POLAND.
After more titan a year of expectation, the
Extraordinary Tribunal, composed of Russian
Generals and Magistrates of Poland, and inslitn.
tod tor the purpose ot trying the principal actors
in the Polish revolution, has at last pronounced
judgment. It is far more rigorous than was
thought it would be. The members of the Gov.
eminent am condemned to death, without ex
cepting even tlie Generalissimo Skrzyneckt,
though lie only f ■rtned partol the Council in ex
traordinary cases. No notice is taken ol the
second Generalissimo, Prince Michael Radzi
vill, This indulgence is attributed to the inter
cession ot the Court of Prussia, to which this
Prince’s family is related. The venerable Vin
cent Nieinojowski is the only member of the
Government now in the country to whom this
barbarous sentence applies. All the r*st have
sought refuge abroad. This heroic old man is,
then, the only victim left for the tribunal 1
“On ihe publication ot ilia sentence, Prince
Paskewitsch, the Russian Viceroy, caused Nie
inojowski to be brought before him, loaded with
chains., and proposed to him to implore the Em
peror’s clemency, but the noble old man disdain
fully rejected tins counsel. We know,however,
from an authentic source, that Prince Paske
witsch asked the Emperor’s pardon for Niemo
jowski, attributing his obstinacy in refusing to
ask for it himself, to mental alienation, the con
sequence ot the sufferings he had endured in his
dungeon.
The same sentence condemns to death all
those filling public si'uations before the revolu
tion who took part in the regency of Zakroczym.
The catalogue of these is very large, for it
comprehends those deputies who were enlisted
among the public functionaries. The kind of
punishment varied also according to the degree of
culpability. Some were to perish by the sword,
others by the gibbet,and the judges have stretched
their barbarity so far, ns to order the previous
mutilation ofthose youths, who gave the signal
lor the revolution, by attacking the Chateau dc
Belvedere.
Sentence of death against Prince Adam Czar,
ton/ski. — After having dwelt upon Ihe different
motives of the charges brought against the five
members of the national Polish Government,
M. Iloklenowski, the General Procurator, con
tinned in impeaching the Prince Adam Czartoy.
ski. President of that Government.
“ The case of Prince Adam Czarloryski,” he
said, “is such as to imply of itself still more
culpability. The higli station that the Prince
held in his country, the eminence of his birth,
his large fortune and extensive connexions, his
accomplishments and talents, which he was
generally known to possess, have proved to be
the principal cause that at the moment the revo
lution broke out the conduct of Prince Czartory
ski was looked upon by many as an example for
imitation by them—an example of which be un
fortunately gave but too unequivocal a proof,
when, being elected head of the soi disant na
tional Government, in his speech addressed to
the two united Chambers, on the 28th of Janua
ry, ho expressed his thanks for the high mark of
confidence placed in him, and was at the same
time encouraging his countrymen to maintain, to
the utmost of their power, the cause of the in
surrection.
“ It is thus that individuals whom fortune has
been favoring so as to insure their influence
over the masses of the population, become the
more culpable by abandoning the path of their
duty.
“’1 heso, no less than the holding of office of
President ot the snidisanl national Govern
ment of Poland by Prince Czartoryski, arc of
themselves sufficient toesfahlish a charge against
him pursuant to the 24th article of the penal
code, even with aggravating circumstances,” Slc.
It is known that the sentence passed on that
illustrious patriot was that of death.
[Ftom the same, of A ng. 22.]
The following affair, which presents singular
circumstances, lately took place at Catanea, in
Sicily :—“ln most of the Sicilian towns, where
robbers are unmet ons and daring, the rich, and
principally the nobles, are accustomed to depos
it at some monastery, as a place of safety, large
sums of money, of which they have no; imme
diate need. Thus, Count C. had secretly sent
an enormous iron chest to the Convent of St.
