reception. Of course, if Idogo to Brighton to-night,
I shall call on you earlier. I have already so arranged
matters that I need dot leave till Monday night. I
am most impatient to sea you, and until I de, dearest,
believe me, as ever, Your's,
GULIELMO.
March 2d, Monday night.
How very abruptly I terminated my letter to day
dearest Matilde, but the circumstances were peculiar.
I have been throughout the day employed, there was a
thread to unravel, and with my present feelings I could
not, know a moment's peace until some certainty, or
supposed certainty, was established. I worked there-
fore with the Baron ; the result has been that I hold at
present about 50,0001. Spanish Stock. We know from
one of the parties interested that the agent employed
has arrived to-day in London from Madrid ; that he
has brought with him the ratification by the Spanish
Government of the new loan, and that the bankers and
other capitalists immediately interested here, were to
meet this evening to decide as to the mode of its being
made public. You know my prudence, dearest, and
you may be assured that upon nothing less than what
appears certain and indisputable, and inallible evidence,
would I risk what, if things take a contrary turn, will
cause me a most serious embarrassment. I feel certain,
I desire to make money for both our sakes. If all
comes off as the parties principally interested believe.
(I know that one of them holds 700,0001.) 1 shall make
every handsome sum,and we shall be immediatelyrelieved
from many of those disadvantages to which we are now sub-
ject. If success crown this grand effort, my Matilde, I shall
ascribe the success to you ; should failure, with all its
evils, come,, I doubt not I shall find some important
point has escaped my notice and the Baron's, and that
to ourselves alone the loss must be attributed. But I
have hopes, dearest Matilde, and hopes of no common
kind. God grant they may be realised, and our loves
.may be thereby simplified.
I had not time to answer you to-day about your
cousin. I left your letter in the City, but 1 think it
was your cousin's you said ; my own Matilde, why
ask my opinion on such a trifle. I say so, although
it pleases me that you have done so. Write to him,
dearest, if you and he be friends ; he must be worthy
our friendship, and I would have him think well, and
care well, for the being whom I adore.
I remember you say of those six or eight lines, " if
they be yours." They were an impromptu in the
coach that runs between Brighton and London, dearest,
and remember this ; all versification, or metre, or poe-
try, in my letters, if no author's name be attached
thereto, is mine, and inspired by you, because I inva-
riably put the name of the author when I quote, acid
state the period and circumstances of the composition
of it if it be mine of an earlier date.
How pleasing, how delightful, is the confidence we
have established with each other.
It is one of the fruits of real love, I presume, since it
is so great a novelty to me. It soothes and consoles
me to a degree no words can express ; in truth I can
feel, although I cannot say or write how much I owe to
my Matilda.
I must tell you that my virtue and resistance, like
Bob Acres' valour, is oozing out, and that I am contem-
plating receiving you in town for a few days. If any
doubt and uncertainty should continue, contrary to our
expectations, to hang over our speculations, it will be
difficult for me to absent myself from London ; and as
it is impossible for me to live wits any degree of happi-
ness much longer without seeing you, and as I know so
well I am so necessary to your felicity, I shall be com-
pelled to make a compact with myself, and solicit as a
boon what I before rejected—viz. that you should come
up here. You will not, however, expect that in this
letter I should fix anything positive about it. But for
this be prepared, my Matilde, either I come down to
B. or W. at the end of this present week, or you come
up to me. Do ydu observe how imperiously I write ?
Forgive me, dearest, for it is the result of the confirmed
certainty I have under your own sweet hand, that you
will abide by any decision I may snake thereanent.
I have dined again to-day at my sister's. Her hus-
band wished to consult me about a speculation into
which he and his partner were inclined to enter, and in
which they wished me to join. I have, however kuocked
down the plan so far as regards myself, and that has
determined them to abandon it also.
It is very late, darling, indeed ; the clock has just
now struck two To-morrow will be a busy day with me,
as I must first go to the City, and then to Belgreve-
square, before twelve, for an interview with Lord C.,
who has appointed me that hour by letter ; therefore,
good night, dearest. Buonas noches filha miva demon
cceur—may a rose from the Celestial garden be placed
this night upon your heart. Good night.
Tuesday, Four.
I had not time to read your letter until I reached
Belgrave-square, and there I was indebted to it foi.
relief and pleasure during the ten minutes I had to wait
before his Lordship could receive me. I had a satis-
factory and confidential chat for an hour and a-half with
him, and think some good may come of it.
The speculation of Spanish goes on well thus far. I
could now realize 4001. upon it, but being in the secret,
and having entered with a great expectancy, of course
I do not even for a moment think of selling out. 1
have just come from time parties principally concerned,
and alt is as right as can be, lam assured. You see I
do, indeed, admit you to my confidence. If the people
here thought I her.? 50,000/. they would proclaim instant
ruin.—God bless, you, darling ; and to-morrow you
shall hear again from your GULIELMO.
Friday morning, March 13.
I have just received your welcome letter, darling Ma-
tilde, and being alone and unoccupied for a few minutes,
avail myself of the opportunity to acknowledge and
thank you for it. We were very fortunate, I think, as
to the coaches, but hope that we shall not have any fur-
ther occasion for arranging such long journies for my
Matilde.
As you had written to your cousin, I presume he re-
ceived the intelligence as to your departure from town
and present address from Broad. street, and of course in
any such communication your conduct would be pro-
nounced most faulty, seeing that those you have left be-
llied consider themselves free from all blame. You say his
letter was a cruel one—l hope he will write no more
such, but that if your reply shall not have induced a
change in his opinions and feelings, he will abstain from
writing altogether ; and this I think most likely to' be
the result, or that he will come and visit you ; indeed,
my beloved Matilde, it would be folly for us to attempt to
conceal from ourselves that our attempts at self-justifica-
tion with others are almost sure to be unsuccessful ones, for
society is a tyrant that punishes not alone for open breaches
of its laws an 4 regulations, but for aught that can be termed
an m ffort to escape from the influence and trammels of any
of them, however odious. What do you mean, darling
Matilda, by having written to him and implored him to
touch no more on that subject ? What subject ? Has
he been told that it is for the sake of other's society that
you resolved on such a separation from former ties?
and have you admitted that such was the case? But
no, this cannot be, and I must misinterpret.
You can never give me greater pleasure, my own
darling Matilda, than in proving to me that the sweet
images with which my love fills your soul are capable of
relieving you from the pangs of other's unkindnesses, and
relieving you from clouds that, would otherwise oppress
you. 'Tis true I think, and feel that I estimate your value
rather too highly (rather is a most word when
applied to such worship is it not), and that you have too
much trust and confidence ; but dearest Matilde if it
is for your happiness, as it should seem to be, to think
and feel different on this subject, why then I can only
beg ou to continue to cherish a love and trust that
produces you so good an immediate result.,
Thpt you were happy, during the few days you were
with me, was so evident, that I scarce needed your as-
surance to that effect, yet it gives me pleasure to trace
the words in your own hand—would our bliss could have
been of longer duration.
I do not go to Liverpool until Monday night, dearest,
My broker had been rather overdoing himself this
account, and I do not leave town with any pleasure till
my account be satisfactorily arranged, 'as I find he has
so much difficulty in carrying over, that I am compelled
to close gradually with him, and buy in the other peo-
ple. Ido not expect that I shall make even 501. on
this account, but believe also that I shall not lose a
farthing, which is so far satisfactory.
And now dearest, good bye. This is a hurried and
poor letter, but you will forgive that as well as all faults
of your, GULIELMO.
March 25th,Wednesday night.
It is past midnight, my beloved Matilda, and I have
this moment returned from an interview with some gen-
tlemen connected with a new railroad, to be brought
before the public, and to which they have solicited me
to become Secretary ; it is a thing I should some time
ago have most decidedly and instantly rejected, although
they talk of 6001. a-year, but I now feel more disposed
to take the matter into consideration, and reflect well
before saying " No." I have not now that objection to
remain in England for a period that would have formerly
much influenced me, and I begin now to feel more
anxious for certainties.
I could not possibly think of retiring for the night,
without some communion with the mistress of my soul.
My letters since our happy interview have been brief
and hurried, and can have done little more than assure
you of the impossibility of my allowing a post to leave
London without some greeting for my beloved Matilde.
And this, what will this be ? 1 could tell you more,
were I with you, by one little pressure of the band, by
a few simple (and to other ears, did they hear them,
seemingly unmeaning) words, than a dozen letters could
make known to you. My heart, Matilde, is in the
same place as when at B. You knew then that all
its pulsations were yours, and I tell you no w that it
beats but for you.
I cannot tell you, my own Matilde, how much your
letter, which I received this morning, delighted me. I
know that your capabilities are great, your imagination
is bright ; your powers of description I have often found
admirable, your perception of character is quick and
searching, and your knowledge of society such as will
render your task much easier than it would otherwise
be. Many mysteries of the heart have also been of late
revealed to you, and you have all such knowledge in
freshness and vigour ; in a word, I am sure you will

