PRUSSIAN PAPERS.

R;• Want of space compelled us yesterday to defer the
following articles of intelligence.
Wa usaw, JUNE 29.—The Commander-in-
Chief was yesterday informed by a person deser-
ving of confidence of the existence of a conspiracy,
:lie object of which was to arm the Russian prison-
ers, to make a division, and, perhaps, to deliver
Warsaw into the hands of the enemy, in case of
an attack, several Generals, who bad been
placed in a state of non-activity. are
said to have been at the head of the plot.
General Skrzvnecki made his report to the National
Government, who immediately ordered the arrest of
(eneral Hurtig, formerly commandant of the for-
tress of Zamosc,and the instrument of all the atroci-
ties committed there while the Grand Duke was in
power. Posterity will look upon the relation of
these atrocities as a fable. The other individuals
arrested are General Satacki, Colonel Stahecki, the
Russian Chamberlain Fanslme, M. Lessel, and
Madame Bazanon, a Russian lady ; General Jan-
kowski, now on trial for having allowed Genet-II
Rudiger to escape, is also compromised in this
affair. 'these arrests having become known, a
crowd assembled before General I-1 ig's house,
and it was with difficulty that the National
Guards, who were charged to convey him
to prison, preserved him from the fury
of the people. Paskewicz joined the army
on the the twentieth, withcnt having been de-
tained to perform quarantine on his passage
through the neutral territory of Prussia. His
head-quarters continue at Pultusk ; and the
Russian army remains in the same state cf
inactivity as previously to his arrival. It is
a singular fact that the cholera morbus always
returns after a battle with the Russians. Before
the battle of Ostrolenka the malady had com-
pletely disappeared among the Polish troops, but
has since returned with all its original violence.
The Prussian State Gazette of the 4th of July,
in an article dated from the Polish frontiers, gives
some additional information on the subject of the
conspiracy detected at Warsaw on the 28th ult.
It seems that General Hurtig W 49 in regular
correspondence with a Russian officer, Colonel
Breudl, residing at Lemberg, in and
that a certain Inez de Leo, who was formerly
an officer in the Polish army, was the usual interme-
diate agent of the two worthies. Three miliions of
florins were discovered at the house of Lessel, a con-
fectioner, and from the papers discovered in the pos-
session of the conspirators, there seems to be little
doubt that at the battle of Ostrolenka the whole of
General Skrzynecki's plans were betrayed to
the Russians. General Junkowski, and General
Bubowski, are also openly named ns having
played into the hands of the enemy, allowing Gen.
Rudiger to escape from them, after circumstances
bad completely placed him in their power.
The first intelligence of this detestable affair
appears to have been brought to Warsaw from
Gallicia, where Colonel Breutll scarcely ob-
served the caution necessary for one en-
gaged in such transactions, having received and
opened letters from his tools in Warsaw in the
presence of strangers. The plan of the conspira-
tors was, with the assistance of the Russian
prisoners, to obtain possession of the arsenal, to
arm the prisoners from the stores of that es-
tablishment, and by destroying the bridge of
Praga, to prevent the troops stationed there
from coming to the assistance of the capital.
At the same time, the Russians were to cross
the Vistula at Plock or Dobrzyn, and into
Warsaw, which, in the absence of the Polish army,
would hare been unable to offer any effectual
resistance.

The State Gazette also contains the following :
Lithuanian Frontier, June 28.—The accounts re-
ceivtd here confirm in the defeat of Generals
Gielgt.d and Chlapowski : the details are not yet
known; but it is certain that Chlapowski
was on the 24th and 25th at Kowno, with the rem-
nant of his corps, intending there to cross the
Memel, and effect his retreat by way of Marian
pol. Gen. Gielgud about the same time crossed
the Memel, a little below Kowno, and the troops
that he brought back with him are said to have
been in a melancholy condition. It is also
confirmed that Putchet leas been beaten
at Lubow. His conduct, and that of the men
men under his command, is said to have been such,
that his approach excited dread in town and village,
so that before the annihilation of his corps the ma-
gistrates sent a deputation to Gen. Gielgud, to
request him to deliver the country from such a
curse.

