q, A SERVANT MURDERs PRINCE AND BEARS
HIS TIrLH.--An extraordinary affair is related
in the Russian journals; Prince Nesvitzky
was some years ago murdered by his servant
who possessed himself of his papers and for
tune, and, assuming the name Of the prince,
travelled abroad for some years, living in good
style. Afterward returning, he married .
wealthy heiress named Sokolotf, and had by
her several children. Recently his impos-
ture was discovered, and be has been sent to
the mines of Siberia; but the Russian Cow
ernment has authorized the children and the
wife to continue to bear the name of Nez-
vitzky. This case Is similar to one which
occurred i'd France in the time of the Resto-
ration. An escaped convict named Cogniard
possessed himself ofthe family papers of Count
Points de Sainte-H Helene, and by means OF
them not only assumed bis name and title,
but caused himself to be presented at Court,
and actually succeeded in obtaining the grade
of .lieptenant-colonel in the army. He was,
however, after while, discovered, and sent
back TO the bagne.FWOH uUUE ZCl

A BELGRAvIAN PRINCE APPROACHING DIsso-
LuTIoN.-Prince Milosch, of Belgravia, is
approaching the end of his career. A cancer
has attacked his upper lip, and symptoms o,
dropsy have made their appearance. Within
the last few months several hundreds Of
leeches have been applied to the Prince, and
prevent Inflammation. The dropsy, which
has now supervened, will, it is thought, prove
fatal. For the last two days nobody has ap-
preached him but his son, and some people
believe that he is already dead, and that the
fact is concealed till measures can be taken
to secure the succession to Prince Michael.

A WOMAN DESPERATE ABOUT HER LOVER.
The Liverpool (Eng.) Albion says:

On Friday afternoon, when the roll of en-
igrants on board the Isaac Webb was being
called over, a. female was found on board
without ticket, and was placed in small
boat, to be conveyed TO the shore. She
pleaded earnestly to be allowed to go in the
ship to New York, whittier, she said, her
lad" had gone in the Drsadnoaght but her
entreaties were vain, and the boat proceeded
toward the shore. Suddenly the unwilling
passenger sprang from the seat and jumped
into the river, where she struggled for some
time, but was at length rescued and removed
to the receiving-house at the Princes Dock.
When sufficiently recovered, she said her
dear boy had left her in Belfast to 60 to
New York, and, as she couldn't live apart
from him, she came to Liverpool and went
on board the Isaac Webb, inithe hope that
she would be allowed to follow. She was
taken to the Main Bridewell, and sub
sequently removed to the work-house,
whence she win, no doubt, be sent back to
her own country. ....,,y.fis ...g-t --

rendered long and tedious from the encroach.
