HoNoRs TO THE MEMORY OF GEN JACKSON.

Funeral ceremonies in honor of Gen. JACKSON
have been celebrated in most OF the cities Of the
Union, and, so far as we have observed, have been
separated much as possible from party politics.
In addition 10 those heretofore noticed, we have
space only for the following:
AT Richmond, Virginia, the celebration took place
on Saturday. The procession was composed OF
the military companies the authorities Of the State
and City Corporation, and large body of citizens,
who marched TO the old Baptist Church, where a
eulogy on the life and services of Gen. Jackson
was delivered before large and respectable audience
by the Hon. ANDREW STEVENSON. The stores
were mostly closed, and business generally was
suspended
Tuesday was the day set apart for the ceremo-
MES at Baltimore, where, the weather being prop-
tlous, there was very effective display of the mill
tary and civil associations, forming altogether a
solemn and imposing pageant. Conspicuous among
the other associations was that Of the Defenders,
being the remnant of those who fought in defence Of
Baltimore during the last war. The Odd-Fellows
and the Fire Department are also specially men,
toned as having made handsome display. Bust
ness was suspended, the houses on the streets along
the line OF the procession were hung in mourning,
and the avenues through which it passed were
crowded with people. The eulogy was delivered
at " Mount Vernon" by the Hon. BENJAMIN G..
Howard.
Our neghbors Of Georgetown also had their ceIe-.
brationon Tuesday, which, represented to US, or
we did not witness it, was quite credtable dis
play, considering the size of the town, and gave
very general satisfaction to the citizens. The Pre-
sdent of the United States and other high function
aries Of the Government, besides many of the gen
demen attached to the Public Departments, partici-
pated in the ceremonies. The eulogy was pro-
nounced by GEORGE w. p. CusTIs, Esq
At New Orleans, on the 26th utimo, there was
very general celebration, and two eulogies were de-
livered-one in the English language by GEORGE
EusTIs, and the other in French by BERNARD Ma
RIGNY. The subjoined list embraces the names of
the Orators in the principal cities:

The editor of the New York ss.4lbion," after re-

to Lord John Russels resolutions, ENGRAVING there
on a proposition respecting the extension Of Par
lanentary suffrage. This amendment (which was
rejected by large majority had no reference
whatever to the leading topics of debate, and
therefore, we did not notice it.
