DURING a late thunder-storm, the earthen pinnacle raised on
the highest peak of Benledi was struck with lightning, when
both it and the ground at the bottom of it were torn up. No
tourist happened to be there at the time.
ON MONDAY, while a youth was fishing near the Serpen-

water, he was horrified to find that he had pulled up the body
of a man. The deceased was recognised as a respectable man
named Pudge, living at Caroline-place, Chelsea.

A RETtraii,publisksd by the Shipping Gazette, shows that

LORD STANLEY attended a meeting on Wednesday in the
riding school at Hatfield, Herts, and delivered an able address
(the Marquis of Salisbury in the chair) in support of the
establishment of a people's library for the village of Hatfield

RAIL TO INVERNESS. It appears that an attempt is to be
made to bring Inverness within the circle of railway commu-
nication. The railway, it is said, will be called " The Inver-
ness and Aberdeen Junction Railway," and will be supported
by the largest landed proprietors of the north of Scotland.
AT the Bow-street police-court, on Wednesday, Sir John
Paul and Messrs. Strahan and Bates were formally remanded

sold to an Englishman—but not a resident in England—for a
trifle under £2,609. Mdlle. Bonheur has painted a reduced
copy for the engraver, which is now in Mr. Thos. Landseer's

Bell.

AT THE Royal Brewery, Brentferd, last week, a fatal
accident occurred, owing to the fall ,of a wall. Outside the
wall an runs down to the Thames, and of five or six
children who were playing there, 'two were killed. A third
was buried beneath the rubbish, but was sheltered in some
way, And crawled out uninjured.
A Glrir, WITH Two Hairs.—The French papers have
produced a marvel. A girl has been born in France with two
heads—the one being placed .on the spot where heads usually
-aruplaced, and the other at the precise spot where monkeys
and other creatures wear their tails. This latter had been
amputated, and the child is still alive, and suffers as little
Inconvenience as Friar Bacon did from the loss of his head.

THE house No. 21, Gilbert-street, Hanover-square, London,
was the scene of a most disgraceful outrage on Saturday. A
hand grenade was discharged against the windows, and much
damage was done, although no person was injured. A few
nights previously similar outrages were committed at No. 2,
Milton-street, Dorset-square, and a house in Bryanstone-
street, Bryanstonvsquare, suffered in the same way.
EMMA BEST, servant to Mr. Hughes, in l3landford--street,
Portman-square, London, was cooking the dinner on Mon-
day, when her dress wafted against the bars Ofthe grate, and
she was speedily 'enveloped in flame. Mrs. 'Hughes went
down stairs, when the servant rushed into the arms of her
mistress, and instantly set fire to her dress. They were ex-
tricated, and removed to Middlesex Hospital, but remain in
a most precarious position.
PROJECTED TUNNEL RAILWAY BETWEEN FRANCE AND
ENGLAND.—M. Favre, an engineer, has lately published some
observations 'relative to the possibility of making a railway
under the channel from France to England. The length of
the work, he says, would be 30 kilometres (18,i English
miles), and 'pierced at such a length as to always leave 25
metres at least between the arch and the bottom of the sea.
The tunnel he proposes to have lined with a double archway,
one of bricks and the other of iron, this latter, pierced with
narrow openings, to allow at once the slightest infiltration to
be perceived.
THE CHARGE OF POISONING AS •BURDON.—At the ad-
journed,examination of Mr. Wooler, before the magistrates at
Burdon, on Monday, Dr. Richardson, of Newcastle-on-Tyne,
stated that in the portion of the viscera -sent to him for
analysic, he had found the presence.of arsenic clearly indicated.
Dr. Fcthergill stated that he had lent Mr. Wooler his enema,
for'the purpose of administering injections to the deceased,
and -that after the return of the syringe he bad found, by
analysis, the traces of arsenic in or about it. The prisoner
was again remanded. The body of the deceasa lady has been
exhumed, and the remaining viscera removed from it and
forwarded to Professor Taylor for analysis.
A 'YANKEE JOSEPH Any.--irbout twenty years ago, the
congress of the United States passed a law ',by which all
claims against the government of that country, commencing
from the revolutionary struggle of 1776 to the peace, should
be: paid. Many thousands of persons have started up in the
States to conduct the business of claimants. 'One man, how-
ever, signing himself William Mark, 92, Warren-street, New
York city, has been writing letters to 'English citizens, ac-
quainting them that for £ll they can hear of something of
.importance to their advantage, and enclosing a card, stating
that he recovered claims due by the United States govern-
ment to individuals, for the -service of themselves or their
.ancestors in the American war.of. independence. The subject
has been brought before the London magistrates, and the
;American minister at London has transmitted a report of the
-complaints to New York.
ENGLAND'S DECLINE.—Those who talk about England's
:decline, and fix her position as a third or fourth-rate Power,
,because she has lost 30,000 men before Sebastopol, talk
twaddle. The loss of ten such armies would only serve to
-unveil her resources and bring out the indomitable energy of
her people. She is a maritime Power. Her commerce esta-
blishes her rank among nations, and her navy is strong
enough to foster, guard, and watch over that commerce in
~every, quarter of the globe. When the first shows symptoms
of decay, or the latter is powerless to protect, then, and not
till then, will Great Britain lose her prestige, and fall from
the lofty position she has for centuries occupied. Her sue-
.oessor, as mistress of the seas, is even now at her side, moving
along with rapid strides, but that successor is neither France
.nor Russia, nor any of the worn • out nations of the Old
AVorld.—New York Times. _

