This morning the interment of the ro . of
the lato Dean Milman took place in that ne . id
temple with which his name has so long been
associated.
At a qtiarter to 12 the %Mail prdoe tsion, having
been formed at the great west door, whither the
body was cerried from the deanery, commenced jil
eolhiun prothme towards the choir. Winding its
.=the nave, and passing under the dome, it
to the choir, where the oefiln was depo-
sar; tressels tmmodistel in front of
the lectern*. The mournful column was
of mums very leek, comprising as it did
nearly all the elergytif the cathedral; the absence,
of the bishop of the diocese being soccitneed for
by the fact that he is in Pane. During the
passage of the funeral cortege, clergy and
choristers chanted, to the :testae of Dr. Civet;
the funereal eenteneall. " Ism thereearrection and
the life," do., thovoices resounding with raoureful
grandeur through the whole edifice.
Admission to the portion of the cathedral where
the funeral • was performed was secessieflet by
ticket, but only s few ploose seemed to have been
specially reserved, these being near the vault pre-
pared far thereoeption of the bier. A largo Con-
gregation was collected under the dome, a space
being railed off for the purpose of preserving order,
and at the same time allowing adequate room for
the procession.
After the procession had terminated and those
who formed it had taken their seats the Daity2dorn-
ing Service wee said an far as the Psalms. Then
came the Venite—the 39th and 90th Psalms ; tho
lesson I. Cor., ch. xr., v. 20, which was
read by Archdeacon Halo ; and the Bone-
dictus, with the music of Patrick. The
daily prayers were continued at the end of the
Third Collect. The Anthem was from the music
of (loge, the organist of the cathedral, who pre-
sided at the organ during the service, the words
of the anthem being from I. Thessahmians,
ch. iv., v. 14 and 18, " If wo believe that Jesus died
bud rose again, even them also which sleep in
Jesus will Ood bring with Him. Wherefore
comfort one another with those words."

A dirge having been played on the organ,
the clergy, about 20 in number, approached the
grave, which was between the lecterne and the steps

To Thee, tl I,ord, I yield my spirit,
Who break'st in love thin mortal chain ;
My life 1 but from Thee inherit,
And death becomes my chiefeet rein ;
Iu Thee I live, w Thee I din,
Content, for Thou art over nigh.
The remainder of the daily prayers mane then
and to thew suoeuedod Ilandors anthem
Ills boar is buried in peace, but his name licoth

The Bishop of London, who is on hi, return
from Switzerland, preached on Sunday last. in the
English church, Rue d'Agueseeau, Pans, to a large and
attentive congregation.

The Chancellor of the Exchequer was pres Ont at
an agricultural dinner at Wellingborough on Tuesday
afternoon. In responding to the toast of his health, the
right hon. gent'eman raid he had often been asked why
he took such a prominent part in the cattle plague legis-
lation which marked the opening of the session of 1866.
The reason was that as Northamptonshire had started the
movement, urging the question upon the attentiou of the
legislature, which was afterwards endorsed by the general
body of agriculturists throughout the kingdom, a member
for that county was the right man to bring the matter
before the House of Commons. He looked back with
great satisfaction on the course which he took on that oc-
casion. The speech contained no political allusion.
The President of the Poor-law Board has been
speaking on education at Exeter. Like Earl Granville,
Lord Devon expressed his satisfaction that such great im-
portance was now attached to the acquisition of modern
languages, and believed that no long time would elapse
before physical science and other branches of learning,
which had been hitherto neglected, would receive greater
attention in our public grammar schools. Referring to the
labours of the royal commission on education, the noble
earl said he had no doubt that, ea a result of the investi-
gations, the old grammar school, would resume their
places, both in affording instruction to those studying for
the professions, and as channels through which those who
wished might pass to the universities.
A REDUCTION IN TILE ARMY.—It is confidently
reported in military circles at Chatham that the authori-
ties at the War-office, in conjunction with those at the
Horse Guards, have determined on making a considerable
reduction in the tinny at the commencement of the en-
suing year. Among the reductions which it is stated will
be first carried out is the abolition of most of the dep,A
battalions, the great expense of keeping up a number of
deli& battalions, with a largo staff of officers to each, not
being anything like commensurate, in a military point of
view, with the advantages gained from the system. Rumour
also points to a considerable reduction in the number of
troops serving in the North American and Australian pos-
sessions, with the view to the whole of the British troops
being withdrawn from those colonies at no distant date,
in compliance with the growing feeling in this canary of
throwing the burden of the military defence of thee)
rapidly increasing colonies ou the colonists themselves.
Shoqld the proposal to garrison Malta entirely by Royal
Marines, which appears to be looked upon with favour by
the authorities, be carried out, some few regiments will
also be released from military duty is that island, and
their services rendered available elsewhere.—Tiuses.
Tux REPRESENTATION 01 morn-
ing contemporary (the Star) states that Mr. Hughes
has resolved to retire from the representation of Lambeth,
thus leaving Messrs. Lawrence and M'Arthur sae for
that borough, Mr. Hughes intending to offer his services
to a borough whose present member, a distinguished
liberal, has accepted an appointment incompatible with
the retention of a seat in parliament." The borough thus
alluded to is probably Frame, a vacancy in the represen-
tation of which mourn by the nomination of Sir H. Raw-
Basco, M.P., to the Indian Council, Sir P. T. Cautley
having retired from that body.
THE ROYAL PARTY AT DUNROBIN.—Tho Prince
of Wales gave a handsome gold watch as • prize at the
Sutherland Ride Association held last week, which was
gained by Sergeant Robert Rom,lst Company. The Duke
of Sutherland gave a flue silver watch, which was gained
by James W. 8. Guns, Golepie. The Princess of Wales,
accompanied by the Duke and Duchess of Suth e
drove out on Friday last. The. princess held thereritsit
the turn-out, and went four-ion-hand at a rapid pace
through Oulopie, the duke applying the drag when mom-
wary. The royal party, it is expected, will prolong their
stay at Dunroliin for eight or teu days yet.-IVert• British
