The following letter, containing some informa tion on the movement in Poland, is dated St. Peters burg, the 4th inst. :—" No newspaper here has dared to refer to the events which have occurred is Warsaw. The visits of the foreign diplomatic agents to Prince Gortschakoff have become more frequent. The Commander-in-Chief of the Gendarmerie and the head of the secret police have frequent inter views with the Emperor. The Ministers are likewise frequently summoned to attend the Czar. He has commanded that M. Karintzki, the secre tary of the Government at Warsaw, shall come to St. Petersburg: Several Polish students here asked permission to return to their own country, but their request was refused. Orders have been given to the commander of the let corps d'armee to march into Poland. Our young officers are dreaming of a campaign, for it is gene. rally expected that an insurrection will break out, like the one in 1830. The Government officials repeat that the present difficulties arise from the too great toleration granted to the Poles. They assert that tranquillity in Poland can only be main tained by ruling with a rod of iron. Such is like wise the opinion of the Councillor of State, D olgo rouki. In fact, it is difficult to believe that the Government will restore the self-government of Poland. The object of Russia is to advance into Germany, and with that view the Govern ment has constructed a quadrilateral of for tresses between the Vistula, the Narew, the Bug, and the Wreprz. The fortresses are Modlin, four leagues from Warsaw; Litewski, Zaneuse, and Demblin, without counting the citadel of Alexander, at 'Warsaw. It is one of the strongest military positions in the world, after that of Venetia, and the Emperor of Russia will not abandon it, for he menaces thence the Austrian and Prussian pro vinces. This position, (moreover, :cost Russia too much money, so that the Emperor has no serious intention of replacing Poland in the position she held previous to the insurrection of 1830. Count Mauzanieu Dumouski, Governor of Eastern Siberia, at present in Paris, is replaced by General Korsa kent. Prince Paskiewitsch, son of the late field marshal, is relieved from his post of Inspector of Regiments of Light Infantry. He has been selected to invest the King and Queen of Naples with the insignia of the Order of St. George." The letters from Paris mention a report that the Government contemplate raising £12,000,000 in 5 per sent. bonds, with five years to run. This is partly in conse quence of inability to float the ordinary Bons de Tresor at their present rates. THE KING OF PRUSSIA.—The ceremony of doing homage to the new King will take place at Konigsberg in the beginning of Rule, and in Berlin about the 10th of that month. Their Majesties will remain at Konigsberg for five days. About ate middle of June her Majesty in tends to go to Coblentz and thence to Baden-Baden. " A letter from Venice," says the Nord," informs us that the speech of Prince Napoleon has not produced less effect in Venetia than in the other parts of the Italian peninsula. The Academy of Moral and Political Sciences, Paris, on Saturday elected M. Drouyn de Lhuys as mem ber in the room of the late M. llorace Say. THE LUJIINOUB COVERING OP THE SUN.—At an ordinary meeting of the Manchester Literary and Philoso phical Society, on the sth inst., Dr. Joule, president, in the chair, Mr. Joesph Sidebotham read a paper "On the Structure of the Luminous Envelope of the Sun," being a communication to him from James Nasmyth, Esq., of Penshurst. Mr. Nasmyth has made the discovery, that the entire surface of the sun is composed of objects of the shape of a willow leaf ; the objects average about 1,000 miles in length, and 100 in breadth, and cross each other in all directions, forming a network ; the thickness of this does not appear to be very great, as through the interstices the dark or penumbral stratum is seen, and it is this which gives to the sun that peculiar mottled appearance so fami liar to observers. These willow-leaf shaped objects are best seen at the edges of a solar " spot where they appear luminous, on a dark ground, and also compose the bridges which are formed across a spot" when it is mending up; the only approach to symmetrical ar rangement is in the filaments bordering the spot, and those composing the penumbra, which appears to be a true secondary stratum of the sun's luminous atmosphere ; here these bodies show a tendency to a radial arrangement. Al though carefully watched for, no trace of a spiral or vortical arrangement has been observed in these filaments ; thus setting aside the likelihood of any whirlwind-like action being an agentin the formationof the spots as has bees conjectured to be the case. The writer does not feel warranted at present in hazarding any conjectures as to the nature and functions of these remarkable willow-leaf shaped objects, but intends pursuing the investigation of the subject this summer, and hopes to lay the results before the British Association during their meeting in this city. The