Claire. The rumor of it was, nevertheless,
spread in the town, and a band of robbers re
bel veil to make themselves master* of this trea
sure. The difficulty was to find a favorable op
portnnitv. After having long watched, one pre
sented itself. The stock of wood in the Convent
was exhausted, and it became necessary to have
a I'resh supply. In such cases the abbess applied
to the bishop, and one of the grand vicars of the
prelate purchased the wood, and sent it to the
convent in (tie charge of a carter, in whom he
placed confidence. This man was alone to un
load the \< ood, and stow it, in the presence of
the ziteila, or servant maid of the convent. The
wood house was situated in the garden of the
convent, the gate of which it was necessary to
open. While the carter was unloading the wood
a porter offered to help him, without any other
reward than a glass of wine. The ziteila, wish
ing to get through the task as quickly as possi
ble, imprudently accepted the oiler, notwith
standing the strict prohibition to employ any
stranger. When the work was done, she ran to
the convent to fetch the wine she had promised.
At her return the porter had disappeared. The
carter knew not what had become of him, but
said he supposed lie was tired of wailing, and
had gone away. The ziteila felt some suspicion,
but alter having well examined the wood house,
si c shut the door and the garden gate, and car
ried brick the keys to the abbess. After sapper,
one of the nuns looking out of a window, ima
gined that she saw a man gliding among the
trees in the garden, she told the ziteila of it;
hut the latter, fearing that she should be pun
ished for her negligence, endeavored to make the
nun believe it was fancy, and took cure not to
mention her suspicions, because she thought that
even if there was a man in the garden, the thick
w alls and grated windows insured safety to the
convent. II owever, she resolved to keep a good
look out, and when she had retired to her cell,
she opened her window, and posted herself near
it, watching with her eyes and ears. After a
I,>nor time, neither seeing nor hearing any thing,
s |, e °resolved to go to bed, but her anxiety pre-
Rented her sleeping. On a sudden she thought
she heard whispering. She ran to her window
:md was terribly alarmed on perceiving close be
neath it seven “or eight men, who were speaking
in a low voice. She listened attentively, and
heard the conversation in which she hersed
was mentioned. She was thunderstruck at learn
ing the i retended porter, who, without doubt,
had taken advantage of the moment when the
nuns were at supper to enter the convent, was
concealed under the bed of the abbess, whom he
was to seize and strangle, il she uttered the least
cry to give alarm, instead of ransoming herself |
by declaring w here the Count's iron chest was
deposited, and giving up (lie keys of the convent.
The ziteila seeing the imminent danger in which
her superior was placed, determined to ring the
great bell of the convent, the customary signal
in monastic houses to give alarm, and which
must infallibly bring succour. On her way to
the steeple, she heard the bell of the abbess, and
feeling that to save her life there was not a mo.
ment to lose, she hastened her steps. After a
few seconds the great hell sounded. At this
noise, the robbers who were in the garden, find
ing themselves discovered, took to flight precipi
lately, leaving their accomplice behind them.—
The latter, not being able to find the keys, could
not escape, and had no other resource than hid
ing himself in some corner of the monastery. —
The inhabitants of the town soon hastened in
crowds to the gates of the convent, to afford the
assistance that might be necessary. Having
learned what was the matter, they surrounded
th# house at all points, and awaited the arrival
of the magistrates and the armed force. The
gates were then opened, and a search made
which was long fruitless. At length, the male
factor was discovered, seized, and delivered up to
justice.”

The present attitude ofSpatn, whose regener.
ation may be confidently looked for under its
new political constitutional organization, attracts
to it the attention of the rest of the civilized
world and gives interest to authentic informa
tion relating to its people and soil. A statist!,
cal work on Spain has recently been published
in France, by a writer represented to be worthy
of credit for intelligence and accuracy.
The ancient races and those of the middle
ages, from which the population of Spain is des
tended, are singularly numerous and various.—
The native races are seven in number, the for
eign eleven, embracing the Phcniciar.s, Greeks,
Carthagenians, Romans,Vandals, Sueves, Goths,
Alins, Arabians, Moors and Normans. All
these have become so intermingled as to leave
only in a few provinces traits characteristic of
any one, and from their union has been produced
a people unsurpassed by any on the earth in na
live qualities, physical and mental.
