Government expects no tranquillity except from the anni hilation of the Polish name and character. On their part the Poles are equally resolute. At home, many of them choose to suffer death by cruel tortures rather than enter the ranks of the Russian army. More than a thousand Polish soldiers now work with galley-slaves or convicts in Prussi I, rather than return to their country under Russian thraldom ; and the number of exiles in France and Germany, who have re sisted the offers of an amnesty, show the horror enter tained among them for the Russian dominion. No peace or amalgamation of interests can be expected, with such treatment on the one hand, and such distrust or exaspera tion on the other. The latter feeling will be encouraged and strengthened by the sympathy of Europe, and futurity will be looked to for the redress of those wrongs, the sense of which cannot be diminished by time or distance. Votes and speeches like those of Tuesday night in the House of Commons, or like those in the French Cham bers, will keep alive in the minds of the noble sufferers the hopes of better times. They will still consider them. selves a nation though without a country, and will be ready for every enterprise which promises to restore the name and rights of their native land. Should such an opportunity occur, and should Poland be restored, it will be remembered with gratitude that a British House of Commons nerved their spirits for the conflict, and branded their oppressors with infamy. E si tremendo e fier, piu the mai fosse, " Scende it fulmen Polono, ei fu che'il mosse."—Times. The " cause of Poland," said Sir Robert Inglis in his admirable speech on Mr. Cutlar Fergusson's motion, "the cause of Poland is the cause of Europe and of Christian civilization." Every manly and generous heart in Europe, of every political party, and of every Christian sect, will re-echo the noble sentiment. It is the honourable tribute of an honourable mind to successless valour and persecuted worth. When the day comes, and come it will, in which the voice of retributive justice shall call the Poles to avenge the wrongs of their country and restore her inde pendence, they will inscribe that sentiment on their ban ners, the children of Sobieski—the fellow.country►nan of Kosciusko —will not value it the less because it was uttered in a British House of Commons, by a representative of one of the ancient seats of English learning, in honour of a people who, in former days, saved Europe from the de cola inky tide of Turkish conquest; and in later times, have been to her a bulwark against the no less destructive irruptions of the northern barbarians. Let the Autocrat enjoy his ignominious triumph as he may, but if he have a particle of those human feelings with which he has been lavishly endowed by the servile eulogy of Lord Palmerston, his wreath of laurel will be to his brows a crown of thorn., when he bears of the opinions which his conduct has called forth in the British Senate, and anticipates in those opinions the sentence of infamy which history shall pronounce upon his name, and the execration of posterity. So often have we brought this question of Poland before the public— so often have we argued it upon the various grounds of the faith of treaties, the political interests of England, and the rights of nations and of humanity, that we believe we have exhausted every topic, in the way of reasoning and argument, which could be ;messed into its service. Despots, as Nero, Domitian, or Caligula, might be de fended or admired—for they also courted the opinion of a few by whom they were surrounded—those few being the panders to their brutal passions; the providers of their victims, and the accomplices in their crimes. Nay, the Herod of Palestine may have been a most amiable man, notwithstanding his "slaughter of the innocents," for he may have issued the ferocious Ukase which tore children from the breasts of their frantic' mothers, merely to gra tify some other persons, and not to indulge his own love of sanguinary deeds. He, therefore, may be as quite clear of the charge of savage cruelty and outrageous violence to the rights of nature as the despotic chief, who, in modern times has been called the" Herod of the North." But neither the Secretary for Foreign Affairs, nor any of our Ministers, dare to deny that the treaty of Vienna, which created and guaranteed the nationality of Poland, has been violated—contemptuously violace,i— by the Autocrat, although the name of England was to that treaty, and the Minister of England—even Lord Castlereagh—declared at the time that it was necessary that the duchy of Warsaw should be erected into an in dependent kingdom, as a barrier against the encroaching ambition of Russia. We placed before the public eye, some time ago, the energetic decl 'ration of Mr. (now Lord) Grey, on the subject of the second partition of Poland in 1794, to which Mr. Fergusson also re ferred on Tuesday night. Lord Grey then regarded the destruction of the independence of Poland as endangering the security of the other independent nations of Europe. The partitioning Powers, at that time, violated no treaty with England ; but the recent conduct of Russia to Poland adds the violation of a solemn treaty with us to its dangerous invasion of the rights of an independent State, and its crimes against humanity. What causes the gross inconsistency between the opinion of Lord Grey at that former time, and his conduct at the present ? He then wished to save Europe from the danger, and England from the disgrace, of the cri minal apathy which made no effort to avert the de struction of the nationality of Poland. He has it now in his power to save the honour of England, and regain for Poland what, by treaty, we guaranteed her, yet he