FUNERAL OF SMITLIERS.

Yesterday afternoon, at four o'clock, the remains
of the unfortunate Smithers were removed from his
lodgings in Carteret-street, in the Broadway, West-
minster, and but ied in the Church yard of St. Mar-
garet's, Westminster, amidst a great concourse of
sympathising spectators. It was too trying a task
for his widow to undertake to follow him to the
grave, and she was prevailed on not to attempt it.—
The deceasrd's father and brothers followed as prin-
cipal mourners. They were succeeded by some pri-
vate friends, and a numerous assemblage of Officers
and otheri belonging to Bow-street Office ; Mr. John

•

Lavender, belonging to Queen-square Police Office,.
to which the deceased formerly belonged ; Mr. Arm-
strong and his son, both Officers belonging to the Po-
lice Office in Worship-street ; making, in the whole,
cixty-seven persons, thus showing the last mark of re-
spect to a departed, active, and worthy Officer, who
had fallen a sacrifice in the cause of his country, by •
the hands of a ferocious assassin. _ _ _

The procession passed through thef•llowing streets;
the windows of each howe were filled with specta-
tors of both sexes :—Tothill-street, Dartmouth-street,
Great and Little Queen-streets, Great George-street,
and through the grand opening leading to St. Mar-
garet's Church. The rush from the crowd to gain
admission into the latter place was astonishing; but
no accident occurred. The service was performed
1-v the Rev. Mr. RoDEER ; and on Mr. Lavender,
jun. witzessing the aged father of Smithers leaving.
the Church, who was almost overcome by his Feel-
ings, the above Officer was so much affected as to
shed tears. The Church-yard was filled with an im-
mense crowd of persGris of all descriptions, among
which were nntnerOtts soldiers belonging to the'
:;:cards. A general regret and pity seemed to per,
vade the whole of this vast assemblage at the melan-
choly fate of this most intrepid Officer The proces-
sion then returned through Tothill-street to Carteret•
street, when the Officers returned to the undertaker's,
The whole of this funeral was conducted in the mcst,
decorous manner ; and several Magistrates were
amongst the spectators.

The Cato-street conspirators, who were yesterday
taken by mistake to the Grace of the Secretary of
the Home Department, to be examined, were again
conducted there this morning, at half-past ten, and;
are now under examination before the Privy Council..
They were conveyed in four hackney-coaches, eacls
of which was guarded by eight horsemen of the
Guards, two in front, one at each side, and four be.
hind. They went at a quick rate, and did not at--
tract any remat kable assemblage of persons.
Mrs. Thistlewood made application yesterday at.
Lord SIDMOUTII'S Office, for leave to visit her hus-
band. She was desired to call again to-day, which
she did, when leave was given, on condition that the •
visit should be in the presence of an Officer.

We are sorry to learn by our advices this morning,
that the storm which raged with such violence yes-
terday morning in the Metropolis, was felt with
nearly equal severity over the whole country, to the
distance of between sixty and seventy miles, particu-
larly towards the West and North-west. In Bucks,
Oxfordshire, and Ilampshire, the wind has commit-
ted great havoc among the farm-yards, and young
plantations ; some houses have been unroofed and
many cottages blown down. In the New Forest, some
of its stateliest and most valuable ornaments have
been torn up by the roots, and branches innumerable
lie wrenched from their parent stems. Along the
coast, the casualties, as we anticipated, have been nu-
merous. For particulars we refer our Readers to our
Nautical Intelligence.
