The question of Poland comes on to-night for discussion in the House of Commons. We are glad of this, for though we are by no means sanguine that any steps will be taken during the present Session to ameliorate the condition of that most aggrieved country, still we feel con• vinced that a bold declaration of opinion in the British Senate, will have the two-fold effect of inspiriting the Poles and depressing the energies of NICHOLAS. An intelligent correspondent, whose letter on " Poland" will be found in another column, challenges a diversion in her fa • your on the score of self-interest, because " in point of commercial advantage, it is more our interest to be on terms of amity with Poland than with R ussia." We grant the cogency of this argument, it is striking and universally unintelligible ; still we would prefer putting the question on higher vantage ground. We would claim the independence of Poland on the score of humanity—of civiliza tion—of intellect. So long as the countrymen of Sobieski are held in a state of vassalage by the barbarian Kalmucks and Cossacks of the North, it is a perfect farce to talk of the march of mind, the liberal spirit of the age, and 80 forth. What is gained to freedom in one part of Europe, is lost to it in another, and the intellect of the South is more than counterbalanced by the excessive barbarism of the North. A day, we know, is coming when the powers of light shall conquer those of dark ness ; but it is a sorry consolation to those brave Poles who are now wasting away by inches in t he dungeons of St. Petersburgh, or breaking their hearts in the wastes of Siberia, to know that this day is yet in futuro. They have a right to look to the spirit of the age for instant, not Prospective, emancipation, for it was a noble reliance on that spirit which first induced the m to unfurl the banner of independence. They appealed to the generous mind of Europe, but their appeal, instead of being answered as they had every right to suppose it would have been, was met by confiscation, torture, and pro tracted servitude. The revolutionary Government of France, and the Reform Government of England, both lifted to power and popularity by the same spirit that hurled Poland on Russia, both declared against her ; for this is one of those few cases in which neutrality is fully as de cisive a line of conduct as a show of hostility itself. For England there may be some (though not much) excuse, but for France there is none. She, or rather her merchant KING, has sold Po land, literally for thirty talents. The child, the champion of the Paris barricades, has turned his back—the degraded traitor—on his brethren ofthe Warsaw barricades. The royal puppet who owes his all to revolution, discourages the same spirit when it rears its head in any other country than France. He countenances it when he can turn it to ac count—when he can make it a matter of profit ; but has no notion of encouraging it, when h onour is the sole reward to be acquired. And 1 ° this bas e , pl e b e i an sp i r i t on t h e part of a Ct i zen KING, P o l an d i s now sacrificed. Because Louts turdPnE loves th e c hi n k o f go ld, t h ousan d s of P the nobl es t sp i r i ts of Europe are condemned to hopeless exile. And yet this is the man who professes to have the interests of humanity at heart I Shame on such cant Jrussels and German Papers, received this morning, state that the Dutch will not evacuate the citadel of Antwerp, and, what is more, that the Courts of Russia, Prussia, and Austri a w ill not cooperate in forcing King W ILLIAM, nor allow the French to insist on hi s doing so by f orce ! What, then, becom es o f all the fraudu lent protocols on the subject ?

A letter from the Hague of the 23d of June says, that ;` tho ug h the contents of the last protocols are not pub known, it is still reported that the proposals of the 'onference are such that H o ll and cannot assent to I th ern. It is also said, that on some points there will great obstacles on both sides.

