Tao doprcciution 1n tbe value of lundc.l pmpcrly, botlt here and m other ports of Poland. Is almost incredible. Estates ore fold every day at a third of their real value. Last week one of the finest homes in Warsaw, which cost 130,000 roubles a few yf ars buo, wub sold lor 41,000 rouble. Tim de preciation, wnlch is mainly due to lite general impoveiiflinicut of the country, is also in a cer tain degree to be accounted for by the arbitrary measuro ol the government in regard to resi dence. Thus a ukuvc decreed pome tima mio that all lauded proprietor In Lithuania who were Siipectcd" ot havinff been concerned in tlie late intirrfCtion should sell their esta'es and leltle in the kPicdom of Poland. The renilt of this decree wai that a number of the pro prietors in question bought estates in the adjoining .districts of the kingdom. They had 8crccly established themselves, however, in tlieir new homes when another ret?ulaUou was published ordering theui to reside in the western lortiofl of tbe kinudoin viz., near the Prussian iromier so tiiat they are uow compelled a'aln to dispose ol their estates and move still further to the outlt. The Zniuojski Palace, which whs seciue3lratcd by the Covcrmnent in 1H0J because a bomb bad been thrown out of it by seine unknown peroa at Count Ucig. has now been finally given over to the rorpt of engineers. Vtut though the Gov ernment hns lakea poasersion ot the propertv it refuses to psy off the morlannes noon it. One ot these, arueunting to 130,000 roubles (20,000), was lelt by the late Countess Zamoyskl to her children, being a portion of the property which was Beitled upon her at her marriage. Th heirs have repeatedly urged their claim upon tbe Government, but tlie latter refuses to pay either principal or interest, on the plea that, as the palace wws the property of Count Zamoyski and had been conucn:ed, the share of his children in the property must be connicatcd b1:o. The heirs then attempted to bring the matter into a court ot law, but tne dread ot oflendn:g the Government hero s such that they could not get a single lawyer to take up their case. The system of Kusv.fle,at,lou Is still being pur- ueo in an parts 01 rciuna witnuuaontca visor. General Potapolt, the Governor of Lithuania, and author of the famous decree forbidding Poles to speak Polish, has issued a circular changing the Polbh names of the principal villages and towns in his district into Russian ones and direct'mg the 0 Hie i ids to tuko no notice ol any letters whi::h are not addressed iu conformity with the new scheme, which la to come into operation (rout the 1st of January.

SING ULAIt THEFT. A Mhu Tied to n Kingbolt Iu Ilia Oliee hikI Itoubed. From the Boston Trunscript, fcb. 2. A queer robberv is reportel to have boon committed upon air. navict t. sisson, ireinurer ol Post No. 15, G. A, K., yesterday. Mr. Sis son's storv is Hubstautially as follows: lie hud just entered his office ih the headquarter of the post, tn tne inira-psory 01 uuuuiug hi iue corner of Lucas and Washington streets, at 11 o'clock A. M., when a woman, who had evi dently lollowed him up the staircase, accosted him, and in the manner usual with appli cants ior relief, asked lor aid. Alter bearing her story Mr. Sissou couoludod that her care did not come under his cognizance as treasurer of tbe Post, and In formed her that ho coul I not aid her. As she went out he requested her to shut the door, which fastened with a dead-latch. Whether the woman shut the door or not Mr. Siason says he was too busy to notice; out in icss toan nve minutes he was seized from behind around the neck by the strong hands of a man who had entered unperceived, with the remark, in a subdued lone, "I've got you." iu treasurer cays be resisted as he best could, but was so ChOKeu toat ne coma ui uuer a cry unui draeaed to a ringbolt in the floorot the ante room, where, placing a revolver at his head, the aseailant told bira that it he mane a noise ne would "put his light out." The man then produced a rope about the size cf a small clothes line, and secured Mr. Slsson by the