From The Baltimore Bxclian*, The statesmen and potentates of Europe who sometimes parcel out a people among different rulers as the exigencies of the hour may suggest, have just been furnished with further evidence of the fact that nations cannot be made and unmade by merely changing their geographical boundaries. The ties which a common race and language establish among men, cannot be arbitrarily dissolved; and though natural and artificial barriers be interposed for years be tween people of the same nation, the sentiment of nationality will survive the lapse of time and overleap all obstructions. if argument were needed - to prove this, either Italy or Hungary would furnish a case in point, for both after a long period of subjugation, are at this moment demanding that their respective nationalities shall be recognized and respected by the strangers 'who have for generations exercised dominion over them. Austria has striven in vain to obliterate the political land marks which serve to distinguish the prbvinces South of the Alps and East of the Danube, from the hereditary estates of the House of Hapsburg, but' the Italians and Hungarians, though unable to resist the armies of their German masters, have steadily and successfully defied the efforts which have been so persist ently made to mould their institutions into a closer conformity with those of,,the Empire.— But the late - outbreak in Poland shows still more conclusively how difficult a thing it is to destroy the vitality of a nation. The inhabitants of that unhappy country, though they lived for centuries under the worst. conceivable government of their own, have never abandoned the idea of its re-establish ment; and though they have been for seventy years incorporated with the neighboring na tions, they have never forgotten for an instant that they had a land and a name of their own. Though since the first partition of their her itage the odds have been hopelessly against them; the Poles have continued, at intervals, the desperate struggle for independence. Ten years after the third and final partition of Po land, in 1793, when the country was apparently erased forever from the map of Europe, the Poles flocked to the standard of Bonaparte, not so much from a desire to battle against their ancient enemies as to assist in the re-organiza tion of their old republic. Cruelly disappointed, and utterly crushed as they were, it might have been conjectured they would have then submit ted to what appeared to be the inevitable de crees of fate. The unity of the nation had been so long destroyed, and the strength of the people had been 'so far broken, that it was supposed the name of Poland would soon cease to be known except in history. When, more over, by the treaties of 1815, the larger portion of the country was incorporated' with Russia, and when the Czar gave, arid the Congress of Vienna guaranteed it a charter, that was so liberal as to challenge the approval of the most enlightened statesmen, every one was satisfied that all resistance on the part of Poland was over forever. By that charter all sects were placed, as to civil righte, upon a footing of per fect equality ; the liberty of the press was re cognized; the subject was exempted from ar rest prior to judicial conviction; all public business was to be transacted in the Polish language; all offices, civil or military, were to be held by natives alone; the national repre ssntation was vested in two chambers, com posed of senators and deputies; the judges were to be nominated in part by the Czar, and the rest were to be elected by the palatinates, - the former being irremovable; and the class of electors was made to include all landholders, all manufacturers or shop-keepers possessing a capital of ten thousand flo: ins, all rectors and vicars, all professors and teachers, and all artists or mechanics distinguished for talent. Such were some of the provisions of this fa mous, charter and it was thought that so liberal a system,.espeeially when backed by the over whelmiug power of Russia, would suffice to quiet thenceforth the discontented Poles. For some years after this there was peace. A friendly historian 'writing of the period imme diately succeeding the inauguration of this charter, speaks in enthusiastic terms of the prosperous and improving condition of 'the country. But the old national feeling was too strong to be repressed, and the inveterate hatreds of centuries were rankling in the breasts of the people. We need not show how the desire for independence grew stronger throughout the land, and how the hostility of the people towards their conquerors became fiercer as time rolled on, until the smouldering fire burst forth. The struggle took place as we all know, in 1830, and was short and bloody.