CAREER OF AN ADVENTURESS.

A writer in a Boston journal communcates the following information " regarding the career of tho adventuress who was married in London to the late well-known actor, Walter Montgomery— a marriage which was almost immediately followed by the suicide of the bridegroom. This woman was one of the coryphees of a Boston theatre, when she attracted the attention cf ari old but wealthy citizen, who was foolish enough to marry her. The union was not a happy one, as the woman coon developed a fondness for fast society which was anything but agreeable to her aged spouse. Finally she ran away, and visited England, where it is well-known she was married to Montgomery, who was on the point of visiting the United States. It has been said that his mortification on discovering the true character of the person he had wedded, drove him to the desperate step of taking his own life in preference to meeting the scorn which he expected to receive from the world when the facts became known. Mr Montgomery dead and buried, the spurious widow returned to her legitimate husband in Boston, who appears to have been so infatuated with the unprincipled adventuress as to have lost all regard for lis honor or good name. The treacherous woman was received with open arms, and supplied with unlimited sums of money. She appeared in public on every occasion with all possible display, making a profuse and ostentatious expenditure of her husband's wealth. In the course of a few months the foolish old gentleman's means were all squandered, and very recently his name appeared in a list of bankrupts. As might have been expected, the woman who had caused his ruin deserted him as soon as his ability . to administer to her extravagance had failed."
