A New and Singular Chapter in her History. {From the N.Y. Evening Post.] The excitement caused by the murder of Dr. Bardoll, at 31 Bond street, on the of Jan- nary 30, 1857, has scarcely a lin the criminal records of thiscity. The extraordi- uary circumstances of the affair; the relations whieh the inmates of the house sustained to the victim; the long and pedantic inquest of the oner; the went trial and acquittal of Mrs Cunniogbam for warder, and her aitem: to bring forward 2a to the Burdeil estate, for months e columns of the public prints, and were rand with absorbing anterest. * After the decision of the Surrogate, which denied the marriage of Mrs. Canningham to Ur. Burdell, and exetaded her from any share in his estate she disappeared from public view, and wothing has been beard of her except an oceasivual newspaper pars , one of which suncuneed her marriage r. — which at gentleman prowptly denied. Other para- graphs have rep: uted: her us living in fine riyle up town, while others have located her in New Jersey; others have married her youngest daughter, toa wealthy southern plauter, and others again have denied apy such marriage. The writer is in possession of « singula tury, whieh wili throw some ight p her recent movements and present posi- trom In Novewher last. young man g’ went lo the matrimonial office of Mrs. Jessie Willis, No. — West 43d street, in this city—an office which was started in the summer of 1858, sud has been quite extensively advertised. We copy the fullowing specimen of the adver- tivements from the New York Herald of Jan- uary 27th : “Mrs. Jessie Willis will give introductions to ladies and gentlemen with a view to matri- wony, at a ollize, — West Forty-third street. from 3 to S p.m. Parties suited; references required. Gentlemen’s fees $1; — free. Letters from the country must be id with return letter stampe. N.

She ist im faith, and on her table are spiritual mediums. gerald was undersiond ty have plenty of uta zs aud was — au Tepe see = y afternoon, but the young widow did not make her appearance according to sgreement. Mr. Fitzgerald waited near half an hour be- yeud the time fixed, and Mrs. Willis several times expressed her surprise that the lady did hot come, and finally said - “This lady is always so prompt. I fear she will not be hereto-day. If you chouge. how- ever, you ean wait 2 little longer; and if you would like to pass awny the time pleasantly, nasanbile. there isa widow now in the next room. to whom [ will introduce you, merely r a passing acquaintance. She is consider- ly ober than yourself, and [ do not suppose you would think of marrying her; but she is Higent and lively in conversation, and [ think you would be pleased with her.”’ Very well.” replied Fitzgerald; “let her come in; T shall be happy to see her.”” Mrs. Willis then retired to the adjoining a. th rlor in the rear, which comumuni- 4 ding dvors, and led in the widow. it happened that Fitzgerald was in New York at the time of Mrs. Cunningham's trial for murder, and having visited the court sev- erat times while it was in progress, retained a distinet recollection of the prisoner's features aud countenance. And when Mrs. Willis led ¢ woman into the room, he instantly recog- in her the same Mrs. Cunningham-Bur- dell whom he had seen in court. She was dressed in deep black, as she was during her t and had ona heavy veil of the same . which was thrown back over Ler hat. But her garments wore evident marks of time. snd she looked much older than when be saw ber a few months previous. Tt was perhaps with some difficulty that he »pressed an exelamativn or look of surprise ¢is sudden aud une ted ap tien; but uumediately it pa. ps him that he would feign ignorance. which might enable him to jearn something of her character, and perhaps y his own mind in relation to the awful tery connected with her history. ‘Be it known that the introductions of a mat- rimouial broker differ from introductions in general—in thatthe broker gives no names, an obscure ejaculation, which one might cibly think represented a name. but which be had not understood. Such was the intro- duction of Mr. Fitzgerald to Mrs. Cunningham, whereupon be arose and bowed in his politest winner. spending afew weeks in New York, i he, ‘* and baving seen Mrs. Wil- lis'« advertisement, it oeeurred to me [ might wake some pleasant acquaintances by calling here. I am bappy to see you, and trust our sequaintance will be mutually agreeable.” les. Cunningham gave Fitzgerald a pierving look, as if tosatisfy herself whether she had ever <cen him before; and of this he was per- fectly conse His self- ession, however, if shaken an instanton the first recognition. had fully returned. and he bore her serutin zing glance es without any exhi’ tion of anxiety. She replied that she regarded Mrs. Willis’s office an ution of great atility to « strangers, and remarked that there was. in her estima- tion, nothing imprope - Matrimonial offices, are very common in Paris; people think nothing of it there. But some of our Americans have an idea they are immoral. But that depends al- tugether upou the use people make of — Strangers who come here without any tances find it very convenient to be itrelacet into respectable families. where they ean en- joy seial advantages. and cecasionally pass a pleasant evening with friends That was my idea in coming here.” replied Fitzgerald. New York is pleasan the day thwe. when we can go about and see such a va- riety of things, but at night I often get tired of the Upera—tired of the theatre. and the ordi- ee amusements, and feel greatly the need of ont female society.”’ You are not married, then. I sappose ” Ub, no! Married men. [ take it, are hap- ry sud contented to stay at home.” Not always, replied Cunningham” “Many find themselves worse off than before.

