POLAND.

Mr. lIENNESSY asked the Secretary of State for
Foreign Affairs when the papers relating to Poland would
be laid upon the table of the house ; whether the despatch
(from Viscount Palmerston to Prince Talleyrand), which
contains the statement that " the rights of the Czar are in-
contes: able," would appear with the other papers ; and, if
not, whether that despatch was authentic ; and what were
the reasons which influenced her Majesty's Government in
withholding its contents from the house ?
Lord J. RUSSELL said that as the correspondence had
taken place whilst his noble friend at the head of the Go-
vernment was Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, he
had thought better to consult his noble friend as to the pro-
priety of procuring it. His noble friend had not as yet had
time to consider the subject.

THE BARON DE VlDlL.—After the baron had
been committed to take his trial he was at once conveyed
to the gaol of Newgate in a cab, in the' charge of Thorntonand Williamson, the detectives. During the journey it
appears that he did not say a word, and upon his
arrival at
the gaol Mr. Wontner, his solicitor
was in attendance, and
after the baron had been formally received into the custody
of Mr. Jonas, the governor'
they had a short consultation
together upon the subject
P as it was
understood, of the neces-
sary steps to be taken to procure the liberation of the pri-
soner upon bail. The restraint of personal liberty to which he
had been subjected appeared to be very irksome to the baron,
and he requested his professional adviser to take the neces-
sary steps by applying to a judge to
have him released upon
bail as soon as possible.
The public is aware that prisoners
before trial are allowed many facilities that are denied to
them after conviction, and although the gaol regulations
are very strict, still it may be as well to state, that under
the present arrangements the baron will not have to undergo
any degrading association with other prisoners. He is, as
already stated, committed upon the charge of feloniously
wounding his son with intent to murder him, which is a
capital charge ; but it appears that a conviction has never
been known to have taken place for this particular offence
except in cases where a deadly weapon, such as a pistol or a
knife, was made use of, and it is the opinion of well-informed
legal authorities, that in the event of any conviction

TURNER'S PICTURES.

Lord H. LENNOX asked the Chief Commissioner of
Works if any plans had been prepared under his sanction
for erecting a building behind the National Gallery, in Tra-
falgar-square, for the reception of the " Turner Pictures,"
and if so, whether it was in contemplation to commence the
execution of any such plans without previously obtaining
I the direct sanction of Parliament ? _ _ _

Mr. COWPER said that the improvements which had
been made in the National Gallery were so arranged as to
assist any large plan that might be adopted for extending
the National Gallery in the rear over the site now occupied
by the barracks and St. Martin's Workhouse. He had plans
in his possession showing how accommodation might be
provided in that direction for all the pictures, ancient and
modern, which might be entrusted to the National Gallery.
A separate wing could at any time be erected for the Turner
pictures. Government not having, however, considered
these plans, he could not say what steps might hereafter be
adopted.
Lord H. LENNOX—WiII the right hon. gentleman give
me an assurance that whatever decision Gevernment may
come to, nothing will be done without the express sanction
of Parliament first obtained ?
Mr. COWPER—I entirely decline to enter into any
pledge on the subject. I certainly do not contemplate any-
thing like erecting a building without the direct sanction of
Parliament, but I do not conceive that the noble lord has a
right to get up in his place, and ask me to give a pledge not
to do that which I am not at all likely to do.
Lord H. LENNOX would recur to the subject on going
into supply on Friday next.
PORTO NOVO.

Mr. H. SEYMOUR asked the Secretary of State for
Foreign Affairs if he would lay upon the table of the house
a copy of any despatches connected with the attack on
Porto Novo in the month of May last?
Lord J. RUSSELL was understood to say that the de-
spatches of the naval and military commanders would be
produced.

POLAND.

Mr. HENNESSY asked the Secretary of State for
Foreign Affairs when the papers relating to Poland would
be laid upon the table of the house ; whether the despatch
(from Viscount Palmerston to Prince Talleyrand), which
contains the statement that "the rights of the Czar are in..
contestable," would appear with the other papers; and, if
not, whether that despatch was authentic ; and what were
the reasons which influenced her Majesty's Government in
withholding its contents from the house ?
Lord J. RUSSELL said that as the correspondence bad
taken place whilst his noble friend at the head of the Go-
vernment was Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, he
had thought better to consult his noble friend as to the Pro-
priety of procuring it. His noble friend had not as yet had
time to coasider the subject.

