COMPOSITION OF THE CORTEGE. Scenes in the House, in the Church and Along the Route of the Procession. BROOKLYN HONORS. The Way to the Cemetery and Dis- position of the Remains. William Frederick Havemeyer, late Mayor of the ity, who died suddenly in his office in the City Hall on Monday morning last, was buried in Greenwood Cemetery yesterday afternoon, The Preparations for the funeral were began at the family residence in Fourteenth street, near Ninth avenue, as early as eight o’clock in the morning. At that hour a wagon containing fowers—con- tributed to the decoration of the remains from friends—arrived opposite the door. Under the Girection of Mr. G. W. Matsell, President of the Board of Police, ana Alderman John J, Morris, they were taken out ana placed in different parts Of the parlors where the remains were to rest during the religious services, The body was re- Moved trom the small parior at the end of the baliway and laid, with the head toward the rear of the house, in the further of tne two principal reception rooms on the first floor. It was then im the coffin—a heavy rosewood casket, very solid ana plain, ornamented only with a silver plate on the lid, bearing the name and age of the deceased, and silver handies on either side—with the face exposed. The arrangements for the reception of the (riends of the famliy were made with all pos- sible despatch, and the decorations of the rooms ‘Were proceeded with at the same time in a taste- fal and appropriate manner. At the head ofthe coMn was placed a wreath of immortelles into which was woven in blak ‘1804-1874’? narking the year of the birth and that of the aeath of the @eceased. A tall, ebony cross, bound in ever- greens, with a large wreath of tuberoses nanging on one of the arms of the cross, stood at the foot, and on the casket were laid a variety of other emblems of life, death, regret and hope, Over against the fireplace and beside &@ bust of the late Mayor, which was raised upon a | pedestal on a side table, was a large, very handsome standard crown, worked of tuberoses and immorteiles, surmounted with a white marble dove in full fight, and supported by a carved ‘Wooden stand about three feet high. In front of the bust on the table was 4 SEMICIRCULAR DAIS CUSHION of flowers, into the centre of which was woven “Grandpapa.” A rustic cross and wreath of fow- era filled up the space on the other side oi the Dust, and completely dressed the taple. The melodeon in the recess on the other side of the Sreplace was strewn with crosses, wreaths, bou- quets of flowers, and an etagére on the opposite end Of the pariors was loaded down with them, No pic- ‘ures were allowed to remain hanging in the Fooms but portraits and bas relieis of the deceased. The piliars standing across tne middle of the rooms were bound round with black silk, and the ‘walls, door frames, windows and hangings were Graped in the same material, From the-foot of the coffin to the front windows camp stools were arranged for the friends of the family; on both sides of it, and at a conventent distance, were placed rows of seats for the pall-bearers. The ‘widow and her family occupied the room in which the remains have been lying (at the end of the hall) during the week. They took possession of it almost as soon as the body was removed, and re- maine. there until they went to the church. A door of communication with the large reception room was thrown open, and as the clergymenstood at the head of the coffin, between the windows opposite the open door, the family were direct. Witnesses of all that paased. At ten minutes to mine the friends began to arrive. They were ushered tuto the house by Mr. Matsell, who was on the front steps from before eight o’clock, and were seated in the parlor by gentlemen members of the family. Before taking places as part of the.con- gregation in the house the ladies passed around whe coffin to 100k at the remains, The face seemed to wear a tranquillity that lookea more like the easy repose Oo! life than the still coldness of death. From & strange pecaliarity—probably a slanting shadow from some object in one of the windows— the lips appeared to have regained THEIR NATURAL HEAT and color. A transparency had come into the countenance since the remains have heen resting on ice that reileved the rigidity sudden death haa imprinted and brought back an approach to life resemblance. The /riends seemed struck with the Ratural appearance of the dead as they passed round the coffin, Each one remarked it to his Reighbor and attracted attention to the presence of the old kindly benevolence on the face in whis- pers through the rooms. Dr. Bottome and Dr, Burchard arrived at the mansion at filteen minutes past nine o’ciock. The rooms and halls were almost crowded then, and at hall-past nine o’clock Dr. Bottome’ opened the burial services. An ap- propriate hymn was sung by the quartet at- tacned to ms church, accompanied by the melo- deon. Upon its conclusion Dr. Bottome rose and said :— DR, BOTTOME’S ADDRESS. — Strange but tra Nothing so sanctifies a As to be written dead Nothing so shields ‘As does the burii While with us the living are often the dead— A volume we treasure, sometime to be read; But once in the grave.

Strange THAT BUMAN SCIENCR, ‘with all its researches and discoveries, has ever | Fourto NEW YORK HERALD, SUNDAY, DECEMBER 6, 1874—QUADRUPLE SHEET. been able to analyze the mystery of death. It is the same insoivable problem that it was when the first wan died under the murderoys vlow of bia brother's club, Yet from that day, when righteous Abel dted, the endless procession has been going on from this mortal Into that which beyond; but for all this we are a8 ignoraut of What death is as if it had never been. Death is so strange—' never grow Familiar with bis gilent tread; Much as we learn we never know ‘The meaning to be written—dead!

