Almost every chain of his after tiumght* is linked at seme point to the magical circle which bounds his yonth’s ideas ; and even when latent, and in no degree known, it is -till present affecting every feeling and every fancy, and giving a bent cf its own to all our words and our dr< dr. I have hexrd a story of a girl who was captive to an Easiein prince, and wore upon her ancles a light golden •ring. She L anted to lore her master devotedly, and was -as happy as she could bo in his love. Adored, adorned, and cherished, she sat beside hiin one day iii all the pomp of Eastern state, when suddenly her eye fell upon the gold en ring round her ancle which custom had rendered so light, that i.e hid forgotten it altogether. The tears in stantly rose in her eyes ar she looked upon it, and bet lov er divii ing at once, asked with a look «f reproach, “Would you be free!” She cast herself upon his bosom and answered, “ Never 1” Thus, often the links that bind os to early scenes and places, in which we have passed happy or unhappy hours, are unobserved and forgotten,' till some casual circurn stance'turns our eves thitherward. But if any one should ask us whether we would sever that chain, there is scarce ly one fine mind that would not also answer, Never !

The evil* of other days are forgotten; the scenes in which these days are remembered, detatched from the sorrows that checkered them, and the high misty light of life’s first sunrise still guilds the whole w ith a glory not its own. It is not alone, however, after long years have passed away, and crushed out the gall from sorrows endured, that fine ami enchanting feelings are awakened by the scenes in which our early days have gone by, and that the thrift of association is felt in all it’ jnyfcdnesS acting as an antidote '• paivaons sorrows whirl: rtftr i mingle with our cup.

Even in the simple businesof refreshing ourselves with a good breakfast, we employ or censume tl.e products of many regions. The tea we drink comes from China, or perhaps it i» Mocba coffee, from Arabia; the sugar with which we sweeten if, from the West In lies; our porcelain cups and saucers' were probably made io France; the silver spoon with' which each is provided, once lay dark and deep io the mines of South America; the table itself is mahogany, I from Jamaica or Honduras; the table cloth was tuanufac- \ tured from a vegetable production iu Ireland; the tea-pot ! is probably of English block-tin; and tbe steel of which j the knives are wrought may have come from Germany or j Sweden; the bread is made of wheat raised ptobably in ! Michigan; and the butter, if particularly good, must have come, a Philadelphian would say, from tho neighborhood . of hi* own city. If we are in tbe habit of eating relishes i ala breakfast, we discuss perliapa a beefsteak f rom Ohio 1 or a piece of smoked salmon from Maine, or it may be a ! han ing hout Scotland. Or suppose we take so very use less a personage as one of the fopliugs, whose greatest j pleasure is in tbe decoration of their pr isons, and whose I chief employment is to exhibit themselves at stated hours, J in Broadway, for the admiration of the ladies—and see ! how many lands arc called upon to I'm ni di the nice equip ment* of his dainty person. His bat is made of fur, bro’t thousand* ui m lesfrum tbe uortii-west coast of America, or from an island in the South Atlantic Ocean; his fine Aiincn is from Ireland, inwrought with cambric from Bri- ' ti’h India; in the bosom glitters a diamond from Brazil, I •>r pcihaps an opal from Hungary; his co it is snxonv wool m ule into cloth in England, and it is lined w ith silk from ■ Italy; his white waistcoat is of a fabiic wrought in France; ' tbe upper leathers of ids morocco boots have come from ' Barbary, and tho soles ate made of a hide from South America. His white hand, covered with kid leather from Switzerland, jauntily bears a little c ute, made of whale- ; bone from the Pacific, the agate brad of which was bro’t [ from Germany, and front Lis neck is suspended a very un- ! necessary c;. c-glass, the gulden frame of which is a native | of Ai'riett. His handkerchief is perfumed with scents of! Persia, ami the delicate mustache that shades his upper ! lip, has been nottrtshed by a fragrant oil from the distant ■ East, or by the fat of a bear that once roamed for prey ! amid the wastes of Siberia; whilst its jetty blackness has; been probobly artificially bestowed, by the application of i tho same Turkish dye that gives its sable hue to the mag- | nificent betlid of the sublime Sultan. 1 hus we find that every country has its peculiar pro- } duds ; that the pcssrs»ion and the use of these are nrces- j sary, or at least desirable to the full enjoyment of exis- 1 i.- a C, and that men are stimulated by the wish for that i possession, to pass Irom cli-nate to climate, and from re- i gton to region, and th is establish intercourse between all 1 I: r na’ions of the earth. But the mere act of visiting I d s aut countries will not suffice tn gain possession of the j things that are desirable. These are generally either ab , solutely provided, or else prepared for use, by the people ; of the coimtry-to which they are peculiar, and something i is yet to be dwur, in order to effect their transfer from the | hands of those people to the hands of the strangers who I come in search of them. Speaking is general terms, we j may wav, that there are but two modes of effecting such ! transfer. One is, taking them by force, the other gain- ! ing them byway of exchange for some equivalent which j is desirable to the original owners. The first mode take* 1 the nsme of robbery, or of war, according to circu.