Treasurer—Edward Masterman, Esq. This was the first hospital to introduce the principle of free and instant admission to the destitute sick, without the for mality of governors' letters. It is entirely devoted to desti tution in its most pitiable form—viz., that which is accom panied by sickness and disease, and is now of sufficient magnitude that, with adequate support, it may be rendered capable of admitting into its wards a very large proportion of the casual sick of this great metropolis. It requires but the funds in order to have 500 beds available for the reception of these the most wretched of our fellow-creatures. Moreover, it gratuitously affords medical advice and medicine to more, on the average, than 3,000 out-patients a week. The Weekly Board feel it their imperativecontin duty to make an EARNEST APPEAL to the public for ued support, to enable them to admit and relieve the distressing cases that daily present themselves.

The Committee of Management have to state that. since he beginning of the year 1860, the Royal National Lifeboat Institution has expended £32,000 on various Lifeboat Estab lishments on the Coasts of England, Scotland, and Ireland. The number of lives saved by the Life-boats of the Society, And other means, since its formation, is 12,800 tor which services 82 Gold Medals, 718 Silver Medals, and £16,480 in cash have been paid in rewards. The Institu tion has also expended .£67,e00 on Life-boats, Life-boat Transporting -cart iages, and Boat-houses. The Committee desire to express their grateful sense of the generous support which they have received from the British public during the past few years, a support which has enabled them to establish their present magnificent fleet of 123 Lifeboats on the shores of the United Kingdom. Deeply sensible, however, of the great responsibility that rests on them to maintain their fleet in a thoroughly efficient state, and its Crews practised in the management of their boats, which can only be effected by a large and permanent annual income, they earnestly appeal to all classes of their countrymen to aid them in upholding and perpetuating so great and truly national a work.

Naval and Military Intelligence. THE NAVY. Her Majesty's iron steam storeship Industry, Master Commander Edward C. T. Youel, which has recently been commissioned and refitted for foreign service, was yesterday proceeding alongside the coal hulk Mercury, off Woolwich dockyard, in tow of the stearntug Bustler, in charge of the dockyard authorities, when, holding her way too strong, she fouled the bows of her Majesty's ship Supply. The injuries sustained by the latter vessel are but slight. The foremast of the Industry, however, which was quite rotten inside, was carried away, and fellover in three pieces on the deck. The occurrence was, no doubt, exceedingly fortunate, as on examination of the wreck it is palpably certain that the mast must have gone with the first strong breeze the In dustry would experience in her approaching voyage to the African coast. Fortunately only one man man, a rigger, was injured, and but slightly. THE ARMY. A rumour was current in military circles at Chatham yesterday that, in consequence of the menacing news recently received from America, the Government intend to despatch some additional troops to augment the forces already in British North America. The troops at present stationed in our American dependencies include the let battalion of the Grenadier Guards, the 2d battalion of the Scots Fusileer Guards, the Ist battalion of the 16th Regiment, the 4th battalion of the 60th Rifles, the 62d Regiment, the Ist battalion of the Rifle Brigade, and the 10th battery of Royal Artillery, forming the garrison of Montreal; the Ist of the 15th Regi ment, and the 63d Regiment, at New Brunswick; the 3d battalion of the Military Train, the 15th battery of Royal Artillery, the 4th company of Royal Engineers, and the 2d battalion of the 16th Regiment, at Nova Scotia; the 30th Regiment, at Toronto ; and the 47th Regiment, at Kingston. The whole available force of the Royal Engineers at head-quarters, Chatham, have been employed for some months past at the practising-ground at tached to the Royal Engineer establishment, Brompton, in making the necessary excavations, forming parallels, driving galleries, and preparing the batteries and subterranean earthworks in antici pation of some siege operations on a most extensive scale which are to be carried out at the garrison in the course of a few days, and in which all the avail able troops will take part. The whole of the opera tions up to the present time have been car r i e d on under the superintendence of Lieut.-Col. Lovell, C. 8., the director of field-works, and, in order that no delay may arise in the completion of the siege works, the officers and men of the Royal Engineers have been employed night and day for some time past. All the batteries are now completed, and these are model works of their kind. Although no day has been officially announced for siege operations, it is pro bable that they will take place on Friday next, by by which day the entire works are to be completed, orders to the effect having been issued to the Royal Engineer department of Chatham garrison. It had been anticipated that the Prince of Wales might have been present on the oceasion, but as his Royal Highness has proceeded to Scotland it does not seem now probable that he will visit the gar., rison to witness the siege operations. An order has been