THE FIRST OF MAY. MAY DAY has been celebrated from the earliest ages, as a kind of nature's birthday. Notwithstanding the havoc which the march of science and the schoolmaster have made with the good old customs of oor forefathers, it is probable that May Day will long continue its hold upon human affections. •GuyFawkes may fall into disrepute under the sober severities of Dr. Kay Shuttleworth, and the Committee of Council on Education, the light of science may supply the light of bonfires on the 5th of November, and under the directions of Mr. Hullah and his as. sistants, the entire voice of the people be brought into common chorus, but the notes of Exeter Hall will never supplant the wood note. wild" of Nature' choristers, or the flowers of speech come home to the heart like the flowers of May. Afay Day can bardlybe said to be known in great cities. It is in green fields, amid the song of birds and the bursting of flowers that Nature must be worshipped on a morn of May. We read, however, of Henry VIII, and Queen Catherine, riding to Shooter's Hill to meet the Lord Mayor of London, tbe Aldermen and Citizens "going a Maying —that is going forth to the woods at day- break to the sound of horns and music, to gather branches to bring home and plant before their doors. What a glorious sight it would be in these matter-of fact days to see the Lord Mayor of 1843 and bis senior fellows triumphantly trudging back to the City at six o'clock in the morning with their brother Aldermen, and the whole court of Common Council, laden with green branches, after having breakfasted in the open fields, upon the contents of some laughing damsel's milk-pail. All that May Day has been latterly known by in London, was the Jack-in-the-green vagaries of young chimney-sweepers; and even this sign of May in the Metropolis is now nearly obliterated, as a recent act of Parliament has inflicted a heavy blow and great discouragement" upon the priests of the festival. Sbakspeare has the following allusion to May Day in the first scene of tbe first act of the Midsummer Night's Dream I (tbou lovest me, then Steal forth thy father's boole to-morrow night; Aurt in the wood, a league without the town, Where I did meet thee once wilb Helen, To do observance to a morn of May, There will I stay for thee." Formerly, all ranks went out a Maying" early on the Mav- day. Brande, in his Vulgar Antiquities." tells us that in bis time, in the villages in the North of England, the juvenile part of both sexes were wont to rise a little after midnight on the morning of that day and walk to some neighbouring wood, accompanied with music and the blowing of horns, when they broke down branches from the trees, and adorned them with nosegays and crowns of flowers. This done, they returned homeward with their booty, about the time of sunrise, and made their doors and windows triumph in the flowery spoil. In Cbancer's Court of Love" we read that early on May Day forth goetb all the Court, both highest and lowest, to fetch the flowers fresh, and branch and bloom." The Court of King James the First, and the populace, long preserved the observance of this day. Milton's Hymn on May Morning" is one of the most healthy and fresh in the whole range of our English literature; it has been often quoted, and is no doubt familiar to most, if not all, of our readers still here it is:— Now the brieht morning stu, day's harbinger, Comes dancing from the East, and brings with her The flow'ry May, who from her green lap throws The yellow cowslip and the pale primrose. Hail, beanteoos May I that dost inspire Mirth, Ind yooth, IDd fond desire; Woods and grovea are of thy dressing, Hill and dale doth boast thy blessing; Thus we salute thee witb oar early song, And welcome thee and wisb thee lone." The Mayings," says Strutt, in his Manners and Customs," are in some sort yet kept up by the milkmaids at London, who go about the streets with their garlands and music, dancing, but this tracing is a very imperfect shadow of the original sports; formerly poles were set up in the streets with various martial shows, morris dancing, and other devices, with which, and re- velling and good cheer, the day was passed away. In several parts of the kingdom, even to the present day, the houses are decorated with a green bough on the first of May, and the milk- maids carry their pails around the town decorated with flowers and with various articles of silver plate which they borrow from their customers; but the dancing around the Maypole and the Other rural pastimes dedicated to the day, are fast falling into oblivion.

