FUNERAL OF LORD METCALFE.—Yesterday afternoon the mortal remains of Charles Theophilus, first and last Baron Metcalfe, were consigned to their last resting-place. It has already been stated that that much-lamented nobleman died at Malshangcr, near Basingstoke, but his body was removed on the morning of the fueeral to within a few miles of the church of Winkfield, in Berkshire, to be deposited in the vaule with his ancestors. The country seat of the Metcalfe family is Fern-hill, in the parish of Winkfield, but for many years past that residence has been held by successive tenants of the deceased peer, the last of whom was Sir Felix Booth; its present occupant is the Dowager Lady Granville. On this account, therefore, the mourners 1 mei attendants did not assemble, as under other circumsi stances they would belie done at Fern-hill, but at Hillhouse, the residence of his Lordship's nephew, Sir Heskeih Fleetwood. Hill-house is also in the parish of Winkfield. The obsequies of the deceased peer were conducted in a manner quite becoming his high rank and the great le rsonal esteem in which he had ever been held, but at the same time with no unusual or ostentatious display. There were, of course, several mourning-coaches and four, the church was hung with black cloth, the coronet of the deceased was borne upon a crimson velvet cushion, the coffin was covered with crimson velvet, the hearse was adorned with paintings of the arms, coronet, &c., belonging to the deceased, and every part of the ceremony was performed with impressive effect. Amongst the mourners were Lord Monson, Sir Alan M'Nab, Mr. James Metcalfe Mr. Thomas Metcalfe, Mr. Brownrigg, M.P., Sir Hesketh Fleetwood, Bart., Messrs. Martin, 13rownrigg, jun., Smythe, Howell, Ste. The private carriages of several noblemen and gentlemen followed the mourning coaches; amongst the latter we noticed that of Lord Ashbrmike, the brother-inlaw of the deceased. It is understood that Mr. Brownr;gg has been appointed Lard Metcalfe's executor, and twat the bulk of his Lordship's property will go to Mr. James Metcalfe. His Lordship's brother, now in India, inherits the baronetcy, to which the deceased peer succeeded inure than twenty sears ago. ASSASSINATION OF A "REVENUE OFFICER AT BoLOGNA.—A letter from Bologna states, that the sonfeditti have been guilty of a horrible assassination. A. revenue officer having refused to participate in their machinations against Pius IX., fell a victim to his devotion. As he had expressed his intention of going to Rome, fearing lest he should inform against them, they shot him. Ihe crime was scarcely perpetrated when the sonfedist who were anxiously awaiting the result in the streets e: Faenza, I),,gan to cry out, "Behold the fruits of the amnesty !" Happily the victim of this cowardly act bad still life enough Idt before expiring to denounce his murderers, and the motives of their act. They wished to impute the ant to the effects of the amnesty. His statement was taken down and sworn to by seventeen witnesses. The whole populltion of Faenza, without distinction, followed the murdered man to I-is grave; the funeral was on a ma2nificent scale. Public opinion, also, points out the suifedi,ti as the murderers of the Swiss Colonel who was assassinated on the public square of Forli a few days previous to the above mentioned murder. .
