FUNERAL OF LORD MELBOURNE.--The remains
of Lord Melbourne were interred in the family vault at
Hatfield, on Friday. The funeral procession reached
Hatfield at half-past one, at which hour, and during the
progress of the sad ceremonial, the shops in the town
were closed. The melancholy cortege proceeded to the
church in the following order : —Four porters on horse-
back ; the coronet, upon a velvet cushion, borne by a
person on horseback ; the hearse and six, the arms of
the deceased nobleman being emblazoned upon the hearse.
Next followed four mourning carriages, each being
drawn by four horses. In the first of the carriages
were the Earl Cowper, Viscount Palmerston, Viscount
Ashley ; the Hon. W. F. Cowper, the Hon. Spencer Cow-
per, Lord De Mauley, Viscount Ebrington • the Hon.
Charles Howard and Sir J. Birch. In another carriage
were Mr. Thomas, of Hatfield, the deceased nobleman's
medical attendant, and Mr. Cookney, of London, his
Lordship's private solicitor. In the fourth carriage were
his Lordship's housekeeper (who has been in the service
of the family for forty-five years), his steward, and
several other of the upper sservaats. The pall was borne
by twelve of the deceased nobleman's servants, in mourn
ing, and wearing the family badge upon their left arms.
The Rev. F. J. Faithful, the rector, performed the
mournful ceremony. The coffin was covered with purple
velvet, and bore the following inscription :—" The Right
Hon. William Lamb, Viscount Melbourne of Kilmure,
Ireland; Baron Lord of Melbourne and a Baronet of
England. Died Nov. 24, 1848; aged 69 years." Lord
Beauvale, the brother of the deceased nobleman, was
prevented from attending the sad ceremony by severe
indisposition.. The funeral cortege returned in the order
in which it had arrived to Brocket Hall.—Hertford
Mercury.

THE CALAMITOUS FIRE IN GRAZ'S INN-LANE.
Saturday night an inquest was held in the Board-room
of Gray's Inn-lane Workhouse, on the body of Ellen
Thackerry, aged 32 years, who, with her husband,
perished in the fire, 112, Gray's Inn •lano, on Friday
morning. There was no evidence touching the origin of
the fire, but it was shown that the flames increased so
rapidly as to jeopardise the lives of all the inmates. The
jury returned a verdict—" That deceased lost her life
by the fire, but as to its origin there was no evidence
I to show."

The Letters from Ilamburgh and Berlin bring little
news. At Humber& bills upon London continued in
demand, and money was abundant. There was a better
business transacting in the funds and railway shares at
Berlin, and prices were firm. The accounts from Cron-
stadt by this opportunity mention that the weather was
extremely severe, and it was feared the vessels would
scarcely get out before the navigation closed. The trade
of the .Neva was already, stopped,
