NASH. V. BIRCH. 29th of March, 1834. The defendant drove very furiously through Redburn that'evening. The Wonder, which is also a Shrewsbury coach, came into Redburn about the same time, and started before the ,Nimrod.. The Nimrod is not exactly an Opposition coach to the Wonder, but they travel the same road. Mr. Fairbourne, a solicitor, had been instructed by Saunders to take proceedings against the proprietors of the Nimrod. Re w as subsequently paid his costs, amounting to 28/., on the action being stayed. John Jobson, son of one of the proprietors, deposed that the proper rate of travelling was nine and a half miles per hour. The distance from London to Shrewsbury was 155 miles, and the time allowed was sixteen hours, including twenty minutes for breakfast and twenty minutes for dinner. The time lost in taking up luggage and passengers was to be made up by the coachman. The Nimrod generally took half an hour more than the Wonder to perform the journey. Mr. THaSSIGER addressed the Jury for the defendant. The Present action was one of a very extraordinary nature, and considering that the defendant had driven coaches for some one or other of the proprietors for twenty years, and that he was thought a fit person to drive the Nimrod after the accident had occurred, it would have been more to the credit of the plaintiffs if they had refrained from bringing it. He would call witness who would distinctly prove that the accident was en tirely owing to the conduct of Saunders himself—that he could never have recovered compensation from the proprietors, and that they had no right to bring the present action against the defendant. Joseph Kempson, guard of the Nimrod.—The Wonder and Nimrod generally left Shrewsbury at the same time. During the time he was guard of the Nimrod, it was an opposition coach to the Wonder. Two of the proprietors had told him, if he did not keep up with the Wonder he should be dis charged. In consequence of these orders, they were obliged to g o some short stages 14, 16, and 18 miles an hour On the day in question, two of the proprietors drove about 86 miles of the journey. The Wonder was about 20 0 yards ahead of the Nimrod, when witness saw Saun ders and Dixon coming towards him. They separated and the Wonder passed between them, and they then joined again, on their own side. Had they remained in that position no accident would have occurred, but Saunders attempted to cross the road, and the leaders caught him. The Nimrod was not more than a foot beyond the middle of the road at the time. There was a space of between seven and eight feet be tween the coach and the foot path where the horsemen were. Lord DENMAN—Whose fault do you think it was ? Witness--I can't blame either party, it seemed to be quite an accident. In a conversation with one of the proprietors, he told him they were driving at the time about 14 miles an hour. John Morris, Thomas Askill, Abraham Newland, Joseph Attwood, and Matthew Elmes, were subsequently examined. They a ll gave the defendant an excellent character for steadi ness as a coachman, and corroborated the testimony of Kemp son as to the speed of the coach, and the wish of the proprie tors to keep up with the Wonder. A letter from the plaintiff's attorney to the defendant was put in and read, stating that if his costs, 71. 155., were not paid, he was instructed to proceed. Mr. CRESWELL replied. LORD DENMAN having summed up at considerable length, the jury conferred together for some time, when the foreman inquired if they could reduce the amount of damages? LORD DENMAN—I am afraid you cannot. You must give the entire if you think the plaintiffs entitled to recover. The Jury again consulted together for a short time, and re turned a verdict for the defendant, which occasioned some marks of approbation among the spectators. The Court rose shortly after one o'clock. EXCHEQUER COURT-(THIS DAY). Mr. Sergeant BomPas (with whom was Mr. PETERSDORF) stated that this was an action of ejectment brought to recover possession of the house No. 119, Crawford-street, Maryle ?one. The plaintiff's agent entered into an agreement for the auuse in question with the defendant, for 7, 14, or 21 years, at the rent of 60/. a year, the defendant within three months to Put in a shop front and repair the premises. He took posses sion of the house in May, and in place of erecting a shop Nut, he merely put in large-sized panes of glass and made the windows 18 inches wider ; but the matter of which Mr. Nash had most reason to complain was that the defendant had ?Pened the house as a beer-shop, of which Mr. Portman Loudly complained, and the plaintiff was liable to him in a Penal rent of 100/. a year for every year it was in that trade. There was not one person in London who would be imposed upon by the defendant's apology for a shop front. Mr. Jocelyu,,a builder, knew the premises in question ; the windows were about a third larger than before Mr. Birch Vent in. Cross-examined by Mr. EARLE—Witness was present When Mr. Birch and the agent for the plaintiff concluded t he agreement. The defendant told him that he wanted the house for a coffee-house and dining-rooms, and he would sell r t was to be a business similar to the West End dinin g rooms. Air. Lloyd, a surveyor, of twenty years standing, said the L e nt " a shop-front" was well understood in the building trade. The front in question was not a shop-front ;it was a mere Parlour -front, with the windows a little enlarged. Mr. James Elmes, another surveyor, Mr. Monk, a carpenter, 4 , 11 d Mr. Hewlett, a carpenter, said there was no imitation cf a nep front in the house in question ; it was a regular parlour f ront. Mr. Barnard and Mr. Bird, architects, gave similar tes