THE LECTURE SEASON| John Hampd:n. LECTURE BY RAV. B. H. OVAPIN, Laat Friday evening, Rey. E. H. Chapin delivered @ lreture in the Congregationa’ Church, Fourth street, ‘here was a fair audience in attendaace, he subject of the reverend gentleman's discourse | was th» “ Life of John Hampden.” He commenced by saying that there have been many persons whos: names have great influence in history, but when we search their biographies we often find that there is a lack of striking incident. They have oftentimes identitied themselves with and led their This was the case with Jobn Hampden, He was born in 1504, of a wealthy English family nearly related to that of Cromwell. He entered Magdalen College, and was distinguished for scholarship. He commenced the study of the law in 1613, and was a member of Parliament in 1620-21. This was the last Parliament but one—that of 1622 | acd 1623—durmg the life of James the jFirst. Hampden was distinguished for literary attain- ments, and for a flowing courtesy men. The period when he entered public life was a most remarkable one--the spirit of liberty was abroad, and the people were already arrsyed against | the king. In reference to the growth of this spirit in England, the speaker said that the liberal party in | England was the middie clase—tbe bill and bow men in the front ravks of bactle, end the gallant foresters of the green wood. They had, to a certain exteat, the right of preveuting excess of taxation, as no tax ould be levied withou! the consent of the Commons, spenking throagh Parliament. But, at this period, eause. the people were almost without alies. Tho wars of York and Lancaster had thianed the nobles, and there was hardly any cheek upon the sovereign. | Therefore, the prisves of the ‘Tudor line reigued with alwost regal power. But the spirit of iteili Bence was absoad. The press sprang forth into ligat —commercs and manufactures became a power ia the realin. The Commons were wot altogetoer pliant however, under EBlizaberh ; but she kaew how to overn them Though a weman,she was “every inch a ing;’ and she was succeeded oy James, who was a coward, a despot,and a pedant. When Jamesmoaated the throre the people were not well disposed to wards him. He attempted to force his prerogative uo oa them, and was unsuccessful. His first Pariiament {that of which Hampden was & member,) was a most powertul one. Is issued a protest which breathes the true spirit of freedom. Loberty was abroad—but the man and the hour had not come, and James died in peace. During this time Hampden ‘was in the front ranks of those who supported the | ple’s rights. Charles the First was nots» much | blame as his ancestors. Like Louis XVL, he mot | ‘the waves of popular opinion when they were breast high.and was carried away by them. We cannot help feeiing a little pride at the manuer of conduct- ing this revolution and the French. The system of tactics was exhausted before the sword | was resoried to. There were maoy men in Par | Hament whom we cannot sdmire; but from their | work came ui of good. and by it thousands of people now Jive in perfect liberty to sneer at them. The lecturer gave a ylauce at the first and second Parliaments of Charies the First—the speech of Hampden against the forced loan, his imprisoament, and his return to Pariiament in triamph. Then | came a dark period of eleven years, waen Charles | ruled with absolute power. At this time Hampden lived in retirement, but was called out by the laying of the tax called ship money. This was a levy of a direct tax, on the pretence that it waa needed for the fitting of ships for defence of the coast and against Pirates. At one time this might have been levied on orts; but by the petition, of right it could not be levied without act of Parliament. Hampden re- | sisted—joined issue with tue king, aud though de- | feated a+ law he gained the victory. Even the royal judges were divided as to the legality of the tix. e king finally consented to summon another Parjiament. The di-turoances ia Scotland obliged him to ca!lon the people for aid. It was short ses- sion, and then issued a peried of war, tyrauny | and disorder. Thea came the Long Parliament—the | most extraordinary assembly ever convened. The Parliament met on the 3d November, 1640, It re- formed abuses, condemned ship money, impeached and executed Straford. In ail these acts Hump- den was the foremost man. After the king at- tempted to seize five members of the House of Com- mous, of which number Hampden ws ons, it changed him entirely. He found that the time for taiking was gone. The civil war broke out—the Toy] s'audard was erected at Nottingham—axd the friends of treedom joined the Parliamentary army. Hamoden was among these. On his