The Funeral of Mr. Thaeeray.
BY ara. TOM TAYL9R.

LONDON, Theraday Afternoon, Dec .
. 31,1863.
I have seen many burials of distinguished man,
*erne 'publie, some private, some without public
pOmp, yet attended by sympathizing or curiou s
crowds ; but I never remember a burial MOM line
premise or affecting than that of W. lit-Thackeray,
At Hensel Green, yesterday. Three prominent Wrie
ten, connected With Punch, have passed away within
the last few years—G. A. A'Becket, Douglas Jer.
Zold, and Thackeray. They all lie buried Mete same
-cemetery. But there was a notable distinction in
their interments. .a.'llecket was attended to the
grave by a small body of private friend.. His mo•
sleet and retiring disposition no less than the kind of
work with which his mime was conneeted i suffloiently
accounted for his unmarked funeral. .Yerreld was
followed to his long home by even a greater crowd
than was assembled yesterday ; but, while his lite
rary brethren Were Well represented in the assem
blage, it was . mainly composed of the working
classes, for whom he felt so keen a sympathy, and
Whose cause he pleaded with a warmth that was
sometimes unjust, but always generous. But the
crowd which yesterday gathered within ICensal
Green Cemetery was almost made up of men in
some sense representative • and nearly all of the
classes Whose manners Thaa ' keray had most studied,
whose weaknesses "be bad most subtly detected,
and whose shams and sore points he had Moat
mercilessly laid bare. There were the literary men
to whose little foibles and vanities, improvidence
and generosity, be had dealt even measure ofjostice ;
the artiste, for whose fopperies and faults of man
ner, or defects of educatiOn, he had as keen en
eye as for their high aspirations and exquisite
enjoyments; the ofilciale, Lawyers, and men about
town, and swells, and soldier!, whose orders had
all in turn passed under his scalpel, and on to
the of of his microscope. Yet there seemed
but one feeling in that large crowd. Respect and
love for the departed, and sympathy fortis children,
brooded like a presence, and gave an awful solemni
ty to the responses which rose from hundreds of re
verent voices in the bright and genial air that
breathed rather of spring than Olnistmas.time. At
that moment it seemed as if every thought in those
hundreds of hearts was attuned to one sentiment.
All the little foibles and susceptibilities to which no
eminent man was evermore subject than Thackeray
were lost eighl of in the strong sense of his gentle,
noble, and generous nature. the genislity and play
fulness of his humor, the warmth of his heart, and
the openness of his hand, the readiness of his re
cognition of excellence, his delight In helping for
ward the gtrugglerfser the student , the genuineness of
his aversion to all that was shifty, saufiling, or in
sincere ; his hearty hatred of a snob, and his sou
rageons contempt and loathing of oppression.
Looking back over the experience of a long and in
timate acquaintanceship with the dead, I find- that
all has disappeared but the impiession of one of the
sweetest and kindliest hearts, one of the robustest,
subtlest intellects,with which I have been permitted
to communicate. I believe this to be the impression
al all who krew Thaekerey well, and could judge
him on fair data,f.and of none more than Some head
been at feud with, on causes due often to their own
inconsiderateness or want of feeling, notunfrequent.
ly to his own touchiness in little matters, or his ex
cessive susceptibility to opinion. Thinking of the
inference which has often been drawn from Thad:e
ters writings that he was a man who took a cyni
cal pleasure in laying bare baseness or littleness, in
showing respectability how much it may have in com
mon with the blackguardism it shrinks from—not be
cause he loved respectability less, but because he
loved blackguardism more—in revealing selfishness
under all sorts of masks, I am astonished how the
notion ever took root. Such inferences were con
tradicted by everything his friends saw in Thacke
ray'a life and manners. No man &lighted mote to
hear of good, generous, or unselfish actions, or was
heartier or louder in his recognition of them. Better
still, no life was ever more made up of such actions.
But his subtle ken pierced through the multiform
disguises of selfishness and meanness, and his truth
ful nature compelled him to lay bare what he found
underneath. His hatred of pretension and "Phari
ma'am concurred with his large charity in leading
him to point out how the web of all lives is 'shot
With lights and darks. Bat there was never any
confounding of black end white, atillleseanyainiater
sympathy with evil thoughts, words or doings, or any
preaching of the doctrine either of despair or devil
worship. Perhaps there never was a man who was
more freely resorted to by the needy and the helpless
Of his literary contraternity ; and certainly there was
so man who ever recognized more fully the claims
of such brotherhood. All who knew him must re
member almost comical cases of the straits he was
often put to to find work and pay for unfortunate
litterateure, who had sought Ms aid—how he groaned
and sweated, and protested, but always paid and
comforted. I can hardly command myself yet to
write of Thackeray% sweet and amiable manners
as a Companion, guest, or host ; of the playfulness
el his wit, the charm of his manner the gentleness
of his voice, the sweetness of his smile. There was
much of the child about him at such times, as
there was always something childlike in his calm,
candid face and soft, bright eyes. "No man," says
The Times writer of his obituary notice, " was
more cordially hated, or more. warmly beloved." I
do not believe anybody cordially hated Thackeray,
though many disliked his writioga--all the snobs of
course, and many good and amiable women who
could not tolerate either his raillery, his irony, or his
inability to see geese as swans. I believe that every
one with any susceptibility to the good in character
