The Life of Cardinal Mezzofanti, witA an Intro ductory Memoir of Eminent Linguists, Ancient and Modern. By C. W. RUSSELL, D.D. Presi dent of St. Patrick's College, Maynooth. London Longman'. Dr. Johnson characteristically remarks, " The Life of Cowley, notwith s ta n di ng the penury of English biography, has been written by Dr. Sprat, an author, whose pregnancy of imagination and ele gance of language have deservedly set him high in the ranks of - literature, but his zeal of friendship or ambition of eloquence hie produced a funeral ora tion rather than a history ; he has given the cha racter, not the life, of Cowley, for he writes with so little detail that scarcely anything is distinctly named, but all is shown confused and enlarged through the mist of panegyric." This same passage may not exactly apply to Dr. Hamill, but un doubtedly a great part of it does. We confess we rise from a perusal of this volume with very little additional knowledge. We knew Mezzofantl was a distinguished linguist before we opened Dr. Rea sell's work ; we know so now that we have laid it down. We knew that by many the extent mad value of his erudition was questioned, and Dr. Rus sell has not very conclusively disposed of that opinion. We knew that the Cardinal to a certain extent wee humble and holy—for a great student ' can never be very proud ; and a man whom emes glee were devoted to mastering every language ander heaven could have little time for gaiety and died patios —very fiery natures seldom tone down to the mere knowledge of words. Such men cannot sit still in the closet listening to the battle from afar. They are like wild birds, who, when caged, dash elm selves to pieces against their prison bare. Them who become good monks, and whose memories are held dear in cloisters, are made of different stuff. Most ecclesiastics have a kind of negative goodness, which writers on Church history, whether Protestant or Ro man catholic, have too great a tendency to admire as amain the highest virtue to which humanity can attain. It is not &natural virtue. To acquire it you man have a pliant discretion, and the vigorous training of a life. Against it the indomitable will of all great natured instinctively revolts. Such men make better teachers than learners. Mezzofanti was not one of such. We are not enamoured of him. We wonder at his memory, that is all ; his faculty for acquiring languages was prodigious, and we believe unparal leled, but it led to no results. For ethnology he did nothing- 7 -for education he did nothing. As he him self said in jest, he was a walking dictionary badly bound, and nothing more. Dr. Russell thinks be has painted a character above all Greek and Roman fame, when he has enumerated the number of lan guages the Cardinal acquired, when he has told us how strangers came to see him as a prodigy, how kind he was to his family, and what an interest he took when Cardinal in the students of the Propa ganda, to which, with that wisdom which gene rally distinguishes the Roman catholic organisa tion, he was attached. To love and esteem the man, we would fain learn something more of him than Dr. Rairiell cares to communicate. He wee no orator, no genius, no philosopher, but, save Dr. Russell, he knew 114 languages, and his life squared with eeelsostical proprieties. Mezzofanti was a yewmg =a he stirring times, when through out Europe the spirit of freedom breathed on the dry blew and they began to live. Did he ant the pMelet's part, or did he plod on with his lexicons sad grammara—and did his own beautiful Italy 110 crusied and bleeding, and shake, appeal to luta in vain? When will men learn that bad citizens can not be good men—that our noblest virtues are public ones--that there is no allegiance paramount to that which each man owes to his native land? In the facta of Meopotanti's life there is nothing wonasetal. He Werilinrel of poor parentage at Bologna, the 17th of September, 1774. His edu cation was carefully attended to from the first. At an early age he wee distinguished for his skill in the study of languages, and became a priest in the Roman Catholic church. On the completion of his twenty-third year he vi as made professor of Arabic in the Universay of Bologna, but of this he was soon deprived in consequence of his refusal to take the oath to the Cisalpinc Republic. For some time he appears to have lived cheaply and worked hard, and this part of his career may be held up to admiration, even if it be true, as one authority hints, that Msszobusti attributed his skill as a linguist to the special assistance of the Deity rather than to his pos session of great industry, capacity, and organs of speech of great and rare flexibility. What will our University does say when we tell them that at this period of life Mezzofanti, though in possesiiion of two ecclesiastical benefices, had but a ealary of 81. a year on which to rapport himself and his relatives? Indeed at this period be laid the foundation of his subsequent greatness. Undoubtedly there