POLAND.

The Cuts of August 8 publishes the following
report of Colonel Kruk, " commander of all the
Polish forces in Pallachia and Lublin :"

Upon the 11th ult. the divisions of Jankowski and Zie-
linski, about 330 sharpshooters and 400 scytheruen, united
with the division of Krysinski, 220 sharpshooters and 180
scythemeo strong, in the vicinity of Slawatycze, and esta-
blished their camp in the following order. The division of
Krysinaki took post at Sajowks, and those of Zielinski and
Jankowski in the forest between Sejowks, Janowira,
and Romanow. At 10 a.m. the insurgents were
apprised of the advance egainst them from Ito-
mauow of a column consisting of six companies of
infantry with two guns, a iwtma of Gorecki, and a
squadron of Uhler. Colonel Krysioeki placed the divi-
sions of Zielinski and Jankowski in two lines, upon each
side of the road leading from Sejowka to Romanow, falling
with his own division upon the rear and left wing of the
Russians attacking his comrade,. His horse, about fifty in
number, charged the right wing of the enemy. This en-
gagement, one of the most important that have occurred in
Podlschia, would have resulted in a more complete victory
to the Mee bed Jankowela's and Zielinski's divisions been
able to stietain the hostile fire until Colonel Kry-
einski was able to assail the Russian right
wing and rear with energy. In the mean time
the Russians attempted to outflank Zielinski, which being
perceived by Krysinski, was frustrated by his throwing him-
self in their way, and forcing them to retreat. Jankowski
and Zielinski thus gained time to re-form. A charge of the
rifle company led by Kryainski in person against the left
wing of the enemy, and au attack of Citizen Bardet upon
the Russian right wing and rear, threw them into
disorder. Their confusion was completed when the scythe-
men, rushing on with the shout of "Jesus Maria:"
broke the hostile centre, and scattered the enemy in
all directions; 176 Russians were left upon the
field ; 41 of their wounded were relinquished in
Slawatycze ; they carried off 76; and 30 fell into
our bands. We also took 20 muskets, 4,000 cartridges, and
80 pouches. We owe this victory mainly to the courage of
our acythemon, and the honours of the day belong to
Colonel Krysinski. Upon the Russian side 16 officers, one
lieutenant-colonel, and one tu.,jur were among the killed ;
while we purchased our triumph with the load of 61 dead
and 23 worded.

RECEPTION OM THE PRINCE AND PRINCESS OF
WALES AT AIICIWELDIE.—In describing the arrival of the
Prince of Princess of Wales at Atiergeidie, the Banffshire
Journal says :—" At the manse of Glenmuick, the Rev.
Mr. Middleton, in conjunction with Mr. J. T. Rennie, ship-
owner, Aberdeen, had erected a chute and effective arch,

