CommeriCe st 7. The Warrior has gone out to look for a storm, which the present state of the weather gives pro mise that she will not seek in vain. If her success be as complete in heavy weather as it has proved in Stokes Bay, we may well be proud of our first ironsides. That she will roll heavily in a sea way there can be little doubt. Some ships may make " better weather" of a gale than others, but all must be influenced more or less by the action of the ocean. The Great Eastern rolled like a log when in the trough of the sea, although it was fondly hoped by her admirers that the elements would not affect her. The Albion, a two-decker, again, when in the Channel squadron of evolution some years ago, rolled so heavily that she could only run out her maindeek guns, being unable to open her lower deck ports, while the Canopus, likewise a two decker, was able to fire her whole broadside. Therefore, should the Warrior prove herself to be a stiff and steady vessel, as she has shown herself to be a fast one, it does not follow that all iron-clad ships must be the same. So, on the other hand, should she roll her masts out, that will be no reason why other iron-sided ships may not be constructed wherein such disadvantages may be avoided. It is very foolish, not to say presumptuous, to prejudge work 3 of which, from their very nature and novelty, nobody has as yet had the opportunity of testing the merits. Theory is all very well, but as everyone has a particular theory of his own on most subjects, practice must eventually decide which theory is the most ser viceable. Regarding the use of iron versus wood in the construction of ships of war, great contention existed among naval men ; and it was not until it was discovered that the splinters of the iron, when a shot struck the side of an iron vessel, were more fatal to the crew than the shot itself, that wood again came into general favour, and iron was used only for transports and packet boats. Armour plates have now reopened the controversy. We speak of armour plated ships, not those murderous in object and absurd in reality, steam rams, invented by our faith ful ally, which to succeed in their object would re quire to carry a nautical basilisk on the prow to charm the foe into inactivity to enable the mighty ram to run her down. While yet the matter was pending, before the Warrior had made her sea-going capabilities known, even before her trial in Stokes Bay, we • think, Admiral S.kIRTORIUS, in an article in the United Service Maga zine, should not have made a comparison between that vessel and the much lauded La Gloire. While giving the gallant Admiral all credit for his good intentions, we cannot understand why he considers it necessary to condemn every attempt of 1 the Board of Admiralty to improve the navy. That their shortcomings are many we admit,and that they are themselves awake to that fact,the opportune departure of Admiral Sir B. WALKER, when his evi dence was wanted by a Parliamentary committee, fully testifies, but nemo niortalium omnibus horis errat ; and now that an endeavour is being made to keep pace with our warlike neighbours, we do not consider that it is fair to condemn untried a vessel which in her recent trial has proved herself to be so perfect. Admiral SARTORIUS, taking for granted that the Gloire is speedier than the Warrior (which it has been proved she is not), endeavours to show that she is in all points a superior vessel. He tells us that because the Gloire is only half the tonnage of the Warrior, and that the Gloire having engines of 1,000 horse power, and the Warrior engines of 1,280, the power is in favour of the smaller vessel in the propor tion of about 3 to 2. Being built by one of the first architects in France, and with lines for great speed, he presumes that with her comparatively greater horse power she will have the advantage in speed. Trial has proved the contrary ; and the basis on which the gallant Admiral has founded his theory for every other advantage the Gloire Was to obtain over her supposed antagonist falls to the ground, and he will have to take up a new P t the "end n be f ore s hecan make a fresh attack. At article, which is cleverly written, although founded th d 1 s in r o a u i g v h i c o t u u t r u e p o o f n w f h a laste might principles, hap pen, he drawn b• ~, ou t • beaten, our dockyards in flam re s, ;Ana provid e d our nev,-.. ~,e Lund,,,in the I destroyed, our arm y I' ands of the French. We do not contemplate any 1 , such catastrophe. What Englishmen dare do when at bay has been proved by our soldiers in many a But what they w ill do when desperate def ence. their native land is invaded, the world has yet to learn. We can fancy, as in olden times the beacon fi res roused the co untr y , the electric tele g r aph flashing the infor m ation throughout the length and breadth of the land, that 500,000 French- men were marching on London. Messrs. COBDEN, BRIGHT, and the rest of the Peace-at-any-Price men, who, by reducing our navy, and had suffered the foe to land, and by reducing our army had rendered it impossible to offer a successful resistance, would then do well to hide in their cellars to avoid the just indignation of the people whose confidence they had abused. All the availabl'a