On the 15th, at eight 7. e. the club formally demanded that General Skrzvnecki should be ordered to Warsaw. Here upon they proceeded to the castle, where the 200 national guards scarcely offered any resistance. Th e seven prisoners of state there were found murdered in their rooms, and their bodies thrown into the gutter, or hung up at the lamp posts. The r:oters then proceeded to the houses of several p e rsons already acquitted, and to the house of Correction, at which not only the agents of the but also debtors and cheats were con late police, tined ; many of them were put to death, and their bodies hung up without much ceremony. In this way 35 persons lost their lives during the first night; 3,31n,7 them were Generals Jankowski, Bukowski, Ilurtiz Salacki, and Benthowski ; the Russian Chamberlain Fenshawe ; a Russian lady of the name of Bazanow ; the Councillor of State Ilene iseiwicz. who had been acquitted ; Major Petri kowski, and several police agents. Lesorl, a con fectioner, who had been acquitted, was saved ,%ith much difficulty by General Krukowiecki.— Yesterday about noon a Russian captain of cavalry, who had been wounded and taken prisoner, was torn from the waggon as it entered the city and crselly murdered. In the afternoon Rawecki, the curator of the schools, was hung at a lamp-post. During the night, General Krukowiecki was ap p inted governor of the city. His first measure was o to send for military reinforcements, so that a repeti- ' tion of these horrors is scarcely to be expected. The French and Austrian Consuls had already demand ed their passports, the government being no longer In a condition to afford them protection. To-day, however, in compliance with a wish intimated to them, they have determined not to set off as yet. To-day the Government hitherto existing has been dissolved, and General Krukowiecki has been placed at the head of the new Government, with very extended powers. During the hours of terror he displayed much energy and personal bra very. He has already had the President and ten ii embers of the Club arrested. By virtue of the powers placed in his hands, he has appointed Ge neral l'rondzynski to the chief command in the army, who is said to have already accepted the ap pointment. BLON IF, AUG. 17.—0 n the news that General Rudiger had passed the Vistula, the Russian army broke up front Lowicz on the 15th, and, without having met with any resistance from the enemy, advanced on the 16th to Blonie, sixteen English miles from Warsaw. The courage of the insurgents seems to be greatly sunk, as is proved by all the concurrent accounts, and by the nume rous deserters ; these, in larger or smaller parties, come daily to the Russian camp, and are sent to their homes. The head-quarters of the Field- Marshal are at this moment in Blonie, though the greater part of the troops have already advanced nearer to Warsaw : it is probable the head-quar ters will follow to-morrow. The crisis is at hand; all must soon be decided. HEAD -QUARTERS, NADARETW, Ave. 18.— A long bulletin details the proceedings of the Russian army on its advance from Lowicz. The Poles retreated without fighting, only there was a slight skirmish at Szymanow, where the bridges were broken down. Szymanow was partly burnt. The enemy every where retreated, and having gained an advance, were not seen the next day, the 16th, till near Blonie. He abandoned the left bank of the Utrata hardly firing a shot, but proceeded to burn the bridge, and seemed disposed to dispute the passage, but at the approach of the Cossacks they retired, and did not hinder the Russians from the stopping the fire, and restoring the bridge. Many stragglers very quietly suffered themselves to be taken prisoners on the right bank. The whole army encamped in the evening round the head-quarters at Blonie. On the 17th, in the afternoon, Count Vitt, with fifty squadrons, 900 Cossacks, and five batteries of horse artillery, proceeded to reconnoitre towards Warsaw. The enemy bad sent two battalions of the 3d regiment of infantry, the Kalish regiment of horse, and two cannon, to the village of 13roniczo. This force was commanded by Colonel Gallois. The Russians having sent a large detachment in the Tear of the Poles, cut off their retreat to War saw. Only a few of their cavalry escaped, but not a man of the infantry returned to Warsaw. Seve ral hundreds were killed, and Colonel Gallois, with five staff, and 29 other officers and 1322 men, were made prisoners. The two guns were taken. To-day the main body advanced to Nadarzyn, the vanguard to Roszyn, seven (English) miles from Warsaw. A brigade of hussars remain in Blonie. General Ger stenweig, with another brigade of light cavalry, is near Piasceznow, whence he communicates with the corps of General Rudiger, which is advancing from Radom. The bridge over which this corps pn,ed the Vistula at Josefou, will be brought to Pclaway, and thus the old line of operation be re stored to the army. No certain information can be non, whether there are sufficient magazines of provisions in Warsaw to hold out for a time, with out fresh supplies. Deserters and fugitives affirm that embarrassment and great dearness already are felt ; it is certain that the harvest of the neigh bouring country has not been conveyed to Warsaw, for the fields and barns are not cleared.—Prussian State Gazette, Aug. 26. The Sydney papers give the Revenue. In this day's Gazette is published the abstract of the reve nue of the colony. The total amount of the ordi nary revenue of 1830, exhibits an increase on that of 1829, amounting to 5,0951. 18s. 2id. The chief item, under the head of revenue, is duties on spirits. It is satisfactory to perceive that there has been a large increase, nearly threefold, n duties paid on spirits distilled in the colonies. The tobacco imported is peculiarly cheering.

