THE INSURRECTION IN POLAND.

The late orders about not wearing mourning,
carrying sticks, &c., have given rise to all sorts of
absurdities. The shoiikeepers were ordered to take
all signs of mourning dresses, &c., out of their win-
dows, on which they all, with one accord, exhibited
things only of the two colours, red and green—the
former signifying bloodshed, and the latter hope—
and actually a fresh artier has been issued forbidding
these colours to appear t Everybody is obliged to
carry a lantern who is out after 10 o'clock at night,
as you know; so all sorts of devices have been re-
sorted to to render this order ridiculous; two school-
boys were seen marching through the streets, be-
tween f and
.10 in the morning, with a tiny lantern
suspended on huge pole, in the manner in which
the soldiers carry their sOup. Again, between 5 and
6 in the evening, a man might be seen bearing two
lighted lanterns suspended on'each end of a stick ;
and another with a lantfin fastenedto hiei coat in
front in the fashion of-an order. Another made
the tour of the town in a droschlta .with an enor-
mous Chinese lantern on 'each side of him, and so on.
When tie order :for, leavinX off 'mourning first
appeared the English and Prlissian Conals-Gene-
ral went to the Prinee—and told , him they had
been ordered by their--; own Sovereigns to wear
mourning, and they trttrefore intended doing so,
bUt they decidedly obje4ted to the idea of having it
forcibly torn off by tharpitrols appointed for that
purpose ; so the Prince timed papers to be drawn
-up containing a permlsaion to wear mourning, " or
anything they liked," w)irich were given to the Bri-
tishCOnsul-Genertil, ltkek-Clnsul, anti chaplain, and
to the PrOaian Consutivhe now accordingly walk
abed the-toim each With his crape on his hat and
his " permit" in hie pocket, bearing the autograph
of the most merciful General Zablockoi. A few
days ago M. Laszczinski, the Civil Governor of
Warsaw, was walking along the street with a stick
in his hand, when a patrol met him, stopped him
(sticks being forbidden) and handled him rather
roughly. He was extremely indignant at this, and
went back immediately to the Castle, which he had
just left, to. complain to the Prince, saying it was
intolerable that Government employes should be so
insulted ; but the only remedy the Prince could
devise was, that the employes should give up wear-
ing hats, adopting caps with a star in the front
instead.

THIS DAY'S MARKETS.

THE NAVY.

The Duncan, 101, screw, in the second class
reserve at Portsmouth, yesterday left the harbour
under steam, and proceeded to the trial ground in
Stokes.bay, in charge of Capt. G. S. Gordon, com-
manding the steam reserve at the port, to test her
three-bladed iron propeller. In her trial of August
last she attained a speed of 13.335 knots, accom-
panied by a great and very peculiar vibration
below. The propeller used on that occasion was
one of Griffiths's patent, of 20 feet diameter, and a
pitch of 26 feet. The diameter of the iron propel-
ler with which yesterday the intended series of
trials were commenced is 19 feet 3 inches, with a
pitch of 27 feet 10 inches. Six runs were made on
this as on the former trial, and the results, by com-
parison between the two trials, were a reduction
in speed of 100th of a knot, with six revolutions
less, and the vibration considerably less than
before. The blades of the iron propeller are
of the common form, with their leading edge
uncut, but will undergo certain alterations
during the forthcoming trials. The Duncan
will be placed in dock to-day, should there be suffi-
cient water, to detach the shifting blade from her
propeller, &c. The great fault of the three-bladed
propeller lies in the necessity its use imposes of
docking the ship when required to be got at her
for any purpose, instead of lifting it through the
screw aperture, as is done with the two-bladed prp-
peller.

The royal screw yacht Fairy has commenced dis-
mantling alongside the north wall of Portsmouth
dockyard, preparatory to being taken in hand by
the authorities for a thorough overhaul and repair
of her machinery, &c.
The Rosamond, 6, paddle, in 10.4 dock, at Ports-
mouth, has commenced planking up preparatory to
coming out of the dock and being fitted as a float-
ing steam factory.
Her Majesty's ship Dee was hauled out of basin
yesterday, and again left Woolwich, heavily laden
with steam gear for the use of the Black Prince at
Glasgow. The resolve of the Board of Admiralty
to cause the engines and machinery destined for the
Black Prince, at Glasgow, to be manufactured in the
Thames, and those of the Bristol, at Woolwich, to
be manufactured on the Clyde, has given rise to
many remarks, the Dee and Rhadamanthus (the
only two ships employed exclusively in that
service) having been taken up for that purpose dur-
ing the whole of the winter. In consequence of the
tempestuous weather experienced during the respec-
tive voyages, for which both ships are extremely
ill adapted, and the delay in the transport, the fit-
ting and completion of both the Black Prince and
the Bristol have been retarded, and the outlay con-
siderably augmented, in addition to the unnecessary
expenditure incurred in transport. Two other ship •
loads still remain to complete the complement for
each vessel.

A number of long and short lengths of two inch
chain cables, manufactured by Messrs. Wood
Brothers, of Chester, and Messrs. Park and Co., of
Dudley, were tested yesterday and Saturday in the
hydraulic testing-house at Woolwich. The whole
of the cables withstood the test well, and all bore
nearly double the strain required by the Admiralty
regulations—namely, 72 tons, those of Messrs.
Park's and Co. giving way at 121 a tons ; while
those of Messrs. Wood resisted to 130 tons' strain,
and broke only at that point. Messrs. Wood's
cables were stated to be manufactured of Welsh
iron ; and those of Messrs. Park of Staffordshire
iron. The trials were pronounced to be highly
satisfactory and extremely creditable to both firms.
Messrs. Park's links, of an oblong shape, were
accorded the preference, Messrs. Wood's being an
oval form of link.

Rear-Admiral R. Laird Warren, the newly ap-
pointed Commander-in-Chief on the Brazil station,
embarked yesterday for Ascension on board the
Emerald, 51, screw, Capt. Arthur Cumming, lying
at Spithead.
The following appointments were made yesterday
at the Admiralty :—Capt. Sidney Grenfell to the
Cornwallis, vice Capt. Randolph, whose period of
service has expired ; A. W. Brabazon, naval cadet,
