THE LATE LORD LLANOVER.

The funeral of the late Lord Llanover (Sir B.
Hall) took place at Llanover a few days ago. It
was conducted with the greatest privacy. In 1861,
when he was in good health, Lord Llanover wrote
the following instructions :—" My funeral to be as
plain and inexpensive as possible. My body to be
carried by such of my tenants and labourers as
may be selected for the purpose, and who may
desire to bear it. The pall-bearers to be agents,
tenants. NO hatbands or scarfs to be used
by anybody, no burial carriages, no hired
people, no parade of volunteers. Welsh hymns to
be sung at intervals, from the time the body is car-
ried out of the house until it is deposited in its last
resting place." He also desired that " there might
not be any apprehension as to the conduct of those
who survive me in regard to my funeral, the above
directions may be fully kuown." And his con-
cluding words were as follow :—" Our good
Queen gave to her subjects an example which
they will do well to follow, when her aunt, the
Duchess of Gloucester, died, and when her excel-
lent mother, the Duchess of Kent, died,—the fune-
rals of these illustrious personages were conducted
as privately as possible. Why should we, her sub-
jects, contemplate funeral splendour ? The pomp of
a funeral is an additional trial to those who love the
deceased ; it detracts from those thoughts that
should be directed to heaven, and not to the vanities
of the world." When he gave up all expectations
of recovery, he sent to Llanover for papers, with
directions which had been written long before, and
amongst which was the following inscription in
his own hand, to be engraved on the brass plate for
his coffin, and to which he added in London the last
text :—" Benjamin Hall, of Llanover and Abercarn;
Lord Llanover, lord lieutenant of Monmouthshire,
and a Privy Councillor. Eldest son of Benjamin
Hall, Esq., M.P. for the county of Glamorgan. Born
November 8, 1802. Died on Saturday, April 27,
1867." "Ni bydd medw yn doagywgdd." (" We
shall not die for ever.") " F sydd yn wir yn sail y
pethan yn ydgs yn eu goberthes a sicowgdd y pethan
ind ydgs cagwded." (" Faith is the substance of
things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.")
Lord Llanover had mentioned in his written direc-
tions that the coffin was to be made by his own
carpenter at Llanover, of " English oak or oak
grown in Wales ;" and he had the oak for this pur-
pose put aside by his carpenter to be preserved.

PROCESSION OF BOATS ATPUTNEY.-0n Saturday
the London clubs mustered strongly at Putney on the
occasion of the annual procession, which, combined with
the steamers accompanying and the quantity of bunting
about, created a very pleasing effect, and would have been
more attractive but for the very unfavourable nature of
the weather. Mr. Herbert Playford, of the London Row-
ing Club, was commodore, and was rowed in ono of the 12
oared cutters belonging to his club by the captains of the
12 principal clubs in the procession, which consiste
rowed

City, Undine, and Leather Bottle. Behind these came
various boats from the above and other clubs,

Never Neglect a Cold. -It is painful to hear of the many
fatal cases which commenced with the ordinary symptoms
of a common cold. Holloway's Ointment rubbed Upon tho
back and chest prevents all disastrous consequences ; it
sooths the inflamed lining of both throat and chest. After
rubbing in the ointment for a few days, the pectoral irrita-
tion and the tightness of breathing diminish, the cough
becomes looser and less frequent, and the phlegm is ex-
pectorated with less difficulty, till the lungs become free
and respiration natural. All subject to take

way's soothing Ointment and purifying Pills en effective
safeguard against pleurisy, bronchitis, asthma, and con-
sumption.
