FRANCE.
The funeral ceremony of Marshal Excelmans took
place yesterday. Eleven o'clock was the hour men-
tioned in the cards of invitation sent to the numerous
friends of the deceased for the departure of the hearse
from the Grand Chaucellerie of the Legion of Honour,
which was his official residence. Precisely at that
hour the cortege opened ; a squadron of Guides, a
battalion of the 6th Regiment of Infantry,
preceded by its band, moved in front. A mourning
coach, with the clergy of St. Thomas d'Aquin, was
immediately followed by the hearse, drawn by six
horses, covered over with black cloth, adorned with
silver lace, and embroidered with silver stars
o;
ther the
sable
pall was held by General Magnan and three
general officers. Three mourners, arrayed in
cloakas carried, on rich velvet cushions,
the baton of
the Marshal, his coronet as Count, and his various
decorations. Then came his white charger covered
over with black crape, also sprinkled with silver
stars; the saddle and the housings of crimson velvet
edged with gold lace ; the beautiful animal itself was
led by two soldiers, a guide and a lancer. Captain
Excelmans, the eldest son of the deceased, followed
immediately after. A crowd of dignitaries of the
highest rank, in full costume, civil and military,
Senators, Councillors of State, Generals, Deputies,
&e., walked after. A great number of persons,
dressed in deep mourning, private friends of the de-
ceased, followed ; and the rear was closed by a de-
tachment of infantry and a squadron of lancers.
The cortege issued on the Esplanade of the Inva-
lides by the rue de l'Universi!e. On approaching the
principal entrance, which was hung in black, the bells
of the Invalides announced its arrival, and the clergy
attached to the Hotel proceeded to the gate to re-
ceive it. In front of the avenue leading to the Hotel,
detachments of troops had long before • taken up their
position. On the left, as you approach the gate
from the river, two battalions of the Republican
Guard and Gendarmerie Mobile kept the
ground; and on the •right two battalions
of Chasseurs and three of troops of the line.
The Boulevards in the seine direction were
lined on both sides with infantry ; and M -the rear
were sthtioned a battery of artillery, and a body of
cavalry, Consisting of several Squadrons of the Re-
publican Guard, Guides, and Lancers • while detach-
ments of Gendarmerie, and the mounted Republican
Guard, assisted by squads of Sergena-de-Ville,
kept the ground clear. The Invalides were drawn
up from the portico of the church to the outer gate,
in a double line. As soon as the bells gave notice of
the arrival of the corpse towards its last resting
place, the drums beat to arms. In a few minutes
after the Archbishop of Pale, arrayed in full pon-
tificals, annd attended by his clergy, arrived ; he
wail received at the steps by the clergy
of the Hotel, the Prelate distributing his blessing to
the crowd of civilians and military as he
passed through the ranks. The corridors over-
looking the courts were filled with spectators. The
coffin was then taken out of the hearse and transferred
to the lofty catafalque erected in the centre of the
Chapel of the Invalides in front of the altar. The
facade of the edifice was hung in black, even to the
columns, which were completely concealed in the
same sable covering, and the escutcheon and initials
of the Marshal embroidered on it. The interior of
the chapel was similarly arrayed. The galleries on
both sides of the building were reserved for ladies,
who were most numerous, and nearly all dressed in
black ; the space below was thronged nearly to suffoca-
tion by men, who also appeared in mourning.
At 12 o'clock precisely the drums again beat to
arms, and the trumpets of the cavalry outside gave
note of the approach of the Prince President. Louis
Napoleon, who bad arrived from St. Cloud expressly,
entered the court yard of the Hotel n a
in open car-
riage, drawn by six horses, and folloWed by another
drawn by four, also open, containing his aides de-
camp. He wore the uniform of a Lieutenant-General,
and was received with the honours due to his rank.
Reentered- the church accompanied by his uncle,
Marshal Jerome Bonaparte, who walked on his left,
and followed by a crowd of Generals and other
dignitaries. The whoie of the spectators stood up to
receive him, and the Invalides drawn up in the
church presented their military salute. The Presi-
dent's arrival was the signal for the service to begin.
