ESKELL'S INVENTION (Royal Sealy granted 17th July, 1S60), Sets or partial Sets of Teeth, exquisitely enamelled to nature, are made and fitted in a few hours by means of his patented soft elastic and imperishable base of the colour of the gum, to which it ad heres with wonderful tenacity, dispensing, with springs or unsightly fastenings, and defying detection by the closest observer. The peculiar attribute of Mr. Eskell's invention is, the readiness with which these teeth can be re-adapted to any change of the mouth (even by the wearer); and as they act independently of all distutbing causes which affect teeth of ordinary construction, they are guaranteed to last a life time, as well as for mastication and articulation.

Hannah Garner was taken ill a few days before her death, the symptoms b e in g s i m il ar to those of Jemima Garner, and of the person who partook of the food prepared for her—symptoms of arsenical poisoning. When Hannah Garner's body was ex ' burned aiseui3 was found in her stomach, inteAines, &c., in sufficient quantities to account for death. 1 After the death of Hsnnah,Jemima Garner left the Bede-h ouses at R eves b y, w h ere s h e h a d b een re siding', and came to live with her son. For a eon. I siderable time the household was an unhappy w.e. On one occasion the old lady had a slight (petrel with Whittaker ; subsequently both Garner and Whittaker became more violent in their conduct ; and at length, in September, 18(11, Garner kicked his mother out of the house, and told her to go to the union. About the same time, too, Whittaker was in the habit of using very violent and improper language to the old lady. This treatment continued for some time, and at length the mother, who still remained at her son's house, was dri veal to apply to the relieving officer for relief. During the last few , months of her life she was treated most un ki ndly 1 by both the prisoners. Garner farmed a little land, kept a grocer's shop, in which he sold arsenic, end also had a " jerry,," in which liquor was bold. Among other things he dealt, in milk, and it ap pears that Whittaker was accustomed to give some every day to a woman named Shepherd, who was at the time living at the "jerry." This milk was given to a woman named Forman, who was living with Ann Shepherd. One day, nearly a month before the death of ,T( mima Garner, Forman made a pudding of it, and after partaking of it 8,1 Shep herd's family were seized with the symptoms of arsenical poisoning. The next day Forman gave the milk supplied to her by Whittaker to a neighbour named Munn, who also made a pudding with it, and all her family, too, were seized with similar symptoms. On the day following Forman again went for some milk, and Whittaker pointed out to her the puncheon from which she was to take it. At this moment Whittaker had to leave to wait upon a customer in the shop, and while her back was turned, Forman, whose suspicions were aro use d, emptied the milk out of the other puncheon, took it home, made a pudding, and none of the family were seized with ill effects after partaking of it. The milk which Forman left, however, was made into a pudding by Whittaker. A man named Wildon, and his son, and a woman named Lightfoot, who were working at Garner's, each ate a portion of the pud. ding, and they were all afterwards taken sick and ill. About this time Jemima Garner was taken ill, and a man named Lightfoot while in the shop heard Whit taker ask Garner if any one was to go to fetch a doc tor for " granny" (meaning Jemima Garner), as she was determined to have one. Garner replied that he would have no doctor fetched • upon which Whit taker rem ar k e d, " W e ll, you know what has been said about your wife." In the last week of Jemima Garner's life a violent quarrel took place between her and Whittaker, and the latter was heard to say, by Susan Jenkinson, "I am the mistress of this house, and won't be controlled—you may go into the union." Whittaker then called Jemima Garner an old --, and told her that she wished her mouth was full of mould. On the Saturday before her death the old lady called the attention of Ann Shepherd to the state of a bottle from which she was in the habit of taking laudanum ; there was a deposit at the bottom which the woman described as being like wet mortar. On the same day Susan Jenkin son saw the old lady, who was very ill, with all the symptoms of arsenical poisoning —sick and in vio lent pain, and covered with a cold perspiration. On the 18th of December Mrs. Wetherhog, the grand daughter, saw the old lady, who was still suffering, as did also Susan Whittaker, the mother of th e female prisoner. While Mrs. Whittaker was at the house she attended upon Jemima Garner, who told her she should like some gin. Mrs. Whittaker consequently went to Garner, and asked him for some. He went into the shop, and came back with some colourless liquid, which he gave to her, re marking, " Tell her it's a good threepennyworth, and she musn't drink it all." The old lady drank the7liquid, and soon afterwards went into the room where Mrs. Whittaker and the two prisoners were sitting, and asked where John got the gin. The female prisoner remarked, "Lor, you needn't be so particular; it was spirits of wine." John Garner then swore at her for saying so, and said, " You'd hang me if you could." The s ame day Dr. George called to see Jemima Garner, and having no ides' that she was poisoned, he supplied her with medi cine calculated to relieve purging, On the day of her death Susan Jenkinson, who was waiting upon her. asked John Garner to let hie mother have a little brandy. He, however, refused to let her have any, and afterwards went upstairs, when the old lady asked him to let her have a little, as she thought it would relieve her pain and allay her sick ness. Upon this he said to her, "It strikes me you are drunk now." The