It is expected that the funeral will take place in the middle of next
week, when the LORD MAYOR of course will officiate as Chief Mourner.
Service will be performed by one of the Sheriffs, whose officers have
long discharged that duty. We are not aware that any monument will be
erected to the deceased, though a column to its memory will probably be
placed in the pages of our contemporaries.

TEMPLE-BAR MUST BE REMOVED.

The past week affords another argument for the removal of Temple-Bar. On
Tuesday last, a distinguished Alderman having to go west, was stopped by
the fog at Temple-Bar. Fog and alderman were both so thick, it was
impossible that both could go through together. We have not heard how
the dilemma was settled.

THE FRENCH "FUSION" AT FROHSDORF.

[Illustration: T]

The papers announced the other day in "second editions," by "submarine
and electric telegraph," the important fact that "the DUKE DE NEMOURS
had called on the COUNT DE CHAMBORD at Frohsdorf;" and a subsequent
communication brought the equally important intelligence that the PRINCE
DE CHAMBORD had since returned the call. How it can signify to Europe in
general, or to England in particular, to be told that these two princes
are now on visiting terms is a puzzle to us, who look upon the affair
with as much unconcern as we should have felt at the intimation that
JONES had been to ROBINSON'S, and that ROBINSON had returned JONES'S
card. We suppose, however, that the electric telegraph will speedily be
put into requisition to communicate the progress of the fusion through
all its stages, from the first interchange of the conventional
pasteboard, to the final drawing up of a family compact. We shall expect
to meet with such passages as the following in the columns of our
contemporaries before the end of the month:--

"_By Submarine and Electric Telegraph._--The COUNT DE CHAMBORD asked the
DUKE DE NEMOURS to breakfast this morning, and the DUKE DE NEMOURS
returned the compliment by inviting the PRINCE DE CHAMBORD
