TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. 4 SlN—Allow me, through the medium of your 3411141 , to express my unqualified indig n at ion at the sh, - " b etel and unfeeling remarks which have lately ap 144red in the Courier, respecting the fall of Varna. a m not so unread in the public prints as to be sur- V's.edat th e ungenero us and narrow minded prejudices 40 41 1 could induce an Editor of a respectable, though .. i t very important vehicle Of public opinion, to n- ii . 4 nate, nay broadly to state, that the fall of Varna I les attrib uta bl e t o t r eachery. It is, perhaps, one of ° l e questions which does not admit of mathemati .;,,. demonstration, and on this supposition the e liror may think to shelter himself ; but there N ' ll 11 thing as circumstantial evidence, which often Zany elicits the truth in a Court of Justice, and I 1 illtri enge him to produce a single particular con atory of his opinion, or which can have a mo alt's weight with a rational and fair judging man. it to be found, Sir, in the ruinous and dilapidated 'ate of the fortress on its capture ? is it to be found 'the duration of the siege, the loss of the garriion, \l4 th e still greater loss of the besiegers ? But I tt here remark on the complacent, or rather tin ng manner in which all these details of disease ;CI slaughter have been dwelt upon, and even ex rated; while the courage, perseverance, and ':2t . iiiit endurance of toil and danger, exhibited on Zth sides during this protracted warfare, have Zen entirely lost sight of and unacknowledged. Zeither has the tribute of regret been paid'to the ' t , t l of so many brave warriors (whether by sickness t he Sword, it matters not), nor has the meed of 1."li g armies been accorded, where the coura g e of the con ies might have so justly claimed it. Xll th e comments of this, and of too many other of Public printi, have been dictated by a cold, cal 7iting, and, as I am willing to believe, erroneous 7 * of what may be the result of the conflict to lu s country, with reference to the balance of power Europe. am, I trust, enough of a John Bull to be quite i t "e to the peculiar interests and policy of Great Main ; but it is not necessary, in order to sustain character, I should hope, to deaden every feel ;tvg not strictly national; to be so engrossed with erY thing British, as not to rejoice at the success tt 01 7 warfare, except where British soldiers are We arriors ! Surely there has been e nou g h of mi at4l7 glory achieved by this country, if not to satisfy 4 ambition to gather more laurels, yet to pre- It any petty jealousy on our parts, when we rhold them gracing other brows, or won by other v,towess than our own. It is not required that tf 'l'm Bull should be so exclusive in his view; of In en and things as to shut his eyes and ears against 4 erY Rot immediately connected with his own thin I m i d? Let him solace himself with the reflection i: ° f ow great importance his island is in the map of 14 °Pe, nay even in that of the World. When he „.. tie `ubsiders its resources, its wealth, its power, its etn, its armies, but above all, its good faith and the Integrity of its Government, be may be allowed 'efeel a ll th e p r id e and independence of a genuine j e ve Bull; but let not his horn be exalted "Rive measure; let him not affect to despise and °v erlook the prancings of the mighty ones, when I i .1 4 exhibited in his own field and in his own cause. Confess myself so much a citizen of the world as to . . ' `*4l)le to rejoice where no glory ensues to Britain, provided no British interest is compromised. The t tsult of the campaign we have just witnessed, 'Ugurs well, I trust, for every country. It makes ' . At fearless (if I were not so before) of that grasping l ibbition which has been imputed to the Autocrat .bf all the Russias ; and I cannot help rejoicing at the salutary check which has been given to the Ot man power, especially with reference to the. poor °rgotten Greeks. If, i( in these degenerate days," t hey are no longer the men they were, the same ~ / l i onterical beings, whose deeds of noble daring, re . earsed by that celebrated and earliest, if not of tlistorians, yet of Poets, which continue to delight 4 nd instruct O F youth of England, as constituting e Subject of their earliest studies, and the founda tion sometimes of their future glory ; yet they are ati 4 meta of like pas.s.ions with ourselves, of like affec lions, and were once (let it never he forgotten) the ' l aost civilized of.mankind, the most noble, the most generous and the most warlike ; and they still inhabit a ! -41 tintry over which a sacred charM is thrown ; whence Is sued all the arts which} we !Itlini).lY aspire to, • b ut can never hope to emulate ; which adorn and b eautify, as at first they tended to humanize, every Part of the known world ; when, I say, we remem ber the debt of gratitude we owe this people, how of the grace, and beauty, and charm of life; i 1 11(' Ili we Penot rejoice if ti . te fall of