STAMP DUTIES.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER obtliined leave
to introduce a bill to repeal the stamp duties payable on ma-
triculation at the University of Oxford.
Colonel DUNNE appealed to the right hon. gentleman to
extend the provisions of the act to the University of 'Dublin.
Mr. NAPIER urged the same appeal, and supported it by
quotations from the report of the commission. •
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER thought it de-
sirable that this class of duties should, as far as possible, be
revised. He could not give any distinct pledge that the Uni-
versity of Dublin should have the benefit of this exemption,
but he would promise that the subject would receive full con-
sideration.
The house adjourned at one o'clock.

A RUSSIAN FUNERAL.—On Monday week the fune-
ral of a Russian gentleman, who died a few days pre-
viously at the Fleece Hotel, took place in this town.
The name of the deceased was Nicholas Karakin, aged
23, and he was the son of Paul Karakin, a wealthy mer-
chant of_' St. Petersburg. He came to England from
Germany to finish his studies, and make himself master
of the language. When'the war broke out he obtained
permission to continue in this country, and during the
past few months he has been engaged on a mission of
benevolence in visiting such of his countrymen as have
been brought to England as prisoners of war. He came
to Cheltenham a short time ago,_ being at that time in
delicate health, and put up at the Fleece, where he con-
tinued up to his death, which took place on Wednesday
week. The deceased being a member of the Greek
Church, it became necessary that a clergyman of that
Church should conduct his obsequies, and a Russian
clergyman, the Rev. Ugen Popoff, attended from Lon-
don. The body of the deceased was deposited, with
much ceremony, in an oaken coffin, dressed and orna-
mented as is usual among the Greek Christians—a cross
and an image of the Virgin Mary was placed upon the
breast. It was conveyed to the Protestant cemetery,
„where, after reading of the burial service of the Church
of England by the officiating curate, the Russian cere-
mony of interment was gone through by the Russian
clergyman. The deceased was followed to the grave by
several of his countrymen, who visited him during his
illness.—Gloucestershire roniele.
EXTRAORDINARY MOUNTAIN ASCENTS.—One day last
week two spirited ladies from the neighbourhood of
Windermere, accompanied by a gentleman from Kes-
wick, commenced a tour from the latter place at 2 o'clock
a.m., and, under a strong north-east wind, attained the
summit of Skiddaw to witness the rising of the sun.
Hero snow was observed 6 feet deep. • After taking. a
-little refreshment, 'they descended on the east side, pass-
ing Skiddaw Hawse, through the forest ; thence into the
Earl of Lonsdale's liberties, and so forward to Fowl-
cragg. Thence they ascended to the summit of Saddle-
back, and down Scales Fell to Scales. There they rested
about 4 hours, and then proceeded to High Row ; after-
wards to Brundholin Wood; 1).1.,ied Greta Bank, and
back to Keswick. We have seldom heard of robust foot
tourists visiting both Skiddaw and saddleback in one
day; but, on the part of the gentler sex we think the
feat unparalleled.—Dcrwmtwocr Rcorg,
