and most private character; but in the chapel, to do honor to his obsequies, were assembled all the chiefest men of the State, and throughout England, by every sign of sorrow and mourning, the nation manifested its sense of the loss it has sustained. Windsor itself wore an aspect of the most profound gloom. Every shop was closed and every blind drawn down. The streets were silent and almost deserted, and all who appeared abroad were dressed in the deepest mourning. The great hell of Windsor Castle changed out its doleful sound at intervals from an early hour, and minute bells were tolled also at St. John's Church. At the parish church of Clewer and at St. John's there were services in the morning and afternoon, and the day was observed throughout the royal borough in the strictest manner. The weather was in character with the occasion, a chill, damp sir, with a dull, leaden sky above, increased the gloom which hung over all. There were but few. visitors in the town, for the

Splendid does --The following copied from a late New York paper, will interest all fanciers of the canine race: Mr. Francis Butler has shown us two of the largest and most powerful dogs we have ever seen. These noble animals, leonine in size and strength, which he calls Prince and Bruno, were bred by him, on his place at Bushwick, Long Island. Prince, the Siberian bloodhound, is nephew to the renowned Giant Prince, with whom Mr. B. was introduced to the Queen at Windsor Castle, when Her Majesty was pleased to entitle him the King of Dogs. Yet his successor, the subject of the present sketch, although but ten months old, promises fair to outstrip him in beauty and muscular proportions. Even now he trots carelessly along with a boy of fourteen upon his back. He is already over seven feet in length, thirty-four inches in height, and weighs about one hundred and sixty pounds; color, black and white spotted; short hair. Bruno's color is black and tan, with long flowing hai

rrespondent, in alluding to the recent marriage of the Prince of Wales, says: The marriage of the Prince of Wales was to him a blessed relief from the calls of artists of various sorts — crayon, oil color, water-color, sculptors, photographers. He was doing harder work than any hired model for weeks before the wedding. He was sitting for his full length picture to Mr. Walton, R. A., and for his bust to Mr. Marshall Wood, the sculptor of the Daphne, so much admired in the exhibition. Mr. Mayall, the photographer, took him in all attitudes, and when he went to Belgium, Mr. Ghemar seized his every expression. The bust mentioned is colossal, intended for a figure twelve feet high, and is to be duplicated for various council chambers throughout the realm, as well as for the McGill College at Montreal. Mr. Walton's portrait of Albert Edward represents him in a blue coat and gray trousers, with hat in hand, near Windsor Castle; in it the resemblance to George III, is very clear.

rlanger, the contractor for the Confederate loan, was, a few years since, only a small broker for the negotiation of bills of exchange at Frankfort on the Maine. The Prince of Tour and Taxis, who need to farm the postal diligence service in Germany and amassed a large fortune, finding him clever, assisted him, and now we find him negotiating loans. Erlanger's profit on the transaction is rumored to be at least a quarter of a million. During the preparation for the royal wedding at Windsor Castle some of the artisans employed suddenly struck for higher wages, and for a time it appeared as if the hymeneal day of the Prince and Princess would be rendered comparatively decollate by unfinished scaffolding, roofings marquees, unficored saloons, and other evidences of interrupted labor. The terms of the disaffected workmen were finally acceded to. The Hon. Mrs. F. Stoner, the newly appointed bed-chamber woman to the Princess of Wales, is the youngest daughter of the late Sir Robe

It takes a Parisian editor at least twenty-four hours to get his ideas in shape in so important a matter. It is said that the applause was very faint upon Mexico, but overwhelming when the Emperor spoke of the annihilation of the treaties of 1815. In regard to the divorce case in which Lord Palmerston's name figures so conspicuously, it is stated that his honor is perfectly safe and that the whole charge is solemnly denied. Meantime Lord Palmerston is on a visit to the Queen, at Windsor Castle, and will be a guest at the Lord Mayor's banquet on the 9th of November. The Eco delle Altra.

So far as could be observed, there does not appear to be any material difference in the milking qualities of the older as compared with the newer families. Nowhere can be seen more clearly, in all its combined merits, the unrivalled practical utility of the Short-Horn; the dairyman's cow when in "profit," the butcher's when not in milk. Let the doubters go and see. There are fifty-eight short-horn cows in milk at the present time, together with fourteen Alderneys, for the supply of cream, milk, and butter, both for Windsor Castle and for Buckingham Palace and when the Queen goes to these places. The and Darry farms are exclusively the lovely Devons, and where the massive Herefords hold their reign," are much farther from the castle, and are both committed to the charge of Mr. Brebner, under the superintendence of General Hood.

wo or three hours by the passage of the stupidest of all processions, and the civic proceedings terminated with the usual aldermanic feast at the Guildhall. The usual speeches were there made, some of them by Her Majesty's ministers, and Lord Palmerston had the bad taste to indulge in one of his stereotyped slurs against the United States. The rejoicing, so far as the Prince of Wales was concerned, were of a more extensive and hearty character than usual. The Prince himself was at Windsor Castle, as the Queen persists in never setting foot in London if she can possibly avoid it, but the bells rang throughout the day, and the illuminations at night were numerous and gorgeous. The Prince seems daily growing in the affections of the people. Certainly he and his wife spend the quarter of a million dollars the people furnish them yearly out of their own pockets in the most easy and graceful manner. They pay Lord Derby a visit next week, and afterwards retire until Christmas to the
