And what seed of foreign aid , when Poland , from the Od-r and the Carpathian mountains to tbe Borysihenes and tbe Pfdna—from tbe Baltic to the Black Sea , rises in her giant might to crush her invaders ? " There is do force in tbe world which could subjugate a nation cf twenty millions closely united by the bond of common freedom . "
Shall Poland perish ! we asfe again ! No 2 for knowle dge is mighty and will yot prevail . Thanks to tbe pen and the press , nations cannot now be annihilated , or tbe people of any portion of this euih be permanently subjugated by any despotism , no matter bow strong aHd bloody . Knowledge is xaore powerful than thrones ; and the pen and the press carry terror into the hearts of tbe . haughtiest tyrants . The miscreant Nicholas , who , without remorse , has trodden upon the palpitating heartB of millions crushed beneath his iron sway , trembles-at ihe sight of a book , * and shrinks wiih horror and

Casb op Thomas Prestos . —We haTe received a " memorial" or appeal to the Chartist public in behalf of the above-named individual . For the " memorial " we cannot find room , but we extract all the facts contained therein , which are as fellows . — That Thomas Preston aas now been for vpwardt vj ¦ fifty yean & "Radical Reformer , baring bees admitted a member of the famaus Corresponding Society , " in tbe month of March , 1792 .
That in consequence of his patriotic exertions in the eause cf freedom he has been not only exposed to the Tnaltgjwit persecution of ail opposed to democratic prindplei ; but has also bad hi * life placed in imminent danger by the hostility of the corrupt government who ruled this country in the earlier days , of " Reform . " Thai he has been twice arraigned on tbe charge ot ** High Treason" first in the year 1817 , in the Court of ' King ' B Bench , when after a trial of nine days , he vu acquitted . Second , in the year 2 820 , st the OH Bailey , when Ihe charge against him broke down for wast of evidence . That though he escaped from tbe scaffold , he did not escape the ruinous consequences in bis business and xaeans of living .
That Thomas Preston is now seventy-four years of age , in great poverty , and in danger of being driven from > iH home lot arrears of Teat . That he ba » do menu of maintaining himself and family but by working at his trade , fer which he is totally unfit , through increasing infirmities particularly an impairing of his sight ; and consequently , is in a situation demanding the active sympathies of all who ess feel for misfortune . That in these distressing drcamst&nces , Thomas Preston and his family appeal to a liberal public to aid them in their dinculties , and save them from the unhappy situation into which they will otherwise be plunged .
That the friends of Thomas Preston respectfully suggest tbe propriety of raising a sufficient sum , not only to meet present exegeneies , but als » to pnt Mrs . Preston in a * m % n -way ef business , which , as Mrs . P . is known to be a clever and well educated woman , with good business habits , would be nearjy sure to enable her to provide for the comforts of her husband daring ihe few years that probably remain fer him . 2 Hr .

