This Company has been formed for the purpose of acquiring two concessions granted by the Imperial Government of Brazil for lighting Rio de Janeiro with (Jas. The conces sions, which are dated real. ectively the 11th of March, 1851. and the 13th October, 1851, grant the monopoly of supp ying the city with gas for a period of 25 years from the 25th March, 1851. In consequence of a provision inserted in the former con cession, an assignment was proh bited, except with the con sent of the Imperial Government, and consequently it sk as not competent for the concessionaire to release himself from his individual obligations so as to surrender the concessions absolutely to a company, but ajoint-stock and rtaking , under the sanction of the Government of Brazil, was organised for giving effect to the concession, the concessionaire remaining liable to the Government. The result of the working, from the commencement of 1851 up to the present time, has been hi:2lily satisfactory, and the proposal for a sale of the undertaking to an English Com pany has arisen solely from the necessity which a compara tively new country like Brazil is under, of obtaining capital from the European money markets to aid in i he development cf industrial undertakings. An Imperial decree having been obtained authorising an absolute transfer to a Company to be organised in Euro e of the concessions, and all the rights, powers, privileges, and profits conferred thereby, all obstacles to the undertaking being absolutely vested in a Joint-stock Comp , ny are at an end. Arrangements have accordingly been made with the concessionaire and the Brazilian Com pany for a transfer to the present Company of the comes alone and the works and property of the existing undertaking, including contracts with the Government (the:payments on which arr. guaranteed to be made in gold) and private indivi duals, and for maintaining those works, and constructing and maintaining any other works that may be authorised by any further or supplemental concession. The concession confers the exclusife privilege of furnishing gas to the publi•: authorities as well as to private individuals up to the 25th Marc!). ►B7O, at the price of 8,0 0 refs (17s. 9d.) per 1,000 cubic feet. There are at p esent in the city of Rio about 21,000 houses, of which only 6,900 are now furnished with gaslights. The increase, however, of houses requiring to be so lighted may be taken at about 30 per month. The public lamps exceed 5, 00 in number. The follow ng extracts from the published Reports of the Brazilian Company show the progressive increase in the number of burners since the first introduction of Gas in Rio : _ _ Houses Supplied. Public Lamps.

Under the te.ms of the concession, the Company will be at liberty to introduce into Rio al, machinery and raw material neceassary to the manufactu e of Gas free of duty. The agreement for the purchase of the concessions, and of all the valuab'e Gasworks, connected buildings, and property in Rio, provides that the Concessionaire sha 1 bear the pre liminary and all other expenses of the Company up to the time of the undertaking being handed over to them, and an Im perial decree obtained, approving the transfer, and recognis ing* the , clnp,iny as a SociCie Anonyme in Brazil. Theur chase money will be paid as follows:—£150,003 out o f p the deposits on al'otment, and the balance, £450,000 on 30th June next, or so soon thereafter as the property is handed over to the Company and the Imperial decree obtained. The Company has the option of paying one-half of the purchase money in fully paid up shares. The profits of the undertaking will accrue to the Share holders as from Ist July next. The Subscribers will thus acquire a valuable property and an existing business, the net profits of which(without taking into consideration the progressive increase which past ex perience shows may be certainly expeo ed), will yield them an immediate return on their capital exceeding 10 per cent. per annum. Copies of the concession and of the agreement of purchase, together with the articles of association, can be inspected at the offices of Messrs. Iti-chs. - n Dalrymple, Drake, and Co., 46, Parliament-street, Westminster. frospesltuses nd forms of application for shares can be obtained of Messrs.

