LITERATURE. Ntmoirs Qf Mrs. Fit:her'pert : with au account of her Marring( with /I. it.M. the Prince of Wnks,qfter w Ards King Gio,p. the Fourth. By the Hoe. CHARLES LANA,DALE. London : Richard Bentley, The object of this publication, we are told by the anther, is twofold : " to rescue both a Catholic lady and the Catholic Church from the opprobrium which would attach to them it the aspersions con tained in the ' Memoirs of the Whig Party,' by the late Lord Holland, and edited by his son, were founded in fact." First, as to what concerns the Catholic Church. We must awful that, with all our Pio...stint prepossessions, we are not prepared to maintain that any stigma would attach to it, even though it could be proved that the lady was the Prince's m:stress and nut his wife. Indeed, it appears to us that the Hon. Mr. Langdale has done his C.urch but indifferent service by admitting that "opprobrium would attach " to it it it could be proved that one "light of love has belonged to l's flock. It it be so he most, in order to' whitewash it, set himself to prove that Agnes Sorel, Gabrielle d'Estree, and Louise de Querouaille, CUM multi, mils, have all been belied by historians. This, however, is his business, not ours. With regard to the lady the case is different. Whether she is to go down to posterity as having been the wife or the mistress of the Prince of Wales, is a matter that affects her reputation. Let as see what light is thrown upon thisquestion by Mr.Lang dale's book. In the " Memoirs of the Whig Party," by the late Lord Holland, it is stated " I believe that she [Mrs. Fitsberbtr] spoke with truth when she frankly owned ' that she had given herself op to him, ex acted no conditions, trusted to his honour, and set no value on a ceremony which he insisted on having solemnised.' " '1 his averment Lord Holland made on the authority of en anonymous "mend of mine, a man of strict veracity." The facts proved in Mr. Langdale's book, however, leave no doubt that the man of strict veracity told Lied Holland a bouncing falsehood. It is clear that Mrs. F.tzherbert set great vales on the ceremony that was solemnised between her and the Prince. The letters of the Duke of Wellington, the late Lord Albemarle. the late Lord Stourton, and the Hon and Rev. R. S. Koppel, prove beyond a doubt that five papers are preserved, of which the three following an the most important:—The certificated the marriage, dated December 21, 1786; a letter from the late King, relating to the marriage, sigud [[George IV.]; and a memorandum written by Mrs. Fitsbetbert, appended to a letter written by the clergyman who performed the marriage ceremony. It is 'Leo satisfactorily proved that Mrs. Fitsherbert attached the utmost importance to the preservation of these document', as vouchers for the propriety of her conduct. So far the Hon. Mr. Langdale has suc cessfully established his ease. Bat the question remains, Was thelady bonafide con vinced in her own mind that she we. the wife of the Prince ? It is not easy to say low Wham= beings may not deceive themselves when their passions or their vanity ere concerned I but we poems it is extremely difficult to imagine that Mrs. Fiertserbert believed her self to be the wife of the Prince of Wales. The mar riage .....unistsv was performed in Deosin>ar, 1786. The Royal Marriage Act,which rendered null and void any marriage contracted by a descendant of George 11. without the previous consent of the King, or a twelve * on' Ws notice given to the Privy Council, was paused it 1772, only thirteen years earlier. The whole mactry had rang wile the acrimonious and pro em ed debates whkb ireceded the puling of that act. Its most stress,' opposents were the politi cians who in 1785 formed the Court of the Prince of Wales. It requires a large amount of charity to admit that Mrs. Fiteheslocrt believed she was legally made a wife by the eer irony which appears to have quieted the qualms of her 6asscienoe. But admitting that in 1785 she imagined the form she insisted upon going through had virtue enough to " make an honest woman of her," what are we to think of her conduct at a subsequent period? We allow Mr. Langdale to tell the part of her story to which we now allude in his own wards : When she had thought her collection with the Price. was broke. tiff for ever by his second voice, she was some placed by him in difficulties limn the sews tersest end almost desperate pursuit as she tad been tiptoed to daviag the first interval of his ettichaeat. Numbers of the royal featly, both male sad female, urged a remaciliaties, even upon a ;thine pie of duty. Uoweier, au she wal by h's marriage with Clown Vs reline, piece I in a Mastitis of