" P. S. The Cabinet Council, at which the Prince or Orange was present, has decided that our Governmen cannot accept the last proposals of the Conference. There is a report that the States-General will he convoked." (From Le Courtier Beige.) BRUSSELS, JUNE 26.—W e are able to announce posi tively that the King has not the intention to marry before the evacuation of the citadel of Antwerp. THE EVACUATION OF THE CITADEL OF ANTWERP. We have already given our opinion on the degree of confidence, which it seem+ to us that the country may place in the last promises of the London Conference. We have ❑ow a few words to sac on the efficaciousness of this measure, which may be resolved iron at the Foreign-office to insure the execution of these promises. We believe that we may assert, that in the diplomatic meetings which discussed the coercive measures proposed by Prince Talleyrand and Lord Palmerston, the Plenipo_ tentiaries of Prussia, Russia, and Austria, expressed them selves on this subject in a manner so formal and explicit, that no doubt can be entertained that their Courts have firmly resolved--Ist. Not to make their troops cooperate in any ca.e in the executio❑ of such a design ; and 2dly, Not to allow France to send an army to Holland to compel King William to sign the twenty four articles ; so that, supposing that the Northern Courts are really sincere in the promises which they makeus (a very gratuitous suppo sition), it is nevertheless certain, that the sending of a British squadron to the coast of Holland is the only act of armed intervention to which it is possible to make them consent. Now experience hes taught us that there is no reason to hope that such a demonstration will suffice to overcome the obstinacy of William—and if he thinks fit to resist England, as he did in November last, we have the follow ing ultimatum,—Either the English fleet will content it self with keeping the port. and coasts of Holland in a state of blockade, and then this act of hostility will have two great inconveniences: the first will be to excite against the Ministry that proposes such a measure all the English merchants, whose great intercourse with Hol land would be greatly affected, and all whose ships in the Dutch ports King William will not fail to have seiz-d ; the second will be to ruin the reviving commerce of Antwerp ; for there can he no doubt that if the English blockade the mouth of the Scheldt, the Dutch will imme diately hinder our ships from coming down the river ; or else the English fleet will endeavour to force the passage into the Scheldt, and then such an enterprise would re quire, as in 1809, at the time of the expedition under Lord Cochrane, the cooperation of a land force to take pos session of Flushing, I3uskwas, and all tke forts which de fend the banks of the river, an army, the formation of which would require sacrifices which the English Parlia ment would probably not sanction, and, after all, there would he a chance that the English fleet might not suc ceed. Our conclusion, therefore, is, that ice ought to manage our business ourselves. THE CHOLERA AT BRUSSELS, Etc. .—. After the lapse of nearly a week without any new cases, a woman was sud denly attacked on the 23d, and taken to the hospital, but it is now said she has not the cholera. On the 25th, in the evening, three persons from one house in the street Seauerhuk were brought to the hospital, supposed to have the cholera. A case supposed to be cholera occurred at Antwerp on the 24th in a workman returning from Ghent. GHENT. Deaths. New Cases.

We are compelled, by a press of matter, to leave over the Court Circular till to-morrow. We refer to another part of The Sun for news from Paris. It is now understood that Prince TALLEYRAND has'positively declined taking office either as President of the Council, or as Miaister in any subordinate department. This bodes no good to LOUIS-PHILIPPE. The convention between his MAJESTY and the Emperor of RUSSIA, respectitig the Russo- Dutch Loan, has been laid before Parliament and printed. As it must receive the consent of Parliament before it is carried into effect, we sincerely trust that the House of Com ' mons will never sanction it, unless Russia consent to a full and immediate recog nition of Polish independence in word and deed. It is an insult to the people of this country to be called on to pay money to a power like Russia, which never loses an opportunity of sacrificing British interests to her inordinate ambition. Witness even her present shuffling conduct with respect to Belgium, at the mo ment she is asking for English money to sup port the obstinacy of that political Juggler, the King of HOLLAND, who