virtual or actual co-operation of other nations, the re-
storation of freedom to the Poles is totally chimerical.
It is an impossibility. The seeds of regeneration must
be sown, they must be tended and nourished, and com-
mence of themselves a secret germination before they
can burst from the soil and flourish. A trite philosopher
has said " Rome was not built in a day." On
the same principle, if the population of Poland
aspire to better things, their plans must be
gradual and systematic. Otherwise, the hour of their
emancipation will not merely be deferred, but more in-
tolerable miseries will acrue from the failure of each
insurrection. On these accounts, and on these accounts
alone, we have deeply mourned the recent struggles in
Gallicia ; we consider the instigators of the outbreak as
unwise and incompetent in the last degree. They pos-
sessed enthusiasm and patriotism, hut they wanted pru-
dence and tact. Nevertheless, though present suffering may
result from these proceedings, we are sanguine that their
ultimate effect will prove beneficial. A new victory for
Austria, Russia, and Prussia, will only serve to enhance
the commiseration of Europe and America towards
Poland; the effort alone of her people will revive—it has
already revived, and will continue to do so—the ano-
malous position of a territory situated in the centre of
the civilised world being a prey to the avarice of three
adjacent states, her constitution dismembered, her cities
the spoliation of invaders. A sense of this anomaly, a
persuasion of its injustice, will never die away among
the nations of the earth, until the error is rectified, until
Poland is restored to her original place in the
chart of Europe. As among the first indications of this
consequence of the late doings at Cracow, we hail with
real satisfaction a meeting of the friends of Poland, held
yesterday evening in the Crown and Anchor Tavern, a
report of which meeting a great press of matter unfor-
tunately obliges us to postpone. That two thousand
persons were present, that a working man filled the
chair, and that all the speeches were characterised by a
fierce hatred of oppression and a cordial sympathy
with the Polish insurgents, will be sufficient to
show that the assembly was precisely what it should
have been, especially as being the representative of the
sentiments entertained in this vast metropolis. Occa-
sionally, perhaps, the holiness of the cause, for the advo-
cacy of which the parties present had been convened, was
tarnished by language too virulent and sweeping ; a
blemish in the speakers, which we the more particularly
regret, as it was derogatory to the dignity of their
theme. For example, the Chairman was rather injudi-
cious, if not actually blind to propriety, in declaring
that the aristocracy of England, en masse, sym-
pathised in no manner with the grievances of Po-
land : it was a wholesale condemnation, the inaccu-
racy of which there are many living witnesses
to prove. The vituperation, in like manner, uttered by
Mr. FEA.RGUS O'CONNOR upon the newspaper press of
Great Britain for its " baseness, servility, truckling, cor-
ruption, and perfidy," was much too comprehensive and
violent to forward the cause of liberality in any one
particular. But enough of this demonstration in favour
of Poland ; it has afforded us much satisfaction, as we
confidently regard it merely in the light of a prelimi-
nary movement. The civil rights of many millions of
our fellow-men are too holy, and are too intimately
blended by association with our own, to become
a matter of indifference or neglect. Poland, in
fact, demands the sympathy of every European race in
her present hour of tribulation, and the voice that issues
this mandate is the solemn voice of history. That
voice tells us, that the gratitude, the succour, the
hearts, and the hands of Europe, belong by right to Po-
land, whenever by her distresses she requires assistance.
Never should that glorious achievement of the Polish
troops, by which this right has been entailed upon
their posterity, be forgotten or disregarded ; never should
that memorable day be lost sight of, when, in 1683, the
auxiliary forces of Poland, under their monarch JOHN
SOI3IESKI (amounting, with a few German regiments, to
merely 70,000 men),routed an army of 200,000 Turks upon
the plains of Vienna, and by so doing preserved Austria
and the rest of Europe from becoming the dominion of
barbarians and infidels. And this victory, be it
recollected, was attributable exclusively to the ,:onsum-
mate tact of the Polish Sovereign and the dauntless
bearing of his troops ; a fact the more re-
markable from the simultaneous pusillanimity
of the Austrian Emperor. Within five days
Vienna would have been compelled to capitulate,
when the continent would have beea wholly exposed to
the depredations of a lawless body of conquerors: from
this calamity were Austria and her sister kingdoms
rescued by the genius of SOLIESKI and the valour of his
soldiers. Have not the Poles therefore a claim—a won-
derful and deathless claim—upon the sympathy
and succour of every European empire ? And
has not ungrateful Austria a dire and unpa-
ralleled crime to answer for ? had NAPOLEON
but accomplished his views upon the Autocrat, Russia
would have been driven into a compromise, Austria and
Prussia would have been compelled to concede, and
Poland would have been again numbered among the
nations of the earth. An issue most emphatically
diverse prevented the accomplishment of this grand
design, and. Poland remains in servitude. The day of
retribution must, hoe ever, come at last. Patriotism
must predominate over tyranny.

