Funeral of wa.hlnglon Ir,lnr.

The funeral OF Mr. Irving took place at Tar
TytOWn on the LIST, and was an occasion long TO
be remembered Business was suspended, the
stores closed and from mauy of the houses
mourning dfapery was hung The bells Of the
churches were tolled, and thousands of people
assembled in and about the Episcopal ChuIeh
where the funeral services took place. AT the
church and grave they were conducted by Rev.
DR.. Creighton, Mr. IviDgs pastor. Many OF
the distinguished citizens Of New York were
present, and the Obseques were solemn and af-
feeting. All were permitted TO take a last look
Of the loved and quiet sleeper.
The spot on which Irving is buried is on the
slope OF beautiful hill, facing the Hudson Riy-
or, overlooking Sleepy Hollow and other plAces,
which touched by his magical pen, will be for
ever famous. As the earth was being cast upon
the coffin, the sun was sinking Immediately in
the view Of the spectators. II was one Of those
glorious sunsets, which arc peculiar TO this
land, aud which are not often seen here. It
was impossible TO avoid associating il with the
beautiiul ending Of the life of tho good and
great man. around whose half-closed grave
hundreds Of mouTDeTs stood with fearful eyes.

Meeting or ConEress--Speaker Of the House
--Tho Impending Crisis.

MeetlnF Of ConHress--SpeRker Of the House
--The Impending Crisis.
Congress convenes to-day, December 5th, and
should the House organize without delay, the
Message Of the President may soon be anticipa-
ted There is little probability, however, that
the House will be organized without severe
and perhaps protracted slrugge, such is the d>
vision Of party strength The Republicans,
including Hickman of Pennsylvania, number
lis, five less than a majority vote, the Demo.
Gratis %, Americans %, scattering 2 This is
the calculation Of the Democratic caucus, and
the Democrats are sanguine that the RepublN
cans cannot increase their votes while they
count on Che coalition of the Americans. The
Republicans are equally confident Of union Of
a portion Of the Americans and some Anti-Le
compton Democrats on the Republican eandi-
date for Speaker, enough to elect.
Mr., Sherman Of Ohio, and Mr Grow, Of Pa,
will be the prominent Republican caucus candi-
dates Mr.. Grow was the caucus nominee OF
the Republicans of the last Congress, and has
many attached personal friends, who, with the
Pennsylvania delegation, will support hun for
the nomination. Mr.. Sherman Is the favoTite
Of Ohio and the Northwest, and a dispatch Of
the list states that New York is solid for MIR. S.,
tho same disposition by the Eastern delega-
tions.
According to The Washington Constitution
the election Of Speaker of the House is the
''impending crisis" 1t announces the disso'u>
ton Of the Union in case Republican Speaker
is elected. 1t declares voting for Republican
officers of tho House to be accessory to John
Browns invasion. This must he SO, for the or
gan of the Administration proclaims the start
ling crisis. 1t speaks by authority its voice is
potent. The Republicans will be just reckless
enough tc Jet the pillars shake and the Gov
eminent rock, and withhold the public printing
sop the Constitution is bowling disunion after.
Give the organ If Buchanan that greed, and the
dissolution Of the Union would be at once post
poned to the next crisis. We go for trying it
on Just now, and on the exact terms the Con.
Atilution feigns 10 be frightened. Read it's in
sans rawlings. which we quote
In such crisis as this, would not the election
Of Black Republican Speaker and other Off
GERS bo justly regarded a declaration Of wal
against the South and an invitation to selve
inaurreciiong We ask further,
whether if, in consequence of such action, in
surrection, or rebellion should appear in any
portion OF the South, would not all who bad
'cooperated through such an organization with
such associates be held properly responsible for
all the consequencesl
We firmly believe that in the impending cri.
sis Black Republican victory in the organiza'
tion OF the House would shake the pillars Of the
