The intense heat was almost intoerable, yet it did
not keep the anxious crowds, who fiocked from the
adjoining streets, from blocking up the sidewalks at
either side. The appearances OF the procession

appearance OF some festive celebration, than any
thing that attaches to the grave solemnities which
tne procession was designed 70 celebrate. The
crowds on the Streets particularly at this point, be-

worihier manner than by the glorious selection of