yarna afford a Pe that theY may escape the gorge of the Barba rian, particularly if this same event should tend, as it is to be hoped it will, to the peace of all nations ? But I have too long digressed from the immediate purport of my letter, which was to rebut (feebly I own) the unfounded and wanton assertion, that it was Russian gold and not Russian valour which effected this most desirable object. I have:only one more argument to offer in favour of my view of the subject, which is the honour hitherto unsullied, the fame hitherto untarnished, which belong to him who commanded the Imperial Army. His Sove reign has done him equal justice, by the gratifying manner in which he has recorded his high military character, his skill in the art of war, his courage in danger, and his j udgment in counsel; his Royal Master was, in short, led to this selection of a Chief, by the knowledge he had of his experience in the arts of war; and I ask, confidently ask, if his choice has not been justified by the event? But what is more to my purpose, will it be insinuated that this va lorous, honourable, and high-minded Nobleman, would have listened in silence to the encomiums of his Sovereign, and received with complacency that sword inscribed with the noble deed, if he had been conscious that gold was the metal used, and not that metal which, in its rude state, constitutes the riches, and, in its wrought state, the defence of his country? If this Newspaper Editor should still persist in his assertion, I think he must himself possess no small portion of that other metal used in modern warfare. Not to treat lightly, however, a subject deserving of serious discussion, I by no means impute a malig nant motive to the Editor of the Courier; but I do believe him to be influenced by that party spirit, that narrow-minded, bigotted principle, which, in advo cating the cause it espouses, is deaf to every remon strance, though founded in equity and in truth. It is the same lying spirit that would have us believe there exists no real Protestant who has not enrolled himself in a Brunswick Club ; and no favourer of the Roman Catholic claims, who is not himself a Roman Catholic. Without entering into the ques tion of who is right and who is wrong, it must be apparent that both of these contending parties have played their cards very ill ; the Catholics with their factious, turbulent agitators on one side ; and the Brunswickers, with their puling, prating, scribbling lordlings on the other. Were there no objection to the latter but the corner-stone on which the Bruns wick Club-house has been raised, it would be suffi cient, one would imagine, to deter men from enter ing. Had it been from Westmoreland* or Port land, less of mischief might be apprehended. But, if I appreciate aright the firm, gallant, gifted per sonage, who now steers the vessel of the State, he will declare equally to both, " Non tali auxilio tempus eget ;" nor will he be diverted from his right onward course by the presumptuous dictation, or short-lived popularity, of either faction. As I would not impute malicious or mischievous motives to the Editor of the Courier, so am I free to con• fess that public men are open to public criticism; but when, alas, private character is assailed by the public press, when misrepresentations are ignorantly or willfully made, reckless of consequences—then, friend, as I am to a free press, I would have it controlled by the iron barrier of the law; for this is not liberty but licentiousness. I say this, not so much with reference to the regent musings of the Courier, as from certain pain ful recollections which (however discursive you may think me, Mr. Editor) these musings have re vived ; for a near connection of the Hero of Varna was, in more than one Daily Journal, most grossly slandered and misrepresented, by a heedless perver sion of facts; and he who was all benign, conside rate, and humane, was held up as persecuting the poor, the helpless, and the innocent ; whereas he had merely,,and that most reluctantly, prosecuted to conviction certain nightly depredators, who had wilfully, and repeatedly, after due warning, damaged and destroyed his various young plantations. Though his high character, and the general esteem in which be was held by all ranks in society, rendered the of f ensive statement as futile as it was unfounded, I kriow that it gave pain to his noble, generous, manly heart ; and a more noble, more generous, more manly heart never beat in human bosom ; that it has ceased to beat, thousands and thousands have cause to la ment; not only of those who in privacy benefited by his unostentatious bounty, but of those who had the opportunity of witnessing the uniform direction of his mind towards all that rectifies and exalts our fallen nature ! Trained himself to the profession of arms, having lived much in camps, and done good service to his country, both in a military and diplo matic character, devoid of all narrow and envious feelings, had he now lived, how