I did it voluntarily and calmly, merely to give the
whole family some consolotiim in' their distress.
There was then some &stilt( ry conversation about
arresting me. Phis I knew 'was nut of- the question,
but I uffered, if the lawyer would undertake that I
should be bailed, to proceed immediately tit London.
He would not give me an assurance to that •eff tt. I
therefore declined returning to England intmediaiely ;
but I assured Messrs. Turaer and Critchtey that I
would certainly appear there very soon, and meet man:
fully, though submissively, the worst consequences of
what I had done.

On the same day I addressed a letter to Mr. Turner, in which I
eased), sought to remove from his daughter to myself all the blame
that might attach to our marriage; and repeated, even in stronger
terms, my previous declaration, under the same impulse that had
induced me to Make it to his brothers.
The following extract from that letter will thew the spirit in
which it was written :

" I am assured. Sir, by your brothers, that my marriage is null
end void. If this be the case, I shall feel the deepest regret, apt
on my own account, I hope, but because reparation will thereby
be put out of my power. If your daughter be not, and should never
be my wife, I have indeed done you an irreparable injury. In that
case I should desire to give you some pencil of abject repentance,
if any sacrifice on my part could only tend towards removing the
evils of which I shall have been the au:hor ; but I fear I shall be
unable to do you any good by suffering myself. Nevertheless
shall place myself at your disposition. Evert facility shall beaf-
forded by me for the pursuit of your vengeance. I go to Paris only
to fulfil an indi.pen.able engagement, and shall hasten to return to
suffer cheerfully whatever punisloneut it may be your pleaeuri,to
indict upon me.
" If I have not mistaken the spirit of your brother's measures,
nothing but the Act of Parliament can decide whether or not your
daughter be my wife. For her sake, I certainly trust that she is;
but if she be not, andif you decide that she never shall-be, then
have only to desire that every shadow of doubt may be removed
from the question ; and in effecting this, I shall not only be ready,
bat most anxious, to afford any assistance that it may happily be
billy power to ffer.
" I trust, Sir, that you will not misinterpret the spirit in which
this hasty letter is written. Ido not seek any favour from you ;
lam ant influenced by any feeling of alarm. I am prepared for;
and anxious to meet the consequences of what I have done; and I
have no hope of being able to persuade you to think favourably of
me. I have tried to write, in the first place, with a view to your
comfort, what undoubtedly would give me comfort in such a case •
and secoinily, under a conviction that I am your son, with the
manly frankness which, I trust, is habitual to me ; so that, at least,
if at present you know nothing but ill of me, you may learn that I
am anything but a meeting coward, who would hesitate to repair
a grievous wrong by every means in his.power.*
MC: Turner answered this letter by obtaining a war.
rant against me fur a capital felony. I no sooner heard
of it, than I hastened to England, where I have always
been anxious to surrender myself, and gave bail for my •
future appearance. Hitherto my offers to that effect
have obtained no answer from Mr. Turner's agents.
I am impelled to make this statement (from which I
have purposely excluded numerous corroborative de-
tails), not with a view of my own justification, for that,
I know, is impossible, but in orJer to remove from my-
self some of the most injurious, and from my, wife the
mortifying imputations which have been cast upop
It may be well to pursue me .vindictively,.but it is
cruel to make her suffer for my sins. I will therefore
trust, that this repeated acknowledgment of the injury
I have done to Mr. Turner, and the proof which it fur-

withwhich his agents have laboured,and are still striving
to make his daughter a public laughing stock, and the
object of everlasting curiosity and comment. •

CORN EXCHANGE, MARK-LANE, MAT 59.
The supply of English Corn was moderate • there was a good
quantity of Irish Oats, and a fair arrival of Flour. This morning
there is a moderate fresh supply of all sorts of Grain. The Wheat
trade is very heavy, and a reduction may be notes' of ls. to its. per
quarter from the prices of last Mouday.. Batley, except for grind-
ing, is without demand, and prices are nearly Dentinal : what sales
were made were at the rates of last Monday. Beans and Peas re- •
main at last quotations. Oats have a very dull sale,. and. hardly
support our last quotations. The Flour trade is in a very languid
state, though the top price remains at 555. per sack. . .
