INDIA. --..5.-- resides the late suspicious movements of Scindea4ao on the side of the Rajah of Berar, it is stated in the latest pliers from India, that the Itajah of Typoor pos.sessed, time of the late dispatches, but a mere nominal anti:Li - 4 over the extensive domains so long held by his nacient race; and that, with the exception of a few miles around the city, the whole country bad submitted to the 4 .,overnment of Ameer Khan, an adventurer, who had tiff I.eyeral years rendered himself extremely trpublesome in that quarter. The aflitirs of Holkar's government were in a state of more than usual distraction, and the army of that Chief tain, though somewhat reduced in number, was yet in a mutinous condition, on account of the great arrears of pay. No one in the State seemed to have consequence sufficient to repress their tumultuous proceedings, nor a strong hand or pecuniary means enough to satisfy them in their de- minds. Burs Ram Holkar, a near relation to the head of the preient family, died on the 18th of November last, tbr whose death the Court went into mourning. Runjeet Sing still meditated an invasion of the King tiom of Cashmeer. The investiture of the new Knights Commanders of the Bath, by the Govenor-General, took place at Calcutta the beginning of November ; when Lieutenant-General J. Nlacdonald, and Major Generals R. Blair and J. Hors fiwd received that honourable distinction from the hands of Earl Moira, who addressed the Knights Commander in the following animated speech : " SIR KNIGHTS—A commission more gratifying could hardly have been iutrustedto me, than that with which the Prince Re sent has deigned to honour me on this occasion. " Justly flattered as you must individually be to have your meritorious devotion to the public service thus recognized, I am sure I shall raise your sensations still higher, by connecting this distinction with the gallant army to which you belong. How soever each of you amply deserved this mark of royal favour, I am to look upon it simply personal. Indeed, you yourselves would wish to share the boast 'with your brave companions in arms. I am to regard the extension of this honour to, the officers of the Eastlndia Company's troops, as I knsw the gracious disposition of the Prince Regent intended it, as manitesting a due appre ciation of the splendid achievements of those forces. It is an ac knowledgement how much the company's army, in raising the proud arch of this vast dominion, has added to the trophies of our conutry's glory. It is a generous tribute not only to the valor of the existing army, but to the memory of those elevated spirits, all of whom by their effort?, and ninny of whom at the IA pence of their lives, have thus advanced the interests of the British Empire. "The attention shown in this instance to the Company's Of ficers, is wisely calculated to 41111 W British feelings still more close. But while our self-complacency is soothed, let us not forget the obligations attached to the circumstance. This proof that the eyes of our SON ertign are upon us, ought at once to be Xin excitement and a cheering contemplation under those ever limp which must be unremitting on the part of every function ary, civil or military, in this country ; for, as nothing but extra ordinary energy could have acpared these territories, nothing but the unrclaxed operation of the same principle can retain them.'• MEMORIAL TO TILE PRINCE RECENT. As a striking exemplification of the unprecedented dis tresses of the manufacturing classes, we present our read ers with the following Memorial, which has obtained up -wales of 19,000 signatures, in Bolton, Chowbent, Leigh, and the neighbourhood : his Royal Highness George Prince Regent of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland; with tin it Depen dencies.

Th it the general and universal evil may be ascribed to seve r,ll causes —as, first, to a prevailing system of reducing wages. This %ten) must at all times decrease the value of the stock on hand, whicl►ia sometimes immense, and bath often proved ruinous to the beit houses. Second, the exportation of the half-wrought material, as Twist and Weft. By this traffic, one part of his Majesty's subjects ss'ork to (gable fOleigners to do without the other part, and hence the restric:ive ineamies adopted by foreign Governments 4.ainot the finished manufactures of the Memorialists. And also, a third growli4 rut of the former two, viz. the most able of the masters have, either altogether or partly, declined the ismnifactilie ; whilst others, by repeated sanifices of their de pegiated smocks, have become bankrupts.

