THE •Ftrßypic?..

The lces of the Eurydice within sight of home, with
her precious freight of lives, has sent • thrill throurh-
out England, no such loss having been suffered in the
It ,yal Navy since the foundering of the Captain. The
de-Ulm of the Eurydice catastrophe will be familiar to
all, but a correspondent has placed us in possession of
some interesting facts, in connection with one of chomp
who perished, that seem well worthy of record here.
One of the "first-due boys" who went down in the
vessel, and who was in a few week. of his twenty-
first birthday, wrote home bet September to one of
his brothers, in regard to an accident on board
another yawl, on which he was engaged at the time.
and it is to this letter we allude. It appears that a
shipmate of his met with an awful and sudden death,
and he thus refers to it : "Poor fellow ! little did he
think his time so near. And what an awful death. ,
I do hope he had time to repent of his put wicked-
ness. It will be, I hope, a warning to all of us, and
thank God it has to me already, for it has made me
think more seriously. Where should I expect to
spend eternity if I met with a similar fate? It made
me feel very wretched, for I knew that if it pleased
God to take my life suddenly away I was not
prepared. In this state, then, I was the next evening
after the fatal accident, and whilst promenading on
the forecastle I got in conversation with our aick.boy
steward. The subject was the sad fate of our late
shipmate, when suddenly he a.ited me this question:
' Where do you think you would have spent your
eternity if cut off suddenly like this man?' I was
rather surprised at this question, as it is not often I
meet with a Christian in the service. My conversa-
tion with him made a deep impression on my mind,
and to tell you in short, I did not sleep that night
until I had found peace with God. You, perhaps,
look surprised at my writing thus, but it is true ; and
God has, at last, answered my prayers, for I always
prayed that God, by His mercy, would make me •
tent sinner, so that I might be saved for Jesus
's sake. I shall, most probably, have many
trials and temptations. By God's help I will conquer
I them. I elit.l C.llllllit Illyedi to Him. I could
' dwell a long time on this subject, but time will not
allow; but before I conclude let me ask you is •
brother, Hll/0 you found peace with God? and are
you prepared to die at • moment's notice? In
November he again writes to the same brother from
' the Surydice, urging him to decide for garist ; and
, now he is beneath the sea—Nig/at 011C1 Day.

TRIAL of mARAIRR RACHEL
I At the Central Criminal Court on WednakillYi
before Hr. Baron Fluddieston, Sarah Rachel' reivnr-'
son, who 6.1 hem reminded from last sessions, was
indictod for unlawfully obtaining by false pretences
from Cecilia Maria Pearse two neeltlaoes and other
artless, with intent to defraud. and for stealing the
said article.; and further for demanding with menaces
from the said Cedhia Pears, the said articles, with in-
tent to steal theism..

Pok'd and Mr. Straight appeared for the pro-
a,cution •, awl Nil% Day, C., htr. 13e.ley, and Mr.
It .!..rt Williams for the ptitiner.
. .

