The tpp! ll 9 ll n r i;' ) 11 :r . the prosecutor, by the name of Kingsley, carried d on the •, 3 d as a baker at Ilitcbin, in Hertfordshire, an 0 pl y trit,of March last ho was under a contract to sup- Perf;;B:tlichin Union with bread. The contract was is 4u "et+ I na peculiar way. .The union authorities the ?El tickets to the pauper,;, which on presentation at I"4striase of the contractor were exchanged for bread. a tick e s t insta nce, a pauper, named Mary Day, presented i ou . too qnartern loaf, and selecting a particular Me queateci the baker to weigh it, The baker, however, r,fuseel to do so, on the ground that it was a crusty loaf, .r.ed, thereupon the pauper carrie the bread to aor ighbenring baker's, where it was weighed, and found to be two or three ounces deficient. The contractor was then summontd bef re the magi,. tratcii, and, under the 7th section of the liaker.' Act, he was convict , d in the penalty of 51., for refusing to weigh his bread when requested to do so by the purchaser. Against this decicioc the contractor appealed, and, at the quarter I. , ions, he contended that the magistratt. , s had no jurisdiction in the matter, inasmuch moth. , ith 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 tessions, however, ruled dlf,rentlY. They held that the words in the Act—" every such baker shall be liable to the penalty of .51."—applied to all bakers, and they con firmed the decision of the magistrates. Now that was sub,t'lntisily the question to be argued in this cave. The appellant contended that the :Action was only applicable to bakers selling from a cart, otherwise ever y baker, when he sent home bread in a bask , t , would he cora relit,/ to provide his man wit's a pair of scales to meet the demands of troublesome cooks, who wished to have the br , ad weighed. The 6.11 area 7.11 of William IV. was FUS M d for the purpose of extending the City of Louden Act, the 3d of Gco IV., chsp. 106, to the en tire country. nnd that Act, although it provided that every halter thould exhibit and furnish his shop with weights and scales, it made no provision for fining him in the event of his refusing the re qut at of a cue, tomer to weigh the bread he was selling. Mr. Justice PArrE_ON observed that that was a strange omission. Mr. l'AuNELL4aid it really was so, for the only pe nalty which the City ef London Act inflicted upon a baker who kept a chop 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. Application granted.

The result, as far tinting the uing experiment wi th ut in intermission o w n as to satisfactory, the m light most brilliant con • brilliant rays for several hours. This is considered a great advance in electric lighting, as in former experiments the spark has been intermittent and flickering. It was stated that the expense of lights of this class woukt be less than the expeLat of gas, even at the reduced rate, and that in the event of the invention being brought into general use, its expense would be greatly diminished. The brilliancy was of extreme in tfiaaity. Guy FAR=ES DAT AT RICEIMOND.--ReCellt events in the Romish Church have caused a hand-bill, beaded "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 ! which should never be forgot." The subscription to this demonstration is not only general, but embraces some of the first names in Richmond. Similar demonstrations are likely to be ver:7 general throughout the country. INAUGURATION DINNER OF THE LORD MAYOR ELEctr.—On Saturday Alderman Musgrove, the Lord Mayor elect, gave a splendid banquet at the Albion Tavern, upon the cccasion 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. Staple, to spare no expense. The table presented a sumptuous utter of the City doings of 1851. Amongst the company wore Aldermen Wilson, Gibbs, and Hooper, the Recorihr, Alder. men William Hunter, Sidney, Moon, Finnis, Lawrence, Al derman and Sheriff Carden anti Sheriff Hodgkin , on, Ryland and Mr. Locke, common pleaders; Mr. Potter, tho Secondary; the Comptroller, the Remembiancer, Undt r- Sheriffs Law and Ellis; Mr. Bailey, the chairman of thi.

