practically useful. It was not s Royal
Commission that be insisted upon, but that
Government should institute without delay a
strict inquiry into the means of finding employ-
ment for the 72,000 able-bodied men out of the
420,000 people now subsisting on charity. For
this is the knot of the great Lancashire difficulty.
Bow is this immense multitude to be sustained in
idleness for an indefinite period I How are these
able-bodied men to be preserved from demoraliza-
tion ? Is emigration to be promoted or assisted by
Government? These and other anxious questions
are pressing for an answer. One winter is over,
but the next—bow shall we meet another, and
another ! The PRESIDENT of the POOR-LAW BOARD
does not affect surprise at the impatience and
anxiety of the public mind, which the present
condition of Lancashire provokes. But he be-
lieves a Royal Commission to be too cumbersome
and dilatory a process for the emergency. It
might fill a volume with results of inquiries
which have been already completed, and
with " information " which the Government
and the public sufficiently possess. The
most urgent need is to organize a system of
public works for the employment of the able-
bodied. Emigration is not to be opposed ; but
it will be a bad time indeed when it becomes the
duty of the Government to assist it. So Govern-
ment proposes to send down a civil enkineer and
staff to see at once what employment can be
found on public works for these 72,000 able-
bodied men. The results of this inquiry may
be ascertained within a month, and thus the
chief strain upon the charity of the country be
relieved, and the danger of demoralization be
arrested. To this decision Colonel Wiceow
Parren, speaking with authority on the part
of the Central Committee, gives his cordial
assent What is wanted at this moment is the
organization of a system of employment for
the able-bodied workmen. The shortest and
speediest manner of solving this problem
will be the best No one asks for a
Royal Commission, if, as we daresay they
can and will, a civil engineer and his staff can do
in a month what a Royal Commission would take
three months to compile s volume of superfluous
" information" upon. Colonel Wrinon Parrrxr, in
his very interesting speech last evening, explained
as clearly as possible the impossibility of a
Central Committee, working through 120 sub-
committees of voluntary agents, to organize a
system of labour as well as to administer relief.
It is easy to point out work to be done, but how
to do it—in other words, how it shall be paid for,
is another question. As to emigration, it is im-
possible to lend full assistance to those willing to
go without injustioe to those who remain behind
dependent on charity for support. The whole
question is beset with enormous and increasing dif-
ficulties ; but in appointing a working commission to
organizes system of employment for the ablo-
bodied, Mr. Vittizza is, we believe, faithful to
the true functions of a responsible Government
He is doing next what is next to be done. No
government that does not pretend to be a Second
Providence can safely or advantageously do more.

LAT&BT INTSLLIQUOL

POLAND.

The Augsburg Omens publishes a document,
which it gives as the text of the despatch ad-
dressed by M. Drouyn de Lhuys to the French am-
bassador at St. Petersburg, colitaining the repro-
kentations of the French government relative to
Polish affairs. The only difference, however, be-
tween this document and the version which was
published by the Pays is that the former is given in
the first person, while the other was rendered in an
analytical and indirect form.
The Debats of to-day contains a long article
founded upon correspondence from Vienna,
treating of the negotiations with Austria previously
to her joining England and France in a representa-
tion to Russia respecting Polish affairs. The
greater part of these letters is occupied with a
professed statement of the part which was taken by
England. This correspondence asserts that Eng-
land attempted, but in vain, to induce Austria to
urge upon the cabinet of St. Petersburg the execu-
tion, so far as Poland is concerned, of the treaties
of 1815. It is believed at Vienna that Russia in-
tends to forward a sort of memorandum to the
three courts, setting forth the present organisation
of Poland, the changes during the last seven years,
and the further reforms which it is proposed to in-
troduce when the present insurrection is sup-
pressed.

RUSSIA.
BOLD FEAT OF THE CIRCASSIAN&

The last advice. from Circaisia bring news of a
bold feat of the Circassian. It seems that the
Grand Duke Michael lately visited Anapa. Thence
he went to Fort Abl43, upon the Circassian fron-
tiers. He then proposed to visit Fort Chebiz.
Learning this intention the Circassian cavalry
formed the daring project of carrying
him off. They attacked his force, and, after
a very desperate combat, the Russians were
discomfited. The grand duke escaped almost
by • miracle, and succeeded only with
the greatest difficulty in escaping into Fort
Chebiz. The Russians lost in this engagement
a number of officers and soldiers, and also a quan-
tity of arms and ammunition. At the date of the
last accounts, the Circassian had assembled in
great force at a small distance from the fort.

PRUSSIA.

The Cologne Gazette of the 25th says :

Dr. Bross, our chief editor, has just been arrested be-
muse he mimed to disclose the name of the author of a
letter from Dentate, which we published in December last,

exactly as the commonest prisoner. His watch, money,
he., ware not only taken from him, bat he is prevented
from procuring food or wine from without ; it was even
with great difficulty that he could procure paper and a
The above incident created great sensation
throughout the Rhenish provinces. A later ac-
count states that Dr. Kruse has been released by
the judges at Cologne, who have before shown their
independence of the crown.
Advioes from the Hague state that Count Oriolla,
the Prussian Minister at that place, has been
seized with mental alienation. This is the second
case of the kind which has occurred in the Prussian
diplomatic body in less than a year, the other
being that of K de Kaunita, who represented King
William L at Rome.