Mr. I SlUtl, iiioper.i:ig the else to the jury, said
the loi•olier was c =moldy known
Rachel. and she had a shot,, at the etol of 1876, in
Duke.street, Grosv-nor-square, and was dealing in
perfumery and articles of that description, and she
a-scribed herself SA " Araidas Pedumer to the
Queen." Mrs. Pearse wan an Italian lady, daughter
I.f the celebrated singer, Signor Mario, and VAS
between 23 and 24 years of age. 51r. Pearse, to
...horn she was married, wee a member of the Leaden
Stock Exchange. At the end of 1876 Mrs. Pears*
saw the shop of the defendant, and she went in and
purchased some perfumery, and
from time to time she
spent about 1.70 in article, of that description. At the
beginning of 1877 Mrs. Pearse went ts,Home, and on
her return she (mud that the defendant had changed
her addrese, and that she was then occup.iug SOWS
rooms at 153, Great Portiand-stroet, Oxford-street
She had three rooms, one on the first firm.. in which
the articles of perfumery were k.pt ; then there was •
room adjoining, which seasoned as the defendant's bed
and sitting-room; and there was •third room, occupied
by • servant. The defendant suggested to Ara. Pearse
she should be allowed to enamel her, and she said that,
although the word enamelling war tte.d, it did not
mean enamelling in the onlinary sense; that each
artist had hie own mode of describing his art, and that
she called her process enamelling, but it was, in point
of fare, a pr cees to make the skin pure amid white,
and to inprove the good looks of the persona to whom
the proms.' ISM applied ; and among other things she
said it would make :tire Peone appear as goo.f look-
in; and as well at GO years of age as she was at that
time. In reply, Mr.. Pears* asked the prisoner why
she I lid not apply this valuable process to her own
person, and the defendant replied, "Well, my dear,
you do not know my age. I can do it as far as 60. but
lam 85." Mrs. Pearse, it appeared, was an accom-
plished singer, and the daughter of the defendant, a
Mrs. Turner, was engaged in a concert, which was
being got up In aid of the Turkish Compassionate
Fund. Mrs. Pears* called Mn. Turner, and they
conversed together for some time, Mn. Pears.,
however, did not then know that Mrs. Turner was the
defendant's daughrer ; but ultim ttelY Mrs. Turner,
told her to meet her at 153, Great Portland-street,
and she did so. She then learned who Mrs. Turner
was, and this, combined with the fact that Mrs.
Turner moved in good society, gave Mrs. Pears. con.
Hence in the defendant. Matters went on, and it
appeared that the suggestion with regard to enamelling
having been made. the defendant said her fee was
1,000 guineas, and that she had applied the process to
some ladies of distinction. Mrs. Pearee said that
1.000 guineas was out of the question, and the defend-
ant then put the amount at £2OO. Mn, Pearse upon
thin wrote the following letter:
"Dear Frl-nd—l havesocertainedby theist or middle of
Feliruary I can have the .1:100 Now will con promise me
fadhfully to finish me for that sum! If not, I must,
alas, throw US the whole thing. Please send me a small
pt of cream, for I have very little to last till February.
Please give me an answer, a• yeu can hardly kn ,w what I
hare to do for that sum. If you say frankly you won't, I
most of course Poe what I hsve begun to obtain that
sum. —(Signsd) C.P.S —lf via consent to finish ma for
that Sots I will rive you £lOO the first clay 1 see you and
the other £lOO when you tell me I sin finished. Is that
right
DI course that letter would show the jury that Mrs.
Pearse had not that good, strong common sense with
which it was desirable to he possessed in order to get
wll thr .ugh life, but it must be remembered that she
heel been alarmed and led on by the defendant from
time to time nntill she consented to have the process
performed. The defendant had given her a bottle of
fluid which had produced an eruption on her face.
Mrs Peas-se became alarmed at finding the state her
face was in—her husband had noticed it—and then she
went again to the defendant. At that time she had
not Nuerxrederl in raising the money necessary to pay
for the " firdshing” process, and when she saw the
defendant she sail to her, " Why, your face is in •
dreadful state— don't put anything on it, not even
cold cream. If you touch your face at all, unless I
finish you, you will be disfigured for life." Mrs.
Pearse was seriously alarmed at this, and desirous
that the process should be finished. She accordingly
endeavoured to raise the money through the money-
lender, but failed ; and then the defendant suggested
that she ehould raise money on her jewels, adding
that at that time she had an her possession jewels
belonging to the Countess of Du llcy. Indeed, on one
occasion, a person was seen going upstairs, and the
defendant told Mrs. Pears, she was the maid of the
Countess of Dudley adding that the Countess at the
time was undergoing the process of enamelling.
Ultimately the defendant aireed to finish Mrs. Pears.
for £5O. When she took the jewels the def-ndaut
said." You hail better have a bath." and she gave
her one in the presence of her maid, as part of the
treatment for the rash. That bath was merely hot
water with a little bran put into it. Havazi left the
jewels Mrs. Pearse, on second thonghts, deemed it
undesirable that they should rem tin with the
defendant, and on January 7.. h rhe wrote:

"Dear Its. Le ers .n—Tmnkl .x it M,T. it ig latter you
Dent Ma heck my jet. el.. roe I have seen a man who will
give me the money on Wedneadey, and will bring the £45
I owe you. Pleame do not put them in pawn, se I wish to
do that myself. If you rend the box by the hearer I will
send you the mousy."

