POLAND.
[FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.]
CRACOW, APRIL 4,

Letters received here from Lithuania spEak of a

formidable insurrection which broke out in Samo-
gita, in the northern part of that province, on the
25th March. All classes of the population have
taken part in it, and in their encounters with the
Russian troops they appear to have hitherto been
victorious. Their leaders exhibit a considerable
amount of skill in the military art, frequently pro-
ducing discomfiture in the troops opposed to them
merely by their able manoeuvres and their quick-
ness to take advantage of any opportunities afforded
to them by the nature of their position. Thus
Major Narbutt, one of the most distinguished
among them, who is the son of a wealthy Sarno-
gitian nobleman, and has for some years fought in
the Caucasus, drew the Russians into an ambuscade
by a very skilfully contrived stratagem. Having
collected a body of insurgents at Rudika, near
\Vilna, he sent one of them to that city to spread
the news among the military there. The result was
as he had expected and hoped, the immediate trans-
port by railway of 500 Russian soldiers to the scene
of the insurrection. Meanwhile Narbutt's men had
concealed themselves in the woods, a'id sent a few
shots at the Russians to stimulate them to pursue
their invisible enemies. The expedient was suc-
cessful; the Russians penetrated the wood, and fol-
lowed the Poles, who contrived to retreat into its
depths, still firing. At length the Russians found
themselves hopelessly floundering in a marsh ; the
Poles now rushed out upon them, and 250 of the
Russians were killed, the rest either escaping or
being taken prisoners. Another severe blow to the
Russian troops in this district is the destruction of
the garrison of Uscine, the whole of which, number-
ing 500 men, was cut to pieces after a fight in which
the Polish insurgents. did prodigies of bravery.
Several other towns have also been captured. In
general the insurgents appear to be well equipped,
and the wealthy nobles of Lithuania do not let
them want for anything. The peasants, accom-
panied by the clergy, who for the nonce have
buckled on the sword, are leaving their villages in
swarms to join the insurrection. One of the first
districts to rise was that of Bialowiez. About 150
ouths invited an old Polish officer to drill them in
a large space of marshy ground in this district,
to which they had retired. Their only arms
were eight rusty firelocks and about a dozen scythes,
and they were so scantily provided with provisions
that they were half starved before a week was out.
They now began to look about for supplies. For-
tunately a band of 50 Cossacks happened to be
passing, escorting some waggons full of ammunition
and provisions. The Poles at once attacked them.
rile eight firelocks first emptied eight saddles ;
then, with loud shouts, the scythemen rushed upon
the bewildered Cossacks, who immediately fled
panic stricken at the sight of these haggard men
fiercely waving the terrible weapon, which is the
dread of every Russiar, and left their waggons in
the hands of the Poles.

The power of Russia in Poland seems to be com-
pletely paralysed. Everywhere we hear of victories
over the Russian troops, who are evidently quite
incapable of coping -with the valiant guerillas
opposed to them. Even in the South, where the
bulk of the troops is now stationed, the numerous
insurgent bands carry off treasuries, destroy bridges
and capture towns and villages. From the Baltic
to the Bug, from Courland to Galicia, the power of
Russia is a mere name. In her blindness she thinks
to strike terror into the hearts of the Poles by burn-
ing their villages and massacreing their peaceful
inhabitants; but the only result of this short-sighted
policy has been to increase the numberof insurgents.
She has now, however, committed herself, and the
war she has waged against Poland is, on ber side,
a vicar of extermination. All the prisoners taken by
the Russians in this war have been ruthlessly mur-
dered in cold blood ; and when some Cossacks
brought Polish prisoners to the citadel of Medlin,
the commandant swore at them for troubling him
with Polish prisoners, instead of killing them them-
selves. The Poles, on tile other hand, invariably
set free their
.Russian prisoners. But the conduct
ofeit her side in this respect will have but little effect
on the progress of the insurrection. Poland has
plenty of men to spare, able and willing to liberate
their country ; and the destruction of the 150,000
men at most Russia can spare for Poland is, judging
by the progress made hitherto, bat a matter of time.

