DEATH OF LORD WILLOUGHBY D'ERESBY.—We have to announce the death of Lord Willoughby D'Eresby, who, after a protracted illness, expired between 9 and 10 o'clock last night at the family residence on the Terrace, Piccadilly. Lady Carington and other members of his family were present at his death-bed. Lady Wil loughby, to whom he was most tenderly attached, had only pre-deceased him by a few weeks. The late Peter Robert Drummond-Willoughby was the eldest son of Peter Burrell, the first Lord Gwydyr, by Priscilla, 19th Baroness Wil loughby D'Eresby. He was born the 19th of March, 1782, and succeeded his father as Baron Gwydyr the 9th of Juno, 1820, and his mother as Baron Willoughby the 29th of December, 1828. The deceased lord married, on the 20th of October, 1807, the Hon. Clementina, Sarah Drummond, the only surviving child and heir of James, Lord Perth, whese death we had occasion to mention only a few weeks back. He leaves as surviving issue Clementina Elizabeth, married to Lord Aveland, Charlotte Augusta, married to Lord Carington, and the Hon. Alberic (his only son), born the 23d of December, 1821, who succeeds to the family honours. The late Baron Willoughby D'Eresby, and Gwydyr of Gwydyr, county Carnarvon, in the Peerage of England, was joint Hereditary Great Chamberlain of Eng land with the present Marquis Cholmondeley, who will now assume that hereditary appointment. He has a sur viving sister, the Dowager Countess of Clare. The mother of the late lord was the sister and co-heir of the last Duke of Ancaster, who died in 1779. Lord and Lady Willoughby were almost the last survivors of that great society which had adorned the early years of the present century. They had both been distinguished as leaders of fashion, and were renowned not only for a splendid hospitality, which in cluded almost every personage of distinction in Europe, but for a certain genial courtliness of manner, combined with the most unaffected kindliness of which there are few examples. Of all the many deaths which this inclement season has caused none will leave a wider gap than those of Lord and Lady Willoughby. - - THE LATE DUKE OF NORTHUMBERLAND.—The body of the late Duke of Northumberland was brought to Northumberland-house about 9 o'clock last evening, from Alnwick Castle. The lying in state will take place to mon ow, from 10 to 4, and admission is confined to the per sonal friends of the deceased, his tenants, and tradespeople. The body of the deceased, on reaching Northumberland house, was placed in the dining room, which had been pre pared as a mortuary chamber, being hung throughout with black draperies. We are informed that Lord Enfield, M.P. for Middlesex, and eldest son of Lord Strafford, has con sented to accept the office of Secretary of the Poor Law Board, just vacated by the resignation of Mr. Gilpin, M.P. for Nottingham. THE YORKSHIRE COAST.—Up to Tuesday night there was no intelligence of three missing Yorkshire fishing vessels, the True Love, the Rose of England, and the Blue Jacket, belonging to Staithes, and it is greatly to be feared that they and their crews, in all 27 persons, are lost. One fishing vessel was seen to be in distress off Redcar on Sunday night, and after a fall of snow it was noticed she had disappeared. Some wreck has come ashore at Saltburn. The snow squalls of Sunday were the se verest that have been observed this winter upon the north east coast, and the sea rose with great rapidity when the wind got round to the northward. POOR RATES AND PAUPERISM.—Mr. Purdy's quarterly return, completing the series for 1864, was issued yesterday. It shows that there has been a continuous in crease in the number of paupers from the beginning to the end of the quarter, there being 63,674 more paupers at the latter time than at the former. Nevertheless the paupers in the whole year (1864), as compared with those of 1863, have decreased 32,174, or 3.35 per cent. ; but compared with 1862, the decrease was 178,142, or 16.12 per cent. The actual numbers for the three years are as follows ;-1863, 1,105,234; 1863, 959,266; and 1864, 927,092, THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 23, 1865. SHARE MARKETS—This day.

