ender this head ire gave ou Wednesday a statemert,
from a Morning paper, of cirentustauces that ittvolved ill
deep affliction two families of the highest conSetptence.
These circumstantes, however, though sufficiently ill,
plorable of themselves,. appear to he exaggerated; net!
we yesterday presented from the same mown. as the tie.;,
a correction of tlw original account. Upon this subject
Me Alvrt•iag ehromfrl., which bad yesterday no
aernple to mention the name of Henry ilireey
Alums, Fn. as connected with the melam•linly affair,
takes °evasion from more authentic information,
to correct in a most material point, the statemeta
whirls it had given, and which wns not very dilfeteat
from the one we haul inserted, excepting that we had
omitted the gentleman's name. , " It is true," states this
paper, " that Mr. Aston having been resptired to desist
front his visits at the lonise, prevailed on the voting lady to
elope with him, hot they were pivoted by the lady 's
mother, accompanied liv a younger dattOater, and osr!-
taken within a few hours aftrt leaving 1;14w. Thee ont.;t:
lady instantly retttrued with her mother, and there is
not the slightest suspicion of any previous miscontin,
the Noble Family hying cnnvincesl of her innewenee.
Exaggerated accounts of this inelatwholy affair lin% in:t
appeared in other papers, it is hoped that the lalitor
will feel the ditty of rorreeting the statement."
The paper from which we hail taken our first arconnt
states to day, that variou; statements on the t ;lie
continued to he received at the suffice, and that the tsso
following had been left there yesterday

In addition to.the above we subjoin the followin7
statement from another dlorning Paper of to-day. an.!
which is given as having been just received in a
Letter, from the En4isli Consul at Genoa, to 4 relative
of the unfortunate Gentleman.

" Mr. Aston came to reside in this City in doers:

they arrived on Monday night at ten o'clock. He brio
extremely ill, every medical assistance was ca1!...1 in;

twelve o'clock on Tuesday night. The deceased havinc
declared it was his wish tha: his body should be sent tsi
Paigland ; it has been embalmed, sealed up in lead. ass,!
is deposited in the house of the Protestant t
at Carignani, waiting orders to M . Hibbs and C.,.

From the certificates of the Physicians awl Surgeons

reports that were in circulation, to desire the physician
who atteuds my family to be present with the other medi-
cal men, and to report Isis opiniou to me, in which he
concurs wills them.

Letters from Copenhagen state, that on the anni-
versary of the Icing's birth, a patrol of hussars, err
neously conceiving that a body of Stadrnts, who were
traversing the streets, were uttering seditious cries,
dispersed them at the point of the swei4l, when four of
them were womided. The mistake arose from the
Students exclaiming, in Latin, " lies !" which
the hussars were not scholars enough to understand.
It is reported in a Preach Paper, that the late
rumour of a Commercial Treaty being on font be-
tween Ragland and Pran-ze was unfounded, and that
there was no iiitentiou whatever of altering the
commercial relatious between the two countries.
