MONEY MARKET COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. CITY, Two o'CLool,:.. In the Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday there was an improved demand, and the prices Closed more firmly. The sales amounted to 8,000 bales, including 2,000 on speculation and for ex- Port. The latest advices from the Marseilles grain mar ket report a steady state of business, with a slight recovery in wheat. Galatz wheat is 44f. per hec tolitre, Roumelia ditto 33f. 50c., Salouica do. 40f. t° 40f. 50c., and white Spanish 45E. Rye was not so much in request, and prices were not so firm. Oats were sought for at 24f. for Manus, and 22f. for Brittany ; and barley was in demand at im proved rates. Advices from Galatz continue to report a dull state in the grain market, and con siderable difficulty in effecting sales, unless at a reduction, so as to induce shippers to buy while the freights are low. Accounts from St. Petersburg to the 2d inst. state that the grain market continued active, and Clore was an advance in prices. Wheat of the best qualities was in demand a 6 30 rouble's 50 kopecks to 32r. per tschetwert ; rye 22r. 75k., and linseed was sought after, and sold for 29r. 75k. assig. The demand for tallow has not diminished, and fine qualities for Candles to be delivered immediately have been 14 ° 1 d at 134 silver roubles per berkowitz, and contracts for August have been concluded at 13 3 roubles. The price of tallow is thus advancing, a nd speculators for the fall have not succeeded. They, however, continue their efforts to lower the rates of hemp, but the Russian holders of stock Maintain the former rates with firmness. The Bank of England Return to the 21th ult. is quite as favourable as was anticipated, and the 'stock of bullion has at length exceeded ten millions. The change in this department, and the largo in crease of notes, and the probability of a further ithprovement on both items next week, explains Why the Board of Dirsctors, at their meeting on Thursday last, deemed it expedient to reduce their Minimum,. The other changes in the accounts are also of an encouraging character.

This announcement th regard to the payment or renewal of the bills rs not had much effect upon the market s for 6 se securities. _ _ The official return of the exports of bullion from th L Port of London for the week ending Thursday 44 't is as follows : Gold Coin ~ Bars Silver Coin Hamburg ... 2001. ,; „ ......

Staples, of the Crystall. ) .lla , 3.4; whO have undertaken to make ample provision for the comfort and accoinmocia. tion of vibtors. Numerous applications have been received for tickets, and from the warm interest which her Majesty and the Prince Consort, and all classes of the public, have evinced in the progress of the institution, it is expected that the inauguration of this noble monument to the memory of the great duke, and for the education of orphan sons of the gallant men who have fallen in.the:r cmintry's service, will take place under auspices the most favourable to its future usefulness and well-being. The governor of the College will assemble at the Royal Pavilion by one o'clock, to receive her Majesty, and the Queen's arrival will be announced by a royal salute from two batteries of artillery. A prayer for the occasion will be offered up by the Archbishop of Canterbury. A glass tube, containing specimens of the current coins of the realm, together with an inscription engrossed on vellum, will be depo sited in an aperture in the stone by the Queen. Her Majesty will then proceed to lay the stone, and the com pletion of the ceremony will be announced by a die charge of neallery. The Queen will then return in pro cession to the Royal Pavilion, and the governors will have the honour of taki ng luncheon with her Majesty. The military bands will play during the time of luncheon, after which the Queen will return through the building to the royal tent on the terrace at the north front, to review the troops. About 12,000 troops, with two field batteries of artillery, will be assembled for the occasion, under the command of his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge. At the close of the review the troops will march past her Majesty in front of the ter race. The Queen will return to the Pavilion, and take her departure about 4h. 30m., and the special trains fur the governors and their friends will leave half-an-hour after her Majesty. Ticket holders for the reserved seats, and no others, will be admitted to the Queen's terrace. _ _ A special train, of first class carriages only, will leave the Waterloo bridge station for the site of the building at 10h. 30m. on the morning of the 2d Juno. There will also be a special train, at nine o'clock, with first and second class carriages, from the London•bridge station of the South Eastern Railway, on a train of first class carriages at 10 o'clock from the Bricklayers' Arms sta tion. MARKET NEWS.