PRINCE LOUIS NAPOLEONS SWORD.
Pe W V Mew.
_ _ .

Sir, -Oa Jane 4th. fOt-ar dare before the battle of Ulundi,
Gateway° lent messengers to Lord Chelmaford with the
sword worn by Prince Louis Napoleon wiles he was killed
by the Zulu. The letter scoompanying the sword, Mated
that Getaway° returned it because he understood that I t
belonged to an English Prince. Cruiosity hag naturelly
been excited as to tha circumstances which induced the
Zulu King to restore this weapon. I now learn that when
two Zulu meesengers, Bahian and Nkisimane were at ,
Pietermaritzburg in the early part of Jame. the Bishop of •
Natal inked General Clifford's permission to forward
through them • merenge to Cetewwro, requesting him to
semi in the Prince's sword. The General replied that,
whatever his personal feelinge ought be, he wae under
orders which would prevent ham fros allowing the Bishop
to see the meeseagera. In the meanwhile, Mr. F. K
Coleus° had, without his father's Knowledge, employed
hie waive warrant to communicate on the subject with
the two Zulus ; and they readily promised that on their
return to Ulundi they would oak the King to tilZersa
the sword without delay. Thies =yy men
promise, with the result which is known.
The Bishop. in a letter which I he mut received hens
him, says .-0, It is plain, from the bravery which the
Sulam dieplaved on July eth, that the sword was not sent
In on June 20:h through any fear el Lard Chelmsford,
but simply from Categrayo's desire to comply with the
request sent to him, showing himself thereby not the ,•

the determined to open her grief to the eloquent
preacher. To his honour, be it said, that after
answering the first later and upon the receipt of •

In forming • judgment of his conduct. Our family must
he considered to have consented sod approved of this
friendship because when relatives give a tacit content
they virtually approve, and no member of the family
interfered or objected. Their opinion was not asked, nor
was it volunteered. I may, however, say that mr-_toother
and myself, though we had no dislike to Mr. Newman
Hall, whom we only knew by public reputation, viewed
with regret my sister Mary's conduct. We thought it a
pity and • mistake to seek that spiritual comfort and
religions direction from • Noncoeformist minister, how-
ever excellent and eminent, which she could have
obtained from some discreet and learned minister of
God's word and sacraments within ths pale of the Church
, of England, the Church of bar fathers, the Church which
was her birthright. Am time wore on, however, and we
perceived how great a pleasure and apparent advantage
my sister derived from her friendship and correspondence
With Mr. Hall, the annoyance which my mother and
myself felt and expressed in private one to another,
diminished, and finally died away. A word upon the
fact of their correspendimcs being carried on in cypher.
Mr. Newman Hall was a very busy man; he was
master of shorthand, and be soon found that a volumin.
one correspondence (they wrote once a week to each
other and at length) upon all sort, of topics —religious,
literary, and artistic—teade too great a demand upon
his time; he sfierefore sent an alphabet, with directions,
to my sister, who presently became nearly as proficient
as Mr. Hell hiumeU in his rapid and ready method of
sinking. This was perfectly well known to all of us
—there was no menu about it. The resale for it was
given accepted, and deemed sufacimit. When Mary
visited at Mr. Hall's she did so at the invitation of
Mrs. Hell herself; Indeed, Mrs. Newman Hall was the
last person to permit any lady to visit at her house
without her invitation ; nor would my Meter for
a moment have taken so great • liberty, even had Mrs.
Hell been • very different person from what she was.
'With regard to the letter which Mrs. Newman Hall raked
the COOrt to believe she had intercepted, and which she
said she had for very shame destroyed, at the time she
. received this letter. Mr. Weston, our I wail, medical man
at Stafford. received • letter wended for Mrs. Hall,
which he at once returned to n!y sister, saying, in an
accompanying note, that if Mrs. Hall were • woman and
a lady, she would restore the letter mis-sent to her. This
letter was written by my sister to her medical man, and
intended for his eye aloe; this letter Mrs. Hall never
returned, but swore the had destroyed, sad therefore
could not produce, and than founded upon an absent
document • malignant and foul attack on my sister's
honour. Mr. Weston was In t, and ready to be ex-
amined, but when the counter-clurp had served its turn
it was absolutely withdrawn, and therefore the petitioner
was unable to call evidence to rebut it The jury were
Instructed 'to regard it as though it had never been

Wyatt and Newman Hall ceased. Her visits at Kr.
