POETRY. For the Democrat. To Miss . I love thee yet, and dearer far, Art thou to mo, than gems or gold; Oh let me look upon thco now, For my poor heart is sad and cold. How could you treat tho heart with scorn That fondly lov'd thee thee alone, And when I sought to know the causa Why speak in such unkindly tono. But it is past, the dream is o'er, And I have wak'd to feel tho pain, Of hopes long cherish'd blighted now; And hope I ne'er may dream again. Yet when I gaze, as I have gaz'd, Upon thy calm and placid blow, The thoughts and feelings of the past, Bow down my weary spirit now. Oh I had visions once as bright As those which angles only knov, So puro so sweat so full of hope, Which made my heart a heaven below. But now alas ! that heart so blcss'd With joyful dreams of love and light, Is chang'd into a dreary waste, And vanishe'd are those visiona bright. But think not though them's nonobut tlioe, Can givo my wounded spirit peace That I will kneel to you again For all thou hast of earthly bliss, No, sooner than I'd be that thing, To ask thee for thy love again, I'll lay rno down in misery, Aud be, tho wrotched one I am A.

By the packet ship Oxford, Rathbone.we have received scvon days ialer intelligence from England. Tho principal piece of news is the splen did pageant in Parris called tho Funeral of Napoleon. All tho English papers are filled with the particulars. Tho weather has bsen very cold in Eng land, with much snow. Bonatarti;. Napoleon landed at St. Helena Oct. 15, 1815; his body was carri ed thence Oct. 15, 1810. The weather has been intensoly cold in Paris. This prevented a row when the Napoleon ceremony look place. INTERMENT OF NAPOLEON'S RE MAINS IN PARIS. The great pageant of interring the remains f Napoleon in tho Invalidcs took place on Tuesday, 15th December. The whole line f the procession from tho banks of tho So'nio to the Hotel dos Iuvalides was adorn ed on bolh sids3 with military trophies, and a tnoro magnificent pageant, all the accounts agree in saying, has never been witnessed even in rans. from tour in tlio morning undeterred by tho coldest day that has been experienced during the present winter in France, thousands proceeded to the several advantageous positions which different lo catities presented for tho viewing of th procession. At nir.o o'clock tho first gun was fired, on the banks of the Seine, at Courbcvoic where a park of artillery was stationed This became tho signal for the commenco ment of the proceedings of the day. From the temple, erected on the left bank of th rivef, the Abbs Coquereau and a uuraerou clergy, in full canonicals, then issued an proceeded towards the steamer La Dorad wlucli had been brought close up to a woo den esplanade, forming c commnnicatio between the shore and its deck. His Royal Highness tho Prince do Joinvillo met them as they approached between two lines of troops and, after tho exchange of salutations turned towards tho vessel Iiued by the sail ors from La Belle Poule, a body of whom proceeded to raise the coffin, and transpor led it to the temple, the priests going before chaunting, according to tho usage of the Catholic church. Ths remains of the Em peror were deposited there for two hours the religious rites which were thero per formed, having lasted thus long. Tho im menso concourse oi people who were as semblsd at the spot, viewed this portion of the proceedings in solemn silence, the roar of artillery alono sounding through the at mospherc. Wo subjoin an account of tho procession at its principal stages. ESM.ANADB OF THE INVALIDE3. At an early hour, tho immense amph theatres erected on each siue ol the avenue leading from tho quay to tho principal en trance of the Hotel des invilides, began to receive those whom fortune had favored with tickets, and although the number of tickets delivered amounted to 30,009, there was amplo accommodation for at least 10 000 mere. In spito of tho piercing cold which provailed,and thelikelihood of snow which felt more than once: though but slightly, during the day, all those provide with tickets wero present at their post some even as early as eight A. M. althoug the procession was not expected, even by the most sanguine, to reach tho Hotel des Invalidcs before two P. M. so great was the desiro to obtain a glance, not of the re mains, but the car which contained the re mains of him who had raised tho military glory of Franco to such a hcight,and whose tyranny had been expiated by a wretched death in a foreign land, severed alike from his country and his family, and atlende but by a lew lailhliil loiiowers.who adherici to their master, oven in his fallen fortunes i . Honor to their names ! une or these gal lant servants General iJortrand, was present K nd was one of the principal attractions of the day. Another was expecfed to havo been there, General Montholon. His no- blo letter, addressed a few days since to the French Government, supplicating tho per-1 mission to pay anew tho last sad duties to that master whoso exile he had shared, hould, according to many, havo procured im that painlul pleasure, even had his at- tendanco at the ceremony entailed tho ne cessity of a pardon. This, however, was not tho