— The Russian legions swarmed across the fron tier, and the Czar was soon able to announce that " order reigned in Wasaw." Thirty years have gone by, and another gen eration occupies the place of that which then succumbed to Nicholas, and no one has lately dreamed that the Poles were likely to reassert their claims to independence. But the out break at Warsaw on the 27th of last month re minded Europe that there once was a nation called Poland, and that it is not altogether im possible it may again demand recognition as an organized power. How the trouble began it is difficult to say, but the circumstances sur rounding the affair give to it a peculiar signifi cance. The excitement which prevailed prior to the actual outbreak, the disposition which the people manifested to rise in insurrection, and the magnitude of the demonstration on the day the obsequies of the slain were celebrated, all these things give an unusual importance to the affair, and show that it was not merely a chance collision between the military and a mob. This view of the matter is also confirmed by the language of the various proclamations and memorials which were subsequently ad dressed to the public or forwarded to the Czar by many of the leading citizens. One petition to the Czar had been extensively signed, in which the restitution of the charter of 1831 was demanded ; and in a memorial from the city of Warsaw appeared the following paragraphs: " These events, the heart-rending details of which 'we abstain from describing, were by no means called forth by the subversive passions of any particular class of the population; on the contrary, they are the unanimous and elo quent manifestation of sentiments dis Carded and of wants ignored. * * * * * * "Every inhabitant of this unfortunate coun try entertains in his heart a deep-rooted senti ment of nationality quite distinct from that of the other people of Europe. This sentiment resists the effects of time and of events ; mis fortune, instead of weakening it, has strength ened it * * * * "Confidence cannot be restored. Violent and repressive measures will be resorted to without effect. This country, formerly on the level of civilization with other European States, cannot receive any moral or material develop ment as long as its church, its legislature, its public instruction, and its whole social organi zation are deprived of the stamp of its national genius end historical traditions." The language of the above extracts furnishes sufficiently explicit information concerning the views and feelings of the Polish people. It is pretty certain, however, that the late outbreak will lead to no further revolutionary conse quences at present. It is safe to predict that long before the news reached this side of the Atlantic the Czar had been able to announce, as his father did on a previous occasion, that "order reigned in Warsaw." But the late oc currences there are nevertheless significant, and should Hungary and ,the Venetian provinces again essay to win, by arms, from Austria the rights they have so long battled for, it is not improbable that the Polish exiles may then be summoned from earth's remotest corners to make one more gallant struggle for the x edemp- Lion of their nationality. THE CRIME OF POVERTY—Hoto Prisoners for Debt are Treated in England.—A moot extraor dinary letter, signed "A. Debtor in the City Jail," appeared in the Manchester (England) Gnardian, which shows that the system of prison discipline in that enlightened country is scarcely less barbarous than that practiced in the dungeons of Naples. In referring to the letter, the Guardian says: The writer avers that the prisoners for debt are treated like "the vilest and most depraved felons." They are not allowed to "sing, whistle or laugh," and are liable to solitary confine ment for several days,. with bread and water diet, for the slightest offense against the regu lations. When a debtor arrives at the jail, "he is asked his religion, and told to sign a book, which he does, under the supposition that he is merely registering his religious belief; but if afterward he declines to attend chapel, he is told that signing the book was an undertaking to attend, and that he must be punished for refusing to do so. No matter that he alleges he is a Nonconformist, and objects as a matter of conscience." At this time of the year the chapel (which is the same attended by the fel ons in the jail) is intensely cold, but no excuse for non-attendance is permitted. "An old gentleman, during the present intense frost, begged, in a beseeching manner, to be allowed to stay away from chaped, stating that he was seventy-four years of age, and that the cold current that he was exposed to was too much for a man of his years and infirmity. He was taken before the Governor, who told him to hold his hands by his sides while in his pre sence. The Governor told him that., although he stated upon entering the prison that he was a Presbyterian, still, as he had signed the book, he should sentence him to twenty-four hours solitary confinement for refusing to attend chapel. On being taken to his intensely cold cell, he found that he was only allowed a small piece of bread three times a day with cold water." The solitary cell is quite dark, and debtors •are sometimes confined there for three days. On Sunday week several of the debtors were confined there for twenty-four hours, for not getting out of bed till a quarter of an hour after the regular time (seven o'clock,) though it was quite dark, and no clock is allowed.