affair has caused the most intense anguish
throughout highly respectable family, and
your correspondent will, in COMMUNICATION,
suppress the names they bear. No such
respect is due to the base and ungratefuI man
who has been the cause of so much misery; but
as this disclosure would lead to the other, it will
perhaps be better to be silent on that head also,
until some further disposition is made OF the case
He is Frenchman by birth, who had been taken
into the family OF physician OF this city, through
charitable feelings. The wife OF the doctor,
young French lady, but a few years married,
and the mother of two children, was be.
gued by the arts Of this deceiver, and
af,er plundering his benefactor of few hundred
dollars in money, he consummated the blacklist
of crimes by rcbbing the husband of the partner
he had chosen for life, and the guilty pair EN-
barked together on board the brig VIM. J. Wat
son, bound for the island of Cuba, carrying the
youngest child with them, and leaving the other.
As soon as the flight was discovered, pursuit was
Immediately made by land, and the vessel over
taken at Bombay Hook. The parties were all
brought back to the city, the wife to the home of
her husband and the seducer to the cells OF Moy-
amensing prison, to await his trial for robbery.
To screen his unhappy victim from public expo
sure, may perhaps enable the scoundrel to escape
with impunity, from the consequences of the
black deed which accompanied the robbery; but
as the Judge will doubtless be made aware Of his
whole guilt his sentence will not he light one.
The demand for ship carpenters continues, and
a number went to work at the Navy Yard this
morning ut SS3 per day. This operates rather
harsh upon the private ship-builders, as those
ployed upon their work have been sedaced to
leave by this extraordinary price, and at least
one launch which was to have taken place ON
Wednesday will have to be postponed in conse-
quence.
The rain, or some other cause, INSTRUCTED the
working oil the telegraphs, south and west yester-
day, but hey both resumed operations this morn
ing, and will doubtless continue throughout the
day and evening
detained here week ten days. She has been
considerably ghtened by the discharge OF a por-
ton OF her fuel, and from the fact that as her
hull rises up, the leaks are found TO decrease, it
is evident that they were caused by the caullfing
about her water line being faulty, probably occa.
stoned by the unfavorable weather during which
it was done. She will not be ready to 20 upon
the railway before Wednesday. If she was really
intended to participate in the attack upon the
castle OF San Juan, it is probable that this untor
tunate detention will deprive her OF the honor,
and her gallant officers OF the opportunity Of dis.
tinguishing themselves.
