That germ must be blasted, that sound must be silenced : those were the necessities — and Cracow was destroyed. Now, the question at present un-ler the considera- tion of the Legislature is not whether this annexa tion of Cracow to the Austrian dominions be a positive infraction of the stipulations en tered into by the contracting parties at the Congress of 1815. That is indisputable. The very protests forwarded from the Foreign-office, the very language uttered by her Most Gracious MAJESTY, the very expressions used by the members of the Administra tion, were to the effect that it was a direct and monstrous infringement of those stipulations. The question propounded by Mr. HumE is this—whether England is not justified in refusing to pay any further instalments of the Russo-Dutch Loan ? " That is the question." Since 1816 we have paid to the Russian Government, on this score, no less an amount, in hard cash, than 3,374,0001. "A pretty fair amount from a distressed country," says the Hon. Member for Montrose. So say we. Our estimated surplus for the next financial year is not more than 60,0001., and that we cannot but regard as a rather sanguine estimate. Shall we then, in this moment of embarrassment, continue to pour inter the exchequer of a perfidious power monies which we have only engaged to pay so long as she preserves unbroken the compact of the Congress of Vienna? Has she not already broken that solemn compact, and rendered it ipso facto a dead letter ? It contracts itself to that consideration. If so, then are we relieved from the moral obligation of disbursing any more of this Russo-Dutch Loan. That is manifest. Tire problem, therefore, t 9 be decided by Parliament is this—" Has Russia rendered the Treaty of Vienna a dead letter?" Supposing that problem be solved by an affirmative then may we refuse, without any diminution of our credit, to continue our annual contributions to the revenues of NICIIOLAS; but not otherwise. We are not, however, amazed at the catastrophe of Cracow. Arising from the ,Treaty of Vienna, we are reminded or the gathering of figs from thistles. The frequency with which the delinquencies of the police force are brought under public notice becomes perfectly repulsive. No sooner has one objectionable act by one or more of this corps been exposed, and subjected to such merited censure, either by the magistracy, or by the ordinary channels of public opinion, or by both these authorities combined, so as to justify the hope of our being spared the repetition of similar grave offences, titan another is laid on the tapir in very mockery, as it were, of so delusive an expectation. As we have before now often remarked, it would be idle to suppose but that among so numerous a body of men, constantly augmented in order that their efficiency may be equal to the exigencies occa• sioned by a rapidly increasing population, some of them will be found from time to time to abuse the authority with which they are invested, and to be guilty of most opprobrious conduct. The infirmities of human nature preclude us from harbouring the conviction, that, do what we may, the rights and liberties of the subject, and the ends of justice itself, will be faithfully guarded and sustained in every in stance by those upon whom we have the best claim for protection to property, liberty, and life. We cannot dispense with a police force, and must there fore remain liable to isolated acts of aggression, in s asive of the rights of the people, and subversive of public morals, by the very men who are employed and paid to preserve and promote both the one and the other. The only remedy we have against such treachery under the guise of authority, and which, from those who occupy the bench in our different courts, superior and subordinate, we natu rally expect to see most rigidly enforced is, that when the members of a corps, constituted to aid in the prevention of crime, themselves become criminal, they should be visited with severe and exemplary punishment. But whilst we lament the way in which the police have for some time past loosened the hold which they had upon the confidence of the public, by reason of the nefarious practices in which they have been proved to have engaged themselves, when we con sider the case to which we are about to allude, our wonder is that their crimes have not been more numerous. In truth this may have been the case, of which, to its real extent, the public have been prevented from coming to the knowledge, in consequence of the opportunities possessed by the police of shielding their colleagues, and of which, it is notorious, they have not scrupled to avail them selves. By what follows it will be seen that a latent poison has been suffered to remain in the very system itself, entirely destructive of all moral energy, and directly tending to undermine, through the tempta tions thrown in their way, and the lures held out to them by the authorities of a public department, every qualification desirable for the proper discharge of their important functions. In the Central Criminal Court, on the 3d inst., before the Chief Baron, a man and a woman were indicted for feloniously having had in their possession a mould calculated to make counterfeit coin. When the case for the prosecution was closed,—which pre sented evidence of so inconclusive a character that the Chief Baron declared it to be