ENGLISH CASE.
rot.tCE.
Ant oni Antonio , the Italian doctor of
civil and Ecclesiastical Law , who was n
U'\v days ago broug ht before the Lord
Mayor , ch ar ged with a brac e of pistols ,
with whi ch he contem plated mischief to
somebod y, was confronted with his wife,
befoi e hi s Lordsh i p, and nn account was
given by th e lad y, which excited univer -
sal astonishment. The following is a
brief.statement of the ense.
Mrs Antonio said , th at she wns a Liin -
rrick woman , and had her Irish husband ,
who was a waiter at the great Inn there ,
and with whom she lived very happ ily.
The doctor one day walked into the Inn ,
an d calli ng her Irish husband aside , told
him that he [the doctor ] had just arrived
from London , and that fie happened to be
out of cash , but expected n remittun ceev-
ery day of money due him in Kng ltind. —
This stor y was believed , and the waiter
became responsible to a certain extent
for the doctors diet and lod ging, but
findin g that his customer 's friend in Eng-
land was not very punctual , he took him
home , where he might live more fru gall y.
As the doctor was a good scholar , tuitions
were ut once provided him , but still no
money arrived , and he was very fond of
good living, so that the family began to
feel the inciimhrance to be serious. The
doctor at last induced them to tnkc n
house , upon his assurance that he would
pay the rent. The first quarter approach-
ed with great ra p idit y, but no money ap-
peared , and (hen the doctor said he would
go off to Lond on, to his friend Prince Es-
tcrhnz y , to whom he had lent the cash—
[Lnu glitiT. ]
Th e Lord Mayor—And did you be-
li eve all this ?—Mrs Antonio (with the
gr eatest simp li city)— (J od knows best ,
your lordshi p, we believed every word of
it. Hut mon ey was wanting. Well we
were afraid to let the doctor go by hi m-
self, and my husband was not able to leave
his business , so my mother and I thoug ht
it would be best for us to go off, ami oil
we set for Dublin along with him. The
doctor said that he was much in want of
a wife (a laug h,) so we gave a little par-
ty in Dublin and asked somn ladies lo u-n
to give him liis choice , but he. was very
desirous to make us drink , and he pre-
vailed upon mother to take some mixture ,
which soon put her to sleep, hut 1 would
not take any. Well , off he ran to a shi p
that was going to Scotland , and oli' I ran
u liei him.
Th e Lord Mayor—Wh at ! and left
your mother asleep 't Mrs Antonio—
Fast asleep. So th e shi p sailed , and
and didn 't stop till we got to Scotland. —
I Loud laug ht er.] Well I was afraid to
leave him because I knew that if Prince
Ivsterliazy paid him , he wouldn 't pay us,
ex cept I was along with him ; but he
suddenly took it into his head lo marry
me.
Th e Lord May or—To marry you !
and you having a husband living in Lim-
erick—Yes ; he told me that if I refused
he would expose me to my husb and , so
I agreed to be his wife, and the ceremony
was performed by a Scotch clergyman.
The Lord Mayor —Come , come, you
ran away from your Irish husband with
him , and now you are tired of him. Mrs
An tonio—I 'll tuke my oath your Lord-
shi p, th at I never ran away from my I-
rish hu sband ; I have wri tten to him and
expect him every day.
Th e Lord Mayor—Did not you sleep
along wit h this Kcclesiastical Doctor be-
fore you married him ? Mrs. Ant onio
(with great vehemence )—Never ! I'd lose
my life first. Wh at ! sleep with him
without marry ing hi m ? The Lord knows
I wouldn 't do any such wicked thin g.—
[Laug ht er.
Th e Lord Mayor—W ell how did he
treat you ? Mr s. Antonio— Oh , then , Cod
kn ows , I wish I never saw his face : he's
a shocking man.
Th e Lord May or lias he beaten you ?
Mrs Antonio—N o he never struck me, but
I am sure he will destroy me. Jleis
in possession , he says, of an imperc eptible
poison, and he has threaten ed lo use it up-
on me, if 1 leave him ; but I will leave
him , for I find it's all a lie about the mo-
ney, and there is not the least use in mar-
rying him.—[L oud laughter.
The Lord May or—How did he get
those pistols ? Airs Antonio—I gave
him the last sovereign I had in the world
and he went and purchas ed them with it.
The Lord Mayor— And who paid the
passage money, and all the incidental ex-
penses ? Mrs. Antoni o—Wh y my Lord
you see my Irish husba nd was a little too
liberal with his money when he carried it
about with him , so he used to give it to
me; and we had laid by 40 soverei gns of
hi s savings. Well I took the soverei gn s.
