LONDON, WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 2, 1846.

Poland was—Poland is no more. In the destruc-
tion of that kingdom the descendants of an heroic race
have been dispersed over the world as aliens and out-
casts. Warsaw has been desolated by a political
visitation as complete, if not as deplorable, as the reli-
gious visitation which desolated Jerusalem. By
insidious encroachments, by piecemeal annexation, by
secret spoliation, and by open fraud, one of the most
chivalrous, venerable, and illustrious governments of
Europe has been annihilated. At the commencement
of its troubles its spoilers were its friends, at the ter-
mination of those troubles its destroyers were its
protectors ! By the annexation of Cracow to Austria
the last vestige of Poland has disappeared—but may
not that vestige be revived ? Is the dismembered
kingdom permanently dissipated ? May not a tardy,
but terrible vengeance be wreaked upon the sharers
of that spoil ? May not the cause of the dispersed
and abused people be vindicated by the outraged spirit
of civilisation ? May not the nations who have ac-
quired for themselves the blessings of liberal
institutions, and political liberty may not
the free nations of the west abase those
despots of the east who have obtained an
infamous celebrity by their predatory incur-
sions upon their neighbours ? Filled with sym.
pathy for a brave and unfortunate race, the popula-
tion of England and France are aroused to indigna-
tion against the Northern Powers; the population of
those two countries are regarding with jealous eyes
the proceedings of their Ministers in regard to the
recent atrocity perpetrated in Galicia. Anything
like connivance at the villanics of Austria, Russia,
and Prussia would not be permitted by the
multitude, if it were attempted. But such will
not be attempted ; it cannot be attempted. This
generation would never sanction any such infamous
movement which could thus render our Governments
accomplices after the fact. The days of Ministerial
hoodwinking and political chicanery are past, as far
at least as the population of England is concerned.
Sunday last, being the anniversary of the Palish
revolution of 1830, was commemorated by the refu-
gees in London with an enthusiasm most in ac-
cordance with their present interesting position.

stances, and sojourning in a remote island, the in-

BAIL COURT.-(THIS DAY.)

FLANDERS V. SIR H. BUNBURY.
The arguments in this part heard case were continued
:his morning, and were not concluded at the rising of
,he Court.

EXCHEQUER.-(THIS DAY.),

EDKINS WILSON.-ASSAULT UPON A VROCESS SERVER,
In this case the plaintiff sought to recover compensa-

tion in damages for an alleged assault committed by the
defendant upon him. The plaintiff (formerly an omnibus
conductor) was employed by attorneys to serve writs,
and about the Bth of May had occasion to serve a copy
of a writ upon the defendant, who carried on business as
a publican, in Old-street, St. Luke's. Accordingly
about eleven o'clock of the above day he proceeded to
the house of the defendant, and left the copy of the writ
upon the counter of his shop, and having done so he
left the house. Upon his doing so the defendant fol-
lowed, and while crossing the road knocked the plaintiff
down with his fist, by which he was severely injured.
Several witnesses were called by Mr. Sergeant JONES
(who appeared fur the plaintiff) in support of these
statements.

Mr. M. CHAMBERS, on the part of the defendant, cln-
tended that his client was not guilty of the charge. The
action on which the writ had been issued was settled
some days prior to the time of the attempted service of
it by the plaintiff, and that he insisted upon serving
the writ notwithstanding his having been informed that
the action was settled.

One of the witnesses called on the part of the defence
said that the plaintiff had offered to give the writ up to
any person on payment of 55., that being the sum he
was to have for the service of it upon the plaintiff.
A policeman who was present at the time of the
alleged assault, said that the plaintiff was rot sober at
the time, and that he took off his coat and wanted to
fight ; upon which he was told by the witness that unless
he went away quietly he must take him to the station-
house and lock him up. No blow was struck by the de-
fendant while he was there.
The LORD CHIEF BARON having summed up, the jury
returned a verdict for the defendant.

of the council it appeared that 27 new members hay,.
been elected sinco the last anniversary. Very valuable,
parcels of British and foreign plants had been receives',
and would shortly be distributed to the members. Tb
report was unanimously adopted ; after which, a balk
took place for the council for the ensuing year, when th
president was re-elected, and nominated J. Miers, Esq,
F.R.S., and E. Doubleday, Esq., F.L.S., vice-president.
Portraits of the President and Mr. Hewitt Watsc

Raiment in the course of the forthcoming session, tl •
portals of the new Railway Board Rooms in Gres'
George-street, Westminster, were thrown open to the;
utmost width to receive the huge masses of engrave'
papers, which owe their origin to the inventive facultit.
of boards of directors, solicitors, secretaries, and tb
thousand and one other persons interested in the exteL
sion of railway communication in every district fret c
Cornwall to Caithness. The new main schemes in tb.
list of Bills deposited are very few, though the tots'
number of plans deposited amounts to two hundred ane
ninety-one.

