This genilhmint•Bmkttpassion for firing off a number ofbrass cannon on the anniversary of such events as he deetned worthy of the honor.— This happened, unfortunately, to be one of Mr. Meredith's gun-powder days and as Sir Thomas and his son were passing, a stream of light flashed directly in the eyes of• the mare, followed by the roar of artillety„at not more than ten paces oft The terrific ahimarbecame instantly unmanageable, got the bit between her teeth, and darted ofi with the wildest apeed. The road is curved and rugged one; and after tearing along for about half a mile, the off wheel of the gigcawni, at, an abrupt turn, - full against a mile stone The tremendous shock hurl ed the two uitforthnate - gentlemen upon the road with frightful violence, tore the vehicle almost corn. pleteTy asunder, and so injured the mare that she died the next day. The alarmed grooms had not only beep unable to render assistance; but even to keep up. with the terrified mare, found Mr. Archi bald Redwood quite dead. The spine had been broken close to the nape of the neck ; his bead, in 'fact, was doubled cp, so to speak, under the body. Sir Thomas still breathed, and was conveyed to I I Redwood Manor House. Surgical assistance was promptly obtained ; but the internal injuries were so great, that the excellent old gentleman expired in a dew hours after he had reached his home. I was haitily sent for ; and when I arrived, Sir Thomas was still fully conscious. He imparted to me m: tters of great moment, to which he Imping ed I would direct. after his decease, •my best care and attenlion. The soy 1 was aware, had but inst. returned lien a tour on the continent, where- he had been absent for nearly twelve months ; but I' was riot aware ; that Mr. Archibald Redwood had not only secretly espoused a Miss Ashton—of a re duced family, bat belonging to our best gentry—but had returned home, not solely for the purpose of so hinting Sir Thomas' forg,ivenes , cf his rash espou sals, but that the probable heir of Redwood might he barn within the wells Of the ancient house. Af ter the first burst of passion and surprise, Sir Thom , as, one of the best-hearted men in the universe, cordially forgave his eon's, disobedience—Oanly, and quite rightly. imputing it to his own foolish ur gency in. pressing a union with one of the Lacy Fuity_ i _w oh which the baronet was very intimate, and whosi - estate adjoined his. ‘• Well, this lady, now a widoar, hail been lett by her husband at. hester; while he came on IC. seek all explanation with his father. Mr. Archibald Redwood was to have set out the next morning in .roe of • Sir Thomas' carriages to bring Immo his wife ; and the baronet, with his dying breath, bade me as'bre her of his entire forgiveness, and his ear nest hope and nos: that through her offspring the race of the Redwoods might be centinned in a di rect line. The family estates ; I should tell you, being strictly entailed on• heirs-male, devolved, it no son of Mr. Archibald Redwood should bar his claims, upon Charles Malvern, the son of a cousiri of the late Thomas Redwood. The baronet had always felt partial toward Malvern, and had assisted him pecuniarily a hundred times. Sir Thomas al. so. difeeted pie to draWkii qtriCkly as I could a short will bequeathing Mr. Charles Malvern twenty thou sand pounds out of his personals. I wrote as cape. ditiously as I could, but by the tints that the papers were ready for his signature, Sir Thomas was no longer cozscious. I placed the pen in his hand, and I fancied he undersmed• the purpose, for his fingers closen faintly upon it ; but the power to guide had utterly gone and only a slight, 'scramb ling stroke marked the paper as the pen slid across it towards the failing arm. Mr. Malvern arrived at the house about an hour after Sir Thomas breathed his last. It was clearly apparent through all his sorrow, panty real, I heye no doubt, as well .as partly assumed, that joy of riches; splendor, station, was dancing at his heart, and Ipite of all his efforts to entidoe or conceal it, sparkling in his eye. I briefly, but as gently -as I acquainted him with the tree position Of af fairs." The revulsion of feeling which etisced, en tirely eritrranned him ; and it - waa not till an boor aherwarda that he recovered his self-pi:emersion suf ficiently to converse reasonably end coon, upon his position. At last he bacame apparently reconciles to the sudden over clouding of his imaginaniety bril kant pnxspects, and it was agreed as he wasa rela tive of the widow, he should break the sad news to her. Well, a few days eller hisdeparture, I receie ed a letter from him, stating that Lady Redwbod— I don't thitiVby the way f ithat, as her husband died before succeeding to - ihe baronetcy; she is entitled to that appellation.of honer; we however, calf her so get of cciarterry—that Lady Redwood; though pre. maiurely Confined in consequence of the intelli gence of her husband's untimely death, had given birth to a female child, and that both mother and daughter . ..were as well as might be expetted ' This, yea will agree, seemed perfectly 4satisfamo• y r " Entirely so." - "So I ihou.:ht.