would his noble breast have expanded in witnessing the success of the Russian armies, and in sharing the triumph of their commander. This expression of opinion lam aware is not called for, especially by one in my humble walk of life; but, nevertheless, it would have been hazarded sooner, to gratify my own mind, had it not been paralyzed as it were, with its own troubles and its own anxieties. This letter, Sir, has been much more extended than I contemplated, when I set pen to paper ; too much, I fear, for the patience of your readers. There will be no inconsistency, I trust, in concluding with the assertion that I am a friend of the poor Greeks, no enemy of the Turks, and, though an English gentleman, an admirer of Russian valour; allow me to add, Mr. Editor, that I am very much your's, Dover, Nov. IS. SURRIENSIS. * They have not been able to get up a Brunswick Club in Cumberland ; nor, what is better, in the great County of York. WINDSOR, Nov. 21.—Yesterday afternoon, on the arrival of the KING at the Royal Lodge, from the Castle, be was met by the Duke of WELLINGTON, who had a long audience of his AIAJESTY, and with whom he had the honour of dining. This day his MAJESTY signi fied his intention of again visiting the Castle. It is ex-• pected that his MAJEsTY will hold a Council on Monday, and receive the Recorder's Report. It is likewise said that his MAJESTY will not take up his residence at the Castle before Wednesday next. .His MAJESTY, after taking an airing in Windsor Park on Thursday afternoon, proceeded in his car riage and four, preceded by outriders, to Windsor Castle. His MAJESTY alighted at the principal entrance, where he was received by Sir FRED. WATSON. The um inspect ed a number of antique statues and busts, which had for merly been placed in the old Castle. A marble bust of the Duke of CUMBERLAND, executed by BEIINES, for which his Royal Highness sat last summer, had been brought that morning from London for his MAJESTY'S inspection by the artist, and was placed in the Castle. This bust re mains in the possession of his MA4Fsw. The Kum in spected the state of the preparations making for his recep tion, and, after remaining at the Castle about an hour, re turned to the Royal Lodge. The AmericaN 'Minister transacted business yesterday with the earl of ABERDEEN, at the Office of the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs. A Board of the Lords of the Admiralty was held yesterday at the Admiralty. Mr. JOHN MARSHALL, the second son of JOHN MA RSHALL , Esq., 111.P.,.P., for tkis enucq, is, about to lead to th e hymeneal altar the beautiful and acootrippilhed claliglittz of ofl?avenlay-ball, Cumberland. —. Leeds inielligencen INTERVIEW with the LORD LIEUTENANT. (From the Dublin Morning Register of Thursday.) Transactions have occurred in Clare and Mona ghan which have demanded more than commonly the attention of the head of the Government of Ireland. Mr. O'Connell, as the chosen representa tive for Clare, and as a public individual, executing. confidentially, the commands of the aggrieved par ties in Monaghan, requested, last week, through the ordinary channel, an interview with the Lord Lieutenant. He had, in answer, the notification of Lord Leveson Gower, that the Marquis of Anglesea would grant him an audience yesterday at the Lodge in the Phoenix Park. He was in at tendance at the hour appointed (four o'clock) and was received with the courtesy which it has been the care of Lord Anglesea to observe towards public men of consideration of all parties since he came to this country. The Clare case is a very pe. culiar one. An individual, holding the office of High Sheriff, and, therefor., a judicial functionary, or, at all events, a person assisting in the adminis tration of the law, thought proper to commit, in a peaceable town, an act notoriously repugnant to the public sentiment, and which was calculated to lead to a breach of the peace, and called out the whole military and police force of the county, to aid him in doing this wrong, and offering this public insult. The inhabitants agreed upon a ( memorial to the head of the Executive. Mr. O'Connell was the bearer of the document, and we have the satisfaction to state, that the Lord Lieutenant received it with a due impression of its importance, and the attention which it merits, in the existing state of Ireland. The Monaghan case has been more publicly can vassed, and is, thereforej better known to our readers in general. Certain Magistrates, including men of high name and station, have been guilty of acts, which, if they were sanctioned, would lead to a dissolution of society in this country, and produce a practical tyranny far exceeding anything we have heard, of the most ferocious and disgusting despot ism of Algiers, or any other spot of the globe, in which infuriated passion prevails over every dictate of common humanity and common justice. Mr. O'Connell had the great satisfaction to learn that all the facts connected with the recent proceedings of Monaghan