XZtlVT U.,-'. FUNERAL PROCESSION OF HER I- ATE MAJESTY CAROLINE, QUEEN ov ENGLAND. Very. early on Tuesday morning a great part of the population of the metropolis was in motion, to pay the last respect to the remains of ibe Queen, before they were transported for ever from a country which has been tbe scene of her persecutions and her triumphs. The people had been studiously kept in the dark, as to the course the • procession was to take, parhaps with lite view of giving that appearance of desortedatss to the'funeral, which her enemies so studiously labored fo.' give ti, her' Majesty's dwelling daring ber life- The anxiety of the people, . however, to obtain the information that was withheld from ( hem, was the means of shewing tbe interest which they felt. The state of the we& iber was such as would have scared mere Idle spectators. Tlia morning was unusually dark, and rain falling without intermission, added to the gloom which the solemn affair of the day was . calculated to create. The only information which the public bad obtained as to the directioa which the corpse was to take, was contained in a letter from Mr. Hobliouse to the Sberifis of London.— The information contained in this letter, was, however, merely negative; viz. that the Royal corpse should not pass through the city. It was thought, perlxips, that the passage of the remains of her Majesty throngh the city, attended by tbe Corporation, might have called to mind another occasion when the persecuted Liv. ly, whose remaiDs are now to. be borne to their last resting place, went, amidst the gratulations of an unexampled multitude, to offer up thanks ( alas, how prematurely 1) for bar sucsesa against the malice of ber enemies. We proceed to present our readers with the details of this j melancholy ceremonial. BSANDEXBURGU- HOC8E. Mr. Bailey, M' Mount- street, Grosyenor- square, who had been appointed conductor of her Majesty's funeral, arrived FA Bcander. borgh- housc soon after 5 o'clock, preceded by the hearse, drawn by eight horses. and the mourning coaches, with the various funeral habiliments and paraphernalia.— fh^ re were about 20 coaches and si*, the horses' beads ornamented with plames. The hearse was rather a snsall one, aa » 3 surmounted by a profusion of block plumes: on each side, the royal arms, quartered with those of the Brunswick family, were emblazoned in scarlet and gold. This gave t » tbe vehicle rather a splendid appearance; but it was still, we thought, far short of what it ought io have been upon an occasion 1 ike this. Aboat the same time Sir George Nayler, as Clarencieux j King at Arms, arrived, attended by Mr. Hood, tbe Herald. . A little after 6 o'clock Dr. Lushingtoo arrived. Mr. Wilde, Kr. Brougham., Alderman Wood, Mr- Hobhouse, Sir Rol l bort Wilson, Mr. Thomas, ( acting for Mr. Mush, ef the Lord Chamberlain's Office,) Dr. Holland. Lieutenants Flynn and Hownau&, Count Vassali, were fwesent in the state apartment. " A; ui o'clock precisely a srpadron of the Oxford Bines, j under the command of CaptaiB Bouverie, arrived from their barracks, RegentVpark ( which thoy left at a quarter before five o'clock), at Braadenburgh- house, and rode up the avenue fvom the lodge, and formed into a line in front of the bouse. '{% o helmets of the officers were partiaEy covered with black crape. The gates of Brandenbnrgh- hoose were kept by Perry, rwie of the officers of Bow- street, wbo admitted only those whose names were on a list U" he JJarihaimen of tbe Royal Household arrived about tire seme time oa horseixydt. They were in full uniform, with their baton", decorated with crape. They wore silk scarfs, and had crape upon Iheir hats. At seven o'olock tbe mourning coaches intended for tbe domestics of her late Majesty's household were ordered to draw up to tha door, and the sofvaWB, male and female, having eniered them, they drew slowly off towards the outer gates. This occupied half an bout Tiie servants of her M^ esty's Counsel, and of ber otlier officers, occupied places in. these coaches; and the whoii were arranged according to their respective ranks. Mr. Builey now gave orders for every person to be in readiness to depart with tbe procession; anil he went id to the stale room; and gave directions to tile Lord Chamberlain's afficore to deliver up the body to the persons in waiting, . whs would carry it to the hearse. The- persons whose names are abore- mentiooed ( except Mr. Wlkle) were in tho stale room at this period. Sir George iVuyter stood in bissrate dress, at the foot- of her Majesty's coffin; - on bis right was Mr. Hood, the Hertild, holding in his liaod the ( Erections from his Ma On each Side of tho body were arranged Mr. Brougham, Sir R. Wilson, Mr. Ilobhouse, Mr. Thomas, Dr. HE, Hand. Mr. Bailey, Mr. Chippeuden, the Assistant . Conductor, Alderman Wood, Rev. Mr. Wood, ber Majesty's Chaplain, Count Vassal i, & c. On the body of ber Majesty being demanded of the executors, Dr. Loshington spoke to the followingefiect:— Sir George Nayler and'Mr. Bailey, you know what has already taken place upon the subject of her late Majesty's interment; you know what has been the. expressed wish of her Majesty's executors, upon the necessity of delay, for the pnrposeot' making preparations for so long a journey, and also upon the disgraceful coi^ d- iK't that bus been persisted in by his Majesty's Government ( in. such direct opposition to the known w ill of her late Majesty),"^ forcing to'the funeral procession a great body of soldiers. I efiler my solemn protest against the retiidyiil other Majesty! s. body, in right of the legal power which is vested in me by her late Majesty, as executor. Proper arrangements for the funeral, and the long journey, and voyage by sea, have not been made—' there has not been time. for it; and I command that the body be not removed till the arrangements suitable to the ran) t and dignity of ihe deceased are made." Mr. B A I L E Y . — " I have orders from Government to remove the body, which is now in the custody of the Ivmf Chamberlain. I must do my duty. The body must be removed." Dr. I^ 7SHINCTOS.~—" Touch the body at your peril. You have no power to act contrary to the will of her Majesty's execntors, and they do their duty by protesting against such an usurpation." Mr. B A I L E Y . — " You do not mean to use violence, and prevent bv force the removal of the body, I trust, Doctor Lnsbington." Dr. LUSHIJKJTOK.—" I shall Bse no violence myself." Mr. BAILEY.—" ,\ or recognize it in others." Dr. LOSHIKOTON.—'" I shall neither assist in or recommend violence, nor shall I join the procession in my official character of executor, but merely go as a private individual, to shew my respect for her Majesty." Mr. BAILEY.—" Very well, Sir; I shall discharge my duty firmly, and, I trust, properly." At half- past seven the hearse drew up to tbe door, arid ths bearers were ordered to be in readiness. Sir George Nayler, attended by Mr. Thomas, and Messrs. Seymour, Gardner, and Nost, went info tbe state apartment, and taking the cushion and erown from the head of the coffin, ha bore it to tbe couch immediately preceding the hearse, and one of the attendants placed it on the seat The pail was next brought out and placed als » in the same Coach, The bearers, twelve in number, then advanced, and took up tlie coffin to bear it to the hearee. The scene in the interior of the hall at this moment will not soon be forgotten. Many of the inferior domestics, who were not to accompany tho funeral, had assembled in tbe passage to take a last view of the remains of their lamented mistress; and. theso, with several private persons, fined the ropm on each tide. When tbe bearers advanced towards tiie door, tbe women sobbed aloud; and one threw herself upon tbe floor, and evinced tbe most violent and impassioned grief. Those of the other sex shed tears plentifully as tbe body passed; and several hurried out to see it deposited in the hearse- This having been done, under the immediate inspection of Sir George Nayler, that gentleman with his attendants entered the carriage in which tbe erown, & c., were placed. The carriages for the mourners then came to tbe door fn succession. While Mr. Wilde's coach was stopping at the door of Brander. bttrgh- house, a message was sent from him that lie wished to see Mr. Bailey. This gentleman immediately weut to the state apartment where Mr. Wilde was, and on entering k Mr. Wilde presented him with a written protest against the removal of her Majesty's body. He then addressed Mr. Bailey in very warm language, declaring the conduct pursued by his Majesty's Ministers to be most disgraceful, as well as illegal. He declared that the body was taken by force against the will of the esecntors, and called upon Mr. Bailey to give him some information as to where be intended to take the procession, by what route, and where was its destination ? Mr. Bailey complained that every imj> ediment was thrown in tile way of the- persons whose doty it was fo attend the removal of the body, lie then tookout cf his pociet a paper, ami read from it tbe route of the procession :— " Ttio funeral'cavalcade to. pass from the gate of Brandtmburgh- bouse, through'Hammersmith, to turn round by Kensington g ravel- pits, near the church, into the Cxbridgeroad, u> Bayswater; from thence to Tyburn- turnpike, down the.

