CRYSTAL PALACE.—There will be a display of
fireworks, with its attendant illumination of fountains,
this evening, commencing at half-past 8, for which a spe-
cial device and a novelty in the form of a fountain of fire
have been prepared. The (loose with the Golden Eggs will
be performed at half-past 4, and other amusements will
till up the day's programme.
UNSEEMLY CONDUCT OF A CURATE AND SEX-
TON.—A disgraceful scene was witnessed in the burial-
ground of Caverawall, Staffordshire, on Saturday evening
last. In this village a board war formed two or three
years ago for the purpose of providing an additional
burial-ground, the churchyard being filled. The sexton
appointed by
N.
board met with the approval of the vicar,
the Rev. B. N. Arnold, but he has since quarrelled with
the selection and has chosen another sexton. Mame
there have been two sextons for some time, each acting
independently of and in opposition to the other. Two
funerals—one that of an old woman, and the other of a
young child—were fixed for last Saturday evening, and
two pits, or graves, had been dug by the rival sextons.
When the corpses arrived at the church the curate was
awaiting them, and preceded them into the burial-
ground, where he made his way to the graves
dug by the vicar's sexton. The friends of the
child were not averse to its interment there,
but the friends of the old woman preferred the grave of
the burial board sexton, and while the service was being
read over the child they stood in the path dividing the
rival graves. The curate, when he had finished the ser-
vice over the child, informed the friends of the old woman
that the vicar had ordered him not to read the service
over any corpse interred in a grave dug by the burial
board sexton. He then walked away, leaving them and
the coffin in the path. They next carried the body to the
grave prepared for it by the sexton to the burial board, and
having no ropes with which to lower it, they applied to
the vicar's sexton for the use of his ropes. This was re-
fused, and the other gravedigner ran into the village and
borrowed ropes. The corpse was then lowered into the
grave without any service being read over it, the earth
was filled in, and the funeral ceremony was over. As
they were leaving the ground the vicar's sexton de-
manded from the friends of the deceased the burial fees,
although they bad paid the other sexton for the digging
of the grave, and nothing had been done by either the
vicar, his curate, or sexton. The utmost excitement pre-
vailed in the village, and only the presence of a number
of police appeared to prevent the indignant parishioners
from a more than verbal expression of their feelings.
INDIGNATION MEICIINO OF RAILWAY TRAVEL-
LRRIL—Au indignation meeting has been held at Peuge,
under the chairmanship of Mr. Tom Hood, to take
stirs towards shaping the grievances of railway pas-
sengers under the recent increase of fares in LOndon into
practical action. Resolutions were passed pledging the
meeting to use the southern railways as little as possible,
to travel third-class only, to encourage and assist 7ifi the
establishment of omnibuses, the formation of a local-com-
mittee, to act in concert with the local committees now
forming, and then to have a series of aggregate meetings.
A copy of the proceedings was ordered to be sent to each
of the southern railway companies. The meeting was
numerously attended by some of the most influential in-
habitants, as also by the working classes, and the meet-
ing pledged itself not to support any candidate for the
new parliament unless he was prepared to deal with the
question of tho railways, and to support an independent
line from London to Brighton. One gentleman offered
1,000/. as a start in the taking up of shares. The meet-
ing was characterised by much earnestness.
NORTH STAFFORDSHIRE RAILWAY.—The half-
yearly meeting of this company was held yesterday, at
the Railway Hotel, Stoke, Lieutenant-Colonel Pearson
presiding. The report was taken as read. The Chairman
said there had been great depression of trade in the
district, and the inter eta of the company had conse-
quently been materially affected, but there was a niers
hopeful prospect in the immediate future. The arrange-
ment with the London and North Western Railway
Company had worked most satisfactorily, and the
running of trains over the line from Liverpool and
Manchester to London bad proved mutaally accom-
modating and beneficial. The passenger trade
had increased to the extent of ~ and is
mineral traffic the increase had been 2,2001. for a dimi-
nished tonnage._ Mr. Hughes asked if there was any ad-
vance towards the amalgamation of the company wie the
London and North Western Comitany. The claims*
said that the London and North Western Company had
offered no terms that the North Staffordshire directors
could accept. Disapprobation of amalgamation was ex-
reseed by several proprietors, who urged that the
company would not lre in a fair position fat
any such arrangement until the district shoel4
be developed. The report was adopted, and a dividend
of 21 per cent. declared. Lord Al Pagek_Mesus. L
B. Moore, F. W. Tomlinson, and W.Hcownllisld, ware rte•
elected directors. After some discussion, it was derided to
reduce the number of directors, as vacancies shall arise,
from 16 to 12, and the directors were authorised to issue
debenture stock at 44 per cent., the proviso being added
that such issue should not be under par. The directors
were thanked. .

Tus VA.LITE OF LAND IN WHNTMINSTIR.—At
the Guildhall, Westminster, yesterday, in a compensation
case in which the claim was 24,8001.—" The -Emanuel
Hospital r. the Metropolitan District Railway"—some
evidence was given on both sides on the value of land in
Westminster. Whilst on one aide the estimate was 42,0001.,
on the other side it was about 83051., with the 10 per
cent. for compulsory sale. The land was in Victorm-
street, and the charity was the gift of Lady Deere, in the
reign of Elizabeth, for the support of aged men and
women, and for educational purposes as to the youth of
both sexes. Mr. Lloyd and Mr. l'hrupp were for the city
of London, as governors of the charity. Mr. Haw-
kins, Q.C., and Mr. Btretten were for the railway oom-
pany. After an investigation of two days before Mr.
Toogood, the deputy high bailiff, and a special jury, the
sum of 10,47d1. was messed as the value of the land
required by the company.

PRUSSIA AND ITALY.
BERLIN, Ammer 11, Evamia.
The Official Gazette of this evening says:—" In
viewing our statement of the 31st ult. respecting
Count Usedom's note to General Della Marmora
in the light of satisfaction formally tendered to
the latter, the Italian journal L'Opinione has
drawn an erroneous conclusion easily recognised
as intentional. Nothing was further from the
thoughts of the editor of the Official Gazette than
that he should approve or palliate the
course pursued by General Della Marmora,
whose conduct meets in all circles in
Prussia, both official and private, with the same
judgment as from public opinion in Italy. The
only object of the statement published by the
Gazette was to free the government from responsi-
bility for the text of Count von Usedom's despatch,
because it contained a few expressions which
correspond neither in form nor subetanoe
with the views of the Prussian government.
The plan of camp campaign contained in Count von
Usedom's despatch had been the subject of discus-
sion between Prussian and Italian military men
from the time when the outbreak of hostilities had
appeared probable, and therefore at the time of
the delivery of the despatch this plan could not
have been new to any of the parties concerned."
