THE FUNERAL OF MR. HUSKISSON.

Fainav--This being the day appointed for the inter.
meat of the remains of W. Huskimoq.2. from an earl t hour in the
morning the bells of all the churches is Ilbe place (and they are not a
few) were tolled; the shops throughout the town were for the most
part
2(6.f:fogad, as were the shutters and blinds of the principal private
and the greater part of the ships in the Docks hoisted their
colours half-mast high; the flags also on the Town Hall, and on se-
vend of the churches, were in the same position ; and in every respect,
it was impossible for greater observance to be paid to the solemnity
of the occasion. Independently of the general good understanding
that existed between Mr. Huskisson and the townspeople, and the
consequent sorrow they would entertain for his death, much of the feel.
fog displayed this day is, how the people might best express the sense
they had of his worth, and pay respect to him who had done them good
service while &lire.

It it curious, however, to observe the different light in which Mr.
Huskisson was regarded bete, to that upon which he was looked upon
in London. In the metropolis all dirlations turn upon bow far
the Right Ron. Gentleman was en to rejoin the Cabinet, what loss
the Duke of Wellington has sus by his death, and in what de.
gree it le probable that the Buskisson party, now that their leader is no
tore, farm part of the Administradon. The case here is quite the
reverse. In Liverpool he is considered essentially as the late representa-
tive of Liverpool, and scarcely a word is heard in allusion to his hay.
ing formed part of a previous Administration, or the likelihood, had he
lived, of his forming pert of a subsequent one.
The moving of the procession was fixed for ten o'clock ; but as early
as eight, two mutes on horseback were stationed at the entrance to the
Town-hall ; six mutes on foot were placed in the vestibule, at the stair-
case, and at the other parts of the building occupied by the ceremony.
Shortly after that hour the Committee began to assemble ; and it was
I already manifest, by the number of persons congregated in the
streets, that great interest was excited throughout the town. At nine
o'clock the great door of the Town-hall was thrown open, and those
gentlemen who had previously sent in their names to attend at the
funeral began to arrive. They entered by the great door in the
vestibule ; on the lehland aide of which the coffin was placed on
a set of trestles, the whole being covered with a handsome velvet
pall, bordered with white satin, and the sides of which were ornamented
with Mr. liuskhson's coat of arms end treat. The coffin was at-
tended by mutes and truncheon-bearers. From the vestibule the
company passed up the grand flight of stairs into the front suite of
apartments, and thence by the side drawing-room into the great dining
apartment. This apartment, the proportions of which are exceedingly
lofty and spacious, presented an uncommon appearance to those who
have been in the habit of previously visiting it. The only occasions on
which it has hitherto been thrown open to the public have been tor the
celebration of the Corporation festivals, when, of course, chandeliers,
candelabra, and other receptacles for light, nave poured forth the moat
brilliant illumination on the scene. To-day, on the contrary, its whole
appearance was as sombre as it has heretofore been splendid; and it was
almost difficult to believe that it was the same apartment.
'"'`The whole of the mourners, Committee, and walking Gentlemen,
having arrived by ten o'clock, Mr. Wilson, of the firm of Wilson and
00. undertaken, of this town, and to whom the care of the funeral had I
been confided, proceeded immediately to arrange the procession; and at
a quarter after ten, the mutes that headed it received the signal to move
towards the place of interment. At the same time a six-pounder, that was
stationed on the site of the New Custom-house, was discharged, to in.
farm those officially engaged at the cemetery that the procession had
+n to move. The order in which it quitted the Town ball was as

The procession, which during its progress must have extended a
leastlialf • mile in length, was y twenty-five minutes in being
marshalled from the Town Hall. The route that was adopted wee
through Castle-street, Lord-street, Church.street, Bold sweet, Slater.
street, and Duke-street, at the upper end of which latter street the
cemetery is situated. Throughout the whole of this line, which was
nearly two thousand yards in length, an immense multitude of persons
was assembled, not only in the streets, but at the windows of
the houses, on the tops of the neighbouring churches, and every
other available place where a glimpse of the procession could be hoped
for. The precaution taken by the Committee of railing ciao avenue
frau the middle tithe streets through which the procession was toms,
was admirably contrived; it prevented every thing in the shape of
contusion, and enabled thousands and thousands, by once occupying a
stand next the railing, to be sure of viewing the whole line of procession
as it passed. The church-yard in Church-street presented a very inter.
=t, an immense body of the charity children of the town being
there, and, owing to its elevation above the line of aura, it
afforded them a favourable opportunity of seeing the whole.
The head of the procession reached the gate of the cemetery at exactly
quarter to twelve, having occupied an hour and a half in its og
from the Town Hall. As soon as the mutes on horseback had into
the vacant space that had been railed off in faint of the wee, the gentle.
Ma that had raldellaY been walking six and six, filed off into three
and three, to sec Make into the arena. The time occupied
in entering thecemasery was rather than twenty minutes.

THE TURF.

DONCASTER RACES—(Conduded.)

Doncaster, Friday Night.
The *erne unpleasant weather that marked the last day of the Racci
in 1829, accompanied the termination of the present meeting. .1 steady
continuous rain threw a gloom ova the sport, that not even the secoi.(l
appearance of Birmingham could dissipate. In concluding our nouc:
or' these races, we should state that although many of the lodgings wee.:
not let, and the company much thinner than last year, the stand, tit •
bolls, and the new betting-roonsa, received greater support; upwards of
2,000 tickets (at a guinea each) were sold for the stand. The first ball
was attended by upwards of 200 fashionable*, and the second by double
that number, and the rooms bad more than 700 subscribers.
