THE LATE PRINCE A. CZABTO.RY SEL

The following is the address of condolence presentee
the Literary Association of the friends of Poland to the
sons of the late illustrious patriot and the reply thereto :
To their Highnesses the Princes Witold and Ladislas
Czartoryski.
It is but a few weeks since that the intaest which we
take in the affairs of Poland induced us to address your
honoured and lamented father in the language of sympathy,
with the hopes and indignation at the wrongs of the coun-
try with which his name and memory are so inseparably
and gloriously identified.
With feelings of similar, but, if possible, graver interest,
we now request you, Princes, to accept this testimony of
our sympathy for the loss which you and Poland and Eund
-
rope have sustained in the death of a lat, a patriot, and
rope
a statesman, so distinguished, devoted, and pure as the late
Prince Adam Czartoryski.
It scarcely seems fitting, however, to use the language
of sorrow with reference to the departure from earth of one
so full of years and honour—one so ripe for the paysage
from mortality to immortality, and whose career, extended
beyond the usual'span, closed amidst the affectionate re-
spect of the good and virtuous and brave of his own and
other lands; and if consolation or encouragement were
needed, the best, perhaps, that we could offer is, that sur-
rounding circumstances and events seem to encourage the
hope that you may live to see accomplished the object
which to the last moment animated his heart upon earth,
that of Poland's revival to national independence.
This is not the moment to intrude at length upon your at-
tention. We would but request you, Princes, to be assured
that we are prepared to reiterate the sentiments we so
lately expressed to your revered parent, and our deliberate
conviction that the progress of national freedom, and the
preservation of the ,blessings of peace in Europe, are inti-
mately connected with, if not entirely dependent upon, the
reparation of the unparelleled crime which despoiled your
country of her rights and possessions, and that sound poli-
tical wisdom, as well as the clearest morality and justice,
alike and urgently demand their restoration.
Ve would further request you to communicate this ex-
pression of our feelings and deep sympathy to her highness
the Princess Anna Czartoryski, whose devotion and vir-
tues adorned alike the prosperity and adversity of your
illustrious father, and begging you to assure her and you
a our high respect and regard.
We remain, on behalf of the Literary Association of the
Friends of Poland, your obedient servants,
(Signed) T OWNSIIEND, President.

To the Most Noble the Marquis Townshend, President,
and the Council of the Literary Association of the Friends
of Poland, London.
My Lords and Gentlemen,-•-I beg to acknowledge, with
feelings of gratitude, the very friendly address with which
the Council of your association has been pleased to honour
my brother and myself, and to offer you, in his and my
mother's name, our most hearty thanks.
However prolonged in years and in wonderful vigour of
mind, the life of my late beloved and revered father could
not come to its close without entailing upon his country a
loss which the friends of Poland cannot but feel, and
which it is not in the power of any one to compensate.
Yet, my father's last will and the encouragement I have
received from all who assisted him by their devotion and
experience, leave me no possible hesitation as to undolf-
taking, simply as a matter of duty and love for my country,
the task of continuing the work to which the life and every
means of my father were devoted.
In the performance of the duties which I and the Polish
emigration generally are called upon to accomplish, no one,
my lords and gentlemen, can give us more effective and
valuable assistance than yourselves, in the various stations
you occupy, and which afford you the means of influencing in '
a high degree the public opinion of Great Britain and the
world in general, and thus ultimately the decisions of
your powerful Government. It is, therefore, to me a sub-
ject of the greatest gratification to witness your unflinching
and untiring determination faithfully to continue to serve
the cause of Poland, which is the cause of justice and of
the security of Europe. You will excuse my saying so,
from the truly wonderful attitude displayed in Poland by
all parts of the country, all classes, and all religious per-
suasions, notwithstanding the cruelties they are daily en-
during, and the open endeavours wickedly, but persever-
ingly, made by the present rulers of the country to sow dis-
sension between the inhabitants, and excite the blind pas-
sions of one class against another.
Far from being, as it was long and fatally believed, a
hopelan..a; tee, a...dollvoLanoo of Poland and the restoration
of the Polish kingdom to its ancient and legitimate place
among nations will speedily, with your cordial support,
present itself to all minds, and, I hope more particularly
to the generous, and the farsighted of the British nation
as a comparatively practical and necessary measure.
I trust, my lords and gentlemen, that atter so many
years of devotion to Poland, you now rejoice with us in
what can only be attributed to a dispensation of a merciful
Providence, I mean, in that great moral force which is
daily exhibited by:the inhabitants of Poland, and which
Leaves no doubt as to their ultimate success in tiv struggle
for independence.
I have the honour to be,
My lords and gentlemen,
Your most obedient servant