forces in the country would be concentrated in thea metropolis before the enemy could reach it. But take the worst view of the case, even Admiral SARTORTUB'S, grant all the disasters which he paints to have taken place' would England have been conquered ? Britons have not become accustomed to periodical invasion and occasional conquest like continental nations, and will not readily exchange free institutions for foreign despotism, or submit to dictation from men whom their forefathers defeated both at sea and on their own soil. No ; while England can bring forward to defend her freedom five millions of able bodied men, not Europe combined would invade her with impunity. We do not make these remarks with any hostile feeling to our gallant neighbours, but to express our contempt for those of our own countrymen who cry before they are hurt, and would make it appear that the ancient chivalry and cou rage of their native land are dead. Cedant arnza togae, Mr. SEWARD may now fairly write, as he contrasts his own performances with those of the military men. The Secretary beats hollow M'CLELLAN himself, and FREMONT, and ROSENCRANTZ, and BANKS, and all of them put together. Done so promptly, too. On October the 14th Lord LYONS marches to the diplomatic attack, manceuvring to the best of his skill; the gentlemen learned in the law, who advise her British MAJESTY'S Government, with our Foreign Secretary and the Government of England to boot ; it seemed a formidable muster—Potomac tactics might have been looked for; a week or two taken to muster a consultation with the Federalist law yers, and to lick an answer into shape, would hare been but natural. But Mr. SEWARD was not a United States general; no delay; on the selfsame day Lord LYONS receives his answer in full ! The explanations complete, and a warning to British law yers, Ministers, and Ambassadors to mind their own business, were all on Lord LYONS' desk on this same 14th October, 1861. We repeat, looking at military operations, Mr. SEWARD is entitled to exclaim with as great a boaster as himself, cedant arms togae, concedat laurea laudi. The explanation given in regard to the two in dividuals of whose arrest Lord LYONS complains, every Englishman must acknowledge to be satisfac- tory. There was fair presumption of treachery to the North in PATRICK'S case, and something rather stronger in RAHMING'S. We do not see that either of them had anything to complain of in the circum stances of a Government fighting for its very exist ence. Neither can we see that the Government is much to blame for suspending the operations of the Habeas Corpus Act. It has been done in England in far less trying circumstances ; and it must be ad mitted that if the measure be necessary for self defence we can but respect the man who is willing to assume the responsibility re quired by the occasion. Mr. LINCOLN'S weakness has lain in the other direction. From the beginning, instead of assuming the responsibility demanded by the facts of the case, he has paltered with Se cession, ignored facts with the action they required, stood upon the letter of the constitution, and weakly dealt with the South, as if he must respect its letter to his own overthrow. Even now his refusing the responsibility of negro emancipa tion, has probably settled the great issue against him. Whining over the iniquitous clause in the constitution which sends back the slave to his master, he has made all the negroes his enemies, or at least the most useful coadjutors of the Southern army, when he might have made them its weak ness. The goodwill of the negro was the turning weight for the balance ; he threw it into the scale of the South. At the same time, Mr. SEWARD cannot maintain altogether his assertion that Mr. LINCOLN has a right to interpret the Constitution as he pleases, as against foreigners. Much may no doubt be said in extenuation of any illegalities towards foreign residents in the States, if they are dealt with pre cisely as natives are. Still, much may also be said for the view that documents like the American Con stitution are international, as well as domestic docu ments. Our own Acts of Parliament we must con fess to be so. If a Frenchman, here, were hung for manslaughter, the Government having taken on it the responsibility, for some temporary purpose, of hanging instead of imprisoning all persons convicted of that offence, M. THOUTENEL might, we think, have fair ground of complaint. He might allege that the law was a known condition of Eng lish life—that a Frenchman in coming to England came relying on the regular, not the arbi trary administration of the law; he might contend that if the natural subjects of the QUEEN tolerated the illegal acts of her Ministers, that was no fair reason why foreign Governments should tolerate them to the wrong of their own subjects, and we do not think it would be competent for Earl RUSSELL to reply to M. THOUVENEL that he could not accept the French Minister's interpretation of legality and illegality in reference to English laws. M. THOUVENEL might still rejoin that it was a fair and reasonable subject for discussion between the two Governments whether there was any really illegal dealing with the Frenchman. He might ap peal to the true meaning