THE STIV, LON'D'ON, WEDNESDAY EV'ENIN'G, ATTGUrr

first, upon the ground of necessity to enforce those treaties to
which this was a party; secondly, upon the great question of
political interest and the great European question of the ba-
lance of power with which it was involved ; and, thirdly, upon
the broad ground of humanity, because the events to which
he referred had taken place in flagrant violation of common
law, and the rights of humanity, and of civilisation, such as he
trusted would never be again repeated, and which, he
believed, if their Lordships took up the question,
as they were bound to do, never would occur again.
Their Lordships were aware that a special treaty had been
entered into with Vienna by Russia and Austria, and he main-
tained that the treaty had been violated in its letter and its
spirit. He referred to events which occurred so early as the
month of January, when reports were circulated of an out-
break being apprehended in Vienna. When there was an ap-
prehension of an outbreak, the conduct of Austria differed ma-
terially from that of Prussia. Prussia, when made aware of
the circumstances, took steps to arrest and prevent the antici-
pated outbreak, and those who were likely to take part in it
were arrested. In Austria no such precautions were taken to
arrest suspected persons, or put a check to the outbreak by
placing troops in a position to crush it at the moment of its
rising. Towards the 17th of February the murmurs of an
outbreak increased. Cracow, it should be recolletecd, was a per-
fectly independent power—as independent as France or any
other country. The Government might have been alarmed,
and expressed that alarm to Austria, but at this time no
dangerous proceedings took place ; but on the 18th,
to the astonishment of every person in Cracow, an Austrian
army, under the command of General Collin, marched into
the town. A sudden pause was thus put to trade, commerce,
and amusements, and the people stood aghast with astonish-
ment. On the 19th no extraordinary event took place fur.
ther, but the general consternation of the inhabitants. Severe
orders were no doubt issued by the authorities, preventing the
people from being out of their houses after certain hours. On
the 20th, for the first time, something like a disturbance took
place on the people returning from the theatre, and persons
in different parts of the town were arrested. On the 21st some-
thing more serious took place. A restaurant, headed by seve-
ral persons, barricaded his doors, and fired from the windows
on the troops, who were immediately assembled. One or two
persons were found with arms in their hands, and were taken
in arrest. All of these disturbances, trifling as they were, being
concocted by same twenty or thirty persons, were thus entirely
suppressed and put down, and that with the greatest facility.
On the 22d, which was Sunday, the churches were ordered
to be closed, and no service was allowed, and the shops were
all closed. The troops were marchrd through the town at
different periods of the day, and one or two accidents
took place. An unfortunate man, who was cleaning a lamp,
was shot for heir g out against orders. With the exception of
that trifling circumstance, nothing worthy of remark took
place. The people were perfectly quiet, and the greatest
astonishment and alarm prevailed over all Cracow. Shortly
afterwards General Collin evacuated Cracow with the whole
of his force, with all the police, the three residents, the whole
of the Government, the bishops, and every single employe
in the p!ace, down to the lowest faquires that swept the public
offices. Cracow was then left without a single authority of
any kind ; without any force to protect it ; not even a sentinel
at the prisons; without a single person respnnible, in a terri-
tory con'aining a population of 130,000. For some hours it
remained so, when one or two of the most respectable persons
attempted to form a sort of provisional Government, which
took means to keep things in a state of calm and quiet, until
they perceived what had taken place nn the exterior of Cracow.
This was on the 22d, and on the 2id, the short lived provi-
sional Government was put down. A new system was then
put up by five or six individuals, who were the suspected
persons, and who had been allowed to enter from Galici, and
had passed the General on the way. They formed a revo-
lutionary Government, they issued all sorts of proclamations of
equality and the division of land, and excited the lower classes
of people to rise against their masters. In the territory of Cra-
cow no persons rose against their masters, and not a single attack
was made, notwithstandingithe misconduct of the Government.
All the people behaved perfectly well, and though many left
their doors open, not a single robbery took place. The
Noble Lord then proceeded to relate the recent outbreak which
occurred at Cracow, and which has already appeared in The
Sun at length. On the second of the month, a Circassian
regiment of the Russian army entered the city, and were re-
ceived with open arms by the citizens, who considered that
they were a safety guard from the power of the Austrian
Government. But after a short time the Russians and the
Prussians withdrew, the arms of the residents were taken
down, and Cracow has ever since remained garrisoned the
Austrians, and held by that power as an Austrian town. Now,
that was what he termed a violation of the treaty of Vienna.
The Noble Lord then read several translations from Polish
documents encouraging the peasantry to rise in arms. The
consequence of these placards was, that the peasantry did arise,
and marauders ravaged the country ; and a person of the name
of Silas, with a band of about 100 men, murdered hundreds
after hundreds, took castle after castle, and pillaged them.
Amongst the slaughtered were the names of the highest fami-
lies, against whom not even a suspicion of guilt had been at-
tached. He acquitted the Austrian Government of any know-
ledge of these circumstances, but he did contrast their conduct
with that of Prussia, where an outbreak was expected, yet
where, in consequence of the good measures which had been
taken, no bloodshed occurred. He had seen letters from the
survivors of these massacres; he had seen a letter from the
daughter of one of these noble families, who was
the sole relict of her murdered family. He had
seen, also, a letter from others, who were also survivors,
which would harrow up the feelings of their Lordships.
Hatred was fomented between the peasantry and
the nobles, and thus it was that the appeal to the peasantry
was so fully answered. The nobles were compelled to carry
into effect the most ungracious laws, and he made that a charge
against the Austrian Government. With regard to the Poles,
who ware called the Emigration, he believed that they were
nearly all totally ignorant of these transactions, although there
might be some of them who were cognisant of them. He was
of opinion, however, that there ought to be a distinction made
between them. He would not trouble their Lordships any fur.
ther, but would conclude by asking for the production of any
correspondence between her Majesty's Government and the
other three Governments with respect to the circumstances to
which he bad referred ; and he trusted that the Noble Vis-
count now at the head of foreign affairs would exert himself to
the utmost to prevent a recurrence of these shocking trans-
actions.