banner was iu- scribed, “ No footsteps back.” The speaker drew an eloquent picture of the death of Hampden in a skir- mish with the royal cavalry, June 18, 1653. There was no stain on the memory of Hampden. Lord Nugent bears this testimony. Macauley says tha; history furnishes no parallel to him, unless ia Washington. There were many points of resem- blance. Both loved liberty controlled by law— both had the same steadfast gaze upon the end for which they struggled, and both were dis- tinguished for a completeness of geuius, and bob baa tue same religious faith, which sces God ~ where. The vame of Hampden is one of those senti nel werds which pass from lip to lip on the battle fields ot freedom, aud his history gives some valuable hivts for the ggie in which the world is soon to be engaced nere Are men in monarchies to-day who have the spirit of Haropden, and there are mea in our own republic: who haye the feelings of Laud and Straifurd. I'he speaker had no patience with foreign covservat dit was ridientous to Americans who s' lover the defeat of kings and oligarchies. If revolution is wrong, we are a bastard nation. The speaker inade an eloquent allusion to the war in Europe, aod suid that the spirit of despot- always comes from the North, In relation to conservatism in the United States, he said that there was an assumption which could not be borne--the | assumption that he wno attempts to speak for fre dom on the broadest basis of human rights is au i movater. If such is the caze, the Revolution mu: be an innoveton. But the cause of liberty has suf fered much from ill used victories. It ninst be the result of gradual gro and the best sort of free- dom comes out of a trsion of conservatism and radi- calim. The speaker closed with a most eloquent* peroration to the memory of Hampden. Foreign Travel. ®LDS, Bs¥ORS TAE BROOK- UM LAsT BVANING.

It appears that several boarders returned from a concert at about 11 o'clock, and discovering a strong odor of gas on entering the hoase, though none was used ou or near the premises, commenced eearching for the canse. One of them, with a light in his hard, opened the cellar door, when a terrifi> explosion ensued, raising the house completely from its foundations, and blowing the inside to fragments. One man who was asleep in the second story was thrown acrovs the street, while his bed went into the canal beyond. Another was throyn out of the end of the building. One person who stood about four feet from the cellar door, thinks ho was thrown to the attic, and was injured so that he is unable to be moved in his bed.

Commerelal and Agricultural Prospects of the Province. The following ebstract of the despatch of Sir Gas | pard Le Marchant, Lieutenant Governor of Nova | | of that province, will be found well worth a perusal:— Govexymi NT Hovex, Haxrrax, Oct. 28, 1853. My Loxp Duxs,—During the year and a half that | I have administered the government of this province T have endeavored to make myself acquainted with | | its industrial resources and maritimeand agricultural i capabilities. | ‘ith the Blue Book sent home in 1852, I trans- mitted the statistical returns for 1851, col'ected un- | deran act of the Legislature. Without recapitu- lating what these include, I shall do myself the ho- nor to call your lordship’s attention to # few inter. esting facté, and com: tive statements, which will eerve to illustrate the actual sondition of this colony. | T am happy to be enabled to report that it has en- tirely recovered from the depression occasioned by | the potato rot, and by the derangements which re- cent changes {n the commercial system of the empire at first occasioned. All the great interesta of tae | province exhibit revived activity. Its siaples—ag- | riculiural produce, tish, coal, gypsum, cordwood, | Inmber, and new yessels—command high prices. | ‘The population are fully employed; and the revenue, | collected under 2 tariff the lowest on this coutiuent, | steadily increases, yielding not only all that is re- | quirea toe defray the expenses of the gover: meat, but a large surplus for the protection of the fisheries, | the encouragement of agriculture, the maintenance | a schools, and for internal improvements of various | kinds. | Tu Canada the advalorem duty on imports is 124 per tent; in New Branswick it ranges from 74 to #0 per ; bnt ia Nova Scotia it is ouly 6{ per cent | on the same description of articles. In 1849 the revenue was £54,179 11 4 sterling. In 1852, in sterling, £93,039 72% And the three | quarters of 1563, the accounts for whish have been | closed, show that tois increase will be maintained. ‘The following isa summary of the importationa at the forty-three differeot ports in Nova Scotia in | the year 1552.

