aid FLAKDEIiS MAIL.

WARSAW, MAY 21.-='-Great ntiniberS Of the
ants daily flock to the deli htftil Laiiensiti palace, to see
the Ediperor. His Majesty is very well. By his order,
the police are kept as distant as possible, and we have
seen his Majesty walk through the streets saluting the
public, who crowded the streets. He had no attendants
whatever, not even a single aide-de-camp. He wore
an ordinary military great coat) with a general's epau-
lettes, and a helmet oh his head. The Empress and the'
Princess Olga are expected IR a feW days. The Duke
of Oldenburg and flutily left on Friday to proceed on
their return to St. Petersburgh.
POLISH FRONTIERS, MAY 2C—However great the
distress in the country in general is, the ac-
counts from Poland exceed everything. Entire
villages are abandoned, their former inhabitants,
with their wives and children, wandering in
swarms of beggars, about the country to the town ; but
here they found little to relieve their hunger, for the
calamity is general in the towns as well as in the coun-
try. It is difficult to imagine where the distress of these
poor people will cease, because many of the fields lie
waste, for want of seed, corn, and potatoes. Besides
the scarcity and the constantly increasing price of pro-
visions in the kingdom of Poland, all trade is in a state
of stagnation. The numberless arrests, sometimes of
whole families, especially among the noble landholders,
the difficulties which the rigorous measures of the police
throw in the way of travelling, not only to foreign
countries, but even in the interior, the decline of credit,
altogether has such an effect on trade as has scarcely
been known since the revolution in 1820. The nobles
live iu the strictest seclusion on- their estates, and avoid
visits to friends and even relations; they do not even ven-
ture to relieve the distress of their vassals for fear of being
suspected of seeking to make themselves papular. It is
difficult to describe the despondency and uneasiness of
the noble families. When they separate in the evening,
it is like parting for ever, for they know not whether
all the members of the family will meet in the morning,
since the arrests continuo, and the slightest imprudence
in word or deed may cause them to be denounced, and
led to banishment or a long imprisonment.
POSEN, MAY 28.—The arrests continue. Our Polish
Catholic Gymnasium, which was lately " purified," and
has but lately been re-established, was yesterday de-
prived of five of its pupils, who were arrested. It is
hoped that the young men are not seriously implicated,
and that they will be set at liberty. Extraordinary sen-
sation is caused by the following notice.
" M. Karzowski, merchant, of this town, propogator
of the malicious reprt, that the commander of the let
battalion at Lund wher hail invited the men to act like
thy, peasants in Galicia, towards the political conspirators
in th,Pse provinces (that is, excited them to robbery and
murder), is under legal prosecution, of which public no-
tice is hereby given.
"Posen, May 26, 1846."

BERLIN, MAY 31.—The Empress of Russia having
had an interview with her two brothers, the Prince of
Prussia and Prince Albert, and her sister, Princess
Frederick of the Netherlands, left Prague on Friday,
apparently in good health and spirits, and proceeded on
her journey, by way of Cracow. The Prince of Prussia
accompanies her Majesty to Warsaw.
ST. PETERSEURGH, MAY 26.—Accounts have been
received from the Caucasus, of an incursion made by
Schamyl with 15,000 or 20,000 men, into Kabardei, and
of his precipitate retreat. The enemy suffered consider-
able loss; that of the liussians is stated at only 200 men.
—Haniburgh Papers, June 5.
BRUSSELS, JUNE 6.—The Senate, which met to day, ap-
pointed two Committies to examine some projects of law re-
specting the budget of the Departitent of the interior, the
canal of Deynzed, and the importation of corn. It then
closed the general debate on the project of law, modifying
articles 331 to 350 of the penal code; and fixed the discussion
of the articles for to morrow in a secret Committee. The
Chamber of Representatives discussed and agreed to the pro-
ject of law for a supplementary vote of credit for 80,000 f.
for the service of the mint, and a credit of 39,518 f. for the
budget of foreign affairs for 1845.
The Minister for Foreign Affairs announced that he
should probably present to-morrow, the first of the report of
M. Blondell, on the Colony of St. Thomas.
The presentation of the amendments of the law of 1834,
education (renseignement moyen), has produced two different
effects in the mrnds of the members of the Chamber—sur-
prise in some, embarrassment in others. For our part, we
the (C'ourrier Beige), cannot but be satisfied with them.
BuussEus, JUNE s.—The Minister of Public Works pre-
sented at the opening of the sitting to-day a project of
law for granting 40,000 francs for the fetes on opening
the Belgium and French Railways. The Chamber then pro-
ceeded to the debate on the project of law, relative to the
railroad from Luxemburgh.
The Senate had but a short public sitting. The Marquis
of Rhodes brought up the report on the project of law, pro-
longing the law of 24th of September, relative to the impor-
tation of provisions.
The Senate then formed a Secret Committee, to discuss the
modification of articles 331-335 of the penal code. After a
short debate the sitting was again public, and the project of
law was agreed to unanimously by the 31 Members present.
It then opened and closed the discussion on the projects of
law, definitively regulating the budget of the years 1833,

