A large crowd of curious people had gathered on the hill-top and around the building when the earriage with Mr. Pitman and invited friends drove up and were admitted. Upon a table in the reception room was a wire rack. | Lato this the body, having been removed from the casket, Was tenderly placed, covered) with a white cloth saturated in alum, ani upon the breast was placed a buaei white flowers, emblematic of purity A lady who saw the features of the dead sald they wore a sweet, placid expression, and (hat there seemed to be almost a tinge of natura color in the cheeks and on the lips.

"As the rack was moving in a slight smoke issued from the aperture with a slight odor, as of burned wool. This was due to the failure to cover the head cou pletely with the cloth saturated alum it it was only momentary. For a few minutes those outside detected a slight smoke issuing from the retort flue, bat the was no odor whatever, nor was ther either in the furnace or ‘reception rooms.

The process of incremation was more rapid than in the case of Baron De Palm, whose body had been long embalmed, and was almost mummified when put in the oven. As there had been some question as to nplete and thorough action of intense a body not desiccated as the Bavou’s it is at feast scientitically gratifying to know that the process was so rapid and abso lutely inoff e.

Pasha was to have vis quarters to dissuade the Grand Duke from advancing, but the order has been revok It is expected that the treaty of peace will soon be signed. . THE PEACE CONGRESS. It is reported that Russia has represented to England that the United States, as a great maritime power, should participate in the con- gress. England has not objected, but suggests that Greece should also take part. Russia Suggests to the Porte the desirability of re- moaing the Mussulman population from Bul- garia. Greece is likely to be an ally of Eng- land in case of hostilities. Two French irou- clads have gone tothe entrance of the Dar- danelles. THE GREEKS STILL THIRSTING FOR MOSLEM GORE. Platano, in Thessaly, besieged by the insur- gents, has been captured, and a Turkish de- tachment repulsed. The Greeks have again crossed the boundary to aid the insurgents. Hostilitigs are breaking out in all directions onthe Island of Crete; they are seizing the block houses and strongholds under the flag of union with Greece.

A special dispatch from London reports that in consequence of representations made by Austria and backed by Germany the Czar of kussia has abandoned the intention of vecu- pying Constantinople.
