[Note.—This case has been the sensation of London for some time past.

After sending his wife home to England in a cargo steamer without a penny, Langworthy remained in South America, and refused to contribute to her support, his lawyers at home meanwhile raising every obstacle to the poor woman's obtaining justice. Under the title of “ A True Story, or the Langworthy Romance ” the Pall Mail Gazette published her history the result being that L2OOO was raised to help her, in a week. A new action was the n brought with the result recorded this morning. Langworthy is related to more than one English noble family.]
