THE LONDON JOURNALS. DAILY Extracts from the Morning Papers, June 5. [BnITISPI PRESS.] The Brazilian Loan has certainly been ar ranged—the contract for it has been completed —and the City Member, Mr. Wilson, is one of the contractors. Mr. Rothschild has been named as the principal negotiator, but, we believe, without any authority. The details of the Loan base not yet transpired ; but there is no doubt that the contract has been completed. Policies were opened already at Lloyd's, on specie to the amount of a million, to be shipped from the Bank of England, on hoard of the tiparrowhawk sloop of war or other vessels, from Portsmouth to Rio Janeiro. The premium of insurance, from the period of quitting the Bank of England till land ed at Rio Janeiro, taking all risks, was as low as lOs. Gd. per cent. The specie was getting ready at the Bank, and the shipment was to be made immediately. There is now scarce a country, eithpr in Europe or America with which a Loan bas not been. entered into by British capitalists. awhile peace continues all may be fair and well ; but on a war breaking out, these Loans must rest, we fear, on a most uncertain security. [NEW TIMES.] Yesterday afternoon a considerable sensation was pioduced in the City, by a variety of reports, which were said to have been received from Pa ris—it was at one time asserted that the King of France was alarmingly ill, if not dead; but ano ther report was more generally credited, that the Law for the reduction of the Rentes had been withdrawn by the French Ministry, in conse quence of the small majority obtained in the divi •sion upon M. Roy's amendment ; this was listen ed to with some degree of belief from the details of the debate in the Etoile, on which it is known the French Funds advanced one per cent. on Wednesday evening. We learn from the first sources, that no actual relinquishment of the plan had been contemplated up to Wednesday night ; and no details of the proceedings on Thursday in the Chamber of Peers could be known. Consols were however lower; they had been done in the forenoon at 95t ; they after wards declined to 95, and closed at 9581 for the Account. The Foreign Securities did not yes terday experience any important fluctuation.— Ylex:can and Colombian Scrip still continues at a discount of from to t per cent. The Euro .pean Securities experienced an improvement.— Amongst the shares of the New Companies there has taken place little or no alteration : Alliance 14t, Equitable I prem. [MORNING POST.] Accounts reached the City yesterday afternoon of the arrival of the Dove packet from .Tamaica, which place she left on the 20th April. The letters by this conveyance state that the Patriot cause in Peru was not prospering so well as the friends of the independent cause could wish.— The Spaniards appear by these accounts to be in considerable strength, and fears are entertained for the safety of the capital. We ulmounced yesterday the arrival of the Doke of Kent packet from Lisbon. The Gazettes Which it brought have since reached town. They are chiefly filled with the Protests of the Foreign Ambassadors in Portugal against the illegal and injurious proceedings adopted by the rebel Prince daring his short usurpation of the Royal power. These documents are rather of an old date, as they could not be published as long as the Infant retained the Sovereign authority his hands. We are sorry to see it hinted in a Circtilar issued from the Palace of Bemposta on the 22d ult. that the King had no disposition whatever to do any thing in the present crisis, in favour of Constitutional liberty.—(lbid.) [THE TIMES, Th 4. Catholic Association, through its leading members, is on the point, it appears, of openly quarrelling with Mr. Plunkett. The ground of dispute is not the declaration of the Right Hon. Gentleman in opposing Mr. Brownlow's motion cin Friday -last—that the " Catholic Association rqquired watching ;" which, indeed, may - be true enough, but which could not have reached Dub lin in time for the Monday's papers; —no, is a letter of Mr. Plunkett's to Mr. Conway, de cJining to open any correspondence with the Ca tholic Association, or with Mr. Conway, or any other person, as acting in its name. The chiefs of this Association had already written, through the same Mr. Conway, a remonstrance to Mr. Plunkett, on his refusal to open the Catholic question during the present session. We have all along expressed our decided opinion, that the Catholic cause has owed its most.serious injuries—the alienation of its friends, and pro crastination of its prospects—t o the imprudence or duplicity of some individual Catholics. The Catholic Body have no right t o suspect ; and the Body at large do not suspect, that Mr. Plunkett is sincere in his desire to promote their emattri. patio!). No man in England, who understands the course or bias of public sentiment here, has a shadow of doubt that the refusal of the Irish Attorney-General. to importune the Parliament - with the Catholic question hi the actual posture of affairs, was on his part an exercise of sound discretion ; for that any motion in favour of the Catholics would - have experienced an irresistible' opposition—would have suffered a signal o . ver. throw, -and would thus have formed an addit lo P a l . prcedent for future majorities against that import ant measure. Mr. Plunkett judging w isely there fore in his delay,,, the Catholic l e ad6rs judged' falsely in their attempted precipitation ; or if, us is more probable, they feigned only to he ignorant of that which is notorious on this side of the`water —that the anti-Catholic spi r it h as gath ere d ne w strength since last year, and that it would have been therefore a marl provocation of their cue-, tnies to force the subject into discussion—it only serves to confirm our former suspicion, that t h e agitators of the Catholics frame all their policy with a view to the defeat of the measure which they profess to advocate, and consider an acknowledged grievance more conducive to their personal importance by being prolonged and de claimed upon than it would be if redressed and forgotten. The Irish Attorney. General would have been infatuated to recognize a body like the Association, which just eludes the penal clauses of an Act of Parliament, but which is in spirit, and to all practical purposes, an assembly repre senting large multitudes of men the most prone to excitement, the most desperate and lawless among the subjects of the British monarchy. [MORNING CHRONICLE.] ' We have received the Paris Papers of Wed nesday, and the Eloile of Thursday. The latter • contains an account of the proceedings in the Chamber of Peers, on the 2d instant, with respect to the new Finance Law. After some discussion it was decided that the sense of the Chamber should be successively taken on each of the amendments, proposed by M. Roy. On a divi sion, on the first amendment, the numbers were, 112 for it, and 114 against it, so that the French Ministry have had a very narrow escape. Some ridi culous intelligence is given in the same Paper from Mexico, of the 20th Feb. of a date, long subsequent to which the most satisfactory accounts have been received in this country.—The controversy be tween Mr. Baring and M. Sartorius i 8 beginning to assume a very unpleasant shape. In a letter, addressed to the Journal des Djbats, dated the! 28th May, Mr. Baring had stated, " M. Sarto rius frequently spoke to me on the subject of his project during the Debates of the Chamber - of Deputies ; I rejected it, because it always ap peared to me that for the public simplicity in plans, in which numerous interests are concerned, is particularly necessary, and that in this respect the Ministerial project was quite free from objec tion. When the law reached the Chamberof Peers, M. Sartorius produced his plan to me, assuring me that its adoption would obviate the principal ob jections which the Law would have to encounter in that Chamber. This assertion led me to exa mine it with more attention, inf(' it is very true, that after some changes of considerable import ance, I told him, that as Contracting Banker, I had no objection to offer to its adoption, and that I should eve❑ consider it as likely to add to the profit of the Company ; I added, however, that this plan appeared to me of a character by no means worthy of a great GovernMent, and that the favour that it seemed to offer to a class of annuitants did not justify, in my eyes, the emission of 800 Imillions of values purely fictitious (pureinent de ,y'etc), and which, by complexity of operation, would, for five years, keep up jobbing to a very ' high degree.—lt was my duty to submit to his Excellency the Minister of Finances, the same considerations which I had presented to M. Sar torius himself, and we see that they were not of a nature to meet his approbation."—To this state went of Mr. Baring, M. Sartorius gives in the Courier Francais, of Wednesday last, a flat con tradiction. [MORNING IJERALD.] Wednesday's Paris Papers arrived last night. The Journal des DAals contains an article, dated Zante, May 1, which, if true, is of the utmost moment. to the deliverance of Greece. It ex hibits at the same time, in a singular manner, the clumsy atrocity of the Turkish Government.— It may be observed, that, for some time, Greece was menaced with a tremendous expedition, to be commanded, by the Viceroy of Egypt.— The command, was declined by Mahomed Ali, who caused it to be accepted by his son. But the Porte was much more intent upon the . ruin of the Viceroy than on the sub jugation of the Greeks, and- the expedition a mere pretence to destroy .him. At - a moment when 4000 foot, 2000 horse, 100 pieces of can non, and 3000 camels, were about to proceed down the Nile, a fire broke out in the arsenal of Cairo, spread terrific desolation, and all the above-mentioned part of the expedition—men, horses, cannon, and camels, with the excel). don of a few guns, were • destroyed. Moha med was thunderstruck at this explosion, and had difficulty in saving his life. - - The chi e f author of the conspiracy was named Ibrahim Bey, formerly a Mameluke. He proceeded upon Cairo, and was supposed to h ave oc cupied it. The V.iceroy, however, it was thought, would regain his ascendancy, and declare him self wholly independent of the Porte. Thus has terminated, if the article we allude to may be re lied on, the last resource of the Turks against the Greeks. Some