The Greeks appear to have fairly made up their mind that H.R.H. the PRINCE ALFRED shall be their new Sovereign. Demonstrations are making rapidly in all directions throughout the revolu tionized kingdom—spontaneous demonstrations, in favour of the Second Son of Queen - VICTORIA as the ex-King °MO'S successor. Athens and the Pirmus are again and again the scene of tumultu ous rejoicings over the elect of the whole nation. More than once the British Minister, Mr. SCAR LETT, has been summoned to the windows of the Embassy in answer to the calls of the enthusiastic multitude. Upon each of these occasions his Ex cellency has had to remind the Athenians that he could himt.elf in no way divine the views of his Government on this question of a choice of Sove roign. Yet upon each occasion Mr. SCARLETT, by not allowing his words to jar with the popular sentiment, has retired from his rather difficult po sition amidst acclamations. Everything, indeed, points to the selection of Prince ALFRED to the Throne of Greece as King ALFRED, as the one inevitable—and so far as Greece is concerned, so far a s England is concerned, and, in truth, also, w© believe, so far as Europa is concerned—the desirable selection. Let but the population pronounce their decision boldly, frankly, 'without one shadow of a shade of doubt that the design will be realised, and the Powers of Europe will never repel that unanimous demand. Prince ALFRED, without the faintest show of opposition, will take his place among the reigning Sovereigns of Christendom. The Prin ciple of Non-Intervention formally adopted as it has been among them as the guiding principle of their diplomacy, pledges England and France, and other nations, not to withstand the resolutely ex pressed wish of any independent pe-, - ;ple. There might be discomfort at St. Petersburg, there might be secret regrets at St. Cloud, but the de termination of the Greek population in favour of Prince ALFRED as their chosen King would sooner or later he infallibly regarded as conclusive. The English Government has nothing whatever to do in this matter but to hold its peace. English diplomacy has no need whatever to utter or indite one syllable. Patient waiting and pro found silence will tend more than aught else to favour our interests. Once the Greeks themselves have deliberately declared their choice to have fallen upon the second son of Queen VICTORIA— then, bu t not till then, need the Ministers of the Crown of England take part in the discussion of this probl em , a to the selection of a Sovereign of Greece as part a purely real ly nomin al ; ? and not as hitherto for the most So clearly h as it il b l q Constitutional Government. : me manifest that the choice of Greec© te n d s the installation of Prince ALFRED at Ath ens as t henew monarch of that revolutionised nationalitytghat th e tone of the press of Paris has already ma d Con. Instead of being openly enain lle a com plete altera some flagrant i ns t a nces it might have been said at the o u t se t in solently hostile, the journals of th e have recently within the last few aSB French capital discuss the possibility or the proba pritheb. b egun to ty of the c hoice of the Greeks falling upon Prince ALFRED one calmly and serious l y t o be entertained, edLet but the Russian autocracy b isolated in it s opp o sition to this p ro j ect of our En g lish Prince being installed at Athens, and the problem is solved, Price© ALFRED of England is at once transformed into ALFRED, King of Greece. Already it may he b-id of the Greeks in regard to their choice of a Sovereign that it is made and announced. The demonstrations that have been made could hardly have been more remarkable tither in enthusiasm or in unanimity. ALFRED the King has in a man ner already been proclaimed. The spontaneous choice of the nation has only, so to speak, to be ratified by the Legislature. The mean in g of this choice—who is there that does not understan d, instinctively, upon the instant It is not so much — (Prince ALF RED himself knows that perfectly well) - -it is not so much that the young Prince himself is looked to individually with confidence and hope. Though there is ample reason for both in the in stance of his Royal Highness—born and bred as he has been in the wholesomest atmosphere an earthly prince could well breathe, in the midst of a free people, surrounded by the elevating associa tions of a pure and enlightened Court, and having before him, from the first dawn of his intelligence , the harmonious co-operation of a Constitutional So vereign and a Constitutional Government. It is not to Prince ALFRED, nevertheless, that Greece looks now so hopefully—it is not to his Royal Highness himself individually. It is to English influence, to England's policy, to England's gua rantee of a truly, really, solidly, practically Constitutional Government. ALFRED, the Prince, is in his personal character, in his very age and education, in his appearance and tem perament precisely what the Greeks would wish to find when looking around them for a new Sovereign. But ALFRED once named King there would be assured to the Greek people not the semblance, but the substantial zeality of a Constitutional Government. The youthful Monarch, ascending the throne of Greece, as he would do, at about the very same age at which his unhappy pre decessor, OTEo of Bavaria, was conveyed, thirty years ago, from Munich to Athens—would proceed to the classic capital of Greece under far better aus pices in every imaginable way than those surrounding at his advent the last ill-starred Sovereign. King ALFRED would go to Athens not simply attended by a keen-witted English sailor diplomatist like the then Captain, the late Admiral Lord LYONS, who conveyed King OTHO to the Pirieue, and afterwards remained during so many years, at the young King's request, British ambassador to the Court of Athens—King ALFRED, when he goes thither—if he goes, as go we doubt not for an instant that he will—will be accompanied to his destination, to