J The carriages of different Gentlemen, the friends of her late Majesty. The Committeeof Hammersmith and London, two and two. The hamlet of Hammersmith, as the procession passed up the Broadway, presented a striking spectacle. The windows of the houses were tilled in every part, chiefly with females, all in the deepest mourning; and a great number of men had climbed ' upon the roofs, and even upon the chimneys, so great was the anxiety to obtuin a view of the procession. On each side of the road vehicles of every kitid were drawn up, 1 and seats or standing places on them were purchased eagerly, at from Is. to 3s. The owners of some of the carts and waggons- had " provided canopies « f carpet or sail- fJoth, which protected the occupiers of seats from the rain, and these men made a very considerable sum by their speculation. The space between these carriages and the houses was com-: pletely filled with spectators on foot, many of whom were without umbrellas, or any other than their ordinary covering; but the heavy sain which cpnfimjed'to fall the whole of tbe morning did not dismay them. We saw hundreds of women, of all ages, standing patiently beneath the petting shower, and bearing, wifhouf a murmur, the rude assault to which they were eOery minute subject, from the went of common tenderness on the pa » t of the mm. As the procession moved along, it was regarded by tbe asscmbled'ntahitude with mournful earnestness. The great majority of the ( female spectators were in tears, and many wept aloud as thry took their last view of the hearse. The fair inhabitants of the hamlet evinced tiie strongest sensibility upon this melancholy occasion. They were seen at their windows gazing with tearful eyes « pon the solemn spectacle, and many were heard to Bob aloud, apparently in ihe greatest agony of grief. When the head of the procession reached the Broadway, the spectators were gratified with one of the most interesting sights, we believe, ever witnessed. The children, male and female, of Latimer's OhArit^ choot, issuedfrom the schoolhouse, in their best dife'sses, bearing crape upon their hats, and . each bearing a small white basket filled with choice flowers. The sides of the basket were covered with crape. The little ones having. ranged themselves at the head of the cavalcade in proper order, two and two, they proceeded on, strewing their flowers in the road as they walked along. The extremely neat dresses- of the children, with their simple but earnest manna* of performing this ceremony, excited the highest admiration and tbe deepest sympathy. It imparted a degree of painful interest to the scene, that will long be remembered by those who had an opportunity of beholding it. The children walked bareheaded, and bore the heavy rain with great cheerfulness. When their stock of flowers was exhausted, they walked out of the line, and'stood at the side of the road until the proccssion had passed them, when they returned to the school- house. These children had been furnished- wilh their baskets on Monday, and they went round on that day to the principal inhabitants of th » hamfet, and begged from each a supply of the best flowers in the garden. ROUTE FROM HAMMERSMITH TO HYDE- PARK CORNER. The procession moved on, at a slow pace, through the immense crowds that lined each side of the road. When it arrived'as far as Kensington Church, un obstacle of a most formidable and decisive nature, as regarded the disposition of the assembled multitude to effect a change in tbe route planned by the Government, presented itself. Here it was perceived that two waggons were drawn across the street which led to the Gravel- pits, one of them loaded. The oilier was a military waggon. An attempt had been made to loosen the pavement, so as effectually to prevent the passage of any cavalcade ; and a chain was thrown across the High- street, Kensington, which was not removed until after much labor- On the representation of some persons in the suite, the military waggo'i was Speedily removed; but this was no sooner done, than another waggon was thrust by the people into the gap. The people seemed determined to resist ; any attempt to remove these waggons, and continually cried, " Through the City! through the City!" There was no attempt at this time to remove the waggons by force. A messenger was now sent from Kensington to Lord Liverpool. Meantime the barrier was increased by the constant accumulation of carts from bebiivi. Wc heard also that there was a trench dug in the upper part of the Gravelpit- road. The conductor © ! the precession would not lake upon himself the responsibility cf moving in any other direction thao tbat laid down in the written directions. The whole cavalcade therefore hJted, until new instructions could be obtained. The procession reached Kensington at halfpast nine, and it was not t?! l after eJewn that it moved on again, in consequence of e message, it was said, from the Earl of Liverpool. At the end ef the lane in front cf the church several skirmishes tw. k placc betweert the police- officers and the people, in which many severe blows were exchanged on both sides. The prooesskr W'l mcred on to tbf palt into Ffvdr- perk, near Kensington; and an attempt was made lo pass into the Park; but this failed, and the conductor? cooseritd to pass on through Ktnsjrjtton- pore anrf Kr'Ehfc- bridge. When the proccssion reached Hlyde- park- corner, we found o troop of Life Guards drawn up; at whose appearance much dissatisfaction was expressed by the people. Indeed, from the moment at which the procession moved from Brandenburghhouse, the greatest dissatisfaction was displayed by the people at the appearance of- ftie soldiery. As the procession passed by the Broadway, Ilammersmith, a thousand voices exclaimed, " Why are the soldiers here ?" and tlie hissings and hoolings accompanied and followed them along the road.—. The soldiery bore those attacks at first with apparent good humor. At this period an immense multitude assembled— a multitude which, even on the finest day, and under circumstances of a more joyous nature, we never saw exceeded.— The general cry amongst tbe people was, tbat ( he royal corpse should be carried through the City— that jt should be paraded amongst that honest and honorable body, who, from the first moment of her Majesty's return to this country, bad proved themselves her decided and disinterested friends.— Many persons tarried in their hands copies of the official declaration, whicb told to the astonished public, that the remains of our beloved and persecuted Queen should be conveyed fromllammersmith in an almost ignominiously private m* nner. Thismode of heaping insult on the remains of one who, while living, had braved her enemies with a degree of firmiiess which virtue alone can bestow, excited amidst the crowd the strongest senlimcots x) f reprobation; and those sentiments were loudly expressed, as the procession approached Park- lane. Groans, hisses, and execrations, were levelled at the soldiers j and again it was demanded, in a voice of thunder, " What business bad they there on such an occafion ?" The Life Guards, who had before signalised themselves in the same neighbourhood, were not quite so gentle as they had previously been, and they struck, with the flat of their swords, some of those persons who approached them. They attempted to force, « et amis, a passage down Park- lane; but the dense mass of people, and the coaches, carts, and cars, which in a few minutes were thrown across the road, rendered their efforts wholly abortive. Here there Was a delay for a few minutes; until at length the officer of the guard having consulted with some persons near him, the procession was ordered to turn, and it entered the Park at the corner gate, and proceeded towardsCumberlandgate, the entrance at the Oxford- street end. The Life Guards were drawn up, si* on each side of the gate. Two of them then passed the procession, and rode a- head of the horsemen. The appearance of this fresh supply of military force occasioned the most boisterous uproar. Some of the Guards, displeased wilh the abuse they received, 9truck the people; but the people, though unarmed, did not refrain from iheir maledictions. The scene at this moment was most awful— the carnage of Manchester rapidly shot aeross our memory. HYDE- PARK, AND ATTACK ON* THE PEOPLE AT CUMBERLAND- GATE. At about 12 o'clock the procession entered the Park, and during its passage through it a scene of confusion and outrage ensued of which the annals of this orany other Christian country can, it is hoped, present few parallels. Vast numbers of persons on foot and on horseback passed with great speed along Park- lane, and in all directions towards Cumberland- gate. Their object was suspected by the Guards to be to reach that gate before them, wilh the view of meeting the procession and again forcing it to turn back. To prevent this, the Guards galloped through the Park at full speed, in order to gain Cumberland- gate before them. Simultaneously with this movement of the Guards and the multitude attendant on the royal funeral, the procession itself moved at a very quick pace through the Park. Suddenly, however, it halted, and it was understood that the people had closed the gates. It became necessary, we understand, in consequence of the peremptory orders issued to the Guards to force their way for the procession through whatever impediments might present themselves, for them to disperse the multitude at Cumberland- gate, and clear a passage. The people were equally bent on turning the procession, and forcing it into the route of the City. Here a contest arose, and here, we deeply grieve to say, blood u> as shed. Some stones and mud were thrown at the military, and, a magistrate being present, the soldiers were sanctioned in firing their pistols and carbines at the unarmed* crowd.— Screams of terror were heard in every direction, and numbers were seen flying across the Park in dismay. The number of shots fired was not less than forty or fifty. The Goartfs were galloping about in all direcliens. One of the sufferers, whose name is Richard Hrrey, a carpenter, reriding at No. 3, Rose- street, Soho, was shot at the corner of Great Cumberland- street, and the body carried to the General Towrskend, in Oxford- street. Others, who were wounded, were carried to ft. George's and Middlesex Hospitals. So completely did the soldiery appfar tit this period to have lost the good temper ar. d forbearance ibey hod previously evinced, tbat tbey fired shots in Ihe direction in which the procession was moving. In consequence of this, some gentlemen belonging to the parish of Hammersmith, and who occupied a conch rtxt to that cf Alderman Wood.. Dar » cwJy escaped with their lives. A ball passed through one of the panels of the coach, and came out at the other iside, but most prtvide ntiully without injury » c those within it. Abom t » etlty yards ofjlhe wall i< nd pelisades of the Park, $ adjoining Cumberland- gate, were pulled down by tlie people within the Park in their endeavours to get out. CUMBERLAND- GATE TO TOTTENIIAM- COURTROAD. The procession now crossed the end of Oxford- street; and leaving Tyburn- turnpike on tbe left, passed down the Edgerwars- road towards Paddsngton. Almost immediately upon ( he cessation of the firing, the latter part of tbe procession, which during the continuance of the unfortunate affray between the military and the peopte had remained in tbe Park, proceeded rapidly forward, and joined tbe rest of the funeral train in the Edgeware- road. Upon leaving the Park, several mourning coaches, followed by a considerable number of horsemen, broke out of the line of the procession, and proceeding down Cumberiand- street, turned off to the right, and, as far as we could learn, did not again take any share in the solemn ceremony in which they had previously borne apart. Whether tbfe proceeding resulted from a feeling of disgust at the transaction which had just before taken place, we do not know; but it was evident that al this moment tho minds © i tho individuals in tlie procession were much discomposed. The populace in Oxford- road ami at Tyburngate appeared to be in tbe highest degree esaspcraled against the military, whom they loaded with the bitterest execrations. Some cried out " They bare shot a man, and killed him;" others wished to draw tbe attention of the horsemen in tbe funeral train- to the blood of the unfortunate sufferers in the conflict which stained the ground in seve » al places. However, the admirers of her late Majesty were not to be deterred from testifying their respeet for her pre- eminent worth, and tlie proccssion continued to prooeod along tbe Eclgewareroad, as strong in numbers us when k first left Hammersmith, with the exception of the seocders we hove above alluded to. The rain, which had latterly somewhat abated, again poured in torrents as the procession advanced on tbe Edgeware- rood. The expression of deep feeling among the spectators of Tuesday's never- to- be- forgotten ceremony far surpassed even the expectations which w&— ardent admirers of our late Queen, as it is known we are— had forrosd on this subject. It might reasonably be supposed tbat amongst all persons of kind dispositions great sorrow would be feh for her Majesty's unhappy fale; but lhat it should have been so deep and so general could hardly be exported, even by her best friends. Her death- bed, has, however, converted thousands of sceptics. At most of the houses along the route which the proccssion pursued, females cf all ages might be seen weeping; thtir eyes red and swnhi, and their whole demeanour giving evidence of the most poignant grief. This, which is a fact of great interest, was witnessed by thousands, and cannpt he denied. As the procession moved along the New- road, the crowd became more dense and compact.— Large groups of individuals in carriages, on horseback, and on foot, were collected at the ends of all the streets running, south from the New- road. At tlie top of Portland- place, and in the Regent's- park, Ihe assemblage was immense. STOPPAGE AT THE TOP OF TOTTENHA2JCOURT- ROAD. It was about halT- past one when the head of die procession had advanced to tiie end of the New Paddington- road, and was about " to cross the top of Tottenham- coort- road, for tiie purpose of continuing the route to fhe City- road. Here, however, a sudden and insurmountable obstacle presented itself: the people, who at Cumberland- gale had been cut down and shot in their endeavours to turn the precession out of tbe by- paths chosen by the Government into tbe open public- street, now made a second and more suoeessful attempt to effeet the laudable object of having tiie Queen carried through the metropolis, instead of being hurried through its outskirts like an object to be concealed. In an instant they put in practice tbe only effectual means of obtaining their object: every waggon, cart, reach, and vehicle, of whatever description, was seize*!, or rather spontaneously seemed to go and form itself into parts of a dense deep mass, extending the whole wklth of tho road, and almost u hundred yards in depth. Through such a corojiaet body it was impossible to force any passage except by artillery, and the Government had not prepared tbat description of force. The leader of the procession looked at the impenetrable mass with dismay, and turni- d down into Tottenham- court- road.