Weather, cloudy. '' Thu Paper will be regularly forwarded by Post, on transmitting Orders to the Office, Temple Bar, London, or to any of the usual Newsmen. The intelligence received last night by the Hamburgh mail, via Prussia, from Poland, baffles our anticipations in regard to the probable or pos sible result. The late return to Warsaw of the heroic corps of Mammas t from the Neimen, consisting itself of determined partisans, and ac companied by others from the insurrectionary pro vinces, all in a state of excitement, and calling for vi gourin the government,have produced an ultra-revo lution in Warsaw. It resembles, in some of its features, the explosion whick took place in Paris, in September, 1792, when the Prussians had ad vanced to Chalons, and when the Parisians and Marselloise suspected that treason paralized their means of defence. The same feeling appears to have seized the Warsovians, on hearing of some advan • tages gained by the Russians on the Werke. Treachery became the cry of the patriotic clubs ; and former traitors, then in prison, have been unhappily sacrificed in the fury of popular ven geance. We all remember the dif f iculty which the au thorities experienced in conveying JAW' ow s tt t, and his confederates, to prison, after the detection of their conspiracy by SK It NEcK I ; and after Jankowski had paralized a division of the Polish army, in a combined movement against Re- DIGER, who, in consequence of this treason, was enabled almost to destroy another of the Polish divisions. To punish these treasons the law ap peared to the peol.le to be slow and un certain ; and we have to record the much-to-be lamented fact, that under the excitement of the patriotic clubs, the mob broke into the prisons, seized on the alleged conspirators, and in a sum mary way put the whole of them to death. All the particulars yet known, reach us through the sus• picious channel of the Berlin Gazette ; which is doubtless correct as to the main facts, but gives such a colour to them, as may be expected from avowed enemies of the Polish nation. It is, however, admitted, that after this tragedy, the governorship of Warsaw was assigned to Gen. Krukowiecki, who has appointed Gen. Proudzinski to the chief command of the army. The names of these Generals have not yet transpired in the history of recent Polish affairs; but it may be pre sumed that they have the confidence of the patriots, and that Proudzinski is an officer of talent, since it appears that the popular favourites, Dembinski, Romarino, and Chrasanowski, continue to act under him. Of these discords, the Russian General appears to have taken advantage, by pushing onward from Lowitz to Blonie and Nadarsyn, nearer the Vis. tula—both about the same distance from Warsaw, as Windsor from London. The Russians in the meantime claim • second advantage over a Polish division, under Colonel GA LLOIS. Of the opera tions and positions of the Poles, we have, by these Berlin Journals, no accounts. The circumstances altogether create intensa anxiety in all the friends of the Poles, who, in truth, are the English nation of every party. We had less hopes even than at present, when Diebitech, with his unshaken host, marched into the suburbs of Praga ; but valour and patriotism then proved an overmatch for the mer cenaries of despotism, however well trained in the trade of slaughter. Nothing in the present position of the parties, is in fact more discouraging ; for the Russians are disheartened by an unpromising and inglorious service, and by disease, which daily thine their ranks. We think it probable that the late long rest at Lowitz, has had for its object the success of certain intrigues and treasons in Warsaw ; and the explo sion of these has probably accelerated the move ments of the Russian General, in the hope of saving his friends. The arrival of Dembinski was mal-apropos : time alone will satisfy publie im patience. M. Perier has met the wishes of the people of France, by proposing to put an end to heredi tary Legislators ; but his plan tends to add enor mously and unconstitutionally to the power and influence of the throne. It doubtless is an absur dity to attempt to transmit the wisdom of le gislation, from father to son ; but to obviate this difficulty, it appears to be monstrous to create a set of Court dependents, as an indepen dent House of Legislation, by the uncontrolled and unlimited nomination of the Sovereign. Yet such is the plan of M. PERIIR. If there be some chances of folly in hereditary legislators, there is always an equal chance of independence of the Court. We expected that when this Upper House in France ceased to be hereditary, a co-ordinate power of fil ling up numbers would be given to the King and to the Chamber of Deputies ; and concluded that something like the plan