DISGRACEFUL SCENE AT A FUNERAL.

On Wednesday evening a very disgraceful affair
occurred at Lewes, on the occasion of the interment
of Miss Scobell (3 daughter of the Rev. John
Scobell, the rector of All Saints), who had for some
months previous to her death been living at Sack-
vine College, East Grinstead, where she died. The
remains of the young lady were brought from the
college to the Lewes station by train, about half-
past five o'clock in the evening, accompanied by
the chief warden of the college (the Rev. Mr. Neale)
and seven or eight of the ladies of the sisterhood.
When the coffin, which was a ♦ery elegant one,
covered with a large pall, having a cross upon it,
was taken out of the train, a number of the inhabi-
tants of the town collected, and followed the proces-
sion to All Saints Church, the rector and his family
having joined as it passed Lansdowne-terrace. The
church was crowded, and the burial service was read
by the Rev. Mr. Hutcheson, of Firle. The proies-
sion then moved round the church to Mr. ScobelL's
family vault. At the close of the service, one of the
sisters attempted to place a garland upon the coffin,
and Mr. Neale was about to commence to read
some other service, when• Mr. Hutcheson objected,
and said it would not be allowed. Mr. Sco-
bell also said that be did not wish to have any
service performed over the remains of his daugh-
ter, except that prescribed by the church, and
expressed his hope that the inhabitants would
protect him and his family from Molestation,
whilst in the vault. Mr. Neale persisted in per-
forming his service, when some one in the cruwd
called out, "No popery." This was followesl by
another cry of " Turn him out." Almost instan ly
the crowd rushed upon the rev. gentlemen and th.)
sisters, whom they expelled with violence from the
churchyard. They were then pursued through the
streets by the mob, who tore the garments of bath
the women and the priest. For some minutes they
could find no place of refuge, but at length suc-
ceeded in getting into the King's Head Inn, South-
over. The mob remained in front of the inn, yell-
ing and shouting "No popery," wh►le the priest
and the sisters were secreted in a state of great fear.
He eventually succeeded in escaping, without his
coat, through a field to the railway station ; and a
body of police, under Superintendent Jenner, hav-
ing arrived, the sisters were conveyed to the rail-
way station in a fly, which was followed thither by 1
a mob of 500 or 600 persons, who continued yelling 1
and shouting "No popery." At the station the I
party remained in comparative safety till twenty
minutes to eight o'clock, when they departed fur
East Grinstead.

THE CONSPIRACY IN CATALONIA.

A letter of the 14th from Madrid gives some fur-
ther details of the conspiracy just discovered. in
Catalon.a. It sAys

"The aide-de-camp of General Papatero, Captain.
General of the Province, is expected every moment in
Madrid. He brings important despatches touching the
confession of one of the chiefs of the Carlc-tepublicsn
conspiracy, and who, as I mentioned in my last letter,
was on the poiet of being shot. With a view to save his
life he promised to make a full discovery. The Govern-
ment is Lot yet aware of the nature and gravity of these
disciosuree. Until we know the particulars brought by
the aide-de-camp, I give you a few particulars, which I
have reason to believe are exact. The conspiracy 'in
Catalonia is of old date, especially on the part 'IA the
Carlists, but for some time past the fools who "eel' them-
helves Republicans have been co-operati'eg with the
Absolutist party. These last count report the sym-
pathies of a considerable "portion of the
upper and lower clergy *.n Catalonia, The
Bishop of Barclonn, now Ard...oishop of Tarragona, has
been always regarded as '.he active protector of the
Absolutist +. The Carliste are well organised in the pro-
vince, and the congregation of San Isidro' is thought to
be nothing more t. an an association formed with the
view of propagaling extreme doctrines. -A branch ae-
eoeiation wax lately attempted to be established in
Nalencie.. The province of Castellon, Lower Arragon,
Morelia, and the Maestrasgo are organised. This had
been known for some time ; bul; a:lat once the telegraph
announced the evening before last a plat was discovered
at Baroslona, and that a person named Meneerrat, one
ocofutheo chiefs of the aseociation, WIVI arrested, tried by
life by giving
to sbv-rae alaitail'and sentenced to be shot, when he tried
valuable information. What-
ever these disehauree be you may be certain. that the
Government will not go to the sourer—.for the source is
to be found in the
Absolutist intriguerof the- King's
sdpi
camarilla. The hostility of this band of conspirators
against the Queen-
Mother causes her to be re
a certain degree of favour by some of the Liberal party.
.
She pillows but little inclination to return to Spain, and
I think she does right in not exposing herself to be
charged with the responsibility of al! that is done here.
I repeat, she has no desire to return, eenngh circuin.
stances may force her to do so before long."

