eminence, Henry Edward Manning, car
dinal priest of the holy Roman church
and archbishop of Westminster, who
died Jan. IA, took place from the orato-
ry at Brompton. At the arch-episcopal
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 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 blackest 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 10
suffocation 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 sc
closely with people thst 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 jim
red and black robes lined the aisles
| The church was one blaze with light
finely set out by the somber drapings oi
the altar, walls, pillars and other por.
tions of the interior of the building
The funeral procession will long be re
membered in this city as being one oi
the most solemnly magnificent wit
messed by the present generation. Il

ical robes, after the priests came four
teen bishops in the most elaborate
ecclesiastical robing, with black capel
ornamented with silver braiding ant
white mitres. These fourteen bishops
were eventually grandly grouped abou
the front of the high main altar, pre-
senting q most striking picture. Be
hind them were number of canons il
the richest mourning vestments, and be
hind and around and in front of then
was host of choiristers. The singing
Of the choir and the intoninf
| of the priests were simply superb, ant
rendered most remarkably harmoniou,
by the grand pealing OF the organ. TIL,
bishop of Clifton, the Hon. William
Clifford, officiated at the requiem mass
assisted by the usual number Of deaconl
| and sub-deacons. The bishop of New
| port and Menevia, the Rt. Rev. John C
Hedley, preached the sermon, takine
rs his text the second verse of the tentl
chapter of the book of the Prophet Eze
