Various petitions on the subject of the corn-laws were presented. In answer to the Marquis of LONDONDERRY on the sub . jeet of the alleged persecution of the nuns of Minsk, . The Earl of ABERDEEN said he had received an official • communication from Russia denying the truth of the rumours in circulation on the subject, and stating that the depositions alleged to have been taken at Rome were gross fabrications. Lord DENatax then rose to draw their Lordships' attention to the amendments which he proposed in the Irish Pacifica . p " o u l a we tot-- He objected to giving the Lord Lieutenant the and 'unj" a county for the commission of one crime, three thought. it would be better to require a requisition from magistrates preparatory to proclaiming a county.

It w u was a punish that the person should be found to be out underas e u necessary - c i rc umstances, and not upon his lawful occasions, asupccious even if so convicted, the punishment was left to the discretion of the Judge, besides, the being out must take place in a :proclaimed district, which gave to every one going out warning that he was to provide evidence that he was out upon iris lawful occasions. Ile thought there was no great anomaly in this enactment, and that unless they held out the tenor of transportation the Act would fail in effect. The Bill was for three years, but if it did not produce tran quility thee, it would be their duty to have recourse to more -stringent measures. Earl (inn - argued against the clause pimi.-hing absence from borne at night by transportation, as one subjecting - every Irish peasant who might desire not to be confined to his mi serable cabin for 16 hours to the punishment of transportation. It was contrary to natural justice, and it would be better to make the possession of weapons, the being disguised, or the being assembled in multitudes, a distinct offence. The case held by the Noble and Learned Lord (Broug,hani) W ho had undertaken the advocacy of this clause, required a great deal of bolstering up, and lie could not congratulate the Noble and Learned Lord on the success of his advocacy. . Lord BROUGHAM explained. The Earl of at. GERMANS felt obliged to the Lord Chief Justice for stating his objections. With regard to the proclamation of a district he thought the proposed measure requiring that the Lord Lieutenant Should not have the power of proclaiming a district *unless a crime bad been committed there, was rather a check on the power of the Lord Lieutenant. With regard to the change of venue, he agreed with the Noble and Learned Lord, as also with regard to the 20th clause, which. he would leave out if he were certain of some general measure passing on the subject. Then with regard to the punishment of traneporta- 1 tion for absence from home, that had been so ably argued by the Noble and Learned Lord that he would not allude to it further. The misdemeanour itself was one characterised by such different degrees of guilt that he thought the pun ishment ought to be left, as proposed by the Bill, to the discretion of the Judge. The Earl of STRADBROKE thought that persons out at night, not armed, should not be subject to a greater punish ment than imprisonment, and that those found out armed should be subject to transportation. Lord CAMPBELL complained that several of the amend ments introduced on Friday did not appear in the Bill printed, as amended in Committee. He hoped that the sug gestions of the Noble Earl (STniminoKE) would be adopted. The LORD CHANCELLOR explained that it was understood that the amendments alluded to by his Noble and Learned Friend were intended to be proposed in the report. With regard to the Bill of the Loan CIIIEF JUSTICE, he would give it his hearty support. With regard to the punishment for being out after dark, it was admitted that the punishment ought to be discretionary, and the only question was as to the limit of the discretion. Earl ST. GERMANS explained. After a few words from the Duke of RICHMOND, The Marquis of CLANRICARDE declared that he thought some such measure was necessary fur the protection of the lives and properties of her Majesty's subjects in Ireland. The Earl of WICKLOW hoped that, as the Bill was to be postponed to Monday, the interim would be devoted to the reconsideration of the clause inflicting the punishment of transportation on persons found out after sunset. After a few words from Lord Monteagle, and explana tions from the Lord Chancellor, the Earl of St. Germains Lord Brougham, and Lord Denman, the House adjourned. The SPEAKER took the Chair at Four o'clock. Ou the motion of Mr. YOUNG, a new writ was orderA for Windsor in the room of RALPH NEVILLE, Esq., who has ac cepted the office of one of the Lords of the Treasury. Mr. T. DUNCOMBE presented a petition complaining of the mismanagement of the Post-office. Mr. CARDWELL in answer to a question from Dr. Bow- RING, observed that he could not state whether any mea sures had been taken in order to give to the Australian Colonies the benefit of steam navigation. Sir R. PEEL gave notice of his intention to-morrow to move for the production of various returns illustrative of tha commercial policy pursued of late years. Sir G. CLERK, in answer to a question from Sir C. NArme, stated that he was unable to say when he should be able to bring forward the Merchant Seamen's Bill. Sir R. PEEL, in answer to a question from Mr. O'CONNELL, said that everything had and would be done by the Government to obviate the impending famine and disease in Ireland, and he believed that in the course the Government had adopted they would be assisted by the proprietors of land and the moneyed gentry of Ireland. If the resolutions that went through Committee on Friday were adopted on the report to-night, Indian corn, buck wheat, and rice would be admitted duty free, and he trusted that that would considerably relieve the wants of the people of Ireland. He trusted that the Hon. and Learned Gentleman would not call upcn him to enter into the details of the course that was proposed to be adopted by the Government. Sir R. PEEL, in answer to a question from Mr. M. Gfasox, said that it was proposed by the Government with respect to all articles in the tariff, immediately upon the passing of the resolutions, to issue a Treasury order that they should be ad mitted immediately upon the lower rate of duty. Mr. GREENE brought up the report on the resolutions agreed to on Friday night, relative to the duties on corn, grain, meal, flour, &c. After a short discussion, in the course of which Mr. LID DELL stated that it was not his intention to trouble the House any further with respect to the timber duties, Sir R. PEEL stated that the existence of the order of the Treasury, which he proposed to issue with respect to the articles in the tariff on which the duty was to be reduced, would depend upon the Bill