tspipg the remains, Their removal to the cemetery
in Richmond vs is in consequence Of the action OF
the Virginia Legislature lsst Winter making an ap-
preparation for it, provided the Governor should deem
it proper and it should meet the appreciation of the
family. Committees were appointed by the Legsla'
ture ard by the citizens of Riohmond, to make AZ
rangemeDts the removal to take place on or about
the 18th day Of July, and Mr. Samuel l.. Gouverneur
Of this CITY, son nlaw Of Mr. Monroe addressed let
ter to Gov Wise in which, for himsef and others OF
the family he consented to the removal but expressed
hope that the affair might be conducted with as little
display as possible being most in conformity with
"our institutions and the simple habits Of life Of the
deceased"
After considerable correspondence, however, the
family consented to public demonstration, which
commenced yesterday.

been heavily daped in Grape secured by large silver
bosses The procession was headed by the list Regi-
ment A portion Of the Sth Regiment followed, pre-
ceded and succeeded by troops Of cavalry from the
Cd Regiment, and few pieces of artillery. Then came

They were followed by carriages containing Messrs
Mumford and Gouverneur, with the lned descendants
of President Monroe and nearly hundred Virginians
resident in or the city, on foot. Then came the
Veterans, many of whom walked with difficulty,
sword in one hand and in the other, and line
Of some fifty or sixty carriages, containing principally
members of the Common Council and their friends.
A vast assemblage Of people thronged Broadway
from 3, o'clock. The windows and sidewalks were
crowded with eager spectators, anticipating pageant
equal to that in honor of the late William Poole or
Officer Anderson. They were disappointed. The pro-
cession was much smaller in numbers than either Of
those; indeed it occupied ess than twenty minutes in
passing.
Minute guns were fired as the procession passed
down Broadway to and around the Park, entering the
space in front of the City Hall from the square be-
fore THE TRIBUNE Office.
On their arrival the troops formed in line the gen.
tlenen in carriages stationed themselves in double
line along the way to the Governors Room, and the
coffin was deposited there without word The pail
bearers formed round it, and stood in silence for mo-
ment. Mayor Temann shook hands with his friends
and tie crowd dispersed, Company of the 9Th
Regiment, being left as a guard Of honor during the
night.
To-day the coffin will be deposited on board OF the
steamer jamestown, which sails for Richmond In the
afternoon. The Ericsson also will leave to-day with
the entire 7th Regiment as a guard of honor. The
steamer Hamlet Lane was offered by the Government
too hate 10 be of service.
