From the Portfolio of one who knew her.
BY HELEN BK.RKt.fcY.
"It was in Paris, during the winter of 1810,
that 1 first beheld Lady Rulwcr. (ieneral
Cass, the American Ambassador, was giving
one of the most splendid balls of tho 6cason.
About the time that his magnificent suite of
apartments began to be oppressively crowded, a
gentleman approached mo, and said : "Let me
cet you out of this throng. There is some
thing in the boudoir yonder, that is better worth
seeing than all these panting people, that look
as if they were going to melt away with the
heat, Itdy Bulwer is there. She is a great
lion. Would you not like to see her !"
Oh ! yes' I replied, with so little interest in
my tone, that 1 now cannot help feeling both
wonder and provocation at the recollection of
my own listless indifference.
'You must discover her, then, without my as
sistance said my friend. ! shall leave you
while you make the experiment.'
'That will be rather difficult,' I returned ;
'fori have never heard her person described.
However, I have no objection to try my skill in
physiognomy.'
Wo entered the boudoir. There were not
more than fifty persons assembled. My com
panion found ine a scat, and retired, while I
made a survey of the apartment, and endeavor
ed to select the one, who Wo most resem
blance to the portrait in my imagination of
Lady Bulwer. A number of extremely beauti
ful women were present. Several of them be
longed to the English nobility. As my eyes
glanced round the room they were soon riveted,
as by a spell, upon the form of a majestic look
ing woman, whose queenlike and peculiarly
graceful carriage was unequalled by the bear
ing of any that surrounded her. She was at
tired in a robe of crimson velvet. Its long
train, bordered with ermine, lay in rich folds
at her feet. Her form might have been con
sidered too expansive for perfect beauty, were
it not that its faultless symmetry made you for
get tho size in admiration of tho proportions.
Her soft, dark hair was simply parted on the
whitest of foreheads, and its exuberant tresses
gathered into one graceful knot behind. Her
exquisitely moulded head was encircled by a
tiara of diamonds. Those gems remind me of
her eyes, which were of a blue so intense, and
so b-illianf, that vou mistook them at first fur
black; and they always spoke in advance of
her lips. Her complexion was of that trans
parent whiteness, softly blending on the cheeks
with a peachhlossom hue which is seldom pos
sessed except by the daughters of the "Ocean
Isle." Her parted lips, when she smiled, dis
closed a set of teeth, that almost seemed to re
flect back the same light as a boo of snow upon
which the noon-dny tun is shining. But that
smile it was more sweet than gay. And as
you looked upon her you felt, that it was not
the perfections which centred in her person
that rendered her beautiful. It was the ex
pression the grace the btilliancy nay it
was the reflection of a soul beaming over all !
I beckoned to my friend, and, designating
the lady, who had arrested my attention, said ;
'Surely that must be Lady Bulwer V
'You are right," he replied triumphantly : 'I
made a bet that you would discover her, for
when she is present thrrc stems to be nobody
the in the room. Is she not a magnificent
woman V
The history of Lady Bulwer was ot that
time upon every lip. The envious blamed
the compassionate pitied the disinterested
praised. But her conduct was so unimpeach
able, her character so unblemished, that the
voice of slander was hushed in awe. Even
calumny sought not to despoil her of ht:r rich,
est, almost her only possession her fair fume.
I must acknowledge that in common with a
large portion oft he American community, I had
permitted 'Cheveley' to prejudice mo against
fjiily Bulwer. Like too many others, I thought
'the wife, u ho can so blazen her husband's er
rors, or vices, to the world, mutt be unworthy
ol esteem.' Ltko them I forget that that wile
might have been goaded to the commission of
this fault by a long series ot injuries and in
sultsthat she might have been forced to it as
a means of obtaining a livelihood thut 'to err
is human.'
The day succeeding the ball given by Gen
eral Cass, I became personally acquainted with
Idy Bulwer. For several months after that
period I saw her almost daily, sometimes pass
ing two and three hours at a time in her socie
ty. And tho more intiniatley I became ac
quainted with her, the mure I reproached my
self for ever having breathed a word, or harbor
ed a thought, to her disparagement.
