COWER Sec. 85, Queen-street, Cheapside. The Austrian Consul-General at Warsaw, Count Ludolf, has addressed a long report to Baron Beust on the present state of the kingdom of Poland. He says that, in addition to the ukase suppressing the name of Poland, a series of decrees and regulations has been issued for the more complete assimilation of the kingdom with the empire. By these decrees the Catholic religion, which is professed by four-fifths of the population of the king dom, is in future to be considered as " a foreign religion , .whose existence is tolerated side by side with the State religion, that of the Orthodox Russian Church ;" all private schools, both for boys and girls, are to be closed at the end of the present term, after which Russian schools only are to be authorized ; all officials of Polish origin, without distinction of rank, are to be gradually re moved from their posts, and no petitions or letters of any kind addressed to the Government departments are to be answered unless they are written in the Russian language. The - North Eastern Correspondence says that Count Ludolf's report has produced so strong an impression on the Emperor Francis Joseph that his Majesty has sum moned him to a personal interview at Posth. [ADVERTISEMENT.] —Holloway's Ointment and Pills.— Are an infallible remedy for bad legs and all kinds of wounds. The surprising sale of these universal medicines, in every part of the civilised world, is the most convincing proof of their efficacy. They speedily cure bad legs, old wounds, scrofula, and diseases of the skin. Thousands of persons suffering from these dreadful maladies have been cured by these medicaments, after every other means had failed; and it is a fact, beyond, all doubt, that there is no case, however obstinate, or however long standing, but may be quickly relieved and ultimately cured, by these wonderful medicines. Their united action is irresistible. More need not be said in their praise. Let those who doubt their ozoollouot aiTe them, A trial, IHE ERNIANS. The news supplied by the Fenian .Conspiracy lately been more than . ordinarily sensational. First:, in importance is the attempt on the life of the Duke of EniNnuRGII. On the 12th March a man named OTARREL, who pronounced himself to be a Fenian, deliberately shot his Royal Highness io the back ; the hall entered half an inch from thu spine, 801 turned along the ninth rib till it pass.;(l to she front, lia!f-way round the body, where it was extracted two days after. The Fenian took the opportunity of the presence of the Prince at • • publica pie-roc in aid of a Sydney Charity to give effect to his design, which it is said fell to him by lot in execution of an order received front the Fenian circle in Eualand. On the lBth March O'FARI:EL was arraigned before th Supreme Court, found guilty on the 31st March of wounding with intent to kill, and sentenced to be hanged. The assassination of JOHN D'Ancv M•GEE, plotted, it is said, by the Fenian circle in New York, and carried into execution as is now pretty well established by a man named WHELAN, is the Fenian event of the 'Western world which excites most attention. Here in England there has been the trial of - the Fenian prisoners accused of causing the Clerkenwell explosion ; but MICHAEL BARRETT only, of the nine persons has been con victed-and sentenced to death. A vigorous effort was made to prove an alibi hi his - favour. - Three shoemakers from Glargow testified that on the 13th December, the day of the explosion, BARRETT was in that town, and therefore could not have been in London. Mr. M'NULTY had not only brought to him a pair of boots for repairs on the 13th, but had called the next day, annoyed at not receiving his boots, when the fortunate entrance of two shoe makers, each of whom set to work on a boot, enabled BARRETT to get the jela completed. The circumstance was all the more impressed on his mind as BARP.ETI . took a paper and read aloud the narrative of the explosion. Here was a substantial alibi, but it failed in bringing home to the judge, jury, or any one else, the impression of truth. Before sentence of death was passed on BARRETT he addressed to the court a very effective speech, in which he reviewed the evidence, and touched with withering scorn on the approver MULLANY :—" Hie indeed is a life that no one will envy, and every one, even the most abandoned, will despise him. The very parties who now smile upon him and have recourse to him will spurn him. A thousand times more welcome is death to a criminal convicted of the highest crime than life and so-called liberty at the sacrifice of everything that tends to elevate the human being and renders him worthy the name of man." He spoke of the love he bore his native country, asserting that he would willingly and gladly give his life if by that means he could redress the wrongs of that persecuted land. Turn ing again, however, to the evidence of his com panion MULLANY, he declared—" If there was one thing more than another required to com plete the degradation of Irishmen it is what has happened in this Court. An Irishman's oath will no longer be admitted in a court of justice where the life of a fellow-creature