-jtun- < ccs, the latter is simply commerce. M hen c.mmerce is carried on bet- it . en na ,:^ s . tng an equal or near y an j o| - f lv ; |iz;i ?; 0 t', ” n °J’* rtl •" 3r!V '-nevulent motive or beuifieent r< s.t .on c...nt s‘ , e> q'j ie transactions are of mutual ( »nv< nu nee f ati(J tnat H j| the case is different " 1 * r ' tl< commerce is' between nations, one of which is ■•li.'zed, and the other immersed tn barbarism. The civ di/cd torvigiur bestows upon the barbarous native some . thing mere than the mere articles of utility, which he ex change* fat tiie merbhandize of the latter. Those arli i ctes are ot necessity, such as the barbarian need* tsa make him mere comlo:table; they are garments, better and more co»vetiH-nt thin he can provide for himself, or im plements which facilitate his labor; or household utensils wtiich improve his domestic condition, or weapons that give him better protection against his enemy; soreu thing, in short, to elevate his standard of comfort; and this ele ration we ha»e axcetiained to be the first and iwdispensa ; ble Sep in tint progress to civilization. Thus, then, it ap pears, that commerce is an agent, and a most powerful agent, meliorating n»t only the physical, but the moral and intellectual condition of mankind. i It is *o ot necessity, at.d without reference to the mo i lives or intentions us parties. No matter whether tbe en ligl.t -nod European send his ship to the tawney and sav- I age native of an island in the Pacific, with the mere be ; nevoient purpose of conveying to him, as donations, those I ptO'.hicts ot European art, which will enlarge the circle of ; iiis comforts and his pleasJtes, or seeks to gain, in ex ; change lor them, the fish, or the shells, or skins, which the i ode skill ot toe islander enables him to collect for barter; i the advMfttsge tn the«,avage is the same. He acquires tbe knowledge of those iiew and additional comforts, and with the knowledge comes lire desire for increased possession. He f ss made the first step towards civilization. V, iten Captain Cook was proseculirfh his voyages of discover}’ in tbe Pacific Ocean, lie left at every island which Ire visited, fowls, sheep, hogs, and the seeds of veg- I i'idb’es; and in so doing, he rendered a valuable service I o the ignorant inhabitants. But the captain of tha tner i chant ship tenders a service not less valuable, who now [visits thesa islands, and exc.hangcs w ;,t - •>'•• W-'*-’’ I .; v , , , ,*iiCT, ploughs, ahrTofliet •iselm mi|dementi, Wffle beef and pork which they have learned to cure, and the vegetable productions which their fertile soil yields in such rich abundance. Indeed, we may say, that of rhe two, his visit is the most beneficent, because, in the first place, he comes again and again, bringing always new supplies of usefid articles for trnfic; whereas the scientific navigator had accomplished his ob ject w hen the island was once visited, .and came no more; and in the second place, became the trader, by leaching . the savages the value of their possessions, and by means lof them they can obtain the objects of their necessity or I desire, hasgiven them motives for inductry and economy, and so helped them on still further on the road to improve ment, net only of their condition, but of themselves. From the Jirunsioick Advocate. A new mode of treatment of yellow fever, has been j successfully adopted in New Oilcans, by the use of Qwrn ; me, of which we find tha following notice in tbe Bee of I that city of the Ist irist: The Lafavelte Gazelle mentions the salutary effect in ' cases of yellow lever derived from the exhibition of the sulphate of quinine in very large doses. Several facts j coming under our immediate knowledge enable us to cor roborate, and to add that we believe the ‘ quinine treat i in* nt,” as it i* termed, to be a most important and incal ! culably hem ficial discovery. 1 lie m.inner et employing the quinine in fever 'cases, which has been followed by such astonishing success, dif i fers altogether from the mode in which that remedy is usu ; ally administered. The common practice of physicians has been to give ;t in small doses during the periods of re- , mission. Ihe new practice is based upon a different tlie , ory, and varies essentially from the old. When quinine is. taken in large quantities, medical men have observed that it produces but a slight and inconsiderable stimulating effect, which is succeeded within a few hours by a pow erful sedative impression, that is generally durable. With this view the medicine is exhibited in one very large dose I oJ from 20 to 60 or 80grains in ti>e very incipieticy of the ; fever, while the morbid action appears to be in process of formation —that is, within six or eight hours, immediately alter the appearance of the earliest symptoms. It is all important, it we rightly understand the theory of its use, that the quinine should