OF solemn requiem by the choir The form

on such occasions was then gone through with
after which the Rev. DIR. Pyne pronounced an
eloquent Grafton on the memory and character of
the distinguished and veDerated hero
The reverend gentleman, after speakin1 of the
hlSh toned and moral character Of Gen. Jesup,
said u could not be expected that on that occa.
sion ne should give even a brief narratiy, of the
events which had rendered the name of their de-
parted friend historical. History told its own
story-end on! what a noble record He could
hot refrain, however, from observing how fruit.

Qualification Of knowing how to govern oue;s
