Reader, remember, this letter was put into the paper by the lady herself, as a testimony to me. " Mrs. Weekley, of No. 3. Swan-street, Bw - ough, takes this oppor tunity of publicly thanking Mr. W. Grimstone, of the Herbary, High gate for the efficacy of his Aromatic Regenerator, in having com pletely restored the hair on her head, after using itabont four months, and the whole of her hair is much ctronger and mere luxuriant than I ever was before the baldness appeared. " Mrs. Weekiey inserts this testimony to the virtues of Mr. G.'s Regenator, feeling assured that many ladies would gladly purchase an 11 s. bottle if they were as certain of its virtues as she is, from ex perience, not only in the restoration and production of hair in abund ance, but as a cure of nervous headache; as a toilet perfume itts far beyond any to her taste. She will feel a pleasure in answering any lady of respectability to the above fact..-3, Swan-street, Borough." In cases of the hair becoming thin, weak, or turning grey, ate w drops on the crown of the head occasionally, every week, will pre vent the hair from coming away with the comb, make it strong, and •3revent it turning grey, rendering the hair luxuriant and curly. A few drops on your hairbrush before brushing the hair, will give the hair brilliancy, causing it to curl. The most delicate ladies may use this delightful proauct •f the vest aromatic herbs and flowers with confidence ; its refreshing sdour removes headache and makes it a most necessary companion o the toilet. In cases of nevous headache, pour ten or twelve drops n the crown of the head ; if v..ry bad, repeat it every quarter of an our. In most cases relief Is certain in ten minutes. It produces air ott children's heads in a few appplications. If used on infants' eads, it has such a peculiar cooling influence on the brain as to pre vent convulsions, as well as promoting the growth of hair.—See pamphlet of testimonials.

Let me give you a sketch of my friend, Mr. Trigger, A sportsman who outs a respectable figure; When only a troy, Mr. Trigger reveal'd A firm predilection for sports of the field; And still ke retains (as he ever has done) The highest respect for his dog and his gun. Mr T. takes the highest delight, as be ought, In whatever may chance to pertain to the sport. He rubs up his "stock," and he sponges his barrel, And he takes special care of his sportng apparel; He brightens his flask, and his pointer and setter Are healthy and active, and none are train'd better. As soon as the season for sporting comes on, Mr. Trigger makes friends with E. MOSES and SON ; And many a coat for the field has he bought, Neat, novel, and fitting, and durably wrought. Ile went to the warehouse a few days ago, Ills favours on MOSES and SON to bestow; For MOSES and SOY'S are the coats he prefers, And ne'er on their dress does ho cast any slurs. My friend, Mr. Trigger, has often avow'd, That any but these could not pass in a crowd. May every good reader who sports with a gun, Learn duly to value E. MOSES and SON ; And dress for the field like my friend, Mr. Trigger, Who cuts such a very respectatile figure. LIST Of PRICES. MAIM TO MEASMIX.

Diffidence, or a sense of right determ ne the former, and miscalculate) hopes em hitter the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un comprosing hurry ; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity, and broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness and social content. The dowry should not be the only marriage set tlement. Honour and justice demand that health should form an item in the compact ;it alone dignifies the alliance. Blighted hopes or neglect wound more sorely than poverty or misfortune.

Let no imaginatively refined, or prudish feeling deter you, by their titles, nor be hindered by misinterpretation. of their supposed contents, from obtaining them. They are not intended certainly for mere idle curiosity, but for the closet perusal of those more deeply interested, to whom they are offered as antagonistic to the empyrical trash put forth on the above subjects, by unqualified authors, which alone or together, are a disgrace to the age. Furthermore, two other little publications claim your attention (same price is. each, by post le. 6d.) called " What to Eat, Drink, and Avoid," and " How to be Happy." They are not merely pamphlets, but equal in quantity a library volume, nor are they the mere ephemeral scribblings of the hour, but the study of the author's life, who owes his present existence, health, and position to this ob servance of the maxims he would inculcate—to do unto others as he would be done unto—to live after nature's laws—and to keep always on the " sunny side of the way."

