CASE OF SEDUCTION.

The particulars of the seduction case which we
spoke of the other day, are as follow':—The parties
concerned are Dr. John C. Taylor, and Miss Emily
Greenwood, a Quaker lady of Halstead in Essex.
They both arrived in this city in the packet ship New
York, last week, and put up at the Astor House.
Miss Emily Greenwood is aged 20, and is the
daughter of Mrs. Greenwood, a respectable widow
lady of Halstead in Essex, about fifty miles from
London. Dr. John Cornelius Taylor was an inti-
mate friend and the medical attendant of the family,
(aged 38), and he has abandoned a wife and three
children, disposed of his practice, turned his effects
into money, and come off with about 3,0001. in his
pocket. Miss Emily Greenwood and her sister. Eliza
were on a visit at a friend's in the city of London,
and on their being absent one day mating a call in
town, the Doctor, by some stratagem, caused them to
be separated, and when the period arrived for their
leaving London to return home to their mother in
Essex, the Doctor escorted the sister Eliza to the
coach, and when inquiry was made by her respecting
Emily, the seducer's reply was that she would not
return home any more as she was under his protection.
The seducer and his victim then. went down to
Bristol, but not finding any conveyance to New York,
they returned to London and went to Liverpool,
where they secured their passage by the packet-ship
New York, Captain Cropper, which arrived here last
Thursday. They passed as man and wife, were re-
ported such on their arrival, and also on the books of
Astor House.

At Liverpool the brother of Miss Greenwood, who
had been sent down by the family, saw the Doctor
and his sister, and on remonstrating with the parties,
the Doctor told him that if any noise was made about
it " loss of life should be the consequence."
The family in England, through the agency of the
British Consul here, wish Miss Greenwood to quit her
seducer and return to them. The Doctor has been
arrested, and is now out on bail. The case was heard
by Judge Kent in Chambers yesterday morning, and
the matter so rests for a few days longer; he is to
determine to-day whether he will reduce the amount
of bail or not. When the Doctor was arrested the
other day, the young Quakeress went with him to the
lock-up house in Eldridge-street ; since then they
have gone into private lodgings.—American Paper.

THE POPE AND THE QUAKER.—SOme time ago an
English Quaker was honoured with an interview by his
Holiness the Pope. The Quaker, having passed through
France, had been shocked at the manner in which Sunday
was desecrated in that country. He, therefore, took the
opportunity which the interview presented of mentioning
the subject to his Holiness, and of suggesting to him the
propriety of, his interference to cause Sunday to be
kept holy and free from secular employment. The
Pope assured the Quaker that he was not- ignorant of
the open violation of the Sabbath in France, and was
extremely anxious that it should, as it ought, be kept
holy. The time was when the person occupying the
chair of St. Peter could directly interfere in the affairs
of foreign States, and when Emperors, Kings, and
Princes attended to the behests of the Vatican. But the
times had changed. He could not now exercise any
temporal authority beyond the limits of the Papal
States. All that he could do, to repress vice and
crime in foreign States, was by addressing letters of
advice and remonstrance to the heads of the Church
in communion with the Holy Catholic Church in those
States. lie had remonstrated with -those in France
on the open violation of the Sabbath in that king-
doin, and should not omit any opportunity of expressing
his strong disapprobation of the anti-Christian practices
which there prevailed. The Quaker, gratified by the
sentiments which he had given the successor of St. Peter
an opportunity of expressing, thereupon took his leave
of his Holiness.—Liverpool Albion.
Braham, when acting the part of William Tell,
proved himself so indifferent a toxopholite., that in the
celebrated apple-scene, the arrow had to be discharged
by someone behind the scenes—Braham of course re-
ceiving the applause. On one occasion, however, the
arrow missed the apple, at which the audience were be-
ginning to titter, when Braham almost threw them into
convulsions by advancing to the front of the stage and
saying—" Ladies and gentlemen, it wasn't I wko shot
at the apple !"

COMPENSATION BILL.—MT. M. Philips, M.P.,
Mr• M. Gibson, M.P., the Mayor of Manchester, and
the Town Clerk of Manchester, had an interview with
Sir James Graham on Thursday, on the subject of the
Compensation Bill, introduced in the House of Commons
by Sir Charles Douglas.
KINMEL PARK, NEAR ST. ASAPM.7—The works
have been pro tem. suspended in consequence of Lord
Dinorben having found it necessary to obtain an Act of
Parliament to enable his Lordship to re-build the man-
sion destroyed by fire, without diminishing the fortune
set apart for the junior branches of his family. The Act
is progressing through both Houses, and will receive the
Royal Assent in a few days, when the edifice, from the
designs of his Lordship's architect, will be commenced,
and II ill afford employment to a large number of work-
men. in Denbighshire.
TEMPERA NCE. —INTERESTING FACTS.— It will
doubtless be interesting to the friends of temperance, as
well as the public morals generally, to know that the
criminal prosecutions for this year are less by more than
half what they were in the same length of time last year.
We have it on unquestionable authority that the criminal
prosecutions in the town of New Haven, from the Ist of
January, 1841, to the Ist of July, 1841, amounted to
175; while.from the Ist of January, 1842,- to the Ist of
July, 1842, they amounted to only 76, and of these
sixty-seven were caused. by intoxicating drinks.—New
Haven Palladium.

The water in the Severn has not been so low for
the last seventeen years ; on many of the shoals there is
not nine inches of water.— Worcester Herald.