1834, to 1835.
The King and Queen set out to-day (6th June), for Paris.

DUTCH MAIL.

THE HAGUE, JUNE 3.—The last overland mail brings
accounts from Java to the Ist of April. In the district
of Koeningen, in the Residence of Cheubon, an extensive
bed of coal has been discovered, which is stated to be of
the best quality. It was intended to make a trial of it
in her Majesty's steam- boats. Inundations occurred by
breakers in the dykes on the banks of the river Kediri,
had done g-rcat injury to the river plantations in the
Residence of Sorabaye On the 23d February a dreadful
huricane occurred, which destroyed many dwellings of
the natives, besides a number of fruit trees in the dis-
tricts of Peckalingur. In the night of the 14th of
February, three native trading vessels were attacked
between Bangocsangs and Fyottck, by a well-manned
and well-armed piratical vessel ; one of the three vessels
escaped by flight, the two others, after an engagement, in
which they lost fifteen men, were abandoned by the re-
mainder.
The newly-appointed Governor of Borneo is to go as
soon as possible to that island, principally to regulate the
working of the coal mines, which is already begun in the
district of Banjee. Some of the inhabitants of the island
of Billiton were condemned to death, and other severe
punishments, for plundering a Chinese vessel, wrecked
near that island in Feb., 1844, and murdering the crew
Some Chinese bad effected a landing in the district of
Moekakoeneny, and after they had plundered and burnt
some habitations, returned to Singapore. Twenty
Chinese of that district, suspected of being concerned in
these excesses, had also fled to Singapore. An applica-
tion of the resident of Riouw to the British authorities
at Singapore, to deliver up the guilty, was fruitless.
LIENWARDEN, JUNE I.—We are sorry to state that
the potatoes in this district appear to be infested with the
same disease as last year.

ROYAL HOSPITAL, CHELSEA.—On Saturday, a meet-
ing of the committee and subscribers to the Building Fund of
the new Hospital for Consumption and Diseases of the Cheat,
now in the course of erection at Brompton, took place at
Chelsea for the transaction of business relative to the forth-
coming bazaar, held by permission of Sir Edward Paget in
the gardens of the Royal Hospital. It was stated that the
efforts made were on the most extensive and magnificent
scale, and a hope was expressed that all who were favouring
the institution with work, &c., for the various stalls, would
forward them as speedily as might be found convenient.

TIATAS AND IVASII-HOVSES.
It seems strange that among the innumerable institu-
tions for the benefit of the poorer Classes in this countryj
none should, until lately, have been projected for the
promotion of cleanliness ; and in this respect the meiru-
polis is more backward• than other towns in the king:

