We have received intelligence from Buenos
Ayres, by the Arethusa, arrived at Philadelphia.
Capt. Biddle's treatment of Mr. Rodney excited
universal adherence at Buenos Ayres, and was
worse than any person can well imagine. Au-
thentic statements will be on, setting forth in
proper light the conduct of Capt. Biddle, which
will more than justify what has been said oft.

woman Of the name of MARY Downs. 1t has ex-
cited intense sensation in this popuous neighbour
hood, particularly gentleman of the most re-
spectacle connections, of the name of Mr.. NJ. has
had suspicious thrown upon him relative to the BUSH

suspicious have proved groundless.

of Sunday, the 23d Of November. 1t appears that
late Saturday evening, the deceased, who is re-
presented to have been interesting young female,
about 20 years Of age had been the works of Mr.
NJ. in Stockport Before her leaving there, Mr.. NJ.
wished her to have the company of Of the watch
men engaged IT tie works. to- protect her on her way
home to Hcaton Norris. Unfortunately, the young
woman declined the offer, and she left alone. About
o'clock, on Sunday morning. a man Of the name
OF James Shawcross, employed as an occasional
waiter at public house called the Kings Head in
HeatOn Norris, returning to his own house. hav-
ing been up late assisting the company at the Kings
Head his road lay through field belonging 10

.fnother most singular .4pyaritio. in high life.

As strange appearances and disappearance, nil
racies, and horrors, to be very much in fashion
at present, cannot withhold from our readers the
following interesting narrative, suited as it is to the
taste of the times. One circumstance, which NAV
III some mcastrc detract from its Credibily is, that
it bears strong resemblance 10 one we recollcct to
have seen in some collection of Ghost Stories. All
that we vouch for is the fact that tho thing has
been much talked Of i'll Stafordshire, and indeed, in
the immediate nciglborhood of the noble marquis,
who is the hero of the adventure We give it mere
ly as current story:
One night, during the last summer, a noble mar
quis Chen residing at his seat, T, in S-,)
drcamt that Il savage murder had been committed,
and that the murderer was then about TO inter his
victim in retired spot in his (the narquiss) de-
mense The fright occasioned by this circumstance,
caused the noblcman to awake, but recovering from
IL, lie again disposed himself to rest, and fell asleep,
whcn the same horrid scene presented itself to his
imagination, and he again consequently, awoke.-
Rendered little nervous by this singular repetition,
some time elapsed before he could resume his slum-
Der; but at length he did so when the same appal-
ing vision n third time haunted him, and he once
more awokc. After few minutes his lordship re-
covered from The effects of this thrice-repeated
dream but 1t being then broad daylight, he arose.
determined to seek by walk in his park to restore
the tone of his nerves Impressed by the rcmarka-
bic circumstance that had so occurred, he summon
w
his steps towards that part Of the park indicated in
his dream. We have already said that place was
unfrcquented; but by sudden turn in the path
which led TO 1t, the view Of burst all at once lpon
the noble lord, who few PAGES in advance of
his attendants. Alarmed by a sudden exclamation
from his lordship, they rushed forward, and arrived
just in time to see man rush through the under
wood as If to escape, in which he succeeded. All
now pressed forward, and searching the identical
spot, OF which the noble marquis had dreamt, they
found an excavation in the EARTH apparently intend
ed for grave, upon which the man who fled had
been at work; he left behind him Il spade and some
othersdigging implements. The fugitive never was
discovered.
Here the matter would, in all probability, have
rested food only for conjecture, but for the smulta
neouS flight or disappearance of kitchen maid, OF
cook, and footrnan, from his lordship's service
without leaving single trace behind them. yari-
Gus ruinours were consequently, ahoat for consi-
derable time afterwards in the ncgbbourhood thai
which was most generally believed, however, was
that an illicit intercourse had subssted between the
parties; that, on account, perhaps, of the prcgnan
cy oil the female, the man had murdered, and intend
ed TO bury her in the grave which Inc was actually
preparing, when interrupted by his noble master.

they scweu together with the snews OF the sea
elephant by means of an old nail. Their whole
time was occupied between eating and lying in
wait for the sea elephants and birds, and reading
| bible which had been saved from the wreck,
and co-opcrated with the suffcrings they had
undergone in reforming the most dissolute a
mongst them. The month of December had not
ended, when they were astonished and delighted
at seeing boat rowed up to the beach, and
their eight ship-rnatcs, who they feared had
been lost, land upon the island. 1t happened
that the very plans adopted by one party had
been acted upon by the other. They were
dressed in the same manner and had lived III
the same way but those who had left their ISL
! and had not been able to raise hut, and had
! veutured again upon the water in search of a
more comfortable abode, which they found a
nongst their friends, after search to the dis
lance of about miles. The two islavds were
distant from eachother upwards ofthree leagues;
and the inhabitants being thus collected, and ha-
wing lived together three weeks, the means of
, living began to become more slack, and it was
agreed upon that five of the number should 60
back to the island to live upon the produce there
while those who remained where they were
should build vessel of the materials of the huts
and the planl1s of some houses which the Amer
leans had formerly erected, and were buried in
the sand. After the most dreadful fatigue they
succeeded III bulldlnT a stone house, and were
at the same time proceeding with the ship, in
which, wretchcd as it necessarily must be, they
were determined to attempt to return home
In about five months lugger ofabout IL tons
was completed. They launched her and intend
cd to depart the day after; but to their dismay,
on the very night of the launch, she was blown
amongst the rocks, and her stern was beaten in.
Scarcely, however, had this calamity occurred
when an old fellow, who was constantly en-
ployed on the lookout, cried out ga sail ~
They all looked in the same direction, but the
general opinion was the sail was no other than a
large bird, which had often led themnto errors of
the same sort. They however lighted fire with (.
the blubber ofthesea-elephant, theironly fuel, on
the most elevated part of the island, to attract
he attention of the vessel, if there should be one
in sight. They soon saw schooner which sent
boat on shore. The shipwrecked seamen ran
towards this delightful object: but as seal skin
trowsers retarded their progress they threw
them off and the crew of the schooner actually
took them for a new race of inhabitants. So
great was the desire of the unfortunate fellows
to get on board, that they actually ran into the
water and swan towards, the vessel, where they
were provided Nth every thing they were in
want of. The schooner was the Philo of Boston,
Captain Percival. They were taken to the Isle
of France, and two of them, named Yeale and
Peterbndge came home in the Lord Exmouth,
