FUNERAL OF THE LATE MARCHIONESS OF ANGLESEY.
—Yesterday morning the remains of the late Marchioness
of Anglesey were removed from Anglesey House, Bur-
lington-gardens, to the Euston-square station of the
London and North-Western Railway, from whence they
were conveyed, by special train, to Lichfield, en route
to the family seat, at Beaudesert. The outer or state
coffin, is a splendid speciman of workmanship, being
manufactured of the finest Spanish mahogany, covered
with rich Genoa velvet, thickly studded with gilt nails
and ornaments. On the sides and either hands are eight
massive gilt handles, curiously chased, each being sur-
mounted by a coronet. On the lid is an emblamatical
device of the torch of life. The plate, surmounted by a
coronet, bears the following inscription :—Charlotte,
wife of Henry William, first Marquis of Anglesey,
K.G., G.C.8., P.C., &c. Born 11th July, 1781 ; died
Bth July, 1853." The remains will be removed this
day from Beaudesert to the cathedral, Lichfield, where
the obsequies will be performed, and the body deposited
in the family vault. The church at Beaudesert and the
cathedral have been hung in black pending the solem-
nities.
ROYAL ORTHOPEDIC HOSPITAL.—The friends of this
hospital are making endeavours to raise sufficient funds
to erect a new building, capable of accommodating a
much larger number of patients than the present limited
establishment in Bloomsbury-square. It appears that
patients are received from all parts of the kingdom
club-foot, curvature of the spine, and other deformities,
for the cure of which the hospital was established, being
exceedingly prevalent among the poorer classes. Since
1839 more than 14,000 severe cases have been cured
without the occurrence of a single death, or case of per-
manent injury. The number benefited by the charity,
will be greatly increased by the enlargement, as a con-
siderable number are necessarily deferred from day to
day, owing to the present lack of accommodation.
SUSPECTED MURDER NEAR WlNDSOR.—Yesterday
afternoon an inquiry which had commenced on Tuesday,
before Mr. John Charsley, one of the coroners for Bucks,
was resumed and conclud:l at the Horse and Groom,
Datchet, touching tho death of William Heap, a lad
about 17 years of age, in the employ of Messrs. Caley,
silk mercers, of Windsor. It appears that the deceased
was formerly employed as a labourer on the interns;
works of Windsor Castle, but had been with the Messrs.

Caley, as errand boy, for the last six months, performing
his duties to their entire satisfaction. On the after-
noon of Wednesday se'nnight he was sent with parcels
through Eton, Upton-park, and Langley, and delivered
his last package at Middle-green, in the last-named
parish, at a little after nine o'clock at night. He was
then five miles from Windscr, and his way home was by
Datchet and the Home-park. Not arriving home, the
Messrs. Caley caused every search to be made for him,
without effect, until. Monday morning, when his body
was discovered floating in a small piece of "buck" water,
at the bottom of a meadow, adjoining
.the Thames,

near the village of Datchet. No cause could be assigned
for self-destruction, and his parents stated their belief
that deceased was "too good a boy" to attempt any-
thing of the kind. At the same time it was recollected
that deceased had been brutally assaulted, and nearly
killed, on Datchet old bridge some three years ago by a
drover boy named Blackall, who was taken before the
magistrates and heavily fined. One or two o/ the inha-
bitants of Datchet felt positive that Blackall passed
through the village on the Wednesday evening, and the
case seemed not only mysterious, but full of suspicion.
At the adjourned inquest, however, yesterday, two sur-
geons, who had made the post modem examination, de-
posed that they could trace no marks of violence either
externally or internally, and that the body presented no
other appearances than those found on drowned persons.
Blackall was also brought up, and he clearly established
an alibi, proving at the same time that not the slightest
ill-feeling had ever existed between himself and deceased
since the period of the assault. Under these circum-
stances the jury returned a verdict of "Found drowned."