What are the poor distinctions that divide men here? What are earthly honors now? What are the baubles of ofice when considered for them- selves alone ? What 18 Wealth and fame, if this is itsend? Alas! for human pride when God blows upon tt. The very grass of the ficid, the flower of the day, the mushroom of a night are as encuring ashumga strength. And is there not a lesson, too, in these common occurrences of sudden death which admonishes against the feverish haste of everday life? Are,.we not expending our vital- ity a8 & community at @ rate more extravagant and reckless than the prodigal spends his fatver’s gold? I gather also this instruction, 1.am not my Own, Ihave no power over either fite or death, “rhere is nO man that hath power over the spirit to retain the apirit; neither hath be power in the day of death. and there is no aischarge in that war.”” ‘The last conversation of our departed friend ‘was op this very subject. Two of his old friends had just passed away; but they were of iceble constitution. He could stand the pressure that was upon him, because he was strong and had carefully preserved himself, Alas! he knew not that even then the hang of death was upon him, we should learn alone or chiefly irom such events as these. But of immortality— aks It 4s not all of life to live, ‘Nor all of death to die. O, there ts a way of living that death shall be robbed of his sting aud the grave of its darkness, When we are truly awakened vy the Spirit of God to understand the great end and mission of human Ie and give ourselves tn true submission and earnest endeavor to “glorify God in our bodies and spirits which are his,” then death can never be ill-timed, nor surprise us by its suddenness, O, believe me, there is a power in the Gospel greater than the power of death, There is a rinerple of life which can convert sorrow into for ‘nd mourning into rejoicing. And yet again Took into that calm cold face and I ask what are the lessons for these mourners ? What tarewell word tor this fond and faithiul wife, whose LOVE AND PRAYERS have been with thee through the long period of married life, hard on to your golden wedding time? Wnat legacy does he leave to these children and randchildren in their generations to come? And fhe answer comes, the leasons of @ life time.

It ery be pieasant iu after years to speak to your children of the great honors that befell your father in bis lifetime; that thrice his native city elected him to its highest office. But incomparably greater will be the satistaction of handing down the escutcheon he has left you unstained by a sin- gie vice. It will be your pride above all things to Say tbat your father was an honest man. more than this. You wil love tostuay the life of your noble father for the sterling principles which marked him in all bia inter- course, a3 well a8 for those rare qualiti of mind which distnguisned him in his business cureer; and we, his friends, will love to think of him for those strong social qualities which made hi.* oresence so detirable and his {riendship so stong and lasting. And besides these there are very many outside who are mourning to-day as sin- cerely a8 any one here, as they think of the hand that 80 freely gave, but can give no more, and who, with us, wili love tc think of the unostentatious benefactions wbich le was continually bestowing. Literally, he strove never to “let nis leit band | know what his rgh{ hand dia” in the way of DAILY BENBVOLENCE.

In matters of religious thought Mr. Havemeyer was as personal and peculiar as he was in matters of public administration, and could never over- come & shrinking (rom the public PROFESSION OF RELIGION. But on the subjeci of personal piety he was as easy of approach and as simple and direct as he ‘was oD any subject in general. Me was a devout and profuund believer in the Holy Bible and one of the most deeply interested hearers of the Word that sat in the congregation; and I have every reason to believe that he had a very clear view of the plan of salvation by faith in Christ. On sev- eral occasions he ireely acknowledged to me his conscious dependence on divine aid, and several times said, “Pray! what should I do now without reer It will be my satisiaction and gratitude think in years to come that 1 knew him, not as the Mayor of this great city, for that added noth- jing to bim and will be nothing to me, but as @ noble and true gentleman, whose heart and hand were ready always for every good word and work. And now let us com- mend in our. most earnest prayers to God our deeply bereaved sister and her sorrowing family about her. Oh, dear friends, our hearts bleed for you. We feel your loss, and would most gladly share it if we could. Our words must be few. Thank God! what we cannot speak we can pray. May He, the Husband and the Father, be both to you. May the everlasting arms encircle you, and the comfort of His holy word be your support. When the blessed Christ, hung upon the cross, He called to His beloved disciple standing near, and | said, ‘Woman, behold thy son—son, behold thy mother |’ So commending you to God in this hour of sadness, we would say to this mother and these sons and daughters, ‘Mother, behold your chil- dren— children, behola your mother.” Dr. Burchard then arose and delivered a long address, He sympathized with the widow in her bereavement and pointed out that death was not & source of sorrow, but one of comfort, He con- cluded with prayer, and the choir sung “I Would Not Live Alway” as an anthem, Upon the close of the services Dr. Bottome an- | Bounced that the exercises would be continued at the church. A viewing of the remains again took place, those in the street who were connected with deceased in commercial matters passing pewaae the hallway into the pariors and out again in a stream unt ALL HAD SEEN THEM.