much diffieulty, iavolvinet bar owe cow c'erice, and making it doshi fel whether pubic sandal might mot hastier* with lei r own entegetesete, she determined to tenet to the highest seethe rtes of her own • shank up a a ease of such extraordinary in , ricecy. The Bev. U,. /fume, ova of the tinplates of Warwick-street 'impel, was, there're*, sleeted to go to Rome and lay the use befrie that tr.hunal, op= the eateries *ode steadies that, if the answer 'old be favourable, she would soma joie the Prises; if otterwiee, she was determined to stan dee the eosetry. In the mealtime, whilst the nertotietioa was platelike, she obtained • promise from his Royal Mohnen that he would not folio* her into her t in Wale% where she went cc a small bathing place. The reply from Rome, in • brie) which is a momeac of panie she destroyed, (tufa' of tee consequeetes ilariag Mr. Peneesre adminis tration, wm favourable to the wishes et the Prince ; sad, faithful to her oat detenninstion to set u mach as passible to the fate of the public, she resiste I all importunities to mut him clandestinsly. The day on which she joined him sgsia at her own home was the same on which she gave a pahlie brealifest to the whole tows of Loudon, and to while he wee invited. ISM told IN she hardly knew how she could messes neolutea to per that Mlse enteel, but she thanked God she bed the esseege is do ea The seat eight yaws were, she nil, the hepplest of her etiammioa with the Prises. She used tr say teat they were extremely poor, bat es merry se erickete ; and as • preef of their poverty, she told me that ones, en their Manias from Brighten to Leedom, they mattered their commie. mesa., sad weld not raise Al. bee twees teem. Upon this, or some each cc: mion, she related to =east so ell and faithful enema sad taioared to form these to aetep• 60l , which he said he had accumulated Ia the service of the best of mestere gad miatresses. She added, however, that eves this period, the happiest of their lives, was much embitter. d by the samerous political difficulties which frequently theronaded the Niece, and she parties hely alluded to whet has:hoes termed " the delmato item. tigatioa" la which Qeseallarolise and h s itoyal bligkame bad bees a maimed. By remaining silent elan the Prince of Wake was married to the Preens Caroline of Brunswick, Mrs. Fitsherbert allowed that unfortunate Princess (sad all the world) to believe that she was his wife. Vibe . ever may hive been the sobsequestcondoct of Qesen Garolias,at the time when Mrs. Fitzlierbert retard , to live with the Prince of Wales the Priming was the innocent and injured party. Was it compatible with female delioacy—with a womanly regard teethe rights and feelings of another woman—to live " se merry as a cricket " with the Prises of Wales eider each eirencestanose P It is an essentially low and corrupt tons of morals that can vindicate or palliate sock conduct. And what are we to think of the morality of a Church which could connive at, nay recommend, such a violation of principle and right feeling? The court of Rome, in sanctioeing the zebra of Ws. Fi , stierbert to the Prince of Wales nadir each cirenfeatanose, sanctioned, the peerage . tioa of a revolting and isdekesible connexion. Wee this with as eye to niesequesess which might some day have been deduced from the recognition of Mrs. Fitsherbert's marriage an valid, in the event of the Princess Charlotte's (or her descendants') succeeding to the mown of Ragland P Even the piss of "over-metering passion " cannot be pleaded in extenaatioe of the conduct of Mrs. Fireberbert. There is no reason to believe that she pamiceately loved the Prime. She remained abroad for upwards of a yesr, until she had him to her terms, before eke yielded to his = tine. At two different interests she broke off all eosineziee with him, sad was with difficulty pre veiled epos to resew it. His twisty was not Deem airy to her happiness. Attain, sbe never forgave Fox toe bevies; denied that she was the wile of the - Prises of Wake. She assisted that her linens with the Prince should be era and avowed. Only one inference can bedews tree. these tans : that it wester vanity that was tickled with the ruin rank of a Prince's Morganatic spew. And to gratify this vaalty, whit, with her eyes open, rippled Groat Britain to the peril, of • disputed succarsioo. The prudery and vanity of a frivolous woman were gratified at the risk of involving a whole nation in civil broils and bloodshed. Granted that she was beautiful; granted that she was fascinating ; granted that she was decorous ; still it reunion iocontestable that her hear - gees "salty might have *objected this country to the most terrible calamitiee.

