Prom the N Y True Sun. i OBSEQUIES OF GEN'L. JACKSON. The city yesterday pretemted a grand spec tacle. The streets were thronged with au immense concourse of people,' including many strangurs front distmt parts of this State Btid from other States. The 'Military weie out in great stiengtb, and never looked better. Forty baud of music wee in the procession, nna also detachments of U. S. troops-frozn Governors Island and Foit Hamilton, The city was as hot as an oven. Refoie ten o'clock, the Park was crowded with mili tary companies and various incorporated bodies. General officers on horseback, and groups ef infantry might be seen here and there under the shade of the tine old trees. Citizens of ull classes wore appropiiale mourning badges. The march commenced from the Park at 2 pm, and tho head of the column returned to it in about three hours. The Odd Fellows were a very tmpotUnt pnit of the cortege, and turned cut in their most showy regalia. The Firemen made a fine display, and the Benevolent Library and Mechanic Associations were very conspicu ous. Among th objects of particular inter est were tho U. S. Flying Artillery, and a corps of a similar character belonging to the Eleventh Regiment of Aitilierv, whose ap pearance, equipments, and suldier-liko air would have doue houor to veterans. During the march, minute guns were fired at the Battery, the bells of the chutchns were tolled, and tho National flag was every where displayed at half imvt. Many shops and dwellings in the principal streets displayed the usual badges of mourn ing, and some were decorated with busts of the deceased Hero, By far the beat view of the procession was enjoyed in Bmadwuy. The way was cleared by a troop of cavalri ; and at the head of the column were General Gilbert Hopkins and his special aids on horseback, Then came the Light Guaid, under the command of Capt. -Edward Viucent, and the Independence Guard, commanded by Capt. John T Cairns. After the Lancers aud so.no troops of horso, tho main body of the Infantry marched in fine order, eight, ten, and in some cases, twelve deep. Broadway was kept perfectly clear; uud due order was preserved by. spectators. We heard a British officer say that the appear ance of the military was equal to that of the be-t European Regulars at a Review. Some of the companies, however, were really to he pitied, on account of the weight of dieir heavy equipment.'', and the warmth of their winter di cases under a burning sun. The First Brigado of Horse Artillery, commanded by Brigadier General Storms, moved along with their carriages two abreast. I be Scotch compnuy, in the Highland diess, contained nome of the finest looking men in the whole procession. They had two pipers who play ed tho Scotch bag-pipe in their best style, as tonishing many by iausic not often heard on this side of tho Atlantic- the Highland pi broch. Fitty-soveu mourning cariiages, contain ing some of the most distinguished men in the couutry, preceded the Funeral lrr n, which was drawn on a hearse by four white horses, dressed in crape. The American F.agle bent ever the Urn, and fiom it beak hung the crape by which the latter was covered. Foui Oriental looking grooms, dressed in turbans and loose trowsers, led the horses. A detach Uieul of U. States tioops followed as a Guard of Honr; and, nfter thorn, the Mayors of N. York, Brooklyn, Jersey City, and Newark. The Common Councils of these four cities, together with some of the clergy and several nvic societies, brought up the rear of tho Se cond Division. In tho Third Division wore lug Governor of the Slate, Ex-President Van Buren and the Attorney General, his son, Col Bankhead, tho heads of some of ihe State Departments, the gallant Capt. Hudson and about 40 other U. S. Naval officers ; State Senators; mem bers of ihe Housa of Assembly ; U. 3. Sena tors aud mambers of the House of Represen tatives ; the Grand Lodgo of the State of N. Yotk; the Presidents and Faculties of tho University and Columbia College; Members of the College of Physicians and Surgeons, and many other individuals connected with public bodies. The escort of this Division wm the City Gutrd, commanded by Captain McArdle, and accompanied by Kendall's Boston Brass Band. The Exempt Firemen, and the Firo De partment of ll city of New Ymlt, constituted the Founh Division. The banner of the Exempt Firemen was one of the most magni hcent that appeased. It vad n .rolH-letierprf blue silk, the staff being surmounted by a gild ed eagle covered with crape. The compaTiies appealed without their hre apparatus, and in citizen's dress. Not only their torches and trumpets, but een many of their banners were shrouded iu crape, so that it was difficult to read the inscription". The Jackson Hose Company h id an elegant banner, with these words We mourn our loss." The com panies turned out in full strength; and their Hppearance was that of well dressed gentle men, fully alive to the claims of decorum on so solemu an occasion. The Society of Tammany or Columbia Order, with their excellent band of music, led the van of the Filth Division. Thcu came the Independent Tompkiu' Blues, as an es cort, the Demociatic Republican General Committee, two or three other Committees ; and, finally, the Empire Club, with their ban ner, and a capital hand, succeeded by the grand car, representing the omb of General Jackson. It was drawn by four horses deco ded with crap?. Mourners marched on each ide; aud the inscription ou the ,omb wa tad one word, " Jackon." Tho Sixth Division confuted of the Inde pendent Order of Odd Fellows. They ap peared to excellent advantage, dressed iu f,,l regalia, and beating some beautiful banners w ith appropriate mottos. Tho- Civic