Her | gecond 80 ho has remained so close to his father’s si ince hig death, followed her ex- ample, and shortly after the casket was ciosed. During the services in the house Captain Byrnes, of the Broadway Squad, and a guard of honor arrived in the street. They took up the centre of the thorougnfare, and when the body was brought from the house, placed on the shoulders of the men from the sugar refineries, and they moved into the stree the police took up position immediately in front o them. At twenty minutes past ten the procession started from the house, the pall bearers first in carriages, the clerks from the Mayor’s office in the city Hall next, then the police and remains borne on & bieron men’s shoulders, and finally thirty carriages containing the family and their friends, After going up Fourteenth street to Fi(th avenue, the procession, moved along Fi/th avenue to Twenty-third street, crossed that street to avenue and halted in tront of the church. It was then half-past eleven o'clock, A vast assemblage congregated in the immedi- ate vicinity of the ohurch from an early hour. Ar rangements had been made by the police authort- tles #0 that the order and decorum preserved would be in keeping with the solemn occasion. By the time the hearse per hacae 4 the rema: rived at Twenty-second street and Fourth ae the galleries of the church were Milled, mostly by ladies, The members of the Common Coun- cil and the Common Couneil elect, the police justices and numerous committees Fepreeencae, commercial bodies met in the hall of the Young Men’s Unristian Association, nearly opposite the church, where they were sup- Plied with mourning rosettes and bands, and subsequently proceeded to the church. For sev- eral minutes preceding the arrival of the remai @ solemn stillnese prevatied throughout the build- ing, in which there was accom: tion for about 2,000 persons, Every prominent and official insti- gity was represented Perhaps in accordance with the wishes of the family, the taterior of the church was entirely destitute of any elaborate tokens of mourning, but the floral contribution with which the remains were sur- rounded was bounteous and in exceedingly good tas te. The pews on the right aisle were reserved for the members of the family and relatives of the de- coased, the oficial representati' ponding seats on the left. The tered the church about twenty minutes before noon, and as the casket containing the remain: was borne up the centre aisie the entire aase! blage arose.

BISHOP JANES’ ADDRESS, Bishop Janes then delivered tue first address, Me said :—Death almost unifoimly has a melan- cboly aspect, The victim may be ever so well prepared to die; his exit (rom the worid may be ever so triumpbant; his gain by death may be ever So great;. the event to him may be most aus- Picious and happy, still the survivors weep and mourn. As Dr. Jahn deciares, “It is the survivor that dies.” ‘The solemn event that at this ume has cast its shadow very widely and very extendedly has wounded many hearts; thé Hl tenderest conjuga! ties, strengthened by many years of domestic solicitude, have been snapped to @ sudden close, 48 the tempest snaps | the cordage of the vessel. She wno was so | recently a happy wile is now a sad and | mournful widow, feeling & loneliness which no boman eae, can describe and a grief which no | human discretion can assuage. May she trom this hour tec! that her Maker is her husband, and may the Divine Presence cheer and sustain her in her widowhood, This ig the first instance, I have been tniormed, in which the cruel archer has been permitted to strike ® member of this domestic circle with bis fatal sbuit. The eight children of these parents have all been preserved to them by God. Six sons and two daughters mourn the death of him that begat them, who watched over their childhood with paternal solicitude, supervised thetr education witn love and care, and by his counseis, suggestions and sym- patny enabled them to enter upon their ‘lie work, and in all practicat methods sought to promote their happiness and their weil veing. Affection most deeply mourns this bereave- ment, Our departed friend by his intelligence, his general iniormation, his genial nature, bis conversational powers was the delight of the social circle. Showing himself triendly he had were formed, he retained the constancy of his friends. There are many old and devoted friends Who wiil feel most deeply this trial of their affec- tion, He was very considerate and generous to the poor, and in many lowly homes the intelligence | of his death wili be received with mucn sadness, | He was also @& public man, and the Com- | mon Council of this city in their resolutions declared that the city has suffered great lose | by his death, and that all classes of citizens mourn bis decease. Why this sorrow? Why this public mouruing? The reasons must be found in the Character and relations in life of the deceased, William F, Havemeyer was @ Dative of this city. He graduated at the oldest collegiate insutution of this city—Columbia College. He chose for his roiession that of merchandise, and by great in- ustry, strict honesty, sound judgment and untar- nished honor he soon became eminent for his suc- cess and reputation. All public interests should be confided to men who have displayed wis- | dom and sound success in thelr pri- vate afiairs, There is no more miserable ‘policy than to intrust public interests to Men who have been unsuccessful in their personal affairs. So judged the citizens of New York im 1845, when they called