EtOpemeRt-A circumstance recently &C.
Cured in Philadelphia, which has caused
some excitement among the inhabitants. A
respectable merchant, who resided in the
western part of the city, was married to a
lady for whom he had the most lively affec-
ton, and believed his attachment was recip-
rocated.-thcy lived together happily for sew.
eTal years, and promising son cemented
their union. But their paradise was poisoned
by serpent in the shape of Brazilian con-
sui who took up his residence in a house OPP
posite to the dwelling of Mr. This wretch
on whose countenance heaven had stamped
darkness corresponding with his character,
lnslnuated himself into the affections of Mrs
-, criminal intercourse was for some
time carried on between them, without any
suspicion on the par: of the husband, or their
acquaintance. The lady returned to the city,
and shortly afterwards disappeared from her
dwelling; no intelligence of the fugitiyes
has since been received. The consul dsap-
peared at the same time, and various other
circumstances leave no doubt but they went
off together.

the amount of three thousand dollars. He

employer was agent for Bank in the coun.

notes from time to time, to DO passed over TO

and sometimes twenty dollars at once, until
