thorities. It was supposed, and very loudly trum-
peted abroad by the Russian agents, that the nomi-

nation of the Grand Duke Constantine to the post

of Viceroy, and his presence here, would be a fore-
runner of the mitigation of the sufferings entailed
on the Poles, and lead to many reforms in the
actual system. Alas ! what a sad disappointment!
At the moment I write these lines we hear of no-
thing else here but arrests, court-martials, and a
new organisation of secret police. What cheering
prospects for the future after more than ten months
of the state of siege. The most revolting occur-
rence is the arrest of Madame Zaleski, who,
whilst in her bed, with a friend staying in the
house, had been pounced upon by the police in the
dead of the night, compelled to dress before them,
as well as her friend, and both carried to the cita-
del, where they still remain. The servants shared
the same fate, and the only being that was left
behind was an orphan child, whom Madame Za-
leski took under her protection. Such a proceed-
ing can only be characterised as eminently barba-
rous, for to wage a war with defenceless women
is most derogatory to the dignity of man. And
is it to be wondered at that such conduct on the
part of the Government should not provoke vio-
lent and even criminal attempts, of which War-
saw has recently been the theatre ? The Govern-
ment, instead of quieting, irritates the people, and
drives them almost to despair. Every allusion as
to the new reforms being introduced, and so
much made of in some papers published in France
and England, has vanished away and the confidence
in the many promises is completely destroyed.
These so-called reforms only figure on paper,
and the Government never dreams of carry-
ing them into effect. In lieu of them, the remo Jel-
ling of the police has been executed with a marvel-
lous rapidity, and the agents ran a race one with
another as to who are to bring the first victim. To
arrest one person, swarms of policemen and gend-
armes proceed to, and surround the house, and if
they fail to discover the suspected individual they
then lay a perfect siege to the adjoining houses
until they have succeeded in their mission. In this
manner many have been arrested, chiefly among
the workmen in different manufactories. Besides
those, others have been imprisoned, viz., Mr. Peter
Braclowski, Professor of the College at Kobbiola,
Mr. Broneslas Gruczynski, a public functionary,
and three students, Zaborowski, Kuczynski, and
Kioskowski. All the pupils of the preparatory
school in Warsaw, at the very moment of their de-
parture for the forthcoming vacation, have been
stopped, and none is allowed to leave the metro-
polis. The same arbitrary order has also been ex-
tended to the Professors, all of whom are stupified
and annoyed beyond measure. The reason for this
sudden edict is the imaginary conspiracy invented
by the police, at the suggestion of the higher
authorities, in order to have a pretext for continu-
ing the oppression, and an excuse before the public
opinion of Europe to act as they do. But even this
abomin4ble trick cannot last long, for Europe knows
that there is no occasion for plots and conspiracies,
as the whole country from one end to another con-
spires mostly by proclaiming loudly the tyranny
and bad faith of their Muscovite rulers ; and but for
the dignity and prudence with which the majority of
the nation manifest these feelings, Poland would
have ere long been driven to acts of frenzy and

despair:
Nothing can be more injurious to the national
cause than these constant rumours of conspiracy,
which can easily be traced to the German press,
ever so inimical to the Poles, and to the telegrams
circulated over Europe by the Russian agency.
The public in England should know from what
manufactory those telegrams proceed.
In my last I mentioned to you the pith of
the official report presented to the municipality on
the prisons of Warsaw. This document has startled
every one here, and it was believed that in its own
interest the Government would allow it to be pub-
lished, as it showed in its true light the never- to-
be-forgotten presidents who used to fill it with the
prisoners, Generals Pilsudzkoj and Krzysanowskoj.
However, such is not the case, the President of the
municipality has, instead of praise, received a severe
reprimand for the appearance of this report.
A levee of recruits in Poland for the Russian
army is announced to take place on the Ist October
next, and is to be carried out without regard to Vie
men being married and having a family, among the
artisans and factory workmen chiefly. We may
well expect some horrible scenes, and perhaps, also
a great resistance.
It is said that the Council of State are preparing
a law with a view to the increase of taxation which
already weighs so heavily upon the people. The
duty on stamps which affects most all the classes is
be doubled.
A sum of 3(10,000 roubles has been ordered from
the Public Treasury for the repairs of the Royal
Castle, in which the Grand Duke Constantine is to
take his winter quarters. Surely his Imperial
Highness in the midst of the prevailing poverty in
Poland might put up with his present elegant and
comfortable residence in the Palace of Belvedere.
A rumour circulates here that the Russian Go-
vernment gave orders to arrest 22 Russian gentle-
men, who are now abroad, as they re-enter the
Russian frontier on their way home, One is at a
loss to understand such an order; but some think
that it has a connection with the wide conspiracy

