WEDNESDAY, JUNE 13, 1860,
Oweu Meredith's New Poem.#
npyw* Browning,lias revived, not, invented, as
ijoßw critics have affirmed, the novel fat verso.
Bfr Walter Scott’s, leading poemsj greaitly
yOpuUr onee and almost forgotten-
IStiged: to: (his class. So, though the exam
ples wore less diffuse, did Byron’s romantic
stories, “The Corssir,” “ Lsra,” and others.
, Browning’s “ Aurora Leigh,” which
.would be greatly improved by being cut down
at least one third, is the longest novel in verse
in' onr language. Next to it, In quantity,
comes «Lucile,” by Owen Meredith. . -
*’ Moat of our readers wbo have literary tastes
ipjqw who,Owen Meredith is. The writer wbo
•ssmies this name—probably becattfohe traces
hit ’deBeenrfrBin'Oto r
King of, Narthlfales, over a thousand years
sgp, and, a fqw centuries lator, from onp of
tpe .daughters of Miuloo ap Mtrtdsth, Prince
of Fowls—is Edward Robert Bulwer-Lytton,
bottron November’B,lBBl, only son and heir
of Sir Edward Bulwer-Lytton, the great no
velist, and nephew of Sir Henry Boiwer, for
merly British Minister at Washington.
, The previous productions of this writer, who
is not long before the world, were republished
hew,.as tho.prcsont poem is, as one of Tick,
nor fc Fields’ charming “ bine and gold” se
ries, and have excited no small degree of ad
miration on this side of the Atiantio.
Ta^&akd
jutTMUia
rfft&ghtkft
Mpl
«Lucile,” as we have said, is a nove] in
verse:—rhymed, whereas “Aurora Leigh”
was in blank, sometimes vary blank verse.
TbCdedlcation, to the author’s father, is in
(dimple and expressive prose. There is ten
derness, as well as pride, in this Dedication,
in which the poet fondly; dwells upon the gen
tle oriticism exercised by his father upon his
childish manuscripts, which, he says, « X have
created ah Identity of feeling among them,
and lead mo once more to seek assurance from
tho grasp of that hand which has hitherto been
my guide and comfort through the life I owe
to you.” He thus concludes, “As in child
hood, when existence had no toil beyond tie
.day’s simple lesson, no ambition beyond the
neighboring approval of the night, I brought
to you the morning’s task for the evening’s
sanction, so now-I bring to you this self-ap
pointed task-work of maturer years; less con
fident indoed of your approval, but not less
confident of your love; and anxious only to
realizS your presence between myself and the
public, and to mingle with those soveror
to whose final sentence I submit my
mork, the beloved, and-gracious accents of
pwn.” ’
- . The heroine of this poem, Lucile, a woman
of great physical and intellectual beauty,
who liw been
The belle of all places in which she was seen,
- TUo belle or all Pari* lant winter; last wring
The belle of all Baden f
and is described .
'An pale as an evening in autumn—with hair
Neither bleek.aor yet brown* but that tinge Whioh the
,
Tft]£*e ftt ere in September, when night Hager# Jon#
iThrongh a vineyard, from beameof aglow-setting tun—
bail' heart and hope footed between two
lovers, one French, /the other English.”
JShe herself is a French countess, with a, strong
dash oi passionate East Indian blood in her
veins. She weds neither of her lovers, one of
whom ■ marries somebody else, in pique: the
jiiherflTing on, to middle age, acynic athirst
for yengCaßoe..,. )Preqtiectly..{he rivals’ meet.
Lucile, constantly iutor- j
feres to proteCt 'them" from
■■•MtUshman lases his fortune, thrmity,
. of his b&nker.a saiw”"—
rogue. 1 Thof his amour
propre in family pride, and, - os is the fashion
of his nation, in successful military adventure.
The Englishman’s son- and the Frenchman’s
daughter fall in lovo, hift are s pirated, and
forbidden even to think'of each other. The
young man goes, in the Britisli army, to the
Crimea, is'desperately wounded, is tended by
a Sister of Charity, (Sister Seraphlne, the Lu
cile of the story,) and,ihrongh her means, the
old rivalry la flung away, the rivals’ children
are united, and Lucile, the ministering angel,
retires (Tom the scene, still to perform, with
even more than woman’s zeal, the highest ol
woman’s humanitarian duties. The” closing
canto of this poom will bring tears of sympathy
and sorrow into many bright eyes, in many
lands. Lucile’s scene with the Due do Envois,
in which she induces him to consent to the
marriage, is as touching as poet or novelist

