On Saturday evening people were much moved
on the snivel o(the Folkestone boat, as one of the lady par
singers, very intmesting in appearance, and apparently •
about twenty, wan ypeechiess and unable to move. as

dying, and requested further advice. The two doctore

suited together anti preeenbed what they wandered necee-
eery le be done. But the young lady continued apparently
senseless; certainly she spoke not, end gradually sank, ex-
piring on Sunday night. But now come the remarkable feats
of what, without =explanation, seems atrocious cruelty. On

bosom, ea If she were a tele of merchandise, stating
that she was going to her brother-in-law, Mr. in

that her Wary, (she memo to have been a governess at
Mrs. C—'•,) was paid up to the 6th of December, and that
her purse contained 7i., which was sewed in her gown ow
her bosom. From this, enquiries were made as to who put bar
on board the boat, the answer wee that she arrived at Folke-
stone by the; express four o'clock train, was then speec,hket

was placed in the ladies' cabin, received every attention, but
neither spoke nor stirred during the peerage. The queetioa
now mime, was she in this helpless state when put into the
train at London-bridge ? Who put her ? Who paid he
fare ? But we mud ask the question, what brute, in humeri
ahem, could send that interesting looking female in her help-
lees conditkra from London to Amiss. without a fined or
compaaion to look after her or attend upon her? It appears
that Men C—, in whose lemma she taught, has two &ugh-

pay the travelling swum of two to Amiens, and eta might
have engaged a nurse to attend her at least to 801
where they might have waited the arrival of her eiptenr=

Satiate of every humane mind. It seems that some one at
the London station gave the guard a sovereign to pay fur my
refreshment she might require en route.
The whole affair mews one of the most heartless that we
have heard of since that of Mr. Sloane. We should net