GLEANINGS. CHINESE JOGGLERS.—TIIC following scene occurred in the drawing-room of a foreign resident in Can Ion Two jugglers were introduced before the company assembled after going through a number of surprising feats of skill and agility, one of these men handed to the other a large china basin. This basin, after a few flourishes above his bead, and being turned upside down, to convince the spectators that it was empty, the exhibitor suddenly allowed it to fall, bat caught it before it reached the loor. This movement brought him in a position resting upon his heels, the basin being now hidden from view by the tales of his garments. In tbat position be remained for a few seconds, with his bands extended, but in no way touching the basin. With a sodden spring be stood upright, and displayed to the astonished spectators the basin filled to the brim witb pure clear water, and two gold fisbes swimming in their native element.—Ten Thousand Things relating to China. THE PROPER MISSION OF CONSERVATIVES.—O my con- servative friends, who still specially name and struggle to approve yoarselves "conservatives, would to Heaven I conld persuade you of this world-old fact, than which fate is not sorer, that troth and justice alone are capable of being conserved" and pre- served The thing which is anjost, which is not according to God'1 law, will you, in a God's universe, try to conserve that? It is so old, say yon ? Yes, and the hotter haste oogbt you, of all others, to be in to let it grow no older. If but the faintest whisper in yonr hearts intimate to 1°0 that it is not fair, hasten, for the sake of conservatism itself, to probe it rigorously, to oast it forth at once and for ever, if guilty. How will or can you preserve iI, the thing that is not fair? Impossibility" a thou- sandfold is marked on that. And ye call yourselves conserva- tives, aristocraciesoagbt not honour and nobleness of mind, if they had not departed from all the earth elsewhere, to find their last refuge with you ? Ye unfortunates! The bough that is dead shall be cut away, for the sake of the tree itself. Old? Yes, it is too old. Many a weary winter has it swung and creaked there, and gnawd and fretted, with its dead wood, the organio substance and still living fibre of this good tree; many a long summer has its ngly naked brown defaced the fair green nmbrage; every day it has done mischief, and that only: off witb it, for the tree s sake, if for nothing more let the conser- vatism that would preserve cut it away. Did no wood forester apprise yon that a dead bough with its dead root left sticking there is extraneous, poisonous; is as a dead iron spike, some horrid rasty ploughshare driving into the living substance;—nay, is far worse for in every windstorm ("commercial crisis" and the like), it frets and creaks, jolts itself to and fro, and cannot be quiet as dead iron spike would.—Past and Present, by Thomas Carlyle. GOVERNMENT.—We mean not to deny, we steadily affirm, that government is a great good, and essential to human happiness; but it does its good chiefly by a negative influence, by repressing iujastioe and crime, by securing property from invasion, and thus removing obstructions to the free exercise of haman powers. It confers little positive benefit. Its office it4, not to confer happiness, but to give men opportunity to work out happiness for themselves. Government resembles the wall which surrounds oor lands-a needfDI protection, but rearing no har- vests, ripening no fruits. It is the individual who must choose whether the enclosare shall be a paradise or a waste. How little positive good can government confer It does not till our fields, build our bouses, weave the ties that bind us to oor families, give disinterestedness to the heart, or energy to the intellect and will. All oor great interests are left to ourselves; and governments, when they have interfered witb them, have obstructed, much more than advanced them. For example, ^tbey have taken religion into their keeping only to disfigure it. So education, in tbeir hands, has generally become a propagator of servile maxims, and an upholder of antiqaated errors. In like manner they have paralyzed trade by their nursing care, and multiplied poverty by expedients for its relief. Government has almost always been a barrier against which intellect has had to straggle and society has made its chief progress by the minds of private individuals, who have outstripped their rulers, ayd gradually shamed them into truth and wisdom.—Essay on the Character of Napoleon, by Dr. Channing. MILTON'S CHARACTER OF A MODERN POLITICIAN.— It is a work good and prudent to be able to guide one man of a larger extended virtue to order well one house but to govern a nation piously and justly, which only is to say happily, is for a spirit of the greatest siae, and divinest mettle. And certainly of no less a mind, nor of less excellence in another way, were they who, by writing, laid the solid and true foundaiions of this science, which being of greatest importance to the life of man, yet there is no art that hath been more cankered in her principles, more solid, and slubbered with anhorisming pedantry, than the art of polioy [«-«., the art of political science] and that most, where a man would think should least be, in Christian commonwealths. They teach not, that to govern well, is to train op a nation in true wisdom and virtae, and that which springs from thence, mag- nanimity (take heed of that), and that which is our beginning, re- generation, and happiest end, likenoss to God, which in one word we call godliness and that this is the trae flourishing of a land, other things follow as the shadow does the substance to teach thas were mere polpitry to them. Alas, Sir! a commonwealth oagbt to be hot as one huge christian personage, one mighty growth and stature of an honest man, as big and compact in virtue as in body for look what the grouods and cauites are of siogle happiness to one man, the same ye shall find them to a whole state, as Aristotle, both in his ethies and politics, from the principles of reason lays down by consequence, there- fore, that which is good and agreeable to monarchy, will appear soonest to he so, by being good and agreeable to the true welfare of every christian; and that which can be jastly proved hurtful and offensive to every troe christian, will be evinced to be alike bortfal the monarchy; for God forbid that we should separate and distinguish the end and good of a monarch, from the end and good of a monarchy, or of that, from Christianity. How then this third and last sort that binder reformation, will justify that it stands not with reason of state, I much muse for certain I am, the Bible is shat against them, as oertain that aeitber Plato nor Aristotle is for tfceir tarat*