do charmingly, but whether you succeed or not, I shall
hail this as a happy omen. lam sure the effort will in-
terest you, and relieve the todiousness and monotony of
your seclusion, and this belief gives me an inexpressible
pleasure.
You ask me what name I shall bear. Do you re-
member the reply of the spirit to Manfred when called
upon by him to take some visible form ? Well, dearest,
I `answer with the spirit. But as a more direct reply
I have the same prejudice in favour of Bertram that you
have, my Matilda ; for I have never forgotten your re-
calling that beautiful (though, as then used, inapplicable)
passage to my notice ; and on the score of the name not
being English, I question whether a Norman name is
not as good an English one at any time as an Irish one
can be, and Bertram has less pretensions, and would
I therefore comport better with my modest character.
I long to know what will result from our advertise-
: at this season of the year particularly, all persons
who have the slightest idea or wish of receiving an in-
mate, read the Times, in the hope of something appear-
ing ; and many who have never thought of such things
before, notice and reply to advertisements of this na-
ture. Ido hope we shall succeed, that your vision of a
coarse, vulgar mailresse de loge will prove to have been
a cheating one.
And now, my darling Matilda, I am for bed : would
I could transport myself at this moment to that in
which you repose ! Ho, sweet would then be our
good night ! But, as this cannot be, still good night,
my beloved Matilde.