shrinks from the manly assertion of those principles of his own which now stand in historic record against him. But he was then a patriot courting popularity, he is now a Minister enjoying power. As to Russia daring to go to war with England, if our Government adopted language on this occasion suitable to the dignity of the country and the justice of the cause, it is out of the question—she is much more likely to take measures which will ultimately force us into a war, at great disadvantage, in consequence of the timid language and truckling policy of our rulers, than if they gave her to linden tand they were prepared to act, if necessary, on the old English principle—" Be just, and fear not." Of what value will the signature of Great Britain to a treaty be henceforth, if her Government, ad mitting that Russia has contumeliously violated a solemn compact with her, avow that they dare not take any step to vindicate the national honour, and are even afraid to " unpopular" at the present moment, and wherein does it not represent public opinion ? Because, weighing the ex traordinary difficulties of the Ministry, and knowing the incalculable evils of a dissolution of the Cabinet, it cannot fulfil the expectations, or satisfy the exorbitant demands of the electors for miraculous reforms, and a great reduction of taxation' and our fiscal burdens. The Conservatives would surely experience far more ruinous difficulties in any House of Commons than Lord Grey encounters in the Lords. A dissolution might possibly add some small ad dition to their forces in the Lower House ; but that they should regain their ascendancy, or succeed in achieving a numerical strength of any importance, is a vain and ri diculous expectation. Granting Sir Robert Peel his family seat of Tatnworth, where would the Duke of Wellington's rank and file and ex-placemen—the Goulburns, Horace Twisses, Murrays, Crokers, cum multis aliis, obtain seats ? On the other hand, how many additional radicals would be sent as mus quitos to torment a Tory Leader in the Com mons ? Sir Robert Peel has risen in power in the Commons since his resignation of office; but he well knows that his return to office could not be maintained, and that he would relapse into his old common places and political weakness. We suspect that the crafty Baronet is too well aware of the real state of parties, to risk his cha. ratter or chances on any present change of the Govern ment ; and this accounts for the vicious and undisguised hatred entertained towards him, and openly expressed, by his late political partisans. We may also ask whether the Ultra-Radicals do not see their own road to gain by thus backing the Tories and endeavouring to lead them to overthrow the Administration? If the Ministry and the present Commons are unpopular, is it not because they are too much in accordance with the House of Peers, or too desirous of avoiding a " collision?" What, then, is the sole inference—the only alternative ? that his Majesty must devise some means of making the House of Lords fit the Cabinet. There is no middle course—no other possible plan of saving and redeeming the form and constitution of the British Government. The Tory Peers will try to make political eunuchs of the Com mons—will throw out all the valuable Bills now or during this session sent up to them—or mutilate them so that their framers shall not know their identity when they come forth from their Lordships' rack. Now it remains to lie proved whether the ancient spirit of British Commoners still exists in the Lower House—whether the Reformed Parliament will allow the House of Lords to erect them selves into a government of Forty Tyrants ! What can the Lords gain by such audacious temerity ? What may not the Sovereign and the old British Aristocracy sacrifice, and that right speedily, by such a blind and infatuated course ? The Tory Peers are, indeed, with a vengeance, playing the game of Republicans ; and if the Movement becomes too rapid, the Conservatives will be responsible for it. We confess we cannot divine the Tory policy. They are vainly opining to ladle out the ocean ; they are rushing headlong, like Pharoah and his host, into the Red Sea, which is opening only to overwhelm the enemies of the people. The kennel of the Whipper in is afflicted with canine madness—a common distemper in the dog. days. Do the Oppcsition Lords think that the stripes ad ministered to them by the Lord Chancellor, though neces sary to their obstinate nature, tend to elevate them in the respect of the nation? The scarifying of Lord Lyndhurst, and the pummelling of Lord Wynford, will not create any public esteem for those two equally illustrious, consistent, disinterested, patriotic Legislators. They may too late discover their errors if they should chance to survive their newly and honestly acquired order !—?Morning Chronicle. It is with a feeling of curiosity, but certainly of no higher kind of interest, that the public wait to see how the House of Commons will dispose to-night of the motion of Mr. O'Connell, which is to the following effect:— " That it is the duty of the Legislature to provide for the cheap and expeditious administration of justice, by the formation of Local Courts for that purpose." When we say that people are curious to knew how the House of Commons will dispose of this motion, we mean, of course, that they are curious to know how his Majesty's Ministers will dispose of it, for nothing in this world is more certain than that Mr. O'Connell will be in a large majority or an insignificant minority, according, we do not say to the vote of Lord Althorp, for he may vote one way and command his rank and file to vote another, but to the degree in which the Noble Lord will really patronise or discountenance the motion. What