received at the camp at Col chester permitting soldiers to volunteer into any of the regiments now stationed in New Eealand—viz., the 2d battalion 18th, and the 40th, 57th, and 70th Regiments. All men who volunteer and are found fit for actual service will receive the same bounty of £l. A number of men from the different depots at Colchester have come forward for service in the colony. Capt. Jones, of the 97th, has received orders to join the service companies of that corps, and Capt. Pocklington, of the 2d battalion 5111 Regiment, will join the depot companies. Silver medals for long service and good conduct have been presented at the camp to the following non-com missioned officers and privates :—Privates Barrugn and Crookshanks, of the 44th; Sergeant ;Pearson and Private Lovelock, of the 97th ; and Sergeant Craig, of the Army Hospital Corps. These medals are in•some instances accompanied by gratuities of £lO and £5. They were presented by Col. Guy, C. 8., commandant of the troops in camp. A circular bas been issued from the Horse Guards stating that his Royal Highness the Field- Marshal Commanding-in-Chief has been pleased to direct that the last post shall beat off at 9 30 p.m. from the Ist of May to the 30th of September, and at 9 p.m. from the Ist of October to the 30th of April at all camps and garrisons, unless the rule be specially altered by the general officer commanding the district, who is to report his reasons for taking such a course. The gentlemen cadets studying at the Royal Military Academy at Woolwich will close their half-yearly vacation on Wednesday next, and re sume their studies on the following day, Thursday, Colonel M'Murdo on Volunteer Discipline. On Saturday Col. M'Murdo inspected the St. George's Rifles in High Park, and at the close, in the course of a very complimentary speech, he re marked on the subject of Volunteer discipline, in connection with which he took occasion to refer to the recent accident at a Volunteer review in Devon shire. He said :-- Devonshire, the day before yesterday. " I will tell you what happened at Haldolne,aiwn nearly 3,000 men of all arms pass me. As they were wheeling at the moment of marching past the grand stand, on which were seated some 200 of their dearest relatives and friends, gave way with a terrible crash. Those dear friends were, I myself thought, precipitated into eter nity. Men of St. George's, what was the effect of discipline on those 3,000 Devonshire Volunteers who were then being inspected ? At that awful moment not a man moved out of his rank. Although the hearts of those brave men must have sunk within them at the thought of some near relative or friend being crushed to death, like good soldiers they kept their ranks, trusting their commanding officers would do all that was possible for the relief of these so dear to them. (Much applause.) They knew the best way of rendering assistance was by remaining firm, and being employed under the direction of the commanding officer. I ordered a hruomaei a d s could u l d couple of t roops of cavalry to keep back the crowd fm an pr on eff th eeu e r sufferers. The other volun teers, knowin g that everyt hing nt their e w i ra ranks a b n o k i n e g. (Cheers.) done tht t Not a sound w as to be hea rd - amongst them. (Great If one m an h ad said, My wife is there,' oappr,lmauyse.) daughter is there, I must go to see her,' what would hav e b een the result ? It would have been one mingled mass of confusion. I therefore say it is most creditable to the volunteers that, when tried under such painful circumstances as those, they showed the good effects of their disci pline. (Hoar, hear.) But therremiesananoththaetr time areand by ; brought in front of an that when m th a e y vo ca lu m n a tee b rs y enemy. It is almost like child's play now com pared with the realities of that time when yo u would be going into action. B u t a man in judici ously rearing his children teaches them so that they may be best prepared for the stern experiences of after-life. I tell you this : if ever you are brought in face of an enemy, and you see your dear friends falling around, and your hearts prompt you to fall out of the ranks to help them, don't do it. Never forsake your own post. Let the man lie where he falls. You must stand to the point in which yo u are placed, so that you may achieve the object for which you are there—victory for your gl or i ous country. (Applaus e .) And when victory is secure it will enable those who are specially appointed to render the greatest service to those who have been wounded. Your gallant officers who have medals on their breasts--(cheers)--can bear me out in say. ing that it is too much the custom of men to fall to the rear by way of helping comrades. However desirous they may be to assist a wounded comrade, it exposes them to the suspicion that the service is one for the friend and two for themselves. (Hear.) Enormous Capture of Blockade Runners. LIVERPOOL, Monday. From advices received here by the Persia we learn that the Federal cruisers were making sad work of the steamers and sailing vessels engaged in running the blockade. Letters from Nassau state that between the 6th and Bth of July the following vessels cleared for St. John's, N. 8., but in reality for Wilmington and Charleston :—The Charleston, Racoon, Antonica, Ella and Annie, Hebe, Kate, Elizabeth, Pet, Cronrtadt (just arrived from Hull), and Lizzie. On the 3d and 4th the steamers Banshee and Juno sailed. Of these steamers