take his place above. Harrington and Ma
hony went up very soon after; the latter
thought he could distinguish sail, and
raised shout Of joy, upon which those
below Immediately came up. A ship was
clearly discornablc, and apparently bear
ing her course towards them. Signals
were hoisted with as much alacrity as the
weakness Of the survivors would allow,
and, when she approached, and was al
most within bail, their apprehension OF her
passing by, like the former vessel, was SO
great, that they held up the hands end
feet of O'Brien to excite commlsseratloD.
The vessel proved to be the Agenora, an
American. 7ohe put off boat 10 their as
sistance without any hesitation, although
the weather was so rough at the time, ant
there seemed 10 be such an apprehension
of its swapping. that the crew came on

POLICE OFFIcE.-ExrRAoRDINARY CASE
OF A FEMALE HUsBAND.-A paragraph APP
peared in this paper or Saturday relative
to a female who was found intoxicated in
the street, on Friday night, dressed in
mems clothes. The account she gave OF
herself turns out to be also false, or at
least she has since told different story, in
consequence of further and more extra
ordinary iscovery having been made in
relation to her. On Saturday morning a
decently dressed woman called at the 30
lice office, and asked TO see James Walk
er, Qhe name by which the female called
herself before her sex was discovered, }
| who she said was her husband. This wo
man was informed Of the discovery which
bad been made, and was permitted to see
the person in question, TO whom however
she declined speaking, and went away
In consequence of this occurrence, James
or rather Jane Walker, was again brot'
before the magistrate, and underwent a
mother examination, 10 which she stated
that she was native of Liverpool: that
her real name is George Moore Wilson,
and that George is name commonly Civ
en- TO females in England; that both her
parents died when she was very young, &
that when che was twelve years old, in
consequence of being i'll treated by her
friends, she ran away from tn EN-, put on
boys clothes, and made her way to Scot
land, the native place OF her parents
When she arrived there, she went TO
work in factory. still retaining her boys
dress, and remained in it until she had
nearly arrived at manhood, when she mar
rled Miss Eliza Cummings with whom
she set sail for Quebec two days after their
marriage, A few days alter their mar
rage, she impaired the secret of her
sex TO her wife; but Notwithstanding this
the two females have lived together ever
since a. man AMI wife. Fifteen years
have passed since their Union, during
which il appears they experienced great
variety OF fortune, but kept the secret of
the husbands sex so well, that it never
before transpired, and remains even un.
known TO The wile's father, who has resi-
ded for some years with them. As the
first account which this woman gave of
herself appears 10 he false, this one may
be also untrue-but il stands corroborated
to certain extent by the wife having cal.
led 10 see her on Saturday, and by the
vexatlon and rage she evinced on hearing
that her husbands sex was discovered
and also by marriage certificate having
been found on the prisoners person, Ger.
tlyiOg that the marriage was solemnized
at the time and place which she stated in
her examination. The magistrate consid
cred the matter altogether So extraordina
ry. that he has detained her until it can
be more fully inquired into-.N I. Jour.
