New YORK would be nothing with.
out sensations and now it has its fill.
The murder of Fisk with its attendant
excitements, has been a sweet morsel
for the delectation and curiosity of that
city. But, as if to Guido any of its pre-
vious efforts, the last honors paid to the
omnivorous fnancier transcends all

geant which illustrated the obscquies
of the Hon. William Poole, some years
ago, was immeasurably eclipsed by this
grand manifestation of public grief,
which followed the immortal Fisk re

martial law was more necessary, and unless