This province, beiog nearly surrounded by the sea, with the Bay of Fundy and Basin of Mines extending into the very midst of her western and midland, and the Bras d'Or lake into the bosom of her eastern eounties, presents to the ocean, in preperten to territory, a greater extent of seacoast than any country with which I am familiar.

In the production of Indian corn, (theugh the qnali- ty raised in this Province is excellent,) most of the United States surpass Nova Scotia; but in the growth of osts she Lig in, e State and Territory in the Union except ‘Ohio and New York. In the growth of hay and in the product of the dairy it way be seen that only the older, larger, and more populous of the United States are in advance of the Province, while in the vee of potatoes she leaves twenty-three of the ‘tates far behind her. [Here follow detailed statia tics of the foregoing.] From what has been stated in a previous part of this report, your Grace will readily comprehend the peculiar importance whieh the poopie of Nova Scotia attach to the protection of the rig its of the fishery, secured to British subjects by the Convention of 1818. They know that a successful fishery has ever formed & secure basis for maritime superiority. They know that France could not man her navy now but for the nursery fox seamen which she weaintains, by boan- ties, on the banks and Coasts of Newfoundland. The: know also that in the only two of the New bp ya States which exceed them in tonvage, the fishery, (directly fostered by bounties paid out of the general treasury of the Union,) has been the nursing mother of the mercantile marine. The fishermen of Nova Scotia ask no bounties from the Imperial Legislature. They have ceased to ask them, even from their own. Bat what they do re- are is protection from both in the enjoyment of ‘ose rights secured to them by treaties, ana out of the lawlul exercise of which they see slowly evolving maritime capabilities aud resourges which no wise goverment, in their opinion, should disregard. To enable your Grace té sea the magaitude of this question from the colonial point of view, I may be pardoned for dwelling unen it for a few moments. From the month of the river St. Croix, which le the boundary between the United States and the British provinces, to Cape Sable, on the opposite shore of Nova Scotia, following the corst live of the Bay of Fundy and Basin of Mines, there are 400 miles of sea coast. Tracing the coast lines of Nova Scotia and Cape Breton, there are 800 miles more. The northern shores of New Branswick and those of wince Edward Island, may be estimated at 500. The coasts of Canada, from below where the St. Lawrence is six miles wide. to the New Brunswick | boundary, stretch over 800 miles. Following the north shore of the St. Lawrence to the mouth of Hudsen’s Bay, including the coast of Labrador, there are, perbaps, 1,500 miles more. A crow, flyin; around the Island of Newfoundland, must travel 1,000 miles. British North America has thus (ia- cluding that portion between Cape St.John and Cave Ray, on which the French have secured the rignt to fish,) 5,000 miles of sea coast. The whole Atlantic shore of the United States includes but 1,800. The shore line of the Gulf of Mexico gives them but 1,100 more, or 2,900 in all; of which by far the largest proportion bounds the slave Btates, whose laboring population cannot be trusted by their masters on the sea. If to those 5,000 miles of sea coast we add the indentations of La aud harbors— and all North America abounds with them—we shall lave at least 5,000 additiowal miles. Along this whole line of coast, and in these numerous bays and harbors, to say nothing of the Great Banks of New- foundland, there is the finest fishery in the