[We feel infinite pride and gratification in being able to present the following letter exclusively to our subscribers ; who will thus be in possession of discoveries, which for some days, probably some weeks, will not appear in the scientific journals. The astronomical reader will readily recognise the stupendous instrument referred to by our Correspondent, as the one constructed at the expense and under the direction of a nobleman of distinguished mechanical genius, and de voted to the sublime study of the stars. Its dimensions may be estimated from the fact that it is twice as long (eighty feet) as the famous telescope erected by Sir William Her schell at Slough. The diameter of the speculum is two yards ! —EDITOR.] Dublin, April 21, 1844. My dear ****—Since my last, an event has occurred here of unusual interest to the scientific world, and the astrono mers in particular :—nothing less than the testing of the monster telescope !—with results so extraordinary and of such thrilling interest, that, jaded as I am with fatigue and excitement, I cannot resist sitting down to give some ac count of our discoveries. It was my good fortune, you will remember, to be present at the casting of the great speculum, when his Lordship so signally exhibited his skill, energy, and presence of mind : and on Friday last I was agreeably surprised by receiving a courteous invitation to assist, as the French say, at an ex perimental trial of the powers of the stupendous machine, at last happily completed after the expenditure of so much time, labour, andmoney. Finding that my friend Macluie, the well-known author of a " Treatise on the Differential Calculus," had received a similar card, we hired a chaise and proceeded together to the appointed rendezvous, his Lord ship's country seat. To prevent interruption, or intrusion, the affair was a profound secret, except to the initiated—in all about a score of persons, several of whom had come over expressly from England, and one or two from the Continent. According to Maclure, there was even a Professor from the Swedish University of Upsala. The company being all mustered, we repaired in a body, led by our noble host, to the grounds, where we found the telescope, erected pro tempore on a gentle eminence in the park; the abundant brass work glittering brightly in the moonbeams, and the huge frame, throwing a complicated skeleton-like shadow across the smooth grass. Seen against the dark blue sky by the dubious lunar light, its dimensions seemed even greater than they really were. Altogether it looked more like some gigantic engine of war—a " hollow tube" of that artillery described by Milton as pointed by the rebellious angels against the host of Heaven, than a machine intended to aid in the peaceful achievements of science—a quiet victory over space. Some minutes were spent in walking round the telescope, watching its singular appearance in different aspects, and then in testing and admiring the simplicity of its construc tion and the facility of the movements. The workmanship was perfect. Not a screw was loose ; not a hinge was stiff; every joint and pivot moved as easily and as silently as those of the human frame. So delicate was the adjustment, so nice the poise. A child could have turned the enormous tube, at will, in any direction. No vibration, no oscillation. None but the operatives of our country and our own times could have produced such a result. It was verily the triumph of modern mechanic art ! At last, we all congregated in a group round the inferior end of the machine. The huge brass cap over the larger disc had been removed : the covering of the smaller lens was now withdrawn, and the tube stood ready to disclose its wondrous visions to the human eye. Expectation was on tiptoe—curiosity wound up to the highest pitch—anxiety on the rack—but nobody stirred or spoke. There was a dead, solemn pause of wonder, and I might say awe, for who knew what sublime revelations might be in store for us ! sights invisible to the mortal organ since the creation of the world! What perplexing problems were perhaps about to be solved ! What long-cherished theories confirmed or overturned for ever! In the meantime the glass was carefully levelled at one " bright particular star," and through the intense silence came an emphatic whisper distinctly audible to us all. "Now, then, gentlemen, for the first look through the virgin instrument." This honour was assigned to a person age who stood beside me :—the Astronomer Royal, probably, or Sir John Herschel; but my old infirmity prevented me from catching the name, and I am acquainted, personally, with very few of our seavans. Possibly you will recognise