THE INSURRECTION IN POLAND. (From the Special Correspondent of the Times.) LEMBERG, July 11. The Galician expedition to Volhynia is now com pletely at an end. Rumour says that it is about to be renewed, and the men who ran away declare that as long as they have a drop of blood in their veins they will strike the Russians wherever they find them on Polish soil. In the meanwhile I may saw a few words about the late failure, which need not have been an utter and instantaneous failure -- ... had the expedition been properly directed. It is a fortunate thing for the Poles of Volhynia that the long prepared invasion was checked as soon as it was—just as it would have been a fortunate thing for the Galicians if the insurrection of 1846, which led to the Gallician massacres, had never been at- tempted. Nevertheless, if the leaders of the na- tional movement really thought it worth while to take Radziwilow, that remarkably unimportant town might, with a little foresight, have been taken, or the 1,600 Poles who were ready to march iato Volhynia on the morning of the Ist might have passed Radziwilow with the certainty that the 800, 900, or perhaps even 1,000 Russians who occupied the place would not follow them. They could have executed that march into the interior which evi dently was contemplated, and which, according to some of the Polish telegrams, was actually per formed by Wysocki the day after his return to Galicia, and by Horodykci the day after his death. In spite of terrible proofs to the contrary, the Poles still maintained that the Ruthenian peasantry would join them in the end, and that in order to gain their support it was only necessary to appear among them in great force. Tha insurrection in Volhynia had, it was said, failed in the first in stance simply and solely because the long me ditated expedition front Galicia had not been ready to enter the province (as according:to the plan of the National Government it should have done) while the insurrection was going on. It was resolved to try again, and this time to begin from without. The entrance of a strong, well-officered corps from Gali cia was to be the signal for all the intending insur gents in Volbynia to rise, but the rising was, of course, not to take place until the Galician corps had advanced some distance into the interior. The scheme for invading Volhynia from Galicia was in some respects well-conceived. The frontier was to have been crossed simultaneously at three points. Wysocki, with 1,200 men, was to have marched upon Radziwilow in front, while Horo dycki and Minniewski, each with 650, were to have attacked it on the right and left. A day or two afterwards Wiszniewski was to have entered Vol bynia further north than Minniewski; and close to the right bank of the river Bug, while Rozycki, one of the host leaders who has yet appeared, was to have penetrated into the some province further south than Horodycki and near the frontier of Podolia. Finally, Goluchowski was to have taken a detachment of cavalry into Podolia itself, and thus from Podolia to Lublin, and along the whole line of the Galician-Volhynian frontier, the Russians would have been attacked ; and though some of the dttachments were sure to be destroyed it was thought certain that others would succeed in ad vancing far into the interior of Volllynia, and that once there they would either gain the active sup port of the peasants or at least show themselves strong enough to insure their reapeet and, to a cer- tain extent, their assistance. The chief appointed to direct the combined movement was General Wysocki, formerly the commander of tho Polish Legion in Hungary, and the title given to him by the National Government was " General Com- manding in the province of Lublin and in the Ru- thenian provinces." On the day fixed for the commencement of this important movement, in which, had all gone well, some 4,000 men would have been engaged, it was found that only two detachments, those of General Wysocki himself and of Col. Horodycki, his imme diate supporter on the right, were ready to start. This unreadiness can be attributed to no want o foresight on the part of the commissaries of the ex. pedition. Arms had been purcLased and confis cited, purchased and confiscated again, for three times the number of men composing the expedition, and although many of these men were arrested and imprisoned, it turned out et the last moment that there were more insurgents than there were arms for them to carry. Fresh seizures of rifles, bayonets, and revolvers were made on Sunday night and early on Monday morning; and on Monday afternoon, when Wysocki's and Horodycki's detachments were summoned to the woods, it was found impossible to equip for the field more than 750 of the former and 450 of the latter. Staying in Eastern Gallacia, I had witnessed the preparations made for the departure of these detach ments for some weeks beforehand, and was much im pressed by the unanimity and mutual confidence ex isting among and between all classes except the very lowest, without which it would have been impossible ever to have got them to the frontier. I knew be forehand that the orders of the National Government were obeyed by the Poles in all parts of Poland, but it was something to see them obeyed, and some thing more to see the national cause systematically aided without any orders on the subject being trans mitted at all. The rich have given willingly and unwillingly a great deal towards the expenses of the insurrection, but as far as my observation goes I am inclined to think that the poor, ac cording to thei r means, have given more. I have never heard any poor man make such a remark, but on the contrary, I have heard it generally acknowledged that the great proprietors in Poland have done their best, as far as money contributions are concerned. However, I found insurgents staying in the houses of the poor as well as in those of the rich, and treated wit h a sort of paternal affection everywhere. Indeed, the kindness and hospitality show c onditions of men who called the mselves tO a ms e l v l all s e classes insurgentsss and were, if anything, carried to ex cess, sons received and entertained stranger fo s r o m n atnhye per sonsun- derstanding that they belonged to the Volhynian expedition, but without havingry positive proof of the fact. Even the German o fa m ale i n some places were touched by this general confidence, and when ordered to institute a " revision" would give a hint beforehand that at such an hour their arrival might be expected. Then the men would go into the woods, the horses would b 3 taken o u t o f t h e stables and sent into the fields, while the saddles and bridles were buried in the garden. I have seen packet s of omor sa ddles and boxes of arms left at a house without fr any notification as to where they came whither they were to be sent. In such cases the man who took them in put them in a place of safety, and a few days afterwards would receive a line of writing, or, more generally, a message by word of mouth, telling him to forward them to some house a few miles nearer the frontier. If the whole country (with the exception of the peasants) did not form one gen e . ral association for promoting the interests of Poland, this unbounded trust from Pole to Pole would soon lead to the exposure and frustration of all the national schemes. As it is they are carried out up to a certain point, and have never once broken down from any bad faith or want of faith on the part of those called upon to assist in executing them. The district in which I was staying was filled with insurgents. appointed