four have been captured—namely, the Racoon, Charleston, Lizzie, and Kate, while it is reported that the Ella and Annie had been chased ashore at Charleston, and destroyed by the Federal gunboats. The other steamers captured are the Emma, Merrimac, and Kate Dale, together with about a dozen schooners and brigs. The Merrimac was captured by the United States gunboat Iro quois, on the morning of the 25th ult., after a chase of seven hours, having run the block ade of Wilmington the night previous. She is a side-wheel iron steamer, of 535 tons measurement, 600-horse power, and built in London in 1862 fox the Confederate Govern ment. She had a cargo of 576 bales and 34 half bales of cotton, 11 kegs of tobacco, and a quantity of turpentine, &c. The Lizzie was captured on the 15th ult., after a chasing of two hours by the Santiago de Caba, while at tempting to run into 'Wilmington. Her cargo con sisted of dry goods, brandy, soap, provisions, &c. The Emma was captured on the 24th ult., in lat. 33.41 N., and long. 76.13 W., by the United States transport Arago, Captain Godsen. The Emma was observed early in the morning of the 24th, and as she looked somewhat suspicious chase was at once given by Captain Godser, although the Arago was conversation took place.

The New City Traffic Re The forthcoming operation of the act at the in stance of the corporation of London towards the end of last session of Parliament, for regulating the traffic in the streets of the city and for preventing obstructions, is looked to with some expectancy and interest. As its provisions are cumparativety little known, and as it is a time-honoured legal maxim that ignorance of the law excuses no one, we give a summary of its enactments for the benefit of all con cerned. The preamble recites, what has been matter of notoriety for years pa s t, th a t it is expedient t o make better provision for the regulation of omni buses, cabs, cart iages, carts, and other vehicles pass ing through the city or it s lib er ti es , so as to prevent obstruction and enable the increasing traffic to be conducted with less delay and in a safer manner. With that view the Act empowers the Court of Aldermen to make from time to time such by-laws and regulations as they may think necessary, and these are to apply to three principal subjects. First, the Aldermen may prescribe the routes to be fol lowed and the particular street or parts of streets to be used by omnibuses, cabs, an d vans; secondly, the height and width to which the heavier vehicles, such as carts, waggons, and drays, for the convey ance of goods, wares, and merchandise, using the streets of the city between nine in the morn ing and six in the evening, may be laden ; and, thirdly, th ey may determine the per i od of the day or night during which carts, waggons, or other vehicles wholly or partially laden with timber, met a l, or any other material exceeding 25 feet in length or 8 feet 6 inches in breadth, may be allowed to pass or be prohibited from passing. The Court of Aldermen is empowered to regulate the mode of distinguishing hackney cabs when empty and when actually plying for hire ; the time of day during which coals may be shot into cellars through openings in the streets; and to appoint places at which street shoeblacks may stand to exercise their calling, and to determine the number of such shoe blacks at each place. The by-laws may at any time be varied, altered, or repealed, but not in a manner repugnant to the general laws of the king dom or to the provisions of this particular Act. They are also to be enforced by penalties not exceeding 40s. for each offence, with the alter native of a term of imprisonment. For purposes of the Act and the recovery of penalties certain pro visions of the City of London Police Act are incor porated, and are to be read as if re-enacted. A right of appeal is given, or rather an existing one in like cases continued, to a superior court. No by law or alteration in a by-law is to come into opera tion until one month after its approval under the hand of one of her Majesty's principal Secretaries of State ; nor shall any by-law or alteration be sub mitted for such approval until one month after the intention to apply for the approval shall have been publicly notified by advertisment. The by-laws, when so settled and approved, are to be posted in a conspicuous manner on the Mansion -house, the Royal Exchange, Guildhall, Temple-bar, the Cus tom-house, and the General Post-office, St. Martin's le-Grand. The Act is to continue in force for seven years after its passing, and thence to the end of the then next Session of Parliament, and the expenses of obtaining it are to be borne out of the City police-rate. Much of the merit of its passing is due to Mr. Deputy Lott, who has for years, in season and out of season, urged the necessity of some such measure on the Court of Common Coun cil. On the other hand, Alderman William Law rence has invariably deprecated any undue interfe rence with the conveyance of merchandise, or any unnecessary restrictions on trade within the city, such as were proposed, as unwise and vexatious. The duty now devolves upon the Court of Alder men to devise a code of regulations in conformity with the statute ; and as the Act has been pro cured at the express instence of the corporation it self, and through its own law officers, it may be presumed they will set about the matter forthwith and with an earnest desire to give it full effect. WORCESTER HOP MARKET, AUGUST B.