is at stake. This is, indeed, a crowning indignity and a crushing humiliation." After expressing a fervent wish that Irishmen will never cease to attempt to shake off that yoke which has so long depraved and degraded them, until the freedom of their country or the ex tinction of their race shall be complete, he thanked his Lordship for his patient hearing, his counsel for their able defence, and announced that he would ascend the scaffold with firmness, preferring that to life with the brand of Cain. He was consoled with the reflection that the stain of murder does not rest upon him. it is singular to remark the bearing as sumed by the Fenian prisoners in these trials. It shows how invincible is habit and training ; and how completely a man in ty be wed led nit only to error, but to the approval of plain and unvarnished crime. Sul loin has a more reckless al..' sh vking outrage been committed than that of Clerkenwell. Seldom has a more sensiile:s. causeless, and vicious assassina tion been attempted than that of the Captain of 013 Galatea. A street composed of frail tenements of the poor was, through BARI:Eyes agency, when filled with inmates, shattered into ruin on the chance of releasing two prisoners —in Australia the Fenian assassin shoots at a post-captain in the Navy, a young man universally liked and respected, and who has spent the most active part of his career at sea, simply because this sailor happened to be the son of the QUEEN. We can understand the murder of Mr. 111.‘GEE; not only was he a leading statesman of the dominion, but he was a very awkward instance for the conspirators of change of senti ment coming from riper and more general knowledge. As a boy he had drunk deeply of the froth and effervescence of the cup which for the most part makes up Irish patriotisaa, and he had - found, when he began to analyse the ingredients, that it was producing a momentary exhilaration and—madness. He was too honest not to work on such conviction ; he was too able and energetic not to make his work tell ; and he was too true an Irishman even for the Fenians to be able to sneer away what he said as the words of a traitor, or of the English oppressor. The demagogues in New York, who earn a handsome living by the conge nial mode of conspiracy, could find in the removal of Mr. M'GEE an object worth plotting for ; and it appears that the only Fenian bullet that ever reached the right mark was in the case of the Cana dian statesman. It must have been an extraordinary circumstance, and to the servant folio wing his master home, a lucky accident, that he was not shot instead. Wherever Fenians have been brought to the bar, Fenian informers have always appeared in the witness-box. The tone assumed by the condemned is uniformly the same, and we freely confess, little as we like their acts, that there is in their bearing a certain degree of nobility. Three points have invariably been made—the degradation and oppression of their country, the purity of their patriotism, and their willingness to die, if the gift of their lives can in auy way save Ireland. They have assume 1 the tone of martyrs sacrificed by bloodthirsty oppressors, and while they have consigned the traitorous brethren who have given evidence against them to a life of ignominy, to be the outcasts of society, the object of the raised finger of hatred and scorn, they have declared that they would firmly meet their fate on the gallows, forgiving all who had been instrumental in bringing them to an untimely end. To listen, is to suppose that you are in the presence of a WALLACE or a TELL, and it shows to what extent false teaching and error may delude. The first question is what are the injuries of which these men complain ? There is an inveterate belief abroad that the laws framed for Ireland differ from the laws framed for England, which is often naively shown; as, for instance, when some English and Scotch were brought before a French Prefect for lighting in Paris. " Leonid understand," said the nrigis trate, Englishmen and Irishmen fighting, but not English and Scotch, who live under the same laws, and have therefore nothing to fight about." What the Irish conspire for is to live under different lawp, not the same, that being the object for which the English strive. England has no other aim than to obliterate every trace of difference between the most Irish of the Irish and themselves. The oppres sion, of the Irish is the attempt to elevate them into a perfect equality with the ether portions of the empire. It may be that what suits the Anglo- Saxon does not suit the Celt; but to call the mild and equitable rule under which they live oppres sion is a gross perversion of terms. Now what are the crimes of which these patriots have been convicted ? Generally murder in its worst form, and with it most dangerous objects; to upset society, to disorganize a leading kingdom of the world, and that affording every opportunity for cbtaining by legal means redress for any real grievance. These men use the liberty which the laws of their country gives against that country to stab it in the most vital place, and PUICE.... 