opuses a time to all men—the choice which came to Hercules —when the man has to choose between Oud and Mammon—then on his decision it rests whether he shall lire, and plant his feet among the stars, or whether he shall subside into an ignoble sham. According to the light that was in him, Mee zofanti acted for the best. The Austrian army of occupation, consisting of recruits drawn from all parts of that vast empire, was at Bologna, and the opportunity was one of which Mezzofanti was not slow to avail himself. Not a stranger cams to the town but Mezzofanti sought the opportunity to learn from him some language of which he was Ignorant, or the right pronunciation of each languages as he chanced to know, and his pro tress was wonderful. His knowledge, for instance, of English was so great that he beat Lord Byron at slang. We need not add that Mezzotint{ lived abstemiously. We are not surprised to learn that he had great powers of endurance, and studied in the coldest weather without a fire; but that be had only three hours' sleep does excite our astonishment, though it helps to explain how he came to be such a prodigy of learning. Dr. Russell thus delineates DINZIOTANTI •S • tmortsr, Lookin g beck .;;; bferzofantfe life, we caa trace a tolerably regale, progress to the number of languages ascribed to him through its several Megan In 1806, socording to Father " he was oominan/y re ported to be master of mare than twenty-four Gionlaars mama of him In 1812, memo, althea hit doss not specify sag somber, ne Whole a greater total than thin.

In the year 1846 he told rather Breedani ILat he knew eaventy-eight langnsgee and dialects, sal a list commealeeded to me by his nephew. Dr. Gaetano marolli, by wham lit has been compiled after • diligent examination of his deemed siacto's books and papers, reaches the astounding total of one hundred and fourteen. In 1837 Mezzofanti moved to Rome, he was raised to the dignity of the Cardinals* and there he died in 1848, trembling at the rising of the nations around —a rising so soon, elan! to be quenched in blood.

I cannot say that any of these portraitures, whether of pencil or of pen, convey a hill idea at the man. Els oonstenance was one of Ikons which 1101•BIII Drivelled stratrgely, bat yet significantly describes as "not a Laos, but a physiognomy." Its character lay fez less be the hater's than in the ewer mina. The forms, lakes ospresloiy, were unettnealve, and even issignillosat TM proportions of the fans were far from regular. The osupisaion was deed and colourless, and these daces were made still more remarkable by a small mob upon one cheek. Theo was an occasional nervous winking of the eyelids, too, which produced an air of weak ness, and at times even of constraint; but there was, never theless, • pervading expreaske of gentleness, aimplicity, and open-blotted candour, whkh alrrW off all those individual defter., and whkh so portrait could adequately embody. In thus closing Dr. Russell's life, we cannot help exclaiming " Vanitas vanitatam." Catherine de Medici, when told ticaliger knew twenty languages, said, "That is twenty words for one idea. I would rather have twenty ideas for one word." After all, Mezzofanti has left nothing but the memory of his name. With fewer languages he might have given birth to more ideas; and by means of them, he, being dead, still could speak. It would have been some thing had he merely made us familiar with the plan of study which in his case seems to have bean crowned with such success; as it is, he has died and left no sign. MUSIC. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOMO OF COMMONB.—WsozossoAT, MAT 12. (Contlimed from the /rpm* of yesterday.) POOR RATES (METROPOLIS) BILL. Mr. AUTON h►ving moved the second reading of this bill. Mr. 8l 88TCOURT opposed it, and moved as an amendment that it be read a second time that day six months. Air. BYNG said that although be had felt some regret In making up his mind to oppose the bill, that regret had been much removed by the tons of the observations of the hon. member the the Tower Hamlets. He believed that it would not only herein the number of the poor, but produce a great hefty of system. It would also tend materially to alter the value of Property. Its effete would be to produce centralisa tion In its worst and most dangerous form, and deprive the people of local self-govemenest. If the hon. member had moved for • committee, he should have been happy to sup port the motion ; but objectin g as he did to the second read of the bill, he felt boun d to vote against its second reading. _._ (Hear.) Sir B. MALL also opposed the bill, which proposed to give to the magistrates almost iodide= powers to le”' rates throughout the metropolis. Many individuals had asked his opted= as to the necessity of getting up meetings to petition ndenet the mom= but he had invariably told them they wit give themselves the trouble, for pediment would mpg consent to pm such an absurd and preposterous w t .., messare.l Hear," and a Legit.)

