On the day of his coronation, Alexander II. pro-
claimed an amnesty to all the Polish exes. Many of
these uuiorunates in this country despared of Wailing
themselves Of the amnesty for the reason-to use the
words OF one of them-hat there is no bridge
the fe5sHntc. Such bridge however, has been fur
nisheH by's. active beneyolence of Messrs. Grinuel
q Mniurn, who have generously granted free pas
sage in their ships to number of exiles who are
anxious to return but lack the means Letters from
those who have arrived in Poland state that the am
nesy carried out TO the fullest extent by the Govern
ment' German papers give accounts of scores of
exes vending their way to their native land every
where cheered and aided by the German people. We
learn, also, that many Siberian exiles have been
under this amnesty restored to their homes and
families.

A Mr.. John S. Hittel lately residing in Califor-
NJ, has written book against Christianity, which
we have not seen, but which seems, from its pro-

reckless in its assertions as to render it harmless
Two readers Of The TRIBUNE think we should
have refused TO advertise it. In our Judgment
such refusal would have done more to circuia'e
the work than printing the advertisement dozen
times would do-nay: we doubt that there IS any

Central New-York was visited last Tuesday and the
night previous by very remarkable snow-storm.
The following is an extract from letter written by
farmer living in Paris Oneida County, and it gives nn
account of it. 1t is dated on Tuesday, April II:
Yesterday was quite Spring like-the forenoon bid
shifted to the northeast and it commenced raining,
and continued to rain moderately through the even
ing. This morning there were six or eight inches of
snow on the groand, and it was still showing irou the
northeast: never saw go much snow fall in one day
ns there has to-day think if it had not thawed any
il would have measured from three TO four feet on
leveL At p. the snow was more than u feet on
an average and very difficult to get through. II Is
now. at p. H., probably three feet, and in some
places more. Fences are almost out Of sight. The
snow has been dryer this afternoon, with some wind
which has saved our fruit trees from destruction. We
were obliged to remove the snow from some of ths
buildings 10 prevent them being crushed
This snow in the country is probably the eau'' -
the cold we experienced last week.
