The object of the proposed undertaking is to Unite the city of Exeter with the towns of Yeovil and Bridport, as forming a part of the great integral scheme for making the beet direct railway comunica tion from the metropolis, through Exeter to the important seaports and harbours in the British Channel, as well as completing the chain of south coast communication from the porta of Dover, Portsmouth, and Southampton, to Exeter, Plymouth, and Falmouth. Between Yeovil and Weetbury, the Wilts, Somerset, and Wey mouth Railway will form the main line of communication, at which latter place it will join a proposed extension of the Berko and Hants Railway from Uungerford, carried through the Powsey Valley, as shown more distinctly in the accompanying plan. • The Berks and Hants, and the Wilts, Somerset, and Weyrnotith Bills have already passed, and those lines are under construction. The Great Western Railway Company will apply fon the extension from Ilungerford to Weetbury, only thirty-flee miles, In the approaching session. The line of the Exeter Great Western Railway is intended to com mence At a distance of about three miles from Exeter,' by a junction with the Bristol and Exeter Railway at Stoke Canon, and proceed ing thence .by Ottery Saint Mary and Honiton, will pass into the Talley of the Axe at Axminster. From that place, the main line, in one direction, will continue along the same valley, passing within about three miles of Chard (which town it is proposed to eanneet with the main line by a short branch), and through Crewkerne, to wards Yeovil, near to which town it will join the Wilts, Somerset, and Weymouth Railway. From Axminster, the main line, in the other direction, will proceed near to Lyme Regis, and thence to Eridport, where it will also join the Wilts, Somerset, and Weymouth Railway, leading towards Dorchester and the coast line to South ampton. The fashionable watering-place of Sidmouth will be made accee sible to visitors from London and all parts of the country, bye branch to that place from Ottery Saint Mary. By reference to the map, it will be seen how effectually this line will supply the only link wanting to complete the continuity of the South Coast Lines, and will afford the beet means for en entire *rough traffic from Cornwall and Devon to the different ports of Bridport, Weymouth, Poole, Southampton, Portsmouth , rratam, Brighton, Hastings, Dover and Ramsgate. It Is also a very important feature in the undertaking, which is acne submitted to the public, that it gives railway communication to a line of country hitherto unsupplied with this essential means of in tercourse with the surrounding districts ; many towns of importance will have the benefit of local intercommunication, besides being plaited on a main and direct lino of transit between the metropolis and the most valuable seaports on the southern coast of England. The inhabitants of the city of Exeter, and of all places beyond it, will be brought to a reduced distance of 177 miles between Exeter and London, instead of 194 miles, the whole being worked uninter ruptedly by one Company, on the same gauge, and en a line superior to any that can be carried for the same object, in any other direc tion, whether considered with reference to the shorter new line re quired to be constructed, or to the comparatively easy gradients that can be obtained at a reasonable cost. Under these circumstances there can be no doubt that this railway will not only confer incalculable benefits on the districts through which it is intended to pass, and generally oa the mineral and agri cultural produce of Devon and Cornwall, but will conchae° to the vast national object of rendering the harbours of Plymouth and Falmouth most serviceable for every purpose of commerce, more easily acces sible for the arrival and dispatch of foreign mails and passengers, avoiding the delays and dangers of Channel navigation, and in case of war, contributing to the security of British preperty, whether at sea or on shore. . _ A mere glance at the map will satisfy every inquirer ef the com mand this line must possess over an unusally large amount of export and import trade, whether in passengers or in goods, independently of the local resources of the country itself, which are known to be very great. One itn portent atom of local traffic on this lime will be tke artiele of coil, with which the district is at present but imperfectly provided en account of the kigh price necessarily paid for land carriage, limit ing very much the consumption by a large class of the population, who must be greatly benefited by reduced cost of transit by railway. The di strict from which coal may be brought is in the neighbourhood of Rad.steck, in Somerietshire, to which place a branch of the Wilts, Somet net, and Weymouth Railway extends, and brings the coals direct from the pit's mouth on to the line of railway. The interests of the landed proprietors have been consulted through out the line, aid it is confidently believed, from the strong local sup port