REGISTRATION OF LETTERS. GENERAL POST OFFICE, DEC. 1840. On and after the 6th January next a system of Registration will be adopted, which will be applicab le to all descri p tions of Letters without distinction, whether they contain coin or arti cles of value or not. The Fee for Registration will be One Shilling, which to gether with the Postage, must be paid in advance. Letters presented for the purpose of 'Registration, beariag a sufficient number of Stamps, will be considered paid tetliers,,` but the Registrition Fee of One Shilling must always be paid rStsiey. the case of Foreign, Colonial, or Ship Letters, it must be clearly understood, that Registration cannot extend beyond the Port of despatch in the United Kingdom, though parties, if they wish it, may register such letters as far as the Port of despatch. Letters, however, addressed to France, and Letters using through France, are exceptions to this rule, the French Post-office undertaking to provide for their security till they shall have been delivered, if addressed to France and so long as they remain in the French Territory, if passing through France. On Letters of the former description, namely, Letters addressed to France, Double the French Rate to the Place of Destination roust be paid in addition to the British Rate and the British Registration Fee ; on Letters passing through France, only the Usual Rates will be taken, in addition to the British Registra tion Fee. As a general rule, no Letter can be received in order to be Registered, unless it shall be brought to the Post-office, half an -}sour before the closing of the Box for the particular Mail, by which it is to be despatched. It may, however, be neces sary to take longer time in some few cases where severe pres sure is apprehended. Small Sums can be remitted through the Post-office, by means of Money Orders, without risk, at the following rates of charge, viz.:—Three Pence for any Sum not exceeding Two Pounds, and Sixpence for any Sum above Two Pounds, and tot exceeding Fire Pounds. With the great convenience thus afforded for transmitting small Sums at so low a charge, and the power now given of registering Letters containing value, it is hoped the Public will to longer forward Letters of value, except in one or other of these mkhods. If however persons are willing to incur such a risk, should the articles forwarded be Notes, or Cheques payable at sight, they should be cut in halves, and the second halves should not be despatehed until the receipt of the first has been acknowledged. The numbers, dates, and amounts, should' also be carefully taken. By Command, W. L. MAIIERLY, Secretary. _ ANK-O-F•ENGtAND, DECEMBER 10, 1840.

THE MEDICINAL EFFECTS of STEEL, as a strengthener and restorative, have been known for tee to excel those of all other articles of the Materia Aledica, &nd in this age of luxury and dissipation, when the indiscretions 'bf youth disappoint the expectation o f maturity, it is net to be wondered that p a medicine of such efficacy as SEDDON'S genuine AROMATIC LOZENGES of SIEEL should have attracted the attention of the first medical men in Europe. When the most important functions of life are suspended, and tose who are invalids by inheritance or imprualence are reduced the most deplorable state of nervous debility, it is not in ‘"'Vair that relief is to be found. It has been ascertained, be )nd a doubt that these circumstances are occasioned by a ge tirral or partial relaxation or weaknesses in either sex ; and it equally certain that SEDDON'S LOZENGES arc the best, if mot the only remedy ever diseovered for this species of de bil "ity. When taken into the stomach they immeshately diffuse th, tanselves like a vapour through evory pore, producing effects 4t once delightful, salutary, and permanent. 'When the spark , 21 Pile begins to grow dim, the clicu!ation, languid, and the face g ties paralysed, these Lozenges are found to ive tone to the nerves, exhilirate the animal spirits, invigorate the body, and re-animate the whole man. \Vhen aversion to exercise, 1 0 . , sr depravity of appetite, and pallid countenance, indicate app .

FEAVER'S INFALLIBLE EI\IBROCA TION for GOUT, RHEUMATISM, RHEUMA TIC GoUT, DOULEROUX, LUMBAGO, SCIA TICA„ RHEUMATIC FEVER, QUINSEY, See., is now I °4' the, first time introduced to the notice of the public ; al though in the present age of imposture it is difficult to put for ward a. truth, however important, that shall not be liable to be eunfour ided with the daily empirical puffs that are obtruded on the put lic eye. This consideration has for a long time deterred t he pre ,prietor of Fearer 's Embrocation from advertisinir it. Feeling !, however, a thorough conviction of the incalculable be nefits it w ill confer on mankind, he conscientiously believes t hat, by withholding it longer, he would be wanting in the corn ilsou lee lirw's of humanity towards his fellow-crereatuhesre:3, and of duty t ow 'arils himself. He, therefore, no longitates to adopt th is mode of making this wonderful remedy generally Know n , hat the afflicted may have an opportunity of enjoying t he biessrxigs it Offers them. This specific was revealed to the proprietor's father twelve years ago, who then cured him self of a eery obstinate case of inflammatory gout of thirty Years' f leading, and although on that occasion he ha(' been confine dto his boil-room for two months, he was enabled to walk t i en m iles within six hours a f ter the application. Since t hat ?e riod thousands, from the noble to the peasant, have been tured t it. In short, it is no exaggeration to assert that it has never 1 ,eon 1-..aown to fad in offectinff a cure, where the oroprie t°t% i nstruetauns have been attended to. Its extraordinary efficaey has been for years tested by several medical gentlemen of disitinguishei eminence, who declare it to be he greatest , e-o - rely every made in medical science. The siperiority it l'"gr Fses over every other remedy consists in its bring an in noxious vegetable e omp , ound, in the perfect security with vgitiell it emi y be used (ou twardly) by the most afflicted an d timid, patient, and in the certainty of its being a S , 3utitl, safe, awl radium; exterminator of the above-named maladies in all their terrifi le and ag,•nizing forms.