Mawr succeeded also in carrying catholic semecipadon. (Hear, hear.) But he did not wi sh to allow mums to enter into the oonsiderstka of this quer lion. The bill was sad to be wrong in principle; bat, " principle" was a very curious thing, and what was prin ciple one day was not principle the next. What was prin ciple with the right hon. gentleman (Mr. Betcourt) was not principle with the right hon. baronet (Sir B. Hall) • few years ago. The hon. baronet would send the tax-gatherer into every parish, for the purpose of carrying out me tropolitan improvements," but when the poor were driven by the rich into wretched localities, there was no principle laid down for repairing the injustice to which they were subjected. Now, in reality, in point of principle, there was no dithreuoebetween the two cam, and therefore the right hon. baronet ought to support the equal iaation of the poor ram. What would be the result of so doing? The total number of parishes in the metropolis was 184. The number paying under 6d. in the pound was 22, the grow rental was 1,692,3011., and the property tax value 1,689,6641. The ' number of parishes paying over 6d. and under le. was 60, the 218 rental 2,286,2891., and the property-tax value .5171. The number paying over is. and under Is. 6d. was 41, the grew renal 6, 632,4431., sad the tax value 5,294,6641. The so mber paying over la. 6d. end under 2e. was 33. the rental 2,966,1041. and the property-tax value 2,634, Tbe number payini between 2s. and Bs. was 23. the gross rental 964,8781., and the property-tax wine 854,2181. The somber paying over 3s. wee 14, the was rental 262,5161, end the property tax value 266,9311. If an average was Wrath there were very few adrift that would Naar if the general =lag amid be between la. and Is. 6d. (neer.) Dhow thousands a perms bad petitioned In devour of the proposed alteration, and very few whist it. Opened' of thirty public meth= bad ' decided in its favour, and it had received the spproval of a large number of the parochial clergy. And how had the hole which they had adduced been mat f Simply with an averment of the sacrednew of parishes, and the allegation that by this law them woad be • lavish ex penditure, and that cm mete would spend 'a great deal of money, because it would not own out of their pocket@ ; but it would come out of their pockets, taw mach as the rate would be levied on all parishes silks. Then an adeetion was made to the magistrates striking the rate. , What power did this bill give to the eassistrates? When the rates of the whole year were brought before them, they were directed to swertala whether the rates of the former year hod been properly expended, and if they found that the expenditure had been proper, then they were enabled to relieve the poor parishes which were unable to maintain their poor in aSt and proper way, sa d to have the rate levied on other parishes along with thm. An objection was made to the magistrates being the persons to exercise this power, but it was not many years ago since the magistrates had power over all matters relating to the exp.:dime of the fond Meer* poor rates. dad they had pewee le determine on the validity of poor rates now. Surely, then, they went tit to be trusted with the power which this bill gave them ? If, however, they were not the right persona to have such • power let the right hon. gentleman fix upon another body to whom the power should be entrusted. He called on the right hon. gentleman end the house not to reject the appeal which had been made to them by the thousands of persons who had petitioned in hvour of this bill, but to consider the question fairly and equitably ; and, at all swots, to give the supporter* of the bill an opportunity of proving before a committee of that hem the aUrgations that they had made. Mr. MILLER said he should vote against the second Beading of this bill, which violated the just principle on which that house acted in levying tam. That principle was, that those who were responsible for the expenditure of a tan should at the same time have the privilege of levying it. The Nil =tit o give to those who had not the paying of rake the power of expending their neighbour@ money. Reference had been made to the union of parishes for the purposes of lighting and paving, se • nt. He thought it • landmark to be avoided. rder that bill many parishes were now rated coneiderably beyond the expense of lighting and paving their own pa rishes, and the vestry clerk of one metropolitan pariah with a population a about 16,000 told him that that parish was thus put to an annual additional expenditure of 1,0001. It was said that