sinter at Drury-lan.! Theatre, and the young girl has been in
, 1-•.-iee for iorne months. On the da) iu question he had
given her some money and leave to visit her friends. Witness
is a married man; has heard Mrs. Jones say she is subject
to fits.

Mr. Inspector Pearce of the A division, and several of his
private3,were examined, from whose united evidence it appeared
that the girl was conveyed to the station-house, where she fell
into hysterics, and a doctor was sent for. When she came to
herself she complained of assault and robbery. She was taken
to a coach stand, when she pointed out Dixon as the driver
of the cab from Bow-street to St. Martin's-lane. Sullivan
was apprehended by the inspctor the next day at the " Old
Drury," when the duplicate of the stolen brooch was found in
his pocket.
Mr. DOANE addressed the Jury for Dixon, and submitted
that Dixon had no hand in the robbery.
The COMMON-SERGEANT told the Jury that if they believed
that Dixon contemplated the commission of another offence
by Sullivan, he could not well be convicted of being a parti-
cipator in the robbery.
The Jury consulted for a considerable time, and then re-
turned a verdict of Guilty against Sullivan, adding, " we are
obliged to acquit Dixon upon this indictment, and we are very
sorry for it."
The COMMON- SERGEANT told Dixon that had he been in-
dicted in another form, he might not have been so fortunate ;
with respect to Sullivan, he had been convicted of a very se-
rious offence. Children like the prosccutrix must be pro-
tected from fellows like him ; and it was right that every cab-
man should know that persons committing such offences would
ever be severely punished. The judgment of the Court was,
that he be transported beyond the seas for the term of ten
years.

John Bateman was convicted of stealing a pair of trousers,
and other articles, the property of George Trundle, Esq.
The prisoner was again convicted for that he, in the seventh
year of the late reign, was imprisoned for one year, on a con-
viction of felony.
The COMMON-SERGEANT sentenced him to seven years'
transportation.

POLISH REVOLUTION-(THIS
DAY.)

