The Drainage of Land (Ireland) Bill passed through committee. The Malt Duties Bill was read a second time. The LORD CHANCELLOR, at the request of the Earl of SHAFTESBURY, post poned a motion on ecclesiastical patronage until Tuesday next. Their lordships then adjonrned. In the House of Commons Sir DE LACY EVANS brought under the notice of the House the desira bility of amalgamating the Metropolitan and the City of London police establishments. Mr. Alderman ROSE stated that exceptional instances could not justify the house in depriving the citizens of London of the control of their own police. Lord A. PAGET said that he wished to offer some remarks, since he had been in attendance upon the Royal party. He would bear testimony to the admirable conduct of the people on that occasion, but there was great confusion in the City during the procession. Sir G. GREY admitted the truth of previous statements, but thought they should take time to consider before they made any change. After some further conversation on this point, Mr. STIRLING, asked the Under-Secretay of State for Foreign affairs if he had any objection to pro duce a copy of the dispatch of Mr. Odo Russell which related to the Pope's retiring to Malta. Mr. LAYARD replied that the Government could not produce a despatch of that sort. Sir G. BOWYER said that too much importance han been attached to the affair, since it was merely a conversation. The House went into a Committee of Supply, and considered the Army Estimates, After some discussion the vote of £5,709,733 for the general staff, and other expenses were agreed to. On a vote of £1,223,936 being proposed for commissariat establishment services, Mr. Mills moved that it be reduced by £BO,OOO. After some discussion th e bill was carried on a division , by fourteen. The house adjourned at twelve o'clock. The Army Estimates were brought on last even ing, and discussed in a most instructive manner for the edification of our taxpayers —but more for those who have to contribute to the income tax in addi tion to other b ur dens.. Great credit has been taken for an improvement in the arrangement of the accounts, but the alteration seems to result in no very clear advantage'—it more for it show than econotny—jast as if you multiply 2 by 2 or add 2 and 2, the result is much the same! But these things will do for talk and to make a great fuss about, while JOIIN BULL ma y rub his eyes and yet see no further into a millston e than before. The dust raised settles dovvn in a littl e time, and all looks as clear after as before the great hubbub was got up. Great credit was taken for a reduction of a million in the army and the same amount in the navy ; but, in the end, it turns out to be no saving at all, for,having expended a great deal more than wa s wanted during the last twc years in the pur chase,of stores and other matters coming under that denomination, it was found that this year there was to much over they did not want any more ; and this is what they call a reduction of two millions in the Estimates! SVe have heard of people being THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, MARCH. 14, 1863. cheated in the dark, but our clever economists do it more openly—in broad daylight—and take due credit for the frank legerdemain of the way they do it. After some sparring between Gen. PEEL and Sir G. C. LEWIS as to details, Lord ROBERT CECIL said that Prussia had published an authorised state ment, and according to that statement the facts were as follows :—ln England the cost of each soldier was £93 15s. ; in France, £34 7s. ; in Sardinia, £3O. But here:he was interrupted by Sir G. C. LEWIS, who said that the amount of £93 was obtained by dividing the total number of the army by the total cost, and if the foreign estimates were not made on the same principle as the English estimates, which included the yeomanry, militia, half-pay, and other matters, there would be no analogy between them. This interruption but served to stimulate the in quisitor into the comparative cost with other states and the noble lord proceeded, hoping he would satisfy the Secretary for War that there was the closest analogy between them. He con tinued his quotation from his German autho rity. In Spain the cost of each soldier was £2B 135., in Portugal £2B ls., in the German States £lB 12s, in Denmark 12 guineas. Now, he meant this statement merely as an introduc tion to further inquiries. He confessed when he saw it he was much startled. Well, there' had been added to the library of the House a valuable contri bution in the shape of the French blue book, which enabled them to go into all the details connected with this important subject. He would first give the total coat of the two regular armies, and he would afterwards give them the net cost. The number of the English army was 148,242 men, and the total coat £13,157,000, being a proportion of about £BB a man. The number of the French army was 400,000 men, and their total cost £14,515,702, being a proportion of £36 as. 10d. per man. Now, that cost was calculated upon precisely the same series of charges