(This Day•) The Solemn Funeral Obsequies of Cardinal Wiseman began this morning at Ten o'Clock, in St. Mary's Pro-Cathedral, Moorfields. The cere monial commenced with a Requiem Mass—the Right Rev. William Placid Morris, Bishop of Troy, being the officiating Priest, the Rev. Dr. Melia, the Deacon, and the Rev.! Dr. Gloog, the Sub-Deacon, arrayed in their violet chasuble and dalmatics. Eleven out of the twelve suffragan Bishops of the Province, of which his Eminence was Archbishop and Metro politan, assisted in full pontificals within the sanc tuary. Besides these, there were also present his Grace the Archbishop of Dublin, the Catholic Primate of Ireland, as well as several bishops having sees is partibus infidelium, and many other dignitaries of the Catholic Church. The whole interior of the building was covered with black and yellow draperies. The pillars, swathed in black, were spirally called round with narrow yellow bands, having about them, in the general effect of the curving winding lines, a certain vague resemblance, as was yesterday remarked by one of our morning contemporaries, to that noticeable in Raphael's Cartoon of the Gate Beautiful. In the centre of the sanctuary—immediately in front of the steps ascending to the high altar of the pro-Cathedral —was placed the Bier or Catafalque, upon which reposed, within a series of coffins, the remains of the Cardinal-Archbishop. The inner most coffin of all, the leaden one, lined with white and yellow satin (the pontifical colours) in which lies the body of the deceased, arrayed in the gorgeous vestments appertaining to him in his various eccle siastical capacities as Priest, Bishop, Archbishop, and Cardinal. Among these ecclesiastical raiments, the alb, for example—manufactured by skilful young hands at the Orphanage of North Hyde— has significantly embroidered upon it the words " Father of Orphans." The outer coffin, which is of very considerable dimensions—being thirty-two inches across at the widest part, and fully seven feet in length—is of polished oak, thickly studded with embossed nails, and richly adorned with gilded handles. Almost entirely concealing the coffin itself, as it lay there on the bier of violet cloth thickly bound and richly embroidered with gold lace, was spread a magnificent yellow silk and black velvet pall, known as the Bowyer Pall, being the property of the hon. baronet the member for Dundalk, the Cardinal's Cross-bearer. Placed there upon the black velvet of this pall— towards the foot of the partially concealed coffin (the head of the coffin being in the direction of the high altar, in token of the distinguished ecclesiasti cal dignity of the deceased)—lying there, we say, towards the foot of the coffin, upon the black velvet of this pall, was the broad-leaved scarlet hat of the Cardinal, with its red tassels—long silken appen dages, broadest at their extremity—hanging down conspicuously upon either side. Conspicuously noticeable at, the extremity of this pall fronting the assembled congregation, was the embroidered escutcheon of the Cardinal Archbishop with its very striking moto—Omnia pro Christ°. The church was almost completely darkened—the windows being concealed with black hangings, and the interior lighted solely by the gas chandeliers and the wax tapers around the catafalque, saving alone where the daylight streamed from above on the large picturesque representation of the Cruci fixion forming the altar-piece of the pro-Cathedral. Some three or four hundred priests, from all parts of England, Ireland, and Scotland, crowded the sanctuary in a dense mass—dis tinguishable in their ecclesiastical character by their cassocks, surplices, and doctorial hats The music was throughout the simple Gregorian chant. The mass beginning, as a matter of course, with the "Kyrie Eleison." After the chanting of the Epistle bythe Sub-Deacon, the sublime Hymn of the " Dies Irm " was intoned most affectingly in alternate solo and full chorus—that matchless hymn of grief, the mere reading of which dissolved into tears the voice of our great Political moralist, Dr. Johnson. From the darkness prevailing within the building it was difficult to recognise the throng of notabi lities there collected together in honour to the me mory of the deceased prelate. The ambassadors' tribune was very fully attended—the Count Ap ponyi, the Austrian Ambassador, and the Prince de la Tour d'Auvergne being distinguishable among their diplomatic associates. The congregation con sisted of males and females in almost equal numbers. It was not until close upon twelve o'clock that the Right Rev. Monseignor Manning ascended the pulpit, . from which he preached a most impressive and eloquent sermon (of an hour and twenty minutes duration) to a congregation listening to him in breathless silence and streaming eyes. The procession started from Moorfields at about half-past two, in the, following order : Horsemen to clear the way. Three mourning coaches and four, with deputations from religious confraterniti es , in their habit. Mourning coach and pair, with archiepiscopal cross, acolytes, and master of ceremonies. ------- -- Fifty mourning Coaches and four, with tho clergy in surplices. TIRST CARRIAGE. Rev.

