Am OLD Burial Vault Opened,

The arches of the old burial vault of Wesley
Chapel, In Attorney street, New York, gave
way Friday, and almost the entire stop
and one of the side walls of the structure fell
In, making a great gap about twenty feet In
the ground which Is about half the area OF
the yard. Saturday q ladder WAS placed
against the ledge. and many persons gratified
their curiosity by going down into the vault.
At one side, where the arch still remained
standing, could be seen heaps of mouldy
fragments OF boards. There were also sever
al coffin-shaped boxes, some of which retained
their lids, partially fallen to pieces. The
skeletons of the dead were exposed to view
dtsjointed and decayiDg- no vestige of a
shroud except a yellow mould that would dis
solve at a touch. Some of the broken collins
contained only q fragment of bone. Among
tue many fragments of loose boards no traces
of the bodies once contained in the collins
they composed could be discovered. A former
sexton states that the total number of inter-
ments In the vault was not far from 5000.

The Assassination of the Shersef of VI eCca

IN. L. d6TAl0,I
The correspondent of the London Times at
Constanttnople hints that the assassination
OF the Grand Shereef OF Mecca, who was
stabbed by Persian fanatic on the IA h ult.,
and died on the 21st, was procured by Abdul
Muttalib Pacha, his successor who had long
been In Constantinople endeavoring to con-
vince the Sultan that Sheik Hussein, the muir
dered Shereef sought to free Arabia from
Turkish rule. Abdul Muttaib Pacha was
Grand Shereef of Mecca at the time Of the
Jiddah massacre In 1858, and was deposed, at
the demand OF England, In consequence of
that affair. He enjoys great reputation
among the Arabs as a warrior and statesman
and as descendant of The Prophet. He has
q fanatlcai hatred and contempt for all Chris
tians-indeed, 1t is whispered that he is o
Wahabee-but especially for the British In
consequence OF the energetic action OF the
government at the time OF the Jiddah mas
sacre. This Is probably one of the reasons
why the Sultan appointed him as Sheik Hus-
selns successor. His nomination will be es-
pecially unwelcome to Great Britain because
of hie influence over the Mussulmans In India,
but the British Embassy. knowing the Sui
tan's disposition to lean on the fanaticaI
party and resist all foreign Interference or
influence, will make no formal protest.