mother said, " No, my boy, I'm not drunk, but dying." Her son then answerad, ; " You've tortured me these 40 y ears a b out dying it's your -- Wesleyanism which makes you. afraid." The old lady then said, " No, by boy,. i I'm not afraid ;" and her son left the room, remark ing that she might die and be --. Three hours afterwards Whittaker entered the room, and Jemima. Garner told her she thought she could sup a little arrow root. Whittaker , however replied, that she would not make her any; remarking, " There's been too much said about the death of master's first wife, and he won't let me make any." Jenkinson and Whittaker then went downstairs, and the former told Garner what his mother wanted. He looked at Whittaker and said, " You must make her some ;" but she replied, "No, I'll fetch the arrow root, and you may make it." She then went into the shop for the arrowroot drawer. Garner put. some arrowroot into a basin, and Whittaker put the , water in and mixed it, Garner remarking, " It's: like cooking for pigs ; please God it may be the last she'll eat," When the arrowroot was made Jenkinson took it up to Semima. Garner, who was sick after eating it. The old lady continued violently ill, complainir 4 g of excessive thirst. About two hours before lir.!r death Jenkinson sent Whittaker several tinier, to ask Garner to come and see his mother. WhittrAker came back to say that Garner would not cola e, as he could do her no good; but on being sent vxith a more earnest message, to the effect that if he wished to see his mother alive he must come at once, Whit taker delivered from him his message—" She may die and be —, I want to go and weigh and some coals." A few minutes before the old lady died, Jenkinson asked Whittaker to go and sit with her, but she replied " I will not come; I dare not. " Mrs. Jenkinson then fetched in her daughter-in-law, and these two were alone with Mrs. Garner when she died. The day after the death of Hannah Garner the female prisoner said to the girl Jenkinson, " I'm glad missus is dead, and I'll soon be 'shot of old granny." In the course of the follow;,ng summer Whittaker left Garner's and went hoir t e ; she again. began to keep company with 9. you/Vg man named Fox, who had formerly courted her, a nd they agreed to be married. To this man Whittaker used lan guage which implied that the dea'ch of Garner's first wife was known only to herself and Garner. After that Whittaker turned Fox over and married Gar ner in the course.of last winter. In consequence of certain suspicious circumstances which arose, it was: determined to exhume the body of Jemima Gamer, which was done, and the viscera was forwarded to Professor Taylor for analysis. In the meantime Garner and his present wife were apprehended, and the arsenic found in the shop was taken possession of by Sergeant Thorsby, who weigh e d eac h pack age, and found two of them deficient in. weight. The above facts were fully sworn. to by a vast number of witnesses, the examknation of whom, lasted the greater part of the &ivy. The case has not yet conele,ed. OXFORD CIRCUIT.—STAFFORD, March 17.

SYMPATHY WITH POLAND. A large and influential meeting was held yesterday at the Guildhall, for the purpose of expressing sympathy with the Poles in the struggle in which they are now engaged for the recovery of their nationality, The following is a copy of the resolutions submitted to the meeting : " 1. That the Poles, after having long exhibited, under circumsta ces of the most cruel provocation, a calm and dignified demeanour in the firm but peaceable vindication of their rights, which entitled them to the respect and ad miration of all civilized nations, have been forced into their present insurrection by acts of continued and intolerable insult and oppression on the part of Russia, and by the ab solute necessity of taking up arms in self-defence, and to preserve their national existence from being exterminated, and their lives from being barbarously sacrificed in the com pulsory service of their oppressor." "2. That the powers of Europe assembled at Vienna in 1815, when, yielding to the political necessities of the time, they felt themselves compelled to give a reluctant sanction to the partition of Poland, affixed to that sanction the strongest stipulations which they could devise for securing to every part of Poland thus partitioned the blessings of just and free government, and most especially the preser vation of its national character as part of the great Polish nation." "3 That the experience of nearly fifty years has proved incontestably that the Russian Government either cannot, or will not, observe those stipulations on which alone rests its title to any share in partitioned Poland." "4. That Russia, by the violation of her engagements to Europe on behalf of Poland, and by the system of confis cation, exile, and massacre, which she has substituted in their place, has forfeited all right to the possession of Poland; and by the condition of normal discontent which she has thus crea ted in the breast of an oppressed and gallant people, exposes the peace of Europe to a constant danger, which it is the interest of all to avert." "5. That this meeting would, therefore, call upon the British Government, with such concurrence from other Powers as can be obtained, to make a solemn declaration of the withdrawal of their sanction to the dominion by Russia over any part of Poland." " 6. That the deep interest which is taken by the people of England in the righteous and heroic struggle in which the Polish nation is now engaged, for the recovery of its independence, imposes on this meeting the duty of giving the best effect they can to the preceding resolutions, and with this view, that a petition embodying such resolutions be presented to the two Houses of Parliament." In the absence of the Lord Mayor, who was unable to preside from a severe