The reading of a portion of the fifteenti chapter of Ist Corinthians: (sot aside for cases of this kind), by the Rev.

For the last four years this great and good man—this usullied patriot and Christian, had devoted hiruseif to the service of the nation, sparing neither time nor labor whore the wellare of the country was at stake.

Long before the hour at which the services were to, commence, the sacred edifice was filled to its utmort capacity, and many who came late were compelled tw re main io the vestibule during the performance of the fun- oral services. Just as the bell tolled the hour of twelve, Bishop Coxe, attired in a surplice and scarf, accompanied by Ovo clergymen, entered the church from the vestry, and marching in solemn procession down the skle sikie tothe vestibule, approached the sanctuary from the mid. file door, the organ pealing forth in low, sonorous tones a! tinge suitable to the melancholy occasion, The regular service for the dead was then commenced, aed during 4# performance many of the congregation were affected to wears. ‘At the conclusion of the serviors Bishop Coxe arcended tho pulpit, and, after offering up a sient prayer, pro seeded to @ most eloquent and touching panegyric on the late lamented President. After referring in moet: Teoling torms to the sad event which proved the theme of his discourse, he said that the Almighty God took rarions ways of teaching us lessons of faith. The life which He gave, and which He alone had the right to way, liad, in the person of the late President, been laken away by the hand of an asearsin.

THE KEY. F. 0. BWER. A aolomn and impressive funoral gervico for our late President took place yesterday in Christ church. The edifice was crowded by @ congregation which, both in dress and domeanor, evinced the sorrowful foclings which animaied them. Nothing could be more affecting than ‘tho atyle of the supplicatory prayers offered. Tho plain- tive cadoucos of the requiem music, the voice of the pastor, ag he read the prayers, in a cloar, distinct, but rad voice, and tho stifled responses of the congregation aad Capen on tho ear, and, with the sable Ler = wo rou: wore appropriate to the sorrowful ocoaslon wich call thom forth. Towards thé conclu- sion of tho services the worthy and respected pastor mado the an Drie area hee | regret to be compelled to say to you, brethren of my flock, that tne labors of the an thy months have had such 'an cffect on me as to the coassation of labor imperative on me. It was my intention to address to-morrow on the subject uppermost in all our heal ithe untimoly cutting off of the savior of his country, the great and good Abraham Lincoln. So important is this occasion, and so unmistakably is the finger of God himself discernable, that it is for the pastor to speak to his people at such a time when, throughout this ‘broad land, thero is not a heuse where—it literally, yet in spirit—there licth mot one dead. So desperate was this crime—a crimo ah, without the alightest ex- ren, from my surchazged heart that I resisted the counsel of my physician, and did not giye up the hope of laddressing you to-morrow until am hour or ¢o ago. But ‘the symptoms that are on the inoreage upon mo warn me unmistakably that 1 must heed medical advice and leave my labors without delay and take entire rest. In a week ‘or two I will address you at length on the subject. Ono remark, however, I must make. There have boen times in the history of the world when a tyrant sat upon the throne and was bimself, in his son, an obstruction to @ the advanoo of tho people. Then would it have been }patriot’sma to strike. But, my dear brethren, there’ was no guch excuse now—not the lightest palliation for this crime; for, first, the whole murder Jof one man vifectt’ The President sat not upon the throne lik» tho tyrants of Europe; he was but the ser- vant of the great people of this land, elevated there by ‘their almost unanimous voice. To put im out of the way would not eflect any great object; to do this the whole people must first be removed. In striking at him what has been struck? It was the whole people of this land, and not the body of one man, The great principle thatthe majerity shall rule in this land was stabbed to’ tho heart—was struck with the pistol bullet. We may well, therefore, come tere in throngs, aud as the body of mour well-beloved President is borne to its last resting place this nation may weil bow down in tears. ‘The last remarks deeply aflected tho entire congregation, aud the roverend gentleman's own emotion eliavet overcame him.
