POLAND.

WARSAW, APRIL 20.—The reports are confirmed that
the Emperor has been very unwell for several weeks.
Nearly every day a number of political offenders arrive
here. They had been sentenced to Siberia, but subse-
quently pardoned by the Emperor. Several young Poles
of rank who aro serving in the Russian army had lately
been promoted and distinguished with the Russian order
of merits, a circumstance which has never before been
known to take dlaco.

These improvements are a'cribed to the endeavours of
the le!r apparent to gain the affectiens of the Polish
nation.

There is no doubt that momentous events are at
band. The artillery depots are at work day
and night. Troops are coming and going, but
not even the supreme officers know the place
of their destination. No ore, however, imagines that
there will be a conflict with Prussia. The concentration
of the troops on the frontiers merely serves to prevent
the Poles from giving ae,ive ussit•tance to revolutionists
in the neighbouring countries. Paskewi!z, himself has
has said as much. On the oth. r hand, all can see
plainly enough that Russia intends to break with the
Porte.

Some of our great merchants received an admonition
a few weeks since to be on their guard in their intercourse
with Turkey.—Cologne Gazette, April 28.

ITALY.
Letters from Venice, of the 18. h inst., state that the
Sardinian squadron had sailed off, notwithstanding the pro-
mise made by Albini to the Governor of Ancona. Seven
Austrian ships of war arrived off Venice in the evening
of the 17th, when the blockade commenced. In the
morning of the 18th, however, the mail steamer, wi;l3
several sailing vessels, two of which, laden with provi-
sions, succeed( d in entering the harbour. Venice was
tranquil, and prepared to offer an energetic resistance to
the Austrians.

Letters from Turin Of the 25th instant announce that
' the Austrians entered Alessandria at six o'clock P.M. on
the 24th. Their foie() consisted of a Croatian•lllyrian
battalion of the Regiment Buckovina, a Wallachi4n
regiment, and two batteries of artillery, forming
together 3,000 men. One half was quartered in the
citadel, and the other in the town. The population
remained perfectly tranquil. General La Marmora had
a long conference with the Ministry at Turin after
which he returned to Genoa. ,
The Ticino Gazette of the 25th inst., publishes an
order of the Council of State of that Canton, dated Lu-
gano, 24th, banishing therefrom in 48 hours all the
Italian refugees who bad been denied leave to reside in
the canton and had nevertheless retnain(d in it,
and those who having entered it since the late political
events bud not applied for that leave. All the inn
keepers and habitants, who should receive them, were
to pay a fine of 25 francs for each infraction to that order

to progress so favourably that it is expected they will
be able to leave Stanfield Hall, in a few days. The

6s. 6d. The Duke of. Cambridge has sent 10/.
Dispatches were received Yesterday, at the Colonial-
office, from the Governors of the Cape of Good Hope
and West and South Australia.
The Duke and Duchess of Montrose have arrived
in Belgrave-square, from Paris. The Noble Duke and
Duchess received a distinguished circle to dinner, on
Saturday, at their mansion.
Yesterday morning the Bishop of Lichfield de-
livered a sermon at the chapel of King's College, on be-
half of the Hospital, in Portugal-street, Lincoln's Inn-
fields. The Right Rev. Prelate very eloquently and ener-
getically advocated the peculiar claims of the charity,
the necessity of which was fully evinced, not alone from
the density of population surrounding King's College
Hospital, but from the fact of nearly 20;000 individuals
having participated in its benefits during the past year.
At the conclusion of Divine service, a very liberal col-
lection was made on behalf of the funds of the charity.
SPORTING LOTTERIES, &C.—At a special meeting
of magistrates, held on Saturday in the Board-room of
the Holborn Union Workhouse, Mr. Whisken (the
chairman), said that too much publicity could not be
given to the unanimous determination of the licensing
magistrates of the county of Middlesex, which was, that
in future, wherever it was proved by the police, or other
disinterested testimony, that a publican had exhibited
betting lists on his premises, or permitted gambling of
any description, his licence would most assuredly be
taken away from him; and some of his brother magis-
trates went so far as to say that they would not even
sanction the transfer of a licence to either an out- going
or in-coming tenant proved to have been guilty of such
an offence.

CLERKENWELL COUNTY COURT.—THE COUNTY
COURTS BILL.--WANThD A JUDGE.—On Saturday, and
six other days within the last fortnight, much dissatis-
faction was expressed at this court, in consequence o
1,150 cases having been put down for trial—that is, at
the rate of 150 a day, but, owing to the death of Mr.
Starkie, the late judge, the proceedings have been sus-
pended, much to the inconvenience of a ♦ast number of
witnesses, &c. The evil is a very serious one, as affecting
the general working of the Bill. There are now up-
wards of 6,000 plaints nnheard, and the appointment of
•judge, with an assistant, is anxiously looked for,

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.
TA TTERS AL L'S. —SATURDAY.
It will be seen from the subj.nned quotations that
R-sthmines and Mahon have bee,irne very prominent
favourites for the Chester Cup. The first is stated to
have been tried on Friday, of _course favourably, fur the
money was laid out so freely on the following day, that
he became fiat favourite, the highest current offers at
the close of the room being 7 to 1; Mahon sprung from
the rear rank to 15 to 1, and had a great number of
friends. The only animal backed of John Day's
lot was Joe o-Sot, his price fluctuating from 7
to 9 to 1; Fernhill, Halo, Dacia, and Blucher,
were about equal favourites, the two first men-
tioned being most in demand. The Derby prices varied
but little from the last quoted from Newmarket. Nunny-
kirk was in favour in several quarters. A new outsider
—the Old Fox—was backed to win twelve or fourteen
thousand pounds, at 100 to 1; he is trained near Canter-
bury. The Oaks betting is noticeable only for the ad-
vent of a dark mare, named Lady Jersey, and trained at
Danebury.