doubts may be entertained of the correctness of the account, which evidently favours the Greeks in other parts. In the Morea peace is restored, and Colocotroni about to be brought to trial. There are no important accounts from Spain or Portugal. The Journal des pawls - labours strenuously to prove- that • the French vessels, arrived at Lisbon from Cadiz, with a view to proteCt the King of Portugal from his son, had no troops on' board ; which would, it observes, he contrary to the faith of treaties. A strange party phenomenon has occurred at Paris. A Royalist Count, having some idle time, set up a new journal, called the Aristarque, and treated the Royalism, the Ministry, as shuffling and pusillani mous. The latter turned round upon the journal, and caused its suppression. The responsible editor appealed, and the affair is yet undecided.—A short notice from Madrid, of the 26jh ult., states that the amnesty is highly beneficial, and that most of those compromised in the exceptions were out of the gracious reach of King► Ferdinand. There are long speeches spoken in both Chambers ; but the subjects have no interest for foreign readers. The Rev. Dr. DUNBAR has, by a , series of ex- periments in Scotland, ascertained, that when a Queen 'Bee is wanting . for a hive, her Majesty can be and is produced . from the egg of a work= ing bee. Inoue experiment, having re►noved the Queen, the bees set about constructing royal cells, and, placing common larva,- iu them ; in seven days two Queens were' formed. One of these killed the other, and though While in a virgin, state, treated with no distinction whatever, shell() sooner began to lay, than she be - came the object of constant solicitud e and respect, to crowds of . her admiring subjects, who Watched, fed, and waited upon her. CORONERS' INQUESTS. RIGHT of PUBLICANS to RECEIVE DEAD BODIES. At eight o'clock on Tuesday evening, an In quest was held before THOMAS STERLING, Esq. at the Queen's Head, Lower Road, Islington, on the body of a female, name unknown, who was found drowned in the Regent's Canal. On a verdict to that effect being returned, one of the Jury rose, and said he was deputed by several of the Jurors to ask the Coroner whether the owner or holder of a public-house, next the place where the body of a dead person was found, was compelled to receive the same until the Inquest was held ? Mr. STIRLING was unwilling to answer the question; but, upon being pressed, he said a publican could not be compelled to receive the corpse of a suicide, a casualty, a murdered person, or way laid traveller, into his house. But if a quarrel occurred in the house and ended fatally, then he was bound to keep the body until an Inquest was held. Bodies, to be owned, should be placed in the nearest church or church vault; but a publican refusing to receive the dead body, is liable to lose his license, the whole of his conduct being under the controul of the Magistracy, who have such power in very gross cases ; and it was a question yet to be decided, whether the act of refusing to receive the dead body would not be defeating the ends of justice, and thereby subject the publican to punishment in many ways. Publicans generally imagined that they were bound to re ceive dead bodies, and with a view of being relieved from that unpleasant task, they put the question to the Coroner. It is imagined they receive some benefit on having an inquest holden at their house ; but we are informed, that the present is not the only instance where publicans have had cause to complain on such occasions. Yesterday an Inquest was held in the Committee-room of Rotherhithe Parish, before C. JEMMETT, Esq., on a male new-born infant, whose body was placed in a basket, and sent from town in the Deptford stage-coach, directed to Mr. Stevens, a baker, residing near Millpond-bridge. The following evi dence was adduced : • Elizabeth Turner, the first witness examined, deposed as fol lows :-1 am housekeeper to Mr. Stevens. On Wednesday forenoon, about half-past 12 o'clock, I received a basket by the Deptford stage-coach, directed for Mr. Stevens, baker, near Millpond-bridge, Rotherhithe, and fastened to the handle of the basket. Mr. Stevens not being at home, the basket remained in the shop until about one o'clock, when he came home. Soon after, the basket was taken into the kitchen by Mr. Stevens's niece, who proceeded to open it, observing, " that it was a pre sent of a goose to her uncle." After the niece had entered with the basket, I went over and took a parcel out of it ; and, on my proceeding to open it, I was shocked on beholding the head and side of the face of a new-born infant, which was pinned up in a napkin. The witness added, that on opening the parcel, he dis covered a piece of paper inside, with these words wrote on it— " Bury, bury the deed." Coroner.—Did the child seem to have been dead any length of time P_Witness. It had not the appearance of being dead many hours; its face and arms were quite red ; but I was so alarmed that I did not minutely examine it. Georginia Anindale, Mr. Steven's niece, deposed, that she saw the parcel taken in on the day stated. She removed the basket at her uncle's request from the shop into the kitchen, where she proceeded to open it, and found a napkin, with some thing pinned up in it, which she at first imagined was a present of a goose for her uncle. She took the napkin out of the basket and laid it on the dresser, from whence it was taken into the bakehouse by the housekeeper, who, to her surprise, upon examining it, found it to contain the body of a child. Coroner.