Hi BALD.—The conduct of Austria to the brave Dwer nicki and his corps is now proved to be, by all concurrent accounts, what we originally stated it was, • gross, and fi,g tiOUS violation of the principle of neutrality and a shameless infringement of international law. It appears that the General and his officers are to be sent to Lay. bah, and the privates to Transylvania; all the Rus sian arms are to be delivered up to General Rudiger, and those which are recognised as the property of the Polish tiovemment, are to be considered as property In trusted to the Government of Austria. The event which enabled Austria thus practically to evince its atriums against Poland, will have little influence on the destinies of that heroic country, for the loss of Dwernicki and his warriors, is already repaired by the successful issue of the expedition of General Chrsanowski to &mom, but it involves a prece dent that may be hereafter of the moat mischievous conse quences, as being subversive of the rational and equitable principles which, under similar circumstances, have hitherto governed civilized nations. Tl3lES.—lnatallafion the Sing of the French.— The ceremony of installation, which took place on the M on . thy following, was very din:rent from the coronation of the Kings of the old dynasty, and bas been made the subject of were criticim by the ultra-Royalists for its august simpli city. It is this ceremony which will be recalled to the minds of the Parisians, by the day fixed for opening the Chambers, this second year of the King's reign. Rvsrything seems to indicate, that as the peers were overlooked in the for mation of the charter, and election of a king last year, so this t i lt) . will be stripped of their hereditary honours. T hey were themselves obliged to swear the charter, one of the supple mentary articles of which says, that the question of their he reditary privileges was to be af t erward s t a k en i nto considers. nun, and by the pledges required from the candidates this question will be forced on the new Chamber. M. Casimir Perrier, M. theism, and other deputies, have declined to give such a pledge ; but they may be at last compelled to comply will the wishes of their present masters—the elec tors. The King will probably be obliged to take a tour in the east and south, as he has done in the west, to gain a little mute popularity for his ministers before the commencement or the elections. POST.—The Parliamentary Returns for the whole of the United Kingdom are now complete. and we see no reason to regret the general result of the elections. Wherever atrocious violence and murderous outrage have not prevailed, to the prevention of the due exercise of the elective franchise, the good cause of the Constitution has been proudly niumpbant ; and we are well assured that numerous re turns, effected under the influence of the reign of terror, trill be set aside by the decision of Parliament. Be sides we have most satisfactorily ascertained that a great portion of the uew members are anti-reformists; and we et therefore warranted in congratulating our readers (which se do most cordially) on the cheering prospect of the Constitution being stilt preserved in all its best parts, and the country guarded against the manifold horrors of re volution—inevitably consequent upon the adoption of the atrocious project of ministers ! ! TIM ES.—We, of course, should feel great repugnance to limiting the power of the Press any where : it is the or gan of instruction—the propagator of knowledge—the tenor of despotism. In India, we think it may be tolerated with out danger, and must produce advantages; for the East In dies are not colonies. The English who are there are people of education, and capable of hearing questions of the ;utmost delicacy discussed with frankness, and of deciding on them justly; whilst the natives, as a body, sre ignorant of the discussion. In the West Indies, the cir curnstances are different: there& mixed population exists, in every stage from extreme barbarism to respectable cultiva tion, but all understanding, more or less, the English lan guage. Such a mass is easily excited—it cannot reason, but cay be put in nomination by the cunning weaving together of words. There, perhaps, a press totally free from restraint may be dangerous ; for cettainly it is much easier to inspire men with a passion for liberty than to qualify them for the utional enjoyment of it. COBBETT'S REGISTER.