The cant and false sentiment which pervade the book of the Hon. Mr. Langdale cannot be better illus trated than by the owlish gravity with which he relates the following anecdote: For some time her renitence had been alliiilllft, but she wee shoat to meet with a species of attack so unpresedsated and aline's, est ) shake her etiolation, and to tone her to take that fret step, which afterwards led by am (but on the put of the Prince successful) advances to that union which be so ardently desired, sod to obtain which he was ready to risk sash perontl secrificei. Keit, the surgeon, Lord Onalow, Lord Sochanipton, sad Mr. Edward Bosse tie, arrived at her house in the utmost sonsterattion, in forming her that the If. of the Prises was in immineat danger—that he had stabbed himeelf—sad that only her immediase presence would sue him. She resisted, is the most peremptory muses, ell their importanitiet, saying that nothing should induce her toaster Callum-hies'. She was afterwards brought to abate in the alum, hat still, fearful of some stratagem derrgatory to her reputation, ta nned epos aims lady of high chtraeter amounwnylag her, as an indispensable coalition ; the Duchess of Devonshire was selected. They four drove from Park-rarest VI Davos shire-hoses, ud Vieth her along with them. She Nand the Priam pale, sad covered with blowl. The sight so over towered her families, that she was deprived almost of all conscious,. The Niece told her that notbieg would in- duce him to live inlets she promised to become his wife, sad prrmit teal him to put a ring roead her Sager. I believe • Mug from the hand of the Dschese of Devonshire was used upon the oceasioa, and not one of his owe. Mrs. Pdsher hen being asked by me whether she did not believe that some trick had been practised, and that it was not really the Mold of his Riyal Highness, 'severed in the negative; and said she bad frqueatly seen the seer, end that some braady-aad-water was near his bedside when she was sidled to him on the day he wounded himself. After all the revelations that have been made of late years, it might have been thought impossible to have seek the reputation of George the Fourth to a lower depth. But this Marslalini attempt at suicide absolutely accomplishes that seemingly impossible feat. The brandy and water by the bedside is • Bight beyond what the most daring caricaturist could have ventured upon. Two motives are assigned by the Hon. Mr. Lang dale as havinturged hies on to publish his book. May we venture to hint that there may have been a third motive in play P The relatives of Mrs. Fitsherbert may flatter themselves that the equivocal connexio' n of that lady with Royalty ele vates her social rank and that of all connected with her.

The dealer %- ties stated that the plaintiff bad been bit and injured by a mischievous, savage, and ferooions dog kept by the defend ant, for which the plaintiff claimed damsel to the amount of 1001. Mr. Bittlisten thought that this WM II 011ie is which the jury would think that the plaintiff had sustained math little hardship. He was a lahoering gatellener and somew here about the 16th of March, 1856, was returning from his work, and primly through Aston, when the wife of the defendant (who was the view of the parish) ease by, accompanied by two doge. The animals, be believed, were cared Pepper' and "Mustard," and hos their labile he th night the jury would amides %bey well deserved their names. Lord Campbell—An they of the Dandle Dinnsont breed ? Mr. Bittleston believed they were.