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF LORDS. WEDNESDAY, MAY 3.—Their Lordships assembled at five o'clock, and sat only for a few minutes. Lord Brougham lad npon the table a bill to amend and improve the appellate jurisdiction of the Court of Privy Council. The Exchequer Bills Bill was a read a second time and several other bills were advanced a stage. Tbeir Lord- ships then adjourned until Friday. FRIDAY, MAY 5.-Their Lordships assembled this morning at ten o'clock, and proceeded with the evidence upon the Townshend Peerage Bill. Several witnesses were examined; after which the further consideration of the case was adjourned to Wednesday morning. The Lord Chancellor resumed his seat on the woolsack at five o'clock, when a number of petitions on different sub- jects were presented. Lord Brougham said he had a number of petitions to pre- sent against the Factory Education Bill, but as there were doubts about the regularity of receiving them before the bill came before their Lordships, he would hold them over. He looked with sorrow upon the religious aspect of the public mind, not only of Churchmen but of Wesleyans— a body whose great respectability and great worth he fully acknowledged-nut only of Weslyans, but of all Dissenters. He almost despaired of seeing any scheme to extend to all the blessings of education. Yet the religious public, Church- men, Wesleyans, and Dissenters of all denominations, were all friends of public education. They were all sincere and real friends of education, who had rendered the most in. estimable services to the cause of popular education. But, nevertheless, he could not close his eyes to this painful troth, that there was one thing which all these classes pre- fel red to popular education, and were more anxious about lhan popular education, and that was voting over one another. The Churchmen were anxious that the people should be educated, but they were more anxious thet the Dissenters should be depressed. The Dissenters were also anxious for popular education, bnt they were more anxious to pull down the Church. Between these conflicting sects he felt something like despair, as indeed he told them four and twenty years ago, when he explained his views in a letter addressed to one of the most enlightened friends of public education, his lamented friend, the late Duke of Bedford, who agreed with him, that until each party gave up a little of their own views and preferred the eddcation of the people to a triumph over one sect or another, there conld be no ge- neral education of the people, which might be, and would be, universal, but for these unhappy religious differences. He gave no opinion as to what was right or what was wrong, but he entreated all religions parties, Churchmen and Dis- senters, to lay aside their differences, and apply their united energies tothisone object—that the people be fnlly, soundly, and religiously educated. The Registration of Voters' Bill passed through Com- mittee Lord Campbell, postponing his amendments until the bringing up of the Report. The Exchequer Bills Bill passed through Committee, and was ordered to be reported on Monday. Lord Beaumont moved for copies of the instructions for- warded to the British Ambassador at Constantinople relative to the affairs of Servia, and other papers connected with the subject. The Noble Lord contended that the Earl of Aberdeen had acted with great injustice towards the Ottoman empire by the terms on which he had arranged the Servian question. The Earl of Aberdeen readily admitted that, although the person of the Chief in a Province which contained scarcely an English subject might be a matter of sup) erne indiffer- ence, its condition as affecting the existence of the Ottoman Empire required attention. His information with respect to the revolt which had ended in the election of the present Chief had been furnished by our Consul-General at Bel- grade. Although his opinions would predispose him to sympathise with an expression of popular opinion, he had represented what was described as the effort of a free people as simply the result of a corrupt bargain between the Tmkish Pasha o( Belgrade and two or three of the Servian Chiefs. The excesses of the dominant party had been almost beyond description the people had taken little interest in the transaction, and the unfortunate youth who had been thrust upon the Throne would be too happy to escape from his unwelcome dignity. The revolt had been, he believed, in no degree owing to Russian intrigue; and he contended that that Power was justified by treaties in the extent of its interference. A free election of their Chiefs had been stipulated for the Servians, and it was only to the corruption by which the late result had been secnred that Russia objected. He denied, however, that England had any motive which would justify her in taking part in a matter with which, until the independence of the Turkish Empire was more nearly affected, we had no concern; and defended this opinion by compaiing the conduct of Austria, which, although a neighbouring State, and possessing a population of the same character as the Servians—with a friendship for the Turkish Empire quite as earnest as this country could entertain—had approved the demands of Russia, and advised the Porte without delay to do justice, by complying with them. He believed the Porte had acquiesced in this suggestion, and that a new election would immediately take place; but he apprehended no invasion of Russian troops, and no resistance on the part of the people, to the great body of whom the change would be welcome. Lord Beaumont then withdrew his motion, and their Lord- ships adjourned to Monday. HOUSE OF COMMONS. WEDNESDAY, MAA 3.—The Speaker took the chair at four o'clock. Lord Rendlesham took the oaths and his seat for East Suffolk, in the room of Sir C. Broke Vere, deceased. More than an hour was occupied with the presentation of petitions, the majority of which were against the educa- tion clauses of the Factories Bill. Mr. Blackstone presented 193 petitions from places in Warwickshire, complaining of the alteration in the Corn Law, and praying for the repeal of the Malt-tax. Mr. Colquhoun gave notice, that, in committee on the Factories Bill, he would move the introduction of a clause to enable the Privy Council to afford assistance to the National School Society, the British and Foreign School Society, and other institutions, to form model schools. Mr. J. Jervis gave notice that on Friday week he would move for the appointment of a select committee to inquire into the operation of the new Bankruptcy Law. On the motion of Sir R. Peel, it was agreed that the House at its rising should adjourn until Friday. Sir G. Grey postponed the second reading of the Chari- table Trusts Bill. Sir R. Peel, in reply to a question from Mr. Borthwick, stated that both the English and French Governments, holding in consideration the tranquillity of Spain, were un- willing to permit Don Carlos's immediate or nnconditional liberation. At the same time, should a sufficient guarantee be given that no risk woold be incurred, there could be no objection to his liberation.—Lord J. Manners then inquired whether the fourth article of the treaty between France and England respecting the Peninsular affairs had not been ful- filled the moment Don Miguel and Don Carlos had quitted their respective countries 1—Sir R. Peel declined to give an answer. On the order of the day for the second reading of the Marriage and Divorce Bill, Dr. Nicholl rose to oppose the motion, on the ground that the Hon. Gentleman who intro- duced the bill had not explained to the Honse the principle upon which it was framed.—Mr. Elphinstone proceeded to explain the provisions of his bill, the principal object of which was to enable the jndge of the Ecclesiastical Court to pronounce a divorce a vinculo matrimonii; the present mode of proceeding being attended with heavy expense and fre- quemly with much litigation.—Mr. Ewart supported the bill, and complained that the cost of a divorce in this country was 7001. or 8001., while in Scotland it could be procured for 201.-Dr. Nicholl moved that the bill be read a second time that day six months and on a division the numbers were— for the second reading 41, against it 105; majority against the bill 64.—The House was then adjonrned nntil Friday. FRIDAY, MAY 5.