The Marquis of LANSDOWNE complimented the Noble
Lord for the manner in which he referred to the circumstances
which had taken place in Dalmatia and Cracow, and he con-
curred with him that a right, and more than a right—a duty--
devolved upon the Government, who were parties to the inde-
pendent existence of Cracow, to see that its independence
should, under all circumstances, be preserved. No person
could lament more deeply than he did that anything should
have occurred to afford a justification for the imputation of in-
terference with that independence. He was bound to say that all
these calamities had their origin with a number of refugees who
had taken up their residence in Cracow, and who, in the con-
spiracy in which they were engaged, had more exten-
sive objects in view than the affairs of Cracow.
In fact, the conspiracy was such as to cause
the greatest alarm in the neighbouring states. These states,
finding that overtures were made to extend the conspiracy all
over the country, and as the authorities of Cracow had made
application to them, interfered and occupied Cracow. As to
the retirement of the Austrian soldiers from Cracow, he could
not offer any explanation. The three powers had, however, in
March last, occupied Cracow, and continued in possession of it
ever since. It did not matter, in his opinion, which of the
three powers occupied Cracow, provided it was done by their
joint consent.—("Hear, hear," from the Duke of Welling on.)
Conferences had taken place between the three powers, and
he trusted the period would soon arrive when Cracow would be
restored to that independence which she was entitled to enjoy
under the treaty of Vienna. There could be no objection to
give the NOble Lord the correspondence which he wished. He
would have stopped there, had not the Noble Lord referred to
what had taken place in Galicia. He had to say, in reference
to that country, that whatever might be his opinion of the
scenes enacted there, they were not such as to justify any inter-
ference on the part of this Government with the Government
which ruled that province. He was bound to say that the
transaction which took place. there arose from the mismanage-
ment of the local authorities, and were not entirely chargeable
to the Government of Vienna. He therefore trusted that the
Government of Austria would take such steps as would prevent
the recurrence of these horrid transactions. He had no reason
to complain of the terms in which the Noble Lord treated the
subject; and ho had no objection to comply with his motion for
the production of the correspondence between her Majesty's
Government and the three courts of Vienna, Petersburgh, and
Berlin.

