For the most part, however, the slaughterers of the sea gull are actuated by the desire of gain, and are stimulated by the demand of the plumassier for the beautiful white plumes of the gull. When we are told that one house in London has given an order for ten thousand birds in one season, we need not wonder that Mr. NEWTON is in fear of the seagull being driven from our coasts alto gether, if not entirely exterminated. The worst of the matter is, that each bird so destroyed repre sents the destruction of many more, for the men, anxious to secure them, spread their nets on the rock an I catch them while rearing their young, who are thus left to die of starvation. It is at the breeding seaion that they come especially to our shores, and thus the direct mischief done by shooting or snaring them is as nothing to that indirectly effected by depriving the young birds of their parents. The fickle goddess F,,shion is to blame for this wholesale slaughter, since the now prevalent custom of wearing bird-plumes in ladies' hats has given risen to the present extraordinary demand. A lady, Miss BECKER, of Manchester, herself a contributor to the essays read at Norwich, entered her protest on behalf of the lady plume wearers on the ground of ignorance, and thus illustrated her favourite doctrine of the deficiencies of feminine education. No lady, she said, would willingly wear the feather of a bird that was de stroyed in the act of feeding its young, and we hope that, now the facts of the case are made known, fashion will seek its adornments elsewhere, and leave the poor sea fowl in peace. These birds are not without their utility. They guide the fishermen to shoals of fish ; they consume the fish offal, thus preserving the health of our shores, and, best of all, in dan gerous rocky coasts their incessant cry is an invalu able warning to the mariner. Off Anglesey, where there is a colony of these birds, the firing of the signal gun has been abandoned by order of the Tri nity House, for fear it should disturb the birds, who are surer and more audible guides in the frequent thick and hazy weather. At the Isle of Man laws have been passel for their preservation, and a penalty is inflicted on those who destroy them. Mr. NEWTON showed by many illustrations that we often made serious mistakes and defeated our own objects by exterminating whole orders of creatures, which each had their specified place in nature, and served to preserve the balance of things by keeping others in check. At the last meeting of the associa tion a similar discussion was opened by Mr. TRIS TRAM, who declared that " birds of prey were the sanitary police of nature," and man is never wiser than nature without discovering too late that his wisdom is something very like folly.

The theory that gold is to be found in abundance all over the world is borne out in some measure by the mime. rous discoveries which have recently been made. Gold has been found in the Celestial Empire, and the rumours of, large deposits in the mysterious region of Thibet have gained greater strength and consistency of late years. In Auckland, New Zealand, the goldfields are reported to be very productive. The Southern CroB3 says that week after week comes fresh news of fresh " leaders " being struck and splendid results obtained. In some cases the yield is marvellous, over 1,000 ounces from two tons being the result of the last crushing of picked stone at one claim. " That the Thames goldfields will take their stand diggings in the world is, we think, noinc beyond e richestuestio question." . reefing For some time past great fires have been of extraordinary frequency in Russia. It has been thought that the Poles were the cause of these conflagrations, seeking by this mode the retalisation which would otherwise be impossible. Public opinion in St. Petersburg now points to a society of criminals, whether Poles or otherwise is not stated, formed for the purpose of spreading terror by fire and pillage. A circular, purporting to be a manifests from the cc mmittee at the head of this society. has been distributed in great numbers. It states that very many prisoners who have been illegally condemned and ruined by their condemnation, still remain in Russian prisons. The many who have suf fered from the same cause and have been released have resolved to revenge every innocent prisoner by the de struction of some dwelling. The members of the society are permitted to pillage to recompense themselves for the losses they have suffered, and to pay the expenses of the society. These facts have caused great general terror in Russia. The