"Sir Charles returned to the Redwood Manor house, where his wife and family soon afterwards arrived. Lady Bellwood had been jOined, 1 ander: stood by his mother.

" Light hair, blue eyes, dimpled chin," and so off. The fairy—a very charthing per son, I assure you, and meek and gentle as a fawn —is chiefly iiinxions to recover her child. Yon and should onr suspicious be confirmed, have other duties to perform." 4. This was pretty near all that passed, and the next day I was in Birmiu;2ham. The search, as I was compelled to be captions in my enquiries, was tedious, but finally success ful. Mr. and Mrs. Williams I discovered living in a pretty house with neat grounds attached, about two miles from Birmingham, on the coaeh road to Wolverhampton. Their assumed' name watt Bar ridge, as I ascertained from a servant girl, who fetched their dinner and copper beer, and occasion • ally wine and spirits, from a neighboring tavern, that they had one child, a few months old, of whom neither father nor Mother seemed vety fond By dint of much perseverance, I at length got upon pretty familiar terms with Mr. Buiridge alias Wil liams. He spent his evenings reeel arty in a tavern, but with all the pains-taking, indefatigable ingenui ty I employed, the chief knowledge I acquired, du ring three weeks of assiduous endeavor,. was that my friend Berridge intended, immediately after a visit which he expected shortly to receive from a, rich and influential relative in London, to emigrate to America, at all events to abroad. This was, however, preclons information, and very rarely, in deed,.was he, after I had obtained it, oat of my sigh: or observation. At length perseverance ob. tained its reward. One morning I discovered my friend much more sprncely attired than ordinarily, make way to the railway station, and there question with eager looks every passenger that alighted from the first class carriages. At last a gentleman whom I instantly recognized, in spite of his shawl and other wrappings, arrived by the express train from London.limns instantly accosted him, a cab was called, and away they drove. f followed in another, and saw them both alight at a hotef in New street. I also lighted, and was mentally de bating how to proceed, when Williams came dui of the tavern, and proceeded in the direction of his home. I fokoweo, overtook him, am soon contriv ed to ascertain that he and his wife had important baseness to transact in Birmingham the next morn itg, which would render it impossible he should meet me as I proposed, till iwo or threg o'clock in the &reunion, at the eariiesl, and the next morning my esteeined friend informed me, they would leave the place, probably foreven An hoar after this interesting conversation 1, ac- companied by me chief of the Birmingham police was closeted wi.b the landlord of the hotel in New street, a highly respectable person who promised us every assistance in his power. Sir Charles Mal vern had, we found, engaged, a private room for the transaction of important busintts with some persons he expected in the morning, and our plans were soon fully matured and agreed upon. I slept little that night and immediately after breakfast, hastened, wkh my Birmingham col league, to the hotel. The apartment assigned for Sir Charles Blalvem's use had been , a bedroom, and a large wardrobe, with a high wing at each end ; gill remained in it. We tried if it would bold us r and with very ifftlet stooping and squerzinz, found it would do S'ery well. The Landlord soon gave as the signal to he on the alert, and , in we jammed ourselves, locking the win; doors on the inside. A minute or tiro af. (erarards, Sir Charles, and Mr. and Mrs. Williams, entered, and pacer, pens and ink having been brought, business commenced in right earnest.— Their conversation it is Leedless to derail. it will suffice to observe, that it was manifest Sir Charles by a heavy bribe, had induced the ac ouches and his wile to conceal the birth of the male child, which as I suspected, was that which Williams and his spouse were bringing up as their own. 1 must do the fictitious baronet the justice to say that he had from the first the utmost anxiety that no harm should beEd the infant. Mr. Malvern's nervous dread lest his `confeile 'rates should be questioned, - had induced their hur rieddeparture from Cheerer, and it now appeared that he bad' become aware of the auspicious enter- tained by bk. Rapti*, and couhl- not rest till the Williams and the child irsze out of the country EMI It * was now insisted, by the woman mere especial. ly, that the agreement for the taiga annual pay. ment to be made by Sir Chivies, should be fairly written out andeigned in plain." black and white," to use M-s. William's expression, in order that no future misunderstandings might vise. This Mr. 