The plaintiff, info re now sought something like substantial coaapema del is. t he injury received. By the law of the load, he was boa m& Se prow' the dogs wen of bad disposition, sad accus tomed to bite people. Lord Campbell—That is the law of England, but it is not the law of Bcollthd. By the law of that country, rho owner 1 a dog is liana frr all its misdeeds without the relents. Mr. Bittleetth obeetved that,in th.t respect tte law of BITING MN. would seem to be the ►etter of thie two. Mr. John Smith, the attorney, here rested that &labia's' bad been served upon the defendant to prodace Pepper and Mutard. (Laughter.) Lord Campbell—Let Pepper and Mustard be called. (A laugh.) 'llse dogs were here placed on the table of the cout. They were handsome di ge of the Skye and Otter breed Frederick Hohens, the eon of the parish clerk of Aston, stated that he had about a user back been attacked by the dogs is question. One of them tore a steal hole in his truism. He had previously shaken his stick at them, and bad, in feet, thrashed them f growling at him. A brother of the last witness, a boy used 14, proved that about 16 months ago he was in the Vicarsgeiyard, going to the vicar's, when he began to stroke the darker dog (has. tard), when the other name behind him. Thinking ha was going to bite h m he pat out his Lot behind ti keep him away, when he tit him in the leg. It was a slight wound, and hardly drew blood. Thomas emery, the plaintiff, is a gardener, and lives shoot a mile from the defendant's. On the 16th of Much, last year, he was returning home from his west between five , end eir. Was going down Park street, a quarter of a mile from the Visizsge, when he saw a lady with two dogs. They came barking. end attacked him, the one before and the other behind. He was is the middle of the road. They were trying to bite him, and 'within kept turning round and trying to keep teem off with hie haw's, and while he was doing so to the one before, the other (Pepper) bit him from behind in the leg, sear the ankle. It bleu very mach. He said, " Oh! dear. Oh ! dear." The lady came up, and said she was very at rry. Witham said, " Very sorry will wither conaty leg nor take the psis away." That lady wee Mrs. Puke.

In defence, the soared said he was stand's, at the end of Orpet-street, so as not to be an abstraction to the ttoroeghfore. He had t quit erre ref alert eighey paying devout attention to the Word.

The wit painful feature was tie peat exaggeration of the polies. The work had been taken up, and It had been toriderd necessary that it I shou!d 6t on, with as little obstrucion to Use thoroughfare at possible. Mr. Bingham said he thought It wee net material whether three or lour hundred parser wen smembled, as wirier swears ' or only 70 or 80, as the defendant amerted. 70 or 80 persons weld not arcuable in the street in question without obstructing the thorough:an, and it was err that no man had a right to stet/net a peblis thoroughfare by hlding forth what he termed the word of the Lord.

He was of opinion the policeman was quite right in dispersing the ger• sots assembled on the ocierion, and in removing the cause of the eascalblage. There was an obvious difference be tween a reed eorec'ed lu a street and a crowd collected he an open specs, suck as park.

