REQUIEM Fog THE LATE EARL OF SHREWSBURY.—
Yesterday morning
a solemn mass, for the repose of the
soul of the deceased Earl of Shrewsbury, was celebrated
at the Roman Catholic church in the Westminster-road,
where the mortal remains of the earl have been lying
since their removal from Naples to this country. The
esteem in which the deceased earl was held by the Ro-
man Catholic body, for his piety, as well as for his muni-
ficence in the promotion of his faith, drew a large assem-
blage of persons, who, before the commencement of the
service, at eleven o'clock, filled the body of the church,
the aisles being also crowded by persons unable to find
room elsewhere.

ANNIVERSARY OF THE POLISH REVOLUTION.—Yester-
day being the 22d anniversary of the Polish revolution
of 1830-31, many
Polish refugees, resident in London,
attended a funeral service in memory of those who fell
in that national struggle. Mass was said by the Rev.
G. Stasiewicz, in the Roman Catholic chapel, Sutton-
street, Soho-square.
PRINCE ALBERT AND THE MARYLEBONE FREE LI-
BRARY.—Prince Albert, in addition to permitting his
name to appear as
patron of the Marylebone Free Li-
brary, has transmitted through the Hon. Col. Phipps to
Mr. Oliveira, the chairman, the munificent donation of
.501. towards the establishment of that institution, thus
showing the lively sympathy evinced by his royal high-
ness in the improvement of the intellectual condition of
the working classes. This excellent example will, we
trust, be followed, in proportion to their means, by men
of all classes in the country. Every locality ought to
have its free library.
