ANX 1 TEBSABY OP THB POLISH REVOLUTION . Wednesday , the 29 ih Tilt , bong the thirteenth anni-Yers&rvof the Polish Revolution , the Polish Refugees , resident in London , attended divine service in the Bslgi&n Coapelj London Road , at ten , a . k ., when the officiating clergyman , their fellow-exile , the Rsv . Biziiinski , delivered a touching discourse , the text of ¦ which he had taken from Si . John , xvi . 52 . At six J >_ M-, most of them attended a meeting at Sossex XJhamberBjDtiXe-Httfeet , St . Janes * * , when Captain JaBLOKSXI , having i > &fen nn&almcmsly called to take the chair , addressed Ma countrymen at some length , with much energy and feeling . He observed that the Polish nation , in spite of the sacrifices it bad made to regain its independence , was still groaning
under the yoke of its oppressors . Providence did not yet allow the Poles to enjoy the fruits of their labour in the cause of their country , bat doomed them to suffer the pangs of their adversity , that they might be the better able to appreciate their loss , and be wiser in their days of happiness . Sooner or later the hour of retribution would arrive when Poland would regain her liberty , and the perpetrators of those iniquities and crimes which have reduced her to her present state of wretchedness , would be humbled to the dust A nation' of twenty millions like Poland , in which the sentiments of nationality are ileeply rooted in the bosoms of ttie people , though par throned and oppressed t > y it * Beveral fieipoiltTg . nay be BfleEced and reduced to slavery for a time , but cannot
be subdued for ever . Union constitutes the physical force , and self-confidence the moral force of a nation ; possessing both these powers , any oppressed people is able to cast off its fetters . The events of last war afforded the Pole * a useful , although painful lesson , that they should sever depend on foreign assistance . Union and confidence in their own force should be the principles from -wilco they should never depart in their fntnre straggles with their foe .. Captain Jablonski having made an albuaon to the indomitable perseverance of the brave Circassians , sad denounced tbe system of intrigues and violence pursued by Russia in the affairs of Servia and Greece , said he would not afflict his countrymen by enumerating the sew deeds of persecution which the Cnr daily adds to that list with which they were already but too well acquainted ; he eould sot xesiat , however , mentioning & borriWe . ukase , tj Which all the Catholics in the provinces of Tolbyoia ,
P&dolia , and Ukraine , were ordered to embrace the Rosso-Greek religion , in the course of two years , on pain of exile and the confiscation of their property . - In eonclusicn , Captain Jablonski urged upon his countrymen sever to despond of their cause , but to keep the firm belief that the day of restoration of their country was not far distant ; touting in the justice of the Almighty and righteousness of their cause , they mnst continue in the meantime to bear all the adversities of exile with resignation . " Though ¦ we hsve lost , irith oat country , all that constitutes man ' s happiness in this , world , " said he , " though we are now wanderers in foreign lands , exposed to many sufferings , and often pursued by unmerited reproaches and bitter calumnies i for which we have to thank the sleepless malignity of our enemy and his hirelings ) , we ttffi possess the best consolation , which a condition like ours will admit of , in the sympathy of a free nation , and the favour and support of its most illuatrions citizens . "—i Great applause ) .
Mr . SuBKoifsxi rose to propose the first resolution , to the / olio-wing effect : — " That the Poles consider the Revolution of the 29 th of November , 183 di as still continuing , although the struggle on the battle-field has teen interruptedj that they have left their native land to protest , as they never ceased to do , against the gross injustice with which the political annihilation of their country has been accomplished ; and that they solemnly declare that , trusting in Divine Providence and the justice of their cause , they wUl bear the hard * ships of their state with resignation , and be . always ready to sacrifice their lives in the defence of the independent existence of Poland in her ancient boundaries , and la the assertion at her evil aad political Ebofifis . " Ml . X 5 CZY 15 SX 1 seconded the resolution , which Was carried unanimously .
Mr . Jjckowski moved the second resolution : — * ' That the thanks of the Polish refugees are due to the British nation for the hospitality they have » et with in this country , and for the protection they have found in its laws . In particular their tftft nfr » are due to the Corporation of . the City of London , the Literary Association of the friends of Poland , the Bight Hon " . Lord 3 > Pfliey Coutts Stsart , and the other public bodies and private individuals who have evinced their sympathy with the misfortunes of Poland , and who have generously endeavoured to alleviate the hard position of the lefngees . " Mr . P . P . Zaleski seconded the resolution , which was carried ¦ unanimously .