attack of bronchitis, Alderman and Sheriff Lawrence occupied the chair. The Chairman read the following letter from the Marquis Townshend 15, Park-lane, March 17, 1863. My dear Lord,—l regret to say lam prevented attend ing the meeting to be held this day at the Guildhall, by a sharp attack of bronchitis, and do not expect to be well enough to leave my room for some days. I can assure you, my lord, that with the great interest I take in the cause of Poland, I feel it to be a severe disappointment to me not to be present to-day. I must be allowed to thank your lordship, in my own name as President of the Polish Association, as also on the part of those noblemen and gentlemen who attended at my house to draw up reso lutions, for the promptitude and kindness you showed, and the evident interest you took in giving us the Guildhall for this meeting, and of presiding on the occasion.—l beg to remain, very faithfully yours, TOWNSHEND. -• The Right Hon. the L .rd Mayor.

Colley Grattan, Esq. ; J. Sheppard, Esq. ; Benjamin Scott, Esq., Chamberlain of the City of London; Alder men Gibbons, Humphreys, and Abbiss ; Dr. R. Fisher, &c. The CHAIRMAN expressed his regret at the absence of the Lord Mayor, and said the object for which they had met that day had his deepest sympathy. They were met that day to express an opinion on the gallant struggle at present going on for freedom in Poland. That nation was engaged in a contest with despotism such as seldom or ever had been heard of in modern times, and he hoped an opi nion would go forth that day which would be heard in every part of Europe, and which would plainly show that the sympathy of England was with every nation which made an effort to secure that which was the ancient right of all—their freedom. (Cheers.) The Earl of HARROWBY, in coming forward to move the first resolution, said the question they had met there to-day was not one simply of right and wrong, but it was to con sider that which was believed to be a great breach of international agreement. They all knew the issue of the struggle in 1831, and bow ineffectual it was, but he could not help thinking that if a little more encouragement had been given to that gallant effort the result would have been different to what it was. (Cheers.) At that time Europe was weakened by dissensions, and it was well known that such a circumstance was always Russia's op portunity, and an act of unexampled tyranny was perpe trated. They had all heard of one of the greatest outrages that had ever been perpetrated; he meant the conscription, or rather he should say proscription, in which people were violently taken from their beds, and not for the purpose of serving their country. The misery of such a proceeding had roused the slumbering embers of freedom in Poland, and a struggle had begun which he hoped would end in a successful result. They were there not to do what they would like, for that was impossible; but they could at the present moment throw the whole of the moral weight of opinion in England into the scale, and toll Rus sia that, as far as the treaty of Vienna goes, and it was under that that Russia maintained its hold of Poland, it had violated its engagements, and therefore the Poles were free—(cheers)—and that every country would look upon them as a nation holding no allegiance to a Sovereign who had betrayed his trust. He had great pleasure in moving the first resolution. (Cheers.) The Hon. Mr.DENAIAN, in seconding it, said the conduct I of Russia, with respect to Poland, was viewed with detes tation by the whole of civilised Europe, and nothing could be stronger than the opinion that had been expressed by the Prime Minister, who had said that, of all the violations of treaties the world had ever seen none had been greater than that of Russia in the case of Poland. (Cheers,) In everything Russia had broken her obligations to Poland. Russia had stipulated that education should be carefully at- tended to, that all public documents should be published in Poland; but in place of that nothing of the kind had been done, but a system of confiscation, exile, and massacre had been in stituted. (Shame.) Did the Poles rise without provoca tion, (No, no.) He felt the noble lord who had alluded to the conscription had rightly termed it a proscription, and by that despotic and savage act Russia had forfeited all right to the possession of Poland. (Cheers.) He con tended that Russia never possessed any right to Poland, and therefore it was too mild a term to clay that Russia had violated her engagement, when she never possessed the slightest right to that country. (Cheers.) The resolution said the peace of Europe was in constant danger from the conduct of Russia, and he did not think there was one pre sent who did tv,:t believeit was for the interest of all that that d geraletheorautlion to d he prevented—(cheers) — b ut evc nptlaeolee in Russia b t u h t a he e d b a e n li g e e v r ed w u o n n t l i d l some never bo averted. If they were to let it go forth to-day that they never were to go to war for Poland they would be neglecting their duty. (Immense cheering.) He did not wish the meeting to misunderstand him; he did not counsel England to go to war with Russia, because he felt ttwhhoaeutrletdow the ee l ot gh latestreart e m hf e:aiunrsf byfor rf her\vwhat which their object cou ld be at - tai ned . would g t ( 0 C h p e o e l r a s n . )d for He a h felt t y ew aala he it rsett p iht r lhe o yaa c ti e i e v d e i_ng ( s e h o e f e r t a h ) i_s a d n a yd hall to-day. (Ch eers.) hoapdpredsosneed cinounthtrayt Mr. CRAWFORD, M.P., supported the resolution. He said he felt certain his eolleagues in the representation of the City fully approved of the object of the meeting, and he would not detain the meeting further than by saying that he fully concurred in the sentiments expressed in the resolu tion, and