on the subject being adopted or rejected by the House. As to maize, buck wheat, and rice, he proposed to issue a Treasury order immediately to admit them at a nominal duty, but that order would be dependent on the fate of the Bill he proposed to introduce founded on the resolutions. Mr. W. MILES would not divide the House upon the reso lution with respect to Indian corn, buck-wheat, and rice, as the Right Hon. Baronet had stated that the order of the Treasury would be dependent upon the fate of the Bill to be introduced upon the subject. Mr. CARDWELL said that there was no ground for sup posing that the introduction of Indian corn would interfere with the interests of the British agriculturists. Mr. NEWDEGATE denied that Indian corn would ever be come a staple article of food in this country. Mr. S. CRAW FORD would like to see even the shilling duty that was to be retained on Indian corn removed. Mr. lIUME hoped to see Indian wheat made an article of food where wheat could not be obtained. After some discussion, the other resolutions and reports were agreed to, and Bills founded upon them were ordered to be brought in. The House then went into Committee on Customs (the tariff), in the course of which it was arranged that the unop posed resolutions should be taken first, and that the discus sions on the reeolutions that were opposed, especially those with respect to silk and brandy, should be taken upon the bringing up of the report on Friday. Mr. ENVART then moved that modern foreign books should be admitted duty free, upon which a short discussion took place, after which the motion was withdrawn. The other resolutions of the tariff having been gone through, Lord JOHN RUSSELL said that there were many articles of manufacture on which it was proposed to put a duty of 10 per cent ; that was all well enough as long as the corn -law lasted, but when it terminated in 1849 he could not see the policy or the justice of continuing that duty. Sir It. PEEL thought the proposal he had made was a fair one, and at the end of three years it was perfectly open to reconsider the question as to the remission of the duty. Mr. T. BARING did not think that by the remission of the duty of 10 per cent. the consumer would obtain the article one farthing cheaper. If these duties were to be removed, resort must be had to direct taxation upon increase. Mr. lIUME trusted that the Right Hon. Baronet would look to direct taxation as the principal means of raising the revenue. Sir R. PEEL said that the reductions that had been made last year with respect to the duty on glass and auctions had saved no less than 50,0001. in salaries to officers. It was his intention to move to-morrow for returns with re spect to wool, flax, and several other articles, in order to illustrate the commercial policy of the country. Mr. HUDSON said, if they adopted a principle it must be carried out to its full extent, and with respect to every in terest. The remaining resolutions were then agreed to, and ordered to be reported on Friday. The House then went into Committee of Supply, and certain votee were taken on account of the army and navy, agreeably to the arrangements made in the early part of the evening •_ _ _ The Metropolitan Buildings (Salaries to Officers) Bill was reported. The Metropolitan Buildings (No. 2.) Bill went through Committee, and was ordered to be reported to-morrow. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER brought in the Corn Importation Bill, which was read a first time, and ordered to be read a second time on Monday next. -- The other orders of the day were then disposed of and the House adjourned. Every fresh mail from Germany only brings more dismal accounts than the preceding of the mysterious, sudden, and hopeless insurrection which has broken out in some parts of Poland. Why the present moment should have been fixed upon for such a hazardous undertaking, it is impossible, from our imperfect knowledge of events in that quarter, even to guess ; but, looking to every circumstance known to the public, and more especially to the Mete of the European powers, it would be difficalt to point out any one of the numerous risings that have taken place in that oppressed country that held out such very small hopes of success as the present movement. With the exception of the usual seve rities exercised by Russia in the kingdom of Warsaw, or what till lately bore that name, there does not appear to have been any fresh acts of cruelty on the part of the Emperor NICHOLAS, and it is not as serted, or even insinuated, that either Prussia or Austria in whose portions of the partition territory the revolt has been made, had departed in any respect from the system they have long observed for subjecting the people to their dominion. There is, in fact, no apparent reason for this lamentable event, but on the contrary, all circumstances lead to the conviction that there never 11 as a time so inopportune for throwing off the yoke and defeating the three powers that for more than half a century have been in actual possession, and now regard Poland as much their own as any of their most ancient hereditary dominions. These powers have all large standing armies, ab solutely idle (with the exception of the war of the Caucausus giving employment to a part of the Russian forces), they are on the best terms with each other, they have a common interest in the subjugation of Poland, and would exert their whole force against any power whatever that would attempt to interfere, And from what European power can the Poles expect aid? France, independent of the pacific disposition of the KING, is crippled by her African wars ; England is engaged in a serious war in the East, and may, in a brief period, have another still more serious iu the West ; remon strances and protests can do nothing ; they were of no avail in 1772 when the first great crime in the partition of Poland was committed, for the Courts of London, and Paris, and Stockholm, and Copenhagen, then remonstrated, but CATHERINE only laughed at their remonstrances, and went on more intent in her purpose with the other predatory Sovereigns, to blot out for ever from the snap of Europe a country that once had rendered the most invaluable services to Christensiom. But even there is no time for England and France to do anything. Posen is only some hundred and fifty miles from Bei lin, Cracow, two hundred from Vienna, War saw is under the iron grasp of Russia, and what can all the nobles of the country, even if they were unanimous, or an unarmed peasantry, still enslaved to these very nobles, do against such fearful odds ? According to ac counts Generalm un c it o i l o a n i , a,ahavingarms andfrom detachment. only Thetilr three e rov c i a s n io ln Government, nevertheless, continues to —monks, old men and boys, helpenrol men and priests even women arc.. said