The remains of the distinguished traveler and explorer, Dr. Kane, passed through London on Saturday night, March 7, 1857, en route for Philadelphia, where it was to be consigned to its last resting place. The passage of the corpse through the United States was a complete ovation. From all quarters, both in city and country, all acknowledged the public loss, and mingled with the relatives of the deceased the tears of sympathy.
At this place, the arrival of the cars was received bv a salute from the Madison Guards, under command of Capt. Phillips, after which, on invitation of the committee in whose charge the corpse had been assigned, they filed through the car in which it lay, and after gazing on the coffin retired, and the cars sped on their way.