SIIERIDAY,S . FUNI.R.IL. [A more Partienlar Account than inserted in our hot.] The remains of Mr.. Sheridan were, on Saturday se'n night interred in Westminster Abbey. The place chosen was Poet's Corner ; st veryprOper tribute to'the genius and talents of this vitamin,. man. The spor where the vault was sunk, is immediately opposite the monument of Shakespear On one side, and the tomb of Addison on the other, in the middle of the aisle; the head of the ;pure is to the north—the font to the south. The mourners and attendants assembled in the forenoon, at the house of an intimate friend of Mr. Sheridan, Peter Moore, Esq. in Great George-street, At a quarter past one the procession approached the Abbey ; it was a walking fune ral ; there was, we think, one mourning coach only. We believe that no funeral, since that of Nelson, has been more splendidly attended—by men of all parties—states men of all opinions; in a word, by persons who enter tained nothing but a common sentiment of respect to wards u distinguished man, with whom some had acted together in public, others had contended with in debate, but wham all applauded and admired. The mounters, independent of the family friends, amounted to about 200. RELATIONS. Mr. C. B. Sheridan (son of the deceased), chief mourner; Air.

The procession reached from the West door down to the organ loft, at the entrance of the chapel. The bu rial service was performed at the grave. Lords Erskine, Sidmouth, and Holland, were peculiarly affected. The Bishop of London, dressed in his cassock, but not offici ating, seemed to be much impressed. He attended Mr. Sheridan, to administer religious consolation, in his last illness. The coffin was not very richly ornamented, nor scant of ornament ;it was simple and elegant. The pro cession dispersed soon after the funeral. It is remarkable, that, until Thursday last, it was doubtful whether a place would be found to lodge an ad ditional coffin among the great men whose fame and monuments stamp honour and lustre on this sacred divi sion of the Abbey, consecrated to the Muses. The books of the Cathedral were examined, and oral testimony sought in all directions likely to afford information ; and, after all, sufficient space could only be found for one ad ditional coffin, in the midst of many of Mr. Sheridan's admired and illustrious predecessors. On the eastern side is the full-length statue of the im mortal Shakspeare ; and on the western side the full length statue of the accomplished Addison, whose coun tenances seem apparently directed to the very spot so dis covered for the deposit of Mr. Sheridan, surrounded by the relics of Garrick, Cumberland, S. Johnson, Handel, and Henderson—Bowe, Thomson, Goldsmith, and Gay ; in the midst of whom, directly between Handel and Johnson, the remains of Sheridan have found a resting place, with Cumberland at his side. Thus, though by a private ceremonial, the most dis tinguished honours were paid to the funeral of a man whose talents and genius have enriched and embellished the literature and eloquence of his country, and of his age ; he lies now surrounded by a constellation of kindred excellence, who conferred lustre on the days in which they lived ; in that sacred and ancient repository of British greatness, among artists and poets, and sages, and statesmen, and heroes, and kings. In enumerating the early and steadfast friends of Mr. Sheridan, who were prevented from attending his funeral, we ought to have mentioned Lord John 'Townshend, who was only prevented from paying his last mournful duty by the alarming relapse of his own son, who was at that moment in great danger, but from which he is now hap pily recovering. Lord John Townsland was one of the oldest, we may say, the very earliest, of Mr. iSheridan's , political Mends ; and we cannot so feelingly express his ' set:Alumni s on the loss of this most distinguished character, as in his own words. In a letter to a friend, stating the melancholy cause of his absence, he says— "l am one of NI ear:iest i; uds. He, I, and poo' Tickell (whose memory, with all his faults, will e :cc be dear to me), lived together in the closest habits of friendship troni,etir. liest life—long before Mr. Sheridan), introduction into public life—before lhe VUU n na's appeal anee,"- I)Citi re he was known to Fox, to whom I had the pleasure of first introducing him. I made the tint flintier party at which they met ; having told F 41% that all the notions lie might have conceived of Sheridan's talents and es 'fins, front the comedy of The itirnlft, &e. would fall In finitely short of the admiration of hie astonishing powers, which I was, sure he would entertain at the first interview. This first interview het w een them ( there were very few present, only Tickoll and uis‘lf, and