LONDON, TUESDAY,

Ws have all heard of the " Aucs GUT for

heart began to break—and kept on breaking through
several stanzas accompanied by somewhat lugubrious
arms. With no intention of testifying any dim-
mest to the maltitudeof musical young ladies who la

hearts of bee mole acquaintances. Unless she is very
ntsch.belied, the pocket seems to have had ter more

it is that she boasts of having 'staged the also-
time of a reverend divine, and has celebrated
her conquest in a copy of verses. Bet
people are rather incredulous am to the gentle
Aucfs assertions in this matter, and in
gamest entertain the belief that she is in this in-
stance yielding to the pardonable weakness so often
the accompaniment of pains—that d endeavouring
to shine in everything. But the magnitude of her
achievements has affected what her hatinations
of person or conversation could never have done.
She is the centre of attraction to numberless
pining hearts, which are mashed under the
weight of that sympathy which they feel fee the
blighted being, permeated by bigoted laws and a
blundering police. Their hearts are breaking" at
the thought that the interesting object of their
aspirations is incarcerated on the paltry charge
of perjury. The latest accusation against
this heroine of the poliomofflos is to the effect
that by an act of perjury she caused two begs
to be committed to prison for a year for having rafted
her. The generous and lacerated hearts whisk we
have spoken of are indignant that the AL M etibir

prison to visit her, they treasure up maps

dergo any sacrifice to obtain her portrait.
Honest people at Stafford, at Birmingham,
at Wolverhampton, at Chester, and it is to be feared
at numerous other pleas, having no predilections in
favour of false swearing, are maims to secure the
conviction of one whom they believe guilty of perjury
for the basest of purposes ; but the admirers el Mica
revolt from such heartless posmsention. With their

a reflection it mast be to those who boast
of the progress of the nation, to hear that
visitors are flocking from all parts to pay their
respects to the prisoner, and to be present at her
trial. It must be remembered that the wildest dories
of her crimes are current, sad that when an masseur

bringing to light another accusation. For instance,
a northern paper denies the truth of the story which
identifies Mace with the woman who was found
stripped of her clothing on the seauide,deolariog her-
self to be the victim of a grow outrage. But the
denial is grounded on the assertion that Auca at
that time was suffering twelve months' imprison-
ment in Paisley for some " little ecieenteioi-
tiss" in that neighbourhood. But the nag-
minute of the accusation against her is the
charm which attracts. With "no virtue sad a
thousand crimes," she appears an acgsl of light to her
infatuated adores. In the meantime there will be
some difficulty in keeping up the °ham after a lady