THE RECENT CENSUS OF THE

UNIZED KINGDOM.

TO THE EDITOR OP THE SUN.

STR,—The unrevised numbers of the population
enumerated at the late Census have already been
published in your columns for England and Ireland,
and those for Scotland having just been ascertained
by the officials at Edinburgh, the result for the
entire country may now be stated, The total num-
ber of inhabitants of the United Kingdom, includ-
ing the islands in the British seas, may be set down
as not less than 29,031,164. Of these 20,061,725
were numbered in England and Wales, 3,061,117
in Scotland, 5,704,543 in Ireland, and 143,779 in
the Channel Islands and Isle of Man. The army
serving abroad and in Ireland and the navy and
merchant seamen absent at sea are not included.

In Ireland an unparalleled emigration, continued
from the period of the failure of the potato crop in
that country, has diminished the population by
787,842 persons, or 12 per cent., exactly the decen-
nial rate of increase in England, since the census of
1851. According to the returns, 1,230,986 Irish and
823,837 natives of Great Britain emigrated in the
decade. Notwithstanding this exodus and other
circumstances calculated to retard the rate of in-
crease, such as the Russian war, an epidemic of
cholera, the Sepoy mutiny, commercial crisis, and the
strikes, we have a solid addition of more than a
million and a half to the population of the United
Kingdom—a fact sufficiently significant of the
perennial vigour and progress of the country.—l
have the honour to be, Sir, your obedient servant,
JAMES T, HAMMACK.

GAWTREY V. GAWTREY.

This was a suit by Robert Gawtrey, a clerk, in
the employment of Messrs. Barber and Co., of
Leadenhall-street, on the ground of his wife's adul-
tery with persons not known.
There was no defence, and it appeared that the
parties had been married for several years, and co-
habited until 1857, notwithstanding that the re-
spondent was very intemperate in her habits, and
most violent in her conduct towards the petitioner.
In the year in question she went to Weymouth, and
remained twelve months absent from her husband.
On her return the petitioner perceived that she was
in a state of pregnancy. The drunkenness and
profligacy of the respondent were represented to be
of the most barefaced character, and
The Court pronounced the decree nisi.
Mr. Maconochie was counsel for the petitioner.

The Akbar yesterday embarked at Spithead the
officers and troops, for conveyance to the Mauritius
and Ceylon. She sails for her destination this
morning, calling at Queenstown to take in other
detachments.
Cupolas for melting the iron for filling Martin's
liquid shells have jest been supplied to the whole
of tittlithnaiek,i4Lthe Chatham district in the fol-
lowing proportions, viz. :—Sheerness, 11 ; Tilbury
Fort, two ; New Tavern Fort, Gravesend, two ;
Coalhouse point, two; and Shornmeade, one. The
cupola consists of a cylindrical shell of wrought-
iron, lined with fire-brick, having a blast fan at-
tached. Connected with the cupola is a fan for
raising the necessary heat for melting the iron.
This fan can be driven by either manual labour or
steam power. A ton of metal can be melted in 30
minutes after the fan has been set in motion. In
consequence of the forts at Coalhouse-point and
Shornmeade having been dismantled, the cupolas
for those batteries have been landed at Tilbury
Fort, until the reconstruction of the fortifications.
A. substance used for preserving these expensive
contrivances from the injurious effects of the
weather has been received at the different stations
to which the cupolas have been supplied.

EXPORTS FROM THE MUTED KINGDOM.

A statement lately published of the value of the
experts from the 12 principal ports of the United
Kingdom during the past year shows the relative
progress or retrogression in the trade of each. The
aggregate increase is 4 per cent. over 1859, but
some ports figure for a more considerable augmen-
tation, and others exhibit a falling off. The export
trade of London presents an increase of per cent.;
Liverpool, 41- ; Hull, 111; Bristol, 7f, ; Southamp-
ton, 61 ; Leith, 18 ; and Glasgow, t. Newcastle
has been stationary. The ports that show a dimi-
nution are—Dublin, 24 per cent.; Cork, 18i ;
Greenock, 48 ; and Belfast, 92. The totals of the
two latter, however, in 1859 were exceptionally
heavy, and the present falling off is merely a return
to about their ordinary amount. Subjoined are the
exact returns :

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day.)

