On the AMERICAN HOUSE was a flag at half-mast, and the decorations about the hotel were very tastefully disposed. The DIAMOND BLOCK on the other side of the street also appeared to good advantage.

There was an innumerable quantity of flags suspended in this quarter, and the show through the whole street was very imposing. JUDE SNOW & HILL, preeminently above others, attracted public attention, by the chasteness and propriety of their demonstration.

There were many more decorations in various portions of the city, which cannot conveniently be chronicled.

The following action and correspondence of the "Sons of New Hampshire," exhibit the energetic measures pursued by them to honor the memory of their late friend and President.

At a very full meeting of the Sons of New Hampshire, holden at the Revere House, on Saturday evening, Nov. 6th, Hon. MARSHALL P. WILDER presiding, the following resolutions were reported, and unanimously adopted:

Resolved, That in the death of DANIEL WEBSTER, the State of New Hampshire has lost the most eminent of her sons, the United States their greatest statesman, and the world one of its most distinguished jurists.

Resolved, That while in common with others we have venerated him for his majestic intellect, honored him for his wise and patriotic counsels and great public services, and share in the general grief which pervades the whole country upon the occasion of this national bereavement, he has been endeared to us still more by his private virtues, the kindness of his heart, and the warmth of his affections.

Resolved, That this afflictive dispensation of Divine Providence, more especially as it has removed the officer appointed to preside at our proposed festival, renders that festival inappropriate at the present time, and that, as a token of respect to his memory, it be postponed.

Resolved, That we respectfully tender the expression of our warmest sympathies to the family and relatives of Mr. Webster, and that the Chairman be requested to transmit to them a copy of these resolutions.

The following resolution was also passed:

Resolved, That the officers who have been elected, appoint a suitable time and place for holding the festival in the year 1853.

A vote was also passed to attend the obsequies of Mr. Webster in this city.

Inbitation to the Executibe and Legislature of New Hampshire.

To His Excellency, NOAH MARTIN, Governor of New Hampshire :

DEAR SIR:

BOSTON, Nov. 22, 1852.

The "Sons of New Hampshire," resident in this city and vicinity, having resolved to attend the obsequies which are to take place in Boston on the 30th instant, in memory of their brother and President, the late Daniel Webster; and having noticed that the Executive Department and the Honorable Senate and the House of Representatives of their native State propose to join in these ceremonies; therefore the undersigned do most respectfully invite the aforesaid honorable bodies to unite with our association on this occasion.

With sentiments of the highest consideration,

Per Order Executive Committee.

Your ob't servant,

MARSHALL P. WILDER,

Chairman.

Reply of His Excellency, Gobernor Martin, to the above.

MY DEAR SIR:

COUNCIL CHAMBER, CONCORD, N. H. }

The very kind and polite invitation, through you, of the "Sons of New Hampshire, residing in Boston," to the Executive Department, the Honorable Senate and the House of Representatives of the government of New Hampshire, to join with them, as a distinct body, in the solemnities to be celebrated in your city, on the 30th inst., in commemoration of the illustrious deceased, Daniel Webster, has been received, and considered, and, in response, I am happy to say, has been most cordially accepted by all these departments.

It seems peculiarly appropriate that we should specially unite with your organization in paying a tribute of mournful respect to the memory of one who was New Hampshire's by birth, Massachusetts' by adoption, and the Union's, the world's, by greatness.

With the highest consideration,

I am your obedient servant,

To Hon. M. P. WILDER, Boston, Mass., Committee, etc.

NOAH MARTIN.

Death of Mr. Webster.

On the 30th of November, 1852, a public Eulogy was delivered in Boston before the Municipal Authorities and the inhabitants generally, on the Life, Character, and Public Services of the late DANIEL WEBSTER. The Sons of New Hampshire invited the Legislature, then in session in Concord, to attend the public services, and become their guests. They accepted the invitation, and both branches were met on their arrival at the Lowell depot, by the Sons, marshalled under the banners of their respective counties.

Obsequies.

The subjoined extract, taken from the Boston Journal, will give a fair illustration of the general interest and deep sympathy evinced by the Sons of New Hampshire in the obsequies, Nov. 30th,

In Memory of

Daniel Webster,

Their late President.

In accordance with the previous arrangements, the citizens of Boston, with those of their fellow citizens from other places who saw fit to join them, united in paying their tribute of respect to the memory of the patriot and statesman, DANIEL WEBSTER. The obsequies were arranged in much good taste, and were carried out to the satisfaction of all. The weather, though chilly, was not uncomfortable, and thousands thronged the streets to witness the mournful pageant.

The first matter of interest was the

ARRIVAL OF THE NEW HAMPSHIRE LEGISLATURE.