insufficient to war rant the counsel for the prisoners addressing the Court,—the subjoined was elicited by Mr. PAYNE and the Judge : " Mr. Payne, for the prisoner—How did you come to bo sent to this place ? Brennan said he went in pursuance of written instructions from the Mint solicitor. "In answer to further questions from the Learned Counsel, the sergeant said that officers who were witnesses for the Mint were not paid according to the usual scale, but received as much as ss. and 7s. a day for their attendance. " The Chief Baron asked the witness whether he received is. a day for his attendance at the Court ? He replied that he did. "The Chief Baron then inquired whether he received that 7s. in addition to his pay as sergeant of police, and lie replied in the affirmative. " Lie' Chief Baron asked him the amount of his pay ? The sergeant replied 255. per week. "The Chief Baron—And the Mint pay you wady double when you are employed by them." Comment upon the above is rendered superfluous. The summing up of the Chief Baron and the verdict speak volumes. We cannot do better than extract them from the report of this singular trial : "His Lordship then addressed the jury, and in the course of his observations said he could not understand how such a mode of payment of witnesses by the Mint had originated, but he must express his opinion that it was highly improper. He could not see why a person who was in thi service of the public as a police•officer should receive double the amount of his pay in that capacity when engaged as a witness for the Mint, and although he would not go the length of saying that it would induce men to commit the horrible crime of getting up cases against innocent parties for the sake of ob taining that additional allowance, yet so far as his experience went as a criminal judge, he must say that he did not think it safe for persons in that capacity to be so paid by the Mi n t, an d said this in the hearing of the authorities of that establish ment, because he thought it was a practice that should be discontinued. " The jury immediately returned a verdict of Not Guilty. and the foreman said that the jury entirely concurred in the observations of his Lordship with regard to the mode adopted by the Mint of paying the witnesses, and trusted it would not be acted upon in future." We have purposely abstained from going into the merits of the case, as affecting the guilt or innocence of the parties tried, because we are satisfied that no English jury would convict persons, were the evi dence ever so clear, so long as the system, which hap pily has been herein exposed, shall be suffered to con tinue. We have no doubt of its being immediately abandoned. Our surprise is, that it should ever have been sanctioned. The Chief Baron and the jury deserve the warmest commendation for the unqualified reprehension which they respectively cast upon the authorities of the Mint. course, is the produeiien of one head originally—he calls to his: assistance one or two others, and they resolve on their proceeding. Then comes the pros pectus contabling the names, it may be of 50, 100, or even 200 highly respectable noblemen and gentle men, inercinuits, and traders, who give their written consent to he placed on the committee. The next thing is to obtain credit with tradesmen and others ; one supplies the stationery, another advertises the concern in the newspapers, and thus the public are :induced to take shares in the project; engineers and surveyors are set to work to prepare the necessary Vans for Parliament ; the stationer prints the share -certificates and supplies the paper, the advertising agent is employed to announce to the world the names of the committee, the objects of the company, and, perhaps, that no further applications for shares in the " important" undertaking will be received after a given day, &c., &e. The shares are allotted, go into the market at a premium, and all goes on swimmingly; each of the committee helps his friends and himself to allotments, his own claim being sel dom less than 200, and often a much larger number, which during the palmy days of speculation he usually disposed of, say at 20s. premium, at once ob taining a clear profit of at least 200/.. The shares in the companies projected in 1845 did not, however, stop at such a premium ; there were instances of their coming out at 51., and going up even to W. premium, and the committeemen cleared enormous profits. Such an appeal to the cupidity of mammon-hunters was responded to as might have been expected; numbers launched into every project, hoping that these golden days would last ; but a change came over the scene. The 25th of October, 1845, ushered in the panic in all its terror, the golden dreams of the committeemen vanished, and many of those very gentlemen fled to foreign lande, to avoid the responsibilities they had incurred. Who were the sufferers? The tradesmen, advertising agents, and engineers. The secretary had obtained credit of those parties on the strength of the solvency and acknowledged respect ability of those whose names appeared on the list of the provisional committee. The day of reckoning came at length ; those very gentlemen who had per haps realised large sums by their connexion with the project repudiated all liability ; the parties who gave them credit, and who had paid away large sums of money on their behalf, in the full belief of their solvency and honour, were set at defiance, and the only means left to the unfortunate creditor was to bring actions, and to plunge into a doubtful litigation in order to recover the amounts of his fair demands. The judges now rule that the committeeman is not liable, inasmuch as he did not give the orders to the plain tiffs to do the work, and therefore they must look to the parties who gave them the orders. The secretary and solicitor are then to be attacked, and made responsible for all the debts, men who were what ?