him from my description—a large square-built man, very bald, with a bland countenance, and a peculiar hitch in his speech. He trembled visibly as he applied his eye to the glass, and to judge by myself we all quivered more or less with the same nervous excitement. By a stop-watch, his gaze would perhaps have occupied some forty or fifty seconds : but to my feeling, and doubtless to that of the rest of the company, the long, long look endured for several minutes. Nevertheless, nobody hurried to take his place when he turned away from the glass : every eye was in tently riveted on his face as if to guess by its expression the nature and amount of his emotions. But to all our glances and inquiries he only answered by the exclamation —" Look ! look ;" with a gesture of his arm towards the telescope. The noble proprietor was now urged to take the turn ; and after a very hasty peep, resigned his place to a foreigner, whom I should have guessed to be Mons. Arago, who cer tainly ought to have been there, if he had borne the least resemblance to the portraits of that distinguished philosopher. But he wanted the commanding figure, as well as the marked features, of the French astronomer. However, he wore the star of some , foreign order on his bosom ; and another of his attributes was a prodigious gold snuff-box, from which he drew and inhaled an intolerably long-drawn pinch before he settled to the glass. Like his Lordship, his politeness did not allow him to engross the sight for more than a few seconds; but they sufficed to convince him, that the spectacle was " superbe ! magnifique!" as he continued to ejaculate , between each prise from his tabatiare. We now stood rather less ceremoniously on the order of our peeping. One after another hurried eagerly to the glass, curiosity sometimes taking precedence of good breeding; but the expressive faces of those of us who had looked, their excited gestures and vehement expressions of surprise and admiration, had worked impatience into a fever. These rap tures, however, owed a portion of their intensity to some gra tification vouchsafed only to the scientific : for, when my own turn came, my first feeling was one of disappointment. The two brilliant stars that I beheld, magnified almost into moons, were indeed beautiful objects—their discs sharply de fined, and without any prismatic halo, or diffused light from scratches on the speculum,—defects which had been appre hended as likely to occur with lenses and a mirror of such enormous size. But that. was all. I was not aware till after wards of the true value of the phenomenon—that up to the hour, those twin orbs had been supposed to be one. The company having warmly congratulated the noble pro prietor on the signal success of his enterprise, the Gigantic- Telescope was turned towards another quarter of the heavens, by this time studded with stars. The Frenchman now took the lead : and whatever he saw, the spectacle was too much for his equanimity. He hastily seized on his nearest neigh bour, whom, with a " Mon Dieu !" he literally dragged to the glass—still exhorting every one about him to regarder, as if they could all have looked simultaneously through the tube. His successor was also a foreigner, possibly the Swedish Pro fessor, for lie had the same cast of face, with the long light hair flowing over his shoulders, as our old friend Jorgenson of Stockholm. He was also strongly excited, as was a very venerable white-haired gentleman, who followed him in turn ; the last indeed, by the glistening of his eyes, was even in tears. And really there was cause for such strong emotion, considering the singular beauty of the spectacle, and the interesting nature of the discovery which I shall endeavour to describe. In common with many others, I have often wondered at the little resemblance between the constellations and the objects after which they are named. With trifling exceptions, they suggest no figures at all, certainly not the monsters, real or fabulous, that sprawl on our celestial maps. For example, it would require a very courtier's imagination to detect in the stars of Taurus any similarity to a bull, or in Cetus anything " very like a whale." As to the Bear, lie much more re sembles his vulgar alias, the Plough. But we did injustice to the Chaldean seers, and the patriarchal shepherds, or who ever recognised the ancient signs in heaven, and bestowed on them their names. In the course of ages, many of the stars belonging to the Constellations have receded, and disap peared, like the remarkable one missed from its place by Hipparchus of Rhodes, about 160 years before the Christian era. These lost stars, till now invisible to