POLISH FRONTIERS, OCT. I.—Some .weeks ago
above twenty youths belonging to the Gymnasium
were arrested at Warsaw as members of a secret so-
ciety. The younger boys, of 13 and 14 years of age,
were sent to the interior of Russia; but the elder ones
were sent to the Caucasus, to serve as privates in the
Russian army in that country.
S-roctcnotzt, OCT. I.—An estate called Bolierup,
belonging to the late king, has been purchased by
Mr. Sylvan for 300,000 rix dollars banco.
STADE, OCT. 3.—The magistrates have issued a
notice respecting a treaty of commerce and naviga-
tion (which is shortly to be ratified), concluded with
the Danish Government, by which Danish ships and
their cargoes are placed on the same footing with re-
gard to charges in the Hanoverian ports as our own.
This notice states that this equality is to take place
from the Ist of this month.

ready published, has been ratified by the Semite and
citizens.

the King will not go to Copenhagen before his birth-
day, which is the 15th of October, It is probable

SAILING OF THE STEAM-SHIP GREAT WESTERN.—
LIVERPOOL, SUNDAY MORNING.---The Great Western
steam-ship, ' under the able command of Captain
Matthews, left the Coburg dock yesterday morning about
eleven o'clock, and proceeded on her voyage to New
York. Amongst her passengers, 140 in number, were
his Excellency M. de Bodisca, Russian Minister at
Washington ; M. Jung, bearer of dispatches from Paris,
and Mr. Hapman, Dutch Consul at Charleston,
A most dreadful fire broke out last night, about
nine o'clock, in the works of the New Cross station, on
the South Eastern Railway, which destroyed the octagon,
containing Mr or five locomotive engines, a number of
tenders, and other property. It also communicated to
the fitting house, which contained a great quantity of
machinery and valuable materials, The other parts of
the station were with great difficulty saved from the de-
vouring element. The damage is computed at upwards
of 25,000/.
ST.' GEORGE'S, HAN"ER-SQUARE.—The Rev. H.
Brown, M.A., incumbent of St, Janses's;
Shoreditch, son in-law to the bishop of London, has
been presented by his Lordship to this valuable living,
vacant by the death of Dr. Hodgson. It is a curious
coincidence, that at the time of Dr, Ned stet presenta-
tion he was himself moe.,,int'ae to the then Bishop of
London, Dr, Pettelli.
PettLlC WALKS, PARRS, &c.—We are glad to find
resh proofs of the general interest manifestri hi this
'xcellent object, in the rapier suplettli ng shoscription,
'ist, which. since the last was advertised, has been
noreased by about 1,7801., and now amounts to nearly
22,500 i. The most recent subscriptions include a hand-
tome donation by Mr. W. Atkinson, of Ma, and one
)f 2501., by our representative, Mr. Milne Clibbon,
M.P. There are also several liberal stibseriPtitThe fthm
•I distance, from parties thus k t-ttbtfully acknowledging
tnd maintaining their Connexion with the town. Mr.
F. Thompson, of Primrose, Clitheroe, has given 100/.
'imongst the supporters of the measure in the clergy of
the Establishment, it gives us pleasure to ste thb bathes
If two of the canons of Mancheater, the Rev. C. D. Wray
sod the Rev, R. C. Clifton, for 25/. each. There is
another class of subscriptions; of which, as yet, we have
mly the commencement, but which have it peeuliar
value, as the contributions of the working-classes thetn-
;elves. The subscriptions are by far the most signiftearit
nd decisive answer that can be given to those who
)bject, that when parks are provided, the people will not
;se them. Pew will suppose this likely, when they find
hat the workmen in a calico-printing concern (that of
Messrs. Thomas Hoyle and Sons) have subscribed 67/.
; and those of a machine-making establishment (that
if Messrs. Sharp, Brothers, and Co.). upwards of 50/.,
n aid of the fund for public walks and parks. If these
ire not satisfactory proofs of the earnest approbation and
'c,rdial support of those for whom these parks are mainly
we know not where to seek them.—Manchester

PROPOSED PUBLIC PARK IN LEEDS.—Some of our
benevolent townsmen, among whom we may mention our
public-spirited Mayor, are desirous that Leeds should not
be behind other towns in the formation of public parks
or walks for the healthful and rational recreation of all
classes. It has been suggested that the Zoological and
Botanical Gardens, which comprise nearly twenty acres,
in a beautiful situation and well laid out, might be pur.
chased for this purpose. Some of the larger shareholders
in the gardens are, we know, disposed to transfer their
w hole property in them to the town-council, or some
other body, for the benefit of the public ; and we think it
likely that many others would follow this liberal ex-
ample, thinking it more agreeable to see their fellow-
townsmen of the humbler classes enjoying themselves
in the gardens than to walk there in comparative seclu-
sion. Those shareholders who took shares as an invest-
ment, and who could not afford to give them to the
public, would probably accept a moderate sum for that
which now yields them no dividend. A subscription
would, therefore, be required to purchase, the gardens for
the public ; and we think this would be forthcoming,
as the amount would probably not be very large. A
yearly subscription would also be requisite to keep the
gardens in order. We hope to be able shortly to report
progress in this laudable attempt to promote the healt;
and recreation of the industrious classerh—Lrxds
