It would seem, according to Mr. NEWTON'S account, that these bird murderers have not con tented themselves with depopulating the land, but have been busy also at sea. For the most part, however, the slaughterers of the sea gullare 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 and catch them while rearing their young, who are thus left to die of starvation. It is at the breeding season 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 Fashion 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 passed 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 bad 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.

Intelligence from Vienna states that the pre parations are openly made, and are all but directly aided by the Roumanian authorities. A conflict between the Turks and the Roumans is considered inevitable. The theory that gold is to be found in abundance all over the world is borne out in some measure by the nume rous discoveries which have recently been made. Gold Empire, and the rumours of bas l large d f e o p u o n s d i tsi in the they Celestiale region of Thibet have us i n gained greater strength and consistency o f l a t e y e a r s. In mysterious s t e Auckland, New Zealand, the goldfields are reported to be very productive. The Southern Cross 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 as one of the richest reefing diggings in the world is, we think, beyond question."

The disorganised condition of the Southern States, more especially of the Carolinas, is becoming painfully visible, and there are 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 witbviolence 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 Scorr 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 had nGt 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 unlergone ; 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 'THADDEUS 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.

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 Leen 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 painting of great merit has just been received at the Vatican, says L' Univers, to commemorate the centenary of S. Peter, executed by the com• mand of the Holy Father, and from his own idea, by M. Seitz, a German, residing in Rome. S. Peter is seated in cathedni, 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 the reversed Cross, and the other the chains, two emblems to which the attacks on the Holy See have of late given special interest. Two other angels support the Chair, at the foot of which, on the right, we see Pius IX. kneeling, having behind him the Angel of History - , who registers the eighteenth centenary. 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. Agnes with her lamb ; and Hope, as the daughter of Noah, with the dove and the raven (:') In the distance a rock rises out of the sea on which the Church is built, represented by the Vatican Basilica, in to which a long procession of bishops is entering ; they issue from a vessel steered by angels, and having the image of the Immaculate Virgin on its pennon. At the half distance an angel, seated on the shore, holds in one hand the anchor of the boat and in the other a flaming sword. At the right extremity on the lower plain, three armed angels are turning back the flood thrown out by the dragon, two of whose heads are already wounded. The painting has all the good qualities of the German school, without its dryness. A long line of mourners followed the re verend gentleman who performed the ceremony, the Reverend JAMES MEREDITH, the Rector, whose sympathy for the mourners has elicited so much gratitude, and the Rev. J. TAYLOR, who is a mourner himself by the sad event. Thirty-two coffins were placed in one grave, and covered with black cloth, with no inserip;ions. 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 amid over pwering grief. A more painful scene could never have taken place in any churchyard, and no more agonising circumstances could have surrounded the diparture of friends and relatives from the stirring scenes of every-day life. It was intimated to tho mourners after the sad ceremony w - ,s over that the railway company would pur chase the ground in which the burials took Among the many living things likely to be 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 ,7ant ; nevertheless, we find that the sense of humanity on the whole has marvellously developed 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. ernw°isw points to a society of e is not stated, formed e P r li m bl i i n c a olps,inwhether S r t. e P le e s te o r r sb et u h rg for the purpose of spreading terror by fire and pillage. A circular, purporting to be a manifesto from the committee distributed in great um many prisoners who have natthherehs.ead It of states society,tshissthat very has b een 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, lettew from General Codrington, coinplainirg of the injustice of " the Reviewer" of Mr. Kinglake's "Invasion ( f 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 jus' ify 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 fly 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 deployment, yet close enough for defence, and with every preparation for fighting. This army victoriously stormed the intrenched position on the Alma by an attack of which the English bore the brunt. It again advanced, crossing the plains and rivers between it and Sebastopol, bivouacking with every precaution against an enemy. Arriving on the north side of Sebas topol, it was ordered on a bold and difficult —perhaps hazarCouf—flAnk march, in order to seize the port of Pala :lava and occupy the plateau south of the fortress." The General inquires whether this army deserves the depre ciatory expressions of the "Reviewer." He vindicates Lord Raglan ; and considers the "expressions to be as unjust towards the rest of the army as they are proved and acknowledged to be towards 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 xight 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 v eight of military opiniono IDY the amain et the men wile givc blew, SPIRIT OF►'THE PUBLIC JOURNALS; The Tintei confases 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 nc 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 a•nong them. Not even the thought that Lowestoft is in some s nt the creation of the kindred genius of Sir Morton Peto 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 -24,126 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 spontaneoui 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 his 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 Foncier shares. The whole aspect of the latter was irregular. Mr. Stuart Wortley has done nothing so unhandsome as " pea,ching " 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, had 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 sad an occasion is, that another director of the Credit Foncier, 11Ir. 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 presume that sufficient care has been taken to guard us against a second forgery, and that Mr. Stuart Lane's offer to mak; restitution is no hoax. The Post thinks that Mr. Childers, who addressed his constituents on Monday last, has certainly given us the best electioneering speech 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, he recalls the state of popular opinion upon such of these subjects as had then attracted the greatest attention, and remarks that the comparison of the views then held with those now entertained is enough to make us " feel as if we had made a leap from somewhere about the middle ages." Though he 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 Revolution 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 thing else. We should also like to see the man in the flesh who would hive 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 the same 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 " reli 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 English 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, 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 the 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 Brunn 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. BOURSE, August2s.—Three o'clock.—The market closed as follows : 41 per Cent.