Thursday, Sept. 4.
The inclosure your letter of this morning brought to
me, my darling Matilde, is evidently written by a man
who feels a deep interest in your welfare, but who
does not seem at all to understand your true position
and character. I think that you are bound by respect
for yourself to write something like the inclosed.
You must expect that all blame has been laid upon
you, because it is evident that none of those who were
about you could sympathise with your peculiar men-
tal conformation ; and although I would not utter a
word of accusation or reproach, I would to such a
person as the writer of that letter, give sufficient hints
to convince him that it required no ordinary degree
of misery to nerve me to such a course as I had pur-
sued ; while, at the same time, I gave no room fot hope
of my retracing my steps, since the result has been
peace and tranquil happiness, to which I had been a
stranger ; and which contrasts so strongly with what I

had too long known.
I have not time for a word more, darling. Do not
write your cousin, however, till you hear from me again.
Believe always in my love, as you do in Heaven, and
that I am unchangeable, your GULIELAIO.
Copy of the inclosure referred to in the foregoing
letter : . .

" I was of course surprised at receiving another letter
from you, and not less so at learning that C— was with
you at Exeter. As the privacy of our correspandenee,
which I felt it due to myself to impose as a condition of
it, seems to weigh upon you, I shall reply as briefly as
possible to your kind letter.
" You must excuse my discussing the past in any way.
You have made yourself acquainted with the leading
facts through another channel, but the secrets of the
prison-house are ever unknown save to the captive and
his gaolers ; I shall not reveal them. My mind is, per-
haps, too sensitive, but that is not my fault ; but believe
me I would not again endure the miseries and insults
that have been heaped upon me during the last
for all that could be offered me of luxury of the world
—nay, more than that all—even of your approval.
You are a witness that I have not sought to
justify myself at the expense of others, even to the
person whose continued esteem I most covet, nor shall
I now say more than that there was no choice left to
me between madness and the step I have taken—a
step at which I myself shuddered, but which, notwith-
standing all the privations it entails, I would not on any
account retrace. The peace of mind I now experience,
compensates me for all else, and I feel that it will endure.
" As to the infamous author of those letters, whoever
he m :y be, I feel no apprehension, and although (if he
were indeed, as seems far from impossible, guided by
the views you have attributed to him), he may have
succeeded in part, here his triumph ends ; nor do I
think I need fear any molestation from him ; but if
such a thing should hapeen, and I should be obliged to
apply for further protection, I should certainly not hesi-
tate a moment as to accepting your kindly offered aid."
March 28th,—Saturday Morning.
_

