LONDON, TUESDAY, MARCH 10, 1846.

The LOUD CHANcELLon took his seat on the Woolsack at
Five o'clock.

Various petitions on the subject of the corn-laws were
presented.

In answer to the Marquis of LONDONDERRY on the sub-
. jeet of the alleged persecution of the nuns of Minsk,
. The Earl of ABERDEEN said he had received an official
• communication from Russia denying the truth of the
rumours in circulation on the subject, and stating that the
depositions alleged to have been taken at Rome were gross
fabrications.
Lord DENatax then rose to draw their Lordships' attention
to the amendments which he proposed in the Irish Pacifica-
. p"oulawetot-- He objected to giving the Lord Lieutenant the

a county for the commission of one crime,

Lord BROUGHAM denied that transportatici
ment to be inflicted for a night offence. It w u was a punish-
that the person should be found to be out underas eunecessary
-circumstances, and not upon his lawful occasions, asupccious
even
if so convicted, the punishment was left to the discretion of
the Judge, besides, the being out must take place in a
:proclaimed district, which gave to every one going
out warning that he was to provide evidence that he was out
upon
iris lawful occasions. Ile thought there was no great
anomaly in this enactment, and that unless they held out
the tenor of transportation the Act would fail in effect.
The Bill was for three years, but if it did not produce tran-
quility thee, it would be their duty to have recourse to more
-stringent measures.
Earl (inn- argued against the clause pimi.-hing absence
from borne at night by transportation, as one subjecting-every
Irish peasant who might desire not to be confined to his mi-
serable cabin for 16 hours to the punishment of transportation.
It was contrary to natural justice, and it would be better to
make the possession of weapons, the being disguised, or the
being assembled in multitudes, a distinct offence.
The case held by the Noble and Learned Lord (Broug,hani)
Who had undertaken the advocacy of this clause, required a
great deal of bolstering up, and lie could not congratulate
the Noble and Learned Lord on the success of his advocacy.
. Lord BROUGHAM explained.
The Earl of at. GERMANS felt obliged to the Lord Chief
Justice for stating his objections. With regard
to the proclamation of a district he thought the
proposed measure requiring that the Lord Lieutenant
Should not have the power of proclaiming a district
*unless a crime bad been committed there, was
rather a check on the power of the Lord Lieutenant.
With regard to the change of venue, he agreed with the
Noble and Learned Lord, as also with regard to
the 20th clause, which. he would leave out if
he were certain of some general measure passing on the

subject. Then with regard to the punishment of traneporta- 1
tion for absence from home, that had been so ably argued
by the Noble and Learned Lord that he would not allude
to it further. The misdemeanour itself was one characterised
by such different degrees of guilt that he thought the pun-
ishment ought to be left, as proposed by the Bill, to the
discretion of the Judge.
The Earl of STRADBROKE thought that persons out at
night, not armed, should not be subject to a greater punish-
ment than imprisonment, and that those found out armed
should be subject to transportation.
Lord CAMPBELL complained that several of the amend-
ments introduced on Friday did not appear in the Bill
printed, as amended in Committee. He hoped that the sug-
gestions of the Noble Earl (STniminoKE) would be
adopted.
The LORD CHANCELLOR explained that it was understood
that the amendments alluded to by his Noble and Learned
Friend were intended to be proposed in the report. With
regard to the Bill of the Loan CIIIEF JUSTICE, he would give
it his hearty support. With regard to the punishment for
being out after dark, it was admitted that the punishment
ought to be discretionary, and the only question was as to the
limit of the discretion.
Earl ST. GERMANS explained.
After a few words from the Duke of RICHMOND,
The Marquis of CLANRICARDE declared that he thought
some such measure was necessary fur the protection of the
lives and properties of her Majesty's subjects in Ireland.
The Earl of WICKLOW hoped that, as the Bill was to be
postponed to Monday, the interim would be devoted to the
reconsideration of the clause inflicting the punishment of
transportation on persons found out after sunset.
After a few words from Lord Monteagle, and explana-
tions from the Lord Chancellor, the Earl of St. Germains
Lord Brougham, and Lord Denman, the House adjourned.

