approaching visit to France suggested the decree
is probable enough, and France, or at least
that liberal France which has never deserted the
cause of Poland, deserves our congratulations. If
we count it an honour that the slave who touches
English ground is free, our neighbours may
surely consider it an honour that a CzLR who
conies to France inaugurates his journey to-
wards Western Europe by a propitiatory sacri-
fice on the altar of mercy. It appears that on
the morning after his arrival in Paris the CZAR
hastened to bear to the Empress Ecoms the good
tidings of the decree he had signed at St. Petersburg.
Cynics say that there is an exquisite self-in-
dulgence in some acts of kindness. We would
rather say of the present act that it is equally
honourable to its author, and to the Im-
perial lady to whom he announced it as the
most welcome satisfaction to her gentle and
pious heart. The Empress Euossis has doubt-
less often grieved to hear of the sufferings of the
imprisoned and banished Polish insurgents, but her
sympathies as a devout and fervent Catholic have
probably been still more deeply shocked by the
sufferings of the priests who were martyrs at once
of their country and of their faith. This amnesty
will have consoled and cheered her ; to speak
of it as a delicate flattery would be a most
indecorous misinterpretation of such a mes-
sage of good will. Our contemporary Le Temps
justly observes that this amnesty is but an act of
" partial reparation." The merciless denationali-
zation and expropriation of the Polish Kingdom
pursues its course uninterrupted by an occasional
pardon of prisoners and exiles. And the condi-
tions which the decree attaches to the enjoyment
of the amnesty leave to the arbitrary discretion of
the authorities an opportunity of excluding many
from its operation. Let us, however, put the best
construction we can upon an act praiseworthy in
itself, in spite of all limitations and re-
strictions. Above all things, let us abstain
from impertinent Pharisaic attacks upon
the Russian Government for not being so
merciful and tender-hearted as some Governors
of Jamaica. There are recollections not very re-
mote, and circumstances too close at hand which
should warn 118 for the present to he content with
the supposition that when the Emperor ALEX-
ANDER signed this amnesty for the Poles he had
heard of the commutation of sentences in Ireland.

NEWSVENDOItte BENEVOLENT AND PROVIDENT
INSTITUTION.—Last evening the annual dinner in aid of
the funds of this institution took place at the Freemasons'
Tavern, Great Queen-street, Lincoln's-inn-fields; Mr. W.
H. Smith in the chair. There were about 110 ladies and
gentlemen present, and amongst them were Mr. Danby
Seymour, M.P., Mr. Edmund Yates, Mr. R. J. Wood (the
founder of the institution), Mr. Charles Gruneisen, Mr.
F. Chapman, Mr. Henry Smith, Mr. John Hodge, Mr.
Smug Spalding, Mr. Pierce Egan Captain Mayne Reid,
Mr. Heury.lllackett, &e. The Chairman having discharged
his duty in reference to the routine toasts proposed
" l'roeperity tothe Institution," observing that it was a
society very little known to the public, and he was afraid
very little known to the newsvendors themselves.
At the same time it could not be doubted that it presented
very strong claims upon the trade for its support,
as well as upon the press itself and the public at large, he
therefore appealed most earnestly to the benevolent con-
sideration of the company present ; and he did so upon
these grounds, that of all occupations that of the news-
vendor was probably one which taxed to a larger extent
than any other the energies of those who followed it.
They discharged their duties under circumstances of con-
siderable hardship and difficulty, and which sometimes led
to the breaking down of the person who pursued the occu-
pation. He need hardly say, therefore, how incumbent it
was upon the newsreaders to lay by money toprovide against
sickness, misfortune, and death; and he believed he might
say that it was equally incumbentupon those who supplied
the contents of the newspapers to lend a helpinghand to the
individual, through whose agency news was so widely
/Mimed. In his judgment the newsagents of this country
afforded a medium of circulation cheaper and better than
could be supplied by any other system that might be
brought into existence. This being so, he conceived that
newavendore had fair claims to the support of the public,
especially when it was considered that the sole amount of
stock the society possessed was 2,500/., out of which seven
pensioners were paid M. a year each. This left three
deserving applicants unprovided for, and he sincerely
trusted that the meeting of that night would result in
enabling the society to extend its useful operations. Sub-
scriptions were afterwards announced amounting to about
SOW., a much larger sum than the society has heretofore
collected.

