PORTLAND PATENT SPRING BRUSII
and CHIMNEY-SWEEPING APPARATUS thoroughly
cleanses Flues, and renders the operation of Sweeping a cleanly one,
so that a Flue may be freed from soot without the mast costly orna-
ment in the apartment sustaining the least injury. A short time
ago an experiment was made with this apparatus at the House of
Commons, the success of which was complete. Sheets of writing
paper were placed upon the chimney-piece, and in various other
parts of the room, and after the completion of the sweeping not one
particle of soot was discernible upon any of the sheets of paper.
To be seen at 69, Welbeck-street, Cavendish-square.
N.B. The Proprietor is willing to grant licenses for the use of this
patent invention in the provincial towns of England.

CUNDY'S PATENT OPEN FIRE
VENTILATING STOVE.
(Testimonial after One Winter's Trial.)
29, Cha►ter•house-square, Monday, Feb. 17, 1846.
Dear Sir,—The stoves which you have recently erected in my
church have been highly successful, and I have great pleasure in ex-
pressing to you the entire satisfaction which they have given to all
parties. The church, which was notoriously noted for its coldness
and bad ventilation, is now most agreeably warmed and well venti-
lated. I shall be most happy, on any occasion, to bear testimony to
the excellency of your stoves; and I will endeavour, to the best of
my power, to make them known, and I will certainly recommend
them to my friends,
I remain, dear Sir, yours faithfully,
Mr. Candy. W. ROGERS, St. Thomas's, Charter-house.
The Stoves to be had of Messrs. Dowson, 69, Welbeck-street, Ca-
vendish-square ; where they may be seen In operation.

ANNIVERSARY OF THE POLISH
REVOLUTION.
On the 29th of November, that day being the anni-
versary of the Polish Revolution of 1830, the Polish
refugees resident in London attended Divine service at
the Belgian Chapel, London-road. The Rev. S. P.
Brzezinski, their countryman and chaplain, officiated,
and afterwards delivered an appropriate sermon, the text
being taken from the 2d Epistle of St. Paul to the Co-
rinthians, chapter 1, verse 5. Subsequently a meeting
was held at Sussex Chambers, Duke-street, St. James's.
Captain JABLONSKI having been unanimously called to
the chair, addressed his countrymen at some length. He
portrayed to them the present wretched condition of
their once free and glorious country, which had rendered
eminent services to Christianity and civilisation. Poland
was now oppressed by the three perfidious neighbours.
One, an open tyrant, like a branded criminal, struck a
blew whenever he found an opportunity, boasted of his
masked

of his victim by a hired hatirThe third a""r into the heart
was a political
hermaphrodite, partaking in some way of the destructive
nature of both, and acting in concert with them in per-
petrating evil deeds, but forcing himself into the rank orf
his western neighbours, and displaying before them his
assumed love of freedom and civilisation. These three
oppressors had sworn the destruction of Poland, and in
that, at least, they kept their word. Many cruelties in-
flicted upon the unfortunate Polish people were not be-
lieved in this country, and he did not wonder—they were
too atrocious to be believed by a feeling heart. The suf-
ferings of the Abbess Mieezyslawska were disputed; the
late wholesale butchery of the land proprietors, nobles
and clergy, in Galicia, ordered and paid by the infamous
Austrian Government, was at first disbelieved here, but
now the mask fell, and the crime appeared in its full
horror. The recent suppression of the republic of
Cracow and its incorporation with Austria created a
strange surprise in every country, especially in England
and France ; they (Poles) were not astonished at it.
They knew the policy of the three aggressors too well;
and they should not be astonished at seeing soon further
encroachments, the accomplisiment of which had been
bequeathed to their successors by Peter, called the Great,
and Catherine 11. Whether England and France, the
two powerful nations standing at the head of civilisation
and liberty of the world, would check and chastise the
absolute ttnd criminal conduct of the three despotic
rulers, time would show ; the Poles, however, should
only rely on their own resources. The power of a nation
of twenty millions when once united for action was
irresistible. They should not be disheartened by past
disasters ; they should persevere in their patriotic
endeavours, and trusting to Divine Providence and the
justice of their cause, hope for the restoration of their
fatherland. (The Gallant Chairman was repeatedly
applauded.)
The following resolutions were then proposed and
unanimously carried :-
1. Proposed by Mr, WIERCINSKI and seconded by Mr.
Prusinowski—
" That the assembled Poles having found an hospitable
rcfuge in England, and enjoying the blessing of freedom
in that country, where they can publicly express their
own feelings and those of their oppressed brethren, do
not cease to protest most solemnly against the partition
of their fatherland by the three despots of Russia, Aus-
tria, and Prussia: considering it, as well as every act
connected with it, down to the incorporation of Cracow
with Austria, which is the last deed of their long and
ignominous conspiracy, as a flagrant and atrocious rob-
bery. They denounce it as injurious to humanity and to
the safety of the liberal institutions of Europe; and they
warn and entreat, in the name of civilisation and liberty,
all concerned in the preservation of them, to vindicate
their sacred rights, thus outraged by the execrable
policy of the spoliators of Poland. Faithful to this
cause, for which they took up their arms on the 29th of
November, 1830, the Poles are ever ready to
sacrifice their lives for it; thereby to avert the
imminent danger with which Europe is at
this moment threatened ; in the confident hope
that the interest of the enlightened countries of western
Europe, and the interest of other Sclavonic nations, will
induce them to co-operate for the re establishment of
Poland among the free nations, in order that she may
again become a bulwark against the incursions of Asiatic
barbarism."
2. Proposed by Mr. JACKOWSKI, and seconded by Mr.
TERLECKI—
" That the Poles express their feelings of contempt
and indignation towards the Austrian Government for
its iniquitous and treacherous conduct in Galicia and
Cracow. That perfidious Government having organised
and paid bands of assassins, and incited the ignorant
peasantry to murder the nobility and clergy in Galicia,
threw afterwards the guilt of that crime upon the citi-
zens of Galicia and Cracow, imprisoned the patriots who
escaped the knives of the murderers, proclaimed thanks
to the perpetrators of those atrocities for their fidelity to
the Throne, and finally annihilated the republic of Cracow
and incorporated it with the Austrian dominions."
3. Proposed by Major GIELGUD, and seconded by Mr.
P. F. ZALESKI—
" That the Poles express their thanks to the British
nation for the hospitality they have met with in this
country, and for the protection they have found in its
laws. In particular their thanks are due to the Lite-
rary Association of the Friends of Poland, to the Right
Hon. Lord Dudley Coutts Stuart, to the Corporation of
the City of London, and other public bodies and private
individuals who have continued to evince their sympathy
with the misfortunes of Poland, and to endeavour to
alleviate the sufferings of her exiled sons."
4. Proposed by Mr. SZNLCZEWSKI, and seconded by
Mr. MICHALSKI—
" That the thanks of the Poles are duo to the editors
of the metropolitan and provincial journals, who have
nobly taken part in advocating the cause of Poland, and
who have in an independent and energetic manner de-
nounced to the public opinion the implacable persecu-
tion of which that country is the victim."
Several other gentlemen addressed the assembly. The
thanks having then been voted to the chairman, the
meeting. which was E-elusively composed of Poles,
