LONDON, FRIDAY, JAN. 29, 1864.

Baring the last few days all sorts of ridiculous
rumours have been afloat—particularly in the
region of some of the West-end Clubs—as to
Ministerial changes, so sudden and startling of
their kind as to augur (supposing them
proved to have been founded in any way upon
fact) the early dissolution of a naturally weak and
tottering Government. Very recently the favourite
report of this kind, bandied atout, like the lightest,
feathery shuttlecock of a canard, was to the effect
that the Duke of NEWCASTLE, by reason of his
shattered health, would be cc nstrained to retire from
Ma position as Secretary of Stata for the
Colonies. A post thereupon it was intimated
to be awarded to the now Postmaster-
General, Lord STANLEY of ALDERLEY, absurdly
called by one of the French newspapers, on the
echoing of this silly report on the other side of the
Channel, "M. STANLEY, barn at Alderney." Still
more recently, however, when that minor canard
bad been relegated to the limbo of such frivolities
in the way of political rumours, an earlier rumour
still was revived with all kinds of circumstantiality
in support of it. Earl RUSSELL, so the whisp3r
ran, bad resigned ! Not—was going to resign :
hut—actually had resigned. The noble lord was
rumoured to have been to the Palace at Osborne.
The Court Circular indeed, had, according
to cus-
tom, announced that ceremonial visit of the Foreign
Secretary. Lord RUSSELL had been to Osborne
and—had returned from it ! Certainly, a very
amazing circumstance in itself—that he should have
returned from Osborne at all' seeing that, of course,
every one must have looked upon him, from the
momsnt of his arrival there, as fixture ! From

such " trivial things," howbeit, do arise, from
time to time, the "mighty contexts" of
these canards about the strength or weak-
ness of Governments. This rumour, never-
theless, of Lord RUSSELL'S sudden resignation
it ought at once to be acknowledged, rested not
alone upon that flimsy foundation as to his visit to
Osborne and his return thence to London. The
suspicious circumstance about it, according to every
more one open-mouthed gobemouche was this—that
hardly had Lord RUSSELL left Osborne when Lord
DERBY was invited thither by the QUEEN, or
rather, it should be said, in courtlier phraseology,
went thither in obedience to her Majesty's com-
mands. Hence the club rumour as to Earl Rus.
SELL'S retirement, as to the jeopardy in which the
Cabinet was said to be, immediately upon the eve of
the meeting of Parliament. All which part of the
story the Premier's own organ, the Morning Post of
to-day hesitates not to pronounce at once, quite dis-
tinctly, in two words, " pure nonsense." Nay, says
our contemporary, with an air of good humour,
that bespeaks its own confidence in the "situation,"
—" There is no crisis, the Cabinet is acting in per-
fect harmony, and the Ministry is ' as well as can
be expected.'" Simultaneously, however, as ill-
luck would have it, the Morning Herald also of
this very morning, in the very first words of its
first leading article, comes out with the point-blank
announcement, " Earl RUSSELL has resigned."
Thereupon—we can hardly say, chaunting his
Dirge or pronouncing his political oraison
funebre, but at any rate—estimating the
worth of his lordship's career, now t hat it is
imagined to be closed, for such as it may be sup-
posed to be worth in the Morning Herald's estima-
tion ! The fact being, all the while, that Earl
RUSSELL has not resigned: at any rate—as yet!
That, in fact, according to the Post's solemn asseve-
ration, there is no crisis of any kind in regard to the
Cabinet of Lord PALMERSTON! Cannot, however,
the truth of it all, we are fain to ask, be recognised at
once very easily ? The truth, we mean, in reference
to the real significance of these rumours about the
Foreign Secretary and about the Noble Earl the
Leader of Her MAJESTY'S Opposition ? What
loyal subject of the Crown is there, but must
have long since recognized, with an almost pain-
fully vivid recognition, the exquisite difficulty of
the position, personal and dynastic, in which
our beloved QUEEN is now placed, by reason of the
increasing complication of that miserable Schles-
wig-Holstein Difficulty, the more and more immi-
nent probability of the settlement of which by the
supreme arbitrament of war is bringing everyday
more directly into antagonism the confronting forces
of the Danes and the Prussians.

