The oath of office were administered by Chief Justice Eustis, in the presence of committees of bolh Houses of the Legislature. Authenticated copies, duly subscribed, will bo filed according to law in the office of the Secretary of Slate. The usual ceremonies of a public inauguration were dispensed with iu consequence of the feebleness of the health of the new Governor, who is just recovering from a very severe attack Of typhoid fever, aud uuable yet to leave his room. This fact was announced to the Legislature on Tuesday after the counting of the votes and the public proclamation of the result of the count, in the election of Hebert and Farmer. Thttjwo IIuurM immediately appoiuted a Joint Commit teeto'wuit upon Col.

Hebert at his residence and announce hie election, aud empowered them to take the proper steps to install him into office. The committee consisted of On the ltKiitf. Mr. Filiiiims. part of the Senate Oen.

Kivcrs of Coucordia, and Mr. Moutun of Lafayette. ()u tiie part of the House Col. DeRussy tif Natchi todies. Mr.

Lebianr of Orleans. Mr. Pierce of Bienville, Mr Olivier of St. Martin, Mr Brovii of Iberville, and Mr. Waiter of Livingstou.

The committee immediately sent Capt. West more, an intimate personal friend of Col. Hebert, to New Orleans, to request the attendance of thr Chief Justice at the house of Ool. Hebert, in order to administer the oaths. Starling tbe tie.v.

afternoon, they reached the residence of Mrs. Vaughan, Col. HcbertV mother in law, at about midinght, and occupied that elegant, uiausiou, which bad been hospitably thrown opeu for their reception. On Thursday morning they repaired in a body to the residence of the Governor elect, a distance of loss than half a mile, and found that Judge Eustis had already arrived. About noon, the Governor elect, being uot yet able to sit up lonst enough to go throush the ceremony, the Joint committee repaired to his bedroom, and the oath was there administered by the Chief Juslice, iu their presence, and those of the attending physicians, thefamily, and two or'hree invited friends.

Gor.Tkbert, although eitreineiy low in flesh, and prostrated by feeble iie. repeated the words of the oath iu a distinct, firm voice, and with a clear, bright eye. He afterwards attached his signature to the attesting document in a bold haudwritinc. The little conversation which his physicians per to be held with him, exhibited an unclouded intellect and a cheerful frame of mind. These precautions against agitation are made necessary to enable him fully to redeem the promise of his physicians, that he will be able to go to Baton Unuse iu the course of week after the next.

The Lieuteuaut Governor was sworn in in the sfnji) manner. The committee, or most of them, with the Lieu tenant Governor, came down to the city, intending to co uo to Baton Rouge to morrow. The constitution prohibits the General Assembly from oroceediua to business until tiie uovernor is in stalled, and the Senate on Wednesday adjourned over to Monday next. The House on I hursilay, in all probability, followed the example. The filing of the oath of office at Baton Kouge will be ihe evidence of the due installation of Gov.

Hebert, and the Legislature will theu proceed to work. The election of a State Printer ia fixed for that day at noon. The temporary absence of the povernor from the seat of Government is not likely to cause any detriment or serious delay to the pifblic business. I'he committees are not yet appointed, and until they have prepared work, few bills of any im portance are likely to get to the Governor; nor is it necessary that bills which have passed bolh Houses should be immediately enrolled for the Governor's signature, aud if there be au exception, a special metseuger can take it to him iu a tew hours. There is a fair prospect that he will be fuily able to attend to public aff airs iu a couple of weeks, and the Legislature can easily lime their work in the meantime ho as to suit his coii diiion nd not really put back any thiug which requires mature consideration.

A Striking Contraat. The Villager, published at Markuville, Avoy parish, in this State, iu its edition of the iust, notices the arrival in that parish of II. B. Northrop, Esq of New York, and gives the following account of the occasion of visit and his reception by the citizens of Avoyelles parish.

New York Correspondences Special Correspondence of the Picayune. Niw York, Jan. 11, 1853. me nonlaz made tier first appearance in opera before a New York audience laat evening, Niblo's elegant theatre waa crowded, including the passage ways, stairs, tc, to ita utmost ca pacity, and the audience, at a whole, waa as fashionable a one as hat been seen in this city for a long time. jThe opera selected lor the debut of M'tne Soiitag was "The Child of the Reeiment," in which she, of course, personated Marie tbe true and faithful daughter.

She was supported by Badiali and Pozzolini in the remaining principal characters, and by a very eflective orchestra of some forty or fifty members, under the direction of Carl Eckert, as also an excellent chorus. With such admirable arrangements, the success of the opera one would suppose beyoiid question. Perhaps it was, though some of the points in the part of ine Sontag will bear improvement. Her music lesson scene was capital, and received the moBt rapturous plaudits beyond this, however, and the finale to the first act, the enthusiasm was by no means spontaneous. In fact, so far as the general rendering of the entire character was concerned, 1 have seen it much better in the hands of Mary Taylor the latter gave an earnestness to the points wherein M'me Sontag Tailed, which certainly made her far superior.

