FREEMASONRY. Funeral of brother John Ripfon, late of Lodge No. 128, Exeter, and Provincial Grand Tyler for Devon. This masonic funeral, which excited considerable interest, ook place on Saturday, when there was a very large attendance. The body lay in state from eight o'clock in the morning till ten, md the public were admitted by tickets; but such was the want it" arrangement, that, from the continual rush of crowds at the joor, numbers who had tickets were unable to obtain an entrance into the room.

It was announced that the procession would form at eleven, but there was a delay of more than two hours, which occasioned great impatience among the numbers assembled outside, and led to much nose and levitv. Inconsequence of an objection made by the Rev. Incumbent of St. Sidwells, the masonic ceremonies intended to be performed in the church-yard, were gone through in the room, and to witness these a large number of the uninitiated were anxious to be present. The delay and want of regularity and good management in admitting the invited visitors, again led to much confnsion, to the great alarm of many ladies, some of whom, with considerable difficulty, gained an entrance to the Lodge, and others retired.

There being as many admitted as the room would conveniently accommodate, the ceremonies commenced, Rev. Dr. Carwithen, Deputy- Provincial Grand Master, having taken the Chair, supported by his banner-bearer and official attendants. As we are not of the ancient Craft, we cannot lay open to our readers the peculiar forms which took place during the time the lodge was close tvled. We believe, however, we are correct in slating that it was opened in the third degree, by the Master of the Lodge, to which the deceased belonged, when the anthem, Almighty God, our heavenly King was sung.

The coffin was opened, arid moral sentences relating to death were read, and responded to by the brethren. The honours were then given, and certain peculiar masonic forms used; solemn music was afterwards performed, during which the Rev. Dr. strewed herbs and flowers over the body in ancient form. The P.

G. Secretary. Denis Moore, then delivered the sacred roll to the D. P. G.

who raised it above the coffin, and said, Let us die the death of the righteous, and let our last end be like his." The Brethren answered, "God is our God, for ever and ever: He will be our guide unto death." The Dr. then deposited the roll in the coffin, and said, Almighty Father, into thy hands we commend the soul of our loving brother." The brethren responded three times, The will of God is accomplished, so be it." This response, (the word being given with deep and solemn emphasis by Mr. W. D. Moore, the P.

G. 5.,) was extremely affecting. The grand honours were then given thrice. We understand that these ceremonies were particularly solemn and awe-inspiring, so much so, that when the herbs and flowers were strewed on the body, the sublime music performing, tears were in the eyes of most of those present. We return now to the commencement of the ceremonies when the public had been Rev.

Dr. Carwithen having taken the Chair, charged the brethren upon their fidelity as masons, to order: the band of the Royal South Devon Yeomanry then entered the room, playing the Dead March in Saul, after which the Rev. Doctor explained to the brethren, that at the special request of the deceased, and there not being time to communicate with the Grand Lodge, he had granted the Dispensation for the funeral to be performed with masonic honours. He then stated that it was a fundamental rule and law of Masonry, that they should obey the civil and ecclesiastical powers in the country where they might be and as objections had been made by the Incumbent of St. Sidwells, who had the best feeling towards their order, he had thought it right to have the ceremonies which were intended to have been gone through in the church-yard, performed in that place, and to admit the public to witness them.

The Rev. Dr. then proceeded to the head of the coffin, where he delivered a solemn prayer, and the brethren responded, "So mote it be." A masonic hymn was then sung, which commenced, Unto thee, great God, belong Mystic rites and sacred song This hymn, the music for which was the composition of our talented townsman, Mr. Kellow Pye, was most beautifully sung by the Cathedral choristers and some of the brethren effect was truly sublime. The Rev.

Dr. Carwithen then delivered an impressive eulogium on the deceased brother, who, he said. though in humble life, was, as a Mason, truly great in heart." The Dr. enumerated the attainments of the late brother John Rippon in the masonic order, and alluded, with much feeling, to his many public and private virtues. then delivered the Funeral Oration nearly as follows The presentrccasion presents to oar view a striking instance of the uncertainty of life, and demonstrates the vanity of all human pursuits.

