In the course of ih" past summer, several gentle men Of wrath and standing voluntarily cane forward and made the required arrangements Cor his liberation, upon the limits, and the cap- live emerged from his imprisonment of more than fHur years. How his wants were sup. piled in prison is not known, except perhaps tU one or two individuals but whatever his means of support may have been while there, it would seem that they were withdrawn on his liberation, for after vainIy attempting to gain subsistence by his literary attachments, the young gentleman embarked in air humbie branch of mechanical industry. in the prose- cUiiOn of which he was mOre successful. 4 few weeks since, while b,sily employed at his trade, he received a letter Informing him of the death of his father, by which event he be- came entitled to bar"ncicy, and an estate of ten thousand pounds sterling per anDur1. At the moment when this intelligence reached him. he was engaged in fulfilling large order n his line of business for country mere hant, and il is said that without displaying any ex- citement dt his unexpected good fortune, he quietly put the letter into his pocket, went ou with his work, and until the order was com- plrted, made nO change in his habits or ar- engagements. That done, however, he closed his shop, wound up his concerns meihOdieak ly, called in his debts. and we are informed, is now -on his way to England tn possess hinr- self of his inheritance. These are the facts of the case. s0 far as they have become knowr even tO the few who are at all acquainted with the matter. Other circumstances oe still more extraordinary character, are sug- grstrd in explanation of the mystery, hut as these. however plausible. appear to rest only D conjecture, we do not feel authorized to re- peat ihem.-N.
