COMPANIES, the manufacturers, and the ladies, but
il is hardly as agreeable news for the owners Of

considerable embarrassment has been experienced

churches was determined upon in a more primitive
state of society than the present. when seat for
six would hold six. Awhile ago. it was found
they would hold but five. and at present 10 force

as elsewhere, and it seems infringement Of their
rights for them to be nvelnped, whenever they

DEFERRED ITEMS.

REMOVAL OF Ex-PREsIDENr MuNReE's Re
MAIss.-The legislature of Virginia, at its last
session, passed ali act appropriating two thous-
and dollars for the purpose Of defraying the
necessary expenses of removing, in a suitable
manner. the remains of ex.President James
Munroc from the city Of New York to that of
Richmond. However natural the desire Of
the " Mother of Presidents" to endow her soil
with the dust of one Of her most eminent sons,
no reason for so doing is stated in the act nc
alusion is made to the distinguished services
Mr.. Mnnroe rendered his country In the field
aud at the council-board, as q soldier, diploma
fist and statesman. The act simply appropri
ates the SUN above mentioned for the removal
of his remains, provided the family Or living
representatives Of Mr.. Monroe consent to the
removal.
Il, compliance with the act, we understand
that the Governor and Secretary of State o.
Virginia have carried on some correspondence
to discover If Mr.. Munroe left any heirs, and
who they arc. Mr.. Mumferd, Secretary Of
State, suppesing, naturally enough, that Mr.
James Munree, of New York, was the repre-.
sentative of the late ex-President, addressed
him letter, asking his consent to the proposed
removal.
President Muroe Eeft two daughters. Ono
married Judge Hay, Of Viryinia, who left a
daughter, who died at an early age. Maria,
the other and younger daughter of Col. Mum
roe, married Samuel L. Gouverneur, su5Se
quently Postmaster Of New York. She died
but few years since, after welcoming home
her only son from the Mexican war, for gallant
conduct in which he had been brevettcd and
complimented. At the expiration Of the war
this gentleman Samuel l.. Gouverneur) re
signed his commission, aud is now a subordinate
clerk in the Treasury Department in this city
We doubt not that, the authorities Of Viz
giuia once made aware of the necessary infor
n,ation, there will be little further delay in car
rying out the thoughtful desire Of the legisla
ture.
Tn this connection we may also add, that the
patriot was buried with distinguished military
and gothcr suitable honors, at the expense OF
the city Of New York. And it might there
fore be proper courtesy for the authorities Of
Virginia to consult the city fathers" of New
York in regard to the necessary steps, the
time, and mode Of transferring from the Empire

of the subscriber during twenty years past has
bled him to accumulate vast collection of specif
