Mr. John A. C. McCalman wrote, giving no address, to say that he had determined to abandon his engagement. He stated his.rea sons, and wished his deserted and dejected bride greater happiness than she could have ever had in a matrimonial alliance with him, She will, it is hoped, realise his wishes.
