effected their escape, and are now in Zarnosc, where 8,000 men, besides the garrison, are collected. The number of Dwernicki's officers was 362, or one officer for every 16 men—an unusual proportion, which, never theless, may have contributed to the superiority of the Polish army. General Rudiger has not yet left Volhynia, the troops which are to replace him not having yet arrived. The in surrection of that province is not suppressed ; on the con trary, every favourable intelligence obtained from Poland or Lithuania imparts to it a new impulse. The Duke de Mortemart, the French Ambassador at St. Petersburglt, is shortly expected in Paris. His Royal Highness the Grand Duke of Baden, with the Princes his brothers, intends to visit his Majesty during his stay at Strasburg. We are assured that the Government is preparing a na tional festivity to commemorate the anniversary of the days of July, in which the glorious events it will recall will be ennobled by a tribute of regret offered to the citizens who fell in our memorable revolution. A telegraphic dispatch received yesterday, the 1 1 th, from Cherbourg, announces the arrival in that port of his Majesty the Emperor of Brazils. THE KING'S ANSWER TO THE MAYOR OF VALMY. " It would have been impossible for me to have entered Valmy without feelings of great emotion, or not to remem ber with pride that I contributed to its celebrity by the part which I took in the glorious battle which derives its name from your town. But what a number of events have occurred since that period, and what an extensive in fluence has been exerted on the fate of France by the de fence of that hill ! What numbers of warriors then in the ranks carrying their muskets, and who have since risen to the highest military honours by the glorious vic tories which have distinguished our arms ! I have two by my side at the present moment (Marshal Gerard and Lieutenant-Gener ilairlet), both of whom served here as volunteers on the 20th September, 1792. Although young at that time, I even then had the honour of acting as a General ; it was that which has enibled me to be of service to my country, and from it I derive one of the most grateful recollections of my life." (From the Quotidienne of Sunday.) It is confidently stated that the Ministry are greatly chagrined at having entered into an engagement to send against Belgium a certain contingent previously agreed upon by the Members of the Conference of London, of which it is well known M. de Talleyrand is one. It appears that the Ministry has ascertained that, in case it should be pressed by the Powers to furnish its contingent, it would be under the necessity of declaring that it is not in its power to send the French troops upon the expedition agreed upon. We have been informed that a courier arrived during the day at the residence of the Russian Ambassador, bring ing intelligence of the arrival of Marshal Diebitsch before Praga on the 3d of June. The despatches contained a statement of negociations having been opened between the city and the Russian bead-quarters. (This is denied in other accounts.) The French, in the reign of Charles X., assisted the Greeks, and saved Galotti from death. Under the Ministry of a citizen King the Poles are left to die, and Menotti allowed to be banged.

EARL GREY, PRIAIE MINISTER, My LORD,.—it is confidently stated that the Associates of the " Royal Society of Literature," who have hitherto received from the Royal Bounty 1001. each per annum, have been informed that this allowance will very shortly cease ! The names of the present associates are— 1 These names shall speak for themselves; they receive 100/. each per ann. • against eachlwiflplacean A rchbishop °rill shop,withthe sum beach is charged in. Ithe King's books, multiplied by ten, although it is well knownthattheap_ nual value oftheir sees is increased in amuch greater J proportion. The sum which the ten Bishops receive is, therefore, ac cording to this statement, 161 times as much as is paid to the ten literary gentlemen. Have they (the Bishops) performed 161 times the good to society which the lite rary gentlemen have? I say No ! I would therefore, were I in your Lordship's situation, continue the payment of 1001. each to these fur their respective lives; and as every Bishop died, I would recommend that before his successor was ap pointed, it should be suggested to his Majesty, as the head of the Church, to take the actual one-tenth of the revenues of each Bishopric ; one-half of which I would appropriate in the seine manner as the first fruits now are, and the other half I would appropriate for salaries to be given to literary and scientific persons. I must here premise, that the sum now calculated is only ten times the value of the ten largest Bishoprics of England ; if, therefore, the Bishoprics of England and Ireland were valued as above stated, a large annual revenue might in time he raised, and appropriated for the support of literary and scientific persons. If we contrast the manner in which the ten literary men have raised themselves to notice, and the causes of the ele vation of the ten dignitaries, in sty opinion it will be found that the labours of the ten of the laity have been much greater than the ten clerical characters, although their re wards have been so much less; adding also that the Bishops have been enabled to provide for very many of their relations both laitical and clerical.

FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. FRENCH PAPERS. rJ "- r The following is an extract from the G«zelle Konigsberg, dated Memel : " The Lithuanian insurgents, who are assembling anew in great numbers in the environs of our frontiers, seem to wish to drive the Russian troops out of Polangen, and possess themselves of this post." We learn the following by private c orrespondence : " A civil and military commission has been instituted at Parma, composed of three Tyrolese and one German, to try the revolutionists of Parma and Piacenza. A lady was condemned to death at Modena, but judgment has been arrested. The lady of General Zucchi has been deprived of all her property by the Duke of Modena, not excepting her dowry." We are assured that the Government it at present occu pied with the means of celebrating the anniversary of the days of July, by a national fete, in which the glorious re collections that it will serve to recall will be more ennobled by a tribute of regret offered to the memory of those citi zens who fell in our memorable revolution. The following is tire verbal note submitted some time ago to the Diet of the Germanic Confederation by M. T. Michiells, Envoy from the Regent of Belgium to Frankfort : " The Beleian revolution, understood in its national sense, that is, in the sense of the great majority of the Bel gians, has nothing in it hostile either to the system of the balance of power in Europe in general, or to the Ger manic system in particular. " 'sins revolution could only be at variance with the balance of Europe, if its direct and necessary object was either to unite Belgium again with France, cr to place her under the patronage and protection of that power. " If, upon the results of tire events of September, Bel gium at first sought the exclusive support of France, it arose from the momentary necessities arising from her situation. " At the present day, when Belgium can reckon six months of an independent existence, she has become more enlightened to her real position. She is desirous of enter ing into a broader political system, more European, and would ill comprehend her own interests if she conceived it possible she could confine herself to a single ally. " The taking possession of Luxemburg, as a Belgian province, is far from being an act of hostility, the Congress having expressly maintained all the relations of that pro vince with the Germanic Confederation. If Belgium had intended to enter upon a system hostile to Germany, she. would have rejected Luxemburg on account of its relations with Germany, that is, with the Germanic Confederation, or at least, on taking possession, would have disavowed tLose relations, and declared them to be null and void. " If Luxemburg remains with Belgium, without the fortress, tl.e garrison of which the Confederation may even for a time augment, France, having no cause for uneasine=s; as to her frontiers, will have no pretext for war ; and the new Chief of Belgium, admitted into the Germanic Union on account of Luxemburg, would thereby raise a barrier between France and Belgium, by thus closely connecting herself with Germany. "Belgium has not forgotten her origin—that for a long time she was mare German than French, end that as a circle of Burgundy she belonged to the empire. " Thus Belgium is so little hostile to Germany, that the author of the present n..te, who is himself a Belgian, and believes himself to be perfectly acquainted with the state of his country, is inclined to believe, at the same time, that it would not be impos,ible, in the course of a few years, and by testifying amicable dispositions towards her, to lead Belgium to extend her relations with the Confederation beyond the limits of the province of Luxemburg. In his opinion it would not be contrary either to the independ ence or to the commercial interests of Belgium, for her to enter, by means of new stipulations, into the Germanic Union. " Belgium cannot become united to France without giving up her independence ; but by joining herself with Germany, she may not only preserve, but strengthen it; and certainly Belgium comprised in the Germanic Confe deration would present greater guarantees than the king dom of the Netherlands placed without the Germanic system." (From the Messager des Chambres of Monday.) Pastas, JUN F. 12.