as those of the British army. He knew he should here be met by the argument of the conscription which existed in the French army. That no doubt was a most important consideration, for the services of the volunteer could not be secured at the same price as the pressed man. It was equally true that the French army occupied a different position to that of ours, for in France it was the greatest power in the state, and upon it the crown actually rested. But he would remove that objection as to the conscrip tion by ascertaining what were precisely the non combatant forces of both armies. There were the fighters and the non fighters—the element that fought and the elements . that wrote and manu factured. There was a very large number of men provided for in the right hon. gentleman's estimate who could not in any form be raised by conscrip tion, and a reference to whom in comparison with the same classes in France was both fair and just. The noble lord found that the cost of the com [ natant and non-combatant force of the British army was £29 10s., while that of the French (400,000 men) was but £9 14s. 2d., in other words the English soldier cost two and a half as much as the French soldier, and in the non-combatant force each man in England cost three times as much as the man in a similar position in France. Why, the difference between the cost of the two forces was equal to threepence in the pound in the income tax. The difference in the cost of the central ad ministrations of the two countries was still more startling. The cost in England for 148,000 men was £182,000; the cost in France for 400,000 men was £76,000. The proportion per man in England was £1 4s. Ba.; in France, 3s. 10s. In other words, we actually paid six times as much as the French. If we could administer the English system as cheaply as the French, the present vote, instead of being £182,000, would be £28,000. Then AS to the number of employee in the War Office, emitting the offices of the adjutant general and the quartermaster general, the number in England was 665 ; in France, 480. But what were they paid ? In the English offices there were receiving more than £2,000 three persons, in the French only one; receiving more than £l,OOO and less than £2,000, in the English office 12, in the French office not one ; between £5OO and £l,OOO, in the English office 57, in the French 7. And the French office was for 400,000 men ; the English for 148,000 men. No doubt the right hon. gentleman opposite would reply that the circumstances of the two countries were unlike. He might say that intellectual wages in England were higher l i than those in France. That was true enough, tut it was generally admitted that whereas English men were paid twice as much as Frenchmen one li Englishman would do the work of three Frenchmen. But the peculiarity of the English War Office was that the clerks were paid twice as much as the French clerks for a third of the work. To all this and more Sir G. C. LEWIS made but a very ineffec tive answer. Other members took part in the de bate, which ended, as all debates on the Estimates terminate, in the votes being carried, although there was a very close division, there being only a majorit, of 6in favour-71 for, and 65 for the amendment. Another of our veteran heroes has passed from among us—Sir JAMES 017 TEAM is no more. The " BAYARD of India," the daring, high-spirited sol dier whose sword knew no stain, and whose hononr no blemish, has sunk under the toils and hardships of his laborious life, just as he had returned to enjoy the repose so hardly earned, and to receive the tokens of admiration and esteem his countrymen hastened to bestow upon him. The son of a civil engineer, without rank or fortune or influence, Sir JAMES OUTRAM has added another name to thal long list of self-made men which is among Eng land's chiefest glories. His career in India opened in 1819, when he entered the 23d Bombay Corps as a cadet, but his courage and intelligence soon obtained notice in those stirring times, and he was appointed lieutenant and adjutant to the Bheel troops. This post he filed with signal efficiency, indeed his views of our rights and duties as rulers of India always placed him on a favourable footing with the natives. From 1835 to 1838 he was employed in the Mahee Kanta, a task for which his judgment, skill, and energy especially fitted him. Afterwards, appointed aide-de-camp to General Sir JOHN KEANE, he distinguished himself greatly in the first Affghan war. In the course of it he volun teered to take despatches through Kelat and the west, which dangerous undertaking be safely ac complished in the disguise of a native 'horsedealer. His whole career, indeed, was replete with similar exploits, alternating with a sagacity and modera tion in the council chamber not always belonging to the intrepid soldier. Into the unhappy diffe rences between him and another general, of whom England may justly be proud, it is needless now to enter. Both have gone to their rest, regretted and honoured by their countrymen, and to renew the discussion between them would