Faneral and Inauguration Ceremonies at the Monument, The Piercing Cold and the Suffering ‘Women and Children. WIHENSE CROWD IN THE STREETS, &e., &., &eo. ‘The grand celebration yesterday was commenced by a review of the military, on the Battery, by Gov. King. As early as 10 o'clock bodies of militia began to movedown Broadway and the streets parallel to it; by 103 o’clock (quite a force was assembied on the Battery. - The weather ‘was bitter cold, and the piercing wind, sweeping in from ‘the open sea, chilled through the devotees of Mars till ‘their teeth chattcred and knees smote against each other. ‘it was in vain that they piled their arms, stamped their feet, clapped their hands and rubbed their noses, for all ‘their efforts could not keep them warm in such an exposed position. Till after 11 o'clock the different companies regiments kept pouring into Battery square. The cay took up their position on the exterior line of the Battery, mext to the river; tho infantry was formed on the inside of the cavalry; the lightartillery, numbering fourteen pieces, ‘was in line with the infantry. The regiments, after beiag @rawn up in their places, had to wait until after 12 o'clock ‘before they were reviewed by Goy. King. Many of them piled their arms and made off to the nearest hotels to ‘warm themselves internally and externally, The 7th Regiment turned out 500 strong, exclusive of their band {40 pieces). After enduring the cold till it was almost insufferable, they got excused for fifteen minutes, and Dy means of the comforts and refreshments of the Wash- Angton Hotel, restored their bodies to a natural, perhaps ‘wanatural degree of heat. Most of the cavalry remained en their horses in the most exposed or coldest position for covet two hours. At length Goy. King and his staff arrived. Gen. Sand- ford and his staff met them before the Washington Hotel; after the usual salutations were exchanged, Gen. Sand- ford and his staff accompanied Gov. King and staff into ‘the hotel, where refreshments, consisting chiefly of wine ‘and sandwiches, were partaken of. The officers drank the health of the Governor, and the Governor tipped his glass in honor of the ladies who were present. The salutes having been fired, the Governor declared himself ready to make the review; so the company mounted again. Meanwhile thousands of women and children were kept ‘waiting in the piercing cold along Broadway and Fifth avenue, many of whom will soon die of consumption, the geeds of which were sown yesterday. General Wright, of New Jersey, and his staff, being pre- gent, was given a place by General Sanford in his staff. Governor King and General Sandford, accompanied by their respective staffs, then rode down Battery place to ‘Washington street, where they entered the Battery and rode on towards South ferry, passing in review nearly the ‘whole of the First Division of the New York State militia. ‘This division of the State militia, composed entirely ofcitizen soldiers, is under the command of Major General Charles ‘W. Sandford. The division is com of four brigades, end numbers ee ww ge 946 are infantry, 1,201 cavalry and 1,589 artillery. ‘The First Brigade, commanded by Brigadier General @haries B.