The following is from the Jhtblin World of Saturday last , it needs not a word from us : — M KZEPIXG IHE GAXB AXITJS . This is the Repeal year ;—we say this not in jest , but having been told bo by good authority , we make unto millions tbe joyful proclamation . Aye , but in a few brief hours when 1843 is only a thing of memory , and the New Year has made its appearance , bringing in its train gifts and greetings , will we be able to congratulate the millions npon having at length obtained a College-Green Parliament ? Alas ! and well-a-day , we fear not ; for in the laet Motion we Sod this announcement : — " You are on tbe riijht road .
" Tbe . Repeal year is over—wbat then !—Call next year the Repeal Year if yon have a fancy for names ; and if that , too , searches your fetter sores with its December blast , work tbe next year , and tbe next , and tbe next . Cease not till all is done . If you sleep , now that yon bave climbed so far , yon may never wake again . " " Upon the right road V Ah , Mr . Peter Pnrcell , what a comical and incomprehensible fellow you are , wiib your Whiggery and Repeal enthusiasm , your heavy prose and rough and ready lyrics . ; But do you think people will always continue paying when you
willnot keep your word as to the time in which the journey isto be performed ! Tbe half starved ereatures God help them J are shivering like ill-clad passengers npon the outside of a stage , looking out for Xepeal , and you , cruel man , give them no hope . Your songs are excellent bloodthirsty productions j but " paying the piper" continually , where there is no dancing , is a heartless task you must allow . Well , we suppose there is nothing for it but living in hope and coming down with the dust . What a spice of irony mingled with truth is contained in this short paragraph : —
" An ignorant or unorganized People would soon have tired of the constant subscriptions and meetings , and have broken into disorder or sunk into apathy . " He is a long-sighted and sober-minded man that lays out money on a complex yet safe speculation , or lays it by for an evil day . That iB a people having political wisdom , which denied itself from present indulgence for a future good . It had been pleasanter for some at least of the people , to have spent in eating or clothing the shilling they sent to tbe Repeal Association , just as six years sgo they found it pleasanter togspend the shilling or the penny , or the pound , on-the whiskey shop . But the same * elf-deDyirjg and far-seeing resolve which enabled them to resign drink or food , and books , and clothing , induced them to postpone some of these solid comforts to attend meetings , and to give money , in order to win , at some future time , fixed holdings , trade , strength , and liberty . "
Mark that banter , ye well-fed and salaried patriots of Bargh Quay 1—ye , who now have your pockets so full that yon are lavishing tbe superfluous cash " wrung from tbe hard hands of peasants , " in gilding the ceiling of Conciliation Hall , and adorning its walls with prize paintings . We hasten 10 give the concluding portion of the Purcell admonition : — "The People , if they wonld achieve their aim , must continue their exertions . ** To win by peace they msst nse all the resources of peace , as they have done hitherto . " is ' . here any parish wherein ibere are no Repeal Wardens active every -week in collecting money , distributing cards , tracts and newspapers 1 Let that pariah meet to-morrow week , appoint active Wardens , send np its subscriptions , and get down its cards , papers , and tracts , week after week till the year goes round , or till Repeal is carried . "
Send np money and le * k the Nation be distributed And this ihen is the end and object of the popular agitation—a fine game for certain crafty newsvenders , bnt perilous and co ? tly to millions of confiding dupes . "

UNITED STATES . THE PHESIDENl ' S MESSAGE . The American packet-ship Independence has brought the Message of the President to the House of Representative * . The three subjects most interesting to this country which are noticed in it are , the recent commercial treaty , the Oregon territory , and the indemnity for the detention of American vessels . The first , it is declared , "has tended greatly to " increase the good understanding which a reciprocity of interest ia calculated to enoouraee . "
Of tho second , it is said that propositions for its final adjustment made by the United States have been rejected by the British Government ; and that " while nothing will be done to compromise the rights or honour of the United States , every proper expedient will be resorted to bring the negotiation to a speedy and happy conclusion . " At the same time , it is suggested that military posts be established to protect those American citizens who have Betted in the disputed territory . With respect to the third , the President informs the House , that in several cases of American vessels detained as slavers by British cruisers off tbe coast of Africa reparation has been promised ; in a few , that full satisfaction had been allowed .
The above very brief abstract is all we can find room for this week ; the message itself fills four columns of the Times .

