Yesterday Mr. Self. received a somber of letters Buskin
in the highest ternie of the character of lbs. M`Dermot.
Amongst them was au from Mr. B. Frederick L Bleat,
from the =ears" Scarborough. He stated that he had
knows bet four years, aad had first been attracted by her
=edema end attention to • poor protestant family who
wreak, sad he found, upon Is further acquaintance with
her, that the hod bees unremitting in her good services to
other proms lodging is the same how. During the essay
omasious that he had of moverniag with her is his visite to
the poor persons alluded Se, she deserlbed half as•• luke-
warm catholic. I. ocuideratioa of the kindlier of disposi-
tion she bad manifested, he bad subsequently given her some
employment as a needlowomao, in which the acquitted bor.
self most sedidactorily. One day Mrs. ill•Dennot tame
to hint and informed him that ber daughter wished to
make some communicaties to him, bat her courage
felled her. He amid he deathd be very glad to MN her if the
girl herself wished it, bat that be bad no desire to attempt
to unwed her. Mrs. M•Deraiot said her daughter was very
desirous, and he bad interviews with her, the details of
which he could not give fully, as be bad forgotten them.
He could, however, tell the peers' drift and bearing of
them, which were as follows —Be: asked her if she came of
her own will, and she answered, " Yee," or implied so. He
then told her he bad so dabs to speak aphid her former
teachers, and fa his oonvenation he carefully avoided that
I eeriest ; but whoa she did bring it forward he begged her
to be charitable toward. them. She said she was terribly
afraid of the " fathom" sad that many • time she had
trembled is her chair when she heard the footstep of a
priest along the eorridor ; and when he asked her why, ohs
said, "Became the prim= could withhold the forgives's, of
her sins." She deekred that she was eo afraid of them that
when she saw ow of them in the strut she ran away from
him for fear of his stopping to question, her. She seemed
very desirous of becoming a protestant, bat he did not
think from his coeuenstioe with her that it was founded on
any conviction of the truths of Protestantism, or the error
of Rominiem bat ore • strong, horrid dread of the priest
which had takes hold of her mind, in which there was •
mixture of awe and reverses= On questioaing her about
her education at the catholic school, the send she bus bat
little of reading or writing ; they never learnt anything, but
mainly spent their time in bowing the priest's stories at
=dote and miracles. He saked her if she believed them, to
which she replied, "that the pies= had told her the Holy
Ghost spoke through theca, and so of muss she
believed them." He (Mr. Blunt) felt convinced that
she was • weak, childish girl, most featly led, end the
stroagest feeling of say sort that she had was of the
fear of the priests. From his 'conversation with her,
he felt hers was • owe fue which it would have been
improper to have urged say slam =gamuts, as she could
neither uoderstand them nor ears about them, sad be,
therefore, °sly addressed her simply and kindly, not at all
recognising her as • moved ; and all he did was to lend her
• book on the subject. At her mother's request be got her
• Bible, for which she subscribed about oao-half, sad she
then said she did not wish to go any more to the Oratory, and
advised her not to go. He felt it would be playing fart sad
loose if she went to Si.. Luke's, Chelsea, bed the
also, when she observed that she was in the habit c=
ing St. Luke's. He suggested that she should all as Hiss
Mut, the rector's sister, and join her Bible clam, which
be believed she did. Although his conviction was that she
was foolish, weak, and silly, be thought her honest,
steady, respectable and truthful. Her mother agreed with
him es to her weaklier of mind, and mentioned that be,
father had bees imam= He always thought that the loather
was properly anxious for her daughter's welfare, and was •
good mother, of whom his *sloe us very favourable.
He had seen bar under trying circumstances calculated
strikingly to impress him with that opinion. He bad never
seen or heard anything to her prejudice. Wbes able to
work, she bad dose her hem to procure • living, bat when
driven by aeon dty she had asked for and obtained relief.
She bad of late &mibed herself as • protestant, and he
bad heard her argue against ameanish errors, but he never
directly or iodirently sought to turn her, and bed spin sad
spin pointed out that he neither wanted to infiumwe her or
her daughter, but when the mother asked him to see her
daughter, and she really come to seek his help, he had not
, retied it. .