of those laws which we ourselves bad made the property not only of the nation, but in a reasonable sense also of all who sought intercourse with us. Viewed in this way we strongly suspect that the committal of the two British subjects was really illegal. We do not, however, complain of their arrest after the explanation given —and of one thing the North may feel amply assured—of the determined neutrality of the British peopir. We have no sym pathy here for British subjects who choose to take part in a quarrel which belongs not to them. In the liberal struggles of Greece, Spain, Italy, Hun gary, we did take an interest. We knew that if the GARIBALDI volunteers were caught by the BOURDON we could not interfere, but we sympa- thised enthusiastically with the cause in which they fought. This is impossible in the case of either the North or the South. When one party is fighting to uphold slave institutions on its own soil, and the other to unite in support of them, England is only displeased with any of her sons who dirty their fingers with such work. To the negro proprietors of the South or the negro haters of the North the Union may seem a good thing or a bad one—to our people it seems bad all round. No feeling is more decided in England than that all who interfere deserve whatever may befal them. We have said that Mr. SEWARD might well claim the prize for promptitude in comparison with the military men, for it seems as if two things were never to be wanting in American telegrams, on both sid es, of Came off ; n a r na ot a stories g rea t of battle i s being u e e e ss e j s u a s n t d a b d o e u f t e a t t o s the r um , -. text to no importance in regard of th e the eearnaign.One thing is con tfeossteh issue de by ya e 0 11, that Confederates y navigation of the Potomac b ba tteries which carry shot quite across the river. Hitherto a great part of the supplies- for the army, the forage for the cavalry especially, have come in small vessels up the river. Now they can only steal past the Confederate batteries at night, and that in such small numbers that we are told a perfect Armada of small craft with supplies are waiting below the Confederate batteries to ascend the river. Occasionally an attempt is made to tug them past under cover of fog or darkness, but they frequently ground and are captured. By the last accounts General BANKS was said to be hotly engaged, about 22 miles above Washington, with the enemy ; it will, we expect, turn out to be but one of those numerous small con flicts which the South especially seems to like pro voking ; for what purpose it is not easy to tell unless to keep their foes on'the alert and to impress them with the belief that they are stronger than they really are. At present M'CLELLAN is creeping along by safe advances into the advanced posts abandoned by the enemy, but keeps a safe distance from the terrible Manassas. The services rendered by the lifeboats are almost incalculable, and during the recent gale their powers have been called into full play on various parts of the coast. After dwelling with interest on the various details which chronicle the successes achieved, it is sad to note one fatal event in the wreck of the Scarborough lifeboat. Among those who lost their lives in endeavouring to save the crew of the lifeboat was Lord CHARLES BEAUCLERK. Two gentlemen on the spot succeeded in throwing a rope and dragging him to land, but it was too late, and life was found to be extinct. It is, however, a great source of satisfaction to his family and friends that he should have lost his life under such circumstances, and the general opinion of the pub lic will ratify the verdict of the jury—" That the de ceased Lord CHARLES BEAUCLERK lost his life accidentally while generously and nobly endeavour ing to save the lives of his fellow-men." Such a death is better than many lives, and no nobler in scription could be placed on his tomb. The details recorded of the scene at Scarborough last Saturday are most painful, and it is not often that such tem pests are encountered. The sea broke upon the sea-wall with such terrific violence that the mas sive stones upon the parapet were dislodged ! It is not to be wondered at that the catastrophe occurred under the circumstances, and it was only remarkable that no more deaths took place. Our readers will rejoice at the signal services rendered in so many places by the lifeboats at Lowestoft, Bridlington Quay, Fleetwood, Banff, Portcawl, Seaton, Carew, Stockton-on-Tees, many lives were saved by the intrepidity displayed by the lifeboat crews. With our dangerous coast, and the difficulty of entering our various ports, the disasters that befall shipping are so numerous that upwards of seven hundred lives are annually lost. Notwith standing that within the last ten years upwards of a hundred new and efficient lifeboats have been placed upon various parts of the coast, this number is quite inadequate to the requirements. The National Lifeboat Institution have been of the greatest benefit to the community, and it is earnestly to be hoped that they will be more efficiently seconded in their efforts to complete this work of national importance. Among those who may be mentioned as benefactors to the cause is Miss BURDETT CouTTs, who