has been published before, which differs
from the above.
The names OF the seamcn who landed

The Funeral Of Judge Woodbury.
The funeral Of the late Hon. Levi
Woodbury. took place at Portsmouth, N.
H., yesterday, and was an occasion of
extraordinary interest in that ancient
town. A friend who was present in
forms us that large number Of people
came in from the surrounding towns to
witness the solemn ceremonies and tes-
lily their respect to the distinguished
deceased, and among the strangers ma
ny were observed from Boston. All the
bells Of the city were tolled the men,
bers Of the city government attended
the funeral the Portsmouth, Bar were
present in bady also the officers Of
the Army and Navy station, dressed in
uniform, &C., &C., as among the tributes
of respect shown.
AT an early hour in the afternoon, the
mayor Of the city with depuiation Of
gentlemen chosen to officiate as pail
bearers, proceeded in a train Of carria-
ges TO the mansion of the deceased, in
the environs oi the city, and from thence
escorted the membars of the family pres
en- to st. Johns Church, where the SER
vices were held at half past 2 o'clock, in
presence Of densely crowded congre-
gGtion. The remains, which were on
the day succeeding death deposited in
the receiving tomb under the church,
were brought in, when tho solemn fun.
eraI rites af the Episcopal Church were
performed by Rev. T. r. Lambert, IN
the absence Of the rector, assisted by
Rev. Mr.. Childs, the assistant rector
The services were very appropriate and
impressive, and found q heartfelt res
ponse in the large audience who wit
messed them.
After the ceremoies, the body was
escorted back to the receiving tomb,
there to await such disposition as may
be determined on by the family. We
understand that such rapid decomposi-
ton had takcn-place, owing to the heat
of,he weather and the peculiar disease,
that the corpse was not in fit condition
for public view.
Among the pail bearers were recog-
nized Mayor Laig hton, DR.. Charles A.
Checver physician to the deceased,
Hon. lachabod Bartlett, Gen. Gushing,
Of Newburyport, Professor Parker of
Cambridge, Hon. Richard Jeuness,
Commodore Slorer ol the Naval station,
Col. Dimmock of Fort Constitution, and
other distinguished gentlemen.

A CURIOUS CoNsciENcE.-A wealthy
planter Of one oi the South Western
States, returning from the North last
autumn, took with him from New Eng
land :wo young men to labsr for him as
mechanics. One of them was profess
sor Of religion. The planter, (who,
though not a professor Of religion, ,s a
respecter and supporter of its ordinan-
ces), observed after a few weeks, that
this ytung man, instead Of attending
church with the family, and otherwise
demeaning himself as pious person,
wandered of on the Sabbath. On in
quiry he found that he was beginning
to learn to play cards. and to drink ar
dent spirits. One Sabbath afternoon,
he called him to come into his library,
and expostulated with him as TO his
course. The young man replied that no
person but his employer knew that he
was a professor freligion; that when
he came 10 the South he thought il best
not TO appear as such, to avoid remark,
and as he had, on leaving New Eng.
land, been told by his minister that It
was contrary to the rules Of his church
for its members to commu re with slave
holders, he had not sought connection
with the church
Here is a genuine illustration Of the
power Of error, and the fruit oil unsound
instruction. A New England professor
Of religion could not commune with
Shareholders, but he could and did drink
ardent spirits, stay away from church,
and play cards on the Sabbath. He
was afraid Of being choked with knat,
but he had no trouble in swallowing a
m onsuous esmel.-Mp York Obserr0.

We have received the following ac-
count of the battle in which Gen. Emma
was mortally wounded, from our cor.
respondent nt Havana.
The battle was fought on the coffee
plantations formerly owned by Gen.
Lopez's wife.
The Spanish troops were drawn up in
tive columns, and at first refused to ad-
vance upon the patriots, who lined the
fences in the vicinity. ..
Gen. Emma there took thirty GAIA
dors and charged upon the patriots,
who succeeded in killing every one Of
their assailants, With the exception Of
an aide de-camp. In the charge, Gener-
al Emma was mortally wounded.
After the fall Of Gen. Emma, Gen. Ro-
sales collected together five hundred Of
the Spanish troops and fed, leaving
seventy wounded upon the field Of nc
ton.
Gen. Rosales was to he superseded
for cowardicc, by General PAWS Of Ma

that Lopez had but one hundred and