opinion of tho government, for no General Montholon was perceived amid the plendid throng of dignitaries who prece ded the temains of Ncpoleon to their last homo. Seveial hours elapsed before the funeral car mado its appearance, and it was painful to remark how little dignity was preserved in tho interim. At length, howover, the funeral car was perceived on the other side of the river, and some order was restored;thc troops that had piled their arms hastened to snatch up their muskets ana to form their ranks. Previous to this a large bird of prey was obser"ed hovering over tho Esplanade, and this, by some, was immediately converted into an eagle. Had this occurred when Rome was in her infancy, it would doubt less have been considered as an omen, or that Jupiter had sent his ccrial messenger, tho bearer of his thnndsrbolts, to welcomo the departed hero previous to his translation to Olympus. As it was, it exorcised a cor tain efl'cct. At a little beforo one, the head of tho pro cession was seen coming slowly forward and tho sight became gradually more and more beautiful. Hero it is necessary to give a short description of the ground lead ing from tho quay to the principal entrance of the Invalidcs. It consists' in a long straight avenue, at the bottom of which with its back to tho water, stood tho collos sal statuo ot the emperor: tho avenco was lined with tho statues of the principal raon archs that Franco has produced, and that Immortality has already claimed as her own. These stood in the following order; Macdonald Mortier Massena Lannes Kleber Deaaix Marceau Tauban Condo Henry IT Francis I. Duguesclin Charles VII. Louis IX. Hugh Caper Charlemagne Lobau Jourdan Ney Kellerman Latour d'Auvergno Hotcho Duguay Trouin Turenne Louis XIV Bayard LouiB XII. Joan of Aro Charles V. Philip Augusta Charles Martel Clovia It certainly was a noble idea to make Na poleon pass through this long line of he roes and kings, who seemed as it were, to welcomo the mighty doad the equal of the highest in rank; tho superior of the most celebrated in renown, to the illustrious asy lum chosen for his mortal remains. At length the car was seen tho mighty car, drawn by 15 black horses, covered with gold housings tho car brilliant beyond compare, and yet neither deficient in taste void of mournful semblance. And hero perhaps was the most beautiful sight of the day. Tho central road filled with troops, and the procession advancing between the collossal statues, just described separated from ono another by arms omitting a lurid light, while the background was filled on either side by ths multitude, shut up in the immense amphitheatres prorided for the oc casion, and by numerous masts, from which tri-colorod streamers wero gracefully float ing in the air, formed a sight replete with such beauty and interest, that "those who saw can surely ne'er forget." As tho car passed, each head was uncov ered; and although the shouts of ' Vive Na poleon ! Vivo l'Empcreur 1' joined in the cries of ' Vivo le Roi 1 Vive Prince de Join villo !' wero few and far betwen, a certain degree of emotion prevailed, and many an oye was suffused with tears. Somo sensation was excited by a body of non-commissioned officers on horseback, 87 in number, bearing flags with the names ol the 87 departments of franco, including Algeria. These flags wero surmounted by a gold eagle with out-stretched wing, and gave to tho passing scene tho air of Roman triumph. Tho foremost of this body was tho officer bearing the flag, rep- esenting Corsica, tho birth-placo of Napo- enn. Tho car was immediately preceded by the Prince of Joinvillo, on horseback, in the uniform of captain of the navy, attended by his staff, and accompanied on each side by 200 of the sailors of tho Belle Poule, tho frigate despatched by the French Gov ernment to St. Helena, to bring home the remains of the Emperor. It was half-past two when a salute of twenty-one guns announced that tho funer al car had reached the gate of tho Invalids; tho sailors of the Belle Poule instantly com menced their preparations to descend tho body from the car. A great stiugglo was here made to obtain aglympse of the coffin as it was borno by thirty-six sailors into the Cour Roy ale of the iuvalides, where tho Archbishop of Paris, attended by all his clergy was waiting to receive it. THE CHURCn OF THE INVALIDCS. The interior of the chiircx was rilled at an early hour by the persons who came in carriages, and were allowed to go in by th southern entrance. These who wont on foot, and entered by the gate-way of the esplanade, found near ly all tho seats occupied when they got in. At two o'clock tho arrival of numerous genorals with their aides-de-camp, und the bustlo of tho orderly officers, announce that iho royal cortege from the Tuileris was at hand, and a salute of 21 guns ushered in tuo arrival ni. tlio Knia- J.liA ilrnmia. the nave beat a royal salute, and the arch bishop, preceded by the clergy, advanced towards tho end of the nave, as if to receive his Majesty; but theie was somo mistake in this part of tho coremony, for the pro cession, beforo it reached tho groat door, was stopped, and had to return. Tho king and the royal family