has recently given two hundred pounds, in addition to her former donations. This lady has always been conspicuous for her liberality, and she could never employ it better than by fur thering the success and promoting the interests of this noble society. It is one that appeals to the feelings of all who, in this insular land, must have friends who at one tithe or another' are encountering the perils of the deep. When their sojourn abroad is passed, when they return to their families and friends, some tempest may arise that overwhelms the homeward-bound vessel ; and then, but for the Lifeboat Institution, all on board would be lost. Those whose means enable them to give bountifully, will do well to peruse the accounts of last Saturday's transactions by the crews of the various lifeboats, and then they will surely be of opinion that thus bestowed their riches will increase and fructify, and many a mariner rescued from shipwreck and many a family rejoicing, over the loved ones returned from the perils of the deep, will be the witnesses that their gifts have not been valueless but have been the happy means of bringing benefits and bearing blessings to humanity. We have the best source of information to war rant us in positively asserting that at the last Cabinet Council the question of tho propriety of breaking tho blockade of the South American ports was discussed, when it was agreed that no countenance could be given to such a proceeding.—Court Journal. Their Imperial Highnesses the Grand Duke and Duchess Constantine of Russia honoured the establishment of Mr. C. F. Hancock, the jeweller, of Bruton-street, on Saturday last, with a visit immediately after their arrival. The Lord Chancellor has been pleased to appoint H. R.

SUPPOSED AMERICAN PRIVATEER IN THE MEDITERRANEAN. — MALTA, OCT. 25.-official information was morning from the United States Consu r l ec a e t iv A e l d es ess y ina t , e t r h dy a a ta very suspicious American three masted schooner had been for several days cruising in the Faro, wAhout communicating with the shore. She had a very large number of blacks on board, and there is good reason to believe that she is a Secessionist privateer. This news has caused great excitement, as there are a great number of fine American ships engaged in trade with Sicily, Malta, Smyrna, and the adjacent ports. By advices received from India it appears that the Oriental Inland Steam Company's new steamer Indus had just been launched at Kurraehee, and by the departure of next mail was expected to be plying on the Indus. It is anticipated that this vessel will have a speed of 20 miles an hour. Another steamer belonging to the same company, and of equal speed, has arrived safely in Calcutta, and is expected to be plying on the Ganges by the end of the year. The steamer Jumna has also arrived at Calcutta. This is by far the most powerful steamer ever constructed to navi gate the Indian rivers, except her consort the Ganges, be longing to the same company, the arrival of which in Cal cutta was daily expected. The train of barges which will be towed by the Jumna will a , commodate 3,000 measure ment tons of cargo under hatches, and such vessels will consequently be able to carry cotton and other bulky goods with profit at a low rate of freight. WHOLESALE FORGERY BY A SUPERINTENDENT or POLICE.—There was a great general excitement in the town of Epworth, Lincolnshire, on Saturday last, owing to its becoming known that Mr. H. Tooms, superintendent of police for that division of the county, who had absconded a week or two previously, was about to be brought up on numerous charges of forgery. The prisoner was unde fended, The first case taken was a charge of having forged receipts to two bills, delivered to him by Mr. Ben nett, surgeon, of Haxley. He was committed for trial on this and three other similar charges.—Leeds Mercury. A CHILD KILLED BY A PIG.—On Friday a fine child belonging to a poor man living at Killaloonty, adjoin ing this town, was attacked by a pig, and before assistance was rendered the body was so dreadfully mangled that life was almost extinct. COLLISION OFF DovEa.—On Sunday night, at 9.30, as the Guernsey brigantine Orb, from Newcastle to Dartmouth, was passing down Channel, she was run into by a Russian steamer from London to Odessa. The vessel was three miles off Dover Harbour when the accident oc curred. The captain and craw stood by her till she sank, and as she was going down took to the boat. They were unable to reach the harbour till nine next morning. When brought to the Sailors' Home they were in a much exhausted state; some of them were severely bruised on the wreck. WRECK OFF OSTEND.—The Independance Beige of yesterday evening says, during the storm of lost night (Saturday) the English vessel Sarah Huntley, on its way from Sunderland to Odessa, with a cargo of coals, was cast upon the shore to the west of Ostend. The captain and nine men perished in the waves. The car penter and the cabin boy were the only persons saved, and the vessel was entirely lost. I_l r T NEWS. AUSTRIA AND PRUSSIA. BRESLAU, Nov. 5.

