GERMAN PAPERS.

WARSAW, MAY 19.—The Alloenzeine Zeilung of th 4
9th of May contains an article, dated from the Polish fron-
tiers respecting the National Deputation sent to St. Peters--
burgh, which requires the notice of a Pole. The custom
of voluntarily returning thanks for benefits received is not
now, at least here, and has not so fallen into disuse among
IN as to be considered as an affront. After passing five
months in a state of anxious expectation respecting our
future fate, every inhabitant of Poland felt and acknow-
ledged the benefit that he received in the organic statute;
foreigners may judge of it as they please. On this ac-
count no single person or family can be menaced as the
author of that Deputation (though M. Luhien.kio, Prince
Rodzivill, and others were very active in it), for all the
Poles knew what their duty demanded in such a case.
'there was no need of impressing it on them by a military
command. The Prince Governor-General was requested to
solicit the Emperor's permission to send a National Deputa-
tion to. St. Petershurgh. The Prince consented to use his in-
terest on this occasion with that sincere joy and readiness
which he always manifests when any good end is to be at-
tlinee. It is tolis care we are indebted for the preservation of
Warsaw from plunder, and for the rapid and astonishing
restmatian of toiler in that unfortunate country. To his
intervention we are indebted to the amnesty, and for the
advantages granted us in the organic statute. With re-
.spect to the details given in the article alluded to, they
would deserve no answer, were it not necessary to unde-
ceive foreign countries. A few words will suffice. In
the old palace of the Kings of Poland there is not a single
ante-room that is not properly furnished. That the Prince
made the deputation wait two hours, and then gave his
orders like a commanding officer ; and that he addressed
some harsh words to Prince Radzivill in particular, we
must, conformably with honour, truth, and conscience,
publicly declare to be absolute falsehood and fiction. The
deputation, and Prince Radzivill in particular, will them-
selve9 answer on their return ; they are hound to do so
by respect for the nation, whose deputies they were.
VIFNNA, MAY 24.—The Duchess of Anhalt Kdethen
has arrived here from Rome, and the Duchess of Lucca is
gone to Turin. 51. Baron Von Falkenstein, Chamber-
lain to the Grand Duke of Baden, who was here on a spe-
cial mission, bas returned to Carlsrnhe. Twelve batta-
lions of infantry and two regiMents of cavalry are on
their march from Galicia to Styria. An English courier
brought the news of Lord Grey's return to the Adminis-
tration. The funds rose in- consequence. We are in great
anxiety about the issue of the Reform question in England,
and fea that there will be great dissentions in that
country.

It is very confidently affirmed that the Duchess of Berri
is now in France. Many members of the diplomatic
body are preparing to quit Vienna on leave of absence,
which is an arrangement for the probab!e continuance of
peace, and of the existing state of things.
Several Austrian regiments are to be assembled on the
frontiers of Tyrol, but most of our troops have left tl.e
Roman territory.
Nothing is yet positively determined about the
time of evacuation of Ancona, as the first Swiss enlisted
for the Roman Government will not arrive at Terrara be-
fore the 15th of June, and are then to be organized by
the Colonel Baron Sails.

It is said, the Porte insists on the evacuation of Algiers,
and that it has addressed a note to Sir S. Canning, in
which it declares that the final issue of the pending nego-
tiations, respecting the boundaries of Greece, depends on
that evacuation. The present state of Greece is repre-
sented as very deplorable. The negotiations respecting
the affairs of the Republic of Cracow are near to their
conclusion ; so that it is likely we shall soon have some
information on the subject of that State. The Commis-
sioners of the three protecting Powers have daily confe-
rences, and are in constant correspondence with the Se.
nate cl Cracow. All the Polish officers who have hitherto
rvntrined in the Polish territory, and have declined the
amnesty offered by Russia, will soon leave these states to go
to France.

VIENNA, MAY 22.—1 n the damp and cold weather of
the last few weeks we had again some fatal cases of
cholera. Three such cases were in the list of deaths pul -
limbed yesterday. The health of the Duke of Reichstadt
has unfortunately become worse of late. It is feared that
the seat of the disorder is in the windpipe. The public
feel greatly interested in this amiable Prince, and perhaps
for that reason think his case more dangerous than it
really is.—Frankfort Papers, May 29.