the tactics of his Majesty's Government or of Mr. O'Connell may be upon this occasion it is not easy for us to guess, and Hea ven forfend that we should be so far in the confidence of either party as to know. But we think it probable that the former may give at least an ostensible opposition to the motion, and we are not quite sure that it is brought forward by the Honourable and Learned Mover with any other feelings towards them than those of en. The Lords move on doggedly in their allotted course. They have thrown out the Bill for dispensing cheap;and prompt, and effective justice to the poor of England ; and have for the time decided, that for those wrongs which it is almost inevitable that the rich and powerful should perpetrate, it shall be to all future times, as in times past it has been, next to impossible that the poor man should obtain redress. It would be needless to de clare our unfeigned sorrow at a calamity like that which the vote of the Peers has inflicted upon the whole body of the nation. What, we may ask, is the point of view in which their decision of Tuesday last exhibits their Lord ships to the country? We do not say (because an Attorney-General might deem the assertion libellous) that it is the light wherein the majority of the House of Lords ought truly and justly to be regarded ; but it is nevertheless, that in which a vast number of their countrymen do consider them, vie., as enemies to equal law throughout this realm—as denying the rights of the mass of the people to substantial protec tion from the law of England—as perpetuating a monopoly, not merely of wealth and rank, and privilege, and power, but of justice. Having touched so lately upon the true character of the Local Courts Bill, and on the arguments by which it was supported, our readers would readily be spared a recurrence to that particular branch of subject in speaking of Tuesday night's debate, more especially since by far the most serious considera tions flowing out of the vote of that eventful evening are in their nature separate from those suggested by the Bill itself, and belong to the general position and circumstances wherein the Lords have placed themselves towards the country. But the argument on the law and policy of the question took so defined a character throughout the whole discussion, and afforded opportunity for a triumph to the Lord Chancellor so splendid, and a demonstra tion of the trut► and right of the question so lumi nous, that we deem it our duty to glance, however briefly, over some of the points 6: st perverted by the hos tile party, and afterwards placed upon their proper footing by Lord Brougham. In mercy to Lord Wynford u e pass over that learned person's share in the combat, and in its mortal consequences. Yee victis!—poor Lord Wynford ! shown by the Chancellor to be a lawyer and a legislator who had never read, or, having le id, had forgotten, or, remembering. had not comprehended the leading provision of his own Bill, submitted to Parliament only a few months ago ! But Lord Lyndhurst being of heavier calibre, was silenced by a graver, though not a less effectual and deci sive exposure, than the other unhappy Baron. That Learned Lord appeals to have run-a-muck at plain fact, professional knowledge, and common consistency in his treatment of the provisions of the Bill, and to have fared accordingly from the crushing gripe of the Lord Chancellor. So many plausible, but vulnerable fallacies, as were then re sorted to by the ex-tenant of the Woolsack, are rarely to be found throughout one night's exhibition in any deli berative assembly, and never, we make bold to say, have they been so unrelentingly demolished. He argued on a quotation from Lord Hale, which was shown to be partial and false. He declaimed upon a gratuitous assumption that the expense of the new measure would be more than double what Lord Brougham satisfied every candid mind (except a majority of the House of Lords) that it could be, magnifying 60,0001. or 70,000/. per annum into 150,000/. His Lordship then, as vehemently, condemned the Local Courts already existing for their uselessness, inasmuch as they were but scantily resorted to by suitors; whereas the Chancellor proved that in some of them 9,000 or 10,000 causes were tried in a single year ! Lord Lyndhurst attacked the noble author of the Bill for its extensive, wild, and hazardous spirit, not justified by any opinion derived from the Commissioners. The Chancellor proved that it fell short in some respects of those re forms which the Commissioners recommended, and short indeed of the famous measure of Lord Wynford, already consingnedto oblivion by its learned author, the latter having subjected cases of " real property" to trial by his patent machinery. But Lord Brougham was assailed for a sordid and mercenary love of patronage in all these re forms. Did the Noble Lord display that passion i❑ any f the context of his legislative or judicial character ? Did be so in a large surrender of church patronage to the Bishops? or in his dereliction of the appointment of official assignees? Then, as for the capacity and integrity of local Judges, what are the " great unpaid" in every county of England but so many local Judges? Was there ever a happier apostrophe than that of the Chancellor to Lord Wharncliffe, who had himself sat for so many years at the bead of the quarter sessions of the West Riding, and made himself more known and respected also in his station of a local judge than in any other which he bad occupied? Nor did the feeble parallel of the Welch Judges, with the description of functionaries now proposed, share any better fate. The Welch Judges might be counsel one day in a cause which they might have to decide as Judges the day after,—a " combination and a form indeed" of professional attribute of judge and advocate—of pleader and decider —which Lord Brougham has by no means emulated. Once more, this measure is, and will be long esteemed throughout the country, which has been for a long time deprived of it, essentially .and indisputably the " Poor Man's Bill." As such the body of the people regard it; os destroyers of the " Poor Man's Bill" do they hold the infatuated Noblemen who have thus strangled it in the very infancy or its progress. Lord Lyndhurst talked largely of the purity of his motives. " Good wine needs no hush," they say. His Lordship, as became a judge, sensible of " what he owed to his station and office," spoke not against the Bill in any partisan, political spirit ! He turned away hie thoughts—good, innocent, elevated patriot !