There are MANY deyilsithat walk this world

A WOMAN HusBAND.--A few days ago,
respectable female waited upon an at |
torney in this town, and asked has advice
in a case Of very peculiar nature. 1t
seems that her husband, master brick
laver, who had been in the habit OF trust
ing her implicitly in his business, even
leaving to her management the oook-keeP-
ING requisite in his trade, had OF late, tor
some cause or other, refused to allow her
the usual weekly sum for housekeeping
Having, also, in other respects treated her,
as she conceived, in an unkind manner,
shecame to take advice as she should pro-
cced, under the circumstances, against
her husband, whom to the no small aston
ishment Of the professional gentlemen she
wasthen consulting, she declared to be not
a man, but woman. Legal lnvestlga-
ton ofthe affair was made at the police
Office. which resulted in the separation Of
the unnatural paired couple. From what
could be CLEANED Of the history OF this te-
male husband, it would seem that she assu-
med the ,garb and character OF "a boy at an
early age, and that, in that character, she
was apprenticed, at the age of sixteen or
seventeen, to master builder, IN one OF
the large towns oc Yorkshire.
Being of good exterior, with proposes
sing appearance and manners, and OF tea
lures rather handsome, the supposed young
man attracted the attention OF many ie-
males in the same condition OF lie
and amongst others was the one who
afterwards became the wife. The attcn-
tons Of the young bricklayer were accePta-
Bile and accepted, and the union took place
shortly after the expiration ofthe aPpren-
,iceship. Soon afterwards, this couple
came to Manchester, we are told, about

ist thousands are ignorant of the first rudiments
of education who seek our country, and time must
be afforded them for improvement IN the various
pursuits which control their habits and regulate
their intercourse with our citizens, before they can
be qualified to perform the duties or appreciate the
privileges of American citizens. The iundamen-
tai principles of the European Governments, and
that of the United States, differ in every essential
particular: there, no regard is had TO the diffusion
Of knowledge among the lower class OF the peo-
pie; here, one of the first duties of the Govern
ment is to communicate intelligence to the young
through system OF common-school educaton
the most humble arc educated, and all fitted foI
usefulness when they arrive at mature age. With
improved judgments with minds cultivated, with
their moral, social, and physical condition rcgula
ted and enlarged by educaton, they at once enter
upon the various duties Of life, qualified to become
useful citizens; and without these essential re-
qusites, in some degree, the privilege Of citizen
ship must he exercised in an imperfect manner.
Great complaint is also made that frauds arc
practsed in the courts Of inferior jurisdiction, in
procuring certificates Of naturalization; this may
in some degree, be avoided by submitting the ex.
ecu,ion of the law TO the United States courts
or the supreme courts of tho several States. 1t is
also thought advisable TO require previous dec
laraton i'm all cases be made Of record, Of the
intentions Of the applicant TO become citizen, to
