in Lord Itokgar's Park, commanded by their highly-esteemed Cap-
tain, Sir Jonsi C. Hos:moms, Bart.

FUNIRAL or SHE HON. GEORCE FINCIL—The remains of this la-
mented Officer were removed from Richmond Barracks, Dublin,
at one o'clock on Saturday, and interred with military honours.—
The procession was highly imposing : the band of the Queen's played
the dead march in Saul, dec. The body, deposited in a richly-
mounted coffin, was placed in as elegant hearse with white plumes,
and drawn by six horses; three Officers of the Queen's walked at
each side of the body, wearing black silk scarfs; part of the Regi-
ment followed; the rear was brought up by a number of Officers in
full dress uniform, two and two, with crape arm-bands and sword-
knots. The Hon. Gxoaar Fixes died at Richmond Barracks, on
the 16th instant, of a typhus fever. He was the youngest brother
of the Lan of ATLI:MUD, and the Hon. Major Fusses, Military
Secretary to Lord COMMIRSISM He held the Commission of En-
sign in the 15th Regiment.

Maims 27.—The new cantonment at Palavaram, a few miles
beyond the Horse Artillery drill-ground, is to be considered as part
of the garrison of Fort &. George from the Ist of April. Culoncl
Hawire goes out there to command, and Captain trottwan Coorsa,
the Adjutant at Black Town, accompanies him as part of the Staff.
The 69th Regiment has arrived at Wallajahbad.
Aram s.—Poor Dtmoinnte, Quarter-Master of Brigade at Bel-

ment of the Deccan prize-money, and hope that all our claims have
been admitted.

the young Lady, " I will du trell, and let those who chooses') better."

tioned, and the whole Was over by 15 minutes past sit. In the two

ROWING MATCIL

Yesterday afternoon ene of the finest contests took place on the
river Thames—a contest in which supetior scientific skill and cm-
fiat' were displayed.
The match WAS for a purse of twenty-four sovereigns, given by
Mr. Mann, landlord of the Nine Elm, 'ravens, Battersea, who,
being anxious to make it one of the finest on the watery element,
had selected the six following prite-watermen for the sport :
Names. Belt:Pugin; to. C dour&
Edward Farlow - - Whitehsll - Scarlet.
Jas. Covington - - Westminster - Purple..
Chas. Westwood - W hit riszil - - Orange.
Richard Parson - - Bankside - Light Blue.
henry Turton Nir.e Elms - - Green.
George Coll Bank side - - Yellow.
The conditions of the waget were, that it ih.suld be decided itt
two bests, and the first three boats only of the first heat were enti-
tled to contend for the grand heat.
About tour o'clock, the competitors having placed themselves in
order, its the centre of the river, near buoys off the Nine Elms, pro-
ceeded from thence upwards, in grand style, rowed round a boat
moored off the Red house, Catterset', down the Surrey shore, round
I another boat stationed opposite Cumi.erland Gardens, and then bade
again to the Nine Elms. The whole lennth was most admirably
contested by each competitor, who, confident of his uwi, strength
a-id success, strained every nerve to pass his antagonist : however,
Purple came in first at the starting-place, Light Blue second, and
Scarlet third, pursued by the others. who, although losets, exerted
themselves to the utmost, which was fully proved by the hearty
cheers they received from their friends.
After the first heat was over, Cull charged Westwood with foul-
ing him in the course of the race, and insisted that it wag an unfair
heat, and that it ought to be rowed over again ; on the other hand,
the successful candidates were of a different opinion, and refused to
listen to 2nytbiug in the shape of foul play. Coif, however, Strongly
contended it was foul, and suggested that the six should row again
together, and the first come in win the wager. This did not, how-
ever, meet with any approbation, and the first beat *as then de-
clared foul by the umpires, and must be rowed over again.

SCOTTISH PASTI MRS.
raArekony or cif.trur.s.