—The Speaker took the chair at the usnal hour, when an immense number of petitions against, and a few in favour of, the educational clauses of the Fac- tories Bill, were presented. Mr. Jervis, on the part of Sir T. Wilde, postponed to the 19th inst. his motion on the subject of the petition of Mr. Rowland Hill. CHURCH ENDOWMENT.—The Honse having resolved into Committee to consider the question of Endowment of Minis- ters in populous districts, Sir R. Peel rose and said that he should then proceed, in conformity with the notice he had given, to call the attention of the House to the measures which her Majesty's Govern- ment were disposed to recommend to their consideration i for the purpose of supplying the deficiency which existed in the means of attending divine worship, and of receiving the benefits of spiritual instruction and spiritual superin* tendence, according to the doctrines of the Church of Eng- land, in many of the populous districts of this country. The Right Hon. Baronet then proceeded to state the progress which had been made to remedy the evils arising from the population progressing in various towns in a greater ratio than the means of providing them with religious instruction. This evil being admitted, the next question was as to the means of applying a remedy and it was the present in- tention of the Government that ecclesiastical revenues should be applied to the purpose, but if they should hereafter prove to be insufficient, it wonld become his duty to ap- ply to Parliament for assistance. At the end of 1834 he had advised the Crown to issue a commission, the result of whose inquiries had been to show that the revenues of cer- tain bishoprics, cathedrals, and other ecclesiastical esta- blishments were much larger than their proper purposes required. That Commission had recommended the transfer ofsnch surplus receipts of the Church to a new fund, which now amounted to about 25,0001. a-year. Out of this fund about 16,1001. per annnm had been applied to the augmenta- tion of small livings; and other analagous purposes had been marked ont, which, with the 16,7001., would absorb in all about 32,000/. In a few years this fund would be very considerably increased by the falling-iu of canonries and other preferments; and the question now was, whether it would be better to wait until that increase should have been realized, or to anticipate that increase by some immediate measure? The Government were of opinion that the pressure of the case required the latter course. For this purpose it would be necessary to combine the instrumentality of two bodies the Ecclesiastical Commissioners and the Board of Queen Anne's Bounty for the augmentation of small livings. The later board was possessed of considerable capital, to the amount of about 1,200,0001. invested in the funds. What he now proposed was to authorize the advance of 600,0001. by the Bounty Board, to be secured on the future accruing revenues ot the Ecclesiastical Commissioners the borrowed stock 10 be applied, in annual amounts of M,000<. to the immediate augmentation of the means of spiritual instruc- tion. The Bigitt Hon. Baronet here explained the particu- lars of the plan Cor the repayment* by which he calculated thar in 1860 the Ecclesiastical Commissioners will have an annual amount to provide for of 8O,ØØOI., for which it is ex- pected that by that time they will have ample means, arising from accruing reveaues. The borrowed turn, io annual amounts of 30,0001. be intended to be applied, not to the building of churches, bnt to the endowment of ministers, and to be connected witb the aid of local subscriptions. Great benefit had already resulted from voluntary subscrip- tions for building churches and nothing could more con- duce to the promotion of these church-building subscriptions than by providing for the endowment of ministers. He hoped that in these endowments care would be taken to assign each minister a given district; although he did not think that the endowment of the minister should wait on the construction of the Church. He would rather first place a minister in a destitute district, confident that thp erection of a Church would speedily follow the success of his labours. Lookin<r to the destitute condition of the population, he felt the great importance of immediate action; and seeing that he did not ask for a grant of public money, he hoped the House would unanimously agree to the proposed scheme. Not but that he should like to obtain a graut of public money for the purpose, but he was anxious for unanimity, and he was satisfied that by the proposed application of ecclesiastical revenues, great encouragement would be given, not only to the endowment of ministers, bnt to the building of churches, the statistics of which exhibited a wonderful increase, during late years, in the teligious liberality of possessers of property attached to the Establishment.—The Right Hon. Baronet concluded by moving for leave to bring in a bill to make better provision for the spiritual care of populous parishes. Sir H. Inglis said he could not give his approbation to the ptan although he would not embarrass the Government hy any observations which could have the effect of strengthening the hands of those from whom the Church had nothing to expect. He confidently looked forward to the time when the House would be asked for a grant of public money in furtherance of the religious instruction of the people. It was to the enlargement of the Church Establishment that the country looked for the means of improving its social condition; and it was to be remembered that the greatest evils of the late insurrection prevailed in districts insuffi- ciently provided with pastoral care. He sincerely hoped the present plan would prove beneficial, although it by no means came np to his expectation. Viscount Dungannon approved of the proposed plan, which he thought would be productive of lasting benefit. Mr. Colquhoun and Mr. Parkingson also approved of the measure. Lord J. Russell was not prepared, so far as he understood the plan, to bestow upon it his unqualified admiration, al- though it certainly contained the elements of utility. After some further discussion, in which Mr. Hume, Mr. Gisborne, Viscount Sandon, Mr. Borthwick, and several other Members took part, Sir R. Peel replied, and said he believed that the annual sum of 30,0001. which he proposed wonld be found adequate, with the aid of voluntary sub- scriptions, to promote the real welfare of the Church more effectually than if he had required a laige grant of public money. The resolution was then agreed to and the House resumed after which leave was given to bring in the bill. Lord Eliot then moved the second reading of the Irish Poor Law Bill, and stated the various alterations contem- plated by its enactment.—Mr. French opposed the motion and moved, as an amendment, that the bill be read a second time that day six months.—Tiie amendment was seconded by Mr. S. Crawford.—The Attorney-General for Ireland supported the original motion; and contended that the rating to the poor in many parts of Ireland was only the fraction of a penny, while in others it did not exceed two pence.—Alter some further discussion, Mr. French said he wonld not press his amendment, and the bill was accord- ing'y read a second time without a division. The Queen s Bench Offices Bill passed through committee, and was ordered to be reported on Monday next. The other orders of the day were tben disposed of, and the House was adjourned at a quarter before one o'clock.

