FUNERAL OF LORD DERBY.

LIVERPOOL, Friday.
The remains of the late Earl of Derby were con-
signed to-day to their last resting-place in Knows-
ley church. The funeral procession left the Hall
at noon ; and, with rigid adherence to the ex-
pressed wish of the noble ear!, was marked by the
absenso of all pomp and ceremony equal to the
greatness of the deceased nobleman. The funeral
cortege consisted only of the hearse, eight carriages
containing the relatives, and some eighty of the
principal servants. Inside the church the arrange-
ments were of the same simple character. The
family chapel, the pulpit, communion table, and the
pews had been draped in black. The body of the late
earl was enclosed in three coffins ; that in which
the body is placed is of oak ; this is enclosed in a
strong leaden one, with the inscription, in letters of
the same metal—

The Fourteenth Earl of Derby,
Born March 29, 1799,
Died October 23, 1869.

This is again enclosed in another oaken shell,
covered with crimson satin, with gilt designs of
the coronet and a reversed torch, and on which is
a fuller inscription than that upon the leaden coffin.

CEN7RAL CRIMINAL COURT—(7his Day)•

SENDING A THREATENING LETTER.

Arthur Brown was indicted for sending a
threatening letter to Mr. Arnold, the magistrate at
the Westminster Police-court.

It will be recollected that the prisoner was
placed before Mr. Arnald charged with being
concerned in a disturbance that took place
at Cremorue Gardens, and after a very
lengthened examination the magistrate fined
him £l5 and costs. Some time after this
Mr. Arnold received a number of letters informing
that he had been the cause of a young man losing
a good situation, and that it was intended to have
revenge for the severity of the sentence ha inflicted.
One of the letters desired that some recompense
might be made, otherwise his life would be en-
dangered. The prisoner was ultimately taken into
custody, charged with the offence, and finally com-
mitted for trial.

In his defence the prisoner denied that he was the
writer of the letter.

Robert Laing was indicted for embezzling two
sums of money, the property of John Stuart
Crosbie.

The prisoner was a canvasser in the employ of
the prosecutor, and the money in question was re-
ceived by him for Mr. Crosbie, but never properly
paid over. The trial of the first indictment took
place a day or two ago, and resulted in an acquit-
tal. In meeting the present indictment the prisoner
made an able address to the jury, denying the
charge made against him.
In neither of the above cases had the jury re-
turned a verdict.

An interesting trial of sewing machines lately
took place at London, Canada, in the presence of his Royal
Highness Prince Arthur. The result was given in a de-
spatch to the London house of Elias Howe, 64, Regent-
street, by Mr. L. C. Mendon, the manager in Canada West.
It appears that that house received the first prize at the
provincial exhibition for family and manufacturing ma-
chines. The contest lasted eight hours, and the Howe
machine proved victorious.

Yesterday morning the Admiralty telegraphed to
Chatham dockyard that the storm drum should be
hoisted, to warn outward-bound vessels that wet
weather was expected. During the day a strong
wind blew from the north-west ; the day was very
cold, though bright, and in the afternoon some
snow fell.

The Fisgard, late flagship of Admiral Dimon-
stone at Woolwich, is ordered to be paid off on the
Ist of November, and tecommissioned the next day
with a reduced complement of men. Ifer Marines
will consist of one sergeant, two corporals, and 20
• light infantry.
