UNION-HALL.

Rosetta Daughters, a woman about thirty years of
age, was charged with bigamy.
Robert Daughters, a private in the Oxford Blues,
stated that he was married to the prisoner in June,
1537, and that she ran away from him soon after •
wards. Since then he ascertained she had married a
man named Highwood, and the witness produced the
register of the second marriage, dated the 7th of
February in the present year.
The prisoner said that she ran away from Daughters
in consequence of her not relishing a soldier's life ;
that she went to live with Highwood, but was not
his wife, as she knew the consequences if she married
him.—She was remanded.

William Cappeline was charged with attempting to
drown himself. _ . _

Between one and two o'clock this morning the de-
fendant walked into the river near the Archbishop's
Palace, the tide being out at the time, and waded in
the mud and water until he got up to his chin. Being
observed, a policeman got into a wherry, and with dif-
ficulty extricated him from his perilous situation.
The defendant said he had had a glass too much,
and being ill he intended to destroy himself, but was
sorry now that he had made the attempt.
He was held to bail.

DEFINITION OF ' THE " POLISH
REFUGEES."
TO MICHAEL, GIBBS, ESQ., ALDERMAN.
Literary Association of the Friends of Poland,
Sussex Chambers, Duke-street, St. James's,
Nov. 10, 1842.
Dear Sir,—When I had the honour of presenting
a petition to the Court of Common Council for the use
of the Guildhall for the purpose of giving there an
entertainment for the benefit of the Polish refugees,
which, by the permission of the Court, has been
advertised to take place on the 16th instant, you rose
in your place, and said that " It had frequently
happened that persons apparently in distress had
applied to you, as sitting Magistrate, stating that,
although they were Poles, they were not permitted
to participate in any funds provided for the Polish
refugees. You wished, therefore, to be informed
what constituted a Polish refugee
Being called on to answer the question, I did so in
the following terms :—" In order that a person should
be considered a Polish refugee, so as to be relieved
from the funds either of the Treasury or the Associa-
tion, it is requisite, in the first place, that he be a
native of Poland; and in the next, that he able to
show that he served his country in some capacity or
other during the late struggle against Russia. No
person is relieved who does not combine these quali-
fications, and relief is not granted to those who have
been convicted of crimes or who are known as bad
characters."
This answer I believe to be correct, so far as it goes ;
but lam sensible that it is not complete. I feel,
therefore, that I owe it to you, to the Poles, and to
the public, to make to it the following addition :
Besides the qualifications above mentioned, another
is requisite in order to entitle a person to share in the
Parliamentary grant, or in the funds of the Associa-
tion, and that is, that his arrival in this country
should have taken place previous to a fixed time. The
Treasury grants relief to no Pole, whatever may be
his claims in other respects, who was not known to
have been in this country on or before a day in the
autumn of 1838. The Association had admitted
claims to a later period ; but after having taken all
the means in its power to caution the Poles not to
resort to this country, finding that its funds were in-
adequate to meet the wants of those already here in
March, 1841, it came to a resolution that it would
grant no relief to any Pole who should land here after
that date. This resolution has been circulated all over
the Continent by means of the Polish newspapers pub-
lished in Paris.
This rule I believe to be wise and salutary, but it is
certainly possible that, under it, instances may occur
in which Poles, who have served their country and
whose characters are unstained by any crime or mo-
ral offence, may be able to state with truth that they
are in distress and are denied relief from any fund pro-
vided for the refugees. lam not, indeed, aware that
there are at present any persons answering this de-
scription in the country, and it is possible that such
cases may arise.
There is also another class of Poles, who, having
served their country and being of good character,
have yet no title to relief from either of the public
funds, and may therefore truly represent themselves
to be in distress. This is composed of refugees who,
having once being recipients of the Government al-
lowance, have voluntarily renounced it in considera-
tion of a fixed sum, or who, as it is termed at the
Treasury, have commuted their claims. The practice
at the Treasury is to allow any Pole who declares his
intention of quitting the country, to receive at once,
on condition of his renouncing all further claim what-
ever, the sum which he would otherwise get in
monthly payments during a year ; a sum which
scarcely ever exceeds 261., and is often little more
than half the amount.
Such a practice is well calculated to diminish the
claimants on the Treasury, and its effect has been to
reduce the number of Poles receiving allowances from
Government by nearly 150, during the last four
years ; but it must be owned that the Treasury drives
a hard bargain with the refugees, for what man in his
senses, and not in the position of a Pole, would con-
sent to commute an annuity for one year's purchase ?
The Pole, however, dragging out a miserable exis-
tence on 10s. a week, and contrasting his present po-
sition with his former days of comfort and competence,
finds the temptation of being conveyed to some other
country too strong to withstand. He therefore
eagerly subscribes to the terms offered ; and it too
often happens, that having in vain attempted to pro-
cure a livelihood elsewhere, he returns here after the
lapse of a year or more, and finds himself in a worse
situation than ever.
The Association has repeatedly represented to the
Treasury the hardship of enforcing these conditions
on persons so circumstanced, and has shown that a
relaxation of the rule would involve but a trifling ex-
pense, since out of the 150 refugees who have com-
muted their allowance, there are now scarcely a dozen
in the country but these representations have proved
unavailing. iTor can the Association provide for
these persons itself : in the first place, because its
funds are insufficient ; and in the next, because by so
doing it would hold out still further encouragement
to others to commute, and the consequence would be
the transfer of a number now on the Government list
to its own. It does, however, in some cases, afford
them temporary assistance, principally with a view to
enable them to leave the country ; but it cannot pro-
vide them:witlipermanent support.
Such persons may, therefore, present themselves at
the Guildhall, and state truly that, although being
Poles who have served their country, and who are now
in distress, their claims are not admitted. In every
case, however,in which such applications are received,
IbeleavetosuggeSt that inquiry should be made
respecting them of the Association. Information will
be most readily supplied, and you, Sir, or any of your
brother Magistrates,
will immediately learn whether
the applicants are in the receipt of relief, and if not,
the reason of their exclusion.—l have the honour to
be, dear Sir, yours very faithfully,
DUDLEY COUTTS STUART, Vice-President.

