In ttio Baltimore Sun, which has a very full uml
bountiful accouut of the funeral obsequial of the
late President, wc find the following interesting des
cription of the religious ceremonies observed on the
occasion.
Scene at the Mansion-Affecting Religion« Services.
—Tlio members of the Cabinet, the Diplomatic
Corps, the pull bearers ami those of the two Houses
of Congress who could be admitted, occupied the
East Boom. Col. Bliss, Col. Tuylor, of Baltimore,
itud other relatives of the Into President, occupied
positions near the remains.
The foreign ministers all appeared in full court cos-
-■'tumii- •
The coffin containing the mortal remains of the
President was laid upon a platform, raised in the cen
tre of the East Boom, and was elegantly covered
with black cloth. The platform was also profusely
trimmed und decorated with black crupe.
Obedient to the request ol the atllicted family
family prayers were said over the remains of tlie do
ceased, upon which occasion none but llic immedi
ate relatives of the family were present. 'The coun
tenance of the deceased witnessed but a slight change-
It appears that ill's. Tuylor objecta to a proposal to
embalm the body. When the religious ceremonies
commenced at a later hour, the scene in tins vast
room tvas such as to defy proper conccptioti. The
male members of the family only were present. At
the foot of the coffin sat ilr. Fillmore, near whom
were the members of tile cabinet, foreign ministers,
chargedesaffuires, private secretaries, Ate., and a very
large number of clergymen ot ull denominations.
Bov. Smith l’yne, of tho Protestant Episcopal
church, who attended the Prcshlentduring his illness,
assisted by Itev. Dr. Butler, chaplain of the U. H.
Senate, and lector of Trinity church, performed
the solemn und impressive buriul service oftliut
church.
The exercises were commenced by the funeral an
them •• 1 lieurd a voice from Heaven saying unto me,
write, write from hence forth, blessed arc the dead
which die in tho Lord, for they rest from their labors,
and their works do follow them. Amen." This was
admirably sung by u choir of amateurs under the di
rection of Prolessor Uerlyu, followed by prayer and
reading of the psalms, according to the Episcopal
^ Rev. Mr. Pync here orose aud delivered a most
pathetic, patriotic and eloquent discourse. His
theme was, "A great man lots fallen." lie first de
scribed wha* constituted « great man: then compared
the essentials, of true greatness a.- they existed iu tile
character of the late President Taylor. His remarks
to the Houses of Congress were most appropriate and
impressive, whilst he happily adverted to the presence
of the diplomatic crops, the honored representatives
of their respective countries. They, too, had assem
bled with us to drop a tear to departed worth. Bitch
lt-clings were entitled to our high appreciation. Ma
ny a tear, at this particular point, trickled down the
cheeks of these dignitaries, and produced a visible im
pression on ttie entire audience.
Hon. Rcverdy Johnson, Attorney General, wept
like a child, and throughout uppeurod very much
afiec ted.
hi his closing remarks, the preacher made an elo
quent ttlusion to the Washington Monumenfinowerect
ing; and expressed his opinion that tile government
should purchase the birth-place of Washington, and
erect thereon a mausoleum, where could be gathered
the ashes of all tho American Presidents, from
Washington, the Father of his Country, until tho
end of time.
During tlie removal of the pall and placing the
lid permanently on the entlin, a duett was sweetly
sung by two interesting daughters of Mr. Eberbach.
"His triumphs are over, he is gone to his rest,
To the throne of his Maker, the home of the blest j
How peaceful and calm he now rests on tho bier,
Each heart, (troops in sadness, each i ye sheds a tear.
The Hero—the Statesman—his journey is done,
All. his cares now are o'er, his last battle won ;
How sweetly lie rests from his sorrows and fears,
And leaves a proud nation in sadness and tears.
"Oh I bear him lull gently—disturb not bis rest,
Aud let the turf, lightly, be heaped on his breast,
For Oh I he was noble, and gentle, : and kind,
And was deep in tho hearts of his people enshrined.
Let the flag which he loved envelope his form,
Which often streamed o’er him iu tho battle's fiorcc
storm I
Oh calm let him rest with his deeds and his fame,
Aud halo’s of glory encircle his name.”