—the " servants" of the committee!! You might just as well turn round upon your baker, and those who have supplied you with the necessa ries you required, and say, I shan't pay ; I didn't order the bread; look to the party who ordered it— "the servant." Is that servant to pay for what you re quired, and for what you did, or expected to, derive benefit from? The thought is preposterous. The judges, then, rule that the committeeman is not liable, unless he gives the orders himself. Well, to illustrate this phase of the affair, let us suppose a company where there were 150 provisionals-100 out of them happen to live perhaps 60 or 100 miles away from the offices of the company. Were all these men to walk to the tradesmen and request them to do such and such things necessary to bring the affairs of the company to a successful issue? They would have laughed at the idea. They left those things to the secretary and other appointed officers, their servants; and are they, because they were not the parties actually ordering everything, to be let off? Again, the judges rule that where there is a ma naging committee the provisional committee are not liable ! What was the managing committee ? The servants of the provisional. By whom appointed? By the provisional committee. And then we are told, forsooth, that they (the managing committee) are the parties liable for all the debts of the company! —men acting for others to pay their employers' debts! The secretaries, solicitors, and managing commit teemen were the employees of the provisional com mittee; and for their acts, in the fair construction of the common law of master and servant, principal and agent, the provisional committee, and every in dividual member thereof, is liable. And yet we find judges stating to juries fur their guidance, "that pro visional committees were composed of persons who merely registered their approval of the schemes." Would they have been contented with merely regis tering their approval if any profit had accrued ? Would they not have gone in for their share? Would they have been satisfied by the company saying, "We only had your names as sanctions to our scheme ?" No; they would have claimed (as they would have been en titled to do) their dividends, and demanded as a right further large allotments of the reserved shares. If I employ a servant, I am answerable in law and justice for all his acts as my servant. Hence, if my carter runs over a man, and breaks his leg, the in jured man has a right of action against me for damages. flow absurd, then, appears the ruling of our judges, who de facto assert that the act of the ser vant is not binding on the master. The provisional committeemen area coparcenary with others, carrying on business, that business, and if the b us i ness f a il , each being railway mak in g; man's estate ought to be liable, as it would be in a common bankruptcy. Now let us look at the opinions he!d by those very judges. In the beginning of 1846 we find Baron PARKE, in a case tried at Maidstone, thus reported:— " Mr. Baron PARKE told the jury that by consent ing to act as a provisional committeeman the defend ant gave authority to the secretary to give all orders for matters which were necessary for the promotion j of the company, and that therefore the defendant was answerable for orders so given ; and left it to the jury (as the only question) to say whether . thoi.e orders were so given." The Lord Chief Baron, in another case in his own Court, June 25, 1846, said—"lf a person gave his consent to have his name placed before the world, that Act would authorise his being held out as a person who would be answerable for the payment of all necessary expenses. If that were done there could be no doubt of the liability of the defendant." Again, on July 4,—" The Lord Chief Baron, in leaving a similar case to the jury, said that if there had been any doubt of the defendant having been a member of the committee, his own letter, which had been produced, would at once have satisfied them of the fact. Now, no man, having once been put forth to the world as a member of a committee, which committee was put forward as the responsible portion of a concern, could withdraw his name, and so get rid of his liability, unless that withdrawal were brought under the regular notice of the public at large, and the persons having claims on the company informed thereof. That did not appear to have been done in the present case. If, therefore, they were of opinion that, by giving his consent to become a member of the committee, he had authorised the officers of the com pany to hold him forth amongst others as one who had consented to become liable for the preliminary expenses, it would be their duty to give a verdict for the plaintiff." These are only a few of the cases where the judges have laid down the law