CM ILLUSTRIOUS BRITISH EXILE, AN ANECDOTE OF LIFE IN BOTANY BAY A few years ago I made . the -ac quaintance of an elderly lady, whose husband, so far back as 1799, held an official position, both civil and milita ry, in the colony of Now south Wales. Many anecdotes she told me of cele brated characters who had, in the words of one of them, "left their coun try for their country's good. With most, if not with all, of these celebri ties, the old lady had conic in contact personally. "One morning," she began, "I was sitting in my drawing room with my two children, who are now mid dle-aged man with large families, when a gentleman was announced. I gave the order for his admission; and on his entering the door of the apart ment, I rose from my chair, andgreet ed h im with a bow, which he returned iii the most graceful and call* nifiiiner imaginable. His dress was that of a person who had moved in the highest circles of society. A vessel had ar rived from England a few days previ ously with passengers, and I fancied that this gentleman was one of them. I asked him to be seated. He took a chair, opposite to me, and at onec en tered into conversation, making the first topic the extreme warmth of the day, and the second the healthful ap pearance of my charming children— as he was pleased to speak of them. Apart from a mother liking to hear her Children praised, there was such a seeming sincerity-in all he said, ad ded tosueh a marvelous neatness of expression, that I could , not help thinking he would form a very valua ble acquisition to our list of acquaint ances, provided he intended remain inc. in Sydney,. .instead of settling in the interior of the colony. "Icxpressed my regret that the Major (AV husband) Was from home; but I itteiritiOWed.*,a,t I expected him at 1 o'clock, a which hour we took luncheon; and I futher expressed a hope that our visitor .would remain and partake of. the meal. With a very pretty smile (which I niterwards discovered had more meaning in it than I was at the time aware of,) he feared he could not have the pleasure of partaking of the hospitalities of my table, but, with my permission, he would wait till the appointed hour,--= which was then at hand. Our con vusati on was resumed ; and presently he asked my little ones to go to him. They obeyed at once, albeit they were rather shy children. This satisfied me that the stranger was a man of a kind and gentle disposition. • He took the children, seated them on his knees, and began to tell them a fairy story (evidently of his own invention, and extemporized,) to which they lie, toned with profound attention. In-. deed, I could, not help being interest ed in the story, so fanciful were the ideas, and so poetical the language in which they were expressed'. The story ended, the strunger re placed the, children on the carpet, and approached:the table .on which stood, iu a ptirdelaiff a.bOuquet of flow ers. These he admire, and began a discourse on horticulture. I listened with intense earnestness, so profound wore all his observations. We were standing at the table for at leasteight or ten minutes, my boys hanging on to the skirt of my dress, and every now and then Compelling me to beg of them to be silent. ""One o'clock came but not the Ma ier. I received, however, ;note from 'him, written in pencil on a slip of pa per. He would he detained at Gov ernment House until half-past two." "Again I requested the, fascinating stranger to partake oftitineheon, Which was now on tie table in the next roonai and again, with the same win ningairdle, he declined. As he was about as I thought, to depart, I extend ed my hand; but, to my astonishment, he stepped back, made a lOW bow, and declined it". - "For a gentleman to.have.his.nan refused when he,' extend eitlo. another is i:iin.barraseing enough : But-,for a lady I Who can possibly describe what were my feelings? Had he been the heir to the British throne, visiting. that penal settlement in disguise, (and from the stranger's manners and con versation he might. have been that il lustrious personae*,)"he could scarce ly have, under personae ,).he circumstances, treated me in such an extraordinary manner. I scarcely knew what to think. Observing, as the stranger must have done, the blood rush to my cheeks, and being Cognizant, evident ly, of what was passing through my mind, he spoke as 'follows "Madam I am afraid. you will nev er forgive me the liberty I have taken already. But theirn.th is, the pail- Ilion suddenly stole over me, and I could not resist the temptation