As to the immediate mourners, including the servants of the Queen's household, we never saw more onn.quivocal and affected sorrow. When the prayer was finished, and la:lore the mourners left the tooth, the hundred ynting ladies were admitted, and formed a large circle round the platform : they strewed flowers on the floor; and then havinc prepared sonic wreaths, arranged them in different limns on the coffin ; they then knelt down, uttered a short prayer, and retired amidst the tears and sobs of the company. Even Sir G. Nayler, was visibly affected by this beautiful and pathetic inci dent. The funeral was over about two, and in less than half an hour the streets were completely empty, and all was as silent as the tomb to which the Queen had just been solemnly consigned. Thus ended the funeral of the amiable and perse cuted Queen of England. The hand of power was to the last exerted to deprive her of her just rights, and to the last the love of the people dekated the malice of her enemies. She chose rightly in choos ing to be buried at Brunswick. In England she had faithful friends, but there her enemies were powerful and brutal; and the expression of their enmity might have violated even the sanctity of the tomb: in Brunswick she was loved and idolized by all classes, from the great officer of state to the meanest pauper. In England her dust might have been mingled with that of some of her cruellest persecutors: in Brunswick she will be mingled with the congenial ashes of heroic relatives and dearest friends. Our readers will not be sur prised to learn, that the frank and affectionate Brunswickers feel no very good-will to England, which they consider as the land of suffering and persecution to their beloved Princess ; but nothing could exceed the respect and kind regard they showed to those faithful English, who, having fought the good fight for her while alive, now with sincere and disinterested attachment accompanied the remains of their broken-hearted mistress to a distant grave.— Among the English present, were Lord and Lady Hood, Lady Anne Hamilton, Dr. and Mrs. Lush ington, Mrs. and Mrs. Wilde, Alderman Wood, and his son, the Rev. T. Wood, Mr. Hownam, and Mr. Wilson (son of Sir Robert): amongst the Foreigners, Count Vassali and Capt. Hesse: Mr. Austin and the household were all there also. _ It is right to mention, that the executors applied at Brunswick, before the funeral, to Mr. Calvert to restore the plate which had been taken off' the Queen's coffin at Colchester; and that Mr. Calvert answered, tlu.t he conceived himself to be without authority to comply with their request. After the funeral the executors made a second application, but we believe without success; it was, however, clearly understood, that if the plate should be restored, the actual authorities at Brunswick would offer no opposition to its being placed on the coffin.—On Sunday the 26th ultimo, a funeral sermon was preached by Mr. Wolff, at which all the mourners attended.

Limbos : SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER S. --•••■■•-- Mr. Alderman W,:ithman has very properly ad dressed Lord Bathurst (in the absence of Lord Sid mouth, the Secretary for the Home Department,) on the subject of the outrageous conduct of the Life Guards on Sunday last, and a document more cre ditable has seldom been seen. We would by no means " set down aught in malice," but we hesitate not to say that the regiment was disgraced that day, and of the officer's conduct, we may add, that he be haved nunlike a gentleman, unlike a man, and cer. THE NATIONAL REGISTER tainly unlike a British officer. It is for Government to apprize us, by the line of conduct adopted in this instance, whether or not the military power is to supersede the Constitution, whether or not the wicommaided sword is to replace our Statutes, whether or not the highest Civil Power we know, is, in the person of a High Sheriff of the first county in the Kingdom, to be set at nought, and himself to be threatened with assassina tion by a lawless and infuriate soldiery. No praise of the worthy Sheriff can reach his deserts—his courage, coolness, presence of mind, and conciliation, doubtless saved the flowing of torrents of blood on Sunday last, and if England do not, in imitation of the Roman senate, present her citizens with a civic crown for saving the life of a fellow -creature, Mr. IVaitliman's brow will be adorned with a chaplet of gratitude, woven by the hundreds whom his firmness saved from butchery in this instance—those who would have been widoWs and orphans will pray for the Preserver of their husbands and fathers, and the recollection of the events of that day will solace him at the most fearful period of his life—on his death bed. We much fear the line of conduct Ministers mean to adopt, may be anticipated from the tone of my Lord Bathurst's reply to Mr. Sheriff Waithman's statement—it is not so decided as the Letter of Thanks of Lord Sidmouth, after the Manchester murders, but it isinthe sane, key.—Mr.Waithman's rejoinder will be read with pleasure, by all those who would rather live under the Constitution, than under the rule of Sword and Carbine. A partial change of Administration, it is said, will take place on the King's return from his Irish revelli ags.—We shall hail with delight any change, by which may be introduced a single Member to the Cabinet, who would rather England should be ruled by Love than Fear—who would prefer the adoption of mcans to conciliate the affections of the people, to making them the subjects from time to time of Military Slaughter and Tyranny. Loc.tl► NoTEs.