—(This Day.) LITERATURE. Poems and Tales of Travcl. By John Leekey. .Whittaker and Co. We are expected, of course, by the writer of this little volume, upon opening it "to chew the cud of sweet and bitter fancies" stored up in these same " Poems and Tales of T,‘vel." For the life of us, however, we cannot swallow it. It is precisely what is to us subject for the most utter repugnance. Jingling verse, pretty in sound, weak in passion, frivolous in signification. Precisely, too—all this —what we have showered upon us most ablind an tly: " biding [as we luckless critics must] the peltin;Y, of the pitiless storm" of " Poems': (so called) hurled at us in cartlowls, season after season, 4tos, Bvos., 1.2- mos., 16:n05., by a, legion of poetasters. It is, never theless, a mistake for any one to suppose that the ;multiplicity of these kinds of small versifiers consti tutes anything at all peculiar to our very favoured generation. Not a bit of it. Age after age some body or other has bad to lament it. Sometimei a cry of anguish corning from the lips of a really great poet, stunned—under the dissonant dis cord of the would-be songsters not less than the hero of Hogarth's deafening picture of the Enraged Musician ! What was it Lord Byron wrote in the second decade of the present century ? " They storm the types, they publish, ono and all, They leap the counter, and they leave the stall, Provincial maidens, men of high command, Yea, baronets have inked the bloody hand !" As for the stages of their rise and development, does he not say, moreover, very descriptively ? "Alas ! woo worth the scribbler often seen, In Morning Post and Monthly Magazine. There lurk his earlier lays; but soon hot pressed, Behol:l a quarto ! —Tarts must tell the rest." The time for quartos, it is true, has pretty well gone by—but neither for duodecimos nor for tarts. And so we still have the poeta3ters—a wonderful band : numerous in themselves, and in their habits marvellously industrious and productive. They will " sing you like any sucking doves," and write whole libraries as they warble. Here is another modest little volume to add to the yearly hecatomb. Elteu ! for the many heartaches con sequent upon poetic ambitions, bootless, fruitless, and fraught only with the most woeful disappoint ment. It is curse enough in itself, we should con jecture, without the aid of ridicule from reviewers. And so—shrugging our shoulders with bewilder ment when we find what we presume from the title of the piece must be anguish—thus articulat ing itself— " A chill came o'er my bounding heart, A void in its recess ; A blighting pang in every part, A deep-felt, sore impress ;" and so forth—we close the little book, and lay it aside sorrowfully.

NEWGATE AND LEADENHALL. Perversion ; a Tale for the Times. 3 vols. Smith and Elder. The object of this tale is to show the causes that chiefly lead to infidelity in the present day, and to depict their consequences. The hero, Charles Bampton, is the only son of a weak and fo o li s h widow. He is heir to a large fortune, and is sent to a preparatory school at a great distance from his mother, whose indulgence his guardian feared would impede his progress. But at this school he meets with so much petty tyranny, and suffers so much from the cruelty of the elder boys, headed by • one named Armstrong, that he makes his eselpe, and, after a long and painful journey, re turns to his mother. His sufferings and fatigues, added to the exposure to the weather, bring on a dangerous illness, from which be never entirely recovers. After this unfortunate affair, school is not to be thought of again, so a German tutor is procured, with the stipulation that he is neither to make his pupil a Republican, or an Atheist. To this the instructor assents, and, consequently, when Charles begins to inquire into the traditional principles of his faith the tutor takes refuge in vague generalities. But it is not enough net to instruct youth in evil ; it must be taught what is right, or the natural faults of the character and the influence of bad companions will speedily depress the scale. It was thus with Charlesßampton, but in his case the evil was further increased by unfortunate circumstances. His mother, who was a weak minded woman, easily influenced by those around her, had taken up her residence in a country town where the two extremes of High and Low Church had developed themselves. Unhappily for Charles and hir. twin sister Clara, who shared his opinions, the individuals of both sects whom they met, pre sented none of the features of a Christian charac ter ; consequently, they decided that religion was a delusion, and that most of its followers were hy pocrites. Charles's principles had been undermined at college, where he had met with his old enemy Armstrong, without recognising him. This indivi dual, after passing some time in the army, left it in consequence of some discreditable transactions, and after many singular adventures, spent some time in America with the Mormons. He had been married, had left his wife with the Mormons, and