—from the consciousness of its even being a Government measure ; above all things, he forgot that it owed its parentage to Lord Brougham ! And yet in his simplicity, he also forgot his own pure mo tives, and, by some strange accident, he did indi rectly what, of course, neither his conscience nor his courage could allow him to do directly ;—he did, it seems, "imagine a person anxious to devote the whole of his power to the purposes of personal aggrandizement and am. bition, and indisposed towards the institutions of the country, which appeared to him to check him in his career—he could fancy such a person, about to bring forward a new cyst , tn, fully sensible of the fleeting nature of popular support and applause, and anxious to establish and consolidate his power upon a secure and substantial foundation. Should there happen to he at any time such a person of such a character filling the high office of Lord Chancellor of England, the patronage which this measure Ninety-five Members of the House of Commons agreed on Tuesday night to an address to the King of Grea Britain, praying that " his Majesty will be graciously pleased not to recognise, or in any way to give the sanc tion of his Government to, the present state or condition of Poland, the same having been brought about in viola tion of the treaty of Vienna, to which great Britain was a party ;" and 177 Members, who divided against the address, fully concurred in the principle whi c h i t in volved. E ven t h e Mi n i ster i a l majority against the adop tion of Mr. Fergusson's resolution went further than the pledge of the resolution itself, for Lord Palmerston and his colleagues stated that they had protested against, or had expressed their dissent from, the conduct of the Russian Government, in overthrowing the nationality of Poland, whereas the resolution merely demanded their passive resistance to the conduct of Russia, or their non-recognition of its legality. W e may therefore say, without the possibility of contradiction, that an as semblage of the House of Commons of England, very large for the present stage of the session,—namely, 272 Memlsers, including such Ministers as are Members of the House—including the chief leaders of the Tories, including the Whig representatives, and including the Radical party, have all concurred in` a mot i on condemna tory of the proceedings of the Russian despot towards the gallant patriots of Poland. The only reason why this expression of opinion was not formally and unanimously adopted by the House is, that the Commons of England should never declare any of its treaties violated without following up the motion with an address to the Crown, demanding reparation or inviting hostilities. In this ground of resistance to Mr. Fergusson's motion there is some plausibility ; and, therefore, in recording the vote of the opponents of the resolution, we are entitled to take the universal opinion to be in its favour. And what is thus the result of the discussion of Tuesday night? Why, nothing lase than this, that the representatives of the Corn mons of England, assembled to the number of nearly 300, have declared,without one dissentient voice, that Russia has violated her treaties with us (in the engagement which she had formed with us and with Europe to respect the national rights of Poland),—that she has been guilty, not only of oppression towards the Poles, but of perfidy towards her allies in this conduct,—and that we are only restrained from vindicating our own views of policy, and asserting the rights of insulted Poland, by considera tions independent of the justice of our cause, or of the strength of our obligations. This conviction is not limited to the Members of the House of Commons—it pervades all classes of soeiety in England—it is expressed at public meetings—it is embodied in numerous petitions to Parliament—it inspires both branches of the Legisla ture, and gives force and animation to every discussion of the press on continental affairs. In short, if there is any Englishman existing disposed to palliate the enormi ties of Russia, or to vindicate the oppression of Poland, he, at least, has the prudence to he sane, if not the good sense or good feeling to be right. Had our space permitted us, we should again have gone over the argument, by which the British Government is not only permitted, but called upon, to interfere in the present state of Polish affairs. Suffice it to say, that in the reconstruction of the European system at the Congress of Vienna, it was pro posed by the representatives of the only two great Powers, France and England, which had no interest in the various partition of Poland, and shared only in their infamy, by having permitted them, to restore the remnant of that ancient state which was left at their disposal (from their conquests over Napol eon ) ' o i ts anc i ent independence. by converting the duchy of Warsaw into a new kingdom. The oliject was at first more vast ; it was even