document does not appear to us at this dis tance very genuine, but the fact of the fires is incon- testable. - _ There appears in the Times a letter from General Codrington, complaining of the injustice of " the Reviewer" of Mr. Kinglake's " Invasion of the Crimea." The "Reviewer" having spoken of an " unsoldierly and slovenly flank march," and of the " army wandering for miles in broken straggling columns close to the enemy," the General says : " Those who were present, and those of your readers who value the credit of the army, may be allowed to feel somewhat indignant at the use of these expressions, and require some better proof to justify the publication of them." He adds : " History will record that 27,000 English and 25,000 French troops were landed in hostility on an enemy's coast to attack his stronghold ; that this ar ny had a hostile force a'm st in its presence, in the neighbourhood of which it disembarked, bivouacked, and marched with every warlike precaution, from the 14th to the 25th of September. This hostile march was, indeed, magnificent to those who looked upon its columns of infantry and artillery as they covered the face of the country in advancing masses, open enough for ease of march and dep'oyment, yet close enough for defence, and with every preparation for fight:ng. This army victoriously stormed the intrenchcd position on the Alma by an attack o 7 which the English bore the brunt. It again advanced, crossing the plains and rivers between it and t':ebastopol, biv.aracking with every precaution a(:taii,st an enemy. Ar iving on the north side of Sebas topol, it was ordered on a bold and difficult—p laaps haza:- 'ou ;--- fl Lilt march, in ord , r to seize the pert of Pala .'avo, and occupy the plateau south of the fortress." The General inquires whether this army deso.rves the depre ciatory expressions of the " Reviewer." He v:ndicat :a Lord Raglan ; and considers the "expressions to be as unjust towards the rest of . the army as they are proved and acknowledged to be towat ds one portion of it—the Light Division—which formed the advance of the army on the Tchernaya." Old soldiers like the criticisms of civilians no better than Hotspur liked the remarks of " The Fop." They have every right to complain when these criticisms are unjust, and almost a right to be angry. The outside public can hardly settle the matter, and must in a great measure judge of the «eight of military opinions by the standing of the men who give them. A painting of great merit has just been received at the Vatican, says L' Univers, to commemorate the centenary of S. Peter, executed by the coma mand of the Holy Father, and from his own idea, by M. Seitz, a German, residing in Rome. S. Peter is seated in cathedra, in that Chair of his which is preserved in the Basilica ; with his right hand he raises the keys to touch a heavenly orb supported by an angel—a symbolic treatment of Giotto's. Two angels approach the Chair—one holding tha reversed Cross, and the other the chains, two emblems to which the attacks on the holy See have of late given special interest.

The holy Father is recom mending the Church to S. Peter. On the left is a group of three kneeling figures—Faith, in the person of S. Helen holding the Cross ; Charity, in the person of S.

The Times confesses that it is no longer possible to enter: tain the slightest hope that the letter purporting to be sent by Mr. Stuart Wortley from Lowestoft was authentic. We have naturally clung to the delusion as long as we could. It is unpleasant - to acknowledge that we have been hoaxed, and yet we are bound to confess that the letter is a forgery. It is equally unpleasant to relinquish the belief in a pleasing dream, and there was something so simple, so direct, and, moreover, so exalted about the Lowestoft letter that it is with the utmost reluctance we recognise it as a hoax. But there is no escape from the conclusion. It is possible we ought not to have believed for a moment the letter from Lowestoft tc be genuine. It is true it bore all-external marks of authen• ticity, and was so well concocted that it was as like truth as it could be. But we now see there was internal evi dence which ought to have disturbed our credulity. The date from the Royal Hotel, Lowestoft, should have shaken our faith. We believe •many persons go to Lowestoft at this season of the year, and that it has, in fact, become a favourite watering-place for the inhabi tants of the Eastern Counties ; but the ex-governor of the Credit Foncier of England could not be conceived to be among them. Not even the thought that Lowestoft is