MISS NIGHTINGALE ON THE VOLUN-

TEER MOVEMENT,

On Thursday evening the Winslow and Bucking-
ham corps of Volunteers proceeded to Claydon-
house, the magnificent residence of Sir H. Verney,
M.P., who had invited them to partake of his hos-
pitality. After manceuvring, the party repaired

to dinner.
The CHAIRMAN proposed the usual loyal toasts
in very suitable terms, and the " Queen"—every
volunteer to his feet—and the National Anthem

was heartily sung in chorus.
The CHAIRMAN had then to propose" Success and
permanence to the Volunteer movement." (Cheers.)
In the course of his speech the chairman said he
would read them two letters from a lady with
whose fame they were all acquainted—it was Miss
Nightingale. (Loud cheers.) He had written to
inform her that he had invited the volunteers, and
to express the pleasure he should feel in her pre-
sence, but she was ill, and unable to walk demos her
room without assistance.
HAMPSTEAD, OCT, 8, 1861.
"My dear Sir Harry,—l like to hear of your volunteers
wish I could be with you, but my heart is with you all.
At the beginning of this year we had 150,000 volunteers,
and already we hear from the best military authorities that
they are capable of manoeuvring and executing movements
with regular troops. To some who know the stuff of which
the Anglo-Saxon is made (no man knows him better than
I do) this is not surprising. These volunteers are of th
sane race with the handful of men who defended their
trenches at Sevastopol, as the Greeks held the position of
Thermopyla3, and who, when dying of slow torture in hos-
pital, drew their blankets over their heads, and died with-
out a word, like the heroes of old. Thank God I our volun-
teers have not to undergo these slow agonies in the
defence of their country. But I for one (and I speak
notwithstanding an experience of the horrors of war
which no man has had), was not at all sorry to see
the spirit of war brought home to our people's lives in the
glorious rising of the volunteers. A country needs re-tem-
pering sometimes. England, from her grand mercantile and
commercial successes, has been called sordid. God knows
she is not I The simple courage, the enduring patience, the
good sense, the strength to suffer in silence—what nation
shows more of this in war than is shown by her commonest
soldier? I have seen men dying of dysentery, but scorning
to report themselves sick lest they should thereby throw
more labour on their comrades, go down to the trenches and
make the trenches their death-bed. There is nothing in his-
tory to compare with it. Other nations may do it for glory,
but we for duty, as the Duke of Wellington said. I say no
one has seen the horrors of war as I have, yet I was glad
to see the spirit of war arising in our volunteers. If both
French and English statesmen have recorded upon their
observation, that the most intelligent, the most well-
doing, the most respectable in the best sense of the word,
in any French village or district, are always those re-
turned from serving out their time on conscription ; and
if this is the case with those who have given a compul-
sory service for a Government which we English cannot
respect, what ought not the men to become who give
a free service for a free country, like our volunteers ?
Say what men will, there is something more truly
Christian in the man who gives ti
his me, his strength, his
life, if need be, for something, not himself, whether he call
it his Queen his country, or his colours, than in all the asce-
ticism, the fasts, tho humiliations and confessions that have
ever been made ; and this spirit of giving one's life without
calling it a sacrifice is found nowhere so truly as in Eng-
land. This is a spirit which animates our armies and our
volunteers. But there must be more drill, more discipline)
or the sense of teaching how orders are to be obeyed, more
acting in concert, to make our volunteers perfect, and our
volunteers mean to be quite perfect. It is wonderful how
much they have done RiregdY iu preciel9A, On tie PAM*