Duncan, M.A., late Fellow of NeW College, ha:; munificently given another subscription of 5001., in addition to his former subscription of the same amount, towards this excellent object, which is calculated to improve , both th.: health and moral condition of the humbler classes of this city. The Dean and Chapter of Christ Church have also subscribed 200/., on condition that the entire sum which is required for the purpose be raised or promised before the last day of the present year. Mr. Duncan's second subscriptio; , is given under a condition that the work shall be commenced early in the ensuing spring. The amount subscribed is nearly °Au, Another 1,0001., it is estimated, will be required to carry out this benevolent design. CHELTENHAM.—A SCARF MADE BY HAND FROM HOME-GROWN SILK.—The wife of a clergyman in Chelten ham intends to exhibit a lady's silk scarf made from silk the produce of silkworms kept in an open building in an ad• joining county. The lady gives the following interesting account of its manufacture:—" having resided for about three years in a village in Herefordshire, the garden of which possessed a remarkably fine mulberry tree, 1 wished to give my family an idea of the habit s an d natural h i story o f th e silkworm, and the method by which silk is pro duced. With this view I procured a quantity of e ggs ear l y in the spring of 1847, which were hatched about M ay, an d I placed th.e w orms, 2,000 or rather more in number, in an outhouse in the garden. There they were attended and fed by TflYsel , and some of the juvenile members of my family, and in d uo time they spun : nod much wishing to t u rn the produce o f their industry to some use, I directed my attention towards tusking the scarf which I have the pleasure to lay befort. you. The silk was wound from the cocoons by and myself on a winding machine, and afterwards I wove it i nto i ts present form. It has consequently never been in the bands of any manufacturer, and presents the same colour add and quality as when taken from the cocoon. I may d that the outhouse in which the worms lived bad no windows my daughter to protect them from the weather, which was unusuattyirk 9 berry tree able obstacle to the cultivation of silk. The 1 for the season of the year as I think this point ntlynstupteisr-- [ trate the fact that our English climate presentsmnu was of the common kind. Mr. Martin's appointment to a " c on! . j trigesh; was announced to the bar by the Lord Chancel lor on Sa tin , day; but as there are certain reasons for his not takin g hi seat on the bench by the sid e o f his f a t l b l e r i e •- d i n n e - s la da w ) ,. ISaisrt l:'. Pollock, it is probable that he may be transfe rred to an other court. On Saturday suspicion of arson, was again brought before the borough magistrates of Gravesend. Additional evidence of a some what criminatory 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. 11., examined the shop and all the apartments of the house itn; mediately after the fire, and came t o the conclusion that the stock, furniture, and fixtures were a lto g ether not worth 100/. The chairman (Mr. Oakes) having announced that the bench r ss iet is or nsow proved had made up their minds to com mit the prisoner for trial, Mr. Southgate, who appeared for h im, said he would re serve his defence. Mr. Southgate added that he found his clien t's memory so defective, and, in the language of one of th e wit nesses, his mental faculties so mac h impaired, that h e h a d considerable difficulty in comp rehending his instructions. The prisoner was then committed to Maidstone to ta ke his trial at the next assizes. THE sel wish Sil us r liAitP of this ves to be unfounded, the Ilarpley h avin g been spoken wi th , and i to state th E a r t . h--erT reported ort p ed ro l p o 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 aggresstons, 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, hut by petitions and addresses from the laity. We understantl that several of th e metropo litan parishes are already in motion. EXTENSIVF, ROBBERY OF MONEY SECURITIES AT LEEDS.—On Thursday evening the Masons, A rm. he, St ~. James's-street, Leeds, was e ntered during the hours of bus! , . ness, and a large quantity of property stolen. The house had a good deal of company in, and while the landlord and his family were engaged in attending to their eustOMew some thieves got through a window at the back of the housfi, broke open the door o r the landlord's bedro om , which had' been locked, and stole therefrom a cashbox, containing 30.., principally in gold and silver ; securities to the value of 1801. ; a number of waterworks share certificates ; a cheque upon Beckett's Bank for 501. ; a :quantity of silver plate, consisting of tea and saltspoons; and a quantity of u;d coins and crooked sixpences.