CARDINAL WISEMAN'S FUNERAL. Further Particulars. THE FUNERAL SERMON—delivered yesterday from the pulpit of the Pro-Cathedral of Moorfields by the Right Rev. Monsignore Manning, formerly Archdeacon of Chichester, now distinguished among the Catholics as Canon and Provost of Westminster —was, according to a brief epitome of it, somewhat as follows. Taking as his text this passage from Nehemiah—" Let Nehemiah be long remembered, who built up again for us our walls which were cast down, and made strong the gates and bars, and built again our houses "—the Preacher said : ' "It was quite beyond him to speak of what was before him. He saw bishops of the Catholic Church in England shorn of their chief dignity. More than one-half of them had received from him who was gone episcopal consecration ; most of the priests there had been taught by him and set apart by him to offer the Holy Sacrifice. To these his loss was a personal grief. A multitude of others were there who learnt the truths of Christianity , from his lips, who would have been to this day infidels had he not been among us. The private sorrow of his Catholic friends ascended into a public mourning and became a universal grief—all over England requiems were rising from other altars in unison. And great manly England—though not Catholic—had paid its tribute to the memory of the great Cardinal. Wherever the English tongue is known all have joined or will join together. And in Rome among others the Supreme Pontiff, for when he heard of the dangetous nature of the Cardinal's illness he said—' This and the death of the Archbishop of Cologne are great blows to me. But the will of the Lord be done.' When he died Catholics in England were about to celebrate the 25th anniversary of his consecration. They had seen his tenacity to life—and had deceived themselves with the belief that the full course of 25 years would have run, and they would have been able with him to keep the jubilee. They were then keeping the vigil of the festival, which will be kept by him, not as they had intended, but in a far nobler manner. He could not speak the panegyric of such a man—the name of Nicholas Wiseman was panegyric enough within the unity of the Church, and even beyond its bounds. In 1860 the Supreme Pontiff said, ' Truly he is the man of Divine Providence for England.' There was a correspondence between the character of the man and the age, and a proportion between him and the country to which in God's providence he had been sent. It was necessary to understand the time and crisis when he came among us. That was not a day to ro open old wounds—the kindly stream of forgetfulness had healed those. Five and thirty years ago came the reaction all over the civilised world once more to Catholic faith and piety. The undulation of the movement even reached our island-shore ; a new system of legislation set in, and the Catholic Church was free. Her chains fell away, and the holy Mass was once more offered upon English altars. After 300 years the frost-bound land began to relax, and after the frost came the flow. The intellectual and spiri tual traditions of centuries began to change, but there was wanted a leader to show the way, a shepherd to guide the sheep. At that time one was preparing himself—God had fixed his Divine eye on a child born in Spain. The splendour of the Church there fired his mind, and to his death the glory of that Church was .after that of its Divine head the object of his dearest wishes. Ho came to England, and there learnt that true, noble, manly English spirit of which Englishmen have now learnt to be proud. He was a boy of solitary thoughts, of industrious study. But the other day an old friend pointed out the house in Durham where, sheltering from rain when at college at Oscott, came the first sparks of great light which afterwards illumined us all. From England he went to Rome to receive the last touches for his great work under the shadow of the Vicar of Christ. It was in the chapel of the English College, before the Blessed Sacrament, that be conceived the idea—phantasy, or madness, or hope, call it what you will—of the conversion of England. In the Church •of the Sapienza, at Rome, where the altar of the Blessed Sacrament is also the altar of the Immaculate Blessed Virgin, the thought came on him that England rejected the two great mysteries. Then he went to that great Pontiff, GregoryXVl., and offered to resign the rector ship of the English College that he might go to England to found a mission. In 1835 he preached from that pulpit, but the time was not come, and he returned to Rome to finish his preparation. Gregory XVL soon nominated him as a Vicar Apostolic in England, and hero ho came to do the work of his life. When expostulated with for his visionary projects he said, I may be sanguine and in error, but I would rather err and fall on the side of true theological virtues than fall on the side of human prudence. I am prepared, if I fail, to meet the smiles on earth and in heaven, for I know the smiles of heaven are not scornful.' Then the time came when Pius IX., in the exercise of his imperishable prerogatives, marked out the ground and appointed the hierarchy of the Catholic Church in Eng land, when the Bishop of Melipotamus became Archbishop of Westminster and Cardinal Priest of the Holy Roman Church. He would not then recall the acts at that time of the noble-hearted people of England, who soon cane to see there was no necessity for excitement. The Cardinal Metropolitan of the Church said in a pastoral letter—'Your beloved country is by this act restored once more to that cluster of Churches which when properly constituted, form the Catholic unity. The Church in England begins once more her motion round the centre of light. The next 50 years, as the last 50, would do much for England. The ex pansion and multiplication of the Church must now go on for ever. For the last five years the Cardinal had sat in the shadow and on the brink of the grave ; but his mind was as active and zealous for the work as ever. He had been asto nished among the many tributes which had been paid to his memory