DIED -- in this city, on Tuesday morning, 19th inst., at 7 o’clock, after a lingering illness, Col. Henry T. HUGGINS, in the 48th year of his age. [The funeral will take place today, at half-past 1 o'clock, p.m., from the Presbyterian Church.]
DEATH of COL. H.T. HUGGINS -- We are pained to announce the death of Col. H.T. HUGGINS which occurred at his residence in this city at 6 o’clock Tuesday morning. Col. HUGGINS was a native of New Haven, Conn., from which place he removed to New York and engaged in the study and
practice of the law; subsequently emigrating to Burlington, Iowa, where he continued in his profession for several years. He returned to his native place, whence he emigrated to this State early in 1851, and renewed the practice of his profession, until the great fire of that year destroyed a valuable library of law books, and all he possessed. He then left for the Northern mines and settled in Jackson, Amador county, from which place he went back to his native State and returned with his wife, to California in the spring of 1853, making his residence in this city, where he has since remained in the enjoyment of a lucrative practice, and in that which is still better, the favor and esteem of the entire community. His funeral will take place from the Presbyterian Church this afternoon at 2 o’clock and will be attended by the Union Guards, of which body he was an honorary member.
COUNTY COURT -- This Court met yesterday morning at the usual hour, when the death of H.T. HUGGINS, Esq., was announced by Judge A.C. BAINE with a few appropriate remarks accompanying, who moved, in respect to the memory of the deceased, an honored and esteemed member of the bar, that the Court adjourn. H.B. UNDERHILL, Esq., addressed the Court in review of the life and character of the deceased, and referred to his connection with the Courts as an attorney, and the honorable position he had ever maintained as a member of the bar. The Court was declared adjourned for the day.
RANK -- The title of Judge Advocate, with the rank of Major, was conferred upon the late Col. HUGGINS, as belonging to the staff of Brigadier-General CONNOR.

OBSEQUIES -- The obsequies over the remains of Col. H.T. HUGGINS were performed yesterday, the body being removed from his late residence on the Peninsula to the Presbyterian Church, followed by a large number of the intimate and personal friends of the deceased, in carriages. Rev. J.A. ANDERSON delivered a brief but feeling address on the occasion, his text being founded upon the 17th verse of the 4th chapter of II Corinthians. The funeral was attended by the Union Guards, and by the members of the Bar. At the close of the exercises in the Church, the Guards took their position along the sides of the walk leading out upon the street, holding their muskets in an inverted position, the muzzles resting upon the ground, while the body was passed from the Church through their lines to the hearse, after which they took their place in the lead of the procession, and proceeded to the cemetery, accompanied by the band of the 3rd Regiment. The banner of the company and the side-arms of its officers were draped in mourning. On their arrival at the grave they performed the ceremony peculiar to the military form of burial, and returned to the dust whence it came, all that remained of one upon whom, while living, they had conferred an honorary membership in their ranks, and to whose memory they paid all that respect which an exemplary life and character merited at their hands. With them, we extend to the widow and the relatives of the deceased, our heartfelt sympathy in this, the hour of that trial, through which, sooner or later, destiny has ordained that we all must pass.
