" My dearest Washington,—Days, even weeks pass on, yet hear I
not from or of you. Are yon still away from your home, or have
you even yet returned to Chartley? I am fearful that these ro-
mantic notes of mine should reach you not. How I long to see your
face; shall [ever again do so ? to hear your voice and see you smile;
but, perhaps, I may never behold you more. There is a secret plea-
sure in writing to you, knowing you 'know not me, nor can even
dream of the lady's name or place of abode that thus addresses you ;
therefore, lam safe. Ali l could you but know how much I think of
you, how every feature of your thee is written on my heart, me-
thinks sometimes ou would even love me for my deep fond love ; it
is as my being, and will abide with me till death ; you are in thought
all to me. Would you too could love the one who thus thinks of you ;
might my whole life be spent in watching over you, and In pre-
venting every evil from approaching him so loved ; it
would, indeed, be untold happiness to be ever near and
with you in each danger, difficulty, joy, or sorrow ; once
I dreamed the angel of death hovered near you, and tkat I stayed
the hand that would have destroyed, and saved you from death.
lleaveh and the God I revere and worship keep you safe from all
harm, most beloved of all on earth to me. Now the beautiful spring
is here, and with it flowers ; indeed everything bright and beautiful
in nature teaches us to thank the Creator for his wonderful mercies.
You have very much to be thankful for. May you be happy and
blessed In y our home, and when you wed, may the one you may
choose be as a creature of life and light to you, brightening each
darker moment of your life, enlightening each sorrow, enhancing
each joy, administering comfort. Such thus much may every
woman do, if she truly love the one given to her as her partner for
life, if he hi return show due consideration and affection for her.
(Such would I be to thee tearing_ all for thy sake, enduring
An that thou mightest he blessed. But perhaps this may never,
never be. Perhaps you may even now love another. God is above
with all ; he will judge rightfully for all. Anti thus each
mortal treads upon his fate, looks back, sighs, hesitates, when
it's too late.' Something whispers me we shall once more meet,
be it In lighted hall or church, or under the shade of the hawthorn
tree ; we shall meet, though you may not dream you are there, hold-
ing converse with your anonymous correspondent ; but time hastens,
and as cur carriage passed through the borough from which your
second title and prettiest name is derived (Viscount Tamworth),
while our horses are • baited' at the Castle Inn, so shall I post this
to you,—that Tamworth that ought to be your own, young Lord, in-
stead of Sir Robert Peel's. Dearest Washington, wills best wishes
for your happiness and future welfare, allow the lady who thus writes
to subscribe herself most devotedly, " MARIE."
The fdregoing letter is inclosed in an envelope, bearing the Tam-
worth post mark of May 1, 1841, and addressed as follows:

believe them not —it cannot be; you must be high-minded,
noble, generous, ood— so have I fancied you. Oh, that it
may not be fancy only. Yen are young, and have nor father nor
mother to guide your steps. The world, I am told, is deceitful and
wicked—you have no one to advise you, to whisper words of affec-
tion and love, to watch over and be with you. You have some
wealth and rank. If these could constitute happiness, then yon
m ;;ht be happy, but your household hearth is not warmed by affec-
tion. Do you never feel lonely?—never wish for others but the gay
and wild young men with 'e'hom. you associate? Is there never a
blank found In your heart? Do you never sigh for one
to love you—one wham you could put faith and trust
In ? Guardians you have had—they may still advise you,
but they have their own to think of, their children ; you,
by frequent thought, the only one whom I cannot help but love ;
though apparently that one a stranger. Surely, it seems fate—l

your welfare first thought of. Report says that you are going
to wed with a lady of Wales, if so, may you be blessed and
hippy. I am aware we may never meet never join
hands together ; and yet; I cannot forget you. My heart
of hearts is yours, and with you will rest. I can never love another;
never give my hand without my heart. lam no Welsh lady, but an
English woman in thought and action, word and deed; and as an
English woman do I love you, think of you. They say the blood of
a Ferrcrs is not good, and that the generations of the Shirleys
have mostly been men of ignoble minds, with one or two exceptions.
Washington, add to the honour of your family; disgrace not further
your name. What would I give to see you now, to be with and near
you always. Alts! in secret I write to you, in secret love you--
would we could meet. Do you never visit Staunton ? Will you not
be there, after the approaching LichfleM review, alone ? Beloved
one. adieu, adieu—ever, ever your friend, " MARIE.

