The contractor was then summoned befire the magis trates, and, unde-r the 7th section of the Bakers' Act, he was'convicted in the penalty of 51., for refusing to weigh his bread when requested to do so by the purchaser. Against this decision the contractor appealed, and, at the quarter FeAions, he contended that the magistrates had no jurisdiction in the matter, inasmuch as the 7th section did not apply to the sale of bread in a shop, but only to the sale of bread from 'a cart or carriage. The quarter sessions, however, ruled differently. They held that the words in the Act—" every such baker shall be liable to the penalty of 60—applied to all bakers, and they con firmed the decision of the magistrates. Now that wa3 substantially the question to be argued in this case. The appellant contended that the section was only applicable to bakers telling from a cart, otherwise every baker, when he sent home bread in a basket, would be com pelled to provide his man with a pair of scales to meet the demands of troublesome cooks, who wished to have the bread weighed. The 6th asd 7th of William IV. was passed for the purpose of extending the City of London Act, the 3d of Geo. IV., chap. 106, to the en tire country, and that Act, although it provided that every baker should exhibit and furnish his shop with weights and scales, it made no provision for fining him in the event of his refusing the request of a cus tomer to weigh the bread he was selling. Mr. Justice PATTESON observed that that was a strange omission. Mr. PARNELL said it really was so, for the only pe nalty which the City of London Act inflicted upon a baker who kept a shop was a fine of 10s. for neglecting to weigh his bread, whether he was requested to do so or without. There was no penalty whatever for refusing to weigh the bread in the presence of the purchaser. Appiicatioll granted. The court atterwrrds sat at nisi prime, and disposed of several undefended cases. HAYMARKET THEATRE. On Saturday evening Mr. Macready performed what many persons consider his greatest Shaksperian part, that of King Lear, to a house crowded to suffocation. He lacks not one jot of his originGl vigour, he exhibits no failing of either physical or of mental energy; and why he should leave the stage now, in the very prime of his life and of his strength, is a puzzle ; such, however, is his will, and notwithstanding he never performed King Lear so well in his life as he did on Saturday, he will not re peat the character many times more. We cannot close this notice without bestowing our hearty commendation on the Edgar of Mr. Davenport; it was a fine and manly piece of acting. Mr. Davenport is the hest actor of juvenile tragedy that has appeared since the palmy days of Charles Kemble. The house was crowded to suffocation, and the performances were applauded to the echo. PRIN CESS'S THEATRE. The Merchant of Venice was performed here on Sa turday with Mr. Charles Kean as Shylock, and Mrs. Charles Kean as Portia. In the character of Shylock Mr. Charles Kean makes a nearer approach to his father than in any other ; therefore do we consider it one of the best, if not the very best, in his repertoire, and on Saturday evening he acted it magnificently, pourtraying the intensity of hatred, the unquenchable thirsting for revenge, and the malignant demoniac satisfaction of gratified, but not satiated vengeance, with immense power. The scene with Tubal was perfect. The Portia of Mrs. Charles Kean has bean long admired as one of the most exquisite of her Shaksperian creations. She delivered the mercy speech with exqui site grace and propriety, and addressed it, as it ought to be addressed, to Shylocle and Lot to the audi ence. Mr. King, of the Theatre Royal Eainliurgh, made his first appearance on the metropolitan boards in the character of Bassanio. lie has a good stage figure and countenance, is gentlemanly- and graceful in his manner and action, has a full, clear, flexible voice, and declaims beautifully; he was much applauded, and he will be a great acquisition to the Princess's corps dramatique. Miss Mary Kee:ey was Jessica, and sang Bi,hop's air, "Should he upbraid," with great taste and feeling. The play was excellently acted throughout, and put on the stage with great taste. Mr. and Mrs. Kean and Mr. King were called for at the conclusion. COURT CIRCULAR. WINDSOR, Nov. 2. The Queen and his Royal Highness Prince Albert walked this morning in the Slopes.