The hon. members for Birmingham have been
again addressing their constituents, at the half•
yearly meeting of the Birmingham Chamber of
Commerce, which was held. yesterday evening_
Political subjects being strictly prohibited, the dis-
courses were calm and business-like, even Mr.
BRIGHT being reduced for the occasion into un-
accustomed and temporary quiescence and urbanity.
Among other matters of commercial interest the law
of Patents was brought under consideration, some
revision of its enactments being strongly advised.
In alluding to the restrictive, but often wholly in-
effectual, working of its prohibitory clauses, Mr.
BRIGHT went so far as to remark, and there are
many who will agree with him,—" I am not very
much alarmed at the prospect of the total abolition
of patents ; and I am not sure, after my experience,
which I am sorry to say has been considerable, that
the public would not lose anything by the aboli-
tion ; and looking at all that is won and lost by
inventions among inventors, I am not certain that
the inventors would lose if there were no patents at
all." Without, however, adopting such a sweeping
course as that of a total abolition of the law, it is
certain that that law might be very greatly and bene-
ficially amended. Some of Mr. BRIGHT's suggestions
to this effect are extremely judicious, and the sub-
ject is certainly one well worthy of attention. The
petty restrictions upon various practical improve-
ments in trade and manufactures effected by this
prohibitory law, failing to carry out the protective
benefit for which it was intended, are so generally
recognised as to require little additional enforce-
ment. At the conclusion of his speech Mr. BRIGHT
with a certain degree of truth alluded to the ob-
structive influence exercised by the Government in
impeding the passing of any private bill
of any independent member. "My hon.
friend Mr. SCHOLEFIELD has said," he re-
marked, " that some persons may blame him
for having been dilatory in pressing forward the
Partnership Law Amendment Bill, which he had
charge of last session in the House of Commons.
Now, although you may have read a great deal of
the labours of a mythical person of olden times, who
was called HERCULES, the labours of that individual
were as nothing compared with the labours of pass-
ing through Parliament a bill, however useful,
however undeniable its claims on the attention of
the House, if it does not happen that all the gen-
tlemen on the Treasury bench are interested in
getting it through. If Government have a measure
of their own to pass, then they are very energetic,
and keep everybody there till two o'clock in the
morning until it passes. But, without influence, it
is to me a marvel positively inexplicable how any
single bill good for anything whatever is ever got
through that House by any member who has not
the whole power of the Government to back him."
In taking leave of his audience Mr. BRIGHT
thanked them for their attention. He said that he had
come to the meeting with a painful sense that every
thing that could be remarked on the questions under
consideration was familiar to all of his hearers,
" indeed that many of these subjects were more
familiar to you than to me." Hence the unusual and
unnatural calm sobriety of manner and quiet sugges-
tiveness of arguments that must have disappointed
many who came to listen to the stormy eloquence
of the special assailant of the Press. Look upon
this picture and on this. How different is Mr.
BRIGHT at the Chamber of Commerce on Thursday,
discoursing on subjects on which he modestly avows
his comparative ignorance, and Mr. BRIGHT in the
Town Hall on Tuesday, laying down the law in
matters of the highest social importance, in which
he boldly and presumptuously considers his own
ipse dixit of more weight and authority than the
judgment of wisdom and the experience of ages.

The three justices of the county of Darbyshiro
who signed the certificate of ToWNLEY'S insanity
have replied to the communication of the Home

Secretary, requiring them to give an account of
their proceedings. These gentlemen have, as
might have been expected, returned plain straight-
forward statements, indignantly repudiating one
and all of the imputations that was implied in
the complaint of the other Derbyshire magistrates,
that pecuniary influence had brought about the
reprieve of the convict. We are glad that the
replies have been so prompt and so explicit, not
for the sake of the gentlemen whose conduct has
been called in question in many quarters, but
likewise to show the necessity for a general super-
vision of the statutes, in order to expunge all
obsolete and bygone enactments. Mr. W. I. Cox,
J.P. for the county and borough of Derby, in a
rather elaborate but most comprehensive etate-

