In the beautiful retreat of Pulawy, the Prince, after his retirement florin public life, spent the principal part his time, occupied with domestic endearments, the improvent of the country, and the promotion of literature. His mother, a venerable lady of ninety-two years of age—his sister, the Princess of Wirtemberg—his wife, of the illustrious house of Sapieha, and two fine children (boys) form his family. He was drawn from his peaceful retire ment by the despotic proceedings of the Emperor Nicholas against the members of the patriotic asso ciation. He then declared openly against the Court, and placed himself at the head of the oppo sition. Since the late revolution, all eyes are di rected to hum as the future sovereign. His im mense properties are now chiefly in the hands of the Russians ; but the privations to which lie is tin:s exrsed, produce no alteration in the " even tenor of his way." Lelewel, the accomplished historian of Poland, formerly a professor in the universities of Wilna and Warsaw, is another member of the national go- , vernment, as well as the minister of public instruction. Deeply versed in the history of the world, but most especially in that of his native country, he has applied his experience to passing events ; and thus shows that profound literary re research is perfectly compatible with practical po litical wisdom. He is the author of many histori cal works, particularly of an admirable epitome of Polish history designed for the use of children; bat the work to which is attached political impor tance, was his critique on the fabulous history of Karamsin. On the report of the censor, the au thor became the subject of persecution, both under Alexander and Nicholas. In consequence, he re signed his chair. He is much esteemed and trusted by the people, and has thus been enabled to give a favourable bias to the !evolution. Vincent Niemoyewski, who has been already mentioned as a victim of Russian tyranny, is the third member of the government. I n the vigour of life, he possesses a powerful eloquence, which formerly rendered him a formidable opponent of the government. He was honoured by the pailicuiar hat:ed of the Grand Duke Constantine, who en deavoured to undervalue him by desiniling him as a servile copyist of the late Benjamin Constant. His whole life rebuts the imputation of his being a copyist ; and his knowledge of his country and her resources is scarcely equalled. Durin.., his in voluntary residence under the protection of the Cossacks, he composed an admirable essay on con stitutional government. He was named minister of the interior by the Dictator, previous to his be ing called to his present exalted station. Bonaventura Niemoyewski, the younger brother of the preceding individual, appeared in public life at a later period. His knowledge is consider able, his oratory vigorous and chaste. His prin ciples and talents resemble those of his brother, whose pardon he sought to obtain from Nicholas, bit it was refused with agravated insult. He now 'ibis the portfolio of justice. Theephilus Morawski, another member of the national gove:nment, is also remarkable for his patriotism. Cool, resolute, and faithful to his en gagements, he commands respect iu ever• situa tion in which he is placed. lie is the brother of Tileodore Morawski, who, as we have already mentioned haviug escaped to Lug !and to at old the l•e;secutions of the Grand Dike, was followed by 1.1, Imperial Highness, chief of the Secret General Fanshaw. Barzykowshi, the last member of the govern ment, was, di.ring several fet.:4ollS of the. Diet, a deputy ; and was oistinguished for his activity, elo quence, and knoe ledge. A 111 NT FOIt 601t0VOUXONGEAL-ORATOUS.— A clown was imesent at a rebate of the Doctors in tire University of Oxford. Though he v: equally a rtran6er to the subjects and the language, he eeemed to listen with peat attention, and to receive much pleasure from them. A student who stood near him, inquired what amusement he could find in hearing such disputes, since it was impossible he could know who had the best of the argument.