THE MURDER AT KNOWSLEY . NORTHERN CJRCUii—LIVERPOOL ., DEC . 26 TH . , ( Before Mr ., Justice Wightman . ) John Roberts , James Ifuht , Thomas Jaques , Joseph Rtmmers , sad Henry Ftiiiinffham , were indicted for the wilful murder of Richard Kenyon , at Knowsley , by shooting him with a gun ; Mr . Brandt and Mr . Townsend conducted the prosecution ; the prisoner was defended by Mr . James . An accomplice named Naknian Shaw , was the chief evidence against the unfortunate men .
The base for the prosecution having closed , Mr James addressed the jury for the defeace , contending that there was nothing in the evidence adduced which could properly be looked on as a corroboration of the testimony of the accomplice , who bad the very strongest motives which could operate on such a mind ( the desire to Bave his father and to obtain the reward ) to induce him to throw the blame on other than the real culprit . His LordBhip having summed up with great care , the Jnry retired for about an hour , and returned into Court with a verdict of guilty against all the prisoners , strongly recommending them to mercy .
His LoJdship then passed sentence of death in a brief and impressive address , which was repeatedly interrupted by the lamentations of the numerous relatives of the prisoner , who were iu Court .

BOBISEt , Hampshire— : Mr . Aaron Newman , a native of this town , died in the early part of tho present month . It has been the custom of the place to sing a religions anthem in the Church the Sunday after the funeral , and it was the last dying request of Mr . Newman that this custom should not be departed from in his case ; he himself was a singer in the Parish Church for eleven years , and a man respected by all classes in the town . The deceased ' s wish being known , the choir met and resolved to comply with it ; accordingly a deputation waited
upon the Vicar to request his sanction , when , lo ! and behold ! he refused ; alleging as his reason for that refusal , that it would give rise to drunkenness , as they would adjourn from the church to the publichouse .

the course pumied in agitating for the Repeal , he declared the object of the League was not to increase trade , but to make provisions cheaper .

. . It is there stated that I proposo to discharge the three detective officers , Child , Hartley , and Stubb 3 J but I have never proposed anything of 'the kind * for I bave always considered both Hartley and Stubbs to be efficient officers . Neither have I proposed to discharge Inspectors HainBWorth and Hepworth , a 3 is there stated . In short , the whole paragraph is a tissue of false statements and inuendoes , calculated to pivjuaice tbe publio agaiasfc my proposition .
The proposed reduction may have one fault ; it may not go far enough : that it' is Moderate no one can deny , and it cannot meet with opposition from any class besides old women aad timid nervous gen tlemen wita women ' s fears .

LEEDS . —Mesmerism . —From another column it will be seen that Mr . S . T . Hall intends to deliver
three lectures on Mesmerism in tbe fllusic tiail , in this town : Mr . Hall being known as one of the most successful of mesmerisers , the publio of Leeds may expect arich treat . To the students of mesmerism we say go , hear and see , for his experiments aro really astonishing ; and to the sceptical we say the same ; test the experiments by all means possible . If found to he an imposition , expose it ; if found to be true , there are yet things in store for the mind of man to discover that" we have not yet dreamt of in OHr philosophy . "
" Masmficent Works of Art—Dcbufe s Adam and Eve . —These universally and justly celebrated paintings eepf-essnting " The Temptation' * and "Tho Expulsion , " are at present exhibiting in Leeds in the large room of the Commercial BuildingB . It is not for us to venture upon an opinion as to the merits of these wonderful productions of heaven bom genius , seeing that years ago the highest masters of the art expressed their nuanimous approbation and unqualified admiration of " them . To
this we may add the fact—a fact speaking volumes for tho " public opinion , " that nearly a million persons have visited them since their public exhibition ; exclusive of the hundreds which have already visited them in Leeds . We earnestly advise oar holiday friends not to lose the opportunity afforded them of visiting these magnificent paintings . Not one of the least of the entertainments of the season will bo a visit to Dabufe ' s Adam and Eve . We bad prepared a lengthened notioe whioh we are prevented giving this week by press of matter .

to the pit ' s mouth , and fell headlong down . When they feuad him he was quite dead . Apparently every bone in his skin was broken , his head was dreadfully fractured , and he was in such a terrible state that it was with difficulty that they coald get off hie clothes . The deceased and his companion , who were out of employment , had been to the Vagr&nt-office for relief , and was told that such respectable-looking men as them were never relieved ; they were vtithoat anything to eat , and no money to pay for a bed .
