THE POLISH QUESTION.

PARIS, Jusrz 20.

The Courrier de Dimanche of to-day, iu an article
upon the despatch of the notes of the Western
Powers to St. Petersburg, says :
" The French note is marked by the same senti-
ments of moderation which characterised the first
French communication.

" As regards the proposal of an armistice, it is
said to have been dropped, at least in the form
in which it was originally put forward.
" If our information is correct the despatch of
M. Drouyn de Lhuys confines itself to expressing
the hope that Russia, in the event of her
deferring to the wishes of the powers, would take
the most proper measures to arrest the effusion of
blood during the pending negotiations.
"It is asserted that M. Drouyn de Lhuys in
drawing up the six points already known as having
been proposed by the powers to Russia, endea-
vours, in order not to establish any sensible diver-
gence between the attitude of France and that of
Austria, not to lay too much stress on the second
and third points."

OUTRAGE UPON ENGLISHMEN IN SOUTH

RUSSIA.

A correspondent of the Levant herald writing
from Odeon on the sth says :—"An outrage has just been
committed on a couple of Englishmen in South Russia
whicbl appeal at ODOO to you to bring to the notice of her
Majesty's government and to that of the home pease and
public. The facts—which it is impoesible to report in pre.
SW detail, though my information aa to them is of the moat
certain kind—are shortly as follows. About tau days ago
a party of Cossacks proceeded to the estate of Count
Branitaki, of Biatooerkieff, to effect his arrest on •
charge of inearrectionarr complicity. 111%euglellse ewe*
quietly submitted to be arrested, the party subjected him
to brutal insult and violence, and half pillaged the chateau
besides. Amongst the servants—nearly all of whom came
in foe • share of their master's HI-treatment—wen two
English gardeners, named Douglas and Cunliffa. These
the ruffians seised, stripped, and nearly flogged to death,
and finally dragged off with them, with their arms tied
behind their backs. The poor fellows have since been
thrown into prison at, my information states, Seratoff,
where the count is also incarcerated. It is not pretended
that the victims of this brutal outrage were in soy way im-
plicated in the alleged offence of their master ; but they
were unprotected Englishmen, and that was enough to
entail on them the savage violence I have mentioned. I
know not if our local consul-general have taken any steps in
their behalf ; but whether or not, the matter is one for
the borne papers, and for Mr. Hennesey, or some other in-
dependent parliamentary friend of Poland, to make the use
of it which it justifies."

General Sherman has died at New Orleans.

Admiral Porter officially reports that be sent
another expedition up the Yazoo, which destroyed
nine Confederate transports. Admiral Porter adds,
that, with the exception of some few steamers
beyond Fort Pemberton, the Confederates can now
transport nothing on the Yazoo.
The Philadelphia Inquirer says that the second
South Carolina negro regiment defeated the Confe-
derates on the 3rd inst. at Pocotoglio, and was

Charleston. Reinforcements are being forwarded
to them.

It is reported that Mr. Vallandigham has been
imprisoned by the Confederates.

NEW YORK, JUNE 12, EVENING.

(By Telegrspb to Cape Race.)

Three brigades of Federal cavalry and 2,000 in-
fantry crossed the Rappahannock on Tuesday last at
Beverley Ford, and had a severe engagement with
General Stuart'a cavalry, lasting all day, when the
Confederates received heavy infantry reinforce-
ments, and the Federate recrossed the river, briLg-
ing away their dead and wounded.
The object of the expedition was to frustrate the
plans of General Lee, who had assembled a force
of cavalry at Culpepper Court-house with the
view of making a raid into Maryland. The expe-
dition is said to have succeeded in its object.
General Lee has received reinforcements, and the
impression still prevails that he will shortly assume
the offensive.