are fully within the cognizance of the Irish Government, and that they are at present matter of deep and anxious deliberation with the Law Officers of the Crown. The people of whom Mr. O'Connell is so truly the representative, want nothing but plain justice. They look only to the protection of the law. If wrong, they will be submissive; if right, they de sire no noisy or ostentatious triumph over those placed in unnatural hostility to them by unwise and unnatural laws. Nothing has yet occurred, or, we are assured, can occur, to shake their confidence in the dignified and scrupulous impartiality of Lord Anglesea. He enjoys their most unbounded reve rence and affection, not because they fancy that he looks with favour upon their actions, but because they are assured that he wishes to hold the balance evenly between contending parties, and to secure, at all events, and under any circumstances, the per manent interests of Ireland. THE ARMY. (From the Limerick Evening Post of Tuesday.) On Saturday, GO of the 12th Regiment, under Captain Bradfute, arrived in Limerick, from the Depot at Boyle, to embark at Cove for Gibraltar. Every Army Medical Officer at Plymouth has been ordered out to Gibraltar. The only Medical person remaining at Plymouth, is Dr. Dempster of the 94th, (late of Nenagh, a Magistrate of the County Tipperary,) and he has just received the temporary rank of Principal Medical Officer in that district. Major-General Sir Edward Blakeney is at present on a tour inspecting the Regiments at Templemore, Roscrea, Cashel, Tipperary, Clonmel, &c. One hundred of the 77th Regiment, with Captain Raines,,Lieutenants Butler, Atkin, Galway, and Nixon, are waiting at Spike-Island the arrival of a vessel to convey them to head-quarters, Jamaica. The Depot of the 22d Regiment, 300 strong, arrived en Monday at Tralee. The transfer of the Depots of the 30th and 47th Regiments to the Isle of Wight, is preparatory to the arrival of the Service Companies of both from Madras and Bengal, which are daily expected. Lieutenant-Colonel Hugh Lumley, Royal African Colonial Corps, Lieutenant-Governor of that Colony, died at Sierra Leone, the 2d of August. His death is much regretted in this country. The East India Company's ship Dunira left Bombay for China the 11th July. The Duchess of Atholl was expected to follow about the 28th of that month. The following is an extract from a letter, dated Vienna The bears in the forests of the Principalities, doubtless disturbed by the tumult of war in numerous lands, have made many incursions into our eastern pro vinces. They have penetrated by the Czikes Stuhl from Moldavia into Transylvania, and have done considerable damage.' A great number of other beasts of prey, and especially wolves, have accompanied them in their excur sions."—French Paper. The latest accounts from Portugal represent that country as continuing in the most miserable and de graded condition imaginable. Arrests, imprisonments. and confiscation, are now so usual as scarcely to be won dered at. In the case of Mr. GARDING, master of the brig Ringdove, of Newcastle, which returned here on Sunday, from Oporto, we have an additional proof of the jealousy and tyranny of the usurper's Government. Mr. GARD-. ING took out from hence a great number of letters from the Portuguese refugees ; and instead of putting them into the Post-office, gave them to some persons belonging to the house of Noma; at Oporto, who sent them to the parties to whom they were addressed. The creatures of Ma [TEL having discovered this circumstance, employed the police to seek out Mr. GARDING ; but information having reached him, he left the port in haste, with ballast, and only three pieces of beef on board, and arrived here after a passage of II days, himself and crew almost exhausted for want of food. -Had he not been so quick in taking his departure, he has no doubt that he would have been imprisoned, if not put to death.—Plymouth Journal. On Thursday last, just as the Magdalene steamer had got under weigh from Dundalk. Quay, the boiler burst, by which accident 48 pigs, chiefly the pro perty of poor jobbers, were so dreadfully scalded, as to re quire their being killed. One person only, whose duty it was.to attend the fire, was injured. —Drogheda Journal. DOVER, Nov. 20.—Arrived his MAJESTY'S steam-packet the Crusader, Captain HAMILTON, from Calais, with a number of passengers, amongst whom were Lord BINGHAM, and the Marquis de LAVALETTE. These noblemen, after dining at Wiucwr's Hotel, set off for London. The above packet left this harbour yesterday morning with the mail, tour carriages, Lord and Lady SOUTHWELL, Mr: RoTriscnii.o, and a number of other passengers, and upon arriving in Calais harbour it was found that she bad been just under two hours and ten minutes, being the quickest voyage from Dover to France ever known to have been performed—it blew a strong breeze at north-west, and the packet in entering Calais harbour encountered a tremendous sea, which dashed in 17 of the cabin panes, and, notwithstanding her dead lights were up, the force of the sea drove large quantities of glass and water into the cabin, but no other injury was sustained. Sailed his Majesty's packet the Salamander, Captain KING, with the mail and passengers, for Calais. TORRINGTON.