for the most part to the central detachment under the immediate command of Wysocki. Many of them belonged to the emi gration, and had abandoned the little positions which, after many years striving, they had contrived to obtain in England, or mere generally' in France, in order to see their country once more and strike " The young men one more blow on its beh alf. here are admirable," they said, " sacrificing them selves for a cause which is a very aesperate one if we are never to be assisted from abroad. As for us it does not matter. We are old fellows, and would rather die in Poland than any where else; and then we have not led the sort of life which attaches men to this world." One, an old soldier of the Polish army, told me that he had been for thirteen years working at a desk in an insurance office, and that he was not sorry to get a little fresh air and have an opportunity of riding on horseback. Another, an officer of the same army, had been keeping a shot), andwas making humourous speculations as to how i n h i s absence the business would be carried on. A third saw hisnative land for the first time, THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, JULY 16, 1863. and was saying " what nice people the Poles were." This gentlemen was full of the historical remi niscences of Cracow, whence he had ju rrived, and I ventured to ask him how he felt on seeing that the funeral mound of Kosciusko had been con verted into a fort. He said that hlt pleased, for if he found himself growing weak in battle he should only have to think of such insults as these to be able to give one more thrust. Among the insurgents belonging to Wysocki's corps I found a young lady so timid and so afraid of being looked upon as a wonder that she kept herself in almost perpetual seclusion, but so brave that on the day of battle she insisted on being placed in the first line, and greatly distinguished herself in the action. Her relations had done their utmost to persuade and even force her to remain at home,but she had threatened to commit suicide if she were detained, and they feared that she might keep her word. She had changed her name from "Marys" to " Maryan " (the Christian name of L a ngiewicz), and was known in her company as "Panne Mary an," or, as Englishmen, if they had met her in the „ woods, maid would have called her " Maid Marian . Marian has now returned to her f amily , and sorry to have to add that this pro digal lam daughter — prodigal, at least, in acts of daring—is badly wounded. some I h o a n d e w b e o e u n l d t coal ll f t o h r a r a t e e a rl y and o d n ri v S e u m n d e a somewhere in the middle of a wood , wheremle s w h h o e u r l e d t m he eetsome friends, who would t hen show detach mentinwe ohtichatnlinoemy accompany to itsetrovethweasfcroonnctieearl.ed, Theand enable me person expected came at the appointed time, to th men tioned a name, and t hen, instead of taking me heart of the forest, drove me through a beautiful woodland country to the house of a neighbouring proprietor, where, besides the host, I found one of the chief promoters of the expedition, two of the principal officers of Horodycki's corps, and few other insurgents lying down on the lawn, and engaged in the peaceful occupation of smoking. One of the officers took out the map of the country about to be entered (it was a photographic print from the pri vate map of the Russian Staff), and pointed out to me the place of assembly in the forest, the spot at which the frontier war to be crossed, and the road by which it was intended to march on Radziwilow. At lunch I had 75 pamphlets on the Polish question given me to read, but preferred eating. Afterwards the men who were not going to fight occupied them selves with pistol shooting, fencing, and other war like pursuits until dinner, while the officers went singly to visit the first place of en campment, and came back with the alarming news that an Austrian patrol had been seen hovering about the spot where most of the arms lay buried. In the evening a " revision" was announced and the house cleared of insurgents. All through the night messengers were continually ar riving, and the first news in the morning was that the arms had been seized, that the labour of three months had been lost, and that the expedition could not start. Ultimately it was discovered that about a hundred rifles bad been taken, hut that there was still nearly three hundred in a place of comparative safety. The question was raised as to whether it would be advisable to postpone the departure of the expedition until more arms could be procured, but t was soon decided not to risk, by further delay, ,he seizure of the whole stock. At last, early on Monday afternoon we got into a cart, built without springs for the same sort of rea son for which Highlanders are said not to wear trou sers, and went into the wood. Turning from the high road into a cross road, from the cross road into a lane, and from the lane into a private path, we came, after many windings, to a little glade, where the long grass had been crushed and flattened as it by a roller. The former presence of human beings in this sequestered spot was indicated by an old boot, which Roby would have disavowed, and a cask containing gin—from which, as it was nut yet empty, it was presumed that the insurgents could not be far distant. They were so well concealed, however, that although we had good guides (including a forest keeper of the estate), it was not easy to find them. At last we burst upon a band of brothers, who were engaged in the difficult and to them evidently novel occupa tion of trying on boots. The boot so contemptuously abandoned it: the first halting-place had apparently been the only one among some 30 men The major was answering questions on all sorts of subjects from boots upwards, and was at the same time superin tending a distribution of pistols, which, being larger than any pistols ever seen before or after wards out of a pantomime, looked very terrible, and produced (as they were intended to do) a fine and Healthy effect on the Ruthenian village population. The peasants looked a good deal scared as the in- surgents marched through the fields, but were soon reassured, or pretended to be, when a few words were spoken to them in kindness. Of attacking or molesting the insurgents in any way there was, of course, no thought, more particularly as the half detachment, consisting of 200 men, lolked in the moonlight, as it straggled along in double file, like a much larger force, and was pronounced by impar tial spectators to be at least a thousand strong. Two peasants, however, were overheard whispering that they had a great mind to go off and tell the Aus trians. They were arrested, asked if they wanted to be hanged, and, replying in the negative, were told how to avoid that fate so far as it was likely to be inflicted upon them by their Polish compatriots. They were then put into a cart and driven along after the detachment, and were not liberated until everything had been made ready for crossing the frontier. We marched during nearly all the first night, passing from the moonlight into the darkness of the dense woods, where nothing but glowworms, and here and there in the insurgent column the light of a cigar, could be seen, and then again into the moon light, until at last we came to a river, or mountain stream (running down from the Carpathians), and sa t down by the side of the wat ers an d suppe d . Most persons said that it was one of the best suppers they had ever had (of some of our friends it was the last); and the breakfast to which a select number were invited was also much admired, especially some tea-soup made in a saucepan, and served out in saucepan-lids, wine glasses, and wooden ladles. During the halt, of which advantage was taken to eat a hurried breakfast, Horodycki, th e eom . mender of the detachment, joined us, bringing with him 200 infantry and from 40 to 50 cavalry. The rifles, bayonets, and scythes were now disinterred, or pulled out of their hiding places in the brush wood, and I found that this p a rticular batch had all been concealed at about 20 paces' distance from a public road running through the middle of the wood. The Austrians had DO, found them because they had been hidden where the Austrians were sure not to think of looking for them. As we were about to go away from the cottage where we h a d t a k en our ear l y t ea a plain and sh rill ' voiced woman came out and complained that her husband had deserted her in order to go and fight the Russians. It was impossible not to understand that he had chosen the least of two evils.

