The FUNERAL OBsEQUIEs OF ADMIRAL
FARRAGUT IN NEW YoRK.-The remains of
Admiral Farragut arrived on the Fall River
steamer Bristol at an early hour Friday and
were removed on a tug to the Brooklyn Ma
Wy Yard, where they were received by the ma
val officers in charge. At half-past ten the
tug, with the remains on board, accompanied
by detachment of marines and naval officers
from the yard, proceeded to the pier at the
foot of Canal street, North river, where the
procession and escort were in waiting. The
remains were landed amid thunderous sa-
lutte of the guns. and the funeral cortege'
forming at once, proceeded on the march up
Broadway IN the face furious easterly storm,
which began about ten o'clock and continued,
without cessation during the whole time of the
ceremoL les. The United States Marine Band
from the Brooklyn Navy Yard had the head
of the column, ana was followed by reei-
ment of the second division as guard of hon
or to the great Admiral's remains. The coffin,
covered with a heavy pail bearing the name
of Farragut, in large gold letters, on either
side, and the United States flag above, was
carried on the shoulders of eight sailors, who
formerly served under Farragut. The Ad
miral's secretary, and members of his family
as mourners came next, in carriages. and
were followed by a company of about thirty
| soldiers in uniform, and civilians, who former
| ~ served under the Admiral, long lines of
carriages containing President Grant, men,
beers OF the Cabinet, United States civil Off
| cels, and the municipal and civic authorities,
| with delegations from other cities, and dis
tinguished guests, including officers Of the
French corvettes in the harbor, the cOnsuls
i for foreign governments residing in New York

| Common Councils of boston, Brooklyn, and
nearly all the municipal authorities of New

| file was very long, but as all were closed, the
| waiting thousands failed to get view OF the
DISTINGUISHED occupants. The troops OF the
National Guard, the first and second divisions
of which had been under arms all the morn
ing in a drenching rain, wheeled intt
column as The rear OF the procession
passed, and the spectacle passed vi
Filth Avenue was very grand and i'm
posing. The force of troops unde
under arms has rarely been exceeded in thu
city, and the front oil the regiment drawn uI
in line of battle extended from the foot of Ca
nal street up Broadway nearly to Uniol
square. All the prominent buildings on thu
line of the procession were suitable draped
though full decoration Of the larger edifice
was prevented by the rain. Portraits Of tn
Admira! wreathed in Grape and surrounded
by appropriate notices were numerous. TIL

up Fifth avenue to Harlem depot, where tn,
funeral train in waiting bore the remains anC
escort to Woodlawn Cemetery, the place O
its final interment Thousands OF spectator
lined the streets as the cortege passed, an,
the denomination, though seriously hinderet
by TIE storm, was fully carried out, in accor
ance with the previous arrangements.