As the last offices paid to the dead are only useful as they are lectures to the living-, we ought to derive instruction from them, and consider every solemnity of this kind as a summons to prepare for our own approaching dissolution. Notwithstanding the various mementos of mortality with which we daily meet; notwithstanding we are convinced that death has established his empire over all the works of nature, yet, through some unaccountable infatuation, we are still apt to forget we were born to die. We go oo from one desigu to another, add hope to hope, and lay cut plans for the subsistence and employment of many years, till we are suddenly alarmed with the approach of death when we least expected him, and at an hour which we had probably concluded to be the meridian of our existence. What are all the externals of majesty, the pride of wealth, or charms 01 beauty, nature claims her just debt! Let us for a moment throw our eyes on the last scene, view life stript of her ornaments, and exposed in her natural meanness, and we shall then be convinced of the futility of these empty delusions. In the grave all fallacies are detected, ail ranks are levelled, and all distinctions are done away.

As, therefore, life is uncertain, and all earthly pursuits are vain, let us no longer postpone the important concern of preparing for eternity. Let us embrace the happy moment while time and opportunity offer, in providing with care against that great change, when the transitory pleasures of this world can no longer delight us, and the reflections of a life spent in the exercise of piety and virtue yield the only comfort and consolation. While we rop Wie sympathetic tear over the grave of our deceased friend and brother, let Charity induce us to threw a veil over his foihlei, whatever they may have been, and let us not withhold from his memory the praise his virtues may have claimed. Suffer the apologies of human nature to plead in his behalf. Perfection has never been attained by mortals, and, as may be seen in the pages of that Sacred Book (the Bible), which ever lays open in our lodges, tire wisest as well as the best of men have erred, and felt it necessary to look for mercy and forgiveness from Heaven.

Themeritorious actions of our deceased brother, then, let us imitate, and from his weaknesses derive instruction. Let the example of his fate excite our serious consideration, and strengthen our resolutions of amendment, lest our expectations be frustrated, and we be hurried unprepared into the presence of our all-wise and powerful Judge, to whom the secrets of all hearts are known, and trom whose dread tribunal none can escape. Let us support, with propriety, the character of our profession on every occasion, advert to the natuie of our solemn engagements, and supplicate the Divine Grace tc enable us to pursue with unwearied assiduity the sacred tenets of our order. Thus shall we secure the tavour of that Eternal Being whose goodness and whose power can kuow no bound, and prosecute our journey without dread or apprehension, to a far distant country, from which no traveller returns. By the light of the Divine countenance we shall pass, without trembling, through those gloomy mansions where ail things are forgot'en ard at that treat and tremendous day, when arraigned at the bar of' Divine Justice, judgment shall be pronounced in our favour, we shall receive the reward of our virtue by acquiring the possession of an immoital inheritance, where joy flows in one continual stream and no mound can check its course.

Invocations were made, and responded to as follows D.P.G.M.—"May we be true and faithful, and may we live and die in love." So mote it be." D.P.G.M. we profess what is good, and act agreeably to our professions." So mote it be." D.P.G.M. the Lord bless us and prosper us, and may all our good intentions be crowned with success." Response. So mote it be." A solemn Dirge was then performed by the band. Rev.

