livered to the P f that ship.
We notice with extreme regret; that our Worthy Re-
presentative, Lord Belgrave, underwent a surgicil
operation last week, winch will, we trust, for a short
time only, prevent his attendance in the Sedate.—(Cherfir
Chronick.)
We are truly sorry to state, that the celebrated Incic-
don, in consequence of having a few days since, caught
violent cold, which has settled on his liings, lies danger-
ously ill, at his house, in Prospect Place, in this towii.
We are in fact, illssured, that his medical attendants
en-
tertain but little hope of his recovery.—(Brighton Ild-
raid.)
Korai Tanamtv.—The report of the ComMittee, to whom
were referred the Papers relating to the Library which
Majesty has presented to the British Nation, has been print-
ed for the Members of the House of Commons. It recom-
mends, that the Royal Library should be added to that in
the British Museum, and a proper building erected for its
reception in the grounds belonging to that establishment.—
Upon a rough guess, the Committee suppose that not more
than 11,000 duplicate volumes wiU be found in the two coi-
-1 etions, and that of these it will not be adviseabie to pint
with more than 12,000; as it will be desirable to keep two
espies of many books. The number of books in the Brit-
, tab Museum is, about l'ib,ooo, and In the Royal Library,
about 66,000.
1 FUNERAL Or SIR CHARLES BAMPYYLDE, BAHT.—•—••
• Yesterday morning, at eight o'clock, the remains of the
• above gentleman were removed from his late residence
' in Montagne•square, for interment at Hardington, in
Somereetshire. The procession consisted of several at-
' tendauts on horseback; a hearse, drawn by six black
horses, carrying the body ; tom mourning coaches an l
four, containing the relations and intimate friends of the
I deceased. Upwards of twenty gentlemen's carriages
followed. The procession proceeded at a slow pace alo-
/ the Western-road. A crowd of spectators were as-
; semhled.

Sir Charles was descended from one of the oldest and
most distinguished families in Devonshire. He was Ott
twenty-second Baronet in lineal descent from the reign
of Charles 1., and his ancestors are known to have been
Lords Poltimore, near Exeter, as early as 1272. Sir
Charles was born January 23, 1753. In 1776, he mar-
ried Catherine, eldest daughter of Sir John Moore, Liao.
K.B. Rear Admiral of the Red ; and by this Lady, who
survives him, he had an only son, Geo, Warwick 'Damp-
fylde, the present Baronet, who now inherits the title
and the estates of Poltimore and North Molton, in De-
vonshire, and of Hardington Park, in Somersetshire.—
Sir Charles retired from Parliament in Iso9. Ills re-
mains having left his house in Montague-square, will be
interred on Tuesday next, at Hsrdington.
ADSIIHALTT Sesstows.—The trial of the seamen for
firing on his Majesty's cruiser, the Badger, recommenced
this morning. The examination of witnesses in their
behalf was proceeding, when our paper went to press.
The chief object in their defence is to spew that the*
were natives of Flushing. The trial is not expected
to close till a late hoar in the evening.. •
A man suspected of the murder of Mrs. Donatty, is stated
to have arrived in one of the lndiamen. We suppose that
this is the man who was said, some weeks ago, to have con-
fessed himself guilty of the murder.
We are desirous to inform our respectable readers, of the
handsome advantage allowed on Superior Fine Teas, (for
cash) one ounce in taking a single pound, and one pound al-
lowed in every twelve pounds; and any respectable family
writing for twelve pounds and upwards, is sent flee of ex-
pense to any part of the kingdom, from Messrs WARMOLL
& Co.'s Norfolk and Suffolk Tea Warehouse, 23, Little Bell
Alley, at the hack of the Bank of England, London. AU
orders must be accompanied with a remittance or an order
for payment in London, when the change (if any) will be in-
closed in the parcel. We can assure our friends that CI
Teas sold at this Establishment are of the choicest kinds,
warranted genuine, being selected cod tasted by the most
eminent Tea Brokers, and packed as they came frurn
Chins, to preserve their superior strength and flavour.
Warehouse at 23, Little Hell Alley, in the City of London.
