MARIA. - - - No. HAYNE TO MISS FOOTE. (Received Saturday, 3d July) (Delivery post-marts, July t.) I was anxious to avoid entering into any explanation respecting the interview I had with Colonel Berkeley. Your letter now re quires it at my hands, though as painful to my feelings as it mutt be to your's. Judge, then, of my surprise and misery, when Coital nel Berkeley stated you were the mother of a family — the youngest of whom was but one month old. From the first moment I was introduced to you, till the present period , what has bee n my 1 con duct? My intentions I pledge my soul, were honourable, which I stated to Colonel Berkeley previous to his leaving the house. With respect to the money you allude to, I was asked by the above Gentleman if I had advanced any to r. Foote? I stated I had, but was confident you were ignorant of it. Should there be any doubt of my honourable intentions towards you, as you express in your letter there may be—chew this, publish it to the world, and it will prove my attachment was founded upon pure and sincere love. The cup has been dashed from my ;my feelings more hurt than I can express, in bring separated from one I prised and loved; one whom I would have sacrificed my life for. The com municaden Colonel Berkeley made to me, which in self-defence I have been obliged to relate to you, to prove my mind was not poisoned against you by the idle caprices of any one. I pledge my honour, and all that is dear to me, never escapes my lips. No—l will never suffer any one to throw out any insinuation prejudicial to your conduct or honour. Mr. Foote's behaviour to me has been ungrateful, insincere in the extreme. From my heart 1 wish you happy, though I never can be. J. HAYNE. No. XIV.--hIISS FOOTE TO MR. BAYNE Saturday, 541 .1%4,1824. Al! disappointments, all injuries, deep and base as I have to dared, and must still e ndure through my wretched life, I feel that I could bear with fortitude; but the reflection that you should believe me base enough to h ave had an intention of becoming your wife, without a declaration from myself of the situation which my unfortunate engagement with Colonel Berkeley involved me in, is too agonizing, and I feel that I cannot exist without you afford me an opportunity personally of convincing you that such was net my intention, and that the villainy of Col. B. whO himself, by-letter. urged a concealment of the circumstances which I was determined to reveal, and caused a delay of my disclosure , which delay I shall never cease to regret—not solely because I consider it the pro- bable means of having prevented our union, but betause it has left me doubly dishonoured in your eyes in the suspicion you must have of my Dever having intended it. By the tenderness and kindness you have entertained for me—for GOD'S sake add one more act of generosity ; let me see you once to vindicate this point, and I promise you by ail that Is sacred, I will never again molest you, nor seek again to disturb that repose which I have so unfortunately, and so unintentionally intruded ea. I fear that you will hesitate in granting me an interview, but could you know the wretched and the unprotected situation in which I stand hi the world, without one friend to redress my injuries, and crushed and overwhelmed by every misfortune—but by none so much as the reflection that you must think so very basely of me—l cannot be lieve you will deny me, under any circumstances, theonly consola tion I can now derive—that of acknowledging to you all my errors, such as they really are, not as they were represented to you by one who, under the mask of nobleness and generosity, was determined to sacrifice me in his revenge, and to mortify you and to wound your pride, by endeavouring to make you feel that you had placed your affections on one who, by his interference, be placed in sap black a light as to appear wholly unworthy of your love. Under the de licate circumstances in which I feel you must now be situated with your family, on my account, l wish you to point out in what man ner our meeting may be contrived so as to render it the least-dis agreeable and inconvenient to you. In this appointment, though regardless of myself, I am anxious to avoid its befog in any way injurious to you. I will come, accompanied ash b y my mother, to Marlborough, or any more distant place from llurderop that you may like to appoint; for I know lour heart will yield to this my last and only request, and on which my only hope of consolation rests. I shall anxiously expect your answer on Monday, to say when and where we are to meet; and I shall hold myself prepared to leave London immediately for that purpose.—Farewell, most generous of men!

