RIOT AT LAMBING FLAT.

Just ready, in 3 vols.,
COUNTRY SOCIETY.
A NOVEL.
" Verite sans Peur."

(From the Australian Mail.)
On Sunday, the 30th June, the residents of Tipperary
Gully were aroused by the cries of " Roll up," and in the
course of a very short time upwards of a thousand men,
armed with bludgeons and pickhandles, no fire-arms as yet
appearing, were assembled round the " No Chinehe't stan-
dard. Forming themselves in a rude kind of order of march,
and with a band of music, which appears to have been
thoughtfully provided for the occasion by the leaders of the
movement, at their head, shouting, yelling,'and singing, the
crowd of rioters took the road to Lambing Flat, a distance
of some four or five miles. Arrived tlfere, every Chinese
resident in the township on whom hands could be laid was
attacked and maltreated, the chief object of ambition being
to secure the long tails of hair with which the Chinese are
accustomed to ornament their heads. The main body was
here joined by numerous others, who came flocking in from
all quarters, until the number assembled amounted to at
least 3,000 persons. Finding themselves so strong, and
being determined to make a clean sweep of the Mongolians
now that they were about it, they now turned their atten-
tion to the Chinese camp, situated on the spot and within
the area allocated to them by the Commissioner in accord-
ance with the regulations previously made, and apparently
agreed to by the diggers. This was at once attacked and
carried, the Chinese being driven off, under circumstances
of great barbarity in some cases, and all cases without being
permitted to take with them any of their property. It has
been said also that many of them were robbed of various
amounts of gold and cash; and that, mixed up with the
crowd of rioters were numbers of women and children,
all actively engaged in plundering the property of the
runaways of everything valuable, or convertible, prior to
carrying the remainder to the enormous fires that were kept
Up with such kind of fuel. In the meantime the band,
placed in a conspicuous position, enlivened the scene by
playing spirit•stirring airs, to an accompaniment of
yell, and shouts that would have done credit to a New
Zealand war dance. Excited with their triumph, heated with
their violence towards unresisting captives, and possibly
Ear Quo asoucv... Jima-
given them a taste, a wild and savage yell of joy was
raised, when some one suggested Back Creek as the next
spot to visit. Shouting, firing (for guns were now pretty
generally produced), singing, laughing, and cheering, the
body of rioters moved off towards Back Creek, a locality
about six miles from where they then were, and where it
was known that:there were several hundreds of Chinese at
work. Information of the projected attack was, however,
taken over to the Chinese in this locality, who, hastily
packing up the most valuable and portable portions of their
property, hurriedly made off from the spot. The rioters
were not long behind them, and on coming up, a savage
yell of disappointment rose up from the mob when they
found that their prey had escaped. The tents, goods, &c.,
left behind were fired, after having been looked over for
plunder;,, and such articles as would not burn were de-
stroyed by being broken with axes. Whilst this had been
going on, a number of the rioters, who were mounted on
horseback, galloped forward on the track of the retreating
Mongols, overtook them, not much more than a mile away,
headed them, and rounded them up in the same way as a
shepherd dog would do a flock of sheep. Information of
the surround was sent off to those behind, who, eager for
their prey, were already on the road. Here ensued a scene
such as, thank heaven, it seldom falls to the lot of a Bri-
tish journalist to record. Unarmed, defenceless, and un-
resisting Chinese were shuck down in the most brutal
manner by bludgeons provided for the occasion, and by pick
handles. The previous excitement had done its work, and
now the wretched Mongols were openly and unblushingly
searched for valuables, and robbery was committed with

TRUE _ALoI Orm.nAkti.TORAH.CEA ;
with the View to the Correction of wide-spread Errors
in relation to the Treatment and Cure of Sufferers from De-
bility of the Generative system, or Sexual Hypochrondriasis.

Translated from the German of Dr. PIekFORD.