Private Carriages. The whole arrangements of the funeral were entrusted to Mr. James Taylor, of Lower Seymour street, Portman-square, in conjunction with Messrs. Garstin and Co., of Welbeck-street, who supplied the fittings and furnishings. Upon leaving th: Pro-Cathedral at Moorfields, the procession—haling at last been formed with great difficulty in consequence of the immense concourse both of carriages and footpassengers— proceeded along the City-road, down Pentonville hill, through Euston-square and Marylebone, along the Edgware-road and Harrow-road to Kensal green. Here, at the gateway of the Kensal-green Cemetery, the numerous mourning coaches and carriages discharged their occupants —no vehicle whatever being admitted within the boundaries-- the whole of the immense procession passing on foot by a covered way, constructed expressly for the occasion, from the principal entrance up to the very grave set apart for the reception of the remains of his Eminence. This henceforth noteable spot of earth being in the centre of the Roman Catholic portion of Kensal-green, the portion known as St. Mary's Catholic Cemetery. We shall give a report of the proceeding at the Kensal-Green Cemetery in a later edition. As being wonderfully appropriate to the occasion, we extract the following lines from a book of Poems published some time since by the Messrs. Long mans : The Burial of the Archbishop, Slowly in procession tread, Darkness in the light of day, Towards the regions of the dead, Towards the charnels of decay. Priest and deacon, turn by turn, Chant the low funereal rites, While the gleaming censers burn, Lightly swung by th' acholytes. Let the wail of anguish riso As from sullen shades below, Till distil from saddefi'd eyes, Blinding tears of solemn woe. Echo all the crypts around, Even every crevice dim, With a sweet but awful sound— Sorrow's agonising hymn. Tuba mirum spargens sonum, 'Round the vaulted chambers ring, Per sepulchra regionum, Where the silent dead we bring, Coge,t omnes ante thronum,— Sorrowfully murmuring. Slower each attendant move, Surplic'd child and cowhfd man, With the griefs that all behove, Clerk, and monk, and sacristan. Draw the coffin from its pall, Lay it in its place appointed, While we linger, one and all, Weeping for the Lord's anointed. Lower down with creaking ropes Thro' the earth, so dank and cold, The casket of abandon'd hopes — Purple velvet clamp'd with gold. Scatter'd o'er the buried Great, Hark! the clattering mould hath slid, Dully dropp'd with leaden weight On the hollow-sounding lid. Have we not old recollections Worthy of unfading love, Wafting all this world's affecti3ns To the radiant realms above ? Here before our feet he lies, Ile the teacher of our youth, Now translated to the skies By the Living God of Truth. You remember all the joy Of his pure, unsullied soul When he left this life's alloy, Passing thro' the golden goal— Passing thro' that goal mole splendid Than the dawn-empurpled east, When within his heart were blended All the graces of the Priest : Guarded from the grasp of schism By his mind's sublime belief ; Sanctified by sacred chrism ; Chosen by the Church, her Chief. Then the tonsure, while it shed Glory like the radiant morn's, Symbol'd on his shaven head Calv'ry's awful crown of thorns. Then the amice he would drag O'er his neck with aspect meek, As they muffled with a rag Him they smote upon•the cheek. O'er his scanty cassock fell, Floating down, an alb like snow, As in Herod's time befell To the Human-God of woe: 'Round his loins a girdle wound, He, to each adoring soul, Like the Holy One when bound, Stood in maniple and stole. Over all, the gorgeous silk Of the outer vestment