The Washington correspondent of the Baltimore Sun thus desciribes the closing scene: WASINuGTO, FED. 23-8 P M. - At the time of closing my last despatch, it was evident to those watching by the couch of the venerable patriarch, that the work of death was being brougt to a rapid close. le however, continued to breathe calmly until about 1-2 past0 o'clock, when signs of imme diate dissolution were evident. The scene was a most impressive one-sur rounded as he was by his family and a host of intimate and mourning friends watching the gradual diminution of breath, until all signs of life were yielded as calnly and quietly as a child falling to sleep. At seventeen minutes past seven o'oloek he drem his last breath, after lying insensible for fifty four hours, with but a few moments interval of consciousness. Arrangements are now being made to remove his body to his residence. rhe funeral solemnities, we understand, were to have taken place on Saturday.