If cusiom only pennitted separation when partics are dissatisfied, it might do.” When Fitzgerald uttered this sentiment, which a free-lover might easily construe in favor of his theory, he watched effect; and Conningham — hint a snother searching ‘louk ‘sud he thought her side glance the most devil- ich he had ever encountered. It was a mingled look. in which suspicion was predomi ant. “Tn the present state of society,’ she an- swered, ‘it would not do—I wean it ‘would be reganacd 4s wrong. Fitegerald perceived she had put the worst construction on his remark it would bewr, and replied: “Many things would be regarded as wrong by soeiety which, nevertheless, if earried out, might be for the good of suciety. Public vpin ion is not always # correct criterion.’ That is true.’ replied Cunningham. “T en- on that subjeet myself which I dare to make known to my friends, who could appreciate them. f he- for instance, that persons who xre not fitted to each other ought to be allowed to sep- arate whenever they chose; and I do not believe bred legal ceremony constitutes marriage ata Cunningham's intereating and liberal dis- course on marriage and divorce was here inter- tupted by the entrance of Mrs. Willis. the bro- ker, whe sat down between Fitagerald und Mrs. Cunningham. It was now twilight, the g2* had not been lit, and every thing in the room wore a gloomy aspect. The broker, as if impressed by the sombre spirit of the hour, be- gan imi ely to talk of ghosts and spiritual manifestations. “When I took a hotel to keep at the corner of Spring street, a few years ago,’ she com- menced, L had two excellent servant girls with me that [was anxious to keep, and, ia order to do so, retained th several days without anything to do, while I was waiting to begin in the hotel. “One afternoon one of them eame into the room says, ‘[ want to go over to a relative of mine, for L have just heard their little hoy is sick.” Very well. I told her. she could go Bat we had an old clock in the house which had stood on the mantle four years without stirring; and just as this conversation took place what should the old clock do but begin to strike, and it actuall, struck ten! The girl was frightened, and said she thought that it was & warning that the little bey, her cousin, was dead. and that he died atten o'clock. She har- ried right over there, and sure enough the ehild had died, just at that time.”* “You ve in spiritual manifestations, do you not,”’ said Fitzgerald. -Yes,"* replied Mrs. Willis. “Aa to that,’ said Fitzgerald, “I cannot ilosophy of the dead coming back esting themselves. J belicve that when a man is dead, he is dead, and do not think there are ghosts enough in the universe to make a clock strike. I believe the soul lives hereafter; Lut I have seen no evidence which convinees me it comes back again.”’ *I believe.”’ added Fitzgerald. in a solemn bed impressive tone, looking directly at Mrs. Canningham, “I believe the old maxim, that ‘dead men tell no tales.” Fitzgerald made this remark expressly to see what effect it — Leprosy and. as he uttered it, Mrs. Cuaningh: ave & nervous start, and sn fixed on ay the piercing side-glance, ich he thought so devilish. Her look seemed tos: a Did you intend that remark for me?” and he immediately changed the subject to pre- vent suspicion. The conversation which followed was on love and watrimony. and Frank asked her how long she had been a widow. +I have been a widow over Tour years— adenet five.” she answered. Shade of Dr. Burdell! thought Frank. where is this woman's story of having married a few months before the murder? +» And do you believe.”’ he asked her, * that & person can love more than once ! *Yes. I thiuk so,”’ she replied ; ‘* but I don’t ver had but one lover, and that was ried.”’ Frank again bethought him of the story she told when under arrest for murder—her pre- tended attachment for the d6etor—her claim that he was her second husband, and the attempt to get the estate. Mrs. Cunningham expressed the opinion that attachment does not always depend upon age, which, subsequent events convinced Frank, was intended ar an intimation that although she was several years hiv senior, an attachment was no} ossible. «It is adelicate question to ask a lady: I am aware, madame,” replied he, * but I should like to know your “Tam thirty- -two—have a daughter seven- tecn. I was married at fourteen. Mrs. Cunningham then went on to deseribe the pleasant social gatherings she had at her house; said they made it a point to entertain some of their friends every evening, play cards a little, dunce, perhaps, aud enjoy themselves generally. She further informed Frank that she had a large circle of aristocratic acquaint- ances, to whom she could introduce a friend. She finally «aid it was time to go home; that she lived only a short distance from there, and should walk. As it was quite dark and un- pleasant, Frank felt bound to offer himself as an escort. which offer was accepted. Before leaving. she went out and had a long consultation with the broker. which was car- ried on ina low tone. At length the broker came in alone, and whispered to Frank that the Indy was not averse to @ lover herself, and had taken a 6 to him; but charged hii by every thin bh and low not to intimate that she had w red such a thing to him, for she (Cunningham) knew nothing of it, and she (the broker) had Co xc it entirely of ber own motion. Cunningham soon after announced her readiness to go, and the two set out in com- pany. She went to the Fifth avenue and tarned down. Az they passed the palatial residences of that street, she would point out a hoase and say Mr. so-and-so lived there, and that she was an intimate friend of the family. Finally she paused before an elegant dwelling, and turned to the gate, as thou, i she intended to enter ; but suddenly tufned away, saying: “ [ hay sister living here. and intended to stop, but it is sv late I think on the whole I hot.” ‘The two walked on to Madison Park, and Frank began to feel fearful he should) moet some stray sequaint . of whom he had a number in that locality, and became exceed- ingly anxious to get rid of his charge. He therefore r» ‘marked that he bad an important engagement in Brocktyn, and feared he should be late. “ I have to go over the South Perry,” —_ log “aud 1 see there is a South Ferry ow vn uaa better take lt,”"s2id Mrs. Cunning- liw. ‘Ll only want to go arena to Lexington Avenue to make a call, aud can just asx we go alone. I have a friend there who will aecom- pany me home.” te is very ungallant,” said Frank, “to leave a i: ady alone in street at this hour; yet ifit wil! saat no difference with you, haste must sf will not make the slightest difference, I sure you. sir,” said Mrs. Cunningham; and © renewing his promise to meet her at Mrs. Wrtie” » the next Friday afternoon, he bade her good night.