THE John after pointing out-the unsatisfactory cha-
,racter of the late change in the stamp laws as applied to
:newspapers, calls upon the Conservative party to support the
Conservative press. If (says our able contemporary) as much
~pains had been taken, and as much expense incurred, by the
Conservatives, to indoctrinate the population with sound prin-
ciples through the public press, as the Liberals of all classes
'and shades have bestowed on the promulgation of their per-
tnicious principles through the same channel, the position of
the Conservative party in this country-would besery different
from what it is. There never was a.greater political blunder
than the lofty contempt with which -some of our magnates
affect to look down upon what, in a phraseology which has as
little wit as elegance to recommend it,-they term " the press-
gang," whilst others repose with apathetic indifference on
what they imagine to be their secure position in the upper
strata of society.

Ward, -superintendent of the borough police was savagely
hicked,.and a complaint has been made to the magistrates
that when the rioting was going on the officers of the regi-
ment took no notice of it. Two of the lieutenants were
arrested, on the same night, one (Hebden) for breaking glass
and pulling off bell handles, and the other (Moss) for assault-
ing the police superintendent. The private .charged with
theft has!been committed for trial at the sessions, and it is
thought that the conduct of the officers will be brought under
the noticeof the Home Secretary.
THREE PtROTHERS DROWNED.--Three boys, sons of Mr.
Matheson, farmer, Fishbits, Deeside, Aberdeenshire, aged 11,
13, and 15, were drowned on Sunday, last week, under the
following most distressing circumstances :—They had gone to
the pond of a .saw-mill at Kirktown of Durris. It would ap-
pear—for nobody saw them—the two youngest, having taken
off their clothes, had gone in to bathe, and either venturing
too far, or being otherwise in danger, their elder brother had
jumped in to their assistance, when the whole three were
drowned. The father was at church, and their mother, sup-
posing they might -have gone to gather berries in the wood,
did not become alarmed for some little time, and when the
servant girl went to look for the lads she failed in finding
them. It was about three o'clock in the afternoon, and their
father had returned home, that the distracted mother was
startled by being the first to see her eldest son's hat floating
on the milldam. The clothes of his two brothers were got by
the side of the pond, and the worst fears of those present were
soon realised, when, on the mill-water being drawn off, the
bodies of the three youths, -the eldest with his clothes on and
the younger two undressed, were found in such a position as
left little doubt the sad affair bad occurred in the manner
described.
THE NEW LAW ON BILLS AND NOTES.—From the 24th of
October next, all actions on bills or notes, commenced within
six months after the same shall have become payable, may be
by writ of summons. On affidavit of personal service of the
writ, or (in case of its being shown before a judge that per-
sonal service cannot be effected under the provisions of the
Common Law Procedure Act, by an order of leave to proceed,
in case the defendant shall not have appeared, or obtained
leave to appear, the plaintiff may sign judgment, with interest
up to the date of the signing. Twelve days will be allowed
for the defendant to appear and defend the action ; but, in
order to do so, he must pay the sum demanded into court, to
abide the verdict at the trial, and satisfy a judge that he has a
real legal 'or equitable defence to the claim. For the further
protection of defendants, it is enacted by the third section,
that, after judgment, the court or a judge may, upon special
circumstances, set aside the judgment, stay execution, and
allow the defendant to come in and defend. The holder of a
bill of exchange may issue summonses against all or any of the
parties to the bill ; and the expenses of noting, which are not
now allowed by the judges, will no longer fall upon the holder
of the security. If circumstances should appear upon the
ex parte application of a plaintiff, disclosing any suspicion of
fraud or collusion, the judge may order the bill or note to be
impounded, and all proceedings stayed, till the plaintiff gives
security for costs. The Queen is empowered to extend this
act, by an order in council, to district courts of record; but it
will not apply to the county courts. By these simple provi-
sions the respectable drawers and holders of negotiable securi-
ties will not be affected in the least ; no one can be surprised
on the one hand or delayed on the other; and, where a real
defence does exist, there are the same facilities for urging it
as for proceeding against it. It is the scum of the market,
the hangers-on of the turf—the crowd of scheming •adven-
turers who seem to make such a good living out of being
ruined—who will come under the tender mercies of the new
act, which will certainly hit them hard, and may possibly in-
spire a little wholesome caution in respect to putting their
names on paper. The "-Act for facilitating the remedies
upon bills of exchange and promissory notes" is good in it-
self but, when read with the Limited Liability Bill, which
"stops the way"
in the house at present, it becomes doubly
important. These two measures will go hand-in-hand; the
one encouraging honest enterprise, the otherchecking fictitious
credit; for we suspect that people will be wiser than to lend
their names to doubtful paper, when therknow that in twelve
days after that paper becomes due the sheriff's officer may be
at their door,—Manchester Guardian,

