Battles in Europe As a matter of interest!, at present, we give the following result oi desperate battles fought in Europe .since 1S12 : On the heights, four miles from Salamanca, in Spain, the English and Spaniards under Wellington, totally defeated the French under Marmont,oit the 2 l duly, 1M2. The allies lost 5,200 men, and the French 16,000, At the battle of Smolenski. in Russia, in 1812, the French loss was 17,UU0 and that of the Russians 10,000. At Borodino, on the 7th Septemher, was fought a desperate battle between the Russians and French. The French lost in killed, wounded and prisoners, 50,000; and the Russians about the same number. The survivors of the French army, from the Russian campaign, were not more than 35,000 out of an army of 500, 000 men. At Lutzen, in Russian Saxony, on the 2d of May, 1813, the allied Russian and Prussian forces were defeated by the French under Napoleon, the French losing 18,000 and the allies 15,000 men. At Rautzen, in Saxony, on the 21st and 22d May, 1813, a battle took place between the allies and the French, in which the French loss was put down at 25,000 flien, and that of the allies 15,000. At Dresden, in Saxony, on the UOth and 27th August, fc1815, the allies were defeated by the French. The loss of the allies was about 25,000 killed, wounded and prisoners, and that of the French about 12,000. At Leipsic, in Saxony, in October, 1813, a desperate battle was fought, which lasted three days, and the French were totally defeated hy the allies. Napoleon lost two marshals, twenty generals and 00,000 men. The allies lost 1,700 officers and about 40,000 men. At Victoria, in Spain, on the 21st June, 1813, the English and French fought. a battle, in which the French lost 7000 and the English 5,180. At Toulouse, in France, Wellington defeated the French under Sou It, on the 10th April, lsl4. The French loss was 4,700; allied army's loss 4,580 men. At Ligny, in France, a battle occurred between the Prussians and French on the 16th June, 1815, two days before the b ittle of Waterloo, in which the Prussians lost 15,000 men, and the French 0,800. In the indecisive battle at Quatre Brass, in Belgium, on the 10th of June, the day before tha: of Waterloo, the allies lost 5,200 men, and the French 114. At Waterloo the total loss of the allies was IG, ()"( men. Napoleon's was about 40,000. . Neither the Austrians nor the Prussians can derive much encouragement from history to engage in a war with France. The French troops have only been matched in these wars by the English, the Spaniards and the Russians scarcely by the last named. Taught by jus Wife. The LitehSeld, (Conn.) Enquirer of April 21, says: Wfi know a man in western New Yol k who could not write when married, but who was instructed by his wife so thoroughly, that within five years alter his marriage he was elected High Sheriff of his county, and within ten years served four years in Congress, and is now one oi' the most prominent financiers in the Empire State, President of a Rank, and worth probably half a million of dollars. BURKED TO DEATH. A melancholy accident happened a day or two ago to a young lady named Mathilda Sawyer, residing in Port Jervis, X. V., by which she 'ot her life. She was sitting up engaged in making her wedding dress, by the aid of a light from a fluid Irrop. Finding that the fluid was nearly consumed in the lamp, she at tempted to fill the la utp from the camphene can, leaving one wick burning; but no sooner hail the light touched the fluid than it communicated to the can, which burst, scattering the contents all around, aud setting fire to her dress. Before the fire was extinguished she was so terribly burned that death followed shortly after. KAHN WEILER & BROTHERS, ( Sceoiul Door from T. II. B rem f Cos.)

