H. THOMAS, the Principal of the School, begs leave to state, for the information of the afflicted and pitblic generally, that he ha* been many years engaged in tile practice of Mediciile, and has devoted much of his time, labor and practice, with many of the most intelligent and successful German and Indian Doctors, both in the United States and Canada, to the treatment of aedte and chronic dis eases of every name, stage and type, atfd of the most malignant character; and has, by practicing with them, acquired a thorough knowledge of all their valuable secret Recipes and manner of treatment, which is far superior to any thing known or taught in ihe Med'fcal Schools, and which has been successful, by the bles sings of the Almighty, in restoring to health, hundreds and thousands of persons that had been treated for a number of years by many of the most learned and s leiililic Physicians of thcdaV, and pronounced to be entirely beyond the reach of remedv, and given over • die. Yet by thesunple;efficacious V’egetable Medi icines,not poisons, they were snatched front the jaws of the gtini monster, death, and restored to health, the greatest of all earthly blessings; lor what is riches and elegant dwellings, without health td enjoy them. Health is the poor man’s wealth, and the rich man’s bliss. To a man laboring under disease, life world is little better than a dreary solitude, a cheerless waste enlivened by no variety, a joyless scene cheered by ill social sweets; for the soul in a diseased body, like a martyr in his dungeon, may retain its value, bh'i it has lo st its usefulness.

PROPOSALS of anew work TO BK ENTirLtD GEORGIA ILLUSTRATED, In a scries of Original Pictures , on steel , with let ter-press descriptions. fBNHE plan of publishing in successive numbers. ■ pictorial works,- illustrative of the scenery of countries, has long be n a popular one in Europe and is rapidly gaining favor in our own country. The prospectus to issue such a work, devoted to the scenery of Georg.a, although novel, wrll uwloubt edly tind umversat favor, and he regarded as it ts by tile” editor, a plan at once felicitous and feasible.— Tuere is tmich scenery in our Slate, that is not stir passed in beauty and sublimity, by that of any other State in the Union. The upper counties abound in scenes, winch need only to be known to Command ihe admiration of all who k>ve lire beauties of nature. .Much of the scenery of Lie north is inferior to our own. but is yet visited by thousands simply because it has been written , sung and by autho.s and travellers, until its beauty has become universally known and appreciated. It is desrable that attention should be directed to out own resources of the pic turesque in natural scenery, and when lhs is done, our own and northern tourists will speedily render our beautiful views as immortal as our language. The south is charged with general indifference to the progress of Literature and the Fine Arts; ad probably the strongest foundation for the charge s found in her inaction in enterprises calculated totoster these objects. The publication of the proposed work will, it is believed, be an effective blow at ibis founda tion, and a step towards the establishment of our lit erary reputation, to which end much honorable effort is now directed. A third consideration, and the last which will now be urged, is the intrinsic value of such a publication as “GEORGIA ILLUSTRATED.” It will embody the representations of ihe beautiful and sublime in our S'atc scenery, and atlord to all, at a trifling ex pense, exact pictures ol our mountains, rallies, catar acts, public bm dings, &c., which they may or mar not otherwise behold, but which, m either case, would afford peculiar pleasure. The proposed work will be executed hi a stvlc su perior to any similar pictoral work in the country. The plates will be executed on steel, bv eminent en gravers, from original drawings, made expressly for the purpose, by Mr. T. Addison Richards, of Augus ta. The engravings will be accompanied with letter press desciiptions. prepared for the work, and in this departnmnt the editor will secure, as far as possible, the assistance and co-operation of our best writers. In short, no pains will be spared to make the work a per fect gem of its kind, to the end that it tnav meet a welcome reception not onlv at home but also abroad. Conditions —“GEORGIA ILLUSTRATED” will be issued in monthly parts, in the quarto form, at $5 per annum in advance, or at 50 cents for each part, payable on delivery. Each part will contain two highly fnished engravings of Georgia Scenery, accompanied with letter-press descriptions and historical facts, printed on large and beautiful type on the finest paper, the whole enveloped in a neatly printed cover. Anv individual who will obtain and forward six ad vanced subset iptions shall be entitled to a copy of the work. Clubs may receive twelve copies to one ad diess for §SO, or twenty-five copies for §IOO, in either case fret of postage. Communications and subscriptions must be addres sed.