It must be with the view of avoiding them that so many of the sons of the proprietors go into the civalry,which, composed as it is, of all sorts of horses and all sorts of riders, is utterly useless, except for the service of the camp, and is scarcely ever employed in action. I saw that some of thenew corners were dispirited at the idea of having such riffraff for their comrades, and one of the officers, noticing the fact, said to me, " These young men have come to the camp under the im presaion that they would find every one here as good as themselves. I wish such were the case, but we must do our best, and we will try to make aol- diers of them all when we get on the other side of the frontier." As for the offic ers , th e y w e re all men who had seen plenty of service in foreign armies, or who had distinguished themselves in the present Polish insur rection. Horodycki, the chief of the detachment, will be remembered by persons familiar with the incidents of the Hungarian war of 1848-9, as having defended the bridge and the passage of the canal at Temesvas against an overpowering force while the Hungarian army was effecting its retreat. Major Horodycki lost half his battalion, but he succeeded in keeping the enemy at bay. He was a simple, straightforward man, a good deal sterner than the majority of Poles, and apparently not much given to seeing visilns. Accordingly I could not help attaching importance to his words when about half an hour before he crossed the frontier he began speaking to me about the general prospects of the insurrection: He had been occupied all day in giving directions on one subject or another, and now, at half-past 9 in the evening, sat down to take some refreshment. He had a little claret in his flask, and before drinking part of it wished pros perity to England, and said how glad he was to find that the English had so much sympathy for Poland. I answered that, although this sym pathy existed and was sincerely felt, it was by _ no means certain that it would lead to a decla- ration of war against Russia. He replied that the time for intervention had not yet come; that he had never expected there would be any intervention before the spring; and that before then the Poles would make such efforts and prove themselves so strong that we should not refuse to give them a helping hand, and that no more would be necessary. I do not think Horodycki shared the opinion of some of his countrymen as to the good will of the peasants towards the insurrection. At least, he turned some Ruthenian peasants out of the camp who had come there with gifts of fresh butter, sheep's milk cheese, and potted cream. He feared these Greek Catholics et dona ferentes, and said, when I asked him whether their offering was not a good sign, " They are with us now that we are here, they will be with our enemies when we are gone. I know them, and have sent them away." I _ _ _ must add that a Ruthenian priest and his wife brought something more than butter and cheese ; they brought their nephew. This was a testimony of sympathy which could not be mistaken, and the young man was accepted with thanks and sent across the frontier. Several ladies also visited the camp, and so inundated the place with strawberries and cream that Horodycki, fearing no doubt that discipline would be relaxed and the forest of Nak washa conversed into a Capua, turned back and give orders that no more women should be suffered to approach. Then Horodycki had to preside at a trial, and though there was no execution I saw the execu tioner. A certain cavalry man, who spoke Polish, Russian, German, and French very imperfectly, and swore from time to time in what was supposed to be a sort of Moldavian patois, had got drunk on the march, and used his sabre in lieu of a riding whip. When remonstrated with, be said it was all right, and at the same time broke his weapon over the back of the unhappy beast ridden by the man who had dared to interfere with him. Thought ful beneath the Polish beech, in the notorious posi tion of Tityras sub tegmine fagi, reclined the chief tain when the culprit was brought before him in the custody of two sentinels and a third person, who I was given to understand had the functions of provost-marshal assigned to him. Outward appear ances were decidedly against the offender, and when Horodycki drew himself up on the grass, looked at the broken blade, and began to expatiate on his crime, I thought his last hour had arrived. The sentence, however, passed on the prisoner was sim ply that he should be turned out of the detachment. He entreated so earnestly to be allowed to remain that I thought he must be begging for his life, and ultimately the chief told him to go and lie down and get sober—the first part of - which injunction was faithfully performed. The second officer, the major commanding the infantry, was Synkiewicz, son of the historian of that name, and captain in the army of the Kingdom of Italy. Synkiewicz, without knowing his country from personal observation, had fallen in love with it through imagination ; but he said that he found the Poles whet he had always imagined them to be. Some of the Poles do, indeed, come up to the ideal which their warmest admirers have formed of them, and these were the men that Major Synkiewicz habitually associated with. This does not alter the fac; that the greater part of the detachment consisted of persons whom honest scavengers would have had a right to despise. It would have been inspiriting to most persons, but to me was saddening, to see the delight with which this officer looked forward to the hour fixed for entering Volhynia.