it has received, that the legislature will sanction this measure without hesitation. It is agreed that the line shall be worked by the Great Western Railway Company, under a lease, as in the case of the Wilts, Somer set, and Weymouth Railway ; in consideration of which, the Groat Western Railway Company have undertaken to guarantee to the proprietors four per cent. per annum upon the paid-up capital, with an increa.le of one-half per cent., in proportion to any dividend of one per cent.. upon their own stock, exceeding eight per cent., which in crease shall be payable to the proprietors of the Exeter Great We'tcern Railway Company, in addition to the guaranteed rate ; and Ur., Great Western Railway Company are to become responsible for a i l the preliminary expenses, in case the Act shall not be obtained within the two next sessions of Parliament. The capital will be raised in 26,000 shares of 501. each, upon which a deposit of 51. per share will be paid upon subscriptions, and no further call will be made previously to obtaining the Act' of Incor poration. Interest at four per cent. per annum will be allowed, after the Act shall have passed, on the deposit, and on all paid-up calls during the construction of the line, and until the dividends are provided for, under the guarantee of the Great Wester' Railway Company. The notices are already given, and the plans and books of re ference will be deposited in time for the Act to be applied for at the meeting of Parliament. If the Act should not be obtained, as before mentioned, the deposit will be paid back to the proprietors, but with out interest. A decided preference will be given to landowners and to parties locally interested, or residing ow the line, in the allotment of shares. The prospectus may be obtained, and applications made for shares, to the Secretary of the Great Western Railway Company, at the London office of the Company, 449, West Strand, or at the Padding ton or Bristol stations, or may be addressed to the care of any of the Bankers and Solicitors.—rnexceptionable references must be givea when piirties applylag for shares are not personally known, or, locally interested in the lint • ENGINEERS AND LEVELLERS.

JOSEPH'S ISLAND. in which is now engaging the public attention, and as I have had an opportunity of spending a few weeks upon it, I will give you a short account of this celebrated spot : " It is situated on the coast of Texas, in latitude 28 deg., and about 140 miles south-west of Galveston. The sheet of water between it and the main land is called Aransas Bay, into which a river of the same name flows, and also the Sea Antonio. The island is long and narrow, being about forty miles in length, and varying from two to six in width. ' With certain winds, and certain stages of the tide, it is divided into two portions, one being about eighteen, and the other twenty-four miles in length. This strip of land is a mere sand-bar, which has been formed by deposition from currents of water freighted with sicilious matter. The oceanic currents run in this direction strongly, and bring with them great quantities of drift-wood. These trees and branches having affected a lodgment, become en tangled and intertwined together, and form a strong net work, which binds the whole together. The land is making gradually out in the direction of the sea, because this drift wood is constantly lodging on the shore, and serves to catch and hold the aqueous deposites.. The soil is very poor, being composed of fine sand with little or no proportion of WC*. moue matter or vegetable mould, and is unfit for vegetation in its present state. There is not a tree, or even a bush Upon its surface. Owing to the decomposition of the materials which have been brought by the currents, such as shells and sea-weeds, and the effects which have been prodaced by wild beasts and birds, the surface soil has su ffi c ient strength to produce some grasses. This surface soil is very thin, and the grasses are high and coarse. some portions.. are covered with the musquit grass, which is gaits celebrated, its nutriment being nearly equal in quantity and quality to that of some of our coarse grains. The mustangs, or wild horses, feed upon this grass, and prefer it to any other. The island is very level ; some parts are subject to overflows, and in no place does the land attain to the height of thirty feet above the sea. There is a ridge of sand bill along the coast, which are abrupt on the side of the water, but slope off gradually in the other direction. As you approach the coast, this ridge has the appearance of being a forest; but as you come nearer you discern naught but barren sand-hills, and feel satisfied that distance lends enchantment to the view' ' as well in Texas as elsewhere. Plenty of water is obtained in every part of the island by digging a few feet ; but it is as poor as it is abundant, being very brackish. The enterprising inhabitants have not brought the eretoa to St. Joseph's. We brought some out in the vessel, and it tasted very