711 E L.47'.8 DUCHESS OF KENT'.

Monday next, between 1 and 2 o'clock, are the day and
hour fixed for the interment of the remains cf her late.
Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent. Till then the body
will remain at Frogmore. On the day fixed for the inter-
ment the remains will be removed from Frogmore to Wind-,
sor at 4 o'clock in the morning, and with the strictest pri-
vacy. As the distance from Frogniore to Windsor is little
over a mile, the body will, by this arrangement, be laid in
the Wolsey Chapel, adjoining the Chapel Royal, before
daylight. Here it will remain until the hour fixed for the
funeral ceremony, when the procession will be formed and
the coffin carried into the Chapel Royal, where the service,
for the dead will be read, and sung. The body will then be -
temporarily deposited in the Royal vault, which already
contains the remains of so many of our nation's rulers.
Within a comparatively recent period her late Royal High-
ness ordered the erection of a mausoleum at Frogmore, .
which will be completed within a month from the present •
date. When ready, in compliance with the wishes of th •
illustrious deceased, the body will be privately removed
from the vault of the Chapel Royal, and finally deposited
at Frogmore. The remains, as usual, will be enclosed in
four coffins—two of plain solid mahogany, one of lead, and
an outer case of mahogany and crimson velvet. The two.
inner coffins were sealed down yesterday.

ANOTHER BRUTAL CURLER IN
LIVERPOOL.

The Liverpool Stipendiary Magistrate was occu-
pied yesterday in the investigation of a charge of
murder, preferred against Joaquin Fransisco, a
Brazilian sailor, belonging to the Spanish vesse
Antonio. The deceased's name was also Fransisco,
a Spaniard. In the course of Sunday evening the
prisoner went to the boarding-house kept by
Florentine, in Carpenter's-row, where several other
Spanish sailors lived. On arriving at Florentine's,
the prisoner passed at once into the inner kitchen,
where there were several of the boarders at the
time, and as he went in, he in some way pushed
against the servant girl, who made some
complaint, on which the deceased called
out not to make a noise there as the master
would not allow it. On this the prisoner said it
was none of his (deceased's) business; to which
deceased replied that he would make it his busi-
ness. The prisoner then challenged the deceased
to fight, and the latter saying, " Very well," went
out into the street. Two or three others followed,
and soon afterwards the prisoner came out. With-
out saying a word, he rushed through those who
were standing by, and made a cut at deceased's
neck with something having a white blade, which
was in his hand. Neither the prisoner nor
the deceased had said a. word outside of the
house up to this time. Immediately on being
struck, blood gushed out of the neck of
the deceased in a copious stream, and the
prisoner ran off. The deceased died in less than
ten minutes. It appeared that the prisoner had
boarded in the house of a man named Philip Joseph,
and that this man Joseph was at Florentine's at
the time of the dispute. Suspicion at first fell on
him, and he was seized as the murderer, his wife
being also present. She proceeded home, and in a
short time after her arrival there the prisoner came
in, apparently quite cool and collected, and went up
stairs and changed his shirt, putting theone he had
taken off into the box and locking it. When he
had done this Mrs. Joseph accused him of having
committed the murder of which her husband was
accused, and insisted on his being detained till
her husband was exonerated. The prisoner did not
say anything, and while Mrs. Joseph was endea-
vouring to detain him, a police-officer arrived and
took him into custody. So soon as he say the
officer the prisoner made a violent effort to get
away, and finding that he could not do so, he drew
a knife, and made several attempts to cut the officer
across the abdomen. He was at length over-
powered and secured, but not before he had suc-
ceeded in throwing a razor into the fire. It is with
this instrument that he is supposed to have corn.
mitted the murder. The prisoner was remanded
till to-day, when he will be committed for trial at
the assizes on the charge of wilful murder,

MR. SPURGEON AND THE " SATURDAY REVIEW'
--In a speech addressed to a meeting of the Aberdeen
Young Men's Christian Association, on Wednesday, Mr.
Spurgeon said—" I remember, in the streets of Londoin,
man took off his hat and bowed to me—' The Rev. Mr.
Spurgeon—a great humbug.' I took off my hat too, and
said—' I am obliged to you, Sir, that I am a great any-
thing; I an afraid you are great at nothing.' (Much
laughter and applause.) We passed on, parting very ami-
cably. I have not had the pleasure of meeting him since,
but I felt highly flattered that day. (Laughter.) One
thing I always like to have—the hatred of the Saturday
Review, and the love of God. (Applause and laughter.)
No movement can ever hope to be established as a good
movement until it has had both. When it has both then it
is all right. When you have the hatred of the Saturday
Review, you may be quite sure it is according to the mind
of Ged. Ido not know how it is that that magazine has
attained to such precision of judgment that it never makes
a mistake at all." (Laughter.)
