B0- A fracas occurred at the Ocean
House at Newport, on Tuesday. 1t ap-
pears that an Italian, whose pretensions
to the title Of" Count" have been con-
sidered by his matrimonial connections
equivocal, some time ago contrived to
inveigle the affections of young lady,
a member of family whose respecta-
bllity is less dependent on distance. Some
pecuniary appliances are said to have
been effective ia procuring the absence
of the I" Count" for a season, but on his
re-advent, his brother-in law, so far
from hailing his new relative with emo
tions of joy, commenced an assault
which resulted in bringing both parties
under the operation Of the law.

we are legally divorced p
No, Mrg. Mackenzie, I regret for
your sake that divorce is impossible.
This act of separation, however, leaves
you as free as it is possible to be, con-
sidcring the nature of the case. I am
sorry that the amount settled upon you
is no larger but, as I told you, l have
lost nearly all my fortune this sum is
all that remains, to which my creditors
have no just claim, and now that l am

sum will be sufficient to support you in

ny. A decision of much interest

rD. A decision of much interest,
says the Warren Telegraph, was made
by Chief Justice Shaw, of Massachu-
sets, at the July term Of the Supreme
Judicial Court, of that State, sitting at
Nantucket.
Prentice Lanphcr,a a citizen of West
erly, in this State, was sued by Daniel
Durham, the fish warden, of Nantucket,
to recover the penalty incurred for vio-
lating the laws of that State in regard
to fisheries. Lanphcr having infringed
the provision forbidding the use of sei-
mes for fishing within one mile of Nan
tuckct, Tuckernuck, Smiths, Muskee-
ket, and Gravel Islands. The fact
being admitted, the defendant denied
the right of the State to restrain him in
the matter. The Court decided that
the law was based on a question of use
iuness which belonged to the State TO
decide, her right to do so not having
been parted with to the general govern
mcnt, and that the defendants coasting
and fishing license, deriyed from the
U. S., conferred on him no privilege to
disregard the State law, and that inter.
national law viewed the jurisdiction OF
a State as extending three miles from
the shore, measuring from line drawn
from hcadland to headland, wherever
the water is so narrow as to enable the
naked eye to distinguish objects across
it clearly. judgment for plaintiff ac-
cordingly.