tine. Why should it not? What the population of title island will be at the next census, I am wholly unable to say. It may be double or treble its present number, and not be 'very great then, for at present there are but two families upon it. The climate is healthy and delightful at this season. da consequence of the little rain which falls, its speedy perco lation through the ground, and the intense heat which•the sand attains, there is a constant current of air from the see. which is very refreshing. The days are warm, and the ni;ftits are cool. Thick clothing is worn mostly at present. The beech excels even the far-famed Rockaway for its fine bath ing.. This has been quite a fashionable resort this season the people from the north, but I believe the fever is confined pria cipally to the military profession. They are not so selfish as to wish to monopolise it themselves, so come on and try it your self. There is the greatest abundance of game, of all sorts. It is very common, in going from six to tea miles on any part of the island, to see from one hundred to two hundred deer grazing. They are quite tame and easily ob tained. Wish I could send you a quarter of venison. Grey hounds would be invaluable here. There is the greatest abundance of wild geese, ducks, plover, snipe, rail, and sand hill cranes, and they are such fine ones, that ''Those now shoot, who never shot before, And those who always shoot, new shoot the more.' "Our greatest annoyance is the rattle-snake, which abounds in the greatest profusion. But these will eventually give place to man. We have plenty of fine fish in Aransas Bay, which, by-the-by, is a beautiful sheet of water, but its na vigation is interrupted by sand bars. Vessels of lighter draught than seven feet can pass the bar, and go as far as Shell Island, some ten miles. The channel is very winding and intricate, and well adapted for wieckieg of small *raft." NEWS FROM TEXAS. The Alabama arrived at New Orleans on the lath, with advices from Aransas Bay to the 12th inst. Among other documents, we have received the following letter from our correspondent, who is now safely in camp : "St. Joseph's Island, Texas, Oct. 10, 1845. " The present position of our country with respect to our southern neighbour is peculiar, and as we are yet young in diplomacy, it is presumed that many new questions of prac tice and policy must arise, on the settlement of which will depend, not only our own future conduct, but whose deci sion may have no small effect in modifying those interna tional rules which civilised nations have acknowledged to be their governing laws. Hence every eye must be directed hither with unusual interest, for Americans feel that the time is now at hand for their country to assert her influence among the nations, and whether or not a hostile gun shall be fired, they look with patriotic pride upon the spectacle of firmness and vigour she now presents. • " But you do not ask for political letters from Texas; yon would rather hear of the dreadful marches,' of war 's alarms,' and all the pomp and circumstance of which the country beyond the Nueces is soon to be the theatre. Of course, everything communicated with reference to the movements of an army is mere speculation, entitled to eon fidence no further than as the views of an actual looker-es. He who claims greater authority for his revelations is an impostor; as the nature of his orders is first published to the world in the act of a good general. That these orders will be judicious, we have a guarantee in the elevated character of our Administration, which many thinking men believe is the very definition of what is demanded by the present crisis. "It is known that this camp is a sort of half-way house fur the troops in transitu. Arrivals and departures have been the exciting incidents for weeks, but in a short time this. place must be shorn of its honours as a scene of interest, and will very soon be degraded to the ignoble rank of a mere depot of stores and supplies. Henceforth look to the ' disputed territory' for the true seat of war. "The United States ship Lexington arrived on the4tb, with detachments of the Ist and 2d Artiller Yesterday the steam-ship Alabama appeared off this is land; she brought from New Orleans five companies of the sth, two of the Bth, and one of the 7th Infantry. All the troops now here, it is understood, move to Corpus Christi in a day or two, and then—Here endeth epistle No. 1." (From N. 0. Picayune, Oct. 16.) The troops stationed at Corpus Christi and St. Joseph's Island were all well. No movement has yet been made upon the Nueces. The Flying Artillery, under Major Rinq- gold, n d i , na were b a o t d yf S t o . Joseph's the forces. the extremely brisk. We have seen letters dated the 10th inst., which state that the Indians lately made an attack upon a settlement en Mis sion river, and killed and drove off all the cattle. The inha bitants were so fortunate as to escape. The attack is sup posed to have been instigated by a desire to avenge the late cowardly