POLAND.

Letters from Warsaw depict in mournful colours
the zituation of all classes of the population in the
kingdom of Poland. Commercial credit is all but
destroyed, and mercantile houses in great numbers
are suspending payment. The mass of the people
live in terror of the conscription, and By from their
homes and country in the hope of escaping military
service. In the Prussian district of Olakuts no fewtr
than 102 truant Polish recruits were discovered in
March, end the same state of things is reported from
other districts bordering on Russia. These unhappy
men take no warning by the fat* of those whose
example they follow—like them they are seized by
the Prussian authorities and given back to the Czar.

THE POLICE CO URT&

BOW-STREET.
A welLdreseed young foreigner, who gave the name of
John Van Auden, was charged with stealing a gold watch,
worth 241., the property of Lieutenant Macleod Thornton,
of Stamford-road, De Beauvoir Town.
The prosecutor went to the Royal Italian Opera on the
night of the recent state visit of the Queen and her Impe-
rial guests, and while standing in the crowd at the entrance,
waiting for admission, he missed his watch, which he had
seen only a few minutes previously, and which had been
evidently detached from the guard by the ring being
wrenched off or broken. Re reported his lose to the
police, and the pawnbrokers of London were furnished the
next day with • description of the watch, its number,
and the maker's name. On the following Thursday the
prisoner presented himself at the shop of Mr. Folkard,
pawnbroker, of 1, Upton-place, Commercial-road East, and,
producing the gold watch in question, requested an advance
of 101. upon it. Mr. Folkard, having elicited from his
" that it was his own property," inquired why the ring or
handle of the watch was comocued of • different kind of
gold. The prisoner grew suddenly confused, and when he
saw the pawnbroker retorting to his book, to ascertain if it
did sot exactly correspond with the one which was stoles
from Lieut. Thornton, the prisoner made a bolt out of the
shop, and ran off with sU possible speed in the direction of a
bye street, where he entered a public-house, and tried to,
conceal himself in a water•closet. Re was closely pursued,
eeeee sr, by Mr. Folkard, and • constable of the K division,
by whom he was taken into custody. Se then said " The
watch was my own."
It appeared that on being subsequently searched at the
station-house, the prisoner was bound to have another gold
watch end massive gold chain, a gold ring, about thirteen
pounds in gold, and • meson ticket for the Crystal Palace,
in kis possession.
Inspector Mitchell informed the court that the prisoner
was given in charge about a year ago on suspicion of rob-
bing • gentleman at the Lyceum Theatre, and on that oc-
casion he had 111. in his possession. The charge, how-
ever, was not proceeded with. lie had reason to believe,
however, that the prisoner was convicted of a robbery at
the Great Exhibition of 1861. lie requested a remand for
I nether in qt, iry.
The prisoner was then committed on the present charge
for trial at the Westminster Sessions.

ELSINORE. APRIL 26.
Her Majesty's ship Magicienne, 18, Captain Van-
'Wart, got under weigh this morning, and proceeded
in search of her consorts to join the blockading
iquadron up the Baltic.
This afternoon the first Russian prize of the season
arrived here, where she remains for the present. It
is the Russian brig Pncenix, Captain Swensen, from
Revel to Stockholm, with a cargo of barley, and cap-
tured off the Island of Gothland by her Majesty's
ship Cossack, Captain Fanshawe. The crew are
transferred to the frigate, and the brig was navigated
to this port by a mate and prize crew of the Cossack.
As the cargo is liable to deteriorate by remaining on
board, I have reason to believe it will be immediately
lauded. No other movements of ships of war to
report.

THE INSURRECTION IN LITTLE RUSSIA.

Private letters from St. Petersburg confirm the
telegraphic announcement of the insurrection of the

peasants in the Ukraine, and state further, that it
has already extended to the governments of Poltawa,
Tchernigoff, and Kbarkoff. The names of twenty
landed proprietors whom the maddened moojdcs
have destroyed, together with their wives and chil-
dren, have reached St. Petersburg. M. Poletien,
one of the richest proprietors in the government of
Tchernigoff, was burnt alive in his country house at
Beletz. The same severe pressure caused by the war.
which has driven the peasants of Little Russia to insur-
rection, Is stated to be felt at St. Petersburg, where
every article of consumption is at famine price.—

SUCCESSFUL ENGAGEMENT
BEFORE SEBASTOPOL.

WAR DEPARTMENT, Ma. 4, 7 P.m.

