This matter Of the principalitiss has as

understanding, refuse to leave.
The English journals under thcimmediate
inspiration of the Government on the con-
trary deny that any such demand has been
made by the Porte.

The south Ferry suicide :. Barial Of
Lizzie Me~srA..Tsscning scene
at the Grave.
! The reader Of the Herald will remember
j the mysterious disappearance Of the young
woman from OF the boat at the South Ferry
on Sunday morning last, and the interest
! that ensued as to who she was and what
! her motives were for committing self destruc-
! ton.
/ Since that time her body was recovered ct
Thompson's dock, and on Thursday the corpse
was buried ut Greenwood Cemetery. The
story of her life is painfully interesting, and
not without its moral.
1 Lizzie Howard, for such was the name she
was known by, came to this city from Rox-
bury, Massachusetts, some three years since.
She was then IL years Of age, with blue eyes
and light hair, and otherwise . most attrac.
tive girl. Soon after her arrival, she formed
the acquaintance Of young man Who betrAy-
cd, and, rs usual in such cases, deserted her.
She tnen became the inmate Of q house of
questionable repute in Mercer street, where
she formed the acquaintance Of o young man
attached TO q certain restaurant in Broadway
that is much frequented by fashionable peo-
Pile, and for him she conceived an ardent at
lachment. She then removed TO house in
Green street, where she was surrounded
with every luxury thar could be provided BY
= woman that led the life she did. At this
time her lover was faithful, but lattcrly he
displayed disposition to cut her acquaint-
ance, and the women IL the house say she
experienced the most intense anguish at his
GOODNESS.
On Saturday night last the parties met nc
cidensaly nc Peracho's bail where she ac-
costed him and wished him 10 dance with her
He coldly refused. She then pleaded with
him to 20 home with her, as she wished To
communicate something Of Importance to
them both, but he refused her opportunities
with rudcness. Wounded ut his conduct, she
left the ball room and retired to her home
she laid down for awhile, but shortly afte,
arose, dressed herself, and left the house,
This was at o'clock on Sunday morning.
She was accosscd by policeman NJ the cor.
ucr Of Cortland street, but, not noticing him
she continued her way to South Ferry, and
went on one Of the boats. Ii Was q cold
chilly night; there was no moon, and when
the boat Was half way across the unfortun
ate girl threw herself without cry from the
stern, and was soon buried under the heavy
tide that was running at the time.
The two passengers on the boat little knew
Of the fearful tragedy that had been enacted
on the boat, but the girl Was missed BY them
on the Brooklyn side, and the alarm given &c
her friends through the Herald.
Her body was recovered on Tuesday, and
identified BY her female compositions.
photograph was found on her person Of ths
young man whom she had loved 20 we'll, but
so snwisely. On Thursday her remains wor.
conveyed TO Greenwood, where she was in.
tered with the picture Of her false lover
placed upon her breast. The scene at th.
grave was painfully impressive.
The landlady Of the house, her female Dom.
panions, a clergymen, the undertaken and hi
wife, were all that were present. After tn,
reading Of the Episcopal burial service By
the clergyman, one Of LizIie's female oom
panions read Hoods touching poem, eth,
Bridge Of Sighs," amid the tears and sobs oil
all present, after which the funeral cortsg,
returned TO the city. This 10 one OF the man,