The Konigsberg Gazelle contains an article to
pretty nearly the same effect. We leave it to
the discretion of our readers to determine
the degree of confidence to which Loth are en-
titled. In Warsaw, the latest news from General
Gielgud, it is true, reached only to the 18th of
June ; on which day, however, his operations
seem to have been attended by the most complete
success.

Great and painful excitement was caused yester-
day among the Russian merchants in the City, on
account of the intelligence from St. Petersburgh,
dated the 13th ult. stating that the cholera morbus
had made its appearance in that capital.
Extract from a letter, dated Riga, 15th (27th) of
June:—" If any of our friends appear anxious ;
about their goods here, you may say that those;
who have the best sources of information have
given us to understand that there is no reason for
indulging in any apprehension whatever, as the
Emperor has lately issued another Manifesto to
the Lithuanians, which is likely to have much more !
effect than any other means he could have adopted
in bringing about, and it is the first st'p, we be-
lieve, towards a consummation most devoutly to
be wished.' The state of the sickness, up to yes- i
terday morning, was 3,693 cases, viz.-1,6441
deaths, 1,557 recoveries, and 481 still sick and in ,
progress of recovery, exclusive of those in military
hospitals and convents."
CRESSY.—The road from Nonv:on lies through
part of the forest of Cressy ; the village of Creasy,
which gives its name to the victory in 1346, and
of which the English are so justly proud, is out of
the route on the left. The portion of its forest
through which the road passes will recall to the
English traveller the remembrance of Edward 111.
and the Black Prince. The allusion to the battle
of Cressy, in the French hincraire, is ingenious :•
" Les Champs de Crecy, celdbres par la bataille ou
les Anglais se servirent pour la premiere fois de
canons." They have omitted with what success,
and who were the victors.—Route from London to.

On Saturday, a Court for the Relief of insolvent Debtors
was held at the Shire Hall, in Chelmsford, when ten insol-
vents appeared to claim the benefit of the Act. James
Andrews, the son of a fainter at Debden, had been arrested
for 391. at the suit of a person ramed Edmund Clifford, of
London, who bad given notice of opposition, but it was
not convenient for him to appear.
This case. upon examination, exhibited an organized
system of raising the wind, by means not exactly honest.
The insolvent stated, that about last September he saw an
advertisement in a newspaper, offering to lend several sums
of money. lie being anxious to get into business for him-
elf. applied to the person referred to in the advertisement,
who proved to be Edmund Clifford, Esq. of 22, John-street,
Adelpbi. Mr. Clifford received him my politely ; informed
him he was a conveyancer, and agreed t,, lend him 3001.
A short time after, *Cake, appeared at Debden, and pre-
vailed upon the insolvent to sign two blank papers, in which
no sum was named to his knowledge at the time, but they
afterwards proved to be bills, and had since been filled up,
one for 301. and the other for 2001. At the time insolvent
signed the papers, Clifford told hint he had got the money
in his pocket which he proposed to advance, and that he
would pay it into the bank. Insolvent went to the bank the
next morning, but he did not find the cash there, nor had he
ever receives] a halfpenny. Ile was arrested upon the 301.
bill and thrown into prison.
It was here stated, that three or four farmers had also
been duped by bills of exchange to a very large amount in a
similar manner ; and that a true bill for a fraud upon one
of them bad been found against Clifford, at the last Assize
for this county, but he could not then be found.
The insolvent's solicitor said, that the bill for 2001. signed
by insolvent, had found its way into the hands of a person
in London, who had applied for payment. and whose name
was entered in the schedule as a creditor to that amount.—
, Cliffani's attorney, whose name appeared in the proceedings,
resided at the time in the same house with his client, but
was now in Whitecrossattreet prison. The said three farmers
were now in Court, ready to he examined, if necessary, who
had been duped out of 71101. in the same manner, and by the
same parties.
The Commissioner directed that no dividend upon the bill
for 2001. should be paid, without the strictest inquiry as to
how the person became possessed of it.
The insolvent was ordered to be discharged.
Most of our readers are perfectly well acquainted with the
scandalous perversion of the funds of St. Magdalen's Hospi-
tal, a Charity instituted for the equal benefit of an incum-
bent and certain aged widows, which latter only receive one
shilling per week, while the ample revenues arc pocketted by
a Clergyman. We have authority for stating, that Mr.
Senythies himself, during the inquiry which has been insti-
tuted into the abuses of this Charity, has acknowledged his
income from the lands and tenements to be about 2501. per
annum ; but in his account, tendered on oath, we find a
house in Pelham-lane, in the occupation of a Mr. Bawer,
stated by hint to pay only 11. a year rent, which would be
cheap at 301. yearly. Mr. Sinythles has acknowledged the
receipt of six thousand pounds in money.