FUNERAL of the late EARL of SEETOIV.

THE death of the late Earl of Sefton has occasioned a feeling
of profound regret among all classes of the community in
Liverpool and its neighbourhood, and indeed all over this dis-
trict of the county, in which the personal worth and kind-
hearted disposition of his lordship were well known and
widely appreciated. Indications of this respect were shown
in different ways. At the meeting of the Town Council on
Wednesday, Mr. Robertson Gladstone, at the conclusion of an
eloquent and feeling address on the subject, moved that the
Council adopt and transmit to the widowed Countess an ad-
dress of condolence on the bereavement which she and the
family have sustained in the death of his lordship, and also
expressive of the grateful feeling entertained by the Council
towards the memory of the deceased Earl for the numerous
indications of good-will he had displayed towards the town,
and the many benefits he had conferred on it. The sentiments
expressed by Mr. Gladstone were echoed and re-echoed by Mr.
Hornhy and by his worship the Mayor ; the latter announcing
his intention of being present on the following day at the ob-
sequies of the noble Earl, in token of the general esteem in
which his lordship had been and still continued to be held.
The Council with one voice acquiesced in the recommendation,
and the address was unanimously adopted.
Prior to his decease, Lord Sefton had strongly expressed a
desire that his funeral should be conducted in as private and
unostentatious a manner as possible, directing that whatever
saving might be effected in the difference between a funeral
conducted with decent, though respectful plainness, and one
more generally considered in accordance with his elevated
rank, should be devoted to the relief of the poor. In so far
as his lordship's family and representatives were concerned,
this desire was implicitly obeyed, but some obstacle to carrying
out the desired privacy was offered in the respectful regards
and grateful affection entertained for him by his numerous
tenantry, and others connected with him in the public and pri-
vate business of life. A desire, very generally expressed by these
parties, to be permitted to take part in the funeral ceremonial
was acceded to ; and on Thursday last, in accordance with
previous arrangements, the tenantry, to the number of up-
wards of eight hundred, assembled at Netherton-green to
await the approach of the funeral procession from Croxteth-
hall, and join in it on its way to Sefton church. In addition
to those who meant to form part of the funeral procession,
there were also assembled there, and at other points along the
line of route, vast crowds of sorrowing spectators. After
lying from Tnesday night in the drawing-room of Croxteth-
hall, the coffin was removed into the hearse on Thursday, the
funeral procession starting from the hall for Sefton church
at eleven o'clock, in the following order :
Four Mutes on Horseback,

