The Maryland Legislature appeared in orr
gdalization, with their several officers with
their maces, &c. This patriotic body did not
arrive in time to go into the Presidents Mansion,
but the moment their arrival was known, a Mar
shall was despatched to assign them position I'M
the processlon.)
The heads of Bureaux, and their clerks, ap-|
peared also, forming very considerable body
in point of numbers. There were also number
ofthe officers and soldiers who served under the!
command Of General Harrisol during the last
war, whose names we did not learn. There,
were also the corporate authorities Of the several
cities Of the District. The Enosinian Society
Of Columbian College, together with the Medi !
cal Department and Preparatory School. The
Columbia Typographical Association. The
Society Of Odd Fellows" with the handsome
banner Of Alexandria Lodge, No 81 The
CathoIic Total AhssseeDSe Snciefy-. with. W
auxiliaries, with medals and banners. There
may have been other associations whose names
we did not learn. The concourse Of citi-
zens and strangers from Baltimore, and the sur
pounding country, was large and respectable. All
moved in perfect order, harmony and decorum,
evincing at every step the solemn sadness Of the
occasion, and betraying the sinserest affection
for the memory of their late illustrious Chief
Magistrate. #H ,
Minute guns were firing, and the bells tolling
during the whole progress of the Procession.
The windows and doors of the dwellings along
the darkened avenues, We're crowded with the
faces of ladies and children, all appearing to par
ticipate in the general sorrow. This metropolis
has never witnessed scene so solemn and i'm
posing.
The procession extended nearly two miles,
reaching from the Capitol to the Presidents
House, in sections of 8 to 80. ~
The Military formed into lines on the square
opposite the Congressional Burying Ground,
and only portion of the procession entered the
yard. We observed at the tomb, beside the ia
mily, President Tyler and the Cabinet, the Fo-
reign Ministers, Ex-President Adams, and seve-
raj of the late Cabinet. After the service, con-
tinued in the Episcopal form, by Rev. Mr.. Haw-
ley, the corpse was deposited in the Public
Tomb, where it was followed for moment by
Colonies Todd and Chambers, the relatives,
President Tyler, the members of the Cabinet,
Mr.. Adams, Mr.. Forsyth, and others. These
last rites being over, the scene was closed by the
firing of cannon, and several volies of musketry.
The immense throng then quietly dispersed, and
a Federal Salute announced the setting Of the
sun, and the closing ceremony Of the day. We
heard Of no indecorum--no serious accident