be an ungracious and unnecessary task. It is enough to s ay tbat Sir JAMES OUTRAM continued to maintain his opinions with consistency throughout his whole career, and in successively filling the posts of poli tical agent at Guzerat, commissioner in Upper Seinde, and resident at Sattara, Baroda, and Luck now, he succeeded in inspiring tha more worthy natives with friendship and confidence. At Baroda he turned his energies to the reformation of the great evils existing in its administration, and the sys- tem of corruption and intrigue which prevailed. Lord FALKLAND'S Government did not approve of this too active virtue, and recalled the reformer—a decision which was annulled by the Court - of Directors, Time went on, and brought an uncon genial task to the friend of the natives. Sir J. OUTRAM was selected to carry out the annexation of Oude. He fulfilled the arduous and disagreeable office with the best mixture of kindness and firm ness he could, and then, after inaugurating the British Administration in the newly-gained pro vince, he was forced to visit England to recruit his health. But rest was not for him. He was recalled from inaction by the Persian war, and commanded the expedition throughout, The results were decisive, and the short and bril• liant campaign was just concluded, when the murmurs of a coming storm broke upon our ears. At the first rumours of the outbreak of the Indian mutiny, which reached him in Persia, Sir JAMES OUTRAM at once appreciated the danger. By im mediately forwarding the intelligence by express to Bagdad and Constantinople, he was the first to communicate the disaster to the Home Government. At the same time he at once forwarded every available soldier to Bengal, in which undertaking he was ably seconded by one of his chief assistants, Gene ral JACOB. We all remember, for every inci dent in that thrilling story touched too deeply the heart of England to be forgotten in the crowd of contemporary events, how at the time of Sir JAMES OUTRAM'S arrival in India all eyes were turned with anxious expectation towards that dauntless little band who held the Residency of Lucknow against ouch desperate odds. We all re member too, how eagerly we had watched the gra dual advance of that noble soldier, who paid with his life for his devotion to his duty, bow we could not help regretting that even one so well worthy to command was to supersede him at the eleventh hour in the accomplishment of his task. Neither can we have forgotten the chivalrous magnanimity, rarer than the most brilliant qualities o f a leader, with which the newly appointed General waived his command and retaining only his civil dignity of Chief Commissioner of Oude, joined his old lieutenant in the capacity of a volunteer. Such an act was worthy alike of HAVELOCK and of OUTRAM, and the most daring and successful mili tary enterprise would not have reflected half the honour on the triumphant General, that did the renunciation of his claims in favour of one-who so well deserved to complete the enterprise so valiantly begun. Many brave soldiers and experienced generals might have accomplished the relief of Lucknow, but this act of simple and unselfish magnanimity was such as few are capable of. As we all know the force under / HAVELOCK and OUTRAM was insufficient to afford effectual relief to the beleaguered town until Sir CoLIN CAMPBELL forced his entrance. When the Commander-in- Cnief withdrew to Cawnpore, OUTRAM was left at Lucknow, where his task was no light one. The important assistance he rendered to Sit COLIN CAMPBELL in the field, and to the Governor- General in Council, are also matters of history. It may be remembered that in the famous debate in the Commons on Lord En- LENBOROUGH'S disapproval of Lord CAN NING'S proclamation to the talookdars, Sir J. OUTRAM'S confirmation of the Indian Secretary's opinion came just in time to save Lord Dment's Government from an adverse division. As it was, in the face of so eminent an authority, the Oppo sition, however eager for a triumph on a " Govern ment question," were forced to beat a hasty retreat. The need for work was done—the emergency was met and conquered, and the flame which had burned up so brightly in the darkness now slowly flickered down. Once more Sir JAMES OUTRAM turned his face homewards, once more the cordial welcomes of friends and country men sounded in his ear, and tokens of honour and esteem were proffered him on all sides. But in vain. His friends still hoped, and he himself would sometimes talk of serving his country again, but it was not to be. After a journey abroad in fruitless quest of health, Sir JAMES OUTRAM died at Pan a few days since. He has left behind him an influence and an example, perhaps nowhere more needed than in the greatest of our foreign possessions. As Lord STANLEY justly observed, it is impossible to over-estimate the good or the evil resulting from individual influence. His qualities as admi nistrator, as diplomatist, as general, were great in India, but greater was the power of his high principle, his undaunted courage, his chivalrous nobility of