Treasury Chambers, 16th June, 1866.
Sir,—The Lords Commissioners of her Majesty's Trea-
sury have had under their consideration • latter addressed
by Count L. Zamoyaki to the Chancellor of the Exchequer,
dated 3rd April last, together with a memorandum pre-
sented to Lord Palmerston on the subject of the condition
of the Polish refugees who have some to this country in con-
sequence of the repent insurrection in Poland, stating their
extreme distress, and suggesting that means should be
taken for affording them relief under approved regulations.
My lords direct me to inform you that, in consideration
of the state of destitution in which it has been represented
that many of these refugees here recently arrived in this
country, and the great privations under which it is stated
that they are actually suffering, they will not be indis-
posed to afford some relief, to be confined, however, to the
refugees who have cane to this country in consequence of
the repeat insurrection in Poland. And means have been
taken to make such preliminary iaquiries as appear noose-
sary, by the appointment by this board of a committee,
with Major Charles asolimewaki aa their secretary. It will
be the business of the committee to ascertain, as far as pos-
sible, the number, names, and condition of such of the
Poles, who, having become refugees in this country to eon-
sequence of the suppression of the insurrection in Poland last
year, have arrived here prior to the date of this letter, and
have failed to find employment, or who have lost it co
account of old age or sickness. It being understood that
relief is to be afforded in these oases to such only as would
come under the regulations laid down in 1849. I sun
further to state that when my lords have before them
the report of the committee, they will be able to take
further mamma in the matter. I am, in conclusion,
directed to add, that as numerous applications have re-
cently been received at this office from Polish refugees
whose cases cannot be considered to come within the limits
laid down for the present inquiry, my lords would be glad
if the Literary Association of the Friends of Poland would
take steps to inform the Polish emigrants of the nature of
thine cases which elope will form the subject of inquiry.—
, 1 remain, sir, your obedient wreak

INSPECTION OF THE LONDON RIFLE BRIGADE...-.
Oa Saturday evening the London Bide Brigade, ten eom-
ponies strong, was invented in Hyde-park by the honorary
colonel of the regiment, the Duke of Cambridge, in the
presence of the Prins of Wales. The Prince was bosom-
puled by the Duke de Brabant, Colonel Keppel, and the
Hon. Coining Lindsay. The regiment marched into an ex-
cellent square. kept by the Ist Barmy, under Major Irvine,
and, having received the duke and staff with military
bonours—eamely, in line in review order—broke into open
column and matched pest in quick time, afterwards in close
column, and then, having changed front by the wheel of
eniviivisioas, the companies went by at the double,
all of which movements were loudly applauded. The
usual movements of a battalion were then gone
through, and were executed with cornotnees and precision.
The advance in line and royal salute having bean given,
the Duke of Cambridge congratulated men sad allure on
having passed a meet satisfactory inspection, which, he said,
was not superior to last year's, because nothing could be
better than that was ; but he remarked upon the feet that
the advice he gave on that occasion that the members'
hair should be out short, had been attended to, and he was
proud to say the Prince of Wales had noticed this
fact, in giving his opinion upon the emend
smartness of the carpi. The duke then paid a
welldeeerved compliment to Colonel Wards for the
meow in which he had handled the brigade, and eon-
eluded by
.raying that while matters of detail were attended
to the ;regiment would continue to be one of the smartest,
of cot the smartest, regiment of volunteers. Three hearty
cheers were then given for his royal highneee, who, with his
staff, then left the ground. the Prince of Wale, having left
