THE NATIONAL UNION. Tim PoLEL—At Meetii- of the National l'ilion, held last night nt the Rotunda, Julian Ilihhert. Esq. in the Chair, the following resolU lions were iinaniinir!gly passed, on the subject of, tie late events in Poland. There were above 1000 ineinhers present : Resolved, That this Meeting view with the bitterest indignation the coyote which have lately been permitted by civilized Europe to take place at Warsae, in which a brave and heroic people. contending for their civil tights and na tional indliendence. have been atrociously slaughtered by hordes of barbarians brought from Tartary and Siberia, as she most convenient tools of an odious and overwhelming despotistn. -"that in proclaiming our unsmiling grief at the tragical result, we consider it our duty to express our admiration of ae personal sacrifices and unparalleled self-devotion dies trsti by the Polio in the whole of this memorable etrwgle, we cortslee- tie Polish nation at the moment In which its o xistence is the most in danger, as being more entitled to the admiration of mankind than, in the most brilliant periods of i.s past history; the defence of Warsaw, an open town, with /-...stily raised works, manned by Inadequate numbers, with ut ammunition, bring rendered abortive only by mass,s of brute force, successively brought to slaughter in a state of intoxication, under imperial orders, that the place see to be carried in spite of military warnings—cost what ever it might. _ . That this meeting blushes for the name of Englishmen that the power and political ascendancy of this country should Lire been withheld in arresting so frightful a career of des potism, injustice, and blood ; that we consider ourselves compromised as a nation professing itself free, in having en tertained a delusive confidence in the men now in power, who make such ostentatious prcfessions of respect for justice aril liberty, which in this case they have so palpably and hypocritically betrayed ; and we, therefore, consider that it is the duty of every member of both houses of parliament to demand and insist on such explorations as may tend to res cue the character of the existing generation of Englishmen front the indignation of posterity when this Polish tragedy bt roma the subject of history. upon earth, is to be certain beforehand of being supported and applauded and success wished for ? No, the French Ca binet will not coniribute hs share to give birth to and to propagate such a despairing belief, a belief which would sap all the foundations of morality, and destroy the civil and political tics of society. No, the French Cabinet, which owes (very thing to the thunder that strikes at the violators of principles, will not hesitate, in acting, to maintain these principles ; it will assume the noble initiative in a manner calculated to make them triumph ; it will in terpose with vigour and dignity ; it will induce other friendly Cabinets to adopt the same course ; it will impose k upon malevolent Powers; it will compel Russia to bring to general peace and tranquillity that sacrifice which justice and clear righ►imperiously exacts from it; and it will col lect, as the price of these generous measures, the right of being enabled to say, I have caused the re-entrance of a brave nation into the European family—l have satisfied French honour—and I have consolidated for France and foe the world the reign of order and of liberty. " Su noble and elevated an object is certainly not beneath the attention nor is it beyond the means of the French ca. binet. Thus the undersigned still reserve the hope that Isis Excellency the Minister cf Foreign Affairs will make known to them his decision on the subject of the moots which by order of their Government they bad the honour so address to him in their official papers of the 3d and 4th inst. Seeing the urgency of the moment, and the cry of distress which comes from the banks of the Vistula, they reckon on a powerful and effectual answer. Should the French Cabi net, nevertheless, not deem it proper to give to the under signed the answer so much desired, they will be eager to present themselves at the Hotel of the Ministry, to receive the verbal overtures which his Excellency Count Sebastiani may wish to make to them. The nature of the COMMUDi. cations which they may receive will direct their future con. duct, conformably to the orders of their Government. " Paris, Sept. 15." T it however mach this was the cause of England, it was iv a tem-fold degree that cf the French Government, whose establishment was as much in opposition to the prin ciples of the Holy Alliance, and as much endangered by it, as