FUNERAL PROFESSIONS.

The lamened decea Sc Of the late President Of
tho United States, which excited such general and
deep sorrow amongst all classes of people ha. cali
ell fotth in ncghborng villages, civic and mil
itaiy Professions OF solemn and imposing char
ecter. This is as il should he. The Chief M igis
tra,e Of our Nation was man who commanded re-
.pect alike for hi, civil, military, and social viz
tues and although party sPirt for while, labor
ed hard to stgmalize the fair fame Of WILLIAM
-UeSRr HARnlsoS, yet the good sense of this Re-
public does Justice to the deceased patriot, who
long and faithfully served his country, and who, in
the hour OF DEATH forgot not her interests
faithful understanding Of and adherence To the spi-
rit of the Constitution. These spectacles, too,
will have strong tendency to impress upon Euro
peans-who little comprehend US. and QUE instu-
tions-n more exalted idea OF the capacity of free
men To govern themselves, and to honor and sp-
p,eciae worth in their ruers.-In the Funeral Pro,
sessions taking place throughout this land the
Subjects of Monarchy will see that what they call
the abstract respect of Republicans, is something
NOBLE and not less sincere than the ioyahy

Correspondence Of he Baltimore pslriot
WAsHINGroN, April l6, ls4I.

Pres dent TYLER removed from his late
lodgings at Browns Hotel, to The Execu-
+ tive Mansion yesterday, aud held the first
Cabinet Council that had met there since
the death of General HARRISON.
1t is customary, on the occasion of
new President, to take an inventory orall
the articles of furniture, all the appoint
ments Of the House, &c. &c. &c. This
seems 10 be equally due to the public,
the President who has occupied the House,
and him who succeeds. Yesterday Mr..
JoHN TYLER, Jr. accompanied by the
Commissioners of Pubic Buildings, and
by Col. Copeland and Mr.. Benjamin Har-
rson, Jr., on the part of the late Presi-
dents family, took this inventory.
Mrs. HARRISON, and the ladies' who
had been with her here, leave morrow.
1t Will be gratifying to the public TO learn
that the Secretary Of War intends to place
the two grandsons Of General HARRISON
- (both Of whom are fatherlcss) at West
Point, as soon rs they are OF lbe proper
age. One OF these is the son Of the anna
BILE and accomplished lady who presided at
the White House during the Generals
brief term. The other is the son of the
Generals eldest son-now dead and his
mother is the only child OF General Pike.
General IlARRIsoN had peculiar attach
ment to this spirited boy. He spoke of
him always with the greatest fondness aud
pride. The youth is eager TO follow the
profession Of arms. He feels the blood Of
his two ilusirious grand fathers stirring at
his heart. 1t was the wish OF General
HARRIsoN that he should receive the adj
vantages Of military education at West
Point and in connection with this object
Of his heart, | may mention the following
anccdote, as illustrative of the good ma
ture which characterized the intercourse
between General HARRISON and Mr. VAN
buren,, during the brief sojourn of the
former here, previous to the Inauguration.
At their first interview, after a CONVEX
sation distinguished by great humor on
the part OF Mr.. VAN BUREN, and more
than his usual vivacity on the part of Gen.
HARRISON, the latter said Mr. President,
have favor to ask you. There is a
grandson Of my gallant friend General
Pike, who is DESTROYS Of beirg placed at
West Point. He has nothing on earth
left him, but his grandfather's sword. He
is als2 grandson of mne-and as have
never appointed any relative to any place
i wish YOU 20 relieve me, aud send hm
to the Military Academy yourself"
Mr.. VAN BUREN, promptly replied that
it would give him peculiar pleasure to do
so. But it was found that the youth lack.
cd some months Of the age required by the
regulations Of the Department. The plan
was therefore frustrated.
The public will rejoice to learn that
Mr.. BELL intends TO carry out the wishes
of the President in this matter.

The most quiet election held for years
in this city has passed, and the result is,
that MIR. Morris, loco foco, is elected
Mayor of New York for the ensuing year,
by majority greatly reduced below that
obtained by MIR. Varian at the previous
Spring election.
The probability is that the Tammany
party have been successful in electing a
majority of their candidates for the Com.
mon Council. The Wings, however, have
gained two members in each Of their
Boards. In the first, second, third, fourth,
nth, seventh and fifteenth wards the
wing aldermen and assistants are elected.
In the remaining ten wards the Van Blu
rem members are probably elected.
