MELANCHOLY CASE.

A Lech, now residing in Perthshire, having, in the course
of a tour through the Highlands of Scotland, fallen is with
• female of very intere.tiog appearance, whom the found to
he in n state of deep mental di rangrment, and comequest le
pining owlet all the biller exigences of that miseiable sod
unprotected situation, feels herself called upon In lay before
the public the following fiagments, which forionstily she
hai twee enalikd to gather, as connected with the fate of this
forlorn sod disconsolate wonderer. Darin the
interviews which the Lady had with this poor m•nise, it ran
easily be supposed that little could he gleaned from her
wild and incoherent wrings that could form any clue ;there.
by her friends or relations could be discovered. Instig.ted,
however, by the common feelings of humanity, to advocate
the cause of • miserable eremitic, and parbeolsrly of one
who, r van in madness sad is rags, evidently displayed • su-
periority of rank said education, and encouraged from the
sonnet* little she had learned of her cosistry and friend.,
the lady has since, through the medium of au egassient Irish
prelate, received the following iufosmation, in esrry point
corroborative of what she had perilously obtained in some
small part from the disjointed soliloquies of the maniac herself.
Those simeinents completely identify her, as well is history
as is prison, with a young lady who bad escaped from Swift's
Hospital, in which .he had heel' placed by herfriesids; unfurtu.
timely the name of her family wan unknown; but after her
escape obeli in • meteor comparative sanity, she gave the fol.
hivrihg I a herself to as Irish lady, from whwnt the
Bishop bad his informssion. She said her father vrae•n of
la the assay. but the lady has wnlaek.ly forgotten the name ;
that lur moths► was deed, sad that her father was married
spin to a Lady la the orighboorhomsd of Cork ; that she hail
was hike the posaessimi of as iodependest forgone ; thst
she because !subject to • great depressiow of spirits, which
was the ramie °flier being placed is Swift's Hospital ; that
hie &thrill family is Engl.* and that he lived geserally at
; that her mother had died wises they were on • tour
through Ireland; that the name of her maternal 'nod.
masher was Lennox; that she lived nt Firth (probably this
should he Pee ill), is. Scotland; and that she was then or her
way to Scotland, to put herself under her grawdenothres pro.
Meting. She sheerel the Inst. Lady • recipe for sore eye.,
subscribed by William Heory Downie, who attended the
hospital as surgeon when she woo there. &be has freqnestly
been heard to mention this name; but as there are, too doubt,
mistakes is mail sit the aliove particular, all attempts to
disetner her relations in &Oland have proved utterly we-
sseeesofol.

The oufortioiate Amide whose sad fete forms the sohket
of this inelsorholi deunl, is wove so unprotected sande'. r in
Athol. subsisting on the sieeessarily scanty Gee which the
boosswity sod lowly means of the cottager can bestow. This
aeconot a mut into the world with the earnest hope that
simmer or later it may meet the rye of her finally sir friend..
To MINI, from misery ibis poor errstore, and to shelter her
from the viretchcd stale in whirls she has been imlured. 14

Near the spot where the ancient vrsiol was disco-