timony. th Mr. Choles acted as agent for the plaintiff in the letting of el lciuse in question, and confirmed the former witnesses. Cross-examined—Mr. Birch did not say a word about telling beer, or he would never have got•the house. It was to bee dining-house on a genteel scale. Was at the house when the alterations were being made, but made no complaint. The Plaintiff's son lived next door, and he made no complaint. Mr. EARLE, for the defendant, said the action was a mere at had to rob Mr. Birch of a larg e sum of money which he been obliged to spend in the repairing and painting of t T 2 e premises. The form of the front was not the cause of i ;ie action—that was a mere after-thought, for it was found th at no business at all could be carried on in the premises, w ithout subjecting . Mr. Nash to a fine to his superior landlord. f ee held a no ti ce in hi s h an d w hich was served upon the de wdant almost as soon as he had got the premises in a fit state fo r hi s b us i ness , w h ere i n no t a wor d w as said about the form of the premises, but was a notice from the plaintiff to the defen i:aet not to carry on any business, or if he did, he was to be liable for the damage done to the plaintiff. There was t ° doubt but that this was such a shop front as the parties in ended a t th e ti me o f m aking this contract, and they now br ought architects to prove technical terms. j Nlr. Smith, a carpenter, was called upon by Mr. Birch in one last to repair the premises in question. He put in ma iii:llgany window flames, 4 feet by 6 feet, and put up swing utters, the same as shop-fronts usually had. He had seen 11 3' such fronts as Mr. Birch's. Samuel Higgs a builder, was at Mr. Birch's, and thought ue alt erat i ons had not made a shop front, though it was very Pl'oper for carrying on the business of an eating house. John Nash, son of the plaintiff, was his father's agent dur g his illness. Saw the alterations that Mr. Birch was as Making while they were going on. Never complained of th em. dn as his father was so ill that he could not communicate " him. In consequence of a communication from the :gent of Mr. Portman, a notice was served upon Mr. Birch l i nt to carry on any business on the premises, or he would be iable to any damage the plaintiff might sustain if he did. to his father from time to time, but he was too ill to attend 1 1 . 431 3 , business. Witness went and demanded rent from Mr. :eh, b u t th at was no t by hi s f a th er 's authority. Mr. Birch o ffered the 15/. rent if vi itnes's would hold him harmless from i n Portman's penal rent, which was 251. Witness refused, "ua th e rent was not paid. Mr. EARLE offered several documents in evidence, which Were refused by his Lordship. $1 , 1 ‘ 11 % Sergeant BOMPAS replied, and his Lordship having "tilled up. The Jury found a verdict for the plaintiff. I NSOLVENT COURT.-(THIS DAY). 111 r. G eor ge Blurtori, a Lieutenant in the Navy on half ir, applied upon his petition to be discharged. His ap , cation, which was unopposed, was supported by Mr. - I f The insolvent stated his half-pay to be 881. a-year, and 's Wif e h a d an income of 40/. He had nothing to give up h l ' Lis creditors. His debts were 847/., of which sum he 13 .: 1 1 ( 1 received no consideration for 4441., having accepted w I S of exchange for the accommodation of his brother, who a s in the wine trade, to that amount. He was now in but he expected some assistance from an uncle. Tie Learned CHIEF COMMISSIONER lectured the insol ilent on th e f o ll y o f acce pti ng accom modation bills without e Could pay them. No man had a right to do so ; and o e might consider himself extremely fortunate in not being PPosed, more particularly as he owed debts himself. insolvent said his debts were of long standing. the COMMISSIONER said that made it the worse ; as he lm d not pay his old debts, he should not have involved self in new engagements. A bona fide holder considered that an acceptor could pay the bill. • -17. COOKE could not justify the accepting of the bills.

Cavendish square, Mr. Curtis the ch a i r , when Mr. Robinson brought forward a motion to th e effect that Mr. H. L. Bulwer's appointment, as Se thte'‘arY of Lega tien at Brussels, did not necessarily compel Hon. Member to vacate his seat for the borough of o al ".viebone. On the motion of Mr. Joseph, the further tu n iderati on o f th e subject was unanimously Fostponed l . t 4 Monday next. POLISH REVOLUTION. Last night the Polis'a Refugees resident in London cele brated the Anniversary of the Polish Revolution of the 29th of November, 1830, by a meeting at the Crown and Anchor. There appeared to be upwards of 100 Polish refugees present ; and a highly respectable assemblage of English of both sexes. • Mr. 'FEARGUS O'CONNOR"' having been invited to take the Chair, attended at the appointed hour, and addressed the meeting at considerable length. The honour, he said, which had been conferred on him by being called on to pre side at such a meeting, was such that no services which he had been enabled to render to the cause of freedom could fairly, entitle him to. No one, however, could take a deeper interest in the fate of Poland than he did—and it was natural that he should feel a peculiar sympathy for her sufferings, for he belonged to a country which had endured wrongs strikingly similar to those which had been inflicted upon Poland.--(Hear, hear.) Need he say that that country was Ireland.