  IN the Prospectu s * which the NORTH AMERICAN LAND AGENCY bas afready published their views , it is hoped , have been sufficiently explained as regards the promotion of Emigration to Lands and Estates , purchased through its intervention in Canada , < $ " The Agents coKffdently submit , however , that the pame views , more fully developed , may be made essentially useful , not only to the unemployed classes in this country , but also to those who are possessed of some capital , though insufficient in amount to secure , of itaelf , their permanent welfare and prosperity . It wiU be admitted that Emigration has heretofore been conducted on a system productive , in the aggregate , of much individual hardship and distress—and especially to | the Emi ^ ranf ^ of the poorer olass ; for on arriving at hia poft of debarkation , be has found himself , generally speaking , with little or no money , and no friends to assist him in procuring work , or even to point out in what part of the Province he would be most likely to obtain it , —while he who possessed some little capital has met with similar difficulties , in making choice of a location . Canada , though all things considered , perhaps the most important of our colonies , is virtually a terra incognita—Bimpiy because there is no one willing , if able , to afford the requisite information to those who seek it , and it is this deficiency which it is the aim and object ofthe Agents effectually to remedy . : There are hundreds in Great Britain anxious to emigrate , but who , from want of sufficient means , are deterred from , or unable to do so . To such the Agents can offer ) facilities heretofore- nnthonjjhfc of and unattainable ; for example : —A man having no more than £ 100 , would not better his situation by . emigrating to Canada as an agriculturist—for the purchase of his Land , and the unavoidable preliminary expenditure thereon , the expence of conveyance thither , and his support , however frugal , until his first crops were gathered in , would absorb more than his entire capi'al , even under the most favourable circumstances . Such a capital , on tho contrary , would be found not only sufficient on the plan proposed by the ' Agents , as hereafter explained , but at the same time , immunity from the usual hardships and privations would be secured , and to the prudent and industrious a comfortable and permanent competentcy m the future . , ' \ But the great body of our emigrating population is composed of persona having no capital whatever , generally without even the means of paying their passage-money to a ¦ Colony , however aporoximate to the mother country . The sufferings which too often befal these poor people , are greater than would be generally believed—not on shipboard , for there they are now well-oared for , owina : to the strictness with which the wholesome regulations of the " Passengers' Aot ' are enforced by the Government Emigration Agents here and in Canada . It is on their arrival in the Colony that tbe struggle really commences , a triugle not confined to the mare labourer , but more or less participated in by the small capitalist , to whom reference was first made . ' j He must search for bis Land in a country , to the localities of which , its soil and seasons , he is a perfect stranger ; and when selected , however judiciously , he must live upon his own resources until the sensuing harvest . He must erect his own log house , clear and fence his land , wasting valuable time , and spending ! much of his already too Bcanty capital unprofitably , from j inexperienco in the work he has undertaken . The former , on landing at his destined port , applies for work , which if unattainable on the spot , he must seek for elsewhere , or starve . If without funds , he is provided by the Emigration Agrnt appointed by Government , with a free passage in a steam boat to wherever he chooses to go , and then every resource but his own labour ceases . It may not be irrelevent to mention , that the money thus expended in Canada in 1042 , waa £ 18 , 161 ; and in 1843 , nearly £ 9 , 000 ; Emigration in the latter year having fallen off 51 per cent , as compared with the former ; a plain proof of the generally help less condition of our emigrating brethren , and that the distress alluded to ia > ar from being exaggerated . ] The Agents will now proceed to state as briefly as possible , those ; remedial measures which they are sanguine enough to hope may remove in a treat degree , if not altogether , the evils complained of . It has be + n observed in the first prospectus' that tho Agent in London has for sale upwards of 600 , 000 A ^ res of Land in different parts of Upper and Lower Canada ; and it j is in a great degree owing to the exceedingly low terms on which the Agents are authorised to dispose of some of the best of these properties , that they are enabled to offar to the consideration of tho public thfl following scheme : — Tho statement marked A shows , that with no greater capital than £ 77 , a single man , fobmino one of a > AnTY of not LESS than ten families , OR principals , will acquire in fee simple , or Freehold , Land to the ex ^ nt of 100 Acres . That for a man and his wife , or two single men . the capital required will be only £ 37 , or £ 43 lOi . each ; with ono child , £ 92 5 s ., or £ 30115 a . each ; the amount per head decreasing as me numbers in a family increase . It has been remarked , that with so small a sum at command as £ 100 , the agriculturist would not better bis condition by emigrating ; and it is presumed that the reasons ] givon are a sufficient evidence of the fact . The plan now submitted goes , however , to prove that even ; this small stock of money caa be made not only ample for all useful purposes , but will leave a fund to meet contingencies . Tho statement marked B shows in like manner the capital reqnired to entitle the Emigrant to 50 Acres of Land in Freehold , and this scale is intended to apply to those who depend upon the assistance of others , partially or wholly , to enable them to omigrate . To this table the Agents bespeak the especial attention of those who support Emigration fmm benevolent views . Looking at the brightest flido of the picture , if has \ lecn % to th's poor man , merely a transition from labour in one country , to labour in another , with the prospect , if successful , at saving \ n the course of years , sufficient to procure those advantages which are hora offered him on setting foot in Canada . Not only will he be exempt from the prospect of want , provided of course he be prudent and industrious , but he will be spared those hardships and privations heretofore inseparable from the change of home and country ; and secure to himself a state of comfort aud independence beyond any expectations he could ever have ventured to indulge in . i The public may fairly require some guarantee beyond the mere character of the Agents , that they have the power as well as tho inclination , faithfully to carry out that which they undertake to perform . Such a guarantee they are prepared to offer , and in a form which ; they trust will be approved of . They propose— { That when the purchase is made , the money contributed by each family or principal shall be plaoed in the hands of tho Bankers of tho Agency , in London , in the joint names of the Agent in London , and some one appointed by the Settlers , to be applied in the manner following , viz .: — 1 * To pay the purchase money of the Land so Boon as the Title Deeds of the same , legally execnted in the Colony , are delivered over to tho Purchasers . ; 2 . To defray the Passage Money of tho Settlers in ihe manner usually practised in Emigrant Ships , and 3 . To repay all other disbursements undertaken by the Agents , so as , but not before , the Settlers shall have arrived on their location , and are therefore in actual possession of the seitlement prepared for them .