the Revolution in Poland ; and, therefore, the cause of Poland and the cause of France were identical, independent of the generous aid lent by Poland in the most critical periods of the French revolution, and the pledges of support given by influential French Patriots previously to the commencement of the Revolution at Warsaw. We, therefore, highly ap plaud the manifestations of public indignation which have appeared in Paris, and hope they will not subside until jus tice on this subject is done to the French name. " That in spite of the Jesuitical mediations of hollow friends, by which the energies of the Poles were latterly pa ralysed and divided, anti in spite of adverse appearances, we hope that every true Pole, in every division of that once great country, will persevere in the course so nobly marked out by those who have already fallen victims, and will never lay down their swords till they have effected the extermina tion of their savage invaders, and secured the liberties and independence of their country. ~ KNAZIEWICZ, 46 L PLATER." PANORAMA OF THE BRITISH EMPIRE. NORTHAMPTON PREIS PRESS. The Notqhatnplon Free Press, taking advantage of the hint we gave them, have succeeded, we see, in opening the Northampton Town Hall to the public. There will, hence. forth, be no more private judicial investigations there. Mr. Cooke wrote to the Mayor in behalf of several gentlemen in the town, insisting on their right to attend Petty Sessions, and giving notice that they intended to try the question le gally, with which view they would attend to demand admix. sion on the following Monday. The Mayor replied, that be had not, and never had a wish to exclude any person ! A good joke this, after what has transpired.—BucksGaserfe. REFORM Bit-L.—The gentlemen appointed by Govern. ment as commissioners, to obtain the information necessary to enable Parliament to fix the boundaries of the towns to which the elective franchise is to be extended, or those in which any other alterations are to be made in the constitu. ency, under the Reform Bill, visited Huntingdon last week, for the purpose of making the inquiries set forth in their in. structions.

M A ItLllO ROD G H.STREBT. Di:wrist:v.—Yesterday, a regular Jack Tar, named Wm. Bartlett, residing in Kensington, charged two market gar. deners with selling bim a piece of dressed cotton for Irish and thereby defrauding him of 21. It appeared, that the prosecutor, while passing through Coventry-street, was met by two duffers, who prevailed upon him to enter a public-house adjoining, and look at " some beautiful Irish which they had to sell " a bargain."— After some bartering, it was agreed to let Bartlett have the piece for two sovereigns, and Jack proceeded home with his bargain. He then, however, found that the linen was cotton, and he instantly proceeded to look after the men who had duped him. The prisoners were met with and given in custody, and the sailor swore positively to their identity. They, in vain, declared they were innocent, and were conveyed to this Office, where several respectable individuals swore that at the time the prosecutor stated he was in their company, they were at Hammersmith following their vocation as market gardeners. This fact was so fully established to the satisfaction of the Magistrate, that the prisoners were honourably discharged, great regret being ex• pressed at the unintentional mistake. A man, named Untoin, as we understood, was charged by a policeman of the name of Colley, C division, with illegally disposing of " Bcrthold's Political Handkerchief," and " The Poor Man's Guardian," for which offence he was sen teneed to three months' imprisonment.

MEETING Or SILL Weave/is...On Monday a meeting of the 'ilk heaven, in the neighbourhood of Alklilleton, assembled, to the number of 500 or GOO, in the market place, Middleton, to deliberate on the comae to be pursued relative to an attempted reduction, by several small maim amerces, of one halfpenny per yard in the price of weavirg unmet. It was finally resolved to oppose the reduction, and a communication of their intention was made to the Failsworth weavers, who expressed their determination to abide by it also. Tr, NR-011,1? or °INGRAM WEAVERS.