—(Hear, and cheers.) The oppres sions which the two countries had undergone were closely similar ; but in one respect they differed ; for had Ireland been left the natural protectors of her soil—had the men who were at once the nobles of her land,-and the friends of her people, not been banished or exterminated, the acts of justice which were now tardily doled out by Acts of Par- liament, would have been extorted from the fears of those who misruled and tyrannised over that brave and generous people. It was true that the polish nobles were now banished from the land of their birth ; but would their term of banish ment be long or lasting ? No ; by the same onward march of freedom which had gained some at least of the rights of men for the inhabitants of Ireland, would the Poles be released from the servitude under which their country groaned.—(Cheers.) The cause of the oppressed and persecuted Poles had enlisted the sympathies of all classes of Englishmen and Irishmen, whose adherence in any cause was worth having. It was a subject of no slight degree of pride with him, as an Irishman, that one of the ablest and most eloquent of the representatives of Ireland was the man who brought forward a motion in the House of Commons for rejecting the appointment of Lord Londonderry as Ambassador to Russia.—(Hear, hear.) During every session of Par liament for a long period past the grievances of the Poles formed the subject of a separate and substantive motion. During the last, that practice was departed from on the ground, he had no doubt, that the feelings of the repre sentatives of the people in this country regarding Poland were considered to be conveyed with sufficient distinctness by cancelling the appointment of Lord Londonderry as Am bassador to the Court of St. Petersburg.—(Hear, hear.) Yes ; that Lord Londonderry who had called the Poles "rebels" The Noble Lord forgot (and indeed it was na tural that he should, for he was incapable of conceiving any principle which was not founded on narrow-minded bigotry or heartless oppression) that tacit acquiescence in, or tame submiision to, a flagrant wron g is in itself an act of re bellion of the worst kind—a rebellion against the immu table laws of reason and justice, and against the fundamental regulations of that social compact into which man has entered, with the view of diffusing the benefits and blessings of liberty.—(Lnud cheers.) But the intentions of the Tory Ambassador (Lord Londonderry) were, thank God, frustrated, by his appointment being cancelled by the voice of an overwhelming majority of the Commons of England, and the Government which had the hardihood to make the appointment hurled from office by the same power.—(Cheers.) Had that Government been able to dec&ve the people of this country into any other persuasion than they grasped at, and endeavoured to retain, power for the purposes of oppression and self-aggrandisement, how naturally, how readily, and how joyfully would its mem bers and adherents have joined in the policy which would shut out Poland from all hope of restoration to independence. In what an appropriate position the Duke of Cumberland would be placed when in alliance with the Emperors of Russia, Prussia, Austria, and the King of the French, he could entertain the design of plotting against the liberties of the people. The Duke was high in Tory favour as the Grand Master of Orange Lodges. Were the Autocrat of Russia to set his foot in England, he would be sure to find welcome in the Carlton Club, and would no doubt be perfectly qualified to stand upon Tory principles for any vacancy which may occur in the boroughs under their controul. 2 --(Laughter and cheers.) The speech of the Autocrat would—had his friends in England remained in office—been received as a most congenial effusion of the sentiments of liberality which ought to be expressed by rulers to their subjects.—( Hear, hear.) Yes ; that speech, which commenced with the dignified assurance that he could not hear the declaration of the opinions of the depu tation from Warsaw, because be knew that what they were abbut to communicate to him was a " The word was in strict keeping with ' the character of him who uttered it. But was it not astonishing that The Times, The Standard, or the Post, all of which were so sensitive on con ventional observances, never condemned, even in the slight est degree, the want of common courtesy displayed by the Autocrat of the Russias ? That Emperor', who broke the promises held out by his predeces3or, trampkd on the rights of those whom it was his duty to protect, banished by wholesale the inhabitants of that ill-fated land in which his despotic sway was established, and threatened to rase the cities to the ground on the slightest outbreak of those inha bitants, who were unable to quit the land of their birth, against the outrages and oppressions to which they were sub jected.—The brute—the ruffian—the tyrant.—(Loud cheers.) But these expressions, however just, would be considered too warm, and extremely ungentlemanly. That he painted his character, however coarsely, in its true colours, was proved by the reception which that speech met with in England, and by the sympathy that night evinced in favour of those who were the victims of his misrule. Yes, Eng lishmen met there to proclaim to the world that men no longer bowed in blind obedience to the tyrannical dictates of a despot simply because he was called a Kin.. ; and by the indignation which they expressed at the conduct of the Emperor of Russia, to show that ,they would bear with no such speech if ever a King of this country should have the folly or the baseness to utter it.