has severely shocked the propriety OF

ent positions which the respective par.
ties to the affair held in society. 1t APP
pears that young lady named Crosse,
aged about twenty years the daughter
Of clergyman, formed an attachment
10 her fathers groom, lad two years
her Junior, named Geo. Smith. Geogee
had been in the family about two years,
during which time he used to escort the
young lady during her equestrian exeY-
! cisea. In this way an Intimacy sprung

/ finally became of, and thercupon deter
mined To discharge George at once,
The young lady heard OF her father

course, but she persisted, and according

The question was how TO get married .

was under age. The couple, therefore
Returned disconsoiate to their apart

by the father TO hunt up the runaways
came upon them, and arrested the groom
on charge Of fraudulently inducing The
young lady TO leave her home, knowine
that she had money in her pOssesss0n be-
longing TO Mr.. Crosse. The case after
wards came up for examination before Il
police magistrate, where facts were made
apparent. Upon being asked if the
groom had induced her 10 quit her home,
or mado the first advances to that end,
the damsel said "No; think we were

Mexican News.


Mexican news has for some time past
been considerably mixed. II has been
evident, however all the while, that the
Imperial Government, though regarded
as French scheme of usurpation over
the hayward republican dynastIes o!
late periods, had the favor generally OF
large elements of Mexican society. But
while this il the case, we have rather
marvellous accounts from time TO time
through correspondent of the New
Orleans Times, claiming TO write from
the city of Mexico, of ddings by the one
party or other, Liheralsts or imperial
ists, in the civil struggle. 4 while ago
he almost weekly sent confident adyices
Of various contests of arms between the
two, which, as he reported, always re-
suited to the disadvantage of the lmpe-
rialiss. Almost simultaneously or I'M
mediately following, We would have
more clear and definite adviees, coming
directly from the scenes OF action, Of
the waning power Of the i4iberals--that
is, the followers Of the republican Pres
idcnt, JuareZ - and their defeat, till
,inalIy we had the certain information
of Juarez having been driven 10 the ex-
IRENE of the northern border, taking
refuge at FL passo. This has been con-
firmed by letters dated thence from .Iu-

the imperialists and French allies had
