POLAND.

The Augsburg Gazette states that there is at pre-
r'nt a specie i of poliacal corgrcss at Warsaw, at
which the Austrian and Russian diplomaties are
engaged. The EsdrEnnn hirnelf is expected to attend
it. The Congfess is occupied in the consideration of
the affairs of Germany and Poland. On the Ist
January, 185 I—that is, on the 25th anniversary of
the accession of the EMPEROR —Poland will be trans-

" Thu Ca"rdinal ANTONELLI."
On the Bth, the fete of the birth of the Virgin, the
POPE went in procession to grand mass at Santa
Maria del Popnlo. lie was received by the people
in the most chilling Manner ; not a sound was uttered
—not a voice asked for benediction. The POPE was
deeply affected by this reception, which contrasted so
unfavourably with his reception in 1846. Instead of
the flattering inscriptions which formerly, in similar
circumstances, were exposed in the streets through
which his Ifoxxxxss used to pass in going to the
church of Santa Maria del Popolo., the following
writing was posted near that church and in other
parts of the city :
Morte a " Pio IX.
Mazzini viva lungaincnte
La R-puhlica 6, - doice Governo
Il Lill Warne Govern() 6 qpello dei Preti;
A !basso it Potere dei Preti;
Il amainio del Popoli" regni in eterno."
If you read the two inscriptions straight, line by
line, the sense of the first inscription is applicable to
the second, viz.:—

" Morto a Pio IX.
ISlnzini viva lungamente, &c."

MUSIC.
THE VOICES OF THE. NIGHT. Recitative
and Air. The Poetry by Professor Longfellow ;
the Music composed and dedicated, by permission, to
the Viscountess Dungannon by Ernest Reinhold..
It is not often that pQttry and melody are found so
intimately combined as .they are in the present de-
lightful carnposhiori. Ernest Reinhold, of whom,
from his former compositions, we expected great
things, and -who does not seem likely to disappoint
Our expectations, 113 s become thoroughly imbued with
the spirit of Professor Longfellow's exquisite poem,
which he has rendered into music worthy of the sub-
ject. Tnis is, without exaggeration, " music married
to immortal verse.," end as such is destined to an en-
during fsme. " The Voices of the Night" will not
be cast aside with the great mass of nonsense verses
set to so-so music whiih • encumber the music-stand
of the drawing-room, but will ba carefully treasured
as one of those ehoice compositions which will be re-
curred to again and egain with delight.

LORD COCKBUILIC.—This Learned Judge has not
been able to take his vat at the Dumfries Circuit this week,

THIS OLD FAMILY BIDLR---REMARIIADLE INC'.
DENT.- Oa the banks of the Wabash the effects of a poor
widow, who had been left comparatively destitute at the
death of her husband, had been seized by a sheriff for debt,
and were being cold by auction—and among these effects an
old family Bible was put up for sale. She begged the con-
stable to spare this memento of her dear and honoured
parents, but he was inexorable. The good book was about
going for a few shillings, when the widow suddenly snatched
it, and declaring she wohlethave some relic of thosa she loved,
cat the thread that helet the brown linen cover, with the in-
tent of retaining it. The cover fell into her hands, and with
it two flat pieces of thin dirty paper. Surprised at the cir-
cumstance, she examined them, and what was her joy end
delight to find, that they each called for five hundred pounds
on tile Bank of England. On the back of one, in her mother's
handwriting, were the following words:--" When sorrow
overtakes you, seek your Bible." And on the other, in her
father's hand :—"Your father's ears are never deaf." The
sale was immediately stopped, and the family Bible given to
the faithful owner.—Ma Advertiser.
D BATH FROM CIIOKING.----Yester.ay
Mr. Carter
held an inquest at the 4arlborough Arms Public-house,
Camberwell; on the body of William Barton, aged 67, who
died under the following circumstances :—The deceased was
an inmate of Camberwell workhouse, and, on Thursday last,
whilst in the infirm ward, the nurse brought in a quantity of
boiled beef and potatoes to supply twelve men. The de-
ceased went to the table, and while the nurse was at the
other end of the ward, he took up a piece of meat and en-
deavoured to swallow it, but became black in the face, and
fell down insensible. Air. -King, the house-surgeon, was
called in, and made every effort to dislodge the meat, which
had become firmly fixed in the windpipe. The deceived
died in about five minutes, and when the medical gentleman
removed the piece of meat he found it to be three inches in
length, and one and a half wide. The jury returned a ver-
dict of "Accidental death."