—(Loud cheers.) M. Tolle, a Noble Pole, next addressed the meeting, in excellent English. He said, after the eloquent speech they had heard from the Hon. Chairman, who sympathized so deeply with the sufferings of Poland, and after the power ful statements of the enlightened English press, it was pre sumption in him to address them on the revolution they were met to celebrate ; but the feelings of his heart could not be suppresses. —(Hear, hear.) He would not shock their feelings by attempting to recite the crimes by which the slavery of Poland had been perpetrated. His object was to impress on their minds that the revolution of Po land of the 29th of November had peculiar claims to the favour of the freemen of Europe. History proved that no nation could exist that did not perform its duty to humanity ; such was the mission of Poland for nine centuries, and she well performed it, by defending Christendom from the in cursions of infidel barbarians.—(Hear.) When Europe looked with apathy on her partition she impeded her own improvement.—(Hear, hear..) When Poland's mission against the Turks was ended, another succeeded ; that was to protect their Sclavonian brethren, and restrain the pro gress of Russian despotism.—(Hear.) The spirit of re form still existed ; and the inscription on the banners of Poland during her contest was—" We fight for our rights and for yours."—(Hear.) Had the principles and motives of the revolution been well understood in England, the peo ple would not have been inactive spectators of their strug gle.—(Hear, hear.) Had Poland been enabled to esta blish her own rights, she would have been the rampart of Europe and freedom.—(Hear, hear.) The struggle, however, produced results well calculated to produce more successful efforts.—(Hear, hear.) The more perfect ap prehension of the full rights of man, and the necessity of social union for their attainment—these were the seeds sown by that revolution, and they would yet produce a har vest of blessings in the final overthrow of the foe of burns nity.—(Great cheering.) It had given to the world a striking example of patriotism and devotion to freedom.— (Hear, hear.) It had shown to the world the mighty dif ference between the slave of the despot and the man who preferred a death of freedom to a life of slavery ; and would stimulate future patriots, and render them invincible.— (Hear, hear.) The fatal result of their virtuous struggle had driven thousands of the sons of Poland from their na tive land, and scattered them over the world. They did not ask for pity—they sought for affection.—( Hear, hear.) They were pledges of the fraternity of mankind—links to unite nations together in union against the foe of humanity. —(Hear, hear.) The Polish Revolution of November 29 claimed to be celebrated as a national—as an European fete.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. BALES said he had listened with deep interest to the speech, and he cordially sympathized with the feelings of the patriot Pole who had just addressed them. They had met to celebrate the revolution in Poland, which was required of them by sympathy, by feeling, and by duty.— (Hear.) No one could look back without interest to that mighty outburst of human feeling against tyranny.—(Hear.) They all must sympathize with the virtuous sufferers—they must all unite in abhorrence of the tyrant condemned to an immortality of infamy.—(Hear.) These feelings had been already expressed. Was not the time come to ad vance a step further in the cause of freedom ? — (Great cheering.) Surely the most shameless apologist of the Czar would now admit that the tyrant had dropped the mask, and that the barbarism of his feelings and designs stood out undisguised.—( Hear.) Compare his words with his acts—his known detestation of freedom with his heart less and insulting address to the Deputies of Warsaw. Was it not time to tell the barbarian that he should not advance in his career of crime ?—( Hear, hear.) Were not ' Greece, Belgium, Spain, Portugal, assisted by England, and had we only sighs and tears for Poland?—(Hear, hear.) Had not the brave Poles been deserted, he who now in sulted might have been sueing to them.—(Hear) The THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY, DECEMBER 1,1831 the Carlists had collected fourteen battalioni, - for the purpose of harassing the line of march, and, probably, attacking the baggage. The commissariat of the Legion is not so organized as to enable us to make - movements 'unappuied' (if I may use the term) on our resources. All these considerations, I imagine, induced our General to take the assuredly more secure, although circuitous, course by Portugalette (where we added to our commissariat sup plies), Castro, Limpias, entering the valley of Mena by Villa Santa, Bermeo, Villarcayo, Medina del Pomar, a line where the enemy, had they been disposed to trouble us, would have been obliged to attack us away from their principal fastnesses, under greet disadvantage to themselves. ‘• The total inexperience of the troops and officers ren dered the guarded line of march doubly necessary. The object was to arrive at a point, Briviesca or Vittoria, where the instruction of the Legion might be completed, and where its position, while completing its instruction, might contribute to the general operations of the army in the field ; and we have arrived at that destination without com promising the new levies, from whom so much is expected when they are fully organized. " The patience of this young body of men, their good conduct and subordination, and even cheerfulness, during a long march over a mountainous tract of country, loaded as they were with knapsacks, to which they were not (as old troops) habituated, reflects on them the highest credit, and it augurs most favourably for their future efficiency as soldiers. We have the very best possible materials, such, indeed, as to be considered surprising by all those who have served in the regular British army, and if we have but time and terrein to organize, both of which I hope we