Letters from Warsaw, to the 29th of Au'ust,
state that town to be in a most deplorable situation, as well as
tLe enviro is. Persons cannot proceed in the country with-
out being robbed and ill-treated by the Russian soldiers. Re-
cently a Pole of distinction, going to the country with his
wife anti daughter, was attacked by some of the cavalry of
Vie guard of Paskewitsch, which were cantoned in the
n-ighhourbood. They tore the ear-rings with their mouths
from the two ladies, and committed the greatest outrages,
when M. Zablowski, the husband, caught hold of one of their
poignards, and by his energy caused them to retreat. He re-
turned in haste to Warsaw with his family, and presented him-
self to Paskewitsch, but did not receive any satisfaction to
his family.
A commercial gentleman from Manchester, named
George M6Kinnell, with his wife, came to the Cross Inn, on
their way into Devonshire, on Saturday last; they intended
sleep:ng there, and had some ten. Mr. M'Kinnell was sitting
on the sofa, when he suddenly fell back and expired. He was
a fine hea!thy looking man, about 33. His wife has bnn in a
state of frenzy since her sad loss. An inquest was held, and a
verdict returned that he died by the visitation of God from an
affection of the heart.—Gloucester Journal.

Wednesday afternoon, in St. Paul's Churchyard, two
omnibuses, one belonging to the Conveyance Company and
one to Brett, of Paddington, were racing against one another,
the drivers wh;pping their horses most unmercifully. A gen-
tleman residing at Brentwood, who was in a light gig driving
towards Watling-street, perceiving the tremendous rate at
which the omnibuses were coming, drove on the foot-pavement
adjoining the school to make room for them, but before he
could get clear of the road one of the vehicles struck the off-
wheel with such force that it instantly capsized the gig, and
threw the driver on to the pavement, severely injuring him on
his head. The horse was thrown down, and the gig broken
to pieces. Unfortunately the omnibuses, owing to the great
rate at which they went, could not be got at.
THE BITER BIT.—A man, in the dress of a
workman, was lately walking in the streets of Berlin, with a
packet in his hand, sealed with five seals, and inscribed with
an address, and a note that it contained 100 thalers in trea-
sury bills. As the bearer appeared to be at a loss, he was ac-
costed by a passenger, who asked him whom he was looking
for. The simple countryman placed the packet in the in-
quirer's hands, and requested he would read the address. The
reply was made as if with an agreeable surprise, " Why I this
letter is for me. I have been expecting it a long while I"
The messenger upon this demanded 10 thalers for the carriage
of the packet, which was readily paid, with a liberal addition

A TRULY GOOD WIFE.—The clerk of a merchant
living in the Rue du Sentier went, a few days ago, to receive
some money for his master, and was returning with it, when
he met with an old acquaintance from the country. For the
sake of " auld lang syne" therefore they adjourned to a wine
shop, where they drank pottle deep. Our clerk, finding him-
self not a little bewildered:in his upper story as he attempted to

certainly be robbed. Some passers-by, whom her distress
had induced to surround her, recommended her to take the
money,e nnt ao ta ieo, n
and leave her husband to sleep till he was
sober. The
advice was promptly taken, and the careful wife walked off
with all that the pockets of the sleeper contained, including

his watch. The fumes of the wine becoming a little dissipated,
our worthy clerk awoke, and, on finding his pockets empty,
was informed by a neighbouring shopkeeper, in terms of con-
solation, that all was safe in the hands of his wife. "In the
hands of my wife I" exclaimed the man ; " why, I am not mar-
ried." " Then you are robbed," coolly retorted his informant,
and the poor fellow returned home, meditating on the corrup-
tion of human nature.