attempt upon the life of Castro, who lately gaided Col. Cook, the Texan Secretary of War, to Corpus Christi, and of whom our correspondent spoke so favourably. A bloodless duel came off recently on the beach of St. Joseph's Island, or rather a hoax in the guise of a duel, there having been an understanding between the friends of the principals that no harm should be done. One of the prin cipels is said to have gone off under the MI impression that he has killed his adversary. The United States- store-ship Lexington and the mail schooner On-kah!Y•e sailed , from Aransas on the 7th inst. The schooner Piedmont, of Waldboreugh, Me., had arrived at Aransas from New York, with United tates troops and stores. The steam-boat White Wing has been sold to the United States Government. For the want of warehouses, the schooners Cornelia and T. F. Hunt have been converted into temporary store-ships. The steam-schooner Augusta, and the steam-boat Monmouth, are still em ployed by the Government as lighters. The Monmouth and the schooner Wm. Bryan were shortly to leave for this port for repairs. The schooners Josephine, Henry Plantagenet, and the Emma, arrived at Aransas on the sth, Bth, and 10th respectively, front this port. The schooners Two Friends and Roselle sailed for this port on the 10th, the schooner President, of New York, on the 11th, and the schooner Fame on the Bth inst. The schooners H. L. Kinney and Orange Branch were shortly to sail for Galveston. TEMPLETON IN AMERICA. Our old friend Templeton is creating quite a /swore in America. The New York Herald, which devotes more than a column to the account of his debut, speaks of bins as the greatest tenor singer that has ever appeared. It appears that the house was crowded to suffocation, and. that the audience were ao enthusiastic, that Templeton felt bound, at the conclusion of the performance, to return them especial thanks, which he did in a neat speech, for the magnificent reception they had given him. He re- peated his entertainment on the following evening, and the following is the critique of the New York Tribune:— " On Friday evening, Templeton—the all-acconiplished Templeton—presented us with a romance which might have '• flowed from the pen of Scott. Never was the history of the beautiful and illustrious ' Mary, Queen of Scats,' listened to with sympathy more profound, and never was it our lot to hear the details of history more attractively handled. The whole entertainment fell on our ears more like a brilliant poem than a grave matter of historical interest. The songs were sung as only Templeton could sing them. Did oar space permit we would instance many additional triumphs of this truly great vocalist ; but it is impossible to pass is silence the effect produced by the humorous and eccen tricg love her, how I love ' Jolly Beggars'—the production, it is well known. of King James, who is himself the hero of the ballad—r►hioh was enthusiastically encored. Not inferior to this was the inspiring and original strain, ' Put off, put off,' which alio met, as it merited, a warm encore.

The nature of. such a book is unavoidably such as to give It extraordinary at tractions. These volumes are such as no one who takes them up can easily lay down. The character of the pria cipal personage is one of no ordinary interest. She was the daughter of Mr. Pitt's favourite sister, and lived with hint fer the last years of his eventful life. Before her he freely unbent himself; and as she remembered much that had passed in his society, the principal charm of these volumes is derived from their constant reference to the habits of that great man. Nor can anything be well conceived more at tractive than his simple, amiable character, as it appears ie these pages. He is hardly ever mentioned that he does not rise in our esteem." DIRT FAlR.—This annual fair was held in Salford on Monday last, and certainly retained its right to its appro priate cognomen, the heavy rains of the morning making the streets as dirty as possible. As a fair both for the Bak of cattle and horses, and a pleasure fair for children of all ages, this ancient feast and market is rapidly sinking In popular estimation, and in a few mere years it will be numbered with the things that were. The show of cattle and horses was Uy no means good, and few sales were made. Of PIP, ae usual, there was a large and good show. TAPIOCA.—We believe that a greater quantity of this very nutritious article of domestic use is at present sale able in Liverpool than at any former time. If there should be the apprehended scarcity in potatoes, there are few m ore wholesome esculents as a substitute than tapioca, and certainly there are none which can be procured at so cheep a rate. - The quantity of excellent food obtainable from a pound weight of the article is amply sufficient for the-breakfast or dinner of a tolerably-sized family. We anticipate ,the time when it will be sold as freely in grocers shop as tat, agar, or rice.—Lit'(, -Corer s MADRAS, N ELLORE, and ARCOT RAILWAY COMPANY.