--I found, at Barn-Elm, a dove.house with about jffly-paie of pigeons. I let them L a their own living: in the three years they did not give us jijty young ones, and their population f e ll off, at last, to about fifteen pair. I had a little pigeon-house at Ken sington, set nut with four pair, that soon began to take enough young ones for a pigeon-pie ones a week and yet, in about two years, they Increased to such numbers, that I was compelled to slaughter the whole by shooting, and to begin again. But there they were fed three fines a day abundantly, and whenever they went from home' it was for diversion and not to seek food- Here was" surplus population ;" and here was the cause. These lazy devils at Kensington got all the food and none date work ; and there fore l• was compelled to " check their population." and finally to destroy them. It is exactly the same with human beings, who, if they labour, never CAN breed too fast, because they create food and clothing and other necessaries in proportion to their numbers, and because the subsistence must precede the population. But if therein a government to step in, and wrest the subsistence from those by whose labour it is created, and hand it over to others who, like my farm-stock, create nothing, then the poor souls' that do the work must suffer from want- This is the situation of England at this moment ; and here is the real fuundation and motive of all that we hear about " surplus population." Those who labour, those sho create all the food and all the raiment, seem. at Imes resolved not to live any longer in a state of half starva tion ; and, therefore, those who live In idleness on the fruit of their labour, are using all sorts of endeavours to make us believe that the working people an too numer ous, and these devourers are worrying the Government to death to adopt some scheme for thinning their numbers, not caring a straw about what the country must thereby lose In point of resources and strength. These idlers are, in one respect, not like my farm-swell; for they petit nothing its return for what they devour. They are like the nags a nd t h e pleasure fillies,—who, fin& leg the clover run short, petitioned the master to sill off, or kill, some of the cart-hones, of whom they al. leged that the population was "surplus." " Oh, no I" said the master, " if there be not enough for all, I must get rid of some of you ; for you create nothing, and, without the cart horses, we shall all be starved together." There may, indeed, be a real " surplus population" of idlers; and this is the case in England now ; • real surplus of nap and fillies; these are crying out for a diminution of the number of the cart-hones; and, contrariwise to the farmer, our Government is listening to the clamour of these luxurious idlers, and seems to be as busy as bees in contriving schemes for checking the breed ing and getting rid of those who do all the work and caste all the resources of the country, while, at the same time, that same Government does not one single thing to check the breeding, or to get rid of those who live in idle ness out of the fruit of the working people's labour, and obo are mere consumers and wagers of the nation's re- We have just - heard from the City, that last night the LORD MA TOR received an Official Com munication, announcing that his MAJESTY was pleased to create him a Baronet. MON UM ENT TO Fl IS M A JEST Y.—The delegates of the Trades and Benefit Institutions of the Me tropolis have taken up with much spirit the pro ject of erecting a national monument to our patriotic Alonarch. We rejoice to see this intention so promptly undertaken, and doubt not that sufficient funds will be raised to meet the expense of the pro posed Triumphal Arch. The fortune of Gen. Sebastiani (so illiberally re minded every moment of his having been the son of a Corsican cooper) is estimated at 2,000,0001. Sterling.— French Paper. LA FA Y ETTE's SOlRFE9.—During the season which has just closed at Paris Gen. Lafayette gave weekly Soirees; these have concluded, and the pa triot of three revolutions has retired to the shades of La Grange, his estate, a short distance from Paris. Tl.e receptions at his soirees were conductedwith true simplicity. He occupied four apartments on the first Iloor in the Hue u'Anjou, one of which was nearly 114t1 with a bed. Here might be seen, crowded fur room, O'Dillon 13arrot, Mauguin, General La niarque, and many eminent persons, destined, pro- Libly, to play important rarts in the affairs of their cctutry. The ladies were seated round the apart mcmts ; they were chiefly women of talent, who had distingi.ished themselves as votaries of the Ilt:sys, and for devotion to literature; among the cumber was Mrs. Opie, conspicuous by the neat trimmers of her drab-coloured silks. COURT CIRCULAR. Their Royal Highnesses the Duchess of Kent and the Princess Victoria, attended by the Duchess of Northumberland, Lady Catherine Jenkinson, Lady Conroy, Baroness Lehzen, and Sir John Conroy, honoured with their presence Mr. J.

