THE FUNERAL CEREMONIES commenced properly at Portsmouth, The Empire City in Mourning for the Dead Sea-King, The Hero’s Last Voyage. The naval authorities of our country, desirous of paying befitting honors to the first oficer of the navy and the leading captain of the age, despatched two of the finest ships that fy a pennant to con-| vey and convoy the remains of Admiral Farragut; from Portsmouth, N. H., where he died and had been temporarily entombed, to our city. Tne sloop- of-war Brooklyn, Captain John Guest, was despatched from Philadelphia to Portsmouth as the escort of the Guerriere, Captain Thomas H. stevens, which had been detailed to proceed to the same point to convey the remains of our great Admiral in| state to New York. Both are splendid ships and worthy of the responsible and honorable duty they were solicited to perform, The Brooklyn arrived at Portsmouth on Monday last, and the Guerriere moved to the compass buoys of the harbor, between Forts Constitution and McClary, Tuesday noon, after @ pleasant voyage of two days from New York. ‘As it was her first visit to that port she saluted the} flag of Rear Admiral Thatcher, Port Admiral, with) thirteen guns, Which were responded to by the Vandalia, recelvingjship of the station. The trom tne municipal authorities of , consisting of Mr. Lawrence R. chairman; Rear Admiral Theodo Batley, second in command with Farragut] at New Orleans; Brevet Major General C. K. Graham and Paymaster 8. Cunningham, of the navy, the three latter gentlemen representing the Military Order of the Loyal Legion of the United States, had already arrived, and were enjoying the hospitalities of Commodore A. M. Pennock, commander of the; Portamouth Navy Yard. In consequence of the brief time intervening between THE DAY OF THE ARRIVAL of ‘he Guerriere and the day fixed for ‘the funeral in this city, 1t was found necessary to make all haste and get the Guerriere and Brooklyn to sea at once. And by reason also of some misun- derstanding of Commodore Alden, Acting Secretary of the Navy, the programme of the vresident and the Secretary of the Navy was ignored, and @ radical change was made in the detail of shi Commodore Pennock had prepared a icent catafalque to bear the remains, and haa placed 16 upon the Brooklyn; but, with his custom- ary energy, when he learned that the original idea of he Secre oe Navy was to be carried out he transfei itto the Guerriere, and, without do. laying the naval cortegé a moment, was able to see that the simple and unostentatious but impressive Tuneral ceremonies to be observed at Portsmouth. ‘were completed without detaining the squadron a moment or endangering the fulfilment of the THE HERO’S LAST VOYAGE.