The SPEAKER took the Chair at Four o'clock.
Ou the motion of Mr. YOUNG, a new writ was orderA for
Windsor in the room of RALPH NEVILLE, Esq., who has ac-
cepted the office of one of the Lords of the Treasury.
Mr. T. DUNCOMBE presented a petition complaining of
the mismanagement of the Post-office.

Mr. CARDWELL in answer to a question from Dr. Bow-
RING, observed that he could not state whether any mea-
sures had been taken in order to give to the Australian
Colonies the benefit of steam navigation.
Sir R. PEEL gave notice of his intention to-morrow to
move for the production of various returns illustrative of tha
commercial policy pursued of late years.
Sir G. CLERK, in answer to a question from Sir C. NArme,
stated that he was unable to say when he should be able to
bring forward the Merchant Seamen's Bill.
Sir R. PEEL, in answer to a question from Mr. O'CONNELL,
said that everything had and would be done by
the Government to obviate the impending famine
and disease in Ireland, and he believed that in
the course the Government had adopted they would
be assisted by the proprietors of land and the moneyed gentry
of Ireland. If the resolutions that went through Committee
on Friday were adopted on the report to-night, Indian corn,
buck wheat, and rice would be admitted duty free, and he
trusted that that would considerably relieve the wants of
the people of Ireland. He trusted that the Hon. and
Learned Gentleman would not call upcn him to enter
into the details of the course that was proposed to
be adopted by the Government.
Sir R. PEEL, in answer to a question from Mr. M. Gfasox,
said that it was proposed by the Government with respect to
all articles in the tariff, immediately upon the passing of the
resolutions, to issue a Treasury order that they should be ad-
mitted immediately upon the lower rate of duty.
Mr. GREENE brought up the report on the resolutions
agreed to on Friday night, relative to the duties on corn,
grain, meal, flour, &c.
After a short discussion, in the course of which Mr. LID-
DELL stated that it was not his intention to trouble the
House any further with respect to the timber duties,
Sir R. PEEL stated that the existence of the order of the
Treasury, which he proposed to issue with respect to the
articles in the tariff on which the duty was to be reduced,
would depend upon the Bill on the subject being
adopted or rejected by the House. As to maize, buck wheat,
and rice, he proposed to issue a Treasury order immediately
to admit them at a nominal duty, but that order would be
dependent on the fate of the Bill he proposed to introduce
founded on the resolutions.

Mr. W. MILES would not divide the House upon the reso-
lution with respect to Indian corn, buck-wheat, and rice,
as the Right Hon. Baronet had stated that the order of the
Treasury would be dependent upon the fate of the Bill to be
introduced upon the subject.
Mr. CARDWELL said that there was no ground for sup-
posing that the introduction of Indian corn would interfere
with the interests of the British agriculturists.
Mr. NEWDEGATE denied that Indian corn would ever be-
come a staple article of food in this country.
Mr. S. CRAW FORD would like to see even the shilling duty
that was to be retained on Indian corn removed.

Mr. lIUME hoped to see Indian wheat made an article of
food where wheat could not be obtained.
After some discussion, the other resolutions and reports were
agreed to, and Bills founded upon them were ordered to be
brought in.
The House then went into Committee on Customs (the
tariff), in the course of which it was arranged that the unop-
posed resolutions should be taken first, and that the discus-
sions on the reeolutions that were opposed, especially those
with respect to silk and brandy, should be taken upon the
bringing up of the report on Friday.
Mr. ENVART then moved that modern foreign books should
be admitted duty free, upon which a short discussion took
place, after which the motion was withdrawn.
The other resolutions of the tariff having been gone
through,
Lord JOHN RUSSELL said that there were many
articles of manufacture on which it was proposed to put
a duty of 10 per cent ; that was all well enough as long
as the corn -law lasted, but when it terminated in 1849
he could not see the policy or the justice of continuing
that duty.
Sir It. PEEL thought the proposal he had made was
a fair one, and at the end of three years it was perfectly
open to reconsider the question as to the remission of
the duty.
Mr. T. BARING did not think that by the remission
of the duty of 10 per cent. the consumer would obtain
the article one farthing cheaper. If these duties were
to be removed, resort must be had to direct taxation
upon increase.
Mr. lIUME trusted that the Right Hon. Baronet
would look to direct taxation as the principal means of
raising the revenue.
Sir R. PEEL said that the reductions that had been made
last year with respect to the duty on glass and auctions
had saved no less than 50,0001. in salaries to officers. It
was his intention to move to-morrow for returns with re-
spect to wool, flax, and several other articles, in order to
illustrate the commercial policy of the country.
Mr. HUDSON said, if they adopted a principle it must be
carried out to its full extent, and with respect to every in-
terest.