soul. Let those still who do not possess his more brilliant endowments take him for their model, remembering and ad mitting the truth of the words addressed to him by his countrymen at the close of a long life of honour, " By men of your stamp was our Indian empire won; by men of your stamp must it be preserved' y In the House of Commons last night Sir DE LACY EVANS brought under the consideration of the House the expediency of amalgamating the City police with the Metrcpolitan force, thus bringing the direction of the establishment under one head. The hon. and gallant member called attention the obstruction which the Royal procession me with during its progress through the City, while the route was clear and well ordered both through Southwark and Westminster, and to the melancholy loss of life which took place in the City on Tuesday night last. Mr. Alderman RosE endeavoured to excuse the City authorities ; but, in our opinion, he only made bad worse. The only point available in his argu ment being that the police arrangements had suffered owing to the recent death of its lamented chief officer, Mr. D. W. HARVEY. We do not doubt this, but surely there were subordinate officers who understood their duties ; and Alderman RosE, in order to save HIS STATE hit out right and left at every one—first he insinuated that the police did not do their duty—an insinuation unsupported by one tittle of evidence ; secondly, that no assistance had been offered to the City authorities; thirdly, that no military aid was tendered by the war-office; and fourthly, that the City authorities had given orders that the Volun teers should form mere o7namental portions of the spectacle, and that they should take no part in keep ing the line of the procession, and the fact was that they had only stood in the way throughout the day. This is curious logic. Why, of course, they would be in the way if they had received orders to do nothing from the civic authorities. Lord A. PAGET, while speaking highly of the good order of the people on the occasion, supported the assertion of Sir DE LACY EVANS, that the only obstruction which the procession met with was during its passage from London -bridge to Temple bar, and that the moment that barrier was passed, he felt like an Arctic navigator who, after having been tossed among the icebergs, at length sees clear water ahead. Sir GEORGE GREY refuted the charge that no assistance had been offered by the Metro politan police or by the War Department. His Royal Highness the Commander-in-Chief had ;nt , )rtned him that he had offered to the City e.utho ritics any military assistance they might have thought necessary for the purpose of keeping the line ; but that offer had in t he first instance been, I refused, and it was with some difficulty that the services of some mounted artillerymen had after- wards been accepted. Sir R. MAYNE, tt,o, had positively assured him that on the 28th of February he had attended the reception committee of the City, and had offered to take charge of the line along Fleet-street; but that offer also had been declined. He believed that the City police was sufficient for its ordinary duties, but that it was not sufficiently numerous to meet such a pressure as that which it had to encounter on Saturday last. The right honourable baronet went on to state that he thought it would be wrong to say at once that an amalgamation should take place, but that he was nevertheless of opinion that some alteration should take place. We perfectly concur in this. But the question arises, are the lives and safety of the public to be sacrifled to gratify the vanity of the Common Councilmen ? The efficiency of the City police is not questioned, but men cannot perform impossibilities. It is not fair to expect that a local force can maintain order in their district, when thousan is from all quarters flock in upon it elated with excitement, and perhaps something stronger. The authorities at Scotland-yard, in case of emergency such as that of Saturday or Tuesday, can call in reserves from every district remote from the scene of action. Not so the City Police Commissioner. He has no suburbs to fall back upon, and the obstinacy of the City magnates prevents him from receiving help from those who are but too willing to render assistance. LI cases of felony, or glineral breaches of the law, the two forces act in concert—Why should they not do so where the lives of the public are concerned. The slight detention which the Royal procession encountered at the Man sioe-house is of no moment, it only showed to the illustrious stranger the good feeling of the populace, whose anxiety to welcome her to these realms overcame their sense of pro priety, and likewise the bad management of a Corporation who were bent on doing her honour. The Volunteers did not shine in this affair either, but they are not the men who are expected to keep order in the metropolis except on grave (not gay) occasions. The Corporation of old bought certain privileges of poverty-stricken monarchs, which when they do not interfere with public safety they are welcome