M
ARLIIOROUGH- R
ST EET.
A SHAM DETECTIVE.—ATTEMPTED SUlClDE.—Francis
Adams, a 'young man of respectable appearance, residing at
Notting Hill, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt, with being
drunk, falsely
representing himself as a detective, and at-
tempting to commit suicide.
Inspector Holden said—Early this morning the defen-
dant was brought to the Vine-street station with a young
woman, whom he charged with attempting to pick pockets
in the Strand and Jermyn-street. I asked the defendant
on what authority he acted, and he said he was a detective
52 D, and that his name was William Rull. Seeing
that he had been drinking, I sent to Marylebone-lane
to sea if he belonged to the D division, and while
th e messengergone prisoner rushed to the end of the
room,
outtoekw
aaksnife and cut his arm, and I was obliged
to send for the divisional surgeon to bind up the wound.
The messenger brought back word that defendant was not
a detective, and I then placed. him under restraint. Do--
fendant said some time after that he was very sorry, but I
kept him under restraint, and notwithstanding defendant
tried to do something to himself again, but was prevented.
Mr. Tyrwhitt—Are any of his friends here?
Mr. Holden said some had promised to attend, but were
not present.

A gentleman said the defendant had been a souzce of
great trouble to his friende.

THE LATE FATAL ENCOUNTER VP
NORTHUAIBERLAND-SWET.
London, England, 1861-07-23

THE ARMY.

His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, as
General Commanding-in-Chief, held a levee yester-
day afternoon at the Horse Guards. There was
rather a numerous attendance of officers.

The examination of officers, candidates for admis-
sion to the Staff College, before Gen. Knollys, the
Vice-President, and the other members of the
Council of Military Education, commenced yester-
day at the Royal Hospital, Chelsea. About 30
candidates were present. The. examination termi-
nates on the 29th inst.

The next competitive examination of candidates
for direct commissions before the Vice-President
and members of the Council of Military Education
will take place on Monday, the sth of August, at
the Royal Hospital, Chelsea. The examination
will extend over six days.
The Duke of Cambridge having decided that the
whole of the troops shall be regularly instructed
in gymnastic exercises as a part of their military
education, the following order has been issued from
the office of the
Quarter-master-General, Horse
Guards :
"The introduction of gymnastic exercises into the army,
on a properly organised system, having been decided upon,
and a normal school having been established with this ob-
ject in view at the new Gymnasium at Aldershott, his
Royal Highness the Genera Commanding-in-Chief re-
quests that General and other officers commanding. will
consider whether there are any existing buildings at impor-
tant stations which can readily be made available, and be
fitted up, without any great expenditure, for
carrying on
such exercses.

FISK V. FISK.

This was the petition of Emily Fisk, praying for
a judicial separation on the ground of her husband's
adultery with. a young female named Harvey, and
thole was no answer by the respondent.
Mr. Barry and Mr. Hanson were counsel for the
petitioner, and Mr. Gibbins attended to watch the
case for the respondent.

It appeared that the marriage was solemnised at
Marylebone in 1836, and they lived together until
August, 1851, during which period there were seven
daughters issue of the marriage, five of whom are
living. In 1850 the petitioner formed an acquaint-
ance with the female Harvey, and had three chil-
dren by her. The respondent left him in 1851, and
they had not subsequently cohabited. After the
separation the children were placed under the care
of the petitioner's mother, who resided at Lavender-
road, Battersea, and according to the evidence of
two of them, during her absence their father came
to the house accompanied by the woman Harvey.
Ho and Harvey remained for a few days, and dur-
ing that time occupied the same bed.
The Court pronounced the decree of judicial
separation.

HAYNES V. HAYNES AND ECKSTEDT.
This was a suit instituted by the husband, a
coachman in the service of a gentleman at Den-
mark-hill, for a dissolution of marriage on the
ground of his wife's adultery with the co-respon-
dent, who is a piano-tuner.
There was no defence. Mr. Lewis was counsel
for the petitioner.
It appeared that the parties were married in
1854, and lived happily together until 1858, when
the petitioner saw his wife coming out of a house
of ill-fame. Shortly afterwards the respondent
went to live with the co-respondent, and they had
since lived together as man and wife. It appeared
further that there was no issue of the marriage,
and that since the presentation of the petition the
respondent had instigated parties to assault her
husband.

The case was fully proved, and the Court made
the decree nisi with costs.

HARRIS V. HARRIS.