The Archbishop of Paris officiated. The organ played
during the whole time of the ceremony, and the
Sabutaris llostia and the Aliserere were sung with
much effect by a single voice. From the moment the
hearse left the Palace of thienuCtheance llerie till the con-
clusion of the ceremony m
drums and full bands alternatelyguns were fired ; the
played ; and, at the
elevatiOn cf the Host, the whole
of
of the the troops, both
walls
Outside and within the • Invalides, presented
arms.
General Petit, his, hair White as snow, and his form
bent by years, was present duringm of
the
anide-d
ceremony.a
He had to be supported' on the ar
camp, but, as he passed along the line of Invalides and
old soldiers of the Empire,
many of whom were perhaps
present at the farewell of Fontainbleau, his•hand was
warmly grasped, by privates as well as offieers.
Amongst other distinguished persona present was
M. de R Ivigiatin, the celebrated preacher, who
is the brother the Countess Excelmans, widow of
the deceased Marshal. After the ceremony the Prince
President of the Republic reposed himself for a short
time in the apartments of the Governor of
the Itm-
hides, then proceeded, it was said, to the Elre., and
from .thence returned to St. Cloud. An ieunense
crowd thronged all the approaches to the Invalides,
and from an early hour, carriages, horsemen, and foot
Passengers might be seen traversing the quays towards
that point. The troops returned to their quarters
about 3 o'clock.
We way add that a sum of money was given by the
family of the Marshal to the CelnPaY of Grenadiers
of the 72d Regiment of the Line, that escorted the
body from the spot where be met his death ; the
Grenadiers accepted the gift, but only to transfer it
immediately to the hands of the Mayor of the Com-
mune, for distribution amongst the poor.

MRS. CHISHOLM AND HER, --SYSTEM OF
EMIGRATION.
Mrs. Chisholm held ar.l,thrr of her levees of emi-
grants and their friends en Monday evening, tit the
BritiAl Institution, Cowper-street. Owing to the
intense interest now felt by all classes of society is
the subject of emigration, there was a cro ded attend-
ance, and public attention is now more strongly drawn
to the matter in consequence of the recent exposure
of the heartless frauds which have been practised
in the metropolis on persons intending to emigrate.
About one third of the emigrants present on this oc-
casion were females ; the remainder were boys and
men chiefly under thirty years of age. Most of them
are proceeding by the Chalmers, 680 tons register,
now lying in the London Docks, and which is ex-
pected to sail from Gravesend on Sunday, with 225
emigrants, all classified according to Mrs. Chisholm's

plan.
Mrs. Cnesetoem, in opening her address, alluded to
the convenience which had been provided in her ves-
sels for washing olothes and procuring baths. ref
vious to these arrangements a very large stock of
clothes was necessary ; the difference
was equal to
a saving of 3001. to a poor family, while
the washhouse and baths did not cost more
than 301. for each vessel. With a little ad-
ditional expense, an arrangement might be made for
drying clothes on board ship. So important were
these arrangements foe the comfort of the emigrants,
that they ought not to take a passage in any ship un-
provided with washhouse and bath. In reference to
stockings, she observed that two pairs of good ones
were better than six pairs of bad ones. A supply of
needles and worsted was also essential. She would
recommend every young man to take such materials ;
for both on board ship and in the colonies they would
have to mend their own stockings. A great deal
of money was generally wasted in the slop shops,
and great stress was laid on the necessity of clothing
for both hot and cold weather. She was anxious
to expose this fallacy. All that was necessary in
cold weather was to protect the joints, not to load
the body with a great amount of extra clothing.
