His Hor

quently solemnised at Carlton-house on the 29th of Aug.,
in the same year, was a prince born at Berlin, May 25,
1817—the present King of Hanover—long remembered in
this country as Prince George of Cumberland, and en-
deared to the Court by his cheerful and frank manners.
The sfflictiou which has since fallen upon this prince has
brought out more prominently the amiability of his dispo-
sition. On the introduction of the Roman Catholic

Emancipation Bill, which occurred during his brief ab-
sence on the continent, he again journeyed to London to
oppose that measure. That opposition, however, proved
unavailing, and the bill became part and parcel of the law
of the land. The event induced him, without disguise,
to declare he would no longer have confidence in, or act
with the Dnke of Wellington ; and in conformity with
ments which dictated that declaration, he resigned

EXTRAORDINARY FUNERAL.—One day last week an
extraordinary funeral cortege was seen wending its way to
a district church near the city of Gloucester. A black-
smith going to the burial of his wife, was, with one friend
only, carrying the deceased woman on a bier. As they
progressed on their road, they are said to have upbraided
each other in terms not the most gentle for not bearing a
fair share of the burthen ; and occasionally they took a
rest by placing the bier in the road, and then sitting down
on the coffin ! We understand that the officiating clergy-
man remonstrated with the man for his unseemly conduct ;
and on his return home from the church he was mobbed
by a crowd of indignant women, who expressed loudly
their disgust at the behaviour of " the unfeeling brute."—