It was composed of a platform three feet high, placed upon a frame attached to two artillery wagons. On this rose a smaller platform of asomewhat pyramidal shape, on which the coffin rested. ‘The whole was covered with black cloth, studded with stars of silver. On each side of the platform was a shield—immediately below the coffln—edged with silver, on which the letter ‘was conspicuously seen, also in silver. A splendid canop: of black cloth, richly ornamented and trimmed with sil- ver lace, surmounted with black ostrich plumes, covered the whole, while round the base of the platform were rouped several emblems of war, comprising brass witzers, balls, muskets, drums, &c, @ front and rear of the car were ornamented with American flags clothed in crape. The car was drawn by sixteen gray horses, four abreast, heavily draped in black, having their heads surmounted with plumes. ‘The style of this catafalque was unique and elegant. The coffin, of which we gave an claborate description in the Hexatp yesterday gwhen placed on the car was fifteen feet from the ground, and on it lay the hat, sward and coat of the deceased warrior, THE CEREMONIES A‘! THE MONUMENT. Tt was announced that the funeral procession would leave the City Hall at 12 o’clock, and it was generally sup- posed that it would certainly reach the junction of Broad- way and Twenty-fifth street, where the monument is in process of erection, some time about 2 o'clock. A crowd of at least ten thousand persons were assembled around the appointed place, and the windows of the houses which afforded a view of the ceremonies were thronged with spectators. Two o'clock passed, but there was no appear- ance of the procession, and the crowd began to grow im- patient; it was reported, however, that it would certainly arrive at three. Three o’clock also passed, and still no- thing could be seen of the military—four came, and went; and as there was no part of the procession yet in sight, it was thought that some accident of a serious character must have occurred; but about a quarter to five it made its appearance, and about five the military and the Masonic Lodge took up their position close by the monument. In front of the monument was erected a piat- form, from which the Mayor was to deliver his address, and the space about which was cleared for the military. The monument itself, which is in an unfinished state, of course formed one of the Worth, in alto-relievo. orn with representations of shies of war and military inuse at Lundy's lane, Mexico and Florida’ Upon the four sides of toe shaft will be inscribed the names of all the battles, &c., in which General Worth participated, and which are as follows:—Chippewa, Lundy’s Lane, West Point, Florida, Monterey, Vera Cruz, Cerro Gordo, Perote, Pucbia, Buena Vista, Oostrere, Sats Antonio, Churubusco, Molino del Rey, Chepultepec and City of Mexico. The monument was designed by James G. under whose direc- tion it is alo being erected. Immediately under the shaft is the cell in which the coffin was placed, and the cover of which is made of white marble, bearing the following inscription — While on one of the granite blocks which form the basis are the words:— MAJOR GENERAL WORTH. As soon as the head of the procession arrived within a few hundred feet of the monument it halted for the pur. of allowing the catafalque and escort to pass. All he military were then dismissed, with the exooption of the ‘Tist Ropimont, which took’ wp tte position on the left side of the street. The coffin was then taken out and placed on trestles, after which the committee, the Mayor, the clergy and others took up their positions on the platform infront. A box, containing the following articles or relics, was then sealed up and placed in the monument:— ‘Transactions of the Grand Lodge of New York for 1857, Transactions of the Grand emergent meeting, Nov. ‘Washington; an exempligcation of the principles of Free Mascmry: an oration delivered in the Metropolitan Hall, Nov. 4, 1882, by Stephen H.

We have come to pay a debt of justice and to iy om oy riate honors to a of @ man who dey is life to the advancement of his country’s glory. We art in the distinctive character of Freemasons to assist in the cercmonies appropriate to this occasion, of placing within the dark silent tomb the cold remains & hero, @ patriot and a man, and of taking a last farewell of them. In life he was one who was as much distinguished for his virtues ag @ Christian and his noble deportment as a gen- tleman, as he was for his gallant and glorious achieve. ‘ments as a soldier; it therefore behooves us, as an an- cient, honorable, free and enlightened confraternity, to bring our purest offerings to grace his memory, and to be- deck his tomb with a garland of gratitude. “ At the time he was smitten by the angel of death a great and mighty nation Was clad in the habiliments of mourning, and. his Joss was deeply felt—all feeling that a great man had fallen in Israel. And thus it should be; for when a truly great man passes from earthly scenes his loss should be mourned, his memory honored and his virtues emulated. His merits, then, most fittingly adorn the pages of history —the deeds of the great and good of every nation con- stitute the richest moral legacy that can be transmitted to posterity. It is indeed divine element in our nature which prompts us to do homage to the great and virtuous. ‘The Masonic fraternity has always been among the first to render honor to the memory of the brave and self-saori- fieing men who have devoted their lives to the cause of American freedom; therefore the Most Worshipful Grand Lodge of the State of New York most cordially accepted the invitation extended to them by the Common Council of this city to assist in the ceremonies attending the obse: quies of our late brother this day, and dedicate this monu- ment to his memory. We therefore with pride and plea- sure unite with our fellow citizens in paying the last and highest tribute of respect “To the memory of departed Worth !”” Notwithstanding his many eminent and meritorious qua- lifleations , there are none which so fully impress us with sentiments of gratitude on this occasion as the fact that William J. Worth was an honored member of our ancient and honorable Order; therefore, in compliance with a long established custom among our confraternity, we shall now. proceed to dedicate this enduring testimonial with Masonic ceremonies. Let order and silence prevai The R. W. Deputy Grand Master, act as Grand Mas- ter, then commenced the dedication as follows :— G. M. (to the Dep. G.