The Work which is now presented to the public is the result of very extended experience in a class of diseases and affec tions, which for some unaccountable reason have laeen either altogether overlooked, or treated with apathy, and almost in difference, by the 0: dinary practitioner. To enter into the details of these affections, to point out their causes, and to mark the terrific consequences, social, moral, and physical, which are sure to follow from indulgence, in certain habits, would be entirely out of place in an advertisement. We have no hesitation, however, in saying that there is no member of society, by whom the book will not be found interesting, whe ther we consider such person to hold the relation of a PA RENT, a PRECEPTOR, or a CLERGYMAN. The PARENT, who beholds his beloved child pining away, and fast approaching to a premature grave, in consequence of some disease, which for want of a careful investigation of its real cause, has been set down to the score of consumption, will, on perusing this work be astonished to find that in nine tenths of the eases of young persons of both sexes, who perish of what is called pulmonary consumption, li,art disease, tabes, &c., the sole and exclusive origin has been the indulgence in certain destructive habits, practised by youth much more fre quently than is at all suspected. The PRECEPTOR, also, who holds temporarily, at least the relation and responsibility of a parent, will, by perusing this work, be directed, and very much assisted in investigating and detecting the too often concealed practices so often introduced intn schools, whereby the health and ultimately the lives of his pupils are sure to be compromised, unless the evil be checked in proper time. He will here find a clue to guide him through the intricate mazes of this moral labyrinth, and a standard whereby to judge, when delicacy of health should appear to attt . ck any of his young charges, what the real cause of such aVack may be, and thus he will be enabled to check the evil in its incipient state. in whose sacred character, is at once concentrated the twofold relation of parent and instructor, will residence, s u iFive, The e(site. tenodi I,t L ht, ERGY A t I h A e hers be directed as to the nature of those habits, to which ll youth is addicted ; he will also be enabled to point outt he disastrous consequences which are sure to follow from them, if not relinquished. Messrs. CURTIS and CO. are to be consulted daily at their Frith-street, Soho, from Ten till 'three, and N E ' vening ; and Country Patients are re innte as possible in the detail of their cases, e ibi d eho u tas. r a i7n t; on of the complaint, the symptoms, age, ge neral habits of living, and occupation in life of the party ; the communication must be accompanied by the " usual Consulta tion Fee of 11.," without which no notice whatever can be taken of their application ; and in all cases, the most inviolable secrecy may be relied on.

THE attentive observer, who is mindful of the duties of life, and sincerely desirous that all persons shall, in the most creditable manner, acquit themselves of their various obligations, perceives with regret that considerable numbers are pursuing a course which, if persevered in, must inevitably cause their destruction. The deplorable effects re sulting from the bad example which prevails, should excite our utmost vigilance to guard against its baneful influence ; as, when a pestilence rages, we naturally seek preservations to avoid the contagion, we should be at least equally solicitous in our present state, having the most cogent motives to animate our exertions. It is presumed none can be ignorant of the statements frequently made by Mr. FARRELL in the columns of this Paper, which he deemed to be his duty to publish, as, in order to protect the rights of the people at large, it is neces sary to attend to each individual ease, and, as the facts men tioned by him are incontrovertible, he shall now refer to cur rent rumours of some kind of proceedings having been taken respecting him, and he positively asserts that nothing of the kind has occurred, to his knowledge, nor has any members of the law profession received any instructions from him to act in his behalf. If anything of this sort has happened, he conceives that all the parties concerned arc guilty of high treason, in presuming to interfere in the subject's just rights. He should not have noticed these reports, but the innumerable proofs of malice which he has experienced snakes that seem probable which otherwise be would conceive to be incredible.