--for I know that he must die there, or come back disheartened. He would not allow that anything was wrong in the detachment. If some one said that the arms were a little clumsy, he replied that the greatest battles of modern times had been gained with arms not nearly so good. As to the men, they were not pre possessing in appearance, but would know how to fight. As to numbers, if four hundred andfifty men were really determined to cut their way through an opposing force, they could do it, however large that force might be. As he was talking to me about the Opera, and of the invigorating effect which music, or even the recollection of music, had upon him, I said it was a pity (as it really was) that Mario could not see his costume, which was a sort of intel ligent first tenor's version of the Garibaldian make up. He was told that the Russians would be sure to pick him off; bat he replied that he wished to be conspicuous for the sake of his men, and that the Russians, if they aimed at him, wonld not hit him. They, however, sent a bullet through his long chestnut coloured beard when he was inside Radzi wilow, and afterwands brought his horse down, an unpleasant animal, when in the darkness of night it was all but impossible to saddle, and which ought not to be regretted. " Good bye," said Synkiewicz, as he mounted his beast ; " the Russians are close at hand. We shall attack them at 3, and be in Radziwilow at 4." I said I would look for him there. " Don't do any thing of the kind," be replied, " until you are quite sure the place is ours; and remember that we may be is the place one hour, and out of it tne nes'. The first half of the detachment, consisting of 200 infantry and an advanced guard of cavalry, had already been taken across the frontier by Captain Tohorezewski, an officer who served with Horodycki in Hungary, and who has probably many friends in g e w t h a e s C a r t m a c o h a e n d w t a o r t . h C0pt..13 ri t j i s a h g o e s a k d i - , E qt tl at g r l t a e n rs ti' dn as ri h n another of Horodycki's comrades in Hungary, took charge of the second half, and was accompanied by Horodycki and Synkiewicz. Tne rearguard (ca valry) followed some hours afterwards, under the direction of a Polish officer, late of the Russian army. The night which, like the first night of the march had been brilliantly beautiful until 10 o'clock, suddenly darkened, just as the detachment began to croos—and the rearguard went over the frontier in the midst of thunder, lightning, and such torrents of rain that after the lapse of a minute the dense wood af f orded no protection whatever against it. The last man to leave was an enterprising and watch ful Hungarian servant, who had brought nothing y into the camp b ut an oidh w or h se o , vvi g4 t i h iop a e p d ofoiecenton a rope tied round his n ose, and magnificent chargeirs,hi n fi g ial a en lo d n id g l arrayed sabre. and equipped, and brand We had had one alarm in the afternoon, a few passing shots having been directed at the outposts, who returned the fire, but without any effect beyond that of causing Horodycki to dis turb the sleepers in call to arms.

At last daylight broke, and we got into peasants' carts, and were driven rapidly towards the village of Nakwasha. After us came two carts,containing the nearly lifeless bodies of two poor fellows who had sank under the fatigue of 24 hours' nearly incessant marching. We had not proceeded far when a horse without a rider came galloping out of the wood. Next came one of the mounted guides, with the news that the rear guard had been fired upon, charged, and routed by the Cobsacks. He was told that he lied, but persisted in his statement, which turned out to be true. At Nakwasha we wrung the water out of our clothes, and then made by a roundabout road for Brody to seek the detachment of Wysocki, which, however, had already crossed the frontier, and was, we were assnred,in actual possession of Radziwilow. How this news turned out to be utterly false has already been told. Horodycki and Wysocki arrived in the neighbourhood of Radizwilow nearly at the same time. Both were late, but why Horodycki advanced at once instead of waiting for Wysocki, and why Wysocki waited two hours close to the frontier instead of advancing at once, has not yet been explained. It appears now that the 800 Russians who drove Horodycki's detachment out of the town, and com pletely routed it, were the same men who afterwards fought Wysocki and ultimately compelled him to cross the frontier. The Polish papers estimate the number of Russians who took part in these battles at several thousands (from 6,000 upwards). I say 800 on the authority of one of the Polish function aries of Radziwilow. A Polish officer in the Aus trian battalion, stationed at Brody, thinks there were 900. An insurgent s who was inside Radzi wilow and by the side of Horodycki when he fell, tells me that the Russians drawn up in the market place numbered only 500; but there were many more concealed in the houses. Of the officers I have mentioned Horodycki and Jagninski were killed. Tchorszewski returned without a wound. Synkiewicz, after two narrow escapes, had to take refuge in a large pond or lake, where he remained for eight hours, while the pea sants, who had been pursuing him, stood on the banks armed with scythes, and ready to murder him if he ventured to return to dry land. The major had swam to a little island of mud, and there re mained concealed among rushes and weeds, until he at last thought of t a ki ng hi s Italian hat off, and sending it floating along the water. Then the peasants thought their victim was drowned and went home to dinner. The last I heard of the gallant Major Synkiewicz was from a young lady, not to be confounded with " Maid Marian") who is among the wounded in one of the hospitals at Brody. She told me that she was lying on the ground in a wood, when "an Italian," to her amazement, came out of the water close by, and helped her to get to the frontier. She said that the Italian spoke Polish very imper fectly, and that he was the major who commanded the infantry in Horodycki's detachment. rian outrage," more base, more brutal, and more bloody in its attendant incidents even than the ordinary run of such sanguinary butcheries. Mr. Francis Fitzgerald, the victim upon this occasion of the bloodthirsty resentment, miscalled the " wind justice of revenge," and so often exhibited by the small farmers of Ireland, was the owner of a mode- rate property upon the borders of the two counties of Cork and Limerick, and within sight of the Kil mall station of the Great Southern and Western Railway. Among his tenants were two brothus of the name of Dillane, " comfortable" men in the Irish sense of the word, fairly educated for their station, intelligent, and "respectable." Some paltry quarrel with respect to the terms of a lease had taken place between themselves and their landlord. Unable to bring him over to their own view of the question, they quietly determined to kill him. At the same time from motives of fear either of the man himself, or of the possible consequences of their intended crime, they resolved to carry out their bloody intentions by proxy. It speaks volumes for the state of pub lic opinion in the district that they had no diffi culty in securing the services, for a few pounds, of a couple of ruffians who, so far from having any cause of complaint against the man whom they undertook so readily to murder, had never seen him in their lives. Armed and primed with instructions by their employers, they met Mr. Fitzgerald walking near his own house in company with his newly-married wife, accosted him, so as to make sure that he was the right man, and then and there butchered him upon the Queen's highway. There was literally no pretence even of concealment. The deed was done in open day, and the assassins leisurely walked off, leaving their victim writhing on the ground, with his young wife hanging over him, secure that no hand would be raised, no tongue would move, to in tercept their retreat. For once they were happily mistaken. One of the actual murderers, Beckham, was captured red-handed, and underwent the penalty of his crimes, after having been tried by a special Commission within a month of its perpetration. The other, Walsh, wandered for some weeks a fugitive in the mountains which divide the counties of Lime rick and Cork, was finally hunted down by the police, tried at the ensuing assizes, found guilty, and executed. The terrors of the law were brought _ _ to bear even upon those who bad harboured him, and