These beautiful lines were composed by Mr. B. F.
Niles.
At tlio close of tliis hymn, n detachment of United
States soldiers, whose noble countenances bore nm-
plc evidence of the siul feelings, then entered aud
took charge ol the remains, bearing them to the fu
neral car.
The services, throughout, in the oast room were
of a most solemn, impressive and eublime character,
Worthy of imitation by ull the nations of the world.

The Attack on the (Juee/t.—The uttnek upon the
Quoen is detailed ns follows by the reporter for the
London Times, of June 28:
About fiO minutes after <i o’clock last evening her
jfiniesty, accompanied by three of the royal children,
and Viscountess Jocelyn, lady in waiting, left Cam
bridge house, Piccadilly, where tier majesty hqd been
calling to inquire aftri- the health of her illustrious
mtelcT A crowd had assembled without the court
yard gates to witness her majesty’s departure, und as
tlie royal carriage passed out of the gates a person re
spectably dressed, and about six feet two inches high,
ndvmcfd two or three paces, and with a small black,
trace, which he held in his hand, struck a sharp blow
at the queen. The blow took effect upon the upper
part.her majesty's forehead, and upon tier bonnet,
which being of a light texture, was drivou in by its
force. Tho act was witnessed by a great many per
sons, and it rush being made, the delinquent was in
stantly seized. Mr. James .Summers, lit the employ
of Messrs* Ordway, 15U Piccadilly, was the first to
collar him, but several others hurried forward at tlio
same moment, and one person, unable to restruin iiis
resentment, dealt the man a 1)1 ow in the face which
drew blood atonce. But for the timely afrival of tlie
police, he would have boeu still more roughly linn-
died.
Her majesty betrayed no feeling ot alarm, nnd,
immediately after the occurrence drove up Picudilly,
on het ’eturn to Buckingham Palace, the spectators
gheering her loudly as she passed along—a mark of
loyalty and affection which her complete sell posses
sion enabled iter to acknowledge with her usual cour
tesy and condescension.
The small stick with which the prisoner struck tlie
blow was not thicker than an ordinary goose quilt—
it measured only two feet two inches in length, und
weighed less than three ounces. Of course such a wea
pon as tliis could not under any circumstances occa
sion very serious injury.
Ireland. The Irish crops promise well. Tho Re
peal association met attain on Monday. Tho rent dc-
< lared was *17 tis tjjil. Mr. John O’Connell has
written to the papers. denying the charge that he is
looking out for a government, situation. Ho snys tliut
he would not accept any government offer whatever.
Since the 1st of January 20 vessels haveeailed from*
Limerick to Canada, with -1,112 souls; 25 hailed tor
the United States, with 2,320 souls— making in hII 7,-

United States to r e nearly equul. The total number
of emigrant) for tlio year 1841) to the States aud Can
ada, was 11,554. -
There is a talk of American manufacturers setting
up factories in tlie west of Ireland.
There are continued rumors, and some positive
statements, of the re-appearance of the potato blight.
! have seen letters from Dungannon, which state Unit
the blight has been discovered In parts of tlie county
of Tyroue. It is also asserted that tlie disease lias
manifested itselt partially in other counties North
and South. The provincial journals, however, de
scribe the crop us still perfectly free from disease ;
and it is stated that m some instances where tho
blight was supposed to exist, tlio result of a close ex
amination has been to prove the groundlessness ot
the alarm. About this time last year,- tlie apprehen
sions prevailed, without any real foundation, altho
towards the dose of July the disease actually did ap
pear to a limited extent. .

No Mail. Wo bad no mail Inst night nortli of
Charleston, tho Wilmington boat not having arrived
when the Charleston mail closed at 11 o'clock, A. M.
No Steamer Vet. At a late hour last night, no
tidings hud reached us of the arrival of the steamer
America, now over due at Halifax. Tliis may be ow
ing to thu interruption in tho telegraphic communi
cation, the wires being down as we understand be
tween Raleigh nnd Petersburg.