DINNER OF THE FRIENDS OF at about - o'clock, a great i t t s w a e g re o, attracted to the Pont du Carrousel few • I by the exclamations of a man who said his companion had fallen into the Seine. He called out, " Edward ! Ed ward !" and presently a voice was heard to reply, " I am here." " Thank God !" said th e man , 6, h e i s not drowned, and may yet be saved ; but how ? we have no boat. If we had but a rope !" No rope being at hand, t he man suggested that a communication might be made with his drowning friend by means of t handkerchiefs, and taking his pocket-handkerchief and his cravat, he tied t h e m together. The idea was adopted by the crowd, and in a minute or two, more than thirty handkerchiefs were lent to him for the purpose. Having tied them all together, and with a key at the end, to give th em weight, the man threw the line of handkerchiefs in the direction from which the voice came; it was seized, and all who were present were waiting with anxiety to see the d rown i ng man d raw n t o wards the quaY, when the person to whom the handker chiefs had been intrusted dropped that which be held. " What a misfortune," said he ; but " Edward has, I hope, succe eded in reaching this quay. „ He then ran off suddenly,, as if to look for his friend. He was soon lost s i g ht of in the dark, and returned no more ; neither did the handkerchiefs, for it a ppears that they were caught by a confederate who was clingin,; to the bridge, and who took case to get off at the same time.—G a li gna ni's Mes senger. . . The Mayo Constitution mentions a report that Mr. R. Dillon Browne, M. P., and Colonel Charles Fitz gerald had gone out to fight a duel, POLAND. On Wednesday, the 9th inst., several members of the Council of the Literary Association of the Friends of Poland, and those Gentlemen of the city who had interested themselves in getting up the late splendid ball at the Guildhall, dined together at the Loudon Tavern. Deputy PEACOCK, who had acted as Chairman of the Committee of Management on that occasion, took the Chair. The dinner was served up in first-rate style, and the wines, fruits, &c., were of the finest quality. Immediately on the cloth being removed,, The CHAIRMAN proposed the health of the Queen, and the Princess Royal, which was received with all due honours, and drank cnthuaiastically. The health of Prince Albert, and that of the Duchess of Kent, and the other Ladies Patronesses of the ball at Guild hall, were next proposed, and received likewise with all due honours. The CHAIRMAN then said, that it was his agreeable duty to propose the health of one, who was not merely the friend of Poland, but of mankind, and the advo cate of liberal and enlightened institutions all over the world. The toast being one which might well stand on its own merits he should not trouble them with a long preface, but call on them at once to fill a bumper, and drink to the health of his Royal High ness the Duke of Sussex, Patron of the Literary As sociation of the Friends of Poland.—(Loud cheers.) The next toast was one, the CHAIRMAN observed, which might emphatically be called the toast of the evening.—(Hear, hear.) They all guessed what toast he meant. He had the honour, the pleasure to propose to them the health of Lord Dudley Stuart—(Loud cheering)—a nobleman whose exalted virtues would do honour to any station in life. His name had long been identified with the cause of unhappy Poland in this country. They were become almost convertible terms; . aoit : the untiring energy, - the flowing benevolence, that supposied fila:Lorviainp ttitongh_tha thotisand vexations and cross circumstances, which continually thwarted his exertions in the noble cause of charity and freedom, might well be a higher source of pride to him, than his descent from the Royal line of the Stuarts.—(Loud cheer.) He had allied himself with a cause from which neither wealth or fame was to be reaped, beyond the mental riches which the consciousness of virtue ever bestows ; yet he was much mistaken if his Lordship was not one of those who prized the consciousness of hav ing done a good action, far beyond the less solid, but more showy distinctions, that the merely worldly so eagerly covet.( Hear, hear.) His Lordship seemed to act through lifo on the manly principle so well expressed by his countryman Burns— " A king may make a belted knight, A lord, a duke, and a' that; An honest man's abune his might, A man's a man for a that."—( Loud cheers.) And, gentlemen, Lord Dudley Stuart is an honest man. —(Renewed cheers.) And what higher dignity can earthly monarch give ? for, as Pope says, " An honest man's the noblest work of God !" I fervently hope that his Lordship will at length meet with the re ward is devotion and labours deserve, in the hap piness of seeing his beloved Poland rise from that which is not her tomb, but her cradle—(Hear, hear, hear)—and ag ain assuming her place amongst the nations of the earth . Yet whatever may be the success of your labours (said the Chairman, addressing himself to the Noble Lord); whether Poland is again to be, or whether Providence has in its inscrutable wisdom thought fit to decree a more gloomy destiny to that un fortunate country—whether successful or not, your name shall not perish from the record of those whose good deeds are registered before a higher tribunal than that of mortals ; there, at least, " Sewer honor, no menque tuum, ladesque ruanebunt."