A letter from Warsaw of the 19th says :
There have again been distarbsnose here. Most of the
Jewish shopkeepers are accustomed to keep their establish-
ments open on Saturday, though that day is their Sabbath,
Jnd to close them on Stoutly. last Saturday, a band of
ewish boys and vagabonds, pretending to be indignant at
this violation of Israelite usages, broke the windows of se-
ver.il shops. The police did nut interfere, but a number of
respectable iubabitauts collected, and dispersed the per-
turbators. The neat day, placards, declaring that any per-
sons musing disturbances would be considered traitors to
the country, wore posted up. Nevertheless, the windows
of a shopkeeper, named Zamorski, were broken because he
was suspected of being a police spy ; so likewise WM those
of a Gerhian, named Wedel, a ooefectioner, because he had
refused to attend a religious service which the persons
of his trade had celebrated for the victims of the
114th August. The shop of a baker, named Beets, was
sacked on account of a report having been spread that he
had ill.trented his son for wearing the P.dish costume, and
a crowd assembled before the shop of a soapmaker, with
the intention of sucking it also, but were prevented by seve-
ral respectable citizens. In the fear that other excesses
might Ise committed, the authorities at last sent detach.
mentos of troops to different parts of the town, and the
people were made to disperse. In one street, however, •
number of parsons stopped a man suspected of being a secret
police agent, and were shout to ill-treat him, but on the ex.
bortatiou of • Capuchin monk, who happened to corns up,
they let him go. The next day the clergy in the different
churches recommended the people to be calm ; and placards,
containing similar 0011111101, were stock up in all the streets
and squares.
Another letter from Warsaw of the same date
says :

The hesitation which was manifested in choosing the
principal functionary of the municipality has at last ommed,
General Lewicski a nomination to the presidency of the city
being now a fact. This choice will, it is thought, satisfy
public opinion. The general is an estimable man in every
respect. As a member of the delegation in these latter
times, he tun, in spite of his great age and of the moderation
of his character' displayed much firmness and devotedneadevotedness.A
proposition has been made to IL. Michael Lewinski, bro-
ther of the general, to enter the Commbaion of Internal
Affairs as associate of Gerstenzweig, Director-General, but
lie has refused to consent, except on these cooditions—the
removal of all the military governors, the dismissal of Rua
sians from places they occupy in the kingdom of Poland, no
one to be imprisoned more than twenty-four hours without
being interrogated, and all citizens to be tried according to
law. Such conditions as these are not likely to facilitate
his appointment to the position offered him ; nevertheless,
negotiations are still going on.

At the sitting of the court Sir James Duke appmred to

makers.

Mr. Nakao said that Sir James Duke was also on the list
of the Salters' Company, and it was n question for the con.
midi:ration of the court whether a person should be entitled
to be on the lists of more than one conipauy. He did not
mean to ca,.t any imputation ou Sir James, but
it was quite evident that if a name could be
on more than one electoral list of liverymen,
great facilities would be afforded for personatien. From
the information he had received on the point, a parson sir.
cumatanc.4 like the worthy baronet was booed to select
one company, and have his name on the list of that coin.
pany only.
tar. Ledger said that the only question to be
considered by the court was, whether Sir James
Duke was a liveryman of the Specticletuaker: Com.
piny ; it was quite immaterial whether lie hap.
pened to be also a member of the Salters' or any
other emptily. The act of 6th Victoria made ample pro-
vision for cases of personation. Agent.", wero to attend
specifically in referent* to such WWI, awl then) was a see..

The Revising Barrister did not think be hail any jurisdic-

list of the Spectacleonakene ronimay, of which be found
Sir James Duke was returned as a freeman. So long as he
was thus qualified it. did not seem to be within the lower of
the court to expunge his name from the register.
Mr. Nokes requested the court to withhold its decision
until the opinion of Mr. Secondary Potter could be had on
the point.
The Revising Barrister seceded to the request.
Sir J. Duke said that he had been a member of the
Spectacle-maker's Company for thirty years. Mr. Nukes
had consented to withdraw his objection to his name being
retained on the list of that company and take the objection
to Lis name being retained on the Sidteis
Yr. Sidney Smith said that by the course now suggested
a man might lose his vote altogether, as if he were to nuke
his choice of one company, through sonic informality or
other circumstances, his name might be dropped out of that
bd.