4d. STAMPED 53. slander one of the freest of all Governments, even at the foot of the scaffold. Such crimes as the Clerkenwell explosion—the attempt on the life of the Duke of EvisnuttGir--aud the murder of Mr. M'GEE are hateful beyond expression ; yet we have bad BARRETT'S speech, in which he claims the dignity of a martyr, and we will probably have '.V.HELAN and 0 1 FAIsrtEL, if they can sneak, follow j,,g in the same strain. This we regret, for it tends To neutralize the good their (1.-test:Oh crimes ac complish ; diverting the a . tention of th..; ignorant from the real nature of these unprovoked -nutsneres, which otherwise would snake the Fenian cone piracy one of the most hateful organizations that ever warred against society. No words, hoe ever, can undo the deeds of an O'FARREL and of a BARRETT ; the sense of fair play is too de ,ply implanted in mankind to allow of any explanation for the attempted murder of her MAJESTY'S son, and the wholesale slaughter of the poor people of Clerkenweli. The young Prince is the sufferer iu common with these victims ; but the bullet, from the fatal effects of which he so providentially escaped, was a disastrous shot for Fenianism. Its work is to bring forth strong feelings of loyalty even where they lie most dormant. There are thousands who regard with envy the Royal Family, as elevated above the evils which afflict mankind—a delusion . iaatantly dispelled , - by.. _the. incident which in.ak ea. a, man at the outset of his career alm )st pay with his life for being the son of a Queen. Although un aware of the, weary work which falls to the lot of persons so nearly connected with royalty they can appreciate fully the danger, and give their hearty support to those exposed to assassination, because thy are the Princes of their kingdom. News by the Re ssia from Canada in a measure confirms the report that to O'FAttREL fell the lot to assassinate the Prime.; as it is asserted in Canada that evidence has been discovered which proves that the murder of Mr. M‘GEE was planned by 40 Feni ins, that lots were cast as to who should execute the deed, and that the lot fell to WItELAN. Anglo-American Times. POLISH HISTORICAL SOCIETY, THE EASTERN QUESTION. On Saturday last a meeting of the Polish Historical Society, a branch of a similar institution founded in Paris 37 years ago, and presided over by Prince Lathslas Czar toryski, was held at Sussex Chambers, Duke-street, St. James's, at which a deputation from Paris, headed by the Prince, attended. Owing to this circumstance a number of the friends of Poland in this country, among whom were the following—The Marquis Townshend, the Earl of Har rowty, Lord Houghton, Lord Campbell, Sir IL Verney, Bart., M.P., Mr. John Abel Smith, M.P., Mr. Edmond Beales, Mr. Edward Johnstone, Mr. W. Adams Smith, Mr. W. L. Birkbeck, and the Rev. Dr. Worthington honoured the meeting with their presence. Major Saul czewski, Vice-President, occupied the chair, and having given a cursory sketch of the formation and the labours of the Historical Society in Paris, which, in connection with an extensive Polish library, have, by an in imperial decree, been enrolled among the institutions of public utility in France, congratulated his countryman on the honour of the anniversary meeting being this year cele brated in London in the presence of their distinguished President. Prince L. Ceeerrottersxt then addressed the meeting as follows: —Having been deputed by the Polish Historical Society of Paris to represent it before you on the occasion of our memoreble anniversary of the 3d of May, permit me to recall the name of him whose place I have come to take before you, to render homage to the memory of General Count 1. . Zamoyski, au homage due to his noble spirit, and well deserved by his great and numerous ser vices. It is the first occasion on which we meet., since he has departed from us, in the country which has always been among the foremost to advocate the cause of justice, and which will assuredly do nothing to forfeit its old reputation. It seems, unfortunately, impossible for us gentlemen, to meet without speaking of new sorrows and acts of injustice. By a simple ukase, the Russian Gov ra iment has just desGoyatie -laet trace of the stipultfitins made in our favour of the Treaties of Vienna. Doubtless, wo have never been enthusiastic supporters of these treaties. They were conclud ci without Polish co-opera ' tion i and steeliest Polish interests ; and tit!) , were the first t.) rs.cognise and saucion,. under the signature of all Europe, the partition of Poland. We could not re:Ard them as the only title-d seas of our rights, or the only basis of our legitimat e claims. Ton centuries of a glorious existence, and the undeniable evidence of our constant vitality, notwithstanding incessant attempts to destroy us, are titles higher than any diplomatic arrangement. And yet by these treaties of 1815, Europe guaranteed the maintenance of the Polish name and nation, and the signa tary Suites pledged themselves, not only towards us, but especially to one other, to the faithful execution of those stipulations. We Pules loudly protest, without awaiting the protests.of those whose right amid duty it is to do so, against this flagrant violation of a solemn contract; this