HER MAJESTY,

WINDSOR CASTLE, April 8.
The Queen, accompanied by their Royal High-
nesses the Prince Alfred, Princess Louise, and
Prince Louis of Hesse, walked in the grounds yes-
terday afternoon.

The health of her Royal Highness the Princess
Louis of Hesse, and of the infant princess, is re-
ported this morning as most satisfactory.

Sir Charles Eastlake, president, and Mr. Knight,
secretary, of the Royal Academy, had the honour of
an audience with her Majesty to submit the pro-
ceedings of the past year.
Their Royal Highnesses Prince Arthur and Prince
Leopold went to London yesterday, attended by
Major E'phinstone.

The Duchess of Athole has succeeded the Dowager
Countess of Mount Edgcumbe as Lady in Waiting
to her Majesty.

It is thought probab'e that the Prince and Prin-
cess of Wales may visit Oxford th's season.
In the formation of the household of the Prince
of Wales, it is said the Queen counselled his Royal High-
ness as to the most eligible persons to hold such distin-
guished posts, and her Majesty's advice was strictly and
deferentially followed in this matter.

The Earl and Countess of Cardigan have enter-
tained a large circle during the past fortnight, incluling
Lord and Lady Brudenell Bruce, Admiral the Hon. Mr.
F. Curzon, the Hon. George Fitzwilliara, Captain and Mrs.
Algernon De Horsey, Mr. Leslie, Mr. Cecil Boothby, &c.

Viscountess Bury gave birth to a son on Tuesday
last at 48, Rutland .gate.

Sir Henry Hoare has left Thomas's Hotel,
Berke'ey-square, to join Lady and Miss Hoare in Paris for
a short time.

Gen. Sir W. Gomm, whose illness we announced
yesterday, is suffering from neuralgia, arising from a cold.
The gallant general, who is 80 years of age, is progressing
favourably.

Captain Comte M. G. de Wezele has left Eaton
square for Dorset.

The second show of spring flowers at the Gardens
of the Royal Botanic Society will take place on Saturday
next.
AMENDMENT BY MR. HUBBARD.—That hence-
forth the Income Tax paid by Authors shall be called the
Pen-and-income Tax.—Puneh.
THE LATE EMPEROR OF RusslA.---Alexander
died, and Constantine, to the astonishment of the
world, declined the throne in favour of his younger brother,
Nicholas—•a brother who, totally devoid of moral qualities,
and but very meagrely endowed with intellectual ones, was
destined by mere force of will so to impose on the world,
that his monstrous egotism should pass for genius, his
brutal recklessness for power. The Old Man of the Sea,
who so long crushed down in awful reverence some of the
proudest crowns of Europe, was then scarce 30 years of age,
and quite unknown to his own empire or to Europe. His
real character was shown after Pestal's conspiracy in 1825,
by the wholesale hanging and torturing of those concerned
in it, and condemning them in scores and hundreds to the
minestof Siberia.—Once a Week.

According to a Vienna letter of the 4th Mdlle.
Poustowoitoff, who had acted as aide-de-camp to
Langiewiz,z, was informed, immediately after the ex-Dicta-
tor's departure from Cracow, that on giving her parole to
abstain from further revolutionary practices she might her-
self make choice of her future place of residence. She ac-
cordingly expressed a wish to be sent to Prague, which re-
quest was granted, as well as another, to be allowed to take
with her an old attendant, who had accompanied Langie-
wicz throughout the campaign.

