Snorat:sn AND FAT %I. EVENT% IN }IIaH I.tre.—Se-
reral Families, moving in the first circles in high life,
have just been thrown into a stAte of the utmost af-
fliction, by the horrible depravity of a young man, the
nephew of a Peer of the first consegnener, who, in re-
worse of conscience for acts the most shocking, has
terminated his own existence, by blowing out his brains.
The deceased was on a visit in the family of a Noble-
man at Geneva; and, whilst an inmate, he (horrible
to relate) seduced two of the daughters of his host,
who, both proved pregnant. Unable to bear ' the
stings of conscience,' lie terminated his existence with
a pistol. Letters, containing the dietressing partici-
" Isrs, arrived in town on Monday last, in consequence
of which the intended Assembly, at a certain great
house, has been postponed, and the inmates are plunged
into unutterable grief. The seduced Lunn are both
solder age. One of them, it is said, attempted to
Annoy herself with patsy" when the shocking 'dia.
every took place.