Court—Was the objection ever made before?
fair J. Duke WWI not aware that such au objection had
been ever made.

Mr. Nokea said that according to the custom of the city
of London, a man who proposed to take out a freedom for
• sewed centrally would be restrained from doing so.
The Revising Barrister—But is it not the fact that
gentlemen take out the freedom of different companies?
Mr. Nokes said that though this was the fact, by the law
it should not be permitted.
Mr. Sewell, Clerl to the Chamber, and also clerk of the
Lorimer) and Spectacle-makers' Companies, said that it
had been decided by former barristers, that a person's name
could not appear on the second list. It was hardly
ever known that a person was to have his name on more
than one list. It was never intended that a man should be
a member of more than one craft.

Mr. Ledger 5...1 that Mr. Sewell spoke of the custom of
the City as be found it, hot it might change with the views
of different courts. Mr. Sewell himself had, as clerk to the
chamber, admitted Sir James as being member of more than
one company.
After some further discussion' it was decided that Sir
James's name should be retained on the Spectacle-makers'
list, and that the decision of the court should be given on
the revision of the Salters' list.

like a public reception. He state I that his visit was in
accordance with a preconceived resolution—perma-
nently formed on his last visit—to place his sou

Dots men IN Averata.—The following deplorable
affair occurred on the 17th lust. at Enos. On the evening
of that day young Count Almasy, lieutenant iu the Volun-
teer Hussar Regiment, and who was quartered there, en-
tered the public room of the much frequented inn the Black
Eagle, where a great number of guests were assembled. All
the sects were occupied, and, in his usual lively manner, he
naked the waiter fora chair. Before the man could bring
it the count observed a meant chair close to a lieutenant
of the same regiment, whose name is not mentioned, and he
fen thwith seized it and pulled it quickly away ; but, as the
lieutenant was portly using the chair, its sudden removal
caused him to fell upon the ground. The consequence of
this was angry discussion betweeu the two otticere, and
the lieutenant, who held himself insulted by the tinceree
mouious snatching away of the chair, challenged the young
count to • duel with sabres. This forthwith took place,
and the count received such desperate cuts that he died
eight hours afterwards. He was buried vestenlay at Eons
with great sole' iiii ity. The position of his adversary. who
was slightly wounded, cannot be considered very enviable.
The parents of the slain man were forthwith informed of
their son's fate by telegraph. —Lircer Abeßdbac
SEAMEN AND ST/1/131 WARNINOS.—NOW that the
winter months are approaching, the storm signals which
are sent down by the Marine Department of the Board of
Trade, through Rear Admiral Fitzroy, when led weather is
threatening, are attracting a good deal of attention wow
seafaring people in the north of England. On Saturday
the drum was hoisted in Shields harbour, denoting that
dangerous winds might be expected from nearly opposite
quartets successively. On Monday the drum was Kaki
hoisted, denoting the same source of danger, and on Tues-
day, at 4.15 p.m, a telegram was received from Admiral
Fitzroy. "Hoist drum, and cone below, point down," in-
dicating dangerous winds from the south. The result of all
this, if acted upon, would have been that the vessels ready
for sea would have kept in harbour. But as on Sunday the
weather was mild and the sea smooth, and as on Moeda/
and Tuesday it was blowing au "off-shore" wind, vessels
ready proceeded on their voyages. On Monday morning,
between 2 o'clock and daybreak, a fearful gale, wean!.
penied with heavy rain, raged in the North Sea. but, as it
blew off shore, vessels off the Durham and Yorkshire coasts
escaped. The wind hgving got round to N.E., a fleet of
vessels "over-due" were arriving in the Tyne and ether
north east pow. from the Baltic and North of Europe on
Tuesday and Wednesday.