his future home in the palaoe of the capital of his future kingdom, by the prayerful good wishes of the English nation, by the wise advise of all English . Statesmen—bent, the na tion and its rulers alike, on seeing him transformed into that most desirable blessing of all for Greece, a King calculated to guarantee to the Greeks the priceless blessing of a truly free and Constitutional Government. There are rumours now from both sides in Ame rica of a serious movement of the North upon Rich. mond. A letter from a Southern correspondent to a contemporary, which we give elsewhere, shows that the South were anticipating vigorous and combined operations on the part of the North so far back as the sth of last month. These ex pectations are fully justified by the actual doings and movements of the Federal commanders. In every direction, from the Mississippi to the Bay of Chesapeake, they are making renewed exertions for a winter and spring campaign. The work of building river and ocean steamers is proceeding with great rapidity, and a very large proportion of them are for the western rivers, intended, there fore, to penetrate the slave States in all directions, and to carry the PRESIDENT'S proclamation of emancipation to the very plantations themselves ; these, as the rule, having always a river frontage. The actual position of the Federal armies looks more like action than ever. General BURNSIDE has divided his army into three divisions, with a trust worthy general at the head of each—SUMNER, FRANKLIN, and HOOKER, while a fourth corps de reserve is commanded by SIGEL. BURN SIDE has also decided on adopting the base of operations nearest to Richmond, Acquit). Creek, via Fredericksburg. That place is indeed a hundred miles from the Virginian and Southern capital, but the railroad from it runs direct to Rich mond, and will be tha chief Federal reliance. But according to accounts from both North and South, this combined advance from the North is not to be the only one. ROSENCRANTZ is to come through Cumberland Gap to Kentucky from the west, while a fifth body is to ascend from Suffolk from the south of the James River. Nor are the Confede derates to have troops to spare from other parts to come to the aid of Richmond. Charles- ton is to be seriously attacked, and Vicksburg, with the rising of the waters, is to feel once more the power of the Federal gunboats. Hitherto the navy has been the strength of the North—and they seem conscious that on it they must chiefly rely— for, while last year they had only eighty-nine yes sels of all kinds, this year those built and building amount to three hundred and eighty-six. Of these, two hundred and eighty-one ate steamers, and the number of the gunboats among them very considerable. All this looks like a campaign in earnest in the spring, when nearly all the vessels will be com pleted. The South, on its part, meets the fearful aspect of this increased vigour with calm determi nation. It despises the Northern recruits, and does not appear to fear the new commander of the Northern army. Hitherto it has had to contend with excess of caution, it will now have to meet more of energy and dash. It is natural that with such men as STONEWALL JACKSON and STUART, with LEE at their head, for their commanders, they should not much fear that they shall be out witted. The South appears to be drawing its armies more together for the defence of Richmond. Till now JACKSON has kept west of the Blue Mountains, while MTLELLA.N was on the eastern side of the range. His intention, it is understood. was, that if APCLELLAN moved towards Richmond south eastwards, he would make a counter move to the north-west, and again invade Pennsylvania through Niaryland. Now, however, the Potomac has risen so high that he could not ford it just when and where he pleased, with the artillery and baggage of an army ; hence, having no means of operating there, and the capital being threatened, he will doubt less do, as we are informed he will, move to the south and east, to be ready for any of his old operations in the rear of the Federal Gene rals when they shall have got far enough from 'Washington and their base of operations. Any attack upon Washington itself would now be quite hopeless. Oa the whole, it would seem that the opinion of the Liverpool cotton merchants, when they received the news of M'CLELLAN'S dis missal, was right. They demanded a considerably higher price for their cotton, believing that the PRESIDENT intended to carry on the war with re newed vigour, and so we find it. Two hundred thousand Federals at least, perhaps as many more, are converging on Richmond, three hundred and eighty-six war vessels in a very few months will threaten the rivers and coasts, and altogether seven hundr e d t h ousand Federal soldiers are said to be in motion. All this does not look as if the end of the We read, s war were at hand. and the JEFFERSON ionudtheed2oorf prejecta.from both the North 1.) ma t s is su w pp il l . ying . US have a million bales (four ' with cotton. i m s i s l a l i lo d n , t p o ou le n t d u s s ) price of 71-' cents., or h r u n n g d , 1 1 t a at the now fabulously l ow threepence three farthing s p er lb . But he wants gold for it at t his p rice— and wants the buye rs also to secure its immunity from captur e by the Federal G o vernment, But , alas! the Federal Government also is talking of a plan to liberate cotton for the European markets, and probably for its own too. The hitch lies in the gold. The South has, hitherto, had the opportunity to ship its cotton, if it wished, at New Orleans, the Government guaranteeing that the sales should be protected; but the planters could not trust the Federal Government. The gold is not only itself a tempting prize to such a man as General BUTLER, but it was well known by both parties to be the sinews of the war itself. Half the value of the blockade would vanish if the South were able to obtain in exchange for its cotton six or seven millions of gold. It would soon experience