" DEAR Cu ARLOTTE—T herewith send you ' The Fortunes of
Nigel,' 1 could not get—Ll have not been out shooting since 1
sent you the last birds, or I would have sent you some]—it before.
1 have now only sent the first volume, as some one is reading the
seeond—[mind to write as soon as you cad, and tell me about the
picture not ao, die. And remain assured]—but you shall have that
by the time you have finished the first. Ido not suppose thatt.
[dearest Char. of my most unalterable love, as long as " it le not
so." Once more adieu, my dearest]—it is any secret that poor Airs.
Kingden at the College is almost gone. ' Peace to her manes.'
—[bird the k for received on your nest parcel.]—With
kind love to Betsey and Catherine.
" I remain, dear Charley, your afrectionate. _

" JOHN."

" Does Mr. G. or Cat. know of my writing to you so often ? If
they do, they will suspect something. Does not your mother think
you are happy ? Does she know of our loving each other—or does
she ever say anything about it ? Mind and answer these questions.
Write soon, my dear bird, and tell about the picture. I have made
a amquest of a very handsome fascinating young lady (excuse vs.
city), but I do not cares rush for her ; she is gone to London, ne-
ver to return. The condition is, that if ever I can keep you away
from here—that is, this country—you will swear to leave every thing,
G. among the, rest, and follow me : if you would, I would never
marry any body. but you. Tell. me, will you swear ? Tear of
this, and burn it instantly. Say likewise, 'lt is not so.'l Do
you slap with G. when he is at home always ? I laid awake till
four this morning thinking of you, and building U. I. T. A., and
thinking that you were perhaps in his arms. D--n, I had a
terrible fall hunting yesterday, In leaping over three hedges and a
ditch all at once. The horse leap'd so hish that he hit my head
against the branch of a tree, and sent me off b;ckwards. I was not
hurt, but was first in at the death. Adieu, my beloved Charlotte;
believe me your sincere friend and much attached John. I heard
your beauty praised so much yesterday. How pleased I was; and
if I was married to you, how proud I should be of my handsome
wife. You're a rogue. Write u soon as possible. Farewell,
dearest beloved Charley."

"My Dearest Dear Beloved Charlotte--I did not think, dearest
Charlotte, I should have felt the parting from you for so short a
time so severely as I hare. My heart is almost broken, more par-
tieularly as I bod you are not parting flout him. I thought how it
would be—you are going to Ryde, and he will be there to If he
stays there (do not think me unkind), I shall not write to you ; for
I understood you were going there on purpose to part (rant him ;
but if you are still to live on as his wife, Ind he to be there with
you, I hays nothing to do with you ; I told you I would not have
any thing more to say to you unless you left him ; but if he is to
be there with you, and sleeping with you as usual, you may as well
have stayed bare. Do not go to the ball ; when that is over, I beg
ofyou to write to me. Nothing shall tempt me to go to the M.
Meeting. I dare say he will be there, and try and persuade you to
go to the ball ; If you do go, I know what. I/o not, pray, forget
mo, or suffer him to do it. •It is so.' Let what will happen, I
can never love you less. I beg of you to write as soon as possible
to him, saying you do not wish eve! to come back here to him
again, or live with him any where. God bless you, my beloved
Charlotte, ever ever yours. JOHN.
" I will seal my letter to you with ' Mary.' If you love me,
remember your vow at Church, never to let any one pay you atten-
tion oe study.' Mind and tell me how F—y and Mama are.
I shall expect a letter Sunday morni. I shoal look forward to
thin time with the greatest anxiety. Mind and look towards Salis-
bury at nitre o'cleek, and at the moon if there is one. Pray don't
forget ma. God bless you. Adieu."

The Commas' SERGEANT, on the pert of the defendant, ad.
dressed the Jury; and in a most ingenious speech, contended that
ihe plaintiff was entitled to but trifling damages, Inasmuch as the
defendant instead of being the seducer, bad himielf been seduced
by the lady.
The Jury in a few minutes returned a verdict for the plaintiff--
Damages 6001.
