ROYAL DISINTERMENT.

re

-----
Yesterday evening, at half past eight o'clock, the
remains of the infant Princes, Alfred and Octavins,
children of his late Majeity, were removed from the
Royal vault at Westminster Abbey. The coffins ap-
peared in good preservation, and were placed in sepa-
rate hearses to be conveyed to Windsor, where they
were to be re-interred in the eemetry appmptiated to the
other branches of the Royal Family. Several tinder-
taker's men attended un the occasion, four of whom held
lighted flambeaus, and the hearses, which were without
any distinctive emblems whatever, were preceded by a
carriage, in which a gentleman was seated. The hell of
St. Margaret's church continued tolling during the time
the undertaker's men were present.
The late King, at a very advanced period of his
life, indulged in the amusement of hunting. An acci-
dent in the field gave rise to the following anecdote,
which may afford an idea of his natiiril kindness and be-
nevolence. His Majesty's horse descender) into a
and one of the yeomen, who was Ouse behind in the
order of the cheer, and not able to stop Lis horse.
went clear over. His Majesty, shortly after, n'- joi Hint
Lord Hinchinhrooke, said with great composure, "
Lord, I wish you to desire that fellow not to ride
over me again—dues he think I hare eyes in my back ?
This was the only notice his Majesty took of' au acci-
dent that threatened serious personal injury.

Rtrt..-As a dissolution of Parliament is hourly ex-1
peeled, allow me to- suggest (thsrengh the medium of
your widely extended and patriotic journal) the expe-
diency of publishing an alphabetical list of the•ma-
jorities and minorities upon all the great constitutional
ynestions that have been discussed in the House of Cosi.
mon., during the present Parliament ; showing the
places each person repreients, that the Electors of the
United Kingdom may have a full view of the conduct
of their Representatives, ant see how far they have
jus-
tified that confidence which was reposed in them at the
last Election.

As this is an important subject, which will occupy a
greater portion of your valuable journal than you can
possibly devote to it, I merely throw nut the hint,
that some publisher (if he thinks it worthy his atten-
tion) may be induced to publish it at a small price;
which I doubt no►, at this important time, may find
a ready sale, and he the means of preventing many
Members from being returned, who lime proved them-
selves utterly unoorthy of the confidence of their ton-

THE PiTRIARCITS GR.114 :

tort, JUST PVIII.MIIIIIO,
TO TIIE MEMORY OF HIS LATE MAJESTY:

Oh! comes there not, with the majestic fall
Of him whom millh.ns hale nbeyed, a gloom
That damps our reason's (le We tremble alt•
When the pale h rant strikes at grandeur's plume.
From earth's dim scenes, that aged spirit's gone!
Yet shall not our adoring thoughts forget
The fsir, the glorious (1113. that o'er us shone.
TIT' its wrapped sun in glimm'ring ewe has set.
When thou, pale Soc•reign of our sighs and tears,
Within the sepulchre's dumb gl shalt sleep!
To soil the tablet of parted years
No serpent form, like calumny, will creep.
Fur when to happier realms thy spirit's breath,
With all its trnia of smiling virtues new,
Recording II isdor) 's banner waved o'er Death
"Th!, name! —it dazzled to the world's relies..
Why should the proud and gilded trophy blaze ?
On Death's pale horse dark fate shall bring the day,
When tow 'rs and trophies perish !—when the rays
That sparkled in a Crown must fade away :
But far above the stormy sea of time.
Thy honour's awful trumpet still replies
To the world's praise !—Thy living fame sublime
Still points with solemn grandeur to the skies. •
Richmond, Suer,. B. READ, Jett.

