FUNERAL OF BARON ALDERSON.—The remains of this
learned judge were removed to Bury St. Edmund's, Suf
folk (his birth place), at 6.45 a.m., on Tuesday morning:
Great numbers of people were assembled in St. Mary
Magdalen's Church at five o'clock to witness at that early
hour the singular but impressive ceremony performed at
the church of which he laid the first stone. The body
was met at the door by the Revs. E. Stuart, incumbent of
St. Mary's; W. U. Richards, incumbent of All:Saint's,
Margaret-street; and .T. Murray, incumbent of St.
Andrew's, Wells-street. The coffin was placed on the floor
of the nave, and three candles were burning on each side
of it. The pall was of blue velvet, with a yellow fringe
and a cross worked on it of red velvet. The 39th Psalm
was sung to a Georgian chant, and the lesson (1 Cor. xv.)
read by Mr. Murray. After the well-known hymn, " Ali
hail the Great Emanuel's name," had been given, the Holy
Sacrament was administered to the sons and daughters of
the deceased baron, his nephew, Mr. Drew; his son-in'
law, Mr. W. C. Cocks, and other
,mourners ; and to Mr.
Justice Coleridge, Mr. J. D. Coleridge, Mr. A. D. Cole_
ridge, the Rev. W. H. Milman, and one or two other
friends of the family.

STRANGER'S FRIEND SOCIETY.—The friends of this
excellent institution are nearly exhausted, and as it is more
than probable the present severe weather may continue, we
trust the appeal of the committee in another column will be
responded to.
CHAMBER OF COMMERCE.—At the adjourned annual
general meeting on Tuesday, the following gentlemen were
declared to be elected directors, viz. :—Messrs. F. Boult,
SF. A. Clint, C. J. Ccrbally, J. T. Danson, M. Hyslop, J.

IIoFFMA.N'S, QUEEN'S HALL. Yesterday, the boys
belonging to the Blue Coat hospital, headed by Mr.
Wood, were treated (free) to this delightful entertainment
by the enlightened and spirited proprietor, and although the
boys enjoyed themselves in the heartiest manner, there
never was a class of scholars who conducted themselves with
greater propriety, which proved their excellent training.
The girls will be admitted free on Saturday.

LIYRRPOOL ARCHITECTURAL SCCIETY. —This body met
last night at the Royal Institute, Colquitt street, Mr.
Huggins in the chair, and Mr. Weightman secretary. The
following gentlemen were admitted as members: Messrs
George Watson, J. T. Denson, Walter Turbitt, and John
Brydon. A discussion took place on the agitated question
of water, in which Mr. Picton, Mr. Verelst, Mr. Horner,
and other gentlemen took part. There was, however,
nothing new, from the arguments already advanced pro and
con on the point, and the subject dropped without any
decision being come to in refetence to it. The paper far
the evening was on chimney construction ; and, in the
absence of Mr. Rawlit son, it was read by Mr. Picton;
after which the meeting adjourned.
IMMENSE CABLE.—The strongest cable ever manufac-
tured for a merchant vessel is now lying at one of the
railway stations in this town. The metiers of the cable are
Messrs. Hingley and Sons, of Cradlev and Netherton. It
is intended for mooring the United S ates' mail steamship
Adriatic in the Sloyne, when she arrives, and is considered
capable of holding her, large as she is, in the heaviest gale.
The length of the cable is 40 yards, and its weight per link
50 lb. In the process of proving, one of the weakest links
gave way, at 97 tons' pressure, with a force that shook the
building. A new link was substituted, and the cable with-
stood a strain of 105 tons. Messrs. Hingley and Sons are
making the cables for the Great Eastern, each link of which
will weigh 70 lb.
LECTUIIRE ON THE CATACOMBS OF ROME.—The next
of the weekly series of lectures in Hope Hall, is to he de-
livered tonight by the Rev. R. H. Lundie, A.M., of Bir-
kenhead. The sabject of the lecture is one of extreme
interest, viz., " The Catacombs of Rome." Those cata-
combs, it is well known, are stAterrateous caverns, which
were occup'ed by the Primitive Christians as hiding places
—from the persecuting rage of the Roman imperial despots.
They still contain many interesting memorials of the history
of their former faithful and pious inmates. Mr. Lundie
has personally visited them, and witnessed for himself their
lasting monuments of the piety, zeal, sefferiegs, and
patience, of the noble army of Christian heroes who
encamped in them. The lecture is to be illustrated by a
variety of diagrams. John Farnworth, Esq., is to take the
chair.

Tins Limn STREET SWINDLER.—Parry, the fellow who
kept the swindling advertisement place in Lime street, who
was brooght up some days ago, at the Police Court, on a
charge of having swindled a large number of persons of
various classes, by obtaining money from them by falsely
representing that he would procure them situations, a full
report of which appeared in our paper, was again brought
up yesterday before Mr. Mansfield for final examination.
There are about 27 charges against him, but the police only
proceeded in three, in which he clearly promised to put the
parties into situations if be got his " fee." The " fees"
were accordingly paid, but, of course, it was only a swindle.
Mr. Goodere, for the prisoner, contended that the prisoner
was the dupe of some fellow named Cosgrove, to whom the
prisoner paid £3O to enter into partnership. Mr. Mans.
field hoped the public would take warning, and be cautious
of such persons in future. He committed him for trial at
the sessions.