out. or two more) I shall nowt forget. JULY Fox told me after our lorezer.ing up from dinner, that he had alwrh•s thought Hare oiler my Uncle, Charles Townshend) the wittiest man he ever met with, but that Sheridan surpassed them troth infinitely. And that Si the next day told Inc, that he WWI quite lost in admiration of Fox—and that it Avp{ p urz'e to hint to say what he admired most—his commanding save. riority of talent and • •ersal knowledge, or has play - ful faoe, artless manners, and the benevolence ot• heart which sheaved itself in every word he tittered. Ever afterwards we coadium intimate ly and closely connected to the hour of his death, and Hot fling could give me a severer pang than to have it supposed that 1 was remiss in my duties open the last sad occasion." The list of distin,guished literary characters, who join ed iu the cuatposition of the Rolliard and Probationary Odes, is now reduced into a narrow compass ; the follow iag having paid the common debt of Nature shire the original publication of them ; viz. Messrs. Fox, Burke, Tickel, G. Ellis, Whitbread, J. Riclua•dson, Dr. Law. rence, Mr. Hare, Col. Fitzpatrick, and 'Mr. Sheridan. The coffin of the late Mr. Sheridan is placed longitu dinally, East and West ; at his feet lies that of Dr..lohn son, the Colossus of Modern British Literature ; and at the head the remains of the matchless Handel are moul dering into duvet. I muiediately on his righ the earthly part of the respectable I henderson reposes; ad ,icing whose. grave is that of Cumberland, the British Terrace. " Oft let inc range the gloomy aisles alone, "Sad In miry ! to vnigar minds unknown." As circumstances of coincidence, we have to observe, that Gen. Brereton, whose death we have announced, was one of the oldest and most intimate friends of Mr. Sheri dan, and connected with him by marriage. Mrs. Jordan, whose death also happened about the same time, owed to the discriminating taste and judgment of Mr. Sheri dan, her first professional engagement at Drury-lane Theatre. Mr. Sheridan's Speech in Westminster Hall was pre. served by the care of the late Duke of Norfolk. It was in his house, near Dorking, that Mr. Sheridan left it, it's one of the old-fashioned cupboards that used to be formed, under window-scats. The Duke had lent the house to Mr. S. for a year or two ; and on retuniing to it, he fimnd the only copy of it then in existence. A few nights after wards, he met the Orator at Brookes's and pressed him to publish the speech. Mr. S. said it was his intention to do so, and that he had by him a perfect Report of it.— The Duke contrived to make him repeat his mistake seve ral times, and then raised a laugh by throwing the Manu. script on the table.

Mas. JORDAN..—It is very true, that during the resi dence of this fascinating actress near Boulogne, and sub sequently near Paris, Mrs. Jordan lived under the as sumed name of Mrs. James. In the most splendid era of, her life, Nln. Jordan was fond of retirement. On her departure for France, she was neither in good health nor spirits; and in changing her name, her object was the free enjoyment of greater privacy than, as Alm. Jordan, she could have expected in the great influx of English to that part of France. A letter from an English Gentleman at Boulogne, of the 13th, states, that Mery serious disturbance, in which some British Officers were implicated, occurred on the pre ceding evening at the Theatre of that place. Several of our Oilicers who went to the Theatre were, as usual, in dulged with permission to go Lehind the scenes ; when a Lieutenant of Dragoons, who was inebriated, took liber ties with the performers, stripping the handkerchief from the neck of one of them ; which being resented, led to the affray which ensued. A scuffle took place, blows were struck on both sides, the perfiirmances were sus pended, and the Guards were sent for. These speedily arrived with their Commandant at their bead, but the disorder had risen to too violent a height to be suppressed by their appearance. On the contrary, it seemed rather to have increased the tumult :—" the French soldiery began, it is stated, to act in bilpport of their Command ant, whose epaulettes Oase imprudent young men had torn from his shoulders. One of our Officers, a Lieu tenant, received three wounds in different parts of his lxxly ; from which, however, it is expected and hoped he will recover, as he was deemed the most inoffensive of the party. Gem Vivian was expected at Boulogne for the purpose of assisting iu the investigation; anal no doubt but that whatever is due to our military discipline and national character will be done. The Officers were here on leave of absence, and not on duty." The opening of the Germani* Dust, is postponed till the middle of next month. Miim•we IS6