returned to England, taking the name of Archer ou inheriting some property. He consi dered the best way to employ himself was to enter college, and accordingly went to Oxford, where his talents soon procured him distinction. Here he met his former victim, Bampton, who did not recognise him, owing to the alteration of name and appearance. They were frequently together, and Archer, who was a confirmed atheist, partly from inclination and partly from the theories of German metaphysicians, soon brought his friend to join his views. He, in his turn, confessed his opinions to his sister, and almost extinguished the lingering elements of belief in her mind. But the time of sorrow was coming, to prove to them that in the furuaceof suffering how the false ore of their German theories, their mysticisms of Kane, and Hegel, and Atkinson, would dissolve and fail them—only the true gold of earnest Christianity could be their support and guide. Archer and Bampton, in making an excursion over the mountains, lose their way in a dangerous part, when Charles falls and breaks his leg. Assistance is procured, and he is carried to the house of his aunt, who lives near, and with whom Clara is on a visit. Archer falls in love with her and her fortune, and proposes to her. She accepts his offer, and they are engaged, with the consent of her guardians. Not, however, with that of Charles. In any case the marriage of his favourite sister, with whom ho had shared all his thoughts and opinions, would have been painful ; but Charles, atheist though he was, began to think Archer a very undesirable husband for the impe tuous and affectionate Clara. However, his re monstrances are too late, and h e goes abroad for his health in disgust. Archer introduces his bride to some atheistical friends, who finally induce her to abandon her faith. S )on after she is startled by the appearance of her husband's first wife, whom he had left among the Mormons, thinking himself effectually rid of her. She threatens him with a trial, from which he escapes, only, however, to be subse quently convicted of perjury, and sentenced to three years' imprisonment. Poor Clara, over whelmed by this terrible misfortune, is tended with affectionate care by her aunt. But all human solace is in vain, her trouble is more than she can bear. The religion of consolation is to her only a name. One way remains• to procure relief and comfort. She pours out her feelings in a long letter to her brother, which does not, how ever, reach him till he has road in anewspaper the intelligence of her suicide. The effects of this shock to his precarious health are nearly fatal. He is saved, however, by the attention of a clergyman and his wife, who are preparing to sail fur Madeira, and who prevail on him to accom pany them. In them he first sees true holiness— not the narrow distinctions of sects and parties, not the intolerance which reaches no further than forms, but the true foundation of a Christian's life —faith, hope, and charity. He is not, however, convinced, though he regrets his inability to share their belief, and though the words of his sister's pathetic farewell, in which she bewails her loss of " the religion of the cross," aroused him to a sense of the share her infidelity had in her final desola tion. He returns to England, and while waiting on the coast he encounters one whom he had known in earlier days when under the influence of Archer and his circle. He provides for one of whom his want of principle had accelerated the downfall, and, like the recreant Crusader, unwittingly exclaims, "Ma'y God forgive us both." He returns to his summer house in the old town where he and Clara had met so many unworthy professors ; but searching in a different spirit ho discovers one whom before they had overlooked, an earnest and faithful minister, who has devoted all his time and energies to labour ing among the poor and neglected. The last strong holds of his philosophical arguments are over thrown as he witnesses the self-denial, the charity, the patience under suffering, the unshaken faith with which he new becomes acquainted. He has seen the effects of his boasted light and reason. He has seen its encouragement of vice ; he has witnessed its fruits in a treacherous friend and a broken-hearted sister ; he has tried its inefficacy to restrain from guilt; he has proved it powerless to console. Henceforth he is a member of a truer and holier creed. But the memory of the past weighs upon him ; he seeks some means to atone, if he may, for the years worse than . wasted. Not T c t but in lwohn hasich no hmeantocalnabwouorrk.He has learned before thenlglitco ta noble purpose. This t o e f t l h if e e m ca t n o s b o e m h e oped for, and he resolves f t e o w d y ed ea ic r a s andleaves England t o ob ject he finds in the events of the war which ha s then just commenced , lie devote himself to the care of the sick and suffering, and to endeavour to alleviate their wants and m i ser i es b y his own abundant means.