world. Cod, haddcck, halibut, mackerel, nerring, alewives and salmon abound, with namerous other fish which have yet no marketable value. These fisheries naturally (to say nothing of trea. ties) belong to her Majesty’s subjests in North Amer- ica, who own the adjacent coasts and islands, which fisnk, enlap, avd encompass them on every side. They have the same rights over these exhaustlesa treasures which the citizens of the United States have long exercised over the comparatively valueless fish- ey along the southern seaboard, on which ths mea of the North Mele the doctrines laid down by American publicists were less explicit) would not find it profitable to encroach. Avuiliog themselves of these obvious advantages, the people of this province not only conduct a pro- fitable fishery acd an active coasting and foreign | trade, but enter largely into the carrying trade of | other countries, competing successfully, on this ex- tended field of rivalry, not only wish the British ship- | owners, but with the mercantile marine of the neigh | boring republic. | In 1846, Nova Scotia owned 2.583 vessels; Canada | but 604; New Branswick but 730; Newfoundland but 937; Prince Edward Island,265, The tonnage of al these colonies, colleciively, was, in that year, 252,852 tons, while that of Nova Scotia alone reached as bigh as 141,003 tons. During the six years which have elapsed since 1£46 the growth of this branch of iadustry has been most graying. At the close of the last year, 1852, the number of vessels registered in this province, aud actually employed ia conducting its fishery, commerce, and carrying trade, bad increased to 2,043, with a tonnage of 199,083, showing an ia. in six years of 360 ves and 47,990 tons. That Nova Sc: tia ts destined, at no distant day, to be one of the largest ship owning countries in the world, is apparent from the status already asbieved. | She owna now nearly one-third as much tonnage | as France. She beats the Anstrian are by 2,400 vessels, and by 69,000 tons, and owns 116, tons of shipping more than Belgium. She beats the Two | Sicilies by 38,449 tons; Prussia by 90,783. Hol- | land, which ounce contested the supremacy of the | reas with England, now owns bat 72,640 tons of shipping more than this, ene of her smallest cole- nies; and Sweden, with a population of three mil: | liona, only beats Nova Scotia 1h shipping by 36,927 | tons. But the comparison which Nova Scotia bears to the | 3 United States, taken separstely or collectively, is | quite as striking. By re'erence to the following ta- bile, it will appear, that of all the republican Staves and Territeries, included in the confederation, the | tonnage of but six exceeds that of Nova Scotia: — Tome.

Maine and Massachusetts, the great centres of New England | commerce, and of the fishery, still are far in ac vance of Nowa Scotia, and with the Empire State of New York, of course she pretends to no comparison; but it should he boroe in wind, that the loyalists who re- tired to this Province at the revolution, left all their property behind them; and that Maine, Massach | setts, and New York, had a flourishing commerce, ard owned a large amount of tonnage, before the British foucders of this colony had @ single sal upon | the ocean. ‘The following table will show to your lordship how largely each of the other States and Territories are beaten by Nora Scotia. It is trne that some of them are inland countries, but as most of those lie along | the shores of the great lakes or of navigable rivers, perhaps the comparison which I am bound to insti- | ‘tute may abate alittle of the arrogance with which the citizens of the Republic are apt to challenge ri- | valry with all the worl Neva Sous... ceca ceve 189,083 tox, T New Han p | Vermons. | Rbode Ieisa Texns......