—(Loud cheering, which lasted some time, the company all rising, and drinking the toast with most enthusiastic applause.) When silence was at length restored, His LORDHIP rose, and spoke nearly as follows— Gentlemen, you have by your kindness taught me, in deed, that 1 am "poor in speech," for I cannot thank you as I ought—as I could wish—but my heart tells me that I am at least rich in gratitude.—(Hear.) Gen tlemen, I have never come amongst you that I have not been treated with a marked personal kindness. If anything, however, could add to the pleasure of a mo ment like this, it is the knowledge that in me you honour not so much the individual as the cause to which I have devoted myself. Believe me that, in so doing, you pay tie the highest compliment, and confer on me the greatest gratification. Whenever I approach the hospitable mansions of the City, I meet everywhere the moat ample proofs that, though Poland may be forgotten elsewhere, her memory is still warmly cherished in this the greatest and most opulent metro polis in the world.—(Hear, hear.) For years the greater part of my time has been devoted to the one object, the furtherance of the cause of Polish inde pendence, a.ss!.-the,. relief of the wants of her exiled s-te'kiseeePes — rsslsf.'" -ss. s :sss: s :ass, s , ..... ee - - ......s —with eoldisCss, apathy, and indifference, till I have almost fancied that mankind would become finally con tent to bury every nobler feeling, every generous sym pathy, and witness with indifference the good, the patriotic, and the brave enslaved. Such, I confess, have been my thoughts at times in moments of despondency ; but how quickly have these gloomy forebodings vanished before the warmth which I have ever experienced here, and then how have I chid myself for supposing, even for a moment, that Englishmen could forget the cause of freedom !—(Loud cheers.) How often have I been gratified in the City of London by the noble spectacle of men of every party flinging political feelings to the winds, and uniting heart and hand in the exercise of that virtue of true charity, which in generous souls regards not the paltry distinctions of party, sect, or creed, but overleaps such puny barriers in search of wrebahedness and want throughout the world.—(Cheers.) Surely the feeling must be contagious amongst those in whose veins the blood of a Briton flows ; for all here seem animated with the same burning hatred of des potism, and the same desire to see their fellow-men free from the galling, the degrading yoke of foreign oppres sion.—( Hear, bear.) It is this universal desire amongst us to see rational and enlightened freedom substituted for slavery, wherever slavery exists, that has enlisted such general sympathy in the cause of Poland. Fore most, however, amongst the friends of the Polish exile must be reckoned those who form the staple of the wealth, intelligence, and power of the country, the merchants of the city of London.—(Hear, hear.) To them Poland owes much, and she is aware of it. I can assure the City that its generous conduct is at this very moment known through every corner of Poland. Threats of Siberia and the knout are idle, when in tended to stifle human gratitude ; and the Poles are grateful to you. It is their pride to be so, and their present tyrant might as well strive to chain the viewless wind, or bind the winged coursers of the air, as prevent the electric thrill of gratitude from vibrating through a nation's pulse.—(Cheers.) Who can prophecy what benefits may yet accrue to this country, when the po litical horizon changes, from such a feeling existing in a people so well able to give powerful assistance to an ally ?—(Hear, hear, hear.) I am happy to be able to state from my personal knowledge of the refugees in this country, that their conduct, generally speaking, is not merely deserving of the sympathy you bestow on them, but also deserving of it in a very high degree. There are certainly some bad characters amongst them. For where will you find six hundred men ;brown by chance together amongst whom there will not be :ewe bad characters ?—(Hear, hear.) Gen tlemen, till human nature changes, it would be absurd to expect men to be other than they are, and no rule can be more unjust than that inculcated in the lazy and un fair principle of "ex uno disco omnes."—(Loud cries of " Hear.") Yet this is the principle on which num bers have acted towards the Poles, and by which they have confounded the gallant patriot, the exiled noble, the dastard hireling spy of Russia, and the swindler, in one sweeping condemnation. How unfair, how un- Englishlike is such a mode of reasoning ?—( Hear, hear.) But I shall pursue this topic no further. I am sur rounded by those who, thank God, are too high-minded to condemn, by any indolently general assumption, the good and the bad alike.—(Hear, bear.) I have said that the Polish exiles were grateful to you. It is hard for persons situated as they are to evince that gratitude. The best proof they can give of it is in following the course, which I assert they do pursue, namely, in rendering themselves by their mode of life deserving of your favour.