Irtlft. ly. Itil one. In order lo set aside all obstacles, our two young people had recourse to an elopement and put in requisition the famous blacksmith, who unites enamored English couples, at a mo ment's warning, and without asking the con sent of their relatives. The nuptial benedic tion had but just been pronounced, when the unsuccessful rival appeared. He had followed the fugitives with a'l the speed hia gold could obtain from llio postillions; but the lugitives had a wholo night' start of him ; and the rival wag only able to arrive just soon enough to be two hours Ion lute. You have had a UFclesa chase my dearsir,' said the bridegroom, happy ami proud ol his etic cess, 'for wo are already married.' 'It may be soreplied the other; btil I have, at least, romo in lime to be revenged.' In accepting this challenge, the bridegroom requested that the meeting might be postponed to the next day, but his jealous rival would not consent to afford him this gratification. They must repair at once to the spot, with the first se conds they could meet ; the duel was fought wiili pistols, nnd the bridegroom, struck liy a ball in tho forehead, fell, never to rise again. S.i Mrs. became a widow two hours af ter the culehral inn of her first marriage. This adventure made so much talk, and led To so many sen nd.i Ions rumors, that a second rtinr r'ngentily could alluy them. Decides, the young widow hnd known so little of married lif", that he very naturally desired to continue the chap tcr from the interesting print where il was so unfortunately broken oil. This time, it: order to efface as much as possible the consequences ot her first fault, for which she had been so se verely punit-'hod, Mrs. submitted to the wishes of her parents in tho choice of her se cond liu.hnd. They uivle for her a reason able clinic, selrcting a man of mature years, and nlTering .'very p isib!e gunranlee. J le was an old retired tnerclinnt, possessing a l.irge fur- He hud no pr.ssion for cards, but nn the other linnd, he gnve himself up with unrestrained ardor to horse racing, and in his rxercise he made life of his purse nnd his own person, staking large sums in he's, and risking himself with his horses in disputing for the prize in stecplo chases. Fortune had not thus fur a fleeted his finances (lis profits and losses were nearly balanced; but he was less successful ns a rider than be was in his bets. His own person was less fa vored than his purse. When he rode himself he was more often thrown olT his hore than able to alight of his own accord. So far from being discouraged, these falls rather stimulated to endeavor to do bettor ; and this noble per severance had already cost him several to.eih as well as nn arm and some ribs broken. His family nnd friends hoped that marringe would make him a little more prudent ; and for a short time ho abstained from appearing on the turf, in order to devote himself entirely to bis wife; but at soon as he became used to this peaceful felicity, his former passion returned, and he thought lie could unite the pleasures of hymen and the roce course. Several of tho best riders in England had engaged in a contest, at the Newmarket races ; he joined them, mounted his fleetest horse, darted forward in the race, and fell, this time disastrously, that he was left dead on the spot. The unfortunate sportsman had appointed his wife sole heiress of all his property, but his will contained several errors of form, which made it of doubtful efiect. One of the relatives of the deceased disputed the will ; the case was brought before the tribunals, and being ably managed against her was threatening Mrs. with new ruin, wl.cn her adversary himself pro posed to stop their suit, and to unite their in terests by marriage. This was the most pru dent course , the lovely widow adop'ed it and changing her name for the filth time, became the wife of a rich landed proprietor, who passed for the most intrepid fox hunter in Northumber land. The marriage had hardly been conclud ed six months before the fifth husband, while hunting, was so imprudent as lo leap a ditch with a loaded musket in his hand, which was accidentally discharged, when he received the whole contents in his breast. His death was instantaneous. cmicIi are the cvctits which constitute the conjugal rareer of Mrs. , and it is in con sequence of tlrese catastrophes that idie is a wi llow tortlie fifth lime, in the very morning of her life. Uut that whrcli must scrm the rtran gert ofall is, thai after thus having gained, or rather Inst, in the lottery of v Mowhoud, she still persists in pursuirg a chance which has sn far been obslinntely noairtist her Tho persever- ance of this widow may be explained nn sever ' ul ground.

