cannot deny , th • I •, toted . .. miasma there be-men true Breecome, the sister-in-iiw of a blinker dicer, a major Mitchell, of the artillery, and marriettber. She was of the age of fiftnen—he of -twenty : inter was there an union of more • • . attachment. She had no fortune, and • he very little, independent of his profession. Gladly, Getillemftn, toftld I pause here—gladly would I turn from what Mrs. Fitzgerald is, to what she then was : bld I will not throw a mournful interest Mound her, file. well I know_ that, in despite of all her errors, ithere is 'one amongst us who, in his sorrow's solitude, for many a future year of misery, will turn to that - aiding thtiugh dehisive vision, till his tears shut out the ansierse. He told me indeed that she was lovely, but the light 'that igave the gem its brilliancy has . Genuine loveliness consists in virtue--all else is ileetin&and perfidious ; it is asthe orient dawn that ushers in the tempest—it is as the green and &way turf; beneath which the earthquake slumbers. In a few month. my client introduced her to his family, and here beneath the roof of his sister, Mrs. Kirwan, for some years they lived most happily.— You shall hear, as well from the inmates, as from the habitual visitors,' that there never was a fonder, a More doating husband, and that the affection ap peased to be reciprocal. Four infant babes, the wretched orphans bf their living parents—doubly orphaned by 'a father's sorrows and a mother's shame ;--looked up to them for protection.. As their family iinessued, a separate establishment was considered I Aseessary, and to a most romantic little cottage on the estate of his brother, and the gift of his friend ship, Mr. Fitzgerald finally removed his household. Here, Gentlemen, in this sequestered residence,'blest with the woman whom he loved, the children he adored, with- a sister's society, a brother's counsel, and a character that turned acquaintance into friend ship, be enjoyed delights of which humanity I fear is net allowed aFernianence. The human mind per haps cannot imagine a lot of purer or more perfect happiness. It was .a scene on which ambition in its laurelled hear sight look with envy ; compared with arbids . the vulgar glories of the wor":1 are vanity; a spot of such serene and hallowed solitude that the heart must hive been stormy, and the spirit torpid, whialli its charmed silence did not soothe into con tallillelit. Yet even there hell's emissary entered; and its blossoms, blooming with celestial life, were Widiered into garlands-for the tempter 1 How shall i thamibe the heft) of this triumph ? Is there a len that has words of fire to parch whate'er they tent Is there a phrase so potently calamitous P t ill its kindless freezes and its blessings curse ? Rear from me the poor and impotent narration of his • how as a friend he murdered oos aince—how as a guest be violated hospitality— how as a soldier be embraced pollution—how as a man he rushed to the perpetration, not merely of a lawless, but an unnatural enjoyment over every hu man bliss and holy sacrament, and then say whether it is in Metal tongue to epitomize those practices into a characteristic epithet! He Is, you know, Gen dem% an Officer of Dragoon:, and about twenty years ago was it that capacity quartered in this county. His own manners, imposing beyond de scription, and the habitual hospitality of Ireland to die military, tendered his society universally solicited. He was in every house, and welcomed every Where ; nor was there 'any board more bountifully spread for him, or any. iourtesy more warmly wedded, than that which he received from the family at Oaklands. Old Mr. Fitsgerald,was then master of its hereditary mansion, his eldest son just verging upon manhood, and my client but ayschool boy. The acquaintance gradually grew into intimacy, and the intimacy ripened into friendship. Captain Kerr, of the Royals, is very near Usti ; he ia, a native of Scotland ; he .has been all his life a military officer; Mother words, to the advaatageof expenence and the•polish of tra iel, he adds what Lord Bacon calls that , left-handed seiniessf with which the thrifty genius of the Tweed haulms said to fortify her children. Never, lon told, did their amigrate, even from Scotland, a mass 'of more Wray, or of more cunning —one whose's& was Mont capable of inspiring confidence, or arts were better calculated to lull suspicion: stave given him