FUNERAL OF LORD METCALFE.—Yesterday after-
noon the mortal remains of Charles Theophilus, first
and last Baron Metcalfe, were consigned to their last
resting-place. It has already been stated that that
touch -lamented nobleman died at Malshanger, near
Basingstoke, but his body was removed on the morn-
ing of the funeral to within a few miles of the church
of Winkfield, in Berkshire, to be deposited in the vault
with his ancestors. The country seat of the Metcalfe
family is Fern-hill, in the parish of Winkfield, but for
many years past that residence has been held by sue-
cessive tenants of the deceased peer, the last of whom
was Sir Felix Booth; its present occupant is the Dowager
Lady Granville. On this account, therefore, the mourners
sod attendants did not a,semble, as under other circum-
stances they would have done at Fern-hill, but at Hill-
note e, the residence of his Lordship's nei.hew, Sir Hes-
keth Fleetwood. Hill-house is also in the parish of
Winkfield. The obsequies of the deceased peer were
conducted in a manner quite becou ing his high rank
and the great personal esteem in which he had ever
been held, but at the same time with no unusual or
ostentatious display. There were, of course, several
mourning-coaches and four, the church was hung with
black cloth, the coronet of the deceased was borne upon
a crimson velvet cushion, the coffin was covered with
crimson velvet, the hearse was adorned with paintings of
the arms, coronet, &c., belonging to the deceased, and
every part of the ceremony was performed with impres-
sive effect. Amongst the mourners were Lord Monson,
Sir Alan M'Nab, Mr. James Metcalfe, Mr. Thomas
Metcalf', Mr. Brownrigg, M.P., Sir Hesketh Fleetwood,
Bart., Messrs. Martin, Brownrigg, jun., Smythe, Howell,
&c. The private carriages of several noblemen and
gentlemen followed the mourning coaches; amongst the
latter we noticed that of Lord Ashbrooke, the brother-in-
law of the deceased. It is understood that Mr. Brown-
rigg has been appointed Lord Metcalfe's executor, and
that the bulk of his Lordship's property will go to Mr.
James Metcalfe. His Lordship's brother, now in India,
inherits the baronetcy, to which the deceased peer suc-
ceeded more than twenty years ago.
ASSASSINATION OF A REVENUE OFFICER AT :130-
LOCNA.—A letter from Bologna states, that the san-
fedisti have been guilty of a -horrible assassination. A
revenue officer having refused to participate in their ma-
chinations against Pius IX., fell a victim to his devotion.
As he had expressed his intention of going to Rome,
fearing lest he should inform against them, they shot
him. 'I he crime was scarcely perpetrated when the son-
fedist who were anxiously awaiting the result in the
streets et Faenza. b gan to cry out, "Behold the fruits
of the amnesty l" Ilappily the victim of this cowardly
act had still life enough left before expiring to denounce
his murderers, and the motives of their act. They wished
to impute the act to the effects of the amnesty. His
statement was taken down and sworn to by seventeen
witnesses. The whole population of Faenza, without
distinction, followed the murdered man to his grave;
the funeral was on a rnaunificent scale. Public opinions
also, points out the saufedisti as the murderers of the
Swi,-s Colonel who was assassinated on the public square
of Forli a few days pievious to the above-mentioned-
murder.

CLONMEL ELECTION.
RETURN OF THE HON. CECIL LAWLESS.