no want of more Alabamas, or of the munitions of war. Bills from the South payable in gold would open all the ports of Europe and break • all the blockades. Very conflicting are the accounts of the negroes, according as they reach us from Northern or Southern sources. From Richmond we are told that the story of their fidelity would furnish inci dents striking and numerous enough for a novel. Nor can it be doubted that there have always be3n hundreds and thousands of kind masters for whom a slave, like any other well-treated servant, not having felt the sting of slavery, would do and suffer much, for the negroes are a docile and affec tionate race. At the same time the South itself seem 3 to bear witness to the tyranny and the cruelty of other masters, by showing so much fear of a servile war. Either all7the writing or talk of that kind is mere declamation, or the great mass of the negroes have suffered enough in personal treatment, and in being bought and sold like cattle, to be ready to take their liberty by violence it the South will not give them the benefit of the PRESIDENT'S proclamation. From the North, however, we hear very different stories. The negroes appear ready to escape from the blessings of slavery in embarrassing numbers. It is not easy, of course, to find them work fast enough. At New Orleans and in Louisiana, where the Federals are in power. they readily work for their old masters for wages with Federal protection, and in South Carolina they have done, so far as the war is concerned, better still. They have been tried in a small expedition with an armed steamer and a gunboat, and showed the utmost coolness under fire, working the guns with enthusiasm. The incident has produced a deep impression, as it was calculated to do. The negro is the man who can assuredly engage in a justunz bellunz, in the technical as well as moral sense, against the South, and if the North would but summon all the more ardent negro spirits, and drill them to fight regularly in its ranks, the South would quickly collapse, while the North would never know the want of recruits. 7HE PRINCE AND PRINCESS OF HESSE. The following communication has been received by Lieu tenant-Colonel Gladdish, commandant of the Ist Kent (Gravesend) Volunteer Artillery : Sir,—l have received the commands of her Royal High ness the Princess Louis of Hesse to thank the Kent Volun teer Artillery, which under your command turned out on the 14th inst. to do honour to her Royal Highness and Prince Louis on their Royal Highnesses' first visit to Gravesend since their marriage. Will you be!g3od enough to commu nicate the above to the officers, non-commissioned officers, and privates of the brigade ? The duty appeared to me to be most efficiently performed. I have the honour to remain, your obedient servant, SYDNEY. MR. MASSEY.—There is no foundation for the statements which have appeared in several of the public prints relative to Mr. Massey's illness and intended resig nation of the chairmanship of Ways and Means. THE LATE PRINCE CONSORT.—The Albert Me morial Fund Committee at Halifax, at a meeting held at the Town-hall of that borough, and presided over by the mayor (Mr. John Crossley), on Friday last, approved the model of an equestrian statue of the late Prince Consort designed by Mr. Thornycroft. They also fixed upon the site for the statue to be at Ward's-end, a conspicuous part of the town. SHIPMENT OF GUNPOWDER FOR THE CONFEDE RATE GOVERNMENT.—There is no doubt that a ship left Cardiff last week having on board a considerable quantity of gunpowder intended for the Confederate Government. The ship in question was partly loaded with coal, and re ceived, one day last week, a consignment of 220 tons gunpow der, which was shipped alongside. The Bute Dock autho • rities, knowing the danger of such a large quantity of combustible matter being near the shipping, urged the immediate departure of the vessel. Application was made to the Customs fur a clearance to Nassau, but on the contents of the cargo being known it was refused. In the meantime the ship had obtained the dock clearance, and had put out of Penarth Roads. The ship soon afterwards sailed, and nothing more has been heard of her, although she was minus the usual Custom house papers. The person who was in command of the vessel was an unqualified captain,— Western Daily Press. TnE FEDERAL ARMY.—When Colonel M'Murdo told his volunteers the other night that there was neither drill nor discipline in that mass of stupidity and inhumanity, the American army, as he is reported to have done, he com mitted an error as well as an injustice, and it is rarely he does either. As a mass the American volunteer army is the very reverse of stupid, and the men are not inhuman any more than we are, though the United States service is disgraced by such wretches as M'Neil, as their government is tainted with infamy by retaining them in its employment. As to drill, there is only too much of it. Let Colonel 11I'Murdo ask the English officers who have visited American camps what their opinion is on that point, and he will be astonished to hear such accounts of brigade and division field-days as they will give, when he reflects that the mass of these men are volunteers. With respect to real disclipine there is in deed little enough, though there is a delusive outward show of it. In censuring the want of principle displayed in the American battles, Colonel M'Murdo would do well to re member that we have only received accounts of them from very ignorant men,with the exception,perhaps of M‘Dowell's report of Bull Run, which is admitted by military critics to have been well conceived and carried out up to the point when the fresh troops under Johnstone threw themselves on the Federal right and rear, and doubled it up. Colonel M'Murdo has praised the movements of Stonewall Jackson and Stuart, so that we must refer his remarks to the Federal leaders only ; and, in our opinion, M'Clellan's fault was looking too much to strategy and too little to action.