Wa usaw, JUNE 29.—The Commander-in- Chief was yesterday informed by a person deser ving of confidence of the existence of a conspiracy, :lie object of which was to arm the Russian prison ers, to make a division, and, perhaps, to deliver Warsaw into the hands of the enemy, in case of an attack, several Generals, who bad been placed in a state of non-activity. are said to have been at the head of the plot. General Skrzvnecki made his report to the National Government, who immediately ordered the arrest of (eneral Hurtig, formerly commandant of the for tress of Zamosc,and the instrument of all the atroci ties committed there while the Grand Duke was in power. Posterity will look upon the relation of these atrocities as a fable. The other individuals arrested are General Satacki, Colonel Stahecki, the Russian Chamberlain Fanslme, M. Lessel, and Madame Bazanon, a Russian lady ; General Jan kowski, now on trial for having allowed Genet-II Rudiger to escape, is also compromised in this affair. 'these arrests having become known, a crowd assembled before General I-1 ig's house, and it was with difficulty that the National Guards, who were charged to convey him to prison, preserved him from the fury of the people. Paskewicz joined the army on the the twentieth, withcnt having been de tained to perform quarantine on his passage through the neutral territory of Prussia. His head-quarters continue at Pultusk ; and the Russian army remains in the same state cf inactivity as previously to his arrival. It is a singular fact that the cholera morbus always returns after a battle with the Russians. Before the battle of Ostrolenka the malady had com pletely disappeared among the Polish troops, but has since returned with all its original violence. The Prussian State Gazette of the 4th of July, in an article dated from the Polish frontiers, gives some additional information on the subject of the conspiracy detected at Warsaw on the 28th ult. It seems that General Hurtig W 49 in regular correspondence with a Russian officer, Colonel Breudl, residing at Lemberg, in and that a certain Inez de Leo, who was formerly an officer in the Polish army, was the usual interme diate agent of the two worthies. Three miliions of florins were discovered at the house of Lessel, a con fectioner, and from the papers discovered in the pos session of the conspirators, there seems to be little doubt that at the battle of Ostrolenka the whole of General Skrzynecki's plans were betrayed to the Russians. General Junkowski, and General Bubowski, are also openly named ns having played into the hands of the enemy, allowing Gen. Rudiger to escape from them, after circumstances bad completely placed him in their power. The first intelligence of this detestable affair appears to have been brought to Warsaw from Gallicia, where Colonel Breutll scarcely ob served the caution necessary for one en gaged in such transactions, having received and opened letters from his tools in Warsaw in the presence of strangers. The plan of the conspira tors was, with the assistance of the Russian prisoners, to obtain possession of the arsenal, to arm the prisoners from the stores of that es tablishment, and by destroying the bridge of Praga, to prevent the troops stationed there from coming to the assistance of the capital. At the same time, the Russians were to cross the Vistula at Plock or Dobrzyn, and into Warsaw, which, in the absence of the Polish army, would hare been unable to offer any effectual resistance. The State Gazette also contains the following : Lithuanian Frontier, June 28.—The accounts re ceivtd here confirm in the defeat of Generals Gielgt.d and Chlapowski : the details are not yet known; but it is certain that Chlapowski was on the 24th and 25th at Kowno, with the rem nant of his corps, intending there to cross the Memel, and effect his retreat by way of Marian pol. Gen. Gielgud about the same time crossed the Memel, a little below Kowno, and the troops that he brought back with him are said to have been in a melancholy condition. It is also confirmed that Putchet leas been beaten at Lubow. His conduct, and that of the men men under his command, is said to have been such, that his approach excited dread in town and village, so that before the annihilation of his corps the ma gistrates sent a deputation to Gen. Gielgud, to request him to deliver the country from such a curse. The Konigsberg Gazelle contains an article to pretty nearly the same effect. We leave it to the discretion of our readers to determine the degree of confidence to which Loth are en titled. In Warsaw, the latest news from General Gielgud, it is true, reached only to the 18th of June ; on which day, however, his operations seem to have been attended by the most complete success. Great and painful excitement was caused yester day among the Russian merchants in the City, on account of the intelligence from St. Petersburgh, dated the 13th ult. stating that the cholera morbus had made its appearance in that capital. Extract from a letter, dated Riga, 15th (27th) of June:—" If any of our friends appear anxious ; about their goods here, you may say that those; who have the best sources of information have given us to understand that there is no reason for indulging in any apprehension whatever, as the Emperor has lately issued another Manifesto to the Lithuanians, which is likely to have much more ! effect than any other means he could have adopted in bringing about, and it is the first st'p, we be lieve, towards a consummation most devoutly to be wished.' The state of the sickness, up to yes- i terday morning, was 3,693 cases, viz.