persons lived in one parish and carried on their Imam in another. It was true that they did so, tot though they paid a small rate for the pariah they lived in they paid • large OW for the parish in which they conducted their bu.i usw, so that the one ootteMrhalsneed the other. he should vote against the bid, but if there was any fair mode by which an inequality of rating could be removed, he should have no objection to adopt that mode. Mr. T. BUNCOMBE said he came down to the house with an inclination to support the second reading of this bill, not with a view of committing himself to the principle of it, bemuse he was opposed to the principle, but with • view of having the matter Inquired into before a select committee. But after all they had beard, and after the fair speech they had heard from the President of the Poor-law Board, he put It to Mr. Ayrton whether he thought anything would be gained by referring It to a select committee Mr. LOCKE said many of the parishes in London would be greatly disappMted if the house did not pass this bill; but let him remind them that a great many of the parishes of the metropolis me opposed to it, not liking that their money at be expended by Irresponsible persons. Sir W. CODRINOTON said if the hoc. gentleense had confined himself to an inquiry a great many member, would have gone with him, as they did on • former mash= There was one serious question that ought to be bemired into—he raceme= case of parishes where there were goons meat works. He alluded particularly to Woolwich, whore the rates pressed most heavily, the goverment oceopying • kir portion of the land and Pa Meg no rates. Ile AYRTON said ft was not his lineation to press his motion to • diadem. Be bad not dealt with the Weed= d the tight he.. geatlemen as to local menairement, but he would deal with it on another occasion. He had brought forward this bill for the purpose of showing that there wee see way of dealing with that which it was said could not be dealt with at all, He =eked to extend the area, bet the the right hon. gentleman would not accept that issue, and wished to take • *Make on the local distribution of local funds. Ile would bring the subject fermi next esegion, and be trusted that by repeated disoussica they should at length arrive at a relation of the quake. Mr. COLLIER suggested that the hon. gentleman should apply his mind to the question of rating throughout the country, so that towns might be relieved from the burden of maintaining labourer. who worked in adjoining agrkml twat parishes. The amendment and motion were then both withdraws, and the order for the bill discharged. PATENT LAW AMENDMENT BILL. _ _ Mr. T.

The Royal Academy has returned to its old cus tom of giving its concerts at the Hanover-square Reom•, instead of the conflaed and ieconveniest room in Tangoed's street, where they have boa given for several years past. At the concert yesterday reoraing there wee a crowded end most fashionable meemblere, 'winding an unusual number of the nobility. We observed the Duchesses of Beaufort and Inverness, the Marchioness of Aylesbury, the Counted's@ of Desert and 13easboroagh, Viscountess Forbes, Lady Burghersh, the Dowager Lady Raglan, Ladies Stan ley of Alderley, William Peskin, Clark, lend Peking. ton ; the Earl of Wilton, Lord Howe, and the Mimes Somerset. In regard to the concert Welt, we moat observe that It was much inferior in quality to many Academy concerts that we have heard. The programme, with slight exceptions, was confined to vocal pieces from modern Italian operas—things by no means calculated to he models of classical music, or to form • plus vocal style. Moreover, there were no specimens of the attainments oldie pupils in the art of composition, which the public are entitled to expect in every exhibition of the students of our English musical Conservatory. Several of the young vocalism never thelesa—particularly Miss Loci► Foal:yoke, bliss Louise ' Van Noorden, Mims Whyte, and Miss Kate Shepherd —gave istialactory proofs of proficiency. No solos were sung by any of the male students. The vocal pieces were of a well known and familiar kind the only things new to us were a very pretty poison from Lord Westmoreland's opera, Lo 3rompiglio Tratrale, and a Terxetto from his has. The only specimen of instrumental performance was Mandeheohn's Serenade for the pianoforte, played by Mies Caroline Wal lace, • pupil of Mr. Cipriani Potter. In short this conont did not display either the solidity or variety which we are entitled to expect from these specimen' performaocee of the Royal Academy of Music. CONGREGATIONAL BOARD 07 IDUCATION.