has acted throughout as a deceitful tool in her hands! Really we think Lord PALMERSTON ought to have some respect for British feeling if he evinces so little for the honour of a British Minister. The thing is worse than too bad The Scotch Reform Bill passed the House of Commons last night. A very spirited debate took place on the motion of Mr. TRAIL (the Hon. Member for Orkney) that Orkney and Shetland should have each a representative in Parliament. The LORD ADVOCATE opposed the motion in a speech befitting the puppet which has generally enjoyed the title of Lord Advocate—but how unworthy of FRANCIS JEFFREY ! He confessed that the case of Shet land was one of great hardship—he allowed that it was separated from Orkney by7a tempestuous ocean. He did not deny that the inhabitants of _ the two districts were aliens and strangers to each other,—and had no more inter course, or acquaintance, than if they had been separated by half the globe. He did not deny that they had been for generations past two distinct counties for every practical pur pose, but he found it convenient to drop the Reformer and play the special pleader on this occasion. He attempted to throw dust in the eyes of Honourable Members, by showing at great length, and by a very clumsy process, that by an old musty Act of Parlia ment passed in 1669, in the blessed reign of un restricted liberty, these two clusters of islands were erected into a Stewartry—a Stewartry they were, and a Stewartry they must remain. That was a name so sacred —so hallowed that no consideration on earth could induce him to change it ; the very idea of such an innovation made his hair stand on end. The Shetlanders, h e sa id , were at best only a parcel of fishermen, hardy navigators to be sure, but nothing more ; that they inhabited a region of sterility, upon which Providence had laid its hand ! and had no claim, either i❑ point of we a l t h or population, to a separate Member, espe cially as none of the large counties in Scot land had got two Members (meaning Selkirk, no doubt). Nothing but hardy navigators ! This is a speech from the mouthpiece of an Adminis tration that talks about ships, colonies, and commerce ;" we cannot help thinking that the 30,000 hardy navigators of Shet land are fully as valuable to the nation as the 6,000 "souters" of Selkirk, and the Ina ority of our readers will, we doubt not, be of the same opinion. The day has been when hardy navigators were thought of some im portance and that day may come again. Why had not the large counties got more than one Member —why ? because the Learned Lord re fused to give them more, and because he refused to give two to some, he makes tha a reason for refusing one to a county whicl cannot possibly be united to any other dis. trict. This is the new doctrine of con sistency. The Learned Lord quoted the island of Lewis as an instence of similar hard ship with that of Shetland. He forgot, how. ever, to state that the people of Lewis are in constant communication and intercourse with the people of Ross—that the cannot communicate with the other parts of Scotland without passing through Ross-shire—whereas an Indian Bramin on the banks of the Thames is not a more unusual spectacle than a Shetlander in Kirkwall, or an Orkneyman in Lerwick. Sir GEORGE MURRAY gave a most complete answer to the Learned Lords's laboured speech, which he justly pronounced a signal failure. He per sisted in calling Shetland a county, to which title it had as good a claim as any county in Scotland, and he said that so strong did he consi der its claim to a separate representative, that if the Honourable Mover would shape his motion so as to avoid taking a representative from the burghs or counties, he would support him. Mr. HUME approved of the motion, but advised the Honourable Mover not to press it to a division.—(His support, no his advice, was wanted on this occasion.) Several other Members spoke in favour of the mo tion, which was eventually withdrawn. During:the discussion Lord ALTuoilp sat as still as a mouse. When the Learned Lord said that the hand of Providence had disqualified the Shetlanders for participating in the rights of freemen, we thought we perceived a tinge suffuse his honest countenance ; he seemed to think there was a far heavier hand than that of Providence on those devoted islanders,—namely, the hand of the LORD ADVOCATE of Scotland. The obnoxious qualification clause was alto• gether withdrawn—both for burghs and counties, SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAY, FROM LLOYD'S DEAL, JUNE 27.—Wind E.N.E.—.Five, r.at.•—His Majesty's ship Talavera is proceeding to Sheerness; and his Majesty's ship Donegal remains.