.The Eighth Anniversary celebration of the Polish Revo-
ution of 1830 took place this day at the Crown and Anchor
Tavern, Strand. The chair was taken at a quarter to two
o'clock by Lord DUDLEY STEWART, M. P., and on the plat-
form we observed Admiral Napier, Edward Bcales, Esq.,
Dr. Birkbeck, Colonel Thompson, G. A. Young. Esq., Dr.
Wade, &c. &c. There were also several distinguished Poles,
among whom we observed General Dwernicki, A. N. Dy-
bowski, S. Kozmian, and a number of respectable ladies.
The CITAIRNIAN, on presenting himself, was loudly cheered.
He said the object of the present meeting was to commemorate
the commencement of the last Polish Revolution. In 1830 the
Poles bad, for the long period of fifty years, submitted silently
and quietly to the oppression inflicted upon them by foreign
tyrants, who, forgetting the dictates of humanity and justice,
and despising the treaties by which they were bound, continued
to inflict upon the Polish people the most grinding oppression.
On Nov. 29, 1830, was commenced by a few enthusiastic
and patriotic individuals, that revolution which has since filled
the world with the fame of its brilliant exploits—its un-
equalled struggle—its melancholly end; and which, unhap-
pily, filled Poland with blood and tears, and sent her sons as
wanderers and refugees throughout the nations of Europe.—
( Cheers. ) It was impossible to contemplate such an event
without feelings of the most mixed and opposite character—ad-
miration for the devoted patriotism of that nation which pervaded
all classes, and was not confined, as has been falsely and ca-
lumniously stated, to one particular class, but was common
alike to the Noble and the peasant—to all classes, all ages, and
both sexes.—( Loud cheers.) Admiration must be felt for
that devoted patriotism, for the daring and almost romantic
exploits of her heroes in arms—indignation against the tyrants
who having subdued the nation not by fair fighting and
prowess, but by treachery and overwhelming numbers, had
sated their vengeance on its unhappy people by ever spe-
cies of cruelty. They should also feel pain when they looked
at home and recollected the unworthy part which was played
by their own country at that time, when they could not
but feel that England stood aloof and permitted those things
to be done, when she had only, not to make even an effort,
but merely to unite a line of a despatch, and the success
of that glorious attempt would have been certain, and a bul-
wark would have been raised against the aggressions of Russia
which they now had to lament the want of, and which could
not be obtained without the outlay of millions of money.—
( Hisses, and a cry of " It was not the English people, but
the Whig Minister.") They had met that day to celebratean
important event, and they had on that occasion a
great and solemn duty to perform—to enter their pro-
test against the conduct of tyrants—to proclaim their
detestation of their acts, and their unqualified admiration and
love of the cause of Poland. It was the cause not of party
but of something much greater, and higher, and nobler.
They were not met to advocate the cause of Democracy or
of Aristocracy ; and they were not there to maintain the cause
of Whig, or Tory, or Radical, but to maintain the cause of a
great, ancient, and noble nation—to testify their admiration of
their struggles—to bear witness to the sacredness of their
cause, when twenty millions of men declared that the) would
be free, and that they could not, and would not, submit
to the rule of the foreigner.—( Hear, and loud cheering.)
The Polish Revolution could not be confounded with any
other; it was very different from all others. It was not a
struggle between men of different principles—it was a struggle
of one nation against another nation.—( Cheers.) So much
was it so that the Poles had friends among all parties—it was
the struggle of a whole nation against a foreign tyrant, and every
party acknowledged the righteousness of the cause.—( Cheers. )
There was a principle deeply fixed in the human breast against
the rule of a foreigner—of one who did not speak the same
language—how much then was it sure to burn in the
breasts of the Poles who were ruled not only by one who
spoke not their language, but prohibited them from
speaking their own.—( Cheers.) That meeting was, he
considered engaged in a solemn act, free from all party feel-
ing, and he trusted the proceedings would be carried on
without recrimination and without personalities. They were
strong in the goodness of their cause, and had no need
to appeal to the passions. They were met to do honour
to the heroes and martyrs who laid down their lives on the
field of battle while they combated for liberty. In doing so they
must not forget to encourage those gallant and noble-
minded men who struggled in the same cause, and who
were now amongst them—men who for the sake of
their country had preferred to enter upon the hard,
rugged, and thorny path of exile, rather than enjoy
the 'sweets of home under a tyrant.--( Loud cheering.)
They were to encourage and cheer them by holding such
meetings as these, and sure he was that they would receive
encouragement and consolation from seeing a large number of
the people of the vast metropolis of England assembled
to commemorate such a day as the 29th of November. The
path upon which those noble-minded men had entered was
indeed a rugged one, and it required much fortitude to endure
such a lot. As so many of them were present, he could not
help appealing to them relating to the great duties they
were called upon to perform while in a foreign land.
It was in their power to do their country much good
by devoting the hour of adversity to storing their minds and
preparing themselves for the restoration to their country,
which he fully hoped to see. They ought to bear in mind
that it was very important that they should continue to deserve
the respect of the nation, and they ought also to bear in mind
that the opinion of the character of their nation would be
taken from their own conduct.—( Cheers. ) Some people
thought the idea of recovering Poland was absurd, but be did
not think so, and he never had done so. From what they saw
passing now in Europe—when he saw the jealousies which
were springing up amongst the three Northern Powers—he
could not but encourage great hope that the day of Poland'sye-
storation was not far off. Let the Poles be united amongst
themselves, and they must conquer. He would not detain
them longer ; but before he sat down be would mention that
he had received letters from -Mr. Attwood and Lord Strang-
ford, who both regretted they were unable to attend the meet-
ing, but they were heart and soul in the cause. The Noble
Chairman then called upon
Mr. A. N. DYBOWSKI then addressed the meeting in a very
eloquent strain, pointing out the miseries and persecutions
which Poland had been subjected to, and the humiliat-
i,;e• position in which she was at present placed. It
might be asked, what should be done to effect the
restoration of Poland ? They did not seek diplo-
matic interfereixe, or the protection of other nations,
for protection meant dependence.—( Loud cheers.) When it
was known that Poland could command 600,000 national
soldiers, every one of whom was equal to two of the slaves
who opposed them, could it be supposed that they re-
quired the assistance of the sabres of foreign nations ?
( Loud cries of " No, no.") No—a thousand times no.
—( Great cheering.) After alluding to the police regu-
lations, by which arms, ammunition, and all muskets of
that sort were prohibited by the Russians in Poland, Mr.
Dybowski observed that what Poland wanted was a national
Government which would know how to administer to her
wants, and that no foreign nation could supply them with.—
( Great cheering.) No nation could pretend to give the
Poles a better Government than they could give themselves.
--(Cheers.) Mr. Dybowski then alluded to the labours of
the Polish Emigrant Committee in forming political associ-
ations and circulating patriotic publications.

The Meeting had-not concluded up to the hour we went to
press.)