—Did the coachman say where he brought the parcel from ? Mrs. Turner replied, that the coachman said he had brought it from the Elephant and Castle. Charles Fisher, book-keeper at Mrs. Fisher's, the Elephant and Castle, deposed, that on Tuesday night a packet, directed for Mr. Stevens, baker, Millpond-bridge, was taken into their office, and delivered over to Mr. Barry's coachman, on Wed nesday morning, to deliver to Mr. Stevens. In reply to a question by the Jury, the witness said, that he had no recol lection whatever of the person who left the basket; whether it was a male or female, he could not say, in consequence of the great number of parcels which were left there in the course of the day. Samuel Sone, the coachman who delivered the parcel at Mr. Stevens's, deposed, that the parcel was given to him at the time mentioned by the last witness, and delivered at Mr. Stevens's. C. Jackson, a surgeon, deposed, that on 'Wednesday afternoon he was sent for to the workhouse, when he examined the body of the child. The navel-string had the appearance of being re cently tied, and on the fore part of the throat there were evident marks of discolouration. He then proceeded to open the body, and on dissecting the back integuments covering the fore part of the throat, he found the right jugular vein distended, as if some obstruction had been offered to the return of the blood. The lungs had a healthy appearance, and appeared as if they had breathed atmospheric air. The lungs were put into water, and floated, which depicted that the child was born alive. Coroner.—Might not the child have died immediately on its coming into the world ? Witness.—My supposition is, that the marks of violence which I discovered on the body were the cause of its death. If the child had di e d a t i ts bi rt h , the lungs would not have assum ed the healthy appearance which they did. The Jury retired about 10 minutes, and brought in the fol lowing verdict :—" That the child was horn alive, hut how or in what manner it came by its death they had not sufficient evidence before them to prove." ABDUCTION OF AN ENGLISH LADY IN FRANCE. the 2d of June copies —The Courier Francais of the following article from the Journal du Cal vados :—" We are informed that Mr. S—, a half-pay Captain, was arrested on the fist, and carried to prison, where he still is, on account of carrying off Miss a young English lady, 15 years of age, living in Paris. It is said that Mrs. D , the wife of Mr. S , had asked the young lady in marriage for her son, Mr: 1.) , at present one of the garde-du-corps of Monsieur, the• King's brother, and had received a refusal--that she wrote on this to her husband, Mr. S-, to repair, to Paris, and that they formed the project of carrying off Miss in order to compel her family to give her in mar riage to young Mr. D-. In fact, Mr. S and Mrs. S- his mother, both went to Paris. The day was fixed for running away with the young lady, a new cabriolet was purchased, to which two post-horses were harnessed, and ten o'clock in the evening was found a convenient time to place it at the corner of the Rue Dau phine, carry. Miss K---- there, and conduct her thence to the dwelling of the mother and sister of Mr.. S--, at Caeu. On the day after, two ujomen of the town went to the dwelling of Mrs. K---, and offe.red, for the sum of 20,000 francs, to. inform her, of the place where her daughter had been carried to. The Police was informed of thk, the two women were arrested, and gave all the information they possessed of the circum stances of the abduction. Mr. K-----, the fa ther, accompanied by a Colonel Pigot, repaired post to Caen, with letters of recommendation to Count Montlivault, who gave orders to the Com missaire of Police, and in two hours they proved, by placing the young lady in the hands of her father, that crime cannot long pass with impunity in our town. It i s sa id th a t Mrs. D----, Mr. --- D—, the Ga r d e -d n -C orps , th e porter, of the hotel de Sully, and the two women of the town, are arrested, and that they only wait the arrival at park of Mr, who is to be sent there in a few days, to proceed with the trial of these parties. LACONIC AbiELT.—A gentleman who by mere chance strolled into a coffee-house where he 'thet with a Captain of his acqua intance, on the point of sailing to New York, and from whom he re , ce ived an invitation to accompany him; which he accepted, taking care, however, to inform his wife which he did in these terms—" Dear wife, o e,ff t am going to America, your'S truly." Her answer, was not at all inferior either in laconism or tenderness--" Dear husband; a Pleasant voy age, your's, &c." FOR THE SUN. THE UNFORTUNATE.