to enjoy. Let them close their gates and oblige Royalty to knock for admittance. If it flatter the vanity of the Common Council, Royalty has grace to smile at the farce. But when we find that on last Tuesday even ing seven women were crushed to death, the farce closes, and public opinion must step in and remove the anomoly of the efficiency of the first police force in Europe being negatived by the obstinacy of a factious Corporation. Her MAJESTY, with her accustomed kindly feeling towards her subjects, has directed the Home Secretary to make inquiry into the state of the families of the sufferers, with a view to relieve their wants. Should not the Court of Aldermen do something to, in some way, atone for their want of precaution, and, above all, should not Parliament revoke a: clause in a char ter injurious to the inhabitants of London, when they have revoked the East India Company's charter in tato, and done away with the monopoly of the Hudson's Bay Company. ,• s y, - • se ekt. l4l —PittfAt t i ffrf let HER MAJESTY. WINDSOR CASTLE, March 13. Their Royal Highnesses the Crown Prince and Princess and Prince William of Prussia, attended by the Countess Pourtales, Countess Bruhl, Countess Hohenthal, Count Furstenstein, and Captain Luca dou, left Windsor Castle this morning, at a quarter past 8 o'clock for Osborne, to pay a visit to the Prince and Princess of Wales. The Crown Prince and Princess will embark this evening in her Majesty's yacht Osborne for the Continent. The Queen, attended by the Hon. Mrs. Bruce, walked in the grounds of the Castle. By the last accounts received from Malta, his Royal Highness Prince Alfred is pronounced to be convalescent. The Prince and Princess Christian, with the Princess Dagmar and Prince Frederick of Denmark, Prince Frederick of Hesse Cassel, and the Duke of Holstein Glucksburg, attended by the lady and gentlemen of their suite, and by Colonel Francis Seymour, C. 8., and Lieut.•. Colonel du Plat, honoured Lord and Lady Stanley of Alderley with their company on Tnuredey evening at the ball give❑ by her ladyship in D,ver street. Yesterday morning their Royal Highnesses Prince and Princess Christian of D,umark and Prince Frederick of Hesse Cassel viewed Westminster Abbey, and were cJteducted through the Palace of Westminster. In the afternoon their Royal High nesses visited the South Kensington Museum. Last evening the Prince and Princess Christian, Princess Dagmar, and Prince Frederick of Den , mark, Prince Frederick of Besse Cassel, and the Duke of Holstein Glucksburg dined with her Royal Highness the Duchess of Cambridge, at her resi dence in St. James's Palace. ,o PRINCE ALFRED.—By the last accounts received from Malta his Royal Highness Prince Alfred is pro- nounced to be convalescent. The Duke and Duchess of Athole have left the St, George's Hotel. The Earl and Countess of Yarborough have left Arlington-street for Brocklesby Park. The Earl and Countess of Mexborongh arrived at the Pavilion Hotel, Folkestone, on Thursday. The Earl and Countess Russell entertained at dinner last night, in Chesham-place, the Count and Madlle deFlahault, the Italian Minister, M; de Caumont la Force, Earl Granville, Lord and Lady Stanley of Alderley, Mr. Chichester Fortescue and Lady Waldegrave, the Right Hon. W. E. Gladstone and Mrs. Gladstone, Sir Henry Cotterell, Admiral Elliot, Colonel Byng, Colonel F. Stan ley, Captain Drummond and Mrs. Drummond. HOUNSLOW.HEATH.—An explosion, unattended with personal injury, occurred yesterday morning, between 12 and 1 o'clock, at the gunpowder works of Messrs. Curtis and Harvey on Hounslow-heath. A pro cess was being carried on which does not require attendance. The report was loud, but the damage to the machinery was trifling, the effect having been confined to the exterior of the buileings themselves, which ars, in fact, mere timber huts. DEATH OF SIR WILLIAM STEVENSON, K.C.B. —We have to record the death of this excellent public ser vant, who died on the 9th of February in the island of which he was governor. He was by birth and extraction a West Indian. His mother, a Miss James, of Jett aica, was descended from the Col. Richard James mentioned in the second volume of the "Annual Register," that for the year 1759, as having died in Jamaica at the patriarchal age of 103. The eAecntion of George Vass for the brutal murder of Margaret Docherty, on New Year's-day, took place this morning at Newcastle-on-Tyne. WHIST IN 1680.—The following curious direc tions for pia) in g whist are extracted from a book entitled " The Compleat Gamester," of which the second edition was Published 180 years ago. The italics are ours. " Whist is a game not much differing from English Ruff and Honours, only they put out the deuces and take in no stock, it is called whist from the silence that is to be ob served in the play. They deal as before, to each 12 cards a piece, playing four, two of a side, and the trump is the bottom card. The manner of playing, the number of the game, nine (sic), honours, and the dignity of the other cards are all alike (i.e. the'same as at Ruff and Honours), and he that wins most tricks is most forward to win the set." It should be explained that at Ruff and Honours the four last cards were put out for the stock, the top card of the stock being turned up for trumps. " tie who hath ace of trumps ruff's," observes "The Compleat Gantester," " that is he takes in those four cards , and la y s out four." Vie Field. LATEST INTELLIGENCE.