THE LONDON, CHATHAM, AND DOVER RAILWAY
AID THt GRUNWICH 018ZRVATORT.—This morning a fur-
ther report of the Astronomer Royal regarding the probable
effect at the Observatory of the proposed extension of the
London, Chatham, and Dover Railway through Greenwich
Park was issued. We may state briefly that what Professor
Airy now proposes, after the must careful investigation
and experiment', as sufficient for the protection of the
Royal Observatory, is—that it be required that the railway
pass through the perk in a tetanal ; that the railway take
the course through the park &flood by the red line on •
map which has been prepared, the rails being on continuous
bearing ; that the average speed of each and every train
while passing through the park be limited by clause in the
act of parliament to the rate of twelve miles an hour ; and
that by clause in the act of parliament summary legal pro-
cess be defied for the enforcement of that limitation.
THE COST OF 001 IRON-CLADS.—From a return
Wined this morales we learn that the oast of the iron-plated
ships sines the Warrior had been as follows :—The Black
Prince, 373,8991. ; the Resistance, 257,8481. ; and the
Defence, 232,8981. We may here state that the whole cost
of the Wearier, befogs being ready for see, is now karma ;
it amounts to 377,3731. ; the principal difference between
the cost of the Warrior and that of the Black Prince being
in the item of masts and yards, rigging and stores.
MRSIBIRS OF TEI ESTABLISHED CHURCH LY IRE-
LAND.—It appears from a parliamentary return which was
boned this morning that the total number of members of
the Irish established church in 1834 was 863,160 ; in 1861
it was 691,872.
PAPEE AND RAM—Statistical returns issued this
morning give the following particulars as to the imports and
exports of paper and rags. Within the lad seven years the
imports of rags and paper in the United Kingdom have been
as follows :—ln 1856, 10,287 tone of nags, 15,767 oda.
of foreign paper; 1867, 12,206 tons of rags, 12,067 owts. of
paper ; 1858, 11,394 tons of rags, 11,701 meta of paper ;
1859,14,621 tons of legs, 18,338 eels. of paper ; 1860,
16,154 tons of rags, 45,019 wets. of paper ; 1861, 20,486
lofts of rags, 94,358 carts. of paper ; 1862, 23,943 tons of
rap, 193,639 cuts, of paper. Thus the imposts of rags
have more than doubled since 1856, while the imports of
foreign paper have increased since that period by 177,872
owe". The exports of British paper in 1858 were 106,567
cite. ; 1869, 126,451 ; 1860, 112,514 ; 1861, 91,958 ; 1862,
129,440.
On Thursday Sir John Pakington will sal the Se-
cretary to the Admiralty, whether the board have considered
the necessity of some revival of • School of Naval Architec-
ture ; and whether, in the event of such an institution being
established on • basis approved by the board, they would be
disposed to extend to it encouragement and support.
Mr. Lefroy will ask the First Lord of the Tree-
sary,on Thursday, if sayer the five colonial bishoprios,which
have been vacant, have been offered to any of the Irish
clergy.
We read in the City article of the Times :—" The
public will be glad to learn that the difficulties occasioned
by the recent jams by Mr. Adams of the certificate or pass
to Xmas. Howell and Zirman are likely to be smoothed
down. It is reported that Mr. Adams is conscious of having
acted in the matter upon imperfect representations and with
undue haste, and that, consequently, he raises no preen.
dons such as would necessitate any absolute protest from
one government to the other on the subject. It is, there-
fore, believed that the relations between our cabinet and
the United &atm' legation in London will continue on •
friendly footing—a result which in a personal sense will
afford unmixed satisfaction, since the individual and histo-
rical claims of Mr. Adams to respect sod esteem have never
been disputed in any quarter."
The Empress Eugenie is taking great interest per-
sonally in preparing Fontainebleau for the Prime and Princess

culiar to France. The old friend of the Emperor, Count
Arese, bas meet a Venetian gondola, which will be placed on
the waters of the magnificeut garden.
The Austrian Gazette of the 24th states that two
ladies of the demimonde of Salzburg have just bees arrested
at Brennan for obtaining money under false pretences. They
had dressed themselves as nuns, and made a collection for •
convent in Bavaria. They called on the Mlle. who gave
them a handsome sum, and invited them to take refresh-
ment. They were arrested just as they had resumed their
crinolines and were entering • restaurant to enjoy them-
selves with • part of the produce of their collection.
It is reported that amongst the financial expe-
dienta about to be resorted to by the Greek government is
the re-imposition of the export duty on currants, which was
abolished in 1860. Currants are the most important product
of the country, the exports averaging 60,000 toes • year,
and the value of that portion of the crop which is consumei
in this country is more time seven-eighths of that of
all the impede from the Greek kingdom. As there is
practically no competition, and it has been found that
DO increase of price up to J3d. per pound has a material
effect in diminishing consumption, the Greek financiers
estimate the annual yield of an export duty of 10a. per owe
at 600,0001.

which he was committing.
The Lord Chief Justice said that it was extremely im.
portant that the rights of attornies should not be invaded,
and that writs should not be issued by irresponsible men;
but he thought that the prisoner had now fully tweed this,