that he hoped that the voice of London expressed that day would go forth and make itself heard to the utter most parts of Europe. (Cheers.) The resolution was then put to the meeting, and car4ed amidst loud cheering. Sir H, HOAUE moved the second resolution. He skid that sooner than the domination of Russia should be re stored in Poland, sooner than the present noble struggle should be extinguished and put down, the citizens of Lon don would not hesitate to go to war on behalf of suffering and outraged Poland. (Cheers.) Mr. POPE HENNESSY said their object that day was not merely to give a barren expression of sympathy with Poland, but to strengthen the hands of the Government in a very difficult position. The meeting was not one of child's play, on the contrary, they were met to make a solemn pro test against one of the must shameless violations of obliga tions the world had ever known. He felt the opinions ex pressed that day would go forth to Russia, and the Auto crat would learn that he could not with impunity attempt to crush out a nation's freedom. (Cheers.) He had great pleasure in seconding the resolution. Mr. H. FAWCETT supported the resolution. He urged in very forcible terms the necesssity of compelling the Go vernment to give practical expression to the feelings of the citizens of London on the gallant struggle now being made by the Poles for freedom, and at the same time to make it known that Englishmen would not tamely sit down and witness a nation's liberty trampled out by the greatest tyranny that ever ground down a civilised country. Mr. H. SEYMOUR, M.P„ moved the third resolution, and suggested that an international subscription should be at once commenced, for the purpose of giving aid to Poland, and that the Lord Mayor be solicited to communicate with the Prefect of the Seine to receive subscriptions, and then again would be seen the glorious spectacle of two of the greatest and most powerful countries in the world united in their exertions to give freedom and liberty to one of the bravest countries in the world. Mr. E, BEALES seconded the resolution, remarking that the best evidence that the feeling for Poland was still alive was the enthusiastic meeting of that day. He concluded by proposing the adoption of the following address : Poles I—We heartily wish you success in your present most righteous struggle to recover and establish the inde pendence of your country. We shall truly rejoice to see Poland resume her honoured and most necessary place amongst the free nations of Europe. Her partition was Europe's greatest scandal, and has been Europe's greatest misfortune. Poles I—You not long since attracted to yourselves the respect and admiration of all good men by your firm, dig nified, and peaceful vindication of your national rights, after a century of partition and oppression, and in the face of the most sanguinary excesses and cruel provoca tions on the part of your oppressors. You have now confirmed that respect and admiration by your devoted heroism in the field of battle, when, goaded and tortured by renewed and intolerable persecution and insults, you determined, although almost helpless and unarmed, to have recourse to the last right and refuge of the oppressed, that of resisting force by force—determined rather to die as martyrs in the holy attempt to break your fetters for ever, than live to be torn from your country and your homes, and endure the infamy of a forced service in the ranks of your tyrants, and thus be made at once their vic tims yourselves and their instruments in enslaving others, You have further confirmed that respect and admiration by trusting to yourselves alone in this great struggle, look ing for strength, not to the ald of Courts and Cabinets, or the intervention of diplomacy, but to the concord of your own citizens, the community of your own sacrifices, and the principles which you have publicly proclaimed, provid ing for the interests of all, and respecting the rights of all, combining the grant of land to the peasant with indemnity to the proprietor. Nothing can be more just and righteous than your up rising; nothing more unjust, unrighteous, and detestable than the cowardly and savage ferocity of your barbarous foe, steeped in innocent blood—revelling in the slaughter of women and infants, of the aged, the peaceful, and the in firm ; and we gladly believe that thousands of Rut sians themselves equally with us abhor such abominable warfare. The enthusiastic sympathy of every honest and generous soul is wi4h you. Our hearts bound with joy at every victory you achieve. We invoke the blessing of the Most High, the God of Hosts, upon your arms and upor your cause --the case is all that is dear to the patriot and the Christian —the cause of justice and virtue, of liberty and civilisation. We are zealously endeavouring to de all we can to help and aid you. - May the hour be nigh at hand that shall terminate the agony of your conflict in the glories of its triumph ; when Poland's long night of bondage and of suffering shall be at an end ; when the last fetter shall have fallen from her limbs, and the day of her recovered freedom shall dawn upon her in full effulgence; and when Great Britain shall rejoic ingly hail in her Sarmatian sister, independent and power ful, free and loving freedom, one of the' best and surest guarantees for the peace, the liberty, and the welfare of Europe. Loud cries of " Shaftesbury," being raised, The Earl of SHAFTESBURY, who was warmly cheered, Came forward and said, in support of the resolution—My good friends, it seems very presumptuous that I should come forward to address a large body of the citizens of Lon don, and I assure you if you had not done me the honour of calling me by name in this way, nothing should have in duced me to take the step I now do, however gratifying it may be on such an occasion as this to