Assuniing, from their | Jatest statistical returns, that their population is 25,000,000, and their tonnage 4,138,439, this wou'd | give something over one ton of ahipping to every six of the population. Now, taking the population of Nova S:otia at 300,000, and its tonnage at 189,083, this gives but a trifle leas than two tons of shipping for every three of the p»pnlation. Who oan set bounds to the maritime expansion of | @ people who bave done all this in a hundred years ? The agricultural capabilities of this province are also very great, and I have endeavi to turn at- tention to them by taking a personal interest in the pursuits of husbandry—hy enc uraging cattle shows, ty the importation of the best breeds from Eng- and, It is not necessary for me to dwell upon the nature | of the soils or the aspects of the tpeaery of this Province. These will be found described with saffi- cient accuracy in Sir John Harvey's report for 1849. Bat, as it has become so much the castom, on both sides of the Atlsatic, to wonder at the extraordinary capabilities and advancement of the United States, and to institute comparisons with them unfavorable | to the British North American Provinces, I may be ardoned for calling your lordship’s attention to a few facts, which prove that while the Nova Scotians, taken man fer mun, are outstripping their republi- can neighbors on the ocean, their country is far ia advance of many of the States in the prodaction of bod -_ ‘ssaries of life by the successful cultivation of soil. With the wheat growing countries which surroand the creat lakes, whether on the British or the Amori- can side of the line, Nova Scotia is not to be com- pared. She does vot raise her own bread, bus while one barrel of her mackarel will purchase two barrels of flour, she can always affurd to buy what she re- qui It is curious, however, to discover that, even as @ wheat crowing country, she beats five of the Now Encland States, and teeya of the more recent at z + Wed Slates abu Leriwres, t | wharves, | ment of representative institutiona. | sally prevail. | aid of a | that place that every Your Grace is aware that Nova Scotia, so far back a8 1819, perceived the importance of maintaining these BEC fishery. In almost every year since that period a small force has been fitted out, and the obvious stipulations of the convention of 1818 have been asserted by the cruizers of this Province, even when they evuld not be very efficiently enforced. la 1851 efforts were made to iaterest the other Provinces inthis service, and since that year Her Majesty's government has bestowed upon it a degree of solici- tude commensurate with its vast importance. With a view 0 combise the prooiay and impe- ria] operations as much as possible, I placed the ves- sels fitted out by this government im 1852, under in- structions mela vy Vice Admiral Sir George F. Seymour, and throughout the season they acted as auxiliaries to Her Majesty's suips employed in the same rerviee. During the past summer the vessels hired by the provincial government have been placed at the Vice Admiral’s entire disposal, and have been manned by drafts from the flag ship and commanded by naval officers. The zeal, energy, and discretion evioced by his Exscelleney Sir George F. Seymour, in the protec- tion of this great fishery, while they have command- ed the entire confidence of the Provincial govern- ment, and drawn forth unantmous expresssons of ap- probation and respect from each branch of the Le- gislature, have left the commanders of the United States men-of-war, who have in both seasons been set into the northern waters, nothing of which they could, with any sbadow of justiee, complain. The effects of increased is aes are clearly discernible in the reduced catch of our neighbors, and in the en- hanced value of our own.

[Frem the Hoston Bre, Feb 6 } A descent, 4 /a Tukey, was made upon two honses on Saturday night, when thirty-four gamblers were caught, allengaged in thelr vocation. The pa of capture was directed by the Deputy Chief of olice, Mr. Eaton, and twenty four of bis picked men. The first descent was upon the Pai ker House, Avery street, kept by ——. This was about eleven o'clock. So quietly were the operations pushed on that the gamblers were taken by surprixe—all at the gaming tables, intently shaking props. Thirteea were captured. Some endeavored to make their es cape, but it eas useless. There was notan avenue where the police did not stand. Their names, 83 ‘Sat ‘iver by the parties, are as follows :--Samuel D. Parker, John Joues, Geo. Parker, Napo’eon Bona- e, John F. Keheler, Owen Riley, Wm. Tell, hos. Fitzzerald, Thomas Clark, Peter Muldoon, Timothy Suiliven, Alfred