FUNERAL OF MR. EMERY.

Yesterday afternoon the ceremony of removing the
remains of this celebrated and much lamented Actor
for interment took place, when the deepest interest
seemed to prevail in the breasts of numbers of indi-
viduals of every class, who assembled near the house
of the deceased, prior to the body having been
brought from its melancholy abode to be carried to
its destination. The coffin, containing the body, bore
the following inscription:
" Mr. Joni, Exert died July 26th, 1822. Aged 45."
In the mourning coaches were observed the following indivi-
duals, vie. Horatio, Robert, John, and William Emery, sons of
the deceased, were in the first coach, as chief mourners.
In the second were Messrs. John Thompson, William Ross,
Simeon Smith, Hardy, and Mr. Charles mery.
Third, Messrs. Thomas Clarke, Henry Gobbins, Edward
Smith, Hullock, and Myers.
Fourth, Messrs. Egerton, C. Taylor, Brandon, Chapman, and
Cullock.

Fifth, R. Mom. Esq. T. Dibdin, Esq. Mr. Rouse, and ,
Mr. Finals.
The Procession moved slowly on through Hyde-
street, Bury-place, Hart-street, Bloomsbury-square,
Southampton-street, Holborn, and on to St. Andrew's
Church-yard, where, on their arrival, a vast concourse
of spectators had assembled to view the ceremony.
On the coffin being taken from the hearse the
mourners alighted from the carriages, and were
joined by Messrs. BARTLEY, CALLAHANt MOUNTAIN,
and other Gentlemen, forming the Company at the
Lyceum Theatre, who followed in procession to the
body of the Church, preceded by the Clergyman
reading part of the funeral ceremony. .The pews of
the Church were already crammed ; and, amongst
others, were recognised many ancient Actors, who
attended to witness the last ceremony performed aver
their respected brother.

More acti►e exertions or warmer bene►olence, in
behalf of one family, ha►e seldom occurred within
our recollection, than for the family of the late Mr.
Essay. Among the subscriptions is one of 204
from Lord Essax ; one Gentleman has gi►en 101. for
a box ticket, and many are purchasing them at a
guinea each : the box-book is filling rapidly. Besides
other aid from the different Theatres, awls, of the
Amphitheatre (late Arrtria), has tendered the use
of his stud, to be employed in any way the Committee
may think proper. It ought to be mentioned, to the
honour of the profession, that they not only proffer
their assistance gratuitously, but subscribe liberally.
