 at present, Iiving in town, having maFried his own sister. On Tuesday the sister was ar-
 rested and brought before the Mayor, and at. ter a patient hearing of all the evidence. she
 was admitted to bail tn the sum of one thous- and dollars, tO appear at thc next MayOE's Court. The brother. against whom War rant was also issued, Is understood 60 have left the city. The evidence tO prove the mar
 riage and the relationship Of the parties. is be-
 lieved to be this. He and his sister were both natives of England; the former is about Iifly years old, and has been twenty-fve years ID ihis country: the sister is about forty, and
 has been here but two years. He oeionge6
 to benevolent association in thss city, ana
 one evening, while walking with one ot Hs
 members, about two weeks ago, ne dlscl"sed
 the fact of his having been married to ms own
 sister. The person tO whom thus u'sc'osu's
 was made, was shocked In tne extreme a"u
 inquired what earthly motive c"0i0 lnoucS
 him to ton,mit n crime sO repUgnant to aII
 mural and divine laws. He replied that he
 and his late wife, (who died very suddenly a.
 bout Ave months agO.) had not lived happily
 together, and. he thought 1t would be hest to
 marry his sister, as tt would then be all in the
 family. and he would he more certain to IIve
 comfortably. Alter this, he mentioned the
 circumstance to several persons. ana no legal
 measures being instituted, he began to boast
 of if. until it spread and became topic ot
 general conversation in the neighborhood.
 Inquiries being sent on foot by the Mayor,
 warrants were issued as soon as the evidence
 was considered sufficiently strong. and the te-
 male was arrested. The brother has repeat edly declared that this woman was his sister. She joined her brother in this city, about two two years ago. tn consequence of the decease of all their relations in England, and took up her abode in his house. He has shown many of her letters to different persons. and if the united testimony Of the parties is1tO be he. lieved, there can be no doubt of their being brother and sister. The wife was alledged to have died without any previous illness, and SD suddenly as to be unknown to many of the neighbors. until they received invitations to the funeral. Her decease tOOk place about Ave months ago, and we understand that sus- picion is so strongly excited, that it is proba. ble the body of the deceased wife will be dis inferred for medical examination.
 The unnatural marriage is said to have been effected in Germantown, by m Episcopal Minister, who was ot cUurse ignorant of the near relation 0f the parties. This took place nearly two months ago. so that the wife could have been but three months dead. As we were aware that a great number ofrnmOrs were in circulation on the subject, great care has been taken to obtain the ahove particulars in the most responsible quarters. and lhey are believed to be substantially correct.
 Anderson, the newly imported English vo- calist, who was at first better received 5y the B0stonians than the New. Workers, has with in a few days been compelled to withdraw from the stage in Boston. His circular. setting forth his conduct during his passage to this country to have been every thing that is ami able and correct, and charging Mr. Lee and other passengers, as welt as the Captain and mate of the ship, with insolence and unpro. soked abuse. has called forth reply from 1 Messrs. Geo. w. Lee, John James. and John Henley, (the last named gentleman from Dub. ! in,) who present most unfav vOrable view of 1is character-and If the half they relate of jim be true, he is unworthy the patronage ,ven of blackgnards. He associated familiar v with the sailors in the Orecastle-played| cards with them-treated and drank wi:h hem. and fought with them. His freedom with the sailors displeased the Captain and nate. who expostulatcd against such conduct. He afterwards abused the captain and mate of the cO0kery-alarmed tho la- dashed them to " see if they were sure fre," md paraded up and down, threatening to shoot any d--d Yankee that came in his the ship was ga d--d Yankee built vessel, and could not sail''--and that the . Americans were race of d-d mOngrels," sSc. When the passengers intimated to him ] hat his abuse of the Americans might cause him to be hissed from the stage in the United States, he replied, Fl ask no favOrs of tho i-d Yankees. They hiss me from the stage I'D have people in the Theatre to take them by their d-d noses. and sling them out."- As to insulting Mrs. Anderson" MT. Lee says he "knows not what Mr.Anders0n means. ! nnlesa 1t was that the same attentions might ! not have been paid to her that virtu0us wo- men have right to claim" He says that ! Anderson was accompanied by a woman. more conspicuously known in England as i Madame BartolOzzi. Mr. Lee regrets that the Captain of the ship had sailed again for { England before AndersOn's abatement appear ed-as he would have been able to answer 1 for himself the charges made against him in that statement. Alter the reply from Lee and others appeared, the Boston audience re- ! fused to tolerate Anderson any longer. and the Managers attempt to al- lay their excited feelings. and hts request that Anderson might be permitted tO explain. the people insisted on his retiring from the Thea tre.
 A Providence paper of the 10th inst. says that it is ru,nored that MT. and Mrs. Ander son were to he introduced into the Theatre in that place, and that a party of 5 or 600 strong had already organised to drive him out. A