to have to swell , their ranks, and taken been careering through th e streetson hsebackup arms, and P r ovisional Government has proclaimed or The the abolition h of servitude, declared that prope r t y s h a l l s pected and order maintained, and delivers asorts e re to all who wish to leave t h e territory. Ent passport to all for the abolition of servitude comes too late. Ser vitude has too long prevailed; the spirit of liberty was found chiefly among the higher classes and the Polish army, and that army is now broken up, parcelled among the troops of the dominant powers, or banished to distant lands, to keep in subjection other nations who know as little of the blessings of freedom as the unhappy Poles. ere is not the slightest hope that the insurrection in the Prussian and Austrian States will last for ten days, and Russia is taking care that the insurgents in these states shall have no assistance from Warsaw. "Prince PASKIL wrrscH," a letter states, " had given orders for numerous arrests at Warsaw and in other parts of Poland. The people of Warsaw are in a state of apprehension difficult to de scribe. Every one seems to be still under the impression of the terrible threats issued by the EMPEROR to the municipa lity in 1843. The troops are confined to their barracks, and sleep in their uniforms with their arms by their sides." We can, therefore, expect nothing from Poland but accounts of disasters and defeats, of arrests and perpetual banishment, and endless executions; and what renders even these still more distressing is the fact, that this partial outbreak will only afford the oppressors additional reasons for binding more strongly the fetters of this gallant people. BONAPARTE committed many great crimes, and many political blunders ; but one of his greatest was his cruel and ungrateful treatment of Po!and. A word of his could have made Poland free, and established her as a bar rier against Russia, but for temporary advantages he yielded to the solicitations of Austria and Prussia, and left the country of PONIATOWSKI, who served him so well, still the lead of slaves. Thanks to that feeling of utter hopelessness which inva riably succeeds desperation, nu protectionists are at length, to all appearance, becoming cognizant of their true position. They have thrown their poisoned but innocuous javelins about like madmen—their quiver is exhausted—they are subsiding into sullenness, if not into resignation. For their sakes, for the country's, for the Ministers, we are rejoiced at this alteration in their behaviour. By a pertinacious silence they may yet redeem themselves in the estimation of the people. Indeed, so satisfied are we with the unwonted expedition of Friday night's discussion, that we are fain to hope that no further opposition of any real im portance will serve to revive tha obloquy which has been hitherto attached to the agricultural Members, or to retard, in any essential particular, the progress of the Government measures. Un douitedly the amendment introduced by Mr. W. 0. I,;:riatnnr, that" in lien of the duties now payable on the importation of corn, grain, meal, sr flour, the product of foreign eouutries, there shall be paid a fixed duty of ss. per quarter upon wheat, 2s. 6d. upon barley, and 2s. upon oats ; meal and flour in proportion ;" and the proposition made by Mr. M. MILNES, that all words in the resolution respecting the impor tation of corn, referring to the ,cessation or alteration of duties to be paid in the year 1849, be omit ted, were both of them vexatious amendments enough in themselves. But so rapidly were they rejected, and so speedily did the representatives enter into a more practical consideration of the Acts propounded by Sir ROBERT, that no time is allowed us for regret. We are filled only with a sense of sincere gratification at the quick settlement of the Cern and Customs question which the present Par liamentary spirit seems to prefigure. Maize and buck -wheat and rice were severally disposed of on Friday evening; the resolutions relating to grain were put, agreed to, and ordered to Ire severtett ; and alt thee, *we simian to be a general disposition to expedite matters, as much and as universally as routine will permit. This is precisely as things should be : the merits and demerits of the proposed alterations have been debated fully and thoroughly; it only remains now to deliver in votes with all quietude and propriety. We re member that, somewhere about the middle of the great twelve Right's discussion, Mr. DISRAELI demanded the generous leniency of Parliament to " a fallen party," in other words, he requested the patient attention of the majority while that fallen party uttered their " stale, flat, and unprofitable" fribbles. That leniency, that patience has been shown in an extraordinary degree by Parliament, as well as by the spec tators out of doors. The various Sexcuo Pas;zAs of protec tion have strutted forth before their brother representatives, talking very largely, indeed, about their " subjects "—those subjects being, in fact, like the subjects of SAncno, abso lutely—nothing. They have repeated and re-repeated each other's observations over and over again, both to their own and everybody else'ssatiety. They have read long extracts (always irrelevant to the matter under examination) from }Hansard; they have blundered over the simplest rules of arithmetic, and drawled out lines of miserably hackneyed verse, and yet, notwithstanding all these provo cations of disgust, and incitements to impatience, the free-trade legislators and the free-trade populace have submitted quietly to the infliction : they have listened to everything uttered by those dismal gentlemen with the most heroic self-command. For this concession the protectionists should feel some sentiments (however small) of gratitude : they should, in all honest seriousness, perceive the temporary self-sacrifice made by the country and the Legislature in sheer compassion for their own short-sightedness. Thanks, however, to the fact that nothing sublunary can last for ever, the agricul tural cry has been gradually dying away into a fitful and smothered whisper. Though SHAILSPERE has kindly informed us that " the cat will mew, the dog will have his day," we invariably derive a solace from that announcement, in its very esteasible sequitur, that sooner or later, that " mew " and "day" must both termi nate. Precisely does this comforting consideration tally with the outburst of Mr. Muss and his followers: — the squirrel has revolved round and round in its monotonous and harmless course—the noffensive creature is exhausted by its own exertions—the barrel-cage stops, and the little animal is at rest. This is exactly the career of the' protectionist agitation epitomized. It may start forth again for a moment, to amuse the spectators by its super fluous