From the New-York American.

iSuccor to the poies.--The following
letter, with its enclosure. has just been
received from General Lafayette;-
PARIS, March 30th. lS32-My dear
Sir have received your kind letter,
New-York, January, 1882, enclosing the
bill of 24S6f Gle. in the name Of the
Ncw-York Committee. This sum has
been delivered to the American Com
mittee in Paris. II is highly satisfacto-
ry for US that the appropriation We have
made has been so well employed as to
become mos; useful, gratifying, encour-
aging tn the gallant Poles. under the per.
secution to which they have been sub.
jecied, not only in Poland, but in Prus-
sin aud Austria, while on their reaching
the western part Of Germany they are
most cordially welcomed. You will
hear Of the arrest Of our excellent friend
DR.. Howe, in Berlin.--I hope he is now
released. His conduct in the manage.
ment Of our instructors, has been very
honorable to HIM, and the American
name. We are truly under great obli-
cations to DR.. Howe. The further sup
plies we may receive from the American
Committees will be most welcome and
usefully employed. Most truly aad af-
fectionately your friend. LAFAYETTE.

Distressing Cdse.-A female, who
gave her name Mary Cloz, was brough,
up this morning by watchmnn Vanbeck,
who stated that he hnd arrested her las,
night near the theatre, for her disorderly
conduct and blasphemoue Language. She
had just come out Of the theatre, IN COM
pany with young man, with whom she
was arm-in-arm, and, upon some un-
known provocatiOn, II quarrel ensued be-
tween them, she being in liquor, which
ended in her capture by tho watch.
When arrested, she was splendidly attir-
ed. her dress Of the most costly and fash
ionable order. literally hung With golden
chains and sparkling with jewels, and the
fingers of either hand tbickly studded
with rings. After arriving at The watch
house, disguise was brought her by the
young man with whom she first appear
ed, and IA friend or two. The change
consisted of a blue cnlash, and fine
brown cloth cloak. After the hearing
before his honor. this morping, she was
fined, and security required for her future
good behavior, at which her .paramour
gave his name. Upon enquiry, it was
ascertained that she arrived in this city
a few weeks since, from the east, in COM
pany with an affectionate husband, the
connexions of both being Of the first re-
spectabi'ity. He being obliged to travel
to the south, upon business, chose rather
to enjoy the company ofhis beautiful aud
seeming amiable aud virtuous wife, on
his journey, than leave her behind.--Up-
on arriving in PhIladel phia. she became
fascinated with its appearances, and,
though the young and favored wife Of an
atfectionate and indulgent husband, ex-
pressed desire to remain in the city un-
Ill his return from Baltimore, the place
of his destination. Unused to thwart her
wishes, 10 acquiesces, and securing a
home for her at the place they lodged, n
hotel Of the first responsibility, and trus-
ting to her fidelity, took passage for.Bal-
timore, and left her. Since when, her
fair fame has changed to one of foul and
tlack dishonOr, and she is now on the
high road to infamy and ruin.
She left the city for New-York to-day,
to avoid meeting with her injured part
