The following paragraph from the E vening Star, was sent to it by its Liver pool correspondent, and recalls to our rec- oilection a remarkable tact in tne nisiory of the titled lady here spoken oC which we Ion? ihouL'ht of making public: The Countess of Harrirgl'on-ci de rant Miss Footes said to be in 2ry in different health. This lady, wbp has had the luck to win iv coronet in the' wane of her beauty, has behaved in a very exem plary manner since her marriage. She has not, however, been received at Court. At the Coronation, September, 1831, she wa.s pre-eminent j for the taste and rich' ness of her attire, and the grace of her carriage. It is well known that the present Coun tess of Harrinjrton, formerly the beautiful and talented Miss Foote the actress, was for some time under the protection, as it is very falsely termed, of the celebrated Col. Berkeley, Inow Lord Seaqrave, of Berkeley Castle. Gloustershire in Eng land. It is equally well known that the result of this coaoecijoh was two children, a grT and a hoyj Shortly after the birth of the latter, a weak minded young man of fortune, Mr. Joseph Hayne, better known as Pea-green Hayne, became so deeply fascinated with the charms of Miss Foote, that although he well knew these fa t3, he ofTered her his hand in marriage, She accepted the offer, and the nuptial cere- mony was on the point of being perform ed, when his friends interfered and res trained bim by! main force, by actually locking- him up in a room, from constim maling1 on engagement' which they con sidered to he degrading. For this breach 0 protaise, Miss Foote sued him in acuurt of law, ;and reeoveTiwd damages to the a mount of 3.000 sterling. He afterwards renewed the offer, and she feigned Jo a: cept it again ; but on the hour at which they were to go to the hymenial altar, Miss Foote ma4e herself scarce in her wedding attire, and would never after wards listen to his importunities. Poor Hayne got so unmercifully laughed at in the fashionable world of which he was a votary, that he abandoned , himself to a lower scale of society.-became a patron of I the pugilistic ring; jn sheer vexation with the ring of matrimony, and spent a large fortune in gambling. ' When i layne j first made hie infatuated proposals to Maria Foote, she was in the city of Dublin, and the younger of her chrdren, a boy, was but fiv or six months old. She boivevtr, left them hyth under the care of a Mr. McDermott, the wife of a respectable mechanic, then residing near . Sack vi lie.' st. and accompanied Hayne to the British metropolis. She never saw those children iafterwnrd. She wrote several times to Mrs. McDermott, inquir ing after them, aiid we believe promising" to send her money for their maintenance and education, but the. promise was never performed, and the correspondence ceas ed. Capt. Foote, Maria FooU-s father, called several times to see the children, hat he also at length left them to the un aided care of their foster mother, and was seen, by her no more. , Within a year from that period, Mrs. JMcDerraott emigrated with her husband to this country, and having no children of her own. and being nucii attached to the lovely children j she had nurtured, she brought them with her, rather than leaw them lo the mercy of an alms house. The little bov djed on the passage; her hus band died shortly after their arrival, and she is now a very poor widow, living in Orange street, and maintaining the daugh ter of Lord Seagrave and the Countess of Harrington by her humble but honest ex ertions river the washing-tub. We first saw this little girl about a year since in the ojfficeofjCovuwellor DeLucy,in Cham bers 8 reet, where she was employed in some medial duties about ' his apartroeuts. She was then1 between twelve and thirteen years of age, and was fully conscious of her parentage and abandonment. Be ing some w hat 'SncnJdulous respecting he r romantic story, curiosity induced us to ob tain 4o ioterrieAv with her foster mother, Mrs.. McDermottJ which resulted in a firm conviction upon bur miod that the narra tive was perfectly true in every particular. The general impression jn LnglantJ concerning ijie ite of these children, if we may judge, from the occasional inter est manifested - concerning them in -some of the English papers, is that they are en joying : all. the advantages of a wealthy and noble paternity, both in education and society, within tbe urine! v domain of Berkcly CastleJ But other papers say Vbejr are equally happy and prosperous under the maternal care of the Countess of Harrington, j This discrepancy may be considered, a collateral .evidence of the fact thfft these papers know-not where .theyAie; but merely indulge in fashiona ble rumors; Mrs. McDermotu however. can afford any inquirer satisfactory proof, both documentary and circumstantial; that she knows th'err fateand can produce one of them whose feature speak strongly fu the materyty she claims. Thus whilst Lord Seagrave ia spending his 50.000 sterling a