K aril 16,1840. 9tf From the Lady’s Companion, for Jan. 1841. THE SOUND <JF THE BELL. by j. m’lellxh, m. 1 love to hear that pealing knell Os the resounding curfew bell, When o’er the darkening scene of day, The glimmering shades of evening play ; Each smoky grove, and purple hilt, With ihe melodious cadence thrill, Wide o’er the sleeping lake it floats, Prolonging still its dy ng notes, ’Till w carted eefio sinks to rest, And silence folds her to his breast. When flames the morning’s earliest fire Upn the faded belfry’s spite, The swinging bell the silence breaks, And alt the slumbering village wakes ; Then mounts the hamlet’s curling smoke Above its old embowering oak, Thens .rth the plough boy leads the team, Foith hies the angler to his strean, And shrill the sharpening scythes tesound, Where the stout mowers sw'eep the ground. It calls man to the nouse of prayer, When the sweet Sabbath ca ms the air ; It calls the marriage group to com* With blushing bride and manly groom ; It bids with solemn knell the bier With all its mourning train draw near ; It warns us when the wasting tire At midnight lights it flaming pyre ; It summons to the battle field, The patriot’s deadly blade to wield. Oft have I heard with joy the peal O’er the New England village steal— Oft where the winding Merrimac Leads thro’ green roads its shining track ; Oft by the noble Hudson's shores, Oft where the Susquehannah pours, Oft where the dear Ohio’s flood Rolls thro’ its lone o’erhanging wood ; And ever thy deep voice did chime Sweetly and sad the lapse of time ! I’ve heard old Notre Dame’s grey tower Measure the passing midnight hour— Where dark and swift the Seine below Murmured in ever restless flow; Have l.eard Cologne’s and Strasbttrg’s bell, O’er the deep Rhii e, the moments tell; Have heard their chapel hell invi'e The Switzers to the vesper rile; And grand St. Peters’s soaring dome, Sound hollow o’er imperial Rome. Have heard the Latin Convent’s peal Summon the Christian Greek to kneel, In famous Athens’ ruined street, E'en at her pagan temples’ feet ; Have beard it in Egyptian land, And over Syria’s yellow strand, Bid dusty Pilgrim, tired and faint, His vows to offer to the Saint— E’en where the Mosque’s grey Priest did call The loud Muezzin from the wa’l. Sweet sounds the camels’ bell al night To Arab by the canqi-fire’s light ; To travellers lost o’er fount and fall, Sweet comes the tinkling sheep-fold’s bell) Sweet is the ship bell’s accents deep That sends the sea boy to his sleep ; Sweet ’neath the midnight winter moon The jingling bell’s melodious tune ! Sweet to the homeward voy’gers ear His well known church boll, pealing clear! But sadly its lament doth fall On prisoner in the dungeon wall, Reminding that its sands will pass Soon thro’ his brief life’s empty gla*s. When this fair eaith, so green and bright, Must vanish from his aching sight; Sad sounds it on the crowded deck Os the fast sinking, storm-toss- and wreck ; Sad sound! to those whose mournful tread Bears to the dust the lovely dead. From the Globe, Jan. 13. NAPOLB'ON. We lake from the Journal of Commerce an extract from a long anti interesiinir teller of a correspondent at St. Helena, giving tin account of ihe disinterment of Napoleon’s re mains. Great care, it seems, was taken to preserve them from violation and from decay. The precise account ot the condition of the body when Hie coffins were opened, (which we add) will be read with much greater inter est than ail the vaunting of the ostentatious pageantry which attended their deposile in the Invalides. Frm the Utter to the J mncl of C.imnurCe, dated at St. Helena, November 2, 1840. The tomb was at this time, in the presence of the above named persons, found as entire and perfect as it was immediately after the interment of Napoleon, on the 9lh of May, 1821. The first thing removed fras the iron railing which encompassed the fop part of the tomb, and toping in which it had been in serted. The surface occupied a space of a boul 12 feel by 8, covered with llnee glairs of Portland stone, half afoul in thickness, testing upon the masonry embraced by iron binds. These slabs were displaced a little before two o’clock. Immediately was exposed to view a wall, being the four sides ol the vault, t foot 4 inches thick; width of the vault 4 feet 8 inches, depth If feet; length 8 feet. Under the three slabs there wasa vacuum of 6 inch es. When the earth was taken away, there was a solid layer of Roman fcemeht to the ex tent of 6 feet 10 inches. In a short time this was all taken away, by much exertion, with chisels. The commissioner?, all tfie time watchful, frith a number of lighted lanterns, then descended as far as the progress of the work would allow