BHOPAL.

One of those mischievous risings which
to b
proveeformid-
able or insignificant exactly as they chance
at first, has just occurred in Bhopal. Had it been treatedover-
over-
looked or mismanaged, or not completely and success..
fully crushed at once, it might most probably have given
rise to long and protracted disorders in the Saugor and
Nurbudda territories, where misunderstandings have
too recently been hushed up not to be very easily
extended and inflamed afresh. The court of Bhopal is
unfortunately infested by a set of poor, extravagant,
and inconsiderate Mahomedan chiefs. Under the late
ruler, with whom they. occasionally shared in the
excesses, the indulgence in which proved fatal to him,
they had been all subserviency and obedience—their
powers of resistance scarcely being such as to
render its exercise alarming. Unhappily the young Nawab
had been fostered in his errors by one who ought to have
checked or restrained them ; and his own father-in-law,
Ameer Mahomed Khan, who lived upon his resources,
was, under the guise of the most assiduous attention,
the worst enemy his son possessed. The succession fell
upon an infant daughter of the Nawab—grandchild of
course of Ameer Mahomed Khan; and she having been
fully recognised by the British Government, preparations
were made for the due administration of the affairs of
the country. The arbitrary and tyrannical despotism
and disgusting debaucheries of Ameer Mahomed Khan
were so notorious as to have excited general disgust in
all the respectable members of the community ; yet,
notwithstanding
these things, he endeavoured to create
Party, and stir up tumult, in favour of a natural son
of his own, whom he wished to elevate to the seat of
authority. It having been intimated to him that his
wisdom lay in remaining in quietness, and that he was
expected to retire to the fort of Rahseen, in his own
jaghire, he there

WAREHAM V. PEARCE, NASH, AND ANOTHER.
THE GREAT WESTERN ROBBERIES.
The evidence on behalf of the defendants having
finished last night, on the opening of the Court this
morning
Mr. Sergeant Winuivs replied.
The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE then proceeded to sum up
the case. The action was brought by the plaintiff;
Thomas Wareham, against the defendants, to recover
damages for an alleged illegal imprisonment from four
o'clock in one day till the morning of the following. The
imprisonment must be admitted as proved. To the
declaration of the plaintiff there were several pleas,
but the material ones were four, six, or seven.
The fourth plea was, that previous to the trespass com-
plained of, Garratt had feloniously stolen a certain
its
.having case, and that the plaintiff well knowing
.having been feloniously obtained and received, comforted
and harboured the said Daniel Garratt. The sixth plea
was,
.that previous to the alleged trespass, Maynard had
committed felony in receiving stolen property from
Garratt, and acting as his accessory after the fact, and
that the plaintiff', knowing this to be the case, received,
harboured, and comforted the former. The seventh plea
was compounded of the two former, with the addition that
he aided and assisted Garratt and Maynard in
negotiating for the return of stolen property.

SINDE.

-7" From Kurrachee we have intelligence to the 26th,
and of a few days' older date from all parts of
Sinde. October is the month of fevers which follow
on the subsidence of the Indus, and a considerable
amount of this variety of sickness accordingly prevailed
all along the river. The climate towards the coast was
delightfully cool. Four of the war steamers constituting
the Indus flotilla had been placed at the disposal of Go-
vernment for goods and passenger transport. The ar-
rangements for plying them were partly incomplete; but
it, was believed they would run once a fortnight betwixt
Kurrachee and Sukkur, calling at all the intermediate
stations. This seems an eminently expedient and judi-
cious arrangement. A very great reduction in the army
was expected to take place in January, and political
changes of magnitude and importance were believed to be
impending. The necessity of opening a five per cent.
loan merely to meet the deficiency Sinde had occasioned
will probably be one of the most intelligible hints that
can be given that if Sinde can only be maintained at a
dead loss of a million of money and a thousand men an-
nually—the past price current—we must part with it :
that we must try to salve our injured honour as we best
may: our resources cannot afford to foster false pride or
illegitimate vanity. Several courts-martial were impend-
ing. The results of that on Conductor M Donald proved
that the clamour about defrauding the men of their sup-
plies by false weights and balances was without any
foundation in fact.

LONDON, WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 2, 1846.