Edward Woods, Esq, This railway i■ designed to connect, by the shortest practicable -route, the port of Liverpool with Preston and ether places to the northward, and with Blackburn and other places to the eastward, and to supply Manchester, Wigan, Bolton, Oldham, Stockport, and other manufacturing districts in Lancashire, and the West Riding of Yorkshire, the advantage of direct railway communication with Southport and the west coast of Lancashire. One portion of this railway will diverge from the present line of the North Union Railway at or near Farrington, and by forming a commanieatien with the Blackburn and Preston Railway there, will accommodate the traffic both of Preston and Blackburn, and the places beyond. From Farrington it will proceed by Ormskirk, and thence past Kirby (where it will form a junction with the Liver pool and Bury Railway), and terminate at the intended new sta tion of the Grand Junction Railway Company at Edge-hill, Liver pool, irons whence there will be access to the north and south docks, as well as to the Lime-street station in that town. This portion of the main line will be twenty-four milts in length, and will bring Liverpool within twenty-seven miles of Preston, and thirty-three miles cf Blackburn. Another portion of the under taking will consist of a trunk line from Southport, passing St. John's, in the village of Burecough, near which it will intersect and form a junetioa with the line from Farrington to Liverpool, and proceed thence through the Douglas Valley to Wigan, where it will avail itself of the North Union station in passing through the town, pro ceeding thence by Hindley, Atherton, Tyldesley, Elleabreek, and Worsley, it will form a junction with the Liverpool and Manchester Railway near Eccles, and with the Manchester, Bolton, and Bury Railway in Pendleton. By means of a junction with the Belton and Leigh Iftal„, way at Atherton, the advantages of this line will be extended to the town of Leigh. The length of this trunk will be about twenty-eight miles of new line, bringing Southport within thirty-three miles of Manchester, sixteen-and-a-half of Wigan, aid twenty-six of Bolton, and reduc ing the time occupied in the journey between Southport and Man chester from four hours to little more than one, and between that favourite watering-place and other manufacturing districts 111 like proportion; at the same time substituting for a dilatory and expensive means of transport, the dispach and economy of a thorough railway c,onnaunleation. The line between Wigan and ➢ianchester will pass through a popu lous district, poesessing extensive manufactures ; and the coal-field it will traverse and lay open to the manufacturing districts, as well as to Liverpool, is second to none in this part of England in richness and variety. This railway will also afford increased facilities for conveying the produce of the abundant agricultural district, lying between the River Alt and the Douglas, to the manufacturing communities of Lancashire and Yorkshire. Notwithstanding the present uncertain, dilatory, and expensive means of access to Stockport, the numbers resorting thither are Tllll great, and rapidly increasing, and it cannot be doubted that the faci lities and economy in time, u well as money, of a direct railway communication, woald give rise to an accession of traffic far exceed lug the ordinary ratio of estimated increase. The benefits resulting from the construction of these lines will be obtained at a comparatively small outlay. The country throughout is easy, and of a level character, rendering the works light, and the gradients highly favourable. There are no engineering difficulties, and the advantage ef terinina/. stations, and access to and through ,the principal towel, are alrdady provided by the' establishments' of the Grand Junction, Man s chester and Leeds, North Union, and Liver pool and Bury Companies, whose cordial co-operation is guaranteed by the participatten,of. those Companies in the capital, and cadge quently in the success of the uncterPakinig• FORM or APPLICATION FOR'STLARg.

The answer is, that he is the poet of domestic life ; ke brings all the endearments of Moms before us ; he IS the poet of Nature, which he describes in all its diversified aspects ; and he is also the poet of Christianity, for no man contributed more to the re vival of Protestant Christianity when it had sunk to the level of mere morality.