--O n Saturday night last, about nine o'clock, a farmer in the neighbourhood of Tor rington, bearing an ttnnsual rustling noise in an elm-tree near his door, was induced to examine the cause, and dis covered a non who had climbed about fourteen feet from the ground. What art zeeking voor there then?" quoth the honest farmer. " God bless you, Zir," was the answer, " I have missed my road." On descending, the farmer discovered in the wanderer the person of his day labourer. It appeared the sight of a fine turkey roosting in the tree had induced the man to stray from the road to g his home, and from the path of honesty. The master made his toe p a y several visits t o th e b reec h o f t h e ° ender, and dismissed him, under a promise to, keep, the road of rectitude in future.—Nort4 "'CM, Journal, 04 the night 91 Monday or morning of Tues day last, the residence of PATON, Esq., in Gower street, Bedford. square, was burglariously entered lay thieves, who succ ee d e d i n car rying off, - without detection, plate and other property of between 2001, and 8004 in value. LITERATURE. LETTERS FROM THE WEST.—Lortnort, IS2S. The great object of the Hon. Judge Hall in these Letters, which are descriptive of the Western parts of the United States of America, is to be delightfully facetious an d piqu a nt in his remarks. He is, however, very unfortunate in this respect. His humour is the most serious portion of his volume, and when directed, a it too frequently is, against what he is pleased to call the mis-statements of English travellers, in jures no one but himself. Next to his attempt at smartness is his rage for description, which is of a less equivocal character. But even here he is guilty of singular absurdities. He gives a flaming account of the picturesque beauty of the new town of Pittsburgh, on the banks of the Ohio, such as would at first sight lead the reader to conclude that he viewed with a poet's and a painter's eye the varied charms of nature and art ; yet when he comes to more minute particu lars, he is forced to admit—having previously in formed us " Pittsburgh and its vicinity may proudly challenge comparison in beauty of scenery and healthfulness of situation"—that its chief beauty of scenery is composed of a huge un couth coal-pit ; and its healthfulness of situation, of a large proportion of sulphur perpetually ex haling from that Avernus. "But the prospect which the good people of Pittsburgh consider as most lovely 'to soul and to eye,' is to be found on the northern face of Coal-hill. The yawning caverns, which here display their hideous mouths, would have been celebrated among the ancients as the abodes of unpropitious deities ; the less classical citizens have peopled them with spirits of sterner stuff—have made them mines of inex haustible wealth, and drawn from them the materials of substantial comfort. Not only this hill, but the whole of the surrounding country, is full of coal of excellent quality, which is found in immense strata, lying almost in variably upon one and the same level. It contains a large proportion of sulphur, and is hard, heavy, and of a deep shining black colour; it is easily ignited, and produces an intense heat ; but is very dirty, emits immense volumes of smoke, and throws up an unusual quantity of cinders and dust. These latter fill the atmosphere, and are continually falling in showers, to the great terror of strangers and so journers, and with manifest injury to the dresses of the la dies, and the white hands of eastern gentlemen. From this cause, every thing in Pittsburgh wears a sombre hue ; even the snow as it falls brings with it particles of cinder, and loses its purity by the connexion. But the people are now so used to the black and midnight appearance of ob jects in their city, as scarcely to be aware of its inconve nience; so that I once heard a lady exclaim, on witnessing a snow storm out of town, 'La! what white snow !' " These, it must be confessed, are very Ameri can notions of the sublime and beautiful. Pitts burgh, in fact, is neither more nor less than a Transatlantic Brentford. On quitting this pic turesque city, which but half a century ago was an immense wilderness, our traveller proceeds up the Ohio, towards Shawnee Town, and in dulgss us with some very agreeable details of the mode of journeying, and of the scenery with which he from time to time falls in. In these cursory descriptions there is much to amuse and instruct : and were it not for the aninius with which every thing English is alluded to, they would be unexceptionable. The following ac count of a raft which Mr. Hall met while journeying towards the Falls of the Ohio is characteristic, and may remind the reader of a similar description