HAMBURGH MAIL.

Hilarius Wieliezkaer set out yesterday evening for Warsaw ;
this is the best proof of loyalty that he can give.
ViaNNA, MARCH 28.—Prince Frederick Schwarzenburg,
who is appointed to assist the Governor-General, Arch-
Duke Ferdinand, is come to 'Vienna for some days.
He is said to have brought a complete account
of the melancholy state of things in Gallacia.
While the French Chambers indulge in angry language re-
specting the causes of the murders of Polish nobles, and
bitterly attack our whole syStem of Government, and while
European journals are disputing pro and con whether the
pretended distribution is true or not, the plain statement
of a patriotic peasant, which is confirmed in all quarte,-
s
may perhaps throw the most light on this melancholy episode
of the Polish history. A person of distinction, who is every-
where received with joy by the peasants, asked them wl.y
they had not sooner given notice to the magistrates of the
arms which were given them by the nobles in every possi-
ble way, by which they might have prevented the insurrec-
tion. They answered, if they had done so, the magistrates
would not have believed there. The nobles and their officers
would have protested their innocence, and declared the dis-
tribution of weapons to be a calumny ; and we should have
been punished and only have delayed the rebellion. We,
however, informed the magistrates in the month of January
that the nobles were arming; but we were not listened to,
and we therefore waited, for our own safety, to tee which
course things would take.
PosEN, MARCH 27.—A private letter from the kingdom of
Poland lies before us, which affirms that numerous arrests of
nobles have taken place there for some days past.
TRIESTE.—The convention between the Austrian Lloyd
and the English Government for forwarding the Indian
mails, for the space of six months, has lately been altered
on account a the uncertainty of the weather in spring, and
it is now agreed that the Austrian English mail between
Trieste and. Alexandria shall not comnience on the Ist of
April, as was at first determined, but on the let of May.--

THE PROVISION SCARCITY.
DUBLIN, APRIL 4. —The following instructive conversa-
tion is reported as having taken place at a meeting on Tues-
day of the Cork Poor Relief Committee. That the farmers
have in many instances contributed to the prevailing scarcity
by holding back their stocks with a view of extorting famine
prices there is no reason whatever to doubt, and if, from the
precautions taken by Government, they have discovered that
they have overshot the mark, few will be found to sympa-
thize with their disappointment. Why " Peel ought to be
hanged" for checkmating these forestallers is a riddle the
solution of which must be left to the two enthusiastic gen-
tlemen who suggested this ignoble termination to the Pre-
mier's existence :
_ _

" Mr. MURPHY said that when it was found that the meal
(Indian corn meal, of course) was selling in Cork, a panic
struck the farmers, and he was informed that last Sunday a
number of them waited upon a gentleman to know whether
they should send their produce at once to market.
" Mr. G. C. FEATIS was told the previous evening that the
selling of Indian meal had struck terror into the hearts of
the country people, and they were asking advice as to 'whe-
ther they should send their produce to market, as they had
previously kept it up for high prices.
" Mr. Crreit—Then Peel ought to be hanged for bring-
ing it here.—(Laughter.)
" Mr. Coma—He ought to be hanged, whether he did it
cr let it alone.—(Loud laughter.)"
EVICTION OF TENANTRY. Fr'4
The Tipperary Vindicator contains the following :—" A
reporter from this establishment proceeded yesterday (Fri-
day) morning to Gorthore, between Nenagh and Limerick,
to witness the eviction of tenantry—or what is technically
called the execution of a "habere' —on the property of Mr.
Tuthill, where 120 men of the 72d Highlanders, under
Captain Pollard, 41 police, under the Sub•lnspector Lewis,
of Newport, and several bailiffs, went at an early hour. Our
reporter returned at five o'clock, P.M. He informs us that
nine poor families were evicted from their tenements.
The day was particularly wet, cold, and inclement,
more in fact like a mid-winter than a spring day. No re-
sistance was offered to the executioners of the law.
The people in the neighbourhood, be says, did not expect
the visit. Those who were present showed every courtesy
and kindness to the military officers and soldiers, who well
merited the hospitality manifested ley the poor cottiers, who
boiled eggs and gave what refreshment they had to them.
The men of the 72d seemed ashamed of this distressing duty.
" The names of the persons evicted were :—Patsick Mara,
4 in family; Patrick Clancy, 9 in family (who showed his
receipt to our reporter for his rent up to November); John
Fennell, 5 in family ; Denis Brien, 5 in family ; Pat
O'Brien, 5 in family; Patrick Clancy, 7 in family; William
Merbert, the amount of whose family our reporter was un-
able to ascertain, but supposes it to be at least 5. In all 39
persons.
" Our reporter says that it was generally stated that the
tenants had paid the rent up to May, 1845—but of this he
had no accurate knowledge. The fact, however, was that
Fennell, above-mentioned, had bank-notes for rent in his
hands, which were refused—and the day ended by the
tenants being put out, the doors of their cabins closed and
locked. Our reporter was informed that Mr. Tuthill has
fourteen evictions against fourteen other tenants. Our re-
porter heard it stated from Mara, above mentioned, that Mr.
Tuthill promised them possession again ; but this he does
not know of his own knowledge."