This was the petition of the wife for a divorce on
the ground of her husband's adultery, bigamy, and
desertion, and there was no appearance on the part
of the respondent.
Dr. Phillimore, Q.C., and another learned gen-
tleman were counsel for the petitioner.
The parties were in a humble rank of life, and
the marriage was solemnised at IVlanchester, in Oc-
tober, 1839. They cohabited at different places in
Northamptonshire, and in 1486 the respondent en-
listed in the 86th Regiment of Foot, and went to
India, where he was afterwards joined by his wife.
They returned to England in 1847, and lived tope_ther until 1851, when the respondent left the peti-
tioner, and she had not seen him since, althow,h
she had received a letter from him, couched in very
affectionate terms. 1852 he married another
female, by whom he had a family.

FISK V. FISK.

This was the petition of Emily Fisk, praying for
a judicial separation on the ground of her husband's
adultery with a young female named Harvey, and
there was no answer by the respondent.
Mr. Barry and Mr. Hanson were counsel for the
petitioner, and Mr. Gibbins attended to watch the
case for the respondent.

It appeared that the marriage was solemnised at
Marylebone in 1836, and they lived together until
August, 1851, during which period there were seven
daughters issue of the marriage, five of whom are
living. In 1850 the petitioner formed an acquaint-
ance with the female Harvey, and had three chil-
dren by her. The respondent left him in 1851, and
they had not subsequently cohabited. After the
separation the children were placed under the care
of the petitioner's mother, who resided at Lavender-
road, Battersea, and according to the evidence of
two of them, during her absence their father came
to the house accompanied by the woman Harvey.
He and Harvey remained for a few days, and dur-
ing that time occupied the same bed.
The Court pronounced the decree of judicial
separation.

SAN DOMINGO.

The news from Hayti and San Domingo which
arrived by the last mail gives a complete contradic-
tion to the Madrid journals, which had announced
that the Haytian Government had attacked the
neighbouring Spanish possessions. The truth is
that an insurrection has broken out in the Spanish
provinces on the borders of the Haytian Republic,
and the Dominicans who had taken refuge on the
territory of Hayti were called to their aid. The
latter, in number about 200, crossed the frontier,
under the command of Cabral and other officers
who had been banished by Santana. They had
already gained possession of some important points,
but on the approach of Spanish troops sent against
them they recrossed the frontier without risking a
battle. A body of from 2,000 to 3,000 Dominicans
followed them in order to escape the vengeance of
Santana. The Haytian Government has remained
completely aloof from the movement, and has con-
fined itself to giving refuge to the insurgents who
entered its territory, as the laws of humanity and
the rules followed by all civilised nations made it a
duty for them to do, Far from wishing to assume
an attitude hostile to Spain, President Geffrard is
disposed to keep up friendly relations.

FOU.R7II OF JULY IN THE STATES.

Our great holiday was celebrated on the 4th of
July in the States in a style that has never been
surpassed. Of the millions who celebrate it pro-
bably very few know the real cause, or think of it.
It is a grand jubilee—young America is out in all
her glory. She must fire off something that will
make a noise. Some only get a pack of Chinese fire
crackers; other boys procure a pistol, a shot gun,
or a small cannon, and let it off at all times and in
all places. This year China has sent us a fire cracker
that makes the noise of a cannon, and costs five dol-
lars per 100 ; the small packs sell, a box (40 packs)
for one dollar. All the boys in New York get some-
thing to shoot ; for American babies from six months
to a year old, small torpedoes, that they fling down
and explode, are furnished in boxes at six cents
each. At night comes the crowning glory; almost
every one provides a lot of fireworks. Patriotic
lanterns, made out of paper stripes and stars, are
hung up in the front windows and doors. Every
man of family spends from fire to 100 dollars in
fireworks for his own home and family, and these
are let off after dark. Squibs, rockets, Roman
candles, Anierican candles—red, white, and blue—
mines, fix., to the delight of the youngsters, and to
the utter horror of horses and outsiders. The coun-
try folks all came to the city yesterday. Of course
every place of public amusement was crowded, and
throngs crowded the streets from morning until
night. The vessels in the harbour displayed their
flags gaily ;so did all our public buildings. The
military turned out, and all this fuss and patriotism
was to celebrate the anniversary of the day when
we very irreverently licked our mother and set up
housekeeping for ourselves. Probably next year
another holiday will be inaugurated to celebrate
the anniversary of the day in 1861 when we flogged.
our relations South. and made them obedient.