respecting the Rhine naviga tion, in Dr. Granville's late Travels to St. Petersburgh : " To-day we passed two large rafts lashed together, by which simple conveyance several families from New Eng land were transporting themselves and their property to the land of promise in the western woods. Each raft was SO or 90 feet long, with a small house erected on it; and on each was a stack of hay, round which several horses and cows were feeding, while the paraphernalia of a farm-yard, the ploughs, waggons, pigs, children, and poultry, carelessly distributed, gave to the whole more the appearance of a permanent residence, than of a caravan of adventurers seeking a home. A respectable-looking old lady, with spectacles on nose; was seated on a chair, at the door of one of the cabins, employed in knitting ; another female was at the wash-tub; the men were chewing their tobacco with as much complacency as if they had been in ' the land of steady habits,' and the various family avocations seemed to go on like clock-work. In this manner these people travel at a slight expence. They bring their own provisions ; their raft floats with the current ; and honest Jonathan, surrounded with his scolding, grunting, squall ing, and neighing dependants, floats to the point proposed without leaving his own fire-side ; and on his arrival there, may step on shore with his house, and commence business, like a certain grave personage, who, on his marriage with a rich widow, said he had nothing to do but to walk in and hang up his hat.' " The remaining portions of the volume need little or no comment. They are chiefly made up of local description, interspersed here and there, with remarks which indicate more shrewd ness than good taste. They add little to our stock of information, though intended to be profound. Indeed the only amusing chapter in the book is that on popular superstitions, to which, accordingly, we would recommend our readers to restrict their attention. TRIALS OF LIFE.-LONDON, 1828. The very minute acquaintance with the female heart, more especially of its impassioned feelings, that pervades these volumes, leads us to con clude that they are the work of a female pen.— There is a strain of effeminacy throughout them—a lingering upon subjects where the sen timent is more to be admired than the judgment, that few male pens could have rendered even tolerable to the reader. But, mark the grace of the female mind, it lightly touches on almost interdicted subjects, and they lose their repul sive character. We do not go so far as to assert that the moral to be inferred from these agree able volumes is altogether to be deprecated, but that it is thrown rather too much in the shade, and does not (to borrow a phrase from the pallet) stand sufficiently out in the foreground. As far as regards character, the " Trials a Life" are in no respect deficient. There is, in fact, a rich ness of invention about them that betokens strong creative faculty. Mrs. iViontressor , i n the first (and by no means the best) tale, en titled " L or d A mes f or t' s F am ily," is a very prettily conceived sketch. As a specimen of the style—which, by the bye, is remarkably easy and fluent — we conscien ce - s t r i c k en w if e : give the following description uf A " If th e woun d e d f ee li ngs of Adolehtlll4leptuess or s t ung him to madness, or crus h e r despair, s h e who ha d shared in his wAttderims ‘vas scarce less deserving of con ; passion, Th e shock, the separation, the terror which her hnskand'a presence inspired her with, were too much for a mind fevered by passion and exhausted with grief. Some times she struggled against the. imbecile torpor that hung upon her ; sorne tiims sbe WOE retuge, leer mental and bodily weakness, from tb,esbup pangs of reflection ; some times she fbrgot the cause of her grief, and was conscious only of some indefinite, restless pain,—some vague, con fused notion of unexpiated guilt, which her mind was not clear enough to investigate, nor strong enough to Wbake. off By degrees her memory recovered its' power, her under standing its tone. She awoke, by a slow and painful pro cess, to the full knowledge of her situation ; and as soon as she could reason on any thing, or feel for any body but herself, her astonishment at her husband's conduct knew no bounds. She could not suppose he would forgive her, —that he could ever care for her : she looked upon the absence of her child as a punishment, and refrained from asking about him. " She wondered what could be Lord Amesfort's reason for saving her so anxiously from a grave, where alone she felt her shame and sorrows could be concealed. She some- time 3 thought he must have some refined plan of vengeance to be executed in time, and almost wished she might have some outward suffering as well as' the inward one that consumed her. In his presence, she felt like the malefac tor before his judges ; and the respite was harder to bear than could be the punishment ; yet, as her mind recovered its vigour, she lost