London society, and in fact all England, is
greatly excited about the extraordinary scan
dial in which the most venerable and renown-
ed British statesman, Lord Palmerston, is
charged with one of the gravest offences
against the moral code. The London Star
says the action for divorce in which the dis
tinguished peer is correspondent will shortly
be tried A correspondent of another British
paper says ''the divorce case in which Wis
count Palmerston is named as correspond

among legal and general circles for the past.

POLAND UNDER THE TYRANTs HEEL.
October 24th, one hundred and twenty of
the chief men OF Warsaw were arrested by
the Russian cOnquerors. majority of them
made acquaintance two years ago, with the
dungeons of the citadel, with Tobolsk and
other Asatic parts. Among them are Bialo-
br"ski, who closed the churches two years
ago, while acting as archbishop, and was sem
fenced for that order by court martial to
death, had his sentence committed into tran
spurtation to Tobolsk and was afterwards set
at liberty; the well known and highly es-
tcemed clergymen, Wisznski and Sleeke the
Jewish preacher Kramstuck, the photograph
er Bayer, and many more. Others, who now
fall into the hands of the police for the first
time, are the banker, Joseph Rawicz; New
field, the editor Of a Jewish paper; Julius Nit
tag the wealthy and much respected proprie-
Tor OF canule factory; hallSll, the largest
Warsaw cabinet maker; advocate Majewski,
and others. The excitement occasioned by
these arrests-all carried out in single night
Inlay easily be imagined.
Advices from the Lublin district report that
The insurgents, under Kluck, have succeeded
in annihilatng Russian division, but doubts
of their correctness may fairly be enter
tanned.
The official Dziennik publishes nothing but
an account of Russian victories. Thus, ac-
cording to this organ, the Russians, searching
the forests in the district of G0stynin, cap
tured sixteen insurgents, among them the for
mer district chief and superior Of the hanging
gendarmes, Punlinski, who was summarily
condemned to death by court martial, and
hanged. According to the same authority, in
the district of Weocawck, the Russians have
seized four chests of rhed muskets, seven
hundred pairs of long winter boots, ten saddle
sabres, one hundred and fifty uniforms, three
thousand gorgetS, and forty eight rebels
among the latter the former adjutant OF Carl
baldi, Baron Brenciengi, who has led bands
under the name of CallieS.