The Duke of WELLINGTON, being a Member of her
Majesty's Government when these occurrences took place, was
hound to say that there was a violation of the treaty, which
must be explained by these powers. With respect to th? re-
public of Cracow, the treaty of Vienna was very peremptory—.
that that city shonld not be occupied with the troops of any of
the three powers. When that treaty, however, was drawn up,
the existing state of things was never contemplated ; that there
should be committees sitting in the principal cities of Europe,
plotting an insurrection against the actual existing Government,
even in the very city of Cracow. The authorities of Cracow, and
the agents of the three protecting powers, acquired information
that a conspiracy existed, not only in the republic of Cracow,
but in the neighbouring countries of Posen, and Galicia, and
even in the Duchy of Warsaw. He did not attempt to say, or
know, what measures of precaution the Government did take,
and he was sure that very few in the country could judge what
measures it was in their power to take, or what measures they
ought to hare taken. But this he did say, that the measure
adopted, was one which was contrary to the treaty, and could
only be justified by the exigencies of the time, namely, the state
of intrigue going on in Cracow, the daily expectation of a rising
there, and the state of disturbance in which al the neighbouring
provinces of Galicia and the Du..hies of Posen and Warsaw
were. That was the cause of moving troops into Cracow,
which troops the Noble Lord said himself it was found neces-
sary to withdraw the day after they arrived there. Whether
it was necessary on account of the apprehension of a
revolution existing in Cracow, or on account of the insurrection
behind them in Galicia, he did not pretend to judge; but it
was necessary to withdraw them, and that withdrawal occa-
sioned the subsequent events in Cracow. The Austrian Go-
vernment was not to be blamed for that. They were not to be
blamed for sending an army--he believed that there were not
more than 5.010, a b•igade, under General Collin, but. not what
is usually called an arusy—into Cracow. Then the Noble Lord
thought proper to blame the Austrian Government for not
taking precautions, and for not carrying on their operations in
a particular manner in Galicia. He believed that he must say
he did not think it material, and he did not know whether °se
Government had enabled them to judge what those operations
ought to have been, or what the fault of the Austrian Govern-
ment had been on this subject. Neither the subject on which
the Noble Lord blamed the Austrian Governmenr, nor
that on which he had extolled the Prussian Government
( which he did not at all doubt deserved praise), had
anything to do with these transactions. They had nothing to
do with the merits of the arrangement made by Parliament,
but were the defects of the Austrian Government. What
they had to do was simply with the breach of the treaty ,
which, if any breach of any treaty could be justified, it was
this very one, but it made them fully accountable for all that
happened subsequently in Cracow. The whole country was
—that was to sav, the duchies of Warsaw, Posen, and the
province of Galicia—the theatre of war, and it might have
been convenient for military operations to have a large body
or a small body of troops in Cracow. At one time, as the
Noble Lord stated himself, there were only a small body of
tßnti,,s,psi,anof
troops ; these were joined immediately by a body of
Austrians, and again by a body of Prussians. The
Prussia, the troops of Russia, and of Austria
were in operation in the three provinces surrounding
Cracow, while these three bodies of troops of the same
i et

s in the town of Cracow. Some of them were

was a military
occupation for a moment, the occupation hap-
pened to be convenient to the operations of the three armies
at the time, they
having no politicalobjeet in view in any

of the town of Cracow, and for placing it in a stateov eorf nment
inde-
pendence, and of course the old articles of the treaty Would be
revived, "that no troops would on any account be placed in
that town." He understood that that had been the result of
the communication and arrangements, He was certain that

with regard to this question it would be better for that House
to adhere strictly to those points in which this country had a
right to interfere, and not a step farther with thJ internal
government of other parts of the country under the adminis•
ration of different GovernmenLs.

Lord KINNAIRD thought that the evacuation and oc-
upation of Cracow had never been properly explained. He
.elieved it to have been done with a view of bringing any
ompiracy to a head. The cruelties which had teen com-
nitted were known in many instances to have received the
sanction of the Government of Vienna, or at least of their sub-
mdinate officers, and he thought that a remonstrance on the part
of this country would have much weight in preventing
similar occurrences he future.

The motion was then agreed to with the amendment.
Several Bills were then forwarded a stage, and their Lord-
ships adjourned until Thursday next.

HOUSE OF COMMONS, August 11.
DEODANDS ABOLITION BILL.
(Continued from our Afternoon Edition of yesterday.)

Mr. WAKLEY said that he had hoped that some other
legal gentleman would have been present to expound the law.
His two friends who had just spoken were educated under cir-
cumstances entirely similar, and whose opinions entirely dif-
fered. If either of these gentlemen were elevated to the
bench, the law of coroner would entirely depend on
the opinion of which of them happened to be judge.
That was a most unsatisfactory state of things. The
law of deodand, he admitted, was in a most unsatisfactory
state. He would take the case of a livery-stable keeper who
lent to his drunken servant an unmanageable horse. The
horse might cause the death of some person, and yet the livery-
stable keeper, who was as much, if not more, to blame than
his servant, entirely escaped all the consequences—the
law could not touch him. If the horse belonged
to a gentleman, and were ridden by his servant, the gentle-
man, in that case, would be liable. If, in the case of a rail-
way company, the wheel of a carriage came off, and caused
death to some one, the company might prove that the wheels
had been examined before the starting of the train, and yet the
jury had the power to inflict a deedand. He admitted that the
law required alteration, but yet he hoped the Hon. and Learned
➢lember would not divide the House on his motion, for the
matter had already received the full consideration of both
Houses of Parliament.