" My Lord,—Strange it may seem to you, no doubt, to receive a
note. from a stranger, and a lady too, but it signifies little to me, as
know well you never knew the writer of this, never see her. Now
for what I have to tell you ; it is this :—There is a public ball at
Tamworth every Christmas, generally about the 6th or Bth of
January. Go, I _advise you go; there will, to my knowledge,
be A young lady at the ball whom I wish you to see
and dance with. She is very beautifill, has dark hair
and eyes; in short, she Is haughty and graceful as a Spa-
niard, tall and majestic as a Circassian, beautiful as an Italian.
Scan say no more. Yon have only to see her to love her— that yon
must do. She la fit for the bride of a Prince. Go, look well round
the room. You will find her by this description. Site may wear one
white rose In her dark hair. Ca early ; if you see her not there
you will never see her, as she is like a violet, hid amidst
many leaves, only to "be found when sought for. I know
eke is young, and it is toy wi.4l she should have some
one to protect her. From what 1 have heard, you must be

all risks.; you will then be of age, with nothing to prevent you. I

Derby post-office. Burn it when read—show it to na one. Keep
your own comisel, my Lord,- and deem yourself happy in the
idea of knowing one so talented, beautiful, and young; ask her
to dance whit you fear not. And now I have fulfilled my mission,
and shall mit In peace, mare peaceful though did I know that -you •

" Wednesd aye March.
"Dearest Wasbington,—Tlins again and agah, I M ill write to you,
and tel.'s call you, ibr in truth you are dearer to use than aught cis.,
and ever will remain so. The question may mire, why dues she so
write thus often—of what use Is it where she puts not her name to
these effusions ? This is the why and the wherefore—that you may
know there is at least one being on earth who thinks and cares. solely
for you. Why I should thus feel and care I know not. I have but seen
you, but tilt:lading is implanted and will remain with me. I cannot
shake off the memory of yourself—in each scene your image presents
Itself; and the girl of rilneteens-exes her parents and says no to her
'enoers, aril. the cause is yourself. It is, lam aware, umnaidenly
thus to write ; but you know not the writer, and it is to that one a
solace and comfort to tell you how much she loves you—how de-
votedly she is yours. Would that I could shake off the dream, for where
will it end ?—with my life. And when I am folded in the calm, still sleep
of death, with my being will it end. And you, may you be happy and
blessed. Oh, that we might meet—that you could love me even as I
you ; hut we dn•ell far apart. And thus music, and flowers, and
birds must be still tended and loved' by me, for I see you not: the
charm would thsn be twofold. When I watch the opening of the
flower I think of you, and sigh that you are not with me, that the
maiden's hand might pluck the rose for you and bid you wear it for
her sake ; but this is not to he ; you cannot remember me, so you
cannot lore me.' Perhaps these; totes may novel even reach you—
that I shodld like to know: stay, I will tell you. On Monday,esth of
March, if you are at home, write and say if you have received a
packet of anonymous letters, directed to you at Chartley. An en- •
velope with yes or no written in it will be sufficient. Direct the
envelope to Miss A. IL, Post-office, Leicester. If you write and direct
thus, I shall surely have it, but perhaps yeti will take no notice of
this—if so, Well, it will still be the same, and I shall think as I !env
do. Washington, you are mine in thought, and you are very dear to
me. Let me still think of you, and if you write, I shall then have
eentethieg to look at as yours.

