FUNERAL OF Mr.. BALKAM-The funeral
of the late John A. Balkan, Esq, took place
yesterday afternoon. After prayer at the
house, by his pastor, Rev. g. l.. Walker, the
body was taken to State street Church, where,
Notwithstanding the severe inclemency of the
weather, large number Of his friends had
gathered. The beautiful chant, "Thy will be
done," was given by the quartette Rev. Mr..
Walker then read a portion of the Scriptures,
and followed with an address touching the
character of the deceased. As citizen, said
Mr.. W., he was upright, conscientious and
truthful in all his dealings. No one could say
that he had wronged him. Possessing, to an
eminent degree, q judicial mind, he was en-
abled in the vocation he SO long pursued
deputy Collector Of this port) to settle many
vexed questions which arose out of the bust
ness that came before him. He was highly
benevolent and his bounties were scattered
far and wide. Many house that l have
visited, said Mr.. W., since his death, have
found in tears for their deceased benefactor.
As Christian, he was faithful and earnest.
The pastor and the church would miss him
more than any other one that could be named.
His christian life was followed until he entered
the gates of death, and Christ was with him
In his last hours.
A iervent prayer for the afflicted widow,
connections, friends and the church, followed,
from Rev. DIR. Carruthers. A portion of the
hymn was sung, commencing with
"Unveil thy bosom, faithful tomb"
An opportunity was then given the congre-
CATION to take a last look at the deceased,
whose countenance bore most placid aspect.
The body was then conveyed to its last rest
ing place on earth, in the lot in the Western
Cemetery, which he had selected, where are
deposited some Of his children and connec-
tons. Thus has passed an honest man and
Christian from earth.

they were quietly engaged in transacting their
usual monthly business, they were interrupted
by the entrance Of about fifty of their lady

the occasion will long be remembered by the
