FUNERAL OF 1T. JOIN BROOKS.
On Friday last, the remains OF Lieut.
John Brooks, who fell in the battle on
lake Erie, wee inferred in the new bu-
rial ground, upon the glacis OF Fort Shell
bv, within the military reserve Of this
city.
The ceremony was attended with mill
tary houors suited to the rank of the de-
ceased.
The BODY was escorted By a military
corps, and preceded by the Rev, Messrs'
MOntei,h aud Larned. The pail sup
ported By six lieateRants, with Scaris.--
Lieut.. col. Smith, and the officers of the
5.h U. s. regt. followed as mouTners--
Aarked by ma shaIS. Then succeeded
major general Macomb, governor CaSs'
and the civil, Judicial and municipal on
,ers Of the territory and city, citizens
and Strangers, aud the non. commissioned
sfScers and soldiers OF the army. The
precession was solemn and sublime. The
funeral service was per ormed by the
Rev. Mr.. Larned.
The following elegiac lines, on the oc-
casion, are from the pen Of captain Will
ting, Of the 5th regiment.
Too long on lonely isles neglected,
Mark'd By no stone, thy dust has slept,
By humble turI alone protected,
Der which rude lime each year has
swept.
Ere many summer, there had reveil'd,
Decking thy grave with Wild flowers
fair,
The humid earth, depres,'d and IcvelFd'
Had left no index vestige there.
Still hid the wave, around that dashcs-
Scene of thy Iate--the story tod'
And 'saiust the isle that held thy ashes,
In seeming fondness ccaseless rolld.
But now with kindred heroes lying,
Thou shalt repoSe on martial ground,
Thy couutry's banner DER thee flying.
Her castles and her camps around.
And friendship there shall leave its token,
And beauty there in tears may melt
For still the charm may rest unbrukcn,
So many tender hearts have fa!t.
Then rest, lamented youth! in honor,
Erie shall preserve thy name;
For those who fell meath Pe5ry's banner,
Must still survive in Perry's fame.

IMPROv RMENT.

We are happy to hear strangers from

ment and satisfaction at the very great
Improvement of Mobile in few months.
Those who have only been absent three

" as the number Of workmen will admit
of. We think we speak within bounds
when we say that 50 mechanics whose
trades are connected with the erection of
buildings. would receive immediate en-
ploy at high wages. Many more drays
would receive constant employ +; and we
know no article that is so much wanting
as good servants. We think there are as
many merchants as can do business to
advantage. Lawyers we have enough !!
A good physician and Surgeon we think
would do well and do sincerely hspe

Among other Disadvantages that we