insolent defiance by Russia of the - Powers, and this supreme attack on our amiciout rights, being certain of a hearing from all just and generous men, and trusting in theluture. After this last blow which has been dealt to Poland it would seem that our situation has never been more sad or desperate. At home our country is covered with ruins, our countrymen are dispersed or crushed by the inexorable policy of our oppressors, and our institu tions perish and disappear. Abroad, bur enemies triumph and our friends are discouraged. Well, gentletneu, not wi'dastanding this apparently disastrous state of affairs — notwithstanding the painful trials through which we aro passing—l declare (at the same time knowing that I re spond to the feeling of every Pole) that we do not despair; that never have we had less cause to despair. Ripened and instructed by the experience of misfortune, even in the midst of our present dis tsters we can exclaim, " The time is at hand !" ludecd, our cause, which will not and cannot perish, while changing its character, is at this moment acquiring a new importance. The alliance of the three Powers which have partitioned peer country an alliance cemented by crime, and desiguated as " Holy," by a strange irony of fate, and which encompassed u: by a circle of iron— has been broken. It was shaken by the constant policy of one Power, and has finally fallen to pieces under the pressure of the late events in Germany. Austria, understanding at last the mistakes of her past policy, has renounced all solidarity with her old accom plices, and turns towards us. Henceforward we have but two enemies -two oppressors—and we have become accessible to our friends. Austria, reconciled to us and the West., opens of her own initiative a breach in the impregnable forte ess which conflued us, and already we feel the beneficial influence of a freer atmosphere. While Rusk. burns to destroy the very flitudations of our civi lisation and our national existence, and excites against us the brutal passions and anti-social instincts of her igno rant and barbarous population—while Prussia, consolidat ing and extending her new paver, in the name of the principle of nationalities, violates this strut prin,;Tple iu Poland, and, notwithstanding her present greatness, does not disdain to continue playing the servile and shameful part of au ally of Russian oppression—A.ustria dets us breathe freely in Galicia, and seams sincerely disysed to grant a real autonomy to that province. Galicia has now become our last and only refuge. Iu the whole of the territory of ancient Poland it is the only province where we can speak, write, and act as Poles, but these new us now duties. L i t ill show rights also impose upon that we know how to use wisely the blessings of liberties and national rights when they are restored to us frankly and without aniere-perisee. Hitherto our oppressors have not failed to represent U 3 as ungovernable. Some say that we do not deserve liberty because we abuse it as soon as it is given us, and others that, in desiring the restoration of our country, we only wish for a re-establishment of obso lete privileges and abuses which were formerly common to all the nations of Europa. But, need I add, that it is not only the Governments that oppress us, and their organs, which held this language. The German nation, now so much favoared by success—so near the limit of its desires, so prosperous and so satisfied, whose exis tence and interest we ueitine threaten nor think of threatening—has not yet felt it iu its conscience to be just towards us. Hippy herself, she knows not how to respect our m'sfortunes. Whenever Poland is in questiou the German bolls out hie baud to 1111 Russian. Their his toriens write volume after volume for the purpose of proving the necessity of the partitions of our country, and the impossibility of its restoration ; their speakers and [publicists seldoM fail to :address us with insult and abuse. Their press is the co:npleisaet echo of Russian calumnies, which are accepted as doctrine by their professors, and are taught iu the schools. This intelligent natio n misuses it s people, without intelligence to describe us as a bac , cward political feeling, incapable of condemned self-govertrn? l n )e tr ' seems to take by destiny to servitude an 1 death ; an'i f a t ll hope.

As for us, we have now in Galicia, both the opportunity and the moans for a noble revenge. Let us prove by a wise administration of our affairs that we are perfectly capable of governing ourselves; let us show by our conduct that we aro not without political feeling ; let us establish harmony between all the classes of society, elevate and instruct the masses, and labour ardently to dovelope the material and moral resources of the country; so shall wo triumph over the prejudices of sincere men. As for those who, from dislike for us, at tempt our humiliation, our conduct will silence them. Nor let us forgad that our national life is concentrated iu Ga licia, and that we ought to use the rights and liberties which the Ano.rian Government restores to u: is order to refresh and fortify the na!ional spirit, so as to prep ire it foe a hi , zher awl