Mr . Szt : lc 2 . e"wski rose and moved the third resolution , Which was— " That ibe thank * of the Poles are dne to the editors of metropolitan and provincial journals for the noble manner in which they have advocated the cause of Poland , and raised their powerful voices against the anceaaftig persecution of which thit country Is the -victim . " Tiis resolution was seconded by Mr . Jastbzembski , and carried qT > fymninn » T y by the meeting . Two Polish poets , Mr . Daicwicki and Mr .

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT . —TRIAL JOB MURDER . fS&itre Zord Desman ami Jfr . Baron Paris . J Bdwara 3 > wyer , aged 25 , hawker , was charged with the wilful mar&sr of hSa chM , in infant , named James Dwyer , on the 24 th of October last , by felonious ^ , and "with malice aforethought , striking its head , by which he caused a mortal wound , and killed his said child . The prisoner was charged , oo a second count , with the murder of a £ hild , same unknown . Mr . Payne shortly stated the ease for the prosecution and gare a narrative of the trsnsactUn , the details of wMch have already appeared in this paper . According to the evidence of the witness * on ike toal , the mother of the murdered ehBd had exhibited even greater brutality than the wretched father . Judging from the evidence , warahould doubt if tke-miserable vn « i really knew what ^ was doing , when he comsuited the feaxfnl act . - = ' v ;
Mr . Wilkins addressed the Jury on behalf ' of the prisoner . Be dwelt on the conduct of the mother , and suggested the possibility * hat the mother , who exhibited so little ftffe « tion to the chfld , might have Injured it before « J )» ljrc « gfat It to the public-house . -If that was not ii"j | j ? biiTi 1 i unfiirmfrHrTT , could tBe Jury believe fo ^ t the -prisoner , -wno was shows , by the evidence , to lave exhibited such affection aad tenderness towards file child , could all at onee forget it , and designedly bave murdered bis own of&pring ? It was most improbable that this was the ease , and if ths prisoner was ths cause of death , it was likely that it was accidental . The Learned Gentleman then laboured to throw doubt en the prisoner ' s sanity , and bis responsibiiUy for his acts . It was evident that his language was most incoherent , and bis ¦*>***«* was that of a person who was not in his senses .
Ths prisoner , who appeared a quiet andharmlees looking person , abed tears almost during the whole time that ins Counsel was addressing the Jury . Xiord 3 > eamaa then sammed up tie evidence . The Jury / after a abort deliberation , found the prisoner guilty of murder , being under strong excitation at the time . Lord Batman then proceeded to pass sentence of death on the prisoner , and said that the recommendation to mercy given by the Jnry would be attended to and forwarded to tbe-Crown , where it would probably be favourably considered . The prisoner was then led away from the dock .
THE LATE FATAL DUEL . At ten o ' clock on Saturday , the Lord Chief Justice , and Mr . Justice Coltman entered the Court , Lord Denman being accompanied by and conversing with the celebrated French advocate , 21 . Berryer . As soon as their Lordships were seated , The Attemey-Geneml rose aad addressed the bench ina -rsrylow toaeof voice . He was understood to say that he , with his Learned Friend ( Mr .

ADDRESS OF THE "SCOTTISH ANTI-PERSECITTION UNION . " The severe sentences passed upon Messrs . Patenpn and Robinson , of Edinburgh , for the publication of works advocating unpopular opinions on religious topics , ( and therefore accounted blasphemous ) , must convince every reasonable individual that we do not possess , in Great Britain , that liberty of which , -we bo often boast Inquiry is obBCiked , ib . 6 press is fettered , and trammels are placed upon the human mind . To aid strenuously in the removal of these iniquiteaa restrictions , is therefore the duty of every man and woman who professes to be a lover of the truth , and a friend to mental emancipation . . "
It seems strange , that in a country calling itself Pretestant , there should be any necessity for bringing forward reasons against persecution for opinion ' s sake ; but the late proceedings in the High Court of Justiciary , show that such necessity really exists . Subjoined are a few of the considerations pointing out the injustice and absurdity of the prosecutions referred to : — L Blasphemy , if a crime at all , is undisooverable by any fallible human tribunal . It is a thing of chronology and geography . Jesus Christ was a blasphemer , according fo Vie Jetcs , —Dr . Kalley , the Presbyterian Protestant , ia now imprisoned ia Madeira foi being a blasphemer— accord ing to ( fl 6 Roman CaOldliC OUlhorilUs tttfre—and Messrs . Paterson and Robinson are now incarcerated in EdinbErgh , for being blasphemers , according to the authorities here ; In short , every man xcho denies all religious but hit own , is an infidel and blasphemer to every religion except the one which he professes .