—Army and Navy Gazette. THE ACCIDENT NEAR ALNWICK.--Two more deaths have occurred at Rock, near Alnwick, through the explosion of the boiler of a thrashing •machine engine upon Rock-mcor-farm, on Wednesday last, making ten who havo fallen victims to this sad accident. Their names are David Richardson, 16, and Robert John Pallister, the son of the steward, a little boy, aged seven, who was hurled against a hayrick and had one of his legs broken. Some others of the young people who were injured aro so severely mutilated that but slight hopes aro entertained of their recovery. SERIOUS CONFLAGRATIONS (THIS DAY.)—A fire broke out early this morning in the premises of Mr. J. A. Newton, beershop-keeper, Edwar d - street, Barnsbury-road, Islington. By the time the fire brigade arrived the flames extended into every room in the building, and all the fire men could do was to protect the adjoining houses, which they succeeding in saving from fire, but they were much damaged by water. The inmates narrowly escaped from from the house. About 2 o'clock this morning a fire took place in the mansion of J. Hopkins, Esq., Eastburne- Cottage, Laurie-park, Beakenham. With the parish en gine and a reel of hose from the Crystal Palace the inmates and neighbours succeeded in Extinguiiling the fire before the arrival of the engines from London. The loss, how ever, is serious, as the dining room and costly fittings and furniture are destroyed, and the rest of the house severely damaged by fire and water. The fire was caused by a defect in one of the flues. FUNERAL OF DR. BERNARD. —The funeral of Dr. 1 Simon Bernard, who died in London on 'Wednesday last, took place yesterday. At 2 o'clock the mournful proces• sion started from Percy-street, Bedford-square, where the deceased had resided. Some of his immediate friends fol lowed the hearse in mourning coaches, while about 1,000 persons, about two-thirds of whom were foreigners, accom panied it on foot, walking four abreast. The procession pro ceeded along Oxford-street and Edgeware-road to the Pad dington Cemetery at Kilburn, which had been selected as the last resting place of the exile, and where the bodies of a great many of his fellow exiles also repose. Several orations having been delivered over the grave, the proceedings were brought to a close by " Viva la Republique, Democratique et Sociale," and the whole dispersed. The greatest order pervaded the proceedings. AMERICAN MAILS. —The Cunard steamer Arabia, Captain Stone, sailed on Saturday from Liverpool for Hali fax and Boston, with the American mails, about 60 passen gers, a quantity of specie for Halifax, and a full cargo.

The Dagbladet of to-day says— " The Estates of Holstein will assemble shortly after New Year's-day• " As soon as they have finished their business, the Rigsraad will cow, oke a common Parliament for the kingdom of Denmark and Schleswig." ST. PETERSBURG, Nov. 30. The Journal de St. Petersburg of to-day says : "We are enabled to confirm the statement that Russia has never for a moment thought of deviating from the principles expressed in the London proto col, whereby all members of the familieson the Greek question, eftheuprteintoeeting Powers are excluded from the throne of Greece." The Russian Government made a declaration to this effect as far back as the 19th October last, be fore any discussion of the Greek question arose in England. TURIN, Nov. 30 (Evening). The Italia Jf this evening says :—" It is asserted that the Cabinet have tendered their resignation, and that a communication will be made to Parlia ment to •morrow which will explain their motives for this step." Nov. 29. To-day, in the Chamber of Deputies, General Durando made his expected speech on the foreign policy of the Italian Cabinet. _ He contradicted the accusation that the Govern ment had made the French alliance the exclusive basis of their foreign policy, and continued : "We agree with England on many questions. That power leaves Italy free to express her wishes, but will not take too direct a part in the Roman ques tion, one side of which has a religious bearing. If the Roman question has not advanced, neither has it retrograded. It was useless to hope for any re sults from negotiations with the court of Rome, and we were therefore obliged to direct all our efforts towards France in order to terminate the occupa tion of Rome. The late note of M. Drouyn de Lhuys allows us to expect a favourable reception by the French Government of our proposals. Be fore proceeding further with the negotiations, how ever, the Cabinet awaits the decision of Parliament/ TURIN, Nov. 30. In to-day's sitting of the Chamber of Deputies the Minister of Public Works defended his political conduct since 1848. He spoke with emotion of the moment " when it became necessary to stifle in his breast the voice of friendship for Garibaldi in order to do his duty as a Minister." _ _ The speech of the Minister was much cheered by the Assembly. ATHENS, Nov. 24. Another demonstration took place here yesterday and at the Pincus. Mr. Scarlett repeated that he could not express any opinion on the question, as it was in higher hands. He recommended moderation, and waiting for the assembly at Lanai% and Nos tizza. Prince Alfred has been regularly proclaimed King. NOVEMBER 27, 10.50 P.M. Hydra, Spezzia, Nauplia, Tripolitza, Sparta, Calamatra, Chalcis, Syra, and Kiriten have all de clared for Prince Alfred. DESPATCH EX2 RA ORDINARY ! ! —in ro SCHLESWIG 110LS2EIN. pespatch from Count Elsinore, his Danish Ma. jesty's Chief Secretary of State for Forei_gn Affairs, to Baron Brandholm, Minister in Lon don, from the Court of Denmark. KUPMANSHAFN, Nov. 31, 1862. Sir, The British Minister at this Court has communicated to me a despatch addressed to him by Earl Bustle, her Britannic Majesty's Chief Se cretary of State for Foreign Affairs, on the subject of the differences which have arisen between the Court of Denmark and the German Bund, in refer ence to the Duchies of Holstein, Schleswig, and