who ever came into personal contact with Thacke
ray loved him. It was impossible not to regret-Berne
/Imes that he sb dbe so susceptible to the allele of
L
small annoyer' frord'emall men ..; but many great
men have share weakness with hint. But these.
simnel nobleness and sweetness of nature was so
palpable and pleasant in the whole way of hie life
that these and other weaknesses soon disappeared
in their light. I have no doubt that his abandon.
went of the editorship of the Cornhill Magazine was
far more due to the pain it cost him to destroy hopes,
and shut the door against earnest, often painful
efforts, than to any less creditable considerations.
Indeed, he made so great a pecuniary sacrifice in
throwing up the helm of the Cornhilt, that we can
hardly believe he did so from any cause that did not
lie very deep, indeed, in the nature of the man.
Enowieg him well, and having heard him discuss ,
the position and duties of an editor, I am convinced
he renounced it not because of laziness, but of soft
heartedness ; for there was a great deal of the wee ,
man, as well as of the child, in the composition of
the man whom some of his critics delighted to paint
as a cynic, a sneerer, and unbeliever in all goodness
and generosity.
M. Victor Hugo's Bounty.
_From the Guernsey Star]
On Thursday last, being Christmas eve, 111. Victor
Hugo entertained, at Hauteville house, the poor
children who, for about two years, have been the
constant recipients of his bounty. The party con.
misted of forty children and several of their parents,
for the whole of whom ill. Hugo provides sub
stantial dinner once a fortnight, twenty bell si; re.
ceived each week. These children are entertained
without any regard to their nationality or religion—
English, French, Guernsey, and Irish--Protestants
and Catholics—being equally welcome, poverty
being the only qualification required.
The party assembled on Thursday having been re
veled with a solid dinner and a desert of cake and
wine, were taken into the billiard-room, where seve
ral visitors were assembled, and where, much to their
delight, the children saw the table spread with a
liberal supply of useful apparel, such as jackets,
gowns, shirts, caps, bonnets, stockings, and shoes.
These having been distributed among the children
with a due regard to their respective wants, the be
nevolent host, addressing himself to the assemblage,
said he wished to explain the motives and objects that
he had in view in giving a weekly mbal to the
poor children whom he had then the happiness of
seeing around him. In 1848, a commission of medical
and other scientific men had been appointed by the
Trench Government to inquire into the causes of
diseases, such as scrofula, rickets, and impoverish
ment of the blood (engine couenneuse), to which the
children of the poor were exposed, and which pro
duced so much mortality among them. The com
mittee reporetd it as their opinion that these diseases
were caused by the children being almost totally
strangers to animal food, and that they might ba
checked by their having a meal of fresh meat once a
month.
Owing to political events this report remained with.
out effect, but it made a strong impression on his
(M. Hugo's) mind, and he determined that when
cireuMarances should permit, he would test the
soundness of the theory propounded. He had there
fore, about two years ago, commenced the humble
little work of which the present meeting was a part.
He had selected 40 young children from the most
necessitous classes of Guernsey, and to these
he had given, not once a month, but once a
fortnight, a sound meal composed of- fresh meat
and a small glass of wine. And he had the sat's.
faction of finding that his humble experiment
had been undoubtedly enemata/. Many of his
poor little children WhO had been Suffering iron/
one Or the other of the diseases he had men
tion of nearly the whole of them sensibly improved.
'Honed had been cured, and the physical constitu
lie wished it to be clearly understood that he as
sumed no merit for what he had done, for It was
a part of his creed that it was the positive duty of
the rich to care for the poor—a duty imposed alike
by Christianity and common sense—and that the
rich had no right to spend their superfluity on
their own enjoyments when they saw their fel
low.beings suffering around them. He had, he
repeated, called these poor children together with
the view of carrying out an important experiment,
but he had also done it for the purpose of giving
an example. He had the gratification of assist
ing forty children ; if twenty persons would do the
same, 800 children would be eared for, and it was
impossible to say whet amount of good might thus
be done for the population of the island. He repeated
that be wished it to be distinctly understood that he
took not to himself the slightest merit for what he
was doing, and sincerely trusted that he should not
be suspected of any reeling of ostentation. For the
children themselves; he would tell them for any good
they might receive, their thanks were due, not to
him, but to God, the giver of all good. He was
gratfied in seeing around him the laaies and gentle
men who bad done him the honor of assisting at his
little fife. He should at all times be happy to see
whoever might be pleased to come to him. He in
vited no one, but his doors were ever open to all.
At the close of this address M. Hugo led his child
ren into an adjoining drawing room, where they
found a splendid Chrietmas tree, the branches of
which were laden with toys that were gathered and
distributed among the little party, who, as may be
supposed, went away thoroughly , happy, and it may
be hoped, very greatful to their kind host and bene
faster.
WHY ACOVRAVEsire 7 . 13 IDOLIZED BY ITAB BUB
suars.--It is almost aa puzzling to a foreigner to ex•
plain the fanatic admiration with which illouravieff
is regarded in Russia as to make out the various
Russian theories of the Polish insurrection. The

