LORDLY IMIIIOII7Y. A correspondent, writing
from it amen villege in Hampshire', not a hundred milts'
from Winclitield, communicates the following fact., for
the truth of which he solemnly vouches :—A poor but
hard-working inan, wills a large family, reeides in the
village, awl is in the eineloy of the lord of the manor
in that district. The eldest daughter of this poor man
went to • situation in Londou, and while there formed
an unfortunate attachment toe young mem This man,
bawdy taking advantage of his power over her feelings,
seduced and afterwards abandoned her. The poor girl
maintained herself in London for some time by dispo-
sing of her little property and clothes, after which,
driven by grief end ditties,, she returned to her parents
who received her kindly, and did all in their power to
alleviate her •flliction. In due time she was delivered
of a child, and was recovering her strength as feet as
cou'al be wished alter her cuintinenseut, At this junc-
lord" and hely heard of her LA Lnpse from
virtue, and her ladyship deemed it right to institute a
rigid aclutainy into tl.e affair. Soon after the young
woinau was confined, therefore, she called in her car-
riage at a neighbour's cottage. Sh Owl tent for the
mother of the unfuttousite young woman, gave her a
most severe reprimand, and told her that so soon as her
daughter was able to be removed, she (the another), was
to turn her out of the cottage sod never again allow
her to enter it; and if she (the nnother) did not consent
I toned carry unt her ladyship's lextructions, the latter
I would saute her husband to he slimed-awl from his situ-
ation, and the whale &mil turned out of their cottage.
The 'mother, in her distress of maid, told her daughter
lof her ladyship's command. The young woman was so
oserwlielnunxl witta gnef and extreme sorrow at the
Wein of being driven out of her mother's house, that it
caused her milk to leave her, she became delirious, and
diet' in a few days broken hearted. The mother, in her
distress Mid angniali at the death of her daughter,
wished some relatious to follow her to the grave; but
it appears that these relations had, in sourer way or other
offended the very kind and merciful lord of the incisor;
consequently the mother, not wishing to offend his
lordship, wrote to idea to ask permission for her rehi-
Lives to attend the funeral. His lordelinp graciously
replied that lie did nut wish to be too hard with tier.
He would grant leave for the wife of her relation to
follow, but be could not permit the Innehand to do so,
nor could he allow hint to come to their cottage ' • and
in order that his belnesta might be strictly carried out,
his lordship stated that he would give the bailiff an
imperative order to watch and see that the husband was
not present. The young woman was buried at the
parish church on Friday.
ELoesneder or A RICH HZIRI[BB wirn A VALET.—
Almther of these startiMg occurrences --which roust be
regal-4.las if-antenna% of tree love—lnsa just taken place
in the county of Monmouth. By an act of carelessness,
which shall be mentioned, on the part of the loving
couple, we have bevel enabled to publish the following
brief particulars. It appears that a young lady, of
fascinating appearance, with her parents, the lady's
maid, and the valet, left their residence near one
of the most nourishing towns in the county, and in
close proximity to the county if Glamorgan, about
a month ago, for a temporary sojourn in the fashion-
able city of Bath, then to visit the abode of auother
family of influence. During the term it would appear
that the yourie lady, rumoured to be about nineteen
years of age, formed a deep attachment to the valet of
tine gentleman with wh she and her parents were
visiting, and unable to seise a personal opportunity to
convey her feelings to the fortunate admired one, she
at last bit upon a plan to carry out her object, and
that was the use of pen, ink, and paper. The letter
MIRA directed in as held a hand as she eould disguise,
and posted at the Bath post-office, and in due course
reached the gentleman's attendant, In that
letter he was desired to address • reply
reply to two initials at the pond office, and we have
good reason to know that he was only "too happy" to
obey the injunctiene of his sdruirer. In the letter ad-
dreseed by the lady he was told that "if be could
reciprocate her love she would he in • position to
enable them to live in sweet e ounmunion, independent
of the whole world." Ilis reply was to the effect
" that he confessed he had, before the receipt of her
letter, funned an equal attachment for her, as she had
been pleased to form towards him, but that, in his
amnia' situation, lie durst never have attempted to
acquaint her with the circumstance." The lady hail
written a second letter, which was not unfortunately
unielaid with these we have seen. Tine fair damsel and
parents, as well as the male and female attendants,
returned to their pretty country residence after a visit
of about ten days, and the first-named had not been an
inmate of her father's house more than • fortnight
before she express.al • wish to spend • few days with •
relative in • quiet village near Gloucester. The re-
quest was complicit with, and the lady took her
departure. Of course the lover at Bath was made
acquainted with her move, and in answer to • mons
made the best of his way tin the picturesque village in
question, having previously obtained "leave of absence'
for • few slays to visit his parenta. After the young
I aly had hem with the friend a fortnight, tine parish
clergyman was called upon to unite "the unknown" in
the bonds of holy matrimony, after the performance of
which ceremony the two started off to spend their
honeymoon. Where they went to after passing a
night in Bristol is Out yet known. That they went to
Bristol there is not • doubt, for it was the fact of three
letters being left in their bedroom in their haste that I
has led to an acqusintance with the facts related. The
lady on attaining the age of twenty-one, has, by the
will of an uncle, £71.10 per annum in her own right.—

CONSLUVATIVF POLICY—An agricultural dinner at
Horsham on Wednesday can attended by several
intuit:ere of Pal lianicut. Xt. Seymour Fitzgerald,
who presided, made the American question the topic
of his speech, and declared that the Conservative party
would give Government CI, " unhesitating and un-
support." Colonel Bartlela, X P., and Mr.
Cave, Ml'., also gave expression to their opinions on the
*awe sul.ject ; the latter taking a Secession view of the
war in America.

rliZ PKACE Soctevr.—The committee of the Peace
Society have addressed a memorial to Lord Palmerston,
urging that the difficulty between England and America
should, if necessary, be submitted to arbitration. They
quote the resolution adopted by the Paris Conference of
1854, and also allude to the Fidieries Convention of the
dime year, by which the two countries specifically
bound thenoe-Ives to refer any dispute which might take
place in connection with the subject of that treaty to
friendly arbitration. The premdenta than cited are
very much to the point,

Another murder is reported on hoard an American
ship, the victim being the first mute, and the murderer
• common seaman. The provocation which led to the
perpetration of the crime seems to have been trivial.
A few angry words poised between the turtles, and the
murderer's knife was out, and in the next minute was
in the mate's Inert. The ruffian was handed over to
the authorities on the arrival of the chip at Liverpool,
to await his transfer to the officials of the American
Uovernuient.

Housekeepery are very desirous to avoid the disap-
pointment that is found to arise from the absurd custom
the Chinese have of colouring Tea. Notwithstanding
the practice is no generally condemned by tesedrinkera
it appears by the evidence given before the House of
Coalitions Committee that it iv continued, owing to the
tea-producers and the merchants finding it profitable, for
the Chinese by using the 'Awing' powder on the wintery
growths as on the heat, make the common brown leaves
look equal, and in that state they are panned off as the
the early spring growths at greatly increased profit,
much to the consumer's loos and annoyance, as the
colouring matter on the leaf always washer off and is
drank with the infusion at the table. This Econvenience
is avoidt-tt by I,ing Horainton's Pare Tea : the Oren,
is of a natural ulire hue,—of Idatiak ;it. Mack in not
wade intensely dark, therefore the Pare teas are whole.