THE OXFORD STaoKE.—A feat in rowing has
been performed by Mr. Hoare, the stroke of the
Oxford crew, and captain of the 0.U.8.C., which stands
quite by itself in the annals of the river— this is the third
year he has rowed stroke of the Oxford boat, and on each
occasion he has won and won easily—most easily in this his
third year. Not only has this feat never been performed
before, but we venture to prophesy that it will not be per-
formed again in our time, and no man who knows what a
combination of qualities it takes to make a really first-rate
stroke will be likely to dispute our vaticination. The old
theory was, and there is a good deal of truth in it, that
most University strokes fall off more or less, at any rate
after their second year. Running through all the best
men we remember—and our memory ranges over nearly
a quarter of a century—we can only name two men
who seemed to ue, as strokes, to be as good as ever in their
third year. These two were Fletcher Menzies at Oxford,
and Jack Hall (we Lust he will pardon the familiarit3,
should he happen upon this article) at Cambridge; and
Menzies, though be made and trained his crew, was dis-
abled by illness from pulling in his third year, both at
Henley and in London; and Hall, though to our mind his
stroke had not fallen off, was beaten in his third year.
Any man who bas pluck, strength, and a sound cheat,
can make himself a good oar if he will persevere ; but not
one man in a hundred will turn out a really great stroke,
let him work ever so hard. It is worth while, then, to
look well at such a men as Mr. Hoare, when you
come across him, and to consider wherein his supreme ex-
cellence lies. To our mind, his coolness and judgment are
his strongest points, and in these he has never been sur •
passed in the Universities. His quiet start gives his crew
a steadiness in their rowing which is invaluable when the
first spurt is over, and the superb way in which he gradually
c-lls on them, quickening almost imperceptibly from 37 to
12 strokes in the minute, is beyond all praise. Then he has
accepted the old Oxford tradition of the long stroke, which
approves itself more ana more to our minds every year; as
the true method of perfect rowing. It, in twelve seconds,
you can take something like the same water in nine strokes
which your adversaries take in ten, you will do it with pro-
portionally less fatigue, and must win in a long race, When
you have a stroke of real genius, like Mr. Hoare—great
strokes being as scarce as great poets--the odds are that
he will bring his boat first past the post.—Spectator.
" MANHATTAN."—The Dublin .Lvening Express
has announced to its readers that " Manhattan"
is not an American but an Irisnnian. We aro quite sure
our contemporary would not seriously disseminate an erro-
neous statement, and we beg to assure him that " Man
hattan" and Mr. Phillips Day are two distinct personages.
"Manhattan" is an American, and has never crossed the
Atlantic. Mr. Phillips Day was the Southern correspon-
dent of this paper for a few months after the breaking out
of hostilities between North and South.—lfforning Herald,
A GREAT GUN,—A gun nearly 18 feet long, and
about 4 feet in diameter at the breech, is a most
terrible. looking engine; and I have no doubt that, on the
occasion of which I am treating, the discharge of this piece
of artillery was looked for by many as the great event of the
day. When the bugle sounded the note of preparation,
and the men, who had been busy preparing this enormous
cannon to do its work of destruction, began to run away
from it in all directions, seeking safety in flight and conceal-
ment, and so the great monster was left alone and dominant
over the other guns which stood about it, there was something
almost awfulin itsaspect. Itwas not entirely deserted, though
even yet, for one solitary individual was perched upon its
breech, adjusting, it is to be supposed, the machinery
connected with its firing, and making the final prepara-
tions. And small, indeed, the man looked, crawling about
upon that perilous eminence; and dangerous enough his
r,osition seemed, when one reflected what was inside the
monster on which he was perched, and how fraught with
destruction it was. But soon even this solitary personage
dismounted from his position, and when he had found for
himself some secure asylum, there was but a short pause
before the signal was given, and in the midst of a roaring,
rushing sound, a perfect hail of solid fragments filled the
air, descending with a terrific clatter on the earth, and
making us feel how wise was the precaution which had sent
ns all under cover of a roof. At that same moment of its
discharge, the cannon, with a furious recoil, threw up its
muzzle to the sky. " Dixi, I have spoken," it seemed to
say; and then it flung its mouth up to the heavens for air,
—Dickens's " All the Year Bound."

A FEROCIOUS RAT.— One day last week, as
two men, named Edwards, of Herringfleet, Lowestoft, were
passing a field, they saw a boy crying, and on inquiring the
reason they were told there was a large rat in the field
which had been chasing him about all the afternoon, and
prevented his getting at his dinner, which was rolled up in
his coat by the side of the hedge. The men went to the
spot, and found the rat. Ueorgo Edwards took up a stick
to strike it, when it commenced "scrubbing" the ground
and pail no attention to him; he struck at it and missed
it, when the rat at once flew at him, and he then hit it and
killed it. The boy stated that whenever he went near his
dinner the rat flew at him and chased him into the field.
It had got at the boy's dinner and had partly devoured it.

