THE ROYAL MIT rO7ITELARD,

(nom oun tram CORRESPONDINT.)
'PITBLItT, MIME!.
To-day Dublin Is as lively and as happy as it was
any day last week. It is another holiday, shops
being shut, and business and cars banded over to the
dogs. Though it rained all Saturday night, the greater
part of Sunday, and the whole of last night, leaving flags,
banners, and ornaments generally in a woefully bedabbleci
condition, and the streets in a perfect mass of mud, the
citizens were astir at the earliest hour preparing to spend
their day in the park. Towards nine o'clock, though the
sky was still overcast, the streets and green lanes were
alive with pedestrians, cars, cabs, carriages, and all
manner of conveyances ; at ten o'clock the throng was
immense, and between eleven and twelve, when the sun
shone out brightly, giving promise of a fair day, two
large crowds, through which it was scarcely
possible to guide a horse, surged from Carlisle).
Bridge to Par!:gate-street, on either side of the
river, and crowded into the park entrances :end
grounds. These living streams continued to discharge
themselves without intermission till two o'clock, when the
wide circumferences and long reaches of the fields of the
review may be said to have received their greatest acces-
sion of human number and weight.
You know the Park. It is the most extensive in Great
Britain, and certainly the most beautiful. It covers, with
its princely Viceregal Lodge, its constabulary barracks,
its military hospitals, its zoological and other gardens,
about 1,500 acres of ground. To-day it lookea
charming. The showers of the previous two nights im.
parted to its extensive swards hues of the freshest and
richest green. The trees on each side of its long and broad
avenue, or lining the banks of its artificial ponds, were
arrayed in the fairest robes, or laden with the delicate
budding beauties of a virgin spring. The hedge-rows were,
crowded with foliage, the shrubberies redolent with OA
sweetness of renewed life, the garden plots brilliant v,,atla
the bloom of crocuses, cowslips, primroses, hyacinths,
and other early flowers. Then, to the beauties of
nature add the attractions of a review on the largest
and grandest possible scale. See officers of the army,.
navy, militia, and volunteers, in all the varieties of their
uniform, crowded together within the clump of trees south.
west of and close to the Chief Secretary's Lodge, genet
a%
and field officers having a separate portion of the sara6
space ; see the whole troops in garrison—the Grenaclieg
Guards, the 6th Dragoon Guards, the 10th Hussars, the
12th Lancers with their splendid uniforms, the 3rd Buffs,
the 72nd (Duke of Albany's Own), the Highlanders with
their picturesque costume, the 39th Regiment, the 63rd
Regiment, the 89th Regiment with their respective bands,
the Artillery, the Royal Engineers, and the boys of the
Hibernian School in their rich scarlet, with their splendid
music, the whole lining in every conceivable form, and
soon to produce the most magnificent effect onthe entire broad
acres ; see next the royal stand richly ornamented and
decorated, flaunting the national standard, resplendent
with the rank and fashion and beauty of Ireland's metro.
polis, conspicuous among all being their Royal Highnesses
the Prince and Princess of Wales, their Excellencies the
Lord-Lieutenant and the Marchioness of Abercora,'
Prince Teck, and other members of the Royal and
Viceregal families ; then fill up the whole scene
with long lines of carriages laden with beauty and
ornate with every variety of lovely bonnet and rich
drapery and dresses, and crowded in upon the whole
about 200,000 people all in their holiday attire, all cheerful
and happy, all delighted with Royalty and the review—
and you have the outline of a picture which may be
filled up, partly, at least, by the vigorous efforts of
a lively imagination and an educated mind. It
is only an outline at the best. The spectacle would
require to be seen to be fully understood. It would require
to have infused into it the warm life of hundreds of
prancing, trotting, galloping steeds, each like the waft
horse neighing for the battle ; it would require to have
the animation of thousands of infantry marching and
manoeuvring in every recognised and accepted milaary
mode and form ; it would require to have the park
of artillery instinct with the enemy crowding the
green turf, belching forth terrific thunder into mid-air
it would require to have the glittering helmets, the gaudy
plumes, the bright ensigns, and the gleaming swords of the,
Lancers, the Huzzars, and the Dragoons all under the in.,
fluence of a noon-day sun ; and it would require, over and
above all, to hear the crack and roar and hurricane
of rifle and gun mingled in a series of grand charge,
extending over the whole field to make the picture at all
complete.

