ROMAN'TIC VICE.
The facts in the follow:ng statement are
though the allusion to the parties is myste:io
Some months ago a young Lady, unmar:l•
daughter of a Gentleman in a respectable sll :„
of life in Calcutta, and belonging to one of the le,;
ed professions at that settlement, suddenly di;
pcal ed. Oa the evening of the day on e
took place, the young Lady lest several lateen
dressed to her mother and sister, informing.
'that she had been lung unhappy in her mitt, ar4
had at last come to the resolution of putting a r,,.q
to her existence, and would have carried th 3
tion into effect before these letters could be per,,,,1
Immediately on the absence of the young Lady
made known, a diligent search was made for h•
tl,
her parents ; and, under the persua,ion that she h.
drowne4 herself, the river was carefully dra7,7o
many places. but no vestige of the
discovered. Soon after the family of the young 444,
went into mourning on account cf her suppo,,,i
sci
believed death. A young Gentleman of the I-241
profession had been in the habit of frequently • v!sa,.
at the house of the young Lady's father, and „
him and her a great degree of familiarity and in..;
macy had been rung observed. On receirm3 i•atr,
g:nce of the disappearance of the Lady, this
man affected an uncommon degree of grief, an ±.f.
pat ticularly active in searching for the supped
body. At the tine when tbe story cf the yo.ir.E,
dy's disappcarai ce was first told, many people ac,t
incredulous as to its truth; and Data ittntaading;',lt
circumstance cf the parents and friends arpar ag:2
public in mourning, still doubted the alleged
Suspicion, v.) far from being allayed, became
stronger, that the Lady was aline, and lie:eg
the legal Gentleman who had displayed and Oa
continued still to affect fo deep a sot row a' her
posed fate; and at length a di• covery was nude
...g
she was actually alive, supported ar.d visited hi tt..l
Gentleman, who had himself a wife living in Calcutta,
On this discovery being made, the father of the T. ad,
removed her to his own house, and took steps to
prosecuting her seducer. He, however, esca;c.'.
penalties of the law by leaving the coantry.
' An elopement took place last week from the vicisizy
of Croydon ;" a lady, US years of age, and who is in
ther of six children, absented herself from her herd
with a gentleman of fortune in Berks. The gallaa
was the intimate friend of the husband, and formerly
a brother officer in the same regiment.