them, for the purpose of ascertaining frhether all was right. At this moment, when the layer of cement had hern removed, a bed of 10 1-2 inches of masonry of hard stone was exposed to view, strongly secured by iron Clamps, and well cemented. Nearly five hours were expended in accom plishing this part of the work, which atone (imC the English Commissioner ihmighf he would not be able to accomplish, and he therefore saw fit to issue orders to clear away the exterior earth and commence taking down the north side of the vaftlt, in order to effect an entrance to the chamber in frhich lay (he remains of the great deceased; but by eight o’clock the object (without this operation) be ing finally accomplished, he gave directions to'desist. At this time the workmen had got to ihe depth of nearly six sees. When (his masofrv had been finally remov ed, there was found immediately under, a Portland stone slab, about half a foot thick, 8 feet 7 1 -2 inches long, by S feet wide, cov ering and forming the upper surface of the chamber. All around this was as perfect as it was oh the day it was laid. Into these slabs, in orderlorai.se them, holes were drill ed by means of chisels, and iron rings were put in, so as to lift them out. It was now nearly 10 o’clock, and t. Guifard purified the tomb with certain preparations lie had previously got ready, The slabs were then lifted to the surface of the earth with tackles fastened to spars, and put at the s ; de of the vault, and as soon as Napoleon’s coffin came into sight. the French chaplain sprinkled holy water (Eau Benite) ail over the tomb, and then read a psaltn ‘de profundis,’ at which moment all persons present, out of respect, took off their hats. The commissioners, with their wonted watchfulness, again descended into the vault, when they found the coffin of Napoleon as sound as it was on the first dav of its deposite there, with (he exception only of a small part of the bottom, which wa slighllv decayed. It must be observed that the bottom of fhis chamber rested up"ft sev eral small stane pillars equidistant from each other, so placed that the soakage ftom the adjoining hill might pass off without injuring the chamber. This proved to be an excellent precautionary measure. The Governor be ing unwell at Plantation House, had given Captain Alexander orders to proceed thus far without his presence—therefore, having got to this extent, an officer was sent to report progress. In the mean time, precautionary measures were adopted by lire surgeon. The coffin was raised to tlte sUtlace untouched, shngs and hooks having been carefully intro duced under its bottom sides, and it was after wards taken lo a tent, which had been pitch ed close by, for its reception, at which moment the priest read a laconic prayer (La Levee do Corps) agreeably to the Homan Catholic forms. When the'coffin had been thus removed, the commissioners stepped into the chamber, in which had rested his coffin for upwards of 19 and a half years, which chamber was as perfect and as dry as it was on the 9th May, 18-21. The outside coffin (mahogany) was separated and taken asunder, next to which was one of lead in the highest state of preser vation. Arrangements having been previous ly directed by his Excellency, in consequence of his indisposition,—tins leaden coffin was hoisted up and placed within the sarcophagus sent (rom France for that purpose. This done, the Governor with his Staff made their appearance, to witness the opening of the in nermost coffin. The upper surface ot the leaden coffin was then carefully removed, when another mahogany one was discovered in a most excellent stale. The lid of the in ner one immediately next the remains of Na poleon, made of sheet tin, superficially corro ded, was nit lifted. Then appeared a white satin enveloping the body, which satin was bv the surgeon himself removed, and the mortal remains of the great deceased were exposed to view, to several who knew him, and several who knew him not. The fea tures of the Corsican Lieutenant had to all appearance suffered but very little, for they were readily recognised. General Gourgaud on beholding them exclaimed, ‘ Good! very good!!” And the several articles, pictures, &c. &c. which had been placed around him within the coffin, appeared as they were on the day of interment. Napoleon’s hands were in the same position and place in which his faithful Bertrand had nearly twenty years before placed them, and looked in a high slate of preservation. His order, his uniforrh, his cocked hat, which has ever been identified with his person, were but very little injured by the hand of lime, and the whole wore the air of very recent deposile; but part of the satin appeared to have insinuated itself into the skin of the face. Two minutes only elapsed for this exposure, which was chiefly to aflbrd the surgeon time to use certain preventives to further