Great preparations for defence are being made in
Pennsylvania.
News from Vicksburg is to the Bth inst. The
siege was progressing, but the situation had not

The enrolment is being resisted in Indiana. The

ap to the annual contests among members of the Liver-
pool Athletic Club, ender the designation of "Olympic
games," a swimming match took place yesterday on the
Mersey, the prize being one of the club medals. Ou
Saturday last the other athletic competition, held under
the auspices of the club, took place in preeence of •
large concourse of spectators, and yesterday the swim.
ming match took place as a wind-up to the sports. The
course selected was from New Brighton to a fiaghost
moored off the great landing stage. There were nine
entries—viz., Messrs. F. Graham, Alex. Aitkio. 0. Harford,
R. A. 0. Beaver, E. Bolton, M. ll`Cullio, J. Pennington, ri
W. L. Team, sod S Miles. Of these, eight competitors
started, leaving New Brighton at five minutes before 12 e
o'clock at noon, the tide flowing, and the day calm, and, I
though cloudy, warm. Immense crowds of spectator"
lined the pierheads and landing-stages, and numerous par- I
ties were in boats and steamers on the rivers. o little more I
than five minutes after starting six of the eight competitors p
gave in and were taken up by boats which were in attend- 11
once. The competitors thus left were reduced to two 10
—Mews. M `Collin and Aitkin, both of whom coo.
tinned to swim in admirable style Rod with praiseworthy
emulation. From the strength of the tidal current, the
swimmers were carried well up the river before they could
make any attempt to cross, which was not essayed till they
bad reached a point pearly opposite to the Albert Ware-
bourn, which was attained about 1 o'clock. At this pmet
Mr. Aitkio became exhausted and was taken on board one
of the boats, and if 'Collin continuing on his career, passed
the tugboat, was declared the winner of the medal, and got
out of the water at 1.35 p.m., having been an hoar and 40
minutes engaged in his arduous enterprise.

The woman, covered with blood, was removed to the house

THE REVISED CODE.

Mr. DUNLOP asked the Vice-President of the Com-
mittee of Council on Education whether, with • view to
the revised code coming into operation in Scotland, the
recent addition to the 52nd article, as to the deduction of
salaries arising from endowment, the legal salaries of paro-
chial schoolmasters in Scotland were meant to be included
under the provision in that addition.
Mr. LO WE answered in the negative. The legal salaries
of the parochial schoolmasters stood in the same position as
the contribution of charitable persons, but in the heriton
bad this advantage—the salaries were imposed by • respon-
sible public body which kept accounta for the inspection of
those who were interested in them, and the burden was
equally spread over the whole pariah, instead of falling, as
is England, upon those only who were generously inclined,
and who had to make up for the panimooy of the rest.

THE PROPOSED AMA WAMATION OF THE

C.( IT AEU .VETEOPoLITAY POLICE.

3IEETING IN STEPNEY.—(THIS DAY.)
A meeting of the vestry of the hamlet of Rateliff
took place this day, at II o'clock, at the Green Coat
School. White Horse•ntreet, to take into consideration the
propriety of petitiouint leak houses of parliament against
the bill of the Home Secretary for depriving the citizens of
London of the power of appointing and managing their owe
police.
The Rev. RICHARD I.ge, M•A., rector of Stepney, took
the chair, and said that he seldom intruded on the vestry,
but this was a tune *ln ai It was incumbent on every man
to protnat against the etotrahning tendencies of the whig
government, who, for the rake of patronage and power,
winked to deprive the citireus of London of their rights and
privileges, and to crud into the City a police force decidedly
inferior to the City police. (Hair, hear.)
Mr. lA:URGE GOWLAND (oaf the firm of Walton and
Cowhand) condemned the nieamre of Sir George Grey,
and said it was a moot ungracious act after the
magnificent reception given by the City of London
to her Royal Highuens the Princess of Wales, and which
her royal bights...is land so kindly and graciously acknow-
ledged on Wednea.lay, to deprive the citizens of the control
and management of their own effective sad well-conducted
police. If the measure passed, as he hoped it never would, it
would be really puunalung the City for its enthusiastic
loyalty on the 7th Mercu last. (Hear, bear.) He con-
trasted the efficiency of the Metropolitan police with the
City police, very much to the disadvantage of the
former. and said that when burglaries were numerous in
Hackney the inhabitants could obtain no redress. The City
was the great focus of trade, the prmcipal tradesmen of the
metropolis kept their accounts at the City Oinking-houses,
and a numerous and efficient police force such as the City
possessed was required. Ile moved a series of resolutions
eulmieing the City police, and coodemniug the proposed
amalgamation of the two forces aa uncalled for and un-
neossary.