--(Hear, hear.) Ah ! Gentlemen, if those who are so ready to lend an ear to tales of calumny, were equally ready to consider the temptations and hardships to which the unfortunate exiles are exposed, most of them unedu cated men, who had served as privates in the revolu tionary army, and others men of rank and fortune, sud denly cast on a strange land, " where poverty is crime," —cast there destitute of everything, without clothes or food, friends or shelter—if they would take all this into c onsideration, they would not be so ready, perhaps, to allow hasty prejudice to warp their better judgment, and might at last learn that in becoming less severe it is possible to become more Christian.—(Loud cheers.) Gentlemen, lam unable—l feel that lam unable to thank you as you deserve. To the hearts of such Bri tons as I see round me, the knowledge of having re lieved want, constitutes the best thanks.—(Hear, hear.) This must repay you ; I know nothing else which can. Those who honoured the Guildhall on the night of our ball with their presence, amidst the gay and glittering groups, the blaze of lights, and dazzling bloom of grace and beauty, saw nought but hilarity and festive splen dour. But I know the toil, the trouble, the weary 1 hours which many of you so cheerfully encountered, in PRICE sd. order that from that splendour you might clothe and feed the suffering and the exile. How, then, can I thank you ? I will tell you, at least, how you have made me feel. You have made me feel, by such gene rous conduct on this and former occasions, that when I leave the saloons of the west, and visit the City, I am then really at home. His Lordship resumed his seat amidst loud cheers, which lasted for several minutes. On silence being restored, The CHAIRMAN said that there remained a toast which might command almost equal respect with that of the health of the Noble Lord who had just sat down —he meant that of his worthy friend on the left, Mr. Thomas Campbell, the father of the Literary Association of the Friends of Poland.—(Cheers.) He had not been content with bestowing on the exiles merely the " Plea sures of Hope"—(Laughter)—but had also for years aided them by his influence, his purse , and his pen. The Noble Lord was, comparatively speaking, but an apprentice of the illustrious Bard, whose presence amongst them that night was a source of such gratifica tion to every friend of Poland.—(Cheers.) The toast having been drunk in a manner that must have deeply gratified the veteran advocate of Poland's rights. Mr. CAMPBELL said that he could find no more suitable return to make to the company for the kind manner in which they had done honour to the toast, than by proposing one which all would feel heartfelt plea sure in drinking. It had been his lot at times, perhaps it had been theirs too, to have witnessed individuals accosted with thanks and compliments, that were doubtfully their due, and which were received by the company with po litness, rather from a love of peace than conviction. — (Laughter.) " The toast I am about to propose is, how ever, not one of this class. I need say only in proof that it is the health of the Civic Authorities of Louden, whose conduct towards us in our efforts to assist the Polish exiles has been prompt, spontaneous, and munifi cent.—(Hear.) Is it as a matter of pecuniary value alone that I estimate our debt of gratitude to those worthy Englishmen ? No. Cousiclarable as that value is, it contributes but a 1111111Wportienorour debt- Theirs was no niggardly aid, extracted from them slowly and reluctantly, like a ringworm dragged forth sore against his will.—(Laughter.) Their names, countenance, and character, are a consolation to unhappy Poland in this the hour of her sufferings, and the kindness shown to his countrymen here by the civic authorities of London, may yet cheer the captive in Siberian dungeons.— (Hear.) He will learn, perhaps, that Britons, ten years after the prostration of his country, have yet a sympathy for her orphans. The fact that the first Ma gistrates of the first city in the world have lent their support in every way to meetings held for the purpose of benefiting the Polish exile, will not merely reach the Siberian captive, but must force itself on the re luctant attection of even the Imperial Autocrat. I beg pardon, gentlemen, the Imperial Knoutocrat.— (Hear, and laughter.) He will be taught two things —lst, That Britons own no party feeling on the sub ject of Poland's wrongs, but join in expressing an indignation common to men of every sect and creed. —(Hear, hear.) 2dly. He will learn that though accident has at present forced us into a temporary alli ance with him against Mehemet Ali, (of whom nothing worse could be said, than that he would make as ex cellent Czar of Russia), he will learn that we have not forgotten his atrocities in Poland ; his robbery of the bank of Warsaw in the character of Imperial swindler, and his tearing the children from their mothers' breasts in the character of Imperial kideapper.— (Hear, hear, and cheers.) Gentlemen, I am delight ed to find myself amongst so many devoted friends of Poland. The cheering recollection of this evening will rouse the eddies of my heart, and make them boil, till in the language of Burns. the floodgates of life shall be shut in eternal rest. To me the the sorrows of Poland arc a subject painful in the extreme, " Crudelis übiquo Lucius ; üb:clue pavor, et plurima mortis imago." . . . (Hear, and cheers.) Surely there is consolation in the companionship of minds congenial to my own. I escape at least from the worse than Siberial solitude, thc.t of thinking alone about Poland.