J_ FUNERAL OF THE MARCHIONESS OF BUTE. (From the Cambridge Chronicl.) On Tuesday,Sept. 21st, in the parish church of Kit tling, in this county, the remains of Iaria North, Marchioness of Bate, were deposited in a vault belongirw to the North familv, which had not been opt tied for the reception of any corpse for upwards of 150 years. Below we give an extract from a letter from Cowlinge, near Newmarket, dated Sep. 22nd, 11:>11 Yesterday was a mournful day in the adjoining parish ( in consi quence. of the funeral of the late lamented Marchioness of Bute, v. ho was brought fr lint YVnliner, where she died, to be inteneo in the vault of the North family. The tenantry having requested to be permitted to escort the procession when it arrived in the neighbour- hood, which was kindly aiC did to, they, with her ladyship's bmd steward at their head.met the hearse with six horses and three mourning coaches andfour,at Saxon street, near the borders of the estate,and preceded the procession on horsehack to the Tower, (which is part of the ancient residence of the IJarons North, of Kirtlin; and has recently been coti,-crtc-d into a sm,,Il residence for the tise of tbc family, and fr-m thence to the church yard, where the hearse was met by the noble Miirquis as chief mourner, his brow.er. Lord James Stewart. Lonl Stewart lie Kotbsay. Lord Sheffield, Col. North, Mr Criehton Stewart, and Mr De Grave, con- ducted by the tenantry on foot to tiie church door, and from thence to a brick grave within the family vault. "In the vault whirl. wa li¡h:ed up with wax candles, I noticed several coffins containing the remains of her ladyship's ancestors, from the year 1554, downwards. At Saxon street, t herew as a great number of persons assembled to witness the mournful ceremony which increased as the procession moved on in an amazing degree, and on reaching the church yard, it seemed as if nearly the whole population of Kirtling and Ashley (where her ladyship's estates are situate) were got together, and also an immense concourse of person ■! from the adjoininsr parishes, of the yeomanry and their families, and particularly >>f the poor, insomuch that the clitircli, a large one, would not hold them all. Every person present, the poor in particu^r, shewed a sincere sorrow for the loss they had sustained in such a benefactress and well they might, for ever since her ladyship came to these estates, their comfort and welfare has been her chief consideration. The farm tenants, from the liberality and kindness thev have always -experienced from the late Marchioness and his lordship, were fully impressed with the extent of the loss that they had sustained. "The mannerin which all the melancholy arrange- ments were conducted by Mr Spain, of Deal, the undertaker, were highly creditable to hi.n. I understand that her ladyship havintr expressed a wish to build some almshouses in the parish, his Lord- ship lia; declared his intention of having them erected forthwith."

It is with feelings of great regret that we have to announce the total destruction of the matrnincent mansion of Lord Dinorben, near St. Asaph, in Fiiut- shtie. We learn that the fire was first seen issuing from the sleeping apartment ot Lady Dinorben, between 9 aud 10 o'clock on Monday night. The Pengwinn engine shortly alter arrived and played over the iron and stone room, where the plate was kept, and the whole contents of that closet were safely removed and conveyed to Sir John Williams's residence, at tiie end of tile park. By this timp. the Haines had ascended to the copper roof, but the state apartments and the lower rooms were yet safe, which enabled the spectators to remove the pictures, the books, and nearly ail the furniture Irom the state apartments, tiie dining, and also the servants' rooms below. Her ladyship's jewellery was entirely preserved. Nothing now remains of this vast editice but the massive marble pillars of the great hall. The copper from the root poured down in sheets of liquid tire. The house was commenced by the father of his lordship in the year 1780 and finished in 1783. Since that time the present owner has added to the pile several rooms and out offices, comprising upwards of 50 beds lor strangers. ihe gentry and peasantry were all completely knocked up by incessant exertions during the night. t> At a numerous atid highly respectable meeting of merchants antl others at the Mansion bouse on Friday, it was resolved 10 present some testimony to the pro- prietors of the Times in token of thanks for the exertions made and expenses incurred by them in exposing a nest of commercial swindlers, as detailed jn the trial" Bogle v Lawsou,

ORGAN IN THE CATHEDRAL CHURCH OF LLANDAFF. While in more lengthen'd notes and slow The deep, majestic, solemn organs blow" PorE. To the Editor of the Advertiser and Guardian SIR,—Your remarks on the ;,bore subject in yotif columns of the 2nd instant, induces iiic to express my surprise that it has been suffered to remain so long unnoticed. In these days of science and of song," when the Divine art of music is so much cultivated,—when we read the accounts of the intro- duction of that noble instrument, into the country Churches* in the hitherto uncultivated wilds of our mountain land," and when we hear, in the differ- ent towns and cities through which we pass, the soul-stirring sounds of the pealing organ," ascend- ing forth from so many small dissenting places of worship, it is certainly a matter of regret, and carries the appearance of great apathy and a want of true devotional spirit on the part of those connected with her, that our venerable Cathedral Church, the foun- tain-head of the diocese, should have so long lacked this great addition to her beautiful services. It is now, I believe, nearly a century ago since an ancestor of the present ancient family of Cern Mablv> in this county, presented the Cathedral with r.U organ, and if there be not to be found in the present day one individual, possessed of the means, princely- minded enough to follow so good an example, perhaps an appeal to the many may have the desired elfeet. I have heard the salary of an orgatiwt put forth as an objection against having an instrument, but surely the spirit, both of the many rev. gentlemen connected with the Chapter, and of the resident gentry and others attached to the establishment, would not suffer so trifling an impediment to stand in the way. If I may be allowed to suggest the means, I should say a small annual subscription from each would suffice to remove that objection. In the event of a subscription being set on foot, I shall feel great pleasure in contributing my mite either towards the instrument, or for a person to perform upon itt or indeed to both if necessary. You, Sir, have kindled a spark which I have thus humbly endeavoured to fan into a flame. I shall now leave the subject and trust it will be taken up by some one more competent to the task, and hoping the flame may go on increasing until it be extin- guished only by the attainment of the desired object. Remain, Sir, Yours respectfully, Oct. 6th, 1S41. BETA. Blaina and Trevethin.