Although wo do not like the metre of this
Poem—which constrnntly reminds us of the
tripping measure of Hiss Biddy Fudge’s opis
tles in « The Fudge Family in Paris”—tho
passionate power and great skill of the poet
make us soon forgot that error—ior such it is.
Here is a description oi a tempest, not un
worthy of comparison with Byron’s hurricane
among the Alps in “ Childe Harold
Ere loos,
Thiok darkness deßoonded the mountain* among 5
And a vivid* vindiotive, and serpentine flash
Gored the darkness* and ehoro it aoroas with a gash.
The rain fell in large heavy drops. And anon
Broke the thunder.
******
And the storm is abroad in the mountains !
He fills
The orouoh'd hallows and all the oracular hills
With dread voice* of power. A roused million or more
Of wild eohoea reluctantly rise from their hoar
immemorial ambush* and roll in the wake
Of the oload. whose reflection leaves livid the lake.
And the wind* that wild roboer, for plunder descends
From invisible lands, o'er those black mountain ends;
He howls a* he hounds down his prey; and his luh
Tears the hair of the timorous wild mountain ask*
That olings to the rooks, with her garments all torn.
Like a woman in fear; then he blows his hoarse horn.
And is off. the fieroe guide of destruction and terror/
Up the desolate heights, 'mid an intricate error
Of mountain and mist.
There is war in the skies.
Lo 1 the blaok-winged legions of tempest arise
O'er those sharp, splinter'd rooks that are gleaming
below
In the soft light* so fair and so fatal, as though
Bbme seraph burn'd through them* the thunderbolt
searching
Which tho blaok cloud unbosom'd just now. Lo! the
lurching
And shivering pine-trees* like phantoms* that seem
To waver above, in the dark; and yon stream*
How it hurries and roars* on its way t* the white
And paralysed lake there, appall'd at the eight
Of the thinge seen in heaven!
And here, by way of contrast, is a bit re
minding us of Byron's flippancy in “ Don
Juan,” especially when he speaks of tho din
ner-bell as tbo tocsin of tbo soul;
Oh* hour of all hours, the most bless'd upon earth*
Blessed hour of our dinners]
The land of his birth;
The faoe of bis first love * the bills that he owes;
The twaddle of his friends* and the venom of his foess
The sermon be heard when to ohuroh he last went;
The money he borrow'd, the money he spent—
All of these things a man, I believe, may forget,
And not be the worse for forgetting; bnt yet
Never* never, oh* never! earth's luckiest sinner
Hath unpunlsh'd forgotten thg hour of his dinner!
Indigestion* that 00* science of every had stomach,
Bball relentlessly gnaw and pursue him withsome aohe
Or some pain ; and trouble* remorseless* his best ease,
As the Furies once troubled the sleep of Orestes.
We may live without poetry, musio, and art;
We may live without conscience,and live without heart;
We may live without friends; we may live without
books; . ,
But oivilised man cannot live without cooks.
He may live without books,—what is knowledge but
grieving?
He may live without hope,—what is hope but deoeiving ?
He may live without lovewhat is pass.on but pining f
But where is the man who oan live without dining ?
We would add a beautlfbl lyric, worthy of
being married to immortal music,—by this
time, no doubt, Balfe or W a H ft co have per
formed tho ceremony:
How many thoughts I give thee!
Come hither on the grass*
And if thou'lt eount unfailing
The green blades as we pass:
Or the leaves that sigh and tremble
To the sweet wind of the west,
Or the ripples of the river.
Or the sunbeams on its breast,
I'll count the thoughts I give thee.
My beantifu), my best.
How many joys I owe thee!
Come sit where seas run high.
And eount the heaving billows
That break on the shore and die—
Or the grams of sandtbey fondle,
When the storms are overblown,
Or the pearls in the deep-sea caverns,
Or the stays in zone.
And I’ll count the" jsysjl owe thee,
My beautiful; myowd. ':

That the night had divided his whole life in two.

So he lay there, like Luoifer, fre»h from the sight

O’er the howling abysses of nothingness! There

That walk'd the dim world by Himself at that hoar.