better fate. That province is the centre round which the other parts of Poland will group them selves. Far frown ooposing the interests of the Austrian monarehy, or exposing- it to danger, or even to weakness we should, on the contrary, become an element of strength to her. All here, gentlemen, we return to the ancient trtlhiuu of our hietory,.and resume oar p)sition as the advanced guard of west ,rn civilisatloa. Our cause is ttow no 1) IJOr si,np!y it qnsstioa of pure sympathy an 1 setri ment, a question abstract right and justice, as people have hitherto regarded it. It has boco ne a question .of general interest for civilised Europe, a question of practi cal necessity and political utility. It has ceased to be a sort of island in the midst of other questions—isolated, ex clusively Polish, and attached to no other. We aro no longer alone in this world ; we have natural allies ; our interests are band up with other interests which aro threatened by the same enemies; we enter like a link into a political system which must be defended and maintained. It is beginning to be pretty generally understood, in con sequence of the events of 186 G, that the intimate union which has subsisted for a century between Prussia and - litg:s.l.7",lnorpoww , absorbing GernAny, and the latter attracting the Slavonians, is a menace and a danger for the rest of Europe. People aro beginning to see that, in order to dissolve this fatal union, in order to separate for ever these two powers, it is necessary to dis join them territorially, and place between them an inter mediate state—either a powerful empire which would re unite in a single group the nations between the Vistula and the Adriatic, or two States firmly united to each other, one on the Vistula, and the other on the Danube. But the danger which comes from Russia is more immediate than the distant consequences of the fatal union of that Power ;with Prussia. The unexpected revelation of a Russian propaganda among the Slavonians of Austria and Turkey, the Pauslavist manifestations of the ethno graphical congress at Moscow, have suddenly exposed to the West the aggressive designs of Russia. We have long been aware of them, and anxiously followed their alarm ing progress. But people would not believe us ; we were charged with exaggeratipn, and laughed at as a politica Cassandras. Emboldened by success, Russia no longer conceals her idea of a Slavonic centralised agglomeration, uniting in a docile mass more than a hundred millions of people under a single hand—that of an absolute despot, A light has also fallen on the tendencies of the "young Russian party," which urges the Government to expand the empire abrcad, and on its hostility to all Western civilisation. In presence of these threatening symp toms, it is beginning to be understood that the main tenance and consolidation of a powerful empire on the Danube is a political necessity of the first importacce for Europe, and for the civilisation of the West. It is not surprising • that in these circumstances the Poles, recon ciled with Austria, and secured by her in the free develop ment of their natural life, should find it their duty and wish to maintain that empire sincerely, and by all the means in their power. In seeing them so useful to her common interests, Europe will be necessarily led to con sider in the. restoration of their country the indispensable complement of the preservation of Austria, and the most efficacious guarantee against Russian invasion. In order to accomplish this high and eminently European task the Poles ought frankly to assist their natural allies ; they ought to unite intimately with the nation on which hence forward must chiefly rest the fortunes of the great Eastern Empire. Hungary, that illustrious and noble nation, has been conquered and has suffered like ourselves, but it has risen again greater than ever, and seems called to a high position iu that part of Europa. She has had a past as glorious as ours, and an historical mission similar to ours. She has had to fight the same enemies and to de fend the same interests as ourselves, and her fate has more than once been bound up with that of our country. A natural and instinctive sympathy always attracted, and sti.l attracts, one of these nations to the other. Though different iu origin they are singularly alike in character, in customs, in social organisation, and in their ancient in stitutions. Both have baen from time to time immemorial tviinytted with an ardent love for liberty—that liberty which Christianity has given us -a noble and just liberty, that Crlili.;l4` ocit.4y and elevates the individual—that liberty of which we may say that we are the representatives, ancL in some sort, the incarnation ; for it is for her that we fight and suffer.. United in the past, and mixing, barely tw,nty years ago their hloo3 on the same battle tiolds, the Hungarians and the Poles aro now again united by fir, s tMe interests, throatene 1 by the same dan g..ers, and env.,lopp tin the sun hostility of their common adversaries. The it,issians and their frionds always unite those two nartrs in their att tolci all invectives. It seems that Provilence now calla upn thou two nations to