By the French mail this morning we have the fol lowing report at Paris of the arrangement of the new Mini‘ters M. Dupin, (eldest) Keeper of the Seals; President of the Council, M. Barthe ; Minister of Public Instruction, M. Thiers ; Minister of Commerce and Public Works, M. Argout ; Minister of Finance, M. Girod. MM. Soult, Regny, Sebastiani, and Montalivet, keep their portfeuilles. The following is stated to be a note written by Louis- Philippe to King Leopold, (but not credited):--" All is finished, Sire, the treaty of the 15th Nov., is going to be executed, and I have the assurance of the three Northern Power, should Guillaume persist to refuse to negotiate— to acknowledge you, my army is ready to march and serve you as a rear-guard, and the English fleet will protect you. You have informed me that the intentions of the King of Prussia are very pacific towards you, and I have received recently a letter from his Prussian Majesty of the most friendly description." THE FUNDS. The Everette from Paris brings the Rentes 30 cents. lower than yesterday's account,-68 francs, it is sup posed to be owing to some difficulty in forming the new Ministry, as well as the state of affairs in Belgium, and in consequence of whicn our Funds are rather heavy this morning. Consols, which left off yesterday at 841, buyers for the account, opened at 84i e, at which price they are at present, with scarce a bargain doing. Up to the present time we still continue without in formation from Don Pedro's expedition, which is anxiously Nought after. In the Foreign Market there is nothing of the leant interest going forward. HALF-PAST ONE. We are exceedingly dull in the City, both in regard to political news and transactions in the Funds ; the only report we hear is, that the expedition of Don Pedro was not to sail until the 26th inst. but we cannot place much confidence in this statement at present. Consols have been during the whole of the morning at 84 for the ac count, with little or no spirit in the market. The Foreign Market is also void of any interest, and most of the foreign prices are much the same as yesterday. THREE O' CL O CS. Console for account S 4 " The Private Correspondence of a Woman of Fashion," and " The Highland Smugglers," by the Author of " The Kuzzilbash," are published this day by Messrs.

COURT OF CHANCERY. -(THIS DAY.) The LORD CHANCemom resumed his sittings in Lincoln's Inn-hall, being the fist seal after Term. MOTIONS. The Court heard motions. - Sir EDWARD SUGD'EN, on finding great difficulty in proceeding to move, in conse. quence of the absence of other Counsel, took the opportu nity of stating, that as he might just as well he at home, he should go back to the Vice-Chancellor's Court to hold briefs in motions. He hnd given up holding motion briefs there for the convenience of the Court and the Bar—he was the only one whs had done so ; this was the way he had been rewarded—h e could submit to it no longer. ROLL'S COURT.-(THIS DAY.) JU DG MENT.-WILLIMOTT V. OGILVY. His Honour the MasTER, of the ROLLS gave judgment thi s morning in this case. In the year 1816 an Act of Parliament passed for establishing a fund for the benefit of the widows, children, and nominees of officers and other persons in the department of the Customs ; that fund was to be formed by a poundage on the salaries of the persons who adopted the system, and by subscriptions in the naturf. of premiums of insurance. The defendant, Mr. Ogilvy. was appointed secretary to that fund, and it occurred to him that the fund would derive considerable advantage if they were to become the purchasers of a patent office, held for the benefit of the family of Mr. Frankland Lewis, called the Clerk of the Bills of Entries in the Customs, which gave to the party holding it a a right to inspect all the documents relating to the Cous toms, and thereof to publish information extremely use ful to the mercantile world. Mr. Ogilvy considered that the extension of that information might be very much increased, and the office made much more profitable. A negotiation was set on foot with the Patentee by the Directors of the fund under the direction of Mr. Oglivy and Mr. Hume, which terminated in liberty being given to the directors of the fund to publish the bill of entry not only during the existence of the present patent but suc ceeding ones ; 20001. being to he paid to the patentee. This arrangement being made, and Mr. Ogilvy undertak ing the printing, it was agreed that he should have half the profits. Some time afterwards it occuring to Mr. Oelivy that the hills of entry could be printed with much more accuracy and expedition in a private than in a pub lic office, Mr. Ogilvy gave notice to the then printers of the hills of entry, Messrs. Robra and Venables, to discon• tinue the printing at the end of three months. The di rectors