B a tty, th e proprietor of Astley's Amphitheatre. On the little general's arrival in Logland he was desirous of having an equipage of pro tections suitable to his own Lilliputian dimensions. There was no difficulty about the carriage —very little trouble in obtaining boys competent to driving the vehicle; but there was a grand obstacle in the ponies. Cinderella's fairy was not at h:: ni to manufacture them from lizards—nor could an iinportatirn from Pegu be accomplished in sufficient time. In this dilemma Mr. Batty stepped forward and kindly sup plial the general with a pair of beautiful little animals from his own magnificent stud, which the public have for months had opportunities of admiring; the general, recognizing that nihrk of attention, by pr.tsenting Mr. Batty with a pair of charming white ponies, which he has lately been using, and we conclude they will often be seen upon that stage where we are accustomed to look for rare specimens of the equine race. FOOLHARDINESS. —Mr. Rea, soon after starting with one of the trains on the South Devon, OR the day of its opening, dis covered a man riding on the engine-buffer, about the most smash able'. place on which a man could plant himself; for supposing he could have held his post till he arrived at the station, unobserved by the engine-driver, it was quite possible that in pulling up he might have been squeezed against the next carriage, and killed on the spot. Mr. Rea immediately blew the guard's whistle, the breaks were ap plied, and the train stopped ; but it required vigorous MTh As to die. place the gentleman, who stuck like a director to premium, and could only be displaced by main force.7.nerborne Journal. communication was r ece i ve d a t t h e Yesterday, a metropolitan and city police stations, that Sergeant John William tiewett, of her 3fajety's 3sth Regiment of Foot, had deserted, and taken with him a large amount of money belonging to the publie service, entrusted to hint for paying various bills. - - WAKEFIELD CORN MARKET, JUNE 12.—We have rather larder arrival this week.

I Evening .. 40 minutes after 4 'they will be found sufficiently cogent to set aside the itrongly expressed opinion of the Commissioners, lvf , have known some fearful cases of hardship to the occupying tenant, in fact ruin entailed on him bx the existence of such a power. The remainder of tl Bill relates to ejectment : the civil bill ejectment ha. been retained ; it has been a vexata questiu amongst the best informed persons on the subject, whether this power is beneficial to the tenant or otherwise. The Commissioners reported in favour of its continuance. It has certainly an advantage in its great cheapness, compared with a similar proceeding in the superior courts. The landlord will be bound to serve a notice on the tenant of the amount claimed, and an increased facility is given to the tenant to redeem before actual possession is taken. We think this might advanta geously be extended to the six months after the execution of the habere, within which time the tenant has power to redeem by filing a bill in a court cf equity, the heavy costs of which might easily be dispensed with. A power might also be given (perhaps with advantage) to enable an under-tenant ;to pay the proportion of rent fairly due for his particular holding, and thereby to stay proceedings, so far as he was concerned. In many cases he may at present, through the default of others, be evicted, although able and willing to pay the entire sum due in respect of his own tenement . The most valuable provision, however, is that which enables the middleman's interest to be evicted with out serving any notice on or disturbing the under tenants, who will stand precisely as before. Much difficulty will by this means be removed from the land lord, and it will prevent the recurrence of many of the fearful and heartrending scenes which have recently taken place in Ireland. The last is for the reduction of the stamp duty on leases where the rental does not ex ceed 501. per annum. We have already stated the benefit which will thereby be rendered not merely to the people at large, but also to the revenue. Much still remains to be done, but we gladly accept the present measures as large and valuable instalments to the tenants of Ireland. We hope the next instalment will comprise the extension of the Ulster tenant right, and the cultivation of the waste lands through out the kingdom. Ireland continues to be the Parliamentary Sphynx, and promises to continue yet awhile the inscrutable problem, the solution of which has baffled the astute ness of so many statesmen. Eventful and extraordinary as was the present session upon its commencement, the position of the Commons and the Ministry at this moment is, perhaps, altogether without a parallel There are simultaneously before that House two legislative measures relating to our sister island— both introduced by Government, and yet of an essen tially and diametrically opposite tendency—the one coercive, the of her conciliatory. Upon the Curfew Bill the Irish representatives cannot pronounce an opinion without giving utterance to the most acrid in vective, or without evincing the most resolute and unanimous antagonism to the Cabinet from which it has proceeded. Their reception, on the contrary, of the three