BALTIMORE, JuIye-5 p. m.
The reception in Baltimore last evening of the
remains Of Henry Clay was truly worthy Of the
Monumental city--of the principal city of State
that has adhered to him in all ihephases Of his for
tunes and his life, and regarded him the guild
ing star of her political destiny. To witness such
afuniversal, though tardy, acknowledgement of the
patriotism and unapproachable public service of
the iilusrious patriot, by his political opponents,
was truly grateful to those who always regarded
him - whose like shall neer see
again." but this feeling was mingled with regret
that civil services greater than those of any other
living man should not have secured 10 him the
title Of President Of the United States But, aide by
side with Washington, he will live in the memory
Of his countrymen of future generations. whilst
those who have reviled and traduced him will only
be remembered for the infamy Of the act
The remains were met at the Mount Clare depot
by large civic and military procession, and being
placed on elegant funeral car were conveyed
through Baltimore street, which was thronged by
of thousands of spectators, whils every house
was decorated with embems of mourning. The
spectacle was mournfuly grand. and drew tears
from the eyes of thousands.
On reaching the Exchange the remains were de-
posted n splendid cenotaph erected in the ecu
tire Of the rotundo, the walls and pillars Of which
hung in mourning. They were visited by thou
sands during the evening, remaining in possession
OF the Independent Grcye, who had volunteered
their services as guard Of honor. At O'Clock
this morning the plate covering the face was re-
moved, and for two hours the concourse Of specta-
tors were allowed to pass in liucs either side,
and take last view of his revered features, which
though in most perfect state of preservation, were
emaciated to such a degree scarcely to be
cognizable by those most intimate with them.
At half past ten o'clock the remains were again
deposited the funeral cal and conveyed, accom-
panied by large civil and military escort TO the
President street depot, and deposited in car pre-
pared for the purpose, which at eleven o'clock &C