Belgium will recognise the kingdom of Italy on the same conditions as it was recognised by France. CONSTANTINOPLE, OCT. 30, (via Messina). There is no truth in the reports which have been current here of a massacre of Christians in Pa lestine. The Governor of Jerusalem has ordered certain towns in Palestine to be militarily occupied, on account of the inhabitants not having paid the taxes. MADRID, Nov. 4 (Evening). An unimportant attempt at insurrection on the part of the Republican party has been made at Medina Colei. The instigators of this attempt have been arrested. It was not necessary to use military force. POLAND. FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT. WARSAW, OCT. 28. Things must be at their worst now in this unfor tunate country. When they will mend it is impos sible to say; certain it is that no nation could long continue in the state in which Poland is at present. With her King, the Czar, somewhere out of reach in the Crimea or the Caucasus ; her Viceroy not yet appointed ; her deputy Viceroy, Count Lambert, absent; his substitute Suchozainet, a narrow minded, decrepid, despicable old man,. whase only idaa of Government is to make men doff their caps in his presence and give every sergeant in the army power ever the lives and properties of the inhabi tants ; her ministers of education and justice, of finance, and of public works sending in their resig nation ; her council of state and municipal and pro visional councils not sitting; her commander-in chief, Gerstenzweig, dying from the effects of an attempt to blow his own brains out; the comman dant of the citadel in her capital, Lowszyn, and the chief of her fire-brigade succumbing under an attack of apoplexy ; all her places of worship, and all her schools, without exception shut up, and the students either imprisoned in the citadels or wan dering about without occupation ; a system of mili tary despotism fermenting the whole administra tion ; the best and noblest of her children crowding the deepest and most unwholesome cells in her fortresses ; her towns turned into camps, her citadels into prisons, her private houses into barracks—it would be difficult for the most barbarous of Eastern tyrants to imagine a system of galling oppression more resembling a hell upon earth than that which prevails in Poland at the present moment. No one, person or property, is safe; one's age, sex, or native country has no effect in protecting him against the savage attacks of the soldiery ; Germans, English men, and even Russians, have bad their share of ill-treatment and outrage at their hands. Mr. Geo. Mitchell, who was severely beaten and wounded on the 15th, has addressed a letter to Lord Russell, complaining of the ill-treatment to which he was so gratuitously subjected; and Mr. White, Vice- Consul at Warsaw, who was also maltreated by the Cossacks on that day and robbed of his watch, has taken steps for prosecuting his aggressors. A commission was appointed with the permis sion of the Government, by the Rev. Mr. Bialobszeski, Administrator of the Arch-diocese of Warsaw, to inquire into the late desecrations ; but its proceedings have been effectually stopped by the wholesale arrest of the whole of its mem bers, together with those who formed the com mittee for the Archbishop's funeral, and some members of the Archbishop's family, the latter apparently for the sole reason that they bear his name. These arrests took place on the night of the 23d. The unfortunate priests were torn from their houses, after the latter had been pillaged of all the valuables they contained. On the night of the 26th the soldiers and police broke into the houses of Messrs. Wyszynski, Specki, Szlenker, and Hiszpanski, all distinguished members of the Council of Warsaw, and dragged them to the citadel, first seizing all the furniture they could carry and destroying the rest. Every species of outrage is committed in the streets. General Suchozainet makes every now and then a sort of progress through the town, preceded by a detach ment of Cossacks, who knock off the hats and bonnets of every one they meet with their pikes. The wearing of sticks, no matter how thin or fragile, is strictly forbidden. This absurdity is carried so far that a lame man was deprived of his crutches by the patrol in the street. The beastly outrages com mitted by the savages who are called Russian soldiers arc so abominable, that I will not offen d your ears by relating them. One e xam p le will suffice. A servant girl was seized by these drunken wretches in tha street, who attempted to sacrifice her to their brutal desires; she resisted so successfully with a bottle she held in her hand that she escaped their violence; but it was only to be subjected to an outrage of another kind. She was accused before the military tribunal of having thrown a bottle at the soldiers while they were occupied in the execution of their duty, and was sentenced to sixteen lashes. The head of the judicial administration is now General Roznow, who has gained an unenviable notoriety at Plock for flogging women. His last achievement was the public flogging of three ladies with rods in front of the church. It is of course idle to expect mercy or justice from such a sangui nary ruffian ; and worthily does he second the sol diers in their brutality. The numberless victims of the Kosciuszko Day that are languishing in the prisons are treated most rigorously ; they