He performed for the first time last night before an audience, which, though crowded, was not, to use the technical term, that overflow which it will be on all the fu ture occasions of his appearance. The chief, or rather the sole, interest of the concert centered in Paganini himself; the artists engaged, and the music selected, with the excels. don of his compositions and performance, comprising no novelty, nor any thing beyond the attraction of an ordinary concert. Paganini executed three pieces. The first was a concerto of three movements, described in his own pro gramme—an Allegro Maestoso, an Adagio Appassionato, and a Rondo brillanle. The second piece was a 'Sonata ad- Moire, performed wholly on the first string. These two pieces had the accompaniment of the orchestra. The third piece was a solo, an air with variations on the theme of " Non piu Andrei," from Mozart's Figaro. The enthusiasm which his performances excited last night among the audience, certainly surpassed any thing of the kind within these walls. Every lover de force and striking passage was not only applauded but cheered by the whole audience, and some of the variations were encored. At the end of every performance, and especially after the last, she applause, cheers, and wavirg of handkerchiefs and hats, altogether presented a most extraordinary scene. The group ing on the stage when Paganini played his concluding piece was extremely striking. All the veterans of the °echelon, Spagnoletd, Dragonetti, Lindley, and others. had placed themselves so as to watch his performance to the best advan tage, and they marked strongly by their countenances the lively impression it made upon them. They were not the least fervent in their applause of what they of course were the best able to form a judgment. -The pit and gallery were crowded at an early hour. The boxes were not well filled. Nothing can be more difficult than to describe Paganini's performance on the violin, so as so make the effect of it in. telligible to those who have never heard him. Hence, and it is but justice to say so much of this extraordinary man, all the anticipations formed of him, however highly coloured, have fallen short of the reality. He is not only the finest player perhaps that has ever existed on that instrument, — but he forms a class by himself, and produces effects which he has been the first to discover, and in which exceeding few, if any imitators, will be able to follow him. The difficulty and complexity of the passages,— played by. Paganini are truly wonderful. and the ease with which he conquers them is perfect. They do not, however, form that which is most to be admired in him. His genius is displayed in a far greaser degree in his stow movements, in which he develops, as it may without exaggeration be said, every shade and gradation of feeling. His violin in such passages seems to be a part of himself, and to become that medium in which he can best portray the workings of his mind. If the instrument could be said to speak and to feel, it does so in his hands. The delicacy and truth of his in tonation are in all cases conspicuous. The note attenuated almost to a thread, is still heard as distinctly as when he draws forth the whole power of ihe instrument. We are sorry to observe the petty warfare that is carried on between the licensed publicans and the licensed beer shops. This, in truth, gives rise to so many informations and so much magis terial business. Of this the magistrates and the readers of newspapers ought to be aware. Then the canters are abroad—and the hypocrites also; both of whom are so horror-struck at the cheap enjoyments of the industrious classes. They, the pious souls, never enjoy themselves—they never drink Thar bottle, they, like the monks of La Trappe, pass a life of perpetual morttfication. In spite, however, of such knaves we consider the beer shops, and we might add the coffee shops, as valuable institutions, simply because they add, at a cheap rate, to the comforts of thousands who have so few. CASTLE-POLLARD.—The scene of the late dis mal Tragedy is a small town iu the county of Westmeath, and about sixty-four miles from Dub lin. A similar case of partisan massacre took place at Barrow, in Leicestershire, in 1795. A party of yeomanry, in the frenzied days of Pitt politics, slaughtered five or six simple inhabitants, and wounded several others ; proving the extreme danger of trusting fire arms at any time in the hands of luw and ig norant authority. • LORD LIEUTENANTS OF COUIVTIEN. Having alluded to the adverse interests working against the voice of the people, and the liberal spi rit of the age, in the local districts of the kingdom, we give beneath a list of the present Lord Lieute nants, three out of four of whom art evidently high tories in principles, and anti-reformers in practice. We see them heading anti-reform de clarations, though they enjoy the nomination of deputy lieutenants, magistrates, clerks of the peace, militia officers, and the like ; and hence most of the incongruities and anomalies which exist between the liberal theories of the cabinet, and the actual government as felt by the people at large. Some of them bring the Church into discredit by appointing clerical magistrates, who often confer a character on the law which drives congregations to dissenting chapels : while Oxford, Cambridge, and the late elections have fully illustrated the in judicious spirit of too many of these gentlemen. Only last week we beheld with concern,tbe names of Warwick and Talbot at the head of anti-reform declarations inWarwickshire and Staffordshire ; and even that of Lord Howe, her Majesty's urbane Chamberlain, figures at the top of the Warwick shire declaration ! Such things create surprise through the country. while, we should think, the people have now made the government strong enough, to do itself and them justice. C0171T1211 Grantham, Lord . - .