—Malevolence again endeavours to agitate the public opinion, either by announcing troubles which have not taken place, or by spreading reports of war which nothing justifies. It has been said that the King, interrupting his journey, was going to return to Paris ; that the Minister of War had already returned ; lastly, that a division of French troops had received orders to march. Nothing of all this is true. We know for certain that the Minister of War has not thought of coming back, and that the King continues his journey amidst the enthusiasm of the public. Letters from Verdun infirm us that his Majesty had a magnificent review there, and that 24,000 troops have received orders to a sse in ble at Strasburg, co he reviewed by the King. The King of Wurtemberg and the Princes of Baden will, it is said, be present at this military fete. A letter from Carlsruhe, of the 3d of June, says, " His Royal Highness the Grand Duke of Baden, accompanied by the Princes his brothers, is to go to Strasburg to visit the King during his stay in that city." If we will consider attentively, we shall find that it is by no means to the interest of France that Belgium should obtain the fortress and province of Maestricht. In fact, if the Congress at London should adjudge Limburg to Bel gium, it would ha with the condition that the fortress should have a Prussian garrison. The Belgian Govern ment itself made this proposal to the Congress. Resides, the efforts of Russia, Austria, and Prussia, which in this whole affair acts underhand, according to the views of Russia, tend to cause the new state to snake part of the Germanic Confederation. If Limburg should he given to it, ;t will be only on this condition. Now it is eLsy to see that Prussia and the Germanic Confederation, which have already a double entrance to Belgium, and France, on the fortress of Luxemburg, would have a second entrance by the possession of the Meuse, which are the only barriers of Lie'giurn in the north. In case of war, a Prusso-Ger man army, entering at once by those two points, would in two days' time invade the whole kingdom of Belgium, which ought to cover us by the interposition of its natural territory. On the contrary, if Slaestricht and Limburg are to re main to Holland, the inconvenience, in case of a conti nental war, is much diminished, for the following reasons. It becomes more and more probable, that if a war should break out, England would either be neuter, or united with us. As Holland, a country depending on its maritime com merce, could not expose itself to a contest with the su perior naval power of England and France, it would be compelled to neutrality. It would, therefore, take care not to violate the Belgic territory, protected by England and France. This territory, and consequently the northern frontier of France, would be much more secure by Maestricht and the line of the Meuse being occupied by Holland, than if they were in the hands of Russia. These considerations must not be taxed with political egotism, for on our re-assuming we have never ceased to place the interest of Belgium in the line with that of France. VERDUN, JUNE 9.—The King left St. Menehold at noon. When he arrived at the defile of Islettes, his ma jesty examined with interest this military position, which ,vas so valiantly defended in 1792, against the foreigners. The King arrived at three o'clock at V,,rdun, where he was received by the Municipal corps. Thirteen thousand men, troops of the line, were drawn up in the Champ de Afars. A tent had been prepared for his Majesty, and he having proceeded to it, detachments from each regiment, under the command of their Colonel., formed in a semi circle near the King. He addressed them in an animated speech, and presented colours to the Colonel of each reg;a ment. In passing along the front of the regiments, the King distributed some crosses of the Legion of Honour to the oldest officers, sub-officers, and soldiers. After the termination of the review the King re-entered Verdun, and vas saluted by a discharge of 101 cannon. He the iwnsepereeitedn the detail every part of the fortifications, which excellent order. It was in one of the bastions of 'e tmheost' of Fortifications, that the King announced to Colanel Lapisse, Direc i t , o c i r d it_ o a mar o .h rtifications, that he granted to him the rank of r just recompense for the use• ful labours of this engineer, l j a a nd for his admirable conduct during the revolutio n d,y to review 15,000 Nationally.o His Majesty was next exceed the affectionate enthusiastrard'" Nothing could with which the King wa s gr eeted by the people wherever he presented hi mse lf to them.