iny establishment
is in active operation in that
town with the greatest success, whilst in London not one
establishment of the kind is as yet completed. Several
are, however, projected, and in the course of erection,
and the one in the liampstead road, for the north-western
district of London is so nearly completed, that if the
requisite funds are obtained, it may be in full operation
at the beginning of next month. This establishment
has been singularly favoured in obtaining its site, round
the base of the New River Company's reservoir, at a
nominal rent, and also in having among its leading
Committee-men gentlemen of practical knowledge and
indefatigable industry. It consists of forty private baths
of differents kinds, besides two plunging baths, and of
sixty washing-tubs, divided from each other, with every
possible accommodation for drying, mangling, and iron-
ing the clothes. Each washing compartment consists of
two tubs, which will be supplied with hot and cold water
from pipes and taps, and a steam-pipe descends to the
bottom of one of the two tubs, for the purpose of
boiling the clothes after they have been washed. The
drying department consists of a rotatory apparatus for
expelling the water from the heavier articles by centri-
fugal force, without the necessity of wringing the clothes.
There are, also, several drying closets, excellently con-
trieved for drying the smaller a: tides, by means of
currents of hot air. In the ironing department there is
a hot stove for heating the irons ; there are mangles,
and every other convenience for finishing the work.
When in operation the charge for the use of these con-
veniences, for three hours, will be only one penny, and
that time it is supposed would be ample to allow of the
completion of the ordinary week's washing of a small
family, as there would be no time lost in waiting for hot
water, nor for the drying of the clothes.
The private baths are fitted up with every conveni-
ence for hot or for cold bathing, and some of the rooms
are sufficiently large for a woman and several small
children to bathe at the same time, for which no addi-
tional charge will be made. The price of an ordinary
cold bath, with the use of a towel, will be one penny ;
for those provided with rather superior accommodation,
twopence ; and there are a few to be fitted up in a
still better manner, for which tl•.e charge will be six-
pence. When a hot or tepid bath is required, these
prices will be doubled. There are also, in a separate
willo the building,
compartment shower
baths
,whic hfittedbu i ld iunp ,
withve e
ver3, vapourregard and
com-
fort, the charge for which will be one shilling, As the
chief object of the Institution, however, is to benefit the
poorer classes, vapour and shower baths will be provided
or them at a much lower cost.

The building is arranged with great convenience,
around the base of the reservoir in the Hampstead-road,
the entrance to the baths being in George-street, in the
New- road. It forms nearly three sides of a square, and
is 900 feet in length, the greater proportion being occu
pied by the washing department, which is kept distinct
rom the baths ; and the baths for the men and those
for the women are also in separate divisions of the build-
ing. Nothing, in fact, could be better arranged for the
various purposes of the establishment; and, if we are cor-
rectly informed, the whole has been done at an outlay of
not more than 4,0001. The plunging baths are not yet
completed, but they are expected to be finished before the
end of next week. They will be roofed over, and provided
with separate dressing boxes. One of these baths
will be 60 feet long and 20 wide; the other 38 feet by 18,
and the charges will be 2d. for one and 6d for the other.
The hot water and steam for the washing tubs and baths
will be supplied from large boilers, which, with the fur-
naces, are quite completed. At the end of next week all
the fittings of the pipes, it is expected, will be finished,
so that the water may be let on, and the effect of the
apparatus tried. The establishment will then be opened
in working order for inspection for a fortnight, and if the
contributions from the visitors be sufficiently ample to
justify the committee in commencing operations, the
baths and wash-houses of the north-western district of
London will be opened in the first week in July.

DESECRATION OF A ROMAN CA-
THOLIC CHAPEL.—EXTRAORDINARY CASE.
(From the Cork Examiner.)
Extraordinary excitement was occasioned in the town
of Bandon yesterday (Sunday) morning by its having
become known that the body of a female infant had
been foiled in the gallery of Kilbrogan parish Chapel.
This building, which stands a little outside the town
near the old Cork road, and on the ground formerly oc-
cupied by the ancient parish church, before the present
building had been erected within the town by the first
Earl of Cork, is not usually opened for service on
Sunday until about 10 o'clock, in consequence of that
duty being performed at an early hour in the adjoining ,
parish chapel. A woman, whose duty it was to clean
this chapel, on entering yesterday morning, found the
body, as will appear in the evidence. The police having
been communicated with, Head-constable Wright was
soon upon the spot, and in the afternoon an inquest was
held before Franklin Baldwin, Esq., coroner, and the
following jury.
Andrew Moore, Abraham Isaac, Daniel Dineen, Pa-
trick Murphy, Wm. Morgan, Wm. Lovell, Andrew Des-
mond, Cornelius Keeffe, Terence M'Carthy, Denis
O'Leary, Timothy Donovan, and Mathew Cummins.
The first witness examined was Ellen Walsh, who
being sworn, deposed that she is employed in keeping
Kilbrog n Chapel clean—she went into the chapel this
morning about six o'clock, when she found the body of
the infant now before the jury covered with a whits
linen cloth, an a form in the gallery—no window or
windows were open and the doors were locked—does not
know who put the child there, nor that any one lately
had a child in the neighbourhood—does not know of any
being buried in the yard for the week—was not in the
chapel since this day week—does not know of any
other person having been there—went into the gallery
to dust it—did not see any one about the place lately,
and witness was not about the place since last Sunday.
Peter Crawley sworn—Keeps the keys of the chapel,
and has had them in his possession for thirty years ;
had them during the last week ; locked the chapel doors
this day week, and is sure the body was not there then ;
the keys were not out of his possession during the week;
he did not himself go to the chapel during that time, nor
give the keys to any one to do so—nor saw any of the
windows open; don't know of any child being buried
during the week ; the people go to him when the
keys are wanted. No persons were watching in the
church-yard since Mr. Donohue was buried ; did not
hear any one suspected of having had a child in the
neighbourhood ; the woman got the keys from him at
six o'clock this morning ; there was no fastening to the
windows, and they could be easily opened from the out-
side ; did not see any one about the place during the
week.

