There was a large woneourse of people present from an early hour, and se- veral fashionably «ressed ladies occupied prominent places where a view of the parade could be had. Owing to some unscoountadle delay, however, the formation of the regiment did not take place until near eleven o'clock, ‘Zhe men were attired in full uniform—gray pantaloons ‘and knapescks.

Some Of the establishments ou the line of march were draped ia mourning. The stores at the corners of Broome street and the mourning store 579 Broadway were handsomely Sesvooned with white and black crape.

From an early hour yesterday morning tho Goverpor’s room, in which the remains were left under a guard of honor of the Eighth regiment, Company ©, under command of Captain Burger, were crowded by citizens and strangers. The arrangements made by the committee for admitting the publ'c were very satisfactory, and no eonfusion arcee. During the night the guard was relieved ‘three times, ten men on duty at a time ; and at seven @’clock yeeterday morning Company F, Captain Buck, took ebarge of the remains. ‘At ton o'clock precisely the funeral car, drawn by cight gray horses, drove up to the City Hall, and was quickly surrounded bya large and inquiring crowd.

The regiment then broke into cotumns, and preceded by the band and staf, marched to slow time down Broadway to Liverty stzeet, mto West and on to pier No. 153, whore the steamer was lying. ‘The scene om the dock and its vicinity was iadeeds most imposing sight. Hvodreds oougregated upon tne ships, steamers, houset-ps, and wherever a view could be bad, to witness the procession as it passed. Even the roofing which covers the pier was filed with poopie, and to such an extent that it was at first feared {t would fall in. One very striking featare in the ceremenios was that when the remains prssed through the crowd oa the dock hardly a head could be seen covered.

How a place of public resort once so deservedly famous for ele- gance and beauty has been allowed to fail into ruin and decay without any intervention on the part of the city au- thorities no good nor eubstantial reason can be given; but there cannot be the shadow of a doubt onthe mind of any pereon who will take the trouble to pay a visit to this place and contrast the Battery as it is with the Batiery ag ithas been, that the inpovations which have been made upon thisonce beautiful spot in the name of im- provements by selfish speculators, ought never to have ‘deen permitted by those who nad the power to prevent them.