GREAT Ton or Ltwcoest. There is reason to fear
that Great Tom's restoration will be found impracticable,
except by re-casting. The drilling plan has been pursued
with much ingenuity and perseverance by Poole and Bar-
row, under the directions of Mr. Bishop, and 28 stone
weight of metal has been taken out ; hut though the fissure
seemed to have been eradicated, the tone was not restored.
There was an improvement certainly perceptible as corn.
pared with the harsh shrieking sound emitted just before
the bell was disused a few years ago, but that is all that can
Le said for the operation. Titc fine mellow musical Tom
was no more ; but in its stead, some hoarse ill-utnened gong,
that seemed to

" Set the city's teeth on edge,
" Proclaim the universal world ajar,
" At.d fright the isle from her propriety !"
Within the last day or two the workmen have discovered a
remarkable interior flaw in the bell communicating with the
fissure, and probably the original cause of its having oc.
curred. This flair or cavity has at present the appearance
of going entirely round the bell, and Mr. Poole is engaged
in tracing its extent it has of course existed ever since the
ca.etir: in the time of James 1. and had it been then de-
tected must Lave caused the bell to have been condemned
at once as a " waster," and the founder to have gone to
work afresh.

DERBY REPORTER, July 7.
Six candidates have announced themselves by advertise.
mant to represent this county. Sir Roger Gresley, Sir
George Creevc, Mr. T. Gisborne, Lord G. H. Caven-
dish, Lord Waterpark, and Mr. G. J. Vernon. These may
be called the entries, but all may not start. Mr. It. Ark.
weight is also named by uuthorlty.
Two large hay stacks, containing nearly one hundred tons,
standing at Hanging Bridge, near Ashboutn, the property
of Thomas Hartshorn, Esq. were about eleven o'clock on
Monday night discovered to be on fire. On an alarm being
made, the inhabitants of Aahbourn and the neighbourhood,
with the fire engines belonging to ithe town, were promptly
on the spot, to render assistance, and although for several
hours no hopes were entertained that any part would be
saved, at six o'clock the following morning, by great and
unwearied exertions, the fire was nearly subdued. We re-
gret to State there can be no doubt of this being the act of
an incendiary. threatening words being previously written
on the adjacent building, and a quantity of deal shavings
having been discovered since the fire took place in a corner
of an uninjured rick.
On Saturday night week, between eleven and twelve
o'clock, a fire was discovered in the stack-yard of Mr. Store,
farmer and grocer, of Bassingham, a village in the county of
Lincoln, and about eight miles from Newark. The inha.
bitants were soon roused from their beds, when it was found
that two very large straw stacks were on fire, and as there
was no prospect of saving them, their attention was directed
to the valuable haystacks which were near, and which they
happily succeeded in saving, by applying wet rugs, blankets,
&c. though not without some part of them being much
scorched : there is not the least doubt of its being the work
of an incendiary. The straw stacks, which contained about
30 loads each, a waggon loaded with thatch, and a quantity
of loose straw and thatch, were totaily consumed. An at-
tempt had beer. made to fire the barn, which was full of
wheat, as a sheaf was found neat the picking-hole partly
consumed. It is supposed that the incendiary threw fire in
at the hole, but the wheat being rather damp would not ig-
nite. About the same time, the Rod Barn, belonging to
Mr. Sewell, in the same parish, and a neighbour of Mr.
Store's, was discovered in flames by Sewell, as he was re-
turning from a christening, and was totally consumed.—
There is no doubt of it being fired by the same hand.
WIRKSWORTH JUSTICI ROOltfo-.On Wednesday, the
21st of June last, Samuel Walker and John Wakefield, of
WWl:worth, retailers of beer, were convicted in .108. each
and cmets, for selling beer on the Sunday, before and be.
tween the hours of ten and one in the forenoon, contrary to
the act of parliament. And Taylor, of Cromford,
was fined Mt. and costs, for killing a rabbit on the lands of
Richard Arkwright, Esq. at Cromford.
Mr. Nlosedale, engineer, of this town, has constructed a
machine for preparing brick clay under the direction of the
invcntcr, Mr. Bakewell. These machines grind more uni-
formly, and temper more evenly than any in general use.—
Mr. Bakewell's spring brick mould is also an ingenious in.
vention. The mould opens on a hinge at one of its angles,
and closes by a spring latch. By the use of this mould
bricks tray be made of a stiffer clay, consequently will sink
less in drying, and will be more solid and durable when
burnt.