NATURAL AFFECTION or A DOG.—The Mona' 8
Herald states that a Mr. Cain, of Castletown, took three
pups from a litter of seven, produced by a canine favourite,
drowried them, and buried them in a hole. Next morning
the mother had all the seven pups in her bed alive and
sucking, she having scratched up her offspring and warmed
them into life.
We have heard it remarked by a gentleman well
informed on the subject, that it is feared our manufacturers
are too exclusively devoting themselves to the production of
the finest qualities of fabrics, and neglecting the lower and
middle qualities, which are really of greater importance as
articles of commerce, and in which prizes might be gained as
well as in the highest qualities. We believe it would be pe-
culiarly desirable for our Yorkshire manufacturers to strive
after excellence in the medium qualities, as it is in those that
they possess the greatest. advantages.—Leeds ltrecury.
INFLUX OF SHlPFlNG.—Yesterday an immense
fleet of merchantmen, upwards of 150 in number, arrived off
Gravesend. On 'Sunday and Saturday the arrivals of home-
ward ships that had been detained in the Channel wind-
bound, some for three weeks, were equally numerous. At
the different wharfs, docks, and river quays, the greatest ac-
tivity is observable.

Gallant Admiral, who is at present naval Commander-in-
Chief on the North American station, that the Commercial
Society of St. Juhn's,New•foundland, has issued a report com-
plimentary to the Gallant Admiral, for the interest he has
manifested in the American fisheries, and his expressed de-
sire to be useful to their important pursuits.—Caledonian

THE BRIDGE ON TIII3 RHINE AT COLOGNE.--It
appears from an official document published V Mr. Van der
lleidt, the Minister of Trade and Public NV orks, that the
committee appointed to examine the merits of the various
Plans for a bridge over the Rhine, between the cities of Co-
logne and Deutz, have awarded the first priza of 71 c 0 frederics
d'or to Mr. John W. Schwedler, architect, of Berlin, and the
second prize of 125 frederics d'or to Captain W. Moorsom, of
London.

CRUELTY TO A::I3IALS —Among the Acts passed
on the 14th ult. was cue for the more effectual prevention of
cruelty to animals in Scotland. It is similar to the one
passed last year fcr England. It should be known that in
Great Britain persons who offend against either Act can be
apprehended without a warrant and taken before a magis-
trate.