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, on 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 expre: sed, and trusted the regiment would always merit the good opinion expressed by her. The officers subsequently gave a d'jeuner in Anglesea Barracks. The men of the regiment were not forgotten. Theypartook 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 and Pensarn. There was not even the tolling of a funeral bell to break the stillness. By the early trains from Chester and Rhyll 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 ha 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. Ilotham, 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, acd 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 relative's and friends had assembled in the churchyard the Rev. James Meredith, the rec tor, and the Rev. James Taylor, of Bamberbridge, 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 so 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 au' nounced that all the coffins had been removed, the procession was reformed. It was, as on the entry into the church, headed by the two reverend gen tlemen. Next followed Lord Farnham, supporting on his arm Mrs. Hotham. Outside the church yard, all round, was a large crowd. People stool or sat on the walls, and men and boys were grouped in the trees which from outside overhung the grave. The conduct of these Welsh peasants was exemplary. Not a word escaped them, and all of them gazed on the scene within the graveyard with a respect nothing short of reverence. Nothing could well have exceeded the severe solemnity of the pro ceedings. When the mourners reached the hug ° grave they found there, side by side, at a depth of some seven or eight feet, 32 coffins. There wer e the remains of 33 persons there for interment ; but in one case so little had been left of a human body —only what had been gathered into a very small paper parcel—that the remains were put with thoso of another person. All the coffins were covered Wit h black cloth, bin there were no inscriptions. On the foot of each coffin was a bit of white paper bearing a number. The mourners ranged themselves on tilve ° sides of the vast grave. The Rev. J. Meredith read the conclusion of the Burial Service. Eve r y passage was uttered in faltering accents, and th e responses were given amid heartrending lamenta tions. Probably no more painful scene was ev er witnessed in any churchyard. After the burial a meeting of the mourners NV° held. Mr. Cawkwell, general manager of the Leh don and North-Western Railway Company, W present. A communication was made to them that the railway company would purchase, as a privat e grave, the ground in which the interment bad been effected, and would rail it in. A committee, con sisting of Lord Farnham, Sir H. Edwardes, Bier: Waterhouse, and others, was appointed to arrangements for the erection of a tablet with 4 suitable inscription. In the diplomatic circles of St. Petersburg it i $ stated that Prince Gortchakoff has elaborated a plan for convoking a European congress whose rale; sion will be a general disarmament. It is A ddeo that the draft of this scheme has been communi cated to the Governments of the Great Powers. The Official Journal of Warsaw publishes a oh a ; racteristic announcement, indicating the limite d amount of liberty left to the Poles. It says " His Excellency Count Berg, the Emperor's Veil tenant, has been pleased to permit the inhabitant° of Warsaw to go on Sundays and fete days to al . country by railway as far as Skierniewice (11 21 P eria Park and Palace) without passports, on condition, however, of having with them some proof of id es' City." - EUROPEAN EMIGRANTS. —During last rae lltil nearly 30,000 emigrants landed at New York from Europe. About 23,000 of them landed WI steamers ; about 20,000 were from German en 0 French ports, and upwards of 26,000 of were steerage passengers. They arrived in ne 3r a forty ships. There were thirteen births on boar g, the ships during the Atlantic passage.
