Upon arriving at the Cemetery, the Rev. Mr. Durborow, the Rector of the Church of the Redemption, officiated and read the burial service of the Protestant Episcopal Church, in the most impressive manner. Capt. Carlton was justly esteemed and favorably known to our citizens generally. He was born in Salem, Essex Co., Ma . His father was an officer in the Revolution, and was with Washington at Valley Forge. Capt. Carlton, at an early age commenced to see faring life in the merchant service, but preferring to serve his country, he sought admission into the Navy. He was an officer in the Constitution, and took an active part in her brilliant engagement with the Java, and distinguished himself on that occasion for bravery and skill. He afterwards received from James Madison his commission, dated 4th July, 1815, as sailing master, and held that honorable post on the John Adams, at the time that vessel conveyed Clay, Bayard, Russell, etc. to Gottenberg. He was intimated friend of Hall, Bainbridge and Biddle, having served under these distinguished Commodores, and so highly did Bainbridge esteemed the deceased, that he appointed him to the command of the Tom Bowline, a trust he safely executed.
