Etc., Kt KtC' PRELIMINARY MOVEMENTS IN NEW YORK THE , ' " GREAT EVENT. No similar event of greater magnitude and interest, has perphaps ever transpired in this country, than the one which oar pen now essays to record. The obsequies of earth's distinguish ed sons, whether warrior, cheiftain or states man, have generally been celebrated- with all due ceremony. Napoleon Bonapart, despoiled and dethroned of an Empire, died after lonely years of exile upon the rock-girt isle of St Hel ena. A few years afterwards friends came, and gathering up his bones, bore them triumphant ly back to France. Though his wild and un controlled ambition had overturned kingdoms, trampled upon thrones, aud came ' near plung ing France and all Europe into such a chaos as not even Europe had ever before witnessed; yet when his remains were returned from their wave washed tomb to the midst of those who had once loved, or feared and trembled at his name and then almost ceased to revere it, both priest and peasaut united in every enthusiastic de monstration of welcome to his ashes. Every honor and homage was done them that could come from the heart of an impulsive and repen tant people. England honored the remains of Napoleon's conquerer Wellington with all the pomp and pageantry of an Empire. Though neither a warrior nor a battle-bred cheiftain, James Monroe's position in the ranks of statesmanship, was no less conspicuous, and no less illustrious. The mere mention of the celebrated "Monroe Doctrine" even now, sounds significantly to Johnny Taurus and the British Royalty and truthsftased upon the great law of nature and of nations, and as the invincible champion of inviolable right, President Mon roe ranked among the proudest peers in the realm of statesmanship. His character has been handed down to us unsullied, and the hon ors which have been attached to his name are imperishable. THE DEATH A NO OBSEQUIES OF MONROE IX 1831. After having been elected by the free voice of a powerful sovereignty to the highest posi tion which the nation knew, after having with unwavering fidelity administered the laws of the land, aud unflinchingly vindicated the rights of the people after having directed the des tinies of a Republic, which excited the envy of all Europe through eght years of trying aud inomentuous events after enjoying this high position, to the satisfaction, and winning the C&g'SS .t. " . a mighty people, who acknowl made themTndlesrrnTmffiie'teu? President was called from his country and his kindred, before the Throne ot Him who reigns over nations and their Rulers. His spirit like that of Adams and Jefferson, was summoned upon the birth-day of American Liberty. While the cannon's mouth was thundering forth the announcement that the day, which the blood and tears and sufferings of a nation had conse crated to Freedom and Patriotism, again had dawned, and its annual return was welcomed with every unbounded and brilliant demonstra tion of joy the spirit, of the patriot and up right statesman left its earth-perishing tenement for a home where liberty is sanctified and peace found in its perfection. It was on the 4th day of Jqly 1831. The body was interred on the 7th in the Cemetery on Second St. in New York City where it has rested until the present occasion. The announcement of his death was made in an appropriate manner in all the va rious judical, literary, legislative, commercial and corporate bodies in the city of New York. Ihese bogies, without exception the streets, minute guns were fired - from Fort Columbus, and the city bells tolled. "The stores and shops generally were closed, and many of the inhabitants along the streets had their building hong in black. The hearse which bore the body vas covered with black cloth, fringed with gold. The national flag reversed, hung from the centre panels; the hearse was drawn by four black horses, and from its top eight black plumes waved. After depositing the coffiin in the vault, the troops fired three volleys over the jjrave, and the procession moved out in the manner which it had entered. The coffin was of lead, afterwards inclosed in a mahogony case, which bore the following inscription on a silver plate JAMES MONROE, OF VIRGINIA, Died 4th of July 1831, Aged T4 Years. There in that quiet spot, through the .ston ishing progress and ; grpwth of a great city, through the commercial.revulsions and changes of more than a quaiterof a century, the ashes of the illustrious man have peacefully reposed. Now the band of patriotism and affection, comes to transfer them to the, soil which gave them birth. New York generously gives up the dust of the dead from her cherished keep ing, and Virginia receives back to her bosom the revered remains of her son. At first it was proposed to have the remains returned quietly to Virginia, by a Committee from Richmond. This New York would not permit, and she offered generously a regiment to go with them as an escort. Richmond res ponded with characteristic appreciations. A long correspondence by mail and by telegraph followed, which we have, neither th.e--tteS. space to publish. A'committee in New York with another from Richmond, were appointed to confer with each other aud complete the ar rangements. This was done with mntualsatis faction and to the acceptation of the public, and they arranged a programme for the occasion. Xfff YOP.K STATE TROOPS 1 the At deceased in New York wished as little ty as possible to be given tms part oi m cere monies. A few persons however repaiLfa to the Cemetery in 2nd Street about dajht. The carriage of Aid. Adams of New YorT-was there waiting with no person save the Jlriver half a sleep. Soon, however, several prrsons appeared. Among them were Col. LeeJessra O J Wise and Wm. Munford of Virginhy Aid. Adams, Hon C. Crolius.Gen. Wheat, Co Blow U. S. A. Mr Smith, Banker, Mr Bell c Va; Col. Jas. Monroe, nephew of deceased, nd a very few ladies. The duties were perforoed by Mr Wilson the Sexton, and his immedii(e as sistants, i THE CEMETERT AND THE VAVLT. J The Second Straet Cemetery is now in centre, almost of the great Metropolis. the time President Monroe died, it was beyond the limits of the inhabited cit", away h the si lence, quietude aud beauty of the country that bordered the town. From ts northern side the lovely green fields, in the usurious richness of summer, broken ouly by he rugged hills of Manhattan, stretched far fcyond the vision. Now it is in the midst of all hat weaith and ait and grandeur could erect. Blocks of first class brick buildings, dwelling of marble and granite fronts, and splendid Town stone resi dences surround it. Abou three acres of ground embraced in this Iittlt"city of the dead." It is a neat, tasteful aud beatiful spot, arrang ed with skill, and ornamente with refined and delicate taste, filled with finehady trees, droop ing shrubs and lovely flows, and protected from without by a substantii handsome iron feix-e.