I tu mar Ihe hnppiness of the union ; but soon, I even while devoted to his wife, the husband : liegan to display vices beneath his graceful ex i terior. (laming was his ruling passion, and he gave himself up to it with so much ardor that I in short time he had dissipated the rest of hisown patrimony and the whole fortune of his wife. Then, no longer able to endure hi shame and remorse, he shot himself. Three successive calamities would have de prived Mrs. of the courage to make a new conjugal trial, had not her pecuniary matters made il necessary to marry again. Completely ruhted by her third husband, and with no in heritance to look forward to, marriage was the only resource by which she could escape the embarrassment and misery of want There was no time to be lost! she must make the beat ol her advantages, and turn tot good ac count her youth and her attractions, to accuro the best chance thai offered. Our widow, there fore, bestirred hsrstlf; and UaveOp aa il to co.no to Paris. This is certainly complimentary to the I'ari&ians.aud she will not be disupp mitej. As wo have said, Mrs. is not yet 'Si year old, is exquisitely hjnJsoiiie, and her Inst hus band left her, by a will, in which no fliw can be detected, an income ol XI '0,1)00 a year. This is more than enough tu shut one's eyes to the chimurical dangers of Ihe past.

An ex change thinka this an error, and observes that no woman objects to Hy-mtn. Kava Rcnlla Cast. The first practical efii.-ct of thn new TorifT hs.i been to revive greatly the Nova Scotia con I trnde. We notice by the shipping lists yester lay, that an u.iaially large fleet is alrendy at I'ictott, ard an unprecedented number of vessels have already cleared for that part. It is stated that some or nil the factories in this tow n are contemplating the ue of Nova Scotn coal, which it is beleivcd will be considerably cheaper than anthracite. Under Iho tariff of the im port of foreign coal tins fallen off, until but ve ry little except that required lor the Britit-h steamships and for blacksmith has been impor ted, and anthracite has almost entirely super seded foreign coal. Under the con. promise act in the import of foreign bituminous coal, principally from Nova Scotia, was 131.551 tons while the consumption of anthracite coal was only 817,059 tons, being a ful'ing ofl in two years of nearly 60,000 tons. In 11.", the im port of foreign was only 85,7 'E'O tons, (notwith standing the increase in the number of IWitisli steamships,) while the consumption 'of anthra cite rose to 2,0-'l,G74 tons. Tho Pictou mines belong to the estate of the Duke ol York, the uncle of Queen Victoria, but arc worked by several jewelers of London, they having obtained a long leoso of them, in liquidation of Ihe enormous debts which the Duke's profligacy anil extravagance hnd run up with them. The con I costs st Pictou, from $2 75 to 83 per chaldron of A'2 bnshels, the duty after December will be 90 cents a cinldron, and the rate of freight is now $r2,.r)0 per chal dron, so thai a chaldron of-1'2 bushels of this coal may now be landed hem at about Ihe same price which a ton of IS bushel: of anthracite costs; so that if a bushel of PiCtno coal gives out the same amount of heat as a bushel of an thtacite, the Pictou will be .r0 per cent. Ihe cheapest. Has any one ever made a compari son which can be depended upon, of the amount of heat which the combustion of the same quan tities of Pictou and anthracite coal will produce? The decisions made by the scientific men to whom our government entrusted a similar trial in regard to the various kinds of anthracite, are altogether fallacious, and are contradicted by the experience of every practical engineer in the country. KrwLuryport Ihruld. Hope for Anthracite Coal. The 'Journal of Commerce' publishes the fol lowing article, which we really hope may turn out to be true : "A gentleman who read in our paper tho ar ticle from the Newbury port I L-rald respecting Nova Scotia ronl, has kindly handed us the on nexed memorandum ol an experiment which throws much light upon the subject, and proves that the anthracites ol Pennsylvania are not Mely to be so promptly superseded by the bitu mens ol Nova Scot a, as fovou people have ins gined. The.experhuent wus nisde in 1IM, by the great sugar refining cnmviny of Uoston, lot the purpr.setif direrlmg iheim.vn interests. It was mado under th superintendence r.f the President l the company, and Ihe burning of each Vind nV coal was toittinued for nbout a week. The following was the restiU.