  A LESSON FOR CROWDED HEADS . 6 BEAT MEETING OF THE DEMOCRATS OF XOJTDOitf TO EXPRESS THEIR ABHORRENCE OF IMPERIAL DESPOTISM . On Tfcmaday evening , Jane the 6 th , the National Hall , High Holboro , was thro / sm open to give the men Of London an opportunity to express their feeling as regards the " antoerat of ali the Bussias . " The time announced for tbs meeting tob eight o ' clock , but long I « fore that time the spacious ~ hall was crammed to excess , and to the icnear of the democracy" thousands Trent away -who conld not obtain admission . In the galleries and body of the hall were many respectably attired females , a large numb-i of Poles , and other foreigners . Amongst the latter we noticed aiBlenrafcy , SebemsSy , Dr . Sbartz , ic . Shortly after . eisfci o ' clock Mr . Belcerington was unanimously called to the chair , amidst tries of " adjourn , adjourn , " Order having been partially restored , —

It was strange that so many kings should visit ' En ^ land at this period . It was said that the viidi of Nicholas of Bassia tad t-een indnced by a desire to see the amiable < Jssen who sat npon cur throne . ( Laughter . )

  Mr . Sic&abu ilooBE called upon the men of England to remember tke bmeberies of fathers and mothers ,-and tbe spoliation of female honour thai took place nsder the ^ ovtrnment of Russian barbarians . It T * as not ( said Mr : M . i the Pcles al * ne that were tbu » bntehertd ; the Circassians . were also Eacri £ » d by the same ruthless tyrants . ( Bear . ) Tbe mm who governed these northern barbarians bad insulted'Esgiand by bis presence . Mr . Moore concluded a very impassioned address by moving tbe following resolntion : — " That this mteUng has hard , with- tbe strongest feelings of indignation , of tbe visit of the Russian Emperor Jficbolas—a Hian whose acts proclaim him a tyrant , "whese despotic principles are hateful , and TThose presence is an insult to the great boSyot tbe people as tbs remembrance of the wrongs of Poland most cause them to scorn and Ef urn the oppie&Boi cf that unh « ppy country . "
  
  3 dr . 3 Ai ^ BRTDGE Seconded the resolution , which was carried amidst tbe must usbonnded acclamation . At this period the meeting presented a nost terrific appearance , The crowds outside the Hall bad , by a simultaneous movtment , made their way partiaky within tiie Ball , raising np , as if it were on their shoulders , the persons who previously cecnp ed it . Tie cry of adjournment wa * re-echoed from all sides , and the meeting evinced every disposition to adjourn to Lincoln ' s Inn yields . :-Hr . . I < ov £ TT essayed in Tain , several times , to address ssd calm tee assembly .