— The foolish persons, however, who had the conduct of the j funeral, were not yet awakened to a sense of what was doe to the honest feelings of the people, and made another fruitless effort lo deviate into a fonc and by- way out of the eye of froneral observation and general love; but the skill and dexterity of the multitude again anticipated and defeated them. Franc is- streot, Totte- nham- court- road, down which the leader of the procession attempted to pass, was in an instant blocked up with carriages of all descriptions, which seemed to rush lo a common centre as if by instinct. Tbe procession was thus compelled to move on a strait line towards St. Giles's, every street which leads out of Tottenhamcoert- road towards She directum of the New- toad, being rendered inaccessible by the instantaneous blockade cf the mnltitude. TOTTENIIAM- CCURT- ROAD TO THE CITY. At # ie bottom of Oxford- street those who acted in epp ® - siticn to Ihe wishes of the people ( whether the eminent undertaker was erected into a ccmmander- in- chief we have nci . distinctly beaiif) intended to torn the procession back into T H E N E W S . ' 259 55S? some ofthe by- streets fey means of a regiment of foot- soldiers;, but the military were tGo late, either by passive obstruction or by firing. The procession no'tv moved onwards till it reached the top of Drury- Iane, and here the main passage down Holborn being completely blocked up, it was compelled to take the direction towards the Strand. Nay, so anxious and sjp determined were the people not to be defeated, that it having occurred to them that another attempt might be made to regain the irregular path, by turning out of Drury- lane into Great Queen- street, and thus returning to Holborn, they effectually blocked up the avenue of Queenstreet, and foroed the procession to descend into the Strand. It may here be proper to remark, that the'Oxford Blues, who were on Kuty at the time the Life Guards fired on the people, did not participate in ihe outrage. They were, of course, during the whole day, favorites of the people, and were repeatedly cheered. " Though the public were displeased to see anymilitary force in the procession,, the mild conduct of these soldiers and their officers seemed to attract that approbation which is always given to imen who behave with moderation and propriety, in whatever- situation they may be placed. When fhe cavalcade arrived at ( he bottom of Newcastlestreet, a body of infantry was drawn in a semi- cireular line across the street from the New Church to prevent tha popa- i laee from passing. Upon reaching Temple- bar, the procession halted for a short time; and we understand that a part < if the body of Life- guards which had hitherto accompanied the cavalcade, here separated from it and returned to the west- end of the town. The Oxford Blues were- oioch appiaodad by the people at this spot. THE CITY. As soon as ftie cavalcade passed the gates of Temple- bar, the Lord Mayor, m his private carriage, placed h imself at its head, and in this order it proceeded up Fleet- street, ttfe" almost unnecessary to state that alt ( he shops in tbe streets through which the processionmoved in thecitj; were closely shut up, and all the windows of the houses in the same line were crowded with individuals dressed generally in deep mourning, who appeared to take the deepest interest in the solemn scene which was passing before them. The routs observed through the city was aloog Fleet- street and I. ttdgate- hfll, round St. Paul's Church- yard, through ' Cheapside, past the Exchange, into Leaderihall- street, and from thence to WhitechapeLchorch. The numbers of the people assembled in these streets exceeded all calculation. Tho roofs of houses, and every point which could command a view of the procession, were possessed by anxi « us multitudes. A very delicate mark of respect was shewn by the people in ( he city towards the remains of our lamented Queen. The populace in the streets, and the inhabitants at their windows, invariably stood uncovered whilst ( tie hearse passed. , As the procession moved along the city, we' notioed that the Oxford Blues who then formed the principal escort were cordially greeted by the populace on either side of the street, Who shook them by the hands, slapped them on tho thighs, and patted their horses, exclaiming, " success to the Blues," " The Blees for ever," " True Blues," and using other expressions of like approbation. Such as could not come nearer to them, applauded them by clapping of hands.— Those whohad, during ithe reign of persecution waited on her Majesty wlth- addresses, were not negligent on this occasion. Her whom they had Joved in life, they followed in death ; and after bearing a heavy rain from five o'clock in the morning till twelve at noon, they joined fiie funeral procession, and followed all that remains of Caroline Amelia into the metropolis of this great Empire. We observed amongst those - grateful people, the carpenters, the brassfounders, the morocco leather- dressers, coopers, & e. They marched in ranks, with banners and emblems of their profession, One large banner, white with black letters, had the following inscription:—" Power of public opinion;" another had, " United we stand.-" another, " Spanish Leather dressers; Justice will triumph ;" another—" Friends of Humanity." The sailors who had assembled at Whitechapel, and aHumbcr of societies in v a r i o u s parts, moved towards iSanm"" ™ " 1'* 1", on leaguing that the corpse of her Majesty was to be conveyed by the outskirts of the metropolis towards Harwich. The streets were, during the day, crowded with decent people, all in mournings some entirely clad, others . partially, according to their respective means of expense, but none without some token of their regard for their beloved and persecuted Queen. At the boundary of the City, < in Whitechapel, the Lord Mayor and Mr. Sheriff Waithman Jeft the procession. ROUTE FROM WHITECIJAPEL TO ROMFORD. From Whitechapel the procession moved on to Mile- end, in the same order in which it had passed through the City, with this difference, that before it reached to the< former place it was joined by a large additional body of sailors, who formed tin small parties of six abreast, intervening between the hearse and the carriages in front. The procession at this place ( Mile- end) advanced ait a more rapid rate than it had been enabled to do before— so rapid, indeed, that many of those who had accompanied the funeral oa foot, were obliged to drop behind. The groups of mariners, however, which had just joined it, kept pace with it, and oontinued to move on in very regular order until it reached Bow. The procession entered Bow a short time past 5 o'clock. The crowds which lined the roads anc{ filled the houses on its approach to this place were very grea*. We here noticed, as we'll as in several other stages of the melancholy procession, that the females received it with tears. Indeed, it would be difficult to convey to a person who had not witnessed the procession an adequate idea Of the feelings with which the remains of her Majesty were* received in every place through which they passed. We tievef on any occasion satv^ uch public manifestations of sorrow. The procession continued in nearly tho same order from Bow to Stratford, in both of which placed, we should observe, its entrance was announced by the tolling of the church bells. In Stratford there was the same concourse of spectators, and the same affecting sympathy from the females, which we noticed before. At this latter plact, the bodies of sailors which had ijaiDed the procession formod in lines, at eadh side of the road; and as soon as it pajsed through, they returnedtowards toWB. Many of the hcSrsemen, who had accompanied the funeral from Hyde- park, also quilted al this plase. The cavalcade then moved on, occasionally in a very quick trot, ' to'llford. Here the funeral t.- as met by large'bodies of the inhabitants, on horseback, on foot, and in vehicles of every description, which lined the roads on both sides. Among these we noticed a number of private carriages ( Died with ladies dressed in deep mourning. At a quarter " past si* o'clock the funeral entered IIford, tbe streets of which were thronged with spectator ® . At tlie doors and windows of every house we noticed grotips of individuals, who appeared to sympathize most deeply in the general < feeling. At Bford ( be greater part ofthe Knight Marshal's men left the procession. Th « cavalcade then • moved on towards Romford, but « t rather a slower rate than it had kept since it had left Mile- end. At about a rtile this side of the town it was met % a deputation of the inhabitants, attired in deep mourning, each individual bearing a black wan3, covered at the top with crape. Preceded hy rtiis body, it entered Romforii at a quarter ta 8 o'clock. The inhabitants had been e* pecting il for several hours before j" and the most strange stories were prevalent as to ( he cair'a of its delay, Tha White IiJfrt Inn, where il was determined that her Majesty's suite should stop and dine, was hung with . mourning. A large canopy Covered with black cloth, handsomely festooned, was raised Over the gateway under which ihe persons composing the procession had to pass. As soon as the mourners had alighted from their carriages, the hearse with the Royal remain" j ™ ™ up aoout a tiun- Jred yards further ItlttrChe town. The Horse Guards ( Blue), who ha8 attended il from London, were here relieved by a party of the 4th Light Dragoons. Of these, a small guard of honor was placed round the hearse: the remainder of the troop paraded up and down tire street in its vicinity. It was expected by some that the stay of the procession at Romford would not exceed half an hour, and by others it was thought that it would remain there for the night. Indeed, from the fatigue which all the individuals who formed the procession had undergone, it was impossible that they could proceed without sonte considerable time being allowed for refreshment and repose. The principal persons of her Majesty's suite objected to going farther for that night, and some considerable time was occupied in tbe, discussion between them' and the individuals who had the direction of the funeral on this subject. It was at length determined that the body should be conveyed on to Chelmsford, and that the principal persons ef the suite should remain to rest at Romford until an early hour in the morning, at which time they were to setoff to overtake the procession before it reachedColchester. At a little before II o'clock the guard of honor in attendance on the Royal corpse began to move, and very soon the hearse was drawn up to its former station in the procession. It was at 4his time preceded by the deputation which had ushered it into the town, each member bearing a lighted torch. The appearance of the assemblage thus formed was truly grand. The procession was also accompanied for a short distance by the principal inhabitants of the town. Liuring the few dnort stoppages whicfh the funeral made on the road, a great number of very decent - people pressed round the hearse, anxious to be allowed to touch Che coffin. Tlie wish of many of - them was complied with, and they laid their hands on the end of the coffin with the utmost reverence, and departed apparently highly gratified. Brentwood, Wednesday morning, one o'clock, A. sr.'— The inhabitants of Brentwood, from whence this is dated, have lined the roads on each side leading to the village. The great numbers that have assembled during tha day have decreased considerably, and have gone to their hemes, disappointed and fatigued. Vast crowds of persons, male and female, still fill the street. Gentlemen ( about 106 in number) with torches, are anxiously waiting the arrival of the procession, which is now ia sight. The greatest respect was paid to the deceased.— The inhabitants escorted the cavalcade on the road to Ingatestone. Ingatettone, quarter- past 3 o'clock, Wednesday morning. — Not a person in ( his place is gone to boS, they have been anxiously waiting since noon yesterday, far the arrival • of the funeral procession. The intelligence of thg ' rioting and firing on the populace in LoriSon, has reached t& Js place, and reports of the most ridiculous nature are circulated. A£ horseman has just arrived ( one of the undertaker's men), stating that the procession is approaching this place. The moon shines brilliantly, and the cavalcade is seen at a distance. The effect of its'appearance at this hour, is grand and impressive. The people behave ' in a matmer highly becoming and consistent with the solemnity. Complaints have been made by the Household of her Majesty at being thus compelled te travel se fast, and say it is exceedingly indecorous. The crowds manifested not the least disposition to riot; but some of the farmers' labourers cried—'•' God bless tbeQneen!" whilst others shouted—" Hold your noise; it an't right at a funeral." The inhabitants of this place went with the procession aome. distance on the road to Chelmsford. Chelmsford, three efclock, Wednesday morning.— This is generally considered to be one of the most loyal towns in England. There are evidently party feelings existing very strongly. At this hour, however, the inhabitants, by hundreds, fill every street through - which the remains of her Majesty will . pass. The procession has been exjieqted for many hours, ani the people are exhausted fr< « ri- wet and fatigue. ' Quarter- past three o'clock.— Many of • the inhabitants are waitiog at fhe outskirts of the town, in momentary expectation of the funeral approaching within sight. One ofMessrs. Bailey and Sanders' men had - jest entered the town, and given information of her Majesty's remains being near at hand. The procession'moves very slowly; the horees- in- the mourning coaches and hearse are completely knocked up. Tbe pages aVM the out- riders'are in a most'deplorable condition, and appear half drowned and covered with mad, caused by rain, the trampling of horses* hoofs, and the splashing of carriage wheels. The streets of this town are literally ( at this hour fn tbe morning) choked with the vast assemblage of persons; it appears as . if the whole population of London had been attracted to this place. " The cavalcade • moves towards the church. The windows ® f the houses, are filled with spectators. The greatest order and regularity M preserved. Four o'clock,— The ooffin containing the body of hor'Majesty has been removed from the hearse into the church. It is laid upon a bier in the middle aisle, with the velvet pall placed over it. Sir George NaySer and Mr. Hood, the Herald, carried the Crown and Cushion into the church, and placed them upon the coffin. Lord and'Lady Hood, and Lady Hamilton have not arrived here; they were obliged, from excessive fatigue, to sleep at Bomford, at the White Hart. The Household of the late Queen have been i down at the Black Boy Tavern, the — viotis^ y when ior tne accommodation of the persons forming the procession. After a guard bad been placed over the : remains of her Majesty, Sir George Nayler and his assistants' retired to the inn, and were glad to seek repose afte*' the extraordinary exertions and dangers Of the preceding day.' Five o< cl » ck.— Orders have been given by Mr. Bailey for ' every, person who intends to go on from Chelmsford with the funeral, to be in perfect readiness to start by half- past nine o cluck. The members of the- household express great . dissatisfaction at the shortness of fete allowed for repose. Six o'clock.— Most of ( he inhabitants a'regone to rest-.— The town is perfectly tranquil, and only an inconsiderable crowd is collected near the Church, where the soldiers are on guard over the remains of the Queen. Rtmtford, Eight o'clock.— There is a report generally circulated through this town, that the body of her Majesty was not permitted to be taken iirto Chelmsford Church, and that serious consequences are apprehended. Nine o'clock.— An express has just arrived at these barracks. and two troops of the Blues are ordered immediately for Chelmsford, under the command of Col. Hill, the brother , of Lord Hill. The inhabitants of " Romford are now confident that something extraordinary has takou place at .'• Chelmsford.— Lord and Laly Hood, and Lady Hamilton, set off from here at six o'clock, in a coach and fotrr with outriders, Mr. and Mrs. Wilde ^ arrived here in a private carriage a considerable time before the procession, and set off for Chelmsford. Eleven o'clock.— An express has just passed through this place, and the fears of the good folks here ' have subsided. " All is quiet at Chelmsford; anS the cavalcade is to move towards Colchester at ten o'clock," was the iuteiligenc& given by the . person riding express. Chelmsford, Nine o'clock.— Lord and Lady Hood, and Lady Hamilton, are just arrived. Messrs. Bailey and Chitten den . ape making every exertion ( o proceed by ten o'clockbut such is the Condition of the horses, that it is believed they cannot be ready before twelve o'clock to set off. The streets are beginning do fill again most rapidly. Some of the mourners are not yet risen from their'heds, being quite worn. out. It may, therefore, be some time before the cavalcade- proceeds. Eleven o'clock.— Two troops of Light Dragoons, ofthe regiment„ caHed the Queen's Own, are now. drawu up before the church. The hearse is bwrught down, and the mourning coaches forming the procession are arranged as yesterday . The undertakers'aTe employedin bringing oat her MajeitVs remains from the church; the bell is tolling, and the funeral is immediately to proceed.