are shut up in narrow cells with the windows smeared over, their food is wretched, and they are allowed only five minutes for a walk in the open air. General Lambert has left behind him anything but a favourable impression. His spasmodic fits of cruelty and leniency, the laissez aller nature of his government, altering nothing in the lamentable condition of the provinces, and leaving Warsaw to govern itself; and, finally, the disgraceful attack on the churches on the Kosciuszko Day, which is universally attributed to his fear of the demands of the municipal councils, have disgusted every one with his rule. His policy was eminently a nega tive one, and appears to have been based on the principle to let ill alone. As for his being the temporary viceroy of Poland, he was so in nothing but the title. He was merely Governor of Warsaw; and he was hardly that, unless letting people do as they like be called government. At last, when he found that the natural consequence of his letting go the reins was, that the nation went too fast for him, he made the supreme effort to regain them. He failed, after plunging the capital in blood; and gave up the battle after his first defeat, leaving murder and desolation, the consequences of his own acts, behind him. It is now said that he has gone to Rome to ask the Pope to order the Polish clergy to open their churches—a piece of folly which is a worthy pendant to his former deeds. If the Roman Catholic churches are opened under Government pressure, they will be empty, just as the Protest ant churches in Warsaw are. The resignation of Marquis Wielopolski will not, I hear, be accepted. Poles able and willing to aid Russia in the government of Poland are too seldom met with to be given up easily ; and there can be no doubt as to the ability of Wielopolski, whatever may be the impression at headquarters as to his real intentions. His dreams of Panslavism are, of coarse, highly unpalatable to the Government; but perhaps they think that this is the mildest form in which Polonism developes itself. At any rate, if the objects of the Marquis and the Government are different, they propose to arrive at them by the same means. The first step, in the opinion of both, is to subdue the Poles to Russian Government. Wielo polski looks upon this, and justly, as a sine qua non before his favourite project, the union of Russia with Poland and the other Selavonian States, can be ac complished; and Russia labours equally hard, and by the same means, to assimilate the Polish nation ality to itself. Union is the object of both, although not in the same sense. Wielopolski desires political union ; Russia a national amalgamation and aboli tion of all distinctive marks between Pole and Rus sian. The Poles, who hate the very thought of. any union with Russia, an, on their side, doing all they can to divide the Russians from their country out of pure disgust, that being, in their view, the only chance of regaining independence. Their success is demonstrated by the unanimous opinion of the Russian Liberals, as enunciated in their organs, the Wielikoms and IColokol, that the possession of Poland only brings them disgrace and pecuniary loss, and that the sooner they get rid of such a bad bargain the better. Under these circumstances, it will not be difficult to understand that Wielopolski, as a philo-Russian, and therefore a bad Pole, is perhaps the most un popular man in Poland. It is remarked with bitter indignation that the Marquis only sends in his re signation when some one, such as Suchozainet, whom he does not like, is placed in power ; and that when hundreds of his countrymen and women are butchered and brutally outraged before his eyes, he either sits quietly by, without raising a .word of protest, or pens one more of those bloody edicts for the preservation of " order," of which the Govern. ment of Poland has given us so many specimens. There is a talk here of the appointment of Gene ral Abramowitz, one of the most cruel and uncom promising of the creatures of the late Emperor Nicholas, to the Viceroyalty. It appears that in his letter to St. Petersburg, asking for an appoint ment in Poland, he said, " Make me anything you like—governor, minister, director of police, or Viceroy—and I will undertake to bring back the times of Paskiewicz in six weeks! He will find, however, the Poles of the present day rather diffe rent to those of the times of Paskiewicz. General Gerstenzweig is said to have exclaimed, on the Kosciuszko Day, when he found all his efforts to stir up the Poles to active resistance baffled : " I know how to treat red republicans (les rouges), but what can I do with these moderate rascals (la canaille des 2noderes)?" The Council of State, whose sittings have been suspended during the state of siege, has done the little it has, as usual, in the most perfect seeresy, and with closed doors. The Government paper, the Dziennik Powszechny, gives the following laconic account of its proceedings : " The Financial Department of the Council of State in this kingdom has had under its considera tion the bill relative to mines laid before the Council after the general meeting of the depart ments of the Warsaw Senate, and has made its remarks thereon, The united legislative and finan