The Narrative is the unadorned illusions of a soul
THAI has been begued by Priestly solicitations kept
in captivity during five years; deluded-lost-bewil-

She presents with the picture of POpery, il exist

Pnesy control of Rome. Many of the most Important
statements that she makes are confirmed by testimony
that be rejected This have introduced into
the notes. Among other credentials, the thrty-two
letters of the Rev. Father Pies, stand the least
spicuous.
That these letters were written by the Reverend Fa-
ther whose signature they bear, ready to prove
by two witnesses who in this city. We prove
them too by confronting them with his hand writ

We are sorry TO have ii to state, that the auhoress,
on her way liz the steamboat from Philadelphia to New
York. had her trunk stolen, carried away by mistake
In this were important scrps and several letters
written bv her Priest the Rev. Father Canto, and by
other Priests. These would have been inesimube

the satisfaction Of asCertaning where they may be

We can say that no pecunary inducement led TO the
writing of this work. She scuated by no other
motive than the love of God and the good OF the world.
Her health is now delicate and weak, that death
seems already to have marked her as his own. She is
wasting away under a complaint that seems bent on

ATrExPT AT SUIcIDE.-On Saturday evening" about
dusk, Mr.. Baum, Inspector of the Washington Market
brought the police Office, very genteelly dressed
young man, under the following circumstances. He
had by some other gained admission into the
loft of store in the neghborhood of the Market and
had lung himself with piece of rope he had found ly
ing there. Some person going into the loft him
hanging and instantly cut him down, in time to save
him from the commission of the dreadful act. When
examined by Justice Wyman to his name and resi-
dence and the reasons that could have urged him to
the commission of the awful crime, his plainly
showed that his reason somewhat impaired, yet
from them we could gather the following facts.
His name is Peter McAuey-he had inst arrived
from Philadelphia, and is mason by lrade-his age
was about twrntyihree and the only reason he could
or would give for his conduct, that person
had sandered him. and injured his character, and he
would rather be out Of the world thar in it.
The magistrate humanely ordered that he should be
given in charge to the Commissioners of the Aims
house. with request that every precaution should be
taken TO prevent the Of similar conduc, on
his part.
