Cardinal Manning's Funeral.

LONDON, Jan. %. The funeral of his
eminence. Henry Edward Manning, car
dinal priest of the holy Roman church
and archbishop of Westminster, who
died Jan. ID, took place from the orato-
ry at Brompton. At the arch-eplscopal
residence at Westminster and at the ora
tory the body Of the venerable and we'll
beloved prelate has lain in state since
Saturday last, and tens Of thousands Of
people, Catholics and Protestants, have
thus been enabled to take a last look at
the worn, pinched features of the dis
tinguished priest who had done so much
for the working classes of England and
whose name was respected by every one,
rich and poor, by the highest and by
the lowest, irrespective of creed, from
one end of England to the other.
London, on this, the day of the cardi-
nails funeral, was enveloped, half smoth-
cred beneath the densest and blacklist of
all the thick and dark fogs of the season.
People had to almost grope their way to
the oratory, and by the time the requiem
mass was commenced, at II a. m, not
only was the church packed almost to
sufocation inside, but a huge multitude
Of people had gathered on the grounds in
front Of the oratory and in Cheval place,
Brompton square, Sloane street and the
Fulham road. The Brompton road,
fronting the oratory, was packed so
closely with people that it was difficult
for the police to keep traffic moving.
Nearly all the best families in England,
and all the Catholic nobility, were rep
resented inside the oratory, and many
members Of the house of commons and
OF the house of lords being also present.
The brothers of the little oratory in
red and black robes lined the aisles.
The church was one blaze with light,
finely set out by the somber ~drapings of
the altar, walls, pillars and other por-
lions of the interior of the building.
The funeral procession will long be re-
membered in this city as being one of
the most solemnly magnificent wit
messed by the present generation. 1t
was headed by 500 priests in full canon
ical robes, after the priests came four
teen bishops in the most elaborate
ecclesiastical robing, with black capes

white mitres. These fourteen bishops
were eventually grandly grouped about
the front of the high main altar, pre-
senting a most striking picture. Be-
hind them were a number of canons in
the richest mourning vestments, and be-
hind and around and in front of them
was a host of choiristers. The singing
of the choir and the informing
of the priests were simply superb, and
rendered most remarkably harmonious
by the grand pealing of the organ. The
bishop of Clifton, the Hon. William
Clifford, oficiated at the requiem mass,
assisted by the usual number of deacons
and sub-deacons. The bishop of New
port and Menevia, the Rt. Rev. John C.
Hedley, preached the sermon, taking
as his text the second verse Of the tenth
chapter of the book of the Prophet Eze-
kiel.
At the conclusion of the service the
body of the late cardinal was removed
to the hearse and the procession started
for Kensal Green cemetery. 1t was led
by the clergy and distinguished men,
bers of nobility, members of parliament,
delegates of temperance societies, the
labor bodies, etc.
