The entire procession, including the military, numbered about eight thousand, and occupied about one hour in passing a given point. Its general appear

ance was striking and impressive. The universal display of the emblems of mourning upon the banners, and upon the persons who composed the cortege, combined with the plaintive, sweetly saddening strains of the numerous bands, contributed to produce a solemn impression upon all who witnessed the pageant. The assemblage of people at every available point for viewing it was very great, and added much to the effect of the general display.

THE PROCEEDINGS IN FANEUIL HALL.

The head of the procession reached the Hall at a quarter to two o'clock, and the Mayor, and Orator, and Chaplain entered the Hall at precisely two. The Germania Musical Society struck up, as they entered, the Dead March, from Handel, which they continued until the procession was all in. This occupied until twenty-five minutes past two. When full, the Hall presented a most beautiful and imposing appearance. The galleries were crowded with ladies, except the front one, which was occupied by the Handel and Haydn Society. The entire interior of the Hall was covered with black cloth, most tastefully festooned. That, covering the ceiling overhead, was gathered in a circle at the centre-piece, which was marked by a large silver star. From this centre-piece, the drapery extended in heavy festoons to the corners of the galleries. Extending around the entire front of the galleries were two lines of festoons, fastened at each post with a tasty rosette of black. The posts were covered also with black cloth; that on the lower posts was fastened on each side with a rosette, and that on the upper posts was gathered up and dropped in a graceful fold. The windows were covered with heavy thicknesses of cloth, preventing the entrance of the least ray of light, and the panels between them were covered with the same material, hung in fesAround the front of the galleries, inscribed in letters of gold leaf, and reading from left to right, were the following inscriptions:

toons.

"Our country, our whole country, and nothing but our country!"

"Liberty and Union, now and forever, one and inseparable."

"We turn to his transcendent name for courage and consolation."

Directly over the centre door, in front of the clock, and hiding it from view, was erected an alcove, in which was placed BALL'S splendid bust of the departed statesman. Towering above the alcove was the large eagle which graces the Hall, and beneath, on the front, were the dying words of Webster

"I still live!"

the power and truth of which is being felt deeper day by day, as the rapid wheels of time hurry us on from that eventful morn on which they were

uttered. The letters were large, and edged with gold leaf, and showed to fine advantage.

The arrangement of the rostrum was excellent. A platform was built up even with the top of the stationary rostrum, extending the entire width of the Hall, and in front, so as to cover the reporters' places. The front of the platform was handsomely draped. On it were placed sofas for the accommodation of the invited guests, furnishing seats for about two hundred. In the rear of the platform, was HEALEY's beautiful picture of Webster, replying to Hayne, very deeply shrouded in mourning drapery, and so lighted as to give it the most splendid appearance we have ever seen it present. It seemed almost as if we could hear the words of eloquence flowing from his lips, as we gazed upon his loved form. The arrangement of the drapery around the painting was very neat and appropriate. Beneath the painting was the inscription in letters of silver

[ocr errors]

"We claim him for America."

Upon the platform occupied by the orator, and at his right hand, was placed upon a highly polished marble pedestal, KING's beautiful and true bust of Webster. It is of the purest white marble, and in point of execution is faultless. Its presence could but add beauty and grandeur to the We understand that this splendid work of art is to remain in Faneuil Hall, it having been purchased by a number of gentlemen, and presented to the city for that purpose.

scene.

On the right and left of Healey's painting, were seen the portraits of Washington and of Faneuil. In front of the gas lights were two large candelabra, the light of whose wax tapers shed additional lustre upon the Scene around.

In each corner of the galleries was placed an American flag, surmounted by a gilt eagle, and heavily and tastily draped. The entire decorations were of the most chaste and appropriate character, and add another laurel to the well-earned reputation of Messrs. RUSSELL, HENNESSEY & PHELPS, by whom they were designed and put up.

After the Hall was filled, Rev. S. K. LOTHROP, the Chaplain of the day, ascended the rostrum, and delivered an impressive and eloquent prayer.

THE EULOGY.

At twenty minutes to three o'clock, Hon. GEO. S. HILLARD was introduced as the orator of the day, and delivered a most beautiful, eloquent and appropriate eulogy on the life and character of the distinguished statesman.

Upon its conclusion, the Chaplain of the day pronounced the benediction, and the company, in silence and solemnity, left the hall.