THE LYIN8-IN-STATE AND FUNERAL OF HIS LATE ROYAL HIGHNESS the dttke of SUSSEX. Wednesday, the 3d instant, being the day fixed for the Lying-in-State of the remains of his late Royal Highness, *»'C| • n8sex»*t Kensington Palace, as early as four o'clock in the morning, a number of respectably dressed persons assembled at the emrance to the Palacej and con- tinued to increase nntil eight o'clock, at which hour vast numbers had congregated. As the hour for opening the gates approached, thousandshad arrived bnt inconsequence of the admirable arrangements of the police, and the nu- merous barriers placed to prevent the pressure of the crowd, there was no confusion or irregularity, and not a single accident occurred.—About fifty persons were admitted at a time between the barriers into the Clock Court of the Palace, and as these passed auother barrier, fifty more were admitted by signals, and thus without any confusion a colnmnof visitors was constantly moving into the apartments where the body of his Royal Highness lay. After passing the Clock Court, the visitors entered a corridor leading to the grand staircase and state apartments, at which were stationed three domestics in crimson livery with gold lace the hall being hung with black cloth. They thence passed up the staircase, and at the entrance of the apartment in which the body lay, stood M'Kay, his late Royal Highness's piper. This man is of almost gigantic height and Herculean proportions, and dressed as he was in the most brilliant ornamented dress of his country, with a noble black plume in his cap, his figure was very imposing. The anti-room was entirely bung with black cloth, fluted up the sides and on the top. The light of day was wholly excluded bnt around the room at intervals of two or thiee yards, were massive silver sconces, each bearing two wax tapers. At the entrance to the inner chamber, called on Court occasions the Pre- sence Chamber," stood on either side of the doorway two favourite domestics of the late Prince—Hnnnemann, the Hanoverian Jager, and his Burmese page. From this point the first view of the coffin was obtained. Like the anti. room, this chamber was also hung with black cloth fluted. Ronnd the room weie fixed npon the cloth fourteen em- blazoned esclltcheons of tbe armsofhia Rojal Highness, and in front of each two wax tapers. Fronting the entrance and raised a few feet from the floor, was the coffin, covered witu a pall of black velvet with whtie silk facings. Upon the comn was placed his Royal Highness's Cotonet, and over it upon the wall was a large escutcheon with her Majesty's Arms emblazoned npon it. On either side of the coffin were three massive silver candlesticks with enormous wax candles. At the head of the corpse sat as Chief Mourner »*ftp D1,,on' R-N.,Knight Commander of the Koyal Hanoverian Guelphic Order, one of bis late Royal Highness s Equerries, habited in a Conrt suit of black. At the teet of the corpse stood James Pulman, ESQ. Rich- mond Herald, and Robert Laurie, Esq. Windsor Herald wearing their splendid tabards and their collars of SS: Between the heralds stood ou either side the Hon. Frederick Byng and Captain Courtnay Boyle, R.N., Gentlemen Ushers, wearing silk scarfs over their respective nniforms. Two Pages, Messrs, John Dennis and William Beckham stood at the end of the apartment in Court suits. These several gentlemen were relieved every hour, Colonel Wild- man and Sir Archibald Macdonald taking Sir William Dillon's place as Chief Mourner; W. A. Blonnt, Esa Chester Herald, and A. W. Woods, Esq., Lancaster Herald, relieving the other Heralds; Sir T. N. Harris and Mr. Bainbridge relieving the Gentlemen Ushers; and Messrs. Benjamin and Barnard Beckham succeeding the other Pages. A railed passage winding round a pillar to the right of the entrance way, condtfeted the company ont of the Presence Chamber into the room adjoining, called the Queen's Dining-room, which was also hung with black cloth. Through a window in this room a temporary way had been made for the egress of the visitors, who passed down a staircase erected for the purpose upon the gravel walk beneath which leads into the broad walk of Kensington Gardens'. The gates at the end of the avenue leading into Kensington were closed shortly after four o'clock.—The number of persons who were present during the day is estimated at upwards of 25,000. From the time of entering the gates at the end of the avenne it took two hours to pass through the Palace and out again to Kensington Gardens. A short time previously to the public being admitted, the domestics of the late Unke of Sussex, and also those of other members of the Royal Family, were permitted to pass through the rooms. THE yffNERAli* The various members of the Royal Family and others attending as Mourners assembled at Kensington Palace shortly after seven o'clock on Thursday morning; and a few minutes after eight the procession started from the Palace, headed by a detachment of Cavalrv and a Military Band, in the following order: A MourniDg Coach, drawn hy four horses, in which were the Pages of bis late Royal Higbn ess.

