DEATH OF LORD FONEONBY.

Lord Ponsonby, Baron Ponsonby, of Imokilly,
in the peerage of the United Kingdom, died at Ply-
mouth on Monday. He was on a visit to the port
in his yawl yacht, the Lufra, 205 tons register,
Pearce, master, on board of which his lordship died
as she lay moored in the inner basin of the Great
Western Docks. lie was formerly an officer in the
British army, but had retired from the service seve-
ral years ago. For some years past he had been
more or less an invalid, suffering from disease of the
kidneys, which ultimately terminated in the affection
known to the medical profession as Bright's disease,
from which he died. During the past summer, in
order if possible to recruit his health, his lordship
took a long cruise in the Lufra in the Mediterranean,
and on his return was somewhat better. The Lufra
took part in the recent ocean race from Ryde to
Plymouth, and was present at the Plymouth Re-
gatta of this year, in the sports of which his lord-
ship took a lively interest. Subsequently she visited
some other of the western regattas, and then re-
turned and moored in Plymouth Sound, lying inside
Drake's Island. On the sth inst., his lordship's ill-
ness increasing, Mr. Whipple, surgeon, of Plymouth,
was called in, but Lord Ponsonby was then in a
sinking state, and continued rapidly to get worse.
On Friday last, on account of the rough weather,
it was found desirable to move the Lufra into the
Great Western Docks, and she was towed into the
floating basin by a steam tug. His lordship was
attended during his last few days by Sir Henry
Edwards, an intimate friend, who had been cruising
with him. Lord Ponsonby was never married, nor
has he any brothers living ; the peerage, therefore,
becomes extinct. His lordship has, however, a sister
living, at present residing on the Continent. The
body of the deceased nobleman was enclosed in a
leaden and an outer coffin, and the Luffra left Ply-
mouth with it on Wednesday morning for Yen tnor,
in the Isle of Wight, in the churchyard of which
a sister of Lord Ponsonby is interred. The late
William Brabazou Ponsonby, Baron Ponsonby, of
Imokilly, county Cork, in the peerage of the United
Kingdom, was the only son of the Hon. and Right
Rev. Richard Ponsonby, D.D., Lord Bishop of
Derry, by Frances, daughter of the Right Hon.
John Staples. He was born 18th August, 1807,
and succeeded his cousin, the third lord, 2d Octo-
ber, 1861.

The Royal yacht Osborne, Commander D'Arcy,
returned to Portsmouth harbour yesterday, after
having conveyed the Lords of the Admiralty on their
recent visit of inspection.

The Swallow, screw sloop, Master-Commander
Wildes, employed in the surveying service, arrived
at Spithead yesterday from China and Japan. She
brought a few naval invalid;, and is expected to pro-
ceed to Sheerness to be paid off, having been up-
wards of five years in commission.
The Endymion, 21, screw frigate, 2,486 tons, 500
horse power, a new wooden ship, which has for seve-
ral months past been finishing her fittings and pre-
paring for commission in the large basin of Sheer-
ness dockyard, was yesterday taken into the Med-
way, where she got up steam and was taken beyond
the Nore light for a preliminary run. The trial was
made under the superintendence of the factory of-
ficials, and was made for the purpose chiefly of
testing the starting and stopping powers of the
engines. In the evening she returned to the har-
bour, where she will be anchored till the arrange-
ments are completed for her official trial of speed,
which is expected to take place in a few days.
The Rodney, 78, screw ship, 2,770 tons, 500-
horse power, is still in No. 3 dock in Sheerness
dockyard. A large number of calkers are engaged
in scraping and repairing her bottom, and the ship-
wrights are busily engaged in making the necessary
alterations to fit her for the China station.

The Charybdis, 17, screw corvette, 1,509 tons,
400-horse power, in No. 2 dock at Sheerness, has a
large number of shipwrights employed on her, who
are hastening her completion with all possible speed.
A new forecastle has been added to her, which is
now almost finished, and it is expected the ship will
be sufficiently advanced to be taken into the basin
in a few days.

200-horse power, in the large basin in Sheerness
dockyard, has completed her repairs and alterations,

and 68th Regiments of Infantry. After the march
past in review order a ,few field manoeuvres were
carried out, ten rounds of blank cartridge being
supplied to each man, at the conclusion of which
the troops returned to their respective quarters.

The following appointments have been made at
London, England, 1866-09-14

Death of Geneial Mouravieff.

