BURGLARY.—On Saturday morning last, about one
o'clock, police-constable 14 was on duty in the Park,
when he saw three men coming from a passage leading to
the back of the house and shop of a baker living in Bed-
ford-street. On being spoken to by the officer, they
made off, followed by the officer, who succeeded in appre-
hending one of them, named Burns, who was brought
before the magistrates, yesterday, and committed for trial
at the assizes. On going to the house, it was found
that the cellar window had been taken out, and a quantity
of child's wearing apparel taken from the kitchen, which
were found concealed in the privy. The thieves had
opened the kitchen door, and made their exit by that
means.

prizes are to be awarded this morning (Tuesday) to the
successful competitors in classics, mathematics, science,
and commerce.

ZDOILGGICAL GARDENS.—The unpropitious weather of
the past week in some degree diminished the audiences
usually present at this season of the year ; but, yesterday,
the company was most numerous. The fireworks are
pronounced to exceed, not only in brilliawy and variety,
but in mechanical arrangement, all that have hitherto
been produced. In fact, every department seems to have
been im?roved,

OUTRAGE AT A FUNERAL.-011 Sunday last, between
three and four o'clock, as the remains of Mr. Richard
Martin, Woolfe-street, Toxteth-park, were being con-
veyed to their last resting place in the ground attached to
Stanhope-street chapel, several members of Orange
lodges, anxious to pay their respect to the memory of a
deceased brother, proceeded to his residence, and joined
the procession. The only distinctive mark, and which
was construed into an offence, was that their mourning
scarfs were tied at the shoulder with orange ribbon.
After the interment, it was rumoured that the house
of the deceased, as also the mourning coach in which
was the widow, were threatened with violence. To
guard against the possibility of such an occurrence, the
orangemen determined to return to the house of mourning
and afford protection. With this view, when they reached
Albert-street, they were assailed with stones and other
missiles ; but owing to the interference of the police,
order was restored. Shortly afterwards, however, as the
orangemen were about to return to their respective homes,
they were again attacked, and many persons, fearful of
\nsequences, formed an escort,, and shielded
`he demoniac feeling which seemed to pervade