" Dr. Pickford is known to English readers by his frequent
practical contributions to German medical literature. This
is the first time, he informs us, that he has addressed himself
to the non-medical reader. We trust that this may not be the
last, if he shall detect any other equally flagrant evil which it
may be in his power to correct."—London Medical Gazette.
- - -

" The editor has conferred a great boon on the sufferers
from this distressing malady by translating this little book,
and by laying bare the scandalous practices of unqualified
adventurers, who profess to cure a disease of which they
know nothing, with no other object than to fill their own
purses. The difference between true Spermatorrhcea and the
various forms of disease which resemble it are accurately de-
scribed, and thus a safe guide is offered for the treatment of
the malady."—Medical Circular.

" We have dilated so long upon the contents of the preli-
minary chapter, that we have scarcely left ourselves space for
any notice of the subject specially treated of by Dr. Pickford ;
but the moderate price at which the brochure' is sold, places
it within the reach of every one interested in the matter."—
Dublin Medical Press.

out the slightest attempt at concealment. Very few of the
poor creatures here attacked escaped with their pig-tails,
none of them without injury of some kind, whilst every
article of the property they had endeavoured to take with
theni was plundered of all that was valuable, and then
burnt. Some of the acts of barbarism said to have
been committed here were such, that English-
men can scarce be brought to credit that
their countrymen could be guilty of them—for who amongst
the British people could ever believe that men of their own
country, Britons, would take the Chinese pigtails with the
scalp attached ? That this was done in more than one in-
stance there can be no doubt, since the possessors of these
trophies made no concealment of them, but rather prided
themselves on their possession.
Some of the scenes that then took place are thus described
by our special' correspondent :—Men, or rather monsters,
on horseback, armed with bludgeons and whips, with a
fiend- like fury, securing the unfortunate creatures by taking
hold of their tails and pulling their heads, so that they came
with their backs to the horse and their heads upon the sad-
dle, and then cutting, or rather sawing them off, and leaving
them to the fury of others who surrounded them. Ono
unfortunate Chinese boy went down upon his knees, the
tears ran down hisXcheeks as he lifted his hands and pleaded
for mercy; a ruffian, with a bludgeon sufficient to kill a
giant, with one blow felled him to the ground. Another
unfortunate creature, a cripple, was trying to crawl away
into the bush—he could not walk—and endeavouring to
take a blanket; it was ruthlessly torn from him and carried
to oa— to,er. +heir property was being consumed. Here
was to be seen another pronreo
head laid open, and the bloo I running down his face—truly
terrible to behold. But these details are sickening. I have
only mentioned what came ender my own notice. Were 1
to narrate only a tithe of the atrocities committed that day,
that have been communicated to me, it would fill a volume.
Mr. Henley, the Chinese interpreter, in a letter he has ad-
dressed to the Governor, detailing his view of this outrage,
mentions the following :—A European woman with three
small children, who is the wife of a Chinaman, was sitting
in her tent rocking her baby in the cradle. The lawless mob
burned down her tent, and her cradle wherein the infant was
sleeping. Her own and children's clothes were torn to pieces
by a lot of vagabonds, who counselled together for the
violation of the woman and murder of the children, but
were prevented by the timely interference of some of their
number less hardened than the others.

Church). London, by RALPH BRIGHT, M.D., Member of the
Roya' College of Surgeons, England, Licentiate of the Royal
College of Physieians, Edinbu gh, Arc., &c. ; author of