Such was_the violence employed, and the terror inspired by the account of uni versal persecution, that a sick nun of their number fell and expired upon the pavement of the chapel. "The remainder were heavily ironed, hand and foot, and marched to Vitepsk, where they were placed in a Russian convent of 'black sisters.' ow h s e se pared , oftblackpriva t e or solders, sisterhoods , penitentiaries, ,oftrsatn.and sßnf w eda z r h i ri e c i edi which areefs rp ma f , otpmfa ri y coal , from Mi n sk, anotherns foorf some m therefuge mm ea soestf convento ur t rw d ie t he w co i m: l ‘ T l4,orderlymlloer "Here o r t o fh s t t eh i t 3e u i3r t eos nunsrd. this abode, where for two years they were kept at hard la bour, chained in couples, and exposed to all the malignity of the depraved associates with whom these women of gentle birth were thus forcibly mingled. " In 1839, all other efforts having failed to shake their resolution, they were transferred to another Russian convent of black sisters, in the city of Polock. Here they met with ten more nonconformist nuns of the same order. The whole number of these women, 57, were now brought up twice a week, on Wednesdays and Fridays, before a commission of the Russian authorities and clergy, and flogged before them, receiving 50 strokes a-piece. " This was continued for months together, till the wounds upon their backs was an open sore, and that pieces of the scabs, and then of the raw flesh, adhered to the instruments of torture. Three of their number died beneath this in fliction. "They were then fed on salt herrings, and refused drink (a favourite Russian mode of torture), except on the condi tion of apostacy. This punishment, which it appears they found the most difficult to bear, was superseded by a system of starvation. They were only fed once every other day, and driven to eat nettles and the fodder of the convent cattle. " They were employed to dig out clay, and not under standing how to conduct an excavation, the earth fell in, and buried five of their number. With incredible barbarity the Russian authorities not only refused to dig them out, but pre vented the nuns from attempting to extricate their com panions. They perished in this self-dug grave. "The next labour in which the survivors were employed, was to aid the masons in constructing a palace for the rene gade bishop. " Some of the Polish gentry, whose spirit no terrors will quell, coming to look on, olio of Lek number addressed some words of consolation to these poor women. Within twenty-four hours not only this imprudent individual, but all those around him, had disappeared. "The falling of a wall in the midst of the nuns injured many, and killed eight of them outright. Aninth and tenth soon after perished. " These ten bodies were carried off by the people, and hidden, where all the efforts of the Russian authorities failed to discover them. " About this period, several monks of St. Bazilius were brought to the same convent. Their treatment is described as having been more barbarous than even that of the nuns. Four of these men, Zawecki, Komar, Zfiewice, and Buck zynski by name, all upwards of seventy years of age, were at last, in the full severity of winter, stripped and placed under a pump, where as the water was poured over them it gradually congealed into a mass of ice, and froze them to death ; another, named Abbe Laudanski, aged and infirm, whilst staggering beneath a load of firewood, was struck upon the head with such violence by a drunken deacon that his skull was fractured, and he died upon the spot. " It must here be explained that all the lower, or white clergy in the Russian Church are very ignorant anddepraved, and that the deacons are the lowest among them. " In the present instance, however, the refusal of the great bulk of the Bazilian clergy to pass over to the Russian Church had obliged it, in these forcibly-converted provinces, to fill up those gaps in the lower ranks of its hierarchy with boors of the most illiterate and dissolute character. "It happened that one of these surviving monks of St. Bazilius succeeded in making his escape ; and Samiasko, irritated at this incident, resolved to conquer the obstinacy of the nuns, and publishing that they were about to read their recantation, caused them to be forcibly led by the sol diery to the portals of the Russian church. The curiosity which this announcement caused, led the whole population'of the city of Mock to assemble • notwithstanding the ex amples which had been- made Of those who had expressed their sympathy with the sufferers. • "The apostate bishop, in his episcopal garments, advanced towards the mins, and bidding the soldiers leave his dear sisters at liberty, spoke to them with paternal kindness, and offering his hand to their superior, prepared to lead her into the church. Irene Mieceslas then seizing one of the hatchets used by the carpenters who had been working at the repara tion of the church, called out to all her nuns to kneel, and addressing Semiasko, told him, After having been their shepherd, to become the executioner of those whom he had not already done to death, and to strike off their heads before the threshold of that temple, which their footsteps would never voluntarily cross.' "So galling was the provocation of this rebuke to the Russian bishop, that unable to contain himself, he struck the superior on the face, and then flung the axe indignantly from him. It chanced in falling to wound one of the nuns in the foot ; and a moment after the superior