the nervous dread that made her shrink from his very step as though it was the harbinger of death, and would gaze fearlessly on him, labouring to comprehend a gentleness so unnatural. His consistency puzzled her. He was neither stern nor affectionate ; but cold and vigi lant, as if he performed a task in watching over her, for which he was accountable to some one. They never re mained long any where ; and the carriage, in which she travelled alone with her maid, was arranged with the care and attention to her comfort necessary to an invalid." Our very circumscribed limits prevent us entering into detail on the subject of the plot of the different tales which make up the " Trials of Life :" we must, therefore, dismiss them with this brief comment, that to the lovers of senti ment and description, they will furnish a rich fund of amusement. DARING AND ATROCIOUS BURGLARY. Information was received at the public office, Bow-street, at an early hour on Thursday, of a dar ing burglary, committed under circumstances of pe culiar aggravation, which was perpetrated that morn ing at Grove Cottage, West Moulsey, the residence of Mr. Warrington, a gentleman of property. It appears that the thieves proceeded in the first in stance to the residence of a Mr. Jeffs, a Commis sioner of Hackney Coaches, whose premises imme diately join those in the occupation of Mr. Warring ton. From the stables of Mr. Jeffs they stole a quantity of corn, and here also they obtained a lad der which the gardener had been using the previous day, and with this ladder they proceeded to the house of Mr. Warrington at about two o'clock on Thursday morning. Having climbed the adjoining walls, without causing the slightest alarm, the thieves reared the ladder against a window on the first floor, which window opens on a passage immediately con necting with the bed-chamber occupied by Mr. and Mrs. Warrington. At the moment the thieves ef fected an entrance, Mrs. W. was engaged in writing letters in her bed-chamber, where Mr. W. was asleep in bed. Hearing a noise at the window, which had been secured when the family retired for the night, and the fastening of which the thieves con trived to force without breaking the glass, Mrs. War rington ran to the bed to alarm her husband, ex claiming, " Good God! there are thieves in the house !" Mr. Warrington immediately jumped out of bed, and snatching a loaded pistol from the chim ney-piece, he fired it at four men who at that mo ment forced in the bed-chamber-door. The shot, however, did not appear to take any effect, and the moment the pistol went off, Mr. Warrington heard one of the thieves exclaim " it, I did not think it had been loaded." At this moment another of the villains presented a pistol at Mr. Warrington's breast, which he snapped, and re-cocking it, snap ped it a second time, when, fortunately, the powder merely flashed in the pan. During this fearful interval, Mrs. Warrington was in a state of the most dreadful alarm, expecting every instant to see her husband fall at her feet a mangled corpse.— The four men, without uttering a syllable, proceeded to tie Mr. Warrington with a rope, which they had biought- with them, it is supposed, for the purpose, from the premises of Mr. Jeffs. They first tied the hands of Mr. Warrington, and then his feet, to which operation Mr. Warrington deemed it prudent to submit, perceiving the unequal numbers to which he was opposed. The robbers having in this man ner secured Mr. Warrington, proceeded to adopt the same measures with his lady, whom, notwithstand ing her prayers and entreaties, they also tied hand and foot. The villains then left the room for a short time while they proceeded to a bed-chamber occupied by two female servants, whom they also effectually tied, and having thus secured the only inmates of the house, the robbers carried them down upon their backs, one by one, and put them into a cold damp vault, without any other covering upon them than their night-clothes. The robbers then, to prevent the possibility of alarm, locked the door of the vault, and not even content with this, they secured another door O tt the head of the flight of steps, which led to the vault in question. How long Mr. and Mrs. Warrington, and their two ser• vants, continued prisoners in this cold and frightful dungeon, the state of their feelings prevented them from forming any accurate notion; but they sup pose that their confinement lasted for same hours, and might have continued for a much longer period if one of the servants had not fortunately been enabled, after considerable exertion, to free her hands from the cord with which they had been fastened. She then released her master, mistress, and fellow -servants, by whose united strength the door of the vault was forced open, as was also the other door, which the robbers had secured to cut off their escape. On reaching the interior of the house, they found every room completely ransacked, and that the thieves had carried off every thing port able upon which