Adyices from the Army Of the Potomac
up TO last night, indicate all quiet and in
good spirits. Brigadier General Curtis
is ordered TO report TO General Pope.
Mcclellan has issued an address 20 the
army on the achievements of the last ten
days, saying you have succtoded in
changing your base of operations by a
flank movement, always regarded as the
most hazardous Of military expeditions.
You have saved all your material, all
your trains, and all your guns except a
few lost in battle, taking in return guns
and colors from the enemy. Under ev-
cry disadvantage Of numbers and neccs-
sarily of position, you have in every con-
ilict beaten back your foes with enor-
nous slaughter.
We are prepared to meet the enemy,
who may at any time attack you. Let
them come and we will convert this re-
pulse into a final defeat. Your Government
is strengthening you with the resources
Of great people. On this, our national
birth day, we declare to our foes who
are rebels against the best interests Of
mankind, that this army shall enter their
capital.

DR.. Rose, sayins-"YOu see, brother, old az
am, have beau. The doctor, who perusc'
the note with some attention, instantly declar"'
1t to he Mr.. IIOwes handwriting
This, of course, surprised all the company
and indeed so much affected Mrs Howe, tha
she tainted away. On her recovery it wu
agreed that the whole party should accompany
I her, next evening to the park ; aud they had II II
been there many minutes when the lost husband
came to them, and after embracing his wife, and
saiuting friends, walked home with them, to-
possession of his house and wife, and lived with
her in great harmony until his death
1t appeared that, instead of going to the
Tower, as he said, he had actually gone 10
farther than little street in Westminster. Who c
he took u room, for which he paid five or I
shillings week; and changing his name, aud
Disgusting himself by wearing wig flor he was
fair man,, he had escaped detection, and re-
manned in that lodging during the whole time Of
his supposed absence. Even when the Act of
Parliament was applied for, he had enjoyed the
pleasure of reading the progress of it in the
papers, at little coffee house near to his lodg-
ings; and when his wife removed to Brewer
street, he contrived to get acquainted with man
OF the name Of Salt, corn-ohandler, who lived
directly opposite to her residence. Salt sup
posed him to be bachelor and became so fond
Of his company that he generally asked him to
dinner twice week, when Howe used to watch
his wife's house with so much apparent curiosity,
that Salt often recommended her to him as
very suitable wife. On Sundays he regularly
went to Salts pew, in st. Jamess Church, whence
he could see his wife without being seen by her
"A practice which he seduously adhered to
until the existence and return.
Though he cheerfully told oil these circum-
stances, no persuasion of his wife or friends
could prevail on him to assign any reason for his
extraordinary conduct; but he owned that he
had taken with him for subsistence between one
and two thousand pounds. in gold and bank
notes, which, after great economy, was then all
expended. Discovery, of course, became neces-
sary for further supply; and, indeed, some Of
his friends surmised that, if he could have raised
the money without discovery, he would still have
remained concealed in his obsourity.

A wIFE wIrHoUT 4 HUSBAND.

DR.. King relates tho following aneedote lie
states that in the carly part of the Inst century,
he knew u Mr.. Howe, sensible, well-dispOsed
man, possessed of an Independent fortune, aud
married to II young lady Of good family, of
agreeable person and manners, and who, for the
first seven or eight years of their marriage, made
him an excellent wife.
Without any previous dispute or difference, he
rose one morning very carly, and told her that
he was obliged to go 10 the Tower, to transact
some particular business and the same day,
about noon, she received note from him, iu-
forming her that he was under a necessity OF
going instantly to Holland, and should probably
be absent three weeks or a month.
He remained absent, however. longer than the
specified time, and for seventeen years and up
wards she never heard Of or from him. About
three years after his disappearance, Mrs. Howe
was obliged to apply for an Act OF Parllment to
procure proper settlement of her husbands es-
tate. and proper provision for herself and two
children out Of it, US it was uncertain whether he
was alive or dead. This she did, US when lie
first went away she and her friends feared that
he might have contracted some large debt un-
known to her, the difficulties of which he could
not easily surmount. In fact, for some time
after his departure, she had lived in constant
dread of demands from creditors, of seizures
executions, sc. Nothing of this kind, however,
took place anu on investigation, It was fOun0
that he not only had left his estate free and un-
encumbered, but had punctually paid the bills
of every tradesman with whom he had had AM
dealings, to the utmost exactness, receipts ant
proper vouchers for all bills being found, ar
ranged in the most methodical manner, in hi
bureau.
Shortly after this, the children both died
when the supposed widow, in order to lesser
her housekeeping expenses, discharged tn
greater part of her servants, left Jermyn street
and took small house in Brewer street, Colder
square, This was about ten years after he
husbands departure; when, one evening, afte
she had resided in Brewer street about sevel
years, whilst she was sitting at supper with
party of friends, amongst whom were her bro
ther-in-law, DR.. Rose, and her sister, his wife,
note without any signature was delivered
her, in which the writer requested the favor 9