have in prospective, we shall not lessen the opi nion Spain has already formed of British capability. " Owing to the long peace, and little consequent ex perience the .British troops have had in the field for the last twenty years, some Officers here question whether the same number of regular English battalions would have traversed the same line of country with fewer stragglers ; some, with long experience in regimental service, have declared .that they would not. The march, besides, being in conformity with tactics, that is—in operating junc tions by the rear and by the front—has had other good. effects connected with organization, and producing mi litary habits not to be despised. It has taught the young and inexperienced soldier to march, carry his pack, and rations ; to forage and cook for himself, to bivouac, and to depend on his own ingenuity and resources. It has taught him these essential requisites to the soldier in the field, and he has learned more in nine days than he could have acquired in one year in a regular barrack, where his wants are all provided for. " Briviesca is understood to be the place pointed out by the Government as most convenient for provisions and re sources, and as being useful by its position, offensively and defensively, to the operations on the Ebro. We shall pro bably move ere long to Vittoria, which is distant only two or three marches from us. " The several corps of the forces are now brushing up, and in spite ,of the severe cold and the country being co vered with snow, the quartering of the troops in convents, &c., with the want of sufficient bedding, an evident im provement, instead of the reverse, has been effected both morally and physically. There are few sick. This Legion has beeh so long spoken of in print, that the non-military world would probably have expected us to have taken the field long since, but no man of the slightest military know ledge could for a moment have expected anything of the kind. The earliest raised portion of the force have now been only three months embodied, the largest number hardly five weeks. Soldiers well know how small a degree of organization and discipline can be arrived at in a short space of time, even with the advantage of a neucleus of formed officers and non-commissioned officers. " Our cantonments are—Head-quarters with the 3d and Light Brigades, Briviesca ; Ist Brigade, Villeme and adja cent villages ; 2d Brigade, Camenas, and neighbouring vil lages ; 4th Brigade, Calzada and Bersosa ; and the cavalry, Pradanos. " Two or three of our last regiments from England ap pear to have a great number of persons with chronic dis eases, and boys incapable of military service ; at least 150 of the former have been sent to Santander, together with 200 boys, averaging 16 or 17 years old,'who are not able to carry the knapsack. These last will be employed for some time in the duties not requiring much physical exertion." - ----4 treaty of Vienna guaranteed Belgium to Holland. Bel gium spurned the degradation, and we acknowledged her right to freedom; Armies marched, and fleets sailed to assist Belgium. If it were right to assist Belgium, it was a grievous , wrong to desert Poland.—(Hear.) That treaty guaranteed the independence of Poland—that she should have a free Constitution and representative Go vernment.—( Hear, hear, hear.) A fter that treaty Po land was oppressed and tortured.—( Hear.) Loading the Poles with benefits ! making them happy in spite of them selves ! Yes, by destroying the liberty of the press—by banishing refractory deputies—by giving power to Courts martial to try civil offences—by consigning the most noble citizens to most degrading punishments—and by establish ing a 'police that left no sanctuary unviolated.—( Hear.) Poland like Belgium flew to arms, but saw no armies or fleets come to her aid ; she was pitied, and left to perish.— (Hear.) If the treaty was at an end, as Nicholas says, then Poland is left to assert her national rights, and were we not bound to assist Poland by interest, as well as by duty ? Where could we find so powerful a safeguard for the liberty of Europe against the encroachments of Russia ?—( Hear.) It was asserted by many, that the revolution of Poland was confined to the aristocracy ; nothing could be less true. Serfship was abolished in Poland, and the rights of her patriots was, and is, the cause of every child of freedom, wherever his lot may be cast, or his cradle rocked,(Hear.) Undoubtedly their primary object was the independence of their dear native land ; but looking at their past history, and their situation, they considered themselves appointed to de fend the liberties of Europe against barbarism and despotism. —(Hear.) They who were careless of the freedom of Poland deserved not freedom for themselves. The stone which closed the sepulchre of the liberty of Poland, might also cover the grave of their own.—(Hear, hear.) That meeting would express feelings common to the people of England, and he would propose a resolution which would probably stimu late other portions of the people to . give expression to their feelings.—(Hear, hear.) The Hon. Gentleman concluded by proposing a resolution condemning in strong terms the conduct of Nicholas to Poland, and declaring the expedi ency of uniting, to call the attention of Government and Parliament to the necessity of restoring Poland to her just rank amongst the nations of the earth.—(Great applause.) The Rev. Dr. WADE seconded the resolution. He con gratulated the Noble Poles present on seeing 'such a crowded meeting assembled to express their sympathy with the brave Poles.