THE POLISH INSURRECTION. THORN, MARCH 13. Langiewicz was yesterday proclaimed Dictator of Poland by the revolutionary party at Warsaw. Last Monday the insurgents defeated the Rus - sians, under the command of Colonel Toll, near Myszewo, in the government of Plock. The Russians had 100 killed. FRANCE. PARIS, MARCH 14. The Moniteur of this morning, after alluding in :s bulletin to the contradictory despatches respec ing the resignations of the Polish Councillors of State, says ;—" Positive information permits us to state that the Archbishop of Warsaw is among the number of the members who have tender€d their resignations." The :pinion Nationale gives some details concern ing the Polish insurrection, and bears its testimony to the spirit of the Revolutionary Gummi' tee of War saw, which, in the midst of 40,00 Russi an bil) ()nets has given to the insurrection a national, powerful. and concentrated existence. Langiewicz has nominated four directors who are to be severally occupied with war, tee interior, the exterior, and the finances. Langiewicz has completely re-esta blished himself. Twelve thousand men are under his orders. He has recently received provisions and ammunition to a considerable extent, 2,700 guns, and a reinforcement of cavalry. The Condi tutionnel says that the report of M. Larabit on the Polish petition has been delayed. The Emperor's Government has at all events given sufficient evi- deuce that it is animated by a sentiment of honour, and shows that it understands the mission of France in sympathising with all just causes, so that we can implicitly repose on its wisdom, and generosity in all that may relate to the Polish question. The Pays states that some despatches from Ber lin make mention of a stir created in at capital by the news that M. Benthonski, artillery officer in the Prussian service, has figured among the lieute nants of Langiewicz. In this event one sees the symptoms of the secret connection of the insurrec- tion with Polish Prussia. The Siecle states that some amelioration may be effected by the journey to Berlin of the Prince de Reus, Prussian Ambassador at Paris, and the voy- age to Vienna of the Prince Metternich. It is im possible for such distingutshed diplomatists not to arrive at some solution. The exchange of some words is worth more than numerous despatches. Ihe representatives of Prussia and of Austria can thus report to their august masters the state of public opinion in France, and declare that there is not a single man who is not warmly in favour of the Polish cause. This journal also alludes to a popular demonstration that took place at Marseilles in favour of this heroic nation. Groups of people went aboat the town crying out " Vive la Pologne!" and were received with loud acclamations. M. Mathieu (de la Drome) has addressed the fol lowing letter to the Paris papers, dated March 8 : " I accomplish a duty in asking your permission to remind your readers of the prognostics detailed in my note of the 233 of January. I said that from the last days of March to the let of June the weather` will be stormy and very rainy. In certain districts of the centre and the north of France the rainy days will be the most numerous. I confirm what I then said. In the course of the month, par ticularly towards the 13th, 20th, and 22d, there will in certain districts be some rain accompanied by storm. My note of the 23d of January indicates a more serious phenomenon in consequence of its ex tent. Between the 29th of Marca and the 2d of April there will be strong gales of wind with rain, which, without being extremely abundant, will water a great part of Western Europe, particularly the cities of London, Paris, Brussels, Lyuns, Geneva, and the town of Dunkirk. The inteusity and dura tion of this rain will diminish in its progress frora the west to the east. Thus from the 29th of March to the 6th of April much more rain will fall at Dunkirk than at Geneva. Navigation will be dan gerous, particularly in the British Channel. French and English seamen will not forget that from the 27th of January to the 2d of February they lost 77 ships or boats in consequence of having neglected my warning. The month of April will probably produce snow in countries in which it seldom ap pears at that period of the year. Millions of wit nesses can verify the accuracy of my prediction as to the rain which is to fall between the 29th March and the 2d April. " MATHIEU (DE LA DROME). " P.S.—A despatch announces the loss of 14 ships at the Mauritius during the Ist of February. Another despatch, dated the 27th February, an nounces inundations in the province of Constantine; the rain, starting thence, arrived in France on the 4th of March. The three periods indicated in my note of the 23d January to produce accidents in January and February have but too faithfully per formed their promise."

