Almost everything promistth hap piness to us at distance, but when art core nearer to it, either we fall short of It or it falls short of our expectation S and it 1 hard to say which of ih e is the greatest dlssppointmenl.' TUluUon, lie plays the game of the great enenoj who places temptation in the way of others. If thin conclusion be deemed sound In a general point of view, it has special force when applied to the young. With princi ples scarcely fixed, with great inexperience of life, surrounded by much that is novel and much that is be wildering, . the young ,nwJ&ncerJ HL protected by ev ery restriction ana raieguaririrBicTit&O-J) ranged around them. Comma nd and con trol of monry should sorely be slowly, gradually, and sparingly entrusted to them, only after their bent, disposition, habits, and principles have been carefully ascertained. The contrary course is cruelty. Poor Weston feelingly alludes to this point iu hi touching defence. As lo tile other haunt, to the delirium and excitement to which he mainly ascribes his fall, that may safely be pronounced A scene in which tho Tempter daily and hourly triumphs. Th' gaming hou$f ! How'many hundreds has it swiftly con ducted lo the felon's dock, the crowded transport, and the fntal scaffold I How many heart9 has it broken ! How many despaiiing suicides has it made! How many hearts has it desolated ! What wide spread misery and wretcneaness has u caused ! More, and general, and lusting anguish has it occasioned than any other vice, that monster evil drunkenness alone excepted. The woe it hers brought on many a confi ding parent ! But enough. Let comment give place to facts. On the Uth of April, 1790, two of the officers belonging to Bow street arrived in town, from Liverpool, with Henry Wsston, charged with committing forgeries on the Banks of England to the amount of 17, 000. He had succeeded in reaching Liv erpool, and had shipped his luggage on board the ' Hector,' bound for the Leeward Islands. The vessel had dropped down to a place called the 'Gut,' about seven miles below Liverpool, and was to have sailed the next mominir. The officers found him in bed at Botes' Hotel, with a brace of loaded pistols by 1113 Side. On their Way to town Weston found means to conceal a case i r .1 1 1 own itiroat, dui mmsniT one or me arteries, ili'l not eflict his purpose. On the 14lh of the following month Weston was put on trial at t he Old Bailey, for forging nnd uttering a warrant of attornej-, by means of which he transferred JC5.000, 3 per cent , the proper ly of Generul Tonyn. He had likewise transferred 11,000 of the same stock be longing to the same officer, but was indicted for the former offence only. The fact being fully proved, a letter written by the prisoner lo his employer, Mr. Cowan, on his abscond ing from London, was read in court. It men tioned, among other circumstances, thai he, e prisoner, had lost, by speculating in the funds 17,000, entrusted to his care by Sir Hugh TuUiser W aters, uarl.; teat he afler- wnrd had ventured lmmeiise sums in specu- la.ing at Messrs. Mackay and Forbes: and IIIU A111V4 rvlllUKU DUIJ1S 111 DLTClU I continuing bi.ll unlucky, had recourse to the I gaiumg house, where his ill fortune followed him, and he was under the necessity of im posing on the credulity of Mr. Cowan, by forging two powers of attorney in the name of General Tonyn, the one for 1 1,000, the other for 5,000 stock, belonging to that gentleman. That he had paid an immense sum to Mr. C. K., at Forbes', besides lo sing 1 ,000 in the last lottery, and other great losses which he had experienced at , different gaming tables. The letter then 1 alluded to several debts which were owing I to him, and finished by a declaration that ; he was so dreadfully affected by his mis-, conduct that he could live no longer. The concluding worda were. 1 God foririve me ' KiniuhT ins panwioons, an on ennnging 0fjjfe : 'not,' as he himself strange! phra cliaiics at Bat ncf, he rerjueatpd permission to e(j j, .ftbout his own conJucl IDdiriduaKj ; xviilnlmw fora brief space, where hecut his rnr wht ho hml renlixeA h The signature was that of 1 Henry Wes-: The Havana journals have received adrj ton.' .