EXP RE. `S FROM PARIS

SAFET Y of the OVERLAND MAIL.
(From the Times)
We have received by Extraordinary Express the
Paris papers of Wednesday, with a letter from our cor-
respondent. The latter announces the safe arrival of the
Indian Mail, and consequently of the Virago steamer.
There is no news in the Paris papers. A Radical
journal, lEsprit Public, states that an express from
Madrid, dated 20:h instant, bad been received, announc-
ing the commencement of insurrectionary movements,
but our Paris correspondent contradicts it formally, with
however, this qualification, that fears for the conse-
quences of the late coup d'etat of General Narvaez were
entertained in the highest quarters in the French capital.
The statement above referred to, added to the in-
genious and alarming inferences of the Bears on the
Paris Bourse, from the lea:ling article of the Times of
Monday, depressed the Paris Money Market on Wed-
nesday. Our readers will apyreciatl the sagacity of

HOUSE OF LORDS -(THIS DAY.)
Their Lordship's sat at ten o'clock this morning to hear
Scotch appeals. The Peers present were Lord Brougham,
Lord Cottenham, and Lord Campbell.
THE EARL OF lIOPETOWN V. RAMSAY.
The arguments in this appeal from the judgment of the
Court of Session were commenced, and occupied their Lord-
ships the whole morning.

V ICE-CITANCERY.-(f HIS DAY.)
The Lord Chancellor sat in the Ohl Hall, Lincoln's-inn to-
day, and heard lunatic and cause petitions.
ARCHER V. HUDSON—INJUNCTION.
His LORDSHIP gave judgment to-day iu this case, which
was argued before him about a week since, upon an appeal
from the decision of the Master of the Rolls. Upon the
hearing of the case we fully stated the Lets, and it is there-
fore, unnecessary to repeat them. His Lordship, after going
at considerable length into the case, dismissed the appeal
with costs.
IV THE MATTER OF DICE SOMBRE, LUNATIC.
Upon this case, which stands on the paper for hearing,
upon the petition of Ir. Dyce Sombre, to supersede the com-
mission of lunacy.
Mr. WAKEFIELD, who appeared for the petitioner, stated
that he felt that he could not properly occupy the time of the
Court by opening the petition, as Mr. Dyes Sombre had not
come within the jurisdiction of the Court, he would rather
that the petition should be discussed, than proceed with it
under such circumsrances.
Mr. CALVERT trusted that the Court would dismiss the
petition.
The LORD CII,kNCELLOR declined to do so, considering the
circumstances of the case; and after a short conversation,
Mr. WAKEFIELD obtained leave to amend the petition.
The LORD CHANCELLOR, said an application had been
made to him to hear a petition connected with the case in
his private room. Looking at the circumstances of the case
he had determined to hear nothing with respect to the
lunacy in private. Ultimately it was arranged that the
petition of the Committee of the estate to which his Lordship
referred, and which related to certain jewels, should be hears
the first to-morrow.

