WARSAW.

A lerter from Warsaw, dated 2d March, says :
" I have this moment returned from the funeral
of the victims of the 27th February, and I hasten
to inform you that everything has taken place in
complete order, and that the city is perfectly
tranquil.

" It is impossible to convey an adequate idea of
the imposing spectacle offered by this ceremony.
The country as well as the city took part in it.
There must have been 150,000 persons present.
"Order was kept simply by the students and
citizens ; not one agent of police, policeman,
or soldier was visible during the day. General
Paulucci, on horseback, was the only person in
uniform.

" All the schools (boys as well as girls), the Con-
gregations with flags, at least 200 in number, more
than 10,000 workmen, accompanied by the whole
city, followed in close ranks.

" The Bishop and the clergy of every confession
marched in front: of the coffins, which were all
alike of black wood, with silver nails. Wreaths
and branches of olive were on the coffins.
"After the coffins came the Rabbi and Jewish
clergy. With a sentiment of toleration and frater-
nity, the commissaries of the ceremony had invited
the Rabbi to walk by the side of the Bishop, but he
declined, as, according to the Jewish faith, he
cannot walk before a coffin.

" Order was not disturbed for a single instant,
and continues to prevail in the city. General
Paulucci has requested the Committee, of Citizens
to lend him their aid for a few days more, to per-
form the duties of the police.

" The address to the Emperor is said to have
already received 60,000 signatures."

The exiled Mexican Bishops had also arrived at
Havanna from New Orleans.

The sugar-market was heavy, with downward
tendency.

cipated.

MR. LAING.

(From the Times' City Article.)

The following most uncourteous and wholly un-
provoked letter from the chairman of the Commit-
tee of Investigation of the Great Western of
Canada Railway imputes to the remarks in yester-
day's City Article on the case of Mr. Laing the
dishonesty of recommending the public to read
Mr. Laing's evidence, with the hope that they will
not take that advice, but accept a " perverted"
view of it. The chairman omits to point out the
perversions of which he complains, and, while
he denounces the article as the partial and unfair
pleading of a mere " advocate," cites a considerable
portion of it to show that he considers it-to repre-
sent sufficiently everything that could bear with
severity upon Mr. Laing : _ _

" Wednesday, March 6.
" Sir,—The Times' City Article of this day, with refer-
ence to Mr. Samuel Laing's connection with the Great
Western Railway of Canada, mingles its elaborate defence
of Mr. Laing with many very severe censures of the Com-
mittee of Investigation, and, in so doing, makes a few ex.
tremely short extracts from the report recently addressed
to the shareholders. Dealing in a like manner with the
Times' City Article, how will the following extracts from
that article read as coming from the powerful advocate of
Mr. Laing?
" He admits that it was at the time part of his business
to assist in getting up public companies for a definite remu-
neration—a fact which has for years been well known, and
which, if it is to be used in a damaging sense, should have
been brought forward previously to Mr. Laing's being called
to high offices of State, and not after years of service, at the
most critical period of his duties.'
" The report (Mr. Laing's examination) reads like that
of a cross-examination in some inferior court.'
" There is no reason to doubt that the committee only
desired to do their duty.'
" ' It may be considered that Mr. Laing's evidence shows
laxity, or want of caution, or worse.'
" There may be more yet to come out.'
" Strong animus' is alleged against the committee. Any
six persons sitting as an impartial jury may feel indignant
upon the discovery of great wrong.
, The committee desire nothing more than to echo the
recommendation of the Times City Article, 'that all persons
should carefully read Mr. Laing's evidence before they
form a judgment upon the matter.' But I cannot help sus-
pecting that the writer of that article entertains a hope that
his advice will not b-' followed, and that, instead of perusing
the evidence, the public will be content to take his perverted
version of it,

" Mr: Laing's proceedings, as well as those of other per
sons, will become the subject of investigation in a court of
justice, and until judgment shall be pronounced by autho-
rities to which even the Times must bow, I trust the coin
luittT) will receive credit for having patiently and laboriously
inquired and faithfully and honestly reported.
" I am, sir, your most obedient servant,
" H. H. CANNAN,
" Chairman of the Committee of Investigation,"
