THE BRITISH AND FOREIGN

INSTITUTE.

The sixth soirée of the season was held last evening at the
rooms of the British and Foreign Institute, and was as fully
attended, by a large number of ladies and gentlemen, as on
any previous occasion. The musical performances of the
evening were of the usual varied and agreeable character,
and were well sustained throughout. Among the novelties
on the table was an interesting and valuable invention of
Mr. Loseby, for correcting, by an instrument in which mer-
cury was used as the chief agent, the inequalities in the rates
of chronometers, occasioned by those variations of tempera-
ture in different climates, by which the most accurate chro-
nometers are greatly affected. The opinion of the Astro-
nomer Royal in favour of this invention, has been conveyed
In the highest terms of praise to the Board of Longitude, and
was read at the meeting. Some beautiful specimens of a new
process for producing the effect of electro-gilding without the
use of gold were exhibited by Messrs. Sedge ick and Taylor,
of Piecadillv, which were greatly admired. By this method
the surface of brass can be wrought up to a degree of finish
so exactly resembling gold, that the most experienced eve
could not detect the difference—and in one of the candelabra
shown, the lower half was plated with real gold in the usual
mode, and the upper half finished without a particle of gold
or gilding, yet no one could determine where the one process
ended or the other began. In addition to the richness of the
effect, this invention has the further advantage of
much greater freedom from tarnish than ordinary gilding,
and can be produced at a saving of 700 per
cent. Among the foreign visitors present was a Chinese
gentleman, Woo-tan-jin, from the heart of the Celestial
Empire, who had travelled with Mr. Milne, the learned and
accomplished missionary, himself a native of China, though
of British parents, through the greatest portion of the
" flowery land," and had since accompanied him on a tour
through England and Scotland. He is about to return to his
native country in a few weeks, with Mr. Milne, and from
the impressions he seems to have received during his stay m
England, he will tie doubt convey to his countrymen very
favourable ideas of the people, as well as of the arts andbmeean-
nufactures of the " outer barbarians,"
hitherto called in China. There was also present
the feather

was altogether one of much interest and variety, and ap-

GERMAN PAPERS.

T

BERNE, MARCH 19.—The Council of the Constitution cons s-
pleted the order of the proceedings on the 18th of March. A •
special committee of seven of its members will draw up the
scheme of the new constitution, the Council in the mean
while suspending its sittings.
WESTERN PRUSSIA, MARCH 17.—Several of the ROM=
Catholics in this quarter having, either of their individual
motion, or as active participators in the late conspiracy,
been guilty of offending against the laws, although their
flocks resisted their attempts to seduce them, the Bishops
of their dioceses have Intimated their indignation at
this their unjustifiable conduct, and have earnestlg-
admonished the clergy of their diocese to observe
inviolably their duties as faithful subjects, and to call upon
their flocks to adhere with fiaelity to their allegiance. Ekes
Pope has also addressed the Bishop Kulon, expressing his
grief at the disloyalty of the priests in question, and direct-•
ing the Bishop to admonish his clergy severely to abstain
from prostituting their office to so disgraceful a purpose.
BADEN, MARCH 'AL—The Grand Duke has directed that
a sum of 3'1,000 greddens, or about. 1,4001., should be laid ou t
in the purchase of seed potatoes, either within the Gran d
Duchy or in foreign parts, in order that they may be sold a t
a moderate pike to the growers in that district where there
is a .'eartli of them. The Agricultural Association has been
charged with carrying this order into effect.
ST. PRTERSBURGH, MARCH 17.—1 t appears from a report
of the Field Marshal the Prince of Warsaw, that the only
Russian troops remaining in quarters at Cracow, are two
battalions of light infantry, and 150 Cossacks of the line. A
long return is made of the time consumed by the several de-
tachments (ordered to Cracow, on news being received of the
outbreak of the late insurrection) in moving from their
respective states to the scene of the revolt,
The artillery accomplished 146 miles in seven days, the
distance from Warsaw to Cracow, 190 miles, in six days.
LE3IIIURG, MARCH 13.—At seven o'clock this morning
Weseznivoki and E. Dembosski, the leaders of the late
insurrection, were brought into this towns in chains.
The former is said to have headed the attack
on the troops at Narioff on the nig tit of the
21st of February, when two cadets were killflad and two
wounded. The Government had sat api ice of: a thousand
florins on each of these leaders heads. The r award in the
case of Weseznivoki falls to the lot of ter 'o country-
men, who discovered him lying upon a. haystack,
and delivered him on suspicion to the dis trict au-
thorities. He was disguised in a priest's. garment,
had cut off his whiskers and mustac b 'los, and
shaved his head behind. He said his name was 1; epzc asski,
and that he had fled out of Poland for the purpose of 'escaping
persecution on account of his religion. It is expectet 1 that the
capture of these chiefs will lead to important rave tat ions with
regard to whole conspiracy.
AUGSBURGH, MARCH 24.—The parties who light the
city of Stuttgart with gas have contracted to ;light this
city also. It will be the first town.
BADEN, Mulct' 21.—As the Roman Catholic r rd. rty, who
form a majority of the population, decline to su tp'port the
ministerial candidates at the present elections, ai fel equal!),

