Cross-examined.—The Alert struck the Favourite ;
on the larboard side. He heard no singing out on
the part of the Alert. He was a-stern of two colliers,
and nearly aside the second of them.
Re-examined.—He might have gone under our
I stern as well as others.
Joseph Gray, Master of the Mary and Ann, ofl
Doncaster, was near with his vessel when the acci-
dent happened. He heard the Favourite hail the
Alert more than once. The Alert must also have
heard, having been nearer and to leeward. The Pa.
vourite could not get to leeward of the Alert, and
heaved herself up in the wind. The Alert might
have taken either side, or backed her topsails. It
might be done in one minute, if the man at the helm
was minded to do it. The Alert ran into the Fa-
vourite's midships.
Robert Ordsley, Master of the sloop Elizabeth, was
a-head of the two colliers. In his opinion the Alert
was in fault.
Joseph Martin, Master and Owner of the Hopewell,
thought the accident was owing to the Alert's neglect.

LoRD ELLeraeonoUGH'S FUNERAL.—Yesterday the
remains of his Lordship were removed from his resi-
dence in St. James's-square, for interment at the
Charter Home. The procession consisted of ten men
on horseback, four on foot carrying plumes of fea-
thers before the hearse, drawn by six horses, six
mourning coaches drawn by six horses each, and 20
Noblemen and Gentlemen's carriages, amongst which
were his Lordship's carriage, followed by the Bishop
of CHESTER'S, the Marquis CAMDEN'S, Lord SID-
MOUTH'S, the Hon. Mr. LAW'S, the two Chief Justices,
and the other Judges of the Courts of King's Bench
and Common Pleas, and other of his Lordship's
friends. The procession passed along Pall-Mall, the
Strand, Fleet street, Ludgate-hill, and arrived at the
Charter House soon after nine o'clock. The corpse
was takerminto the Chapel, and the funeral ceremony
was performed by the Rev. Dr. FISHER. Nearly the
whole of the time a solemn dirge was played. The 1,
coffin was covered with superb crimson velvet, and
his Lordship is interred in the same vault as Mr. SLT-
TON, the founder of the Charter House.
MONUMENT TO THE LATE LORD MELVILLE.—The
Public having taken more than an ordinary degree
of interest in • the Monument to be erected Ly the
Naval and Marine Services to the memory ofkhe late
Lord Viscount MELVILLE, it will, perhaps, be grati-
fying to them to learn, that the Committee have re-
solved to adopt the much-admired and justly-cele-
brated Pillar of Trojan, one of the most approved
'relics of antiquity, or a Pillar modelled upon it, and
oe surmount it with a Colossal Statue of the late Lord
MELVILLE. St. Andrew's-square, Edinburgh, hav-
ing been suggested as an eligible and appropriate site
fOr some mach chaste and simple structure, application
is, we understand, about to be made to the Proprie-
tors for permission tq rear this Pillar in the centre of
that elegant square, to which, as well as to the Scot-
tish Metropolis in general, it cannot fail to prove
highly ornamental.