neck to the blt. He then went to a small box wherein the treasurer was In the hab.t 01 Keep ing the Post's funds, and after examining the several envelopes lu which different moneys wore inp.iospd. obtained about $400. which be pocketed. He then returned to his prisoner and took from the Jatter's pantaloon pockets a wallet containing his private lunas ana oiaor valuables, amounting in the aggregate to about $'200, and deliberately lelt, with the remark, as It addiesced ta an accomplice in the entry, "Well Pete, shall we meet at the same place to night11'" Though the robber bad once betore du rinc the operation poke a9 though somebody was within hearine, Mr. Sisson save he heard no response nor footsteps and saw no other Serson. The victim was left iu the position above described, with bla head bo near the floor and the rope so tight around his neck ihathe could make but very little noise, In this post tlon ho was compelled to stay lor more than an hour not having been able to make himself heard bv people on the ground floor; and finally iel"ased himself by persistently gna wing at the rone which at lat parted. Th-a affair has been rdiced in tbe bands of the detectives, State and fitv wbo are enpaued iu "considering" it. Mr. KiHBon thinks he should be able to fully Identity his assailant. M A WESTERN TRAGEDY, An raced Iirotber Shoots Ills Sister's liitcuUtMl II unbuild. Prom the rttlaski(Tenn.) Citizen, Jan. 20. Wc have learned the particulars of a trasjic allalr which occurred near Cornersvllle, in this county, a few days ayo. A young nian wooed and won the hand of a young lady whose bro ther wns violently opposed to the unit eh, and who swore they never should marry. The heroic thotiL'h perhaps rnispultfcd young lady, yteldine to the permia-ive arguments of love, consented to an elopement. Accordingly, they clandestinely repaired to a neighboring house to consummate their ardent desire. But the resolute and desperate brother wai upon their track, and just as tb happy couple were on tbe floor, about to be made one, a ball from bis pistol penetrated a vital part of the bridegroom's body, and he fell in tbe Hrtnsof the devoted girl, who, true to him in death, assisted by friends, conveyed him to the bed, where, at her request, the ceremony was finished, sue exclaim ing that she "had rather mourn adead husband than a dead lover." In a tew minutes the newly-made husband expired. The destroyer of bis sister's happiness baa not beec seen since he fired the fatal shot. Designs ol the Provisional Government ThoCaban Troubles. Correspondence from Madrid, Jan. 10, recitei Ihe following: It is understood that the Government has been sounding the troops to ascertain their feelings In regard o a coup afnf. Some of the infantry, officered by Prim's friends, are rips for anything, but the engineer and artillery corps cannot be corrupted. The latter are the elite of the Spanish army. They declare at least their prominent officers dec! tro th at they will support the Government io all that la oroper and right until the Cortes meets, and whatever that body decrees they will obey, but tbey will not permit any coup d'etat if they can help It. Tne position assumed by those corps has rather tnrown cold water on the ambitions designs of the Government. Bail it cannot bi safely affirmed that tbey have been relinquished. They will not be uutil the Hat moment, althongn it is more impossible daily to curry them out. The elections take place ou tlie l.Hh, and the result will greatly udect the plans or the Government. Manhal Serrano, l'roidnt of the Provisional Government, addressed Mr. IKIe, our Mtulstur, a note on ew Year's Hay, with a copy of a teleerain troia General Pviu. commanding troops in Malaga, ltiioiming the Government thai a boat of tbe hwat ita, bearing the tJuited States Hag, had been bred into by the revolu tionists while it was conveying some ladies to tne snip, general Paia bs.l discerned the revolutionists, and he did not know whether any one hud been hurt in the boat. lit; bad nvute explanations to the commander o! tbe