decline to coalece with the Radical party, it is aim t certain
that the Ministry will be baffled in the object which , they had
in view, when they advised the Grand Duke to. dissolve
the Chambers, and consequently a triumph -for the
Liberal and Radical party begins to be antici-
pated. In this case the Ministerial opposition ks likely
to be as all powerful in the new Legislature as in tl to t which
has been lately dissolved.
PERTH, MARCH 18.—The Polish insurrection havit ig been
so completely put dom., not only has the march of troops
from this country ceased, but those dispatched into A Galicia
are returning to their quarters. We can :confidently - state
that neither Prince Sapecha nor any Of his I amily
were in the remotest degree connected with the suppressed
revolutionary movement. The short-lived D ictator It; de•
scribed to have been destitute of energy as well' as clipacity.
He took the degree of Doctor of Laws at Limber, q, tr nd after-
wards was manager of an estate ; chance onl) • brew the
ephemeral dictatorship into his hands. He har, u igued the
populace once during his short sway, but a ,as very
active in wielding his pen and writing for tt le public
journals. The populace took'no notice of him wh est he rode
abroad. His right hand man was Dewbasski, his ,secretary,
an individual of considerable oratorical talents.

INDIAN CORN.
DISTRESS OF THE PEOPLE.
The Poor Relief Committee having purchased s 1 certain
quantity of Indian corn, and having appointed con ah 1 depots
for its sale, it was announced that the sale would nmence
on Saturday last.
Many people supposed that it would not be bougl at up, and
all were interested in the result of the experim The
price fixed on it was one penny per pound. The::result of
the day's sale is sufficient to dissipate all further d tocibt, and
to demand the most serious attention of the citizen s o f Cork.
No sooner were the doors opened than the rush to pt•ot :ure the
corn meal was tremendous. We understand that th'e utmost
excitement, almost frantic, prevailed during the day, ; and it
was only by the ceaseless efforts of a number of poi ice that
order or regularity could be preserved. The avidie the
people to procure a novel description of food is the ra ost con-
clusive evidence of the misery to which bad food arc 1 famine
prices have reduced them. The Irisb, of ea' people in the
world, are the least addicted to change, vspeciall y in an
article of diet; and when such a spectacle as that a f Satur-
day last is presented, be sure that there is d ire n.ee:essity as
the inducing cause of the ready and anxious c 'ban, ge.
We understand that 4,480 lbs. of the corn n 'teal were sold
on Saturday at ld. per lb.
The Committee waited this morning on Mr. at% ritson, t°
grant .them a further supply, they of course off. Ili leg to 11
the full price for it ; but Mr. Hewitson was c en spelled t
refuse the request, he having no orders from this Goverxr
went to that effect.
The people, supposing that the supply would e continued'
assembled in hundreds round the depths ; but w we inforniv,
of the fact of there being no more fur sale. t lansiderable
excitement was occasioned by the announceme at, and the
Mayor, fearing that disturbance might arise in c wnsequencel
published a public notice stating that when the o -der, which
was daily expected, would arrive, further supplit •• would be
distributed.—Cork Examiner.