The maid took the letter and delivered it, but the
jewel.
were not returned. The defendant pawned the
jewels with Mr. Attenborough on Jan. 9, and made
her mark--she cannot write—to the form of the agree-
ment entered into when they were deposited. Sirs.
Pearce called again upon the defendant, when she
suggested to Mrs. Pearss that she had better write her
a letter, and under her dictation the complainant wrote
the following letter, for the purpose of giving validity
to the deposit of the jewels:

Dear Str—Madame Rachel bas informed me that she has
placed in your care my jewele, of which I have the list and
memorandum, and she also assures me that I can have
them when applying to you within an hour's notice within
six months by forwarding to you the amount (50) which I
authorised her to get. I hops to have about the end of
the mouth the money, and Madame Rachel emu's me of
the cue you will take of them, and also of all secrecy and
the respectability of your firm Address me under cover
here, 153, Great Portland-street.
(Signed) C. IL P."
The defendant actually dictated this letter to Mrs.
Pearse, hut the £5O wee put in by Mr.. Peens, herself
In justification of the amount. The jewels were
pawned on the 9th, and this letter was written on
"turday, Jan. 18. Mrs. Pearse was al., deeirour of
obtaining a memorandum with reference to the £5O,
and the defendant put before her a book which contains
some printed matter and this paiwage :

"And I scree foray Kaduna Rachel for such renovation
and improvement of my personal appearance the &bosu-
n/woe sum of .ClOO, of which I have paid already iSO on
account. (Signed) C. K. Prams.'
This was witnesed by Mrs. Pewee's maid, although
Mrs. Pears. appeared to have been under the impree-
sion that she was signing the memorandum or list of
her jewels, and the receipt of TM obtained on their
deposit. Ultimately Mrs. Pewee told her husband of
the circumstances, but without going into details at
first, He went to the defendant, and demanded every
'crap of her writing and her jewels. The defendant
declined to give them up, and threatened him that
there were matters in connection with his wife which
he would not like to have made public, and that, there-
fore, he had better not stir further in the matter. Mr.
Pease then consulted Mr. George Lewis, and the
defendant was summoned to the Marlborough-street
Polioe.court, from which court she was committed for
triaL The Treasury had since undertaken the prose-
cution. In giving their verdict the jury would have
to consider whether, in their opinion lira Pears*
could have been so foolish as to have been deluded in
the way he had stated; and they must at the same
time, in justice to her, also bear in mind that the
defendant was a clever, crafty woman, who operated
upon the complainant's fears, and by subtle means
deceived her and led her on, until ultimately she
succeeded in getting valuable property from her. They
would also bear in mind that Mrs. Pewee was an
Italian lady, who had been principally educated
abroad. The case must solely and wholly depend
upon the facts and the impressions which were pro-
duced by them upon their minds. Of course there
were circumstances in the case which were ludicrous
in themselves. There were some persons who were so
shrewd and clever that they had nothing to fear from
the acts and devices of crafty persona. On the other
, hand, some people were so foolish that they were
easily d•luded. But under the law of this country all
I persona were entitled to the protection of the law. If
they believed the came to be clearly made out by the
prosecution they would by their verdict say so. If, on
the other had, they thought that the prosecution failed
to make good their case, let them say so by their
verdict.

