wretchcd man. and all circumstances connect
cd with the case, that we thought would he OF
interest to our readers. We visited the ,
yesterday afternoon, and learned from the polite
Warden, Mr. Steever and the gentlenany
Clerk, MIR. kennard, that McCurry was indeed
very lll--the Physician of the institution DR..
Downes having been with him the greater pant
Of the day. He is greatly debiiltated; caused
in great measure, no doubt, by his travelling
from New York to this city. He has eaten
nothing but little Cruel, which has been pre-
pared for him by the Warden, stating as rea.
son, that his throat is in too bad a condition to
admit OF his swallowing any food of more
solid nature. He il cosfned in cell No ., the
one adjoining that in which Horn was so long
lncarceyatcd. In consequence of his extreme
debility, he is not ironcd as was cOntempla-
! ted, and every means Of comfort will be afford
ed him that humanity can devise. Msssrg.
, kurtz s Baker are constantly in the room with
/ him, day and night, to render him any aid that
may be required, and to keep a strict watch
! over him TO prevent his laying violent hands
upon his person. His Honor, the Mayor, in
company with Col. Hillen, visited him yester-
( day, no one else being allowed to enter his cell;
the visers of the jail and the physician hav-
ing, as we think, very prudently given such or
derS, until such time as he shall recover his
wonted health. The February Tenn of the
Criminal Court meets on Monday next when
ne will be indicted by the Grand Jury, and
doubtless have speedy trial.

two to make bargain, one may break it, and

pears that George, willy W ight, had laid him
self under some obligations to Catherine, and
upon his failing TO fulfil his promises she sought
the aid Of the law, and caused him 10 be i'm
merscd in prison. The tender heart of Cathc-
iine, soon afterwards prompted her, however,
TO make overtures to the cruel George and il
was agreed between them that upon Georges
conserving TO unite his fate with GATHERINGS, in
matrmony, that she would pay all damages
and procure his roleaso. Assent was readily gi-
ven; George was released; the time was fixed
for the nuptial festivities; the feast was prepar-
cd; friends were in attendance; the parson was
ready; Catherine was arraycd in bridal attire:
the appointed hour arrived; but, 10. where was
the groomi Who had seen or could tell any
thing Of the whereabouts of George? He was
not thar that's certaini And Catherine, poor
Catherine, is still heard to moan, for the absent
one, and hum:

BcaMiitM Brig. The new and beautiful brig,
Ann Barney, with her sails uniurled and a hap
Ply aud Joyous crew, dropped from the wharf,
and bid adieu to the Monumental City, on Sd
turday morning last with full and rich freight,

prosperous voyage.

tween the father and gentleman who was
present to buy the property, and the son inter