The county magistrates meting for the Beth division of Smerset were engaged f.r toms time Cll SldUrday in investigating charges preferred against the keepers of two post receiving-ofßees, by Mr. Mmaay, the Inapeetor-General of the Poet-office. The first cam was satinet Such Corp, wh) acted as post-mistress at the Weathall receiving-office, at Welton, near Bath, and who was charged with stealing a port-letter belonging totter Majesty's Postmester.Ooneral• The prisoner was committed to take her trial at the next anises. The nest case was against Louisa Kelton, keeper of the receiving -office in the village of Twerton, nem Bath, who wee charged with using old pangs stamps. On tagalong the Twerton ban, on the 13:h and 19th lost , Mr. Motile found a letter on each occasion bearing • pottage stamp that had previously been used. It was proved in each can that the letters had been posted by ponies who bad paid the defendant the money, and requested her to aRc stamps to the letters. The dentition had rendered herself liable toe penalty of 201. in each case. Mr. Ramsay mid he scald multiply the costs, bet be only wished for one conviction, and did not prose for the penalty. Col. Blath wayte, in giving the decision of the magistrate?, remarked that cheap postage was a great boon to the public, and it became every respectable person to protect the system from fraud. The bench were willing to act upon the suggestion of Mr. Ramsay, as the defendant bore • very good chine ter, but she must pay a fine of 51. and cat•. Mr. Ramsay said, as the defendant had Wm some years in the service, and the ones would now be removed from her house, he should be satisfied with a further mitigation of the penalty. The is:moistness accordingly mitiaa:ed the fine to 11 and cote. Mr. Ramsey remarked that the Poet-office autho rities were determined to prosecute in every case of the kind discovered. THB CORN TRADE. Mom the Mark Lew Bs reB44 The return of Good Friday alter a sudden /an has given a dull septet to many markets during the past week, though they are generally quoted higher ; while the genial rain that ha fallen ban given a start to all vegetation; and the wheat plant., which were weak, and thres•ened in light soils and exposed situations by the late piereieg wind., begin already tosh • marked improvement. With pease in prospect, and an mutually 1 his seed-time, every facility will sow be affarded to bring whatever Russia can spore, in ad dition to the surplus of America ; and the fear of scarcity limos as the period of trial draws . Still there are six months to harvest; and the lowness of ate eke must give an sums' 'Fatima to the state of the growing crops till they are safely housed. Thus while the annual bounty of Providence Sorb de (Hairnet, the vicissitudes of the morns remind us to guard against the preenmptios of great abundance. Till • large crop is secured, low prices went imposible; and the effette of the war on Rude, after • deficient crop in that country, must be more or less felt, and will inevitably diminish the prospective sup; lies from this source for at lent another twelvemonth. The Italian states feel diepneed to ram their restricMas 'upon exportation; but their neighbours, the French, though with a present plenty in their marten, are very likely to be short as the season advance.; and • smut competit'on between several nations at the dose, is by no means improbable. Different opinions obtain as to the &mem done in some parts to the growing wheat; which appears principally tramah!e to insects, thseigh in tense frost is some situations hes doubtless done harm. Many counties, however, give most favourable reports, and there is yet time, in in stances r f failure, to replace with spring wheat or Lent earn. Potatoes hold cut well, at dente rates, and, as what remains diminish, let as hope that a favourable spring will provide us with plentsoue sub. stitutn to moderns the tonevreption of floor and errry us safely over harvest. There have been fair arrivals coast wise, principally of wheat, sort Behara has been placed at 405. per qe , Galata Maize at 365. Beans are very dull. he Wee of the post weak show a great Wheat- if, being only 88,681 qrs. Wheat at 67.. Ito., against 80,837 qrs. last year. Tte f importations into the principal p .rte for the week ending 12th March, were 40,952 qn., in wheat and flour. bloaday's market commenced on but a moderate supply, the &Nabob arrival of wheat being only 3,286 qrs., and the foreign 8,712 qrs., about twathirds of which were from ports in the Mediterranean, and 1,200 qr•• from India. The export exceeded that of tte previous week, being 1,426 qrs. There was also a falling ott in the moruing's supply from rent and Ewes, some paresis still appearing out of condit:oe, hough many were improved. The previous Friday, es well as sit the country markets, having esta blished a material advance, there