(Before THOMAS STARKIE, Esq.) CLERC V. JONES. John Samuel Clerc, George r the Fourth, Copen hagen-street, Islington, plaintiff; and John Henry Jones, of Church-row, High-street, Islington, and of the New Bunhill-fields Cemetery, Church-street, Islington, defendant. This action was brought to recover the sum of 51. 18s. 6d., which the plaintiff claimed of the defen dant as follows-31. 3s. for money paid by the plain tiff on the Ist of May last for the purchase of a grave in the New Bunhill-fields Cemetery, and 2/. 15s. 6d. the burial fees charged for the interment of plaintiff's mother, Mary Clerc. Mr. WAKELING said his client complained that he had paid his money in consequence of the defendant's representations that the burial-ground in question was consecrated ground. The defendant called his brother, Evan Jones, who stated that Mr. Clerc called upon him, a day or two after taking the ground, and expressed his dissatisfac tion. He thought he had taken ground to bury his mother in that was consecrated ground, and that the service would be performed by a clergyman of the Church of England. lie found it was not so, and he therefore required his money back again, which was not given. The JUDGE—WeII, I think this proves that Mr. Clere did consider that he was about placing the remains of his mother in consecrated ground, and that the Church of England service was to be per formed by a clergyman of the Church of England, and it appears that this was not the case ; and, there fore, I think the plaintiff is entitled to have his money back. The Learned Judge then gave a verdict for the plaintiff for 51. 18s. 6d. RAILWAY SHARE MARKETS. LIVERPOOL, AUGUST 26, STOCK EXCHANGE. — The sales a re— Birkenhead, Lance hire, and Cheshire 311.

All were well, and the ship had been very fortunate, having taken a prize imm e di ate ly o n her arrival off the coast of Africa, on the most remote part of which she is stationed, which accounts for no information being obtainable respecting her at Ascension by the late advices.

Sir Harry Smith and staff will go out to the Cape of Good Hope in a man-of-war, because, although several competent to afford him ample accommoda tion are fitting at this and other ports, not one can be got ready in a sufficiently short number of weeks to embark the gallant veteran ; consequently the General will avail himself of the Vernon, merchantman, one of Green's fleet.

Yesterday being the 28th anniversary of the natal day of his Royal Highness Prince Albert, was cele brated by the usual observances of bell-ringing and cannon-firing. The royal standard was hoisted at the Tower, Somerset-house, the Italian Opera, Hay market, and the steeples of the various churches and public edifices. The v essels in the docks and river, both British and foreign, hoisted their colours, and at one o'clock the Park and Tower guns fired a royal salute, which was responded to by the battery at Woolwich, Tilbury Fort, Chatham, and the ships o f war in the river.

SPI ERIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY. TI MES.—The Duc de Praslin has committed•sui cide i n the cell of his prison in the Luxembourg. The neces cities of justice and the i n dig na ti on of the people have been equally defrauded of their legitimate desist - e. How, or when, or where the wretched murderer obtained the poison which enabled him to escape s from the indignities of a trial that could have had m o result but the scaffold for himself, and infamy for tin children of the unfortunate lady whom he so barbel .ously put to death, the French journals give •us no satisfactory account. The palpable insinuations, however, of the anti-dynastic party, and the flimsy excuses Of the organs of the Chateau, seem equally to point at tile same conclusion—that it was not without permission from a high quarter that the Duc de Praslin obtained the means of putting an end to his most wretched existence. It is impossible, with every desire to be credulous, to attach much credit to the statements, put forth on authority, of the manner in which the Duke committed suicide. Up till the amount we published- to-day it was generally be lieved that laudanum was the particular poison he had employed. He was represented as having swal lowed the fatal, draught at his own house. The most eminent physicians in Paris were called in to ad minister remedies, but until yesterday evening we heard nothing of any doubt as to the nature of the particular poi Sons. More than this, no mention was made of this attempt at self-destruction until after he had been in the custody and under the watch of the police. en referring back to the accounts which we published from day to day, it will be found that there was no talk of poisoning at all until the Duke had been put under careful surveillance. M. Allard and his agents are not men from whose vigilance it is easy to escape. The prisoner could not have moved or breathed without their connivance or their permias sion. We can ourselves have no doubt that the Duke de Praslin swallowed poison on two distinct occasions. The first time was at his own house; and when he had been recalled to