The oentralist sys - tem in that country ht 'non' been overthrown by Polish statesmen, and one- •of them, Count Potocki,has been ap pointed by the Emperor to . inaugurate a new policy as Premier. Poland is again alled - upon, as she ivas two centuries ago un der glorious Icing Sobieski, to sustain and de- , tend the Ausitro-.11 ungarian monarchy. That. State which was formerly a bugbear to all Liberals, has now become tbe home of liberty; and its integrity and independence are looked 'men. as indispensable tor the freedom of - - Europe‘mad the' intereSts=o.--eiviliZatietE—rt is to secure this integrity and independence that the Poles, who have formed in Austria their last refuge, are now laboring. Their policy is no longer a policy of sentiment., they have ceased 'to rely on distant and barren Sym pathies, they found their hones only on an intimate mission with their natural ally, who has the same - interests - and the: same enemies as themselves. Convinced that their future is indissolubly bound up with the destinies of the Hapsburg monarchy, they have undertaken to introduce in Austria a policy which shall reconcile the unity and strength. of the empire with a reasonable autonomy for those_..provinces which bear a distinct. national character - and historical tights. They must -reject-a purely SlavOrilc policy, for the word Slavonian has- Of late years almost become synonymous with R 1.14- -ian, and the result of such a policy an only be to enlarge Russia at the expense oT Austria, and place the Czar in possession of Constan tinople. The Poles would rather join the. Ge rmans in Austria .than help the Slavonians to -become predominant in the --empire.- -- A federalist policy would be equally dangerous, for it would divide Austria into seven teen -little States, each with its own separate legislature. The prince concluded by stating ills - political -, programme. --- It - is - as - followe:= Prig—The preservation, as the most important object .the Pales have in view, of the.unity and integrity of Hungary Se. , ol , ll—the main tenance of a central Parliament of Vienna; third—the acceptance of the present constitu _iion.. as. the . fundamental law of the Austro --Rting-arian—monarchy-,--Orreth=the grant 'Or exceptional privileges to Galicia and Bohemia as-regards public.instruction„justice, and local administration, by means of a special agree ment similar tathat which has-been coneluded between Hungary and Croatia; jifth—the es tablishment of a restricted .Reiehstrath for all the provinces except Galicia and Bohemia, and of a plenary Beielestratb,.to ineintle.those provinces. . . nty2l. s to stitrp* Cardinal Antonelli Lathe Emperors. The Paris Illairers publishes the reply of Car dinal Antonelli - . to the :memorandum pre -anted to the Court of Rome by Count Daru on the subject of the Council. TIM atAYtter, whith is of great lengtb,..ex- tending over two columns and a half of that lournai, aims at establishing the fadt that civil governments have nothing to - do with the deli berations of that body. If the Pope asks the bishops to proclaim him infallible and supe rior to all temporal powers, those attributes have always existed, and are, moreover, purely doctrinal and speculative. They do not constitute an encroachment ofhieh any one 1 has a right to`complain.

Advices froni Vienna mention another letter from the Cardinal to the Emperor Francis Joseph's, government, and likewise referring to the - Council. It seems to be sharper in tone than that to the Cabinet of the Tuileries. Among our telegraphic news will be found an announcement of the death of Mr. Mark Lemon, the editor of Plineh. He appears to have died, as so many "literary men" die in these days, after a very short illnass. His health, however, cannot be said to have been robust for some tiine past. He was an ex tremely corpulent man—so corpulent that he lately played the part of " Falstaff" without using "padding or stage devices.of any kind. He made his own obesity-a constant subject ,'f jest, in common with what he was pleased ro describe as his . other chief peculiarity—an ticurable impecuniosity. Some half-funny, halt-sad verses of his appeared in one of the Christmas annuals last year; on the subject of his fat figure and his lean ptirse. It is but the other day • that Mr. Mark Lemon's chief associate, Shirley Brooks, was trembling betweetr life and death. He has recovered, while his editor and friend, who was so anxious on his behalf, has suddenly been called upon to'make the " long journey.' The two men wore the oldest surviving con tributors to Ptfe/f. It is no disrespect to the memory of Mr. Lemon to say that Mr. Brooks was by far the abler of the two. Perhaps a "cleVereenuinthas never been connected with journalism •in England,' but somehow Ills talents have never made 'the mark they ought to have done. Since Thackeray, ceased to write for Punch, the best verses and sketches in it have been from the pen of Shirley Brooks. But Mr. Mark Lemon deserves the credit of being an efficient edi tor—he knew a good thing when' he Aaw it, no matter where it came from, and 'that is a finality which every editor cannot boast of. He was the first to detect the possibility ofMr. Bitrnand being useful topiis journal, and since then Mr.Burnaml has been the " wheel-horse" . of the .can cern. "When Pouch was first Started in 1841, Mr. Henry Mayhew and Mr: Mark Lemon edited it together, but the former soon withdrew,aud Mr. Lemon has since exercised the'chief con trol. There has, however, always been a weekly meeting of the contributors at the' Punch office, and on these occasions the con tents of the next number were generally fixed. Mr. Lemon himself wrote largelv, and nearly always in a vein of - -gisnuina liumor—some times wit. .vein has centributed his fall pro portion to the amusement of the age,Wor he is the author of about sixty plays and farces, and we do not know how manynoveV,; and stories.