Dr. Carwithen, alter this pronounced the Exhertation to the following effect: has from time immemorial been an established custom among the members of this ancient and honourable Society, when requested by a brother, to accompany his remaios to the place interrtent, and there to deposit his remains. In conformity with this laudable usage, and att special request of our deceased brother, whose memory we revere and whose loss we deplore, we are here assembled, under legal dispensation, and protected by the laws of our country, in the form and character of Masons, to resign his body to the enrth from whence it came, and to offer up the last tribute of fraternal affection and regard to his memory; thereby demonstrating to the world the sincerity of our past our steady attachment to the principles of our honourable order. With all proper respect to the established customs ot U.e country in which we reside, with due deference to our superiors in Church and State, and witli unlimited good will to all mankind, we desire to comprehend within the sphere ot our influence, not only those ef our order, but every son of Adam, here appear in the character of our profession- Invested with the badges ot our sacred Institution, we humbly implore the blessing of Heaven on all our zealous endeavours for the general good of society, pray fcr our steady perseverance in the principles of piety and virtue. The Rev Doctor alluded to the loyalty of Masons, and their duties and peaceful pursuits, the Order being an enemy to war, bloodshed, and confusion.

Masons were to be peaceable subjects, cheerfully conforming to the laws of the country in which they reside; they are not to be concerned in plots or conspiracies against Government, but submit to the decision of legislative power; they are to respect the civil Magistrate, to work diligently, live creditably, and act honourably by all men avoiding private piques and quarrels, and avoiding intemperance and excess. He said it was impossible for any to atteud the proceedings of a lodge, opened in the negree in whic.i it had been opeued on this solemn occasion, except his mind was vitiated and his heart obdurate, without being a wiser ard a better other impressive observations, the Dr. concluded his exhortations by Unto the grave we are about to resign tbe body of our loving friend and brother, there to remain until the general resurrection, in favour able expectation that his immortal soul will then partake of those joys which have been prepared for the righteous from the beginning of the -world and earnestly pray Almighty God, of his infinite goodness, at the grand tribunal of unbiassed justice, to extend his mercy towards him and all of us, and to crown our felicity with everlasting bliss in the expanded realms of a boundless eternity. This we beg, for the honour of His holy name, to whom be glory now and for The Anthem was then sung with admirable effect: Almighty God our heavenly King Before whose sacred name we bend," The different lodges were then marshalled according to their precedence, and the procession, with the body, was formed, headed by the band and a few of the military There were upwards of two hundred Masons, including brethren from the lodges in the provincial towns; and some of their decorations were very handsome one brother, from an Irish lodge, had a dress coat with masonic buttons, and the front covered with jewels and orders they all wore mourning rosettes on their aprons, The procession moved on to the church-yard, the band playing the Dead March. The choristers chaunted a portion of the service as the corpse entered the burial ground, and the whole cavalcade went into the church, where the usual Funeral Service was read by the Rev.

Carwithen, son of the Doctor. The sacred edifice was crowded to excess, and there were thousands assembled who could not obtain a place. I lie procession returning to the place of interment, the regu.ar Church Service was read at the grave; after which the P.G. Secretary advanced to the north side of the grave, broke the wand in two, and threw the fragments with the sacred roll into the the brethren exclaiming, in a subdued tone, Alas my brother. The procession then formed in the same order as it had proceeded to the grave, and returned to the Rooms, where the rites peculiar to the conclusion of this eremonial were solemnly performed, ana the Lodge was then finally closed.

The widow of the deceased attended the funeral as chiet mourner his sons were also with her. We understand a liberal provision will be made for the widow by the fraternity. The High Sheriff of Devon, Sir J. L. Rogers, readily in the request of the brethren for the assistance of the as did Lieut.

While the preliminary part ot the ceremonies was going on, the Pr, Dreceded bv the banners and stewards in due form, Sng-room, and addressed to the High-Sheriff of the county and his party, among whom were several ladies, his thanks in the name of the Brethren, for the compliment he had paid them, and the honour of his attendance, and regretted that Chad not the opportunity of expressing a similar obligation to Vhe Mayor of Exeter, was unavoidably absent from important business, but whose famil) were presen NORTH DEVON REPRESENTATION. EXETER, FRIDAY EVIiMNG. August .3. Last week we reported some of the dolelui proceedings a the George Inn, Exeter, where the Hon.