Wednesday se'linlght the annual competition among the Ancient
Fraternity of Chapmen (Pedlars) was contested in the King's Park,
Stirling, with more than usual energy.
The day was favourable, and at one o'clock the field was crowded
with persons Irons all quarters of the country, and the scene not
a link enlivened by an elegant display of Ladies. The amusements
commenced with foot-racing by boys, for a hat and stockings. The
different races were well contested, and seemed greatly to interest
the spectators.
The putting-stone was next brought forward and admirably con-
tested. The first prize was eventually awarded to It. Carrick, from
the Bridge of I)rcip, and the next to Peter Cameron, front Donne.
The greatest distance thrown was twenty-nine feet four inches, with
a ball of twenty-two pounds four ounces.
The brethren, all mounted, with spear.in band, next took their
stations round the Ring, evidently not a little anxious as to the
result of the contest ; and on no former occasioc, in the recollection
of the brethren present, had the address and dexterity of the Fra-
ternity procured them so much eclat. They improve with practice.
Formerly to bear off the Ring four or five times within an hour
was the utmost that the moat successful could aspire to. lien,
however, two carried it off seven times ; and three four times.
At the termination of the hour, Air. Sinclair and Air. Dick,
being the most successful candidates, and standing t pal, the rest of
the brethren retired, to give them an opportunity of deciding who
was to claim the envtabk prize. Little more than a minute decided
it in favour of Mr. Sinclair, who was consequently duly decorated
with his honours on the spot, by the Lord Principal, amidst the
cheers of the multitude.
The next amusement was a foot race. Four started, once round
the Course, when John IPLuckie was hailed the successful condi-
' slate, having completely outstript his competitors, although for more
r than half a mile the eintest was very keenly divots d.
The company were then highly pleased with a well contested race,
by Dick of Edinburgh, who rode a regular racer, and Mr. M'Gowan,
who rode his horse at the ring. Dick took the race at l.o:h heats.
Next in order was a race by a couple of asses, which, from the
ardour of the youthful riders and the stupidity of the steeds, af-
forded much amusement. They rode round the Course, and were
followed by at least 20 horsemen, who enjoyed the good humour of
the riders, who although frequently compelled to act the part of
Field Calkers, paid little regard to a smart fall, or the celerity with
which the obstinacy of the coursers caused both the riders and their
chargers to " fall reeling on the plain." '1 his rich west would hose
afforded a still greater source ut amusement, were it not for a mul-
titude of boys who broke in to belabour the pour stupid animals,
who, notwithstanding the force of power so liberally applied behind,
seemed much mote inclined to make a retrograde movement, or go
50 yards of the Course.
The Fraternity, as usual, retired to an inn, to spend the eves-
log together.

MARGATE, SEPTEMBER 23.—This place has not been
so much resorted to for many years p ►st at. so late a
period in the season as at this moment ; and if our neip.
hours at Ramsgate have to boast of their town being
honoured by the residence of Royal Personages and
fashionable company, Margate has also to claim no
small share of ho►►our conlerzed from the frequent visits
of the Royal Party and the Isle of Thanet visitors to UV
cheering attractions and delightful amuse=ments.

INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, SEPT.(A.

William Earl, whose case we noticed in the STAR of
Tuesday last, was further examined to-day on the op-
position of a tailor named Sheaubere, who swore that
the inkilvent stated that his son, fur whcm he or.leied
clothes, %l as at (Wm d.

The insolvent denied having represented his son as
being at Oxford; but said thathis son was apprenticed
to a farmer in Oxfordshire.

The Count., taking into consideration the circumstances
connected'with his schedule, which took place on his
former examination, and the strong probability of his
having intentionally deceived his creditor respecting his
son being at Oxford, although he might not have said
what was not liteially true, were of opinion that this
was a rase in which it was fit that the creditors should
have an opportunity of making further inquiry; and
therelme ordered the insolvent to be remanded for six
months, and confined within the walls of the prison.
Heur4 Augustus Finucaue was opposed by two tailors,
named T!ichi-1 and Lot Lake, in prison. The insolvent
is twenty.five years of age, and said that he had lost
,60U1. by gaming, to which, and a quariel with his
halt-brother, he atti ibuted his in:.olvency. The credi-
tor Lake examined him at some length, for the purpose
of showing, that when he contracted the debt with him,
65/. he could have no reasonable expectation of being
a'ile to pay it. It appeared that the insolvent's re-
sources i.rincipally depended upon the bounty of hi,:
fa:nity, except (we understood) his half-pay; and that
in the year 1821, his mother 'emitted him money to the
amount of 9001. which he divided amongst his creditors.
The COURT observed, that when tailors or other trades.
men came into that Court to complain of the extrava-
gance of insolvents, they should first shew that they
themselves were not to blame in encouraging that ex-
travagance, by allowing young men credit to any
amount, without at least using a reasonable degree of
diligence in inquiring and ascertaining whether or not
they had the means of paying them. If they did this,
they would entitle themselves to the protection of that
Court ; but if they merely speculated on the -chance that
their fiends would not allow them to remain in prison,