And that they would have if they adjourned to IincoInVinn-Pields .
  
  This address had the effect of quieting tbe meeting , and induciEg those who bad forced tLeir ^ vsy into the body of the Hall upDn the shoulders of tbesa in advance of tfctm to retire te a large room attached to the buildia ^ T where they held a meeting of tbair ewa , at wtric ' a Vpeeche * , fifinnnciatory of the Stapsror o £ Rassia and Of ids visit to this cuttntry , irere aeliver&d . TJpon thtii Ifctirement icom the Luyer Hall , ISx . P . A . Tatloe ., Jan ., moved the second resolution : — "That ths people of England have just cause for suspecting . that some infringement on tbe lights of humanity or public liberty Is contemplated , when a tyrannical and despotic sovereign visits their country ; and it behoves them earnestly to watch lest these in
  
  power be t ray the trust reposed in them to gratify the , desires of snen a Tn ^ Ti as JTIchelas . " ' Jit Tatlos ridiculed the conduct of these -Noble- ; Xords—ths supporters of the Pol * g—who endeavoured j to secure to the Emperor Nicholas a warm reception , j and who , ^ in order to avoid giving him offence , sug-t gested the ball in favour ol the Poles should not take | place—( immense groaning ) . He then said , that -at the j netting of the Anti-Corn Law league on the previous ] nijht , a speaker described one of those monsters whoi infringed the laws of liberty , the xighu of humanity , j find who would sot hesitate to perpetrate the most ; frightful butcheries t « gratify his desires . The meet- i ing ^ that was thus addressed , imagined that the i speaker alluded to the Emperor Kicbolas , and bis j remarks ( said Mr . Taylor ) were followed by an untx- ; tinguishabls burst of indignation , followed by yells of I
  
  execrations . The speaker , wishing to -oiKleeeive bis ' auditory , and to convince them that he did not allnde ; te tbeEmpexsr , said that such was sot bis intention . ; This drew down fresh and renewed execrations of horrors and jella . [ This meeting in Holboro appeared : to have been inoculated with the same hostile fseiing \ against theBuBsias Emperor , for they too indulged in . Execrations and yells against him , which were re-echoed : by tha crowds in the streets , and taken np again by ; itB aassmbly within 2 In conclusion , Ur . laylor asked i the meeting , wccM thby abelter the depopnlaUir o !< countries—the enemy of mankind ^—( no ! noi no !> i The confusion which arose from charges made from ' several parts of the Hall against the press for being sycophantic to the Russian aristocrat pnt a stop to the , proceedings for a long tima ilr . Taylor at length re- j sumed , and concluded a most eloquent speech amidst j the most unbounded applause .
  
  Mr . IiOVett , seconded the resolution . He "woold not occupy their time with , a loDg speech , bnt should coa-Sne himself to facts in order to ascertain whether the Emperor of Russia was worthy of English hospitality . Those fseta related to act « perpetrated by Russia against Poland , and for which the Emperor as Sovereign of that country ^ was accountable . Thonsands of chilflren were torn from tbe bosoms of their siethers and carried from Poland to Russia , and the goods , chattels , and estates of their parents confissated —( - O , the brute , " — " O the i monster " j . Two thousand Catholic Churches were ; taken from their rightful owners and converted into Greek chapels , while the tyrant Nicholas identified i himself with the &Ddhead—I » eneation of horror ) . The j inhabitants of Oshmuana and Lithuania , were massacred
  
  in their own churches —( cms of " horrid , horrid , " and j immense groaning > . All the printed worfca of Polish i literature were destroyed . In 1835—6 , six hundred ! Polish feEates were hurried to the camp cf 2 f iz sesensk ; and ^ handed over to the Bnssian soldiars , who gratified their brutal passions upon those innocent , virtuous , and ] helpless creatures . [ This statement had an electric ; Effect npon tfce audience , who were roused to the ' highest pitch of phrenzy by it ] At one period 6 OOC i Poles were transported , and were never afterwards i heard of —( 0 , 0 ) . All Polish sepulchral monuments ; and records were destroyed , and the Poles were deprived of their arma , with which they were in tbe habit of destroying the wolves . The result was , that the country was overrun by these wild beasts , who in 1838 devonred eishteen children—( cries of " murder , murder " j . In 1838 , upwards of 50 , OCO Polish peasants