in some s at the creation of the kindred genius of Sir Morton Pcto could draw Mr. Stuart Wortley there. In one of the most " screaming " farces ever written, the arrival of a real Quaker of this classic name is anti cipated by a counterfeit friend, who gets an introduc tion into a most respectable Quaker family, and secures the daughter of the house by pretending to be the ex pected visitor. But it has been remarked that the pseudo Friend is with great art made to overdo his part. His Quakerism is too pronounced, his " thees" and " thous" too frequent. His unction is excessive. The Quakers ought to have detected the too pious imposter. We cannot help applying the parable to ourselves. Reading, then, again by the light of experience the letter from Lowestoft, we feel that this is not the real Simon Pure. There is one gleam of sunshine in this matter of the Credit Foncier. The letter of Mr. R. Stuart Lane is not yet withdrawn. Mr. Lane does not offer to repay £lB,OOO as soon as the necessary pecuniary arrangements can be perfected; but he states the sum he received as director's commission --£4,126 15s. 9d. ; and he declares that he holds it ready to repay all or any part should it appear that the calculations of profits made by the Credit Foncier, and therefore of commission received by the directors, were based on unfair valuations of the assets of the company. We believe this offer amounts to little more than a submission to what a court of equity would enforce ; but there is an immense difference between a spontaneous readiness to make resti tution and necessary obedience to a decree of the Court of Chancery. Mr. Lane's offer proves it was not, after all,. absolutely impossible, though excessively unlikely, that Mr. Stuart Wortley should have written us such a letter as the one by which we were deceived. The Daily News says Astrea, has not re-descended to earth, nor so much as thought of doing so ; and the return of the golden age is indefinitely postponed. The news published by the Times on Monday was too good to be true, and our contemporary has since been informed by Mr. Stuart Wortley that the letter purporting to bear Ms name is a forgery. The public has learned this intelligence, we suspect, with more regret than surprise. The announcement on Monday did not, we believe, greatly affect the market value of Credit Fouler shares. The whole aspect of the latter was irregular. Mr. Stuart Wortley has done nothing so unhandsome as " peaching " upon his colleagues. The shareholders are but where they were—no better and no worse than before the publication of this letter ; and the same may be said of Mr. Albert Grant. The Standard sympathises deeply with those of its con temporaries who, fired by a sublime enthusiasm in the cause of virtue, hal rushed into the eulogy of Mr. Wortley and his grand example. Their disappointment can scarcely be less poignant than that of the writer of the leading article which was supposed to have wrought this great miracle. We began to form a higher ideal of the City director. We had long been perplexed by doubts as to what kind of man it was who returns conscience money to the Chancellor of the Exchequer. Here at last, we said, was the type of that noble creature. It is lamentable to think that we have been deceived, and that the elaborate eulogies which have been uttered of Mr. Wortley's conduct have all to be unwritten. Perhaps the best joke— supposing that it were possible to indulge in any vein of levity on so rad an occasion is, that another director of the Credit Foncier, Mr. Stuart Lane, moved by the powerful homilies of the Times, or fired by Mr. Wortley's generous example, has actually offered to make restitution of his share of the directors' remunera tion. We 1 re3ume that sufficient care has been taken to guard us aganst a second forgery, and that Mr. Stuart Lane's offer to m: k .) restitution is no hcax. The Post thinks that Mr. Childers, who addressed his constituents on Monday last, has certainly given us the best electioneering Fp e cli which has yet come from any of the candidates who are now before the country, and one which deserves and will repay the most careful study as a complete and exhaustive review of the principal subjects now agitating the public mind. Taking us back only three years, be recalls the state of popular opinion upon such of these stil i:cts as Lad then attracted the greatest attention, and remarks that the comparison of the views then held with those now entertained is encuh to make us " feel as if we had made a leap from somewhere about the middle ages." Though Le claims