roll'd Red like Wood, or white as milk, Stiff with 'broideries of gold— The rich chasuble he bore, As an emblem in our creed Of the purple robe Ile worn When they arm'd Him with the reed. Then an antidote for malice And all earthly ills he brought, In the gem-encrusted chalice And the paten thinly wrought. With our sympathetic sighs Did the stately pageant pass, To uplift the sacrifice In the rapture of the mass. Clouds from thuribles arose, While with ardour every voice Peal'd the harmony that flows When assembled souls rejoice. But, above the fumes around, O'er the melodies of air, Rose the fragrance and the sound Of the supplicative prayer. Oh, what glory seem'd to glow On his solemn features then— Like the aureole o'er the brow Of some sainted martyr—when His anointed hand reward, O'er the bonded heads of most, All the love that lay conceal'd In the consecrated host; Or, when benedictions came From the ray'd Remonstrance, while Each beam glimmer'd like the flame Of the dread Redeemer's smile. Yet, alas ! for ever mute In the solemn hush of death, Low he lies whose moral fruit Ripely dropp'd with his last breath ; Low he slumbers to his knell, late . Teaching truths with honey'd lips ; Low -he lies, the Prince, the Prelate, Shadow'd by the grave's eclipse. Brothers, let us cease our sorrrow ; Draw from misery relief, And the salt of solace borrow From the briny dews of grief. Staunching weepings of the brain— Eye to heaven and knee to sod— Turn consoled to life again, Leaving him alone with God. THE REMOVAL OF THE CARDINAL'S REMAINS FROM YORK PLACE.—Very quietly, and with total absence of ceremonial observances, the body of Car dinal Wiseman was removed from the house he had lately inhabited, in York-place, to the Chapel of St. Mary, in Moorfields, where it will rest until the funeral to-morrow. A crowd, principally composed of the humbler class of Roman Catholic communi cants, had gathered before the door as early as three o'clock in the afternoon, expecting that the removal of the corpse would take place some time that even ing, and perhaps early. It was nearly half-past eleven, however, before the plain hearse, drawn by four horses, moved from the door, and midnight ' had struck when the sad burden was deposited in the body of the chapel. Encased in a leaden coffin, the remains of the lamented cardinal—lamented sincerely and affectionately, we may say, by the poor mourners, who stood in the cold rain near his 1 doorstep, and who spoke in low voices and with tears upon their cheeks when he was at last borne forth—reposed in the centre of the darkened draw ing-room till the arrival of the undertakers and their assistants. The great waxen torches had burnt down into mere clots, and one or two had flickered quite out, leaving only a light which, being cer tainly " dim," may not unfitly be also spoken of as " religious." A. female domestic watched, and sometimes knelt and prayed, by a chair a little re moved from the bier ; and as the priests in attend ance enterea the room they also knelt, but closer to the leaden coffin, on which a bunch of white and red camellias had been placed. One face, that of Dr. Searle, the Roman Catholic canon, who was so fre quently the companion in public of the cardinal — and who is almost as familiar to the sight of persons admitted to the private views of the Royal Academy —was noticeable as, on his entering the chamber of death, he turned his keen grey eyes sternly and almost forbiddingly on the little knot of under takers' men who stood in the vestibule, waiting to carry the leaden coffin down the stairs, and place it within the oaken one which stood in the entrance hall ready to receive it.--.2llorning Paper.