Mr. Frith's picture of the marriage of the Prince 11
and Princess of Wale. (the property of the Queen) is now
being exhibited at a Fine Art Gallery in the Haymarket, ao
that those who were unable to see it in the Academy,
owing to the then crowded state of the rooms, have now
an opportunity of doing so.
THE COLLECTION OF THE LATE JOHN PHILLIP,
R.A.—The costumes, artistic accessories, old carved fund-
Lure, bronzes, books of prints, photographs and engravings,
ke., were disposed of yesterday and the preceding days, at
the rooms of Mews. Christie, Manson, and Woods. The
proceeds of the entire collection amounted to 18,500/. In
the great sale of Saturday lot 347, entitled simply " The
Cr.ulle," was a commission from her Majesty. It was an
interior of a Highland cottage • a mother sitting by the
side of a cradle, anxiously watching over hersleeping
child—
the light coming in from a window over the head of the
cradle with charming effect ; a small cabinet work of the
most exquisite quality. It was purchased by Messrs.
Agnew, of Waterloo-place, expreasly for her Majesty, and
was forwarded yesterday to Buckingham-palace, together
with a beautiful drawing of Bmetuar (lot 2.52), in water
colours—also a commission from her Majesty—a drawing
made by Phillip on the spot.
SPEECH DAY AT ETON.—The annual delivery of
I speeches, and the accustomed festivities connected there-
with, was celebrated yesterday in the presence of a large
assemblage. Formerly, when the Derby-day or the first
day of Ascot Races happened to fall on the 4th of Jane,
the college authorities have occasionally postponed the
day, in deference to the wishes :,f visitors and the many
old Etonian' who were in the habit of meeting on these
occasions. This year, however, it was considered unneces•
nary to postpone the day, and consequently at 11 o'clock
in the forenoon the Great and South Western lines of
railway on their arrival at Windsor were unusually
thronged with visitors to the college as well as to the
course. At half-past 11 the procession of the
college dignitaries entered the upper schoolroom,
the galleries of which were crowded with the
aristocracy, and the recitations were delivered.
The delivery occupied about an hour and a half, and the
interval before the banquet in the college hall, which took
place at four o'clock, was spent in inspecting the beautiful
chapel, ancient manuscripts, and choice volumes of the
library, under the guidance of Mr. Howse. There was
then a promenade in the shooting fields to the music of
the fine band of the Soots Fusilier Guards, although
the frequent showers of the morning bad ren-
dered the ground unfavourable. At seven o'clock
the Brocas became unusually crowded to wit-
ness the starting of the crews to "Old Surly."
On the arrival at Surly-hall, a splendid al fresco, or what
is now termed a Surly-hall supper, awaited the crew.
After drinking the customary toasts, the boats were re-
manned, and the crews returned to Windsor-bridge, ar-
riving there shortly after 9 o'clock, when a brilliant dis-
play of fireworks was discharged from the Eyot by Mr.
Fenwick, of Lambeth, whilst the crews rowed round seve-
ral times in the presence of the numerous spectators which
lined the banks of the Thames.

THE MEETING OF THE ROYAL AGRICULTURAL
SociEnr.—Tboeo who are familiar with such exhibitions
are aware that in spite of the great drawback originally
fe.ired from the exclusion of cattle, the meeting as a whole
will display a marked superiority over any previous one.
Not only will the show of implements and machinery in
motion be unprecedented in extent—so large indeed that
had cattle been allowed on the ground the society would
have found itself at a loss for room—while a magnificent
show of horses will go far towards snaking up the
deficiency in live stock, but the arrangements
for the accommodation of the society, the exhibitors,
and the visitors generally will be a great improvement
upon those of any of the preceding shows, and are likely
to be pronounced Si near perfection as they could possibly
be consistently with the temporary and migratory character
of the exhibition. When to this is added the presence of
the Rnynl Horticultural Society's superb display in the
immediate vicinity, in providing for which no less fore-
thought has been exercised to ensure that the first visit
of this great metropolitan society to the provinces shall be
thoroughly successful, our readers will be able to appreciate
the grounds for anticipating an incursion of visitor, such
as the Royal Agrioaltnral Society has never before brought
to any town.—Barg and Nomad' Post.

Atmospherical pressure Is lessthan-it was yesterday, especially
In the north-west, and is still decreasing. Winds on the north
coast are south-easterly, elsewhere they are south-westerly with
increased force. A gold deal of rain has fallen In the went, and
thunder and hall are reported on Cue east coast.

The Nord says :—" The Sultan will be escorted
by a part of his Guard, whose uniform is most brilliant.
Abdul Asir will also bring three of his favourite saddle-
horses—one white, one a light liver-colour and spotted,
and the third an ebony-black. The Sultan rides on the
old high-peaked saddle of the Caliphs, with gold trap-
ping.. A purple cloth covers the honors croup, and the
gold tassels are supported by persons of his suite. He is
very simple, and nearly always in plain clothes. He his
suppressed the diamond aigrette which formerly adorned
his fez, according to traditional custom. Abdul Aziz is of
ordinary height, and very active and robust. Whilst at
Paris he will probably, at reviews and official fetes, wear
his State costume."

A letter from St. Petersburg says :—" The
winter seems reluctant to quit us. Communications with
Cronstadt are scarcely re-establised. while those between
that port and Oranionbaum are effected with difficulty
through the floating ice. Accounts received from the pro-
montory of Krasuida-Gerka, however, state that the open
sea is free."

The approaching arrival in France of Muley-
Abbas, brother of the Emperor of Morocco, and charged
to represent that sovereign, is announced. He is ex-
pected to leave Tangier early in July with a brilliant suite.
THE CHOLERA AT BUENOS AYRES. —LIVERIVOL,
TUESDAT.—A telegram was yesterday received here, dated
Buenos Ayres, April 26. The cholera was increasing. The
Paraguayan army had departed from their encampments
at Cunsa and Tuytia in consequence of the cholera. The
plague had increased to a fearful extent, and the average
deaths in two days were about 2,700. The Argentine por-
tion of Brazils was quiet. The Brazilian authorities had
ordered all their troops into " saleveros" until the cholera
had subsided. The Argentine government had concluded
a loan with the River Plate Bank for 130,00 W. So fearful
were the ravages of the cholera in Buenas Ayres that
10,000 " feies " took place every night in the city, 1114 a
kind of preventive against the disease.
