FUNERAL OF THE REV, JOHN KEBLE.

The obsequies of the venerable author of the
" Christian Year " took place yesterday at Hursley,
near Winchester. There was a celebration of the
Holy Communion at eight o'clock a.m., which was
very numerously attended. The usual daily ser-
vice was at 11.30, and the funeral service followed.
The lectern, pulpit, chancel, and the vacant stall of
the deceased were hung with black. The solemn
office was most impressively intoned by the Rev.
J. W. Richards, and the lessons were read by the
Rev. F. 11. Fincher, both of these gentlemen being
curates of Hursley. The body was conveyed from
Bournemouth on the d.ty previously, and placed in
the chancel of that church in which for nearly forty
years he has ministered. The coffin was covered
with a pall of violet-coloured cloth, on which was
worked a large red cross, and this was supported
from the chancel to the grave by six of the former
curates of the deceased. Long before the service
commenced the church was crowded by all classes of
people from far and near, anxious to pay
a last tribute of respect to the memory of
the much-beloved deceased. Amongst those present
were Dr. Trench, Archbishop of Dublin, Dr. Ilamil-
ton, Bishop of Salisbury, Dr. Forbes, Bishop of
Brechin, Earl Nelson, Dr. Hook, Dean of Chiches-
ter, the aged and beloved Dean of Winchester (now
in his 91st year), Dr. Pusey, Sir Wm. Heathcote,
thuerky
membera for Oxford University, whose seat is
Park, Dr. Moberly, the Archdeacon of
Winchester, Rev. C. J. Le Geyt, Rev. C. Gutch,
and about 100 other clergymen from various parts
of this and the neighbouring counties. The coffin
was followed by the relatives of the deceased, and
it was lowered into the gray e amidst the tears of a
multitude of mourners.

The coffin is of polished oak, on the upper half of
the lid of which is a large gilt cross, and on its
lower part, over the feet, a brass plate, bearing the
inscription :
JOANNES KEBLE, Mart. Die axis.
A. S. MOCCCLXVI, .ZE tat 74.._
In Jesu obdormivit. -

Dr. Pusey, it is said, will preach the funeral ser-
mon on Sunday morning at Hursley.
Mrs. Keble was not at liursley, being severely ill
at Bournemouth, where Mr. Keble died. Indeed,
these is too much reason to fear that his own death
was hastened by the assiduous attention he has paid
for some weeks past to his afflicted wife.

Atlantic Te egTaph Banquet.

...-..--..4...

A grand farewell banquet was given at the Palace
Hotel, on Thursday evening last, by CYRUS W.
FIELD, Esq., the originator of the Atlantic Tele-
graph, to his personal friends in London, pre-
vious to his departure to America. Mr. FIELD,
whose efforts in connection with the Atlantic Tele-
graph have become of world-wide fame, received as
his guests on this occasion about one hundred noble-
men and gentlemen, all of whom were distin-
guished in some department of statesmanship,
science, literature, or art. Among the best
known of the company present were—His Ex-
cellency the American Ambassador at this Court,
the. Earl of Caithness; Sir Charles Bright, famous
in • connection with the Indian cable ; Professor
Thomson, Professor Varley, Capt. Anderson, com-
mander of the Great Eastern ; Rev. Newman Hall,
LL.B.; Payton Wright, Esq., inventor of the external
portion of the new Atlantic Telegraph.
The large dining-hall of the Palace Hotel was
appropriately decorated with English and American
flags.
After the removal of the cloth, Mr. FIELD ex-
pressed in a happy manner the pride and gratifica-
tion it afforded him to meet so many distinguished
gentlemen and personal friends on that occasion.
He was sure that all would join him most heartily
in drinking the first toast of the evening, the health
of her Majesty Queen Victoria, the Prince and
Princess of Wales, and the Royal Family. This
sentiment was drank with great cordiality.
Mr. FIELD then proposed the health of one whom
he felt convinced all in that company respected and
honoured, a man who had risen from the very
humblest position to be the Chief Magistrate of one
of the foremost nations of the earth. He offered
the health of Andrew Johnson, President of the
United States. This toast was received with ap-
plause and cheers.
The third toast of the evening, Mr. FIELD said,
was one to which they could all respond with
peculiar pleasure. They were honoured with the
presence of a statesman who was respected alike in
England and the United States, and whose official
action, in a time of great delicacy and anxiety, had
done much to preserve peace and promote friend-
lE:EglxacnedlleanncdyAthneleArinacae.ricialnemprionpisotsed
tshheiph betweenealth of
(Loud applause, and three times three for the
American Minister.)
Mr. ADDIS said that when he received the in-
vitation to attend this_banquet he accepted it on
the condition that he should not be required to
make a speech. But he felt constrained to express
his gratitude and thanks for the very complimentary
manner in which he had been referred to. They
were there, he said, to receive the hospitality of a
gentleman whose name was identified with one of
the greatest undertakings of the age. There had
been a time, within the past five years, when the
successful completion of the Atlantic Telegraph
would have been to him an anxiety. There had been
a time when his sleep was disturbed, and his rest
broken by the reception of telegrams from all parts
of Great Britain, and if they had been able at that
time to have sent them from the other side of the
Atlantic, he supposed he would have had no rest at all.
Indeed only last year he was fearful that the com-
pletion of the Atlantic Telegraph would only in-
crease his official cares and anxieties. But now
that was all past and gone. He was on the side of
the Telegraph, and felt he could sleep quietly even
after its completion, for he felt sure that it would be
a readier and more rapid means of convey-
ing sentiments of peace and goodwill between this
country and that which he had the honour to repre-
sent. Mr. Adams resumed his seat amidst loud ap-
plause.
The fourth toast of the evening was " The Army
and Navy of Great Britain," in connection with the
names of two gentlemen who had honoured the
company with their presence—Admiral Richards,
R.N., and Mr. Romaine.
Mr. Romaine briefly responded on behalf of the
Admiralty, and was followed by Admiral Richards
in an exceedingly happy and amusing speech.

