EFFECTS OF JEALOUSY. "A Mexi-
can committed suicide on Tuesday
evening, in house called the Golden
Rule, on Pacific street, in consequence
Of a disappointment in love. It~ap-
pears that he had been living with the
woman who kept the house, also
Mexican, but having been smitten with
the charms of Scnorita who lives in
that classic region, Cat Alley, he COM
menced series ofepistles to her. The
course of his love was as little smooth
as might have been expected, and the
girl rejected his suit. The former
mistress meanwhile had got an inklins
of the affair, and fired with the passion
ate jealousy Of her race, commenced
upbraiding him for his falseness.--
On Tuesday evening he came into
the Golden Rule with some powder in
a paper, which he mixed in a tumbler
with water, and, telling the mistress of
the house that it was arsenic, drank
the greater part of it She took the
tumbler, as she said, to taste it, but
as it reached her lips, he snatched it
from her and dashed it to pieces. Tie
moment afterward, he was taken with
7iolent recthings, and, in the course Of
a few hours, expired. Picayune.

The SPANISH DUEL This affair
continues to be as much wrapt in mys-
terry as ever. Upon information con-
veyed to Capt. Blunt, that the survi>
vor of the deadly conflict slept night
ly under certain house, he and Off
Ger Duffy proceeded thither on Mon
day night and arrested two persons,
one young Mexican, who gave his
name as Tomas Gomez, and who was
supposed at the time to be the party
sought for, from the fact of his hat be-
ing pierced with a pointed weapon,
and cut similarly made upon one of
his arms. His case being examined
before the Recorder yesterday, no fur
ther testimony than the above was
given against him. One woman in
whose house the deceased, Miguel,
was last seen testified that he was
there in company with tho .Spaniard
Marcellino, who is reported to have
acknowledged the killing of Miguel
in duel. 1t was further clearly
shown that Marcellino was a different
person from the accused, and the lat
ter was discharged 1t appears to be
impossible to learn the particulars of
the affair, owing to the apparent de-
termination of those likely to know
them to preserve them secret Her