another " respectable" farmer, named Cooke, paid a heavy penalty for concealing a murderer from the police. It remained to discover and render amena• ble to justice those who, in a moral point of view, were even more guilty than the wretched instru ments of their vengeance. At the spring assizes of the present year Denis Dillane, the elder of the two brothers, was arraigned as an accessory before the fact. Of all other convictions there is none which it is so difficult to obtain from an Irish jury as one of this particular character. It is, therefore, greatly to the credit of the Government, and especially of the Attorney-General, by whom the prosecution was conducted, that, without the semblance of any attempt to strain the law, Denis Dillane was found guilty by a mixed jury of his countrymen, end hanged. The last ecene of the tragedy has now just closed. Michael Dillane, the second brother, had been in custody for upwards of a year awaiting his trial for the same offence. On technical grounds it was considered inexpe dient to proceed upon the capital charge. To the indictment upon the minor counts a stout defence was made, without effect. He also was found guilty, end sentenced, after an impressive warning, by Mr Justice Keogh to ten years' penal servitude, the heaviest penalty which could be inflicted by law, and which eves aggravated by the refusal, under the previous circumstances of his crime, of leave to the culprit even to bid adieu to his friends. HERALD.—We see no reason to doubt the gen uineness of the remarkable correspondence between the King and the Crown Prince of Prussia which we published a few days since. The Frankfort newspaper in which it first appeared was estab lished to advocate the interests of Prussia in Southern Germany. It has close relations with the Prussian liberal party, and in the existing condition of the Prussian press, is just the vehicle which the Crown Prince would select—for if the correspond ence is genuine it was published with his authority and by his orders—for the explanation of his opinions and position. The speech he delivered at Dantzic showed that the Prince wished that the people should know that he was opposed to the violation of the constitution ; and actuated by that desire, he is very likely to have resolved upon giving a fuller explanation of the course he has taken and of the policy he intends to pursue for the future. There is nothing in the letters themselves to throw any doubt upon their authenticity ; and until the Prince gives them a categorical repudiation the public may fairly accept them as genuine. The publication is calculated to exert a most happy influence upon the conflict now waging in Prussia. The people have known before that the Crown Prince did not ap prove the glaring violation of the constitution per petrated by the decree against the press, but they will now learn that he has from the first opposed, with as much vehemence as was consistent with his position, the reactionary policy of his father. He objected to the dismissal of the Auerswald Cabinet, and was tauntingly told by the King that he had an opportunity of enacting the usual part of a Crown Prince. As far as he could he resisted the subse quent steps in that downward career upon which William I. then entered. He made no parade of opposition, and courted no popularity by censur ing his father. But a l his influence was employed to disabuse him of the prejudices and errors instilled into him by the reactionary clique which surrounds him. At last, on the 31st of May, before setting out for his military tour, after the session of the Landtag had been closed, but before the ordinances were issued, the Prince addressed his father a firm but respectful protest against any invasion of the law. It had no effect. The King signed the de cree, which, in one of the letters of this series, he describes as being in accordance with the charter. This decree determined the Prince to keep silence no longer. He addressed a formal protest to the Cabinet against the decree, which he declared ille gal and injurious to the state and the dynasty, ad dressing at the same time a private remonstrance to the King, and a day or two afterwards took the occasion to make public his sentiments offered by the speech of the Burgomaster of Dantzic. These pro ceedings seem to have brought upon him a severe rebuke from the King, which provoked a firm and dignified reply, in which the Prince declares that he owed it to his conscience and his position to pro fess in the face of the world his .pinion of a mea sure which imperils his future and that of his chil dren, avows his determination to retract nothing, and makeas courageous a stand for his future as the King was making for his, but offering at the same time to resign his commission in the army and his place in the Council of State, and reside abroad. The conduct of the Prince, as thus sketched by himself, was alike prudent and honourable. It must confirm the Prussians in their hope of a great and a free future under his government, whilst it will encourage them to bear with patience and firmness all the provocations of the King and his advisers. Irritating as it must be to them to see their consti tution shamelessly set at naught, to feel their liberty of , speech and of writing illegally curtailed, to be ridden roughshod over by a handful of poor and proud lordlings and renegade democrats, they will have the resolution to bear these annoyances, to stand upon the legal ground they have chosen, and refrain from any of those impatient and suicidal out bursts to which the soi•elisant friends of liberty in this country taunt them, in the conviction that the system of illegality cannot last long, and that when it falls law and liberty will be established upon founda tions which cannot be shaken. They know that the Crown Prince will' revert to the constitution and concur in its development as soon as he obtains power, and they know that they will not have to wait long for that ; whilst his influence will be con tinually directed to the end of bringing the King back to the constitutional path. And whilst the exposition of the Prince's feelings and purpose will inspire the Liberals with encouragement, it will paralyse the efforts of the reactionary party. These men will not care to commit themselves irre trievably lo a cause which they know can, at the best, triumph only for a few months. They will not incur the hatred of a people and the scorn of the man who must in a few years be their King merely for the small advantages to be gained by the favour of a monarch who, in the natural course of things, has not long to live, and who may, for aught they know, yield in a few days or weeks to the remon strances of his wife and son. The leading principle which actuates King William in all these illiberal measures has been, as he has often said, and we have no doubt with perfect truth, his determination to preserve the imperishable rights of the Crown for his successors. Might not his Majesty, who as suredly would be glad to be on good terms with his subjects, and is, as it is known, painfully afflicted by his present unpopularity, reflect that it is of very little use taking measures to preserve rights for a son who has declared his repudiation of those rights and his resolve to surrender them. The King is embittering the last years of his life and im perilling the interests of his family to preserve for his son privileges which the latter desires to see abandoned. Of what avail is it for the King to establish the Royal right to dispense with the constitution if his successor is determined to aban don it ? His Majesty may not see the absurdity of such an effort, but his councillors will. Much as they may hate liberal institutions, t hey love their own safety more. Herr Von Biemark and his col leagues do not confine their hopes of life or even of power to the reign of King William. The emphatic declaration of the Crown Prince will soon put an end to the unconstitutional regime. It w'll deprive the King of the instruments necessary for the exe cution of his plans. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. -- *- HOME CIRCUIT.-CHELMSFORD, July 15. The commission was opened here yesterday, and business began to-day, Mr. Baron Bramwell presiding in the Crown Court, and Mr. Baron Channell in the Civil Court. The calendar is light in point of number, containing only 20 cases, but several of them are of a very odious description. There are five cases of arson, five cases of violence to the person by beating, or cutting and wounding, exclusive of the odious cases above mentioned, two of which relate to young children, one of them an infant under four years ; so that, considering the small number of cases, the amount of crime is rather serious in character. As regards the civil cases, the list is unusually light, with the exception of the Roupell case, which comes en to-mor row. Besides that there are only four or five cases, none of them of any interest. SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. -.-____.4,..__ ‘ -----,- TIMES.—The Fourth of July, which accident made the "great day " of the political history of Americo, see ms destined to be marked less brightly in the military annals of the nation. I n the two successive years of war t h e ann iversary of the Inde pendence of the R e p u bli c h as dawned on fields o s battle. In 1862 the " Glorious Four th "found the first Army of the Pot omac t o iled in its advance on Richmond, end resti ng " sa fe," but r. t victorious, on the bank of the James River. It was told by President Lincoln that "it had not been beaten," hut the ensuing months saw e xhibited all the con sequences of defeat, and the negative assurance of the President was probably but a slight consolation. The day has come round again, and again it saw the hostile hosts frontin g eac h other after a sanguinary conflict. Last year the series of battles of that campaign had ended; but by the last intelligence it is evident that on the morning of the fateful day the decisive engagement had yet to be fought. To the point of time to which the reports are brought down, the incidents are much clearer than any details of the previous movements. From the mo ment General Hooker was superseded the Federal army abandoned the line of the Rappahannock, and, changing its front, marched northwards, and, crossing the Potomac, placed itself between the Con federates and Washington. The advance was not made au hour too soon' and was probably only de layed by the divisions between the Federal Govern ment and Hooker and the shaken confidence of his officers and troops, which had " lipaired his effi ciency," In the short time that ha„ elapsed since he took the command General Meade has displayed considerable activity- It was too late to press on the rear of Lee or harass his advance. The whole of the Confederate army had succeeded in effecting a second invasion of Maryland, and had gathered on the northern frontier of that State and in the neighbouring State of Pennsylvania. The capitals of both were alarmed without being roused, for the fear o f occupation b y the enemy had not excited any violent impulse of self-defence. The task of repelling the invasion, or at least saving , fell on General eade Washington from a n attack and his troops, which, compared with the M hasty levies of the States Militia, must be considered veterans. But bow completely all the conditions the telegrams describ e . Th e of the war have cha n g ed is apparent from the pre sent position of the armies and the scene of the two days'fieifield ofhard battle is due n orth of Washingt on , a t Get _ Lee movin g in the larger tysburg, little mor e than 50 miles from the seat of the Federal Gove rnment. To the north and west of this locality t he bulk of the Confederate ar m y appears to have b een fou dat last. Roughly armiesspeak pbaohthannoekGeneral have described a cir c l e f rom t h e Rap curve to his pre sent position, and G e n era l M ea d e on a smaller one, keeping clorer to W as hi ngton itself as his centre. The battle, or th e ser i es o f i battles, commenced on the let of July. A corps of the Federal army, entering Gettysburg on the eastern side of th e town, praised th roug h, an d en countered a part of the Conf ederate force, under General Hill, to the west of it. The Confederates were coming from the direction of Chanabersburg, a town a few mile s to the west of the s pot wher e the armies came up on each other. Th e en g a g e ment commence d immediately , and for two hours the Fe deralethenvi evidently e reinforcedGeneralnt lyoti t nßeyynolds held hi s groun d . H e was General Ho war d, b u t b ot h were u of the Confede rate troops su p erior to thei r own. They were out flanked on the ri g ht, and we re con tending with thi s difficult y when G eneral Ewell b m d. They had met a portion bere came up with a force which was an army in itself, and it is estimated at no less than 25,000 men. The Confederates opened a cross fire of artillery, which is described by the Federal reports as " destruc tive," turned both flanks, and, Reynolds' corps giving way, Howard could not hold his ground, and both fell back to a position south of Gettysburg— that is, retreated. General Reynolds was killed, General Paul also fell, and the Federal loss in this engag ement they state to have been 4,500 men, with an "immense number of officers." The battle was renewed in the afternoon of the 2d, south of Gettysburg. the two corps repulsed on the previous day haying fallen back on the main body of the Federal force. Of the second day's engagement the Government have published portions of Gene ral Meade's report. He states that the Confede rates, " after one of the most severe conflicts of the war, were repulsed at all points." It seems to have been principally an engagement of ar tillery, the hostile batteries firing, on one point, at the distance of two miles. The day of the 2d was not decisive. The fighting was stopped by the close of night, and each army occupied nearly the ,4arue ground as when the battle commenced. Gen. Meade thought he perceived indications that Lee was retiring, but a reconnaissance discovered that he was still "in force" on the field. There is no report. official or other, later than the night of the 3d. The whole result, therefore, appears to be that the Federals in second engagement did not recover the ground they hid lest in the first. But the con flict must have been, as Gen. Meade describes it, severe. He more than once mentions the heavy losses his troops have sustained, and infers that the Confederates must have suffered equally. The pro portion of officers killed is again unusually large. Three Federal Generals have fallen, and four are returned as wounded. In fact, though the Govern ment has seen enough of " promise" in the conflict of the second day to justify the President in issuing an address to the public on the event, his words seem saddened by a sense of a loss among the troops too heavy for the slight result their courage has purchased. A retreat, a drawn battle, and another, probably a greater, engagement inevitable, there was scarcely enough of success in the achievement of the army