RUSSIA.

The German journals contain rumours of a revolu-
tionary agitation having been manifested in St.
Petersburgh and Moscow, especially in the upper
schools and among the students. The immediate
consequence of it has been an imperial decree pro-
hibiting the natives of Poland from entering the
high schools of the two Russian capitals and Dor-
pat ; it was even reported that these three establish-
ments would be suppressed. Another confiscation
of the estates of a political criminal had been pub-
lished in Poland ; but it was distinguished from
former political acts of the same kind by a notice to
the creditors of the late proprietor to send in their
claims on him. Till now the practice has been to
collect all debts due to the possessor of the confis-
cated property for the benefit of the Government, but
all demands of his creditors were rejected. The sys-
tem has been very ioj talons to public credit in
Poland, and it is believed that from consideration of
its mischievous effects it has been abandoned.

During the stay of the Emperor at Warsaw all
the regulations of the police are enforced with the
utmost severity.

DREADFUL ACCIDENT IN THE STRAND.—This
afternoon, about half-past three o'clock, as a respectably-
dressed female was crossing the Strand, from Lancaster-
place to Wellington-street North, by tome accident she fell
in the road, and before the poor creature could be relieved
from her perilous situation the wheels of an omnibus, No.
6,323, passed over her right leg just above the ancle. Dadd,
No. 81 F division, and others, instantly removed her to
Charing-cross Hospital, when it was discovered that the
foot and lower part of the leg were crushed in a most fright-
ful manner. Amputation was resorted to, hut the unfor-
tunate woman remained in a very doubtful state of recovery.
No blame is attached to the driver, who is in the employ of
Messrs. Wilson, of Highbury.

IvIPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

(THIS EVENING.)

HOUSE OF LORDS.

Their Lordships mut at Five o'clock.
NAVY PRIZE BALANCE BILL.
This Bill was read a third time and passed.
PETITIONS.

The Duke of RICHMOND presented several petitions
praying for increased accommodation to assistant-
surgeons in the navy, among them one from the Royal
College of Surgeons in London; also from several out-
pensioners of Coelsea Hospital praying for the repeal
of a clause in the Act 9 and 10 Victoria, depriving them
of their pensions. He thought that every accommoda-
tion ought to be afforded to assistant-surgeons in the
navy, and he hoped that some alteration would take place
in the present arrangements.
The Earl of MINTO said that great misapprehension
existed as to the nature of the accommodation afforded
to assistant-surgeons in the navy. A double cabin had been
appropriated to their use some time since, immediately
after the report of the Naval and Military Commission,
in order to enable them to pursue their studies. They
had in many instances converted that cabin into a store-
room; but he believed arrangements had now been made
to remove all causes of complaint on their part that
they had no separate place of study. He believed a
portion of the sick bay was now appropriated for that
purpose._ _

Lord BROUGHAM presented several petitions pray-
ing for the extension of the County Courts. The
traders of London, Manchester, and Leeds did not
object to the principles of Mr. Fitzroy's Bill, but to
certain of the details.

Tho Earl of HARROWBY presented several peti-
tions praying for a repeal of the Sale of Beer Act.
The Earl of RODEN presented several petitions
against Post-office Sunday labour.
ADMINISTRATION OF CRIMINAL JUSTICE

IMPROVEMENT BILL.
On the motion of Lord CAMPBELL, this Bill was
read a third time and passed.
CHELSEA PENSIONERS.

In answer to a question from the Duke of RICHMOND,
Earl GREY said, under an Act cf George 11., a de-
duction a 5 per cent. was made Irons all out-pensioners
paid at Chelaes Hospital, In 1847 a Bill was passed
doing away with the poundage, but it was not retrospec-
tive in its operation. This was equivalent to giving the
pensioners a boon of 50,000/, per annum. Upon that
law being passed the pensioners imagined they bad claims
far the arrears of former deductions, than which nothing
could be more illusory.
