I think proper, in juftice to my- (clf, to (late to the public the following fa As ; We were .nianr.ird ahuiii 3\\V€f$8»r* ago, iome time after the death of her for¬ mer husband, and by indullry and pc-rfeve- ranee 1 was enabled considerably to im¬ prove and add to the property we poflciTed at thr time of our marriage. About two years and a half ago I fent for my daugh¬ ter fro.71 the States, (the only child by my firll wife) and from the firft day of her ar¬ rival (lie ufed her in a (hau eful and unnat¬ ural manner.

About two months ago the wife of Jeremiah Manter, whofe hufband was gone from her, and left her with two children without a provisiou, applied to my daughter to induce me to afford her an as¬ ylum in my houfe for the winter, ©r until her hufband fhould return, which I con- fented to, my daughter not being able, from ill health, to manage the houfe af¬ fairs. From this circumltance my wife has thought fit to publifh her ridiculous (tate- meut, and to endeavour to injure me in the opinion of my friends, and traduce the cha- ra&er of an honed woman.

His Excellency the Lieutenant Governor has been pleased in appoint Josias Riohey a Sur¬ veyor of Lands in the Province of Upper Cana* da. For sale at this Office, the Montreal Almanac for 1820. The following ludicrous affair took place yesterday at the police other, Bow* street:—in the mid^t of the ordiniry business of the day, a most superb ) ouug Irishman, calling himself Mr. John Sul¬ livan, *obcited the private tar ol the ma¬ gistrate on business of importance. He was attired in the very pink oit -e m* de; and, like Saul, the son of Kis.li l% Iron* his shoulders and upwards, he was high¬ er than all the people." The magistrate (K. biruie, K»q.) impressed b) bis ^gal¬ lant bearing," very politely vtithdrcvr with him into the library, and, th. ugh their conference was a short one, the re¬ sult was the immediate issue of v. an nuts lor the apprehension of two ladies, the one a resptrtflbie housekeeper named Trim, residing in the neighbourhood of Piccadilly, & the oilier a Miss Mary Sul¬ livan, a lodger in the hou-e of the lor- mer. Limbrick was charged with theex- ecution of these warrants, and he shortly returned to the othcewith his fair prison¬ ers in a hackney coach. They were in¬ stantly placed before the magistrate, and Mr. John Sullivan u being tmt duly sworn,'* deposed, with au air of vast im¬ portance, to the following effect: he had formerl) been thrown, by fortuitous cir¬ cumstances, as an inmate in the -.ime family with the prisoner, Mi&S Sullivan ; and he had beeu unfortunate enoo^n to torm a connection ot a tender nature with her, the issue of which tenderness had beeu two fine children. These children he had amply provided for, and in like manner he had provided lor Aliss Si.lli- van also, till she became so excessively importunate in her claims, and so im¬ mensely irregular in her habits, that he was compelled, tw though that her jesMes were his dearheartstriugs, to whistle her off, and let her down the wind, to prey on fortune." lie then established him- self in separate apartments, but he was scarcely settled before Miss Sullivan for* cibly joined him. lie removed Irom lodging to lodging, but still the lady fol¬ low ed him like his shadow. AH his en¬ deavors toshake her off were unavailing, and she took frequent opportunities of robbing him. At length, 011 Thursday last, wearied and disgusted, he procured a suite of apartments in a distant part of the town ; and removed to them so pri¬ vately that he thought h mself perfectly secure; but (alas ! the vanity nf human foresight!) the very lirst time he ventu¬ red from home the indefatigable IVliss Sullivan procured admission to Ins rooms and took his entire wardrobe by storm ! carrying off without remorse the whole of his14 personals," viz. 6 wais coats, 3pair of pantaloons, 2 shiit», owe pair of -4ay<M (a little the worse for wear,) one pair of ooots, with cravats, false collars, and wristbands almost udinjinitum. She was accompanied in this depredation by -ome person at present unknown to him ; but the whole ol the property, he understood was carried to the house of the other pri¬ soner, Mrs. Trim, and he thought she might be indicted as the receiver. >\ Coup de main like this, he observed, was" too bad, and being determined to stand it no longer, he now confidently appeal¬ ed to the laws of his country, trusting that they would interpose their authori¬ ty to enforce the restoration of his pro¬ perty, and rid him effectually of that in¬ tolerable uuisance, Miss Mary Sullivan. Miss Mary Sullivan, a broad-set, stur¬ dy, middle Aged ttorrian, of ordinary fea- tures, vulgar dress, and most intense Irish brogue, listened to this narration with excessive impatience, responding to al¬ most every sentence.—" Och ! Jerry, my dear, why will you say that! Come out of the lying, Jerry dear, and give us the truth of it 1" whilst the venerable Mrs. Trim, a very respectable looking old gentlewoman, lifted her hands and eyes in silent vexatiou, and the magis¬ trate growing more and more impatient every moment, repeate- |y eyed the lofty narrator with astonishment, mingled, as we thought, with a littledisgust. Miss Mary Sullivan, however, had now an opportunity of replying to her false¬ hearted paramour, and she burst forth in a strain of sarcasm, delivered with such a precision and aplomb, that it appeared absolutely to sultify him. She told, in a voice which seemed to shake the very walls of the room, how he had practised on her tender innocence ; how she had, nevertheless, been a true and faithful wife to him for upwards of six years, and had beeu the mother of histwo children: how one of those children had been charita¬ bly maintained by a relative of her own, and the other consigned to the parish workhorse ; how she had supported him by her manes and her labour, when he had not a thirteen to bless himself with ; how she had repeatedly clothed him from top to toe ; how he had been arreted by Mrs.Tiimfor £15 " for rent of the place*"—lay nine months in the Mar* ?halsea prison,—and was at length libe¬ rated by that lady, 00 his humble peti¬ tion to her ; how, on regaining his liber¬ ty, he was ten times more idle than be¬ fore, and deserting her, his poor coun* fry woman and relative, who had devoted her whole life to him, he had become fancy gentleman to one half the English I