Savannah Gas Works. We are gratified to learn
thut our Gas Works will lie completed mid ready
to go into operation in a few days. We nro also
pleased to be able to state that the work of
construction lias been performed in n most stijie-
rior manner, and that it meets tlie universal appro
bation of our citizens. Wo have seen the Gas esta b-
lisbnisnts of the principal citjos of the Union, and do
no hesitate to say that those recently erected in our
city, by Messrs. W. Bucknell, Jr. & Co., are, in
point of beauty of architecture and convenience of
arrangement superior to any wo have ever seen. Iu
this opinion we are sustained by J. C. Cresson, Esq.,
Engineer and Superintendent of the Philadelphia Gns
Works, a gentleman of much scientific knowledge
nnd experience in such matters. Mr. C., we are in
formed, lias inspected the works, which ho pronoun
ces to be perfect; and, for their size and capacity,
superior to any eimilur works in the country.
We understand that on Monday evening next the
gns will he introduced into the pipes, when our citi
zens will, wc trust, have their best anticipations re
alized by the opportunity which will lie afforded
them of seeing “ Savannah by lias Light."
Struck bv Lightning. Yesterday afternoon
about one o’clock, while the pilot boat G. B. Cam
ming was off Tybeo Bar, during a thunder gust, she
was struck by lightning. The holt split her main
mast, and descended to tho cabin, spitting the fur
niture, &c. Mr. Emanuel Joseph, it Branch Pilot,
was standing on the stairs ol’ the cabin ut tlie time',
and was struck insensible, and remuineil in that state
for upwards of an hour. He was revived by the ex
ertions of his associates, but has sustained severe in
jury in his legs, which wore much swollen yesterday.
He stood within two i'cet ol where the bolt entered
the cabin, and made u most providential escape from
denth.
Public Meeting.
Tribute of Respect to Gen. Taylor.
We have been requested by several gentlemen of
both political parties to state that u public meeting
will be held at the Exchange, to-morrow, (Saturday)
at 12 o’clock M., for the purpose of adopting meas
ures to pay a suitable tribute of respect to the memo
ry ot our late Chief Magistrate. The citizens gener
ally are invited to attend.
Wo have been surprised that a movement of this
kind has not been made at an earlier day, by those
upon whom the duty would seem properly to devolve;
and we l'ecl assured that our citizens will prove by
their attendance at the meeting, und by the measures
which they will adopt, that the deluy is not attributa
ble to any lack of sympathy, on their part, in the na
tional bereavement, or of veneration and respect for
the memory of the illustrious Patriot and Hero who
has fallen.
The New Steamer between Jucknourilc and
Savannah.
We are gratified to learn from an authentic source
that a new and splendid Steamer for this route is
now building in New York, and will be placed on the
liuo next October. This boat will be equal iu speed
and accommodation to any boat iu the Southern
country. She is contracted to run not less than fif
teen miles un hour. Site will be finished in the best
style, with handsome State-Rooms, and every appli
ance that comfort und luxury can require. Such a boat
was demanded by the increasing travel and business of
the routu, and we firmly believe that it will not be long
before others of tlie same class will be required.—
The whole travpl of Middle Florida must soon be at
tracted by tliis route ; and the increasing celebrity
of our climate for tlie Northern invalids will swell
the amount of travel from this source, fourfold, for
six mouths in the. year.
It will he gratifying to his numerous friends to
hear that tlie commander of tlie new boat is to be Capt-
AIcNelty. His obliging.and gentlemanly depurtment
has won him many friends uinongst us, and wc hear
tily welcome him back, and with him all the success
lnyao well deserves.—Jacksonville J^ews.
Excitement in Texas.
Extra Session of the Legislature called.
New Orleans, July 17.
Advices from Texas arc of an exciting character,
in reference to matters in Santa Fe. Meetings have
been held at Sun Antonio mid on tho Sun Jacinto bat
tle-field, where resolutions were adopted, denouncing
tlie course of tlie General Government and calling on
tlie Governor to proclaim Suntu Fe in a state ot in
surrection. Au extra session of the Legislature of
Texas was called to assemble on the 42th August
next
'I he alarm as to the difiicultfes with the Indians had
somewhat subsided.
The state of the crops, with the exception of those
pi the Trinity region, were more favorable.
American Minister Insulted.