clothes fit admirably, too well, indeed, in the
opinion of one who thinks that a soldier's dress
should be made like a sportsman's, loose, and suited
to his work as hunter of men. The ranks as they
stood in column were wonderfully dressed, every
bayonet even covering. Their marching past was
excellent as far as steadiness; it was in quick time,
about eight paces (116) in the minute quicker than
ours. Slow time, that barbarous relic of pigtail
days, is quite exploded in the Prussian army,
but they are not without an equivalent to it,
for in marching past on parade occasions they are
taught to prance, i.e., to bend and raise the knee like
a high-stepping cab horse. This in a parade quad-
ruped is a showy and highly prized and priced qua-
lity, but the Prussians may, perhaps, some day find
it equally costly as applied to bipeds, for it is a most
unnatural action, which must take time to acquire,
which would be more profitably spent, especially by
three-year-old soldiers, in more useful and necessary
training, and on the field of battle the result of such
waste of time may perchance cost the nation dear.
These special parade movements appear to me more-
over a mistake. Why should parade marching be
anything more than ordinary marching done as per-
fectly as possible ? A parade is intended to be an
imposing spectacle. It would be made much more
so by giving it a practical character and showing an
army in all the perfection of its natural efficiency,
instead of forcing men into unnatural attitudes and
action. The cavalry look well, and the men ride
particularly well; perhaps a thought too short,
though it is the best side to err on ; and even all the
infantry officers appear to be at home on horseback.
The horses are slight, but have evidently plenty of
blood, and are said-to stand their wortrwell: Abicint
them I have seen some very pretty chargers. The
tutilluzy hvieeu certainly appear too light for their
draught, and the pole of the carriage, which hangs
down and looks as if made to trip up the wheelers,
cannot contribute to their efficiency. There appears
to be another serious defect in the construction of
the gun carriages—that the wheels of the carriages
are smaller than those of the limber, and are neces-
sarily not interchangeable. Another criticism made
upon their batteries is, that they have only four guns
in a battery and no ammunition waggons. In war
the battery is increased to eight guns, which is more,
it is said, than one officer can command, more espe-
cially in these days of universal concussion shells
which artillery authorities say will necessitate the
adoption of wider intervals between the guns. An
artillery driver takes a long time to make, and I
should think he would, unless in constant exercise,
get rusty, and when they have to increase the
strength of their batteries, it must require time to
get them into a thorough state of efficiency. They
had four batteries (I think) of breechloading guns.
I do not believe they have any advantage over ours,
indeed, they are not such business-looking tools as
the Armstrong, and in sundry instances the breech
gun was seen to stick and cause delay in loading.
Their projectile, however ;which, like ours, is
coated with lead—neverstrips ; which is more than
can be said of ours. This is a defect which can, I
believe, be easily remedied. It is, however, a serious
one, which should be attended to without delay, as
it renders firing over the heads of our own troops
dangerous, and, with these long-ranged rifle guns,
this practice will probably be more resorted to than
heretofore.

tioned, but heedless of this they endeavoured to make the
rush. Orders were given to the foot police to fire, and,
two volleys were poured in steadily to the advancing
masses, shivering the head of the attack, and
causing it to fall back in disorder upon those behind.
At this moment, the mounted men, who had been
'posted at the rear of the camp, were ordered to
take advantage of this confusion, and make a final charge;
and no sooner was the order issued than the cavalry were
amongst the' 'disorganised mass, galloping through and
through it, sabreing on all sides, and driving the now help-
less, but still vindictive, crowd back across the creek.
Captain Zouch's account of the conflict, as forwarded by
telegrain to the Government, is as follows :
The mob came on the camp at a quarter to eight last
night, after.nending,in four delegates to speak to the Com-
missioner; demanded the release of the prisoners ; and gra-
dually moved forward, evidently intending to rush the
place. A division' of patrol, under Mr. M'Lerie, was
orderted to clear the ground, and was immediately fired upon
by the. rioters. The patrol charged well, night though it
was, and rlris"'ve numbers over the banks of the creek, the
foot patrol firing into the mob; but it was not till three
charges had been delivered, and the firing at intervals con-
tinued for more than two hours, before the rioters with.
drew. Every man did his duty as well as men could do it.
Three men of the patrol were wounded—two gunshot
wounds in one arm and one contused ; one horse which
dropped was recovered with four balls in him, and two
horses missing wounded. Of the rioters, we know of one
killed, and several wounded. As soon as I can ascertain
losses I will inform you. The darkness prevented our
making any prisoners.