the succe-sful and honored mercoant to the chief magistracy of the citv. And, in 1848, finding they hud not been mis- taken in their previous judgment, they again elected him to this same high office. In 1872, when the citizens were seeking a reform in their municipal government, which was most urgently Tequired, oa looking round for a non-partisan can- didate ior the highest office in this great metrop- olis, they remembered tne ability and the fidelity of their olu servant, and again nominated him for this office. They prevailed upon him by entreaty and persuasion to accept the nomination, and then, for the third time, | he was elected to the Mayoraity of this city. He | was thas three times by his jeliow citizens called | to this high municipal office; this was an honor suiticient to satisiy the ambition of any reason- able man. Within a tew days of the close of his third term of service, on last Monday, he died sud- denly and his earthly career was terminated. Re died in the place and in the manner in which an earnest, chivalrous man, be he philanthropist, or | soldier, or patriot, or Christian, would chuose to | die—in the place of active duty; m the discnarge of incumbent responsibilities. “As the poet has | said, Whether in the tented neld Or in the battle’s van, The fAiting place for man to die Ts where he dies for man. John Wesley prayed :— My body with my charge lay do\ Aird cease at once to work and live. Working all day, morning, a{ternoon and even- ing, and then sleep—sieep the voyage of the night, and then drop the auchor—that was subline dying. In tois manner our friend departed. He was in his office in the discharge of his oficial | duties when the fatal shait struck him; | when the silver cord was loosened, and when the golden bow! was broken. All parties, as soon as they learned of his death, hastened to pay thetr tribute to the man and the magis- trate. In our courts both the Bench and the Bar united in their tribute. The heads of the de- artments, the municipal departments, all joined in heir testimony. The Common Council paid their higtest and most appropriate honors, and with remarkable unanimity the press came forward to lay their tribute upon bis bier. Bishop Janes ere read an extract from a letter written, he said, byan editor inthe State of New York, eu- logistic of the character of the deceased. He then sald—“This earnestness of all these parties and persons to honor the deceased shows the estimate which the public piaces upon virtue and upon nonor. They also discover to us the motives woich govern the world and which are laid upon private character and in criticising the adminis. tration of public office. Ido not know that my words will be heeded or useiul, past do feel that my age and the circumstances of this nourjustify me in uttering the hope that the time 1s not die- tant when the principles and measures of gov- ernment and of administration will be Ireely ais- cussed, without involving private or personal character. Tpis is one of the greatest reforms that can be promoted in the interests of our great Republic. Those editors and those persons who will lead. in this reform and bring about this happy resalt will contribute very largely to the welfare of our na- tion and to tne advancement of our civilization, and they will bring upon themselves the blessing of posterity, and, above all, the blessing of God. We do not claim that our friend was fauitless. He would rebuke such an assumption with more in- Qignation than a! living man, What we do claim, and we are satisfied that this claim will be sustained, is that he was @ man of many excel- lencies, of distinguished virtues and of high ment. If there are persons who are so unwise as to look for those without tault, in society, let me say to them that they must go to heaven to find them. There are souls of such purity before the throne with God, but there are none such upon Ais foot- stool. We are here to-day in the presence of those who are grateful for tnis religious truth that it is Boeaeae Jor us to attain to the perfectness of our ing and attain the glory divine of our manhood; and let me say that he has a perfect manhood wno dwells with God, living in fellowship with a spir- itual help that is divine and eternal. Muy the cir- cumstances of this hour give emphasis to the en- treaty when I beseech all Who are here present to secure this prize and lay hold of this eternal life, and may we be admonished to do tt speedily. The Occasion 18 one of great impressiveness ; the father, the husband, the friend, the noble citizen, the Chief Magistrate of our city has talien, and we are here to perform his tuneral obsequies. May God, in His infinite mercy, overrule it for the public ood. Tbe audience was then reas ested by Dr. Chap- man, the pastor of the church, to rise and join in the singing of tne hymn commencing— Before Jehovah's awful throne ¥e pations bow with sacred awe. Dr. Chapman said that this hymn was @ favorite | one with the deceased, who irequently spoke of | the impression made upon him in his youthiul days when he heard it sung at the Lutheran church in Waiker street, to the tune of “Old Hun- | dred,” and it was to that tune it would be sung, ‘The fmmense congregation then rose and sang it with great fervor. DR. ADAMS’ ADDRESS, Dr. William Adams in the course of his address, sSaid:—The sudden death of the Chief Magistrate of our city is an event fitted to convey the most impressive lessons to the community. The con- Het g position occupied by the deceased makes vhe event more than ordinarily