Much may be found to instruct and interest the reader. There aro no doubt several points which may provoke criticism ; but the main object of the book is set forward openly, and the story told with a simple straightforwardness, and a total im press of lecturing or sermonising, which must the most censorious. The complete impar tiality of the writer crnnot be ton much com mended. He sets forward no particular creed—no especial sect ; the plain truths of Christianity aro his stronghold. His work will attract the thoughtful, and may serve as a warn ing to some against the dangers that await them. In a very brief preface the author attributes infidelity to three causes. In the deliberately wicked it originates, he considers, in a desire to throw off all moral restraints, in better natures, in the inconsistency or hypocrisy of those who call themselves Christians, and sometimes in a sceptical understanding and its inherent difficulties. The consequences, moral deterioration and loss of hap piness, he considers, alike in all. In this list he does not include those theories of the German school which have of late years exercised such a pernicious effect, which dazzle and mystify the understanding, though they never satisfy the heart. Some of these theories aro shown in their true colours, and also the principles of the Mormons, of which, however, few people have any doubt. The book is on a sub ject which is likely to attract attention, and its interest, and the ability it displays will maintain its character, and should it convince any reader that the hypocrisy he sees around him is a proof of the absence of the Christian religion, rather than of its presence, and to warn him not to judge a whole Church from the absurdity of one or two members of it, and above all, should it show him in their true light the brilliant sophisms of would be philosophers, the author will have achieved a merited triumph. reyar- 3olliery e SaC r 1 - than 12 ;ernity. , C win: worked Copper of - the of part of %d been proprie two of ove the 3 of thee ;cor 111CP, supplY against in infer 'mediate jecture ; ce of the :ed ce there he mine, )revailed )xplosion uch rela tened to it to the im3 of the ) ground extent •y violent - manager ie works, for bring ny meanq lessen tie once de and boti ath of the 'rl flees ai it ufferer, or aen being vere dPad, r no hopes fellow had )dy, which .

MONTES WHIPPED BY A WOBIAN.—The Ballarat Times cf March 3 contains an account of a whipping at length administered to this terrible whipper by one of her own sex. Lola Montes was engaged to perform at the Ballarat Theatre, for Mr. Crosby. She quarrelled with him about accounts, abused him, and was then set on by his wife. Mrs. Crosby broke a whi p on her op ponent., then seized Madam by the hair —the rest may be imagined. The Ballarat Times says that Lola Montes will not be able to appear for a long time on the stage, // /I ADDRESS OF THE POLES TO COUNT WALE WSKI. The following is the address presented to Count Walewski by the Polish deputation : " Excellency,—The Paris Congress, by the con clusion of the treaty of peace of the Ist April, solved unexpectedly the Eastern question ; and in this treaty, of which the principal object was the re establishment of the balance of Europe, the West ern Powers stipulated nothing with respect to Poland, and thus sanctioned by an inexplicable omission all the spoliations committed on that na tion since the fatal period of its partition. We, the refugees and representatives of Poland, being delegated to maintain in all its integrity the prin ciple of its independence, feeling the sacred nature of our duties, strong in the justice of our cause, make a last appeal before the chiefs and plenipoten tiaries of the allied States of France, England, Austria, Sardinia, and Turkey, protesting earnestly against the abandonment of our national rights, confirmed and guaranteed in the last instance by the acts of the Congress of Vienna on the 3 1 of May, 9th of June, and 27111 of November, 1815, and which up to the Treaty of Paris of the present year, have not been abrogated or modified by any other convention between the Powers of Europe. " Since the raising of the Eastern question, in consequence of the pretensions of the Emperor Nicholas over the Christian subjects of the Otto man empire, we have never ceased to entertain the hope that Poland would be called to take an active part in this great judgment of the interests of Europe against the lawless ambition of Russia, and which, according to general expectation, was to have restored our independence. "After the invasion of the Danubian Principa lities and the massacre of Sinope, to which France and England replied by a declaration of war, we offered our co-operation, and proposed the forma tion of an auxiliary Polish corps, even in the ter ritory of the Sultan. The proposal, which at first seemed to be accepted, encountered opposition in the Cabinet of Vienna, which, at a later period, by the Convention of the 2d of December, 1854, joined the Anglo-French alliance. Since that day we have been in constant expectation of being called upon by the allies, and