Imagination cannot paint—earth has no language to ex.- pr?ss---the punishment due to that wrctch, who, riot con tent with blasting that once happy country with the scorching breath of war and desolation ; who, not content with gloating on the Widow's tear, and the expiring sigh of the exiled patriot in his banishment, and the captive in his dungeon ; who, not content with that amount of crime, ore unit of which were enough to brand a legion of such mis creants with infamy, has declared to indignant Europe that Poland shall be blotted from the book of nations—that her language and her name shall exist no more. " Oh, righteous Heaven! ere Freedom found a grave, Where slept thy sword omnipotent to save?" But no it cannot be—a moral earthquake will rouse Europe from her lethargy—the tyrant will be baffled, and Poland will be free."—(L , ud cheers.) The MAYort then put the resolution from the Chair, and it was carried unanimously. OFFICE OF DANISH CLAIMS, 5, WHITEHALL-PLACE, LONDON, 291'11 DECEMBfiIt, 1837.

WITH Will No. 14,133 LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 29, 1837. PRICE sd. TRANSFER OF REAL PROPERTY, BY PRIVATE CONTRACT AND PUBLIC AUCTION. Mil. RAINY respectfully begs leave to acquaint the Nobility, Gentry, and the Public that he proposes, on the commencement of the ensuing year, to ESTABLISH at this Gallery and Office, a GENERAL REGISTER for the TRANS FER of REAL PROPERTY of every description, situate in any part of the United Kingdom, and of the best class of residences in London, tipon a principle, and under regulations which, it is confidently trusted, will claim consideration and attention, especially from the landed interest and wealthier classes; the great object in view being to counteract and destroy quackery, and to suppress th, se practices whick are derogatory, by opposing to them a system of agency conducted with truth, impartiality, and independence calculated, it is hoped, to afford increased facilities to transactions at a considerable saving of expense of time and trouble, and with perfect security to the public. A printed prospectus is in course of circulation, and may now be had at Mr. Rainy's office, 14, on the east side of Regent-street, in the division between Piccadilly and Pall-mall.

AT a MEETING of the WESTMINSTER REFORM SOCIETY, held on Thursday Evening, De cember 28, 1837, at Stannard's Hotel, York-street, Covent Gar den. it was resolved, that a PUBLIC MEETING be convened at the Crown and Anchor Tavern, Strand, to protest against the seri: , s of unconstitutional and tyrannical proceedings of Ministers • towards the people of Canada, to deprecate a war which can bring neither profit nor honour, but which must cause loss and dPgradation to Great Britain ; and to prepare petitions to the Houses of Lords and Commons thereupon. TO THE INHABITANTS OF LONDON. T O prevent the Public being imposed updn by spurious imitations of the PATENT BRANDY, J. T. BETTS and Co. particularly request that they will observe,—that their Brandy is the Only One for which a Patent has been obtained, —the Only One recommended by the Faculty for Medical pur poses,—and the Only One which has stood the test of Chemical analysis : the reports made upon productions which others have submitted to the test, having invariably been such as they have not dared to make public : it is therefore essentially requisite that pur ehasers should be perfectly satisfied with the identity of the article. The Distillery, No. 7, Smithfield-Bars, adjoining the Cattle Market, is the Only Establishment of J. T. BETTS and Co., where the Patent Brandy may be had either pale or coloured; and if required, will be sent free of expense to any part of the Town, in quantities not less than two Gallons, at Eighteen Shillings per Im perial Gallon, of the highest legal strength, for Cash on delivery.