But the adulation paid to him by his felloW-00Un-
Ityrnerriethe reply made by a proud and irritated
nation to the reproofs, sometimes niameri,ted, and to
the threats, never meant to be carried out, of foreign
ers. The conduct of Pdouravielf has been publicly
condemned in assemblies which the Russians feel
have no right to interfere in the suppression of an
insurrection in Lithuania; and niouravied, acting
With redoubled energy, or ferocity, at Wilna,
is to them the symbol of Russia defying
the west of Europe. Though the Russians
will not condescend to say so, I can
scarcely believe that they take pleasure in hearing
that men have been executed as criminals for having
fought as patriots. No one can blame them much
for wishing to retain Lithuania, nor for rfjolciug
'that the Lithuanian inanrreetion suppressed ; but,
=less they are really unable to perceive any dia.
'Unction between the noble and the ignobie, it is im
possible to understand their elevation of a cruel and
unscrupulous governor to the position of a hero.
Paskievitch was not made the subject of any great
eulogiuma when he took Warsaw; yet Paskievitch
was a brave soldier, and at least risked his life and
his military reputation in fighting against the Poles
—fighting against them, moreover, with clean wea
pons, and not with the foul arm of revolution. As for
Illouravieff, be has only done What any °metal who
daxeth more" than doth become a man " might
have accomplished in an equally short to te e of time.
The Russian a say that he braved the comietheation of
all Europe and of "false patriots" among his own
countrymen. If it be some day admitted is Russia
that Europe took a just view of Mouravieft's con•
duct, and that the " raise patriota" among the Rus
clans were men who in the midst of great diginilties
atilt kept the honor of their country in view, then it
will be said of him, as of some other great criminals,
that be braved the opprobrium of the civilized world.

BUSINESS VIEW OF PIIILADELPHIA.—
Mr. E. N. Bowes, a deaf mute, will call upon the
merchants and business men generally in our city,
with the view of introducing to them a new method
by which they can make their business known. The
style has been adopted in Baltimore, Maryland, and
St. Louis, Missouri. It is the intention of the gen
tleman engaged in this enterprise to have his plan
of advertising introduced into the principal cities of
the Union.
Special permission has been granted him to place
in the ddpOts and company buildings of all the rail.
roads leading from this city hie chart, to be known
as the "Business View of Philadelphia."
The chart or card will contain a fine steel por
trait of some one of the leading men of the day, and
this will attract general attention. Those of our
enterprising merchants who desire to have their
places of business well impressed upon the public
mind will avail themselves of the opportunity thus
afforded them by Mr. Bowe/. The charts, when
fully printed, will be displayed in the most public
places to the extent of several thousand. Each ad
vertiser will have as much space allotted as be may
desire. The printing will be done in colors, and
therelore add to the attraction.