From wheels conducted by teachers In connexion with the hosed 160 reports had been received, showing an average attendance, in schools conducted by female teachers, of 77; in schools under male teachers, of 81. Allowing for schools which have made no returns, the nntaberof children under instruction has been about 15,000. It was to be regretted that t h e system of Govern ment Education was extending its intluenoA and was likely still farther to extend, increasing thereby taxation to an extent which could hardly be contemplated, and would, as shown by Mr. Disraeli, be likely to increase in ten years to three or four millions a year. After some further remarks, the report observed that the system in Holland, and even Prussia, was, that now the bible and nll religious teaching was excluded from schools. It concluded by urgently ap pealing for the preservation and promotion of truly Christian schools. The balance sheet showed that with previous balance of 151. ile. 6d., manual sub scriptions of 4901. 17s. 61, dottaticas of 4361. es. 6d., the total receipts of the year bad been 1,7931. 18a. 11d., while the expenditure had so far exceeded the receipts as to leave a balance doe to the treasurer of 1691. 14a. 9d.

(TWOPENCE. he did not think that the fees now payable stood in the way of a patent being obtained for a really meritorioto invention. The first object of imposing the fees was to pre vail Fenian being obtained for wo rth less inventions ; the second object was to make the office at which patents were granted self- g. The result had been that all the expenses had been discharged and that there was • small surplus, but if the less which the hon. gentleman proposed ware adopted the sum raised would be only 85,0001. and, Inasmuch as the expenses were 46,000/., there would be a deficit of 10,0001., which the consolidated fund would have to make up. Up to the prawn time an annual rent bad been paid for the office, but they would soon be obliged to erect a new one. In the neat plain it was considered desirable that they should have a depository in which models could be exhi bited, and to which workmen and others would have admittanoe. The government wished moreover to form • library which should contain the specifications, not only of Engash, but of foreign patents ; the whole bei ng open to the public with out fee or remuneration. (Hear, hear.) For this purpose it was prepared to appropriate the surplus in the hands of the commissioners which had waned since 1852, and now amounted to 7,3601. The ommnioners had been offered a gmat of part of the land belonging to the South Kensington Museum ; and it was intended to add to the model rooms and library an office in which to carry on the business connected with granting patents. It having been determined that there should be fees, not for the purpose of deterring good inven tions, but in order to put a check upon worthier ones, he did not think the sums of 61. and 161. were exorbitant ; though it might be proper when the establishment had been put upon a footing to reduce the larger amount. That question did tro ll :however no w arta ; end he hoped the how* would 'eject the recklesschange proposed by the hon. condemn, which would benefit no one but the patent agents. (Hear.) He bagged to move that the bill be read a second time that 11187 Ar R few weds from liir.teffreigaz, Sir J. SKILLET, and Mr. S. EIPTCOURT, Mr. BOVILL said his artisan, had satisfied him that much injury was done by retaining bed and worthless inven tion. on Moron. They deterred others from bringing out better contrivances, or else they were made the means of ex torting money from those who had brought to refection really good and valuable inventions. (Hear, hear. Thebtll was then ordered to be read a second time that day six months. REFORMATORY SCHOOLS (IRELAND) BILL. Mr. Serjeant DEASY moved the ascend reading of this bill, the necessity for which, he contended, was not lea in Ireland than in England; for of the juvalleoffenders in that country, 38 per Dent. were wholly illiterate, and 6 knew their letters only ; while not more than 22 per cent. could raid and write. The object of the bill was to enable persons of this clam to be detained a sufficiently long period to enable them to undergo an efficient course of discipline and instruo tion. (Hear, hear.) Lad NAAS should not oppose the bill, for be thought that as the prieciple oontended for was being tried In Rag- , Lad and Scotland, the experiment might very properly Es' extratied to Irel and. (Hear, hear.) Still it must sot! be forgotten that the bill gave the magistrate very eztreoe &nary powers to commit children to what were after all no thing but prisons • and he thought that the operation of the systemin England and had not yet been so tho roughly proved as to obviate the nenseebri of its being well watched. (Hear, hear.) It should also be remembered that the number of persons under 15 convicted at the wines NM quarter swims throughout Ireland was oily 