PANCRAS, MIDDLESEX. T a PUBLIC MEETING of the Inhabitants of the said parish, held at the Vestry-rooms on Thursday, the 28th day of December, 1837, JOHN G. CHALK, Esq., Churchwarden, in the Chair, Supported byWM. PICKMAN,Esq., the other Churchwarden. Resolved-1. That the election of Members of the Commons' House of Parliament, by Universal Suffrage, the protection of the voter in the exercise of his franchise by the Ballot, and short dura tion of Parliaments, being necessary to secure cheap and good Go vernment, this meeting has no confidence in any Ministry pro fessing the principles lately avowed by the Ministerial Leader of the House of Commons, Lord John Russell, in declaring his determi nation to take no part in obtaining any of those essential Reforms ; and it is the opinion of this Meet►ng that his Lordship's declaration must henceforward cause him to be regarded as a Tory in disguise, and, therefore, an enemy to popular rights. Resolved-2. That the enormous amount of the Civil List ap plied for by her Majesty's Ministers, and granted by Parliament, being larger than in the two preceding reigns, is a violation of their repealed pledges of economy and retrenchment, tending to encourage the system of Court patronage, corruption, and intrigue, which has long proved so detrimental to the interests of the people. Resolved-3. That the attention and labour devoted by Daniel Whittle Harvey, Esquire, M.P., for so many years, to an exami nation of the Pension List, peculiarly fits him to he a member of any Committee appointed to inquire into that List ; his exclusion, therefore, at the suggestion of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, from the Committee lately appointed by the House of Commons to examine it and report thereon, excites the suspicion that a delusion is attempted to be practised on the people, whose hard earnings, it would seem, are still to be taken for the support of the profligate, the corrupt, the wanton, and the panderer to the vices of the rich and powerful. Resolved-4. That Petitions founded on the foregoing Resolu tions, and praying that Mr. Harvey's name be added to the Com mittee on the Pension List, be signed by the Churchwardens and Vestry Clerk on behalf of this meeting ; and that Sir S. Whalley be requested to present, and B. Hall, Esquire, the other Member for the Borough, be requested to support the same. Resolved-5. That the Resolutions be published in the Morning Chronicle, Morning Advertiser, Times, Morning Herald, The Sun and Globe Newspapers. JOHN M'GAHEY, Vestry Clerk.

REMOVAL OF CATARACT AND BLINDNESS, BY A NOVEL, PAINLESS, and VERY SKILFUL OPERATION. qiIIE following authentic Letter, addressed to a respectable weekly London Paper, on a most successful mode of RESTORING SIGHT, is calculated to afford so much corn fort to every description of persons suffering under cataract, that we think it cannot be too extensively diffused : " TO THE EDITOR OF ITN OBSERVER. " Sir,—l conceive that no apology will be considered necessary for my calling, through your widely circulated journal, the public attention to a point in which humanity is deeply interested, by the reduction of mental distress, and the remedy of almost intolerable evil. I allude to the improved system for the removal of cataract, originated by Mr. Stevenson, of Margaret-street, Cavendish square, Oculist to his late Majesty, &c., and author of the very valuable and popular work on Cataract; a mode of operation fully confirmed in his extensive public and private practice, and sanc tioned by the highest authorities, whereby this important form of blindness is bereft of its horrors, and the scientific operator entitled to the admiration and thanks, not only of the sufferers them:elves, but of the benevolent portion of the community at large. The writer has had an opportunity of becoming acquainted with two recent cases that have been treated .by Mr. Stevenson, and both with the most de cided success. The first, that of a young gentleman, aged six years, who had been born blind. In the hope that scientific means might avail to remedy the defectof vision, an operation was under gone, but to no effect. Mr. Stevenson was at length consulted, and under his treatment the cataract was removed, and the patient obtained his sight. The second case is that of a young woman, who, upwards of two years ago, encountered an accident by which a fork penetrated the eye ; cataract ensued ; surgical advice was exhausted in this instance also before the patient came under the care of Mr. Stevenson, for whom it was reserved to extirpate the superinduced disease, and to restore the afflicted individual from utter darkness in the affected eye to all the blessings of sight. But in this mode of treatment the remit, however excel lent, is not the only thing worth noticing ; the means through which that result is obtained are equally calculated to call forth surprise and pleasure. Hitherto, an operation' has been a word of dread, a note of alarm ; but, by the means alluded to, it is de prived of all its terrors. Simplified to an almost inconceivable degree, it scarcely occupies a minute's duration ; and the patient, at its close, is sensible of so little pain or irritation that he can hardly imagine, save from the effects, that the dreaded eradication of bataract,has been performed. This perfection of surgical skill (for so it undubitably is)—this relief to one of the most bitter evils whereto poor humanity is amenable—has hitherto been too little understood or known. If I should become an organ for the diffu sion of such really useful knowledge,' it will afford the highest gratification to, Sir, your obedient servant, J. 0., 2, Welbeck street, Cavendish-square.--Nov. 24, 1837." _ COUNTRY CORN MARKETS DURING THE WEEK.

