►UNERAL o► SMITHERS.

Yesterday afternoon, at four o'clock, the remains of
the unfortunate Smithers were removed from his lodg-
ings in Carteret-street, in the Broadway, Westminster,
and buried in time church-yard of St. Margaret's,Westnii si-
ster, amidst a gnat concourse of sympathizing spectators.
It was too tryin,t a task fur his widow to undertake to
follow him to the grave, and she was prevailed on not
to attempt it. The deceased's father and brothers fol-
lowed as principal mourners. They were succeeded by
some private friends, and a numerous assemblage of
officers and others belonging to Ilow-street-office ; Mr.
John Lavender, belonging to Queen square Police-of-
fice, to which the deceased formerly belonged ; Mr.
Armstrong and leis son, both officers belonging to the
Police-office in Worship-street; making in the whole 67
persona.
The procession passed through the following streets;
the windows of each house were filled with spectators of
both sexes :—Tuthill-street, Dartmouth-street, Great and
Little Quern-streets, Great George-street, and through
the grand opening leading to St. Margaret's Church.
The rush front the crowd to gain admittance into the
latter place was astonishing ; but no accident occurred.
The service was performed by the Rev. Mr. Rodber; and
on Mr. Lavender, jun. witnessing the aged father of
Sibithers leaving the church, who was almost overcome
by his feelings, The above officer was so much affected
as to shed tears. The church-yard was filled with an im-
mense crowd of persons of all arscriptions, among whom
were numerous soldiers belonging to the Guards.
The procession then returned through Tothill-street
to Carteret-street, when time officers returned to the un-
dertaker's. The wlwle of this funeral was conducted in
the must decorous milliner ; and several Magistrates
were amongst the spectators.

A wolf which, we understand, was some time since
sent by her Royal Highness the Duchess of York to the
Menagerie at Exeter Change, and was, ou account of
illness, confined in the hospital of the establishment,
contrived by some means yesterday morning to escape
from his confinement, and with a long chain fastened to
his neck by a collar, succeeded in mounting on the roof
of his prison. The wolf, finding himself at liberty,
passed along the roofs of two houses, and through an
open sky-light entered the house of Mr. Day, trunk-
maker. In the room where he entered were several
men at work, who, surprised and terrified at a visit so
unceremonious, fled rapidly and closed the door of the
apartment. The unfortunate animal then pushed his
way through a window of the fourth door, and lodged
himself upon Mr. L'ay's sign-board, which is on a level
with the window-sill. There, observing an open
' window on the fourth floor of the adjoining house, he
made a spring to reach it, but his chain had, in some
manner, become entangled, and the poor animal failing
in his object, fell with violence into the street. The
blood flowed from his month, Sind after a few gasps the
poor wolf expired.

MS BRUNSWICK KNIGHPS OF NORKWIL

Among the bodies of men who have thrusted them-
selves forward with loyal Addresses, we have not ob..
served " The Itrunswiek Knights of Norwirb •' As
some of our Readers may probably never have hear.) of
this insignificant Order, we will give its history. Abont
four years since, several men, who were, and probably
are yet, satisfied with the existing order of things, assem-
bled at a Trvern in the City of Norwich ; and, (in their
cup's we suppose) called themselves " K nights ;" by the
title of " Knights of the lfinnswick Club." Some idea
may be formed of the importance of the Members when
we state she fart, that the President was an Apothe-
cary. The selfwreated Knights then gave themselves a
number of ridiculous airs ; and forwarded to Lord Sid-
mouth an areount of what they had done: see pulled
by a natokroni cod very silly sleclara'ion of their senti-
ments ; abusing hlattemus iota Ttaitor, anti preaching op
the Doctrine of Itisine right soul passive obedience.—
Poor Lord Sidmouth was crnrlly annoyed at the Loyalty
co' these conceited meddlers.. lie knew vt ry well that the
sirunswicits acquired and ref-tined the English Crown
upon the maxim of a people's right to dethrone a tt -
rant Kin.;:. Ile knew aiso, that the English People
hail exercised that right upon the Son of him, against
whom the immortal Hampden haul d rssen his sword : and
yet Lord Sidenouth knew equally well, that it would nut
Le politic to desire these miserable creatures to refer
to an English Ifistory, and get a Schoolmaster to ex-
plain it to thew. His Lordship therefore sent an equi-
vocal answer. applauding their sootier* upon *hi' h
these loyal and sapient Knights roomed him their " re-
spectful thanks ;" amid the Resolution conveving the• e
thanks, we were gravely assured, uat actually signed
by all the Knights, from whirls we infer that they 113•1
profited by the Sundae Arademirs, and had learn, I to
write their names. he Knights were, notwithstandillZ
all this, most severely lashed by the political writers of
the day, and, we believe, with perfect impunity; for oe
never heard of any dreadfull effects from the reselitment
of these slonglity Chevaliers. We suppose that, at all
events, these writers were too wary to take any of the
President's Drugs; suspecting that his medical was hot
eu-extensive with his political knowledge. What has
heroine of the order we know not ; but if it exists, e
recommend its Members to carry up a loyal .Vidress ; not
forgetting, to declare their high disapprobation of the
C hurt of the quern, in hating presumed, will t
thority, to institute an order of Knighthood. —(Coosli-