59 in one year. (Hew, hear.) He thought the act should not be extended to vagrants; otherwise there was reason to fear that persona would commit offences for the purpose of getting into these instil:aka& He thought, too. that they should be led to the voluntary exertions of benevolent individuals, and that nothing should be contributed to them from any public fond, save for the maintenance of the inmates. He hoped that the Cifof Ireland would turn their attention to the small e . wella shattered over the country, which he regarded as so many seminaries for crime. (Hear. hear.) . ' Mr. BAG WELL denied that reformato ries were in any sense gaols; at all events, that was exactly what their pro moters did not wish them to be. (Hear, hear.) Mr. HATCHELL was glad to hear the observations of the noble lord, but he must also demur to the description of re formatories as prisons. On that . point he would refer the noble lord to the speech of his r ight hon. friend (Mr. Ad- Misty), last year. Mr. LEFROY supported the bill ; and after a few ober 'adorn from Mr. STAPLETON, it was read a wood time. STAMP DUTY ON PASSPORTS. Mr. HAMHlONoiti;bieeleo;otobrizigina bill to re duce this duty.

The Polish residents at Paris have as usual cele brated the anniversary of the 3rd of May by attending divine worship in the Church of the Assumption, and by a subsequent meeting at the Polish Library, L'Quai d'Orlesns. The liberal sad monarchial constitution of 3rd May. 1791, was, as it were, the dying mongol indspendent Poland. The remembrance of this act, which wee applauded at the time by every respectable statesman in Europe, Is dear to the Poles, although the very benefits that it promised in a certain measure accelerated the partition of the country by the governments who, having resolved 14 destruction, could not allow renovating reforms to be introduced in the State. _ At the meeting Prince Crartoryski delivered a speech, of which the following are the moat remarkable An important and fandamental chengellis r aCtdto be accomplished in that portion of our fatherland that hue fallen under the dominion of Russia. The attention of Zuropo es well as of Poland is fixed upon an attempt, the object of which is to elevate and ameliorate the condition of the most numerous class of the inhabitants—our brothers as Poise and as Christians. On the invitation of the supreme antheeity in the fiats, delegates representing the proprietors of each pro vince or government are formed into committees to deliberate on certain proposed reforms. Is it just, beesum Masada beraunns are found to require time and redaction, to seams the delegates of placing obstacles in the way of reforms which have long been solicited by the class they represent P Cer tainly those who do so must have forgotten that which the present anniversary gives us the right to recall to their mind. In 1791, as long as sixty-seven years ago, the but diet mennbled in independent Poland, in adopting certain Ines awes laid before it, moolairoad a solemn engagement to fulfil a duty the accomplishment of which had already been too long postponed. Who an doubt that the reforms I snob to, bathe ars the mnandpation Of the would long ego have been quietly and peacefully out in Poland had it not been for the Invasion sad the dismemberment which - afterwards set ab immediately nought ail the hopes and aspirations of the nation--had It not been for the endeavours of hostile governments, who by their ukasee and regulations did their best to disorganise society in Poland by perfidiously exciting one class of the inhabitants against another ? Not only during the wars of independent , * in 1794 and 1831 did the Polish nation again express its determination to car ablish tree connects between wawa farmers and proprietors of land, bat the latter have Mime then repeatedly petitioned the govern ment to be allowed to introduce such contemn, but have up to this day invariably met with a refusal. It cannot, therefore, be doubted that the Polish provinces of the Russian empire will beaten to prove under the present ekomstamses the elevation and wisdom of their mews in =Men to. the reforms which they have at last been called lipid to propose. They will not fall to respond to the appe y liberal views of the present sovereign. The committees Ice jilesse provisoes know too well that nothing is more pain ts! then pi:44ga uncertainty, when once a question has bean rani as to the existing relations between two parties, are of which has been injured in its rights, while for this very ream the interests of the other also see endangered. In the face of so urgent • necessity the wealthy classes of Poland will, I am sure, be reedy even to impose sacrifices on themselves, as soon as a thorough study of the subject shall have opened their eyes as to the importance of the object to be attained and of the dangers to be ob elated. The principal difficulty evidently arises, not out of the future pecuniary relations between the proprietors and the