The following is the authorised statement of what took place between the Bishop of London and Dr. Rice :—The Bishop of London having had his at tention directed to the report of a publiz meeting in the parish of St. Luke, in which Dr. Rice, the cu rate, told the persons present th t '• their political Messiah was come," sent for Dr. Rice, and stated to him, tkat as he had no right :o interfere with the political opinions of any of .his clergy, so he had no desire to prevent the expression of those opinions in any manner consistent with the clerical character; but that he felt himself bound to cen sure an application of the most sacred terms, which was little short of profane. Dr. Rice admitted, having used the expression above quoted, or some thing equivalent to it, and said that he did not see any harm in it. The Bishop thea said, he appre hended it would impair the good opinion enter tained of Dr. like by the more religious of his pa rishioners, and asked him whether, if had heard any person so employ the equivalent term of Christ, and designate any human being as a " political Christ," he would not have been shocked f Dr. Rice acknowledged that he would, and said that he had not seen it in that light, and that allowance must be made for words used in the warmth of speaking. The Bishop said, " Certainly ; but that clergymen would do well not to run the risk of s ying such things; and that in times of popu lar excitement, whatever side they might espouse, it was better for them, with a view of maintaining their spiritual influence unimpaired, to avoid taking part in public discussions." After some conversa tion, no part of which had any reference to the ' Reform Bill, the Bishop added, that he had men tioned the matter thus privately to Dr. Rice not intending to take any further notice of h.—Morn ing Paper. IRELAND. SPECIAL CO M3l ISSION. Ltnxittcx, 111• T 30. Michael Storin and Michael Devitt were arraigned on a capital indictment for feloniously and unlawfully, with font of arms, threatening one Martin Kelly, to sit, with the words, " 11l break your head and split your skull," in order to induce said Kelly to enter into unlawful combination with them. The second count charged the prisoners with using the words to compel Kelly to combine with them to injure the lands of Ross. They were also indicted for a riot and unlawful assembly. The ATTOnIIZT.OZWERAL stated the ease for the Crown. He said, the present ease had been selected by him as the first to submit to a Jury, it being of urgent and para mount necessity that the offence with which the prisoners stood charged should be checked by example. The Special Commission might be properly called an appeal to the noun. try by the Government to support them in maintaining the laws of the land, and he would express his confident opinion, that so long as the tribune he had the honour to address was assisted in its labours by the country, no man could despair of seeing peace and tranquillity restored. He was happy to say that the general calendar did not exceed, in point of enormity, the usual detail of crime, but he regretted to find there was in the calendar a species of crime unusual in its nature, mis chievous in its character, and fonniff9lltln its consequences. It appeared that in many parts of this county, instead of being detened by the miserable state of the county of Clare, large bodies of men had assembled in the open day to turn up the lands of various proprietors, and for the purpose of committing other mischievous excesses. ' It' this state of things was permitted to continue, there would be an end to all law, and a total destruction of all those principles which bind the various classes of society together. He was happy, how. ever, to find that they were promptly met, and the noslt was suppressed after it had lived the short period of seven days. It was gratifying to find that the nasantry had become alive tot the errors into which they h ad momentarily been deluded by the example, and perhaps corrupted by the anis series of the county of Clare, and that they were determined to obey and not violate the law. Denis Foley examined by Sergeant GOOLD—Knows the Bog of Portcruslia. Was employed