Tho population in Spain amounted in 1803 to
ten millions, in 1826 to nearly sis een. In 1803
the classification of its inhabitants was as fol
lows :
Clergv, ..... 203,298
’ Nobility 1,440,000
’ Offi-ers, civil and military, . 343,047
Law yers, Notaries, Students, . 199,366
1 Army,'navy and mariners, . . 590.000

‘ Merchants and Traders, . . 103,017
Manufacturers, .... 119,250
Mechanics, .... 813,967
Peasants and laborers, . . 5,600,000
M. Moreau de .Tonnes, (he author of the work,
states, that in Spain one person out of three
works: the other two do nothing. From this
may be inferred what progress she will make in
the arts and attainments of civilization, when by
the improvement of her internal politics, the men
tal and physical resources ot her people and soil
shall be developed.
lie sets down the total revenue o'” Spain at,
two hundred and fifty millions of dollars, about
two thirds of w hich arise from agriculture.—
The cost of agricultural productions absorbs on
ly half of the amount produced, while in Franc*
it absorbs three fourths of it.
The revenue of the Clergy is fifty five millions
of dollars.
The number of the nobility has been much re
duced since the beginning of this century. In
some provinces, however, lor example Biscay
and the Asturias, nearly all the population is
noble ; many head servants and coachmen be
long by descent to this order. Some of the first
class of the nobility possess immense landed
1 property.
Spain was the first country in Europe in which
participation in public affairs was extended to
i the people. The first mention of deputies from
towns to the Cortes of Castilleis as far hack as
the year 1188. In Aragon a lew years earlier,
■ being in 1163. In Germany deputies from the
imperial cities were not admitted to the German
p diet until 1293. In England there is no evidence
of the admission of the Commons to parliament
■ before 1265. In France the participation of the
towns in the States General dates only from
1303.
Originally the right of voting belonged to all
citizens domiciliated in the towms ; but under
the pretext of avoiding tumult, it was afterwards
restricted to the corporations.
The Cortes voted the taxes, and a solemn act
passed in 1465 prescribed that no tax should be
levied without their previous consent. This
law was executed until the reign of Charles V.
who at first eluded it, and afterw’ards openly vio.
lated it. It was trampled on by Philip I]., and
thence forward the government of Spain was a
despotism.
It was the institution of the Cortes, supported
hy the infranchisement of the villages and the
privileges ofthe cities, which prevented Spain
from continuing longer than down toffie eleventh
century under the poke of the feudal system like
the natives ofthe North of Europe. The people
were never completely reduced to servitude by
the nobles. And it was only at the accession of
the House of Austria that they lost entirely their
liberties.
It is worthy of remark that the deputies of the
people were instructed by their constituents and
paid by them for attendance.
[From the Baltimore American.]
In noticing some days ago the project of a rail
road from Memphis to Savannah and Augusta,
we referred to the plan ol another, destined to
start from Memphis in the south west corner of
Tennessee and travetsing the whole length of
the Stale diagonally, to strike the Virginia line at
the north east corner. We have now before us a
Report ot Col. S. H. Long, U. S. Topographical
Enginaer, upon this route, which he regards as a
portion of a grand route, extending from the head
ofthe Chesapeake Bay to the Mississippi River.
By an examination of the tnap it will be perceiv.
ed that this route runs with the Alleghany ridges,
and that the range of valleys, (remarkable for
fertility) formed by them which passes through
Pennsylvania, Maryland, and Virginia, enters
Tennessee at the point above indicated. This
course seems to he marked by nature for a line of
communication between the centre ofthe Atlan
tic States and those ot the south* est, and, by the
name ofthe Guyandolte route, is that now taken
by most travellers between those regions of the
United States.
The line within the State of Tennessee is more
than half the whole distance from .Memphis to
Baltimore, being 510 miles. From the Virginia
and Tennessee boundary to Harper’s Ferry is 394
miles, and from Harper’s ferry to this city 85,
making altogether 999 miles. A rail-road is in
progress from Harper’s ferry to Winchester, and
surveys have been extended from the latter place
through the great valley of Virginia to Tennes.
see. The sum now paid by the United States
for transporting the mail this whole distance, at
the slow rate of seventy miles per day, is the
interest of more three millions of dollars; and
Col. Long justly remarks, that the General Go.
vernment would be a gainer by contributing double
this amount for the construction of a rail-road
which would carry the mail two hundred miles i
per day. “The range of the Alleghany moan- |
tains,” says Col. Long, “wh’ch is pervaded al.
most throughout its whole extent hy this route
has been very appropriately called the backbone |
I efthe United States: the contemplated railroad
mny with equal propriety be denominated its
spina! marrow, alike essential to the protracted
vitality of our confederacy.”