liberated peasantry, but out of the • cir camerae* that the Russian government contemplates leaving in the hands of the lord of the soil the charge of levying taxes and recruits, and of carrying out the local police. However, if the government be really determined to itct the rights of property, all the instincts 4 the heart and all the calculetione of self-interest will soon tend towards the establishment of a state of things in which every man shall enjoy entire preteens] liberty and 'quaky rim the laws. It is beyond all doubt that that which ensure! the liberty and the permanent well-being of the peasant-farmer must also ensure the interests of the proprietor. Clod has bestowed upon the Polish race qualifies and talents which have ban repeatedly manifested in the course of asggeess ,, to the glory of the nation and the advantage of its neighWElt In one quality only we are failing. We have never been able to persevere in spontaneous organisation for action, and to submit ourselves to the nemesary discipline, and this has been the source of all our misfortunes. The destiny of na tions is in the hand of Providence. It le not given to man to precipitate is decrees; to attempt to do so is to merit defeat. But whatever be the future which God reserves for us, there is one lesson which I would Gin leave to my °win try—a lawn applicable to every situation and to every enter prise. Whatever be the task we wish to accomplish, let us begin by placing ourselves under one governing direction. Under all circumstances, we ought to jimmies this, and, so to say, contract thebabit of It. Would that each one of us would make it • point of honour to implant in our nation that spirit of discipline which is the condition of arty, ceder, and power, and which is the sole virtue in which we have been failing. Then, whatever be the fate that awaits us, our friends abroad, and even the powers that have been imposed upon us, will have for Poland an esteem and • regard which, in good fortune or in bad, will re dound to the advantage of the country." The noble orator expressed hie eatisfaction at seeing the alliance between the two great Western Powers maintained in spite of the dangers that have threatened it, and then added The pru dent and widuous care which the two nations take to "save the alliance" sufficiently proves that in their eyes it is still necessary, and that the peace which was so hurriedly concluded does not se yet seem to theta quite secure. But between two powerful neighbouring atatea national susceptibilities are wily roused, and soon acquire an envenomed character when a great object to be attained in common no longer necessitates that co-operatics which holds all rivalries in check. The duration of this alliance is desired by every one, because, in reality, it can rabserve no criminal project, no plan of conquest or et partition detrimental to other states. It seems, on the contrary, forced into combating evil, into protecting the weak, and into promoting `welly the well-being of the human race. Were these essildsms of its existence to be violated a rep rint would Inevitably ensue, and fearful misfortunes be the eerrequence. The Prince farther did homage to the deco- Grand excellent spirit manifested by • body of Poles, which, tinder the command of an officer of tare merit, has been organised, since the peace, in the Caucasus among the Cif. 41•11141101. He alluded, at the same thee, to oartala Euro pean volunteers who, after having declared themselves bins /mimeos, in order to gain the confideuce of the Turk, and the Cirousians, have been detected in keeping up secret oom mtmiestions with the enemy, and have coufeesed that they had served Russia even during the last war, and that they had done so out of hatred to another power, and out of blind love for their country. Such, gentlemen (said the Prince in concluding), are the acts of these who Si. bound by no human or divine laws. They trample under foot the most sacred duties, they deny their faith, they even emancipate themselves from the rules of simple pro bity ; in their cold-hearted and blind perversity they look upon treason, aassimination, and MUM as virtuous and clever policy. Woe to those who would t theineelves by. seta which spring from • truly disoolical source. Whether they be nations or governments, they are sure to reap male diction and opprobrium. Happily Poland runs no risk of this kind. Her owe is insepara ble from that of justice and civilisation, and of the equilibrium and lasting peace of the world—for the peace of the world, established on justice, cannot be conceived without the radical and perfect redemp tion of the mime which has deprived Poland of her indepen dence., bat which has left her right untouched under the guardianship of Him who is Eternal Judea Tax LONDON GENERAL Porrtam' Bawasoimwr AASOCIAIrIuX.—Lest evening the first he rsrarly general meeting of the above as was dat the George Hotel, Alderessabory; Mr. Beejainin (Copestake. sad Co.) presided.