After a few words from the LORD-ADVOCATE, which
did not reach the gallery,
Mr. HENLEY said that the question was whether the
amendment proposed was one likely to be beneficial. The Hon.
and Learned Members who had been discussing the Bill differed
in opinion, and a similar difference of opinion was observable in
the Noble and Learned Lords who had discussed the question
in the other House. He thought that the Bill should certainly
receive a more full and careful investigation before it passed
that House.

Mr. CRIPPS said he would support the Bill before the
House, as he considered it likely to be efficient in its nature.
The gallery was then cleared for a division, when there
appeared—

Mr. Errington was then cross-examined by Mr. Sergeant Mtritrnir.
:11r. Graham was then examined.

Numerous applications were made to the Committee by Mr.
Sergeant :MURPHY, on behalf of his client (Mr. Graham), all of which
were overruled by their Lordships, who declared the preamble and
the various other clauses of the Bill to be proved.
CALEDONIAN—CLYDESDALE JUNCTION
!Mr. Sergeant WRANGIIAM then opened the case for the promoters of
this Bill. It appeared that the Clydesdale Junction Railway, as laid
out in the last session of Parliament, affected the property of a Mr.
Graham Ix an objectionable manner. That gentleman opposed the
progress of the Bill. Subsequently an agreement was entered into.
by which a deviation line was to be made to the south of the origi-
nally proposed line, and the company were to pay to Air. Graham,
the sum of 2,000 T., in order to defray the expenses which that gen-
tleman had incurred in his opposition to the Rill. The Clydesdale
Railway had now passed into the hands of the Caledonian Railway
Company, and this agreement with Mr. Graham had been ratified by
that Company, and had been faithfully adhered to.

Mr. Sergeant 311:Emir, who appeared for Mr. Graham, said that
if the agreement were produced bearing the corporate seal of the
Caledonian Railway, his client would be satisfied.
Mr. Errington was then called, and deposed to the course of the
deviation line as being in accordance with the terms of the agree-
ment entered into between the parties.

The CHAIRMAN then declared the preamble of the Bill proved, sub-
ject, however, to the condition, that before the Bill should receive its
third reading, the agreement bearing the corp.,rate seal of the Cale-
donian Railway should be placed in the hands of Mr. Graham.
GLASGOW AND BELFAST UNION.
RAILWAY

Mr. TALBOT opened the case for the promoters of this Bill in a
speech of considerable length.
We applied for a copy of the map, or the Bill, showing the course
of the proposed line, hut we were most uncourteously met by a
refusal on the part of the solicitor to the Bill. Had our request
been attended to we should then have been enabled with accuracy
to have pointed out the route of the proposed line, and the various
towns and villages affected by it, being anxious that anything' put
forward by us should not be of a nature calculated to mislead the
public. We arc most reluctantly compelled to omit a lengthened
report of the Learned Counsel's able speacli on the occasion.
Mr. T. Miller was examined by Mr. TALBOT, Q.C., as to the
general merits of the line.

- Mr. J. Brown, cross-examined by Mr. Hops, gave evidence of a
similar nature.

The Coinm:ttee then ndlourned till eleven to-morrow.

OLDHAM, MANCHESTER, LIVERPOOL,

(Continued from our Afternoon Edition of yesterday.)

Mr. H. Eton, engineer of the Rochdale Canal Company, gave
similar' evidence. This closed the case of the Rochdale Canal
Company.
Mr. limnrAnn, Q.C., proceeded to call witnesses on behalf of the
Mahchester and Leeds Railway Company.
Mr. Hawkshaw, C.E., engineer to this Company, was then called,
who stated that he had gone over the estimates of Mr. Lowe. the
engineer to the line, and had taken his quantities of earth-work,
viaducts, embankments, and other works, and he believed that those
works could not be executed, including the necessary land, under
668,1351., being at the rate of 90,e001. per mile. He thought the area
of the chief station should be at least 15,000 square yards.
At the conclusion of the examination of this witness their Lord-
ships adjourned till eleven o'clock to-morrow.

Hampshire WHITING FISIIING.—/From a
Correspon-
dent.)—The different whiting grounds lying off the Needles,
in the Isle of Wight, and also the various banks interruptim:
the Solent, teem at present with large shoals of the above
sportive and delicate little fish, and :f capture of half-a-dozen
score of whiting, effected by two hands using double-hooked
lines, from one boat, in the course of a flood tide (seven
hours) is not looked upon as being an extraordinary catch.
The oyster beds in the tv.ighbourbood of Lymington and
Newtown, in the Isle of Wight, are, according to the report
of trawlers, likely to prove highly
productive this year, s,,
that the numerous fishermen along the coast will in all
probability enjoy a constant source of profitable employment
until the approachinc, autumn, when their attention will be
directed to the herring fishing, multitudinous shoals of which
fish annually revisit our waters at the above season of the
year.