METEOROLOGY.

The frost which suddenly came on the I.l!ter end of
last week, an suddenly gave way to the mildness that 11;:s
prevailed throughout the season. The retirement of
the frost was distinguished on Sunday last, by an oc-
curretire similar toe hat had indicated its approach—a
very dense and offensive fog. On the approach of the
frost, the atmosphere overcharged a ith vaposir, had bee!'
first affected by cold, so that the smoke of the metropolis
was deprived of its caloric soon after its rising, soft
forced by its specific gravity to Boat near the surface of
the earth ; and on the retirement of the frost, the atmo-
sphere appears not to have acquired warmth till after the
earth, and of consequence again exhibited the same ph--
nuteetion. The mildness that has generally prey:ivied
this season has given birth, in different parts of the
country ru several productions of the spring ; and the
shortest day this year los been remarkable, as one of tits
most pleasant of the winter, and as tivallingenany of his
autumn.

Nu other phenomena have bera lately noticed here I
but at Naples on the 2:411 of November, al t seven
o'clock in the evening. there appeared a luminous tmleor
of a very brilliant splendor. It might have been mi.,.
taken for a fire work. The body from which the light
emanated, and was, apparently, about the 'it' of the
sun's Oise. and which appeared in the west, vanished, in
falling towards the east.

44111 RICAN PAPERS.

The New York paper,. lately received contain the
prt•ceedings of Congress to the 26th ult. A Resolu-
tion has been submitted to the House of Representatives
for reducing the compensation to Members of Congress,
and Officers under Ouvernment, and snottier for re-
f:ll6n" the military peace establishment. To the fur-.
Eier of three it was tibjected that it did not go far
enough—that it should be more general and compre-
hensive. It was accordingly ordered to :ie on the table
for further consideration and receiving amendments.
The layer, which is in unison with a Resolution of the
Senate in the last Session, was carried without division
or debate. A Resolution had been carried for ob-
taiuin4 information trim the Executive, respecting
the progress made by the British and American Cum-
trissiotters, in settling the boundary line between the
rnited States and Canada, and the expenees incurred.
It is reported that a disagreement has taken place be-
tween the Commissioners as to certain points of the
line, and that the umpirage of a third party mutt he
resorted to. The Committee of Commerce has been in-
structed to inquire into the expediency of admitting Bri-
fish vessels arriving from the Capeoftlood Hope and the
M ouritius, into the ports of theUnitedStates,on the sane
conditions as if they had sailed from a port in Brest
Britain, so long as those ports are open to the vessels
of the United States, on the sante terms and conditions
as to British vessels. The Committee of Ways and
Means bad reported, that it was inexpedient to grant
the prayer of a Memorial front the inhabitants of Salem,
for exempting from duty all imported books in the
learned and foreign languages, and all works of science
in the English language, not re-printed in the United
S ates within one year from the period of their original
publication. The Senate had passed a resolution for
admitting the Missouri territory into the Union as a
t!istinct State. The accounts in these Journals from
ruenos Ayres and Chili are not so recent as those pee-
s iotudy received ; and from the Si anish Main they pre-
*. nt us only with a repetition of the reports which
lave already reached us of the re-occupation of Santa
re by the Royalists, anti of Bolivar having beer. in-
dared, by a series of reverses, to open a negociation
with Morillo. Boys.' with his army, consisting of
20,000 men, enteled the Cape on the day after this
Proclamation amid general rejoicing.