She was exceedingly ingenious by nature.
Her confidence was easily, perhaps tootasily
won. As her history hud now become so public,
she did not scruple to relate to ine tho story
of her domestic grievances; the origin of 'Che
veley ;' the cause of her separation from her
huebnnd, and tho circumstances which ercw
out of the unhappy feud. Had her sorrows
sprung from her own vices, or her own follies,
then indeed she might have been less com
municative. As it was, she had no motive for
concealment.
It is difficult to concentrate in a few brief
words, a history which occupied many hours in
its relation; and which memory has most faith
fully treasured ; but I will attempt it.
Ijuly Bulwer, then Rosina Wheeler, was
married at the ajje of eighteen, to Mr. Bulwer,
now Sir Edward Lytton Bulwer. She gave
him her heart with her hand, and had every
reason to believe that he returned his own, un
til she discovered that he was not embarrassed
with eo troublesome a possession. Before she
had been married a year, she had proofs, too
incontestable, of her husband's being a lawless
and remorseless libertine. But she was then
about to become a mother ; and what will not
n woman endure for the sake of her child ?
What will not a woman, who loves, or has
loved, forgive ! On the birth of tbat child, in
whose endearments she had fondly hoped to
find consolation for the neglect and cruelty of
her husband, his tyranny assumed a new nnd
more dreadful shape. Almost before the young
mother was considered out of danger, her in
fant, in spite of her expostulations, and prayers
and tears, was taken from her and placed un
der tho charge of a wet nurse, who resided
several miles from Ixindon. Bulwer declared
that he would not permit his wife to become a
nursery maid ; that children were his detesta
tion ; and that the 'noisy little imp' should be
kept at o respectacle distance ! Lady Bulwer
did not submit to this unnatural and despotic
decree, without remonstrating. But her grief
and entreaties only called forth the most viru
lent abuse from her inflexible husband. After
this incident he neg'ected her more than ever,
and not unfrequently, in his moments of tin
governable passions, she was forced lo submit
to personal violence.
She again became a mother, and her child
was a son. Through the influence of a eompas
sionate physician, the child was left under her
care, and her little daughter recalled from ex
ile. The wife and mother was now compara
tively happy. When her husband was at home
she could only visit the nursery by stealth, but
he generally spent his days and nights in dissi
pation, and seldom troubled her with his unde
sirable society. Hut in his absence she waa
continually? subjected to the persecutions of his
mother, who was originally opposed to'the mar
riage, and showed an open detestation of her
daughter in-law from the beginning.
This woman became a spy upon Lidy Bu!
wer's actions, and was continually exciting
Bulwer'e anger against his wife. This state of
affiirs continued until his daughter waa aliout
six or seven years old. The grandmother then
declared that the child must have a governess,
Bulwer agreed with her, and procured the do.
sired governess. And now, indeed, Lady Bui.
wers misery soon oaiiteu description. Mie
was not permitted to have a voice in any thing
that concerned her child. Her studies, her
dress, her exercise, her food, were all at the
command of the governess. And this lady in
authority did not scruple to tell the anxious
mother, when she remonstrated, that such were
Sir Edward's order. Iidy Bulwer complained
to her husband. But he sometimes lauged in
her face, and told her that the woman was as
competent a person as could lie found, 'and
very pretty withal ;' and at other times he
flew into a rage, and forbade her mentioning the
subject.
Before many months elapsed, Ijdy Rulwer
inevitably discovered that this unfortunate wo
man was, beyond a doubt, another of her hus
band's victims. The woman herself evinced
no shame at her situation ; but, elated at the
helplessness of Lady Bulwer, and her own sup
posed superiority, assumed perfect control over
the household. ' Ijidy Bulwrr's orders to the
domestics were countermanded, her most trivial
arrangements interfered with, ami her children
invariabiy ordered to their studies, precisely at
the hour which she had appointed for taking
the air with them. Thus was she annoyed
and irritated in every manner by a person who
made her degradation the excuse for her as
sumption of authority. Once more she appeal
cd to her husband, and, it may have been
anrily insisted, that the governess, should bo
discharged. He replied that she should remain
as long aa it auiled his convenience, and when
the wife answered him, he struck her a blow
which felled her to the earth I What resource
had she ! She was fatherless and brother lew
poor, and an orphan, while he wasall-pow
erful. She lived but for her children, and for
their takes endured even this indignity.
