Foseral of Earl . Fitzhiardinge . —The Morning Post is full of sorrowing details of the funeral of the * lamented noblemaa who once made Berkeley Castle famous . Mr . Jenkins records that ' the occasion was observed with great solemnity , ' all the houses in the vicinity being closed . Owing to the express wish of the late nobleman , the funeral was conducted with less heraldic pomp than has been usual in the family—which is nothing more than what we always hear on these occasions . Yet the body lay in ' a sort of semi-state in the great hall , and the coffin , which was made of British oak , grown on the estate , was " covered with rich Genoa crimson velvet , the nails , breastplate , and furniture being of silver-gilt On the . breastplate was engraved
the coronet and armorial bearings , and the following inscription : —* William Fitzhardinge Earl Fitzhardinge , of Berkeley Castle , in the county of Gloucester , claiming as of right to be Earl of Berkeley by descent , and Baron de Berkeley by tenure . Born Dec . 26 . 1786 . Died Oct . 10 , 1857 . ' The coffin was borne from Berkeley Castle to the church , without pall or covering , upon a funeralcar drawn by his Lordship ' s favourite four greys . The car was hung -with black cloth , and had the family arms emblazoned on both sides , and the horses were plumed with , black feathers , and had hangings of black velvet with the arms in colours . The car was driven by the Earl ' s favourite . coachman , the horses being led by the chief huntsman , the stud groom , and two of the hunt
¦ whi ps . The cortege was attended by upwards of a hundred of the tenantry attired in deep mourning , by the Rev . Dr . Moreton Brown , of Cheltenham , who had been the Eari ' s spiritual counsellor in his last illness , by his Lordship ' s medical attendants , his three stewards , and numerous domestics . " Thus Jenkins ; but , to our plebeian gaze , the ceremony seems somewhat stately and patrician , though we are enjoined to think the contrary . The absence of Mr . Grantley Berkeley was much remarked . He arrived at the castle on the night previous to the funeral , which took place last Saturday , and his name and place were printed on the undertaker ' s programme ; but , about an hour before the procession left the castle , Mr . Grantley Berkeley suddenly quitted it , and left the neighbourhood by the Midland Railway .
L < ori > El ^ enborough ox India .. —An address to the members of the "VVinchcomb Agricultural Association has been published by L > ord Ellenborough urging the country gentlemen and farmers to do their utmost to obtain recruits to keep up our miltary establishments . The Earl saya : — " Be assured that the military institutions , of this country , managed as they are now , are insufficient permanently to supply the number of men required to reconquer what we have lost , and to hold our empire hereafter in security . It is only through a change in those institutions , which no minister would willingly propose , or through a great practical improvement in the ¦ working of them , which your co-operation may supply , that tlie necessary force can be maintained . I anx satisfied that the principle upon which our militia is now founded , that of voluntary enlistment is the one
most acceptable to the people ; and I feel assured that a militia maintained at its full complement , as it may be , and can only be by the patriotic exertions of country gentlemen and farmers , is the best foundation of our military system . Employ in the obtaining of recruits for the militia but half the zeal you would display in getting votfi 3 at an election , and you will certainly succeed . 1 ask you only to do what I know you can do , and what I feel you ought to do , for the assistance of the country in thia critical juncture of our affairs . It is impossible to over-estimate its importance . There ia nothing man holda dear for which we have not now to fight . If we should not bear ourselves manfully in the contest thus forced upon us—if we should not succeed in it—we must be content , not only to lose the noblest
empire in the world , but to make the nnmo of Englishmen a byword of shame among nations . Do you suppose that , if we could submit to this in India , wo should not be threatened with it in England ? Do you imagine that the great military powers of Europe , which are always prepared for war , which arc offended by o « r pride and resentful of our former victories , and which , covet our present wealth , would long permit us to enjoy in peace the luxuries wo cling to and the dreams of irresistible strength in which we foolishly indulge ? Ue assured that if , under the strongest necessity ever imposed upoti a pcofilc , we do not rise as one man to vindicate out national honour and to re-estublish our Indian empire , the horrors we read of with shuddering aa perpetrated at Mccrut and at Delhi will not for over bo averted from our island home . "
Australia . —The political news from Australia still further prepares our minds in England for great changes in that part of the British Empire- Certain squatting clauses of a Land Bill had , in opposition to the inhabitants of Melbourne , been carried through the Legislature ; and the measure for abolishing state grants to religion had also , in accordance witli public opinion , passed the committee ordeal . The Mount Ararat gold diggings were spoken of as more than ever rich and productive . A bill had been introduced into the Legislature for laying a tax upon those Chinese people who go to reside in Victoria , no doubt for the purpose of restraining their numbers and preventing the colony from being infested with their brutal habits . The Chinese bad adopted the English plan of holding a public meeting to protest against the measure . Commercial affairs in Victoria were in an unsatisfactory state . —Morning Star .
