News from Tampico.

New YORK, Nov. 19.-The Navy De
partment has received information o
the arrival of the AllapOOsa at Calves
ton from off Tampico. No foreign YES
sells of war were off the river or in port
at Tampico on the 10Th of October, and
only one American vessel in harbor
Tampico is at present in command OF
Col Gomez with force of 800 men, con
trolling customs and enforcing payment
of loans. The authorities of Victoria
the capital of the State, do not recog
nize those of Tampico, and their guer'
rillas seize all goods found Ell route fol
the interior markets despatched from
Tampico custom houses.
BY letters from San Lois Potosi 1T is
asserted that an expeditionary force
will leave that place in the early part
of November for the reinforcement OF
Tampico. General PavOre, on the
Haustead, who is now holding Tampico,
has issued a PROCLAMATION declaring
Puebla now open to foreign commerce,
which it is feared will lead to open hos
tility between the forces under his com
mand those under Colonel Gomez; under
this state of affairs the inhabitants OF
TampicO are in constant dread of the
most serious disorders and probabili-
ty of the indiscriminate plumber OF the
town.

In Justice Dailey's Court yesterday a
curious case came up. About a year ago
the pretty daughter of q widow lady
named Harris, residing in South First
street, Williamsburgh, received the adj
dresses of Van Rensselaer, Ten Brock
and James Rigley- The former resided
at New Brunswick, n. j., and the latter
in New York City. The Jerseyman was
the favored sutton, and Miss Harris gave
him her hand and heart. The nuptials
were attended by their respective
friends, and the young couple started ON
the voyage of life, engaging a residence
in South First street; but it did not
prove prosperous. Mr.. Rlgley did not
seem to comprehend the fact that Miss
Harris had changed her name and situa-
ton, and continued to press his suit.
1t was in vain that Miss Harrison,
rather, Mrs. Ten Broeck-pleaded her
case, pleading, as she asserts, that she
was already wife. Rigley was impor-
innate, violent aud demonstrative. He
finally became SO violent and threaten
ing that the girl-for she was only in
her sixteenth year-as alleged, consent
ed to marry him and abandon Ten Bro
eek. The second marriage, it is charg-
ed, was consummated but soon proved
an unhappy one, Rigley's love having
cooled off considerably for some unex-
planned reason, and, as she herself as
serts, he acted very cruelty instead of
lovingly toward her. The couple finally
removed to Glen Cove, Long Island, and
took up their residence there. 1t might
be supposed that Mr.. Ten Brock was
terribly exercised when deserted by his
young bride, but he was not. Indeed,
he submitted to the desertion with phi
losophical Indifference, and Immediately
returned to New Brunswick, where it is
said he had wife living whom he had
married some years before he became ac
quainted with Miss Harris. 1t is not
known whether Mrs. Ten Brock No.
knew anything at the time of Mrs.
Ten Brock No 2. Meanwhile Mr..
and Mrs. Rigley lived at Glen
Cove. The wOman's life became
so unhappy that she resolved to
leave Rigley, and at the time she made
up her mind to do SO the Jerseyman Of
fered To take her again to his heart,
and she clccifully accepted the offer.
When Rigley found hin 8 If deserted
and his old rival in possession of the
tickle woman, his jealousy and love re-
turned, and he resolved to repossess her.
He then visited New Jersey and various
other places, but failed to find her until
Tuesday afternoon, when she was dis
covered liz South First street, Williams
burgh. lie then procured a warrant
from Justice DALEY and had her arrest
ed OH charge of bigamy. Mrs. Ten
Brock No 2, having heard of the doings
of her husband, also obtained n warrant
for his arrest on similar charge, and at
midnight he was arrested by Officer
Griffin, of the Forty-fifth Precinct, and
locked up. He was found by the officer
ut GoodersOn's Hotel, Chatham street,
New York.

Thirty-niue Fenian Prisoners Re-
leased.

