 After the rites of sepulchre had been per formed at the grave yard the procession took leave of the m0urncrs and friends of the de- ceased at the gate ot the yard sand thus en- ded the solemn and affecting ceremonies ot the occasion. Though the body ot our ven- erabIe citizen now reposes in the earth, his memory will long live in the hearts of mill lions of his countrymen.-P Palladium.
 LUCK BY THE WAY.-A young lawyer of this city, possessing talent in his profession, but little pecuniary ability to start him swim mingly into life, by one of those singular chances which are as rare as they are for tunate, has suddenly, as we learn, become the possessor of large estate, the attain ment of which is indeed remarkable. The gentleman is well known in the community, and especially in the meridian of Court street. Two years since, this same indivd. uai was indebted to the liberal generosity of one whose munificence is we'll known to the C., professional career, without which he proba- bly would never have realized the following lucky turn of fortune. Our young barrister was established in comfortable office, by the aid of his wealthy benefactor, and grad ualy attaining degree of notoriety, he soon began to number his clients with no little satisfaction. One day, which seems to have been marked in his calendar as especially propitious and smiling, a laboring lrishman entered his office to consult with him upon particular business, for which he had been refused the advice of other professional gen. tlemen. Perusing the necessary details, he drew from his pocket sundry documents un- connected with the original matter in refer ence, which, exciting the attention of the lawyer, proved to be certificates of deposte for large sum of money in the bank of Dublin, the value of which was previously unknown to the owner.
 This appearance of things, naturally G. nough attracting professional observation, an examination was subsequently, instituted, which resulted in the fact that property to the amount of f60O00 had been deposited to the credit of the hitherto poor laborer in the bank, and of establishing his title also to large landed estate in Olio, which was val ued at $l,7OO,OOO and bequeathed to the l. 
 relative. The gratitude and generosity of the Hibernian nation is we'll known; but, with a iberaliy which is not generally manifes- ted, except in cases of sudden and uneXpec- ted acceS sion to fortune, the now wealthy cli- ent insisted upon reiinquishing all claim to the landed property of which he had become possessed in favor of his lawyer, reserving to himself only the personal estate-in itself a fortune. The money has in part been withdrawn from the Bank of Dublin, and we understand that $ l5,00O came out to this country in one of the late stea mers, the" re. moval of the deposits probably being in fa- vor of some one of our American banks. It is stated that this matter ~hich naS resulted so fortunately, has been in process of settle- ment for several months, the lawyer himself having journied 10 the Fl Dorado of the West in prosecution of the special business of his generous client, and having returned with a portion of the incomes derived from the large property there held in posse ssion.

 THE AMERICAN BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS FOR FOREIGN MISSIONS held its annual meet ing in the Park street Church, on Thursday evening, at 7l-2 o'clock; Rev. Dr. Hum- phrey, President of Amherst College, in the chair.
 The exercises of the evening were com- menced by singing the following hymn :--
 Look down, o Go9 with pitying eye,
 And view the desoatons round;
 See what wide realms in darkness lie,
 What scenes of wo and crime abound Y!
 Loud let the gospel trumpet blow,
 And call the nations from afar;
 Let all the isles their Saviour know,
 And earth's remotest ends draw near.
 Prayer was then offered by the Rev. Dr. Humphrey. Rev. Dr. Anderson, of Boston, one of the Secretaries of the Board, read a brief abstract of the report. The expendi- tures for the coming year were estimated at $265,000-possibly the Board might bring them down to $255,O00. The expences are already S35,OOO in advance of the receipts. The report concludes by stating the great aspects under which the cause of missions were viewed. and gave the following reasons why they should receive the support of the christian community. lst, Popery, which has slumbered for ages, is now awakening in all its power, is vigorously endeavoring to secure the waste places of the earth, to op- pose. and if possible 10 destroy, the efforts of evangelical missions 2d, The evangelical world was opening beyond all previous ex- ample to receive the gospel of God.