The following are extracts from Brussels and Frankfort Papers received this morning : BRUSSELS. NATIONAL CONGRESS. -SITTING OF JUNE 10. The sitting was to be opened at one o'clock; after waiting till a quarter past two, M. Liebelts called over the names of the Members,—only 95 answered ; not being a sufficient number to transact business, they agreed that there should be no public sitting till Mond ty noon. As the Members were going to separate, several Deputies ex pressed a desire to see the Minister of War. M. Lebeau went into an adjoining apartment, and returned, accom panied by M. Dufailly, the Minister of War. A circle was formed round the Ministers. M. C. Hodenbach, who had not left his place, said that if they went into the Hall of the Central Section they might converse and explain. This was agreed to ; and the Minister of War is said to have given in this kind of Committee some information respecting the measures he had adopted. BaussELs, JUNE 11.—Some Journals of this city have announced that Lord Ponsonby dispatched a courier in the night of the 9th, to carry to London an answer from M. Lebeau, on a point said to be very important ; what is cer tain is, that since the 7th no cabinet messenger has left thi.: city for London, unless, indeed, he went by the dili gences, of which there has not hitherto been any instance. I It was only this morning at three o'clock, that an English cabinet messenger was sent with dispatches to London. Mr. Abercromhy set out for London this morning at e leven o'clock. The Duke of Brunswick left Brussels at noon yesterday, he took the road to Calais. We have successively announced the departure of Lord Ponsonby for Sunday next, for yesterday (Friday), and now ' announce it for to-day. It is not our fault, it we have thus to contradict every day what we said the day before respecting his Lordship's departure. General Bell:ard will depart at the satna time as Lord Ponsonby.—courier. It is affirmed that Lord Ponsonby, who was to set out for London this evening at nine o'clock, will not leave Brusack.—lndependent. The trial of Colonel Gregoire been continued for these two drys. At half-past ten this morning the Court retired to deli berate. At the time ofour going to press the decision of the Court was not yet announced. CARLSRUHE, JUNE 3.—ln the twenty-third sitting of the Second Chamber M. Rettig, of Constance, brought up a report from the Committee of Petitions upon the petition of the Jews, for equal civil tights with their Christian fellow countryman. The Chamber decided on the main question that the admission of the Israelites to the enjoy !neat of equal political rights with the Christian inhabi j tants of the Grand Duchy could not yet take place, but that a proposal should be made to the Government to con yoke between the present and the next Diet, an assembly of deputies of the Israelites, and through this assembly to make an attempt to see whether the obstacles that now Oppose such an equality o ni f o l nh glt . s ot c s a , n :i b mi e enr r a e i moved. new project Juuz 2...—1tt the Second Chamber to-day, M. de Sbormer, Minister of the Interior, presented the projectpro ject oftb the late censorshiprelative N t v a i 1.1 the b e entirely Pfess. abolished According internal affairs: it will be retained only for matters of fo reign policy, and the editors o t f o r 4 riodieal papers will have to p give it security As Ar t ß o u the ls a .

The President, on his return to Napoli, submitted to the Senate the question : Whether Greece is in a situation to make use of the free dom of the Press ?" The Senate decided this question in the negative. We have lying before us a circular, calling upon the inhabitants of the parish of St. Clement Danes to assist in alleviating the distresses of the Irish poor. This call will, we doubt not, be promptly and generously responded to, for if' ever there was a case which demanded the in terference of the charitable, the distress of the Irish poor is that case. The peasantry of the western coast of the Sister Isle are literally starv ing by hundreds—by thousands. Those whom famine spares, pestilence attacks ; and those from whom both these visitations keep aloof, the tax gatherer marks for his own. Of these three evils, we scarce know which is the worst ; probably the last, as it is the most lingering, and tena cious of its prey. It gives us, however, sincere pleasure to learn that the metropolis is at length fully awake to the necessity of affording some relief to the famishing Irish peasantry. The stream of English benevolence runs in a mighty channel, and that channel is just now directed towards the Sister Country. But it is from the Irish Protestant Clergy, from the well-fed Bishops, the inordinately rich pluralists, the absentees, and more especially the host of paupers, titled and untitled, who figure on the Irish Pension List—it is from these that Ireland has a right to look for her chief means of relief. These annually drain her of no slight portion of her resources, and these, therefore, should now disgorge some part of their gains. The Bishop of DERRY we find, has already subscribed 25/. ; but, gra cious GOD, what a starveling pittance is this from a dignitary of the Church of CHRIST, whose annual income is reckoned not by hun dreds but by thousands, and whose diocese is literally overrun with his own friends and rela tions ! KNOXES in Derry are as plentiful as rats in Norway. Wherever there is a rich living in the diocese, there is a KNOX in posses sion of it. In illustration of this statement we quote the following from the returns lately made to the House of Commons on the subject of the Irish Protestant establishment : " Knox in the pos'ession of the Bishopric of Derry; then come J. Spencer Knox, June, 1813, rectory of Fahan, 360/. a year; August same year, Hon. Charles Knox, rec tory of Urney, 7001. a year; June, 1814, W. Knox, rectory of Upper Brandony, 3961. 