— One poor gentleman, who suffered terribly from rheumatism, and was frequently compelled to use crutches, begged that he might be per mitted, while thus imprisoned, to purchase, with his own money, such food and warm drinks as his health required. This was re fused,,and nothing but .bread and cold water allowed. One prisoner passed tbree days in this fearful cell for giving his wife a small piece of bread, in order that his children at home might see the quality of the prfson food. Another, on county allowana, took and ate an onion beyond his share, for which he had soli tary confinement an d bread and water for three days. Such are the allegations made by the writer of this startling letter, beside other complaints of most arbitrary regulations as to visitors, by which not only relatives, but even solicitors, are to a great extent debarred from necessary communication with the poor debtors. We quote these statements as we find them in print. Let us think for a moment of the terrible cold of the last few weeks, and then ask - whether, supposing the assertions are uncontradicted, it can be permitted that any man, should have the power of committing persons to unwarmed, unlighted cells, without, proper food, whatever their age or state of health, for trifling breaches of arbitrary prison rules? This is England, not Naples. It seems from this that the plea sure ofinearcercition for debt in England is about equal to that enjoyed in Italy. MARVELOUS MAGIC—The Decapitation Feat as Performed by an Eastern Jugsder.—l was a stu dent of medicine in Paris in 1858 and, 1859, ' and in company with other Americans, tired of the hum-drum monotonous life of the Quartier Latin, I frequently roamed through the new city, on the west bank of the Seine. Concerts and operas, gardens and singing cafes, bazaars and boutiques were all visited by us. One evening, at early dusk, a party of us were strolling through the Rue Richelieu. and when near the Boulevards, our attention was drawn to a flaming poster of an Eastern juggler, who was performing at some hall on the Boulevard de Temple. mong the things very wonderful this man would cut off the head of a living man, and would dzfy any one to surprise him in the trick. Being considerably accustomed to manipulating with the knife in the dead, and being thoroughly hardened to all sights of horror, we determined to go and see this won derful necromancer. At, the hour appointed we repaired to the hall, and obtained a seat near the stage. After performing wonderful tricks, the magician came forward and an nounced as his last feat for the evening the actual decapitation of a living man, apparently. To prevent feelings of horror among the ladies, he assured the audience it was , a trick of leger demain, mere sleight of hand—that he did not, in reality, cut. the man's head off. With this explanation he invited any one in the audience desirous of capital punishment to step forward, promising speedy satisfaction. For some mo ments no one appeared anxious for the honor. At length a soldier, a private in the infantry, stepped forward and signified his readiness to be decapitated. There could have been, it was plain, no connivance between the men. No man dare assume the martial bearing of France without authority. Directing the man to divest himself of his coat and neck-tie, or stock, the magician brought out his instrument of death. It was an enormous knife, resembling a ponderous cleaver. He cast it down to show its weight, and it left a large impress in the boards. There was no deception in the weight of the knife. He then made the man lie down, and placing the soldier's neck far in the block, the magician fixed a long handle to his enormous knife, and proceeded very leisurely, and withSeavy, well directed strokes, to chop the man's head off. During this he merely lowered the foot-lights, without obscuring the view at all. Cries of horror and amazement burst from the terror stricken audience, as with : every descending blow of the huge cleaver the blood spurted away. The man who was undergoing the ope ration simply quivered through his lower limbs. Soon the dismembered head rolled on the floor, the bloodissued by jets from the cut arteries, and the jawsdropped, while the eyes turned up in PUBLISHED EVERY MORNING, 1117NDLY0 lIIOEPTED, BY O.

I almost expected to see a fierce gendarme seize and arrest the murderer. Suddenly, but only for an instant, the room was darkened. In a second all was light again. And we saw the magician busy at work, coapitating the head to the bleeding trunk. Diligently he wOrked, and for some moments, apparently, to no pur pose. All at once, owever, he slapped' the dead soldier smartly on the back; immediately the man arose, felt anxiously around his nedk, looked foolishly around and descended amid the audience. BRONZE MONEY.—A new bronze coinage his recently been introduced into England; to re-• place the copper coin made at the beginning of, the century. It is composed of 95 parts of copper, 4of tin and lof zinc. It is extremely' . bard, which will diminish the wear and tear, while the coppery smell of the old coin is , avoided. The government last summer con tracted with Messrs. James Walls & Co. for the b execution and delivery of this brow 'coin, of "which there will be required, in two years and a half the enormous amount of eighteen hun dred tons. The production of this sum involves the striking of upwards of 400,000 pieces per day on an average, during the whole 'of two years and a half. These pieces have to be made up into about 60,000 rouleauz per day, wrapped up inpaper, placed in separate cases of the value of £1 each, and packedin strong boxes of £2O each for delivery and distribution. More than 40,000 of such boxes and 800,000 — internal Cases are required. Thirteen screw coining presses are employed fulfilling this contract. They make from 60 to 100 blows per minute, and are driven by the pressure'of the atmosphere acting on a vacuum produced by .4 steam engine. "MILLEEISM" REVIVED.