of the fund were acquainted with this re striction on the part of Mr. Ogilvy, and agreed that he should have the same profit in respect of the printing, as Messrs. Robra and Venables bad had, such charges had been made by Mr. Ogilvy, and allowed by the Directors in his accounts. In June, 1818, a formal in strument was executed between the parties to carry the agreement into effect. The question was, whether Mr. Ogilvy was to he called on to account for the profits he had derived in his office of printer. His Honour thought that Mr. Ogilvy was clearly entitled to all the profits he had derived from any printing connected with the joint concern. The bill sought to set aside several deeds and minutes. The Court must declare that Mr. Ogilvy should ac count from Ist February, 1822, for the profit derived to the concern from the publication of the bills of entry. With respect to costs, the Court would not give them on either side. COMMON PLEAS.-(THIS DAY.) CHARLES DAVIS, EXECUTOR OF CHARLES DAVIR, V. THE EXECUTORS OF TDE DUKE or YORK. This was an action brought to recover 5,3501. upon a bond given by the late Duke of York to the deceased Charles Davis, on the 21st January, 1801, to which the defendants pleaded, first, The want of proof that the bond was that of the late Duke ; secondly, That if it was the bond, it was given for money won by gambling; thirdly, That the amount was partly due upon gambling transac tions, and that the document was given for money won by betting. The Jury, after hearing evidence, returned a verdict for be plaintiff. KING'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY.) THE KING V. EDWARD JOHN HOWARD. Mr. CAMPBELL (with whom Was Mr. PLATT) stated the case for the prosecution. It was an indictment against the defendant, who was an attorney of this Court, for wilful and corrupt perjury. The prosecutor, Captain Garth, was a most unfortunate young man, whose mis fortunes had arisen chiefly from the bad advice he had re ceived, and from falling into those hands from which he had been too late wrested; with one exception, however, he had never been guilty of more than indiscretion, and that exception he had regretted, and would continue to re gret to the last hour of his life. The circumstances of the present case were these :—Mr. Howard became Captain Garth's attornsy in 1826, and was so until October 1830, when Captain Garth changed his attorney. It was al waysllie affairs, and was wholly careless of pecuniary accounts. supposed, and justly so, that this young man neglected changed his attorney, however, he was desirous of ha a settlement with Mr. Howard, for which pur pose he wished to have Mr. Howard's bills of cos t s an d credit liaing vng for the large sums he had paid Mr. Howard. How ever, Mr. Howard for a long time neglected to send in his bills of costs, but at last, to avoid the peril of an attach ment, he delivered Captain Garth his bills, making the balance due to himself about 4,0001. ; a Judge's order was obtained for taxing those bills, and ascertaining the true statement of the account; in the course of taxation it appeared that Mr. Howard had received 800/., for which he had not credited Captain Garth, and the result of taxa tion was, that instead of Captain Garth owing Mr. Howard a balance, Mr. Howard had been over paid 510/. 17s. 7d., besides which, Mr. Howard had to pay the costs of taxation, amounting to 171/. 10s. In the course of taxation, Mr. Howard claimed credit for 1,906/. 14s. 7P. on a warrant of attorney, dated Jan. 30, 1827. The circumstances attending this warrant of at torney were these : in January, 1529, Mr. Howard went down to General Garth's seat in Dorsetshire, where Capt. Garth was, and presenting a warrant of attorney, re quested him to sign it, in order to save his (Captain G.'s) property, particularly his house at Melton Mowbray, which would otherwise be seized by a creditor, who had got an execution against him ; believing it to be a friendly proceeding, and the only way of saving his property, Capt. Garth signed the warrant of attorney, but on the 31st of January, Mr. Howard himself issued an execution under that instrument upon Captain Garth's property. In consequence of this proceeding, General Garth paid the sheriff 1,600/, of which the sheriff paid Mr. Howard 1,3001. Now it would be proved that there had been no bills of costs delivered and no settlement made or balance struck prior to the date of this warrant of attorney, although it was sworn in one of the defendant's affidavits against the rule obtained by Captain Garth that some settlement had taken place. The assignments of perjury were upon what the defendant had sworn in his two affidavits. The first was that it was not true as sworn by the defendant, that be bad delivered any bills of costs before the date of the Warrant of attorney ; secondly, that