The Council, Senate, and members of the New Hampshire House of Representatives, assembled in the Capitol, at Concord, yesterday morning, at six o'clock. But few of either branch of the government were absent.

On Monday afternoon, the Select Committee reported to the Legislature, that in accordance with instructions, they had waited on Hon. Franklin Pierce, who had charged them with an expression of his gratitude for the invitation to join the Legislature in attending the obsequies of Daniel Webster, at Boston; but that engagements he could not obviate precluded him from accepting it.

Governor Martin arrived in Concord on Monday, hopeful of being enabled to attend the funeral ceremonies; but an obdurate illness, of several days duration, compelled him to resign his intention late that evening.

The cars left Concord at a quarter past six o'clock, and after a very pleasant journey the "assembled wisdom" of the old Granite State, accompanied by numbers of citizens, reached the Lowell depot, in this city, at nine o'clock. Here they were met by the "Sons of New Hampshire," with their Chairman, M. P. Wilder, at their head. The President of the New Hampshire Senate, the Executive Council and the Legislature, were then introduced to Mr. Wilder by Mr. J. H. Wiggin, of Dover, Chairman of the New Hampshire Legislative Committee on the Resolves concerning the Death of Daniel Webster. Mr. Wilder addressed them as follows:

Mr. President of the Senate,

and Gentlemen of the New Hampshire Legislature:

In behalf of the Sons of New Hampshire, resident in Boston and vicinity, I bid you welcome to this city, and to the State of our adoption.

The afflictive dispensation of Providence which has assembled us together this morning, and the objects of our meeting are so well known to all as to need only a brief explanation from me.

A mighty one has fallen! Our elder brother, New Hampshire's favorite son, is no more! All that was mortal of Daniel Webster, the great American expounder of constitutional authority and national rights, has been consigned to the bosom of his mother earth!

The loss to us, to the country and the world, is irreparable. The whole nation mourns; our city is hung in the drapery of woe, and "the mourners go about the streets."

New Hampshire claims the honor of Mr. Webster's birth, and among the millions who are afflicted in the general bereavement, none, I am sure, are more sincere mourners than her sons. As brethren of the same family, we receive you with true fraternal affection; and we unite our sympathies, and mingle our tears with yours.

But in this hour of our trial and sorrow, let us not forget that our loss is his unspeakable gain. While we mourn, let us thank God that he was spared to us so long- that he was enabled to do so much for us, and

for the cause of universal freedom and humanity, and that his sun was permitted to go down unclouded, and shining in the greatness of its strength.

Gentlemen, it is not my province to pronounce his eulogy; that duty will be performed by abler men and more gifted lips. Daniel Webster is dead! We shall see that majestic form no more! But his fame is immortal. It is registered on the hearts of his grateful countrymen. Yes, and it shall be transmitted unsullied and untarnished through all coming ages; and when the monumental marble shall have crumbled into dust, it shall “still live!" It shall live forever!!

Hon. John S. Wells, President of the Senate of New Hampshire, then replied as follows:

Mr. President and Gentlemen,

"Sons of New Hampshire: "

The representatives of the people of New Hampshire have postponed, for this day, their official dutics, that they may join the citizens of Massachusetts in doing honor to the memory of him whose birthplace, like yours, was surrounded by the wild scenery of our mountains, but whose fame is limited only by the bleak regions of ignorance and barbarism. We thank you, gentlemen, for your kind civilities to us on this occasion, and trust that the impressions of this day may induce in us a warmer love for our native State, and a more ardent desire for the preservation of our common country.

At the conclusion of Mr. Wells's remarks, he, together with Messrs. Moses Eaton, Jos. H. Smith, Samuel Butterfield, James Batcheller, and Russell Cox, of the Executive Council; Hon. Geo. W. Kittredge, Speaker of the New Hampshire House of Representatives, the Executive Committee, Members of the Senate, and others were personally introduced to the President, Officers and Marshals of the Sons of New Hampshire, and a very general introduction took place.

Mr. Wells, with the Executive Council, Senators, etc., took seats in barouches, provided for them by the Association, and a procession, led off by Hall's Lowell Brass Band, was formed under the direction of B. P. Cheney, Esq., Acting Chief Marshal, (in the absence of Col. Hutchins, confined by sickness,) and the guests of the Association were escorted through several streets to the State House. They were here ushered into the Representatives' Hall, where they met Gov. Boutwell and Staff, and the Members of the Executive Council. Hon. Mr. Wilder then introduced to His Excellency the Hon. Mr. Wells, and the New Hampshire Legislature, who were welcomed by Gov. Boutwell in the following remarks:
