The iuneral ceremonial was of the simplest possible character, and conducted with privacy, the iew people who travelied trom Lyna and elsewhere, and they were not numerous—it being King's Lynn market day—being Kept on the high road outside the park palisading, and only those connected with the royal estate being ad- mitted into the park. The weather was duil and rather cold, but not so severe as it had been on some previous days. The pathway from the garden gate to the church- yard was lined on each side by the laborers, work- men and cottagers on the estate, and near the churchyard were a score or two of children belong- ing to the Princess’ schools, who were dressed in scarlet capes, &c., the presents of the Princess of Wales. ‘The demeanor of al! present was devout in the highest degree. ‘The procession moved on from the house to the church with no accompanying toll- ing of bells, the only public intimation of what was ‘oing on being that the flags were hall-mast high on the towers of the Sandringham’s and King’s Lynn churches, the Gray Friars’ Tower and some other laces, The funeral ceremony was conducted by the onorable and Very Reverend the Dean of Windsor, Dr. Wellesley, assisted by the Rev.

He moved a resolutiva adverse to the match Wx clause. Mr. Glaastone, in reply, said that ‘to recall and reconsider the budget at the bidding of an adver. sary Was unprecedented, He was, however, willing to reconsider the question of the (8x on lacter matches in case it should be foand to be Incou- venient and irritating to the people as well as un- productive of favorable revenue resulis."* Mr. Gladstone, in conclusion, said that “the oppo- sition had in the main directed their assaults upon the match tax, but the abolition of the system of purchase of army commissions was the real target."” In the vote which ensued on a division the gov ernment was sustained, ‘The House soon aiterwards adjourned.

Scovel, Ware's counsel, to the effect that he had prevailed upon Chancellor Zabriskie to grant a writ of error and stay of execu- uon of the law. Ware will accordingly have a new trial.

Wyen he was informed that a writ of error had been granted he was completely overcome with joyful emotions, His wife, who has peen spending the day with him, also manifested the greatest joy at the reception of the gratifying intelligence. The new trial will come off in June next, It is said some facts will be developed that will put an entirely new face on the whole affair.

PERILS OF THE DEEP. Probable Shipwreck in Boxton Bay—A Vessel Supposed to be Lost with All on Board. Boston, Mass., April 25, 1871. A quantity of “wreck stuf” has been found in Boston Bay, which renders it almost certain that the bark Merrimac, of Boston, Captain Nichols, from Montevideo for this port, has been lost, and proha- bly with all on board. Among the débris was a bucket rack marked “Merrimac, of Boston.” That vessel was fully due at this port, and it is hkely that she was run down and sunk by an outward bound vessel. Nothing has yet been discovered of the wreck except the bucket rack and some planks, casks, &c. ‘The Merrimac was owned by Messrs. Bridge, Lord & Co. and others of Boston and was not insured. Her cargo consisted of 675 bales of wool, consigned to C. F, verry. Captain Nichols belonged to Searsport, Me., where nis family reside, THE PACIFIC COAST.

George Hill, alias Cooley Keys, and Thomas Howard were out on a quiet little bust last night, and in the course of tueir rarnblings went ito a disorderly house in West Twenty-sixth street, kept by a Mrs. Rice. Here they had a high old time of it, Wine, oaths and bawdy talk flowed as freely as water for half an hour or #0, when Hill and Howard took excep- tion te something Mary Burns—a girl living in the house and with whom they were carousing— i said, when they both went for her, with the evident intention of either killing or seriously injuring her for life, So far asthe latter was concerned they were sic: cessful Ina moateminent degree. They pounded her with empty champagne bottles, lassen, chaira, and, !n fact, any and every thing they could lay thelr hanus on, till the poor creature Was MORE. DRAD THAN ALIVE. Sho screamed “Murder” at the top of her voice and im- plored the other parties in the house to save her life, but through fear of the two ruflians who were pounding her no One interfered or raida word in her bebali, At last, when she was more ded than alive, two officers, attracted by her cries, rushed into the house and rescued her from her woud- be murderers, both of whom they took to the Twenty-uinth precinct station house and locked up. Upon examination the girl was found to be frightfully in- jures, Her head was cat in bal adozen places, both her eyes were competely closed up, and ber body was covered with oruises where the bruies had kicked ner when she was prostrate on the floor. Cooley Keys and Thomas Howard are most ters and are well known to the police of thi ity.