appalling. Tt 18 like the falling of a giant oax in a forest. Death! | death! familiar as is the spectacle, oh, what a mystery it is! To-day active, busy, absorbed in affairs of lite, and in @ moment withdrawn from the sight of .men. Going {orth with the morning, and ere the evening lying down never to rise until the heavens are no more. In the adminis- tration of public affairs Death protrudes his ghastly form into the scene, waves his skeleton arms and all is hushed and still. God intended it should be so, and the lesson it veaches is the insignificance of all things human before the pallid King. We turn to the Word of God and find that death entered the world by cause of sin. Sin isthe sting of death, We are all subjects of its power; it is the transition of the soulto the judgment of God. To die ts to be ripped of all earthly adjuncts and stand nakea in our moral natures before the eye of God. No man can be indifferent to the judgment of men, but in contrast to the judgment of God of what small account is their estimate or opinions Mi a ee by the prejudices of par- jd men. How true itis that a man with eart of @ child is oftentimes represented to be austere andcoid and unsympathetic. od men may salely refer their motives to God, who knows the heart. That a public man should be open to Jair criticism needs nota word of com- ment, but is it not true that public men are treated unfairly through the lines of party dis- tinction. While we honor the government let us all learn # lesson from this hour. Let us over this to prey, for our rolers that ves in all honesty and ‘te fell from the very a y the grace of God is for it. There is # lesaon in this hour has we must over be ready and watch, inasmuch as we know not the day or the hour when the Son of Man shall come. Th the lesson repeated to us by the pallid tps of the deceased, and perhaps this death is productive of more good to the entire community than the greatest triumph of a long and honored lite. Watch inthe name of Jesus Christ, whose minister Iam. 1 repeat the injunc tion, Be ye also ready, Ye men af anthorite. va | Soldiers, ye citizens, listen to the wor | prompted every action of his life. Judges on the bencn, ye fathers of Be ay, Je Sin confessed, sin forgiven, avd the sting of death 1s gone, for we are Christ's, and Christ 1s ours. At the conclusion of Dr. Adams’ remarks, the choir chanted the Lord’s Prayer. ADDRESS OF Di. HARB. Dr. Hare said :—it ail to my lot on this occasion to speak of Mr. Haveweyer personally, Not to give you acetatied history o: newspapers have already spoken so correctly and with such fulness and accuracy of him that it is not necessary to speak of his meets except as tt may point to some revealment of hia character, Indeed this accuracy in which the papers have spoken of him since his death creates a liitie surs | prise in some of our minds that they did not always speak of him more accurately in life, He was born, as you all kaow, seventy years ago; entered Columbia College when he was | fiteen, graduated at nineteen or twenty and immediately engaged in commercial pursuits. When he gave biiuself to commerce he did not | turn his talent into merchandise, but he went | there with the memory of hia stuales and of high example iresh upon him, and entered there with his penchant tor right and justice, which he had | rned in school. He went there with a culture which had determined him not to sell humseif ior money, 4nd nos lend bis moral sense by the laws | of exchange, contracts of brokers’ boards; not to jeoparuize his ever'asting sense of right, Jnstice and purity for these thing! He had = @ keen perception of affairs, a politic energy and a@ faculty of comprehen- | e generalization. He had an untiring industry, id it 1 not strange that in twenty years he stood among the first of the mercnants of New York. Nor is tt strange, standing there as he did at that time, as remarked by preceding speakers, he should be called to political affairs, When the | ship fever raged In 1845, and when it was at the risk of life that nurses performed their duty, he was found Dight and day at the side of the plague- stricken sufferers. I knew him very well; aud what 1 say is from personal observation. You know that he reorganized the police, and with what care and faithfulness he inspected every man, personally, und became | acquainted with every man, and by his} brave appeals to their honor inspired them with his own high sense or duty and honor. In 1848 he was again elected, and was animated by the same unbounded integrity and the same bright nonesty, and when he went out of office it was with the re- spect of all classes and all parties of his fellow citizens. The newspapers say that from that time, and whenever any danger threatened the city, he was the ian that was ulways looked up to by his fellow citizens, He was @ man of strong logic; he thougnut long, he thougnt profoundly, an ne thought a great deal; he had @ large faculty of generalization and keen percep. tion. No man who knew him could question the strength and power of his inteliectual facul- ties. He hated all shams; never more than he aia any man hate any trade deceit or meanness. it was grand to hear him flame out against political meanness; it Was almost terrible to behold, and yet he wasa man of tenderness. If aman be- trayed him he spoke of it mourniully, and in his latter davs he never spoke of his enemies with anger. He was an exceedingly self-reliant man, and of one thing he was always sure—his own integrity. He was simple in his habus.