supposed that tl e free Powers assembled at the Congress might be able to reunite the partitioned provinces of Poland, and re-establish, as a barrier against the barbarism of the North, that kingdom which had long ago formed a bulwark against the fanaticism of the East. Austria would have agreed, for this purpose, to give up Gallicia, and Prussia might have keen indemnified for the surrender of her share of the spoil by a compensation in some other quar ter. Liberal opinions and anticipated advantages or ()an gels were, however, tao feebly felt to make all the allies join in this project, and the only result which could be obtained without a new war (a war which at the time there was every motive to avoid) was the erection into a king dom of the limited duchy of Warsaw, which was trans- ferred to Russia under certain conditions. Nothing shows more strikingly the importance attached to that arrangement than the circumstance that it forms the first article of the treaty for the settlement of Europe, and stipulates in a manner of which there is probably no other example, for the mode in which the new kingdom shall be governed. It was to be a separate kingdom, "united to Russia by its consti tution," which constitution was promised by the Emperor Alexander in the treaty by which he was invested with its sovereignty. The Emperor fulfilled his first engagement within six months, and gave to Poland a charter which, if properly observed, would have insured to his new ac quisition most of the blessings of freedom. This funda mental law, though gradually infringed upon, still existed at the Emperor's death in 1825, and was sworn to by his successor, the present Emperor Nicholas, in the summer of 1826. The constitution, on all these occasions, was acknowledged to be placed under the guarantee of Europe and the faith of the Imperial House of Russia. Yet, to the disgrace of both, a savage,—the Grand Duke of Con stantine, who was deprived of the enjoyment of his birth. right in Russia on account of his brutal and revolting dis position, —was thought good enough to govern Poland, and therefore was kept from the throne of the Czars to op press the brave subjects of the Soheiskis.

(Signed) "S. HIGHAM, Comptroller General.' POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. A young man named Edward Miles, who bad robbed his toaster, Mr. Merry, a cbeesemonger, of 260 sovereigns, and pretended that he had been forcibly plundered of them near the Exchange, was brought up for a second exami- nation. The LORD MAYOR had on the first examination put questions to the prisoner, the answers to which convinced every body that if the lad bad been robbed of the money it must have been by himself. When he was confined for a short time he acknowledged to Mr. Cope, the marshal, that be knew where all the money was, and would give it up to the owner. The LORD MAYOR— find that your master has got inky or scorn. It is not easy for us, who are Conserva tives, to imagine the possibility of any set of Ministers in this country directly and openly leading a subservient House of Commons to put forth an obiter dictum, to resolve in the affirmative an abstract and perfectly useless proposition, merely for the purpose of contradicting a vote passed by the House of Lords in the regular and necessary course of their legislative duty. Having witnessed the absurdities into which the Whig Ministers have fallen when they were well pleased, it would be rash to say of any given absurdity that it is too great for them now that they are angry. But yet we cannot say we expect them to commit, even now, an absurdity 89 glaring as that of making their obedient House of Commons pass a barren resolution, and fetter its own discretion by the affirmation of an abstract proposition, in defiance of legisla tive caution, of Parliamentary usage, of public conve nience, for the purpose merely of letting the world know th it, in its exquisite judgment and exalted wisdom (the exquisite judgment and exalted wisdom of the men who nightly amuse themselves by crowing like cocks and braying like asses), the House of Lords, after grave debate, and on a question regularly before it, as an independent branch of the Legislature, has decided erroneously. The country, we are persuad e d, is w e ll sa ti s fi e d w ith t h e deci the whole of his money, and that you were tempted by the magnitude of the sum and the insinuations of a base woman to commit the robbery. lam convinced !hat if I had not in your case exercised the plan of questioning the prisoner, or if you had had an attorney here to interdict your answers, not a shilling would have been restored to your master, and you would have been convicted at the Old Bailey. As, however, you have given all the repa ration in your power, and as your father has great hopes of your reformation and intends to send you out of the country, I shall discharge you. For this act I mai►:be blamed, but I think I am justified under all the circum stances. The prisoner's father appeared to be very grateful for this act - of kindness, and stated that it was often - on the tip of his tongue to tell the prosecutor not to place too much money in the hands of the boy, not on account of any sus picion of his integrity, but because of the dangerous nature of the temptation. ster every violation of the charter took place; arbitrary imprisonments,—abolition of the freedom of discussion in the Legislative assemblies,—the transport of Poles to be tried by foreign tribunals,--summary vengeance without law or the process of a Court—and every other mode of overpowering the rights and liberties guaranteed by the Constitution, for which the Powers of Europe had given their guarantee. Nobody who has read such well authenticated instances of these