Lauenburg. As the points in question, so essential to the integrity of Denmark, had not been referred to the Court of St. James's, I am directed by his Majesty to acknowledge through you the friendly interest in the affairs of this kingdom which that Court has thus spontaneously evinced; an interest which, in the opinion of his Majesty, is as unquestionably well intended as was the anxiety manifested on a former memorable occasion, when the same Court not less spontaneously and with still more striking energy took measures for the security of the Danish fleet by conveying it to British ports. It is in a corresponding spirit of amity that his Majesty now directs me to communicate some sug gestions which in his Majesty's opinion would con tribute greatly to thepeace,good order, and security of the British dominions. As the Island of Ireland is inhabited by a popu lation of six millions, three-fourths of whom differ in race, language, and religion, from the people of England, and are desirous to re-establish the sepa rate legislature and administration which that once happy country for centuries enjoyed, and of which it was only recently deprived by means of shameful bribery and corruption, the Court of Denmark are of opinion that the Irish Parliament should be re vived, and an entirely separate system of govern ment and taxation in that country. I am directed further to recommend that the proceedings of the Irish Parliament and Courts of Law should always be conducted in the Irish language. His Danish Majesty has been informed that the inhabitants of the Isle of Man are of Celtic origin, and that the Manx language is a Celtic dialect. His Majesty therefore conceives that it would con duce to the interests of peace if that island were united to Ireland rather than to England, and if the proceedings in the Manx House of Keys and law courts were conducted in the Manx language. His Danish Majesty has long taken a deep inte rest in the lonian Islands, and desires me to recom mend that since the Greek population has a decided antipathy to British rule, they should be permitted either to establish a septinsular republic, or to unite themselves with the kingdom of Greece. The island of Heligoland being in the neighbour hood of Danish waters has attracted his Majesty's special attention. His Majesty is of opinion that since its inhabitants are Germans the surrender of that holy isle by her Britannic Majesty to the, free city of Hamburg would be a measure highly ac cepted to the German Band. The insular groups called the Orkney and Zet land Isles for a long period belonged to the Danish crown. The names of all places in both groups are of Scandinavian origin, and his Majesty feels con fident that the inhabitants must retain a proud re membrance of their Scandinavian descent. His Alajesty therefore suggests that a Plebiscite should be resorted to, in order to ascertain the wishes of the Zetlanders and Orcadians. The possession of the Channel Islands by Eng land amounts to a dismemberment ofj France, and in the opinion of his Majesty it would not merely be an act of friendship but of justice, if those islands were ceded to the Emperor of the French, and the French Boundaries thereby rectified. A Plebiscite might be tried in this instance as in the case of the Orkney and Zetland Isles. With regard to the British colonies generally, I am directed by his Majesty to state for the infor mation of Earl Bustle that in the judgment of his Majesty it would be a great improvement in the system of administration if each colony were to elect its own Governor, and to have its own mili tary and naval forces. This arrangement, as you will easily convince her - Britannic Majesty's Minis ter of Foreign Affairs, would contribute greatly to the consolidation of the British Empire. The Court of Denmark has other recommenda tions to offer with regard to Hindustan, Malta, Gibraltar, Perim, and the Isle of Wight, but con ceives that -the above suggestions afford sufficient material for one despatch, and reserves the friendly communications which it desires to make on these points for some future opportunity. You will at your earliest convenienee obtain an audience of Earl Bustle, and read to him this despatch. Accept the assurances of my high conside ration, ELSINORE. NORTH-EAST LONDON RIFLES.—The annual dis tribution of prizes of the above regiment took place on. Saturday last, at the Drill Hall of the corps, in Shaftesbury-street, Hoxton. The hall was beauti fully decorated with flags, which were kindly lent by Major Thomson and G R. Stephenson, Esq., who denuded their yachts for the occasion ; in addition, to which, Captain Labrow brought his talent for drawing into play by affixing to each column of the hall a flag, on which was pointed in succession the coat-of-arms of every officer in the regir&rit: •Lady De Heghte4 :(the- wife of the honorary colonel) having consented to present the prizes, a raised dais was erected, from which they were handed to the sue - useful competitors., • Each prizewas accompanied by appropriate remarks _by her ladyship, as also by Lieut.-Colonel Money, on introducing • respectively each recipient. The bands of the Tower Hamlets Engineers and other corps who had' been invited, as also that of the regiMent itself, played several seleCt pieces, whilst all the Members of the different corps present were most hospitably entertained by the colonel, Sir Henry de Hoghton. During the whole of the proceedings the large gallery was crowded with visitors, who were admitted by tickets, and' who appeared much gratified with the brilliant spectacle before them. We observe that , the corps will give a grand fete and ball, on December 17, at the Royal Grecian Theatre, City-road, under the patron age of no 1a than t vap_nt y-ftin nnm m n din Es r_MtuarQ of Volunteers; and we can only say that, if every thing be conducted on that occasion as well as on Saturday last, the managing committee will have every reason to be pleased with the result of their exertions.

