A '4e Whim of the Lepreas w published every *veal,: during the maim wawa , cuutaiuilig the result. , d the &We rasa T.. say that trot& is stranger than fiction is not only as absurd as most commonplaces, but si.jually unjust to fiction and to truth. Nothing too strange can happen in a world where all is imaginary and unreal—persona, situations, and incidents. It is when the boundary line of fiction is crossed by fact, and the plot of a novel is unra velled in a police-court, that truth seems "strange" to a gaping public, not because it sounds like fiction, but because facts of this kind are not found out every day, and • make-be lieve world is easily surprised. There is something providential in the supply of ex citements dunnl the dead season. The mur derous den in Northumberland-street was scarcely wiped up, whin a shower of railway manslaughter, set in ; and the Inquests are only just over when " the Rugby Romance" appears on the scene. It is a hard fate for that most respectable midland town that its name should be coupled with • " romance " destitute even of the tragic dignity of crime. It is a still harder case that the names of two estimable families should be dragged by the unscrupulous carelessness that panders to unscru pulous curiosity, into connexion with a low adventure made up of the meanest and moat vulgar motives, the coarsest incidents, and the foulest insinuations. Perhaps it is the disease of a tedious and monotonous society, this mania for dressing up and decorating with showy properties and appointments a piece of stupid heartlessness and fraud. The amount of invention and exaggeration that has been heaped upon this disgusting business would make the fortune of many of those thrilling penny tales which ladies' maids and footmen de vour in their idle hours. The facts of the case are few and simple. Mr. Iticiisan GOINNZIIS Hitt, who was yesterday committed for trial, is, it seems, an Irish gentleman, who, some time before August, 1852, made the acquaintance of Miss Asiv tirOKUiAsA HURDIIIT, a young lady then living with her widowed mother, won her affections, and obtained her hand. So far there is nothing beyond the range of very ordinary experience. Given the "gentleman," as he might be described in a passport, and the young lady under the can of her mother, pretty, and said to be rich, and with neither father nor brother to protect her, and what follows is quite in the order of nature. Irish gentlemen of no particular calling, with no professional demands upon their leisure, with lively imaginations and inquiring minds, are naturally attracted by young ladies with undefined expectations. Mr. RIVHAILLI Ilonrrnss HILL in due course wee married to Mies AMY 0110110ILNA BeIIDITT at the British Embassy, Brawls. Before the marriage (for in this case the " romance " comes afterwards) the fortune of the bride-5,0001. in possession (and 9,0001. in reversion on the death of her mother)—was settled so as to give the husband a life interest, reserving 1001. • year to the wife as pin-money ; and failing Mine, with power to the wife to appoint by will. For six years and a half Mr. and Mrs. Ilrtt lived together, childless. l 1859, at Dublin, Mrs. fliu became in the family-way, and it appears her husband was particularly anxious that the child ahoold be born in London. But at Rugby Mrs. 11 st.x wee obliged to stop, and there, in the nearest homes to the station, in a small inn, the child was born ; and at Rugby, according to law, the child was registered by the father, but ree ntered as the sou of Rouse and MART HILL ; " maiden name of mother, Smote ; profession "of father, general merchant." For ten days the child was nursed by its mother. It then occurred to the father that the baby would do better out at nurse, and the mother consented to send her first born infant, under the charge of a girl of 14, to London. From that day till the present nothing more was heard of the child. The mother it is natural to suppose inquired after it from time to time, and was