God knows with what inexpressible anxiety we awaited the arrival of the moment when we should unite our eagles with the banners of France and England. That happiness was not granted to us. We have been forced to keep shut up in our bosom all our pa triotic hopes, but they are not the less lively and lasting from being postponed. "During the course of the negotiations opened at Paris for the conclusion of peace we did not raise our voice in the name of Poland, for we could not believe that in a Congress assembled to re-establish the ancient relations between the Powers of Eu rope the question of Poland would have been totally set aside. We left to France and her allies the task of pleading our cause at the same time as that of Turkey, and we thought that our silence ought to entitle us to this consideration. The de liverance of oppressed nationalities would, we thought, be the necessary consequence of the Wes tern alliance. But now, when the treaty of peace, ratified by the Powers, has been made public, and as neither in that official instrument, nor in the protocols of the Conferences which preceded it, have we found the name of Poland, we cannot, without denying the past, without abandoning all regard to the future, remain silent, and thus renounce the rights which even our enemies and those of France had recognised as legitimate. " France and England, by declaring war against Russia, have, it is true, assumed no new engage ments with regard to Poland ; and this Eastern war—for reasons which it does not belong to us to discuss—has terminated without her participation. But was that a reason why nothing should be sti pulated in her favour by the Congress ? Such is not our opinion. If the treaties of 1815, imposed by force, are to servo for ever as the law of Europe for all other questions besides those of Turkey, the strict observance of those treaties, approved in common, ought clearly to be demanded in all that concern Poland. We only speak of tho law of Europe, for that which we rely on is Poland before 1772. The sth clause of the Austrian propositions, which permits the Plenipoten tiaries to require guarantees for the security of. Europe, gives them on this point complete latitude —it purports, in fact, the maintenance of Polish nationality, and such, we trust, is the meaning attached to that article in the final meeting of the Congress. Moreover, the present peace would. not have been concluded without the moral influence which Poland, though unrepresented in the Angie- French alliance, exercised en the resolutions of the Cabinet of St. Petersburg ; and the admissions of Russia herself have been too explicit on this point for us to have recourse to any other proofs than those taken from the Times, the principal organ of public opinion of Europe. "The Plenipotentiaries have, consequently, the power—we may add that the obligation is imposed on them, always reserving our national rights—to demand from Russia the re-establishment of tee kingdom of Poland as it stood in 1815, and which has never been considered as forming an integral part of the Muscovite empire. Pursuant to the sense of the Treaty of Vienna, it ought to have its Government, its representatives, and its army ; its territory ought not to be occupied by any foreign troops ; and the re-establishment of Poland ought to be accompanied by that of the free city of Cra cow, as the inviolable sanctuary of our historical recollections. " All these guarantees have been comprised in the general act of Congress, dated the 3d of May, from which we quote the following passage 6 " Art. 1. The Poles, subjects of Russia, Aus tria, and Prussia respectively, will have a repre sentation and national institution.' " Art. 6. The city of Cracow, with its territory, is declared for ever a free city, independent, and strictly neutral.' " Art. 9. The Courts of Russia, Austria, and Prussia bind themselves to respect, and cause to be respected, at all times, the neutrality of the free city of Cracow and its territory. No armed force shall ever be introduced into it under any pretext whatever.' " We are bound at the same time to remind your Excellency of the solemn premises made to us, re lative to these different points, under the preceding regime, during the period which elapsed between 1831 and 1848, by ail the legislative assemblies ; of the sympathetic echoes which they have ever found in the English Chambers, and the unanimous vote of the National Assembly on the 23d of May, 1848. These promises become, in our opinion, obligations for the present regime which has emanated from the will of France, and which is bound up with the Imperial traditions, for to establish it, in order to continue these traditions, to raise it from its poli tical decline and fall, was also to demand from it the re-establishment of Poland. From that mo ment we felt assured of our independence, based on the general interests of Europe ; we have hailed the accession of an era of glory for France, of an era of reparation for Poland. ; for we could not, and we cannot now, separate those two great prin ciples which for us are embodied in the immortal name of Napoleon I. We