Wide and devastating as has been the destruction caused by this terrific fire, yet on making a survey of the surrounding properties, and penetrating where possible into the ruins dur ing yesterday afternoon, it was a general matter of surprise among those conversant with these matters that in so crowded a neighbourhood, and stored so fully with combustible mate rials, the firemen should have been able to have arrested the fire without its doing infinitely more damage. On this occa sion the two floating engines belonging to the London Fire Establishment, rendered immense services. By the new float ing engines the fire was prevented passing westward of Davis's upper wharf to the contiguous wharfs of Goulding and Brown, in which were contained large stores of all kinds of merehan dize. On Brown's wharf was lying 1,200 casks of tallow, with many other highly inflammable commodities. To the east of the upper wharf, the fire was checked by the old flaat ing engine, assisted by the floating engines of the St. Katha rine's and the London-dock Companies. The floats also proved of great service in saving the tiers of adjacent shipping, which, from the furious blaze, and the frequent falling of burn ing materials, were often in danger. At the time the fire broke out the tide had been ebbing some time, so that the three brigs lying off the wharf had got fixed in the mud, or the firemen would have got them into deep water, and there, if necessary, have scuttled them. The destroyed property consisted as follows :—first, of a large wharf and buildings known as Davis's Upper Wharf. At the back of the wharf is a narrow water-side street called Piekle-herring,,,weet, and on the side of this street, opposite 'the wharf, eaten - 34 lon► - fi eoritaieheeseaashgtenaries these were bounded to the west by Potter's-fields, and after running back a great depth were separated in the rear by a narrow private carriage way, which, turning out of Potter's fields by the public-house known as the Phmnix and Crown, passed round the block of buildings, and led out into Pickle herring -street, to the east of the upper wharf. The whole of the premises comprehended within this wide area is burnt with all their contents. There are very extensive naval stores belonging to Messrs. Flockton and Co., only separated by the private carriage-way from the destroyed oil and turpentine stores, and th preservation of these is truly wonderful. The exertions of the firemen were most praiseworthy. The scal ing ladders were raised in all directions, and the roofs and side-walls cut into and brought down so as to smother and keep down the intensity of the flames. Immense crowds were collected on the occasion, not only around the spot, but also on the bridges, and on the opposite sides of the river, and the river for a great distance around was crowded with spectators in boats, thus affording a brief harvest to the poor watermen. A gentleman of the name of Baddeley. appears to have been among the first to discover the fire. He states, that he was watching the rising of the sun from the top of Messrs. Riddle and Co.'s patent pencil manufactory in the Black friars-road, when, amid the rich red hues that overspread the eastern horizon, he perceived a remarkably distinct speck of greater redness. He felt convinced it was produced by a fire, and hurried to Southwark-bridge, where his opinion was confirmed, and calling the engine-keepers at the adjacent sta tion he accompanied them to the scene of the fire, which, by the time the engine could reach the spot presented a most magni ficant spectacle. Potters-fields, Pickle-herring-street, and the private carriage way were covered with a surface of blazing oil and turpentine, having an appearance such as Mr. Baddeley says he never before witnessed ; it seemed as if the stones were pierced with innumerable holes, through which jets of bright gas flame were perpetually issuing. So copious was the flow of oil and turpentine, that as fast as the water plugs were opened they poured down, and the firemen found their exertions half baffled, as the.strearns that for some' time were thrown on the Sre consisted of oil and spirits mixed with the water. The fire was understood to have been occasioned by an ac cident in the oil and turpentine stores of Messrs. Curling and Co. The men had gone to work as early as four o'clock in the morning, and were lowering tiers of casks, mostly of tur pentine, having candles by which to see to work. By some mischance a cask was burst, and the place was instantly in a blaze. The men were compelled to hastily rush out of the building, to save themselves. The following is the official return made by the London Fire Establishments of the damage and insurances, as far as could be ascertained up to seven o'clock last night : Messrs. Curling and Co., wharfingers, holding the exten sive property known as Davis's Upper Wharf.—Both the land and water side premises destroyed. Insurances on the buildings, Sun, 5,2001. ; Pimeaix, 5,2001. ; Guardian, 5,2001.; on goods generally in the Imperial, 4,0001., and a specific in surance on wool in the same office of 1,0001., and another on bark for 1,000/. in the Guardian. Goulding and Co., granary-keepers.