Gur Fitwiuss DAT AT Ricumorin.—Recent events in the Romish Church have caused a hand-bill, headed "No Popery," to be extensively circulated in and about the town of Richmond, in which it is stated that " several Protestant inhabitants of Richmond and its vicinity, being desirous (more particularly at this time) of testifying their abhor rence of Popery by a public demonstration, propose to have a display of fireworks on Richmond-green, on Tuesday even ing, November 5, at eight o'clock, in commemoration of the discovery of the Gunpowder Treason and Plot I which should never be forgot." The subscription to this demonstration is not only general, hut embraces some of the first names in Richmond. Similar demonstrations are likely to be very general throughout the country. INAUGURATION DINNER OF THE LORD MAYOR ELECT.—On Saturday Alderman Musgrove, the Lord Mayor elect, gave a splendid banquet at the Albion Tavern, upon the occasion of her Majesty's approval of his election to the office of chief magistrate of the city of London. Some idea may be formed of the entertainment from the fact that the hospitable master of the feast gave orders to Messrs. Staples to spare no expense. The table presented a sumptuous omen of the City doings of 1851. Amongst the company were Aldermen Wilson, Gibbs, and Hooper, the Recorder, Alder men William Hunter, Sidney, Moon, Finnis, Lawrence, Al derman and Sheriff Carden and Sheriff Hodgkinson, Mr. Ryland and Mr. Locke, common pleaders; Mr. Potter, tho City s t.pleatnerd.siec.opmameri,tptereotanb-lart.r Broad-street; t ad ; s 3 d i e r n . ,the Anderton,ltev.

With ng of 1847, which were hatched about May, and I placed the in the garden. There they were attended and fed by myself and some of the juvenile members of my family, and in duo time they spun : and much wishing to turn the produce of t w h o is rn v ls ie , w 2, ol their industry to soma use, I directed my attention towards n making the scarf which I have the pleasure to lay before an i n o: t h h e ou s s p e ri you. The silk was wound from the cocoons by my daughter and myself on a winding machine, and afterwards 1 wove it into . its present form. It has con sequen tly never been in the hands of any manufacturer, and presents the same colour and quality as when taken from the cocoon. I may add, that the outhouse in which the worms lived had no windows to protect them from.the weather. which was unusually cold for the season of the year; as I think this point may illus trate the fact that our English climate presents no insuper able obstacle to the cultivation of silk. The mulberry tree was of the common kind. Mr. Martin ' s appointment tog vacant ju d g esh ip was announced to the bar by the Lord Chancellor on Satur.. day; but as there are certain reasons for his not taking lii4 seat on the bench by the side of his father-in-law, Sir F. Pollock, it is probable that he may be transferred to another court. THE LATE FIRE IN GRAVEsEND•—On Saturday Samuel Marder, who was remanded from w e dnesday last on suspicion of arson, was again brought before the borough magistrates of Gravesend. Additional evidence of a some what eriminatory character was adduced against the pri soner. Mr. North, superintendent of the Gravesend police, stated that in the cellar in which the box with the candle stick in it was found he observed a quantity of wadding and unbound books, partly burned, strewn about the floor. R e examined the shop and alt the apartments of the house im mediately after the fire, and came to the conclusion that the stock, furniture, and fixtures were altogether not worth 1001. The chairman (Mr. Oakes) h a ving anno unced that the bench had made up their minds to commit the prisoner for trial, Mr. Southgate. who appeared for hinn said lie would reserve his defence. Mr. Southgate added that he 11eind his client's memory so defective, and, in the la n g uage of one of the wit nooses, his mental faculties so much impaired, that he had considerable difficulty iu comprehending his instruction& The prisoner was then committed to n o to take his trial at the next assizes. THE SHIP HanrnEr.--The Proprietors of thin vessel wish us to state that her reported loss is now proved to be unfounded, the Harpley having beers spoken with, and all well, on the 27th of September, on her way to Australia, while her loss was reported to have occurred on the 24th of the month. The protest of the Clergy of the Archdeaconry of Middlesex, inviting the co-operation of the laity in resistance to the recent Papal agaress i on s, has received in the course of a day and a half upwards of 200 signatures. It is confi dently expected that the demonstration made in the diocese of London will be followed up not only by similar meetings and protests of the clergy, but by petitions and addresses from the laity. We understand that several of the metropo litan parishes are already in motion. EXTENSIVE ROBBERY OF MONEY SECURITIE S AT LEEDS.—On Thursday evening the Masons Arms Inn, St e James's-street, Leeds, was entered during the hours of busle tress, and a large quantity of property stolen. Th e h ouse had a good deal of comp an y in, and while the landlord and his family were engaged in attending to their customets some thieves got through a window at the back of the hous , ), broke open the door of the landlord's he , hoom, which had been locked, and stole therefrom a cashbox, containing principally in gold and silver ; securities to the value o f 180/. ; a number of waterw orks share certificates ; a cheque upon Beckett's Bank for 501. ; a :quantity of silver plate, consisting of tea and saltspoons ; and a quantity of old coins and crooked sixpences. A MONSTER FIDDLE.—Mr. William Green, ship ping agent at Folkestone, received on the I,t instant, from Paris, an " octobasse," which we believe is intended for 111. Jullien, of the Theatre Royal Drury-lane. The wonders J 1 dimensions of this instrument may be inngined from is height being upwards of 12 feet, independent of the start). The tones will be produced by pedals acting on circuler pieces on the finger-board. AMERICAN NEWS.