paper was illus trated by three beautiful drawings. No. 1 represented one of the willow-leaf shaped objects; No. 2 the luminous sur face of the sun as being entirely composed of these objects ; and No. 3 a large drawing of a solar spot as seen on the 20th of July, 1860, exhibiting the surface of the sun com posed of these objects, ae also the penumbra and the bridge across the dark portion of the spot in which the exact shapes of these objects were to be seen most clearly. Mr. Side botham stated that the image of the sun was examined by Mr. Nasmyth with a mirror,of plane eats, set at an angle of 45 degrees ; nearly the whole of the light anj heat of the sun passed through the glass, and the rays used were ,th(The only reflected from its surface. COMMERCIAL BANK OF LONDON. SPECIAL GENERAL MEETING (THIS DAY.) A special general meeting was held this day at the Com mercial Bank of London, Lothbury, for the purpose of re ceiving a report front the board of directors of an agreement ,entered into by the board with the London and Westminster Bank for an advance by the London and Westminster to this bank, and for the transfer of the business of the Com mercial to the, Westminster. MARS HUNTER, Esq., occupied the chair. After reading the advertisement, The CHAIRMAN said they were aware of the disaster that had called them together, and without detaining them with any preliminary statement he would proceed to read the re port of the directors. The document stated that late one Friday night information was given to the directors that the bank had been robbed to the extent of £67,000 by a ledger keeper named Durden, and a meeting of the directors was summoned the following morning, and at the meeting it was decided to obtain assistance at the earliest moment. The London and Westminster being the largest establishment, the directors were applied to, and they agreed to advance a sum of money not exceeding £1,000,000, provided the directors transferred the whole of their business to that establishment. The directors, before adopting this course, fully considered their position, and ' found there were three courses open to them, either to close the doors of the bank, which would create a panic in the com mercial world, to stand a run which was inevitable, or to make some such arrangement as the directors had adopted. If, as he said before, the doors had been closed, the share holders would have been involved in great expense. The bank was in a position to stand a run, but with money at 8 per cent. the cost would have been enormous, and the result would have been after fighting that battle that little worth possessing would be left at the conclusion of the contest. The assistance of the London and Westminster was preferred, and an arrange.. ment was made with that bank for a transfer of the business, and the reason the arrangement was so speedily concluded was, that the London and Westminster positively refused to enter into any arrangement after a run on the Commercial Bank had once commenced. The directors thought that the course they had adopted was the wisest, and they confidently anticipated that the whole of - the shareholders' capital would be returned to them in full. (Hear, hear.) The agreement between the Westminster and Commer cial Banks was then read, it was to the effect that the assistance asked should be rendered in the event of the transfer of the business of the bank to the Westminster. The report of Mr. Jay of the firm of Quilter and Ball, of the accounts of the bank, in which it was stated that the actual sum of which the bank had been defrauded by bur den was £66,992 7s. 2d., was read. Mr. CuTBILL, the manager, then read a statement of the affairs of the bank on the evening preceding the discovery of the robbery. After noticing the paid-up capital of the bank and other items, it went on to show that in four weeks the bank had paid off £600,000 of its liability from its own resources. They held securities to the extent of £777,690 to meet outstanding liabilities of £470,000. (Hear, hear.) He said he had felt certain that in two months from the present time the Commercial Bank, as a bank, would be entirely out of debt to the whole of the shareholders. The CHAIRMAN then moved a resolution confirming the agreement entered into by the directors with the directors of the London and Westminster, which having been seconded, Mr. FISRER said he thought the directors had taken a course which he thought the proprietors would think was wise and judicious, because thereby they had all been saved great anxiety and trouble, and he should not wonder the least at the London and Westminster coming forward to pay their usual half•yearly dividend (laughter.) He did not see there was anything so out of the way in such a proceeding. The Westminster had made a very profitable bargain, and if they paid the £12,000 which the dividend amounted to, they would make a profit then by their business of over £40,000. (Hear, hear.) So the meeting would see that it was not such an unwise act for the London and West minster