the Reform Bill for the Liberal party, he pays a tribute to the sincerity of the Government in the support it has given to the complementary measure for the prevention of corrupt practices at elections, as to which he frankly admits that it is " doubtful whether without the aid of the Government it would have been carried." He declares there are still important amendments required in the Reform Bill, and that the "right principle which in the end must be applied will be simply this, that besides lodger classes and all other exceptional classes who should be admitted to the suffrage, every occupant of a rated house ought to be an elector," and that without being pestered by any such checks and counter poises as now disfigure the franchise. The Post believes that before the end of the next Parliament the Act will be so remodelled as to keep that pro mise to the hope which it now only keeps to the ear. Upon the Irish Church Mr. Childers has made a most admirable and exhaustive essay, in which he has condensed and compared all that is really pertinent to be said about it, and has worked his way all through by incontrovertible steps to the demonstration that the only thing to be done with it is to abolish together all its public, attributes and advantages, having regard only to existing interests. Mr. Childers goes at length into the financial history of the last few years, and draws most startling conclusions from them. To these we shall recur ; but we may say that they are as instructive and as well worked out as the rest of his speech, the whole of which is to be recommended as a study to the politicians who are now making such a stir throughout the country. The Herald wishes to know since when the cardinal doctrine of America and the French Retolution has been accepted. Lord Elcho must have noticed the new shibbo leth which Mr. Gladstone and his immediate friends are striving to get their followers to adopt; for, in Hadding tonshire the other day, he thus expressed himself : "I cannot, under our existing Protestant Constitution, admit the principle of religious equality as between Protestants and Roman Catholics." Whereupon, to our infinite amaze ment we confess, a Radical journal thus falls foul of him : " Lord Elcho merits admiration for the boldness of a declaration which hardly any avowed Tory would dare to make in words of equal plainness." We beg to assure our contemporary that no Tory would dream of declaring any else. We should also like to see the man in the flesh who would have the courage to declare the opposite. Will our Radical contemporary ? Will it admit the principle of religious equality between Protestants and Roman Catholics ? If it will, it is of course prepared to act upon the principle. Then how about the succession to the throne ? May a Roman Catholic wear the crown of England? Assuredly he may, and must—supposing him to become one—if the principle of religious equality is to be acknowledged. Perhaps our contemporary would say that it should not have the slightest objection to a Roman Catholic sovereign. We shall be infinitely obliged to it if it will say so, for then there will no longer be any doubt upon the point. It thinks so ;or else in attacking Lord Elcho it has written egregious nonsense. We have not been quoting from the Times, but the Times, either in a covert or a careless fashion, is pretty nearly as inaccurate and wide of the mark. " The Roman Catholics," it says, " are part of ourselves, with equal rights in the same Constitution, " under the same sovereign and the same laws." We utterly deny it, and are surprised to meet with such reckless assertions. As we have already pointed out, our Roman Catholic fellow-subjects have not tl.e i-ame rights in the same Con stitution. It forbids them to occupy the Throne, to say nothing of other posts. Neither are the Roman Catholics under the same sovereign as ourselves ; since Pro testants are wholly under Queen Victoria, and they are partly under Queen Victoria and partly under Pius IX. Religious equality is confounded with " religious liberty." We must, therefore, beg that " gious equality "be no more heard of. " Religious liberty" is intelligible, and already exists wherever England has dominion. " Ecclesiastical equality " is also perfectly in telligible ; but it does not exist according to the Englisb Constitution, and, to raise no other difficulty, it never can until the throne of England may be filled by a sovereign without any regard to his or her theological faith. rinlE LATE EDITION of " TIIE SUN" at JAMES SPEEDY'S, "The Wellington," Wellin,g4xa-street, Strami.

