The coffin, ‘which was covered with crape and bound with silver lace, after being screwed down, was borne out on the shoulders of six men, and laid in a magnifieent hearse, with glass sides and ends.

He served with distinction in the late war between thia country and Mexico, and with his own hand took the celebrated General Braval prisoner.

Tue Wratupr.—The fine weather which we have enjoy ed for the last few days still continues. During the mid- dle of the day, yesterday, it was quite pleasant: but as the evening advanced it became yery cold. At 11 o'clock last night the thermometer at the LD office stood at the freeapg point. ‘There is still a small quantity of floating m the North and Fast rivers, but the navigation is not obstructed in the least. IMPROVEMENTS IN THE CrTy.—All those opposed to, as well as all those in favor of, the widening of Catharine street, are requested to meet the Committee on Streets, at the Street Commissioner's office, Hall of Records, this after- noon, at three o'clock. Extreme Destrrution.—On Monday, a woman named Margaret Farlan, residing in Tenth avenue, was found by the police of the Sixteenth ward lying drunk on the floor. Her two small children were lying beside her in a starv- ing condition. It appears that her husband abandoned his wife aud children some time since, leaving them ina very destitute state. She, however, managed to obtain rum, and has been continuaily drunk. Founp tv A Fir.—Celia Johnson was brought to the station house, on Morday, ina ft.

Police Intelligence. * AN ESCAPED FEMALE CONVICT FROM THE }ON—CIRCUMSTANCES OF HER ESCAPE, On Saterday last, officer MeManus, one of the chiefs aids, arrested a gexteely dressed woman, calling herself Maria Adair, in the dry goods store of A. T. Stewart & Co., corner of Chambers street and Broadway, ona charge of stealing two pieces of silk, valued at $155. It appears that Mr. Bernard F. MeCabe, one of the clerks in the storey suspected that the accused, from her movements about the premises from one counter to the other, intended tosteal, and accordingly sent to the office of the Chief of Police, and procured the aid of officer McManus. ‘The officer came, and without saying anything to the suspect- ed party. ‘watched her movements in the store. After a “short period, the officer observed the woman slip a piece of silk under her cloak, and was leaving the store when the officer took her into custody and conveyed her to the office of the Chief of Police, where, on exa- mining her person, the officer found under her cloak the two pieces of silk secreted. ‘The prisoner was then committed by the Chief of Po- lice for a further hearing. During the day, however, from the appearance of the woman and her conduct, it was | suspected that she was one of the two female ‘convicts who escaped from tho State prison at Sing Sing, on the night of the 34 of December last. Accordingly, a message was despatched to Sing Sing prison, setting forth the arrest of a woman who bore the description of the escaped convict, Magdelina Adrian. Yesterday morning Mr. John Dooly, one of the deputy keepers at Sing Sing prison, came to the city and at once identified the prisoner to be Magdelina Adrian, an escaped convict. The affidavits of the recent larceny were made, and the papersare to be laid forthwith before the Grand Jury, and on the indictment the prisoner saya she will plead guilty, and the court, no doubt, will adjudge her for another term of imprisonment, to commence at the expiration of her present term. INCIDENTS OF BSCAPE, The prisoner, after identification, finding that it was of no use to deny the fuet, owned up,’ and stated how she managed {o elfect her escape. She says that for some time previous to her escape, she contemplated a plan whereby to get possession of the keys and let herself out of prison, A key was fitted by her toa oloset where the matron kept the keys of the prison. At the usual hour, on the 3d of December last, the prisoners were all locked up except the prisomer Adrian, whose duty it was to remain out from seven to eight o'clock, for the purpose of trimming the lamps, and at 8 o’clock the matron was to have locked her up. Previous, however, to 8 o'clock, Adrian had secured the keys of the kitchen from the closet, and with another convict, named Jane Aikin, proceeded {o the kitchen, un- locked the two outer doors, and cacaped. In the cell of Jane Aikin was found some old clothing, bundled up un- der the blanket, representing the form of a woman lying in bed—done in order to deceive the matron when she passed along to lock the cell door. Jane, it seems, se- creted herself in the cell oceupied by the woman Adrian, and, on the signal being given, they both eseaped. Since their escape they have travelled about considerably: Adrian bas been’ to Cincinnati, and ultimately back to New York, and again commenced depredating on the store-keepers, by stealing articles under pretence of mak- ing purchases. fe seems the two convicts had been sentenced for a | term of two years, and had served already about eleven months, when, they concocted the plan, as above desc: Jone Aikin, is still a to effect their escape.