evolutioas; but, for all practical purposes, monopoly is concluded henceforth. Let his Grace of RICHMOND raise a monument to its memory ; let the Member for Bristol deliver Its funeral oration; the epitaph might be judiciously resigned to the hand and the imagination of Mr. BENJAMIN DIfiIIAELL We understand that a public meeting is to be held this evening, at Investigation Hall, Circus•street, New road, to receive the Report of the Deputation of the Ratepayers of Marylebone to the Vestry of that parish, on behalf of the unemployed and destitute poor, and to con sider the necessity of establishing a Poor Man's Guardian So ciety. Our readers are aware that for some time past differences have existed between the Marylebone Vestry and the Poor-law Commissioners on the subject of the erection of district asylums for the houseless poor. The deputation alluded to, while agreeing with the Vestry in their resistance to the orders of the Poor-law Commissioners, consider that the erection of some asylum for the houseless poor is neces sary, and have presented a memorial to the Vestry to that effect, the answer to which will be read at the meeting. The object of the establishment of a Poor Man's Guardian Society is to secure to the poor man those rights which are already guaranteed to him by law, so as to insure the hu mane dispensation of parochial relief, and to protect the unemployed poor against the exercise of harsh and oppressive conduct. The recent " bone-crushing" re velations afford ample proof that some such so ciety is wanted for the protection of the poor. We doubt not but that the meeting will be well attended, but we would particularly impress upon the poor themselves the necessity of being present. They can render most useful assistance in the formation of the Guardian Society; and, moreover, they will be enabled to obtain distinct and accu rate information as to the rights which the law gives them, a matter on which at present we fear too many of them are wofully ignorant. We have received Madrid journals of the Ist inst. In the Chamber of Deputies, on the preceding day, Senor Moir, the late Finance Minister, spoke against several measures introduced by the new Ministry, and more especially against the Bill relative to public worship and the clergy, which he considered caculated to prevent a settlement of the differ ences with Rome. There is evidently now a strong Opposition party in the Chamber, encouraged by NARVAEZ and the QUEEN-MOTHER. Nearly all private accounts agree in stating that the Ministry cannot last, and that these two arch-intriguers will never rest till they have a Ministry entirely obedient to their will. On the 28th ult. the Three per Cents. closed at 30 for cash, and 30;4 at GO days; and the Fire per Cents. at 21 at GO days. The Paris papers are much occupied with the affairs of Poland, and several of them have articles also on the Oregon question. On the latter subject they in general do justice to the pacific views of England, which, indeed, cannot pos sibly be doubted. The Courrier Francais, not over friendly to this country, states the case very fairly, if we except the last paragraph. "Will England and the American Union de cide on running the disastrous chances of a war, in order to en sure the possession of the territory in dispute? Such is the question now placed before the tribunal of public opinion at both sides of the Atlantic. We are happy to say that this tribunal is essentially pacific and conciliatory. In the United States, all the moderate men, and let us add, all honest ones, wish for peace. It appears to them exorbitant to refuse to England all right to the possession of a part of the Oregon, when this right has been formerly recognised by the Government of the Union. They cannot comprehend how that which was yesterday admitted as an unanswerable claim, should be rejected to-day as a vain pretension; and they do not hesitate to blame that rapacious and boundless ambition which induces the American Government to refuse all arrangement, and to demand the whole of the Oregon. In England public opinion is decidedly in favour of peace, first, because the Oregon would be too dearly purchased by a war, and, next, and it is the principal motive, because the reforms proposed in the tariff would be inevitably retarded, and England be obliged to keep up her odious corn-laws, in case of a war. How in fact could financial reforms be effected in a time of war? Yet, however ardent may be on both sides the desire to maintain peace, means must be found to operate an amicable arrangement without hurting the pride of the two nations. This means, it was supposed, would be found in an arbitration. But now that this means is refused' by one of the two parties, what issue remains to the parti-' sans of peace in the two countries? For our part we see but one. We believe that England and the American Union will not succeed in coming to an agreement, except in de ciding to have recourse to the rules of public right, which they have both neglected in this affair. We believe that they will never be able to settle their dispute pacifically but by recognising the insufficiency of their titles to the property of the territory in question, and in consequently leaving to the inhabitants of this territory their independence and the free disposal of themselves." Nearly all the papers express the greatest sympathy for the unfortunate Poles, but what can sympathy do, when there is no means of relief; and the Poles, without looking to the consequences, have placed themselves entirely at the mercy of their oppressors ? We have no details that can be de pended upon later than those published in The San of Satur day, but a few extracts from the paper . s, which will be read with melancholy intereet. The following melancholy ture, which is but too true, appears in the Constitutionnei. After advertin,s , to the different fruitlesi attempts made by Poland to recover her independence, it adds : " Europe presents a sad spectacle. From the extremity of Italy to Warsaw oppressed nations are in movement through despair; and the old Governments employ no other means of imposing obedience than musket-shots, imprisonment, and the executioner. The king dom of Naples and the Roman States have lately witnessed san guinary executions. Lucerne is a vast prison, after having been a field of battle. Russia, Austria, and Prussia advance their soldiers to inveiope the Polish insurrection, and to sprinkle with a generous blood the divided provinces. Such are the results of the pretended Conservative policy which prevaili in Europe. The Governments, a moment frightened by the popular movements produced by the revolution of leae, soon re covered their peace of mind when the revolt was put down. They forgot that intestine wars are never terminated by fore, and that in this sense there never are