satisfied to be told that it was doing well. At length, however, she became impatient to see tb• child, and was told on one omission that it was dead ; on another, that it had been sent to Australia. It was reasonable that the mother should be anxious, and even MILOS to live any longer! with her husband unless the child was restored to bor. Inquiries were met on foot ; Cie services of the detective police were engaged, and the two women who had received the child at Euston Station two years before from the bands of the father and the little girl were traced the one to a horrible den in St. Odes's, the other to the Roane of Correction. These women wore able to identify the gentleman who had given on. I Of them the child to keep ; and they were both identified by the girl who brought the child to l i London. The shawl in which the child was wrapped when she received it was still in the' woman's possession, and was produced. So far the evidence was singularly complete. The birth of the child at Rugby was proved by the nurse and the surgeon. The entry in the register was produced, the girl who brought the infant to Lon don, the women who received it—all and each contributed their several links to the evidence. (inc of these women swore that she bad never lost sight of the child during two years, exce;:t for one week, when she was in prison and the child was sent into the workhouse. The child itself bore witness, at least by visible repulsion, to its foster-mother. Enough of obscurity and uncertainty, however, still hangs about certain points of the evidence to exercise the skill and quickness of an ingenious counsel. The child is there, but the mother cannot swear to its THE EXPRESS, THURSDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 26, 1861. ' identity ; the father will not : it rests on tha oath' of the woman who received 161. two years ago for its keep, and who never lost sight of it for more than a single week. It appears from the marriage settlement that the wife's fortune— which wee settled in trust for the benefit of the children of the marriage, if any, and after the death of the survivor, husband or wife—was, in default of issue, to be held in trust for the benefit of the wife absolutely in case of her surviving her husband ; but in case of the husband surviving, and the power of appointment not having been exercised by the wife, one moiety of the trust fund was to go to the husband, and the other half in due course to the wife's next kin. It is therefore not impossible to conceive the husband's motives in disposing of this first-born child, after amustoming himself to expect no issue of the marriage. We have no taste for dwelling on the " romantic " episodes of this base and miserable business. The fatherly bargain in the back street near the Haymarket; the drive with the two women in the cab to Easton-square—all these touching scenes of ten derness, all these delicate transactions, are as un pleasant to imagine as to describe. It dues not ap pear that the poor outcast child, covered with sores and vermin, half-starved and not half clothed, had been cruelly treated in that dreadful den of misery. The child was simply brought up accord ing to the conditions in which it was placed. Nor is it possible to treat this story as one of a happy pair deliberately putting a beloved child out of the way. We see an adventurer of • familiar type—a young girl of 19, without the protection of a father or brother—a marriage without issue for seven years—a child born by accident, and parted from its mother within a fortnight ; lost in St. Giles's for two years, dead, carried to Australia, for aught the mother knows, or the father cares to tell ; then hunted out by the police, and restored to its parents, one of whom will not swear, and the other cannot swear, to its identity. No one can suppose this to be the orh.de came ; and it is as well perhaps that we should for the present bo content to bestow our sympathies on a child recovered from a pit of misery and crime.

