would think there was but one mind, one
heart, one soul in the whole people, so spon-
taneous was the impulse. The Mai quis
Paulucei has been asked for in the place of Colonel
Trepow, but he will not enter upon his duties until
after the burial;
,till then the nation will answer
for the general tranquillity. The citizens will
mount guard night and day. T.wo men who were
distributing arms have been arrested by them, and
placards have in consequence been posted on the
walls of the houses, stating that any man found with
arms on his person would be tried as a traitor to his
country. N. amputated L.'s right hand at the
wrist to-day. The bone was broken in yesterday's
massacre. Crowds, both friends and strangers, put
down their -names in a book at his door. It is said
that this mark of national sympathy acts as a salu•
tary remr;dy for the poor invalid. He is constantly
asking for the book, and the sight of it, they say,
consoles him in his misfortune."

has gone to follow the hearse. We saw the pro-

pro-
cession pass at a distance from our windows. It
was an hour and a half passing. All the societies,
all the clergy, the charitable society, all the guilds
with their flags covered with crape, the Rabbis,
the nobility, the high functionaries; in a word, all
Warsaw followed the hearse and formed a most
solemn procession. The silence was absolute, every
step was beard, and not a word spoken. No one
was armed, not even with a stick ; there was not a
single soldier or uniform to be seen ; the ranks
were filled by the people, who set the example of
order and quietness, The five hearses were car-
ried without distinction of rank or position.
High dignitaries, commoners, Jews, students, and
labourers aided one another in rendering the
last service to the victims. They changed arms
every half half-hour, and walked without hurry
or crowding, and although the crowd consisted
of upwards of 100,000 persons, nothing interrupted
the perfect order and tranquillity. The conduct
of the people excites universal wonder and admi-
ration.

" All to-day and to-morrow the town will be
guarded by the citizens. The Marquis Paulucci
has shown himself in the streets in full dress, his
shako covered with crape. He proceeded in the
procession, and was much cheered. He said
that he would not be there as chief of the Police,
but as Paulucci, and was told in reply that every
honest man would be admitted into the procession.
I send you a copy of the address sent to the Em-
peror. God grant that all this may come to a
good end! Prince Michael is expected this even-
ing. All the shops and theatres are shut. The
town will be in mourning for a fortnight."
A letter from Warsaw says :

"The events which have just taken place at
Warsaw, and which so justly attract public atten-
tion, have a peculiar character, clearly defined in
the various correspondences which have been pub-
lished. If the movement succeeds it will be one of
the most extraordinary ever recorded by history. If
a revolution does ensue it certainly cannot be called
a revolt. It is not an armed insurrection that triumphs
—a sanguinary struggle, in which the victorious
people modify at their will a form of Government.
There is nothing of that in this instance. The immense
population, which rose like one man in the streets of
Warsaw, has employed moral strength only in a.
peaceful demonstration. Neither the brutal attacks
of the police nor the aggression of the soldiers dis-
turbed this absolute calmness, which it had resolved to
maintain. Blood was shed on the 25th and 27th of
February, but its own. While some of its mem-
bers were shot dead in the streets, not one man was
killed of the troops. Instead of returning violence
by violence the people have smothered their anger
in their heart's core, determined to suffer rather
than to be led astray to scenes of disorder, which
would have been taken advantage of to mislead.
public opinion in Europe. This cannot be called a.
suppressed revolution, nor can the Poles be accused
of having risen in armed revolt. All such insinuations
fall to the ground before the simple fact—' There
were only dead on one side ' The pacific character
of this movement cannot, then, be contested. The
Committee of Public Safety has issued a proclama-
tion declaring that ' any person taken with arms in
hand, or exciting the population, shall be treated as
a traitor to his country.' Some individuals who
attempted to give weapons to the people were at once.
arrested by the workmen and handed over to the au-
thorities. Such is the state of things ;it is serious."

Bullier's lithographic sheets contain the follow-
ing account of the brutal manner in which the in-
habitants of Warsaw were shot down by order of
General Zabolockai. The particulars are described
in a letter dated Cracow, March 4 :
" The medical students have arrested an indi-
vidual who offered to sell firearms and ammunition
to the people. He is suspected to be an agent em-
ployed by the police to excite a premature insur-
rection. The following fact, which occurred during
the late deplorable scenes at Warsaw, will have an
immense influence on the population and on the
army :—The Russian officer who received orders to
fire on the unoffending people walked out of the
ranks, and in presence of the troops drawn up in line
of battle, he declared that he did not consider such a
command consistent with his duty. He added that
his duty was to preserve order, but not to murder
women and children. He then indignantly tore
off his epaulettes and broke his sword. The people
cheered him, and, seeing the police come to arrest
him, they enabled him to escape. The hordes of
Circassian and Mussulman cavalry who form the
garrison of Warsaw have been let loose against the
people. The Russian Bashi-Bazouks have com-
mitted acts of Vandalism which will cover with
disgrace the authority who authorised them.
They struck women and children. They entered
the church of the Bernardians and sabred in-
discriminately priests and people who were quietly
praying. These savages, moreover, profaned the
blessed sacrament, and cut a splendid painting of
the Virgin to pieces. All that I have stated is
perfect truth. The officer I have mentioned is not
the only one who refused to obey the brutal orders
given to the troops. I myself saw an adjutant
named Junker who, when General Zabolockai com-
manded the troops to fire, threw away his arms,
left the ranks, and joined the people.
"The deplorable events of which Warsaw has
been the theatre will create an extraordinary sen-
sation throughout the kingdom of Poland.
" A funeral service was celebrated yesterday in
Cracow for the victims who fell in Warsaw on the
during the requzem, and all the shops were closed
27th of February. Sobs and groans were heard
during the service. The inhabitants of Lemberg,
in Austria, have likewise placed themselves in
mourning in consequence of the events which took
place l

SHIPPING DISASTERS ON THE EAST COAST.—On
Friday evening the crew of the brigantine Atlas, of Stock•
ton, was received at the Great Yarmouth Sailors' Home,
after abandoning
their vessel when exhausted by constant
Pumping. The poor fellows were picked up by a Danish
schooner, and eventually put on board a Yarmouth fishing
smack, which brought them to shore, The brigantine was
picked up derelict, and brought into Yarmouth Roads, but
while she was being towed into the harbour the hawser
broke, and the vessel drifted ashore. Fears are entertained
that the schooner Mary Ann, of Yarmouth,