—Through many parts of Canada the excitement in reference to the " end" of the worldis being again revived, and new prophets of the Miller school are springing up, who assume to have discovered that the Savioui's second appearance on the earth will positively take place in 1868. Quite a 'remarkable ledture upon the subject his recently been delivered by the Rev. Mr. Baxter, the Episcopal clergyman of Owendaga, C., W. The reverend gentleman brought up quite a series of data to defend his theory, meYl tioned no less than thirteen different chrono logical periods whose termini, according. to the revelation, wont be brought to an, end in 1868. Mr. B. also advanced the idea that OhrSt would come in 1863, and remain in his jildg ment seat between heaven and- earth,' while the one hundred and forty-four thousand were sealed, when he would again -descend, .and the seventh seal of the'revelation would be opened, and the Milldninm begin. He said we were at the last period of time alloted to the sixtirsetil, and described Louis Napoleon as the anti-Christ, referred to in the Revelations, as, setting np himself in dominion over the whole earth. In anticipation on the adoption and use of locomotives on common roads, to the perfection of which considerable attention has been oflate paid in England, a bill has been introduced into Parliament for their regulation. It enacts that the weight on each,pair of wheels is not to exceed one ton and a half. The use of loeo motives destructive to highways or dangerous to the public is-to be prohibited by the 'Secre tary of the State, so as , to prevent excessive wear and tear. The weight of locomotives over county, parish, or suspension bridges' is not to exceed 15 tons, and any dadiage is to be made good. The locomotives are to mutate their own smoke. Two persons are to, drive and conduct every. locomotive, and red lights are to be fixed conspicuously in front of loco motives and wagons one hour after sunset tiiitil one hour before sunrise. The speed ofloeoino lives on high roads is not to exceed. ten miles an hour, and through towns, cities, orvillages, five. No locomotive is.to be used Within the city of London more than 7 feet in width and with wheels 6 inches wide. DISOHDEBLY CONDUCT OF AN ENGLISH LAD. —Lord Adolphus Vane Tempest, a member of the British House of Commons, has been ma king himself unpleasantly prominent in: Lon don. A few weeks ago he was arrested,in.the streets for stopping cabs and carriages, and throwing cigars and money among "the crowd which collected. When taken before the Ma gistrate he began to sing an opera tune, beating time on the front of the witness box. He was sent to the house of detention in a cab,, under 'the conduct of o ffi cers. During the trip he frequently spat in the faces of the officers, and it was only with great difficulty, and by_the display of great forbearance, that the ,officers succeeded in their task. At the house of de tention he continued so violent thatit was deemed necessary to place him in a • padded room, and he was subsequently sent_to a pri vate-insane asylum: The Empress Eugenie is said to be in a state of perpetual terror about the condition .of soul. Her mind is tottering. At one moment she is for setting out on a pilgrimage to, the Holy Land, at another she is absorbed in all the miseries of spirit-rapping; then the Emperor finds her in a state of nervous affection, as if life were an absolute burden to her. The priests have told her that Providence has, as signed to her a grand role. It was for this that she was rescued in that terrible hour of agony when it became a question whether the,Ceosa- Han operation must not be performed, and it is for this she lives at the present hour. 'But the poor soul is fairly bewildered with alLthat is told her; and while she loves the Emperor and her little child with her whole strength, she is in doubt whether she ought not to desert both—throne and all—for the sake of the sacred Vicar of Christ. A FIGHTING MINISTER. —The Miliraukie Sentinel relates that the pastor in one of the churches in that city recently bemne aware that a young man of his congregation was forming bad habits. Meeting the .stray lamb one night in the streets with some dissolute companions, the reverend gentleman attempted to dissuade him from going further, but the rowdies in company objected, and one of them struck the parson. The fellow had reckoned without his host. Ip a moment the clergyman had thrown off his /coat and " sailed in." A very brief space of time sufficed for hint to " wax blazes" out of the crowd, and having accomplished the feat, be quietly resumed his coat, and with it his equanimity. He was not molested, we presume. Whether he rescued the object of his anxiety from the possession of the 'arty, is not stated. Several young ladies, and young men in female apparel, residing in the neighborhood of Livermore, Westmoreland county, Pa., were recently taken before a magistrate, upon the complaint 'of a young man residing in the town, who alleged that the defendants, while return. ing from a prayer meeting, threw him down, and having daubed him with tar, applied feath ers. The young ladies stated that he had made use of offensive language concerning them. The matter was arranged by the pay ment of a small fine and costs.