The superiority of the iinthracites results not entirely, if chiefly, from the superior quantity of heat vhich they produce; hut in part al least from the superior facility with which the heat of the anthracites i brought into action. The vast quantity of smoke and gas which i emitted Iron. bitiimiui'Us con I carries off with it a great quantity of heat, and requires the fire lobe pla ced at a greater distance from the Unler, by which u larger loluinn of air is brought between the fire and thn boiler; and as air is a non-con-doctor, this circumstance embarrasses the heat which remnins. These faelsare full of importance. They sc count in some incaure li.r the superior speed ol American steamers over those of other nation. We are told thai this thing has had one most remarkable test. A steamboat Was built in Ca nada, after the model of our South America. Tho builder were disappointed to find, after all, that she would run but two-thirds aa fast as the South America. Nothing would cure the disparity, until Ickawanna coal waa taken to her help, and this brought up her speed lolhe desired point of equality with the pattern lioat. If the same change should bo i fleeted by the introduction of Ihe same fuel to Atlantic naviga tion, another new era would astonish the world." rmcEg op ADvunTisixca. t square I insertion, . fO 60 I do do . . .0 7.r I do 3 di . . . 1 00 Every subsequent Insertion, .

A(!olphus Muir, late of Dmwiddie co. he has aln been strongly fnspected of hnving caused the death of several other persons in tho same county oml among the number, his own son, and the mother, or mother-in-law of Mrs. Epprs, A few years since, on elderly lady then rsn inmate, if we understand correctly, of camp, which is situated on a high blufl of land, Eppps' hnuc was taken suddenly ill and died. At the death of this lady, it seems, a large es tate was likely to fall into the hnnds of EppoB, ns gnnr-linn of his children, who were to be the heirs nf their decensed relative. During the brief sickness of the lndy, Eppes was known to have administered a dose of medicine, or some thing which he professed would give relief to her. The dose bad been given but a short time. when she continued to prow worse, and coon expired. Nothing was thought at the tinrp.nl the sudden death of -the lady her friends not dreaming for a moment that she had been un fairly dealt with. It is only since the develop ments in tho lluir case, that suspicion has been excited towards Eppm, in regard to her ihesth. It has been only a few years, too, 6ince a ron of E's was killed, ss reported at the tirrre of his death, by Ihe accidental discharge of his gun while he and his father, W. Dandrige Eppos, were out hunting. Tim account of young Ep pes' death, from the lips of his own father, being too plnuihle nt Ihe time, no one of course sus- peeled foul play ; but now it seems, that Ihe son was heir to romp property which his father wished to pet into his own possession. This circumstance, Inken in ennnection with others, leaves very little doubt that Eppes is the mur derer of his own son. Nor does this end the chapter of his crimes! He is now suspected of having murdered a Drover who has neither been seen nor heard from, since he was known to have pone to Eppes house, to Collect of E. money for a number of hogs sold. This has been several years ago, and as a pretty good e from which we can fee thousands of tents, and hear thn drums beating the reville. Yesterday, Lafayette Hands, Andrew Met- teer, and some of our boys went over to Barita, and returned in rather hifjh spirits. As they were returning hofns some one gave Andrew Metteera Catfish, which Col. Mitchell, ol Ohio, who is Colonel of the whole briirnde, claimed as hisown, and ordered three of his men to take it. from him. On the men seising him, in compli ance with the orders of their commander, Met- feer drew a dagger and stabbed two of them. Col. Mitchell then rushed on Mctteer with drawn swotd and inflicted several severe pa sires on his head, from the effects of which ho fell bb if dead. Lafayette Hands then seized Ihe Col., wrested his sword from him, and cha sed him with it for some distance around Ilia camp, until another sword was handed him, when they had a regular sw-ord fight, lasting Fome minutes, until the Colonel's sword broke. and he again ran, finally escaping to hisown qmriers. He then gave immediate orders for his men to turn out, armed with ball cartridge when our Captain gave similar orders and mar ched the' Chesapeaks down to meet them. When we arrived. Captain Stuart, who, in th absence ol Colonel Watson, is commanding offi cer, ordered out the battalion, and we were alL full of fight, and I verily believe that our GOll Baltiinoreans could have whippet the wholo 2500 Ohioatts. Dan Wells had taken dead aint at the Colonel, and would have blown him sky high, had it not have been for Charles Ehrman, who stnrck his musket. The Colonel then clai videnceof suspicion being properly attached to mct the commaT)j f w,0le brigade, and Eppes for disposing ol the Kentucky drover, the skeleton of a grown person was lately, with in a week or so, we believe, found ti an ice bouse on the farm upon which Eppes formerly resided.