Ssodford, Howard Faller. Ofcourse, these names are fivtitious. There is, however, no little humor in ‘putting on,” under the circumstances, such rames as Samuel D. Parker, Napoleon Bonaparte, Wm. Tell, and others. The parties, afier having been paired offand ironed, were marched to the Boyiston watchhouse The second descent was upon the “Oriental Saloon,” on Washington street, near Eliot. So rapid and noiseless were the movements of the police at ambler was also nabbed, here names, as rendered, twenty-one in number. are as follows :— William Roggles, John Brown, William H. Coley, Thomas A. Anderson, Charles Jerdan, William Short, William Johnson, John Wilson, Bent Wil- kins, Coarles Conant, John Thompson, Samuel Day, John Spriggin, John Rogers, John Hunting, Titus A. Peep, George Waldson, James Smith, H. G. Otis, Joseph O. Short, Charles H. Shaw. This party, it will also be seen, assumed the names of lofty citizens. The rogues exhibit » striking con- trast to those under whom they seek to hide their identity. They also stternpted, to escape, but un- successfully. It was not so easy to leap out of the arms of twenty four vigorous policemen. They were ironed and marched to the watchhouse, and thence to the jail, where they were committed. Most of the thirty-four are young men, well known to the police. Some, we regret to say, belong to respectable establishments in this city. Quite a harvest of dice, some loaded and some not, were found; and also gaming cards. A long gaming table wastsken at the Oriental Saloon, together with other gaming furniture, which was conveyed to the City Hall. The tables were plentifully bestrewed with money. The parties are to be examined in the Police court this morning. Much eredit is due to Mr. Eaton and associates, not only for the skilful and successful manner in which ihe operation was carried through, bat for the determination that is being manifested to bresk w the gaming saloons in our city, the number of which. feof present alarmingly large, beyond aU former times, Robin Hood's barn, I hope you will put it 1 en,” yery rempectully yours, Interesting Ceremonies In Mexico, [Coriesposdeave of the Roohester Awerican Mxxico, Dec. 24, 1853, ‘The day after my arrival the gorgeous ey of installing @ Bishop st Gandalupe was perfo: at which Santa Anna stood eporece, tr pesca first time that I had seen the President. As he stood alone upon the platform in fall uniform, while his aid-de-camps knelt aronnd him, I had an excel- lent view of his commanding person; for I stood in front of him, and but a few feet distant. As the Bible was presented to him to kiss, and each insignia of prelatica] rank, he seemed to be the perfection of military elehance and dignity, and ied in his face the character of a hard working man—the man that has ousworked, and worked out all his rivals, and who works his ministers and secre! to death; and for once at least, business is done up romptly at the palace. The next Sabbath was the Tadian festival in the Church of Gaudalupe, when the Indians danced their native dances in the church, dressed up in fantastics; and the next Babbath after, was the national festival of Gau- dalupe, the anniverrary of: this pious fraud of the old Bishop of Mexico, as the unbeliever would say, but as it is here called, the miraale of the Virgin of Gaudalupe, which rests for its authenticity upon the veracity of an Indian peasant, who says that he received a present of roses to deliver to the Archbishop as a sign of the virgin’s appearance, which he gathered up in his surape, but on opening bis surape in the presence of the Archbishop, the flowers hed imprinted themselves into the surape, around a picture of the virgin; and this surape is now the famous picture of Gaudalupe, and is as mach reverenced among all Mexicans as was the miracu- ‘ous image ef Diana at Ephesus. ‘The traditions and the facts do not hold well together; for if the roses impressed themselves into the texture of the cloth, how came they to be patut, and paint too that bas faded? But a good Catholic would say that the evi- dence was satisfaciory to the dignitaries of the church, who investigated the subject at the time,and bad being satisfied with the evideuce, soamI. This is the fuirest way to treat the subjecs. Bat whether it is a miracle or a fraud it has had the effect of pat- ting a stop to the secret idolatry practiced by the In- diane a long time after the conquest. T have been al! over the works of the famons sil- yer mine of Reul del Monte, at the northern limit of the vailey of Mexico, and wandered about a mile or #0, a thousand feet under ground, among the dig- ‘ers for silver ore, and convicts carrying burdens. ‘he ride