and Military association of Brooklyn constituted the Seventh Division. Tho Brooklyn City Guards, commanded by Capt. Oln-y, were escort. This company made as tine appearance as any iu tho pio- cession. Among other bodies, we observed the Fire Department of Brooklyn, headed hy Chit-f Egniueer blrvksr. The Eighth Division consisted of nboul a dozen Benevolent Societies, together with members ot the American and Mechanics Institute. In the Ninth Division Were several Asso ciation of Mechanics and Tradesmen, and also the Representatives of some Literary So cieties, .; The Tenth, Eleventh, Twelfth and Thir teenth Divisious consisted chiefly f various Mechanics' Associations, which appeared in very different order from that laid down in tho Grand Marshal's programme. They were escorted by some compauies of military with bonds of music. We observed in the procession a magnifi cent omnibus, drawu by eight fine black hoises ; also a Wazeppa car, arawn ny iour greys. Tho appearance of the streets was remarkable- Every accessible awning aud brick pile was covered with boys, and every window, door-step, and house-top with men, women, aud children, eager to catch a glance of the passing pageant. At half past 5 p. m., an appropriate prayer was offered in the Park by the Rev. Dr Kiebs, aud Benjrmin F. Butter, E?q , commenced his eulogy on General Jackson, which, was listened to with marked attention. After the speakei had concluded, a reqoierr wai chaunted by a full choir of the Sacred Music Society, accompanied by Kendall's brass band ; a benediction wa3 pronounced by Rev. Dr Wiinwrigbt. and the ceremonies were concluded with a volley of three rounds fired. by the United States Troops. From the N. Y. Tribune. LOUISIANA NEW CONSTITUTION. We find in the N.'O. Commercial Bulletin of the 17th, the new constitution of Louisiana, as it ha been corr plated by the convention and will doubtless be ratified by the people. It fills six entire columns of that largo paper. We shall give a synopsis of its essential pro visions, vis : The three departments of the government, legislative, executive, and judicial, are to be kept entirely and furever distinct. No citi zen cau be at the same time clothed with functions pettaiuiu to two of them. The legislature is to consist of a Senate and House ol Representatives. Tho Seuato will consist of thirty two Senators, elected for four years. The House of not more than oue hundred nor less than seventy representatives, chosen for two years. New Orleans is to have four senators, elected for the present by general ticket, aud twenty representatives, chosen by nine districts. The parishes of Assumption, Lafourche Iuterieur, and Terrebonne shall constitute one Senate district electing two Senaters, St Landrvand Calcasieu another, electing two; the rest of the State is divided iuto single district, each composed of one large r two less populous parishes. The House consists, for the present, ol niuety eight members; twenty-four parishes choos ing one each ; eleven two each ; nine three each; St Landry five, and Orleans twenty : total 98. The executive department consists of a governor and lieutenant governor, each chosen fur four years. Each mast be 35 years of age when chosen, and must have been f ir fifteen years a citizon oi me vj mteu somes ana a res ident of the State. Tho governor cannot bo re-elected while iu office. No member of Congress, officer of the United States, or min ister of religion, is eligible to the office of governor or lieutenant governor. The latter presides over the Senate and has a casting vote (only) therein, and, in case of the death or incapacity of the governor, succeeds to his functions. Tho governor has tbe veto power, which can only be over-ruled by a Vote of two thirds of each branch of the legislature. The Secretary of Slate shall hold during a term of the governor. No minister of religion is digible to the legislature. The pay of members is fixed at $-1 per day, but no session shall extend be yond sixty days. Any action at a Inter pe riod is absolutely void. No member is eligi ble, except by popular election, lo any office whLk may have been cieated or its emolu- merits increased while he hs been a member The right of suffrage is extended and re stricted as follows : Every free white male, twenty-one years of age, who has heen for two years a citizen of the United States and a resident of (he State, is entitled to vote. Absence from the State fjr ninety days (ex cept of a continuous hou-eholder) interrupts and vitiates the acquisition of residence. No soldier or sailor of the United States, pau per or crimiuul, shall be entitled to vote. A State census is to be taken in 1847, pre liminary to a new apportionment ; the next in 1855; theuce every tenth year. The ses sions are to be held at New Orleans till 1S4S; afterwards at such place as the legislature shall designate, not less than sixty miles fiom New Orleans. Once fixed, this place shall not be changed except by the consent of four-fifths of the legislature. Flections are to be hld on the first Monday iu November, on each alternate year. Oue half of the Senators first chosen, (to be designated by lot,) go out at the expiration of two years ; and half a Senate, with a whole House, are to be chosen every second year thereafter. The legislature is to assemble on the third Monday in January, and to proceed to chose a United States Sen ator, if there be any vacancy, on the next Monday thereafter. The Judiciary is to comprise a supreme court, composed of a chief justice, appointed for eight years, at a salary of $6,000 per an num; and three associate justices, also ap pointed for eight yearn, with an annual salary ojl$5,5C0.

