FLANDERS AND DUTCH MAIL.
BRUSSELS, AUG. 4.—His Excellency Earl de Grey,
Viceroy of Ireland, accompanied by his family and
suite, arrived last night at the Hotel d'Angleterre, on
his way to some Spa in Germany.
BRUSSELS, Auc s.—The funeral service ordered by
her Majesty the Queen, for the repose of the soul of her
brother, the Duke of Orleans, was performed to day in
the church of St. Jacques de Candenburg. The Queen
and her suite, in deep mourning, arrived at eleven
o'clock. The church was hung with black. The number
of persons desirous of paying this last tribute of respect
to the memory of the Duke of Orleans was so great that
they could not find room in the church. Several members
of the diplomatic body were:present, among whom were
the Papal nuncios, the French Ambassador, with _his
secretaries and all his family, the Spanish and Danish
Charge d'Affaires, and several of the members of his
Majesty's household, and a great number "of persons of
distinction, civil and military, attended on this melan-
choly occasion. The Minister of Foreign Affairs has
presented to the Chamber of Representatives a project of
law, ratifying the convention concluded between the
Belgian Government and the King of Holland (as Grand
Duke of Luxemburg), for the purpose of facilitating the
completion of the canal of the Meuse and Moselle.
THE HAGUE, AUG. 3.—From a detailed account of
the damage done by the late fire at Leenwarden, it ap-
pears that the number of the sufferers was forty-eight,
and the total amount of their losses 99,550 florins.

By a Royal resolution of the 15th of August, 1839, a
Commission was appointed to propose the necessary
projects of law for adjusting the new codes of the kingdom
of the Netherlands to our Indian possessions. The Corn-
misson, at the heal of which is Mr. C. J. Scho-
lien, of Old Haarlem, President of the Su-
preme Civil and Military Tribunals of India,
has now completed an important portion of its labours,
by the completion of" regulations for the judicial or-
ganisation, and the mode of proceeding in the courts of
justice in the I)utch East Indian possessions." These
regulations having been carefully examined by the de-
partment of the Colonies and of Justice, and by the
Council of State, has been approved by his Majesty
(by a resolution of the 25th July), with the addition
that these shall serve as a basis, for other plans which
shall be drawn up for the same purpose.
AMSTERDAM, AUG. s.—The funeral service for his
Royal Highness the Duke of Orleans was celebrated
to-day in the Roman Catholic Church.

WANT of RESPECT for the DEAD.

TO THE EDI7OR OF THE SUN.

- - _
beg to call your attention, and that of your
readers, to the following brief statement of the conduct
of the Rev. Mr. Onslow, of St. Mary, Newington Butts,
that being the only remedy afforded for my outraged
feelings as a son, and the only means that I am aware of
by which the Rev. Gentleman may be deterred from
treating others in the like manner.
On the 3d inst. I left my home (Watford, Herts) for
the purpose of attending the funeral of my mother at
Newington. After the service had been read in the
church, we were informed that the grave was too small,
and the above-named Rev. Gentleman said that the body
should remain in the church until the next morning,
under lock and key, and he gave strict injunctions to the
sexton accordingly.
Relying upon the Rev. Gentleman's solemn engage-
ment, I and the other relatives of the deceased returned
home, and appointed to attend the completion of the ce-
remlny the next clay.
On our arrival at Newington accordingly we found, to
our horror and astonishment, that the coffin had been
ignominously jammed into the grave the evening before,
about seven o'clock, and left exposed during the night.
It was intended that the coffin should lie upon that of
my late father ; bu- so hastily and uncouthly was it
consigned to the earth, that it lies jammed in about three
feet above the other.
The ceremony was completed, but whether the corpse
remained in the coffin it is impossible for us to say ; but
under the circumstances we are naturally suspicious, anl
our feelings are harrowed up by doubts and fears that it
may have been taken away in the night, as the coffin was
quite bare and exposed.
On our remonstrating with the Rev. Gentleman for
his violation of his engagement, he observed, that if we
felt aggrieved we might make a complaint to the Bishop;
but I informed him at once of the course I intended to
pursue, and that I should prefer making the public ac-
quainted with the facts through the medium of the public
press, so that, if possible, such scenes might be prevented
in future.—l am, Sir, your obedient servant,
THOMAS YOUNG.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
Stn,—Observing in your paper of this evening, under
the head of " Concussion Shells," an account of expe-
riments at Woolwich with shells on this principle by
Sergeant-Major Moore of the Royal Artillery, I beg to
state that, having read the report with great attention,
I have no doubt the invention alluded to is identical
with my concussion shell, with which I made expe-
riments on the warren at Woolwich in October last, in
presence of Lieutenant-Colonel Belson (then Secretary
to the Select Committee), and other Artillery officers,
and more recently on the sands near Deal, in presence
of Admiral Sir George Cockburn, and Major Hardinge,
Commander of the Artillery.—l am, Sir, your obedient
servant, JOHN NORTON,
Late Captain of the 34th Regiment.

LISTS or VOTERS.—In consequence of the 31st o,
July falling on Sunday this year, the lists of voters were
exhibited on the church and chapel doors yesterday,
and on Sunday next, and may be seen at the house
of an overseer during the first fortnight in August. Those
persons who desire to secure their votes should not fail to
see if their names are inserted ; and also that names have
not been improperly put on. It is better that claims, in
cases of omission and objection, where there is sufficient
ground should be made by a registration society,
where there is one. The following are the grounds
of objection :—Peers ; aliens, under twenty-one years of
age ; idiot or lunatic ; officers in the Excise, Customs,
Stamps, Post-office, assessed taxes (if appointed by As-
sessed-tax Commissioners) ; new police ; conviction of
bribery, or anyother crime ; pauper; dead; premises not of
sufficient value, not a house, warehouse, counting-
house, shop, or other building; chambers, if a street-
door ; lodger, where the premises are not included in the
above description ; landlords who did not occupy a suf-
ficient part ; servant, as secretary, manager, or other-
wise, not being owner or tenant ; not occupied twelve
months ending the 31st of July. or let the premises during
any part of the year ; bankrupt or insolvent ; not rated
or claimed to be rated ; poor-rate not paid ; window
tax not paid ; non-residence within seven miles from
the 31st of January to the 31st of July ; partners, where
premises do not give 101. a-year to each partner ;or not
in partnership for a year ending the 31st of July, or
want of qualification in other respects as above. Notice
of objection or of claim must be served on the overseers.
STABAT MATER.—The final performance of this
fine composition took place on Friday at her Majesty's
Theatre, before an audience almost as numerous as those
which have attended on the previous occasions. Not-
withstanding the distaste which has of late been evinced,
upon religious grounds, for 'this composition, it was
again received with loud applause, and Eubini was, as
before, encored in his air crentree. The choruses pro-
duced a magnificent effect, the stentorian voice of the
great Padre Lablache swelling conspicuously beyond
his compeers. Whatever be the objections which are
raised against this species of entertainment, it appears to
be a general Source of regret that this should be the last
nuportunity (for this §ettson, at least) of hearing it in its
• - - narfection.
