      liorr . J . JUsseks ridiculed the apprehensions which wel ' c eau-i 'aineil wiili re *!*; . - ! to the 3 or : i : i . l : ible influence of ilie . tcsuits * thev u-erca learnedaiulnbiebodyuf iiu-n , and had effected uiutfi i r the spread of Cliriitiaiiity in variJUi partsof the world . Sji ' -H-eiics having been dolivei . d in favour of the hill , by Messrs . I ' aMugion , J . G'Co . uv ; 1 , lioniiwk-k , and Millies , and against it , hy Mr . E < tc « urt , Col . Sii'tliorp , and Mr . Harris , tlie second reading was carried hy a majority « f « .

      LACE FACTORIES BILL . Mr . T . S . llcscuHKE presented = j petition from 3 , 425 individuals engaged in In : e factories , ] iraiii : £ the house to pass a Mil for the li :-: Station of «! w hours of ids lit lahour in all factories where bobbins an-. l net aud warp lace lnarSiitiery was in use . Tliey stated that ihe pi cseiif hours oi" labour were so long that their health ami morals wire dc-troyed , and they prayed that tile house might jia-S a bill to shorten their lu . urs « f labour per day , coinninnanj , ' at six o ' clock ju the niuniiug aud closing at not later than ten at night . Ordered to He on the table .

      Tl : c hon . member then introduced a bill grounded on the above petition , and as that petition had been received by the hou < c , he hoped that uo opposition woalit i-e ofiVrcd to the bill , as he believed that the government would oiler jiooj'i'csitioiito the iiirradnctiou of tlie Idll . He did not tliiuk lit to occujir tlie house any lunger . The right Iioh . bsronct , the Secretary of State , could , of course , make any objections he thought proper on the seeond rinding , as his assent to the introduction of the bill would not at all bind him as to any future course he may think lit to adopt

      sir J . GaiUAM had always had an objection to interferiuj with the hours of labour . The lwu . gentleman had stated very fairly that lie hr . d not refused Ills assent to such a bill a * this being brought in . iiarticularly as that sicji would not hinder him from pursuing any course In insy think fit on a future occasion , and as before the second readins he would have an opportunity of reading all its provisions and of seeing what was objectionable . He always understood that the lace-trade was different from the bulk of those businesses iu which machinery was tiit chief means of production : and that , therefore , iliere was nut the same objection to long hours in this businc-s ; but whea the biU was brought in lie would be able tti state more explicitly his opinion respecting it . After a short conversation , in which Mr . J . lleathcoate , Mr . Pancombe , Mr . Fiehleu , Colonel Hollcston , Sir G .-oi ^ ge Strickland , and Sir James Graham took part , leave was given to bring in the bill .

      The other business in the paper having been disposed of , the house adjourned at half-past five o ' clock . HOUSE OF LOUDS—TncjisDAY , Mabch 32 .

      The Polish Insur Rection. F C3iitiini«"F...

      THE POLISH INSUR RECTION . f C 3 iitiini « "f /«>«» our fifth page . ' ] of day inquire- foreign conquests ill order to strengthen liers .-lf within ? The conseiousness of your national existence ami the situation it holds point out something els « to you . Prussia holds a separate and secured station amongst the Powers of Europe , she holds an impregnable and powerful position in Germany , and its pol . ticitl aggrandisement now depvuds onl y ou tho spontaneous development of her strength and her own in . ternal means . This position she conquered in her struggle tor the independence in Germany .

      It requires , above all , not the continuation of a selfish policy ot dynasty and family , such as may suit Vienna , but the representation and the support of nationality , and of the German national unity . How contrary to nature , then , is the alliance between the Prussian statethat lever of national German progress in wisdom and polity—lllld ItuSSiu , whose princip le is the suppression of all iuteilceuialand moral improvement ; which , wherever its iron sceptre rales , oppresses national rights as well as those of famil y and conscience , and reduces man to the level of an inert machine 1 Xo , never will the sentiment of your national honour , never will the spirit of frankness so peculiarly German which animates jou , consent to an aliianee which , transforming you into voluntary instruments « f Russian tvraimy , will stamp with the seal of

      falsehood and hypocrisy the entire of your interior political life , all your efforts iu favour of civilisation and of right , ail that which constitutes your nationality , all your zeal for religion , and liberty of practising it in its various forms—lastly , all which serves as a basis to the high position which you occupy among the different nations of Germany as well as among the people of Europe . And it is with this confidence that we at present tender you tlie hand for a more noble fraternisation , which will afford you an opportunity of proving that really aud seriously you are what you wish to appear ia the eyes of Europe . Be assured , in the first place , that we aro firmly persuaded that the forces of our people will prove sufseient to break the chains of our tyrants . AU wc ask of j ou , then , is a mural assistance

      on your part ; not a cold and egotistical neutrality , bat a syuiy-rtiictic jmd fraternal benevolence for our people when tliey shall again rise to recover their rights by tu . fgaging iu a war to the knife . We make this appeal toyou , or we are weil aware that there are many among you who are indignant at the crimes of your Cabinet—many who , in tlie eyes of Europe of the l ' Jth century , blush for the disgrace which the shameful political brigandage of the last century has , through the medium of jour governors , entailed upou Prussia . You are proud of the omnipotence of public opinion , which has been preserved among you in spite of the chains with which it has been attempted to bind it . Well , then , it is to it we appeal iu the name even of your real interests . Would you but listen to us !