Mr. Hobhouse replied on Sunday morning, by expressing his surprise that the L'i/ 1 ies were not before informed ot the time appointed, but he would dispatch their note to Lord Liverpool. In si second note to them, he States that he is directed by Lord Liverpool to apprise their Ladyships, that the order for the removal of her Majesty's remains on Tuesday, is irrevocable; and that if not prepared, it is presumed their Ladyships would have no objection to follow after tlie procession has proceeded on its route, which was frequent in cases of this nature.— On receipt of this, the following letter was sent from LADY HOOD TO T H E EARL OP L I V E R P O O L. " My LORB,— Though I have not the honor of your Lordship's acquaintance, I cannot resist the impulse I feel to address you, not as the Minister of this country ; but I wish to speak to your heart; and I am not without the hopd ot inspiring you with sympathy on this most intereJting and awful subject. I have often, my Lord, heard you highly spoken of. Some time ago I was acquainted with » lady who was nearly allied to you, or tile late Lady Liverpool. Her sentiments of your good principles inspire me with hope that you will act up to that excellent monitorwit'nin every one's breast —'" To db as they would be done by." Why, my Lord, is her Majesty's funeral thus indecently hurried ? Air. Hobhouse replied to a note written by Lady Annellamilton and myself—" Because it was the Queen's request iu her will." This is, I believe, the first and only request of her Majesty's that ever has been complied with. And allow me, my Lord, to put another question to you— Why is there to be a guard of honor appointed to attend her funeral, which honor was never given to her during life ? If such is persisted in, I foresee much mischief, and I fear bloodshed. Tho people have ever been her Majesty's only friends; suffer them to pay their last tribute of affection to their beloved and injured Queen, without being interrupted by the military. I have been in the habit of attending her Majesty for the last five months through immense crowds, and not a single accident has ever occurred. Why, my Lord, is the corpse to ha carried out of the direct road to disappoint the people? For Heaven's sake revoke this sentence ; the evil of it exceeds nil calculation. I have, my Lord, been the companion of the Queen for the last five months: my previous knowledge of her good and estimable qualities alone induced me to accept this situation, and from seeing her deserted by al! her former associates and friends. And I can with truth assure you, that not even her bitterest enemy could censure ' her Majesty's conduct; and her death- tea, my Lord— that awful moment to which we are all approaching— is an example to .-. 11 living.

Brunette, to assure lior sister De Mont that she had forgiven her. I have one more appeal to make to. your Lordship : and first I will ask you why the funeral of the Queen of England should be so much more hurried than that of your Lordship's late wife? thaf event proves your Lordship's opinion on the subject; the Queen will not have been dead a week till after ten o'clock next Tuesday night; therefore, 1 trust your heart will dictate the same degree of outward respect, if not love for, your Queen. And now, my Lord, I have only to say, that I have been surprised at the interruption to the tranquillity of this house by a show of mii. urn. ing— the having a part of this house hung with black, which cannot be completed before Monday night, if so soon, and the proceeding has only been interrupted this day ( Sunday), duriug the time her Majesty's domestic chaplhin performed the Church Service. I trust, my Lord, you will not order her Majesty's funeral before Wednesday or Thursday. next, I w ill only add, m dictated by mysel V iif, Lord, tiiat every word of this letter is and that I have set down nought in LADY IIOOD AND LORD LIVERPOOL. An interesting correspondence took place, last week, between the Ladies of her late Majesty's household and the Earl of Liverpool and Mr. Hobbouse ( Under Seeretary of State), respecting the day appointed for her M ajesty's funeral. On Saturday se'ntiight, Lady Anne Hamilton and Iiady Hoatl wrote to Mr. Hobhouse, stating they htwl only heard that afternoon of the preparations for moving the Queen's remains, and that, as it was imposs- ble to complete tlicir mourriirgdresses before Tuis day nigh', unless the time was changed till Wednesday malice; for mv late beloved mistress ( the Queen) set me a better example: but my conscience will not allow me to continue silent, and I entreat that your Lordship will grant all the requests contained in this letter; and in so doing, be assured I shall ever feel the highest veneration aud esteem, permit me to add affection, for your Lordship, and belive me, my Lord, your humble servant, " J A N E H O O D.

AFFRAY NEAR CUMBERLAND- GATE. I N Q U E S T ON R I C H A R D HONES'.— Wednesday an inquest was held on the man who was shot by the soldiers at Cumberland- gate on Tuesday. Ac immense multitude was assembled early at the place where tbe inquisition was held. After the Jury had been sworn, the Coroner directed that al! persons who intended to be examined as witnesses should withdraw, except the individual about to be first examined. Mr. Alderman Waith. man was present, and took an active part in the proceedings of the day. ' Fen witnesses were examined at considerable length, as to the conduct of the people aud tlie military; and to discover, if possible, the person who shot . tlie' deceased. One of the witnesses deposed, that he saw an officer tire a pistol. The deceased, be said, immediately fell. Shortly after thsotfieer fired thepistel, street, and ont at witness's head with his sword. The blow knocked his hat off, and on picking it up, he found it cut. Two other witnesses said they saw an officer fire,, and described him as a young thin man, wearing a Waterloo medal. Botli thought they could identify him. In the course of the proceedings Mr. Alderman Wait! mi an complained of delay on the pari of the Coroner, in taking the depositions ; and said, that the witnesses should be confronted with all the officers and men of the Life Guards who were on duty on Tuesday, in order to identify the person who so wantonly shot the deceased, and that they should be drawn up in a line, dressed in their uniform for the occasion, lie was determined, notwithstanding al! the obstacles thrown in his way, that justice should be done to the unfortunate object of this wanton and unprovoked outrage. At 20 minutes past ten o'clock, it was found necessary to adjourn the inquest, there being several witnesses to examine; and it was accordingly adjourned till Friday. On that day itrwas resumed, and nine other witnesses were examined, most of whom deposed that they could identify the officer who shot the deceased, if they, Saw him in regimentals. A juryman having expressed a wish that the soldiers should be drawn up in order to afford the witnesses a view of them, the following conversation took place:— T h e CORONER.— I have no a u t h o r i t y over the soldiers I cannot o r d e r them before ns. A J u r y m a n . — I say it is of little use to return a verdict until the parties a r e b e f o r e us. - What use is t h e re in returni n g a verdict o f " wilful m u r d e r " against J a c k - a - N o k e s and T o m - a - S tiles? Mr. S h e r i f f WAITHMAN. — I f a soldier stole a l e g of mutton, his c o m m a n d i n g officer would have the whole regiment drawn up, in o r d e r that the thief might ha identified; arid I hope that less will- not be done where tho life of a human b e i n g is in question. Mr. G R E B N . — A s foreman of t h e J u r y , I request y o u , ME. C o r o n e r , to t a k e measures f o r h a v i n g the'regiment drawn op. T h e CORONER. — A l l I c o u l d do is, to write to the C o m - mander in C h i e f , intimating y o u r request to bim. Mr. HANSON ( Attorney for C o l . C a v e n d i s h , who commanded the L i f e Guards.)—- Under these circumstance* I would not recommend any gentlemen lo come h e r e k> g i v e a v i ew of themselves; but lie certainly would report what th « J u r y wished. T h e F o r e m a n . — I f the request be refused, then f i l e o d i um will rest where it o u g h t to rest. After a good deal of discussion on the subject, the following, motion was drawn up, and- submitted by the Foreman:— W e , the undersigned J u r y m e n , assembled to ascertain the cause of the death of Richard Honey, respectfully request Mr. Stirling, tbe C o r o n e r , to make application to tiie proper authorities, that the troop of L i f e G u a r d s , o? such part of t h em as was on duty in the P a i k at the funeral o f her late Majesty on T u e s d a y last, may be drawn up in such dresses, and on such horses, as they used on that day, for the inspection of the witnesses, in order to see Whether tbey could identify the person who shot the a b o v e deceased." This was signet! by all the jurymen, and handed to the Coroner, with a request that he would take immediate steps to comply with it.— Adjourned till two o'clock on Monday. , I N Q U E S T ON GEORGE FRANCIS.— Another inquest was held on Friday, at the Goat public- house, in Arabella- row, Pimlico, on tlie body of George Francis, who was shot near Tyburn- gate, in the attack bv the military on Tuesday last. Tiie deceased is a stout musj cular man, apparently about 40 years of age. The bail | had entered immediately below the right clavicle. The ! throat, and the right side of the body, were very much discolored. Eight witnesses were examined, from whose evidence, it appeared that the deceased had neither stick nor stone in his hand, and was doing nothing but looking ou when he was shot; that the soldier who fired the fatal shot was not, one of the Blues; and that lie pointed the pistol towards the deceased, who fell immediately on its diecharge,— At a late hour the inquest was adjourned till three o'clock on Monday next- DERBY ASS IA ES.— August 14. — < - } , F A T A L DUE!..-— TRIAL AND A C Q U I T T A L OP A.