THE DJ AR QuIS AND MARCHIONESS OF ELY.—A letter from Milan states that the Marquis and Marchioness had a narrow escape on the 20th ult. While crossing the Alps, by St. Gothard, and when within a few yards of Aivolo, the horses took fright, and the postilion lost all command over them. At the time they were but a few inches from the precipice, when their courier, Vincent, seeing their danger, leaped from the box, and in an instant arrested the horses. The danger was averted, but Vincent bad an ankle dislo cated, and was carried to an au Lige, were he remained some days; but Lord and Lady Ely were enabled to proceed to Milan on the following morning, en route to Florence.

Oa Saturday evening Mr. Macre ady performed what many pertonr, consider his greatest Shitlt:Teri:in part, that of King Lear, to a hcuse crowded to suffocation. Ile lacks not one jot of his original vigour, ho 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 tf his strength, is a puzzle ; such, however, is his will, and notwithstanding ho never performed King Lear so well in his life as be did on Saturday, ho 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 tine and manly piece of acting. Mr. Davenport is the best actor of juvenile tragedy that has appeared since the palmy days of Charles Kemblc. The house was crowded to suffocation, and the performances were applauded to the echo. PRINCESS'S THEATRE. The Merchant of Venice was pert ormed here on Sa turday with Mr. Charles Kea❑ us 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 du 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 sce❑e with Tubal was perfect. The Portia of Mrs. Charles Kean has been 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 addr.raed, to Shylock and not to the audi ence. Mr. King, of the Theatre Royal Edinburgh, made his first appearance on the metropolitan boards in the character of Bassanio. He 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 draniatique. Miss Mary Keeley was Jessica, and sang Bi:hup's air, "Should he npbroid," 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 Ilighness Prince Albert walked this morning in the Slopes.

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 tio,nce. An expedition up the Klamath and Umpqua rivers had resulted in the discovery of rich gold From the wines our accounts are conflicting, mines, although of an encouraging character.

The Pennyalvania Abolition Convention had held a meeting, at which Frederick Douglass and other coloured persons were expected to speak, but, hearing that persons claiming them as fugitive slaves were in pursuit, they had to decamp. The papers are filled with details of suits at law for the recovery of fugitive slaves. Dispatches had been received at Washington from the Commander of the American Arctic Expedition ; the dispatches are dated off Port Leopold, August 22. On the 19th they fell in with ;he vessels under the charge of Captain Penny, and of the 21st with the Felix, Sir J. Ross. :From Kingston, Jamaica, we have advices to the 13th ult. Six deaths from cholera had occurred at Port Royal and one at Kingston. In reference to Mexican affairs, the Tribune says, that before the close of the extra session of Congress a great reduction would be made in the tariff, and that prohibitions on various articles would be abolished. By the advices from Port-au-Prince we learn that there was every proba bility of a war of extermination between the Hay tians and Dominicans. It was reported at Panama that a revolution, headed by General Flores, was about to be attempted against the republic of Grenada. We learn from Cincinnati that on the 21st ult. an officer from Glasgow, Scotland, arrested a person who some short time since absconded from one of the Glas gow banks ; 1,400 dollars were recovered, and he was discharged from custody.

