" This work is the production of a surgeon whose special attention has been directed, through a long vrofessional life , to the treatment- of strictures, of the uretura. The cases which Mr. Courtenay has given supply ample evidence of his great discriminative power in the diagnosis of the various kinds of stricture, and of the scientific principles upon - which their management is founded, demonstrating his success and explaining the cause of it. By his systematic management an immense mitigation of pain to the unhappy sufferers is attained, and future mischief prevented. The work we mn most unreservedly and confidently recommend as a valuable contribution, both to the general and professional reader, and ought to be found in the private study of all who are subject to stricture."—Medical Circular, Dec.

A collision„which caused injury to at least 30 passengers, some being very serious, if they do not prove fatal . in 'their results, occurred on Monday evening on the line of the North London Railway at Hackney station. The ordinary passenger train to London from the Chalk Farm station at Camden-town left there at its usual time, about half-past 5 o'clock, for London, with the Stratford train, consisting of three or four second-class carriages attached, and proceeded on its journey, followed a few minutes after by a pilot engine, which had been ordered to bring back to Camden a goods train from the goods station at Haydon-square. The fog NT a s very thick through out the line at the time, and became more dense on the approach towards Kingsland, where the engine was brought to a stand by fog signals, and th e driver was informed that he must proceed very cautiously, as the passenger train preceding him had not left the station for Hackney more than two lminutes. The engine then went on, and the pas senger'train had delivered its passengers, and was just moving from the platform of the Hackney station, when the pilot engine referred to dashed into the last carriage which belonged to the Strat ford train, and was full bf second-class passengers, The crash of the collision was so loud that, not withstanding the fog, it was heard for a consider able distance throughout Hackney, and several of the more immediate inhabitants rushed into the station, as well as the police, to render assistance. The second-class carriage was found completely smashed, and the passengers lying about in all directions, while the two or three preceding car riages were also broken, and some of the inmates contused or injured. Among the earliest arrivals of inhabitants of Hackney on the platform were Dr. Pye Smith and Mr. Clarke, surgeon, who examined and paid every attention to the wounded and in jured passengers. Some of those considered the worst cases were removed to the London Hospital, and two elderly women were taken by the police on stretchers to the German Hospital at Dai s' n. One gentleman—Mr. Bates, organist at Woodford—was found to have his leg broken in two places, and was removed to the residence of Dr. Pye Smith, where he now remains. Another gen tleman named. Deelgy, from Birmingham, with an injured spine, was to-ken to the Britannia Tavern, where he still remains, also under the care of Dr. Pye Smith. Mr. H. Vigurs, who was riding with his wife in the smashed carriage, was dreadfully cut in several places about the head and face, but his wife escaped unscathed. Two sisters—Har riette Wood, aged 18, and Maria Wood, aged 26, residing at Whitechapel, Susan Howell, a married woman, aged 34, residing at Mile end, and Thomas Miphen, a labourer, were removed to the London Hospital ; while Margaret Squires, aged 54, and Anne Denny, aged 67, were removed to the Ger man Hospital. The former are under the care of Mr. Lloyd, the house surgeon, and the latter under that of Dr. Feommann. Two little boys named Smith, who were on their way home to Stratford from school with a servant, were slightly injured; the latter, as well as some 20 or 30 persons, who were more or less injured and contused, were sent away in cabs to their respective residences. Miracu ous as it may appear, the fireman and stoker of the engine were but slightly injured. As may well be imagined, the alarm created among the passengers was very great, and loud complaints were made at the rough usage several of them received from the police and officials on being ejected from the station. although anxious to render assistance. The fragments of the broken carriages covered the rails, and the up line was consequently blocked for three or four hours ; and, indeed, the entire traffic was stopped between 7 and 10 o'clock, It is wonderful that the loss of life was not almost as great as that resulting from the late catastrophe on the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton Railway, and yet with the coolness for which railway officials are proverbial, this collision was described by some of the authorities of the North London line as a " mere trivial affair ; only a dis located ancle, or a contusion'or so." The following however, are the names and state of the injured, so far as they could be ascertained up to last evening : _ Mr. Bates, of Woodford ; leg broken in two places. Staying at Dr. Pye Smith's, Hackney. Progressing favourably. Mr. :Deeley, of Birmingham; injury to spine, not considered dangerous ; at Britannia Tavern, Hackney. Mr. H. Vigurs, cut head and face ; able to pro ceed to his own residence. IN THE LONDON HOSPITAL. Harrietta Wood, aged 18, contused head and side; no danger apprehended. Maria Wood, 26, contusions over back and shoulders; proceeding favourably. Susan Howell, 34, of Mile-end, contused head and face and contused legs. Thos. Miphen, 35, labourer, cut and contused legs. IN THE GERMAN HOSPITAL, DALSTON. Margaret Squires, of Leighton, Essex, aged 54, very much contused and bruised on .various parts of the body ; proceeding favourably. Anil Denny, of Witham, Essex, aged 67, simple fracture of the leg ; age against her, but progress ing favourably. It is impossible to know the nature of the in juries of those removed to their residences, but per sons who were present declared that there were at least thirty persons more or less hurt. According to another account, the following are the passengers who are most injured : Mrs. Squires, 'near the church, Back.lane, Ley tonstone, serious internal injuries, Mr. Francis Bates, Woodford, fractured leg. Mr. Stephen Smith, 23, Duke-street, Smithfield, and Mr. James Smith, White Hart, Stratford, at the German Hospital—both cut and contused.

MUSGROVE, seconded by Alderman WILSON, the following letter, which was read by the Deputy Town-Clerk, was ordered to be laid before the Committee of Justices, and a copy of it to be transmitted to the Committee of Common Council recently appointed to consider this subject : " Whitehall, Dec. 6. "Sir,—l am directed by Mr. Secretary Walpole to refer you to the correspondence which has taken place between successive Secretaries of State and the authorities of the City of London on the subject of providing a proper lunatic asylum for the pauper lunatics of the city, and to request that you will inform Mr. Walpole, at your earliest conve nience, what has been done in the matter.—l. am, Sir, your obedient servant, "H. WADDINGTON. "To the. Town Clerk of London." . • ALLEGED MISCONDUCT OF A LATE BROKER. EXTRAORDINARY CASE. The Court proceeded to the adjourned considera tion of the petition of Mr. Isaac Solomon, complain ing of the conduct of Francis Worrell Stevens, late a' broker. Mr. Lo Breton appeared as counsel for the peti tioner, and Mr. Hancock for the respondent. The Deputy Town-Clerk read the petition of Solomons, which was listened to' with much atten tion by a crowded court. It stated that the peti tioner did, on the 30th* day of November last, employ the said Francis W. Stevens to purchase for him £1,200 Three per Cent. Consols, and on the 14th of January last past your petitioner called on the said F. W. Stevens, and asked him whether he could get the Consols your petitioner then held transferred into the New Three per Cent. Bank Annuities P —to which question the said F. W. Stevens replied No,' • and said to your peti tioner, You must sell out the Consols before you can buy the New Three per Cents.' Your peti tioner then desired the said F. W. Stevens to sell out his said stock, which he, the said F. W. Stevens did, but did not give the money for which the said stock was sold to your petitioner, but kept the same. That the petitioner was also induced by the said F. W. Stevens to purchase certain other shares in the Worthing Mining Company, for which he charged your petitioner 7s. per share, but, on in quiry made soon after your petitioner purchased the last-mentioned shares, he found that he had been defrauded by thesaid F. W. Stevens, and your petitioner and his wife went to the said F. W. Stevens and threatened to give him into custody of a policeman for fraud; and when your petitioner informed the said F. W. Stevens of his determina tion, he said, Don't injure me; I will, return you £3OO of your m one y t o sa y no more about the Worthing shares,' which yourpetitioner accepted of the said F. W. Stevens on account of the said shares. That on the said occasion the said F. W. Stevens promised your petitioner to satisfy him as to the money he had overcharged your petitioner upon the other abovementioned shares. That your peti tioner has repeatedly applied to the said F. W. Stevens for the restoration of the money which the said F. W. Stevens has so retained as aforesaid, but without