At an early hour a great crowd surrounded the County Hall, and the rush, when the doors were opened, was tremendous.

Mr. D E S M A N shortly stated the rase, which oer readers will find fully detailed in The News of the Sd cf June last, page 175. A variety of witnesses were called, who proved the circumstances. under which Caddie lost his life. It appeared that he had received much provocation, but tie prisoners had endeavoured to give him every aisistaaee after he received the wound. Th « prisoners read written defences, in which they declared it to have been their object to prevent the due!*, and procure an apolop v froni the deceased.

After a life embittered by every species of insult aM outrage, and brought prematurely to a close, by the relentless machinations of a murderous faction, CAROLINE of Brunswick is at length beyond the reach of her malignant foes. The mortal remains of England's heroic QUEEN are now removed for ererfrom that land which groans beneath the iron scourge of her oppressors. Tit;! victim whom they robhctl of life, and on whose ashas they have wreaked their puny vengeance, is finally snatched from their grasp; and their malice, Which has hitherto been incessantly occupied either in the infliction of present, or in the concoction of future outrage, is reluctantly compelled to pause. The fiend- like activity with which they have persecuted the Royal Sufferer cannot long remain unemployed ; but, in the short in-*] ! torval between the destruction of this victim, and the selection of the next, it is possible that conscience ( if we do not profane the term by applying it to such men) may hold up a mirror, in which these foes to innocence— those murderers. of their QUKEB— may see their own blood- stained features. If the glass reflect tlie image truly, it will present a picture more hideous than the oyo of man ever beheld, or the imagination of man ever traced. The details which it is our sad duty to record this week, are of a character so repugnant to British feeling,— so revolting to humanity— so degrading lo our common nature, that their very atrocity must stagger the belief of the future historian. The annals of persecution present many shocking instances of cruelty inflicted on its living objects; but it was reserved for the subjects of GEORGE THE FOTRTU to witness, and his ill- fated QCEBN to experience, a vengeance too rancorous to bo satiated even by the death of its victim. But though the indignities offered to the remains of our illustrious QUEEN must tarnish the history of our country, wc feel proud in the assurance that they shall not fix a blot on our national character. riT. cy were perpetrated by those who are the worst enemies of Britain, and they have been reprobated by every man who owns a British heart. Never was public feeling more unequivocally, more honorably, more universally, more triumphantly displayed. That genarous peopla who snatched their injured QUEEN from tha fangs of a base conspiracy, have proved that the sympathy excited in English bosoms by suffering innocence, does not terminate with the life of its object. They have, on this occasion, evinced the same fearless zeal in protecting her ashes from insult, that they formerly displayed in shielding her honor and her life from danger; and signal is the posthumous triumph which they have enabled her to achieve over her malignant persecutors. It will he seen aanong the many shocking outrages on decency and humanity which are recorded in our account of the funeral, tbat an attempt tras made to smuggle the procession through obscure bye- paths in tbe outskirts of London, without passing through the City. This ebullition of pitiful malice was dictated partly by the desire of disappointing the loyal citizens of the metropolis, who, Government well kr. ew, were desirous to pay a last tribute of res| Ht- t and sorrow to tlie remains of their lamented QUEEN ; and partly; to avoid the expression of that flaming indignation which was kindled in the public mind by the eager haste with which the Royal Remains were removed from the country, and the absence, not only of all Royal State, but even of ail decent respect, in the conduct of the fun « rul obsequies. ' Phe route^ of the precession, was officially chalked out— the order waspremptory, and squadrons of military guards were employed to enforce i t ; but after a vain attempt, in which blood was wantonly and profusely shed, the Public triumphed, and compelled the procession to quit the skulking route which j t had been ordered to pursue, and to pass through the City! Of all the defeats which the malevolence of her MAJESTY'S enemies has sustained, this is probably the most mortifying, and the most degrading— it is gall and wormwood. They had so often repeated the falsehood that the QUEEN was not the object of the people's affection, that they had perhaps began to believe it themselves; but in this testimony of g- errerous attachment, and in the spontaneous sorrow for her fate and respect for l. er memory, evinced by every class of society in the metropolis,. they see the lie given to their false, assertions:. they are compelled to ". believe and tremble," like those kindred spirits in other regions, on whom conviction is flashed by the awful realities that deprive them cf hope.— On the subsequent indignities offered to the remains of this Illustrious Princess, in the race to Harwich, and in the embarkation at that place, we can offer no remarks ; for our human nature loathes the task of analyzing the diabolical motives from which such rancorous and gratuitous barbarity proceeds. The feelings of our readers- will not require any excitement on the perusal of tbe shocking details. THE KING'S VISIT TO IRELAND. The King landed in Ireland on his birth- day. His Majesty landed at a point at which he was not expected by the public, and at which, consequently, no preparation had been made for his Majesty's reception. He laisded at Howth, at halt- past four o'clock, where he was received by Sir B. Bloomfield, and an immense concourse of the inhabitants of Dublin, amidst the loudest cheers. The King gracefully acknowledged the enthusiastic reception ; aud, after condescendingly shaking hands witli several persons who pressed near him, he entered his carriage, and drove off for the seat of the Lord Lieutenant, iu the Phtenia Park. { DUBLIN, AUG. 14.—[ Private Letter.]— The bustle, agitation, and spirit of Dublin have increased since the arrival of his Majesty; the streets are nearly impassable, every lodging- house and hotel is crowded. A Gazctfe Extraordinary was published late this evening, by which I perceive that his Majesty intends to hold a Public Levee at the Castle, on Monday the 2flth instant: and a Drawing Room at the Castle, on Tuesday evening, at nine o'clock. " N. 15. It is not expected by his Majesty that persons shall appear in mourning on the day of his pujlic entry into Dublin, nor on any of the days of piib- We beg the attention of our readers to the Inques's, now sitting on the bodies of tlie men who were shot by the military on Tuesday last. From the evidence hitherto adduced, it is satisfactorily proved, that the firingwas not justfied by any act of violence on the part of tlie people. It wiil not surprise us to see these Inquests terminate in the same manner as that at Oldham, if the individuals who shot these men can he identified. The squadron, with her Majesty's remains, was not expected to sail till'yesterday, or to- day. We were yesterday informed that the Blues had refused to share the London duty with the Life Guards. Certain it is, that the Life Guards have been relieved by another troop of the same Regimen!. We have reason to believe that there must lie some foundation for the rumour, for the Courier vel. ej- iei t! y asserts its falsehood. LLOYD'S LIST.— We malts the following short extracts from Lloyd's List of Friday night. The juxtaposition of tbe two events which they record suggests striking reflections:— " HARWICH.— Sailed for Elbe, Glasgow frigate, with the remains of her lute Majesty on board, acccompanied by several ships of war." " DUBLIN— Arrived, lightning ( now Royal George the Fburth), steam pa- ket. Captain Skinner, Holyhead, with tiie King and suite on board." Ons of the band of the Sawyers' pnxwion was brought io the . Middlesex. Hospital at two o'clock on Tuesday. He was cut through the hi-. t on the forehead. He is an cut- patient. George Francis, of 7, Kingsgate- street, Tlolborn, who was carried into'St. George's Hospital, has died of the wound ho received from a pistol- ball, firwl by one of the Lie Guards, near Cumberland- gate, lie has left a wife aud throe children to deplore his loss. We are happy to announce that a Subscription is opened for the widows ami families of the men killed by the military, on Tuesday, the 14th instant. The inhabitants of Whitechapel have, within the last day or two, been thrown - into the. greatest dismay and alarm, on account of a Sir. Edward Wild, clerk to Messrs. J . and E. Cohen, merchants, Great St. Helen's, having been waylaid and most inhumanly murdered on Friday night. Mr. Wild has left a wifo asu three. young children to bewail his loss. COURT OF CHANCERY, Sui& rday, Aug. 18. This morning, as soon as the Lord Chancellor entered his private room, it was intimated to Mr. Shadwell and others, that he was prepared to give judgment in the matter of the Marquis of Townsend v. the Bishop of Norwich and others, fora species of simonaioal contract. Tlie Noble and Learned Lord held, that the contract in question could not be sustained ; and it was accordingly set usids. by- the order of the Court. ' THEATRES. ENGLISH OPERA- HOUSE.— A new Opera, entitled The Miller's Maid, was produced here on Thursday night, and very favorably received by the audience; but the interest which it excites Is of too painful a nature, and the distress in which the principal personages are involved, is of a description too gross and revolting to permit the drama to become popular,' notwithstanding the admirable performance of Mr. EMERY, Mr. COOKE, and Miss KELLY, in their respective characters. The plot ( for the detail of which we have not room this week) . is taken from one of BLooui'ir. lift's poems. HAYHAUKET.— Tlie new Comedy of Rite and Fall, which was produced last week at this charming Little Theatre, continues its successful career with undiminished attraction; overy night being, ia theatrical phrase, a bumper. The indefatigable proprietors, however, being desirous of securing the extensive patronage of their staunch frienda the public, have resolved upon bringing forth in the course of a few days another new Comedy, entitled Matih- Making," a/ 1d of which Green- room report spesks in decided term* of hiarh i pjrobntjor. ic ceremonials or festivities which may take place during the period of his Majesty's residence in Ireland." The following has been fixed as the manner iri which his Majesty will apportion his time up to the 30th instant :— FRIDAY, 17.— His Majesty will make his public entry into the City. SATURDAY, 18.— He wiil attend a Grand Review in the Phoraix Parle. SUNDAY, 10.— He wiil attend Divine Service, proceeding in state to Christ Church. MONDAY, 20.— First Levee at the Castle. TUESDAY, 21.— Evening Drawing- room. WEDNESDAY, 22.— His Majesty will attend the Theatre. THURSDAY, 23.— He will visit tlie Bank of. Ireland and some of the Public Institutions, and ainc v, ith tlie Lord Mayor at the Mansion- house. FUIDAY, 24.— Visit to the Institutions continued. MONDAY, 27.— His Majesty will dine at the University of Dublin. TUESDAY, 28.— The Grand Installation of the Knights of St. Patrick will take place, followed by a dinner in St. Patrick's Hull, al the Castle. WEDNESDAY, 29.