ftbe City The Oreat Funeral Procession.
To-day will be one long remembered by the cltl
cens of Philadelphia. Time, in its ever-rapid night,
M fast carrying off those staunch, noble-hearted men
who, when their country was struggling In its In
fancy, boldly went forth in her defense, and added
lustre not only to the pages of It history but also
rowned their own nanioB with Imperishable glory,
it Is to the last earthly remains of one of the most
eminent of these that the people of Philadelphia are
called npon to pay the last sad tributes of respect,
and, from the extensive arrangements made, there
to every prospect that, in point of numbers and
jwlemnity, the funeral pageant or to-day will far ex
ceed any of its predecessors, with but a single ex
ception that, of the late President Lincoln.
TBS SERVICES AT BORDENTOWN.
Early yesterday morning the reruainj were placed
epen for the inspection of the people of Bordentown,
to whom the late Admiral had endeared himself by
many acts of charity and kindness, Gray-haired
men and staid old women, themselves nlmoBt on
the brink of the dread dnknown, Jostled with the
crowd and seemed to have been imbned with, for
the time, new life, In order that they might catch the
last glimpse in death of him whom they revered and
loved, and the reports of whose noble deeds of valor
had Be often sent the life blood tingling in Joyous
courses through their veins. Men whose counte
nances were indicative of anything but kindly feel
ings, whose worldly buffeting had dampened, as it
were, tie natural Impulse of the heart, broke forth
in unrestrained sobbings, and for the time being the
vnan was unmanned; gray-haired matrons, too, who
hadr.oaxed their children, now fathers and mothers
' themselves, to sleep by the recital of the valiant
deeds of "Old Ironsides,"1 bedewed their glasses with
tears, and wept freely over the one they In common
loved so well. The body of the deceased was laid
ti state in thu parlor of the family mansion, and an
1in moose throng kept pouring in and out all day ;
people for miles and miles around gathered to the
spot as though it were a secoud Mecca, and the
various roads and by-ways leading Into Bordentown
were peopled from early dawn uniil after dusk.
The body was luld out In the full-dress uniform of
a Hear Admiral, and enclosed in a metallic colli n.
At 4 o'clock the funeral service was held at the
house, in the presence of the family and the citizens.
In accordance with the request of his son, there was
bo sermon, and the service was conllncd to the
ritual of the K.plscopal Church. Rev. Mr. S. Coxe
and Kev. Mr. V. Pcttit, officiating in reading the ser
vice of tlie dead and the prayers. Rev. Mr. Coxe
was the former pastor of the church at Bordentown,
but is now stationed at Newton, Long Island, anil
came to Bordentown for, the purpose or assisting at
the funeral ceremonies.
It was expected that at the close of the services,
which took place at 4 o'clock, the guard or marines
weuld be in readiness to CRcort the body to Philadel
phia. Owing to delays in consequence or grounding
in the stream, the escort did not reach Bordentown
xintH oVilock, when it was decided to take the cars,
Instead of the boat, on the passage to the city. The
scene at this time was a most Impressive one. Night
had already fallen, and the house being situated
' npon a high hill, it was found ditllcult to transfer the
Remains to the depot.
The-escort was under the guide of those who knew
the path and who used lanterns to light the way.
' There was no music, no drums, but quietly and with
out any or the ordinary pomp and ceremonials or a
military display, the body was carried by the sailors
to the train. The guard consisted of twenty marines
and eight sailors, the whole under tho command or
-Captain J. o. Corbin, with Lieutenant-Commander
Rowland and Lieutenant Meade in eliurge or the mu
rines and sailors. The body, with the guard or
honor, left Bordentown in the train, to which a spe
cial car was attached, about, 7 o'clock. The son of
the deceased and a number or the personal friends
-also accompanied the remains. From Walnut street
. wharf to Independence Hall the body was tinder the
same escort, and in the hall was placed on a pe
destal erected for it and draped with tho American
flags. The hall was hung with black, and all the
prominent objects lu the room were clothed with the
name emblems of mourning. The colli a was so ar
ranged that the face of the deceased was visible
through the glass covering the face. On the lid was
a silver plate containing the inscription : "Rear
Admiral Charles Stewart, U. S. N. Born July as,
1778. Died Nov. 0, 18C!."
When arranged in Independence Hall, the coflln
had npon it the chapeau or the deceased, as well as
the sword presented to him by the State or Penn
sylvania, . and containing the Inscription: "Pre
sented by tho Commonwealth of Pennsylvania to
Captain Charles Stewart, March 6, 181(1." Last even
ing the body was In charge of a guard or marines,
and many persons visited it, the concourse pouring
hi until a late hour.
