The obsequies of M. Fould took place to-day in
the midst of an immense concourse of people, the
municipal guards keeping the way. The funeral
car, richly ornamented, was drawn by six horses,
followed by a large number of carriages containing
the high functionaries in full costume. Several
bankers and money-changers were present at the
interment. At the head of the funeral procession
were three regiments of the line ; and after the
mourning carriages came a squadron of the Paris
Guards, which closed the eortige.
The Gottreitutionne/ mentions a cmious case of

interment thirty years after death, which recently
took place at Berlin. The famous beauty, Rachel
Levin, wife of the late Baron de Warnhegan, well
known as an historian and Prussian diplomatist,
fearful of being buried alive, gave instructions in

her will that the lid of her coffin should have a
window in it, and that it should be constantly
watched for a month after her death ; at the ex-
piration of that period it was to be removed to
Ivestibule, erecially constructed for the purpose,
and there remain for thirty years, all of which
injunctions were carried out to the letter.
IThe Journo/ de Merfaix reports that a young
I woman 23 years of age, a farm servant, named Phi-
lomene Janbtre, living at Bohaste, in the commune
of Plauganven, being attacked with cholera on
Monday, died the same night, and was buried at
5 o'clock in the following afternoon. At the mo-
ment when the body was being lowered into the
grave the sexton distinctly heard a noise proceed-
ing from the interior of the coffin, and immediately
went for a surgeon, who, after an examination of
ithe woman, found her to be dead, but was of opi-
nion that the vital spark had fled within an hour
preceding his arrival.
What speculation there is on the Bourse is con-
centrated upon the Rente and the Italian Fives.
Some transactions took place in these about half-
past 1 o'clock, but the market shortly afterwards
became extremely dull, at lower rates. Rente
closed at 68fr. 25c.; Credit Mobilier again declined
2fr.; while Mexican shares went up from 41r. to

Yesterday the ceremony took place of laying the
first stone in the Lady Chapel or Riley Cbantry, of St.
Edward's Church, now in course of erection in the Alma-
road, Windsor, to perpetuate some memorial of a gentle-
man well known in the neighbourhood, the late Mr. Riley,
of Forest-hill, to whom the catholica of the vicinity are
deeply indebted. Dr. Grant, Bishop of Southwark, oftl-

On Sunday, a fire broke out in Muggiemoss
Paper-works, situated about four miles from Aberdeen,
and the property of Mews. Charles Davidson and Sons,
and before it could be extinguished buildings and mate-
rials so the value of between 10,000/. and 1'2,0001. were
destroyed.
A caw of assault came before the Liverpool
magistrates yesterday in which two material witnesses re-
fused to be sworn, on the ground that they were each
enceinte, and that it was unlucky and wrong to take an
oath while in that condition. Tne magistrates on this
dismissed the summons, rebuking the women for their
gross ignorance and superstition.

GAME CERTIFICATES FORFEITED BY TRESPASS..—
The following peculiar oases were beard at the Mahon
police-court on Saturday :—Two young men, Mark Nichol-
son, butcher, and John Craven, farmer, who had taken out
game certificates, were charged with trespassing in pursuit
of game on lands of Earl Fitzwilliam, forming part of the
'manor of Mahon, the shooting over which is now held
by " the Mahon Shooting Club." Mr. Dale, solicitor,
York, prosecuted and Mr. Bargery, Supervisor of Excise,
appeared for the Crown. Nicholson admitted being there,
but asserted that the shooting on the Mahon manor had,
from time immemorial, been free to Lord Fitzwdliam's
tenants • that his father and grandfather had shot over it
for nea.iy a century, and people yet living in Melton had
done so for the last 50 years, and had never been fined or
molested. He held the manor to be free to him. The
other defendant denied being there, and a spectator
in court, named Cue, cam, forward to prove that
he was working for the defendant's father on the day in
question, and that defendant never lett the field till
night, and was, therefore, not within two miles of
the place sworn to by the keeper. The bench disbelieved
both statements, and fined Nicholson 40s. and costs 95.,
and Craven, 405., and costs lls. Mr. nargery then de-
manded the surrender of the certificates, which became
forfeited to the crown by the convictions. Nicholson
intimated his intention of not letting the matter rest on
th4magistrates' decision.
PRACTICAL JOKING.—A very serious case of
practical joking was brought under the notice of the ma-
glstratee the Brixham (South Devon) petty sessions on
George Hooper, an apprentice to a local smack
owner, was charged with having thrown a quantity of
naphtha over a fellow apprentice, named John Brusey, and
then setting fire to it. The lads were employed on board
the fishing smack Commodore. According to complain-
ant's statement, which was not denied, Brusey was asleep
on deck early in the morning of the 'pith of • September,
when naphtha was thrown on him and ignited. He Ind-
denly awoke, and then discovered that his head was on
fire. His sufferings had since been very severe. lie bad
been under the care of Dr. Brooking, whose testimony was
Ito the effect that the lad would suffer from the contrac-
tion of the muscles of the neck as the result of the in-
juries. The defence was that the affair was " simply a
lark," and that it was done as a set-off against an attempt
of the complainant on Hooper'i head the day before. The
defendant was committed for trial at the next amazes.

BAD NEWS FROM THE DUNDEE WHALERS.—
Yesterday "event letters were received in Dundee an-
nouncing the bad fortune of the whole fleet of vessels
belonging to this port, and. prosecuting the whale fishing
at Davis Straits this season. The &dykes, which are dated
11th September, state that with the exception of two of
the vessels—the Campendown and Esquiniaux—which
have a fish each, the whole fleet are clean. The vessels
must in a short time leave the ice, and it is not expected
that they can be well fished. The fleet consists of ten
steam ships, and when the fishery is unsuccessful the loss
to the owners is very great.
LONDON TO CHERBOURG.—A line of steam
vessels that has been now for some time established be-
tween Poole, on the south coast of England, and Cherbourg,
on the north coast of France, have, by a fresh arrange-
ment on the part of the company to whom they belong,
now made Southsea, Portsmouth, as their last point of
departure from the English coast for the great French
port, and the first port of call on their return to the
English coast Cherbourg is thus brought within 11
hours' passenger communication with London, and at an
extraordinary low rate of fares. The voyage to and from
the coasts of the two kingdoms by this route is at the
present season made weekly, and although the boats as
yet have made only three passages each way, a fair
number of passengers have been carried, and oonaiderable
freights of sheep, pigs, poultry, eggs, butter, Ice., brought
over from the Normandy dairy farms.
THE C.F.SARIAN OPERATION.—A woman, about
35, named Schmitt, in the last stage of pregnancy , was
run over by a coal cart on the Boulevard de In Vitiate, a
few days ago, and received such injuries in the head that
she expired shortly after at an apothecary's shop, whither
she had been conveyed. Drs Tixier and Sallath then de-
termined to save, if possible, the unborn child, and by
means of the Crearian operation delivered a fine healthy
boy, who appeared in no way to feel the effects of the ac-
cident which had been fatal to the mother.—Quebee
Chronicle.