NewtonFellowe: and a few of the Radicals of North Devon were congregate, for mutual condolence and sympathy. We knew the affair wa of a very miserable character, but we were hardly prepare, for all we have since heard-namely that, in addition what we then faithfully chronicled, a funeral ceremony wa performed over the now defunct Devon County Refori Club which notable monster expired for want of nourish merit! as declared by the sage jury who sat on the inquesi We hear that the Hon. President, in delivering the Oration over the last remains of his hobby, was so ovsrcome, that it was difficult to understand what he said, and that great was the lamentation among the mourners has also been reported to us, but we do not vouch for its correctness, that James Wentworth Buller, was expected to have taken a prominent part in the obsequies. Perhaps the reported secession of Sir James Hamlyn Williams from the Radical ranks to join the true Conservative banners of Mr. Buck, may in part account for Mr.

Buller absence. Altogether the meeting at the George was a most pitiable and melancholy affair. CHURCH DISCIPLINE A very important discussion on the discipline of the Clergy of the Established Church took place in the House of Lords on the 26th in which, as will be seen by our Parliamentary report, the Bishop of Exeter bore a prominent part. A Bill, the object of which was to remove the difficulties that have hitherto stood in the way of bringing to punishment such Clergymen as may disgrace their sacred profession by immoral acts or offences against the.canons and constitutions of the Establishment, was, with the sanction of the Archbishop of Canterbury and a few of the suffragan Bishops, brought before their Lordships at this late period of the Session, and, but for the vigilance and indefatigable exertion of our learned and able Diocesan, would, in all probability, have been hurried through Parliament. We are anxious that every impediment should be removed that stands in the way of Church discipline, and we are among those who hold in the highest esteem the Archbishop of Canterbury, as an ornament, to our Church and to the Christian world but we cannot yield to any Prelate, however distinguished, the claim of infallibility of judgment.

Lookirfg at the provisions of this bill, as explained by the Bishop of Exeter in his luminous speech, we are disposed to think that the Archbishop gave his consent to this measure without that deliberate examination which it required, and without duly considering how the character and functions of the episcopal office would be affected by it; since it seems evident to us, that the remedy proposed would have proved worse than the disease complaiued of. We cannot see how -'the defects said to exist in the present system could have been corrected by taking all cases of complaint against Clergymen in the provinces, to the Arches Court in London: it must have increased the delay, added considerably to the expence, and greatly enlarged the chance of evading justice besides this, it would have taken away that authority and controul from the Bishops, which, in all ages of the Christian Church, has formed part of their high function, and for the exercise of which they are under a responsibility far beyond that which can be affected by human laws. The Bishop of Exetf.R has again brought upon himself much abuse from the Radical and Latitudinanan portion of the Press, because he presumed to oppose the Archbishop but Ist those thoughtless persons, who delight in writing against and speaking evil of read they can bring themselves to do this, tor once, when a talented opponent is in statements made and reasons given by the Bishop for his opposition to this Bill, and then say, in their consiences, whetherthey do not believe the Right Rev. Prelate was not only justified in taking, but bound to take, the course he did." Captious and unnecessary opposition to the Archbishop would have been reprehensible but when the Most Rev. Prelate supported a measure, the provisions of which were contrary to the canons of the Church and opposed to the New Testament, as the Bishop of Exeter showed, and which, if carried with these serious defects would have failed in the object intended, silence in our Diocesan would have been a criminal neglect of his high duties as a Prelate, and an unpardonable sacr fice of his independence as a Legislator, fhe conduct of the Bishop of Exeter on this occasion, the sentiments expressed by him before the Peers, including the Archbishops and his brother Prela'tes, remind us of the noble stand made by the seven immortal Bishops who opp ose( not only an Archbishop and some of their own order, butalso the Monarch, choosing rather to go to the Tower or to Death, than to sacrifice their conscientious was by these never-to-be-forgotten Bishops that our Protestant Church and our civil and religious liberties were saved in the time of James, and it is by such successors, who, like the Bishop of Exeter, inherit the principles and spirit of these illustrious Ecclesiastics, that the Church, while it is purged from error and abuse, will be preserved in its integrity, and our ancient institutions saved from destruction in the present dangerous times.