— His Majesty will attend tlie Turf Mi.- eling at the Cnrragh of Kildare. THURSDAY, 30.— A Grand Dress Ball at the Castle. The Castle- yard has this day been crowded with persons of distinction, leaving their names as inquirers after his Majesty's health. The Marquis of Londonderry was conspicuous in the throng. He was followed by a vast number of persons, and on one occasion was cheered by some of the Castle- yard placemen and expectants— I have little doubt, men whose servility would carry tiiem to any lengths,- however degrading to their counf ry and to themselves. I was in the Oastle- ynrd when this disgusting exhibition took place. I am far from entertaining towards the object of this most unnatural adulation any feeling of personal hostility— far from it—! know aud respect the brilliant parts of his character— his manly courage— his fascinating polished manners in public, and I have often heard, that in private there is no better man— but he is the man that turned a parricidal hand upon his country— be was the instrument of her degradation— lie broke down her spirit, and prostrated, I fear for ever, her independence.— Every one knows that the Union gave a death blow to Ireland, and that the odious measure was carried at a moment of national weakness by the most scandalous and profligate means. To see the author of that measure cheered near the very spot which, through his means, the independence of Ireland was laid low, exceeds anv thing we can read of in the vilest days of Roman debasement. Brutus was obliged to fly from Rome after striking down the tyrant. Socrates was sacrificed, and Thcuiistocles was banished bv the ungrateful Athenians; but where is there an instance of a people following and fawning upon the author of their own misery ? It is not so here; tlie voice of a sen ile and abject set of place- hunters wiil not be taken, I trust, for the voice of the eoniMy at Large. Should any improper use be made of the circumstance, you certainly. may with great safety say that tiie cheers which tlie Noble Marquis received were very partial. The procession, it is now generally believed, will take place on Friday ; the ceremonies to be performed will be similar to those which would have taken place had his Majesty landed at Dunleary. It is supposed his Majesty will leave the Park about one o'clock, and will proceed from thence by the Circular- road, tlirongh Eccles- street, Hardwicke- place, Temple- street. Gardiner's- row. Gi- n. it Denmark- street, into Rutland- square, along Cavendishrow, Sackville- street, Westmorland- street, College- green, and Dame- street, to the Castle. At that part of Cavendish- row adjoining the Rotunda, and which forms the confines of the city and county of Dublin, a barrier will be erected, and a splendid Triumphal Arch raised, beneath which his Majesty will receive the Lord Mayor, the Kecorder, Sheriffs, Board of Aldermen, and Common Council, by the former of whom he will be presented with the keys of the City, which having returned, lie wiil pass the barrier; and the Proccssion will proceed, • joined by the Corporation in full slate. His Majesty will bc- accompanied from the Park by the Great Officers of State, those of his Household who are in attendance, the Foreign Ambassadors', and the Nobility, who have been honored by invitations from him. A dinner, at which one thousand persons are expected to attend, is to be held in honor of his Majesty's arrival, sonic day next wiwk. Alderman Smyth, Mr. William Humphries, and Mr. Daniel O'Cor. nell, have been appointed stewards to arrange the preparations. The town will bo illuminated on the day of the Grand Entry. Brilliant fire- works will be let off from Nelson's Pillar. - - " s r . — ^ ^ ^ ^ .262 FUNERAL OF HER LATE MAJESTY. [ Continued from 3d page.] Kelcedm, Wednesday, Three o'clock, p. v.— The procession has just arrived. W hen it left Chelmsford, the greater part of the population went along with it— the gentry all dressed in decent mourning, and the laboring classes either in black, or in their best holiday clothes. The procession, contrary to the practice of yesterday, w^ s closed by a small squadron of the 4th Light Dragoons. The cavalcade of horsemen at this place is immense; and as it is j mostly formed of substantial farmers, assumes a very im- [ posing appearance. The horses aTe baiting to proceed on ! immediately to Colchester. The pace at tbe beginning of j the day was as rapid as yesterday, but seems latterly to have I somewhat abated in its speed. Colchester, Wednesday night, 12 o'clock.— Her Majesty's remains had been hurried with such indGcent precipitation from Hammersmith, that time was not even allowed for settling and affixing tbe plate which contained the account of her age aud station on her coffin. A Latin inscription we certainly saw, and a plate containing it was said to have been ready in the pocket of the undertaker; but Dr. Lushington, as one of her late Majesty's executors, had declared to Lord Liverpool that he would object to it, and accordingly it was not affixed. The Learned Doctor had, at the sains time, expressed a desire to have the inscription proposed in her Majesty's will adopted; aud to that proposition his Lordship replied, that if the legend in question were to be inscribed on her Majesty's coffin, it must be done by the exeoutors, and not considered as having obtained tbe approbation of Government. This did not amount, in the opinion of her Majesty's executors, to an absolute prohibition, and accordingly, having provided a plate with the testamentary words, " Deposited, Caroline of Brunswick, the injured Queen of England," they chose this, as the hist stage of the funeral procession, fo screw it on. The church was the only place where this could be done, and in the church it was done, after much altercation. Sir G. . Nayler objected. He called Mr. Thomas, of the Lord Chamberlain's office, who likewise objected : the Undertaker joined in tbe protest, and the Clergyman, and some persons who called themselves magistrates, entered into such arguments as they could employ against Dr. Lushington. The learned Doctor and Mr. Wilde conducted themselves with great moderation and propriety, declining useless altercation, and requesting an express to be sent to London, to ascertain the commands of Government. This arrangement we dill not hear was agreed to, but before, the Executors left the church t'ney obtained an engagement from the undertaker that the plate should not be removed in the night. Six o'clock, A. ST.— The procession has just passed. The plate, containing the inscription which was put on | her late Majesty's coffin last night, has this morning been taken off. For the remorseless indecency and indignity of this proceeding the Government conductors ofthe funeral now at last pletid an order from the. Prime Minister. An answer has been received from Lord Liverpool, stating, that as Government bad undertaken the charge of the funeral, which the executors had renounced, ha conceived that while her Majesty's remains were in this country, they ( the executors) had no right to interfere with any part of the management or arrangements. As soon as they arrived at Stadt, in Germany, they might gj do in this matter what they thought proper. On this answer being received, tiie undertakers immediately proceeded fa> remove the affecting inscription, which contained too nitfoli truth and feeling to receive the sanction of Government. The act was done by a constable of . Colchester, at the desire of those who were entrusted with the custody of the body last night. ARRIVAL OF THE FUNERAL PROCESSION, AND EMBARKATION OF HER LATE MAJESTY'S REMAINS. Harwich, Thursday Morning.— At half- past eleven the procession arrived, at this place.. It was met on tbe outside of the town by a detachment of the ' 86th, of about 150 men, with a stand of colours and band. Th « * crowds of well- dressed people in mourning who were waiting on the slopes of the fort, and on the edges of the road, certainly expected a procession of a very different kind from that which wound down the hill into the town, after the assurance given by Lord Liverpool to Lady Hood, that the funeral should be conducted with decency, order, and in a becoming manner. The procession as it entered Harwich was literally such as now mentioned. A small advanced guard- of cavalry prccedod ; Mr. Chittenden, the undertaker, on a lame horse, headed; ten undertakers on horseback, in pairs—- a miserable spectacle, both as to cattle, dress, and persons, some with shoes, some with gaiters, others in boots,' some in spurs, others not— followed their leader. Three mourning coaches and six, one of which contained the real directors ami lords of this strange ceremony, Mr. Bailey and Mr. Thomas; the two others, containing the servants of the Queen's Household, caine next. Mr. Bailey is the head undertaker, and Mr. Thomas is the deputy of the non- existent Lord Chamberlain. About 25 cavalry, 4th Dragoons, followed. Then came her Majesty's own carriage, drawn by six bay horses, containing Sir George Nayler, his companion, the cushion and crown ; the crown, a tawdry bauble, decorated with white beads, strung round in a manner that would have disgraced a country stage. Then followed the hearse, drawn by eight black horses. No plumes on the horses— a few paltry feathers on the hearse. No plateaus of plumes carried, as is the case almost at all respectable funerals. The Royal Arms were still left upon the hearse, but all the escutcheons, " if there ever had been any, were removed from the horses. No attendants of heralds or marshal's men THE NEWS. Two undertaker's men on foot graced this part of the procession, and the same number of cavalry as had pre-' ceded the Queen's carriage followed the body. Nine mourning coaches, containing Lord Hood, Ladv Hood, and Lady Anne Hamilton, and those of her Majesty's family enumerated in former accounts, were next seen : one appeared to contaiu undertaker's men, and another nothing but luggage. The wretched appearance of the carriages, of tbe horses, of the drivers, and of the trappings, surprised every spectator. Then followed tbe private carriage of Mr. Brougham, containing Mr. Brougham and Sir Robert Wilson. Near this carriage were remarked Mr. Hume and Mr. Hobhouse, who had attended the funeral from London. A mourning coach and six succeeded, apparently empty. Then came Lord Hood's private carriage and four. Lady Perceval's ( the wife of Lord Perceval) carriage and pair came next. The carriage of Mr. Saville of Colchester, with that gentleman and another in it. Dr. Lushington's empty carriage. The Rev, Mr. Fonnereau's family, of Christchurch Park, Ipswich, in an open barouch and four. An empty gig. These equipages, brought up by another detachment of dragoons, eloscd the " decent,*' " orderly," and " becoming" funeral of the Queen of England— the wife, as the new inscription says, of tho most potent Monarch George the Fourth!! But if the reader be astonished at the foregoing details, how will he be surprised at what ensued! The executors, suite, and friends of her late Majesty, were kept in entire ignorance of the intention of Government as to the embarkation, either as to time or place. The. ladies who had got into the carriage before six o'clock, knew not whether they wera to proceed ou board immediately, oi^ stay for refreshment. The procession, as before described, marched into the town. The dragoons preceding played the Dead March in Saul on their trumpets. I he infantry, with arms reversed, took up the tune, going before the cavalry.