FUNERAL OF MR. DUCRO W.

Saturday, about half-past twelve o'clock, the remains of this
celebrated equestrian performer, ar.d theatrical manager, were
removed from his late residence, No. 19, Yock-road, Lambeth,
for the purpose of burial at the General Western Cemetery at
Kensall-green, Harrow-road. As early as eight o'clock this
morning a crowd of persons had collected opposite to the house,
and the number continued to increase until about twenty
minutes past twelve o'clock, when many thousands were
collected in the immediate neighbourhood ; and is
addition to this vast assemblage, Westminster-bridge, Bridge-
street, and Parliament-street, were densely thronged, so as to
be rendered nearly impassable. At half-past eleven o'clock
Superintendent Grinsell, of the L division, assisted by In-
spector Ferguson, arrived with 160 of the force under his
direction, to preserve order ; and had very considerable diffi-
culty, owing to the compact and close body the crowd formed,
in clearing sufficient space for the funeral cavalcade to draw up.
Three favourite horses of the deceased preceded the hearse,
which was drawn by six horses, and followed by four mourning
coaches drawn by four horses each, and seven by two horses
each ; the whole brought up by a long line of the private
carriages of the friends of the deceased, and his own. Amongst
the mourners were his three executors, Mr. Searle, Mr.. Ozcar
133:rne, and Mr. Anderson ; also Messrs. Weatmacott, Gomer-
sal, Honner, Osbaldiston, &c. A very respectful and becom•
ing feeling was evinced by the crowd.
The coffin was covered with purple velvet, and lined with
white satin ; the inscription on the lid plate was as follows:
Andrew Ducrow, died 27th Jan., 1842, aged 48 years."

EXTRAORDINARY DISPATCH. --- By ten
o'clock on Friday morning, we had lying before us an
Express Edition of The Sun, containing the whole of the
debate in both Houses on the Address ! Great credit
is due to the spirited Proprietor of that paper for the
efforts thus made to put the public in possession of in-
formation universally and ardently looked -for. The
Erpress was sent to Leeds by special train. One of the
papers was addressed to us, with Mr. Young's compli-
ments ; for which we beg thus publicly to thank- that
gentleman. This has enabled us to give the conclusion
of the debate, including Sir Robert Peel's speed), to
many thousands of readers, who would otherwise have
had to wait till next week. We believe the dispatch
evinced in this instance is unequalled.—Northern Star.

" THE SUN."—As in common justice, no less
than in courtesy bound, we have on more than one
occasion awarded the praise due for extraordinary exer-
tions to the conductors of The Sun. But of all the
efforts made by the Metropolitan press generally,
and by the above-named newspaper in particular,
that which is in itself most astonishing, and which most
claims thankful acknowledgment from the Provincial
Press, is the completion of the wholedebate of Thursday
evening by The Sun, and the transmission of the Report
to all quarters of the kingdom the same night by Express.

THE QUEENS SPEECH.—Parliament was opened
by her Majesty in person on Thursday ; and by the aid

the period of its delivery ! It was brought to,this city in a
second edition of The Sun, by the Engineer coach,
which arrived here at half-past one this (Friday) after-
noon—thus beating the mail by nearly two hours.—Car-
lisle Journal. _ _ _