success. The Deputy Town-clerk then read the answe r o f Francis Worrell Stec ens. He stated that the state ment in the said petition that the said Isaac Solo mon 'believes I have defrauded him of £9l, or thereabouts,' is totally unfounded. That the statement of the said Isaac Solomon in his said petition that I induced him to dispose of his Tele graph shares and purchase Dale Mining shares is untrue, as he bought the Dale Mining shares and also Worthing Mining shares of me in March last, and did not sell his Submarine shares until the 7th, Bth, and 14th of April following. That I sold the Dale shares fairly and bona fide, and did not act as the broker of the said Solomon, nor did I charge commission or brokerag e , as my books willshow, anent is not true that I charged him £45. That the said Isaac Solomon did purchase 2,400 shares in the Worthing Mining Company. That such shares were my own property, and I had bought them as an investment from information I had received, believing the said shares in time must become valuable. That a few weeks after the pur chase ef.thrraleid Worthing Mining shares, and T . believe in consequence of the anticipated good news not arriving from Australia as was expected by the mail, the shares became flat and receded in value ; and the said Isaac Solomon and his wife called on me and wanted me to take back the shares, which I-declined doing. That the said Isaac Solomon then said he would go to the Lord Mayor and do for my character, and afterwards do for me. That I had killed one man (alluding to a transaction in which I had summoned a party before the Lord Mayor in respect of conduct towards me, but this party, it afterwards turned out, was insane, and committed suicide soon after my making the com plaint against him) ; that the Lord Mayor would believe what they said, because they knew he had a prejudice against me, and that they would stick to me till they took my life. Solomon then said he had come to have my life or £3OO, neither more nor less, and added, By the Almighty God I will do and say ; if you don't instantly give me £3OO I will blow out your brains,' and his wife said, If he does not finish you I have two razors in my pocket (which she produced) to finish you with; All this was said in the presence of my two sons. They continued their threats to such an extent that, being very unwell from my recent affair alluded to before the Lord Mayor, I lost my presence of mind; and, under the threat of an ex parte statement which might appear in the newspapers, and the injury it might occasion me before I could refute it, and being under bodily fear, I agreed to give the said Isaac Solomon the sum of .1300 to satisfy all claims, andthe said Isaac Solomon said he would return me the £3OO if the Worthing shares should go for the price he gave me, that is 7s. a share, which he promised to do, and thereupon I requested my son to give me a bank note for £3OO, which I handed the said Isaac Solomon, who gave me a receipt, of which the fol• lowing is a copy Received April, 1853, of Mr. Stevens, three hundred pounds, being a considera tion for all matters in dispute between us to this day inclusive.—£3oo.—l. SOLOMON.' That, there being a balance on the general account of £39 lls 2d. this 'I also paid the said Isaac Solomon, and re ceived the following receipt Received, April 14, 1858, of Mr. Stevens, £39 lls. 2d., balance of accounts, and to settle all disputes between us.— I. SOLOMON.' I also altered the accounts in my books, making it appear to account for the £3OO that the 'Worthings were charged at 4s. 6d., but I also made a memorandum in pencil that the amount was obtained from me under *eats. I have faithfully stated the facts of the circum§,tances under which I was induced to part with the said sum of £3OO, and the statements in the said Isaac Solomon's petition are untrue, as I say I never said Don't injure me, I will return your money to say no more about the Worthing shares;' that I never pro mised the said Isaac Solomon to satisfy him as to the money I had overcharged him upon the other mentioned shares as alleged, or anything to the effect, as I never did overcharge him in respect of the said shares. That a day Of,CWO after obtaining from me the said sum of £3OO, tie said Isaac Solomon's wife and daughter again caLed on me, and again used threats to do for me if I did rot give them £lOO more, whereupon I consulted Messrs. Hancock and Sharp, solicitors. of 20, Tokenhouse-yard, who advised me to bring an action to recover the sum of £3OO so obtained from me, and who informed the solicitor of the said Isaac Solomon fiey would defend any proceedings that might be taken, and requested me to give their name to any person who applied to me, and if I was molested again, to give the parties in