The legislature is to divide the State into judicial districts, for six jears, not less than twelve, nor more than twenty, in number, each presided over by a district judge, not I ss loan thirty years old, six years in the State and five a practitioner of law salary $2,500 each. The press shall be free. Emigration from the State shull net be prohibited. Tbeie shall be a Ktipaiiuteudeot of education, and the legislature shall establish free public schaols, to be supported . by fixation on propertv or .otherwise. - " THE IOE.TM HOW THEY GET TAR AND TUB- PEN TINE. The principal pursuit of the inhabitants in many places near the seacoast of ihe Southern Stales, is that of getting turpentine. It is made from the pines which there abouud, al most to the exclusion of every other forest t-ee. Many persons have no other means of a livelihood lhan this employment, espe cially those of the poorer classes. As soon as the sap begins lo run in the season, a notch is made near the root of the tree to catch the turpentine. This is called boxing the tree. Then it is dipped out gen erally with a simple gourd, iiito buckets, which are emptied into barrels on the spot. These are ready for market as soon as they arc filled. Another small portion of the tree is then pared off, aud the sap again descends freely into these receptacles. Under this operation a pine will usually live for six or sevn years, and is ued in this manner until it is thus de prived of i's bark and a small potin of its trunk, to ihe height of fen mr fifteen feet. One man, it is calculated, will attend to 700 boxes iu a season, and will collect from 100 to 130 barrels of turpentine in a year. The old 4rees, when they can yield no more turpentine, are cut up itrto small pieces, and then piled up in heaps to make tar. Which is only turpentine heated and smoked. The whole is then covered caretully with dirt, and a smothered fire is kept up beneath. As the wood slowly burns out, the tar runs beneath into gutters prepared for its reception. While burning, the kiln is carefully watched at night. One hundred barrels ol tar are usually made at one burning. When the kiln is burned out, the charcoal elil' remains fiom the wood, and it also becomes and article of use and value. How wisely are the provisions of Providence adapted to tho use of man ! This pine, row- ing as it does on the poorest of lands, affoids support to thousands of persons." How useful is the tree ! It produces the turpentine, and when worn out for this pur pose, tar and coal are obtained from it ; from the wood are made also the barrels to convey the tar and turpentiue to maiket. The whole process is carried on in the very forest where uature has planted this beautiful tree. The road in these regions often rtins for miles thtough the piue woods ; and I know of no sight more singular than for the eye to rest upon these trees, thus rising up on every hand, and naked and stripped for many feet from the ground. In their resemblance, the imagination pie tires many things. I have often beheld them silent and majestic, aud thought they resem bled an immense army drawn out in columns and at rest. At night, especially by clear moonlight, tho scene becones impressive. There they stood, naked, and whitej and solemn, like the tombstones in some vast graveyard, impressing tho mind with serious and profitable reflections. HORRORS OF THE LATE CHINESE WAR. Lieut. Ouchterlong, in his history of the late war of the English in China, gives the following description of a scone that awaited the F.nglUh troops at the fucces.it'ul storoiiug of Chi-uke-ang-too : 'In almost every deserted hou-e the children had been nudly murdered. The bodies of most of the hapless little children, who had fallen sacrifices to the euthusiasm and mad despair of their parents, were found lying within their houses, and usually within the chambers of the women, as if each father had assembled the whole of his family before con summating the dreadful massacre ; but many corpses of boys weie lying in the streets, among those of horses and soldiers, as if an alarm had spread, aud they had been stabbed while attempting to escape from their ruthless parents. In a few instances these roof little sufferers were found the morning after the as saulr, still bi-jathiug, the tide of life ebbing slowly away, as they lay writhing iu the agony of a broken spine a mode of destruc tion so cruel that, but for tbe most certain evidence of its reality, it would not be be lieved. In one of the houses, the bodies of seven dead and dying persons were found in o'ic room, forming a group which, for loathsome horror, was perhaps unequalled. The house was evideutly the abode of a man of some lauk and coogideratiou, and the delicate forms and features of the sufferers denoted them a belonging to the higher order of Tartars. On the