Sir William Gore Onseley, K. C. B.
Late European news a nnounces the death of this
diHtinirdbihed English diplomat, at the advanced
age of sixty seven years. Thirty years of service
in diplomatic capacities on this continent made
him lamiliar tq must Americans, and his career
interesting to all.
Sir William clorc Ouseiey was born In ljy.
He was the son of Sir William Gore Ouseiey,
well known lor his Oriental attainments. llis
narrative of the mission of his brother, Sir P.
A. G. Ousely, to Persia, in 1810, and his works
on Eastern antiquities and literature, are a well
known mine ot oriental and classical learning.
This Baronet Onseley became very celebrated
through tho success of this mission. An
uncle of the lato baronet served lor mauy
years in India, was professor of Persian
at llalleybury, and wad latterly serving as in
terpreter to the UritiHh authorities at Paris. A
cousin, Kov. Sir Frederick Arthur Gore Ouseiey,
is M. A. and Musical Doctor ot Oxford Univer
sity, beintr a large pecuniary, as well as scien
tific and literary, contributor to the promotion
of art. The mother of the deceased was the
grand-daughter ot Sir P. E. Irving, Governor
General of Canada.
The late Baronet was educated for the diplo
matic service, and at a very early age became
attached to the Stockholm mission. This was
in 1817. He became at tached to the Washington
Location in 1825, where he remained until 1830.
' lie" was next appointed Acting Secretary of Lo
cation at Brussels, tl urine Sir It. Adair'a Em
bassy, and subsequently at Bio Janeiro, at
which court he resided for several years
s Charge d'Affaires. In 1844 ho was named
Plenipotentiary at Buenos Ayres, and in 1815
Special Minister to the States ot La Plata.
Lord Aberdeen said, in his instructions, "To
Den un the trreat arteries of tho South Ameri
can continent would bo not only a vast bene tit
to the trade of Europe, but a pructical, and per
haps tho best, security for the preservation of
peace in ooutu America." ay nis endeavors xo
carry out this policy, and protecting British sub-
Jects, Sir W. G. Ouseiey provoked the tyrant
tosas; but had bis reward in the applause such
conduct earned from all classes. Addressee from
the British and French residents at Montevideo
were presented to him when recalled by Lord
Palmerston; while not less than eight hundred

motion of commerce narticularlv deserve ihpn-

the late Sir C. llothain to Assumption to treat
with President Lopez, and projected a commer

merce and humanity during his Platine mission.
In 1857 Sir W.G. Ouseiey was appointed Special
lllnister to the United States to settle the Clav-
ton-Bulwer treaty question, so long a subject of
discussion Dei ween uie uauinets ot St. James
and Washington. It was thought at one time
that a solution of this problem had been arrived
at by the treaties negotiated in I860, between
Scnor Don Victor Uerran. the Honduras Pleni-
Eotentiary, and Lord Clarendon on the one
and, and Lord Clarendon and Mr. Dallas on the
other, providing for the cession of the Bav
Islands to Honduras, relinquishment of tho
jmtiBh protectorate or Mosquito, etc. But
clogged with conditions objectionable to
General- Don Santos Guordiola, President
ot Honduras, and also to the Cabinet
of Washington, those treaties were not
ratified. It being, however, of the highest im
portance to arrive, without further delay, at a
thorough understanding on thejoexata qiutstio of
central American entanglements, the most ex
pedient course was to accredit from England to
Washington a special Minister of professional
status, qualified not only by his familiarity with
Spanish-American topics to appreciate the
lull beariug ot thus subject, but also likely,
irom personal and other attributes, to
render the exposition of his instructions
directly acceptable to the head of the United
States Executive, and afterwards, to present the
rebults of such arrangements to the Central Ame
rican Government in the mode best calculated
to Insure their co-operation, and Sir William
Core Ouseiey was selected by Lord Palmerston.
Alter visiting this country he went to Central
America. Alter completing his labors there he
returned home, since winch time he has re-
jnained ouiet in Eneland. Sir William was the
author of "Itemarks on the Slave Trade," "South
American Sketches," aud several pamphlets in
connection witli the social and political Institu
tions of the United States. Sir William was
married to an American lady, at Washington, in
1829. She was the daughter of Governor Van

