FURRUGKABAD, or the Happy Abode, is a town 
of Hindostan, in the district of the same name, and c¢a- 
pital of the province of Agra. It is situated at a short 
distance from. the west bank of the Ganges, and was 
built about 100 years ago by a Patan colony. The 
streets are wide, and the houses and open places are 
shaded with trees. In consequence of the vicinity of 
the British cantonments, the town is flourishing, and 
carries on a considerable trade. ‘There is here a civil 
establishment for the administration of justice, and the 
collection of the revenue. Close to Furruckabad is the 
town of Futtygur, where a brigade of troops is usually 
cantoned, East Long. 79° 33’, and North Lat. 27° 23’.

_. FURNITURE stop, on the organ, in music, is a dou- 
ble or triple, &c. range of pipes, sometimes called the 
mixture stop. The tune of these ranges of pipes are 
XXIV,.XXVI, XXIX, &c. respectively, above the pitch 
of the diapasons. This stop is rarely used but with the 
sesquialtera and other compound stops ; and this med- 
ley of sound to every note, is said by some to “ en- 
rich” the instrument: but whatever may prove to be 
their hitherto untried effect on a (Liston’s) Eunarmonic 
Organ, (see that article), the confusion of rattling loud 
beats, constantly heard on common organs using these 
stops, is not less offensive to good ears, than Dr Robert 
Smith has described in his Harmonics, 2d edit. pp. 80 
and 227. (¢) 
FURTH is a large and populous town of Germany, 
in the circle of Franconia, situated on the river Red- 
nitz, some leagues from Nuremberg, on the road from 
that town to. I'ranckfort, With the exception of the 
new parts of the town, Furth is very irregularly built, 
and is a mere mass of houses without order. Manufac- 
tures constitute the principal riches of this industrious 
town. Mirrors are made here to a great extent, and 
almost all those which bear the name of Nuremberg are 
manufactured at Furth. Each mirror, before it is fi- 
nished, passes. through the hands of more than twelve 
different workmen. Articles turned out of wood and 
metal, clocks, jewellery goods, chains of watches, nee- 
dies, buckles, snuff-boxes, and a great many other similar 
articles, are manufactured here. There is here also a 
manufacture of tobacco, which is successfully culti- 
vated in the neighbourhood. A_ considerable trade is 
carried on in’ wines, which are much esteemed, and 
which are made principally at Sommerhausen, Rund- 
suck, Sommerach, Westheim, &c. The commerce of 
this place is greatly facilitated by the junction of the 
Peignita with the Rednitz, which are then naviga-

FURTHCOMING, or Fortrucomine, in the law of 
Scotland, is that process by which an arrestment is fol- 
lowed up and made effectual. It is brought at the in- 
stance of the arresting creditor, who calls the common 
debtor before the j to hear sentence given, order- 
ing the debt to be paid, or the effects arrested to be de- 
livered up. ; 
The decree in an action of furthcoming operates as 
a legal assignation to the arrester, which cannot be de- 
feated by the poinding of co-creditors.’ See Arnrst-

_FUTTIPOOR, or Furrenpoor, is a town or ; 
village of Hindostan, in the province of Agra. It. 
encircled with a stone wall of great extent, built by the 
Emperor Akbar. The enclosed s does not seem to 
have been filled with buildings, and the inhabited part is 
an inconsiderable village. A hilly ridge of consi 
height divides this , and extends about 4 or 5 miles 
beyond the wall. The materials og which the houses 
are built comes from the neighbouring hills, which are 
composed of a greyish rock. On the highest part of 
the rock, near centre of the enclosure, stands the 
tomb of Shah Selim Cheestee, in consequence of whose 
devotion the Empress of Akbar is supposed to have be- 
come t after remaining several years barren. 
The approach to this mausoleum is extremely grand. 
An ancient palace of Akbar stands upon the same ridge.
