In that high command his Royal Highness continued to manage our military affairs. During the last years of the most momentous war that ever was waged, his Royal Highness prepared the most splendid victories our annals boast, by an unceasing attention to the character and talents of the officers, and the comforts and health of the men. Trained under a system so admirable, our army seemed to increase in efficacy, power, and even in numbers, in proportion to the increasing rasion which the public had for their services. Nor is it a less praise, that when the men so disciplined returned from scenes of battle, raraged countries, and stormed cities, they reasmed the habits of private life as if they had never left them; and that of all the crimes which the criminal calendar presents, (in Scotland at least, there are not above one or two instances in which the perpetrators have been disbanded soldiers. This is a happy change since the reduction of the army, after peace with America in 1783, which was the means of infesting the country with ruffians of every description; and in the prison of Edinburgh alone, there were six or seven disbanded soldiers under sentence of death at the same time. nities to press her suit; and, doing to his should be devoted to this occasion; than which walls, and now so appropriate to spectacle in Royal Highness the justice he well deserved, it is impossible to imagine any building more which the principal object is the latest commewelcomed him back, in May 1811, to the situa- finely constructed to display the last sad scene moration of one so dear to British soldiers. tion from which he had been driven by calumny of mortal greatness.

THE LYING IN STATE AND FUNERAL. WE record with sorrow the death of this distinguished member of the royal family. All the circumstances and actions of his life which industry (and sometimes report) could disover, have filled the public journals since that melancholy event, on Friday the 5th of this month. It is not our province to enter into these: all we have to say of the illustrious dead, and, in saying it, we believe we define character in its truest light, is, that he was A GENUINE ENGLISHMAN. From the deep interest felt by all classes on the subject of his funeral, and knowing that many thousands of our readers distant from the metropolis must be peculiarly anxious to be informed respecting that solemn ceremony, we have taken some pains to lay before them an account as could only be derived from the best authorities. It is known that his Royal Highness died at the house of his attached friend the Duke of Rutland, in Arlington Street; which, how ever, afforded no space nor conveniencies for these funereal state ceremonials which were ted to the royal and military dignities of the dereased. The King of England, moved alike by brotherly affection and a desire to pay due honours to so distinguished a branch of his famaly, directed that his own palace of St. James's rank.] At the east end of the room, on a We should now (as giving information to our readers) revert to the entrance. The visitors to this silent farewell of a beloved Prince will be admitted through the hall, on court occasions appropriated to those who have the privilege of the entrée, (the Ambassador's Court).

While the service is performing, his Royal Highness the Duke of Clarence, as chief mourner, will be seated at the head of the coffin: the Dukes of Wellington, Rutland, Dorset, Newcastle, and the other no blemen who are pall-bearers, on either side. At the conclusion, the coffin, which is very heavy, will be lowered into the vault by the machine invented by the late Mr. Wyatt for interring Lord Nelson, and moved at once into the niche destined for its final reception. Garter King at Arms will at this moment proclaim the Royal Duke's style; and thus will terminate his all of earthly affections and greatness, except what a sorrowing family, many sincere friends, and many attached adherents, retain of the former, and what a grateful army, an approving coun try, and impartial history, will cherish of the latter. MISS ELIZABETH BENGER. On Tuesday morning, January 9th, died, after a short illness, deeply regretted, Elizabeth O. Benger, author of several interesting and popular works, chiefly biographical and his torical. This admirable and excellent woman, a rare instance of female genius struggling into day through obstacles which might well have daunted even the bolder energies of manly enterprise, was born at the city of Wells, in 1778. Her father, late in life, was impelled by an adventurous disposition to enter the navy, and ultimately became a purser. The vicissi tudes of his fortune occasioned, during many years, a distressing fluctuation in the plans and prospects of his wife and daughter; and his death abroad, in 1796, left them finally with a slender provision. For some years after this event, Miss Benger resided with her mother in Wiltshire, where she had many affectionate of her.

In the play before us, we look in vain for these excellencies. The incidents do not work well together. The situations which are the most effective are broad farce (that of the regatta and the dance is something worse), and the whole family of the Rylands are so excessively moral in their conversation, that we are under no apprehension of their falling into difficulties or temptation. The School for Grown Children has three separate interests. The first turns upon the efforts of an old Nabob to reclaim an extravagant son; and the method he adopts is to exhibit in his own person similar vices and excesses, that the young man may become disgusted, and abandon Es ruinous course of life.

The Institutes of Gaius, recently discovered in Italy, by the learned men of Germany, is precisely the elementary book of the Roman law, which at Rome the professors (antecessores) used to put into the hands of youth; and indeed it was from the Institutes of Gaius, that Justinian derived the greater part of those which bear his name. They were little known to the moderns, except by scattered fragments in the Digest, and by what the Breviarium Alaricianum contained of them; when, in the year 1816, M. Niebuhr deciphered from a palimpsest in the library of the Chapter of Verona, the early pages of the book, which was ultimately entirely restored by the labours of Messrs. Goeschen, Bekker, and Holweg. Immediately after the publication of this discovery, this new classic, (which exhibited the elements of a legislation three centuries prior to that of Justinian, and of which the various branches ceased to be in harmony when that emperor introduced into it a heap of innovations, some of which were inconsistent with its ancient principles), was adopted in teaching the Roman law. The difficulties of the text to students are, however, considerable. M. Boulet, a Parisian advocate, has published a translation of the work into French, with explanatory notes, and with conjectural fillings up of several little gaps which still exist in the original. M.

Orders for this paper may be given to any Newsman or Postmaster in Great Britain. It will be delivered free of postage. To Advertisers. The Proprietor wishes to call attention to the fact that Advertisements sent to the Sunday Times are inserted in the whole of the Impression, which is not the case with most other Sunday Papers, whose Sale consists of two distinct Impressions, (one printed on Saturday, and the other on Monday,) in both of which Advertisements are not inserted unless paid for as for two separate papers; so that the Sunday Times will prove the best channel for Advertisements, as it offers by far the greatest sale of any paper now published. Paragraph Advertisements are also inserted. IBBON'S HISTORY of the DECLINE Publisher, 72, Fleet Street, London. Families and Young Persons. Reprinted from the original Text, Ly THOMAS BOWDLER, Esq. F.R.S. S.A. The Family Shakspeare, in which nothing is "We are of opinion that it requires nothing more than a notice, to bring this very meritorious publication into general circulation."-Edinburgh Review, No. 71. The objects which the Proprietor had in view in the establishment of this paper were, to present the public with a more original, accurate, and concise summary of all the interesting events of the week (including the latest intelligence of all kinds up to the moment of publication), and also to devote a fair space to original articles on Foreign and Domestic Politics, Manners, Literature, &c. No comment can enhance the exposition of such a circulation to those most interested in it; nor can any thing be more gratifying to those who trace, in the encouragement of an independent journal, the progress of generous and enlightened principles. It is requested that Advertisers will be particular to send direct to the Sunday Times Office, No. 72, as there are other papers called the Times in Fleet Street. |