The following anecdote is taken from the
AfftLig Magazine. —The reply is a just and proper re-
buke to the observation, if it was made, but we confess
we have doubts on that point. One of the FITZCLA •
FNCFS, who holds a high rank in the 7th Fusileers, hap-
pened to be dining with the mess of that Regiment, when
the Adjutant, a gentleman who had not acquired that
dexterity and vrecision in the art of carving, which,
among other impr;rtant accomplishments, are possibly
essentials to complete success in certain of the higher
walks of life, was called on to perform some anatomical
ceremony of the table. The deficiency of the non-pro-
fessor of carving caught the eve of the cultivated and
Court-bred Colonel, who judged it gentlemanly to display
some contempt for a person so sadly wanting in the grand
ait of dissection. Some particular instance of failure at
last prompted him to say, with a flippancy worthy of the
folly of the sentimi nt, " My father says, that lie considers
excellence in carving to be the criterion of the habits of a
gentleman." The insult was not suffered to pass without
its reply—for, quietly pausing in his labour, and signifi-
c•antly fixing his eye on the Colonel, the unpractised carver
inquired—" And pray, Sir, what might be your mother's
opinion upon that head ?" .

"17he palm, in the countries where it grows,
has been the symbol of triumph in ancient and modern
tltaes. The triumph which is commemorated on Palm
Sunday is the peaceful entry of Christ into Jerusalem.
This festival was observed with much solemnity in the
Catholic times in England, and the people were accus-
tomed tg) make a procession, hearing boughs of blossoming
willow as most resembling the fan-like branches of the
palm. An old writer on plants says, speaking of willow,
" The blossoms come forth before any leaves appear, mph
are is the most flourishing state usually about Easter,
.iivers gathering them to deck up their houses on Palm-
.=;ar.rlay ; and therefore the said flowers are called palm."
The ;late-palm is in many respects one of the most valu-
able trees of the East, affording sustenance to an immense
population, and cheering a sterile region -with its beauty.
MECHANICAL CURIOSITIES.—Having °e-
rasion the other day to visit the Civet Cat, in Lord-
street, we were politely invited to inspect two
,great rz ri-
ties, a musical box, of unusual size and brills sky of tone,
and a beautiful snuff box, which being wourrf upf.exhibits
A mechanical bird of exquisite shape and.brilliant;plumage.
The fairy bird is about an inch in length,. the heal: about
one-eighth of an inch, which opens and shills as natural as
in the living bird. The notes it
,z4f.ters are singnarly
beautiful, arid are in imitation ofithAte of the canary, lark,
nightingale, and thrush. AA.lit2 warbles deliciously it
turns about its pretty little:fieia, and claps its beautiful
wings, and it is, altogetheone of the most exquisite
little mechanical toys evet'Vroduced by human skill. The
gigantic musical box, ecir so we must call it, compared
with all others we have sten, measures 22 inches by , and
plays in most brilliant style these airs—Overtures to Obe-
ron, Coradono, Othello, and the Barber of Seville.

THE CHOLERA.--ft has been found expe-
dient to open the Cholera Hospital at St. Bury's again.
The disease on Thursday gave 44 new cases and 11 deaths,
and yesterday 42 of the former and Bof the latter. The
exertions for the general safety must not relax—it is quite
essenti.l that they be persevered in as strenuously and ant-
duously, as in the commencement. The progress of the
cholera among the lunatics is represented to be melancholy
—the wretched sufferers not understanding their condition,
and generally refusing the assistance by which alone they
could be relieved.—Cork Constitution.

EXECUTION OF A FEMALE.—Yesterday,
about one o'clock, Margaret Gunning, who was found
guilty at the last Assizes of a conspiracy to murder JAMES
SHORT, underwent the awful sentence of the law. She
was attended with the greatest assiduity and kindness, by
the Rev. Mr. BRENNAN, and her conduct to the last mo-
ment of her existence was firm and edifying. Before her
appearance on the scaffold, she conversed with the High
Sheriff, and took an affecting leave of her husband ; to
both she openly and unequivocally declared her innocence
of any participatio% in the crime for which she was about
to suffer death. When she came before the vast multitude
assembled in front of the gaol, she did not appear intimi-
dated, but, in a collected and firm tone, protested her inno-
cence. She then turned to the Rev. Mr. BRENNAN, and
requested that he would direct that she would be as gently
as possibly used by the executioner ; anci having spent
some time in prayer she was launched into eternity amid
the sighs and tears of the numerous spectators, who evinced
much commiseration for her unhappy fate. She was
rather a handsome woman, no,; quite middle-aged, and
had been reprieved on the supposition that she was enceinte.
Some benevolent individuals exerted themselves, but in
vain, to procure a commutation of her sentence. Her
body, after hanging the usual time, was given to her
friends,... Cork ConsOution,

