POLAND.

A correspondent of the Side gives the following
particulars of the funeral of the Countess AndeS
Zamoyski :—Her obsequies took place at Warsaw
last week. The government looked forward to the
ceremony with great apprehension, and used every
precaution to prevent any demonstration that might
disturb the public tranquillity. It was more espe-
cially in dread that the discontent which had been
caused by the recent exile of the count would mani-
fest itself on the occasion of the funeral, at which
he had been prevented from assisting. The family
had been forbidden to announce either the day or
the hour; the police directed that it should take place
at 6 o'clock in the morning, and only the most urgent
entreaties were able to cause the hour to be changed
to 10 o'clock. A large body of troops were sta-
tioned round the church and in the approaches to
the count's residence, which they allowed none to
enter except the relatives and most intimate friends
of the family—and not even these without great
difficulty. A double line of soldiers was placed
along the streets through which the procession was
to pass, and the shortest possible route was marked
out for it. When the news that the obsequies were
being performed spread through the city, the po-
pulation collected from all quarters, but was driven
back in every direction and often with the greatest
brutality. As soon as the Cossacks found that they
were not obeyed as quickly as they wished, they
dealt, as they always do, random blows with their
lashes. Notwithstanding these provocations the
pcople remained calm and collected, respectfully
joining in the grief of a family which they had long
since learned to love and reverence. All ended
without any disturbance.

high prices asked, and willingly paid, for floes and clothes."

EQUALITY or THE 131.AcKS.--Govenior Blair, of
Michigan, has given an official exposition of his views upon
the question of negro equality with the whites ia that
state. As one of the committee upon the judiciary, to
whom wureferred a loiot resolution proposing an amend-
ment to the constitution relative to the elective franchise,
he says :—" Believing most folly that the time has mese
when the coloured men of America should be allowed to
assume their rightful. position as citizens of the Republic,
upon en equality in all respects with their whit* brethren,
and especially that Michigan ought not longer to permit in
her constitution a word whick creates an unjust distinc-
tion between her citizens, and denies that great principle
which lies at the very foundation of her whole political
fabric, lan come to no other conclusion than that the
joint resolution ought to peas."—New York Journal of Coat-