decisive victories. Arrangements alone reconcile nations that have risen, even with a triumphant power. To govern is to enter into arrangements. But the European Govern ments, wAlt the exception perhaps of Prussia, appear more opposed than ever to all arrangement. Everywhere despotism has be come more oppressive and more intolerant. Rome, far from keeping her promises, still recent, demands the extradition of those unfortunate men that aimed at obtaining a moderate liberty ; the Jesuits divide Switzerland; Austria sends to the Pontifical Go vernment counsels of despotism, and to the ultra-montane party of Switzerland counsels of reaction ; the Emperor of Russia has waged war, not only on the remnants of the Polish nation, but on family affections, remembrances, creeds, and consciences. Tim French Government, which represented on the Continent liberal and moderate ideas, and which ought to defend them, has com pletely abandoned its mission. It has become conservative, ultra montane, reactive, as it is possible to be in France. It makes com mon cause with the European conservatives, who refuse all arrange ments, and struggle against all progress, Is it surprising that under the influence of this policy, often oppressive, always unintelligent, several states of Germany are in movement for religious or political foetus ; that the Italians and the Poles encounter death to escape from an insupportable tyranny ; and that Switzerland Is perpetually tom by civil war? In Poland much blood is about to be shed. Do the old Governments, which are about to spill it, believe that they will there drown liberty, and that they will be dispensed with entering some day into arrangments with her?" " 1t hatever :nay be the result of this insurrection (says the Na tional), all Europe will deem it holy, heroic, sublime. Martyrs may be made, but there will be no criminals. All those who, do honour to a ievoted love of country—all those who bear hatred to savage despotism►—will grant their warmest sympathies to those noble strufglee of a people whom overpowering numbers may crush, whom violence may decimate, but who will over confine to protest againt the wrongs done to them ; who, though beaten down and bleeding, will still look in proud disdain upon those protended free Governments who cowardly look on and see a noble nation mas sacred." _ The Courier Francais calls upon England and France to interfere:— . - . "Already attempts are made to disseminate calumny in order to divert the interest which the freemen of Europe must take in the people who hove been so cruelly persecuted, oppressed, and dismem bered, but whose vitality has resisted all the gets of tyranny exer cised upon it. Endeavours have been made by perfidious translations to pervent into Communism a proclamation, which the formal de Frankfort, that Russian organ, renders more justly : ' The Bucklers have not been raised, either in thenamo of a Wigton or in the name of any political opinion, but in the name of the freedom of Poland.' Can it be believed that if Communism was in view, the insurneuts would call tbr a Constitutional King? Can it be believed that Prussia would look upon this movement with so little disquietude ? Can it be be hoved that this uprising would have become general from the Baltic to the Black Sea? Do not calumniate a whole nation, in order that you may create an excuse fur br eaking the solemn engagements which you have entered Into to support it ! Are you already seeking pretexts for not performing your solemn obligations towards it? Pretexts I Where you find communism, others will find a republic—saute will And danger to absolutism, and this people, to whom you have pro mised protection and succour in the hoer of butt* will Perish from year defeetion ! Pretexts ! You may find a thousand petty excuses for not acting—but for acting there is one sovereign reason—the liberty of Poland ! Make your election, but do not calumniate ! If this nation must perish, let it at least fall to all the integrity of its heroism ! You tell us, further, that this universal rise in Poland bad no con sisteney—no chance of success You, flue boasters of generosity and heroism, would no doubt grant the Poles aid and protection if they had no need of you. Whether the y triumph or fall. you will not have been the less guilty—you will not the less ha 'e been traitors to your declarations—to your oaths. Twenty millions of men await their deliverance. Prance and England, who are inter ested in this formation of a constitutional nation, have only - to move a step, and Poland would live. Will France and England wait until Poland shall be crushed between the two tyrannies that press it down—A ustria and Russia?" The following ale miscellaneous extracts from the papers:— " The Tot tonnal4 states •that one of the Princes of Saxe-Coburg will accompany the Duke d'Aumale to Algeria. The report that the Duke de Montpensier was to accompany his brother is, says the ToulonnaLs, unfounded. The Albatross is to convey the two Princes to Algiers. _ . . " The Courrikr Francais has opened a subscription for the insur gents of Cracow, and placed Itself at the head for 200 f. It has been announced that the Bishop of Guesen, M. Dombrowski, has been arrested. The name of this prelate is Brodziszewski, and he has not bGen arrested ; but we learn that a young Polish noble man, Count Dombrewski, son of the illustrious general of that name, who commanded the Polish legions in Italy, has been arrested and placed an secret. The arrests already made in Gallicia and in the Duchy of Posen amount, it is said, to more than one thousand, all belonging to the nobility and clergy. " The Unieers states that it has received intelligence from a cor respondent that two regiments of the Austrian army, but camposed entirely of Poles, stationed in Gallicia, have joined the insurgents. Of all the chiefs of the revolution of 1830, the only one named as having taken a lead in this new movement is General JosephSzembek. " The Cologne Gazelle, of the sth, states that on the 27th ult. the rebels of Cracow were masters of the surrounding country to the dis tance of fifteen German miles, but it appears by a letter from Vienna of the 28th, that the Austrian force concentrated at Wadowize was daily receiving reinforcements, and would be in a state to resume the offensive by the Bth.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. TATTERSALL'S.-YESTERDAY. The Chester Cup betting derived its importance from the advent of Clumsy, one of the Goodwood lot, and the strong feeling displayed in favour of Hope and Miss Burns. Of the three Clumsy, who rose from 50 to 1 to 1,000 to 30, and was in immense force, was decidedly the greatest " pot ;" the Baron was also in some demand, but the movements gene rally, apart from those alluded to, were unimportant; the favourites were scarcely mentioned.