Of the muoh he had learn’d—or forgotten it quite,
With its onoe native accents. Alas! what had he
To add to that deep-toned sublime symphony
Of thanksgiving ?. .A fiery finger was still
Scorohing into his heart some dread ssntenoe. His will,
Liko a wind that is put to no purroso, was wild
At its work of destruction within him. The ohild
Of an infidel age, he had boen bis own god,
His own devil.
He sat on the damp mountain sod,
And stared sullenly up at the dark sky.
The olouds
Had heap’d themselves over the bare west in crowds
Of misshapen, incongruous portents. A green
Streak of dreary, cold lucrinout ether, between
The base of their black barricades, and the ridge
Of the grim world gleam’d ghastly, as under some
bridge,
Cyclop sized, in a city of ruins o’erthrown
By sieges forgotten, some river, unknown
And unnamed, widens on into desolate lands.
Whilo he gaged that oloud-oity invisible hands
Dismantled and rent > and reveal'd through a loop
In the breach’d dark, the blemish’d and half-broken
hoop
Of the moon, which soon silently sank; and aeon
The who’e supernatural pageant was gone,
The wide night, discomforted, conscious of loss,
Darken’d round him. One objeot alone—that grey
oross—
Glimmer’d faint on the dark. Gazing up, he descried
Through the void air, its desolate arms outstretch’d
wide,
As though to embrace him.
He turned from the sight,
Set hie face to the darkness, and fled.
A few linos more, and we have done. Here,
in reply to the remark that << Those who
have gifts owe something to the State, 1 ” an
art-dreamer proudly answers, in the fine spirit
of Michel Angelo’s saying that Art was a jeal
ous mistress
Ay, ay 1 yet oannot all men serve the Bute
.In the same Cashtau? He who writes a book
Brimful of noble thoughts, doth be sot serve ?
And be who rings a song which elevates
The poor man’s heart; amt makes It throb with Joy,
Kalb he done nothing ? He who cartes a stone
Into immortal beauty, is not he
.Assreat and ifoble as the man who talks
On Opposition
About his budget or his inoome tax, <
And his five farthings on the prun'd rtf 'tea?
’Ti« well, no doubt, to be a senator, ’-
To make the laws of Knglend, and direot
Great policy to rightful aims aad ends.
Or thwart great polioy when it is wrong;
But the*e things are not all. A nation’s weal
Cannot be made by Aotsof Parliament;
And some roust write, some sing, some dance, some
paint,
Some teach, soma preach, or else the manners fade,
And aII the pith of nations shrivels up,
And sapless realms go down to their decay.
My oalling’s Art; and ’twill suffice my soul.
We part with « Lucile,” feeling that he who
wrote it is a mau of genius. A better metri
cal workman cannot he found. He has not
only much book learning, considerable know
ledge of the world, a keen appreciation of the
Beautiful in nature and art, a bright creative
intellect, and a delicate yet passionate nature,
but surprising command over the apparently
insuperable difficulties of a metre which few
could adapt, like him, for the highest class of
emotional feeling and character. Master of
his art indeed, Owen Meredith has wholly con
quered the despotism of rhyme.
Sindmg’s History of Scandinavia,
Pudney & Russell, of New York, have published
a third edition of “The History of Scandinavia,
from the earliest times of the Northmen and Vi
kings to the Present Day.” This book wm writ
ten by the Rev. Paul 0. Binding, of Copenhagen,
Professor of Scandinavian Language and Litera
ture in the University of the City of New York.
We gather, from the preface, that Mr. Binding was
only two years in this country when he wrote this
volume, in which he shows great acquaintance with
our language. Indeed, no one oould judge, from his
writing, that English was not his native tongue.
His book amply fulfils the promise of its title-page.
It brings Scandinavian history from the earliest
records and traditions, long before the commence
ment of the Christian era, down to the present
reign of Ferdinand VII, of Denmark, and telle us
more about the bold Northmen oi old than we ever
knew before. One part, which is only too brief,
will be of eapeoial Interest In this country, for It
relates how, as early as the middle of the tenth
century, this continent of Amerioa was discovered
by Bjarne Herjnlfsen, on bis voyage from Iceland |
to Greenland, whioh the Northmen had visited three
years before. At a subsequent period Newfoundland,
Nova Scotia, and New England were visited by
th'e Northmen, who subsequently went to the coun
tries now known as North and South Carolina,
Georgia and Florida. The first visit of the
Northmen hither was 500 years before Columbns
re-discovered this continent. Professor 0. Rahn, of
Copenhagen, has published an elaborate work on
this subject. In The History of Bcandinavia, pub
lished over twenty years since in the Edinburgh
Cabinet Library , considerable use was made of
the materials «whioh the research and ability of
Mr. Rahn had discovered and digested: Mr. Sin*
ding’s book is a welcome addition to our literature.
He might haveoonslderably Improved it, with little
trouble to himself, by appending a good analytical
indox- History and biography especially require an
Index, to facilitate ready reference. In afuture^di-
tfoDj Mr. Binding should supply this necessary ad
junot. Whoever desires for a more detailed work
on the same subject may read the “ Histolre des
Etats Bcandln&ves, par A. Geoffrey,” reoentlypub
lishedby Haohetto, of Foils.
Snnbury and Erie Railroad*
We are informed that theSunbury and Erie
Railroad Company Trill run their own road from
Sanbury to Wbetam, a distance of eighty-three
miles, on and after the first day of July next. The
intention of the company Is not to furnish the roll
ing atook, but merely to supply the motive power
wherewith to haul the oars of the Northern Cen
tral Railroad Company. *At Look Haven, commo
dious machine shops and-depots have been erected.
A sufficient number of Iflbomotives are now building
to aooommodate the traffic. That portion of the
6unbury and Erie Railroad between Lock Haven
and Sunbuiy is in excellent order. The western
division, under the fuperJntendcnoy of Samuel A.
Black, Esq., has been inefficient operation sinoo
the first of the year, and is delng & heavy freight
business from the oil region of Pennsylvania. On
the first of July next, the Snnbury and Erie Com
pany will have one hundred and forty-nine miles
of their own road in use. and with upwards of ten
miles additional almost in working order.
A good d«al of rivalry seems to exist between the
1 Pennsylvania and Baltimore and Ohie Railroads in
their efforts to secure the stock-carrying trade of
southern Obi#. The Cincinnati Commercial, after
alluding to the improved accommodations ot the
former roAd, says: “ The Central route is making
groat efforts to seeure Us sharo of the business.
The Fort Wayne road contracts at Chioago at very
low figures, and all along the route efforts are
making to establish good stations. The Pennsyl
vania road has bought or leased one hundred and
sixty-five acres near Harrisburg for feeding lots.
The shortness of the route and the excellence of
the accommodations are securing to the Pennsyl
vania road a large share of the cattle transporta
tion.. Nearly 5,000 head passed over the road last
week, of which nearly half t°°k the Lebanon Val