(To be confirmed.) WILLIAM LENNOX. During the late dreadful inundation at St. Peters burgh, Lieut.-General Beckendorff and Col. Germann, Aides-de-Camp of his Majesty, gave proofs of the most unbounded humanity. His Majesty, in his solicitude to save the lives of the drowning sufferers, gave orders to General Beckendorff to send a boat with eighteen of the Imperial watermen, which was waiting in front of the palace, to encourage these sailors to the dangerous .. task they had to perform. General Beckendorff forgot all personal convenience, and waded up to the quay, where the water was up to his shoulders. He then got on board the boat, which was commanded by the Naval Officer Beliseff, and directed all the movements.— During a perilous navigation, which continued till three O'clock in the afternoon, he had the happiness to preserve several individuals from inevitable death. At the commencement of the inundation, Colonel Germann received orders from his Majesty to proceed to the suburb Columna for the purpose of calling out the crews of the Naval Guard to the assistance of the inha bitants. Leaving the palace is a coach he was obliged to change his regular road, and mount a horse. Having been twice stopped by the water, the. Colonel had the good-fortune to meet a boar., into which he got with great difficulty. Nothing but the greatest diligence and fortitude then enabled him to execute the intentions. of his Majesty. It was six o'clock in the evening before he could get back to the Rm . peror. - 1e was then on foot 4 supported by a seaman, having been*several hours up to his middle in water... A Scotchman, who for trwagei walked against time in Cork,* was very much incommoded during his.at tempt by the rabble, who upbraided him for his reli gion, pelted him with dirt, and cried out, " have you your Bible at your back 7' The poor fellow bore the insults patiently, and won his wager. DuN7IIRMLINE.--The manufacturers of table-linen here have voluntarily raised the price of work lid. in 'the shilling, which will be very much felt throughout the town. The trade has been very brisk for the last six.months, and a great number of looms are unem ployed for want of hands. RELICS ON RICHARD lll.—The oak bedstead which RICHARD the Third took with him, when he went to the famous battle of Bosworth, is now in the possession of Mr. RABINOTON, at Rothley Temple, Leicestershire. It is very ponderous, and, without being suspected; it was filled with pieces of gold. One hundred and twenty years afterwards, a servant at an inn sweeping under it, struck the bottom, and some gold coin fell out. She' mentioned the circumstance to her mistress, and some thousand pieces were found at the bottom, head, and hollow pillars. The mistress in consequence became rich ; and two of her servants murdered her in the night and carried off the gold ; but they were taken and executed. The stone coffin in which RICHARD was buried, was taken up about a century ago, and con verted into a horse-trough, at the White Horse Inn, and its broken relics were preserved by Mr. (now Sir Rrou- AVID) PHILLIPS, a bookseller, at Leicester, till they were destroyed by an accidental fire in 1795.—Mirror. Urson-Hata....-Yesterday an extraordinary investigation took place at this dim On Thursday night, Mr. Whitmee, a gentle.. man residing at No. 5, Wellington-terrace, Blackfriars-road, went to Covent-garden Theatre, with his wife and family, leaving in the boom two female servants, one of whom had been desired by her ellaisresi to go out with a message. While she was out a female Oltim to the home, and told the other servant that she who had seem out had been nearly murdered in the street, and was taken into a house. The servant instantly left the house, and went off with her informant, Ibis took her a considerable distance, and then save her the slip. On her return to the house she found her fellow servant at the door, no accident having happened to her, and on going in, they perceived that the house bad been entere d by the back door, and robbed, as it afterwards appeared, of bank notes and plate, to the amount of 5001. Mrs. Whitmee gave informa tion of the robbery at this Office, on Saturday, and mentioned her suspicion of a man and woman, in consequence of which the officers have been since on the aiert,and they found to their astonish. ment that Mrs. Whitmee, after bring at the office, had gone to the persons of whom she men tioned her suspicions, to let them know What shelled done; and had also gone to the two other persons, whom the officers believe to be the real thieves, to give them warn ing also, by which the plans of the officers for the di.covory of the property were defeated. The two persons first named by Mrs. IV. were this day brought np for examination, Mr. and Mrs. Whitmee, and the two servants, against whom there is not the slightest sus picion, being present, when an extraordinary scene took place. The male prisoner stated, that he kept a brothel, where Mrs. Whitmee was in the habit of meeting a man, whom the officers all knew to be a notorious thief; and that she bad desired him," when ever alady was wanttd to send for her." Mrs. Whitt nee admitted having met the thief at the prisoner's house, which she did, as she had some private business to transact with him about furniture, and did not wish to let him call at her house, as her husband was of a jealous turn. She positively denied having given directions to be sent for whenever a lady was wanted. tier husband, to whom the disclosure was evidently new, became convulsed with agony he struck his hand againstlis forehead several times, ejaculating, " Good GOD ! good lion ! Can this be the case?" The Magistrate lamented Ur. Whitmee's case—it was clear his wife had given no dd.: to the robbers, and frustrated the plans of the officers for ob taming proof against them. The prisouers, were them dismissed, and all the parties left the office. It was announced some time ago in the London Journals, that :the Edinburgh Club had decidedly lost the second game. The game ,is still undecided, although the issue i. no longer doubtful, and a few weeks will skew whrthla Gr nOt that announcement was premature.
