IP SINGLE COPIES ONE CENT. CAREER OF AN ADVENTURER IN EU- ROPE AND AMERICA. [From La Patrie, of Paris, August 23.] Among the most adventurous lives of which the annals of crime have transmitted us the re- cord, we find but few as fertile in crimes of all kinds ag that of an adventurer after whom the police of London and Paris were looking for several years, and whose death has just n mentioned in a letter from San Francisco. This man, whose true origin has never been ascer- tained, but who is sup to have been a na- tive of Piedmont, [taly. was gifted with the most seducing exterior. He spoke Italian, Eng- lish and French; thoroughly educated, he ex- celled in all kinds of bodily exercise; he,was a perfect gentleman. Tn several instances he took the title and name of Marquis de S——, and had even in his possession papers testif}ing to his identity on that subject. One of the members of that fam- ily disappeared a long time ago, during his travels in Signy and aimee minute in- Yestigations did not lead to obtaining any in- formation of what became of him. Sriad this young gentleman any relation with our advon- turer? This person may have killed him to obtain possession of his gold and papers; or did he perish by an accident in one of his exeur- sions in the Alps? The fact will probably re- main 4 mystery forever; but the man of whom — was perfectly qualified to commit a ler. as will be shown by the following: ‘n 1847 our adventurer was in one of the indst important cities of England, under the name of the Marquis de S——. Several honorable fam- ilies received the noble foreigner with nssidu> ous attention. His scooimplished manners and his title turned the head of a young miss, the daughter of a rich brewer. She married him, notwithstanding the remonstrances of her pa- rents, and some months afterwards the pretend- ed eA oe broke, on a certain night, into the safo of his father-in-law, and disappeared with a large amount. Less than a year afterwards, under the name of Forster, the same individual was married in America, for the second time, to the daughter of a reverend gentleman who was also in an honorable position. He suceeeded in gainin; some respectability, and became intimate wi two rich American gentlemen. They invited him to go with them on an excursion near Lake Ontario, where they had some business to trant- set. The pretended Forster went with them. The two American itlemen received from theit client, and divided, a large amount of money. Qn their return, they decided to travel coagtwise along the picturesque borders of the St. Lawrence. They were mounted on horse- back for the long trip. While ex roxte, one of the Americans pro to bet that he could cross one of the —_ of the river by swimming. His companion objected, that it was a danger- ous undertaking: but the otherinsisted so much that the bet was taken up. The money which they had received was to be the stakes, and they were handed over to Forster. The one who had proposed to bet. jamped immediately into the water; he swam a certain distance, but was soon carried away by the current ‘ Oh, God! I believe he is going to sink,”’ exclaimed the second American, with anxicty. “I think so also,” was the cool answer of Forster. ““We must go to his help,”’ said the other. Forster did not answer, and remained unmoved. -he companion of the drowning man did not hesitate for s moment to throw himself into the water, but found himself in such great peril that he soon swam back. When he reached the shore exhausted. he was shot in the shoulder and remained lifeless on the shore. This crime was the work of Forster, who being rid of his two companions, appropriated the amount en- trusted to him; but the victim was not dead, and it is th wh him that the details of the crime became stem afterwards. Some time afterwards the wretch, fearing the consequences of the affair, left New York and took with him the diamonds of his wife and mother-in-law. From that moment up to 1853 all traees of our adventurer were lost. What became of him during that period, or the crimes he may have committed, is unknown. In 1853 we find him in France under the name of Sir Burdett, an English tourist. He began by swindling 6.000 francs from a hotel keeper of St. Germain, with whom he was boardiag forsometime. One day when the latter went to Paris on business he ig him a bank note to exchange ; three or ‘uur days afterwards he asked a favor from him ; be a that be was going to the races of La Marche and wanted 6, francs, in French coin, for a large bet. He left asa pledge a eg coger yares in bank notes, similar the one he iven to exchange before The