John Desmond sworn—His house adjoins the chapel
yard ; don't know of any child being brought into the
chapel yard this week ; nor did he see any strangers
about during that time by night or day. Does not keep
dogs ; don't hear any noise about the yard during the
week, nor of any woman having bad a child, or being

in the family way.
Thomas Wright sworn—ls head constable of police,
and of the Bandon station ; got information this morn-
ing that a child was found in Kilbrogan Chapel ; accom-
panied the clerk to the chapel ; found the body of the
infant now before the jury, lying on a form in the gal-
lery on its back, with a white linen cloth over it ; lifted
the cloth and found a cut extending from the upper part
of the chest down the body ; some, but but not much
blood under the head on the form ; searched generally
for blood marks through the chapel, but found none ;
examined the lower windows of the chapel, but which are
about two and a half feet from the ground ; they could
be easily lifted ; found no trace of any person having
forced in ; searched the chapel yard to try if a grave had
been recently opened, and found only one which had
apparently been opened for an infant, and lightly
covered with sods. _ _ .

Jokn Magrath, M.D., sworn—Examined the body of
a female child which the jury had received ; found a
long incision made by a cutting instrument exactly
from the upper part of the chest to the
lower part of the abdomen, laying bare the
intestines ; the intestines were not injured, but
in their natural position ; the back part of the head
was knocked and broken to pieces, and half of the
brains out. The navel cord was tied in the regular
way and of the usual length—opened the chest and exa-
mined the lungs (which were not previously opened).
From the principal physical marks he is of opinion that
it was born dead. The lungs sunk immediately when
put into water. No trace of air in them, which would
be the natural consequence if the child had ever breathed.

The marks are not those which would be caused by a

was taken into the chapel.

ATTEMPT TO MURDER AT TONBRIDGE WELLS.--
At the Tonbridge Petty Sessions on Monday last, Thomas Chessman,a
waiter at the Camden Hotel, was charged with cutting the
oat
of a fellow servant named Frances Sanders, with intent to destroy
sestroy
life. It appeared that the prisoner was desirous of paying
ad-
dresses to the young woman, but as she rejected
cut her throat, or
them, he frequently
vowed that if she would not have him, he
employ other means to kill her. On Sunday would
afternoon he saw her
walking with her favoured lover through some fields near the town,
and he immediately followed her, and pulling out of his pocket a
clasp knife, began to sharpen it upon a stone, saying, that if she did
not leave the arm of the young man, and walk with him, he would
cut her throat. She, however, as well as the young man she
was walking with thought that the prisoner was merely holding
out some idle threats which he never meant to put in execution, and
therefore they walked on and took little or no notice of him. He,
however, continued to follow them, and at length lie made a rush at
the female and cut her throat. Dr. R. H. Powell, surgeon, who was
immediately sent for to attend the female, stated that the wound
was five inches in length, on the left side of the throat. It was a
ragged incision, and extended from below upwards, and from behind
forwards. It had nearly severed the jugular vein, but the carotid
artery had very narrowly escaped, in consequence of the edge of the
knife not being straight. He added, that it would be extremely
dangerous for the young woman to be removed at present for the
purpose of giving evidenoe. The prisoner was remanded for a week.

nual meeting of this society was held yesterday, at their rooms in
