(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)
WARSAW, JUNE 28.
We are now here month-opened, and all expecta-
tion at the result of the many decrees published
and reforms promised by the Emperor, none of
which has as yet been put into execution. So far
as the wording of these reforms, particularly in the
sphere of public instruction, goes, it is no doubt
deserving of the general approbation, and does
credit to its real author, the Marquis Wielopolski.
But to satisfy the people, wounded and humiliated
in its dearest feelings and aspirations, requires
more than empty words, and time must be given
for the trial of these reforms. The most important
branch of education, and so much wanted in this
country, is that of civil engineering and agricul-
ture ; and, with a view to supply this deficiency, a
polytechnic and agricultural institute has been de-
cided upon, in lieu of the present gymnasium of
Warsaw. This new institute is to be established at
Pulawy (which the Russians now call New Alexan-
dria), the magnificent country residence of the
lamented Prince Adam Czartoryski, which, with
his other immense estates, had been confiscated by
the Emperor Nicholas. Thus, at least, the spoil of
the late Czar has been turned to some public ad-
vantage, and no more appropriate place could have
been selected for such a purpose.
You will doubtless recollect my mentioning the
arrest of some young Russian officers on the charge
of spreading revolutionary ideas in the army.
After n- f,-;41 by court-martial in the citadel they
were sentenced to be shot, which sentence Gover-
nor• General Luders having approved, with the con-
sent of the Emperor, they were executed on the
27th inst. This atrocious proceeding led to re-

venge from a Russian, who having fired at General
Luders in the Saxen Garden, and wounded him it
the neck, threw down the pistol, and effected his
escape from the garden through a side gate into the
place called the Irongate, and disappeared. The
police, under some futile pretexts, have made many
arrests among the most innocent people. The offi-
cial gazette. Dziennok, Powszechny, gives the fol-
lowing account of this occurrence :—" This 27th day
of June, at half-past seven o'clock in the morning,
his excellency, Count Luders, performing the duties
of the Lieutenant of the Kingdom, was wounded in
the back of the neck by a shot from a firearm of
a small calibre. The bullet having knocked out one
tooth passed through the right cheek, and in its
course slightly grazed the arm of a woman that was
standing close by. The wound of his excellency
presents no danger. The perpetrator of this hor-
rible attempt has not been discovered."
Little as the authorities try to make of the event,
it is a very significant one, for it shows to demon-
stration how deep is the sympathy among the
Russian youth in political matters. And when we
consider what passes now in St. Petersburg—that
old and highly renowned periodicals and journals
have been suspended on the ground of liberal ten-
dencies—that the fires all over the country seem to
be on the increase—that a visible discontent reigns
in the army, and a general distress pervades all
classes of the community—it must be acknowledged
that a storm is approaching which to all appearance
