The funeral obsequies of Mr.. MONROE,
were performed on the 7th: Describing it the
New York American says: ''The funeral OBJ
sequies of the Elk president were magnifcen,
and impressive; not so much from any mill
litary array-though that was imposing-or
costly escutcheons, as from the participation
in them of whole people. Not less than
seventy thousand persons witnessed the So
Iemn spectacle! The line of march, which
extended nearly tive miles. was marked out
by two dense rows of people, who, without
guards or orders from any quarter, maintain.
ed their positions, and never once encroach.
ed upon the procession! The stoops, win
dows and housetops, were alive with spec
tators. The decorum which prevailed amid
this great thronS was alike striking and ere
ditable.
The shops generally were closed; and it i:
to be- mentioned, as especially creditable tc
the inhabitants of the Bowery and Chatham
row, through which the corpse was conveyed
to the City Hall, that their stores and dwell
lngs were hung in black--a spontaneous Fri
butte of respect.
