How innocent is all her ways,
Ami with what mildness is sho crowned;
Her smiles are as the shining rays,
That glitter from tho sun around.
Her check is dyed with crimson hue,
Tho crimson of the blooming rose;
Her speech is also soil and true,
And beauty doth her ways disclose.
And with what caution dotlrahe (road,
Ami with what fear to give offence, .
Her path with opening flowers are spread,
And all her ways are innocence.
If all would wear her brilliant crown,
And in hor flowery paths would stray.
Wo all would not so often frown.
But smoothly waft us on our way.,
The young doth all her ways admire,
The old enamoured with her charms;
Behold how'plain is her attire.
In all her ways she never harms.

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. From flic hour.of

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. The effect
"of this" firsf'fcpming into thc.pavo, When cv-"
’ciyone testified tlieirrespectsby a profound
stillnesß. and all the troops presented arms,
was one of the most imposing parts Lof /the
ceremony.' Before the coffitidiad, however, 1

We subjoin all the important particulars;
of the -flood,-which have reached, us since
.our last: " . ■.
• WchaYe been favbred with the subjoined
letter from Nctv Hope, which furnishes very
interesting particulars of the-effects of, the
flood in that quarter: . '
*' '• 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.

Ito remove tlieirgoods. Our friends in Goal
j Street had tbcircoriimunication with the rest
of. the town completely.cut. off by the-watei
in the Norwegian, which cpmplctely inunda
ted nearly'all the. bordering on the
stream. - - Part of the otnb'ailkitierit‘ of the
GrcciiwOod Carial has been styept away be
low the-Aqueduct,—arid the- houses op the
Island were all completely surrounded with
water.- The .families from some were car
ried-out when the water was middle deep.
The wafer'completely surrounded Clemens
& Pnrvin’a Steam Mill," and (be Wharves
below |hq Mill were washed into the Basin.
About 50 yards of 1 the embankment Of the
Navigation Company’s Canal has been swept
'j away opposite" Tumbling Ru« .Dam, ami a
ibout 100 feet of the ‘'embankment opposite
jC. Lawton’s Wharf, carrying;; away his
) schutes. and the old boat house, and the old
.Bridge- connecting the new turnpike with
Mount Carbon Was also carried off. The
tow path bridge opposite Lcwisportis carried
■nway. nud a brchch has been in (lie Canal at
Adams’. Locks. Dribelhis’ Dam is also in
jured. ’ ■
The.Scliuylkill Bridge below this borough
is so much injured that it is considered dnni;
gerpus to pass over it.
At the first dam above Auderiricd’s Mill,
the water broke out & completely surround
ed the Luck House,.carrying away .the sta
ble, undermining the foundation of the bouse,
and the Lacks also, the walls of both of
which .will, probably fall down—about 100
yards of the embankment of."the Cadal lms
also been carried.away. A sick person in
the Lock Houric was rescued with great diffi-'

~ Mr. John Poll’s dam, at his Iron Works,
on the West Branch, has been swept away,
and Ids Works considerably injured. ' .
At Schuylkill Ilaftgn, the damage baa al
so been, very great. Several of the Coal
Whary.cS; have been washed away, and the
balance filled'up. Mr, Louis Dougherty, we
learn. lost several railroad Wagons, The
Coal has also disappeared from the Wharves'.
The Tumbling Hun Dam narrowly escap
ed from being carried away—the water had
made a! passage inside the vying wall of the
water-way—fortunately, it was discovered
in time—otherwise the dam, would have been
swept away, arid Mount Carbon would have
suffered severely*
The destruction of Boats has been very
great, and the whole course- of the streams
jn this neighborhood presented a frightful,ap
pearance yesterday. Fortunately no. lives
were lost as far wo can learn—but there have’
been sume narrow escapes.
The Reading Gazette, in referring to the
calamity at that place, has (he subjoined:
On the morning of Thursday the river lay
placid, coated by a thick bed of ice. To
look over its smooth surface, and to wonder
that no rise was yet perceptible, was the first
thought.of each oqe. It lay calm as wind
and.weather before a hurricane. In (he af
ternoon, as if despising its narrow, bed, it
commenced rising—towards night it Came
increasing, sweeping and rushing.in its mad
career,'and threatening to carry all, before it.
About two hours past midnight it was at its
maximum height—from 15 to 20 feet above
low water mark I—thus it remained until . ?
o’clock. . .

' REPORT OF THE SECRETARY OP
' THE TREASURY.;
The nmiuat Report of the .Secretary of
the Treasury, says the N. V. Eve.; .Post, U
a satisfactory document in:regard" to tlia •
The ordinary receipts fur (lit year 1840,
exceed seventeen millions of dollars. Add
to these certain receipts from the deposlto
banks, from (he fourth bond of the U. Sr
■ Rank, and from-the-issue of Treasury notes
and the entire aggregate of means for the
year is stated at $28,834,541.
The current expenses for - the year bare
been $22,483,349. Add to this the sums
paid to redeem treasury notes, am).SIOO.OOt*
for the funded debt of the District of Col
umbia, and the payments,apd expenses of
the ycar amount to 826,643,656, leaving a 1 ,
balance of more tban.a niillioil aiul a haltiii
tile Treasury.
The exports ef the year arc -computed "at
$131,571,950, an amount which exceeds
those of the previous year by more than two
millions, It is a larger amount than was
ever sent out of the country, and the differ
ence will appear still greater when we con?
sider that the great staples have been lowered
The imports during the same year have •
1 been $104,805,891, less than those of the
preceding—year-by-fifty—seven-millions. —
This falling off has; of course occasioned a
falling-oil - in the revenue derived from .tire
customs."' The statements and views of tire
report on the .subject of our'imports and ex*
ports are highly interesting.
The entire receipts into the Treasury for
,the year for ordinary purposes, it is suppo
sed, will amount to $19,250,000. To these'
must be addcd-fuur- millions aml -a- half-foe
the redemption of Treasury notes, ami the
sum of 814.9,300 on account of die funded
debt of the cities of the District of ColUntr
bia, oinking an laggregate expenditure of
$23,899,200 for the year 1841. /
This wmuld leave bctwccn>eight and nine
hundred thousand dollars indite' Treasury
at the end, ofnext year—a balance not large ■-
Woodbury dhinks, to be cohve
nientor useful, fie therefore suggests that ‘
Congress should revise the appropriations
and make soine reduction of their am'6unt, .
Should Congresß.'howoycr. 'bh imllsposed to
this, tlrfe- next expedient would be the impo
sition of some .additional duties—a measure,
which, it'wiji be seen he dees not advise.—
He has,-'however, givefi the suiycct his coil- ■
sideration, and in case that Congress should ’
deem - .that, measure expedient, he Is prepa* -
red do submit a plan for the purpose.: • 1 , -■ ..
The mode of keeping the public mcticy-,
established at the last session'of Congress, '■
has answered the expectation of the Treks-' ‘
ury Department,—in other words the inde
pendent treasury scheme ’works' well. Mr.,
Woodbury suggests that authority should bc
given to, appoint a principarderkin lh'exify-“'
of New-York with a proper;compensation, - ■
that some provision should be tnade for per*
forming the doties of receivers of public inov i
ney in'case of n vacancy by death or other
wise,: that flic punishments prescribed by
thff independent treasury, law. should'be.
tended: to all disbursing olhccrs, and a few'
other changes. , ,V.' .
