know was never, even under heavy trials, bad"
This was the last account Mr.. --- ever re-
ceived Judge, then, of his wretchedness.
II Is now known that Mr.. Maclean had formed
a Haisoa at Cape Castle with a woman OF that
country, by whom he has large family. Such
aisons are not considered disreputable there, and
the women are treated as wives. This person
lived in the castle its mistress, until the arrival
of Mr.. Maclean and poor l.. Il. L., when she was
sent off up the country. This woman was the
niece of one OF the merchants who sat on the in
quest. All the servants, with the exception OF the
man and his wife brought out by L. II. L., were
the creatures of the former mistress. The whole
of the female natives detest English women, be-
cause the presence of one there banishes them
from the society where they are tolerated in their
absence.
Mr.. Maclean admits that indispositon and men
tai ANNOYANCE must have rendered him far from
being kind or agreeable companion to poor Lee
titia but adds that had she lived little longer,
she would have found him very different, as he
was, when not i'll, and not tormented by various
circumstances, which he does not explain-easy
and good-tempered to fault.
He says, that never was there 80 kind or 80
faultless being earth as that poor, poor girl
as he calls her, and that he never knew her value
until he had lost her. Intact, his letter seems an
answer TO charges preferred against him by the de-
parted; and, what is strange, the packet that
brought the fatal news, brought no letter ofrecent
date from her, though she never missed an oppor-
tunty--and they occur rarely--of writing to him
Her letters--all Of which have breathed the fond

hope ofhappiness from her stern cold husband.

tale. / have peruscd all her letters to her --,
as well as Mr.. Maclean's to him. ought to add
that, when they landed in Africa, Mr.. Maclean SET
off leaving his wife, and proceeded to the castle
TO dislodgc his mistress and children. The ma
tives were angry and offended at seeing their coun-
trywoman driven from her home.
