 ". FOR CLERK OF Fiiis SUPERIOR COURT. William Field.
 Ihe late General Bohvor.-The Ja- maica Conrant, in speaking of the fune- ral of Bolivar, mentions that his body was embalmed, and laid in state for three days at the Custom House, tie front of which appeared in magnificent mourn Ing with monument therein. 1t is ai- most impossible to imagine the anxiety that was manifested to get view of the remains of their Liberator, the staircase being often impossible from the numbers ascending and descending. His funeral took place on the Doth, and so splendidly and with so much order was il conduct ed, that the inhabitants Of Santa Martha. in the midst of the grief that overwhelm- ed them for the irreparable loss, were pleased to see so much love and grati- tude manifested to so worthy a person. age. The ceremony lasted four hours. and ip the Holy Cathedral Church a magnificent and tasteful funeral decora- ton was prepared, which added greatly to solemnize the scene. The populace flocked there in crowds, to see the last Iof their lamcnted leader. The Band played two funeral marches, and the Moro fortress fred q cannon every half hour, the bells responding. Such is d faint description of what Santa Martha 1 has doneson the occasion of the irrepa- rable loss of the ssImmortal Founder of Colombia
 1 The editor of the Philadelphia Ma tional Gazette, says:--It was deemed expedient, for public ends, to conceal his real situation, as far as this was practi- cable. We believe that his character will be elevated in the estimation of the world by a true narrative of his feel ings and proceedings in the final stages Of his eyenttul and important career.- He was man of large soul and prodi- i gious energy; at once a statesman and a warrior; superior to hishation in gene ral in his abilities, vieS , achievments. beyond their progression; destined to experience their distrust and their ingra- titude, because they could understand neither him nor themselves: hero like paez is more fit for their present cast ol scope of sentiment and apprehension l IAe .Norih Eastenn Boundary.--Wt mentioned q day or two since, that tho House of Representative of Maine went suddenly into secret session ol Monday week, no doubt in reference tt 1 this subject, and that statement of tlleil proceedings was immediately transmit 1 ted to Washington. The nature of these proceedings is of course unknown. Blu VIC infer from the tone of the Maine pa pers, that q good deal of dissatisfaction exists in that State, in consequence 0 the decision, though not half so much We are persuaded, as is felt in Grea 1 Britain and the Colonies. The Port land Evening Advertiser says:
 l "ln truth the British have obtained all they want, military post in our rear with opportunity to encroach on our ter ritory whenever circumstances require. The General Government must be ap. pealed to for relief from the decision ol this uncrowncd head, this wandering ar 1 bitter of the Netherlands.
 ltis quite too late to appeal 10 the National Government for rclien She will grant no relief, and ought to grant none. She is bound in honor te ;ibidd, by the decision, and would be, though the whole of the territory in dispute had been awarded to Great Britain. But instead of this, far the greatest, as well as the most valuable part of it, has been given to the U. States. To fly off from such decision, (or indeed any other to which we have voluntarily become a party, and which has been fairly made) would brand the nation with infamy, be- sides involving us in a bloody war. If the good people of Maine wish the decision arcsckea and | the ti,e questionplaced onits former footing, we can tell them that Great Britain will gladly consent to such a repeal, and giveus a million of dollarsinto the bargain. She will then