A Copenhagen letter says :—" Nothing is known here on the subject, but if the moour should prove true it would be hailed her, with joy. The prince's alluded to is the Princess Alexandra, daughter of Prince Christian of Denmark, the prince on whom, and on whose male descendants, the succession to the Danish monarchy will devolve according to the treaty of London of 1852. The princess is now staying with her parents at the Chateau of Rurnpinheim, ;n Hesse, the summer mi asma°, her grandparent,, the landgrave and lAndgravine of Renee.

When Prince Alfred arrived at Queenstown on board the Niagara he wee waited on by Bear• Admiral Talbot and Commodore Yelvertoo, commander of the Coastguard, whom he received in the most cordial manner, and accepted an invitation to mil about the harbour in the beautiful yacht Argus while the Niagara was awaiting the arrival of the special train from Dublin. His royal highness is mid to have expressed himself greatly delighted with the cam. bullies of the harbour and the beauty of the se , mundiag scenery. The Cork Herald says that, finding such a crush of passengen, especially ladies, on board the Niagara from the Great pesters, he most kindly expressed his readiness to give up the large apartments that had been &litigant him, and to rough it daring the voyage—an offer which won for the pliant young prince great applause.

THE AFFAIRS OF PRUSSIA. The Jcnarnal des Dents of to-day treats at con siderable length of Prussian politics, and enters into statements which will provoke much comment in Europe. According to this journal, one of the chief subjects which are being discussed by the council of Prussian ministers at present assembled at Cob lentz, is the isolation of Prussia and her policy as to alliances with other powers. M. de Bern storff, the new Minister of Foreign Affairs, who had several interviews with the King during his stay at Ostend, would prefer above all others the English alliance ; hut, according to the Ile, he conceives that the "imperious, exacting, susceptible, and irritable character" of the Euglish nation inter poses many difficulties, and renders it highly desire ble that Prussia should not be reduced to this single alliance. An alliance with France would, in the opinion of M. de Bernstorff, have all the advantages of the English alliance and none of its drawbacks; it would dissipate, as by enchantment, the anxieties of Germany and permit the German governments to undertake necessary reforms. The King will stay two days at Compiegne at the beginning of next month, and after his coronation will pay • visit to the Emperor of Austria, at Vienna. The informants of the Dfimits alley that the recognition of the kingdom of Italy by Prussia is indefinitely postponed, the King and Count Bernstorff being in favour of that course, while the Prince de Hohenzollern and the Baron de Schleinitz would prefer immediate recognition. _ _ - A letter from Berlin fixes the date for the com mencement of the ceremonies of the coronation at Kienigsberg for the 13th of October until the 18th.