Miscellaneous, The Key West correspondent of the Savannah Georgian states that the Br bark Colony is a total loss. No part of her cargo (oil cake) had been saved. She had been stripped of her materials, which were given in charge of the English Consul. The salvage on the bark George | Thomas and cargo is 25 per cent on the valuation of vessel and cargo, the wreckers paying one-fourth of all expenses, which leaves them about $8,500, net. Scbr 8 Burgess, Stirling, repairing, was ashore four days, and was oply saved Lane the strenuous exertions of the | wreckers. Capt Sis dangerously ill of fever, in the ma- rine hospital, and fears are entertained that he will not survive. The portion of cargo of bark Edgar saved had | been sold at auction; the salvage will propably be settled by bitration. The vessel bilged almost ‘immediately ler striking, owing to the violence of the wind and sea. ‘The wreckers swamped most of their boats in boarding ship Union, which was ashore on the Quicks, and was \d by two wrecking vesse's Roundy Soret with cargo saved from the wreck of bark Edgar. ‘The captain of the Union asked for assistance, but the vessels being loaded. they were unable to render any, and before additional’ vessels couldbe despatched to her assistance, she succeeded in forcing her way clear, | and proceeded on her voyage direct. Bark Har- mony, from NIondon for Apalachicola, was ashore on the Bahamas Ge or ten days, but got off without as- sistance, with the loss of all her anchors and chains, as before reported. The latter were replaced at K W, and she «ld again on the 5th. The bark Mopang, having all her crew sick, will be detained some time. Brig Motto, from Cardenas for Portland, which put in leaking, will discharge and be hove out for examination; cargo 284 hhds 17 tes 8 bbls molasses. Br ship Lucy, which was got off Love Key and taken in, is said to have one of the | most valuable cargoes ever taken into Gena for many | years. consisting of 4,250 bales cotton. The letter also | says that advices from Nassau Pxtate that a few weeks | since a large ship, name not ascertained, was cast | ashore on the Bahamas—the wreckers lightened her of | 300 baler of cottop, and, as in the case of the ship Lucy, were compelled for the safety of the cargo to cut away the spars to prevent her from being driven ashore a second time, and whilst towing her into Nassau a sud- den gale arose, and for their own safety they were com. | pelled to cast adrift from the hull, since which time | nothing has been seen or heard of her. She was laden with a very valuable cargo, being nearly 9,000 bales cot- ton. ‘The Key West wreckere are on. the lookout, eruis. | ing forher. [Thismay probably be the Italy, from NOr- | leans for Genoa, abandoned, and fallen in with by several | vesrels.