Cross-examined--It was while I was sitting in Court yesterday
that my attention was called to this journey. I cannot say on what
day of December it was. I might have been a fortnight or three
weeks with my brother at this time. My brother very seldom rode
out. He generally spent his evenings at home. I don't remem-
ber that he had any friends on a visit then. He was
fond of fun.—(Laughter.) I do not remember anything of a mock
trial at the Castle. There was a Miss Davy there, and a Mr. and
Mrs. Eld, and I saw them acting, but I can't tell what it was. My
brother was dressed up with my grandfather's robes on, and sat in
the arm-chair. I don't remember that any other persons were
dressed up. I recollect the servants were called in there, and stood
with muskets. I might have been an hour there. I can't say when
this took place, but it was after my grandfather's death. I have
often heard of a charge brought against persons for stealing cran-
berries at Chartley, but I did not see a mock trial of any one there at
that time for that offence. This took place at nine o'clock- at
night. This was not the only performance at Chartley, but I
can't tell of any others. They used to perform plays. I task no
part. I have heard that he used to go out dressed very oddly, but I
used to go to bed early, and was never disturbed by the noise. I have
met Mr. Harding at Chartley some times. I saw Mr. Gilpin also
dressed up.
Mr. Hanbury Tracy sworn—l used to visit at Chartley. I never re-
ceived letters from Lord Ferrers, but I have seen a good many that
he wrote to my wife. I have seen him write. The letters, numbered
from Ito 12, were then handed to the witness. I recollect leaving
Chartley en the 9th of December, 1843, shortly after breakfast, for
Wales.' I can't say that the Earl breakfasted with us, but he started
with us. The distance of Welehpool from Chartley is about fifty-
eight miles.
Cross-examined by Mr. CHAMBERS —I have recently looked at some
of his letters to prepare myself. I was looking at some last night.
The paper handed me 'now appears to be better written than any of
the others, and a great deal more like his writing. The letters I
look at were written within the last year and a half; his style was
ver
racith
ort and very plain. I recollect the mock trial ; it was I who
r mended it, in order to frighten a man charged with stealing
cranberries. Ido not think he was sworn on the Bible ; Ido not re-
collect that there was any counsel ; I do not think there was counsel
for the defence; but we did sufficient to humbug, the man —(Laugh-
ter.) I believe his sentence was to bring hint down and give him
some beer.- (Laughter.) I knew that some of the parties went out
at night disguised. I think I have seen Lord Ferrers going out
disguised with jack-boats and half military costume : this was about
the time of the toll-breakers. I have seen him put on a Scotch
dress, but not go out in it. It was while I was in Court that I re-
collected
the 9th of December. I also referred to documents.
Walter M`Loghlen, clerk to Mr. Mivart, hotel-keeper, in Brook-
street—l i 1
keep a register of all visitors at the hotel. Lord Ferrers
was never at the hotel to my knowledge.
Cross-examined —lf visitors stayed any time I should know them.
We could accommodate two or three hundred. I don't believe I
have ever seen Lord Ferrers. Persons of the highest rank go there
and arc not known.

At the conclusion of this witness's evidence, the Court adjourned

THE MURDER IN DRURY-LANE,

BO H'-STREET.
EXAMINATION OF THE SUPPOSED MURDERER.

Thomas Wicks, a young man of about 20 years of age, who stands
charged with the murder of his master, James Bostock, having been
arrested on that charge late on Monday night, was placed at the bar,
before Mr. Twyford, as soon as the night charges were disposed of.
From the time of the opening of the Court, and indeed for some time

