Great sensation has been caused at
Toprsand it* yicipity, especially among
the resident English, by ihp trial, last
week, before the Court of Assizes of
the depart ment,'of the Count Forest ier
de ; Ct*u!»ort, on the charge of enticing
from*lier home, a young girl named
Isabella llarnilton, daughter of au Eng
lish clergy mu o, resident at Tour*.
months ago, M. de Foresiiei
went’live in ibiit city, for the bene
fit ol bis wife's health, and in his walks
he W If in with Miss Isabella H-, who,
with her (.wane, accompanied her young
sisters and biothers in their promen
ades. He commenced an acquaint
once by giving the children cakes, arid
“tewawbunade g |M>im ot’befeg every
day on the promenade-when Miss Isa
bella arrived. Alter awhile* it appear
ed, according to the. indictment, he be
gan lp make love lo the young Jndy. and
she received His advances with good
grace. She used also to indicate to;
him, by placing a flower-pot in a pe
culiar position in her window, in what
C romcnade he might meet her. He, at
tft. said the indictment, persuaded her
to leave her father’s roof, and in com
pany with the L mnc, a young girl nam
ed Adele Gendran, aged seventeen, to
go to I’nris, where he said he would
secure her an apartment, and would
provide for both. Isabolla, it seemed,
was very glad to get away from home,
os her parents were about to semi her
to school in England—a measure to
which-aim hod the strongest possible re
pugnance ; she even, it appeared had
gone the length of telling Forest ier that
shp wopld sooner commit suicide by
poison than be sent away.
^Forestier, it was alleged, arranged
with bor that she and her servant Adele
should leave the house of the Rev. Mr.
Hamilton in the evening of the 22d May
last, and that they should go to Paris.
He had previously written a letter to a
friend wf his, the Baron de Viver, telling
him to meet the girls and provide lodg
ings 4br them. This letter he com
menced by saying: • I send tni you, mv
dear friend, a young English girl, aged
fifteen, with a pretty little face, light
hair,' clear blue eyes, delicate nose,
sensual mouth, and a slightly prominent
chin. She is :he daughter of an Irish
minister, who has a host of children.—

the friend ><o Im cautious, and says:

vani Adele lo «lo so like Wise! It was
uly by their entreaties *bat she had
;one. On arriving at Paris, Vivier told
er that Forest ier was in love with
Iter, and would die if obliged* tr* lire
without her- When told ol the way in
which he had spoken of her in his letter,
she burst into tears, and said, 44 Ab !
it is painful to see his contempt for me!
I opened tny h>*art m him, and he learn
ed that I loved hint. Yes, ( knew be
was married. Alas! I know not bow
1 could have acted so !* In the third
examination Isabella again varied her
story, rib© said she bad laid too much to
the count’s charge; that, in consequence
of dissension* with-her sisteT, she had
resolved on leaving her parents; that
she had declared to Forestier that if he
would not take her away she would
\u>i$nn herself, and so on. She added
that she had spoken against him on the
last occasion, because she had been told
lb at he had declared be would sooner
goto the galleys for life than marry her.
At the trial (which look place before
court crowded Co excess,) Isabella,
her father, mother, ami elder sister, did
not appear to give evidence, though all
bad been summoned. The principle
evidence for the prosecution consisted
in the reading of the indictment, and in
the testimony of Mr. Hailey, Lieuten
ant Colonel-Campbell, and a younger
brother and sister of Isabella, as to the
precise age of that young lady. They
all staled that she Was about fourteen.
This point was important, as, by French
law, the crime of what is called de-
tournenent d'vne jtunt Jille mature,
ly be committed when the girl is
der sixteen; after that, she isennsider-
ered a free agent, and is accountable
for her own actions. Baron de Vivier
examined, but his evidence threw
little light on the affair. When asked
by the President- how he could have
acted as he had done, he said he had
been influenced by his friendship for de
Forestier. It was slated that, since
this unfotunate affair, Forestier’* wife
had died, and that he, anxious to make
all the reparation in his power for the
injury he had done her, had offered
marry her, but that her father bad pos
itively refuted.
Forestier caused evidence to be giv
en by several persons, to prove that
he Jiad every reason to believe, from
Isabella’* personal appearance ami
•liter circumstances, that she was more
2 ualit : es and inioitice of the so-called
’nmpromiso bin, and to show that it
presented the same issues, though un
der a different name, upon which Louis
iana has repeatedly expressed her de
cided sentimentsthat the pill which
had been frequently rejected by them
bad ooly been gilded to deceive the
South into swallowing it. He had, in
his course, faithfully carried out the ex-
E ressed sentiments of the people of
ouisiana. He bad voted against the
admisston of California, under a Consti
tution-embodying the Wifmot Proviso,
and excluding the South from a partici
pation in the benefits of a territory ac-
quirod by-the joist vaIor,-exertion. and
treasure of the people. Ifjait Consti
tution wax made by speculators, who
bad no interest in California; but who
thus undertook to fix in all time to come
the destiny ol a country, four-fifths of
which had never been occupied or seen
by them. He bad also voted agaiost
the creation of two Freesoil States out
of the territory of Texas. In fine, he
had sustained the rights of Louisiana
and the South to stand on an equality
with the other States. He had resisted
the attempt to impose upon them the
burden of seventy-five out of a hundred
millions of the cost ot the Mexican war,
and at the same time to exclude them
irom all the advantages of that
In his course he had not only strug
gle against some of the gigantic intel
lects of the country, but bad experi
enced the still greater difficulty of hav-
ing to protect bis own constituents
against themselves—of resisting the
floods of calumny and misrepresentation
which had been on this subject by the
press of this State, with some honora
ble exceptions. He was very severe
upon journals which, instead of enlight
ening the people on the matter, had in
volved the important questions which
agitated the country in such a gloom
and darkness that, although the Com
promise was on the Up* of every body,

In lire winter of 1340, a lady wlwhad j W.nnan's Biglns C.mveminn assembled
lately been deprived by dcalb ST.aJ j„ ,his city, no Wednesday bwntta,—
daughter, was on a visit to Nciv-Or- 'fen States were represented, fix ■
leans. Amongst other places of curi
osity and interest, she was induced by
feelings ot the tendercst compassion to
look in ot the room appropriated to the
reception of those"destitute children, to
be examined as to their fitness for the
charity of the Orphan Asylum. Imme
diately on her entering the room, a lit
tle girl of about the same age of her
own lost child sprang into her arms,
called her mother, and by endearing
caresses, evinced her joy at being re
stored, ns she believed, to her lost pa
rent. On inquiry, the following facts
were elicited relative to her previous
history.
A.few hours after the dreadful tor
nado, a steam boat landed at Natchez,
when a servant girl brought u little girl
on board, stating that she had walked
out with '.he child just before the storm
commenced, and that on her return,
she found the house entirely demolish
ed—*she had been looking for her mis
tress in every direction, and had almost
arrived at the painful conviction that
she was buried beneath the ruin*.
The chambermaid of the boat offer
ed lo taka charge of the child, whilst
the girl returned lo make a further
search; and during her absence the
boat started for Naw Orleans—the
child remained on board.
On the return trip every inquiry was
made at Nachez tor the family or ser
vant, but nothing could be heard of
them. The child continued on the
boat, under the charge of the chamber
maid, until the captain objected to her
remaining on board. Then she was
placed at an infaut shchool in Now-Or-
leans, the chambermaid visiting her and
defraying her expenses on each arrival
of the boat, until the yellow fever de
prived the little nuicasiof her last friend,
the good chambermaid.
The woman who kept the infant
school then turned the child into the
street, from whence she was taken to
the room where she had the happiness
of finding a second mother. The lady
whom she believed to be her mother
determined to adopt her, and since then
she has been treated in all i*espect as
of the family. So careful of her
happiness has this truly charitable lady
been, though the little child is now a
fine intelligent girl of between twelve
and thirteen year* of age, and associ-
:ted with the lady's own children, both

