The Special Train which conveyed Mr.. Adam's

The Procession was formed in the order stated
in the p-oeramme published yesterday, except

sion. troop of horses. passed 3l2 Broadway at
ten minutes past four and the rear OF the last d'
vision came up at eighteen minutes past hve so
that it occupied an hour and eight minutes IN pass
ing that point.
So crowded were the streets, that 1t was WIN
difficulty any one could pass along Broadway after
3 o'clock and the Bowery exhibited specimen Of
the vastness Of the population Of this metropolis
II seemed to this reporter, that in or viewing the
procession there were more than one hundred thou
sand persons for the people turned out en- mdsse
Vet Il is difficult 10 come near true estimate in such
cases Let Il suffice 10 say that there were more az
tendans on or Of Mr. Adsmss faneracar yes

York, Boston. Philadelphia, Brooklyn, Baltimore and
Washington on the day ofhs birth SO crowded was the
MuseuDs tina, the writer could not fnd place from

The evening wss warm and pleasant, the sun shons
resplendenty and the Heavens were without cloud
The Infinitely varied costumes Of the military. well
equipped and disciplined army Of horse foot and artillery
reminded the writer Of the appearance made by the es ms
Of Austria Russia Prussia England, &c when they held
possession Of France than 80 years ago. except that
the latter looked somewhat weather beaten while every
sash epsulette and accouement Of the former, Ike the
men themselves bore smell traces Of hard service They
were such men as the elder Adams Washington would
have been glad to have here in May, 70
The stores were very generally closed and every posi-
bic token of respect was paid to the memory Of the de-
psred chief Of the Republic who. born coloDis IN The
,roublous times Of the stamp act. had witnessed the
American French and Dutch revolutions had seen the
rise and fall of Napoleon and taken active and bene
acla part in the affairs OF his native and much beloved
country from the time when its population was scarce
three millions until II BECAME mighty and powerful
nation OF twenty millions.

sodierllke appearance and formed striking emblem Of
the power Of the Republic. There were some ten OF
twelve bands Of music, playing the Dead Msreh-ien or

propratey caparsoned. on inquiry, we find that the ar