      "Vet one more word upon the future . Whatever may be the result of our struggle , your hostility to us can never bring upon you anything but misfortune and iualedictiui > s . If we succumb , you will be the first to suffer from the conquering Muscovite . To him the most sacred conventions arc not binding . To him the right of nations is sin empty name , and you may rest assured that upon the smoking ruins of Poland he will bring his hordes to assault your own independence . How would it be if you should then say to yourselves , "We are justly served for our conduct to Poland I" How would it be if , instead of being enabled to arm yourselves with that invincible force , the property of a noble people having justice on its side , you could but invoke with a troubled conscience , ihe divinities , honour , national independence ,

      and civil an I religious liberty , outraged by your hostility to Poland S We confide in God , and in our own strength , to gain the victory , whilst you remain our enemies . Oh 1 then if we even could aud would forget your injustice towards us , we should find our revenge iu the contempt ot the people of Europe . The ground upon which your power and prosperity rest will crumble under the vanquished allies of the Asiatic tyrants—for Prussia can never remain great and powerful but so long as she shall possess the confidence and esteem of the generality of the German people , aud by means of tlieill il prepon . derating influence upon their intellectual and political activity . But , we prefer entertaining the consolatory

      hope that our words will meet with a fnendly reception at your hands ; that in your daily progress in the path of political development you will come forward openly to meet the fraternal ties which we offer you , so that our future triumph may be saluted with sympathy even by yourselves , as a victory of national liberty over thearbi . traryopprcssion of tyranny , as the re-establishment of the protecting rampart of European civilisation to prevent the advance of Asiatic barbarity . We tender you our fraternal hand : ne offer it in the name of our nation , since it cannot at present tender its own , being bound , as it is , by a foreign chain . Grasp it ; it is armed for your liberty and for that of Europe .

      Drawn up in the land of exile , this 29 th of November , mo . P . utis , Saturbav . "Wevrite , " observes the National , "under the inspiration of two letters from the pens of combatants , now masters of Cracow ; one is a soldier , the other a Catholic clergy man—a soldier , too , whose hand trembled with emotion -when he wrote his account , which is a real hymn . One of those letters is dated Cracow , iu the evening of the 22 ud of February , the provisional government having constituted aud installed itself at eight o ' clock in the morning , in the tower of St . Christopher . The whole city was in a state of excitement , bordering on frenzy ; females , mounted ou horses , paraded the

      streets , bearing Polish eagles and banners , embroidered with their own hands . During the entire day fresh reinforcements poured in , headed , some bynoblemen , others by parish priests—toe first , fully equipped aud riding splendid horses , and the others provided with ail sorts of arms ; and , before those volunteers repaired to the seat of government , clergymen attired in their vestments , blessed the arms , tlie nun , and t :-: c banners , amidst deafening shouts of 'Poland for ever ! ' 'That adored country , ' writes the clergyman , ' so long defunct , appeared to iae vising from the "rave . 1 fancied 1 beheld her with my own eyes , that 1 touched her with my own hands ! Her wounds were healed , the immortal God had animated her with his breath ; she was living .

      Oh , emigrants , regretted friends—you , the sons of her blood , how I pity you no : to have assisted at that glorious resurrection V The capture of Cracow was executed with extraordinary skill . Two false attacks w « re made , in order to draw oft the attention of Prussia , on Posnatiia , and on the Russian frontiers . In the meantime the insurgents rallied , and , on the 19 th and 20 th , movements broke out in Gallicia , to keep the Austrian troops occupied , whilst tlie revolutionary government , which was already formed , had addressed an appeal to 25 , 000 volunteers . The moment the signal for niarehin" was given , the

      Austrian garrison of Podgorze ( a suburb ot Cracow , iroin which it is separated by a bridge over the Vistula ) repaired in ail haste to protect the Senate and the residents ; bat at midnight , ou the 21 st of February , the Austrians were vigorouslv attacked , driven out of their quarters , and obliged to retire precipitatel y across the bridge , which was burnt by tlie insurgents immediately aficrwards . At four o ' clock the main force of the insurgents entered the city , whose numbers amounted t » nt hast 12 . 000 . At eight o'clock the provisional government issued a manifesto . " The Reforms

      says—The accounts to-day received relative to the insurrection in Poland are of the most serious charterer . Should the news of the taking of Lemberg ly the in . surgents be confirmed , it must prove a success of the most brilliant nature , and one likely to prove of the greatest utility w them . It was before that place that the confederates of liar failed to signally in their attempts . It is said that the Jews have espoused the cause of the revolutionists . Such adhes ' oii will prove of the last importance . The Jews possess great financial power , and , moreover , keep up a regular and constant correspondence with other nation .-. Letters have been received at Paris , by a rich banking-house , conveying intrlligenee of a later date than that contained in the German papers . The following is the substance of the information thus received : —

