THE LATE SIR CRESSWELL CRESSWELL.—The
funeral and interment of the mortal remains of this late
estimable Judge of the Probate and Divorce Court took
place to-day, at the Kensal-green Cemetery. The funeral
was strictly private, and confined to the immediate rela-
tives and friends of the deceased.

THE SISTER OF SIR SIDNEY SMITH.—We read
in the Army and Navy Gazette:—" There is, we are
told, now living in abject penury, a woman aged 80 years,
who is described as the sister and only surviving relative Of
a man whose name and whose deeds were on every one's
lips in the early part of this century. The woman is a lady ;
she is in beggary, subsisting on casual charity, and so saved
from dying in the pauper's ward of the workhouse. There
are doubtless many poor ladies living in indigence, but the
sister and sole surviving relative of Sidney Smith, the
hero of Acre '—a British admiral, a Grand Cross of the
Bath—has surely some special claims on the consideration
of those who are able to spare her the last degradation from
which the Government and the country are apparently un-
able to rescue the few remaining hours of life. General
and Lady Mary Fox, Captain Kitchen, R.N., Commander
Wright, R.N., vouch for the truth of the lady's condition
and claims. The charitable and generous may send in sub-
scriptions to General Fox, at Coutts's ; all the navy agents
will receive any aid from the public for the same purpose ;
and we shall be happy to take charge of any sum intended
for the relief of the lady, addressed to Mr. Marchant, Array
and Navy Gazette office, Sidney Smith.' "
ACCIDENT TO THE GOVERNOR OF MALTA.—We
regret to say that owing to the filthy state of that part of
Strada Teatro between Strada San Paolo and Strada St.
Ursola, Sir Gaspard Le Marchant, one day last week, fell
on the steps, but fortunately suffered no hurt. We have on
several occasions called the attenticn of the police to the
necessity of seeing that the scavengers perform their duty
better in this locality, and although there has been some
improvement of late there is ample room for more, and we
trust that this accident to his excellency will be the means
of the issue of a stringent order on the subject. It may be
well here also to call the notice of the police to the lowness
of the awnings over shop-doors, and of the projecting iron
gratings in some of the principal thoroughfares, below the
ordinary stature of a man. It was only a few days ago that
his Excellency lost his hat by coming into collision with
one of those awnings. The police should order the re-
moval of such nuisances,--Malta Times, July 30.
