MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

CHECKING ATTJZIPTED SUICIDES.—George Baird, cf
1, Cross-street, Knightsbridge, a porter, was charged before
Mr. Knox with attempting to commit suicide in the Ser-
pentine.

Squire Fox, of 1, Hasker-street, Chelsea, a shoemaker,
said that he was in Hyde-park at six in the evening, whey
he saw a man (the prisoner) in the midst of the 'erpentine.
He pulled off his coat and jumped in, drew the prisoner
out, when he resisted violently, being under the influence
of drink.

Mr. Knox said the act of the witness was a very meri-
torious one; but he did not think the prisoner meant to
commit suicide.

Bray, 606 A, said that on prisoner being put into a boat,
to be taken across to the receiving house, he struggled
violently to get out of it into the water, stating that if they
did not let him he would upset the boat, and his conduct
was so outrageous that the rowers had the greatest clif ..
culty in preventing the boat going over. On getting the
prisoner, who was drunk, to the receiving house, he
plunged and kicked in such a determined manner that it
required four men to hold him down.

kr, Knox asked the prisoner what account ho had to
give of the matter.

Prisoner said he was very sorry now, and wished to go
home.

Mr. Knox said he would permit nothing of the kind.
He would not send the prisoner for trial, because no person
in the world would believe that he really intended to com-
mit suicide, especially at six in the evening when plenty of
persons were about. The act of the prisoner was that of
a foolish, drunken person, and, with the view of checking
such acts, he should, as the prisoner had struggled with
the constable, send him to prison for a month for resisting
the constable in the execution of his duty.
Mr. Knox gave the witness Fox 10s.

THE POLISH INSURRECTION.

VIENNA, MARCH 26.

Langiewicz has been set at liberty on parole. He
and his followers proceeded to Brunn (Moravia).
The violation of the Galician frontier by the
Russians will be considered as a violation of in-
tern ational law.

The views expressed by La France, of Austria
having consented to a Congress for the regulatioc
of the Polish affairs, are not sufficiently well
grounded. The Austrian Cabinet would, on the
contrary, rather avoid a Congress for the present;
anticipating that Russia would make further con-
cession• to Poland.
Toe Czas of the 21st instant contains the follow-
ing report of the battles between the Poles and
the Russians, which led to the retirement of
Langiewicz:—
" On the afternoon of the 17th instant Langie-
wicz's corps proceeded by Cnrobrz across the Nide,
and marched to Zagosc. The rear-guard, consisting
of Zouaves, burnt the bridge after all the Poles
had crossed over. Scarcely, however, had the
mareh begun across the open country, towards
Zagosc, when the Poles were attacked on both
flanks by two Russian columns consisting of two
battalions of infantry, a strong body of dragoons
and Cossacks, and four guns. The Cossacks, who
were posted on a hill, rushed down upon the Polish
baggage-waggons, which were in the rear. The
struggle continued from three o'clock till the even-
ing. Some confusion was produced among the
Polish baggage-guard, but all the attacks of the
Russians were repulsed, and towards evening they
were defeated, and were pursued towards Busk
throughout some portion of the night, and many
arms were taken from them, and some prisoners
were secured. Early next morning the victorious
Poles continued the pursuit, surrounded Busk, and
established their camp in a wooded position near the
village of Grochowiska, on the road towards Pine-
zow. During the morning new and strong Russian
columns, which had come from Pinczow and Chmiel-
nik (little towns half way between Kielc and Stob-
nica), showed themselves, and a new and more in-
tense struggle began. For some time Langiewicz
and his staff led the attack, exposed to the heavy
fire of the Russian infantry. His adjutant, Capt.
Zachut, fell by his side mortally wounded by a
bullet, and another had a horse shot under him.
As on the preceding day the Zouaves distinguished
themselves by their bravery and good bearing.
Some bodies of riflemen, who strove for hours
in hand-to-hand fighting amidst a fire of mus-
ketry, did their duty well ; and the scythemen
oven sometimes courageously attacked the Russian
infantry, notwithstanding the heavy fire to which
they were exposed. No use could be made of the
Polish cavalry, in consequence of the woody posi-
tion, and even a portion of them unnecessarily
and precipitately withdrew. The Russians were
at last beaten, and began to withdraw, while the
Poles secured many prisoners, among them was a
number of officers, including a lieutenant-colonel
and a major. The Russians withdrew towards
Pinczow, and the Poles encamped on the battle-
field."

It is asserted on the part of the Poles that during
the night a council of war was held, partly because
it was known that strong Russian divisions were
approaching on all sides, and partly because there
was no wish to convert the system of fighting into
a regular campaign. It was, therefore, resolved
to seperate Langiewices 6,000 men into four corps,
each of which was to proceed in a different direc-
tion. This plan was resorted to also on account of
the want of provisions in the part of the country
where the Poles then were. The Poles also say
that Langicwiez was about to withdraw with his
corps for a distant part, and that the order to march
was given, when, on the division of the forces, some
confusion ensued, and one party withdrew towards
Opatowiec, and some of these crossed the Vistula
towards Galicia.

MARKETS—This Day.

MARK-LANE.

Fresh up to this morning's market a very moderate sup-
ply of English wheat was received, in fair condition. For
all descriptions the demand was in a sluggish state, and
the tendency of prices was in favour of buyers.
There was a good show of foreign wheat on the stand.
Buyers endeavoured to make purchases at lower rates ; but
no quotable change took place in the currency compared
with Monday.

Floating cargoes of grain wore in slow request, at about
stationary prices.

Barley, the supply of which was moderate, moved off
slowly, at previous („uotations,

Malt changed hands to a limited extent, on former terms.
The supply of oats was less extensive. Sound qualities
were in moderate request, at full prices; but heated parcels
met a dull inquiry, at fully the recent reduction.

The demand for beans and peas was in a sluggish state,
at lato rates.

The flour trade was dull, and barrels, of which there is a
large arrival, were ()flared, at rather loss money.
