FOREIGN OFFICE, JUNE 30.
The Queen has been graciously pleased to appoint Henry
William Hemars, Esq., to be her Majesty's Consul at
Buffalo,

At neon yesterday the mortal remains of George
William Frederick, seventh Earl of Carlisle,
were deposited in the ancestral mausoleum in
Castle Howard-park. In this Romano-Doric
banding eleven of the ancestors of the deceased
arl- have been interred. The catacombs are
64 in number, and the first one was tenanted by
Charles, the third Earl, in 1738. The other burials
•-were—Charles Viscount Morpeth, eldest son of the
fidurth Earl, 1741; the Countess, his m-)ther, 1742 ;
Robert Viscount Morpeth, second son of the fourth
Earl, 1743; Henry, the fourth E 1758 ; the Hon.
Charles Howard, second son of the third Earl, 1760;
the Right Hon. Lady Mary Howard, third
daughter of the third Earl, 1786; Caroline Leveson
Gower, Countess of Carlisle, 1821; Frederick, fifth
Earl of Carlisle, 1825 ; George, sixth Earl of Car-
lisle, 1848 ; Gsorgiana Dorothy, Countess of Car-
lisle,
1858, and George William Frederick, the late
and seventh Earl, 1864, making the twelfth burial,
sand occupying one-fifth of the catacombs. Com-
pared with the pageants consequent upon the inter.
pavan of previous Earls of Carlisle, the cortege of
yesterday was simplicity itself. Throughout life
the deceased had a great objection to useless
pageantry, and before his decease he expressed his
desire that hie funeral might be conducted with as
little display as possible. There has consequently
been no lybag in state, and yesterday there was no
grand procession. There was, indeed, an entire
absence of all stately form and pomp ; but the deep
silence of the vast congregation of the nobility,
gentry, yeomanry, and tenantry, with hundreds of
strangers, gave token of their grief. To the chapel
itself only 80 tickets were available, and of these
only 20 were for the public, generally for the re-
presentatives of the press ; but to the mausoleum
ground 400 tickets were issued, which carried the
privilege of a visit to the Chapel and through the
catacombs after the departure of the mourners.
The Borough Bailiff of Mallon declined to re-
quest a cessation from business, preferring to
leave the method of observance of the day to the
good taste of the public, and it is only right to
say that almost all shops were totally closed after 9
o'clock. The bells of the churches were tolled, and
there was a general aspect of mourning. Ia York
she day was similarly observed.

The mortal remains of the late earl were enclosed
in three coffins—one of oak, one of lead, and the chief
one of solid Spanish mahogany. The outer coffin was
covered with crimson Genoa velvet. The lid bore a
plate of chased silver, bearing the inscription :--

" George William Frederick,
Seventh Earl of Carlisle, KAI.,
Born April 15, 1802,
Died December 5, 1864."

The procession left the castle at half-past 12.
Among the mourners were the Deices of Sutherland
and Devonshire, Earl Granville, Marquis of Hart.
ington, Lords Taunton, E. Howard, F. Howard;
Honourables Admiral Howard, Charles Howard,
Henry Howard, Mr Da Cane, and others. The body
was met at the chapel by the Hon. and Rev. Francis
Grey, the late Earl's brother-in-law, who road the
service with the greatest sole milityand amid a breath-
less silence. The chapel was draped with black, and
some of the lady members of the family were pre-
sent who had not formed part of the funeral pro-
cession. Among these were the Lady Elizabeth Las.
Slles, the three Misses Laecelles, the Duchess of
utherland, Lady Taunton, Lady Elizabeth Grey,
Lady Louisa Cavendish, Lady Beget, and Mrs E.
Howard. The conclusion of the service was per-
formed in the catacomb, which was also draped in
black, and lit with a large number of tapers.
It is somewhat singular that the title and estates,
through seven generations, extending over a space
of two centuries, have descended in a direct line
from father to son till now the first break occurs.
The eighth earl, the Rev. William George Howard,
has long been an invalid, end it is more than pro-
bable he will never enter on public life. The next
in order is Admiral Edward Howard, R.N., who
has no issue, and therefore the presumption is that
the title and estates will ultimately fall to the Hon.
Charles Howard, whose ,son,. Mr. George James
Howard, married the daughter of Lord Stanley of
Alderley a few weeks ago. Upon this young gen-
tleman it is probable the earldom and estates wilt
ultimately devolve.

Sir Roundell Palmer and Industrial
Exhibitions.

Last evening a meeting was held at the Maryle.
bone Court-house for the purpose of advancing an
industrial exhibition for the borough of Mars lebone.
Sir Roundell Palmer, M.P., the Attorney-General,
presided, and was supported by many of the chief
inhabitants of the district.