modern eyes, were however plainly discernible through the Monster Telescope; and it was obvious, that when they occupied their original places, the Constellations to which they belonged must have presented a striking, not to say startling, resemblance to the figures with which they were associated. For instance, Leo, which was as well defined in its outline by its stars, as our Royal Crowns, &c., in illumination lamps The excitement produced by this brilliant discovery it would be difficult to describe. One little brisk personage ac tually capered with delight ; while the Frenchman threw himself, after the national fashion, upon his Lordship, whom he overwhelmed with his embraces and his voluble felicita tions. Another, a tall, large man, walking rapidly to and fro, rubbing his hands vehemently, and muttering to himself, "It beats the solar eclipse at Pisa!"* In the meantime some of the more composed of the party took occasional peeps through the telescope, and from their successive reports, be held not only double, triple, and quadruple stars of various colours—blue, red, green, and purple, but absolute swarms of comets ; not less than sixty-four being counted within the same field of view—some with a single tail, others with two, and one projecting from its nucleus three distinct trains of light, diverging from each other at angles of about twenty degrees! Judge of our state of enthusiasm and rapture at these thronging novelties! Every body seemed more or less in a state of delirium For my own part, I can only compare my teeing to the exaltation which I once experienced after inhaling the laughing gas. I seemed literally lifted Above the earth And possessed joys not promised at my birth. Nothing but the dread of alarming the neighbourhood, and attracting a concourse of the peasantry, prevented our join ing in a general shout. As yet nobody had positively mentioned the Moon ; b a nt sundry glances at the planet had shown that she was n e o c t m b e sent from our thoughts. These significant looks now became more frequent ; and her name even began to be uttered amongst us, in spite of a previous understanding that she was to be left to the last, by way of a bonne bouche. But the wonders we had already seen had excited our appetite for the marvellous to a ravenous p itch ; and of all the celes tial bodies the moon, the nearest to the earth—our own satel lite with her map-like face—her dark and bright spots—her prodigious mountains, valleys, and active human speculation. has_ ever been a subject of supreme interest in speculation. These conjectural fancies the Monster Telescope, with its im mense powers, now promised to set at rest, together with the romantic theory of Fontenelle, of a plurality of worlds, each inhabited like our own. Inspired by these hopes, and eager to realise i them, there sprang up among us a sort of agitation, carried on by mur murs and gestures which finally led to the investigation of the Moon, in preference to Jupiter and his satellites, Saturn and his ring, the Nebulae, or the Milky Way. The venerable gentleman already alluded to was the first to look, and after a while actually staggered away from the glass with an ejaculation, which, though natural under the circumstances, would seem profane if deliberately committed. to paper. * Probably Mr. Bailey, the aetronomer.—En. However, it sufficed, with his look of concern, if not horror, to drive us from our propriety. There was a general rush towards the glass, each individual who succeeded in turn, having to endure the entreaties, remonstrances, and even re proaches, from the more impatient of the throng. In this unsatisfactory way I obtained a hurried glimpse ; but it served to. show me such a scene of desolation as I had never contemplated even in a dream. Wide dreary wastes of white sand, bounded by barren rocks, enclosing gloomy valleys dark as that of the Shadow of Death ! Vegetation there was none; but one immense shady tract proved to be a vast forest—literally a Black Forest—of charred trees. In its shape I seemed to recognise one of those dark patches on the surface of the full moon,* which are visible to the naked eye. Dismal as these features were, there were others of quite as melancholy a character. Thus the bright spot named after Kepler by the astronomers, was made out by the Swedish professor to be a great conical hill of bones bleached to a dazzling whiteness. To what class of animals they be longed it was impossible to determine ; but none of them resembled the bones of the human species. From these indications we at first entertained sanguine hopes of seeing some living creatures ; but not the least sign or stir of life could be