--A warehouse on the land side destroyed, and another at the water side greatly &i -maged. The buildings are insured in the Guardian for 3,0001., and there are insurances in the Sun for stock, the araGunt of which cannot be at present ascertained. Thu Guardian has also an insurance for stack of 1,000/. The vessels destroyed are : The Sally, schooner, from Limerick, laden with potatoes and stone. The Dream, laden with wheat, and was to have sailed in a day or two for Cherbourg. The Victoria, brig, from Newfoundland, laden with oil and stores. The owners of the Victoria are Messrs. Robinson and Co., of Old Broad-street. There were hired and paid on the spot by orders from Mr. Braida ood, the Superintendent of the Fire Establishment, not less, probably, than 1,000 men as auxiliaries. The new float had 90 men employed in working her, the old float was worked by about 70, and each of the floats lent by the St. Ka tharine's and the London Dock Companies required 60 men to man them. To each land engine were 20 to 25 auxiliaries ; so that allowing for relays the total number of men hired and paid could not be less than 1,000. A fire occurred on nearly the same spot about three years and a half ago, when Goulding's wharf was wholly burnt down, and that as Davis's greatly damaged. Mr. NORMAN said it •had devolved on him to move the second resolution. They were met in behalf of the Poles, a brave and chivalrous nation, and it was with the feelings of Englishmen accustomed to consider freedom as their dearest right, they were met to advocate their cause that evening. It should be borne in mind that the Polish nation was neither a modern nor insignificant one. It dated even from the sixth century of our era, and at that early period they were in possession of a large share of liberty and civili zation. Its history ever since had presented a series of troubles endured for the defence of freedom—the greatest of all blessings, without which all others were worth nothing. (Hear.) The object he had in view would be better un derstood by his reading it ,to the meeting first. Having read it Mr. N. proceeded to notice the purposes and con stitution of the London Association, the proper appellation of which was " The Literary Institution of the Friends of Poland?' Its intention was to foster and keep alive a spirit of independence among the exiled Poles. After some further remarks Mr. Norman concluded a neat speech by moving the second resolution. 'Mr. W. J. LITTLE said he could have wished that the task of seconding this resolution had devolved on one better able to do justice to its merits, and having stronger claims on the attention. of the Meeting, But this was a subject in which he conceived no one should be back ward. Indeed, so strongly identified was it with the tOtered - caits:e of liberty, that silence, in his opinion, would be almost criminal.—(Loud cheers.) For there was no nee, he was sure, hying in this free, enlightened, and civilised country, that did not at all times shudder at the idea of cruelty and oppression—there was no one, who gloried in .the name of Briton, and exulted, with becoming pride, in his country's being the garden of liberty and the land of freedom—(Cheers)—that could fail to sympathise in the unmerited wrongs, and commiserate the downfal of Poland.—( Loud cheering.) It was unnecessary for him to give any sketch of the recent history of that unfortunate country ; it was too well known to need any detail from him. Her struggles for independence were too noble and glorious, to have passed unnoticed by the large meeting before him. And though the Government of the day afforded her no countenance or relief in her last great effort for independence, yet the cheers which accompanied her early victories, and which echoed from one part of Poland to the other, were warmly responded to by the English, and re-echoed from the shores of Britain.—(Loud cheer ing.) He could furnish many details and affecting particu lars of the scenes of misery and woe which were mani fested during their last great struggle for freedom ; and he could narrate affecting incidents, showing with what tena city the Polish veterans clung to their kindred and their homes, ere they were transported to the inhospitable re gions of Siberil, there to perish as expatriated exiles— " Unknelled, uneOffined, andr;known 1 " After detailing with equal trUth and eloquence the un fortunate relic of the nation that had found an asylum on our shores, Mr. Little felt satisfied that such a detail would be sufficient to arouse their sympathy. He next al luded to the shocking instance of barbarity that had been exhibited by the Autocrat in exiling all those who had ever wielded the sword in the cause of their country's liberty. in banishing to Siberia the nobles and veterans of Poland. Yes ! (continued Mr. Little) the tyrant felt that he was not safe in his Palace, while a single child of those heroes remained in freedom, while one infant remained who could trace in his line some portion of the blood of Kos ciusko. He knew that though the fathers might have perished, there was not one of those infants, but when he arrived at years of maturity, would pant to revenge his wrongs.—(Cheers.) Mr. 