ment, and confiscation have established Russian power
as firmly as acts of blood and rapine can establish the
dominion of a barbarous conqueror. At such a time
when even those who knew the ruthless disposition of
Nicholas well, supposed even his thirst of vengeance
was slaked, and his rage for Polish victims surfeited
by indulgence, he pictures to his imagination a more
dreadful picture of sweeping desolation than any that
Poland has yet presented, and gives his guilty thoughts
utterance in expressions such as these :—" If you
persist in your dreams of a distinct nationality—of
the independence of Poland, and of such chimeras, you
will only draw down upon yourselves still greater mis-
fortunes. I have raised this citadel, and I declare
that .on the slightest insurrection I will cause its
cannon to thunder upon the city. Warsaw shall be
destroyed, and certainly shall never be rebuilt in my
time !" Thus the despot, to whom our " liberal'
Government furnished that British gold, by means of
the Russian-Dutch loan job, which enabled him
eventually to put down Polish independence, threatens
utter physical extermination to a people whom he has
already politically destroyed, and whose national exist-
ence Great Britain is as positively pledged to protect,
as ever nation was pledged to anything by the faith of
a solemn treaty. The Journal des Debats, in com-
menting upon this extraordinary speech of the despot
Nicholas, speaks of the treaty of Vienna, which
guarantees the nationality of Poland, as part of the
public law of Europe. All that the Journal des De-
bats says of this subject, the Morning Herald has
told the public over arid over again—both during the
struggle in Poland and since. In vain did we call on
Lord Palmerston and his colleagues to redeem the
faith of England in reference to that treaty, when
the Autocrat was busied in the, savage work of ex-
terminating a people whom the intolerable tyranny
of the ferocious Constantine had goaded into insur-
rection. No doubt that monster was invested with
the Vice-Regal authority in Poland, with the
very intention of provoking the Poles into acts of
resistance, for we belieVe that the smooth hypocrisy
of Alexander had long contemplated that incorpo-
ration of Poland with his own dominions, which the
accession of the fiercer Nicholas to the throne accele-
rated. Tile Whig Ministers abandoned Poland to its
fate—nor did their submissive majority of self-styled
Liberals raise a voice in defence of Poland, until the
triumph of the Russian arms was complete, and the
last struggle of Polish independence was crushed be-
neath the walls of Warsaw. When the appointment
of the Marquis of Londonderry to the Court of St.
Petersburgh was opposed last Session in the House of
Commons, it was said by Mr. Shell and others, that
we ought to send an Ambassador to St. Petersburgh
who would not only be disposed and able to counteract
the designs of Russia upon Turkey, but who would
have both the inclination and the spirit to advocate the
cause of Poland. Well, Lord Durham has been sent
on that mission, as he was once before;and while he is
paving the most obsequious attention to the Autocrat,
and toasting " perfection to the power of the Russian
navy" in flowing bumpers, the destroyer of Poland—
the insolent violator of the treaty of Vienna—takes
that very opportunity to utter new and horrible threats
of vengeance against the Poles. Great are the obli-
gations which the Poles owe to the 'embassy of Lord
Durham and the protection of England.—Morning
Herald.
It is with extreme regret that we have to announce
the decease of Lord Robert Manners, the brother of
the Duke of Rutland. The particulars of this melan-
choly event will be found elsewhere in the letter of a
correspondent. The lamented death of Lord Robert
Manners causes a vacancy in the representation of
North Leicestershire. His Lordship sat for the county
in seven Parliaments consecutively, previously to the
election of 1831, when the Reform mania was the
means of originating- a temporary rejection by the
choice of Mr. Paget. The re-action, however, soon
restored Lord Robert Manners to his position in the
Legislature, and since 1832 his Lordship has sat ,for
the county without opposition. We need scarcely
add that his politics. were those of decided Conser-
vatism, and he never shrunk froui upholding them by
his vote, influence, or example. Lord Robert Man-
ners inherited the dauntless bravery of his grandfather,