— The infantry had one staud of colors; the cavalry, we think, two standards. Tho head of the procession arrived on the jetty before I^ ord Hood, the executors, or any person knew what was to take place. The troops drew up, opened their ranks, and formed a line on each side. Mr. Chittenden and his ten men dismounted ; and it then, for the first time, appeared that the body was to be instantly removed. Mr. Wilde, the only person authoritatively employed by her late Majesty who was to be seen,, was on foot near the jetty. This gentleman, the executor of her Majesty, was at first stopped, " and had to get permission, of a deputy to follow the Royal body as the coffin was carried down the jetty; and the favor was afterwards extended to Mr. Hobhouse aud to Mr. Hume, who stood by him. ' I'he. soldiers and constables kept back the crowd. All the latter part of the procession, except the Queen's coach, and tho hearse, were necessarily far behind. The Queen's coach now drew up, and Sir G. Nayler and his companion got out. The crown and cushion were previously handed out to an undertaker's man, who carried it tottering, apparently unaccustomed to carry cnowns, and stood alone without a single attendant near him in front. The hearse drew up next, anil Mr. Chittenden, and bis ten slip- shod undertakers, dragged the Royal coffin from the carriages They raised it on their shoulders, and moved off, preceded only by Mr. Chittenden, without waiting a single instant, down the jetty. It is. scarcely credible, but it is a fact, that not a single attendant of any description— no military officer—- no civil functionary! no, not a soul attended the Royal corpse. No pal!— no plumes. We have never seen even a pauper's coffin so unattended. A decent man would have thought that, as i? the practice at every funeral, some little stop would have been made to allow Lord Hood and the. Ladies of her Majesty's household to come up and follow their Royal mistress. But no : the botly and the undertakers had advanced" full 30 yards, and wore on tlie edge of the outer jetty before Lord Hood could get from his carriage, and hurry after the coffin. ' I'ho next carriage, containing Lady Hood and Lady A. Hamilton, was opened in haste by some common fellow, and there being no person to receive them, either civil, military, or of the Queen's household, Lady Hood nearly fell on her face, the undertakers proceeding ali this time witli their burden. Lady Hood and Lady Anne Hamilton stood alone, looking round them, at a loss, apparently, whither to go or what to do, Mr. Hume and Mr. Hoblious, e came back in haste from their position on the edge of the jetty, where they stood with Mr. Wilde. Mr. Hume gave his arm to Lady Hood, Mr. Hobhouse to Lady Anri » Hamilton, and followed Lord Hood. The body still was carried forward. By this indecent haste, neither Dr. Lushington nor Mr. Brougham, nor any of those more immediately connected with her Majesty, could join the body until this unpolled coffin was slipped off the undertakers' shoulders upon the slings and under the crane, that in a minute or two swung it from'the shore. Be it recollected, that this part of. the ceremony, as far as regarded England, was in fact tbe funeral of her Majesty. Not even Mr. William Austin, the residuary legatee, could Come up to be a mourner in the procession of five! Mr. Brougham, Dr. Lushington, Mr. Alderman Wood, Sir. R. Wilson, ( who had travelled post from Paris on purpose to attend),— not one of these gentlemen, nor any of the suite, could come up except just in time to see the slings wound round tlie coffin. It was at this moment, that in the faces of all the ladies and gentlemen above- mentioned, the deepest grief was depicted. Not a person refrained from shedding tears. The vulgar hands that were hustling about the last rites of departed Majesty added to the horror andworrow ef the scene. Some naval officers, who had taken their station previously on tiie jetty, seemed much affected. The band which had preceded tlie coffin played the dead march. This was the only tribute of homage which distinguished tlie ceremony; but this is granted to a grenadier. The barge of the Glasgow frigate, bearing Hie half- hoisted standard of England, with its commander, Captain Doyle, had been drawn under the point of the jetty, and six other men of war's boats attended on tlie outside ready to tow it off. . A few minutes before twelve, the body was raised by the crane. At that instant Landguard fort fired tbe first minute gun. The coffin was lowered into the ( I'a. iQ'ow'b bafge. A loud shriek anhotmceil that a female had fainted in one of the many boats that surrounded tlie point of the jetty crowded with spectators; and the most painful anxiety and death- like stillness prevailed amongst those who, from all the surrounding points, as well as the vessels, were able to witness tbe last melancholy scene. A period of deeper interest, mingled with horror and disgust, never occurred on any civilized ceremony in any age or country. The coffin ivas in the barge, and the barge, and the spectators could now see that the newsilver plate had replaced the gilt plate ordered by her Majesty's will, which was affixed by the executors, and torn off by the orders of those persons who had, agreeably to bis Majesty's instructions, declared their determination to fulfil " her last wishes. Sir George Nayler, Mr. Chittenden, Mr. Bailey, and Mr. Thomas, now carried tha crown and cushion into the barge, and placed them on the head of the coffin ; and these worthy gentlemen were the only persons who were allowed ' to ac. company the Queen's remains from the shore. Thus a single herald, an undertaker, a deputy undertaker, and a nondescript from the Chamberlain's office, without a signed order, paid the last honor to the departed Queen of England. The barge was quickly towed off surrounded by the men of war's boats to the. Pioneer schooner, avessol employed in the preventive service, which instantly hoisted the royal standard, and made sail out of the harbor to join the Glasgow frigate, which lay two miles east of Landguard fort. As soon as Lord Hood could recover from the agitation of the melancholy scene, his attention was directed to his own situation and that of his wife, and of Lady Anne Hamilton, and the others of her late Majesty's household. His Lordship, besides tlie distressing circumstances of the scene described, had been much affected by the sight of Mr. Mason, midshipman on duty in the barge of the Tyne. The father of this young gentleman commanded the Jupiter, tho sliip that brought the Queen to England; and Lord Hood was also struck by tbe other strange coincidence, that Captain Doyle, who. was now in charge of her Majesty's remains to convey them from England, was the very midshipman who handed the rope to her Majesty on her ascending tho man of war that brought her to England. Up to this eriod no one had communicated t » Lord Hood when or ow he was to attend the Royal Corpse. Mr. John Calvert, Member of Parliament for Huntingdon, who had made his appearance for the first time this morning, and who was understood to have full powers from Government to. attend and direct tho remainder of this disgraceful proceeding, was observed upon the jetty. Lord Hood turned to this gentleman, and asked if he knew in what manner ho and her late Majesty's Housobold werft to proceed from Stadt to Brunswick, and afterwards return to England. Mr. Calvert said he knew nothing of the matter. Lord Hood then remonstrated, and Said, thai unless he knew there was some provision for their progress and return, h'e should not proceed. Captain White, of the Tyne frigate, most feelingly and politely assured his. Lordsliip hu believed a ship of war would attend his Lordship's return at Stadt: as to his progress he of course knew nothing; but Mr. Calvert still professed ignorance as to the whole matter. Since this, however, Captain White communicated an order from the Admiralty, which satisfied his Lordship that a ship will be ready to bring him back. It might have been expected that boats would have been prepared to take him at the time. A short time afterwards his Lordship and his Lady, Lady Anne Hamilton, Dr. and Mrs- Lushington, Count Vassali, and young Austin, embarked on board the boats of one of the schooners in the offing, and immediately proceeded to the vessel which had been prepared for their reception, and which, a few minutes after she had reached it, hoisted its sails aud left the harbor to join the rest of tbe squadron. Such was the beggarly manner in which those wVo wield the power of great Britain thought fit to dismiss from its shore the body of their lato Queen. But the line of conduct which they in their folly thought it expedient to pursue, served only to render the affection with which the people regarded her remains more clear and powerful by the contrast. The whole population of the neighbouring villages seemed poured out to tike their last farewell of this member of tbe House of Brunswick. The neighbouring hills and forts, viewed from the river itself, appeared to be crowned by a black mass of living mourners, whilst on the river itself every vessel, yacht, and fishing boat that could be procured, was occupied by persons soliciting to catch a parting glimpse ofthe loved remains of her in whose calamities they had long felt a lively sympathy. The situation in which we were when the coffin was lowered into the boat prepared for it, enabled us to observe that the friction occasioned by the indecent rapidity with which it was hurried along the road, had not only torn asunder, but had absolutely torn off the bottom of it, the crimson velvet which was placed there for the purpose of ornament. On the crown being lowered into the boat, it immediately proceeded to the Pioneer schooner, and was followed at a short distance by numbers of the boats which had previously been stationed around the jetty, and of which several had arrived from the neighbouring ports, filled with most respectable individuals. ' I'he coffin, on the boat's reaching the schooner, was hoisted on board and received by a party of marines with arms reversed.— The crown and cushion immediately followed, and with some little show of decency; the pall was, however, thrown out of the boat to the sailors on deck by one of tiie three gentlemen who had it in charge, with no more connoiiy than if it had been his cloak. Almost before THE NEWS. rsjsssTy^ ar^^ smfmems^ i^ rs^^ mwvr^ m ' 203 the body was safe on deek, the sailors were busily employed in unfurling the sails, and in less than ten minutes the Pioneer was under sail to join the Glasgow frigate, which is to carrv the royal corpse over to Germany. It ' was followed part, if not the whole, of the way out to sea bv a body of musicians, as we were informed, from Ipswich; in a boat, playing funeral marches, the melody of which, softened as'it was by being heard over the water, inspired a general melancholy, not inappropriate to the solemnity of the scene. All the vessels in the roads had their colors half mast high. We understand that Mr. Brougham and Aid. Wood proceed, the first by Dover, the latter by Helvoetsluys, to attend the funeral in Brunswick. Half- past Four o'clock, P. M.— The schooner is approaching the Glasgow frigate; the Queen's household have just reached the vessel destined to receive them; the other ships composing the funeral squadron have weighed anchor, and are proceeding to join the Glasgow; the mourning eoaclies are removing from the shore; the dragoons and infantry have proceeded to their quarters; the friends of her Majesty are coming to the beach to snatch a last view of the ship that conveys her awav from the hind of her sufferings; the wind is favorable for Germany, and the lessening sail will soon disappear.

