THE EXECUTIONS IN POLAND,

The Silesian Gazette, in a letter from Warsaw
of the 12th inst., gives the following details rela-
tive to the late executions i❑ that city :—" At four
o'clock this morning I went on the glacis of the
citadel to witness the execution of the Capucin Ko-
narski and of M. Abicht. A great number of troops
were drawn up on the ground, and about 100 spec-
tators (all men) were present. The gates of the
citadel were thrown open, and a cart came out with
two persons in it dressed in white. One was a
young man about 20 years of age, with long light
hair and a German countenance; the other, about 40,
with a long beard, who could he seen was a priest.
The cart was placed near the scaffold, and the two
persons alighted. The young man was pale but firm,
and placed himself with a resolute step on the
scaffold. The rope was tied round his neck, and in
an instant after his body swung in the air. The
priest afterwards ascended the fatal plank. He
looked proudly around him, and his lips appeared
to murmur a prayer—in a moment after he was
also launched into eternity. During the whole time
all the Catholic churches in Warsaw were tolling a
funeral knell."

Another letter of the 13th, in the Breslau Gazette,
says—" The impression produced by the late execu-
tions is immense. Some persons call to mind the
decree of amnesty of April 13, according to the
terms of which the prisoner Abicht could not have
been executed. But those terms are so vague and
equivocal that they could very well be made not to
apply to that unfortunate young man. Others do not
find any sufficient grounds for the condemnation of
the priest Konareki, who had done nothing more
than what any ecclesiastic in his place would have
done. Lastly, everyone asks himself why the two
students imprisoned with the Abbe Konaraki have
been condemned to transportation to Siberia, when,
according to the avowal of the military tribunal
itself, they were only accused of having crossed
the frontier without a passport, an act which only
comes under the surveillance of the simple police."
The Posen Journal has the subjoined from War-
saw

" The Poles have recently obtained two signal
advantages over the Russians—one at Sempolno, in
the government of Kalisch, and the other at Chie-
wiska, in the Palatinate of Radom. Mouravieff con-
tinues his dreadful acts in Lithuania. He shoots
and burns with the most savage violence. In order
to prevent the people from visiting the graves of
the new martyrs he has had the ground covered
with every kind of filth to prevent their approach.
The priests executed at Wilna were not previously
deprived of the sacerdotal ornaments, and it was the
same at Warsaw with the Abbe Sonarski.",

CORPORAL PUNISHMENT IN SCHOOLS.—The fol-
lowing is a copy of a bill which has just ban
brought into the House of Commons by Viscount llaynham
and Mr. Dunlop, entitled "A bill to regulate corporal
punishment in schools and elsewhere :"—" Whereas it is
expedient that provision should be made for regulating the
use of corporal punishment by schoolmasters, tutors, and
other persons having the charge of young persons for the
purposes of tuition or training; be it enacted by the Queen's
most excellent Majesty, by and with the advice and con-
sent of the lords spiritual and temporal, and commons, in
this present Parliament assembled, and by the authority of
the same, as follows :-1. From and after the passing of
this act it shall not be lawful for any schoolmaster, usher,
tutor, or other person having the charge, management, cus-
tody, or control of young persons for the purposes of tuition
or training, and not being the parents, guardians, or
nearest surviving relatives of such young persons, to in-
flict any corporal punishment on any such young persons
otherwise than by the use of a birch rod ; and every person
who shall act in contravention of this act shall be deemed
to be guilty of an assault, and shall be punishable accord-
ingly."
