TUE MILITARY COUNCIL-POLAND.

It is not for us to presume how far the lately revived
question of the restoration of Poland may enter into the
deliberations of the Military Conference at Paris, but
should the marching of an allied army into that country
appear conformable with the tactics of the next campaign
it is to be hoped the Governments will not neglect the
opportunity. Both France and England are morally
pledged to the attempt to rescue this territory from the
iron rule of Muscovite dominion. The Courts ofStockholni
and Copenhagen joined with those of Paris and London
in remonstrating /against the first partition in 177'2.
Napoleon held out great promises to the Poles when he
required their aid against Austria, Prussia, and Russia;
but, whether intentional or not on his part, those pro-
mises were never realised. That powerful and civilised
nations like France and England should permit the
great crimes which were perpetrated by Russia and
Prussia in partitioning Poland, first in 1772 and then
in 1794, is not only a reproach from which they will
never be able to vindicate themselves, but a mistake,
the bitter consequences of which both countries are now
experiencing in the expenditure of treasure and blood,
required to repel the audacious aggressor in another
quarter. Of the Imperial and Royal robbers concerned
in the spoliation, Austria is probably the least culpable.
The plan had been consummated between Berlin and
Russia, without reference to Austria, in the first in-
stance ; but the latter power, indignant that she was
considered unworthy of being consulted, insisted on a
share of the spoil, and was contented with a very small
one.
The excuse of the Governments in 1794, that they
were too much concerned with questions involving their
own safety, could not be adduced in 1830, when the
brutality and butcheries of Constantine drove the Poles
to insurrection, which resulted in the suppression of that
Constitution which the Emperor Alexander, at the Con-
gress of Yienna, solemnly pledged himself to maintain.
Again were the unfortunate Poles flattered and deceived.
The House of Commons, the press, the platforms, and
the pulpits of England ; the Legislature and public as.
semblies, and the organs of opinion in the United States;
the Chamber of Deputies, the Press, and the public of
France joined in one shout of indignation against those
atrocities, and the audacious violation of the public law
of Europe. The oppressed Poles hoped for succour, but
hoped in vain. It was now, as Kosciusko of imperishable
renown, declared fully 30 years before—Finis Polonia !
While patriots declaimed, the Governments connived,
shrinking from a duty they owed alike to the nations
they represented and to humanity. The error is one
which they have had cause to lament. If the attempt
is not now hopeless, it is obvious that a more favourable
opportunity than the present—when France and Eng-
land are agreed upon its policy—may never again oc-
cur. The cause is worthy of the effort. -Until a physi-
cal barrier is again raised against Muscovite ambition,
the Western nations can neither hope for peace nor secu-
rity.—Morning Advertiscr.

ASSISTANT-JUDGESHIP AT MIDDLESEX
SESSIONS.

Wo understand that the Assistant-Judgeship at Mid-
dlesex Sessions, vacant by the death of Mr. Sergeant
Adams, is in the gift of the Secretary of State for the
Home Department. The duties of the Judge are not
only to try the prisoners committed to the Sessions, but
also to hear parish appeals, which frequently involve
difficult questions of law.
it has been stated that Mr. Bodkin and Mr. Prender-
gast, Q.C., are likely to have the appointment offered
to them. Both these gentlemen are in every way quali.
fied, but it is thought that neither would be anxious for
the appointment. Mr. Bodkin is ambitious of a seat
in the House of Commons, he being at the present
moment a candidate to represent Rochester on the Tory
and by the
.Act ot. Parliament establishing
interest ;
the Assistant-Judgeship, it is provided that he shall
not sit in Parliament. Mr. Prendergast, it is thought,
would not accept this office, since it would disqualify
him for the City Judicial Office he is now a candidate
for. Mr. Pashley, Q.C., is also mentioned as a fit per.
son for the appointment.