We hare, in another place, spoken of the fore-
boding ill effects of the House of Commons erect-
ing itself into a Court of Judicature, and such a
(hurt. ton, as condemns unheard. Mr. Hon-
stouts:, to whom imprisonment has imparted
an improved quality of discernment (as it does
to all men whose minds arc composed of firm
materials), observes, in his " argument against
his corer
ay House of Comtnuw
" If this atCcirity foe sanctioned by the Law
Courts in a hiody of our fellow subjects, they will Dot be
protecting thsomselves--they will not be protecting their
Sovereign—silty will not be protecting the laws—they
*ill not be proterting morality, or justice, or the public
peace; no, they will be only contributing to the deafness
of those who have long resolved to hear nothing that
the people say of them. As for his Majesty, be may be
pelted by a pitiless storm of epigrams and declama-
tions; he will have nothing left for it but to say, as
Charles 11. did when he saw some one standing its the
pillory fbr libelling his Ministers, ' What a fool this
, fellow was for not libelling me! nobody would have
tourhed Isitto!!• gren the Ministers themselves will be
assailable; for Lord Liverpool said the other day, that
the King's Ministers were open to any attaek. The
only inviolate holly will be the Sovereigns in the
Houses of Parliament; these are the only indivi-
duals who are to be debarred of the benefit of know-
! ing what is thought of thesis. This pamphlet goes no
farther than to tell them that. As for violence, the man
who says it reconsehends violence, does not know what
a note of interrogation nieans. As for irritating the
people to rise, the irritation is a t singular one in-
deed. It tells them, KIWI do rise, they will be sabred
and hanged. It is nine). midi an invitation to rise, as
that of Abliaragn to the felon, it, Ileusure fur Measure,
' Ale:sire Bernerillise rise, wad Ac hungrel: The
pamp_hlet, slier as I see, guest not a step beyond telling
the Hotly. oft• 44444 mons that they are the objects not of
love hut fear. And what will happen if the Court, by
seconding this deternsination of the House, to hear no-
thing that is said of them without doors, al Id prevent
the truth, the salutary truth, from ever reaching them?
I will tell them what will hapren--the same that hap-
pened to Henry VIII. That King, lima Burnett, in hes
history of thelieformation, made it high treason to pre-
dict bus death. When he was se • -sty ill, the physi-
Girona were afraid to speak of the danger, and his Majesty
died.
" Equally wretched will he the condition of the sub-
jects of England. A man of marked politics, at it is
called, will lire and move only upon sufferance. He
will be put out of the law. There will be an end of hies
—at least their will he an end of :ois free existence, and
of the only life which he would wish to lire. This is no
exaggeration at all: life is an intolerable burden to those
who find themselves suddenly cramped in the exercise
of all those faculties, and the indulgence of all those
li-
beral dispositions which 4ave grown with their growth,
and strengthened with their strength. I alit sure there
are thousands of Englishmen who wonld die sooner than
he struck at once with such a moral palsy, and be con-
-1 donned to linger out a miserable existence, made more
i wretched by a comparison of their former strength with
their present impotence. The Jeffers, whose dignity is
I interwoven with the supremacy of the law, and who,
sitting on the bench, not to confirm the edicts of arbi-
! trary power, but to preserve the reign of justice, have
a greater interest in the resistance of ).runny, than any
1 other men in the kingol will never allow of so gross
and noanifest a violation of the authority of the Court
over whirls they preside. Thee never will—they never
1 can confirtoo an act whirls must 'destroy the liberty of the
press, and supersede the trial by jury. '
EVENT IN HIGH LIVE. —The topic of conver-
sation yesterday was the sudden disappearance of
a man of fashion, who has long taken the lead in the
gay haunts at the west end of the town. He held high
rank in the army. and is an accomplished scholar. An
unhappy predilection for play is the ranee assigned for
his abrnpt departure. Some of his friends are said to
he under acceptances for a very considerable sum. A I
the trades-people are left unpaid ; and more than oa
hotel-keeper has reason to bewail Isis loss. The fugitive
loss winged his flight to the conquest!.

A traveller worthy 15f bredit, and who has re-
cently returned from Venice, has given us some Whet
curious details of the means which the English employ
to transport to England the palaces and monument-
' with which Vedice abounds, end which are no longei
kept up. After having made the pnrehase; the English
cause them to be carefully demolished ; every stone, co-
lumn, capital and architrave numbered anti rmharket:
for London, Dover, or Plymouth, in such order, that on
their arrival, the palaces; nionnmenti, &e. may be re-
constructed at little expense. it even appears, that some
of these edifices have thus been re-established very far
from the places which they ddce illustrated and embel-
lished.—(Peris paper.)