ment, explains to Sir G. GREY for what reasons,
and at whose instigation, he took upon himself
the onerous and thankless task of inquiring into
the sanity of the condemned criminal. From his
statement, which is generally corroborated by the
other magistrates, Mr. THOMAS ROE, the Mayor,
Mr. T. B. FIRMIN, and Mr. HUGH SCOTT, it ap-
pears that the prime agent in bringing about the
examination was the solicitor for the supposed
lunatic. That this gentleman was doing his best
for his client, is comprehensible enough, but it
is by no means so plain that gentlemen, bolding
responsible situations under the Secretary of State
for the Home Department, should allow them-
selves to be guided, and in fact directed, by one
who, however unimpeachable in rectitude, could
not legally be a fit person to select, at his own
discretion, the judges who were to arbitrate on the
sanity of his client. Mr. Cox observes that on the
evening of December 25 Mr. LEECH called upon
him, and after explaining to him that an Act of
Parliament provided that, on a certificate of a pri-
soner's insanity being signed by two justices of the
peace and two medical men the Secretary of State
should have power to respite such prisoner, requested
him to make a judicial inquiry into TOWNLEY'S
state of mind. Upon these representations Mr.
Cox, believing it to be his duty, consented to enter
upon the inquiry. When, however, he and the
other justices arrived at the gaol, they found the
Lunacy Commission appointed by the Secretary of
State were then examining the prisoner, and they
therefore deferred their visit until the next day.
While we do not in any way impute to these gen-
tlemen any wilful dereliction of duty, we cannot
but express our surprise that they should have been
thus induced to thrust themselves forward and
arrogate to themselves a jurisdiction superior to
that of the Lunacy Commissioners and of the Home
Secretary. The statute under which they acted
expressly states that on a certificate of a prisoner's
insanity being signed by two justices of the peace
and two medical men the Secretary of State should
have the power to respite such prisoner, but the
law thus laid down does not compel any magistrate
to sign such a certificate unless he be called upon
so to do in the ordinary discharge of his duties, and
it certainly was more the duty of the visiting jus-

tices to investigate this case than that of Mr. Cox
and his coadjutors. If these gentlemen had the
power to supersede the decision of the Lunacy
Commission, was it not a farce to set that Commis-
sion in motion ? It is curious to remark, too, that
with all their anxiety to do their duty, these jus-
tices did not take the same view of the meaning of
the act. While Mr. Cox believed that Sir G. GREY
had no option but to act upon their decree, Mr.
HUGH SCOTT thought that in signing the certificate
he was only, as it were, giving his opinion on the
state of mind of the prisoner for the guidance of the
right hon. baronet. He distinctly states that when
he signed the certificate, on Dec. 29, of the insanity
of GEORGE TOWNLEY he was unaware of its effect
as regarded its obligation on Sir G. GREY. There
can be little doubt that this absurd statute will be
at once repealed, but there is a further step which
ought to be taken by the Government, which
is that county magistrates should be furnished
with a code of instructions for their guidance in
cases of difficulty, and be directed when in doubt as
to what course to pursue to seek advice from head-
quarters. That TOWNLEY was sane when he mur-
dered Miss GOODWIN nobody denies. That his
intellect, naturally weak, was afterwards affected,
is possible. Under such circumstances no one would
desire that he should be hanged, but the investiga-
tion ought to have been made by duly appointed
persons, not by a self-constituted tribunal, at the
instigation of the prisoner's solicitor. We grant
the Justices concerned in this unfortunate case every
credit for their desire to act with impartiality, but
we cannot excuse them at all, and we consider that

the other justices were perfectly right, when they
memorialised the dome Secretary on the subject.
As regards the unfortunate convict, whether rightly
or wrongly respited, he cannot of course now be
hanged, but he has been convicted of a cold-
blooded murder, committed while in a sane state
of mind. He was therkfore amenable for his crime,
and his after insanity, if it existed, might have
mitigated, but it could not have removed the
penalty. If he was insane it might no doubt be
only a temporary attack, and in that case, on his
recovery he should be removed from Bethlehem to
a convict prison. If we are to believe all that is
asserted about the insanity of individuals, few
people could be considered sane. Since the time
of JUNIUS BRUTUS, it has been convenient for
many persons to show madness ; but it is for
society to decide how far they are responsible for
their acts,