We have received Madrid journals of the 18th, but
their principal contents have been anticipated by the
telegraphic dispatches. The Chamber of Deputies met
on that day for the last time, according to all appear-
ances, when Senor NOCEDAL, one of the Secretaries,
rose and said :—" The President has directed me to in-
form the assembly, as his ill state of health will not
allow him to address it, that at a late hour in the
night he received a communication from the President
of the Council of the Ministers, signifying that the Con-
gress should meet to hear the organisation of the Cabi
net and other important communications." The names
of the new Ministers were then announced, and after
that the following royal decree was read :
" In virtue of the prerogative conferred upon me by
Article 26 of the Constitution, and by the advice of my
Council of 111inistenz, I have decreed and do decree as fol-
lows :—The sittings of the Cortes of the present Legislature
are prorogued."
M. NCCEDAL, then, in the name of the President,
declared that the sitting was closed. The deputies
then retired. The Gazette, of the same date, publishes
a royal degree superseding General CONCHA in the ge-
neral command of the Basque provinces, by General
URBISTONDO, formerly an officer in the Carlist army.
General ConTEs, one of the chiefs of the War depart-
ment, had resigned, and ARETA, the pclitical Chief of
Madrid, had been dismissed, and replaced by General
BILBOA. All the troops in garrison in Madrid had re-
ceived orders to be night and day under arms, and
ready to march out at a moment's notice, in case of any
attempt at disturbance. We have given, in another part
of The Sun, the manifesto issued by the new Cabinet,
and it is quite in keeping with the character of the man
who has assumed the dictatorship of Spain. The Funds
had risen nearly three per cent. On the 18th the Three
per Cents. closed at 31 for cash, and 31-i at thirty days ;
the Five per Cents. at 22 at thirty days ; the shares of
the Bank of San Fernando, 255 ; of Isabel, 168.

With the exception of an article on the affairs of Spain,
in the Journal des Debats, the Paris papers contain little
news of importance. That journal and the Messager
appear to ba the only papers that had received detailed
accounts of the suspension of the Cortes, and the de-
struction of the freedom of the press, and the manifesto
of the new Government] establishing arbitrary power.
The great press of other important matter prevents us
from giving the article at length, and we therefore con-
fine ourselves to a brief extract, which shows that this
Government paper declares strongly against this new
5) stem of despotism. We only hope the Court of France
and the GuIZOT Ministry will evince a similar spirit:—
" The new Ministry formed under the auspices of General
Narvaez has inaugurated its accession to power by two acts
of the greatest importance, and which show in what a dis-
astrous path it wishes to lead the country and the young
Queen. By a decree of March 17, the Ministry has ordered
the indefinite prorogation of the Cortes. This measure will
be followed, no person can doubt, by the dissolution of the
Congress, which, compcsed almost entirely of memLers of
the Moderado party, has given so many pledges of prudence
and devotedness to the throne and the constitution. This
suspension of the Cortes is so much the more inexplicable
that it has been pronounced before the, vote of the budget
for the present year, and before the present Cabinet has ob-
tained a vote of confidence to collect taxes and contribu-
tions. The second decree of the new Ministry has an awk-
ward analogy with the ordinances of July, 1830. It pro-
nounces in reality the suspensioa of the liberty of the press.
The new Ministry has, in consequence, been looked on with
a general sentiment of uneasiness. and even terror. Madrid,
on the evening c.f. the 19th, was tranquil, and order had not
been troubled, but there reigned a great agitation in the
public mind. The measures which the Government have
adopted betray its own disquietudes; the garrison remains
day and night under arms, and several generals and
colonels have been already replaced or dismissed. The situa-
tion is grave for Spain. The Ministry is placed at the head
of an ultra and turbulent minority of 40 members, all per-
sonal friends of General Narvaez, or declared enemies of the
constitutional Government. Its first acts have been a fla-
grant violation of the constitution, and one may say an insult
to the convictions and good sense of the country. There is
no possible safety for Spain but in the maintenance of the
constitution, and with the concurrence of the whole Moderado
party, which for four years has shown so much devotedness
to the throne, and 30 much attachment to the constitutional
institutions. We hope that this party, so powerful by its
number and by its position in the state, will know how, under
actual circumstances, to remain united and firm in its prin-
ciples, and consistent in its condut.t."

twentieths of the existing lines rive profitable invast-

can damage the circulation, or impose difficulties
in the way of conducting ether branches of industry or of
commerce, is a point which we leave the journal referred to
to prove to the satisfaction of well-informed men, whq hold
a directly contrary opinion. No feet can be more clearly
demonstrated than that when new railways have been
commenced the circulation of money is immediately
extended, and cluing benefit not only to the county
through which each pastes; but also adding to the comforts
of the lower classes. It may be true that the prices of the
shares of existing lines have been mainly elevated, but this
was the natural result of strict confidence in the Andertakings,
and not a little to by ascribed to the circumstance that a
higher rate of interest was obtained for money advanced in
their c,nstrucion than that yielded by the Public Securities.