-1,6441 deaths, 1,557 recoveries, and 481 still sick and in , progress of recovery, exclusive of those in military hospitals and convents." CRESSY.—The road from Nonv:on lies through part of the forest of Cressy ; the village of Creasy, which gives its name to the victory in 1346, and of which the English are so justly proud, is out of the route on the left. The portion of its forest through which the road passes will recall to the English traveller the remembrance of Edward 111. and the Black Prince. The allusion to the battle of Cressy, in the French hincraire, is ingenious :• " Les Champs de Crecy, celdbres par la bataille ou les Anglais se servirent pour la premiere fois de canons." They have omitted with what success, and who were the victors.—Route from London to . Paris. PANORAMA OF THE BRITISH ENIPIRE. COLCHESTEII GAZETTE, July 9. TOWN OF COLCUESTEI. Ilnn•es. Alales. Ferns.

James Andrews, the son of a fainter at Debden, had been arrested for 391. at the suit of a person ramed Edmund Clifford, of London, who bad given notice of opposition, but it was not convenient for him to appear. This case. upon examination, exhibited an organized system of raising the wind, by means not exactly honest. The insolvent stated, that about last September he saw an advertisement in a newspaper, offering to lend several sums of money. lie being anxious to get into business for him elf. applied to the person referred to in the advertisement, who proved to be Edmund Clifford, Esq. of 22, John-street, Adelpbi. Mr. Clifford received him my politely ; informed him he was a conveyancer, and agreed t,, lend him 3001. A short time after, * Cake, appeared at Debden, and pre vailed upon the insolvent to sign two blank papers, in which no sum was named to his knowledge at the time, but they afterwards proved to be bills, and had since been filled up, one for 301. and the other for 2001. At the time insolvent signed the papers, Clifford told hint he had got the money in his pocket which he proposed to advance, and that he would pay it into the bank. Insolvent went to the bank the next morning, but he did not find the cash there, nor had he ever receives] a halfpenny. Ile was arrested upon the 301. bill and thrown into prison. It was here stated, that three or four farmers had also been duped by bills of exchange to a very large amount in a similar manner ; and that a true bill for a fraud upon one of them bad been found against Clifford, at the last Assize for this county, but he could not then be found. The insolvent's solicitor said, that the bill for 2001. signed by insolvent, had found its way into the hands of a person in London, who had applied for payment. and whose name was entered in the schedule as a creditor to that amount.— , Cliffani's attorney, whose name appeared in the proceedings, resided at the time in the same house with his client, but was now in Whitecrossattreet prison. The said three farmers were now in Court, ready to he examined, if necessary, who had been duped out of 71101. in the same manner, and by the same parties. The Commissioner directed that no dividend upon the bill for 2001. should be paid, without the strictest inquiry as to how the person became possessed of it. The insolvent was ordered to be discharged. Most of our readers are perfectly well acquainted with the scandalous perversion of the funds of St. Magdalen's Hospi tal, a Charity instituted for the equal benefit of an incum bent and certain aged widows, which latter only receive one shilling per week, while the ample revenues arc pocketted by a Clergyman. We have authority for stating, that Mr. Senythies himself, during the inquiry which has been insti tuted into the abuses of this Charity, has acknowledged his income from the lands and tenements to be about 2501. per annum ; but in his account, tendered on oath, we find a house in Pelham-lane, in the occupation of a Mr. Bawer, stated by hint to pay only 11. a year rent, which would be cheap at 301. yearly. Mr. Sinythles has acknowledged the receipt of six thousand pounds in money. COLCHESTER 111ARERT. JULY I.—A very short supply of all kinds of grain—wheat from Is to 2s per quarter cheaper.