Letter Irom Admiral Farrngnt
"New York Crrr. January 16. My Dear 8lr:
I was much trratitied at the receipt ot your let
ter, manifesting such a deep interest in the navy.
This action of the State in establishing a naval
division or the Bureau ot Military itcconi,
thereby preserving to posterity and the future
historian records of the achievements of our
navy in tho suppression of the late most wieked
Keuemon, l regard oi very great ana lasting
imnnrtmwp it la eminently an act ot lus-
tlce, alike to the Republic and tho State, and to
the bravo men who have suffered, fought, and
bled to uphold our glorious Union in all its in
tegrity.
vThe hiftory of our navy for the last five
years is unparalleled, for the reajon that the
Inventions snd Improvements in shipbuilding,
ordnance, and in almost every description of
warlike implements, oucnive ana aciensive,
are so destructive and terrltic in their charac
ter as well calculated to demoralize any but tho
stoutest heiirts. Yet our brave sailors, fnithiul
to their duty, have always met their foe in what
ever shape ho appeared, lougnt ana conquered,
besides toiling through tho war in its tedious
blockado ot more than three thousand miles,
with patient energy which I trut will ever
recommend them to the high consideration of
their country. It 1s, therefore, as 1 have said,
eniineiitlv due. alike to the iiuvv and the arni.y.
that tho records of our great war, now hanpiiy
a thing ot the past, ol our brave deicnders ana a
people's patriotism), be collected and preserved in
the vigllnnt custody of the State as the brightest
jewels of her crown. I appreciate with you tho
great national and historical importance of tho
action ot the btatc in creating urn naval divi
sion of the Military Bureau, tor it must neces
carily include in its records of tho naval men
irom the Empire State, who have fought in
every light and on every vessel, a hUtory of the
entire navy and naval operations ; and it is
proper Hint it should be so, tor while local and
State pride is not only pardonable, but proper,
our naval meu in paiticular are sous ot tho
KepuDlic more than citizens of the State. But
I nui glad that the noble State of New York,
which has lurnistied a large ana unequal pro
portion of our vessels and crews, has taken
the initiative in this great work, which retlects
honor upon its legislators as well as its citizen
dclenders.

A Procession of Elephants.
Of all the State ceremonies by which the sue-
cees of the Mugporc Exhibition was signalized
and celebrated, Ur- most imposing and effective,
to our mind, w as the procession of elephants.
it was a vivid illustration oi thai nue passage in
De Ouiueev's "Kevolt of the Tartars," where the
author describes the long line of camels lrinaing
the distant horizon with'a dusky band. Strange
to say, though numerous detailed accounts aiid
descriptive skelcnes oi tne exhibition adorned
the columns of moot of our contemporaries in
the three presidencies, yet this spectacle, which
singly combined all the historical elements of
oriental pomp and splendor, bus been honored
with oulv the laintest of allusions, us if unwor
thy cf a lengthened notice.
The long line ot huge quadrupeds slowly,
and as it were with measured tread,
wending their way over the bridco.
and thrown in strong relievo against tho morn
ing sun, was striking, and transported the
imagination bacK to the ureal mogui, when all
the resources ot the East were brought into re
quisition hi order to minister to toe Imperial
vanity. Alter tho chiet commissioner, the
brigadier, und the Nagpore rajahs, cu.ue the
piincipal nobility of the central provinces. They
had all arrayed themselves m gorgeous apparel,
and seemed to vie with one i another lu the cost
liness and richness of the appointments of their
elephants. There were also many of the visitors
to Nagpore, riding on Government elephants,
ana a gooa spriuKiing oi military oiiicgib. ihe
rear was brought up by the deputy commis
sioner, aud the line, which seemed lengthening
away unerniinaoiy into tuc distance, at last
ended.

in full lorce. There were seventy-nine elephants
counted, mostly in gaudy ond glittering trap
pings, and carrying gaiJy attired natives. From
the Bukhurgunge road the procession wound up
the Paldee road, passed under the lofty arch of
the palace gate, and crossed the spacious square
in front of the ruined palace. This was densely
thronged with well-dressed natives. Such a
crowd was never before within living memory
seen in tho city of Nagpore.
With stately solemnity the line wound up the
long street Irom the palace through the Jooma
Gate, and thoBe who formed the rear of tho pro
cession could descry Mr. Temple's tall elephant
emerging upon the elevated embankment ot
the great tank before their own elephants had
rssed the palace, 'the stream or elephants as
deboutthed from the city, seemed as though it
would never end. At the residency the chief
commissioner drew up his elephant immediately
within the gate, and took leave of his cortege,
as it denied before him. From this point the
processionists dispersed, aud the ceremony was
concluded. Ventral India limes, January 20.

