WARSAW, JAN. 6.—There is no foundation what-
ever for the announcement that it is intended to build
a new fortress at lialirch. The Russian Govern-
ment has never thought of such a work ; nor, after
the completion of the works at Warsaw, Demblin,
and Medlin, can it be necessary for the defence of the
country. Napoleon, and with him the most eminent
tacticians, judged the three above-mentioned points to
be fully sufficient for the protection of Poland against
invasions from the West.

The accounts given in other papers of troubles hav-
ing taken place are equally groundless. Poland was
never more tranquil than it is now, and it is the in-
terest of all Poles to resist to the utmost all excite-
ments to further disturbances, if the time shall at
length come when the wounds which have been in-
flicted on the kingdom shall be healed. This time
may, perhaps, not be distant, if the Propaganda of
Paris and London does not revive its impracticable
schemes, which have already been so fatal to Poland.
lIANovEn, JAN. 12.—The Bishop of lleldershein
has published a new edition of the Catechism of Father
Canisrus, and recommended it to the clergy. It is
an old book of ultramonfane-tendency, full of hetero-
dox doctrines, on which account the use of it was
abolished. The majority of the Roman Catholics of
lleldershein have decidedly declared against the direc-
tion which Dr. Bandt seems inclined to give to his
diocese, and several teachers have refused to intro-
duce this catechism into their schools ; on this occa-
sion many a Roman Catholic manifests the laudable
desire not to be oppressed by the yoke of Rome, but
to follow the efforts of their brethren for free, pure
Christianity.
LEIPSIC, JAN. 12.—The Sachsischen Naterlands-
Blatter publishes to-day the letter of Dr. Reginbrecht,
Professor in Breslow, to Dr. Latussek, the suffragan,
and adds, in a postscript of a Roman Catholic at Bres-
low, " A report is just spread here that in conse-
quence of Dr. Reginbrecht's protest, an extraordinary
meeting of the chapters of this city las been held to-
day, the 4th, at which Professor Reginbrecht at-
tended ; it is said that he was urged by the Bishop to
withdraw the said letter for two months, because in
that time instructions would be received from Rome.
Dr. R. is said to have been still more decided by this
reference to Rome of a purely German affair not to
retract a syllable. We cannot tell how far these re•
ports may be true."—Hambargh Papers, Jan. 17.

BRUSSELS, JAN. 19.—We find the following passage
in the Echo Tournaission :—" Petitions, with the signa-
tures of a great number of cultivators and workmen of
seYeral communes of this arrondissement, whoso subsis-
tence depends on the production and sale of indigenous
(i.e., beet-root) sugar, will be shortly presented to the
Chamber of Representatives, praying that the interest of
the manufacturer of indigenous sugar may not be sacri-
ficed to the interest of the refiners of foreign sugar. It
is scarcely a year and a half since the Chamber passed
the law relative to sugar, and already they think of mo-
difying it."—Brussels papers, Jan. 20.
The Cologne Gazette says that the Committee of the
Austrian Lloyd, which has been to Vienna, has pur-
chased six large steamers belonging to the Danube Steam
Navigation Company, which are employed in the Lower
Danube and the Black Sea, by which the number of
steamers belonging to the Austrian Lloyd is increased
to 20.

may be truly termed gin beds. The gin drinker chooses
them for the convenience they afford him in lying down
and getting up without the trouble of undressing or
dressing again when he wants to return to the poison
that is destroying him. The gin drinker also dreads the
hospital, though he knows there he will get every rea•
son,:ble comfort, but from fear of being debarred gin, he
prefers disease and death, in the enjoyment of the latter,
to health and long life with temperate treatment.—Ver-