Bills propounded by that same Cabinet, and the explication of which was uttered on Thursday by Lord LINCOLN, has been cordial and generous in the ex tremest signification of those adjectives. On one hand there are indications of resentment, ani mosity, and indignation; on the other, of gratitude and satisfaction. Those amongst our legislators who are desirous of benefiting Great Britain generally—independent of all conventional par tialities, and of all constituential predilections, will assuredly never dream of ousting a Ministry pre cisely at the very moment when the greatest social and commercial boon that ever fell to the lot of Englishmen to possess is on the eve of being assured to them for ever ! Assuredly they will not be pre posterously intermeddling enough to annihilate the tree just as the pear is ripe, and quivering over our mouths ! Assuredly they will not render the whole of this prolonged and arduous session null and ineffective at the identical instant when our statesmen are preparing to garner up the harvest of their labours! They can preserve the liberties of Irishmen intact, they can sustain their own in dividual consistency unsullied, and yet permit us to obtain free trade. They can do this ! And again we ask, assuredly will they not ? We are not expecting from the Irish Members any resignation of their rights to interfere when the happiness of their countrymen and constituents is in any way threatened by a measure— it would be madness and cruelty to anticipate such a concession. Nor do we desire the acquisition of free trade, if it must be purchased with anything de rogatory to the comfort or convenience of any division of the United Kingdoms. But we do anticipate, and we do desire, that no superfluous am bition to be regarded as patriotic and unflinching will induce any sections of our Legislative Assembly, so to coalesce in the earnestness of their opposition to the reading of a certain Bill as to abruptly circum vent the good intentions of the Ministry, and by so doing wantonly retard the possession of a glorious policy. Can they not recognise in the assumed fervour of their temporary associates the vindictiveness of personal pique to the Premier rather than a spontaneous goodwill towards Ireland ? Can they not perceive that the irrigation of Terra del Fuego, or the assessment of local taxes upon the hedgers and ditchers of Paramata, would just as readily excite the eloquence and arouse the enthu siasm of their qua si-colleagues if such matters could as fully tend to the destruction of the present Government ? Do they not, in fine, perceive that the whole affair, from beginning to end, is a ruse for their entrapment, very artfully designed upon the surface, but very shallow notwithstanding ? San guine that they have discovered thus much, we shall look anxiously for the consequences in dicative of that discovery. Upon the ba lance of votes upon the obnoxious measure depends the final assurance of free trade to Great Britain. Upon that balance of those votes does not depend the final rejection of a feudal policy towards Ireland. The preference, therefore, to employ a homely comparison, is one of chalk and cheese. It is the exemplification of .son's dog—dropping the substantial meal to seize the shadow in the water. Before any rash decision be arrived at, let another matter be taken into conside ration. Let all those legislators who declare them selves so explicitly as having the welfare of Ireland at heart and who simultaneously evince so much antagonism to the Ministry, let them, we say, meditate seriously and dispassionately upon the effect which must inevitably flow from the proposed measures relating to landlord and tenant in that country, such as those measures were shown to be by Lord LINCOLN, and from such deductions let them judge of the principles and sentiments by which the present Cabinet is actuated—whether for good or evil ? Before they drive matters to an issue, let them, we repeat, scrutinize the commencement of the scheme about to be introduced by the Noble Member for Falkirk, and see if they cannot estimate its entire dimensions as ex pede Hercules:. A great responsi bility reposes in their hands ; the people will not allow their confidence to be From publishing the interdict against Argau, which it said to be in his hands. Madrid letters and papers to•the Gth hac The Spanish Government had received diapatche-, from Lisbon, dated the Ist. At that date, the PAL. MELLA Ministry was in existence, and there appeared to be every probability of its obtaining support. Lisbon and Oporto both held out for the Govern ment, and several juntas had sent in their adhesion to it. In relation to Portugal, the Heraldo re- Arms a rumour which it had mentioned on the preceding day, viz., that a revolutionary junta had been established at Coimbra, which was fully or ganised in every department, and which had issued a circular, declaring that they would accept of nothing short of perfect liberty for the people, a reduction in he army, and the assemblage of a constituent Cortes. The excursion of the Queen of SPAIN to the sea-side has been countermanded. Don HENRY remains at Bayonne, in consequence of having been deprived of the services of Lieutenant VELARDE, his aide-de camp, who has been ordered by the Minister of Marine to return to Ferrol. The Trapani marriage is, it is said, no longer possible ; the Prince of Coburg it is now considered will be the successful candidate for her MAJESTY'S hand. It is reported that a band of robbers have seized General SEBANO, near Costa del Rio, and that they demand a large sum of money for his ransom. MADRID BOLSA, JUNE 6.