Rev. R. Gray, Mr. R. Ledger.

churches. _ _ _ _ _

At Netherton Green the funeral corfte was joined by the
tenants of the Sefton estates, about 800 in number, headed by
the Rev. W. H. Vernon, of Aintree, and the under-stewards,
Messrs. Emery, Warner, and Lathbury, who walked thence
to Sefton, four abreast. The Earl of Derby and the other pall-
bearers arrived at Netherton Green in private carriages ; but
when the funeral train from Croxteth-park reached the Green
they entered the second mourning coach, which immediately
preceded the hearse, and their private carriages, closed, then
joined in the procession. The private carriages joined the
procession after the mourning and other coaches mentioned
above had passed, and then followed a number of coaches
and light gehicles 'of various descriptions, some of them con-
taining tradesmen who bad long enjoyed the patronage of the
deceased,and of members of his family.
Among the clergy and gentlemen who attended in private
carriages were the right Rev. the Bishop of Sodor and Man,
the Mayor of Liverpool, William Brown, Esq., M.P., J. C.
Ewart, rEsq., M:13., Robertson Gladstone, Esq., B. Heywood
Jones, 'Esq., Joseph Pollock, Esq., W. Statham, Esq., Robert
Horsfall, Esq.,D. Neilson, Esq., John Stewart, Esq., Hard-
man Earle, Esq., Joseph Langton, Esq., George Thompson,
Esq., Aigburth ; Richard Bright, Esq., John Myers, Esq.,
J. H. Turner, Esq., W. H. Anthony, Esq., William Preston,
Esq., T. B. Troughton, Esq., Joseph Walker, Esq., Calder-
stones; James‘Gerard, Esq., J. B. Yates, Esq., Ambrose Lace,
Esq.,—Johnson, Esq., Samuel Thompson, Esq., C. E. Ashton,
Esq., Rev. Thomas Gardner, Dr. Woods, Aintree; James
Rigby, Esq., Moss-house; Fredrick Lyon, Esq., Henry Lafone,
Esq., H. R.'Glazebrook, Esq., J. Warrall, Esq., Knotty Ash;
Captain Aspinall; William Barker, Esq., West Derby; J. Ri-
ley,'Esq.,, of Stand;bouse ; Rev. Mr. Vernon, Aintree; R. C.
Lowndes, Esq., Club Moor, tic. The high-sheriff of the
county, John Pemberton Heywood, Esq., who was one of the
deceased nobleman's executors, was not able to be present at
the funeral on account of his official duties at Lancaster assizes.

Mr. John Hastings, of Mount-pleasant, Liverpool, Mr. J.
A.'Cain, of Lord•street, Mr. James Hall, Mr. Groom, Lord-
street, Mr. Michael Lea, Mr. Robert Frodsham, solicitor, and
many other gentlemen from Liverpool, also joined the proces-
sion in vehicles.