Miss Davis, on inking the£hair, read
a very elaborate pbillippicul and social
istic add retson the wrongs and right*
ol women. She presented (herestraints
under which woman is bound down it»
slavery, in a very touching manner.'—
She asserted the equality of woman bv
nature, and protested she was entitled
to equality in politics, legislation, and
every thing else. Woman wanted an
equal chance to the unfolding of her
great capacities: she was bound to have
it. Society was in n slate of barbarism
while it denied the equality ol privileges
political, religious, anil ail other privi
leges.
On motion of Lucretia Mott, who con
sidered the address too tame, the ques-
ion of adoption was left open to debate;
md, on motion, all those present, white
and black, were invited lo participate.
Letters were received from which the
" flowing extracts were read.
Mr. Lucius R. Hymle, of Cincinnati,
put in a letter maiutaini'.ig the equality
of woman in her rights to all the privi
leges assumed by man—the right to
vote, to hold offices, und logo to battle
if necessary, leaving man to take their
share of the duties of the kitchen and
nursing.
Miss Elizabeth WHborn, of Ohio, put
a protest against the despotism,
which makes them inferior beings, in
point of intellect, when it was no such
thing. She thought that Jenny Lind,
tn her public^inging for the amusement
of the tyrant! over Her sex, was violat

Speeches and resolutions of similar

not the faintest suspicion of her real
position. She was, at the time of her
being adopted* about (wo years old, a
very beulifel and intelligent child, with
uncommon fair cotnplexiion, brown
hair, blue eyes, with long black eye
lashes- She had forgotlon her own
name and that of her parents, but from
her knowing the names and
various articles of luxury, and speaking
of her father’s carriage, and from her
entire freedom from any vulgarism in
manner or thought, it is presumed that
her family were respectable. If any
reliance could be placed on the con
versation of so young a child, it might
be supposed that her parents were for
eigners—perhaps Scottish, perhaps
Catholic.
It was supposed that her own parents
were dead, but from feels lately elicited
such is probably not the case; and it
is for Ibe purpose of gaining informal,
that the little that is known of her histo
ry is made public. Anyone knowing

It wtll he recollected that during the
revolutionaryV excitement in Ireland,
in 1848, a large amount of money was
raised in this country, to aid the movers
on the other side. In this city some
$3,000 were collected, and placed in (he
hands of the “ Irish Directory,” a com
mittee of gentlemen appointed nt h
j general meeting of the sympathisers in
^aneuil-HaiL Al that meeting it was
also voted that' the fends should be ap
propriated to certain purposes. Soon
after, the interference of the British
Government made it certain that the
Irish patriots could accomplish nothing,
and the Boston **Directory” voted to
fund the money in their possession until
some more auspicious day. This last
act of the Directory has been disap
proved of by some of the contributors,
and the result is that a suit has been
commenced against the committee.—
The prosecutig parties are Daiiel
Crowley, o| East Boston, who gave
$100, and Patrick Murray, of Ann

before the Court of Common Please on

counsel on both sides, it was transferred
to the Supreme Court. March Term.—

A Fancy Ball—Saltle Ward.
The Louisville papers give an elo
quent and graphic description of a great
Fancy Ball recently given at the resi
dence of Robert J. Ward, Esq., of that
city. We perceive that Miss Sallie
Ward,-the well known Kentucky beau
ty, who was divorced from T. Bigelow
Lawrence of Boston, a few mouths af
ter their marriage, was the ruling belle
in tbit brilliant affair. The Louisville
Courier thus alludes to her.
Miss Sallie Ward, as usual, was the
center of attracting. She appeared
during the evening in two splendid
costumes, each of which was peculiarly
becoming. Before supper she was