After this defeat the mob sullenly withdrew, with a threat,
however, of returning on the following day, better armed
and better prepared for their work. On the following
morning, Menday, the three men who had been arrested,
and for whose release so much blood had been shed, were
brought up, examined, and committed for trial, but were
subsequently admitted to bail. Of the course that Mr
Zoueh afterwards found it necessary to,:pll it

and more. Attack commenced at a quarter to eight o'clock,
and by ten o'clock we drove them off, killing and wounding
many. Three, wo know, are dead, and we have heard of
numbers wounded. My report will explain all. Seven spe-
cial constables came to the camp—two only armed. There
was no response to the call made to the respectable part
of the community. Position I found untenable against the
numbers that were prepared to revenge the defeat•of Sunday
night. Some 3,000, better prepared and organised, were to
attack, and had sworn to destroy the whole of us. I have
brought away the whole force, wounded included.
When the police authorities determined upon evacuating
their position, our special correspondent, whose life had been
threatened by the ringleaders in the riot, on account of
the too truthtul way in which he had dealt with their pro-
ceedings, left Lambing Flat, and fell back upon Yass, and
we are without positive information in regard to the subse-
quent proceedings of the rioters, or to the number of killed
and wounded in the repulse of Sunday night ; but this gen-
tleman telegrams from Yass to say that three men killed on
that night were buried on Tuesday, 16th, and that at the
funeral of one of them, forty men bandaged for wounds
were present, and that it was currently reported that over a
hundred had been more or less wounded,

Immediately on the receipt of this intelligence by the
Government the Commander of the Forces was communi-
cated with, and orders were at once given to forward on to
Burrangong detachments of the 12th Regiment, of the
Artillery, of mounted and foot police, and of blue jackets
from H.M. S. Fawn (whose services were offered by Captain
Kater), the various detachments amounting to 225 men,
which, with the police of the district, will give a total
effective force of 280 men. Arrangements were made with
the mail contractors to carry up to Goulburn in twenty-
four hours fifty men per diem for such period as the
Government may require. At Goulburn, the inhabitants
have nobly come forward, and placed every means of con-
veyance in their possession, with horses and all requisites,
at the disposal of the Government for the conveyance of
troops and police, and no time will consequently be lost in
forwarding them on from Goulburn to Lambing Flat.
On Wednesday, a first detachment of infantry, artillery,
and police left Sidney by rail, and was followed on the fol-
lowing day by 75 blue jackets, under Capt. Rater.
In the meantime, the Burrangong Gold-fields remain in-
disputably in the hands of the rioters. All those who have
property to lose are leaving them as fast as they possibly
can; the managers of the branches of the three banks esta-

Wished there having come into Yass on Wednesday, 17th,
for security, bringing with them 4,500 ounces of gold. No
attack has been made upon the stores, though they had all
been searchod for arms and ammunition. Nothing else had
been taken, as the leaders who now prominently direct
every movement declare that they will not allow robbery.
Business of every kind is suspended on the ground, and there
appears to be a general impression that the rioters have
determined upon holding out to the last.

The breech-loading rifle is now almost entirely
the arm of the infantry ; they speak highly of its
performances at 600 and 700 yards, and an officer
has promised to come to Wimbledon next year with
one of their best soldier shots, so that we shall have
an opportunity of judging. The needle which ignites
the charge passes through the powder, which thus
burns backwards towards the breech, and every
particle is necessarily ignited and no power wasted.
I beard no complaints of the men firing away their
ammunition too quickly, and at these manoeuvres,
with only 15 or 20 rounds, they never find their
supply run short. At a pinch they can fire 5 rounds
a minute. I timed them several times, and found
they fired volleys at the rate of 1 in 20 to 24 seconds.
I was told by an of that they could fire a volley
at cavalry charging at 100 yards, load, and fire a
second volley before the troopers could reach the
line or square. Their knapsacks look heavy, and
appear to naug, low ; tucteea, as a French officer said