LEICESTER TRADE,....The spring trade is commencing, but somewhat languishingly, in consequence of the protracted debate on the corn-laws, which keeps everybody in suspense. Purchases in the general trade are small, and the news from America is necessarily operating adversely to employment, manufacturers not being disposed to make for that market in anticipation. The prospects for the continental trade are also somewhat dull Prices of wools and yarns remain firm, and there appears to be no probability of a decline.— Leicester Mercury. A contemporary speaks of seeping on a fence rail with two pude of tape for a eovering. ° Some people's an , iwma ai s are rattler short, 'Miro —Amerkan paper. . . The English brewery of Aies'ars. Feaver and Co., at St. Mali, was nearly destroyed by fire on the night of the let inst. The lees is estimated at 65,000 francs, but the property was insured. THE LATE OUTRAGE AT DEPTFORD —On Satur , ?ay morning, at Southwark Police -court, information was brought to the magistrate that the policeman, James Hastie, of the It division, had died at G u y's Hospital from the injuries in flicted on him at Deptford. The unfortunate man was so dreadfully wounded that ho has been quite incapable of giving any intelligent account of the affray which caused his death. It appears tkat about a week previous to the affair he had taken two or three men into custody for creating a disturbance near the spot, where he was afterwards attacked. The men were fined at the time, and it seems that this act excited revenge f u l f ee li ngs a ga inst him, and that his late assailants were, i n some wa y, mixed up with the pre vious affair, and h a d on t h a t a ccount attacked him. He was a stout, hale man, about 35 years of age, and kai since 24gd raqa ieyerely. M r . Payne, the coroner, has ap d Welly for holding. the inquest. --Observer.

At the Jamaica Coffee- house regular files of the West India papers have been received this morning. The Morning Journal of Jamaica states:— " That the Coolie emigration to the Mauritius, if it has not already amounted to an absolute failure, has inflicted injury upon that colony, and is likely to lead to much more." Front accoents that have reached us, we are very much in clined to believe that something like jealousy dictated the remarks quoted just now, as it is well known that the hill Coolies prefer emigrating to the Mauritius, rather than to the West Indies. The Jamaica planters have taken mean?, it is stated, of obtaining labourers from the Madeiree. 0 For," says the paper already quoted, " every Coolie brought into Jamaica will cost us at least twice as much for importation and reconveyance back to India as the Mauritius have to pay for theirs. And will any one pretend to say that at the end of the given number of years v,.e shall find ourseivee, with reference to insufficiency of labour, useless expenditure and debt, in precisely the eatna condition as the people of the Mauritius. To the importa tion of a certain number of Coolies we stand pledged; and so far we must incur useless expense!' These remarks probably are made upon the pretty well ascertained fact that the new free population of the West Indies have taken a lesson of industry and perseverance out of the "book" of the Coolies, and are more ready to work than heretofore. They don't like to see "foreigners," as they are called, taking away so much money for their labour. The Funds have fluctuated but slightly to-day. The Con sols for the Account have varied only from 95% to 95%, and for Transfer from 95 to 95%.

