IE WIDOW OF FIVE HUSBANDS.
unstated for the Boston Mas from the Paris
"Siecle" l of lite 26th ull.
There has recently arrived in Paii s , a young
glish lady, already the widow of her fifth
sdand. This remarkable chance, th s un
nmon series of widowhoods, is the more
raordinary, that the lady in question has
. yet reached her S2sth year. The history
her several marriages is so strange, both as
vholeand in its particulars, that we should
rdly dare to relate them, if the world had
t already given credit to them. The saloons
the Englhh, almost the only ones lo re
tin open in this season of genera! desertion,
ipute for the honor of this young widow,
d from them we derive the following nar
ive of her conjugal adventures.
Mrs. *** was not quite 16 years old when
s contracted her first marriage at Gretna
een. This matrimonial locality is sufficient
idence that it was a purely sentimental u
>n. Two rivals disputed lor her young af
ilions; one was favored by her family, the
ler by herself. The latter, of course, was
s successful one. In order to set aside all
stacles, our two young pe. pie had recourse
an elopement; and put in requisition the
nous blacksmith, who unites enamored Eng
i couples, at a moment's warning and with
t asking the consent of their relatives. The
ptial benediction had just been pronounced,
len the unsuccessful rival appeared. He
,d followed the fugitives with all the speed
3 gold could obtain from the postillion; but
e fugitives had a whole night's start of him;
d the rival was only able to arrive just soon
ougb to be two hours 100 late.
"You have had a useless chase, my dear
said the bridegroom, happy and proud of
s success, "for we are already mariied "
i"lt may be so," replied the other, "but I
live, at least, come in time lo be revenged!"
'ln accepting this challenge, the bridegroom
iquested that the meeting might be postponed
the next day,but his jealous rival would not
insent to afford him this gratification. They
'ust repair at once to the spot, with the first
Jconds they could meet; the duel was fought
ith pistols, and the bridegroom, struck by a
all in the forehead, fell, never to rise again.
So Mrs. *** became a widow two hours af
[r the celebration of her first marriage. This
'iventure made so much talk, and led to so
'tany scandalous rumors, that a second mir-
Jage only could allay them. Besides, the
jung widow had known so little of the mar
ed life, that she very naturally desired to
intinue the chapter from the interisting point
here it was so unfortunately broken off.—
his time, in order to efface as much as pos
ted the consequences of her first fault, for
Jhich she had been so severely punished, Mrs.
** submitted to the wishes of her parents in
je choice of her second husband. They made
or her a reasonable choice,selecting a man of
Kature years, and offering every possible guar
antee. He was an old retired merchant, pos
fessing a large fortune, honorably acquired.
Ifhis was not probably the happiness dreamed
If by soul so poetical and so tnamored; but
then Mrs. *** adapted herself to her new sit
uation, and had not yet encountered those hol
fow decepti ns, and bitter deceits oflife.be
[ore her husband found it necessary to attend
f ome business which required his presence on
the continent. He left alone, and in crossing
the channel, the steamboat was overtaken by
5 tempest and dashed upon the rocks of ihe
ooast. This shipwreck made Mrs. *** a wi-
Uow for the second time.
J' In her misfortunes she naturally looked a
giout for consolation fiom otheis, which is any
nhing but difficult to procure for a young w:d-
Aw, vho united to her own personal charms
Bhose of a veiy considerable fortune. Among
bose attentive to her she favored a young and
bowy youth, full of grace and wit, whoseem-
Bd to her to unite all that would best console
ler for the loss of her husband As soon as
he necessary delays were over the reign of
he third husband commenced,under the most
favorable auspices.
l Nothing at the commencement seemed like
tiy lo mar the happiness of this union; but
d\oon, even while devoted to his wife, the hus
lorand began to display vices beneath his grace
ful exterior. Gaming was his ruling passion,
he gave himself up to it with so much ar
vior that in a shoit time he had dissipated the
4 irest of bis own patrimony and the while for
'ftuneofhis wife. Then, no longer able to
,>enduie bis shame and remorse, ho shot him-
Jself.
* Three successive calamities would have
'"deprived Mrs. *** of the courage to make a
£new conjugal trial, had not her pecuniary
made it necessary to marry ugain.—
"'Completely ruined by her third husband, and
no inheritance to look forward to, mar
uiriage was the only resource by which she
: could escape the embarrassment and misery
of want. Theie was no time to be lost; she
must make the best of her advantages, and
turn lo a good account her youth and her at
tractions, to secure the best chance that of
fered,' Our widow, therefore, bestirred her
self; and heaven, as if to rtcompense her for
her trial*, sent her a husband of the first class,
—a young, rich and handsome baronet, and
"1 quite famous on the turf. He had DO passion
Ji for cards, but on the other hand, he gave hira-
J self up with unrestrained a-dor to horse rac
-11 ing, and in this <Xircise ho made use of his
•' purse aDd of his own person, staking large sum
'- 1 in bets, and risking himself with his horses in
i disputing for the prize in steeple chases. For
l tune had not thus far affected his finances His
. profits and losses were nearly bulanc> d; but he
was less succe.-sful as a rider than he was in
1 his bets. His own person was leas favored
- than his purse. When he lode himself he was