;o me, " Alais ce qu'ily a de detestable, ce sont leurs

sacs." It is, however, only in appearance, for I tried
one, and found it extremely comfortable, as it is
made to fit the back, and by being attached in front
to the waistbelt, on which the cartridge pouches
hang, it balances well, and it has the great merit of
not cutting the arm, and being so constructed that
a man can unaided put it on and off, which strange
to say is not the case with ours. The officers
all carry a small knapsack, which I likewise
tried and found comfortable and well suited foi

observes :—•
that the right of force is identical with force of
right, and now in quoting from Tacitus and minds exercise themselves, now in
Cor-
neille the apology of etesarism ; when we come
from a country where such things find a public and
official encouragement ; where the litterateurs, de-
corated and undecorated, who direct the greater
part of the press, where all those proud champions
of liberty of thought, are unanimous in proclaiming,
as a patriotic exploit the act of the general whom
they congratulate on having applied, morally, two
slaps on the face to an ecclesiastic;; when we get
out of that foeted atmosphere into a pure air, we
experience an unspeakable relief on finding honest
people even in servitude to a despotism which they
have neither created, nor accepted, nor merited.
" What revolts, discourages, and frightens the
honest mind in the time we live in is not the
triumph of roguery or violence ; the history of the
world is full of such pernicious lessons; but was
there ever a period known in which the triumph of
evil was more speedily and more easily accepted ?
Was there ever less sympathy for the victim of
fortune, more indifference for unsuccessful courage
or for right oppressed, or when the crushing of the
weak by the strong was more quickly ranged
among irrevocable facts and invested with the
prestige attached to irrevocable judgments ? Hence
a doubt which seems legitimate. Assuredly, there
have been worse miscreants, and, above all, worse
tyrants than those of the present day ; but for suc-
cessful iniquity and plausible tyranny, have they
ever met, with honest men, so much indifference,
so much indulgence, and, not to mince the matter,
so much approbation ?
" Such is not the case with Poland. She has never
shown the interested complacency nor the base and
cowardly servility of the flatterers of success.
Poland has profited by no iniquity ; she has made
no compact with lying. To those who sought to
corrupt her, to turn her to account, or to repress
her, she has always repeated the energetic and reso-
lute No !' which neither Kings nor people dare any
longer to repeat to triumphant iniquity. National
independence is an inestimable blessing, but is there
not a blessing still more precious and more sacred,
and the loss of which is more irreparable ? Is it
not national morality ? To lose one's nationality
is indeed a dire calamity. But one may conceive,
and may even undergo sacrifices still more painful,
and above all more disgraceful. There is still some-
thing worse than to be conquered and enslaved by
the foreigner—it is to spontaneously abdicate
liberty, truth, and honour, in order to serve false-
hood and crime. Some pages written three cen-
turies ago, and entitled ' Voluntary Servitude,' have
mad" the name of Boetius immortal. What he
stigmatised as the worst of humiliations has been
again found, and will again be found, in the history
of nations, as in that of minds. But the history
of Poland presents a glorious exception. Upon her
can be found no such stigma."
M. de Montalembert pays a noble tribute to the
memory of Prince Adam Czartoryskip and expresses
full confidence in the future of a country which can
produce men of such a stamp. He recalls with
pride the protests of the French Parliaments in
which he himself took so large a part, in favour of
Poland. "We did not fail in our duty," he says,
" When we solemnly protested, aided by a publi,
city the most sincere and most complete that ever
existed, for right against force; when we struggled
against indifference and forgetfulness; when we
cherished the sacred flame of honest indignation ;
when we prevented the establishment of prescrip-
tion for the advantage of iniquity. In spite of the
contemptuous disdain which the press of the ante-
chamber now affects towards us, we have nothing to
regret. The famous words, 'Polish nationality will
not perish,' heard 30 years ago from a constitutional
throne, are now more than ever a truth. Those
words, which I then repeated with the ardent inex-
perience of youth, I now again repeat with the
rooted conviction of ripe age. Yes, Poland will
have another birth. She has twice lived already.
She has disclosed to the world her existence by a
moral victory, of which her own history, of which
contemporaneous history does not present a second

say ; but I heard a French officer remark " qui'l y
avait beacoup de resemblance entre ce
peuple et
celui de la France, et qu'ils portaient tous la blouse
coinme chez nous." The King, however, has been
well received wherever he has appeared, and patrio-
tic songs are sung by the Cologne and other choirs
to the tune that the Rhine must be defended, Last
night our proceedings closed with a general toast-
drinking and embracing at our last dinner at Disch'i
Hotel, where all the foreign officers have daily
dined at the King's expense, at one friedrich d'or
per head. It was a curious scene. The Germans
showed unmistakably what value they set upon the
English alliance, and many were the wishes pri-
vately expressed that we might always remain
" treue Freunde," and much was said of the neces-
sity of our being so.