The following are extracts from two reports ad dressed on the 6th (18th) and 9th (21st) February by the President of the District of MiLehow, to the Civil and Military Governors of the province of Radom, numbered 2 and 2,690 respectively, and describing the acts of the Russian soldiery at Mie chow on the 17th February and following days:— " On the night of the 16th, or rather towards thE morning of the 17th, at 6 a.m,, the insurgents at , :ckt d the towi, M;'.3chow, but after r 4 struggle of -:.11 hour tin-. 1 a hail, with a detachment el Imperial 6tEttiOUo.l Rt i.iechow, were forced to retire. " In this struggle the inhabitants of Miechow did not take the least part,but, on the contrary, strictly adhered to the orders given by the military com mandant, Prince Bagratim, and those issued atter his departure on the 16th by his substitute, Major Niepielin, Brigadier of the Customs Guard. The gates, doors, and windows of the houses were shut, no one came out into the street, and the tatilitary had a perfectly free field for their operations. " Half an hour after the insurgents had been beaten back, the soldiers began to fire into the win. dows of the houses, and then, breaking in the doors and windows, rushed into the dwellings, and under pretence of looking for concealed insurgents, or of their having been fired at by the inhabitants, asked for money, dragged the peaceful inmates from their dwellings, severely ill-treated them, destroyed the furniture, and sez?.d on every article of value they could take with them. Many of them, after drinking freely of the strong liquors they found in the shops, disregarding the orders of their officers, perpetrated most horrible outrages, burn ing the houses in various parts of the town, and, taking advantage of the confusion, seized peaceful citizens, beat, wounded, and murdered them, rob bing and plundering everything and everybody without exception. "Neither official authority, rank, nor uniform, was a safeguard against their attacks. M. P. Orzechowski, a magistrate known to the authori ties for his official zeal, and lately recommended by Prince Bagratim for a recognition of his merits, came out of his house in full uniform to request the soldiers to cease firing at his house; but these, calling him a conspirator, seized him and dragged him to the guard-house, and on arriving there killed him at a short distance from his house. His dead body was then stripped, and the soldiers amused themselves for half an hour by piercing it with their bayonets and pikes ; after which they left it in the street, where it lay for some time, until at length the unhappy widow of the late magis trate prevailed on some of the less h.-rdened to take the body into his house, which, however, was soon after burnt by the soldiery, with the body in it. "The officers and some of the more humane of I the soldiers proeseded to several houses, recom mending the inhabiants to leave them, as the whole town would he ournr. These unhappy people, With their wives tied children on their bqcks, were accordingly escorted to the monastery ; but while on their way they were robbed of their mousy, watches, and clothing by the soldiery. "Thus even military authority was completely cusp,-nded. The soldiers even fired at the officers who offered to assist the inhabitants. Eirry moment new fires appeared in every quarter of the town ; and these fires were, it should be remembered, not the consequence of a battle, or even of a feeling of revenge against the defeated insurgents, but were caused by the defenders of order in the moment of victory. " Several officers, such as Major Zabkow,Kwia . kowski, and others, did not even consider the monas. tery a sufficiently safe refuge for the inhabitants. Accordingly, after obtaining the authority of the military commandant, they assembled the civil em ployes and the inhabitants, with their families, and sent them out of the town under a military escort. These unfortunate people are now dispersed about the adjoining villages. (Signed) JANITSZKIEWICZ, President of the District." The above passages are taken from the first re port which was sent from Uniejow, where the president, together with the rest of the civil ad ministration, had taken refuge. The second, sent from Miechow, gives the following additional par ticulars : After describing his stay in the village round Miechow, until he deemed it safe for him to return to that town, the president says : " To-day I arrived with my companions at Miechow, where I found the skeleton of that town, which had before been well and even handsomely built. The acting military commandant recom mended me, on my arrival, only to keep four em ployes with me at Miechow for the transction of immediate business, and to send all the rest back, as he ciuld not answer for their safety at Miechow. "The following is all that remains of the chief streets of Miechow :—Four houses in the market place ; three houses and nine huts in Szkaibinicrski street ; two small huts in Cracow-street ; four in Wolbrom•street ; 12 in Jabow-street ; six in the Podzamek ; and 11 on the Terraces. Three only of the above houses are of respectable appearance, the rest are hovels. Smoking ruins alone mark many quarters. Since Tuesday, although it is Lent, the church has been closed, and no religious services have been performed. Nearly all the Government offices have been burnt, with all their papers. During three days the soldiers were constantly setting fire to fresh buildings. Besides the tow.e, the farm of Great Zogotze and the village of ZAgrody, outside of it, were burnt. The rosaes of the town, both in buildings and moveables, were immense. The whole population was left without furniture, clothing, or provisions. The soldiers seized and killed all the cattle and sheep. "So far as is yet known, the following unarmed inhabitants, besides the magistrate, were killed, although taking no part in the struggle;— " Kulagowski, F. Gurak, Wainrych, a carpenter, a labourer, two labourers, a gardener, and a boy, on the farm of Great Zagorze. The following are wounded and prisoners : " ZAjonczkiewicz, aged 76, a wealthy house holder; Szostak, aged 60; Gurbiel, a landholder, and about 20 others, some of them under age, are also wounded, but at liberty.

JEM MACE AND AN UNILNOWN.—This affair, We regret to say, begins to look extremely " fishy." It may be re collected when_ the match was first made we 'stated that ru mours were current that the Unknown was a myth, Olt forward by Mace, in order to gain time towards his hold ing the belt. These rumours we then said we believe( were unfounded, as we could not see wherein the advan tage would lie, as no time would count unless Jesse won a battle. Notwithstanding this, the rumours still prevailed, and we were assured that Mace was getting money in every direction Irons his friends, but that eventually there would be a forfeit. To this we replied cuibono ? It the Uukfrown „, forteits ,o , tree will clearly gain nothing, as he must, in that case, return the money he obtains from his friends ; while, 1 ( n the other hand, if Jeru forfeits everyone will know it is not from want of money, but sheerly for the purpose of fleecing all those whom he has found to back him, and this was a policy he was not likely to. adopt. Still w a s the same thing dinned into our ears, and we were pesitivell assured that the Unknown did not exist, as we should see. We regret, extremely now to say that the progress of events has taken an awkward turn. In our last we announced that Mace was at Jack Hicks's on the occasion of the last deposit, but that neither the Unknown nor any of his friends appaared. Owing to the bustle attendant on the preparations for the procession on Saturday, it somehow escaped our memory to inquire whether the Unknown or Mr. Bernard on his behalf had staked the money with our cashier, and it was not until too late to do anything lest week that we made the discovery that he had not done 5 0 ' Under the circumstances of course Mace is entitled to a forfeit, should he see fit to claim it. On Friday we received a letter from Mr. Bernard, the nomiu M backer of the Unknown, saying hebad not heard from Nes° York by the last mail, and did not like to put down all more money, and would forfeit unless we would give hirn till the 18th, when there would be another m ail in. 1° this letter there was no address, and as we know nothing more of Mr. Bernard than his name it was of course un likely we should accede to his request, more especially as l was to Mace he should have applied for time instead o f to us, as the forfeit was then an accomplished fact. It now remains, therefore, to be seen whether, in Ihe face of the rumours so prevalent, Mace will claim the forfeit, and a° throw himself open to the accusations that are certain to 19° made, or whether he will give the desired time to Mr. Bar nard to go on. It would be very hard upon Mace to pro.' nounce the whole thing a scheme on his part, as he has al l along denied all knowledge of the American party, nor hoe anything reached our ears beyond rumours to indicate COta: plicity on his part. 'We certainly have instituted inquirleef in every direction in the hope of discoverin g some news c: the Unknown, but with the exception of a tip from Shef field that it was one Ned Price who once fought Australian Kelly, we could hear of nobody at all probable as a cuat°: mer. It is awkward, to ray the least of it, tha t the bile: ness should wear such a suspicious aspect, an d we trn 6` that another week will clear it up. We off er no opinioi./ whatever at present, and the manner in which the affair 10 handled by Mace himself will have much to do with th e treatment of the position we shall have to adopt. The . Mace is entitled to forfeit we again s a y is quite clear. 1110 own feelings on the subject must be his guide in the m atter , If innocent, which we have no reason to doubt, it would b° hard that he should forego the forfeit ; if the contrary, it le a dangerous game, and one which will infallibly lose WO all his well-earned laurels.