of the American Senate would have been adopted. A House of Peers no minated by the King is, in truth, no better than a Privy Council, or a Cabinet of Ministers; neither of whom could be tolerated by common sense, as a third branch of the Legislature, enjoy ing a veto in the formation of the laws. It is, how ever, not expected that the plan of Paula will he carried ; and, judging of the Chamber of De puties, by the names of the Chairmen of the Com mittees, given in anothei column, it would appear that an order of men have an ascendancy, who will treat the scheme with merited contempt. In the House of Loris last night, Lord London derry sought again to put Ministers in the wrong, in regard to the affairs of Belgium, by moving for an account of the sums expended by this country in the construction of the frontier • fortresses—a question about which, the pablic, from very dif ferent motives, would be all alive. Earl Grey remonstrated on these ill-timed motions ; and the Duke of Wellington treated the interference of France, and the proposed stay of the French troops, as a very grave subject ; but the motion was agreed to, and it will b.) amusing to see the accounts. The Bishop of London afterwards renewed his attacks on the beer•shops, and insisted that they ought to be closed at 7 o'clock on Sunday evenings. He was specially hurt at being charged with hypocricy and canting. Other petitions were presented by Lord Holland, one from Mt. Benbow, and by the Lord Chancellor, and Marquis of Lansdowne. Lord Melbourne pro posed a clause forclosing them sooner in the country than in town. The Lord Chancellor then took an extensive view of the whole subject, and as he pre ferred beer-houses, which sold only beer, to public houses, which sold beer and spirits; he there fore, advised that both kinds should be subject to the same regulations. Lord Wynford quoted the power of the magis trates in licensed public-houses, as the reason for making the difference ; but the Lord Chancellor saw none. In the House of Commons, Col. Evans moved for the printing of Deacles' petition, which was opposed by Lord Althorp, and the motion with drawn. Lord Stanley presented a petition from Liver pool, that the writ might be issued, which was opposed by Mr. Benett, and supported by Mr. Wilke, Mr. Ewart, Mr. O'Connell, &c. Mr. O'Connell presented a petition from Staf ford against a prosecution under the Game Laws, carried on by an attorney, who, contrary to law, filled at the same time the office of Under Sheriff. He then presented another petition against an assessment for church-building, which led to a long conversation, on the abuses of that system. In the Committee of Supply a desultory con versation arose in which Mr. O'Connell, Mr. Rice, Mr. Hume, and Mr. Goulburn took part, chiefly relative to the minor grants to Ireland— some of which were strongly objected to, but passed without a division. The main business of the evening, Mr. Sad ler's motion for the establishment of poor laws in Ireland, then came forward. He pressed the subject with his usual great eloquence, and by the citation of an immense number of powerful au thorities, superadding a great variety of statistical details, in confirmation of his arguments. It was a speech which admits of no satisfactory abridgement, and we hope soon to see it printed separately, under the superintendence of its able and amiable author. Mr. Strickland gave Mr. Sadler's arguments qualified praise; and Colonel Torrens adduced a variety of deductions from political economy, in opposition to the principle. Mr. Robinson supported Mr. Sadler's proposition with his usual good feeling and intelligence.— Lord Altborp objected, because Mr. Sadler had not detailed a plan, and moved the previous question, which Mr. Western seconded. Mr. Veyland justified Mr. Sadler's proposition, and Mr. Shell made a most eloquent speech, in which he enlarged affectingly on the miseries of the Irish population, maintaining that a system of Poor Laws was indispensable. Mr. Stanley objected, because Mr. Sadler 's was a general proposition. Mr. Leader sup ported the principle of poor laws with much energy, and Lord Morpeth thought a system of Poor Laws for Ireland was necessary. Mr. Rice said that Poor Laws in Ireland would produce a mass of evil. Several other members spoke, and Mr. J. Smith urged the adoption of the resolution ; and finally, in explanation, Lord Althorp stated that he did not negative the proposition, but he was not prepa-ed to acquiesce at that time. On a division, there ap peared only (34 fur the previous question, and 52 for Mr. Sadler's resolltion. Our Deal Letter mentions the expected arrira! of the Talavera and Wellesley of 74 guns, and the march and embarkation of the 89th Regiment, the reported object being the occupation of Antwerp.