There is reason to fear that Great Tom's restoration will be found impracticable, except by re-casting. The drilling plan has been pursued with much ingenuity and perseverance by Poole and Bar row, under the directions of Mr. Bishop, and 28 stone weight of metal has been taken out ; hut though the fissure seemed to have been eradicated, the tone was not restored. There was an improvement certainly perceptible as corn. pared with the harsh shrieking sound emitted just before the bell was disused a few years ago, but that is all that can Le said for the operation. Titc fine mellow musical Tom was no more ; but in its stead, some hoarse ill-utnened gong, that seemed to " Set the city's teeth on edge, " Proclaim the universal world ajar, " At.d fright the isle from her propriety !" Within the last day or two the workmen have discovered a remarkable interior flaw in the bell communicating with the fissure, and probably the original cause of its having oc. curred. This flair or cavity has at present the appearance of going entirely round the bell, and Mr. Poole is engaged in tracing its extent it has of course existed ever since the ca.etir: in the time of James 1. and had it been then de tected must Lave caused the bell to have been condemned at once as a " waster," and the founder to have gone to work afresh.

Gisborne, Lord G. H. Caven dish, Lord Waterpark, and Mr. G. J. Vernon. These may be called the entries, but all may not start. Mr. It. Ark. weight is also named by uuthorlty. Two large hay stacks, containing nearly one hundred tons, standing at Hanging Bridge, near Ashboutn, the property of Thomas Hartshorn, Esq. were about eleven o'clock on Monday night discovered to be on fire. On an alarm being made, the inhabitants of Aahbourn and the neighbourhood, with the fire engines belonging to ithe town, were promptly on the spot, to render assistance, and although for several hours no hopes were entertained that any part would be saved, at six o'clock the following morning, by great and unwearied exertions, the fire was nearly subdued. We re gret to State there can be no doubt of this being the act of an incendiary. threatening words being previously written on the adjacent building, and a quantity of deal shavings having been discovered since the fire took place in a corner of an uninjured rick. On Saturday night week, between eleven and twelve o'clock, a fire was discovered in the stack-yard of Mr. Store, farmer and grocer, of Bassingham, a village in the county of Lincoln, and about eight miles from Newark. The inha. bitants were soon roused from their beds, when it was found that two very large straw stacks were on fire, and as there was no prospect of saving them, their attention was directed to the valuable haystacks which were near, and which they happily succeeded in saving, by applying wet rugs, blankets, &c. though not without some part of them being much scorched : there is not the least doubt of its being the work of an incendiary. The straw stacks, which contained about 30 loads each, a waggon loaded with thatch, and a quantity of loose straw and thatch, were totaily consumed. An at tempt had beer. made to fire the barn, which was full of wheat, as a sheaf was found neat the picking-hole partly consumed. It is supposed that the incendiary threw fire in at the hole, but the wheat being rather damp would not ig nite. About the same time, the Rod Barn, belonging to Mr. Sewell, in the same parish, and a neighbour of Mr. Store's, was discovered in flames by Sewell, as he was re turning from a christening, and was totally consumed.— There is no doubt of it being fired by the same hand. WIRKSWORTH JUSTICI ROOltfo-.On Wednesday, the 21st of June last, Samuel Walker and John Wakefield, of WWl:worth, retailers of beer, were convicted in .108. each and cmets, for selling beer on the Sunday, before and be. tween the hours of ten and one in the forenoon, contrary to the act of parliament. And Taylor, of Cromford, was fined Mt. and costs, for killing a rabbit on the lands of Richard Arkwright, Esq. at Cromford. Mr. Nlosedale, engineer, of this town, has constructed a machine for preparing brick clay under the direction of the invcntcr, Mr. Bakewell. These machines grind more uni formly, and temper more evenly than any in general use.