We continue our remarks upon the amend
ment of the State Constitution, proposing to
change the annual for biennial elections and
meetings es the Legislature.
One of the objections expressed against an
nual elections, is the excitement which they
create. We admit that elections create excite
ment, and are productive of much mischief.—
Will biennial elections remedy the evils, by re
moving the causes of them ? We believe not.—
On the contrary, with biennial elections, the ex
citement will acquire a double intensity by the
lunger time which the human passions will have
to exercise their sway. With annual elections
the excitement is over as soon as the polls are
closed, and is generally renewed only a few
months before the day of elections. With bien
nial elections, the campaigns will open the mo
ment that one is determined ; and the reasons
are obvious. The parties having a longer period
to organise themselves, an 1 to make proslytes,
will begin early tlicir political manoeuvres a
mong the people. Those parties will com
mencc in those counties where they have less
influence ; so that every county in the Slate
will be invaded by the active agents of the res
pective parties. With annual elections the op
posing parties have not time to discipline their
followers, so as to bring into the field an imbro
ken phalanx ; there is always more or less tin
certainty as to the result of the elections. With
biennial elections, opposing ourtics will have
time to discipline their followers, and, especially,
to confirm th.m in the principles of the parties
to which they respectively belong. If constan
cy to party principles, whether right or wrong,
and firmness in adhering to the fortunes of a
party, can be desired in Georgia; then biennial
elections will operate these objects, because
more time will be given to the intriguer, and
cunning, and designing, to work on men’s minds,
by flattering their ambition, and their vanu
ty, by promising political advancement, and by
insuring the gratification of all political de
sires in the ascendency of the party to which they
are attached. It will happen that men, who
have doubts of the soundness of the political
principles of the party they support, will, never,
theless, act with it, and exert their influence for
it,because theyanticipate success at the elections,
at the same time that they calculate on the hen.
efits which they promised themselves. With
biennial elections political combinations may be
formed which may prove highly detrimental to
the public peace, and injurious to our public in
stitutions ; and those combinations may place in
the hands of a few individuals, an influence and
a power which cannot be resisted but after a
complete change in the organization and disci
pline of the parties then in existence. With
annual elections all this is otherwise. There
is no time for the complete organization and
discipline of parties; therefore, voters go to
the polls with a more independent spirit, they
do not f. el themselves absolutely bound to
give their suffrage according to the dictates of
their parties. If the principles of a party are
founded in truth and in wisdom, the followers
of this party will never hesitate to give their
support ; but if doubts exist as to the soundness
and truth of the principles, party organization
and discipline cannot, in a few months, lead the
voters astray, so as to support a party the princi
ples of which are not recommended by truth and
wisdom ; they will go to the polls with less par
tisan zeal and attachment, and vote more in ac
cordance with their consciences. It may be
answered, that the elections are frequently deci
ded by the manceuvres practised on the day of
elections. We admit that many votes arc chan,
ged on that day. But this does not subvert the
position we have assumed. Can intelligent men,
possessing a nice sense of discrimination, be
made to change in a few hours by the insinua
lions and artful misrepresentations of party lead
ers ? We believe not. Who then can be made
to change ? Those that would change at
any time and under any circumstance. If
we have biennial elections in Georgia, par
ties will be formed and organized, to which th«
members will adhere with zeal and the utmost
j constancy, without regarding principles, nor the
effects those parties may respectively have on
I the future prosperity of the State. No matter
how wrong and injudicious the measures of a
party may be, organization and discipline will
insure a concentrating influence in all its pro
ceedings. While, with annual elections, no
’ compact bodies ot men can he formed to as to
, act with perfect unanimity. If such parties as
. are here described are desirable, then let us
adopt the amendment proposed ; but if parties,
. animated by principles atone, should exist, in or
i der to produce the salutary effect of inducing the
> citizens to keep a constant vigilance over their
civil and political rights, then it is our firm con
viction, that annual elections can best accomplish
■ that object.