(From the Chronicle.)
CLON3IEL, SATURDAY EVENING.—I have just time to
apprise you that the son of one of Ireland's truest pa-
triots has been elected to serve in Parliament for this
fine town. Of Mr. Lawless personally little or nothing
was known here. The fact, however, of his being Lord
Cloncurry's son was a recommendation, in the opinion
of the burgesses, of the strongest possible character.
At eleven o'clock his worship the Mayor, as returning
officer, repaired to the Court-house for the purpose of
bolding the election. I noticed near the bench the Rev.
Dr. Burke, Aldermen Keily and Hackett, Town Coun-
cillors Kenny, Edward O'Neill, Ginton, Corcoran, Bar-
rett, Messrs. P. O'Neill, Counsellor Murphy (the return-
ing officer's assessor), Dominick Ronane, E. O'Shaugh-
nessey, &c.
The galleries were densely crowded, even though it
was market-day.
The precept was read by the Town Clerk, after which
The MAYOR (Mr. Bianconi, proprietor of the cele-
brated car establishment) said the duty would now de-
volve on the burgesses of electing a representative in
Parliament in the room of the Right Hon. Mr. Pigott,
lately elevated to the judicial bench. He was therefore
ready to hear any gentleman who wished to propose a
successor to that gentleman.
The Very Rev. Dr. BURKE, parish priest, then rose,
and was warmly received. The reverend gentleman re-
viewed the condition of Ireland, socially and politically,
during the last half century, regretted the misery under
which the people laboured—trusted that a better state
of things was about to dawn on Ireland—and, as a con-
vincing proof that the Raman Catholics did not desire
ascendancy, or that they were opposed to aristocracy,
especially when its members were devoted to the pros-
perity of their country and their kind, instanced the
fact, that though candidates were plentiful, and might
be easily procured, nevertheless, they (the Roman Ca-
tholic consituency) had met that day for the purpose of
electing a Protestant representative, in the person of
the Hon. Cecil Lawless, a gentleman, too, of high aris-
tocratic bearing—but of the right sort.
Alderman HACKETT, in brief but energetic terms, se-
conded the nomination.
The usual period having elapsed, and no other candi-
date having been proposed, the Mayor declared the
Hon. Cecil Lawless duly elected to serve in the Imperial
Parliament for the borough of Clonmel. Three cheers
were then given for the Mayor, Lord Cloncurry, repeal
of the Union, Mr. O'Connell, &c.
The Mayor having vacated the chair, and Dr. Burke
having been called thereto, the marked and especial
thanks of the burgesses (on the motion of Alderman
Hackett, seconded by Town-Councillor O'Neill), were
accorded to Mr. Bianconi for his unwearied exertions in
the cause of Ireland, and more particularly for his
anxiety at all times to preserve the independence of Clon-
mel. The return was afterwards signed by many electors
in the judges' chamber, and thus terminated the election
of a Member for Clonmel.
Mr. Lawless, who is in Scotland, published no address,
nor has any communication whatever been received from
him. This apparent indifference had, for some days,
caused the deepest dissatisfaction ; but the friends of
Mr. Lawless explained the matter by stating that that
gentleman had not been apprised of his selection as a
candidate, in consequence of the shortness of the inter-
vening time.

OPEN-AIR MEETINGS OF THE PEASANTRY.
DUBLIN, SEPT. 13.—1 beg your attention to the fol-
lowing important proceedings in the county of Limerick,
where the movement of the peasantry is conducted, even
according to the accounts in the Tory papers, with order
and tranquillity:—
LIMERICK, SEPT. 12.--Pursuant to notices posted on
all the chapels in the barony of Kenry, a meeting was
held on Thursday at Court-hill, in this county, for the
purpose of calling on the landlords to assemble and try
by every means in their power to avert impending fa-
mine. On arriving at Court-hill and Court-bridge, at
one o'clock, our reporter saw a multitude of near 4,000
persons, including women and children. From Massy's-
bridge to Court-bridge a strong military force, compris-
ing a troop of the Bth Hussars, with Captains Todd,
Grant, and Day's companies 85th, under command of
Col. Cox, Quartermaster-General, from this garrison,
lined the road-side banks, being held in reserve for pre-
caution, but did not approach the meeting.
At one o'clock the Rev. TIMOTHY FOLEY, P.P., of
Stonehall, was called to the chair. He said the present
meeting was convened for the purpose of inducing the
landlords to come forward, and as far as lay in their
power to assist.. in mitigating-the present distress. He
continued to say that the general failure of the potato
crop was probably a wise dispensation of Providence,
and he hoped in the end would turn out for the best. He
warned all those persons assembled to go home peaceably
and quietly when the meeting was over, and on no sc-
eount to drink intoxicating liquor. The Rev. Gentleman
throughout was cheered by the multitude.
The Rev. Mr. TUOMY, R.C.C., then proposed the fol-
lowing resolution:—" That we, the inhabitants of the
barony of Kenry, have assembled here this day peace-
ably, legally, and constitutionally, for the express pur-
pose of sending our humble petition to our most Gracious
Sovereign the Queen, informing our Sovereign and her
councillors of the impending famine, and the distress
consequent thereon." The Rev. Gentleman stated that
it was said the Irish people were ungrateful, but he
bore willing testimony, as far as his own experience led
him, to contradict the assertion. He hoped that the
landlords and Government would do what they could
and at once to allay the fearful distress, and concluded
by proposing three cheers for the " Queen and Prince
Albert," which were heartily responded to.
Mr. J. SEEEHY seconded the resolution.
T. ROSE, Esq., Court, proposed the second resolution
—" That we, the farmers and labourers of the barony of
Kenry, most respectfully call on the landlords of this
barony immediately to meet their respective tenantry,
and to suggest means with them to alleviate impending
famine, and to give to their tenantry the means of sup-
port for themselves and families." After proposing the
resolution, Mr. Rose said he would he most happy in co-
operating with the landlords of the district, and he
earnestly hoped they would acquiesce in the spirit of his
resolution.—(Cheers.)
Mr. M. FITZQERALD, of Pallaskenry, seconded it.
Mr. M. POTTER, Spring-lodge, proposed the third
resolution--" That we do respectfully call on the Lord-
Lieutenant of Ireland to order a baronial meeting for
this our barony, to adopt means to carry out the provi-
sions of the 10th Victoria, to give employment to a
starving population." Mr. Potter then said he would
not ask a penny from any man who had potato ground
from him this year whose crop had failed—(Cheers)—.
nor would he see a neighbour of his want while he had
a pound in the world.—(Great cheers.) He knew the
Earl of Besborough was inclined to do good, and he
earnestly hoped the landlords would co-operate with the
Government—and he would be happy in giving them his
hearty support.—(Cheers.)
Mr. JOHN O'REGAN, Repeal Warden, Pallaskenry,
seconded the resolution.
Mr. JOHN MAHONY, 1?..W., Castletown, proposed the
4th resolution, " That the thanks of this meeting be
given to the landlords, gentry, and farmers of this dis-
trict, who came forward so liberally last year with sub-
scriptions in aid of the distress, and particularly to those
gentlemen who gave employment to their tenantry."
Mr. Mahony particularised General Caulfield and Mr.
Stephen De Vere.
Mr. WILLIAM Riciianos'm stood up and said that
the Reverend William Waller ought to be mentioned
as well as them, as he was always most forward in re-
lieving distress, and devoted two days each week in at-
tending his loan office, besides what private charity he
bes towed.
The CHAIRMAN, to restore harmony, said it was in-
viduous to mention names.
Mr. JOHN M'NAMARA, R. W. Kildimo, seconded the
resolution.
Mr. MORRIS proposed that the Reverend Mr. Foley
do leave the chair, and that Michael Potter, Esq., be
called thereto, and that the thanks of this meeting
be given to Mr. Foley, for his proper conduct in the
chair. 1