decomposition. The tin coffin was then closed and soldered, the rttahoganv one secured, and the leaden one soldered. The other leaden one within ahd belonging to the sarcophagus sent from France, was likewise soldered and sealed, When the sarcophagus was locked, and (he key then handed to Comte de Chabot. the French Commissioner, by Captain Alexander, the English Commis sioner. The sarcophagus, afier some form alities of expression between the Commission ers, was then placed on the hearse and cov ered with the pall (a very rich one made of crimson velvet) and between 3 and 4 o’clock the procession moved from the tomb. THE REMAINS OF NAPOLEON. Dr. Guiliard, who accompanied the Prince De Joinville in the expedition to St. Helena, has published an account of the exhumation of Napoleon, from which the following are extracts: “The upper part of the leaden coffin was then cut and raised with the greatest precau tion; within it was found a coffin of wood, in very good state, and corresponding to the descriptions and recollections of the persons present who had assisted at the burial. The lid of Ihe third coffin having been raised, there was found a lining of tin slightly oxvdised, Which having also been cut and raised, allow ed us to see a sheet of white satin. This sheet was raised with the greatest precaution by ihe hands of the doctor only, and the en tire body of Napoleon appeared. The fea tures had suffered so little, as to he imritedr ately recognised. The different objects de posited in the coffin were remarked in the exact positions where they had been placed; the hands were singularly well preserved; the uniform, the orders, Ihe'hat, bm litllfc changed; the whole person, in fact, seemed to indicate a recent inhumation. The body remained exposed to the air for only, almost, the two minutes necessary for the surgeon to take the measures prescribed by his instructions, in order to preserve it from all further altera tions.’ “Something white, which appeared to have become detached from the lining, covered, as if with a thin gauze, all that the coffin con tained The cranium and forehead, which adhered strdngly to the satin, were particular ly stained with it, hut verv little was seen on the lower part of the lace, on the hands, or on the toes. The body of the Emperor was in an easy position, as when it was plated in ihe coffin; the upper members were laid at length, the left arm and hand resting on ilie left thrighf the lower hubs were slightly ben'; the head, a lit tie raised, rested on a cushion. The voluminous skull, the high Ibrehead, pre sented themselves, covered with hard and yel low teguments Closely adhered to them. Such appeared also the contour of the orbits, the upper edges of which were furnished with the eyebrows. Under the eyelids were still to he distinguished the ocular globes, which had lost very little of their volume or form. The eyelids were completely closed, adhered to the subjacent parts, and were hard under the pressure of the finger. Some eyelashes were to he seen on their edges. The hopes of the nose and the tegument which coveted them, were Well preserved,- the ftfbes and nostrils alone has suffered. The cheeks were full. The teguments of this part of the face were remarkable for their softness to the touch and their whiteness. Those of the chin were slightly blue, a tint they had borrowed front the beard, which had grownafier death. The chin itself had undergone no Change, and si ill preserved the peculiar type of ihe lace of Napoleon. The thin lips were parted, and three ol the incisive teeth, very white, appeared under the upper lip, which Was a little raised toward the left. The hands were perfect, not having undergone the least change. Although the joints were stiff, the skin preserv’d! that pe culiar color which is only to be found in the living man. The nails of the fingers were long and adherent, and very white. Toe legs were in hoots; but in consequence of the opening of the seams, the last four toe3 were mit oh each side. The skin of these toes were of a dead white, and furnished with nails The anterior region of the throat was much depressed in the middle, and the sides of the bellv hard and sunk. All the membeis cov ered by the clothing appeared to have pre served theirshapes. I pressed the left arm which f Ibtmd to he hard and diminished in thickness. As to the clothes, ihev appeared With their colors, so that the uniform of the horse chasseurs of the oht guard was so he recognised bv the dark green of the coat and its bright red facings. The grand cordon or fire fegion’ of honor was across the Waistcoat, and the white breeches were partly covered bv the hat, which was placed on the thighs. The epaulettes, the star, and other decorations attached to the breast, had lost their briman cy and turned b.ack. The gold crown of the cross of officer of the Legion of Honor I tad alone