by Stein and Browne on the 3d of 31ay last, as labourer, with 33 men, cutting turf : there were about 430 persons, men, women. and chil dren, employed on the bog; I had 33 men under myself; knows Devitt; I saw him at work on the bog ; saw a large body of men on the road ; I know a man named Itiolony ; I saw every body go off from the bog with their tools, towards O'Brien's Bridge, hunaing and shouting; I went myself to Molony's house to tell him that I had heard his field was to be dug up; I cannot tell the name of the person I heard say tide. Martin Kelly—l know the prisoners. Devitt was at work on the bog ; Storin was not, but came about ten o'clock, as if from the Clare side. Storin said something to the men, and they all went off shouting. I was forced to go too, foe I was in dread, because Devitt aid he would break my head, and split my skull if I did not go. I went as far as O'Brien's-bridge with them, and then left and went home. Robert Johnson, police constable—l know the prisoner Devitt. Saw him on the 2d of May at llootpelin. There were a great number, front 300 to 400 persons, O'Brien's bridge at the time, with slams and pitchforks; ; they were coming from the bog at Portcrusha and going to- wards the county Clan. I arrested. Devitt in his own house, on the night of the 11th May ; he said if he knew I was coming, he would be at home before me. I arrested Storm in his own house: be said nothing till I asked him out of joke if he would have staid at home if he knew I had been corning, and he said be would lbot. James Molony—Saw the lands of Ross after the 241 May, and they were turned up. Crosaesamined— I know Devitt well, and can give him nothing but a good character.—Mr. D'Esr malts contended the capital charge could not be sus tained on the evidence which had been adduced.—The Learned Judge (Moots) over-ruled the point4alleging that was a question for the Jury. Judge Moots then charged the Jury, and recapitulated the evidence at some length. The Jury retired for about ten minutes, and returned with a verdict of Guilty of the capital charge against both prisoners. —The ATTORnaT. Geneasia here said that as this was the only capital charge he meant to proceed in, it became his painful duty to call for judgment on the prisoners. The prisoners were removed without sentence being passed. Stephen Gleason, Thomas Scanlan, John Frawley, John Naughten, Thomas ?levity, Patrick Punch, end John Duggan were indicted fur riotously assembling to injure and dig up pasture lands against the statute. The prisoners pleaded guilty. Mr. D'Esr teas addressed the Court in mitigation of punishment. He moved on the joint affidavit of the pri. soners, who swore that they had never been in custody, or charged with any crime or misdemeanour before ; that they had joined in the assembly through fear, having been served with notices to do so or to prepare their coffins, and they further swore that these notices they had given up to their landlords, to whom they referred for their characters. The A TTOILIf eTsGINEPAL said that the affidavit having now been filed, it became his duty, on the part of the crown, to state to the Court the matters which were charged against the prisoners. It appoint! that on the sth of April last, Mr. Vokes, the Chief Magistrate of the County, having obtained information that a tumultuous assembly was about to take plan, proceeded to Crarara, where he fell in with a party armed with spades and stones, who, on the ap proach of the Magistrate, advanced towards him In a menacing manner, he haying but a small party of the police force with him, though at hand he was attended by a con siderable body of militaty. Immediately on coming in contact with the insurgent, Mr. Vokes succeeded in ap prehending the seven persons now at the bar, all of whom appeared to be acting as leaders to the party. He wished it was in his power to give credit to the statement put forward by the prisoners in the affidavit. Ile wished he could cots scientiously believe that they were assembled under the in fluence of intimidation ; but when he found it sworn, on the other hand, that they were leaders of a lawless b ody, assembled to commit a most mischievous crime, he