Tire Pi r.carst OAK.—On Sherwood Forest, by the left
hand side of the turnpike-road, leading from Nottingham
to Mansfield. about one hundred yards north of the little
poorhouse, universally known by the name of Robin Hood's
Hut, being, it is said, the place where that distinguished
outlaw often resorted, to levy his tax upon the passing tra-
veller, stands a majestic spreading oak. When the late Lord
Byron's grandfather held the Newstead estate, he ordered
all the trees on his domain that were saleable to be cut
down ; this, however, was preserved from the fate of the
others, by Mr. Duelsworth, a wealthy and highly respect-
able attorney of Mansfield, who had often, when on his read
Ito Nottingham, admired its beauty; and hearing that his
favourite was about to share the common fate, went himself
Ito Newatrad and offered Lord Byron 501. to allow it to re-
main, which offer his Lordship readily accepted, and an
agreement was speedily made, to the effect that neither Lord
Byron, or any future proprietor of Newatead, should ever
have the power to cut down this tree but when it dies, the
ground on which it stands, or overshadows with its wide-
spreading branches, should again belong to the possessor of
the Newatead estate. This agreement is regularly entered
in the estate deeds, and we should think, ft is the only tree
in existence' which it would be unlawful to cut down. Mr.
Dodsworth deserves to have his name recorded and ren-
dered illustrious, for a deed so noble. Until within these
few years, this tree was partly surrounded by young trees,
planted by the late Lord Byron, but CoL Wildman has
cleared them away for a a considerable distance, and with
excellent taste, has his principal entrance from the London
road, opposite to it. The outer branches are about 200
feet in circumference, and the bole, about 4 feet from the
ground, measures 13 feet in circumference ; the tree ap-
pears to be about 150 years of age; and looked when we
saw it last spring, remarkably healthy. Colonel Wildman
was then about erecting a seat round it, as an accommo-
dation and rest for the weary ttaveller.—From the Horti-
cultural Register.

We give place to the following, rather for the sake of ha
entiments than its versification.
THE LITTLE MINER'S COMPLAINT.
I wonder who there is like me,
Beneath the spacious sun ?
For I no merry moments see,
No frolic and no fun.
Ere moon and stars have ceas'd to shine,
I'm roused from my bed,
And deep descend this dreary mine,
To gain a scanty bread.
In midst of dangers, toils, and pains,
Tug at my cheerless work ;
Expos'd to damp and deadly flames,
And used like a Turk.
No healthy breeze, no flow'ry sweets,
No prospects bright and fair:
No clust'ring clouds, like sailing fleets—
'Tis only darkness here.
I've heard of blacks beyond the sea—
Some call them little slaves—
Ah ! would they'd make a black of me,
I'd cross the trackless waves.
They sport about on sunny plains,
Are cheerly, gay, and glad ;
But I am doosu'd to drag these chains,—
No wonder I am sad.
The beasts that roam the forest wile,
The birds that skim the sky,
The ashes in the ocean's tide,
Arc happier than I.
Where herons wave their weary wing,
Along some lonely shore,
Where billows foam and fishes sin
Oh, had I wings, I'd soar.
Sweet butterfly, I'd fir with you,
We'd rove the meadows round,
And sip the sweets, and drink the dew
Which gently kiss the ground.
I'd freely change with any thing,
If %were a lonely flower.
And bloom as hap?y as a king
In some sequest red bower.
One pleasing thought still cheers me on,
Like sunshine in a shower ;
The Sabbath dawns—away I'm gone,
T' improve the sacred hour.
to learn whate'er I can,
And on this hope I'll rat;
And bear it till I grow a man,
And then I'll judge what's best.