more often thrown ofT his horse than able to
alight of his own accoid. So far from being
discouraged, these falls rather stimulated him
to do beiter; and this nolde perseverance bad
already coat him several teeth, as well as an
arm and some ribs broken. His family and
friends hoped that marriage would make him
a little more prudent; and for a short time he
abstained from appearing on the turf, in or
der to devote himself ent rely to his wife; hut
as soon as he became used to this peaceful
felicity his foimer passion returned, and he
thought he could unite the phasures of hymen
and the race coutee. Several of the best ri
ders in England had engaged in a contest, at
the Newmarket races; he joined them, moun
ted bis fleetest horse, daritd forward in the
race, and fell, this time, so disastrously that
he was left dead on the spot.
The unfortunate sportsman had appointed
his wife sole heiress of all his property, hut
his will contained several errorsof form, which
made it of doubtful tffect. One of the rela
tives of the deceased dispuied the will,the case
was brought before the tribunals and being a
bly managed against her, was threatening Mrs.
* * * with new ruin, when her adveisary him
self proposed to stop their suit, and to unite
their interests by marriage. This was the
most prudent course; the lovely widow adop
ted it, and changing her name for the fifih time
became the wife of a rich landed proprietor,
who passed for the most intrepid fox hunter
in Northumberland. The marriage had hard
ly bren concluded six months, befoie ihe fifth
Husband while hunting, was so imprudent as
:o leapa ditch with a loaded musket in his hand,
which was accidentally discbaiged, when he
■eceived the whole contents in his breast. His
Jeath was instantaneous.
Such are the events which constitute the
jonjugal career of Mrs. * * *, and it is in con
sequence of these catastrophes that she is a
widow for the fifth t.rne, in the very morning
of her life. Bui that which mu-t seem the
strangest of all is, that after thus having gai
ned, or rather lost, in the lottery of widowhood
she still persists in puraueing a chance which
nas so fur-been obstinately against her. The
perseverance of this widow may be explained
on several grounds. In the first place, having
in each instance been married so short a time,
she has had knowledge of only the bright
Jays of marriage, the honey moon, and has
; een only the bright side; she has never seen
the lever.-e ofthalimedal; she has never ex
perienced the disappointment of destroyed
illusions; her husbands have never caused her
any suffering, except by their death; even the
gamester himself was so amiable and so kind,
that, in spite of all his faults, his 10.-s was
bitterly regretted. And then, as people
have become confused by the many difl'er
ent names which Mrs. * * ♦ has borne, they
have nicknamed her Mrs. Bluebeard, in
cruel reference to her conjugal misfortunes. It
is very natural she should wish to rid herself
of this surname, by triumphing over fate!
But her five widowhoods have somewhat
cooled the ardor of tier English admirers.
—Even the boldest experience a sort of super
stitious terror; they fear lest they may meet
the fate of their predecessors. Mrs *** has
realized bow much courage is necessary for
any one to venture to marry she has
therefore come to Paris. Thmp certainly
complimentary to the Parisians, and she will
not be disappointed. As we have said, Mrs.
* * * is not yet 25 years old, is exquisitely
handsome, and her last husband left her, by a
will, in which no flaw can be detected, an in
come of <£120,000 a year. This is certainly
more than enough to shut one's eyes to the
chimerical dangers of the past. Mrs. * * *
would easily find in Paris a man who, in spite
of the apparent fatality, would esteem him
self very happy to become her sixth husband.