TORONTO. C.. W., Nov. 19.-On Sat
urday night thirty-nine Fenian prison
ers confined in the old Jail were released
from custody. Their discharge was
conducted with great secrecy, it be-
ing only about an hour before their
being sent away that the prisoners
themselves were made aware eff the joy
Gus tidings. They were furnished trans
portatiOn by the Government to the
suspension bridge, and a special train
provided by the Great Western railway.
This drew up in the rear of the Jail at
ten o'clock, and the men were safely
lodged on board in charge of a guard OF
twenty men with corporal and ser
geant. under command of Lieutenant
Harrison, of the 18th regiment. The
prisoners received good supper at the
station before starting, and each pre-
scented with five dollar bill grcenback.
On reaching the Falls, the Fenians babe
goodbye to the escort, giving three
hearty cheers for the Sheriff, the Gov
ernor of the Jail, and Jail officials.
The jury i'm the case of Weeks, killed
by accident an the Grand Trunk rail
way, on Friday, returned verdict that
the deceased, Weeks, came to his death
by a train running off the track near
Breslau Station on the 10th inst,
caused by a broken rail. We further
find, and are of the opinion, that no
blame rests on the company i'll the case.

The stock market was heavy at the
last opening ofthe Board, but the closing
quotations were all higher than the
opening quotations of the morning.
The money market is easier, and first
class firms get accommodated at ) per
cent. on cali, but weak parties have TO
pay 6 per cent. There is not much
movement in discounts, but rates are
firmer. There are very few names that
pass uhder7 per cent, owing to the con-
tinued dullness and depression on the
produce and merchandise markets.
Gold was decidedly firIner this after
noon and rallied to l4lfa14li at the

The foreign exchange market is dull
and nominal, at 0sial % for prime

A general Jail delivery occurred in st
Louis Friday morning without the in
terposition of the proper Courts. Six
persons, five of whom were committed
on the charge of grand larceny and one
for murder, made their escape from the
third tier of cells by wrenching stone
from the outside wall and descending
by rope to the Jail yard, from whence
an easy exit is made over the wall into
the street.

lowing: The reform question is again

TO be seen if the mission which Mr..
Bright has fulfilled in Ireland will serve
to impede its resolution. Be that, how
ever, as it may; the Irish people cannot
but be sensible that the influence which
they are urged to extend to the cause
Mr.. Bright is advocating, should be hus-
banded and guarded i'll their own inter
ests, and not lightly exchanged for a
political promise which, as they viii
not fail to perceive, has yet to he en-
dorsed by responsible statesmen.

Dry Goods Market.

New YORK, Nov. 10.
There is considerable irrcgularity of
feeling and opinion in the dry goods
market. The absence of buyers from
iobbinm houses indicates further de-
cline in goods, while on the contrary
the agents accept the steadiness of tho
cotton market as more hopeful sign.
There is hut little decided change III
prices from Saturday, although the
present quotations are nominal and prl-
ces tend downward. Should there be a
reduction in cotton and gold, dry goods
would quickly feel it; but should both
continue downward, dry goods must
follow. The prices of Sprague's prints
were reduced one cent II yard on Satur-
day afternoon, by both agents and job
beers. The business is, however, not
much increased. Print cloths are re-
ported firmer this morning with no sell
lers, at 12c. for Ga by Ga. Cloth-Brown
and Bleached Domestic are nominally
lower. The heavy decline last week
called in but little trade. Ticks
Stripes and Denims are very quiet. The
market has no working basis on which
to give reliable prices. Brown Sheet

ket for spring woolens, there is light
er demand as there is for Linseys and
Flannel, but generally there is but lit
tie to say beyond. what has been report
ed for the entire season. The light i'm
portations has much relieved the mar
ket for foreign goods and caused hold
ers to show more confidence. Should
importations continue light and the
fairidemand continue, the leading kinds
of foreign goods must soon become
scarce and wanted. The absence of auc.
ton sales, gives n temporary lull TO bust.