be employed before local irritation of congestion has taken place, or in other words, while ’ the malady is confined t« tiie nervous system, and tiie or ganization is as yet uni»paired. When taken under such circumstances, the first effects are a very slight increase of the febrile symptoms; the pulse perhaps becomes quicken- j ed; the respiration more hutried, and the usual consequen- ! ce» of stimuli ard present. This condition is, however, } but transient, and is promptly followed by a correspond ing depression. All the more violent symptoms subside; the temperature of tho surface is lowered; pain diminish- ' ed; (he pulse is gentle and subdued; the skin is covered 1 with a healthy moisture; in short,.the chain of morbid as- ! sociation bwevmes broken; sleep is superinduced from ' which the patient awakes refreshed and substantially bet- I ter, and within twenty-four or thirty-six hours is consider- ' ed in a state of convalescence. The treatment is of course not exclusively confined to | tiie employ meat of quinine, though this is the chief reme- | dial agent. Tiie usual means of obviating tendencies to ; locate irritation must be resorted to. The skilful practi-! tior.ei will modify his curative measures according to tbe ! necessities of the case, cupping, leeching, the warm bath, and local applications may be used as circumstances call . for their employment. The quinine is administered in a single dose—the object of the physician is Io bring about j the sedative influence of the remedy before any ot the or- ; gan* of the bead, stomach, &c., become especially affect- I ed by the disease. If it should fail to produce the antici- j paled effect, the case is too far advanced for a second tri- j al, and it must be treated on general pathological priuci- ( pies. Let it, however, be remembered that in thirty or ; forty cases which have been subjected to this novel cura-, tive method, net one has terminated fatally. Tbe action 1 oi the quinine has been uniformly most salutary, operating like a charm, and dissipating 'die • vir.ptoms of the malady erediey become concentrated on particular organs. e jiave been an eye v. itnes ; ot the excellent effects ot the quinine treatment in several instances, ai d can with justice, render a tribute to the zeal and taletit displayed by some o! the z. - al and talent displayed by some of the membi i s of tiie pi in the employment of ilii* rem edy. We are nut whom the merit of the discov- eiy belongs. < who have paid pm titular attention to its moans operand!, and have employed it in the largest number of cases are Drs. Hunt, Beattie, Far rc i and Mackay. These gentlemen concurin their views ot the theory upon which the based as well as in the unexceptionable advantageous rWull which accrue from its application. 1‘ rom the >!

Burney and James Beard, of Miccosukie, I were attacked by a small partv of Indians on the Federal ' Road about live niiles east of the Ocilla, within three miles i ot a regular post. Mr. Burney received two balls in bis | , shoulder ami leg, the latter wounded his horse, —he was ; : however able to make bis escape with bis horse. Mr. i Beard was shot in the hip, ami his horse badly wounded, he endeavored to escape, but the Indians pursued and I caught his iiotse, lie presented a pistol, and the Indians re ■ treated behind trees to reload ’heir rides, when taking ad i vantage of their absence Mr. B. struck into a thicket and was not pursued, fie was found on Monday morning, by a party of icgubir.s, so disabled tiiai he could not reach any dwelling. Both gentlemen we learn are likely to recover from their wound". On the same evening an attack was made on the house of Mr, Jeraigan, near Ulmer’s store, several shots were | tiled at the Indians, causing them to retire. Governor Call will probably return home on Tuesday next. The command of volunteers, we learn, have tho roughly scouted the country to the Suwannee, occasion ally falling upon the camps es the enemy, but unable to bring them to a fight. Many of their towns, and large quantities of coin, peas and provisions have been destroy ed.— i'loridiitn. On the night of the lOlli instant, a Lynching scraps was enacted at Mobile. The sufferers were two inoffensive young men. 'I hey were seized upon by a gang of des peradoes late at night, hurried to a remote part of town, and there beaten with stripes. The conduct of the public I authorities of Mobile on the occasion is worthy of all praise. So soon as the became known, patroles ) were sent out in search of the malefactors. Three of them j were caught and will be dealt with to the utmost rigor of i the law. Pho affair has roused the indignation of the whole community. From the remarks in the Mobile i Chronicle, it seems likely that the actors of the shameful ; dastardly outrage, will be made an example of to deter all i who are prone to take the law into their own hands. It I is gratifying to witness in our sister city, this stern opposi- ! tion to misrule, and strong attachment to the regular ad- ! ministration of justice. Throughout her late disasters, I when the provocations to violence must have been very' j great, no instance of popular excesses is recorded, but on 1 the contrary a decided resolution was evinced to maintain the supremacy of the law.