detected in any part of the planet. But the most astounding discovery was yet to come. Amongst the dark patches on the face of the moon, dis cernible by the naked eye, is a remarkable one, supposed to be a valley- or cavity, which has been estimated by some astronomers as fifty miles broad, and nearly three miles in depth. It is called after Tycho Brahe, I believe, by the learned. In the midst of this huge hollow, there appears a bright spot, 'formerly the object of much speculation and controversy, but now ascertained, by the extraordinary powers of the new telescope, to be the skeleton of a gigantic animal—of dimensions .so enormous as to surpass the mam moth or mastodon as much as they, exceed in size our ordinary awn I The skeleton wa4,4ying on its side ; and most of thq bones . retaining their places, afforded a very good notion of its figure. According to the Frenchman, who professed to have studied osteology under Cuvier, the structure was very pecu liar, and unlike that of any known terrestrial animal, living or fossil. From the valley where it lay there ran a long narrow ravine, which you may trace by referring to a map of the moon. It was strewed with detached bones, and was doubtless the, passage by which the monster issued and re turned from his foragings. The total absence of life, and the conical mound of bleached bones, were now accounted for; the monster, after ravaging all around, had at last perished by famine ; but there is some thing bewildering in the idea of a creature of such magni tude inhabiting a planet not so large by two-thirds as our own. To give you any idea of the effect produced on us by so unexpected, and, I may say, so appalling a spectacle, is im- W su e d s d to en od l a y a n w d a l k oo en k e e d d from a sound sleep. Could it be real? Was it not all a dream? And that, then , was the Moon , the favourite haunt of romantic and poetical love fancies — one of the retreats of e aother,s absolutely faces stunning. like men the f a i r i e s! Well might the Frenchman shrug his shoulders silently in l th was e and exclaim that it was " triste—vraiment afiligeante r Nor did it much surprise me to see the old white-haired gentle man, sitting on the grass, weeping like a child. In reality there was something depressing and shocking in the horrible desolation we had witnessed; yet withal so strangely fasci nating, that we returned to it again and again. But we made no new discovery; except of the crater of an extinct volcano, in the vicinity of the charred forest already de scribed. At this point the party broke up, and Maclure and myself took leave. But there are mysterious whisperings afloat of subsequent explorations by a " select few;" and in par ticular of some supposed ethereal or angelic beings discovered in Vesta. Their shape, it is said, cannot be distinguished; nor are they visible whilst within the disc of the planet, which is a very bright one; but when beyond its edge they are discernible, against the dark sky, hovering about with a soft greenish light, like that of the fire flies one sees on the banks of the Rhine. As soon as I can obtain any authentic particulars you , hear from me again. In th e mean ti me , adieu.—Yours CHARLES MAITLAND KILGOUR. I omitted to mention that, observing how everybody rubbed theit eyes after looking through the telescope, I de termined to watch my own sensations, and detected a slight drawing or shooting pain in the organ ; of course from the immense power of the lenses overstraining the optic nerves. I have just learned that several of the party are suffering from the same cause ; one of them with a temporary blind ness of the right eye. * Perhaps the one called Cleomedes.—En.

CONFESSION OF MRS. DOREY. On the first indictment against the prisoners Barber and Fletcher, the confession of Mrs. Dorey was put in evidence, but upon objection being taken by the counsel for the prisoners, only that portion of it was read which applied to the case of Stewart. We are now enabled to lay before our readers the remainder of this extraordinary statement, in which Mrs. Dorey details all the particulars connected with these enormous frauds, but it is thought better that certain names mentioned should be omitted, as inquires are still going on, and their publication might tend to defeat the ends of justice. After detailing the parti culars connected with the Stewart case, Mrs. Dorey proceeds as follows :—" About this time I went with Fletcher and his wife to the Bank of England. Fletcher went there to see his friend, and while we were in the Rotunda Mr. Chritinas passed us, and stopped to speak to Fletcher a moment. Fletcher left us to go and have some