previous, the street was crowded with people anxiously
waiting to " catch a sight" of the accused, but as is usual
in such cases the prisoner was led across the street from the station-
house to the Court, at the same time with the other prisoners, so that
he could not be distinguished from them by the mob. The Court
itself was net so crowded as might have been expected from the in-
terest usually displayed by the inhabitants of the vicinity of the
pollee. court, in eases of this description. It is probable that but for
the " counter-attraction" of the Westminster nomination, there
would have been a much "larger attendance" at Bow-street.
A beadle was in attendance to take notes of the examination, and
to furnish a report to the coroner, by whom he had been sent.
A few minutes before the prisoner was brought in the court, a gen-
tleman applied to the magistrate to have the case put off till to-
morrow, saying that he was a relation of the prisoner, and that he
was in possession of facts whieh, he thought, would materially alter
the aspect of the case.
Mr. TWYFORD said that he could not postpone the hearing of the
case. If the applicant had any facts to adduce, an opportunity
would be given him in the course of the examination.'
At ten minutes to two o'clock, the prisoner was placed in the
dock. On being led into the room by the gaoler, he made a spring,
and entered the box in a wonderfully uon-chalent manner. On
being asked whether his name was Thomas Wicks, he replied,
" yes," in a". big manly voice." He is a very boyish-looking per-
son, not appearing to be more than 17 years of age. He was dressed
in a velveteen jacket. During the examination he showed great
levity, and evidently thought very little of the charge against him.
Samuel Parsons, an old man who lives in the same house as the

deceased, No. 4, Pitt-place, Drury-lane, said—l am a coach-maker
by trade. At seven o'clock on the morning of Monday, being then
in bed, I heard a cry of " Master." I immediately got up. and partly
dressed myself. Before I was quite dressed I heard the report of a
pistol. I live in the attic, which is the third floor. When I was
dressed I went down stairs and found a candle alight in the passage.
I put it out. Afterwards I found a body in the passage, and I went
to the street door, and saw Mr. Goodman, who lives in the house
opposite, at his door. I asked him to bring a light, which lie did,
and we went together to the place where I had seen the light. Mrs.
Bostock was then coming down stairs. We found toe
body of Mr. Bostock lying in the passige, and covered
with blood. The wound was on the left side of the head, but I cannot
say whereabouts, as the whole of that side of his head was covered
with blood. We then called in the police, and the body was taken
away on a stretcher,

George Goodman; of No. 5, Pitt-place, a file-cutter, corroborated
the above statement. He knew the prisoner as an apprentice to the
deceased. He was not quite dead when they found him, but he could

not speak.

Frederick Walker, of No. 20, Princes-street, Drury-lane, said that
yesterday morning, at about live minutes past six o'clock, he was in
a public-house in Princes-street, when the prisoner came in and
asked for a pennyworth of ruin, with which he was served. Wit-
ness asked him whether "Jens," meaning the deceased, was up yet.
He said he was net, and would not be until half-past six or seven
o'clock. Ile then went away.
Martha Hazlett, a young woman, 18 or 19 years of age, was then
called. On being asked whether she knew the prisoner, she began
to cry very bitterly, and it was some time before she was sufficiently
recovered to give her evidence. ithe stated that she suet the prisoner
at about nine o'clock on the morni,:g of the murder, in Chlswell-
street, Finsbury-square. He said that he was not going to work that
day. They went to a public-house and had some spirits, for which
he paid. They then parted, and he appeared to be in a great hurry.
ry A shopman in the employ of Messrs. Harding, gunsmiths, of 69,
_ _ _ _ . _ _ .

. -
Great Queen-street,LincOln's Inn-fields, said that on Monday or;Puesday
of last week the prisoner came to him with a pistol, which was out
of order. It was a flint and steel pistol. Witness only oiled the
spring, which was stiff, and the barrel, which was rusty. Witness
charged him sixpence. He said he wanted to shoot a dog
that had bit him, and showed a scar upon his jaw.
Ile asked witness to give bins a bullet. He had not
a bullet, but he gave him two slugs. On Wednesday he
came again, and said that the pistol had missed lire, but
itness showed him that it was in good order. He said he had shot
the dug. on Thursday he went to the shop again, and showed wit-
ness a percussion-cap pistol, which he said he had got in exchange for
the other, and had given half-a crown into the bargain. Witness put
the pistol in order, and gave the prisoner a few caps. lie said he
wanted to go shooting on Primrose-hill on Sunday. Ile then went
away.