President Davis made a speech, declaring that if all heartily and unanimously answered the demands of the present exigency, then he could say that the South stood upon the verge of success, which would teach the insolent enemy who had treated the pro positions with contumely that in that conference, in which he had so plumed himself with arrogance, he was indeed talking to his masters. If ariy man supposed he (Davis) would, under any circum stances, be an agent for the reconstruction of the Union, he mistook every element of his nature. With the Confederacy he would live or die. If half the absentees returned to Lee's army, Grant 'Would be taught a lesson such as he had never received, even on the road from the Rapidan. Beauregard had another army on Sherman's path, and it would be soon shown that Sher ' man's march through Georgia would be his last. The Richmond Sentinel says the result- of the conference has again roused the spirit of '6l through out the South. Grant's left commenced moving on Alonday. The 3d Division of the sth Corps advanced along the road leading from Duncan Road along Boylton Plank Road, driving the Confederates from their breastworks at Dabnye's Mills. In the afternoon the Confederates made a determined attack along the whole line, expecting to break through or cut off the 3d Division. Simultaneously they made an attack in front, and part of the 3d Division being cut off from communication, gave way and retreated in disorder to the breastworks erected by the 2d Corps. Part of the 3d Division of the . 6th Corps, which had just crossed Hatcher's Run, and become demoralised, were rallied, and assisted in driving the enemy back. The Federals during the retreat abandoned two artillery waggons. Shortly afterwards the Confederates attacked the left of the Second Corps, near Armstrong House, on Duncan ROad, but were repulsed with loss. The Federals lost on Sunday and Monday 1,180 men. On Tuesday they occupied the ground lost on the previous day. Grant's permanent lines now ex tend from what was formerly the extreme left at Fort Cummings, or Squirrel Level Road, to across Hatcher's Run, at Armstrong Mills. Lee's report states that on Sunday evening he moved a strong force to Hatcher's Run. Part of his infantry crossed, and proceeded to Cattab Creek and the cavalry to Dinwiddie Court House, where they encountered the Federal cavalry and retired. In the afternoon Hall's and Gordon's troops demonstrated against the enemy on the left of Hatcher's Run, near Armstrong Mills, but find ing him entrenched, withdrew during the night. The force which advanced beyond the creek was reported recrossing. On Monday morning Pc gram's division moved to the right bank of the creek to reconnoitre, when it was vigorously attacked. The battle was obstinately con tested for several hours, but Pegram being killed, and Col. lloffmann wounded, some confusion oc curred, and the division was pressed back to its ori ginal position. - - Van's division was ordered to support Pegram's, and charged the enemy, forcing him back, but was in turn compelled to retire. A.fahoney's division then arrived, and drove the enemy rapidly to his defences at Hatcher's Run. The Federal loss is small, and the enemy's loss is not supposed to be great. The object of Grant's movement has not transpired. Nothing direct has been received from Sherman. A report prevailed at Richmond that he had effected a lodgment on the railroad between Branch ville and Augusta. The only fact confirmatory of this report was that the telegraphic communication with Augusta was interrupted. There were also rumours that Branchville had been flanked and captured, growing out of the receipt of news by the War Department that the Confederate advance guard under Maclaw had fallen back within 30 miles of Branchville, through fear of being enveloped by the enemy's advance. Augusta papers report two corps of Sherman's army to be on the Georgia side of the Savannah river. Beauregard made a speech at Augusta declaring that he would fight to the bitter end, and if he failed, he could pay his passage to a foreign country. A Washington despatch asserts that military ope rations have been resumed below Wilmington. A large Confederate force is reported on the Arkansas side of the Mississippi, near Mound City, preparing to cross into Tennessee. New Orleans papers reassert that advices from Mobile of the 25th confirm the evacuation of Mobile. The Confederate Senate has almost unanimously rejected the bill putting 200,000 negroes into the Confederate army. The Senate has also confirmed the appointment of Mr. Breckenridge as Secretary for