Advices from Madrid state that Narvaez had, at a
hall given by the Neapolitan Minister, offereda gross
insult to tlie American Ambussador, who had ap
proached to sulute him.
“I will not have anything to say to one," shouted
out Narvaez, " who represents a nation that harbors
pirates and encourages public felonies.”
Having uttered these words iu a tone loud enough
to be heard all over the room, Narvuez turned his
back upon the American Plenipotentiary, who was at
once "cut" by rttl the Spaniards present.
An account which we have seen of tlie affair says
that as our Plenipotentiary was unable to understand
Spanish, was only enabled to construe the remarks
of tlie haughty Spaniard by the tone iu which it was
delivered and by the cold look which followed it
from Ihe whole assemblage of Castilian grandees.—
Narvaez may yet ha^e something to da with us,nev
ertheless, it his government should he impolitic
enough to cany its urrdaance to too great n pitch.
Messrs. Stephen^ and Toombs—An Unfound

count given of Gan. Taylor's • illness, by the cor
respondent of tlie Philadelphia Bulletin, which \va 8
published in tlie Heics of 'Tuesday, appears in the
Baltimore Clipper of Monday last.
Washington, 13th, July, 18.5(1.
Messrs Editors:—My attention has just been called
to a communication iu your paper of this morning,
over the signature of Henrico, (copied from the
Philadelphia Bulletin) pa sporting to give the incidents
attending the illness of General Taylor, preceding
his death, which contains statements in reference to
myself and colleague,Mr. Toombs, under a profesta-
ticn of “ respecting merely what the correspondent
knew to he true,” that I cannot permit to go to tlie
country uncontradicted. I did not see General Tay.
lor during his illness, nor did my collengue, Mr.
Toombs. The last interview I had with him was sev
eral days before his attack, and never in any inter
view 1 had with him, was there the slightest allusion
made in the remotest degree whatever, to the subject
stated by Henrico. And ! feel warranted in saying
the same in relation to my colleague, Mr. Toombs. I
deem it therefore, a duty ns well to myself as to tho
memory of the honored and illustrious dead, tosay
tlmt the statement of tho Bulletin's correspondent in
this particular is without the shadow of foundation.
Yours respectfully, Alexander H. Stephens.

/ ife of Jean Paul Frederic Richter, together with his
Autobiography. Translated by Eliza Buckmin
ster Lee. Now.York: D.,-Appleton Sc Co.
The admirers of JK an Paul—ami that is but nnoth
or phrase tor tho liternt-y world—will be gladdened
to learn that an authentic lile of the great German
poet has made its appearance from the American
press. Tho book before us is not merely a transla
tion ; and the accomplished author has n right to
clnin, a higher title for her work. She has not only
given us a translation of Richter's own biography,
but has compiled and woven together, from Spatter,
the author’s correspondsnce, and other sources, a
work in which her taste and judgment in Selection
are only equalled by the patient industry and artisti-
cul skill wifti which she has arranged, blended and
elaborated the material at her command.

Latter-Day Pamphlets. Kdited by Thomas Carlyle.
New-York; Harper & Brothers.
Numbers V. and VI. of this series of Political Cau-
dclings are devoted to Parliaments nnd Stump Ora
tors. These essays are well-timed, and should be
read by special appointment in both Houses of Con
gress, each member he supplied with a copy of both
to carry home with him ut tlie end of the session—if
perchance it should ever arrive at one. We beg to
suggest that these pamphlets bo included in the next
supply of books voted to members of Congress.
Dr. Johnson: His Religious Life aud his Death. Hew
York: Harper & Brothers.
This is not only a well-written and authentic Life
of the illustrious Lexicographer, Poet and Critic, iu
which the author has laid all hia cotemporaries un
der contribution, but it is, moreover, an analytical
commentary on his religious character and opinions,
in which tlie moral traits and sentiments which dis
tinguished tho great literateur are brought promi
nently iu view. Tlie writer hits accomplished his
task in a very agreeable manner, and his work will
be read with interest tjy all whoso tastes lead them
to the perusal of tlie lives.of eminent Christians. The
book ubounds in gems ot thought from tlie master
mind of his day, and from those who have since re
corded their admiration of his genius and character.