—A public meeting was held on Thursday, the 23d, in the Exchange dining roma, Manchester (pursuant to a requisition) " to consider of the measures necessary for securing a satisfactory currency of these towns and neighbourhood, in con sequence of the cessation of the issue of small notes by the Bank of England." The meeting was very numerously and most respectably attended. About half-past eleven o'clock the Baroughreeve was called to the chair. A series of resolutions was then read to the meeting, stating strongly the well known in• convenience of a currency depending on private se curity. The eflicien t resolutions were the following: " lhat the loliou ing declaration be adopted by the tut twig and recommended to the inhabitants at large:— " MA NCHNITER, Aun. 23, 1821.—We, the undersigned, being deeply impressed with the inconvenience and danger to be apprehended from the circulation of local notes in this great mercantile town, do hereby declare it to he our inten tion nut to receive any such notes in payment after the lilst instant, except iu caws of extreme neces3ily; in all %%Inch sic pledge ourselves not to circulate such mutes." Moved by Mr. Richard Owen, seconded by Mr. Allen, and resolved unanimously— " That the getalr men who signed the requisition for this meeting be appointed a c 11111 l Mute, with power to add to their number, tor the purpose of carrying the preceding re solutions into ellect, and of procuring the cooperation of the nu•rchlmts and manufacturers, shopkeepers, and others, in such steps as may he tbuudht tics eSgily with the view of ;ore venting the iutiod Lino of a dangerous and utr-atisfactory currency into this important commercial district; and that any tire may be competent to act." SPORTING.—The Grand Jury of the county of Bedford, at the late Assizes, entered into the fol lowing resolution:— " We, the Gentlemen of the Grand Jury of the county of Bedford, assembled at the Summer Assizes, having taken into consideration the very backward state of the growing crops, and the injury the cultivators of the land would therefore sustain, if their farms were to be intetieted with by sportstmai so early as the ist day of September, do resolve, that we will not begin to shoot, and that we will make use of all legal means to prevent others from shooting upon our estates respectively before Friday the 1-stli of September, in the present year; anti we recommend this present resolution to the adoption of the land owners in ge neral, for the protection of the farmers." The St. Antonio, from Lisbon to Barcelona, was captured on the ?9th ult. on the coast of Huelba, by an armed brig, and a xebec under Spanish colour*, which, after taking out the cargo, part of the pro visions, and plundering the crew and passengers, allowed her to proceed, and she arrived at CAdis the Stst ult. A gentleman shooting grouse on the hills of the Hon. W. Maule, last week, discovered a covey of young partridges, almost full grown, a considerable way in the Grampians, under the protection of a muir-cock and hen. The old partridges were not present. We leave it to naturalists to determine whether the grouse had taken possession of the par tridges' nest, and hatched their brood; or whether they had taken the brood under their protection after the parent birds had been destroyed. A snake's nest was last week discovered in the vicinity of Truro. It was singularly constructed, and contained 14 eggs, of a dirty white colour, about the size of those of the blackbird. One of the eggs being broken, a young snake. perfectly formed, of a dark colour, was exposed to view, cu riously coiled round the inside of the shell. On being freed from its confinement it raised its head and unwound itself to the extent of six inches, with all the activity peculiar to these supple animals. A few days since, Mrs. Prowse, who lives at Mount Edgcumbe Lodge, near Plymouth, left a basket of live cockles outside the door, and on her return found a robin which had flown into the basket, vainly endeavouring to escape from one o f the shell-fish, which had caught the bird by the foot, and preserved its hold with such teuacity, as to deprive the little flutterer of two claws before he could be extricated. _ _ It is said the King was not quite pleased with the Bank of Ireland. Instead of shewiug the cash room in its proper form and appearance, it was con verted into a sort of theatre, in which his Majesty was dwitibited. The Governors and Directors ap. peat cd in their common habiliments, instead of being full dressed, as was their duty. When they ushered his Majesty to the apartment where the nutes were struck off, the key was not to be found; and to crown all, and accomplish the acme of their bad taqe, they placed the chair for his Majesty behind tite statue of his royal father, of blessed memory ! It created a sensation which was visible; but, perhaps, not clearly definable. Anecdote of Lord Chiff Justice llolt..—Durin4 riot in Holborn, when the populace were about to pull down a crimping-horse. a body of guards were ordered to march from Whitehall to disperse Cie mob. An officer was dispatched to the Lord Chief Justice, to acquaint hint with the design, and to desire him to send some of his people to attend the soldiers, in order to give it'the better countenan:c. The officer having delivered his message; the Lord ChicfJustice said to him, " Suppose the populLee should not disperse at your appearance, what are y to do then !" Sir,'' answered the officer, " have orders to fire upon them."—" Have you, 'Sir" replied his Lordship, " then take notice of what I say ; if there be cno man and you are triA beibre me, I will take care you, and every solai._>r of your party shall be hanged. " Sir," added he, go back to those who sent you, and acquaint them, that no officer of mine shall attend soldiers; and :et them know at the saute time, that the laws of this kingdom are not to be executed by the sword; these matters belong to the civil power, and you have nothing to do with them." Upon which he ordered his tipstatfs with a few constables to repair to t!:.; place ; and the minute they appeared there was an end to the riot.