charge of a. policeman, and on an appli cation being subsequently made to see my books by the said Isaac. Solomon's solicitor, I consulted my solicitors as to showing the same, who advised me to do so, but to refer the - said solicitor to them, which I did, but the said solicitor never applied to my said solicitors. That I hate stated shortly the facts, which I can prove by my books and witnesses, in reply to the allegations contained in the said Isaac Solomon's petition, and I humbly submit that the object of the said Isaac Solomon is extortion, and the petition has been presented under the idea that, as he had obtained £3OO from me before under threats, he would succeed, by pl'esent ing the said peti tion, in inducing'me to offer him money to aban dou it. That the said sum of £3OO was obtained from it e in settlement of all claims, tad under a promise to return it me if the Worthing shares rose to 7s. a share, and, inamticli as the shares have risen to that value, and the £3OO was obtained as a settle ment of the transactions which the said Isaac Solo mon now brings forward, I submit that the said Isaac Solomon ought to be ordered to return me £3OO before I am called on to rebut the statement made in his petition." The two receipts for the respective suths of £3OO and £39 1 ls. 2d. were produced by Mr. Hancock, and handed to the Recorder. The first was : "Received, the nth, April, ISSB, of Me. Stevens, £3OO, PRICE 4 D • STAMPED, SD. being a consideration for all matters in dispute between us to this day inclusive." The second : "Received of Mr. Stevens £39.115. al., balance .of ac count, and in settlement of all disputes between us." The document was signed, " Isaac Solomon." The petitioner was then sworn and examined as follows The Recorder—ls the signature to the receipt for £39 I ls. 2d. your handwriting . ? Petitioner (looking at the document)—Well, I should say it was not. The Recorder—Do you swear that is not your handwriting Petitioner—Well, I can swear that it is not my handwriting. The Recorder—ls the signature to the receipt for £3OO your writing ? Petitioner (after inspecting the document) —I believe that not to bo my handwriting. The Recorder—But you must kriacsi whether it is or not. You must know whether You ever signed it or not. Petitioner—That is not my handwriting. The Recorder—Did yOu ever see either of these papers before ? e be i s t t i n o e f r m — y yes: belief. at thesame Petitioner—l never Saw' those pape rs b e f o re to the time that I received The Recorder—Did y o n rece i ve the £39 Us. 2d ? Pt the £3OO. Alderman Copeland—Are the Court distinctly to understand that you received from Mr. Stevens £3OO and £39 . 118. 2d. ? Petitioner—Yes. - Alderman Rose--Iniai WnS* - the £3OO for? Petitioner—For an overcharge upon the: Worth ing, mining shares. Air. Hancock—ls that your signature (calling the attention of the petitioner to an entry in a book belonging to the respondent) ? Petitioner—Yes. The Recorder and Aldermen compared this sig nature with those to the receipts. Mr. Stevens, jun., was then examined on behalf of the respondent. Mr. Hancock—Were you present on the 14th of April, when sums of £3OO and £39 11s. 2d. were paid to Mr. Solomon ? Witness —Yes. Mr. Hancock—Did he, in your presence,lsign the receipts produced. Witness—Ye s , both of them. Cross-examined by Mr. Le Breton—The receipts were read over to the petitioner more than once. Alderman Copeland —The question is, after the admission of the petitioner himself that he received the £3OO and the £39 1 ls. 2d., whether the Court will proceed any further in the matter. The case as assumed art aspect such as I have never before witnessed in the course of my 30 years' experience here. On the one hand we have the positive evi dence of the petitioner that these receipts did not bear his signature, and on the other there is the positive evidence of a man who saw him sign them. In addition-to this there is the admission of the petitioner himself that he received the money. I cannot conceive that anything more frightful ever came before the Court, and I, for one, think we ought to impound these receipts. I move that the petition be dismissed. Alderman Sidney seconded the motion, which was put and carried unanimously. The Court after the removal of strangers, re mained in deliberation nearly an hour, when the public were re-admitted, it being understood that the City Solicitor had been ordered to indict the petitioner for perjury. NEW IVESTMINSTER BRIDGE. Before this period of the year it was confidently anticipated that some of the beautiful arches of New Westminster Bridge would have been in their places, and all the first half of the structure far ad vanced towards its completion and opening for pub lic traffic. We are sorry to say, however