I have your business letter as you call it, dearest
Matilde, and as you have given so much importance to
my part of our business a 3 to commence with it, I
shall do likewise. Respecting the secretaryship I have
had further conversation about it last evening, and was
strongly inclined to decide in favour of the post, and
now I most unequivocally do so, and send a note to
the parties accordingly. You take the same view I
do. I can resign it whenever I please, even without
entering upon the duties, for these will be scarcely worth
mentioning for a long time to come, and at all events it
will be a hold by, should everything else go bad, as my
late unfortunate speculations. How delightfully do we
agree, do we not? Is it. not most pitiful we cannot
make a perfect amalgamation ? A tunny phrase is it.
not? But it is merely a carrying out of your own idea
of getting into one another's souls. -
By the bye, let mo tell you at once, the railroad is
that of which you will find a long notice among the ad-
' vertisements of yesterday, signed " Lumley" (the Opera
man), solicitor. It is peculiarly a London railway, and
is intended to have a branch in Croydon to join the
Brighton terminus there, so as to convey the Brighton
passengers wanting to go west to Knightsbridge at once,
without imposing on them the necessity of going to
London-bridge. I think the railroad will bear the name
I proposed for it last night, viz. " The London General
Terminus Railway," as it goes to all the railway termi-
nuses at all parts of London.
lam glad you think well of the sketch for W. N. I
wrote it hastily at the Baron's, while he was conversing
with some one else about our unfortunate Spanish.
I perceive exactly the difficulty you are in with him,
but I think and believe you will get out of it nobly in
the way I have suggested—it is absolutely indispensable
in such cases to diplomatize. lam sorry if you have
written to 8.-street about the " modicum," because I
think,one y in your position,
all points connected with the
money arrangements made before you left London
should be treated through their solicitor—there ought
not to be any occasion indeed to treat about them at all.
I will not venture to express any opinion regarding
the Highgate young ladies—it is too gross. But I
have always said that the general expressions about
natural ties, and feelings, and affection, were all "hum-
bug." Do you like this word? It is not elegant, but
is expressive, and was a very necessary invention, and an
excellent addition to the English language.
I perceive that you are, indeed, immensely taken with
the Croydon gentleman's letter. I shall see about it
forthwith, you may believe, as the sooner we can deter-
mine on some residence the better.
This is not such a letter as you ought to have on
Saturday, beloved Matilde, but I have been unable to
do more, particularly as,l intended starting off directly
for Croydon. If it can be arranged there that you re-
ceive a letter by to-morrow morning, I will write the
result and post it at Croydon.
Ever beloved, believe me, faithfully,
GULIELMO.

COURT oF SEWERS, WEST-

MINSTER.

A Court of Sewers was held yesterday at twelve
Court by o'clock at the Sewers Office for the Liberties of West-
minster, Greek-street, Soho.
EDWARD WILLOUGHBY, Esq., in the Chair.
The minutes of the proceedings of the last Court
were read.
On the Clerk reading that portion of the minutes.
which related to the Jury,
. Mr. LESLIE objected to its being stated that the
jury retired for deliberation. They were ordered out

The C

the minutes. It did retire to deliberate. The Chair-
man
ewag the organ of the Court. The words "at
the rues r
the Court" might be added, if it were
deemed req 04
uisite. Mr. Leslie, if he did not approve of
the mi▪
nutes, had better propose an amendment.
The CLERK said that the record was made in the
usual manner as on all former occasions.
Mr. LESLIE moved as an amendment that the words
at the request of the Court be added.
No one however seconded it, and the amendment
consequently fell to the ground!
On the motion for the confirmation of the minutes
being put,

