The funeral services for Henry Ward ■ Beecher were he d in Urooklyn on the llth : inst. The public offices were closed busines was entire y su.-] omJed and memorial services wero held inal.rgo numbi r of churolies in the vi inity of Piymouth church. As early sh .-even o'c.oek the streets were thronped with pto 'Ie hnrrying in the direotiou of plynio th churcli. l.ines of poico were st.-itioncd at the ends i of Ihj block ou whieh the ibur' h_i. nti'il and no one was alloweil to pass tliroush the linea unless he had atiCKi-t. The sidestrcets wera p.u keil with peop e who hung nronnd hoping tüat they mibt be al 'Ie to got in witliouc á ticKot While the vast crowd of reople were gathering cutsido of the church the huiy membors of tlio congregation were dre-sing tlie pnlplt and casket with Howér-i. ïhe whole interior was tnrncd into a ] orfect Bower ganhn mul the iragraat jwrfumeof the roses pervaded the air. l'he wals, gatleries and organ were coveivd with ever, ïeen-, p ilms and cnlla li'ics. The reading desk was covered with rosea and viiies as was nlso the chair in whi h Mr. lïeecher snt fur so many years. In the cenierof the organ lolt was a ('oral erali'ein in the shape of a ti'iangle on the top of whicli were perched two white doves wtth white ril bons in theirbll. The facade of the gallery was covered witli potted planta.

Tbere :s notbing to indicato the oresence of deuth. The chtirch had more the appearauco of n wedding than a funeral. The doors of the church wero thrown open about 10 o'clock. Mr. Bteciior's family were not pre ent, and pew was fi.led' with flowers. Mrs. Heeclier was in the crurch for a few momentsheforetho doors were opened, but lelt with her gons ha. ore the crowd entered. After music Kev. Dr. Hall read the opening sentences of the Protestant Kpi copal buiial .-.ervieo-. At the clo e of the lesson, Dr. Hall delivered lus oration, and during its delivey thero was not a dry eve in tha huu e. In" ilosing his sermón Dr. Hall taid: A brave nnd weary heart is here at rest; bravo of oíd to daré brutal forcé and defy tho vio'ence of niobs and ruiTans in speaking for the sla ve ; bravo to accept the murmurs and doubts of his politica] friends when conscience prompted to part from them; bravest to wrestie alone with a great POrTOW when bo conld find no earthly heli) honor him for tbe courage of bis l'onr.er acts; wc love him and wonder at him for the calm, sweet. gent. e resignatión ol these last yenrs. (cd i believe. has led him stop by "step to sj en. his last dayg anionjj us witfa a wisdom gained from the crq-s; i tender, gentíe. soberer wisdom, whicb bèlped, him to e.e ;he Captain of our salvation who was made perfect through sulïering tliat we may all b of one ind the great suffe. er not ashan.od to cal us brethren. On his last Sundayevoningin thisplnce, two weeks ao. after the congregation had' retirad from it. the organist and one or two otl ers were practlelDg the h) ma: 'Heai d tho voice of Jesus say : 'Come unto Me ahd rest.'

Dr. Hall pronouncerl thebenedictioriand tho vast audience slowly fikd out of the church. After the conclusión ot the services at the Plymouth. ctinrch ihe public was pdmitted to view tl e body.