-4i very serious breach of the peace took place on Monday last, by a party of journeymen gingham weavers, owing, in a great measure, to a misconception between them and Mr. William flail, a considerable manufacturer, in New High-street. GREAT MELTING AT LIVERPOOL.Thii town as sembled at twelve o'clock, on Monday, in Clayton-square, to petition the House of Peers in favour of the Reform Bill. At the appoin ed hour, between five and six thousand per sona filled the square, and in a few minutes the gentlemen of the Committee appeared In the balcony of the Bull Inn. Among them were most of those who are wont to take an active part in public proceecii• gs ; but it was 'remarked that they were on this occasion supported by many of our mote wealthy and influential merchants. wbo are not accustomed to attend public assemblies. Among them were several whose sentiments were known to be, until this moment, adverse to Reform, but their pre. sence testified that they had yielded to a sense of duty and a conviction of right at a most opportune moment. They were hailed with much good-natured applause, and the en thusiasm of the people, during the entire proceedings, was such as to convince Sir Charles Wetherell himselt, bad he been present, that the popular opinion has undergone no change on the Reform Bill. On the motion of 51r. Earl, Sir Joseph Birch, one of the newly-elected baronets, was called to the chair. Though long a member of parliament, it was the first time that he appeared on a public occasion, in his native town; but the moment was one when every man who valued the public tranquillity was bound to unite with others in conveying to the House of Lords the sentiments of the country on the great measure about to be sent up to their Lordships. Mr. Wallace Currie was the next speaker. He was followed by Mr. James Brander, the bro. ther of our Mayor, who with great energy said, " the fac tion had hearts of steel, and faces of brass." Mr. Henry Booth moved the second resolution, and Mr. Rathbone the third. 111 r. Rushton was the next speaker ; he was followed by Col. Williams, Mr. Thomas Bolton, Mr. Aikin, Mr. Cropper, slr. Robertson Gladstone, and Mr. Joseph Ewart, all eminent merchants, and Lord Molyneux and others. The tone of the different speakers was singularly firm ; and it was remarked, that the more decidedly they spoke res pecting the possibility of the Bill being rejected by the Upper House, the more vehemently they were applauded.— Though they all agreed that the Bill was not likely to be 'ejected, they were also unanimous in opinion hat olet refusal of the Lords to pass it would he followed by the most alarming remits. A political and commercial crisis would be the consequence ; and one speaker hinted at the possibility of embarrassing their enemies by a refusal to pay taxes until the Bill, approved of by the people, the House of Commons, and the King, had passed into a law. The meeting lasted for three hours, and on separating gave three hearty cheers for the King. The petition has already re ceived several thousand signatures ;the people hassle to sign it ; and In the Exchange Newsroom the stratus of merchants in half an bout. covered several sheets.

LIVEEPOOL COTTON MARKET.—The business in cot ton last week has been very extensive, with a very steady market for all kinds, particularly for the better qualities of Bowed, Orleans and Mobiles, which are rather dearer.— 2,000 bales of American have been taken on speculation, I and 650 for export; for the latter account there is a good des but little at present in bond. EXTRAORDINARY CHARGE OF BURGLARY.—George Neith, a harnese-maker, was charged under these circum stances : A young man, the son of Mr. Hill, of Nelson place, Walworth, said he did not get home till two o'clock that morning. The street door opened with a latch, and on trying it he found he could not get in. He Raw a man through the key-hole, whom he threatened if he did not open the door. The prisoner then opened the door, and gave a lighttd match and a tinder-box to him. He never saw him b:fcre and the inmates of the house being awakened, it was discovered that a waistcoat and pair of breeches had been taken out of Mr. Hill's bed-room while he and his wife were asleep; the tinder-box had also been' taken away—The prisoner, in his defence, said he had been drinking at a place in the Old Kent-road till 12 o'clock; he then met with a female, who took him to Mr. Hill's house, and said she lived there. She kept him in the passage, aril said she could not take him into one of the rooms for fear of discovery by her friends. They remained together for some time, and be fell asleep. When be evoke he found his companion was gone. After scrambling about in the dark, he found the tinder. box, with which he struck a light. Ile picked up a waist coat, which he gave to Mr. Hill's son, on his opening the door, as &scribed. He declared his innocence of any felo nious intention. lie. Cnanneas considered that such a tale was probable, and discharged the prisoner. SENTENCES AT THE OLD BAILEY.

