AMERICA. —The Africa arrived on Tuesday, bringing
with her tidings which certainly could not have been
expected. looking at what the recent news has been.
The despatches of the previous mail informed us that
Lee had placed the Rappahannook between himself and
the Federala, and that so far as hts movements were
known he was falling back upon Richmond. Suddenly,
however, while people were thinking he WY marching
southward, he seems to have once more thrown a portion
of his Infantry over the Rappahannock, that is to say,
the northern side of that stream, for on Saturday, the
17th alt., he is said to hays attacked and repubed
Gregg's cavalry and two brigades of Federal infantry,
with heavy loss, in • brief fight. After this exploit the
Confederates pressed on to Beaton Station, when they
once more attacked the Federal cavalry, and accent-
ing to one aceount repulsed them. Lee, it Is mid,
occupies a has extending from Beverley Ford (not on
the maps) towards Stafford Court Mouse. The object of
this movement, like that of every one of Logo move.
ments, was inexplicable to the Federal,. Braxg's force
at Chattanooga, according to renort, has been reinforced
by Longstreet's corps, and a hostile movement was being
made on the left of the Federal position at that place.
POLAIID.—The news from Poland exceeds in lap.
harity anything we have lately had to record. The
deportation to Siberia of the whole youthful population
of a district, many arrests for not signing an address ex.
pressive of devotd loyalty to the Czar, imprisonments,
and military murders—these are had enough : but, in
addition, we love two ladies, one crcelly dogged
' receiving, indeed, 260 lashes—for not betraying the
hiding-place of hr husband, and a second driven mad by
the sight of her only chili torn from her arms and
trampled to death before her eyes under the feet of the
Russian soldiery. These things are vouched for by •
truth telling correspondent.
JAPAN.—A f'aris letter informs us that the Japanese
have applied to the French Government to invite the
good °Mira of France in suspending naval operations in
Japan. This statement is completely at variance with
our notion, of the state of affairs in Japan. It cannot be
that the Prince of Satsuma, or the Prince of Nagota, are
meant. These potentates have offended wins{ Frsnos
almost as deeply as they have against this country. The
allusion, therefore, can only be to the Government of
the Tycoon, by whose special perutiesioa the naval
operations were performed. The Japanese Government,
being unable to compel the Prince at Satsuma to execute
justice on the murderers of Mr. Richardson, authorised
the English fleet to act for itself, and promised that •
Japanese ship should be sent to co-operate. On the
other hand, with reference to the ohastisentent of the
Prince of Magota, the Government anthorioxl European
vessels to Ore into any ship or fort which executed bus,
tilities without hoisting the Japanese daa The recent
operations in Japan, therefore, were authorieed and
approved by the Tycoon's Government ; and this renders
the statement of the oorrespoodeni inexplicable aad
apocryphal.

A DIBIUMBTABLZ 8000XDIVA —At the Thames
court on Thursday, James Goodwin, dporaibed se •
hawker, aged 26, was brought before Mr. Pa
charged with assaulting Mary Ann Goodwin. htill'et.
The complainant, a rather attractive girl of 19, add elm
had been married to the prisoner nearly ten weeks. Be-
fore their marriage she was in service in a very com-
fortable situation. Her husband "old trotters, which be
carried about in shaded to public-houses and beer-shops.
He represented to her that he had an Independent
fortune from his uncle, and that he only carried on the
trotter business to add to Ms income. As son as they
were married he said he had no income at all, sad that
sbe must go on the streets for a living. She explained
her reluctance to do anything of the kind, and and she
had always been a virtuous and liceest girl, and would
rather go back to domestic servitude. He made her go
out and pick up gentlemen the night after her marriage,
and had since frequently diesel her, and struck her,
and amused her of not striving hard eneerb to bring
home money, and with not setting of her face to
advantage. He also stopped outside the door while
she had gentlemen with her, and when they date
gone would take the money she received, and "wear
at her for not obtaining more. On those nigtais
when she brought home no money he accused
her of spending her earnings with her fellows In
concert-rooms, which was not true. She was not
acquainted with any man, and did not go to concerts,
On Wednesday night she did not reach home in Rupert-
street Whitechapel. until &quarter-past twelve o'eleek,
and all she ocuM deliver to her husband was 25., on
which he called her most dreadful names, struck her,
I and kicked her. She was determined not to pet up
with her husband's unkindness any longer, and west
out and stooped with her sister all night. She went to
her husband again that morning between the hours of
eight and nine .'clock, and he hit her on the fees and en
the body, and she screamed out, and • police-officer male
and took him away. Mr. Partridge.—Are you afraid
he will do you bodily harm? am indeed, sir.