DEATH OF ADMIRAL CLEA.S. GRAHAM, 0.8.
_ We regret to announce the death of Rear-Admi-
ral of the White Charles Graham, C. 8., brother
of the ex-First Lord of the Admiralty, tie Right
Hon. Sir James Graham, Bart. The following is
a sketch of his services :-
"Admiral Graham entered the navy June 9,
1810, as first class volunteer, on board the Bellona,
74, Captain John Erskine Douglas, stationed in the
North Sea, whence, in 1812, he accompanied the
same officer to the Mediterranean, as midshipman
of the Prince of Wales, 98. Ou his rejunction of
the latter ship, after having witnessed in the Impe-
rieuse, 38, Capt. Hon. H. Duncan, the capture of
Porto d'Anzo, and the operations against Leghorn
and Genoa, he returned home, and was paid off in
July, 1814. Until Oct., 1816, he further served, on
the homeland Jamaica stations, in the Glasgow, 50,
Capt. Hon. H. Duncan ;•Romney, 50, Capt. John
Mackellar ; Salisbury, 50, flag-ship of Rear-Admi-
ral J. E. Douglas ; Primrose, 18, Capt. C. G. R.
Phillott, and Salisbury again, Capt. J. Mackellar.
He then became successively acting lieutenant, also
in the West Indies, of the Active and Pique fr.-
gates, Capta. P. Carteret and J. Mackellar ; and on
July 9, 1817, wai confirmed into his former ship,
the Primrose, still commanded by Capt. Phillott.
Having returned to England iu Aug., 1818, on
board the Rifleman brig, Capt. N. Duff, Mr. Gra-
ham next joined Sept. 15, 1819, the Tartar, 42,
bearing the broad pendant of Sir G. R. Collier, on
the coast of Africa, and Dec. 14, 1822, and March
11, 1823, the Impregnable, 104, and Britannia,
120, as flag lieutenant to the Hon. SirA. Cochrane,
commander-in-chief at Plymouth. In the capacity
of commander-a rank he attained Aprill7, 1824-
Capt. Graham was sub-equently, Juno 16, 1829,
appointed to the Philomel, 16, on the Mediterra-
nean station. He was promoted to the command,
Nov. 4, 1830, of the .Eattlesnake, 24, attached to
the force in South America, whence he returned
home, and was paid off Nov. 10, 1833. He has been
employed on the East India station since April 28,
1843, as captain of the Castor, 36. In Dec. 1845,
while senior officer of the squadron at New Zea-
land, he there lauded in command of about 340
officers, seamen, and marines, for the purpose of
co-operating with a body of troops under Coe Des-
pard in the reduction of a pah belonging to a rebel
chieftain named Kewiti, and situa-ed in a t ,ick fo-
rest on a mountain 14 miles inland, from the head
of the river Kawakawa. After more than three
weeks of indefatigable labour and exertion, (luting
which the British, notwithstanding great wetness
of the weather, wereconstantly employed in cutting
roads through the woods and over the hills of a hi-
therto untraversed country, in erecting bat teries near
the pah, then breaching, shelling, and rocketing it,
and had, moreover, to live under what shelter they
could temporarily contrive out of the bush, the
enemy's stronghold was assaulted and carried in
triumph. For this service he was nominated a
C.B. July 27, 1846."
The gsl'antry of Admiral Graham was ever con-
spicuous without ostentation ; and whether in the
desperate affrays with the savages of New Zealand,
or at the memorable but ill-advised attack on the
Sebastopol batteries, he displayed that cool dating
and quiet determination which distinguished him
as a leader, and reflected honour and glory upon him
as a naval commander. Admiral Graham was not
only universally esteemed for his service and social
qualities, but he was respected for his high, un-
flinching, chivalrous integrity ; be had not an atom
of meanness in his composition ; he repudiated all
" borrowed plumes," and more than once in his
career showed that he possessed neither envy,
malice, nor uucharitableness himself, nor would he
tamely permit any friend to be a victim of those
propensities if he could help it. It *ill be recol-
lected that in the attack upon the Sebastopol bat-
teries, when Lord Lyon's flag-ship Agamemnon
was getting more than the Admiral bargained for,
the Rodney worked up to his assistance and took
off theteavy fire from the flag-ship upon himself, in
which setvice the Rodney grounder,and was for
Some time in the greatest peril. Lord Lyons, it
is said, most generously acknowledged the assist-
ance of the Rodney, and, in a letter to Sir James
Graham, then First Lord of the Admiralty, de-
clared that, but for the chivalry of his gallant bro-
ther, he would have been annihilated. Her Ma-
jesty, hearing of the circumstance, took the oppor-
tunity of a vacancy by nominating Capt. Graham
to be one of her neva]. aides-de-camp ; and when
Capt. Graham was informed of his good fo tune,
he very naturally paid a visit to the commander-
in-chief, Sir James Dundas, to thank him for
the handsome terms in which he had spoken
of. Vile affair. He was very much surprised, how-
'ver, to find that the gallant chief knew nothing
about the matter; and then Capt. Graham, sus-
pecting the source of the commendation, with a
chivalry that distinguished him more on account
of his nice sense of honour than even his be-ivory,
called at ones for a court of inquiry into his con-
duct for getting his ship ashore during the action,
and then proved that the sueistonce he rendered to
the Agamemnon was not of his own prompting, but
at the express orders of the commander-in-chief-
the hon. high-minded, and ill-requited Admiral Sir
J. D. Dundas. Poor Admiral Graham was only 61
years of age. We need scarcely add that through-
out the navy his death will be deeply deplored, awl
his services in the fleet, and his bonhommie at the
social board, will live long in the remembrance of
",troops of friends."