POLICE REPORTS. GUILDHALL. Yesterday the acting-overseer of St. Giles's In the Fields attended with a lad, for the purpose of having him appren ticed to an inhabitant of St. Sepulchre's. The following dialogue ensued between the boy and the Magistrate : Alderman Atkins : How old are you? Buy, Fifteen, sir. Alderman : Can you write ? Boy :No air. Alderman : Can you read ? Boy :No sir. Alderman : Can you say your Catechism? Boy : No, air. Alderman : Can you say your prayers ? Boy : No, sir. Alderman : Do you ever go to Church ? Boy • No, sir. Alderman : How long bare you been in the Workhouse? Boy • Ten years, sir. Mr. Ald. Amiss said that this was a most discre ditable case to the overseers of St. Giles's, for it was their duty to see that the poor children were instructed in their duty to GOD and man. He should not assent to the bind ing.—The assistant-overseer said that the neglect ear that of the master of the poor-house, and he begged to state that there was a chapel in the workhouse, which might account for the boy's answering that he did not go to church. The party to whom the boy was to be bound offered to stipulate that be would cause him to be taught reading and writing, but, as sufficient notice had not been served on St. Se pulchre's, the Alderman still refused to aign the indentures. HATTON GARDEN. SPOIIIIII4I EXTRAON.DIWAIN.We understand Mr. 11110- ton and Air. Charles Wynne are backed to shoot 900 couple of snipes in two days, in the Isle of Man. They both left Long's Hotel on Sunday for that purpose. A by-bet of great importance is Roces err Tilt= SITE...Zit:IIa of a letter from the Agent at Lloyd's at the Isle of Skye:—" The Juventus, 'Kinlay, from Sligo to London, struck on a sunken rock off Castlemon, on Friday, the 9th of Septem. her, and received considerable damage. The rocks off Cas. demo% on which so many vessels have been wrecked of late, are not laid down on the common charts of this coast, and on few charts correctly. Some of them are but very partially seen at low water, and the depth of water quite dose to them varies from eight to twelve fathoms, or more." THE SOLITARY MAarsza.—A bottle has been picked up on the coast of Jetland. containing a letter, in Danish, to the following effect:—" Lost, the whole of the crew, carried off by the cholera, except myself, Nicholas Pedason, second midshipman of the ship Henrietta Doro thea, of Bergen (Norway), the 7th of August, 1831." MARCH OF INTELLECT.— A person reading a quotation from the London Literary Gazette, respecting the consumption of oil, found the usual abbreviation, Lon. don Lit. Gas. Upon asking the meaning of a neighbour, he replied it means that London is lit with gas. CLINATOLOGY.—HumboIdt observes. in his ac count of some recent investigations into the climate of Asia, that at Astrakhan be had seen some grapes, fully as large and well ripened, as had they been growing in Italy or the Canaries, though in the same quarter, indeed somewhat more to the south, namely, at Hitler, which is in the same latitude as Avignon, It is no uncommon occurrence to find the centrigrade thermometer fall to 28 degrees and 30 de grees below zero. At wsk, at the very height of simmer, he inspected aw e dug in a turfy soil, where it derived but little shelter from trees, and found, at a depth of six feet only, a layer of congealed earth nine feet and a half in thickness, which was intersected with small threads of ice, and contained groups of crystal of solid water, like a porphyroid rock. At Jakoutsk, where the thermomoter stands as high as 62 degrees, subterraneous lee is a common and constant phenomenon in defivee of the elevated tem perature of the atmosphere in July and August. In the teeth of these facts, tropical animals and tigers, precisely si. milar to the natives of India, even to their enormous us , are found in Siberia at this very day. The British and Foreign School Society is si tuated in the Borough-road, leading from the Obelisk by the Surrey theatre to the Stones•-end in the Borough. It is a latge substantial building, consisting of a dwelling-louse for the master and mistress, committee sad board rooms, and spacious schools in the wings for the children ; erected farm the designs of Samuel Robinson, Esq. This society is founded on the principles of Joseph Lancaster, and is open to all religions, while the National Society is on those of Dr. Bell, and exclusively devoted to the established church of Ilogrand. Lancaster opened his school in 1799, and this society was established in 1808, and remodelled in 1813. Mr. Highmore in his two works on public cha rities, namely, the ' Pietas Londinensis and Philantropia Metropolitana,' has given most copious and interesting sc. counts of this society and its operation in different parts of the globe. The titles of the society at the time of the be. forenamed alteration of its regulations was, " The Institu tion for promoting the British system for the Education of the Labouring and Manufacturing ( lasses of Society of every Religious Persuasion ;" and it furnishes instruction to all persons, natives or foreigners, who may beast from time to time to the school, and for the purpose of being qualified as teachers in this or any other country.