floor, essaying in vain to put forth a spoou into the mouths of two chil extended ou a mattress, wriihing in the agon ies of death, caused by the dislocation of their spines, sat au old decrepid man, weeping bitterly as be listened to the piteoos moans and convulsive breathings of the poor infants, vhile his eyes wandered over the ghastly re lics ol mortality around him. On a bed near the dying chilren, lay the body of a beautiful young woman, her limbs aud apparel arranged as if in sleep. She was cold, and had been long dead. One arm clasped her tieck, over which a silk scarf was thrown, to conceal tbe gash in her throat, which had destroyed life. Near her, lay the corpse of a woman somewhat more advanced in years, stretched ou a silk coverlet, her fea tures distorted, and her eyes open and fixed, as if she had died by poison or strangulation. There was no wound upon the body, nor any blood upon her person or clothes. A dead child stabbed through the neck, lay near her; and iu the narrow varandah adjoining tbe room, were the corpses of two more womeu, suspended from the rafters by twisted cloths wound round their necks. They were both young one quite a girl ; and their features, iu spite of the hideous distortion produced by thre mode of their death, retained traces of their original beauty sufficient to show the lively mould iu which they had been cast. In the death ef the Tartar chief in com mand at this disastrous business, there was undoubtedly a savage grandeur, and it has had its due share of praise. But if other ac tions of the man were known, this particular one might lose something of its gloomy lustre. His name was Harliug. After haranguing his troops, he had mounted his horse, and, placing himself at their head, led them to the ground upon which their desperate attack up- CAJBiU.fl.flAJ on the 18iK and. 49th tegimenfs was made. Thence i seeing that the main defences of the town were in our possession, "aud that the day was irretrievably. lost, he returned to his house, and calling for his secretary, desired him to brin g bis official papers into a small room adjoining an inner tourt of the build ing, where, deliberately seating himself,, and causing the papers wiih a quantity of .wood, t he piled up around him, be dismissed the secretary, set fire to the funeral pile, and per ished in the flarnes. In tbe npaitment where this strange example of barbarian .heroism had been enacted, Mr Morrison found, among some heaps of ashes and balf-consumcd wood, evidences of tbe awful sacrifice which had been so determinedly consummated, amply sufficient to corroborate the tale of his inform ant. The skull of the general was yet un consumed ; and the hones of the thighs and f eet, though part ia lly ca Ic i u ed . r eta i ned enough uf their original form aud appearance to he recognized. The floor of the room was paved; aud tbe flarnes bad consequently not extend ed beyoud the pile of fuel. Thus perished this brave man, whose devotion to his coun try rendered him, to quote the words of Sir Henry Pottinger's proclamation, ' worthy of a nobler and a belter file."' 1M PORTA NT FROM AFRICA. The New Yoik Sun gives the following important letter Irom Governor Roberts at Monrovia. Government House, April i7, 1S45. Sir: Mr Davidson of the English schooner Little Ben, of Sierra Leoue, arrived here last evening' from Edina, and I understand, (I have not seen himV complains that the Col lector of Grand Bassa, seized a few pieces of cloth to secure the harbor dues of said schoou er, which Davidson refused to pay, on the ground bo says, that Commodore Jones has given notice lo British traders on the coa-st, such charges are illegal, the Colonial authori ties not possessing sovereign and indepen dent rights, are not authorized to impose Cus tom duties, and Iherefore should be resisted, lie has left for the windward I am told, to re port the case to Commodore Jones. 1 hope by the first vessel froth" the United States, to receive something definite from the Boaid, in regard to this subject. April 18. The crisis has arrived. Infor mation has this moment reached us of the seizure, in the haiboruf Grand Bassa, by an English man of war cutler of the Colonial schooner John Seys, owned by Major S- A. Benson of B.issa Cove. For pailiculars as far as they came to our knowledge, I beg to refer you to Mr Benson's letter to me, a copy of which is herewith enclosed. What pretext they will offer for justification of (bis gross outrage on the property of an in ofTeiisiye and defenceless peopl, is impossi ble for us to conjecture. I presume, however, it will be put on the footing of a reprisal for the seizuie of tho goods mentioned above; if so, bow contemptible the ' conduct! mud proves to a demonstration, the exi-tence of a plan to draw us into collision with the Brit ish people. An English trader, as