--The Three per Cents. were not quoted, but several private transactions were concluded at 331 for cash. We have received the Paris papers of Thursday. The debate on Algeria had occupied the attention of the Chamber of Deputies on Wednesday, and had been distinguished by two remarkable orations, one by M. DE LA3IARTINE attacking the Govern ment, and the other by M. GUIZOT in its defence. These speeches are commented on in all the Paris papers. M. DE LAMARTINE denounced the cruelties perpetrated by BUGEAUD in Africa, and M. G num., in reply, read a letter, not from Marshal BUGEAUD, but from Gen. LAMORICIERE, stating that he had restrained his men from taking summary vengeance on the Arabs. With regard to the future, M. GUIZOT considers that France should .rule in Algiers as the Dutch rule in' Java. He admits that no assimilation of race can be made between Arabs and Europeans, but he declared emphatically that neither the extermination nor the banishment- of the natives should form part of his policy. The general discussion closed on Wednesday, and on Thursday several of the items of the Budget were voted. In the Chamber of Peers the Dijon and Mulhouse Railway Bill was under discussion. It is feared that of the three French Cardinals one only will be able to attend the conclave for the elec tion of Pope. The Cardinal Archbishop of Aix is 'eriously ill, and the Cardinal Archbishop of AREAS is of so advanced an age that it is thought it will be im possible for him to undertake a journey to Rome. The Cardinal Archbishop of LYONS will, it is feared, be the only French Cardinal in the conclave.

SMITH V. RING. The plaintiff in this action is a builder in Took's-court, Carey-street, and the defendant is a baker in Marlborough road, Chelsea. The plaintiff's demand was for 131. 16s. for work and labour. On the part of the plaintiff it was shown that an agreement had been entered into between the parties that the plaintiff should do certain work for the sum of 501., but that the de fendant wished alterations to be made from the original plan, for which the plaintiff charged 9/. 18s. It was admitted that 461. 2s. had been paid on ac count, and that a small portion of the work was left unfinished, the defendant having set other persons on the job ; this portion of the work, however, was estimated at eighteenpence only. On the contrary, it was contended that the defendant was bound to lay out 50/. on the house, and plaintiff knew it, and agr ee d t o d o th e whole of the work for that sum ; and, in fact, it was not worth more, and that, having been paid a part, plaintiff agreed to take the rest out in goods. Nineteen shillings was paid for the work left unfinished, and money was advanced to plaintiff to pay:the surveyor, and bread supplied to his men beyond the amount of 501. The Learned JUDGE said the case depended almost en tirely on the memory of the witnesses on each side. It was a great pity that tradesmen entering into such agreements did not reduce them into writing. The jury gave a verdict for the defendant. BANKRUPTCY.-(THIS DAY.) Before Mr. Commissioner FONELANQUE). IN HE HARLOW. This bankrupt, who had carried on an extensive business as a tobacconist and cigar dealer, came up to pass his last examination. He was supported by Mr. Lawrence. It ap peared from his evidence that he had formerly been in business, and was insolvent at that time, owing a Mr. Fryer a sum of about 1,5001. Mr. Fryer afterwards opened the shop and put in the bankrupt as his agent, and he continued so from 1841 to September last, when Mr. Fryer said that he had lost so much that the bankrupt must take the business on his own hands, and he required him to sign a warrant of attorney to pay 81. a week to pay off the 1,5001., a new debt, and said unle,s he did so he must go cut. Bankrupt had ordered goods before he took to the business to the amount of 1001, but finding he could not go on, he countermanded th at and other orders. The Learned CoBINISSIONER. said Mr. Fryer must know that he could not prove for the former debt. Mr. NICHOLLS said he should submit that Mr. Fryer was not a creditor at all. He had allowed g oo d s to be ordered and sent in in his name and to his shop, although the bank- rupt's name was afterwards put up on the license board. passing his last examinati on ; hi s accounts were The CumussioNlT said that nothi ng appeared to prevent r bankrupt passing satisfactory.

Spottiswoode, re ported in yesterday's Sun, has formed the topic of very gt ne ral conversation in trust circles here to-day. It is considered a matter most consistent with justice that the plaintiff should have the remedy she prayed for, and to have her money back, the Company never having gone into existence. The question, decided definitively, as we believe it now is, must be of vast importance in many other points of view, as not a few other individuals are placed in precisely the same situ ation as the plaintiff in the case under review.