War. The Vice-President has officially informed the Federal Congress that Lincoln and Johnson have been elected for four years. Two hundred and thirteen electoral votes were cast for Lincoln and Johnson, and 21 for M'Clelland and Pendleton. The Governor of Kentucky has sent a message to the Legislature recommending the ratification of the constitution amendment, but thinks the Government should pay Kentucky $34,000,000, the value of the slaves in that State. The Delaware Legislature has rejected, and the Ohio Legislature has passed, the constitutional amendment. President Lincoln has communicated to Congress the correspondence relating to the French transport Rhine. In reply to a letter from the Mexican Minister, Romero, informing Mr. Seward of the passage of French troops across the Isthmus of Panama, and also referring to the trade between San Francisco and Acapulco, and other points relating to the neutrality of the United States between France and Mexico, Mr Seward says the instructions already given by the Treasury Department to the San Francisco authorities to prevent these transactions would be renewed. The Nova Scotian Parliament assembled on Thursday. The Governor, in his message, recom mends the unbiassed consideration of the Confede ration scheme. The Australasian and City of London have arrived out. MEXICO. NEW Yonk, Feb. 10 (Evening.) The Havana correspondent of the Associated Press denies the statement that Mexico had ceded any ter ritory to France, and that Senator Gwinn had been appointed Viceroy. _ Gwinn had been unsuccessful in pressing his claims in Mexico, and was en route for Europe, in order to urge them there. The NeW York journals publish advices from Mexico to the 20th, according to which the French were concentrating upon Oaxaca. Havana correspondence states tnat many towns were throwing off the Imperial yoke. Foreign Mail Packet List. Australia and New Zealand, via Southampton.....

Several exceptions are made to the protecting clause, giving to occupiers of houses the right to contract with any com pany or person for the removal of sewage, or to use it upon their own land, provided that no nuisance bo occasioned by such removal. Power is also given to occu piers of land, with the consent of the Local Sewer Autho rity, to apply the contentsof a sewer, or drain pipe running to waste upon their lands, to the fertilisation of such lands. The bill proposes to give powerto the Local Sewer Autho rity to acquire waste land, sand-banks, and other lands improvable by the application of sewage under the Lands Clauses Act, on a provisional order granted by the Secre tary of State, and confirmed by Parliament. The Local Sewer Authorities are further empowered to dredge for or take away anyballast, mud, sand, or other substance, in any river or stream, railway, canal, dock, or harbour, within their district, with the consent of the Local Ballastage and Conservancy Authorities; to deposit such ballast or rubbish on the bank of a river or stream. Power is given to the Local Sewer Authorities to contract with landholders for the ap plication of sewage to theirlands—the terms of such contract in no case to exceed ten years, and landholders may. form associations to take such concessions of sewage. S er Ti n i contracts may be entered into with any winricuoYnotr Persons. Contracts °the Contracts may be renewed.

These numbers make 540 in all. Of the steamvessels afloat 27 are armour-plated screw ships, namely, six third-rate iron ships and six wood, two fourth rate iron ships and one wood; four cupola ships, fourth-rates; one wood corvette, sixth-rate; two sloops, three iron float ing batteries and two of wood. There are 55 ships of the line, screws, and 43 frigates, 37 of them screws. There are also 37 gun vessels and 105 gunboats, all screws. The rest are block ships, corvettes, sloops, mortar ships, small vessels, tenders, &c. Of the 26 steamships building, eight are armour plated—namely, three third-rate iron ships and one of wood; one wood corvette, sixth-rate ; and three iron gunboats. Of the other 18 steam-vessels building, the building of 12 is suspended, and only a frigate, three sloops, and two gun boats, all screws, are proceeding. The return of the Ist of February, 1864, showed 593 vessels afloat and 38 building. There are seven more armour-plated vessels afloat now than there were then, but fewer paddle-ships, fewer gun boats, and fewer sailing ships. The Derby Mercury says :—" We are in l a ss r: i a ; tion to state that Townley was buried on S atur t y d, but in in the model prison, as many parsons s u pp o Finchley Cemetery, near London." [BER.