From a chapter oti Epitaphs we ure tempted to quote
the following, inscribed on the tombstone ofa young
child in the churchyard ip Llangarrieu:
“ Oh Christ! my happy soul!
■I was so early njyst!
Twus so early milled
To my eternal rest."
The Old Oak Chest. By G. P. R. James. NetvYork :
Harper Sc Brothers.
This, we believe, is James’s “ last,” hut like all his
previous novels, loaves dno in hopeful anticipation
of " a few more of the same sort.” Mr. James—who
by the by, is with us now, and will no doubt be well
received by his millions of American admirers, pro
vided he does not permit himself to be over-lionized,
by the literary toadies in the large cities—is an agree
able writer, who, always entertaining, never startling,
wears well, nnd is consequently a universal favorite.
His books are unexceptionable in moral tone, ami
the influence which they are calculated to exert on
the immature mind, and arc, therefore, free from
those objection* *•> justly „ i„, .
tioi ot ‘ the Hght literature of tlie present day. The
Old Oak Chest forms No. 145 of Hakper’s Library of
delect Novels, in which series all the autiior’s novels
are included.

UcgulatKniH nf tlie Clmi'lenton Cotton Mar
ket*
At a meeting of the merchants and factors of
Charl-'ston, held on tlie 17th inst,, to take into consid
eration the regulations ot that city in regard to the
Weighing of cotton, a report from a committee ap
pointed at a previous meeting was submitted and
adopted, in which it was recommended, in order to
uvoiil tlie difficulty and injustice to purchasers, aris
ing from the diminution in the weight of cotton af
ter storage: that, in future, “ purchasers may require
from factors that any cotton shall he roweighed at the
expense of the factor; whereon circumstances may
lead to the belief that such cotton will fall short in
weight, and it shall he charged at tho re-weight."
The report recommends to planters the expedien
cy of having their cotton put up in strong and good
bagging; thereby rendering it much less liable to
waste, particularly lifter hundlingsand exposure
The Committee ulso alluded to tho custom of al
lowing menders to carry bags while mending cotton
und thereby affording facilities for taking more cotton
than would otherwise be wasted, while the coitveu-
ieuce for selling, adds much to the inducement of
pilfering; and to put nil effectual stop to tliis evil,
suggest to shippers tlie propriety of prohibiting their
menders from carrying any bags while mending their
cotton.
Tlie committee, in consideration tliut it is generally
impracticable to ship cotton on tho day it is bought,
and as it is unreasonable that any additional expense
should be thereby incurred, recommend that etortige
should in no case commence until the day succeeding
tliut of purchase.
The report being adopted, was to bo laid befure
tlio Chamber of Commerce lor its early action on the
subject.
The Falls—We learn from tlie Troy Whig that a
largo portion of the bank at Niagara Fulls is iu a con
ditiou which indicates tliut it will soon follow the ex-
ample of Table Rock.
Bbutal MuanKn.—A merchuut ol' Culpepper coun
ty Va., uutned Edwards, was found brutally murder
ed in liis store. The money drawer, which contain
ed about 8400, was broken open und rilled of its
contents. Five negroes, upon whom suspicion of
having committed tho lout deed rests, have been ur-
rested and committed to the jail of tlie county to uw a it
their trial.
1’ublic Printing,—A dispatch fr 0 m Washington
states that the agents of Government have refused to
receive several ut(ocious specimens of public print-
jUg, and work on the contracts has been discontinu
ed for the present.
Extraobdinary Phenomenon on Lake Superi
or.—The Lake Superior Journal notices a strahge
phenomenon which was witnessed at Two Heart Riv
er, 70 miles ubove the Saut, on the 18th ult. A
slight agitation of the water of Lake Superior was
noticed, and very soon the land rose out of tlie wa
ter, forming an island of about 150 feet in circumfer
ence. and some six feet high. Tlie beach also rose
some 12 feet, looking like a hillock of sand. The
water was only about five feet deep where tlieislaud
was formed, and a boat hod just passed over it. A
few rods from the beach a depression of the ground
took place at the same time of the upheaving of the
water. No noise was heard. A party of Indians en
camped near! wero terrified and tied. Tho story
sounds rather marvellous.