—(Che'rs.) They may tell us that the cause of Poland is lost, and aisk what is the use of seeking to restore a lost caurse ? But, be it remembered, that we are not seeking physically to revive Poland, we only wish to keep alive her orphan children, her memory, and the s.ir red principles to which Poland was a martyr.—( He z.r.) When a martyr dies in any cause, will the friends of that cause suffer his children to die in want or the memory of the martyr and his martyrdom to expire , ? (Cheers.) No ;to be weak is miserable, and we, will never be so miserably weak as to forget the martyielorn of Poland. They may tell us there is no use in pre serving the memory of those martyrs to truth ; but they are mistaken. The history of the world has been effected by keeping up the memory of the greatest war tyr to truth that ever died.—( Hear, hear.) Believe me, my friends, that in this allusion I mean not to draw a strict comparison between a mere earthly cause and _ 14.1- 1..„„ the Czar of Russia, who proclaims himself Gols V - ee gerent upon earth.(Hear, hear.) I only assert that the steadfastness of primitive Christians ought to be a high example for the friends of Poland in firmness and faith. Christianity was no doubt restored and preserved by Providence ; but have we no Providence above our heads ? We have ; and a Providence which will favour us, if we yield not to despair. But did the first Chris tians yield to despair ? No ; though hunted like wild beasts, and forced to assemble in charnel•houses and the vaults of churches, did they despair ? Never ; they persevered in celebrating the great martyrdom, and ultimately triumphed. By the same means, with rever rence be it said, Poland may also ultimately triumph. The hearts of oak of the British merchants are with us, and over our heads is the Providence which implanted in our breasts the spirit of justice and liberty. Can his Imperial Knoutship annihilate that ?—(Hear, hear, and cheers.) Not he, the poor creature !—he cannot annihi late one particle of matter, and still less can he annihilate that spirit of justice which man has inherited from his Creator, any more than he can annihilate God himself. — (The Honourable Gentleman resumed his seat amidst long and loud demonstrations of the most hearty ap plause.) The CHAIRMAN then returned thanks, on behalf of the Civic Authorities, in a long and powerful speech, con cluding by hoping that the time was not far distant when their efforts would no longer be needed. Lord DUDLEY STUART then rose, and having made some very handsome remarks on the assiduity and zeal of Mr. Carr, who had so kindly volunteered to undertake the troublesome and onerous duties of Honorary Secre tary to the Committee of Management of the recent ball at Guildhall, said that he was commissioned by the met abers of the Literary Association of the Friends of Pol and to present him with a piece of plate, on which an appropriate acknowledgment of his valuable services was engraved. His Lordship trusted that, though so trivial in point of value, it would be received by Mr. Carr in the same spirit of kindness with which it was offered.— (Hu ar, hear.) His Lordship then handed to that gentle man; a very handsome and massive silver salver, in the mese of the Literary Association of the Friends of Pol and. ?dr. CARR, in a very feeling speech, returned thanks for the high honour conferred on him, and being con scious. that as yet he had done but little to merit such a distinction, begged to say that he should at all times be ready to render every service in his power to the mime of Poland. The handsome gift he had just re ceivs :d should be cherished as an heir-loom in his family, and, he trusted, would inspire his children with the sarni, sentiments that so nobly animated the hearts of the who had just conferred on him that distinguished m; irk of their esteem.—( Hear, hear.) The CHAIRMAN then said that he felt much plea su re in giving them the toast he was about to propose. It. was one which all present would evidently unite in drinking. It was the health of Mr. Richard Graves Lacdonnell, the respected Honorary Secretary of the Literary Association of the Friends of Poland. (C hears.) To that gentleman they were indebted for ving assembled there that evening, as it was ho who suggested the re-union. He is, indeed, one who is a co nstaot labourer at the work to which we c ontribute o oily occasional and brie f exertions.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. Macdonnell's health having been drank with r vc ry demonstration of app lause, that gentleman re t urned thanks in an impressive speech, from which we is4ret that our limits prevent us making more than a 4 bew extracts. He felt the compliment which they had paid him, the more so from the knowledge that he owed it to the cordiality with which all joined in sentiments of indignation a gainst the oppressor of Poland. Though lot without some zeal himself, he yet felt bound to tacknowledge that he had done but little to advance the cause. The fact was, strange as it might sound, that the selfishness of his Noble Friend opposite had reduced his office of Secretary almost to a sinecure. The Noble Lord was so selfish that lie generally contrived to .engross to himself the lion's share of the trouble and labour, whilst he often left to othet s the reputation of ;having performed what in reality he had himself toiled at. This, however, was the only thing in which he could accuse his Lordship of selfishness.