The remaining resolutions were then agreed to, and
ordered to be reported on Friday.
The House then went into Committee of Supply, and
certain votee were taken on account of the army and navy,
agreeably to the arrangements made in the early part of
the evening
•_ _ _

The Metropolitan Buildings (Salaries to Officers) Bill was
reported.
The Metropolitan Buildings (No. 2.) Bill went through
Committee, and was ordered to be reported to-morrow.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER brought in the Corn
Importation Bill, which was read a first time, and ordered to
be read a second time on Monday next.

--The other orders of the day were then disposed of and the
House adjourned.

Every fresh mail from Germany only brings more dismal
accounts than the preceding of the mysterious, sudden, and
hopeless insurrection which has broken out in some parts of
Poland. Why the present moment should have been fixed
upon for such a hazardous undertaking, it is impossible, from
our imperfect knowledge of events in that quarter, even
to guess ; but, looking to every circumstance known to
the public, and more especially to the Mete of the European
powers, it would be difficalt to point out any one of the
numerous risings that have taken place in that oppressed
country that held out such very small hopes of success as the
present movement. With the exception of the usual seve-
rities exercised by Russia in the kingdom of Warsaw,
or what till lately bore that name, there does not
appear to have been any fresh acts of cruelty on the
part of the Emperor NICHOLAS, and it is not as-
serted, or even insinuated, that either Prussia or Austria
in whose portions of the partition territory the revolt has
been made, had departed in any respect from the system
they have long observed for subjecting the people to their
dominion. There is, in fact, no apparent reason for this
lamentable event, but on the contrary, all circumstances
lead to the conviction that there never 11 as a time
so inopportune for throwing off the yoke and defeating the
three powers that for more than half a century have been
in actual possession, and now regard Poland as much their
own as any of their most ancient hereditary dominions.
These powers have all large standing armies, ab-
solutely idle (with the exception of the war of the
Caucausus giving employment to a part of the
Russian forces), they are on the best terms with
each other, they have a common interest in the
subjugation of Poland, and would exert their whole
force against any power whatever that would attempt to
interfere, And from what European power can the Poles
expect aid? France, independent of the pacific disposition
of the KING, is crippled by her African wars ; England is
engaged in a serious war in the East, and may, in a brief
period, have another still more serious iu the West ;
remon
strances and protests can do nothing ; they were of no
avail in 1772 when the first great crime in the partition
of Poland was committed, for the Courts of London, and
Paris, and Stockholm, and Copenhagen, then remonstrated,
but CATHERINE only laughed at their remonstrances, and
went on more intent in her purpose with the other predatory
Sovereigns, to blot out for ever from the snap of Europe a
country that once had rendered the most invaluable services
to Christensiom. But even there is no time for England and
France to do anything. Posen is only some hundred and fifty
miles from Bei lin, Cracow, two hundred from Vienna, War-
saw is under the iron grasp of Russia, and what can all the
nobles of the country, even if they were unanimous, or an
unarmed peasantry, still enslaved to these very nobles,
do against such fearful odds ? According to ac-

to all who wish to leave the territory. Ent passport-
to all
for the abolition of servitude comes too late. Ser-
vitude has too long prevailed; the spirit of liberty was found
chiefly among the higher classes and the Polish army, and
that army is now broken up, parcelled among the troops of
the dominant powers, or banished to distant lands, to keep
in subjection other nations who know as little of
the blessings of freedom as the unhappy Poles. ere
is not the slightest hope that the insurrection
in the Prussian and Austrian States will last for ten
days, and Russia is taking care that the insurgents in these
states shall have no assistance from Warsaw. "Prince PASKIL-
wrrscH," a letter states, " had given orders for numerous
arrests at Warsaw and in other parts of Poland. The people