  Mr . Eyaxs , a grey-headed old gentleman , came forward and said a few words in favour of the resolution . Tbe resolution was carried unanimously . - Sir . Nohthouse came forward to propose the third resolution , as follows : — " That this meeting , deeply sympathising with the cause of Poland , looks forward to the progress of knowledge and the triumph of democracy over despotism , for reinstating that country as an independent nation , having institutions founded npon eqnal political and social riiihU . "
  
  Mr . Nokthocsh alluded to the letter of the Marquis of Northampton , in which his Lordsbtp eulogised the Emperor as the friend of science aud tho encourager cf Englishmen of talent in his dominions . This assertion of the Noble Marqois fee denied . Qaite tbe contrary wsb the fact . Englishmen were not telcrated in Russia—( hear , hear ) . Some time ago two Englishmen erected , at great expense , large works for the purpose of supplying Petersburg with frej > h water . They commenced ths work under tbe nuthority of tha Governor , and ifc was built according to an approved plan , yet , when tbe works were finished , orders arrived from the Governor prohibiting their being pnt in
  
  operation . The proprietors Inquired why such an order had been issued , especially as the works bad been built according to a plan approved of by the Governor . Bafc thtt only txplannlion given waa a second and a peremptory order net to proceed with them—( uh , ob!)—snd fit tii § ht 200 rufifcn fire-brigade men were dispatched to tbe spot , to kvel the works tf > the ground , which they did—( groans and hisses ) . Why waB that done ? Because a relative of tbe Governor fuund that tbe speculation would be a profitable one , and therefore asked and obtained it for himself—{ groans ) . In Russia there Wfcs no trial by jury—no representation of the people in Parliament—no law but the law of force and
  
  violenceibear , bear ) . It was nonsense to speak of Nicholas bb the patron of science , whose despotic edicts closed the TJcivtrsitJesof Poland , abolished her schools , forbade her language , destroyed her religion ; and whose mandates were enforced with tha knout , banishment , or death—Ibear , hear , groans and hisses , and crlea of " monster" ) 1 Mr . Joiln O'Bkiejj seconded the resolntion , in doing which be said the fl me of liberty in tha United Ktngdem was too strong to be put ent by tyrants , and aithengh Daniel O'Connell and his brother martyrs were imprisoned , he did not thiuk Nicholas wonld visit the city of Dnblin , or the beautiful lakes of Killsrney—( a voice , " O that we hsd him down in Tipperary . '" — cheers aud laughter ) .
  
  Mr . Clcbb supported the resolution . He would ask who had dared to invite tbe Emperor ?—who bad dared to invite tbe murderer ? Tbe base hireling press one day denounced a tLnele murderer , and the next asked tht > peopie—the virtuous , intelligent , honest English not to icsult tbje Emperor-murderer by holding a meeting of this kind . HU resolution said something about democracy ; he would much rather it said Chartism—Igreat cheering ) . Ha thought some of tbe press would bear thnr airathtmas to tbe world : if none others did , Punch and the Northern Star would—{ great cheering ) . > lr . Mitchell « aid it was not the reporters who were to blame , bnfcthe editors , who had written leaders such as had recently appeared on this
  
  subject-Mr . Couktsei wished to state & fact . When the Emperor arrived at tbe PaJdington tetminu * of the Grest Western Railway , tbe inspector ordered the police to cheer , and they did cheer . He thought this would Recount for the applause with which it was stated the Emperor was greeted—( immense laughter , with a cry of " a groan for the bluebottles , * which waa responded to most heartily ) . Tbe resolntion was unanimously carried . Mr . Lot £ Tt read an address from the PeleB at Brussels to tbs people of England , which was very voluminous . It rtiterated the history of the sufferings of the brave Poles , and appealed to British generosity in their behalf . The address attributed the downfal of Poland to txeactiery , and wsb full of gratitnde for tbe reception and protection afforded its exiles by Great Britain . Mr . SaTaGE came forward to move tbe fourth resolution : —
  
  " Tha ' , this meeting honour the memories of Simon Kararski and tbe brave band of Polish martyrs , who in seeking to achieve the emancipation of their country were cruelly tortured and matsacrtd , through the Imperial mandate of Nicholas , the present visitor to tbe Court of St . James . " He hoped while they denounced tbe tyrant of BusBia they wonld not forget the tyrant * at home—( loud cheers ) . Mr . Cltjeb seconded the motion , and recommended th . 3 m to pay more attention to politics and leas to tbe pothouse—( cheers ) . The resolution was carried unanimously .
  
