veyors, the Journalists, bring out one fatted calf
titer another that the hungry penitent may refresh himself,
but soon he feels himself as the son of the
The friends immediately become servants, and the bene-
factors old debtors. Accustomed from his youth to a dis-
orderly life, he seeks it every where abroad, as well as at
home; and he is suffered to have his way, because it has
been resolved to love the returned libertine at any rate.—
If, therefore, a traveller has just looked over the frontier
of Poland, he is immediately laid hold of, and questioned
by the first friend of Skrzynecki that he happens to meet
with, and asked how he found the air and the diet in
Poland, and whether he did not perceive a convoy to Si-
beria at a distance, by the smell of the Russian leather.—
Then, overcome with sensibility, the most edifying ar-
ticles, " From the frontiers of Poland," are indited, and
communicated to the world as a leaf out of the Book with
Seven Seal. To the inhabitants of Poland this is of great
importance. From this authentic correspondence, they
inay learn and correct their own errors. Why should it
not be easy to describe Warsaw as it is on the Boulevards,
or in the city, or in the Augsburg lying paper, better than
in Warsaw itself? Hive not Santo Domingo and Adolph
Von Schaden described many a city as it is, in a manner
strange enough ? We are therefore diverted at being told
many singular things about Poland, in No. 175 of the
Hamburg Correspondent. We shall make but a few
remarks. It is very true that a great part of the " weak"
Russian army is cantoned among us, which passed the
Caucasus and the Balkan, and drove a free army of a
stored cause in all directions of the compass.
But what is the situation of this army, when
every soldier, against the orders of his general, lives in
a friendly footing with the inhabitants, and the conqueror
looks on the conquered as brothers of the same race? It
sounds odd enough when we hear of a Russian army
without subordination, hut foreign countries seem to
know better than we ourselves, what we shall see and
hear. But where is the Northern giant, who at length
incommoded the gentlemen of the woolsack, if the
strength of the Russian army consists in 150 Polish vo-
lunteers, who have received two ducats for the honour
of serving under the Russian banners, and of living in the
first stories of Warsaw. Still less can we understand
the logic which denies the order for military merit
to those who vanquished Napoleon, and adjudges
it to those who were chased from Moscow to Paris.
From all these circumstances we see that everything
may be imposed on German good nature by those who
have audacity and immorality sufficient. Lastly, we
confess that we have begun to build a new house of cor-
rection (the old one was demolished on the 7th Septem-
ber), but we will willingly stop the building if the Polish
Committees will provide others for the intended inmates."

FROM THE MAINE, Auu. 19.—The proposal made by
Hanover for the revival of the internal commerce of Ger-
many, and the preservation of smuggling, goes on the prin-
ciple that every State has indeed a right to levy a transit
duty on goods passing through it, but that it is ne-
cessary to lay down a maximum for all the States,
to he determined according to the weight of the
goods, and to the distances, and that all tolls by land or
water should he similarly regulated. It also proposes to
consider whether the raw productions and manufactures of
one State, especially the first necessaries of life, might be
exempt from excise duty on being imported into another
state, or, at least, enjoy an advantage above those of foreign
countries. The proposal is before a cornmittee.—Nurenz-
burg Correspondent, Aug. 23.

At the German meeting which was held yes-
terday, Mr. MERLE, in the course of an able
speech, observed, that " our foreign Minister
had been accused, and perhaps justly, of vacil-
lating policy ; still repentance would come
at some time of life, and he had good
reason to believe that that hour had at
length arrived with Lord PALMERSTON." We
hope that this is the fact, for most assuredly his
Lordship's errors are such as to demand im-
periously the promptest anti most decided re-
cantation.

Who was it some months ,back contended
that the effect of the Reform Bill would be to
throw the chief control of the elections into the
hands of the middling classes,—into the hands of
the decent and orderly part of the population,
desiring to preserve peace and tranquillity ?
The Liberal Press and the Reformers. Who
was it that prophesied in endless Je-
remiads, all worse, if possible, than the
horrors of anarchy, as the certain results of
its passing ?—The parasitical press of the Oli-
garchy, and the slave-minded gulls and retainers
who echoed its wilful perversions of the truth.
Now that the effects foretold by the Reformers
are manifesting themselves, the Tory Papers an
nounce it as a wonderful discovery ; but whilst
thus compelled to confess the truth, by way of
make-weight, they tack it to a quantum suif
of falsity, to prevent their friends becoming
alarmed at so unexpected a change. For instance,
the Morning Post of to-day, as will be seen
in another part of our Paper, acknowledges that
the Reform Act " will not completely extinguish
the influence of property for the present," but
adds, that the revolutionary party, in order to
accomplish that object, are now clamouring for
the ballot. The Refomers (to English the
language of the Morning Post) do not wish for
the ballot to diminish the fair influence of property.
" Our honest yeomanry" will never despise the
opinions of their landlords; but if it be right, as
the Post appears to acknowledge, that our honest
yeomanry should have a voice in the proper dis-
posal of the money taken out of their pockets—
if it be right that the " decent, orderly, con-
servative portion of the electors" should have
a similar privilege, then it is right that they
should be protected in its exercise. The ballot
only will afford them this protection, and that
it will do so, in spite of the fine sounding ar-
guments of its opponents, is sufficiently
proved by the dread the Oligarchica
tyrants, who have so long plundered the
country, express at its adoption. We make
no comment at present upon the remainder of
the Post's observations, our object having been
simply to point out in how felicitous a manner
it contrives to preserve its mendacious character,
even in acknowledging a former error.

securing his own success. We have not l itely heard of
Mr. Escorr, and as to Mr. LUTTRELL, he has turned
Reformer ; but the voters will not be easily persuaded
that this declaration is made with sincerity. In the Eastern
district, Mr. MILES finds the weight of popular opinion
against hint. The meeting at Wincanton was a proof of
this; but we regret that he had not a fair hearing. We
do not believe that he has any chance of success, and
should scarcely think he will undertake the fatigue and
expense of a contest. —Sherborne Journal.
