BURIAL OF THE LATE MRS. TYLER

The return to Washington OF some OF the
gentlemen who attended the mortal remains OF
the late Mrs. TYLER TO their place OF inlerment,
has given us an opportunity of learning the in
cidenls of their melancholy journey.
OF the circumstances connected with The de-
parlure of the funeral procession on Tuesday
last, our readers have been before apprised.-
When il approached within three miles OF
Fredericksburg, it was met, though the heat
of the weather and the dust of the roads
were excessive, by large concourse of gen
tlemen Of that place, and by citizens In
carriages, who attended its progress to the rail
road depot. At the bridge leading into the
town the procession was joined by citizens on
foot, and on entering the town by the citizens
in mass. The streets were literally filed with
human beings, whose countenances bore witness
TO their sympathy with the Chief Magistrate OF
the nation in his heavy affection, and TO their
venerarion for the memory of her whose excel
lence many had known and all had heard of.
The tolling of the bells commenced as the pro-
c.ssion entered the town, and continued till the
corpse was transferred to the railroad car.
The proce ssion reached Richmond about five
O'Clock, P. NJ, and was there met by similar
manifestations of public grief and respect. A
synparhysi multitude Supposed TO be about
flu thousand persons) received the copse a,
The depot, and, 10 conformity with arrangement
previously made, a,ten~ed it, amid the lollng
Of bells, 10 the Powhatan House. 'Thi,
place was, for rea IONS Of convenience, selected
in preference 10 the Government house, and to
the Monumental Church, each Of which had
been rendered for the purpose. Governor GRE
CORY, and other distinguished citizens of Rich
,nond, and old personal friends of the Presi-
d,nr, remained for brief interval to offer TO
him their heartfelt coincidence.
AT A O'Clock. A. NJ, on Wednesday, the
hour fixed for the resumption of the jour
ney, tie bells Of Richmond began again to
toll and amid their mournful sounds,-lhat
music Of the dead the procession left
the city for Cedar Grove, now the re-
sdence of Dr.. FLEMING CuRis IAN, bro
Their of the deceased. This seat, in New
Kent county, about twenty five miles from
Richmond, was reached about noon. In one
hour atterward, all oil the deceased that can die,
was consigned to its Ia long rest surrounded by
the tombs of her ancestors The tears of sor-
rowing kindred, neighbors and friends, fell up
on the henored grave OF her who was best loved
where she had been longest known. All seemed
to feel ,hatf the surprising loneliness of her
earlier years, or the high and fast advancing
honors which it was her lot afterwards to grace
ever excited envy. that envy had been
disarmed by the Christian meekness of her spi-
rit; and by her devotion, jealous as it was un.
ob,rusive, to every duty, domestic, social or re-
ligious
The PRESIDENT has, it is understood, given
dir, clions for the erection of monument to
Mrs. TYLrR's memory. In the hearts of heI
survivors a nnnn.-..-.. -rrauy exists more hon
orable, more affecting, more eloquent, than mar
Bile. May the remembrance of her pure and
pious life impart TO her grief-slricken husband
that solace which he needs so much, but which
the agitating honors OF power and greatness
can never yield.