The career of a soldier of fortune is frequently
marked by the strangest vicissitudes. The fate of
war is always uncertain, and its issues often fail to
realise the most carefulcalculations. Too often the
commander of an expedition, naval or military, is
judged by its results rather than by his merits.
The mere fact of success or failure is looked at, not
the obstacles in the way, or the various collateral
circumstances that may have helped or hindered
the achievement. " Success is virtue and misfor-
tune blame" in this as in many other cases ; but if
this is true of a duly appointed authority, sur-
rounded by officials of every degree, and acting
mainly on instructions from home, it is much more
so of those leaders whose peculiar position deprives
them of all adventitious aid, and, while it allows
them to claim success as the reward of their indivi-
dual merits, leaves the responsibility of failure to
fall upon them with crushing weight. One day
they are powerful and respected—the next they
are fallen and friendless, obtaining but scant recog-
nition of their former services. In our own day we
have seen the vicissitudes incidental to the most
brilliant and daring career of this kind illustrated
by the conqueror of Naples and the hermit of Ca-
prera. The wars in the East have given an oppor-
tunity to adventurous spirits, which they have
not been slow to take advantage of, although the
wheel of Fortune has gone round rather in ac-
cordance with the caprice of Eastern suspicion than
with the justice of their claims. We all know the
disappointment that awaited Captain SHERARD
OSBORN, R.N., in his endeavours to reorganise
the Chinese Imperial Navy, although that officer,
from his position, and the fact of his having en-
gaged in the affair with the express sanction of his
own Government, was differently situated from a
casual adventurer. We learn, however, by the
news just received, that Mr. LAY, the civil coadju-
tor o Captain Ossomv, is no longer at bis post of
Inspector of the Chinese Imperial Navy, though
whether he has resigned it in disgust at the failure
of the project of a steam fleet, or been dis-
missed by the same inconsistency that frus-
trated the schemes of Captain OSBORN, is not at
present known. Such conduct on the part of the
Imperialists is the more remarkable as they have
been so much indebted to the aid of civilised
men, whether European or American, who have
been able to take the lead, to organise men and
plan expeditions to which the native mind was quite
unequal. Yet, although apparently sensible in
some degree of the advantages of securing such
leaders. The Imperial Government are going the
way to disgust them with their service by their

inconsistency and ingratitude. The last mail
brought us the particulars of Captain OSBORN'S re-
fusal to submit to the terms proposed by Prince
RUNG in direct contravention of the previous
agreement ; this time we have the account of
a still more unsatisfactory conclusion, prolonged
and arduous, if less high principled labours.
The career of the American BURGEVINE, though
less known in England than in China, is singular
and interesting. It is but three years since
the man whose presence in the country was lately
agitating the Chinese and disturbing the Consuls,
arrived in Shanghai in no higher capacity than
second mate of an American ship. He began his
warlike doings by joining the band which -Warp
was forming for au attaek upon Soonking. The
attempt was successful and was followed by another
upon Tsing-pco which foiled, and at which BURGE-
VINE received a severe vound, which caused him
much subsequent suffering. The foreign authori-
ties never interposed to prevent a body of foreigners
from joining either part:, and WARD was compelled
to disband his force. BLRGETINE, who is evidently
a man of daring and ahlity, suggested the enrol-
ment of a body of disciplined Chinese under a
European head. This scheme being approved on
all sides, was successfully carried oat, and met with
no reverses until its commander's death in the
autumn of 1862. He was succeeded by BURGEVINE,
who during three brief months of power raised the
small ill supplied band :o 5,000 well armed and well
equipped men. An expedition to Nanking cost
BURGEVINE his position, and he had no sooner
left the force than it rapidly decreased
both in numbers and efficiency. BURGE-
VINE went twice tc Pekin to obtain his re-
instatement as commander, but in vain. The first
time he was well received, the second he was ar-
rested, threatened'with death, and only released at
the intervention of the Foreign Ministers. It is
not surprising to find that such treatment infuriated
a man who was conscious of having rendered great
services, and who must naturally have been of an
ambitions and ardent nature. Fired most probably
with a desire for revenge, he opened negotiations
with the rebels, and arranged to superintend the
drilling and equipment of a body of Chinese, after
the European method. He started for Soochow,
capturing a vessel on his way, and, after an inter-
view with CHUNG WANG, was made second in com-
mand of the rebel forces. Money was advanced for
the purchase of arms at Shanghai, but delays arose
from the difficulty of transmitting them. The rebels
grow suspieious, and refused to pay the foreigners
their wages. BURGEVINE'S health failed, and the
stimulants to which he resorted to deaden the pain
of his still unhealed wound only aggravated mat-
ters. The end of the drama was the secession of the
whole contingent to the Imperialists, and the ex-
pulsion of BURGEVINE from China. The adventurer,
who is evidently well fitted to take a prominent
part in the struggle, who had already done much
to serve the Imperialists, and who, with an incon-
sistency that was, under the circumstances, scarcely
surprising, was preparing to do as much for their
enemies, has been driven out of China poorer in
means than when he first began his daring career,
and doubly poor in having his health seriously im-
paired, his mind soured by the struggle. Such are
some of the contingencies which the soldier of for-
tune must set against a rapid elevation and the
chance of fame and fortune. But it is certainly
unfair that a man who has a claim on the authori-
ties for £B,OOO should be dismissed the country
penniless. It i 3, of course, an affair with which the
English officials have no concern, but it would
scarcely exceed the duty of the American Consul,
who has shown himself so active in procuring the
extradition of BURGEVINE, to make some remon-
strance on the subject. Meanwhile, men of spirit
and capacity had better pause before they expend
their energies on behalr of a Government which
repays their efforts with neglect and suspicion.

