2 sir, do those who maintain that reflection it contains—(hear, hear)—that the government is so bad that it cannot find in the whole a faithful body to defend it against insurrection? they have the Swiss troops; but they say, “The Swiss, = would join the insurgents.” The Swiss who are faithful to the tyrannical government of Naples—who stood by their employors in that State with a fidelity which, in fact and in truth, was praiseworthy, although, perbaps, mis- applied in that particular case (a laugh )—are we told that even they will not stand by the ne eG in the event of an insurrection? Why, sir, if be 80, itis the greatest condemnation which can be passed upon the go- verpment of Rome; but that that government is so bad nei- ther native nor foreigner in its pay can be induced tosupport its authority is no reason why France and Austria should be there to maiatain it. (Hear, hear.) {at it is said that these are Catholic Powers, and that it is their duty to sup port the head of their religion. Why, s'r,am J to be wold that it is essential to the jactical ant spiritual authorety Of the head of a large secticn«f the Christian Church that a government should ve maintained which is s0 bad that it con- demuns two or three millions of its subjects, fom to generation, to civil and political martyrdm? That is a libel ‘upon the Catholic church (hear, bear); and go far from thinking that the maintenance of such a government is any advantage to that church, I am persuaded that a re- form of the administration of the Roman State would be beneficial both to itself and to the Catholic religion. In- deed, I bave beard it seriously argued that I,as a Pro- testant, ought not to endeavor to procure an improvement in the administration of Rome, because the bad character which the Ronan goverpment bas obtained is an advantage to these who differ from tho Roman catholic belief, I can- pot see that that is any reason why a Protestant should not, wish for an improvement in the temporal arran;>wents of the Roman states (hear, hear); but [am sure that it is an additional reason why every good Catholic ought to desire such an umaprovement, (Bear.) Well, then, 1 this is at the bottom of toe differences which bave led to these military preperations—and I am myself unable to see any cause except this mutual jealousy between France and Austria—I say that the government of Great Britain is in a position in which it may be able, by the exercise of its good vilices and the intlucnce of its sound advice, to ren- der moet important services to Earope. We are in inti- mate alliance with the goverument of France, we are on the best possible terms with the government of Austria, Neither of these goveruments can suspect the motives which may actuate us in the endeavor to produce an ace ion; weither of them can believe that we should advige it to take any step which would be incon- istent with its honor or would impair its dignity; and, therefore, both must be willing to accept our counsels in the spirit in which they are given. Whether they adopt them or not depends upon their own disposition, but there can be po reason to prevent the go- vernment of this country taking such steps in negotiation as they may think calculated to avert the evils of a gene ral war; add I cannot but hope that her Majesty’s gover ment is’ taking the course which may produc! a re- sult, (Hear.) Wo all know toat Austria has certain treaties wish the Those treaties, I believe, contain engageme: t= uis—one to protect them against external ag. ni Une other in certain casea to afford them ine: Nobody woud ask Austria to forego the first of thes» engagements.

We have our en- gagements with Portogal—Austria may justly have li engagements of the saine sort with some of the Italian States. But the other engagements, thoee which go to interference in th airs of the States, are such as Austria might, with perfect honor, and perfect dignity, put an eud Wo; these engagements cease 1am atraid that momentary evacuation by France and Austria would be an act that woula produce no per- manent effect. Unies: patablished that te French troops and the 1 puld go away, never to return, except in Ue case of foreign war, the mere momentary evacuation wouid be of no permanent avail. (Hear, hear.) Sir, I know it is urged that these States, especially the Roman es, say, “For Heayen’s sake, don’t leave us; because, if you du,’ we shail be liable to the greatest disasters.” Why, that is very like a story that we haye ail heard of « ‘nobleman, a relative, I be- lieve, of a member of this House—a generous aud kind- hearted map—who, walk ay in the Park, was accosted by a laborin , Who, telling a piteoas tale, said, “if your ¢ don’t assist me I shall be driven. to desperat 0 that which nothiag but despair wou to do.” fho noble man gave bim balf a crown, and then, retiring a tow steps, said, “ Now, my good man, what was it that you, com- suate should feel it its interest would have done if I had not relieved you?” “Why sir,” replied the man, “cannot you guess it? I should have been compelied to go and ask tor work, and nothing but the depth of despair would drive me to vomumit such an act.” (Great lavghter,) So gay te Roman govern- ment, “For Heaven's sake don’t leave us, for if you do the greatest of al jamities will befall us; and if you were to calamity is, they would, ifthey told the treth, reply, “Why, we should be compelled to retorm our administration (cheers), and that is what we should consider the gi of all possi- Die calamities." For my part, I think that they ought to be left to that greatest of all possible calamities (hear, hear), and that any arrangement which would be calcu: laied permanently to secure the peace of Kurope must be founded, firet of all, upon