that some months must yet elapse before the hideous dilapida tion which now spans the river and seems about to fall into it will be relieved from further duty. Until Midsummer at least the old bridge must be used, but after that time there is no doubt but that the public will have a noble structure, not alone safe for traffic, but even worthy of the group of pa laces on which it abuts at Westminster. The delays ' - which have arisen in the course of its construction have been almost unavoidable and so peculiar in their kind that it is not worth while to entor into them here. But, from whatever cause they may have arisen, they have always been a source of dis appointment and chagrin to Mr. Page, the engi neer and architect of the bridge—tbe same gentle man who has already spanned our river at Chelsea with one of the handsomest bridges in Europe, and who in the present work seems bent an surpassing his own' high and well deserved reputation as the architect of the finest and handsomest structure of the kind extant. As we have said, the arches are not yet in course of erection, but within six weeks of the present time three of those from the Surrey side will be well advanced.. The weather just now is very un favourable for meddling with large masses of cast iron, and the dense fogs which have lately pre vailed on the river are equally against beginning oper,ations of such magnitude and difficulty as fix ing the arches across between the piers. In the meantime the works on the bridge have not been altogether delayed, and such progress has been made with the other halves of the piers as will enable the second or earlier portion of the bridge to be completed with very little trouble hereafter. Most of the iron arches are ready at the contrac tors at Battersea. Owing to their great span and the peculiarly flat curve of each arch the crowns are unusnally thin, and, in order to overcome this difficulty, it has been necessary to construct the ribs of each arch in a peculiar manner of wrought and cast iron. The crown of the arch is therefore made of wrought iron, so as, while giving the re quisite stiffness to the centre, it obviates the danger of constant percussion from heavy loads. The centre part of each arch thus answers the purpose of both rib and girder. The wrought iron portions vary in span from the centre arch, where they are 52 4 1 feet long, by 28 inches deep, to the land arches, where they are 43 feet 3 inches by 22 inches deep. These centre spans are of rolled iron by 1 inch thick, and constructed to bear with safety more than double the strain they are ever likely to en counter in the ordinary course of London traffic. The full load strain of each arch is three tons the square inch, but all wrought iron portions are tested with a compressive strain of 12 tons to the square inch, or nearly 2,000 tons to the square foot. In each arch will be 13 of these ribs, each rib being 5 feet 4 inches apart. Every 'rib and spandril wlil contain 22 tons of eastiron and five tons of wrought, the east bed plates for each being four tons, making some 34 tons in all. The total amount of wrougbt iron in the arches will be 750 tons, and of cast 3,400 tons, exclusive of the quantity used in each pier. In addition to this there are some 300 tons of ornamental castings for the parapet, outside ribs, and cornice. The squandrils of each of the outside ribs are of richly ornamented ironwork, with quatrefoil openings. The parapet is similarly designed, but with trefoil apertures. Mr. P age had the benefit of Sir Charles Barry's advice in the ornamental accessories of this iron in order that its design might be as much as possible in keeping with the architectural style of the new Houses of Parliament. By this arrangement, therefore, the new bridge will harmonize completely with the noble suburb of palaces, to which it will form the most important public avenue. In matters relatin. , to public works of this kind the extent of the intended improvements is so apt . to be forgotten that it may not be amiss here to give the general dimensions of the new bridge as compared with those of the old structure it is intended to replace. The old bridge is just 1,160 feet in length, and only 44 in width. The width of its roadway . is 26 feet, the footpaths are 8 feet each. The height from foundation to centre arch is 57 feet •, the depth of its foundation below low water mark only six feet the rise of the whole-structure being 10, , Feet above the new bridge. The cost of this edifice—certainly, when first built, one of the handsomest in Europe, was £390,000, or at the rate of £7 16s. per super ficial foot. The area of its waterway is only 16,000 feet, while the pressure on its foundations amounts to no less than 6 tons per foot, the whole mass weighing