Her father and mese, Jean Baptiste Cites and Juliette Garcia, were, thirty years ago, strolling players, known principally at Etampes and Chartres, but they after wards travelled much in the southern provinces. Their daughters, Roes and Anna, were brought upon the stags when mere babies. One day, at Perigueux, the celebrated Prefect Romieu, seeing the two girls playing together, exclaimed " Que.& joke paire de CiZO4" [Cistamr] (what a pretty pair of sclison). This official pun had great moons, but the father was vexed at it, and ever afterwards took the name of Cheri, which was simply • common term of endearment used towards him by his wife and children. M. Romieu amply indemnified him for the liberty taken with his patronymic by giving him • letter of introduction to Bayer, the dramatist, then in vogue in Paris. This cir cumstance led to the removal of the Clime family to the metropolis, and was the foundation of their fortunes. Os April 5, 1842, the favourite piece of La ✓euaaee ()raven was in the bills of the Gymnaee, and the house was crowded. After the performance of the opening interlude an unusually long pause muted, during which the audience became impa tient; and at length M. Motive', the manager,canie forward to say that thine. Nathalie,who was advertised for the prin cipal part, was suddenly taken ill ; but th►t in order that the public might not be disappointed, a young lady, un known in Paris, had kindly consented, &c., to undertake the character. This announcement was received with murmurs. Presently • beautiful modest-looking girl, almost a child, came forward, and at once prepossessed the audience in her favour. Her soft yet penetrating voice and charming man. oar gained all hearts as she went on, and at the fall of the curtain she was unanimously called for. " What is your name ?" inquired M. Morval, as he prepared to lead her on the stage. " Ram Circa." " That name will never do," said the manager, hurriedly, " the public will laugh at it— give Inc another." "My father called himself Chin in the provinces," said the timid debutante—and thereupon the name of Rose Cheri was for the first time proclaimed in that Gymnase Theatre of which she ban been ever since the principal ornament. One morning in the year 1847, the Cizos family I was assembled in its little drawing-room, when Scribe, the great dramatic author, came in with • look of importance, and dressed with sernpn bons care. "Good morning, M. Scribe," said Rose, gum big him by the hand ; " have you brought me a new part!" " Yes, mademoiselle ; I have come to offer you a pert which you ought to have had before this." "Ah ! what is the catastrophe r " Wait till you know the beginning ;" and then making a bow to M. and Madame Cizos, M. Scribe for mally and solemnly demanded the hand of their eldest daughter for M. Lemoine-Mootigny, manager of the Gym name. The proposal was accepted, but the marriage was put off for two months for the following singular reason Mdlle. Roes Cheri's dramatic services had beer. too much needed by her family for them to suspend them even for a short period, and the intolerance of the oonntry priests with whom the Ciao* had been in contact was such that they would not administer the " first communion"—that greed ceremony which must precede a catholic marriage —so long as the girls were on the stage. Mgr. Afire, the late lamented archbishop of Paris, took • more liberal view of the dramatic profession in relation to religion, and during two months Rom and Anna Cheri were wont to hurry away from rehearsal to receive religious instruction from the vicar of St. Elisabeth. They subsequently received their East communion in the Church of St. Roch, and on May 12, Rae Cheri married M. Lemoine-Montigny, and her sister Anna, M. Lemur, the well-known actor of the °venue. 818 E. B. LYTTUN, M.P., ON FOREIGN APPAIRs. HITCHIN, WIDNXBDAT NIGHT. The annual nesting of the Hertfordshire Agricul tural Society was held to-day in this town. After the dis tribution of prizes, the members dined together in the Corn Exchange, . _ Sir E. B. Lrrrox, in responding to the tout of the " County Members," said—Groat changes have come over Europe. When I last addressed you what was Italy! A score of petty states, in which the Muds of order were the puppets of Austria, and the friends of freedom a band of wild conspirators, who could not choose any other weapon than the miserable dagger of the assassin. And now what is Italy? A great nation, Is constitutional monarchy. The tyrant is gone. Let us hope the assassin has also departed. (" Hear, hear," and cheers.) Italy is like the bewildered princess of whom we have all read in old story books, who was cast into a deep slumber until the walls of the castle in which she was moaned fell at the trumpet blast of her deliverer. Thus was Italy awakened from the slumber of ages. She has been restored not only to the nations of the globe, but also to the struggles and pusions of youth. (Hear.) Let us say, may heaven guard and bless her. (Cheers.) Now we have • direct national interest in the entrance of Italy into the rank of constitu tional monarchies. (Heist.) Some of us may doubt if Sardinia acted with perfect prudence or perfect honour in the acquisition of Naples. Some of us may doubt whether Austria or Hungary be iu the right, but no Englishman can doubt that these are questions which Austria and Italy themselves must settle. If you ask me why it is I dwell so song upon this question, it is because that at the present moment there is no Jae point of domestic policy to engage our thoughts, and because I wished to explain that it is the principle of England to refrain from all armed interference, except where her own honour and safety are threatened. In this both parties are agreed. Lord Russell paid a graceful but deserved com pliment to Lord Malineebury, of whom you will permit me to say, as an esteemed colleague of