      " The insurrection is rapidly spreading . It has already reached the Itu-sian provinces . It has extent ! ed to Courlaiuie and Livonia . Emire regiments have passed over to the . -side of the insurgents . " Oti the Austrian frontier some Hungarian and Italian regiments have likewise juined the insurgents . " Paris , Sunday . Various and numerous are the reports circulating at Paris touching the iusunvction in the Polish provinces ; it was even said that it had spread to Hungary and Lumbardy . Up to the present moment , however , these reports are void of foundation . The insurrection is confined to the Polish provinces ; tmd Lemberg , the capital of Gallicia , is not in the power of the insurgents , as was reported . The state of things at Craeow on the 27 th of February , h " vc days after the retreat of the Austrians , remained the same .

      The Austrian troops , oriven from Cracow , were still at YVadowizc , but surrounded and harassed by the insurgents , and their communications with Uohcniia , whence they expected reinforcements , cut olf . General Count Urbnahas been named Commanderin-Chief of all the troops in Gallicia . The Count of Brandenburg has been recalled , and one of the papers announces his return to Breslau . lie is replaced by Lieutenant-General Ruhr . The provisional government , puzzled by the

      conduct of the Prussian army , who remained passive , had opened negotiations with Count Brandenburg . This provisional government declared Joudjr Unit they desired peace with Prussia , and that they would leave Cracow to their care , should thev be called elsewhere to seek safety from the combined nrmicH of Austria and Russia . But-, according to a letter received to-day , it seems that ibis negotiation has met with serious obstacles from the interior of the republic , and the provisional government has been blamed for letting themselves be deluded by hopes which nothing iiistiiies .

      AevcTihclu ; s , terrible symptoms , not ol * insurrection , but of regular pillaging , have manifested themselves in the vicrmmi province of Silesia . According to the same letter , ami the information is runfii'itiud by the Cologne Gazetlr nf U : e ( i-h of . March , the town ol . Xicoiui , the property of Prince AuhuU-Kotthuii ,

      The Polish Insur Rection. F C3iitiini«"F...

      distant ten leagues from Cracow , on the high road to Berlin , and on the line of communication of General Rohr , has been reduced to ashes by some persons unknown , who set fire to the four quarters of the town . The greatest order reigns at Cracow . All the valuables ol the Cathedral have been taken for the public good , with the exception of the ornaments belonging to the tombs of Sobieski , Kosciusko , and of Prince Joseph Poniatowski , where a guard of honour has been placed . The provisional government has obtained funds from some of the bankers and Jews without guarantee , aud at the intetest of five pev cent . It is utterly impossible for us to give a just calculation of the forces of the insurgents ; it is certain that since Gallicia is open to them they have great resources .

      Gallicia extends over a , surface of about eighty square leagues along the banks of the Vistula , and has a population of 122 , 000 souls . According to the Cologne Gazette , Louis Garskowski , one of * the members of the government , was formerly librarian to the Museum of Natural History at Cracow ; John Lisowski , of Tyssowski , is a physician ; tho third is a simple citizen of Cracow , named Grzegoneivski . They are all young men of energy and courage . The Radical French journals have already opened a subscription towards the expenses of the insurrection ; and it is asserted that a committee is now forming to assist the movement , and excite the sympathy of the French people in fiivour of its success .

      MOVEMENTS OF THE POLISH REFUGEES . The Journal des iiebais of Sunday states that—On Saturday morning , in the midst of a considerable number of Polish refugees , who crowded to the Hotel Lambert , to visit Prince Czartoryski , attracted naturally by the eicitingnews from Poland , the principal members of a political association , styled the Monarchical Society of the 3 rd of May , having at their head their president , Colonel liramski , presented nn address to Prince C' zartory ski , in the name of more than one thousand members , all Polish emigrants , of which this association is composed , The sentiments expressed by that important fraction of the Polish emigration were declarations of union aud confidence iu him whom those emigrants design as their natural leader . They promise Prince