Mark Lemon PISCILELTURE IN PENNSYLVANIA. A Pennsylvania Trout Pond. At Williana-port, Pa.,lhere aro trout ponds owned by Mr. Peter Berdic which are thus dercribeil in the correspondence 'Attie Balti more „el nieriewa The ponds are situated at the base of a high bill; fu in ti Inch flows an ablindant Supply of iicar spring water. They are Oblong, and about ten feet wide by fifty in length, their sides walled up with stone and cement. In one pond a large stook of trout from two to three years old is kept, many of which are eighteen inches in length.- These are kept for breeding, and are quite tame, feeding readily . from, the hand -of the ' keeper. In another pond trout ten bathes in length are kept, while in another little fish scarcely-. :longer than - a .pi May be - seen slowly moti ng around. They are all fed twice a day op liver chopped very fine, with an occasional meal of elauberAs - the - troutureinthe — habit of-eat ing both the spawn and the young fish, much -care is requisite in raising a stock successfully, and the smaller fish are thus kept separate. -The practice of 'stripping' the spawn from the old fish is not resorted to here, as imma ture spawn is often secured, and the fish in jured by rough handling. A • tank adjoin ing the breeding trout is kept for fall, when .they commence, WOoden frames. with tine wire' work (eight or ten wires to the inch) are sunk, in sections, to the bottom of the tank. Other frames with coarser. wire -work, covered with pebbles sufficiently large so as not to pass between the wires, are then, laid on top of those first immerscd;which giyes to the bottom of the tank the appear ance of a smooth, pebbly bottom. The place is then made partially dark, and for three weeks the fish deposit their spawn. After brushing the pebbles away with their-tails, the upper _wire-work is reached. On this they spawn, replacing the pebbles in the same man ner. The spawn, however,ha.s run through the coarse wire-work, ' -- and' rests , securely on the finer sieve 'below.. 'below. At the end of the sea son the sections are all taken up and the spawn laid in shallow boxes containing pebbles. These are placed in a, long trough, through which a current of waer is made to run, not, however, strong enough to displace the spaw n. This continues until the young fish make their appearance, when they are carried down by the water into the pond set apart for their- ju venile aays. Last summer 62 per pound was offered for'the large trout contained in these ponds, and refused. The determination of the owner is to raise a e-p supply sufficiently old to take_thlace-of---the--=breeders ---before mencing to dispose of them. This he expectS to be able to do by next summer."

[From the London Neve;llny 10.1 The news of the safe passage of the Jumna troop-ship-from Suez to- ort Said is one of the best testimonials yet paid to the Suez Canal, and will give pleasure to thou.saiids of bravefel lows in India to whom, if invalided, a-voyage om e round_the Cape has been a thing to dread. When the Great Eastern . ,was lyihg in Bom bay Harbor in February last the Jumna was -there too, and the - native boatmen made it - a, point of honor to tow the strangers they had contracted to take to " the big ship" alongside the latter. The Jumna was anchored a few hundred yards from the pier, the Great Eastern at - twQ MileS difitati% ^ ttl there ;ins been, for obvious reasons, a wild l misunder standing, when " the big ship" was mentioned anti the bataai n struck. _ ut _H. at.. s. Jumna, - "the big ship" by the side of the .500 fine vessels waiting for freights at BOnibarcwith-^ the solitary exception of the *Great t iistern, and on her passage through the canal she must have resembled a floating castle by reason of her immense height, her countless portholes and her tiers of decks. We assume her to have been lightened for the sake of convenience, and that the hundreds of soldiers she houses upon occasion were absent for the time. But the logical sequence to a troop-ship_ going throughthe - canntity is that it should go through it full, and thus open out a great field of usefulness.

Lrrom the :;:an Francisco Alta, May Hd Many of the readers of the Alta will remem her the adventures of a man named St. Clair, in this State, about a year since, who ran oil with livery horses, and after driving nearly to death, sold them for a trifling considera tion ; and was implicated in innumerable cases of rascality. He was a man of, fair education, well posted in regard to weak places in hu man nature of pleasing %nd dignified address, and was evidently cut out for a first-class ras cal. In all of his adventures in this State he outwitted the officers and always managed to keep from their clutches. Finally his villany became so widely known that he concluded to seek new fields in which to exercise his talents. He left this city in October last, on the steamship for Acapulco, as a steerage passen ger, under the name of Cook ; and that, too: when officers were on the dock and vessel watching for him. On getting well out to sea, he marched to the purser's office: and paid for a cabin passage, aril informed the officers of the vessel that his name was Col. St. Clair, of the United States Army, a secret service offi cer. His agreeable and affable manners, to gether with the exchanging of his clothing for the dress anditisignia of a full-fiedged Colonel, were considered proof positive, and everyat tention was given to the distinguished per sonage. At Acapulco, Colonel St. Clair had the mortification of finding himself. in a strange land without the wherewith to settle numerous, little bills, whiCh came pouring in tipon,...hini. He extricated himself from the embarrassment by remembering..that he was one of ten secret service officers sent out by the United States Government to assist Secretary Seward and party in their travels, and to make negotiations and soundings for the acquisition of- all Mexico. A number of Franciscans at that, place, together with the natives in 'general, were thoroughly barn-, hoozled, and aided Col. St. Clair to pursue his journey to the City of Mexico, taking as com pensation ' his' orders for _ C 11.411 on the Paymaster 'said to be with the Seward , party.