The CHAIRMAN, in opening the proceedings, ex-
pressed his great gratification at being honoured
with the invitation to preside that evening, He
looked upon the movement, he said, as a most im-
portant one for all classes, it being purposed to cause
the industry, intelligence, and industrial fine arts
of this large district of the metropolis to be repre-
sented before the public in a manner as advanta-
geous as the industry and fine arts of other parts of
the metropolis had been represented. He was not
one of those who had had the pleasure of witnessing
the exhibition lately held in the North of London ;
but from all he had heard that was a very happy
beginning of a series of exhibitions calculated to
advance the interests and advance the knowledge
of those who by a misnomer were called the "work-
ing classes." Those who witnessed that exhibition
were struck with the works exhibited by the labour.
ing classes, and all felt that the principle on which
the exhibition was founded contained the germs of
the great advancement of all classes. A resolution
passed at a meeting held in September last to pro-
mote this movement said that " Working-class in-
dustrial exhibitions are eminently calculated to pro-
mote progress of invention and industrial art, to
bring out the talent of working men and women,
and to inculcate a just pride in their works." At
such an exhibition more than anywhere else would
be seen what could be done, because there was
shown what had been done without the advantages
of great capital and leisure—in fact, under great dis-
advantages, and it was impossible that those who
were in like circumstances to the producers and ex-
hibitors of such things could look upon the handia
work of their fellows without feeling greatly stima.
lited to do the same. Thus would the interests of
invention be advanced, and the artificers and me-
chanics who were the foundation of all society and
all invention would be advanced as well. It was,
he thought, too frequent a thing that those who in-
vented had the fruit of their toil taken by those
who employed them, and it was but just that the
artificers should have a fair field open to them to
give them the opportunity to bring forward their
own production. It was clear that such an exhibition
in promoting inventive art needed protection. He
was told there was a fear that the publicity given
to inventions would tend to the prejudice of invehe
tors, and he was informed that there was a move-
ment on foot to obtain for inventors the same privi.
leges as were accorded to exhibitors in the internaa
tional displays, that the exibition of inventions
shall not be deemed a publication to the prejudice of
the inventor. This seemed a just principle, and he
would do his best to throw this amount of protec.
tion around the working man. Greatly pleased as he
was with the promotion of invention to which these
exhibitions tended, it was more satisfactory to him
that there was a tendency in them to bring out the
talent of working men and working•women. After
all, however valuAhle as were the products of in-
vention, there was something more necessary and
advantageous still—the moral elevation and happi.
ness of that class on which Society depended, and if
elicit exhibitions tended, as he was sure they did, to
etiinulate in the working man a laudable ambition,
they would tend to increase in them self-respect,
the power of self-government and of eelf.eorquest,
end to make them
better appreciated by ocher
classes. These would be greater advantages h
would be derived from any elimnins given to inven_
tion. It could not be doubted that when the beau-
tiful productions of the labouring classes in hours
after exhausting toil were viewed by other young
men, these young men would strive to emulate the
example thus set them, and seek the high self-
caltivation found in such pursuits. And it was not
mere negative advantuge which was thus ac-

quired. It was certainly too true that these who
had not much space in the places where they dwelt
were surrounded by inducements to spend a "coins
fortable evening" where they were likely to meet
with more harm than good. But the negative good
which the exhibitions inculcated, in taking men
from these evils, was as nothing compared with the
positive good when they spurred men on to take
pleasure in cultivating in themselves the sense of
beauty, for they tended then to the improvement of
the inner man, they made the men worthy of hohour
by others, and they made the men feel ajust respect
for themselves. He did not like the term
" working classes." He felt a jealousy of it, for
be believed he was rather a hard working man.
All were members of one class in that sense of
being working men, and all classes could take
pleasure in viewing the productions of any
one portion of the community. It would, indeed, be
a miserable thing if one class of society should be far
separated in feeling from another; and it would be
a miserable thing if those who were well off should
look down upon those beneath them in circum-
stances. Those who held a position in life in con-
nexion with intellectual pursuits could go to such
an exhibition as it was proposed to form and see
things which they could not make themselves, but
in which they could recognise high intellectual gifts.
The man of learning would find himself surpassed
in works which he would be glad to have the power
and skill to do, and so would be brought to under-
stand the intellectual community which existed be-
tween those who were differently placed in society.
All those views had been much better expressed
than he could express them by the Chancellor of
the Exchequer, and to those remarks he most cor-
dially subscribed, adding that he should not find
more pleasure in anything when he could take even
the humblest part in elevating those whom they
were pleased to call the " working classes."
The learned gent!eman was loudly cheered on the
conclusion of this address.

The Rev. Eardley Welmott, Mr Nicholay, Mr
D'lffanger, and several other gentlemen addressed
the meeting, and resolutions in favour of the Exhi-
bition having been passed the meeting concluded
with a vote of thanks to the chairman.
