THE POLISH INSURRECTION.

Complete details of the last fatal fight between
the Russian troops and the Poles, under Langie-
wicz, have not been received, but the Czas of the
19th inst. gives the following account of the move-
ments of the hostile forces up to the 17th :

" On the 16th inst., Langiewicz left Zaryszyn for
Chrobrz, where next day he fixed his head-quarters
in the castle. All the horses and provisions were
taken away. Before his departure Langiewicz
summoned the mayors of the adjacent villages to
come to Chrobrz, where they were required to sa-
tisfy themselves that, with the exception of the
horses and food, nothing in the castle had been dis-
turbed, and the building was placed under their
care. On the 17th no encounter took place. The
Russians (comprising some companies of infantry,
50 Cossacks, 50 dragoons, and two guns), who had
observed the movements of the Poles from a dis-

tance, were then in the little town of Dzialoszyce,
midway on the road from Miechow to Wislica,
about two miles on the south-west of Chrobz. The
main body, under Goderal Prince Schacowskoj,
were at Miechow. The general's troop consisted
of some thousands of men of the infantry of
the guard of the Regiments of Wilna and
Smolensk, of the 6th jager battalion, and four
guns. Colonel Zwirow had moved with his
column from Kielce to Jendszdow, which is
situate almost centrally on the road between
Kielce and Miechow, and had pushed on his ad-
vanced guard to Pinczow (a seat of the Margravt
Wielopo!ski), about a mile to the northward of
Chrobrz. Gen. Uschakow, military chief of the
Radom Government, had removed his headquarters
from Radom southwards towards Kielce. Sotr e 300
Russians were also posted at Stohnica, to the north-
east of Wislica."

Intelligence from Warsaw of the 18th confirms
the announcement of the increasing boldness of the
insurgents, who had then advanced nearly as far as
Praga, a suburb of Warsaw, on the right bank of
the Vistula, where is situate a station on the War-
saw and St. Peterburg Railway. In the neighbour-
hood of the little town of Miloswa, on the high road,
four miles from Warsaw, a band of many thousand
insurgents had assembled without any attempt to
attack them being made by the Russians. Mast of
vle scholars of the preparatory school of the uni-
versity had gone over to the insurgents, and the
school was closed. Recruiting for the insurgents
was carried on openly in the city, and people were
found in the brandy-shops reading aloud the pro-
clamation by Langiewicz, and summoning their
hearers, who were mostly working people, to join
the cause of the country, and to proceed to the
forests. Generally these recruiting agents found
willing hearers, and the people would assemble at
a given place, when the oath would be administered
to them, and then they would leave Warsaw in a
body. That such proceedings should be allowed to
take place in a city where a mighty garrison is
situated, that city being also the capital of tht
country, where a state of siege and martial law was
in force, would appear to be incredible; but there is
❑o doubt of the truth of the statement.

The institutions granted to the Poles would ap-
pear to be undergoing a gradual condition of col-
lapse. Members of the Council of State d lily send
in their resignations, and similar measures are re-
sorted to by the town and district circles. It is
also affirmed that all the officials have received
anonymous summonses to send in their resignations
immediately. In the provinces many of the taxes
were not collected, as it was feared that the Go-
vernment treasuries would be confiscated by the
rebels.

FATAL ACCIDENT AT MANCIIESTER.—A Nei
accident took place at the Ordsali-lane station o 1
the London and North-Western Railway yesterday morn •
ing. A number of butchers usu‘lly go down by the 430
a.m. train to Liverpool on Mondays, and a separate carriage
is attached for their convenience at Ordsall-lane. This car •
riage had been placed on the level crossing, and, contrary
to the usual custom, before being arawn to the platform the
butchers clambered into it, just at the moment that a van
was being drawn along the line to be attached to the train.
Unfortunately one of the butchers, Mr. John Pownall,
jun., was knocked down by the van, and the wheels went
over his legs. He was removed to the infirmary, where he
died in the course of the morning.