The death of General Mouravieff, so unpleasantly
notorious in connexion with the suppression of the
last Polish insurrection, has been reported by tele-
graph. It appears that he died of apoplexy, at his
country house, near St. Petersburg, on Tuesday
morning. The deceased was a member of an old
Russian family, and was born at Moscow in 1793.
He entered the military service in 1810, and was for
some time attached to the staff of the army of the
Caucasus. In 1819 he was entrusted by General
Jermoloff with a mission to the Shah of Persia, at
Xhiva, the particulars of which he has himself re-
corded in a pamphlet. Being promoted to the rank
of major-general during the war with Persia, he
distinguished himself before Kars in 1818, and before
Kabla in 1829. In 1830 he actively served in the
war with Poland, contributing greatly to the victory
of Kazimiez, where his gallantry procured for him
the grade of lieutenant-general. Ile commanded
the right wing of the army at the capture of Warsaw,
and was entrusted in 1832 with the negociation for
the suspension of hostilities with Mehemet Ali, Vice-
roy of Egypt, when he received the command of the
troops of the Bosphorus, and in 1835 that of the
sth corps of infantry. In 1838 he fell into disgrace
with the Czar, owing to certain disorders which had
broken out in his corps, and for having neglected the
care of the defence of Sebastopol. In 1848 he was
reinstated in his military position, and became mem-
ber of the council of war and commander of the
grenadiers of the guards. In 1854, on the outbreak
of the Crimean war, he was appointed to the com-
mand of the army in Asia, and after a severe repulse
by Sir W. F. 'Williams, before Kars, succeeded even-
tually in occupying that place on the latter evacua-
ting it and surrendering as a prisoner of war. At
the peace he took the command of the army of the
Caucasus, where his operations resulted in breaking
the power of Schamyl, who surrendered to one of
his officers in 1859. The family of Mouravieff has
greatly distinguished itself. One of his brothers is
an engineer of reputation, another an eminent author
and traveller, and his cousin, also a lieut.-general in
the Russian service, has been since 1848 governor
of Eastern Siberia, during which time, by his energy
and skill, he has opened to Russian enterprise the
river of Amor, and added to the empire the pro-
vinces on its banks.

ELECTION OF A RECTOR.

The Court then proceeded with the election of a rector
for the parish of St. Peter-upon-Cornhill. There were
orignaliy eight candidates for this office, four of whom now
attended, but upon a show of•hands these four were reduced
to two—the Rev. T. Grose, M.A., of Clare-hall, Cambridge,
curate of the parish of St. Peter's, Cornhill, and the Rev. R.
Whittington, M.A., of Trinity College, Cambridge, one
of the Masters of Merchant Taylors School, and Evening
Lecturer at St. Peter-upon-Cornhill. Upon another show
of hands the former of the two gentlemen was elected by
a large majority, and amid loud applause.
The Rev. Mr. GROSE, in returning thanks, said he was a
citizen of London and a Churchman. The corporation had
elected him to fill the vacant benefice of St. Peter's, Corn-
hill, under a feeling that he would discharge his duty reli-
giously and honestly. He trusted he should have the grace
to do so. Whatever differences of theological opinion that
exist in such an assembly as he then addressed, one thing
they all demanded, that he should be an honest and con-
scientious person, and this he believed himself to be.

PROVIDENCE ROW NIGHT REFUGE,
FOR
HOMELESS WOMEN AND CHILDREN,
14A, Providence-row, Finsbury, E.C.
Sixty Thousand Nights' Lodgings, with Suppers and
Breakfasts, have been given in this Institution to the
destitute, who otherwise would have had to pass the
nights in the bleak streets or under railway arches.
At present nearly 500 Nights' Lodgings, with Suppers and
Breakfasts, are given gratuitously every week. The poor
from all parts are admitted, the only condition being that
they are homeless and starving. The Manager, &c.,
receives no remuneration whatever. Notwithstand-
ing the provision made by the Poor Houses, each
night numbers of young women, children, and orphans
aro, for want accommodation, refused admittance, and have
to spend night after night in the cold, wet, and sleet. To
meet this evil, and to provide more ample accommoda-
tion, £2,000 has been raised, but to accomplish the
work a sum of at least £l,OOO more will 1-,e required.
Besides providing shelter for the homeless, this year it
is proposed, as far as the donations obtained for the pur-
pose will allow, to give bread and coals to poor families
in want. Will you, in your charity, help to carry on and
accomplish what has been begun ? Will you help to give
shelter to the really homeless, and food to the really
starving? The smallest donation will be most welcome,
and, night and morning, the prayers of the destitute will
be offered in your behalf.

