FUNERAL OF A FRENCB REFUGEE.

Yesterday the remains of Dr. Queval—one of the
French refugees of the 2d of December—were ac-
companied to their final resting place, Paddington
Cemetery, by a large and respectable body of his
fellow-exiles. The funeral cortege,proceeded from
11], Wardour-street, at half-past ten o'clock, with
banners inscribed with the republican devices—
" Liberte, egalite, et fraternite ;" " The union of
the working classes of all countries ;" " Kosciusko
and 1791"---aud arrived at the burial ground, at
12 o'clock. After the coffin had been lowered into
the grave, - -
Mr. E. COUTURAT said—Citizens, we are met
once more to pay our last respects to the remains
of another victim of the author of the 2d of Dec.,
who instill sufficiently powerful, through the army,
the clergy, the magistracy, and his spies, to be able
to continue his oppression of a great nation. The
citizen whom we have lost—Chas. Antoine Qneval
—was born in the department of the Seinme. Left
an orphan, in poor circumstances, and at an early age,
he was educated by one of his brothers, who was
a clergyman, and by his labour and assiduity he
acquired his diploma of doctor at the age of 28.
He commenced at the same time, in 1846, the
practice of his profession and the profession of that
republican faith which caused him to be imprisoned
twice, and at last drove him into exile, where
he died. Laborious, energetic, and temperate,
his first study on arriving in England was to
acquire a knowledge of the language and to work
for an honourable maintenance. To the poorer
companions of his exile he was a devoted medical
adviser. To his skill and care I attribute it that I
have not preceded him to the grave, where he now
lies. One of his most frequent observations to me
was tnis, " If the democracy does not yet suffi-
ciently represent that power which is to transform
so dety, it is because it has not attained that eleva-
tion from which it may despise the calumny of in-
terested parties, and the great source of its weak-
ness lies in its disunion ; " and over his grave I
repeat after him that no revolution is pesdble, no
social renovation is possible, without a loyal and
sincere union of the great republican party. Let
this union be the epitaph on his grave, and let us.
cry with one heart and voice, " Vive la republique
democratique, sociale et universelle." (Bravos
and cries of " Viva la republique.")
M. TAFFERY also addressed those present in the
same sense.

M. Lours &axe then pronounced a discourse
which was listened to with profound attention, and
of which we can here produce only an outline. He
said—Citizens, once more are we assembled at the
grave of a brother exile, whom I did not know per-
sonally. But that he died a martyr to his republi-
can opinions is sufficient to account for my being
present here to pay the last public act of respect to
his remains. You have heard from those who pre-
ceded me enough of the life and labours of Dr.
Queval to show that in him the republic Sae lost a
true and worthy son. When last 1 addressed you it
was on an occasion similar to the present, but the
circumstances of France now are very different from
what they were on that occasion. At that time,
France not only lay prostrate under the feet of
Louis Bonaparte, but, except in the hearts of sin-
cere republicans, there ware scarcely any signs of
opposition to the despotism of the empire. That
is not the case any longer. At the last election
which took place in Paris, the opposition candidate
was returned against all the influence of the Go-
vernment ; and in Alsace, where that influence
had been brought to b:- ar in an especial manner,
and the name ofthe Emperorfreely used to determine
the decision, the nominee of the Government was
defeated. But these ara net the only signs of the
awakening of France. There is, perhaps, a still
more significant sign in the presence of the son of
M. Baroche at the obsequies of the Duchess of Or-
leans, which may be regarded as a preparation for
a place in the Government which is supposed to be
coming. I sincerely believe that the Imperial Go-
vernment, which, from a vice inherent in its nature,
was destined to lapse into the despotism of the
Caesars, has now its only support in the army and
the clergy, and in a phalanx of spies. It is aban
doned by all that is thoughtful, honourable, and
generous in the country. Even of the bourgeoisie,
who felt so much alarmed at the revolution, who
sacrificed their convictiousto what they mistakingly
considered to be their interests, I would—even
putting the question as one of the stomach—ask,
what have you gained Is business better ? Are
you getting weal, hier 1 Is it, in fact, possible for
affairs generally to improve under a despotism
which must draw the means of its vast expenditure
—and it can only exist by a vast expenditure—
from the labour and industry of the people ?
Speaking not of the people, but of all classes, I ask
if it be true that they have gained materially by
the existence of the empire ? Ido not thick they
will answer in the affirmative. The prospect-of the
republican party, then, has been altered since I last
addressed you, and it now becomes
misrepresented
toconsider
what our duties are. You know that our ideas and
tat intentionswe
e have
ee beenheen
maligned,syslniw licaly
calumniated, and
slandered, and held up as the advocates of pillage,
anarchy, and bloodshed. You know that, in con-
sequence of this system of tactics—which was prac-
tised against us even during the republic—there
exists amongst large classes in France a vague terror
of the lendemain (rune revolution. Lot it be our
duty in the interest of the republic to dissipate this
feeling as far as possible by the moderation of our
language and of our conduct. Let us show that
to far from affairs suffering from the advent
of the republic, the advent of the republic
can alone -give development- and security tin
affairs. Ido not counsel the least compromise of
our ideas. I like strong and firm convictions,
because all true ideas must be firm, strong, and
uncompromising—(bravos)—but they are not in-
compatible with moderation and respect for the
opinion of others. Revolutions are not the work
of a day. The ideas which give them birth have

sion the republic itself must be but an empty
name, as you well know. You know that in the
days of June republicans fought against the re-
pu' lie, and that under the misk of a republican
Louis Napoleon Bonaparte made his way to the
empire. These things could fret happen if the
people knew what the republic was, and how
frommuthat'
ch
their material interests—looking at it even
point of view—were concerned iu ifs
existence. Differences of opinion there may be
and must be, but all republicans can and ought
to unite on the common ground of the republic.
I invite yon, ther.fore, to postpeue all sectional
divis ons and ter onal pr.dilections, that you may
be able to take a ivanta;e of !hat change Void),
for my part, I below) to be inevita'do, leaving it
to the National Assembly tod-cide as to the future
of the repnb'ie. These aro the views which seem
to me app•opriate to the time and to the occa-
siou on which -we are hers assembled. (Bravos,
and cries of "Veva la Popublfq e.")
