THE AFFEgiAN WAR.

Mr. HADFIELIT moved that the return relstiog
to the Hut Indian (Cabal and Affglumiatan.) +az
be printed. He made a similar motion last KIIIIOII, but the
government opposed It on the ground of swum. He had

more than 1201. The paws contained an explenation of the
Afghanistan tragedy, the Igreatest stein that had
ever fallen upon British arms. The war was now admitted

DIE REMOVAL OF 81R 71101148 NOTON'S
REMAINS.-ITHIB DAY.)

This morning the Bayswater road was lined with
vehicles of every description, with a ooncourse of pedestrians
that has not occurred for many rens in that locality. The
came of this gathering was the removal of the romans of the
late Lieutenaot-General Sir Thomas Notes, who died at
Waterloo, from the burial-ground of St. George's Chapel, to
St. Peel's Cathedral.

The deceased commanded the second division, and glo-
riously fell at the head of the same, about hall-pest two
o'clock in the afternoon, when the battle was at ice height.
The Doke of Wellington, on hearing of his fall, exclaimed,
"Is it poesible P Bowmen, exertion is neceessey,for we have lost
oar right arm" The gallant general had served throughout
the whole Panhandle campaign, and was considered second
only to the great duke for military tactics and indomitable
courage. The removal of the remains was conducted by
Messrs. Bunting and Company, of Pall-mall. The cofda
was taken from the vaults yesterday evening, and placed
in the chapel. Before 10 o'clock a large body of the
A divis'on of police, under Superintendent Teddy, were at
the chapel. Shealy sltorwarda a gun carriage, with an
calker mad escort of artillery, arrived from Woolwich. The
merles was placed upon the gen carriage, covered with the
armorial bee:hags of the departed hero. A long line
of carriages followed, in some of which were
most of the distinguished officers dna in the service, end
many the companions in arms of the departed general. The
carriage of the Commander-in-chief his Royal klighneu the

. - -
Duke of Cambridge, headed the procession, which woe oon-
ducted ia the best possible manner. It took the route of
Osford and Regent-streets, Pall-mall,Charing-crors, Snead,
Fleet•atreet, Ludgate-hill, to the Cathedral. The re-inter-
ment immediately followed upon the arrival of the body.
Some time was taken up in removing the ponderous mass
from the gun-carriage, and bearing it up the steps
on the south side iuto the Cathedral. It wee
there met by the Very Reverend the Deem
Mimeo, Archdeacon Hale, the Rev. W. Murray, and
several other prebendaries and minor canons, who preceded
the body to the crypt, where a vault had been ormstraoted
not far from the tomb of Wellington, the illustrious chief
and the noble hero. At this moment the organ began to
play the Deal March in Saul," and the scene
was of a truly silent and impressive character.
Followed by the old comrades of the illustrious general, the
body was conveyed in t►e most solemn silence to the tomb,
where it was received and lowered into the grave with the
utmost care, in the presence of Colonel Vereker, J. Picton,
Esq., sad a large number of private mourners. This
having been done, and each of the visitors having
taken a last look at the romaine, the body wee
covered up, and the cavalcade reformed.

The Odessa Messenger states that it is proposed to
establish • telegraphic line between Ismail and Odessa, thus
conveying news from Western Europe to Constantinople
without pamingby Vienna.

the neighbourhood of Prince's End, South Staffordshire.
It appears that on Thursday evening last, as • man
mimed Thomas Ferris', by trade a puddler, was walking

he perceived something doating on the surface, which he
discovered to be the bodf a female. He summoned to his
aid police-constable Williams,l who at once procured a boat-
hook, and landed the body. Decened appeared to he
about twenty-two or twenty-three years of age, and
her dregs indicated that she was • boateroman, or one
belonging to the lower order. She had on a wonted
jacket, lilac dress and apron watered moreen skirt, and
strong lace-cep bats. She bore marts of violence upon
all ports of her germs, both eyes were blackened, her nose
was broken and flattened, and there was a wound on the
right side of the heed about an inch in length, whith would
be produced by a blow from a blunt instrument. She was
also dreadfully bruised and battered shout the chest sad
bosom, ae if from kicks. Her dress was torn and disordered
in such • manner as to leave so doubt that she had strlti
hard in the hand. of her abusers. An invest was opewa on
the body on Saturday night before Mr. Hinchchff, and ad-
journed for • fortnight. Sin forgemen are in custody on
suspicion of being concerned in the de:need's death. It sr

bracing connecting the ribs together; the longitudinal and

way over Uwe portions, are also f.r advanced; the resin
arch, sad fifth arch, an commenced ; and in some cues the
wron6t snd riveted rib., fm wing the frowns of the arches,
have hem lowered into their places. If the castings of the
western portions are ready, there w.ll be no difficulty in
opening the southern division of the bridge at the end of the
present year. The bill to empower the government to ob-
tain possession of those houses which have to be removed
for the approaches, was reed a emceed time en the 13th
April, but was not further proceeded with. Denbtlem,
