Our cablegrams announce tho death of a great leader in the Roman Catholic Church. The sunset of Cardinal Newman’s life has given place to the shades of that evening which separates him from this world, and the gentle old man, whose memory will be roverred by intelligent people of all religions persuasions, is freed from this life. Toe time was when the Cardin il had many bitter opponents, but they had long since been changed to friends, and his popularity extended through all ranks and denominations. He was in his 89th year. He was one of the greatest masters of the English language, and at Oxford was the college mate of Gladstone, Pussy, Hurrell, Fronde, Keble, and others, not forgetting Manning. Both were converts to the Church, John Henry Newman having joined the Boman Church over forty years ago.
