remained tv her bedside, with a f6tv, hrlef Jr.tntl'als;
sevEral clay. anti n!ftilatO. Mrta. Botfei hEing., let it net
be fokgettet., ail this time in a state of dreadful de-
woud receive no attentions nor nursing from
ny one br:. Mr. Morton, excPpt in occasional in-
tervals, wises the Lecamo somewhat more cairn.
During one of the brief naziods of Mr. Morton's
absence, Mrs. Bew•or stated that her last child, born
four weeks previously, was not Mr. Bower's, but Mr.
Morton's. Or. Mr. B. remarking that he ascribed the
statement to tie illness under which she was labouring,
and did not pima any faith in it, Mrs. Bower reiterated
the assertion with increased emphasis, and said that, as
a dying woman it was true. Mr. Bower observed that,
if he could tallier) it, either Mr. Morton or himself
should, in less than an hour, hes dead :man. She again
energetically ciclared that the child was Mr. Morton's,
not Mr. Bower's, and appealed to the heust'maid why
happened to hi prQlent, whether it was not true, that
Mr. Morton fiad pt in the house rt'va.dl nights
timing Mr. • from Paris, about nine
months r:Tevieuly. nr:e houst maid said that such was
the Let. Mr.lSo.vr:r. th:n retired into the dininrcces,
where err-Inganults had been ar:de , for a hurried
meal, when, tr.J)rtunately, Mr. B:yreer's brain,
eecor!ing Own statement to its, was mafi-
,ier,;:cl by what 1-,e had heard, Mr. -Morton entered
the room. Mr. Bower imca,,diately vat the qusc!ion to
im, w tether the horrible averment of his wife was true.
Ir. Morton m7.da no reply—neither admitted nor denied
the grave charge which the question implied, but that
instant rushed out of tba room. Mr. Bower, on the im-
pulse of the moment, snatched np a knife which was
lying'on the table' and rtalsel after Mr. Morton, over-
taking him, as he had reached the fourth or fifth stair,
and making a deep wound in the neck, which cut the
jugular vein. Mr. Mor'cn fell that instant, and never
spoke a word, or ever uttered a groan. Mr. Bower,
acting on the advice of n relative who was in the house
at the time, hurriedlt put on an overcoat which was
lying beside him, tine', through the aid of a female ser-
vant,- escaped by a haak passage.
" Sach 'are the correct details of . this most horrible
affair, Mr. Boweraud Mr. Morton had long been on
terms of the closest 'ntimacy, and, being engaged in the
'ame pursuits, mntudly assisted each other.
" With regard to Mrs. Bower, whose unhappy con-
dition every one mast deeply deplore,, it is right we
should say, that she is a lady of exceeingly amiable
manners, as wdl as of great accomplishments, while her
demeanour in society has always accorded with the
most rigid views of female propriety, in the estimation
of i.hesewto have been introduced to her.

"In the corn liraftit which the Paris correspondent of
the Globe paysto Mr. Bower, we cordially concur. He
is a man of grist and varied powers as a writer. His
information is mtenSive, and hiS style has always been
characterised ly a vivacity, a pungency, and a raciness,
ithich have seldom been equalled. He is, too, a man of
high moral courage, as he has amply attested by the bold
ind unflinching manner in which he has braved the
Government of France, notwithstending the threats of
immediate expulsion from that country which have for
some time past been haegng over his head. We have
much pleasure n adding, that ho most readily and
heartily entered into r.ll our views, us to the course
which we have oe various occasions instructed him to
take. He was for i long time on terms of personal inti-
macy with Louis Ziapolcon, and was a frequent guest at
the Ely: 6 but in his zeal to act up to the wishes of the
editor of this jour d, he became, after the events of
December, one of the most decided and most formidable
foes of the Presider'.
"A man so devoid in his attachment to the estahlieh-
ment with which hs was connected, and who discharged
the duties which doolved upon him with an unflinching,
feafless, and surpezeieg talent, well deserves the tribute
which wo have pale to his .ferviccs. Most deeply do we
plore the fesritil ntastroplm which Las occurred, and
very sincerely do re sympathise with him in the dis-
c tresning position in }lieh he is Plaeed2'
