OKAH TUBBEE AND HIS BRIDE.-Our read
srs will probably recolect a commune alton
published in the Standard some time since Civ.
ing a sketch of the romantic history of Okah
Tubbee, and his marriage with Miss Sarah
Marletf, whose relatives reside in this CITY,
1t appears that The marriage has turned out
rather unhappily for the lady, who has brought
charge of bigamy against her dusky lord, in
the Canadian Courts, where the matter is now
undergoing legal investigation.
The Rochester Advertiser calls Okah Tub.
bee "vagrant Indian" and says ne was
brought before the Police Court at Toronto,
on the l1th inst, on charge OF bigamy-a re-
QUESTION having been made for him by the au-
thorities on this side. The principal witness
against him and in support of the requisitiOn.
was Sarah Marlett, alas Tubbee, formerly Of
Syracuse, whom he married ut the Falls-him-
self having wife at the time. The Toronto
Patriot, in giving summary of the examina-
ton, says:
"rhe injured lady, who gave her evidence
with all the coo!ness in life, notwithstanding
the peculiarly OF her position, states that she
met the Chief, as he calls himself, at Niagara
Falls !; and, having strong feeling ot sympa-
Inv with the Indian race, she, after bref &C
quainlance, married him at the Falls; and TO
! prove the fact she produced her marriage cer-
lifcate. After their marriage, they went to
Lock port, Tonawanda, and other places in the
neis hborhood, returning, after an absence OF
DAYS, to the Falls. She stated that she had
lived with Tubbee as his wife, off and on, for
nearly two months, and finally left him at Ca
yugu-he promising TO TeJoln her at Syracuse,
where her friends resided, IN the course OF a
fortnight. This promise, however, he failed
in fulfilling. She admitted that she was aware,
shortly after her marriage, that her husba nd
had with him an Indian woman, by whom he
had had son but she implicitly believed his
statement that this person was not his wife,
but that, in his capacity of Chief, ne might take
any Indian woman he liked under his protec-
ton, as he called il and he promised that he
would send her back 10 her friends"
Mr.. Boulton, who appeared for the defence,
read from Syracuse paper grandiloquent
account of the courtship and marriage OF Tub
bee and Miss Marleu, convulsing the Court
and spectators with laughter, though il had
Iiule 10 do with the pending question before
the Court.
A MIR. Skinner was then examined, who fes-
lifted 10 the frequent admission OF Iubbee tnat
he was legally married TO an Indian woman
before espousing Miss Marleti. These al
missions were objected TO by the defence, anu
the court decided 10 hold the matter IN aoey>
ance a few days, for The purpose OF consulting

If,hs decision was favorable, Tubbee would

CONSPIRACY DISCOVERED IN ITALY.
A letter from Rome gives some details of the
recent arrests of members of the revolutionary
committee, residing in Lombardy, Tuscany and
the Roman States. 1t appears that the Aus
trian Consul at Genoa, hearing of the death of
person, a Lombard by birth, went to place
seals on his property, when 1t was found that
the deceased was one ofthe paymasters ofthe
conspiracy. The mode of carrying on the cor.
respcndence was also discovered-being by
means of silk handkerchiefs, the colors OF which
disappeared by chemical washing, the writing
being brought out by the same operation. In
const quence of this discovery, various arrests
have taken place at Fonara, and other places in
the Roman States.