From the Mobile Register, Oct. >5. I kings are assuming a much better aspect. The city is settling into a slate of comparative quiet, anil our citi zens are becoming more composed. No fires nor attempts to file, have occurred tor more than a week; and some hope i* entertained that the incendiaries have satisfied their malignity or are deterred by fears. A guard is kept up nightiv, with unabated vigilance, and ought to be, and doubtless will be continued, until danger is confidently be lieved to be entirely over. In the mean time it becomes the municipal authorities to re-organize and enlarge the several municipal guard, so that it way be effective in maintaining a full and prompt watch during the winter. It will not do to maintain a numerous and armed Doi ice during the season of pressing alarm, so as to allay pn-sent apprehensions, and thus having inspired ’ temporary feel ing of secut itv, leave the city Ul ‘p rolwt ed against a re newal of these atrocities at another dav. We'have had a severe lesson, and, if it nu! pro(luce va | l<ab!e fruits in teaching us \, e wisdom of having at all times a w ell discit»i”. c u a n d powerful police, we will, in case of a re currence of the horrors,of tins month, have deep self re proach to add to our other afflictions. The city authori ties are bound te look to this in time. W itb tho feeling of returning security, it is gratifying to notice the sign* of enterprise which the burnt districtset ready presents. There is energy about our population, which will raise us up above the effects even of the dire calamity which has surrounded us with the ruins of some of our finest public buildings—our banks and hotels, and filled a large district in tiie heart of the city with a forest of blackened chimnies, denoting the desola tion of five hundred household hearths. Before the smwke had cleared off from the smouldering ruins—and while every ear was listening in terror for a new alarm, work- ! men were engaged in clearing away the wrecks to make room for new foundations; and already along the line of Dauphin street, there is an almost continuous hum of the | busy hammer and trowel. One new brick building on Dauphin street, near Conception, has already risen nearly ! to the second story; and we hear already of several con- j tracts for the immediate erection of houses on that street. ’ These are cheering proofs, that sovere as is the blow which Mobile has received, lhete is among her citizens an i energy which will without pause or delay, go to work to j restore by* industry what has been lost by this sudden and dreadful visitation. It is proper, too, to repeal what we spoke, of briefly in ■ our last, that these late fires have not touched the business ' part of the city—the offices and warehouses of our mer chants—their wharves, offices, cotton-presses, or any of tiie buildings in which tl.e great commerce of Mobile is transacted. That portion of our capital is unimpared, ex cept io a degree comparatively trifling. The loss of the ! 7th falls unhappijy tot them, on small dealers—the shop- ; keepers on D isphin street and tbe cross streets—and on ! the owners and occupants of dwellings in that district, ' which were principally of an inferior value. The per- : sonal seuffering is doubtless much greater than it would : have been had the same amount of loss fallen on a dense ly peopled commercial quarter,destroying fewer bur mote costly buildings, and in annihilating so much of the vested ■ commercial capital, have taken tiie spoils of destruction i from a wealthier few. More charity at home and abroad | is called, than could be needed, or could be received in 1 the other case ; but in the foreign aspects of the calamity, ! ihe business relations of Mobile, which are the sources of her prosperity, and the springs from which tbe whole com- j munity derive the sources.of their thrift, it is important to j have the true state of the facts fully understood abroad. ' The three hotels and the bank building, are indeed griev- I ous losses; but the bank was ready on tiie next day/with- i out the loss of a dollar or piece of paper, to re-commence } business at its former location in the old Mobile Bank be- ! low Government street. The want of hotels will, for this - ni - serii(i)s il|( . on - i however, to supply which, hereafter, we ’ rely on the instincts of privwro .merest, tn a place where ■ there are such crowds of strangers as are here every win- ! ter, and where prices range so high, as they have done j here for several years. In the mean time private board- I ing houses in abundance, will without question, be opened 1 for the accommodation of travellers and sojourners, which ! with the hotels that are left, will we hope supply the pres- : ent wants, until better times enable us to furnish better ac- ; comrnodations. I Let every one look at the case thus cheerily, and go i resolutely to work to contribute hie share of the exertion I necessary to restore what has been lost, and Mobile will ' in an unexpectedly brief period be found rising with re ; newed beauty and increased prosperity. — : From the S/ ie-York livening Star. Oct. 15. Interesting Scene.