On Sunday, the city presented a general arrangement for a mourning tribute to the memory of the departed statesman, However, from early in the morning yes- terday, knots of leading politicians were to be seen at every corner, sympathizing with each other, and discuss ing the probable effect of the great statesmen’s death upon the election, and upon the future policy of the eountry, French’s Hotel was draped with mourning, Along the entire length of Broadway, mourning flags were suspended from lizes drawn across at the corners of the leading streets, running from that thoronghfare. Busy preparation prevails to mark our grief in even a more distinct manner, The Law Courts, The gloom cast over the country at large by the death ofits brightest genius—its mos: oulightened son—whether as an orator, eonator, or lawyer—has been impressively felt in the halls of justice of our city, amongst the judges and members of the bar, who have now to mourn the loss | of the honored and most distinguished head of their pro. fession. It will be seen by the following reports that most of the legal tribunals of this city have, after passing deserved eulogiums on the high standing and luminous talents of the deceased, adjourned for the day. The trial branches of the Common Pleas and of the Superior Courts, terminated the business before them, | and then adjourned, UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT. The Hon. Judge Betts presiding. Joux Pnescorr Hart, Esq., Unitrd States District At- torney, rose and said :— May it please your Honor—Since the last adjournment of this Court, the intelligence, sad. but not unexpected. has reached us that Daniel Webster is no more. He died | yesterday morning, in the full possession of all his mental faculties, exhibiting in death, as he had always exhibited in life, the entire superiority of his mind over all corporeal | attributes. ‘When we consider his greatness as a man—his public services—bis glowing patriotiem—his political jdistinc- tion—his official station—his matchless eloquence—and as a lawyer, his professional eminonce, which placed him, without dispute and beyond doubt, at’ the very head of the American bar—it seems fit that the occasion of bis death ehould not be suffered. by this tribunal, to pass by without some special notice of the event, and some evi- dence to endure upon its records. of the ‘high considera- tion with which he was here regarded.

His sun bas set; but it leaves behind that long and luminous track which shows what glorious orb it is that has descended beyond the horizon. The philoso her, the patriot, the “ great men eloquent’ has gone to his recompense of reward, and there remains not upon I ove you. sir, in consideration of our professional loss and the naticnal bereavement, that this Court do now adjourn. and that the cause of its adjournment be entered upon its record, to remain there in perpetual remem- brance of the ead even ‘The Won.

It is befitting and proper that testimony of earnest respect should be paid to the name and cbaracter of the individual named, and the Cireuit Court will stand adjourned until eleven o'clock to morrow, As the District Attornoy has re quested, the occasion of the adjournment will be put upon the records; and any gentleman present who has any rolution prepared appropriate to the cecasion, expressing the sentiments of ‘he bar with reference to the talented deceneed, it siiall be inserted upon the records, Mr. Staries—I move that the address we have just heard be entered upon the records of the court Judge Burts—It is very proper that it should bo eo. Tt was accordingly ordered to be entered upon the minutes, Preclamation having been made, the court adjourned until to-morrow (this day), at eleven o’elock. SUPERIOR COURT—GENERAL TERM.

On the opening of the Court, Daten D, Lon, Beq., addressing the bench, said—May it please your Honors—Since the adjournment of the court on Saturday last, news has been received of the death of the Hon Daniel Webster, and, as a mark of respect to his memory.

Woodman, Ksq.. for an adjournment on account of the death of Daniel Webster. ‘Mr, Woodman arose and eald:--May it please the court. I rise to move the adjournment of this court, as amark of respect for the memory of Daniel Webster, News has renched us of the doath of this eminent states: man and profound lawyer.

It is, however, fitting and proper that we should suspend for a time our ordinary ayocetions upon the decease of him’ who has so long, so faithfully and so efficiently served hts country. Within a few short months, three of our wisest statesmen, (who collectively represented the diversified features of our national interests,) have passed away.