the retirement of foreign troops from the centrai States of Italy (hear, hear); next, upon the engagement that they shonid, under no circumstances, go back again; and, thirdiy, upon an en deavor, by friecdly advice, to procure an ‘improvement in the administration of those States, (Hear, hear.) Io tendering that advice we should not be doing it for th first time. In 1832 England, France, Austria, Russia ai Prussia all united to give good advice to tue Roman gov ernment. It is unneceesary to go into the details of th counsel; but it was advice which, if taken, would ha afforded contentment to the bulk of tke Roman people and would bave rendered unnecessary many tings wich have occurred since. Ido not mean to say that any re- forms or any alterations would eutirely and cilectuaily prevent desperate men from raising occasional disturb ances, The best governments are eubject to those incon- age garden rebellion nad lian revoit; we have of the people being government under which they lived, these temporary loca! and partial disturbances have beed put down by Uiertroag band, and no danger has been in- curred by the institutions of the country. (Cheers.) So would it be u Rome if a good andenlightened system of ad: ministration were cstablished. There migbt be desperate men who here and ther ce distarbauces, bat the bulk of the peopie be contented with tue gov- eroment, aud uo serio would thereby occur to the State. Well, sir, I would therefore venture to submit, as an individual opinivn, that if her Majesty’s government were to succeed in obta ning frou Austria and France, by negotiation, by friendiy « Roman States, and an ¢ they would not return, 1 then 4 selves to the four Powers, aod uuite in a repetition of that which took place unfruitfully ia 1532—an endeavor by friendly counsels to procure provement in the condition, not only of Rome, but States of Italy, az would secure ihe futare tranquillity of those countries. At all events, waether auch efforts were successful of uot, the British government would have done its duty, and would stand acqu whatever might be the consequences. (Cheers.) Well, then, sir, in the interests of peace I make the appeal w the right bon. gentleman and his colleagues. I have chosen this opportunity of do- ing it, because I felt that the spring was coming on fast, that the period for commercial enterprise on the one hand, and for military operations on the other was pearly ap- proaching, and that delay might expose me to the imputa- tion of gupineness, (Hear, heor.) I felt that no one would blame me for taking this step so soon; that many might justly find fault with me for having delayed it so long (bear, hear) ;but that this was a peculiarly fiting mo- ment to do it, because, when the House is about to enter into, the consideration of those estimates which are intend- ed t0 provide for the defence of the country, we are enti- tled to know how wo stand with regard to the prospects of the coming summer (choers)—whether we are to expoet to see a confingration involving all the countries of Europe —for +f the flame tuyins in one corner there is no say- 30 of the other smaller ing that i may” not over Ue whole surface of the continent—whether, in the opi. nion of Her Majesty’s government, we are to expect a state of things which, if it occurs, may, no doubt, render it necessary for this country to collect 18 strength and to watch events, in order that it may be prepared to exercise ita iniluence where it would be most effectual; or whether, on the contrary, there is such an appearance of the approach of tranquillity that we may look only to what would, under ordinary circumstances, be the peace estab. lishmenta of the country, always securing that reserve which a wise government would mainsain in order to be Prepared for unforeseen circumstances. (Hear, hear.) I think, therefore, the government will see that in the spirit in which I have made these observations there is no desire to embarrass, no party feeling—(cheers)—but that I ara giving them an opportunity, which, perhaps, they could not with propriety have sought of thelr own accord, for calin- ing—if they are able to do #o—the public anxiety in regard to the state of affairs on the Continent. (Hear, hear.) If it should please the government to say that communications are going on which would render it impossible for the Consistently with the public interests to make any state- ment at all, I, of course, would be the last man who would not accept such a deciaration on their part. Ishould infer from it, on the contrary, that their hopes prepon- derate over their fears, (cheers), and should certainly not way or do anything which might tend to prevent the ac- complishment of the object wo all have in view. (Cheers). Sir, that being all T have to say, I can only add that I have chosen this particular occasion becanse I feo! that any great discussion upon matters which we banging in 80 nice a balance might be inconvenient to the public interests. I have, therefore, not given notice of a motion for any 18; [have not chosen a day on which ‘any lengthened discussion could arise; but I have purpose. ly sele an occasion when this house ig anxiously wait- ing to hear the statement of the Firat Lord of the Admiralty upon a matter of the utmost national importance, and when, therefore, the few observations which | have made will pro- bably draw some statement from the right houorabie er opposite, but when they are not calculated to lead to a general discussion (hear, hear); for it raust be obvious to all that, with the different views which many gout — take of {hese questions, and with i eg ‘lormation which we possess, things might bo said that n) cbt tend to thwart the very objects which we all have uw heart.