C H E L M S F O R D , FRIDAY, AUG. 10, MURDER BY POISON. James Emery was indicted for the wilful miiriUr of Sarah King, on the 29th of May last, at White Nottley, in this county, by administering to her a quantity of arsenic, of which site died in a few hours. This ease excited uncommon interest from the atrocity of its circumstances— the murder of an unhappy girl who had been seduced and become pregnant by the prisoner. Mr. KNOX end Mr. BRODRICK conducted the prosecution. The facts proved in evidence were these:— The prisoner, a weH- looking man about 25 years of age, a laborer in the employment of a gentleman in the adjoining parish to White Nottley, had paid bis addresses to the deceased, a young woman under 20; and having seduced her, she became pregnant. About a week before the transaction in question, the prisoner came to see the deceased, and they conversed together at the back of the house. A young sister of the deceased, knowing her situation, listened to the conversation. She heard the deceased say to the prisoner, " Emery, I am with child by you." The prisoner said, " If you like any body better than me, you may swear the child to him."— The deceased said, " You know I have not beeil with any other person but yourself: and therefore 1 shail swear it to you," They parted apparently very good friends. On the 29th of May, in the evening, about G o'clock, the prisoner came again, and conversed with the deceased in the parlor. Their conversation was overheard by the younger sister, who listened at the door. When tiie prisoner went in, he said to the deceased, " How do you do?" She said, " I am worse." He replied, " O! " you arc worse, are you? 1 have brought yeu a box of pilll, and 1 will give you a pound note if you will take them." The deceased said she would take them. He left her a box of pills containing about twelve, and went away. About eight o'clock the deceased went to bed, having eaten a hearty supper of boiled cabbage. Before going to bed she took- seven of the pills. In the course of the night she awoke, in great torture, and was violently sick. ' The pain increased so much, that she sent her little sister to a neighbouring public- house to get her a half quartern of gin, which, she took in some warm water. This aggravated her pain. She then told her sister to take two phials which had contained some stuff of the prisoner's prescribing, and which she had previously taken, and the pill box, and hide them in a field at the back of the house, and tit the same time said, " Why should Emery " be hanged?— Emery will be hanged.— They will hang Emery," or words to that effect. Her pain continuing to increase, she sent her sister to get some beer. The girl went, and when she returned in about ten minutes, she found the deceased a corpse. On opening her body, it was found that her death was produced by arsenic. The remainder of the pills which she had not taken, on being analyzed, were found to contain six grains of arsenic each ; and in the opinion of the surgeon, one half of a single pill would have producetl death. The father of the deceased, who was a laboring man, was not aware of the courtship of his daughter with the p r i s o n e r a n d at'the time of her death, was gone teJiis daily, labor. As soon as the girl's death became tal* M. of, the pr^ sonec absconded with ii few of his clotiies,: selling the- remaintlffto a fellow- servant. f t was proved that, about a fortnight before the girl died, had been inquiring t/ i. a blacksmith in tlie neighbourhood what was the host mode of procuring a miscarriage; but the. blacksmith refused to tell him. He then went to Chelmsford, and bought, half an ounce of nux vomica, and the same quantity of arsenic from a horse- doctor, under pretence that he wanted to destroy the rats and mice which infested his room, and knawed his clothes hutch, and his wearing apparel. This in fact turned out by the evidence of his fellowservant to be false; for there were no rats or mice in his room, neither had bis clothes hutch nor wearing apparel been injured- It was impossible to ascertain what iiad been in the bottles which the prisoner had sent to tbe deceased; but it appeared that she had been taking the contents for about a week before her death. When the prisoner was told of the girl's death, he said " ' [ l i en 4 shall hjrJbad. up before the magistrates." He admitted to his j^ H& jjervaiit that he had- taken a bqtne of stuff to the ( leefowed- v; On a subsequent occasion, after he had absconded, he said to one- of the witnesses examined, at a pubJie house in lloxw- ell parish, •' I dare say you have heard that I have come away on account of that cursed wetich who w a s poisoned at Nottley." Toanothcr witness be said he had got the stuff' for the girl, but that he did not give it. her with an intention to do her an v injury. Mr. Toinkin, a surgeon, and Mr. Baker, an operative chymist, were of opinion that the deceased came to her death by arsenic. The prisoner being called upon for his defence, said, " I have nothing to say. I am quite innocent of what the girl says. I did not do it." Mr. Justice BURROUGH charged the J u r y in point of law, that if they should be of opinion that the prisoner administered the poison to the deceased, though it was not done with intent to kill or murder her, hut with a view of procuring miscarriage, yet inasmuch as that would be an illegal act, the prisoner must take the" consequences if death ensued; and there was no material distinction whether the woman was quick with child or not. If the prisoner had administered the poison, he was guilty of murder. The Jury immediately found the prisoner Guilty. The Learned Judge then passod sentence of death, and he was ordered for execution on Monday. The prisoner was resigned to his fate, and appeared very little affected. MURDER BY STRANGULATION. William A/ cers was indicted for the wilful murder of Patience Ellis, single woman, by strangling her with a pocket handkerchief, at Wickham Bishops, in this county, on the 19th Juse. The prosecution was conducted by Mr. WALPORD and Mr. BRODRICK, and the defence by t h e COMMON SERGEANT a n d Mr- C i : it w o o n . I t appeared in evidence, that the deceased, who was about thirty- five years of age, had for many years been an helpless cripple, incapable of doing any thing to assist herself. _ She lived with her mother. The prisoner lodged in the same house, in which there was also another lodger. About six weeks before the 19th June, tbe day fhe deceased died, she had been poorly, and confined to her bed, but was on that day observed to be bet ter. On that day about two o'clock, the deceased and the prisoner were left alone; shortly afterwards he charged a girl, the granddaughter of the deceased's mother, who also lived in the houses, not to disturb the deceased, aud left the house. After, some interval, tlie granddaughter went into the room of the deceased and found her dead. She g?. ve an alarm, upon which the prisoner and other persons came in and examined the body, which exhibited various marks of violence, . which were then thought to be the effects of mortification. The prisoner soon after went into the village, and communicated the death of the deceased, and although not re-' quested to do so, bespoke a coffin for her, giving the. size of it, and desiring that no one should measure or examine the body. At his request the corpse was two days afterwards enclosed, and he himself screwed down the coffin. At the " request of the granddaughter, the coffin. was opened again, hutsooii. ftiste, neddown. Shortly after it xtm said that the defeased had been pregnant, in consequence of which the body was examined again by a medical man, who declared that she probabiv died of dropsy. In a day or two subsequently, in conse* quence of reports of a disagreeable nature becoming prevalent/ the body was again examined by another surgeon, who was of opinion that, she had died by violence, and that she was eight months gone with child. A coroner's inquest was then summoned, the prisoner saying that he should like to be on Jhe Jury. He afterwards declared that the deceased had hung " herself, t h a t h e had found her suspended from the tester of the bed, and had with his own hands cut her down. It appeared that the tester of the bed could not possibly liavij supported the weight of the deceased. The next day the prisoner was apprehended, upon which he acknowledged that he was the father of the child of which the deceased wgs pregnant, and produced a silk handkerchief with which he declared she had destroyed herself. This was the substance of the evidence. A great number of witnesses were called to prove the different circumstances upon which the charge against the prisoner rested. The prisoner in his defence said he was innocent, and that his motive for concealing. the manner of tlie deceased's death was to prevent, her being buried irt the highway for suicide. One witness, who had known the prisoner for- 20 years, gave him a good character for humanity and kindness of disposition. • The Learned Judge summed up the evidence for the Jury with minuteness and precision. He desired them to take the whole case into their consideration, and if they bad any doubts, to let those doubts operate in favor of the prisoner. T h e ' J u r y immediately found the prisoner Guilty, and sentence of ^ eath being passed upon him, he was ordered for' execution on Monday. The prisoner was perfectly composed dtiring the whole trial, which lasted from. nine in the morning until halfpast three in the afternoon. YORK, FRIDAY, AUGUST 10. PETIT T ' REASON.— The trial of Ajine liarber, chnrired with the wilful murder of her husband, James Barber, of Rothwell, near Leeds, by administering poison to him, came on this morning, at nine o'clock. The enormity, and; fortunately, the rare occurrence of the dreadful crime excited an- unusual degree of interest.. and the Court was much crowded, particularly with ladies, at an :.: early hour. The prisoner is a very ordinary looking woman, 45 5 years of age,, and when brought to the bar, she seemed | less affected than might, have been expected from the > dreadful situation in which slle was placed. The indict- ",' liwnt charged her with petit treason, in traitorously administering poison to her husband, and thereby wiifufh murdering . him. The prisoner pleaded not guiltv, in a , firm, and rather loud tone of' voice. The, COIMI: e! u ? J! the prisoner, requested that no person ' residing yuhin j • the neighbourhood should be sm OTn upon tin; Jtuvt,- . which suggestion Was attended to. j H^ SSSaeamBBHeBBH S Counsel for the prosecution, Mr. Hardy,. Mr. Maude.. 3 — Counsel for the prisonor, Mr. Jones. | Mr. Block ton, the Attorney,, produced an attested 1 co| iy from the parish register of Itothwell,. of tlie marsi riag. c of the prisoner. I I Mr. Uind. le,. surgeoni of Oull'on,. opened and examined, the body of the deceased,. on Sunday,, the 18th of March. Ha found the coats of the stomach very much corroded, and exhibiting strong signs of inflammation. He attributed the death ef the deceased to mineral poison, which, he said; would produce the effects which be described ; from the coats of the stomach he took a portion of white, arsenic : witness clearly ascertained it to be that. drug by tbe- application of the usual t e s t s . . The lungs were very black, which was a proof of the presence of mineral poison.. The external appearance of the body presented every indication of the death, having been produced by poison. The death of the deceased- took place on Saturday morning about four o'clock. Mr. G.. B. fteinhardt, a chemist and druggist, at Wakefield, stated that the prisoner came to his shop here tween one and two o'clock in the afternoon of Friday, S the 18th' of March, and asked for a pennyworth of merit cury, ( tho usual name by which arsenic is asked for); he i inquired for what purpose, it was wanted, and she an- 1 swered for the purpose of poisoning mice.. Witness gave H. her six drachms of arsenic. S Several witnesses spike to the deceased being in his I . usual state of health on the day preceding his death. - | A neighbour of the deceased, who had accidentally p gone into tiie house about nine o'clock in tbe evening | before his death, found him extremely ill, and com- | plaining of- great pain, in the bowels. He advised the 1 prisoner to send'for a doctor, but she refused, saying it I was of no use, as her husband would be- dead- Before- | morning. | Evidence was then gone into to show that the prisoner 1 and a young . man of the name of Win. Thompson, who I had lived as a lodger in the house, cohabited together, | and that she had eloped with him, andiived with him for j SJ about a week at Potovens, when the owner of the house | $ finding, they were not man and wife, refused to let them j remain there any long- fr. She then returned to her husband, who had the good- nature, or rather the extreme folly, to receive her, and to allow Thompson still to live' iii the house with them. This continued until within about a month of the death of the deceased,, i when the neighbours, who were indignant at these pro- I ceedings, manifested such open displeasure at him, that he thought it necessary to remove. I George Wadsworth, the son of the constable, stated that the prisoner was placed under his tare at a public- i house at Itothwell; on the 20th of March, and that he made her no promise to induce lrcr to make any confes- I sion, but that she, of. her own free- will, said to him, • | " 1 must tell you ail the truth aflout it." She then ' proceeded to. say, that she went to Wakefield on Friday, the 10th of March, and " bought a pennyworth of mef- , cury at Mr. Rein'nardt's shop ; that, when she got home ' in the evening, she put half of it in some warm ale and sugar, aud gave the drink to her husband with an intent to kill him, because she was stalled ( tired) of him. She added' that Thompson had promised her marriage when any thing ailed'Jfunes. The prisoner had beeri a ' few hours in his custody when she made this confession. ^ Mr. Justice HOLRO'YD having charged the Jury, j ; they retired out of court for six minutes, and in their j ( return into court delivered a verdict of " Guilty of t Petit Treason and Murder.". c After- a very impressive address, Mr. Justice Holroyd sentenced the prisoner to be drawn to theiplace of ex- \ eeuti. on on Mbiid iv, and there to be lmnged by the neck until she was dead, and her body given to the surgeons to be dissected aud anatomised. The awful sentence was carried into execution on , Mtiaday last. \ A't Lineoln Assizes James Cawthryrnc, aged 23, of j Wliaplude. was convicted of poisoning bis wife with ar- 7 • senic, to which crime he states he was instigated by a c gnilty passion for another woman. He was to be executed last Thurfday. EXECUTION.— Emery and Akers, convicted of wilful ' murder, ou Friday se'imight,, at the Essex Assises,, suf- J' fered at Chelmsford, on Monday morning, in the pre- j sonce of a large concourse of persons, of all ages, and of _ both saxes. A I t is a carious coincidence that not a single member p of the late King's numerous family, male or female, was in attendance either upon the hate lameutei^ Princess Charlotte or upon her beloved mother;, at, the time of their mortal sickness and death. A hatdiment was on Thursday placed in the front of ! the late Queen's house, in South Audler- strect. p, QUEENS- CONSORT.— An interval of more than eighty JJ I years elapsed between the death of the Queen of George ) j II. and the death of the- Queen of his immediate succes- 1 sor, George I I I . .