'Mr..— Cecilia Maria Pearce, examined by Mr.
Straight, said: I am the wife of Mr. Godfrey Purse,
of 40, libury-street, !imlict lam 23 years of me,
and a daughter of Signor Mario. I have resided •
good deal abroad urior to my marriage. I was
married in 1372. In 1276 I was calling frequently
upon a darter who lived near Duke-street, Grosvenor-
equate, and in proceeding along Duke-street I used to
pass a perfumer's shop. There Irma over the shop,
" Arabian Pert umer to the Queen." I went into the
shop, and I there for the first time saw the defendant.
I bought some tooth powder, which she served me
with. I ultimately bought some violet powder.
After I had done this the defendant said she had
something far more harmless than powder, and far
better for my skin. She sadl it was • wash which I
was to throw in my bath, and it wculd cleanse my
skin and keep it an healthy state. She showed me
something in • bottle, and said the contenta came
from the East. The price she asked for the bottle
was EL I hesitated to purchase the bottle at fire.,
not knowing what it was, but on the next occasion
when I went I bought it. After that she told me I
should have to puass some more of the wash, as it
would have to be a process. Altogether I paid I:3 or
£4 for waah. At that time she mentioned to me the
names of certain poisons who were using the wash, to
prove that it waa not paint or anything approsching
to paint. She said, 'DO you know Lady Dudey r
I said I did. She asked me if I thought her painted.
and I replied "N.," She mid Lady Dudley had
used her washes since a child, and that she was
finishing her process with Lady Dudley at thst time.
She said if ever I wanted her to wash me with these
thing', which would be like a Turkish both, I WWI to
write to her sod say " enamelling" or "little
enamelling." She told ins her fee would be 1,000
guineas, and that the proosiee would take some months.
She said • lady who had left the shop had told her
that I was Signor 3Lario's daughter, and I said that
was so She also said she had heard I could sing, as
people bad heard me in society, and that was
, correct. I had noticed a bust in the shop of the great
I Rachel, the tragedienne, and I asked her whether she
was any relation of hers. She said she was. She
I said when I was 60 years of age my complexion would

.!lam tiff."
What took place when you mat Mrs. Turner ?—Ws
be to talk about the concert for the Turkish
Otimpassionate Fund, and she asked me not to
mention to my husband who she wee. My husband
knew I had been invited to ling at the nonoert.
Madame Rachael then said that she had been kicked
up for live years through • conspiracy. and until she
had cleared her name before the public she would
rather I did not mention that I knew her. .She said
she knew of me through Mr. Sullivan and Lady
Coutte-Lindssy.
The concert has never taken place though Madame
Rachel told me she was using her influence to get it
up. I told her that her Nlsjosty had sent • donation
to the fund in aid of my father, and she said she WIMP
not astonished, because it wail through her influence
that her Nlsjeety hal sent it. (Laughter.)
After I had taken the snubss an eruption came out.
That was about the end .4' Dec tuber, 1877. I bad ,
between JUDO and December been occaoionally using
the washes, and I had paid her altogether, I think,
about 40. In buying these washes t certainly
believed the statements she made to me as to the
effect they would have upon me. They were to be
for clearing and cleansing my complexion. I believed
h-r statement that they were u.ed by ladies whose
names she had mentioned. After this rash came out
on my face I went to Medame Rachel, and called her
attention to it.

What did he say I—She said I was in a terrible
state, and that oU the pores of my skin were open,
and that, unless I allowed her to finish her proems at
once, I should be ruined for life. I said I must go to
my doctor. She replied that he could do me no good,
as it was nothing concerning the constitution, but the
skin, and that was her business. She said she had
studied the skin for more than 50 years. and that
doctor, brought ladles to her to be cured of any rash
or marks on the skin and complexion. Consequently
she was the only person who could save me froin being
disfigured. She said, "You Mow my fee is 1,000
guineas, but considering the friendship you have for
my daughter, I will make it £500.'.' I said it was
Impossible, I could not do it. She said." Very well,
you will be sorry in after life, because I warn you
that you are in such a state that even if you put cold
cream or water on your face you will be
That ended that interview, and I went away; but in
consequences of a letter which I received from her I
went to see her, and • sum of £2OO was then
mentioned. She said she could not bear to see me in
the terrible state I was, and that if I would let her
finish the proms* she would take £3OO. She said
Lady Dudley was giving her £l,OOO for the same
thing, and she thought it was worth my while to give
L. In order to carry out what I promised in that
letter I went to several money-lenders for the purpose
of raising the money, and I found I could not get it
without my hmband's signature. Failing to get the
money I wrote a letter to the defendant, in which I
amid r could only pay £5O. I sent the letter b my
Italian maid, and the maid brought back a message
that I was to go and see idadame RacheL I went,
accompanied by the maid, and in that conversation
Madame Rachel began to mak whether I could not in
some way give her the £2OO. I said no. She suggested
that I should draw the sum from my father's account
at.Couida's.
_ . .

