The National Troops in Poland,

Although the winter is approaching, the national
forces are now more numerous and better (quipped
than they have been since the commencement of the
insurrection. The speech of the French Emperor
has created a great sensation in Poland, and is
generally interpreted as expressing the determina-
tion of Napoleon not to abandon the Polish cause.
The Poles are accordingly using all their efforts to
continue the insurrection till the spring, when they
regard foreign assistance to be certain.

The following is a rapid sketch of the position
and numbers of the insurgent forces :—The palati-
nate in which the Poles are most firmly established
is that of Lublin. The insurgent leaders in this
palatinate are Wierzbicki, Rudzki, Kozlowski,
Szydlowski, Krysinski, Dinewski, Suchodolski,
Czyzewicz, Sienkiewicz, and Junosz. A review of
these troops took place at Tarobin on the 29th ult.
It was a magnificent sight, and greatly encouraged
the insurgents, to whom this evidence of their
strength added confidence and enthusiasm.
In the palatinates of Sandomir and Cracow
Generals Bosak, Rembajlo, and others, present a
formidable front to the numerous Russian troops
which have been sent to attack them.

Col. Kopernicki commands the numerous flying
columns of Polish cavalry which constantly harass
the enemy in the palatinate of Kalisz.
In Kujavia there are also three bodies of horse,
one of which is under Okoniewski.

In the palatinates of Pock and Augnstow en-
counters are constantly taking place between the
Russians and the Poles. In Podlachia the official
Russian papers speak constantly of bands of armed
men which give much trouble to the imperial
troops; and in the palatinate of Majovia the Polish
horse under Syrewicz has lately fought a series of
brilliant cavalry engagements, in which the Rus-
sians suffered a complete defeat.

Finally, in Lithuania, and especially in Samo-
gitia, the insurgents are fully prepared for the
winter, and their late victories have greatly dis-
couraged their opponents.

THE QUEENS OF SONG.

By Eden Creathorne Clayton. Two Vols. Smith

and Elder.

These two really magnificent volumes are the result
of a most happy inspiration. It was a giorious idea
to celebrate at once the art and the artist, to com-
memorate in one charming series of charming
biographies---" a linked sweetness long drawn out"
—those " Queens of Song" who, in the present and
past century, have enraptured and enthralled so
many hearts and ears. As we turn over these pages
what names,familiar and famous, greet our eyes
andcallupheart-thrilling recollections—Malibran,
and Pasta, and Sontag, and Grisi, and the rest of the
glorious sisterhood, from Katharine Tofts and Mar-
garita de L'Epini, the prime donne of 1700, to Miss
Louisa Pyne and Madile. Titiens, the fair favourites
of 1863. Sach a record must necessarily be inte-
resting, and, with its stores of anecdotes, must ne-
cessarily also be most amusing. But these bio-
graphiesyet higher claim to our attention.
'fiey v
are whariteten in a most charming natural style,
and the authoress has displayed a happy power of
seizing upon the most prominent characteristics
which work the peculiar individualities of the
heroines she describes. The hopes and fears, the early
pro mise,the rising ambition,the disappointments,and
the brilliant triumphs, of these Queens of Song, are
described in vivid colours, and are to the full as
attractive as a romance. As an evidence of how
well the authoress appreciates the task she has
undertaken, let us quote from her preface this truth-
ful enumeration of the dangers and delights of—

THAMES.

A MASTER MARINER IN SEARCH ON HIS MOTHER.--
John Leslie, captain of a collier, was brought before Mr
Partridge, charged with assaulting Mrs. Elizabeth Farrier,
the wife of a tradesman, dwelling at No. 131, High street,
Wapping.
_ _ _

A police-constable named Palmer, No. 258 K, said he
was on duty in High-street, Wapping, last night, and
heard the screams of a woman. He went to the spot and
saw two woman struggling with the prisoner. One was
inside, the other outside of a dwelling-house, which the
prisoner wanted to enter and was exceedingly violent. The
woman said the prisoner had no business there, on which
he struck one of them on the face. He then took the pri-
soner into custody.
Mrs. Farrier said that last night she was alarmed by a
loud knocking at her door, which was succeeded by kicks,
and a cry of " Let me in; I want my mother." Upon
opening the door the prisoner exhibited himself, and said
he wanted his mother. She told him his mother did not
live there, and he said he would enter the house. She re-
monstrated with him, and he became exceedingly violent,
made use of bad language, and struck her on the face.
Mr. Partridge—Does his mother live in your house?
Mrs. Farrier—No, sir ; I don't know his mother.
The prisoner, in defence, said he was in search of his
his mother, and that was all he knew about it.
Mr. Partridge—You should prosecute the search for
your mother in seasonable hours, and when you are sober.
The prisoner, a burley North countryman said, well,
your honour, I was three sheets in the wind, and that's all
about it.
Mr. Partridge—When were you paid off ?
The prisoner—Eh, mon. lam not paid off at all. lam
master of my own ship, the brig Sarah. She lies at the
buoy. lam going back to the north.
Mr. Partridge said it was a great pity the mother, of
whom the prisoner was in search, was not in attendance
upon him last night. He fined the prisoner 405., which he
paid.

