safe and honourable asylum. They were 
favourably received by the royal family; and 
the Duke of Montpensicr, in particular, met 
with a sympathy, capable, ic any thing were 
so, of alieviating his sufferings. Her Majesty 
even condescended to ‘urnish him with va- 
rious articles of accommodation from her own 
palace, the duke terminated a career marked 
by misfortune, sorrow, and distress, witha 
constancy of mind and elevation o: character 
which would have insured applause in the 
high station to which he was born. In tie 
short space of 32 years, he manitested exem- 
plary firmness and magnanimity, united with 
uncommon talents. At the tender age of 16, 
he displayed heroic courage in Champagne, 
and particularly at the battie of Jemappes. 
But his example is perhaps still more bene- 
ficial, when considered as supportiog with for- 
titude the privations and adversities of exile, 
whilst it attords a lesson of moderation to 
those of tne highest honours and rank of lile. 
His remains were deposited, on the 26th of 
May, in Westminster Abbey, wich great fu- 
neral pomp; but it is expected that the bedy 
wili be renioved to France, wnen peace per 
mits. It was brought from Salt-hill, where 
the duke died, on Monday, and lay in state, 
in Kingestrect Chapel, Portman-square, till 
removed to Westminster Abvey. ‘Tbe Duke 
of Bourbon was chief mourner; and the car- 
riages of the Duke of Sussex, Duke of York, 
and Prince of Wales, attended tne funeral. 
At his house, in Queen-street, Brompton, 
aged 64, LWicholas Bond, esq. of the public 
office in bow-street He was an active, vi- 
gilant, and able magistrate. Initiated in the 
school of the celeurated Sir John Fielding, 
he possessed in an uncommon degree the best 
qualities of his master. Endowed with a 
good natural und:rstanding, his legal know- 
ledge ana sound judgment were eminently 
conspicuous. Hewas a warm and a zealous 
friend ; bad the affections of the mind with 
the glow of sincerity; and with those whom 
he respected and loved, could unbend to the 
free participation of the social virtues. Al- 
ways befriending the honest pour in opposition 
to the tyrannic rich, the former viewed him 
with gratitude and admiration. In his pro- 
fessional pursuits his memory was surprizingly 
tenacious, never forgetting 4 circumstance 
that was worthy of remembrance. His con- 
versation was there.ore fertile in anecdote ; 
and his li.e filled a great space in the cye of 
the public. A stranger to the refinements of 
the world, le was simple and unatiected in 
his manners; and although the purity, and 
even austerity of his conduct, might to some

men appear censurable, yet they were by no 
means unvecoming the charaeter ot deport- 
ment of an upright magistrate. In cases of 
@ common or trivial nature, he at times 
seemed to evince a laxity of attention; but 
although he might be supposed to slumber 
over what was unworthy of te exercise of his 
great powers, yet justice was never asleepe 
With an excellent fund of manly cloguence, 
witha mind /orcibleand veliem-nt, when roused 
into an extraordinary display of his penetrating 
vigour, he-shone most when combatting the 
subtleties or genius of a counsel for a prisoner. 
Thus, in the words of a distinguished actor, 
like a yreat performer on the stage, he re- 
served himself, as it were, for the last act, 
and after he had played his part wth dignity, 
resolved to finish it with honour.

Fokn Wasdale, %.D formerly of Carlisle. 
At the coronation of the present king, he 
swent from Carlisle to London in 28 hours, 
upon horseback; was present at the ceree 
mony, and returned tliere again in 50 hours, 
after an absence of five nights, taree of which 
he siept in London. His loss will be severe 
ly felt by the natives of Carlisle resident im 
the metropolis, to whom he was ever sine 
cerely attached ard ready to give his profess 
sional assistance. He held the honorary office 
of prrvate secretary to his Grace the Duke of 
Norfolk, which-ine discharged with the greate 
est punctuality and honour.

tery to speak of Mir. Stanbope as he deserved, 
whose hope waz engaged, during a life of 20 
years, in the attainment of a blessed and glo. 
riuus immortality; yet it may be a proper 
tribute to his memory to say, that he ranked 
among the best classic scholars of his time, 
and possessea no commun measure of manly 
sense and brijliant wit, His polive urbanity 
of manners, his attention to serve and delight, 
hig integrity uf mind, his extensive yet modest 
charity, so besutifuily described by St. Paul, 
‘¢ which seeketh not her own;” his loyalty 
and affection to tlie royal ‘amily (particularly 
to thie gueen, whom he attended trom Mecke 
lenburgh Strelitz to this country, and bad 
the honour to serve more than 40 years) ; 
but above all, his constant and strict regard 
to the du.ies of religion, crowned his long 
life with exeem, and rendered his death 
decpiy to be d-plored, tor theirown sakes, by 
ail who had the pleasure of his acquaintance. 
His remains have been removed, to be buried 
in the tamiily vault at Vithby, in Notting~-
