NEWS OF THE WEEK.

We may take exception to the incongruous gayety that attended the march to his grave, with all its pomp and show : but his kindly spirit would pro- bably look with charity on any occasion which gave a holyday to our overworked people, and not regret to be associated, even in

• death, with their pleasures, as he certainly was in life never impli- cated in their afflictions.