—(Hear, hear.) The English public should now express their sentiments on the address of Nicholas ; it bore the stamp of the Holy Alliance. Their principle, was that nothing should be done by the people. They should teach Nicholas that everything should be done by the people, and that they would have nothing from him. The Russian bear said the present doctrines would shake the system of Europe. The 'Press, he should soon find, would shake his power.—(Hear.) He talked of breach of faith ; a pretty fellow he to talk of breach of faith—a per jured miscreant.—(Hear, hear.) He called the Poles rebels. Vattel says, resistance to oppression is the duty of nations. Nicholas was the traitor, and the noble Poles refused to have him, on any terms.—(Hear.) He make the Poles happy, in spite of themselves—yes, by banish ing men—flogging women—and ;murdering children.— (Hear, hear.) He says he will give the Poles protection —it was such protection as vultures give to lambs, covering and devouring.—(Hear.) He said he would destroy War saw, and that it should not be rebuilt in his time. This was a bloody and brutal threat ; and if it were attempted to be executed, he hoped the whole nation would rise and exterminate the monster. He should be treated as a mad dog.—(Hear, hear.) He hoped the Catholic Clergy, whom he honoured, would place themselves at the people's head, and overthrow the tyrant.—(Hear, hear.) He was glad to see so many ladies present. Englishmen were the bro thers of Poland, and Englishwomen should be their sisters, and by their united efforts they would compel Parliament to do its duty,—(Hear, hear.) Public opinion was the voice of God; and it must be obeyed.—( Hear.) M. BARSZCREWIEZ CRESPIN, a Noble Pole, made along speech in his native language, which appeared to produce an excitin g effect on his own countrymen, and was greatly applauded by them. The CHAIRMAN said the meeting would be next addressed by M. Cabbelt, late a Member of the French Chamber of Deputies, who lost his seat by opposing the despotism of Louis Phillippe. M. CABBELT addressed the meeting in French, and de nounced the tyranny of Nicholas and Louis Phillippc, pre dicted the speedy triumph of liberty in France and Poland, and its progress throughout the world. The treaty of Vienna had been guaranteed by England and France ; but though they did not interfere to prevent its violation by the tyrant, Poland could not long be kept prostrate, but would be restored to independence by the patriotism and bravery of her sons, in spite of the tyrant and his Cossacks.—(Hear.) The resolution was agreed to with great acclamation. M. STAWIARSKI, a Noble Pole, addressed the meeting in very good English. In the words of the great Shakspeare he would say, " To be or not to be," was the motto of Po land in the late Revolution—every heart felt bound to avenge the wrongs of all, or fall in the deadly struggle with the barbarian foe.—(Hear, hear.) Poland fell before the dense hordes of the barbarians, and there now reigns in Poland the silence of the grave, only broken by the shriek of despair, when the wretched mother stabs her child to preserve it from being torn from her to undergo sufferings too frightful to contemplate. The remnant of her gallant armies have fled the country they could not save, and have sworn never to return but to avenge her wrongs. They still cherish the hope that all is not lost—that her scattered sons may yet meet in the battle-plain, and frighten the barbarian from the country he had despoiled.—(Hear.) Poland was, and Heaven might again make her a barrier against the Northern Tyrant.—( Hear, hear.) The Poles - now present felt gratitude beyond the power of language to express to those who came to visit unfortunate exiles, and soothe their sufferings. God grant that they may be soon restored to their own country, where they will tell how England succoured their distress, and make the names of their generous friends household words in the mouths of their children.—(Hear.) Life without liberty was not worth possessing. Let them live as freemen, or as freemen die.—(Hear, hear.) The eloquent Gentleman concluded by proposing a vote of thanks to the generous' Chairman, to whom Ireland owed a deep debt of gratitude, whom Eng land acknowledged amongst the most ardent friends of her freedom ; and to their voices of praise and honour would now be joined that of grateful Poland, and the name of O'Connor would be lisped by her children. Another Polish Gentleman seconded the resolution, which passed with great acclamation. Mr. O'CoNNoIt returned thanks in an eloquent speech, after which the meeting separated. SPAIN. EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM AN OFFICER OF RANK IN THE BRITISH AUXILIARY LEGION, DATED BRIVIESCA, NOV. 15. " You are already aware that the original cause of the British Legion being carried to and concentrated at Bil boa was not on account of any advantages in the position of that place, but solely for the purpose of assisting so important a commercial to.vn, and relieving it from the rigorous state of blockade in which it then was. The cause of the legion having remained there after having contributed to effect this oject, was for the double pur pose of covering the construction of the new works, deemed requisite to put the town in a state of security, while at the same time the legion was in a position to receive and equip the new levies daily arriving from England. Bilboa, as connected With the theatre of ope rations and the present state of the Queen's army (which, owing to the small number of troops disposable to Ge neral Cordova, is principally confined to Alava and Na-, varre), is, under these circumstances, a bad position, and, in point 'of fact, a perfect cul de sac. " The works around Bilhoa, whether from want of funds, or the.insufficient