The cholera has again broken out with great severity in the Liverpool workhouse. Several deaths from the disease have also occurred at Llanelly. An audacious robbery was committed a few -nights since by a thief who tad obtained an entry into the residence of the . Duke de Mouchy, in the Rue de l'Elsee. The duke was awoke by hearing a noise in his bed-room, and on asking who was there, received the reply of" Do not move, or you are a dead man." The duke nevertheless raised an alarm by ringing a bell, and on his servants answering the summons, the house was searched, but no traces could be found of the intruder, who had made off, taking with him some articles of jewellery. The question of Sunday funerals has been taken up by the authorities of the various local cemeteries andburial-grounds of Liverpool, who recently held a meeting to discuss the question at the Town-hall. The mayor was in the chair, and the majority of the meeting resolved that no' funerals should in future take place on Sundays after 9 a.m. Matthew Anderson, formerly of the Scots Greys, died at Xilmarnock on the 2nd of July. He was the last of those of the Scots Greys who fought at "Waterloo. He was a young soldier then, and Waterloo was his first engagement, as it was nis last. He served for 21 years in the army, and at the termination of this period was discharged with a pension. Anderson a few years ago married a woman who was at the time a widow and many years his senior. She was 60 years of age when she first made up her mind to become a wife.

In addition to the Irish memorial in Dublin, and the one to be erected on the "Welburn Canks, near Malton, certain of the admirers of the late Earl of Carlisle who did not agree with the appropriateness of a work of art have resolved to subscribe privately for the erection of a Carlisle memorial chapel at the Castle Howard Reformatory, near Malton, the philanthropic institution with which the Earl of Carlisle most closely connected himself.