We have seldom perused dispatches from Born_
bay with such peculiar gratification as those which
have just arrived. Everything that was gloomy,
foreboding, and unpropitious was condensed into the
preceding intelligence. With the present informa-
tion almost all our recent fears of a sanguinary
campaign in consequence of the insurrections in
Cashmere have been dissipated. Nor is this the only
satisfactory consideration. Sinde is reported to be
in a comparative state of tranquillity,—a circum-
stance to be marvelled at like a mermaid or an
unicorn. Caubul, in like manner, is described to be
agitated by nothing more formidable than the
pageantries and festivities consequent upon the mar -
riage of the redoubtable MAHOMED AILBAR KHAN to

the daughter of the supreme ruler of Herat. There is a

probability, moreover, of the peaceful settlement of
affairs in Mooltan, notwithstanding the rumour which
is prevalent of the movement of troops in that
direction. Before the departure of DEWAN MOOLRAJ
MOOLTANEE from Lahore, we are sanguine that the
immediate difficulties opposed to the pacification of
that province may be removed. Until such an arrange-
ment be completed the stability of the Durbar will
continue to be most precarious. By certain inexpensive
and otherwise harmless concessions, the revolt might
be " nipped in the bud," and its recurrence thereby ren-
dered almost impossible. In the anxiety of the new
administration to maintain its influence, and to perpe-
tuate its power, we have the best guarantee for the
prosecution of the pending negotiations in a man-
ner the most calculated to produce the desired effect.
The numerous and conflicting insinuations which
have been latterly afloat to the discredit ofthe Lahore
Government are proved to have been singu-
larly fallacious. As we intimated in our last, for
example, there was a report of the faith•
lessness of the Durbar to the Chief of Jamoo,
a man whom they were described to regard
as nothing better than a successful rebel, and
to treat with corresponding hypocrisy. That
faithlessness now appears to have existed merely
in the imaginations of those who disseminated the
calumny. We are heartily rejoiced at this disclosure,
not from any credulous expectation of beholding an
eternal quietude and a continuous candour in those re-
gions, but because we are satisied that there does
exist a dim and remote possibility of inoculating
our Eastern neighbours with somewhat of the dis-
relish for systematic perfidy and of the lust for
incessant rapine and bloodshed, which is felt by the
more enlightened among the Europeans.
In its very nature the Oriental heart is per-
meated with treachery; the children of the East
appear to imbibe an intense lore for perfidy
with the maternal milk ; deceit is a portion of their
vitality. Their governments exist only by a homi-
cidal terrorism. From such a race, therefore, it were
insanity to expect any friendship upon which implicit
reliance could be placed. We should be leaning not
only upon a broken reed, but upon a reed hollow

is prevalent of the movement of troops in that
direction. Before the departure of DEWAN MOOLRAJ
MOOLTANEE from Lahore, we are sanguine that the
immediate difficulties opposed to the pacification of
that province may be removed. Until such an arrange-
ment be completed the stability of the Durbar will
continue to be most precarious. By certain inexpensive
and otherwise harmless concessions, the revolt might
be " nipped in the bud," and its recurrence thereby ren-
dered almost impossible. In the anxiety of the new
administration to maintain its influence, and to perpe-
tuate its power, we have the best guarantee for the
prosecution of the pending negotiations in a man-
ner the most calculated to produce the desired effect.
The numerous and conflicting insinuations which
have been latterly afloat to the discredit ofthe Lahore
Government are proved to have been singu-

larly fallacious. As we intimated in our last, for
example, there was a report of the faith-
lessness of the Durbar to the Chief of Jamoo,
a man whom they were described to regard
as nothing better than a successful rebel, and
to treat with corresponding hypocrisy. That
faithlessness now appears to have existed merely
in the imaginations of those who disseminated the
calumny. We are heartily rejoiced at this disclosure,
not from any credulous expectation of beholding an
eternal quietude and a continuous candour in those re-
gions, but because we are satisfied that there does
exist a dim and remote possibility of inoculating
our Eastern neighbours with somewhat of the dis-
relish for systematic perfidy and of the lust for
incessant rapine and bloodshed, which is felt by the
more enlightened among the Europeans.

In its very nature the Oriental heart is per-
meated with treachery; the children of the East
appear to imbibe an intense love for perfidy
with the maternal milk; deceit is a portion of their

vitality. Their governments exist only by a homi-

cidal terrorism. From such a race, therefore, it were

insanity to expect any friendship upon which implicit

reliance could be placed. We should be leaning not

only upon a broken reed, but upon a reed hollow

THE POPE AND THE PRINCE DE

JOINVILLE.