— Mr. Bakewell's spring brick mould is also an ingenious in. vention. The mould opens on a hinge at one of its angles, and closes by a spring latch. By the use of this mould bricks tray be made of a stiffer clay, consequently will sink less in drying, and will be more solid and durable when burnt. Tire Pi r.carst OAK.—On Sherwood Forest, by the left hand side of the turnpike-road, leading from Nottingham to Mansfield. about one hundred yards north of the little poorhouse, universally known by the name of Robin Hood's Hut, being, it is said, the place where that distinguished outlaw often resorted, to levy his tax upon the passing tra veller, stands a majestic spreading oak. When the late Lord Byron's grandfather held the Newstead estate, he ordered all the trees on his domain that were saleable to be cut down ; this, however, was preserved from the fate of the others, by Mr. Duelsworth, a wealthy and highly respect able attorney of Mansfield, who had often, when on his read Ito Nottingham, admired its beauty; and hearing that his favourite was about to share the common fate, went himself Ito Newatrad and offered Lord Byron 501. to allow it to re main, which offer his Lordship readily accepted, and an agreement was speedily made, to the effect that neither Lord Byron, or any future proprietor of Newatead, should ever have the power to cut down this tree but when it dies, the ground on which it stands, or over shadows with its wide spreading branches, should again belong to the possessor of the Newatead estate. This agreement is regularly entered in the estate deeds, and we should think, ft is the only tree in existence ' which it would be unlawful to cut down. Mr. Dodsworth deserves to have his name recorded and ren dered illustrious, for a deed so noble. Until within these few years, this tree was partly surrounded by young trees, planted by the late Lord Byron, but CoL Wildman has cleared them away for a a considerable distance, and with excellent taste, has his principal entrance from the London road, opposite to it. The outer branches are about 200 feet in circumference, and the bole, about 4 feet from the ground, measures 13 feet in circumference ; the tree ap pears to be about 150 years of age; and looked when we saw it last spring, remarkably healthy. Colonel Wildman was then about erecting a seat round it, as an accommo dation and rest for the weary ttaveller.—From the Horti cultural Register. We give place to the following, rather for the sake of ha entiments than its versification. THE LITTLE MINER'S COMPLAINT. I wonder who there is like me, Beneath the spacious sun ? For I no merry moments see, No frolic and no fun. Ere moon and stars have ceas'd to shine, I'm roused from my bed, And deep descend this dreary mine, To gain a scanty bread. In midst of dangers, toils, and pains, Tug at my cheerless work ; Expos'd to damp and deadly flames, And used like a Turk. No healthy breeze, no flow'ry sweets, No prospects bright and fair: No clust'ring clouds, like sailing fleets— 'Tis only darkness here. I've heard of blacks beyond the sea— Some call them little slaves— Ah ! would they'd make a black of me, I'd cross the trackless waves. They sport about on sunny plains, Are cheerly, gay, and glad ; But I am doosu'd to drag these chains, — No wonder I am sad. The beasts that roam the forest wile, The birds that skim the sky, The ashes in the ocean's tide, Arc happier than I. Where herons wave their weary wing, Along some lonely shore, Where billows foam and fishes sin Oh, had I wings, I'd soar. Sweet butterfly, I'd fir with you, We'd rove the meadows round, And sip the sweets, and drink the dew Which gently kiss the ground. I'd freely change with any thing, If %were a lonely flower. And bloom as hap?y as a king In some sequest red bower. One pleasing thought still cheers me on, Like sunshine in a shower ; The Sabbath dawns—away I'm gone, T' improve the sacred hour. to learn whate'er I can, And on this hope I'll rat; And bear it till I grow a man, And then I'll judge what's best.

Medical aid was then called in, but it was found too late, as the disorder of the horse, which had been imparted by the bite, terminated his life the next day.