Her figure, too, was more pleasing though I do not wish to be understood by this as finding fault with the figure of the debutante lBst She made a very fair appearance in her camp attire, and a still more favorable one as an occupant of the drawing room yet, for all this, there seemed a lack of force and diligent study on the part of the sweet sonestress, and which was readily observed by the audience. A little more practice of her part, however, will doubtless remedy the difficulty. Alboui, at the Broadway, continues to draw full houses, and is said by many to throw Sontag quite in tbe shade. Her Aforfe, in the "Daughter of the Regiment," is represented as far superior. M'me Sontag, I understand, will not appear tomorrow evening, owing to indisposition.

The short passage of the Baltic, which arrived to day, is another evidence of the superior qualities of the Collins line of steamers. Her English rival the America although leaving Liverpool four days previous, only reached her wharf, at Boston, about midnight last evening, and her mails have uot yet reached New York so that ihe Baltic has actually arrived first, uotwith standing her rival sailed four days before her I This is certainly about the worst beat the Cunard folks have yet had, and must cause them to feel rather down the banks. The Baltic reports experiencing terrible gales, which compelled vessels to return, and which, of conrse, retarded her passage. Were it not for this, she would have arrived even earlier than she The City, which leaves this port tomorrow for Havana, has instructions to stop at Norfolk, and take on board Hon. Wm.

R. Kiug, who was to leave Washington on the steamer Fulton and meet the Empire City at Norfolk. There is considerable fear expressed, however, that he will not be able to stand the voyage. Col. Fuller, of the Evening Mirror, also goes out as passenger.

He will be the bearer of despatches to the American Consul at Havana from, from the State Department at Washington. A despatch from the capital announces that the Supreme Court or the United States in the case of Morse r. O'Reilly, has decided that an art cannot be patented. This decision is of the highest importance, and Morse's claims in the head at once. I received a visit this morning from young GotUchalk, tbe pianist, and was much pleased with his modest manner and bearing.

He will be assisted by eminent talent, including Paul Julien, tbe accomplished violinist. A second trial trip of the Ericsson propeller was made to day, and like tha first, proved very successful. The vessel had the tide against ber, b'ut for all that, made on an average nine miles an hour.

I Our cotton brokers generally anticipated a slight decline by tbe America the Asia's letters reading rather blue. You may readily imagine, therefore, that they were agreeably surprised when it was ascertained she brought a firm and somewhat stitfer markeL The effect of tliis favorable news was an advance iu tbe New York market yesterday of 14c and sales of 1,200 balea The Baltic though has popped iu suddenly and checked the advance her advices being of the tenor anticipated by the American. In short, they are equal to Vg decline, as a full Vfed. would have to be submitted to in order to effect sales. There is no mistaking it the Liverpool market is bound to go still lower, and it is all nonsense to adopt measures this side ol the water to keep it up.

Now notwithstanding there were sales of cotton to day at lower prices, under tbe Baltic's accounts, the brokers all reported an unchanged market This was done in order fo keep the de cline oct of the newspapers and thus keep it from going out in the steamer which sails at noon to morrow, except in the private letters.

Special Correspondence of the Picayune. Boston. Jot. 11, 1853. Yesterday it was my mournful privilege to attend the funeral services over tbe remains of youag Pierce, the only son of our President elect, whose sudden and melancholy death has touched a sympathetic chord which has vibrated throughout the entire land.

The services were held at Andover, at the house of Mr. Aiken, where young Pierce had been stopping fora few days previous to his embarkation on board that fatal train. The attendance at the funeral was very large, the citizens of Andover turning out in large numbers and completely thronging the spacious residence in which the services were held. The remains of the departed youth were en closed in a neat rosewood coffin, studded with silver nails, and lined with white satin. The head was surrounded with a wreath of laurel intertwined with white roses, one of the leaves of which partially concealed a scar across the forehead between the eyes.

The countenance was placid, and wore a pleasing expression. He was beautiful even in death. On the top of the coffin were two wreaths of laurel and roses, and a daguerreotype likeness of the lad. Also a silver plate inscribed "Benjamin Pierce, died Jan. 6, 1853: Aged 11 years and 9 months." The coffin was placed on a table in the back parlor which was occupied by the bereaved parents and their immediate relatives.

Sad were the hearts of those parents as they sat themselves down iu anguish to listen to those fuueral services over the dust of their loved boy. Many and bitter were the pangs which wrung their hearts, and which found expression in tears of sorrow. Nor were they alone in their grief. Scarce, an eye iu that large audience was un dimmed by tears scarce a heart that did not throb with feelings of the tenderest and most affectionate sympathy. The services were conducted by the Rev.