conversation with him, and after Fletcher returned to us, he said that Mr. Christmas and himself avoided as much as possible being seen conversing together. I asked him why. He replied, he did not wish persons em ployed in the Bank of England to know from whom he got information. Soon after this Fletcher said, from the information he had received from his friend he thought he could do some good for me, provided I would do as he instructed me. After some conversa tion with him, I said I would do so. Soon after this I was living in Dean-street. He brought to me a will of Eliza Burchard, of Westminster, and several other places, written by himself, and wished me to copy it.' I did so. There was only one name written on it. He told me to disguise my hand, and write closer than usual, or I should not have room. lie brought some ink of a peculiar description, in a small phial, to write it with, and also a strip of paper, with the name Eliza Burchard written upon it. Fletcher said he had received it that same morning from his friend in the Bank of England, and that he (the clerk) had copied it from the original handwriting of the de ceased in the bank books, and to which it bore as close a resemblance as possible. After I had copied the will, Fletcher, in my presence, made a fac simile of the same handwriting as that sent to him on the slip of paper by the Bank clerk, at the foot of the will, observing it was what he should do to the will that would render it useful, and not what I had done. In thinking deeply on the past occurrences since I related them to my solicitor, I perfectly recol lect that Fletcher made an impression on the will, with, I think, red wax, and probably with my seal, at the same time he wrote the names of Eliza Burchard, and William Saunders. He took it away with him and would not stop to dine with me, because he wished to be in time to show it to Barber the same day. I expostulated with Fletcher for writing the name of William Saunders, that being the name of my brother-in-law. He assured me nothing could ever come of it, and said he intended to'see William Saunders and talk to him, for he was quite sure that he could do better for him than ever he would be able to do in his own business. Fletcher said I must take a lodging, and told me what I should say to the land lady in case she required a reference. I was to say my name was Eliza Burchard, and that I had come from the country to stay a short time in London, and that if she pleased I would pay her rent in advance. I was also to say that as I had friends liv ing a short distance out of town, perhaps I should not sleep often at the lodging, but if any let ters were brought she was to be particular in taking care of them. I accordingly took a l o dging in breaackt Russell-street, Bloomsbury, consisting of one room on the first floor, fo r which I paid eight or ten ' shillings per week. I only slept there one night. I was disguised when I took the lodging, therefore I do not think the p erson I took it from would be able to identify me. It was Fletcher's wish that I should disguise m yself. He said he had a particular reason for my so doing, which hd would hereafter make me acquainted with; for the present I was to leave it to h i m . lie bought me a pair of spectacles, and desired me to wear a light hair front, with curls, so as to con ceal my face as much as possible, and to represent an old maid ; and I did in all things as he directed. Some few days after I had taken the lodging I went to Flet cher's house, in Southampton -place. My mother was at this time alarmingly ill. I was in a dreadful fright about fulfilling the promise I had made to him, and I was very uneasy inconsequence of having to disguise myself. On expressing my alarm to Fletcher, and my anxiety to do nothing more in the matter, he assured me all was right; that he had heard from his friend in the Bank. He showed me a note he had received from him, on which there was a good deal of figuring. I saw the name of Xmas' written on the foot of the note. Fletcher also showed me an unclaimed dividend book, in which several names were written against in the margin; he said his friend in the Bank had marked them as dead' cases.. I asked him what that meant. He replied, ' They are dead in law, and arethe cases we seek (here he mentioned the names of— and —), who he said transacted business at theßank in the same way he did.' Fletcher said there . was no law to prevent individuals having the money if they knew bow to proceed to get it ; ' and that if any obstacle wa s thrown in his way I t should see that he would immediately carry it into the 20 0 1 13 Payable by bank notes. remittances. or drafts.