life by the efforts of the physicians it was necessary to call in, the means were furnished him of repairing his first failure in his cell at the Luxembourg. We have but little doubt that on the first occasion the Duke swallowed lauda num ; on the second, arsenic. An explanation put forth by the Journal des Debats, that after his arrest a phial was discovered in the pocket of his dressing gown, which had contained a mixture of laudanum and arsenic, appears utterly incredible. Do men ordinarily commingle these poisons ? No, it was ne cessary to explain away the laudanum in the first, and the arsenic in the second instance ; and, there fore, the idea was devised of the Duke swallowing a mixture of the two poisons.Sln order to free the Go vernment from suspicion, it has been further declared that the:swallowing of this compound potion took place at a period antecedent to the arrest of the Duke. The facts, - however, do not -stand so, or all the accounts we have received hitherto must be incorrect. With regard to the second dose (if a second dose was in deed taken), it must have been in the prison of the Luxembourg, under the very eye of M. Allard and his lynx-eyed agents, that the potion was taken. Can we, then, resist the conclusion that, in permit ting the prisoner to commit an act of self-destruction, M. Allard was acting upon high authority ? If this he so, we much doubt whether the Government have been well advised in permitting, the prisoner to escape from the sword of justice. It was quite competent for them to treat this as an isolated crime, in which they or their policy were no more concerned than in the atrocities of the lowest culprit who might be arraigned before the criminal tribunals. Consider for a moment the facts of the case—what had they to do with politics or political men ? A man no way distinguished in the public affairs of his country, except by the chance accident of station, in the dead hour of night entered the chamber of his sleeping wife, and with a deadly weapon, and under circumstances of peculiar cruelty, put her to death. The cause of the crime, as far as we can understand it, was that the Duchess had, on the night of the murder, violently reproached him for an improper intimacy with a lady who had been the gover • ness of their nine children. Nothing more—nothing less ;—these, in few words, seem the facts of the case. Let justice be done to the Government. It is difficult.. to ,decide how far the commission of a particular crime may be 'attriblitoPle ka r rite‘el atmosphere and influence by vachNlie guiN party is. surrounded. We•cannot; therefore, with accuracy determine whet& or no, if the Duke Praslin had been a peer ;145 the Court of Queen; Victoria, he might haie` committed a similar crime. But'certainly nothing could be more contrary to the interests of the-Government than the scandal result ing from such an act at the present moment. It is, more likely to exercise an unfavourable influence upon their fortunes than a systematic sapping and mining of the public liberties for twenty years. The Go vernment had but one only chance, which was to hand the Duke de Praslin over to the public indigna tion. The blood of the murderer as it flowed upon the scaffold would have washed away whatever share even malice might have attributed to them in his guilt. That was the only means of compurgation left them, and that they have refused. Far be it from us to join in the cry, but we foresee that this most injudicious withdrawal of a culprit from the jus tice of the public tribunals will be turned against the French Government, in order to father upon them vices other than those they possess. We do not, however, even by an insinuation, mean to attribute any share to the leading people of Paris in this most horrible and revolting crime. But it would be in vain to deny that a profound demoraliza tion does at this moment exist in the very heart of French society. Take the recent State trials, and let the French officials be judged by the opinion en tertained of them by the French public. Look again at the transactions which are now taking place at Madrid. The intrigues of a brothel have there been substituted for the policy of statesmen. It has be come impossible, from a regard to decency, to review with the severity it deserves the Spanish policy of the Rue des Capucines. We will not, however, pursue the subject further in connexion with the suicide of the Duke de Praslin. If the French Government have connived at it, they will soon find cause to re pent their error. It is not probable that we have yet come to the end of this disastrous tale. POST.