We yesterday traced the proceedings to be taken, in order to make the compulsory improvements a charge upon the inheritance of the lands, which they become when registered with the clerk of the peace ; the ( amount is limited to three years value of the land. The next important part of the proposed measure is the manner of arranging the compensation for such improvements, to be paid to the outgoing tenant. In this respect we think that the method contemplated by the Bill is a considerable improvement on that sug gested by the Commissioners. They recommended that if the tenant should be ejected, or his rent raised, within thirty years, the landlord should be bound to pay such a sum, not exceeding the maximum fixed, as the work should then be valued at ; in other words, the whole cost of the improvements as registered with the clerk of the peace, making allowance for the diminution in value by the lapse of time. The prin cipal objection to this method would be, that it would create a fertile source of dissension and litigation between the landlord and out-going tenant. Few would be prepared to agree on the present value of improvements which had been effected perhaps twenty years before, and in the great majority of cases recourse would be had to law for the purpose of deciding that value, and the feelings of both parties would be mutually em bittered. The Bill, on the other band, greatly simplifies this ; there can be no dispute as to the sum payable ; it takes the fair average of the wear and tear of the improvements, and it ap portions the sum payable to the tenant accord ing to the ti me d ur i ng w hi c h h e has himself I been in the actual enjoyment thereof. Thus, if removed during the first seven years, he shall receive the entire sum he has expended; if at the end of four teen years, three-quarters; at the end of twenty-one years one-half, and at the end of 28 years one quarter. A further option is afforded to the landlord with the view of inducing him to continue the tenant in the occupation of the land, viz., that where the period of the tenancy had expired antecedently to the twenty-eightyears, and the landlord chose to con tinue him in possession until the expiration of the whole twenty-eight years, the tenant should not be entitled to any compensation. This is fair enough as afford ing a premium to the landlord not to disturb the pre sent occupant ; we, however, sincerely trust that long before such a provision could come into operation, the extension of the Ulster tenant right to the whole of Ireland will have taken away the utility of such a provision. The next point is one which will too frequently be required in Ireland, arising from the injurious system of middlemen. It is that when the immediate landlord, who paid the tenant for the im provements, had himself but a terminable interest in the lands, he should be repaid the sum advanced by him by those who succeed him in the estate. This is but equitable and just, and a carrying out of the prin ciple on which the measure is founded, viz , that those benefiting by the improvements should be bound to pay therefor, and should not be exposed to the temptation of seeking to evict their tenants for the mere purpose of enjoying the im provements effected by them. The only remaining provision is, that on the completion of the works by mutual consent, the landlord should be at liberty to pay the tenant the whole cost of the improvements, and thereupon to obtain the allowance provided by the Bill on the outlay. We think that this might with great advantage be extended, and that the landlord should at any time be at liberty to pay the tenant the amount expended by him. It has been considered on all sides most desirable that, if practicable, the improvements should be effected at the cost of the landlord, who, in the increased value of his estate, and its freedom from change or incumbrance of any kind, would find the most bene ficial result of his expenditure, while the entire capital of the tenant would be devoted with the greatest utility to its proper and legitimate object—the due and proper stocking and cultivation of his farm. Such is the first of the three measures introduced for the improvement of the relationship of landlord and tenant, and we do think that, in the words of Lord DEVON'S report, no single measure can be better calculated to allay discontent and to promote sub stantial improvement throughout the country. Its principal defects may be easily remedied in Corn mittee, Its benefits will, however, be principally for the future generation. 