' Ke .would remark, la tbs' fint place, tbit tbs
missionary work contemplated by tbs Church Was
essentially of such a nature as to require the power
of God to effect Its consummation. Tbs objeot of
the Bilsslonary irasnpt to coerce or compel men to
abandon error and receive the troth, bat to per
suade and lead men by benevolent means. Its
object wu to carry the Gospel to every oreatnre, and
to lift the curse from off the world, and this man,
unaided by the Spirit of God, conld never aecom
pllih. In these respeots Christianity differed from
all other Systems of religion: it wu diemotrleally
opposed to all tbs earnal tastes of men, and in its
very nature refrained from employ lag force in se
curing its ends. It even invited end provoked re
bellion and opposition by Its unyielding honssiy,
and in consequence of this, it wu apparent that
Divine aid alone could be availing. The changes
in man’s heart desired were beyond the power of
man to aohieve; and benoe.all efforts to reform
men, and to oonvert them, without » sole reliance
upon the Spirit of God, must always fell.
Tbs second dirltion ofhisdlrooarw wu deroted
to th« eossideretioa of the following proportion:
That the' meaiis necessary to carry on this work I
could only be procured by the Holy STpiriVand
these means were men. and money. In this light
men were £ ‘ co-workers with God;” they were
Christ’s embassadors to go to heathen lands. The
first great want was men. Bren now the cry was
coming from many a foreign laid tip* Uto the bar*
vest, “ Gome orer and help us !” but few were the
responses to this cry. Too mpny passed this ery
by unheeded amid' the pursuits of business, and
pleasure and honors and from these pursuits It
was not in the power of human elequence.to attract
them. Men might be enlisted in the. defence of
their country by having their patriotism appealed
to by martial strains; they might be induced to
forsake friends and home for the of
the sea,'ln the hope! of obtaining wealth, and,even
tempted io penetrate to the toy T poles, altered by
fame, but neither, nor all, of these could more
npontho heart of man to make him a missionary >
of the Cross to heathen lands, where there was ne
prospeet before him but the reward Asrsq/tsrv.Ho,-
the Spirit of God was alone adequate to this species
of enlistment, and in hu hands it eoild easily be
accomplished.
Bat, besides men, money was needed. And he
might ask, in this connection, for what was money
not needed? The speaker here proceeded to show
lIIIK O^.-—... I j'l I -- ‘ ■ ~
.But here again, -it required- more than, human
might ‘or power to open the heart and hands of <
even many of tho professed dktitples of Christ.
God alone oould unlock the grasp of'the miser, and j
pour his wealth into the Divine treasury. It was i
the Bpint above that could make a man feel that *
what he has is ?iot his own, and this, he said, had |
been most strikingly exemplified in the very morn- j
ing of Christianity, when, as it is said, “ they had j
all thtagain common.”
He was now ready to take up the third division
of his theme, viz : That the qualification* of the i
Church for this work were alone the work of'the j
Spirit. First, the Church needed to be indued '
with sympathy with the heathen, that she might :
not in any case like, the priest and the Levits, “ pass
by on the other aide.” Then, also, she needed to
have sympathy with the missionaries \ hut more
than all, with Christ. She needed to feel that it
was His cause they wore subserving; she needed
in short, that sympathy whieh the Saviour felt
when He wept over Jerusalem, and the Spirit of
God alone could soften the heart and arouse its
sympathies for this work.
There was, however, still another need, and that
was the Spirit of Prayer. That prayer had
power with God was undoubted; but It must be
the earnest prayer of faith, such ae Abraham of
fered for Sodom, (or rather for the righteous -men