meet a large body of my fellow-citizens in this the centre of liberty, of commerce, and of civilisation. (Cheers.) And now, my good friends, what need is there of lengthened speeches, of argumenta tion, or appeals to your feelings and judgment. Is there a man in England who has a heart for what is great, true, and noble who does not indeed feel the deepest and most unalterable sympathy with the people, the patriots of Poland ? I will not call this, as I have seen it somewhere called, a rebellion of the Polish people, because a rebellion seems to pre-suppose that the party who shall put it down has something of right on its side. This is a great and glorious insurrection of a wronged and abused people driven to despair by cruelties un precedented in history, by a refinement of cruelty unparalleled in the antecedent periods of war. Where, I ask you, if you ransack the records of past ages, will you find anything like that vile and ever accursed conscription conceived by the Emperor of Russia, and carried out against a gallant and defenceless people ? (Cheers.) I look upon it as equal in cruelty to anything perpetrated by Nadir Shah, and equal in refinement even to the worst deeds of the vile Emperor Tiberius. Rebellion, indeed I When have the Polish people ever acknowledged the right of their oppres sors ? When has Europe simultaneously confessed that Poland was justly held in subjugation? Why, look at the conscience of half Europe. What was the language of Maria Theresa when she signed that vile partition, the source of such woes to Europe and to Poland elhe signed it under a protest that all Europe in future times would look upon it as the greatest political crime that ever was perpetrated. What was the conscience of the Emperor Francis? Did not be on his death-bed declare that the partition of Poland, though the work of his ancestor, rested upon his conscience, and that he was ready to surrender his share of that vile partition so that it might go to the re construction of Poland, but not to be annexed to the empire of Russia? What is the conscience now of the reigning governor of Austria ? Is not the reigning Sovereign of Austria much d sposed to follow in the steps of his ances tor and predecessor Maria Theresa ? What says all France ? What says the British people ? Are we then, looking to the origin of this, to be detained with arguments upon the con ditions of the treaty of Vienna? The right of the Polish people is long antecedent to the treaty of Vienna. The claim of the Poles rests upon the inalienable rights of man—(loud cheers)—upon the inalienable rights of being a nation. It is indefeasible, and can never be wiped out. It dated from before the partition, and will exist to the end of time. (Cheers) I trust the time is not far distant when we shall recognise Poland as readmitted into the family of nations, and date her progress from the time when she starts again, with all the newness, all the life, all the joy, all the freedom of a long-oppressed but regenerated nation. (Cheers.) It seems as if the hand of Providence were. being signalised on the present occasion. It seems as if the time were at hand when the wrongs of Poland were to cease, and she were again to stand erect amongst the families of Europe. The whole of the rising has been marked by great sagacity, by much judgment, and by true rectitude of feel. ing. Mark the letter of that good,that great man Langiewicz, who appears to be another Garibaldi raised up for this par ticular occasion—(cheers) — mark the prudence of that man. He receives from his old friend and coadjutor, his old com mander, Garibaldi—a letter tendering his service. What is his reply ? Langiewiez, in the name of the Polish nation, says : " I love you. I thank you for your generous and noble offer ; but come not here. Our movements must not have anything of a revolutionary character. Let the Poles work out their destiny. The patriots of Poland will do the work. We want your sympathy. We are net in want of your active co-operation." Let us, therefore, come forward with our expression of sympathy; but let us come forward sim ultaneously with our language of d enunciation. Let us tell the Emperor of Russia and all his myrmidons that they perpetrated acts of cruelty, violence, and savagery quite un paralleled in the wars of the nations of India; worse than the crud ties perpetrated by the six nations and all the Red Indians on the continent of America. Let us tell them that by their conduct to men, women, and to children— by their cruelties to a defenceless population—not in maintaining long-established rights, or a recognised claim to domination, but to uphold the vilest and most brutal crime that ever was perpetrated by nation against nation—they are now disgracing themselves in the eyes of the world, and violatir g every precept and principle of Christianity. (Cheers.) Let us, on the other hand, tell the Poles that they have our deep and heartfelt sympathy; that they have our fullest admira tion ; that we shall watch them with love and attention, and do everything we can to excite the sympathy of Europe, and rouse the moral feelings of all mankind in their behalf Let me here impress upon you that public opinion is now very different to what it was in times past. Nations now, by an electric influence, can think and act together. Public opinion, and especially the public opinion of a great, free, Po werful, and liberal nation such as thi s , h as a d o mination and a force which few despots can resist. Let that public opinion be firm, consistent, and constant. Let it be brought to bear in diplomacy , in the Houses of Legislature, and in the language of Cabinets. Let it be brought to bear in re peated public meetings in this hall and in every great hall in England. Let every human being in this country ex press what he feels on this great question. Be assured that