appeal was made not only to those who would
generously subscribe to the fund without a hope
of sharing in its advantages, but to the trade itself, who by
their subscriptions would secure a benefit which they could
receive without shame or a sense of degradation. As mem-
bers or distributors of that general intelligence which had
now become a public necessity in this country, he called on
them to subscribe to this commendable and excellent insti-
tution. Mr. Terry, one of the founders of the institution,
returned thanks on its behalf, and gave instances of the
benefits which it had been the means of conferring on the
families of members who during their lifetime had little
supposed that they would have occasion for its aid. The
subscriptions amounted to a very considerable sum.
FUNERAL OF A ROMAN PRINCE.—The funeral of
Prince Rospigliosi, as it seems to belong to another cen-
tury and a bygone order of things, will, doubtless, be the
last of its kind, and therefore merits description. By an
exclusive privilege claimed by Roman princes, he was taken
to his last resting-place in his state carriage, gaily decked
and newly painted for the occasion.. The funeral was cele-
, orated at the Church of San Francesco a Rippa, where the
family vault of the Rospigliosi is situated. The last observ-
ance of the ceremony was the most curious of all. The head
cook, in his costume of cirque cento, advanced respectfully
to the foot of the bier, and, bowing to tho ground, asked the
usual morning question, "Your Excellency has orders for
me f" The inquiry was made with an expressive smile and
a distinctnesss of utterance which almost shook the nerves
of the bystanders. The dead man, however, not betraying
by word or gesture any comprehension of the question, the
great functionary of the Rospigliosi household, after wait-
ing patiently for a few moments, withdrew, walking
back-
wards to the door of the church, and, standing in thepceh
