          The Death of Col. Dyckman--Funeral
                 Parade To-Day.
 Yesterday a special meeting of the Common
Council was held to take appropriate action in regard
to the decease of Col. GARRET DYCKMAN. A pre-
amble and resolutions were offered by Alderman
NORTON, referring to the services rendered by the
deceased to his country, and condoling with his
family. It was also resolved that the members of the
Common Council should attend the funeral in a
body.
 Alderman NORTON, in offering the resolutions,
said that the deceased was a personal friend of many
years' standing. When the war in Mexico broke
out, Col. DYCKMAN was one of the first to respond
to the call of volunteers. His services during that
war were a matter of history. When the snuff-box
left by Gen. JACKSON to the bravest man in the
New-York Volunteer force was about to be awarded,
Lieut.-Gen. SCOTT rendered testimpony to the bril-
liant military services of Col. DYCKMAN. In him
the country had lost a good citizen and a brave
soldier.
 Councilman HARTMAN also spoke of the services of
the deceased, and mentioned the fact that the bullet
the deceased received in his lungs at the battle of
Moliao del Rey had remained there until the day 
after his death, when it was extracted.
 The resolutions were then adopted, and a joint
committee appointed to make the necessary arrange-
ments for the funeral.
 Coroner SCHIRMER held an inquest yesterday over
the remains of Col. DYCKMAN, whose sudden death
at No. 422 Broome-street was announced in yester-
days TIMES. The post-mortem examination by Dr.
HOWE revealed the presence of a large bullet in the
left lung, carried by deceased ever since the Mexican
War, 22 years ago. The jury rendered a verdict of
death from edema of the lungs, consequent upon
Bright's disease of the kidneys. Col. DYCKMAN was
53 years of age and a native of this State.
 The body of Col. DYCKMAN will be brought to the
City Hall at 10 o'clock this morning, and will there
be in state until 3 P.M., when it will be conveyed by
rail to Cortland Town, where the funeral services
will take place. The Hawkins Zouaves will act as a
guard of honor, and the Independent Lodge of F.M.,
with the members of the Common Council, accom-
pany the body to the depot.
