The Dis turbanees Ia Poland.

Writing on the 18th ult., the Warsaw
correspondent of the Eastern Budget
says: THE riots which have taken
United Creek exarchy of Chelm are not
without some political significance, and
have caused considerable excitement
among the Poles here. The papers
are not allowed TO print anything on the
subject. and the consequence is that all
sorts of exaggerated rumofs are circu-
lated about the conflicts between the
troops and the peasants in the above
districts. An authentic report has Just
appeared ia the Government paper. but.
as usual with such official reports .peo-
pie do not believe that il tells the whole
/ truth. II states that in October last
the United Greek Bishop of Chelm
issued circular TO the clergy directing
them to carry out the reforms which
we're begun in 1854. but had since then
len into abeyance The organs and
bells used in the Roman Catholic
Church were 10y this ordered TO be Civ.
EN- up, and the Russian language TO be
employed az divine service instead of
the Polish. All these chagnes were TO
be completed by the beginning Of the
present year The peasants, however.
preferred 10 retain the anciep. practice.
and when the priests attempted to read
the service in Russian they were turned
out of the churches and the doors lock
cd. In three villages the attitude of
the peasants was so menacing that
troops had 60 be called in to restore
order. The most serious Of tho DIS
turbances occurred ut Pratulino, where
a staff officer, several regimental
officers, and a number of soldiers were
wounded by the peasantry, while of
the latter nine were killed and fourteen
wounded. Great indignation is excited
10y the Poles at the conduct of the
Government in this matter, and even
the Moscow Gazette strongly censures
the authorities for having interfered so
indiscreetly with the religious pre-
JUDGES of the peasantry.

A PHILADELPBIA TOWER ONE THOUSAND
FEET HIGH.-The tower of Babel was a
pigny to what a company of enterpris-
ing bridge builders propose to construct
as toy to grace the approaching GEN.
tennial exhibition in that city. 1t is to
be of wrought iron, l 900 feet in height.
and beside it such structures as the
dome Of st. Peters, the pyramids of
Egypt and Bunker Hill monument
would be dwarfed into insignificance.
The tower is to be circular in section
$50 feet in diameter at the base, dimin-
ishins to 80 feet at the top. 1t is pro-
posed to have spiral staircases winding
around the centre tube for those pre-
ferrins to walk up, but elevators will
he provided, which are calculated to
ascend to the top in three minutes.
