The Augsburg Gazette publishes the following letter' ad-
dressed by Prince Metternich to the different Courts of Ger-
many. It is dated the 7th inst.:—

" The news of the occupation of Cracow by our troops and
those of Russia, and the happy termination of the in-urrec •
tion in every. part of the republic, have been announced by
the Vienna journals. If we cast a glance at the events
which in the space of a few days produced convulsions and
a calamity beyond description, we know not whether we
ought to be most astonished at the degradetionof those who
conceived this audacious madness, or at the conduct of these
who, miscalculating the means at their di-posal, attempted
to execute it, and who have become victims of au enterprise
which could not succeed. Without doubt the plot had been
cleverly concerted. A vast conspiracy, spreading over the
Austrian and Prussian portions of Polami., was conceived, and
the flee territory of Cracow served as a kind of deeat fur the
use of the conspirators. Numerous emissaries, sent out Ly
,he leaders, covered the country, and their seductions alai
insinuations found favour with the country gentlemen
and their dependent!, who were in greater number in
the provinces of ancient Poland than elsewhere. In the
territory of Cracow, defective administrative institutions,
and a social condition disorganized in every respect fa-
voured those efforts. Communist doctrines were cc-
tively ditleminated in- all directions amongst the people,
and the heads of the movement, who eel teiely
cared very little about such doctrines, as far as they
were personally concerned, indulged in the senseless twee
that the agreeable prospect of freeing the peasants from the
payment of taxes would decide the nwses to serve as their
instruments in carrying out their plans; and yet they also
fancied thatwhen the Governments had been overturned, and
that the Utopia of the Polish kingdom bad been established,
they should be able to drive back the irritated waves into
such a channel as might appear most favourable to their
designs. But it was particularly in Gallicia that it might be
clearly seen, that such projects were void of common se use
and inexecutable. That country has been for 83 years unter
the sovereigetyof Austria, and when it came into the hands
of Austria was in a miserab'e state of political organization.
Our Austrian laws, and particularly our good institutions,
have been introduced into Gallicia. The effect of those in-
stitutions has been appreciated by the people of the country
and by the mass of the population, who have now compre-
hended that it is the throne which protects them, as well as
all their existence. This is precisely what the Polish emi
grants who caused the movement have misunderstood and
forgotten. They expected to find the people of the same
feeling as themselves, but they were completely mistaken.
The peasantry of Gallicia do not understand communist
phrases, and the Polish system is odious to them, because
they well remember the misery which has resulted from
it. The great majority of the preachers of liberty are
with them the oppressors of their peasantry. When the
nobles provoked the peasants to revolt, and the insurgents,
assembled in great numbers in certain places, wished to
compel the peasants by bad treatment to take part in the
revolt, the movement which they wished to foment turned
against the instigators themselves. Many of the latter fell
victims to the rage of the people, and the others were de-
livered up to the authorities. Al! is now quiet and orderly
in Gallicia, and the movement no longer merits the name of
revolution, but of counter-revolution, the flame of revolt
being extinguished in Cracow, and the revolutionists of
Gallicia, whose projects have been rendered abortive, are in-
capable of any longer disturbing the peace of the country.
After such shocks time must be required to restore moral
calmness to men's minds. The Government is turning its
attention to this task, and will proceed in it with the greater
success as it is encouraged by the broad basis on which the
Government of Gallicia is founded to believe in the faithful
attachment to the generality of the population. Be pleased
to communicate this di-patch to the Cabinet to whom you
are accredited."

LORD MA/ OR'S COURT.
(THIS DAY.)
(Before the Hon. C. E. LAW, Recorder.)
DENTON, PLAINTIFF, THE GLOUCESTER, ARERYSTWITH, AND
CENTRAL WALES RAILWAY COMPANY, DEFENDANTS, AND
MESSRS. GLYNN, HALIFAX, AND CO GARNISHEES.
Mr. Locke appeared on behalf of, the Gloucester, Aberys-
'twith, and Central Wales Railway Company, to move that an
attachment issued from this Court of moneys in the hands of
the garnishees alleged to belong to the above company should
be dissolved. Mr. Ryland appeared to watch the case for
the plaintiff:
Mr. LOCKE contended that the attachment could not be
maintained, as, in fact, no such company was legally in ex-
istence, it not having been incorporated, but only proviion-
ally registered; and therefore the parties connected with it
could not be sued as a company.
Mr. RYLAND said it did not matter if they chose to assume
a title; but, at all events, this was not the time or mode to
try the question, as the matter of the attachment could not be
brought before the Court till the case came on for hearing.
The RECORDER said the attachment was with Meters.
Glynn and Co., the garnishees, and he therefore wished to
try the question on affidavits by another party whether that
attachment was right or not.
Mr. LOCKE-Our answer to it is, that the garnishees have
no such goods, for there are no such persons or no such
Company.
The RECORDER—I do not see how I can decide that point.
You want to dissolve the attachment, but you do not put
your answer in the shape of a plea; the garnishees may
plead that they have no money belonging to such persons.
and if they succeed in proving that on your present or future
argument, then, of course, there will be an end of the attach-
ment.
Mr. LOCKE-But the great difficulty is,that the garnishees
arc not likely to.plead.
The RECORDER-If you make out that there is no such
company in existence, how will you make out that any
money paid into the bankers belongs tb you at all? You
wish to be a vivacious body for one purpose, and a disem-
bodied spirit for another—that you have a legal compete-:cy
to become a plaintiff; but not to be sued. You would appear
as a brave body against the bankers, but on the appearance
of a plaintiff would vanish. (Laughter.) The Learned
Judge said that these unincorporated persons had a quick
sense of their rights and a very dim view of their obllga-
tions. Ile did not consider he could take off the attach-
ment on the ground stAmitted ; it must be argued on the
merits. If the garniskuts did not plead, the defendant was
not condemned if he could make out his plea.
The motion was refused.
ISAACS V. GREEN.

This was an action to recover the sum of 51. for money lent.
It appeared by the.evidence that the defendant had been
treasurer to a club called the Friendly Union, held in Hounds-
ditch, which, in the early part of last year was about to be
dissolved. Defendant was found to be deficient 1201, but,
person named Brandon, on Isaacs and
hie
on a day appointed, paid 90/., and the difference was
advanced and two other persons, undertaking to
brother, b
and
leave their five pounds each due from the duo as
security to Brandon. The Isaacses shortly after commenced
an action against the defendant, but afterwards, in March
last, agreed to suspend all proceedings for twelve months, if
the costs in the two actions were paid, and Brandon paid the
cost, 61. 1 ls. Bd.
An agreement was put in to prove that fact, and Mr.
Ryland and Mr. Laurie, who appeared for the plaintiff; said
they had been very much deceived in their instructions, and
must at once consellt to a nonsuit, and begin again when the
time bad fully transpired. •

THE QUEEN'S DRAWING POOMS.—A rumour has
been current in high society that the Quern intends to request her
Majesty, the Queen-Dowager, to hold drawing-rooms during her re-
tirement. We do not kno,v tow far this rumour is founded, but her
Majesty could not have a substitute more respected and beloved.
Great losses would be saved to the trade of the metropolis, er Mist the
attendance at the recent drawing-room shows that they have
taken place too early to be of avail.