SHIPBUILDING AT LIVERPOOL.—The number of ships
built and launched at Liverpool during 1855 was 40,
having a tonnage equal to 14,474 tons. Of these 17
were of wood, equal t• 2,614 tons ; and 2Z; of iron
equal to 11,860 tons. The above includes only those
vessels which were of considerable and large tonnage.

_of th premises Dran,chuter Guardian, •

In a letter from an officer of one of our steam-
transports, dated Dec. 28, off Eupatoria, there aro
the following passages :
It may be of interest to you to learn that about 8,000
Egyptian troops were conveyed from this place to Trehi-
zonde by the Sirnoom, Jason, and several other steamer:;.
The French General at this place was opposed to the
shifting of the Egyptians, but has had to yield to it, and
is now receiving reinforcements of French troops.
" When we landed the first batch at Trobizonde Kars
had already been reduced ; and, as neither house-room
nor provisions abound at Trebizonde, no ens profits by
this movement ; indeed, the Pasha of Trebizoude turned
a great number of Christians out of their houses, the Ar-
menian Bishop among them, to make room for the
Egyptians.
" I spoke to Ahmed Pasha, of Eupatoria, on this heart-
less and dangerous measure, and he told me that he did
not approve the shifting of the troops at this season ;
they ought to have been conveyed four or five mouths
ago, or to have remained here until the spring.
" The Pasha:spsaks French and German, is a business
sia,n, and one of the few Turks of whom one takes leave
with regret and esteem. He told me that the French never
give bun any information, and all that he knows about
the movements of the war he learns from the English,
as he very rarely gets letters from Constantinople.
" People here are well provided with wood and provi-
sions. Several ships were wrecked here lately, the Prns-
,ian bark Potsdam, in Turkish employ, among the Dura-
-1 ber.
"The Castle of Sinope is a dtef d'ceuvre of middle-age
architecture ; it is a pity that it is allowed to go to
wreck and ruin.
"I dare say you will have heard that many hundreds
of camels and cattle are dying daily at Sinope, though
they are taken great care of by the English clmrnissa-
riat people.
It is likely that we shall have to go for another
batch to Eupatoria for Trebizonde, and then we exnect
to be a Saturday ship,"

Mr. SNOW charged Mr. Dickinson with advocating
measures to the disadvantage of the shareholders. It
was true that Mr. Dickinson was not a shareholder in the
Great Western Railway, but he had a large family inte-
rest in that line. Mr. Dickinson, notwithstanding his
opposition to the board, had lately increased his stake
iu this railway by 2,0001. (Hear, hear.)
Mr. DICKINSON denied it.
On examining the transfer•book the norease was
found to have taken place in April, 1855.
Mr. EAGLESFIELD moved another amendment,
calling upon Parliament to allow them to proceed
with the extension at such time as circumstances would
enable them to do it without loss to the South-Western
shareholders.
Mr. PUNCHARD seconded it.

" Rugeley, Sept. 27, 1855.
"Dear Agnes,--I hope the change of air and scenery
has, by this time, done you good, and that you are more
quiet and reconciled than when I communicated to you
the painful, the sorrowful, news of the death of poor
dear Walter. Ab, poor fellow, I often think of him, and
only wish I could have done now for him that I did
while he was alive; and, I assure you, I did a very, verb
great deal for him—perhaps, a great deal more than
you are aware of.
"I know not whether Walter told you that I had ad-
vanced him on the 'drawing (room) furniture 851.--of
course, I was aware that some of it belonged to you, but
he, poor fellow, told me that you would repay me the
I""Y—which I feel cure you will after I have told you
-- and I shall have much pleasure in sending it to your
orders. There was also one other item you must, if you
please, rtie,ist me to—viz., 401. for a bill, which you knew
well of the circumstance, and I must be excused going
into particulars. This amount I should not ask you for,
but Walter said if I would only take up the bill you
would pay me, and I feel sure you will after all the
money I have before paid. I have received bills amount- ,
ing to 2001., which, I suppose, must ho paid by some
one. What say you to this ? You can't for one single
moment think but that I ought to have assistance from
some one, and I crave yours, because I feel certain that
poor Walter must have told you how very, very often,
and on very many occasions, I had stood his friend ; and
I believe I and his dear mother (except yourself) were
the only friends he had on earth. I only wish his career
through life had been a different one; be might have
bees alive but, poor fellow, he is dead and buried, and