as in a partnership. In these cases verdicts were returned for the plaintiffs. Lord DENMAN, in charging the jury in a case in December last, said, after the case of Wynn v Hop- KiNs had been quoted, " That he certainly would not nonsuit the plaintiff. lie had read the judgment re ferred to, and did not think that it dictated to him the course that had been suggested. The Court might not understand the meaning of the term pro visional committeeman as a matter of law, but it must mean something. If two men put their names over the door of a house of business as partners they held themselves out to the world in that character, and took upon themselves its liabilities." Again, on December 22, after a few prefatory re marks, he said, "If a man, for instance, authorised another to build a house for him, the necessary impli cation was that he also gave him authority to procure the materials necessary for the construction ; and so, if a man authorised another to act in the constitution I of the company, it would be inferred that he extended the authority to all such operations as were indis pensable to the constitution of the company, although to nothing which was beyond that necessity." In a case tried a few weeks since the judge told the jury that the provisional committeeman was not liable, and they returned a verdict that he was not legally, but that he was morally liable. Also, in a case recently tried at Drogheda, in Ireland, the judge said that the Court of Exchequer ruled that a pro visional committeeman was not liable, unless he gave the orders, and therefore they must nonsuit the plaintiff. The jury could not, however, agree to this, retired, and on returning in a quarter of an hour, asked the judge whether it was justice or law they were to consider. If they were to consider the honesty of the case, they could not agree to a verdict for the defendant. Ntre find, then, in these matters, the late opposed to justice. Is it to remain so ? Are men still to be shielded from the consequences of their own acts ? It is to be hoped that this state of things will not continue, and that our judges may deal out justice simultaneously with law; otherwise who can foresee the end of these contradictions, which in reality con stitute a judge, however unwittingly, a defender of those seeking to evade the payment of their just and honest liabilities ? The Vorort of Switzerland has addressed to the Go vernment of Lucerne a remonstrance against the as sumption of independence of that body manifested by the military organization at Lucerne, and has also ad dressed a circular to the cantons generally, in which the Vorort declares that it is contrary to the constitu tion of the federation for any one canton to call for mili tary aid from another canton, or to send its troops into another canton, even when applied to for that pur pose, without first obtaining the assent of the Federal Directory. The German Universal Gazette publishes the following letter from Warsaw:— " The Russian Government, fearing, no doubt, that the passage in the speech of the King of the French and that of the Queen of Great Britain, relative to the suppression of Cracow, might produce too great a sensation in this city, has commanded the censors to suppress that passage in the national journals, and to cut the paragraph out of all foreign journals previous to their delivery to their address. The passage in the speech of the King of the French relative to the treaty of commerce and navigation concluded with Russia, has likewise been suppressed, the Emperor not wish ing that his subjects should be acquainted with his relations with foreign countries." A letter from Berlin, dated 22d ult., says— " It has been this day decided that Prince Solms-llohen solins-Lich is to be president of the General Diet, which opens on the 11th April. It is said that in all conimunica tions and official documents the nobles will be designated as the ' First Assembly,' and the members of the three other states as the Second Assembly.' Che last will have for president M. ite Itochow de Stulpe, Marshal of the Court. It was stated at one time by the newspapers, that Count d'Arnim de Boitzenburg, late Minister of the Interior, would be Marshal of the Diet. lie was, in fact, nominated to that post by the King, but positively refused to undertake the duties.' Madrid papers of the 26th ult. have arrived. The President of the Council declared in the Chamber of Deputies o❑ the 25th that the Government had no in tention of superseding General BRETON in Catalonia. lie further pledged the Cabinet not to contract the loan unless the measure should be of absolute necessity. General SANZ is t) be appointed Captain-General of Grenada, General MANS O, of Valencia, and General PAVIA is to have the Government of Castile. The Gaccta publishes the royal decree sanctioning the union of the banks of SJII Fernando and Isabel. The capital of the new bank was fixed at 400,000,000 reals (4,000,0001. sterling), and its duration at twenty five years. The quarrels between the QUEEN and her husband, Don FRANCISCO, have attained to such a height that concealment any longer is impossible. The QUEEN her self expresses her abhorrence of her husband, and scruples not to speak openly with disgust of his infirmi ties, physical and moral. Cul:m.llNA interferes and supports her daughter ; Don FRANCISCO DE PAULO supports his son, and these respective parties vent their exasperation in language of the coarsest character, and, according to the last accounts, CHRISTINA is about to retire to France. In the mean while a Carlist outbreak on a large scale is in pre paration. Several towns in Biscay, Catalonia, and Na varre have been already gained. These are the first fruits of the Moutpensier marriage. MADRID BoLsA, FEB. 26.