the caution of age, without , E rs= tho sensibilities of youth: nature made mativitY made him frugal, and'half a ernearilit now sillstored him into a perfect mo d e l of thrift); samtimeit and ansprout'ser.ility 1 His first • ; _ sure . • Pity, _ forsoet. that such talents ' and such v irtues should deftauithe world of their exercise—he would write to General Hope .to advance him—he would resign to him his own Paymastership—in short, there was no personal, ne pecuniary sacrifice which he was not eager to make, out of the prodigality of his friendship ! The young, open, warm-hearted Fitz gerald, was caught by this hypocrisy—the sun itself was dark and desultory, compared with the steady splendour of the modern 'Fabricius. It followed. Gentlemen, as• a matter of course, that he was al lowed an almost unbounded confidence in the family. His friendly intercourse with Mrs. Kirwan—his equally friendly intercourse with Mrs. Fitzgerald, the husband of neither - had an idea of misinterpret?. ing. In the mean time the temper of Mrs. Fitzge rald became ,perceptibly embittered—the children, about whom she had ever been affectionately solici tous, were now neglected—the ornamenting of the cottage, a favourite object also, was totally relin quished—nor was this the worst of it: she became estranged from her husband—peevish to Mrs. Kir wan, her manner evincing constant agitation, and her mind visibly maddened by some powerful though mysterious agency. Of this change, as well he might, Captain Kerr. officiously proclaimed himself the discoverer ; with mournful affectation he obttu ded his interference, volunteering the admonitions he had rendered necessary. You can have no idea of the dextrous duplicity with which be acted. To the unfortunate Mrs. Fitzgerald he jield ur the al lurements with Which vice conceals'and decorates its deformity—her beauty, her talents, the triumphs which awaited her in the world of London, the in justice of concealment in her present solitude, were the alternate topics of his smooth-tongued iniquity; till at length exciting her vanity, .and extinguishing her reason by " spells and drugs, and accursed in cantations," he juggled away her innocence and her virtue ! To the afflicted Mrs. Kirwan he was all af fliction; weeping over the propensities he affected to discover in has wretched victim ; detailing atrocities he had himself created; defariing a i zi ns d e e l frading the guilty dupe of his artifices,. and ; iag the instant.separation which was to afford him at °nee impunity and enjoyment. Trusted by alt be was tree to nose. Every day maligning pa c t Fitzgerald to the rest of the family .. When ft to her ears, he cajoled her into thebelief that kkeas quite necessary be should appear her- enemy, 'teat their secret love might be the less suspected! Ins posies on Mrs. Kirwan the fabricated tale of Mrs. Fitagerald's infamy, he petrified her virtuous mind beyond the possibility of explanation! With Captain Fitzgerald he mourned over his woes, enjoining si lence while he was stodiously augmenting them. TO Colonel Fitzgerald he wrote letters of confidence and commiseration, even while the pen of his guilty cor respondence with his sister-in-law was wet! Thus, Gentlemen, did this Janus-frosted traitor, abusing Mrs. Kirwan by fabricated erimes--defaming Mrs. Fitzgerald by previous compaet•—ciestided in - by all —extorting from all—and all--on all—on the general credulity and the deception found the accomplishment of his odious purposes! There was but one feature wonted to make this profligacy peculiar as it was infamous. It had the grand master touches of the daemon, the outlines of gigantic, towering deformity, perfidy, adultery, ingratitude, and irreligion, flung in the frightful energy of their combination ; but it wanted something to make it despicable as well as dreadful; some petty, narrow, grovelling meanness that would (brad down the terrific magnitude of its crime, and make men scorn while they shuddered ; and it wants not this Only think of him when he was thus trepanning, betray ing, and destroying, actuallyendeavouring to wheedle' the family into the settlement of an annuity as Mt intended prostitute. You shall have it from ix wit-, ness—you :ball have it from his own -letter, 'dime be says to Mrs. Fitzgerald, " Where is your annuity? I dare say you will mauler inn you me perfectly in" ifferent ; but believe me I am not." • Oh, no, no. nb I—the seduction of a me thei—the calamityof it husband—the desolation of a household—the utter contempt of morals and religion—the cold-blooded assassination of character and of happiness, were as nothing compared to the expenditure of a shilling ; he paused not to consider the ruin he was inflictin g, " the expense he was incurring ; a prodigal in 'a ass- - in rere- -' he b.