This regiment, the National Guard, having so nnhlv volunteered to escort the remains of Monroe, made all due preparation and their j commanding officer issued the following printed order: Regimental Order No. 9.

Adjoining the tomb of Monroe is cne bear ing the name of that profound jurist, whose marble bust may be seen in the side wall of the City Hall court room, Thomas Addis Eai mett, brother of the devoted patriot, whose blood was consecrated in vain for the liberty of his land. Near by, and not far from the tomb of the Ex-President, is growing a beautiful rose tree full of. white flowers, and sending out from its soft tinted leaves, tipped with heaven-distilled dew drops, a delicious grateful fragrance upon the morning air.

Some of the smaller ones spread them selves upon the awning canvass along the shady side f Broadway, awaiting full two or three hours for the procession. As the afternoon ad vanced the vast concourse of people largely in creased. Before four o'clock, Broadway from the City Hall Park to Union Square was Hd ed each side with a dense mass of human beings. The writer of this attempted to walk np to 14th Street, but finding inconvenience, squeezed into an omnibus already full. It is said, that so general a manifestation to witness such proceedings, has not been seen for many years. POLICE. The poKce were very efficient in keeping or der along the line. People seemed disposed to beaas orderly as possible under the circum stances, and but few rowdies were taken charge Deputy Snpt.

The occasion is said to have been one of the most imposing ceremonies ever witnessed in that great Metropolis. From the residence of his son-in-law Samuel Govern eur the body was attended by a guard of honor, accompanied by his near relatives and friends, and placed upon a platform erected for the purpose in front of the City Hall, and draped with black. An appropriate eulogy was pro nounced by President Duer of the Columbia College, who recently died in New Y'ork. From there the body was taken to St Paul's Church, near the Astor House, the reading desk and pulpit of which were draped in mouru- g. Here the solemn burial service of the Episcopal Church was repeated by Dr. Wain wright and Rev. Bishop Onderdonk.

Demarest, Adjutant. The joint Committee of the Common Council ordered that the arrangements of the day should be under the Command of Brigadier General Wm. Haul. The meeting of Virginians June 30, at the Metropolitan Hotel was largely attended. Mr O. Jennings Wise, and Mr Wm. Munford, the Richmond Committee were present, and the latter made a handsome speech. Col. Wm. M. Peyton made a speech of much eloquence, and abounding with personal recollections of Mr Monroe, during the closing years of his ca reer. A series of eulogies illustrating the character, disposition, &c, of the great States man entertained the company till a late boar. The elegant badge worn by the Virginians du ring the obsequies was adopted at this meeting. THE TIME THE REMAINS WERE DISINTERRED. This ceremony took place at an early hour on Friday morning, and was conducted so pri vately that few were present. The members of the Press had not been officially notified, con sequently many of the new York dailies even were not represented. The gentleman from Virginia and the relatives and friends of the J. he exiiurf remains were then deposited in the new coffin, the lid was then laid upon it and screwed down the silver plate with tire inscription on it was removed from the old coffin and placed upon the new one. The old mahogony case was well preserved, no decay being visble except the loss of its once bright polish. The new coffin is black, and heavily mounted with silver. A black cloth was then thrown over it, and then it was conveyed to the hearse. The procession, small as it was, assumed the following order: Hearse.

