on die 26th,. and which excited appiehensions and!

I began to think my prayers for him were answered. This viaitbel
state of matters wheat our correspondence Waseenewed. Dot alas!
on last Saturday week, he came like a 'roaring lion from Vophet.
His raving and execrations were heard nearly a quarter of a mile
of; crowds of people Were assembled near the gates; the neigh.
bourberod was alarmed; and he did not leave the dwelling 'till be
was wearied out with the excesses of his Outrage*. On the follow-
ing Sabbath, he came to disturb me at the Chapel, but wasrprtwi-
dentially prevented from accomplishing his purpose. If I send Min
to prison, as the Magistrates told me, be must mingle with the
worst of human beings, who will add to his depravity, who will
fan the flame of his malignant passions, andwho may prepare him for
the commission of some desperate felooiesus act, that would lead to
a disgraceful death. GOD knows, that for years I have been living
in the dread of being murdered by him, and in the very pulpithave
been alarmed by the fear of being destroyed by him. When at
correspondence was renewed, many testimonies came to use thatlet
was a penitent. I believed them ; the Sky was clear andthisesid.
Thus was filled up the few happiest months I ever spent in ebe
metropolis. I have thoughts of putting him in a maddieu. More
than half a year ago I had men empkryed to watch hint, and to convey
him to a place for lunatic*. They failed. I rejoice they did ; ' for
if they had succeeded, in a few &nor Weeks he would ha* re-
named cempkte use of, his powers. lie should, in this ease, have
been set at liberty. He would then hive either raised •an action
against me, or have fallen upon and destroyed me. This is the

To Miss Dick and the family the above communica-
tion appeared in a very suspicious light; and they can-
not deny, that, from the moment it was received, they
entertained apprehensions of the caddour and honesty
of Mr. neteher s intentions ; and suspected'that he was
only endeavouring to raise up obstacles to the union
which might induce Miss Dick, as on the former occa.
sion, on her part to put a stop to the courtship • •
• .0
• * Notwithstanding the strong 'rounds
Miss Dick and her friends had to suspect Mr. Fletcher,,
they determined that .she should have more decidel
.proof of his intentinns to-break eff.frora his engage-
!dents, befere she 'acted- on".that'idea. 'Within a itay,
'herefore, after' receiPt- ofMr. Fleteher'sletter, Miss Dick
wrote him. Unfortunately, no copy of this-letter was
pteserved ;7:ltnt-the: follows% is •an Account of its LOU'

of his outrages, we were trot ao much surprised as be might sup-

that he might believe that it had no effect ad my mhidocir for a,
momett made me change from my fixed purpose of fulfilling my'
engagements to him; and the vexation be was receiving from his
brother only strengthened my resolution of becothing the compa-
nion of his sorrows. I also told hint that when I came to 'the con-
clusion of Matter, where be says that the candela Of his brother
•totally unfittim fee carrying on the correspondence,. I could,
not widerstakd'what be meant, and rebid not for a mamma nap,

ported myriad; and what he had said in -!the close of his letter
I had eitheridstalten the stoning of, or believed it was written
under the. influence of strop/ feeling; for I could nut for a mo-
ment allow myself to think that, on account of the assaults of a
brother, be would give op a correspondence with one Who was
willing to leave bier family for him, and who never changed 'in' her
affection—that i 4 by what be laid, be meat to. delay the marriage,
I could not see what purpoee it eetild serve to do so, as it would
not prevent his brother from behaving as be had 'already- dose—
that it was known and eatpeeted by my. relations; the report was
quite public in Glaserw—that raid not make it known myself, hot
I had of late often been "widened as to the truth Of it ; and, as
considered it a filed engagement, I had not denied it—that my mo-
ther had begun to make preparations for the purpose—that. I looked
forward to his nest letter with great anxiety, and hoped it would
allay all my fears, and I hoped to receive an' answer by return of
pest—that my parents and the whole family united ha sympOthisin;
with him, on account of his brother ; bat they could not see in an
way how it could put a stop to the correspondence or the into
union—that my father expected him to preach for him as be
promised, and we were all happy, looking forward to his visit.

Cosc-Mracriasive.;—Yesterday morning, , fir. Perry,- a tow
merchant, appeared before Me. HALLS, the Sitting Magistrate, to;
answer to-an information laid against him by * person named Charles
King, at the instance of a Mr. Barfield, also a toel.merchant. for
having refused te measure a sack of coals when required, and not!
having a bushel-measure in a conspicuous part of his waggon. I
Mr. Kitts was reading the isifertnetion, when Charles King
came forward and said, I know nothing about it; I will have no-
thing to do with it. -
Mr. HALLS asked him what he bad to do with it ?—lie said his
nime was Charles King.—Mr. Harts—ls this your hand-writing?;
King—l don't know whether it is or nor.
Mr. Hatss—ls this your hand-writing in this information ? Is
this your signature ? .
King—l don't know; I ant under some obligations to Mr. Bar-
field, and, in return, he insisted that I should assist him in this in-
formation. I would bare chastised hint on the spot, as he deserved'
ter such -a-proposition, but I thought it better to come here.
-Mr, Hau.s—Are you the informer?
King—lnformer ? No ; I would rather die than acknowledge the
character. I never did scoop to Such disgraceful meanness, and I
hope never shall.
I*. fluxes, who attended for Mr. Perry, now asked whether
King intended to drop the information ?
King—l don't know; I don't know whether it is my band-writing.
Mr. Haase,. said, that as no evidence was produced to support
the information, it must be dismissed. He,however hoped the
information would' be impounded, es it was the Intention of Mr.
Perry to- take proceedings on thin account, against Mr. -Barfield.
Mr. Barfield said, be was quite convinced that sufficieut preg&
might be adduced to support the information.
Mr. Nausea said, he was convinced of quite the conttary. It
was a'shameful and a scandalous thing, for Mr. Barfield, who was!
in the same business with Mr. Perri, to go about in this manner,i
casting imputations calculated to blacken the character of an honour-
able man, without the slightest shadow of foundation. He would'
ask Mr:Barfield, whether this information had not been 'laid by
ids direction ?
• Mr. Barfield confessed it had, but he was quite sure there was
foundation for it. . t
Mr. Hammes said, that was by assisesas the fact, and repeated
his request that the Magistrate 'Woad impound the Information.
