Not a Coffin Full of Lead.

London, Dec. 31.—The hopes of hundreds who have subscribed to the stock of the popular syndicate which is raising the money to enable George HoJlaiuby Druce to prosecute his claim to the dukedom of Portland were dashed when on opening the grave of Thomas Charles Druce it was found to contain his body, and not a coffin filled with lead, which latter would have gone far to establish George Hollamby's claim. The subscribers to the prosecution fund are all poor people—servant girls and the like.
