A TALK OF MYSTERY.

We have just received a letter from one of our
correspondents in Clevelaud, respecting a deeply-
atlecting occurrence which lately took place in
that part of the country, and which has already
become a topic of conversation. The Rev. Wm.
Gray, of West Rouniosi, bring a few weeks ago at
Middleton-one-Row (a small watering place situat-
ed on the banks of the Tees, about four miles from
Croft), at the lime when an unknown Lady tiled
under peculiar circumstances, he made some inquiry
into the subject. Our correspondent forwarded oil
the requisite inforinatioo, sod though it was re-
ceived too late for the last Herald, the following
particulars are thought worthy of present hist :
On the 25th ult. a Lady, between thirty‘aiiil forty
years of age, arrived in a stage coach at the Twine
Inn ; a Gentleman, who also arrived on the outside
of the said roach, paid great anemia's to her, and
they passed the night together as man anal wife.
The Gentlemen, who was a tall stout mast, with a
mark or donple on Isis left cheek, proceeded to
York the faowing day, and soon after returned
southward. The Lady 'drove at the same time in a
chaise (fur which the Gentleman paid) to the water.
ing-place above mimed, and took lodgings adjoin-
ing the Sulphur Wells, in that village. She seem-
ed deeply dejected ; her deportment was mild, geol.
teel, and modest, and her voice PViret ; she appeared
to have lid a very superior education. Soon after
her arrival she wise taken ill, and a medical Geode-
-01411 was sent for, who, after attending her sums
tune, requested her to disclose her name or mm-
-11,360116; hut this request, though several times
urged, she pesemptorily refused to comply with.
Her illness increased, and in a few days she breathed
her last. •
The prolusions' gentleman who attended gave
it as hie opinion that she died of grief alone. A
letter was found upon her, bearing the Newcastle
post mark, from a person of the Haute of Whitt.,
reqnesting her to meet him at the Tontine Inn as
the had done before, whets they went to Guis-
brought; the letter further stated, that it he did
not meet her, she was to direct a letter to a certain
gentleman in Newcastle, to be left at the post-
office ; anti also a request that she would
hook herself at the coacti-office as Mrs. White, or
to use no name whatever. Five pounds were found
in her pocket. Our correspondent in Cleveland
ooncludes with the following words-6, Who the
patties were, or whence they came, is still a mys-
tery; but should I loom ally thing further, I will
resat') inform you."—( hark timid.)

The beantifill Gothic gateway, the only remnant
of the once flourishing nod Abbey et
Tewkesbury, the property of the Earl of ESSEX,
hav, we understood, ieceutly been doomed to the
ignominious fate of brio,/ white-wasked ! Whut
further indignities this isiterrating edifice, which
has so long withstood the ravages of time, is d.s.
tined shortly to undergo, it would .be difficult to
conjecture ; but surely ,the noble and enlightened
owa,,f thereof will evince a just iudigisatitos at this
tact of Vididelisses, and peseta the tuitcloevous
