POLAND.
Paris, May s. Gen. Skrznocki has issued a
proclamation to his countrymen, in which he
says, that although at the commencement Of
the campaign Poland had but an i'll organized
army OF 30,O0O men, they have, by series Of
successful efforts, put nearly $4,000 Russians
hors du CONDUIT, of which 10000 are now pris-
oners in Warsaw, and captured Is or 10000
muskets, and so pieces Of cannon.
WdTSao, ApriL 26. We learn that Gen
Dwernlckl has completely beaten the Russians

REMARKABLE EFFECT OF LIaHTEISa. On
Monday, the Goth ult., the house of Richard
Whitney in WinehendOn, was struck with
lightning, and the chimney, being the only one
in a house partly three stories high, and unit
ing ten fire places, was rent from top TO bottom,
and scattered INTO every room in the house
The lightning also branched out, and run in all
directions and into almost all parts Of the house
The family present consisted of seven-two

dren. Most of them were partly stunned by
the shock, but none materially injured, except
Mrs. w. who was found some minutes after
ward buried in the rubbish from the chimney,
and was taken up apparently dead. She was
carried out doors, and long exertIons used for
her recovery before any signs of life appeared
except one gasp. She at length showed symp-
toms Of lfo and in a few hours was restored to
her reason. The hair on one side of her head
was scorched and the color changed, and red
streak was discovered reaching from her head

SHOCKING DIsAsrER-SrEAM EXPLOSION
The steam boat Gen Jackson, Capt. Van Wart,
which runs daily between Peekskill and New
York, was on Tuesday afternoon, 9Th inst be-
tween3 and o'clock, destroyed by the burst
ing of her boiler. Seven or eight persons we're
instantly killed two or three other individu-
ais, including the engineer, were severely if not
fatally injured and twelve or fifteen others
more or less scaded or bruised At the mo.
ment of the accident, the boat was lying at a
landing place near Grassy Point dock, about 50
miles from New York. Capt. " and few of
the passengers were on shore, attending 10 the
delivery of freight, &c-but some thirty or
forty persons were on board-among them sew
eral females. All the latter, it is said, escaped
injury. The explosion of the boiler, which was
of iron, is represented to have been tremendous,
and to have caused SO much injury to the bows
and bottom of the boat, as TO occasion her sink
ing within fifteen or twenty minutes. The
boiler was torn from its place, and precipitated
into the river-.N y. ESGning Journal.

ANOTHER TREASURY RAT! The Kentucky
Reporter asserts that the Hon. Chttenden Ly.
on, the member of Congress from the southern
district OF that State, has drawn from the pub
lie treasury about one thousand dollars for mile
age, more than he was entitled to by Jaw. This
Is proper Item to 60 under the head of Jack
son Retrenchnent. There are not few such
Items in these days of reform.
The distance from Lyon place of residence
to the city of Washington, " By The most usual
road, (the legal phrase) is stated to be not
more than 500 miles. He would therefore be
entitled to receive $64O mileage, for going and
returning. But this Kentucky disciple Of Re-
form estimated the distance at 1l45 miles, and
received from the treasury on this estimate
nine hundred and taoeLce dollars for mileage
Mr. Lyon, when accused of this over charge,
attempted to justify it on the principle that "he
most usual ROAD" now travelled was the ricer
IN a steam boat and that computing the wind
ings of the Ohio and the Cumberland rivers
from his residence to Wheeling, the distance
could not be less than he estimated it. This,
the reader will no doubt think a tolerab!e sam
pie of modern a" retrenchment and REFORM"
