... CARDINAL WISEMAN. CARDINAL WISEMAN died this morning. His name will hereafter rank high among those ecclesiastics who have fought, under great difficulties, the battle of the Romish Church, and achieved great and unexpected, if not permanent, results. In these days of longevity the Cardinal might still have been called a comparatively young man. Of mixed Irish and Spanish extraction, he was ...

... CARDINAL WISEMA N'S FUNERAL. DEATH is SO awful, that it is almost equally impressive under every shape. The utmost pomp, even if it be somewhat theatrical, cannot make it vulgar. The most naked simplicity is not more impressive than the furniture of the undertaker. When man goeth to his long home, and the mourners go about the streets, that one fact dignifies everything. It makes us view with ...

... THE D UC DE MORN Y. BY the death of the Duc de MORNY, which took place yesterday morning, the Emperor of the FRENCH loses one of the most faith- ful companions of his career, and most distinguished instruments of his policy. The successful aspirant to supreme power will never want servants of more or less ability, but it has been the EMPEROR'S fortune to retain during years of sovereignty some ...

... NVAPOLEON ON THE DEATH OF MORNY Is there any man who does not often meditate on his own fate with thoughts deep, doubtful, and almost mysterious, recalling the bitter experiences of the past, and speculating, sometimes hopefully, but more often hopelessly, as to the future l What a power of sa dness there is in every human being, acknowledged daily by each as to himself, but ignored by us all ...

... RICHARD COBDEN. THE tidings of the death of RICHARD COBDEN have created in the public mind a deeper and more general feeling of grief and loss than any similar announcement in late years, except the telegram which told us, about the same period last year, that GEORGE CORNEWALL LEWIS had been taken from among us. To no one can the opening words of the monody on SHERIDAN be applied with greater ...

... THE DEA TH OF THE CZARE WITCH. THERE are some deaths in great houses the political importance of which overshadows all other considerations, and some which mainly serve to remind us that the great trials of humanity are everywhere the same. The Prince who has just died at Nice, some months before his twenty-second birthday, was the heir to one of the greatest monarchies in Europe. But this ...

... MR. PRESCOTT. IT would be doing scant justice to the memory of a good man if the death of so remarkable a person as Mr. PRESCOTT, the banker, should be passed over without comment. For, in these days, a man is remarkable who, possessing considerable powers of mind, a profound knowledge of several intricate subjects, great wealth, a commanding presence, and much aptitude for expressing his ...

... A RECOLLECTION OF PASTA. PASTA is dead-incomparably the finest singer of the age; not for the splendour of her voice-GRISI'S was a thousand times more splendid. not for the marvels of her execution; she did no marvels-MALIBRAN and VIARDOT both executed with ease passages too difficult for PASTA ever to attempt; not either because she had the gift of moving her hearers more than any other great ...
