 LONDON, Oct. 12.-Fhe Parnell funeral passed of very peacefully. That thsre was no disturbance was owing to the wise resolve of the Anti-Parnellites not to be present. William O'Brien, John Dillon and Sexton watched the scene from the window of a friends house on the route of the procession. The curtain was kept closed, so that the three M. P'S only had furtive glances at the great enonstration, while they themselves remained entirely hidden from view.
 It is said that MT. Dillon had ex- pressed his intention of witnessing the funeral, whatever the result to himself, and that 1t was with some difficulty that he was induced to run no more risk than that of peeping Tom. In nearly all the churches in Ireland yesterday some al- fusion was made to the death of Parneu. In some instances the mention was charitable; in other cases it was re- f1ection of the language of Archbishop Walsh in the Dublin Catholic.
 Friends of Parnell claim that the bishop had given secret instructions that his memory should be attacked by the clergy, with the view of injuring the Parnellite cause as much as possible. In several instances admirers of Parnell left their seats in the churches when they heard anything of an offensive character.
 The funeral and advices from all parts of Ireland show that the Parnellite cause has been strengthened by his death, and that he has left party that will go on under a new leader.
 The Obsequies.
 Parnell's remains arrived at Kingston at ' a. m. yesterday. There was no demonstration along the line from London until Chester was reached, when deputa- tions from Liverpool, Manchester, Pres Dublin, joined the train. The Parlia- mentary colleagues of MT. Parnell, in- cluding John Redmond, John O'Connor, Joseph Nolan, Dr. Fitzgerald, James O'Kelly and Henry Campbell were among the people that greeted the deputations On their arrival at Holyhead, where the train got in at 3 o'clock in the morning, in wet and haEy weathsv, that we'll be- came the mournfulnsss of the scene.
 
 watch the transfer of the coffin from the train to the mailboat Ireland. It was depressing spectacle. The coffin was deposited in an enclosure specially fitted up for it. Throughout the voyage across the stormy and dark waters that separate the two countries, some of the Parnellites were all the time on guard over the remains of their beloved leader. Among the watchers was the Lord Mayor of Dublin, High Sheriff Meade and J. H. Parnell brother of the departed. At the Kingston pier 8 multitude was gathered to receive the remains.
 With the Irish members who had fol = lowed the body from England, the group at Kingston included nearly every Par liamentary adherent of Parnell. They all gathered around the coffin in abso- lute silence until after the remains had been transferred to the carriage of the train for Dublin.
 The Westland Row station in Dublin was reached at 7:30 8. m. A vast silent crowd awaited with uncoverd heads as \ the train steamed into the station. ! Timothy Harrington, M. F., was there, ! and Dr. Hackett, who attended Parne Il ! when his eyes were hurt at Kilkenny, ! and they joined the band of mourners. ! Conspicuous in front of the dense mas sses | of people were mem bers of the Gaelic ! and Athl etic societies, with their hurlers | used in their sports, draped black, and | tied with green ribbon. The representa- | tives of branches of the National League | wore black badges, on which were the \ dying words of Parnell: "Give my love | to my colleagues and the Irish nation. '' When the remains had been removed l in solemn silence from the train, the ! coffin was taken from the case that en- veloped it and was lifted into the hearse, the glass panels of which permitted a full exposure of the coffin to public view.
 The case in which the coffin had been enclosed on the way to Dublin was laid aside. The crowd immediately seized | upon and broke it into small pieces, to | carry away as mementoes of the dead.
 As the hearse moved from the station body of police formed before the pro cession, which, without any design o1 marshaling, appeared to fall into an orderly line in purely extemporized fashion. A band and the Workingmen's Union, followed next after the police, the
 band playing the dead march in Saul.
 Then came the Gaelic and Athletic SO
 cieties, with their hurlers reversed, after the manner of soldiers carrying reversed
 arms.
 The City Hall of Dublin was reached
 at S:30 a. m. The front of the hall was
 covered with sombre draperies, and 8

 hall, ignoring the clements in theil

 of remarkable serenity. Reverentia

 partisan cries, or the remotest symptom
 to disorder. At 10 o'clock the gates were open ed