18s. 6,1. a year; same date, Hon. Edtn. Knox, rectory of Tamlught O'Crilly, no amount specified, but 561 acres of church land in the city and county of Londonderry; James S. Knox (again) two more rectorieg, Magheras and Kilnonaghan, 1,365/.75.7id. per annum, and 926 acres of church land ; April, same year, Win. Knox, rectory of Fahan, 360/. a year ; October, same year, William (the same perhaps) Knox, rectory of Tamlaghtard, 425/. per annum; August, 1821, W. Knox (again !) rectory of Clonleigh, 8401 a year, and 427 acres of church land; October, 1822, W. Knox (the sth time), rectory of Ballinascreen, 623/. Is. 614., and 543 acres ; and finally, in June, 1930, the last presentation returned, Rimund J. Knox, rector of Killown, 1601. a year. Al together the Knoxes have got since 1812 (mention is not made in these returns of what they had before), 5,2301. is. Sd. per annum, and 3,555 acres of land, be sides the annual income of one of which no return is made. There are two Knoxes in Dromore with 1,082 acres." And yet the head of this wealthy firm, the Bishop of Derry, can only afford 25/. (the widow's mite) for the relief of the thousands upon thousands of the starving Irish ! What succour the Reverend Prelate may be affording in secret, we know not ; but on the public record, he appears merely as the subscriber of the above pittance, which bears about the same proportion to his princely re venue, as a farthing to a hundred pounds ! Of the other Bishops ( with the exception of his Grace the Archbishop of TUA NE, whose unwearied munificence reflects the highest credit on his character as a man and a Christian) pensioners, absentees', &c., we hear and see little or nothing. Why do they not come forward, one and all, with their subscrip tions ? They are animated enough when their own sinecures, tithes, and pluralities are threatened : are they to be passive only in the sacred cause ot charity, when the lives of thousands depend on their exertions ? We shall folios./ up this subject from time to time, as circumstances may warrant, on the principle that those who cannot be rea soned into a charitable action, ought to be shamed into it. Meanwhile we call on all classes of Englishmen to do their utmost in support of their starving brethren of Ireland. We call on them to dwell for an instant on the scenes of wretchedness now of daily—hourly occur. recce in that country; to picture to themselves the babe vainly striving to draw from its mother's breast that nourishment, which hunger and dis ease have dried up ; the child clamouring for food, and the parents having none to give ; and all parties, mother, father, and children lying down side by side on the damp floor of a wretched mud cabin, with no prospect of relief but in death, no hope of slumber but in the grave. We call on our generous countrymen to picture to themselves these harrowing scenes of distress, and they will need no other monitor. A work has just been put into our hands en titled, " The History of Poland, from the Ear liest Period to the Present Time, with a Narrative of the Recent Events, obtained from a Polish Patriot Nobleman." A gentleman named Fletcher, of Trinity College, Cambridge, is the author of this publication, which, so far as we are able to state, from a very hasty perusal, gives much useful information re specting the state and prospects of a country which just now engrosses public attention throughout Europe. The author, we perceive is far indeed from despairing of the ultimate regeneration of Poland. We coincide with his opinions on this subject, though we would ear nestly desire to see the period of Polish inde pendence accelerated, without further effusion of blood, by the prompt and spirited interference of England and France. It is degrading to every feeling of humanity to think that these great countries, which have so much in their power, and which have themselves from time to time made so many sacrifices in the cause of freedom, should tamely look on, white th? blood of thousands of Polish patriots is being poured on the earth like water. But both the French and English Cabinets must ere long interfere ; it cannot be otherwise ; a Re formed Parliament will not allow a heroic nation like Poland to be brought again under the des potism of Russia ; and we feel quite convinced that if Louts PHILIPPE desire to retain his throne, it can only be by interfering in the same sacred cause. Poland once raised to the dignity of an independent state, would form an effectual barrier against all further aggressions of Russia on Europe. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DA Y.) FROM LLOYD'S.

