Funeral of Major-General Stuart,

(From the Rzchniond _lnquirer, May 14 )
The funeral of this reach lamented and brave
general tool: place yesterday afternoon, at 5 o'clock,
from St. James's Church, corner of Mlrshal and
Fifth streets.

At the appointed hour the cortege appeared in
front of the church, and the metallic coffin contain-
ing the remains of the noble soldier whose now
silent voice had so often startled the enemy with
his stirring battle cry, was carried down the centre
aisle and placed before the altar. 'Wreaths and a
cross of evergreens, interwoven with delicate lilies
of the valley, laurel, and other flowers of purest
white, decked the coffin.
The pall bearers were General Bragg, Major-
General M'Cown, General Chilton, Brigadier-
General Lawton, Commodore Forrest, Captain I ee
(of the navy) and General G. W. Randolph (for-
merly Secretary of War).
The scene was sad and impressive. President
Davis sat near the fcont, with a look of grief upon
his careworn face ; his cabinet officers were gathered
around, while on either side were the senators and
representatives of the Confederate Congress. Scat-
tered through the church were a number of gene-
rals and other officers of less rank—among the for-
mer General Ransom, commanding the department
of Richmond. Hundreds of sad faces witnessed the
scene; but the brave Fitz Lee and other war-wearied
and war-worn men, whom the dead Stuart had so
often led where the red battle was fiercest, and who
would have given their lives for his, were away in
the fight, doubtless striking with a double courage
as they thought of their fallen general.
The short service was read by the Rev. Dr. Peter-
kin, a funeral anthem sung, and the remains were
carried out and placed in the hearse, which pro.
ceedel to Holywood Cemetery, followed by a long
train of carriages.
No military escort accompanied the procession,
but the hero was laid in his last resting place on the
hill side, while the earth trembled with the roar of
artillery and the noise of the deadly strife of armies

Serious Aspect of the Danish Question.

(From the Morning Post.)

The failure of the Conference will be the signal
for England to take a decided part in the Danish
question, We can scarcely expect the Germans to
credit us. They think they know that we shall
never take up arms, and they believe that, so long
as England is ruled by the party of peace at any
price, France will not move, and that thus they
would be untrue to themselves if they did not avail
to the utmost of the advantages of their position.
We believe that they are right in supposing that
the French will not. take nny decided step alone, but
we are equally persuaded that were England to aut.
France would follow. If we were engaged in war,
if [ln English fleet appeared in the. Baltic, Italy
would be convulsed, End the signal would be given
for the French legions to take their part in the new
arrangement of Europe which will assuredly be the
result of the overweening presumption of German
statesmen. We look forward with much regret to
the prospects which are forced upon us. We have
not sought them. They seem inevitable, unless at
the last moment a new and different policy should
obtain favour with the German Sovereigns. On
this, however, we have no right to count, and we
must, therefore, now prepare ourselves to expect a
great and general disturbance issuing from the
present conflict, which will bring to the surface
many of those great questions that are, it may be
allowed, quite ripe for final decision, - -

—the one bent upon desecrating and devastating
his native land, and the other proudly and defiantly
standing in the path, and invoking the blessing of
Heaven upon their cause, to fight in better cheer for
the memory of such as Stonewall Jackson and J.
E. B. Stuart.
