TILE .POLISII REFUGEE LEOPOLD DE

ROSE.

The following correspondence, which has taken
place bet ween two of the Justices of the Peace for the
county c,f Hants, and Lord Dudley Stuart, respecting
the PoF,,sh refugee Leopold de Rose, was read in tho
House of Commons yesterday by the Noble Lord :
From, one of the Justices of the Peace for the
county of Hants :

"June 2, 1852.
"My Lord,—l had a visit yesterday from Lieutenant
Chas. Szalezewski and Mr. Do Rose. The former came
to make inquiries of me respecting Mr. De Rose's im-
prisonment for begging, &c. I can only say I consider
he lia,s beon shamefully used by Captain
Hamilton, who resided at Anglesey, near Gos-
port, and who is now appointed to a ship at Wool-
wich. My brother magistrate, Dr. Hillyer, could do no
more th,:m imprison Mr. De Rose, as Captain Hamilton
swore, ghat be wandered abroad to bog and gather alms
contrary to the form of the Statute in such case made,
&c., &e. Now it does appear to Y‘ne to be a very extra-
ordinary thing that Mr. Do Rose, should beg-of Captain
Hamilton, when I well know that Mr. De Rose could
get Si. or 101. whenever he liked to ask for it, by writ-
ing to a neighbour of mine, one of the first families in
the county, but he has never done so. Moreover the
policeman took Mr. De Rose into custody, without a
warrant and without seeing him ask alms.
" I am, my Lord,
" Your obedient servant.
" To Lord Dudley Stuart, M.P."

mlssioner, and now auditor of the accounts of the
quardians of the poor at Gosport, Portsmouth, and

" Gosport, Time 26, 1852.
g, My Lord,--At the request of my excellent friend the
Mayor of Southampton, I have felt great pleasure in ac-
companying Lieutenant Charles Saulczewski and Mr.
Leopold Do Rose to the several places of abode of Mr.
Tilston, Mr. Wyatt, Mr. Bicien, Captain Blake, Mr.
Meggs, Mr. Welch, Miss Slane, and Miss Nott, all of
whom I have known for many years as most highly re-
spectable people. And I can assure your Lordship that
I have heard with great delight the testimony which
each of those ladies and gentlemen gave to the character
and deportment of Mr. Leopold De Rose, who, although
reduced to the necessity of offering his articles for sale,
always did so with the marked conduct of a highly
honourable man and a gentleman. He was immediately
recognised by each, was most pleasantly received by
all, and deeply sympathised with for the manner in
which he had been treated, which, as some did not
hesitate to state, was " a diFgrace to the country."
offered him two shillings for an article of one shilling
value, which ho most honourably declined to take.
So far from bogging, one lady stated that she had
The result is most satisfactory to my mind that
Mr. De Rose has behaved in this neighbourhood in a
manner highly creditable to himself and his country,
and that he is entitled to the esteem and the sympathy
of all who detest tyranny
and oppression.

HAYMARKET THEATRE.
A petite comedic, in one act, entitled A Novel Expe-
dient, was brought out last night with unequivocal suc-
cess. Three persons only are involved in the action.
The principal of these is Mrs. Charles Moore (Mrs.
Stirling), who is greatly annoyed by the addition to
her mknage of an intimate frieud of her husband, nam'd
Damon (ttlr. Leigh Murray). This intruder criticises
her drawings, gives his opiiiion es to tho paper which
should decorate the drawing.reorn, and, what is
more than all, constantly takes out her husband on
fishing expeditions. She hints to Charles (Mr.
Howe) that Demon's dcoartnre would be acceptable,
but finds him inexorable on the point. She, there.
fore, resolves to employ some new device, and
is furnished with a hint in a letter from an absent
aunt, who always rishes to uphold the domestic
supremacy of woman. The good aunt counsels her, by
reference to an episode in Lesage, to declare to Damon
that she is secretly enamoured of him, and that there-
fore he is bound, as a man of honour, to quit the house.
Damon at first falls into the trap, and is actually going,
when he picks up the aunt's letter by accident, and per-
ceiving the real state of the case alarms Mrs. Moore by
feigning a reciprocal passion. A little unpleasant alter-
cation with the husband ensues, but an explanation
clears up all difficulties, and Mrs. Moore, cured of her
love of domination, resolves not to disturb her husband's
friendship for Damon. The piece is elegant and well
written, and, excellently played as it is by Mrs. Stirling,
Mr. Leigh Murray, and Mr. Howe, produces an agree-
able effect.