—(Hear, hear, and laughter.) He should now discharge the agree able duty of informing them what was the a mount of a d t o w n r a u t i i n o g ns f o r f om ses t 'e h r e al saleof profit derived from their last ball. Adding together the remaining to the credit of ttickets,hgenerouseindividuals Association aa cat:f alter h e p e r y profits mouenii tt of all expenses, was 6501.—(Hear, hear, and cheers.) He felt it, however, to be his duty, whilst congratu lating himself and the Association on such a timely addition to their funds at the approach of winter, to remind them that even 6 40 /. wo uld not, and cou ld not, last for ever. The Association had on its permanent list between fifty and sixty individuals, who had not hirg placed between them and starvation but what the exertions of the Association could glean from the benevolent.—(Hear, hear.) It was important that they should likewise remember that there were al together in the country nearly six hundred Poles, and that although the gi eat majority of those not on the list of the Association, were on the Governm:nt list, yet that as the sum allowed them to keep body and soul together, was only one guinea per month for the privates, and two guineas fir the cfficers, it weals impossible for them to save anything out of that scanty pittance to provide against the casualties of sickness— to purchase fuel or clothing in winter—or in a word to make any provision against the thousand ills to which flesh is heir.—( Hear, hear). In all such cases they ap plied to the Association for relief, which was thus in fact contributing not merely to the subsistence of those individuals, whose names appeared on their list, but also to the support of more or less of the entire body of Poles in Great Britain.—(Hear. hear.) Waco to this they added the fact of the A sociatioa's conti nually advancing small loans to such of tl:c poor PoL's as had a chance of setting themselves up in business— loans which were in general mos;, honourably repaid-- and when they considered the sums given to such as wished to emigrate, they would not be inclined to think the gentlemen of that Association exorbitant in their demands on the charity of the public, but would rath , r wonder how, with such small means, they had been enabled to accomplish so much.—(Hear, hear.) Tin means by which they had been able to raise upwards of 6001. so opportunely at present, had been such as to afford pleasure even to those who had contributed it. He alluded to the recent ball, and he must certainly say, that if the Association was indebted to the city of London for lending them the Guildhall, the City was, in some measure indebted to the Association for the manner in which the entertainment had been got up, and the company with which the Hall had been filled. It was not every day that Gog and Magog were enabled to look down on such quadrilles as were danced there on that occasion. —(Hear, and laughter.) And he hoped that the fair &.x would use their just privilege of controlling their husbands in the Common Council, and remember on some future occasion, that the loaned of the Literary Association hat. exerted itself in their behalf, and imported for their inspection a few of the lions from the menagerie of the west end.—(Hear, hear, and laughter.) There was also another poin't to which he felt it his duty to advert, although he coeft. fessed he approached the topic with reluctance. He. alluded to a feeling which some had endeavoured to ex oite against the Association in the City, on tho ground that they were a ctuated by a political and aristucratiell bias in the distribution of monies received for a charitable purpose. These charges were grounded on the repre sentations of certain Poles, and ha was happy to have that public opportunity of grappling - with them. Persons who entertained such notions woaild do well to inform themselves prviously of the manner in which the Council really did 'dis tribute those funds, and the mode in whitb that Counsi was constituted. Had they, done thin they would not have brought the charge of r Utica( partiality against a body of men, which was ccmposed of persons holding the most opposite opinions' ' on all matters of political controversy.—( Hear, hear.) This was a point easy to ascertain. The utilises of the members of Council were hung up in public at the Sus sex Chambers, and all who doubted might read the list for themselves.—(Hear, hear.) As for charges of par tiality, the best refutation of them would be found in the minutes of the Association, which he had himself the honour of keeping. There would be found an ample explanation of every vote passed by the Council —of every case decided on—the grounds for E uch de cision—and account of the expenditure ofevcry shilling received by the Assoeiation.—( Hear, hear.) Nothing; could possibly afford him more pleasure than to show those miautes to any gentleman desirous of ins' se ins them, and to give all other explanations which might be demanded. The Association shrank not from such inquisition—it courted it.—(llear, hear.) But the Association had done more. It had placed in the bands of Mr. Pritchard a full and ample history of the conduct of every Pole in the country, who was not at present admitted to their or the Government lists, and the reason for seals exclusion. That paper had been drawn up by Lord Dudley S uart himself, after the most diligent and careful research. To its contents he begged leave to refer all, who still felt Maned to consider the Association partial in its decisions, merely remarking at present that the majority of those so ex eluded were debarred front sharing in the charitable feuds because they had been declared by a Committr e of their own countrymen in London unworthy to par tak!! of their.