At the conclusion of the Masonic services, Mayor Woop made the following oration: — * .

Sharscterized an the American Rutne— us Where nature, nor too sombre nor too gay; Wild, but not Pude, awful yet not auatere might well ennoble the aspientions of a youth whose bo som was fired with genius and patriotism. While yet in his eighteenth year, and when the peace of Burope and America was perturbed, he entered, in 1812, the mil family of Morgan Lewis as private to. that eat mable general. His life was not destined t? be long spent in idle inactivity, He was already thfrsting for famo— already longing to be in the rv tus conn try. and the realization of bis aspirations net loog deferred. We were then upon the eve of a national disruption with England. The war of 1812 commenced—that war by the proclamation of which the United States ageumed a bom, defiant and inde lent attitute among the na Hone, and which resulted in a sal assurance to the ‘workl that wherever our flag floated there the American citieen (no matter where he might first have beheld the snplight) should be protected, free from ittsalt or moles: tation, in his independence t was in maintathing the na tional assertion of those principles that young Worth first fleched his sword. He accompanied General Lewis in the spring of 1818, and, about one year after he had ¢ tered bis service, to the frontiers of Canada, aving | received the commision of Lieutenant in the United States army; he was present ahd took part in the atiack upon Fort George, on which occasion he ished himself with ‘such intrepidity and gal- lantry that he was appointed aide-de-camp to hia friend and patron. The battie of Chrystler’s Field, on the St. Lawrence, soon foliowed. General Lewis was sick and confined to bis vessel when the day of action arrived. But our youthful soldier was resolved upon not being an idle speciater He solicited, and received, permission to join field army then commanded by General Boyd, whom he served as volunteer aide-de-camp. In this engagement he won fresh honors. His bravery and courage were warmly and favorably spoken of in the official report. He was already an established favorite—one that excited of future promise and future glory. hen General Lewis recovered from his illness, and soon after the battle of Chrystler’s Field, he was assigned to command in the city of New York.