after all. If the directors had had time to arrange the transfer of their business, he felt sure the Westminster would have been only too happy to give considerably more than £12,000 for such a good and ready-made business. But the directors had to decide in a few hours, and he could not resume his seat without again saying, that the directors had done the best thing they could for the shareholders under the circumstances of the case. The resolution was then put to the meeting and carried inimously. After a short discussion, another resolution, appointing several of the skareholders to act with the directors in finally arranging the affairs of the bank was agreed to, and the meeting adjourned. THE ARMSTRONG GUN. At the moment of going to press, our attention was attracted by a most extraordinary statement made to the House of Commons by Mr. Baring on Friday night. That gentleman has chosen, we suppose on information derived from the Woolwich department, to impugn our statement of the Ist inst. Our reply is simple. We challenge that gentleman to produce General Crofton- and Major Hay's confidential report already refused to the House. If the Government venture to publish these, every word that we have stated will be found to be more than sustained. The 9 pounder brass gun, after receiving six shots at 20 yards, was still serviceable, inasmuch as grape and canister could still be fired from it, as well as shot and shell. The indentations of the bore were not quite equal to the tenth of an inch, and the whole of these in dentations could have been removed on the field in one hour and a-half, with a rose-cutter similar to those supplied with every one of Sir W. Arm strong's guns when on service. This done, and the gun would have been as good for service as ever. Let the Government say or do what they will, the system of Sir William Armstrong is defective in mechanical principle and arrangement, and can never remain in the service. The statement of Mr. Baring on the cost of the gun confirms our reports. Divide the money expended by the num ber of guns which he states have been produced, and the cost of each gun remains more than we have mentioned. Let Mr. Baring inquire of the department how much work remains to be done, and what cost is incurred at Woolwich, after the guns have been delivered from Elswick ; and at whose expense the Chamber of Horrors at Wool wich is so amply furnished. Lastly, we entreat Mr. Baring to acquire more precise information of the departments before he again makes a statement to the House on this subject.—Mechanics' Magazine. The Great Eastern is appointed to sail for New York on the Ist of May next, under the command of Captain the Hon. S. T. Carnegie, R.N.—the Directors having, apparently, decided not to re-engage Capt. Vine Hall, who, it will be remembered, was appointed com mander on the death of Captain Harrison. SERIOUS ACCIDENT AT THE UNDERGROUND RAILWAY.—About nine o'clock yesterday morning, as se veral navvies were at work on the tunnelling in the Mary lebone-road, at the top of Northumberland-street, for the Underground Railway, a heap of earth gave way of about the weight of five tons, which buried a man named Allen. The earth was quickly removed by his fellow navvies, whe succeeded in extricating him, but in an insensible state. He was taken by Wheeler, 303 D, who assisted in his re lease, to St. Mary's Hospital, where it was found that both bis legs were broken, and one of his thighs was crushed. There are but little hopes of his surviving the accident. PAPER DUTIES.—The return moved for by the Earl of Camperdow n has been printed. The quantity of paper manufactured in this countryinlBsBwas 192,847,8251 b, in 1859 217,287,1971 b, in 1860 223,575,2851 b—a consider able increase in each year. So recently as 1848 the quantity was only 121,820,2291 b. The net produce of the duty was £1,103,754 in 1858, £1,258,464 in 1859, £1,321,105 in 1860. The net produce of the Customs duty on paper imported into this country was £9,886 in 1858, £14,941 in 1859, and and £27,236 in 1860. The paper duty therefore brings in more than half as much as the income tax on trades and professions produces at its original rate of 7d. THE OXFORD AND CAMBRIDGE EIGHT-OARED RACE.—The Oxford orew have, as we are informed, arrived at their headquarters, Mr. John Kirby's, the White Lion Hotel, Putney. The great event is fixed for Saturday, March 23, starting about 11.30 a.m. We doubt not a pleasant, active, and diligent week will be spent by both crews on the Thames water. The Cambridge crew, as on former occasions, locate themselves at the Star and Garter. HER, MAJESTY'S GUNBOAT FORWARD. --ADMI RALTY, March 18,—Accounts have this day reached the Admiralty by which the apprehensions entertained for the safety of her Majesty's gunboat Forward have been en tirely removed.