.MARRIAGE PROCESSION IN CAIRO.
We were attracted by the sound of loud voi
ces in the street, accompanied by the roll of
masic; these were the harbingers of one act in
the drama of a marriage procession, Three
brides elect were being conducted in great
state to the bath, a ceiemony always observed
on the eve of a wedding. The ladies seemed
very young, especially the one who walked
first; she could not have been more than nine
or ten years old. Nothing can be more whim
sical than the 100, too, cry of the women, in con
junction with the monotonous sound of the de
rubooka, (derabukkali ) all ment to be expressive
of joy. In some instances the bride on her re
turn from the bath is profusely sprinkled with
rose water; and incense, and various perfumes,
burning in silver censors, are carried before
her. About nine p. m. we again heard the
music and saw the youngest of the little brides
conducted to the bridegroom's house, where
she was to pass through the marriage ceremo
nial. Soon afterward the other two passed,
making altogether a very splendid pageant.
All the brides were Christians, which was
indicated by the absence of the gay party col
ored canopy that is invariably carried over the
heads of the Mahometans. It is the custom of
the Orientals here, whether Christian or Mus
sulman, to parade the principal street with a
slow pace, in leading "the destined one," amid
gieat rejoicings, to the house of her future
husband. The face of the bride so closely veil
ed; a rich scarlet shawl is thiown over her
head, reaching to her feet, and quite conceal
ing her figure. To make her look tall, some
thing high is usually affixed to the head, which
deformity the Indian shawl covers; and then
surmounting the whole is a head dress decorat
ed with gold and jewels, a sort of tiara, or
crown; this is often but a loan. In addition to
these externals she is generally very richly at
tired. A crowd of female relatives aud friends
usually accompany the bride; one attendant
fans her, least she should faint in her smother
ed condition; another carries a chair that she
may rest when fatigued; and others g[ tinkle
her with costly perfumes, or strew the choicest
flowers in her path.
We inet a bridal procession to-day, accom
panied by the train of a boy for circumcision;
both aie frequently united, in order to enhance
the pomp and effect of the display. Judging
from her statue, the bride must have been a
child; but she was quite concealed by the am
plitude of her rich and grotesque costume.—
The boy's division was by far the most splendid
spectacle. He rode a stately horse, well capa
risoned; followed by a fine camel decorated
with velvet trappings, feathers and bells. A
gothic-looking chair was borne in front, elabo
rately wrought with pearl, and a motley crowd,