served too well the first Empire to entertain any doubt of his lie!r ; we appeal to his personal sentiments, which are in conformity with those of the nation ; to his words, if necessary, addressed on more than one occasion to our countrymen. France wishes for a pacific reign, but a glorious one ; but the glory of a Napoleon is in the deliverance of Po land. " We have by the preceding sufficiently esta blished the right of Poland to the intervention of Europe, represented in Congrem for the atainten, mice of the principle of its independence. There remains, then, the question of interest which Europe ❑iay have to sustain it. "The Eastern question, the definitive solution of which no one has dared to indicate, cannot be detached from the question of Poland. Any cons , hination the object of whose solution would be the exclusion of Poland would be at once marked by weakness and fragility, and of this we see the re cent proof in the additional treaty of the 15th of April, annexed to the act of Congress, and pur porting to consolidate it by a guarantee indepen dent of its original basis. Such must be the case; for Russia only negotiated with the view of delay, her traditional policy is in every respect the same; and the interposition of Poland is still the only lo gical and rational means of arresting her progress towards the west and south. From the present late she declares war against the Circassians, who by their religion are connected with the Sultan. To-morrow it will be the turn of the Persians; the eastern road of the Black Sea remains always open to her. There is an inexorable necessity in the life of nations as of individuals, which cannot be avoided by any expedient. One of two things-- .either Poland will be freed, or Turkey and Aus tria will, sooner or later, pass under the Musco ' vite rule. Let the Greco-Slave empire be not for gotten—that empire planned by Peter 1., and rea lised by his descendants, would be composed of near 100,000,000 men ! Tzarogrod,' the city of the Czars !—suck has been for centuries the Rus sian name of Corrstantinople. Napoleon has said, The assimilation. of Poland would render Russia all powerful !' Time Plenipotentiaries we feel sure will take these things into consideration in order to secure for their work the character of solidity and durability. " We disclaim tae absurd calumnies which con nect the cause of Poland with anarchy and agita tion ; these are cslious insinuations in which no one believes, not erven those who propagate them. England, Switzer3and, and even Austria have always shown themselves disposed to aid in our in dependence ; but surely those Powers have no interest in serving the cause of disorder. In this act of reparation and of justice they only see the accomplishment of: a groat political necessity, and we cannot supposta that their initiative would be rejected by Franosa We aro ituld that the Con gress recoiled from the question of a general recon struction of the in ap of Europe ; that it feared the occurrence of a di 33as3ion on Poland, as if it could be a danger more grave than that we have just in dicated ;—as if th a,t reconstruction, the inevitabl e result of every i a iportant war, was beyond the power of France 'and its allies. But, in truth, there was no need .of reforming the map of Europe, of tracing new div isions of territories between the nationalities which. compose it. Quite the contrary, it was only necessary to guarantee those which were found alread, r traced in the beginning of the European struggl e.. It was precisely the task of the Congress, and ;that task it cannot avoid accom plishing. "Is Poland des tined to undergo this last out rage—to see the last shred of its independence torn ; this supren to iniquity—to see its very name effaced from the snap of the world, because, 25 years ago, it did not wish to march against the West, and serve :as the vanguard to Russia—be cause it coastal - nay hoped the intervention of Europe, and den landed a term to its martyrdom ? " And why, t twai, should Europe refuse to fulfil its engagements towards one of the most ancient of valiant nations in Christendom ? Europe has taken an interest in the fate of the Greeks, the Roumains, the Servians, the Scandinavians, the Tartars, the agaros, and other heterogeneous populations who so existence is scarcely known. Can it do less ii t favour of the Poles—of a nation of 20,000,000 mien, kept by the common enemy under a yoke a hundred times more painful and intolerable ? "Is Europe ashamed to pronounce our name because that name calls to mind the crime of the partition, the most disgraceful act of modern times ? We cannot beliew . e it, for this last injustice would prove the ruin of its moral dignity by sanctioning the right of de.sp atism and Asiatic barbarity ! The blood of our sobEers too often mingled on fields of battle with that of France not to secure to the latter a right to defend and protect her sister among Christiaa ilations ! Her honour is at stake, and in France Iron our is a principle that does not admit of discussion. " Being persrmded that the regeneration of our country can alone insure to Europe a