the only exception to the strict privacy of the ceremonial. The Prince of Wales and the other royal mourners assembled in the Oak Room, but did not form part of the procession. They were conveyed to the chapel in private carriages before the coffin was placed in the hearse, passing through St. George's gateway into the Lower Ward. In the first carriage was the Prince of Wales, Prince Arthur, and the Duke of Saxe-Coburg. The Crown Prince of Prussia, the Duke of Brabant, and the Count of Flanders followed in the next; and in the others were the Dac de Nemours, Prince. Louis of Heses, Prince Edward of Saxe-Welmer, and the Maharajah Dhuleep Singh, with the gentlemen of their respective suits. Scarcely had they alighted at the door of Woolsey's Chapel, from which they were conducted through the chapter-room to the door of the Chapel Royal, to be in readiness to meet the coffin, when the first minute gun fired in the distance and the rattle of the troops reversing arms announced t

ate. Austria, Russia, France, Sweden, and Saxony, united in alliance to partition the Prussian territories. These allies had ninety millions of men in their dominions, and with ease could bring four hundred thousand to the field. Prussia had only six millions, who were strained to the utmost to array an army of one hundred and twenty thousand. Even with the aid of England and Hanover, not more than fifty thousand auxiliaries could be relied on. Prussia had neither strong fortresses like Flanders, nor mountain chains like Spain, nor a frontier stream like France. Its territory open on every side, composed of flat plains, unprotected by great rivers, and surrounded on the South, East, and North by its foes, the contest seemed utterly desperate, with no hope of escape for Prussia." Frederick began the contest by a bold stroke, which demonstrated the vigor of his determination and the strength of his understanding. He carried the war into the enemy's country, suddenly entered Sa

in the Yankee papers. The vote of the city in its better days was 18,000. The following is the vote polled on this occasion; First Congressional District--Hahn, 1,610; Durrell, 206; Greathouse, 343; Barker, 309. Second Congressional District--Flanders, 2,184; Bouligny, 136. The Yankee correspondent says: The election of Messrs. Hahn and Flanders has given great satisfaction to the friends of the Union. Both are uncompromising, unconditional Unionists, and were under a cloud during the Flanders has given great satisfaction to the friends of the Union. Both are uncompromising, unconditional Unionists, and were under a cloud during the reign of the Secessionists. Mr. Hahn, I believe, is a German. He must be immensely popular, seeing that he was nominated no further back than last Sunday morning by the Trust Delts. Up to that time Mr. Durell, the nominee of the Union Committee, was the popular favorite, and would have been elected had not Mr. Halm been placed in the field. The friends of Mr. Jacob Barker were of his election, but were disappointed. He is too old, however, and ought to give way to younger men at a crisis wh

falling to co-operate with his Southern colleagues. After the secession of his State he reluctantly left his seat, and maintained at home the position of a dissenter, abstaining from participation with his country and his fellow citizens in their struggle for defence. He remained at home, and, it is understood, cheerfully submitted to the Lincoln Government. In the election recently held in New Orleans for members of Congress we observe that he received the small vote of 136 against one Flanders, who was elected by a vote of 2,184. "So much for Buckingham!" Mr. Bouligny receives no consolation from the rabble row hectoring and lording it over his neighbors and former constituents. Disloyal to the cause of his own people, he is flouted by the vulgar horde who are tyrannizing over them and robbing them of their property. He has as little comfort in his isolation as Joseph Segar. Segar and Bouligny, if they are remembered long enough, will serve to warn men in after times of the sa

The greens and black for the President and the cheers for Vallandigham and peace were specially viscous. On motion of Mr. Flanders, the resolutions were adopted, after which Mr. Flanders, on behalf of the Committee on Invitations, read letters of regret for non-attendance from Hon Thomas H.

Seymour of Connecticut, Hon. James A. Bayard of Delaware, and Hon. Willard Saulsbury of Delaware, all of which endorsed the peace movement, and elicited unusual approbation. The speech of Fernando Wood was the boldest and ablest of the occasion. Its tenor may be inferred from the following reasons which he assigned why the war should cease: 1. The war should cease because it should never have commenced, in as much as there is no coercive military power in the Federal Government as against the States, which are sovereign, and in possession of all power not delegat