—The Three per Cents. were done at 22 1 / 2 for cash ; the Five per Cents., at 19►/,~ ; the Debt without Interest, at 6; and the Coupons. at 17. We have received the Paris papers of Wednesday. The Courrier Francais says:—" To celebrate their ncanciliatiom M. GuizoT will in a few days give to Lord NORMANDY a grand dinner, to which the whole of the corps diplomatique will be invited." We find it stated in the same journal, that an attaché from the French Foreign-office had been dispatched to Tunis on a special mission. Ile is said to be the bearer of the rept: of the French Government to the application of the BEY for support against the SULTAN. The French policy in Greece is beginning to produce its fruit. CesLETTI, the Franco-Greek Minister, acting under the orders of M. PISCATORY, the French Am bassador, has refused to give satisfaction to the Turkish Ambassador fur a gross insult which had been offered to him by OTHO, and the Ambassador has very properly withdrawn from Athens. "We announced yesterday," says the Journal des Debuts, " that a serious complica tion had arisen in the relations of Greece with the Porte in consequence of the refusal of the representative of the SULTAN at Athens, M. MASSURAS, to sign the pass port for Constantinople of M. Tzamt CARATUSSO, the aide- de-camp of King thaw,' because that officer had taken part in the expedition against the Turkish provinces in 1841." The KING had addressed on the occasion angry ex pressions and reproaches to the Ottoman Minister, who having complained to the Divan, the latter dispatched a steamer to the Piraeus, which was to bring back the re presentative of Turkey to Constantinople, should he not obtain a reparation within a delay of three days. We learn ta-day that the President of the Greek Ministry, COLETTI, having refused to give the satisfaction demanded by the Porte, the Turkish Minister at Athens embarked at the Piraeus on the 14th of February, and reached Constantinople on the 17th. That event had excited a lively sensation in the Turkish capital. We also learn that the Ambassador of France, Baron DE Bouagt7ENEv, had obtained full satisfaction fur the insult offered to M. SABATIER, our Consul at Janina." The French authorities in the neighbourhood of Bayonne have managed to get into a squabble with the Spanish authorities on the subject of the boundary be tween the two countries, and the French have backed up their pretensions by marching a squadron of cavalry, two companies of infantry, and a battery of field pieces to Behobia. The cause of these military movements is the seizure, by the authorities of Fuentarabia, of a French merchant vessel, stranded at the mouth of the Bidassoa, which river, it appears, is claimed from bank to bank by the Spaniards, —an assumption the French will not recognise, and have, therefore, refused to pay certain duties which the above parties exact, on the plea that the wreck is in Spain, whereas it lies nearer to the French than the Spanish shore of the river. General llaatisrE, the Commander-in•Ch:ef of this district, has in consequence been ordered by his Go. vernment to obtain possession of the vessel by force, if she be not restored forthwith. This demonstration has created a great sensation on the Spanish side of the frontier, and universal indignation is expressed againat the French Government for trying to bully the authori ties of Fuentarabia into submission with cannon and bayonets. The Spanish flag has been hoisted on board the avreck. We find the following in the Gazette de France, on the alleged attempts of the French Government to get possession of the Balearic isles : "The English journals talk of a pretended notification, sent from Paris to London, of a resolution come to by the French Government, to occupy the Balearic islands. We think we can state, in a positive manner, that this news is unfounded. We are even assured, that the Cabinet of the Tuileries, wishing to destroy the effect which the news may have produced in England, and to take away all pretext for repeating it, immediately gave orders that no French vessel of war shall for some time to come station in the waters of the Balearic islands. Instructions have besides been sent to the Count de Ste. Aulaire, to remove in the most absolute terms the fears which the English Government may have conceived on this subject." The price of corn still continues to rise in all the towns of France, and money is becoming scarce, as the precious metals are being gradually drained out of the country in payment of the supply of provisions. The foreign ships refuse to receive merchandise, and insist on being paid in bullion. " Pi says the Reforme. " all foreign shim ing continue to refuse to receive merchan dise in return for wheat. and insist on bullion, a financial crisis may be created which would serve admirably the views of the coalesced Powers against France. An as sertion which at first sight may appear absurd, may sub sequently be justified by events.

