The Earl Of Derby Died At Knowsley-Park,...
The Earl of Derby died at Knowsley-park , on Monday . He was the eon of the 12 th Earl , by the only daughter of the sixth Duke of Hamilton . He was born on the 21 st of April , 1775 , and married in the domestic chapel at Knowaley on the 30 th of June , 1798 , to his cousin , the second daughter of » he Keverend Geoffrey Hornby .

" At Rome , Dyce Sombre built a cenotaph to the Begum , which has become famous ; and Cardinal Wiseman preached her funeral oration .
General Radowitz Has Bought A House At E...
General Radowitz has bought a house at Erfurt , where he will remain . The second part of his work , " Conversations on State and Church , " is about to be published . Count de Mulinen , formerly Minister of Wurtemberg at Paris , returning late in the evening of the 21 st of June to the house in which he lived near Thoune , mistook the road , and fell over a precipice . His collar-bone was broken , and , in addition , his brain was so much injured that be died on the 23 rd . The police of Florence have ordered the Marquis Ferd . Bartolommei to reside six months in his country house at Casennove under the surveillance of the police , or , if he-prefers it , to leave Tuscany for the same space of time . The reason 6 tated for this measure is , that he has several times secretly excited disturbances , and that his presence in a populous place is dangerous to public
peace . A report reached Frankfort on the 27 th ultimo , that the Duke of Gotha , while taking a bath at the chateau at Kallenberg , remarked that one of the water-pipes was stopped up by some substance , and he ordered a stick to be run through to clear it , from the other side . The order was too quickly obeyed . The Duke was still looking through the pipe when the attendant unknowingly thrust a stick through it , the end of which struck the Duke ' s eye with such force that he fainted from pain , and was carried to his room in a state of
unconsciousness . The fate of Abd-el-Kader is occupying much attention at present . Lord Londonderry read a note in the House of Lords on Monday night from " Prince Napoleon " upon the subject—not at all satisfactory , but full of sympathy . La Presse is nearly alone among the Parisian journals in boldly counselling the liberation of the great Arab . Emile de Girardin writes : —" The journal Le Pays announces that the question relative to the cessa tion of the captivity of Abd-el Kader is about to receive a definitive solution . Has the nephew of the Emperor Napoleon , at present President of the Republic , at last found under his hand a copy of the ' Memorial de Sainte Heene ? ' If it be so , the author of the ' Note of the 14 th December ' will only have to congratulate the elect of the 10 th December on this measure , in which the honour of France is more interested than is thought . "
The Hindoo Intelligencer announces the death of one of the seventeen wives of Dinnoonauth Mokerjee , which melancholy event consequently leaves the said Mokerjee the seventeenth part of a desolate widower . A Roman Catholic priest has been tried and cast in 1600 dollars damages , for seduction , at New York . On Sunday evening some stupid scoundrel penetrated to the " Encampment of All Nations , " in the Symposium , and succeeded in cutting off and carrying away twentyfive yards of the monster tablecloth which formed one of the attractions at Gore-house , and was certainly a triumph of British manufacture .
A " Suffolk Rector , " moved by the " calumnies " directed against the Bishop of London , writes to the Post to vindicate the long-suffering prelate , and tells the following anecdote : — "From him many a saddened scholar —many a struggling undergraduate—many a literary man overtaken by sudden misfortune—has received welcome relief . A writer of mark , now sunned by public favour , has more than once told me that he ' was saved from meditated suicide t > y opportune and generous help tendered him , with many a kind and encouraging remark , by the compassionate bishop . ' In other quarters cold advice , heartless excuses , and morbid curiosity goaded him . The bishop gave—cordially — promptly—and with cheering looks and words . One such fact as this should , methinks , silence a host of backbiters . "
The Nenaqh Guardian tells the story of an elopement near Lough Derg , which the editor seems to relish amazingly . The lovers , of course thwarted by a cantankerous father , were resolved to wed . Mr . Blank ( what a . pity it is the journal won ' t give names !) declared that he could not exist without Miss Blank , and an elopement was decided on . "Accordingly , " continues our delighted author , " Mr . repaired to the dwelling of his beloved one , and at the dead and silent hour of midnight cautiously uppruiiched under her bedroom window , to
the sill of which he fautened a ladder composed of ropes , and speciully made for the occasion . Immediately after up went the window—out popped the young lady ' s head ( who , besides posse ning personal attractions , nnd admired beauty , has a thousand substantial charms ) , with a step of agility she descended the ladder , and in an instant she was in the arms of him she loved dearest on earth . Having got into a chaise , away they drove at a rapid rate , and their whereabouts has not since liccii heard of . The' only notification Mr . got of his daughter ' s elopement was by ' perceiving the luddcr suspended from her bedroom window . *'*'
