HE LATE MR. HUSEISNO N.
----Liverpool, Wednesday, 12 eck ck
The Committee appointed to manage the funeral of 111 r.
is now sitting, arid has nearly completed all the preliminary arra.:,..
ments. With a view to prevent confusion, it has just published a
of the regulations which it wirlfes to have observed on Friday nes,
The gentlemen who have intimated to the Committee their inteiuma
to attend at the funeral arc informed th.t a room at the Town.ltall

will be open for their reception at nine o'clock on Friday i.e..,
and that the funeral will set out from that place as soon
the procession can be arranged after ten. The procession r: iii
pass through the streets mentioned, and neither caches, carts, nor
any other species of vehicle, will be allowed to remain in them defile; the
time of its passage. The gates of th., cemetery will be closed against ail
persons not habitcd in decent mourning ; and even such persons will te‘.
be admitted without tickets. This regulation, which is necessary to pre.
serve the place from injury, will not materially diminish the crowd er
spectators, as there is room for many thousands to range themselves on the
long line of railing which surrounds it on every side. As this cemetery
has not been long opened, and as it is one of those institutions white!.
ought to be established as a sanatory precaution in every town in Erg.
land, I will take the opportunity of giving you a brief desctiptton of it.
At the north-cast end of the town of Liverpool there was some year.
a large and unshapely quarry, out of which moat of the stone um d 1..
building the docks and other public edifices of the town had been larked.
Some spirited individuals conceived the idea of reducing the bottom
of this excavation to a level plain, of covering it over with grass turf,
and a sufficiency of soil to ensure the growth of forest shrubs, and of
converting it, when thus simply ornamented, into a place of burial, per.
fectly:distinct from any of the churches and chapels in the town. W'itlen
the last three or four years this design has been fully carried into effect.
—The rouglilmisthapen sides of the quarry are on three sides con-
verted into sloping banks, planted with dwarf forest true, a:d
covered with various sorts of wild grasses. The fourth side (I speak of
the eastern side, which is nearly 4410 yards long,) is formed of a slant-
ing wall of solid masonry, 62 feet high, in which are a range of arched
doors, intended as entrances to future catacombs. The dell, thus en-
compassed by solid masonry on one side, and clusters of trees, ytt -n
their infancy, on the other three sides, is about 00 yards wide, and is
laid out in three large grass plats, which are surrounded and intersected
by various serpentine walks, and planted with trees of different descrip-
tions. On these grass plats there at present moue stones erected over
the dead, and others laid down to secure the ground as a burial.
place for those who are now living, after they shall have " shuffled
off this mortal coil" In the middle of the centre grass-plat Mr.
Huskisson is to be buried; and it is singular that in a late visit to this
town he hadexpressed a wish, whilst admiring this great work, that
his mortal remains should rest within it 1 The spot chosen for his grave
is admirably selected, as it is visible from nearly every part of the ceme-
tery. This is as it ought to be, considering that the funeral is to be
a public one, and is to be followed up by the erection of a monu-
ment to celebrate not only his merits, but the gratitude of his con.
stintents. The grave is about four feet square, and as it is dug out
of the solid rock,wW only require to be vaulted on the top. Its depth is
12 fact Ample room is therefore left for the reception of the remains of
any other members of his family who may wish to mingle their ash...
with his. Immense numbers may behold the deposit of Mr. Huskisvon%
body in the grave, as there are, on the western side, below the railings,
two distinct tiers of galleries, running all its lengths, one above the
other, broad enough to permit carriages to pass along them ; and on
the eastern side, three regular tiers, of similar width, which, commenc-
ing at opposite ends, and intersecting each other in the middle, descend,
at each extremity into the level plain, where the funeral is to take place.
I will not take up more of your space in a vain attempt to describe that
which both in an architectural and picturesque point of view, is far be-
, yard any praise of mine. You will have some idea of its size, but
scarcely any of its beauty, when I inform you that it contains 44,000
square yards of land, or I should rather say rock, within its precincts.
Near the entrance from Duke-street stands a small and beautifully-ele.
gent chapel, built in the purest Doric style.
The pkeepers in the different streets through which the procession
is to pass have declared their intention of closing their shops entirely 0:;
the day of the funeral. It is impossible to give you an sdt crate hlt aof
the deep regret which is felt here by all classes for the lose or Mr. Liu.-
kieson. Every body seems anxious to be present at :he last tribute of
respect which Mr. Huskisson's peesonal remains can now receive.