—A TALE. Of chance or change, 0 let not man complain, Else shall he never, never cease to wail ; For from the imperial dome to where the swain Rears the lone cottage in the silent dale, All feel the assault of Fortune's fickle gale. BEATTIE. About two years ago I went to Covent-garden Theatre, where, the performance being over early, I determined upon taking a stroll to the House of Commons to hear a very important de bate that, it was supposed, would occupy the House till between two and three o'clock in the morning. It was a clear, moonlight night, and, save the casual shrill cry of the watchmen, and the noise of the people retiring from the theatre, a dread repose reigned over the whole city. I had arrived about the middle of Parliament street, when I was accosted by one of those un fortunate beings who gain their livelihood in a manner too well known. I was hurrying on without regarding her, when she addressed me by name, and that, too, in accents so mournfully expressive, that I could not resist the desire of looking in her face; when, 0 Heaven ! judge of my astonishment and dismay, I thought I perceived in her the emaciated remains of a person whom I had for merly known in one of the most distant counties of England, living in -affluence, innocence, and beauty. My surmise was but too true—a crowd of the most distressing recollections appeared to be passing through her mind. As soo❑ as she had in some degree recovered from the shock which my appearance had occasioned her, (blame me not, ye stoics,) I conveyed her to my lodg ings, where every comfort and consolation were administered to her ; but it was evident that, either from previous wretchedness, or from the effect of our unexpected meeting, she was fast hastening to that final resting-place " where knowledge nor device corneth." Her father was a clergyman residing on the borders of one of the English lakes. Fate or chance had ordained that I should first see the light near the the same place ; but it was not till arrived at maturity that I became acquainted with him or his family. One clear morning, in the month of July, I had rise❑ very early, in order to watch the sun through his first mellow beams upon the clear bosom of the lake, and had almost gained the summit of a mountain, from whence a complete view of it and the surround ing scenery might be obtained, when, happening to cast my eyes a little to the right, I perceived a gentleman, apparently twice my own age, skip ping up the hill with the agility of a roebuck. When he had gained the summit he paused for breath, and I had then the opportunity of leisurely ob serving him. 'His dress was plain, consisting of an upper benjamin, a plain black coat, pantaloons and gaiters; but there was something in his fine, open countenance and dignified deportment that immediately proclaimed him a being of no ordi nary class. It was the remark of a celebrated writer, that, be in what company he might, he never avoided entering into conversation ; for if his companion were bad, he might be benefitted by his (the author's) admonitions; and if good, Ihe himself might derive instruction and amuse ment. As this sentiment is always uppermost in my mind, I had no difficulty in introducing my ' self to the unknown gentleman. I soon found that he was the pastor of a small adjoining pa rish, where he was well known as a man of real learning, piety, and benevolence. lie had formerly occupied a high ecclesiastical station ; but his wife dying, and leaving him a family of one son and three daughters (the youngest about 15,) he had retired to this peaceful scene to de vote the remainder of a life spent in the practice of every virtue, to the instruction not only of his own family, but of all who needed it. " To them his heart, his love, bis griefs were given, " But all his serious thoughts had rest in Heaven." He had resided there about five years, in the course of which time his daughters had grown to full maturity, conspicuous in all those accomplishments which adorn and elevate the fe male character ; whilst the son, who was educat ing for the church, promised to inherit all the virtues of his father. When our first salutations were over, and we had by insensible degrees become acquainted, he proposed that I should accompany him home to breakfast, to which I readily consented ; " I love," said he, " to wander abroad on such mornings as this, for it i then that Nature puts on her most cheering aspect. The morning of my life was bright and hopeful ; but that greatest of all human calamities, the loss of an amiable and af fectionate wife, and increasing years and reflec-1 tion, though they have not been able to de stroy my cheerfulness, have at least -shewn me the vanity and insufficiency of human enjoy ments ; and all my desire now is to pass the rest of my life in quiet usefulness, and then sink into the grave with the consciousness of having done my duty, and in the fervent hope of mercy and immortality." We then turned our steps towards his small, though elegant dwelling, where I was introduced to his family, who ail evinced that politeness and 1 superiority of intellect which I had been led to expect. From that time I became a constant visitor ; and our small circle was soon enlivened by the arrival of a young Lieutenant of Dragoons, with whom the venerable pastor had been formely ac quainted ; and who, happening to pass through a