ME DERRY, the churchwardeu of %Miff, @wooded the
adoption of the resolutions, and said the proposed measure
was subversive of the principles of self.goveroment advo-
cated by Lord Palmerston. Ile hoped the time would
shortly come when every borough in the metropolis would
have its municipality, the government police abolished, and
en efficient police force uoder the control of the rate-
payers appointed in its stead. (Applause.)
The reeolutiocs were unanimously agreed to ; and it wan
also resolved that a petition againat the proposed amal-
gamation should be prepared by the clerk, and presented to
the House of Coalmine by Mr. C. 8. Butler, M.P.
Mr. TRONA!! WALTER propolied that the petition to the
upper house be presented by Lord Chelmsford, whose name
wan received with applause, but after some discussion the
matter was ordered to etand over for the present.
A vote of thanks to the rev. chairman terminated the
proceedings.

also with assaulting the complainant's porter.

until he received some security for his good behaviour for
the future.

The prisoner amid he had no friends in this country, u the
only relatives he had were abroad, and he wu about to join
them shortly.
The officer said be bad made imptiries, and the result
satisfied him that the prisoner was not light iu big mind.
Alderman Healey said he would remand the prisoner in
order that he ought be examined with tepid to the state
of his mind.

The prisoner raid be lied been examined already.

ROYAL ITALIAN OPERA.

The first performance of Ouglielmo Tell this
season brought a very large assemblage to Covent-garden
Theatre last night, M. Paure again played Guglielmo,
Medlle. Marie Batts wee Matilda, Medlin Dottini, Eduige
(in place of Madame Rudersdoeff, who acted the part re well
DA year), while Melcbdial, Walter, Geissler, "the fisher-
man," and Leatoldo were respectively represented, as for-
merly, by Signor Poloeini, Herr Formes, Signor Tagliafitio,
Signor Neri-Baraldi, and Signor Patriossi. There waa, how-
ever, one novelty in the mat—we mean the first appearance
on the Anglo-Italian stage of Signor OaMeri. He was coldly
received, and it wee evident that his vocal powers were
insufficient for so large • house.
The performances on Tuesday nut will be by special
command, and will be honoured by the presence of their

introduced on the covers are the Prince of Wales' feathers,
the monograms of the Primes. of Wales, the antis of

HER MAJEBTTB THEATRE.

