WASHINGTON, May 10.
IN SENATE.
! NORTH EASTERN BOUNDARY LINE
Mr.. Webster presented resolutions Of the Massa-
chusciis Legisia turc, upon this subject, which Is
now fast assuming critical position, in our az.
fairs, Mr.. Webster made some remarks upon tho
interest which Massachusetts, felt in this shame
fully neglected matter, and was follower by
! M. Williams Of Maine, who gave notice, that
he should Tomorrow ask leave to bring in bill,
10 authorize the survey Of tho North Eastern
Boundary line.
Here then, comes up another interesting qucs-
iion, for discussion, this session, in tho Senate.
Evans has already opened il, in the House, with
much effect, in ono Of the most thorough and n
bic speeches delivered upon that floor. il
IT,, indeed, . question Of momcntous Importance,
10 the whole nation, we'll a. to the States more
Immediately affected by its decision.
The present Governor Of Maine, Edward
Kent. has already sig"alised his administration,
(ihe first Of the Wing asccndancy in Mane,) by
taking decided ground upon this subject Il is
understood, that If this effort fails induce the
General Government to run the line between tho
United States and the British Territory, he will
SEQ that a line is run between that Territory
AMI tho State Of Maine. He has recommended
this subject to the attention Of tho Legislature
Of that Statc-and has sent hither the honorable
Charles ]. Davis, Of Portland, = distinguished
juris', civilian and statesman, and who has tho
morris Of this whole subject at his fingers ends,
to look after the interests Of Maine, in this mat
ter. He arrived this day, and this affair it 10
be confidently hoped and believed, will DO ut
SALE OF U. 8. BONDS Tho hill authori.
sing the sale Of certain bonds Of the United
States, taken up, passed, and sent to the
House Of Representatives.
THE DISTRICT BANKS-Tho District
banks bill was taken up, in order, and was dis
cussed at length, Benton having the floor. He
went Off in TRADE, usual, about shin plastcrs
five dollar rags, and mint drops,-in the midst Of
which your correspondent left him. The joke 10
too a'e,-thc trick t0oodd, the mountcbank too
much Of bore.
scrnoon, April %, the mournful duty Of commit
ting to the grave nineteen Of the sufferers in the
destruction Of the Mosellc, was performed in this
city, associated with solemn funeral service, up
on account Of all the sufferers.
As the calamity was peculiar and transccndant
in its horrors, 80 were the funeral obeeques SOL
emn and imposing beyond any thing that has over
taken place in this city. At three O'Clock, upon
tho first toll Of tho bell, every place Of business
was closed. 1t IS believed there was no excep-
tioo. Apparently tho whole city was a moving
mass to tho foot Of Broadway, where the process
sion vas forming. This was accomplished accord
ing 10 previous regulations. The deceased, in
closed in proper collins, placed in the hcarscs
Of the city, which not being sufficient to convey
them, the necessary number Of carriages were
added. When the procession vas prepared TO
move, Broadway to Fourth street, and the con-
were literally ch"ked with ono crowded jam Of
human beings.-Among all these, no word was
spoken, no look Of ieviiy was INDUCED. The I'M
ivcrsal feeling was too deep foe any such sensa-
lion to be felt
Tho progress Of tho proceas;on, 80 vast IN num- |
befs, soem0 in manner, made every whore on it |
ine Of movement the deepest impression. Sad I
and sorrowtul faces, hundreds Of them beloved
with tears, crowded TO windows, doors, and all
places Of obeervatin0.
Tho intcrmest took place in the public burial
1round, and Mt this last act Of respect snd kind
ness that car be performed by the liv ing, for the
lead, some most touching scenes occurred. Thoae
10 bc deposited il the- last earthly rest we're all
strangers. Some Of them wcre members Of the
'ame family, and in ono or two instances ssrviv-
ng relations were preseat. Ono mother, . Ger
nan, whose husband is amoag the lost, cast her
elf upon the coffin Of her only two children, in
'go0ics seldom witnessed But must omit .
letail Of those scenes.
The impressive funeral service Of the Episco-
al church was read BY the Rev. Mr. Brooke, and
brief, but most pertinent an6 affecting address
made, by the Rev. Mr.. Sehon Of the Methodist
Episcopal church. Our narration here ends, and
&c presume not to break ,ts effect with any re-
|eciio0s.