having put her hand to her mouth, which was filled with blood, drew out one of her shattered teeth, and holding it up to him said, ' Take it, it will earn you some fresh order from the Emperor.' " Such was the effect of this scene, that nothing could re strain the enthusiasm of the people ; and as the nuns were led back by the soldiery, the crowd followed them, singing with one accord Hallelujahs and Ts Deums. " Such, notwithstanding all the repressive terrors of the Russian authorities, became the feeling of the population of the city of Polock, that it was found unsafe to continue the persecution of the nuns within its walls, and they were ordered to be removed to the borough of Medzioly, in the province of Minsk. " This public defeat of the Russian bishop and authorities was, however, revenged on these poor women by an act of such diabolical malignity as only the most undeniable evi dence can render credible. " When the Russian soldiern, and the newly-made deacons had been rendered drunk with brandy, all these helpless nuns wore turned out amongst them as incurably obstinate, to treat as they thought fit. Then commenced a scene worthy of pandemonium—the shrieks and prayers of the victims mingling with the oaths, blasphemies, and ribaldry of the crowd, to whose brutal lust they were abandoned. " When the fury of these demons in human form had been exhausted, it was discovered that two of these unfortunate females were quite dead. The skull of one had been crushed by the stamping on the temples of an iron-plated heel. The other was trampled into such a mass of mud and gore, that even its human character was scarcely recognizable. Eight 6tliers ,had one or several bones or limbs broken, or their eVs torn or trodden out. Of the whole number, the supe rior, a'vromaii of iron frame as well as indoinitable fired the beet ; but She woe not allowed to attend or console her mutilated sisters except on the condition of apostacy. " They were afterwards marched out of Polock by night on foot, and chained two by two,—even those whose eyes had been torn out, and whose hideous wounds were festering. Those whose legs were broken, or who were lamed, were sent forward in carts under the care of Cossacks. " A gentleman of Polock, M. Walenkiowitch, having or dered a funeral service to be read for these victims, was seized in the middle of the night and sent to Siberia, his property being confiscated. A monastery of Dominican monks, in another part of the country, having ventured to pray for them, was immediately dispersed. " On reaching Medzioly, the nuns were again immured in a convent of the black sisterhood, and divided into four parties. Here they were put into sacks, and towed after boats in the water, which was allowed to rise to their mouth and nose. Three more of their number perished in this manner, either of cold, or fear, or drowned by incessant immersion. The inhabitants of Medzioly carried off their bodies is the night, as the earthly coil of holy martyrs which men would some day venerate and hold precious. " After two more years' captivity of the 58 nuns (34 from Minsk, 14 from Vitepsk, and 10 from Polock) only 14 sur vived, and of these eight were either lame or blinded. "The superior, Irene Miesceslas, who had fared the beat, had an open wound, from which she was obliged to extract with her fingers the carious bones, and which afterwards be coming filled with worms, from want of dressing, caused her intense agony. " At length some relaxation of vigilance having opened a prospect of escape, this courageous woman persuaded three of her companions to attempt it with her. In this enterprise these four women all succeeded, enfeebled by disease as they were, and without money or passports, at a distance of between 200 and 300 miles from the Austrian and Prussian frontiers. " At the commencement of the present year, profiting by the scene of riot and drunkenness to which the saint's-day of the protepope of the convent had given occasion, they effected their escape. Leaping down a high wall into the snow they alighted in safety, and immediately fell on their knees in thanksgiving. They then separated, to facilitate their flight. The superior, in the midst of all the severity of the season, was driven to hide for days together in the woods, without other food than berries, or anything to quench her thirst but the snow. Once, driven to extremity, she knocked at the door of a wealthy-looking house, and being received with veneration by its owner, was provided with money, provisions, and a correct map of her route. She crossed the frontier disguised as a shepherd; but even then was not in security, as the cowardly Government of Prussia gives up even its own subjects to the Czar. "It was not until she had reached Posen, in the midst of a Polish population' that she felt in security; and here she had unobtrusively withdrawn to a convent of the Sisters of Charity, but she was considered too precious, as a living tes timony of the horrors daily perpetrated in that Golgotha which the frontier of Russia encircles, to be left in her retire ment. With her scars, wounds, and personal evidence, she has been wisely forwarded to Paris, where a deputation re cently waited on her, to express their sympathy with her cruel treatment. In Posen she was joined by the sister Wawrzecka, and shortly afterwards learned that the other two had, in like manner, escaped the pursuit of the Russian authorities, and been safely forwarded by the zeal of the in ' habitants to the Austrian frontier."