This created a run upon all the other bank ing -houses, but which, excepting in one instance, was successfully met, tending greatly to a renewal of con fidence. An expedition up the Klamath and Umpqua rivers had resulted in the discovery of rich gold mines. From the mines our accounts are conflicting, although of an encouraging character.

A performance of organ music was given on Friday evening last, at the establishment cf Meisrs. Gray and Davison, in the New-road, by Mr. W. 'l'. Best, the organist to the Liverpool Philharmonic Society, which was attended by a numerous and fashionable assembly. Mr. Best, though still young in years, is a musical professor of extensive celebrity in Lanca shire and the north of England, where his :.:chieve ments as an organist have not only excited the admi ration of the multitude of musical amateurs who abound is that part of the kingdom, but extended his fame ' throughout the entire length and breadth of the land. The instrument upon which he played on Friday is one of the first of its class, and has be<u built by Messrs. Gray and Davison, for the Centenary Chapel of Boston, in Lincolnshire. It embraces three manuals, from CC 3 feet to F in alt—the pedal organ, two oc taves and a fourth, in compass from CCC 16 feet to F ; the whole of the stops in this, as well as in the manuals, except the keraulophon and clarionet flute, go throughout. The swell is to tenor C. There are two bellows, one for the mends, the other for the pedal organ ; and four composition pedals for changing the stops ; also the new and effective pedal. The sides, as well as the front of the case, contain speaking-pipes ; and the dimensions of the instrument are, twenty-six feet high, twenty-three feet wide, and eighteen feet deep. There are forty-nine stops, and two thousand four hundred and ninety pipes. Upon this gigantic musical machine Mr. Best, single-handed and unaided by any assistant, perfermed ,oine of the most difficult productions of Bach, , Hoepner, Krebs, Hesse, Albeircohetpsnbeerr, the co ger, li tn inc o k, Julius Andre Handel, Mend elsohn, and Eberlin, di introducing in the "Adagio , " by i nassetto stop ; in the " Tema," by Hesse, the keraulo phon ; in Mendelssohn's Sonata, the contra la " gotto ; in the "Allegret to Pastorale," the co ntra fagotto and flageo let ; and p osaune and g rand pettai posaune, i n fies* , e's Variations on God sav e the Queen."

The French seem bent on public speaking at I.l)ni and maintain;ng conquests abroad—both of which, says history, are unattainable. As to foreign conquest, Walpole, who had the means through Mine. du Deffand of understandiniz their national qualities, said to Pinkerton—" French character in individuals is often excellent, but taken in general it disgusts by its petulance and vanity. The French have always been dissolute : the most unpardonable offence to fathers, husbands, brothers, and lovers. This and their petulant o-yer hearing conduct prevent their conquests from being lasting; yes, I swear by the Sicilian Vespers, they never will be of much duration." Tasso "had never read of any army marching out of France and occu. pying territory in England or Germany," perhaps considering the Normans as a distinct race—if indeed lie had ever heard of them. Racine makes the Sultan Orosmane say— Non, Louis contre moi ne tournera les armes. Las Francais cunt lass de cherehor Ellioimais Des climats que pour cur le destin n'a pa 3 faits. The gasconade of M. Papineau in Canada, 1837, showed that French mettle was too brittle for either public assemblies or remote settlements.—Consider also Brennus, Francis 1., and Napoleon, whose con quests were but transitory. So much for foreign dominion. With vegard to public speaking, the Abbe Mably, long before the first revolution, declared that "the in stitution of national assemblies, which ; were coeval with French history, had never been congenial to its temper." Their petulance makes a decent debate im possible, in fact they cannot bear to sit still without hearing the sound of their own voice. Napoleon commended the silence and order of an English man of-war and said, the French seamen gabbled like a parcel of geese. The sheet-anchor, or still better , the ancre de ?PI isericorde of the assentidie: legislative, is good old Philip Dupin, who was Ney's counsel in 1815. Without him—oh word of fear : the fauxbourgs would soon descend and give a striking lesson to those gueux de represerdants. Dupin and Thiers have the appearance of most highly respectable merchants rather than courtiers or statesmen. Thiers has the great advantage of being short and thick. Dupin has the projecting eyebrows which distinguished Pius VII. and Consalvi among the Croats and Vandals in Sir T. Lawrence's gallery of portraits—like Tierney, Canning, Fox, " men of in formation " collecting intelligence in the inscrutable brow as in a pencil of rays—more anxious to under stand than to be understood—no synthetical a priori ; no made-up systems octroygs to patient peoples. Dupin treats the ripresentants