FUNERAL OF MRS. SIDDONS.—This morn ing, at the early hour of nine o'clock, there were an im mense assemblage of persons in Upper Baker-street, Re gent-park, to witness the funeral of this celebrated actress. About ten o'clock, the hearse and mourning coaches began to assemble at Mr. Harems's (the Globe), corner of the New Road, for the purpose of dressing, and arranging the feathers on the horses. At half-past ten o'clock the signal was gir en for the mournful procession to move. The covering of the coffin was of a rich purple velvet, and was placed in a hearse drawn by four horses, followed by two mourning coaches and four, containing the relatives of the deceased ; after these came fourteen mourning coaches, each coach containing four gentlemen mourners belonging to the theatres; two gentlemen's carriages brought up the procession. The cay.ilcade proceeded along the Park Road, Regent's-park, up the Alpha Road, through Prince's street, to Paddington Church, where the body was depo sited at a quarter before twelve o'clock. The immense number of persons assembled at the church could not be less than five thousand. The prosecution against COBBETT, for the alleged libel in his Register of the llth of December, has not, it appears, been abandoned, as notice was served upon him on Saturday, to be ready for trial on the 4th of July, in Guildhall. TOWNSIIIP OF NEWTON.—A deputation waited on BENJAMIN HEYWOOD, Eq., M.P., on Monday last, with the petition of the inhabitants of Newton, to ob. taro the inclusion of that populous township in the borough of Manchester, under the Reform Bill. Mr. HEYWOOD promised to support the prayer of the petition..-21/..- ehester Guardian. The accounts from Riga and from Dantzic of the ravages of the cholera are truly alarming. The cap tain of an English vessel who went ashore at the former place to effect a clearance, was attacked with the disorder and died within four hours. Many persons, including members of the medical profession, entertain great appre hensions, we believe, respecting its probable introduction into this country, in spite of the strictest precautions which have been adopted. At Hamburg all bills drawn from Dantzic and from Riga have been refused acceptance, un der the itnpr,ssiou probably that the cholera would prevent the goods for which they were drawn from being sent on. The cholera morbus is exciting some alarm at Paris; and an epidemical malady, which is raging in the hospital of Bicetre, has been canverted by busy ru mour into that terrible diserse. Pitus, the physician of the Bickre, states, however, that the epidemic is not of the nature of cholera, but a catarrhal affection, having its seat in the nasal fossa. and in the chest, and arising solely from the variable state of the atmosphere. During the last eight days more than 150 old men have been at tacked by it; but Pxus " hopes" that the disease will not be attended by any very considet able mortality.— Morning Paper. _ _ _ - - Letters from Odessa to the middle of May speak favourably of the sanatory state of that part of Russia. At Taganrock hardly any traces of cholera re mained. An unusual degree of inactivity in trade had for some time prevailed in Odessa, chiefly owing to a great scarcity of ships. Several arrivals were, however, every day expected, as it was known that a great number of vessels had passed the Dardanelles, bound for the Black Sea in search of freights. The first arrivals were likely to obtain good terms. From the Ist of January to the 30th of April. of the present year, 21 vessels were loaded at Odessa for English ports, chiefly fur London and Liver pool. Their cargoes consisted almost entirely in wheat and tallow. The shipments of the former during that period have amounted to 26,121 chetwert , , and of the latter to 3,070 casks. Exchange on London at 22. 20. For some time the rate of exchange On this, as well as other parts of Europe, had been against drawers, and great scarcity of money had been the consequence of a general unwillingness to draw. Little business was doing in British goods. A large fall in the French Funds, and conse quently in Foreign Securities, has thrown the rentiers into a state of dismay and harror. They find that the Three per Cents., which were at 67f. 30c. on Monday, at 59f. 30c. on Friday ; and they are running about every where in a state of distraction. If CASIMIR PF.RIER cannot keep up the Funds, he will be quite unpopular in a few days, fur these nervous beings think nothing is right without high prices. But what really matters it, whether the Three per Cents. are at 59f. or 60f. ? Are the peace, glory, honour, and happiness of France in jeopardy, because Stock Exchange jobbers are afraid of war? No, no. These men never see further than their noses ! They thought when Prince LEOPOLD was elected, that all was settled. Poor fellows, they bought stock and laughed, and said they were warm!! and now they find there is some difficulty and refusal, and trouble, and they say, " who would have thought of this ?" Why every man but a nervous rentier, who is an optimist from fear and a coward at heart. Never mind ! prices will right themselves. We shall have stocks quite high enough by and bye ; but first of all we must find the right road to an honourable and permanent peace, a nd not to peace at all hazards. 0. P. Q.—Morning Chronicle.