—The Duke of Newcastle is assailed with sneering abuse by two " Liberal" journals because he has corrected an error promulgated by the Times regarding his conduct as a public man, and has ex pressed his indignation at the unjust aspersions which have been cast upon him. The Times stated in one of its leading articles, .some short time ago, that the Duke of Newcastle had dismissed Lord John Manners from 'the Parliamentary representation of Newark. The words were, that " Lord John did not stand in spection at Newark, and has been cashiered, and he is now looking for a more generous and more modern patron than the Lord of Clumber." This was written in ignorance of the real facts of the case, and the Times is displeased that its ignorance in any matter, whether great Or small, should be exposed. But though the Times may, after its manner, cast ridicule upon the Duke of Newcastle, the fact remains that the Times pub lished what was not true. Lord John Man ners never Owed his seat for Newark to the patronage of the Duke of Newcastle. The pa tronage under which he was introduced to the elec tors of that borough was that of the uncle of one of the present Members. The Duke of Newcastle neither gave nor took away the seat for Newark, and the Times made its statement under erroneous infor mation. But the Times has too much pride and too little honesty to confess this. It cannot, indeed, maintain that what is said on the 13th instant was true, but it evades the point, in order to prattle some very heavy pleasantry about Dukes, and to make another blunder respecting Lord John Manners. The Times, without confessing its error, attempti to ac count for it by stating that " L or d John has mani fested certain free-trade tendencies," and that " the Duke of Newcastle loathes th e system." The Times is wrong. Lord John Manners has not manifested free-trade tendencies, and the Duke of Newcastle ap proves of everything in his public character except what his Grace regards as the Noble Lord's bias to Roman ism- The Duke of Newcastle " wished him to remain" Member for Newark because he believes that " a more promising young man, one of more exalted views and i higher principles, of more inflexible integrity, with perfect amiability and all the best qualities of head and heart that can adorn the Christian andpatrio senator, would with difficulty be found in her Ma jesty's dominions." This is what the Duke of New castle says, but the Times said, on the 13th instant, that Lord John was cashiered from Newark because the Duke of Newcastle no longer approved of him. Th e Chronicle, which must tid t also labours under the to be sarcastic on the occasion, evidently . same misinformation which_m e duced the Times to say what it did on the 13th. Unquestionably, the Duke of Newcastle has very considerable influence in the borough of Newark, which influence he uses to the great advantage of the House of Commons and the c ountry ; but that both Members for Newark owe their seats to his influence is no more true than that two and one are similar numbers. CHRONICLE. —The tide of popular discontent in France threatens to rise to a still more formidable height, in consequence of the death of the Duke de PRICE SD. Praslin, under the circumstances related in anothe column. Even in ordinary times, when popular sus w ed ak t e u n a ed e , ul th a e hl e e sc h a e pe g wouldpicion h h a a v d e been a not ttributed b uat r f i r t o i e m s thewh whose e e n fi g r e ps a t n d e vengeance t of the law the atrociouspart o f a t criminal he antho it neglect on o t s n render such a contingency impossible. And if was as in the present instance, exalted station had been com bined with almost incredible brutality, the imputa tion would not have been unnatural that the autho rities looked upon suicide as one of the indefeasible privileges of the peerage, and that the opportunities left open for its commission were nowise accidental, but accorded as a special right. Of course on the present occasion such suspicions are aggravated a hundredfold; and there is no extreme of prejudice and misconception which the popular sentiment is not prepared to accept as fact. It is unnecessary to say that we do not ourselves participate even in the more modified form of these suspicions, or attribute the facility of which the Duke unfortunately availed himself but too successfully to any connivance of aforethought on the part of the authorities, or even of the inferior officials who had charge of the culprit:s person. It is impossible to believe that the. French Government could have had any part in facilitating an event which mu.s' tend not a little to add to their unpop-i— -larity, and increase the difficulties of thei'r already most uncomfortable position. It is not, however, in the isolated changes of which it may hereafter become the pretext, but in its general effect on the temper of the public mind, that the ominous nature of such an occurrence at the present juncture can be appreciated. Taken by itself, there is nothing very surprising in the fact, that once in a hundred years the peerage of England or of France should number among its members a murderer like Ferrers or like Praslin. The wonder to us is rather that there should not be more frequent instances of crimi nal atrocity among a class who are exposed to such powerful temptations, and whose career, at the age when character is formed, is too seldom subjected to wholesome restraints. Fortunate it is, indeed, that I such instances are infrequent, for society is so con stituted, that one act of this nature, committed by a man of exalted rank, not only makes