could not give implicit endence to their statement. However, as his object, and that of the Government with which he had the honour of being connected, was the prevention of crime, and not the persecution of individuals, lie should leave the case in the hands of the C o wt, satisfied their Lord. ships would deal with it as it eeserved. if the Court thought the prisoners had made any point it. their favour, tint forbid that he should offer any to servatiun that would add one hour to the pet issd of their imprisonment. The Court intimated that they would take time to consider and enquire into the , case from the gentlemen residing in the neighbourhood of the prisoners before it poised sentence. The prisoners were then removed. Michael Downey, Michael Clohesy, Thomas Nooman, Patnek Fitzgibilon, Michael Slolony, John Counane, and Qaviel Faher, were indicted ft.r feloniously and unlawfully njuring the pasture lands of Michael Cagey, at Kamaßosh, no the 21st of April last, by digging and taming up the same. They were also indicted tot unlawfully and riotously assembling against the form of the statutes. The prisoners pleaded Nut Guilty. The facts of the ease were fully proved by the witnesses for the Crown. Michael Sheedy called on behalf of the prisoner Counane; deposed that he was only a spectator, looking on at the party. Cross.esausined by the ATTORNAV•ISEXERAL-- Was nut digging myself : I know many who were digging, but would no: swear against client ; I saw one of the graves. Sergeant Goozn—Was the grave large enough fot you? Witness— Yes, for you along with me. (Loud laughter.) Mr. Lau rence Roche and Mr. John Hannan gave klolony, Fitz gibbon, and Clohessy good characters, as honest and Indus. ttious men. Judge Jeaa briefly charged the Jury, who, without hesitation, returned a verdict of Guilty against all the prisoners. TUESDAY, MAY 31. John Bradshaw, John Shea, Patrick Shea, W. Wit. lets. Thos.

Sir EDWARD &MD= moved to dissolve the mar mode in this case by the ViceXhanceilor. restraining Ead Ferrer. and his agents from cutting down any timber whatsoever on his Lordship's estate at Staqton Harrold, and in case of an infringement of such order, that his Lordship's estates might be sequestrated, and Mr. Davey, the agent, be committed to the Fleet for contempt. Mr. WAREFIRLD followed OR the same side. Mr. KNIGHT and Mr. KINNERSLEY were beard in support of the Tice.eltancellor's onler. The affidavits, they contended, clearly showed that Lord Fervent was cutting ornamental timber, and he only as k e d f or a d e l ay to eoa bl e him to go on doing so. The LORD enaxceseeto said it must be at the peril of all parties so to do. His hardship could not go ioto his park and cut timber with a penknife; and if other persons violand the injunction granted in March, unless they were Members of Parliament, they would most assuredly be soot to the Fleet. The Learntd Counsel then argued on the Improper time of the year for felling timber, and read another affidavit, which stated Cita Lord Ferrer' had cut down an ornamental 111YeMae. Sir R. SUDDEN wu about to reply, when— The Loan CIIRIICELLos said it was unnecessary. His Lordship then said he thought time should have beer: al lowed to Lord Ferree to answer the affidavits before the Vice Chancellor pronounced the order. It was no slight matter for a Noble Lord's estates to be sequestrated, and other par ties sent to the fleet without their haring an opportunity of answering the facts charged against them. He felt, there. fore, bound, under all the circumstances of the case, to dis mis. the Order made by the Vice.Chancelior. The LORD CHANCELLOR, after pronouncing the deci. sion, said, I am happy to be able, in the presence of the Noble Defendant, to stay (Karl Ferrets was sitting on the Bench), that I have no doubt be will maturely weigh and well consid e r w h at t i m b er h e cuts . I h ave no doubt he will be careful that a sequestration does not issue against his estates, or that those acting under his orders should not be sent to the Fleet for contempt. Sir E. SUDDEN assured the Court that Lord Ferrets was acting under the most deliberate advice. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, Juxs 3.
