LYING IN STATE.
The design for the lying in state has been completed by
Professor Cockerell, and has been highly approved of by
the Queen and Prince Albert. The public will pass
through a partially covered way draped with black cloth,
into the vestibule, the dome of which, nearly one hun-
dred feet high, will be gracefully festooned in the same
sombre material. On entering the hall, the eye, assisted
by eighty-three enormous candelabra ranged round the
ball, will be first struck with the sable hangings with
which the walls and ceilings are completely covered, and
the niches, in each of which will stand, with arms re-
versed, soldiers in pairs of the Duke's regiment. The
dais will be forty-five feet wide by thirty-five feet deep,
and completely covered with cloth of gold of the most
costly description. From the ceiling will descend a mag-
nificent canopy of black velvet spangled with silver stars,
and fringed with ornaments of the same material. Over
the front of the canopy will be thrown a heraldic mantle,
with the family arms of the deceased emblazoned in gold.
The coffin will be placed on a raised platform, sur-
rounded by an ornamental fence massively silvered, on
the pedestal of which will be placed lions rampant, each
bearing a shield with one of the Dukes numerous armo-
rial devices. The dais will be lighted from ten hollow
columns having reflectors inside, and so arranged as to
throw the light completely on the bier. The designs of
these columns will represent bundles of spears bound with
laurel and studded with hatchments. Besides these there
will be twelve smaller candelabra. At the foot of the
coffin, in front, will be seen a touching memorial of the
hero's greatness, being a collection of all his military in-
signia and decorations. The whole of the draperies of
the hall will be trellised with silver cord. At the head of
the coffin will be placed three handsome chairs, for the
chief and two assistant mourners.
The inscription for the coffin plate is as follows :
" The most high, mighty, and most Noble Prince
Arthur Duke and Marquis of Wellington, Marquis Douro,
Earl of Wellington, Viscount Wellington of Talavera and
of Wellington, and Baron Douro of Wellesley, Knight of
the Most Noble Order of the Garter, Knight Grand Cross
of the Most Honourable Order of the Bath, one of Her
Majesty's Most Honourable Privy Council, and Field-
Marshal and Commaner-in-Chief of er Mjesty'
Forces. Born Ist May, 17d79; died 14th SepteHmber, a 1852. s"

LITERARY LIBEL.—A certain Dr. Joel Parker has com-
menced an action against Mrs. Stowe, the authoress of
" Uncle Tom's Cabin," for defamation, in stating that
he was the author of some atrocious sentiments. He has
laid his damages at 20,000 dollars.
RAILWAY ACCIDENT.—On Friday an accident occurred
on the Manchester, Sheffield and Lincolnshire Railway,
through the fall of an embankment, by which three men,
a carpenter, and two excavators lost their lives. The
accident gave rise to a collision, bywhich three passengers
were injured.
To HEAL BURNS.—Steep the bark of sumach root,
and boil it away until it is very strong ; then add hog's
lard, and boil it until the water has all evaporated. A
little of this applied to a burn will check the inflammation
instantly. It has been known to cure dangerous scalds,
when physicians' remedies have failed.
A WOLF-MAN.—A Granada journal gives the following
particulars of Manuel Blanco, the " wolf-man." who has
just been executed in Gallicia for his crimes :—" It would
appear that having previously committed several murders
in the province of Leon, and being pursued by the courts
there, he took refuge in the out-of-the-way village of Re-
bordechao, in Gallicia—a village enclosed by mountains,
and with very little communication with any other part ;
there he practised great austerity, and by daily attendance
at mass, and constant reading of devout books, &c., he
acquired a reputation for great piety, and all the houses
there were open to him.. Affecting to have property at
Santander, he availed himself of the influence he had ac-
quired over the minds of no less than nine poor persons—
widows and children in most cases—to induce them one
after another to set out with him from the village across
the sierra, promising them good positions and employ-
ment at Santander, but murdering them, and partly de-
vouring them, it appears, when involved in the intrica-
cies of the mountains. His first victims at Rebordechao
were one Manuela Garcia and an infant child, whom he
promised to provide for at Santander. He returned three
days after setting out, and said that he had left them on
the way, very happy, and in company with a carrier, and
in a short time pretended to have received a letter, in
which they described their good fortune at Santander, and
the result of which was that a sister of Manuela Garcia,
named Benita, who lived at Laza with her son, desired
also to go there, and he set out with them, and disposed
of them in the same way, and so on till the number of
victims reached to nine. He also confessed to many other
murders at different places. The skull of one of his vic-
tims was found and produced before him, but it made no
impression on him, and his pulse remained firm and quiet.
All his victims being
is, of the poorest class, plunder could
hardly be the incentive to these crimes. His own state-
ment that his nature is changed from time to time into
that of a wolf, and it would really appear that the savage
pleasure of tearing his victims to pieces was the sole mo-
tive of his actions."
