TH* ILLI NG STORY.
An extraordinary Story is told by
Capt. Wallace, of a lover and his
mistress, who were saved in a singu
lar manner from the jaws of a shark
A transport of a regiment on board
' was sailing with a gentle breeze
along the coast of (’eyion; one Qf
the olhcers was leaning over the
poop railing, conversing with a
jyoung lady who had inspired him
with the tender passion. The fair
one was in the cabin, in the act of
handing a paper to her lover, when,
over-reaching herself, she fell into
the sea, and, suported by her clothes
drifted astern; the oflicer lost no time
ingoing in after her, upheld her with
one arm. The sails were quickly back
ed the ship lay to. and preparations
weiemadeto lower a boat, when,
to the dismay of all on board, a large
shark appeared untler the keel of
the vessel, and was gliding towards
his victims
A shout of terror from the agon
ized spectators, called the attention
of the oilicer to the approaching dan
ger; he saw the monster’s fearful
length nearing him; he made a des
perate effort, plunged and splashed
ihe water to frighten the shark, who
turned and dived out of his sight.
I he current had now carried the of
ficer and the lady close to the vessel,
when the shark appeared the secon.i
time, and w sin the act of turning on
his back to one —of the hapless pair,
when a private of the oilicer’s com
pany, who was standing iu the ham
mock nettings, jumped fearlessly
overboard with a bayonet in his
hand, which he plunged in the back
of the shark, who instantly disap
peared, and the three were released
from their perilous situation.
A Startling Incident.
An English lady, accompanied by
her husband and a party ot friends, |
was riding one day along a very rug
ged part of the coast. As she was
only a temporary resident, she was
mounted on a hired horse, the own
>er o! the steed attending as usual, m
the capacity of groom and guide.
Near a very steep part of the cliff,
the horse took fright, and fell with
|herover the precipice, where both
were instantly lost to sight amidst
the trees and bushes. The entire
party instantly dismounted, and in
dread and dismay hurried after ttie
unfortunate su’ erers. The Italian,
from knowing the road, was the first
to reach the bottom, where the El g
. libhon arriving, found him screaming
land lamenting over the dying steed,
I abusing all the saints in the calender
lor having killed the horse of a good
Catholic instead of breaking the
necksol a party of arch heretics.;
'I o all inquiries about the lady he
was as deaf as a post, continuing on
ly his Italian screams, prayers, and
imprecations; but no sooner had he
been told that liis horse should be
paid ior, than, thanking'St. Jaeuari
us for his generosity, he very quietly
turned round, and, pointing to the
right, said, with all the coolness in
the world, ‘ h, if it is only the lady
you are looking tor, she hanging
in that tree; and so indeed she was.
Her dress had got entangled in the
brant lies of the tree, by which her
fall had been broken and tier life
preserved, though at the expense of
i some severe fractures, that for ma
ny months confined her to a bed of
sickness and danger.”
Borrowing a Knocker —“Why
vou’d better knock the door down!
—what do you v ant 1” “Och my
darling! don’t let me wake any of
your family ; I’m jist usin your knoc
ker to wake the paple next door: I’m
locked out d’ye see, and they’ve niv
er a knocker—rap! rap! rap!”
Wives and Sisters. —A deal of
mischief and misery is not unfre
quently occaMoned in families, by
the interference of relations between
man and wife; and in many instances
the unhappiness of a married cou
ple’s existence is owing to the weak
ness of the wife, and the malignity or
mistaken kindness of her friends. A
woman should look upon her hus
band as =.er only friend ; and, in all
cases wherever he differs with any
branch of her family, she should as
sume it as a fact, that fie is in the
right, and govern herself according
ly. Whenever any one whispers a
tale to her, derogatory to her hus
band, she should look upon the tale
bearer as the enemy of herhappiness
in the first place : and m the second
place, as a despicable and imperti
nent person, as Miss Pardoe says,
in the subjoined extract when a wo
man marries, she should give up her
heart feelings, fancies and opinions
to her husband, and never allow a
sister’s influence to be superior to
his. For the joy, tranquility and
comfort of her existence is < epend
ant upon her husband; and, if they
cannot live in amity together, they
will look in vain for comfort or re
spectability in any of the other rela
tions of life.— Mirror.
“There is a degree of intimacy
and communion of thought and fee
ling exisiing between sisters that
cannot remain unbroken after mar
riage. Pure and beautiful as is the
tie ol sisterhood, it is not right that
it should continue in all its strictness
and exclusiveness when marriage
has divided them ; for the husband
has still stronger claims upon his wife
and it is impossible this can exist un
injured if the tie ot sisterhood is re
tained in all its former power.”
From the N. F. Daily Advertiser, June 8.
\CQUITT\L OF ROBINSON.
Judge Edwards charged the Jury
at gr< at h*nghlh, recapitulating the
testimony, instructing the Jury up
on points of law, and the inferences
to be made from the various facts
and circumstances which were de
veloped in the course of the trial.
He charged them particularly in
reference to the testimony of the
dissolute females, who had given
evidence iu the case; directing them
that whenever the testimony of rs.
Townsend, Emma French and ICliz
abetli Salters, came in collision with
that of reputable witness, the former
should be set aside and disregard
ed.
At half past 13 o’clock, the Jury
retired; and in 15 minutes thereaf
ter returned into Court with a ver
dict of MITGCILTV.
'The annunciation ol the verdict
was followed by a simultaneous
bur't of cheers from the spectator.
From the moment of the arrest of
the prisioner, up to the awful mo
ment when the Jury was to pro
nounce upon his life or death, he
never Let: ayed thelslightest emotion.
When the Jury returned to the
Court with their verdict, the prison
er was directed to stand up and look
upon ihe juriors. He did so, with
an undaunted front; nut no sooner
were the words “not guilty,” pro
nounced by the foreman, than he
sank overpowered by his feelings
upon the neck of his venerable fath
er, and wept like a child.
The court then direi ted that the
prisioner be discharged; by proclaxna--
