Sussex.

Lord Clanricarde, (Mr. Canning's son-iii-iaw)
accompanied by Mr. Stapleton, (Mr. Canning's
Private Secretary.) •
The Earl of Carlisle, the Marquis of Stafford, and
Earl Morley.

The Marquis of Conyngbam, the Duke of De-4

The Lord Chancellor, Lord Goderich, and Old

Mr. Sturges Bourne, Sir George Cockburn, and
Mr. Backhouse.

Then followed the Cops Diploniatique, amongst
which we noticed the Prince Estethazy, the
Prince Lieven, the Marquis of Palmella, and Count
Munster. A number of the Nobility who were!
more remotely connected with the illustrious de-1
ceased, made up the procession, which was
admitted through the small gate in the left
aisle, and advanced to the spot, where the
vault had been prepared, the Dean occasiona
reading the passage introductory to the Burial Ser-1
vice. The coffin was then lowered into the vault,'
which is of brick, and only large enough to contain,
one coffin. The whole space round the vault and
near to its edges was covered with Indian mat-'

ting. The Very Rev. the Dean read the solemn
'service for the dead, during which the most de.i
corous stillness was preserved. When it was concluded,
many of the mourners came forward and looked
into the vault, to take a last farewell of him, whosel
remains were now consigned to dust. Amongst"
those, public sympathy was particularly
.called forth
by the appearance of that interesting youth, whose'
relationship to the illustrious deceased, placed him in
the character of Chief Mourner. He supported
himself with great firmness during the solemn
ceremony until he cast a parting glance at his father's
grave; when his eyes became suffuSed with tears,
and he was borne away apparently suffering under'

this agitation. The other mourners withdrew
separately, and the Abbey was cleared at
few minutes after two o'clock. In the course
of the day we noticed several persons retir-
ing behind the pillars of the Abbey and other
obscure places to indulge in those feelings which
this melancholy event has so generally elicited.
The assembled crowds loitered about the Albany,
long after the mourners had departed.
[The above account is in many respects less per-
fect than we could wish; but the fault is entirely
imputable to the want of that courtesy usually shown
to the Press. We never on any occasion witnessed
more rudeness and insult from underlings, who seemed
to have forgotten the sacredness of the place in the
importance and insolence of office. When power is
again delegated to undertakers in a scene of such
solemnity, we hope that they will be taught,,
if they do not know their duty, and the respect due
to those to whom the public naturally look for a

correct report of proceedings in which the whole
empire is so painfully interested.]

The James Watt steam-packet, Capt. BAIN,
started from Newhaven Roads, Edinburgh, on Saturday
morning, at seven O'clock ; landed and received passengers,
off Scarborough at twelve,o'clock the same night; passed
through Yarmouth Reads on Sunday at noon, and arrived
at Blackwall, London, at two o'clock on Monday morning ;
making the passage in the:short space of forty-three hours!,
including all stoppages.

Lora Pluiiicei returned precipitately to town'
on hearii.g of the fatality at Chiswick. He is at present]
shut up at his country residence, near Bray.--Dublin'

MISS PATON.—We are sorry to find the ac-
count we gave yesterday' of this lady's increased indisposi-1
tion confirmed. The following medical certificate was
published yesterday by the manager of the English Opera-
house :

"This is to certify, that Miss Paton is in such a state ol
constitutional debility, as to require perfect rest for a con-
,siderable time, and to preclude the possibility of her appear-
ing before the public. (Signed) "J. JonNsow, M.D.'

MILITARY MOVEMENTS.—This morning,
between ten and eleven o'clock, a numerous body of re-
cruits for different regiments, proceeded from Westminster,
for the following depots, viz.—Chatham, Canterbury,
111aidstone, and Sheerness.

DALMENY.—The minister of the parish
having been indefinitely suspended from the exercise of his `a
clerical functions for contumacy in refusing to appear before
the presbytery of Linlithgow, and answer to certain charges 4;
which had been preferred against him, the Rev. Mr. Mar-
tin of Bathgate came on Sunday, conformably to the pres-
byterial appointment, to officiate in the parish church. On
his arrival, a little before noon, he repaired to the manse,
and, after inquiring for Mr. Greig, who, he was told, was •
not at home, respectfully demanded the keys of the church.
To this requisition an answer, tantamount to a refusal,
was given by one of Mr. Greig's family, and the Rev.
Gentleman was greatly nonplussed what course to adopt.—
After some consultation, however, with a few of the most
respectable of the parishioners, Mr. Martin was advised to
make a second demand for the keys, in the name of the
presbytery, and in presence of two witnesses; and, ac-
cordingly, proceeded once more to the manse. But he had
no better success than on his first application. One, we
believe,, the eldest, of Mr. Greig's sons appeared, and in
reply to Mr. Martin's earnest and impressive request that
the keys should be given up, said, " I don't know any thing .
about the keys ; I told you so before, and won't that sa- •
tisfy you ?" Defeated at the manse, Mr. Martin next at-
tempted to discover the beadle; but lie, too, had disap- •
peared. Excluded in this manner from the house of God,
the Reverend Gentleman then declared his determination
to preach, as many of the greatest lights of our Church had
done before him, under the open canopy of Heaven; and
a desk, with some forms and chairs, having been procured,
the parishioners assembled on a little lawn to the westward
_ of the School-hoUse,'where two most excellent and impressive'
sermons were delivered by Mr. Martin to as attentive and de-
vout an audience as we ever remember to have witnessed..
During the attempts made to obtain the keys of the church,
the people who were grouped round the manse seemed to
look on with deep interest, and with an expression of
sorrow in their countenances; but they maintained the
most respectful demeanour, and observed a profound silence.
—lt was stated, that while this extraordinary scene was
passing, the clergyman of the parish was hovering about
in the immediate vicinity, communing, of course, with hisl
own thoughts.—Edinburgh Observer.
• Mr. Maddison, formerly President of the'
United States, was considered to be dangerously
ill at the date of the last accounts from his country
seat.