      Czartoryski the most constant assistance and strict obedience to his commands , persuaded that , however great may be their generous impatience , his aid is particularly necessary , in order that the emigrants , by their representatives , may efficaciously join iu the heroic contest which is recommencing in Poland , They conclude by declaring that the time fur sacrifices having arrived , they oiler to those of their companions in exile , who do not participate in the opinions which the society of the 3 rd Maj lias propagated during several years , the pro \ isionul surrender of their doctrines and of their theories , in order to unite the entire body of emigrants iu one baud , directed by the Prince , and affording him their support . The Prince replied by paying homage to the heioic rising which has taken place on several points of Poland . lie

      declared that he was determined to aid it by all means in his power . Those means would , no doubt , be increased by the assistance of the exiles . Then , without waiting longer , they might furnish considerable support to the country . They would obtain fer Poland allies , a loan , aud the universal support of public opinion . In expressing his gratitude to the Society of the od May , the Prince explicitly declared , that from the period of the found Ation of the society to the present moment , whilst he rendered full justice to the spirit of order , of ( Helpline , and of devotion of its members , he had ever regretted that that society , whose tendency to a national insurrection aud monarchical doctrines he approved , had thought fit to extend the application of that principle to his person , so

      that whilst it was only au idea , it deprived his life , said the Prince , of that character whiph it was his ambition to acquire , that of the purest disinterestedness in the service of his country . In abaniJouing its theories to unite all hearts in a common and concerted action , the Society of the 2 d of May removed the solo barrier which separated it from him . lie accepted it with joy , he said , and the example of the sacrifice which it had made . lie likewise could not forget , that , at present , Poland alone could appoint a leader , or constitute a national government , lie would continue to serve the cause , to fpe . ik to foreign nations iu the name of Poland , but he would be ready , every day , to give the first example of obedience to the manifestations of the national will .

      GERMAN SYMPATHY . Letters from Coblentz state , that several inhabitants of . the "lower order" were arrested there in the evening of the 1 st , in consequence of a riot between them and some soldiers at a public-house . The" mob" attempted a rescue , and throw stones at the patrol , at the same time shouting— " Long live the Poles ; " but tranquillity was immediately restored on the appearance of the governor with two companies of the line . Paius , Monday .

      The German journals which arrived this morning do not bring much news respecting the insurrection in Poland . The Aapbwg Gaseue states that General Paskewitsch has offered to place a corps d ' avmee at the service of the Archduke Ferdinand of Austria , but that it is not probable that the offer will be accepted , as the Austrians consider their own force more than suliicient to put down the insurrection in their part of the Polish territory . The Austrian Career publishes the following report by General Collin of the defeat of the insurgents at Podgorze : — Podgoiizb , Feb . 27 . ' _ I yesterday afternoon left YVadowizc with five companies of the I'nd battalion of Sehivuling infantry , the 3 rd battalion of Prince Werther ' s regiment , the militia corps , & squadron of light cavalry , and a half battery . Having passed the night at Isbebuik , I continued my march , and arrived before Podgorze at six A . M .

      The insurgents had taken possession of the first floors of the houses in the principal streete , and of the Treasury , from which they fired upon my troops . After a short mistimce , tlwy took to night , and passed the briiige of Cracow . During that operation they lost a great many men . A short time afterwards I wa « attacked in the rear by a battalion which had arrived at Welicczka from Craeow . My troops met the attack of the assailants with great bravery , A great number of the rebels were killed , and 89 made prisoners . The remainder dispersed . IVe had one man killed and seven wounded . To-morrow morning reinforcements will arrive here when I will despatch two companies of militia and some cavalry to Welicczka , for I am at present in ignorance of what is transpiring in that town . Several more arrests have been made at Posen , but the whole of Prussian Poland is said to be " tranquil . " The National publishes the following appeal of M . J . Riccitudi , to the Italian refugees : —

      Permit me , through your medium , to address an appeal to my fellow countrymen , thrown on the land of exile , and who , like me devoted their life to the cause of liberty . A heroic nation has risen oncu more in Europe—a . nation in possession of universal sympathy , but whom we must took upon wiih a fraternal eye , for dismembered and oppressed like Italy , it is desirous to acquire that unity and independi-nce alter which wc ardently sigh . Our two causes being identical , until Italy rise once more , all our countrymen should not only offer their pecuniary mite , but be ready to take an active part in the sublime effort now making by the Polish nation . Being certain of anticipating and expressing the sentiments of my br « tliren , I did not hesitate to take the initiative , and 1 have every eontidenee that my appeal will be heard . Messrs . do Rochau and Venedez , two German refugees , had inserted the following letter in the liefonnc : —

      Thepait which Prussia and Austria have acted in the partition of Poland is a ranguinary stigma on the honour of the German nation , which it can only efface by assisting Poland with all its influence and might in reconquering her liberty aud nationality . It is not only a most sacred duty , but tlie deare * t interest of every German priding hhiuelf on being : i mini of honour , and possessing a shadow of sentiments of justice and national conscience , to support the Polish people with his most active sympathies iu the work of resurrection , on which she has again entered with so much devotion and ecUt . Iu depositing our offering in favour of Poland , we express a hope that public eouscienee may at last compel the Governments to render justice to so noble and hcroiu a people , whose mhfortune and bondage' will be as long as they endure an indelible disgrace fur tlit Germtm nation . Paris , March 8 , 1810 . We also exti-act the following letter from the Ilejorme : —

      10 THE rOLlSH VOLUNTEERS . Paris , March 7 . Time presses , our brethren arc shedding their blood for our dear country ! Every minute lost will be hereafter imputed to us as a ciime . Let us prove to the world that Polish Wood still flows iu our veins , and that sufferings of every description have not cooled the warm patriotism which buri . s in our bosoms , and which is reanimated in them at every instant like a divine spark of the sacred fire of the holiest of causes . Consequently , without any consultation , without the cold calculation of reason , iu the name of the Father , the Son , the Holy Ghost , and our country , we are repairing to Poland .