down the shaft of a sunbeam from heaven,
bringing to her the laurel crown and the
palm branch, beckons her to the mansions of bliss.
The careful manner in which the whole of the four
principal acts of the tragedy have been placed once
more upon the stage reflects the highest honour
upon Mr. Vining's management. The appoint-
ments, dresses, scenery, and in many respects also
the very cast of the other parts in the play, are en-
titled to what they won for themselves last night—
the highest approbation. The Buckingham of.
Mr. Mead was excellent while, as to the
Anne Buller of Miss Chapman and the Cromwell
of Mr. J. F. Cathcart, they have made the tour of
the world during the last three years, is company
with the Cardinal Wolsey and Queen Katherine of
Mr. and Mrs. Charles Kean themselves, receiving
approbation in many remote places, in places as
remote as Australia and California. Summoned
before the curtain by one unanimous outcry for
them by name, again and again reiterated, Mr. and
Mrs. Charles Kean were overwhelmed with
plaudits and pelted with flowers, in token
of the triumph they had yet once more
achieved upon that old familiar stage
for them, the stage of the Princess's. After their re-
tirement again behind the scenes, Mr. Kean was
summoned yet once more by name before the foot-
lights, when, upon obeying that fresh summons, he
addressed his audience with an emotion that was
contagious by reason of its evident sincerity in the
following graceful and effective terms:—

"Lathe; and Gentlemen,—l would fain say a few words,
but my emotion quite overpowers me. During our three
years' absence we have travelled thousands of miles by
land and by sea, and have been exposed to many dangers ;
but in storm or sunshine, in the hour of peril or in the day
of success, one thought was always present to my wifeand
myself, and that thought was home—home the residence
of the heart. With the blessing of Providence we are
again in England, on the very spot of my past and well-
loved labours, surrounded by kind and dear friends, whose
affectionate greeting makes us indeed feel that we are once
more at home."

Interrupted more than once during the delivery of
even these few words by the hearty cheers of his
audience, Mr. Charles Kean, with the utterance of
that last affecting monosyllable of " home," brought
to a most happy conclusion the first night of his
new triumph, and his accomplished wife's new
triumph here amongst us, on their return (in truth)
home—on their return to England, to London, and
to the Princess's.

Court of Common Council.

Yesterday a meeting of the Common Council was
held at Guildhall.
PRINCE ALFRED AND THE CORPORATION.

The LORD MAYOR, who occupied the chair, said
he had the honour to inform the court that since
their last meeting he had the pleasure of an inter-
view with Prince Alfred, at which he stated to his
royal highness that the court was prepared to con-
fer upon him the freedom of the city, to which he
was entitled by patrimony ; that the Prince bad re-
ceived him in the most graceful and courteous man-
ner, and had been pleased to fix the 7th of June, at
one o'clock, for the ceremony.
This announcement was hailed with cheers, and
Mr. SAUNDERS, chairman of the city lands com-
mittee, moved that it be referred to them to put
themselves in communication with the Lord Mayor
with the view to make arrangements for the suitable
reception of his royal highness.
Mr. Deputy CIIAPLIN inquired what the probable
expense incident to the ceremony might be.
The Chairman of the city lands committee replied
that they would not spend more than was necessary
but they would take care at such a time to uphold,
the honour and prestige of the corporation on the
occasion.
A discussion ensued upon the motion, but it was
conducted with closed doors.
The motion was eventually carried, and it was
left to the City lands committee to make the neces-
sary arrangements.

A SHAKESPEARIAN RELIC.—A rare Shakespearian
volume occurred in a sale at Messrs. Puttick and

quired by the tenantry of Ireland, and that, so far as the
province of Ulster was concerned, the farmers would be
indignant at having it thrust upon them in lieu of the
custom of tenant-right. The bill was, he believed, one of
the three measures indicated by Mr. Bright in his letter to
the Lord Mayor of Dublin, which were to receive the sup-
port of the English Liberals in return for Irish votes in
favour of the Reform Bill. The three measures were the
alteration of the National System of Education, the demoli-
tion of the Irish Church, and the introduction of Tenant
Right.
Mr. SANDERSON was prepared to vote for the second
reading, but indicated certain amendment; of which he
considered the bill susceptible, in committee.
Mr. SYNAN accepted the measure as a fair settlement
of the question, which would bind the two countries toge-
ther by the strongest ties of mutual interest.

Sir F. HEYGATE believed that the first effect of the
measure, if passed into law, would be to deter landlords
from the improvement of their property, and that it would
produce no real benefit to the country.
After some observations from Mr. EVIONDE, delivered
amid indications of general impatience,
Mr. BAGWELL moved the adjournment of the :debate,
which, on a division, was carried by 167 to 154. Monday
was then fixed for the resumption of the discussion.

A subsequent attempt was made to adjourn the debate
on the motion for the second reading of the Customs In-
land Revenue Bill, which was defeated by 120 to 101.
Mr. DISRAELI took exception to the manner in which
the public business was conducted, and complained that a
measure of such importance as the Customs and inland
Revenue Bill should be forced on at nearly one o'clock in
the morning.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER ultimately
gave way, and the second reading was fixed for this day.
The Labouring Classes Dwellings (Ireland) Bill was
passed through committee.
A number of other bills were advanced a stage, and the
house adjourned at 15 minutes past one o'clock.