TERRIBLE CALAMITY IN CHILL

(REUTER'S TELEGRAMS.)
2,000 LADIES BURNED TO DEATH.

SOU I'HAMPTON, JAN. 29.

The mailfsteamship Atrato, which arrived here
this morning, brings intelligence of a most terrible
calamity at Santiago the capital of Chili.
On the evening of the Bth December, over three
thousand ladies and several hundred men had
crowded into the Cathedral of La Campania. The
young and belonged to the
ladieshigher wereelae lyeeemeofstthe
capital. 20,000 lights in long
festoons filled the church, which was also hung
with drapery of every description, the entire
building, more especially about the altar, being a
perfect sea of muslin dresses and illumination. The
service had hardly commenced when the crescent of
lights at the foot of the image of the Virgin over the
altar communicated fire to the drapery. The fire
spread rapidly to all parts of the building, and a
terrible scene of horror ensued.

Vv
The congregation endeavoured to escape by the
door, which was blocked up by the multitude out-
side. Most of the men escaped, but the ladies fell
in all directions, their arms were wrenched from
their bodies, and the passage became a crushed heap
of mangled bodies. From the roof a rain of liquid
fire poured on the people below, and in 15 minutes
upwards of 2,000 ladies were blackened corpses,
mostly of the richest families in Santiago.
Upwards of two hundred cartloads of burned
corpses were removed from the ruins.

Shakspere Tercentenary, Stratford-

on-Avon.

On Wednesday, at the meeting of the committee, in the
absence of Mr. Flower, the mayor, the Rev. Granville
Granville, the vicar, took the chair.
It was resolved that arrangements should immediately
be made for advertising in London on a large scale, for col-
lecting subscriptions, and for opening in a central part of
London an office for the sale of tickets.
Report was made of the progress of the pavilion. It is
a large and substantial building of wood and iron, covering
an acre of ground, and raised on a foundation of solid
masonry. Its diameter is 170 feet. Fourteen thousand
cubic feet of timber, braced with upwards of 10 tons of iron,
have been used in its construction. It is capable of seating
5,000 people.
It was further reported that Mr. Alfred Tennyson,
Poet •Laureate,
as consented to join the Committee of
Taste.
The following gentlemen have been added to the list of
vice-presidents Tom Taylor, Mr. Shirley Brooks,
the Duke of Manchester, the Earl of Lichfield, Professor
Nicol, Glasgow; the Right Hon. Thomas O'Hagan, Q.C.,
M.P. ; Mr. J. 0. Jaffrey, Rev. H. W. Croskey, Glasgow ;
Mr. J. Herbert Stack, and Mr. Joseph Ellis, Brighton.

MADEMOISELLE TITIENS.—This accomplished
singer has lately been charming the citizens of
Hamburg, who claim her as a native of the city; and on
Saturday evening last she took farewell of her townsmen in
the character of Norma, previous to starting for Paris and
Marseilles. Although Madlle. Titiens's voice was some-
what afEcted by the recent severely cold weather at Ham-
burg, the performance was in every respect most satisfac-
tory, and au °vet fbwing audience, brimful of enthusiasm,
loudly expressed the delight they experienced.