always picturesque here, swelling his train into
importance.
A marriage procession has just passed our
house; the object, as usual, seemingly a child.
She was richly appareled, with a tiara on her
head, and her whole person enveloped in a su
perb scarlet shawl; the figure looking more like
a moving mummy than a youthful being. Her
friends conducted her to the bridegroom under
a canopy of red and yellow silk, with the
sound of music, and the scattering of fragrance;
everything to render the ceremonial imposing,
according to the taste of the Orient. Another
bridal party preceded by an infant prepared for
the rite of circumcision; he wore a costly dress,
with a crown of gold, and the band of his tur
ban set with jewels. The child was carried by
his mother, who was fancifully attired in scarlet
robes, and a deep, flowing, orange-colored veil.
THE ATTACK ON ALVARADO— Dissalisfaction
in the Navy. A letter in the New York Her
ald, from one of the officers in the squadron off"
Vera Cruz, says:
The manner of attack on Alvarado by Corn.
Connor has created a very general dissalisfac-1
tion among the fleet. The Somers and Fill- j
mouth were first sent down to select and mark J
| possessions. On the next day tho whole fleet |
j followed, accompanied by the English squadron
j who were desirous of seeing tho fight. On tho |
j Eastward of the entrance an old fort of six i
I guns, and on tho Western some three hundred j
j citizens and soldiers, were all the opposition to j
I a landing. Nothing seemed to be easier than J
j the capture of the place. The Vera Cruz pa- j
i pers had given it up, and the enemy them-j
[ selves stated that they were destitute of all de- j
I fence; but our squadron fired a few shots,arid
the next morning sailed away, like
"The King of France, will: twenty thousand men, j
Marched up a hill, arid then— marched down again-" !
This most lame and impotent conclusion spread |
dissatisfaction throughout the officers and men j
of the squadron. On board the flag ship there i
was almost a mutiny: the men when tacking!
ship cried out at the appearance of the Comrno-1
dore, "To Alvarado, Alvarado." Of course |
the Commodore is very unpopular with all, and j
the army officers make bitter complaints also j
against his conduct.

nel, which they were compelled to do by stress
Jof water. Capts. Ditnon and Pray would re
j main to bear from the Chilian government. —
j The ciew of both vessels wore turned ashore.
ODD FELLOWS IN ENGLAND. The Liverpool
: Times, in an article on Odd Fellowship, says:
"It appears that this society now musters
near 11,000 membcis in this district, and above
1000 in Birkenhead; and that the total number
j in the Etnpiie is 300,000. Amongst those are
j not fewer than 100 members of Parliament, be
sides magistrates and clergymen in abundance.
Lord Brougham, Lord Sandon, Mr. Justice
Clieswell, and Sir Joshua Walmsley, are mem
bers in our district."
GAS PRODUCED FROM WATER. MI. Jobburd,
a Fiench chemist, has diccovered a method of
producing gas, for illumination, from water. —
He charges the hydrogen from aqueous vapor
strongly with carbonaceous vapor from oil or
gas tar, or any other oil, and produces a bril
liant white light.
WHOLESALE ROBBERY OF EMIGRANTS. A
company of twelve German emigrants who ar
rived at Albany from New York, were robbed
on Sunday at the "Tremont House," of twen
ty-two hundred dollars, being their entire for
tune, which they had in five franc pieces, unit
ed in a kind of common stock. It is supposed
that the money was taken by a gang of swind
lers who prowl around to emigrants.
ANTI-TOBACCO MOVEMENT. It seems at a
Methodist Conference, held at Zanesville,
Ohio, on the 27th ult., resolutions were passed
requesting Mr. Springer to deliver an .Jnfi-
Tobacco Lecture. After the Lecture the Pledge
was presented, and 26 signatures of the Con

VIOLENT THUNDER STORM. There was a
violent thunder storin at Boston on Saturday
last. The rain fell in large quantities, and at
Milton it was accompanied with hail, and such
a severe gust of wind, as to prostrate Indian
corn, and strip trees of their fruit. The Rev.
Mr. Thayer's church, at Beverly, was struck
by lightning, and a number of the congregation
prostrated by the shock, though none were se
riously injured. The telegraph wires at VVeet
brough were struck, and some fifteen or twen
ty of the posts shivered. The barn of Mr.
Joseph Colbourn, at South Natick, was struck,
and with its contents was consumed. Loss
SBOO, and insurance $425.
OPPOSED TO HANGING. Cain, sentenced to

muted to imprisonment for life, by the Gover
nor General.