I Before we conclude this branch of the subject
under review, we will add one more remark.—
Our legislators are not infallible ; they can, as
! others have done before them, pass injurious.and
unconstitutional laws. Where is the remedy,
’ if we have biennial elections, and meetings of
the legislature ? Must the people sustain for
two years the injury produced by those laws ? If
the laws passed are unconstitutional, the judi
ciary may Interpose. But before it interposes,
> much injury may he sustained by the people, and
who will repair it ? The Governor will have the
• power to convene the Legislature, in cases of
emergency. But what legislature would he
convene ? The same legislature which passed
tho injurious laws. Thus, considered in another
( point of view, biennial elections and meetings of
the legislature, cannot fail to produce evils which
' may become irremediable. We are, therefore,
i for continuing the present system, and against
| biennial elections, even if we were certain to
i have no other men but the equals ot Solon and
i Aristides for our representatives in the legisla
ture.
O’ la an advertisement of Mr. Spragens, it
will be seen that he possesses the exclusive
right, in the State of Georgia, of vending Stag
ner’s invention for the cure of Hernia. To this
advertisement are appended several certificates,
from persons who have been cured, and from
several physicians of Warrenton, in our State.
The certificates should have great weight with
the public, as being from, citizens of respectabili
ty and high standing in the community. We are
acquainted with most of them, and we can say
that the utmost dependence can he placed in their
statements. We express ourselves thus, merely
to rendei justice to Mr. Spragens, and to assist
him in the object he has undertaken, relying
implicitly on the recommendation of the citizens
of Warrenton, who have used Stagner’s inven
tion. In support of those certificates, we copy
from the National Intelligencer of last Septem
ber, the following extract, from a communica
tion relating to the invention in question.

’ It should be observed that Drs. 31. and R. do
not go about selling trusses that may or may not
have any good effect, as has heretofore been the
, practice. They undertake the care itself, and
I adapt an instrument to each particular case, (a
mode common sense would point out, one would
’ think, where the human form, and the location of
the injury, varies so much,) and are so well assu

t herd, and is pronounced by competent judges to
be superior, both in point of model ai)d workman
’ ship, to ma ty of ihc first rate ships of which it is
now tiie pride of New-Englaud to boast.—She
. does ample justice to the liberality and taste of
the owner—and cannot fail to add to the already
well earned fame, of the enterprising and ingem.
L ous builder.—f She is called the “ Helen Brooks-”
Eli Whitney. —A splendid ship, says the Mer
cantile-Journal, was launched this forenoon from
the ship.yard of Messrs Sprague &. James, in
1 Medford, belonging to Josiah Whitney & Co. ot
this city, and others. She is a finely proportioned
, ship, and built of the very best materials, in a
workman-like manner. She measures 130 feet
on deck, and 30 feet beam, and will measure up
-1 wards of 530 tons. She went off the stocks in
fine style; and being intended for the cotton trade
, between Savannah and Liverpool, was christen
ed by the very appropriate name of Eli Whit
ney. She is to be commamh-dby Capt. Harding,
who superintended her construction.
r Some of the finest and best ships in the U.
t States, have been built in Medford—and the Eli
Whitney appears to be no means interior in excel
lence of model or skill in workmanship to any
! that we have seen.— Ev. Gaz.
A lad ten or twelve years old. a son of Isaac
Johnson, living with Leonard Cornwell, about 3
miles south of this village, was found on Wednes
day last in a truly lamentable condition. It ap
pears that he had been sent to pasture with some
I cows, and was to return with two horses, one of
which was somewhat skittish. In order to keep
him f rom getting away, he tied one end of a rope
line, which was attached to tfie horse’s neck, a
round his bpdy. It is supposed that the animal
started ofi'at full speed, dragging the unfortunate
boy over a mile upon, the ground, when he was
discovered hrclcss, his head horribly mangled,
and bruised in other parts ol his body. —Lung

Antrnsfa Cotton Market. Oct. 16.
The last accounts from Liverpool, although not as
favorable as was anticipated, have not had any ma
terial eff -ct here. The market opened rather heavily
on Monday and Tuesday, and sales were made at
5 somewhat lower rates, say a reduction of 1-4 c«nt.
Yesterday, however, there appeared to be a better de
■ rnand, and the article has regained what it lost during
* the early part of the week. Sales were readily made
’ at old prices, say for prime J 3 3-4 alt, fair to good
, parcels 13 1-4 al3 1-2, average sales inferior 12 a 13.
