FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.
WARSAW, Nov. 19.

Reports full of falsehood are being circulated by
the police that a general rising is fast approaching
in Poland, merely to have a pretext for taking the
most severe and uncalled-for measures with regard
to the population, and to go on arresting all young
men on the ground of suspicion. A regular razzia
is thus being made—numerous victims are drafted
away from the country to be incorporated into the
Russian regiments, and every law, promulgated with
a view to show to Europe the legality of the Mus-
covite Government, is trampled upon and disre-
garded. It is hardly credible how easily the press
of Western Europe is imposed upon by th© appa-
rent earnestness of the Russian Government to do
any good to this oppressed nation. Under the
shield of so many beneficial reforms, which
only figure on paper, is veiled the most hideous
despotism that an Asiatic rule is capable [of
practising; and yet with but a few isolated cases
the people cease not to display a patience and dig-
nity worthy of a better fate. Alexander the
Second, called the well-intentioned Monarch, if he
truly cares for the welfare of her subjects, should
pause in this suicidal policy before he exposes his
much shaken empire to inevitable ruin., Already
a most ominous change is pervading the Russian
army ; the high as well as the subaltern officers
take an active part in spreading ideas subversive of
the actual state of things, tending to enlighten the
soldiers of the degrading condition to which the
honourable vocation of the military has been re-
duced. To such a degree has this policy manifested
itself that the Emperor has been obliged to remove
from St Petersburg to Moscow, to avoid the results
of so unpleasant a position. This discontent has
been strongly exemplified in the condemnation by
a court-martial held at Wilose on two officers of the

Imperial Guard. One of them, Lieutenant. Colonel
Krassowski, sentenced to death, has had his sen-
tence commuted by the Emperor into 12 years'
hard labour in the mines of Siberia; and
the other, Lieutenant Gregorsiff, was deprived
of his rank, and sent to the more distant parts of
Siberia, and both lost all their titles and privileges
as nobles of the Empire.
The Government keep the most complete silence
in the Council of State, and has not yet published
any proceedings of that body for the present year.
Still the public seem to know what passes there,
and it is a fact that on the 10th inst. a most ani-
mated debate took place on the knotty peasant
question. A Government project for the appoint-
ment of a commission, should the district council
fail in nominating a delegation to settle the rela-
tions between the landowners and the peasantry,
was warmly combated by M. Francis Wenglinski,

on the ground that such a commission would set

aside the principle of voluntary settlement on
which was derided the final solution of this mat-
ter. The Marquis Wieolopolski, of course, de-
fended the project of the Government, which was
rejected by the majority of the members pre-
sent, and a sort of compromise effected
enjoining the Government to select the commissice
from among the citizens qualined to be elected
to servo in the district councils.

In my last communication I mentioned to you
the violent transportation of the Marshals of the
nobility of Podolia. to St. Petersburg, for pre-
senting an address to the Emperor, embodying
the wishes of the population of that province.
The Marshals having been, at onoe, incarcerated
in the state prison, tha petition was then con-
sidered by the Emperor, who, having made him-
self the accuser of the parties, has ordered them
to be judged by the Senate, returning the fol-
lowing reply to the address :

"His Imperial Majesty, after hearing at the Council of
Ministers the report of the Minister for Home Affairs on
the illegal petition presented by the Podolian nobles, has
observed that the nobles who had signed the petition ap-
proved of at the provincial assembly did not express in it
the real local wants of their own province, which they were
empowered to do by law, but rashly criticising the system
of government existing in pursuance of the fundamental
laws of the State, showed their disposition to alter this
system, and to imperil the unity and coherence of the em-
pire. Observing that the chief offenders in the matter are
the deputy-marshal of the province and the marshals of
districts, who not only did not endeavour to convince the
nobles of the illegality of the petition signed at the provin-
cial assembly of nobles which took place at Kamieniec, as
by their oath and in discharge of their duty they were
bound to do, but even themselves signed this offensive
petition, his Imperial Majesty ordered, on the 9th (21st)
October, as follows :
"First.—The deputy-marshal of the province and all the
district marshals who signed this criminal petition shall be
tried by the Senate of the Government, and removed from
the situations they occupy.
" Second.—Till further orders their places shall be
filled by persons in whom the Government may trust
nominated by the Crown, and notwithstanding their rank
or class, does not qualify them for these appointments."

The most galling part bf this proceeding is that
the Emperor admits, on the part of the Poles, the
right of petitioning, as in conformity with the laws
established, and 'yet treats with disdain a demand
couched in the most moderate and respectful terms,
for rights and enjoyments guaranteed by the Treaty
of 1815, as well as by the solemn engagements and
promises of his predecessors—a demand exposing
the persecutions and grievances under which the
people are groaning, and humbly entreating redress,
and for all this the benevolent monarch sends them
to be tried by the highest tribunal in the country.
This is the climax of injustice more dishonourable
to the Emperor than to the suffering Poles.
The lectures in the High School of Warsaw are
to open very shortly, the solemn inauguration of the
institution being postponed, as the number of neces-
sary professors could not yet be completed. The
poor old Marquis Wielopolski is trying his best to
procure from all parts of Europe men best qualified
to fulfil the vacant places, but they are not so easily
attracted to a country where arrogance on the part
of the Marquis, and most detestable tyranny on that
of the Russian Government, are not a great induce-
ment to persons of high intellectual acquirements,
and moral independent feelings.

THE REMOVAL OF ST. THOMAS'S HOSPITAL.—
Last evening an adjourned meeting of the rector, church-
wardens, and vestrymen of the parish of St. Mary's, Lam-
beth, was held at the vestry-hall, Kennington, for the pur-
pose of considering certain communications relative to the
removal of St. Thomas's Hospital—Mr. R. Taylor in the
chair. Mr. Roffey (the vestry clerk) read a long letter from
the physicians and surgeons of the hospital, intimating that
they deemed it right to place on record and make public
their opinions on the course which would best conduce to
the medical usefulness of the charity, such opinion being
against the removal of the hospital. A letter was also read
from Mr. Birt (the vestry clerk of St. George the Martyr,
Southwark), asking the parish of Lambeth to co-operate
with other metropolitan parishes in the attempt to resist
the threatened removal of the hospital, and requesting the
vestry to appoint representatives to a committee of the
metropolitan parishes. Mr. Fowler moved a resolution ap-
pointing two members of the vestry to represent the parish
at the board of delegates from the metropolitan parishes.
The motion having been secondedte itxvas
oppositionca to tho
unani-
mously, and a BUM of money was also voted towardsried
defray-
ing the expenses of carrying on the
re-
moval of the hospital.

The Malta Times has the following A se-
rious accident occurred here, on the 16th, to Mr. Nelson
Byng, a midshipman of the Marlborough. Whilst out
riding, he was thrown from his horse, causing concussion
of the brain. Ho was taken in an insensible state to the
Naval Hospital. Serious fears were at first entertained for
his remery, but he is now_imprQviDg."