THE MURDER IN LEEDS.—We understand that
the man Gair, who murdered his paramour 01
Saturday morning last, has written a statement of the
affair, in which be alleges that the woman cut her own
throat, and afterwards inflicted the injury or. him from
which he is now suffering. He continues to progress as
favourably as could be expected.
The capital sentence passed on Levi Taylor, a
young man of 18, at the Liverpool Assizes, for
murder, has been commuted for penal servitude, in conse-
quence of the strong recommendations of the jury, founded
on the peculiar circumstances of the case, and the great
provocation received by the prisoner. The learned judge,
in forwarding the recommendation of the jury to the Secre-
tary of State, intimated his opinion that it might not be
necessary to carry out the extreme punishment of the law
this Case,

Mr, Disraeli on the Work of the Church of

England.

The parish church of Waddesdon, Bucks, which has been
completely restored, at a cost of upwards of £1,600, was re-
opened on Tuesday last. The Bishop of Oxford preached
an appropriate sermon from St. John, c. xx, v, 19-23, to a
crowded congregation.
. _

After the service a public luncheon was given, at which
the Duke of Marlborough presided, supported by the Bishop
of Oxford, the Duke of Buckingham, Mr. Disraeli, M.P.,
Sir Harry Verney, M.P,, Sir T. F. Fremantle, Mr. F. Cal-
vert, Q.C., Archdeacon Bickersteth, and a large number of
the neighbouring clergy and gentry.
After "The Health of the Queen and Royal Family" had
been drunk, the Duke of MARLBOROUGH proposed " The
Health of the Lord Bishop of the Diocess."
The Bishop of OXFORD, after acknowledging the compli-
ment, said—l am perfectly &indolent that, constituted as we
men are, body and soul mixed, the building in which wo
meet for such a purpose as worship produces, little by little,
yet, in the end, very great effects upon us. If it bears every
mark of neglect that a building can bear, if the hangings
are musty, if the baize with which, as the very cheapest
possible material, its old pews are lined are fusty and
musty,
• if its windows are cracked and let in the wind
at every single orifice, if the selfish man seeks to shelter
his rheumatic shoulder by raising the family pew. so
that he can shut out the draught from the corner where
he reposes, but leaves the poor man, with shoulders
equally susceptible of rheumatism, open to the selfsame
draught, that is a very humbling, and I think a very
shameful exhibition, and if every one is calcuting whether
on this particular dayhe is to catch that severe cold which
he must catch some day, he is in no condition to enter upon
worship, and as for the man whose selfishness is sheltered
in his comfortable pew, I am sure he can be in no mood for
the service of God. But the great thing,when we have an old
church like this restored, is that it is the possession of the
whole parish. It is held, you know, by law, and the bishop
is the curator of the whole interior, for the sake of the
people of the whole parish. It is the common hall of the
parish, and the common home of all their best feelings, the
common anchor by which generation after generation holds
on, as the waves of life pass over them, age after age.
(Cheers.) In cenclusion, his lordship' proposed " The
Health of the Duke of Marlborough."
The Duke of MARLBOROUGH, in responding, proposed
" The Health of the Duke of Buckingham," who, in turn, -
proposed " The Health of Mr. Disraeli."
Mr. DISRAELI, who was very warmly received, said—l
had hoped that in coming into this county I was getting
away from the House of Commons, but I should be insen-
sible if I did not feel grateful for being reminded that I
have the great distinction of representing you in that as-
sembly. lam sure Sir Harry Verney will agree with me
that in all the labours of political life, whatever may be the
excitement of the immediate object, whatever the feelings
that may animate us at the moment, at the bottom of our
hearts, on whatever side of the house we may sit, the pre-
dominant sentiment is anxiety that we may obtain the re-
gard and respect of those among whom we live. But, allow
me to say, forgetting the House of Commons for a moment,
this is not my first visit to Waddesdon. I cannot be in-
sensible to the great and striking change that has taken
place in this parish and in this county. Twenty years ago
I recollected a sorry village with a dilapidated church.
But now I find all the signs and symbols of progress.
houses rebuilt and greatly improved, gardens distinguished
by their beauty and exuberance, and, above all, that divine
