Acting under the maxim that honesty wes the

omnipotsnt, and public justice certain, bore the
unmerited reproaches cast upon me, as became me.

in the hearts, and by the spontaneous acclamations
Of my fellow. citizens. The industry and malignity
Of my enemies will no doubt prompt perseverance,
in these attacks. PeTversions of my language,
misrepresentation of my course, old scraps from
tattered and obsolete newspapers-even fabrica-
ton and forgery are and will continue to be en-
ployed to vituperats aud vllfy me. But like all
preceding assaults, they will be unavailable and
shall remain invulnerable to them nh. Clay.

Foco Delegation, to break the force ofhs scathing
speech in the House of Representative. The Lo-

A HARD CASE On Friday, a habeas corpus
case was heard before Judge Parsons, which ex-
cited considerable interest among the listeners.
The following are the facts the names of the
parties not being material, are Of course omitted.
On last Saturday, young couple of progresses
ing appearance entered into the holy state of
matrlmony. The bride and bridegroom lived
together until Tuesday, when the former left
her husband for the purpose of visiting her ia
ther. AS she did not return, the husband went
after her, but was informed by her parents that
she did not desire to go with him, and that he
could not be permitted to see her. After seve-
raj Intellectual attempts to have an interview
with his wife, he at length concluded that she
was held in restraint by her parents, and he ac-
cordingly applied for writ of habeas corpus,
returnabe before Judge Parsons yesterday. The
parties appeared according to the commands of
the writ, and the relator stated his case. The
respondent then produced the lady as Witness
who testified that she was under no restraint
whatever, and that hel flight and continued abb
sence from her husband was entirely voluntary.
10 the question by the Court whether she was
willing 10 go back and live with her husband,
she returned decided negative, but would as
sign no reason for her strange determination, nor
Tor the sudden and unaccountabe dislike which
she had taken to him, whom she had but few
days before promised before God and man TO
love, honor, and obey. We have no right to
presume that she had not sufficient cause for
her conduct. The writ was dismissed-the
Court having no authority in the matter

cent Of the horrd crime with which she is charged
TO save her. Her counsel visited her on Tues
day. He will probably sue out a writ Of ha6eas
corpus to have the proceedings carried before
some other Judge, but it will be impossible, as
she is certainly in no situation to be removed.

IHE SUIclDE-ATTEMPTED SUIcIDE-STRANGE
MoNoMANIA.- body was inferred yes

possession is believed to have been recovered.
He was the only one connected with the rob-
berry. He has paid dearly for his crime Awful
indeed has been his end He exhibited, it is
said, considerable fnesse towards persons re-
siding in other portions of the house in Riving-
ton street, in relation to the trunk, frequently
joining III the sentiment expressed, that it must
have been very bad man that stole it, &c. This
shows that he was fully aware Of the nature Of
the offence. The Express notes it as a singular
fact, that criminal committed suicide (also by
hanging) in the same cell in which Lechlner did,
about three years ago, and the cell is nearly ad-
joining to that in which the unhappy John C.
Colt put period to his existence wear or two
since, when about to be executed for the murder
OF Adams-this being 81 and that 81. Lechner's
wife also lntlmated her intention to commit sui
eide before her release yesterday. The intelli-
gence OF her husbands death was studiouslv
kept from her, it being supposed that the shock,
in her present state Of health, would be more
than nature could bear. She came to this coun-
try, It is said, in the same vessel with deceased

rled five days after the recent robbery had been
committed. Our readers are aware that an I'M
fortunate female, named Amel Norman, had
been IN the tombs for attempting the life of her
former acquaintance, a merchant named Ballard.
This woman also attempted TO commit suicide
In her cell, but was prevented. She turned up
her bed on one end in the same manner as
Lechner did his, tied handkerchief to the bed,
had the nooze formed and her neck in 1t, when
MIR. Fallon. the head keeper, fortunately went
into her cell and was in time to cut her down
before she turned herself off. Her trial was set
down for yesterday. Another female prisoner
confined in neighboring prison attempted to
make way with herself at the hour when Lech-
ner hung himself II is very singular circum-
stance, that all these persons should experience
