The wcbster ob.equles In Wilmington.

Notwithstanding the rain and the unpleasant state
weather generally learn that the funeral pro-
cession in honor of Mr.. Webster, formed at the
appointed time and place. under the direction of the
Chief Marshall, Col VIM. C. Howard. assisted by
Dr. Peter NJ. Walker, Col. T. C. McIlhenny and
Col John Cowan. and marched from thence to the
Presbyterian Church along the route indicated in
the programme, where Eulogy upon the life and
character of the lustrious deceased was delivered
by Robert H. Cowan, Esq. Unfortunately. were
unable to attend and therefore deprived of the
pleasure of listening to Mr. Cowan's able effort. We
have, however heard number of gentlemen who
preeentspeak the address in terms of the high
praise. The church, We learn, crowded by Ia
dies and gentlemen, who came out undetered by the
rain the inclement weather.
The bells Of the different churches were tolled-
the various flags about town. and upon the shipping
in port displayed at half-mast and in mourn
ing-some two stores were also draped in
mourning. A national salute of thirty-one guns was
fired at sunrise and sunset and single guns at inter-
walls during the day. We have heard of no accident
and take it for granted that everything went of
smoothly, as it always does under the direction of
Chief Marshall Howard, who, presume, was
charged with most of the arrangements.
Os-Thanksgiving was very generally observed here,
by cessation from business throughout the day, and
the celebration of divine worship in most, if not all the
churches, in the forenoon.
NB~Tt raned yesterday, and we must confess that
we did feel sorry We ought to have done, con-
sidering the damper it must have proved to the
joyments of the day, and the cold water it threw
upon the Webster procession. But to tell the truth
and shame the devil we were unable to get out
self and it gave sort of pleasure to think that
we were not the only sufferer. Misery does love
company.

~ frame of mind. 1t is not every one who can en-
dure pain with the unrufied complacency of the
Quaker who merely said, when his throat was being
cut rather roughly" Friend, thee dost haggle."-
But still there is nothing like being cool and con-
tented as you can, with burning fever on-rather
hard work though, we will venture to say. We
should be happy to change for while with anybo-
dy ambitious of trying the experiment. We are
fully satisfied and willing to sell out.
STILL there worse things than fevers. They
have their agreeable alterations, like the climate Of
Scotland, described to Doctor Johnson. It was
raining furiousy, when the Doctor put the question