the renowned Granby, and disdained a life of enerva-
ting luxury. He early made choice of the military
profession, and had the proud fortune to be the
conipanioa in arms, and intimate friend, of the illus-
trious Wellington, under whose banners he served,
and acquired a reputation for distinguished valour,
throughout the whole of the Peninsular war. His
Lordship received a severe wound on the plains of
Waterloo, which he anxiously concealed until the close
of that " glorious and well-fought field." For his
series of services to the State, the Leicestershire Pitt
Club presented him, in 1815, with a. gold medal, on
which was recorded his high and ennobling achieve-
ments. But it was not in his military reputation alone
that Lord Robert Manners held an enviable considera-
tion. To great natural courage he united a kindness
of heart, a high sense of honour, an inobtrusive sim-
plicity of manner, and a rare singleness of purpose
that won for him the unmixed regard and affection of
all who had the happiness to claim his relationship or
acquaintance. No reputation was ever more unspotted.
His Lordship was truly the " chevalier sans peur et
sans reproche." The army has lost in him a brave
soldier ; the Constitution deplores the death of a
staunch defender.—Morning Post.
We alluded the other day to Lord John Russell's
" Organic changes !" What, let us ask, is meant by
organic changes ? It is a phrase lately introduced
into public discussion, and as it seems likely to become
a favourite with certain parties, we are anxious to be
informed as to its precise signification. Some people
use words as signs of their ideas, but others as a means
of concealing their thoughts, and for the latter purpose
few idioms could be more efficient than that of " or-
ganic changes !" II may mean anything, or everything,
or, like Sir Robert Peel's " legitimate Reform, with
respect for vested rights," it may mean nothing. The
best measures of Reform have been accomplished by
means of organic changes, yet the worst measures may
be included under the same heail ;—it may imply
either a Reform of the House of Lords, or the over-
throw of the Monarchy. The Reform Act was an
organic change. It purified to a certain extent the
constitution of the House of Commons. The Muni-
cipal Reform Act, and the Irish Church Bill, in-
volved organic changes. Some of those who sanctioned
these measures now gratuitously avow their hostility
to " organic changes." We ask to what organic-
changes arc they opposed? And the people of Eng-
land have a right to• expect and insist upon a satis-
factory reply, without quibble or reservation. It is
time to distinguish between friends And foes. If
those who were foremost in effecting a Reform of the
House of Commons are now opposed to any Reform
of the House of Lords, as being an organic change,
let them openly declare it. Let those who invoke
public opinion on other questions appeal to it also on
this—for our part we are willing, nay—determined—
to abide by the decision of the people on this and on
every other question. A declaration against a Re-
form of the House of Commons hurled the first
Wellington Administration from office ; let such a
result serve as a warning against similar declarations
against a Reform of the House of Lords. It is a
measure on which the mind of the great majority of
the nation is intently fixed ; and no Administration
can.long maintain itself in opposition to a measure
which the voice of a whole people, the intelligence
of the age, and necessities of the times, proclaim to be
essential to the well-being of the commonwealth—nay,
to the very salvation of the State. • The proceedings
of the last Session of Parliament prove, beyond the
possibility of denial, the utter impracticability of car-
rying on the Government of Great Britain with a re-
formed House of Commons and an unreformed House
of Lords. Successive votes during the Peel usurpa-
tion clearly showed that, notwithstanding the leaven
of corruption which escaped the Reform Act in the
House of Commons, that Assembly would not tolerate
a Tory Administration on any terms; and after having
tried the effect of hollow promises with all manner of
duplicity, corruption, and wile, Sir Robert was forced
upon a reluctant resignation. The Melbourne Cabinet
succeeded, owing its elevation solely to the popular will,
a fact sufficient of itself to excite the hostility of the
factious ; and the Lords amply revenged themselves for
the defeat which their partisans experienced in the