like so many school boys. They divide themselves into bureaux to ini tiate propositions and there, it is to be hoped, two or three may speak at a time. But under Dupin's eye it is always "La Cloture! Assez! assez ! Aux voix 1" (question.) Frequent longings for a declara tion de l'urgence, which dispenses with all the stages of debate : or a fierce struggle for l'ordre du jour, so as to change the suloect at least : still more for l'ordre du jour motive, which at once closes a debate tedious to all but the speakers, and enunciates a formula of generality—mortal sin against rudiments of discussion. L'ordre de jour is observed by the newspapers to depend much on the jour, when the weather is fine it is really is otivi by a ride i❑ the Bois de Bologne. Every instant the President rings a large belll—the members and President all address each other by tame, hich has a disorderly effect. In April a most ludi crous and dangerous scene took place merely because Dupin was replaced by a vice-president. The cry was, to the bewildered gentleman in the chair, Couvrez yous ; put on your Hat, in sign of distress, pour comble de malheur ! _ . It is obvious that Louis Napoleon keeps a bright look-out on the press and the theatres, which enable him to feel the. national pulse. At the Cirque was given a military melo-drama in tableaux, or a series of scenes connected but slightly. Here the prestige of Napoleon was tried on %fairly. At the Francais great pains were taken in getting up Charlotte Corday, to see how a reign crf terror would be likf-d. This heroine was descended from Corneille, greatest of Frenchmen. Another drama called Month drew out whatever leaning there might be to a Restoration ci l'Anglaise of the Count de Chainbord. Till very lately, a notion prevailed that Louis Napo leon was acting the rhle of General Monek, who re stored our Charles 11. Napoleon himself by caress ing the nobles in the faubourg St. Germain, and by recalling emigres, gave rise to the same idea. The wish was father to the thought—they would feign believe he aimed at a restoration. It was to extirpate this notion among royalists that he shot d'Engbien— a frightful coup cr etat, which, however, has been al ways misstated, and made no impression in France till the Bourbons returned twenty years after, when it became a cheval battaille for courtiers. In the old Revolution, after going through all the forms they could desire against Louis XVI., they ended by saying that no one could reign innocently (that is, no Frenchman). Luckily our President is Corsico-Tascan, and partly Creole by extraction. But besides the impossibility of any French head resisting the dizziness of power, no two can act to gether, so you have neither unity nor ensemble, neither a strong pull nor a pull together. The police induced Chenu, Delahodde, and Brevet, heroes of February, to witness against themselves that no plan or rationale existed, that all was chaos come again, and nothing certain but enormous lying. Your triumvirate, consulate, directory, were composed of the greatest possible egotists without any centripetal force whatever, ex cept the old emigré priest and noble, Talleyrand, Abbi Sieyes, Monk Fouche (who always retained the appearance of a monk), and Bishop Talleyrand I Such were the chiefs of a popular revolution or, to change the order, three of the highest aristocrats in Europe—Mirabeau, Lafayette, and Talleyrand again. The latter became indispensable to every Govern ment, for which of course he was blamed.° In the short space of seven years our England was ruled by " The Long Parliament—a council of officers—Barehones' Parliament—a council of officers again —Protector by Instrument of Government — Protector by Humble Petition and Advice—a third council of officers—s third Long Parliament—a Convention—a King." The best man would be he who made himself necessary to each of these shapes— whatever has but one figure perishes for that reason Immota labescunt; Sed qua perpetue aunt agitata, manent. _ None of the French demagogues could exist but in some conceited ephemeral government of their own; they have but one shape : on whom could the mantle of Fouquier Tinville descend ? They frequently speak of themselves as a " nation a malheur,' and make no secret about it. Mourons —mourir—mourir pour la patrie—Symptomes dune ambition rentrie. Racine had no intuition of raising a laugh when he said : '• Mourons, cher Onnin, moi come un Vizir, toi, Comme le favouri d'un homme tel quo moi: which is still more amusing when you consider that the word Vizir means a Porter : the Sublime Porte is strictly the sublime porter. Also, the " lady in the case" must have been some fat young slave who had - her choice, either to please her purchaser, or else —the sack and the Bosphorus ! But before this mourons they must take as many lives as possible. They speak of 10,000 men killed in Paris in 1848 as a simple, natural circumstance. Dans lea rivloutions, on fait—this and that ; speaking with the " superfi cial decision" peculiar to France and always