At eleven o'clock the invited personage began to arrive. a body of about sixty cler; men from Ail parts of the country being first to enjer. There being an interval of a few ininufes between the arrivals, and thus no contusion whatever was occasioned. ‘The proper officers were in attendance to ass ail to their appropriate places in the room— Heacs of Government Bureaus, Governora of States, Members of municipal governments, Tominent officers of the army and navy, the Diplomatic Corps in full costume mbers ot the Christian Commission, the Union Leagne Commitiers of Philadelphia and New York, merehants of the principal cities, members of both Honses of Congress. nd others, The were honored representatives holding the bighe ia} stations from all parts of our ry and from foreign lands: and, under the circumstances of the assassination of a President whose body lay before them, the scene was solemnly grand and tmpres- sive. At noon the President of the United States entered in compa: all of whom were pr Seward. Mrs. Lincoin did not enter the East Room, being too ill from nervous prostration and an incipient fever, brought on by the awful ex- citement and sorrow to which she has been subjected. The mourners present were the twe sons of Mr. Lincoln, Master Thadeus and Robert Lin- oln, Esq ,Mr J.G. Nicolay, the President's Coutidentia! Secretary, and his colleague, Major John Hay, Mr. M.

The expected delegation from Springfield did not arriye in time to take part im the cere- monies, and a3 with them were expected many of Mr. Lincoln’s immediate relatives, their failure toarrivecaused much disappomtment.

Dr. Gurle © pronounced the funeral ad- dress, and Dr. Gray, Chaplain of the Senate, who closed the servicesin the Exet Room with 8 sbort, fervent, and eloquent prayer. All the representatives of foreign govern- ments, ambassadors, secretaries, and attaches were present, in fnll court costame, and their high collared and heavy gilt coats, their vests decorated with,yarious orders, rendered them aglittering group in an assemblage dressed in sombre black. President Johnson approached the cata. fa)que and toek & last brief look at his illu: trious predecessor and then retired toa posi- tion immediately on the east, and in full view of the coffined remains-in his front. At ten minutes past twelve, amid profound silence, the Rev. Dr Gurley, approaching the head of the catafalque, announced the order of reli- gious seryices, when the Rey. Dr. Hall, from the same point, read the burial service of the Episcopal Church, commencing with the an- them, ‘Lord, let me know my end and the number of my days that I may be certified how long I have tolive,” and concluning with the lesson of the fifteenth chapter of the first Epistle of St. Paul to the Corinthians. PRAYER BY BISHOP SIMPSON. The opening prayer was made by Bishop Simpson, of the Methodist Episcopal Caurch, who in the course of it said that in the hands of God were the issues of life and death. Our sins had called for His wrath to descend upon us as individuals and as a community. For the sake of our Blessed Redeemer forgiveress was asked for all our transgressions, and that all our iniquities may be washed away. While ‘we bow under this sad bereavement which has caused a wide-spread gloom not only in this circle but over the entire land, an invocation was made that all might submit to God’s holy will. Thanks were returned for the gift of such & man as our Heavenly Father had just taken from us, and for the many virtues which distinguished all his trar sactions; for the integ- rity, bonesty and transparency of eharacter bestowed upon him; and for having given him counsellors to guide our nation through periods of unprecedented sorrow. He was permitted to live to behold the breaking of the clouds which overhung our national asyigua ne dis. integration of the rebellion. ing up the mount he beheld the land of promise with its beauty and happiness, and the glorious destiny reserved for us & & nation.

