DISSATISFACTION OF THE PRESS.

POLISH rRONIlbh, ldne o.
The foreign Polsh press expresses itself dssstsfed
Ast the Government has not already carried the eman
sapsSon Of the serfs in Poland 20 the endowment of
pseperty instead Of leaving eho sorfs in the condition
tAst hey now are Of NEE feebolders. This complaint,
AsveyeI, 10 entirely unjust, for the Government has
.st acted in the matter according TO its own Judgment,
bsa according 10 the unanimous decision OF Polish
Csmmittee Of Conference, who saw the greatest dan
eer in an immediate endowment Of property on the
p.ssspts. And the Committee was right; for go de-
rrsSsa are the Polish peasants that before long their
vyeperty would have fallen into the clutches OF the
Jew u.urers who supply them with articles Of neces
sjty. especisDy brandy. As fee-holders they must
vsyh independently, and must be willing TO learn TO
earn their subsistence and property as to keep them
selves cut Of the hands of the petty Jews, who hther
10 have been the middemen in ell their transactions.
I. less than ten yesrs the Polish peasant who is nau
raBy very clever will have become sober, industrious
and thrifty and then the preparatory and nitiatory
tssssitisn fttp will be accomplished go that the Gov
eminent can without hesitation proceed to give HIM
the right Of possession. The result is all the more cer
tain 70 be satisfactory siDce the Government is now In
tsrettpg itself in the education of the youth Of the
ssaen.

psssse s seen in the fact that in 1861 in all Russia and
Poland only little more than sixteen million lettsrs
vsre sent through the .-Oce, while the number IN
Esrsnl amounted 10 over 500 millions, aud In France
10 half the same pumber. 10 Eoglaud, the number
averaged for each inhabitapt Il letters, in France
bot in Russia only one letter for every four persons.

The daily press of Russia and Poland is wsrring with
The hsppest results agsDst the decentralization OF pub

poems Of the poet Lwo and through hosts of exceed

posed.

tlst place, has received favorable response with
which the Poles are in the highest degree delighted.