LESLIE again protested against the incorrectness
of the minutes, which were however confirmed, Mr. Les-
lie's being the only hand held up against it.
Mr. LESLIE wished to know why in their minutes
the names of the movers and seconders of motions did
not appear? He considered it most important that they
should be recorded, and asked whether there was any
positive law on the subject, or whether the present prac-
tice was merely authorised ' b custom.
The CHAIRMAN said there was no positive law on
the subject, and he did not see there could be any ob-
jection tw the names of the movers and seconders of mo-
tions and
--endrnents appearing, but he thought no
alteration should be made without notice.
Summonses were then ordered to issue against
several persons who were in arrcar of their rates.
Letters were read from the Secretaries of the Mid-
dlesex and Charing-cross Hospitals, and various other
persons, relating to the payment of their rates.
A warrant

The CLERK, in reply to Mr.
I Les!ie,
observed
that
be knew it had been the intention of the former Court
that his motion should remain in abeyance until the de-
cision of the Kensington case.

The CHAIRMAN.—One case will decide the rest.
Mr. LESLIE—Will one case decide the rest?
The CLERK—If the case of Mr. Ayter and Kensing-
ton Palace 5e decided against the Commissioners, it will
determine the case of St. James's Palace.
It was then, as we understood, agreed that the case
should be suffered to remain in abeyance.
A warrant, on the motion of Capt. PAYNE, was or-
dered to issue against the proprietor of the chapel is
John-street, Adelphi.

The Trustee of the Unitarian Chapel in Little Port-
land-street, said that he would pay the rate under pro-
test against its legality.
Mr. LE BRETON appeared on behalf of the Church-
wardens of St. Martin's. He had only to say that the
Churchwardens did not intend to pay the Sewer-rate
for the church, as they were desirous of having the
question tried by some superior tribunal, and that
therefore they should resist any levy being made, ac-
cording as they should be advised by counsel. In reply
to the Chairman, Mr. Le Breton said that he should
oppose the rate on every ground, without confining
himself to any ; but he would mention two-Ist, that

the church was not liable ; nod, 2dly, that the Church-
wardens were not tbe persons liable to be rated, inas-

much as they were neither owners nor occupiers of the
property ; but if any other grounds should arise
afterwards, he should certainly take advantage of them.
He hoped that one action would be permitted to decide
all the cases, so that expense might be saved. He also
appeared on behalf of the Church of St. Michael's,
Burleigh-street, and objected that there were no such
persons as the churchwardens of St. Michael's—it being
the opinion of the Bishop of London that it was in fact
part of the parish Church of St. Martin ; that question
was, however, as yet undecided.
Mr. COLLIER appeared on behalf of the churchwar-
dens of St. Clement's Danes, and submitted that being
a parish church, it was not liable to rating. He under-

