and moral condition of a most useful and estimable
portion of our fellow-countrymen.—Times.
It would seem from an article extracted from a Ger-
man paper, which appears in another part of our im-
pression, that the speech of the Emperor of Russia at
Warsaw, so many versions of which have been pub-
lished, is likely to give rise to a serious inquiry,.in order
to ascertain thq parties who have promulgated to the
world an address that was not spoken, or intended, for
publication. The communication of the version in
the columns of the-Journal des Debuts is attributed to
the French Charge d'Affaires in the Polish capital,
and it would certainly be but just, as is well observed
by our German contemporary, that he should, if he
were the informant, at once acknowledge the fact,
rather than subject the members of the Warsaw mu-
nicipality to the consequences of an investigation,
which cannot be productive of benefit or advantage to
any of the parties concerned in this indiscreet exhibi-
tion of the Emperor of Russia. We must confess,
however, that we turn with disgust from the outrageous
and unjust language which the French and English
journals have made use of towards the Czar. It is
not by continued appeals to the worst passions of man-
kind that the regeneration of Poland is to be accom-
plished. It is not by the dissemination of the most
foul and infamous calumnies against the private cha-
racter, habits, and disposition of the Russian
Emperor that the hard lot of the Poles is to be
bettered. Sooner or later these violent incentives
to revolution—this constant endeavour to keep up
political ex,:itement and hatred against the Muscovite
ruler—must be productive of serious injury to the in-
terests of Great Britain. It is disgraceful to a Bri-
tish Minister to encourage his official journals to pub-
lish, day after day, the vilest slanders against the heads
of powerful States with which we are at at peace.
The Whig Government, with all its pretended sym-
pathy for the wrongs of Poland, notwithstanding all
the eloquent invectives, at public dinners, of various
Members of the Melbourne Administration against
Russian oppression and tyranny, did not dare to strike
when the opportunity presented itself. 'Where were
the patriotism and philanthropy of the Whigs durirT,
the last Polish struggle for independence ? For what
reason did they not at that time put their revolutionary
principles of interference into practice ? The attachment
to the " blessings of a liberal Government induced
Lord Palmerston to interfere in the affairs of the west of
Europe; but; whilSt he could wage an under-handed
war by means of a disgraceful quasi-intervention
against petty States and petty Sovereigns, his Lord-
ship shrunk from attacking the Russian nation, to
carry out, according to the cant expression of the day,
a great principle.—Morning Post.

ROLLS' COURT.-THURSDAY.

THE SOLICITOR-GENERAL V. THE CORPORATION OF BATH.

This was an information filed against the defendants, in
their character of trustees of certain charities in Bath.
The facts of the case were as follow :—The charities were
founded by letters patent, dated in the reign of Kin.- Ed-
ward VI., who endowed them with the property of the
dissolved priory of Bath, then valued at 251., per annum.
By a decree made in 1735 by a Charity Commission, the
Corporation was ordered to pay to the charity two sums
of 5,000/. and 5001., for property belonging to the charity
which they had either alienated or could not point out.
This decree, it was admitted by both sides, was never
acted upon. The present information was filed on the re-
port of the Charity Commissioners for the purpose of
having an account of the rents arid profits received, of the
property belonging to the charity, and a scheme for the
management of the charity.
Mr. BICKERSTETH appeared for the relators.
Mr. TINNEY appeared on behalf of the Corporation of
Bath.

His Honour the MASTER of the ROLLS postponed his
udgment.