to enable the President to rise to the full tone of congratulation. PosT.:—The Limerick Assizes, which havej ust ter minated, may, we hope, prove to mark an era in the history of Irish crime. It is little more than a twelvemonth since our readers were startled by the details of what it i 3 the fashion to term an " agra- CROWN COURT. A respectable•looking young man, a journeyman baker, 21 years of age, pleaded guilty to stealing a mare worth £2O at Lis ton, in this county. The prisoner no douLt pleaded guilty from the hopelessness of the case, owing to the in genuity of a police-sergeant named Savill, who captured him under the following circumstances : On Monday morning last, about 6 o'clock, a stranger rode into Braintree, leaving his horse at the Black Lion Inn. His object appeared to be to sell the animal, and later in the morning he succeeded in making an exchange with Mr. Bateman, jun., of the Horn Inn, for a pony and £3 10s. in money. A third person, who witnessed the transaction, having slight misgivings as to its bona fide nature, gave in formation to Police-sergeant Savill, who forthwith started in quest of full intelligence. On seeing the horse at the Horn Inn and hearing from Mr. Bateman the particulars of the purchase, he was at once satisfied the animal was worth twice as much as had been paid for it, and conse quently suspected that it had been stolen. He immediately went in search, and succeeded in tracing the man into the Coggeshall•road. Following in his wake, the officer reached as far as Blackwater, when he obtained the use of an old overcoat, slouch hat, &e., wherewith to disguise himself, and also the assistance of a countryman who was driving towards Coggeshall. Riding along, Sergeant Gavill by and by saw, near the entrance to Coggeshall, the stranger whom he was in quest of on the back of the pony. The officer gave his companion full instructions as to how far to drive be yond the stranger and his pony before he got out, and on what terms to offer to deal for his purchase, at the same time bringing the cart in which he sat near the pony's head. The countryman closely followed his instructions, and at the precise moment the officer himself remarked upon its price, &c. Descending from the cart, more minutely to ex amine the pony, he inquired of the man how long he had had it, to which interrogation he replied, "Two or three months." Tbis answer satisfied the officer as to the nature of the case, and,when close to the man, he pushed the ques tion further by desiring full information, and inquired whether he had not made an exchange at Braintree that morning. The man said he had not, and, in reply to fur ther interrogation, said he had no name and did not know where he came from. Thereon the officer collared the man and disclosed his uniform, at the same time informing him that he should apprehend him on a charge of stealing a horse, which he had exchanged for the pony in his posses sion. The officer then took the prisoner to Coggeshsll, where he hired s cart, and, with Mr. Bateman's pony, brought the prisoner to Braintree. On his way to Brain tree it appears that the prisoner made an admission of the whole transaction. Mr. Pearce, for the prosecution, called attention to the proloptnesss and ingenuity displayed by the police officer. The learned Baron said the same observation had occurred to him on reading the depositions, and he was happy to have it mentioned, as he thought the officer had done his duty in a very praiseworthy manner. The learned Judge then sentenced the prisoner to a year's imprisonment. Francis King, alias George Smith, was indicted for steal ing a horse, the property of his father and brother. On ac count of their near relationship the case was of a painfu character. Mr. Martin conducted the case for the prosecution; Mr. Croome, appeared for the defence. The horse, which was only worth £5, was the joint pro perty of the prisoner's father and brother (who were in part nership as tinmen), and who were the chief witnesses against him. The horse had been turned out on the common at Bentley, in this county, in March l.ist, and was found soon afterwards in the possession of the prisoner, who made false statements about it. The father, an old man, was quite bowed down, and ap peared to give his evidence with great pain. Ho was called to prove that he had not given the prisoner the horse. Be ing pressed by the prisoner's counsel as to a supposed con versation in which it was suggested that he had stated that he had given it to him, he fell down in the box—a piteous spectacle, trembling all over. After a little interval, during which he was revived by water and allowed to sit down, he recovered so far as to be just able, in a weak voice, to answer the few further questions it was necessary to put to him; and his answers were to the effect that he had not given the horse to the prisoner, who, when taken, said ho had bought it of his father, and did not know where he was ; and after wards said he had bought it of his brother, and then of his brother-in-law, and then that he had it of his brother-in law for work he had done for him. The jury found the prisoner Guilty, and they also con victed him upon an indictment for burglary. It appeared that he had been already convicted of some similar felony and sentenced to four years' penal servitude, and had committed these fresh offences as soon as he got released. The learned Baron sentenced him to 14 years' penal servitude. Wm. Wootton, a letter-carrier at Romford, was indicted for stealing postage stamps from a letter to the value of 4s. 10d. Mr. Hurrell and Mr. C. Pollock appeared on the part of the Poet-office, which prosecuted; Mr. Pearce appeared for the prisoner. The prisoner was employed as an assistant letter-carrier at 9s. a week, and suspicion having arisen he was watched A letter containing the stamps stolen was put into the post office, addressed to Messrs. Ind and Coope, the well-known brewers at Romford. The letter had come into the hands of prisoner, who never delivered it, and the stamps were found upon him. He now pleaded guilty. The learned Baron sentenced him to the usual punish ment in such cases—four years' penal servitude. NORTHERN CIRCIIIT—Yogi, July 14. CROWN COURT. (Before Mr. Justice Mellor.) Michael Egan, aged 27, and William Simpson, aged 29, were indicted for the manslaughter of Samuel Land : at Batley, near Leeds, on the 20th of June last. Mr. Maule and Mr. Battye prosecuted, and Mr. Kidd de fended the prisoners. The prisoner Egan was deaf and dumb, and unable to be made to understand the proceedings against him. By signs he signified to his brother tlt it was not he who did it, and his lordship having had the jury sworn to try whether the prisoner stood mute of malice or by the visitation of God, they found the latter, and a plea of not guilty was directed to be entered for him. The prisoners it appeared were navvies, and were drink ing in a publichouse at Batley on the afternoon of the day in question, when some one said that Egan, the deaf and dumb man, could fight any man in Batley. The deceased (Land) said he thought not, and Egan by signs was incited by the prisoner Simpson to fight Land. Land waved him off, and told Simpson he did not wish to fight, but at length Egan struck him, and then Land said he could not stand that, and the men began to fight; in the course of a scuffle Egan contrived to knock Land down, and in his fall he so injured his head that he died soon after in consequence. The jury found both prisoners guilty, but recommended Egan to mercy on account of the natural disabilities he laboured