re- Rune their former mission, again to become the bulwarks of Europe and western civilisation against Russia. It is on this basis, a-A for this cause—that of a common means of defence against Russia —that we should offer our alli ance to the llungarians, and come to an intimate under standing with them. But this union neither can nor ought to be unconditional ; on the contrary, it should be made on precise and well-defined terms. We should frankly lay down our conditions, for we cannot forget that we are Slavonians, and that wo have duties to perform to the peoples who are our brothers. The Russians do not cease to disparage us as enemies of the Slavonians, as traitors to thsir cause, as Judasas in the midst of the groat Slavo nic family, but we can affirm that we aro their true and disinterested friends. We have the right to say so, for we wish for their real prosperity, and we aro the implacable adversaries of theirabsorption ; we alone among the Si•t vonians know what Russia is, aad what destiny awaits those who trust in her promises. Like the siren of ancient fable, she seduces then; by her honeyed words, and hid ing her snares, attracts only to destroy. Taking advan tap of their pilitical inexperience, their impitionce, and their animosities, she urges them to that unhappy sys _ _ _ tern of political abstinence, of absolut•3 negation and of extravagant d 3rnAnds, which impedes tho work of the consolidation of Austria; flattering their ambition and their solf-lovo, sho prorn!sl3 thorn a Cz 301 kingdom, a Sorvi in king loin, a Balgtrian kinsd An, and cajoles thorn with droami of a futura gr,3at los, which they aro to fiord iu their uuion with t!►e nqrtUra Oolossu3. Sho wishes to parsnad► th3m that they belong to a now and distinct world, batter and greater than that of the West; that they are together with herself, the representatives of a new civilisation ; that under her direction they aro called upon to regenerate Europe, which is now in her dotage. She . . tempts them by brilliant prospects of universal dominion, which, she says, will be theirs if they will accept her as their guide. Oar duty, as Poles, is to withdraw by all the tneans at our cam•ua,nd the Slavoaians from the snares which surround thain, to tear thaw fro n tho arms of Rai- sla, pres:rve them for the civilisation of the West. We should etvlaavour to reclueila them with the empire who metnbors they are, an . 1 to induce them to abandon tho barren policy of abiteation. should undertake tai i t Lek of mAiating between them and the linagarians, and of reuniting them to the civilisation of the West. But in order to do this, and to fulfil the duties imposed upon 11,3 by such an uudertiking, it h necessary that we should raise on high the flag of provincial and national autonomy. Without asking for political concessions, which might in- jure the unity, integrity, or strength of the empire, we should firmly insist, bath on our own b3half and on that of the other Slavonians, on a frank and extensive admi nistrative autonomy, comprising all that is indispensable for the freo dovdlopment of national life. What we desire for ourselves in Galicia we loudly and resolutely demand for the Czechs, Croats, and Set. vians. We do not doubt that the Hungarians will find these condi tions perfectly natural and acc)ptable. We believe them to be sincere in their promises to the Sl tvonians. They do not possess the absorbing and denationalising spirit of the Germans, that minuteness of mind which descends to details, penetrates everywhere, and attaches itself to lan gtt education, and petty local matters in order to Ger manise and occupy everything. The Hungarians aro more liberal and generous in their conduct ; they will know how to give frankly and without arriere-pensie, and will not think of withdrawing by degrees what they have given . We can therefore 1101.1 out our bands to them without scruple, and without fear of being wanting in our duty to our Slavoniau brothers. We can and ought to join them, in view of the struggle which may any day commence. In this surugglo we shall have to Mend, not only the political interests and the mateAal security of Europe, but its soci.<l anil moral order; we shall have to defend. that liberty which elevates the dignity of man against tho levelling spirit of Russia. We are coLli lent of v i c t o ry, but if we fall, wa shall do s , ) honourably and gloriously; and then Itassia would no longer find nay obstacles in her path. Austria destroyed, the victors woul.t soon encamp on the shores of the Adriatic and at the foot of the Alps. Here, gentleman, I must stop. Far be it from mo to give another thought to such a disaster. tha c ntrary, as I told you when I began, our faith and our confideule are unshaken ; and if hitherto Gud has sent us terrible trial; which have only braced and strengthened us, it is because He has called us to a great and noble mis sion, upon the completion of which we shall find our re- Subsequently the mooting was addressed by the Eng lish friends present, who all paid a high tribute to the memory of the late General Count Zlmoyski; and after a vote of thanks to the Prince ancl the chairman, separated CONTRICT FOR HAIR FELT.