in Russia.
The popularity of the Marquis Wielopolski is fast
diminishing, even among his own sycophants—and
his influence with the Grand Duke Constantine has
been very much shaken. Others, among whom is
Count Chreptouisy, the late Russian Ambassador
in London have arrived to form a sort of secret
council, and to advise his Imperial Highness on all
state matters.

GARIBALDI'S MOVEMENTS.
The Moniteur has the following on the affairs of
Sicily:—
"A manifestation which was to have taken place
at Palermo, in favour of Garibaldi, has completely
failed before the good sense and calm attitude of
the population. In the interior of the island the
bands become weaker and weaker by desertions,
the volunteers dispersing in great numbers, and
demanding passes to return to their homes. All
the Italian journals, with the exception of the
Mazzinian organs, declare themselves with patri-
otic indignation against this levy of bucklers
of the ex-dictator. The words attributed to
Garibaldi are published with the most ener-
getic blame by nearly the whole of the Italian
journals. It is true that no official confirma-
tion has yet been received of the incredible
harangue attributed to the General at his camp
of Rocca-Palomba, and the despatch itself which
transmitted it did not appear very positive as to the
correctness of the words given. Details and inci-
dents, however, are not wanting to enable an opinion
to be formed of the tendencies of the Garibaldian
enterprise."
The France publishes the following :—" The news
from Italy continues very grave. Garibaldi, by an
order of the day, dated from his head-quarters, has
given to the forces he has collected the title of
Army of Italian Independence.' He announces
his early arrival in the kingdom of Naples, and de-
clares that great events will be accomplished at no
distant date."

A Palermo journal publishes the two following
letters, which prove the excitement of the public
mind in that city :
Valorous Captain of the People ! The country
calls her children to the defence of her proper right
—the completion of Italian unity. Under that in
spiration I voluntarily offer you my three sons,
Marius, Nicolas, and Joseph Palmieri, to whom I
give my blessing. " ROsALIt: PALMIERI."

- Garibaldi replied as follows :--
unwed and
" Most valorous Mother,--I accept,
grateful, the offer which you make to me of your
three sons, and I am persuaded that the country will
follow
lo three sons to
w theyour example.

heartily, " GARIBALDI."
It is said that Garibaldi's inten-
A Turin correspondent of the Debats, writing on
tt ihoen says:9lothtocr oeover to the main land and march an

Rome by the mountains. Hitherto tho regular
army has shown no disposition whatever to join
him, and I have only heard of one, a sfab-lieute-
nant, having deserted. It is even asserted that the
spirit of the army is very decided, and that it will
do its duty in all circumstances. To explain Gari-
baldi's conduct, some say that he expected the army
to join him ; others, that he hoped France would
abandon Rome. A third party offers another ex-
planation, saying that the movement is combined
for the purpose of demonstrating the necessity of
giving Rome to Italy, if it is wished to stop the
progress of the revolution. Such, in fact, is the
view taken by the clerical journal, the Armenia. I
do not pretend to say which of these conjectures is
nearest the truth ; I only relate what I hear from
those around me. Tie fact is, that common sense
will not suffice to give any reasonable explana-
tion of Garibaldi's enterprise. It is evidently
directed against Rome, where there is a French
army possessed of a moral and material force
respecting Which there can be no illusion. Some
persons pretend that the Mazzinian party, having
learned that the Roman question was near its
solution, were unwilling to allow the monarchy
to claim the honour of the achievement, and got
up this movement to secure it for themselves .
However this may be, it is a fact that the Mani-
nians are organising manifestations everywhere.
They have even made the attempt here, but two
gendarmes who happened to be passing sufficed to
put it down. It will probably be renewed to-mor-
row. It seems that the most active members of
the Genoa Committee have come here for the pur-
pose_ The Diritto of this morning pretends that M.
Mordini and his friends have no official mission,
and have never been in communication with the
Ministers. All that may be literally true without
the contrary being absolutely false. Such missions
have al ways a spontaneous and ostensibly unautho-
rised character." _ _

