The star of the north. [volume] (Bloomsburg, Pa.) 1849-1866, 1850-03-07

her under pretence OF seeing my WIG =
Henry spoke to her first, and asked her il
she was not conscious of having committed
a great fault or great crime; at first she deni'
cd having done anything wrong; but when
we told her we had evidence of her frequent
nocturnal interviews with DIR. ****** she al
first admitted that he had come up frequent
iy after coming home with her from parties
but when we told her that we knew more
than that, she at last admitted distinctly that
he had come by appointment after midnight,
or after all the household were in bed she
admitted he had been there three times in
that way by appointment and she admitted
he had been there the previous night also ;
she said that on the evening previous, Miss
Fanny Smith had brought Mr. - home
with her, and that Fanny was present at the
interview.
After time, when she was pressed for a
more ample statement, she was much agita-
ted, cried, and put her hand to her side; and
fearing she might have Mysteries, we sentfor
my wife, who had not previously been in
the room she called Arthur TO her, and said
she had taken poison; had taken arsenic -
we first thought of sending for physician
and stomach pump, but, on reflection, we
were satisfied she could not have taken arse
mic, as she had not been out of the house
since she came there, and had already been
there some time she remained there all the
rest of the day, and left my house in the e.
vening perfectly well-no signs of poison !;
the members of Mr.. Middleton's family and
myself determined that il was best for her to
leave Philadelphia, as it would not be proper
for her TO remain with old Mrs. Middleton !;
but we wished her to go 10 some retired
place in America-some village in New Eng
land, or New York, to remain until her hus-
bands return, which was shortly expected !;
two days after this interview, Mrs Middleton
left Philadelphia with MT Henry Middleton,
for New York; have a knowledge of MIS-
middleton having in her possession books of
an improper character; she had some of the
works of George Sand-among them, one
called "Indiana," perhaps one of the most
immoral works in the French language
which have since partly read; it is most
eloquent apology for adultery-ihe.mos elo-
quent ever written; it is in form Of novel;
she also had another work of MI, Of
a very improper character; twas in Franch-
and was called 'The Loves of the Gods and
Goddesses;;" forget exactly the title of it !;
saw the book and his name in it had
never read tn book "Indiana," until heard
of it being in Mrs Middleton's possession;
friend gave me its character, and as she had
read ii, | was curious to know what it was.
We then have letter from lizard Middle
ton, the uncle of Edward, which gives some
statements of interest
"Pa,is, 1st August, 1s49.
Dear Harry am at a loss 10 account for
the discrepancy between your letters g. those
of your brother on the subject of Edda-a
subject of paramount family interest at this
moment-you say she has been guilty of
great imprudencies.' Now, if that is the
extent of her guilt, have been very harsh
to her. welcomed her here, and sped her
on her way as one of US. Ny knowledge of
the ways of woman kind, led me 10 Disco
yer that all was not right but the height of
her offending then, suspected, was that she
had made bold stroke for residence of
some time in Europe by crossing her hus-
band, knowingly, on the Atlantic. Soon af-
ter her departure, received letters from Ar
thur and John, saying that she had been
guilty Of Adultery! with the aggravating cir
cumstance of its being promiscuous, and un
der the roof inhabited by your mother. My
mind was made up accordingly, and left
the letter in which she announced her arri-
val at Naples, unanswered Not taking the
hint, she has written twice since, drawing
upon me the first time for 1,O00f and the Sc
cond time for 2,0OOf., and requesting me 10
reimburse myself on the estate! These
drafts have refused to honor, and without
the slightest hesitation or compuncion for
if she is 10 run about Europe spending the
money of the husband she has dishonored,
il shall not be through my instrumentality.
With her passage paid, presume she had
500 in gold, provided by you it would ap.
pear that she touched about 5000 additional,
from the two unfortunate houses in Naples,
SO that in three months she will have absorb
ed three.fourths of her husbands annuity.
Edward, poor fellow, has already been
called to this Painful dutyl 1t is perhaps
r'eh', however, that he should be aware of
what is going on in Naples in order that he
may provide for or against continuance of
it, as he may have judged proper to con-
denim or absolve her. In this do as you may
think proper, but, at all events, assure him of
my sincere participation in this great afflic-
tion.
Arthur is still in London, but does not
mention in his last whether he had taken any
steps in this affair. hope not. We are 60
ing on prosperously here since the last prank
of the Republicans in June, and which cali
led forth the estate of Seige;" as long, in
deed as we have real despotism under a
nominal Republic we can get on-but
doubt whether the House can stand, as the
foundation is faulty.