cial departments of the Council of State have had under their consideration the reports of heads of departments for the year 1860 laid before the Council, and have prepared motions relative thereto; also the bill laid before the Council by the Director of Education and Justice on the civil rights of the Jews. The members of the general meeting in the hall of deliberation have read the reports of heads of departments. At the general meeting of the 4th (16th) of that month, Marquis Wielopolski, by order of the Acting Viceroy, Pre sident of the Council, prorogued it for three weeks." This is the way in which the farce of constitu tional government is played in this country. The " Council of State," the Polish Parliament, is no minated by the Emperor, and deliberates fruitlessly on bills presented by the Minister, and which al ways become law—with closed doors, as if it were transacting affairs of the highest importance, or indeed doing anything of the least consequence ! It would be very difficult to point out a single mea sure which has been altered in any important point, for better or worse, by the Council, who have no power either of initiation or decision. As for their advice, it is listened to by men who have already made up their minds. Some signs of a martial movement in Poland are beginning to show themselves already. Seven carts-full of arms have been stopped on the Prussian frontier; and one of the merchants here has been arrested for sending money abroad for the purchase of arms. What truth there may be in these ru mours I cannot say, but there can be no doubt that the Poles will seize the first opportunity to strike for their liberty. The Russians are, I hear, making great warlike preparations on their whole line of frontier, large masses of troops are being collected along the Dniester and the Kalisz, the fleet is daily increasing in numbers and strength, and Sebastopol has sprung up from its ashes more impregnable than ever. _ _ The state of siege is rigorously enforced in the provinces. At Kole Lieut.-Col. Weimar, the mili tary commandant, fell with his troops on a carriage which was passing through the town, exclaiming " I am your lord, I am your king, I will thrash you with sticks in the market-phce." And he was as good as his word. He dragged the gentlemen out of the carriage, and after savagely ill treating them sent them to prison ; and the ladie:, who had white ribbons on their black dresses (haw i ne ), h a d th e i r clothes torn to pieces by the soldiery. SWITZERLAND. The occupation of the Valley des Dappes by the French troops has created no small sensation throughout Switzerland. A letter from Berne, dated Ist inst., says :-- "The Federal Council has decided that the events which have occurred in the Valley des Dapper shall be officially notified to the Governments of all the cantons by a circular, and that a complaint shall be addressed to the French Government on the subject." A letter, dated Berne, 31st October, says:— _ " Official reports have been received, confirming the news of the occupation of the Valley des Dappes by the French, Yesterday, at 10 a.m., the Council held an extraordinary sitting, in which reports were read from the Council of State of the Canton de Vaud, from the Prefect of Nyon and from the Commander of the Gendarmerie of St. Cargues, which announce positively that on the 28th of October a detachment of soldiers and geEdarmes penetrated the valley of the Dappes, on the pretext of preventing the arrest of an individual. The Federal Council has ordered President de Migy, of Berne, the Vice-President of the C...nton de Vaud, and Colonel Veillon, to proceed forthwith to the spot to investigate the matter." The Conatztutionnel has the following on the subject : " At the very moment that the difference between France and Switzerland respecting the affair of Ville-la-Grand was on the point of being settled, a new conflict has arisen. This time it is the Valley des Dappes, to which France has stated rights in virtue of the final act of the Treaty of Vienna, and which, a few years since, was the subject of fruitless negotiations between • the Govern ment of the Emperor and the Swiss Con federation. In the centre of ' that valley, which has no territorial importance, but which intercepts the communications between Fort des Rousses and the district of Gex, there is the little village of Cressoniere. An individual sentenced by the Court of Nyon to a punishment sought re fuge in that village, and the Vaudois authorities ordered him to be arrested there; but the French gendarmerie has occupied Cressoniere, and pre vented the Vaudois police from doing so. " The Federal Council held an extraordinary sitting on the Ist of November, in which it has been decided to send a note to the Swiss represen tative at Paris to be communicated to' the French Government. It is, moreover, inexact that the Valley des Dappes has been occupied by our troops. " This new incident only proves one thing, the necessity of settling definitively this question of the Valley of the Dappes, which, without having any special importance of its own, is an endless source of difficulties on that portion of our frontier, and we believe that negotiations for that purpose hat e been opened with the Swiss Federal Council." La Patrie says : " Different foreign journals have published false statements respecting the occupation of the Valley des Dappes. For nearly 45 years France has never ceased to claim that territory, which be longs to her in the most incontestable manner, and we believe that an offer has now been made to Switzerland for negotiations for an arrangement which would give every possible guarantee to the Swiss Confederation as regards its neutrality." ,4 , . • *2-7 ' • ai 4 t.