WESTMINSTER.

DETERMINED ATTEMPT AT SUICIDE WITH LAUDANUM.
—Elizabeth Bowell, living in Gardner's-lane, Westminster,
was brought before Mr. Selfe, charged with attempting to
commit suicide by swallowing a quantity of laudanum.
Police Constable B 967, said that about six o'clock last
night he was in the Horseferry-road when he was told that
the prisoner was at the Telegraph in Regent-street, and
that she had taken poison. He went there and found her
in front of the bar. When he saw her she remarked, " I
was very sorry that I let any one see me take lit."
Witness got a cab, into which she was placed, and was
taken to the Westminster Hospital, (The witness pro-
duced a phial which had a printed label on it with the
words " Laudanum—poison.") She was attended at the
hospital by several surgeons. She was there three hours be-
fore she was sufficiently recovered to be taken to the station
house.
Mr. Selfe—Did she give any account of herself ?
Witness—She said that she had been living with a man,
and she added that the first opportunity she had she would
put an end to herself.
Mr. Salle—ls the cabman in court?
Witness—He is, sir.

The cabman was called and said that he had been living
with the prisoner about seven years. He could not tell
what could have led her to make the attempt on her life.
Mr. Selfe said that he would remand her for a week,
when he would see what he would do with her.
She was then remanded.

"THE GHOST CLUB" at the
CANTERBURY HALL.—New and Interesting
Spectral Tableaux.—Mr. C. MORTON is enabled to announce
that, throu,lh the medium of Professor Pepper's World of
Shadows, a "GHOST CLUB" is n'ghtly held at the CAN-
TER BURY HALL. The object of the Club is not the re-
peopling of the Haunted Houses of London ; but, through
the agency of Phantoms, to present vivid (if transient)
pictures of the drama of real lite, both in its serious
and mirthful aspects ; and, by means of spectral tableaux,
to recall, and still further impress on the mind, some
of the teachings or pleasantries of the best wr tors. At pre-
sent, the two orders of Slavery—the Slavery of the South,
and the "White" Slavery of a more boastful civilisation,
receive emphatic illustration ; and these lite pictures will be
rapidly replaces by others. The pages of Shakepere and the
el, ,er Dramatists, of Scott, Hood, Ingoldsby, Dickens, &c., &c.,
wi 1, in turns, furnish subjects for illustration.
All the other Musical and Pictorial attractions as usual,
including Operatic Selections, &C. ; Comedy by Unsworth

Lecture by the Archbishop of Dublin,

Yesterday evening a lecture was delivered to a
numerous audience by the new Archbishop of
Dublin (Dr. Trench), at the City of London College,
being one of the winter series. The subject of the
lecture was the Swedish hero, Gustavus Adolphus.
The chair was taken by Mr. T. Baring, M.P., one
of the vice-presidents of the institution, who, in
opening the proceedings, congratulated the assenv-
bly on the presence of the late Dean of Westxnind
ster, adding that Ireland ought also to be congratu-
lated on having him for her future archbishop. The
archbishop then proceeded with his lecture. In the
introductory part he observed that it had of late
years been a fashion with philosophical historians
to deny that there had been any great men—that:
any single man, even the greatest, had exercised anir
h
mighty moulding influence over the events of i
time--the late Mr. Buckle, among others, having
supported that view. But who could believe til,n:,

" Thus the reader may be sure in the first place that he has
before him a genuine book, in which the temper, tenets, and
usages of the old Indian races are accuratelj pourtrayed ; and
that quite apart from its claims as an attractive story, it is
an authentic account of phases and vicissitudes through whico
India has really passed. . . . For its rapid action, in fact,
we have seldom read a better story, or one which is more Lull
of incidents, sangu nary, trenchant, and robust."—Times.

his gallant conduct at the capture of Fung-wha, in China,

George Hinckley, able seaman of her Majesty's sloop
" Sphinx"—For volunteering, while under the East Gate
of the city of Fung-wha, to carry to a joss house, a hundred
and fifty yards distant, under a heavy and continuous fire of
