{. Chutterbuck and Miss Frances d. Bennett
One Of the party seized Miss B., threw her over
his shoulder, and carried her 5utb bf the house, s
choking her at the same time, to prevent her
cries Of murder being heard; aId the others j
grasped the young man, dragged him out acrne
forty or fifty rods, stripped off a part of. his 8
clothing, daubed him with black paint, atruck
and best him severely, and left him upon the
ground bleeding, faint and disabled. Ghuttar- J
buck was the lady lover, and the young men,
all Of whom have been arrested looked With
the green eye Of jealousy en- their proceedings.
Under date Of the 9Th the Washington oorres-. y
pondent Of the Baltimore Sum writes: ssas 81 81
The British Parliament will mbet on the 18th
Of the present month, and the Presidents mas-
sage will reach the other side in time to be di-
gested by Lord Palmerston and lord Clarendon
before they shall be called mp bJ that body for ii
an exposition Of their policy in relation to the
pending difficulties with the United States. The
timely apprisaI of the British government and
of Parliament Of the views Of The United States
government on these subjects was very polite
but it was not quite 50 politic I'd accompany the
promulgation Of the message with an ayoWa1 Of
this purpose. There is John BRlliam enough in
Parliament to take offence at anything that may
appear to be q menace. &s ~ ss3s.
But we have already some limitations in re-
gard to dispatches from MIR. Buchanan, received
since the message was prepared, which exhibis
the British government in q very decided 4atti-
tude upon some of these matters. If this be
so, there will SOON be an occasion for another
message, and as the House Willlot be organized,
ii may be communicated to tie Senate alone,
either in its Legislative or executive capacity.
GREAT sroRM ~ SOUTH clnoEzsa.--A dis
patch Of the 10th from Washington says .S
i Al portion Of the southern mail was received
this morning. a letter from the agent Of the
! Associated Press at Columbid, dated January
d 5, says the greatest storm ofaleet ever known
/ IN this region occurred here last night. The
rain froze as fast as it fell, and to-day every
thing out of doors is cased in ice half an inch
thick. The trees have suffered severely, and
the streets present the appearance of 8 vast
" brush heap The destruction Of fruit trees
is immense. a5ss5
u The telegraph wires have suffered severely,
and it is probable weeks will be consumed in
making repairs before operations can be resum-
ed, Fully third of the Line on the Camden
railroad is lying on the ground, and in some
cases even the poles are down In the country
the falling Of trees will doubtless cause further
injury Great damage has blso been done to
the Southern Line by the recent inundations in
lower Georgia. In Alabama the waters are
stilA so A4Su as W pEefent AegSS6SFy fSpGlT5 pe-
ing made. 80
| AN ALLIED FLEET FOR SAH JUAN.--Our last
sdvioes from Havana state that number Of
English and French vessels of war would shortly
rendezvous at the port Of San J Juan. A private
letter from Havana contains the eurmise that
important news may soon arrive from that quar-
ter 1t can hardly be that either England or
France contemplates d hostile occupation of
San Juan and the adjoining territory, but it is
not improbable that an effort may be made to
prevent the influx of emigrants from the United
States to Nicaragua Still there is no telling
what bold stroke Of policy PAlmerston and his
| French adviser are about to- make in Central
America. IN. Y. Sun. "

New York, a portion Of The distance having
been accomplished under canvass Her con-
sumption of coal having been reduced to eighteen
tons per twenty five hours, with which an ave-
rage speed of seven knots per hour was main
tanned at sea. This is remarkable for war

argument for an increase IN this branch of the