ofsat isfying myself that the skill which made me so conspi4ous in the moth etoountry still *Seined to me in this convict land'_ stared - speitiss" "‘Madam," he continued, "the pen alty of sitting at table with you, or taking the hand you paid me the com pliment to proffer me—yourself in ig norance of the fact I am about to dis close—would-have been the forfeiture of my ticket of leave, a hundred lash es, and employed on the roads in irons. As it is, I dread the Major's wrath; but I cherish a hope that youwill en deavor to appease it, if your advocacy be only a return for the brief amuse ment I afforded your beautiful chil dren." "You are a convict ?" „I said, indig nantly, my hand un the bell-rope. "Madame," he said with an expres sion of countenance which moved me to pity, in spite of :my-,'indignation, "hear me for one moment." "A convicted felon, how dared you enter my drawing room as a visitor ?" I asked him, my anger again getting the better of all my other feelings. "The Major, madam," Said the stranger, "requested me to be at .his home at-the hour when I presented myself; and he bade me wait if he -were' from home when I called. The Mayor wishes to know who was the person who received from me a dia mond necklace which belonged to the Marchioness of Darrington and came into ray possession at a State ball at which had the honor of being pres ent. Now, madam, when the order. ly Who opened the front door inform ed me that' the Major was not at home, but that you were, that indom itable impudence which so often car ried me into the drawing rooms of the aristocracy of our country, took ' . .iiiiasession of me; and warmed as I was with generous wino just suffici ently, to give me courage—l deter mined. to tread once more tipon a, ls, dy's carpet, and enter into conversa tion with her. That much I felt the Major would forgive me; and, there fore I reqested the orderly to an nounce a gentleman. Indeed mad aru,l shall make the forgiveness of the liberties I have taken in this room, the condition of my giving that in formation which shall restore to the Marchioness of Derrington the gem of which I deprived her—a gem which is still unpledged, and in the posses sion of one who will restore it on an application, accompanied by a letter in my hand writing." "Again I kept silence." "Madam ?" he exelairlied, somewhat impassionedly, and rather ImFliy, 'I am no other than than ,Bairington, the illustrious pick pockOt.; ,and this is the hand which in its day hasgent ly plucked from ladies of rank and wealth, jesyels, which 'realized, in all, upwards of thirty five thoMiand poundS, Tt Aiyieetiv_e . of those.,,which were in my possesifoni ,undez lock and key, when fortune turned her back upon mc." "Barrington, the pick pocket I" Having heard so much of this man and of his exploits, (although of course, I had never seen him,) could not held regarding hii# . curiosity ; so much so that I could kicAlcelyuii ang•ry with him any er. "Madam," he continued, have told you that I longed to satisfy my self whether that skill which render ed me so illustrious in Europe still remained to me in this country, after five years of desuetude ? I cannot con scientiously say that I am just as per fect in the art, that the toueh is just as soft, and the nerve as steady as when I sat in'tlie dress circle at Dru ry lane or Cove i nt ! ,, Orden." "I do not cb - mprell'aiidy l ou Mr. Bar 7 ringOri e replied. (I could not help sayingMisteo!! , "But yod will, madare, in one mo ment. Where are your keys ?" I felt in my pocket, in which I fan cied they were, and discovered they were gone. And your thimble and pencil .ease, and you smelling salts ? They are here!" (He drew them from his coat pocket.) My anger was again aroused/ It was indeed, I thought frightful liber ty for a convict to practice upon me, and put his hand into the pocket of my dress. But, before I could request him to leave the room and the house, he spoke again ; and, as soon as I heard Ms voice and looked into his f ace , I was molified, and against-my will, as it were, obliged to listen to • iggh madam," he sighed, "such is the cbange that often comes over the aireirs of Men ! There • was a time when ladies boasted of having been robbed by Barrington. Many of whom I had .never robbed gave it out that I had done so.: simply that they might be talked about. Alas such is the weakness of poor human nature that some people , care not by what means they emaciate their names with tbp name of any celebrity. I wAs.in pow er then, not in bondage.

