The national Polish flag, draped in black crape, preceded the funeral cortege. Tho sr mice was performed according to the Church of Eng. land ritual, when, amidst the most profound silence, A. Zabicki delivered a most impressive oration in the Polish language, expatiating on the virtues of the deceased, and impassionedly depicted the great loss the Poles had sustained in the death of their departed brother. This was followed by an eloquent address from Mr,. Richardson, which ho concluded by reciting the following very beautiful lines composed by Mrs. Richardson for the  occasion : 'Tie pact—thy time of strife and pain, Thy life's ling aptly, And thnu art gone where pain shall cease, And tears aro wiped away, At rest—in peace; we leave thee hero Beneath our English skies, No longer Exile in the land Where thy bravo soul shall rise, Son of that Noble Land for whom Thou wouldet have died to save, Her tyrants cannot reaoh thee here Within thy 'quiet grave. Free tears are shed above thee now; This shall thy requiem be— " Tho Patriot spirit cannot die, And Poland shall be free." After another address by a'. Polish exile, in the Polish language, Mr. J. R. Taylor advanced in front of the grave, and drew the attention of those present to the uncertainty of human life, and the joy they should all feel that their departed brother had well performed his mission to this world, and that other Polish patriots would soon rise up to take Lis place. He expressed his deep sorrow teat Mr. Edmond Boales, the President of theNationalLeaßue for the Independence of Poland, was not present to take part in the proceedings, and read the following passage from a letter, apologising for his absence, written by him to Captain Bohnynski:—" I received the news of Lieut.-Colonel Nowoeielski'e death with unfeigned sorrow. I honoured him whilst living as one of the noblest minds and purest hearts amongst your patriot band ef Polish emigrants, whose devotion under the moat cruel persecutions, and the most severe trials to their own country and the rights of other nations has bound me with loving loyalty to their cause and to Poland for many, maw. ,y years. I shall ever cherish his memory with a pious affee• tion. Pray, express this for me, if necessary-"my heart, if not my person, is with you. May Almighty God, in hie all ruling and all directing providence iu Christ Jesus our Saviour, yet realise all the desires and wishes of our departed friend for the reestablishment of Poland, the peace of Europe, and the welfare of mankind." Mr. Taylor:concluded by emphatically expressing his belief t hat the Almighty was with them, and that Poland must and would be free. The cortege then left the cemetery, End the proceedings terminated.  It is said that the debate on the French budget will give rise to an incident to which great interest is attached. An amendment, proposed by M. de Jan* supported by 12 members of all parties in the Chamber, among whom is Id. Jules Fevre, will bring before the Corps Legialatif the history of Leserques, who was executed many years since for the robbery and murder of a traveller on the Lyons road, of which crime he war atterwares proved to be innocent. The object of the amendment is to restore to his descendants a sum of 54,625 f. confiscated by the State, together with the interest from the year 1796. The daughter of Leserques, on being refused justice by the Minister of Finance of that day, threw herself into the Seine and watt drowned.
