Uomaxicc iu Kcal Life. A suit of great interest and involving an , immense amount of property, is now pend? 1 ?. ing at New Orleans. A lengthy statement j1 made by one of the parties, with many documents annexed to it, has been published in the New York Evening Star, it is alleged in this statement that Daniel Clark, a merchant of immense wfcalth, who resided in New Orleans Irianv years ago, married a ? O 7 t French lady, who had previously gone thro' 1 titc marriage ceremony with a person, who, ?ntek>w? to her, had a wife living at the time. Mr. 11. ut first kept his marriage secret, in- | tending to make it public as soon as proof could be obtained to establish the invalidity of tho prior ceremony to which his wife had been a party. Before this proof coul.l be obtained,however, he and his wile quarrelled, separat'rd, and the wife left Louisiana, and erroneously thinking the last as well as the first marriage invalid, was married a third time, to a gentleman belonging to Philadelphia, wit!i whom she lived till his death, which took place recently, and Mrs. C. cumo t i New Orleans, wiVro she now resides. ?\ :.u n lsunug OCT COIUKtliUlI nua.ui. \^. u wuuuh* . tcr was born, to whom the name of Myra was given, ami who was subsequently sent i by Mr. C. to Philadelphia to be brought up. j Some time in 1811. Mr. Clark hoard a re- j port, which subsequently proved to be unfounded, that a Philadelphia partner of his had tailed, and was likely to involve him in i ruin. I le then expressed the utmost anxiety j for Mvrn; spoke of her as his daughter, con-! vexed two hundred thousand dollars for her ' benefit to three individuals as trustees, and made a short general will, bequeathing his estate in general terms to his mother, and appointed Messrs. llelf and Cliiew his executors, to whose keeping he also committed the will. Afterwards, upon finding that the reports o( his partner's insolvency were in-1 correct, he said to several of his friends that: he intended tliat Myra sliould be his heiress,' a.ud that he intended to revoke the will of 181!. Jn July, 1813, Mr. Clark, iu conformity ! with his repcatcdiv expressed intention, did j1 ? ill 1n*ii*inrr ATlilo lu.i>?noc ! IlivllVV UliVill'Jl *?

Tuis wiil lie showed to the executors and to Mi ss Harriet Harper, and he also stated its ! c .mtents to Alons Puis Poutaiua, his confi- \ iCirtial agent, an 1 also stated that lie had ' deposited it in a certain black caso in a room i h ;low t!ic oao where he was lying. There :, is evidence to show that Mr. Rolf) the first : cxecu-lor name 1 in the will of 1311, took cs- ' i peoial pains to keep Mr. Clark's other friends j from seeing him. about the time of his u'c- j J cease; it is also alleged that a few moments i before -Mr. Ciark's decease, AIf. Relf took a i bunch of keys from his ariiioirc, one of which ' was supposed to be the key of the black j \ case alluded to, tlvat lie went b?!ow into the i j room where the black case was, shut him- j, sell* in, and staid some time; and it is ccr-; tain that no trace of the last will has ever : since been seen and that Mr. It elf according- j 3v came into possession of the estates, under i the lirst will, as executor, and has never | rendered an account from the time of his j entering on that office until this day. The wonder and suspicion excited by these | .circumstances gradually died away. The j orphan daughter remained at lhiiladclphia J under the care of the kind friends with whom j she had been placed by her father, bearing 1 their namc,& ignorant of her own parentage,, till 1832. Wm. Wallace Whitney, a son i of Gen. Whitney of fiinghampton, New York, married her, obtained the history'of j Iter birth, and went to New Orleans with her ; to develop? the mystery which hung over ' the settlement of the estate. He soon oh-! t uned enough evidence to justify him in < filing a petition in Prbbato against Mr. Rolf.-j ATi* It liini for a libel i alleged to be contained in the specifications of his petition, and had him committed to a common jail, where during the prevalence of the cholera, ho remained away from his wife and children twenty-one days. Judge j V/atts refused to liberate him unless he i would give bail in the enormous sum of ( $35,000. lie finally obtained his release : by removing the cause to the United States j court. Tnis libel suit as well as Mr. Whit-; ncy's proceedings in the probate court is j s.iil pending and undetermined. j ^ A schedule of a part merely of Mr. Chi rk's i possessions, siiows a value of upwards of five millions of dollars!

It should be understood that the statement of which we havo made an ; abstract is an ex parte one, drawn up by Mr.!