having on one side the word ' Welcome,' and on the other
the Prince of Wales' star, with the letters 'A. A.' Ac-
tuated by • very proper and natural spirit, the tenantry on
the estates of Balmoral, Abergeldie, and Birkhall, bad made
arrengemente to meet their royal master and mistress at
Abergeldie Castle, and for this purpose bad fixed to fore-
gather there at six o'clock—an hour which, by the original
timing of the journey, would have enabled them with their
families to be on the lawn waiting. Unfortunately, the
wide area over which the estates spread prevented intelli-
gence being conveyed to the various farms and residences of
the alteration of proceedings -so that as the Prince and Prin-
cess alighted at Abergeldie fifteen minutes before six o'clock,
only a comparatively small number of the tenantry were
present. Their royal highnesses were welcomed to the
Castle by Dr. Robertson, the honoured commissioner of the
late lamented Prince Consort, who in return was greeted by
both the Prince and Princess in the most cordial manner.
By-and-by the tenants came hurrying to the appointed
place of meeting. In the course of the evening refresh-
ments weas served ' • and while the whole body were eniny-
log themselves the Prince and Prince= graciously came out
and walked for some time in the immeduste vicinity of the
spurt. Shortly, • piper was set to work, a dance—wit-
nessed hem the Castle by their royal highnesses—was
struck up; sod, as night ciceed, Mr. John Begg, of the
famed ` Lochnagar Distillery,' varied the pleasure by
treating his brother tenants and their wives and daughters
to a display of fireworks. And so io this simple, homely
fashion, the richly dowered Prince of Wales and his fair
Princess were welcomed to their `Highland Home' in tbe
old turreted Credo of Abergeldie."
THE LATE VISIT OF PRISVE ARTHUR TO SHREWS-
BURY. —On Thursday evening last our old town was sur-
prised by the unexpected visit of royalty. The young Prince
Arthur, who had been touring in Wales, arrived here
by train, accompanied by Major Elphiastooe acid his
tutor, the Rev. W. Jolly, and at once repaired to the
Haven Hotel, where rooms had already been prepared
fur him. On the name evening the Prince, attended by
Major Elphinstoue and the Rev. W. Jolly, visited the shop
of Mr. J. 0. Sandford, bookseller, Highatreet. He par-
chased • variety of articles, and conversed with great
affability, his remarks evincing superior culture and in-
telligence. After the party left, Mr. Sandford, in order
facilitate their visite to places and objects of interest in
the town and neighbourhood, forwarded for the Prince's
acceptance a copy of the •• Hand-book of Shrewsbury." Its
receipt was acknowledged in the following note The
Raven, Shrewsbury, Gth Auluat, 18G3. Major Elphinstone
is requested to return herewith the Handbook for Shrews-
bury which Mr. Sandford wishes to present to his Royal
Highness Prince Arthur. and regreta to state that the same
cannot be accepted, as the very great number of similar
offerings has rendered necessary the establishment of an in-
variable rule that his Royal Hi;:huess should receive no
presents of any kind. As this handbook appears to be re-
malleably well brought out, his Royal Highness never-
theless wishes to purehase • copy o the same, as well
se • copy of the 'Guide to Cricouium.' " On Friday
morning his Royal Highness visited the Museum, where he
remained for • considerable time closely inspecting many
of the specimens, being particularly interested in the
curiosities which have been collected from Wroxeter, some
few of which he took away with him, leaving a half-
sovereign as a nominal payment. After leaving the
Museum the Prince visited the venerable Abbey Church,
where he was met by the vicar, the Rev. Philip Whit-
comb', who printed out the various object. of antiquarian
interest, as well as the important restorations which have
recently taken place. His Royal Highness was then con-
: ducted by the vicar to the garden opposite to see the stone
pulpit—that interesting relic which has always excited
the nest lively feelings or admiration among archreologista
The Prince expressed himself much pleased with what lie
bad seen, and, after cordially shaking bands with the
vicar, proceeded on his journey to Wroxeter to inspect the
remains of the far-tonic 4 Roman city of Urioonium, Bryan,
and afterwards returned to Shrewsbury. On the following
morning he started by the eight o'clock train for London.
The fait seemed to he but little known, for there were com-
paratively few people upon the platform. A guard of
honour, formed of the 17th Shropshire Rife., under com-
mand of Captain Salt and Ensign Townsend, were in
attendance. and presented arms us he passed to his carriage,
the hand at the same time playing the National Anthem.
As the train left the station fug signals were discharged,
and the people assembled testified their loyalty by hearty
cheers.—Siercrrebury Journal.

THE MURDER AND SUICIDE AT BETHNAL-
GREEN.

INQUEST ON THE BODIES.—(THIS DAY.)
This afternoon Mr. John Humphreys, the coroner
for Middlesex, opened an inquiry at Mr. Faun's, the Prince
of Wake Tavern, Bonneoroad, Bethnal. green, on the bodies
of the unfortunate woman and the murderer, and the in-
vestigation was proceeding when we went to press.
Mr. Rolob, the divisional medical officer of the district,
made an exannoatioa yesterday of the deceased woman's
body. It was in an emaciated condition, and it
seems th►t the hnsbend, only a few days before the
murder, bad relief from the board of guardians of the
pa-
rieh. There was still a loaf Is the cupboard, but the family
bad suffered considerable privations. The deceased man
had been at work for Mr. Rock, the proprietor of the Golden
Lion, by delivering bills for • small remuneration. The chief
support of the family was by the little work done by the loom.
There was a family of nine children, the youngest being
nineteen years of age. Several of them are married, but
three lived with the parents. The house where the murder
WAS committed is only a few yards distant from the brick-
field wherethe murderer Mullins deposited the parcel in the
shed adjoining the residence of Walter Emma. who was so
wickedly brought into trouble for the minder of Mrs.
&Imlay, about three years since, in the Grove-road, Stepney.
