The committee were taken by the citizens as their guests, and quartered last night at the Ex change Hotel. Ths reception and disposition of the remains tiok j>lsce in very appropriate style. Mr. M«' Do.*aLl>, tbe agent of Adams' Express, was tele graphed to be ready to convey them to tbe Peters burg Depot, and ws» at the s'ation with a band some beatse, Orawn by fmr fine bays, loaned f >r tbe occa i>u by Mr BaM.ari>. The demon»tra tion, under the circumstances, was an honorable tribute to the memory of tbe deceased; but hail there been a little more certainty and a somewhat earlier announcement as to the time of the arriva of tha body, there would have been a more decided and general exhibition of public respect for the dead. A Reading Uoom- -The Christina Aaaool- Nt ion • Tbe writer of tbe article in yesterday's Dis patch. relative to a Reading Room, in which ailu aio t was made to the plan of the Christian Asso ciation for Micb an establishment, had not read tbe paragraph in the local column of Monday s paper, representing the scheme of the Christian Associa tion as g r ing ahead and soon to be in operation. When the miter had last heard of the plau ifcere was no certainty that, it would be undertaken aod be saw a list of piper# said to be intended to be tiled. That list was not on a sufficiently enterprising fcale for the object. We conclu dod that the idea was to economise in the li?t in order to come down to the economical price of subsetiptlon. Tbis much by way of explara tion We are now informed, and are gratified to learn, that the Reading Hoom—i. e , the commer* clal and news department of it—"i« about to be come one of the most complete in any city." We are further informed, that the Association hag "adopted and is now patting into immediate, ere-- cu'ion, the plan recommended by the merchant* of the city, who themselves selected all the pa par* they deemed important for the establishment of a good Commercial" Reading Room. This is every way gratifying. Of course, the list here alluded to is a different one from that we saw when the scheme was first projected. There will be an addition of some "thirty papers to those heretofure taken, including the semi-weekly edi tion of the London Times, and the principal Liver pool paper." The Association has for some time past had on i:n files daily papers from the ptiuci pal cities, and a number of periodicals. The Association has, besides, some ir>oo volume*, well selec'ed, and will probably soon have :WOO — Their Lib ary and Reading Rooms are well light" ed ar.d warmed, and pleasant, airy and central— convenient to the Banks, new Custom House, at d Post Office. Workmen are now engaged in ma king the nect ssary enlargement and arrangements for the purpose of the Reading Room. As to the subscription price, we are informed thit the Association is enabled to put it down low, because it has already its Library and Reading Rooms, and other conveniences, which would cost any competitor $t<X> or $.">3O, and to that extent it hwthe advantage, ami with the liberal a<d it has received from the merchants (some of them, to their praise be it spoken, having subscribed *10 apd B'JO t>> atsist in the beginning,) It is enabled to reduce the subscription to an unprecedented low rate. With these statements, we commend the enter prbe of the Association. It has been delayed un til now, owing to extreme caution of the Executive Committee "not to undertake it until they felt assured of Us success and permanence." Any one Interested in the subject is invited to call and ex amine, and judge for himself. The Hiirdfll Cnse, The mode of conducting the trialt -as they may be called—before Coroner CoNNRKV, in the Bnr dvll case, in New York, Is very remaikable ; and not le«s remarkable is the course of the press.— We are not an old fogy ia the matter of the free doro n( the press, by any ineau*, but we think there are limits beyond which it is a seriou* inva ■ lon of the liberties of others to go. The press in New York, ax well as Coroner CONNKRT, is trying the Cunninghams, Eckel and Snodgrass. They seem to be disposed to arqult poor Snodtfrass, and the two Misses Cunningham; but some of them clearly comi 't Mrs. Cnnningham, and Eckel as her accomplice. The Herald has brought her ease completely in review, and pronouncts judgment. It will be hard to carry ont the true ends of the establishment of judi-ial tribunals in a community, uteiced, as is that of New York, by the publica tion#, and by the course of the press, which sreuis, *9 it were, taking the judgment out of the hands of the courts. The Arrival of the MleniurrH. The at rival of the New York and Philadelphia steamers were remarkable incidents of the win. ters history ii this locality. They have been long detailed by ice. The stevedores and dray msn looked joyous and moved about with unwont ed vim and cheerfulness. The event of the open ing of navigation In short communicates, perhaps, mire general satisfaction and joy, than any other that could happen in these pijd jg times of peace. MR.