ANNIVERSARY OF THE POLISH REVOLUTION. _. On Saturday, the 29th ult., being the 32d anniversary of the Polfsh Revolution of 1830-31, a funeral service was performed at St. Patrick Chapel, Sutton-street, Soho, by theißev. Thomas Seddon, for those who fell in that national struggle, which was attended by a large number of the' Polish refugees resident in London. CHARGE OF MURDER.-oa. Friday the magis trates sitting at East Dereham, Norfolk, were engaged in investigating the circumstances attending the death of John Greengrass, a labourer. It appeared that on the night of Monday, the 24th ult., the deceased and two other men, named Benjamin Newell and Samuel Edwards, were drink.. ing at the Horseshoe publichouse at Great Dunham. On leaving the house they began to fight in the road, and the deceased knocked Newel and Edwards down, taiing a stick away from the former, who exclaimed, " I have got some thing of a -- like you," and stretched forward as if with the intention of stabbing his opponent. There is little doubt that he did so, for the deceased almost instantly fell, calling out that he was stabbed, He was then taken to his house, which was only about 100 yards off, and a medical man was sent for, but it was found that he was so seriously injured that it was considered advisable to take his deposi tion in the presence of a magistrate with as little delay as possible. This was done by Mr. A. C. Spurgeon; Newell and Edwards, who had been apprehended, being also brought into the presence of the dying man, who stated positively that Newell stabbed him, and that he saw the knife with which he was assailed. On Thursday Greengrass, who Gaol, had never rallied, e x pi re d , an d on F r id ay th e pr i sone rs Newell and Edward s , w h o h a d L een reman d e d t o S wa ffham_ s , were brought b e f ore th e mag i s t ra t es a t East Dereha N tn e . w T: bench considered the ev idence conclusive against and con4mitted hi m f or t r i a l •on a. charge of wilful murder, gdwards was discharged. • •Ss f r9 i ' ,' , a, 4—e q i . j oh 0 0.,i. t .. 4 4 . ~...„,, 4 I.* A "t_ i _l:...-"-)fir • 4 , wi1'74 ria ~, \ t z I. • , i,,-( ,0 0i .." 2 , ltOff i ' .. . ..'''._•'''i LIEU . -,0 100:0+ ... .....„, THE BRAZILS.

Hatton, chief constable, asked for a remand. A man named Stephen Warne and his wife were then brought up. The man is a chimney-sweep, and a shirt belonging to the prisoner, which had been recently washed, was found in his house on Tuesday morning. The couple had been in custody since Wednesday. No witnesses were called, but Captain Hatton stated that ho had evidence to bring for ward which would show them to have been accessories after the fact in the murder, and he wished, therefore, to have them remanded. The Bench assented to the application. On Thursday evening the prisoner Duckor sent for Mr. llaward, the surgeon who had been called in, and made a statement to him as follows :—" 1 . , John Ducker, say it was old Ben Warne. He asked me ' Had I seen the police.. man ?' and he said ' I'll be if I haven't done for him,' " The authorities do not consider this statement worthy of much attention, as there appears to he no evi dence to corroborate it. MORE CASES OF GAROTTING AT THE EAST-END —On Saturday night, a respectably-dressed man, named Joseph Stannow, aged 37years, a clerk, residing at Heaton, was admitted into the London Hospital in a state of partial unconsciousness, suffering from a pistol shot wound received while in the act of protecting himself from the attack of a garotter, under the following circumstances :—lt appears that the unfortunate man was on the way home, and while passing the rear of the above-named institution he was sud- , denly attacked by a thief, who pounced upon him from be hind. He was in the habit of carrying firo-arms with him as a protection, and drew a loaded revolver from his coat tail pocket. He discharged the weapon at his assailant, who made off, but one of the barrels burst and shattered his right hand, lacerating the limb in a frightful manner. Several of the foot passengers went up to the spot and found the injured man bleeding copiously from the injuries he had sustained. The police came up, and he was conveyed to the hospital, where Mr. Dyte, the resident house surgeon, dressed the limb, Last evening he was going on favour ably. The men who attacked him gotclear off. The police have also received information of an attack made upon Mr. Mackintyre, the landlord of the Salmon and Bull Tavern, Cambridge-heath-road, Bethnal-green, a few evenings since, by two fellows who g aro tt e d h i m, an d ma de a despe rate effort to rob him, but h e , b e i ng a strong and powerful man, succeeded in protecti ng hi s li fe an d proper ty, but the fellows made their escap e . Th e unfortunate man has some what recovered from the attack ; and although the police of the cistrict have been in search of the delinquents, they have not yet been apprehended.

