QUEENSTOWN, Monday Morning.

The Cunard Royal Mail steamer the Europa, from
Boston the 26th and Halifax the 28th ult., has
arrived.

The funeral of Mr. Lincoln had passed through
New York. " His remains," the Boston Journal
says—

" Were escorted to the Hudson River Railroad
depot by a funeral procession never equalled in this
country, and, perhaps, in the world. Leading" the
line were two divisions of the State Militia, includ-
ing infantry, cavalry, and artillery, besides. a bat-
talion of marines. Immediately following was the
7th Regiment State Militia, which has done guard
duty since the arrival of the funeral cortege in this
city. The regiment looked magnificently, some two-
thirds of it doing the immediate escort duty, while
the balance was formed in a hollow square around
the hearse. Inside this .square was still another
guard of honour of military and naval officers. Next
followed carriages three abreast,. and stretching a
long distance, containing the city government, dele-
gations from Washington and other places, and in-
cluding many military and naval officers, and the
representatives of diffierent nations resident here,
Governor Fenton, ex-Governors of the State, mem-
bers and ex-members of the Legislature, and others.
Next were the enzployds in the Custom-honse, Sub-
Treasury, and Post-office, in themselves a large
body of men, and following them the officers and
ex-officers of the Army and Volunteer services. The
navy contributed several hundreds of its officers to
the procession. .The various clubs were next repre-
sented, the Loyal Leagues appearing in great num-
bers, and theTammanySociety, and the Democratic
General Committee making an effective display.
The citizens of the Pacific coast were largely repre-
sented, a striking feature being Seth 'Unman, who
presented an elkhorn chair to the late President, and
who was dressed in a curious looking buffalo suit.
The Sons of Temperance also turned out very effec-
tively; but the most remarkable feature of the fune-
ral procession was the immense number of masons,
who were next in line, each man wearing in his
coat a sprig of evergreen. _ Perhaps 10,000 of the
order were in the procession. The Irish societies
followed in nearly as great numbers as on St.
Patrick's-day. Many of their associations were
fully represented. The procession closed with large
delegations from all kinds of societies from Brooklyn,
and finally several thousand respectably-dressed and
well-appearing negroes. It was three hours passing
a given point, and before the end of it reached the
depot the corpse of our martyred President was many
miles away frum the city. Take the procession
altogether, it was one of the largest, if not the
greatest, ever seen in New York, and the utmost
good feeling was manifested. Everywhere the
passing of the coffin was the signal for all to uncover
their heads. All over the floor of the hearse on
which the coffin rested were strewn the most beau-
tiful flowers. The hearse itself was the theme of
praise from all as most appropriate for the occasion.
All along the route an immense concourse of people
lined the streets, filled the windows, balconies, stoops
and housetops, all of whom seemed of one accord in
respect to the memory of the departed. At the
depot the hearse was drawn through the lines of the
military with all due ceremony. Everything in fact
went off well. No accident occurred during the
day. Minute guns were fired all day, and the bells
tolled during the time of the removal of the remains
to the depot. After the procession passed an im-
mense meeting was held in Union-square, at which
a funeral oration was delivered by Hon. George
Bancroft."

Official bulletins report favourably of the condi-
tion of the Sewards, father and son.

A Tredeville correspondent of the Philadelphia
Inquirer gives full particulars of the arrest of
Atzeroth, a supposed accomplice of Booth, at Ger-
mantown, Maryland :

