MI% GAM, Y KNIGHT brought the subject of the tyran-
nical conduct of the Emperor of RUSSIA towards Poland
before the House of Commons last night, by moving for
copies of certain ukases issued by the EMPEROR in Sep-
tember;- 1541, for administering the affairs of that
deeply-wronged nation. The Hon. Gentleman grounded
our right to interfere for the protection of the Poles,
upon the Treaty of Vienna, whic3 had been grossly
Tiolated by the reigning Sovereign of Russia. The mo-
tion was seconded by Sir FRANCIS BURDETT, and sup-
ported by Mr. Il U3IE, Mr. MILNER, Mr. P. M. STEWART,
Lord SANDON, Mr. SHIEL, Mr. J. S. WORTLEY, and
Mr. P. HowAno, who all deplored the merciless policy
adopted by the EMPEROR towards his Polish subjects.
But by far the most important speech delivered on this
occasion was made by Sir ROBERT PEEL, who at once
agreed to the motion. He, too, protested against the
conduct of Russia towards Poland, which he stigma-
tized as being as foolish as it was wicked. He stated
that at present there was the most cordial friendship
between Russia and England, and that its continuance
was for the interest of both, as well as necessary to the
peace of the world. She had withdrawn her agents
from the north-west frontier of India, and was acting in
concert with England in Persia. Nevertheless, he felt
bound, as the head of the British Government, to de-
nounce as unwise, illiberal, and unjust, the policy of
Russia towards Poland. The Government of this country
felt deep sympathy for the gallant and enlightened peo-
ple of Poland, and he trusted that the EMPEROR, upon
finding that till sympathy was participated in by the
people of England, France, Spain, and even Prussia,
would consult his own glory and the true interests of
Bessie. by ameliorating their condition. These senti-
ments were loudly cheered by the House, and will afford
great satisfaction to The country. That they will mate-
rially influence the future proceedings of the Russian
Government we have not the smallest doubt. Were the
people and the Press of Franc:, instead of foolishly
quarrelling with us, to co-operate with England in
firmly, steadily, but peaceably inisting upon the revo-
cation of the ukases for abolishing the language and the
religion. of Poland, as by the treaty of Vienna they are
bound to do, there is not the least doubt but that
the ExeF.non would revoke them. The time is
past fur attempting to save Poland by an ap-
peal to arms. She must henceforth work her
own rcd-mption. All the support which we can
now give her p4,-ple is sympathy for their suffer-
ings. Of her ultimate resuscitation we entertain the
tnost confident hope. The history of the world presents
no instanee of the peaceful extinction of a nation so free,
so powerful, and so enlightened as Poland. She may
disappour for a time from the map of Europe, but only
to re-appear wore powerful than ever.

We have received this morning several letters from
highly respectable correspondents relative to the wicked
and unfortuna:e youth FRANCIS, non/ under sentence of
death for attempting the life of her MAJESTY. The
crow ltd state of our columns prevents us from giving
them insertion, which we the more regret as they all, with-
out a single exception, cry out against the execution of the
wretched criminal. We implore the Government to re-
flect well upon the consequences which may follow the
taking the life of this poor wretch. We have received
:some scores of letters relative to his crime, many of them
from medical and military gentlemen, all agreeing in the
opinion first expressed by us, that the pistol contained
no other substance than a little powder. Now, should
this conviction hereafter take place in the humane and
Christian mind of her MAJESTY, with what horror would
she not regard the persons who advised his execution ?
They consult not the peace of her MAJESTY'S conscience
hereafter, who now advocate the execution of this mise-
rable offender. Spare his life, but send him out of the
country, to repent his guilt, for the remainder of
hie existence. Let this be done without noise
or parade, and let him never more be heard
of, and we will answer that his example will do
more to deter others from imitating his crime than if he
were hung in chains above the dome of St. Paul's
Cathedral—a spectacle of horror for all London.

We have received the whole of the French Jour-
nals of Wednesday. The Right-of-Search question
is again revived, and nothing is talked of by
the Opposition Journals but the insolence of Eng-
land, and the scandalous conduct of her officers
and men on the African station. They are now for
:abolishing the right of search altogether—or, in other
-words, re-estal,lishing the slave trade in all i.s unmi-
tigated horrors.
The King of the Netherlands has just presented Admiral
Dupetit-Thouars with the Order of the Lion, as a mark of his
satisfaction at the Admiral's work, entitled " Voyage Autour
chi Monde," of which a copy had been presented to him by the
author.

A Con,erratory of Music is to be founded at Berlin under
the direction of M. Felix Mendelssohn. The King, it is said,
has signified his intention of granting 15,000 crowns a year to
this establishment.

The annual extraordinary meeting of the Societe Geoloyique
de France will be held this year at Aix, in the Bouches-du-
Rhone, a region which presents vast and curious resources for
its scientific researches. It will commence on the 4th, and
termina.e on the 15th September.
The Moniteur publishes the official returns of the imports
into Prange for the first five months of the present year. There
is a general increase, particularly in coffee, cocoa, and other
colonial produce. lie imports of cotton from America have
exceeded by 29,000 tons the amount of the corresponding period
of the last s ear, and there has been nearly the same augmenta-
tion in the imports of wool. The imports of silk have on
the contrary fallen off. The most remarkable increase is in
iron and coals, a: will appear from the following comparative
acceurt of tlie imports for the first five months of the last
ve years, viz , iron, 1838, (1,951 tons; 1839, 7,521 tons ; 1840,
5,286 tons ; 1841. 10,108 tons ; 1842, 13,489 tons. Coals, 1838,
477,528 tons ; 1839, 492,863 tons ; 1840, 498,118 tons ; 1841,
1300,732 tons ; 1812, 651,630 tons. There has been a corre-
sponding rice iii the imports of lead, tin, indigo, and other
articles neer-wiry in manufactures. Notwithstanding the in-
crease ittilie al:nor:tit of the imports of colonial sugar, the con-
sumption of beet-root sugar has also increased. Oti the Ist
instant t 1.4 quantity ma•'.o amounted to 30 millions of kilo-
gram alas, c,f which 27 millions had been consumed, which is
nearly 30 per cent. more than in the corresponding period of
the last year.

FAILURE IN SIIETLAND.--The extensive firm of
Ities-rs. llly out Ogilvie, merchants and bankers, &c. in Ler-
w ink, have been obliged to suspect' pa) ment. '1 he amouut
of the fo'ure, acd the deposits iir their hands, as tankers, are
oonsiderabl,s and the pople of Lerwi,k, and the whole of
hetlarti, have, not without reason, been thrown into con-
siderable Arm and surprise by the event. Some shopkeepers,
it is sail, had upwards of 1,0001. deposited with them, and
numerous other failures are expected to succeed. "Every-
thing,' says a curresicindent of the John o' Groat Journal,
*6 appears to be paralyzed in consequence of this untoward
event, and ilt wri!l be a heavy blow and great discouragement to
the na iris of the Shetland isles.— r

Stitherland-shae, tried very suddenly on Saturday, the 18th
itstant, haring. the da previous, made arrangements, or