May 24, lcJ tf S T O 3FL ZEE! - 1 1 TERRIBIiE SHIPWRECK. Four Hundred and Twenty Persons l)rowne(7. The American ship I'emona. Capt:in Merrihow, which sailed from Liverpool, for New York, on the 27tli ult., was wrecked on Ulaekwater liank, near Wexford, Ireland, on Thursday, April 28. She had 876 passengers and a crew of 52 men. (Seventeen of the former are reported saved, and three of the latter. The rest were drowned. The Wexford Constitution gives the billowing details of the terrible disaster: She left the Mersey with a fair and full breeze, and everything seemed to be going on well up to a late hour when, almost in a moment, the hopes of the living freight were blighted, the ship struck, and nothing but death and desolation lay before them. .Many ol the passengers and a portion of the crew had retired to their respective berths, tit an early hour, but a large number more cheer fully inclined had congregated together in the sajoons, and were singing and dancing up to a late hour, there being both a fiddler and piper on board. As the night advanced, however, the breeze freshened into a stong gale, before which the gallant ship flew as it were towards her des tination, and most of the remaining passengers turned in. By some means, which at present we have been unable to ascertain with accuracy, the captain, when Hearing Teskar, seems to have lost his reckoning, and mistaken .is position, for a little nast niinnifht the shin was driven oil to a. ! sandbank some seven miles off' Ihdlyconsigar, i near the Blackwater, the sea making a clear breech over her and sweeping the deck. The pas sengers rushed in crowds to the deck, most of them but partially dressed, and many with only their night clothes on. for a short time a wild scene of tenor and confusion ensued, which, however, gradually subsided as the calm orders of the cap tain were obeyed by the crew, and something like order was re-established. The pumps were quick ly manned, and it was found that the vessel was lust making water, bat the captain was in hopes that if the weather moderated be should be able in the morning to land all his passengers by means of his boats. In this, however, he was doomed to be disappointed, as the gale continued with in crease fury during the whole of the day. In the course of the morning an attempt was made to launch the lifeboats, but they were stove in and their crews drowned In this fearful state of sus pense they remained until towards evening, when the ship, which had till then remained firm on the bank, slipped off by the stern into deep water and commenced rapidly to till. The whale boat was then launched, and a number of the crew and passengers rushed into her. The captain, in the hope of being ngain driven on the bank, let go the best bower anchor, but all his exertions were fruitless, and though more than forty men were working at the pumps, the water gained upon them so fast that in less than an hour she sank. The heart rending scenes that must have oecured dating that hour are fearful to think of, but are known only to God, for beyond those in the boat, not a soul was saved. The captain, first and second mates remained on the sinking ship, the only officer on the boat being the third mate, Stephen Kelly, who succeeded in reaching the shore in com any with eighteen others of the crew and three passengers, five being washed out in their passage from the vc sel. On the beach at Ballyconigar, however, were found the lifeless remains of several of the unfor tunate passengers, which were removed to the brtathouse near there to await tin inquest, One of the first bo lies rescued from the waves was that of a lady, ap arently about 40 years of age, who, in life must have been a handsome wo man, and evidently moving in a respectable sphere of life Here, however, we blush t record it, we must notice an act of barbarism so gross that it is hardly credible that any person in this age of civilization cotdd be found guilty of it. The body of this lady when found by the const guard was stripped of all its clothes, with the exception of a body linen, and it was ascertianed that this dia bolical act had been committed by one of the same sex, a woman residing in the village of Blackwater, who had their desecrated the dead body and made off with the clothes. On the arrival of the con stabulary, however, a body of whom, under the command of sub-inspector Strain and brad consta ble Harding, left here early in the morning, this brute in human shape was made to give up her plunder, and it is to be hoj ed that she wiil meet with the just reward such inhuman conduct de serves. 