Brothers,—The Governments who have settled them selves upon us sprung. up from the crime of the partition of Poland, the most heinous and iniquitous crime.ever perpe trated upon a whole nation, by violating every divine and human law. Governments resting upo'n such a foundation, and imposed upon us by invaders, cannot be, and, in fact, are no legitimate Governments at all. The Czar of Muscovy, the King of Prussia, and the Em peror of Austria sway over Poland, though they have no title to it. The nation does not acknowledge them, and they rule merely by violence, by the power of the bayonet. They afford thus an example of the most monstrous Go vernment in the world, treating like an enemy the nation, to whose body they cling like vampires to suck its very life blood, and quench every spark of national spirit. And yet the nation will not allow them to annihilate it. No nation can be killed. It is still defending itself, and for these last seventy years is Poland struggling with its foes. Several times it rose in arms, and appointed its own true Govern ments. When these were overpowered by superior force, and the nation was thus deprived of its legitimate leaders, it was left at the mercy of its foes in a complete state of anarchy, for the rule of the German and the Muscovite in Poland is nothing else but sheer anarchy. The events of last year, the- vicious and wholesale butchery of an unarmed people, called forth at last an overt expression of public opinion, and placed it in the position of a guardian and leader of the aroused nation. Thus public opinion openly expressed became at that time the ruler of the nation, the actual national Government. But when after the 15th of Oct., the Muscovites profaned our temples by bloodshed, and began to prosecute us on a grand scale by an unbounded oppression and a relentless tyranny, they compelled the nation to surround its life with mystery, and organise its elements for the defence of their most sacred rights, their vital interests. This is the origin of the national organisation upon which our foe is now vainly, but obstinately, venting its fury. The forms of the military part of the national organisation fell by accident into the hands of the Muscovite Government, who hastened to pub lish it, with cal umni.,,us comments, fancying that by making it public they would render them impossible to be carried out, and overthrow th,e whole organisation. But such ie.not the case, and never shall be; for Publicity never injures a good cause, but, on the contrary elevates and fortifies it. In reply, we announce to the Muscovite Government, before _God, in the face of the whole Polish nation, and, the whole world, that the nation is organised for the re-conquest and defence of its freedom and independence, and that it will defend itself to the last, and fight and struggle until complete victory is obtained. , We do declare that the Central National Committee is the exponent not only of the military, but also of; the national moral organisation of the country, from the moment when the Muscovite Governthent called them so ; and that. they will always act as the overt leaders, the nation's own genuine government, to which the confidence and support of the nation fully entitles them; and that they shall only cease to appear and act in their government capacity, when the nation by a free and voluntary vote shall withdraw from them, their confidence, and appoint a new Government in their place. The Central National Committee stands, therefore, in jnata-position to the alien Musbovite Government at the' actual and real NatiOnal Government. And although they may have neither soldiers nor police underarms, who invest the invaders with a mere semblance of a Government, they possess in their stead a much safer basis, upon which go vernments really act, namely, the support and acknowledg ment of the nation—they possess the moral, material, force begetting power, the utter deficiency of which in the governments of the Czars in Poland causes their downfall and destruction. We do further declare that no persecutions or victims shall ever overawe us ; that we will persevere in spite of gollows, musket or cannon-balls ; and that nothing soever shall make us swerve from our duty to emancipate and de fend Poland. We declare, moreover, that the characters of the two Governments being now clearly defined, namely, the one being the Government of the invader, the Muscovite, the other our own true National Government, the support and defence of the Muscovite Government shall be con sidered as high treason, and judged as such, and that those regulations only of the Muscovite Government shall be tolerated and carried out to the toleration and carrying out of which the central committee will grant their sanction. The Central National Committee shall still retain for the future their present and hitherto used title, and' being merely the exponent of the national organisation, even the imprisonment of all the members is not capable of shaking its power and authority. Poles I this is the present state of 'things. Heavy toils and hard struggles are awaiting us, and many of us may fall victims to our country's sacred cause. _Be prepared and de voted, Unite under our standard, which the foe, being un able to upset, endeavours to disgrace by calumny and weaken by false accusations of murder and criminal conspi-' racy. Clear ate the consciences and unpolluted are the hands of the bearers of the national standard. Not the de crees of the nation, but those of the Muscovite, are criminal. Let your voice, let the voice of the nation, judge us. We readily submit to their verdict, confident that the invec tives, the cruel oppression and tortures of the kitscovire Government, supply the !nest convincing evidence as ' to Who is the actual enemy andopponexit of the , welfare of the' na.: lion. For it is not only against our power that they inveigh, it is our power they persecute, it is the power of the nation that makes them impatient. Seeing in the national orga nisation the mighty moral power of the nation, it is against this that the. GovernMent:Of Treachery and niii#essiaim veighs, showing you at the same time what ought to be supported, where you ought to gather together, and whom you ought to defend, We invoke you to unity, to patience, and perseverance. Let us stand forth like one enormous, powerfully-united' mass against the invaders, who' do not bestow anything upon the nation, and yet overwhelm it with invective and calumny. Calling you to unity and strenuous exertions against our foe, and to obedience to the genuine national authority, we are confident that the harmonious action of the masses will accelerate the moment when we will he'able to call you to an effectual struggle for the liberty and inde-: pendence of Poland. Forward, then, brothers, in harmony, and in the name of God and of the country. THE CENTRAL NATIONAL COMMITTEE. Warsaw, September 1, 1862.