Swalara. Ueueral Serrano, on behalf of the Provisional Goveminen', deplored the act of vandalism. The rela tions botweeu the United States and Sp.ilu weie always friendly, and he regrc ted that, aujthing suould occur that might In any way chaneo them, lie promised to secure and punish tbe guilty parlies fortius gross assault 011 the fla ot a iriciuly country. Ot courne the act was one that could not be prevented, and iue Government is not to blaino lor it. General Serrano very promptly, on oehalf of the Gov ernment, convejed to .Mr. H ile tho news and his regrets. That was all thai could be done. Mr. Hale bits, no doubt, expressed his entire satisfaction at Genera! Serrano's disclaimer, and the alUir will bo dropped, unless sonaethiug different is reported by Commander Bhikcor the Vice-consul. The news from Cuba Is said to be very gloomy. Every exertion is being put forth to hurty on reiuforcements. Transportation ia limited; the Cadiz and Malaga affairs have atlectej governmental pluns, and above all the finances arc iu such a deplorable state that it is doubtful whether any considerable number of troops can oe sent out before spring, when It may be too late. We do not kno the precise nature of the ii telliircnee that General Lersuudi has sent by Atlantic cable, but we may infer that It is bad from the effect in the hieher circle. Spaniards begin to freely admit tiiat they cou bider the isiand of Cuba lost to them, and they say that it does not surprise them when such persons as General Dulca tcok with him are sunt out to govern tlto islaud. It Is con fessed on all sides that no such lot of needy and penniless adventurers were ever seut out ol Spain betore to be saddled on the poor Cubans. With very lew exceptions, they are men of no talent, position, or respeclablity. They came to the surface during: the revolutioa, and must be taken caro of by the Government. They will fill their pocke's in Cuba If the revo lution there does not choke them off, and como home rich. As illustrating their character, they relate a good saying of a wit, who sla'ed that if those fellows could raise money by mortgaging Cuba they would have pledged half oi the i.-Oand and spent the pro ceeds before they sa'lcd from Cadiz. It ts a pity that Spain could not send better raeo. What wonder that the island is dissatisfied to see its refconrecs dissipated or bagged by these needy adventurers? To be suiv, the otficinls here are but little better, and Cuba may not in justice claim that partiality has beeu shown her. The Finance Minister 19 in a pa'ntul position. Tho old government h id negolia'ed a loan with the Kothscailds, of Paris, tor 400,000,000 real, and bonds to that amount had been s nt him. He sold in one way or another 100,000,000 in these bonds and remitted the Government 90,000,000, after having deducted 10,000,000 for his percentage, insurance, and 1 know not what. Mr. Figucrola, the Finance Minister, relied on the sale of the balance, 300,000,000, to meet tho interest ol various bonds now duo. Hut day be fore yeoterday he received from the Hothschilds all the bonds in his hands, with the inlormation that he would not undertake to put them on the market very sharp practice on the part ol tho Paris bankers, but exceedincly bad for the Provisional Government. The Minister of Finance found himself, figuratively speaking, on his beam ends, und was compelled lo borrow ten million reals from the Hank of Spain to meet imperative payment1. No one knows what will bedoue now. Tae interest of the debt mint remain impaired, unless tome method is discovered by which niouey can be raised. What that method shall be just now ecg8ges the thoughts of every financier, who can see no dajlient anywhere. The situation is bad enough with the coffers well filled, but when perfectly empty it Is really disheartenine. Ppanlah funds are dropping lower and lower daily. The end must come very soon. How can the craBh be prevented ? Arous verrona. LEGAL INTELLIGENCE. Contlnurd from tht fu$t FuO. DisTiiicT Court, No. 1 Judge Stroud. Mo Donald vs. The Bonded Warehouse Company.