His life, sald Dr. Hare, was a true, ap- right, manly and beautiful lite. How much he stands above all the calumnies which have deen raised against him, let this tribute, which I clip Irom the NEW YORK HERALD, testify:— Jn person Mayor Havemeyer was of medium height and possessed a full and portly figure, indicating a spien- did vital organization. In manucr he was dignified and courtly, impressing those with whom he came in con- tact with a sense of his culture and intelligence. Though @ man of werm and capable of the most last- friendships, he sometimes assumed a cold and ical and even cynical exterior. Very popular up to the last year of bis life he never lost the esteem of those who knew him best, nor do we think his personal integrity was ever questioned. even by those who most thoroughly disagreed with bis political policy. He was &@ man of firmness, stability and worth. “Though he sometimes carried*tne first of these ge ties to the ex- tremo of stubbornness, he was generally guided by com nh nn dogged, he gs bat lath biog Be natal senul te iat ‘was seldom ye Into | though ota ‘at thre ind ten, Deat! came 1 hint esc ‘without any premonitions of his near approach, Dr. Hare concluded by expressing forcibly and eloquently his conviction of ghe special need there was at tue present time of men of the character of the deceased. At the close of this address the benediction was pronounced and the procession formed. The remains were borne from the church as they were taken into it, accompanied by the Old Guard and the clergymen. They were then Placed upon the hearse and THE CORTEGE STARTED, While the services were being conducted in St. Paul’s church, to which aamission to the ground floor was wisely limited by ticket, a great crowd congregated in the vicinity of the bulidii pregence of several regiments of the State waiting to escort the remains, the array ot ‘fire- men drawn up in solid column, and the general surroundings incident to such & rare oc- n casion attracted vast numbe: so that by one o’clock @ dense mass of humanity had as near the church as al @ arrangements were complete, and when the long paneer tice in the church had come to an end little diMcuity was experienced in forming the procession. ‘he multitude waited in patient expectation for three long hours, and it was not without a feeling of relief that tne spec- vators beheld, shortly before two o'clock, people coming from the church. ‘The Vid Guard, which, by the way, presented a splendid appearance, was detailed as the guard of honor and special escort, and was drawn up in line in /ront of the church, under command of Major McLean, and when eight of its stalwart mem- bers, with umeovered heads, and bearing on their shoulders the casket contain- ing the remains of the deceased Mayor, walked in solemn tread from the church, the im- mense crowd was hushed to deadly stillness. Tne band of the Old Guard played a solemn dirge with trumpets draped. The pail-bearers followed in carriages, The hearse was flanked on each side by a detail of six men from the Vid Guard, in command of Lieutenant Gowney, two platoons preceding, and the rear being brought up by the staff officers. Aiter that marched the attachés of the Mayor’s office and the Uommon Council, the Common Council elect, the Mayor and Common Council! of Brooklyn and heads of depart- ments, county officers, Board of Education, Com- stoners of Emigratiol Police Justices. The members of the Stock Exchange and several other associations of citizens and ciubs waiked immedi. ately in front of the detachment of police that made ene, Jast line of the cortége. On leaving the church the procession passed through Twenty. third street to Broad way, and down that thoroug! fare to the South Jerry, Both sides of the street through which it passed Were lined with people, and every window of the houses on elther side id tenanted, houses ‘ip | that hold @ head was Many of the large commercial draped and flags at half-mast floated from all, great solemn reserve and silence pervaded t! entire scene, showing on the part of tne people a | deep respect and memory for the dead.

OWING TO A CHANGB that haa Deen made by the committee of arrange- ments the military aud other boules that were to have met the procession when 1t landed in Brook. lyn were & good deal di-appointed, Instead of going over by the South Jerry way and touching at the foot of Atlantic avenue, as was originally in- tended, the procession crossed by the Hamilton avenoe ferry. The Twenty-third regiment and the detachment of police who bad been waiting for news of the procession for some hours re- | ceived & telegram pt | them of this | alteration, and they were obliged to put themselves in @ location ay speedily as possible to meet the cortége, Tne route was then through Union street to Fourth avenue, and thence to | Greenwood, The Superintendent of Police despatched a couple of officers along Atiantio avenue to notify the people who crowded thas thoroughfare of the change. The I'wenty-third regiment marched by way of Ulinton street to the corner of Union and Van Brunt streets, where they remained awaiting the arrival o! the cortége. Tn the vicinity of the Hamilton ferry were captains of police and a force of men keeping order among the crowd, Which numbered upward of one thousand opie. Several prominent cttizens also drove up the vicinity of the ferry in carriages and pa- tiently awaited the funeral as a tribute of respect to the deceased.

It wanted but fifteen minutes of five when the first cartiage passed be- neath the inner arched gateway, amid the solemn toues of the bell. and the spectators, many of | whom were ladies, hastened to the sepulchre, hich i not More than one bundred yards dis- nt, Aé the entrance to tue vault the carriages stopped, and the first to alight was Rev. Dr, Bot tome. He was followed by the pall-bearers and the jour song of Mr. Havemeyer. ‘Tue comin was then Ilited irom tae hearse aud placed tn a case of great size, and the iid was screwed down. ‘The Inaourners stood around with heads uncovered, in the bleak vestibule of the vault, forming Jor a few moments a strange and weird pic- ture in the gray twilignt of the cold December evening, and im the desolate presence of death. A jew ladies, who pressed into the vestibule of the tomb, lent by their presence ideal sympathy to the sorrowing sons of the deceased, Tne silence was broken by the voice of the Rev. Dr. Bottome Teading the final prayers of the burial service of the Methodist Episcopal church—*We commit the body to the earth. Ashes to ashes, dust to dust,?? and then he treated of the hope of resurrection on the last day to eternal life. Tue prayer ended, the vault