The opera last night was Lurrezia Borgia, with
Titian MI the heroine, Gnulini as Gooney° ; Guaier, se the
Duke of Ferrara ; and Madame Maur, &debutante in this
musky, as Maffio Grim. Lucresis Borgia is one of those
great tragic parts which Titieos has inherited from Grin, and
of which she now holds ae absolute a possession as Grisi did
daring her longreign as Queen of the lyric stage. To this
throne Thiene has succeeded, and every lover
of music will wish that she may occupy it as
long ma her predecessor has done. Thiene' Lure-
xis is ae grand, as impassioned, as terrible—and what
la still more remarkable, as Italian as Gnsi's was ; and in the
execution of the music, she displays a greater degree of vocal
power, a richer fancy, and higher artistic skill in the art of
brilliant and varied embellishment, and greater ease and
Soucy is the execution of rapid and florid purges. Last
night she was in the fullest possession of all her powers, as
an actress and a singer, and we have seldom, if ever, sees
her make a stronger impression on the audience. She was
strongly supported by Giuglini, the greatest tenor now on
the stage, who sang with exquisite beauty and expression.
Indeed, the remark is generally made that he is singing
this season better than ever. Lablache's picture of
the Duke of Ferrara has left behind it an
impression that nothing can obliterate till he is utterly
forgotten. The impassible quietness of his manner had in
it something appalling, which no other actor can hope to
produce. Gamier's performance of the part is meritorious,
and his singing is particularly good. Madame Ellinger
node a successful &but. She is very German in look,
voice, style of singing, and pronunciation of Italian. Bat
she has excellentqual ities ; • rich, full-toned contralto voice,
more extensive and flexible then contralto voices generally
are. She is an intelligent actr. se and a singer of cultivated
taste sod style. Her excessive trepidation was unfavourable
to the effect of ber flint effort, the romance "Al di fatal di
Rimini." Bat the eueouragement she received restored her
self-posseasion, and her performance of the famous
auscroontic, "Il *egret." d'esaer folios," was • decided
triumph. This lady promises to be a valuable acquisition
to the theatre.

Asa whole the opera was effectively performed, sod re-
ceived with much appleuse by one of the fullest and most
faahlocable audiences al the swab.

SOUTHWARK.

An elderly Scotch gelicen;iiiiTnTered the court to com-
plain of a bleaphamons placard placed outside the Mop of
an undertaker carryiug on businesa adjacent to this court.
Be stated that while passing along Blackman-street kis
Attention was attracted to the placard headed, " Colesso
right and the Bible wrong." On looking farther down •
course of lectures was announced for Sunday evening as to
" The so-called miracles of Jeans Christ " being no evidence
of his divinity. It was full of blasphemy, and be con-
sidered it bin duty to call his worship's attention to it, so
that its publicity might be prohibited, and the parties pre-
vented from exposing such wicked placards.
lir. Combs said that he did not think be could interfere
in the meter.

—;cpplicaOiobserred that if such • thing was to occur in
Sootlead the parties who exposed such blasphemous
placards would be iustantly prosecuted by the authorities.
Mr. Combo directed Fermium, the warrant officer, to fetch
the placard in, and direct the undertaker to attend and ex-
plain his conduct. As soon as his worship had read the
placenl he expressed his opiate that the words were very
indecent, and ought not to be exhibited in public. What
had the undertaker to may ?
The underteker's man here entered the court, and said
that the placard was placed out by his master's orders.
Mr. Combs asked him if be was aware of the contents!

He replied that he wee. It referred to some lectures to
be given for six Sunday evenings.
Mr. Combo asked him if his master attended thee
lecture' ?

replied that he did, and took considerable interest in
them, and he ordered him to put this board out.
Mr. Combs told him that he had committed an offence
against the law, and was liable to be prompt-cited for ea-
poelog suet a blasphemous placard. It was not at all re-
spectable foe a tradesman to allow it, and more especially an
undertaker.

The run mid he wu not aware that there was anything
wrong iu it, or he would not have put it out. He would
take cue not to do so again.
Mr. Combo told him that if be did be would be prose-
cuted as well a■ his master, end he renennuoded him to tell
the latter what bad taken place.
The gentleman thanked his worship for his attention and
the parties left the court.

EQUITY COURTS.—Arp.u. 23.
(Before Vioe•Chanoellor Sir W. P. Wood.)
THE IMHOF OP =ET= o. SHITTI2.