infringements as are ac• cessible to all the world, can doubt that the Polish nation sion of the House of Lords upon the Lord Chancellor's Bill. And if the House of Commons be dissatisfied with it, as is probible—for the House of Commons are faithful remonstrate with the perfidious violator, who, after de stroying Poland, has been allowed to seize upo❑ Turkey, while the genius of our foreign policy has been expending itself in unavailing protocols, relative to what has been justly described as being, in comparison, the " parish squabble" of Belgic affairs. It is curious enough that while all the Ministers treated Mr. Fergusson's motion as too plain, and, consequently, offensive to the Auto crat, Sir Robert Peel opposed it on the ground that it was equivocal and ambiguous; the two proposi tions involved in the motion being that England was a party to the treaty of Vienna, and that the treaty was ♦iolated. What was there equivocal or ambiguous here? Even the Jesuitical mind of the Right Hon. Baronet could not conruse what was so cl,ar and intelligible. We may observe, at the same time, that he was the only person who ventured to ex press a doubt of the atrocities exercised upon the Poles. Even the signature of Nicholas to his own infamous Ukases, and their publication in the St. Petersburgh Gazette, was not satisfactory evidence to him, who, as an ex-Home-Secretory, must be well aware that British sub servants of the Ministry, and the Ministry is di•satisfied— it is within the proper province of the House of Commons to launch a Bill of its own, and it may make its Bill as close a copy of that of the Lord Chancellor's as it pleases. Let such a Bill be introduced if Mr. O'Connell or Lord were justifi d in resisting them, and that they could forfeit no stipulation of the treaty of Vienn i in their favour by Althorp, or any other R nlical or Whig Member, so think fit; let it be discussed in a manner as nearly approaching _ . . would vest in him would give him ample means to conso lidate his power and to establish himself in almost unli mited authority in this kingdom." Was this candid insinuation a part of " the duty which he owed to his station and office, and to the liberal profession to %%hid) an insurrection against such intolerable and unlawful out. ;hat in which the House of Lords discu;ses the ram: rages. The revolution, therefore, which commenced on the 29th of November, 1830, was a political change forced upon the Poles ; and, whether successful or not, could not deprive them of the advanta;es of the treaty of Vienna. If, as the Russian Government has always al. leged, resistance was the work of a few demagogues, then why should a whole nation bedeprived of its national existence, for the errors or the turbulence of a small mi nority? and if the revolution was the work of the whole nation, then how can it be said to be without a cause in Russian violations of compact ? No nation ever can become a rebel—no nation ever ought to become the sub ject of pun ishment for asserting its rights. It is impos sible for the Russian Government to escape from this di lemma—either that the insurrection was the work sures before it as the inferior talents, principles, and manners of the Lower House will allow; let it be carried if such should be the good pleasure of the House of Commons, and no doubt the House of he was proud to belong ?" Was it the same simplicity, and candour, and sense of duty, which made him forget that the patronage conferred I.y this Bill was part of a Bill which the Lord Chancellor, a private Member of Par .. Lords will receive and discuss such Bill wilt all the decorum and seriousness and respect which the mea- sure will in this case deserve, with all due regard to the utmost presumption in its favour that one independent liarnent, brought forward when he could have no hope of the seals, then held by the present disinterested Chief Baron ? But the Bill is fur the time lost through the virtuous instrumentality of Bishops and of proxies. . . _ _ . branch of the Legislature can, consistently with its own independence, admit any measure to derive from the an- tec,aent sanction of another independent branch of the Legislature. Let this course be pursued, and no one will have any right to object. But the House of Commons What do we infer from this ? Is it that no morells for cheapening, facilitating, and expediting justice, will be introduced or carried through Parliament? No, undoubt- edly : our conclusion is, that Bishops will the sooner and more certainly forfeit their legislative privileges ; and that proxies, those deaf and dumb automata of the art of law jects are often sent to the scaffold on less cogent evidence of crime. But it is refreshing to turn from the meagre and jejune speci il pleading of such a mind to the honest and heartfelt eloquence of Sir Robert Inglis, who, after describing the criminal acts of the Autocrat against the rights, the liberties, the persons, and the religion of the Pole., invoked upon the head of the perpetrator the Divine retribution which such national sins, sooner or later, provoke, expressing a hope, at the same time, that the House would liberate their souls, that night, by expressing their unanitni,us feelings on a subject which is so connected with humanity and the best interests of Europe.