BOURSE, April 9.—The market still continues in-
active, and prices have been well maintained, and
even a slight improvement obtained on the closing
rate of yesterday, Threes, for the Account, being
now at 69f. 95c. There has not been much doing
in Railway Shares, and in some cases the prices are
rather lower. Tim following were the last quota-

minds upon any topic of the most vital impor-
tance to the country, it is well known how it
would be strained and distorted by those high in
office before it could reach the Czar, and whose
interest is to keep the monarch misinformed, that
they may exercise their tyrannical authority,
which is a calamity to Poland, and a scandal to
Europe. No one more than the Poles would re-
joice in any good reform for the benefit of the
country ; but they must be bona fide reforms,
coming from whatever quarter they may, and
carried out by men possessing public confidence,
and acting for the good of the people, and the
honour of the Sovereign. This, I believe, is the
key to the possible reconciliation between the
Czar and the Poles, and unless it be conceded, I
see no prospect of any lasting tranquillity.
Some days ago, as if to show that the system
of extreme severity has been relaxed, an order was
issued to throw open the public gardens of this city
—a favour which does not seem to be much cared
for by the people. Scarcely any one is to be seen
in them, except little children with their nurses,
and a legion of police agents enjoying the freshness
of the spring. The state of siege still continuing,
one is as much as ever exposed to the insults and
vexations of every official and soldier, who can
stop you, question you, and frequently order you to
unbutton your great-coat, in suspicion that you are
wearing underneath it some prohibited garment.
It appears that the report of the torture of Alex-
ander Zamoyski, circulated in the foreign journals,
has attracted the notice of the Russian Government,
who are most desirous of effacing the painful im-
pression it caused in Europe. With a view to hush
up this atrocious proceeding, a commission was
appointed, which proceeded to the Citadel, where
Zamoyski is imprisoned, and, as the official docu-
ment, signed by the members, announces, convinced
themselves by his verbal assurance that he had not,
since his incarceration, received any corporal punish-
ment. Why the commission was not composed
of some citizens on whom the public can place re-
liance, instead of a Russian General and the Chief
of the Police, whose official looks were sufficient to
frighten the prisoner into any avowal, and thus
the document was drawn up and signed in the Cita-
del of Warsaw. This alone speaks volumes.
From the anarchy which prevails among the
Russian officials of every rank, it may be that the
horrible treatment never received the sanction of
the General Luders, the Governor of Poland, but
was an act of some of those brutal, and so well-
known for their ferocity, Generals Roznor and
Krzysanowski, worthy imitators of Platoner, whose
motto was to beat and ill-treat the Poles until peace
was restored.

The misery and political degradation to which
the inhabitants of Lithuania are reduced, deter-
mined Count Starzynski, Marshal of the Nobility,
to submit to the Emperor a letter couched in re-
spectful but energetic terms, in which he called the
attention of his Majesty to this deplorable state of
things, and submitted as a remedy the grant of the
following demands :

1. The re-establishment of the ancient statutes of
Lithuania, with such modifications as are in har-
mony with the spirit of the age.
2. Abolition of all the laws contrary to the
liberty of conscience.

3. The restoration of the University of Wilna.
4. The election by the citizens of the adminis-
trative and judicial authorities, as is the case in
other Russian provinces.

5. The right for the citizens to found any com-
mercial, agricultural, industrial associations, with-
out requiring any sanction from the Government.
The Emperor has referred this letter to the
Council of the Empire, but no better success is
expected from this than from other applications of
the same nature.
