THE LASTEAD RITES.
LONDON, March 21.—All accounts from
St. Petersburg agree describing the
grandeur and solemnity of the ceremony of
removing the Czar's remains from the
imperial chapel at the Winter Palace to
the Cathedral of St. Peter and St. Pauli in
the sombre fortress, so-called, on the eft
bank of the Neva., the last resting place
of the Romanoffs, a scene which only the
capital of the Czar's dominions nould : fur-
nish. The sun shone with/extraordinary
brilliancy. The streets were a sea of
melting snow. The horses were draped in

followed the grand dukes and princes,
according to precedence, with the foreign
princes.
LONDON, March 22.—The following is the
continuation of George. Augustus Sala's
description sent yesterday of the removal
of the Czar's body from the Winter Palace
to the Cathedral of St. Peter and St. Paul:
A black flag bearing the cypher of the
deceased Czar embroidered in white had
been hoisted to the tall gilded spire on the
cathedral within the fortress. The centre
of the nave of the cathedral was filled by
the huge catafalque with its Cloth of gold
lined with ermine rising to the very roof of
the edifice. Beneath this was a dais with
three grades, Cbvered with crimson velvet,
while surrounding the pillars of the cats-
falque, shrouded alternately,were draperies
of cloth Of gold and cloth of silver bearing
the monogram of the lamented Czar. At
length the head of the cortege, eonsisting
of the personal escort of his latetmajesty,
and the brilliant band of the Cuirassiers,
With white tunics and silvered helmets,
mounted upon superb black chargers,
appeared at the Ivesiskinoff- gate. The
foreign ambassadors, a,mbassadresses,
ministers, plenipotentiaries, and their
consorts, with the members .of the respec-
tive legations, ladies in waiting, maids of
honor of the late empress, senaters, and
such ltigh Russian officials whose reek
entitles them to places iri the church,
ranged themselves .around the steps of
the -cateletaue; anxiously watching.. for
the bringing_ , in of the •illuetrious

IN A CRITICAL STATE.
The State ot Parties in the Imperial Par-
liament.
As one of the Radical organs bitterly
cOmplains (remarks a usually well-informed
London correspondent), the great Liberal
party is after all a good deal at the mercy
of its opponents. . In fact, it is not impos-
sible to conceive of a state of affairs in
which the Government would be placed in
a virtual minority, notwithanding their
victory at the elections last year. I have
gone carefully over the House, and endea-
vored to make an exact political classifica-
tion of the members with this result:
3.40
210
Liberals, excluding Irish
Conservatives,excluding Irish
Irish members
_ Total
There are several seats at _present vacant.
.0f the Liberals there are, as recent divi-
sion lists have shown, about a dozen who
are prepared to vote with the Irish .mem-
best. If, then, any question arose on which
tlirIrish party chose to unite as a body
with the Conservatives, the Liberal strength
(even if the last man were -bought up) would
amount to 328, while the Conservatives
would mister 325. This contingency may
not be very probable, but still it might
arise; and it would undoubtedly place Mr.
Gladstone in a very awkward position.

SPORTING NOTES.
THE EXTRAORDINARY PRODIGALITY oi A SPORTING
DUKE.
Under the heading A Hatnilton forever!"
a -joyous and sympathetic editor of the
Geulois informs Paris tbat the Duke of
Hamilton is about to return to the French
turf. Some interesting reminiscences of
the Lord of Easton Park are given. He,
we are informed, relieved the tedium of his
education at Oxford by "epigrams," such
as having his dinner table _placed across
the street, compelling the - public to go
another way, and when at Loudon exhibited
a trait of "juvenile gayety" by buying a
new hat, ordering two " pounds " of molasses
of the grocer next door, dropping a
sovereign on the floor when the man
of figs and treacle had poured the
fluid into the hat, and then clapping the
:tile on the grocer's head as he stooped to .1'
pick up the money. When the duke's -1_
Biker married the hereditary Prince of r--`
Monaco, he desired to give her a wedding
present, and so went with M. Padwick to a
jeweller's shop, where he selected two huge
diamonds. . M. Padwick tipped the wink to •
the jeweller to lure the duke into the back
shop and Asked. what commission he was to -
have. "10 per cent„" replied the jeweller. .
"That isn't enough—I will have these, too,
or take my duke away." said M. Padwick,
selecting a pair Of costly emerald ear -rings,
Which were duty charged to "Lord Hamil-
ton." At a party given by the Queen the
diike was attracted by: an "adorable
Want," Mary Montagu, whose beauty did
et impress him so much as her heartfelt

pesed-to her- on the spot. Heaven, alasrl