1 he Bristol Cazette tells a curious story respecting the night wunderiugi * of a Bleep-walking visitor of Miss Sellon : — "Our readers are aware thut a branch estahlitihment of the 'Sinters <> f Mercy' of Devonport has been founded in Bristol . The chief location is in Lower College-green . With undoubted honesty of purpose , but with duhioiiH discretion , the 'Sinters' have likewise tuken u house in a place called ' llari ' urd ' a-court , ' in close propinquity to one of the lowest and most degraded quarter * of tho town . Ou tho 20 th of Juno a young
lady arrived at the latter place from Devouport , on a visit to Miss Sellon . She was considerably fatigued by her journey , and some recent painful events had much distressed her . She retired early to rest , and Miss Sellon left her in safety to proceed on a visit of charity . On her return Miss Sellon was astonished to find her visitor absent . Search was made , but she could not be found ; and Miss Sellon determined > o apply for assistance to the Rev . Mr . Barrow , the clergyman of the parish , who immediately went to the police , and by their means traced the young lady to the Artichoke Tavern under the Bank . From what can be gathered , it would seem that
the young lady , who is a foreigner , and speaks English imperfectly , must , in a fit of somnambulism or delirium , have risen from her bed , and found her way into the streets , with little more on than her night-clothes . Here she was accosted by a woman , and by her put into a fly , by the driver of which she was taken to the Artichoke . When Miss Sellon and Mr . Barrow got there , at two o'clock in the morning , the young lady most eagerly welcomed them , and immediately returned with Miss Sellon home . It is with regret that we add , that th » shock which the nervous system has sustained is so great that the life of the young lady is considered to be in . danger . "
The Exposition. The Bum Taken At The Doo...
THE EXPOSITION . The Bum taken at the doors on Saturday was £ 1590 16 s ., and the number of persons visiting the building , 11 , 601 . The weather was excessively hot , and great complaints were made at the building respecting the imperfect ventilation ; but we must confess that it did not seem any too hot . The watering was serviceable ; but unless precautions be taken to lay the dust in the sandy desert at the east end of the building , the project of throwing open both ends of the nave would , we fear , fill America at least , with dust . There was a very considerable falling off in the numbpr of visitors on Monday , the police returns giving 52 , 879 as the total , while the receipts at the doors amounted to £ 2469 16 s . The excessive heat of the
weather is probably the cause , for there is no reason to believe that the Crystal Palace is as yet losing its attractiveness with the masses . By a constant use of hand watering-carts and cans , and by removing the glass partitions ayhe eastern and western ends , the interior was kept pretty cool throughout the day , and the temperature must have been considerably lower than it was outside . The police returns for Tues ' ay aWd . Wednesday show a further decrease . On Tuesday the number of visitors was 51 , 069 , and the amount taken at the doors £ 2429 10 s . The interior was exceedingly cool and agreeable during the day , and there would no doubt have been a larger attendance but for the showers that fell during the morning and the afternoon . On Wednesday 49 , 399 people emered the building , and the receipts amounted to £ 2363 18 s .
The presence of charity children still continues to form an agreeable feature of each day's incidents . The girls of St . Olave ' s school were rnabled to go on Wednesday by the liberality of Mr . Ex Sneriflf Pilcher ; and the trustees of the Broad-street Ward school also treated their scholars to an inspection of the interior . The Queen , Prince Albert , and the King of the Belgians , were also there in the morning . On Thursday the numbers were 55 , 638 , and the receipts amounted to £ 2662 9 s .
It Is Recommended That All Wtio Come As ...
It is recommended that all wtio come as strangers to the Exhibition should , on entering , examine carefully the large plan which is displayed at the south side of the transept , from the information contained in which they will be enabled to find their way much more easily to the points which most engage their curiosity . This plan has been chiefly prepared by Corporals Buker and Mack , of the Sappers , and is a most creditable performance . The Stockholm journals announce that the King has issued orders to the l ' ost-office department to get ready the p . jtket-steamer Nordstjerna , for the purpose of conveying between Beventy and eighty manufacturer and intelligent workmen to the Thames , in order to visit the Crystal Palace . The vessel is to sail from Gottenburg upon the " Kith July . The travellers will be allowed a fortnight ' s time for their excursion , exclusivo of the voyage .