Mr. Thornbury's New Novel,

Wildfire, By Walter Thornbury, Three Vols.
Hurst and Blackett.
"Wildfire" is a well selected title for a story,
meant to depict the rapid spread of Democratic fury,
and still further to exemplify the horrors which
heralded in the first great French revolution. The
scene of Mr.Thornbury's novel is laid partly in Paris,
where we are introduced in a very dramatic manner
to some of the principal characters in the story—
namely, Carnet, Deszannettes, and Victor Beau-
jolais, three fellow students, with Rameau, an
ambulant musician, the most interesting and im-
portant agent in carrying out the plot. Carnet and
Deszannettes are warm hearted and noble minded
young men, although out and out supporters of the
specious doctrines of liberty, equality, fraternity.
They soon, however, find, when employed in carrying
out the principles which they profess, that plunder
and the gratification of private revenge are the
motives which actuate the base persons who,
mounting to political power by pandering to the
passions of an ignorant and debaeed populace,
practise the most wholesale and unheard of cruel-
ties on all classes subject to their ruthless sway.
Disgusted with the brutal conduct of Robespierre
and his satellites, they endeavour to stem the tide
of his grinding tyranny—but being, like the other
Girondins, too timid in their measures, and too slow
in their movements, they let slip the favourable mo-
ment for action, and become the victims of the system
which they themselves aided to establish. Both are
condemned to death, and one of them (Carnet)
perishes on the scaffold. The third of the characters
presented to us in the Palais Royal is Victor Beau-
jolais, a moderate Royalist, and lieutenant in the
43d Regiment, of which his father is colonel. Gen.
Beaujolais comes from Avignon, where he com-
mands, to Paris, accompanied by his daughter
Violette, and a certain constitution-framing Abbe,
a diminutive model of Sieyes, to bo present, when
his niece Marie takes the veil, but that young lady
not choosing to devote herself to a religious life is
removed from the convent. The revolution breaks
out, and the great interest of the book com-
mences with the departure of the Beaujolais
family from Paris, They settle at Giroflet,
a village between the capital and Orleans,
where they reside in comfort and tranquillity with
the amiable Cure of the parish, until they are dis-
covered by Fauchet, a villainous attorney, who had
ruined the general's eldest brother, and been him-
self expelled from Avignon, covered with infamy
and disgrace, mainly through the exertions of the
general. This man, now risen to power, seeks his
revenge; denounces the entire family of Beaujolais
as aristocrats, and would have arrested them were
they not warned of his machinations by Rameau,
who assists them in their flight. They are pursued,
but at length reach Avignon, where, supported by
his regiment, which is thoroughly loyal, the general
considers himself in safety. But the inhabitants
of Avignon, like the rest of France, become infected
by Jacobin principles, and the General disperses a
club and arrests its leaders just as Fauchet arrives to
act then as Dictator with uncontrolled powers—he
instantly demands the release of the prisoners,
which is refused, when be excites the " sans
culottes" to rebellion. The castle, strong enough to
resist a siege, is basely delivered to the insurgents
by the commander, a disguised Revolutionist, and
the Hotel de Ville in which the General has en-
trenched himself is stormed, his faithful regiment
is annihilated, and he himself with all the members
of his family are made prisoners. Through the agency
of Rameau they once more escape, but are again
captured and finally transferred to Paris, where all
are condemned to death by the revolutionary tri-
bunal. The wretch Fauchet becomes enamoured of
Marie, who is betrothed to Victor, and proposes to
release her friends if she consents to marry him.
His proposal is indignantly rejected—she obtains
an interview with Robespierre, pleads the cause
of her relations, and failing to obtain mercy
far them, betakes herself to Fauchet's hotel,
and agrees to accept him as her husband, provided
he ensures the immediate release of her family.
Fauchet eagerly accepts the proposal, and Marie is
removed to another room while he prepares the
necessary orders. And now Rameau, who has for
some time actel as Fauchet's secretary, and is
thus enabled to thwart his plans, enters. The Dic-
tator, who had but just discovered his infidelity,
denounces his conduct, and shows him the death.
warrant of his son, an only child whom he has kept
as a hostage for the father's good conduct. The
interview must be told in the author's own words :
It was a lurid day, without any visible sun; thick, stag-
nant, grey clouds choked the air, and seemed to brood with
a nightmare weight upon the torpid earth. The very
flowers seemed lifeless; the birds flew heavily and were
silent.

