the beautiful and fascinating widow, 1t may
without much stretch of Imagination, be sup

laid bis plans for a transfer Of the deposits,
which he soon accomplished, and instead OF
erecting villa On the banks Of lake Como he
established two daguerrotype saloons. This
was not ali, for he married a Miss HoHner

day morning, and now for the sequel.
Mrs Charles, it seems, made up her mind to
wreak her vengeance on her faithless swain BY
assaulting him, and then ending LIES troubles

went to Els establishment. She met him On
the sidewalk, and as quick as thought the gilt
teriDg blade had pierced his neck. As he
turned and reeled she inflicted two more
WOUNDS on bis left arm, and before the bystand-
ers could interfere she gave him another stab
in the high, when the dagger dropped from
her hand With the utmost GOODNESS she forced
her way through the crowd, to carriage and
was driven to her home, without being moles-

HORRIBLE MURDER IN FISH TowE.-The sea-

saturnaIia, and its career is bloot-stained area-
iy. We take the following from the Alexandria
Sentinel Of the 18Th ult,:
On Sunday night, a horrible murder was

TIE TREATY WITH PERsIA-The first sug-
estion concerning the opening of commercial
Citations with Persia was made about two years
incc b7 Prof. L. Z. Breisach, Of New York.
Nc rccoilect very we'll that at that time he bad
long and interesting conversation with US on
he subject, in which he dweIt upon the i'm
)ortance Of some mode Of diplomatic intercourse
With that power Of Asia, in order 10 take ad-
antagc OF any increase Of our commerce with
Is ports He spoke also Of the importance Of
appointing an agent Of our government to re-
jde at Irebizonde. At that time Prof Breisach
a memoi. on the subject TO Mr. Mar
y, our secretary Of state, in which he main
aimed that the Russia Turkish war, whatever
night be its issue, would inevitably lead to the
civilization Of Asia that commerce would then
flourish in the Mohammedan countries, and that
although the expor:s from the United States to
Persia were small, and but little was imported
hence, there was every prospect Of their in
;rease as soon as the war should be brought
0 an end The same views of the subject were
communicated by hin to some eminent ship
'"ners in this city. The author of the memoir
vent to Washington for the purpose ofsupport-
ng the views it contained Ex-secretary Mar
y seemed struck with the suggestions in the
memoir, which we have every reason to be-
IeYe were at that time entirely new to our
commercial men. They probably lead to the
negotiation Of the late treaty with the shah.