THIS IS THE ONLY COMPANY'who are bound by their deed of constitution net to dispute any policy, unless they can prove that It was obtained by fraudulent misrepresentation ; the great aim and object having been to render Life Policies COMPLETE SECURI TIES and NEGOTIABLE DOCUMENTS, which shall owe their value to the certainty of the contracts upon which they are founded, and be independent of the liberality sr caprice of those who shall be in the management of the affairs of the. Company when the claims arise ; and for this purpose the Company have, by a clause in their deed of constitution, unhesitatingly deprived themselves of the power of objecting to any policy, unless they undertake to prove that it was obtained from these by fraudulent misrepresentation. The regulations common to all other Life Companies, which make the validity of assurance contracts dependent upon the perfect correct ness of the litany statements required from a proposer for a Life Policy, and which have given rise to almost all the questions which have been argued In the Courts, and to many extra judicial com promises, are thus entirely abrogated; and nothing bat fraud, proved to have been committed against them, can vitiate a policy wanted by this Company. THIS IS THE ONLY COMPANY from whom the assured oa the mutual principle, receive the whole of the mutual accumulations, and also a guarantee from the Shareholders for the sums assured. THIS IS THE ONLY COMPANY who bind themselves to pay the sums In the poßcies, although the debts for which they were effected shall have been liquidated before the claims arise. The Company considering it only just towards the assured that where premiums have been paid for assuring a given amount, that amount should be paid; and they undertake to de so without reference to the state of the accounting between the assured and his debtor. THIS IS ALMOST THB ONLY COMPANY who grant in favoar of creditors Whole world policies, whereby the debt is secured, although the d‘eter should go beyond the limits of Europe. The premiums calculated according to the Carlisle Tables, are lower than usual upon young lives, where participation is the profits is not required ; and for short assurances, which, at the option of the assured, may he continued for life, the rates are as low as a duo re gard to complete security will permit.

The Half-premium plan of Assurance, as practised by this Company, thus enables persons to retain to their own use the one-half of the premiums for the first seven years, at 51. per cent. interest. Thus, suppose the or dinary premium for an assurance of 5001. to be 101., the first pay ment by the half-premium plan will he five guineas, being the one half of the 101., and interest for the retained half; ani, if death should occur in the first year, the sum of 5001. would be paid less the 51. retained. The assured may thus have the use for the first year of 51. ; for the second, of 101. ; and so on till the end of the seventh year, when the retained sums, amounting to 351., may either be repaid, er retained at 51. per cent. interest until death, when the 35!. would be subtracted from the 5001. then payab. , pythe Cempany.

FOREIGN WOOL TRADE.--LEEDS, MAY 17.—There has been a less active demand for some descriptions of foreign wool during the past week, and transactions on the whole have been more limited. Prices nevertheless are firm. ENGLISH WOOL MARKET.—LEEDS, MAY 17.—The manufacturers, who had been holding off from buying combing wool for some time, have now considerably re duced their stocks, and are beginning to come into the market again as purchasers, though the prices they offer are below the rates at which supplies can be obtained from the farmers. Clothing wools are without any alteratien. YORK WOOL MARKET, MAY 16.—This day the Wool market for the season commenced, and was attended by a tolerable number of buyers, but the-quantity shown was very small, and throughout the market continued flat. Prices varied from 10d. to 12d. per lb. LEEDS.—The markets at both our Cloth-halls have been brisk for goods of a general description, but in tweeds there has been rather less done, particularly in low thin sorts. There has also been considerable inquiry for shawls and cloakings, of new patterns, whilst the halls are kept thin of goods, in consequence of many manufacturers being engaged in delivering to order for the American and Chinese markets. There has not been quite so much business done by the houses in the home trade this week, but the shipping houses continue very busy. On the whole, there is more business doing than usual at this season, with every prospect of a steady trade for the autumn. _ BRADFORD MARKET, THCRSDAY.--The attendance of merchants in the Piece Market is not so numerous to day as is usual at this time of the year, nevertheless the amount of business done is a full average of many weeks past. In prices no - alteration. Yarn continues in fair prices firm.

