LORD CLYDE'S FUNERAL.—A writer in the
Morning Post says no man is a hero to his valet de
chambre; neither is he, so it. would seem, to be considered
one at his club. On Saturday last, when universal respect
was paid to the funeral cortege of Lord Clyde, at the United
Service Club—the deceased field-marshal's especial haunt
—it was conspiuous by its absence. The blinds of this club
were not drawn down on the occasion, as every one expected
them to have been. But this is not, I hear, to be attri-
buted to accident or mere neglect; it was the result

of a consultation and a decision. The latter pro-
nounced that, inasmuch as the blinds were not drawn
down on the occasion of Lord Dundonald's funeral,
they must remain up during that of Lord Clyde. Did
the committee forget altogether that the funeral pro-
cession of Lord Dundonald did not pass the United Ser-
vice Club at all ?

SUAKSPERE'S STUDY—or rather a relic of it just
discovered at Stratford-on-Avon : whence Mr.
Halliwell has recently (August 19, 1863) addressed the
Athenceum :—" I have the pleasure of informing you that
excavations I have lately caused to be made on the east (the
garden side of the Now Place, have resulted in the dis-
covery of the foundations of a large bay window, which is
undoubtedly a fragment of the poet's residence. There are
other remains also laid bare, and it is hoped that the works
now in progress will reveal other relies; but the discovery
now mentioned at the end of a room out of which
Shakspere must often have looked, and which, most pro-
bably, was his study, appears b he one of so much interest,
I cannot help thinking that you will be glad to draw public
attention to it. That the remains of the window belong to
Shakspere's New Place, not to the later Clopton residence,
is a fact which admits of absolute proof, their situation and
character being altogether inconsistent with the known
disposition of the latter building,"

THE GREAT METROPOLIS, with its population of
very nearly three millions, has, in point of fact, a
population larger than that of Denmark and many Sove-
reign States, nearly as large as that of our sister kingdom
Scotland, and more than half as large as that of Ireland.—

The half-yearly meeting of the General Steam
Navigation Company was held yesterday, John Wilkin,
Esq., in the chair, when the report of the directors and a
statement of the accounts for the year ending 30th June
last were read to the meeting and unanimously adopted.
The usual dividend of 14s. per share, being at the rate of
10 per cent. per annum, was declared.

AMERICAN WAD, STATISTICS.—The following
Confederate Governors of States are in eyre, and have
no lc cal habitation for their executive :—Thomas O'Moore,
of Louisiana ; Johann Harris, of Tennessee ; John Pettus
of Mississippi ; F. Flannigan, of Arkansas. It is estimated
thae, from the commencement of the war, 09,874 Federals
have been killed, 117,020 wounded, 73,218 made prisoners,
and 250,000 died from disease and wounds. That 50,893
Confederates have been killed, 119,615 wounded, 59,169
made prisoners, and 250,000 died from disease and wounds.
This estimation dates prior to July,—.Army and Navy
Gazette.

bIIOCEING ACCIDENT,—On Saturday last, while
reaping with a machine at Ayton Law, Berwickshire, a
young woman had the misfortune by some means to get in
front of the reaper, and had both her feet cut off. Medical
aid was obtained, and it was found necessary to amputate
one of the legs above the knee. On Sunday she was in a
precarious condition.

THE LATE PRIZE FIGHT BETWEEN TRATERS AND
DILLON._At the Petty Sessions for the Woking-
ham Division of Berks, held yesterday, before Major Court,
Captain Gower, and other justices, Robert Travers and
James Dillon, who recently fought in the neighbouring
village of Twyford for £4OO, were summoned for having
attended at that place for the purpose of committing a breach
of the peace; and Alexander King, Robert Webb, George
Brown, Nathaniel Longhorn, Tom Tyler, Fred. Oliver, and
John Hicks were summoned for aiding and abetting the
above. Travers, King, Webb, Brown, Oliver, and Hicks
appeared and pleaded guilty. The justices called upon the
principals to enter into their recognisances in the sum of
£5.0 to keep the peace for six months, and the others were
bound over in the sum of £2O. These conditions were
complied with by the defendants, and we believe that at a
subsequent period of the day the others attended and en-
tered into the required sureties. _ _