This was a snit instituted to restrain the publication of
any letters of the Bishop of Exeter in a life of that prolate
written by the defendant, and advertised, as above, to be
published by Messrs. Saunders and Otley. An injunction
was granted in the course of last long vacation, and the
cause now arriving at a hearing, the object was to make
that injunction perpetual.
Mr. Cale, Q.C. and Mr. Renshaw, were for the bishop ;
Mr. Little appeared for Mr. Shutt. ; for the publisher,
pommel were not celled upon.
The Viceehancellor said that the natural, if not the only
inference to be drawn from the correspondence which took
place before the bill was filed, was that it was intended
to publish the letters of the Bishop of Exeter. And be-

sufficient to account for the non.delivering up of the corre-
spondence. Theis could be no doubt that the
publication by • clergyman of letters of a
diocesan, without that diocesan's consent, was •
grave offence against decency and morality. But the
defendant now swore that he had no intention of publish-
iog the bishop's letters, and in the absence of any evidence
to the contrary, he must be believed. It could not, how-
ever, be said that the defendant had evinced any propriety
of conduct beyond a readiness to obey the law' and his

Upon the correspondence there was a semi-lurking threat
of the possession of materiels which might be made use ;
indeed, it was a very unfortunate fact that from the de-
fead•ot's mode of expressing himself the infectious to do
even what was right and proper was °Quaked in the lan-
guage of threat. The defendant, however, explained all
this by his adidavit, so far as a denial of an improper Jaen-
Moe to publish the letters went. la this state of things the
bill must be dismissed, but, under all the circumstances,
certainly without costa.

CENTRAL RELIEF FUND.

A meeting of geueral cuininittee- of this fowl
was held yesterday in .the Mancliesder ?own-hall ; Me
Meyer of Mnectiairrea presided.
The Hon. SECRETARY reed the monthly report of ths
Central Executive Committee, wh oh' that these hie
hone a considerable increase in the number of pawns fully
employed. The hoe. secretary's monthly return shows
that on the 30th of May there was an increase of 13,451 pee.
sons working full time. and that there was a decrease of
68,389 persons in receipt of relief from local committees.
On the 30th of May there were 87,938 men, boys, women,
or children employed under the local committee', either in
work or educational classes. Since the lest meeting grant,
bad been made amounting to 63,2191. 15e. Bd., thus making
the total grants up to the present time 424,5081. ltis. Bd.
After some disouleioo,
The Town Cumt, at the request of Major E. Leigh,
embodied his views in the following resolution :—" That,
looking to the certainty of a greatly increased measure oa
the rates which will arise during the ensuing winter, it is, is
the opinion of this meeting, desirable that parliament, be.
fore separating, should provide additional facilities to boards
of guardians or overseen for borrowing, at a low rate of
interest; and upon satisfactory terms as to the re-payment,
such sums of money as may be required."
Major LUGS seconded the motion.
Mr. FAREALL said that such a movement at the present
moment wee likely to create a vast amount of difficulty in
the Home of Commons. Peril:merit was at present engaged
in passing into the hands of the loan commissioners a sum
of a million and a half of money, and it must be well known
that the house was not altogether composed of the friends
of Lancashire, and Mr. Villiers' bill was not likely to be
carried without considerable opposition. Now they were
asked to go to parliament with an eaten mounts, slaking
the loan commissioners for probably soother million and •
half. (The Town Clerk: Very likely.) This would
make three millions. His impressioa was that this would
betaking a dangerous murk, and that it would be better
to let the government have an opportunity of priming one
measure through the haulm before they brought forward a
fresh suggestion for loans at a low rate of interest.
After considerable further discussion,
The Town CLERK admitted that it was undesirable to
have anything like en appearance of division, and with the
consent of the meeting he would withdraw the resolution.
The motion was then withdrawn, and the meeting ad-
Yearned.

BELGIUM.

The precise results of the Belgian elections are
now known. There were 59 deputies to be named,
and of the members going out 31 belonged to the
liberal party and 28 to the catholics. The late
returns have given 34 to the latter and only 25 to
' the liberals, so that nine votes have been taken
from the parliamentary majority of the Rogier
ministry. The government party, computing all
its forces, could not previously reckon on a majo-
rity of more than 10 or 12 votes. Hence the
situation of the cabinet becomes critical.

MUSIC.