SU S LONDON, IVEDNESDAY, AUGUST 26, 1868. It must be a relief to the friends and relatives of the victims of the recent railway catastrophe that their remains have been consigned to the grave, for it 'was only painful to defer the ceremony any longer amid the harrowing cir cumstances of the case. The sad event of yester day was attended with the most impressive demon strations, and everywhere people vied with each other to show respect to the memory of the dead, and regard for the feelings of the living. The unostentatious signs of sympathy that were made were the most fitting for the occasion, and must have been most in accordance with the feel ings of the mourners. Many came by early trains to witness the sad ceremony, and by ten o'clock the mournful party assembled. The coffins were removed from the church and conveyed to the grave prepared for them. The behaviour of the Welsh peasantry was much to their credit, and they seemed so impressed with the sadness of the scene before them that they forbore to disturb the sad group before them by any interruptions on their part. The beautiful service for the burial of the dead has never been read on a more solemn occasion, and one that more fully revealed the shortness:and uncertainty of life, and the nothingness of rank and grandeur in the momentous close of existence. A long line of mourners followed the re verend gentleman who performed the ceremony, the Reverend JA3IES ...llFuzEDirit, the Recor, Ishose sympathy for the mourners has elicited so much gratitude, and the Rev. J. TAILOII, who is a mourner himself by the sad event. Thirty-two coffins were placed in one grave, and covered with black cloth, with no inscripions. The vast grave was surrounded by mourners, and the concluding portions of the service were read with deep emotion by the Rector, and the responses given amil over powering grief. A more painful scene could never have taken place in any churchyard, and no more' agonising circumstances could have surrounded the departure of friends and relatives from the stirring scenes of every-day life. It was intimated to the mourners after the sad ceremony was over that the railway company would pur chase the ground in which the burials took The intelligence which the City of Baltimore brinas us from the United States is not altogether satisfactory. The disorganised condition of the Southern States, more especially of the Carolinas, is becoming painfully visible, and there aro some grounds for apprehending that the differences exist ing between rival parties and races will not be con fined to words. At Raleigh, North Carolina, a Democratic State Convention has been held, at tended by a large number of negro Democrats, who were threatened wit h,violence by the Radical negroes. Order was, however, preserved by the military. In South Carolina the aspect of affairs is still more threatening. The negroes in the interior of the State are incensed at the action of Governor SCOTT in vetoing certain Radical members of the Legisla ture. They are reported to be arming and threatening the Democratic whites and negroes. A collision between the rival parties of negroes is very much to be deprecated, as it would probably lead to further complications. If the dominant party in Congress bad not so obstinately perpetuated the disorganisation of the South we should have less reason to apprehend an out break. They have disheartened the well disposed among the educated classes, who might have exerted themselves to restore order and to reconcile the people to the restoration of the old form of Government. They have flattered and excited the blacks, who needed to be:sobered down after the great change which they bad undergone ; and, worse than all, the policy of the Radicals ren dered the Southern States the area for the action of designing agitators who make politics a trade, and with whom the public interest is always subservient to their own personal aggrandisement or temporary advantage. The Southern States have lost one of their most resolute and bitterest foes, and the new session of Congress will meet without one of the best•known figures in the capital. The funeral of Tu ADDEUS STEVENS has been celebrated in Washington, though his remains are to be in terred in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, with which State his name is most associated. We can hardly hope that BUTLER will have learned moderation, but he has not the weight with his party which STEVENS had, and therefore there are grounds for the belief or expectation that henceforward a more conciliatory policy may be adopted towards the ex-Confederate States, and that their " reconstruction" may be no longer so completely a matter of form. Among the many living things likely to bo bene fited by the extension of knowledge, we hope henceforward to be able to reckon the seagull. Science often demands its victims, and the prose cutors of scientific inquiry have not always been as numerous as they have been intelligent and obser vant ; nevertheless, we find that the sense of humanity on the whole has marvellously dev4oped LATEST INTELL EGENCE.