A few days after this lost occurrence, she
received an insult from tho governess, whic
exceeded in grrssness any former impert
nence. It was lutein the evening, and for
once ber husband was at home. She sought
the parlor, where he was luxuriating over his
wine and cigar, and, repeating to him what
had occurred, added : "I will hear this no long
er I cannot, bear it any longer. Either Miss
must leave the house, or i shall leave
You may choose between the two.'
Certainly,' replied Bulwer, with provoking
calmness, 'I have chosen long ago. You shall
leave it. And, since you have made up your
mind to go, I don't intend to give you your
own time. You shall pack off at once this
very moment and Miss remains where
she is. I have promised her my protection, and
she shall have it.'
Lady Bulwer acknowledged that ahe was
deeply incensed. She hastily left the room,
went up stairs, and told her two bewildored
children to put on their cloaks and bonnets.
Bulwer soon followed her, to demand why she
was not gone. She walked from the apartment
leading her children, and without replying.
He accompanied her, saying with mock gal
lantry : 'Permit mo the pleasure of closing the
door upon you, madam.'
Thisactof politoncs he in reality performed ;
but not without hastening it by giving his wife
o rude push. The unfortunate mother and her
luckless children sought protection under the
hospitable roof ot Mrs. Hume, who resided at
a very short distance ; and who had been Ia
dy Bulwer's bosom friend from childhood.
That the above tale is strictly true, I have
other testimony besides the word of Iady Bul
wer. Before leaving Paris I became acquainted
with Mr. Hume, the husband of the lady, at
whose house she sought refuge ; and he veri
fied to me the history of her misfortunes and
wrongs.
Iidy Bulwer never returned to the mansion,
from which she had been so disgracefully
thrust. She retired with her children to the
country ; and, for six months, resided with
great retirement. She obtained a separation
from her husband, but a large sum of money
was necessary to tile a bill ot divorce. I tns
she had no prospect of obtaining; for she re
ceived from Bulwer barely the means of sub
sistence. Yet, she Fays, those months of quiet
were among the happiest of her liie. She
could have 1 ived on contentedly for years ; for
the rapidly developing charms of her young
children compensated her for every privation
But her husband's persecution pursued her even
to her seclusion. He requested her to sign
some papers, the import of which I have tor-
gotten, thn atcitine that her children should
return to his ptnirctinn if she disobey d. She
refused; entreated him to leave her unmolest-
as she should ncer more molest him. Then
came the last, well-aimed blow, which crush
ed her maternal heart. Her children her
cherished children her only consolation in af
fliction her children, for w hom she had en
dured indignity, and suffering, and privation,
and wrong were stolen from her by a well
laid f trategem, and conducted to their father.
While her heart and brain were convulsed by
the most terrible fears at their protracted disap
pearance, a letter from Bulwer was placed in
her bandit. It informed her that the chilJren
were now in his possession ; and that, since
she had defied his power by refusing to sign
the papers, as a punishment, she should nrrrr
behold them again ! He added, in conclusion :
'Madam, remember that you are fatherless and
brotherless, und I will crush you to atoms.'
These are his words.
The strongest affection of her nature tram
pled tiK)n, what wonder that she became fran
tic ! Who is so sinless, that he may fling the
stone of reproach, because revenge waa at last
awakened in her bosom? The man, before
whose talents a worshipping world was bowing
in admiration, whose name was trumpeted from
mouth to mouth as a god's, was, like a fiend,
exerting all the ingenuity of his crafty nature
to keen on the mental rack a bein?, who had
devoted her life to him and his olT-pring. And
should the world know nothing of this T Alas!
when Lidy Bulwer expected justice or com
passion from the world, she forgot that the pow
erful oppressor, not the friendless oppressed, can
alone awaken its sympathies. To unveil tho
Mokanna they were adoring as an idol, she
wrote 'Cheveley ;' and faintly shadowed forth
a character too deeply denomiacal for human
pen to portray. Blinded to her wrongs by tho
dazzling genius of her husband, the public con
demned her. Was she not his wife J What
right had a worm to turn upon tho foot which
crushed it !