my own, that to a ready and comprehensive know ledge of mankind and the world he unites a manly frankness which is the attribute of moral courage and undeviating honour ; and as Lord Russell has paid that deserved compliment to a oolleague of mine, so it gives me great plumes to say in return that on the whole, to my humble judgment, be has wisely maintained the inte resta of the country, fearlessly asserted her honour, and faithfully repreunted the general opinion of the people of Great Britain. (Cheers.) It is not in Europe alone that great changes have taken place. I recollect a few years ago, when I took the chair here. I brought with me as my guest the distinguished diplomatic representative of the then United States; and many of you will remember the enthusiasm with which bespoke of the kindred ties between us and our brethren in America. At that moment there was pend ing between the two countries one of those irritating questions, in which much was strongly demanded by young Jonathan and mildly conceded by John Bull. She then rejoiced in unity and seeming strength, and I am sure no Englishman will exult over the peep of her separation and the horrois of her civil war. (Hear, hear.) I could not then say what I always felt, that I did not see how any thinking man could conceive that the whole of the Ameri can coutineut could remain nader one government, but that separation must sooner or later take place. I long saw it was inevitable, and I now venture to predict that our young men will lire to see, not two but at least four, and probably a greater number of separate inde pendent communities arising out of the American population. whose legislation has been hitherto directed by a single President, and whose commerce has been defended by a single flog ; and so far from thinking with the Emperor of Russia, that this separation will be injurious to the future development of America, or inflict any blow on the great principle of self government—the only subsistence for free dom—it is my conviction that it will he attended by happy results, to the safety of Europe and to the development of American civilisation. I ask you to reflect on this •, for I am going to say what has not, I think, been said before. Jut reflect, if wealth and population continued to increase in America with the same rapid strides as hitherto, whether it was possible that the whole of that continent with its immense seaboard and the fiesta which its extended ambition would have raised and armed, could long remain under one government with an executive so feeble that it was usable to control an excitable and adventurous population. Wb America would have hung over Europe like anovercharg ed and destructive thunder cloud, for no nation would be able to resist the vigorous demands of a nation able to consolidate the re sources of • continent. But then that unwieldy empire would have been destructive to public freedom and virtue. In the universal experience of history such empires as are too vast for the circulation of the life blood of the people fall to pieces. (Hear, hear.) It was so with the Babylonian and Assyrian empires, des potisms ; and with that of Rome, a republic. The mine fate in later days befell the empire of Charlemagne, and the pieces into which it fell are now the great kingdoms of Europe ; and America could be no exception to the truth of history and the laws of nature. Subdivided, she is less formidable to Europe, leas dangerous to England ; but in the wholesome spirit of competition there is likely to spring up • rivalry between the divided states favourable to the pro grew and intricate of humanity. Prom what I have said you will see lam not one who sees in the separation of America the failure of democracy, for the same thing would have occurred under any form of government, as the 1 states hail no single interest in common. But when we see how liberty and law broke down in the moment of danger and of warfare, nod how printing presets were in vaded by • lawless mob, and legitimate public opinion stifled by government, and bow the President, despairing of his own generals, o ff ered to Garibaldi the command of the Italian patriots— then, without vanity to ourselves and without offence to America, we may say that, in the art of good government, by which liberty is maintained in the midst of danger, America has more to learn from England than England from America. Here, seeing that the band of our august ally lies so restive on the gates of war that they open at his touch, we have not been forgetful of our own safety, and yet we have not departed from the constitutional dislike of large armies in time of peace. We have also greatly strengthened our navy, which was the unceasing care of Lord Derby's go vernment. There was this difference between a navy and an army, that • navy never yet destroyed the liberties it was intended to defend. The volunteers were now so for midable, and so well disciplined in the use of arms, that as the mouse fared in the beehive, so would an invader of Eng land by the stings of their rifles. But beside all this, the mural influence of England has everywhere made itself felt. It enabled Lord Malmesbury and myself to induce the French government to employ the free labour of oegroes ; and alt we have not in arms shared in the emancipation of I ,we have not asked of her either Nice or Savoy ; and if Sardinian government has now the courage to resist say further detn.iuds for the cession of territory, what is it can streugtben her in that resolution unless it be the manner in which England has protested against the boundaries of Hates being regulated by secret compute and family arrangements! The right hon. gentleman concluded his speech with bright anticipa tions of the future greatness of Columbia, a colony which he was proud of having established, and he hoped his name would be associated with its prosperity.