SOUTH AMERICA.

TATE OF THE INDEPENDENT ARMY IN

(EXTRACT OP A PRIVATR LETTFR.)

Under the date of the 19th of June, I wrote you,'
and communicated to yon all the news of an authentic
nature that we had received at that period, from the'
Maine.

Since then, I have received an interesting letter from
an intelligent friend of mine at Angostura. ,The fol-
lowing are extracts from it, and may be relied upon,
ag correct ; it is dated as late as the Ist to the 7th of
June:

Having horn confined with a severe illness of four
months, and a convalescent, I went for the recovery
of my health, and travelled over the province of (Ina).-
ana, and saw the whole of the hlissions of the Caroni,
and prepared a correct Map and observations of that
country ; and the communications there are with the
British settlements in the Eseituilm.
1 retnrned to Angostura three weeks ago, and am
going to New Orenada with (;en. Sucre and seri ral
other officers, from whence I will give you all the
news when opportunity offers. We have nothing new
from the armies, which are -as follows :—Thr Presi-
olent's, in ('ata ; Oen. Urdaneta's, in St. Christohal ;
Paes's, at San Fernando and vicinity ; Bermudez's,
in St. Clara, (Barcelona); Monies, nith 500 men,
near Comma.

A Ben. Power, and 170 Iri•hmrn, part of the Irish
Legion, arrived three weeks ago, :;1141 go op to the
army of Pile: immediately. (01. Illo•set commands
the British Legion, and the rifles, at the Apure : they
have still about 3110 British troops there, and about
160 with the President's army : being all that remain
out of about 6000 that have arrived in this country.
The next campaign will be a settler, and I tract'
will be a successful one to *is: ae have plenty of,
men, and at present, I am happy to say, they are well
armed, which I could not have said two months bask.
I don't know my ultimate destination till I see the
President at Ctscutta, as he has sent for me ; hnt I
soppaie it will be either with his army, or Cr-
daneta's,

You will see a work of mine on this country, soon,
froth England. I have tried to do justice to those
whom Col. Hippesley attacks, and to give a true ac-
count of the state of the country I have seen. louse
of the Creoles will be displeased with my description
of their customs, but I defy the world to refute a syl-
lable I have written.

LOYAL DECLAR.I77ON
—now—
The mode of manufacturing ultra-loyal declara-
tions seems much the !1:111.r in every part of the United
Kingdom. As a specimen cf what is doing in this
way in Ireland, we have the following frout the Ccok
Southern Reporter :
" A LOYAL DECLARATION.
Cork, Dee. 14.

The public of this city were given to understand
that there was what is called a " a Loyal Der'ars-
tion," lying for signatures at the Mansion-House for
some time past. Numbers, we understand, repaired
there for the purpose of affixing their names to it, if it
were really what its promoters alleged it was ; but, on
perusing it, immediately withdrew in disgust, there
bring no one ingredient or expression of loyalty in it
from beginning to end. This precious document has
been published, and is as lollop. s :
" We, the ttilerNigned, having seen with surprise
and indignation, an Address to the Queen, purporting
to be from the inhabitants of the City of Cork, as-
sembled at a Tavern therein, take this opportunity of
disavowing any participation in the sentiment which
that doeument contains ; and we are the more desirous
to do so, from the conviction we entertain that the
feelings "f the great holy of the loyal and respectable
citizens of Cork, as well as of this part of the United
Kingdom, are decidedly hostile thereto."
To this paperfrrer Istindredand broke names ap-
peared affixed. (The population of the city is esti-
mated at 1211,1)011). We have been requested to pub-
lisp the list, hot having been at the same time in-
formed that there was no fond to defray the expense
of insertion, we begged to decline, as it is not we,
surely, who ought to pay for registering the opinions,
or 'stetting the leyuft4! of the Pour Modred and
'twelve signers of this "Loyal Declaration " Charit-
able advertisements are occasionally exempted fr.im
Stamp Duty; but, after some consideration, we believe
this would not c within that description.
We have, however, carefully inspected the list of
signatures ; and though. for the reason stated, we
cannot publish it, it may he satislictory to our readers
to Wan what class of persona compose it. They are
as follows the officers of the corporation, one
I M. P. (Sir Nicholas Colthurst,) aldermen, burgesses,
collectors of public money, revenue officers, army and
navy half-pay ditto, &livers on retired list, constables
(high and low), conservators, clergymen, and non-
, resident freemen.