admitted by himself, is instigated ny a lriiih m-er to come ammg us, to violate our Uws, attd if any at tempt isfcOiade to enforce them, they- make it a pre.text to seize a essel and cargo worth sev eral thousand dollars, as an indemnity for goods valued at twelve dollars, and without making any application to the authoiities lor redress. What is their ultimate aim, unless to put an end to Colonization to effect the destruction of the Colonies destroy our commerce along the coast, to givo British merchants (he mo nopoly, which is very likely or to drive US from the face of God's earth, I cannot im agine. I am sir, respectfully. Your obed't serv't, J. J. ROBERTS. Rev. W. McLain, See. Amer. Col. Society, Washington city. California. Ii is now nsceitained that this whole territory has declared itself inde pendent. The people have driven out tho Mexican authorities, aud have modeled a Re publican Government similar to that of tho United States and Texas. Matle Sugar. They are doing wonders with maple sugar iu Vermont, clarifying it, and rendering it as white aud sparkling as ihe best loaf. The Hostou Trau'scfript' says : We have been astonished to observe the great perfection and delicacy at which me of our manufacturers of sugar fiom the juice of the maple tree have arrived. A lump of this article, refined, clear, aud sparkling has been sent to us at made by Mr Hovey, of Berlin, Vermont, wboso residence is on the line of the Vermont Central Railroad, and who probably will see much of his beautiful manufacture transported across the road into other places. Sold at the low rate often cents per pouud, it ought to be in demand, and cer tainly is a Vermont production of a very avail able nature. March of Improvement. The Spartan of the 8th ult., published at Spartanburg C. H., S. C, says : The machinery . of two large steam engines passed through this place the other day, one to the Cow Pens Furnace, and the other to the Cherokee Iron Works to facilitate the manufacture of iron. A new Cotton Factory has lately been es tablished 1 miles north of this place. The machinery is new and on an improved plan, accomplishing more with the usual momentum. There have i ecently been several failures in the shoe and leather trade, but these mis haps are hot fairly chargeable f fhe cheapen ing of shoes and leather by the duty upon their importation, but rather to the excessive pro duction and competition in that brauch of business. Tbe low price of cotton can hardly bo put to the account of the duty upon impor tation, but rather to the immense supply which all our boasted home market afiords but slight vent for. Button Post.

The Tobacco crop is lo a considerable extent pronounced a failure. The young plants have perished with the drought, and even 9 good set now, would offer but a slen der chance for an average crop. Grass has also suffered pretty generally, and there is lit tle doubt that the supply will be shoit. .0 Thi hint my be worth the consideration of our farmers' and planters. Of our own crops, Rice has probably suffer ed more thnu any other. The prospect is very good iu some parts ; but on many inland swamps and on some rivers, the produce will be horl. Of cottdu it is too early to make prediction; but we should say ih general prospect is good. Charleston JVIercufy. White Chilprkn among the Osages. The St. Lo lis Republican le.it ns from a gentleman who resides on the State liue, near ihe Osage Indians, and whose word may be relied upon, that the Osages have now in their tribe about 20 white children. These children tho Osges purchased from the Ca manches, by whom they were stolen from their parents in Texas and New Mexico. Our informant states that such of them as have bfren seen by the whites are said tube spright ly and intelligent children, ot both seies, but generally have bceu takeii when so young as to have lost all recollection of their parents, homes, or the pi ice from which they were taken. Quite a stir has been created at Lowell by the introduction of a new cotton spinning frame which has just been put into operation there.- It is said to rS lire' but one-half the" power and will make more yarn and of more even twist at about two thiids the expense of s iho other kinds of frames in use. Marriage Extraordinary. A marriage took place in Statesville, i few days njo, which from its novelty, is worthy ot notice, us also the good example set by the patriot to all who have experienced the same conjugal difficulties. Mr Johu Marin Sharpe was re-annexed to his former wife aud partner, Mrs Lucy Sharpe, on the 9th June, by Wm Moore, Esq, having been divorced from each other ou the rlUth ol March last. Having been married ten years, the old ' slock of love" ran out, it seems. They di vorced, cotrrted and married again. Possioly a better star may guide their destiny through the f .t jre.
