London. Mr Murray, a Tory, has been elected for Buteshire, in the place of the Right Hon. J. P. B. Robertson, Q. C, recently appointed Lord Justice General of Scotland. Westminister Abbey was crowded with notables at the funeral of the late Right Hon W. H. Smith. The Agents-General for the colonies were all present. It is expected Mrs Smith will be made a peeress in her own right. Her Majesty the Queen sent a wreath to be placed on the late W. H. Smith's coffin. The wreath bore the following inscription ; — " A mark of sincere gratitude for devoted services both to Sovereign and Country." The funeral of Mr Parnell was very orderly. Over 30,000 viewed the body while it was lying in state in the City Hall, Dublin. , All the members of Parliament who supported Mr Parnell were in the cortege, which numbered 200,000, and extended for four miles. Many bands took part in the tuneral, but no priests followed. The service at the grave was finished in the dark. The offices of the Freeman's Journal and National Press were guarded by police.
