We give very faithful report OF the mournfuy inter
estng proceedings at the Capitol to-day The occasion
was one OF unusual solemnity The many virtues and
fine social qualities OF the departed senator had raised up
for him numerous devoted friends and the suddenness OF
the calamity which has deprived them OF one so much
beloved, aud the republic Of honorable intelligent and
patriotic statesman, gave shock TO all hearts which
rendered the last sad services Of affection and respect pc
culary impressive May the salutas influences which
this melancholy event and the appropriate services OF the
day have excited-and which, hope, by the ihstru-
mentality of columns may be still widely diff
fused-be fruitful and abiding

We have before had frequent occasion to speak OF the
fine taste of talented young friend the artist Acker
man. and we again willingly call public attention to the
very beautiful work which has just been issued from the
press of Carey < Hart 1t assures us OF his onward
progress, for il is decidedly the most beautiful production
that we have OF the whole season. The "Bi-
BILE Gallery" printed in London, embracing the hives
and characteristic portraits OF most OF the principal female
personages OF the Bible, is distinguished by all the
beauties Of the pencil and the graver; but the work OF
Alderman, and the OF Mrs osgood, will defy any
competition which may be made with that elegant publ
cation. II bears the appropriate of The Floral Of
erng" because il embraces poetica description OF the
principal flowers, embeshed with eleven drawings and
colonngs from the superior genius OF Alderman.
The poetry OF Mrs 0sgood lends such charm TO the
loneliness OF the flowers there decaely and faithful
ly delineaed that we are confident this elegant work
cannot fail to please and satisfy all who search for
appropriate gift to present at affairs where taste and love-
Illness enshrined-we mean the ladies' cabinets
This is, indeed, book to charm and sweeten, by its
timely presence the year and happy may they be