exertions of the civil authorities, did not so rapidly proceed in their construction as might have been expected, but being sufficiently raised and enclosed to ad mit of their occupation, the LieutenantXreneral no longer wished to delay fulfilling the intentions of the Government, and of the General-in-Chief, Cordova, to march on Brivi esca or Vittoria, central points as affecting the operations of the army. Accordingly, on the 30th of October, the very "day after the works around Bilboa were declared to be suf ficiently enclosed (though far from being finished) to be defended against any sudden attempt of the enemy, the whole legion commenced its march, accompanied by the di vision of General Espartero, on the left bank of the river, crossed the suspension bridge at the Bercena convent, and moved on Barracaldo, when the auxiliaries turned to the right to Portugalette and adjacent places, while General Espartero prosecuted his march to Zornorostro, where there was not room for the whole force. " The more direct course (and it had been suggested to proceed by that line) would have been via Durango to Vit toria, and it had indeed been expected that the Legion was to have marched by that route ; but though that line of road is good and shorter, it passes through the strongest woods and defiles, and runs over one of the most formidable mountain passes in Spain, and even in Europe, and which it is impossible to turn. " A large portion of the Legion were in the most crude state of organization. Many of the battalions had not been embodied sufficiently long to acquire the use of their arms, and not even to have practised firing with ball or blank cartridge. It would, therefore, have been the height of ab surdity to risk committing such raw levies under such very great disadvantages, in the midst of defiles, to the attacks of an enemy confessedly wily, and so well versed in that species of warfare ; it would, in point of fact, have been playing the game of the enemy, and the intended march of the Legion was well known for several days preced ing it. In the hope of its proceeding by that route, COURT CIRCULAR. Count Sebastiani, the French Ambassador, M. Van de 'Weyer, the Belgic Minister, Baron Cetto, the Bavarian Minister, Baron de Moncorvo, the Portuguese Minister, and Mr. Colquhoun, transacted business yesterday at the office of the Secretary of State for Forei g n Affairs.

HOURS OF FACTORY LABOUR.—We hear that the persons who' call themselves the " short time committee," are recommencing their system of agitation, and that they have issued circulars to the members of Parliament con nected with this district to attend them at a meeting which is to be held at the Albion Hotel, we believe, on Wednes day evening next. —Manchester% Guardian. VICTORIA THEATP A. ! - This house wa: crowded to excess last Ili, t, to withers fie performance of a grand historical drag:one spect4lo, entitled The Jewess, founded on M. Scribe's cekhated o?era La Juice.. Mr.' Moncrief, by whom the piecelvas written, and under whose direction it was produced, has, 'w, think, greatly improved it, by changing the catastrophe a sceoc of the deepest affliction to one of unexpected de liverance and joy. The piece opens with the proelamaf t ion of a grand religious feztival in the city of Constance, fol lowed by' a splendid procession, headed by Cardinal' de Broguy (Mr. Gann), and a number of ecclesiastics in tlieir robes, on their way to the principal church, to assist at the celebration of high mass. Tv o pages bear the Cardinals train, and the priests, arrayed in the vestments worn 'on solemn festivals, are preceded by a number of beautiful boys, tossing censers. While the people without are. kneel ing, .some sounds proceed from the house of Eleazar lliendizabal, the Jew of Constance (Mr. Archer), when it is discovered that he has profaned the Christian Sab bath. He is immediately dragged forth, together with his daughter Rachel (Mrs. Selby), and condemned by the Cardinal to quit Constance, in three days, at the peril of his life. In the tumult that ensues the father and daughter are on the brink of destruction, when they are saved by the interference of Prince Leopold (Mr. Hicks), who is in love with the Jewess, and by whom he is beloved, though she then only knows him as one of the Jewish race. For this important service to himself and his daughter, the Jew takes the disguised Prince into his friendship, and forces him to assist at the Jewish feast of the Passover, where Rachel first discovers that her lover is a Christian. Her distress is unbounded, as she knows that the laws have placed an inseparable barrier between their union. She first entreats him to become a Jew, but on his refusal she declares herself ready to - renounce her faith rather than lose him. The Prince rejects her ; and in her despair, having accidentally discovered his rank, she accuses him with the crime of holding commerce with her, con trary to the laws of Constance. The Prince is seized, and both are thrown into prison. Immediately before the trial the Princess Eudocia (Miss H. Palmer) entreats-the Jewess to spare the Prince's life, to which, after the most earnest solicitation, she consents. On her trial she with draws the charge, whereupon both herself and her father are condemned to be cast alive into a cauldron of boiling oil. The sentence is about to be executed, when the Jew acknowledges that Rachel is not his child, but the daughter of the Cardinal who condemned her to death, upon which the lives of both are reprieved, and Rachel falls into the arms of Prince Leopold, her lover and de- liverer. As a spectacle, the Jewess cannot be exceeded in bril liancy. The scenery, dresses, and decorations