There have been some new developements jn the v1 of Capt. de Riviere and Miss Blount which have com li cated this unfortunate family difficulty most seriously. Ia Yesterday’s issue we stated that the matier had been Plsced in the hands of the police, but up to last even ing they had done little or nothing, From aaonymous communications sent to Col. Blount, there is ressoa to be- Neve that Mies Blount and de Riviere were merried on Friday. Certain it is that the mbther, Mrs. Blount, passed the night slone at the 3. Nicholas Hotel. Her daughter was not with her when she arrived at the hotel in the evening, nor when she de- Pafted yesterday morning. Beyond this the whereabouts of neither mcther nor daughter nor of de Riviere were known Jast evening with any certainty, though they were reported to be at several private houses im the upper part of the city. Yesterday Col. Blount, accompanied by his counsel, Mr James R. Whiting, appeared before Justice Connolly, and preferred a charge of abduction for the purpose of prosti tution against Capt. Henri Guillaume Marie Araous-Riviere ‘The Justice asued @ warrant for the apprehension of the accured, which was placed in the hands of an officer for execution, He will, undoubtedly, be arrested to-day, if he was not Inte last night, as he is known to be in the city. With regard to the previous hutiory of de Riviere there are some curious rumors affoxt, which, in the presentsiage of affairs, it would not perkaps be well to publish. Toe fol lowing document, however, is a singular one to make ita ‘appearance just now :— (From the Gazette des Trivunanx, May 12.) EXTRACT FROM THK RECOKDS OF THK IMPERIAL COURT OF PARIS ‘B: judgment of ibe Cour d’asvisees of the Department of the Seine, under date of Febraary 1, 1858, Henn Guillsume, Marte Arncus Kiviere, 29 years of age, born in Nantes (Loire: Inferieure), having lived in Paris, rue ‘Zalth ut No. 48, for- merly of the military profession, (now out of the country.) has been found guilty of baviog, iu 1866, fu Pacis uowingly, « baokrap! tradew |. and abe ted ber in the embezzlement (/e/ournement) of part of her Seats, and in the frenduent devenwure bythe anid danbrupt tredeswoann, ste was indebted for amounts walch she did not owe: second. the acsused received or concesled, for the deneGt of the bankrupt, part o' her porsonal property, he bss. fore, beea sentenced. per contumscy, to elg! years hard labor, by virtue of the articles 4u2, £9 and 6 of the Penal code. It is farther known that de Riviere’s father was « Pre fot of one of the departments in Franco, and that his brother, who resides in Paris, is one of the most famous chess players in Earope. ‘With regard to Mrs. Blount, who has acted so singularly in this unfortunate affair, it is stated by ber friends that she is not in her right mind, aud is actaslly @ mon>maniac on the subject of de Riviere’s marriage with her daugh’ ter. Three years since she was under the care of Dr. De Wees, of this city, for a cerebral affection, and she has hed, as her frionds assert, frequent attacks of insanity within a few years past. The form it takes is that of aa ballucination on zome particular topic, and this accounts for the deep impreesion which de Riviere’s romance made upon her on the morning when he went out to fight the duel with Captain Maury. Apart from the mental dis- temper which afflicts her for the time being, she is repre- sented as & most estimable lady, of fine conversational powers, and hae the faculty of attaching to her warmly all who are favored with ber acquaintance. She was edu cated at the North, and is well known to many in thia city. ‘There is one feature in this case which merits particular comment, and tbat is the entire inefliciency of the police of this city im cases like the one under consideration. Here was « matter involving the probdable ruin of a young and innocent girl, through the ceremony of a marrisge, which might have been prevented had the people at the Pelice Headquarters known their busioess. They were notified before noon on Friday that Miss Blount bad disappeared, and that it was feared she wouid bo married that day to an adventurer, and that her rain would be accomplished before Saturday. The most ob vious thing 0 do under those circamstances would bave been to notify every magistrate and clergyman in Now York and Brooklyn not to perform the coremony between the parties. This notification could have been made by the police within one hour or two, at furthest. Tho police telegraph communicates with every station house in the ofty, and the petrolmen could bave been ‘astrusted to ‘potify all the clergymen on their respective beats. By this meape,if ihe marriage ceremony was not prevented, ite consummation certainly could be, and with very little trouble. Bat this simple plan was never thought of, and the matter was put in the hands of a detective to “work up” in the good slow old way ; and a wortby family have, in all probability, been plunged in affliction in consequence of their dilatoriness. Since the above we have received the following com- munication from Captain de Riviere:— LETTER FROM CAPTAIN DR RIVIERE. New York, 3d July, 1868.

If we would learn one of the principal reasons why the young men and women of New York grow up #0 sianted and shaky, #0 unilke their “Belgic sires of old,” we can find it in the milk cans which are filled with the putrid digcharges from sick cows. How few of us can think for a moment of the nature and properties of milx, how important @ pert it acta in ali- mentation, snd how much in ite purity it contributes to our health. Let us describe the articie of cow's milk for the benefit of our readers and those functionaries who, not having the tear of the next charter election before their eyes, have recently discovered an intention of doing their duty :—It ia “an opaque white emulsive liquia, with ‘a biand, sweetish taste, a faint, peculiar odor, and a speci- fic gravity of 1.030;” it consists of minute white globules surrounded by a vesicle, suspended ja a clear fluid.

It js found also in beans, peas and potatoes— indeed in leguminous plants generally. 2t also contains a large proportion of the earth of bones. ‘The salts found in cows’ milk are soda, chloride of #) dium, chloride of potaesium, phosphates of lime and mag mesia, and phosphoric acid in combination with iron All these are highly important to the humen system, but are not to be found ia the milk cana from the swash laborato- ries, Among the modern preparations of milk is thas fur- nished in portable cakes. These are made by adding fuer ounces of sugar to gallon of milk, evaporating ita) a temperature of 120 degrees, and pressing it wo cakes.