or any other probability of that kind, they must abide
by the result of the risk they chose to run. In the pre-
sent case it did nr.t appear that the slighte.t inquiry had
been made into the insolvent's circumstances, and tipon
that ground, and in consideration of his having divided
the £9OO received from his mother amongst his credi-
tors, they orderej the in,olvent CO be discharged.
IN THE MATTER OF WM. WHITE, AN ATTORNEY.

About two months ago, the Court had occasion to
complain of negliget,ce in his duty on the part of Mr.
White, or his clerks, and admonished Mr. White in per-
son upon the subject. In a few days afterward, Mr.
White nut being in attendance when the case of one of
his clients was called on, the Cornmisioners ordered his
name to be struck off the roll of Attornies of this Court.
Mr. Pota.ocic now moved the Court that his name

should be restored, upon the grounds, as stated in the
affidavits of Mr. White and his clerk, that on the day on
which his absence was complained of, his attendance
was prevented by important business bet ote Master
Cross, which obliged him to depute one of his clerks in
his stead, who, however, neglected to be present in pro
per time. Mr. White promised, that it his application
was granted, the Court should never again have occa-
sion to complain of him.—Under these circumstances
the Court ordered his name to be restored.
The Court, at its rising, adjourned to the 31st Octo-
ber, but appointed the 11 th to hear unopposed cases.

A keeper of a tap-room in Trongate, Glasgow, known
by the name of " Char lies Stable," has a dog of the Irish
bull-breed, called Princey, which is possessed of uncom-
mon sagacity. The animal has been so well trained
that it obeys its master in almost everything be orders,
and is as useful to him as a servant. It is nearly three
years since it began to carry his breakfast regularly
every morning from the Town-head, by means of a tin
can, the wire of which he holds suspended between his
teeth. When the family removed to Taylor-street, and
then toliotten-i ow-lane, the animal shifted his route from
the nig h tr eet, and now takes the nearest route, by
High John-street, to accomplish his errand. He has
never yet gone wrong in anything intrusted to him. It
would be attended with the greatest danger were any
person, even in diversion, to attempt to deprive him of
his load, as he would probably sooner be killed than
surrender. Nor will he accept the most favourable food
sk hen on business. Ile cautiously avoids any of his own
species when he is on business; but if he cannot avoid
it, be will disburden himself, give them battle, and then
resume his load. Though what he carries be often of
the most tempting description, the honest animal has
never been known to make free with the smallest quan-
tity, but faithfully deliver s the articles untouched. He
is frequently the bearer of letters between the family,
and will carry anything to the extent of half a stone.
He brings every week fi om the ma: ket four or six pounds
of beef, as occasion renoiies. IVlren he returns home
with his can, if the fa: 64 are nut in whose he taps at the
door, he returns back to his master, as he will enter no
reighbour's house, nor intrust them with his can. When
Ire is desired to go for Ili, master's hat or shoes, he will
immediately do it. Ile vPI take a snuff-box, or other
article, to such of the neighbours ashe knows, and are
'rained to him. He will take a bank-note to the tap-
room, and bring back change in silver. He understands
Gaelic as well as English, his master speaking and giv-
i..g him commands in both languages. He will take a
nian's hat off I,i, head on being told to do so. He is
txueothmonly docile and quiet, and will, at the com-
mar,d of the children, leap weer a stick four feet high,
or dance for their. amusement on his hind legs. The
ueople are higilly amused to tee him skipping along
with Iris daily load, n,rt he will lint stop to accept of any
" favours while he is on bu:inest.