To the Editor of the Advertiser and Guardian. ,Si it, I n the report of the investigation which took place last week, with respect to the melancholy acci- dent at the Penydarren Iron Works, there appeared as part of the verdict of the jury what 1 consider it to he a duty to myself and family to prove erroneouSt and this I do without imputing the conclusion they arrived at to anything more in them than they judged to have been betrayed by me, namely, ignorance'' ■Nothing can be more satisfactorily proved than that I had on the day on which this awlul accident oc- curred, done all that I am required to do, and had found nothing wanting as far as there was a possibility of ascertaining by me, who am continually going from engine to engine and cannot without being actu dly present at each of them, know whether th« supply of water is at every moment what it ought to he. I fence it is evident that my care alone cannot render it impossible for accidents to occur, and that 1 can be answerable only for the condition of the engine at the times ol actual inspection, between which in- tervals must occur in which neglect, or ignorance, 01 both, may produce what I am by no means answer- both, may produce what I am by no means answer- able for. Trusting you will insert these lines in your next, and that it may obtain the same circulation as the report. I remain, sir. yours obediently, THOMAS LKWIS, Superintendant.

The business was chit fly confined to the presenta- tion of petitions. WEDNESDAY. In answer to questions from Mr T. Duneombe and Mr Ewart, Sir Robert IVel expressed his willingness to give cordial support to any practicable measure fur the prevention of bribery and intimidation. The worst eases he heard of had occurred in large towns, indeed in the capitals of counties; and if the election petitions which had been presented were preserved in as he hoped thev would In', and such a system as be had described were proved to have prevailed, he should tli!! utmost satisfaction in making examples of those 1,-irsfe towns without reference to politics, by their total disfranchisement. Mr WAKLEY moved for a return of the persons confined illlullatic asylums during the past aud present year. Mr BARING complained with some bitterness of thestatement made on Monday evening by the Duke ol W ellington, that, the public accounts had been left i" so imperfect a state with respect to the unliquidated demands on the Treasury, as to make it impossible tor the Government at present to mature any measure of ways aud means. Mr. GOLTLBURN vindicated the statement of the Duke; upon which Lord Palmerston rose to the res- cue, and taxed the new Ministry with trusting to the chapter of accidents. Sir IL Peel cxprrssed his sur- prise that such a charge should proceed from a Cabi- net which for the years had been subsisting 011 that very chapter. The House then adjourned:

To the Editor of the Advertiser and Guardian. Sin,—1 have read the short paragraph in yoaf paper of the 2nd inst., relative to the scandalous I laggot votes at Dowlais, and I can certify to tho I truth of the remarks therein made. Independent of the obstructions to serving the noticcs, the very form of the claims almost defies enquiry. For instance:— John Humphreys. Dowlais leasehold houses, Dowlais> Thomas Davies, ditto, ditto, top of Dowlais. David Davies, ditto, ditto, Dou-lais. Thomas Williams, ditto, diito, near DOldais yardell, &c. &c. &c. Now, where there are many hundreds of the name of Thomas Davies, David Davies, Thomas Williams* &c., what "description" is the foregoing? it is actually none. An enquiry for such persons is just as likely to be satisfactory, as an enquiry in Loudon would he for :\1r. Williams of Wales. If this wholesale manufacture is allowed to go 011 longer, the county will be swamped by the Dowlais Monopolist, whose iron it is to be hoped is of a better quality than his votes. In addition to this shuffling "description," the Radical Autocrat of Dowiais is still carrying on the spiteful game of wanton objections. Among olher6 objected to in this parish, was a gentleman of pro- perty, fully as large, and certainly as old, as that ot Sir J. J. Guest; his property being also wholly UNENCCMtiEitiii), and therefore affording no prete,-it for so impotent and malicious a proceeding. The same personal hostility has, I am told, bepn perpetra- ted against the same gentleman's tenants in the lowet part of the county, and repeated year after year, notwithstanding previous decisions iu their favour. trust that an act will be shortly passed levving heavy penalty on such wanton and malicious ohjlJc tions, and that, in addition to such penalty, the frivolous objector shall be obliged to pav ail the travelling and other expenses of the party objected to- Your obedient servant, A FKFEHOLDER.