The Moniteur contains a report of Marshal Vail lant's speech at Dijon on Monday in opening the Councils-General. After pointing out the abundant harvest just gathered in, he said :—" This abundance is the more to be appreciated because it occurs amidst the most reassuring circumstances. The Emperor said very recently that peace must not be disturbed, and that everything promised well for its duration. In deed, gentlemen, abundance in peace, but in a peace that has not been preserved at the cost of patriot ism—you have there in two words the position of our country." Several journals have announced that the bishops of Linz and of Brunn had placed themselves in open opposition to the new Constitutional laws of Austria, by refusing to remit to the civil autho rities the documents concerning marriages. The Government was also said to have summoned those prelates to obey within a fortnight. We find in the General Correspondence, of Vienna, some details respecting this affair :—" A few days back," says the Austrian journal, " the tribunal of this city notified to the Episcopal Consistory that a commission would shortly be issued to take possession of the documents in the custody of the Council having charge of matrimonial causes. The members of the Commission did in fact repair to Vac place, but the directors of the Consistorial Chancery refused to give up the records, on which the tribunal referred the matter to a superior Court. The ulterior mea sures to be taken against the Bishop of Trieste and his brethren of Linz and Braun have lately been the object of declarations on the part of the Minis try of Justice, and the question has been solved. The decision is that the deposit in the tribunals of the documents in question will not be insisted on ; inasmuch as, according to the law, only such docu ments as the Courts may require in each particular case can be demanded." If this statement can be relied on, the prelates in question cannot have been summoned to yield within a fortnight.

Thomas, yester day, by Lady Buller, in the Governor's-green, at Portsmouth. The regiment was drawn up in line on the Green at half-past 11, when a brilliant and numerous company were assembled to witness the ceremony. Lady Buller, accompanied by Major- General Sir G. Buller, K.C.8., commanding the South-Western district, and his Staff, arrived on the ground at 12 o'clock, when the old colours were trooped to the rear of the regiment, the band play ing " Auld lang syne ;" after which the regiment formed three sides of a square, and the band taking up their position in front, the drums of the regi ment were piled and the new coloursplaced on them. Lady Buller, with the General and his Staff, ad vanced to the front, Colonel Thomas and two of the majors of the regiment took their stations in the rear, while the Venerable Archdeacon Wright and the Rev. Mr. Orr, chaplain to the forces, occupied positions on the right and left. The band then played and sung a suitable hymn, after which the Archdeacon proceeded to the ceremony of conse crating the colours. This being concluded Lady Buller, in a most suitable speech, in which she enumerated the good deeds of the regiment, pre sented the new colours in the name of her Majesty. Lieut.-Col. Thomas, ou behalf of himself, officers, and men, thanked Lady Buller for the kindness she had shown in presenting the colours, and the good wishes she had expressed, and trusted the regiment would always merit the good opinion expressed by her. The officers subsequently gave a djettner in Anglesca Barracks. The men of the regiment were not forgotten. They partook of an excellent dinner, while the children were regaled with a tea.

The remains of the 32 bodies were interred this morning at 10 o'clock with impressive solemnity, and amid such unostentatious demonstrations of sorrow and sympathy as the townspeople could manifest. Every shop was closed. The silence of death reigned in Abergele ant Pensarn. There was not even the tolling of a funeral bell to break the stillness. By the early trains from Chester and Ithyll a large number of the relatives and friends of the dead, many from distant places, came into Abergele. All were in deep mourning. Precisely at 10 o'clock the mourners took their places in the churchyard near the door of the Vestry-room, under the tower of the old church, the coffins having been piled there. On such an occasion it was im posible to ascertain the names of all who were pre sent ; but of the relatives of the late Lord and Lady Farnham there were the present Lord Farn