to find one who showed a blank misapprehension of the archbishop. One had said his was 'a mighty en trance but a feeble exit.' How could that be when he saw rising again the walls which had been thrown down and the houses of the faithful multiplying ? Did they think he was one of those visionary expectants who think the twenty millions of our hard-headed but noble-hearted countrymen will rise up suddenly one morning in the Catholic faith ? He was like the poor fisherman who en tered powerful Rome, weak indeed, but nevertheless strong because he was the Vicar of Jesus Christ. He knew the word of the Lord would accomplish the work whereto he sent it, and that the harvest would not come until after the early and latter rain. At the time of making his last will —the testament of the great Prince of the Church—(the will was like that of him of the Beautiful gate, Silver and gold have I none, but such as I have I give unto thee') he had told them, I leave you aspirations, and the centre of them must be love for the Vicar of Jesus Christ.' Next he left with them the love of sinners. Thirdly, he bequeathed the supremacy of faith, pure and unintermingled—the Divine faith of the day of Pentecost. In one of those majestic scenes of his majestic end he declared he never had enter tained a doubt of any of those articles of faith which he de sired to teach other men. His first famous work was on The Harmony of Science and Revelation'—those two streams which if they flow in different channels rise from one fount; and he followed it up with others not less im portant. He had intended to send round his diocese a series of pastoral letters on The Harmony of Science and Revela tion from Septuagesima to Easter,' but it was not to be ; and now they could mourn the loss but could not repair it. He bequeathed to them also the principle of the Catholic training of the young, and it was essential that this should be maintained. " I have never," he said, " known a good man so misunderstood by the public. That misunder standing, however, must, no doubt, to some extent, be attributed to his own character. This man, who was sup posed to be so stately and so self-sustained, was the shyest, the most modest, the most bashful man I have ever met. He had the shyness of a boy with the bashfulness of a maiden. His tenderness and his benignity were perpetually manifested in his respect for women and his love for chil dren. I never knew a man speak of others, even when they deserved severity, with so much measured tenderness. With his large charity was united the most profound humility. A greater humility in so great a man it has never been my lot to witness. Another remarkable trait in his character was, that for the misfor tunes of others, while he gave them his deepest sym pathy and assistance, he never shed a tear ; but at the mention of any great act—of anything heroic or mag nanimous, the tears sprang at once to his eyes." Now, if ever there were one who used his gifts freely for the love of God, and without any thought of him self, it was Cardinal Wiseman. He bad actually in his younger days taken advice whether, lest he might be drawn into vanity, he ought not to drop bia TaitlPS• g PRICE 4(1 .4 STAMPED rid. - , It was the love of God and his neighbour which impelled him to come forward in books and lec tures. He had the shyness of a child and the bashfulness of a youth. The last year, and the last days especially brought out the love of G o d th a t was i n him. He was a true Englishman, for he always shrunk from making professions by the lips. One near him during his illness 'said, ' I fear you suffer greatly.' I don't suffer at all,' he replied; 'think of the poor. I have a good bed to lie upon, and I have made it a rule never to call anything pain until it is unendurable.' When they told him it was necessary to undergo another Painful operation he said, under the promptings of nature, cannot,' but he imme diately recalled the words, and said, ' That will not do ; if it is right it must be done.' When he was to receive the Viaticum he was only then impatient because they were delaying what was his chief solace. When the last opera- . tion was announced to him, and it was said if he did not submit he could not . live out the night, he remarked, 'How unkind of them to operate—otherwise they said I would be in Heaven to-night.' Just when they were offering for him, in his own chapel, the Sacrifice of Redemption, his last breath was departing. One said of him, We have lost a man w orthy to represent the Universal Church in the face of this great people which, strong sometimes in its re sentments, had learnt to revere him.' Then, turning to wards the bishops, Dr. Manning continued—" It is for you, right rev. fathers, to bear him out and lay him under the green sod, outside this wild multitude of men, where the holy cross towers above the tombs, and where they who were round him in life will be round him in death. He is not here ; he will not be there ; but he is before the throne of the great Pastor of the sheep, his hands lifted up in prayer for those whom he loved so well, for you, for England, and for the Church." From the time the procession, which was nearly two miles long, began to defile away from the cathedral it was with difficulty the police could re .. r. throngs of people who crowded in from every quarter. The hearse seemed to be the object of the most attention. It was an open bier on wheels, with the pall of cloth of gold, and sur mounted by a crown signifying the rank of Prince, while wreaths of immortelles and the presence of sundry crosses bespoke at once a hope of resurrec tion and a trust in the merits of the Crucified. Along the route, which was by the City and Euston roads to Paddington, thence by the side of the canal to Kensal-green, the crowds seemed to increase at every step, and, unfortunately for the general effect, the procession in some way came to be divided, and one moiety lingered far behind the other. Hardly a house along the route but had a party at its win dows ; hardly a dozen yards of the pavement toge ther were unoccupied by groups of