FUNERAL OF SIR bILLIIILT EAST, BART,

The procession that accompanied the remains of this
Nobleman to the vault, as respects ostentatton and
grc.deur, has perhaps never been exceeded. The fa-
mily vault is in the chancel of Witham charch, where
the grandfather of Sir Gilbert, " William East, of the
Middle Temple," was interred in the year 1 is 6. The

monument ii opt white marble, and bears a Latin in

stription, de:cribing his family connections. Sir. Gil
bett's lather was also buried there about eight years
ago. Sir Gilbert was :essee of the tithe of V'ttham, held
of tie B shop of London.
The procession left Hall Place, Maidenhead, the seat
of the deceased, on Friday last, and arrived at, she
White Hart Inn, Brenta ood, the same evening. where
it rested. and moved sof:Wendy early the following
morning to teach the Black Boy Inn, Chelmsford, by
ven, when the body was again removed from the
hearse, and depes;ted in a room for several hours,
whilst those who accompanied it, and the horses, were
refreshed. After which, the solemn train moved on
towards Witham. About half a mile from its place 01.
destination this grand spectacle was much increased.
The procession, which was splendid, closed with
about tweaty-four carriages of the neighbouring Gen-
try, whose respect for the deceased and his connections
was so general, that offers amounting to almost the,
same number were politely declined.
Sir Gilbert has left a widow, but no children.
The chief mourners consisted of three nephews of the
deceased, Mr. East Clayton. Colonel Clayton, and Mr.
Augustus Cial-ton ; S r Wm. Joliffe. Mr. Jolitf., Mr.
G•lbest Joliffe, Mr. Burners, and othea. NOM dbtaut
branches r f the faintly, were present.

Curiosity was much excited yesterday in the Hay-
market by the extraordinary length of six beams, which
are to extend horn waa to wall over the stage of the
King's Taeatre: they are composed of several pieces of
wood firmly dovetailed andscreied together, and mea-
sure respectively 89 feet six inches. Some dexteril
was requited in introducing them into the stage door,
as v.ey were very flexible and extended across the
whole of this spacious street. We understind they
were put together at a timber yield in Vauxhall.
Black game on the heath, in the vicinity of Bagshot
Park and the .Military College, is much destroyed, to
the great regret of many Gentlemen in the neighbour.
hood, who have attempted to increase the breed. it is
not perhaps generally known, that by the 13 h George
111. e. E 5, persons are prohibited from killing, or having
in use or posses ion, any heath fowl, .commonly called
black game. betsvr.en the I)th of December and the
20. h of August, under a penalty of 201. far the first
offence, and for the second and every subsequent offence

recovered. by information before one Justice.
WaYIIOIITH. Dec. 24.—The violence of the late
Salmon this coast has been great, and the vast rolling
singes of the West Bay have developed several hidden
trusures on Chesil Beach ; numerous pieces of silver
and gold have been found, which, together with bars
01 bullion, have richly reimbursed the hariy islander
in his search after wealth. The Hope, of Amsterdam,
was wrecked on this coastJautrary 16,1748, laden with
a rich booty of 50.0001. which, wits a quantity of bul-
lion. was ingulfed in this dread abyss, and each re-
v olving year brings to light some of her burden. This
year a considerable number of dollars of Philiip, sth
King of Castile and Leon, have been found; all of them
bear evident t"kens of the violence of the gale; al.o
some guineas of George 111. quite fresh from the ,Mint,
and a gold warch-chain, apparently Spanish. Two in-
dividuals were enabled to scrape together several band-
fulls of gold coin, but before they could escape with
their Fuze, one swelling billow rolled tumultuously
"ward, and at one vast swoop dashed the cop of
weakh from their grasp. Tons of grits's( cover the spot.
and there it will lie till atao:ber whirlwihd removes the
Pandesons load. The West Bay;artfreor fund of view,
ing the strife of Nature, affords eriirsif beautiful but
axial spectacle of the power el has wbo lides the
tftiud and guides,* atom.