PATENT LAW FOB LroußlA.—One of the
greatest difficulties with which the colonists of Li
beria have had to contend, is the injurious effects of
their Climate upon horses and oxen, so that nearly
all the labor necessary to develop their magnineent
resources has hitherto been performed without the
aid of beasts of burden. In no country, therefore,
are labor-saving machines more necessary. As a
patent law is desirable, if not absolutely necessary,
as a prelude to their extensive introduction, we are
glad to notice that H. Howson, Esq., of this city,
has prepared such a document, which has been for
warded to Monrovia for the consideration of the
Liberia Legislature, and the Board of Managers of
the Pennsylvania colonization Society have adopt
ed a resolution of thanks, commending him for the
zeal, inlelligerce and ability evinced in its prepare,

'A VESSEL Elms - E.—The bark Glenwood,
of this City, while lying at the flrst wharf above
Dock street, sprung alesk on Sunday night, occa
sioned by the heavy Booming ice, and sunk. It ap
pears that the water in the hold was sounded that
evening, but the depth was so slight that the men re
tired to rest fm the night, and in the morning the
vessel was aground, and the water floating over the
lower deck. The steam-engine belonging to the
Southwark was called into requisition, and kept
pumping most of the day and evening, which light
ened the vessel a great deal. It is thought that the
leak will be found this morning, and stopped. 'Ma
sane consisted of corn, flour, and coal. The two
first articles were taken out. Five hundred barrels
of the flour was badly damaged, while the corn is
still in good condition.
DOOR-PLATE TRlEVES.—Strarige as it
may seem, yet it was decided within a few years,
that stealing door-plates, belt-knobs, &c., from house
fronts, did not amount to larceny. The revised penal
code, however, makes the fact a fellony. It seems
that within a short time past, quite a number of
silver-plated bell-knobs. key-plates, and door-plates
have been stolen by a gang of thieves. Their ope
rations seemed to have been confined to the vicinity
of Broad street and Girard avenue. On Sunday
night the embellishments on the doors of the rest
deuces of Mr. Seitsinger and Doctor Eshleman, in
that neighborhood, were stolen. From observa
tions niece, it seems that while the despoilers are at
work, several confederates are watching, to give a
signal in case of police oilicera approaching.
STILL ANOTRER A CCIDENT.—MrS. Eliza
beth Johnson, aged '7B years, was knocked down by
the horses attached to one of the care of the Race
and Vine streets passenger railway. The mishap
occurred at Fifteenth and Race areal's. The old
lady wan so much injured about her head that it is
likely she will not recover fromthe effects of the con
cussion.
SUECVFYB.—The Board of Surveys held a
regular meeting yesterday morning, but did no ha
sine's of importance. In the matter of line and grade
regulations in some portions of the First ward, the
only objection was that by rdr. Stephen Benton,
who was in favor of reducing the proposed width of
Snyder street from 100 feet to 80 feet. The board
adjourned to meet on Friday next to examine the
plans, &e.
GOUGH'S LECTURE.—There was a great
rush, yesterday, at Plartfen's and the other places
where tickets were for sale for secured seats for Kr.
Gough's lecture. All the seats have been taken.
Standing tickets have been issued, and may be ob•
tained at the usual places.
Snocxma.—A little child, named Emma
Sophire, was badly burned at her parents' residence,
704 North Seventeenth street, on Saturday afternoon,
by her clothes taking lire from the parlor stove. Her
injuries are mostly about the chest and arms.

up a public reception to Gen. Meade. Their efforts,
however well intended, were in vain, as the Gene

The City of Philadelphia vs. the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company. This was an notion of debt, to
recover the sum of $94,500, title being the amount of
the dividend due the city on stock held by it, and
which was payable, as appeared by a notice in the
daily papers of November sth, 1863.
The pa went of the dividend was, and continue*
to be withheld, on the ground that by an ordinance
of the city, of July 14th, 1868, to promote the es
tablishment of a steamship line between Philadel
phia and Liverpool, which never was signed by the
Illayor, but which became a law by mason of its
having been detained by Mm more than tea days,
the railroad company were empowered to retain the
excess over eix per cent. per annum of the dividends
to become due the city, as indemnity and guarantee
against any loss they might incur by subscribing to
the stock of the proposed steamship company.
On behalf of the city, it is contended by the City
Solicitor that the ordinance of July 14th is in vie
latlon
of motion 7, Article 11, of the Constitution,
Which forbids the Legislature to authorize a moat- ,
cipal corporation to become stockholders in or loan I
their credit to any corporation. association, insti
tution, or party? ,
The question' arising being purely of law, the
court instructed the jury to find for plaintiffs $94,500
and $992 interest, eubject to the opinion of the court
On the points reserved as to whether the plaintiff.