XALE OF BONDS.—WILMERDINGS & MOUNT—AN- drew Mount, Auctioneer.—$800,000 seven per cent convertible mortgage bonds of the ¢Catawissa, Williams- port and Erie Railroad Company.—The undersigned are | authorized by this company to offer at auction $800,000 of their seven per cent bonds, secured by a frst and only mortgage on their road, to cost $3,400,000, and converti- ble into the stock of tho ome at any time before + } 2007. These bonds aré in sums of $1,000 each; interest yable semi-annually, at tho Bank of North America, in Nw York, and. tho principal redeemable at. the same lace in 1807. ‘They. aro. secured by mortgages made to Franc Seymour and Elias Fasrett, as trastess for the bond- holders. The Catawissa, Williamsport and Erie road ex- tends from what is called the base of the Brosd Moun- tain, where it connects with the Little Schuylkill to Wil- liamsport, # distance of thirty miles. with a branch from Tamanend, near the Little Schuylkill connection, to the Beaver Meadow Railroad, s distance of thirteen miles, with the right to construct branches to coal mines on either side of the line, not exceeding five miles in length. The portion of the line from Tamanend to Catawiasa, thir- ty-five miles, is graded for a double track; also, the branch of thirteen miles to Beaver Meadows. | To lay down the track and furnish the graded road is esti- mated to co: with the Little Schuylkill.

At Williamsport this road las two very valuable co nections, one with the Williamsport and Elmira Road, now under contract, uniting it with the New York and Erie Road and all ita chain of Northern and Western con- nections, and the other with the Sunbury and Erie Road, making it an important link in a new, and shortest, grea’ trunk line betweon the West and tide-water. The ar- Tangements are now all complete for opening this entire | new line of communication from Erie on the lake to New York, Phiadelphia and Baltimore, to wit, the Sunbury and Erie, from the lake to Williamsport, the Cattawissa, | Williamsport and Erie, from Williamsport to Tamaqua. | the Little Schuylkill to Port Clinton; and the Reading an | Philadelphia, to Philadelphia; or,'from Tamaqua, the | Lehigh Valley Road, to Easton, thence over the New Jer- | rey Gentral to New York. ‘The only roads remaining to be completed to consummate these connections, are the Catawisea, Williamsport and Erie, and the Sunbury and Erie, both'of which are in part under contract, and the parts not yet let only wait the settlement of some ques- tons as to choice of route, to be placed under contract. By thiy proposed line of roails the distance between Cleve- land and New Yorkis 95 miles less than by Buffalo and Al- bany, 70 miles loss than by the Erie Road, and 53. than by the Cleveland and Pittsburg and Penn Central Line, while the geades compare quite as favorably. While the projectors claim for this road these advantages of throngh trafic, they also claim that, for local freight business, it will’ have no superior in the country. It passes through a broad extent of country, at present without rail access to the seaboard. ‘This region is ex ceedingly rich in agricu!tural and mineral produets, and the rond penetrates the very heart of vast deposits of both bitutninous and anthracite coal, and of inexhaustible beds of iron ore, the tonnage of which will far exceed that of any agricultural district, however fertile. Looking upon the map, it wil. be acen that the average distance between the Buffalo and Albany, and the New York and Erie, is about seventy miles: between the Pennsylvania Central and Baltimoretand Ohio, about the same; while a apace is left between the New York and Erie and Ponnayl vania Central, about one hundred and fifty miles. The Propored nev line occupres about the centre of tins space. ‘hus, when this line is completed, there will be five great thoroughfares from the Atlantic to the lakes, in nearly pa- rallel ines, with & space between ench of about seventy miles, a distance qi i sufficient to iple local the: @ afford an am; businese, while y competitors for the through business. It is believed that, the connection of this road with Elmira, by the Williamsport an Elmira Railroad, will add very largely to its traffic. By this route from Niagara Falls to Philadelphia is but four hundred and fourteen miles, whereas by Albee and New York it {s. 558, saving 144 miles of travel by this route. From Elmira, by the New York and Erie Railroad, the dis- tanoe to New York is 274 miles, add to this the distance to Philadelphia, 90 miles, makes 364 from Elmira to Phil- adelphia, whereas, by this route, it will be but 255, sav- ing 100 miles, and bringing Elmira 19 railes_ nearer Phila- delphia, by this route, than via New York, bythe New York and Erie, When it ia borne in mind that the whole tide of pleasure travel during the warm season is from Fouth to North, that the interchange of products be- tween a warmer and colder climate must always be rent, the importance cf this communication can hardly overrated.