laborers threw back the iron gates, which grated on their hinges and upon the nerves of the timorons, and ratsing the case of the dead bore it im, moving at a hurried pace, until the third angle was turned in the labyrinth of the vault, and there, in @ cavity on the second tier, they deposited their burden, About filty persons who had followed them, turning rapidly, made their way out and breathed more freely when the bracing air fanned the roses tothe cheek, The remains will be left in the general receiving vault, Where those of the late Mayor’s brother, wno died bout two months ago, are also reposing, until negotiations for the purchase of a suitable plot, which are now peuding are completed. There isa Havemeyer plot in Greenwood Cemetery, but tt is the property of distant relatives of deceased. It is somewhat remarkable that the last great departed citizen of New York to enter that Becropolis was Horace Greeley, who was buried on the 4th of December, 1872, jass two years and one day before Mayor Havemeyer. THE SUNDAY LAW. The Police to Enforce the Law Te-Day— The Exception to the Rule. There will be lively times in some of the wards to-day if the proprietors of the concert saloons, variety halls ana “opera houses,”? who have not ag yet obtained injunctions against police inter- ference, throw open their doors to the public, for the flac has gone forth from the marble mansion in Mulberry street that whosoever offends against the Sunday law shall pay the penalty of a night in the station house for his temerity. Superintend- ent Walling has instructed the captains of the various precincts to keep a keen lookout for the doings at the various halls, and there are those who contend that in many of the pre- cincts ‘the Superintendeni’s order is in- terpreted by the captains to mean that all liquor saloons kept open must be taken care of by the police; but no person at headquarters, so far as could be ascertained yesterday, had authorized any such view of the order, it being supposed probably that all liquor saloons are, of course, | Closed every Sunday anyhow. The places of | amusement which cannot pe interfered with by the police, owing to the fact that they have been enjoined by tae courts to keep their hands of, are the Bowery Theatre, the Germania Theatre, the | Grand Opera House, the Stadt Theatre and the ‘Lerrace Garden Toeatre, Fity-eighth street, It 18 claimed by the police authorities that on | Sunday next, if the existing injunctions should be ; dissolved meanwhile, stringent reguiations wiil ; be issued for a proper eniorcement of the Sunday | law, and that apy proprietor of a place of amuse- | ment who tnereaiter offends against it will not | only be arrested, but every legal effort will be | used aiterward to bave him punished to the full | extent of, the statute, In conversation yesterday | with one of the lente oMctals in regard to the | action of the police to-day he said that so long ag | there was alaw against the opening of theatres and places of amusement of ali kinds on the Sab- | bath day tt was the duty of the police to eniorce | is strictly, and the urder that bad been issued looking to that end would in every precinct be rigidly enforced to-day to the letter, the places ‘which were protected by injunctions to be of course exempted trom ita operations. He added that in his opinion the sentiment of the great mass of the people, without regard to religious sect or differ- | ence, was heartily in favor of Sunday being re- | garded as a day when places of amusement ought LO be closed. hen questioned as to whether the police would interfere with ‘sacred concerts” the official remarked—‘“Tne captains of the various | precincts have received their instructions ana will now What todo, They are clear, and no mistake can be made. term ‘sacred concert’ has be- | come of late to mean almost anything.

SMALLPOX ON THE BOULBVARDS, To Tug EpIToR oF THE HERALD:— 1 ask, a8 & matter of simple justice, to be allowed 8 brief space to set myseif right in your paper, where untruths have been stated by certain per- sons about me in connection witn the smallpox at Washington Heights, Dr. Rodenstein says that the first case of small- pox there was @ man named Moody, who was atiended by me. This is not so. Moody told me himself that he had been treated by Dr. Porter, the Superintendent of the Deaf and Dumb Institu- tion, for malarial fever. Dr. Porter saw this man stripped after death, and must bave agreed with me that the man did not die of smallpox, or else he-has rendered himself lable for violating the law about the disposal of the bodies of those woo die or that disease. That I was sick alterward is true, but 1t was of cold and bronchitis and not of smallpox. It 1s not true that a patient. visited by me was ‘acked with smallpox nine days alter. I was not called to visit the man in question, ana his wife and child whom I did visit did not have the small- pox then and have not had it since. Dr. Jackson says that my child, who diea of the smailpox, had no’ been vaccinated. This is not trae. It had been twice vaccinated, but the virus had not taken either time. He also saya that my child caught the disease from me. er Tt never had the smallpox and have not within five years attended any case of that disease this seems rather incredible, unless there were some cases Of infectious disease in the institution, go that by contact with some of the inmates 1 may have car- ried home to the child that I lost some infection in clotbing without any | aridat of Knowing it, Dr. Jackson says that Patrick Quin, now dead from smalipox, helped to put Moody into his coffin, This 1s not true, Moody’s body was at- tended to by Mr. Sanger, the undertaker, and his Assistant, who are both alive and weil now, and have not been sick at all since then with smallpox or any other disease. Quin had nothing whatso- ever to do with Moody, and the man who did nurse him is now Well, and has not been sick since. & W. GOODRICH, M. D. THIEVES ARRESTED ON SUSPICION, Two men, well known thieves, named James Morgan, alias “Sheeny Mike,” of No. 240 West Forty-first street, and Henry Miller, of No. 842 West Forty-sixth street, were arrested yesterday py Detectives Elder and Heidelberg. They were taken on suspicion of being the men who robbed the store of Brodie Brothers, No. 4434 Maiden lane, of turs valued at $2,000, aud also o! having been implicated in the recent robberies of jewelry stores in seit They are locked up in the Cen- tral Office, waiting to be seen by Mr. Clark, who saw the thieves leave the store of the Brodio Brothers, and by witnesses from albany, A DISFIGURED CANNIBAL, Thomas Cunningham, of No. 109 Mulberry street, isafanciful man.