" The accused was found at the home of one
Reichter, who first denied the presence of Atzeroth
in his house, and afterwards with his wife told con-
flicting stories about him. The sergeant also insti-
tuted some examination in the neighbourhood. He
found by questioning different parties whom Atzeroth
had visited that the accused had come from
Washington a day or two before, and at the house of
one of the gentlemen while eating dinner had upon
the assassination of the President being broached
abruptly stopped eating, and made use of the fol-
lowing language :--‘ If all of them had done their
duty Grant would have been fixed the same way.'
After making diligent search for additional evidence
in the neighbourhood, the sergeant hooked up
Reichter's buggy, and, bringing both Reichter and
Atzeroth with him, returned to camp and reported
to Captain Townsend. After hearing what the ser-
geant had to say the captain directed that the pri-
soners should be taken to the head-quarters of
Major Arteman for examination. They were exa-
mined separately. Reichter was brought in first,
and at the request of Major Arteman Lieutenant
W. M. Runkle, of the 3d Pennsylvania Artillery,
proceeded to examine him and take his language
down on paper. His answers were vague and un-
satisfactory, and it was evident that he and Atzeroth
had made up their minds to adhere to the same
story. In answer to the question by Lieutenant
Runkle as to whether his cousin, Atzeroth, had been
in Washington, he answered that he didn't know ;
he believed not ; he might have come through there,
but he came from the lower part of Maryland. And
notwithstanding he was subjected to a very severe
examination he would not tell anything in regard to
the whereabouts of Atzeroth up to the time of his
arrival at his house, although it was quite evident
that he did know. After a few more questions had
been put to him in regard to the time that Atzeroth
arrived at his house, he was sent out and Atzeroth
brought in and examined. His statement was also
very vague and conflicting in almost every par-.
titular, and in the course of the examination con-
tradicted himself pointedly in a number of instances ;
but, notwithstanding, a great mass of important in-
formation was gained from him, which was taken
down by Lieutenant Runkle, for the information of
the proper authorities. Atzeroth has been on quite
intimate terms with a portion of the Surratt family,
and alleges that his business from his home, at Port
Tobacco, in Charles County, was with one of that
family in reference to a coal oil speculation that
they were about entering into. He says that he
knew Booth quite well, but had not seen him
for some time. He alleges that he left his home
two weeks since, and had been about Washington
most of the time since endeavouring to sell a horse
to the Government. In this particular his statement
verged upon the ludicrous. First, he had one horse
which he brought from Port Tobacco with him ;
then he had two horses, one of which belonged to
Surratt ; then again they were both his, and so on,
mixing his account up in such a manner that it was
almost impossible to make head or tail of it. He
had heard of the assassination of President Lincoln
while standing in Pennsylvania-avenue, but paid no
attention to it, although there was great excitement
on the street at the time. He stopped in Washing-
ing all that night, and the next morning (Saturday)
went to Georgetowq, returned to Washington, went
to Georgetown again, and took the stage for Rock-
villesur-
rounded ; from thence he went to see some of his friends,
and then went to the residence of his cousin. Reich-
ter's house is situated a short distance front what is

reticeV, almost refusing to answer any questions
that may be put to them in reference to the matter
of his conduct with them. Atzeroth is a German by
birth, but having come to this country when quite
a child, he speaks English with as much fluency as a
native. He is about sft. 7 or Bin. high, with a well-
knit and compact frame, and about 29 years of age.
His complexion is dark and swarthy, with black crisp
hair and moustache ; eyes dark grey, deep set and
piercing. His forehead is low, and the general con-
tour of his features stamp him as a man of low cha-

ratter, who would stoop to any action, no matter
how vile, for money. During the examination by
Lieutenant Runkle he manifested considerable
of a devil-may-care' sort of spirit, and seemed to
look upon himself as competent to deal with. all or-
dinary circumstances. In a conversation with the
guard he asked if he would be allowed a trial, but
as the guard could give him no satisfactory answer
his face assumed a troubled expression, and he
seldom spoke except when spoken to. Atzeroth is
evidently-the paid assassin, hired to do the deed by
those who had money but had not the courage do
it themselves. In what relation he stands to Booth
or any of the others—for I believe it a regularly or-
ganised and planned conspiracy—will no doubt be
made public at the proper time. It is reported that
he said to one of his friends some weeks since that
he was ' poor now, but in a few weeks he should
have plenty of gold.' I cannot vouch for the truth
of the remark, but I have no reason to disbelieve it."
The papers do not contain any account of the
arrest of Booth.

The Cincinnati Commercial publishes the follow-
ing letter from a Confederate officer :
" To THE EDITOR OF THE COMMERCIAL.

