Illegal Interment est a Convent . —A question of local and general importance came before the Derby Burial Board last Monday . One of the sisters of a convent situated in the town had died , and was buried in a piece of ground at the back of the premises . The interment being in direct violation of the order of council , dated October 18 . 1854 , it was reported to the clerk of
the Board , and a special meeting was called on the day mentioned , to consider what proceedings should be taken in consequence . It was also stated that two other nuns had previously been buried in the same ground , without their deaths being registered . The Lady Superior admitted the Alleged facts , but pleaded ignorance of the law . After a long discussion , it was decided by a majority of ten to lay the case before the Secretary of State for the Home Department , with a request that he would institute an inquiry . An amendment , to the effect that the parties be requested to remove the bodies within fiye months , was rejected .
An Abistocbatic Engine-Driver . — Lord Willoughby d'Eresby drove an engine on the Crieff Junction Railway , which , he has made at his own cost , for the benefit of one of his estates . He has recently learnt the accomplishment of engine-driving , and he performed the down and up journey -with great steadiness , and within the appointed time . Afterwards , he sent 3 / . to be divided between the enginemen and porters . Corosjeus ' Inquest into Fires . —Mt . Cooper , coroner of Portsmouth , has refused to hold an inquest into the causes of a fire at Portsea , because , according to Lord Chief Justice Jervis , such inquests , unless when there has been loss of life , are illegal .
The Hardwicke Refoumatory . —Mr .. Lloyd Baker , the orginator and manager of the Hardwicke Reformatory , in Gloucestershire , one of the earliest of the establishments set on foot for the reformation of juvenile offenders , nas addressed a circular to his brother magistrates of Gloucestershire , acknowledging the receipt of a sum of 290 Z ., raised by them in answer to an appeal made by the grand jury at the Gloucestershire Lent Assizes . Mr . Baker takes the opportunity of noticing several points which induce him . to hope that good has been effected . Persia has proposed to submit her differences with England to the arbitration of a foreign Power . Dost Mohammed , at the head of 5000 men , has made an incursion into the province of Sistan . The Persians still occupy the environs of Herat . The Affghaas have invaded the province of Candahar .
The Bankruptcy of William Tyson . —The adjourned examination of this bankrupt , whose usurious interest on accommodation loans has been the subject of conversation in the monetary circles , took place on Monday . In the course of his examination , he admitted that he had made false entries in his books ; asserted that he had "forgotten" that he had open accounts to the extent of 4000 / . ; and said that he " might have made payments to Mr . Humphreys ( one of his creditors ) without taking receipts , " adding , "I have no receipt for 2000 J . I handed back to him . " This was a portion of some money which Mr . Humphreys had lent to the bankrupt . The examination was further adjourned , in order that Tyson might amend his balance-sheot .
The late John Sadleik . —The affairs of the suicide were brought before the Prerogative Court on Thursday , when Dr . Deane made an application to the court , founded upon an original decree , granting administration of the effects of the deceased as having died a felon . It now appeared that he had property hi Ireland , and it was considered necessary to apply for administration to it . The motion-which he had to make was , that the court would be pleased to decree tbo original warrant to be delivered out of the registry to her Majesty ' s proctor , to bo by him handed over to Mr . Norris for production in the Dublin Prerogative Court , a notarial copy thereof being first made and deposited in the registry . After some argument , it was agreed that the motion should stand over until the first session of next term ,. unless tho Queen ' s proctor in the meantime apply fortUo warrant to be attended with by one ofliccr of the
court . A Small Wiialr waa discovered last Saturday on Ulvorston sands , and , after an exciting chase , was killod .

The foundation-stone of the district church there was livid by his lordship on his return from . India , anil ho was tho main contributoi to ita building fund . Tho funeral was strictly private .