APPEAREANCE OP BROADWAY AGAIN. If Broadway was thronged two hours before as mentioned above, what shall we say of it now as the great procession passed? Onr pen not tired with its task, will now fail for want of adequate descriptive power. Seldom, per haps never, did the streets contain such a mass of mankind big aud little, all sizes and all sex es; every condition and complexion; the gav elegant and fashionable mingling with the great uu washed and uncomed crowd. From whence did they cora? very street, lane and alley seemed to have opened a fountain, that poured fourth a living tide of eager but orderly people, for so large a concourse there was but little jostling and they aM seemed imbued with feel ings of respect for the illustrious dead. THE GORGEOUS REGIMENTAL DISPLAY. Iii the streets of New lork, a -more and imposing demonstration, probably appeared. The First Division of the Militia with their burnished arms, the Cavalry of the Tlwrd Regiment with their com manding appearance, the Seventy first Reg iment with glittering equipage, the Eighth as u guard of honor, and the Fourth, with their artillery equipments and brazen fieldpieces, pre sented a spectacle commanding impressive and imposing. The grand array of marshalled hosts with their brilliaut battallions each one bear ing also the sad emblem of mourning, and with slow, measured footsteps, marching to the sound of the muffled music, was a display striking etiect and magnitude, even for Broad way. TOLLING OF BELLS AND FIRING OF CANNON. . While the procession was moving along the j the street, the church bells, alarm and fire bells, sounded the funeral toll, and mi niteguns were discharged from Governors Island and the Navy Yard, until the cortege reached the City Hall. BLOCKADE BELOW THE ASTOR HOUSE. As the military moved down Broadway in a column, and occupied nearly the whole stroet, all vehicles were cleared out of it, between 14th street and Barnum's Museum A body of police kept conveyances from passing up above the corner of Park Row and Broadway, until the procession reached the Park. By this time there seemed to be a sol id jam and packed mass of oinnibusses, drays and conveyances of all kinds in Broadway, from me Astor iiouse aown nearly to the Battery. How they were to extricate themselves appeared beyond comprehension. HOW THE PROCESSION ENTERED THe PARK. The Seventy First regiment twelve abreast and two deep, by companies wheeled into a line and facing the City Hall, entered the Park. a troop or Cavalry was on their right. Aloii" iraih. kow tue balance of the military formed in open order.

APPEARANCE OF MAIN STRERT. Nearly every prominent building and all the public ones, as well as many of theprivate residences, were heavily draped in black and white. Wreaths of black with white rosettes overhung, in very many places. The National resign, wrapped with crape, was across the street becoming the irnitin KMn. nil onuua jjumid. xnc cnurcn bells rang out the funeral toll, aud minute gups were fired from the, Capitol Square, while the procession moved along. People crowded the sides of the streets to the curb stone and filled the bal conies. Upon the door-stepaand in the windows, unnumbered, forms and faces were seen, and in all those houses, (and there weremanv.) which contained babies, the dear little darlings were held up to get a sight of the magnificent proces sion, and displayed advantugeously to the ad miring gaze of the Manhattan Chivalry. ARRIVAL AND CEREMONIES AT HOLYWOOD CEMETERY. Upon arriving at the snot in the cemeterv he I designated to deposit the remains, the coffin was of f taken from the hearse and b me to the seD- ulchre, near which a large platform had been erected.

The sheet, after being printed on one side, in the usual way, is immediately drawn back and print ed on the other side, from this second form. One special advantage gained in thus drawing back the sheet without checking or changing the ordinary motion of any part of the press. The speed of tie press thus remains undiminish ed, while the amount of work done hv it doubled.

It had glass sides through which the coffin with its stars, wreaths, and orniments, were plainly seen. Upon top of the hearse, fourteen black plumes trembled in the breeze. It was drawn by eight grey horses draped In black. From their, heads nodded black anl white plumes. They were led by eight colored men in morning.

The procession was formed with as little delay as possible, and at the word of command it moved solemnly along in tne airection 01 Main street, to the heavy sound ot mutnea drums and almost dirge-like blasts of many trumpets. The soldiers marched with reversed arms, and bearing banners heavily with crape. A SHOWER COMES CP. Just as the procession started, a smart sprink ling of rain fell, to the annoyance and sorrow of The thousands who lined the side walk'3, and followed the carriages on foot. It was, as clouds, and the sweet heavens above were tinged with sadness ; and wished to mimrle their tears with earth pursuing mortals over thereraains, and to the memory oi departed virtue and greatness. BUT THE SUN SHINES AGAIN. The rain soon ceased to fall, the clouds began to pass away, and presently the sun with all its . - i. t j . i midday glory aua majestic sptenuor, suone again. Its glances rested upon the bright arms, and beamed upon tne guttering equip ments, and elegant uniforms of the different regiments. Its warm bright rays came out after the clouds and rain ; as to teach a lesson ges in i India Rubber Bands. Tndfa rnhl have been doubtless found handy and conven- j many ior minor papers.