[Paris Correspondence of Le Nord, Feb. 19.] Foglish diplomacy, Austrian and Prussian, peraists in taking op the Roman question, in the hope of’ adjourning ‘the question of Lombardy. Letters from Vienna and Bor- lin agree on the missisn of the Duke of Coburg, who is to effect an arrangement touching the Roman States. They are to be evacuated by the French and Austrian troops; a third Power disintere#ted in the question, as Spain, for example, wil! undertake the maintenance of order in’ the States of the Pope. Their reorganization would be after- wards submitted to a conference of the great Powers. I cannot regard this plan seriously, though it bas pasaed from Vienna to Berlin, and, we are informed, adopted by London, Paris and St. Petersburg. The first thing necessary would be the conaent of the Pope, and that is precisely what has been silently paseed over by the inventors of these tive pro- jects." Since the famous map, whose origin, Engiish or not, is an enigma for Rif heg rng’ perhaps for the inhabitants of Vienna, we are jeged byan epi- demic of reformers, who arrange the world to their tastes. The Berlin correspondent of the above journal coudrms the rumor about the evacuation of Rome. ¢ He gays: As the Pontificial States cannot be divested of troops, they will have recourse to the expedient of confiding the occupation of the strong places to a Spanish division, for the maintenance of which Austria and France will con- tribute one-half and the Pope the other. This expedient is not a thing of to-day. It was proposed in 1849, and it has no more chance of being adopted to-day than’ at that time, But that is not the difficulty. ‘THE COMING CONFERENCE. It is now understood that the Conference so frequently alluded to in the foreign papers, was to assemble about the beginning of the present month. The expectation that tho Italian question Would be introduced in this first con- ference, seems likely to be disappointed. The double clec- tion of M. Cousa by the inhabitants of Moldavia and of Wallachia, is said to be the only subject that the represen- tatives of the great Powers can enter upon. The Porte and Austria are opposed to the confirmation of his election; France and England are éatisfled that the electors of both States had the right to elect the same person for prince over both, and tho other Powers are supposed to share their opinion. The war question in Italy seems not to be ventilated, and is, therefore, to be reserved for another conference; meantime, the sword may do ite work. PU®LIC OPINION IN.

The article terminates with ‘he assurance that peace can only be obtalaed on condi- (.ong—none expressed, ‘Fhe Cuban Slave Trade, ITS BFPROTS ON THR BRITISH SUGAR COLO BROUGTAM’S OPINION OF ITS CO! FLUBNOES. In the House of iords on the 16th of February the clerk atthe table read the terms of an address to Ler Majesty agreed to by their lordships in August, 1839, Praying her Majesty vo uae all hor giyrts with forcign ~LORD ING IN- exertions through governments aud stances: Petition was similar to one which had seasion by the right reverend prelate Oxford), and was adopted at a Spanish Town, and attended chiefly by free experienced the benetite of our duct in regard to slavery, The petition, formed on the most reliable authority, had upwards of 800 persons, principally people of it was a circumstance worthy of notice that out number only two or three had been obliged to the expedient of using a mark for the purpose ture. One of fasd phen tortepe, qu forth by petitioners was the troduction of slave-grown. their markets; and, while adverting to ‘that might take the opportauity to state that, al his right reverena friend opposite (the Bishop had been held up to odium as to rest of the people of the West Indies, they had al during the great discussions which bad taken place up: the subject maintained that the luce of free labor wi entitied to protection against grown sugar. The petitioners also catered at | into an enumeration of the other evils connected with the ex- istence of the slave trade in Caba and Porto Rico; dwelt upon the sufferings which it entailed, and concluded by beseeching their lordahtps to use every means in their power to put au end to the nefarious traffic, Justice and the faith of treaties, which, since 1820, had been scandal ously violated, demanded that some ateps should be taken with that view. But it was not by treaties aloae that the Spanish government had siguified its desire to abolish the slave trade, Ithad, in 1845, given its assent to a law— not, indeed, making the traffic piracy—but declaring it to be unlawful, and those who engaged in it liable to punish- ment. Tho manner, however, in which the goveramen: of Spain kot merely connived at, but he might almost say encouraged the evasion of that law, was somewhat re- markable, The observance or non obser of its pro- visions depended almost entirely upon the churacter and disposition of the particular person who happened wo be chosen to fill the office of Captain General of Cuba for the time being. One of them, Valdez, whose conduct was upon the whole entitled to great approbation, commenced hig administration by allowing the law to which he (Lord Brougham) had just referred to remain in ubeyance for six months, declaring that at tue end of that timo it should be enforced. The consequence had been that the slave trade hati become greatly augmented during that brief period, But, be tba. as it