—We have been blessed with a continuance of fine, warm weather with some rain, which has been most favourable for the growin g hop plant, and it is now coming well into burr With every prospect of an abundant crop. The fears enter tained a fortnight ago that after all the crop of 1863 would be but a poor one appear to have been banished by the favourable turn in the weather, which has certainly im proved the healthy appearance of the crop. The bine is in a forward state and early picking may be expected. There is little or nothing doing in the market, the stock being Pretty Well sold out, Arbitrary Edict of General Mouravieff. General Monravieff has recently issued the fol lowing edict : " In consequence of communications made to me by the military chiefs that many bands of rebels are dissolving, and that the peasants, nobles, citizens, and similar vaga bonds constituting the same, are appealing to our mercy, I have already given permission that the peasants who volun tarily and contritely return, may be detained in their for mer dwelling-places and delivered over to the heads of the communes until further orders. I further decree as fol lows : " 1. The peasants, minor nobility, and citizens, wbo vo luntarily leave the rebel bands, return, and beg for mercy, shall be detained in their former places of residence, after the communes have pledged themselves for their safe cus • tody, after the district chief has personally convinced him self that they repent, and after they have taken the oath of fidelity to his Majesty. This oath shall be administered in the presence of the chief of the district by a reliable eccle siastic, who has shown himself worthy of especial confidence. "2. Special care is to be taken that the individuals im ploring mercy deliver up their arms, or state the place in which they are concealed. " 3. Exact details are to be furnished by such persons of the composition of the bands to which they have belonged, by whom they are led, and what operations they intend. "4. Those who seem evil-disposed upon examination shall be arrested, and delivered over to the inquisitorial committee, who shall then proceed with them as with rebels. "5, Landowners, clergy, officials, and in especial all be longing to the nobility, who sue for pardon, after having given in their confessions, shall be detained in custody in the towns until I have decided as to their acquittal. " 6. The district chief must exercise the greatest caution in the examination of parsons suing for pardon, taking into immediate custody those who return home without submit ting themselves to the authorities, or when submitting, manifest no contrition. These persons shall not be per mitted to remain at their homes. "7. Report must be instantly made of all persons who return home, or to their estates, communicating their reve lations, that I may give orders concerning them. " 8. While I assume that the bands roaming about the forests are nothing but collections of robbers, whose stub bornness and opposition deserve no mercy, I order, as I have already ordered, that all persons belonging to these roving bands who may be taken prisoners, whenever they have been guilty of any cruelties or acts of violence against any person whatever, shall be placed before a court-martial within 24 hours, and, after the confirmation of the judg ment of the military chief, shall be punished with death, of which lam to be informed within a similar time. Inde pendently of this, in case any nobles of the vicinity, re gardless of the injunctions already given, shall be con victed of participation in crimes committed by rebels upon peasants of faithful subjects, or of assisting such persons therein, information thereof is instantly to be given to me, that I may take the severest measures to deter the whole of the surrounding nobility, by terrible ex ample, from similar transgressions. In such cases, while detaining the actual culprits in custody, a fine of 10 to 25 roubles will be levied with all the severity of military law upon every noble household, such fine being devoted to the benefit of the families who have suffered by the insur gent bands. " 9. While I am aware that the majority of the cruel deeds and crimes are executed by the insurgent bands, con sisting of citizens, nobles, and clergy—who are not seldom assisted by the possessors of the adjoining country houses and their stewards : I hereby order that strict investigation be made from which of the houses nearest to the scene of the outrage aid has been given to the band by which it has been committed. All goods and crops are to be taken from such houses; the former shall be sold, and the produce de voted to the benefit of the injured persons, the grain being used for the support of the army. The proprietors of the country houses and their stewards shall be arrested, and be placed before a court-martial. " 10. The governors of the districts shall also apply sequestration to the goods of all proprietors who have sup ported the insurrection. The proprietors and their families and stewards shall be at once removed from these estates. The inventory of the estates where the outrage has been committed shall be presented to the family of the injured person, or to other peasants. While I reserve to myself the right of issuing further orders, I desire speedy information, that I may make examples of any clergyman, citizen, noble man, or steward who does anything whatever calculated to foster and support the insurrection."

