Yesterday, agreeable to the arrangements for that purpose, the remains of the brave and gallant Capt. Lawrence, and Lieut. Ludlow, were interred in Trinity Church Yard. The procession was the most numerous and solemn ever exhibited in this city, and was witnessed by an assemblage of at least 50,000 persons. The naval procession of the Boats from the Navy Yard to the Battery, was highly interesting. It passed in front of the City in full view of thousands who had assembled on the wharves and on board the shipping, to behold the remains of the two gallant heroes who so nobly fell in defence of their country.
Much praise has been bestowed on our magnanimous enemy for the highly honorable manner in which they interred the remains of Capt. Lawrence at Halifax. We can assure the public, from the most unquestionable authority, that the whole expences of the funerals of Capt. Lawrence and Lieut. Ludlow, were defrayed by the Agent of the United States, Mr. John Mitchell, residing at Halifax, and that they were buried at the charge and expence of the Government of the U. States.
