Mr,. Miller has returned to her friends
in this city, She states that it was her
intention when she left the hotel at
Niagara, TO have thrown herself off the
bridge which crosses over to Goat Is
land, Just above the cataract; nut, on
arriving at the place, she had not the
courage to do it--"shc was coward on
instinct" She had, previous to leav-
ing the house, put her children to sleep,
written letters to her parents, and one
to the landlord, stating her intention,
and requesting them to be kind to her
babes; she had also cut of her curls,
and left them with the letters, in
conspicuous place OH Il e table. From
that time to the present nothing posi-
tive has been heard from her. 1t was
rumored that she had left the country
with a gentleman, and was travelling
on the continent of Europe. Her faith
er, however, believed she was some-
where in the vicinity of Philadelphia,
snd spent several weeks in fruitless
search. Returning in June or July he
died of broken heart. Net long
since, brother Of hers died at Sara
toga. His death was probably accel-
Grated by the same cause. Learning
the condition of her family, l believe
she intimated to them by letter where
she could be found, and her willing
ness to return.
Accordingly friend Of the family
went after her, last week, and brought
her home to mourn with-her widowed
mother over the ruin she had caused
Her children are with their father, Ma
Ior Miller, somewhere a, the So uIh.--
She states and believe it is generally
understood here, that domestic difficult
ties drove her TO the rash act of leav-
ing her children and destroying her
self, and that after shuddering on the
brink of that awful gulf, she changed
her plan, rnd buried herself in a con-
vent or nunnery near Baltimore. She
positively denies having been in com
pany with any gentleman, but found
her way to the monastery alone, and

Us In the remarks which we made re-
lalivc to the re-nterment of the remains OF
,he late Rev. Dr. Pa,ten by the side of
those Of the late Rev. Dr. Hopkins, We
were accidentally led into an error which
We desire TO correct. We stated that dii-
ferences existed between The two Church
es, and the inference might be drawn that
as these two eminent Divnes presided ov-
er the two Churches, feuds al SO existed be-
tween them. This was not the case. We
are reliably informed that the TWO Congrc-
galional Churches, up To the time OF the
death ol DR.. Hopkins, enjuyed 'he most en-
tire harmony :; and 80 pure and deep was
the sympathy of the two Pastors that they
called each other by the appel'a,on of
" Father" and 4" Son" The last tine
that DR.. Hopsins walked out, DR.. Patten,
cho, at ths, period, was comparatively
young man, accompanied him home when
they arrived at the house, DIR. Hopkins
SAID, " What need have any more OF
cane, since have your arm" and gave
/ his cane or long staff, mounted with ivory,
! into The hands of Dl. Paten, who used 1t
ever aiteru ards, and lcckoned II among hls
! choice things. So great was Dr. Pattcns
! yeneration for the character OF DR.. Hop
/ kins, that the last work Of his life was TO
write a vindicatiun OF ii, entitled, :" Life Of
Hopkins" which has since been published
lie knew the obloluy which had been cast
upon the Theological sentiments OF DIR.
Hopkins, but he beloved the time would
come when they would prevail, to the con-
fusion Of all gainsayers and although DIR,
Pat,en had three thousand of his own
written Sermons, he preferred the publica
! uo, of that little book before thcm all,
|, thinking that, as he knew him better and
loved him more Than ANY otter man, so he
vas better qualified To rescue his name
from the taunts OF men.
We are Aappy to make this correction,
and to know that these two distinguished
/ Divines weio as lovely and pleasant in
their lives" as 4" in their death they were
/ not divided"

Cry DIGNITARY IN TRoUBLB.=
Capt. Forbo, commander of the pc
lice of the second municipality Of
New Orleans, on Saturday evening.
started in a steamer 10 60 aero, q
Lake Ponchartrain with party OF
gentlemen, where they were TO spend
the Sabbath quietly. On board the
boa, they took game ofcards, but
a stranger who made one OF the con
pany took all their dimes, either
through his superior knowledge of the
game, or by Ills more skillful arrange
mcnt Of tie cards. Fhe party felt
sorely at losing all their money so ear
~ in their excursion, and they took
their deMerous companion into the
woods and compelled him to disgorge.
Mr.. Fuur-Ace had some doubts Of the
regularity and legality Of this proceed
ing, and upon his application to the
magistrate, the conservators Of justice
were apprehended and locked up for
highway robbery. All attempts a, bail
were refused, as it was Sunday, and
they remained in limbo at the last ae;
counts. One account states that the
lucky one was a respectable mcrchan-
in Mobile, who had a cooler head and
quicker perceptions than his oppo.