      If our brethren , according to cold calculating minds , are committing a folly for Poland , it behoves us exiled soldiers to concur in that folly ! Nicholas Kamienski , Formerly Commander ot a Kegirneut of Cavalry , lluusKi , Major . lUoiKSKi , iliiior . Olszevski , Captain . Some of our Gallic contemporaries arc extremely anxious to know what part the French government ought to take with regard to the insurrection in Poland . The Counter Francais , lor instance ,

      speculates on the meeting of the Opposition Deputies in one of the Bureaux of the Chamber , iiiuouiiced for Tuesday , and at which M . llupont ( de l'Kiire ) is to preside . The Courrier is decidedly in favour of an active interference on behalf of the Polish insurgents , aud the National is even more revolutionary than the Poles themselves . The Silcle has an article much in the same spirit as these of the Courrier francais and the Rational , but the ConxliUtliomicl directs its attention chielly to Russia . In the course of some observations < m the rising of a portion of the Polish provinces , the Cmsiilitlionncl says : — "Russia has

      been resolved to obliterate the very last trace of ancient Poland ; she has proscribed her language , proscribed her religion , and now provokes imprudent outbreaks in order to create a plausible pretence for tearing from the country by death , by slavery , or by exile , the elite of its population , all that were able to counteract the work of Russia and bring about tit least a renovation . Russian despotism—that combination of all the cruelty of the East , with the calculations and refinements of civilisation—has long been pronounced upon . " The ministerial journal , the Epoque , thinks it ( he more prudent course to await further intelligence before it pronounces itself on the real character of the insurrection of Cracow—whilst the Mats is silent , confining itself simply to the record of events as they come to hand .

      The Reforms announces the formation of a Polish committee , composed as follows-. —Messrs . Arago , Baune , David ( d'Angers ) . Duporty , Eticimo Aram Flocon , Gninard , Ledru Rollin , Louis Blanc , Miehelet , Quinet , Recurt , Ac . Subscriptions in favour of the Poles had been opened at the offices of the National , Reforme , Courrier Fracais , Sicele , Democratic I ' aciftque , and Gazette des Ecoles . The correspondent of the London Daily News states that M . Gulzofc dispatched a courier on Sunday evening from Paris to Vienna , the bearer of instructions to the Comtc de Flahaut , tho French ambassador in that capital , the object of which instructions was to

      declare to Prince Mctternieh that the cabinet of the Tuillcries , wishing to remain foreign to the execution of the treaties of Vienna , would neither interfere directly or indirectly in the efforts of the northern courts to put down the Polish revolution . But that , on the other hand , France was too much interested in maintaining peace and tranquillity in Europe to oppose the measures which the northern courts might think necessary for re-establishing order in the republic of Cracow . He adds , that Count d'Appony , the Austrian ambassador in Paris , has assured M . Cuizot that the northern courts , in occupying the territory of the Cracovian republic , have no intention to destroy the independence which the Congress of Vienna guaranteed to that republic .

      Another Outbreak at Posks . —It appears by an article from Berlin , of the 5 th , that an unsuccessful attempt was made at Posen , on the night of the 3 rd , to deliver the political prisoners . Two of the leaders of the insurgents were killed , two wounded , and a number made prisoners . Rkported SurmsNiiKn of Cimcow . —The Prussian State Gasette of the 7 th , which has reached us since the foregoing was at press , announces as positive that Cracow was occupied on the 3 rd inst . by the Russian troops , without any resistance being offered on the part of the insurgents . On the 4 th tlie Austrians were to enter the town , and on the 5 th the Prussian forces were to cross the frontiers , under the command of General Schaff .

      German Sympathy . —The Hamburg Correspondent , one of the most popular journals of Germany , says upon the subject of the insurrection ;—" It is not merely the voice of justice and of humanity which protests in favour of Poland , it is the national interests of Germany , it is an interest of security for the whole of Europe . " "This , " adds the Siecie , " is now the universal opinion at the other side of the Rhine ; some day it will bear its fruit . But in order thata prompt and vigorous resolution should spare new proofs to humanity and new misfortunes to a nation which has alreadysuffered so much , there should be upon the throne of Prussia , a grandson worthy of his illustrious ancestor , I ' reNcrick the Great , and in Prance a government which had not lost at once the tradition of the grandeur of France and all recollection of the revolution of July . " Paws , Tuesday .