POOR HOOD !
WRITTEN AT EENSAL-GREEN CEMETERY.
(From Eliza Cook's Journal.)
What gorgeous cenotaphs arise,
Of Perim shrine and granite vault,
Whose blazoned claims on purer skies
Shut out all earthly flaw and fault.
Who lies below yon splendid tomb
That stretches out so broad and tall?
The worms will surely ne'er exhume
A Dieser locked within such walL
And see, that other stately pile
Of chiselled glory, staring out;
Come, Sexton, leave your work awhile,
And tell us what we ask about.
Sol one belongs to him who held
A score of trained and tortured steeds;
Great Circus Hero, unexcelled )
On what strange stuff Ambition feeds.
The other guards ihe last repose
Of one whamishone by juggling craft;
Methinks when sueb.a temple rose
How Esculapius must have laughed.
And see that tam b beneath yon tree!—
But, Sexton, tints where to find
The grave of him we came to see;--
li it not here, or are we blind?
We mean poor Hood, the man who made
That song about the " Bridge of Sighs ;"
You know the song / well, leave your spade,
And please to show us where he lies.
What, there without a single mark,
Without a stone, without a line,—
Does watchfire Genius leave no spark
To note its ashes as divine ?
Must strangers come to woo his shade,
Scanning rare marbles as they pass ;
And, when they pause where he is laid,
Stop at a trodden mound of grass ?
And is it thus ? well, we suppose
England is far too poor to spare
A slab of white, where truth might write
The title of her Poet-Heir.
Let us build pillars strong and high,
On which the sculptured form is set ;
And when our growing sons ask why,
Name Royal Duke and Royal Debt.
Let us raise statues far and near,
Amid our busiest highways,
Colossal yonder—life-like here—
Where all the world may pass and praise.
And when Posterity asks who
We bore so far from Lethe's flood,
Let Record couple Waterloo
With one whom Fame baptized in blood.
Let us adorn our city walks
With idiot king and senate chief,—
Carve toga-folds and laurel stalks,—
There's something grand in robe and leaf.
But Hood—" poor Hood !"—the poet fool
Who sung of Woman's woes and wrongs,
Who taught his Master's Golden Rule,--
Give him no statue for his songs.
Give him the dust beneath his head,
Give him a grave—a grave alone;
In Life he dearly won his bread,--
In Reath—he is not worth a stone!
Perhaps we rightly think that he
Can Who flung God's light round lowly things
800 above, in Memory's love,
Without the aid of marble wings.
" 1)00r Rood!" thy spirit will not fret,
'Tvvill hold its own immortal torch,—
UtShakspere only can be met
"iihin a narrow Playhouse Porch.
" *pi! Rood!" for whom a chaplet wreaths

Give the

Works were worthier far than thine.
And let thy soul serenely sleep

And sadly, fondly, Bsy ,‘ Poor Hood!"

CRXTARY WALPOLE.—This Honourable
and Learned Gentleman seems destined to get into continual
scrapes through putting a literal interpretation on the jocular
observations of the Noble Premier. Last evening the dinner
hour of the M a
inisteri 1 White Bait banquet at Greenwich
was fixed for seven o'clock, but, we are informed by a
morning contemporary in consequence of Mr. Walpole
having misunderstood,' or rather taken literally, a casual
suggestion of the Noble Premier, that, out of compliment to
the Duke of Richmond, a Protectionist Ministry should dire
at the Star and Garter, at Richmond, the party did not sit
down until past eight, at which time the Home Secretary,
having discovered his error, arrived by special train.
TUE PRINCESS GAUROMMA.—We understand that
the Princess Guaromma, whose christening took place yester-
day in Buckingham Palace, has, by an agreement between
the ex-Raja of Coorg, on the one hand, and the Board of
Control and the Board of Directors of the East India Com-
pany, on the other, been placed under her Majesty's protec-
tion, to be educated in the p! inciples of the Church of Eng-
land in this country, and that her Majesty has appointed
Mrs. Drummond to take charge of her.

Tun 13;;;;;CAUCASIAN.—We have much plea-
sure in publishing the following very flattering letter, Which
Was addressed 1.;3,
a body of emigrants to Ur. William
Chandler chief officer of the above vessel :—" Port Adelaide,
Feb. 9, 1851. sir,—We, the undersigned emigrants, con-
veyed from P mouth to Adelaide by the barque Cauasian
feel ourselves under an obligation to you,
as Davidson,

and wish to return you our sincere thanks
for your kindness to us during the passage, and as a token of
respect we tender you these few nnea.