LICENSID VICTUALLER" ASYLUM The thirtieth anniversary festival of this institu tion wee held last evesing at the Highbury Earn Tavern— OOTAV Ire EDWARD Coors, Esq. (of the firm of Means. Ind, Coop., and Co,. of Burton-on-Trent and Romford), in the chair. About 600 meow sat down to dinner. From the report of the committee, which was read by the Btcarraay (Mr. Foster), it appeared that the committee had come to the determination to erect 15 new dwellings on the ground of the asylum in the Old Kent-road ; the new buildings were to be called the Albert Wing, and his Royal Highness the Prince had been pleased to intimate his inten tion of laying the foundation-stone on Wedne,dity, the 23rd of June. A sum of 2,9131. would be required for the build ing and 3,78 W. for the endowment of the new erection; but the chairman of the day (Mr. O. E. Coope) had, on the occasion of his visit to the asylum on Friday Wt, undertaken to miss amongst the friend, of his firm the amount required for six of them, and the principal blowing firms of the metropolis had subscribed 100 guineas each to the new fund. During the peat year the subscriptions had amounted to 3,6271. 12a., the legacies to 5731. 12e. 9d., and the annual ball produoed 2001. From the opening of the institution 396 inmates had been received, 248 had died, and 160 were now in the enjoyment of the benefits conferred by it. The CHAIRMAN, in proposing the toast of the evening, " Prosperity to the Liceneed Victuallers' Asylum, and gno mes to the Albert Wing," said that since his firm had the honour of receiving a deputation from the society his atten tion bad been naturally directed to the subject which called them together, and he could not but come to the conclusion that they, sea bolyof traders, presented an unusual instance of well-organbied combination fur legitimate objects. They bad established a Trade Protection &day, they had an in fluential insurance asaiciation in connexion with their body, they had erected and endowed schools for the education and clothing of the children of the poorer members of the trade, and they had also established • journal which now held a high position. He regretted that so many members of the trade still held aloof from the society. Only three out of every five in the metropolis were members,. but be hoped that before the end of the year the three would get the two to join. At every election there were at least 60 or 60 eligible candidates to fill about one-tenth that number of vacancies. The committee had therefore telt bound to takes tet s :erect additional dwellings, and he was lure the undertak would receive every support. He had lately visited in stitution, and from what he saw, be fah they were all much indebted to those gentleman who exerted themeelves to promote the comfort of the inmates. Amongst the other toasts were, " Success to the first of Messrs. Ind, Coops and C 0.," " The brewers, distillers, hop Interetuate, Ac., supporters of the institution;' "The pest and present officers;' " The ladies," Ac. During the evening subscriptions to • very large amount were received, including 300 guineas from led, Coope and Co., exclnalve of an annual inibecription of 30 guinea; the chairman, 100 guinea"; Otto.