Mtt . DltinAUXA ON UnKESTKICTED CoMI'IiTITlON . — Tho annual meeting of tho Royal Agricultural Association of Bucka took place on Tuesday in HmiUinglmin . Tho Duke of Buckingham presided at the dinner , and addressed tho company on the necessity of introducing modern scientific moans into tho cultivation of the haul , and of exhibiting unwearying energy in farming operations . Mr . Disiaeli also made some observations to the like effect , in acknowledging the toast of his health . Ho said : — . "We hIiohW bo blind to all the maxima of prudence if we reposed upon the present position of
affairs , and did not feel conscious that it is individual exertion , and aggregate enterprise , to which we can alone look forward for the maintenance of English supremacy in farming . We cannot conceal from ourselves that our soil is now subject to unrestricted competition . The time has passed when we can enter into any discusssion as to the policy or impolicy of such a state of affairs , butweshouldbe madmen if we shut our eyes to it , and did not resolve to meet it by the only means by which it can be successfully encountered and triumphantly vanquished , namely , by a continuation of the energy and enterprize which for
years have distinguished the efforts of the farmers of this country . The British cultivator is favoured with a soil which , on the whole , is a fair soil , with a climate which , on the whole , is a favourable climate , and , in addition , he has the blessing to live in a land , where there is a just administration of the law , and the enjoyment of a free constitution . Whatever may be the difficulties he may have to encounter , whatever may be the burdens he may have to bear , with those advantages , and With the spirit which they animate and sustain , he has a right to hope and believe that he can maintain the proud position which he at present occupies . "
The Chancellor of the Exchequer at Radnor . — Sir G . Cornewall Lewis presided on Wednesdaj" at the annual dinner of the Radnorshire Agricultural Society . In the course of his first speech , after dinner , he referred jestingly to the report that he had sent 5 , 000 , 000 / . to America , to support Colonel Fremont ' s election . In his ignorance , he had thought that the 5 , 000 , 000 ; . loan was for the remaining expenses of the war . He could say that if the return , of Colonel Fremont was to depend upon the application of this sum of 5 , 000 , 000 ? ., lie would not recommend that gentleman to le very sanguine about his success . ( Hear and laughterSy After some other toasts had been drunk , Sir Gr . C . Lewis again addressed the company , referring to the peace , and quoting several historical instances to show that a treaty of peace is generally unpopular at first . He also spoke in favour of agricultural statistics .
The late Fall of a House in the Cm-. —The report of the General Purposes Committee with reference to the recent fatal fall of a house in Little Swanalley , was read before the City Commission of Sewers on Tuesday . The committee state that the house was repaired in 1845 by order of the Court of Aldermen , which then exercised authoiity over dangerous buildings in the City ; that in 1851 it was registered as a common lodging-house , and that two years later it was thoroughly cleansed and further repaired . " We observe , " say the committee , " that the inmates of « the house that unfortunately fell state im then * evidence at the inquest before the coroner , that they never called the attention of your officer , on his inspection , or of the
police , to the dangerous condition of the house . Under these circumstances , it appears to us , that all you could in any way do in the case was done , and that the accident in question arose from causes that were not within the observation of your officers , which , indeed , is also distinctly stated by the district surveyor in his evidence at the inquest . It is the duty of your inspectors , who are practically conversant with building matters , in their general house survey for sanitary purposes , to remark and inform the district surveyors of any appearances of a dangerous character in the buildings they visit , and we have every reason to know that these officers do perform their duty in tins respect . " The report was unanimously agreed to .
Accident . —Captain Walters , of the bvig Neptune , lying in the river off Wapjiing , met with a fatal accident yesterday ( Friday ) morning . Stepping across several vessels to reach his own , he fell between their sides . When released , he was found to le horribly mutilated , and died in a few hours at the . London Hospital , after amputation of the left leg .

. . ... . . ¦ ¦ V ¦ . ; . London , Friday Evening , October 3 , 185 G . Since our last , the English funrls and other securities have undergone considerable lluctuations . Consols , which left off on Monday at 92 | J , fell on the following d ? . y ( Tuesday ) to 92 f i , owing partly , no doubt , to the public conlidence having been shaken , by the aspect of aflairs in Italy , but also in great measure to the state of the Continental Money Markets . On AVcdnesday tlio Bank of England raised their rate of discount from 4 £ percent ., at which it has now stood for some months , to 5 per cent , Tliis increased the tendency to depression in the Consol market , the more , perhaps , that the step was taken the day before the usual meeting of the Bank Court . . On the following day ( Thursday ) the market opened -with still increased heaviness , Consols falling to 92 J A , owing to the impression that the Bank would , on the reassembling of the Court , make a still further advance in the rates . These anticipations , howeTer , were not realized , and Consols recovered during the day i per cent ., closing S 2 HThis morning' ( Friday ) French prices Ca , me much better , upon which Consols have advanced to 934 7 > showing arise of a clear 1 per cent , since yesterday morning . The Six per Cent . Turks have experienced a great drop during tho last few days , having been done at 98 A for 15 th October account . They have , however , recovered with Consols , and aro now at par . A telegraphic announcement arrived yesterday that the Legislative Council have sanctioned a guarantee of 6 per cent , to the Ceylon Railway Company . This sent them up immediately fronii I pm ., at which they stood on the previous day . to lj f pen . Consols closed to-day 92 | 3 .