constant and solid peace, the re gular development of its liberal tendencies, and complete security ; that it can alone put a period t •eo the violent commotions which, since the close of the last century, have agitated the West, by exhai isting in incessant and always sterile struggles the. vital forces of its civilisation ; that it can alone aci iequately retrieve the immense sacrifices made by 'Prance and her Allies during the war in the East. ; "We, emigrants and representatives of Poland, beseech the chiefs and plenipotentiaries of the allied States of Prance, England, Austria, Sar dinia, and Turkey, and particularly your Excel lency, our natural defender and president of the Congress, to repair that omission of the name of Poland, in the interest of all Europe aggrieved at her abandonment, and to require at least in her favour, conformably to previous engagements, the fulfilment of the stipullations which France, although disarmed, obtained for her in 1815, and which France, to-day victorious, is the more authorised to insist upon, namely : " That our national institutions be for aver re stored and guaranteed to us ; " That the kingdom of Poland and the free city of Cracow, created by the Congress of Vieni la, and, since 1831 and 1846, illegally absorbed by Russia and Austria, be re-established on the bases stipu lated by the act of the Congress, and asseitted to by the three Courts which shared in the partition ; and "That the Code of Napoleon, abrogated in 1832, and replaced by organic statutes imposed by force, should be again put in vigour throughout the en tire of Poland. "Confiding in the wisdom of their views,, in the uprightness of their intentions, we await their de cision in that respect, with a certainty that events, prepared by Divine Providence, will justify our anticipations : that we shall find a generous sup port in public opinion, the supreme , arbitrator in all great national causes, and which, at this period of enlightenment and progress, ultimately comes off triumphant. " Count CHRISTIAN OSTROWSKI, Together with several thousand. Members of the Polish Emigration. " Paris, May 3." BRIGANDAGE IN GREECE. In the Greek Chamber of Deputies on the..sth of May there was a very interesting discussion on the convention between the kingdom of Greece an:d the Porte for the suppression of brigands. If wo may rely upon the statement made by the Greek 3 (Mis ter for Foreign Affairs, the energy of the govern ment, the zeal of its officials, and the courage of its troops, have actually reduced the ervil of brigandage so far as they have authority to act within the Greek territory itself, and would have abolished it altogether but for the obstacles which a different sovereignty places in the way of their pursuit of the brigands across the frontier.. This difficulty, which the Minister poetically com pared to that which the Greek hero in the• fable experienced when he found the monster with whom he was wrestling renewing his pernicious strength every time lie approached his native soil, is to be removed by the convention lately agreed to with Turkey. Tile engagements are reciprocal, and for this common object. The soldiers of either state may advance beyond the frontier, in pursuit of persons whether foreigners or natives, who have committed crime in the state to which the sol diers belong ; but they are prohibited from any inha bited place, and they must not come near the posts occupied by the military of the state into which they have penetrated. With these restrictions, no definite limit, as to distance from the frontier, is assigned for their right to traverse the territories of the state neighbouring their own. Each of the contracting parties engages to expel, not only cri minals, but deserters from the army of its neigh bour, though it does not engage to deliver them up to their own sovereign. Greeks may be tried and punished, when apprehended in Greece, for crimes committed by them in Turkey ; but this, as ex plained by the minister, is no innovation, the principle having been recognised in the former commercial treaty. One or two of the de puties expressed their apprehensions of con fusion and conflict arising from the mixture of Greek and Turkish troops, and Greek and 'Turkish thieves on the border, and patrio tically disapproved the article relative to the expulsion, which they regarded as equivalent to the extradition of deserters; but the prevailing senti ment of the Ch am b er was that of congratulating the Government upon having adopted a mea sure so decidedly in the interests of civilisation and good order, and - having thereby given practical effect, at this early period, to the declaration of the great powers in the treaty of peace, by which the Otto mana member of the Eu ropempireeanfamisilyreocfongantiisoends. The projet de loi, to as incorporate the treaty, was passed by 68 votes against 2. A gentleman well acquainted with the exact state of things in Hungary gives a very unfavourable account of that Crown Land in as far as the security of the life and property of persons who live in remote country placers iN concerned. i 1 --~-~1 j Ij' ;~ ~F ~; _~ ~ ~--