Fauchet's room was intensely silent—so silent, that the
sound of a blow-fly bussing against one corner of the glass,
angry at its unintelligible imprisonment, seemed louder
than the drowsy monotonous pulsation of the clock in the
black case that stood on the mantlepiece.
As the door creaked open, Fauchet looked up with a
smile worthy of hell.
" So, so, monsieur," said Fauchet, "so you not only
betray my plans to my enemies, but you release a lady
whom I choose to detain a prisoner. You send
her to Citizen Robespierre to undermine me—you think
in fact, to baffle and thwart me—you, a buffoon and para-
site, a poor wandering vagabond, who dies if I choose to
raise my finger. You have trespassed long enough on my
patience—to-morrow your brat perishes upon the scaffold—
there, no supplication. I have said it—it is inevitable ; and
were you not useful to me, you yourself should not survive
him.
" Citizen Fauchet," said Rameau gravely, and without
tears or prayers, drawing his chair closer to the dictator,
" we have many debts to settle—let us settle them now,
there is no time to loose. You wonder why" have secretly
helped those Beaujolais? I will tell you. Yon remember
that 30 years ago you led one Louis Beaujolais, a foolish
spendthrift, to his ruin. You forged for him, and urged
him to forge; you made him break his father's heart, and
impoverish his younger brother. Finally, you cast him
off, a disgraced beggar, to die in the West Indies. 1 ant
Louis Beaujolais ! I now come to pay my debts to you."
Fauchet started, and moved his chair back, but Rameau
was calm. _ . _ _ _

" Time, sorrow, dyed skin, assumed voice and manners,
and bleached hair, effectually concealed me from you. I
entered your service, and bore all your insults, to save my
brother, and atone for my past sins by one good action—to
drag you, if possible, to the scaffold, or some loathsome and
retributive death—to hurl you to the red hell gaping for
you I It was I who planned the escape from Giraflet—it
was I prevented the massacre at the Avignon prisons—it
was I denounced you to Robespierre, and warned your col-
leagues of your treachery."
"Scoundrel, I do not believe your story," said Fauchet;
"though you are base enough even to cheat a galley-slave.
And if it be all true, what have your find plans brought you
to? To the guillotine, with your son. Look, the name I
write now gives you but fifteen hours to live. I wed Marie ;
I release from prison those Beaujolais ; I send them out to
beg upon the highway; soon they will be arrested again—
and so will perish a proud bad race. As for you, you will
never see them again, nor they you. I have but to ring
this bell, and you pass straight from here to the axe."
"If I have but fifteen hours to live," said Rameau, leap-
ing up with the fury and passion of a madman, and seizing
Fauchet by the throat and mouth, with a deadly grip, so
close that he could neither move nor call out, he planted
one knee upon Fauchet's right arm, while he held his left
in the other as in a vice, "you have but fifteen seconds to
breathe. Hell clamours for you. Look on the wall, spawn
of Satan I"
Fauchet looked instinctively, and saw the shadow of an
enormous arm holding a long thin knife. He tried to scream,
but Rameau'a strangulating hand upon his gullet stifled
every sound. Rameau felt slowly, and with a horrible
care and exactitude for the lawyer's heart, and found the
spot which the doctor had that morning pointed out.
" Monster, butcher, incarnation of Satan I" Rameau said
in a low hoarse voice, " hideous as you arc wicked, another
instant and I toss you into hell, where even now, creatures
better than yourself leap for joy, and splash in the flames
to hear'of your coming I Forsaken by God I —hated by man I
—without hope or consolation you are defeated, tricked, and
countermined in the midst of a short triumph, which this
slow cancels. God himself sent rue the weapon that now
pierces you—DIE I"
The thin strong knife rose slowly in the air, it descended
with terrific force, burying itself to the hilt in Fauchet's
heart. The blow was so sure, deep, straight, and true that,
only one drop of blood escaped from the small orifice of the
wound—the bleeding was internal. There was only a low
groan, and Fauchet fell back in his chair, dead. The
scourge of mankind had gone to his account, and hell
already had received him.
Immediately on perpetrating the murder, Rameau