" I desire, through your columns, to express my
profound abhorrence of the deeds resulting in the
death of President Lincoln. I wish also to mention
that in passing through the prisons where are still
confined several thousands of my comrades I heard
of no one so fallen from the level of our common
humanity as to be in any
sense gratified at this
atrocious murder, The sentiment on every side was
that of indignation at so cowardly an attempt, and
of regret at its successful completion. In the name
of right let the oblocitiy and the punishment fall
in united horror upon the guilty, but not upon men
who have had neither part nor lot in the matter—
who in other affairs may have erred in judgment, but
certainly not in heart, since countless sacrifices attest
their sincerity, and whose strength in case of ulti-
mate Federal success can be merged once more
in the common resources far more readily by the
Divine policy of brotherly „kindness than by auy
exercise of bitter and vindictive feeling. Over, the
ark of a wise Government two seraphs bend. One
of these is clear-eyed Justice, but the other is warm-
hearted Mercy.—l am, sir, very respectfully, your
obedient servant,

" W. S. HAWKINS, Colonel, C.S.A.

Chase, Ghio", April 18."
General Hancock has issued the following appeal
to the coloured people :

"To THE COLOURED PEOPLE OF THE DISTRICT OF
*COLUMBIA aND OF MARYLAND, OF ALEXAN-
DRIA, AND THE BORDER COUNTIES OF VIR-
GINIA.

" Your President has been murdered ! He has
fallen by the assassin, and without a moment's warn-
ing, simply and solely because he was your friend
and the friend of our country. Had he been un-
faithful to you and to the great cause of human
freedom he might have lived. The pistol from which
he met his death, though held by Booth, was fired
by the hands of treason and slavery. Think of
this, and remember how long and how anxiously
this good man laboured to break your chains and to
make you happy. I now appeal to you, by every
consideration which can move loyal and grateful
hearts, to aid in discovering and arresting his mur-
derer. Concealed by traitors, he is believed to be
lurking somewhere within the limits of the district
of Columbia, or the State of Maryland, or Virginia.
Go forth; then, and watch, and listen, and inquire,
and search, and pray, by day and night, until you
shall have succeeded in dragging this monstrous and
bloody criminal from his hiding-place. You can do
much ; even the humblest and feeblest among you,
by patience and unwearied vigilance, may render
the most important assistance. Large rewards have
been offered by the Government and by municipal
authorities, and they will be paid, for the appre-
hension of this murderer, or for any information
that will aid in his arrest. But I feel that you need
no such stimulus as this. You will hunt down this
cowardly assassin of your best friend, as you would
the murderer of your own father. Do this, and
God, whose servant has been slain, and the country
which has given you freedom, will bless you for this
act of duty. All information which will lead to the
arrest of Booth, or Suratt, or Harrold should be
communicated to these headquarters, or to General
Holt, Judge-Advocate-General, at Washington, or,
if immediate action is required, then to the nearest
military authorities. All officers and soldiers in
this command, and all loyal people, are enjoined to
increased vigilance.

" W. S. HAMCOCK, Major-General United
States' Volunteers, Commanding Middle
Military Division."
The following has been officially published :
" War Department, Washington,
Saturday, April 22.
"Yesterday evening a bearer of despatches arrived
from General Sherman. An agreement for a sus-
pension of hostilities and a memorandum of what is
called a basis for peace had been entered into on the
18th inst., by General Sherman with the rebel
General Johnston. The rebel General Breckinridge
was present at the conference. A Cabinet meeting
was held at 8 o'clock in the evening, at which the
action of General Sherman was disapproved by the
President, by the Secretary of War, by General
Grant, and by every member of the Cabinet. Gen.
Sherman was ordered to resume hostilities imme-
diately, and was directed that the instructions given
by the late President in the following telegram,
which was penned by Mr. Lincoln himself, at the
Capitol on the night of the 3d of March, were ap-
proved by President Andrew Johnson, and were
reiterated to govern the action of military com-
manders. On the night of the 3d of March, while
President Lincoln and his Cabinet were at the
Capitol, a telegram from General Grant was brought
to the Secretary of War, informing him that General
Lee had requested an interview, or conference, to
make an arrangement for terms of peace. The letter
of General Lee was published in a letter
of Davis to the rebel Congress. General Grant's
telegram was submitted to Mr. Lincoln, who, after
pondering a few minutes, took up his pen and wrote
with his own hand the following reply, which he
submitted to the Secretary of State mad Secretary
of War. It was then dated, addressed, and signed
by the Secretary of War, and telegraphed to Gene-
ral Grant :