Montreal Papers to the 19th May, and Quebec to the 17th May, have been received at the North and South American Coffee-house. The following is an extract from the former, the latter being barren of news : " The intelligence of the defeat of the measure intro duced by the Ministers, to impose an additional duty on tim ber imported into Great Britain from the North American colonies, was received at St. John's, New Brunswick, and other ports of the colonies, with the greatest satisfaction; a bonfire was kindled in King's-square, and loud demon strations from all classes of citizens evinced the joy felt on the occasion. His Excellency the Governor-in-Chief and lady may be expected here on Thursday afternoon." We have no arrivals this morning of consequence. The Dutch steamer has not yet arrived, and it is not expected it will bring later accounts from the theatre of war than those previously received by the Hamburg steamer. The private letters from Warsaw, although not of a later date than those previously received, are still of interest. They state that great activity prevails on all points ; that the enemy is in full movement, and the Poles are on the qui vice, and that some further particulars have been re ceived of the murderous battle at Ostrolenka. Diebitsch's army (after being joined by the Imperial Guards) con sisted of sixty-six thousand men, and that of the Poles only thirty-six thousand, divided in three columns. The four following Polish Generals have penetrated into Lithuania :—Gielgud, Chrapowski, Dembenski, and Sier kowski. The whole of the town of Ostrclenka was on fire, and amongst the inhabitants who perished were a great number of Jews, owing to the Russians having em ployed them to repair the bridge over the Narew, and to bring them during the battle ammunition and balk which they were obliged to perform under a tremendous charge of grape-shot from the Poles.

TFNTFRDEN sat this morning at the Guildhall in he city with a Common Jury, one case occupied the Court lip to the time of our going to press, and in it there wag nothing of the slightest interest to the public. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. DURRELL. V. LARKIN. This was an action brought by the plaintiff, Timothy Durrell, against the defendant, George Larkin, a corn. mon carrier from London to Merryworth, to recover da mages for the loss of a pipe of wine, which was alleged to have been occasioned by the negligence of the defendant. The plaintiff is an innkeeper at Merryworth, and the defendant is the carrier from the Spur Inn, in the Bo rough, to that place. In the month of October last a pipe of wine was forwarded by Messrs. Annan and Co., wine -merchants, in Northutnberland.street, Strand, to the plaintiff, and the defendant was entrusted with its de livery. On its arrival at its destination, the servants of Larkin proceeded to lower the pipe from the waggon by means of a slide or pulley belonging to the plaintiff, at the foot of which they placed a pack, which was proved to be a hard substance. In lowering the pipe down the pulley, assisted by the servants of the defendant, the ma chine -• broke, and the consequence was that the men lost all farther power over the pipe, and it ran down the pulley by itself, and came with such violence against the pack at the bottom of the slide, that its head was stove in, and the whole of the wine, 116 gallons, with the exception of three, escaped and ran into the kennel, but some of it was subsequently picked up by basons and other vessels, and placed in barrels, but there being of necessity a large quantity of dirt amongst it, the whole was completely destroyed and rendered valueless, consequently this action was brought to recover the amount of its value, which was stated to be about 781. On the part of the plaintiff it was stated, that upon the arrival of the waggon his servants proposed to the defendant's men to place some straw or faggots at the bottom to receive the pipe, but that they rejected, and said they had a pack in the waggon which would equally answer the purpose, and which they placed there instead of the straw, which had caused the accident. Mr. Serjeant WILDE, on the part of the defendant, ad dresse,l the Jury, and contended that his client was not liable for the loss of the wine, inasmuch as the slide or pulley belonged to the plaintiff, and was kept fur the pur pose of lowering beer or wine on his premises. That at the time it was brought into use, it was in an incompetent state, and unfit for the purpose, and being so, it broke and the result was that the pipe was bulged and the wine boat. The learned Counsel concluded by calling upon the Jury to find a verdict for the defendant, as the plaintiff had brought the loss upon himself in having furnished the rotten pulley. The Loam CHIEF JUSTICE, in summing up the ease, told the Jury that according to the common law of the land, a common carrier