THE LATE LORD CHARLES BEAUCLERK.

The obsequies of this lamented nobleman, who
so nobly lost hie life at Scarborough in attempting to save
those of others, took place at the Scarborough Cemetery on
Friday morning, and were attended by his brothers, Lord
Frederick and Lord George Beauclerk. Lord Charles was
of a moat amiable and kind-hearted disposition, and was
much liked by all who had the pleasure of his acquaintance.
He was formerly a captain in the lit Royals, and, at his
decease, a major in the Northumberland Militia. He pa-
ssaged oonsiderable mechanical genies, and several patents
of merit bear his name. It is remarkable that although
nine generations have passed away, Lord Charles
bore a striking resemblance to Vandyke's celebrated
portrait of Charles I. He possessed a most genial
but had the same melancholy east of countenance, features,
sod complexion. The Royal National Lifeboat Institution
have promptly sent a new lifeboat which was tried on Mon-
' day in Scarborough Bay, They have behaved with liberality
to the bereaved families of the fishermen, and have pre-
sented memorial silver medals to the !..e.reaved families of
Lord Charles, Mr. Tindall, and Mr. Mies. it is worthy of
record that Lord Charles was not the first of his family who
thus distinguished himself. Lord Frederick, his elder
brother and heir presumptive to the Duke of St. Albans,
some
.years ago jumped overboard in Kingstown Bar-
bour, on a bitter November night, and at the im-
minent risk of his life, succeeding in saving the
life of a poor woman, for which most cool and gallant act
a silver medal was presented to him. The Queen can
scarcely confer any higher distinction, for without the stimu-
lant of the field of battle it is a record, not merely of the
highest order of courage, but also of humanity. We re-
gret to state that the bodies of Mr. Tindall, Burton, and
Kies have not yet been found.

THE FRENCH STEAMERS.-112 reference to what
we have said in our two last numbers of the Emperor
Napoleon's design to rival as in oar commercial steam nevi-
gatson, we hear that he has eight steamers of 3,200 tons
each building or to be built on this side of the Channel for
the West ludia service, the individual cost of which is to
be 1134,W. H., with 12,0C3/. additional for furnishing. The
steamers for the East are said to be of 4,C30 tons each, and
to cost ISO,OL.W. There is also to be a line of larger ships
than those for the West Indies to go to North Ameriec.
We wonder whether the 40,000,00 W, deficit of his Imperial
Majesty will act as any bar to his steam navigation enter-
prises.—Heranoth.
ANOTHER CRINOLINE ACCIDENT. —Bet ween 5 and
6 o'clock lest evening the inhabitants of Park etreet
and Dartmouth-street, Westminster, were alarmed by
loud screams, and on rushing to their doors were horror-
struck at beholding a young woman enveloped in &Mee.
A crowd immediately collected, and emend persons
tore off the burping fragments of her dresa, and after
some time, by means of coats and rugs, the flumes were
extiugushed. though not until her clothes hail been burnt
off to the bodice. She was conveyed iu a cab to the
Westminster Hospital, when it was ascertained she was so
dreadfuily burnt all over the body. especially in the lower
eztremities, that but alight hopes are entertained of her
recovery. The unfortunate sufferer was a domestic servant
of Dr. Allen, readiug at 5.1, Dartmouth-street, and had
been preparing dinner, when her crinoline caught fire,
and in her terror she immediately noshed into the street.
A YOUNG LADY BURNED TO DEATH. —Miss Mar.
poet E. Collis, the eldest daughter of Stephen E. Collis,
Esq., a magistrate of the county of Kerry, has met her
death under the following melancholy circumstances :—lt
appears that this young lady, who wait staying at Mount
Trenchant, the residence of Lord Munteagle. retired to rest
at the usual hour. When she got to her room she placed
the candle ou the toilet table, which was in the recess
of the window, and stretched out her hand amens the table
to close the window curtain. Her sleeve caught fire front
the candle ; she eudeavoured to raise the carpet, that she
might extinguish the flames by rolling herself in it. hut
finding it uailed down she rushed out of the room, calling
for help. Mr. Spring Rice, who was in an adjoining rooms
came to her a.ssistarice and found her a 1111434.1 of flame.
With the aid of some of the other members of the family.
after considerable exertions, be succeeded in putting out
the fire, but not until the injuries she received were so seri-
ous as to cause her death. She lingered in great agony fur
some days, when death put an end to her sufferings.
SELF-CAUGHT ROGUES. —Ou Thuivlay a gang of
convicts were employed at the Royal Clarence
yard, Gosport, carrying wale to the engine•houss, when one
of them divided a piece of cake be had beconie mysteriously
pommeled of, and which was quickly swallowed with infinite
gusto by the trio. These pleasurable sensations were, haw-
ever, soon succeeded by others of an opposite character, cod
the cake-eaters were seized with violent vomit lug soul other
alarming symptoms, which eventually led to a confession, to
the effect that the piece of cake had been purloined from the
pocket of Mr. Bushnell, the engineer. That gentleman, on
learning the cireumstanee, found, indeed, that a piece of
sake which he had placed in his coat.pocket was gone, but
declared that it had been made in a peculiar emptier to ,le-
'troy rats, and that one of its chief ingredients was arsenic.
The repenters,* of the trio was now as complete and sincere
as their sufferings, but their critical state necessitated their
immediate removal to the infirmary of the convict prison et
Portsmouth, where the usual unpleasant remedies requi-
site in such eases were administered to and received by the
penitents with the greatest patience. Yesterday they were
still suffering somewhat severely, but were pronounced oat
lof danger.