Yours, V. Tremendous Frmihel at Albany, N- Y. There was a tremendous fluid at Albany, New York, Sunday night, causing damage to the esti. mated amount of §2,003,000. The city through out the night was the ecere of the utmost confu sion- Laborers were working all night, removing goods in the stores in the ljwrr part of the city to the second stories, where it was thought they wrvuld be sate, but at 11 o'clock the water began rising raj-idly, and the workmen were obliged to desist and run for safety. The water continued rising until 4 o'clock Monday morning, whes it reached a point three feet higher than was ever bf fore known, flooding the whole of the lower ponton of the city, as high up as Gteen street, many of the streets being submerged to the first stories ot the bouses cellars all fiiled, and the streets between Broadway and the river are navi gable fur boats. At three o'clock, fires broke out in Warren & Son's, Broadway; Gibson Dallon's Planing Mill, and Barrett's Warehouse, on the p'er, ali caused by the slacking of lime. The engines could not be got to the tire, and the firemen proceeded in boats to the scene of the conflagration, and, with buck* ets, hucceeded in confining the lire to the buildings in which it originated The propeller Western World took fire and sunk, aud it is rumored that several lives were lost. Twelve canal boats, three barges and two tugs were suuk. The Canal Warehouses wereetovein by the fl jod, which made a complete breach through tbern. Four hundred cattle were drowned at East Al bany, and many horses in the lower part cf the city. Three wrecked houses from above the city, passed down the river Monday morniDg, with two men on the roof of one of tbein The HutLon River and Central Railroads are completely sub merged. l'ubiic meetings have been called for the relief of the sufferers The greatest excitement pre vails Several alarms of tire were sounded. Fam ili-sfrom the Hooded d stricts were landed from fiat boats at the foot cf the post office steps. The water was still riuing on Monday, and sev eral of the lumber districts are overflowed, and the bridges are in danger of being carried away. Ttie freight depot on Green Island was burnt, caused by tbe lime stored in it slacking. Thk TtiLEGIiAPH LlNt:, North and South of this city, was down last night, leaving us without our usual dispatches. Wheat Crop in Virginia.—The Republican, published at Culpeper C 11, Ya , hears very dis couraging accounts from the wheat in that coußty A great deal of it has been killed by the intense colli weather. .Souie farmers go as far an two thirds, though the Republican hopes for abetter exhibit of the crop in the spriug. A New Excitement i » I'iiospkct —Burning the Dead.—An eminent New York physician has, according to the Buffalo Republic, written an ela borate work in favor of the practice of burning the dead, which is to be published alter his own death. By his will he directs his m.-.rtal renuics to be kept for five days in a warm room ; the thorax then to be opened, and the heart extracted, which is to be embalmed and < nclosed in a thick vel lum bag. strongly impregnated wiib aspbaltum ; the remainder of his body is tbeu to be publicly biirnt on a pyre < t sassafras or sandal wood, in one of ihe public cemiteii.s—the ashes carefully gathered and deposiied with the embalmed heart in a bronze urn. Five copies of the leading daily thy pat.ers, containing a-j account of the whole prrccediugß, are likewise directed to be dep< sited in tue nrji, which is *h<-n to be hermetically sealtd and taken to the New York Museum In the midst of the excitement cre.Vcd by these proceedings the work is to be publl-hed.

Rh.igious Difficulties —Tne Rev Mr Irvirg was lateiy chosen rector of St Andrew's (Episco* pal) churcli in Ricbmoud, .Staten Island. New York, over a strong opposition. Much dissatisfac tion ensued On Thursday last tbiugs came to a crisis—the bishop having come down and regular ly instituted the objectionable pastor. A protest against this proceeding on the part of the assis tant rector was then presented The dissatisfied portion of the congregation thereupon withdrew from the church, and are now busy making a case fit the courts It may be added that the church has an endowment of $.3,000 per annum for the support of the rector.