An old blanket cut up and sewed inside the waist-
coat or trousers would be found very useful. It
was a delusion to talk of things being very dear in
the colony. Women would not find it necessary to
take out more than two gowns for the voyage. Thin
slippers should be avoided, as they are very apt to
give cold. In the list of articles recommended by the
society to be purchased were cabbage-nets, which
were the most useful things that could be taken to sea,
as well for cooking as for other purposes. One might
be used for putting children's shoes in at night, and
hanging them up, by which means they would be dry
in the morning. Coarse aprons, bath-brick, and
sand-paper were recommended to be taken, and
numerous were the inquiries what they were to
be used for. Many who were about to face
the diggings contemplated with horror the idea
of cleaning their own knives.—(Laughter.) Her
object was that females, in particular, should have
with them everything necessary for health, com-
fort, and cleanliness, in order that there might be no
pretext for interfering with them by the officers of
the vessel.—(Hear, hear.) Mrs. Chisholm then an-
nounced that her personal superintendence of shipping
-was about to terminate. Several respectable houses
in the city were about to adopt her improvement!,
and the society had determined not to interfere with
the trade by, sending out ships, but to wait
patiently for some time to see whether the thing
was properly done. At the same time she bad felt
that those who were about to sail, and those who
had written to her from the colonies inclosing remit-
tances for the passages of their relatives, had the
strongest possible claim upon her to do all in her
power to promote their comfort.—(Hear, hear.) She
bad agreed to visit the ships, and to see that every-
thing was properly done ; she knew that the pro-
visions had been purchased from respectable houses,
and that a fair and honest price had been paid for
them.— (Hear, hear.) ' The Chalmers would sail
from Gravesend on Sunday evening next. Sailors
had an objection to sail on Friday—(Laughter)—
and Saturday being the fag-end of the week, the
emigrant's friends would not be able to go to see
them off. As the overwhelmning majority of the emi-
grants were members of the Church of England, they
'mould have service on board on Sunday, and after
that service they would proceed to sea.—(Hear, hear.)
The Ballinglass was chartered to sail from Southamp-
ton. She (Mrs. Chisholm) had been twice there ; she
was perfectly satisfied with the ship and its arrange-
ments; but she should continue, as was her habit, to
watch them closely. She had full liberty to te there
every hour she pleased ; and she should pursue the
same plan she had adopted with the society's ships.
Another ship was chartered to sail from Cork ;
she would be provisioned in London, and would be
superintended in the same manner. This would be
the first ship which had ever left Cork direct for
Australia with emigrants who had paid their own
passage.—(Hear, hear.) It was the commencement
in Ireland of a new state of things as regarded
emigration ; and it was certain wo should never
have any great reform in emigration till arrange-
ments were made for shipping emigrants at their
nearest possible port. The Irish and Scotch had
usually sailed from Liverpool ; and it was the
knowledge on the part of the agents and others
that they must leave at a short notice which
had given rise to the great impositions practised
on migrants in Liverpul. She was at Liverpool
some timentgo, and nearly the whole of those who ap-
plied to her for passages were persons who had lived
twenty or thirty years in the town, but who pre-
ferred sailing from Loudon.—(Hear, hear.) The
merchants of London had always been content if
they oould say they were before Liverpool in
their arrangements ; but by dispatching ships from
Southampton, Cork, and other ports, great advan-
tages would be secured to the emigrants. Though
the system of making remittances by the colonists
for their friends bad been but a short time in opera-
tion, upwards of 3,0001. bad been received in this
anxious
0;
uBsl/.
that from ob Ts one emigrant alone, who was most
mother
and other relatives should
join him.—(Cheers.) Already seventy aged parents
bad been sent for, some who were in the London world
houses. To meet this effort, the society bad behaved
in a very liberal manner. One parish would only give
101. for the removal of two aged parents, without
a shilling for their outfit; the remainder had to be
provided by the society. In another case a boy,
reared as a
pauper, had sent home a handsome sum
for the cost of his parents'
passage.— (Cheers.) Mrs.
Chisholmhere read a letter from a young man who
had gone out from Croydon, which contained some
highly interesting information. The following are
the principal portions:—
