been as much for his own reputation as for

covery of the truth. Yet the exertions
to unravel
the mystery still failed of their effect. No On, e, could
dis-
be found who had seen Lady Dudley fall, a-a, 1 she
was dead when she was discovered. Event
after an investigation apparently without preect‘ 'at
for the strictness with which it had been conduct,
the jury returned a verdict of accidental death, avi.
Lord Robert was thus formally acquitted. Yet tho,
conclusion was evidently of a kind which would not'
silence
suspicion; it was not proved that Lady
Dudley had been murdered ; but the cause of the
death was still left to conjecture; and were there

,oved to be a forgery—a cloud would still rest
over Dudley's fame. (secil might well have written-
of him, as
,he did in later years, that ho " was in-
famed by his wife's death ; and the shadow which.
h i
hung over s verve in the popular belief, would be
intelligible even if it was undeserved. A paper re-
mains, however, among Cecil's M.SS., which proves
that Dudley was less zealous for• inquiry than he
seemed; that his unhappy wife vas indeed mur-
dered; and that with proper exeroo.n the guilty
persons might have been discovered. That there
should be a universal impression that a
„Particular
person was about to be made away with, that this
person should die in a mysterious violent ra.ltiner,
and yet that there Ehould have been no foul
.play-
after all, would have been a combination of coie,ci-
dances which would not easily find credence in a
well-constituted court of justice.T sgzst
point in Dudley's favour was that he senthe o

half-brother, John Appleyard, to the inquest..

Being examined by Cecil, he admitted thatn
the in-
vestigation at Cumnor had, after all, bee
quately conducted. He said " that he had oftentimes.o
moved the Lord Robert to give him
leave, and t
countenance him in the prosecuting of the trial of
the murder of his sister—adding that he did take
the Lord Robert to be innocent thereof ; but yet he
thought it an easy matter to find out the offenders
—affirming thereunto, and showing certain circum-
stances which moved him to think surely that she
was murdered—whereupon he said that the Lord
Robert always assured him that he thought it was
not fit to deal any further in the matter, considering
that by order of the law it was already fou,id
otherwise, and that it was so presented by a jury,
Nevertheless the said Appleyard in his speech said
upon examination, that the jury had not as yet
given up their verdict." If Appleyard spoke the
truth, there is no more to be said. The conclusion
seems inevitable, that, although Dudley was inno-
cent of a direct participation in the crime, the un-
happy lady was sacrificed to his ambition. She
was murdered by persons who hoped to profit by
his elevation to the throne ; and Dudley himself--
aware that if the murder could be proved public
feeling would forbid his marriage with the Queen
—used private means, notwithstanding his affecta-
tion of sincerity, to prevent the search from being
pressed inconveniently far. But seven years had
passed before Appleyard spoke, while the world in
the interval was silenced by the verdict ; and those
who wished to be convinced perhaps believed Dud-
ley innocent. It is necessary to remember this to
understand the conduct of Cecil.

The Ladies in the Citadel of Warsaw.

WARSAW, Nov. 7.
The ladies who were taken some days ago to the
Citadel will proceed to-day or to-morrow to Russia
by railway. It is not known to what part of tho
empire they will be sent. The young girls who
were arrested lately are not excluded from this
transportation. The father of the twin sisters
Fleischer, who are but 15 years of age, begged
general Rcz wadowski to tell him the er:rne for
which his children had received this dreadful. sen-
tence, and was answered that they are charged with.
ho particular crime, but that General Berg thou ;ht
it advisable instantly to send them away from the
city, together with the other ladies. He refused
the prayer of the unfortunate father that he might
be told the place to which his children would be
sent, in order to enable him to send a person of
more mature age to look after them. To ni-ght all
the rich inhabitants who were lately arrested, 6i)
in number, are to be sent away, nobody knows'
whither. It is a fact that these persons, both ladies
and gentlemen, will be transported without trial
or hearing of any kind, but simply on the order of
General Berg. That this has already several times
been the case appears from letters received here
from the Asiatic frontier, which state that the
transported prisoners did not even have a hearing.
No preparation whatever is made for the journey ;
the prisoners are not even supplied with warm
clothing, and nearl

azette consequence fallen
ill on the way.—.