'Malvern strongly objected to; but finding the wo man would accept of no other terms, he sullenly complied and at the same time reiterated, that it any harm should befal the boy, to whom be inten ded, he said, to leave a• handsOme fortune—he would cease, regardless of the consequences, to pay the Williamses a shilling. A silence of several minutes followeit, broke on ly by the scnichini t of the pen on paper. The time to me seemed an age, squeezed, crooks!, sti fled as I was in that narrow box, and so I after. wards learned it did to my fellow sufferer. At length, Ur: Iktalvern said, in the same cautions whisper, in which they had all hitherto prken.- 1‘ This will do, I 'think," and read whet he had written Mr. and Mn. Williams signified their approval; and as now matters were lolly ripe, I gently turned the key, and very softly pushed open the door. The back -of the amiable trio were towards me, and as my boots were off, :and the apartment was thickly carpeted, I approached un perceived, and to the inexpressible horror and as tonishment of the parties concerned, whose heads were bent eagerly over the impatient document, a hand, which belonged to neither of them, was thrust silently but swiftly forward, and grasped the precious instrument. A fierce exclamation from Mr. Malvern, as h - started from his seat, and a c,pnvulsive scream from Mrs. Williams, as :she fell back in her chair, fel lowed ; arid to add to the animation'or the tableau, my friend at the opposite wing emerged at the same moment from his hiding place. Mr. Malvern comprehended at a glance the sit. uation of affairs, and made a futons dash at the paper. I was quicker as well as stronger than he, and he failed in his object. gesivtance was put of the question; and in less than two hours we were speeding on the railroad toward London, accompa nied by the child, whom we entrusted to Williams' servant maid. Mr. Repton was still in town, and Mrs. Aston, Lady Redwood and her unmarried sister, in their impatience of intelligence, had arrived several days before I had the pltasure of accompanying Mr. Repton with the child and his temporary nurse, to Obbome Hotel in the aidelrht; and I reall3 at first feared for excited mother's reason, or that she would do the infant a mischief, so tumultuous, so frenzied, was her rapturous joy at the recovery of the lost treasnre. When placed in the cot beside: the female Infant, the fesetnblance of the one to the other was almost perfect. 1 never saw before nor since so perfect a titaness. This wa: enough for the mother ; but, fortunately, wo had touch more satisfactory evidence, legally viewed, to establish the idenitfy of the,child in court of law, should the necessity arise for doing so. Here as far as I am 'concerned, all positive knowledge of this curious piece of family history, ends. Of subsequent transactions b-:.tr:.:en the par ties I have„no personal cosinner). f ortly.know here was :a failure el justice, and I can pretty well guess from what maims. The parties I ar rested in Birmingham were kept in strict custody for several days; but no inducement, no threats could induce the institutors of the inquiry to appear against the detected criminals. Mr. and Mrs; Ashton, Lady Redwood and `her children, left town th• nest day big one for Red wood Manor; and Mr. Repton coldly told the an gry superintendent that "he had no brstmetions - to prosecute." He, too, was speedily off, and the prisoners were, necessarily discharged oat of cos. tody. saw about three weeks afterwards in a morning paper. that Mr. Malvern, "whom the bilh of a posthumous child in a clirectline had necessarily been deprived of ail chance jot succerton to the Redwood estates, and the baronetcy, which ttie nee-simper' had so absurdly conferred on him, was with Iris amiable lady and family, about