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 was
found empty, with the exception of two finger-
joints, o'm 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 Frater
Santi.

"SlN—The Lords Commissioners of her Majesty's Treai-
sury have had under their consideration a letter addresseu.
by Count L. Zamoyski to the Chancellor of the Exchequer'
dated 3d of April last, together with a memorandum Pre-
sented to Lord Palmerston, on the subject of the conditte°
of the Polish refugees who have come to this country' in
consequence of the recent insurrection in Poland, stating
their extreme distress, and suggesting that means 01°1a
be taken for affording them relief under approved regulat
tions.
"My Lords direct me to inform you that, in consideratiood
of the state of destitution in which it has been represent°
that many of these refugees have recently arrived in
country, and the great privations under which it isms"l"
they are actually suffering, they will not be
posed to afford some relief, to be confined, however, to thef
refugees who here come to this country in consequence °
the recent insurrection in Poland, as means have be
ell
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,
far as possible, the number, names, and condition of site'
of the Poles, who—having become refugees in tliL4
country in consequence of the suppression of the /Ilan:
rection in Poland last year—have arrived here prior w
the date of this letter, and have failed to find any employ'
ment, or who have lost it on account of old age or sielc:
ness. It being understood that relief is to be afforded 01
those cases to such only as would come under the regulti-
tions laid down in 1849.
"I have further to state that when my lords have bafer°„
them the report of the committee, they will be able to tea
further measures in the matter. 110
" I am, in conclusion, directed to add, that as Homer 0,3
applications have been recently made at this office 0
Polish refugees whose cases cannot be considered to caul;
within the limits laid down for the_ present inquiry'
Lords would be glad if the Literary Association of the
Friends of Poland would take steps to inform the roll
emigration of the nature of those cases which alone wat
form the subiect of inquiry.—l remain, Sir, your °bed°
servant,