Upwards of 10,000 persons were assembled within the barricades in front of the chapel. The carriage of Col. Tynte, one of his Royal Highnesses executors, arrived at eight o'clock, and remained in waiting until after the cere- mony was over. At a quarter before ten o'clock his Royal Highness Prince Albert, attended by his suite, arrived in a carriage-and-four. His Royal Highness looked exceedingly pale, and seemed much affected. His Royal Highness was immediately pre- ceded by his Serene Highness the Prince of Mecklenburg Strelitz, and followed by Sir Robert Peel and the Earl of Liverpool, the Lord Steward. The Cabinet Ministers pre- sent all wore the Windsor uniform, with broad black scarfs. At hitli-past ten the funeral procession entered the Cemetry by the grand entrance. The Bishop of Norwich and the chaplain of the Cetneiry then appeared at the door of the chapel in full canonicals. At ten minutes before eleven, the Hearse, drawn by eight black horses, containing the Body, and adorned with escut- cheons, arrived at the chapel door. The magnificent Coffin was borne into the chapel by twelve men, who seemed to bend beneath the heavy weight. We understand the weight of the coffin was nearly nine hundred weight. The Hearse was followed by a Mourning Coacb with six horses, in which was the Chief Mourner, his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge. His Royal Highness appeared suffering from the deepest grief. He looked pale, and wept bitterly. The Bishop of Norwich and the Chaplain of the ceremony, preceded the Body into the chapel, reading the opening sentences of the solemn funeral service of the Church of England. The following Noblemen and Gentlemen followed in their Private Carriages:—The Duke of Wellington, the Marquis of Clanricarde, the Earl of Clarendon, the Earl of Zetland. Viscount Duncannon, Lord Palmerston, Lord J. Russell, Lord Howick, Lord Cottenham, Lord Morpeth, Lord Oran. more, Lord Nugent, and the Earl of Redesdale. Upwards of thirty Private Closed Carriages followed. The procession was escorted to the Chapel door by two detachments of the Horse Guai ds, which filed off, as did the different Carriages, round the right cloister. The following was the Ceremonial within the Cliapel Pages of his late Royal Highness. Medical Attendants of his late Royal Highness. Curate of Kensington. Vicar of Kensinglon.

Staff of the Artillery Company. Upon entering the Chapel, the Body was placed on a plat- form.and the Coronet and Cushion laid upon the coffin. The Chief Mourner (his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge), sat at the head of the corpse, the supporters standing on each side. The part of the service before the interment having been read, the Corpse was deposited in the vault, and the Hishop of Norwich having concluded the burial service, the Garter Principal King of Anns pronounced the style of his late Royal Highness. Immediately after the ceremony, Prince Albert entered his catriage, preceded and followed by an escort of the Horse Guards, and proceeded at a rapid rale towards Buckingham Palace. Most of the Nobility who took part in the ceremonial, left immediately afterwards In their private carriages.—The ceremonial was concluded shortly before twelve o'clock. The catacomb in which the remains of his late Royal Highness were deposited, is situated in the north wing; it was fitted up expressly for the purpose, and the space usually devoted to twenty coffins was entirely appropriated to that of the Prince. Blocks of masonry, two feet high, and projecting four feet from the wall, were built up, and on these the coffin was placed. The arrangements for the accommodation of the public admitted to the Cemetery by tickets reflected much credit on the Directors and their officers; whilst those under the direction of the Commis- sioners of Police were admirable. Altogether the proces- sion and funeral ceremonial were characterized by the most imposing grandeur, and throughout the whole line thousands of persons were congregated to view the procession. The great bell of St. Pant's Cathedral began to toll at a quarter past eight o'clock, and continued for one honr the bells of all the other churches in the metropolis were likewise tolled. Most of the shops were entirely closed from eight until one o'clock, and there were very few instances in which the shatters were not put np during those hours. At the West London Synagogue of British Jews, Burton- street, a service was performed on the occasion of the funeral of the Prince. 10 the Spanish and Portuguese Synagogue a special service, composed by the Rev. D. Mel- dola fov the occasion, was performed to a very numerous congregation.

