Capt. Roberts and the sirius.
We have received the following letter from the en-
terprsing agents of the Sirius to which we give the
precedence ever all other matter.
GENTLEnzs-W We send you copy Of q letter from
Capt. Roberts, which please notice.
We also beg to call your attention to singular CO.
incidence as relates to the Sirius which was the FIRST
steamer across the Atlantic.
The pilot. Thomas Hope the Oldest pilot IN this
city, brought the first steamship the Sirius, Capt no
berts) into this port from Sandy Hook-the same pi-
lot carried the first steamship out to sea, after which
he resigned his Offices and the same pilot was the nrst
to greet her arrival the second time at this port.
This coin cidence while it does honor 10 the worthy
and noble pilot, certainly does equal honor 10 the
steamer Sirius, as the first TRANSATLANTIC steam navl-
gator. Yours, &c.

DESPERATE CASE OF BIoAMv.-Thomas Doyle, a
strapping Irshmsn, with brilliant par of red whis-
ksrs and otherwise Of splendid parts fell under the
accusation of one Catherine Ahern, TO whom he was
married on the llh Of April last, charged with hav-
ing married on the 10Th Of January preceding, one
Eliza Kegan said Eliza beng still living. The proof
Of Thomas infdelity being established beyond q
doubt, warrant issued for his arrest and put in
the hands OF officers Gilbert y. Hays and waldron,
street. Finding himself cornered, the perured Lo-
thano crawed upon his hands and feet the roof of
a rear building, being stories high, where he was
by the officers and 1.-THE moment the latter were
king preparations to secure him. he threw summerset
backwards of the roof made bound upon clothes
line in the yard in his descent and landed safely upon
his pins, which he was no sooner conscious ofhaving
accomplished than he began to make himself scarce
He was arrested before he had proceeded far and
brought before Justice Hopson, to whom he stated
that he had been married to something like half q
dozen wives before, but finding none Of them 70 suit
him, he had recourse to another selection, the same
by whom he stands accused. The prisoner argued
very sagely to the magistrate that as he had been
arrested upon the charge of having two wives living,
he could not be properly imprisoned for having six,
especially none Of them happened to answer HE
purpose The magistrate believing, with very good
reassn, that a man who had encountered himself
with such multiplicity OF wives in times like the pre-
sent could not be of sane mind, committed him for
further examination.

FROM THE GERMAN

In an ancient heather era OF the Savons,
there happened snce great war with the
Danes. Adaibero, Duke Of Saxony, who
had couuseIled it, nov, IN the hour OF ear
mes, conf CT. stood al the head of MS people.
There flew the arrows and the }lFehns;
there glanced many valiant blades On both