—( Hear, hear.) Mr. Macdonnell then proceeded to revie,.v the present political prospects of Poland, and to consider how long it was likely that the charitable would still be called on to relieve the exiles wants. On this subject he observed, that so far from the paltry pittance allowed by Government tempting Poles to reside in this country, nearly :250 had volun tarily quitted it in the last two years, whilst it was noto rious that to the destitute private soldier s, who forte, the bulk of the refugees, either Paris or America ball out far more t-!tnptatious as a residence than London. Many were also beginning to do something for thwn selves ; and to their credit be it spoken, that all who could possibly spare even a crust of bread were always willing to share it with their less fortunate brethren in exile.—(Hear, hear.) In conciubiou Mr. 'tined/mod! said, I know that these are rather dry details, but Mr. Campbell, to captivate you with snore eloquent topics ; for myself I felt it due to the Courierl of . which I am a member, and to the office which I hold, to make these statements, as it i.; of consequence t 3 the Poles themselves that the public should he rendered capable of appreciating the manner in which their cha rity is dispensed. I trust, therefore, that such idle charges will be heard of no more ; and I am not surely asking too much, when I request that those who wt . .: happen to hear any such statements advanc e d t o pausl e re they do such discourtesy to a body o f gentlemen,, as to impute to them incorrect motives of action.— (Hear, hear.) It is.truc that those who do not yet know it, should be made aware that the Council of the Literary Association is composed of men who are, many of them, possessed of rank and fortune, and all of the highest respectability ; men who devote no inconsider able portion of their time every week to a noble cha rity ; and ought this to be made to them worse than a thankless office ?—(Mr. Macdonnell then resumed his seat, amidst much cheering.) Several other toasts, among others the health of Mr. Eagleton, who had kindly acted as Treasurer. were proposed, and several excellent speeches made, and the hilarity of the evening protracted to a late hour, when the company separated. THE SWELL_MOB_ ON THEIR TRAVELS. Two notorious members of the swell mob, named Potter and Southey, who have figured at many of the London Police-offices, finding the great metropolis rather dull, and, perhaps, anxious to see a little life in the country, started a short time ago on a provincial tour, and their adventures were rather of a singular character. With gentry of this description, of course " busi ness" was not for a moment lost sight of, and having provided themselves with a quantity of counterfeit money, Potter proceeded to the yard of a stable-keeper in 'renterden-street, Hanover-square, and hired a horse and gig, saying he was going out of town, and might not Le back for three or four days. He and Southey then started off from town ; and their first proceedin, was to " dock" the horse's tail, with a view to prevent the identity. They then proceeded to Berghalt, in Essex, where they commenced getting rid of the bad money, which they succeeded in doing to some extent.. They then drove to Gosfield, where they put up at the King's Head Inn, and during the night they contrivri to steal two silver watches from the rooms of different travellers in the inn, and the robbery was not discOvered, until some time after they had taken their depar ture. B sides ptssing the counterfeit money at the place wl.ere they first stopped, they stole a cloak, a razor, and various other art i c le s of property. They subsequently proceeded to Colehester, where they trut up at the Sea Horse Inn, but in consequence of their suspicions of police, and had them taken. subse quentlyconduct the landlord entertained some e them, and watched them narrowly. And searched, eateh e possession, d'tw e l a t y - a. sent. for the custody. Upon their being Into shillings were found in theirpair . of twenty-one bad .. horse-pistols, and several packages containing a apparel and other articles, among which w m c g re w a cartn i g i watch, chain, &c., which they had from the . house of Mr. New 1►•of _stolen tr lain, B ayne. \\' hen the two fellows were tuken in.

In spite of all this bounce, how ever, the authorities would not let them depart, Etn a ultimately several clear cases of felony were brought home to them, and they were both fully committed for trial. Both the prisoners were tried at the late Es sex Sessions, and were convicted upon four indictments, and potter was sentenced upon two of them to be nd S► for trans ported for for twenty-two years, a ßoth the fellows were dres outh sed in ey first rate teen years. p, a n eared dreadfully dismayed vvh the sentence and they ea toe sentence was pronounced, at the very unpleasant limn er in which their journey had termat.itcd. ..--.-..,......moacOMMlZANa..aaCeacr, STEAM -BOAT ACCIDENT.—On Thursday after noon the inquest on the body of MnL Batt, a young woman, who Ncti9 drowned ton Friday evening last by the upsetting of a hjat in Woolwich Reach by the Vesper.
