ago occurred the massacre ofWarsaw, where
the streets ran with the blood Of the Poles
struggling for freedom, whilst our ancestors
looked on with an eye Of pity, but with hands
bound to their sides by European policy
All the London journalists, however, do not
entertain such gloomy anticipations, nor do
we see that there 10 ground for them. The
loss of 1000 men, and two skilful generals,
is one that must be seriously felt, but, we
trust, not fatally. AZ for the retreat, that

ing paper Of the 9th, says Of the intelligence
Of the retreat Of the Poles, that it had by no
means led it to entertain gloomy views ms to
their ultimate prospects. "They have not
succeeded in their object, but the Russians
have gained nothing by the battle.--The
Poles have once more retreated to their
strong position and the Russians have to
struggle with the difficulties Of maintaining
themselves in country already wasted by
them"
With regard to Belgian affairs, Prince
Leopold had been elected King of the Bel
gians, by vote Of l52 out of 1876, on condit-
ion Of his accepting the Constitution as de-
creed by the National Congress, and swear.
ing to preserve it and the laws, and to main
tain the national independence and the in
tegrity Of the territory I; and that the Great
Powers with the concurrence Of Leopold,
have refused assent. The ground ofthis re.
fusal is, that the conditions require Prince
Leopold to maintain the claim ofthe Belgians
to certain points of territory which the Great
Powers say shall not be ceded.
The English news brought by this arrival
is of no political interest. In Wales there
had been riotous proceedings of a very seri.
Gus character, among the operatives Of the
Iron manufactures. In Glanorganshire
there was on the Sd June, great turn-o
for wages among the workmen. The militia
ry were called out, but the rioters being the
most numerous, assailed them with stones
and other missiles, which provoked fire
from the troops, by which fourteen persons,
! I men, and 3 females, were killed. This
proceeding, instead Of queling the workmen,
melted them TO further and more serious riots.
They seized several stands of arms and some
pieces of cannon, and at the latest dates were
still in q be!ligerent attitude. Cores Liver
pool Advertiser Of the 9th says: "Thc ac-
counts from the disturbed districts in Wales
are very gloomy. We have not seen any
letters but il 10 said that sixteen Of the rioters
had been killed, and a considerable number
wounded. The soldiers had suffered very

states that in the County Of Mayo, there are
not fewer than 10000 persons, men, women
and children, in state Of actual starvation.
Armed parties of insurgents are traversing
various parts ofthe country committing great
outrages. The extracts under the Irish head
in the London papers give dark picture Of
the condition Of things in that portion OF the
kingdom.

Fatal Mnrriage-A melancholy in
stance of an unfortunate marriage was
developed OH the trial of Murry, the per-
son tried for participating in the bank
robbery. A most interesting looking fe-
male, aged about lS years, possessing
finely formed countenance, clear COM
plexion, dark brown hair, and in very
delicate situation, was examined as
witness. 1t seems the young lady re-
sided with her mother, who keeps re-
spectacle tavern and boarding house in
Philadelphia. Some time last winter a
Young fellow named Simpson commence
ed visiting, and subsequently boarding,
at her mothers house, and there insinu-
ated himself into the girls affections.
At the same time, Murry was accustom-
ed to visit Simpson, and as the two per-
sons appeared to have a great plenty of
money, the young woman imagining that
her visions of happiness would all be re-
allied, consented to private marriage,
and an elopement to this city in January,
where she was placed in Murry's house,
and soon become acquainted, through
her husband and Murry, with Smiths
family. In the month Of February,
Simpson was arrested, convicted ofpick-
ing gentleman's pocket, and sent to
the State Prison.
Thus has this interesting young wo-
man, by precipitate marriage had her
prospects Of happiness destroyed, herself
into an association with depraved
characters. and united in marriage with
