JAMES Brix-nen's FUNERAL.--The remains of
JAMES BELCHER were removed yesterday from his
late house, the Coach and Horses, in Frith-street,
Soho, to St. Mary la-Bonne Burying Ground, for in-
terment. This funeral excited great expectation,
and in the course of the forenoon brought to the spot
a p,re it concourse of professors and amateurs of the
art in which the deceased was so distinguished a hero.
—At half-past three, the hearse drove up to the door,
and a black coffin, six feet four WAS brought out; as
it was put into the hearse, upwards of two hundred
hats were perceived lifted up in the air, and the
rebounding voice proceeding from the uncovered
multitude was, " Here goer the (:iampion of Englimk"
The procession moved in the following order :
Two Mutes —The Plume.
The Hearse, drawn by four horses, decorated with plumes and
black velvet trimmings.—Three Mourning Coaches anti Pair.
In the first were the deceased's wife, and Thomas
Belcher, his brother ; in the second, were Gregson,
Gully, and Richmond the black ; in the third coach
were Jackson and Powers. The procession was fol
lowed by a glass coach, in which was Bill Wood, well
known in the pugilistic circles, accompanied by seve-
ral amateur friends. They moved iit a solemn manner
froM Frith-sueet through Soho-soil:lre, down Charles-
street into Oxford-street. Here the concourse of people
assembled on the occasion was so great, it completely
obstructed and interrupted the procession. On the ar-
rival of the body at the ground, a great confusion en-
sued from the number of spectators; many lost their
shoes and their hats. After the body had been low-
ered, and the funeral rites had been performed, Bill
Wood leaped upon the coffin, and appeared almost
in a state of frenzy. He wept profusely, as did many
other professional friends, who had followed the pu-
gilistic hero to the grave.
Ltricotn A:stns.—Robinson v. the Duke of Rut-
land. This was an action of trespass, alledged to be
committed by the Noble Defendant's hunting over
the lands of the plaintiff. It was in the spirit of a re-
cent decision in Essex, which, if pursued, would go
to the length of utterly prevent fox-hunting in Eng-
land. Verdict for the Plaintiff, damages Is. In five
other actions of the like nature, in which Sir William
Manners and his tenants were the Plaintiffs, verdicts
were obtained, and damages in each assessed at Is.
Mom PAlLSoN.—Saturday the following additional
charges have been made against this man at Bow-
street :—T. Edbrnok, of the Quebec public-house, in
Oxford-street, said, that about a fortnight ago, the
prisoner came to his house, and had some wine, w hich
he said was very good, and ordered some to be sent
to-his lodgings, in Green-street. He entered into con-
versation with the landlord for a considerable time,
and in giving an account of himself, sail, he was
Curate of Payk-Street Chapel, till his father, who was
Mayor of Wellington, could procure him a living.—
'Before he left the Noose, he borrowed .ss. 6d. of the
landlord, saying, he had come out without any silver,
and would vett= it when he sent the money hohie
for the wine, hist which has not been done. B. Ted-
der, Clerk of Park-street Chapel, said, the prisoner
preached there oneafternoon lately, and administered
the sacrament. It was upon his own application he
was permitted to do it. Yesterday fortnight he read
prayers at the Church of St. Martin's in the Fields.
Mr. Cousens, of the King's Arms, Oxford-street,
said, he recollected the' prisoner coming to his house
with Mr. Channon, and two horses. The prisoner
called again a short time after, and introduced him-
self as a Clergyman doing duty at Park-street Cha-
pel. He lived at his house a short time, and run up
a bill to the amount of several pounds. No money
being forthcoming, he had some conversation with
Mr. 'redden, who expressed a very good opinion of
him. Mr. Onions expressed his suspicions that he
was not the man he represented himself to be, and
even doubted his being a Clergyman, from the ap-
pearance of his hands, and other suspicious circum—
stances. Mr. Tedder, however, said, he had no doubt
of his being a Clergymin, having officiated at other
places. Mr. C')usens wen asked Mr. Tedder if he
Would be answerable.for his bill? to which he agreed.
When the prisoner went away from his house, he left
behind him several manuscript sermons, a black case
he used to read them from, and a Clergyman's band.
/ He is committed for further examination to Clerken-
-1 well Bridewcll.
E. Ivan: was charged with stealing a promissory
note for aC9. Bs. 3d. It appeared the note was pre-
sented to him for payment on Friday, when he tore
it to atoms. In defence, he said that lie was enra-
ged that one of the first holders had paid it away,
she having a demand against him, which he meant
to claim as a set-off. The prisoner, however, on en•
gaging to pay the demand and expences, was dis-
charged.
Henry -- was committed for re-examination,
charged with stealing an umbrella from the open car-
riage of Lord LeDeSpencer while standing opposite a
pastrycook's shop in the Strand on Friday evening.
Saturday J. Milli was fully committed. from Hat-
ton-garden Office, charged with picking the pocket
of W. Blackburn, on the preceding Saturday, at
West End fair, of two dollars and two shillings.
Tuesday night an affray took place at Norwich be-
tween a soldier and a waterman, at the Duke of York
public.house, when the soldier stabbed the waterman
in two places. The offender was taken to the guard.
house ; from whence, however, he escaped ; but was
retaken the out day.