Judge Lynch im reply said, it was in accordance with the feelings a8 well as the duty of the court to accede to the motion, Thata personal acquaintance with the il- lustrious deceased, as well as respect to the memory of one occupying the high position of Secretary of State, at the time of his death, prompted the court to adjourn, even at the risk of some inconvenience to those having business before it. ‘The court was thereupon adjourned until Tuesday the 26th instant.

Alderman Bann moved that the resolutions be adopted. Whereugon Alderman Boycx seconded the said mo- tion, and in doing so made the following remarks :—Mr, Presid:nt. i rise to recond the motion, In doing so I do not intend to trouble you with any unnecessary remaris, for whet has elready been safd, and much that has been published im ail of the newspapers of the day, leave nothing for me to say, without repeating what ¢has already been weil snid; but I desire to bear my feeble testimony to the unsurpassed worth end services of the great stetesman, whore denth the people of this great n tion from length to ith, without notion of party, are called upon to mourn; and I have no doubt but sad: nesé now pervades every intelligent andenlightened mind throughout ovr whole country. where this 1elancholy event bas been made known. “Tam free to say, no ran among our di ished and Jamented statesmen who have preceded him in their demise, had stronger claims upon the affection and respect of their countrymen. thyn has Daniel Webster.

Alderman Denman moved that the committee consist of seven, and thereupon made the follow ing remarke;—) President, I sometimes think it unfortunate that I am not now, nor have been, ofessionel speaker, that I might be enabled to bear ‘ony to the valuable services of those of our great men who have, by the dispensation ot Almighty God, bee called from the active scenes of life; and particularly on this occasion would it afford me « melancholy pleasure to pay # passing tribute to the memory of the illustrious Geceascd.

AT BOSTON AN {Prom the Boston Courier, Oct. 25 | ‘The effect of Mr. Webster's death in Boston, yesterday, was visible upon every countenance, The melancholy tidings were received by especial express about half pact clock inthe morning, The event was made knowa at coven o'clock by the discharge of one huudred minute guns on the Common. Nearly the whole male popula- tion—though prepsred for the fatal news—tarned out at e'ght o'clock. Groups of anxious inquirers had assem- bied in the streets in the neighbcrhood of the Post Oflice; and nothing could exceed their anxiety to hear the par- ticulars of Mr. Webster's death. The Guzette was the | first paper to anancunce the intelligence; but the brevity of its statement only created a thirst fer more. The last | words of the expiring patriot. and the incideats which marked bis diseolution, were wanting. We never saw | grief so universal and profound before. Each man ap- peared as if he had lost bis choicest and most valued friend. By order of the Mayor, the bells of the city were tolled from nine to ten o'clock. ' The shipping in the har- bor was dressed in the usual form of mourning, each displaying the national ensign at half stail The politi- | cal flegs of the Courier, the Journal, and the Bee, were | each craped. The flags of the Webster ward head- quarters. throughout the city, deeply fringed in black, were displayed during the day. ‘The words “Moen di principies live.’ were inscribed on each The Granit Club No.1 (democratic) flag was also trimmed im mourn- ing. The American flag was displayed at baif mast from the cupola of the Old State House, and from the Traveller building. Indeed, there seemed to be a general desire among the people to give strong external manifestations of their inward grief. The Merchants’ News Room, which is ususlly kept ag during the Babbath, was closed at three o'clock P. ‘M._ It will be doessed in crape this morning. Lhe Corporation will hold a meeting to-day, for the pur- pore of taking prompt measures to enable the People to pay formal mark of respect to the momory of the Illustrious dead. Faneuil Hall. the market, the City Ilall, aud other Vuildings, will, no doub*, be appropriately dressed out im the monner and form due to the occasion. We antici- pote public funeral solemnity and an oration. There will probably be a bar meeting this mornicg, and an in- stent adjéurmment of the courts. In most of the churches, yesterday sion was made to Mr Webstor’s death. and in some in- stances with great beauty and eloquence. The Rey. Dr. Barrett alluded to the event in a most touching manner. The Rev, J. 1, T Coolidge. in place of the customary sermen, delivered an exterapore eulogy on the departed staterman, which beautifully | mab pers the influence of Chrirtian faith, as exemplified in the life of th retery.