Those alone who knew her personally, and,
I might add, those also who knew him person
ally, defended and excused her. She herself
repented of the hasty passion, which induced
her to geek for that justice which alio discover
ed was a jewel not to be found. Slio obtained
but one object by her woik. She gained mo
ney enouifh to relieve her present wants, th'
sum which Bulwer allowed her being insuffi
cient. (To be continued.)

THE MftlDER IX SEW YOnK. ,
The following circumstantial account of the
lnte murder in New York is from tho Evening
Post. The flMinnercial Advertiser states that
the seducer in this case was the female.
Dreadful Mnrdir In Leonard Street.
Last night a most audacious and terrible
murder was committed in the open streets of
our city. Charles O. Corltes who lias kept
a bowling saloon at 800 Broadway, under tho
manufactory, was killed by a pistol shot, at a
few minutes previous to seven o'clock, and
within thirty feet of Broadway, the most fre
quented of all our thoroughfares. Tho fucts
as far as wchave been able to ascertain, are as
follows :
About half-past six o'clock on last evening
as Mr. Corlies was attending to the duties of
his establishment, a female, with a straw hat
and veil on, came in, with whom Mr. Corlies
teated himself. After remaining thus some
minutes, several gentlemen carne in to play at
ten pins, and the female got up to go out, Mr.
Corlies putting on his coat and going with her.
A short period subsequent to this, Mr. II.
Hodges, one of the proprietors of the Carlton
House, saw Corlies standing a tew feet below
the door of the Carlton w hich opens into Leo
nard street, in conversation with a woman, and
went into the bar-room and told Mr. Bates, the
bar-keeper, that Corlies was talking to a wo
man outside, and if he went to the barber's
shop he could see him. Before, however, Mr
Bates could get from behind the bar, the leport
of a pistol was heard, and on Mr. B. going to
the door, he saw a female who answered the
description given of the person with whom
Corlies was seen talking, walk, past towards
Broadway. A servant girl who resides in the
block below the Carlton House, in I.eonard
street, and was going to the pump atthe corner
of Leonard and Benson streets, also heard the
report, and immediately afterwards a man
rushed past her towards Elm street, at the
top of his speed. This man was also seen by
a Mr. Cody who was sitting in the rear part of
the bar-room of the Carlton, and who rushed
out on hearing the report of the pistol.
The report of the pistol, of course, attracted
the attention of all in the neighborhood, and
Mr. Corlies was found lying on the ground
and taken into the Carlton, in the rear part of
the bar-room, where he was examined and
found to have been shot by a discharge from a
five barrel nistol, which was found lying near
him, with one barrel empty and the other four
'oaded. The ball had entered the back part
of his head, a little to the left, and passed in
an upward direction, lodging, as is supposed, in
the fore part of his brain. Information of this
event was immediately conveyed to the police,
and Justice Matsell, with a number ot officers,
w as speedily on the spot the Mayor who had
just taken lodgings at the Carlton House, ha
ving arrived immediately after the shot had
been fired. Active measures were immediate
ly adopted to apprehend the porpetrator, if pos
sible, and suspicion falling on J. H. Colton, who
had been held to bail in the sum of $5000 for a
previous attempt to shoot Mr. Corlies, on Fri
day, the 10th instant, at the door of his lodging
house, 10S Leonard street, his Honor the May
or directed Judge Matsell and some of the of
ficers to proceed to his lodgings, at 2-1 Vesey
street, and if he was at home, to arrest him.
Judge Matsell accordingly went, and found
Mr. Colton sitting with Mr. Parsons, the pro
prietor of the house, in the parlor, and having
requested a private interview with Mr. Colton,
Parsons went out, and left them together, when
Judge Matsell arrested him, and informed him
for what. Colton was perfectly cool and self
possessed, nnd fiom attendant circumstmces,
would seem not to have been out of the house
at the time the murder was committed.