David McLaughlin, a colored boy, was arraigned
yesterday before the police magistrate of the Fifth
ward, on the charge of stabbing Thomas Frisby, an.
other colored boy. TM; affair occurred on Sunday
evening in Sixth street above Lombard. It seems
from the evidence that McLaughlin and a boy
named Golly were in the African Bethel Church.
They had a dispute about something, the nature of
which did not transpire. The two left the church,
and, while indulging in awrangle, Frisby interposed
as a peace maker; McLaughlin, having a knife in
his hand, plunged it into Frisby's neck, thereby pro
ducing a dangerous wound. The defendant was
committed to await the result of the wound. Frisby
Was carried to the Pennsylvania Hospital.

A woman named Sarah Hall was committed yes.
terday to answer the charge of stealing the sum of
fifteen dollar's from a Portuguese sailor, named John
Johnson. It seems the parties - lived as man and
wife. On a return trip from the West Indies, the
sailor paid the rent of house and gave the defendant
fifteen dollars to , purchase him some shirts. She
went away, and that is the last he heard of her,
until making another trip to and from the West
Indies. On Saturday night he traced her to a place,
and she was subsequently taken into custody and
dealt with as above stetted.

Joseph Lewis, a colored man, employed, as a
waiter in the ladies' restaurant in the Continental,
was arrested, yesterday, by Detective Wm. Russell,
specially employed at that palatial building, who
handed him into the custody of Reserve Officer
Voorhees. Lewis was charged with stealing a box
of cigars from the store of Mr. N. B. Horn, also at
the Continental. It was ascertained by the dotes.
tive that a short time since a box of cigars and a box
of confectionery, that were taken from the stored at
the Continental, had been left at a house near Eighth
and Sansom street From this base of operations
Mr. Russell made some stragetic movements, which
resulted in the capture of Lewis. A box of cigars
was recovered and identified by the owner. The de
fendant made matters worse for himself by saying
that he hadgiven a silver watch for the cigars. He
was committed in default of $l,OOO bail to await a
further hearing.
Daring Robbery in the First Ward .
On Sunday night several houses located in the vi
cinity of Cuba and Moore streets, in the Elret ward,
were entered through the rear second story windows
by means of a /adder. In one of the houses a sum
of money, amounting to over four hundred dollars,
Was stolen, the family being in the lower pert of the
dwelling at the time. The part of the city where
this robbery occurred has improved greatly in the
number of buildings within the past few years; and
yet the police force has not been increased. Be.
sides this, proper attention is not given to lighting
the lamps in this section. Private improvements
have far exceeded those of a public nature in the se.
mi.itual sections of the city.
Chestnut-street Theatre Robbed—The Fire
proof Blown Open.
Sometime between Sunday evening and five
o'clock yesterday morning, the New Chestnut
street Theatre was entered by daring robbers,
and the fireproof blown open and robbed of all
the money it contained, being between three hun
dred and four hundred dollars. An entrance Was
effected through the sash over a rear door of the
theatre. The robbers haying passed into the lobby
or vestibule of the parquet, pried open the door of
the treasurer's office. His desk was also forced
open, as though the robbers thought the key of the
proof was kept there. They made a mistake. It is
evident they had made a thorough search for
the key, tut,' not succeeding, they ■mahed
down the front of the ticket office, and then
carried the ffre-proof into about the mid
dle of the parquet. Here it was blown open by
means of gunpowder, and pretty.
.well. shattered.
The theatre was filled to overflowing on Saturday
night, and it is probable the robbers contemplated
making a thousand or fifteen•hundred.dollar haul,
but Mr. Warren, the treasurer, paid off a num
ber of the performers on Saturday night, who de
sired to go to 'New York. The sum of less than four
hundred dollars was left in the safe to pay off seve
ral of the actors yesterday morning. It is very sel
dom that any money is ever left in the ante at the
theatre. The robbery was first discovered about 7
o'clock yesterday morning by the carpenters, who,
upon entering the building, observed considdrable
smoke In the dome.