Most of the troops were on the ground by nine or ten
o'clock ; the review, however, did not commence till about
noon, when the royal party reached the "Fifteen Acres,"
and it was finished before four. I leave the reporters to
describe the military evolutions, and furnish the names of
the distinguished officers who took part in the proceedings;
simply remarking, as I close to catch the post,
that, so far I could see or learn, no accident occurred
during the day. All was happy and joyous, and the Prince
and Princess seemed to be greatly pleased.
The royal cortege returned to the Castle at half-past
four o'clock, received by the populace, as they have been
all through, most enthusiastically, the hand of the Guards
playing, amid thrilling plaudits, the thoroughly Irish
favourite, " Gurryowen."

FUNERAL OF THE MARQUIS OF
SALISBURY, K.G.

The funeral of the late Marquis of Salisbury took place
oft Monday afternoon at Hatfield Church, Herts, wheri
the family vault is situate. Throughout the early part
of the morning the weather had been wet and tem-
pestuous, but about an hour before the time ap-
pointed for the funeral the rain ceased. A few minutes
after three o'clock the procession, on foot, left the
cloisters of Hatfield House as follows :—Two mutes;
lid of feathers ; pages on each side r; the body, borne
by eight of the principal labourers on the deceased
nobleman's estate, followed by the mourners, Viscount
Cranborne, Lord Eustace Cecil, M.P., Lord Sackville,
Lord Arthur, and Lord Lionel Cecil (sons of the deceased
peer), the Rev. J. Richardson, Mr. Alexander Beresford
Hope, M.P., Mr. Philip Beresford Hope, Mr. A.
Balfour, Lord West, Mr. Hastings Russell, M.P., Mr.
E. C. Johnson, Mr. Nicholson, Dr. Drage, &c. Th•
pall-bearers were Mr. Dagg (the late lord of Hatfield's
agent), Mr. G. Farr, Mr. J. Townsend, Mr. F. Farr,
Mr. Smyth, Mr. J. Webb, Mr. Mack, and Mr. Beavis.
Next in the procession came Mr. Adams (the houso
steward) and five of the principal servants of the
late marquis's household. It will be understood from
the above that the funeral was remarkable for its
simplicity, considering the position and rank of the de-
ceased. The funeral procession, on leaving the fine old
Elizabethan mansion of the junior branch of the Cecils,
proceeded by the pathway across the south gardens, and
on reaching the stableyard, which adjoins both the man-
sion and the church, two lines were formed by the ser.
vants and employtis of the late marquis, numbering nearly
200 persons. On arriving at the entrance to the church
the body was received by the Hon. and Rev. W. W. C,
Talbot, M.A., rector of Hatfiell, and after the preliminary
service, the several mourner-. and attendants on the
funeral occasion were shown to their assigned places, the
organ in the meantime playing the Dead March in
" Saul." The pulpit, reading-desk, and family pew exhi-
bited the customary emblems of mourning. The funeral
service was performed by the hon. and rev. rector, and at
the conclusion the late marquis's remains were consigned
to the family vault in the presence of his sorrowing rela-
tives and friends. The church was filled at that part
where the funeral service took place. Many of the local
clergy attended out of respect to the memory of tl de
ceased marquis, together with a number of the pri',c,ipal
tenants from the family estates in Lancashire, Dorset.
shire, and Essex.

According to the Shilffield Independent, a womati,
.1, hawker of oranges, has met with her death under, so
far as at present appears, most revolting circumstances, in
Brightside lane. Being very drunk, the landlord of a
public-house put her into an outbuilding to keep her out of
the way of the rough fellows who were about, and locked
the door. She was afterwards found dead, having been
subjected to most brutal treatment. Two men are in
custody charged with participation in this very serious
affair.

FRIGHTFUL AND FATAL MACHINERY ACCIDENT.
—On Monday afternoon a frightful accident, resulting in
the loss of two lives, occurred at the dye works of Messrs.
Haigh and Heaton, Milnsbridge, near Huddersfield. A
hydro-extrate is there used to dry the wool, and it goes
round at the rate of 900 revolutions in a minute, thewater
being forced by centrifugal action out of holes in the sides
of the machine, a shield preventing it splashing about the
room. Some wet wool had been placed in the machine on
Monday forenoon, about half-past ten o'clock, and it was
spinning round as usual when it burst, and pieces of iron
flew from it Dyson, explosion of a shell. These pieces
struck Joseph aged 18, mangling him fearfully,
knocking him ten yards away over another man, who escaped
without injury, and rendering him insensible. Pieces also
strck William Ashton, aged 59, dyer, of Hudderfield, and
injured him in a frightful manner. DysownAaswshasatttoetnankn

put into a conveyance and taken to Huddersfield, but
died before he reached the infirmary. The pieces of iron
that struck the wall of the room knocked great holes in
it. The machine had only been repaired about a week
ago. This is the third violent death that has taken place
in the Ashton family.
