NAPOLEON’S FUNERAL. The latest English ami Parisian papers arc filled with the details, of , the gorgeous funeral pageant of the 15th ofDeccmber, on which day the body .of Napoleon was depos-. ited, in the Hoteldes I validcs. The weath er was intensely cold, and to this circum stance some of the journals attribute the comparatively peaceful and quiet manner in which the mercurial Parisians behaved on the occasion. No doubt the prudent pre cautions of the. police authorities and the imposing'display of hiilitarjTorce had quite as muclrinflucnce as the cold weather. ■At nine o’clock in thcfiuuruing of the 15th the signal gtm for the commencement of the ceremonies was fired.

Tlmrsday lB4l- At length, the car was ’ seeh-Mlie, mighty car drnwn hy .16 black horses,.covered will) gold housings—the car brilHarit beyond com pare, and yet neither deficient in frisle-nor void of mournful semblance, Andhere.pef l haps was the most beautiful sight of the day. The central road, filled with troops, and the procession advancing between the cdllossnl statutes, just describc(|, separated.from one another by urns emitting a lurid light, while the back ground was filled bn cither side'by the multitude shut up in the immense am phithcatrcs provided for -the occasion,-and by numerous masts, from which tri-colored streamers were gracefully Boating in the air, formed a sight repjete with such beauty and interest, lliat “ihbsfe who sayv can sure ly ne’er forget” r . As the car passed, each head was uncov ered; and although the shouts of “Vive Na poleon! Vivej’Rmpercur!’’ which mingled with the cries of “Vive le Roi! Vive Prince de Joinville, 1 were few between, a certain degree of emotion prevailed, and many an eye was suffused with tears. The car was preceded by the Prince de Joinville, attended by-his staff and ‘2OO sai lors of the Belle Pouter At half past two a 'royal salute amfouheed' that the car,.had reached the gate of iUcJnvnliilcs. A great struggle occurred here to-obtain a glimpse of the coffin as it, was borne .by thirty-six sailors into the Cour Boyalc of the Jnvdlides, Where the Archbishop of Paris in his robes and all his clergy waited to receive it. THE CHURCH OF Tllr. INVAr.IDEs/ The interior of the cliufcli was filled at an early hour by the persons who came in car riages, and were allowed to.go.in by the southern entrance. Thn.sc who went on, foot and entered by the gateway of the esplan ade,- found nearly all the.'seats, occupied crals with their aides de camp, "and the bus tle of the orderly officers announced tliaj the royal cortege from the Tuillcries was at hand, and a salute of 31 guus-ushered in the arrival of the King. Thu-ilrums in the nave heat h royal salute and the archbishop, pre ceded by the. clergy, advanced towards the end of the have, as if 40 receive his Majes ty ;'but there was some mistake in this-part of the ceremony, for the procession before it reached' the great door, was slopped and had to'return. The King and. the royal family did not come up the nave, but went at once to die dome. His Majesty wearing the uniform of the . national guard, took his seat on the throne prepared for him, to the right of the altar. Near, theJCing were the't>rlnces and his majesty’s aides de camp. On the left of the altar was the archbishop of Paris;-vvitb the bishops assisting—the Cure des Inva lides and clergy. -In an enclosed scat near the king were the queen, the princesses and ladies in attendance. Under the dome, a round the catafalque, (he ministers and inarr shells were stationed. In (he left branch of the transept were the members of the cham ber of deputies and on the right " were (he and members of the council of state. In ti e two enclosed.scats were the judges and officers of life Courts of Cassation and Accounts. Next to these on’the right were the members of the Cour .Royale, the Coun cil General of. the Seine,—i.tnd the' Munici pal Council of Paris, haying, at their' head the, perfect of the Seine and the perfect of police, the staff officers of the national guard and (he army and (he council of the Admi ralty. On the left were the members of the University, the Institute, and other Jcarned bodies, and the Tribunal of First Instance and Commerce, (he staff of (he Hotel des Invalidcs, perfccls'and Mayors Of depart ments, ,&c. &c, . “ - A little before three, two guns in quick succession, and 1 then 19 others, announced the arrival of the imperial coffin at the. en trance of the Hotel. The archbishop imme diately went with his clergy (o' receive it, and to sprinkle it with holy wafer. At three precisely the orchestra began a solemn inarch and the clergy re-entered the nave chanting, and moving slowly'towards the dome. . At this moment the excitement was 1 intense—- the musie died awnyt thcre wns a dead si lence, throughout the church, and immedi ately there 1 was seen the imperial coffin cov ered with its velvet and embroidered pall, on which was thc imperial crown veiled in ci-ape, borne on the shoulders"dPthe sailors and some non-commissioned officers'of; the army, surrounded with a : closely pressed throng ofsailors, with the young-Prince be hind, the pall bearers at the angles* and a crowd of officers' following,’ which moved up (he ijiurch iat a vcfy rapid rate.

' *' '• New Hove, Jan. Sth, 1841. ‘ The. flood on-the Delaware has been the highest, ever known. Reigle’s Bridge, J 2 miles below Easton, came down arid earned away three reaches of .Centre Bridge, and three of the New Hope Bridge, on tlie Jer sey .side.: ■’ Taylor’s Bridge wen toff entirely, before they.came ddwh. aml likewise half of that at Yrirdfcyvilly; The Canal at Erwin ;wa~-brqktf otiftr' jtfl hanks duct is broken away. At New, Hope, (lie water was four or five feet higher (Ran oyer before known, andtvitbin eighteen inches of the bridge. It stood four’feet deep in front’ of the brick tavern. The large wheels built by the state’to feed the canal at Wells’Falls, arc both 'gone. The, Lock Factory near there has escaped; with little injury.— Houses, barns, saw-mills, stacks of grain" and hay, were swept along by the terrific torrent, which carried dismay and destruc tion in its train. George Fell, a store-keeper at Centre Bridge, was on the part that went off. He constructed a float of plank arid pushed away from the wreck. On approach ing New Hope, four miles below', a boat was put'ulf, but the ice ran so thick that it tould not reach 'him. The boat ran under the bridge and narrowly escaped being wrecked. Fell, by lying fiat on" his raft,'went under the bridge without injury, but notwithstand ing (he deep sympathy manifested by the hundreds on shore, it was impossible to give him any aid. Horsemen were despatched down the river to give itolice and get. out boats in advance to rescue him, but it was not until he reached Yardlcyvillc, a distance of sixteen.miles, thathe. could be relieved. No lives have been lost that we have heard of—several persons are missing, but arc sup posed to he on the other side of (lie river, with which we 'have no communication at present. . ' • , . The-cost-of- repairing thc-Ncw Hope Bridge will not exceed 6 or $BOOO, and le%s, if the lumber can be found;, the arches being clamped together with iron, will scarcely separate, ami the timbers being perfectly sound, may be replaced. The reaches at Mitchell’s were shorter, and the repairs will be still less expensive, the pieces of both being unliurj. ; , ■The, wafer was highest abnut 2 o’clock, P. M,,. the Bth, and this morning dt 8 o’clock, it had fallen but seven inches—no more dam age done. There never was'such a flood on the Delaware. It. was. really, an .awfully sublime spectacle, - but l cannot attempt a description. Extract of a Letter, dated Bethlehem, Jan.Sth, 1841. . *'' • Alliacohfusionlmre.