He here observed that he had done so in one case ; that an objection had been raised to his obtaining the money, but they were afterwards obliged to give it up. After this informa tion, I acted with confidence. Fletcher told me he had shown the will to Barber, who said it was all right. As the time drew near, when I was to go to the Bank, Fletcher said I must be identified. I asked, Are you going to identify me ?' He replied, No ; I e should not be seen with me, but Mr. Barber would do all that might be required ; he knew all about the business, therefore, he would answer all questions.' Mr. Fletcher then gave me Barber's address, and said he would take me to him on the following morning. He told me to disguise myself as I had done before, and to get into an omnibus that would put me dots n at the corner of Farringdon-street, about eleven o'clock. I did so, and passed Fletcher, who was wait ing for me, several times, and he did not recognise me until I went up and spoke to him, and he then took me to Mr. Barber's office in Bridge-street. Fletcher introduced me to Barber as Miss Burchard, and I sat down in the office for some time. Fletcher and Barber, after conversing, left the office together, and after a short time both returned. After a few minutes, Fletcher left, and Barber took me to a Proctor,in Doctors' Commons, where the will of Eliza Burchard was produced, to the best of my recollection by Barber. The proctor, on reading the will, observed that it must have been a clever woman to write it. Barber replied, " Oh, co pied, copied, I dare say.) I was then taken before some gentlemen, and had to make an affidavit. I was not aware I should have to do so before I went. Some questions were asked, and Mr. Barber answered them all. I returned with Mr. Barber to his office. He said he should want me again, and would write to let me know when. Fletcher and Barber seemed to un derstand each other very well, and it was quite ob vious that all the papers it was necessary to have were in readiness before my arrival at Barber's office. I went subsequently to the Bank of England with Mr. Barber, and wrote the name of Eliza Burchard in several books. Barber identified me as Miss Burchard He was the only person who accompanied me, either to the Commons or the Bank, through the whole busi ness. The money was obtained. It was paid over in my assumed name of Eliza Burchard to Ba'rber. I cannot say what he did with the money. When I re ceived it from him, Fletcher was waiting for me. I gave him the money, and he went to my home with me. He had a pen and ink, and made a calculation of what he considered due to me. After deducting the expenses and five per cent. for the Bank clerk, he gave me be- _ tween six and seven hundred pounds, which he said was half the sum left. The other half he said was his. Barber's account was made out at the time he paid me the money. Fletcher previously told me to pay Barber, and give him 51. more than the amount of his bill for hastening the business . I acted on everything as Fletcher directed me. A few days after the settlement, Fletcher told me that Barber had kept more money than was sufficient to pay the duty, and as it was proposed that Mrs. Fletcher should accompany me to Bristol, Fletcher said I had better write to Barber from there about it, which I did, and he (Barber) remitted the difference of amount by post-office order. It was about 41. I gave Fletcher two sovereigns. I have never had any communica tion with Barber since, nor ever seen him until I was at the Mansion-house. I think it was previously to my going to Bristol Fletcher changed some Bank notes for me at the Bank of England, and brought me gold for them in a small canvass bag. He brought it to me on London-bridge, where I was waiting for him. I put the money into my own bag with some sovereigns I had in it, and took it all to the London and 'Westminster Bank, near the bridge, where I invested it in my own name. The money was in a velvet bag, and the clerk ob served it was not many ladies' bags were so rich. I cannot speak with accuracy as to dates, but to the best of my recollection this occurred three years ago. I afterwards withdrew the money from the London and Westminster Bank, and placed it in the Bank of England, where I had previously purchased stock to the amount of 3501., in the New Three-and-a-Half Reduced Annuities. Philpots was the name of the broker employed by me. Fletcher introduced me to him. Some tim e after my mother's death my sister from Bristol visited me while I was living in Dean street. She visited the Fletchers, for, I think, the first time. Mr. Fl e t c h er came t o my lodgings to see her, and at his request I took a lodging in Museum-street, for a Miss Cole. He said she was a lady coming free the country that he was going to do business for at the Bank. I was to charge particularly the person who let me the lodgings to be careful of all letters that might be brought there for Miss Cole.