M. SOYFR'S ARRIVAL IN DUBLIN.—We understand that M. Sover arrived in Dublin on Monday night, and on Tuesday had interviews with the Lord• Lieutenant and the Commissaries• General, Sir R. Routh and Sir J.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. The sales of Cotton at Liverpool were4,ooo bales, at steady rates. Shares were rather dull. The Corn market to-day is again higher, as regards Wheat. The Money Market has an exceedingly flat appearance to•day, and the pressure of the payments on the new loan is felt temporarily, even more than was by some expected. Out of doors money has been comparatively easy, and the heavy amount of bills which fell due yesterday was met well under all circumstances. The English Stock Market has been very sensitive, and it seems evident that sales have been made to obtain cash for payments upon the scrip.. Consols have been 89'A, and are now 90%. Time bargains have been effected at 90%; to 90%. Exchequer-bills have been quoted 3s, to 6s. pre mium, being rather steady. Bank Stock has been firm at 204% to 205 1 / 2 . .

Since Monday the arrivals of English Wheat have been on a very limited scale, and the show of sa:nples to day was trifling. Still, however, the home millers purchased with extreme caution; but, as about 1,200 quarters of lied were taken for France, those qualities improved fully is per quarter. In White Wheat very little was doing, at late rates. In Foreign Wheat a good business was transacted for export to France, and the quotations had an upward ten dency. Both Barley and Malt were excessively dull, and the turn lower. Tha large arrivals of Oata from abroad pro duced much heaviness in the trade , and prices receded quite Is per quarter. Beans were very dull, and is per quarter lower than on Monday. All other articles were a slow in. quiry. Wheat. ARRIVALS. I Barley.

The Lords met at Five. Lord BROUGHAM moved for the documents relating to the commitment of a boy, five years and two months old, to Tuthill Fields' prison on a charge of felony. He moved for these papers with a view to the removal of the committing magistrate. Agreed to. On the motion of the Earl of ELLENBOROUGII, certain returns relating to the Navigation and : Export trade were ordered to be made. The Labouring Poor (Ireland) Bill passed through Committee, and their Lordships adjourned. The Commons met at four o'clock. Mr. SPOONER, on behalf of Mr. ORMsBY GORE, post poned the motion of which he bad given notice, for the removal of Smithfield market, to Thursday, the 18th, on which day he would move for a Select Committee to in quire into the subject. In answer to Sir A. L. HAY, the LORD-ADVOCATE stated that the civil authorities were in no way to blame for calling out the military during the late meal riots in Scotland. Mr. J. O'CONNELL gave notice that on the order of the day for the House going into Committee of supply being read, he should move that those persons at present employed on the public works in Ireland, be for the re mainder of their term employed in the tillage of the land. Mr. VERNON SMITH then rose to move—" That, in order to assist and encourage voluntary emigration to the colonies, it is expedient to increase the importance and authority of the Land and Emigration Board, to add to their agency in Great Britain and Ireland, and promote their vigilant superintendence of the passage and future location of the emigrants." Mr. MACKINNON seconded the motion. Mr. LEFROY and Mr. KERn thanked the Hon. Gentle men for haying attracted the attention of the Govern went to the subject. Mr. Hawas did not wish to offer any direct opposition to the motion, but would content himself with moving the previous question, as he thought it unadvisable to interfere with the proceedings of the Emigration Board. The House was subsequently addressed by Dr. BOWRING, Mr. S. O'BaIEN, Lord J. Russzu., who was of opinion that no assistance was required from Government, hut that the subject should be left to private enterprise, Mr. HoPE, Mr. C. BULLER, and several other Hon Members. Ultimately the motion was withdrawn. Mr. Husin then brought forward his resolutions with respect to Cracow. The Hon. Member addressed the House at great length, and was followed by Lord SANDON, Lord J. RUSSELL, and other Hon. Members. The debate was, however, adjourned till Thursday next. The report on the Factories Bill was then brought up, and ordered to be further considered on March 18. The other orders having been disposed of the House adjourned at half-past Twelve o'clock. . Instead of dwindling away, the indignation which the Austrian and Russian Governments have excited against themselves by the occupation of Cracow is rapidly increasing in energy, and promises in time to become an irresistible means of revenging Poland and of vindicating the sanctity of international treaties. That indignation has been successively expressed in the official protests forwarded to the