I: may be that a mail steamer left Liverpool on the 19:h ult., and if so, she may arrive at Boston to-day or to-morrow. If no Steamer comes, then we may look for the packet ship Yorkshire with news, She is almost equa; | to a steamer in spe if she sailed from Liverpool on the 16th ult., she will be due to- | morrew or nextday. It is time for news tocome | her proper position in ocean steam navigation, | Ammnican Steam Manive.—We seldom see 2 | man or an association of men so completely de- _ void of all right and proper feeling, that have | hot at some time or other done an act, that enti- | tles them to praise and admiration to @ certain extent; some act, that like a meteor; illumines for a time the dark night of their existenc: | No unprejudiced person can persuade himself that the Congress which has just adjourned, has | not been the most unprofitable one that ever as- sembled at the capitol. They wasted their time in discussing absurdities and fallacies until the | last day of the session; but at the eleventh hour, | they certainly transacted a little business of importance. If they did nothing else, they they are certainly entitled to some praise for pass- | ing the bill introduced by Mr. King, of Georgia, — in relation tothe government employipg ocean steampships ia the foreign mail service of the | country. This bill provides for the construction of four steam vessels of war—a line of five steamers from New York to Liverpool, of 2000 tons burthen—a | line of five from New York to New Orleans, | touching at Sevanneh and Havana, with abranch | from Havana to Chagres, of 1500 tons burthen—a line from Panama on the Pae fiv, to Oregon,touch- ing at the intermediate ports—comprising, in the oggregate, sixteen or more steamships of the | first class. We congratulate the country on the passage of this bill. The United States is at last aboutto take and wiill, before a very long time, have an exten- sive steam marine that will answer for com- mercial as well as naval purposes. We understand that E. K. Collins, Ksq., well known throughout the United States as one of | ‘Phe funersl procession was the grand feature of the | day, im the city, yesterday. The sun rose beautifully, and the delightful bracing air of @ pleasant March morn. ing g*v9 promise of a pleasant day, and the promise was fulfilled. At an early hour the flogefrom hundreds of flag~ teffs, all over the city, were floating at half-mast, and reminded al} who were not otherwise made to remember the fact, thet the day was set apart for the ob- servance of rites in honor of the three brave men whose Femains were to pass through our city, on their way to mourning friends During the forenoon, members and squads of the various military companies, were scen wendibg their way towards their different rendezvous Horses fully caprisoned, with ridors in the uniform of the various mounted regiments, were seen galloping through the streets, and all weering the serious aspect of men about to perform the sad rites which called them together. At 120’clock the artillery, under Col. Ya! took their position on the Battery, from whence they fired minute guns during the passage of the procession, | At abeut 1 o'clock the principal thoroughfares began to | be thronged with persons hurrying towards the lower part ef the city ; and long before the procession moved’ the sidewalks of Broadway from the Park to the Battery, were crawded with ono dense massof human beings, No space, no gap, from the walls of the buildings to the curb stones—every foot of pavement was ecoupied. The windows of the buildings on Broadway, and the store Coors, were also crowded, and finally the throng increased until tho cerriage way itself wasu:ed by the pedestrians. Yet it was far different from the multitudes that assemble on ordinary occasions. The boisterous | ness that usually characterizes large gatherings in the | | city, was not a feature of this vast concourse of peo. | | ple, but ell appeared to appreciate the occasion, and an appropriate solemnity porvaded the whole scene, except when the omnibuses get entangled among the | crowd, and the drivers got to cursing and blackguarding | exch other from their boxes. By the way, these same ings are often brought into exercise more sincerely tba: they were yesterday. There were two or three incidents connected with the procession that deserve notice. The scandalous conduct of the omnibus drivers, in crowding their vehicles down Broadway during the hours in which the procession was | moving up, dese! especial notice. During the time when the greatest concourse of people had gathered in front of St. Paul's, and when @ very appropriate solempi | ty was observed among them, as the bearers approached | a man appeared bearing aloft an immense placard adver tising the wares of bis employers. He ought to have been summarily ejected, and his out of place sign lower, | ed to the pavement. While the se: vices were being per | formed in the church, an infant, with remarkably strong | lungs, set up a wail which it was by no means disposed to cease. Ita mother, instead of leaving the house at | once, endeavored to soothe her offspring, apd between | the two, tho earsof the assemblage were pretty well em- | ployed,without listening to the officiating minister of the | church. When will women learn to leave their babies at home? The next and last thing wo have to complain of in the indecent haste, on the part of some of the audience, to get out of the hovse after the services had been per- formed, and before they were well through with, in fact It would have been far better to have waited till the cof. | fins were removed from the aisle. There are times when the “go-ahead” principle might better be dispensed with: City anteillgence.

The Rev. Dr. Berrien, rect tor of Trintty Church, officiated, and the services appro priate to the occasion were performed, and the re- mains were again consigned to the caro of the military, There was considerable disappointment evinced by many of the audience, who had expected that Br. Berrien would deliver a discourse; but e on account of tho lateness of the hour, or for somo other reason, he did not do so. Leaving the church, the military escorted the bodies to the City Hall, where they were delivered into the pecial charge of the “ City Guards,” who mounted guard over them for the night, and are to escert them to the boat this morning.