P.S.—I have omitted to notice that the average

behalf of--P-eland-rand M. de Montalember ,may
~indooc appeal to hie long services in that glori-
ous cause as his claim to be heard once more in
its behalf as a writer. He has acquired a consi-
derable mass of information during his late sojourn
in Poland, and he has communicated it to the public
in the last number of the Correspondant—a
monthly periodical which, as you are aware, one
celebrated prosecution and the menace of another
have identified with his name. It would be difficult
for such a man to treat any topic wit Lout adorn-
ing it, and even Poland acquires new interest
from a pen like his.

Of the actual condition of the Polish pcoplo he
draws the following picture :=
"Let the man who knows the Paris of 1861
figure to himself a whole nation IA hich dreams
neither of amusement nor of money-making.

Poland thinks only of her past and her future.
She is absorbed by her sorrows and her hopes.
In presence of modern civilisation, which looks but
to lucre and pleasure, which denies the existence of
pain, and which enervates the will, she suffers and
she wills. Her suffering is incurable; her will is
invincible. With her all is grave, sad, and sombre.

With such facts before their very eyes, it is net to be
wondered at that the feeling of the large bulk of the
resi-
dents on the spot is greatly against the perpetrators of so
gross an outrage, and that expressions of the utmost indig-
nation have been most freely made use of.
So extensive and savage an outbreak could not fail in at
once opening the eyes of all to the real position in which
the authorities at Lambing Flat were placed, and now at
last was done that which should have been done long before.
The electric telegraph was set to work, and all the available
police from the districts round about were ordered up to
Burrangong. Captain Zouch, with the troopers of the
mounted patrol, arrived there on the evening of the 6th
instant. Several men of the foot police came up from
ftime to time, until the total number of the force, horse and
oot, reached 57.
On the following day, Sunday, the 7th inst., there was a
very large assemblage of diggers and others in the township,
and though rather boisterous, there was no rieting.
Things remained in a perfect state of quiescence during
the week, and it was imagined by some that this outrage,
like those which had preceded it, was to be allowed to die
quietly out of memory. But in the interim, explicit instruc-
tions had been received from the Government to enforce
the law by apprehending every one of the ringleaders in the
last riot who could be identified. No opportunity of carry-
ing these instructions into execution occurred until Sunday,
the 14th inst., on which day, from the diggers being unem-
ployed in their holes, and therefore, out and about, and
generally assembling in the township, the police identified
and arrested three of the ringleaders in the late riot. The
news of this arrest spread like wildfire along the diggings,
and the cry of "Roll-up I" was quickly raised in Tipperary
Gully, which appears by all accounts to be the centre of all
disturbance. The alarm thus raised quickly brought up an
armed mob, the number of which has been variously esti-
mated at from 500 to 1,000 persons, which, under self-con-
stituted leaders, who appeared to start up ready for the
occasion, at once marched up to the camp, Intelligence
of the advance was given to the authorities, who speedily
put the camp into a state of defence, and placed their men
in such positions as to offer the most effectual resistance in
the event of violence being attempted.
Shortly before eight p.na., the mob, all fully armed, drew
up in front of the camp ; but, before proceeding to extre-
mities, sent in four delegates to have an interview with the
Commissioners. They were met by Captain Zouch, of the
mounted patrol, and. Commissioner Griffin; and, in the first
place, asked if any, and what number, had been arrested
with respect to the late riots. They were informed that,
three were arrested ; they then stated that they were re-
quested to demand their release. Both Captain Zouch and
Mr. Griffin firmly yet coolly declined to release the pri-
sone;rs, informing the deputation at the same time that the
Jaw must take its course—that the parties arrested would
be brought before the court on Monday morning, and would
then be dealt with on the evidence produced against them.
With this reply, the delegates went moodily back, but
before Captain Zouch could get back, a volley was fired
from the mob, at the Camp. Mr. Griffin then went forward
and read the Riot Act, which was treated with derisive
laughter by the mob, who still approached the Camp, with
cries of " Roll up," "Release the prisoners." Every
endeavour was made and caution given that could be cal-
culated to induce them to desist. Orders were at last
given to fire, and then one volley was fired over theit head 9.
This did not appear to intimidate them, and at last the
mounted troopers were ordered to the front. They had
scarcely drawn up when a volley was fired, and two of the
troopers' horses fell. The excitement here became intense,
and the troopers were ordered to charge, but not to fire.

