Attempt At Abduction In Portugal Tuppbua...
• while the « ount fortune-hunter waited with a priest ( who had not the best character in the world , and -who was unprovided with any ecclesiastical authority ) at another spot . Every requisite had been provided to carry off the innocent victim ; but Providence stepped in to render abortive the whole machination ; for the mother , apprised of all preparations , had wisely taken her daughter to Begoa , and General Baron de found that the . assaulting party to which he and his colleagues were treacherously to open the gates of the citadel , had been unnecessarily equipped . To follow the fugitives to Eegoa was found impracticable , for the people there , had armed and placed themselves in battle array , preparing to Bound the tocsin on the first alarm . The widow , however , not . considering her daughter secure from a surprise , demanded a military escort , and went to Lamego under their protection , intending to enter a convent for security , but the abbess refused to receive her , offering to take the young lady , ¦ which of course the mother declined . All the papers of the kingdom have raised the cry of disdain against those who had or are supposed to have had any part in the attempted abduction ; and such has been the feelings in Oporto , that the count has disappeared from the hotel , leaving his baggage and warlike stores behind him , while the people of the North « ire determined to enter the lists of combat , if necessary , to protect the lady . ' * Strange assertions are made relative to this affair ; among which are , that the count says he was led into it , and others say , that titles and decorations were prepared for those who assisted in bringing it to the desired conclusion .

GRtSI AND MARIO EATJED BY DOLLARS . A Nkw Yohk paper gives an Amusing account of an auction , wluc h was held to t « st the cstiumtion in which Urisi and Mario are to lie hold by tho citizens ot taut town . At Uio hour Axed upon for tho beginnniK « f i | l 0 Bulo of tickets , there w «» o pieaont about 120 O persons , Kathered iu front of the atuiro , both on tlip gtouiHl-flaor and in the gullc-iy . At half-post tljrco o'clock Mr . Leeds made his uppoaranco upon the stage , and without delay proceeded to open tine ealo i—
" Well , gentlemen , 'said he , coming forward to the front of the stage , " we will aow go on with the sale of the tickets , and we shall sell them for a premium on the prices named Before I commence , however , I will merely say that from No . 1 up to 56 , in the front of the gallery , are reserved for the governor and suite . The seats fixed at five dollars are numbered from 600 to 853 inclusive , and from 1100 to 1338 all of which are in the gallery . All the rest of the seats in the gallery will be disposed of for three dollars . We have no diagram of the pit , as the lithographer did not have it out in time ; Imt we will designate the seats b y a person holdins a red flag over them when they are put up for sale . " A Voice : How many seats have you reserved for the governor ? Mr . Leeds : From Ho . 1 up to 56 , which are directly hi the front line of the gallery . A Voice : What governor do you mean ? ( Laughter . ' ) Mr . Leeds : Governor Seymour , tlie Governor of the Stat « of New York .
1 he Voice : I am a democrat , and that is the reason I ask the question . Mr . Leeds : Yes , sir ; that's all right;—perfectly right . Now , then , where is the flag-man ? Flagman : Here 1 am , sir . Mr . Leeds : Well , hold up the flag so as we can all sec where you are . There—that will do . Now , gentlemen , \ v « will give you a privilege—we will begin with No . 600 , an « l give you the piivilcge of taking ten seats at the premium offered . How much do you bid for 600 ? Tliefe ' -it is , you see ; the iiag designates the exact place ; it is exactly in front of the . static , on the ground-floor . How mucii gentlemenhow much ? Come . .
A Voice : Fifty dollars . ' . . Mr ., Leeds : Fifty dollars is bid for it . Another Voice : Seventy-five . ¦ . : Mr . Leeds : Seventy-live . Come , gentlemen— eighty , ninety , one hundred , one hundred and twenty-five , oneTiundred and fifty , one hundred and seventy-five , two hundred ,, two hundred and twenty-five , two hundred , and fifty . This is the choicest s _ eat . At two hundred and fifty this seat will be sold if there is no more bid- for it-rat two hundred and fi—rone more bid for it , or it is * gone now- ^ w ^ hiahdred and . fi % i going *—going—rgone , at two hundred and fifty , to -Mi . CouttS * . , . ; , . ,. ., ¦ . . ' ' .- ' A Voice : Wlio is Mr . Coutts ? \ Liaughter . y Mr . Leeds : Well , gentlemen , in reply to that , question , L have only to say that I have had deposited with me fiftypounds sterling , and I pledge yott my . honour vthat it is 11 oondjide sale . I have the . money to show for it . Now we
will go on with the rest . , ¦ ¦ . - ¦ - ...: As Mr . Leeds did not , however , enlighten the . audience £ n regard to the purchaser , and ' as considerable curiosity is manifested in this unknown personage , ' we will endeavour to enlighten the public in regard , to her , for ska 15 awoman though assuming the name of , a man . ¦ It appears that Mario has for a long time past be «? u beset with the attentions of an English lady of great wealth , whopersists in following him wherevt-r he goes , althdugii he has frequently denied her an interview . While in London she never was absent a night duiing his enKagcment , and always occupied the most conspicuous , place in front ; of the .- stage .. . < Whea he went to St . retersburg she ibllowed'him , arid on his ' appearance thexe
one ot tlie first persons he saw among the brilliant audience of the Russian capital waa his constant and ardent admirer . In her devotion to him she ; crossed ocean and continents , aral although he bus always sli g hted lw attentions and refused to listen to her addresses , her love-rif love it can be called ¦—has never grown cold , but appears to increase with time . As soon as she heard of his intention to visit this country , she kept a vigilant watch on his , movements , till Bhe found that ho was coming in the Baltic , -when she immediately engaged rooms on board that vessel , and ' apcomp ^ anied him to this country . On their arrival Mario arid Grisi put up at the St . Nicholas , apd so d . id'Mr- Cbiltts ; and , now at the lirst auction of tickets we find him ' ( , we heg the . lady ' s pardonher ) giving two hundred and fifty dollars for the first seat The other seats sold at similar premiums .