they could lay their hands. Above 301., besides several articles of plate and jewellery, were stolen from the premises. The robbers, it appears, having completely gutted the house, re paired to the stable, th e d o o r of w hich they forced open. A horse belonging to Mr. Warrington, va lued at seventy guineas, they took omit and placed under a phaeton which they found in the coach house, and thus provided drove off with their booty. Mr. Warrington and his family having in some de gree recovered from the state of alarm into which they had been thrown, proceeded to the neighbour.. ing houses for assistance, and despatched a messen gerto cloof:iseethoe:Pag.i.rinsetTripaahteel acgu t a o in C t oo bi k m e, w t i h th e t h l e le ad b c tl o r t g is la ta r b y le an a d t c K ir i e n u g m sto sta n n , care ces connected with it, Cooke lost no time in endea vouring to trace the route which the robbers had pursued, Having made diligent inquiries on the various roads adjacent, he succeeded in tracing a horse and phaeton by a circuitous and unfrequented route from the immediate neighboarh,ood of Mr. : t i o dlfferent by-roads, which a plum called Walton bridge,ga n t odn from' s thence b were evidently taker,. to elude pursuit, to Knigl i tts. bridge, where, at an early hour in the r4orning, the horse vas found grazing on the voc,d. side, harnessed of by some to the phaeton, which way quite deserted.

Bishop s oon after received,iwtxnet,i9,2 tea . join Ellis, and it is hoped, that the united exertic,ns of these - officers w - A Ti, lead, to the speedy detection of the burglars. Zt appears that on Wednc3day evening four men,, ail of whom were strangers, were seen at West Moulsey. They were respectably dressed, and from their in quiries at the neighbouring public-houses some sus picions were excited. Their inquiries, it appears, were particularly directed to the several gentlemen's houses in the neighbourhood. They asked the names of the proprietors, and made minute inquiries as to their supposed wealth, the situation of the houses, number of servants, &c. A circumstance of rather an extraordinary nature, which may, per haps, assist the inquiries of the officers as to the ac tual perpetrators, was stated by Mr. Warrington.— It has always been his custom, it appears, to keep loaded fire-arms in his bed-chamber. The pistol which he snatched from the chimney piece, at the moment the robbers entered the room, contained, as h e suppose d, two b u ll e t s , an d hi s surprise wa s great on finding that the shot had 'not taken any effect. O n searc hi ng t h e room on th e following morning, to his still further surprise, he found two bullets on the floor, neither of which was in the slightest degree flattened, nor was there any . mark whatever of a - perforation i n th e wa ll s o f th e apartment, a diligent search ha v i ng b een ma d e to ascertain that fact. The exclamation of one of the thieves, when Mr. Warrington discharged his pistol (which, by the way, were the only words the. thieves uttered whilst in the presence of Mr. War rington, his wife, or servants), appears to strengthen the belief that at least one of the thieves was ac quainted with the premises; and, to use the term applied to cases of this description, the officers are of opinion that it has been " a put-up-robbery," and that some persons about the premises had been in strumental in effecting it, and dropped the balls upon the floor of the room, keying previously drawn them from the pistol. Mr. Warrington had very recently received a very considerable sum of money in rents and Bank of England dividends. This Money, I it is supposed, was the object of the robbers ; but fortunately Mr. Warrington had previously lodged it in town; and so far, at least, the thieves were disap pointed of their booty. The property, however, which they carried away was considerable. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. HUNTING INTELLIGENCE. APPOINTMENTs FOR THE ENSUING WEEK.

LIVERPOOL, Nov. 20.—Our Cotton Market • hag been dull again today, and the sales amount to only 1,200 bags, w ith ou t c h ange i n pr i ces . , l TRADE AT HUDDERSFIELD.--00111e anxiety has prevailed in Huddersfield and the neighbourhood, f rom the circumstance of Mr. Wm. NORTON, of Clayt on, near that place, having suspended payment. He was a very , considerable manufacturer of fancy waistco a ti ngs, &c. and is said to have employed '7OO hands. He sent all th e work men off the premises, and locked up hi s mills, on Friday morning last, informing the men that t h ey m i g h t return in ten days. Whether he will be able to carry on the business again so soon, or at all, remains to be seen, and, o f cours e, it would be improper to express any opinion on. the subject. Complaints of the flatness of trade in Ilud.-. dersfield are very general, and many are very gloomy ice their forebodings, but we should hope that it is not murh. duller than it might be expected at this season of the.year, —.404 kitelligencer.
