THE NEW YORK HERALD NO. 5641. THE GRAND FUNERAL PAGEANT. ‘The Remains of General Worth, Colonel Duncan, and Major Gates. MAGNIFICENT AND SOLEMN MILITARY DISPLAY, Oration by John Van Buren, Ben, Gite, Site One of the grandest funeral pageants ever exhi- bited on the stage of this world, passed through our city yesterday. It was in honor of all that re- mains of General Worth, Colonel Duncan, and Major Gates, brave heroes of the Mexican war. The day was beautifully fine; at noon, and till evening, it was even warm. At an early hour, the flag of the United States, of the State of New York, and of the city, flouted half-staff high, trom the City Hall, and gave token that the procession would certainly take place. In front of the Hall stage waserected, with drapery of mourning, intended for the reception of the coffins on the return of the procession. The front of the Hall itself was decorated with crape. A large force of police, under the active superintendence of Mr. Matsell, the Chief, Captain Leonard, of the Second ward, and Captain Williams, of the Third, formed a line around the Hall, to keep the place clear, and preserve order. They did their duty admirably. ‘We never saw order so well maintained on any similar occasion. The flags of the vessels in the harbor, on each side of the island, fluttered to the breeze, balf-mast high, and had a most picturesque effect. The ferry steamers to Brooklyn, Williams- burgh, and New Jersey observed the same form of respect for the honored dead. A large proportion of the houses in the streets along the line of march ‘were hung with crape ; and the city generally pre- gented the appearance of a national holiday. Broadway wes most remarkable. The whole front of the Astor House was festooned with ‘erape, and the entrance was literally shrouded with it. The American Hotel, also, wore the em- blems of sorrow, and Barnum’s Museum, and the Broadway Theatre. The latter had white min- gled with black, and a gigantic flag was suspended in front of it and across the street, by meaas of a rope running to the roof of the building on the opposite aide. The most gorgeous exhibition of mourning we saw was on the Irving Hotel. That building, and the entre block on which it stands, was tastefully bung from top to bottom with crape and white linen entwined; and at intervals, of the same ma- terial, were neat rosettes. Altogether, the effect was very striking. This hotel, the Astor House, and most of the kotels im the city, had the nation- al flag suspended half-mast high. We also ob- served Lovejoy’s Iotel, Park Row; Freach’s Hotel, and Tammany Hall, clothed in mourning. The numbers cf strangers from the country were very great. The steamboats and railway cars were erammed with them, and the streets, particularly Bragent, were filled with a tide of human beiogs, o and fro, and crowding upon each other Tike w waves. The remains, which bad been brought from the Arsenal, in Franklin street, to the City Hall on the’ evening befere, lay in state in the Governor’s Koom, and were visited by thousands upon thousands, of all ages aud sexes. All ex- their admiration of the splendid swords presented to Worth, and the elegance of the eeffins, which were all exactly alike. except the iasertp- tions and devices They were covered with the richest dieak ollk velvyt, bordered with silver edging, aud fas- tened with silver nails, The breast platos aud plates ou the sides were also silver, and the arms and other evicvs were beautifally chased in silver The pi yee sre the juscriptions and devices upon each of the three cofllus :— (Arms of the State of New York.)

Collinson Reed Gates was the eldest son of Colonel William Gates, of the 8d Artillery, late Governor of Tampico. He was bor at Niagara, New York, in 1815, raduated at West Potnt. in 1836 He immediately jdeed the 8th regitoent of Infantry, under General Worth, in Florida, serving for some time as the adjutant of Worth’s regi- met, and particularly distipguished himeelf at the battle of the Wahoo Swamp. in Floride, He was with the army in Mexico, and participated in most of the engagements whieb distinguished that war, common ing at Paloalto, At the battle of Resaea de la Palma he was reverely wounded, and was forced to return to this country to recruit. For bisservices in that sotion he was brevetted # captain; and rejoining the army in Mexico, he bore an honorable pert iu the eng at the National bridge.

This brief record of the pubilo tervices of Major Gates shows that he had, at em carly ge, earned an enviadie distinction in ap army nearly every officer and private of whieb | had so conducted as to commend himself to the respect | of his country. His private life was un- end he was waivereaily endeared to his as- tociaten, by the manly and ous qualities of his heart.

This is not the time nor the occa- tion to do so, I prefer to call your attention to some of the many great qualitien which he possessed, and to reter only to a few acts of his life, by way of illustration.
