FUNERAL OF Two OF THE CRIMEA. HFROES.--LIVER-
POOL, Jan. 25.—Two of the invalids brought from the
Crimea by the Cambria have died in the hospital, and
their funeral took place in St. James's Cemetery this
afternoon. The first of tiles. was John Stark, a private
in the 93d Highlanders, who had bees so completely
prostrated by ague and dysentery that the vital powers
were unable to rally, and he expired on Sunday evening.
The other, who died on Monday, was John Hewitson,
a private in the 20th Regiment of Foot. The privations
and fatigues of the campaign in this case superinduced
consumption. The coffins were borne on the shoulders
of 12 of the invalids, and they were followed by a con-
siderable number of those who were able to walk, and
also by three cars, filled by wounded soldiers, whose
condition precluded them from walking. There being
no military stationed in Liverpool, tho firing party was
selected from recruiting corps billeted in the town. A
vast concourse of people followed the procession, which
left the hospital at two o'clock.

[ADTERTISEMENT.]—HoIIoway's Ointment and Pills
incomparable remedies for bad legs.—Mr. Shackell,
butcher, of Old Brentford, was afflicted for a long time
with three wounds in his leg, which rendered him totally
unable to attend to his usual avocations in fact, his leg
was so bad that it defied all medical skill to effect a cure.
He then made use of Holloway's ointment and pills, pay-
ing every attention to- the instructions given with the
medicines, and the result was, after persevering with
these remedies for about ten weeks, that his leg is com-
pletely cured, and he now enjoys most excellent health.

" J. kussELL."
According to my noble friend's desire, I laid this re-
signation before her Majesty, who was graciously pleased
to accept it. I have said that I was net fully possessed
of the motives—of all the motives—that might have in-
duced my noble friend to adopt this course. I was well
aware that seine time ago—two months ago—my noble
friend disapproved of or was dissatisfied with the con-
duct Of the war, but atter the explanations which took
place on that occasion, and his constant activity in shar-
ing the business and preparing the measures of the Go-
vernment up to the day at which Parliament reassem-
bled, I was 'certainly somewhat surprised, as well as
deeply concerned, at receiving the letter I have read to
your lordships. My noble friend may be at this moment
giving—at all events, it is his intention this day to give
—a full explanation of his motives and of his conduct.
It is not for me to do more than to express—which I do
most unfeignedly—the deep* regret I feel at the step
which he has thought it his duty to take. My lords, no
Man can possibly feel more than I do the great loss
which her Majesty's Government must sustain by such
an event as this. Indeed, any of your lordships who
were present must recollect that at the formation of the
present Government I expressly stated that I never
would have ventured to undertake the formation of an
Administration had I not secured the effective co-opera-
tion and assistance of my noble friend. My lords, under
these circumstances, and in ordinary times, I might
have, perhaps, adopted myself a different course from that
which I have resolved to take ; but in the present con-
dition of the country and of public affairs, and of her
Majesty's Government, I felt it due to our own honour
—(hear)—to our own consistency—(hear, hear)—and to
our sense of duty, to meet that motion which is to be
made this night in another place, and which will decide
whether a censure is to be pronounced upon her Ma-
jesty's Government or not. (Hear, hear, hear.) Even
without the great and powerful and almost indispensable
assistance of my noble friend, we have thought it due to
ourselves to meet the motion so announced, and which
induced hiqi to take the course which I have now stated.
(Hear, hear.)
ROMAN CATHOLIC PROCESSIONS.
Lord BERNERS inquired whether the attention of
her Majesty's Government had been called to the public
procession of Roman Catholic ecclesiastics in the town
of Tuam on the 15th of August last, wearing the habits
of their orders, in contravention of the 10th Geo. IV.,
cap. 7, and whether any proceedings had been taken to
vindicate the law and prevent its violation in future 1
The Earl of ABERDEEN said the procession al-
luded to by the noble earl had not escaped the attention
of her Majesty's Government ; but as the interference of
the Government would tend to create religious discord,
the Government had determined not to interfere.