THR) UNERAL SERMON. The Rey. Dr. Gurley, of the New York ave- nne Presbyterian u , which the de- ceased President had worshipped, delivered the funeral sermon standmgon the step and r the head of the coffin. He commenced by ng: We recognize aml adore the soyer- gnty of God. His throne is in the heavens and his Kingdom ruleth over al lt was a cruel hand—the dark hand of the assass that smote our Povored, wise and noble Presi dent, and filled the land with sorrow. Bat above this there is another which we mu T] and acknowledge. Itis the chastening hand et a wise and faithful God. He gives us the bittercup. We yield ‘to the behests and drink the dran t His cha ement comes in @ way heavy and Tysieriousiy deep at me m the rebel- lion was passing away. The assassin has stricken down a2 man upon whom the peuple had learned to trust, and upon whom more than upon any other had centred their hopes for a restoration of the Union and a return of harmony. In the midet of our rejoicings we needed this stroke, this discipline, and there- tore God hag sentit. Our aifliction has not come torth from the dust, nor from the ground. Beyond this act of assassination let us look to God, whose prerogative it is to bring light out of darkness and good outofeyil He who has led us @ud prospered as so wonderfally du- Ting the last tour yea! f auxiety and conflict will not forsake us now. He may chasten, but not destroy; He may purify usin the tur- nace, but will not consume us. Let our prin- cipal anxiety now be that this new sorrow may be 4 sanctified sorrow, and induce us to give all we liaye to the cause of truth, justice, law, order, liberty and good government, and pure and sanctified religion. Though weep- ing May endure for a night, joy comes in the meruing. Thank God tha: in spite of this temporary darkness, the inorning has begun to dawn, the morning of a brighter day than our country has ever before seen. That day will come, and the death of ahundred Presi. dents and Cabinets cannot preyeut: The people confided in the late lamented President with a firm and loving confidence which no other man enjoyed since the days of Washington. He deserved it Il and de- served iLall. He merited it by his character. by his acte, and by the whole tenor and tone and spirit of his life. He was wise, simple, sincere, plain and honest, trathfal and just, benevolent and kind. His perceptions were quick and clear, his judgment was caim and ccurate, and his purposes were good and pure beyond aquestion, Always, aud every where, he aimed and endeayored to be right and to do right. His integrity was all-pervadfng, all- controlling and incorrupuble. He gaye bis personal consideration to all matters, whether greator smal]. How firmly and well he ocen- pied his post, and met ali its grave demandsia seasons Of trial and difficulty is known to you all, to the country and to the world. He com. prebended all the enormity of treason and rose to the full dignity of ths eccasion. He saw his duty as Chiet Magistrate of a grea! and im- perilled people and leant on the arm of Him who gives the power to the faint, and who in- creaseth strength Dr. Gurley remarked he had often heard President Lincoln say that Divine Providence and mercy was the propton which he humbly and habitually leaned, the best hope he had for himself and the country. When about leaying his home In Illinois to come to Wash- ington, he said toold and tried friends:—«I leave you with the request that you pray for me.” They did pray tor him, and millions of others prayed for him. Nor did they pray in vain, aud the answer to the prayer shone forth in clearness and brightness of his Administra- tion from the commencement to its closer I speak whail know and testify what I have often heard him cay when I affirm that that guidance and mercy were the prop on which be humbly and habitually leaned: that they were the best hope he had for himself and his country. Hence when he was leaving his bome in Illmois, and coming to this city to take his seat in the Executive chair of a dis- turbed and troubled nation, he said to the old aud tried friends who gathered tearfully around him and bade him tarewell:—« I leaye you with this request—pray for me.” They did pray for him, and millions of others prayed for bim; nor did they pray !n vain. Their prayer was heard, and the answer appears in all bis subsequent history. It shines forth witb heavenly radiance in the whole course and tenor of his Administration, from its com- mencement to its close. Godraised him up for agreat and glorious misstion—furnished him tor bis work and aided him tn its accomplish. ment. Nor was it merely strength of mind and honesty of heart, and purity and pertinacity of purpose that he furnished him. In addition to those things he gave him a calm and abiding confidence in the overruling providence of God. and in the