Lord Penman presents his compliments to the
Editor of the Daily News, and has great pleasure in
transmitting the enclosed intelligence, which has
this day reached him :
" A sharp engagement took place on the night
of the let of May in front and left attack. The
whole of the Russian rifle pits were taken, 8 light
mortars, and 200 prisoners. The whole affair was
brilliant for the Allies."

CONTINUATION OF THE CONTEST.

(11T V

BEFORE SEBASTOPOL,
FRIDAY MORNING, MAY 4.

On the night of Wednesday last, May 2, the
French under General Pelimier having taken up a
position before the Quarantine Bastion, advanctd I
briskly upon the Bastion No. 4, attacked the ad-
vanced works which the Russians had raised to
protect that Bastion, and carried them at the point
of the bayonet.

In this attack the French took twelve mortars
from the enemy. The Engineers immediately omit-
pied the ground, and began to carry on a flying
sap. At daybreak they had succeeded in establish-
ing themselves in the conquered works.
Last night (Thursday) the Russians made a general
sortie, with the object of retaking the lost ground.
After a sanguinary combat they were driven back
(into the place.
Our losses have been great, but bear no propor-
tion to those of the enemy, nor to the advantages
gained.

This (Friday) morning the Russians hare neither
a man nor a gun outside the regular enclosure of
the plate.—Daily News.

The Malheur, of this morning (Saturday) pub-
lishes despatches from General Canrobert, dated May
2 and 3, in accordance with those of Lord Raglan, as
to the storming of the Russian works in front of the
Central Bastion, and the entirely futile efforts of the
enemy to retake the position.

A third edition of the Times contains a telegraphic
despatch from Vienna, dated to-day, as follows :
" The terms proposed by Austria for the accept-

ance of Russia are not satisfactory, but Austria is
likely to act on the offensive if they are not accepted.
" If the Western Powers agree to them Russia will
hardly do so."

From Constantinople, 3rd May, we learn that Red-
*chid Pacha, the Grand Vizier, has resigned, on ac-
count of the read of Mehemet Ali, and that Ali Pacha
leaves Vienna.

THE "HOME" IN THE EAST.

Yesterday the annual meeting of the friends and
supporters of this institution, which has for its object the
reformation of criminal boys under 18 years of age, was
held at the London Tavern, Ilishoprgate-street; the Eight
lion. the Earl of Busying:nen:or in the chair.
Mr. J. Bram, the secretary and governor of the Home,
read a very lengthy report, Irene which it appeared that
doting the year more commodious premien had been taken
at Old Ford, near Bow, at an outlay of 6001., of which sum
the committee had contributed 2161. During the past year
twelve boys had been provided with situations, and with two
exceptions are doing well ; the total number thus provided
for sines the formation of the home' is thirty-eight. The
present inmates number forty.eight, all of whom show
signs of progress. Of these sixteen have been in prison
once, fourteen twice, six three times, four four times. One
has been committed five times, another ten, and a third
twelve times. Of the whole there is only one who Is not
criminal. Little or no restraint is used, and many of the
boys are allowed to go to church alone. The industrial oc-
cupations of the boys at present are brush making, litho-
graphic printing, paper bag making, tailoring, shoemaking,
&a Several boys are ready to be placed out u soon as
situations can be found for them, and the present efficiency
of the institution warrants the expectation that the number
will be greatly increased during this year.
J. CILBNIS, Esq. read the treasurer's report, which shows
the receipts for the year to have been 6221. 4s. 5d., and the
expenditure 6101. Is. Id., leaving a balance in hand of
121. 34. 4d.
Upon the motion of the Rev. G. T. DRIFFIRLD, rector of
Bow, seconded by the Rev. S. MARTIN, the report was
adopted.
The committee and officers were also appointed for thl
ensuing year.
The Roo. Jolts ROBINSON then moved the following

IRELAND.

DUBLIN, Mason 6.
It was unanimously resolved, at the meeting of the
Corporation yesterday, that a congratulatory address
should be presented to the Earl of Carlisle on his
assuming the office of Lord Lieutenant of Ireland;
the Lord Mayer, who, it may be observed, belongs
himself to the Tory party, observing on the occasion
that he believed " he was quite safe in saying that few
noblemen had ever come to Ireland and met with a
reception denoting more unanimity than existed with
reference to the expected nobleman. They were
already acquainted with him there as a refined
gentleman, whose whole conduct had evinced a wish
to do good: therefore, he would be glad that they
paid him every mark of respect in their power.
A good deal of discussion followed on a proposi:.
tion to present an address to Lord St. Germans on
his departure, and it was finally only agreed upon on
the ground that if they wished to keep the office of
viceroy they should treat those who filled it with
proper respect."
An official letter has been received conveying a
point-blank refusal to a memorial of the Corporation
praying to have the hackney carriage rents of Dublin
applied towards the paving and cleansing of the