Often do we differ with this Magazine on its politics; sometimes hesitate in admitting its dicta u sound in literary tote; but Dever can we attribute to it tameness, common. place, or want of originality s on the contrary, we consider it to be about the first, for its literary merit, of its order of publication. Many extracts in this number are excellent. " The Political &ate of Europe " stirs up many serious re flections, if we cannot always accord with all it states. The critique on the " Novels of the Season" is a smart speci. men of flagellation, which will not be soon forgotten by some of the authors alluded to. Indeed it is, on sevetal oc casions, we think, too severe for the offence. We cannot enumerate all the striking articles, but we shall say a word or two with reference to one ; that on the plagiarisms or imitations of Thomas 3loore. We confess ourselves admi rers or that poet, and do not think the fterary merit of an author much diminished by finding that he has gathered in the course of his reading a few hints which his genius has worked into his own web ; but we have long known that Moore has not always owned the literary debts which he incurred. In addition to the instances pointed out in this number of Frazer, the following has occurred to us as an instance of the kind. In his beautiful National Melodies we find the following little song called— NETS AND CAGES. Come listen to my story, While your needle's task yo u ply, At what sing some maids will smile, While some, perhaps, may sigh. Tao' Love's the theme, and Wisdom blames, Such lurid songs as ours, Yet Truth sometimes, like Eastern daines, Can sp:ak her thoughts by towers. Young Chloe, h:nt on catching Loves, Such nets had leaned to frame, That none in all our vales and groves E'er caught so much small game. While gen.le Sue, less given to roam, When Chloe's nets were taking • These flights of birds, sat still at horn., One small neat love-age making. Much Chloe laugh's! at Susan's task, But mark how things wtnt on; These light-caught lov.ni, 'ere you could ask Their name and age,. were gone, 1 So weak poor Ci l i a:4 nets were wove, That tho' she charm'] into them New game each hour, the youngest Lov e Was able to break through them. Meanwhile ytung Sue, whose cage was wrought Of bars too strong to sever, One Love with golden pinions caught, And cited him there for ever. Instructing thereby all coquets, Whate'er their looks o f ages , That though 'Us pleasant weaving nets, 'Tie wiser to make cars. Thus, maidens, thus do I beguile • The task your fingers ply ; May all who hear, like Susan, smile, Ah ! not like aloe, sigh. Can any one doubt that the above originated in the fol lowing old French song; and if the idea be borrowed, should it not be acknowledged ? It is but fair to admi:, that the English version is by far the best. DEUX Bergeres, pour faire usage Dc l'amusement des beaux joun, Alloient chimer dans he bongo Les oiseaux qu'on appelle Amours.

The Rothsay Castle was well known on the Clyde for many years, where she voyaged between Glasgow and Greenock and the Isle of Bute, at the mouth of the river, an easy and safe navigation for which she was constructed, and not for coast ing voyages. She was purchased at a low price, and employed in conveying passengers between Liverpool and Beaumaris. We believe that the vessel had rota very good reputation in Liverpool, and that it was owing to a doubt of her sea wor thiness that the proportion of Liverpool pecyle to strangers on board when the catastrophe occur- red was so small. She had, however, been re cently repaired at a considerable expense, end the persons by whom the repairs were made have te,i tified their belief that they had made her stronger than she was when first built. This may be true, land yet the vessel may have been unfit for coast ing voyages, as she was built for a river navigation. She was commanded by Lieutenant Atkinson, gentleman having the reputation of being a good seaman, but whose obstinacy on this occasion seems to have contributed to the loss of the vessel. FURTHER PARTICULARS OF THE ROTHSAT, From the .11tmelas!er Times. the afflicting details we are enabled to add the following statement by Mr. Whittaker, of Bury, who escaped the calamity u hich betel so many of his friends: Mr. Whittaker stntcs,th;it a great number of the passengers were on board by ten o'clock in the forenoon, the hour at which the vessel was atlvei t:sed to sail, but they were detained till 11 o'clock, in order to get a carriage on baud belonging toMr. Foster of London, who was a passenger. Mr. ferry, a steward of the Earl of Derby, a ho, with the whole of his family and a female servant were also passengers, complained of the delay to the Captain, and threatened to publish the circum stance in the newspapers. To this the captain made no reply. In obedience at length to the C 0111111111146 of the captain, the men attempted to raise the an chor, but being unable to do so a passenger assisted them, the captain se eariug at his men all the whiie. Nothing to create any Marna transpired till they neared the Floating Lights, when the spray began to sp/aFh over the vessel.