! gers near Vansville, Prince George's county,
! Md., have had to submit to a reduction of 25
! cents per day in their wages, since the new
I Tariff bill has passed.
A CLERGYMAN SHOT. The Rev. Mr. Wil.
j son, a Catholic Clergyman, while hunting near
| Taunton, was accidentally shot by a boy who

dysentery 2, and consumption 10.
SUICIDE. We learn from the Philadelphia
liagle, that Mr. Knapp, who kept a china store
in Third st. shot himself on Tuesday night in
a house of ill-fame in Green Court. He had j
been in the habit of intercourse with the keeper
of the house, and jealousy of her conduct withj
another is supposed to have produced the fa- j
tal act.
MONEY MARKET. Bicknell's Reportersays:
Money continues in active demand in Phila
j delphia. Fair paper may bo negotiated at from

DR. JOHNSTON,
a distinguished graduate from one of the first Co
leges i ntlie United States, which may be seen by his
Diploma; also, a member of the Royal College of
Surgeons and Licentiate ot the Apothecary's Hall,
London; and the greater part of whose life has been
spent in the first hospitals of Europe and America,
viz- those of Loudon, Paris and Philadelphia, may
be consulted on all diseases, but more particularly
A CERTAIN DISEASE.
When the misguided and imprudent votary of plea
sure finds he has imbibed the seeds ofthis painful dis
ease, it too often happens that an ill-timed sense ot
shame, or dread of discovery, deters him from apply
ing to those who, from education and respectability
can alone befriend him, delaying till the constitutional
symptoms of this horrid disease make theirappeai
ance, such as ulcerated sore throat, diseased nose,
nocturnal pains in the head and limbs,dimness of sight,
deaftiess, nodes on the shin bones and arms, blotches
on the head, facearid extremities, progressing on with
frightful rapidity, till at last the palate of the mouth 01
the bones of the nose fall in and the victim ofthis aw
ful disease becomes a horrid object of commiseration,
till death puts a period to his dreadful sufferings, by
sending him to "that bourne whence no traveller re
turns." To such, therefore, Dr. JOHNSTON pledge*
himself to preserve the most inviolable secrecy: and,
from his extensive practice in the first hospitals or
Europe and America, he can confidently recommend
a safe and speedy cure to the unfortunate victim of
this horrid disease.
It is a melancholy fact, that thousands fall victim
to this horrid disease, owing 10 the unskillfuhiess or
men, who by the use of that deadly poison, mercury,
ruin the constitution, and either send the unfortunate
suffer to an untimely grave, or else make the residua
of his life miserable.
GONORRHOEA AND GLEET CURED, by ths
most speedy and the most pleasant remedy known te
no other physician. It requires no restraint of diet,
or hindrance from business —it is mild, safe and effij
eacioue. eradicating every symptom of this affection,
without causing other diseases, such as STKICTOM
and AFFECTIONS or TIIE BI.ADDER und PROSTRATE
GI.AND, which impyrics and quacks so often create
their noxious drugs and filthy infections.
STRICTURES—when there is a partial supprei
sion of urine, accompanied with uneasiness in tha
parts, or a frequent desire to make water, it is called
Stricture. Yet this disease may exist, and none 01
these symptoms be perceptible, or if at all, they art
so slight as to pass unnoticed; hence, we find thou
sands laboring under this affection who are entirely
unconscious of it— such persons become weak in tha
parts, seldom have children, and in the later stages of
this complaint are incapable of enjoying Marriage—
their systems become deranged, particularly the
stomach, inducing symptoms of dyspepsia; also affec
tions of the mind, peculiar fits ol melancholy, fcc.
See. which may end in some, dreadful disease of the
nerves, and will either caase a pi em attire death 01 v
! else make Hie rest of life miserable. To such perj
1 sons, Dr. JOHNSTON offers the most speedy reined)
that can be obtained in the United States.

