FUNERAL Or THE LATE Mss. WADDINGToN.--
On Saturday last the remains of Mrs. Waddington, of
Llanover, were consigned to the grate. Her funeral
was conducted in the strictest conformity with her wishes,
and while nothing was expended in mere show, plain
mourning was given to all those who had more particu-
larly- served her, and to whom it would benaost useful. She
had long since chosen the spot in the churchyard at Lien-
over where she was to be laid, desiring ;bat she might
not be placed in a vault, or in a lead coffin, but " that
the earth should corer her, and that the green turf
should grow over her deep grave." The place se-
lected by ler adjoins the vault in which other mem-
bers of the family are buried, ;and over which, with
honeysuckles and other flowers, grows a pine, reared
by herself, from seed she had brought from Italy
thirty three years age. At twelve o'cleck the fine
Welsh hymn calved Gorphenwyd" was solemnly
sung as the procession lett the house on foot.
After the c,,ffin was lowered on the large stone which
had been prepared for its reoeption, the pall-bearers
dropped the snowdrops and other flowers which they
carried, upon it; and a bystander (who remained long
aft.-r tbo funeral was over) remarked that all those
there employed seemed to touch the light soil,
with which the grave was being filled, with reve-
rence—that all rough stones were removed from
it, and it was dropped Featly in almost by handfuls;
nor was the grave abandoned till after dark. The
next morning a green turred grave was seen covered with
flowers, and the road to the church was strewed with
snow:ft-opt, and sprigs of yew, and other evergreens. Sir
Benjamin Hall was forbidden by his medical advisers too
leave London, as he had intended, the state of his eyes
I sing so very critical that exposure to cold would have
been attended with great danger. The deceased lady
was the immediate descendant, in the fifth generation,
of the celebrated Sir Bevil Granville, who was killed at
the battle of Lansdown in 1643, and was great niece and
adopted child of Mary Granville, so well known ae the
admirable Mrs. Delany.— Welsh Paper.
GLASGOW ITAIDOUB.--We have much pleasure 'in
noticing that the magnificent first-class steamer Asir,
which was recently launched at Greenock, arrival in
our harbour yesterday, having been tugged up from
the former port. She has been placed alongside of the
Simoom frigate at Lancefield quay, preparvory to get-
ting in her engine?, &C., which have been constructed by
the Messrs. Napier. No time will be lost in getting this
fine vessel ready for sea. Ifer machinery, we under-
stand, is all ready, and it may be confidently predicted,
from the celebrity of both builder and engineer, that the
Asia will prove another triumphant instance of the
superiority of Clyde-built ocean-going steamers. The
same tide that brought up the Asia floated along with
it the largest trading-vessel which, we have authority
for saying, has yet entered our harbour. This was the
American built ship Huguenot, Captain W. Gardner,
freighted with a cargo of ootton, from Savannah, from
whence she made an excellent passage. Notwithstand-
ing her great size, measuring, we believe, nearly 1,000
tuns register, her draught cf elver was not so great as
that of many veAels of inferior tonaage which have got
alongside our wharfs, Icing only sixteen and a half feet.
This is accounted for by the circumstance of her cargo
being entirely cotton, of which she has no fewer than
3,500 bales on board—the largest cargo of this de-
scription which has ever teen landed at Glasgow. Now
that the capabilities of the river are becoming better
known, we may calcukto upon 'tieing more frequently,
as large, if not larger ships in our basin.—?earth British
Mail.

The Earl Fitahardinge has left town for Berkeley
Castle, where the Noble Earl will reside uniil the close

FALL or A PORTION OF THE CDURCIITAID WALL
AT OLDHAM —On Friday, the Bth inst , a portion of the
well which surrounds the graveyard of Ike church, and
abutting into Church-street, suddenly fell, and for a
time obstructed the street; about ten yards in length of
the wall came down. It ha. for some time been yielding
to the lit essure of • arth above, end it is supposed that
the effect of the late severe frost had so loosened the
materials as to causn it to give way. The surface of the
yard at this place is about ten feet above that of the street,
and when the w all fell it exposed to view tiers of c• ffiva
near the surface. A woman passing at its time, arresly
escaped being buried in the ruins. Fortunately there
was no person hurt.
ANOTHER " CASE" FOR THE PROTECTIONISTS:—We
read the other day, in one if those amusing miscellanies,
a " City article," that pepper aa4 getting up, and we
foresaw at once that the Protectionists would have •
good cry directly they set their eyes on pepper. They
will of course bewail the additional difficulty of getting
their rents in those cases where the rent is a peppet-
corn, sod,
declare i t
" Look at pepper,"
ground down worse than
they will
. There is no fear that the article will maintain
etovte,rhigh a price, for pepper is about the last thing that