SIGNOR THALBERG'S FAREWELL lIIATINLT.
The fourth and last of this great artist's perfor-
mances took place yesterday at the Hanover-square Rooms.
which were filled by a fashionable audience, whose applause
was as demonstrative and as earnest as any that has greeted
Signor Thalberg even during the earlier period of his first
popularity. Nor should there be any diminished warmth
of reception of one who has effected so much for the develop-
meat of his art, and whose own powers are still in as great
perfection as when he first made his fame. Never did Signor
Thalberg play more finely than on the present occasion,
which, according to the announcement, is to be his farewell
public performance. If this promise, or threat we may
almost call ir, is to be kept, it will be matter of regret to
those who have not heard, and to the many who wish to
hear again, a display of the greatest executive power combi-
ning the utmost force with the highest refinement and deli-
cacy. Signor Thalberg's performances this season have
been remarkable u having included specimens from other
composers, in addition to pieces of his own composition—
contrary to his former practice of limiting himself almost
entirely to his own music.

SIMCCTTON AND ATTINSTID SUICIDE.-A SAD STORY.

Asa Richardson, a rannetably attired young wonen,
about 18 years of age, deacribed as a domestic servant, was
charged before lfr. Barker with attempting to commit sui-
cide by taking laudanum and a quantity of red precipitate.
From the evidence it appeared that the unfortunate
young woman had been promised marriage, and had been
seduced a short time niece. She went into the Olerkenwell
Worhbouse, sad was delivered of a deed child. When she
recovered a licensed victualler and his wife took companion
on her and engaged her as a servant. She again felt
unwell, and although she was treated with every
isdulgeoce she fretted a great deal, and spoke bat little.
A day or two since she asked a yang man to woken far
her some laudanum, but he refused, and mentioned
the matter to her employers, who chided her for giving
way to such foolish thoughts. She, however, paid no enmi-
ties to these remarks, for she purchased some landsman
and seen red preeipitete powder, sad, baying. pat,
them together, drank the mixture. Her groans spredili
brought anseliance to her. and she was token to a surgeoa's.i
where an emetic was administered, and the stomach pump

need, fortunately, with good effect. From inquiries that
bad since been made, it appeared that the prisoner had be-
fore attempted nuked° by throwing herself from a window.
The young man who had promised her marriage would not
now fulfil his engagement.
The prisoner, when put before the court, said she would
not go back to her parents, and as for life she did not
care for it, for she had thought of it until it had bemuse a
haunting, unbearable horror to her. All that she hoped
was that those who bed loved her would pray for her. To-
, day she stated that she had profited by the advice she bad
rasivcd from the chaplain at the Howe of Detention, and
was now very sorry for what she had done, and if she was
d'scharged would go home with her mother.
Mr. Barker, in feeling terms, addressed the prisoner, and
Meted that she had been guilty of one of the highest crimes.
He was glad that she had psid attention to the clergymen,
for the advice he had given her, if followed out, would make
health and life more valuable. She must learn to bear up
against adversity. He would now discharge her.

WARNING TO THE GRAND DUKE
CONSTANTINE.

BERLIN, Jaws 15.

A private letter received here from Warsaw,
dated the 12th hut, says :—" It is said that after
the execution of the insurgent chief Heinrich
Abicht and the Capuchin monk Konarski, who
were hanged to-day, the Grand Duke Constantine
received a warning from the National Government
that it could no longer be responsible for his safety."

THE POLISH INSURRECTION.
CRACOW, Jim 15.

The report of the Archbishop of Warsaw's arrest
appears to have been incorrect, the actual state of
the case being as folios's :—ln consequence of the
execution of the priest Bonarski, the archbishop
and clergy of Warsaw sent in a protest to the
government, and demanded that the body should
be handed over to them for interment. The pro-
test and demand were immediately telegraphed to
Mt Petersham whence an order was recq:ved that
the archbishop should at once repair to the capital.
Archbishop Felinaki has therefore probably already
left Warsaw for St. Petersburg.