Carter, one of the coroners for Surrey, resumed at the Henry the Eighth's Head Ta vern, High-street, Lambeth, the inquiry relative to the death of Ann Griffin, aged 30 years, who was alleged to have been murdered by a man named George Bagent, with whom she lived at N 0.2, Windmill-court, Black-boy -alley, Lambeth. On Wednesday last the deceased woman was found lying on the floor of her room, dying, apparently from dreadful injuries. Her face and other parts of her body were shock ingly bruised and disfigured. There was a cup on the table containing some white sediment. It was stated that, on the previous Monday, the man Bagent had several times knocked her down, and kicked her in the stomach with savage vio lence, and he had been heard lo say that he would " do for her." He was consequently arrested by the police on suspi cion of having murdered her. Mr. Ramley, surgeon, now deposed that he had made a post mortem examination of deceased. The vessels of the brain were very vascular, and there was extravasation of blood on the left side. A table-spoonful of blood formed a coagulum at the base of the brain. On the same side of the face, externally, there was a severe bruise. The viscera were healthy, excepting the liver, which was enlarged,hut not from drink. He found a recent transverse fracture of the fifth-rib on the right side. The rib was so completely divided as to penetrate the pleura. The stomach was in flamed, but there was no sign of poison. The rib was frac tured by a blow. A kick would have caused the injury, which was occasioned by great violence. The immediate cause of death was the shock to the system from that injury. The extravasation of blood on the brain might have been from a blow, or from the fall on receiving the black eye. The Coroner—The deceased was sick. Which do you suppose that arose from, the injury to the brain or from poison ? Witness said that the sickness might have arisen from irritation of the stomach from spirits. There were bruises on the thighs and legs from blows or kicks. o'clock last public-house, üb o l n ic d - a h y ous nighte, near h e Mr. Jessom, 45, High-street, Lambeth, said that about 12 a ite the Windmill thweacsoustrantwdhinegre oppo site deceased s lived. He saw the deceased running out of the public-house, and she was followed by a man. She ran against Mrs. Cook's shutters, and he caught her there. He then hit her in the face, and knocked her down with great violence. When she lay on the ground he kicked her in the stomach two or three times. When she got up she sat on the door step of the public-house. He then ran at her and bit her again several times, and said, " I will kill you." She said, " A pretty face I shall have to go to work to-morrow morning." He replied, " I don't want you to work—l want my tickets." It seemed to witness that he was accusing her of pledging his clothes and drinking the proceeds along with another woman. Police-constable 14 L said that from information he re ceived he went to the house in Windmill-court, and he found the woman Griffin lying dead. She was shockingly dis figured from blows. Witness took the man Bagent into custody on the charge of causing her death. Bagent said that deceased got the black eye by falling down stairs on Monday. He said nothing more. Other evidence showed that at 3 o'clock on Monday de ceased had no black eye or swollen face, but she had on the Tuesday morning. When Bagent came in on the Wednes day he was much affected, and placed his arms around a man who was present. He said he did not know what to do, and was near fainting outright. Another witness said that deceased did not fall down stairs on the Monday, as Bagent stated to the police. The Coroner then summed up, and said that the scope of the evidence had done away with the suspicion that deceased had taken poison. If the jury were of opinion that the de ceased died from the violence of Bagent it would be their duty to return a verdict against him. If the threats he uttered against her were held by the jury to be a proof of a design on his part to kill, the case of course was one of mur der. But if the fact that he did not strike her with any weapon, and that there appeared to have been a quarrel about some tickets, appeared to show that he had no deadly intention, the case would be one of manslaughter. The court was then cleared, and after half-an-hour's de liberation the jury returned a verdict of manslaughter against George James Bagent for killing and slaying Anne Griffin. _ _ _ The Coroner then issued his warrant for the detention of Bagent in Newgate until his trial at the ensuing sessions of the Central Criminal Court. The proceedings then