the defendant, in swearing that on the 19th of February, 1827, he bad received, on Captain Garth's account, only 1781., had sworn falsely, for it would be proved that he received from Cox and Greenwood 278/., which was for the express purpose of paying Counsel's fees, defend ing the suit of Sir Jacob Astley v. Garth ; thirdly, that the defendant, on the 28th of December, received, on account of Capt. Garth, from Messrs. Jenner, of Doctors' Commons (by order of Lady Astley), 400/., the receipt of which the defendant denied. Those were the short facts of the case, the whole of which the Learned Counsel said he would most fully prove. He then proceeded to call the following witnesses : Previous to the reading of the affidavits, all the wit nesses on both sides (except Sir Herbert Taylor, who sat on the Bench) were ordered out of Court. The affidavits and rule of Court were then read. Mr. Whitelock, solicitor for the prosecution, who produced the affidavits, and identified the signatures, was cross-examined by Sir JAMES SCARLETT. Was first in troduced to Captain Garth iu 1830 ; had been berme that concerned in an action at the instance of Mr. Stephens, against Captain Garth for a debt of 270/. ; but that money was never paid. Witness did not sue out execu tion in consequence of Mr. Howard's representation to him. After the af f idavits had been sworn, on which the charge of perjury was founded, witness offered Mr. Howard 1,0001, on the part of Captain Garth, if he (Mr. Howard) would give him up all documents and papers belonging to the captain, but no bills of costs had then been delivered. Among those documents was a box of papers which Mr. Howard had been served with a notice from certain suitors in Chan cery, not to part with. That box of papers was the subject of disputation between Captain G. and Mr. Howard, and occasioned the change from Mr. Howard to witness. Witness did not know of his own knowledge that Captain Garth had taken any means to procure those papers from Mr. Howard's hands. Sir JAMES SOARLETT--Mere they original papers cr copies ? Mr. CAMPBELL submitted that those questions were ir relevant to this inquiry. He was very anxious that no names of persons, of any rank in life, should be brought forward. Sir JAIIB9 ScAsaArr did not know what the Learned Counsel meant by rank in life. He pledged himself tia •he questions were of deep concern. Witness in continuation, said that he bad no authorit3 'rom Captain Garth to make the offer of 1,000/. Cap. 'Lain Garth wished to get the box. Since this indiettnett had been found, witness had exhibited the defendant as a witness for Captain Garth in the Court of Chancery. Lady Agley was examined as a witness before the Grand Jury upon this indictment. Mr. Goodrick, Assistant Master of this Court, Ira* called by Mr. CAmrBELL. He taxed the defendant's bills of cogs, and defendant attended once or twice. (I'he bills and cash account were produced.) Under date of February 17, 1827, he found 1781. as having been paid 11r. Howard, and there was a question whether it should ❑ot be 2781. Witness investigated it, and found 2781. ought to have been credited. Under date of 28th D(c. 1827, he found no credit given for 4001. received by de fendant from Messrs. Jenner, on Captain Garth's account, tnd, upon inquiry, he found that defendant had received that sum. Cross-examined by Sir J. SCAILLETT-With regard tr the 1001. witness might have believed it was a mere cle rical error. There were several items relating to the war- rant of attorney, some of which he allowed. Captain Garth objected to any charge respecting the warrant of attorney. Witness thought the objection was, tbat it was all done for Mr. Howard's benefit. By Mr. CAMPBELL-The taxation lasted for several months. He found a balance due to Howard of 4681. 188. 6d. on the warrant of attorney, instead of t,9061. ; but upon the whole transaction he found 510/. due to Captain Garth. Captain Garth sworn—l am the prosecutor of this in dictment. I preferred the indictment by the advice of Counsel. I first became acquainted with the defendant about January, 1826, and I employed him as my solicitor until October, 1830. In January, 1829, I was at my father's (General Garth), at Piddletown, in Dorsetshire. The defendant came there to me on other business, but after some time he said there was an execution out against me,hy which my horses would be seized at Melton Mowbray. I said it would not do to have my horses seized, and asked who had sued out the execution. He said, a man named Bonnet. I said I would step into the library and get the money of General Garth, but he said, " No, don't, for Bonnet is a great rascal." I said, " Although he was a rascal, it would not do to have my horses seized." He asked me if I had a friend who would put in a friendly execution for me ; I said I