more noise in the world than would hundreds of such crimes com mitted by the needy, the ignorant, and the obscure, but it is attended likewise by political consequences which would never flow from successive generations of common-place vulgar villains. Instances of all this are plenty, if we had time or space to recount them. This identical history of France, of which we are this moment chronicling the latest chapter, sup plies enough and to spare. It was not, for instance, the selfishness, or stupidity, or voluptuousness of Louis XV. that made him odious to his people, but the incredible falsehoods which they believed of him. It was not the actual pare aux ccrfs, but the imaginary baths of human blood with which that monarch was supposed to refresh his jaded powers, that first began to make the name of king abhorrent to the most loyal and devoted people in the world. It was not the average condition of the inmates of the Bastile—often not only endurable, but luxurious— but the special indignities inflicted on De Latude, that made that prison the symbol of unjust authority to such an extent, that in its fall the knell of the monarchy itself was sounded. It was not her actual pardonable coqueteries, but the abominable slanders of which Rohan was the pretext, and Egalite the abettor, that brought Marie Antoinette to the guillo tine. This is the secret of all revolutions. It is not the facts which the populace believe, but the mytho logy of incredible imputations with which they generalise those facts, that undermines that basis of public reverence on which alone all law and authority can safely rest. It is thus that the isolated offences of Teste and Cubieres, and the guilt of Praslin, may feed the fuel of the popular discontent, and become the source of the most sweeping and indiscriminate condemnation of the classes to which they belonged. It is a long time, indeed, since individual offences have found public opinion in France so morbidly jealous and susceptible.. u Not perhaps since that un paralleled case of' tho v iirstriond neektace, 141iefirjltsir, sixty years ago, clotnqged, irretrievablyslor her. life • time the fair falhe ssif Marie Antoinette last hers t ithe. respect of her people, and became to thinking and ob servant men the herald of inevitable revolution. KAT,If OF THE DUKE DE PR ASIAN; • M. de Praslin died on Tuesday afternoon, about live o'clock, in the prison of • the Luxembourg. The cause of his death has been as?ertained. It was with arsenic in a large dose that he poisoned himself, at the moment when he found the charges against him had become sufficiently grave to render his arrest and prosecution necessary. The severe voinitings which he experienced on Wednesday evening, and in the course of Thursday, appear alone to have retarded the effects of the poison, which, after being checked on Friday and Saturday, on Sunday resumed its former force. It is stated that since his arrival at the prison all attempts to obtain from him in his weak state any confession or explanation of the murder was fruitless. The Patric states that he sometimes replied to the questions which were put to him in a vague and evasive way, and at other times said, " I know no thing." It is added that he has not had an hour's sleep since the order was first given for his being considered in custody garde it vue.' The Gazette des Tribunaux, after announcing the death of the Duke, says : " 'We said yesterday that the precise moment at which the Duke put into execution his project of suicide was not known ; but from the 19th August, as we reported, a grave change in the state of his health created alarm sufficiently serious to cause M. Louis, his medical attendant, to be sent for, and, as the symptoms continued the same, and with greater violence, up to the moment of his death, it must be concluded that the poisoning took place on the 19th, and perhaps even on the first day of the preliminary examination—that is to say, at the moment at which the Duke felt, from the questioning of the magistrates, all the gravity of his situation. The physician who attended the Duke attributed his state only to the moral emotions by which he was agitated. But soon after the result of the investigation in the house gave a new direction to the appreciations of the physicians. The Duke, who had been made to quit his bedroom, was conveyed to a room on a higher story, and in a drawer of his table the broken handle of a poniard and a piece of the blade of a poniard, on which were some spots of blood, were discovered. Three little phials were also seized. In the course of this investi gation one of the agents placed under the direction of the Chief of the Secret Police, and who had aided the domestics to convey the Duke, who was too weak to walk to the other room, deposited in the hands of the Juge d'lnstructionms little bottle containing a white substance, and a cambric pocket handkerchief stained with blood. They had been found in one of the pockets of the dressing-gown. It appears that at that , moment the sufferings of M. de Praslin were such that it was impossible for the magistrates to question