Yesterday. a meeting of the inhabitants of Anne's parish took place in the vestry-room of the church, for the purpose' of considering the propriety of establishing some provision for the poor of Ireland—George Howell, Esq. in the chair. Surgeon White submitted three resolutions upon the prin ciple of poor-laws, which, after 4 brief discussion, in which Mr. M. Costelloe and Mr. B. Brien took a part, wee. adopted. The following is the petition which was sanctioned by the meeting, and 'which is to be presented to the House of Lords by Lord Brougham, and to the House of Commons , by :11. T. Sadler, Etq : HUMBLY 811ZWETH, That the state of poverty and destitution of the humbler classes throughout Ireland, is appalling ; and your petition. ers observe with dismay, that it is on the incr.ase. That starvation--a solute starvation—is the lot of thew sands of the poor Irish, whilst ships laden with cattle and provisions are freighted from our fertile land, presenting tl anomaly to statesmen of a country teeming with abut dace, while her people perish in the ditches and on the high medal for want of the common necessaries of life ! That your petitioners humbly submit to your honourable House, that the expedients hitherto adopted fur remedying or alleviating such a deplorable state of things—namely, by voluntary contributions, or public collection, is uncertain in Its effects, and tending to sanction a system of beggary and servile dependance, humiliating to, as well as derogatory to the character uf, the country. That your petitioners feel convinced that no such tempo rary expedients can remedy the glowing evil, or perma. macently better the condition of the poor ; and they humbly submit to your honourable house, that the poor of Ireland require. and are entitled to, a legal right to maintenance and support. That it is the indispensable duty of the more affluent to provide for the support of the poorer elastics for the sick, the aged. and the infirm. That such provisions should be certain and adequate, and that human beings and natives of the sante country should not be kit exposed to the precarious chances of voluntary contributions or public subscriptions; the interests of the commonwealth requiring laws calculated to afford permanent support for the destitute, and thereby insuring the welfare and security of society at large. That the peculiar situation of Ireland (her great landed proprietors residing in another country, and abstracting so large a portion of the wealth and produce of this country tbr consumption in that o:her) more imperatively demandsa ' permanent provision for the destitute. Your petstimiers have, upon the most mature deliberation, arrived at the conclusion, that without such a system Ireland must become even more wretched,until at length society shall he totally disorganised—and asserting those first principles which entitle all to support, will seize by violence that which Is withheld from interested motives, or mistaken Icalculat '1 hat the state of the poor in the city of Dublin is die.

That your petitioners seek for a law which will guarantee employment to men able and willing to work, and which will protect a Christian community front the disagreeable sight of theit tellow.creatures perishing through want in a country teeming with abundance, and blessed by Providence with a most faille land. May it please your honourable house to take the preamble, into your con/tide:radon, and to toilet a law which will insure relief to the poor, the aged. and infirm, without smperinduc ing idleness, sloth, or vice. And petitioners, as in duty bound, will ever pray. &c. &c. The following is the resolution of the House of Commons, on which a bill he to be brought in by Mr. Stanley and Mr. ! S.

This matter stood for decisien as to the costs. His lord ship said he had consulted his Honour, from whom the matter had come on an appeal, and on the whole, having confirmed his Honour's decision on the main question, he felt bound to give costs against the petitioner, both of the ori ginal and supplemental petitions. The SOLICITOR GENERAL. Mr. Ross, and Mr. MON. TAOCK, endeavoured to resist this decision. They said the ground on which his Lordship had decided the principal question in the bankruptcy, was not that ground on which the Vice-('hsncellor had proceeded. His Lordship considered the point, as far as it regarded special pleading, clear as A.B.C. He had consulted the Common-law Judges upon it, who entirely concurred in his view of it; therefore, the parties ought not to have appealed. Mr. MONTAGUE said he valued one word stated in open Court by a learned Judge, more than a thousand that might pass betwet n such high characters in private and out of Court. So tar from this being a clear point on the special pleading, he had gone both into the Courts of King's Bench and Common Pleas for information, and the result of his researches was this—that Mr. Pollock had told him one thing, and Mr. Serjeant Wilde another ; that Mr. Justice Alderson had stated one fact in confirmation of Mr. Pollock's opinion, and Mr Blake one in confirmation of Mr. Serjeant The LORD CHANCELLOR observed that he could not now alter his opinion ; he had formed his judgment after considerable doubt, but it was necessary there should be an end to the thing sometime. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, JULY 9. The CHIEF JUSTICE intimated that on Monday he would take any undefended causes that were reads ; but if there were none forward enough, the sittings might be con sidered as having terminated that day (Saturday.) By the new Act of Parliament for the despatch of business in the Courts, the Judges were drected to sit but twenty-six days between each Term ; but, notwithstanding, he would take causes in which the parties consented to the arrangement for a week before Term. This Act, which was passed to faci litate the despatch of legal business, has operated directly to its delay. • The new extra Judge merely facilitates busi ness during Term ; but by the ridiculous direction, that there are only to be sittings of twenty-six days Between each Term, the causes of the poor suitors, who complain sadly, areas meth in arrear as ever, and even more so. The Court was occupied the whole of the day in hearing a cause which related to goods sold and delivered. OLD BAILEY SESSIONS. James .31‘ X iff. a journeyman tailor, was indicted for steal ing some new silver lace and some silver ornaments, the property of his master, Mr. Burgess, tailor, in Woodstock street; and Mr. Benjamin Smart, refiner, was indicted for purchasing the same, with a guilty knowledge of its having been sto!en. It appeared from the evidence of Mr. Burgess, that :11'Ntif was in his employment. Ott the day named in the indict ment he gave the prisoner a military coat to embroider. The ptisorer lett his work, and took with him the whole of the 'ilea lace and ornaments which prosecutor had given him In the ntorting. Thr prisoner was subsequently traced to • public-house in Windmill -street, where he was found re galing himself wi:h good eating and drinking. When taken into custody, he infotmed the constable that he sold the pro perty which he had stolen front his master to a Mr. Smart, a refiner, in Princess-street. The officer, showing Mr. Smart some patterns, asked hint if he had purchased any silver lace or ornaments of a similar description. Mr. Stuart re plied that he had, but the ar id es had been melted as soon as they were purchased. The prosecutor, not satis fied with this answer, proceeded to search the premises, and in a chat in a back parlour was found, under a quantity of o'd ;ace, the property which had been stolen from the prosecutor. Many persons in the sane line of business with Mr. Smart wire called to give evidence respecting the price which had been given for the lace and ornaments by the prisoner ; they were unanimously of opinion that the utmost value had been bi en tar them. One of the witnesses said, that it was not at all an unusual thing fur refinets to purchase remnants of new lace. Upon his moss.examination by Mr. Adolphus, the witness admitted that the piece of lace then produced was not what he should consider a remnant. He would not him self have purchased so large a quantity. Mr. Smart put in a written detence, in which he stated that he had been in business for many years, and could defy any person to say he had ever purchased goods with a know ledge of their having been stolen ; on the contrary, he could bring many witnesses to prove that he had been the means of detectirg many robberies. The Common Serjeant recapitulated the evidence, and ob served that the question for the Jury, as regarded Mr. Smart, was, whether he had purchased the articles with a guilty knowledge. The Jury remained in consultation upwards of seven hours; and at half-past nine returned a verdict, Guilty against both the prisoners. The Court immediately sentenced M'Niff to be imprisoned twelve months in Newgate, and Mr. Smart to be imprisoned twelve months in Giltspur.street Compter. Several unimportant trials having terminated, the longest session which has occurred since the erection of the New Court was brought to a conclusion. the Recorder proceeded to pass sentence upon the several prisoners who had been tried during the session, upon whom the judgment of the Court had not been passed instanter. The following twenty-seven convicts received sentence of death, viz— Thomas Sheannan, for horse-stealing ; James Evans, for cattle stealing; John Tient'', for burglary; Geo. Smith, tor taking a stamp from a parchment which had paid duty, and affixing it to another which had not ; James Coles, Joseph Buckler and Robert Scutton for uttering forged ordtrs fur the payment of money; William Young, Thos. Horner Stone, William Dines, George Hammond, John Csrt.ey, and John I-ee, tor breaking into dwelling-houses, and conanitting larcenies therein; Ann Hyde, Geo. Wil- U'illiant Vincent, Win. Richmond, George Wy. brow, Mary Hrtherman, Charles Penrose, and Alphonse &pin, for stealing goods and monies above the value of 51. in dwelling houses ; Edward Snieethann, John Bourne, and John Cronie, for maliciously cutting and maiming with in tent to murder. S.sty-five were ordered to be transported for seven years ; fourteen for fourteen years; and sieteen for the term of their natural lives. Upwards of 200 were sentenced to WHIM of imprisonment varying front seven days to one year. Some were ordered to be privately whipped; and the judgment against George Frederick Reinhart was respited until the next session, which will commence on the second Thursday in September, until stitch day the Court adjourned. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT. SUE REV. DIR. GURNEY. Among the persons who applied last week to this Court to be discharged under the Act fur the Relief of Insolvent Debtors, was the Rev. Mr. Gurney, hector of St. Clement Dane-, whose debts amounted to 4,7281. Mr. COOKE appeared as Counsel for the Rev. Insolvent, was not opposed by any of his creditors, either person ally or by Counsel. Mr. Commissioner Halm's. after looking over the sche dule, proceeded to examine the insolvent ; and in reply to his questions, he said he was Rector of St. Clement Danes. His income from the parish, as Itecwr, was about 6001. per annum. He had, besides this, 401. a year as Evening Lecturer, and 251. for attending at the work-house. The whole of the furniture in his house belonged to Nlisa Mar garet Gurney, his daughter. The furniture which had been in his chambers, in Clement's Inn, had been seized in execution, but it was subsequently bought in at the sale by a Mr. Shiver (we think he said.) His daughter afterwards repaid mat gentleman the money for them, and it was re. stored His daughter had purchased this, as well as the other househoold furniture, with money she had received from her trietids, and not from hint. Mr. Lloyd, the creditor at a hose suit he was arrested, is a baker, and served Ihis family with bread. Mr. Cootie observed, that there was at present lodged st the banking.house of Drummond and Co. 1121. and as the present proceedings on the part of the Insolvent were at ; tended ark considerable expense, he hoped the Court would award him an allowance out of that sum, in order to meet them. The Commisstaw ea said, that 751. should be imme diately paid into Court. Alt. Ablmtt, a butcher at Brampton, was then appointed ene of the Assignees. Mr. Con.milationer Haas's inquired if Mr. Griffis, also a butcher at Brampton, was present,. as he saw by the sche dule that he was a creditor to the amount of 5001. fur meat supplied to the Insolvent and his family; and he, therefore thought he would be a proper person to be appointed the other Assignee. Mr. Abbott said that Griffis, who was his son-in-law, was not in attendance. Mr. Baker, a grocer at Kensington, to whom the In solvent owed 701. was then sworn in as the second As signee. Mr. Abbott wished to know from the Court what por tion of the Insolvent's income it would order for the liqui dation of his debts? Mr. COOKE observed, that this was a question the Court could not decide on, as it had no power in the case of a Clergyman. The legal mode of proceeding in such cases was for the Assignees taking the order of Court to the Bishop of the diocese, and he might require sequestration. The Comwtssiowra said, that though the Learned Counsel might be right in point of law, yet, in point of policy, it would be better for the insol vent to enter into some arrangement with his creditors, without compelling them to resort to a remedy at law which would be so ex pensive. Mr. Coolz said that he perfectly acquiesced in the opi nion of the Court, and offered 1001. per annum in liquida tion of the debts. Mr. Abbott was astonished that out of an income of 7001. per annum so small a sum should be offered, particularly as the insolvent himself had offered, last year, the whole of his Easter offerings, amounting to 2301. to satisfy his creditors. The Rey. Insolvent admitted that such was the fact ; but, on mature consideration, he feared that if he did so he must spin, and very shortly too, become embarrassed. He was at present paying large sums for insurances and annuities, which rendered him quite incapable of giving up more than the sum named by his Counsel. The COURT ultimately decided that the 7M. should be at once paid into Court, and 1001. per annum afterwards for the benefit of the creditors. The Insolvent said that it was his strongest wish that his creditors should ultimately be paid what he owed dun. The time at which thelnsolvent's case closed being too late to pay the money into Court, and obtain his discharge, he was ordered by the Commissioner to be brought up on the fol lowing (this) morning, when he will be liberated. POLICE REPORTS. Bow-Slterr.