'J he dress of this unfortunate lady con sis'eJofa black silk jacket, with Mna'i white spots, a black satin skirt, two fine flannel skirts, linen corset, wdiite cotton stockings and slippers. Two large and handsome gold earrings were also found with the body, to which was attached an India rubber life belt Near the spot where this body was discovered there was afterwards found the body of a young man, apparently about twenty-five years of age, black hatred, and dressed in black (with a life belt attached,) and, according to the statement of the third mate and some of the sailors, the son of the lady above mentioned, who it is reported to have been the widow of an American captain, and to have had with her a daughter about sixteen or seventeen years old. The next body cotne to was that of a gentleman of middle age, diesred in I lick, on whose Demon was found a silver lev r watch, a pocket book eou taming li tters and private memoranda, and some few pounds in gold and silver, but nothing leading to identification. Near to this body was also found that of a male infant, of about i months old, and that of a young woman of about twenty, par tially clothed, with a black stuff and flannel skirt, black stockings, &c., With the exception of a fine linen skirt, and a barrel (with ttM. Shannon'' painted thereon,) containing potatoes and other provisions, evidently the property of a steerage passenger, nothing else was discovered near the spot the nearest point to the scene of this awful catastrophe, and we resumed our search along the cot st towards Wexford. From Curracleo to the Bavcn Point the shore was strewn with pieces of the wreck, including doors and pannels from the saloons and cabins, beautifully painted and gilded, haudsonie carved chairs and couches, patent line seats, beds and bedding, the cabin skylights and other fittings, with the remains of two shattered life scata, first attempted to be launched. I HOW PETER SPORUM COURTED SAL. Well, you see artrr the poker scrape me and Sal got along only midlin well fur some time, till I made up my mind to fetch things to a head, for 1 loved hqr harder and harder every day, but to do the thing up right pestered me orful. I pot a luv book and read how fellers got down on their mar fear bones and talked like fools, and how the gals would go into a sorter trance, but that way didn't 'zaekly snte my invdiun. I axed main how dad courted her, but she sed she did the courting. At last I made up my mind to go it blind, for this thing was fairly consumin' my innards. So I goes over to her daddy's ( that's SaTs) and when I got there I sot like a fool tbinkin how to begin. Sal sed sumthin was a trubling ov mo, and savs, 'Aint you sick, Peter:" She Bed this mitey soft like. 'Yes no,' sed I, 'that is aint 'zaekly well I thought I'd come over to nitc.' That's a mitey putty begiuuin anyhow thinks T, so 1 tried agin. "Sal,' says I, and by this time I felt fainty and uneasy like about the siuizerinctum. 'What,' says Sal. 'Sal,' says I again. 'What,' says she. I'll get it arter a while at this like thinks T. 'Peter,' says she, 'thar's sumthin trublin you powerful I know; it's initey rong fur you to keep it from a body, fur an innard sorrer is a consilium lire.' She sed this, she did, the deer sly crceter she need what was the matter all the time, and was just tryin to fish it out, but I wus so fur gone I didn't see the pint. At last I sorter gulphed down the lump as was risin in my throte, and ses: 'Sal duz you luv enny body '!'

With that she fetched a sorter ftluroeur, and tu tor a w hile, she ses: 'Peter," "What, Sally," ses I. "Y-K-S," ses she, a hidin ov her putty face be hind her hands. You may depend on it I felt good. 'Glory, glory V ses I. 'I must holler, Sal, or I'll hunt wide open. Hoorah for hoorah I kin jump over a ten rale fence, and kin do eny and everything that any other feller could, would or orter do.'

Wo are sorry to learn from the lowa j ap rs that there is still much suffering in Towa, from want of food. Iluring the early part of Spring, cattle diod of starvation by scores, throughout the State, there being no grain to feed them with; aud that affairs are not a whit improved at this time, mffy be learned by the following picture of distress, from the Eddyville Commercial : It is useless to deny or attempt to conceal the fact. This region of the country is destitute of the m i i flrirn of life. The stock of food for man and beard is about exhausted. There is, perhaps, corn enough to feed those who are unable to buy flour, but they have not the means to buy corn. It is in the hands of a few persons, and they w ill only sell for the cash, at a dollar a bushel. Not one-third of those who need to buy corn have the dollar, or any means of getting it, for the money, like the corn is out of the reach of the destitute. We are not a panic-maker, but of this we feel certain, and wc speak advisedly, that in thirty-days from this time, unless those w bo have a surplus agree to part with it on time, at a fair price, it will be distributed and carried away by hands of desperate men, to feed their starving families. This sounds terribly, but it is too near the truth, and men will not suffer their families to starve when food can be procured by going and taking it. 2'i, 1859. II. D. WILLIAMS & CO.