terminated. ANOTHER MURDER IN BIRMINGHAM. A murder was committed yesterday morning, in a court called Trafalgar-place, in Bissell-street, Birmingham, within a stone's throw of the spot where Alice Hinckley was murdered by her lover, in December last. Amongst the occupants of the court were a man named George Hig nett, a workman in a tobacco manufactory, and Thomas Jefferson, a man 32 years of age, who was employed as a brassfounder. Both men were considered respectable, and been on friendly terms until a few weeks back, when they quarrelled in their cups, and Hignett, as a means of re venging himself to some extent, and humbling Jefferson in the sight of his neighbours, told them that he had been pay., ing for Jefferson's beer for some time. This annoyed him, and a quarrel ensued, which quarrel Hignett, who knew his immense physical power, offered to settle by an appeal to blows, which Jefferson declined. Matters went on thus until Saturday evening, when, at about half-past 12 o'clock, Hignett and his wife, who had only returned to him a week after a long absence, commenced another quarrel, blows being freely struck. The people in the court, aroused by the disturbance, rose from their beds and came down to the yard, where, attracted by the noise, a large number of per sons had assembled, Jefferson being amongst the number. Several remonstrated with Hignett upon the cruelty of his conduct, and Jefferson, with the old quarrel no doubt still rankling in his mind, told him not to hit his wife and chil dren, but to come into the yard like a man and fight him (Jefferson). To this Hignett seems to have vouchsafed no reply beyond a warning that if Jefferson came into his yard he would " make it warm for him," or words to that effect. Jefferson disregarded this threat, and, wishing to defend Mrs. Hignett and wipe off the fancied insult to himself, at the same time insisted, in spite of remonstrances, on going within the paling. He had no sooner done this than Hignett, who had retired to his house, came out, and was seen by several persons to strike savagely at him with some weapon, which he had brought from the house, The first blow was across the shoulders, and the second, which caught him on the back of the head, caused him to fall heavily to the ground. When Hignett saw the extent of the injury which ho had committed, he retired into this house, and locked the door. Several people went into the yard and raised the wounded man, who was bleeding fearfully, from the ground, whilst others went in search of the police. The man was taken to the hospital, but in spite of all exertions he sank and died from his injuries shortly after mid-clay. Hignett was apprehended, and bail for his appearance was tendered at Bradford -street, but was re fased,—Birtningham Post. How Prisoners are Fed in Newgate.

It was about three inches long, and apparently an inch and a half wide. The Coroner—Who was it supplied the meat in this m anner to the prisoners ? Mr. Jonas (the governor)—The cook generally had the cutting up of the meat for the prisoners who were consi dered not to be in a fit state to be entrusted with knives and forks. A Juror —I think it highly culpable to send up meat to a prisoner, knowing that ho is deprived of both knife and fork, and the meat is sent up in pieces three or four inches 1011 g. How is a person, I should like to kno w, able to eat it? Is he to tear it to pieces by his lingers and hand ? Witness (continued) —Ho had received an order from Mr. Humphreys that he was not to be allowed a knife and fork. He had his meat served up in the same way, but pro bably cut at times in smaller pieces. The Coroner—Now, supposing he felt himself choking, how was he to let any one know ? Witness—There was a bell which he could have rung and which would have communicated to the authorities of the gaol that he required assistance. The Jurors having consulted, returned averdict of " Ac cidental death from suffocation ;" but at the same time wished to express an opinion deprecating the serving out of meat in such pieces to those who were deprived of knives and forks. The second expedition from Galicia into Volhynia. has been as unsuccessful as the first. That is to say, it has been a total and most disastrous failure. We have now seen four detachments endeavour to cut their way from Galicia into the most important of the three southern provinces of ancient Poland — those of Horodycki, Wysocki, and Minniewski, under thegeneralcommand of Wysocki ; and within the last few days that of Leszek Wiszniewski (who must not be confounded with Kasimir Wiszniewski, slain at the head of his regiment of mounted gen darmerie on the 18th of last month).