Courts of Vienna, St. Petersburgh, and Berlin, in the brief but emphatic allusion to those protests contained in the Speech from the Throne, in the enormous assembly convened in the Freemasons' Tavern, on Tuesday evening, and in the earnest and repeated commenta ries of an untramelled Press. It has now found a voice in the Parliament of Great Britain. To the jealous and watchful Autocrat this repetition of con tumelious and wrathful accusations, both in regard to the policy of his own Cabinet and in that of his ob sequious and sympathetic neighbour, must be serious cause for trepidation. The might of justice, sus tained by the enthusiasm of unanimous nations, and allied to the spirit of liberty and the genius of patriotism, is irresistible when opposed to the selfish and solitary sway of a detested despotism. It is be cause we are so thoroughly satisfied with the gigantic pow er of those predominant forces, when combined together, that we are watching with so much interest the spread of the odium consequent upon the last and most flagitious of the crimes which have been perpetrated at the instigation of Russia, and under the guidance of Prince METTERNICH. And it is because of this sense of security and of our dormant strength that we are morally convinced the present , agitation in respect to Polish freedom will, if con ducted with undiminished ardour, ultimately prove victorious. We are grateful therefore to the Honourable Mem ber for Montrose for the strenuous efforts he is making to bring this important matter directly under the consideration of Parliament. Although we are ready to admit the force of Lord Joint Russimes ob jection to the third point in the motion brought for ward by Mr. Hintz, namely, that the non-continuance of the payment of the Russo-Dutch Loan is scarcely a question coming directly under the cognizance of the House of Commons, but is peculiarly a matter requiring the previous interposition of the Executive, we are still sufficiently satisfied that the introduction of the subject to that Honourable House must prove in effect beneficial, to express our obligation and gratitude for the course pursued by the Honour able Gentleman the Member for Montrose. It cannot be forgotten that the occupation of Cracow by Austrian troops was the cause of certain observations from the lips of Mr. HUME to wards the conclusion of last session. Remembering the military possession which was taken of that neutral republic in 1831, and subsequently in 1836, the Honourable Member deemed this new inter ference with the arrangements of the Cracovian mu nicipality of sufficient importance to justify the more rigid scrutiny of those passive Governments who were parties to the treaty ensuring to Cracow its independence. The result has significantly verified the suspicions then expressed by the representative of Montrose. Brooding over the contiguity of a free state, however insignificant its dimensions, and con spiring the means for its extinction and oblitera tion during a period of more than thirty years, Austria and Russia at length found a propitious moment for the consummation of their unexampled crimes. The preservation of a portion of that Poland whose colossal debris were scattered along the fron tiers of their several territories, goaded on the crowned robbers of the North to the commission of the deed which they seemed to regard as the only means of re moving from the face of Europe the otherwise damning and everlasting monument of their common infamy. In the independenc e of the Cracovian population the thenam geesrmof tohfeiruhlteerroioicr ancesto rs revenge appeared to possess The r esrounradteodf likethe irresponsible legislati on of C rac ow an evil omen even within the walls of Vienna : it reminded the arbitrary rulers of that Polish blood which cried to heaven for vengeance, from generation (FROM A CORRESPONDENT.) Much has been hitherto said in reference to the liability of provisional committeemen, and many views of the case have been given forth to the public on both sides. It is a question that involves a vast amount of capital, and one deserving of the most serious consideration. Upon this question of liability we find some of the learned occupants of the judicial bench differing from others, laying down the law in various ways, and, what is still more anomalous, we find the same judge ruling one way at one time and differently at another— one holding " that provisional committeemen are liable," another " the reverse ;" but, unfortunately, those judges who conscientiously believed in their just liability, refusing to be governed by their own judgment, because their brethren in another court take a different view of the case. It is really time that the law should be laid down and finally settled, that the English public may know what is and what is not the law. Let us consider the formation of a company, and the mode of carrying out its plans.
