ErtrGcf OF a iefter dated Nc1v Orleans.
Jiine 81.
Since my last per the Orleans, nothing
materially interesting has occurred in rela>
ton to the crevasse or irrupsion of the RI
yer. The measures of the Governor and
Cry corporal on proved inadequate to the
object. and it has been permitted TO flow
uninterrupted and at one time it threat.
ened wide spread run to the whole. civ.
but Divine Providence, which seems
always really to extend protecting h md
to us In our mIstor,unes, has again come to
our relief, and by a very unexpected and
extraordinary early fail of the river, has
Checked the evil, AID promises an early
termlnation to our calamity. The water
has already reduced considerably, and it is
hoped, in few days more the city will be
free from it /; it will however take some
time for the surrounding country to be
perfectly drained
With the suUsiding OF the river we are
happily favonred with plentiful rains,
which tend to wash away the places that
have been inundated--a Circumstance
which we consider favourable 70 tn. health
of the city. notwithstanding great cmi-
erations are taking place; and il is sup
posed that few persons who are able. TO
remove, will remain here after the eod
of the present month

Breach Of promise Of Marriage.
ANNE LANcEr, .. RrNTER, ESQ.

ANNE LANcET, .. HUNTER, ESQ.
The attorney-general, for the plaintiff
said that the present was one of the most
interesting cases that had ever come before
a jury. The plaintiff was young lady.
Of great beauty, and of accomplishments
much exceeding many Of the best educated
of her sex she had been brought up; un-
der the care of her father, mathematical
master at Greenwichiestablishment, and of
an anxious and affectionate mother, who al
ded by the abiest masters, had at home de-
voted their attention to her: The Plain
aiA,s father, MIR. Lancey, had 10000 in the
funds, and a situation of 500L. a year bes-
ides some freehold property. The defen-
jant was widower, Of large fortune,
whose father, from the worth of his heart
and the wealth of his purse, had received
amOng his friends the appellation of Ster-
ting Hunter at his death he bequeathed
TO the defendant a fortune of not less than
10000 per annum, upon which he main
tanned two spIendid establishments, at
Kew and in Cayendish square. The de-
PENDANT was about so years of age, and two
OF his daughters were grown up. In the
year 1910, in consequence Of the recon-
mendation of DR.. Maskelyn who from in
timate friendship with the family, was well
acquainted with the admirable quaIificati-
ons of Miss Lancey, the plaintiff, she was
introduced into the family Of the defendant,
10 ssperintend the education of his four
daughters, the defendants wife being then
living but in very bad state oil health.
In this situation she attracted the affection
and admiration of the whole family ard
continued to reside in il until close atten-
tion TO her duties and to Mrs Hunter, en-.
dapgered her own life, and she was obliged
for three months to visit a watering place,
placing herself as parlour bOarder in the
school of Mrs, OdfieId, of Margate. AZ
Ter her strength was ia some degree resto-
red, she returned to the family Of the de-
PENDANT but she soon found herself again
incapable of the fatigues belonging to the
situation she resigned it in consequence.
aud went home TO her fathers house al

ter died, leaving behind her four daughter.
and son. After the first poignancy 81