preserved its polish. Vases of silver ap peared between the legs; one surrounded by an eagle, which rose above the knees; they were found entire, and dosed. As there were adhesions between these vases and the parts they touched, I uncovered them a little, the King’s commissioner not thinking it right that they should be removed for the purpose of a clearer examination.” ARRIVAL OF THE REMAINS OF NA TOLEON IN THE SKINE. The Havre journnl gives an account of the entrance of the remains of Napoleon into the Seine, and their passing in front of that port. On Tuesday the weather was stormy, and tears were entertained that the passage from Cherbourg would be d.fficult; but as nighi came on, the wind Subsided, and the weather cleared. The convoy arrived at Havre in the evening, and remained in the roads. At six yesterday morning the drums of the Na tional Guard and the garrison beat the reveil le, and by half past six nearly the whole po pulation of the town and environs were as sembled ort the piers, on tlie heights, and along the shore, eagerly looking out for the funeral cortege. As the lighi increased, the vessels became perceptible. The Normandie steamer with the body on board, was distinguished taking the lead, dressed in her colors. iSI-e was fol lowed by (lie Seine and the Courier, the Ro deur culler remaining at large. At seven thie convoy passed within a short distance of the jetlv, running at a quick rate, impelled by the wind and tide, with very little steam on. Ge neral attention was turned exclusively to the Normandie, which made a majestic appear ance. The coffin, covered with an embroid ered pall, and surrounded by burning lights, was the most striking object. The sun Com ing out just at this moment, added greatly to the effect of the scene. The Journal adds that, unfortunately, the arrangements made for lining the jetties with National Guards, for firihg salutes, fitc. were either badly made or tardily executed, so that the National Guards tVere not present when the convoy passed, ffnd the municipal and other authori ties came running out to the pier just as the steamers were going round to the end of it. The salutes were not fired until after Ihe ves sels had passed. It appears that the steamer which has been fitted up to receive the remains of the Emperor at Rouen,cannot he sent down the river, and is left at St. Denis. It was found to expose too great a surface to the wind, and was too wide and high to pass under Some of the bridges. The t)or,lde has pro ceeded alone to Rouen, where it will receive the remains of Napoleon, and bring them as far as St. Denis. At this place the coffin will be put on board the steamer above men tioned, and will be conveyed in it to Courbe voie. The Funeral Car. —The car which is to convey the remains of Napoleon from Cour bevoie to the Invalides, is finished. The ef fect of it may now he judged of as well by its draperies and decorations, as bv its form, which is much more gigantic titan that of the victims of July. It is 35 feet in heighth, 34 in length, and 16 in width. It is upon four massive gilded wheels. The car is com posed of a basement, with panels between columns. The platform upon which the coffin is to be placed, is covered with a violet colored velvet, embroidered in gold, with bees, stars, and eagles. The under carriages, both before and behind, are of a semicircular form, decorated with the four trophies of flags takefj Rom different nations* The bier has similar drapery to the pedestal,- decorated with the imperial mantle, sceptre, and crowm, and is supported by fourteen figures, repre senting the principal victories of ihe French. The base of the cars is covered with garlands and Crowns of immortates. Over the whole is an immense crape dra pery, which hangs down to the ground. This prodigious hearse is lo be drawn hy sixteen horses, dressed with feathers, and housings embroidered in gold, with the arms of the Emperor. The supporters will be three Marshals dnd an Admiral, all on horseback. An immense temporary wharf and a lofty temple are ereciiog at Courbevoie, for the reception of the remains on their landing. The officers of the National Guard of Paris have drawn lots fur the legion which is lo escort the funeral car if Napoleon from Courbevoie to the Invalides, and the honor has fallen on the 3d legion. The 10th will be stationed round the Invalides, and the rest will line the route to the cortege. The Minister of the Interior intends pro ceeding, with the authorities of the Depart rrtent of the Seine, to the limits of the Depart ment beyond St. Denis, on the river, in order to receive the retinitis of Napoleon with im perial honors. Two steamers are preparing for this purpose. FUNERAL OF NAPOLEON. Paris, December 15. At eight o’clock this morning numbers of persons were already assembled at. the door leading to the Church of the Invalides, which was riot opened till nine. Great confusion was occasioned by carts of sand that went in every five minutes, throwing back the crowd and frightening people to death. At last the doors were thrown open, and alter rushing about, through endless long passages, we found ourselves in the interior of the beauti ful chapel of the invalides. The effect was most striking. The whole nave carpeted in black, with seats arranged en amphitheatre on each side, filled with military?’ and up the side aisle, between the pillars, were numerous rows of benches all occupied by a multitude in deep mourning. Between the pillars were hung black draperies embroidered with silver bor ders and deep silver fringe; a large lustre hung in the centre of each, whose many lights shone brilliantly in relief against the dark draperies. The pillars were ornamented with gilded tro phies, the names of Napoleon’s victories, Austerlitz, \Vagrjm,&c. and each side cf the pillars were three large tricolored flags. The upper tribunes containing thou; aruls of people, were also hung with black, embroidered with silver border and golden emblems? and sur mounting each division in these tribunes, was a black medallion, surrounded withl aurelsy on which were inscribed in golden letters the principal acts of the Emperor’s life, such as the peace of Amiens, and J-unevilie. Above these medallions, and extending all round the nave, were immense numbers of fbigs taken from the enemy in different battle-. From the door of entrance up to'the rails of tho choir were placed at short distances enormous can delabras, twelve or fourteen feet high, from which issued brilliant colored Acmes. The choir arid dome, which form perhaps more than half the church, separated from the nave by a flight of steps, were hung with pur ple clsth from the .ground so the surnrni*, and brilliantly lighted with hundreds of ins'res In the centre of the choir, in front of the altar, w&s erected the splendid catafalque, a repre sentation in gilded wood of the tomb that is to te erected in marble, supported by four pillars, and surmounted by a golden eagle with outspread wings. At 1 c’c.'cck the car r.on announced the departure cf the King tor the Tuilleries, and at 2 the procei s.oa enter- ed the church, headed bv the Prince de Join vilJe, with the four hundred mariners of the Beile Poule, remarkably handsome looking men. The clergy* headed by the Archbishop of Paris, awaited the arrival of the body.— This was decidedly the most beautiful mo ment of the whole ceremony; the steps lead ing up to the choir lined on both sides with the military and old invalids; so many of whom had fought under Napoleon; the whole of the aisle filled on both sides with troops, and all down the centre of the stepfe and part of the aisle, the hotly of clergy standing in religious silence, awaiting the entrance of the cortege. The Archbishop’s attitude would havfe made a lovely picture—his eyes fixed on the cross, that was carried on high before him, and his hands joined in prayer, apparently heedless of the crowds around him, called one’s thoughts from the pageantry of the scene to higher things. Most of tlie cures of Paris were also in the. procession, and the appearance of so many of those good ministers of peace among the mul titude of military; formed a beautiful and stri king contrast. The drums rolled, the cannons shook the old walls of the Invalides, and then the muffled drums came slewly and solemnly up the aisle. At last the coffin came insight, borne by several of the marines of the Belle Poule and some of the old invalids, and the four corners by his old friends Bertrand, Mar chand, Lascases, and :. The coffin was covered with purple velvet and ri large white cross, and the imperial Crown was laid on it, covered with black crnjve. The moment the coffin passed, there was a strong demonstra tion of enthusiasm and acute feeling; every one rose up and bent forward, but not a word was uttered; a religious silence prevailed.— In front of the magnificent white and gold or gan was erected a large platform for the mu sicians; and as soon as the body was brought up to the choir, and the mass began, Mozart’s celebrated requiem was performed by all the principal singers of the Italian and French ope ras. An interesting sight, also; was the arri val of the venerable old Maresehal Moncey, who had long since expressed his ardent Wish that he might live to see tbife dd}'. He is in a very infirm state; and they say has been nurs ing himself with great care, to be able’ to en counter the fatigue of being present to receive the remains of his beloved master. He arriv ed in a chair oil wheels, and ttas with difficul ty lifted up the steps into the chair. It was a curious incident in the beginning of the day to see the little bustling M, Thiers strutting about in his cloak, and collecting a crowd arohnd him in the middle of the church to