DUBLIN, Oct. "a. 1873.
Cardinal Paul Cullen, Roman Catholic
Archbishop of Dublin, was taken suddenly
ill at two O'Clock this afternoon and died
at ten minutes to four. He had been
suffering from delicate health ever since
his return from Rome, where he attended
the Conclave last February. Last week he
presided over meeting of the Irish bishops
and directed the expression of opinion on
the intermediate Education Act lately
passed by Parliament.
DINING WITH THE vICERoY.
On Tuesday last he went to dine at the
Viceregal Lodge, in the Phoenix Park, with
His Excellency the Lord Lieutenant, and
on Wednesday he met the Wears of the
Archdiocese of Dublin at his house, trans
acting the diocesan business as usual. Some
of the Wears dined with him at four O'Clock,
his usual dinner hour, and at half-past five
he complained of pains in his ribs and
about the heart He retired to bed and
passed quiet night, but felt no improve
ment.
RECEIVES THE LAST sACRAMENTs.
On Thursday morning DR.. Cruise was
called, who pronounced the malady serious,
but had no apprehension of immediate dan
ger. He arranged for consultation with
DR.. Dominiok Corrigan, one Of the most
eminent physicians in Dublin. at tour
o'clock. In an hour the Cardinal began to
O'Reilly, who heard his confession. Mgr.
Woodlock, rector of the Catholic University,
administered the last sacraments.
f.a as.7s THE DEATH SCENE. .e
The Cardinal spoke the responses in the
prayers for the dying, and at the last mo-
ment shook hands with his private secre-
tary, DR.. lyman; with DR.. McCabe, Coadju-
tor Bishop Of the diocese; with his con-
fessor and with Mgr. Woodlock. He

Cardinal dead.
DUBLIN IN MOURNING. e.
As soon as the news of the death spread
through the city the church bells were
tolled, and by five o'clock the whole city
presented a mournful appearance. The
shops in the immediate neighborhood of
the Cathedral, in Marlborough street, were
partially closed and every mark of respect
was shown the dead Cardinal. He died in
plainly furnished bedroom. The body is
being embalmed and will lie in the private
chapel till Saturday and will then lie in
state in the Cathedral. A solemn requiem
Office will take place on Monday and tho
body will be buried on Tuesday in the
Cathedral vaults. It is singular fact that
at the first school attended by the Cardinal
in the county Kildare his quarters were the
same as those occupied at former period
by the famous Edmund Burke.
HIS PROBABLE SUCCESSOR.
DR.. McCabe, Coadjutor Bishop Of the
diocese, is likely to succeed the Cardinal.
DR.. McCabe has long been connected with
the diocese, and is very much esteemed for
his mildness of character and abstention
from interference in politics. He was for
many years parish priest in Francis Street
Church, and at the time Of his promotion
was in charge of the very important parish
of Kingstown.
REQUIEM MASSES.
Masses for the repose Of the soul Of the
Cardinal will be said in oil the Catholic
churches of the diocese on Friday and
every day till the burial takes place. Car
dinal Cullen leaves large fortune. Father
verdon, his nephew, was also with him at
the time Of his death, and received q great
shock. The Catholic citizens Of Dublin
will wear mourning till the months mind.