M IS C EL LA NEC US. STATE OF TRADE. The demand, yesterday, for some descriptions of goods, and especially for printing cloth, was not quite so animated as on the preceding Tnesday; but shirtings continue in extensive demand, and many of the buyers seem desirous of making contracts at the full prices of last week. The yarn market continues flat, and some descriptions have been bought a shade lower than last week. Still, we believe, there is no accumulation of stock and the market may be considered tolerably healthy. We are glad to learn that the continued demand for manufactured goods has caused some advance of wages in the neighbourhood of Blackburn, where two firms of spinners and manufacturers (one of them amongst the largest in the kingdom), have given notice of a general advance, amounting to ten per cent., to all the hands employed in their factories. To what extent this example will be followed, remains to be seen.- Manchester Guardian. LORD RENDLESHAM.—The new Member for East Suffolk is the fourth Noble Lord who has borne the family hononrs, having been twin brother with the late Peer, and succeeded to the title in September 1839. The grandfather of his Lordship, Peter Isaac Thelnsson, left one of the most extraordinary testamentary documents ever executed. After devising 100.000L to his widow and children, he left the reo maiuder of his fortune, amounting to upwards of 600tOOOI. to trustees, to accumulate during the lives of his three sons and the lives of their sons; the estates directed to be then pnrchased with the produce of the accumulated fund, to be conveyed to the eldest male descendant of his three sons, with benefit of survivorship. This singular will, being con- tested by the heirs-at-law, was finally established by a deci- sion of the Honse of Lords, June 25, 1805. Mr. Thelusson died July 21st, 1797, and from that time the stock may ac- cumulate to a period of about 120 years, when it would amount to )40,000,0001. sterling: should no heir then exist, the whole is to be applied, by the agency of the Sinking Fund, to the discharge of the National Debt.—An Act'was passed shortly after the decision in the House of Lords, limiting the period for which property might be allowed to accumulate, to 25 years. ANTI-CORN-LAW MEETINGS.—On Saturday se'n- night, Mr. Cobden attended a large meeting of farmers and others interested in agriculture, at Hertford, to discuss the practical operation of the Corn-laws upon the interests of the farmer. Mr. Welford, a farmer, was called to the chair, and the meeting was very numerously attended. Mr. Cobden made a very powerful speech, with the view of showing that the supposed protection of the Corn-laws was a delusion, and that the real interest of the agriculturist was identified with the prosperity of the rest of the community. A reso- lution to the following effect was proposed by Mr. Latti- more, a tenant farmer, and carried by a large majority That it is the opinion of this meeting, that the existing Corn-laws have proved highly injurious to the independence and welfare of the tenant farmer, and that they ought to be abolished.On Saturday last, a numerous and respectable meeting of farmers took place in the Townhall, Aylesbury, Lord Nugent in the chair, at which Mr. Cobden addressed them at considerable length in advocacy of free-trade.— After some remarks by Mr. V. Woodman and other farmers, who stated that they could not cultivate their farm* with any profit, Mr. Olive moved the following resolution:— That the meeting felt their cordial thanks to be due to Mr. R. Cobden, M.P., for the excellent address with which he had that day favoured them, and they desired to express their entire concurrence with him in the opinions and argu- ments which he had laid before them respecting the injurious effects upon the agiicnltnral interests of what were called protecting duties on the importation of agricultural produce." —Mr. J. Gibbs seconded the resolution, which was carried by a considerable majority.—Thanks were then voted to the Noble Chairman, and the meeting separated. IMPERIAL PRESENTS.—The presents which have beenl sent to Queen Victoria from the Emperor of China consist of golden bedsteads and a quantity of silk of a sort which has never yet been seen in Europe. There was likewise two ear-drops worth 1,0001. each and a shawl worked in needle- work, with every kind of beast on it known to the Chinese besides 14 large cases, each weighing 14 cwt., and a small box of jewellery. PKOPEKTY-TAX DEDUCTIONS.— A notice has been issued from the office of Stamps and Taxes, to the following effect: Persons who have proved their exemptions from the property-tax for the past year, on account of their in- come not amounting to 1501. per annum, will, by direction of the Lords of the Treasury, be allowed to receive their dividends for the present year free of any deduction, pro- vided the stock belonging to them remains in every respect the same as when the deduction of the tax was made for the last year. Where any alteration has been made in the amount since the former deduction, the parties entitled thereto will be paid their dividends in full (provided their income has not increased to 150/. per annum), if on or before the 27th of May they send to the office of Stamps and Taxes a statement of the am uut and description of the stock ill respect of which the exemption was allowed to them last year, and also a statement of the amount and de- scnption of the stock now held by them; all such particu- lars to be stated on a form which may be obtained from the surveyor of the district in which they reside. DKATHS.—On the 3d instant, at Charlton, General Sir Thomas Hislop, G.C.B. The gallant officer had been in the army upwards of 65 years, having received his war- rant as cadet in the artillery in March, 1778. In 1792 he was Aide-de-Camp to Major-General Dnndas, in Ireland. He subsequently served in the expedition against Corsica, in that which ended in the capitulation of what is now called British Guiana, in 1796,. and as Lieutenant-Governor of Trinidad, from which post he returned home in 1811, after fifteen years' duty in the West Indies. He was appointed Commander in-Chief at Bombay, in 1812, and was captured V? of that year, off St. Salvador, on the coast of •Brazil, by an American frigate he returned to England on parole, in April following. Sir Thomas was one of the Equerries of his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge.— Lately, at Paris, after a protracted illness, the Lady Wi liam Bentinck. The deceased lady was relict of Lord William Beniinck, Governor-General of India, and second daughter of the late Arthur first Earl of Gosport, and sister to the present Earl and to Lady Olivia Sparrow. Her Ladyship was married to the late Lord William, second son of the late Duke of Portland, and brother to the present, in Fe- bruary, 1803.—On the 3d inst., at Kingstown, near Dublin, the Very Rev. Joseph Bourke, Dean of Ossory. The de- ceased clergyman was the younger brother of the Earl of Mayo, and of the last Bishop of. Waterford and Emliu.