driver of a public conveyance would be LATEST INTELLIGENCE•
justified, under the particular circumstances,
in refusing to take a fare. This last
alternative would be a broken reed to lean
upon, since, in the first place, in such cases there is
generally a large sum paid to the driver, and like-
wise it is not likely that in common humanity he
could
rtouconeN..ey the sick and injured persons
to a place In street accidents, also, the
l refuse
of efg
common cab is not a desirable mode of conveyance,
since its very circumscribed limits prevent tho pos-
sibility of placing the injured person in a safe or
convenient posture. It was reportEd some time ago
that fractures would be much more generally cured
if the wounded parts had not been shaken and other-
wise injured by the rude and rough transit in cabs
in place of more appropriate methods of conveyance.
It was also stated in the report of the Islington
Fever Hospital some years since that nearly all the
patients sent to them with infectious disorders were
brought in cabs. It is satisfactory to notice that
Dr, BRADY has announced his intention of bringing
in a bill to rectify this obnoxious system, and Sir
GEORGE GREY has had the good sense and the
right feeling to promise him his support on the
introduction of such a remedial measure. This is
all very well, but the system of leaving private
members to do all the working part of the session
may be carried too far. Why do not
those entrusted with power seek out
these evils for themselves, and interpose
with the strong hand of authority to remedy the
evils and redress the wrongs under which the com-
munity labours. Be the ills complained of smallor
great they should be regarded in a right spirit, and
rectified as soon as possible. Many persons push
off the evil work of consideration till a more con-
venient time, but in most cases they should bear in
mind the poet's hint " Be wise to-day, 'tis madness
to defer." We wish Dr. BRADY every success in
his praiseworthy undertaking, and he will have at-
tained an important point in social reforms if he
succeed in putting down this abuse, which should
long ago have engaged the attention of those who
are competent to interfere in such matters.

[REUTER'S TELEGRAMS.]
THE INSURRECTION IN POLAND.

WARSAW, FEB. 9.

The Offictal Journal of to-day announces that the
revolutionary band which occupied the forest of
Skierniewic has been dispersed, with the loss of 50
killed and 40 taken prisoners.

The same paper publishes the following telegram,
dated Wilnag Feb. 9 :
" General Maninkene has completely defeated
the insurrectionary band near Semiatiezy, The
loss of the insurgents was 1,000, while that of the
Russians was only 12 killed, among whom were
six officers."

The Tillage of Semiatiezy was burnt.

DEBATE ON ITALY IN THE CORPS
LEGISLATIF.

PARIS, FEB. 10.
The paragraph of the address relative to America
was adopted yesterday in the Corps Legislatif.
The paragraph in the draft of the address of the
committee relative to Italy was then discussed.
The committee thought that France does not owe
Rome to the Italians. An amendment had, how-
ever, been brought forward by M. Jules Favre,
demanding that the occupation of Rome should

cease.
M. Favre said that since Garibaldi's expedition
France had changed her policy. He did not think
a new solution of the Roman question possible.
Victor Emmanuel would not abandon Italian unity,
and the Pope will not renounce his ancient provinces.
M. Favre spoke ironically of the Pontifical re-
forms, and opposed the French policy, which he
said was either equivocal or powerless.
PARIS, MONDAY.
To-day, in the Corps Legislatif, M. Picard, speak-
ing of the note of the Monsteur relative to the pub-
lication of the report of the debates in the Chamber,
asked if the journals were really forbidden to
comment upon the speeches of the Deputies.
M. Baroche stated that the note of the Moniteur
could not form the subject of any explanation to the
Chamber, as it would raise a question affecting the
interpretation of the constitution. "At present,
concluded M. Baroche, "I have nothing whatever
to reply to this question."
La _France of this evening says :—" The French
found in the fort of Acapulco arms which came from

American sources."
The 'exed questisn of the note in the Moniteur,
relative to the right to discuss the debates in the
Chambers, is mentioned in most of the Paris jour-
nals to-day. Le Constitutionnel is indignant with
those of its contemporaries, who regard it as an
interdict. of all observations on the acts of the
Chambers or the speeches of the orators, and declares
that the public must be perfectly aware from N.
Troplong's luminous report, and by the warnings
given last year to several journals, and by the
judicial condemnations on the subject, that
it is by no me ,ns the consideration of
the debates which is forbidden, but the publication
of reports which have for their object the misrepre-
sentation of the character of the sittings. It is to
be hoped that the Constitutionnel fully understands
this very enigmatical prohibition, which sounds
rather perplexing to the uninitiated.
Le Siecle sums up the opinions of most of its
contemporaries, and expresses its wish to know the
exact state of the case. The explanations of M.
Billault were, in its estimation, very unsatisfactory.
Is it an infringement of the law to express that
opinion ? After being allowed to comment on the
speech of the head of the State must all that the
Ministers say pass unquestioned ?
Le Pays has some remarks on the recent transac-
tion between Mr. Russell and the Pope, and thinks
it impossible that his Holiness should ever have
anticipated that France could abandon him.

TURIN, MON DAY.

To-day, in the Chamber of Deputies, Signor
Petrucelli put a question to the Ministry in refer-
ence to the present state of things in Poland.

The Minister for Foreign Affairs begged the
Chamber not to engage in a debate on that ques-
tion, as the Government was not in possession of
the information necessary to enable it to judge of
the events now passing in Poland. Instructions
would, he said, be given to the Italian representa-
tive at St. Petersburg of a nature favourable to
the interests of the friendship existing between the
two states, but upholding liberal principles.

Signor Petrucelli thought it would be a shame
to Italy to avoid discussing the Polish question,
when the English, French, and Swedish Parlia-
ments had testified their sympathy with Poland.

Signor Crispi and Brofferio supported the views
of Signor Petruceili.

Signor Miceli complained of the Ministry pre-
Tenting manifestations of the popular sympathies
with Poland.

Signor Farini reminded the Chamber that pru-
dence was necessary in dealing with questions of
foreign policy, and considered the discussion of the
question dangerous.
Signori Giorgini and Lanza stated that the
majority and minority entertained the same senti-
ments with regard to Poland. But the majority
avoided the discussion of the question, believing it
unsuited to the dignity of Parliament to give a

barren vote.
The following vote was then adopted :—" The
Chamber, considering the present moment inop-
portune for the discussion of the question put by
Signor Petrucelli, passes to the order of the day."

TURIN, MONDAY EVENING.

It. the Chamber of Deputies this bfternoon,
Signor Musolino questioned the Ministry with
regard to a rumour of the cession of the island of
Elba to France.

The Minister of Foreign Affairs replied, ab-
solutely denying the truth of the rumour.

POLAND.
[FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.]
WARSAW, FEB. 2.
The lawless conduct of the Russian Government,
so cruelly exemplified in the conscription effected in
Warsaw and in the provinces, has driven the people
