Another Turk. —William Phelan was bro’t
before the Police, charged with “ being in
stigated by the devil,” and marrying two
wives. His first love was a respectable wid
ow, tolerably stricken in year*, who kept a
boarding house in this city, and was doing
well. Phelan became smitten with her lar
} tier and sideboard, and soon ate her out of
house anil home, carried her into the coun
try, sold her property and abated in his
love, See.
This Musselman then marries another wo
man of 40, and treats her with the same
courtesy ; that is to say, spends her money
and beats her in the bargain, as she depo
j ses. The first wife goes to Boston ; the se
j cond invites her to come here, and by a pro
secution rid themselves of a troublesome hus
band. They both appear arm in arm, af
fectionately, at the Police Office, and swear
the peace agaoist this modern Tarquin, and
he is arrested. The first wife intercepting
some despatches, discovers that he has ano
ther wife in the old world, and it would
seem, from all circumstances, that Phelan
has got himself into a pretty kettle of fish,
and looks’quite foolish on the occasion of be
ing confronted by his pair of turtle doves.
Had he been in a humour for singing, he
might have chaunted a stave from the old
ballad :
“ How happy could I be with either,
“ Were ’totlier dear charmer away.”
Mr. John Hoffman, a farmer in Cites*

riage, supposed to have taken place
under circumstances of constraint, pro
duced melancholy, and led to his un
fortunate end. He has left three 9011 s.

FEMALE DUELLING.
Yesterday, says a French paper of
Saturday; a duel took place between
two ladies in the Forest of Boulogne.
Two shots were exchanged. The quar
rel terminated as u«ual at a restora
tur’s, near the Porte Maillot. Motives

this hostile meeting.
