The Funeral soIemnIties.

The ceremonials OF this day, in honor Of the me-
mory of General Jackson, will probably be the most
imposing ever witnessed in this country. New York
has, on several occasions, done pretty well IN the
way of getting up specacles of this descrlpon-the
Lafayette procession, and the funeral OF General
Harrison for instance, but in this instance the dis
play Will be- have every reason TO believe, more
magnificent and striking than any that have prece-
ded il.
The movement of the procession is 10 commence
at the Park al two o'clock and is to be hoped that
the Grand Marshal will punctually put the head OF
the column on march at that time. Then
the vast body viii move up Chatham street TO East
Broadway. along East Broadway to Grand street,
through that wide thoroughfdre TO the Bowery, and
so TO Union square, passing round it, and thence
down Broadway TO the City Hall, in front of which
the closing solemnities will take place. Benjamin
r. Butler, Esq. is TO deliver the Grafton. Mr.. Van
Buren, solicited TO discharge this part OF the
lemnties of the day, but he declined, and thus on
Mr.. Butler the duty has been devolved. We doubt
nothe will be able TO discharge his task-obviously
one OF no little deicacy-ln a creditabe and worthy
manner prayer is to be offered up by DIR. krebs.
an estmable and popular clergyman of The old school
section. Presbyterian church whilst the Rev. DIR
Wainwright will pronounce the benediction.-
Generally speaking. the arrangements have been Iu-
dicious. The military have, perhaps, reason to
complain, as The /" Division and Brigade" orders
call them out at an early hour in the morning,
whilst the late hour subsequently agreed upon as
the period Of commencing the movement of the
bodies forming the procession, rendered this early
summons quite unnecessary. Some dissatisfaction
is also expressed with respect TO the selection Of
marshals and aids II said thai these individuals
are all Of the democratic party. If so, the conduct
of the Committee of Arrangements is certainly
worthy of Reproduction. Certainly the unanimity
and cordially evnced by all the associations in this
city, in taking part in these soemnities, leave any
thing like an exhibition Of partzan feeling such as
that complained Of, altogether without excuse.
To the righthearted men of every party,
the scene to be presented this day will be
full OF interchangeable of high and inspir-
ing feelings, and excitatory of emotions wor-
thy of 1.-THE patriot and the true friend Tof repub-
lican institutions. This day homage will be rem
dered to the and character of ONE OF THE pEo-
PIE, such as has never been given to the crowned
despot whose nod commands the pomp and pa
geantry of power. In another aspect too the obser-
vances and ceremonias OF the day will be interest
ing. The minds of multitudes will thus be forcbly
impressed with sense of the greatness of him
whose death is mourned over. In bold relief the
services, military and civil, of Andrew Jackson
his principles the part he played in the history Of the
young REPUBLICANS character, and claims to respect
and admiration, will stand out before the mental eye
of ALL and this single day will contribute much in
making up that verdict, which history will record as
the judgment of posterty, on the I" Hero of the
Hermitage"