The Official Gazette of to-day publishes a circular addressed by Barou Bleats)li to the Italian con sular agents in reference to the natural resources of Italy. Benin Hialeah says the national flag, to which Venice is still wanting, covers 800,000 tons of ship ping, manned by 100,000 sailors. He reminds the consuls that the international engagements of Sar dinia are the only ones which are valid in Italy, and that the treaties of the former Italian states are to be considered as abolished. Baron Ricasoli further says :—" The consuls have no political duties. They must nevertheless en deavour to exercise their influence according to the views of the government. They must support the policy of the government, which, in aiming at the uidepen...enee and the unity of Italy, wishes to strengthen the peace of Europe ; and which, in disengaging the church from its temporal pre-occu pations, wishes nevertheless to remain devoted to the catholic religion, and to ensure its spiritual in dependence."

(roma wiz own PARIS, WiDNit.DAT EVE:IMM The Pope's health is again a subject of specula tion. According to letters received to-day in Paris, he is confined to his bed, has lately had successive attacks of fever, and suffers much from his chronic erysipelas. His physicians complain that he is not a good patient and forgets that he is " seventy years old." The commutation of the sentence on the gen darme Locatelli, is attributed by the Opinion Na tionale to the influence of General de Goyon, who, seeing the attitude of the population, told his Holiness that he would not be answerable for the consequences of the exqcution. The petition against the French occupation is covered with thousands of signatures in Rome, notwithstanding all the efforts of the police. The legitimist journals daily tell the most auda cious lice about Italy. They represent all the brigands in the Neapolitan states as saints and heroes, and all the soldiers of the King of Italy as assassins and cannibals. The Gazelle de France receives from special correspondents despatches recording the triumphal progress of General Borjes and a mythical Spanish legion, of whose feats of war all the rest of the world is ignorant. These fictions please the high born and religious ladies of Brittany—the subscribers to the Queen of Naples' diamond necklace—for whose especial benefit they are written, and occasionally, when politics aro dull, they amuse newspaper readers in cab* but it is very seldom that anybody taker the trouble to contradict them. The gallant General Foray has, however, done the Gazette de France the honour to address to it the following letter, which puts an extinguisher upon a very ma lignant invention : Cologne, 19th Sept. fiir,—l have been exceedingly surprise& to receive here at Cologne, where I have been sent to witness the MAIIMUTIIIII of the 7th and Bth Promise corps d'armee, n copy of your journal of the 12th, in which I find the following article " A Paris letter in the France Cen trek of Blois says Me movement of reaction in Italy is everywhere most marked, and one of my friends heard General Pony, who wee recently sent to Italy to examine the feeling at the people on the general situation, declare in a drawing-room that al: tho princes who bad lost their thrones are warmly desired by the populations, particularly the Duke of Modena and the Duchess of Parma, and that, if those sovereigns presented themselves at the frontiers of their duchiee,they would be received with acclamation.'" I certalely went to Italy some months back, not to examine the feeling of the people and the general situation, but molesly to revisit with my family the glorious battlefields where, for my pert, I shed some small part of my blood foe Italian isdependeses. On retuning from Italy, and with out even stopping at Paris—where I had not time to go to a drawieuvrooni, Ia which you make me say the very oppo site of my way of thinking—l proceeded to the camp of Chalons.

A French journal lately congratulated the country upon the fact that although the French harvest of 1861 is undoubtedly deficient, the truth had not been kept back from the public, as has been the case in former yews, and that therefore the evil was greatly mitigated, since provision had been made in time to supply the wants of home production by importations. It would appear, however, that the old leaven of conoealment is not yet wholly got rid of, for I read in the Echo Agricole : "For reasons which we cannot explain, the govern ment has ceased, for some months past, to publish the importations and exportations of wheat and flour ; and yet this is the very moment at which commerce has the greatest need of such informa tion." A gentleman sent to China on an agricultural mission by the French government, M. &igloo Simon, has made a valuable report on the flab and fisheries of tha country, and hes also despatched specimens of several kind which he thinks capable of being bred in Europe. He speaks of these in the highest terms, ►nd says that it would not be difficult to select forty or fifty species. worthy of observation. Amoopt others is the Lo-io, or king of fish, clamed as Crenilabrus by Dr. Bridgman, measuring sometimes six or seven feet in length, weighing from ;Albs. to 21101 be., or even more, and said to be equal to the famous salmon of the Rhine.

M.

The Tuscan Monitore of the 22nd gives a fall description of the funeral procession which accompanied the body of the gnat tragic poet G. B. Niamlini to the grave.

This weapon in the hands of such a body of men will render them very formidable. For the peat six months or so drafts of the constabulary have been re gularly sent to England for rifle instruction. They have become, it is understood, excellent marksmen, and it i s believed that the government intend by the aid of these speciellyinstracted officers and constables to render the entire force proficient in the use of their new weapon. A communication from Rome says :—" The diplomatic body was not invited to the marriage of the Neapolitan princess. The ceremony was simply religious. In the discourse which he pronounced on the occasion, the Pope attacked the principle of civil marriages : he said that revolutions are expiatioos, but expressed the hope that the Italian princes will remould their thrones."

SCARBOROUGH AND A BERYHTWITH N BOATS. —The National Lifeboat Institution sent yesterday (Wednesday) one of its best double-banked lifeboate, to gether with a transporting carriage, to Scarborough. The boat is 32 feet long, 8 feet wide, ad rows 10 oars. Her self-righting qualities were fully and satiafactonly tested on Tuesday morning in the Regent's Canal Dock, Limehouse.