The Siamese Ambassadors . —We learn , from our Malta correspondent ( says the Times ) that among the passengers on board her Majesty ' s despatch steamer Caradoc , which arrived at Malta on the 8 th . ult ., were the three Siamese Ambassadors—Phgor Montri Suri-3 'wmgsi , Chamun Sulbedh . Cbaity , and Chamun Mix Dir Bidacks—accompanied by a numerous suite . Upon their arrival , they were saluted by her Majesty ' s ship Hibernta and afterwards by Fort St . Angelo . They were received at the palace by his Excellency the Governor , Sir William Reid , and Rear-Admiral Sir Montagu Stopford , with their respective staffs . Their Excellencies took up their abode at the Imperial Hotel , much , it is said , to their dissatisfaction , as they expected
they would have been the guests , according to the custom of their country , of the Governor . In the evening , attended by Commander Clavering , R . N ., of the Caradoc , they were present in the Governor ' s box at the Opera , vhere the richness and novelty of their costume attracted much attention , and on the following morning Lieutenant-General Sir John Penn « father had the troops out in review order on the Floriana parade ground , in honour of their arrival . Their Excellencies were to leave Malta by the Caradoc for Englaud direct on the 10 th or 11 th . They eat freely of game , poultry , pork , and curry of the very hottest at every meal . They drink moderately of brandy , wine , champagne , and pale ale . They are very fond of tea , which they drink at every meal , and all dav long , without milk . They eat
no pastry or sweets . Eight of the principal members of the embassy dine together ; the others , excepting servants Lave a separate table , and pay great respect and homage -whenver they address one of the superior eight . They are very cleanly , and all make a point of bathing every day . Their teeth are black from the use of the betel-nut . They have all sorts of European articles for ordinary purposes . They have splendid presents on board for her Majesty , among them two crowns and a lady ' s saddle , enriched with diamonds , rubies , and other precious stones , spears with gold heads , &c . They have also 50 , 000 £ in dollars on board , besides bars of gold , so tmey are tolerably well provided . They dress is very splendid—a rich tunic with a belt of . gold clasped in front -with a buckle ornamented with diamonds and
rubies ; loose trousers , and small richly-ornamented skull-cap , with a spire running from the top . A Long-namisi > Indian . —From the sublime to the ridiculous ! In the Madras papeTs we find a copy of a letter addressed to " His Highness Sree Pulmanabha Dausa Vanche Bala Martanda Vurmali Koola Shukara Keereda Pathco Bazhiodia It sun Rajah Biiador Mun-nuy Sultan Mnha Jtnjiih Kujah Shuiuuhcer Jung Rajah of Travancore , and signed " Harris 1 " His Highness Sree Pulmanabha , &c , of Travancore , has , wo are glad to see , subscribed 5000 rupees to the relief fund , with his good wishes and fervent prayers for peace and tranquillity . Thia contribution is announced iu a letter , the ( signature of which ia omitted , probably from want of room , and ia acknowledged in that the address and signature of which we have above recorded . —Bombay Courier .
