FUNIMAL OF MISS HERMANDINE BOTH.

Wednesday morning the remains of this hapless
young Lady were consigned to the burial ground of
All Saints. Poplar.. Though it was intended that the
funeral shoulJ be conducted with the greatest privacy,
and at the least expense, yet crowds of the sympathising
inhabitants of Poplar assembled in the Church-yard.
The corpse, which was conveyed in a hearse, decent,
but unostentatious, was followed by a mourning coach,
in which was Miss Adolphine Both. accompanied by
Mr. Ramsey, the parochial Churchwarden. On its
arrival at the north-west gate, adjoining to which the
grave had been dug, Miss Both, assisted by Mr.
Ramsey, left the coach, and proceeded to the Church,
in the aisle of which the corpse was placed on vessels.
To describe the feelings and agony of Adolphine would
be impossible.
The funeral •evince was performed in an impressive
and feeling manner by the officiating Clergyman, the
Rev. Dr. Hall, and at about ten minutes before eleven
o'clock she was interred. Miss Beth, the eldest sister,
from extreme debility. the consequence of the melan-
choly catastrophe from which she so fortunately escaped,
was unable to attend the interment of the deceased; but
so grateful did she feel for the kindness of Dr. Hall,
that in the evening she sent him a message, returning
him thanks, and expressing her regret that it was not
in her power to evince her and her sister's gratitude in
a more marked manner.

PLYMOUTH. JUNI 25.

Senores Plera.—Tois person, who has excited so
much speculation. made his appearance in our streets
on Monday, and attracted, as miyht have been an-
ticipated, an immense crowd of spectators. Among
the various conjectures afloat respecting this myste-
rious Piper, is one which supposes him to be no less
a personage than the Pope in disguise, come, no
doubt. to aid his friend Daniel the Prophet, in his
apostolic lama, s. Others, however, assert that he
is a common mendicant, from the truckle roan of
' Aberdeen awa'. Were this conjecture just, we should
have no objection to select those Scotch seminaries in
which such mendicants ate brouslit up, for the
education of our own children. - •We had a per-
sonal. interview with him, and were led to conclude
from his general information, and the urbanity of his
manners, that he has been accustomed to associate
with the better classes of society. He is a tall, well-
proportioned, and good-looking man, of needy six
feet in height, clad in hodden grey, with a Kilmarnock
cap on his head, and a black silk handkerchief rounds
hi, neck, and be wears green spectacles, for the purpose
either of protecting his eyes, or possibly of increasing his
disguise. The instrument upon which he plays is not the
common Scotch Bigpipe, but the Union Pipes, and his
performance is marked with taste and pathos. Whether
his enli amen' in the service of the ',joyous science" be the
resuk of whim or of wager, he has, ae are well assured,
during Iris peregrinations, made many handsame con-
tributions to charitable institutions. His travels termi-
nate in August. at Berwick-upon-Tweed, when he pro
mires to kfford complete satisfaction to the public re-
specting' himself, and the motives which lei to his
extraordinary undertaking. His collection at Plymouth
on Monday amounted to 18s. 6d. at Devonport, on
Tuesday, to 19s. 7id. and at Stonehouse, yesterday, to
11 Ss. 6d. The following account of the sums he has
received and expended in the course of his travels, up
to the present day may not prove uninteresting, espe-
cially as it may give some idea of the relative expense
f living in each of the three great divisions of the
British islands--