We have to direct attention to the means for detect ing the adulteration of musk, by the aid of the micros cope, and for wh ch we are indebted to Dr. Neligan, the lecturer on nteteria medico in the Dublin medical school. This gentleman states, that owing to the high 1)1 ice and great demand for musk, which, as is now generally very well known, is the secretions from the male musk animal, the moschus moschiferus, and it is generally imported into the British market from China, in the natural bags of the animal, by wholesale London drug gists, by whom it is retailed to the trade, many of whom, finding it very much adulterated, prefer purchasing the unopened bag ; this precaution, however, is often found not a sufficient protection against fraud, as spurious musk bags are very common, and so well prepared by the ingenious Chinaman, that even the most experienced eye is often unable to distinguish the true from the false; it appears that the Chinese, finding a greater demand for musk than they are able to supply with the genuine article, squeeze out some of the secretion, which is fluid In the recent state, and mix it with, it is believed, the dried blood of the animal ; this compound, which pre sents the same physical character as true musk, they put into small sacks made of pieces of the skin cut oil* from other parts of the animal's body, and prepared with the usual ingenuity of this people, so much so, indeed, as almost to defy detection with the naked eye. The method hitherto adopted for detecting this sophis tication, has been the peculiar position of the hairs, which are arranged in a circular manner around the orifice in the genuine musk pod. The means which are now proposed to detect the fraud depend on the mic.os copic character of the hairs which grow on the sac of the musk animal, and which differs very remarkably from those of the false sacs which are met with in com merce. Oa placing hairs from both under the micros cope, it will be seen that those from the natural sac of the animal are furnished in the interior with distinct, regular, colour cells, while in hairs taken from other parts of the animal's body those cells appear ti be ob literated, as is generally the case, in this and the allied tribes of animals. The method above proposed to detect imposition is a very simple one, and of easy appli cation now that every pharmaceutist is supposed to be provided with a microscope, without which he could not possibly detect the adulteration of arrow -root and of the other feculas of commerce. REDCLIFF gives us pleasure to learn that the noble church of St. Mary Radcliff has been thrown open fir inspection to the public; and that, by order of the vicar and churchwardens, the attendants are not allowed ?J receive any fee for admission, upon pain of dismissal. The lovers of " sublime and beautiful" in art, and the connoisseurs in ecclesiastical architecture, have thus an opportunity of visiting an edifice pronounced by her Majesty Queen Elizabeth to be "one of the most famous, absolute, fairest, and goodliest parish churches within the realm of 'England." The room where Chatterton affirmed that he discovered the Rowleian M.S S , and indeed all portions of the edifice, are open to in spection, with the exception of the tower and spire, which, from their dilapidated state, it is dangerous to ascend. At the same time we may remark that those who visit the church, and who will probably be struck with a feeling of sorrow at witnessing the breaches which time has made in the sacred edifice, will have en opportunity afforded them of voluntarily contributing, according to their means, to its repair. The churchwardens, committee, and all who have taken part in the restoration of Redcliff-church, deserve great credit for the zealous and indefatigable manner in which they have laboured to effect that object ; and the throwing open the church to the public is in harmony with the spirit which has throughout animated their proceedings.—Bristol Mercury. MAGAZINES-CONTINUED ECLECTIC REVIEW. We congratulate the entrepreneur of this publication upon the improvementwhich is manifest in the new series of the Eclectic Review. There is more variety in the present number than possibly in any one of its pre decessors ; and each theme is treated in a manner the most appropriate to itself. A glance at the table of contents will assure any one of our veracity in uttering the former opinion : a peep into the articles themselves will confirm the latter. As possibly the most valuable papers in the collection, we may partica'arly mention an elaborate analysis of M'Culloch s views respecting taxa tion, and a still more elaborate inveqizatioll a, tq Celtic Church in Irel4r4 Ver the eritlcism, or rather eulogium, upon Thomas Hood's poetry Rs staunch admirers of that lamented philanthropist, return the writer our twknnwipdgmen;,s.

Resolved, we presume, to take some bold subject under examination, the editor of thi:.3 new , miscellany has in troduced into its pages a " Hibtory of Science." The title, of itself, is a blast of trumpets ; it commands our attention, and not without some profit (thouzb there is room for more) to our elves, Wo recommend the writer to persevere; ho has hit upon a noble theme for disquisition. " George Herbert" is a mere paraphrase from Izaak Walton's life of that excellent worthy; but the sunny flavour of the "gentle craft"-sman is in this version entirely strained oft The examination of Crom well, as depicted by Carlyle and Guizut, is ingenious enough, but too tame, too prim, tto everything but 'forcible. The remainder of the Eciiitburgh is %ariously good, but, as a whole, it is deserving of success. POLITICAL DICTIONARY. Part 11. Second Half. This valuable book of reference is fast approaching to a conclusion. The first article in this part is " Parent and Cbild," the last " Physicians." The articles " Parliament," "Partnership," and "Patent," are most elaborately written, and contain a complete resume of the present state of the law on those important subjects. THE AMERICAN JOURNAL. We welcome this transatlantic periodical (of which the number before us, dated January, 1846, is the first of the second series), recognising, as we do, in its re-com mencement very considerable research, and no little novelty, in the way of condensing much erudition into a comparatively small compass. The " Journal," pub lished at Newhaven, and conducted by a triumvirate (Professor Silliman, B. Silliman, jun., and James D. Dana), is devoted exclusively to matters of science and art ; and even in this portion alone, we percieve much care in the general arrangements. Under the head of scientific intelligence, the chemical, mineralogical, geo logical, zoological, and botanical departments are all complete. Remembering the extraordinary experiments now being made by Professor Farraday, in relation to electricity and light, the article on " Observations of the Solar Rays" is but a mote to a beam. But the " Review of the New York Geological Reports," illustrated by a variety of woodcuts, is of itself worth double the price of the entire magazine. Altogether, the . American Journal reflects honour on its conductors. THE UNION MAGAZINE. The Union has fairly conquered its place, and may now he considered as one of the established monthlies. The present number is fully equal to its predecessors, and the Union is still favourably characterised from many of its rivali by that great charm of a magazine, variety. The article on Carlyle's " Hero Worship" is concluded, and our friend " The Ilindoo Gentleman" gives us an admirable description of a railroad journey into the country, and of a hunting expedition. The tale of " William Fleming, the Deal Boatman," increases in interest as it proceeds, and promises to be an ex cellent novel. The continuation of " The Quarantine Tales" is also excellent. We have a very valuable paper on Venice, exhibiting profound and philosophical views of history, and tracing the causes of the fall of that proud State to the vices inherent in her constitution. The able article on the corn-laws (which is replete with valuable statistical details) is finished in this number, and the author thus sums up his conclusions on this most im portant subject—conclusions, be it said, which are fully borne out by the facts which he adduces in support of them:— "On the whole, therefore, we see no reason whatever to believe that the average quantity of wheat imported for some years to come, if prices should continue only from 40a to 50s. the quarter, will much exceed the average of the last ten years, and certainly not the quantity estimated in the Consular returns which we have quoted. We do not believe it will be possible under usual circumstances, unless indeed prices should rise to a very extravagant rate, to obtain for the next ten years a greater average importation of wheat than 2,000,000 quarters annually, a quantity capable only of fouling the increased numbers which have been added to our population since 1841 11 "Finally, we cannot believe, if all these views of this im portant question are calmly and deliberately weighed—if men will consider the great importance to the general inte rests, and most of all, as we have shown to the agricultural clasees, that our rapidly increasing p pulation should be pro vided with new branches of employment; if all will consider how much they have to gain, how little to fear, from the establishment of a system of free and unfettered commercial intercouse, and preservation from constantly recurring periodical derangement of our monitorial matters, and the whole system of commercial credit—in which all interest are deeply and injuriously involved ;—we cannot believe, but that the measures now before ParliamLnt will be hailed as the only safe policy by which this country can for the future be governed. All experience of the past, and all reasoning upon the future, equally recommend its immediate and un hesitating adoption."