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

HO USE OF COMMONS, JuvE

On the motion of Mr. DUNDAS, the Edinburgh
Police Bill was read a third time and passed.
On the motion of Mr. BAH.LIE, the Bristol Compen-
sation Bill was read a third time and passed.
New writs were ordered to issue for the borough 0!
Caine, in the room of Mr. Macauley; and for the borough
of Cricklade, in the room of Mr. Robert Gordon, who have
been appointed Commissioners for the affairs of India.
Mr. STRICKLAND presented petitions front the
townships of Heptonstall, Stansfield, Hitchley, Erring-
dale, Wadsworth, and another the name of which we
could not learn, all in the parish of Halifax, complaining
of the proposed boundaries of the new boroughs. They
stated that the Bill confined the representation to a town-
ship which consisted of only 15,000 inhabitants, and they
prayed that it might be extended to the whole parish.
which would ioolude a representation of about 100,000
persons.—The petition was ordered to be printed.
Sir R. FERGUSSON presented a petition from certain
females of Nottingham, praying for an abolition of Colo-
nial Slavery. Also petitions from Nottingham against
the Registry of Deeds Bill ; and one from Kirkaldy, in
favour of Reform.
Mr. GRAT'f AN presented a petition from Dublin for
an alteration in the police system of that viiy. The
Hon. Member stated that the multitude of wretched pri-
soners iu the gads, where they were obliged to lie until
it suited the convenience of the Honourable Member
the Recorder (Mr. Shaw) to attead his dirties in Dublin,
occasioned a great expense, and a considerable increase in
the burdens of the city. The Learned Recorder ought
to be at his post performing his official duties, instead of
being in this House ; but he hoped that that inconveni-
ence would be remedied by a Reformed Parliament.
Mr. SHAW complained that the lion. Member had not
given him notice of his intention to present the present pe-
tition. He should not, however, receive from him a
lesson as to how he was to perform his duties—(llear)
either in that House or elsewhere. With respect to
grand juries, the Honourable Member had wholly mis-
represented the facts. lie lamented as much as
any man that the same persons should so often per-
form the office of grand jurors, but he believed it arose
from the unwilliugness of persons to accept onerous duties.
With respect to the poor, nobody deplore d more than he
did the poverty of the city of Dublin ; the Honour.
able Member had recommended him to relieve its
poverty by appropriating part of his income. Now,
in answer to that, he must state that as great a portion of
his income was devoted to charitable purposes as that of
the Hon. Member, and he had done so without distinction
or reference to party.--(Hear.) With respect to the
state of the prisons, he admitted they were bad, and he had
taken every opportunity of bringing that matter for-
ward. The Honourable Member had stated that
in consequence of his absence from Dublin, persons were
confined in prison much longer than during, the time of his
predecessors. Now the very reverse was the f:'ct ; for, by
the returns during that period, individuals were much
longer in prison than at the present moment. He had
never suffered his duties in that House to interfere with
those of the situation of Recorder of Dublin. There was
no department of his Court in which there was a single
case in arrear. What, therefore, the Hon. Member had
to complain of he could not tell ; but this he could assure
him, that if he had not a seat in that House, he should not
long hold the situation of Recorder.—(Hear.)
Mr. O'CONNELL did not think the Recorder deserved
the charges that had been made against him, and he could
not but think that his Hun. Friend opposite was under a
mistake, in attributing what he had done to the Learned
Recorder.—(Hear.) He bore testimony to the state-
ments of that Learned Gentleman, that there were no
arrears in his Court ; he could not but designate the
gaol of Dublin as a tremendous job from the beginning
to the end, and it was not a fit place for a hog--(Laughter)
—much less a bunion being. He trusted his Hon. Friend

opposite would turn his attention to the Dublin Police Act,
as he concurred fully with the petitioners in what they
stated with respect to it.
Alter a few observations from Mr. GRATTAN, Mr.
SHAW, and Air. LEADER the petition was ordered to be
printed.

