PASCAL BRUNO, EDITED BY THEODORE HOOK,
ESQ.—In alluding to this very popular story, the Atheneum
observes :—" How far Mr. Hook's editorial cares have ex-
tended over this volume it is impossible for us to guess ; be
deserves, however, the thanks of all readers of romance for
introducing to the English public this capital tale of sur-
prise and adventure. The life, capture and death of Pascal
Bruno make up an excellent story of its class—one which,
we imagine, will not be long ere it passes(if it has not already
passed) into the hands of the melo-dramatist and the pro-
perty. man." Unquestionably a rich theatrical treat may be
expected from the highly dramatic incidents and situations
with which this exciting story abounds.
At the Commission Court, Dublin, on Monday, a
woman named Bridget M'Cullagli was indicted for poison-
ing a fellow-servant,- who, she suspected, had informed her
mistress of her depraved conduct in admitting men into the
house. The butler had also partaken of the poison, but
recovered. The jury, after being in deliberation three hours,
returned into Court, saying they could not agree. The fore-
man said if the punishment of death did not follow the ver-
dict they would agree to find the prisoner guilty. They
wore again sent back, and after four hours' more delibera-
tion, cue of the jurors being at the time very unwell, they
agreed to a verdict of guilty. The Dublin Post says, "it
was an awful scene at this moment ; yet the unfortunate
prisoner was not at all disconcerted, but evinced the greatest
firmness. Every one in Court was extremely affected, and
the learned judge folded his hands and lifted his eyes to
heaven in apparently great agony."

GROSS OUTRAGe. LYON

MAJESTY.

The following additional particulars respecting the g:-ess
outrage offered to her Majesty just previous to her entering
the New Palace, on Saturday last, are from a quarter on
which we have reason to believe every reliance can be
placed. The words used by the in livid led in custody, be-
sides the opprobrious epithets already mentione9l, vv.:re, that
her Majesty was a usurper, and that he would have her off
the throne before that day week. Hi r Majesty, who dis-
tinctly heard the threats, immediately on alighting from her
carriage, directed the Hon. Colonel Cavendish, her princi-
pal equerry, to cause him to be taken into custody ; but on
his going outside the Palace for that purpose, the individual
was nowliere to be seen. It was at first supposed, from-
his wearing a star on his left breast, that he was a foreigner
of distinction, and a communication was accordingly in-
stantly forwarded to the head office of the Commissioners
of Police of the occurrence, when &warlock, A 125, Was
dispatched to the Palace to obtain a description of the indi-
vidual from the footmen who sat on the hind dickey of the
Queen's carriage ; that description leading Shearlock to
believe that the offender was Capt. John Goode, late of the
10th Royal Hussars, whom he had had in custody on the 24th
of May last (her Majesty's birth-day) for creating a disturb-
ance and forcibly entering within the inclosure of Ken-
sington Palace, he proceeded in private clothes to the re-
sidence then given by the captain, at the house of Miss
Blanchard, 218, Regent-circus, Oxford-street, to ascertain
if he still resided there. On Shearlock seeing Miss Blan-
chard, he did not communicate to her the object of his visit,
but merely inquired whether the captain still resided there,
when she told him that he did ; that he had been out ail
the afternoon, and that his friends were much alarmed re-
specting him, fearing from some expressions which had fal-
len from him that he meditated some act of violence towards
her Majesty on her intended visit to the city on Thursday
next. Shearlock, who ries accompanied by Harris, another
policeman of the same division, although confident that
Captain Goode was the individual of whom lie was in
search, did not feel himself justified in apprehending him
without an order to that effect from the Secretary of State;
he, therefore, after forwarding the result of his inquiries
to the Commissioners, remained with Harris during the
night, and up to two o'clock on Sunday afternoon, on the
watch in the Circus, that the Captain did not leave his
residence. About two o'clock Inspector Pearce, of the
same division, arrived at the corner of Regent-circus in
a hackney coach, with the order from the Home-office,
when all three proceeded to Miss Blanchard's house, and
on the door being opened entered, without acquainting the
servant with their object, who, becoming alarmed, screamed
out for the police. She was, however, soon quieted by
Harris, while Inspector Pearce and Shearlock immediately
proceeded to the apartments occupied by Captain Goode,
whom, on entering the room, they found standing in a morn-
ing dress, with his back to the fire. On learning their in-
tention to convey him away in custody lie became greatly
excited, and denounced them as a couple of traitors to him-
self, their lawful Sovereign. He was then allowed to dress,
and ultimately conveyed in the hackney coach, which had
been kept waiting, to the office of the Secretary of State
for the Home Department, where Sir F. A. Roe, Bart.,
the Chief Magistrate of Police-, Mr. Phillips, the Under
Secretary of State, and other gentlemen connected with
Government, were awaiting his arrival. When brought
into the room he was placed behind a chair. opposite the
table where Sir F. A. Roe was sitting, when he became
greatly excited, and repeated the declarations he made
when examined in May last before Messrs. Codd,
Barlow, and Pilkington, the sitting Magistrates at Ken-
sington, that he was the only lawful sovereign of these
realms ; that he was a son of George the Fourth. and
Queen Caroline, born at Montagu-house, Blackheath ;
and that if he could but get hold of her Majesty he would
" !ear her into pieces." Upon every subject unconnected
with the Royal Family he spoke in a most rational man-
ner, but whenever the Queen's name was mentioned he be-
came exceedingly violent. After the evidence of her Ma-
jesty's footmen and other persons who had observed his
violent conduct, was taken, Sir F. A. Roe told him lie
could not be allowed to act in so outrageous a manner, and
must be detained in custody unless lie found security, him-
self in 1,0001. and two sureties in 500/. each, for his good
behaviour. He then again became very violent, when, not
being provided with sureties, he was remanded to the
New Prison, Tothill-fields, for re-examination on Saturday
next. When conveyed to prison he was taken in the hack-
ney-coach from the entrance to the Treasury in St. James's
Park. On entering the coach he instantly smashed all
the windows with his elbows, and screamed out to the sen-
tinels on duty, "Guards of England ! do your duty, and
rescue your Sovereign !" to the no small astonishment of the
bystanders. He is a fine, handsome-looking man, of dark
complexion, and in his forty-first year.