A letter from the Havannah, of the 26th of
June, mentions that the sale of the cargo of the
English vessel James Mitchell, from Liverpool,
would take place at Key West in a month or six
weeks. The State of. Ohio is said to be rapidly
increasing beyond example ; in 1790, the inha-
bitants were only 3,000, the population at pre-
sent is 800,000.—American Paper.
AN AFFECTING INSTANCE OF SUDDEN
DEATII.—As Mr. George Rodd, a surgeon of
considerable practice at Hampstead, was travel-
ling last Thursday with two ladies and a gentle-
man, inhabitants also of Hampstead, on the road
to Aix-la-Chapelle, near a small town in Bra-
bant, called Tirlemont, he fell back in his car-
riage, while conversing with one of his friends,
and instantly expired. Mr. Rodd was a gentle-
man not less esteemed for his professional attain-
ments, than he was beloved for his private vir-
tues ; and he has left a wife and a young family,'
with a long list of attached friends, to bewail this'
unexpected and calamitous termination of his va-
labia life,

ASSIZES.-(RECEIVED THIS DAY.)

NORTHERN CIRCUIT.—DURHAM, Auo. 15.
THE KING V. DILLINOTE.

This was a criminal information exhibited against the
defendant, by his Majesty's Attorney-General, for a mis-
'demeanor, he having endeavoured to bribe two of the officers
belonging to the Preventive Service, on the coast of this
county, to permit him to land a cargo of smuggled Geneva.
The Jury found the defendant Guilty.

Garven Miller and John Miller, two very young men,
brothers, who are employed in one of the coal pits in this
county, stood indicted for attacking an old man named
Thomas Glenwright on the King's highway, putting him
in bodily fear, and stealing from his person his watch and
money.
The Jury found both prisoners guilty, but recommended
;them to mercy, on the ground of their having a good pre-
vious character, and believing them to have been in liquor
lat the time. •
_

The Judge said the recommendation 91400 W be attended
to.—Judgment of death recorded.
Middleton Einmerson was capitally convicted and sen-
tence of death recorded against him, for stealing one ewe
sheep, the property of a farmer named Thomas Oliver, at

NORTHERN RAIL-ROAD COMPANY.

A General Meeting of the Members of this Com- I
pan}, was held yesterday, at the 01(1 London Tavern,
Bishopsgate-street, for the purpose of considering,
the expediency of dissolving the Company. Mr.
BROOK having taken the Chair, 1
Mr. JELL said, he had no doubt that as soon as
a sober and deliberate estimate could be made of the I
public importance and private advantages of the pro-'
posed work, it would receive a vast mass of addi-'
tional support from the public. He concluded with
moving, that it was not advisable to dissolve the
company.
The resolution was carried unanimously.
Mr. Vizard's resolution was then put and also
carried.
It was afterwards agreed to issue a new prospectus,
and call a general meeting in May next.

FOR THE TIMES

The Devil is come to merry England
To revel and rejoice ;
But the Devil with fear did quake and quail,
Like a dog 'tween his legs he hid his tail,
When he heard a free people cry " All hail !"
To the man of their Monarch's choice.

Away he flew to his fav'rite spot,
St. Stephen's height !—and there
He look'd east, west, and north, and south,
,And the Devil with passion he foamed at the mouth,
When he look'd to the " right" of " the chair."

For there erewhile a phalanx stood,
To prop black Satan's throne;
O'er the people they rid, thro' sweat and blood,
When " ask'd for bread, they gave stone" for food ;
And he honenr'd them much, and he thought it good
To call them " THE DEvir.'s owrt !"

But now a bright stream of liberty shone
In lieu of that noxious vapour ;
And " over the left" he saw that gang
Whom a nation's voice had bid " Go hang,"_
They lack'd a " STANDARD" 'neath which to harangue,
And the Devil said, " Set up a paper."
And death stalk'd forth with his merciless dart,
That strikes both high and low ;
And the leading friend of humanity fell,
And the Devil rejoic'd, for he knew full well,
When good men die, it is good for Hell,
And he shouted " Ho, ho, ho."

And they wrote on their STANDARD the great man had died,
Forsaken of God, and sad.
But the Devil himself he felt some shame
As he folded it up with a grin of flame,
,All sealed and signed with the owner's name,
And he wrote on it « THIS is TOO BAD Times.

EPITAPH

PLYMOUTH.—ONE OF THE LAST PRO-
BABLE ACTS OF THE LATE RIGHT HON. GEORGE CAN-
NING AS A PATRON OF THE ARTS..--In allusion to
paragraph in the last Devonport Telegraph, we can state,
with a degree of authenticity, that the late revered States-
man addressed his last private letter, from under his own .
hand and seal, dated July. 30, " Downing-street," to
Lieutenant Ackerley of the Ocean, whose invention lately
received the approbation of his Royal Highness the Duke j
of Clarence, when at Plymouth--expressed in terms the
most gratifying to the inventor, as being the humble in-1
strument, under Divine Providence, in bringing to light an '
invention, whose tendency towards the preservation of
Ahuman life was se apparent,