The mob now closed in and approached the camp, evidently
with the inte.utiou of rushing it, They were again Oati-

rouleau round the body, passing over the left
shoulder and over the knapsack, which prevents its
pressing on and keeping the body hot. The worst
part of their dress appears to be their boots—short,
clumsy-looking wellingtons, which do not show t.)

With her everything bears the impress of one in-
flexible determination—that of accepting neither
peace, nor prosperity, nor security, and of never

leaving either to her masters till justice is done her.
That justice is a debt of God ! It will be paid. Cost
what it may it will be paid; and until it be paid we
will protest, and none shall ever force us to a com-
promise with iniquity. This is the dominant thought
of Poland. It is this which speaks in her looks, in
her words, even in every gesture of her children.
It is the ever recurring theme in her conversation,
in every prayer, in every by mn ; it is found in the
chorus of the famous canticle which is heard at this
moment in every church and in every thoroughfare
of Poland—' Lord God ! restore to us our country;
restore to us our liberty !'
"Meantime her mourning is complete and uni-
versal. A people gay by temperament, ardent for
show and pleasure, now totally refrain from them.
Theatres are abandoned, gardens deserted, public
and private festivities suppressed. The dance, of
all pastimes the most popular among the Poles, as
among the Hungarians and the Spaniards, is strictly
prohibited, even in the interior of families. Every
woman dresses from bead to foot in black. They
who so much love ornament, and for which they
are so well formed, have unanimously renounced
every colour but that of. mourning. For the last
six months the practice has been adopted from one
end of Poland to the other, in sign of reprobation
and indignation, but also as a pledge of union and
reconciliation. The parties which once divided
Poland arc now but one ; all differences are sus-
pended, forgotten, or lie hidden beneath the funeral
habiliments of the common country. No prohibi-
tion, no violence, no cruelty even (and several acts
of cruelty have been committed against persons
wearing mourning met by the Russian soldiers in
the streets) can put a stop to this terrible and mute
declaration of war." " The churches resound with
the music of mournful chants, mingled with aspi-
rations for a happy resurrection. The words of the
verse of the old Litany, From pestilence, fire, and
war, deliver us, Lord,' have been changed; they are
now ' From pestilence, fire, and Muscovite servi-
tude, deliver us, Lord.' "

" I have heard and admired," says M. de Monta-
lem bert,—

"All the masterpieces of religious or profane
music, ancient or modern, but neither the boasted
marvels of the Sistine Chapel nor the enchanting
harmonies of Gluck or Beethoven have ever affected
me so much as that chant inspired by the ardent
inspiration of faith, of sorrow, and of patriotism,
and which penetrates the deep mysteries of all.
Every time those truly celestial sounds struck my
ear, whether in the full choir or in a modest village
church, when th© organ alternated with the voice
of the peasant, or when the tremulous voice of child-
hood or the sweet accents of the youthful maiden
were heard in a lone garden or by the hearth-
stone, that melody seemed to me like something
superhuman. Never were imploring accents
expressed in sweeter, more searching, and
more passionate modulations. I pity the man who
could hear them without his heart thrilling with
anguish and his eye being wet with tears as the
plaintive notes rise and fall in a cadence each time
and more pathetic, until the closing invocation is
heard in an irresistible burst of anguish and of
love. But what must be the feelings of those who
have heard it rush forth, like a torrent of fire, from
the lips of twenty thousand, of fifty thousand Chris-
tians at the same moment, standing up, unarmed,
before their bewildered oppressors—of multitudes
determined not to combat but to die, and breathing
in the agony of death, and with their last sigh, a
defiance and a protest—this irresistible appeal to
the avenging Omnipotence of Heaven ! It is at
once the cry of a soul and the cry of a nation, both
bowed down beneath the bitterest of
both inflamed by the most fervent faith. It is the
of tenderness, which would force through cry of anguish and of confidence, of retphroachh andteh