Immcdiawllv after his arrest a woman with a
veil on and somewhat answering the descrip
tion of the one with whom ('nines bail been
seen talking, entered the bouse in great baste
and was stopped and questioned by the officers
in the hall, whom she told, that she had just
come from fireen street, nnd bad been running
like a race horse. Aa she appeared to be ac
quainted with the inmates of the house the
was allowed to pass, and she went up stairs and
subsequently left the house, hut was arrested
in the course of the night ; but it being shown
to bo very evident that sho kr.ew nothing of
the circumstances, and was not in any way
connected with the murder, she was released.
Justice Matsell, after searching the house with
out finding any thing suspicion, had Colton
conveyed to the Tombs, and placed in one of
the cells.
During the time that Justice Matsell was
absent, Corlies was lying where lie had been
first placed, attended by Dr. Hosack and other
physicians, and his brother Nothing could,
howevcr.be done to relieve him, and he lin
gered only until four in notes past ten, when
he expired. In the mean time the Coroner had
been sent fir, and had arrived, and he, accom
panied by Justice Matsell and several officers,
went to Cotton's residence, and after question
ing Mr Parsons, they proceeded to the next
door, (No. 20) the residence of Mrs. Colton,
and desired one of the black servants to tell
Mrs. Colton that iho was wanted. Mrs. Cot
ton returned as an answer, that she neither
wished to see nor speak to any person that
evening, on which Justice Matsell, the Coro
ner, and officers ascended to tho door of her
room, and she having been repeatedly asked to
open the door it was finally broken open, when
she was discovered on a sofn, and from her
manner appeared to be partially insane, After
various attempts to rouse her she was left in
the charge of officers, "and during the night
wns visited by her counsel. Mr. Charles
O'Connor, and after an interview with him she
appeared to revive, and was taken to the tombs.
These are all tho arrests which have been
made, and as yet no further light has been
thrown on the matter, cither to show by whom
this dreadful deed was committed or what
were the motives which led to its commission.
A post mortem examination was made, nt
noon on this day, by Dr. Hosack, assisted by
several other physicians, and the Coroner will
hold an inquest thi9 afternoon at 3 o'clock, in
the Sessions Court room, in the Halls of Jus
tice, when it is to be hoped that something may
be elicited that will lead to the detection of tho
guilty party.
The surmises of those who have been enga
ged in making the arrests, as to the perpetra
tor, and the motives for the commission of tho
act are various. The following are those which
appear to be the most feasible.
The first, and what will be thought the
most probable supposition, is, that the deed waa
committed by Mrs. Colton, who is known to
have been out of her house at the time tho
murder was committed. There are various
reasons urged in support of this. Colton has
for some time suspected that an improper inti
macy existed between his wife and Corlies,
and it was this suspicion that led to his making
the attempt lo Corlies on the 10th instant ; and
it is said that, having approached his wife with
unfaithfulness to him, and with having loved
Corlies, she made answer that 6he would soon
bring him proof whether she loved him or
not.
The other, and to our mind tho most proba
ble supposition is, that the murder was com
mitted by the man who was seen running down
Leonard street, and that Colton was accessary
to the deed. It is supposed that Mrs. Colton
may have been the unconscious agent of thj
death of Corlies, by having been watched, on
the surmise that if she went to see Corlies, he
would undoubtedly come out of his bowling al
ley to talk with her, and thus afford the assas
sin an opportunity of committing this foul deed.
This, however, would betray such on alarming
state of facts that we earnestly and sincerely
hope it may prove to be an unfounded view, for
if parties can be procured hired or engaged
to commit murder for the sake of pain, to gra
tify the revengeful feelings, or malice of ano
ther, there will be no security for life in this
city. This view, however, would suppose
Mrs. Colton to have been present at the time
Mr. Coilics was shot, anil would account for
the state in which she was found at her lodg
ings by Judge Matsell and the Coroner, while
we can hardly suppose that, if she were guilty
of intentional murder, 6he would have betray
ed such unequivocal signs of distress of mind.
Wc earnestly hope that the perpetrator may he
discovered and brought to condign punish
ment. The Emperor. CalioU-a's House. Caligtr
