The procession moved down Twentieth street towards Holmead’s burying ground, the side- walks being densely crowded with tors as well as the windows and baleonies of houses on the lineof march. Standing on the brow of the bill at the corner of Twentieth and I streets, and viewing the long drawn out pro- cession as it extended down the hill, along the hollow, and up the rising ground in the vi- einity of the burying ground, it presented a nd and imposing spectacle, and one that will not be soon forgotten by those who were present. Arrived at the grave, the affecting and sclemn service was read, and there was searce a dry eye in the assemblage as the widow and her children took their last ago- nized farewell of the remains of the dear de- parted. ‘ We take this occasion to call attention to the particularly destitute condition of this afflicted family, through thissudden depriva tion, and to hope that the widow and children of one who died in the service of the public, will not be suffered to want bread The excellent order maintained yesterday, and the systematic manner in which the or- der of ceremonies was carried out reflects the highest credit upon the firemen and all con- cerned.

De xa Rocae, In behalf of Dela Roche & Nenning, the architects Wasuixetos, March 12, 1856 We very cheerfully give place to the above, having no disposition to do injustice to the architects, who are gentlemen of known high character and ability, and whose statement should have weight accordingly. Since the appearance of the article complained of, we have taken psins to make further inquiry in rd to the matter. To our eye the wall looks slight, but those who are bett up in such matters say that qui aa the ordinary run of modern-built brick houses; if so, we think the sooner we go back to the thick old-fogy built brick walls the better.