public opinion so expressed, so maintained, and so brought io bear on the despots of the continent, will produce a deep and lasting effect. It is not necessary in these days to say —" I give an opinion, and 1 am prepared to follow it by a blow." The time is not come for saying that. Be assured of this, that if you, as Englishmen, with the great power you possess, not only from your institutions, but from the use you have made of them—if you, by perpetually beating on the same string, by perpetually calling upon the Govern ment and your representatives to urge your claims—by per petually meeting in great congregations such as this, give assent by your voices and cheers to the sentiments delivered by the speakers, you will assuredly, by this display of public opinion, by this manifestation of your enthusiasm, truth, vigour, and energy, produce that which no threat of war, no mere wordsof intimidation could overproduce; you will bring them to reflect that if they persist in this course they will stand before the world as a great and hideous example of a despotic power founded in cruelty, and maintained by the misery of so large a portion of the human race. (Cheers.) Come forward, then, with your expressions of sympathy. Tell the Poles what you feel, what you admire, and what you counsel them to do. Tell them the secrets of your in most hearts. Tell them you are not indifferent to their sufferings; that not an hour shall pass in which you shall not be thinking how to benefit them; and tell them, last and best of all, that there shall be, from every one of you, unceasing prayers to the throne of grace. May God defend the right ! (Cheers.) Mr. JONES seconded the address, and proposed that it should be written on vellum, signed by the Chairman, and transmitted to Langiewiez, the present Dictator of Poland. Both resolution and address were then put to the meet ing by the Chairman, and were carried unanimously. On the motion of Earl ZETLAND, seconded by Lord Titnno, thanks were voted to Alderman and Sheriff Law rence, and to Alderman Dakin, for having presided at the meeting, and to the Lord Mayor for granting the use of the hall. Sir HARRY VERNEY, in supporting the resolution, read the following letter from Miss Nightingale : " If there is a fund for the sick and wounded in the Polish insurrection, would you kindly pay this little sum into it (X 10). (Cheers.) It makes my heart burn to hear of that noble nation again struggling for freedom. God prosper her, bless her efforts, and bring her safely to port." Mr. Alderman DARIN returned thanks, after which three cheers for Langiewicz and the Polish cause, and three cheers for Miss Nightingale. The meeting then separated, THE POLISH INSURRECTION. -•-•••••.---•• .-a>--- VIENNA, March 14. There are various indications that the Polish question is about to enter into a new phase. Prince Metternich, the Austrian Ambassador at the French Court, arrived here this morning, and it is under stood that he came at the express request of Count Rechberg, who is desirous of attaining a clearer in sight into the intentions of the Emperor Napoleon in respect to Poland. It has been' hinted to me that a territorial indemnification for the Polish province of Galicia has recently been offered to Austria, and something of the kind must have occurred, as the Emperor Francis Joseph a few days ago observed that the idea of bartering provinces was repugnant to his feelings. As Prince Metternich is on a very friendly footing with the Emperor of the French, he may perhaps persuade himself that his Majesty has no interested motives for his present policy in regard to Poland, but he will hardly be able to con vince his Government that the French monarch is less disingenuous now than he was two or three years ago. A copy of the circular addressed by Lord Russell to the eight Powers who signed the treaties of 1815 has been received here, and it appears to produce a disagreeable impression on the Im perial Government. For several reasons, Austria wishes to let bygones be bygones ; but I doubt not that eventually she will agree to take part in a European Congress for the settlement of the Polish question on the basis of the treaties of 1815. It would, however, be bad policy to urge her overmuch, as there is a powerful party in the State which aims at the restoration of the Holy Alliance, and a return to the ancient regime. During the last day or two there have been sinister rumours in circulation, but I neither can nor will believe the Emperor lends a willing ear to the suggestions of certain nobles who are renowned for their reaction ary principles and tendencies. From St. Peters burg I learn that Prince Gortschakofrs reply to the despatch of M. Drouyn de Lhuys was unsatisfac tory, and that his answer to Lord Russell's note of the 2d inst. will be equally so. The Polish ques tion being now fairly before the public, it may be well that it should know what the Empress Maria Theresa thought of the first partition of Poland, which took place in 1772. The illustrious lady thus wrote to Prince Kaunitz, her Chancellor, in the above mentioned year : " When my claim to my various countries was disputed, and I knew not where 1 could in peace and quiet be con fined, I relied on my right and the help of God. But in this matter (the partition of Poland) we are about to com mit an atrocious wrong, and to act in contradiction to com mon sense. I must confess that I feel very anxious and that I am ashamed to show my face. Only consider, Prince, what an example we shall give to the world if we sacrifice our honour and reputation for the sake of a miserable bit of Poland or of Moldavia and Wallachia. As I well see that I stand alone, and am no longer en viguer, I let things go their own way, though not without very great regret." When the document relative to the partition of Poland was laid before the