it'P'"Ril i __ ~,, ME I. NCITOLV EVENT.—The tranquillity of a family nc tes:ie,.tability, near Manchester-square, a few days experienced interruption by an attempt of me of 1. iientliers to put an end to her existence, and by the aaililen disappearance ofanother, a young gentleman. The young lady is a native of Litwoloshire, where her fa ther was nn opulent landholder.—About eight years ago she had the mi fortette to lose both her parents within a few weeks of each other: she was then 13 years of age, and her aunt, u widow lady, took her to her house. The only son of her aunt at that time re turned from Ireland, and an uttachment was soon per ceptible between them. This was sanctioned by the mother, and they were abt'ut to be united, when the match was broken off by an uncle of the young gen tleman, from whom he had considerable expectations. The intended bridegroom, almost distracted. purchased a commission in the army, and remained abroad until after the battle of Waterloo. His attachment conti nued, and they only waited for some favourable event to bring about their union. Tie uncle, however, continued inexorable; but thin obstacle was about three months ago removed by his death. By this - mat considerable property devolved to the young gen tleman, and his marriage watt to - take place at as early a period as decency would permit. This however, was suddenly stopped by the young gentleman himself, who, to his mother declared that circumstances had ariaan which rendered a marriage with his cousin ut terly impoesible ; but the urgent entreaties of his mother failed to draw from him the cause of this extraordinary change. lie could only say, that such a change had acteallv taken place; and &tired that his cousin alight be made acquainted with it. His mother disclosed this in the most cautious manner • but it had such an efreat upon her niece, as for sc.er al hours to deprive her of sense. She continued in a desponding state until Fri day week, when the aunt, fearing, from the length of time her niece remained absent, that she was worse, proceeded to her room, and found her suspended from one of the bed posts. Harrowed as her feelings were she had firmness sufficient to catch her niece in her arms, and hold her up until her cries brought others into the romn, and the young lady was cut down, and, by mea. dical aid, animat was restored. The unfiirtnnate girl has, however, since continued in a state the most melancholy. On Monday last a letter was received by the twopenny post from the young gentleman, express ing the deepest regret for the distress of which he had been the cause. Ile concluded by stating his deter mination to quit the country for ever. Antigements bad been made with the persons in whose hands the greatest part of his property is invested, for n regular remittance ()leash to a house at Paris. This informa tion, it is hoped, will lead to a diseovere• of his retreat and be the means of restoring him to his distracted parent and sisters. Jests FaTeus.—The late Mr. Henderson, the cele brated actor, used to assert the following to be a fact, and in it he wai confirmed by his brother. When his brother WAS ten, and he was not wore than eight years of -age, their well-being depended upon the life of their mother. She was afflicted with a violent nervous dis order, which had sunk her into u deep melancholy. stafering under this, she one morning left her house and children at Newport Pagnell, who Waited her return with impatience. Night approached, but their 'parent did not return. Full of terror, the two boys went in search of her. Ignorant what course to take, they wandered until midnight, Aunt the places where she used to walk, but without success. They then agreed to return home, but neither of them knew the way. Fatigued, alarmed, distressed, they sat down on a bank to weep, when they ob.:erved at some diF tame a luminous appearance, and, supposing it a candle in some friendly habitation, hastily directed towards it. As they moved, the light moved also, and glided from field to field, fur a considerable time. At length it:seemed fixed, and on their approach, vanished on the side of a large piece of water. On the margin, they found their mother in a state, front which site was roused by the presence and tears of her children. Waterloo-place is finished, and the houses almost all let. That on the western angle, nearly destroyed by fire many mouths ago, is now in a habitable condition ; thev till!. of devoting it to a Parliamentary club. The Military club-house is complete in all its exterior ar rangenients : the great room will be sixty fort in length. The beautiful pile oprosite, to he calked W i tte reteg-hotel, is nearly finished. Every house and tenement in St. James's Market will shortly disaileJar. Only titer :muses remain between Pall ,Mull and Picca dilly. The subterranean passages underneath the mar ket are all removed, and the paviours are filling up and paving the great street. The foot-path to Jertnyn Street is finished. The only shop which statels in the whole district, is the one occupied by Leader, the butcher. Report states that the Military club-house will be ready fin. (menhi r ,- in April. The new market A.ctries a very confined space. with I Ito outlets into laymarkat.