in it, if there were any,) that faith whioh removed
mountains; as it is said, the faith in God (or more
properly, the faith of God); and* this faith, it
must be ever remembered, was alone the
gift of God. Surely in all this we bad sufficient
confirmation of the text, that it is “ sot by might,
nor by power, {human, of course,} but by mj Spirit,
lilth the Lord.”
This truth was strikingly illustrated in the past
history of the Church. The wrath of man, like an
angry sea, had been dashed against it; Judaism
had done its utmost te crush it, and numerous
other untold and unnumbered means had united to
oppose and destroy it, yet without raoeess. The
Cross of Christ had triumphed. : In this confllot of
ages the Church had measured arms with colossal
Rome. The latter bad subdued people* and con
quered nations, but with all her fiendish machina
tions had been unable to crash by persecution the
Spirit of the Lord in his saints. In leas than fifty
years from its commencement, Christianity had a
foothold In that mighty metropolis of the world,
and four hundred years bad net elapsed before it
was tho acknowledged religion of ihe empire!
By some, Christianity has been stigmatised as a
“failure.” Impossible! said the speaker. As
soon might we expeot to (fee the columns of the
mediatorial throne fell, as that the Religion o?
Jesus Christ should fail of Its grand elm and object, i
No! to*day, gatesof empire, long closed, were being
thrown open for the reception of the truth of God.
Never, in fact, had the noon-day son of Christiani
ty been ee near Its meridian splendor as now:
In the fourthi and last place, the final and
universal triumph of the Church «u considered
as the work of God’s Spirit. To redeem the world 5
to make “ the desort blossom as the roseV’ and
change every heathen temple into a house of God,
the speaker boldly declared, was the mission of the
Church of Christ. Nor did he regard the conver
sion of the heathen, and the substitution of the
Cross for the Crescent, as the most difficult field to
be won in this great missionary battle. Rather
was It among the nations of Europe, where Ration
alism, and infidelity, studied and deep-rooted, in
their worst forms, were gathering millions under
their defiant banner, that the most appalling bar
rier was presented. He admitted that to render
this mighty host of the enemy tributary to God,
through their conversion, was toe great a work for
man. Nevertheless, he said, its accomplishment
was sure, for God had spoken it.
[The speaker did not explicitly state whether he'
believed that this final triumph of Christianity
would be accomplished by the conversion of
Christ’s enemies, through missionary agenoy; er
by the Lord at his Second coming to devour his
enemies and make them “ his footstool,” when, it
is said, “ all kindreds of the earth shall be
cause of him.” The former, or conversion riew,
was, however, left to be Inferred.— Reporter.}
The oonoTnifonof this discourse was eloquent and
impressive, and worthy of the presence In which it
was spoken. Jesus, be said, was our Zerubbabei,
who had undertaken the bnUdiag of the great spi
ritual temple, of which that on Moriah was but
the type. He It was who had laid its foundations,
and In due time the cap-stone would be laid upon
it by the aaxno omnipotent Architect, when the ban
ner of the Cross shall float gracefully over all na
tions and peoples, and from every tongue shall ge
up the joyous shout, “Hallelujah! for the Lord.
GodOmnlpotent reigneth!” -j Q the mean time,
however, we must expect to hear of wars and ru
mors of wars; yet we might rest assured that the
Spirit of the Lord was in them, and overruling
them for His own purposes and plans. He oloeed
with a brief reference to the encouragements which
the Church has of its ultimate triumph, and by
urging all who heard him to remember that whUe
was indeed theirs, the glory and the success
belonged to God. _ _