was bound to deliver property in the same condition he received it, with the exception of loss sustained by the King's enemies. In this case the question was not whether the defendant had b,ten guilty of any negligence, because if any damage were sustained to any property entrusted to his care by accident, he would he equally liable to the consequences. The Jury would have to consider whether the de'endant was exempt from the ge neral rule of law, by any prior arrangement made between the parties, and whether the circumstance of the plaintiff having furnished the slide to the defendant, he had taken the responsibility upon himself; if they were of that opi nion, they would not be wrong in finding for the defendant. The Jury retired for a short time, and thin came into Court, finding a verdict for the defendant. KIDNEY V. SIR COCKBLTRN, BART. Mr. CAMPBELL said that this was an issue directed by the Vice-Chancellor to decide whether John Kidney and David Kidney were brothers of whole blood. The Learned Counsel said that in the year 1826 a Mrs. Chris tian Kidney died intestate, and at the time of her death waa 2d in f-e of certain warehouses and other pro pettywa!t Lrue , ower t e i r „ T t a tn n e l e t s h - e s y t reet in the were , mortgaged, city of that London.shel was, as t , beyond all doubt, the substantial owner of the prolortv in question. Mrs. Kidney dying intestate, the whole of her estates would go to her heir-at-law, Thomas Kidney, who was his client and the plaintiff in the present matter, and that he is the heir at Irw he would distinctly show by the pedigre. -, ti... be .sae, theietore, clearly entitled to the possession of, and all interest in, the pre_ mises in question. In the year 1829, he (Thos. Kidney', entered into an agreement with time defendant (who, doubtless, was a highly respectable and honourable man, but who did not like to make bad bargains, although he entered into agreement for the same,) for the sale of the premises in question for 7,000/. It was at the same time expected that the same would be wanted for the approaches to the New London Bridge, and the defendant therefore anticipated to turn the bargain to good account, but he subsequently finding that the approaches did not . come through the premises became dissatisfied, and refused to perform time contract he had entered into.—. A bill was filed in Chancery for a specific performance of the agreement, and the bill being so filed, it was preferred to the master to find out whether he (the plaintiff) had any title to the i%lr. Setjeant WILDE here interposed, and objected to the proceedings of the Learned Counsel. Mr. CAMEBELL said he was proceeding according to the rules of the Court, and was merely explaining to the Jury the question they were about to decide, an I if he were not allowed to proceed he should retire. The Loan CHIEF JUSTICE—It is thought that you are throwing too much evil upon the defendant, but I will not interrupt you, but trust to your discretion. Mr. CAMPBELL then proceeded; upon reference to the master, he had reported that there was a good title, and that his client was the heir-at-law. An objection was af terwards made, as it was stated that their grandfathers were not brothers of full blood, but that they were brothers of half blood ; this was the question submitted by the Vice-Chancellor to the July, and that Jury were the gen tlemen then in the box, who were now to decide it. The Learned Gentleman was going into the pedigree when our reporter left the Court. Accounts have been received from Ireland of the death of the O'CoNoR DON. The action for assault and false imprisonment, " Thomas v. the Marquis of Londonderry," arising out of the fracas at liolderness-house respecting the QUEEN'S douceur, is appointed for trial, and is expected to come on for hearing in a few days at Westminster-hall. WARSAW, JUNE I.—General KRUKO.• has been dismissed from his post as Governor of Warsaw, in consequence of a disrespectful letter addressed by him to the Commander-in-Chief. An Aide-de-Catup of General GIELCUD arrived here on the 29th. He states that he met with no Russian troop; on the right side of the Narew. One conse q uence of the late expedition o the Commander-in-Chief has been the complete destruc tion of the immense magazines established by the Russians in Lomza, Ostrolenka, Nur, Ciechanowiez, Bransk, and Bielk. According to the latest advices, Marshal DIE.. RITSCII, after burning the bridge at Ostrolenka, divided his army into two corps, one of which was detached into Lithuania, while the other cross,d the Bug, and entered Podlachia. Some camp followers from General GIELCUD'S corps, which they left on the 28th, maintain that there appeared to he no impediment to the General's advance into Lithuania. A corps of about 1,000 Russian cavalry is scouring the country on the other side of Pultusk.— Warsaw State Gazette. " A LONG COACIINIAN."—."