RE THE APPROACHING CHANGE IN THE CORN-LAWN.
—We have, in our journal of this evening, the opinion of a
gentleman, that necessarily will carry great weight with it,
in respect to the contemplated change in the corn-laws. 'We
allude to Mr. George Robins, who has taken an early oppor-
tunity to place his opinion upon record, in his announcement
of the Willenhall Hamlet, Manor, and Estate (near 800
acres) of first-rate land, near to the city of Coventry. This,
it will be perceived, shows in uNmistakeable terms not only
his opinion, but the reason that guides him to such a con-
clusion. In alluding to the safety of landed investments, he
enforces his feeling in the following strong and uNanswerable
terms :—" Hear it all those who incline to be dissatisfied with
landed investments, that there is not, nor has there been, an
arrear of one guinea during the last ten years;" and as it re-
gards the general prejudice that has too long existed in re-
spect of reduced rents, he pointedly rebukes this feeling by
the following quaint observation. He says, by way of con-
clusion, that it affords the writer very great satisfaction to
join in, and express a very concurrent opinion (and one that
has become an every day assertion now-a-days), that " THE
AGRICULTURAL COMMUNITY HAVE BEEN MUCH MORE
FRIGHTENED THAN HURT; a fact which will be demonstrated
past misapprehension in a few weeks." We shall watch Mr.
Robins's sales, and give to our readers the benefit of the
results.

POST-OFFICE NOTICE.—DETENTION OF MAILS.—
This morning the following notice was posted at the General Post-
office, St. Martin's.le-Grand :—" April 7, 1846.—The mails for
deira, Brazils, and Buenos Ayres, for this evening, will be detained.
Letters will be in time to-morrow evening."

some of the lots are extremely curious. There are several beauti
fully illuminated manuscripts and autographs ; among the latter is
one by Nell Gwynne, to a receipt for 2501., being for a quarter's
pension; one by Prince Rupert, Sir Isaac Newton, &c. The sale
consisted principally of books on architecture and architectural an-
tiquities, which sold for large sums.
Lord Frederick, Lady Augusta, and the lion. Miss
Fitzclarence, have left Etal House for the season. His Lordship has
for several months been suffering from a violent attack of gout, so
much so, that it was deemed advisable by his medical attendant to
remove him. Sir David Davies, together with an easy travel'ing-
carriage belonging to the Queen, were sent express to Etal last week
to convey the Noble Lord, by easy journeys, to town, whence lie
proceeds direct to Winbourne, Dorsetshire.
MUSICAL NEws.—A letter from Vienna informs us
that M. Liszt has given six concerts in that capital since the Ist of
March, and tkat the pianiste has likewise played before the Court,
and been presented by the Emperor with a rich diamond ring, with
his Imperial Majesty's cipher. The anniversary festival of the
Berlin Philharmonic Society took place in that capital on the 22d
nit., after a fine concert, at which Vieuxtemps and Mendelssohn
were in attendance. The Earl of Westmoreland honoured the
festival with his presence. A letter from Aix-la-Chapelle of
the 28th tilt. states that the 23d grand annual festival of the
Rhenish districts will be celebrated this year in that city. The
programme of the festival, at which 2,600 performers will as
sist, will solely consist of ancient works of ecclesiastical music. It
will last four days. The King and Queen of Prussia have promised
to be present at this festival, which will commence on Wednesday-,
the 29th of April. Paris letters inform us that it appears certain
that the engagement of Madame Eugenie Garcia with the director of
the opera is broken off, and she will be replaced by Rossi Cassia, who
has lately sung with so much success in Lisbon and London.
Madame Rossi Cassia will make her debut in the part of La Juive.
An opera in two acts, called L' Ame en Peine, will be produced in
Paris in a few days. Felicien David's new oratorio, Hoses on Mount
Sinai, has disappointad the expectations to which his ode-symphony
of The Desert had given rise, and has called some very unfavourable
criticism from the Parisian feuilletonaistes,

. Ihe lately-discovered manuscript of a
lost poem, by Ariosto, has been sold by the finder to the Library
at Ferrara, reserving to himself the right of publishing it within
iiva yeall.

PoSEN, MARCH 25.—The measures of precaution in this
cite, have been relaxed fir some time past. The number
of piquets reduced, and as we hear, orders given entirely
to suppress them, though without exposing the city to the
danger of an excess, which is still possible, but would cer-
tainly be soon suppressed. It is now also determined gra-
dually to withdraw the regiments that have been marched
into the Grand Duchy. Thus, then, the history of the con-
spiracy may be considered as so far terminated, yet we can-
not hope, after the experience of late years, that a satisfac-
tory state of things will be permanent, since the late events,
and the necessary arrests of nobles and clergy have excited
the hatred of the Poles to the Government and to the Ger-
mans, such as never was since the province belonged to
Russia. It is generally beiieved here that the King will lit
mercy take the place of justice, and will mitigate the penal-
ties incurred by the insurgents as much as possible.
MAKcit 27.—The Warsaw Gazette, received here to-day,
announces that the landowner Pantaleon Patoski was con-
demned to death, and that thesentence was executed, on the
17th cf this month, at Siedlee.

BRESLAW, MARCH 27.—0 n the 26th of this month the
sentence pronounced in the Criminal Court on Dr
Thenier's pamphlet, " The Reformirtorischen Bestrebungen
in du Kalolischen Kirclis ;" the sentence is that Dr. Theider
is not liable to punishment for the contents of this work--
that he shall be free from the costs, and that the sequestra-
tion of the work by the police shall be taken off.
ST. PETERSBUROH, MAucti 21.—His Majesty the Em-
peror set out late on Wednesday evening from St. Peters-
burgh for Moscow. His Majesty is accompanied by his
Aids-de-camp General Count Orloff and Van Adlerburg.
CnAcow, MARCH 27.—The Russian camp of 10,000 men
is near Miechow, in the kingdom of Poland, and a body of
10,000 men is posted in the frontiers of Gallacia, and another
of 10,000 men is to be stationed on the frontiers of Podolia,
in the district of Cracow, and in Cracow itself the Russians
are forming large magazines. The Russians are daily ex-
pected in Cracow.