—The vessel reached Esquimalt harbour in safety on the 25th of January. A letter from Corfu of the 12th says :--" The draft of the reply to the message of the Lord High Com missioner, proposed in the lonian Parliament, declared that the s s Englisheof pro t ec torate ought to be Co ns id ered as the sole cause of su fferings of the loni an I s l ands. One o member recommended a vote in favour of annexation to Greece, and another read a memoir against the English protectorate, and announced that the document should be addressed to the Governments and populations of Europe. In consequence of these incidents, the Parliament has been adjourned for six months." The Opinione of Turinsays Lord Seymour, on leaving Venice, had his luggage passed at the Custom house as usual, and was about to enter the r ailway station, when he was stopped by two Customs officers, who began to search his pockets, and asked him whether he had any thing liablo to duty. The English diplomatist was so i n _ dignant at this treatment that he struck one of them in the face with his fist, and called them vile myrmidons. Not withstanding the apologies of the commissary of police, who hastened to the spot, his lordship exclaimed in good Italian that the Austrian Government was worse than the Turkish and that the journals only told the truth in relating the vexations to which foreigners were exposed.

The Liverpool Stipendiary Magistrate was occu pied yesterday in the investigation of a charge of murder, preferred against Joaquin Fransisco, a Brazilian sailor, belonging to the Spanish vesse Antonio. The deceased's name was also Fransisco, a Spaniard. In the course of Sunday evening the prisoner went to the boarding-house kept by Florentine, in Carpenter's-row, where several other Spanish sailors lived. On arriving at Florentine's, the prisoner passed at once into the inner kitchen, where there were several of the boarders at the time, and as he went in, he in some way pushed against the servant girl, who made some complaint, on which the deceased called out not to make a noise there as the master would not allow it. On this the prisoner said it was none of his (deceased's) business; to which deceased replied that he would make it his busi ness. The prisoner then challenged the deceased to fight, and the latter saying, " Very well," went out into the street. Two or three others followed, and soon afterwards the prisoner came out. With out saying a word, he rushed through those who were standing by, and made a cut at deceased's neck with something having a white blade, which was in his hand. Neither the prisoner nor the deceased had said a. word outside of the house up to this time. Immediately on being struck, blood gushed out of the neck of the deceased in a copious stream, and the prisoner ran off. The deceased died in less than ten minutes. It appeared that the prisoner had boarded in the house of a man named Philip Joseph, and that this man Joseph was at Florentine's at the time of the dispute. Suspicion at first fell on him, and he was seized as the murderer, his wife being also present. She proceeded home, and in a short time after her arrival there the prisoner came in, apparently quite cool and collected, and went up stairs and changed his shirt, putting theone he had taken off into the box and locking it. When he had done this Mrs. Joseph accused him of having committed the murder of which her husband was accused, and insisted on his being detained till her husband was exonerated. The prisoner did not say anything, and while Mrs. Joseph was endea vouring to detain him, a police-officer arrived and took him into custody. So soon as he say the officer the prisoner made a violent effort to get away, and finding that he could not do so, he drew a knife, and made several attempts to cut the officer across the abdomen. He was at length over powered and secured, but not before he had suc ceeded in throwing a razor into the fire. It is with this instrument that he is supposed to have corn. mitted the murder. The prisoner was remanded till to-day, when he will be committed for trial at the assizes on the charge of wilful murder, Wine, called Valerio, two thousand years old, has been dug out of the ruins of Pompeii. MR. SPURGEON AND THE " SATURDAY REVIEW' --In a speech addressed to a meeting of the Aberdeen Young Men's Christian Association, on Wednesday, Mr. Spurgeon said—" I remember, in the streets of Londo i n, man took off his hat and bowed to me—' The Rev. Mr. Spurgeon—a great humbug.' I took off my hat too, and said—' I am obliged to you, Sir, that I am a great any thing; I an afraid you are great at nothing.' (Much laughter and applause.) We passed on, parting very ami cably. I have not had the pleasure of meeting him since, but I felt highly flattered that day. (Laughter.) One thing I always like to have—the hatred of the Saturday Review, and the love of God. (Applause and laughter.) No movement can ever hope to be established as a good movement until it has had both. When it has both then it is all right. When you have the hatred of the Saturday Review, you may be quite sure it is according to the mind of Ged. Ido not know how it is that that magazine has attained to such precision of judgment that it never makes a mistake at all." (Laughter.)