ultimate triumph of truth and righteousness through the power and blessing of God. ‘This contidence strengthened him in all his hours of anxiety and toil, and inspired him with calm and cheering hope when others were inclined to despoudency and gloom. Never shail I tor- gesthe emphasis and the deep emotion with which he said in this yery room te a company of clergymen and others, who called to pay him their respects in the darkest days of our civil conflict: “Gentlemen, my hope of success in this great and terrible straggle rests on that immutable foundation—the justice and good- ness of God ; and when events are very threat- enivg and prospects very dark, 1 still hope thatin some way, which man cannot see, all Will be well in the end, because our canse is just and God is on our side.” Such was his sublime and holy faith—it was an anchor to his soul, both sure and steadfast. It made him firm and strong. It emboldened him in the pathway of duty. however rugged and perilous it might be. It made him yaliant for the right—for the cause of God and humanity ; and it held him in steady patience and unswerving adherence to a policy of administration which be thought, and which we all now think, both od and humanity required him to adopt, ‘We admired and loved him on many accounts for strong and various reasons. Weadmired his child-like simplicity,his freedom from guileand deceit, his staunch and sterling tategrity, his kind and forgiving temper, his industry and pa- tience, his persistent, self-sacrificing devotion toall the duties of his eminent station, from the least to the greatest. His readiness to bear and consider the poor and humble, the suffering and the oppressed: His charity towards those who questioned the correctness of his Opinions and the wisdom of his policy. His wonder- ful skill in reconciliating differences among the friends of the Union, leading them awa. from abstractions and inducing them to ore ther and harmonieusly for the common we His true and en! philanthropy that knew no distinction of color or race, but recogniled al) men as brethren, and endowed by their Oreator “with certain inalienabie righte, among Whick are life, liberty and the pursuit of happines: Hie inflexible purpose that what freedom had gained in ong terrible civic strife should never be lost, and that the end of the war should be the end of slavery, and as @ consequence of rebellion. His readi- ness to Spend and be spent inthe attainment of such a triumph—a triumph, the blessed fruits of which should be as widespread as the earth, and asenduring asthesun. All these things commended and fixed our admiration and the admiration of the world, and stamped upon hischaracter and life the unmistakable um- ress Of greatness But more eublime than any or allof these, more holy and more intiuentiai, more beantitul and strong and sustaining was his abiding con- fidence in God, and in the final triamph of trath and righteousness throngh Him and for His sake. This was his noblest, his grandest principle, the secret alike of his strength, his patience end his success; and this, It seems to me, after being near him steadily,and with him often for more than four years, is the principle by which more an by any other, he being dead yetspeaks. Yes, by his steady, enduring confidence in God, which is the cause of hu- manity, More than in any other way does he now speak to us and to the nation he lovedand seryed s0 Well. By this he speaks to Dis sauce cessor in Office, and charges him to have faith in God. By this he speaksto the members of bis Cabinet, the men with whom he conferred so oiten, and was associated with so long, and he charges them to have faith in God. By this he speaks to all who occupy positions of influ- ence and anthority in these sad and troublous times, and be charges them all to have fuithin God By this he snestrs to thic great people as they sit in sackcloth to-day, and weep for him with a bitter wailing and refuse to be comforted, and he harges them to have taith in God: and by this he will speak through all ages and to all rulers and people in eyery4tand, and his message to them vill be, “cling to liberty and right: battle for them, bleed for them, die tor them if need be, and have confidence in God.” ©, that the yoeice of this testimony may sink down intoour hearts to.day, and every day, and into the heart of the nation, and exert its appropriate influence upon our feelings, our faith, our pa- tience and our de yo‘ion to the cause now dearer to han ever before, because conserrated by the blood of its most conspicuous defender, its wisest and most fondly trusted friend. He is cead, but the God in whom he trusted lives, and He can guide and strengthen his successor as He guided and strengthened him. Heis dead, but the memory of his virtnes, of his wise ard patriotic ceunsels and labors, of his calm and