to leave England fOr Italy. where they intended to remain for some time. The expressed, bat uncompleted will of the deceased' barons Sir Thomas Red wood, had been, it was farther stated ; carried'` . into efleey and the legacy intended for Mr. Malvern paid over to him. The Williams - es never, to my knowledge, attained to the dignity of a notice ii the newspapers; bet 1 believe they pursued their original intention of passing over to America. Thus not only " offence's gilded hand," but some of the best feeleva of oor nature, not unfreqoently "shove by justice," and places concealing gloss over deeds which, cualer other circumstances, would base infallibly consigned the perpetrators to prison, or perhaps the hulks. Wher.her, however, any enactment could effectually grapple with an abase which iprings from motives natural and and. able, is a question which I mast leave to wiser heads than mine to discuss and determine. Cummings, in hisaccoant of a five years' hunt in South Afric,a, gives in interesting account of his killing a large inall elephant on the borders of the great Kalahari desert, and the manner in which the natives treated the carcase. Elephants are here found in herds of from six to twelve, and ere easily tracked from their watering places to the for ens. On the occasion alluded to, Cummings se lected an emirates boll elephant from a herdofsix or seven and by dogs and men succeeded in sep arating him from thri drove. He- then lode up to him anti around'him firing aeon the animal with a large Title that earned a ball we4tted three ounces. Every tune the elephant washit, he raised his trunk made a tremendous toying noise. s_cha sat upon the hunter. But a fleet horse and goal rider kept out of his way: 'After about a dozen bullets bad beenfiltgor,d. into him, the old elephant gave op his breath anirsonendeted. It was the happi. eat day of my We, says Cummins, as I climbed Wag and tatting op as ElepluaL up his broad side which was op to my chinas the elephant ray flat upon the ' ground.. . ft was the first large old bull elephant he had killed, and he had traveled a tedious journey of menthr , to din this very thing. lie was then in the vicinity of the camp of Sieormy, a native chief, with whom Cum mings traded off a musket; that cost him S 4 in England for ivory worth 3150. Cummings gives the following account of an elephant dressing bar. bacue, : As the sun rose on the 2.4 th, (the morning after the animal was killed,) Mutchusitio, the brother of Sicomy, gave the word to cut ffie elephant, when a scene of blood, nvise,wnil turmoil ensued which baffles all the description. Every native there,divested of his karma, and armed with a assagia/ rushed to the onslintght ; and in less than tem hours every inch of the elephant was! gone, and cinied . by the different parties to their respect. ire hordes which they have chosen beneath each convenient tree that crew around. The manner in which the elephant is cut up is as follows:—The rough outer skin is first removed in large sheets from the side which lies uppermost Several coats of an ender skin is them met with. This skin is.of a tough and pliant nature, and is used by the natives for making water bats, in which. they convey water from the nearest fountain or vley (which is often miles distant) to the ele phant. ,They remove this inner skin with caution taking care not to cut it with the usagai,. and it is formed into water bags by gathering the :orners and edges, and hanriming the whole on a pointed wand: The flesh is then removed in enormous Cteets from the ribs, when the hatchets crape into play, with whic they chop throagh, and re st.ove indivi3ually e h collossal rib. The bowels are thus laid bare : d itir the removal of those the leading men la e a lively interest and an ktive pan, for it is thro ..hout and around the bowels that the fat of the els 'bent is mainly found. There are afe - things which a Bechuana prizes us high as fat of ny descripkin ; they will go an amazing distance for e'smaff'portion of it. They nee it principally a cooking their sun dried bill tongue and they Ise eat it with their corn, The tat of the elephant lies in extensive layers and sheets in,-his insideland the quantity which is ob tained from a full-gown bull, in high ccilidition, is very great. Beforeit