FiITAL EFFECTS OF LOVE.

(EITRACT PROM

A lovely mid iotereating girl, about eighteen years of age,
residing with bee parents in the neighbourhood of Valen-
einm, had conceived an attachment for a young officer in
the Frealchemy. On the affair befog made helms to her
(new& they diaappruved of the commxion, and the yesog
lady received the moot strict injuectioa never to see her lover
again. All powerful love, is 't►is, as in sway other instances,
tsisimphed wirer parental asolourity, sad in spite °flocks, ban,
aid a eumelmat @timidity.. they contrived, by an abbreviation
of the loom usually diverted to sepia'', to meet in private.
and enjoy that society which they deemed essential to their
exiateuce. These nocturnal meetings had coot timed fur a long
period andisturhed, when some immoral traits in the character
of the young officer having been discovered by the lady, she
with a prudence nut to be expected from her heretofore r ish
conduct, dispatched a letter to biro, requesting a disctloti•
nuance of his visits in future, and also of all intercoms.
between them; min the receipt of the letter, it is reported
that 'teammate almost frantic, and, in his (.cosy, so seriously
iejored the messenger who brought at, that his life was for
some time despaired of. Fur several days after he observed a
aolkmgloominess, during which time esteems that he form-
ed oar of the must diabolical designs that ever entered
the iinseinailon of man, and which he sought in perpetrate
in the following mantle. i—Arini d wills a short dagger, he
sersommated ionamerable obstacles, and fluidly succeeded in
stereting himself su a small ante-c►amber which communi-
cates with the boil.rinenuflais intended victim; having waited
a considerable time, and supposing her asleep he advanced to
the door, and opened it with great creation, when he imme•
diately shrunk back on observing her kneeling at her scats-
towel devotion ; his inward sense of seelitude struck forcibly
to his heart, a convulsive trembling seised him, respiration
Meanie difficult, and pressing his band against his burn-
lug forehead, be leant for support against the wainscot;
■t
this instant he would have aboiduned his design and
Bed, but there was uo passage but through the room iu
which she lay. The pangs of deapist d love again rekin-
dled the dying embers of his dreadful deteratinatioo, and
with a desperate effort he gala opened the door. Tee most
prat:surd silence reigned within the room, which the faint
rays of a lamp, placed ow a table near rbe bed, feebly en.
bedewed ; wusheatblug the dagger room his veal, he stepped
into the room ; the tread of his own foot startled his, and he
looked around the room fearful of observance; his heart
beat with unusital violent., mad with a trembling hand he
drew aside the curtains; the of his affection
lay alsontieriug beftre him, t►e smile of innocence
plays d upon her curates ince, ■od her busy fiery
lamed to be represewlieg acme plessiug dream; he
trimmed over, and pointing the ',egg, ir to her bosom, he
*veiled his head, and bearing down his arts, it glided to
her heart; a faint scream escap d her I ps, amid in woe
semiarid her soul ceased to inhabit its earthly tenement. The
wretch stood transfixed with boater at the enormity of the
deed he had committed, sad a momentary insensibility cu-
ssed, and on his reviving his soil sickened with horror at
the sight of the blood oozing from the wuuntl through the
bedclothes; the paten. ss of death had already usurped the
ruseste hue of her clam ks, her features were distorted, and
not a vestige of her fanner self remaiued : the contemplation
was too dreadful fur him to leader*: seizing the dagger, which
had faller from his hand on the bed, hr plunged it in his own
bosom ■nd fell to Ike ground. His groans brought some of
the servants to the room, bat they immediately tied back
again on beholding the dreadful spectacle, and it was not
until after a considerable lapse of time that assistance was
procured. Tee abrupt relation of the beart•rendiug event to
the permits has had mach au effect that their lives are eve■
now considered in imminent danger.

The wretched man huuered for three days is dreadful
mousy, during which time ha rave the abuve relatiuo, and
then died a victim of his usgovernable passiuu.

LATE FIRE IN PRINCES-STREET, SOHO.

Yesterday repining whilst the firemen sod labourers were
employed digging aft•r the unfortunate sufferers who pe.
rushed I. she late items retire ACC ■t the house of Mr. Myers,
they discovered the mutilated females of two individuals,
and the spectacle which they presented was truly horrifying:
the head., a.ms and the whole of the limbs were burst off,
sad nothing remained but the upper part of the body, which
was so stuffed with rubbish, that it was scarcely distinguish.
able whether they were human remains or Dot. From the
situation is which they were fogad, it is very probable
that they are the remains of Mrs. Po and her daughter, who
lodged in Mr. Myere's home, and perished together is the
flames. The bodies were carried its a shell to the bole.
boom of St. James's parish, fee the Coroner's Inquest.
There are other bodies still is the cries, and the labourers
are busily employed in doggiest alter them. Mr. Durrett,
who was au artist, sud his child, arc not yet forud.

Between elms and twelve o'clock on Thursday night an
alarming fier broke out in the back premi.es of Mr. Turner,

that and the adjoising bosses. &teem arrived, sad being
well worked and supplied with water, after three hours MC.

elnsnage was done to the premises, and one of the firemen had
• nanow escape.

Ewinnonatt.—Between eleven and twelve o'clock on San-
day night, ass ..larniing fire broke out iu the second floor of •
hoes. go the Cowewie, opposite the Back Stairs, which
speedily communicated to the other floors, and in a short
Ouse the whole wee in a blase. Os, the first alarm the en-
gines from the differeut Inottranee Companies repaired to the
spot, and • strung body of the police, but all their efforts to
arrest She progress of nee devouring element were unavailing.
The whole house is one mass of ruins, and haring Leen inha-
bited by a rancher of pour families, they have nearly lost the
whole of their furniture. Vi het adds greatly to the eateeti,y
is the lulus of lives on the occasion. The fire breaking out
okra the people were in their lord., it bad attained so great

prised of it, that our family in She fourth tier were cut off

The Cotton market for the last two Jays has bees in a
slate of great depression, owing to a large sale being de-
clared by the E. I. Company ; uearly 5,000 bags arc al-
ready declared, and it is anticipat.sl there will be a very
large sale ; the trade believe that it will not exceed 25,000
bags. There have scarcely any sales of Cotton been made
since the declaration. The letters from Liverpool this
morning are very flattering; on Wedoesday above 4,000
bags Cotton were sold ; the market was exceedingly brisk,
and Boweds and klaranhanes id. per lb. higher.

SUGAIt.-1 be Sugar market this week has been steady :
a public sale of St. Lucia Sugars went off a shade below the
currency by private contract, but the whole was a very in-
ferior parcel. Several purchases of low soft browses have
beea made at prices 6d. a Is. per cwt. lower; the ether qua-
lities fully support the former prices.
Towards the close of the Sugar market to day, there were
extensive buyers, the business dime was to ■ very unusual
extent, the purchases were made at the former priers.
The shippers have lately been (hinted from buying Re-
fined Sugars, from the linfivuuroble reports of the Conti-
nental markets, sad from the very low prices of forceps
Sugars; the home cowsnmp of site mustily however is
most extensive, and appears rather to increase: the prices
of Refined since our last may be stated Is. a 2s. lower.

Foreign Sugars have been wild L. a 2s. higher this week;
good yalluw Havanuah 27a. Bd. and 113+., good brows ?Ss.

The late extreme low prices attract the attention of the
shippers.