people, while at the corners of the principal roads wherever it was possible that the procession should move by more ways than one there were compact masses of sight seers, who gave plenty of occupation to the police that were distributed along the line of road. Occasionally, when a Dominican chanced to put his head out of a carriage window, some irreverent lad would vent his chaff ; but on the whole the procession was treated with marked respect, as if the most ultra-Protestant felt that was no time for weighing theological differences. At last, when the carriages had toiled up the side of the Anglican cemetery at Kensal-green—which we propose should hereafter be called " Kensal-mud," from the many inches of that agreeable compound there to be met with—and had set down the clergy at the gates the procession was once more gathered together, and though the shades of night were falling fast everything was done regularly, if a little more speedily. The clergy went first in surplice and cas sock, each bearing a taper, not yet lighted. The bishops came next, and when the coffin was moved from the hearse to a little truck the pall was borne by the members of the Chapter, who thus saw their superior to his last home. The grave, prepared un der the experienced direction of Mr. Garstin, of Welbeck-street, who had charge of the funeral arrangements, in ground about 50 yards from the little cemetery chapel, and set apart for the clergy, was a vault eight feet deep, brick lined and lime washed. Round the vault were barriers draped with black serge, on which white crosses were laid ; and at some little distance farther were other barriers, which, with the aid of 250 volunteer members of Roman Catholic charitable societies, helped to keep off the crowd, for Sir R. Mayne, it was said, would not allow a single policeman inside the cemetery. ground. At twenty minutes past five the pro cession advanced to the grave. Then was borne in the crucifix, with a large taper on either hand; and then came bishops, while the priests began to chant the plaintive Miserere, and lit their tapers. Next came the Pope's Chamberlain, bearing the red hat, and then was brought the coffin covered with the pall, on which lay a magnificent wreath of red and white camellias. Speedily, amid mournful hymns, was lowered to the grave the oaken coffin, with its large brass breast-plate and plate of the cardinal's arms, and the responses of the ser vice, which, dealing with death, is sad, but hopeful of resurrection is joyous, were again heard as a bishop read the final prayers. At this moment the group around the grave was exceedingly picturesque. The mourners in deep mourning with crape hat bands, on the brink of the vault, the bishops in their violet dresses, the canons with their sad and solemn faces, the one or two distinguished persons wearing the badges of their orders, a few gentlemen in white gowns and crimson capes, and bearing candles in silver swinging lamps—members,webelieve, of some guild or brotherhood—and, filling the outer space, the white-robed priests, with, beyond these again, a mass of people pressing against the barriers wait ing their turn to go to the vault and see the coffin, formed a picture which it hardly needed the burn ing tapers to lighten up, and which few who saw it will ever forget. Unstudied, as it was, it was the most effective scene of the day ; and while some were yet admiring it, it was dissolved, the clergy— bishops, canons, priests, and monks—turned their faces from the grave, and into the fast-falling dark ness, not more impressed than those Protestants who were present with the mystery before them, and not more disposed to echo in their hearts the Christian aspiration. _ _ Scarcely a month before the deceased Cardinal's death ho had been occupied in preparing a lecture on Shakspere, three parts of which he had completed and carefully collated with a lecture on the same subject by Lord Brougham. Feeling a little ex hausted with his work, he took a carriage airing in the direction of Battersea, when unfortunately he took cold, in consequence of which his chronic symptoms becoming acute his strength finally gave way, and all the skill and exertions of his medical attendants could only avail to defer a little the final release from suffering. During his last illness he had to submit to more than one painful operation, but he bore all with perfect patience and resignation. "THE TIMES" of this morning speaks of the Cardinal himself in these words :—" In learning, in benevolence, and piety, it will be long ere the Eng lish Roman Catholic hierarchy can expect again to find the like of Nicholas, Cardinal Wiseman." Our leading contemporary observes, in regard to the funeral of yesterday :—" That it took place amid such circumstances of ritual pomp as, since the Reformation at least, have never been seen in this country, and, we may add, amid such tokens of n public interest., and almost of sorrow, as do notof te mark the funerals even of our most illustrious_ deea ofd Not since the State funeral of the Great Duke t o . Wellington has the same interest been behold the superb religious pageant of evinced yesterday. Since the death of Cardinal Wolsey, we believe, no English Cardinal has been buried in this country, and the funeral obsequies were looked forward to as likely to afford a s plendid ceremonial o f the most impressive kind.

This Institution is designed to supply a great national want, viz., an asylum for the orphan daughters of sailors in the Royal Navy and Merchants Service and of Marines. It clothes, maintains, and educates them for domestic service, and provides a home free of expense for former inmates while out of situations, thus shielding them from the temptations they might otherwise be exposed to. The Committee earnestly APPEAL for CONTRIBU TIONS to meet the increasirg applications through the recent storms and less ( f life at sea, and to enable them even ually to obtain premises more commensurate with the necessities of this great maritime country, which loses 2,000 sailors annually by casualties alone, without including those who may perish by war.

