The London GqzeHe of the 18th
inst. says that several papers refer to
a notable accession to the Roman

place. The AdreFtiser WithhOlds the
names, but says that the wife Of a dis

woman must be actually nude when
she left her residence for that of her
intended husband, in order TO relieve
him from her debts; and a case ofthis
kind occurred. 4 woman left her
house from a bedroom window in a
state of nudity, and put on her clothes
as she stood upon the top of the ladder

The Augusta (Ga.) Chronicle and
Of Sunday, says: We regret
to learn, by letter from a gentleman
Of Mr.. Stephens household, that the
health of the great statesman, for the
last four or five days, has been quite
bad. a severe bilious disorder has
