Mn. FROTJDE'S SUMMARY OF THEVSN46IIOI,_

EICT J. 11
WERE TAMEN TO INQUIRE INTO TH US F
FATE.
In deference io the general outcry, either the in-
quiry was protracted, or a second jury, as Dudley
suggested, was chosen. Lord Robert himself was
profoundly anxious, although his anxiety ma'
have
been as much for his own reputation as for the i
dis-
covery of the truth. Yet the exertions to umeave
the mystery still failed of their effect. No one coela
be fund who had seen Lady Dudley fall, and We
was dead when she was discovered. Eventually,
after an investigation apparently without precedent
for the strictness with which it had been conducted,
the jury returned a verdict of accidental death, and
Lord Robert was thus formally acquitted. Yet the
conclusion

it was not proved that Lady
Dedley had been murdered ; but the cause of the
death was still left to conjecture; and were there
nothing more—were Cecil's words to DO Qeedrar
proved to be a forgery-__.a cloud would still rest
over Dudley's fame. Cecil might well have written
of him, as he did in later years, that he " was in-
famed by his wife's .leath ;" and the shadow which
hung over his name in the popular belief, would be,
intelligible even if it was undeserved.. A paper re-
mains, however, among Cecil's MSS,, which proves
that Dudley was less zealous for inquiry than he
seemed; that his unhappy wife was indeed mur-
dered; and that with proper exertion thee guilty
persons might have been discovered. That there
should be a universal impression that a paeeicular
person was about to be made away with,

Being examined by Cecil, he admitted thatbheetihnea idne--
vestigation at Cumnor had, after all,
quately conducted. He said " that he ht:d oftentimes
moved the Lord Robert to give him le:tvel and to
. e
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 offs. nders
—affirming thereunto, and showing certain circum-
stances which moved him to think surely that she
was murdered—whereupon he said that the L ord
Robert always assured him that he thought it W.'
not fit to deal any further in the matter, considering
that by order of the law it was already found
otherwise, and that it was so presented by a jury.
Nevertheless the said Appleyard in his speecie 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 th© crime, the un-
happy lady was sacrificed to his ambition. Sho
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 (lemon
—used private means, notwithstanding his affecta-
tion of sincerity, to prevent the search from being
I 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 beemliheevredthDieudto-
ley innocent. It is necessary to
understand the conduct of Cecil.

The Ladies in the Citadel of Warsaw.

WAr.SAIV, Nov. 7.

The ladies who were taken some dqy4 ago to the
Citadel will proceed to-day or to-motroW to Russia
by railway. It is not known to what pa -t of the
empire they will be sent. The young tn'rls who
were arrested lately are not excluded fra,ni this
transportation. The father of the twin s:sters
Fipi,elier, who aro but 15 years of age, bck,,Ted
General Rozwadowski to tell him the crime I'or
which his children had received this dreadful seri-
:CTICC, and was answered that they are charged with
no particular crime, hut that General Berg thought-
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 bo
sent, in order to enable him to send a person of
more mature age to look after them. TO-night all
the rich inhabitants who were lately an ested, 60
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 ti.mes
been the case appears from letters received hore
from the Asiatic frontier, which state that the
transported prisoners did not even have a hearing,