Her diamonds were paste and she knew it, and I caused them to be' returned to her Had you not a pair of very small pearl-drops in .your ears this • morning; madam." I placed my'liiind.s to my ears and discovered that my drops were gone. Again my anger returned, audl said, "no* dared you, Sir, place your fin gers on my fate ?" 'Upon my.sacred word and honor, madam, he replied, plAcing his hand over his left breast,and bowing, did not think of the The ear' is the most sensitive part of, the human body to the touch of another person.

He placed the ear-rings on ; the table, and made another *very low bow. 'And when did you deprive me of them ? I asked him. 'When I was discoursing on bori culture, you had occasion several times to incline your head towards , your charming children, and gently reprove them for interrupting me.— It was on one of those occasions that 'the deed was quickly done. the dear children were the unconsciou's con federates in my crime—if crhne you still consider it—since I have WA you and I spoke the truth, that it,WKs Lipp for the sake of gain, but sinipty . to Satisfy 'A:passionate curiosity.

Butt nts- groat satisfaction, the illustrious pickpocket did not join in the laugh. He regarded i tpe . voth a look of extreme humility; j maintained a respectful silence, which was shortly broken by a loud knock ing at the outer door. It was the major, who suddenly_ remembering his appointment with Barrington, had contrived to make his escape front Government House, in order to keep" it. The Major seemed rather sur prised to find Barrington in my draw ing room; but he was in such a hur ry, and so anxious, that he said noth ing on the subject. I withdrew to the passage, whence I. could overhear all that took place. 'Now, look here, Barrington,' said City . husband,. impetuously,will I have 1 4 6, ~flonii6iise 'As for a I free paiden, or even a conditional par don, at present, it is out of the ques tion.

'Well, I think you arc right, major,' said the illustrious personage. 'Then will you write that letter at But on one condition.' 'Another condition ?'• 'Yes.'

'Summon your good wife, anti let her bear witness both for and against Inc., My husband opened the drawing room door, and called out 'Bessie !' Soon as I had made my appear ance, Barrington stated 'dig case- 7 —all that traiiiipired—with - minute accura cy; nay, more, he acted the entire scene in such a way that it became;a little comedy .in itself; the characters being himself, myself, and the chil dren, all of which characters he rep retiented with such humor that my husband and myself were several times in fits of laughter. Barring ton, however, did not even smile.- 7 Ile affected to regard the little drama (and this made it the more amusing) as a very serious. business., .ThisjAay over, ray husband again put to Barrington the question : "Will you write that letter at once ?' "Yes," he replied, "I will ; for I see that-I am forgiven the liberty I was tempted to take.' And seating hill= self at the table he wrote: Mr. Barrington presentable eineflivitenti to and requests that sealed packet, marked DN. No. 27. be immediately , delivered to the bearer of this note.

Henry . Moore, _Librarian of the New York Historical Soelety, on the life and character of Major General Charles Lee. The most im portant points of the lecture rested upon documents which have never been given to the publics, and which were received with thrilling interest. We can give but a meagre outline of the lecture. Gen. Lee was born in England, and it is said entered the British army at the age of 11; after serving there for a number of years, be entered the Polish service and was appointed-Aid de camp to the Polish King. He af-. terwards re-entered the English ser, yice, but becoming disgusted with what lie eoneeived to: the want of apprecifitio,u of his,„military - genies, he emigrated to.ApAeACa iu 177 g- It has always been known, i that, General Lee was- rash, arrogant, . conceited, .and too much disposed. to sacrifice great interests to his, own vanity, but Mr. Moore, -frOin. i Ogicia) documents which hay,' come .into *osession, depicts him darker colors. It was Lee's ambition 'to be C,cur,lsader i tu in-Chief of the AmeriCan 'hnd 'although'this position could not be given him, yet so high and generous was the appreciation of his learning and military science, that he was cre ated the second Major General in the service, being ranked only by Wash ington and General Ward. In no respect did Lee come up to; the high expectations formed of him; I he constantly deprediated Washing-1 ton and was . ever attempting by let ters to the New England Governors and to parties in Congress to place ; himself in the position of Washing- i ton ; leis whole: career, was marked by disobedience of orifei.s, until he was taken prisoner ley a -detachnnent of British dragoons under-Col.

His theory was,—Pennsylvania taken, New Eng land would give up; that the division at Annapolis -would induce Maryland to lay down her arms; that the di- Vision at Alexandria would most effect ually_separate' Virginia from Penn-' B . -Olympia that the.