had not, for 1 was then at the General's house under peculiar circumstances. He then said, " What do you think of me? I have always been your friend, and confidential adviser." I said "certainly," and he pulled out a warrant of atttorney (now produced) ; it was ready prepared and I believe filled up when he produced it. He asked me to get a witness, and I pro duced my butler. It was never read over to me, nor did I read it. I executed it in order that my horses should not be seized. Before that time the defendant had never delivered me any bills of costs nor had we ever come to a settlement of accounts, nor had any balance of 1,906/. been found to be due. I have since seen the bills before the Master for taxation, and they were the first bills the defendant's I ever saw. I had a credit at Messrs Greenwood and Cox's frorn General Gartk, ,nd drew checks on them in favour of the defendant. I gave the defendant the order for 278/. dated February 17, 1827, for the pur pose of paying fees to Counsel in an action then pending against me; the ind orsemen t to the order is in th e de- fendant's hand-writing (the order was read). Lady Astley was at that time living with me; she had an al lowance which was paid by the Messrs. Jenners, her proc. tors, in Doctors Commons. She from time to time ad vanced me money to pay the defendant ; I know from the defendant that he has received money from Messrs. Jen ner, which was lent by Lady Astley to rue. In November 1827, he told me he had got 4001. from Messrs. Jenraer. Cross-examined by Sir JAMES SCARLETT-Captain Chambers introduced defendant to me for a specific pur pose. I wanted some money, and I became very intimate with the defendant and dined with him occasionally. I slept in his house in Saekville-street for a month. The hills of costs are not in the defendant's hand-writing, nor are his affidavits. The latter were written by Mr Thomp. son, the defendant's clerk. A short time after I had signed the warrant of attorney I left Piddletown and went to Salisbury, thence to Southampton, and came to K. n nington. I was then very much indebted to different people and some of them were in pursuit of me. I have not been largely in debt ever since I have been in the army ; I have been in difficulties since 1828. I was greavy in debt when I signed the warrant of attorney. I cannot say how much I owed then, I don't think it was as much as 18,0001. The hills were all sent to the defendant, and there was a reason why they were then collected. I have never said I owed 18,000/. then, (a paper handed up.) That is my writing. Alter the defendant left me in Dor setshire I sent a letter and parcel to him, but I cannot recollect what was in it. I desired Mr. Howard's brother to go down to Melton Mowbray about the execution. The defendant's representation was, that unless hi. brother went down directly the other execution would be there first. I had a box at the defendant's in which I depo sited papers. Sir J. SCARLETT—Has Lady Astley left you ? Captain Garth (evidently affected)_fly Lord, am I bound to answer the question ? His LORDSHIP said he did not know that it was irre levant. Witness—l bear of her occasionally. Sir J. SCARLETT—Has she left you? Is she no longer under your protection? Witness.—We are widely separated. She has ceased to live with me, because I have now been a year and nine months in the King's Bench for debt. I have seen her twice during that period. She was a witness before the Grand Jury at the desire of my solicitor. I did not as sist in resisting the suit for a divorce brought by Sir Jacob Astley against Lady Astley. Mr. Howard, my attorney, was also her common law adviser then, and employ e d by herself. I believe that her bill and mine are mixed up together. Sir J. SCARLIETT—On your oath, did you not lend her your aid and assistance in resisting that suit ? Witness—l did not. She went to Messrs. Jenners herself. I did all I could to a!low the divorce to take place, and to prevent the suit being defended. Sir JAMES SCARLETT.TheII the lady would not marry you. Witness—(with astonishment)—My Lord, am I bound to answer that question ? Six Jams SCAILIATT...