SUICIDE OF A CLERGYMAN.—DUBLIN, Wednesday night.—The Rey. S. H. Mason, a clergyman of the Established Church, who for many years held a situation in the office of the Ecclesiastical Commissioners, was returning in the Ulster mail steamer from Holyhead this morning, when he deliberately threw himself into the sea and was drowned, notwithstanding the most strenuous efforts to save him. He wrote a letter to the captain which leaves no room to doubt that he contemplated self-destruc tion. An old four-horse stage coach will era long be less a novelty than premature grey hair, which is fast disappearing under the effects of Herring's magnetic brushes and combs. which recent improvements have rendered almost infallible in restoring the colour to grey hair, and also in removing the agony of tie doloreux and nervous headache. N.B.—Counterfeits are being made.

This kind manner on Russia, In the hope that by raising a partial insnrrEetion she would obtain a pretext for eradicating the disturbing element in the country, she began tile ermseription ; but the giant of revolution she thereby evoked not only bAltd her plays, but now threatens her very existence in Europe. Fearful of the spread of the insurrection she imprisoned 51:,0 nobles of that province;the effect of this measure was only to spreadt o Lithuania, alarmbut and disgust among the rest of the inhabitants, and nowhere does the flame of revolution rage so fiercely as in Lithuania. And now the appointment of General Berg and the sequestration of the property of the insurgents has only served to fan the flame, and by rendering forfeiture and persecution the consequences of submission, to leave no alternative to Poland but continued and desperate resistance. The fighting of the last week bas been spread pretty equally over the whole of the Congress Kingdom (which is literally overrun with insurgents) and in Lithuania, On the 4th 500 Russian infantry and a sotnia of Cossacks attacked 150 Poles under Oxinski in the district of Wielun. The battle lasted four hours, and ended with the retreat of both sides. The Poles lost ten killed and two prisoners. Among the killed were several who had been wounded and taken prisoner by the Russians during the battle, and who after the battle were tortured to death, the Cossacks tearing out their bowels with the point of their lances. A large number of Russians fell before the accurate and effective fire of the Poles. On Easter Sunday 230 Polish rifles and 32 uhlana under Grekowicz, encountered a large body of Russians at Szklara, near the Galician frontier. The Poles were on a hill, and the RIIBBiOB occupied another hill with some cottages at its foot. A company of rifles, led by a French Zouavet began the battle by attempting to dislodge the Russians from these cottages. A storm of bullets was at once directed upon them by the Russians on the hill, but nearly all missed ; and the Poles, advancing under cover of the trees, captured the cottages with the loss of but one or two men. The struggle in these cottages was a fierce one, and many of the Russians were killed. While this was going on in the valley, the Polish rifles on the hill, most of whom were excellent shots, directed a murderous fire on the Russians opposite, who at length wavered and fled. The Poles then took up their wounded, and sent them across the frontier, where the Austrians took charge of them. They had scarcely done this when they were attacked by another body of Russians, who, however, were also forced to retire after a determined struggle. They lost at least 100 men ; the Poles had 9 killed and 20 wounded, an_ong the latter of whom was their leader. Next day the Russians approached them in such force that the insurgents thought it advisable to disperse. They have, however, since reappeared in another part of the country.  CRACOW, April 11.  M. Srzanowski, the editor of the Czas, was arrested this morning. Thirty-one Frenchmen, who were about to cross the frontier to join the insurgents, have also been seized and imprisoned. M. Bentkowski, who until the breaking out of the insurrection represented one of the districts of Posen in the Prussian Chamber, and who acted in Langiewicz's army as chief of the Staff, is still confined in the castle. Like Langiewicz, he is a Prussian subject, and was for some time an officer in the Prussian Artillery, which he left in 1848 to join the Hungarian insurrection. Most of the arrests which are now made every day in Cracow are said to be the result of denunciations from the Russian Ambassador atVienna, based upon the reports of Russian spies resident here. Every now and then a Russian spy is caught and beaten. This was the fate of one the day before yesterday. Another was chased about the market place for a little while, but having long legs as well as long eats he made good running and ultimately got off. A third, after receiving a few blows, was discovered not to be a spy at all, but only a person who, from a natural and ill-regulated thirst for information, had acquired a habit of going into cafes and listening to remarks not addressed to him. it is said now that Langiewicz's camp was much infested ty spies, and that his halting place for the night, the direction he took in commencing a march, &c., were always made known by means of shots fired off as if by accident. A spy who followed the army at a distance of some few hundred yards understood the signals, One and transmitted the news to important the Russian camp. of the numerous stories current as to Langiewicz's arrest attributes the discovery ldo ft hhei sAiudsetnr Austrian identity g y to the m es agencyw h what tf an a spy, who contrived to follow him without being observed, prisoner they had allowed to escape them while he was still witnin reach. The Dictator appears him, self to have suspected that spies might be on his track. The greater portion of the troops formerly under Langiewicz are now once more in the field. The two detachments which left the bulk of the army before Langiewicz's departure have kept their ground ever since ; and some half dozen detachments, of from 150 to 200 men each, have once more crossed the frontier from Galicia to the kingdom during the last 10 days.