TDK SCENE AT INDEPENDENCE nAI.U
As early as 8 o'olock the crowd began to Rssemhin
- &L illSSnikVeTiharit 'wm with the ut-
- most difiloulty that the strong force of policemen
on duty preserved proper order. Ills Honor
Mayor Fox has detailed rrom the force Uve hun
dred picked men, and they are posted all around the
neighborhood, some on Chesnut street, a double line
of them guarding the hall-way, another double line
in the hall proper, and the remainder are scattered
through Independence Square. The detail is under
the command or High Constable John Curley. The
force on Chesnut street is employed in farming the
assemblage into a single column, a performance at-
- tended with much difficulty, every now and then
the outside pressure being so great as to break the
line, producing great coniusion.
SCENES IN THE CITY,
All over the city the flags are hung at hair-mast,
and many of them are draped lu the symbolic em
blem of death. Some of our prominent business
houses have been closed since morning, and many
others suspended business operations at noon. The
children In our public schools were all dismissed at
H o'clock, and the day seems to be given over to the
one main object the funeral. Our streets are
thronged with pedestrians, and all the avenues lead
' lng to the neighborhood of the State House are
densely thronged. All the banks, banking institu
tions, and public places closed at noon, and there ap
pears to be a general observance of the day. The
best of order prevails, and the persons whom we
meet seem to enter into the iuipressiveness of the
ccaslon. and desire to add to its solemnity.
Everything that could be done to make this a most
memorable event has been done by those in charge.
THE HALL FKOPEK.
The body Is ltld In state directly In front of the
statue of Washington, by the side of which hangs a
line oil portrait of the deceased ; the end of the colli n
points towards the old bell of Independence and the
ead towards Chesnut street; at either end of the
coftln, upon which lie the chapeau, sword, and sash
of the deceased and a United States flag, are posted
two marines, whilBt scattered around the room is a
number of the other members of the force, with
their arms at rest ; the crowd passes in and around
the eotlln, catching a glance at the features of the
deceased through the glass plate, and winding past
depart through the southeast window of the room,
-rbicu has been transformed Into a temporary door--way,
steps leading up from the inside and down into
the square; they then leave the square through the
frateway opening on Library street. The walls of

HONOR TO THE ILLUSTRIOUS HEAP.
Judge Ludlow this morning adjourned his court
In respect to the memory of Admiral Charles Stew
art, and ordered a minute to be made.
THE COI.OKED TROOr OK INFANTRY,
known as the Constitutional Guard, will take part in
the obsequies, under command of Captain Cooper.
Wn at ouu Promenades Reveal To a thinking
mind nothing is more repulsive than gaudlncss,
nothing more despicable than tawdriness, and, yet
of late years both have walked hand-ln-hand, and as
if it were, gained sustenance from each other. In
the days of the Roman Kmpire the people thereof
vied with each other in the display of that with
which nature had blessed uud favored them. Styles,
fashions, and modistes were tilings unknown and
unresorted to, the hair was left to Its own growth,
and the shears were never used thereon except as
means or punishment. Wearing-apparel was a thing
of secondary consideration; but with the steady in
crease of years these things changed, and soon the
idle and illiterate sovereigns of Europe, seeking for
means to dispose of the rapidlv accumulating wealth
in their coffers, chose to Invest It in useless and
flimsy apparel. Leading this class were the females.
But it was left to the women of this, the nineteenth
ceuturv, a period rendered Illustrious lor the rapid
and glorious strides ol science aud art, to gain the
sublimity of ridiculousness in dress.
Our grandmothers, and the mothers of some of ns,
'tis true, lavished money freely in the purchase of
dry goods, but only to secure the most handsome
and endurable fabrics that the looms of the manu
facturer could produce, ami once having secured
these she rested satisfied. But the majority of the
women of the present day pursue directly the oppo
site course. Now the sole aim appears to be to cast
aside nature's beautificatlons, and establish in their
place something more attractive by means of a su
perabundancy of dress. The peacock is a bird of
handsome plumage, yet its Mesh is worthless. So
the plumage of a woman of the period may be entlc
ing,but the same stamps the mind as shallow.
Beauty does not consist or all the colors or the
rainbow blended together without the slightest de
ference as to the mode or their arranrenioit. Moithrr
h ..a.i. in i in ut coats aim iibniilv observant
padding. Y et the women of the period seem so to
think. The young (Quakeress, whose nights are
spent In the midst of a happy family circle, clad in
her plain gurb, presents to us as great a contrast to
the woman bedecked In finery, and powdered, aud
painted, after the previous night's riotousness, as
does gold to dross.
These reflections were caused by u half hour's view
of the passere-by on Chesnut street. We remember
the time, and It is not far back, that the distinguish
ing mark between the pure and the impure was the
style of dressing, but we must confess that from
what we have seen it would puzzle a Solomon -now
to Judge. It has long been acceded that tho woman
who lives by sin choses that part principally to sati
ate an overweening desire for display. In this the
members of her sex who occupy the higher sphere
are rapidly following, and the consequence is that,
like mixing milk anil water, the purity of both is de
stroyed, and a fair resemblance of each is all that is
left. For to-day, in nine cases out of ten, the wire is
no more distinguishable from the mistress than the
mistress is from the wife, so far as one can deter
mine from their appearance upon the promenade
Nor is this an; ine evu uoes noi scop nere, tor tne
pernicious example of the ciders pervades the minds
or the younger, and being by nature apt, the seeds,
Uiat may perhaps lead to depravity, soon take root.