might, General Vandez bad, at its expiration, redeemed his pledge, and had succeeded in putting down the trafile, 30 far as by moans of a legal enactiacnt that desirable result could be accomplished, The very year after the law had for the drst time been vigorously put into operation, the Slavers trading with Cuba had been reduced from 53, which the annual average number, to 3; while the pumber of negroes imported into the colony uad dwindled down from 14,000 or 15,000 to&etween 2,000 and 3,000 per aonom. Such was the change which a single man was able w effect, apd be had no doubt that if General Valdez had continued Governor of Cubu for some time longer tha slave trade in that quarter would have been enticely sup- pressed. Such, however, had not been the case, and it was abundantly proved by official documents that the Go- vernors by whom he was succeeded, and who were for the most part men of ruined fortunes, had Leen selected’ for the ofice by the Spanish government with a view that they might recruit their slender resources by means of gain acquired by the dave trade, it being confidently assert- ed that one of them had amasied wm that way no less o sum than £90,000 or £100,000 in the four or fixe years during which’ he held the’ position of Captain General. It was such persons, therefore, who had the greatest interest in keeping up the trailic, for so far as the plaaters of Cuba were concerned the great majority were opposed, inasmuch as slaves being introdaved invo the island for the purpese of cultivating the new lands were the cause of having a large additional supply of sugar brought into the market, and as a consequence tended by their labor to diminieh the profits of the plauter. He might also ob- serve that the Spanish, independently of their having con- nived at the slave trade, bad been guiity of fraud in falsi- fying the returns of the vumber of negroes who had been imported into Cuba. It appeared, cuder the provisions of the act of 1845, that the crews of slavers which happened to be seized by the custom house officers, instead of being liberated at ouce upon their capture, were compelled to serve an indentured apprenticeship of five years. At tie end of the five years for which this apprenticeship was to continue the negroes were taken to piantations up the country aud were kept in slavery, notwithstanding the ex- Piration of the period for which they were bound, and in deflance of the law on the subject. Now, he was very far from saying that we should remind the Spanish govern- ment of the debt of gratitude, never to be repaid, under which they bad been laid by us for their defence during the Penwenlar war. Some persons would say that kindness and beneficence often induced short memories, aud io pri- vate life wn individual who had rendered you a great ser- vice and reminded you of that service did the most inde- licate, not to eay intolerable thing of which mortal man was, perbaps, capable. ‘Toa certain degree, though not entirely, the same might be said of a State; Dut there was another reason for not committing this indolivacy, which Wos that toe Spaniards denied the cept to a great ‘extent, and maintained that they worked out their own Iiberation trom France. They might as weil fo'get what happened on the day of which (hs was the anniversary, the great battle of St. Vincent, where they were im league with France, and with France underwent 4 defeat, as choose to Orget the obligatioos which they owed to tne arms and the counsels of this country. But it was not upon an: eeling ot this kind that be would rely. As Sir z Wal pole said that gratitude consisted in a lively gemee of fa- vors to come, so he (Lord Brouguam) would rather im. press on the S;anish goverum at @ persistence in their present policy ought to excite a lively sense of risks aod fears for the future. The Spanish government ought to be made distinctly to understand that we had in our hands the means of effectually putting down the siave trade, and of effectually and sub- stantially reileving our own subjects and part of theirs by refusing to admit their sla grown sugar upon the same terms as our free-grown Sogar. A suggestion of that kind would not, he conceived, be thrown away. There were agreat many other sub: Jects mentioned by these petitioners, but he would only allude to that of immigration, which had recently un- dergone discussion. He hoped and trusted that some means would be found by which the question of immigra- tion could be placed on a satisfactory footing. The mis- wag that all the material facts connected with the were matters of dispute, some persons, for in- maintaining that there was no want of labor r, aud others that a supply of labor was absolute- ly necessary. The whole question was one det s inquiry, aud he would suggest the eee of appoint- ing a committee of their tordships’ House to investigate it, together with the measures which had been led. in the colonies themselves for obtaining that supply. He was sure that such a committee would otherwise be ap- pointed in the other House, and he was satisfied that from their lordships’ mode of conducting these as, it would be better that they should take it into ir own hands. The noble and learned lord apologized for havin, detained their Jordships so Jong on a subject which for it petit i gE BEE i i & ; i & feel SE gE = gf = BS i i a! i years and upwards had most deeply interested him, and concluded by presenting the petition.

