THE ROMANCE OF oUAcKERY.

The English papers relate an incident IN that
country which doubtless has many parallels III the
United States, though they do net, in this broad
land become so public they would in smaller
territory. The facts in this were as follows:
John Glen, an illiterate young man, who had
been engaged as a cleaner of clocks, III august
last became ambitious Of greater wealth and dis
tinction than he could achieve in his employment,
He therefore turned doctorand vcnder Of medicines
uandbills were therefore extensively circulated,
announcing the advent of Dr. Nillpughby, from
the Botanical College, Baltimore, United States,
and he soon obtained so successful business that
he had two medical establishments iii the full tide
ofsucccssful experiment. one at Dundee, and the
other at Edinburg. ....
In September he made love to end married one
OF his patients, a young lady named Jean Sinclair,
of an old and Respectable family, possessed of a
handsome property at the village of GuardbridSe,
in Tifedire.
Previous to this, however, the doctor had intro
Iuced to the Sinclairs young lady as his sister,
Miss Jessie Willoughby. The doctor and Jean
drove to St Andrews to get the marriage bands
proclaimed. and being accompanied by Miss Jessie
and David Sinclair, Jeans brother, it was arranged
at the suggestion Of the doctor, that this pair
should also give in their names. In due course
both couples were married
DIR Wlloughby and his wife removed to
l'AcAAN
house; David and Jessie remained at Guardbridge,
and all seems for little while to have gone on
smoothly.
One fine morning, however, David waited
upon by certain Mr. Allsop. He too had travel
led the country as a doctor, and had been friend
of Glen's until, dispute arising between them,
Glen gave him sound beating, and they parted
company. Anxious to pay this trifing debt,
Alsop now told David Sinclair what hc knew OF
Glen'a history, informing him also that the lady
who now rejoccd in the title of Mrs. Sinclair was
not the sister Of Glen, but her real name was
Jessie Buchanan and that she and Glen had lived
together for several years as man and wife.
The news led to high words between David
and Jessie. Reproached by her new husband,
she bcthought herself Of claiming her first love,
and, with this view, proceeded to Dunfermlne.
But the doctor would have nothing to say to her,
and Jessie, to be revcnged on all parties, went to
the Session Clerk Of st. Andrews, and communi-
Gated the fraud they had committed. The result
was that the worthy pair were apprehended, and
were, on the 9th of this month, tried and convict
ed of the offence of causing false entries to bemade
in the register Of marriages, and received sentence
he of eighteen months, and she of twelve
months Imprisonment.

the dead body OF Hugh Wilson, his features scarce
ly recognizable, his forehead smashed in and the
blood and brains oozing out proiuyely, large and
bloody club by his side, with which the woman,
wife OF Drtni;un, said she had done the deed in
defence Of her husband. The plain story that the
two told was, that Wilson (intoxicated) had forced
the lock Of the back door, had icrkcd Branhalr

MUssELMAN PUNIsIfMENT.-A letter from
Bcyroot, published in a New York journal, says
that at criminal trials in Turkey, they have no
counsel on either side, 10 long speeches, no legal
tcchnicalites When the prisoner gives an i'm
probable explanation Of the matter laid to his
charge the President Of the Court rates him sound
ly, and interrupts him with the exclamation of
"Bosh.'
1t is said there is strong indisrostion in Tur-
key to punish cu prits Of any kind, the swearing on
both sides being so wonderfully hard, that the
members of the court. conclude that Allah only
can tell who is uttering the truth. Even if guilt
he evident, the effect ota severe punishment upon
the friends Of The prisoner is taken into consdcra-
tion and if be be rich, they let him off easily. If
poor, he is punished with sufficient severely to
make up for his crime and that Of the last rich
criminal who has escaped his deserts. 1t is thus
clear that Turkey is fast rising to own standard
Of civilization. Mention is made Of gentleman
who was 50 unfortunate as to cut down Custom

who was sentenced to give liberal sum to the