      Sympathy for the Poles is gaining ground . Last night an attempt was made at the Opera to get up a demonstration . The Radicals mustered rather strong in the pit , and between the first aud second acts of the iucie de Lammcrmoor cries were uttered of "Vive la Pologne ! " "La Cracovienne ! " "La Marseillaise ! " The orchestra having commenced the second act , matters went on quietly till the curtain dropped , when the cries were repeated amidst shouts of " A bas les tyrans ! " An immense number of police-agents occupied the different parts of the bouse , who forcibly suppressed the interruption of

      the performance by arresting several of the young men . To-day between seventy and eighty deputies assembled at the Chamber of Deputies , under the presidency of M . Dupont ( de l'Eure ) , and passed resolutions and entered into subscriptions in favour of the patriots . At nearly all the newspaper offices subscriptions are also received . The correspondent of the Times says : —' . ' I met , coming out of the bureau of the National to-day , among others , the veteran General ( Arthur ) O'Connor , who said he had just been to deposit his mite . "

      Tiie Poles Ik London. [From The Morning ...

      TIIE POLES IK LONDON . [ From the Morning Advertiser . ] Monday . —In consequence of exciting information , received through private channels , a numerous meeting of the Poles in { London was held at their Clubhouse , for the purpose of considering the best course to be taken by tlie Emigrants under the present circumstances of their country . The meeting was , of course , exclusively Polish , and the proceedings were private . However , we learn from the best authority , that the intelligence received was considered to be of a highly encouraging nature , and the exiles present were in the highest spirits , expressing universally the most lively hopes .

      Tuesday . —Several meetings of the Poles took place yesterday , of which little has transpired except that an unbroken unanimity prevails . The Poles in this country are naturally enough kept back from forming , or perhaps it might be said , from promulgating any decided intentions from the uncertainty of the information which tliey have yet been able to obtain . It is , however , regarded as " greatly in favour of their most sanguine hopes , that all the news which the west of Europe receives , through the most suspicious sources , is capable of an encouraging construction . They entertain no doubt —( and who can ?)— that the best is kept back and the worst made the most

      of . Ihe reported betrayal of the Polish nobles by their peasants into the hands of the Austrians , is looked upon as a mere fable . No reliance is placed upon the statements published in the German and French journals , nor even upon private communications received through the post-office . An opinion prevails that the ikreau fnmtisitatre , near Saint Paul ' s , might withhold cheering information until it would be useless to any but the enemy . Through less floubtf ' ul means , reports fully believed are received that General Szernbek has taken the command of the National Army in Gallicia , and that some of the most important persons arrested at Posen have made thoir escape—among them Miccalawski .

      Szernbek was not concerned in the first movement at Cracow , but at the first announcement of the outbreak he was conjectured by the German press to have some connection with it . There is now little doubt that in the most trying moment of tlie insurrection , he has nobly put himself at the head of the Gallicinn forces , perhaps at the sacrifice of his estates , the remnants of which , oven under Austrian rule , have yielded bun hitherto -10 , 000 dollars a year . Wednesday . —The exiles continue in a state of great anxiety , or , it should rather bo said , of eagerness , to learn the exact state of affairs in Poland , the official document from the Austrian officer at Tarnow , published in the London papers of yesterday ,

      tending greatly to confirm their conviction that all the adverse statements arc false or exaggerated , and that the revolution is advancing favourably . Tlie Austrians , it will have been observed , in boasting that the peasants murdered or betrayed the revolutionary nobles at Tarnow , admit that those same peasants arc partisans of tho revolution . The manner in which the continental journals , as quoted in the Times of yesterday , mention Chlopicki , is also believed to afford grounds of hope . They say that Chlopicki has taken the command of the Gallician troops , and that he commanded at the battle of Grochow . The latter statement is supposed to indicate that the agents of the powers dread to mention the name of the redoubted Skrzynccki , who was the

      commander on that ever-memorable . occasion . It could not be by accident or mistake that the wavering , although brave Chlopicki , is named as the general at Groehow . The fact is too well known to history , that he had , in a pet , resigned the Dictatorship some time before , and that he served under Skrzynvcki as a volunteer . It may be as well to state 'here what many may have forgotten for a time , but which history will never forget . When Diebitseh was approaching Warsaw , fully resolved to carry out the command of his master , and crush the revolution at a blow , Skrzynecki advanced from Warsaw to give him battle , and took up his position at Groehow , about seven miles from the city , making the little wood of alder trees a point