WHALES IN THE CLYDE.—As a party were cruis-

" The events which have taken place at Turin, after
the death cf the Chevalier Pietro de Rossi de Santa
Rosa, Minister of Commerce of his Sardinian Majesty,
are a fresh cause of bitter grief to the Church, mid to
its august head. The violation committed against the
ecclesiastical immunity, by the series of facts which
called forth the former protests of his Holineas, and to
which hitherto no attention. his been paid, has been ag-
gravated in the capital of the Sardinian States, where the
lay power has not feared to mix itself up in questions solely
relating to the administration of the sacraments. The ec-
clesiastical authority having thought fit not to accord to
the said minister the sacrament of the Eucharist, unless
he first rectified by a proper act the position in which
he had placed himself with respect to the Church, in
taking part in the promulgation of anti-canonical laws,
this act was alleged against the sacred ministers, and, in
consequence, they were acted against without any at-
tention being paid to their meted cheraeter. Hence was
seen a series of revere measures against the priesthood,
the violent expulsion of the cu:4 of St. Charlis, and of
all the religious family to which it belon&s, the arrest of
the Archbishop of Turin and his confinement in the
fortress of Fenestrelle, without speaking of the
to demonstrate perqui-
sitions made a short time after in the prelate's residence.
eTI Clie ol
eenumeration
ofS!tali acts appears to be suffi-
ntwhat a grave responsibility their
Authors have incurred before the Church. It is the
ministers of the 'Church alone who are to decide to
ahem the sacraments are to bd.administered, and in
such performance of their duty they arc to be guided
by no other rules than. those given theta by the
higher authorities of the Church. That being the
case, it is easy to see what an insult has been offered to
the Church by the secular authority arrogating' to
itselfsacraments,th and
erighto
haw
fde
ingin matters which concern
offensive are the hestile mea-
sures adopted in contempt c f the prierly character, and
especially the new act otriolerce against the sacred
person of the Archbishop of Turin. At the sight of
such deplorable events the affliction with which the
mind of the . Holy Father is filled, on account of the
dreadful Siiiiation of ecclesiastical things in a Catholic
kingdom like Eardinia,• increases beyond measure.
His Holiness, to satisfy the duties imposed upon
him by his august character of supreme chief of
the Catholic Church, has expressly enjoined the un-
dersigned cardinal, Secretary of Sate, to pro-
test formally against these deplorable acts, and
to ask, in his name, the reparation which is duo to him.
The Holy Father, who,..in the case of the unfortunate vi-
cissitudes between. the Holy See and Piedmont, feels,
Satisfied that hd has given a' striking example d
apostolic longanirnity, is willirgagain to hope that the
Govern:meet of hie Sardinial Majesty, seeirg hew heavy
aro the trials to which the Church has so long been sub-
jeated in those States—how insultieg are the measures
taken one aft, r the other against the most illustrious
perseneges of the episcopal order, to the great ecandal cf
the Catholic world—and reflecting, besides, on what is
established by the sacred canons relative to acts of this
native—will consent to put an end to a state of things
heompatible with the relig;on which the.said Govern-
ment professes, and Which it declares itself ready to
msintaiu and proteb' ; a state of things equally irrccon-
oileable with the schmn troaties to which the Holy See,
strong in its"good right, does not cease to appeal. Pray-
ing your Lordship to forward the present note to your
royal Government, the undersigned repeats to him the
expression of his sentiments of high. esteem.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, TWO O'CLOCK.
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were es-
timated at from 8,000 to 9,000 bales, of which 1,000
America, 500 Pernam and Maranham, and 500 Bahia
were taken by speculators: The market closed with
prices of American and all other kinds, except Egyptian
and Sea Islands, id. to id. per lb. dearer than on Friday
last. The sales comprised about 5,000 American, 1,000
Pernam and Maranham, at Bd. to 84d.; 1,000 Bahia, at
to 8,2 d.; 500 Surat, at sd. to 64:1, and 50 Sea Is-
lands, at is. lid. to Is. 4id. per lb.—ln Railway Shares
a fair busine:,s was done, and the market closed firmly.
In a statement upon the Dried Finit trade, Messrs.
Witherby and Hanson report as under:—" The arrivals
which we noticed on the 23d ult. were the close of the
shipment of the 1849 crdive A cargo has since lacem re-
ceived at Liverpool. 'he screw stearn-abip Nautilus
left Patras on the 4th instant, with new fruit for this
port; two schooners sailed on the previous day. The
London clearances for home coesumption, whicVwere
on the increase last month, have again fallen off; having
been only 510 tons from 19th ult. to 18th inst., against
775 tons during the like period of 1849, and against
410 tons and 870 tons in 1848 and 1847. At
Liverpool there has also been a falling off
during the last four weeks. This has been
partly occasioned in London by the holders of currants
having withdrawn their fruit from the market on the
Gth instant, in consequendo of the intelligence of serious
damage to the crop from heavy rain at the
end of last month, a fact which has been fully confirmed
by later advice?. Tho market Las since been in an
unsettled state; the trade, though unusually bare of
stock, preferring to await the arrival of the new crop.
A few purchases have, however, been made within the
last few days at an advance of 2s. to 2e. Gd. per cwt.
upon the rates of last month. Gulph Fruit at
375. to 375. Gd., and Patras 41s •to 41s Gd.
We are not aware of any Island fruit having
been sold; one quotation for that description is, there.
fore, even more nominal than that of Patras. Five car-
goes of Raisins have arrived at Liverpool, and are selling
freely at 40s ; three er four at Bristol, and one at Ply-
mouth. The fruit, so far, appears good, cad of a keep-
ing quality. We have had arrivals also of Muscatels in
layers, opening price 755., now Gss.; and of Sultanas,
about 5,000 drums, held at our quotations, without find-
icg buyers." _
