THE NABOB AT HOME.—This novel promises to
afford no less amusement to those of our countrymen
and women who have closed their career in India, and
are enjoying its results "at home," than of valuable
and difficult to be procured information to those who
are looking to that country as the arena of their fu-
ture struggle for fortune or fame. Its writer is
said tobe more intimately familiar with "Life in India"
than perhaps any one among those who have hitherto
employed their pens on this fertile and entertaining.
topic ; and the lively mode he has adopted of convey-
ing to the reader the results of his observation, proves
that he is not behind the spirit of his age—when
people will not accept even the information they most
need, unless it be conveyed to them in the form of en-
tertainment. The great variety of individual cha-
racter introduced into this novel, and the singular and
eccentric
phases of character that are impressed by a
life passed in India, promise for this work a lasting
popularity.

The following is a summary of the Report on the
reference to consider the 26th standing order, and to
report whether any and what appointments should be
excepted from its operation :—" We, your Committee,
to whom on the 11th of May it was referred to con-
sider the 26th standing order, viz.—That no person,
not having been admitted to the freedom of this city
two years, except entitled thereto by servitude or pa-
trimony, shall be elected to any place or appointment
of emolument in the gift of-this Court, or of any
Committee or Commission chosen by them; and to
report our opinion—do certify that we have been at-
tended by Mr. R. Taylor, the mover of the reference,
and after hearing him, we referred the matter to a
Sub-Committee for consideration, who have reported
to us that they had duly proceeded therein, and it
appeared to them—' That if the said standing orders
be strictly adhered to, the choice of the Court
would be considerably circumscribed in elections to
clerical and educational appointments and profes-
sorships, as well as to some highly important offices
held by barristers-at-law, and the offices of Town-
Clerk, and Secondary, and Surveyor, by reason of the
improbability of a sufficient number of talented per-
sons who have been freemen of this city two years,
and who are members of the professions, being thund,
to afford a due and proper choice in those elections.'
That in order, for the future, to guard against the
foregoing inconvenience, and that a fixed principle in
election of officers may be as far as possible adopted
and maintained by the Court, it was the opinion of
the Sub-Committee that the standing order be
amended by the addition of the following words, viz.
But that this regulation shall not extend to cleri-
cal nor educational appointments and professorships,
nor to offices to be filled by barristers-at-law, nor to
the offices of Town-Clerk or Secondary, nor to the
offices of Clerk of the City's Works, the Commissioner
of the City Police, nor the Clerk of the Works of the
Thames Navigation ; bat that all candidates for these
appointments shall be required to be free at the time
of election and we, agreeing with the Sub-Com-
mittee on their Report, submit the same to the judg-
ment of the Court.

FUNERAL OF THE MARQUIS
WELLESLEY.

The mortal remains of the late Marquis Wellesley
were removed vesterday from Kingston House,
Knightsbridge, to Eton College. Notwithstanding
the early hour (six o'clock) at which the funeral took
place, a great number of persons had assembled to
witness the solemn spectacle, many of whom followed
as far as Kensington.

The funeral was in every sense of the word strictly
private, the noble relations of the deceased Marquis
did not follow, but his Royal Highness the Duke of
Sussex, the Duke of Wellington, Earls of Morning-
ton and Westmoreland, the Marquis of Douro, Lord
Lyndhurst, the Rev. Mr. Wellesley, and Sir R. Peel,
will join the procession at the entrance of the College.
At half-past seven o'clock the remains of the de-
ceased Nobleman, inclosed in three coffins, were
placed in the hearse ; the inner coffin, which contains
the body, is made of oak, and lined throughout with
white satin, the middle one is of lead of extraordinary
thickness, and the outer, or state coffin, is manufac-
tured of the best Spanish mahogany, covered with
rich crimson Genoa velvet, thickly studded with gilt
nails, gilt handles and ornaments ; at the head of the
coffin is a coronet, and on each side are the armorial
hearings of the house of Wellesley and Mornington ;
the plate bears the following inscription—" Richard
Colley Wellesley, Marquis Wellesley, K.G., &c., &c.,
born 20th June, 1760, died 26th September, 1842, in
the 83d year of his age." The pall has the arms of the
deceased nobleman richly emblazoned on each side.
The funeral procession passed through Colnbrook
and Slough, direct to Eton, where it was joined
by the noble relatives and immediate friends of the
deceased, who accompanied it to the Election-hall,
where the remains lay in state last evening, and
to-day will be deposited in the vault in which Dr.
Goodall reposes. No person will be admitted except
the relatives and friends of the deceased, and the
authorities and students of the College.