VERY FRENcHY.-Two men, named Sariol and
Turban, have just been brought before the
Tribunal of Correctional Police, for being drunk
and disorderly at Saint Denis. These two in
dividuals had formed a partnership for the sale
of four frances worth of brandy at the fair at
that place, and set out for the scene of opera
tions with their stock in trade, which they had
agreed to sell for four sous the small glass. On
arriving at Chapelle, Sariol expressed desire 10
taste the liquid, but the objection was immedi-
ately made that he was only part proprietor, and
that one-half of what he might take belonged to
the other. "Oh perfectly comprehend that"
said Sariol, "and in consequence propose to
pay you two sous for the glass" As Turban
made no further objection, Sariol very gravely
handed him over the two sous and drank the
liquid.
Shortly afterward, Turban, who had looked
on the enjoyment of his companion with o Jealous
eye, determined in his turn to regale himself
accordingly handed over with perfect gravity the
two sous to his companion, also swallowing q
glass of tie brandy. But this sac saw process
was repeated so often that when the two partners
arrived at Saint Denis their brandy was found to
have been dwindled away to almost nothing.
they themselves were thTee-fourths intoxicated,
aud the whole receipts of the day were only two
sous Turban could not by any possibility un-
derstand how four francs worth of brandy should
have been regularly Sold glass by glass, and
that only two sous should be forthcoming to
represent both the original capital and the profit.
He therefore expressed the opinion that there
must be something wrong somewhere, and termi-
mated By expressing doubts as to his associates
honesty. The impeachment led to a regular
fight, followed by the interference Of the police,
and the arrest of the two partners. The tribu-
nal condemned each TO weeks imprisonment
From the Paris Gdlignani.

MoRMoEIsM AND Double LovE.-Last week
company of Mormon emigrants arrived at
Boston, on their way to Utah. Among them was
noticed young man, more distinguished in his
appearance than the remainder of the company,
and near him two females, deeply veiled, whose
delicate grace and reserve indicated them as be-
longing to a superior social position. Their his.
tory merits relation. Ludwig FerOe was the son
Of a rich landowner in Sweden, and the two
young ladies' were two orphans, who were
brought up with him in his fathers family, until
he left for college, at Dontheim, where he re-
mained several years, and afterwards travelling
over the greater part Of Europe, his former
playmates were forgotten. Returning at last to
his home, he was astonished to find two beauti-
full women. dazzling as the Undine Of the poet.
He was struck to the heart as with an arrow
Love conquered him at first sight. He was In
love, but with which one Both were splendidly
beautiful. He was enamored of both. He was
in whirlpool of doubt, indecision and per-
plexity. 1t was necessary to come to some
decision, and he naturally came to the most droll
one. In an excess of desperate frankness he
related to the two young girls the state of his
feelings. They laughed at him at first, then
they reflected, and the result of their reflections
was that they both loved Ludwig, and was as
embarrassed as he. About this time one of the
Mormon apostles passed through the place sought
to make proselytes to the doctrine OF the Saints,
and converted the young man and the two girls.
Thus Ludwig Feroe, and his companions, Nina
aud Evohe, form part of the Mormon emigrants
on their way to Salt Lake, where their romance
of love aud Implications of wives will be speedily
divested of all charm by the low associations
around them
