we do not think the calculation tn some of tAe morning papers exaggerated, that ilandred thousand persons wit messed them in whole or in p;sff.

 The. Common Council and an escort Iof cafslry accompanied the body, with fhe reI.tions and rne.srsssseciis, from tic house Of Mr. GouYefneaF, in Prince street to the front of the City Hall, where it was placed on all elevated bier. Ata Iittle after 1 o'clock, William l. Duer, Esq. President of Columbia Col i lege. delivered a brief address from a

 ss.: ss:i ;;..fiii erected uei,i1d tiIc bier, to q [ vast number of citizens assembled in the Park. The following report of it furnished by morning paper:-

 Feiioao- Cltize'ts.- Another anniversa- " of our naiionalindependencehas been consecrated by the death Of another Of those patriots who assisted to achieve it-of another Of those statesmen who, after long course of publcsssersice, attained the highest office in the govern. ment. to the foundation Of which he had contributed by an early devotion ot life and fortune to his country.

 Diid this event stand single in our an- nals-were 1t uneonaeeted Ill our menl- ories, with the deaths on former aunl- Fersary of the same glorious day-of two of his illustrious predecessors even then q similar removal ol tie de ceased would have been deemed admon- tofy, and would have commanded q solemn and appropriate notice. But the following as it does that signal union in their fight from this world of the im- mortal spirits of Adams and Jefferson, the departure of .nonroe must impress US with an awful sense of a Divine inter- position, and awaken a liyelier grati- Jude for inc favor and protection Of aH oyerruling Providence.

 Amongst our national blessings we may indeed cnumerate not merely the lives, but the very deaths of men like him whose mortal remains now lie be fore us. For his life was spent ii use- fitness to his countFy-atd his death imparts greater sanetity to her instl- tutions. Ii would be superiuous, tei, low. citizens, to detain you with a Edrra tive of events, which are inter@oyeT l with siile hiotoss of tiiis nation, and which must needs be familiar to all who have watched its prosperity, CT who value 1t: renoWn. Ii is enough OH this occasion to remind you that in the various pub lie employments in which the deceased was engaged for halt century, he wa: distinguished for the ardour of his pat riotisn, and the uprightness Of his in tentions, for .valor and perseverance q. q soidier-for industry, caution, and f. delity, as statesman. Andzaithoagl before he reached the highest station te which he could he elevated by the favor or gratitude of bis country men, be had aot escaped the political controversies of the time, yet party spirit had then SC far suhsiaed, and political ad.ersaFies had become so far reeoneiled, that he was first chosen President against $ merely nominal opposition. and was re elected by an unanimous vote. His ad ministration of that high office Was no only characterised for its temperate ant impartial spirit, but it exhibited Jusi anC liberal views of national policy, ant was signaliZed by the firm attitude ane enlightened principles which it assumed ln regard to the South American Re publios, and in support of the integrity and inyiolability of the Western Con tinent.

 tthe expiration ofthe usual term 0 service he retired permanently iron public life, hut the time lIe had devoted to It had prevented him from bestowins that attention to his private affar 1 which was essential to the comfort 0 his declining years. With broker l constitution, and impaired fortune, ht sought for repose in the bosom of hi 1 family, and looked for remuneration tt the justice of his country-from the one he received all the consolation whicf this world could afford---from the othel a grateful acknowledgement of b., claims.

 Upon us, however, fellow-citizens ahd upon our prosperity, he still ha' claims which money cannot compensate which time cannot impair-nor deatl extinguish. We owe to his memory z lasting debt of gratitude for the bloot shed in his youth in defence of our lib erties-for the vigor of manhood ex hausted in his efforts to promote our na tional interests--and for the experienci of his. age devoted to extend and per petuate our political welfare and sccuri ty. And whilst we commit his body te