Gleam of its author's future distinguish- ed and honorable military distinction is seen in it; and it may be readily conceived that it brought gladness—a full heart and melting eye—to the brave old soidier for whom it was designed. There is an eminent man residing in New York to-day upon whose cheek jong may the rose of health continue to ‘loom, at the very mention of whose name the American heart beats quick with pride, and who must be always ranked among the rst military heroes of this or the past neration—who, more than once, bore testimony to the bravery, chivalry and daring of General Worth. Yes, as- sociated in our country’s history, with the memory and eervices upon the field, of Generals Washington and Jack- son, must be that of Winfeld Scott, one of whose aids in 71814, and then in his twentieth year, was Wiliam Jenkins Worth. To have merited and Won the approval and en comiums of that veteran commander, is not among the Jeast honorable distinctions of the marked life of the lat- ter. He bore an active and distinguished part in the battle of Chippewa, relative to which General Scott wrote in his official report:—“I cannot close this account of meritorious conduct without mentioning the great services rendered me by those two gallant young soldiers, Lieutenants ‘Worth and Watts, my aids. “There wax no danger they did not cheerfully encounter in communicating my orders, nd their seal and intrepidity won the admiration, as thoy before had the esteem, of the whole brigade.” Such hig! and encomiastic commendation was not without its merit. ed effect. Lieutenant Worth was breveted a captain for his gallant conduct in this affair. -,0R the 26th day of July, 1814, was fought the memora- dle battle of Lundy's Lane. There the chivatrous Worth ‘was present; and there, as upon former perilous occa sions, he signally distinguished himself. ‘The engagement was flerce and bloody; but he shrank not from that post of duty which was assigned him, in the hour of his coun try’s peril. “The conduct of Captain Worth, my aide-de- camp,” officially writes General Scott to the War Depart- ment, ‘was marked with bis usual skill and gallantry. 1 had already derived much benefit from his services, when he received a wound, at the moment believed to be mor tal, in the act of passing through a blage of fire to commu- an order. His conduct in this second affair will not only bear a comparison with his own services in the first, ‘but with the services of any other officer of his rank in either action.’” From the effects of this wound Captain Worth did not soon recover. It lamed him for life, and confined him to his bed and room twelve months. When he was able to ‘walk beneath the sunlight again peace was restored and security dwelt within onr borders. But our War Depart- ment, acting inthe spirit of a free and liberal govern- ment, was not unmindful of the valued services of its sor. vant.’ Captain Worth had no high sounding pedigree—no hereditary or noble lineage to commend him for promo- tion to his superior oficers—but he had talents, bravory and signal military ardor, which he well knew, under the institutions indefence of which he shed his blood, were the only true and safe pasmporte to fame. In consideration of his services and distinguished con- duct in the battle of Lundy's Lane, he was made a brevet brilliancy and effectiveness of Worth’s genius was not confined to the battle field. He was a man, by the very constitution of his nature and character, calculated to be of public usefulness to whatever sphere of life his attention —_ have been directed. He loved activity and despised sloth. He placed no confidencs in that which was vague or indefinite; idle he would not consent to be, and he never left until “to-morrow” undone, that which could be accomplished “to-day.” He was always pre- ring for possible or contingent emergencies, not Piecneeserity anticipated danger, but in order to insure public safety and security. ‘What I have here remarked, is borne out by the fact that from 1815 he passed through various military grades—first as reommanding the corps of cadets then as instructor of tactics, in which ban my J he serv ton years; and next ax lieutenant colonel of ordnance.

Fouryoars of profound peace ensued, which, with hie wonted and characteristic caution and prudence, General Worth devoted to the training and fitting of his regiment for thore flelds of glory in which our arms were soon to be victorious. The wiedom of this line of conduct was soon made evident. The year 1846 found us engaged in the Mexican war. Gen. Worth, in command of his regiment, was ordered to Mexico, where he soen won fresh laurels, and inscribed his name in immortal history. For three days he encountered, in command of his own regiment and first division, the enemy before Monterey, and on the the third day he had_sho satisfaction marching, at the bead Of his forces, into the city.

The citizens of Hudson and Colum)ia county pre * . sented him with a complimentary sword in honor of his detegniehed galleniry at Monterey, and the Stato of Louisiana did the same for his brave conduct throughoat the Mexican war. In 1848 the national Congress red a sword for him, upon which was engraved an apprecia- tive notice of his public services. It was now the palpa- die duty of the emporium of the Empire State—the queen city of America—to ,. in @ substantial form, her re- oad for one who der thirty-six years pe cpa prog ife to the advancement of his country’s glory, who was one of the most eminent and brave of the sons of ‘New York. When it was ascertained that Major General Worth was dead, a committee from the Corporation of the city of New York was commissioned to visit the widow the de- ceased, and charged to assure her that in case she would surrender to us his remains, & monument, not unworthy of bis fame, weuld be here erected to, in some degree, is name. rT In & spirit of characteristic sense and conjugal de- votion, the request was complied with; the remains of the illustrious departed were conveyed to thie city and de- posited in the receiving vault at Greenwood Cemetery, in @ manner'creditable to a metropolis and State whose —— and rity claimed in his affections the jighest place. it up to the present moment the remains of Major General Worth have been unburied. There was ‘no spot, honorable to the wealth and magnificence of this emporium, or worthy of the public services which he had rendered, to which his widow and children might repair to pay the last homage of love to the fidelity of the hus- band, or the virtues of the parent. But from this day forward the pilgrim of his genius and patriotism may here kneel in thankfulness, reverence and admiration at bis shrine. The youth of our country, passing and repassin, this monument, will hereafter pause to peruse the recor engraved thereon—of the virtues, services and fame of a man whose life presents a beautiful illustration of the in- stitutions of our country, having raised himself from civil life to the highest rank known In the army; and eve- ry lation in the chain of his eievation having been due to the fidelity of his adherence to professional duty. The life of General Worth is indeed an exemplar which young men might well emulate, for its strict truthfulness of duty to himself, his country, and his God, as conditioned being in Time. When the Mayor had concluded, the coffin was lowered into the cell, the entrance of which was sealed up. It was long past six before the proceedings were over and the crowd had dispersed.