Empress, she wrote on it the following remarkable words : " It is assented to, because so many great and learned men wish it. But when I have long been dead people will see what will arise from such a violation of everything that has hitherto been held sacred and just." When Gen. Langiewicz issued his manifesto, he marched in three columns from Goszcza, and a few hours after he had disappeared large bodies of Rus sian troops advanced towards that place. A few days aga an Austrian subject visited Langiewicz in his headquarters, and his account of what he saw and heard is extremely interesting. All the men under the immediate command of the Polish Dic tator appear to be in excellent health and spirits. In general they are in the prime of life, but several grey-bearded patriots of the year 1831 were in the camp at Goszcza. Langiewicz is a small, spare man, appears to be about 30 years of age; his hair is brown, his eyes large, dark, and well-formed; his demeanour quiet and reserved. He was some what lame, but the Austrian had no opportunity , of inquiring whether his lameness arose from a re cent wound. Langiewicz is very devout, and he advises his men to keep their consciences in good order, as there is hardly a moment in the day in which they are not exposed to danger. In the camp of Goszcza were Jiezieranski, Czieszewski,and other distinguished partisans, and a young lady named Pustoviytov, who is dressed as a man, and fights like one. By a Constantinople telegram we learn that 6,000 Russian weapons, which were in tended for the Servians, have found their way into Poland. The insurrection is spreading in Lithu ania and Minsk, and 20,000 Russian soldiers who were on their way to the kingdom of Poland were suddenly sent from Wilna to the provinces on the left bank of the Bog. About 150 vorsts to the east of the great fortress of Brzesc, in Lithuania, is a town called Pinsk, which for a short time was in the hands of the insurgents. After having appro priated to themselves 60,000 silver roubles, which were the property of the State, the insurgents with drew from the place and retired to the woods. The insurrection is now spread over 35,000 square English miles, an area half as large as the empire of Austria. Not long since the official Warsaw Gazette told us that the students in the Polytechnical School at Pulawi behaved perfectly well ; but we now learn that 30 beadles have been appointed, whose duty it is to keep the young men in order. We are further informed that these official mountainers of order are armed with cavalry sabres. It is here rumoured that the peasants in Finland are beginning to dis play a desire to get rid of the heavy yoke of Russia. About a fortnight ago four young Poles were shot at Plock, and after they had been thrown into a grave which had previously been prepared one of them was heard to murmur, "Jesus and Mary, be with me." As considerable bodies of insurgents are within a few English miles of Warsaw desertions from that city are very frequent. Last week the insurgents hanged 12 peasants who had betrayed eight of their comrades to the Russians. The political ferment is very great in Galicia, PRICE... ..4d. STAMPED ....sd. but Gen. Count Mensdoiff is resolved not to have recourse to extreme measures, unless there should be serious disturbances. The Galician Diet will again be prorogued, as its Polish members are too much excited to attend to provincial matters. Cracow and Lemberg are full of Russian agents provocateurs, and men of the same e.ass are now in this city. The Austrian Government is aware of what is going on, but for some unknown reason it remains quite passive. HALF -PAST 5. On the sth inst. the insurgents captured two guns at a place called Brezuica, and on the 7th the Polish partisan Lelevel defeated the Russians IA Vladowa, on the Bug. This morning General Langiewicz was before Miechow. The new Dic tator has appointed Mielecki to the command of the insurgent corps which is near Konin, and given him the rank and title of colonel. Last Monday (the 9th) the insurgents defeated the Russians under Major Toll, at Myszezo, in the government of Plock. The Russians are said to have had above 100 men killed. There is no local news of importance. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE, HOME CIRCUIT.—MAIDSTONE, March 17. The commission for the county of Kent was opened here on Monday, and yesterday morning both courts proceeded to business. Lord Chief Jus tice Cockburn presiding on the civil side, and Mr. Justice Wightman in the Crown Court. Eighteen civil causes are entered for trial, five of which are to be tried by special juries. The gaol calendar contains the names of forty prisoners, but, with the exception of two charges of murder, none of tha cases appear to be of a serious description. (Before Mr. Justice Wightman.) Mr. Henry Aldridge, an ensign in the 84th regi ment, a very gentlemanly looking young man, sur rendered to take his trial upon a charge of felo niously uttering a forged cheque for £l5, with intent to defraud the National and Provincial Bank at Folkestone. Mr. Bil on conducted the prosecution; Sergeant Ballantine was specially retained with Mr. Kaye for the defence. This case created a good deal of interest on ac count of the position in life of the prisoner, who is very respectably connected, and also from the fact of his being a very great favourite with all his brother officers, and with the officers of all the other regiments at the camp at Shorncliffe, where he has been stationed for about a year and a half. The principal witness in support of the case for the prosecution was Mr. Standford, the cashier of the National Provincial Bank at Folkestone; and, according to his evidence, about half-past 11 o'clock in the morning of the 15th of August a gentleman came to the bank in a fly be tween half-past 11 and 12 o'clock, and presented