Those events were briefly re corded in our yesterday's impression, With re gard to the circumstances following the stranding of the Coupland, of Shields, it is impossible to describe the scene in detail so as to convey anything like a true idea of its horrors. Between four and five o'clock the vessel attempted the harbour, but could not succeed in entering. She drifted rapidly amid foaming billows that chased each other like huge mad cataracts, until she struck immediately oppo site the Spa Promenade. In the meantime the life boat was manned and sent out to the relief of the schooner's crew. Suddenly a fearful lurch of the boat pitched out two of the boatmen, who were saved by life-buoys. The oars were now dashed out of the hands of the crew, and they were at once rendered power less. -The boat was washed heavily up against the wall, and nothing but her great strength and ex cellent qualities preserved her from being at once dashed to pieces. Ropes were thrown from the boat to the promenade, and she was drawn through tha surf to a landing place at the southern end of the wall. It was here the fatal occurrence took place. Having touched the ground the men jumped out before the water had receded; and seeing the danger they were in, a rush down the incline was made to assist them. In the momentary confusion that ensued another run of the sea came, and nearly all the party were thrown from their feet, and were now scrambling to save their lives. Many succeeded in getting up; but another wave washed off those who were yet below. Two or three times they were borne out and back again. Among these were Lord Charles Beauclerk, Thomas Brewster and John Bur ton (two of the boat's crew), Mr. Sarony, Mr. Ruttet, Mr. S. Rawling, and several others. A large wave was seen to lift the lifeboat with fearful force against the wall, and on her release it was found that the man Brewster, having been between the boat and the wall, was killed with the collision. He instantly fell forward as one dead, and was washed cut to sea. Lord Charles Beauclerk was similarly treated, but he was not killed on the spot. He was washed to the foot of the cliff, where Mr. Sarony and Mr. Rutter went to his assistance. A rope was previously thrown him, but he seemed powerless to grasp it. ' The gentlemen named suc ceeded in fastening a rope round him, and he was drawn up the incline, the life just ebbing out of him. He was conveyed to the Music-hall adjoining, where he was attended by Dr. Lycett, who pronounced him dead. Two or three Others were seen under the boat when she lifted with the waves. One of these was said to be Mr. Wm. Tindall, son of the late John Tindall, Esq., banker, of Scarborough. He has not since been seen. John Barton, another of the boat's crew, was also washed out to sea and lost. Mr. Sarony and Mr. Rutter were swept away, and were recovered with great difficulty. r e tt , t Attention on they was werenow h hauled r e n d e o d ff t s o a f e t lhye bshipwreckedthe ket apparatus. On Sunday evening an inquest was held by Mr. Easton, coroner, on view of the body of Lord Chas. Beauclerk, when many of the facts embodied above were stated in evidence given by Mr. Rutter, Mr. Michaol Hick, Mr. Swalwell and Dr. Lycett. The last-named gentleman attended his lordship immediately on his being brought into the Music hall. It was his opinion that death was caused by the combined effects of a concussion of the brain and drowning; and that drowning had been accelerated by the concussion of the brain it was supposed he had sustained. Dr. Lycett had examined the body, and found no other marks of violence, either internal or external, than a fracture of the humerus of the right arm. The jury returned the following verdict :—" That the deceased Lord Charles Boauclerk lest his life accidentally, while generously and nobly endea vouring to save the imperilled lives of several of his fellow men." His lordship was 48 years of age, and has left a numerous family. Yesterday morning (Monday), the body of Brews ter was found in a mutilated state on the rocks. No others had been found up to the time of our corre spondent closing his parcel. The lifeboat is a wreck, and the schooner Coupland has gone to pieces. In a communication received this morning by the National Lifeboat Institution, relative to this sad disaster, from J. Woodall, Esq., banker, of Scarborough, it is stated The lifeboat more than answered the expectations of the crew, and they have this morning (Nov. 4) told me that the mis fortune of the coxswain (poor old Clayburn) being washed out in the act of getting the boat round was the cause of all the mischief. They then lost a momen t of invaluable time in endeavouri ng t o ge t ,hi m again, and thus lost heart when it was most
