IN NEW YORK.

NEW ORK, March 14.-The remains OF
Charles Sumner were taken from this city
to Boston to-day in special train, and their
departure was characterized by almost as
little demonstration as the reception last
night. Only few people gathered in
front of the Fifth Avenue Hotel when the
coffin was borne to the hearse, and the only
organized delegation to accompany the re-
mains to the depot, other than those from
Washington, was committee Of the Union
League. The city furnished the police es-
cort. As the funeral procession moved
through Fifth Avenue to the depot, many
citizens removed their hats, but many more
seemed unconscious that the hearse con-
tanned the remains of Charles Sumner.