did not come up tho navo, but went at onco to the dome. His Majesty, wearing the unifoim of tho national guard, took his seat on the throne prepared for him, to tho right of the altar. Near the king wore tho princes and his majesty's aides-de-camp. On the left of the altar was the archbishop of Paris, with tho bishops assisting tho Cures-dos-Invalidcs, and tho clergy. In an enclosed near the king were the queen, the princes ses, and the ladies in attendance. Under the dome, around the catafalque, the min isters and marshalls were stationed. In tho left branch of tho transept were tho mem bers of the Chamber of tho Deputies, and on the right wero tho peers and members of the Council of State. In two enclosed seats wero tho judges and officers of the Court3 of the Cassation and accounts. Next to these on the right, wero tho mem bers of the Cour Royalo, the Council Gen eral of tho Seine, and Municipal Council of Paris, having at their head the prefect of police, tho staff officers of tho national guard, and tho army, and the Council of Admiralty. On tho left were tho members of the University, the institute, and other learned bodies, and tlio tribunals of First Instance and Commerce, the staff of the Hotel dos Iuvalides, prefects and mayors of departments, &c. A little before three, two guns, in quick succession, and then 10 others, announced tho arrival of tho imperial coffin at the en trance of the Hotel. Tho archbishop im mediately went with his clergy to receive it, and to sprinkle it with holy water; At three precisely, tho orchestra began a sol emn march and the clergy re-ontered the nave chanting, and moving slowly towards the dome. At this moment tho excitement was intenso the music died away; there was a dead silence throughout the church, and immediately thero was seen the impe rial coffin covered with its velvet and em broidered pall, on which was tho imperial crown veiled in crape, borne on the should ers of the sailors, with the young princo behind, tho pallbearers at tho angles, and a crowd of officers following, which moved up the church at a very rapid rate. The effect of this at its first coming into tho nave, whon every ono testified their ro- pect by a piofound stillness, and all the troops presented arms, was ono of the most imposing parts of tho ceremony. Before tho coffin had however, reached tho entrance of the com;, tho solemn march was again renewed, und at length burst out into a glo rious strain of triumph. Nothing could bo finer. Th& Princo do Joinvillo then presented tho body to tho King, saying ' Sire, I pre sent to you tho body of tho Emperor Na poleon.' The King replied, raising his voice, I roccivo it in the name of France.' General Athalin carried the sword of tho Emperor upon a cushion, and gavo it to Marshal Soult, who presented it to tho king, His Majesty then addressed General Ber- trand, and said "General, I charge you to place this glorious sword of the Emperor upon his coffin." This tho general thea did. The musical part of tho ceremony was as efficient as the united talents of the great performers who look part in it could raako it to be. The solemn march played by tho orchestra alone, on the teturn of the clergy, and the entrance of the body, was magnifi cent. After this, the first voice heard was that of Grisi herself and it filled with its compass tho echoes of the immense edifice.' Lablache's deop notes were heard to pecu liar advantage. The service lastod altogether about an hour, but on its termination a great number of the persons who had been in the aisles WOveaTOwmnne-nomenir-SetrrntrT'ara; que and the splendid decorations of that pari of the edifice; and though tho last offi ces oi ;nc cnurcn were onucd oy lour o -clock, it was after fivo beforo the edifice was finally cleared. It is calculated that there wero 7000 persons in the interior of the church on this occasion. Tho Infanta and Infanta of Spain, with their family, wero present. Tho number of national guaids of Paris and the banlieuo under arms yesterday, is estimated at about GO, 000; the divisions of infantry and cavalry, the troops of engin eers and artillery, tho non commissioned officers, veterans, gondarmcric, municipal guard, sapcurs, Sec. presented an offeclivo force of at least 20,000. Mchemtt Ali. Tho definitive offer of submission on the part of Mehemct Ali has been confirmed. The terms of a convention wero agreed upon and signed at Alexandria, on the 27th of November, by which tho Pacha undertakes immediately to ovacuato Syria, and to restore tho Ottoman fleet, being guaranteed, in return, tho hereditary gov ernment ofEgypt.

Sho lately left a neighbor's a few miles distant from her residence, about G o'clock in tho night travelled home mado that night a pot of soap, knit tho whole of the leg of a stocking for herself, set out in tho after part of the same night, and travailed on horse back five miles to a neighbor's house, whoro she left her beast, returned home on foot, citplnriug on her way one possum, and tree ing tlirco coons, which, sho afterwards said, sho would havo shot if sho had had a gun -making, in the courso of the night, by her skill and judging in traffic, four dollars in trading.