--- :brace a friend while barbarism; iat we +=- we were•planning his destruction ; that we could not affect his'table while we were profaning his bed; chat we could not preach morality whilst we were perpetrating crime ; and, above all, that if in the moment of our nature's weakness, when reason • ps, and passion triumphs, some confiding crea ture had relied upon our honour, we could not dash her from us in her trial hour, and for our purse's safety turn the cold-blooded assassin of her character Suppose I concede his whole defence to him—sup pose she was hegrimed and black as hell—was it for him to take advantage of her turpitude ? He a friend—a .guest—a confident—a brother soldier !—' Will you justify him, even in any event, in tramp ling on the rights of friendship, of hospitality, of professional fraternity, of human nature? Will you convert the man into the monster? Will you not fear the reproaches of departed glory ? Will you' fling the laurelled flag of England scorched with the cannon flame, and crimsoned with the soldier's life blood—the ag of countless fights, and every fight a victory—will you fling it athwart the couch of his accursed harlotry without almost expecting that the field sepulchre will heave with life, and the dry bones of buried armies rise reanimate against the profanation ! No, no: I call upon yhu by the cha racter of that army not to contaminate its trophies— I call on you in the cause of nature to vindicate its dignity—l call on you by your happy homes to pro tect them from pr of anat i on--I call on you by the love you bear your little children, not to let this Christian Herod loose amongst the innocents. Oh ! as you venerate the reputation of your country—as you regard the• happiness of your species—as you hope for the mercy of that all. wise and all. protecting Goo who has set his everlasting canon against adul tery—banish this day by a vindictive yeidictthe crime and the criminal for ever iron amongst us." • After a trial which lasted for seventeen hours, the Jury found a verdict for the plaintiff of £1,500 da mages, and 6d. costs. could nut e►; _Joseph Naples and George Martin were yesterday .Iseld to bail at Union-Hall, on a charge of stealing the dead bodies of two children out of Sutton churth yard, Surrey.

TOWN- IiALL, Sourniraar.--Thonias Wing was brought up by Reeve, the Marshalman and exa mined before Sir Jon N EAMIR, the sitting Magistrate, charged on suspicion of robbing his employers, Messrs. Sentance and Flint. grocers, 300, Borough, High-street. The prisoner's detection Was caused in the following singular manner:—He was porter to the prosecutors, and was frequently about the shop ; a large house-dog having seen him take money from the till, whiCh he tied in his pocket-handkerchief, followed him about till he saw him conceal it in a shed near the stables, and then he came into the shop and appeared quite restless, pulling every per son by the st,and apparenti?- wishing them to follow him. At length Henry Heydon, the appren tice; having occasion to go to the stable, the dog followed him, and having drawn his attention to the heap of rubbish, under which the money was buried, began to scratch at it till he brought the booty to view ! The apprentice brought it to his master, who counted, and found it to contain /2s. in copper coin. After marking it, he desired the boy to place it in the same spot, which h(did, and soon afterwards, finding that it was removed, he asked the prisoner some questions about it, but he declared his igno rance of the whole transaction. Reeve, the Mar shalman, was then sent for, who on searching the prisoner, found some of the marked halfpence in his Quasi-suoAstE,-.-Yesterday, Scroggins, the pugi list, and a prostitute, named Smith, were brought up from the watch-house, charged with being drunk and disorderly in the street on the preceding night. The watchman said he had been attracted to the spot by the wom*n's screaming “ Murder 1" When he came up, Scroggins said she had robbed him of his pocket book, containing £lO in notes.
