THE NEWS FROM ENGLA \ D.-Thc
Washington Union, as the organ of the admins
tration takes great credit TO it, for the poaceoble
no VS. from England, and intma,es tina. i, 10 all
tho rcsul. of Mr.. Folks policy
| Tho repeal Of the English corn laws gives the
Union, as tho opponent Of the protection of our
domestic industry, much pleasure; and ii halls
the movement in England as a forcrunner to tho
repeal or modification Of our tariff Il says:
/ :" We do no. hesitate to express our conviction
that if legislation III this liberal spirit towards us
shall be carried out in good faith. it will be met
en- part by nod fl cat ION OF our
tariff syste m, conceived IN spirit OF
corresponding liberaiiy.'
! II remains to be socn, whether American
/. Congress will undertake to sacrifice tho industry
Of country to propitlato British interests, and
to subscryc the designs Of Eri.isE, IanaCsctur-
/ cTs.
The National Intelligence noticing the news,
says:
s.1ho most curious item of ntcllis CONGO by this
arrival is the unprecedented compliment paid by
the House of Lords to Mr.. Secretary Walker S
Annual Treasury Report, recommending tho re-
peal of protective Tariff, which was ordered
by thoir Lordships to DO printed for tho use of
the House. 1t is, indeed, not improbable that
the Free Trade propositions of Secretary ac-
tolerated, if they did not prompt, the kindred
measure in England of total repeal of tho corn
laws

TRAGIC ROMANCE IN REAL LrFE.-A young
woman named Hoover, Says tho Winchester
Nirginian,) arrived in our town, by the cars on
Saturday week last, and from her needy circum-
stances, claimed and received the aid of so me be-
nevoont citizens. With her. was an elderly Ia
Gy. her friend, who accompanied her from La
fayet,e, Ohio. On ,he, way from Wheeling to
Cumber land, the stage IN which they were,
upset in crossing creek. and small bnsket
containing some clothing and all the money they
had, was swept down the stream. The morning
after her arrival, the young lady hurried TO
Cedar Creek. in this county, anxious 10 see her
parents. who had left her seven years ago in the
family of friend, being compelled themselves
by sickness 10 leave Ohio and return to Virginia
IN pursuit of health. Her disappointment may
be conceived: when she found, on roaching her
home, that her father, anxious about her return,
having collected his little does and sold somo of
his property, had Just started to the West. Blu.
deeper grief awaits her still. A letter received
by our postmaster, communicates the sad tidin1s
that her affectionatc parent on his return home,
On foot. was shot by a man named Martin, who
threw himself into his company under the guisa
of friendship and murdered him for his little mo-
ncy. The letter enclosed part of the Old mans
shroud. The murderer arrested. Imagina-
ton could hardly weave more tragic tale.