in generalibus. A "few drops of Eldonine"—a little patientia dubitandi, would do them a power of good. The war of the Fronde during the minority of L ouis XIV. could only have taken place here. Napoleon had his necessities, and was modified by them. You cannot deny him the instinct of sove reignty, the innate desire to do irresistible , the strong di vinity of soul, the deci ded and vocation to glory : still, be had his necessities, and sometimes talked French (greatly as he preferred Ita lian) till he talked himself into French notions. In this style he said that even if the invasion of England from Boulogne failed, it wou ld b e an o bj ec t of éclat in the eyes of posterity. B es id es ( o h, Na poleon!)it would put one-half of England in mourning for the other, which convinces me he never meant it unless by way of diversion. The extreme vanity of the French, and their appa rent contempt of death, whith Rochefoucault, draw ing his characters from the Fronde, decided was not real, assimilates then to heath e n Gr e eks and Romans. , potest qui mori non potest. Napoleon had less of this feeling. " Why should he play the Roman fool, and die ?" Nowhere out of France could such egotism and vanity as that of Cicero and Uncle Pliny be found. For which reason the painters, as Coypel, Poussin, Lebrun, and especially David, show an affinity to the ancients which is not all affectation. * The lameness of Talleyrand, like that of Scott, Byron, and Sir \V. Gell, not only confined him to the library, but also gave him a stimulus to escape ridicule. Sensibility would be a good pOrteress, if she had but one hand; with her right she opens the door to pleasure, but with her left to pain.—Eliza Cook's Journal.

THE POLISH BALL. TO TILE EDITOR OF 711 E ISta,—Relying on your well-kncwn syinp;;Jhy for Po I venture to end 3 nu e aostry tof a speech which Lord Dudley Stuart, President of the Literary Ass,ciation of the Friends (,f Poland, delivered in presence of the Polish Bail Committee, at Guildhall, on the 29:h ult. The papers have omitted the report of that speech, but as it throws considerable light on the situation of the refugees, the publication of it in your columns may be useful to the cause. After expressing his gratitude, and that of the refu gees, to the Corporation of London for the many proofs of sympathy and kindness received at their hands, his Lordship procccd9cl to state that since the list meeting of this committee one part of the press had assailed the object and the promoters of the pre sent undGrtaking. He felt . : it, therefore, his duty to repeat what lie had formerly said, that it was not to encourage vice or to promote idleness that - these funds were so kborieusly raised for the alleviation of the sufferings of Polish refu gees, in this country. It is well known that every trade and profession, and every branch of busi ness, was over-done, and that clever and industrious Englishmen could not always find employment. How much more difficult must this he to foreigners. The role,, however, putting aside the recollection of their former state, have always been ready for any honest work. Officers, men of birth and station, have not thought themselves degraded by working as common labourers on railways. Others, more for tunate, have found situations either as teachers or as commercial clerks, usually at very low salaries. --A - Triust of the refugees contribute to their own maintenance ; but it would be too much to expect that all should be employed. Some are, indeed, incapable of work from age, wounds, and other infirmities. There are among them men crippled with rheumatism, and unfit for any physical exertion. Others, who hav ing met with serious accidents on the railways—as it has been the case with one not long ago, who bad se veral trucks passed over his legs, which received such severe injuries that the man cannot do anything—are left with numerous families, without sufficient main tenance—idiots, who would starve but for the small pittance afforded them by the Association. Ay, the very sickness which is the chief object of the pre sent appeal to the public, is often occasioned by star 'ration. The medical gentleman who attends the Poles, and who also holds an office under Government, has declared at the last public meeting of the Polish Association that mast cases of illness which came under his treatment arose absolutely from want of food. But even those who have employment cannot always depend upon it, and what they got seldom or ever enables them to make any provision for sickness or compulsory idleness. One of them, an elderly man with four children and a wife, had for several years been employed in a factory, and owing to want of physical strength, he, a few months ago, was discharged, and thus left in a state of poverty. It is for the relief of such men, for the relief of the blind, the halt, and the maimed, that the money raised by the Polish balls will be devoted ; " and I confess (said his Lordship) that if I knew of another way of going to work than by