these lately discovered remains are in reality those
of Dante. The photographer Alinari has been sent
to Ravenna in order to copy the box and its con-
tents by photography. According to the latest
news, the urn was opened on the 7th inst., in pre-
sence of the magistrates, a government commission>
and a deputation from Florence. The urn Iva°
found empty, with the exception of two finger"
joints, one foot-joint and some dry laurel-leaves;
these joints belong to the remains, and are those
which had been found wanting in the box of Frame
Santi.

"Silt,—The Lords Commissioners of her Majesty's Tre3;
Bury have had under their consideration a letter addressed
by Count L. Zamoyski to the Chancellor of the Exchequer'
dated 3d of April last, together with a memorandum I'.re
sented to Lord Palmerston, on the subject of the condlti?
of the Polish refugees who have come to this country'. 111
consequence of the recent insurrection in Poland, state
their extreme distress, and suggesting that means she'll
be taken for affording them relief under approved regul

tions.
"My Lords direct me to inform you that, in considerationd
of the state of destitution in which it has been represent i 8
that many of these refugees have recently arrived ill t':ci
country, and the great privations under which it is sal
they are actually suffering, they will not be inais-
posed to afford' some relief, to be confined, however, to 01
refugees who have come to this country in consequence °„
the recent insurrection in Poland, as means have bee"
taken.to make such preliminary inquiries as appear neces-
sary, by the appointment by this board of a committee,
with Major Charles Szulczewski as their secretary.
"It will be the business of the committee to ascertain, si,s
far as i 8
possible, the number, names, and condition of snc'
of the Poles, who—having become refugees in tij
country in consequence of the suppression of the insnr
rection in Poland last year—have arrived here prior to
the date of this letter, and have failed to find any eraple
ment, or who have lost it on account of old age or sick-
ness. It being understood that relief is to be afforded in
those oaks to such only as would come under the reB'
tions laid down in 1849.
" I have further to state that when my lords have befell,
them the report of the committee, they will be able to ta.k°
further measures in the matter. rollo
" I am, in conclusion, directed to add, that as nuule-
applications have been recently made at this office fr°-
Polish refugees whose cases cannot be considered to coal°
within the limits laid down for the present inquirl, 13:10
Lords would be glad if the Literary Association 01
Friends of Poland would take steps to inform the re',,ll
emigration of the nature of those cases which alone
form the subject of inquiry.—l remain, Sir, your ascii°
servant,