Afterthe rending of tnejonrnal, theSorgeant-at-At rrs appeared at the bar of the House with Henry Johnson in bis custody, tbe reonsaut witness committed yesterday to his keeping;. Mr. Laurence, chairman of the committee on the New York eleoilon frauds, staled that tbe wlinet had appeared before the committee and testified, and that there seemed to have been a misunderstanding between the witness ai d the ofllcera who served the subpoena as to the room at which the committee had been sitting in New York. Under these circum stances he ottered a resolution that Henry John ton be discharged from custody. Mr. Brooks asked why not say honorably dls cbrgen ? Mr. Lawrence sur posed thai that was unne cessary. Mr. Brooks thought tbat it was nnneoessary after casting contempt upon the man, aud bringing him to Washington under arrest. Mr. Woodward remarked that the ouly effect of tbe gonlleman from Ohio (Lawrence) refus ing to admit the statement of the witness yes tetday, as to his having obeyed the summons, hud been t e disgraceful Incarceration of a fieeman for U4 hours. Mr. Koblnxon made the point of order that the word "disgraceful" used by Mr. Woodward waa a more severe expression than he himself bad been called to order for yesterday. Tbe Speaker sustained the point of order. The witness had been lucaroerated by order of tbe Houe, and It was not proper for a gentle man to denounce the action of the House as dituraoefnl. Mr. Woodward remarked that the expression whs t-U ietly correct. Tbe Bpeaksr The Chair, however, decided Otherwise. Mr. Woodward The House was led to the de clsion by tbe gentleman from Ohio refusing lo accept the statement of tbe witness yesterduy. Then tbe House, very properly, I think, com mitted him to the custody of the Serjeant-at-arms, but the House wus misled into tae act by the gentleman from Onlo. 'J bo Hpeaker As the Chair views this ques tion from parliamentary, not a Judicial btaud point, the Chair cannot seo how "a disgraceful act" can "very properly" be done. Mr. Woodward If I used that word I with draw It. I say, however, that if the gentleman from Onlo accepted the statement rnide yester day, the House would not have done the very "p'reper" act ef recommitting this citizen.

A Hot In nil Investigating Committee. Thtre was quite a ro in the Wells-Fargo Investigating Committee to-day. It appears that newspaper corrcpondents appeared to testify before the committee, and got Into a difficulty with the chairman, Mr. Droomall. The latter pave It as hU opinion tbat all newspaper corres pondents were corrupt, and could bo bought for a conndcrntion. A correspondent roaented the remarks ol Mr. firoomall, and a lively n. ene ensued. A Font with Itntlrr. During tlie debate on the Indian appropila tion bill a lively scene took place between General Builer, who had charge of the bill, and Mr. Uolbrook, tho delegate from Idaho Terri tory. Mr. Uolbrook charged that Batler hal made s'attment rclntive to the appropriations for Idaho snd other Territories which he knew to be unqualifiedly false when he made them.

The Bergoant-at-Arms next presented at the bar the other rceuasul witness, Florence bean nell. Mr. Lawrence offered a resolution for the dis charge of Hcurinell from custody on payment of the coats of arrtat. Mr. Hess Rbked tbe Chairman of the Commit -tee whether he was not willing to let the wit ness go without payment ot costs, lis under stood thht the reason why the witness had refused 10 answer was that his answer would criminate a leading Republican in New York, and he hoped tho witness would be lot off. Mr. Lawrence said he had no doubt its to what tho House should do in tbe case. He hai always supposed that this was the usual and proper course, and be thought It ue to the dignity of the House that at least the punishment pro posed by the resolution should be visited on this witness. Mr. Kerr thonght the witness should be dis charged without the payment of co ds. He was a poor man, and would have to get home the best way he could, as he would not be paid for his attendance as a witness, and he would therefore bo sufficiently punished without being compelled to iey the costs or his arrest. He moved to amend the resolution by striking out tbe words "on payment of oosts of arreaU" Mr. Wood inquired of the Hpeaker what would be done with tbe witness it be were un able to pay the costs of his arrest. Was be to remain in custody ? Tbe Speaker said he could not answer that question, as It was not parliamentary ques tion Mr. Farns worth proposed tbat tbe member whose constituent the prisoner was stiould pay tbe coats. Mr. Wood said he was not the witness' repre sentative, but he wished to know what ooald' be done if the wltnexs could not pay. Mr. Hohenok suggested that it would be la order to draw on tume rich Demoorui like the gentleman, Mr. Wood, Mr. Brooks desired to answer Mr. Farns worth's proposition, bat abjection wns made, and the question was taken on Mr. Kerr's amendment, which was rejeo ed yeas, 87' nays, 1211.