He saw the prisoner, wh 0 ,,,. be knew very well, follow Mr. Hipworth and lay hold of L;. coat pocket, but the crowd was so dense that he could n • perceive whether she had robbed him or not. She passed or. and caught hold of Mr. Henderson's coat in the same way. and in less than a minute after she made a simile acct,,,; upon the third gentleman, Mr. Ainsford, and in this instal„ witness distinctly saw her draw a handkerchief from his Pk het, and was in the act of putting it into her own, when h seized her, and found three handkerchiefs in her possessi, Witness had contrived to keep the two first gentlemen hail, and they found, upon examination, that their coat po,. kets had been cut, and their handkerchiefs taken out. Is pair of sharp scissors were found in her pocket. The prosecutors identified their respective handkerehh:. and exhibited their cut pockets, and declared that so tic.. terously was the thing done, that they were quite ignore of their loss until called to by the officer. Groom said he had had the prisoner in custody four tin.t• before, and she had but recently come out of Newgate. Lack, a very old officer of this establishment, said Le :4‘. the prisoner in his custody 30 years ago, for picking pukes, in conjunction with several men who composed the stre!!no! of that day, and whose practice it was to carry on their opc. rations accompanied Ly well-dressed women.

MARBOHOUGIT•STREET.—THE REVIEM.—Aa the 31i. gistrates were about to retire yesterday afternoon sever.:! pickpockets were brought in, charged with pursuing Ott professional " avocation" in Hyde Park during the bust; attendant on the review. The majority were sumo:32:; convicted, and the others were committed for trial. Martin Roche, a boy not more than 14 years of age. has been several times convicted as a reputed thief from 11,:- office, and who as late as May last, was tried at the We,. minster Sessions, was yesterday placed at the bar, bef.t- F. A. Roe, Esq. Two police constables deposed that they saw the accusze lift up the pockets of several of the spectators at the rale», and he ultimately extracted a handkerchief from a ge'n::e. man's pocket; but, owing to the bustle, the latter war 1r apprised of his loss, and therefore did not attend.

THAMMI POLICE—THE WATERMIN'AND THE STEAM. EkB.—Captain J. W. Head, master of the City of Lord,:. dory Dublin steamship, was charged with assaulting waterman named Marshall under somewhat novel circunt. stances. The complainant stated that on the arrival cf steamer on Sunday morning last he went alongside, wi two others, in his wherry, to get a fare. As he was abut: to step on board, Captain Head without any provocatic knocked him backwards into his boat. On demanding ihe cause of this ill usage the defendant again shoved him iris the boat, and when he got up kicked him most violently . In the face. He then took up the oar to defend himself, an: the Captain made several attempts to strike him but did re: succeed. He believed that the cause of Capt. H ead behaving so violently was in consequence of a drawer belonging to b writing-desk falling overboard. Several watennen confirmed Marshall's statement, and said he was ill used. Captair. Head stated that on the arrival of the vessel she was boarded by a great number of waterman , and among them the com plainant. They all behaved in a most outrageous manna, and took possession of the gangway. As the passengers cam. from the cabins they were seized by Marshall and other water. men, and the laet.s were pulled about, and actually had then clothes torn from their backs. Under these circumstances he considered himself justified in using violence to protect the persons and property of those on board, and would not dere that he bad committed the assault. He could assure th e Bench that an extensive system of plunder was carried ir by the watermen. The proprietors of the steam-ship ha.' sustained incalculable loss by the continued robberies which took place on the anival of the vessel in the river. lt Sunday last three trunks, containing considerable property, had been stolen from the Londonderry steamer. The crux of the assault arose from a writing-desk, which contain:. : upwards of one thousand pounds in cash, besides other ta. luables, having been capsized, and the drawer of the dol. had nearly sunk, when It was saved. Mr. BALLANTINE thought the Captain had acted sith great forbearance. He should discharge the warrant with costs against Alarshall. At the tame time he would take that opportunity of stating, that according to the river regulation only two watermen are allowed to go alongside a member IS one time ; and if any further outrages took place the petite should be severely punished, and the Captain could, if oc• casion required, send to that office for assiatance. Yesterday, Michael llcnnessy, in the employ of Mr. Maudslay, the engineer, was convicted in the penalty of tip , pounds, or two months' imprisonment, for a s avage assatat upon his wife, while in a state of pregnancy.
