Renders of tho daily Graphic will remember that a abort time ago an ar ticle appeared in tlieso oolnmns. the objeofc of which won to show that the book for whioh a reward of .Cl,000 line recently-been offered is the only re maining oopv of n work published in London in 17tt0, nnd containing an »n count of tho marriage of Georgo IV. to Mrs. Fitxherbort, and of tho issue of that marriage, who, if living, might fairly proti nd to tho orown of England. It in known that such a book wsh pub lished in that yonr and suppressed an oompleloly us possible, but. that it must have contained matter besides the ac count of tho marriage and issue—mat ter whioh, in connection wiMi the pob- Tlm announcement that tho $.'100,000 Ret of diamonds presented by tho kho- dire of Egypt to Gen. Sherman’s daugh ter had been removed to tho sub-trous ury, had uo purcoptiblo ( fleet on tho throng < f onrioua people who have au- noyed Deputy Collector Lvdccker dur ing tho past three days with appeals for "just ono look" lit them. They bo- siegod tho collector’s office in snob num bers and were so aggravatingly persist ent that Mr. Lydeoker was compelled, at an early hour, to order the door to be locked. No description yet published of it has been entirely correct. Eight immense round atones, surrounded by smaller ones, are linkod together at equal distances by two rows of small HtoneB, four of the links containing twenty stones each, and four others sixteen stones each. Another row of iminll diamonds is fnetoned in flvo fes toons to the lower row of tho front links, at equidistant intervals from eaoh of the large diamonds. From each point of contnot bungs an immense pear-shaped diamond, surrounded by smaller dia monds, the fastening being of filagree gold work, dotted with still smaller diamonds. There nro nevon of tlieso pendants. On each sido of tho oentre pendant, and hotweon the fostoon and tho lower row of tho main link, is a largo medallion of filagree gold work, stnddod with large and small diamonds. The central one of these on the left medallion, a stone of about fonr carats, is pronounced by experts to bo the best stone iu tho oolleatfon on acconnt of its exquisite pnrity and brilliuucy. The diamonds are sp arranged that they gradually increase in size from the back toward the front, exoept in the festoons, in oooli of whi?h the largest diamond is in tho center, the others graduating up ward toward tho point of fastening. The link, festoon, and surrounding dia monds range from one to four carats in bi’zc. The large round stone iu frout ia five eights of an inch ia diameter, and tho others are hut Mttle smaller. Bo much for the necklace. The tipper part of each ear-ring is oomposed of two solitaire stones, of four and six carats respectively, one above tfce other, tho lioition of the "Grovillo Memoirs, that part of them whioh was not pub lished, might do serious damage to tlio present royal family—is evident from a number of considerations, In tho first place, that marriage has practically been recognized by tho English govern ment. Mrs. Fitzherbort having ro- ooived a pension during her lifetime, whioh was continued to her son, who is now, und for a umubor of years has boon, a resident of thin oitv, in which ho is n musician in one of the tho- Wter .orchestras. Tip bears a otriking roserablunoo to GctugB* IT:, fiM htii exalted birth lias long boon known to a few of bin friends. Marin Fitzlierberj. was born in July, 1750, of an old Oath- olio family of Hutupshire, and wm> mnrricd Huooessivoly to El ward AVcld, df Doroot, and Thomas Fitzherbort, of Hbatlord, being left a widow a second lime In 17H1. Four yoars afterwards Georgo IV., thon prince of Wales, and “the first, gcnllomnu of Europe," first iw her, and in December, 1785* they ..era privately married by n clergyman of thn Edabiished Ohnroh in the pres ence of witnoEsus. This union was-oot. legally valid, for the English lawn pro hibits a marriage between a subj’.ot and a prilieo of the blood royal, Tlio king subsequently married Q men Caroline, quarreled with her, and returnod to Mrs. Fitzherbort. His excesses com pelled her to loavo him, and she retired to Brighton, where she outlived both Georgo IV. und his succoaBor, receiving a largo pension froty tho government.. Buoli is the account, given in "Tlio American Oyohq mlin" nnd in her "Memoirs," liy I ho Hon. Charles Lang- dole (Londf)n, ami tho continu ation of purt of the mother’s pension to tho son iu proof thut. the present gov ernment reoognizfo tho validity of his claims ns, ot loust, a sou by a morgauio mnrringo. But how does this argue with tho in ference from tho " History of tho Fitz- herbort Letters," whioh was published a few yoars ago by Bnntloy ? According to this book, Mrs. FUzhcrbert confided to her executors—the Duko of Welling ton, Lord Albemarle and nnothor—a scaled packet, whioh was by them de posited in Ooutts' panic, and wns to re main unopened unler-H her character should bo unsailfd, when it was to be opened nnd publiahed in vindication of ♦ ho purity of her relations with Grargo IV. Those relations worn very well known, and the foot that, after tho vio lent H’tacK on tho character of Mrs. Fitzhorbcrt wan mndo in tho Edinburgh iiuvu-w, tno packet was not allowed to bi* published, bIjoyr that it contained o'her documents than tlm marriage cer tificate whioh it would not do for the reigning family to have brought to light. Tho " History of tho Fiizherbert Lottpis" shows vory plainly thut power ful and royal influences woro used in suppressing tho faoln, and tho govern ment nt, onoo onmo down in a very em phatic manner upon tho Publisher nnd upon tho hook, of whioh, however, there is at least ono copy now in this city. Therefore it seems impossible that the Inst book for which tho largo sum of £1,000 is now offered und tho packet deposited iu Coutts’ bank merely con tain a detailed account of tlio marriage of Georgo IV. with Mrs. Fiizherbert, unless, indeed, tho legal showing of a fact which, though well known, bad never been proved in court, be dreaded. Aud yet, with un all-powerful parlia ment, whioh may change tlio succession nt will, what, harm could come fiom its establishment? During Queen Caro line's trial for adultery publio opinion wns so strongly in her favor that the government abandoned the prosecution, und populur opinion, expressed in par liament, is tlie British constitution. Lord Brongham wus tho queen’s coun sel, and at tho trial ho hinted, in a way not to he misunderstood, that if the ohnrgo was pressed tho defense could and wonld provo tho liing'n marringe with Mrs. Fiizherbert, which by the law would huvo excluded him from tho throuo. This was then not to bo thought of. lint how would such proof bo of sorvioo or harm to anybody now? In no oonoeivablo way. The case then stands thus: Tho marriage, though not legally valid, is well-known to havo been celebrated; the marriage has novor beon logally established, but should it now bo legally established no harm oonld oomo from it. It follows that tho lost book contains something more than has commonly boon stippoeod, and something that, if generally known, would work very serious injury to Home body—somo family or eomo intereHt that oan afford to pa^ largely for FACTS AND FANCIES. —Tlio Into emperor of China left a widow only sixtoon years old. —A Georgia min imiatod on smoking in ohnroh, nnd drew ont a twelve inch bowie-knife to provo his right, —A Memphis doctor treated a roan for asthma when the diaeoso was kid ney complaint, nnd a jury mado him fork over $3,000, whioh soothes the kidnoya wonderfully. —"I guess I’ll tako this book," re marked a Chicago lady to tho olerk of a bookstore; "it’s got twice, as much gold-loaf on tho cover as any of the rest." —Sheridan didn’t always get tho best of a dialogue.
