The plaintiff and his wife were mat rind in 1802, and tip to the year 1813 lived in the island in a snite of perfect comiubial happiness and affection. One son and three daughters were the fruits of their union. The plaintiff, during his residence at Berhice, had unfortunately entered late a speculation with a gentle man name • Robinson, which failed; and in the year 1315 he returned with his wife to England. The defendant, who had previously been on toms of close intimacy' with the plaintiff, %vas now selected as 1113 ;nest sacred • friend, and it was de termined upon that he should undo take the management of the property which the phi intiff had left behind. Such were the eh enmstances of embarrasinents in whi^lh the plaintiff was placed on his arrival in this kingdom, that while he en deavoured to procure a aituation in which lie might repair his forme, his wife went on a visit to Scotland. Soon after her absence he determined upon a voyage to India. Just, how ever, as he was about to sail, some of the difficulties under which he laboured overtook him, and he was arrested. His %sift., who had already manifested the utmost ralleelli and affection for him'in his tioubles, heard of the latter circum stance, and without delay dew from Scotland to Join 11i114 in his disappointments.

Ilastide. perceiving that his countenance grew pale, and that his hand faltered, seized himself the knife, exclaiming.— • 'Firms ! ta etc saes pas tuer, briar tai luaiievcr. You know not how to slaughter, let me finish him." Jail:dim, horror-stnick at his own crime, fled from the house and regained his abode, where his wife was expecting him to supper. All his efihrts to assume apparent tranquility were unavailing; he ate nothing, nor replied to the qm'e tiwls to him. About an hour afterwards a knocking was heard at the door; he went himself and empiired who was there? he was answered,' Fualdus' ; and under the intivenee of terror, he opened the door. and caw Missionner. and :mother. • You have lett the work undone, but it is too late to retraet ; if you refuse sharing our perils, we shall deposit the body of Fualdes at your doer to dispose of as you may judge best.'

In. the mean time Jausion was in the kitchen, in the midst of the assassins, and Nladame Manson was just discovered, and dragged into the room from the cabinet she had bean hid in. Ilastide was furiously urging her mur der. when Madame Jausion knocked loudly at the door, calling out Veynac, her husband's Christian name. Jansion recognized her voioe. and Bastide was fn. refusing her admission, but Jausion de clared he knew her character so well, that if the door was not opened, she would reuse the whole sticet. On thus representation she was let in, in the view of conducting her to an adjoining closet, andpacity ing her by her husband's exertions; but she instantly precipitated herself into the chamber, where she heard voices : and you may judge of her dismay, when she found herself in presence-of a grump of as. mains, oldie corpse fresh murdered on the table, of her husband and Bastille struggling with each other fur Madame 'm anson. who was lying sensele:s on the ground, with her pantaloons crimsoned with the blood coller-ed in the pail."
