MYSTERIOUS CIRCUMSTANCE

A few nights ago, a Lady, rather fashionably
messed, applied at the house of a person residing
,n one of the streeis of the old town, and begged
to know whether she might be acommodated wild
a night's lodging ; being replied to in the affirma-
tive, she was shewn to tier bed, and took pos-
session accordingly. At an advanced hour in
the night, the people of the house were alarthed

ly groans, which appeared to'issne from the bed

occupied by their fair lodger ; having got up to
inquire whether she was ill, they were astonished
to find she had been delivered of a fine boy,which,
with its mother, were both well. Their amaze-
ment was only equalled by their apprehensions,
that a circumstance of the kind should have taken
place beneath their roof; however, the lady politely
assured them, that they need entertain no fears ou

that account; that if they could keep the secret they
might rest confident she would not reveal it ; that
she would indemnify them in any expenses which
they might incur, and handsomely reward them
for the asylum they had afforded her. The fears

of the old couple were in some degree quieted',
and they,for three days, continues! to pursue their
ordinary Avocations, supplying the invalid Lady
with such things as.she demanded, and for which
she paid with the greatest liberality. On the fourth
morning, the man and his wife bad occasion to
go from home at the same time, and the Lady sig-
nified to a girl .who was in attendance, her wish to
get up and dress, for some very urgent business
obliged her to go out fora short time; the girl assist-
ed in equipping her,but her curiosity was much ex-
' cited by the great care the Lady took to conceal her
face. The girl at length said, she hoped it would not
be impertinent to ask why she did so i-7rthe Lady
replied, that it . was only natural, so soon after
accouchement, that she should endeavour to make
herself up warm, to avoid the danger of catching
cold. The reply was. reasonable, and the girl was
obliged to be satisfied. The Lady went out, leav-
ing the bantling in bed, with a small sum of mo-
ney in a black silk ridicule, and has not since been
heard of. Conjecture has been on the rack to
discover who she•is, but in vain—however, she is
supposed to have been from the west end of the
town. She paid her. engagements with punctua-
lity, and strictly kept her promise to the old cou-
ple of a handsome reward, in leaving there a fine
baby-boy.-,-(Limerick Advertiser.)

Mademoiselle ELISA GARNERIN, accompanied
by M. GARNERIN her father, arrived here some
days ago, and announces to the good citizens of
this Metropolis the interesting spectacle of au
ascent in the balloon with a decent by the para-
chute : she has already, She says, made 14 suc-
cessful experiments, whicl► ought to overbalance
a recent failure.

In consequence of two marriHg.,s which took
place not long ago, in Lancashifee not far from
Oldham, a very curious alliance is formed. A
Gentleman married a Lady, whose brother,
soon after, married her husband's (laugh t er, by
a former wife., In the course of dine, each party
had a child ; the former a daughter, the latter a
son ; therefore, the first-mentioned lady is mwher
to her brother, sister to her daughter, and grand•
mother to her nephew ; her little daughter
is niece to her sister, aunt to her cousin, and sister
to her uncle; the young man is brother to his fa-
ther and mother, son to his sister, uncle to his wife,
and brother to his niece ; hii wile is sister to her
fat her and mother, daughter to her sister, niece
to her husband, and aunt to her sister; his little
boy is giandson to his aunt, the older lady, and
cousin to his aunt the little girl.—(Leeds Intelli-

- Wednesday afternoon, an Irishman of the name
of John Docharty went into a public-house in
Havannah-street, Glasgow, and getting Is. worth
of whisky, tendered one of the forged notes of the
Aberdeen Commercial Banking Company. He
was seized and sent to the Police Office. While
the officers were searching him there, lee dropped
another ; and, intending to conceal it, lie eovered
it with his foot, and endeavoured, by. dra wing his
foot along the floor, to place it out of sight. The
circumstance generally held as a proof of the pass-
ing the note, knowing it to be forged—asking
change while the tenderer has silver—was not
wanting in this instance ; for, when the prisoner
was searched, 2s. were found in his pockets.—
