Wednesday the body of thik unfortunate MR was
carried by his friends to the house of Mr. Brunge, the
sign of the Soldier Retired, in Rosemary lane, where
it was waked according to old Irish custom. It was
laid out in the large ball room on the first floor.--
The body was in a neat elm coffin, placed on a table
under a canopy of sheets, ornamented with cut pa-
per, bows of blue and white ribbon, flowers, and
bunches of evergreens ; the body was dressed in a
handsome shrowd, ornamented with flowers and ever-
greens, and in each hand an artificial nosegay ;—on
each side of his head and feet were two wax tapers.
The coffin plate bore the following inscription
if Mr. John Cashman died the 12th of March, 1817,
aged 28." The room was filled with persons of
every description : no smocking was allowed ; and,
according to Irish custom, when the deceased dies
without the means of decent burial, a collection was
made ; for this purpose a table was placed outside
the door on the ladding place, covered with a white
cloth, at which two men stood with plates in their
hands to receive the donations of those who chose to
go in to view the body. The number of persons
whom curiosity brought there were very conside.
rable ; amongst them were many respectable per-
sons of both sexes, who paid from '2d. to Is. 18d. or
a Ss. piece. There were benches all around the room
for the convenience of those who wished to stay, and
each night was passed in telling some stories or ex-
ploits of the deceased. At half past two o'clock yes-
terday every thing being arranged for the funeral by
the undertaker, they proceeded with the corpse in the
following order to Stepney church-yard s

Two Motes with white Staves and Hatbands.
A Bearer with Plume of White Peddlers.
THE BODY,

la a neat Elm Coin, with White Nails, and covered with a

Black Silk Pall.
Six Sailors, in Blue Jackets and 'frowsers-and Black
hatbands.
Twelve Mourners, in Black Cloaks and Hatbands.

The procession arrived at the church-yard about a
quarter past lour, and the body was immediately de-
posited in the grave. the funeral service being read by
the Rev. Mr. JAMES. Curate of Stepney. The cum-
ber of persons collected during the procession exceeds
all belief, and on its arrival at the church they timid
it already filled with people, desirous of witnessing
this last ceremony. They all, however, conducted
themselves with the greatest decorum. When the
ceremony finished, the mourners were conducted to a
public house in the neighbourhood, where they un-
robed themselves and dispersed in different ways ;
and the public house in Rosemary-lane continued shut
up the remainder of the day, by which means the
whole crowd was soon dispersed.

It has been stated that pay was due to Cashman
for different ships: but in this we believe there must
be some mistake. When a sailor is paid off from one
ship and turned over to another, the next ship ca z.
not proceed to sea until the Commissioner at the
Dock-yard has been satisfied that every man so situa-
ted has received all that was due to him, nor can a
man receive his final discharge, or the pendant of a
ship when put out of Commission be hauled down,
until every farthing is paid ; and a certificate to this
purpose must be laid before the Admiral Commander
in Chief, by the Captain, as also that every justice
has been done the men. There might, it is possible,
be prize-money due to Cashmar, but it is well known
that Government have nothing to do with the pay-
ment of prize-money. It often happens, however,
that poor ignorant sailors sell their share to Jews for
less than it is worth, and on finding that their com-
panions have received a larger dividend, imagine that
still a balance is due to them.

THAW*, POLICE OFFlClL—Captain Touissaint,
Commander of the East India Company's ship Corn-
wall, applied at this Office on Thursday, for an officer
to go on board that ship then at Gravesend, to take
into custody liezry Hadroot, one of the ship's com-
pany, who had been brought a prisoner from China,
on a charge of having thrown overboard and drowned
William Fitzpatrick, another of the crew. On Satur-
day he underwent an examination.—lt appeared, that

in October last, the prisoner, with James Stewart,
John Munro, William Guthrie, George Glanville,
James Brown, William Fitzpatrick, . and Edward
Lang, bad leave of absence to go from the ship, then
lying at Whampa Reach, in the jolly-boat to Can.
ton ; and; on returning to the ship, in the evening of
the 24th of October, after having proceeded a short
distance, it was agreed by all hands, that they should
splicethe main brace, or, in other words, have a glass
of grog ; after which, Brown said, that Fitzpatrick
did not poll his oar ; Glanville also said, that Fitz-
parick's oar had seldom touched the water since they
left Canton, The prisoner Hackroot then said, it
Fitzpatrick did not pull better that he would lay his
' oar in. Fitzpatrick replied, that he had pulled with
all his strength, and that he could net pull any
better, as a chest which was in the boat was in his
way. Glanville told Fitzpatrick, that if he would
take Ms oar, he would take Fitzeatick's, which he
agreed to. The prisoner said to I.itzpatrick—" You
rascal, it you don't pull Letter, I'll be cursed it I
don't throw you overboard." Fitzpatrick replied—
., That's more than you can do, thank GOD." The
'pri:oner said—,4 Is it, Ow ?" and darting from his
seat, he took hold of Fitzpatrick by the back part of
his trowsers, and threw him overboard. The priso-
4ter . exclaimed, as Fitzpatick was falling into the
water—,, There you are now." The boat's crew
endeavoured to save him, and frequently called his
name, but could neither see npr hear any thing of
him. The prisoner then rose up, and attempted to
throw himsclt overboard, and would have done so,
had nct Guthrie prevented him, and held him in the
'boat. This was late in the evening, and it was quite
dark. The body was found six or seven days after-
wards, and brought to the ship. The prisoner was
put in confiaement, and has been a prisoner chitin
the passage home. He was remanded.
QUaiN4QUAnl.—Saturday Williams Hawkins was
charged with hawking and selling Cobbett's Register,
without having a Hawker's Licence. He admitted
that he had sold it, but he pleaded poverty, and being
out of work. The Solicitor to the Hawkers' OiSce
submitted the defendant must be convicted in the
penalty. The Sitting Magistrate, observed, that the
defeedant was a poor man, who honestly sought a
livelihood, but the Act of arliament was imperitive,
and, however painiul it might be to him, he was,

bdWtd to pot it in force. therefore the &Makin must
stand convicted in the penalty of £. O, (but he could
appeal to the Sessions if he chose: or in default of
payment be committed to the House of Correction
for three months. The defendant havin4 neither
friends nor money, was committed to prison.
