Further Proceedings of the two Branches of the Legislature.

The two branches of the legislature met yesterday, at ten o'clock, and after adopting the following report, adjourned till one o'clock this afternoon, when they will assemble at their chambers, and thence proceed to the late dwelling of Governor Clinton.

The joint committee of the senate and assembly, appointed to conduct the funeral obsequies of the late Governor Clinton, reported;

That they have made the arrangements which appeared necessary to conduct the funeral of Governor Clinton, in such a manner as to carry into effect the intentions of the legislature. It is believed they are such as will evince the sentiments of grief expressed by the two houses in their resolutions, and comport with the character of the state. The details of their arrangements, so far as they are necessary to be reported, will appear by the order adopted by the committee, a copy of which is annexed.

In cases somewhat similar, it has been the practice to direct the chairs of the president of the senate, and of the speaker of the assembly, to be shrouded with black. Unwilling to omit the least mark of respect to the memory of the illustrious dead, the committee have followed these precedents. They respectfully recommend that the two houses meet in their respective chambers, to-morrow, at one o'clock P. M. in order to make the necessary preparations to unite in the funeral solemnities.

His public and private worth are identified with the history of his country, and will endure, as long as patriotism and freedom preserve their influence over this happy land.

That they condole with his family, relatives, and connexions, in this painful and mysterious dispensation of Divine Providence, by which they have lost an affectionate relative, and an illustrious benefactor.

That they will abstain from their usual avocations during the day on which his funeral obsequies shall be solemnized, and that they will close their stores and shops.

That they will wear the usual badge of mourning on the left arm, on that day.

That a committee, consisting of three persons from each ward, be appointed to confer with such other committees, as are, or shall be appointed by the legislature, the corporation, the bar, the military, or other public bodies, to make arrangements for attending the funeral of the deceased, and to adopt such other measures as shall be suitable to the occasion.