- The same day I took the lodging my sister and myself met Fletcher, by appointment,.in St. Paul's Church-yard. We went into an office near there, where I signed the name of Jane Blake, ac cording as Fletcher told me to do. Ido not remem ber or not whether my sister wrote. This is all, to the best of my recollection, that I know or did know concerning anything that might have been done. Some time after this, Fletcher having observed that a young gentleman was paying his addresses to me, spoke to me on the subject. Mrs. Fletcher had then been dead some thirteen months. Three months after her decease, he intimated a partiality he felt for rne, and had for many years. Soon after this lie met the gentlemast he was fearful I liked at my house, and the following day wrote me a strong letter on the subject (I having told Fletcher previously that the gentleman was only a friend, and that I was anxious to retain his friendship, as we had known each other for many years, and he had been a favourite of my mother's), in which letter he said it was useless for me to say the gentleman in question, whom he saw at my house, was only a friend, for it was well known that when a young gentleman frequently visits a young lady, it must be for some purpose, either ho nourable or dishonourable. If the first, why did I deny it ? , If the second, the sooner such visits were discontinued the better. I mention here the contents of this letter sent to me •by Fletcher, because I gave it to three or four of my acquaintances to read, and it being sealed with.the same impression as that found. by Forrester at my house, they might probably re member it. The letter, with others, I unfortunately destroyed previous to my marriage with Mr. Dorey. During the time my sister was in business at the Pantheon, Mrs. Fletcher went with me to see her there, and purchased two seals precisely the same. She kept one herself, and gave the other to me. Fletcher was at variance with me because I expressed such indignance at the letter he had sent me. Some time after this my brother-in law, Mr. Saunders, came from Bristol ; he was angry with me for refusing to accept Mr. Fletcher. Mr. Saunders visited Fletcher, and talked to him on the subject, saying it was injudicious of him to pro pose to me at a time when I was so grievously afflicted by the loss of m y mo th er , an d h e having so recently lost his wife; therefore, Fletcher came again to see me. It must have been about this time that Mr. Saunders said he should like to see Miss -, an acquaintance of mine. He saw her two or three times, and talked to her. He did not sleep at my house, as was his usual custom, but was lodging near Hungerford Market. I met him one day, and he told me he was thinking of calling on Miss --, Hunt. get her to sign the paper he had in his hand. i looked at it, and found it to be the will of Mary f unt i . I talked to Miss -- about the gentleman, m3:el y l for friend (meaning Fletcher), and said it was very h l e i . l e might be able to get some money r.. She signed the will. I took it after she had co d m o m ne en s t o ed so, and looked at what she had written, and her not h aving she written replied, her own own dare na d m aa e, y b t u h t at t w ha o t ul o d f Mary Hunt. do as well. I returned it again to Saunders, and never heard anything more about it. What I state here is all the knowledge I have, or ever had, in the matter. I lent Mr. Saunders 401. or 501. when he first came up from Bristol, and he repaid me before he went home. Both he and Fletcher were angry with me, therefore they:were not commu nicative with me as to what they were doing. Fletcher again urged his suit, and I repulsed him, upon which he said he must know, once for all, whe ther I would receive him as my future husband or not. On my determined refusal of him, he said he would never again be on terms of friendship with me, nor give me his advice, as he had hitherto done. From that time, up to January, 1843, I neither saw nor heard anything of him, only that he was married, and had visited Mr. and Mrs. Saunders at Bristol. I was married to Mr. Dorey in the month of Fe bruary following, and living at N 0.45, Oxford-street. At that time my sister was visiting me. I think about March (I cannot speak with certainty to the exact time) Mr. Fletcher called at my residence to see my sister. He came, I think, twice. On one occasion of his coming I remained in the room with him and my sister some minutes. lie said to my sister, " I hope you will soon get it done"' My sister replied, she did not know what to o about it, as she was such a bad hand at writing.._ Fletcher said, " Perhaps your sister do ., it or you." I asked what it was, and he said , i writing."

She did not tell me any thing about it. On one occasion of Mr. Fletcher visiting my sister at my house in Oxford-street, I heard him say to' her she must lose no time in going to Bath. She said to my husband she had occasion to go there on business, but would return to town again, and that she would pay my expenses, if he had no objection for me to go with her. He assented, and we went. We slept in Bath one night, and the following morning called at his offices, one near the York House and the other Pear the Abbey Church-yard.