The Lord May or— what all ? Mrs An-
tonio—Every one, your Lordshi p becau se
you see we wan ted to get the money from
Princ e Esterhnz y, to pay the rent which
was fust coming round. So I paid all the
expenses.
Mr Ilobl cr—And who paid th e matri-
moni al expenses ? Mrs Antonio—I did.
I paid the Scotch Minister , hu t I found
he did not want a wife nt all , at nil. —
[Loud Laughter.
Dr. Ant onio—I paid for the marriage
I did pay n great deal of money ; 1 did
spend mv money in Limercek along with
my wife 's other husband ; but she shant
be his wife no more—never no more ¦
me—[Laug hter.
Mrs Antonio —T won 't have nny thing
to do with you I tell you.
The Lord Ma yor— Upon my word ,
Doctor , you hnve acted very unlik e a pro-
fessional gentleman. Not content with
runnin g in the poor man 's debt , you ran
away with his wife and seduced her.
Mrs. Antonio would not allow that she-
had hern seduced ; .she could she declar-
ed with an appealing look to the whole
room , produce the certificates of both her
marriages. —| Loud laug hter. ]
The Lord M ayor believed the womans
statement , and believed that she consid-
ered in marry ing the Doctor , she hud
committed no offence. His Lordshi p de-
clared th»t in the course of his life he
never heard so singular a proof of cred u-
lity and .simpli city.
During the whole of this conversation
this female spoke without the least hesi-
tation , and with an air of sincerity which
it was impossible to question.
Th e Lord Mayor thoug ht the case wns
one which the government ough t tp inter-
fere, by sending the Doctor , by vir tue of
th e Alien Hill , to practice «t home.
M r Hohler observed , that government
would not , in all probability net upon the
Alien Kill , except in cases of political of-
fence.
The Doctor was then sent to the offi-
cers of Westchu pi'l parish , with directions
that a very shar p eye should bu kept on
so dangerous a person ; and Mrs Anton-
io who seemed shocked upon hearin g thai
she hud don e wron g was discharged.
Thunder and Light ning, 'jfj ihepy
Family.—A gentl eman from Bradford
gives us the following information of the
e/l'ccls of a tlimul f r storm mu; Tlfght last
week. He says a house in Bradford wns
str uck by lightni ng, while (lie whole fami-
ly consisting of a man , his wife and two
(laug hte rs were under the dominion of
Mor p heus—that the electric fluid entered
(li e roof—passed throu g h a bedpost shiv-
ered it lo atoms ,—destroyed an old bureau
and several other articles in a room
where slept the two dau ghters— (hat it
descended , without further ceremony into
th e bedroom , where H ere in bed the hus-
band and wife. Here the li ghtnin g play-
ed some " fantastic tricks " by tearing the
bedsleud , destro ying furniture , and ' com-
mitting other riotous acts ; but still amidst
(hi s " wreck of matter ," th e famil y con-
ti nued to snore , unconscious of the chaos
around them , or their half inch escapes
from death. Our informant slates that
they awoke about sunrise , and were star-
tled by (he smell of brimstone and the
appearance of their habitation. On exam-
in ation , they found lar ge splin ters which
had been tor n from the furniture and thrust
into bed. They considered it a miraculous
escape. N. H. Palladium.
[This is somewha t alft'n to the story of
a man cutting straw on a chilly day,
when one of his fingers was clipped off
so smoothl y that he did not discover the
accident till one of his companion s seeing
it on the barndoor , asked him whose it
was. Hodge looking at his own hund «,ex-
claimed , " by jingo it 'it min e."
A gentleman in r ayetteville , und er
dat e of May .
'51st , wri tes his brother , that
there is but one block of buildings standing
in th at town. For a mile in length , and
a half a mile in width , there is not a house
standing. It is peculiarly fortunate that no
lives were lest in the general conflagrat ion.
Since the fire several people have died ,
pr obabl y from excessive anxiety and fa-
ti gue. The town affords no medicine
for the sick , and provisions are 100 per
cent advance. The case of our distr ess-
ed fellow citizens at Fayetteville , calls
for the humane and charitable dispositi on
of all. Hundreds of those who were com-
fort able before the fire , found themselves ,
by th is act of Pro vidence, reduced imme-
diatel y to absolute penury and want with
out the means of pr oviding for themselves
and families food and raiment ; they had
not where to lay their heads. The dis-
tress is general throug hout the whole com-
mu nity ; they are all sufferers , without the
means of udrninister ing to each other s re-
lief. Nat. Intelligencer.

have had a remnrkublc influence over the