BVIDENCE ON WHICH 8HE WAS CONDEMNED. (From the Savannah Republican, March 5.) ‘This notorious veasel has been condemaed by the Admiraity Court—Judge Nicoll presiding—as having been sales? in the slave trade, contrary to the laws of the United States. The test! which procured her condemnation was embraced mainly in the depositions of Horatio Harris and James Clubb. The former testified that on the 28th of November, 1858, he was on Cumber. land Island, at the lighthouse; that two men came there in a boat in the evening of that day; that one introduced himself as Captain Cole, und then introduced the other as Mr. Brookson; that the former said he was on a pleasure excursion, and wanted a pilot to take his ship, then out. side of the bar, to Jeyk! Island, in order to take on board some goutlemen; that he (Harris) went with Cole to Jekyl Isiand, when a conversation was held in which Cole ia- formed bim that his real name was Captain Corrie, of the yaebt Wanderer, just from Congo river, on the coast of Africa, with a cargo of 400 Africans, and that ne wanted a pilot to bring bis ship in, Witness then procured for him Mr. Clubb to act as pilot, and the foliowing day, after Ciubb had brought the Wanderer in, he returned to the vessel, and, in connection with others, carried ber up tothe mouth of the Little Satilla river, and toere left ber; he then returned to Jekyl Island, where be saw from three to five hundred negroes, Mr. Clubb testified that on the night of the 28th of No- vember, 1858, he went on board the Wanderer, then jying outside of St. Andrews’ bar, with a persoa who calicd nimeelf Captain Cole; that at daylight the following day got the vessel under weghand ran dowa to the bar, aud came in and got up to Jekyl Island, and anchored near the beach; that they then commenced landing ne- groes there in boats; that at the time he went oa board ‘tbe Wanderer to pilot ber in he saw negroes on board, and was told by Captain Cole or Corrie that there were over 400 om board; that he saw about forty or tifty on deck, huddled together like pigs, and mostly naked; that the vessel smelt very bad, and bada great many cock- rouches aboard; that some of the negroes appeared to be gick, aud that after he got the Wanderer under weigh, coming over the bar, there was one dead negro whom they threw overboard, and that he saw one dead one on Jekyl Island aiter they were landed; that after the negroes were landed Captain Corrie requested him to run the Wanderer up to the mouth of tHe Little Satilia river, which he did, A number of charts found on board the Wanderer were also produced as testimony, showing the course of the vessel from Charleston, 8. ©., to Congo river and about the bd Coust of Africa, and from thence to Cumberland Island. By order of a decree in the Court of Admiralty the yacht Wanderer is now advertised to be sold here on Saturday, the 12th day of March. She is astaunch and trim little craft, of about 240 tons burthen, in first rate order, of unexceptionable model, and, as shown by her recent and early performances, a remarkably fast sailer. She was built somewhere near New York a few years since, and originally cost $30,000. ‘To those of the yacht- ing fraternity, or to speculators, the Wanderer offers an excellent opportunity for a good investment. She would likewiee be a valuable acquisition to the revenue service. The following notice of the sale appears in the Savan- nah papers:— UNITED STATES MARSHAL’S SALE.