'Unfortunately, there is no compensation afforded to tenants for improvements already effected. We had hoped that there would no longer be a possibility of the recurrence of such a scene at that which was recently enacted at Bird-hill, where a tenant, who had within a few years expended his entire capital in permanent and valuable improve ments, by which the value of his holding was ma terially increased, was driven out with his family on the wide world to destitution and ruin, without one farthing's allowance for his large outlay, which amounted to at least six times the rent in ariear. We cannot see any difficulty which there would be in giving full effect to such a provision. Arbitrators might be appointed in a similar manner to that provided by the Bill, and they might adjudicate not merely on the propriety of the improvements which had taken place, but on the cost actually incurred and the time when it was expended. The provisions of the Bill might then be extended thereto, and a vasi boon would thus be conferred on a large portion a the tenant-farmers of Ireland, and an immediate be nefit to the country. The friends of the Irish farmer and:they are numerous and intelligent in the House, wil _ _ _ doubtless, seek to insert a provision with such an 0 1 of eobjectatatahye spoken theproper lttw \ of less consequence than that of which we have The t w sitt i u ll i :ti a ll effect a material improve ment.report.moßs ill for the improvement eject ment. This appear respect The he tntotaikrde rightli entirely r f e o s ou s fn d a de n ids d t roan e i eject This appea almost entirely founded i the Commissioners' growing crops is altogether rid of a most vexatious Power, and likely to be abused. The virtue of PT : thois tenant of the amount claimed,, and the distress only to be made by gets , no a t n iee d one very the wa i r ttin g or order to distrain in writing, signed by the it land lord or his agent, will be most valuable. The first shows the tenant exactly the demand which he i s called on to liquidate, and the second takes the power from a class of all others the last to li hich it could properly be entrusted. We mean the bailiffs and drivers, who were frequently guilty of the greatest cruelty and oppression, in order to impress their em ployers with an idea of their own activity. It is fitting that the responsibility attached to sw h a pro ceeding should be cast on the proper party, the [andlord or his agent. There is, unfortunately, no clause carrying out the recommendation of the Commissioners, " that the occupying tenant, under a middleman or mesne land- lord: should be protected by statute from the danger of a double process of distress, to which he is at pre sent exposed." It appears that Lord LINCOLN wished to have a provision on this subject introduced, but that it had been struck out under the advice of an eminent lawyer connected with Ireland : his Lord ship promises to be prepared with the grounds for this course against the next disctission. We doubt if GAUGE OF RAILWAYS. Sir George Clerk has given notice of motion, that on Tuesday, the 16th of June, he will move the adoption of the recommendations contained in the minute of the Board of Trade of the 6th day of June, 1846, on report of Commis sioners for inquiring into the Gauge of Railways :- 1. That no line shall hereafter be formed on any other than the four feet eight and a half inch gauge, excepting lines to the south of the existing line from London to Bristol, and excepting small branches of a few miles in length, in immediate connexion with the Great Weste rn R a il way ; but that no such line as above excepted shall be sanctioned by Parliament, unless a special report shall have been made by the Committee on the Bill, setting forth the reasons which have lad the Committee to advise that such line should be formed on any other than the four feet eight and a half inch gauge.. 2. — That, unless by the consent of the Legislature, it shall not be permitted to the directors of any railway company to alter the gauge of such railway. 3. That, in order to complete the general chain of narrow gauge communication from the north of England to the southern coasts, and to the port of Bristol, any suitable measures should be promoted to form a narrow gauge link from Gloucester to Bristol, and also from Oxford to Ba•ing stoke, or by any shorter route connecting the proposed Rugby and Oxford line with the South. Western Railway. 4. That the South Wales line, and its branches to Mon mouth and Hereford, should be permitted to be'formed on the broad gauge, as sanctioned by their Act. 5. That the Rugby and Oxford line, and the Oxford, Wor cester, and Wolverhampton line, should be permitted to be formed on the broad gauge, as sanctioned by their Acts : that the Lords of the Committee of Privy Council for Trade shall exercise the powers conferred upon them by the several Acts, and shall require that additional narrow gauge rails shall forthwith be laid down front Rugby to Oxford, and from Wolverhampton to the junction with the Birmingham and Gloucester line; and that it it should hereafter appear that there is a traffic requiring accommodation on the narrow gauge from the Staffordshire districts to the southern coast, any suitable measure shall be promoted by Parliament to form a narrow gauge link from Oxford to the line of the Birmingham and Gloucester Railway.

