Mise Harriet Martineau, in a letter to The Anti-
Slarery Standard, thus speaks of the Prince of
Wales:
81 need hardly offer the word of warning which yet
it may be as well TO uter-hat all gosspng stories
about bis love affairs, or any other pranks some OF
which have appeared in American newspapers, are
altogether false. 1t is a pity that any Engiishman
stoops write such unworthy TO your jour-
nails The Prince is only 49, he has always beeu care
fully guarded and accompanied; and his relaxations
from his studies and the really serious objects Of his
life have been healthfu field sports and worthy manly
pleasures. Other families and individuals can defend
their regulations. Royal families and young princes
cannot; and every fair-minded person is indignant
accordingly when they are lbeled.'
The widow of Mr.. Fleury, the New Orleans mer-
chant whose return to life announced by paper

whom Mr. Weber M, husband spilled, would only
vouchsafe for answer that The Bee was responsible
for whatever articles it pleased TO publish in is

fact; but meanwhile the writers of The Bee continue
IN the crueest manner TO sport with the affections Of
an honest tsmily who have never done them any in
jury These artces-besdes that they are calculated
70 confuse the commercial affairs of my husband Mons
Weber casting uncertainty upon his acquired rights
have already had for result the sad privilege of
affecting my daughter Adnevine Henry, that she
has fallen seriously ILL., In such circumstances in order
TO arrest the evil which il desired 10 do US, beg of
you Messrs. Editors of The Courier TO announce in
your journal that the story Of The Bee about NJ Fleury
