THE LATE MR. HORNE Tocace.—The remains of
this celebrated charaeter have been deposited in the
vault belonging to his family, in Ealing Church, and
Dot in Mr. Towee's garden, at Wimoledon, as erro-
neously stated in some contemporary prints. Ihe
ceremony took place yesterday, and the usual funeral
Cites were performed when the body was deposited in
its last earthly receptacle. It was intended that the
funeral should have been very private, but many
friends of Mr. ToOKE attended from motives (f re-
spect to the memory of the deceased. Besides Mr
Toote's relations, there were present, Sir FRANCIS
13 tricDsTr9 Sir WM. Rossi, Colonel Bosvienz, Major
BARNES, Mr. TIMOTHY BROWN, Mr. CUTHBERT, &C.
...The injunctions of Mr. TootcE, relative to his in-
terment in the vault prepared by himself in his Gar-
den, were departed from, after the most mature de-
liberation among his friends, and the idea of a per-
taanent repose to his remains in the Garden was
found to be impracticable.
A very useful Work is about to be published, en-
titled the Circle of the Mechanical Arts. It will
centain Treatises on the different Mechanical Arts,
'Trades, and Manufactures ; written in a plain and
familiar manner. At work of this description has
long been wanted, as there is no book extant that
tontains a full description of the various Manual Arts
and Trades, all our Cyclopxdias being crowded with
a great portion of matter that is of little use to the
generality of readers. The Editor, Mr. Thomas
Maims, is a man of much experience in Mechanical
pursuits, and we have no doubt but his Work will
meet with the encouragement it merits.—(See Myer-
!ink* in firrt /sage).
Letters from Madras state, that a pestilential fever
bad prevailed in the Madura and Palamcnttah di-
stricts, to the southward, which had destroyed almost
all the inhabitants. A person who had returned from
thence stated, that he had passed through nearly 20
villages without seeing one living soul! the houses,
streets, and fields, being covered with the skeletons
and bones of the inhabitants ; and that about 80,000
persons were supposed to have perished..
The work of destruction in the West Riding of
Yorkshire is still continued, and we have this week
the painful duty to add another act of outrage to those
we have already mentioned :—On Wednesday night,
the finishing shops of Messrs. Dickinson, Carr, and
Shun, in this town, were entered, and 18 pieties of
fine cloth, dressed by machinery, torn and cut into
shreds. The damage is estimated at from 5e4.00 to
4500. The perpetrators of this desperate act, it ap-
Pears, entered the premises from the roof, and, after
effecting their purpose, lowered themselves out of an
upper storey by means of a piece of woollen.
FIRES.... Sunday se'nnight, about six o'clock, the
tenon mill belonging to Mr. James Gilchrist, at
1-agleshame, near Glasgow, was discovered to be on
art On the first alarm, nearly the whole inhabitants
of the village, with such vessels as they had for car-
7iag water, ran to give their assistance in extinguish-
tag the flames, in which they were fortunately suc-
cessful, the flames being got tender without doing
such damage. One man had the presence of mind
such
,c 5 fix, on a long pole, an old cotton bag, well soaked
In Water, with which he extinguished the flames on
the roof. The fire, it is supposed, was occasiojted by
a spark from the vent of the steam boiler.
