S'7'ATESM2IN

SIRS In answer to the inquiries of Mefistsitor, in-
serted in your Paper of Tuesday. last, I take the
earliest opportunity of informing him, that the•in-
signia of the White Rose ryas taken from the First
West York Regiment of Militia about two ;ears
ago, in consequence of a General Order that no Re-
giment should be allowed to wear any other than the
Brass Regulation Mate in their Caps, and no autho-
rity being in possession of the Regithent for .the
wearing the White Rose, of course the order was
immediately complied with.
I am, Sir, dra.

DR. RAINE.. •
TO THE EDITOR: OF THE sTiAfiEsilArt.
SlR,—The remains of the.late Rev. Dr.
attended by a considerable pumbei' of persons, both
Churchmen and Disseiatert, were interred yesterday,
in the aisle of the Chapel at the Charter 'lope, just
lender *the reading desk. I have rarely teen an
auditory So much affected, or manifest more real
sorrow for the loss of a valuable and useful character.
*hen a late illustiious Statesman, Mr. Fox, was
entombed at Westminster Abbeys I lid the honour
of standing close to Dr. RHINE, who behated on
hat occasion with a dignity worthy of his profession ;
and manifested a degree of sensibility, that proved
his just. value of the loss the nation sustained by the
demise of so zealous a friend to peaces freedom, and
humanity.

Being sixteen year, older than Dr. Rant, I did
not expect to live to see him go " to his long home;"
but being an attendant on that melancholy occasion,
as well out of respect to the deceased, as in contem-
plation of my own latter end, while the corpse was
carrying into the Chapel, I penciled the following
lines, which, after the solemn service, were dropt
into the grave.

0 ! too soon Seveed from our ling' ring view
Acceyt, dear RA ix ! this fond,—this Inst adieu
Till we rejoin thee, far heynni the sky,
" Where ev'ry tear is %sip's! frum ev'ry eye."

SHOCKING CATASTROPHE.

A letter from Lisbon, received by the last mail;
states, that the following catastrophe took place
lately in the neighbourhood of Castallo Branco
Owing to some misunderstanding about a billet, two
British Officers: a Lieutenant-Colonel and Captain,
took upon themselves to throw= the baggage of a
Portuguese Officer out_ of the window; and on the
latter's r monstrating, the Colonel spit in his face.
The Portuguese drew his sword, and with one or two
blows on thr head dispatched the Colonel. • The
Captain had in the mean tiMe4trmed himself to assist
his friend ; but the Portuguese Officer W:.:5.10.6 alert
for him, and with one thrust laid him-dead at his
feet. An English picket *v• called in, to which lid
refused to surrender; but. immediately did to bne
of his own country. The Portuguese officer it is
said, is considered as having acted properly. in Cie
itffair with the Colonel-at leise, and be supported
by Marshal Beresford.