Commons. Every measure of public good was either
met by a negative, or so mutilated as to be unworthy
of acceptance. At the close of the Session, there
appeared to be no alternative between a compromise
and a convulsion. The Ministry chose the former,
whether wisely or not we shall not go back to inquire ;
but one thing is certain, though we gained some 'van-
tage ground, the victory is still undecided. We are
approaching another struggle, as momentous as any
in which we have ever yet been engaged. If we keep
skirmishing at the outposts, or wasting our time and
strength in carrying comparatively minor Reforms, we
merely prolong the season of excitement and uncer-
tainty ; but if we attack the enemy in the citadel, and
reform the House of Lords, all other Reforms will
follow as things of course, and the nation will be
spared those repeated collisions which have so fre-
quently threatened us with the horrors of a violent re-
volution.—Morning Advertiser.

IMPORTANT TO MASTERS AND

OWNERS OF SHIPS.

In consequence of the great inconvenience and injury
which masters and owners of sailing vessels suffer from the
competition and injury done to their vessels by collisions
with steamers, and other accidents occasioned by those
boats, together with other grievances, of which the coasting
trade complain, a meeting of owners and masters of ships
was convened at the King's Head, Tooley-street, on Mon-
day evening, to consider of the propriety of forming an asso-
ciation to protect the interest of the trade of sailing vessels
generally.
Mr. BANDOCK, the wharfinger, having been called to the
Chair, resolutions to, the effect, that the trade of sailing
vessels suffered materially from the unfair competition of
steam-vessels, which were employed to convey goods with-
out being subject to the same dues as sailing-vessels ; and
also from the occasional injuries which sailing vessels suf-
fered from collisions with steamers, and from the swell occa-
sioned by their rapid progress through the river ; and also
that the trade was much injured by vessels being detained
in port longer than was necessary, were carried. To de-
vise means to protect the trade from those and other evils
an association should be formed who will be authorised to
prosecute for all damage sustained by sailing vessels from
steamers, and to protect the trade in sailing vessels generally.
The meeting was well attended, and the resolutions unani-
mously passed, and the meeting adjourned until Friday.

KING'S BENCH.-TUESDAY.

REX V. MILLINGEN AND OTHERS.

This was an indictment against five defendants for a con-
spiracy, maliciously to charge a Mr. Jessell with perjury.
The parties had quarrelled about bill transactions, and the
defendants were charged with havinr, got up this charge of
perjury to avenge themselves. Three° of the defendants
were found guilty, and two were acquitted. A Rule had
been obtained for a new trial.

The COURT said that the justice of the case would be
best consulted by making the Rule absolute.

GREENHILL V. GREENHILL.

Mr. Sergeant WILDE applied at the rising of the Court,
for a Rule to show cause why an order of Mr. Justice Pat-
teson made in this case, should not be set aside, and why
Mrs. Greenhill should not be allowed to come in to show
cause against a Rule for an attachment obtained against
her. This Rule for an attachment had been obtained for
the alleged disobedience to a writ of habeas corpus issued
at the instance of Mr. Greenhill, commanding Mrs. Green-
hill to bring up the bodies of their children, the eldest five
and a half, and the youngest two and a half years old, now
in her custody.—The COURT granted a Rule.

BAIL COURT.-TUESDAY.

IN THE MATTER OF CHAMBERS'S BANKRUPTCY.

Mr. ALEXANDER moved for a rule nisi in the action
Green v. Chambers. The Court had directed Mr. Wilton,
in an issue to try the validity of the Commission, to find
security for the costs. In consequence of which Messrs.
Blunt, attorneys for Mr. Wilton, wrote to Messrs. Mayhew
and Co.,' the solicitors of the Cominission, requesting them
to accept their undertaking as security for the costs.
Messrs. Mayhew in reply said, they should not be- acting
agreeably to. the orders in the rule if they did, because it
ordered that the security should be satisfactory to the Mas-
ter. Application was made to' the Master, who required
Mr. Wilton's . bond for 1,0001., and two other securities.
This demand was thought to exceed the proper bounds,
and therefore it was proposed to send the matter back to
the Master to reduce the amount of the security, and that
a peremptory notice to try at the next sittings should be
given. There were, the Learned Counsel said, several
rules which had been obtained by different parties against
Mr. Wilton, which would be decided next Monday. All
that was required now on the part of that gentleman was,
to forward the trial of the issue.
Mr. Justice LITTLEDALE said the Learned Counsel
might take a rule-nisi.
