Polish Literary Associations have been formed in various parfs of
the kingdom ; and one of them, at Hull, has commenced an in- teresting and intelligent journal devoted to the subject of unhappy Poland, called the Polish Record.
The sympathy thus exhibited in quarters remote from the cen- tre of information, in behalf of a distant and unfortunate country, is not merely honourable to the humanity of England, but indica- tiye of the rapid strides which knowledge and civilization are
making among us. Under the name of Poland, it is freedom and bravery which are worshipped. To be interested in the cause of freedom and bravery, is not uncommon with our countrymen; but to feel it intimately, in spite of difference of language and distance of place, and exhibit it through the medium of literature, is - a new and most satisfactory proof of the progress of enlightenment.