Rev. Mr. FOLEY, on leaving the chair, again warned
the people assembled, in the most emphatic manner, to
go home soberly and quietly, which they all said they
would ; and we are happy to say they kept their word,
for out of the immense crowd there was not one man ob-
served drunk.
Head-constable O'Malley and the police from the se-
veral district stations were in attendance, but had no
occasion whatever to interfere, as the greatest order and
decorum prevailed.
The Limerick Chronicle, a Tory paper, contains the
following :--" On Thursday last a large assemblage,
chiefly composed of the labouring classes, took place on
the summit of Knockflrinch. This hill is situated to the
southward of the road leading from Croom to Bailin-
garry,:and about mid-way between those towns. As
this meeting was called by means of anonymous notices,
some danger to the peace of the district was apprehended,
and the police, under Inspector Smyth, were on the
ground at an early hour. No disposition to violate the
law, however, was manifested, and the parish priest,
Archdeacou Fitzgerald, having appeared on the ground
about two o'clock, prevailed on the assembled multitude
to adopt with 'perfect unanimity the resolutions which
appear elsewhere in our columns, and which, on the
whole, are characterised by good sense and moderation.
The meeting gave loud cheers for the Queen and Daniel
O'Connell."

RELIEF MEETING IN GALWAY.
GALWAY, SEPT. 12.—Pursuant to a requisition, the
high-sheriff, Lachlan M‘Lachlan, Esq., convened a meet-
ing of his bailiwick at the Town Court-house, yesterday.
The HIGH SHERIFF, on taking the chair, expressed
his sense of the importance of the meeting, and a hope
that the proceedings would be carried on with unanimity
and decorum, so as to ensure due regard to their re-
quests in the proper quarter.
JAMES STEPHENS, Esq., was requested to act as secre-
tary. He produced the Treasury minute, and said he
was sorry that the public works had not been continued
under the lst of Victoria, by which half the expense
would involve on the Government. According to his es-
timate there would be no less a sum than six millions of
money required to feed the people during the ensuing
year, and he for one was an advocate for having the
grain kept in the country, and for applying for public
works on which to employ the people, and thus enable
them to purchase fool. He pointed out the Claddagh
Quay as a most useful project. There were six others of
great utility in the town and country. Mr. Stephens read
a Treasury minute approving of the Claddagh Quay as
an excellent project.
J. IRELAND, Esq., J.P., proposed the first resolution,
calling upon the Laud-Lieutenant to issue a proclama-
tionAiiimisenthleni sessions under the recent statute;
whinfileeing seunuctea-by the Rev. A. 11. MARTYN, P.P.,