I-id:lrd you say to that?—l said it would be rob-
bing my father, and I got up to leave the room.
What did she say when you used the word robbidg ?
—She said I used too strong a term ; and after talking
a little further she said she would do it for £3O. I said
even then I did not know how I would manage it un-
less I pledgesi my jewels.
What did she say upon that 7—She said she had
jewels in the next room which would astonish me, and
that they were brought to her by Lady Dudley's teakL
She said there had been a reward of £l,OOO offered for
them. and they oonsisted of diamonds as big as her
thumb.

_
On Thursday the trial was concluded. The jury
retired at six p.m. to consider their verdict, and atar
an absence of ten minutes returned into Court with a
verdict of Guilty.
The prisoner upon this commenced • long rambling
statement to the effect that she had been convicted in
1868 or 1868 on a most monstrous charge of obtaining
from Ifn. /3orrodale £l,OOO. After her conviction,
while in MilWank Prison, that lady came to the
prison with an order from the Home Secretary, to say
that the prisoner had been the victim of a malicious
tion and that after her conviction Mr. George
prosecution,
obtained £l,lOO of that money, and
sit, the solicitor who was mixed op with the
detective case, had had the rest.
The Judge then passed sentence of five years' penal
servitude.

Did she say what the 'rake of them was ?—Yes;
£IOOO. The matter ended there, and I left. As I was
going down stairs there was a woman coming up.
Madame Rachel called out to me, "That is Lady Dud-
ley:a maid."

INCITING TO A DUEL.
At Lewes, Malcolm Fraser, formerly an officer in
the Royal Sasses Artillery Militia, has been brought
before the Quarter Sessions, for having, in a letter,
incited Francis Barry Whitfeld to fight • duel.
The presecutor lived hi All Saints, Lewes, and wee
*raker. The p. caseation was not undertaken simply
for the purpose of frightening the defendant. It was
intended to prosecute the case to the end The letter
which was the ground of the present indictment was
now handed in. It MY dated .4.pril & The prisoner
was formerly an officer in the Sussex Militia Artillery,
stationed at Lewes. He was introducedtcTleZ.
Whitfeld's family, and eeemed to have formed an
attachment to Miss Edith Wkitfeld, sister to the
prosecutor. That tiourtehip was conducted in a
clandestine manner. It was pa slated in by the
•ismer. When it came to the knowledge of Mr.
Whitield he endeavoured to put a stop to it by
expressing his serious disapproval. This, however,
was no sufficient bar to the prisoner's communication
with Mies Whitfeld. The correspondence was kept
up on the prisoner's pert by all sorts of diegisosful
clandestine means. Once the prisoner disguised him-
self as • country labourer, and thus endeavoured to get
an interview with Miss Whitfeld, who was etaying in
the country. On that occasion his behaviour was such
that he was apprehended. (The prisoner denied this
statement) A letter which had come for Miss Whit-
feld, addressed in the prisoner's handwriting, and
which had fallen into her father's hands, had been
' written by the prisoner after his marriage. At the
time that the prisoner had been carrying on the
correspondence with Miss Whitfeld he had been
assxdated with the daughter of an innkeeper st the
Star Hotel, at Lewes, to whom he was married in
June, I 87& (Marriage certificate put in.) The wife
was still living, hut, it was said, was parted from the
poisoner. It might be charitably thought the prisoner
was out of his mind, but that the deliberate and
persistent manner in which he had acted forbade the
conclusion. Even in his letters he stated that he wee
married, and yet asked Mims Whitfeld to come away
with him. For three years Mr. Whideld's family had
been persecuted by the primmer. Spies had been
employed by him, and wherever Miss Whitfeld went
he was sure to follow her. The letter was dated
January M. 1877. The prisonerthere said," If I send
you a £lO note, should you be able to change it? Can
you make any use of your maid If we can only
enlist her it will be • great help." There were many
invitations in that letter to Miss Whitfeld to go away
with the prisoner, who wound up with words &Doering
the violent and uncontrolled passions of the man: "I
call God to witness I would rather see you dead, killed
by my own hand, than beliese for one moment that
you (sailed to love ma" On April 6 the prisoner wrote
to Mr. Whitfeld, ben., asking him to let him see his
daughter for an hour, as he would only take dismissal
from her lips. Only yesterday (Tuesday) he sent •
letter to Hammy, addressed to Miss Whitfeld, asking
her to come away with him. Fortunately this fell
into her father's hands. What had been read would
doabtlemly be sufficient to induce the magistr tee to
put the prisoner under substantial recogingtances.
The prisoner wished to ask the persecutor whether
he believed he stood in danger of his life, and whether
• vindictive feeling did not enter into the course
, taken, but these questions were irregular and remained
unanswered.