Mills, 126 Hudson street, of the best materials and workmanship. A liberal repast was provided for the company in the cabin, before partaking of which the flags were pre seented by Sergeant Dunning, of the Fourth Company, who made the following appropriate romarks:— It is with feelings of great pride that a committee of the National Guard of New York can address a New York merchant, himself a National Guard, uj the deck of a ship which also bears the name of tho National Guard of New York. It would be vain and useless for me, sir, to speak of our much loved regiment to one whose many years of honorable and distinguished service, as of the Eighth Company, is so well and widely known.

The merchants of the United States can justly be claimed as our country’s National Guard; for, from the time of the great tea party in Boston harbor, through all the stirring ‘scenes of the Revolution and the war of 1812, the mer- chants of our land have stood foremost in defence of our national rights and honor at an immense personal sacri fice, while it is & fact not generally known, that it was the merchants of New Yerk who first resisted the Stamp act of Great Britain, and in October, 1765, resolved not to import goods from England, To this fact, as New Yorkers and mercantile men, we refer with pride, ang in bebalf of our regiment beg your of ihis et of colors.

Suspension of Business—How the Day will be Kept. To-day having been set apart by the Governor as Thanksgiving, there will be a very general suspension of business on the part of our citizens. Stores will be closed and shops shut up; dad those who frequent them will re main at home, eat their Thanksgiving dinner, and enjoy the day in such manner as seems to them moat proper and pleasant. The public offices will also be closed, and the courts have adjourned over to Friday. The Sheriff’ office is the only one that will be open at the City Fall. To-day the children at the public schools will have a holi day to enjoy the festivities of the season; but if business people relax for the day, there are other classes to whom the day gives no rest, but rather more employment than usual. The target excursionists will be out in full force. ‘The streets will be filled with them, and every hotel 0° any consequence in the neighborhood of the city will reap rich harvests from the throngs of amateur soldiers that Will leave this city for a day’s shooting. At most of the Protestant churches throughout the city there will be service to day, commencing at eleven o'clock in the morning. The Thanksgiving sermon is always an event in the career of a minister, ag on that day he is ex pected to do his best, and besides, even the most conser vative ministers feel justified in preaching on other than strictly religious subjects. The charitable institutions of the city always expect to reap a harvest on Thanksgiving. This is the day for do- nation visite and all manner of charitable gifts. Itig to be hoped that those who are blessed with this world’s goods will not forget the poor to-day. For many years thoro has not been so much suffering in the city, and every per: son who eats a Thanksgiving dinner should at least endea. vor to supply one other person with the means of alxo having one. ‘Thanksgiving day is owe of the very many good cus toms we have received from New England, and it is cer tainly a most genial and kindly institution, and reflects boundless credit upon its originators. It is a day for gifte and kindly offices between all classes, for domestic com. forts and the enjoyments of the home circle. May each year add to the regard felt for it. The celebration of Thanksgiving Day ia a custom as ancient as the States, and, wo believe, originated in Mas sachusetts, The following is a copy of a Thanksgiving proclamation issued in that State in 1767, ninety years ago:— By His Excellency Francis Bernard, ., Captain General ‘and Governor in Chief in and over His Majesty's Province of the Mc fassachusetts: Bay in New England, and Vice Ad miral of the same: A PROCLAMATION FOR A PUNLIC THANKSGIVING.