STEWART, United States Marshal, District of Georgia. Elopement in Beston, [From the Boston Herald, March 7.] That portion of our city known as the ‘North Hind” is considerably agitated at the present time in view of a strange case of seduction and elopement whioh transpired last week. ‘The facts ag related to us are as follows:—In 1856 Mr. John 1D. Ingersoll, of No. 77 Charter street, then # widower, became acquainted with Miss Adeline L. Ames, who hailed from Delhi, Greene county, N. Y. Mr. 1. was pleased with the appearance and manners of the lady, aud £00n made proposais of marriage. He was an undertaker, and necged a heipmeet to charm away the melancholy in’ duced by bis profession. They were married by Rev. Mr. Smith on September 2, 1856, in Christ church, Salem street. Mr. Ingersoll took his new bride to his own house in Charter street, where they lived together till Wednes- a t, when he was made acquainted with the crushing intelligence that Mrs. I. had taken husband No. 2, aud de- parted for some other locality. It appears that the fickle woman became enamored of Mr. Geo. 1. Yeager, a young limb of the law who had been transacting some ‘business for her husband in collecting bills during an illness of the Jatter. Yeager is a young man and he sueceedod in ingragiating hitnseif into the affec- tions of Mrs. I. during his visits to the house to that extent that she consented to shake off the mortal coil which bound her to her first husband, and, in deliance of the law of which Mr. Yeager professed to be an exponent, to marry him, The seduction was effected during a week's iliness of Mr. Ingersotl; and Yeager procured a marriage certificate ou Monday’ last; by authority of which Rev. Phineas Stowe performed the marriage ceremony for the pair at his house in Baldwin place. After the ceremony tue lady returned to husband No. 1, and on Wednesday, on a plea that she wanted to visit her sister in Lowell, she left town. Husband No. 1 conveyed her to the cars, where husband No. 2 was probably lying perdue, and the guilty couple fled to parts unknown. It was not until Friday last that Mr. Ingersoll ascertained that his wife had obtained another husband; aud on Saturday he pro- cured some formidable documents aud started in hot pur- suit. Mr. 1 ik very good undertaker, but whether he ‘will overtake her remains to be seen. Yeager is about twenty-six years old, and resided in Cambridge; Mra. Ingersoil,is forty. She represented to her first husband, before marriage, that « large fortune was about to fall to her, and the same story may have been told to husband No, 2. The eloping pair carried off some money and papers of considerabie value belonging to Mr. Ingersoll. Suicide of a Hun; jan Lady tin Cincinnati. (From the Cincinnati Gazette, March 5.} A suicide, under remarkable circumstances, wok place in this city about six o'clock last evening. The history of the matter appears to be about as followa:— For a considerable time past a Hungarian, named Bma- nuel Gerrard, who keeps a segar store at No, 620 Vive street, had suspected his wife of an improper intimacy with a German physician. The familiar intercourse of the two was made the subject of neighborhood gossip, and had been industriously reported to the huspand. The doctor had been in the habit of visiting the store two or three times every day, and te husband had warned him that he must ceage his attentions, and he had not made bis appearance in the store since last Tuesday, Some time last week a letter written by the wife to the doctor, making an appointment to meet him at the Post Oflice On Sunday last, fell into the hands of her husband, and by his request an apprentice in his employ witnessed the meeting, and followed the parties about the street un. til the return of the wife to her residence. They did not Stop at any place of resort, but walked and talked for an hour or two. Yesterday evening the husband and the apprentice were sitting at a table in the segar store, engaged in manufac- turing, the wife occupying a chair between them, when Gerrard accused bis wife of adultery, An angry dispute followed, and *Mrs. Gerrard finally arose from hor seat, and, passing behind the counter, took down a loaded pis- tol hanging upon a nail, and walking back near her hus band, placed the muzzle to her right temple, and literally Wlew ‘the top of her head off. Her brains were scattered in every cirection—-over her husband, the show case of segars and table, and the sheives and boxes in the store, Of course instant death followed, Itappears that Mrs. Gerrard and her husband, before coming to thie country, occupied a very good social posi- tion, and the wife was descended from'a noble Hungarian family. They were both quict, orderly persons, Whether the act of self-destruction was caused by sbaino at the discovery by her husband of disreputable conduct, or by on ae at his accusations, can never of course be own. Mr. Gerrard is perhaps thirty-six years of ago, and his wife was about twenty-cight. E.orgmext an Ronury 1 In11N01s.—We have learned the particulars of a case of elopement and rob- bery in this county which evince a strange infatuation. It appears that Mr. Matthew Martel, who resides three miles from the eity, on the Kishwauleee road, went to Moltenry o., about three weeks ago, leaving behind him his wifo, two children, ® man named William Jon®, and a hi ‘woman. In Martell’s absence an pend intimacy sprung up between Jones and Mrs. Martell, which resulted in their Sy parte pnlcnowy on Saturday morning last, taking with both tho cMildron, all the money in the house, amounting to $40, a 4 Memes of clothing, bedding, nnd the like, Mr. Martoll returned on Saturday night 0 ind his home deserted, his children carried off, and his propérty stolen.
