year ago, I visited this spot for the St3(.‘(>l'ltl time.

in tltemrecollectit-iii of mixed s'trrow and joy that
miitiltilated ten vents, and placed me again lie-

tioi titiiicipaie.
In the year 1821, in the month of June. I
sailed from Englatitl with the Levant pacl-:tat,\vitli
the intention ol spending a few weeks itt Codi’/.
an.) (}1|-,rahar, and oftlieii pruceetliitg to Corfti.
I think it was the 15th of.Iuiie. when I sit-pperl
upon the mole of Gibraltar, and the same eve-
ning] presented myletiersiosir G D ‘
then Governor; aiitl to Colonel \Val'll),t__’, of tlic
Roval Engineers, to whose faiiill_v, indeed, I
was i(.IIo‘lElltIlV related. Sir G ‘ _D iiivit-
.et.l me to a biill, to be given at the G()\’CT!ItIIt‘Ill
House the following evening; and Colonel \Var-‘-
ing—as fine an old titan as ever served the king
flshakiiig ttie liear'ily by the hand, and dis
covering a family likeness, told tiie I had arrived
at a most f()l‘llttlI£IlC time. for his tltttinltter Emily
would be next week united to Captain L , of
the Royal Navy.
‘ He's a noble fellow,’ said the Colonel, ‘else
he should not have tny girl; ditte with us to-
morrow, and you’ll meet, him. aotl stay and sup
with us; yoti must see Emily; antl take care
you don’! fall iti love with her.’ Theltijunctinii
was necessary : for never rlo female cliartiis ap-
pear so seductive, as when we know tltat they
all belting to another; and Emily VVatltig was
the only truly lovely girl I ever beheld.
I will not attempt any description of her
countenance; the most captivating is the most
indescribable: and of lterfinure I will only say,
that to an almost infatitine brightness, were
added those gracious contours that belong to
maturer years. Captain L I found all that
the Colonel had depicted lilin.
Tile next eveuirig I went to the ball at the Go-
vernment Ilouse. and While Emily Vlfaritig was
dancing with her betrothed. I chanced to ob-
serve the eyes of a gentleman intently fixed
upon the pair; be was evidently deeply interest-
ed; and in the expression if a very hand-
some coutitenatice, it was not ditlicult todis-
cover that the most deadly jealousy was min-
gled with the most intense admiration. ‘ \_Vbo
is that gentletriatt?’ said I, to a frienrl, whom
I accidentally discovered among the officers of
the garrison. ‘ His name,’ said he, in a
whisper, ‘is Donovan : you have ofciurse ob-
9
st=.t'vetl that his eyes cotistantly pursue the
Colonefs tlaugltter and her partner; there art.-
some curious lacts, and rather niiplcasaiit sits-
picions. connected with the history ttf that Durin-
van. I iieetl scarcely tell you what are his feel-
ings tovvards Miss \V1-lrltlgialttl Captain L ;
that he loves the one and hates the other; and
yet, yoti wil_l be SlJl'pt‘l.'3t3tl to be told, that Dono-
van and C.-tptain L———- are apparently the best
friends iii the world.

that after dititier, he and Captain L walked

the old Colonel stood beside her; one hand en-
t:lt)-‘ed in his tltitt_;1liIt=r's, and with the other he
lirttslietl away the tear that now and lllt‘tl started
to his ()WlI eye. At this tiioiiictit, the Govc’tiot',
Sir G D-——-. was titirioiint.-ed; and the

‘The uriziccottrittible tlisappcarance of Cap-

me some hours ago; aritl I have used every-
means to pctietrate the mystery, but witlitttit suc-

By a SIt‘._QlIlEll‘. and, for M r. Donovati, unfor-

at Giltraltar the day following: atitl for sotrie
fartlicr c'.'itletices WllI('.l) had been tendered, it
was tliougltt tieccssary to seutl Mr. Donovan to
trial. There was no direct evidence; but
there were strong presumptions agtiitist liitii.
Ills hatred of Ctiptalti L was proved by
titany witnesses; the cause ofit, his preference
of Miss \Varitig_z, was proved by her father; the
tcirt-tinistatices attending the two duels were iti-
tptlred into. and the result oftlieiutptiry ttiilitztt
t:'I more strongly against the cliaritcterof Mr.
Donovan than liatl ever been cxpectetl. It was
p'OVPtl, moreover. that when Mr. Doiiovati left
his liotisc in cotnpatiy with Captain L , he
carried a cottct-talcd stiletto; and it was [)l’()\'(-'tl

It was of course irregular. ttpon the trial of
Mr. Donovan, to refer to his former trial, butthis
had. no doubt, its weiglit. atid he was-atljtitlr_vetl
guilty of mitrder, and sentenced to die. The
sentence was pronouticed oti Friday, and on
Montlav it was to be carried into execution.
\Vlien the niorning of the day arrived, Mr.
Donovan desired to tiiako a confession; antl his
confessioti was to this t-.l'l'cct; that althougli iti-