SIGNS OF
TEE WEATHER. —Lord Huntingtower
appeared in the Court of Bankruptcy on Thursday in
white trousers.

Between the reigns of Edward IV. and Elizabeth,
bread and butter superseded " kychin grosse," or
dripping, for breakfast. Bread and cheese is men-
tioned as a common viand by. Diogenes Laertius.
PUBLIC Ham:rm.—in the last number of The.
Lancet is a communication from Mr. Curtis, the
aurist,
step recently taken by the bankers to shorten the
drawing the attention of the profession to the
hours of business, and stating his intention to en-
deavour to procure the adoption of a similar measure
throughout the trades in London and elsewhere. He
has already obtained the consent of many of the prin-
cipal linen-drapers, as he did that of the bankers, and
does not doubt that the proceeding will be general.
With the milliners but little good, he fears, can be
done save by legislative measures, and he states that
a Bill to control their hours of labour, the same as
for the factory girls, will be introduced next session.
His attention was first directed to the inquiry which
has prompted his remarks, we understand, by finding
that many cases of deafness were caused by close con-
finement, want of exercise, and impure air. He con-
cludes his letter with a recommendation that the public
parks be rendered more attractive and available by the
erection of casinos, where refreshments may be ob-
tained as on the Continent. In this communication
Mr. Curtis is only following up the course upon which
he catered four years ago in his work upon the. Pre-
servation of Health, which abounds in suggestions the
adoption of which would go far to convert the living
sepulchres of our country, its large towns, into the
healthy abodes of cheerful and happy beings.

ASSAM TEA..—The imports of this article recently
from Upper Assam show a considerable improvement
in the manufacture of the leaf. The cultivation of
the Tea plant by the Assam Company is proceeding
most vigorously. Those of our readers who wish to
have a pure sample of tea grown within our East
India possessions cannot do better than read an adver-
tisement of Messrs. Green and Co. in another column,
where the real article can be had.