Another letter from Turin, in the siecle, says—
" The road which Garibaldi is taking in the midst
of the mountains is that which will lead him to
Taormina, where he doubtless reckons on being
able to embark for the Calabrias. This march
across Sicily, in the most dreary part of the coun-
try, can be comprehended, whereas the descent of
the volunteers towards Girgenti can only lead to
the embarkation of a few hundreds of them on
board of some steamer. In reality the Government
has received no positive news, which shows that the
telegraphic lines are interrupted in several places.
I am informed that Colonel Nullo and 50 of his com-
panions, who had been interdicted from landing at
Palermo, have succeeded in reaching snot her point
on the coast, and that they are on their march to
join Garibaldi."

A body of Antioquianians nad entered the town
of Mariquita, but were afterwards repulsed.
Mosquera had issued a decree declaring Antioquia
in a state of blockade, and prohibiting all traffic

HEALTH OF LONDON DURING .21.11 E

WEEK.

(From the Registrar-General's Weekly Return.)
The number of deaths registered in London in
the week that ended on Saturday was 1,181. The
average number (corrected) for corresponding weeks
in 10 previous years, 1852-61, was 1,312. The
number in the present return was less by 131 tbate
it would have been if the average rate of mortality
for the beginning of August bad prevailed.
Diarrtwa continues slowly to increase; it was
fatal last week in 89 cases. A larger proportion of
these occurred in the Western group of districts
than in any other metropolitan division. Besides
the 89 deaths classed under diarrhoea, 18 were re-
ferred to cholera, chiefly " cholera infantum."
In
Wick-road, Hackney, a fringe- maker,aged 58 years,
died of" cholera," after three days' illness. In New
North-street, Shoreditch, a woman, aged 76, died
of " choleraic diarrhoea." At Raven-terrace, Mile-
end Old-town, a woman, aged 44 years, died of
" cholera biliosa," after 52 hours' illness, At 54,
Underwood-street, Mile-end New-town, a farrier,
aged 75 years, died of " cholera Asiatica" after one
day's illness. The medical attendant describes the
last case as "very well marked." There were 7
deaths from smallpox in the week, and 55 fromi
measles. Four fatal cases of the latter disease oc-.
curred in Somers-town, four in the sub-district of
St. James, ClerkenWell, six in Haggerstone East.
It prevails chiefly in the east districts, and there
appears to be but little of it on the south side of the
river. Scarlatina, which wasiMal in 72 cases, num-
bered nearly a third part of these in the east divi-
sion. It carried off seven childree
in Kensington.
A woman died at the age of 96 yeas s.
Last week the births of 883 boys and 874 girls,in
all 1,757 children, were registered in London. In
the 10 corresponding weeks of the years 1852-61
the average number (corrected) was 1,765.
At the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, the mean
height of the barometer in the week was 29.587 lib
The reading rose to 29.93 in. on Sunday, and fell to
29 19 in. on Thursday. The mean temperature ,ef
the air in the week was 59.7 deg., which is 2 3 deg"
below the average of the same week in 43 years (as
determined by Mr. Glaisher). The mean daily tem-
perature was below the average on every day ex-
cept Tuesday. The highest day temperature and
the lowest night temperature occurred on the same
day, viz., Sunday ; they were respectively 76 8 deg.,
and 48.7 deg. The range of the thermometer was.,
therefore, 28.1 deg., both on that day and in the'
week. The mean daily range was 19.9 deg. The
difference between the mean dew poiet temperature
and air temperature was 7.6 deg. The mean degree
of humidity of the air was 78, complete saf uratiott
being represented by 100. The wind blew eg
from the south-west. The mean of the highest tem-
perature of the water of the Thames was 66's deg.'
the mean of the lowest was 64.3 deg. A thermome-
ter in the sun rose to 123 deg. on Sunday and ;
Mon-
day. Half an inch of rain fell in the week, of
nearly half fell en Thursday. The remainder
fell
on Sunday, and in smaller amounts on three et"
days.