upwards of 90,000 tons. As regards improvement, the new bridge will be the very re verse of all this. Its extreme length from abut. ment to abutment is 1,160 feet, its width 85—nearly 33 feet wider than the width of London-bridge. No leas than 15 feet is allowed for each footpath, and 50 feet for the roadway. The greatest height of the centre arch will 22 feet above high water mark, while the depth of the foundations is as much as 30 feet below low water, or more than 20 feet into the London clay. The rise on the whole bridge is to be 5 feet 3 inches, at first apparently only half the rise of the old bridgs, though really less than one-third, as the new bridge joins the roadway at a much lower level. In the new bridge there seven arches ; in the old, 13 ; yet, neverthe less, the waterway of the former will give a greater area by about 3,000 feet than arch will have a span of 120 either side, 114 feet ; the the ashore arches on the sides 90 feet span each. In arches there will be three small - culvert "arches in the abutment on the Surrey side and one in that at Middlesex. The cost of the new bridge in all wilt not exceed` £235,000, or at the rate of £2 8. per snperficial foot, s4hile the ;weight on its foundation isshort of 21 tons, Of course, as can be seen from a comparison of - remove ua of building a d half the h old these dim ens i ons, th e new b r id ge w ill occupy not r only the sit e o f th e o ld s t ruc t ure, b u t as muc h more ground in additi on , b e i ng d ou bl e th e w idth . I t al the was in con sequence o f the facility this offered, to asei o traffic, t theexpenseo h while the n ew one was constructing, that Mr. Page determined s t bridge—that i t m e e n t l e p e ly n id bridges com plete o half m - its width —at on e ti me, to open the completed' por tionplete the other half as soon after as was possible. All the piers for the western half are now perfectly completed and ready for the arches, but all those for the eastern half cannot be commenced till the old bridge has been removed. In the case of four of the piers, however, the Ist, 2d, 4th, and 6th, the eastern hakes pass under the archway of the pre sent structure, and in order to strengthen the old piers from further sinking, as well as to forward the work, Mr. Page has been continuing these four piers under the old archways. Thus the general work is not only advanced, but an immense saving of time and money secured, as the four piers, will, of course be of the utmost service in facilitating the removal of the old bridge. Wherever the masonry piers and abutments of the old bridge have been cut away, the stone, which is of the best kind of Port land, has always been used in facing the abutments of the new structure. All the exterior of the new piers hbove high water mark are of solid granite, and each is so continued up to the height where the arches spring. Each of these piers will be sur mounted with octagonal columns of solid granite, some of which are finished, and one has been erected. to judge of its effect on ;part of the works at the Surrey side of the bridge. More noble-looking columns than these, or better suited for their pur pose, it would be diffieult to imagine. Each con sists of three immense blocks of granite, cut so as to form one column, with moulded capitals and bases. Some of th e blocks are 10 feet high and 6 feet in diameter, and weigh 22 tons each. The block above this part of the column weighs 12 tons, and that which forms the base no less than 16. It is earnestly to be hoped that before the bridge has progressed too far to admit of it the Board of Works will permit Mr. Page to have these columns po lished. The cost would be little when compared with the advantages gained in appearance and much increased durability of the stone. The main and guiding piles for the eastern halves of the new piers are now in course of being driven home, and the staff of divers ; will shortly be again employed to fasten the tie rods beneath the water. All these subaqueous workmen go down when the tide is at half ebb and work till it returns to half flow. After that the rush of water through the half -stopped up arches is too great, and in the bed of the river even the strongest and most experienced divers would be swept away. In spite of the intense coldness of the weather the divers even now can remain under water for five hours at one spell. After this the tide is too strong and the men get numbed and ex hausted.. The other day one overstayed his time, and the tide• swept him along and jammed him so tight between some piles near the foundation of the old bridge that two other divers had to go down to release him, which they did with great difficulty. A short time since, also, one of the workmen was down in a diving bell, when the air tube