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
much-lamented nobleman died at Malshangcr, near
Basingstoke, but his body was removed on the morn-
ing of the fueeral to within a few miles of the church
of Winkfield, in Berkshire, to be deposited in the vaule
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 suc-
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
1 mei attendants did not assemble, as under other circumsi
stances they would belie done at Fern-hill, but at Hill-
house, the residence of his Lordship's nephew, Sir Hes-
keih Fleetwood. Hill-house is also in the parish of
Winkfield. The obsequies of the deceased peer were
conducted in a manner quite becoming his high rank
and the great le rsonal 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
Metcalfe, Mr. Brownrigg, M.P., Sir Hesketh Fleetwood,
Bart., Messrs. Martin, 13rownrigg, jun., Smythe, Howell,
Ste. The private carriages of several noblemen and
gentlemen followed the mourning coaches; amongst the
latter we noticed that of Lord Ashbrmike, the brother-in-
law of the deceased. It is understood that Mr. Brown-
r;gg has been appointed Lard Metcalfe's executor, and
twat 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 inure than twenty sears ago.
ASSASSINATION OF A "REVENUE OFFICER AT Bo-
LOGNA.—A letter from Bologna states, that the son-
feditti 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. Ihe crime was scarcely perpetrated when the son-
fedist who were anxiously awaiting the result in the
streets e: Faenza, I),,gan to cry out, "Behold the fruits
of the amnesty !" Happily the victim of this cowardly
act bad still life enough Idt before expiring to denounce
his murderers, and the motives of their act. They wished
to impute the ant to the effects of the amnesty. His
statement was taken down and sworn to by seventeen
witnesses. The whole populltion of Faenza, without
distinction, followed the murdered man to I-is grave;
the funeral was on a ma2nificent scale. Public opinion,
also, points out the suifedi,ti as the murderers of the
Swiss Colonel who was assassinated on the public square
of Forli a few days previous to the above mentioned
murder. .

DUMBLANr:DREADFUL DEATH —A young lad,
named Robertson, employed at the vinegar-works in the
Miltown of Aberfoy le, lost his balance. and fell into one
of the boilers full of boiling liquid, about mid-day on
Wednesday week. No assistance being near when the
accident happened. the unfortunate youth managed to
get out himself, and gave the alarm. -Ile was imme-
diately carried home and medically attended, when it
was found that every part of hi body was burned except
his head and left ann. Ile lingered on, in great agony,
until the afternoon of Friday last, when death released
him from his suffering.
OFFICIAL PROMOTION.—The Commissioners of the
Customs Department having had limier their notice
the reports made from time to time by the nrineieal
officers of the several departments. submitting tfie'names
of officers and clerks for promotion on vscancies, ;:ave
considered it expedient to promulgste an order, impress-,
ing upon the principals that it. is t! eir duty in such re-
ports to bring prominently rind, r the notice o,' the Board
all the circutn*aances affecting the character and con-
duct of the parties, vdeth,r such circuit stances may
have been recorded in the annual rear 1 s cif capacity
and character or not ; and the Board have desired rt
t• be distinctly undtTstiod by the whole .4 the
(,mployees throughout, the slepartmentA in the Unit,-..d
Kingdom. in the service of the Crown, that hence--
forth any transaction of a tliscredita b., nature, reuniary
embarrassment, neglect of duty, or otler misconduct,
will be held by the Commissioners sutiolent to justify
them in withholding promotion from officers or clerks"
even in the lower grades of the servic in which promo-
tion has usually proceeded by seniority, unless it shall
be made evident to the Board that such parties have, by
continued good conduct and ircreased zeal and activity
in the discharge of their duties, subsequently entitled
themselves to favourable consideration. rids order has
been communicated to the heads of the department in
London and throughout the United Kngdom, for their
government in this matter, and for the information of
the several officers mulct their survey.
Tax HAEVEST.—The fields within six miles of
Edinburgh may be described as c'eared. The general
cs.mplsint is lightness of return—corn as well as straw;
and, as a necessary consequence, markets are rising.
Wheat in Edinburgh market brought from 4s. to ss. per
quarter more money on Wednesday than on the previous
market-day; and oats and barley r,?alised an equal ad-
vance. Strange as it may seem after the many state-
ments as to the total failure of the potato crop, 41. per
acre and upwards have been obtained by public roup for
some fields; but unless to feed pigs we do not see to
what use the product can be turned, her it is seldom that
one good potato in twenty is turned up. Great fears are
entertained of the soundness of turnips. Around Edin-
burgh this crop still Maintains a healthy appearance;
but from East Lothian there are some very unfavourable
accounts.—Scotsman.
MALES AND FEMALES BATHING AT NEWPORT
UNITED STATES.—A correspondent of the Boston
Transcript writes thus from Newport on the subject of
bathing :—" I had my prejudices
.against the custom of
Leith sexes bathing together, Lut on; seeing the fun at
Newport, my antipathy against the fashion was much
removed. The sight is picturesque, certainly.
Fancy an encampment of ludiarts, or rather Gip-
seys, divested of the billing pot, and you have the
scene previous to immersion. You cannot tell
the gentlemel from the ladies ; and, in fact, it
is difficult to distinguish tire members 'Of" four own
family. The gents wear red flannel tunics, duck pants,
and straw hats; the ladies tunics and pantalettes of the
same colour, with white collars and wristbands, and
straw hats Om There are as many as 150 bathing
houses. Yon enter on one side, and go on to the beach
fro:n the other, all equipped to act the part of
.sea
nymphs, or aught else that might seem art appropriato
chataCterc ineally very ex, Lag to behold OA DAL!'