13^ A dispatch lrom Washington says that the
Compromise Bill was reported iu tlie Senate on Mon
day, and amendments adopted. Tlie Hon. A. P.But-
leii, of South Carolina, proposed tlie line 36 deg. 30
min. as the boundary for California, and declared it
to he the ultimatum of the South.
Spanish Diplomacy.
It. seems that, since the nrrivul in New Orleans of
tho twenty-seven Spanish soldiers who joined Lopez
at Cardenas, tlie Spanish Consul has been using his
endeavors to get them into his possession, so as to ab
duct them front tlio country and send them back to
Cuba ior punishment. The main body of this party
left New Orleans a few days since for Mississippi,
whither Gen. Lopez lias gone. The Delta thus re
lates tlio story of the Consul’s unsuccessful attempt.
W e must premise that various attempts had been
made previously to seduce the men from their camp
at the New Basin, where they were under their com-
ninuder, Capt. Lopez, nephew, wo,believe, of the
General. The Delta says .-

Scarcity of Houses in Philadelphia. The
late destructive fire tn Philadelphia, which deprived
three or four hundred families of their home.,, has
caused a very great demand for houses—a demand
which, from present appearances, cannot be supplied
for a long time. Rents, which were high enough
before, says the Bulletin, have risen very much, nnd
many poor families who could barely get along in
their former houses, feel wholly unable to undertake
tlie payment of the prices now asked. The great
number of new buildings undertaken in the city and
districts before tho fire, require ailthe labor aud ma
terials that can he rendered available for some time.
Tlie rebuilding of tho Burnt District, which would
otherwise go un rapidly, will be thus materially re

lumber sufficient to erect one half the buildup's re

Extracts from a private letter received in this city,
per steamer Hibernia, dated,
. . Liverpool, June 28,1850.
1 be Asia arrived on .Saturday, and the Atlaiitit
on Wednesday last. The accounts by these vessel*
have ert ated a lively demand for Cotton in ourinttr-
ket, and the sales are on a more extended scale, than
tor some weeks past. From the quantity ottering,
however; und the willingness with which boldcn
part with their stock, prices have not advanced more
than Li per lb.
“ W ith a good demand for goods and yams, at im
proving prices, and a healthy state of trade iu man
ufacturing district^ coupled with the prospect ol a
bountiful harvest, and money mutters easy, it is not
unlikely, with our diminished stock and supply to
come forward, that higher rates will prevail ; partic
ularly ll late advices respecting growing crops be
continued.”
from Leech iV Co's Market Ileport, dated June 2£th,
we make the following extracts:
LIVERPOOL, 28th June, 1850.—The business m
Manchester bus been limited during the week, but the
advices received by the Asia, nnd the Atlantic, after
two splendid runs, have given increased confidence
to Hpinners uml Manufacturers to insist firmly unen
advanced prices, bince the prospects for the new Cot
ton crop in the U. .S. continue as yet to point to ave* j
ry moderate quantity. It should appear that thecon-
sumers have overcome their repugnance to purclmw; ;
it at the present high prices, and have acquired confi
dence m their stability, for the demand seems to tako |
oil readily whatever is produced, although almost all
the mills are aguin at full work. It bus been a great
benefit to die Manchester market that the udvance in
the price of tho raw material is so gradual as it ena
bles the spinners to keep up with it. A sudden ad
vance of fd. lb. would soon produce a puuso and
perhaps a buccndution.
l>y tlie tables accompanying the report, it appear*
that the total imports into Greut Britain, during the
last six months, amount to 940,IW bales of which 676,-
000 were American, showing a deficiency, oscompHi*
ed with the total imports during the same period last*
yearof 385,000 bales* while the stock on hand is
608,000 aguinst 855*000 bales at the same period last
year.
This comparison, says the Report, continues to be
interesting. Tho Imports show an increasing defi*
ciency, and the stocks equally so; the latter it will be
recollected proved at the end of the year 90,000 bale*
larger than the estimate, and part of this difference
should be added to the above stocks of last year.
To-day’s sides are estimated at 7000 bales. The fol
lowing are the quotations :