— On the 29th nit., at Richmond, Sir Edmund Stanley, for- merly Chief Justice of the Superior Court at Madras. LAW OF BASTARDY.—At the lafe Devon Sessions an order of affiliation was refused, on the ground that the mother had five pounds ill the Savings' Bank when she went into the workhouse, which had not yet been spent. The Court held that the child had not become chargeable by reason of the ability of tbe mother to maintain it."— Devonport Independent. EXECUTION OFWILMOT BUCKLEY AND BETTY EcCLUs —At twelve o'clock to-day (Saturday), Wilmot Buckley convicted at our last assizes of the wilful murder of his wife, at St. Helens, and Betty Eccles, convicted at the same assizes ot the wilful murder of her stepson, at Bolton, under- went the extreme sentence of the law, at the usual place of execution at Kirkdale Gaol. The crimes of which tuey had been found guilty were, as the bare mention of them is quite sufficient to indicate, of the most atrocious description, admitting neither of doubt nor of palliation and though not proved in either case by any very direct testimony, yet fully established in both upon the clearest circumstantial evidence.—Liverpool Mail. HORKIBLE OCCUKRENCE.—An inquest was held, on r,?"'1 nit., at Eisey, Wilts, on the bodies of three of the children, aged 5, 7, and 10 years, of Isaac Litten, burnt to death by 1 heir own tather, who had previously fractured the skull of one ot :he eldest of them. It appeared that Litten, his wife and fourchndren, one at the breast, having been ejected from their cottage on the 2lst, constructed a hut of hurdles and straw in Golden Rose Lane; and that about hall-past ten^ names were seen issuing from the hovel. Litten, his wile, and the infant escaped, but before assist- ance could arrive the three eldest were burnt to death. On examining the ground, some blood was found, which creating suspicion, the bodies were examined, and the skull of one found to be fractured, when the father was appre- bended. After being cautioned that whatever be might state would be used against him, he said, the policeman had told him he must move out of the lane, where he had lived for the last fortnight; there had been a fire about a yard and a half from the entrance of the hovel, but it was put out by seven o'clock; he went to bed at eight; his wife and himself slept just inside the tent, and the children beyond them; they burnt no candle; about ten o'clock he was awoke by the falling of 6re, and jumped out, followed by his wife, when the burning hurdles fell, so that he conld not find the children; he neither heard them cry, nor saw them struggle. The dogged indifference with which he made this statement caused a feetingof horror throughout the inquest- room.—Martha Litten deposed, that she and the children went to bed about eight; her husband was not in, nor did he come home till nine, when he entered with a lighted candle; saw him on his knees; he did not get into bed; she fell asleep with the baby on her arm; she was awoke by some nowe, when her husband said, D—n thee, thee be'st all on fire;" he was then getting off the bed, and ran out; she followed as soon as she could with her baby she did not bear the children scream; the fire was tnen only burning on the part which covered lh$m it was not burn- ing where the children were; she did not see him do anv- thing; she ran to Mr. Wheeler's to get assistance. R. Wheeler deposed, that the prisoner came to him about eight o'clock, and asked him to take them in, as the constable bad told tbem they must move from the lane; witness said, he could not, as there was only one room in his house he said witness might have the hurdles, but he said be only wanted his own, which he had lent him, and desired him to bring them; prisoner said he would not move a thing, he would set fire to it all first; he then left the house, and about ten o'clock he was awakened by the screams of a woman, and, on jumping out of bed, saw the hovel, which was 60 yards distant, burning; he ran thither, and found the tent down; the prisoner was looking for something, and, on witness ask- ing where the children were, he said ibere," pointing to the tent; witness desired him to move the staff away, and witness then pnlled them out quite dead.—Mr. Parker, surgeon, found the head of the girl, about ten years old, fractured, but could not say the wound was inflicted whilst living.—Other witnesses were examined, who confirmed the statements of Wheeler and Mr. Parker, bnt none of them could say that the father made or had appeared to make any effort to save the children.—After a protracted discussion, the jury returned a verdict, That Isaac Litten wilfully set his tent or camp on fire, thereby causing the death of his three children. The verdict was received with great satisfaction by the surrounding inhabitants, many of whom were waiting to hear the decision.—The prisoner had a low and brutal appearance; and about nine months ago, one of his children was found drowned ill a ditch near the same place, which excited great suspicion against the parents. IMPORTANT DISCOVERY.—The Baltimore Republican states, that an eminent physician has recently discovered that the nightmare, in nine cases out of ten, is produced from owing a bill to the newspaper man." Persons who are thus affected should, therefore, immediately remove the cause of uneasiness. A MATERIAL DIFFERENCE.—A maiden lady, suspect- ing her female servant was regaling her beau npon the cold ot her larder, called Betty, and inquired whether she did not hear some one speaking with her down stairs. "Oh no, ma'm," replied the girl, "it was only me singing a psalm.' "YOII may amuse yourself, Betty," replied the lady with psalms; but lei's have no hims, Betty-I have a great objection to hims." Betty curtsied, withdrew, and took the hint. • ir^UJl,os,TY*"—Everybody remembers Joe Miller's joke of a Captain at sea asking a sailor, Jack, what are YOII doing below?" "Nothinr. your Honour," said Jack. Tom, what are yon doing?" Helping Jack, your Ho- nour, said TUlII. A lady had two servant maids, called Susan and Sarah. One night the lady rang the bell more than once before it was answered; and when Susan came to the drawing-room, the lady said," Where's Sarah ?" Why, madam (said Susan, in sotto voce), she is a courting with William," Well, what have yon been doing, that the bell was not answered sooner ?" To tell yon the honest truth (said Susan), I have been watching Sarah and William. Sunday Times. RECEIPT FOR A GOOD WIFE.—A good wife should be like three things, which three things she should not he like:—1. She should be like a snail, always keep within her house; but she should not be like a snail, carryall she has upon her back.—2. She should be like an echo, always speak when spoken to; but she should not be like an echo, have always the last word.—3. She should be tike a town clock, always keep lime and regularity; but she should not he like a town clock, speak so loud that all tbe town may hear her.