He informed the otllccr that he inserted the

Morrison has had for some time, has been ai

One man had enclosed a counterfeit titty cent

that If he "was like bis money he was a coun-

The Boston Transcript has intelligence from a
correspondent at lunu of the progress of the
work of tunnelling the Alps. The entire length
ot the tunnel ii 12,220 metres, or a little over 7i
miles. (5309 metres are finished; thcTe remain
(;911 mpfres. At tho rate ol progress last year,
the flnb'h'ng of this will require not quite six
years. Whether this rate of progress will be
maintained1, and whether the treasury of a Gov
ernment (Italy), with a delicit ot a million of
francs ($200,(100) per day, wi'.l hold out, are ques
tions which time alone can settle. The writpr
fixes the time ol completion at ten years Irom
tho prestnt time, thus allowing for slower pro-,
gress as the distanco Increases. $1,200,000 are
to be expended this year; this gives twelve mil
lions of dollars for flushing.
The correspondent writes: "At this date
(February 15) very nearly onr-haif of the wbolo
work is completed, and it may bo confidently
relied upon that the work will eo on at a con
stantly increasing rate of proere?s. There is
every icaon to have perfect faith in the cllici
ency ol the machines. We have arrived at the
stia'ttim of quartz roek. We find it sometimes
solid and sometimes broken and mixed up with
anhydrite (quartz). However, we have alwavs
got through this rock at the rate ot CO metres
(23 2-3 Inches) to 80 metres (3M Inches) por day.
This is on the side of Mod.fne. I have men
tioned that on the Bardoncche side wo have
been stopped by the cholera tor two month.. It
is iiOt piobaolc, as you perceive, that harder
rock can be met with (than this quartz roek):
and it is not impossible that a tougher (pint
U-pace) rock may be eucouuterelj but such an
accident will no more stop the work, than it
was stopped when we came to;thp quartz rock."
An Artist Killed.
WILLIAM B. ODDIB ACCIDENTALLY SHOT.
An artist named William B. Oddie was shot
and instantly killed this morning at the south
west comer ol Fourth avenue and Fourteenth
street. The shooting was accidental. The facts
are, briefly, thut at about 10 o'clock Mr. Oddie
entered the Carlton saloon, and sat down to read
a newspaper; and in a few moments Mr. John
La Dew cuteied. Having engaged a boy to
blacken his boots, La Dew took a revolver out
of hie pocket, w hich he was carelessly hand
ling, w hen one of tho barrels discharged, the
ball taking ellcct in tho head of Mr. Oddie. It
first BtrucK his hat-band, and then passed into
his brain aud lodged under the right eye,
causing immediate death. The body of Mr.
Oddie was removed to the Fifteenth Pre
oinct Station House, where Coroner Wildey
will hold nn inquest this ntternoon. Mr.
La Dew, in company with Mr. Henry C. Genet,
immediately went to Police Headquarters,
where the torraer gave himself in charge ot the
officers. Mr. Odd.e and Mr. La Dew were inti
mate friends, and, it is soid, had been engaged
in conversation alter La Dew entered the saloon.
Mr. Oddie had a studio at tho corner ot Uni
versity place and Twelfth street. Ho was forty
seven years of age. Ten or twelve years ago
Mr. Oddie painted many pleading landscapes,
which met with a ready sale. Although he was
not an artist of a high order, his pictures were
admired by many persons, and at one time he
occupied a good position in his profession. Ot
late years Sir. Oddie did not produce many
works, and his pictures wpre seldom seen by the
public, lie was a man of much culture, and of
large form and commnndingpresenee. Ilis first