ham, the Hon. Richard S. Maxwell, the Hon. Wil liam Maxwell, and Mrs. Hotham, wife of Captain Hotham, and niece of the late Lady Farnham. Of the relatives of the late Captain Edwards, there were his surviving children, Mr. Lea Priestly Edwards and Mr. Alfred Delaponte Edwards; Sir Henry Edwards, M.P., his brother; Major Waterhouse, M.P., his brother-in-law; two sons of Sir Henry's, his son-in-law, Captain Dear den, and Mr. Norris. Of the relatives of the late Judge Berwick, Miss Berwick, Mrs. Symes, and Miss Ingram, Mr. Edward Berwick, and Mr. John Berwick. Of the relatives of the late Misses Lea, the Rev. S. Simcox Lea. Of the relatives and friends of the late Mr. and Mrs. Aylmer and Miss Franks there were Mr. Franks, Mr. J. Franks, Mr. T. Greene, Mr. Charles Eade, Sir J. J. Coghill. Of the relatives and friends of the late Mr. Whitmore Scovell and Miss Scovell there were Mr. Dance and Mr. R. D. Kane. Of the relatives and friends of the late Mr. William T. Lund, William B. Parkinson, and Christopher Par kinson there were Mr. Thomas Lund and Mr. Robert Parkinson. Of the relatives of the late Mr. W. 11. Owen there were Mr. J. William Owen and Alfred Owen; Thomas Outen, brother of the late Edward Outen ; T. J. Smith, brother-in-law of the late Mary Ann Kellet ; Sarah Brested, sister of the late Elizabeth Strafford; Maria Cripps, Lucretia Buchanan, and Henry Cripps, the wife, mother, and brother of the late Charles Cripps; and Mr. Davis, butler of the late Lord Farnham, also at tended the funeral. When the relatives and friends had assembled in the churchyard the Rev. James Meredith, the rec' tor, and the Rev. James Taylor, of Bamberbridgel near Preston, himself a mourner, came out of the church to meet them. When the rev. gentlemen had reached the vestry room, the door was opened , and Mr. Taylor commenced the first sentences of the Burial Service. He continued the service while returning into the church, and the mourners, two and two, walked after him and Mr. Meredith. Both reverend gentlemen having reached the reading' desk, and the mourners and a large number of the parishioners of Abergele having taken their places in the pews, Mr. Taylor read the psalms and the beautiful lesson from the 15th chapter of St. Paul's First Epistle to the Corinthians. While he was se doing the coffins were being conveyed on men'S shoulders from the vestry-room to the grave, which had been dug close to the wall at the opposite extremity of the churchyard to that in which the vestry-room is situate. When the clergyman had reached the close of the lesson, and it was all' nounced that all the coffins had been removed, the procession was reformed. It was, as ou the entry into the church, headed by the two reverend gee' tlemen. Next followed Lord Farnham, supporting on his arm Mrs. Hotham. Outside the c hurch' yard, all round, was a large crowd. People stood or sat on the walls, and men and boys were groupe d in the trees which from outside overhung th e grave. The conduct of these Welsh peasants wa g , exemplary. Not a word escaped them, and all e' them gazed on the scene within the graveyard Wit il a respect nothing short of reverence. Nothing coul d well have exceeded the severe solemnity of the pre" ceedings. When the mourners reached the lieg e , grave they found there, side by side, at a depth o'o some seven or eight feet, 32 coffins. There We r t the remains of 33 persons there for interment ; h e in one case so little had been left of a human bel l —only what had been gathered into a very sm all paper parcel—that the remains were put with thos e of another person. All the coffins were covered w ith black cloth, but there were no inscriptions. On the foot of each coffin was a bit of white paper bearing number. The mourners ranged themselves on three sides of the vast grave. The Rev. J. Mere dith read the conclusion of the Burial Service. Ev erl passage was uttered in faltering accents, and the responses were given amid heartrending lanlee te ; tions. Probably no more painful scene was o re witnessed in any churchyard. After the burial a meeting of the mourners held. Mr. Cawkwell, general manager of the Lod don and North-Western Railway Company, W ha t present. A communication was made to them t the railway company would purchase, as a priva te grave, the ground in which the interment had beef effected, and would rail it in. A committee, ee e ; sisting of Lord Farnham, Sir IL Edwardes, gala Waterhouse, and others, was appointed to 1 30 "" ti arrangements for the erection of a tablet with suitable inscription.
