The remains of this noblemen were removed from Went-
worth House, near Rotherham, on Monday evening. Al-
though it was the expressed with of the family that the pro-
ceedings should be conducted with as much privacy as
possible, it is calculated there were not lame than 1,000 persons
congregated about the mansion. At balf•pan 9 o'clock the
mortal remains of the deceased earl. which were enclosed in
a plain but massive col lo were brought out of the house,
and placed in an ordinary hearse, drawn by four black
hones. Mr. Massey, theists earl's private secretary, and some
of the principal of of the household, entered a
and the procession then moved sway at a slow pl:" ki;in
Wath station of the South Yorkshire Railway. 'The night
wee extremely dark, and a solemn effect was given to the
mournful cortege by the tolling of the belle in the
churches at Wentworth, Molten, and Wath, as the procession
passed along the secluded road from Wentworth Park. Many
of the villagers came out of their houses with lantern, to
witness the last of the noble earl who wee greatly esteemed
by the poor in the neighbourhood. The hearse and attend-
ants arrived at Wath at eleven o'clock. where a special train
provided by the of of the Great Northern Company was
in readiness to convey the fennel vehicles to Peterborough,
on their way to Merholm, Northamptonshire, the place se-
lected for interment. The train connoted of engine and ten-
der, two break vane, two first-clan coaarrrriraaggecse., three trucks
for the hearse and carriages, and six horse•boxs. The train
arrived at Peterborough at about three o'clock yesterday
morning. The members of the deceased nobleman's family
left Wentworth for Milton House, near Peterborough, on
Monday, to be in median's to pay the last rites to their de-
ceased relative. The interment took place yesterday (Tues-
day) in the family vault at Marholm.
THE LATE OUTRAGE ON THE EASTERN COUR TIRE
RAILWAY.-011 the examination of Profaner Rogers,
who was struck by the nom thrown at the dowanceer=
train near Wymcmelham on Friday wr it was
that the lower jaw-bone had been splintered, and that the
upperjaw had received a severe fracture. Had the stone struck
the temple the injury, in all probability, would have been
fatal. We hear that the injured gentleman is progresdng
towards recovery in a very satiofsetory manner. The chair-
man of the Boatmen Counties Railway has written to the
mayor, expressing bit deep concern at the melancholy accident.
He had himself visited the spot, and made et e moat search-
ing inquiry, and the company had offered a reward of 101. on
conviction, and despatched a special policeman to watch the
spot.—Bury sod A oncida Post.
THE ERUPTION OF MOUNT VESUVIUS.—A letter
from Naples of the 4th says We have just had one of
the finest eruptions of Vesuvius possible to he seen. To-
wards seven at night the crater appeared all on fire, long
names suddenly arose from it, then the lava gushed forth,
on a very broad whew and with great rapidity, in the
direction of the Fosse Della Faraene, and in less than three
hours it had run over all the distance that eeparates the
crater from the Attro dal Cavallo, the place where stand the
Vethvian Observatory and the famous hermitage orl4ch
series as a refuge tor travellers of all countries, for no
' foreigner comes to Naples without making the ascent of
Vesuvius. Thanks to the fine mountain road that the
' government has made, one amends easily in three hours.
All the quays of Naples were thronged with people ad-
miring this beautiful eruption."
The chief magistrate of Vienna has just given no-
, tit that the general census of the population throughout the
whole of the empire will commence on the 31st inset.
EXTRAORDINARY MURDER IN SPAIN.—The
Madrid papers give en account of a horrible affair
run
couple, belonging to somewhat wealthy families of
Mote del Marques, in the province of Valladolid, were
eight days ago, married, and their parents gave a
grand feast, to which, in accordance with the central
of the country, any one was free to go. When the
festivity was at its height, a man, belonging to
the village, stalked into the house, and, after growl/
• insulting the bridegroom, told the bride that obi
t ought not to marry, as she had had intimate relations with
• him. This created great sandal, and ho was tuned out
; of the house. An hoar after, aa the bride, accompanied by
a her mother, her brother, and some female friends, was pro-
• seeding to the house which had been prepared for her and
a her husband, the man suddenly rushed on her from the on-
o ner of a street and stabbed her twice with a poisnord in the
• breast—she fell dead. Her brother rustled on the moue;
t bat ha broke from him, stabbed him twice with the po4nerd
- and took to flight. The wounds were found to be veryyrars.