On Monday last, at a Pust Hall of the ancient and
loyal corporation of Glovers and Skinners, or Guild of
the !leased Virgin Mary, Dublin, an Address of
Congratulation was voted, to be presented to her Ma-
jesty Queen Caroliue, on her recent triumph over her
accusers.

This was an action on a Bail Bond given by the de-
fendant to the late Sheriffs of London, to which the
def ndsnt pleaded infancy.

/Win
. . for a year, and that he was a remarkably tall
{ruing 111411, and had all the appearance of full age.—
In support of his plea of infancy, however, he called
a Yorkshire cousin, who remembered him when he was
only three immtlis old ; and he also produced the regis-
ter of his birth, by which it appeared, that he was in
a slate of inimicy when he executed the flail Bond.
The Jury, under the Learned Judge's directions,
found for the delemiant.

SITTI Nt i of the (ORTF.S.—Evax an Surrixti,2lst.
In this Sitting began the discussion of the Report of
the Special l'ommittee appointed to examine the pro-
posals of the Deputy Don Vincent Sangho, on the Re-
tarns of the Monasteries. The first article is as fol-
lows:
" All the Monasteries of the Monkish Orders shall be
supp 11, including• those of the Benedictine Cloister
of Arragon and Catalonia ; as also the Convents and
Colleges of the four Military Orders."
After some debate, the sitting broke up at eleven
n'elock. The debate was continued the nest day, when
the article was approved by 107 votes to 32. The arti-
cles up to the 19111 inclusive. were approved in the suc-
ceeding sittings of the fortes up to the 24th instant.
According to Art. 111, no new convent shall be founded,
nor any novice pt ofesse,!, nor any one admitted from this
tints to take the Monkish habit.

His 31ajesty, considering the many important sub-
jects still pending before the Cortes, making use of the
faculty given him by Art. 107 of the Constitution, pro-
poses iltit the Cortes shall prolong their sittings for
one month. Referred to the Committee of Legislature.

It was obgerved by a late eminent Barrister, that
" there are two extreme cases which pussle an ad-
vocate • the first is, where he has a case that presses
upon hits so heavily, that he can scarcely bear up
against the weight of it; the other is, where his
adversary attempts to cut his throat with a feather !"
Then would be little difficulty in applying the latter
branch of this maxim to her Ma'am's Counsel ; but
they. it seems, are determined to go through the
whole of theit case ; and if they do, may Heaven have
that merry upon the conspirators which will be denied
them by the insulted country !—No one, gifted with

Mr. Alesander is a printer, of the Jewish persna-!
residing in Whiteohapel, the defendants are Hurl
A!bion Fire and Life Insurance Company ; anal this
action was brought upon a, certain policy granted by
that company, by which in June, 'll9,the plaintiff's
stuck, utensils, and furniture, were insured to the
nmonat of 2,000/. In Feb. last, a fire happened
in the house of Mr. Alexander, and that gentleman
delivered upon an oath en account to the company, in
u hich he estimated his artn:tl loss at 3,100/. ; and
claimed, under his policy for 2,0110:. a sum exceeding
1.950/. It appeared in the course of the cause that
Mr. Alexander had been in a sitignlar degree visited
by that element, against the ravages of which the Al-
bion Company undertook, in 1'419, to protect him, the
accident which gave rise to the present proceeding
being the third, within ei;l.t years, which had occur-i
eel in his house. About seven years ago he recovered I
a sum of money from the Royal Exchange Company
anal, no longer since than thee year Isl 7, he claimed
from the Eagle Company; and, 110 longer since than
the year 1•417, he claimed from the Eagle Company
2,11t1t/f. and received, under an award, MIL subject
to the payment of his rusts. The plaintiff's present
claim was resisted by the defendant as exaggerated
and fraudulent; ab. am offer of reference (which was
tu ire repeated in the progress of the trial) being re
jected by Mr. Alexander, the cause was lett to the de-
cia.i.un of a jury.
A vast mass of evidence was addneed upon both
*ides ; but into the detail—hay no !Ix:m-1 ititrre.4thig—