No CALENDAR AND AN EMPTY GAOL.—At the Epi-
phany Quarter Sessions, held at Rye, on Thursday, there
were no prisoners for trial. Jessup, the chief officer,
also informed us (Sussex Advertiser) that the gaol was
empty.
THE LATE CASE OF SUSPECTED POISONING AT DEVON-
poRp.--It will be recollected that Mr. John Hallett, a
quack doctor at Devcnport, was last week committed
for trial at the next Devon assizes, charged with man-
slaughter, such being the verdict of the jury who in-
quired into the cause of the death of Louisa Mitchell, a
woman who bad long cohabited with Hallett. Informa-
tion has now been received of the death of Hallett him-
self, wbo expired in the county gaol a few days after his
committal. The evidence at the inquest on the remains
of the woman Mitchell failed to sustain the suspicion
which previously exited that she had been poisoned, but
the jury returned a verdict of manslaughter, in the belief
that she had not been properly treated by Hallett during
the ilineid which preceded her death.

Mr. CASTLEMAIN explained his change of opinion from
the coast line to the central line, and acquitted the chair-
man of any personal interest over that of any other
shareholder in advocating the latter.
The CHAIRMAN put the amendment, which was lost
by a large majority, as was that of Mr. Eaglefield's.
Mr. GASKELL moved, and Mr. DICKINSON seconded,
on amendment that the extension should be from Dor-
chester to Exeter, and not from Yeovil to Exeter, which
was negatived
A third amendment wa7 moved, but lost, and the
original resolution carried, confirming the central line.
A poll was granted.
The meeting then separated.

"Three new Senators," says the Siccle, "are shortly,
it is said, to be named. The Duke de Maille, the Duke
da 17almy, and the Marquis de Bethisy ire mentioned
any the persona are to be nominated."

IMPORTANT DISCOVERY.—THE PAPER TRADE.—We
have heard with much pleasure that Mr. W. G. Plun-
kett, son of Mr. Plunkett, of Boyle, and J. C. Bower,
Esq., C.E., have obtained a patent for the manufacture
of paper and textile fabrics from the following plants—
viz., the yellow iris, or common flogger, the burdock,
the coltefoot, and from the leaves and stems of red and
white beet, and mangold wurtzel ; also from the stems of
Swedish, Aberdeen, and other turnip bulbs. We have
seen specimens of paper and millboard manufacturdd by
hand from several of the foregoing plants, and of fibre
from the iris or yellow flogger, which appears to have
all the properties of the host flax. The iris contains a
large proportion—at least 75 per cent.--of paper ma-
terial.—Boyle Gazette.
THE RIGHT OF WAY THROUGH BARTHOLOMEW'S 110 S•
PlTAL.—Yesterday, at a Court of Aldermen, it was
stated that the governors of St. Bartholomew's Hospital
had affixed placards on the gates notifying that persons
a ould not he permitted to pass through the hospital now
that the cattle market has ceased to be held in Smith-
field, and that the public were thereby deprived of a
thoroughfare to which they had heretofore been accus-
tomed. Alderman Sidney said he should very much
deplore if the members of that court, sitting there in
their re:,resentative character as the guardians of the
euhlic highways of the City, should allow an ancient
way, like. the one referred to, to be stopped up on such
insufficient evidence as, it seemed, had been adduced by
the solicitor of the hospital. After a brief discussion,
the matter was referred to the General Purposes Commit-
tee, with power to instruct the City solicitor to take the
opinion of (masa
