SAN Francisco, April 5.-Telograplis
Communication with New WeatIniuist.r,
British Columbia, is now complete. The
news of the assassination OF President Lin
coin was received at Van Couvor's Island
and British Columbis with every evidence
Of sorrOw. The English residents closed
their business and united with the Ameri-
cans in observing the obscqnies on Che Iy.h
inst. The local papers appeared in mourn
! inc and i,ar Id
was manifested.
NEw YORK, April 2j.-A constant stream
of people have been passing through the
room where the remains Of the President
are ever since yesterday afternoon. They
pass at the rate of eight per minute. At
midnight the German singers, mum 5ering
about one thousand voices, chaunted dirEes
throughout the night. Though the long
line OF citizens, anxious TO view the re-
mains, was kept moving, early this morn
ing il seemed undiminished, and sometime
after daylight was heightened greatly, eX-
tending from Warren 70 John streets, ou
Broadway on the west side Of the CITY Hall,
while there was another line Of greater
length running through the street or esst
Of the Hall. Places of business We're
closed, while the upper stories Of every
building along the route Of the procession
were occupied by anxious spec tato's.
The procession is now moving with the
remains to the Hudson River Railroad De-
pot. 1t is one of the most i'm posing and
impressive spectscles ever witnessed in
New York-indeed, perhaps, it was never
equalled. There are no vehicles in the line
OF procession, and It moves with an awe in
spring solemnity to the mournlul music OF
the various bands. The military are out
in full force. There ia also very large
number Of civic societies, &c.
One Of the Festoons in front Of the City
Hall took fire this morning, causing great
excitement as the cry Of ire was made.
The presence Of mind Of an officer, who
promptly tore down the burning drspery,
saved rush in the crowd, which would
probably have caused loss Of life.
The crowd in Broadway was So great 81
was found necessary to run chains around
the space through which the procession
was to pass in the park.
The number who viewed the remains ID
estimated It one hundred and twenty
thousand.