In reference to the opening of a communication betweeik

Rai sea, " J. W. Taylor, Esq. who has long been employed in
/nag a scheme the establishing a line of steam-packets between Cal-
cutta and London. Mr. Taylor's object, which appears to be nearly
completed, is to have an establishment of PlCAM.Velletil sufficiently
amosrous to admit one sailing every fortnight from England to
Idle. The route of the Teasels is to he by the Rid Sea and the
Mediterranean, and Mr. Taylor calculates on tffeeting it In
hfty-five days, thus securing a more frequent, quick, and tar
cheaper communication between Great Britain and her Eastern posses..
sions, than at present exists. Mr. T.'s scheme is so well advent:4d in
' regard to funds, &c. that I.e promises to introduce it without any mil-
-1 cited advice from Government. or aid from individuals. The only et-
csopagentent asked is that promised to Mr. Waghorn in regard to the

MARTA DEL MOO TO HER HUSBAND.•

here Albion's towering cliff* o'erhang the sea,
l'hy hapless wife, Riego. weeps for thee.—
Weeps the first victim of a tyrant's reign,
For Spain to suffer all save wear her chain.
The beacon fire, hope, fed to greet thy sail,
Hath died, and strewn its embers on the gale.
Yet reft affection ltntzers 'mid her tears,
t r the britth, prnmise of our parted years,
Anil lingering, looks with half deluded eyes,
Where 00e...r. hears the arch of southern skies,
Around whine sapphire base the billows play,
And 'Death the sun-beams heave their spat kling spray.
To ;wise --to tile, ah ! to I turn,
While fame prepares her laurel for thine urn.
Fondly I dream Riego yet shall live,
Rut wake to feel each stab thy murderers give.
When last we paved on cur native shore,
How little the 1 we should meet no more;
How little thought what once so fair did stem,
:Should wither like the harvest of a dream;
That locust-clouds-should wrap the blooming ground,
And thou and freedom in one grave be found.
In v.tin was seen thy gallant plume to wave,
Where hosts opposed—the charge of fury gave ;
Vain cheered thy voice on to the battle shock;
Valet ilisheti thy sword amid each volley's smoke,
tY,:rwh..imine numbers crushed thy patriots few,
And o'er thine arms a captive's fetters threw.
A tyrant's edict bide each patriot roam,
And pine in exile from his native home ;
Forbids thy wife, who with thee would have bled, ;
To share the bolt that bursts upon thy head;
Watch'd o'er thy last sad pillow of repose,
And begged her martyr's ashes from his foes.
Yet these shall fond admiters steal away,
And in some mountain-cave the treasure lay,
Where lurking patriots, blending o'er the shrine,
Recall with tears thy country's wrongs and thine,
And, breathing there thy spirit from the tomb,
Sigh for some hour of vengeance yet to come.
Yes ! in Riego's name there lives a spell
Shall fire that olive land he loved too wel I;
Corruption there with flame shall purify,
And light o'er Spain the star of liberty.
But what can give this severing heart relief,
Or heal the wounds of its undying grief ?
Though here are breasts where generous feelings glow ;
Though here the fairest fruits of freedom grow ;
Though England welcome gives through all her isle,
One moumful stranger there shall never smile.
Home of my youth ! dear wert thou to the hour,
When love first planted there his blissful bower,
And with his garland bound us in one fate :
Scenes happy once, ye now are desolate !
Yet, when shall pass the fury of the storm,
One mournful task thy widow will perform :
When glutted blood-hounds sickening amid gore,
Sleep at oppression's feet, and seek no more
The hunted wanderers for their country's sake,
Then shall my bark her silent visit make.
!Wore one silent witness—the pale moon,
I'll take of frowning fate her last sad boon.
To seek where far the Atlantic waves expand,
With pilgrim's faltering foot my native strand,
There will Maria, in some sacred guise,
Breathe 'mid thy ruined halls her heart-wrung sighs;
There wandering still, will hallow with her tears
Each blighted scene that banished blies endears.
Thus some poor bird whose nest on verdant spray,
Summer-embowered with leaves and blossoms gay,
That drank the dews of morn with sunny song,
And fluttered glad the warbling choirs among,
When winter loads the woods and naked boughs
With feathery frosts and field-enwrapping snows ;
When icy winds from polar caves come forth
To waft their clouds and vapours from the north,
Hcr fond mate perished, and her green bower gone:
Still lingering haunts that ravished spot alone,
Fain still would trace the lints: of beauty therefee
11(..r leaf-roofed nest. the lost brood of her care,
The silver morn, calm evening's golden ray,
And all the charms of memory's brighter day,
'Me silent droops while fleecy flakes descend,
And waits the chill of death—her only friend I
