At noon.to-day the remains of the fourtecntli Earl of Derby were laid in. the new family vault at St. Mart’s Church, Knowsley. As al ready announced, the funeral was of the most private character.. The cortege consisted only of the hearse, eight carriages containing the relatives, and some eighty of the principal ser vants. Insidethe church, the family chapel, the puipit, communion table and the pews had been draped in black. The ordinary burial service of the Church of England was read by the Rev. W. L. Fielding, Vicar of Knowsley. without any choral addition. The remains ol the deceased Earl were inclosed in throe cof fins, the first formed of oak grown upon the estate; this was inclosed in a lead coffin oi uu uimal strength and weight, bearing upon the top of the lid a coronet, and in the upper panel the words “Edward Geoffrey, iourtoenth Earl of Derby, born March 29,1799, died Oc tober 23.1809. The whole was encased in an oak coffin, covered with crimson velvet, with splendid gilt farmtUre, and a plato bearing a corresponding inscription to that upon the leaden coffin. ■ ■ THE (DCIBEMt'AI. COUNCIL. The Pope and the Connell. The Dope’s enthusiasm respecting the Coun cil is said to be unabated. Not long ago a priest brought him a large sum of money trom the ladies of a German diocese, and in ac cepting the gift the Pope inquired whether the Bishop was coming to the Council. The priest replied , that he was too old, being in his seventy-first year, “lou call il old. exclaimed the Pope. “lam 78, anil I feel voung, and shall assist at the Council without neglecting my other duties.” Under date of OCt. 23, the Roman correspondent ot the London Post writes: Apropos of St.Pe ter’s,l hear that the Marquis of Bute lately wrote to' th(f Pope ottering , to replace the present glass windows of the portico of the church, which are really unworthy of so splen did an edifice, with single panes of massive plate glass for each window, reserving two of them for 'the arms of the Pontiff and his own—pot in color, but merely cut on the glass. His Holiness, after having consulted the architects of the “reverenda fabrica,” and the Konomo, Monsignor Teodoli, instructed the latter to reply to the Marquis that there were at the present moment more urgent restorations required in the basilica than changing the windows of the portico; thank ing Ins lordship at the same time /or his gen erous offer, and hinting that the money re quired for carrying it into effect, estimated at l»,000fr., would he acceptable for other pur poses in the Church. TEE LUTHERAN CHURCH. Reply to the Pope’s Letter. The Evangelical Council of the Lutheran Church, now in session at Chicago, has ad dressed the following letter to Pope Pius Ninth. AVe quote from the report of the pro ceedings: Rev. Dr. Krauth, of the Committee ap pointed to reply to the letter of Pope Pius IX., reported as follows: The Committee appointed to reply to the letter of Pope Pius IX., dated Rome, Sept. 13, 18C9, and addressed to “All Protestants and other Non-Catholics,” would respectfully re port that they organized • by the. appointment of a Chairman, who at once took measures by which an Official copy of the Pope’s letter was secured. After a careful examination of the letter your committee would lay before you the fac't3 following: . 1. The Pope’s letter repudiates, in its only address, all recognition of any part of the Protestant world, as having an organic exist ence as a church—even de facto. It is ad dressed to individuals, as such, and may bo properly replied to by individuals at their per sonal discretion. The idea, for some time current, that Protestants are to have any rights, or are invited to any privileges in the “(Ecumenical Council,” is entirely ground less. Whatever may be the suavity of the manner, the Pope is as inflexible in the tiling as if we were in the middle ages. He simply invites individuals—of whom he affirms that they “do not profess the true faith of Christ,’'' and for whom, collectively, he has no better name' thiin that of “societies” and “sects”—to abandon their convictions arid make their submission to the particular com , munion of which he is head. 2. The indivu(jials tlms addressed are not of a class to which the members of the Lutheran Church belong. Though the Lutheran Church is a Protestant Church, and, in the strict, ori ginal, historic limitation of the word, the only Protestant Church, yet, as the Pope addresses Protestants who are “ nou-Cathoucs,” he uses the term in a sense in which it does not em brace the members of our Church. They are not non-Catholic'Protestants,' but are Pro testants against Home only because Home her self is uon-Catliolic. Our Church believes in the Holy Catholic Church, the Universal Christian Church, the Communion of Saints, whose faith she confesses, and of which she is a pure part, and her true jicople living mem bers. The very address of the letter makes a fictitious assumption, and to acknowledge that it is meant for us would be to gfant an untruth and to fix a stigma upon ourselves. If there be those called' Protestants who con cede that they are non-Catholics, they, and they only, can properly consider the Pope’s ’ letter as addressed to themselves. :t. The Pope raises no pretensions in this let ter which have not been officially rejected by our Church, again and again, and offers no ar guments which have not been completely re fitted in our confession and by our great di vines. . 4. The records of the Lutheran Church, against the errors of Horn mism, written, not only in her own literature and life, hut in the liistorv of the whole civilized world for more than three centuries,is so clear,before Heaven, earth and hell, that any new official protest against those errors, on so slight an occasion as the letter of the Pope, is more than need less, and might almost excite the suspicion, or prompt the insinuation, that the houy which made it was hazarding its dignity by seeming to catch at an opportunity for cheap declama tion, to swell the sensation of the hour, or to 'court-popular applause. C. What is here true of all genuinely Luth eran bodies is preeminently true of this Gen eral Council: We have recently and unre servedly accepted those great confessions of our Church, in the principles of which alone Iloinanism can be successfulv resisted, and which have proved for ages the mightiest bul wark against it, that any official act on our part would seem specially an act of superero gation. In view of these and other weighty reasons your committee made no reply, and would recommend that, none be made to the Pope’s letter. [Signed} C. P. Krauth, Chairman. C. W. SCHAEFFER,' J. A. Skids, G.F. Kkotkl. —Hannibal, Missouri, is a good camping-, ground lor ‘.‘anxious and aimless.” The Courier ' of that city says that there is a “mania” there for, marrying lady, school-teachers.