Edward Mailers, a dealer in pawnbroker's unredeemed pledges, of
129, Drnry-lane, said that in the course of last week the prisoner
came several tires to his shop to bargain for a pistol which he
wished to buy. Finally witness gave him a percussion-cap pistol In
exchange for a flint pistol, receiving half-a-crown iu
from the prisoner. The prisoner said that he wanted it to shoot birds
with. (The witness produced the pistol, which he had received from
the prisoner.)
James Stowe, an oil and colourman, of 19, Great Wild-street,
proved that the prisoner had bought gunpowder of him on several
occasions during the last wiek. He always said he wanted it
to shoot birds with, and on one occasion he showed him a pistol.
A policeman, who was on ditty in Great Wild-street, on Saturday
night, said, he was called into the house, No. 4, Pitt-place,
by the deceased, who was about to give the prisoner into
custody for obtaining money, and converting it to his
own use. The prisoner said he had lost it, and offered to pay half-
a-crown a week till the whole stun (11s.) should ho paid. He also
said, You can stop it out of my wages, which come to 145., but how
am Ito live? The deceased did not give him in charge, but said he
world stop out of his week's wages the I Is., and 2s. 6d., which lie
had borrowed from him, making 13s. 6d. Ile then gave the prisoner
bd., which made up the sum of 145., the prisoner's wages.
Policeman Pocock, F 14, and Thompson, A 62, took the prisoner
in charge, at a ceflee-house in Great Queen•street, Drury-lane, at
about twelve en Monday night. Ile asked on the road to the sta-
tion-house, whether " the governor was dead ?" They told him he
was ; and he said " he was a - rogue to me; this was brewing
for Jilin for twelve months, and I have revenged myself for his cruel
treatment to me." Ile was cautioned that anything he said
would be used against him, and he said no more.
Afterwards, at the station-house lie said several times that the de-
ceased was a very bad master to him, and that he had been re-
venged. Once he said, " I was sorry for hint when I had done it;
but lie behaved very badly to Inc." He afterwards said, "Oh, Po-
cock, what is worse than a guilty conscience'?"

- - .
The prisoner, who, during the evidence of the policemen, had ap-
peared more serious than before, on being asked if be had any ques-
tion to put to the witness Pocock, said "No ; he jives:his evidence so
Sincerely that I can say nothing to him ; and the evidence is so clear
against me that I mustconfess that I am guilty of it. I did do it ;
and I only wonder I slid not de it twelve months ago, his conduct to
use was so cruel,"

Mr. James Duncan, the house-surgeon of liin?,;'s College Hospital,
said that at half-past six on Monday morning the body of the
deceased was brought to him on a stretcher. Ile was quite insensible.
lie had a wound behind the lett ear, which witness had ascertained,

on jive niw•.'ena examination, passed through the skull. The bullet
had lodged in the right side of the bra!n. Ile died at about three
01,1qck in the afternoon, and the wound was the immediate cause of
death.

The depositions were then react over to the prisoner.
The prisoner made a statement of the conversation between him-
self, the deceased, and the policeman, which differed but slightly
from that of the policeman himself. He then signed the statement

he had made alter the evidence of the witnesses Pocock and Thom;

son, which had been taken down by the clerk at the Uwe. •
The witnesses were then bound over is prosecute, and the prisoner
was fully committed.

This extraordinary ease occupied the attention of the Court up to
a quarter to six o'clock in the evening.

MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

(From the London New Price current of Feb. 17.)
Suomi.—To-day there was a better desire manifested to purchase
West India Sugar, especially the bright yellow and strong refining
descriptions, and the rates paid were equal to those of Friday, but
not above. -