a cheque apparently drawn by Mr. Meiklam, an ensign in the 78th Regiment, upon Messrs. Cox and Co., the army agents in London, for the sum of £l5, and which was drawn in favour of Mr. Thorp, who is also an ensign in the same regiment, and asked for cash for it. Mr. Standford asked the gentleman if he was Mr. Thorp, and he said he was, and signed the name " W. Thorp" to the cheque, and added to the signature the words " Ensign 78th Regiment," and he then received two £5 notes and five sovereigns and was driven away to the railway station, from whence a train started at ten minutes to twelve o'clock. Mr. Standford stated that to the best of his belief Mr. Aldridge was the person who presented this cheque, and upon the discovery being made that it was forged he went to the camp, ac companied by Superintendent English, of the Kent county constabulary, and saw Colonel Lightfoot, the commanding officer. The prisoner was sent for, and Mr. Standford at once stated that he believed he was the person who had presented the forged cheque, and he was asked to write the name " W. Thorp," and the words " Ensign 78th Regiment," that had been written upon the cheque, on a piece of paper. He immediately did so, and the result was that he was given into custody, and committed to take his trial upon the present charge, but the magistrates consented to admit him to bail, and he now surrendered to take his trial. In the course of the case a cab driver named Frederick Philpot, who had driven the person, whoever he was, to the bank upon the occasion of the forged cheque being pre sented, was placed in the box to be examined at the request of Sergeant Ballantine, the prosecution not considering it advisable to call him as a wit ness for the Crown, and lie stated, in answer to questions put by the learned sergeant, that he remem bered driving to the bank on the day in question, and that a gentleman went inside, but he declared that the prisoner was not the person. it appeared, how ever, from other questions that w ere p u t t o hi m by Mr;Biron, that when he was first applied to he stated to Superintendent English that he knew the gentleman he drove to the bank was young Ald ridge, of the 84th, and that he had repeatedly driven him, and that he owed him 4s. 6d., and it also ap peared that in consequence of what he did origi nally state to the superintendent he was directed to appear before the magistrate at Hythe on the fol lowing day to be examined as a witness for the pro secution upon the present charge. Mr. Biron proposed during the inquiry to put in the piece of paper upon which the prisoner had written the name W. Thorp and the other words, in order that the jury might have an opportunity of comparing the handwriting with that of the forged endorsement upon the cheque. Sergeant Ballantine, however, objected to this. and, after some discussion, Mr. Justice Wight man ruled that the paper was not admissible, hav ing first consulted the Lord Chief Justice upon the point. - Colonel Lightfoot, the officer in command of the prisoner's regiment, was examined, and he stated that he remembered seeing him at morning parade on the 15th of August, and after the parade was over he asked his permission to go to Canterbury, and he allowed him to do so. It was about 10 mi nutes to 12 when this occurred, and at this time he was in plain clothes, and was going in the direction of Sandgate. In answer to questions that were put by Sergeant Ballantine, the colonel stated that the parade was generally over about half-past 11 o'clock, and be tween that time and the period when he again saw the prisoner he would have had to go to his hut and change his clothes, so that it must have been nearly 12 o'clock when he asked him leave to go to Canter bury. He also said that the prisoner had been in the regiment two years, and during that period he had conducted himself exceedingly well, and he con sidered him a young man of most honourable prin ciples, and he never knew a more promising young officer to have joined the corps. Sergeant Ballantine, at the close of the case for the prosecution, made a most powerful address to the jury on behalf of the prisoner. He said that although he had undoubtedly in the first instance approached the inquiry with very great anxiety, that anxiety had been dispelled as the ease pro ceeded, and ho said it really appeared to him that the evidence that had been adduced had not only failed to establish the charge against the prisoner, but had actually disproved it, and that after the tea mony of Col. Lightfoot, as to the time when he last saw him on the morning in question, it was impos sible that he could have been the person by whom the forged cheque was presented. A number of witnesses, all persons of station and high position, among whom were Sir H. Vane, Col. Meuse, Mr. lurst, the barrister, Admiral Monta gue, Mr. C. Dickens, and the Rev. J. F. Hodgson, were called to speak to the character of the prisoner, man of high honour and integrity, and, to their and they all concurred in describing utterly incapable of committing such an opinion, him as a young act as the one now imputed to him. The learned Judge having very briefly summed up, the jury returned a verdict of Not Guilty. The verdict was received with a burst of cheers, and the prisoner, who was ordered to be imme diately discharged, left the court surrounded by his friends. The grand jury have ignored the bill against the two prisoners charged with the murder at Queens borough. MIDLAND CIRCUIT.—LINCOLN, March 17. (Before Mr. Justice Willes.) THE ARSENICAL POISONINGS AT MARERAM-LE-PEN. The charge against John Garner and Hannah, his wife, for the wilful murder of Hannah Garner, the first wife of the male pri soner, on March 28., 1862, and for the wilful murder of Jemima Garter (mother of the male prisoner) on Deo. 2(1.. 1861, commenced yesterday afternoon.
