ADDRESS OF THE INHABITANTS OF BIRMINGHAM TO THE

ANCIENT AND HEROIC POLISH NATION.

Brave men of Poland !—We call upon you frora the
heart of England. Released ourselves from domestic op-
pression, our first thoughts are turned to you. Before we
have had time to redress the wrongs and the miseries of
our own country, we turn to Poland—unhappy, heroic
Poland ! We desire to express to you our admiration of
your noble conduct, our grief for your unhappy fate, our
indignation and abhorrence at the conduct of your oppres-
sors, and the deep and burning shame which overwhelms
us, that we, the men of England, should have been corn-
pelted to stand by, inactive spectators, whilst the honour
of our country has been violated, and the most frightful
crime has been completed, recorded in the history of the
world.

Men of Poland !—The laws of nations, the rights of
humanity, the honour of England—all have been out-
raged in your persons. Treaties have been audaciously
broken, to which England is a party.; England must vin-
dicate her honour, and redress your wrongs, or she must
descend from ber station among the nations of the earth,
and be prepared herself to receive the fetters which she
has basely suffered to be forged for you.
Men of Poland ,—When the eastern barbarians burst
in upon Germany in the height of their power, carrying
terror and desolatio❑ in their career, your noble ancestors
rushed forward with a generous ardour, and saved Europe
under the walls of Vienna. The northern barbarians
have now burst in upon your heroic country. But, un-
happily for you and for Europe, no friendly nation has
rushed forward to your defence.

Men of Poland I.
—You have arrested the march of the
barbarians upon the Rhine. You have made a rampart
with the bones of your countrymen in defence of the ris-
ing liberties of France. Be this your melancholy glory.
You have s wed France, but lost your country.
Men of Poland !—You are now a nation without a
country—a people without a name ! The atrocious tyrant
of Russia has murdered your heroes, robbed you of your
country, and driven you out, as wanderers and exiles upo❑
the face of the earth. Your children—your unhappy
wives—cursed be Europe if she forgive their wrongs.
Men of Poland !—We would carry comfort to your de-
solated hearts. In the depth of your misery we would bid
you not to despair. There is a God in Heaven, who
avenges the crimes of tyrants when the cup of their ini-
quities is full. Your wrongs have excited the indignation
of Europe. The Governments of Europe may forsake
you, but, believe us, the people are with you. At this
very moment the storm is gathering over the heads of
your oppressors. The day is not distant when the exiles
of Siberia will be restored to their homes—when you will
yourselves go back to your native land—that glorious land
where the bones of Sobieski repose, and when the joyous
shout will echo throughout the world—" Poland is free!"
Birmingham, October 15.

LAMENTABLE OCCURRENCE IN YORK-

SFREET, WESTMINSTER.

ANOTHER SUFFERER. DEAD-.SINOULAR EXAMINATION
AT QUEEN-SQUARE OFFICE.

Since the accident at the Brunswick Theatre, perhaps
no calamity has excited more public sympathy and con
miseration than the lamentable occurrence in York-street,
Westminster. Hundreils of persons visited the scene of
devastation tin Saturday. The Marquis of Stafford sent,
at an early hour, a person to the overseers of the parish to
make inquiries respecting the subscription for the relief of
the sufferers, with a promise to subscribe M. when proper
persons were appointed to manage the fund. We have
already stated that the two children of a journeyman
tailor, named Parry, were dug out of the rubbish, after
remaining there for nine hours. One child, a girl about
nine years of age, was quite dead ; but the other, a boy,
aged about three years and a half, on being rescued from
the mass of rubbish and timber was found to be alive.
The injuries it had received were apparently not of a se-
rious nature, and hopes were entertained of the child's
recovery. On being taken to the hospital, however, it
was ascertained the poor bey had received considerable in-
jury internally, and notwithstanding the medical gentle-
men were assiduous in their attention to the little sufferer,
he expired at half.past twelve o'clock on the same
night. The number of deaths now amounts to five.
The premises, on Saturday morning, were in a dangerous
condition. About 8 o'clock a large portion of the back
wall of the house of Mr. Jesson, fell in with a tremen•
dous crash. Fortunately no person was near the spot at
the time. It would appear that the houses fell by the
giving way of one of the principal supports adjoining the
party wall. Mr. Je-son's house first tell in, and carried
the other with it. The whole of the back part of both
houses came down ibstAataneously, leaving only the walls
