FUNERAL OF SAMUEL CROOK.

Yesterday, in conformity to the wish of Samuel Crook, who
was executed yesterday sen'eight, (made on:the night before, to the
Rev. M. Isaac), his body was interred in the burial ground
belonging to Gloucester Chapel,: in the fields at Hackney. The
funeral train consisted of the deceased's parents, and his brothers
and sisters, six in number, and followed by a vast concourse of
people, who all seemed to lament his untimely end. The
burial-
ground was crowded to exclos, and the funeral service was read
by the Rev. Mr. Isaac, frost the 40th Chapter of Isaiah, lit and
kd vase, which had been selected by the misguided youth. A
tomb-stone will shortly be erected at the head of the grave, on
which the following lines, written by the culprit, will be engraven :
a' Complete in Omni, transporting the ught,
A sinner vile, and good for nought ;
Yet saved by &Kisumu grace.
Hear, Angels! wonder and adore,
Such love was never known before,
As shines In Jesus' face."

ECLIPSE OF THE MOON.—To-morrow there will be
an eclipse of the Moon, partly visible. The Moon
rises at three minutes past four o'clock, and the eclipse
will commence at twenty-four minutes past three, and
will terminate at nineteen minutes past five o'clock is
the evening ; duration one hour and fifty-five minutes;
' digits eclipsed 2i on the moon's southern limb.
Saturday morning, at about seven o'clock, the front
part of the provision and grocery shop occupied by Mr.
Mossop, at the corner of Edmund-street, Liverpool,
fell down with an awful and tremendous crash. The
family, we are informed, had not come down stairs at
the moment when the alarming occurrence took place;
but as they were accustomed to sleep in a part of the
premises rather detached from the shop, they happily
escaped injury. The catastrophe appears to have been
caused by the natural decay of the beams and joists,
which are evidently incapable of supporting the weight
of the building, and not by an accummulation of weight,
in the upper looms, which has in some instances been
the cause of similar occtn rences.

S HOCK I NOA( C I D EN T.—Yesterday, as two Gentlemen,
named Kay and Wit.wasts, were proceeding in a single horse
chaise along the Waterloo-road, on their arrival near the Coburg
Theatre, the animal being ►ery playful, W.H. suddenly checked by
the driver, when it instantly darted cif, overturned the chaise,
and precipitated both of them with great v„►lence into the middle
of the road. Mr. KAY received no material injury in the fall, but
Mr. Wit.t.taars's leg getting entangled with the reins he was dragged
some distance, had his leg broken, and u as otlterw•ise seriously in•
jured. Medical assistance was promptly procured, and at first,
amputation was thought necessary, but on enquiry this morning,
..opes are entertained that he will recover without the operation.

IMPERIAL DISTILLERY COMPANY.

The Sharebolderi who had signed t'e deed of settle-
ment of this Company were called by public advertise-
ment to meet yesterday, at 13atson's Coffee-house,
Corohill, in order to take measures for recovering from
the Dirt ctors the amount of their respective deposits,
inasmuch as the conditions. and terms stated in the
prospectus had not been fulfilled;

. .
Very few Shareholder! attended at the appointed
hour, and the Gentleman who called the meeting. not
wishing to act without the concurrence ef a majority of
the persons interested, declared an, adjournment to a
day within the next week, to be fixed by an early ad.
vertisement, though some Shareholders present seemed
to think the meeting sufficiently full to proceed to busi-
ness. In the course of conversation, it was stated that
the projectors of this Association originally stipulated
with its members that their stock should consist of
12,000 Shares of 5(1. each, but that of these Shares not
more than 1,400 were ever sold ; notwithstanding which
the Directors thought proper to purchase most extensive
premises, to a% hich their funds were t..tally inadequate.
On each Share two instalments (amounting to la) have
already been paid; but they ate now at a discottut r.l
91. l7s. 6d. so that no more than half-a crown is to be
got in the mat ket for what the shareholders paid 101.
