The spirit of the good man whom they fj honored will rest the better to know that no feeling of ing avalanche of broadcloth, and all animated by a com- mon impulse, a single purpose—to reach the City Hall. But at half-post eleven the gates were closed. There J Was no more hope for those who had long hoped against a ope; and gradually the trains at the Park entrances 4 were broken up and the people departed, disappointed, but determined to eee at least the outward covering of the mortal remains they could not behold, and par- ticipate in the procession which was to follow them to the depot, whence they were to bo taken to the Western States, where there are more mourners and more grief- stricken friends, Composing a part of these small trains of people who waited to pass in to view the remains of our President were the residents of some of the Weatern Siates—Hlinois, in particular—who had come here especially to eee the § last of the man they loved. There were also "people from Albany, Pbilade!phia, Boeton, and from the rural dis- tricts of Pennsylvania, Connecticut, Massachusetts and ¥ New York, including many large families—the heads of: which wished their children to look once upon the face of the great, good man who has gone from our midst. @ And many of those have to go home disappointed, unless they feel constrained to; continue in their endeavors & until they succeed. Perhaps a great number will to-day take the train for Chicago, or some other place in the ‘West, hoping for better success than they met in the metropolis, From what was seen in the pro-§ jcessions, before the forming of the grand corl/ge, we judge that there must have been over a bundred thou- sand strangers attracted to New York yesterday for the} jexpresa purpose of participating in a pageant surpassing in magnificence and extent anything of the kind overt jealled forth in America, The hotels were all full, and 9] Private houses had to be resorted to in many cases to accommodate the unexpected guests from a distance. Consitiering the fact that many of the people remained in the streets during the whole night waiting fora chance to see the corpee of Mr. Lincoln, and that many of our citizens came away from their homes at an curly hour sag Very soon the yesterday morning, brincing their breakfasts and their ® daily papers, both to be consumed while they stood in?% tho line, it is to be regretted that more time could not have been given them, or that something else could not have been done to facilitate the entrance and egress im of the crowds who were fortunate enough te gain they interior of the City Hall. But let the unswecessful ones console themselves with the thought that they were at least successful in forming a portion of ono of the largest B% Spontancous exhibitions of a nation’s reverence for an (iM honest, plain, simple man, that ever the history of the fd world recorded, or that ever the pen of the historian will probably have an opportunity to describe in the future of any of the nations of the earth. THE CLOSE AT CITY HALL. The Lying in State. The closing hours of the obsequial rites at the City Hall were marked by incidents as touching as those of Z ithe earlier portions of the ceremony; and when the Jast, spectator had cast his lingering glance upon the bier the BJ thousands who had seen the body were only outnum- lbered by the thousands who had net seen it, though’ they eagerly desired to do so, In sad earnestness we have realized how truthfully that old writer spoke who said that ‘calamity was ordained to be for human kind the perfect glass, wherein we truly see and know our- selves.” Only through this terrible affliction could we have learned how strong a hold our kindly-hearted chief- tain, and the great principles for which be laid down bis! Nifo, have obtained upon the national mind. Tho man is dead, but the principles live, and his foul murder only eaves the cause of liberty and union, to which he de- g ia voted his energies, more firmly established than here- fi itofore. ?

Many of our readers will make a summary of the details we give in their own minds, and deduce some interesting facts therefrom. Those who have not tho @ moments nor the disposition to do so will be surprised at the calculations, which are easily deducible from the 44 well established premises which are stated. In the twenty-four hours of daylight and darkness during which the body lay in state, not one moment ‘elapsed that did not present a visitor to see the face of Euthe dead. At midnight the line of those plodding their 4 Way slowly to the City Hall was as tong as when it fret fastarted.

City Hall, fully two hours beforo the several hundred freedmen, who brought up the rear, started from the Z Military Academy at West Point had fired the salute and E presented their arms to the passing funeral train. In the Procession there was represented the people of every Stato in the North, of every clime, and almost every F; nationality on\‘he face of the globe; and all felt that in joining in this last tribute to a manj who was “not for ene age, but for all time,’ they also mourned a benefac- tor of uot one nation but of the world. The facts from which to estimate the numbers who f looked on the scene are not so easily obtained.