      d ' appid , winch ultimatel y proved of great importance . Ills forces , including the students and other raw recruits , amounted to 45 , 000 men aud 20 pieces of cannon . The force of Diebitsch amounted to iaO , 000 men , with 100 pieces of cannon . With such otlds against him , Skrzynecki held his ground from live o ' clock in the morning of the 25 ch of February , 1801 , until noon , when the wood having been nearly scattered in the air by the enemy ' s artillery , he sent to the volunteer , Chlopicki , for advice , saying that he could " hold the wood no lunger . " The answer he received is this day echoed in the aspirations of the Poles to the new revolution—Zjcrna zcmbanU'' Hold it with your teeth ! " He did so ; and clirefiv

      by tlie exertions of the new corps of students , and of the gallant 4 th of t he line , the Russians were driven back , and before sunset were in full retreat ! The hmperor , al ter the suppression of the revolution , ordered the alder trees of the glorious little wood to be uprnotcd ; as if , by this pallrv act of spite , he could eihice li ; om history tlio ulortutis battle in which the youths of a univcrsitv , with a few veterans , tore from the brow of Dicliitsch the laurels which he had gathered m the defiles of the Raleaii , and struck the soul ot the barbarian with / chagrin , which soon afterwards accompanied him to his grave . Well may Russia dread the name of Skrzynecki , whom may heaven speed on bis course when next lie turns his horse ' s head to the East !

      Tiie Poles Ik London. [From The Morning ...

      London , Fhiday Monm . vo . The daily journals of this morning state pos sitively the

      OCCUPATION OF CRACOW BY TIIE THREE POWERS . '' The town and territory of Cracow are in the hands of the three powers . Whilst negotiations were noing on between General Collin and the Prussian Commander , relative to the terms of capitulation , the Russian troops on the frontier advanced by the Olmutz road , straighten the city , and took possession without a blow being struck . " Some accounts represent that the entire of the young and active part of the population had abandoned the place and entered Gallicia . Only a few old men , besides women and children , remained . On the other hand , the Prussian Universal Gazelle asserts that 200 mounted insurgents , and 600 others , armed with seithea , had surrendered to tiie Prussians , when tliey entered the territory of Cracow . They were marched , after being disarmed , to Rosel . Even if this is true , many thousands of the insurgents must have made good their retreat , and will undoubtedly spread the insurrection through

      the country

      REPORTED INSURRECTIONS IN LITHUANIA . SAMOGMA , AND THE UKRAINE . The National of Wednesday says : — The accounts which we have to-day received from the same source to which we are indebted for the manifesto of the insurrection , form a strange contrast to the rumours repeated by some of the German papers . AVe understand , from private letters , that the principal object of the insurgents is to avoid a regular engagement with the allied troops of Russia , Prussia , and Austria . They are at present try ing to rally the numerous deserters who have come to p lace themselves under th « flag

      of independence . "The regiments of Mazwichclli and Bertolette , " say those letters , " no longer exist . Uoth officers and soldiers desert by companies , and go over to the insurgents . The march of the Prussians upon Cracow has been arrested by the troubles in Silesia , and by the spread of the insurrection iu Lithuania . Samogitia and Ukraine have commenced their movement . Everything appears to indicate that Russia will be attacked to the very core . A band of insurgents has made its appearance at Seieleo ( tiftetn leagues above Warsaw ) , and caused such consternation in the capital , that General Abramowiez has placed it in a state of sitge . The Reforme says : —

      The report of nn insurrection in Samogitia has been confirmed . This is an ovent of the most vital importance , iu consequence of that province having some ports upon the Baltic . With respect to the reports current of the occupation of the town of Craeow by thg allied troops , even should It be found to be the case , such event is but of minor importance , and can exercise no influence upon the revolution . The leaders of the insurrection never intended to defend Cracow against the combined forces of Russia , Prussia , and Austria , Letters which hare today reached Paris , announce that the whole of Gallicia was e cheval ( in a state of insurrection ); therefore , what sijjnifies it that a town should stteuumb when -an entire province rises at the same moment !

      REPORTED CAPTURE OF LEMBERG BY THE POLES—INSURRECTION IN RUSSIAN POLAND ! The Steele of Wednesday states , on the authority of a letter from Breslau , dated at ten o ' clock on the night of the 3 rd inst ., that Lemberg had fallen into the hands of the Polish insurgents , and that a formidable insurrection had arisen in the Polish provinces of Russia . The following is a copy of the address issued by the Polish Committee in Pari * : —

      The efforts of the Poles to recover their nationality , the claims which are so solemnly inscribed in treaties , claims which the legislative Chambers of Franco recall each year to the attention of Europe by unanimous votes ; the heroic courage of a people who brave death in the most sacred cause ; the sad thought that at the present moment new martyrs are sealing with blood their faith in the power of right ; these circumstances have caused a deep feeling in Trance , All parties , forgetting their divisions , have united in one burst of sympathy ; the undersigned , feeling that tbey are called upon to act , haveopeued a subscription .

      The subscription collected in the committee-room amounts to about 0 , 000 francs ; but at the office of the National upwards of 10 , 000 francs have been received , and the C ' onjtitutio ? ineZ has subscribed l . OOOf

      Lancashire Miners.—Tbenext General Deleg...