'Little concluded a speech, to which our space prevents us doing justice, by seconding the resolution, observing that if he were called on to display the objects of which their country might most justly boast, he should not point to their nobleharbour, where floated a proud navy, an armament that had gained for England the Empiie of the Sea—he should not point to their great Metropolis, with all its wonders of wealth and luxury, nor to the Flag which had been so often ennobled by Irictory, and stained with the blood of its heroes—but he would rather point to our Institutions for the relief of sickness, and destitution, and misery—to the band of ardent Missionaries who were engaged in spreading the Gospel in every climate of the Earth—from the tropics to the poles—to the labours of a Wilberforce, that led to the -downfall of Colonial slavery-- he would rather point to meetings like the present one, in which were advocated the principles of liberty at home and abroad, which would show the despot of Russia that if Eng land had slept once, she was awakened now, that she had joined in an effort to redeem the sons and daughters of Po land from worse than Egyptian bondage, and would assure the small relic of Polish heroes that those here among us only await the time when they shall join them again —once more to assert the common rights of their countrymen.— (Loud cheers.) lie felt great pleasure in seconding the resolution. Major CAMPBELL said they must bear in mind that the Poles were not suffering now from any political dissension among themselves in their own unhappy country. It was not as if one political party there had risen up and expelled the other—the case was diametrically opposite, they were suffe.itg under a foreign despotism, for Russia was as much a foreign country with regard to Poland, as she would be to England. Unhappily, they had been distracted by their own political disputes, as we were among ourselves, but he hoped that whatever might be the opinion of men as to how this great country was to be governed, yet, if a foreign aggressor arose, Whig, . Radical, and Tory would unite heart and hand to thrust him out. In the House of Commons Daniel O'Connell designated the Autocrat by his proper name, " the Miscreant Nicho las,"—(Cheers)—be responded to the seatinient with.all his heart, and considered " Miscreant" too mild a term for the ruffian, for one, to whom, in the language of a French philosopher, the Abbe La Menne, " it remained to discover a crime before unknown to humanity." He hoped the ob ject of the present meeting would not be lost sight of, that of affording relief to the unhappy Polish Patriots who had come for a refuge to this country. The speaker then se verely censured the Prussian Government, both in regard to its conduct to distressed Poland, and in the recent affair of the Archbishop of Cologne, whom it had dragged from his palace and exiled, because he refused to act in contra diction to the spirit of religious freedom, by performing the ceremony of marriage between Catholics and Protestants, without exacting any pledge as to what religion the children of such marrirges should be brought up in. After again briefly alluding to the proscription of six hundred women, ordered by the Emperor, the gallant Major concluded by expressing his confidence that the appeal of the• Poles would be responded to by the whole nation. N. DOWNS, Esq., in seconding one of the resolutions said—the eloquent address of some of the speakers, and the distressing details which had been placed before them, must. have excited sympathy for their sorrows, as well as a deter mination to assist them to the best of their abilities. It was a subject that came home to the breastof every English man. He thought they were all under great obligations to those gentlemen who had prepared the proceedings, and been the means of calling this meeting. He was glad, te.43, to see that it had been done principally by the young . .nen of the town. He could assure his young friends they had done great honour to themselves ; and they might rely on it, it was an action which to the end of their lives would procure them their own self-esteem. This resolution was then put from the chair and carried. Mr. TRIPE proposed that a Committee of Ladies be formed. It was also decided that the gentlemen who had signed the requisition should form a Committee, of whom five should be a quorum. 'Mr. MAY said he regretted basing been absent, but he could not avoid coming forward at this late hour to second; the motion for the appointment of a Committee of Ladies, for the purpose of affording relief to the distressed Poles. He had had the honour of serving in the Polish ranks. He could testify that the ladies of Poland had not been behind its gallant sons, in their late struggle. It was true that nature had deprived them of the power of carrying arms against the enemy, but on all occasions they had manifested equal zeal and courage, as far as nature had allowed them to display it. In the hospitals of Warsaw, crowded with 12,000 sick and wounded, there were to be seen the ladies — the rich and noble of the land—engaged in administering comfort to the afflicted. In the cause of liberty they also contributed largely to the public coffers, and at last free sacrificed their ornaments of gold tind silver to the ex:gen cies of the State. It was with pleasure he would produce , :to the Poland, w ee h t i i e n h g iti o l f ti t t i e le ar y m o s li l ladies. It was but small. but they were produced in gi eat was coi~,e~t numbers ; we.% one. of the last which poor Poland ever rotintlsitean P ear-ringsd with i~iiglslnc hope that it would no t be the final one ? He stamped with tier national emble m—the White Eagle. .begged to second the proposition. A subscription list was then commenced, and filled up ear the au.iount of 281. before it left the platform. N. DowsrE, Esq., was called to the Chair while a vote of thanks was passed to the Mayor, which was briefly ao knoNNledged, and the assembly disrrsed. THE LIFE AND TIMES OF LOUIS THE FOURTEENTH.