Terrible Domestic Tragedy in New
AN INJURED HUSBAHD TAXES THE LAW INTO HIS OWE
HANDS, AND IS HELD TO HAYS ACTED JUSTLY.
[From the New Orleans Delta. June 7.)
We mentioned yesterday that Joseph WUUans,
charged with the killing of George 8. Howe, the
night olerk of the Fourth-district station-house,
baa been discharged by Recorder Summers. The
following Is the statement made in writing to the
ooort:
STATEMENT OF JOSEPH C. WTLX4A3|p.
I have suspected George Howe, for more than a
year, of having designs upon my wife, and X have
been convinced for fonr months past that he was
carrying on a criminal intercourse with her. He
met her at several places, visited my house daring
toy absence, and was seen coming out of it at 4
o’clock in the morning.
. I forbade him my house, and warned him never
to ge there again. He repeatedly retained, and
was invariably warned to cease his visits.
On Friday, before my arrest, I had Along talk
with him, and he pledged himself never to come to
my boose again, and spoke in tKe highest terms of
my wife’s character. I took a drink with him and
then parted, he renewing the promise never te visit
my wife. I felt quite unhappy, but did sot know
what farther to do
About 0 o’clock that night I undressed to go to
bed, when a knock was heard at the front door.
My wife went to the door, and I asked who was
there. I heard Howe say, I want to tea Mr. Wil
liams, the d—d rasoml. I then came out into my
parlor, and Howe abused rue and cursed me, shook
a oano at ms, and said I had been speaking about
him and my wife, and that I was ad—d lying-—.
He repeated the oath, and, placing his hand be
hind his back, took hold of a pistol. I then went
back Into my ohamber and got toe revolver I al
ways carry with me when travelling. I raid to
him, when I came hack, “ Go out, I will tiv with
you outside.” He refused to leave—renewed his
onrse, and presented his pistol.■ He was beside
himself with rage, and was on the point of shoot*
lag me down in my own house when I fired at
him. My wife immediately seised my arm, and
my pistol was twice discharged In the straggle.
I noted altogether in self-defonee, against a man
who had first seduced my wife, and then come to
my domicile to soek a quarrel, and murder me be
fore that wife and my Innocent children. I am
very sorry to have been obliged to act in this man
ner’, and to have been driven to the necessity of
sheading human blood; audit weighs heavily upon
my heart.
But before ibis court and before my country, and
In the presence of God, I declare that I was
obliged to do It for my own preservation.
A man undergoing imprisonment in the prison
of Bpulogne-sur-Mer tor robbery, under the name
of Aaron, had been reoognhed as'one o£> very des
perate band of burglars, seventeen in number, who
were arrested in the south of France in 2551, bat
all of whom, singular to relate, succeeded in escap
ing. This Aaron, who effected his escape from the
prison at Pan, was sent back there, recently he
was brought to trial before the Court of Assises of
the Basse s-Pyreness for robbery and burglary. In

ri, Dofoar, Leon, Jacob, and Aaron, bat
tb&t his real name is David; also, that he had re
presented himself to be a Belgian and a Roman
Cathollo, but that he is really a Frenchman and a
jew. He said also that he had been condemned

was condemned to four yean imprisonment for rob*
beiy, whiob he underwent; that then be went to
Germany and to England; and that on returning
from England he had stopped at Boulogne, and had
there been condemned. Proof was then given of
several robberies and burglaries committed by
him in 1850 and 1851 ; and among them were these :
At Libourne, where he resided some little time,
he passed himself off as a corn-cutter, and by af
fecting to be a rigid Jew obtained the confidence
of a rich Israelite trader, named Delireira. He
ended by robbing him of 30,000 f. worth of goods.

maker and Iftcemakar, and stole from one goods to