tan be obtained the greater part of the bowels must be removed., To accom plish this, several Men event u ally enter the im mense cavity of hislinsitle, when they continue mining away with their assegai/Da:7d banding the tat to their comrades outside until all is bare. While this is transpiring with the sides and bowels other parties are eqiially Ratite in sernoiint the skin and flesh fromitha remaining parts of the ifhcar case. The natives aye a horrid practice on these occasions of beg erring their bodies from the crown of their head tolhe sole of their feet, with the black and tinned gore ; and in this anointing they assist one another, each man taking up the filth in both his hands and spreading it over the back and shoulders of his friend. Throughout the entire proceeding an incessant and deafeninr,clam or of many voices and confused pounds is main tained, and violent jostlings and wrestlings are practised by every rnm, elbowing the breast and 1 countenances of his] fellows, all slippery with gore as he endeavors to (force his way to the venison through the dense inkervening' ranks while the sharp and ready assagia gleams in every hand. The angry voices and : g ry appearance of these naked savages combined with their excited and frantic gestures and glistening arms, presented an effect so wild and striking that when I first beheld the scene I contemplated it wit the momentary expec tation of beholding one-half of the gathering turn their weapons against the other. The trunks and lee' are considered a delicacy, and a detachment are employed • on, these. The miff feet are amputated at the fetlock and the fet, lock and the trunk, which at the base is about twp feet in thickness, is cut into convenient lengths. Trunk and feet are then baked, preparatory to their removal to head quarters. The manner in which this is done is as follows : A party provided with sharp-pointed sticks, dig a hole in the-ground for each foot and a portion ofthe trunk The holes are two leet deep, and a yard in-width: tie *lca vale eanb is embanked around the margin of the hole. This work being completed they next cal lect an immense quantity of dry branches and trunks of treesi of which there is always a profu , elan scattered re:and, having been broken b . ) the el- ephants in former years. This they pile above the holes to the height of eight or nine feet, and then set 618 to the heap. l When these strong fires hive burned down, and the whole wood is reduced to ashes, the holes and surrounding earth are.heatecl to a great degree. Ten or tn-elve men then stand round the pit, and rake out the ashes with a pose about sixteen feet in length, haring a hook at the end. They relieve one another in quick exemsion each mail running in and - taking the athes for Slew seconds, and then pitching the pole to his comrade and retreating,' since the heat is so intense that it is scattily to be endured. When ail the ashes are • raked out beyond= the surrounding bank of eanh, each elephant's foot and a portion of Cm trunk is Idled by two athletic men, standing side by side : who place it on their shoal tiers, and approaching the pit wgether, they heave t itgo it. The loag pole ts now again resumed, and with it they shove in the heated bank of earth upon the foot, shoring and raking until it is com pletely buried in' the earth. The hot embers, of which there is always a great supply, are then raked into a heap above the foot, and another bon fire is kindled over each, a Bich is allowed :o bum down and die a natural death, by which time the enormous foot or trunk will be found to be equally bated throughout to its inmost parts. When the foot is supposed to be ready, it is taken :out, of -tt.e ground with pointed sticks, and is first well beaten and is then scraped with an assapi, whereby the adhering particles of sand are got rid or. The oat. side is then pared off; and his transfixed with a allari stake for facility 01 carriage. riiMMEI 'rho feet thin! ebokkif; are excellent, as is, also the trunk; which very much resembles buffakes tongue. The reason why each large fires are ne• cessary, is owing to the mass of flesh that must WI bake& In raking the wand on !tie foot, the oatisso are careful not to rake the red hot embers in with it, which would burn and derctrisy.tlittmeat, abaci.