were mag nificent. The gardens of the Emperor's palace, looking over the beautiful bay of Constance, with the deep blue horizon in the distance, and warm sunny sky above, were equal to anything of the kind we ever witnessed. The dancing was in the best taste. Judging from the number of the corps dranzatique which must have included near two hundred persons, if not quite so many, we should hardly conceive that any amount of patronage would cover the expenditure of the establishment, if conducted on so grand a scale. Of the acting we are not disposed to say much. Those who go to see the Jewess must rather expect to be charmed with the spectacle, than delighted with any surpassing abi lity in the performers. Mr. Archer was well received as the Jew, and Rachel found an able and efficient repre sentativd in Mrs. Selby, who, after the performance, re ceived the thanks of the house. Miss H. Palmer, who made her first appearance on the London boards last night,, has an agreeable countenance and a good figure, but her voice is quite broken. There is neither melody nor softness in it ; and there was a want of dignity, or rather stateliness, in her walk, which it will require much care, and a good deal of self-possession to correct. Her reception by the house was marked by no indication of censure or applause. We would recommend the managers to have the Jewess considerably curtailed. Several of the scenes would be impioved by a judicious abbreviation of tho more tedious dialogues. The silly speeches put in the mouth of the English Esquire might be all erased without the slightest disfigurement of plot, incidents, or characters. ADELPHI THEATRE.—The objections made to the burlesque of The Jewess, which was to have been per formed last night, have been removed by the Chamberlain. We understand there were certain passages which it was thought might be applied in ridicule of an important City functionary. The burlesque will be played to-night. Mr. Brabant opens his new theatre on Thursday, with a new grand Opera, the music of which is, as before stated, by Mrs. A'Beckett. Notwithstanding the difficul ties attendant on the opening of a new building, this Opera will be produced on the first night, on a scale of expense and. splendour not usually attempted in small establish ments. The scenery alone, which is by Andrews, Marinari, Hillyard, and Tomkins, will of itself cost nearly one thou sand pounds. MASQUERADE AT THE LOWTIILIL Rooms.— The second masquerade for the season was given last night at the Lowther Rooms. This place is better calculated for an entertainment of this kind than the English Opera-house, or the minor theatres. There is but one entrance, and therefore the services of three or four trusty doorkeepers can prevent improper characters from getting in ; and as there are no dark avenues, and no enclosed boxes, it is diffi cult for the abominations to be perpetrated here which cad. so easily be carried into - practice at other places. The mese querade itself last night had, however, as an entertainment, but little to boast. It went off but heavily—dullness was the order of the night, and if there was not much to offend there was still less to please. The dancing was tolerably good, but it was carried on without spirit. Characters, properly speaking, there were none ; there were certainly several scores of awkward lads in garbs and masks which concealed their features, but exposed their incapability of filling any other character than their destiny had designed them. The females were last night clothed in female at tire, no beings of the doubtful gender offended either the male or female part of the audience, and a sort of compara tive decorum was observed throughout the whole enter tainment. Another feature in the affair was, that the wines were cheaper than they usually are at places of this sort, and the supper was equally good, at about half the price of • what is usually charged. It is to be hoped that what mas querades are gig en will be given here or at some similar place, and that the annoyance of drunkenness and profli gacy which a week or two back disgraced Catherine-street and the streets adjacent, on occasions of a similar entertain ment, will not be permitted by those whose duty it is to see the peace preserved, again to annoy and disgust the respectable householders of the neighbourhood and their families. MEETING OF HOTELKEEPERS.—LI consequence of the frequency of robberies committed at hotels, several meetings of a private nature have taken place, with the view of forming an association to prevent future crimes of that nature. Last night, in consequence of an advertisement, a number of gentlemen assembled at the Piazza Hotel, in Covent-garden. There were present Mr. Ibbotson, Mr. Lovegrove, Mr. Woods, Mr. Payne, Mr. Humbert, Mr. Markwell, Mr. Chaplin, Mr. Harrison, Mr. Hewett, Mr. Ball, Mr. Stannard, Mr. Pagliani, Mr. Ashton, Mr. Rock-• . ley, &c. Mr. Ibbotson was called to the Chair. Some discussion took place respecting the most proper mode of proceeding to effect the object which they had iu view. It was suggested that the association, which was at first pro posed to prosecute offenders, was not the best mode. What was required was an association to protect the entire body from the frequent losses to which they were subjected by the numerous depredations which are constantly committing in the hotels. Several gentlemen delivered their opinions respecting the present law, which compelled innkeepers to make good losses, which law, it was contended, ought to be • revised, as it was an unjust law. It would, therefore, be necessary to petition Parliament to revise the law in that respect, which bears so very heavily on all hotslkeepers.