—It is for the purpose of trying your credit. His Lordship thought that all ;natters respecting Lady Astley's and the witness's bills of costs were matters to be inquired into, but not respecting Lady Astley's choosing or not choosing to marry him. Witness-1 swear I was anxious for the divorce, and I attribute every thing to Mr. Howard. The defence to the action in the Cowmen Pleas, in February, 1827, was against my wish ; notwithstanding I continued Mr. Howard as my attorney until 1830. We had a quarrel about it, for I had reason to believe Mr. Howard was playing me some trick. I offered Mr. Howard money to give up certain papers which he had received notice from certain suitors in Chancery not to give up. After he refused them, I once supped with him, and staid until two o'clock in the morning. I did not attempt to take the papers away. I did not know where they were ; I would have got them if I could. I swear I was never discovered with a candle seeking for them. I was never locked out of the defendant's chambers. I always went to them the back way on account of my difficulties. Upon my oath this indict ment is not brought for the purpose of getting the papers, because I have got them. We have got the box which was broken open by Mr. Howard, and two others. I brought the indictment for the mere love of public justice. Mr. Howard had introduced his brothers to me, and I employed them to make copies of the papers—the originals I was then going to give up. I was not very urgent in having them copied. (A letter produced.) That is my letter, and on looking at it, it certainly does appear that I was eager to have them copied. [The witness's cross-examination was proceeding when our reporter left. The case will probably last the whole day.] WESTMINSTER SESSIONS-(THIS DAY.) These Sessions commenced this morning, at the Ses sions'-house, Westminster, before FRANCIS Com; Esq. chairman, and a bench of Magistrates. Several urchins were convicted of picking pockets, and were sentenced to various terms of imprisonment and hard labour. CHOLERA MORBUS, OFFICIAL REPORT. CENTRAL BOARD OF HEALTH.

Parliament is expected to rise the first week in August ; but the dissolution, under the new order of things, cannot take place before the beginning of Nc vember....Xorning Post. POLAND. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN: SlR—Although the British Government has , been prevented from taking any active part its behalf of Poland, from the peculiar difficulties, 'loth domestic and foreign, by which it has been embarrassed, it is creditable to the British nation that it has uniformly sympathized with that coun try. Every friend, not only of humanity, but of the best interests of England, must rejoice to find that a society has been established, the ob ject of which is to advocate the cause of that ' heroic but unfortunate country, and to keep up the public interest in its favour. In point of commercial advantages, it is more our interest to be on terms of amity with Poland than with Russia. We might carry on a trade with Poland in all those articles in which we traffic with Russia, and in many others. Poland can maintain a traffic in timber, hemp, and tallow ; and contains great quantities of ex cellent iron and more so of zinc. It abounds in all varieties of grain, in honey, and wax. But to carry on such a traffic the Duchy of Warsaw must be enlarged, so as to embrace Courland, which was once a fief of the Polish crown, and Samogitia. Without this outlet and the sea -port of Polangen there could be no prospect of any commercial intercourse between Poland and this country. Language would not be sufficient to describe the barbarous atrocities practised on this un happy people. The Universities of Warsaw and Wilna are abolished—the literary treasures, the large library of the University, consisting of upwards of 200,000 choice vplumes, are packed up, and about to be sent to Petersburgh, the collections of natural history, medals, pic tures, engravings (for the most part gifts of pri vate individuals) have been seized. The Royal Society, despite its charter, is shut up ; its li brary, collection of antiquities, medals, and na tural history, are seized, and about to be sent to Petersburgh. The following anecdote is too true, and should rouse the indignation of every Briton in whose veins flows a drop of British blood that does not call its owner bastard :—Colonel Lukarinski was a few years ago seized by order of Con stantine, on a plea of premeditated insurrection, but instead of being sent to the usual courts, was tried by special judges nominated by the Duke, yet was he acquitted ! A second court was ap pointed ; he was again acquitted! By a third court he was condemned, was put in irons, sent to the fortress of Zansky, and condemned to hard labour ! He was thence brought back to Warsaw, and examined by a favourite of the Duke, but confessed nothing. He was then se verely flogged ; and when the last insurrection broke out, he was fastened to the carriage of a cannon, and thus dragged to Russia, in the depth of winter. Since that time he has not been heard of ; and is in Siberia, or no more ! One word of advice to the Poles. Waste not your strength in hasty, isolated, partial mea sures; nothing great or glorious was ever thus effected by states or individuals. Act with union, and in concert; and then be assured that Poland will once again become herself, " great, glorious, and free. Your obedient servant, ALPHA. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.
