ExcHANeINa WIFE. Rather a singular
case was disclosed on Saturday, in the re port of
committee of the State prison upon the petit
ton of Samuel Weston for releuse. BY the
statement of Mr. Copeland, it appears that the
prisoner was committed under the following cir
cumstances: About five years ago, his wife was
stolen and carried off by a man who, until that
time, had lived in his neghborhood, and who
also had wife OF his own. Probably, however
The abduction was not without some decree of
volIuon on the part of the stolen property her
self. Poor Weston was quite disconsoate under
his bereavement but being somewhat of SINH
lar body some mischievous fellows advised him
to make up for his loss by taking the other
mans wife who had been left behind with
out any husband. Believing hat fair exchange
was no robbery, he concluded to do SO, and
with The lady's consent he took her home, called
it all square, and every thing going
smoothly again, TO the satisfaction of all parties.
His happiness, however, was doomed to be a.
gain interrupted ; for he complained of, Or
rested, tried, convicted, and for this act so inno-
Gently committed on his part, he was sentenced
TO Six years imprisonment. Five years of this
term will expire in February next, and he now
very humbly petitoned the Legislature to abate
the remaining year. From The testimony of MIR
Pi!lsbury, the Warden Of the prison, if appeared
that the poor fellow was u very harmless, inof.

mously .-Connecticut Courant.

OUTRAGE. The Boston Times gives an
account of shocking outrage, attempted
upon the Steamboat John w. Richmond, in
the harbor of New York, jeopardizng the
lives of rs persons : 1t appears that the
Osce ola, chartered by the proprietors ofthe
Monopoly Line, and manned by the crew
and officers of the Narragansett, run into
the Richmond two or three times on Satur-
day evening, for the purpose Of crpling or
disabling that popular boat. The passen-
gers, about one hundred in number, have
published an account of the outrage, and
signed their names TO it. The guns Of the
Richmond were loaded, with the intention
Of firing into the pilot house of the Osceola,
if she came on again TO the attack and a
substantial number of passengers stood
ready, in case Of contact to make fast to
the Osceola, aud take possession Of that
boat by general boarding. But the speed
of the Richmond, and the cool, judicious
management ofCapt. Townsend, prevented
the necessity ola resort to the violence and