of Warsaw are in a state of apprehension difficult to de-
scribe. Every one seems to be still under the impression of
the terrible threats issued by the EMPEROR to the municipa-
lity in 1843. The troops are confined to their barracks,
and sleep in their uniforms with their arms by their sides."
We can, therefore, expect nothing from Poland but accounts
of disasters and defeats, of arrests and perpetual banishment,
and endless executions; and what renders even these still
more distressing is the fact, that this partial outbreak
will only afford the oppressors additional reasons for
binding more strongly the fetters of this gallant
people. BONAPARTE committed many great crimes, and
many political blunders ; but one of his greatest was his
cruel and ungrateful treatment of Po!and. A word of his
could have made Poland free, and established her as a bar-
rier against Russia, but for temporary advantages he
yielded to the solicitations of Austria and Prussia, and left
the country of PONIATOWSKI, who served him so well, still
the lead of slaves.

Thanks to that feeling of utter hopelessness which inva-
riably succeeds desperation, nu protectionists are at length,
to all appearance, becoming cognizant of their true position.
They have thrown their poisoned but innocuous javelins
about like madmen—their quiver is exhausted—they are
subsiding into sullenness, if not into resignation. For their
sakes, for the country's, for the Ministers, we are
rejoiced at this alteration in their behaviour.
By a pertinacious silence they may yet redeem themselves in
the estimation of the people. Indeed, so satisfied are we with
the unwonted expedition of Friday night's discussion, that we
are fain to hope that no further opposition of any real im-
portance will serve to revive tha obloquy which
has been hitherto attached to the agricultural
Members, or to retard, in any essential particular,
the progress of the Government measures. Un-
douitedly the amendment introduced by Mr. W. 0. I,;:riatnnr,
that" in lien of the duties now payable on the importation of
corn, grain, meal, sr flour, the product of foreign eouutries,
there shall be paid a fixed duty of ss. per quarter upon
wheat, 2s. 6d. upon barley, and 2s. upon oats ; meal and flour
in proportion ;" and the proposition made by Mr. M. MILNES,
that all words in the resolution respecting the impor-
tation of corn, referring to the ,cessation or alteration
of duties to be paid in the year 1849, be omit-
ted, were both of them vexatious amendments enough
in themselves. But so rapidly were they rejected, and so
speedily did the representatives enter into a more practical
consideration of the Acts propounded by Sir ROBERT, that no
time is allowed us for regret. We are filled only with a
sense of sincere gratification at the quick settlement of
the Cern and Customs question which the present Par-
liamentary spirit seems to prefigure. Maize and buck -wheat
and rice were severally disposed of on Friday evening; the
resolutions relating to grain were put, agreed to, and ordered
to Ire severtett ; and alt thee, *we simian to be a general
disposition to expedite matters, as much and as universally
as routine will permit. This is precisely as things should be :
the merits and demerits of the proposed alterations have
been debated fully and thoroughly; it only remains now
to deliver in votes with all quietude and propriety. We re-
member that, somewhere about the middle of the great twelve
Right's discussion, Mr. DISRAELI demanded the generous
leniency of Parliament to " a fallen party," in other words,
he requested the patient attention of the majority while that
fallen party uttered their " stale, flat, and unprofitable"
fribbles. That leniency, that patience has been shown in
an extraordinary degree by Parliament, as well as by the spec-
tators out of doors. The various Sexcuo Pas;zAs of protec-
tion have strutted forth before their brother representatives,
talking very largely, indeed, about their " subjects "—those
subjects being, in fact, like the subjects of SAncno, abso-
lutely—nothing. They have repeated and re-repeated
each other's observations over and over again, both to their
own and everybody else'ssatiety. They have read long extracts
(always irrelevant to the matter under examination) from
}Hansard; they have blundered over the simplest rules of
arithmetic, and drawled out lines of miserably hackneyed
verse, and yet, notwithstanding all these provo-
cations of disgust, and incitements to impatience,
the free-trade legislators and the free-trade populace have
submitted quietly to the infliction : they have listened to
everything uttered by those dismal gentlemen with the
most heroic self-command. For this concession the
protectionists should feel some sentiments (however
small) of gratitude : they should, in all honest
seriousness, perceive the temporary self-sacrifice made
by the country and the Legislature in sheer compassion
for their own short-sightedness. Thanks, however, to the
fact that nothing sublunary can last for ever, the agricul-
tural cry has been gradually dying away into a fitful and
smothered whisper. Though SHAILSPERE has kindly
informed us that " the cat will mew, the dog
will have his day," we invariably derive a solace
from that announcement, in its very esteasible sequitur,
that sooner or later, that " mew " and "day" must both termi-
nate. Precisely does this comforting consideration tally
with the outburst of Mr. Muss and his followers:—
the squirrel has revolved round and round in its
monotonous and harmless course—the noffensive creature
is exhausted by its own exertions—the barrel-cage stops,
and the little animal is at rest. This is exactly the career of
the' protectionist agitation epitomized. It may start forth
again for a moment, to amuse the spectators by its super-
fluous evolutioas; but, for all practical purposes, monopoly is
concluded henceforth. Let his Grace of RICHMOND raise a
monument to its memory ; let the Member for Bristol deliver
Its funeral oration; the epitaph might be judiciously resigned
to the hand and the imagination of Mr. BENJAMIN DIfiIIAELL