landlord, who faa full confidence in his guest. gathered all his resources to please him, and the Englishman disappeared. When the hotel keeper, after waiting for a long period, wanted to use the bank notes deposited with him, he perceived that they were merely busi- ness cards of London merchants. Uur Proteus reappeared eighteen months af- terwards in one of the large cities of the South of France, with his title of Ma; de S####, end there he was again on the eve of being narried to a young and noble lady; but the ndarmes, who had his description, arrested m and brought him before t! ¢ Mayor of a village. He succeeded, however, in inducing the magistrate to believe that he was the vic- tim of a mistake, and the family to which he es to be allied was the first to claim we mu I As soon as he recovered his liberty, our ad- venturer ap again ; he took refuge in a village of the Hautes Pyrenees, where he gave bimseif out as a political refugee by the name of Adelezzio; there he seduced a rich orphan of the country, and left with a large share of her fortune. He conceived finally that Europe was a dan- gerous abode for him, and sailed for California, the promised land of adventurers. He keeps the name of Adelezzio and applies himself to industrial operations. He is seen often in com- pany with Lola Montez, but nothing of his for- mer life comes to light. He was to find at last the reward of his crimes. He was murdered in the neighbor- hood of San Francisco, in the latter part of Uc- tober, 1856. His body, horribly mutilated, was found at the bottom of a ravine. Is this mur- der to be imputed to a spirit of revenge or to the cupidity of malefactors who had attacked him for piunder’ It is a mystery which has not yet been cleared up. st]. UPA family in Soutn Garden, Mass., were recently poisoned by eatin meat after it had been stung by a wasp tah aaa ulars are as follows : The lady baving boiled » piece uf corn beef placed it in the window to cool It had been there but a few moments when she observed a wasp had iit on the meat and was making every exertion to escape. but in vain, the meat being so hot as toa burn his feet and legs so that it seou died. She thought nothing more of the event. however, until two or three p Ba afterwards. when her family, (consisting of herself, husband and three daugh- ters. ) after having breakfasted off the meat, were taken with a violent vomiting, the sickness last- jaz oue hour and a half, with theexception of one of the young ladies, who partook of the meat sparingly caasing a slight nansea. The sickness Was so peeuliar it reminded her of the wasp, and she thinks when the meat burnt him he stung it by way of revenge. and thus imparted sufficient Poison to occasion the sickness { A serious accident occurred on the Hyer at Milwaukie, on Monday evening last, by which a namber of men lost their lives.

He first attack- ed a child’s wagon, in which was an infant child of Andrew Il. Ward, completely demol- ishing the wagon. The infant was thrown out, but escaped with only a shock and some bruises. Its preservation from death was remarkable, a3 it bears the marks of the horn of the bull over under the chin, completely abrad- — in. he furious animal next made an attack upon Mrs. Damon, striking her with much force on the back and basil 2 her violently upon her face on the oa © was severely bruised, but it is believed bas escaped serious injury. The bull attempted to trample upon Mrs. Da- mon, but fortunately jumped over her. IJlis attention was then attracted to Mr. Samuel Kilborn, who luckily cseaped his onset by Jumping over a fence. ¢ bull then rushed furiously up the street, followed by a number of persons, at the head of whom was F. W. Bacon, Esq., a gentleman who resided several years in Cuba, and who is familiar with the mode of managing euch ani- mals in that bull-baiting country. Just as the animal turned to make an onset upon him he planted a blow with a stone between his eyes, which checked him in his career, and with as- sistance from others the furious animal was se- cured. Mr. Bacon is a justice of the peace, and this was his first arrest. He took charge of the animal, and held him subjected to any claims whieh might be made for the damage he had caused. The ape who wes driving the bull disappeared when he learned that Mr. Ba- con was a magistrate. ‘ Fost Htr1—the picturesque castle on the Hud- son, near Yonkers—recently the residence of wig Forrest, Esq., the actor—was the scene of an nansnal ceremony on Wednesday last—Archbish- ©» Hughes laying the cornerstone, on the grounds wit. t to the eastle, of the new convent of St. Vincent de Pant.
