Chamber, at the Ha

course of preparation for the reception of the body on the
night before the funeral. It has been stated that the pro-
cession on the following morning will move from this
point. There appears, however, to be some doubt about
this ; but, under present arrangements, the body of the
Duke will be removed from Chelsea College to the Horse
Guards on the evening previous to the funeral. The mili-
tary allowed to take part in the procession will assemble
on the parade-ground at any early hour, and here also the
Foreign Ministers, Peers, and members of the House of
Commons, &c., invited to take part will be marshalled.
The body will be conv.wed on a funereal car, executed
after a very elaborate and beautiful design. It is further
announced that the funeral procession of the late Duke
will be marshalled on the parade-ground at the back of the
Horse Guards, and thence pass along the Mall in St.
James's-park, up Constitution-hill, and along Piccadilly,
St. James's-street, Pall-mall, and the Strand to St. Paul's.
This alteration has been made out of deference to the ex-
pressed desire of the householders along the line of route.

PRACTICAL HINT.—At the Hull town council meeting
on Thursday, the members became excessively wearied by
the interminable oratory of one of their members. All
polite means were in vain tried—except the parliamentary
"imitation of a farm yard"—to arrest the flow of the
hon. gentleman's eloquence, and the most original of
these was the essay of some practical joker, who managed
to introduce a parcel containing a dozen night-caps, which
were handed about from one to the other as if in cour-
teous solicitation—a performance productive of infinite
delight to the spectators in the gallery, and convulsing
everybody•with laughter but the speaker, who proceeded
gravely with his story as if he really desired that these
articles of clothing should be put to their proper use on the
spot.— [Hull is not the only place in England where night-
caps ought to be provided.]

AN ARISTOCRATIC OFFENDER.-Sir James Francis
Rivers, baronet, was charged before the Mayor of Bath,
on Tuesday, for having assaulted Isaac Crew, a railway
porter, and Samuel Haines, a railway policeman, the lat-
ter of whom appeared with his hand bound up. It ap-
peared that, on Saturday evening, Sir James drove up to
the railway station in a dog cart, and persisted in occupy-
ing a position which impeded the omnibuses awaiting an

arrival. On the porter, Crew, remonstrating, be was
struck on the hand by the whip of the baronet, who sub-
sequently violently thrashed the policeman with the lash,
tnd struck him on the stomach with his fist. Sir James,

tor tne nrst onence, was fined 50s. and costs, cr in c
to he committed for one month ; and for the second
sault, which was more serious, the full penalty of £5 ant
costs, or in default to be committed for two months. His
worship also said he must warn him, that, if he went on
committhrg assaults of this kind, he would be liable to be
indicted at the sessions, and committed for two years'