We ask in all candor, is it not time for the women,
wives and mothers of the present day to stop in
this their sinrul career, and reflect? Think er the
evil, mind-distorting example you are setting; think
of what you are subjecting yourselves aud your
children to, independent of physical ailments and
deformities; think how your hearts would throb,
your pulses beat, and your blood tingle, were you te
hear the remarks of those pests or the world, unfor
tunately created In God's own image and likeness,
styled men, who rejoice in the application of the
term blase; think now yonr;whole nature would
revolt at being placed in the same category with the
harlot who perchance sits beside you In some public
place! for we can assure you that your gaudlness
and tawdriness lay you open to Just such compari
son; and, thus thinking, resolve to change your
ways, and devote the surplus cash that thus finds
avenues te hie itself away in relieving the miseries of
the poor during the coming winter.

A Wholesale Arrest All About a Coat. Last
night there was a bull at the American Mechanics'
Hull, Fourth anil George streets. Among the at
tendants there were just forty-two young fellows,
who came all the way from Munayunk. All things
went along merrily until two clock this morning,
when one of the "fellers" missed his overcoat. He
secured the services of Police-Sergeant Heiss, who
made an effort to discover who the thiet was. Tho
crowd was "mum" as mice, and tho Sergeant told
them that the culprit must be produced. However,
these Maeayunkein wouldn't think or doing such a
tiling as to "squeal" one of their number, and seve
ral of them quietly told the Sergeant to go to a far
hotter place than that in which ho was. He waited
patiently for some time, and tho thief not being
forthcoming, ordered all in arrest. He was again
directed to visit the place to which the wicked of this
lire go, but two furniture cars were provided, and
the forty-two were taken to the Btation, where
Alderman Eggleton gave them a hearing. They
were then lined for a breach of the peace.
Death op a Most Estimable Citizen We are
sorrowfully compelled to record the death of James

he was justly termed by his numerous friends,

ceed to Cwpe St. Nicholas, llaytl, for the
health of tins ship's company and for exercise,
several of the olllcers and many of the
men having had returns of what is generally
known as C7mgr"H fever, which hail been contracted
during the long stay of the ship at Asplnwall, I. H.
C. In consequence, however, of the sickness of the
Commander and his Clerk, J. J. Lyon, and tho
general ill health of the crew, the departure was so
far hastened that we lett I'ort-au-I'rinco on the
afternoon or the lifith of October, leaving the public
bills unpaid by order of tho Commander, It being
his intention to return within a week. At
the time of our departure from Port-au-Prince,
the Commander was afflicted, as was thought, with
nervous prostration, and his clerk with intermittent
fever. The Yantic arrived at Cape St. Nicholas early
on the morning of the UOth of October, and the exer
cises were commenced, but about noon of the 27th
the Surgeon reported to Commander Abbott
that his clerk, J. J. Lyon, had
the yellow fever black vomit and could
live but a few hours. Commander Abbott immedi
ately gave me orders to take tho Yuutic north at
once, which 1 did, leaving the harbor of Cape St.
Nicholas at 2 1'. M., October 27. J. J. Lyon, Cap
tain's Clerk, was reported dead by the Surgeon at
4-20 P. M., and at 4-K P. M. he was burled with the
usual ceremonies, in latitude 10 deg. 88 mln. and 43
seconds, and longitude 73 deg. 23 mln. and IB seconds
west.
All the precautions within my power for the preven
tion of contagion and panic among the crew were
immediately taken, but the surgeon reported that
Captain Abbott was ailccted by the epidemic, yellow
fever, and would probably die. At T'05 P. M. Com
mander Abbott was reported dead by the surgeon,
upon which I assumed command, and at 7--40 P. M.
the body of Commander Abbott was buried with
usual ceremonies in latitude 20 22 30 N., and longi
tude 73 25 W. on the morning of the 2Sth of October;
therefrom seven cases or fever reported, one being
an ottlcer, and one man only being reported
dangerous. At llfo A. M. on the llrst of November,
William Mchnn, ordinary seaman, died or yellow
fever, and at 12-30 P.M., was buried with the usual
ceremonies. This was the last death, and being now
in a cooler climate the health of all seemed to im
prove. To-day, at 2 P. AL, the Yantic arrived at this port.
On tho 31st of October experienced a heavy gale
rrom the northward. Hove the ship to tor thirty
hours. The remainder of the passage clear weather
and light northerly winds.
The Health Ottlcer of this port has placed the
Ynntle In quarantine, which Is to continue until the
12th instnnt.
I have the honor to be, very reapactrully,