building, under whose roof we have assembled to-day, par-
taking in the steady improvement that we see everywhere
in this county. But, what is still more gratifying is to ob-
serve that the change which has taken place in this vPlage
and this district is not merely a material change. Twenty
years ago the village I venture to describe was inhabited by
a lawless populace—a suffering, and, perhaps, because suf-
fering, a lawless populace. I find it to. day, from all I hear
and from much that I can observe, animated by that sense
of dut) which is the only foundation of prosperity. (Cheers.)
I find in this comparatively Small district as great a change
and for the better, has taken place as possibly can be noticed
in any part of the country. I think lam justified in say-
ing that in this community, as in many others, we may
principally attribute this great and beneficial change to the
influence of the Church of this country. Much has been done, and it has been done by the Church in its largest and
truest sense, by that union between clergy and laity with-
out which nothing can be done, and with which everything
that is desirable can be accomplished. (Cheers,) Well,
then, that is a state of affairs which may, I think, give us
the greatest satisfaction, and we should recollect to whom
we are indebted for this great amelioration. His grace has
referred in befitting terms to the character and conduct of
my right rev, friend the Bishop of Oxford. He is the soul
of the diocese which he rules, and all England recognises
the great and advantageous consequences of that supervi-
sion. But NI e must also remember how much we are in-
debted to the gentleman who is the incumbent of this parish.
It is, I am sure, a complete reward to him that he finds
how his great efforts are recognised by his neighbours.
(Cheers.) lam sure what has happened to-day, while
rewarding him for the past, will animate him to fresh exer-
tions for the ftnuie. But remember that in the hierarchy
of the Church evory gradation has its specific duties, and
without these specific duties being fulfilled, without that
hearty co-operation which is so necessary, these desirable
results will not be obtained. There are intermediate gra..
dations of ihe utmost importance, on whom devolve high . duties, on the complete understanding and fulfilment of
which the great work of the Established Church of the
country greatly depends. There are archdeacons—an office
which has sometimes seemed insignificant in point of influ-
ence, though import ant as an office, for want of a due com-
prehension of its duties, or of zeal and energy in their per-
formance. In this country we have an archdeacon—l am
proud to say it, even in his presence—who duly compre-
hends his duty, and is zealous and earnest in the perform-
ance of it. (Hear.) There is also another gradation of our
ecclesiastical hierarchy on whom the good working of our
ecclesiastical polity mainly depends, and I may say that in
this country the benefloial effects of the institution of that
office, and the due fulfilment of what is incumbent on the
individual who holds it are seen to be of the highest im-
portance—l mean the rural deans. There is no office
which, when filled by individuals who are conscious of the
duties of the post they occupy, has contributed more to
that signal revival of Church principles and of true Church
sentiments which we see than that of the rural deans.
Therefore, under these circumstances, having drunk the
health of the Bishop of the diocese, and done honour to the
admirable labours of the incumbent of the parish, allow me
to propose " The Health of Archdeacon Bickersteth, and
the Rural Deans of this District," (Cheers.)
The toast was acknowledged by Archdeacon Bickersteth
and the Rev. W. R. Fremantle (Rural Dean), and " The
Health of the Vicar, the Rev. R. B. Burges," having been
duly honoured, with several other local toasts, the assembly
broke up,

The Price of Gold.

The quotation of gold at Paris is about per mille pm., and
the short exchange on London is 25.221 per £1 sterling. On
comparing these rates with the English Mint price of £3
17s. 100. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold is
n arly 2-10 tbs er cent. dealer in London than in Paris.
By advices from Hamburg the price of gold is 424 per mark,
and the short exchange on London is 13.51 per £1 sterling.
z,tandard gold at the English Mint price is, therefore, about
5-10ths per cent. dearer in London than in Hamburg
£he course of exchange at New York on London for bills at
days' sWit is about 171 per cent., and the premium on
gold is 551 per cent. At these rates there is a profit 911 the
