LADY IIUL'tlwE'S Cut.:vY:FYT.-Our final

to her, in thle spirit of the Italian, "I1 also

MIiss Wheeler, (alias J tlia Neville,alias

io ttraet the atettin of Edward Bunlwer
then fresh from college. The at tachmtent
was a romantie one, and soon discov'ered,
atnd strennously opposed by Mr. Btulwer's
mother. We have itany times listened to
the story of their meeting "to drink tea"
with a synmpathi'.ng laidy, wl'o occupied a
"three pai of stairs back," in Fleet-street,
and who 'ihimaitely succeededl in miarryinig
