LON I)ON,
WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 21, 1922.

A.very copious account of the ceremonies that
accompanied the funeral of the late Marquis of
LONDONDERRY will he found in another pint of
this Paper. The body of the deceased was brought
to his late resideura in St. James's•►quare, about
one o'clock yesterday morning, and was deposited
in the library. The funeral precession did nut be-
gin to move earlier than half an hour after eight
o'clock, and the melancholy ceremony was filially
closed about ten o'clock.

It had been originally understood that the fu-
neral of the Noble MArquis should he as private as
possible; but this intention, if it had ever been se-
riously entertained by his flietids, was totally
ahyu-
doned, mid the last sad honours which are left to
friendship) to bestow upon departed merit, were in
this 'finance as impressive by their pomp as it was
possible to make them. The Ministers of the
CroWn, the Foreign Ambassadors, considerable
numbers of the Peers, and of the Members of ilie
House of Common., attended upon time melan-
choly Occa►ion to mark their respect to the memory
of the• deceased, cud the occurrence acquired a
deep and painful interest from the unequivocal
tokens of sincere regret which many of his friends
and colleagues shed upon his gnaw. Deeply and
unaffectedly must Lord LONDONDERRY hare been
esteemed and beloved by his colleagues and friends,
when we lind them so little cupable of controlling
their feelings, as to give vent to their tears in the
midst of a vast multitude of people, and during the
solemnity of it public funeral, where they were ap-
pearing cod acting as priucipul characters. Lord
Livelooor., the CRAM:U.I.OR of the EICHERUER,
the LORD CHANcEI.LOR, and even the Duke of
WELLINGToII, paid to the memory of their de-
parted colleague this proud tribute of their affection;
anl there were we think very few persons present at
the funeral, of ingenuous and honourable minds, no
matter whit might have been the colour of their po-
litical sealialtuls, who did not experience some mo-
mentary pain as they viewed the mournful procession
passing over the saute scenes where the Noble Mar-
quis had himself appeated a very short time pre-
vious, in the vigour of mental aud bodily health, as
the most impressive figure in the gorgeous pageant
of the O's coronation.
It is a milordl part of our duty to be compelled to
notice couduct on the part of some of the multitude
who followed the procession, that not °oily evinced
no share in those kindlier feelings to which we have
alluded, but that was totally inconsistent with the
ordinary decency whicli is generally observed upon
such mournful occasions. At the moment of re-
moving the body from the hearse, some of the rabble
who crowded about the entrance to the Abbey mut-
tered a shoot or exclamation that was not meant to
convey honour to the deceased. it seemed to be a
cry of exultation, us if tiny felt • joy its the un-
timely deathof this unfortunate Noblemen, sod took
this sad occasion to testify their hostility towards the
political views which had distinguished the miui►-
terial tuner tailor Marquis of LONDONDERRY. We
feel shame sod ►orruw in noticing this outrage
lOW the common decencies of society. Death
is commonly regarded us a great conciliator,
but in the death of the Marquis of LONDONDERRY
there was something which ought peculiarly to huve
disarmed every angry or unkind feeling toward* the
deceased. The circumstances of his death ought
to operate rather as a striking Issson of humility,
than to give eonutenosece to any base. mod enlnsoly

It is affirmed on good authority, say our journals,
that the Emperor of Russia will set out from St.
Petersburgla on the 15th instant, and arrive at
Vienna on the Gth or 7th of September. With re-
spect to the Congress to be held in Iti,ly, it is in-
volved in obscurity. It is not believed that the
Kiog of Prussia will come to Vienna.
It is asserted that the negnciations for a marriage
between the Crown Prince of Sweden and a daugh.

The war on the coast enroll aaaa es, and the Spaniards,
who were lately reduced to the possession of Puerto
Cabello alone, hare gained ground in Colombia.
Though the Colombians have long blockade d
Puerto Cabello by land and sea, the Spaniards still
hold out. Three Spanish ships of war, with several
merchantmen under their convoy, sailed from this
island on the 28th of May, and took a large quan-
tity of provisions fur the gariison of Puerto Ca-
bello.

The fort Vexign, situated on an eminence that
commands Puerto Cubello, has capitulated; the
Spanish garrison has arrived at La Gain*. The
Colombians beit.g now masters of the heights that
commanded Puerto Cabello, bombard the place
from them.

The accounts from Curiae°, give long details of
the expedition of General Morales.

[Later accounts state, that Morales having pur-
sued the corps of Punottgo, attacked and dispersed
it ou the 7ih June, near aivaptro, and that Pi-
nottgo himself and seven of his officers fell into the
hands of the Spaniards.)—( Dutch Papers. Au-