hear him talk with M.Mole; as if he had been in a salon. The crowd augmented every moment; and on every side the people whispered voy ez la cour autotir de M. Thiers. I must not forget to mention the effect of the altar, which was glorious: numbers of silver hanging lamps of the most elegant form, were suspended ini front of it, and the alterpiece itself was of sil ver, a sort of chiselled silver on a purple vel vet ground. On each side the altar and around the catafalqe were tribunes anu benches: in one tribune hung with purple cloth, were the King and the Ministers; and in the other the Infanta of Spain; and every corner of the immense building was full from 9 in the morning till half past 5, in spite of the cold; which was intense. The cold was indeed bitter for those to whom tickets had been al’oted for the tri bunes that occupied each side of the avenue leading up the esplanade of the Invalides from the quay to the great gate; but the crowd bore the biting frost with patience; for it was decidedly one Os the very best positions for seeing the funeral procession pass. The .stands were already filled by 11 and it was not until 2 o’clock that the procession reached the quay: Never was sight during this interval of three mortal hours less appro priate to the occasion than the spectacle w r e had before us. The intense cold rendered movement necessary for fear of being frozen to the spot, and to keep themselves Warm, the spectators in the stands began to dance.—. The mania gained the crowd below, and for a long time the troops of tlie line and the Na tional Guardi wfere joining in one general con tredarlce Or an enormous ronde ala main. — This preliminary orgie, while waiting for the body of the great hero of their nation, and in the face of the long line of statutes of their greatest warriors, struck us as being peculiar ly French—perhaps we mean inconsistent.— Aproj)t)s of the long line of warrior statues that lined the avenue: the idea struck us as good. These heroes seemed placed there to receive the last, and perhaps greatest, warrior of the nation, as he was restored in death to his country. They may have been coarsely executed for the greater part, but this succes sion of warriors, from Charlemagne and Clo vis down to the last Generals of the Empire, placed upon the passage of the Emperor to salute him as he passed to his last home, was well conceived. But why place Napolecn in his imperial robes, at the end, to greet him self? A gamin near us shouted, as the pro cession passed, “ Them! viola comme VEin pereur fait la queue a lui meme!” Till the procession really reached this spot, the hours of impatient waiting wefe long; the dancing; however, which we have already described, whiled away the time of some* and the cannon fired from the first court of the Invalides eve - ry quarter of an hour seemed to warm the hearts, if not the limbs, of others. For our parts, the cannon had one great a dj vantage; the rich clouds of rolling smoke that they sent forth hid from our eyes for a time tlie hare poles and skeleton scaffolding of the half-draped spars that were announced in the programme as a triumphal funeral entrance to the Invalides. Nothing could be more pal try, more ugly, more disgraceful than this rag* -red looking curtain to the great drama that was to be acted. Ten workmen might have | completed in time what it was impossible for three to finish, as they wen* through their la zy movements seemingly as if they had re ceived orders not to have it done in time.— . The very fire-pots that occupied the tripods at ; the top of the two entrance gate posts of plat ed half gilt wood, seemed as if they, too, had orders not to bum and only to smoke. The same ordre de jour was zealously ob served by the other eandelabras that alternat ed with the statues along the avenue leading to the Invalides, and that smoked instead of blazing, and went out before the funeral pro ceesion arrived. The, day before the proces sion reached s had cleared up beautifully. A small quantity of snow had fallen, but the Heavens did more for the solemnity of the ce remony than man had done. The day, as far as the season of the year would admit of, was a day such as proverbially graced Napoleon’s fetes iu his imperial splendor, and greeted him again as he received his last honors. We heard it called a Napoleonic day. From the point of view of the esplanade of the Invalides the coup d’ceil of the procession was magnificent. It was perhaps the best situation for seeing it pass. Ihe sight was real'v grand as the procession headed the fu neral car along the vista leading to that splen did building at its termination. The funeral car we have said —but this epithet might have been loft aside, for, splendid as wa* the ma chine that bore the Emperor’s coffin, it was a triumphal car in truth, but had but few attri-* ; bate? of a funeral nature.— V.