Mr. FIELD then proposed the fifth toast, " Pros-
perity to England," coupling with it the name of
a distinguished member of the British House of
Lords, the Earl of Caithness, and a no less distin-
guished commoner, Mr. Watkin, M.P.
His Lordship the Earl of Caithness addressed
the assembly at considerable length, passing a high
encomium upon the American Minister, than whom
no man in England was more respected, and com-
plimenting their worthy host on the faith and
steadfastness with which he had prosecuted the
great and important enterprise with which his name
would always be identified.
Mr. FIELD, on rising to propose the next toast,
said—There was present on that occasion the f
aiinsd-
torian of the last Atlantic Telegraph, a scholar _e
a gentleman well known to all in that

'The Press " was honoured with the usual
acknowledgment, when speeches were made succes-
sively by Captain Anderson, of the Great Eastern,
Professor Varley, Mr. Clifford, and several other
professional and scientific gentlemen. All the
speakers were of opinion that the next attempt to
lay the cable must be crowned with success, and that
the cable now lying at the bottom of the Atlantic
would be recovered without difficulty.

LORD HOUGHTON will take the chair at the anni-
versary dinner of the Royal Literary Fund, at Willis's-
rooms, King-street, St. James's, on the 2d of May.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day.

MARLBORO 11-S TREE T.
CRUEL CONDUCT TO A WIFE. —Patrick Tarpcy, a tailor,
residing in Carnaby-street, R.Tent-street, was brought
before Mr. Knox, on a warrant by nosekelly, one of the
warrant officers, charged with assaulting his wife, Bridget
Tarpey.

The wife, who had a bad eye, said that on Thursday her
husband; who when drunk was a man of the niost violent
temper, assaulted her and blackened her eye.
In answer to Mr. Knox, the wife said she had been
marrieleight years that day to the prisoner, and had four
children.

Rosekelly said that when he apprehended the prisoner
yesterday ho was drunk and very violent, and he was
obliged to get another constable to assist him. The pri-
soner tripped the other constable up, and it was with the
greatest difficulty that he succeeded in getting the prisoner
to the station. The landlord of the house told hint the
prisoner would be the death of his wife, and only a few
minutes before he (Rosekelly) took the prisoner intocus-
tody, ho having a large pair of shears in his hand at the
time, threatened to rip his wife up, and at tho station
threatened to do for him (Rosekelly); some time or other.
The prisoner had suffered one month for an assault on a
constable. _

in answer to Mr. Knox, the officer said he believed it
was all through drink.

Mr. Knox, after remarking on the prisoner's conduct,
said that it was only for the wife's sake that he should
deal with him as leniently as he was going to do, as he did
not wish to cause her utter ruin. He should commit the
prisoner for a month with hard labour, and hoped that
would be a lesson to him.
