THE POLISH INSURRECTION.

Mr. W. EWART asked the First Lard of the Treasury
whether any reliable account had been received of a we-
vention said to have been concluded between the govern-
meets of Rue* and of Prussia respecting the present date
of affairs in Mend ; and whether, In inch cue, there would
be any objection to communicate such information to the
house.

Lord PALMERSTON replied that he believed some such
arrangement as that mentioned by the hoc. member bad
been concluded between Rani& sod Prussia with respect to
the present state of Poland. So far as her Majesty's go-
vernment was informed this agreement provided that the
one party should be allowed to pursue insurgents into the
territory of tie other, and that the railways of the latter
should be available in ease of . He did not ho-
boes that the agreement went to the extent of providieg
that either party should employ faros is assisting the other.
He had, however, no detailed report an the subject, but
merely general information.
CORRESPONDENCE RELATING TO POLAND.

Mr. DENMAN having given notice of his intention to uk
the following question—whether her Majesty's government
were peepired to lay upon the table of this hones any oorre-
which passed between Lord Clarendon and her
Erse7s.government in 1856, relating to Poland,
Lord PALMERSTON (who bad not renamed his
seat) said, being on his legs, he would take that oppor-
tunity of simmering it by anticipation. There wee
only one despatch relating to Poland, received from
Lad Clarendon during the sittings of the Congress of
Paris in 1856, and the government had no objection to lay
that despatch on the table.
THE ROAD BETWEEN KENSINGTON AND BAYS-

WATE.

Viscount ENFIELD asked the Pint Commissioesr of
Works whether he would mocesider the qualtios at the N-
ewsom( of the carriage-road whisk was opened leek year
through a portion of Hyde-pork, between the districts of
Bayswater and South Kensington ? The noble lord said,
during the six mouths that that road was open it answered
all purposes reqnhed, and he believed the re-opening of it
would pee general eatisfacticm.

Mr. 00ViPE6 said be bad long felt that the populous
districts of Bayswater and Paddington on the north side,
end of South Kensington sad Chelsea on the south side of
the park, absolutely required a public road to unite them.
(Hear, hear.) He had felt that it wee a question
of time when that should be done, and that the
population of those extensive districts would not
always be content with perambulating the outside
boundary of the park, and adding two miles to their
journey unnecessarily. When the subject was first premed
on his attention he endeavoured to consider how • road
might be made separate and distinct from other parts of the
perk, and with that view he had • plan prepared which he
Drought before the house in February last. But it being
almost impossible to make • permanent road which might
come into use on the let of May, he was induced to adopt
the alternative of • temporary read by appropriating •
attain portion of the Serpentine and Buttes-row for that
purpose. He was quite satisfied with the result of that
experiment, and he thought they could not do better than
adopt the same line of road permanently. (Hear, bear.)
Towards the close of last session he was sated by the her.
member for Finsbury whether he would continue the tem-
porary rood. He replied that he considered himself
pledged to shut it at the close of the Exhibition,
and to that pledge he scrupulously adhered. Now
that the question was again open for consideration, he was
prepared to my that it was his intention, when the repahe
were completed which were now proceeding in the Serpen-
tine-bridge—it had been found necessary to coat the bridge
with sultans, in order to prevent the percolation of water
through the stone—to renew the paths road in the same
direction in which it pseud last year ; believing that that
rood would provide the secommodatlen required with the
bast possible alteration in the general menta of the
park, and the least impediment to say Wars improvements.
The surface of the road was not changed. Mama. Morton,
of Liverpool, bad removed the wire knee which they left
ia it during the Exhibition, and that would have to be re.
placed by another. When that was lose the road would be
opened for carnage' and cab', but not for aide and °mai-
bums. (Hear, hear.)