  A vote of thanks was given to the chairman , after which several rounds of groans and yells were given for Nicholas , followed by astounding cheers for Poland . The meeting then separated in the most orderly manner . Asotheb MESTIUg . —Some hundreds of thcxe who could not obtain admission to the above meeting , adjourned to tbe Assembly Room , Theobald *« -road , which tbey filled to overflowing . Tbe meeting was addressed by Captain Atcherley , Mr . Cowan and several other speakers , and -was as rmaD ^ moas and enthusiastic in its denunciations of tbe tyrant Nicholas , &a the meeting in tbe Netional Hall .

  injustice of his proceedings immediately affected fain ) so forcibly , that before the whole line he threw himself into the armB of the veteran and wept like a child on his bosom , and aBfced tils forgiveness in the strongest expression of contrition , and he fioaUy atoned for the injury by procuring the soldier a commission . The conduct of hl » brother ( Nicholas ) was contracted with this on a similar occasion . He had reason to be displeased with a man ' s whlskew in the ranks ; he immediately gezad one of them and never let go his graBp until he tore it from Wb cheek with the flsah attached to it , and it was added , never expressed the smallest concern , or made the slightest reparation , but rather applauded himself for his strict attentifln to discipline .

Red-hot copper caps were put upon their beads , which , on being removed , carried off the scalp ; ted-hot balls were applied to tbe temples till the eyes started from their sockets ; their feet were held before tke fire till the fl' . ab . was burned off , and other cruelties were practised upon them , too shocking to be related . VVa understand that tbe Pacha thus refined upon his usual cruelties , from a desire to plmse Vie government of which tbe murdered merchant was a Eubjoct . "
  
  The Governor of Trebzind has , evidently , a fine knowledge of tbe various pleasures of various Governments . England , Franco , and others might have been satisfied with tbe mere death of the murderers of any of their merchants ; but not so Russia . 0 , no ! To " please" the social appetite of Nicholas , it is necessary to cocker it with tbe scalps of murderers , taken from their living headB by red-hot copper caps . Even rt tbe banquet of tbe Great Fiend , Nicholas might—after this—show himself an epicura , hinting at tit-bits of human agony , unthought , of , aye , by Moloch himself .
  
  THE " HANDSOME MONSTER . An immense deal of fudge has gone the round of the base daily press relative to the personal appear * anoejof the wholesale murderer , Nicholas . The lideat oreature" is described by the snivelling press-gang as quite " a beauty , " —*' the handsomest man in Europe 1 " The following from our illustrious friend Punch showB something like rationality on this Bubj-. cfc : — Yon must not be inveigled Into a foolish admiration on account or his Imperial Majesty's qualities . He is vc ? ry tall , bntthe Horse-Guards are as big ; yerj handsome , but Widdiconibe is as good-looking ; very athletic , but can be do as much as Mr . Risloy or bis little boy ? He can ride very well , but we offer to back the Marquis of WaVrford against bimj : very slim , but he wears stays ; he is very broad-chested , but he pads enormously .
  
  TOASTS AND SENTIMENTS FOE THE EMPEROR OF RUSSIAHear all men . ' Nicholas , Emperor of Russia , has come over to visit tbe Queen . Of course some of the distinguished readers of Punch will ask him to dine with them . Oa the occasion of a grand dinner , it is usual to propose toasts and sentiments . It is not every kind of toast and sentiment that absolute monaicbs approve of ; Punch , therefore , as a boon to the different Noblemen and Prelates who may take him in , and who may happen to have the Emperor for a guest , baa cut and dried tbe following , which , he hopes , will suit the taste of bis Majesty t—
  
  " Universal Despotism . " 11 Persecution , Intolerance , and Civil and Religious Bondage all ovot the World . " " Slavish Fear , tbe sole source of Obedience . " " Tbe Will of the Autocrat , the Fountain of legitimate Authority . " " Thraldom of Speech and Opinion . " «< Servitude of the Press . ' 11 Slavery of Conscienca " " Arrest of Civilization and Retrogression of Humanity . " The Perpetuity of Serfdom . " " The King of Prussia , and all Abettors of Tyranny . " " Don Miguel , and his speedy Restoration . ''
  
  •• Tbe Djwnfal of tbe Greek Constitution . " " Tbe Extermination of the Poles . " 11 Woe to tbe Children of Israel . " " Long Life and Misery to tbe Exiles of Siberia . " " Severity in the Judg » , and Inhumanity in the Gaoler . " " The immortal Memory © f Nero . " "Jtnngeon ' Extension . " " The Kuout "—which last toast is to be coupled with" The L " . flies ; may those of Russia never want a Lash , nor an Executioner to wield it " And " May " the Man who flogged the Daughters of Poland , never be forgotten .