Mr. GRATTAN presented a petition from a parish
in Ireland against the Tithe System.
Lord KILLEEN supported the prayer of the petition.
Lord COLE presented a petition from a parish in Fer-
managh, against the grant to the College of Maynooth.
Captain GORDON presented a petition front Dumfries,
against the new plan of Irish education. Also petitions
to the same effect from Dewsbury, in Yorkshire ; Rath-
eooney, in the county Cork; and Glasgow.
Mr. DIXON said, he considered any petition coining
from Glasgow was entitled to his attention, arid, if possi-
ble, to his support. He did not object to any portion of
the people of Glasgow making their sentiments known
by petition to that House, but the petition now
presented did not state facts. The Bible was not
to be a sealed book to the people of Ireland, as the peti-
tioners appeared to have been led to believe. That bad
been denied over and over again.
Mr. A. JOHNSTON did not feel that he would be
doing his duty to his constituents if he did not declare that
the people of Scotland were as able to come to a just con-
clusion as any Hots. Member in that House.
Captain GORDON, in answer to the Hon. Member
for Glasgow, must say that the plan, as proposed by
the Government, was a virtual exclusion of the Scriptures
from the people; and though there was a permission to bring
in the Bible to the school-room on certain days,
still that only depended upon the fact of
whether the local instructor was a religions man
or not. Seeing the Honourable Secretary for Ireland
now in his place, he wished to know from hint whether
those rumeurs which had agitated men's minds upon this
subject, were true or not. He understood that a corre-
spondence had been carried on with persons in Scotland, both
lay and ecclesiastical, upon the subject, and it bad been
stated in the General Assembly by the Solicitor-General
far Scotism', that the Government would have no objec-
tion .teoSi:riptoral classes being formed in the school for
Protestant scholars.
Mr. STANLEY was sure that the House most now
he tired of this subject. However, he had no hesitation
in saying that such a correspondence as that alluded to by
the Honourable Member had taken place. The state-
ments contained in that correspondence were certainly the
same as .his repeated declarations in that house,
that classes iur the Scriptures might he formed in every
school, -:to which the Protestants might attend,
but that class should be held either before the
school commenced,, or after several hours, in order that
Roman Catholic parents might have a security that their
children would .not be forced into these classes.
Their 'explanations' in the correspondence bad satisfied
those gentlemen of Scotland who had taken an interest
in the subject, and he was sure they would satisfy every
man but a religious bigot, or one who wished to make
this subject the cover for political animosity.—(Hear.)
Mr. SHAW disclaimed being either a bigot, or that on
any occasion he had been influenced by feelings of a
political nature with respect to this subject.—(Hear.)
He objected to the plan, because the Protestants were
obliged to read the Bible in a sneaking and secret manner.

Mr. O'CONNELL said, if the Learned Recorder should
not be called a bigot, he was afraid he must he charged
with something worse—with a wish to prolong the ill
feeling between Catholics and Protestants, by excluding
them from being educated together.
Sir R. BATESON stated that many individuals of con-
sideration had already expressed their disapprobation of the
system, among whom iniL:ht be noticed the Presbyterian
Synod of Ulster, who said it was contrary to their tenets,
and they would not recommend any children of their con-
gregation to attend the schools.
Sir F. BURDETT said, if the system was intended to
be one of national education, there should be such an ar-
rangement as would prevent the Catholic from being su-
perior to the Protestant, and vice versa, and he did not
see how that could be accomplished better than by the
plan proposed by the Government. It would tend to di-
minish rekious animosity, and introduce harmony between
the parties.
After a few observations from Sir R. Isous and Mr.
A. JOHNSTON, the petition was ordered to be printed.
Mr. WYSE said it was his intention to have brought
forward a motion respecting the Diocesan Schools in
Ireland ; but in order not to interfere with the time of the
Rouse, and to further the Scotch and Irish Bills of Re-
form, he would postpone his motion to Thursday, the 2lst
instant.

Mr. J. WEYLAND postponed his Bill to consolidate
and amend the laws with respect to Licensed Victuallers
till next Session.

Mr. PORTMAN rose to bring forward his motion re-
lative to the detention of John Capes at Jersey, when
Mr. LAMB requested him to postpone it, as he was in
hopes the complaint would be remedied without any dis-
cu,sion.

Mr. PORTMAN could not consent to postpone the
motion unless he clearly understood that Ministers would
lay on the tables of the House all papers necessary to eluci-
date the transaction.

Mr. LAMB said that all the papers necessary to eluci-
date the transiction should be laid on Vie table.
Mr. PORTMAN then consented to withlraw his
motion.

Ml'. H UME moved for a return of the names and

rank of every person now employed in the diplomatic 6er
Ace, statim.l. the date of his first appointment, and tin
everal offices be has held, and the actual period of service
Nom], and each rank; also a statement of the salary, and
Alawanees each received at the present time for the office
ie now held.—Agreed to.
Mr. DITNCOMBE moved for returns relative to the
icensing of theatres.
