BURNING OF THE THEATRE AT

CARLSRUH E.
The Gazette de Carlsruhe of the 4th oMa
fMarch gives an
account of the interment of the unhappy victims of the late
awful fire. The whole city wore an air of deep mourning.
The shops and warehouses were closed. The funeral cortege,
accompanied by a crowd of the relatives and friends of the
deceased, followed by the greater part of the inhabitants of
the city, left the Hotel de Ville for the cemetery, which is
beyond the city.
This procession presented a most heart-rending spectacle.
Almost every individual was in tears, and the death-like
silence which prevailed was only interrupted by the sighs of
the mourners.
Eight coffins enclosed the remains and the fragments dug
out of the ruins. The mutilated remains of those who were
involved in one common catastrophe are now laid in one
grave.
The Roman Catholic priest who accompanied the proces-
sion, with a Protestant clergyman and Jewish Rabbi, blessed
the ground in which they were about to be deposited.
The three ministers of the three different faiths, each in
his turn, said a last prayer over the grave, which was fre-
quently interrupted by the great grief of the attendants. ' .
According to the official list of the victims of this terrible
disaster, infancy and youth have been the principal suf-
ferers ; of 62 names Which are known, 29 young persons from
the age of 10 to 20, 22 from 20 to 30 years, aud only 4 per..
sons of from 40 to 50, have perished.

THE WELLINGTON STATUE.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
Su ,—ln the pending controversy respecting the position of
the Wellington Statue,l beg very respectfully to suggest to the
gentlemen forming the committee of management of the same
the propriety of exchanging the respective sites of that and the
statue of Achilles—a pedestal to be forn:ied on the spot of the
latter of corresponding size and proportion to the colossal di-
mensions of the former.--I am, Sir, &c., W. A.
Furnival's Inn, March 11, 1847.

" RUFF'S GUIDE TO THE TURF" for the ensuing
season made its appearance on Thursday last, and from the
mass and variety of information it offers in a cheap and
pocketable shape, is likely to have a good run. Its chief con-
tents are a calendar of all the races in Great Britain in 1846,
the entire English and Irish nominations for 1847, all the
great racing 4. lots," a list of nearly four hundred trainers
and jockeys, laws of racing, colours of the riders, lengths of
courses, &c. &c.
BRISTOL SUGAR-MARKET, MARCH 12.--A fair
amount of business has been done in our sugar-market this
week, and prices are rather dearer, particularly for Mauri-
tius, of which the assortment offering has been good. The
refined market is very quiet.—Bristol Mercury.
The statement of a dissolution of Parliament in
June is not at all likely to prove correct. Whatever may
have been the desire to bring the labours of the session to an
early termination, and to obtain the assistance of a new par-
liament before the harvest, we believe that the state of public
business affords no probability of such an arrangement.—
Observer.
MARRIAGE IN HIGH Viscount Ebrington,
eldest son of the Earl of Fortescue, was on Friday married
at Carne, in Dorsetshire, to Miss Darner, eldest daughter of
the Hon. Colonel and Mrs. Dawson Darner. After the cere-
mony, which was attended by a large circle of relatives of
both the noble and distinguished families, the noble pair left
for Dropmore.
CROCKFORD'S CLUB HOUSE.--On Saturday, at the
Special Sessions for granting new licenses, held in the board-
room of the workhouse, Mount-street, Grosvenor-square, ap-
plication was made for a license for the St. James's Assembly
Rooms and Club House, late Crockford's, in St. -James's-
street. Mr. C. Clarkson read the petition of the applicant,
which was to the effect that he had taken the premises for
many years, which he had refitted at a great expense. It
had been constructed for public balls and concerts, for the
amusement of the upper classes, from whom he had received
very extensive patronage. The applicant said that it veca'd
be his constant endeavour to maintain order. He, therefore,
trusted that he should receive the countenance and support
of the bench. The chairman said, after some considaation,
that as it was intended to have public balls and concerts,
they mutt refuse the license, which they did uminlousiy.