The procession reached Sefton Church shortly before one
o'clock. The corpse was here met by the Rev. John Stewart,
rector of West Derby, the officiating clergyman, and was
borne slowly into the church, the mourners following in the
annexed order-:
The Countess of Sefton, Lord Molyneux,
Lady Cecilia Molyneux, Hon. Caryl Molyneux,
Lady C. Townley, Hon. F. Molyneux,
Mr.•Grenfell, Mr. Townley,
Rev. F. Hopwood. Colonel H. Hopwood,
Mr.-C. W. Grenfell, Mr. H. Grenfell,
Lord Craven, Hon. F. K. Craven.
The coffin was placed upon a bier in the nave of the church,
and-the family and near relatives of the deceased earl occupied
spew having black curtains and cushions, and other tokens of
deep mourning, in the south aisle, near the chancel, the pall
bearers taking their seats in a pew adjoining. In the same
part of the church were seated the Mayor of Liverpool, Wm.
Brown, Esq., M.P., Mr. J. C. Ewart, M.P., Mr. Robertson
Gladstone, and other gentlemen. The domestics of Croxteth
Hall sat in the centre aisle and on the north side of the
church. The tenantry occupied most of the other seats in the
body of the church, and the two side galleries were also filled
with ladies and gentlemen. The pulpit and reading desks
were hung with fringed black cloth ; the escutcheons sus-
pended over the family vault were bordered with black velvet
and crape, and in other parts of the building similar indica-
tions of mourning met the eye of the spectator.
" The Dead March in Saul" was performed on the organ
before the burial service was begun in the church. After the
body had been borne to the new vault prepared for its recep-
tion in the north-east chapel, the Countess of Sefton, her two
sons, and the other members of the family grouped themselves
before the entrance to it, and remained there during the read-
int, of the latter portion of the solemn service. The scene
throughout was a deeply affecting one; the countess herself
was bowed down in grief, and some tears might be observed
to fall from manly eyes.
When the service was concluded, the Countess of Sefton,
leaning on the arm of the young earl, with her daughter, the
Hon. Caryl Molyneux, and others of the more immediate
relatives, descended into the vault, and took a parting look at
the coffin, after which they retired from the church and
returned to the carriages. At the close of the ceremony
" Vital spark of heavenly flame" was performed on the organ.
Many persons were subsequently permitted to descend into the
vault, and the pressure at last became so great that it was
found necessary to close the gates leading to it.
The outer coffin, which contained the body, was cased in
crimson velvet, studded with brass nails, disposed in panels,
and furnished with massive brass handles, three on each side,
and one at each end. On the upper part of the lid was a
coronet in relief, handsomely gilt, and below a large brass
plate, bearing the family arms, and the motto, " Vivere sat
vineere," and the inscription—
CHARLES WILLIAM MOLYNEETX,
Third Earl of Sefton,
Born 10th July,
1790.
Died 2nd August,
1855.

While the body lay in the hall, many of the tenantry and
inhabitants of the neighbourhood, who entertained a high
respect for the deceased, were admitted to view the coffin,
among them old men, tenants—one 90, and the other 86
years of age—who had been born on the estate, and who now
came to pay their last respects to the late earl.

THE FORTHCOMING ELECTIONS.—Mr. Lowe, the newly-
appointed Vice-President of the Board of Trade, has issued an
address to the electors of Kidderminster, offering himself for
re-election. An opposition is expected in the person of Mr.
John Best, a relative: of Lord Wynford. The Hon. W. F.
Cowper, the newly-appointed President of the Board of Health,
offers himself for re-election at Hertford. Mr. C. J. Dims-
dale is spoken of as a candidate. The Hon. E. P. Bouverie,
the new President of the Poor-law Board, will in all proba-
bility be re-elected for Kilmarnock without opposition.
BOYLE v. L'UNIVERS.—Mr. Boyle has brought an action
in the French courts against the newspaper L' Univers—in
the first instance, to compel the editor to place in the hands
of a notary public the original letter, the translation of which
was published on the 23rd of May, 1854, and which transla-
tion, subsequently published in this country, constituted the
ground of action brought against Cardinal Wiseman in
England; the second object is to recover 25,000 francs, by
way of damages, for the injury the plaintiff has sustained in
his character by the publication of the said letter. The
French courts decided against Mr. Boyle, who is thereby
saddled with all the costs of the proceedings.
THE CHEAP PREM.—The Northern Examiner, a paper
published in Newcastle-upon-Tyne twice a-week since the abo-
lition of the newspaper stamp, announced to its readers on
Wednesday that its price (2d. a copy) was not paying its pro-
prietors, and that from that date the charge would be 3d. a
copy. The Newcastle Courier, as already stated, another of
the cheap papers publishedin the town, stopped after a feeble
existence of four weeks; and it is no breach of confidence to
state that the circulation of the other two cheap papers left,
the Newcastle Advertiser and the Newcastle Messenger (the
latter established by the proprietors of the old Newcastle
Courant, and published three times a-week,) is unequal to the
cost of their production.

A GREAT AVEDDING IN NEW YORK.—In a few days a
splendid wedding is to come off in this city. The bridegroom,
a Louisiana sugar-planter, named Mitchell, is now en route for
New York, accompanied by 200 pairs of young ladies and gen-
tlemen, who are to take part in the wedding exercises. On
their arrival they are to put up at the St. Nicholas Hotel, the
exclusive use of which has been hired for the occasion for the
sum of 2000 dollars per day, the festivities to continue four
days. The bride is understood to be the daughter of Judge
Concklin, formerly Judge of the Northern District of the State
of New York, but more recently appointed Minister to Mexico.
Two thousand invitations have already been issued,—New
York Okerver.