AN IMPOSING PAGEANT. How sleep the brave who sink to rest By all thelr country’s wishes blest, Yesterday the remains of Admiral Farragut were received by the people of New York, and, escorted by one of the most imposing pageants that has ever appeared upon the Continent, were conveyed to their final resting place at Woodlawn Cemetery. A singular train of mishaps attended all the arrange- ments for the funeral. First, a misunderstanding ‘arose between the New York Committee of Arrange- ments and the Navy Department respecting the ordering of the frigates Guerriere and Brooklyn to Portsmouth to bring the remains to this city, which was only adjusted after the interchange of nume- rous telegraphic despatches, Next, the Brook- lyn collided with the schooner Onward in tne bay -as she was departing for Portsmouth, and following closely upon this came the dis- appointing intelligence that tne Guerriere had ran ashore off Nantucket and must abandon particlpation| in the obsequies. Finally, when the remains had reached New York, and the elaborate programme ‘was completed, a dismal clouded morning threatened ime of the munici authorities, rain, waich before the procession had commenced MPrrREM® yor, te, ,guunipal authorities its marcn poured down in torrents, Itrained a Uttle Mf display while the remains of the great Farragut were. early in the morning and nearly every one supposed, that, as indicated by the programme would be the case should it storm, the funeral would be postponed ‘until Monday; but the sky lightened up about eight o'clock, 4he troops and other divisions of the proces- sion assembied at the appointed rendezvous, and the fleet of vgssels accomyanying the remains started) up the narbor. When the storm did break upon the, city the ceremonies had already advanced too far to} ‘be checked for postponement without great trouble, and the Comntittee cf Arrangements decided to pro- ceed with the obsequies, THOUSANDS OF STRANGERS had come to New York to participate in and witness) the ceremonies, and the morning, ushered in with! flags at balf-mast aud mournful minute guns, wit- nessed in the sombre draperies of public and private! edifices and the serious faces of the multitudes that! thronged the streets an expression of sorrow) equalled only by that when the bier of the lamented) Lincoln moved solemnly through the city. Boston, Providence, Hartford, New Haven, Albany, Brook- lyn, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Washington and many other cities were represented at the obsequies either; bymititary and civic bodies or prominent citizens, and hundreds of honest-hearted country people, seldom drawn to New York by grand occasions, swelled the funeral train and sadly lined the crowded side- walks, Nor were the brilliant and distinguished names of the land leas spontaneously represented, THE PRESIDENT, with General Beiknap, Secretary of War; Hon. G. M. Robeson, Secretary of the Navy; Hon. J. A. J. Creswell, Postmaster General; General Porter, President Grant’s secretary; Governor English and staff of Connecticut; Governor Winthrop and Gov- ernor Oliford, of Massachusetts; Generals Meade, McDowell, Kilpatrick, Webb, Stahl, Sackett, Tre-| maine, Sharpe, Darling, Carietop, Peck, Drayer, Meany, Tarbox, and other distinguished officers of the army; Admirals Porter and String- ham, the gallant Commodore Worden (who fought the Merrimac), and scores of nayal cone transferred from a i ige tomb tn the Episco-' copal church, where they had rested since death had conquered the splendid naval hero, to the Guerriere, several miles distant, The guard of Marines, under, command of Major Lewis, a detachment of sailors, and the corps of officers of ‘the station, and the Guerriere and Brooklyn and the California made up. the cortége. The Portsmouth Marine Band led of the rocky banks of the river as the Speedwell Dore the remains to the Guerriere. Every nook tn the rock-bound banks of the clustering isiand, that’ make up the quamt harbor of Portsmouth § seemed to add its acclaim to the roar of the artillery of the Navy Yard. Each gun had its echoes, and the solemn chorus was prolonged by the salute of the Guerriere’s heavy nine-inch guns. ON BOARD THE GUBRRIERE. tained in a strong box, were placed on a draped dais in the after cabin on the gun deck of the Guerriere, and a guard of six marines and a non-' commissioned officer was stationed around the which received a salute of seventeen minute guns when it had passed over the side. The Brooklyn came down about eighth o’clock, and the Guerriere at once slipped her moor-| ings, got under way and steamed out of the harbor. The guests of Captain Stevens were:—Rear Admiral pelle, Commodore Pennock, Brevet Major General 0. K. Graham, Paymaster Cunningham, United States Navy; Lieutenant Loyal Farragut and Major. J.

It would be impossible to particularize the countless methods by which the public manifested their sympathy with the sorrowful occasion. Hotels and club houses were covered with black drapery and appropriate imscriptions to the dead hero; the flags of the ship- ping hung at hali-mast along all the wharves, and, asthe imposing cortége moved along the silent streets, its solemn dirges swelling the breasts of the shousands who watched it from sidewalks, balco- nies, windows and housetops, the bells joined in the tolling requiem of the minute guns and repeated to the weeping sky the grief which silenced every other tongue. THERE WAS RARE FITNESS 1n the place for such august obsequies. It was ex- ceedingly appropriate that the Empire State should receive the nation’s Admiral into her bosom, and that New York city should bear him to his tomb.

All the’ boats were plaved in the water. The sea was smooth and a light southwesterly wind kept down, to a great extent, the heavy groundswell of the Atlantic setting in on the point. To the westward sailed through the Vineyard Sound a fleet of coasters and fishermen, and soon a couple of them bore down to} the ship to offer assistance. They were secured as lighters, brought alongside and ail hands were called to lighten ship. Provisions were hotsted out, shot, shell, powder and heavy munitions were! sent over the side to the schooners, and every mo. ment was occupted in getting out articles to lighten the crait before the coming of high water.
