FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.
WARSAW, OCT. 11.

This city is assuming the aspect of a fortress; in
all public places barracks and strongholds are being
erected for the soldiers, which is a fresh proof of
the state of siege being continued and upheld,
and of the determination of the Government to
carry on the war against the people. How such
conduct can be reconciled with the solemn declara-
tion made by the Grand Duke Constantine on the
Ist inst. at the opening of the session of the Council
of State, that both he and the Emperor are animated
with the best intentions towards the Poles, sur-
passes every conception. If such were actually
the case why does not the Government act fairly
and honestly, and listen to the grievances of the
nation, expressed in the address forwarded by Count
Andrew Zamoyski, instead of justifying itself among
the population of Warsaw, who has already suf-
fered so much from the tyranny and violence of the
Muscovite rule.

Since the departure of Count Andrew Zamoyski
from St. Petersburg, several protracted conferences
took place there on Polish matters, and it was de-
cided that every patriotic effort and aspiration
should be suppressed and punished with the
utmost severity. It appears that the wish of the
nobility of Podolia, for the annexation of that
and other Polish provinces to the Kingdom of
Poland will give the greatest possible offence to the
Emperor, who ordered the promoters of that address
to be at once imprisoned. The Russian governor of
the province of Kamiensic stopped the deliberations
of the nobles who were there assembled for the
election of their local dignitaries, according to law,
closed the hall, and returned to them the address,
signed by more than 200, among whom were several
Russian proprietors, and refused to forward it to
St. Petersburg. The Marshal of the nobility sent
the address by a messenger to the Emperor, and in-
formed the Minister of it by telegram. In the
meantime the Governor imprisoned M. Roniskier,
one of the Marshals of a district, an unheard of
proceeding, as even, according to the Russian.
law, none of the electors can be arrested during the
time of elections.

An order, signed by the Grand Duke Constan-
tine, announces that, in consideration of the altered
relations between the landowners and the peasants
which might be seriously interrupted by the latter
being obliged to serve as soldiers, the Imperial
ukase for a general levy is not to be fully carried
out in Poland. In lieu of the usual mode, by lot,
only certain individuals designated by authority
are to be taken for recruits, comprising small owners
of land, farmers, and the agricultural and town in-
habitants, of whatever creed they may be, exempt-
ing the rich landowners, and the servants employed
as labourers in the field. Now, it is evident that
the object of this measure, which has been much
coloured by the official journals, as a great boon con-
ferred upon the country, is to spare those who were
always before exempt from conscription, and apply
it with redoubled severity to the more enlightened
class of artisans and mechanics, who have ever been
considered by the authorities as chief movers in the
late national demonstrations. Included in this class,
as I said before, are the owners of little pieces of
land, generally men with large families, who, being
mercilessly dragged away from home and their
families to fill up the Russian ranks, sees with paint
their little property go to ruin, and their children
becoming a charge to public or private charity.
But for all that the Government has the impu-
dence to trumpet such measures in the German press
as benefits emanating from the paternal solicitude
of the Emperor.

Several municipal councils have been lately esta-
blished in the kingdom upon certain conditions*,
which shows that they never can become indepen-
dent deliberative bodies. Two more sections of the
High School at Warsaw have been opened, but the
professors are not settled yet, as they have been
summoned from the distant parts in Russia, those
in Poland not being found sufficiently Russian to
be entrusted with so great a responsibility.
Count Andrew Zamoyski has, I believe, already
arrived in Posen, on his way to France or England,
as it is not likely that the King of Prussia, who is
enacting in his dominions the role of the late
Nicholas, will suffer the Count to sojourn in the
Grand Duchy.

FRIGHTFUL ACClDENT.—Yesterday Mr. Lang"
ham, the deputy-coroner for Westminster, held an inquest
at Charing cross Hospital on the body of George Thomas, a
carman, aged 23, residing at.lo, Southampton-street West,
Nine Elms, who lost his life under the following shocking
circumstances :—From the evidence of several witnesses it
appeared that on Monday morning last deceased was driving
a cart along Piccadilly about half-past eleven. The cart con-
tained about 25 cwt. of cement in casks. Deceased was sitting
on the shaft, and it appeared that in order to get out of the
way of an omnibus he touched his horse with the whip
causing it suddenly to start forward. Deceased slipped off
and fell under the horse's feet, and, after being trampled ell
by the horse, the wheel of the cart passed over his WO,
scattering the blood and brains of deceased in all directions.
He was picked up insensible and apparently lifeless, and
conveyed to the hospital. William Travers, the resident
medical officer at Charing-cross Hospital, said deceased wag
dead when admitted. Ths skull was fractured, and the
brain severely lacerated. He —e must 'have been dead some
time. The coroner and jury having severely condemned the
dangerous practice of riding on the shaft, a verdict was re-
turned that deceased died from fracture of the skull front
being accidelltay TUB over.