Agents wanted in towns not yet represented. .ems was received with marks of profound respect. At least three-fourths of the shops along the line of route were closed —the streets were lined with sper tators, and every window and balcony _ .was thronged. Altogether the feeling among the public seemed -- deeper than one of mere curiosity—a wish, perhaps, to forget old differences with the late Cardinal, and render respect to his memory as an eminent Eng lishman, and one of the most learned men of his time." AMONG THE ILLUSTRIOUS PERSONS who were ex in attendance, or represented Th e -Q ueen of the French, Marie Amelie, the widow of Louis Philippe, was represented by her cham berlain, Count de Chabannes, who sat on the north side of the choir. In the ambassadors' seats were the French ambassador, Prince de la Tour d'Auvergne ; the Minister from Belgium, the Spanish Minister, and the representatives of nearly all the Catholic Powers in Europe. Among the nobility and persons of distinction present were— the Marchionesses of Londonderry and of Lothian, the Duke of Sutherland, the Earls of Courtenay, Malmesbury, Kenmare, Orford, and Buchan ; the Dowager Countesses of Buchan and Newbury ; Viscounts Feilding, Campden, Southwell, and Castlerosse ; Lords Edward Howard, Stafford, Petre, Lovat, and Harks ; Count Torre Diaz and Count Eyre ; Sir G. Bowyer, Sir Hungerford Pollen, Lady Catherine Berkeley, Lady Milford, the Hon. Mrs. Agar Ellis, the Hon. Miss Caithorpe, the Hon.

THE " DIES Irt.E."—At this portion of the cere mony an extraordinary effect was produced by all the great choir of priests and dignitaries lighting candles to read and follow the music of the Dies Irx, which was next to be sung. Without such extra aid it would have been difficult for any in the gloom to read at all, and the effect of this sudden illumination, which showed distinctly the features and rich dresses of the whole throng of superbly clad ecclesiastics, who rose to recite the hymn, was one of the most singular and impressive features of the whole ceremony. Then for the first time the magnificent vestments could be fully seen, and as the assemblage of every rank in the Church of Rome, from mendicant friars to Bishops and Arch bishops, stood around the coffin to join in that great chant of mournful praise, the scene became one of such grandeur as almost approached the sublime of stately religious ritual. The magnificent chorale of this great song of fear and entreaty was given as it has certainly never been given before in England, and there was a positive murmur among the con gregation as its long, sad, wailing chorus closed at last in intervals of melancholy sound. THE BISHOPS AND PRIESTS IN THE SANCTUARY — TO THE NUMBER OF THREE HUNDRED.—AII the Bishops wore mitres, not the costly and magnificent head-dress which is usually assumed, but the mitre of plain white and gold used on these occasions at masses for the dead. All, however, were alike at tired in the most gorgeous vestments, wearing superb copes of cloth of silver shot with violet over all. In the dim and misty gloom of the interior and amid the silence with which they passed slowly and noiselessly in front of the carpeted altar, they seemed more like shadows or a vision of some bye gone pageantry of Rome than anything one might expect.to see in London in the midst of this prosaic 19th century. Yet, strange as the scene was to the eyes of Londoners, none could deny the grand and mysterious solemnity of its effect, and the most breath less silence reigned ,throughout the building as the rich crowd of ecclesiastics, now nearly 300 in num ber, wound slowly and silently to their places in the gloom of the sanctuary, where at last their presence was only dimly indicated by the pale gleam of the mitres and the glitter of the copes as the glare of lights from round the coffin reached them. e./44-ee d_ ' Capital Punishment within Gaols. Mr. Hibbert, Mr. Bonham Carter, and Viscount Enfield have brought in a bill to provide for the carrying out of capital punishment within gaols. This bill proposes to enact " 1. The sentence of. death to be executed on a prisoner condemned to death, after the passing of this act, shall be carried into effect within the walls of the gaol in which the prisoner shall be confined immediately previous to his execution.

" 5. Any person who shall sign any such certificate or declaration, knowing the same to be false, shall be guilty of a misdemeanour. " 6. Printed copies of such certificate and declaration, and of the inquisition of the jury, shall be forthwith exhibited on or near to the principal entrance to the gaol ; and every such certificate, declaration, and inquisition shall, as soon as convenient, be transmitted by the sheriffs to the Secre tary of State for the Home Department "7.

The Chartered Gas Company appeared yesterday in the persons of its representatives to answer a charge of sup plying gas out of less illuminating power and less purity. than was required by the act of 1860. The case was only partly heard yesterday, and the proceedings were journed.