A letter from Rome, published in the Semaphore of
Marseilles, gives the following details on the subject of
the presents exchanged between the Pope and the Prince
de Joinville:—
" His Holiness has presented to the Prince the com-
plete collection of the engravings of the pontifical chal-
cography, representing .all the ancient and modern monu-
ments of Rome. The value of this collection is estimated
at 6,000 f. To this his Holiness has added two alabaster
vases, which had attracted the Prince's notice, and which
are formed of the magnificent alabaster sent to Gregory
XVI. by Mehemet Ali. The Pope also presented to him
chaplets for the Queen and the Princesses. That fur
her Majesty is of great value. The box containing these
latter objects was brought to the French embassy by his
Holiness himself. The presents made by the Prince
were not less magnificent than those given by the Duke
d'Aumale, on his visit to Rome. The family of the Pope
(for such is the designation given to the household)
received from the Prince 1,000 Roman crowns (5,500 F.)
All the Roman personages who visited his Royal High-
ness received souvenirs suitable to their social position.
The objects given by the Prince were all in gold, and
enriched with diamonds. The servants of the embassy
received 1,200 f. The presents made by the Prince are
estimated at 40,000 f. He has left with his Holiness, as
with every one who has seen him, the most agreeable
impression, and ho is now the subject of general con-
versation.

Viscount Palmerston came to town at lan early
hour on Saturday morning from Broadlands, Hants,
having the previous day received highly important dis-
patches from his Excellency Mr. Bulwer, at Madrid.

SUGAR.—OnIy a limited business has been done in British
Plantation at barely previous rates, and the market has been
heavy. About 300 hhds have been sold. The public sales
have consisted principally of 7,816 bags Mauritius, 4,621
bags Bengal, 63 bags and 381 baskets Java. Barely two-
thirds of the Mauritius found buyers at previous prices, but
under which holders did not seem disposed to realise. Low
to good bright brown brought 38s to 44s 6d; and low soft to
fine yellow, 44s to 51s 6d. Nearly all the Bengal sold, but
in some instances at rather lower prices, viz., at
48s Gd to 55s for very low greyish white, or fine
yellow, to fine white Benares • low to good brown, 388 to 42s ;
and go )d to very fine chrystalised yellow at 526 to 55s per

LONDON, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 15, 1846.

Had the French Government been desirous of
itenziering itself utterly obnoxious to the Spanish
people, it could not possibly have attained its object
more effectually than by the recent negotiations for a
marriage between the Infanta Luisa and the Duc
MONTPENSIER. Throughout almost every indi-
xidual section of that population an intense antipathy
has been thereby excited against everything Gallic, and
against everything that recalls la grande nation to their
recollection. Not merely have these sentiments of
hostility been developed by caustic commentaries in
the Madrid newspapers, and by impassioned petitions
to Queen ISABELLA, but, according to private and
credible information, the conversations in the domestic
circles of the Peninsular metropolis are coloured by
the same feelings of indignation, and atrabilious pas-
quinades against the projected alliance are vended
and sung in its thoroughfares. All classes, excepting
only that mongrel class entitled the Afrancesados, are
united in deprecating the diplomacy of the French
Ambassador.

We remember in one of the charming stories
of the Flemish novelist Mumma SCUOKKE
he illustrates the demoralising and denationalising
influence of one country becoming subservient to the
habits, customs, manners, language, and policy of a
foreign race: he displays the frivolity, and even the
ignominious criminality of such a petty imitation ;
and does so lv j‘ilstancing the Frenchifled hurgo-
wives and coquettish fro- 4„,
masters and bitrgithasters'
still so numerous amongst his countrymen. The' little
'
book has already tended somewhat to the di
Aninution
of that Gallo-mania in Flanders. Precisely such a pas-
sion for French influence has been latt,,r)y infecting
officials, while

In the Frertl. markets considerable excitement seems
to have prevaikd A letter from Marseilles, of the sth
instant, status that the stocks of wheat on the spot had
become greatly reduced ; which, with the excited state-
ments from hence, and continued orders from Langue-

secondary descriptions from 435. 6d. to 465. per qr.
At other ports in the Mediterranean the value of
wheat was, according to the most recent advices, equally
high.
At Leghorn, on the 2d September, there was a lively
demand ; and Marianopoli and Ghirka Wheat, to arrive,
was then paid with 425. per qr. free on board. Indian
corn had also been much inquired for, 275. having been
paid for Galatz. At Trieste this article was quoted 225.