The preparations for the new Irish elections are
creating some interest. In Ennis, where the new
Solicitor-General is personally most popular, there is
no symptom whatever of opposition ; but in Athlone
a contest is still talked of, Mr. Ennis having been
canvassing there for the last two or three days, but
obviously without the slightest prospect of success.
Mr. Keogh, the Attorney-General, commenced his
canvass on Saturday, and has been received by the
electors with unbounded promises of support. The
utmost excitement in hfs favour prevails; and it is
very doubtful whether his opponent will appear on
the hustings. In Cavan also, where the retirement
of Sir John Young leaves a vacancy, great excite-
ment has been produced for the contending candi-
dates. Mr. Hughey, Q.C., who had been going
judge of aseize on the Leineter Circuit, left the Wex-
ford Assizes, and proceeded to the scene of action to
carry on his canvass. He is very popular, and his
opponent, Mr. Burroughs, has not yet taken the field
in person.

SITUATION OF THE HOSTILE ARMIES IN

THE CRIMEA.

The following article, by Colonel St. Ange,
formerly a staff officer of the French service, was
published yesterday in the Debuts:

. . 1
We wish to depict the respective situations of the belli
gerent parties in the Crimea, ea matters stood when the
news of the death of the Emperor Nacbolu would reach
them.

We think we may estimate the strength of the allies
encamped in the Crimea at 100,000 men, considering the
reinforcements continually sent during the lest month Iron
France and England, and taking also into account the
arrival of the two French divi.ions which had been left as a
reserve at Constantinople. The Ottoman army leader the
orders of Omer Pacha at Euratoris ought to present now an
effective force of 40,000 men. And as the sending of corps
or draehments by the three nations to the Crimea is goiog
on at this very moment, everythiog induces us to believe
that the 'wise strength of the allied troops will =lout to
160,000 men in the couss of the present month of Much.
The Remiss army can hardly attain the same figure
brfore it shall have received the last reinforoments sent
through Perekop by the routes of Ode.., Nikolaisf, and
Khorron. This army does nest appear at this moment to
amount to 100,000 me, inclusive of the garrisons in Sebas-
topol and the other svongholda of the Crimea It can
only dispcee of about sixty or sixty five thousand men for
say strategical operation. This explains its total in-
action since the battle of Interns's, where it
brought into the Sold 45,000 men, who were beaten
with surresas loss, as any be well numbered. It is an

HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY OF LONDON.

The second spring meeting of the society took
place, at their rooms, in Regent-street, yesterday. The
show of flowers did not strike us as being equal to that
at the last meeting, a month ago, although it may be possi-
ble that the inferiority was more imaginary than real. The
contrast in February last between the desolation without
and the luxuriance and beauty within the rooms of the
society rendered the spectator particularly susceptible to the
attractions of the flowers. On a worm sunny day in March
flowers are looked upon more as a thing of course. There

was enough on the tables yesterday to satisfy the most fas-
tidious connoisuur in flowers and fruit. The orchids en the
centre table were magnificent. There we. a remarkable
specimen of this clue from New Holland, the only one, we
believe, that has been received from that country. There
was a rich phalrenopsis aniabilis, with thick clusters of
flowers hanging along a thin flexible stem, which wound
round the head of May Queen would have formed of itself
a fitting coronet. Tulips, hyacinth", camellia, azaleas,
cinerarias, primulas, and other flowers were exhibited in
abundance. The pines and the grapes were the finest we
have seen. The bunches of the latter from Woburn were
more beautiful than any that Lanes ever painted. The
meeting was well attended.
At two o'clock the chair was taken by .1. M. STRACIILN,
Esq., and the usual business of the society was then pro-
ceeded with. Among the company were the Right Hon.
the Speaker, the Earl of Docie, Sir Philip De M. Grey
Egerton, But., Sir Charles Lemon, But., Lady Harriet
Clive, and the Countess de Salim.
The next meeting was announced for Tuesday, April 3.

The people of Drogheda, Balbriggan, sad other

about renewing their efforts to procure the construe.

portion of the Irish coast. A numerous and inflow

has just been held at Drogheda, and a resolutioa
requesting Mr. *Cann, M.P. for that tows, to in-
troduce the subject in parliament next session, was
unanimously adopted. The greater number of the
vessels lost on that coast belonged, it was ointsrud,
to English and Scotch ports, so that it is incumbsst
on the maritime bodies of the three countries to
bring their united influence to bear on the question.