The conflagration originated in some extensive premises at Counterslip, which run back to the wall of the floating harbour, and are occupied lsy Messrs. Finzell and Son as a sugar re finery. The fir was first discovered at about a quarter-past two o'clock. As soon as the flames were observed an alarm was given, and the city engine and those of the West of England, Norwich Union, Crown, and other public companies, as well as several from privet.: warehouses and manufactories, were speedily brought to the spot, and began playing upon the flames. The combustible nature of the materials, however, imparted such fury to the conflagration that all efforts to extinguish it proved unavailing, and the entire premises, with the valuable machinery and immense stock of sugars, were de stroyed. In the immediate neighbourhood of the refinery are sere' al warehouses, as also Counterslip Chapel and newly-built day and Sabbath schools, and on the opposite side of the water is the exten sive city poor-house known as St. Peter's Hospital; and for these buildings ennui. erable alarm was at times felt. The books of the firm were eirtunately secured, and one small store of sugar was not entirely destroyed, but it is expected th a t th e l oss w ill no t tall s hort of 3TeOOO/., a part only of which is Insured. What makes the matter more distressing is, that about eighty persons will be deprived of their means of livelihood. MELANCHOLY OCCURRENCE AT GREENOCK.—On Sa turday evening, about ten o'clock, one of the most dt•tressing acci dents we have h ,d to record for a long time occurred on tile river, about half way between the red lamp at the foot of Mararet-street and the powder-h.muses, by whilh two highly respectable gentle men have lost their lives. Mr. Edward G. Ilbery, the superin tendent of locomotives on the Greenock Railway, and his cousin, Mr. Henry Howell, the treasurer and secretary to Messrs. Stephenson, Mackenzie, and Brassy, the contractors for the new lljbours now constructing here, went in a small pleasure-boat in their slippers to smoke their cigars and to enjoy the cool breeze on the river. They had not been long out when a steamer upon a trial trip, having been recently built by Messrs. Bar and M`Nab, at their establish ment at Renfrew, came up the river at a rapid pace, and notwith standing the loud arid piercing shrieks of the unfortunate gentle men to those on board to keep her off, she came right on the boat, cutting her as with a kniie down to the keel, and killing both those in her. Mr. Howell was taken immediately out of the water by the people in the steamer, and though then alive, yet, from the violence of the blow he had received ou his breast, he died almost Instantly. Mr. llbeiy was not seen after the collision, but it was evident he must have been also struck at the same instant with Mr. Howell, as in all likelihood he would, if ueinjureA, have saved him self, as he was au excellent swimmer. His body was not recovered till twelve o'clock on Sunday, when it was found that he hal also been struck on the side of his head. Both gentlemen were English men, and unmarried.--Greenock Adrerliser. AN ANTIQUATED EXCAVATOR.— A few days since. as some labourers were digging trenches for the purpose of laying down the gas-light mains in Church-street, All Saints, an old woman named Chambers, who has attained the 106th year of her age, stepped out of her apartment, and facetiously hinted to the men that they did not appear to her sufficiently to understand the use of' the pick-axe with which they were labouring, and by their leave she would just show them how it ought to be done. Upon being handed into the trench, the venerable dame dexterously gave sundry blows with the instrument, and sovigorously withal, that she was at length unable to remove it from the earth into which she had so strenuously forced it, without assistance. She after wards returned to her domicile, well pleased with the instruction she had practically given to the workmen, anal betook herself to her knitting, an occupation In which eho i l _ usually beguiles away the day, when not employed in tier household s. d_ affairs, which she performs with her own hands and with:D i : it., i w r e : f considerable some mopi charitable i:ideerids. . ance This truly wonderful remnant of antiquity is al74o:L'd it rw ry ith of gt ,, . extra- understand, of Brecon, in Wales, was born in the hicr year ong me is full consequently 106 years of . , a . g.: 1 he Ttr ela h t i e s of interesting incidents, ts Lich s which sense has i ordinary degree, with the exception E.AGLEorsthS::: oonfderfal woman is very com municative,to date and circumstance.

WARSAW, MAY 25.—The police in Warsaw, which ea former visits of the - Emperor took all imaginable pa i ns to excite the people to express their joy, by huzzaing, waving hats, &c., has in this remained in the background. It is said that this has been done by order of the Emperor himself. A grzat sensation has been caused by a visit which the.. Emperor has paid to C oun t ess R osa li a Nzenaska, M a id (a Honour to the Empress. As this lady, whose husband is still in the struggle for the independence of Poland, whoae brother, the celebrated General Duriter Chodkienioz, atone(' for his love of liberty in the dungeon of St. Petersburgb , is disclaimed by the Polish patriots as an apostate, this imperia l favour, which is granted to very few persons, does not serve to regain the best re pects of his countrymen. This honour is most strikingly contrasted with the treatment, still believed by many persons to be true, experienced by Countess Ka' lisgi, for having saved the rash Dombrouski from death ea the gallows; neither her beauty, nor her sex, nor the inter" vention of her otherwise so influential uncle, the Ministe r Count Nesselrode, could do anything in her favour.