From the Art• Union of this month we extract the following notice of the _ " SPOLIATION °ETRE STATUE OF CHARLES I. AT CHARING CROSS.—This interesting work of art, which has been so long one of the chief ornaments of the metropolis, has been wil fully despoiled of the sword which hung from the girdle cf the monarch. The loss was first noticed by Sir S. R. Mey rick, and was communicated to the Briti3h Archzealogi cal Association by T. Crofton Croker, Esq., and since then to her Majesty's Commissioners. It is not yet known by whom the robbery was ellected or when it was done, but it is believed to have been on the day when her Majesty visited the City. It is much to be regretted that this interesting figure, which has sto d so many years here unspoiled, should now be so wantonly injured. This statue has passed through many vicissitudes; it was made by Hubert le Socur, in 1633, and was sold by the Parliament to John Rivet, a brazier, with strict crders to melt it; he, however, concealed it until the restoration of Charles 11., when it was erected in its present site. From a notice in Fellowes's Historical Sketches of Charles L' (1828), it appears that the sword and appendages had fallen from the statue some years before (he does not date his quotation). He says, they weie picked up by a man of the name of 2loxam, at the Golden Cross, and deposited in the care of Mr. Eyre, the trunk-maker, who apprised the Board of Green Cloth of the circumstance.' " We would fain hope that the loss of the sword on the present occason is to be attributed to a similar accident to that noticed by Fellow-es, and that the person in whose possession it may be, will follow the excellent example of the " man of the name of Moxarn" (all honour to his memory), and restore them. If the loss is the result of a robbery, it says but little for the vigilance of the Me tropolitan Police, who would be much better employed in guarding our public monuments from spoliation than in persecuting itinerant fruit venders, and preventing them from getting an honest livelihood by the sale of their wares.

The frontispiece is a coloured engraving of the Statue of Charles I. at Charing-cross. SINGULAR CASE, AND AN IMPORTANT ONE TO EM PLOYERS —On Monday last, at the Borough Court, Stockport, Mr. W Whitelegg, cotton manufacturer, was summoned by one of his weavers, named James Bradley, fur 2s. Gd. wages alleged to be owing to him. Mr. Mellor, the manager, stated that the complainant had left his work without notice. He had enlisted in the 76th Regiment, and there fore, according to the rules of all the mills, his wages were furfeited.—The father of the youth said he had a certificate from the captain of the regiment, empowering bins to apply for the wages. The Bench thought that the mill rules were applicable in this case.—Ar. Alderman Andrew said he had attested the, enlistment of Bradley, and had been applied to under the 73d section of the Bth and 9:11 Vic., cap. 8, to make an order upon Mr. Whitelegg for the 2s. 6d. He had accordingly made that order; and the father had applied for the money, and had been refased.—The clerk, referring to the Act of Parliament, said there was a law enforcing the payment of wages due to a recruit. It was in the last Mutiny Act, passed 24th of April, 1845, and was as follows ;—" That it should be law ful for the justice before whom any recruit shall be attested, before the expiration of the Lxin of service for which he had been hired by his master, adjudge to such recruit a reasonable proportion of his wages for the time be has actually served; and the said justice shall make an order for the payment of the amount so awarded, and in case of neglect or refusal to pay the same within four days, shall issue his warrant for levying the same by distress and sale of the goods and chattels of his master." The magis trates expressed their surprise at the existence of so strin gent a law; and Mellor, the manager, said, if he had known of that law, he would have paid the 2s. Gd. without a sum mons. The cleric explained that it was necessary to issue a summons, for, on refusal, a warrant of distress would follow for the wages, if not paid in four days from the application and production of certificate of attestation. The 2s. 6d. and costs was then paid forthwith.—Manchester Guardian. [ADVERTISEMENT.] —EXTRAORDINARY CURES OF DRONT By isoLtowAY's rms.—Emma Williams, a servant living o w f it s h u 3 ch irs a .