—ilforn ing Herald. will do well to reflect, or his Majesty's Ministers rather, its proper lords and masters, will do well to reflect for it, that this assembly has not been altogether so successful in the prosecution of real business that it can very well afford to indulge in such metapyhysical disquisitions as amateur debating societies pursue for their amusement, and that, while half the important measures that have been brought before the House of Commons are abandoned or mutilated of a few, and therefore aught not to have affected the rights of all, or that it was the work of the nation, and thersiore was justified by its own oppressions. This was the view taken of the late glorious struggle, and of the more recent atrocious subjugation of Poland by the English and French Governments. They represented to the Autocrat that he held Poland not by conquest, but by compact,—that the condition of the compact was the maintenance of Polish nationality or in dependence,—that the insurrection of the Poles could not release him from hi. engagements to Europe,—that the constitution of Alexander was the link which con nected his empire with the new kingdom, whose sove reignty had been intrusted to his hands,—and that the termination of the war in his favour gave him no rights which he did not enjny before the alleged rebellion which his brother's tyranny had provoked. Had the English and ;baking, will he altogether abolished. Some of the Bi- shops, we are assured, contrived to give their votes in a furtive, tricky, and manceuvring manner, so as to make themselves objects of compassion as well as of blame.

Persons might not appear in the division, nor their names upon the list ? Incredible ! Yet have we heard it said in confidence that the holy Lord of Bangor paired off with Lord Barium, while the Prelate of the pamphlets paired off with Lord Amherst, and so se cured the division on the Bill. Other names are given, and will probably be evade public. Do their Rev. Lord ships fancy they can dupe the community? They may give a few more votes against the country,--th e y may raise some notes louder the universal outcry eg mast themselves in their unnatural aspect of le.,islators,—but they only the more serve the public cause and hasten the purification of the Upper House of Parliament. We cannot conclude, however, without stating, that under existing citeutn- There is a curious story, pursued at some length, and involving many interesting particulars, in the Countess of BLEssINGToN's novel of " The Repealers," which not only possesses an air of reality, rendering it dif ficult to believe that it can be any other than a veritable relation of some passages in the life of an actual personage, but which might be thought to go far to suppress the rash conclusions as to the want of female virtue among persons of birth, too often indulged in on insufficient grounds. A certain liberty of conduct in women of rank, may, it seems, co-exist with real virtue, though an opposite inference is sometimes uncharitably drawn ; and this truth is most affectingly illustrated in the sketch which the noble authoress has drawn of the career of a certain Lady Oriel —an individual pure in mind and intention, though led by gayety of heart into equivocal situations. Can this sketch refer to any living lady ? if to, she is nobly vindicated. BURIAL EXTRAORDINARY.—EarIy in the present week the body of a soldier belonging to the 22d regiment of foot was borne to " the house appointed for all living " by his comrades, escortvd by the customary guard of honour. The lieutenant who commanded the guard, finding that the officiating clergyman was other wise engaged, and, disregarding established custom assumed a grave appearance, made, pro tempore, a clerk of the c orporal, and, p r o cee di ng w i t h the serv i ce , cons i gne d " dust to dust, ashes to ashes." The service ended, the gallant son of Mars seceded from the establishment, and the honours of war were performed over the rel4l4ls of the departed, which, by order of the rector, were disin terred on the following day, and a second time consigned to " that bourne from whence no traveller returw."— Devonport Independent. The subject of universal conversation in the political circles yesterday was the extraordinary and anomalous state of the two Houses of Legislature. It is doubtful, and at present a matter of family dissension in the Carlton Club, at what stage of the Irish Church Bill the Tory Peers will again display their majority over Ministers ; but all parties agree that the superior power they posse's they will exercise, as all vindictive persons in the posses. sion of power never fail to do. Such an opposition of relativ e force never can long subsist. No liberal Ministry in th e present political state of the Peerage can effectually or successfully conduct the government of the country— at least in as Administration opposed or in check by the House of Lords can only be considered as " half a Go verninent." It is suggested, that to avoid a collision, the Cabinet must be mad e to fit the House of Lords. This French Governments been prepared in the summer or autumn of 1831 to assert these views by arms, they would have commanded some attention ; but as Lord Palmerston mentions, that subsequently Prussia and Austria agreed with Russia in thinking that the Poles had altered their rights by their insurrection, and expressed their intention to make comnion cause with the Autocrat, it would have been useless to make any demonstration of force in favour of our views of the treaty, unless we had been ready for an European struggle. To a war, howevcrt it must com e at last. The present apparent calm cannot continue. The Court of Russia has only two courses to pursue after the capitulation of Warsaw in September, 1831. It was bound, by the necessity of its situation, either to offer such renionable conditions as the Russians could not grant, or to commence a war of extermination against the Poles which it cannot terminate. It chose the latter alternative, and the barbariti es which make us shudder, the atrocities which, L taougo well attested, are deemed by a humane incredulity to be impossible, are the consequence. The kidnapping of Polish children,—the