Tn. Cause Of Capt. H.rding's Death.

In our illusions to the sad death of Capt. Hard
ing of this city, we have not been able to state
definitely the immediate cause Of his death. He
died of Bright's disease Of the kidneys, Sunday
night, Nov. 2lst, on board the British steamship
Abyssinia, eight days from Liverpool.
A feeling came over him from the first that his
end was near and he gave orders in the arrange
meuts of his affairs which he wanted done, should
be not live. In his intense suffering he remem-
bered his family, to which he was faithfully de-
voted, with an earnest wish that he might see
them once more, and knowing their feelings, he
desired his remains to be buried on shore. Every
thing was done that could be for his comfort dur
ing his sickness, but this last wish could not be
granted. A long passage was before them, mild
weather, with but little ice, and no means Of pre-
serving the remains.
On Monday morning at II O'Clock, with the
American flag waving in the breeze, after the i'm
posing ceremonies Of the burial services. read by
the Surgeon, and appropriate remarks from Col
schurtx of New York, who was passenger, the
body was consigned to its last resting place in lat
43o, 49,; long. $50, 81. The family will long re-
member the kindness Of the officers to, and interest
of the passengers in, the little boy Erriek, left
alone after his fathers death.