from this ricbest silver mine ia the world, fifteen miles to Regla, with a sight of the waterfall, between two lofty rows of basaltic columos, is worth the journey here, and well merits the eulozy bestow- ed upon it by Humboldt. Ihave rode on a steam- boat in the canal of Mexico; examined the famous ace of Don Mannel Escandon, at Cucabya, and is 250,000 collection of pictures; attended a bull fight given upon a great day, under the patronage of Santa Ania and his wile, (esposa). It was a pious bull fight, as the handbills announced. and the buil beef slaughtered on that occasion was to be given to such objecta of charity as the beautiful esposa should indicate. Bight slaughtered! bulls aud ee horses as good as dead were dragged out. One horseman, having been rolled over by his horse, and once car- ried out SEDarenny, dead, returned to take part in the fight; and for his skill was presented by His Se- rene Highness with the best bull in the lot, and this selected bull was let out. A coach grove into the ring, and two little girls dressed in white step: out and pines a garland of flowers upon the head of the chief matador, (bull killer); a present from Santa Anna. And so these pious and zharitable functions were ended, after a little military display. I rode up ene side and returned by the opposite side, so making the complete eircuit of the lake of Tuezcoco; passi ng by Guadalupe, the mountain of crosses, where Hidalgo was defeated in 1810, by the pee where two fellows hung upon a gibbett, who ad been shot and gibbeted for robbing a bishop. In- deed, this business of shooting robbers is getting to be as fashionable as hanging once was in San Fran- cisco, and there is bardly a village where there is not some of this busineas going on; and as robbing never outlaws, this feshiouable sport gives ample employ- | ment to the military commissioners of the different villages; and as forty-eight hours is the time limited for disposing of a case, you may consider California outdone by Mexico; and I may add that robbing is out of fasbion just pow. I saw a calendar and a sacrificial stone laid in the church steps at the village of Tuezcoco; the chapel that Cortez built for the King of Tuezceco, the wall built over said King, and the eld canal that Cortez built to float his brigan- tines, (scows,) into the marsh of Tuezcoco, ang se- yeral Indian mounda, just like those in our Western States; and where they have been opened they have been feund to contain dead men’s bones. The salt works and glass factory of Tuezcoco are interesting, but the uae is uninteresting. 1 am inclined to think that great city of Tnezcoco must have been built of mud, as it was in alliance with Cortez, and ‘waa not destroyed; yet not a vestige of an old wall remains above ground, except those built by Cortez. 1am promiced an iavitatien tothe great State ball of the Count de Cortney, to oe given in the Palace. I will give you an account of the state adopted b; this imperial court in embryo. My visit to the sul- phur diggings in the botiom of the crater of the vol- cano Popocatepet! ought to make Sele by iteelf, and tke present letter must conclude with a descrip tion of a state faneral which has taken place to- day—the funeral of the Commander-ia-Chiet of the Army—the fnneral of Gen. Lombardini. The etreet was lined with troops, from the house of the deceased to the Church of the Francis- caus. The procession was headed by four horses covered with black, which were followed by a party of soldiers carrying lighted wax candles, each about four feet lorg and two inches thick. Then came a party of Franciscan monks, followed by the Carmelites, Brothera of Charity, Brothers of Mercy, monks of San Domingo, San Diego, and San Ai - tine, each in the clerapae of their orders; then came the secular clergy@he staff and other higlt offi- cers of the army, the city council, and invited friends on foot; and then followed the body in fall uniform, in cap and boots, and sword girt around the body. The face was not covered, but lay exposed, although it had turned to the color of pale ink. Then came the emp;y coffin and the carriage of the deceased, covered with black, and the empty carriage of the President, with the curtains close drawn; and this was followed by 3 hundred or more fiue carriages, closed in the same manner; for Mexico is a city of coaches. The soldiers of the various regiments made up the procession, which dissolved as it reached the Courch of San Francisco, where the body now lies in state. So much for a state funeral—for the pomp and circumstance of wo—which will in no wise pre- vent the worms feeding sweetly upon him, or fill the void left is a disvonsolate family.