  Byron ' s Statue . —A case of an extraordinary nature ^ uud iu which tho names of two of the greatest characters of the age will figure , is about to be broHght before the London tribunals . Thorwaldten , as it is well kaown , had executed a colossal statue of Lord Byron , which he considered as one of his best works , and presented it to tho chapter of Westminster on condition of its being placed in the cathedral , beside the monuments of other poets . The cnapkr , at first , accepted tbe offer ; but , it is equally well known , thai some scruples were raised afterwards against placing the author of Don Juan ia this national mausoleum ; and the case containing tho precious marble was never claimed by the chapter . The testamentary executor of Thorwaldsen being informed of , tbis state of things , made some inquiries , aud the master-piece ofThorwaldsen was found lyingon the floor of acellat in a state of extreme deteriora which
  
  tion , amongst the fragments of the case , the humidity ol the place had reduced to a state of perfect rottenness . Consequently , a person duly authorised by the executor , addressed a formal reclamation to the authorities * bus whoa the . Custom-house officers went with him to the cellar , it was found that tbe ¦ tatuebad disappeared * and nothing bat fragments of the case remained behind ., The executors than addressed to tho Custom-house a , demand for indemnity .

  CE . TJEI . T 1 ES OP IBS . MISCREAKT KICUOLAS . " Macy instances are given , since the accession of the present Emperor , of hit unforgiving spirit , which even tbe oompletest triumph over his enemies does not apparently disarm ; witness his treatment of those of the conspirators who disturbed the commencement of bid reign , and who were Banished to Siberia—to whose condition , though years have elapsed , no alleviation has been allowed . This continuing to make the condemned Enfisr , where his sufferings can be no example , shows at least a vindictive severity . Towards the Pole * also , his conduct , always harsh , has been in some instances painfully severe . These , as well as all political offenders , who are classed with assassins , have been carefully excluded from tbe amnesties -which on several important occasions have extended a pardon to felons .
  
  " Under all circumstances , after the subjugation of Poland , a generous disposition might have contented itself with treating her according to the stern laws of conquest ; not as Nicholas has done , according to the sanguinary code which established authority arrogates to itcolf the right of applying to rebellion . For this "was scaTceiy a rebellion crashed , but a country reconquered . Regular armies fought regular armies , according to all tbe usages of international warfare ; prisoners ef war were made , and communications epeued betweeD the chiefs of the contending armies . Tbe Emperor himself received the delegates of hia adversaries . When , however , he proved the strongest in the struggle , and the vrai vras over , those prisoners -who had fought as brave men in the field , who , not submitting to a master , had surrendered on the faith of an exchange , and , eoanting on a reciprocity of
  
  treatment , vreia , against their vows and wishes , made to Sutjo their enemy , and drafted into condemned corps , where tb&y were required to take tbe oath of allegiance to tbe Emperor . Their condition in these particulars would of iUelf have been little preferable to that of British convicts ; but their persecutor was not content with the misery of a hopeless servitude—a perpetual exile—thus icflieted on them ; they were left the option between takir ^ i sn oath against their conscience , which ¦ would render thssi participators is their own degradation , or the iiioet foarfal corporal sufferings . Oa refusing to take the oath , tbey wtte condemned to receive a number of lubes which alone would have been a fearful punishment for any offVnce ; but still persisting a * they did , one victim after another , each as resolute * fter as before his martyrdom—as determined in his refusal when he had seen his comrade expire under the Ja&h as when first called out—was it not an unheard-of
  
  barbarity to renew this torture at every fresh refusal , till death placed them beyond tbe power of human cruelty ? "This is no exaggerated picture , no overstrained account of an occurrence which took place far in the interior ; it is the plain narrative of what occurred on the termination of the Polish war . in tbe town of Constant , not twenty miles from St . Petersburg , and precisely the point which holds moat uninterrupted communication ¦ with western Europe . Several hundred Polish prisoners , employed in working at the fortrHcations , wers required , and almost unanimsusly refused ,
  
  to take tbe o » th- They v » ere then made rocceBsively ' to ran the gawttleij but still in almost every instance they persisted in their refusal , with a resolution worthy of admiration in anr cause .
