The military and political news is unimportant.
There has been much excitement in gold this after-

the general scarcity of money.

FUNERAL OF ARCHBISHOP HUGHES

New York papas state that as early as 5 o'c lock
the morning of the day of the funeral people bogatt
to assemble about St. Patrick's Cathedral. The
ceremonial is described as having been most impres-
sive. On a magnificent catafalque in the centre
aisle lay the body of the archbishop, placed in an
uncovered coffin of rosewood, lined with white satin,
the head elevated upon cushions of purple silk. He
was dressed in the archiepiscopal robes and insignia
of office worn in life, the chasuble and the dalmatic
being the under garments. Over these the alb, the
purple soutan, and the cincture of rich velvet em-
broidered in gold. Around his neck was the
palhima, from which was suspended the pectoral
cross of gold. His feet were clad in purple stock-
ings, with shoes of purple velvet and gloves upon
his hands of the same colour. He wore upon his
finger the same ring with which he was consecrated,
26 years exactly from the day upon which he was
buried. On one side of the coffin was placed the crozier,
and on the other the episcopal cross. At the foot
two crosses of evergreens and white japonicas.
After the office for the dead, and grand mass of
requiem, a funeral discourse was preached by one
of the bishops. At the conclusion of this discourse
the ceremonies of la©t absolution were performed,
all the bishops present taking part, each in. turn
intoning the offices and passing round the body,
sprinkling upon it holy water, and swinging over it
the censors filled with burning incense. The re-
mains were borne to the vault near the door by six
priests of the diocess, preceded by the bishops, and
followed by the family and relatives of the de-
ceased, the priests chanting the Benedictus. The
concluding prayers at the vault were read by Bishop
Timon, and the body was again sprinkled with holy
water and incensed, and lowered to its last resting
place. The Archbishop was buried on the 26th
anniversary of his consecration as bishop. He died
on the day of his patron saint, St. John, and had
often expressed a wish to die on that day. The
Courts all adjourned for the day, out of respect to
his memory, and the flags on the public buildings
were displayed at half-mast. All the public (aces
were closed.

The Proposed Arcade from Regent-street to

Bond-street.

Yesterday afternoon an influential meeting of the resi-
dents of St. James's,Westminster, convened by requisition,
was held in the St. James's Vestry Hall, Piccadilly, to take
into consideration the means to be adopted for opposing the
above scheme, The Rev. Mr. Kempe, rector of St. Janes's,
occupied the chair.
The CHAIRMAN said the inhabitants of the district were
' not present for the purpose of considering the desirability of
carrying out the scheme, but for the purpose of opposing it,
It had been publicly stated by those interested in the ar-
cade, through the gentlemen who sympathised with the oa-
jects of the meeting, that the public rates would be charged'_
with the expense of the opposition, but he could assure
them that that was not the case. A number of gentlemen
carrying on business in the parish, and whose property
would be affected by the proposed arcade, were ready and
willing to put down money to meet the expenses, and there
was no danger whatever of the public rates becoming
chargeable. He did not see that the proposed arcade would
in any way contribute to the improvement of the parish. It
was got up entirely for the profit of private individuals. Ho
had already given his reasons for opposing the scheme at a
meeting held last year at St. James's Hall. One of those
reasons was that there a:ready existed in the parish—he
alluded to Burlington Arcade—a nuisance which was the
centre and resort of an evil which abounded and overflowed
the parish. (No, no.) The attention of Lord Chesham, the
owner, had been called to the fact, but he did not possess
the power to get rid of the nuisance, although orders had
been given to the beadles at each end to keep out improper
characters. He would ask, in the case of a public company,
whether they would be able to get rid of the:nuisance;when
a private owner, possessing greater power than ever Parlia-
ment would grant to a public company could not do so. The
arcade when built would become a public thoroughfare,
there would be no beadles to keep out prostitutes. It would
become the lounging place of the young men belonging to
the clubs, and it would also become the lounging place of
prostitutes.
Mr. ALDERMAN COPELA.ND, M.P., said he did: not see
the utility of the proposed arcade to the parish, as they
already possessed access to all the great thoroughfares. if
the members representing the borough did not take the
matter up he would do so himself. He moved the h)llowing
resolution ;—" That the proposal to form an arcade from
Regent-street to New Bond-street is totally unreasonable,
and will, in
.the opinion of the meeting (if carried out),
prove extremely injurious to the surrounding neighbour-
hood." _ _

Mr. CARBONNELL seconded the motion, which -was car-
ried y bY
, large majority after a slight opposition.
Onthe motion of Mr. Bidgood, seconded by Mr. Red-
et a committee was appointed to watch the scheme,
andntotake steps to oppose it in Parliament.
and
e

Mr. Medwin moved and Mr, Hunt ;econded a motion,
to the effect that it be an instruction to the committee to
memorialise the Commissioners of Woods and Fort.sts, and
the corporation of the City of London, to assist ixd watch-
ing over the interests of their tenants.
The motion was carried.
A subscription list having been opened, the pro,ceedinge
terminated with a vote of thanks to the chairman..

THE ALABAMA.—SINGAPORE, Dec. 22, :1863,
The Confederate steamer Alabama anchored in the roads
last night at dark ; her arrival was not known t ill early
this morning. It appears that it was not she that passed
the Koningen on the 17th, but the Wyoming. the Ala-
bama has not been in the neighbourhood of Batavia for
more than a month. She appears to have been cruising off
Saigon, and was the vessel seen at anchor behind Pulo
Condore by the French steamer Echo. The Contest,
already reported, was the last prize destroyed by the Ala.
