It was also stated , that two other nuns hai previously been buried in the same ground , without their deaths being registered . The Lady Superior admitted the alleged facts , but pleaded ignorance of the la"W . 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 five months , was rejected .

Afterwards , he sent 3 / . to be divided between the enginemen and porters . Coroners' Inquest into Fires .- —Mr .

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 , but we should be 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 ia favoured with a soil which , on the whole , id 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 aright to hope and believe that he can maintain the proud position which he at present occupies . "
The Chancellor of jthe Exchequer at Radnor . — Sir G . Come wall Lewis presided on Wednesday 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 tLe return of Colonel Fremont was to depend upon the . application of this sum of 5 , 000 , OOOZ ., he would not recommend that gentleman to be very sanguine about his success . ( Hear and laugJiter . ") After some other toasts had been drunk , Sir G . 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 Cur . —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 authority over dangerous buildings in tie Cjty ; 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 in their evidence at the inquest before the coroner , . that they never called the attention of your officer , on 3 iis inspection , or of the
police , to the dangerous condition , of the house . Undei these circumstances , it appears to us , that all you could iii any way do in the case was done , and that the accident in question arose from causes that were not within tlie observation of your officers , Avhich , indeed , ia also distinctly stated by the district surveyor in his evidence at the inquest . It is tlie duty of your inspectors , who are practically conversant with building matters , in their general house survey for sanitary purposes , to remaik and inform the district surveyors of any appearances of a dangerous charact-er in the buildings thej visit , and we have every reason to know that these officers < lo perform their duty in this respect . " The report was unanimously agreed to .

The late John Sadleir . —The affairs of the suicide were brouglit 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 in 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 the 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 fiiat made and deposited in the registry .

A Small Whale was discovered last Saturday on Ulvcrston sands , anil , after an exciting chase , was kaied . Funeral of Lord Hardingk . —The remains of Lord Hardingo were buried on Wednesday in the churchyard of the little village of Fordcomb .