TAKE PARTICULAR NOTICE.
| Young men who have injured themselves by acer
tain practice indulged in when alone—a habit fre
I qiiently learned from evil companions, or at school—
the effects of which are nightly fell even when asleep,
i and if not cured renders marriage impossible, and de
' stroys bolh mind and body.
What a pity that a young man, the hope of hii
country, and the darling of his parents, should be
snatched from all the prospects and enjoyments of
life by the consequences of deviating from the path of
nature and indulging in a certain secret habit. Suck
persons before contemplating
MARRIAGE,
Should reflect that a sound and body are the moat
necessary requisites to promote connubial happiness.
Indeed, without these, the journey through lifebe
corncs a weary pilgrimage, the prospect hourly dark
ens to the view—the mind becomes shadowed with
despair,and filled with the melancholy reflection, that
the happiness of another becomes blighted with out
own.
CONSTITUTIONAL DEIULITV.
Dr. J. addresses young men and all who have in]
jared themselves by private &. improper indulgences,
IMPOTENCE—WEAKNESS OE THE GENI
TAL ORGANS.
Loss of virile power is the penalty moslfreq ucntly
paid by those who give a loose rein or license lotheir
passions. Young petsonsarc too apt locommitex
! cesses from not being aware of the dreadful effects
that may ensue. Although impotency occurs from
'■ stricture, deposites in the urine, gravel, ami from nu
merous other causes, yet the abuse of the sexual or
gans, by excessive venery or self-pollution; purlieu
larly the latter is the more frequent cause of it. Now
who that understands the subject will pretend to deny
that the power of procreating the species is lost soon
er by those who practice the solitary vice than by tha
prudent. Besides, by premature impotence the di
gestive functions are deranged and the physical and
mental powers weakened by a too frequent and too
great excitement of the genital organs. Barents and
; guardians are often misled, with respect to tha
causes or sources of disease in their sons and wardt.
How often do they ascribe to other causes the wast
ing of the frame, idiotcy, madness, palpitation of tha
heart, indigestion, derangement of the nervous sys
tem, cough and symtoms, indicating consumption,
when the truth is that they have been caused by irj
dulging in a pernicious, though alluring practice, detg
tractive to both mind and body.
INVOLUNTARY SEMINAL EMISSIONS.
Of this distressing disease, which is the common
result of 'be above mentioned secret habit, but a very
brief description for many reasons,can be given here.
The complaint comes-011 gradually. It begins by a
too hasty discharge of semen in copulative ami pas
sionate dreams. Such emissions being too hasty,
I have no power, while the erections are feeble, imper
fect and soon over. As the disorder grows worse,
the discharges or emissions become more easily ex
cited and irequent, often brought 011 by lascivious
ideas,orb) merely touching the part, inthisdeplo
rjUiie case,the emissions take place without any
pleasure and without erection, and in this debilitated
and sensitive state of the organs the direful effects of
pollution so ruinous to health, take place day and
night. Pale,emaciated, and weak, the unhappy vic
; tim of artificial gratification complains of pain in tha
head and back, has a languid look, dimness of sight,
; flushing of the face w hen spoken to, low ness of spi
-1 rits, and a vague dread of something, often starting
! with terror at a sudden sight or sound. He also
loatlis society, from an innate sense of shame, and
feels a dislike to all bodily and mental exertion
Distressed, and his mind fixed upon bis miseries, h*
slyly searches every source tha promises relief.
Ashamed to make known his situation to his friends,
or those who by education, study,and practical know
ledge, are able to relieve him, he applies to the igno
rant and designing, who filch him of his pecuniar
' substance,and instead of restoring him to heatitii,
leave him to sigh over his galling disappointment; thu
last scene of the drama winds up with mania, cata
lepsy, epilepsy or some terrible disease of the nerves
and death drops the curtain, hurrying the nnhapp
j patient to an untimely tomb, where Ilia friends
totally Ignorant of the real cause.

TAKE NOTICE. DR. JOHNSTON has had a greutei
practice in the above affections than any physician in

others, from the factofhis having studied in the great
Hospitals of both Europe and this country, viz: those
of England, Fiance, Spain, Russia, Denmark, Sic.,
and the Hospitals of Philadelphia. Thousands in
Baltimore can testily that be cured them alter every
