FUNERAL OF COL. TR-UMBULL.
The luutral solemnities of this ‘venerable
Soldier, Statesman and Painter, tool: place
in the Colloge Chapel, and the remains were
subsequently placed, like those of the Pa-
triarch Abraham, in the same tomb with his
wife, ‘Sarah.’ The Faculty of the College
with the relitives and friends of the deceas-
ed, and pall bearers, assembled, atthe house
of Professor Silliman, at half past one o’cock
and proceeded with the corpse to the Chap-
el. Prol. Fitch delivered an appropriate
address froui Gen. xxv. 8, 0, and l0th ver-
ses, and then the College choir beautifully
performed an anthem.‘ The Sermon was
historical, with the exception of its introduc-
fory pissages, where the character of Abra-
ham was told and also that when he died, he
was buried with ‘Sarah his wife.’
The parallel carried out found the venera-
ble painter, like the ancient Patriarch, rich
in years and full of godliness and wisdom,
and both dying, were entombed in the same
sepulchre with their wives, each of whom
bore the name of‘Sarah.’ Prof. Fitch gave
a brief but faithful sketch of his eventful life
—-of his birth and pirentage _in Lebanon, in
this State, in I756. He graduated at Cam-
bridge, in 1773, and soon after became aid
to Gen. Washington, and participated in
many i:npol‘l.utIt acts ofthe revolution. Ile
. visiied Europe several times, where he be-
gan some of his great historical productions,
l:fI.t‘l' having been a pupil of West. He sub-
sequently contracted with the government to
supply the four superb paintings which oc-
copy the paunels in the ,Rotunda at \Vash-
~t'ngton, for which he received about $32,000
or $8,000 for each of thorn. For many
years he devoted himself stodiously to his
profession, except while acting as Secretary
to Mr. Jay, during the negotiation of his cel-
ebrated Treaty.
After his final return from Europe, be
conceived the design of establishing a per-
manent Gallery of Paintings, where all his
productions, except those at Washington,
could be gathered up- and preserved. The
proposition was made to Yale College and
accepted, that he receive $l000 annually
while he is living. and at his death the whole
collection should revert to the Institution, the
income of it as an exhibition, to be applied
to the aid of indigent students, which sutn he
has received for eleven years. During the
last two or three years, he has been residing
in New York prior to which he had been in
this city in the lainily of his distinguished
and nearest relative Prof. Silliman. His
health has been gradually failing. He died
in full Christian hope, at the advanced age
87. Professor Fitch closed his discourse
with a beautiful and comprehensive epitaph,
such as the proudest heroes as well as the
most gifted scholars rarely have engraven
on their tombstones.
After the exercises had terminated, the
corpse, with Judge Hitchcock, Roger S.
Baldwin, Capt-iin Goodrich, ex Governor
Edwards, R. I. Ingersoll, Zebal Bradley,
and B. L. Hamlen, as Pall Bearers, was ta-
ken through College to Chapel, from.Chap-
el to High street, and from thence to Trum-
bull Gallery, followed by the tnourners, the
Faculty of Yale College, Stud.-nts in the
‘different D -piitments, and the‘ Uii(le"rgradu:'
ates. Bane-ith Prof. Taylor’s L-‘ctureRooin
a vault was constructed some years since at
(Jul. 'I‘rumbull’s own expense, and :ho-. re-
mains ofhis wife placed there. It is made
of brick and covered with a large slab, here-
after to be hermetically'"sealed over. By
the side of his deceased consort, were then
pl.:ced the remains of the Scholar and Sol-
dier, the distinguished Artist and the courte-
ous and acotnplished gentlem zn, there to
slumber under the beautiful tniusoleutn his
genius conceived and his liberality erected.

M -n who q iarrel with the 'I‘.iriff, makea
false issue when they charge Protectionists
with improving some interests to the injury
of others. It is a fabulous charge, trumpud
up by those who see the strong tendency
there is among American citizens to protect
themselves, to sow the seeds of discord and
jealousy between the different departments of
business. Nothing can be farther frotn the
truth.--~-Protectionists never recommended
any such measure.—Directly the reverse,
has thousands of times been demonstrated to
be the effect of the Tariff system, and the
history ofthe country in its business and
prosperity has always been in accordance
with this theory. Any legislation which
makes it the interest of the manufacturer_to
build up a thriving village, benefits other
classes of the community, no less than him-
self. The different interests are so closely
iriter-.\'oven that the success of the one must
in some measure, be the success of the oth-
ers. They are all in one family, and mutu-
ally dependent upon each other for support.
The pursuits of society are a community,
h iving commoniinterests,—-—not a set of iso-
lated savages, having no communion with
each other. A common pulse throbs thro’
them all. Whatever life and activity is giv-
on to one part of the system is communicated
by a common sympathy to every other part.
In accordance with this wholesome view of
society and its pursuits, which regards inan-
kind as brethren, and not as enemies, we
give the following from a letter of M r. Clay.
‘Protection to manufscturers and coin-
merce is in fact, whatever it may be in fortn.

and carpenters. His comforts and theirs are
both increased by such proxitnity, and they
are enabled to augment their respective pro-
ductions. But of whatavail would it be to
multiply them, without commerce, foreign
and domestic, whose office is to destribnte
tliesurplus produce of agriculture and of the
fabrics of the mechanic and manufacturer?’