      Lancashire Miners . —Tbenext general delegate meeting of Lancashire miners will he held , on Monday , 23 rd of March , at the house of Mr . John Speakman , sign of the Millstone , Pickley-green , near Leigh ; chair to be taken at eleven o ' clock in the forenoon . There will also be a public meeting which will be addressed by "VV . P . Roberts , Esq ., and several of the agents of the Miner . ' . ' Association . The miners ot Bolton and its vicinity are still out , with little or no appearance of an amicable arrangement of the matters in dispute ; it has , however , been ascertained that there is a determination existing on the part of some ofthecoal proprietors to break up the Miners' Union . Will the various trades look tamely on while such nefarious villany is in contemplation ? Shall the miners battle

      alone and single-handed in thwarting the designs ot unprincipled employers ? If so , let the trades look to it , they will follow in the wake of the miners . Members of trades' unions , fly to the rescue ! Upwards of 1400 miners are now fighting your battle as well as their own . They do not despair , but they want you to sympathise with them , and render them all the assistance you can . Their demands from their late employers are not exorbitant—they only asked for 4 s . per day ; they did not strike ; they were driven from their employment , and to the men who have been brought to fill their places , 4 s . fid . per day with refreshments are given . Does not this fact speak volumes , and show clearly that trades' unions are dreaded by the unprincipled portion of employers in every trade ? Hence the attack upon the Miners' Union , by dis . discharging from their employ upwards of 1400 of its

      members , at a time , too , when there was a steady demand for coal , at an advance to the public of upwards of 3 s . per ton . The poor fellows and their familes are suft ' ering very severely ; niany of them have been driven out of their miserable homes , and for aught their oppressors cured , might have died in the fields or on tho roads . Trades ' societies , give the miners your assistance in this struggle , and there will be little fear but they will yet triumph . Signed , on behalf of the miners of Lancashire , Wm . Gbocott , County Secretary . —Manchester , March 11 , 1 S 4 G . — Monies may be sent to Wm . Groeott , No . 1 . Campliu ' sbuildings , . Mount-street , Anconts , Manchester ; or to Mr , Charles Meadoivcroft , Astlcy-street , Dukinfield , Cheshire Wm . Groeott most thankfully acknowledges the sum ol £ 10 from the miners of Ilolytowu , Scotland , per Wm Cloughan .

Fiumewokk-knittebs' Movement . —To the frame . work-knittars of Mis three counties . — Fellow-workmeii , —We , the workmen employed in the above branch , have been thrown out of employment to prevent a

      reduction in our wages of such magnitude as would have reduced us to a state of starvation almost unparalleled . This is the fourth week of our struggle , and , to enable us to obtain our rights , we call upon our fellow-workmen to render us their aseistanee . What would our fellowworkmen think were we tamely to submit to this impious proposal , a proposal that would take from us nearly one-third of our wages ? We have been forced , much against our will , into this situation , and being so , ne » re determined , with our fellow-workmen ' s assistance , to continue the strupgle until our employers consent to give the usual price for our labour . —Ou behalf of the trade , John Heard , secretary . —Committee Koom , King of the French , Woolpaek-Jane .

      . Ltoyal Polytechnic Institution. Dr. Ba...

      . ltOYAL POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTION . Dr . Baeliolfner has been lecturing on Astrouo my in the theatre of the above establishment . His remarks on the Capernican system , aided by effective diagrams , showed the incorrectness of the opinions of Ptolemy and Tyeho on this science . This elementary lecture , totally divested of the trammels of scientific technicalities , was well adapted to the capacity of all classes . His opinion that a man versed in astronomy , and professing to be an atheist , must be a madman , was evidently most satisfactory to the audience . These lectures will be continued during Lent . The learned Dr . was accompanied during his lecture by Dr . Wallis , musical director to this institution , on a perfectly new and extraordinary musical in . strument , called tho " M . cloiliaii , " invented by Mr . Grovis , a native of Dublin . The singular volume and power of so suiiill and portable an iustruuieutexeited the strongest

      surprise amongst all who heard it . It * dimensions arc only eighteen toy twenty-two inches and four or Jive inches deep , being no larger than a ladies' writing desk ;' and when unclasped it presents two chambers to view , ! One is opened by a spring out of view , the Other is freed by pressing on the chamber , On the top of the chamber are ivory studs , in the order of pianoforte keys , with the Hats aad sharps above , and it has the extent of four octaves , from P iu the bass to P iu alt in the treble . In the art of performing , the motion of the wrists , by pressing on the chamber , keeps up a continuous strain of wind on the vibrators , and in this point it differs from portable hand ittstruttumts , and by the discretion of the performer produces eiieets from the soft passages to the strong choral * effects of the organ . It is best adapted for church music , but , fiom its quickness of touch , rapid passages can likewise be performed .