—Joseph Carter and Edward Johnson were charged with having stolen a pony, value 51. the pro perty of a man named Hawkins. The horse was put out on Peckham Nye Common on Thursday night, and on the fol lowing morning it was gone, and subsequently traced to the possession of a man named Chapman, who was offering it fur sale in Smithfield-market. Chapman stated that he had purchased it that morning of the primmer. for 31. The prisoners denied that they had sold the pony. The 31agistrate fully committed them for trial. Captain Ommanney was charged with having assaulted a lad, named James, shopman to a tradesman in Bond. street. The lad went with an account, and Capt. Ommaney, in a rage, tore it up, assaulted him, and tore his coat. The Captain, not being able to deny the fact, was allowed tostep aside, and settle the matter with the lad, at an ex pense of 31. GUILDHALL.—The attention of Sir Peter Laurie was occupied for a considerable time in investigating a profligate case, in which a widow, named Mary Ann Mathews, nu. pugns the moral character of a late churchwarden of one of the parishes in the City. It was heard some days since, and is unfit for publication ; the identity of the person ac cused was not at all apparent, so the Magistrate remanded the case for another hearing. Quzetr.statraaa.—James hope was charged with break. ing Into the dwelling-huuse of Sir Thomas Hayes, Bart. in Pratt-street, Lambeth, and stealing various articles of pro pert The prisoner, finding that he was discovered, jumped over the rails and walls of several gardens. He took advantage of • window being partly open at a house at the back of Sir Thomas's premises, kept by an Irishman, named Hely, and bolted in. He instantly ran up stairs, and tbs landlord, hearing a noise in the hou-e, quickly bolted oat of bed, and enquired what was the matter ? For God's sake let me get into your bed, or I shall be hanged, replied the prisoner. The Irishman, mistaking the prisoner tar a )Jr. Howley, who lodged with his wife in the parlour, en. quired why he had left his own bed and wife to come to his Having stripped off his clothes, and thrown them under the bed, he jumped into bed to the Irishman's wife, who, find ing a strange man in bed with her, began to scream and roar out Murder ! lustily. The husband ran to the window, and found several policemen, and a number of the neigh hours crying out that a thief was concealed in sonic of the houses. The prisoner, finding that the police con. &labial had got into the house, ran down stairs in his skirt to them, and said It's all right hue, gentlemen, se have no person in the house but ourselves, at the saute tines I calling the Irishman his father, and appealing to him if it, was nut all right. Father, indeed ! exclaimed the astonished Irishman, he is no son of mine; I thought it ass Mr. Howley ; I never saw this fellow before. The constables immediately took him into cuetotly, and on searching him, a number of housebreaking impleuteuts, and several articles of property, were found in his possession ; the letter was iden tified by Sir Thomas Hayes as his property. The prisoner was fully committed for trial. Woasuir-Sraarr.—Sarah Marshall, about ISO years of age, and Thomas Church, were brought before the sitting Magistrate, under the following circumstances : on Friday night, sonic of the police found the two prisoners drunk in the street, followed by a mob of persons, who accused them of ill-using and starving their children. At the abode of the prisoners in Gloucester-court, Whitecrosa-street, they found six miserable children huddled together upon something like a bedstead, in • corner of the apart. ment, and covered with a few tags. There was a bed and bedstead in another part of the room, upon which, it appeared, the two prisoners slept. The must appal ling wretchedness pervaded the whole place, and the appearance of the children fully justified the description given, that they were in a state of starvation. 'I he two eldest chihden, boys about 12 and 13, have sonic em. ployment, at which they earn 4s. a week each, and their mother receives ha a week from the parish ter herself and the other four children. A neighbour stated that she kept the prisoner Church, who is out of work, instead of attend ing to her tastily; and while they are out spending the money in getting drunk, the poor children are kit at home, suincumes irons morning until 12 or 1 o'clock at night without food. The prisoners were remanded. J. lienektcy was charged with stealing 91 sovereigns, be longing to t.hza West, in Bennetee-court, laity-road. It appeared that the proatcutrix had amassed the money by her industry as a chair-toner, and placed the same in a bag inside her hard During her absence the bed was torn open, and the money carried uff. The prisoner formerly lodged hh the same house, said was observed to enter the place with • strange man. He was remanded. saste.t.a.aosas.—A young woman of interesting ap pearance was brought beture Mr. Hositirts, by Mr. Aggs, inspector of police, under circumstances extremely distress ing and unfortunate. It appeared iliac the poor creature, who gave her name Emily lililwood, sated tort she was a native ut Aylesbury, whet.ce she was induced, by a letter she had received front a young man with whom she became acquainted sometime wick to conic up to London, where lie had obtained work as a car. pettier.