and which is heard in every phurch and in every
public place in Poland,—
" This, then, is the Marseillaise of these singular

Poland differs, and in what it always has differed,
from the cause of revolution throughout the rest of
Europe."

attempt to keep them out of the mud. A soldier
without leggings, or loose trousers which do not
drag, is a comparatively inefficient animal, for his
powers of marching are sadly interfered with by
trousers draggling in the mud. The general im-
pression, I think, produced by these man ceuvres on
military men, as regards the Prussian army, is
highly favourable to the physique and character
of the soldier, but their tactics and formation are not

suited to the days of canons rayes and armes de
precision. The men are thoroughly well drilled,
they are kept well in hand, and stand their work

well; indeed, I saw none fall out as one might have
expected, for they have had long marches, bivouacs
in bad nights, and very trashing work. The officers,
too, appear to know their duty thoroughly, and to
take a pride in their profession ; but, if the Prussia'

army is to becothe an efficient shield to Germany,
.. _ _

considerable changes will have to be made in their
tactics and formation. Attacks in column and for-

example. The events of Warsaw are as a battle won,

The artillery will have to be kept more in advance,
and its fire more concentrated ; and, above all, the

cavalry must not be sent to charge villages strongly
occupied by infantry and artillery, us has been seen
in the course of these manoeuvres. The reasons

assigned for retaining column and solid square for-
mation is that their soldiers are young, and that
their courage rises by companionship and being
kept together in masses, This might be the case
until shells such as the Armstrongs, &c., come into
use, but in five minutes columns and squares such
as these must be utterly annihilated. These are
the opinions I have gathered from the various
military lookers-on; but, on the other hand, the
Prussians say all this would be changed in war.
Then, alas ! it will be too late. Changes such as
are required cannot be made in the face of the
enemy, for in these days of railways and rapid
concentration of troops war will be short and

decisive, and victory will be with the army that
entErs the field the most thoroughly prepared.

Whatever defects, however, there may be in their
infantry and artillery the impression produced by
the cavalry is, I think, highly favourable. Yesterday

the manoeuvres were closed by their trotting past,
and nothing could look better than the horses and

people. That sympathy_may be often, and even long,
powerless; but the cause which has it not is con-
demned to perish ignominously. Hail, then,

cherished and noble Poland! If God prolong your
trial, it is to render you worthy of a glorious eman-

These manoeuvres must certainly be of great service
to the army, as they are, in fact, a short campaign ;

M. de Montalembert affirms that Poland has
never yet for one moment become reconciled to her
servitude. What she demanded in 1839, in 1816,
in 1791, she now demands; she is resolved to get it;
anu bue is convinced that she will get it, doubt-
less by other means than at these periods, but
with the same resolution and the sable unanimity.

HEALTH OF LONDON _DURING, THE WEEK.

(Prom the Registrar-General's Weekly Return.)
The deaths registered in London in the week that
ended last Saturday were 1,126, which is nearly
the same as the numbers returned in three previous
weeks. The average number of deaths in the cor-
responding weeks of ten previous years, 1851-60,
after the correction for increase of population, is
1,234 ; but if the deaths caused by epidemic cholera
in the 38th week of 1354 are not admitted into the
data on which the calculation is made, it will ap-
pear that the mortality of last week differs little
from the estimated amount. _ _

The deaths from diarrhoea, which fell from 183
in the last week of August to 147 in the first week
of the present month, continued to decline in the
subsequent weeks, and in the present return they
are 105. Six persons died last -week from cholera
