FAMINE IN THE NORTH-WEST
PROVINCES.
BOMBAY, Fn. 12.

The famine in the north-west provinces is assum-
ing a more serious character. The failure of the
spring crops appears to be certain. The inhabit-
ants of Cutch and Frarancord (1) are also starving.
It is feared that the famine will exceed anything
of the kind within memory.
Singular frauds have been detected in the elec-
tric telegraph office.
The Bombay Timm says :
"The paper currency bill is to be remodelled
or abandoned altogether.
" The tariff on piece goods and yarn is to be re-
duced.
" The Inam commission is breaking up."

WARSAW.
THE PUBLIC FUNERAL

A correspondent at Warsaw writes on the 2nd :
—" I have just returned from the funeral of the
victims of the 27th, and I hasten to tell you that
all passed off in perfect order. It is impossible
that you can form any idea of the imposing spec-
tacle. The whole city and surrounding districts
took part in it. The number who were present is es-
timated at 150,000. Order was maintained solely
by students and citizens ; not a public agent, not
I a soldier, showed himself throughout the day.
General Paulucci, on horseback, was the only man
who wore a uniform. All the schools, the girls
and young men, the congregations, carrying tlagS,
to the extent of at least 100; more than 10,000 work-
men, and the whole city, marched in serried ranks.
The bishop and the Christian ministers of all
sects walked before the coffins, which were all alike,
of black wood with silver nails. Some martyrs'
crowns and large olive branches were placed upon
the biers. The rabbi and the Jewish clergy fol-
lowed the bodies. In the spirit of toleration and
fraternity, the managers of the ceremony proposed
to the rabbi that be should walk by the side of the
bishop, but this he declined because the Jewish law
prohibits his walking before a coffin."