Mr. Parker, of Concord, the family pastor of Gen. Pierce. They were most solemn and appropriate never have I known any more so. The chapel choir a quartette of four male voices sang the hymn 0h let my trembling soul be still," with a tenderness of expression I have seldom heard equaled.

Mr. Parker then read copious selections from the Scriptures one which seem ed to me peculiarly appropriate, was that passage in the 1st Kings, where Elisha is recorded as restoring to life the son of the Shunamite woman. After the mottette, Cast thy burden on the Lord," by the choir, the officiating clergyman offered a prayer, which was most tender, touching and eloquent in its allusions to the sad occasion which had assembled that mournful gathering to the tender, affectionate, noble character of the "dear Heaven taken boy," to the peculiar bereavement which had come upon this father's heart, and to the desolation Jn which this be reavement had shrouded the heart of this loving and affectionate mother. Most fervently he plead that that they might have such views of the character of God, and the excellence of His government, that they might be able to submit with filial hearts to the control of their Heavenly Father. He prayed that the remembrance of the many virtues and noble traits of character ol their departed boy might come to them in this bitter hour and that they might have hearts to bless God that he had given them such a son and that after being allowed to instruct, counsel and guide him for these few years, they could yield bim up to a covenant keeping God, to whom in the days of his infancy, he was dedicated in baptism.

He prayed that this affliction might be sancti fied to all the parents present, and to all the families of our land, each one of which bad been peculiarly entered by it to the Sabbath, school with which young Pierce was connected and so much loved, and to all his comrades. After the prayer, the choir sang that beautiful hymn by Tappan: "There is an boar of peaceful rest," and the services concluded with the benediction. The remains were then removed from the house and taken to Concord in an extra train of cars, where the bereaved parents will commit to the silent tomb the dust of their loved boy. The services throughout were of the most solemn and impressive character, and the deep grief of the sorrow stricken parents found a response in the tearful eyes and sympathizing hearts of that large assemblage. A smart fight has been raging in tbe Legislature since Saturday on the subject of filling op the vacancies in the Senate, which is done by the two branches in convention.

The Senate (as is usual) sent down to the House the names ot the constitutional candidates, and it so hap. pened that among those from Essex county was the name of Elisha Mack, deceased since the election; He was a Whig, and his death ren dered one of the Coalition candidates a constitutional candidate, be having the next1 highest number of votes. Whether the Wbigs (as the coalitionists charge them,) intended, in sending Judge Mack's name down, to make the convention vote fora dead man," or not, I cannot say. At any rate, the Coalitionists showed that they were wide awake and did not intend to stand any such game. They insisted that the) returns should be recommitted and that the names of none but live men should be presented for their suffrages.

In this particular, after a smart bat they carried the day aud had the returns amended if as to contain the name of one of the Coalition candidates. The experience of the post three days has shown the WhigS that they have an able and powerful minority to contend with, and tnat tbe most thorough organization will be necessary to carry their measure? through successfully. I notice that onr Maine friends have had trouble in organizing their Legislature. Owing to the large number of vacancies in the Senate. The Whigs had a majority and elected their candi dates for President and Clerk.

The President took his seat, made "an eloquent and appro priate" speech, returning thanks for the honor conferred, and quietly sat himself down again, when some inquisitive Locofoce found out that a quorum of the Senate had not voted, and that in consequence the election waa nnll and void. The President vacated bis post of honor, and it was proposed to go into another ballot, but the Democrats refused to vote. Tbe wheels were thus completely "blocked." For three days the Democrats adhered to their determination not to vote, but at last gave in and allowed the Wbigs to elect their candidate, sure I Our mild weather continues, and the air seems more like that of early spring than midwinter. A day or two since I had occasion to pass several of our largest ice making ponds, and found them free from ice.7 It ia most fortunate for our farmers who have been enabled to eke out their short stock of fodder for their cattle by turning them Into the fields and woods to browse. The Portland (Me) Advertiser of to day mentions that one firm is hauling ice into that city at tbe rate of 500 toaa a day.

Unless we have cold weather Man there will be a light crop gathered this winter. It ts stated that some of our enterprising ice merchants are making' arrangements to have their houses filled np with ice from the ponds in Vermont; bringing to this city by railroad. The buoyancy and activity which I recently noticed In oar stock market continues, and the fancies are particularly lively. The money market is easy aad outsiders" are dipping in freely to make their fortunes." Those who are wise enough to drop their stocks ere the tide tarns will realize a handsome profit The ease in; tbe money market has given an impetus te transactions in real estate, and sales hare been made at a handsome advance on prices asked a year ago. The probability is that there will be more building the ensuing spring in thia city and vicinity than for a number of years past.
