WINDSOR, MONDAY.
The funeral of the late Captain Fernyhougb, the Go-
vernor of the Military Knights, took place this day at
the new catacombs at St. George's Chapel, with full
military honours.
Mr. Fernyheugh, jun., Messrs. Bond, Smith, and
Masters (relatives), and Dr. Stanford and Mr. Fowler,
the medical attendants of the deceased knight, followed
as mourners. His Serene Highness Prince Edward of
Sane Weimar, Lieut. Bruce, Lieut. Lascelles, and Col
esinhope, of the Grenadier Guards and the Naval and
Military Knights in residence at Windsor, also followed
the corpse to the grave.
This is the first interment which has taken place in
the new catacombs, which were completed in August
last, and are constructed to contain upwards of 200 coffins.
Tan NEW GOVERNOR.—Captain Moore, late of the
69th Regiment of Foot, who received the appointment
of a Military Knight of Windsor upon the death of
Captain J. J. Cummin, in June last, has been appointed
to the Governorship, in the room of the late Captain
Fernyhough. Captain Moore entered the 69th in
was Woo;
obtained his Lieutenantcy the following year ; ap-
pointed to a Captaincy in 1811 ; and retired upon half-
pay at the close of the war in 1815. The new Go-
vernor being the junior Knight the appointment has
been the cause of surprise and disappointment to many
of his seniors.

BEIRNIARD AND A STANDARD
OF VALUE."
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
Sta.,—Your Correspondent Beirniard, in your's of
the 13th inst., has intended so ably to describe a
standard of value, that it is a great pity that it should
have been confused—the little word " if," never was,
I am certain, intended by him to have been in the
place it is; he either omitted to have erased it in his
111.5., or it is a typographical error.
Beirniard's definition of a standard of value cannot
be quoted too often ; therefore, perhaps you will allow
me to do so, marking the word " if,' in a parenthesis.
" The fundamental original sin' which lies at the
base of all currency theories (of the usual school) is the
mystification about a standard of value,' there is no
such standard (if) it means some thing which will
always command the same amount of other things
which men consider valuable."
I fully agree with Beirniard, that not only is there
no such standard, but that there never was,
will nor ever
be,—when the alchymist discovers the philoso-
pher's stone, and the mechanic perpetual motion, then
may the monetarian hope to find "GO a standard of
value."—Yours, &c. RDIUS.
