WASHINGTON, Jan. 3, lS43.
The funeral of Mrs. Legare, mother of the Attor-
ney General, took place to-day, and a really melan-
choly, affecting scene it was. All the members of
the Cabinet were there, and Messrs. Upshur, For
ward, WIcklfe, and Webster, acted as pail bear
ers MIR. Spencer also acted as pail bearer. So did
Mr. Calhoun and Mr.. Rives. The President, Gen.
Cass, and Col. Graham were there So were seve-
raj Senators and Members. Mr. and Mrs, Robert
Tyler, Mrs. Wickliffe and daughter, and about
twenty other ladies were among the mourners-
She was buried in the Congressional burying
ground. The remarks Of the Presbyterian clergy
man, the shortness of le though of course uniii-
territorial, were peculiarly applicable to the case OF
young Spencer, and Mr.. Spencer was deeply affect

BisHoP HUGHES LECTURE LAST EVENING AT THE
TABERNAcIK-The spacious Tabernacle was crowd
ed last evening at an early hour, and bv the time
the night Reverend Prelate was ready to COM
mence his lecture, great numbers had come and
gone who could not gain even admittance, much
less seats
When he did at last arrive he was greeted most
enthusiastically with three rounds Of cheers
The bishops subject was "The Influence of
Civilization" He commenced with eulogy upon
Christianity. To Christianity he attributed all the
blessings and advantages incidental to modern
civilization. He drew a vivid picture Of Pagan
Rome-then OF Rome under Constantine, greatly
lnproved-then of Rome deluged with those
northern hordes of Goths, Vandals and freebooters
In lmparing instruction to whom by the church,
sprung up the first union of Church and State If
the church was ever found in the councils of the
state, It was to give instruction
He next pronounced eulogy upon the monastc
institutions. The monks were the only persons
who built the bridge between ancient and modern
civilization, inasmuch as il Is to them we are in
debed, in the way of copying books, for all we
know of the anclents
He then passed on to the dark ages-the days of
chivalry-the establishment of hospals-the crusa-
ders, to whom western Europe is indebted for civil
lizatioa.
Next came the feuda tmes-the serfs then the
age when literature sprang up at Paris, Padua, Ok
ford, Cambridge, &C.. unto the thirteenth century
TO Christianity also the world is indebted for its
deberave assemblies its jurisprudence, its juries,
Its parllaments, &c. To the church also archtec-
ture is indebted for all those noble plies of cahe-
drals, minister's, &C., called gothic, but more pro-
pery they should be called Christian. He ques-
toned whether there now can be found science
enough to take them down, much more to build
them. He next discussed the arts and sciences,
music, painting, &C., for which the world is also
Indebted to the church. He even traced railroads,
hotels, steamboats,, post Offices, &c. to the same
source under the influence of the spirit Emissions
British commerce is just now knocking for admit
lance upon the frontiers of China while the French
missionaries have already been in the heart of the
same country for more than 200 years. In short,
every thing that is valuable with us can be threaded
up to christianity. The elevation of woman also
is to be attributed to christianity. He then alluded
to the Reformation by Luther, and the division of
the religious sentiment, by which he thought civi.
llzatlon has received shock from which it has
never since recovered. Before that time, Spain
was free country. Not so since. 1t was the
time, it is very manifest that more is thought of
money than OF the man. Letter writers, writing to
thus country or from it, are prone to speak of the
wealth of the people, more than of their mental
qualifications

OVERWHELMING crowds AT THE PARK HRATRE
OPENING OF WELsH's OLYMPIC CIRcUs-THE
LEGITIMATE DRAMA AT LAST WITH REAL HORSES
This is positively the most amusing and most inte-
resting age Of the world, whether Prophet Joe
MILLER be right or wrong in his millennium calcula-
lions Last evening the Park Theatre was cram
meu from top to bottom, as much ever the
rrst nights OF Fanny Elssler's were. We have not
seen such crowd in long time And then the
enjoyment OF the audience-such vociferous ap-
plause--such thunders Of extacy, as each new
| phase IN the performances the horses. men. wo-
| men and boys, made it's appearance. The very
horses seemed to enjoy the scene They jumped,
and leaped, and caracoled with spirit that was
perfectly new.
This must be ut last the regular Olympic classical
drama, as it existed in glorious Greece if we are to
Judge by the crowds, enthusiasm, extacy, fun, life,
amusement and general enjoyment Welsh is a
perfect Napoleon in his line.

And watched how grew each featare's mould,
And saw their little buds unfold,

THE. STORM.
Swiftly DER the mighty ocean
GIiges the bafqac from Inda's shore;
Hearts are full with fond emotion
Friends, they part to meet no more.
Signs are uttered--fareweils spoken
Loves first tender VOWS are broken;
Blu, British homes aud British Isles
Ilumine every brow with smiles.
Gaily now the vessel riding,
Born and Graded on each wave;
Anxious fears and doubts subsidins--
God they feel His power TO save.
No fearful eye--no gaze Of sorrow-
All hearts are full with-''home tomorrow !
And love aud JOY bsdeck each brow,
For "England!'' is the waich-wofd now.
The infant slumbers on its mothers breast,
Rocked by the rising blast;
She fondly gazes on its tranquil rest, :.
Nor dreams it is-the last.
(. Bot bark. what means the. oceans moan!
The furious eeze!---the boiling foam?
And now that crash .--Oh, God. 'tis he
The Stom.-the giant of the sea!
The inward prayer
And. deep despair,
Tie parent wild
The clinsing child!
And home--sweet home;
A watery grave
Great God on save.
But ali. how still; not cen the echoing blast
Bears on its breeze the record ofthe past;
Blu, chIldless halls and widowed homes
'Engrave the wreck on living stones.
Britain! we ask--we claim from thee,
Thy never failing sympathy.