deportation of thousands of Polish families to the neigh bourhood of the Caucasus,—the degrading cruelties in flicted on the Polish nobility,—the suppression of the Polish religion, and even the attempt to suppress the Polish language, are so many evidences that the Russian stances, nothing was ever heard at once more cheering and affecting than the conclusion of the Chancellor's speech. He does not, as men of less firm purpose of soul might have done, relinquish the people's cause in despair. Having triumphantly proved the utility of the measure which he proposed,—having refuted all the arguments which had been alleged against it,—it still may be rejected by the House ; by the House it was rejected. What, in consequence, will he the conduct of the Learned and Noble author of this 13111 ? He will still persevere in his career of public utility, and in future bring forward mea sures of legal reform calculated to serve the public to the utmost extent which they, by whom those measures must be sanctioned, will allow. Those who, now blinded by party spirit, or rendered apathetical by aristocratical in dulgence, are the impediments to success, must at list ,ee that it is their interest to serve the people. The cause must ultimately flourish which bas truth and justice for ingenious process wou!d not avert, but would accelerate a collision ; unless, indeed, the House of Commons were again construct e d to fit the Upper House by a revival of the decayed boroughs and the political disinterment of the disfranchised boroughs. Some Tories argue that the much-desired Conservative re-action might be at tained by a dissolution of the Parliament —th a t the House of Commons is unpopular, and not in unison with the opinion of the constituency. If the Tories dared to resort to this experiment, they would only, to use a !windy proverb, jump like live eels from the tryingpan into th e fire. We r e peat that it is as impossible for a Tory Cabinet to obtain by any means a manageable House of Commons, or one in which they could live for six calendar months, as to fly in the air.

ATTEMPTED MUKDEII.-Michael O'Keefe was yes terday placed at the bar, before Mr. RA WLINSON, charged under the following circumstances:— Stephen Harlow Harlow, Esq., of No. 14, Dorset place, New-road, was at present staying on a visit at the house of John Turner, Esq., No. 14, Nottingham-place. About half-past six o'clock the previous evening the prisoner, whose wife formerly lived in Mr. Turner's servico as cook, rung violently at the bell, and asked to see his wife. On being told by the footman, who opened the door, that she had left, he, after having used the most violent and threatening language towards Mr. Turner and the whole household, went away. At half-past ten o'clock he ag tin came, when witness went to the door himself, which he only partly opened, having fist secured it by a chain, and asked the prisoner what he wanted. He replied " Open the door, and I'll soon let you know what I want." Witness, observing two table knives in his hind, which he appeared to be sharpening upon each other, and fearful that, from his violent language, he contemplated some diabolical act, immediately closed the door, and ran up to the drawing-room window, where he called loudly for the police, when the prisoner decamped, but was speedily pursued, and taken. Wchard Davey, footman to Mr. Turner, bore testimony to the outrageous conduct of the prisoner. William Ireland, police constable D 107, said that on t iking the prisoner into custody, he said, "I intended to have destroyed my wife, now I'll do for her master, and destroy myself." Witness persuaded him to be calm, and he exclaimed, " - you, if you do not let me go, I'll run you through !" at the same time flourishing the knives in the air. Witness fearing that he might carry his threat into execution, let go his collar, when he ran off. Witness after having got assistance, again pursued and overtook him, when, after a most determined resistance, he was safely lodged in the station-house. The prisoner was going hack to Dublin, and called at Mr. Turner's to see his wife for the last time ; when, suspecting that she was denied to him, he be came rather warm, but denied having used any threaten ing language. He was ordered to find bail, himself in 401, and two sureties in 20/. each, to answer the charge at the sessions. STRIKING AND TRUE STORY.—Two young German noblemen having finished their College session, resolved on making together an excursion of plea sure in the Hartz mountains. Having been occupied one day in a wild part of that wild district in gathering spe cimens of miucrils, they were overtaken by a storm, and benighted; having lost their way they wandered about for some hours ; when wet and cold they came to the ruins of an old castle where they entered to try and find shelter for the night. In a low-vaulted room they were surprised and alarmed to find the embers of a lire still burning ; fearing ro bbers, they agreed that one should watch whil e the o th er s l e pt, and loading a pistol, which they happen e d t o h ave with them, they helped wood up on the fire, and o n e of them,; wrapping himself in his cloak, lay down to take his turn of sleep. His compa n i on p l ac i ng the pistol b es id e him, was passing the time in tracing resemblances of faces in the embers of the fire, when, all at once, a secret door seemed to open in the wall oppo site to him, disclosing several armed men sitting round a table ; one of these advancing, or d ere d hi m to f o ll aw him, saying that resistance was vain. The young in in. starring up, seized and fired the pistol, the man fell, when horrid to relate, he found that he had awoke from a dream and shot his friend through the he irt,— Greenock had ligencer.