THE RUSSIAN GOVERNMENT AND THE ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH. The following is extracted from a new work, entitled "Eastern Europe and the Emperor Nicholas," by the author of " Revelations of Russia." The descriptions are, we hope and believe, grievously overcharged " In the city of Minsk, in 1837, there still existed a con vent of humble nuns of the order of St. Bazilius. Their time, like that of the • Sisters of Charity,' was divided be tween their religious duties, attendance on the sick, and the education of poor children. " Far and wide through the surrounding country, the suffering and needy had learned to bless their unassuming benevolence, and people of all ranks regarded with venera tion a community, distinguished not by by ascetic practices, but through its active and unwearying philanthropy. " The very popularity of this order, and the estimation in which it was held, marked it out for a persecution, so atro cious that I know of nothing more harrowing in times ancient or modern. " The cruelties of Nero, Domitian, and Caligula, the most virulent religious persecution of past centuries, and the hor rors of the French revolution, rarely equalled in degree the barbarities practised on those harmless women, and sink into insignificance beside them, when the long protraction of seven years of suffering is considered. "All the details of this'inhumanpersecutior might have re mained either utterly untnown beyond 018, Russian frontier, or merged,' n •yaguseassmours of cruel treatment, but for the provideptlal escape of,foue of the sufferers. " Between 1837 and 1845, 44 nuns perished at the hands of the Russian despotism, out of 58 devoted to duties whose fulfilment appeals so directly -to all human sympathies, that a religious sisterhood analegons to their own had been spared trien during the French reign of terror, which so pitilessly swept away all social landmarks. Of the 14 that remained, eight had either had their eyes torn out or their limbs broken, and of the other six only four had strength to at tempt, or fortune to effect, their escape. A few more months and the whole surviving 14, at last doomed to Siberia, might have been expiring on that weary road, which the ten unhappy creatures left behind by the fugitives, are at this moment being dragged or driven over, all lamed, blind, or ailing. "Nothing in that case would ever have reaches our ear of the incredible sufferings of these poor victims, whose fate would silently have contributed to swell those statistics of proselytism which the Russian Government gives periodically , to Europe, and which Nicholas has commemorated by the I famous medal inscribed with the motto, Separated by vio lence, and reunited by love.' " Of the four fugitives, two—the sister Wawrzecka and Irena Macrina Minceslas (Mieczyslaska)—succeeded in reach ing Posen in Prussian Poland, where the Roman Catholic archbishop, having taken down their circumstantial deposi tion of the facts about to be narrated, sealed it with the arms of the archbishopric, and forwarded the document to Rome. " An order consequently arrived for the superior to repair to Rome by way of Paris, in which city she took up her abode till the 10th of October last, under the same roof with one near and dear to the author. " Here she was led to give all the sad details of her harrow ing story, whilst the scars which mark her body added their dumb eloquence tO her recital. " Irena Mieceslas had been thirty years renowned 'for her charity and benevolence throughout the Government of Minsk, as head of the Bazilian convent, consisting of 34 nuns, in the city of that name. It will be hence at once per ceived that she is advancing into the vale of years. The aspect of her countenance, according to the portrait which the writer has before him, is at once noble and indicative of deter mination. It derives the first expression from the position of the eyes, which is such as we rarely meet with out of the Scandinavian or Anglo-Norman race—viz., obliqued upwards from the outward corners, that is to say, in a direction pre cisely contrary to the eyes of the feline species, of all Mongo lian races, and of many of the inhabitants of southern coun tries. The finely-chiselled corners of her mouth seems to mark a decision of temper, of which she has given the most heroic proofs in her conduct. " The substance of her narrative, which the other three sisters corroborate in the minutest particulars, is to the fol lowing effect : " The Emperor Nicholas, having profited by his influence and privileges in nominating corrupt and ambitious tools to the bishopric of the Bazilian communion (that is say, the Roman Catholics with (reek forms), amongst these Semi asko, the bishop of the diocese in which the convent of these poor nuns was situated, had apostatized to the Greek from the Latin church. Finding that the great mass of the clergy, and the whole of their congregation, refrised to follow the ex amples of their chiefs, Nicholas ordered forcible means to be resorted to, and set on foot a persecution, which caused the females of this religious association great alarm, and induced them to use the private influence of their friends in the Rus sian capital, to be allowed to retire from the convent into the bosoms of their families.' "This boon the Emperor refused, referring them to their apostate bishop.
