| Some year or two back, an American wo- man came to Mobile with some circus riders, bringing with her Q beautiful girl, not more than 12 years of age, and now only l5; the girl was said to be her daughter. By some means, the mother became indebted to a wealthy Italian named Andreas /; she was ! unable to pay him he threatened to throw 1 her into prison, but at last proposed that she should give him this young girl for q wife, and so cancel the debt. She consented; and l Andreas, who was over 50 years of age, was married to the girl. Soon the young girl en- couragcd the attentions of young man from l New York, who boarded in the same house. Andreas at last beat her and the mother, and l the latter threatened revenge. The young 1 man (said to be her paramour) was taken l sick, and it was darkly hinted that Andreas, or some friend of his, had administered to him some drugs, food, or medicine that did not agree with him. There was also in the house another young girl, with whom it was said Andreas had illicit intercourse. Be that as it may, it appears that either Andreas' young wife, or her mother, or this other young girl by their directions, prepared some gruel for Andreas, of which he partook. The New-Yor young man also partook of it un- known to Andreas' wife or mother. The re- suit was, that both Andreas and the young man died soon afterwards in the most cxcru- ciating agonies, and the other young girl was taken sick, (being poisoned) but is expected to recover. The gruel was anylsed, and found to contain arsenic. Andreas' wife con- fessed that she bought the arsenic to kill rats, and supposes it was put into the gruel by ac- cident instead of salt. Although so young, and some think innocent, she has been sent to prison to take her trial for the murder.

Dr. D. public ly denied it.; but Mr. Blevins sought him, and the instant he saw him, fired two pistols at and wounded him.

 Eater from England-Thc ship Pantheon, | Capt. Thomas, arrived at Boston on Sunday, from Liverpool, whence she sailed May 2eth. By this arrival we have received London pa- pers to June 26th and Liverpool to the 27th, two days later than our last former advices. The papers contain scarcely any thing of in- terest to an American reader. They arc principally taken up in describing the cele-

 brations, fetes and illuminations of the 24th, on the occasion of the Princess Victoria's

 birth day, and her reaching her 18th year, which IS her majority. As she is heiress presumptive to the British throne and realm, the ministers are making arrangements for allowing her an outfit and establishment suit ed to her exalted destination, now that she has become of age. It Is supposed that the subject will immediately be brought before Parliament.-N. Y. ETp.
