The funeral of the late Mrs Joseph Cummerneld was very largely attended on Wednesday afternoon. The 'procession on foot, horseback, and conveyances reaching from near her late residence to the Courthouse corner. Tlie Rev. Mr Harris conducted the service at the grave, and Mr Coe led tlie singing of the hymn "Thy Will be Done." The coffin was/literally covered with wreaths .of flowers and crosses, sent to the 'house, and deposited by loving hands on the coffin at the cemetery. We noticed all classes present, and friends from Palmerston and elsewhere, thus testifying to the high estimation in which the departed lady was, and her husband still ia held in. A Mr Murray, who was called as a witness on the inquest held on Wednesday, endeavoured to impress the Coroner and the jury with'the amount of business he has to attend to. He was called because it-ap- . pfeared that he was the last, person Allan jtyoketo, and when the witness was asked. \ as to what time in the day this happsned'. "Said he could not be'- sure,, as so many' •people were always talking to him, but lie thought it was in the afternoon. Upon being again afiked if he could not recall whether it was not the morning, as perhaps lie had had his dinner, or was' waiting for it, he replied that he really could not say, he was always so busy, that it might have occurred after dinner. The Coroner made one more effort to try to fix the time of day on this troubled man, and pointed put that as three other witnesses had mentioned the unfortunate death had occurred early in the morning, mightn't it have been the morning, when the witness said it might havebeeu the morning, but as peoplewere speaking to him every hour of the day he could not ■ ay, he was too busy to take any notice of the time. This only shows the alteration there is in tlie trade of the town. We were glad to notice that Mr Buxton, the traffic manager, was at the wharf on Thursday, and saw the three stenuershard ■at work, with the little Ivy also alongside the (Jueen of the South, taking in coal. He was able to 1 see the wharf taxed to its. utmost, as well as the shedding accommodation, the long shed bei- g stacked with bales of hemp to the roof, and the carriage shed also full. . - The Willie McLaren, a barque of 580 ' tons, Captain Salmon, bound from Newcastle to Welliugtou with a load of coal, sunk in Worser Bay on Saturday. She struck lightly on a rock close to Pinnacle Rock ot 4. 50, and commenced to niakc water. The captain ran for Worser Bay and arichbral and set the steam pump to work, but after a while one of- the cogwheels came off. The crew shortly after abandoned the sinking vessel. Both vessel .and cargo are owned by Captain Salmon, and are wholly uninsured. The s.s. Charles Edward, Napier, and Queen of the South arrived at the wharf on Thursday morning. .