— The Otegon Mission, composing ! 50 persons, departed in the ship Sausanne on Wednesday'. Religious service was performed iu the Hercules steamer while she was towing the ship down the Bay; and one of the children of the Mission, born on the journey from Ore eon was baptized “Oregon.” The whole scene of taking leave, and mutual prayers for a prosperous result to this pious enterprise to the remotest shoreses of the Pacific, was highly impressive, and seemed to be the rehearsal of ’ these glorious days, w hen our Puritan ancestors were. ; prompted to seek for religious freedom in this new world, ! the principles of which are now being carried out by ex tending the blessings of civilization to the utmost bounds of our territory. AN UNFORTUNATE SHOULDER OF MUTTON. A few clays ago, a butcher in this neighborhood who has always been considered ‘wide awake,’ lost a shoulder of mutton, and having ascertained that it had been stolen by a certainjdog belonging to a certain attorney, helostno time in repairing to itsowner and accosted him as follows:—Pray sir, if a dog comes to my shop and runs away with a quarter of meat, can- I not I make the dog’s owner pay for the loss ?•—Cer- | tainly said the lawyer. Then replied the butcher, ; I’d thank you for 3s 9d. which is the cost price of a ' shoulder of mutton your pointer has just stolen from me. The lawyer paid the money, and the knight of the cleaver thanking him and wishing him a good morn ing, was leaving the office'; but the solicitor said Stay sir, I must trouble you for my fee.

A truckman in Boston, who had a refractory horse ' that would not move forward, beat him unmercifully. ; A gentleman came along, who told him he must not beat him any more. ‘What shall I do ?” said the ' man ; “my horse has stood here these two hours. Shall 1 stand here all day.” “Oh, no, the horse must | go, but you must not beat him any more.—Get me a rope twice as long as the horse.” The rope was brougt, tied to his tail, and then passed between his . legs forward ; then he gave a pull upon the rope; the ‘horse was frightened, and showed signs of kicking; he continued to pull; the horse suddenly started for ward, and went off without any more beating. The gentleman had seen that method tried on jackasses in South America with full success. If you doubt it,, try for yourself. Correspondence of the Augusta Constitutionalist. NEW YORK, Oct. 16, J-3”, B r. m. I have all the good new* to tell you which I hoped for a: the close of my letter a we< k ago. Our banks stand fiim and the merchants too. The specie dinwn from the banks has not at al! weakened them, and probably has not amounted to more than a quarter of what they had in vault. Boston, it is determined will stand firm to their payu ents. Providence has suspended) pro tcm., but will resume when she is certain what New York and Boston will do, and of that she is certain to-day. Most of thu New Jersey Banks continue to pay specie. Our banks determined to draw bills and supply tbe market, by the Liverpool, byway of guarantee, against large quantities of specie being called for. The result has been that bills * of vatidbs kinds have been plenty at 9a 10 preiu. On France, also bills have been in good supply at 5f 15 at per dollar. Specie has fallen in its premium, and considerable sums which were taken up tor export, were afterwards deposited in bank in exchange for bids at 9 a 9A pretu. U. S. Bank stock which fell after the suspen sion to 70, run up to 6', but down again to 70, and has closed to-day at 74. Exchange on Philadelphia is to-day 15 dis. It has been sold at 16;k Tbe bank brokers are buying the post notes which are uot due, al par for Pbila delphia money, loss one per cent, a month for tue unma tured time, and for post notes they pay Philadel- phia inouey with 10 per cent, pretu., that is 110 for 100. A good deal of the Philadelphia money has been protes ted by cur holders, and ail in all, the suspension is mak ing sad confusion and great inconvenience. The state of money affairs occupies the people so much that they think little of the coming election or of businexs except to pay their notes. We have had two or three failures during the week of moderate bouses, and » few have taken place in Boston, but not more than mi<ht be expected under almost any circumstances. The mer chants stand it famously and in my opinion they will be much relieved next week. Some of our banks have dis counted freely yesterday and to-day. The sales of cotton this week 'amount to 2300 bales, chiefly for exportation, at steady prices The whole rang* of prices is 10J a 14. J cents from ordinary t* choice.