Poutm FRONTIERS, JAN. 10.-The number of Russian
troops in the kingdom of Poland, is increasing in a re-
markable manner, by the addition of troops from tbe
againo f dragoons, abgeoe
interior of the, kingdom, especially.'since the roads have

Polishe frontiers
onnt
Idi iferent parts of the kingdom. Now, as everything here
is perfectly still, it is difficult to conjecture what may be
the object of these reinforcements of troops, and we begin
to suppose that there may besome truth in the former re-
ports, which indeed have not e holly died away, respect-
ing the conversion of the kingdom of Poland into Russian
government.

FROM THE 'WINE, JAN. 12.--While some public
journals bring the information that negotiations are
now carrying on between the Dutch Government and
the Zellverein, in order to conclude a commercial
con-
vention which may be suitable to the interests of Ger-
many and of Holland, we learn from an authentic source
that France has likewise lately made some attempts to
enter into a convention with the Cabinet at the Hague;
in consequence of which, _ the treaty of commerce and
navigation concluded on the 25th of July, 1840, will
undergo an entire change, to adapt it to present circum-
stances. Six years experience has shown that the ad-
vantages which were expected, both in France and in
the Netherlands, have not been realised.
BERLIN, JAN. 15.—1 t is now decided that the mili-
of the province of Posen shall be
tary occupation
strengthened, the whole of the sth corps of the army will
in future be garrisoned in that province. The cavalry
regiments will be quartered in the small towns, the
artillery and infantry will be divided between Posen,
Griesen, and Bromberg.
HAMBURG, JAN. 22.—The London Mail of the 19th
had not arrived when we went to press. The state of
the ice in the Lower Elbe, and in the mouth of the river,
is scarcely changed, on account of the south and south-
west winds being too faint to clear the channel entirely
of floating ice. There has been no fresh ice for some
days here; above the-stream has been gradually freed
from the ice
—The wind being from the

south-west, the floating ice is increased on this bank.
A thaw has set in.
VIENNA, JAN. 17.—His Majesty has been pleased to
appoint the son of the late Archduke Palatine, the Arch-
duke Stephen, to be locum-tenens of the dignity of the
Palatine of Hungary. This imperial decision was made
known to the Chanelry of HLlDgary.
GALICIAN FRONTIERS, JAN. 1.1.---The 29th of this
month is the day fixed for the union of Cracow with the
Austrian Custom-house line.
The negotiations of M. von Kanvtz ceased some
weeks ago, and the final declaration of the Vienna Ca-
binet is already dispatched to Berlin. It remains to be
seen whether, in case the Russian Government should
not be satisfied with the concession made by Austria
with regard to the entrepots, it might not be advisable to
refer the further discussions on the subject to the Con-
ferences at Vienna, which were appointed to discuss the
affairs of Cracow, and are not yet broken up. A report
has been lately spread of the discovery of a conspiracy
at Cracow ; whether there is any truth in it must ap-
pear
in a few days.

DEATH FROM THE BITE OF A PlG.—About
fortnight ago an elderly man, named Thomas Green, living
at Bare, Lar.cashire, had his umb severely bitten by a pig,
whilst engaged in " ringing" it. The wound inflamed, and
produced death.

Her Excellency the Marchioness of Normanby
gave on Friday evening a brilliant soirée dansante, at which
the chief rank and fashion of Paris were present. There waM
a full attendance of the diplomatic circle. Amongst the dis-
tinguished personages were noticed Marshal Sault, Count
Mole, and M. Thiers.

DARING ROBBERY AT SIR CHARLES PRICE AND
Co.'s BANiuNG-tionsir..—On Saturday a lady named Hovill,
residing at 17, Magdalen- circus, Southwark, went to the
above bank to obtain cash for a cheque for 1257. Having
received
twenty Bank of England notes of 5/. each, she
placed them in a side pocket, after which twenty-five sove-
reigns were given, and she was placing them in the same
pocket, when, to her dismay, she found that the 1001. in
notes had been taken out. An alarm was given, when a lad
who was present stated that he observed two genteelly-
dressed men, who had been previously engaged in conversa-
tion and warming themselves at the tire, deliberately walk up
to the lady, raise her dress while she was counting the gold,
take the notes from her pocket, and walk off. He added
that he was so astonished at the audacity with which the
robbery was committed that he had no power at the moment
to give the alarm. Immediate search was made after the
villains, but without effect.
Viteount Morpeth entertained at dinner on Satur-
day last the Marquis and Marchioness of Lorn, the American
Minister and Mrs. Bancroft, the Hon. F. Ponsonby, the Hon.
C. Howard, Mrs. Drummond, Mrs. Sharpe, Mr. and Mrs.
Mackintosh, Mr. and Mrs. K. Shuttleworth, Mrs. Broadhead,
and Mr. Orme.
MANCHESTER, FRIDAY, JAN. 22. -- The gloom
whish hung over the market on Tuesday continues unabated.
The decline in the value of cotton at Liverpool has appa•
rently destroyed the confidence of buyers in the prices of
goods and yarn, and they are unwilling to operate, even at a
reduction of quite equal to the decline in cotton. During the
week one or two failures have been announced, but they are
not of very serious magnitude.-11.fanchester Guardian.
BA L COSTUME AT CROCILFORDS.—The conversion
of this splendid establishment into assembly rooms has
proved completely successfully. The salons on Monday and
Thursday evenings are well attended. It is the intention of
the spirited lessee to give a series of fancy balls next month,
commencing on Wednesday, the 3d of February, with a grand
bal mewl.