neighbouring town, had obtained leave of absence for some.weeks, in order to pay his respects to his forther friend. Although a young man of good intentions, it was evident that he possessed all the vanity that unfledged candidates for mi litary fame generally feel ; and having never been engaged in the bustle or dangers of war, he knew no more of them than what he had heard 'ram others. He appeared to pay particular at .ention to the youngest daughter, Etaza ; and I 'ancied that I could perceive in him the first dawnings of a passion more tender than that of friendship towards her, but it did not appear to be reciprocal. However, those hopes, if he had ever entertained them, were soo❑ to be an nihilated by an event the most awful and Ca'. lamitous. One evening, just after the moon had risen, .and (although a few gentle breezes rustled over the water) nature gave earnest of a lovely night , the pastor proposed that we should all take at' excursion upon the lake. We readily agreed, small vessel with sails was prepared for the pur pose, and we soon embarked. The young Office r , took his flute on bo ar d ; an d, as soon as we had reached about half a m il e f rom t h e l an d , h e be gan playing, whilst ELIZA accompanied him with her voice. When they had finished , the Officer proposed that he, the pastor's son, and his two eldest daughters, should enter a boat which we had brought out with us, and rog to a neighbouring island ; whilst the pastor, Fierza. and myself, should remain- in the vessel. Not for a moment suspecting any danger, we coy' sented, the boat was launched,and they embarked' Scarcely , however, had they done so when sudden squall drifted them considerably to lee ward, and the boat upset ! Neither the pastor , son nor the Officer could swim, consequentlY they could not afford assistance to the females, nor extricate themselves. Our vessel had beers completely separated from them, and we there fore could afford no help. To the first cries of the females, a calm soon succeeded, and in about seven minutes we could see no trace whatever of the unfortunate party ! The pastor sat upon the deck of the vessel the picture of intense, though . resigned grief ; the bright moon shone calmly on as if in mockery of his sorrow ; and the deep red pose was only interrupted by the audible sobs of his now only child. With some difficulty we reached the shore St the opposite point to that at which we had em barked, and after traversing the country for some miles we separated, and returned home op pressed with feelings not to be described. Next morning the melancholy intelligence spread through the village—search was made for the bodies, but no trace whatever was ever dis covered of them. I did not visit the pastor for some time, consi dering that his grief and that of his daughter would sooner find relief if unchecked in its course ; but on the following Sunday I repaired to church, and took my seat in a; retired part o f it, anxious to behold with what resignation a Christian could meet the severest dispensations of Providence. When he ascended the pulpit, all eyes were rivetted upon him : there was an ap pearance of settled resignation in his countenance, and he went through the service in his usual calm and dignified manner. The subjects of his dis course were, the uncertainty of earthly enjoy ments, and the dangers and absurdity of unbelief. " If any thing were wanting," sans he, in a tone of the most affectionate earnestness, 44 to prove the consolations of a well-grounded belief in a future state, let it be found in me,. who have sa crificed all worldly feelings at the altar of Faith, who have parted with fortitude from those who were dear to me here, because I feel certain of meeting them hereafter. But Ido not derive these comforts from any merits of my own, it the goodness and mercy of the Supreme Being which alone bestowed them upon me. Had deed, disbelieved the Scriptures, how different would have been my condition ! The multitude of my misfortunes would then have overwhelm ed me ; and I should have have gone down to the dust in utter despair, doubt and darkness." Soon afterwards, circumstances required my' attendance and future residence in the Metros polls. I left the old man and his daughter corns partitively happy, and heard nothing of either till I met the latter as before described. Bow she had arrived in London, or by what means she had been reduced to that condition, my m ost anxious inquiries could never discover; but I am led to think that seduction, that bane of society, despising every call of honour, and eluding the vigilance of the best of fathers, had been the cause of her ruin. If any one who had known her in her days of youthful happiness 'and inno cence had said that such would be her fate, should have considered him as the slanderer of fe male purity —so little do we known by the pre sent day what the events of the morrow may be. I have since learned that the pastor continues in his Christian course with unabated zeal and fer vency. But although the flowers bloom as usual in the valley, she who was its brightest ornament moulders forgotten amidst the noise and tumult of the city. Bath, May, 1824. * • COURSE OF:EXCIUNGE, June 4.