him on this new discovery. The contents of ithe three phials found in the table, as well as that seized in the pocket of the dressing-gown, were analysed by M. Chevalier, professor at th e E co l e d e Ph armac i e. The result of this examination was that two of the three phials discovered in the table were found to con tain laudanum, the third nitric acid, and that which was delivered by the magistrate to the agent con tained a very small quantity of white arsenic mixed with laudanum, which had left it a yellow tint. It was evidently the contents of this phial that the Duke had swallowed, for the examination of the differentvornit. morbid symptoms, and the aselysationof of that the ings, showed that there had been an ofabsorption that discovery, double poison. From the moment Andral, Rouget, and Louis were employed to all the exertions of Doctors poison, which, by reason ofthtehe g effectsimmediatelycombatu anf state of the Duke seemed conse quences. at first to improvel'he under thendinflituewnacse possible f ssi t b h l e e t o transfer him on the 21stto en ergetic treatment employed, a was Lux embourg, where, on his arrival, r ies, thereimngthep wasassag eaer,tshoenv° the he prison of made t the change his clothes. Although, o al a times, m itings took place several during believe that his state was far from being desperate, and it was possible for the committee of examination to subject him to an interrogatory. The improve ment in the state of the Duke appeared likely to con tinue on Monday; but in the afternoon the symptoms of the poisoning re-appeared with fresh'intensity, and all the resources of science remained powerless. In the night the danger made new progress, horrible sufferings tortured the Duke, and all the characte ristics of death presented themselves. Yesterday morning the Cur . e' of St. Jacques de Haut Pas was called to the Duke, and conversed with him. Soon after the sufferings returned with greater violence, and the last agony commenced. It is said that an examination of the corpse will take place to-morrow in the presence of a magistrate specially delegated. The committee of examination yesterday continued its operations, an d thi s d ay new witnesses will be heard. On M on d a y an exa mination was thenade b y . M. Broussais, th e J uge d'lnstruction, at Praslin, at the residence of Mdlle. de Luzy hotel (Laure Desportes), and at the houses of, several per sonsexa- mination was also effected by M.

Mdlle. de Luzy-Desporte was not examined yesterday; but among the witnesses who were examined, was the mistress of the school in the Rue du Harley, where Mdlle. de Luzy-Desportes resided. The death of the Duke de Praslin requires the Court to decide on the question, whether its jurisdiction, which only reached the other accused by way of etditeiity, must not terminate, and at what moment the functions of the examining committee shall cease. This is an unex ampled incident in the precedents of the. Court of Peers." I We read in the Dibats:-- f " From the morning of yesterday the state of M. de Praslin caused his immediate decease to be antici pated. Several attacks of delirium manifested them selves ; yet about four o'clock he was able to receive the last sacraments from the Cure de St. 1a cqu e dreera:etHsd tfo Pas,a o ut tlhive.e. in prese nce o f severa l persons iit.nd of the k ee p ers of the prison.

The result of this analysis was consigned in a proces-verbal, which will be published. The presence of arsenic, in sufficient quantity to cause the death of several persons, was shown in those different matters, that is to say, in the substance contained in the phial, and in the vomitings which followed the poisoning. It is announced that the au topsy of the corpse will take place this day." The Constitutionnel says— " The examining magistrate, M. Legonidee, pro ceeded on Sunday morning to the château of Vaux. The search instituted there lasted until MOn day even ing, and M. Legonidec returned yesterday morning to Paris. A great reserve is naturally imposed on us relative to what has been officially discovered, but the following is what was spoken of openly in the neigh bourhood. The magnificence of the chateau in the time of Feuquet is well known. M. de Praslin had expended considerable sums to restore to its ancient splendour this seat, spoken of by La Fontaine, Pella son, and Mme. de Sevigne. He had thoroughly re -I.baii.id the salle des gardes, which is eighty feet high. It would be impossible to depict the grief and consternation in which the country is thrown by the late frightful catastrophe : Mme. de Praslin was ex ceedingly charitable, and particularly good to the poor. Sone notes of her expenses, found in her bed room, give proof of her kindness. By the side of money given her by the Duke for her toilette, may be read, 100 f. given to the femme T— to help her to get a substitute for her son.' 50f. sent to R—, whose wife has lately lain in.' Proofs of hi'r charity are also found in the account of alms entrusted to the clergy of the neighbourhood. The misumderstanding between her and h er h us b an d , which InAl increased after 1843, when Mdlle. de Luzy entered the family, was known to every one. The domestics had spoken of stormy scenes which took 'Awe, and a sad presentiment) appeared to agitate Ma dame de Praslin,l who was always in low spirits. A femme de chambre states that the Duchess was walking in the park a month back, when the Duke came to ask her to visit the family vault at the chAteau, which had been just repaired. 