year in a splendid circle Af luxu ry and fashion; and newspaper corf esppn 3ents, write ven to America of lhe xich pess ofxatiire,w the r pre-eminence the Uste" cj",lhe I'r:famed CounU s of, .Har- rington, the deserted daughter of these to tied parents is living upon the charity of a jpocx eeUe old washerworcan, who is scarcely able to earn a subsistence. . We met tne poof child yesterday carrying; a bundle jo William street and we can as sure the correspondent of the Evening star mat mere was very tune rienness in WerUir. - If any , person would , wish for the further particulars of this case of heart less abandonment,! we would be happy to introduce htm 'to poor Mrs. McDermotu and we doubt not thatChancellor De La cy would feel equal pleasure in. doing so. I . I- New York raoM tiiK FHtscn.; V Two Emotions It wad about sixteen years since that old Gen. had with drawn himself from the world, its pleas ures, and the sphere of politics. A sol dier from the eirly. days of tho empire. his manner of life was changed, and his time given up to the exerciseof a double occupation.. He consoled himself as well as he could with the gone by dream of glory, and superintended with great dili gence the studies of his niece, who with himself, occupied a modest cottage, wash ed by the pure waters of the. Loire, a few miles below Amboise. To his title of preceptor the old I general added the still more endearing one of I comforter.1 His tiiece was of that age when the heart vib rates with the' softest cmctions'and th gentlest sympathies in, brief, she loved. A onion was about to take)lace, which, for its fulfilment, awaited the relurn of a young officer of the army, then in Algiers. One evening, "'twas on the edge of summer," a barque driven by the wind and current, la.ieniwith young people of both sexes,- "gentle dames; and gallant squire?," was proceeding in the direction of Anihoise. The echo of the river re peated ihe sounds of the light guitar, and the accents of several musical voices'were heard from its binks. ; The young troop were singing the songs of the Loire, com position? no les iapplirable to the time and place than romantic, and well suiting the occasion. - . i . "Let's take this world in some wide scene, Through which in frail hut buoyant boat, With skies now rude and now serene,' Together thou and I must float The old general saw little' save the wreath of blue smoke which was slowly undulating, from the "bo'vl of a Turkish pipe. A the charmer of an idle hour;" but hi fair niece was lost in a reverie. The gay party on board had just finished a beautiful canzonette, entitled ' Espoir et Letour" and the young maiden, whose thoughts, light as, the air which fanned her countenance, had flown on wings of love, " where Afric's golden -rivers flow," leaving behind a sentimental languor not to be controlled, and two big round .tears fell almost unconsciously on the band of the general. Well,' nly dear niece," said the veteran, reposing hjs pipe on the table, are you so weak that a song should affrct and distress T' and, the old man laughed loud and j long, adding withal some quaint but! good humored irony to his remarks. A few moments' of silence ensued, and now another boat glides by It was freighted! by the: inhabitants and some of the dwellers on the banks of the rrver. Immediately was heard sounds of w rough tsnsic, like thexlaog of aims rough and deafening : while the air gave back the crash of instruments that seemed to rend the firmament; harsh arid discordant as "the din of w.ar," Just then a moon beam played ppon the river boat, and the tri-colored flag is 'seen reflected on the Id ue surface ofbe j water and now two masculine voices are heard joining the clashing cymbal, and the clarion's trump echoing to the skies the national air. "Allons, enfans de la palrie !" "Uncle, what is the matter?. Yon shed tears i feel them hot and burning 1 How is this? Can a Fong so disturb you, dear uncle ? ' said the .betrothed -damsel, ironi cally. "It is not a song," replied the old general; "it is the freeman s cry the people's voice the national hymn. Weep, weep tears of joy; ray child. The ro- mance Lhi lletourj is wortny ol our best sympathies the women 1 will ncderaiand toy appeal, and the-old veterans will com prehend mine ' j In the first boat was the friend and lover returned triumphant from Algiers; in! the feccond the citizens bad come to the genera!, seeking in bim a chief pledged to maintain the character and extend hi and wide the renown jof the old soldiers of La Loire. Lost Moxet F6uKP.--The Wheeling Gazette of the 0th 1 inst says We learn by a .passenger in a steam boat, that the packages of 6 100,000,'recehtly lost by the wiui viuuai carrying .11. irom Cincinnati 10 Philadelphia, was found near Zanrsvilfe, and that it had been sent orrto Cincinnati. We shall, probably,! learn -the particulars in a lew days. OxwiKii --Mr. Sailor," said an old ladyto a iveatber-bealen ta, who had called at her houie for a lancbeon,.