application to the generosity of the citizens of London I should of course adopt it. But, really, there seems to be at present no other alternative for the Poles than to appeal again to the noble feelings of the inhabitants of this wealthy city, where they at least find hearts beating with that love of liberty of which the Poles themselves are the melancholy victims. It has been remarked, why should not the Poles apply to some of the other charities with which this country. abounds ? Why always trouble the citizens of Lon don ? The truth of the matter is, that the city of London is their only refuge. The Society of FO - in Distress does not, I believe, relieve, accord ing to its rules, political refugees. Some time since I took an ective part in a hassar for the benefit of the Strangers' Friend Society, but when I applied for some portion of the proceeds in behalf of the Poles , I was told that it was impossible to devote any to the political refugees. But are politic:l refugees then &lensed to starvation in England ? Is dancing in their behalf so heinous a crime ? Every charity has some contrivance or other, by means of which it re plenishes its exchequer. Dinners are given for the benefit of the German Hospital—tea parties for other institutions. Is the relief ef the Polish refugees by means of a ball, so very objectionable ? Why, it seems to me (continued his Lordship) that this mode of raising the funds is attended with double advantage, it helps the needy and promotes trade. Nobody goes to a ball upon compulsion, and whoever goes to it has the double satisfaction of pleasing himself and of doing good to others. It is, sometimes, said that the misfortunes of the Poles come too often before the public. They who grumble the most are precisely the men who have seldom or never given one farthing for their relief. It is very true that few refugees have come to this country in a more desti tute condition than the Poles. Within the last fifteen months, more than 200 of them were compelled to seek an asylum in England from France and S a Ayer land. A body of those men, in May last, presented themselves at the Mansion-house, in a state bordering on starvation, to solicit means of employment or relief from the sitting magistrate, but their request could not be complied with. The funds of the Polish Association were nearly exhausted, and had it not been for the Yid received from several of their less unfortunate countrymen abroad, they should have perished in the streets of London. Many of these men were enabled to proceed to New York, in search of a less miserable lot. It is also said, why do not the Poles return to their own country ? tie vho puts this question must be either very ignorant, or his object is to treat the unfortunate with derision. Th e Poles cannot return to their country. All those from the Austrian and Prussian Poland, who had leave to do so, have returned, and let me observe, that even among those, there are persons who, having gone home and lived for some time in the midst of their families, were again compelled to quit their domestic hearths, on a mere suspicion of having taken a part in the war of independence. I tried, said his Lordship, soma time ago, to send back to his own country, the poor idiot, a native of Galicia, whose case I mentioned to you, by making au application to the Austrian Minister, but I met with a peremptory refusal. As to aussia, the thing is out of the question ! every • retugee who would attempt to re-enter his country without per mission, would expose himself to a further journey to Siberia, or at least to the Caucasus. The notoriety of these facts is unquestionable. They are as well known to the press of this country as they are to myself. It is therefore very strange, thet the Times and other newspepers should visit upon the unfortu nate refugees themselves, as if it were their own act— a state of misery and destitution—which is only the act of the foseign governments who have partitioned Poland. They feel no indigestion for the oppressors, at least they express none ; but they lavish every epithet of reproach or coetuinsly against men, against whom the only charge they could bring is that they have fought and bled for their country. Is it the cruse of liberty that they are thus hating in secret 1 0 or is it mean subserviency to the power of despotism ? It is a question which I leave them to decide; but of one thing I am certain, that the people of this country will never abandon the cause of Poland, or sutler those expatriated children to die of want. His Lordship then handed in a long list of patron esses and patrons of the preselit entertainment, and also the names of several distinguished artistes, who have offered their gratuitous services on the occasion, and assured the eocantittee that the prospects of the ball were of a most cheering and encouraging nature. I have the honour to be, Sir, your obedient servant, C. SZIJLCZEWSKI, Secretary. Literary Association cf the Friends of Poland, Sussex Chambers, St. James's, Nov. 1, Isso.