2 . If one sect or body of men have a right to persecute , all have the same right . Hence , were the principle and practice carried * nt , society would be involved in continual confusion , cruelties , and atrocities , 3 . Society ia further injured , by the repression of mental activity : corruption being the certain effect of stagnation . 4 . Such prosecutions are detrimental to morality , in as much as they tend to produce deceit and hypocrisy . When men are punished for speaking their sincere convictions , do not the punishers practically direct them to be hypocrites and liars < 6 . If Religion be divine tratb , it must be triumphant over Infidels withont the aid of physical lorce . Indeed Christians often boast , that the most unanswerable defences of Christianity have , been instigated by the writings of sceptics . Truth asks no assistance from dungeon bars , or policemen ' s batons .
6 . Infidelity , or any false doctrines , or unjust vituperations of truth , can be refuted by argument and exposure only . 7—It is glaringly inconsistent in Protestants to punish men for being , like themselves , protesters against whattthey conceive to be error . By so doing they practically countenance the popish presumption of assumed infallibility . 8—History shews that persecution has rarely been successful in producing the end contemplated . In these days , when , thanks to the progress of liberalism , extirpation by fire and sword cannot be resorted to , the interference of Courts of Law with the expression of opinion can sever suppress them . fl . Cariosity , zeal , and aympatbT , are excited , and the demand for the prosecuted work is increased .
10 . Belief , or disbelief , being dependent on evidence , and not on the will , the bolts , bars , and walls of a prison cell , are not the agents calculated to effect convenrioa . : 11 . The supporters of oppression and [ error are foes of a free press , because it is a foe to them . A free press is the palladium of liberty , —a promoter of Tirtue , —a mighty contributor to enlightenment , and the means of eliciting truth . Injustice is seldom without an excuse , however flimsy ; and therefore many persons defend prosecutions , heeanse , in tieir opinion the parties prosecuted used Strong language , baish expressions , and ridicule ; and because mere abuse of Christianity can only be answered by punishment , not by argument To this we reply by asking , what right one man has to dictate to another the style he shall use ? Is it fair for one side
in a controversy to be the sole arbiters of what is argument in a debate , and then proceed to inflict pains and penalties fer what , upon their dictum alone , is deemed villificaOon ? Strong language is often necessary to express the truth . Jesus Christ spoke of some men as being " serpenta , " and " generations of vipers , " with other expressions of a like description . Luther , Calvin , Ksox , and other great Reformers , have not thought it proper to oppose fatal errors in the polite terms of ttrawing-room phraseology , but they have spoken from the heart in withering denunciation of the corruptions they have eombatted . If any doctrines are false , we ought : to call ihem false ; if they are ridiculous , we ought to ridiade them ; and if coztemplible , ire should hold them np to cemiempL Strong intpresBioiu five rise to strong expressions ; and it is a violation of fair discussion to prevent any man from using the terms adequate to the imparting of his ideas .
It is untrue te assert that unfounded abuse and unfair ridicule cannot be answered . Fallacious arguments can be refuted , and unjust vilification may be exposed . If an individual erroneously endeavours to bring religion into contempt , let his charges be proven false ; but if he be persecuted for his opinion upon the subject , we are led to suspect his charges to be true . Away , then , with tbia paltry jugtenoe thf a vopblatteal attempt to countenance bigotry and intolerance . It is easy to perceive that opinions must be palpably true or palpably false , or their character in this respect must be doublfvi . If evidently true , they ought not to be prosecuted ; if palpably fals& , they can do no mischief , and prosecution is useless ; if dvublfvi , no . authority has a ri ^ ht to decide by force , and suppress them by violence . Persecution has no plea left ; it Stands before us in its naked deformity .
The formation of a Scottish Anti-Persecution Union is the first fruit of the Scotch prosecutions . That "Onion is made op of individual professors of almost every kiiid of opinion—political and religious . It is formed for the sole purpose of setting free the tongue and the press ; therefore all who are persecuted for expressing , or otherwi » publishing theu opinions , will have a legitimate claim to its support Tbe Scottish Anti-Prosecution "Dnlon wQl neither be ft party engine , nor straggle for party or sectarian purposes . It will neither know nor care anything about opinions peculiar to individuals . If they are persecuted , the Union will recognise and aid them , simply because they ere persecuted .
Let all professing liberality and enlightenment , unite then to forward these important objects . Auist with your purse or your personal exertions—do your duty provide the means of agitation , and , ere long , the land Will be purged of persecution , and in truth snail we be enabled to say " We are tree .