Ventilation".---The season has arrived
when doors and windows must be closed to
exclude the external ‘air, and fires are de-
manded internally. With many the question
is, how to secure a proper temperature, with-
out a passingthought about the quality of
the air. This is an oversight. II. has been
estimated that more diseases are occasioned
by inhaling stifled air, than by exposure to
the cold. There certainly can be no‘ doubt
that impure air adds vastly to the prevalence
of disease.
In breathing, every person exhale-so quan-
tity of carbonic acid gas from the lungs; this
gradually vitiates the air of a close room,
and renders it unfit for respiration. Besides
the combustion of fuel in a grate-, stove, or
fireplace, especially the burning of charcoal
envolves a quantity of this deleterious gas-
thc some gas precisely, that under the name
of choke damp, so often proves fatal at the
bottom of mines and wells. This noxious
element being, heavier than common air.sub-
sides to the bottom of.the room; and it -{is for
this reason that children are more liable to
‘be affected by it then adults. It has proved
f.ital to children lying on the floor, while
the ‘pa rents in the same room experience no
disagreeable sensation. The strong draught
ofa chimney will convey away impurities
of this kind; but where the draught is feeble
a room will need more careful ventilation.
If greater pains were taken to ventilate
churches and lecture rooms, we should hear
less of sleepy audiences." School houses too
require particular attention in this respect.

Outrage. —-A "gross outrage was perpeira
ted near the ruins of the Liberian Hotel
yesferday afternoon. A white woman, who
was crazy, fell iutothe hands of some halt
dozen rowdies, who stripped all her clothing
from her body. She was rescued by sortie
of the negroes who it appears had more
decency about them. Several other breach-
es of the peace occurred; the police officers
were sent for, and were obliged to remain
upon the ground to prevent further outrages.

The Buffalo Commercial, referring to the
late remission of the sentence of the Court
Martial on Commodore Elliot, indulges in
the following. severe remarks: ,
‘He who shrtink from the fight on Lake
Erie. and then bas-ely strove to tear the loo
rel from the brow of Perry, who when in
command of the glorious Constitution, dese-
crated that noble vessel by placing on it a
figure head of Andrew Jackson—an act of
sycophancy that would disgrace a slave—-
and who defiled another national vessel, by
converting it into a transport for his jackass-
es, is a fitting subject of John Tyler's favor.’
Rev. Dr. Hawlres ——-This eminent and el-
oquent divine preached his last sermon at St.
'I‘tiumas’ Church on Sunday last, having
accepted an urgent invitation to take charge
of a church in Holly Springs, Miss. We
regret exceedingly that we are to have this
able and accorriplished scholar no longer
among us. Our city has no more eloquent
preacher, and his contributions to the litera-
turrrof our State andcountry have been of
the‘n_r_o_st brilliant and able stamp. \Ve wish
him, wherever he may go, thb most abund-
ant success in his new sphere of usefulness
and duty.—-—N. Y. Cour.
How much his people valued his services
may be inferred from the fact that they of-
ftred. if he would remain with them, a bonus
of $l'2,000 and $6,000 a year salary.-
Such sums of money, it was thought, might
influence him, as he is deeply embarrassed
by debts contracted in the management of
his school at H-allet’s Cove, some years ago.

In the some five months. l57.532 Bibles

The call for bibles is represented to be

JlIore Fighting Firemen.—The Grand
Jury have prosecuted a number of Philadel-
phia Fire Companies as a nuisance, and
others fiave had their Engines and Hose
Carriages withdrawn from service. Since
the authorities have interposed and stopped
street fighting. these vagabonds and rufiians
have taken to the newspapers, and there,
through communications. they are abusing
each other like pick pockets.
T/ie Contrasz.—The Richmond Enquirer
says:
‘We have a letter before us, sent to us by

and utterly disclaims the present tariff.’
The Pittsburg Morning Post, (also Loco
Foco) says:
‘Prosperity has returned to our county.—-
Thousands of workmen have procured eni-
ployment in consequence of the adoption ofa
tariffthat was carried by Democratic votes.‘
Mr. Van Buren it seems, denouncrs and
utterly dtsclaimes a tariff which has restored
prosperity to the country?

