THE OUTRAGE UPON YOUNG FEMALES.—Since
Arthur Robert Willoughby Wade's apprehension
a great many reports have become current with regard to
his past career, which are far from flattering ; and there
seems to be very little doubt that for some years he has
been leading a loose discreditable life. When first he ar-
rived in Dorking, now several years since, he was the very
picture of " hard. upishness," and no one had any-
thing to say to him until Mr. Evelyn took him by the
hand. Then he started upon a new existence, and being
appointed adjutant of the 33 Administrative Battalion of
Surrey Rifles, he became all at once a man of some import-
ance, and obtained introductions into society of such a class
that he succeeded in engaging the affections of Miss Cole,
a lady of good connections, whom he married. By this
lady he has had three children, one of whom has died since
this sad affair was brought to light, and was buried on Satur-
day last, at Docking. As a married man his conduct has
been so bad that his wife has left him on several occa-
sions, and she had only returned to him the last time,
about six months ago, when he was arrested on these dis-
gusting charges. During the period of his wife's absence,
Wade lived in open adultery with his c,ok, whom he re•
presented to his wife as a married woman, and this cook
was actually confined of a child at his house at Cotman-
dene. Wade's income as adjutant was probably about
£3OO a year, and there was a likelihood of that being
increased by about another hundred under the new
regulations. He was making preparations, therefore,
for improving his style of living, and increasing his estab-
lishment to an extent commensurate with his augmented
income. The small furnished house at Cotmandene, hired
at £4O a year, was about to be abandoned, and a much
larger house, with beautiful grounds, lately occupied by
Miss Sumner, had been taken in South-street, at a rental
of £6O a year, unfurnished. A great many men had been
engaged for some weeks in painting and decorating, and at
the time when Wade's arrest put an end to all these pro-
jects, a man had been hired as coachmen, and everything
seemed to indicate that a person with comfortable means
and a respectable establishment was about to take up his
abode at the house in South-street. It now transpires that
Wade had never paid the men engaged on the decorations
a single penny; the coachman has been left by himself in
a cottage adjoining the residence, and he does not know
where to look for his wages; the horse which Wade rode
was lent by Mr. Evelyn; and it is said that he owes debts
in Dorking to the amount of several hundred pounds,
which have been contracted within the last twelve months.
Wade having been arrested on Friday, his wile, for whom
the deepest commiseration is expressed, left Dorking on
the following Monday, and returned to her relatives at
Wimbledon. The child, wnose death is referred to above,
was taken from Wimbledon to Dorking on Saturday last to

TALLEYRAND AND MADAME DE STAEL ... PRATTLING
—According
to Mr. Dendy's account of them in his
newly published " Legends of the Lintel and the Ley.o_.
' Toujours gaffe, toujeurs la
belle,'
whispered Talleyrand,
drawing his chin within his magnificent cravat, ' and how
porte themselves the L k 'oc s. ' lres hen, and greet you,
Monsieur d'Autun or Augustodonum, for cutting the
revolu—.' Talleyrand frowned away the other syllables.
`Bab, bah I you are thinking even now more of a mitre
nest a princedom than la libertd cc pas, nest ce pas,
Monsieur ?' ' Thoughts may not be spoken, Madame,
speech was given to conceal them." Par exampla (sic),
when you glorified Fanny's Evelina, and made me, your
poor Corinne, so jealous.' I may love Evelina, Madame,
yet worship Corinne ; I may kneel to Juno. yet smile oh
Venus.' Then give me the smile ; love is dearer far to
woman's heart than worship.' ' Then, Madame, wear
your robe long to hide your bas bleu.'
CHURCH PLATE.--A curious and interesting dis,
covert' of ancieot church ornaments, according to
the Atheneum, has been recently made at D=ai. Accord..
ing to the French papers, the students of the formerly
celebrated college at that town secretly buried two coffers
full of valuable church plate at the time of the great French
Revolution. The secret, which was carefully kept for many
years, has recently been divulged. A corps of engineers,
who now occupy the buildings formerly used by the college,
searched for the hidden treasures, and they have already
succeeded in disinterring various silver vases bearing the
names of Fresidents of the College, and that of Philip
Howard of Norfolk, with the (late 1744. The search is being
prosecuted for other articles supposed to have been also
buried.
