prescribed by the same law have not been observed. As to
the first, the sentence K ill be confirmed or amended ; and
with regard to the second, the sentence will likewise be con-
firmed, or its nullity will be pronounced; and a new trial

firmed, those who have committed the fault will be considered
responsible.

NICHOLAS' SPEECH AT WARSAW.

POLAND.

The Berlin political Wochenbtail, of the 19th Decernkr,
has the following article :
" For reasons which the reader will easily appreciate, e e
have hitherto taken no notice of the remarkable Speech of
the Emperor of Russia to the Deputies of Warsaw, er of the
truly unbecoming attacks which the Journal des Debats of tri-
coloured ill-humour thought fit to make on the language of the
Monarch. With respect to the Speech, it seems that we
ought clearly to determine the point of view in which aline it
can be properly judged of. It is manifestly very different
whether a Sovereign (even when he has reason to express
disapprobation) addresses subjects that have been attached to
his House by ties that subsisted for centuries, or to such as
k have lately become his subjects—or, lastly, to the latter—
after the quelling of an insurrection, when he, besides, feels
convinced that the vanquished are less defigient in inclination
than in means to repeat the attempt. The Emperor Nicholas
was in the last situation. The second case occurred when the
Emperor Alexander regulated the future situation of his new Po-
lish subjects who had come under his dominion by the right of
conquest, recognized by all Europe ; for let it, not be forgotten
that the Duchy of Warsaw as one of Napoleon's allies in
1812 waged an open war against Russia, that it was conquered
in fair battle, and on the conclusion of peace ceded to the con-
queror, by its Sovereign, against whose legitimacy even
liberalism itself did not venture to. allege a doubt. In what
spirit the Conqueror spoke to the Poles, and acted for them,
is notorious to the whole world. It knows likewise, that the
most favoured subjects of the 'Monarch began these insur-
rections by an attempt to murder his brother, and confirmed
by declaring the deposition of the house of Romanoff. It
learns from the speech, that secret instigations, proceeding
from foreign countries, are still carried on, for the purpose of
bringing about a repetition of those scenes, which have already
brought incalculable evils on the country. This is, in plain
words, the state of the case, and what is surprising in the
matter is chiefly that this (certainly disagreeable) state of things
is exhibited clearly and unveiled, whereas in the greater part of
the rest of Europe the official assurances of attachment
and loyalty, even where their hollowness is notorious, are ac-
cepted, at least apparently, at par, and in many places it seems
to be adopted as an axiom, that if we can succeed in blinding
ourselves and others to a danger, it ceases to be dangerous.
Such a mode of treating the subject was equally contrary to
the clear understanding and the manly character of the Em-
' peror ; he spoke the plain truth, and it is not his fault if this
truth has a harsh sound. It may be lamented that things
were come to this point, but no impartial person will blame the
Monarch for seeing them as they really are. Perhaps there
are many points in Western Europe, from which the most violent
outcries have proceeded, where such language, though not
advisable, would be conformable to the truth ; and it is notori-
ous that in sonic cases, that has been actually done there
which was here only spoken of prospectiveiy; ,but we are far
from intending to institute a comparison, because the difference
of personal situations will not admit of it."
The Leuchtharme, a new Frankfort paper, has the follow-
ing remarks on the speech of the Emperor:_" Let us sup-
pose that the Municipal body had made a humble speech to
the Emperor—that, in the name of its nation, it had said a
Paler peccavi—let us suppose that the Emperor, though con-
vinced in his mind that this was all hypocrisy, had in the usual
style promised in gracious terms oblivion of the past, had laid
the blame of the insurrection on the ringleaders, who had fled,
and shown himself as an easy placable Sovereign to his de-
luded now repentant subjects—what would the Journals of
London and Paris have said then? They would have re-
proached the Municipal Body with miserable cowardice, and
base treachery ; at the best, they would have ascribed the ex-
pressions of repentance to fear of the chastisement of Russia ;
and they would probably have told the Emperor that he abused
his exalted station, in expecting an unhappy nation to
feign sentiments which it did not feel, and to pretend
in his answer to believe in the sincerity of a repentance, re-
specting the real value of which the truth could be no secret
to him. Thus, however the speech at Warsaw had been
framed, it would have been sure of being latterly censured."

On Monday evening last, as Mr. Philip Woolcott,
of Sherborne, was on his return home in his gig, his horse
took fright in Marson-road, and fell ; the carriage was
upset,• and he was thrown out with such violence that he
ruptured a blood-vessel in the head, producing apoplexy.
He was taken home in a state of total insensibility, and me-
dical assistance was immediately procured ; but, notwith-
standing all remedial means were promptly resorted to, we
regret to add that he died the following morning. An in-
quest was held upon the body on Wednesday, before Mr.
T. Fooks, coroner for the division, and a most respectable
jury, when a verdict was returned of " Accidental death."