We understand that a public meeting is to be held
this evening, at Investigation Hall, Circus•street, New-
road, to receive the Report of the Deputation of the
Ratepayers of Marylebone to the Vestry of that parish,
on behalf of the unemployed and destitute poor, and to con-
sider the necessity of establishing a Poor Man's Guardian So-
ciety. Our readers are aware that for some time past
differences have existed between the Marylebone Vestry and
the Poor-law Commissioners on the subject of the erection
of district asylums for the houseless poor. The deputation
alluded to, while agreeing with the Vestry in their resistance
to the orders of the Poor-law Commissioners, consider that
the erection of some asylum for the houseless poor is neces-
sary, and have presented a memorial to the Vestry to that
effect, the answer to which will be read at the meeting.
The object of the establishment of a Poor Man's Guardian
Society is to secure to the poor man those rights which are
already guaranteed to him by law, so as to insure the hu-
mane dispensation of parochial relief, and to protect the
unemployed poor against the exercise of harsh and
oppressive conduct. The recent " bone-crushing" re-
velations afford ample proof that some such so-
ciety is wanted for the protection of the poor.
We doubt not but that the meeting will be well attended, but
we would particularly impress upon the poor themselves the
necessity of being present. They can render most useful
assistance in the formation of the Guardian Society; and,
moreover, they will be enabled to obtain distinct and accu-
rate information as to the rights which the law gives them,
a matter on which at present we fear too many of them are
wofully ignorant.

We have received Madrid journals of the Ist inst. In the
Chamber of Deputies, on the preceding day, Senor Moir,
the late Finance Minister, spoke against several measures
introduced by the new Ministry, and more especially against
the Bill relative to public worship and the clergy, which he
considered caculated to prevent a settlement of the differ-
ences with Rome. There is evidently now a strong
Opposition party in the Chamber, encouraged by NARVAEZ
and the QUEEN-MOTHER. Nearly all private accounts agree
in stating that the Ministry cannot last, and that these two
arch-intriguers will never rest till they have a Ministry
entirely obedient to their will.

On the 28th ult. the Three per Cents. closed at 30 for cash,
and 30;4 at GO days; and the Fire per Cents. at 21 at GO
days.