On the day following, which was Saturday, I went
to Great Portland-street about twelve o'clock, taking
my jewels with me. Most of them had belonged to
my mother. I saw Madame Rachel, and said, "I
have brought you these jewels to show y.. 0 that later
I will bring you the LO." She said, " Very well;
they are in trustworthy hinds. You are still in •
terrible state, for the rash is still on you."
She had previously refused to do anything until she
said I bad better have the bath there and then.
I did, in the presence of my maid, and then dressed
and went away, leaving my jewellem I asked her for
• receipt for the £.lO she had received for my jewellery.
She did not give it to me, but she opened • book with
printed forms in it, and she placed that before me,
and told me to fill up the blanks. I objected to the
printed part, but she said it did not matter, as it was
only a receipt she kept for herself, and no one saw it.
Upon that I signed it. I was going to put down £5O,
when she said "Put £200" I replied, " No; we
have arranged for 250." She then asked me if in
yearn to come I would give her another £5O, as .he
considered 250 very little. I said I would. She gave
me no receipt of hers for the £5O, but said she would
send it in the afternoon. As it did not come I sent
my maid for it, but she could not obtain it, and re-
turned without it. That night I told my husband
what had occurred. I had not told him anything
about the matter before. At that time I had remain-
ing with me some of the wash I had bought of Madame
Rachel, and that I handed to my hasband, whp got it
analysed.

Cross-examined by Mr. Day, qc.: I have been
under ordinary medical treatment for nearly four
years. I saw my doctor professionally, when in
Londm, about once a fortnight. In December, 1876,
I warn living in Pimlico, and my doctor lived In the
neighbourhood of Groayenor-square. It was not quite
in my way to paas the defendant's shop.
Had you ever heard of itadscae Rachel did not
associate with her any otner person than that of
Madame Rachel. the great tragidienne.
Rut you did not buy tooth-powder of her because you
thought she was connected with the great tragndienni?
(Laughter.)-1 bouJit the tooth-powder in the ordi-
nary way, and I did not find it more efficacious than
ordinary tooth-powder, bought elsewhere.
What was the violet-powder for? (Laughter,)—lt
was to put on after washing or • bath
Were you once stopping in Shropshire ; tit
Market Drayton.
Were you not told there that you were quite lovely!
—My friends said so, Madame Rachel gave me some
powder to put on my face, neck, and arms, and she
said I warn to write and. tall her what effect it produced
at the ball to which I waa going.
Were you rather short of money at that time ?—I
was not,

Did you owe liladame Rachel money in December,
1876?—Most likely, and I was frequently writing to
her.

number of communications were here put in and
read, some of which were
_in French. There was
• letter dated January 5, 1877, bearing the initials
"C.M.P." to Madame Rachel, which said, "I am so
eorry to hear you have been ill, and I waited outside
vow door the other day three-quarters of an hour in
vain, but I hope you will be able to finish me on
Thursday. (Laughter.) I will be at your door at
half-past ten, so you are not there that means you
are still ill. I will come away, but hope that will not
be the case." The letter of January 23rd was as
follow,:

"Tuesday.
"Deer M. Rachel—l am so 'Wry YOU are still unable to
move, I have to go away to-morrow till the 30th. Do you
think you will be well enough to see toe on Wednesday

(Laughter.) Thu letter bore the London postmark,
January 23rd, 1877.]
When you wrote to Madame Rachel from Luton,
you were anxious to see her to get more wash 2—l dare
say I was.
The following letter was also put in and read :
" Luton. January 10. IBM