In such returns the difference of tempe rature in places at no great distance from each other, is very 4craarkjad ..... i 4 1,„i as t the thermometer was at 81.5 deg. at the Royal Observatory and only at 74: 6 deg. at Guild hall ; 75 deg. at Bournemouth, and only 66 deg. at Vent; tier. In July, also, when the wave of heat again passed over England, the reading was 80 deg. at Cardington, and 'only 70 . 5 deg. at Aspley, in the same county of Bedford ; 84 deg. at Downside College, near Bath, and but 74 . 2 deg. at Clifton. At the Royal Observatory the mean amount of cloud was 7.8 (of 9) in the three months April to June, and 7'3 in the three months July to September. The mean of 55 stations in different parts of Scotland shows that in the six months April to September the sun shone for only 1,052 hours, which is less by 128 than the average of the preced ing six years. The amount of sunshine in the summer was almost the least ever known, says the Registrar-General of Scotland, and the amount of cloud the greatest; and these two things have, held so remarkably as the , rulo for the last three years as to be confirmatory apparently of Sir J. Her schell's suggestion, that - our seasons experienced a distur bance from a comical influence in 1859 frOm which they have not yet recovered. • The amount of ozone varies greatly. It is very' small in the.inetropolis ; the mean of each quarter of thiS year has ranged from 0 , 2 at Camden town in the first quarter to 2.1 at, the Royal Observatory in the same quarter.

IMPORTANT DECISION OF THE LIVER' POOL MAGISTRATES ON THE BET TING ACT. #. • 'LIVERPOOL, SATURDAY NIGHT• No little commotion has exisced amongst the PO lice authorities here to-day in connection with a number of summonses which had been issued against several of the Liverpool betting men, the greater part of which were to have been heard this fore noon, but which were, at the last moment, with drawn, although the different pa:ties summoned were all in attendance, and the court was densely crowded. Some time ago a number of innkeepers in Liver pool were summoned for allowing betting in their houses, and convicted upon the evidence of police men, who, in plain clothes, went to their places_ of business, and made bets upon different horse-racing events, depositing money at the time. Yesterday afternoon a man named Edward Richardson, the landlord of the Saddle Vaults, a beer-house, was summoned, and the evidence against him was that of a police-officer named Westcott, who said that on Friday, the 7th instant, he went to the defendant's premises,when the latter bet him six half-crowns to "one against Duleibella for the Liverpool Cup. Defendant , booked the bet, and witness gave him half-a-crown. In dross-examination by Mr. Cobb, solicitor, 751 .1 ° appeared for the defendant, the witness Said that the half-crown with which he, made the bet was th e property of the corporation His evidence was corroborated by another officer , named Hugh WAllan. Mr. Cobb contended that there was no ease within the meaning of the act. The act relating to betting houses was passed some time since in order to put down houses which were springing up in all parts of London, and which were used solely for the pur poses of betting. The act had no reference to beer housessuch as that kept by the defendant, where people'went for refreshment. The act was made for the suppression of betting-houses, not public houses. Mr. Robertson 'Gladstone (brother of the Chan' cellor of the Exchequer), who was on the bench along with Mr. Hyslop, in adjudicating upon the case, said—" 'With regard to this case, I believe we are both of the same opinion, though I may be a little stronger in my views than my brother magi strate. We . think, that this, is not a case 'coming uncliir the act for the suppression of betting-houses That'Act of Parliarctent:svas intended for the sup' pressiori of an evil existing. I look upnt such bet" ting as has been spoken of in this case as incidental to a beer house, but the business of a beer-house is the trade, of the place. As far as my j u dgment goes, therefore, I do not think that the case coma within the meaning of the act. The upper classes could practise the, evil of betting to any extent the 9 chose, yet, when it descended to other people, il t so well off in this world's goods, the parties Wen" - . mg could be brought into court. There were club' houses in London, and in Liverpool too, where bet ting_was tantly practised.