The Paris papers are much occupied with the affairs of
Poland, and several of them have articles also on the Oregon
question. On the latter subject they in general do justice to
the pacific views of England, which, indeed, cannot pos-
sibly be doubted. The Courrier Francais, not over friendly
to this country, states the case very fairly, if we except the
last paragraph. "Will England and the American Union de-
cide on running the disastrous chances of a war, in order to en-
sure the possession of the territory in dispute? Such is the
question now placed before the tribunal of public opinion at
both sides of the Atlantic. We are happy to say that this
tribunal is essentially pacific and conciliatory. In the United
States, all the moderate men, and let us add, all honest ones,
wish for peace. It appears to them exorbitant to refuse to
England all right to the possession of a part of the Oregon,
when this right has been formerly recognised by the
Government of the Union. They cannot comprehend how
that which was yesterday admitted as an unanswerable
claim, should be rejected to-day as a vain pretension; and
they do not hesitate to blame that rapacious and boundless
ambition which induces the American Government to refuse
all arrangement, and to demand the whole of the Oregon.
In England public opinion is decidedly in favour of peace,
first, because the Oregon would be too dearly purchased by
a war, and, next, and it is the principal motive, because the
reforms proposed in the tariff would be inevitably retarded,
and England be obliged to keep up her odious corn-laws, in
case of a war. How in fact could financial reforms be effected
in a time of war? Yet, however ardent may be on both
sides the desire to maintain peace, means must be found to
operate an amicable arrangement without hurting the pride
of the two nations. This means, it was supposed, would be
found in an arbitration. But now that this means is refused'
by one of the two parties, what issue remains to the parti-'
sans of peace in the two countries? For our part we see but
one. We believe that England and the American Union
will not succeed in coming to an agreement, except in de-
ciding to have recourse to the rules of public right, which
they have both neglected in this affair. We believe that
they will never be able to settle their dispute pacifically but
by recognising the insufficiency of their titles to the property
of the territory in question, and in consequently leaving to
the inhabitants of this territory their independence and the
free disposal of themselves."

Nearly all the papers express the greatest sympathy for the
unfortunate Poles, but what can sympathy do, when there
is no means of relief; and the Poles, without looking to the
consequences, have placed themselves entirely at the mercy
of their oppressors ? We have no details that can be de-
pended upon later than those published in The San of Satur-
day, but a few extracts from the paper.s, which will be read
with melancholy intereet. The following melancholy

ture, which is but too true, appears in the Constitutionnei.
After advertin,s, to the different fruitlesi attempts made by
Poland to recover her independence, it adds :

" Europe presents a sad spectacle. From the extremity of Italy to
Warsaw oppressed nations are in movement through despair; and
the old Governments employ no other means of imposing obedience
than musket-shots, imprisonment, and the executioner. The king-
dom of Naples and the Roman States have lately witnessed san-
guinary executions. Lucerne is a vast prison, after having been
a field of battle. Russia, Austria, and Prussia advance their
soldiers to inveiope the Polish insurrection, and to sprinkle
with a generous blood the divided provinces. Such are the
results of the pretended Conservative policy which prevaili in
Europe. The Governments, a moment frightened by the
popular movements produced by the revolution of leae, soon re-
covered their peace of mind when the revolt was put down. They
forgot that intestine wars are never terminated by fore, and that in
this sense there never are decisive victories. Arrangements alone
reconcile nations that have risen, even with a triumphant power.
To govern is to enter into arrangements. But the European Govern-
ments, wAlt the exception perhaps of Prussia, appear more opposed
than ever to all arrangement. Everywhere despotism has be-
come more oppressive and more intolerant. Rome, far from
keeping her promises, still recent, demands the extradition of
those unfortunate men that aimed at obtaining a moderate liberty ;
the Jesuits divide Switzerland; Austria sends to the Pontifical Go-
vernment counsels of despotism, and to the ultra-montane party
of Switzerland counsels of reaction ; the Emperor of Russia has
waged war, not only on the remnants of the Polish nation, but on
family affections, remembrances, creeds, and consciences. Tim
French Government, which represented on the Continent liberal
and moderate ideas, and which ought to defend them, has com-
pletely abandoned its mission. It has become conservative, ultra-
montane, reactive, as it is possible to be in France. It makes com-
mon cause with the European conservatives, who refuse all arrange-
ments, and struggle against all progress, Is it surprising that under
the influence of this policy, often oppressive, always unintelligent,
several states of Germany are in movement for religious or political
foetus ; that the Italians and the Poles encounter death to escape from
an insupportable tyranny ; and that Switzerland Is perpetually tom
by civil war? In Poland much blood is about to be shed. Do the
old Governments, which are about to spill it, believe that they will
there drown liberty, and that they will be dispensed with entering
some day into arrangments with her?"