parted short off at the top. In an instant the water rushed into the bell, which was so close in the river's bed that, althoughithe man made three or four attempts to force himself under it he was unsuccessful. For tunately the accident was perceived above the water, and the bell was drawn up, though full of water, and thus, at the last moment, its unfortunate occu pant was enabled to get from under it and reach the surface almost dead from exhaustion. But, not withstanding these chances and the perilous nature of the work, no fatal accidents have yet occurred to any of the divers, though, on the contrary, some of the ordinary labourers, who seem to run compara tively little risk, have been drowned, mostly through their own carelessness. THE LATE POLISH ANNIVERSARY IN PARIS. We have been requested by a friend of the Polish cause to give insertion to the following letter, addressed to a contemporary : Sir, --- Your Paris correspondent on Saturday, notwithstanding previous proofs offered to him of the incorrectness of his information on Polish mat ters, has again been misled, and I must therefore beg your permission to rectify his assertions. He states, that on the late Polish anniversary at Paris, on the 29th November, "no religious service was attempted ;" that "a hint ecclesiastical was probably given by the authorities ;" " that it proved the intimate alliance between Russia and France ;" that " a sort of amnesty has been accepted by Prince Czartoryski ;" that, ow i ng t o th e Prince's absence from Paris, "no more than fifteen Poles had met in the library of Count Zamoyski," and that it " was a complete failure." Now, Sir, it is difficult to place more erroneous statements in so few words. The facts are these : —The Poles at Paris on the 29th of November first met as usual at the Church of the Assumption, Rue St. Honore; high mass was accompanied by the singing of the pupils of the four schools, in which upwards of four hundred Polish children of both sexes are boarded and educated ; the Abbe Jelowicki, in his sermon alluding to the gigantic obstacles in the way of our wishes and expecta tions, reminded his auditors that faith removes mountains, and pledged himself that they would perform miracles provided they were strong in faith ; they next met at the Polish library, which is in no way " Count Zamoyski's library," but is an institution open to the public, and situated in a house purchased for it in 1351, by a subscription among Poles ; instead of the annual speech de livered by Prince Czartoryski the Prince being on a visit to his daughter in Prussian Poland—an address was read by Mr. Morawski, late Minister of Foreign Affairs in Poland ; but so far from the Prince having accepted an amnesty of any sort, a letter from him was read to the meeting by his son, in which the Prince expresses his regret that he was prevented from attending, and not only insists upon the principles which have been the rule and honour of his long career, but seizes the opportunity for throwing out suggestions as to what he considers the best course to follow in the various matters which at present en gage the attention of his countrymen under Rus sian rule, namely, the suppression of serfdom and the improvement of the condition of the labouring class. Your correspondent having called the Poles who met at Paris " disaffected dreamers in a line of hopeless patriotism, " I beg leave to remind him of a well-known speech, in which the present Czar of Russia in 1856 did not think it superfluous to warn the poles at Warsaw against such " dreams," and in support of the warning added, " curje saurai sevir." It is but just to acknowledge that, though certainly of a more humane and perhaps more liberal disposition than his predecessor, he has kept that promise. It may be that he could not prevent his agents, trained in that predecessor's school, from committing acts which, under a bene volent rule, could hardly have been expected ; but the following particulars are, at any rate, worth recording. The property of a minor, young Pri nce Sauguszko, bequeathed to him by his °randfather, has been confiscated by an Imperial uk ase , i ssue d in 1856, for no offence of his own, and though him self born a subject of Austria ; the crime of the father in having served in the Polish army, in . 1831, being thus visited upon th e son. In 1858', in several parishes, amongst o th ers at Porozolvo and Pavlow, wholesale flogging of the parishioners (followed by several i mme di ate deaths) was admi nistered in the cou rse o f th e slow butunrelenting pressure exercised by th e authorities for realising the favourite scheme of the Russian Czarism : " One racs, the Russian race---one church, the Emperor's church."---I have the honour, to be sir, AN OBSTINATE DREAMER.