—Police-mrjecint Barnes, an old officer, said be bad no
doubt of the truth of every word the girl staled.
Her family were very respectable. Before she married
the trotter man she was in the service of highly re-
spectable people in WhitechapeL He had seen her
there six or eight months. She complained to him
that morning of being assaulted, and he took the pri-
soner into custody. The language of the fellow was
meet disgusting, and his threats were awfuL —The pri-
soner. is • subdued and sanctified manner, said if his
wife would look over this, he would take to his baskei
again, and she could BO to her needlework, and they
might be very happy—Mr. Partridge.—Address as.,
sir. Wind defence have you to make ?—The prisoner,
in a whining tone, said this was very distressing.
Circumstances compelled his wife to do that which be
certainly ought not to have allowed her to do. She could
not get much needlework, and his brained* with the beaked
was had. He was sorry his wife was prej ud iced against him.
She knew it was for her comfort and his, too, that she
submitted to that which he knew was very wrong.
He was sorry, but it was so. The prisoner went on
with the most inconsistent observations, and created in-
tense disgust from every one in Court.—Mr. Partridge
said, during many rads' experience as • magistrate
the country and in the metropolis, he never heard • more
disgusting cam than this, and he never heard • more con-
temptible fellow than the prisoner. It was quite plain
that the prisoner found the girl respectable and virtuous
and in service, and induced her by false representatiodi
to give up a good situation and become his wife. It wee
also quite plain that the prisoner married her forth,
purpose of making money by sending her on the streets.
The prisoner was • vile man, a wretch ens/only de-
praying the name of a man. He should not be doing
his duty to the public if he did not carry out the
Act of Parliament which entrusted him with summary
powers to the fullest extent. He sentenced the
prisoner to be imprisoned in the House of Come-
tion, and kept to hard labour for six months. The
complainant was then celled into the witness's box,
and Mr. Partridge in an impressive manner, said—l
really cannot understand, young woman, how you came
to adopt his suggestion so readily, and go upon the
streets. You will be ruined, body and soul, if you do
Dot return to habits of honest industry. The com-
plainant. —I am not willing to go on the "trade. I never
was, air. Ah, it is horrible Mr. Partridge. —I bops
you will adopt "'different course. If you cannot main-
tain yourself, go to the parish for relief. The corn,
plainant.—l can maintain myself, sir, but not him.
NIIIIDR Or A Snip's CREW BY PIRATC/L —A
telegram, announcing the perpetration of • horrible
butchery in the China sees, was received at Liverpool!
on Monday from Sues, in anticipation of the India and
China mails. It appears that the Liverpool ship
Panama, Captain Johnson, while on the passage from
Hong Kong to Falmouth, had been captured by pirates
in the China seas; that the captain, OEMs, and crow
had been brutally murdered; and that the ship was
afterwards burned by the Chinese. Pending the arrival of
the mail we are at present without any further par-
ticulars of this fearful tragedy. The Panama was a new
vessel, and WU built for the Uverpool and China trade
in 1862. She was owned in Liverpool by Mr. Jobs
Malcolm, and was a very fine clipper vessel of 296 toss
register, and classed Al at Lloyd's for four years. The
Panama sailed on her first voyage to China on the 301 h
October. 1862, and arrived out safe. After loading al
Hong Kong she started on her homeward voyage to
Falmouth. where she was to call for orders. On beg
Pe down the China seas she was overhauled by
thearTe loodthirety *rates, with the melt stated above.
Some doubt existed on the receipt of the telegram.. to
the name of the ship Some said it mud be the
Parana, Captain Morrish, likewise from Hoag Son ;
but, on inquiry, we find that that weasel had twined at
Hamra on her homeward voyage, and bad afterwards
gelled for Europe, all well, which is conclusive evidense
that she is not the vessel destroyed.
