Yesterday, the body of the late Mr. Horbee
Ingram, M.P., was interred at Boston, in Lincoln-
shire, in the presence of an immense number of
parses. The mournful occasion was observed by
the whole of the inhabitants of the borough, and
all the public bodies sent their representatives to the
funeral. The mayor and magistrates were present, the
Freammone and Oddllellows, the Rifle and. Artillery volun-
teers, and, in fact, every class o$ the community sent repre-
sentatives to mark their sense of the worth of the deceased
and the public loss sustained by his lamented death.
The Michaelmas Term at Cambridge commenced
on Yesday. The Freshmen are rapidly coming up (says
the local Independent) • the rest of the students will soon
follow ; the voluntary examination has been held this week,
the " postmortem" begins on Monday, and in a short time
the college lectures will follow.
Mr. W. Howitt, writing to a contemporary in de-
fence of spiritualism, says, "Mr. Home has exhibited scores
of times before the Emperor of France, and in presence of
any scientific men that the Emperor has chosen to name.
Mr. Home has done the mine at almost every court
mil capital in Europe, and possesses the most unequi-
vocal testimonials to the reality of his demonstrations
from numerous crowned and lamed heads. If there
be one thing more than another conspicuous in Mr. Home it
is his readiness to meet and oblige a'! respectable inquirer'.
During hie late sojourn in London, he has repeatedly visited
—an one occasion fur a whole fortnight—Lord Lyndhurst,
and has been the medium, at his lordship's house, of moat
▪ phenomena, to the entire satisfaction of that great
lawyer and his family. Now, surely, Lord Lyndhurst is a
highly scientific man, in the science especially essential to
such inquiries, that of shrewdly examining and taking
evidence of facts Mr. Home has displayed similar pheno-
mena in the houses of literary, artistic, parliamentary, and
scientific people in London during the whole last name."
Berapath observes that Mr. Matthew
Uzielli—
whose death took place yesterday at Ostend—was one of
those remarkable men who, from small beginnings, and by
their own energy and vigour of intellect, have raised them-
selves into respect and fortune. His outset in life began in
the French house of Messrs. Charles Dem= and Company,
of Loudon. The deceased gentleman began his career in the
humble capacity of an bumble clerk, at a salary, as we have
heard, of se. to is. a week. His remarkable activity and
ability for finance soon brought him under the notice of hie
principals, and at length raised him to be a partner in the
house, a director of the South Western, the Great Luxem-
bourg, and other railways at home and abroad.
The sporting correspondent of the Illustrated
London News ssys:—" Now that the St. Leger settling is
over, the Doncaster Church window committee and the
ladies' organ committee at St. Albans may be pronounced
to be as good winners in their way an anything. After
winning this great race the Merquis of Ailesbury sent a
100/. cheque to the former. This gave a cue to
the fair diplomatida of St. Albaus, of which they were not
slow in availing themselves. They furtLwith represented to
hislordshipthat he hail paisolagreat slight on theirborough
(whose purity is so historical) by calling his son of Bribery
after its name, and argued with infinite tact that wine
forfeit was moat clearly due from him in consequence. The
reasoning wee not very logical, but it was highly successful,
and received a gallant answer in the shape of another 1001.
cheque. After such an auspicious beginning our Jockey
Club premier may expect to have gentle pressure put upon
him to restore St. Albans to its place among boroughs
whenever the new Reform Bill is achieved. He must
really look out for a political deputation in crinoline some
of these fine mornings."
Cricketing is over for the season, and the Eleven

county matches are--Calfyn, nineteen and two over, and