A performance of organ music was given on Friday evenillg last, at the establishment of Messrs. Gray and Davison, in the New-road, by Mr. W. T. 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 achieve ments as an organist have not only excited the admi ration of the multitude of musical amateurs who abound is that cart 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 been built by Messrs. Gray and Davison, for the Centenary Chapel of Boston, in Lincolnshire. It embraces three manuals, from CC 8 feet to F in alt—the pedal organ, two oc 'aves 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 manals, the other fur the pedal organ ; and four composition pedals fOrchanging the stops; also the new and effective :::forzando pedal. The sides, as well as the front of the Case,,contain speaking-pipes ; and the dimensions of the'instrument are, twenty-six faet high, twenty-three feet wide, and eighteen feet deep. There are forty-pine stops, and two thousand four hundred and ninety pipes. Upon this gigantic musical machine Mr. Best, single-handed and unaided by any assistant, performed some of the most difficult productions of Bach, Hoepner, Krebs, Hesse, Alberchtsberger, Minsk, Julius Andre, Handel, Mendelssohn, and Eberlin, introducing in the "Adagio," by Hoepner, the corno di bassetto stop ; in the " Tema," by Hesse, the keraulo phon ; in Mendelssohn's Sonata, the contra fa zotto : in the "Al le g retto Pastorale," the contra fagotto and flageolet; and posaune a n d grau d pedal posaune, in Hesse 's Variations on " God save the Queen." The entire performance was a diffi cult one. irom beginning to end, yet it was eccom wished i n a most nilsterly style ; and while it proved Mr. Best tone a p.rfect master of his divine art, it afforded no :els delight and enjoyment to his enrap ture i Ifstetien,, whtmc continued bursts of applause seemed to Imow no bounds. Satira should not be like a saw, but a swore]: it t bould cut, not mangle.— Eliza Cook's Journal. FIRE AT BERINIONDsEIr.—Iti , t, night (Sunday) a fire broke out in the premises belonging to Mr. Cecil Beck, a surgeon, c irrving on business at No. 12. Courthorp-terrace, Bermondsey hew-road. The flames originated in the back 'surgery, owing to the breakage of a bottle filled with spirits of wine. The flames were eventually extinguished, but not before the whole of Mr. Beck's valuable stock in trade was . destroyed, and the premises seriously burned. Fortunately no one was in the upper part of the buildin when the fire commenced; if there had been, owing to th e density of the smoke, great difficulty would have been experienced in making an escape. Mr. Beck was insured in the rhcenix Fire-office. PARIS IN MARCH, 1850. (CONTINUED.) The French seem bent ou public speaking at home and maintaining conquests abroad—both of which, says history, are unattainable. As to foreign conquest, Walpole, who had the means through Mme. du Deffand of understanding 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 moit unpardonable offence to fathers, husbands, brothers, and lovers. This and their petulant o-cer 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 he bad ever beard of them. Racine makes the Sultan Orosmane say— Non, Louis contre moi ne tournera les armes. Les Ft-arc sis sont las:6 de chercher c'Cormsis Des ciimats quo pour cux le dentin n'a pas 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 ques!s were but transitory. So much for foreign dominion. With regard to public speaking, the Abre 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 misericordc of the assemblie 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 representants. 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; ne made-up systems octroyes 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 I asset! Aux voix !" (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 subject at least : still more for l'ordre du four 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 motive by a ride in the Bois de Bologne. Every instant the President rings a large bell I.—the members and President all address each other by same, which 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 to the bewildered gentleman in the chair, Couvrez vous ; put on your Hat, in sign of distress, pour comble de malheur I 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 mein-drama in tableaux, or a series of scenes connected bat 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 of terror would be liked. This heroine was descended from Corneille, greatest of Frenchmen. Another drama called M'onck drew out whatever leaning there might be to a Restoration a r Anglaise of the Count de Chambord. Till very lately, a notion prevailed that Louis Napo leon was acting the role 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'Enghien— a frightful coup d etat, which, however, has been al ways misstated, and math no impression in France till the Bourbons returned twenty years after, when it became a coeval rle battaille for courtiers. In the old Revolution, after going through all the forms they could desire against Louis XVI., they ended by saving that no one could reign innocently (that is, no Frenchman). Luckily our President is Corsico-Tuscan, 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 conic 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 émigré priest and noble, Talleyrand, Abbe &eyes, Monk. Fouche (who always retained the appearance of a monk), and Bishop Talleyrand ! 