under. His Lordship, in passing sentence, said he should listen to that recommendation. He thought there wa. a difference in the case of a man set to fight who was not able to hear what was said about him, and of a man in full possession of all his faculties, who urged on such a man to fight. The sentence of the Court was that Egan be imprisoned with hard labour three calendar months and Simpson six calen dar months. John Crossland and four men named Davies, Barrett, Calcraft, and Reinham were indicted for wounding with intent to maim or disable or do some grievous bodily harm to a policeman of the West Riding, named Houlton. Mr. Maule and Mr. Whittaker prosecuted ; Mr. Campbell Foster defended the last four prisoners, and Mr. Serle the prisoner Crossland, It appeared that on the 22d of June last a prize fight had been got up at Wakefield between two men named Hobson and Bushby, which was arranged to be fought at two o'clock next morning in some meadows about a mile out of Wakefield. There the pugilists and their friends proceeded, a ring was staked out, and the men began to fight, Cross land being the second of one of the men and Davies a bottle holder, They had fought about three quarters of an hour, when a policeman in plain clothes, named Houl ton, accompanied by an Inspector of Police named Coop, entered the meadow and proceeded to the ring, and Houlton, putting his hand on one of the stakes attempted to pull it up, saying at the same time, " Now, lads, give over this." There was a cry of " The Bobbies are com ing," and instantly Holton was told by Crossland to leave go of the stake, and with the stake was struck a violent blow on the back of the head, which rendered him insensible for some time. As he was on the ground a bottle like a ginger beer bottle, which contained brandy, and which had been in the hands of Davies; was thrown at him and broke on his head, and while down Barret took a running kick at him and kicked him in the ribs, and Calcraft had a short stick with which there was some evidence that he struck the prosecutor on the arm. The prisoner Reinham also used vio lence. The crowd, which amounted to about 150 people, then dispersed, and Houlton was taken home and put to b e d . He was found by the surgeon, who was sent for, in a wea k state, a severe scalp wound on the back of his head f rom a blow which had fractured the skull, and which moat pro bably had been caused by the heavy stakes produced, but which might have been done by a bottle, but he thought not. There were other bruises about him, but no wounds. It was contended for the prisoners that they had no com mon intent to wound the constable, and that each must be responsible for his own act only ; and for the four prisoners last named it was urged that the injuries they might have inflicted were bruises and not wounds, and under this in dictment they ought nut to be convicted. For Crossland it was contended that it was not satisfactorily proved that it was he who struck the blows which wounded the prosecutor. His Lordship, having summed up, directed the jury thct if they thought a common purpose sprang up on the instant to prevent the constable stopping the fight, as the prose cutor had unquestionably been wounded, they would be all equally guilty; but if there was not a common purpose to wound the prosecutor as he had been wounded, they might find one guilty of the felony who had inflicted the wound, and the rest guilty of unlawfully wounding, or they might find all guilty of unlawfully wounding, if they thought they had a common purpose, and had none of the intents laid in the indictment. If they thought the prisoners had not a common purpose to injure the prosecutor then each man was answerable only for what he did, and a wounding by each must be proved to convict each. The jury found all the prisoners guilty of unlawful wounding. His Lordship sentenced them each to nine calendar months' imprisonment with hard labour. In the civil court to-day two causes were tried of no kind of interest to any one but the parties concerned, ono cause being whether certain piece goods were delivered according to contract, and the other whether five per cent. or 7 per cent. had been agreed upon as the amount of interest to be invested in a mortgage deed, the plaintiff and his witnesses swearing direcly contrary to the defendant and his wit nesses. MIDLAND CIRCUIT—NoRTHA.mrToN, July 14, NISI PRIUS COURT. (Before Mr. Justice Williams and a Common Jury.) BRAY V. THE HON. W. FITZWILLIAM AND ANOTHER. This was an action for an illegal distress, and which, from the number of points relating to the law of landlord and tenant involved in it, was of considerable interest to the legal profession. Mr. Sergeant O'Brien and Mr. Beasley appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Boden, Q.C., and Mr. Field for the de fendant. The plaintiff is a turner occupying a house and also a shop, held by distinct agreements of the Hon. W. Fitzwil liam. At Lady-day, 1863, the defendant became indebted to his landlord for half a year's rent of the house, amount ing to £5, and in a further sum of £3 15s. for half a year's rent of the shop. Soon after the rent became due Mr. Fitz william directed the other defendant to distrain upon the premises in respect of th© rent so due, and it was out of the distress made upon that direction that this action arose. The plaintiff contended, as to the shop, that the defend ants had seized tools of trade when there were other articles unprivileged which were available and sufficient for the pur poses of the distress, and that they had also seized tools which were in actual use at the time of seizure ; while, as to both house and shop, it was suggested, though not very strongly urged, that the landlord, having by notice in writing appointed a day for the payment of the rent subse quent to that on which the rent actually fell due, and also subsequent to that on which the distress was actually made, had precluded himself from resorting to his remedy by distress until after the capita' ion of the substituted day by payment. For the defendant it was alleged that the notice in writ- ing to pay the rent on a subsequent day had not been given to the plaintiff, and was not intended for him, but had been left with a neighbour of his, who held under the same land lord, from whom the plaintiff had obtained it. It was sub mitted that there was no sufficient distress upon the pre mises without seizing the tools of trade, because certain gas fittings relied on by the plaintiff as available for distress were fixtures, and so exempt from seizure. Lastly, it was contended that the tools of trade alleged to have been seized while in actual use were not protected, because they were merely lying upon a lathe at which the plaintiff was working, and were not actually in his hands at the time of seizure. His Lordships placed the different points of law distinctly before the jury, who found, first, that the gas•fittings were fixtures, and were not available for distress ; secondly, that, excluding these gas-fittEngs, there was no sufficient distress upon the premises without seizing the tools of trade not in actual use ; and, thirdly, that the bailiff had seized other tools of trade in actual use at the time of seizure ; and they found a verdict for the plaintiff upon the last point, with 40s. damages. Mr. Boden obtained leave to move the Court above on behalf of the Hon. W. Fitz william, on the ground that he was not liable for the wrongful act of the bailiff in seizing tools of trade in actual use, such seizure being wholly un authorised by him. COUNTRY MARKETS. ,~.