appeared no necemity for factors to relax is their demands. The first high rotas de manded were not complied with, the more certain prospects of peace seeming still partially t s Minium buy( rs, though Si. per qr. more was generally obtained on approved sam ples; some, however, with less condition,* bad to be carried over to the chances of the next market day. With regard to f. reign descriptions, price. were irregular, some holders having made sales in the panic, and others holding on; but an improvement, either as to he power of selling or ratios obtained, was generally admitted, 20. to 3s. advance being about the average eatUate. More money wee demanded for fleeting cargoes. On Wednesday the quanti=y per Dust was 480 qrs., the foreign 6,210 qrs. The marker, in aericipation of the holiday on Friday, was ezieseively dull, and had sales been forced, lower prices mast have been mut . witted to; the prospects of peace, too, gathering strength, still wet an indiretee is millers. __ _ The supply of country flour on Monday wee reduced to 9,156 seeks, tke foreign being en'l 40 sacks. The morning commerced with an attempt to obtain as high a price as 52.. for Norfolk., which would hove been an advance of 5..; but this was found itop , acticible, and business could o , ly be effected, aid that without facility, at 60s. as the top price. Town samples ale) fluctuated between an adver ce of 2.. to 4.. per tack till the close of the market, but was finally fired at the lower rate, making the highest quotation 65.. American was folly Is. per barrel d . Oa Wednesisy the gout sepply was 520 mite, with 6,650 barrels from America. Business WIN almost nominal, though quotations stn d as on Monday. The supply of barley on Monday, entirely English, did not quite reach 4,000 qrs. The inquiry still ciontianing in active for fine melting samples at Is. advance, other a vs, iron the moderate quantity showing, were placed with^ut difficulty at • similar either coment The stork of this grain appears graduaily redueiny, and the lightness of samples this mesa mast materially dienin oh the calculated yield. On Wednesday there were per coast only 90 qr.. ; still the g 1 dullness influenced buyers, who were el , sioclined to make purchases, with the prarpeot of the delivery being retarded. Malt has been ►orne apwsrl by the continued rise in the best barley, and factors were able to establish en advance of 2s. per qr.: this for the present is not unlikely to be **stained. Monday's oat supp'y, though good, was not escaroles, Nis., 22,600 qrs.; of these 4,000 qre. were Irish, 17,000 qrs. from the continent, and the sma . l remainder English, The upward tendency, which was But displayed on the previous Wednesday, was st.ll manifested, and for sweet and hand some samples of corn an occasional advance of ed. per qr. was realised; chile all other sorts found a better trade, the transactions being in sellers' favour. The moderate prices which now obtain will probably bring this grain below the level of hay prices, and must be calcul.ted largely to in creases the consumption on the reestablishment of peat. On Wednesday the arrivals were per coast but 580 qrs., from abroad 6,660 qes. A holiday Influence preceded, and consequently but few transaction took place, buyers of quantities having the tun somewhat in their favour, where vessels were required to be cleared. Banplies of linseed being only moderate, and importations from Russia being distant as it respects time, the rates were well supported ; the almost tut sl destruction of turnips ins Wein, a constant demand for feeding onerous. The business in elorereeed was stmewhet ostensive; the excess becoming more pr:pitious, and foreign supplies falling off, from the increased rates is Francs end Belgium ; buycre, therefore, fused themselves under the necessity of paying Is, to 2s. per qr. more for red samples, and rather more than this advance f. r white. Trefoil priv s, notwith standing their height, wne also well sustained, from the reareity of this seed. Canary has been somewhat neglected. Elempseed dull end unaltered. Itspeseed, and the seeds need in confectionery, as well as inuatardeeed, have shown little change. As respects the . 00natry markets, fluctuations still con tinue in wheat pr vs; but in all caret where an advance has been established, it has been with a slow action. The following places ecarcely note say ebeoge, vin., Newark, Boston, Leeds, Bristol, and fdanecester. At Birmingham end Wakefield, however, there was • decline of le. to 2c. per qr., and at Stamford it was 2s to 39. pr qr. cheaper. Spalding. on the contrary, notes Is. to 2a. per qr. advent's, Market Heirborough, 2e. and Gainsborough and 801 l 2.. to per qr. St. ITV, Means Mowbray, Lynn, Market Rosen, and Peterborough quote 3,. to 4s. per qr. dearer. At Loath the improvement was 41. to 69. per qr., but hardly sustained.