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-1 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. Imroota labescunt; Sed qne perpetuo suns agitate, manent. None of the French demagog ues 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 themsel ves as a " station a malheur," and make no secret about it. Mourons —mourir—mourir pour la patrie—Symptomes dune ambition rentrie. Racine bad no intention of raising a laugh when he said : Mourons. cher o.min, moi come un Vizir, toi, Comme le tavouri d'un homme tel que 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 les revloutions, on fait —this and that ; speaking with the " superh . - chit decision" peculiar to France and always In generalibus. A "few drop s of Eldonine"—a little patientia dubitandi, would do them a power of good. The war of the Fronde durin g the minorit y of Louis XIV. could only have taken place here. Napoleon had bis necessities, and was modified by them. You cannot deny him the instinct of sove• reignty, the innate desire to do good, the strong di vinity of soul , th e decided and irresistible vocation to glory : still, he 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 would be an object i of eclat n the eyes of posterity. Besides (oh, Na poleon it would put one•half of England in mourniug for the other, which convinces ma be never meant it unless by way of diversion. The extreme vanity of the French, and their appa rent contempt of death, which Rochefoucault, draw ing his characters from the Fronde, decided was nol real, assimilates then to heathen Greeks and RODISIDS. Nil potest qui mori non potest. Napoleon had less of this feeling. " Why should he play the Roman fool, and die ?" Nowhere out of France cou l d such egotism and vanity as that of Cicero and Uncle Plin y be found. For which reason the painters, as Coypel, Poussm, Lebrun, and especially David , show an affinity to the ancients which is not all affectation. The lamenese of Talleyrand, like that of Scott, Byron, and Sir W. Gell ► not only confined him to the library, but also gave him a stimulus to escape ridicule. Sensibility would be a good portercss, if the 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 THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sra,—ltelying on your well-known sympathy for Poland, I venture to send you an abstract of a speech which Lord Dudley Stuart, President of the Literary Association of the Friends of Poland, delivered in presence of the Polish Ball 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 proors of sympathy and kindness received at their hands, his Lordship proceeded to state that .since the last meeting of this committee one part of the press had assailed the object and the promoters of the pre sent undertaking. He felt, it, therefore, his duty to repeat what he had formerly said, that it was not to encourage vice or to promote idleness that these funds were so laboriously 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 be to foreigners. The Poles, 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 couv , :m labourers on railways. Others, more for tx.ite, have fou❑d situations either as teachers or as 'commercial clerks, usually at very low salaries. 'lbw, most 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 hay ing met with serious accidents on the railways—as it has been the case with one :cot long ago, who bid se veral trucks passed over his legs, which received such severe injuries that the man cannot do anything—are left with numerous families, without sutticie❑t 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 most 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 reigners in Distress does not, I believe, relieve, accord ing to its rules, political refugees. Some time since I took an active part in a bazaar 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 political refugees then doomed 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 of 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 'rho 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 Switzer land. A body of those men, in May last, presented themselves at the Nansion-house, in a state bordering on starvation, to solicit means of employment or relief from the sitting magistrate, but their re quest could not be cosoplied with. The funds of the Polish Association were nearly exhausted, and had it not been for the ad received from several of their less untOrtunate countrymen abroad, they should have perished in the streets of London. Army if these men were enabled to proceed to New York, in search of a leas miserable lot. It also raid, why do not the Poles return to their own country ? ho puts this question must be either very ignorant, or his object is to treat the unfortunate with derision. The 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, some time ago, to send back to his own country, the poor idiot, a native of Galicia, whose case I mentioned to you, by making an application to the Austrian Minister, but I met with a peremptory refusal. As to Russia, the thing is out of the question ! every ret ugee who wo uld 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, that the Times and other newspapers should visit upon the unfortus, nate refugees themselves, as if it were their own act— a state of misery and destitution—which is only the act of the foreign governments who have partitioned Poland. They feel no indignation for the oppressors, at least they express none ; but they lavish every epithet cf reproach or contumely against men, against whom the only charge they could bring is that they have fought and bled for their country. Is it the cause of liberty that they are thus hating in secret ? 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 suffer those expatriated children to die of want. His Lordship then handed i n a long list of patron esses and patrons of the present entertainment, and also the names of several distinguished artistes, who have offered their gratuitous services on the occasion, and assured the committee 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. SZULCZEWSKI, Secretary. Literary Association of the Friends of Poland, Sussex Chambers, St. James's, Nov. 1, 1650.