'For - what . purpose ?' said she ; shall I not soon descend ther e ' for ever ?' The official search has brought to light in the Duchess's chamber a number of papers sealt4 with black wax, on the envelope of which is written in her hand, For my husband ; to be opened after my death.' These papers have not been yet opened, this mission being left to the Duke Pasquier. A bulky manuscript was also discovered, containing private memoirs which the Duchess had written, and in which she gives an account of the happy years of her marriage, with her subsequent chagrins. In the Duke's apartment the search was for a long time fruitless, but at last in the secret drawer of a cabinet was found a great number of letters, said to be from Mdlle. de ›uzy, signed Azelee,' and all com mencing b Alsese words, Mon cher Theobald.' ptkr important letters were found in the same place. It'"onla appear that a long correspondence had taken4ilace lately between the Duke and Duchess, referring principally to the misunderstanding sub sisting between Them. Some le4es of Marshal Sebastiani, sometimes relating to m04, 1 y matters, and at others repsitnandi,ns,in pretty ternls his son iniZaw-for• his cbilduct to his wife, are also) in the 'hands of justice. It is by mi s t a k e that it has been .announced that Mdlle. de Luzy is not au secret at the Conciergerie; this measure is, on the contrary, rigorously enforced in her case. She is allo!-ed walk every day for two hours in the inner when every one else is shut up. In her times ofexer cise she appears sad and pensive. The description given of her in the journals is not altogether correct... She is dressed simply, but is not wanting in distinc... tion and grace. Her figure has lost the supplenee ss and elegance of youth ; her eyes, which are encirc'.ed with a dark ring, have an intelligent expression her complexion is pale, and denotes fatigue; her haitr, of dark brown, is arrarNed with taste. She wore yes terday a nankin dress, a black scarf, and a straw bonnet with a lilac ruche. She was walking slowly, the arms crossed on the breast, and her head bent down." HORRIBLE DISCLOSURES OF D.E. PRAVITY IN NOTTINGHAM. NOTTINGHAM, THURSDAY.--Another discovery lt as recently been made, in this town, of a woman named Ann West, alias Wood, residing in Roses-row, B el lar-gate, carrying on the most horrible system of procuring abortion by the use of instruments. The facts, so far as their revolting nature will admit of publication, we subjoin. Yesterday (Friday) fortnight, Inspector Wilkinson proceeded to the house of Mrs. Boots, Nile-row, in consequence of having received information that a young woman named Sarah Henson had there been delivered of a male child, which was dead, improper means having been employed to cause its birth. He found the female in bed, and also obtained the body of the child. After leaving a man in charge of the body, Wilkinson went to Mr. Michael Browne.. the coroner, who directed him to take some medical men n q d ue ti s i t en of ca t tli e ng vroman `upon t s o up s e e r e in th te e n f d e e m n a t Wood, and apprehended h er at nine o'clock that even ing. On the following morning the prisoner's house was searched, when the instruments used in the abo minable practice were found in a box. An inquest was opened at the watchhouse, and adjourned until yesterday, when the examination fully gone into at the Exchange Hall.i,in -was 'ram the evidence then adduced, it appeared that Henson bad been directed by a young woman with whom. she had become acquainted, and who was aware of her condition, to apply to the prisoner, being told that she would do what was necessary for her for a sovereign. Henson first made application to the prisoner on Sunday, August 1, when she called upon her at her own house. The disgusting prelitnimaries being then arranged, the misguided young woman went to be operated upon the day following, the pri soner telling her that it would do her no harm, more than a hundred having been similarly dealt with. She was operated upon again on the IVednesd.ay, on da and the last time on Thursday, twice on Fri y 2 Saturday, suffering great pain on each occasion. The child was born about eight o'clock on Monday morn ing, the 9th instant, and lived until one; it wig nearly a six months' child. The body Was dread fully mangled, presenting the appearance of having been h •ng been pricked all over. One of the witneses tatt that a man with whom the prisoner cohabited , d offered her (the witness) and Henson 101. hhad each to Dublin out of the way. A verdict of to go wilful murder was returned against both is Sarah Henson, the jury, however, 'lin West aand expressing an earnest wish that the latter might be admitted evidence.