Dittiosteny of London. Mary English was brought befste Mr. Laing under the following circumstances. Thomas Shaw, pollee constable. found the prisoner on Islington Green, crying most pite ously. He removed her to the station house, where, be coming more composed. she stated that she knew she was beyond the reach of Gon's mercy. The Magistrate desired the policeman to take her to Islington workhouse until her friends were made acquainted with her design upon her life. QUERN-SQUARE. ATTEMPTED SUlClDEYealefdaj, a young woman, enceinte, about twenty-five years of age, but who refused to give her name or direction where she lived, was brought before Messrs. Marriott and White, on a charge of attempt ing to destroy herself, under the following melancholy eir. cumstances :—The unfortunate female, who possessed a very prepossessing countenance, was met with, on Thursday last, about half-past three in the morning, opposite the barracks in Hyde-park, leading into Knightsbri4e, by John Sul. liven, policeman of T. Division, 139. She appeared to be suffering from intense anguish of mind, and labouring under the tortures of deep affliction. He asked her what brought her there? She made no reply, but gave way to her tears, and at the same time wok a phial from her armpit ; which she had no sooner done, than she drank the contents before it could be taken from her. She asked for water, but witness said he had none to give her. Upon which she said that her life was in danger, as she had taken laudanum. Witness immediately took her to St. George's Hospital, where the stomach-pump was used, and the con tents were extracted. But after the operation, she stated that she would do it again. From that time she gradually recovered, and is now in a convalescent state. Upon being asked for her defence, she replied that she wanted her li berty. The magistrate (Mr. Marriott), In a very solemn manner, entle.ivoured to impress upon her the enormity of the offence she was about to commit, observing that she ought to be thankful that, by the interposition of Providence she had met with those who had preserved her life. She was committed, with a special order from the magistrate to the governor of Tothill.fields prison. The unhappy woman refuses to give any account of betel', and, preserving a sullen silence, will not enter into conversation with any one. She has on a black silk bonnet, • white silk shawl, and a striped gingham gown, and is about five feet two inches in height.

READING BE-BOTH ERED.- A good biygislf boy was asked by his lather—a plain honest grocer of the al,' school, how reading was taught at the 'cademy ? " Olt," said young Fig, looking up rather boldly," we writedown a ll t h e words first, next get them all off by heart, and then read away altogether, like mad." " Mighty well said," cried old Fig, chuckling the youngster under the chin, "Now, Joe, )0j may go, and hark ye, just keep out of mischief." Then ad. dressing the oldest Miss Fig, who was sitting like puke i n the corner, " I think Tabby, my dear, we may trust Jit alone, for 1 promise you he won't set the Thames upon fire ; for, eh Gad (continued Fig, chuckling) if he does, I'll tp,t it out." CAUSZ Of PUBLIC DzscosTENT.—We woulsi not give sixpence for the brains of any man who can hest. tate a moment about the cause of the riots, rick-burning, and other sullen savageries, that from time to time diafiguse the character of country life in England. The whole and sole cause is the same one which would make a lord of the privy council mutinous, or a groom of the bed-ehambc: question the propriety of the civil list within ear-shot of his sovereign : it is hunger. There is no instance on record within these hundred years, where, when the common people were sufficiently employed, they exhibited any discontent whatever. Give the English labourer employment enough to clothe and feed him decently, and he will no more rebel. nor read incendiary nonsense, nor set fire to his master's barna, than the honest bullock that he drives a-field. And this is not the result of his silliness, but of his good sense; and if tboee who have the lives and labours of the peasantry in their bands, and who live from hour to hour upon the in . dustry of those poor men, were to take but half the care o them that they do of their ox and their ass, we should hes r no more of peasant-tumult in England than we hear of it in the Georgium Mos.—Whittaker'. .4fonthly Magazine.
