SINGULAR CHARGE OF RAPE.-Justice Rowe
Ramps office was yesterday thronged by an anxious
crowd Of individuals, TO hear the particulars Of
case which has caused some excitement upon the
other side Of the Rhine. The parties stand in the
delicate relationship of uncle and neice the defend
ant being the husband Of the aunt Of the proseoutrx
II seems that the prosecuting witness, whose name
Is Philfpena Engert, was during the month Of Sep
TENDER, 1853, residing with the defendant, Jacob
Reinhart, whose house is ON Clark, one door from
Freeman street. But here We will give an abstract
Of the testimony Of philippine herself. She said
that on the evening of the l4th of September she
had been to quilting party, and that upon return
ing to her uncles house which she entered through
stable in the rear, he met her. and taking violent
hold upon her, threatened that If she resisted he
would shoot her; he accomplished his purpose, all
the time holding handkerchief over her mouth to
prevent her screaming. Moreover that he had
some ten or twelve times previously attempted to
effect his purpose. After the outrage, she went up
stairs into her aunt's room, and laid down by her
side on the bed for half an hour, when Reinhart
came up and che retired to her own room. She
did not reveal the circumstance, because she felt
ashamed. On the 4th Of the following month, Goo
tober, she was married to Joseph Engert, and on
the 10th Of the present month the baby was born.
Her husband, two days after the birth, questioned
her as to It's paternity, and the lady then acknow.
lodged the little aar pas which had occurred in the
stable. Upon this the husband procured an alma
mac, and after examining the date, closed it with
will, exclaiming ut was all right" The examine
ton and cross examination Of this witness occupied
over couple Of hours at the close Of which, other
witness for the State being Called the counsel for
the defence made motion that the case be dismiss
ed the evidence throughout being utterly worthless
inasmuch as it tended to convict his client of the
crime charged. The lady had, in the scene Of the
stable, acted papably upon "Dean 6wift's advice
to maids overnice SO far as the struggle was con-
cerned, which. with the secresy observed by the
prosecutrix for long period would bs sunacicnt
to convince any unprudiced person that the charge
could not be sustained. The counsel for the State
was about replying, when the Justice, who had been
hot to stew the tongh part Of buffalo, looked at the
clock, and perceiving that it was six o'clock, dis
missed the case pro tenn, advising all parties to meet

Destructive FIRE AT ToRoNro.--We have again
to chronicle another disastrous fire which took
place on the night of the 10th inst, about half past
O'Clock, which consumed four splendid houses on
Shutter street, owned by r. ]. Preston Esq, and oc-
cupied by Rice Lewis, Esq, David Bouchan, Esq,
Thomas Henning, Esq, and Mr.. Steward, as q
boarding house. The fire Is supposed to have origi-
mated in stable in the of Mr.. Hennings house,
and quickly spread TO q row of out-houses, in rear
OF the houses that we're burnt, and consumed
them. From the out houses 1t soon spread to the
front row, and, for want of sufficient supply Of
water, these fine buildings were destroyed. The
tiremen were soon on the spot; but little or no wa
ter could be had. The hook and ladder companies
wrought wonders; but the engines had to stand
more than half the time doing nothing for want Of
water. Whose fault is this We shall try and find

amount.

PLEADING PovERTY.-On Saturday, an emigrant,
just from New York, called on Mr.. Thompson for
add to pursue his journey west, stating in all
imaginable ways that he was entirely destitute of
money to proceed on his journey. He then went SO
far as to make an affidavit to that effect. Mr.. 7.
gave him an order for entertainment at one Of the
public houses till this morning, when the man pre-
sented hmself again for aid. As the superintendent
was about to write an order for a passage, he
thought he would ascertain the contents Of the
mendicant's pockets, and in doing 80, found in q
watch fob fine gold watch chain, ten eagles, and
nine dollars in other money. The fellow begged to
be let of, said the money belonged to his brother,
with numerous other protestations equally reliable.
Finally, he was told to remain in the Office TIL Nh.
T. returned from the police Office, which he did not
do, but cut stick, and was found slowed away in
one of the cars. He was hauled out, and taken to
the police Office, where he plead for mercy in the
most abiect manner. On being removed to the
lookup he sank prone upon the door in pure terror,
when he was reprieved, and suffered to depart.
This morning, another party applied for aid, when,
on examination, SIS were found upon one of them.
They got of without aid.-Rochsster Advestise,,