steady faith in God, lives, is precious, and willbe a power of good in the country down tothe eud of time. He is dead, but the cause he so ardently loved, so ably, patiently, fuith- fully represented and defended, not for him- self only, but for all people, inall aeir coming generations, until time shall be no more—that cause survives his fall, and will survive it. The light of its brightening prospecte flashes cheeringly to-day athwart the gloom oc sioned by bis death, and the language of God's united providence tell us that though the friends or liberty die, liberty itself is immortal. There is no assassin strong enough, and no Weapon deadly erough to quench its inextin- guishable life, or arrest its onward march to the conquest and empire of the world. This is our confidence and this is onr oonso- lation as we weep and mourn to-day. Though our beloved President is slain, our beloved country is saved; and so we sing of mercy as Well as of judgment. Tears of gratitude mingle With those of sorrow, while there is also the dawning of a brighter, happier day upon our stricken and weary land. God be praised that our fallen chief lived long enough to see the day dawn, and the day-star of joy and peace arise upon the natian. He saw it, and he was glad. Alas, alas, he only saw the dawn. When the stn has risen, tull-orbed and glorious, and abappy, reunited people are rejoicing in its light, it will shine upon his graye; but that grave will be @ precious and a consecrated spot. The friends of liberty and of the Union will repair to it, in years and ages to come, to pronounce the memory of its occupant blessed, and gathering from his very ashes, and from the rehearsal of Bis deeds and virtues, fresh incentives to patriotism, they will there renew their vows 0! fidelity to their country and their God. And now I know not that I can more ap- Ppropriately conclude this discourse, which is but & eincere and simple utterance ofthe beart, than by addressing to our departed President, With some slight modification, the language which Tagitus, in bis life of Agricola, addres- ses to his yenerable and departed father-in- law: “With you we may now congratulate: you are blessed, not only because your life Was a career of glory, but becanse you weye released, when, your country safe, it was happiness to die. We haye lost a parent, and, in our distress, it is now an addition to our heartfelt sorrow, that we hadit notin onr ower 10 commune with you on the bed of anguisbing, and receiye your last embrace. Your dying words woul haye been ever dear te us: your comm: we should haye treasured np, and graven them on our hearts. This sad comfort we have lost, and the wound, for that reason, pierces deeper. From the world of spirits behold your discon- solate family and people, exhalt our minds from fond regret and unavailing grief to the contemplation of ycur virtues, Those we must not lament: it were impiety to sully them with a tear. To cherish theirmemory, to embalm them with our praises, and, s0 far as we can, toemulate your bright example, will be the truest mark of your respect, the best tribute wecan offer. Your wife will thus preserve the memory of the best of husbands, and thus your children will prove their filial piety By dwelling constantly om your words and actions, they will have an illustrious char- acter before their eyes,and, not content with the bare image of your mortal frame, they will bave what is more yaluable, the form and fea- tures of your mind. Busts and statues, like the originals, are frail jand perishable. The soulis formed of finer elements, and its inward form is motto be expressed by the hand ofan artist with unconscious matter, our manners and our morals may in some degree trac; the resemblance; All ot you that gained our love and raised our admiration still subsist, and Willever subsist, preserved in the minds of men, the register of ages and the records of fame. Others who figured on the stage of life, and were the worthies of a forme» day, will sink for wantof @faithtul historian, into the common lot of oblivion, inglorious and un- remembered; but you, our mented triend and head, delineated with trath, aad fairly con- signed to posterity, will survive yourself and triumph over the injuries of time ” PRAYER. The Rey. E.H. Gray, D. D., pasior of the E street Baptist Church, closed the solemn ser- vices by delivering & fervent fnd feeling prayer. REMOVAL OF THR Bopy. The prayer being ended, a detailed detach- ment of the Veteran Reserve Corpsentered the room, and, the coffin hayimg been closed, con- veyed it from the catafalco tothe funeral car awaitng itat the main entrance to the man- sion. As soon as it was placed upon the car, the gentlemen in the East Room passed out in their appointed order, fell into their assigned places, and the funeral cortege passed on to Pennsylvania avenue.
