It appears that a certain Miss Hun Joszazoth
HILLY wsa a freed beauty, and also a very ambitious
and designing woman; and it was alleged that she,
with the assistance of Lord CLAWRICADDIS, formed the
project of allying herself to Mr. HmeDcocx, a gentle.
man of considerable property in the county of Galway.
Accordingly, in the month of December, 1824, shortly
after Mr. HANDCOCZ onto of age, this ambitious and
'designing beauty accomplished her object. A mar.
tinge was celebrated; the *states, after a life use,
were settled on the children in tail, with a
jsitettwe of 7001. a year for the widow. Mr. HAND.
COCK'S friends were averse to the marriage, yet it took
place, and three daughters were the issue. Of those
three unhappy ladies, it might almost be said "it were
better that they bad never been born." Their short
sad history is one unbroken tale of misery and pane-
cation. Told even in the cold language of the Chan-
cery lawyer, it makes the blood run cold, and we
would not pain our readers by its reproduction if we
did not believe it to be a duty we owe to society.
From 1828 to 1840 there were no further children.
In this latter year, in consequence of a suspicion of
too great an intimacy between Lord CLANRICARDI
and Mrs. HANDCOCK, there was a separation, sad
Mr. HANDCOCK went to France. In October of that
year Mu HANDoocx was the guest of Lord CLactar-
wean at Portant= Castle. This fact seems, how-
ever, to have escaped the recollection of Lord CLAN.
RICABDZ, as his affidavit states that it was impossible
for him to have seen Mrs. HANDCOCY during that
year, as he puma the winter in Russia. A deed of
separation was executed in July, 1841, and in the
same year, when Mrs. BANDOOCK was on the
continent, and after she had been some time
separated from her husband, the gave birth to
an infant, the present respondent, but no one
could say who was his father or when he was
born. In 1842 HANDCOCK returned a dying man to
England, and took up his abode in Michael's-road,
Brampton. There was reason to believe that when
he tint cams there he was not anxious to have
renewed intentness with Lord CLAtaticeima or hie
wife. Lord CLANIRICARDE, however, prevailed upon
him to nett of hie good offices. He reconciled the
husband and father, a few days before his death in
1843, to his discarded wife and deserted children,
Which of us would have thought, as we returned
through Michael's-road, Brampton, on a winter's eve
in 1843, discontented perhaps after a day of fruitless
toil, that at that moment a good Samaritan, in the
shape of a fashionable Marquis, was in that humble
suburb, restoring the outcast, reconciling the
estranged, and partaking of the exquisite enjoy
meat of witnessing the happiness of which he was
himself the author. Alas ! there is another side to
the picture ! Hear the Arroarav Grimm :—" A
notion had been served on the respondent in this
cause to produce a diary which, the eldest daughter,
Joerenthi, appeared to have kept, and he (the
ATTORNEY HENERAL) had examined it, and any-
thing more touching than the account so given by
that young lady of the miserable scenes she thee
witnessed, he never heard. The father was in the
custody of a spy in the pay of Mrs. HANDCOCK, hog
object being to acquire the custody of those obildrea
and the control of their fortunes. It was known
that Mr. MAXDCOCK had made a will by which le
brother-in-law was to have been entrusted with the
most delicate office sf protecting his children, and
this spy was placed about him, and, like persons is
his condition, he endeavoured to betray the person
he was employed to betray and the person who em-
ployed him, his object being to obtain a will for
himself. However, the daughter was brought to
the father by Lord CLANRICAIDE from day
to day until his affections were aroused
and weakened, and he was prevailed upon to add a
codicil to his will in Jay, by which the unhappy
gentleman appointed the wife he had discarded the LORD 101121 RtideELL'll BELL ON EDUCATION.—

there. The reasons assigned by Lord Jomr for
quitting the ABERDEEN Cabinet—the cautious and
reluctant manner in which he gave his assent to the
Austrian treaty—and the whole tenor of his political
life, afford a guarantee that, in these renewed nego-
tiations, the honour and interests of England will be
safe in his hands.

Again, the acceptance of this mission by Lord lonw,
and the request of Lord Etuinurrox that he would
undertake it, are strong proof. of the sincerity of
the professions of mutual cordiality and confidence
publicly made by these two statesmen. From their
continued good understanding and co-operation the
country will lock for satiefsetory remits.

Oar own opinion so to the probable results of the
negotiations about to be opened at Vienna remains
unchanged. We may, however, congratulate the
country that they are to be conducted by a
trutworthy minister. At the same time it may be
allowed us to remind the new Paintrat that the

of active hostilities in the Crimea u soon u the
