BALTIMORE Sunday, April PIP. NJ.
The funeral services at the Cathedral yester
day morning, over the remains Of the late Arch
bishop Eccleston, were witnessed by the largest
congregation ever assembled within that edlhce
hundreds blocking up the yard and streets out
side, being unable to obtain admittance. The
ceremonies were in the highest degree imposing
and solemn, and occupied four hours. There is
great speculation a. to bis probable successor,
who is selected by the Clergy OF the Diocese; )
but AZ the selection is subject to the approval or
rejection OF the Pope, it will be some time before
the matter ia definitely settled. Rev. Mr.. Cos
kerry. who has been for many years attached TO
the Cathedral, is much spoken OF and would
make a popular and able Archbishop. Few &C.
clesiastics 10 any community possess the same
rneritorious qualifications for the Important post

ado1ted setting forth their condition in the State
and the impossibility Of the colored race ever at
tanning civic aud political rights in any portion OF
the Union-that the spirit OF the institutions OF
the United States forbid any such hope, and that
it would be better for the free people TO emlgrae
to the home OF their ancestors. They also re
solved TO send out two agents to Liberia, who

colonies on the Coast of Africa, and return and
report their truthful views of the prospects for

Ter, were selected as tie agents, and will sail in
the next packet TO accomplish their mission. II