stood that the Commissioners had take; counsel's opi
Dion ; now,• he had two propositions to make to the
Court—first, that a copy of the opinion and the case on
which it was founded, should be given to him to
be laid before the parish, and if it were found that the
case was fairly and properly stated, and that the opinion
was conclusive, he would submit and tell the parish-
officers that it was his opinion that they ought to pay
the rate. If that were refused, then he would ask for a
delay until the Ist May, in order that they might not
have ten or twelve actions pending at once. The
parish would by that time have been enabled to come
to consideration on the subject.
Mr. FRANCE thought the request so fair, that he,
would at once move that the case and opinion be fur-
nished to the applicant.
Mr. LESLIE thought they ought to proceed with
great caution. St. Martin's had already peremptorily
refused to pay the rates, therefore the acceding to this
proposition would not at all affect their position. The
solicitor from St. Martin's had fairly told them that he
would take every objection, besides no regular notice
had been given of the motion.
The CHAIRMAN thought the Court ought to take
time to consider before it came to any decision on so
important a subject.
Mr. FRANCE then withdrew his motion.
Mr. BUTT, appeared as the solicitor, representing the
whole of the parochial property for the parishes of St.
George's and St. Giles B!oonlsbury, in all the eight cases,
and acting under the advice of counsel, he thought it
right to state to the Court that in every case in which they
should think proper to distrain he should bring an action.
The CHAlRMAN—Workhouse included ?
Mr. BUTT—Yes, Sir. We resist all the rates.
Mr. ALLEN, who represented St. Ann's parish, said
that he attended out of respect to the Court. The
Churchwardens had not yet made up their minds, but
they seemed inclined to tread in the steps of Mr. Collier.
A GENTLEMAN. who attended on behalf of the pa-
rish of St. Mary-le-Strand, said that the parish was a
very small one, and he trusted that some delay would
he aff irded them, as they wished to wart to see what
was done by the other parishes.
Mr. FRANCE said that before they proceeded farther
he was desirous of moving that the parties interested
should be furnished with every information on the sub-
ject.
Mr. LESLIE—No doubt but they have all seen the
opinion.
Mr. FRANCE—Why, then, should the Churchwardens
of St. Clement Danes make the application they have
made through the medium of Mr. Collier ?
In answer to questions put to them, seriatim, the so-
licitors to the different parishes declared that they had
not seen the case and opinion in question.
The CHAIRMAN sail that if ever there was a case
where it was necessary to adhere strictly to their rules
it was in the present one, which was of the greatest
importance. It would be better not to depart front the
rule requiring notice to be given of every motion before
it should be brought forward.
Mr. FRANCE would give notice of his motion for the
next Court.
Mr. HAWKE3 moved the adjournment of the further
consideration of these cases until the next Court, when
they should be specially considered.
Mr. MULLINS thought the parties came too late now
to appeal against the rate ; they should have entered
a plea of traverse.
Mr. HAWKES knew of no rule to prevent an adjourn-
ment. The cases were so important, that they ought
to act cautiously. Why should they he in such
haste to issue the warrants ? by a little delay
they would better their position with the public, as
showing that they had no desire to rush into liti-
gation. He should, therefore, persist in his mo-
tion for adjourning the further consideration of this
question to next Court, and thought it would be better
to constitute the next Court a special one for that

purpose.
The motion having been put from the Chair, there
appeared—
For Mr. Hawker's motion - -
Against it

--- - 9

0

Majority in favour of adjourning the question
to the next Court
Mr. MULLINS thought it right that the parties inte-
rested should know that all documents belonging to the
Court were public documents, and as such they had a
right to inspect them.
Mr. HAwKEs then moved—That Friday next a spe-
cial general Court be held, and that Mr. France's mo•
tion, of which he had given notice, should on that day
have precedence.
Mr. LESLIE suggested that the Court should, on that
occasion, meet at an earlier hour, so as to give time for
a full discussion of this important subject. The officers
of some of the parishes had declared their intention of
bringing the case before a higher tribunal, so as to have
the opinion of the Judges of the land on the point.
The Commissioners must enforce this view of the
case ; and the only Way of bringing the matter
to trial, was by their issuing their warrant of
distress. They must enforce the rate. They
had been asked if they would take one case,
and let the other abide by the decision of that ; it would
be folly to have ten actions pending at once, and proba-
bly by the time fixed for holding the Special Court the
parish officers would be prepared, one and all, to fix upon
some one case, by the decision of which the others
should abide. The parish advisers did not at present
appear to be at all agreed on the subject. St. Martin's
had paid the rate on the workhouse, and was prepared
to pay on the vestry ; while St. George's and St. Giles's,
in all eight cases, whether for church or workhouse,
were prepared to litigate the question. He thought
also that the business should be fully stated in the No-
tiee-paper, in order that every Commissioner might be
fully aware of the importance of the business which was
to be brought before the Court.
Af er a few words from Mr. Mullins and Captain
Payne, the motion of Mr. Hawkes was agreed to, and
eleven o'clock precisely fixed as the hour of commencing
the proceedings.
'rho Court then proceeded to transact a quantity of
routine business, having disposed of which it adjourned.