—— Flour is dull and has lost most of what it gained by the Liverpool. Genesee is £6 to-day, sellers, and commo* Southern $5 87; Georgetown $9 12 a 25; Corn 73 a75 set. The Liverpool lias aboard 40 passengers and sh« takes £BO,OOO in specie aboard, half of which came from Phil adelphia this morning. We know not what to calculate upon now, and although little has been done in busineaw this week, you may calculate on a better account forth* next. Exchange on Southern places is quite uncertain as it is unknown what may he done there. We hope the south ern banks will do themselves honor. One of the evils of thu suspension of 1837, arid not th* least either, was the flood of sliinplasters, buns, dec. which inundated the country. Paper manufactories suddenly sprung up in every coiner of the city—every petty dealer considered himself authorized to issue hi* scrip, and the consequence was that a large amount of this trash went into circulation, producing serious loss and inconvenience to the public. Past experience, having taught us the mis chiefs of this spurious currency, should prompt to eneiget ic measures to prevent the evil. We are glad to learn that the banks have taken the matter in hand at an eatly date. To provide a currency adapted to the wants of tho community is the prime object of their creation ; and ou them therefore, is it specially incumbent to meet the pres ent emergency. With a view ts the discharge of thi* du ty, a resolutiurfwas passed at a late meeting of the Presi dents, recommending to such banks as are authorised by their charters, to issue and put into circulation ante* ot a low denomination as one, two and three dollars. Thi* is a judicious measure. If it does not entirely prevent, it will in a great degree curtail the mischief. A currency *f on* dollar notes being supplied, there will be no need of shin plasters of a Uighur denomination than fiAy—■»—»•»— should like to H« paper wholly dis r„,r*ca'W r iTli7even in the line of “ small change." But if specie rises much above the value cf city notes, it would appear hardly possible to get rid of the necessary evil.— Tiie cupidity of petty dealers will.be sure to hoard up th* bits and picallioas, for the pittance of a pretuiutn which hey command. In this predicament nothing better can be done than to rely on the municipalities for our “ market money.” By confining their issues to suim as lo »as 50 cents, the inconvenience of the circulation willbe abridged, while at the same time the public will be reaping aj[ ih* benefits it is capable of yielding. It would be Ratifying to see the arrangement carried out. The difficulty that occurred during the first suspension have occasioned raiiih apprehension on this subject. But with the aid cf the dol lar notes issued by tbe banks, and notes of a smaller deno mination issued by the mituicipilities we think, that tbs community may be furnished with a currency of small change equal to all the wants of trade—A'. O. Bulletin. A STRANGE CASE OF In September a Liverpool paper informs us, the police in Bury apprehended a num named Thomas Sharrocks, 1 of Bury, overloker of powei looms, on a charge of Biga ■ my, and he was fully committed to the New Baily to take | his trial at the quarter sessions. The facts are, perhaps, j the strangest connected with a case of bigamy on record, j About four years ago, Sharrocks married his first wife, Betty Hibbert at Radcliffe, and it appears that they lived together comfortable. It seems, however, that he thought another wife would make his happiness and his household complete ; and he accordingly succeeded inuaprsuaditig a young woman, aged about 18 years, of prepossessing ap pearance, unknown io her parents, to become his secund wife, and they were married on the 28th of July last.— i The strangeness of the transaction is, that the first wife i went to her husband’s second marriage, officiated as brides maid, and actually pulled her own wedding ring from her ' finger, and with that ring the ceremony was performed.— When the man was apprehended, he and the two wives were living very comfortably together, all the parties ap ! patently unaware of the degradation to which they were reduced, for on the apprehension of Sharrocks; his wives “ thought it was hard that the law should interfere with them if they were comfortable.” After Sharrocks had been committed, and had been removed to the station, he was visited by both, his wives; and the fellow there boast* ed that no man ever had two better wives at once, and that when he came back, he would stick to them through life, and lose his List drop of blood in their defence.
