I M 4 CON GEORGIA TFI. FCFJP NEW YORK, Sept. 19. Funeral of Col Burr.-On Friday morning lllit thc body of the late Coloucl Aaron Burr was „nl on board a steamboat at Staten Island, and conveyed with a number of his relatives and friends front New York to Amboy. Here it with the followers, was received hy the rail road cars, and tal-eu to Heightstowp, nine miles from pjin'reton. A hearse and carriages having been previously prepare. th>* remains, with the friends of the departed, proceeded immediately to Prin ceton College, where the body was deposited un til the hour ofiutcrmeul should arrive—half past 3 o'clock. At'tbe appointed hour, the professors, colle gians and citizens having assembled, the cerem o- ,,v commenced by a prayer addressed to the Throne of Grace. It was succeeded by a most eloquent, a piopriate and judicious sermon, deliv ered by the President of the college; after which the procession was formed on the College Green, and proceeded to the burying ground under an es cort of the miliia.7, accompanied by martial mu- • # | c |{e was interred with the honors »f war.— Tbe firing over the grave was performed by a we li disciplined infantry corps, designated as the Mercer Guards. The professors and students of the College and some of the c ergy and citizeus, united with the relatives and friends of the de ceased in the procession^ He was buried m the college burying place, near the tombs of his ancestors, in his native state, under the superintendence of the fathers of that »eat of learning, where the budding of his mighty mind first displayed itself— whero it w as m.ituredaud cultivated, audj whcrejtlio foundation was laid for those intellectual endowments, which he afterwards exhibited on the great theatre of life. He has shed a halo of literary glory around Nassau Hall. Through a loug pilgrimage lie loved her as the discipliir.riap of his youthful mind. He vaunted ihat he was one of her car. liest and most attached sons. He joyed iu her success, aud sorrowed in her misfortunes. In this her last act of respect for his memory—she has ropaid those kind feelings iu which he indulged during a long life; aud heartless must be thc friend of the deceased who remembers not mth gratitude this testimonial of regard for the giant Jnin.l of him who must fill a large spare in the history oflus cobutry. Peace to his mares.— Cctir. if Enq. The Regatta.—Yesterday was a broiling hot day; nevertheless,some thousands of our specta cle loving fellow citizens, thronged the Battery aud Castle Galileo, to see the far famed boat r*ice. The -ceue wns animated aud inspiring, but wo have no room or time to glorify the bright eves and hallo,.a sleeves of the ladies, the eager looks of the gen iomen, the beauty of the long, light, and swift going boats, or the. stripe 1 shirts aud night caps of the rowers. We must be brief and sententious, for good reasons. The first race was between three four-oared beais. liie Adamic, Gleam and Minerva. Won hy ;ltc Ad.tittle, which performed the distance— about five miles—in thirty minutes. The Mi- tic'va -n;n>'in sc. nod. about half a minute behind tne Atlantic, aid the Gleam-was two minutes, neir'v behind thc Miuerva. Afier this, tho six-oar gentlemen tried their hand at the pu I. The bouts were the Wave, . Ariel, Eagle, Wakoua and Halcyon, which came . back to the starting post in thc order in which we ^iinvt' placed them, ’’ho Wave made the distance p i thirty minut' s. (1 was good pulling all round. In both races a f.ilst start was made ; th it is two of the boats fell afoul of each other within a bun dled yards of the starting line, and all were re called nnd matin in begin the race aue.w. We were vexed tosee ibe ungenerous nnd an noying manner in which craft of all descriptions —sloops, schooners, steam boats; clam hosts, lighters, barges, and water melon boats—thrust themselves it, th<* way of the racers. They cer tuinly had not wh.it they most earnestly request- a dear course aud no crowding.” There wns one amiable gentleman in a boat piled high with water melons, who seem d to take a parti cular delight in pokiug himself just where he was not wanted, and otuiiuaiely remaining there, iu spi;e of all remonstrances We heard a serious proposition, among some of the spectatois. to charter a boat, and three or four pull after him mid unset his ware and himself into the cool and nmiforMb’,.* hinging river, ilapptly thc project was not ranted intti eflect, but we rejoice to say .that l,e found no customers for bis ** water mo Joiis." ■ t'ho silver cups wore duly presented, but we did not stay to sen that sight or partake of the folia’ion.— N- Y.

As it is likely the youthful corps will repeat their dramatic efforts, it is hoped that they will ever be careful not “to o’erstep tho modesty of nature.” and “to hold as 'twere the mirror up to nature,” that their own private individual deportment will always be exemplary, and in the tenor of their histrionic selections, vice and immorality, in all their varieties be pungently, forcibly exposed and satirized. A stage so occupied, whether youthful, modest imita tors, by practised comedians or veteran players, will gradually remove the charge of licentiousness often raised against theatrical amusements; and the theatre become a school of morals,benevolence and practical virtue. ft.

As to their fiiie talents, in imitation of all the variettes and eccentricities of poor human nature, we can make no distinction: each ' does the thing” exactly. Whoconld expect orwish to be entertained better any where,than in the sweet melodious voice and fine gestures of Mrs. Hart; Ihe manly little gentlpman wiiich we so often see in ilic person of Mrs. Bailey; the old gentleman and lady, up to life, by Mr and Mrs. Carter; the lofty dignity of Mr. Anderson; and "Old nol” over again, by Mi*.

The last night’s performance wns tendered by tho company for the-benefit o<* the Academy of this place. Thus, while we have had amusement and instructive lessons dispensed to us by this liberal company, so have they added the means, also, for tho attainment of more lasting and durable benefits.

In h moment after tile explosion took place raauy voices were heard front the river, crying for help; hut owing to the confusion in the hoat, thc darkness of the night and the ah sooc© of tho yawl, no assistance could he rend ered to the suffere-s. * The personal injury was confined to tho hands on board and the deck passengers; tho number of killed and wounded was not ascertain d before our informants, who were passengers, left tho bout.

Now. Mr. Van Btiren says bo lias great doubts of this right of Cougress, anil in Any event he w oulii lodk upon the oXercise of it as highly dan gerous to thc South, and* believes it would bo a violation of tho. compact entered into between the States,& that he .would ho the uncompromis ing opponent to any attempt that should be made to effect such purpose What more could man say ?