He was taken to the Fourteenth precinct station house, where he assured the Sergeant that a bullet Dad been fired through his nose. Dr. Cook examined him and found no sign of a builet wound, but discovered that his waren from kicks and fist blows were serious, hile the surgeon was examining the inside of Cunningham’s mouth | the latter tried to io, Wigs finger, fancying it e fan 5 PROFESSOR JUDD'S GREAT WALK, Five Hundred Miles Within Siz and @ Half Days. To-morrow morning, at half-past nine o'clock, Professor J. R. Judd, the well known veacher of physical culture, will begin bis task of walking 500 miles in six and @ half days, at the Rink, Third avenue and Sixty-third street, He will also, a8 ® further exhibition of his powers of endurance, carry @o anvib Weighing 100 pounds on the afth and sixth days of the walk for a quarter of a mile each day and tor half a mile during the last twelve hours, The prep- @rations for this great feat are comprete, apd on Wednesday afternoon last the track was laid ont under the sopervision of the members of the New York Athletic Club, and measured by City Sur- Yeyor Smith, who found It 74 feet 6 inches tn length eiguteen tnches from tne inside, making seven laps constitute a mile. Professor Judd’s declaration that be means to make a fair and honest effort to accomplish this feat, which 4s believed to be the limit of man’s endurance, is &@ sufficient guarantee to the pubiic that every- thing will be honorably and fairly conducted, so that it will become a genuine test of what an ppt and an ardent lover of pedestrianism can do. In order that he might be well prepared for the serious business on band Professor Judd, for several weeks past, has undergone a strict course of training, and day. in and day out he and his mentor, Varry Edwards, have been exploring all sections of Mannatan Island jor the purpose intended—that ex- cellent physical condition which a man must possess to accomplish anything of moment where there is @ terrible wear and tear of muscle and sinew. That he has suc- ceeded in properly fitting himself for the great work his clear, sparkling eyes, flesh as hard as iron and general muscular development fully at- tests, and every one who will witness the big-littie athlete commence his walk to-morrow morning Will see one who starts on @ mission With @ deter- mination to do or die. The conveniences for visitors during the week willbe of the pleasantest character, seats and private boxes being provided in such numbers that the largest crowd can be accommodated. It has been arranged that two members of the New York Athletic Club will be present throngh- out the entire time the Professor is walking, So that there will be no reason to doubt the returns certified to by the gentlemen who will undertake the duties of judging this great pedestrian effort. TROTTING AT FLEETWOOD PARK. Two trotting contests were commenced at Fleete wood Park yesterday alternoon, but only one of them was finished, the other being postponed un- til Monday after five heats had been gamely struggled for by the horses engaged. The first trot started was the match for $200, be» tween P. Fleming’s gray mare Alice Gray to wagon and John Murphy’s bay gelding Tip in harness, Fleming threw the first heat to Tip, but after that he went on and won the race, as he found there was no chance to make & dollar by “chucking heats.” The second race was a very fine and closely con- tested struggle between John Murphy’s gray geld- ing Willie, John Haslett’s bay gelding Sherman and T. Trimble’s brown mare Lady Trimble, milo heats, best three in five, to wagons, and was “on the square.’’ Before the start Willie sold for first choice, Sherman second and Lady Trimble at the lowest price. The first heat was @ close one an@, was won by Willie by half a length, Sherman second, with Lady Trimbie close up. The second heat was also a very doubtful one to the end, Willie getting over the score first by a short length, Sherman second. The tnird heat was very close, Sherman a little in front, but crossing the score on a break the judges made it.a dead heat between bim and Wiille. ‘The fourth heat was a counterpart of the previous one, Sherman leading all the way, bat again breaking up as he reached the score. He was in front, but the judges decided tt another dead heat. Dan then took John Hasiett’s place behind Sherman, and he took the lead with tne word, was never headed, and won the fifth heat handily. The trot was then postponed until Monday, as it then was too dark tosee the race, The time made, as wilk be seen by the summary, was remarkably good for this time of year by horses of this class. Lady Trimble, although third five times, showed considerable speed in every heat for three-quarters of a mile, but would tuen break ap and fall back. Willic was a great favorite from beginning toend. The lollowing are the SUMMARIES. FLEETWoop Pagx, Dec. 5.—Trotting match, $2003 mule heats, best three in five. PR eming? g- m. Alice Gray, to wagon. 2 1 1 1 J. Murphy's 8. g. Tip, 10 hai 22 TIME.

These were Mr. Frazee’s brown mare Lady Woods and Mr, Ellis A. Campbeil’s bay gelding Joe Platt. In order not to disappoint the owners of these horses they were allowed to trot, the association giving them the gate money anda small purse besides, The track was exceedin, heavy and sticky the irost having been in the ground, There were but jew present, and even those came to the sensible conclusion that “trot. ting nad better be suspended for the year.” Not a ‘foliar was ventured on the result of the event. phe Platt proved the winner in three straight eats, suMMaRy.