DANIEL O'CONNELL AGAIN The paid Patriot of Ireland, fearing that his profitable trade of agitation is not likely to benefit by the settlement of the long-disputed Irish has issued another Missive to the people of that country. He denounces the Poor Law as, a law to make the destitute more miserable, and to the number of the Poor," and says it has been effected by Wellington and Peel for the purpose of narrowing the franchise." He complains, with mendaciloquent indignation, of the Peers, on account of their having raised the franchise, by which, he says, they have swindled the Irish out of their rights." The Irish Tithe Bill, he says, will never satisfy Ireland, and again repeats his falsehood, "that it leaves the enormous anomaly of a State Church supported at the expense of the entire people for onetenth of the population," whereas he knows the "entire people" have nothing to do with the expense, since seveneighths of the lands from which tithes are paid are the property of Then the Agitator goes on to say, the bill seeks to perpetuate, in another form, a system of ecclesiastical polity worse than any that ever was imposed by the Mahometan sword on Grecian vassals." Verily Daniel writes a wilful lie with a good grace but the old Serpent is "wise in his generation." as he introduces into his mixture of sedition a tolerable spice of blarney for the Queen, not, however, without libelling her illustrious But his principal cry is for A Domestic LkswiATDm that is, the old story of a Repeal of tho Union, as wilt be seen from the following treasonable am sick. lam heartily sick, of this political juggle and delusion Oh what wretches we were, who did ten thousand deaths to the destruction of our domestic legislature Irishmen! blessed be God, there is a remedy! Whenever you are worthy of being a nation again, you will be so, you shall be so I distinctly tell you that every day convinces me, more and more, that Ireland has 110 prospect of save from a domestic Legislature!" Such is the man with whom the present Ministers entered into an unholy and dark alliance, in order to keep themselves in place is the man to whom the present Government weeks since offered one of the highest offices on the ''Judicial Bench! Further comment is unnecessary. ANOTHER ATTACK UPON THE CORN LAWS. Another insidious attempt is about to be made to effect a partial repeal of the Corn Laws, before the breaking up of the present Session.

Mr. Villiers has given notice of a motion for the introduction, without duty, of Foreign wheat, to be employed in feeding the inmates of the various Union and other Workhouses; and no doubt advantage is intended to be taken of the absence of the landed Members at this late period of the sitting, to endeavour to force a through Parliament. Their pretext of benefiting paupers in thi workhouses, to the exclusion of all other classes of the coor by the free introduction of Foreign wheat, when we Low that the leading principle of 0 tem has been declared, by all the expounders ot the Malthusian law, to be to render the condition of every pauper worse than the condition of the worse paid independent labourer," is worthy only of contempt and we hope tbe Bntith Farmer will not be led away by any such plausible fallacies, to admit the free trade speculators to introduce the wedge which would -commence the destruction of the Corn Laws. The enemies of English Agriculture, who are not wanting in craft and subtlety, will use every means to effect their object; and since their white-and-black" leader declared that England would be a flourishing Country if there were no landholders or farmers left in it is quite obvious that the artful and dishonest tribe would pleaaed if, by any means, they could see the 'tKjdy of Agriculturists reduced to the condition of workhouse paupers, to be fed upon the husks of Foreign wheat. Let this measure be carried, and, without affording the slightest benefit to the workhouse paupers, it will injure the agricullural labourer, with the farmer and landholder, anu pave the way for the total removal of all protection torcorn of English growth.

Let the Farmer take warning fate of the unfortunate and deluded Spitalfields Silk weavers: they were libetally provided with lectures on the lnnnne advantages they would enjoy from the people bel to wear cheap silks, by admitting the foreigner to compete with them: the free-traders effected their purpose with silk, and the result has been that the English weavers and employers are involved 111 utter 1 followed the English workman and an out trades, where the system has been fully carried out.