Szirma, one of the officers on duty, had the sheath of his sabre shot away, but, as far as I can learn, no one on the Austrian side was wounded, Oat of 200 insur gents who in this last mad foray entered Volhynia (which is held by a well discip lined army of nearly 20,000 men) 30 have come back sound and free, 70 have been taken prisoners by the Austrians, and the remainder are either killed, wounded, or captive in the hands of the Rus sians. In other wor3s, the Poles have lost 170 out of 200 men. They have also lost their chief. Leszek Wiszniewski is thought to have been killed ; but, alive or dead, his body remains with the enemy. I find now that the losses in Wysocki's expedi tion to Volhynia must have amounted to at least half of the entire force—and they would have been greater still bad there been more fighting. Min niewski never got across the frontier, but half of his men were made prisoners by the Austrians. Nearly half of Wysocki's detachment (at all events a sufficient number to render two companies of in• fantry out of four next to useless) disappeared under fire. Finally, out of 250 men who composed the whole of the infantry, under Major Synkiewicz, when Horodycki led his detachment into Radziwil low, 214 are now missing. The battalion when it was counted in the wood of Nakwasha numbered nearly 340, but about 40 took to flight when the outposts were fired upon, before the passage of the frontier, and some 30 were afterwards sent back from the Russian side as unfitted for the dangerous and desperate work in view. The chosen band of 250 (without counting the cavalry, who, when they are well dressed, are more ornamental than useful) consisted of 150 riflemen and 100 sithemen, and, whether they had to attack 800, 900, or 1,000 Rus sians, certainly did their duty most heroically. If the Russians had not been confused by the intrepi dity of the Polish attack—on leaving as well as en tering the town—they could not have allowed one man to escape. As it was, 214, out of an entire force of 280, were killed, wounded, or captured, while out of eight infantry officers—all men of ex perience and of tried valour and ability—six, in cluding the colonel, fell. The major and one of the captains (not poor Tchozewski, as was at first re ported) have alone returned alive, the latter with out a wound, the former wounded only by the leeches which stuck to his legs when he was in the water without the boots. Detachments are making ready for fresh incur sions into the Ruthenian provinces. I cannot be lieve that the Poles arc not, by this time, thoroughiy - Q pvinced that in Volhynia they are, at least fur the present, quite powerless. These repeated in vasions, of such an utterly hopeless character, can only be looked upon as diversions made by men who are quite ready to sacrifice themselves in one part of Poland that their countrymen may have a better chance in another. Although Volhynia, Podolia, and the Ukraine remain perfectly quiet, the Russians, not knowing at what moment these provinces may be invaded from Galicia, hold them with a force of nearly 50,000 troops; and, were it not for the suicidal expeditions made from time to time by men like Horodycki and Wiszniewski, at least 30,000 of these troops might well be spared for service elsewhere. _ _ The war in Poland is carried on in such a despe rate fashion that no account can be taken on either side of the position of non-combatants. Otherwise, I do not think it would be unpatriotic on the part of the National Government to reflect that every incursion into Volhynia, and every attempt at in surrection in the province itself, subjects the Polish inhabitants to the most cruel outrages on the part of the Ruthenian peasantry. I asked a Polish surgeon the other day, who brought back a con siderable number of wounded from Radziwillow to the frontier, whether he received any assistance from the local population. He said that a few people outside the town ventured to give him what aid they could, but that they all upbraided the insurgents with having entered Volhynis, and tha t one man called out " Unhappy wretches , why di d you come here to be slaughtered, and get us massacred also ?" Several political prisoners were liberated here a few days ago, among others Count Severin Borkowski and Prince Radziwill. One of the captives, on being set free, requested permission to wait a little longer, and ultimately, being a person of influence, obtained rema in in prison until the evening. This g wa s not troubled with a " d ead h eart, " lbeueantvtsel to iemmpalyn wished to give an entertainment in his ce ll. The banquet came off in the afternoon, and is said to have a ff orded general satisfaction. I sup pose that th is are badly may be l oo k ed upon as a proof that if po litical prisoners treated in Austria their ill-treatment is at least not the result of any deli berate intention. Nevertheless, the position of the great majority of persons now in confinement, on suspicion of having aided the insurrection, is most unfortunate for them and most discreditable to the Austrian Government. It might at least be expected of a Government which imprisons on the largest possible scale that it should learn to keep its prisons in something like decent order, Count Mensdorff returned here a few days ago, freshly decorated with the Grand Riband of the Order of Leopold. Marks of distinction have also been conferred on all the officials through whose special activity the recent arrests aro supposed to have been effected, such as the director of the police, the president of the tribunal, &c. M. Merkl, one of the chief police official of Cracow, has also been de corated, from which it may be inferred that his Government quite rejects the story of M. Merki's having become a Russian spy, and that it regards the disgraceful letter recently attributed to him by several newspapers as one of many similar forgeries.