Wheeler's Farms, in Orange, about five
miles from this city, was found dead on the
ground a short distance from her house,
with her throat ctit from ear to car. She
was the wife of Samuel Wolcoti, a man of
dissolute habits, and by some it was sus
peeled that he was the cause of her death;
and by others it was believed she had coin-
mitted suicide, as she had been at tiines de-
ranged. When our inform-int left Orange,
an inquest was being held over the ‘body,
and of course the verdict had not been ren-
dered. It is stated that Mrs. Wolcuu has

J. Q. ADAMS on AB0l.l'I‘l0N.—' Mr. Adams -
was waited on at Pittsburgh by a Committee of
the political Abolitionists,,urging him to meet
and address them. Thishe declined, avowing
that he was as much opposed to Slavery as
any ofihem, and especially to the representa-
tion of Slaves in Congress, but expressing his
opposition to the Abolition measures of the day
as follows:
"With regard to the subject mentioned in
this note, the annexation or Texas, and the
abolition of Slavery in the District of Co-
lumbia, I have no opinions which I wish to
conceal. The Tr-.xas question is a very
delicate one, and it is probable it will occu-
py much of the attention of Congress the
ensuing session: uiy views of it have burl)
already atou-ed on more than one occasion.
On the subject of Abolition, Abolition Socie-
ties, Anti-Slavery societies, or the Liberty
party. I have never been. a member of any
of tiiem. But in opposition to slavery I go
as far its any of these: t__ny sentiments, I be-
lieve very nearly accord with theirs. That
slavery will be abolished in this country,
anl throughout the world, I firmly believe.
Whether it will be done peaceably or by
blood, God only knows, but that it shall be
accoinpltshed I have not a doubt, and by
whatever way I say let it comc._
As to the abolition of slavery in the Dis-
trict of Columbia, I have said that I was
opposed to it-—riot becausel have any doubts
oi the power of Congress to abolish slavery
in the District, for I have none. I regard it
as the violation of republican principles, to
enact laws at the petition of one people,
which are to operate upon another people
against their consent. As the laws now
stand, the people in the District have prop-
erty in their Slaves. I
I do not admit that these laws are in ac.
cordance with justice, for it can never be
true that one man can rightfully have prop-
erty in another niau. Still these laws have
had an existence since before that part oi
the country becartie the District of Coloni-
bra, and was brought under ttie power of
Congress: and I think may slwulrl not be
altered w-ii/tout I/te consent of lite people of
the District. This consent I br.-lieveiwill be
obtained, and Slavery will be abolished
there. -
The Contest of ’44.—The game’s afoot.
From all parts of the country tnere come up
the most satisfactory indications that the

they acquired in the last campaign. The
Clay Clubs are numerous, active and reso-
lute. Having wasted no efforts in elections
not vital to ttieir.oltiuiate success, they are

Mr. Ambrose Reynolds, one of the largi st

tion in Boston on Friday last for the purpose
of operating in favor of the locus in the

“It cannot be necessary for us to say, that
there is not one word of truth in the state-

have perpetrated it, doubtless imagine that it
will circulate in many places which the con-
tradiction will never reach.
MR. ADAMS AND Mn. CLAY.-—\Ve have
heretofore noticed that Mr.Clay invited Mr.
Adams to visit him at Ashland. To this invi
tation Mr. A. refers, in the following passage Of
his speecfi to the Kentuckians at Covington:
Not only have I received these invitations
frompoblic bodies and cities, but also from
individual citizens, among the first of whom
was that great man, your citizen, who, do-
ring a very large portion of my public life,
and in several instances in matters relating
to your ‘interests, has been my associate and
friend, and the recollection of whom brings
me to acknowledge before this whole assem-
bly, that in all the various capacities in
which I have known him to act, whether as
my assistant or associate, or as acting inde-
pendently of me in his individual character
and capacity, I have ever found him not
only one of the nblest men whom I ever
co-operated with, but one of -the most amia-
ble and most worthy. I have received a
cordial invitation from him to visit. him at
his residence.”

WHIG PARTY.
The following tribute to the soundness of
Whig principles, and the high moral standing of
the party, is from the New York Observer. one
ofthe most distiuguislied religious papers ofthe
country.
‘The Tyler broom is dusting and sweeping

more than places. And what is remarkable
too, that though thus in the arttis of victory

readier or fresher for action! They reason

ablest of the Loco Focus, leaves the House
for the Senate, where Mr. McDoffie of S. C.
appears to revive at l-ast the memory of his
ancient glories. Andrew Stewart of Pa. re-
turns to the House afzer an absence of four-
teen years; Messrs. Vintou and Vance of
Ohio were also distinguished there years
ago; so were Wilkins of Pa French of Ky.
and Drouigoole of Va. Illinois sends an
entirely new Delegation to both Ilouies;
Missouri ditto (we believe) with the excep-
tion of her interminable Benton; Vermont is
rr-presented by new men, a single Senator
excepted. Indiana has one Senator and one
Representative the same as last year; Cop-
nccticut and Maine each a Senator only.-‘-
There are several new men of whom we are
It'd to expect something—among them
Messrs. Marsh of Vt. Morris and Bnffington

the new loco focos, we believe ex-Gov. Dun-

of N. J. Tibbats of Ky. and Robert Dal
Owen of la. are among the ablest.”
In footing up the talent of our Connecticut
delegation, we most not omit the man of Pills