" 1t hatever :nay be the result of this insurrection (says the Na-
tional), all Europe will deem it holy, heroic, sublime. Martyrs
may be made, but there will be no criminals. All those who, do
honour to a ievoted love of country—all those who bear hatred to
savage despotism►—will grant their warmest sympathies to those
noble strufglee of a people whom overpowering numbers may crush,
whom violence may decimate, but who will over confine to protest
againt the wrongs done to them ; who, though beaten down and
bleeding, will still look in proud disdain upon those protended free
Governments who cowardly look on and see a noble nation mas-
sacred." _

The Courier Francais calls upon England and France to
interfere:— .

"Already attempts are made to disseminate calumny in order to
divert the interest which the freemen of Europe must take in the
people who hove been so cruelly persecuted, oppressed, and dismem-
bered, but whose vitality has resisted all the gets of tyranny exer-
cised upon it. Endeavours have been made by perfidious translations
to pervent into Communism a proclamation, which the formal de
Frankfort, that Russian organ, renders more justly : ' The Bucklers
have not been raised, either in thenamo of a Wigton or in the name of
any political opinion, but in the name of the freedom of Poland.' Can it
be believed that if Communism was in view, the insurneuts would call

look upon this movement with so little disquietude ? Can it be be-

they had no need of you. Whether the y triumph or fall. you will
not have been the less guilty—you will not the less ha 'e been
traitors to your declarations—to your oaths. Twenty millions of
men await their deliverance. Prance and England, who are inter-
ested in this formation of a constitutional nation, have only- to move
a step, and Poland would live. Will France and England wait until
Poland shall be crushed between the two tyrannies that press it
down—A ustria and Russia?"

The following ale miscellaneous extracts from the
papers:—
" The Tot tonnal4 states •that one of the Princes of Saxe-Coburg
will accompany the Duke d'Aumale to Algeria. The report that the
Duke de Montpensier was to accompany his brother is, says the
ToulonnaLs, unfounded. The Albatross is to convey the two Princes
to Algiers. _ . .

" The Courrikr Francais has opened a subscription for the insur-
gents of Cracow, and placed Itself at the head for 200 f.
It has been announced that the Bishop of Guesen, M. Dombrowski,
has been arrested. The name of this prelate is Brodziszewski, and
he has not bGen arrested ; but we learn that a young Polish noble-
man, Count Dombrewski, son of the illustrious general of that name,
who commanded the Polish legions in Italy, has been arrested and
placed an secret. The arrests already made in Gallicia and in the
Duchy of Posen amount, it is said, to more than one thousand, all
belonging to the nobility and clergy.
" The Unieers states that it has received intelligence from a cor-
respondent that two regiments of the Austrian army, but camposed
entirely of Poles, stationed in Gallicia, have joined the insurgents.
Of all the chiefs of the revolution of 1830, the only one named as
having taken a lead in this new movement is General JosephSzembek.
" The Cologne Gazelle, of the sth, states that on the 27th ult. the
rebels of Cracow were masters of the surrounding country to the dis-
tance of fifteen German miles, but it appears by a letter from Vienna
of the 28th, that the Austrian force concentrated at Wadowize was
daily receiving reinforcements, and would be in a state to resume the
offensive by the Bth.
" The news from Poland and that brought by the last arrival from
the United States had a depressing effect on the Stock market on
Saturday, and both Three per Cents. and Five per Cents have fallen

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

TATTERSALL'S.-YESTERDAY.

The Chester Cup betting derived its importance from the
advent of Clumsy, one of the Goodwood lot, and the strong
feeling displayed in favour of Hope and Miss Burns. Of the
three Clumsy, who rose from 50 to 1 to 1,000 to 30, and was
in immense force, was decidedly the greatest " pot ;" the
Baron was also in some demand, but the movements gene-
rally, apart from those alluded to, were unimportant; the
favourites were scarcely mentioned.
TIIE DERllT.—Brocardo was backed for about 3001., at 17
to 1; Tibthorpe for 100/., at 25 to 1 ; Humdrum at 40 to 1,
in hundreds; Malcolm for 50/, at the same odds; Poynton,
in two or three, at 1,000 to 20; and two or three other out-
siders at liberal odds. We did not hear a bet laid about
Sting or lago.
