In the early spring of 1789, the Duke of Graf ion sailed for the South Seas, and in it Warren Hastings, who had been lioine from the East on a visit, returned to India. This celebrated personage was born in England, and of noble blood; but through some reverse of fortune, nev er succeeded to the patrimony and estates of his fathers. His earliest and life-long ambition, through all his checkered and eventful career in India, was to possess himself of the means necessary to redeem thisancestral home. While a lad of only a dozen summers, he used to re cline on the green banks of one of those pure streams that fertilized its gardens and parks, in full view of the old baronial palace, and mature plans by which to realize this great object.? The plan upon which he finally determined, and which he afterward pursued with such signal > success, was, to secure employment ;frotn the Bast-India Company, procetd at once to India, and there press everything into scrvice that promised success. He accordingly embarked for that far country, went to work for tho Coin pany, labored four or five years without any thing special "'turning up" to mark his history, returned ^home on a brief visit, and has now taken possageonce more for the land of hisadop tion. _An uninterrupted voyage of fifteen thousand miles may bo easily conceived to present as mo notonous aphase of life as can possibly be other wise afforded. Cut off entirely from the world, the limited community of a dozen individuals, perhaps, affords the only resources for that va riety which gives life a zest, or renders it in the least degree supportable. With this communi ty, good, bad, or indifferent, one must come in contuct daily, hourly ; circumstances eminently propitious for contracting the most inveterate and lasting dislikes, or, on the other hand, the most interesting connections. Among the passengers of the Duke of G rafton, it appears, was one German portrail-painter, by the name of Imhoff, and wife, which latter is described as an individual in whom was fitly blended outward beauty and accomplishments with nobleness of mind, and interesting and engaging manners. With this individual?the wife?Hastings, very naturally, was not long in forming an ac quaintance, and one which, under circumstances so favorable for social intercourse, soon amount ed to little less than intimacy. Pretty much the first thing, strange ns it tray, appear; of which he became fully satisfied was that, wheth er with good reason rr otherwise, she most heartily despised her husband; and but little later, what more particularly concerned himself, that she was fast actually becoming an object of special favor and regard in his own eves. Start ling discoveries, indeed!?discoveries which rendered his situation one at once of interest and peril, of interest, because his own future happiness, or course in life might be affected by it; or peril, becpusc the only individual whoso companionship cou'd in the least degrco afford any antidote for the ennui and mortal irksome ness of a long and tedious voyage, in spite of. himself, was fast making him her slave; gaining possession, indeed, of all ho had in the world, his heart; an estate with which he was not so ready to part, and least, lor the sake of an old married woman. Cut how was he going to help himself? Circumstances utterly precluded, on the one hand, the possibility of avoiding, much less fleeing the object of his passion, while no , secret ocean cave, provided in the hazardous ex tremity an elopement were determined upon, offered the asylum of a Gretna Green to the enamored pair. Lie seemed by fate irretrievably hemmed in. Flee from temptation he could not. Why then be surprised to leant that he felt most keenly its "crucl power?" And what man, let me ask, can long remain in tho presence of a beautiful, intelligent, fascinating, and, there fore, a woman of potccr, and not feel her influ ence? As likely would he be to resist the influ ence of the sun-light with success, though ex posed to the lull blaze or noon-day. No; as ice-1 must of necessity melt, if" exposed to the influ ence of heat, so against that subtle power which woman holds, that anon sparkles in her eye, mellows in her tones, beams upon her face, "mantling through its beauty" in which, when intensified, is aptly defined by Tnpper as "a volume in a word;" "an ocean in a tear;" "a seventh heaven in a glance;" "a whirlwind in a sigh;" the "lightning in a touch;" a "millennium in a moment;" it were, altogether vain, and worse, to think of making successful resistance. Such, then, was the dilemma in which Hastings found himself. Nor was it ary longer worth while to deny it; an attachment fostered by ev ery little kind ofllce performed, overy giance, every word, by almost every circumstance of overy-day life, was springing up?an inexora ble duty. At this juncture, events which transpired operated to precipitato matters very considera bly; nay, bring them pretty decide-Hy to an is sue. Hastings fell, seriously ill. Now, of all tho places tu be sick, the worst we are told, is on shipboard, where every lurch and leap of the reeling, staggering vessel wrings another pang' from the tortured victim, and where the con stant motion affords never a respite for perfect and natural repose. Thus circumstanced, haun ted with the loneliness of his situation, and rack ed with pain, who, with all oi mother's tender ness and assiduity, administered to all his wants and necessities? Who, while others, slept, through the long wearisome watches of/ the night, walhed over liltuf "Who, with her own band, gave him all his medicines, smoothed his pillow, supported his aching head, coolcd his feverish brow in tho intcHms of his delirium, and counted as days the doubtful moments of his recovery? Whose was this ever present spirit, this ever constant heart, that thus so un expectedly hovers, watches, and waitsahout the sick bed of this friendless boy at sea ? Who would not love it, indeed! Alas the power of kindness! especially when its object is a'poor orphan boy, homeless and friendless, ani^the benefactor a beau tiful woman, whose lboks are so full of love! Ike, Marvel, says, we fan some times afford te'be sick; nay, covet it, for the very : sympathy it brings, especially wtien that sym pathy was felt ana expressed in our behalf by 'the woman we best love. John Howard, the lowly, yet immortal, whose name is endorsed in heaven, while sick at Stoke Newing'ton, was not proof against the unremit ted kindness and devotion of his landlady, Mrs. Loidore; long beforik. fully /restored to health had not only confessed his'sincere attachment of her, but'lhough slie was'twenty-five years his senior, offered her his hand as w$ll' as, his heart, and was accepted, nor was it ever kno^n that he had the "Bfst occasion to repent of tho step |ia had taken. We certainly, then, .shall not vrondep to learn that, long before the "Duke SS39&E&?ft? '?* c&r tastra* his heart was altogether engaged, ahd as h? rii?" If happiness for life at stake, on rcali -in^ at any expense, or whatever sacrifice the Echpmp r his desires, he get about maturing a 4S-3 ?$ t.h?.accon,P1'shment of this object, t on of ?f,culal,"S a tnlnd. and cool considera dono ".1 me?ns' as he ba<i previously The Dl?n h6 I!edcmi>t,on.of hi" Paternal estate^ ttnZl J jl ?

Ilis word was law in the province, and his name soon became a terror to all the tribes abroad ? In short, in an almost incredible brief space of time, from the capacity or posting books for the company, he was become statesman; diploma " r i,S moTcmen's Were a?raclJng the attention of the whole civilized world; and tor a long series of years afTorded a fruilful topic of comment and disquisition by the English th'?

In the meanwhile, with such consummate skill nllft!"apniital.>le energy and perseverance was he pushing HJg-entcrpYises- he was winTiiirg'the admiration even of enemies. So manifestly was all India undergoing, under his-administration, a radical and rapid revolution, and the Enjjlish S^curi"e a firmer, a stronger hold upon the Country than ever bef6fe~that hc was popular with the court; in spite of his obstinacy SjSSSFV r? ^tonishingly were the coffers ? E?st India Company replenished by the r ch harvest of pagodas ho was reaping, that they were bound to sustain him at all hazards. iNow then, query- would not this highly dis tinguished and honored potentate, flushed with iiiflinf.t V,?t0ry and succes-S conscious that, in the future, ho was tho companion of nobles and princes, and be associated with the titled and powerful, look with contempt upon, if not worno KgCt', 'Vs ,ove affair with the Dutch woman on board the Duke of Grafton ?
