NEWS OF THE WEEK.
THE news from Russia : published in the papers of Thursday afternoon requires us to add little to what we have written at length elsewhere about the character and progress of the great battle in Poland and the Baltic provinces. What is new is good/ and reinforces the hopes we have expressed in our first leading article. The Germans advancing from Ponewiess on Monday suffered heavy losseit from the Russian artillery fire. On Tuesday the Germans captured some Russian trenches on the left bank of the Narew, but were driven back across the river. Between the Wieprz and the Bug—that is, near the very important Lublin-ChOlin railway and in opposition to the redoubtable Marshal von Mackensen—the Russians captured three villages and took fifteen hundred prisoners.