THE POLISH PATRIOTS. (Abridged from the Devonport Independent.) A public meeting in aid of the Polish refugees was held at Devonport on Thursday evening. About half-past sir o'clock, the Mayor, Edward St. Aubyn, Esq., appeared on the platform, accompanied by many of the most influential inhabitants of the town ; and having taken the chair, im- mediately opened the business of the evening, by reading the call of the meeting. After which he said, that having read the requisition, he could not but consider it a gratifying circumstance that the first meeting over which he should have been called to preside, should have been one for assist ing the unfortunate Polish refugees. Many gentlemen were perhaps better qualified for the situation of Chair man, but he yielded to man in his detestation of the tyranny exercised by the Russian Emperor—(Hear, hear) —towards that unfortunate nation. It had been some times made a matter of reproach to them that they were not satisfied with the intentions of the Emperor towards them. He should say it would be extraordinary if they were.—(Cheers.) In his humble opinion there was not a single person present in that hall, but must feel that the conduct of the Russian Despot was one of the greatest blots in the history of the human race. Mr. T. WOOLI.COMBE said he could not commence the few observations he should address to them, without first congratulating the Mayor that the first public occasion on which he should be called on to preside over a meeting of his fellow-citizens, should be one so connected with the best interests of humanity, as one for the expression of the abhorrence they must all feel at the injustice and oppres sion practised towards the Poles. There was no language strong enough to express the execrations of a free-born people against the actions of a despot like the Emperor of Russia. He should not detain them longer, but beg leave to move the first resolution. Mr. L. TRIPE said—Mr. Mayor, Ladies, and Gentle men, your charity is asked on behalf of the poor Pole, who driven an exile from his country has found an asylum in our own, whose brethren are now pining amid the wilds of Siberia, under the tyranny of their remorseless foe, whose Church and whose altars are desecrated by the forms of a faith and worship almost idolatrous, whose language and whose name are alike proscribed. He asks your charity,'antt surely I shall not ask it in vain for him, who—even if he is denied the plea of need—has yet another claim on us, in having fought bravely in the cause of Liberty, and an appeal . made for those who have fought in such. rt cause, I know will find a response in the bosoms of every one present. When the seventeen millions of the Polish people were divided between the three powers of Russia, Prussia, and Austria, Poland, single-handed, resisted the whole of her oppressors ; nothing that heroic devotion could effect against a bloody tyranny, was left untried % assd ever ~ince the disastrous year of that partition, 177 4 tate Pole has wandered an exile banished by tyranny from his native land ; for sixty-three years have they striven to regain their rights, during which period struggle has followed struggle, and revolt has succeeded revolt—but all in vain. The speaker then proceeded to pourtray in a powerful manner the revolting cruelties of which Russia had been guilty towards the Poles, and concluded a long and ani nated speck: pregnant with the eloquence of heart and head, in the following words : " The Czar has just placed the topmost stone on the fabric of his cruelty by ordering a levy of six hundred Polish women for the use of his camp.