MEETING OF THE POLISH EXILES

IN PARIS.

(From the Journal des Debals.)
A meeting took place on the 30th ult. of the Polish Li-
terary Society in Paris, attended by a considerable number
of persons of eminence and distinction in that capital, con-
nected with and interested in the cause of Poland, in order
to present to our high-minded countryman, Lord Dudley
Stuart, with a copy of his portrait, engraved on steel by the
distinguished Polish artist Olesczynski, and which has been
effected by subscriptions raised among the Poles.
Prince Czartoryski presided, and, in an eloquent ad-
dress observed—" It has often been asked with some
surprise why Lord Dudley Stuart has borne so- great
an affection, and has evinced so much interest in the
cause of Poland ? Men, in general, are • led away by,
and attach themselves only to, the fortunate ; they
admire and surround those only who are successrul.
He, however, is one of those superior individuals over
whom misfortunes exercise a predominant influence. The
advantages and the importance of the re-establish-
ment of Poland may be shown upon a mere calculation
of the interests and dangers of Europe in general. Our
lengthened misfortunes, and the state of destitution in which
we appear to be, have chilled the sympathies of some, and
shaken the sonvictions of Others. But those causes have
produced a different effect on a higli and elevated mind, ani-
mated by an ardent sense ofju it ice. It is precisely because we
are abandoned that he consecrates to us his time, his care, his
exertions. On an occasion when it would be desirable to give
utterance to expressions only of satisfaction, I wish I could
say something consolatory to you on the state of our affairs.
Unfortunately, however, the march of events do not permit
the at this moment so to do. What conclusion is to be drawn
from this? Is our cause to be despaired of? Assuredly
not. It ought ri„ther to strengthen our conviction in this,
that the true hope of. Poland is in ourselves. So long as
the Poles shall continue to detest the yoke of the stranger,
that they shall be determined to remain at any price a na-
tion, and ready to .risk everyth'ng in order-to reconquer the
the independence of th,ir country, so long as they may look
forward with sure and sanguine hope to the future. The
ever-changing march of affairs is not checked ; great events
may every instant arise ; but it is an invariable law appli-
cable to nations as well as to individuals, that there are no
favourable events but for those who place themselves in a.
situation to act by their own means and with their own
energies."
The venerable Niemcewicz then retraced with fervour
the implacable and unheard-of persecutions' which Russia ILl-
rclentingly exercises over the whole population of Polanl,
not exception women and children.
Lord DUDLEY STUART addressed the meeting at its
conclusion, and after having thanked the persons present
for their flattering testimony towards him, he declared that
his devotion would not be overpowered by obstacles, and
that he would persevere, even against time and its most
cruel vicissitudes. He assured them that though for the
present he was not in Parliament, yet that he had left there
many friends zealous in the cause of. the Poles. He re-
collected also that the question was now much better un-
derstood than it had been at the time of the last insurrec-
tion ; that the right, was now established too clearly to ad-
mit of discussion ; thst hereaft, r it would be necessary
only to watch forthcoming events, and wait a favourable
opportunity—to prepare and show beforehand to the world
the imposing spectacle of an union of views and a concert
in action, such as the cause may require and circumstances
rendered most advantageous.

We promised several days ago to lay before our
readers a list of the persons who had rejected the invita-
tion of " the Entertainment Committee of the Court of
Comdion Council of the city of London" to dine at Guild-
hall on the 9th inst.:--the Duke of Northutnberland, the
Duke of Buceleuch, the Duke of Richmond, Lord Stan-
ley, Lord G. Somerset, Sir Jamei Graham, Bart., and Mr.

and five new on s. All the 62ndidates were in the Liberal in-
terest, except Mr. Suinmedield, who came forward under
the auspices of the Conservatives, although we are given to
understand that a coalition was afterwards effected with Mr.
S. by some of the opno.site party. The struggle was a sev.tre
one, and it was confidently expected that it would have termi-
nated, 2s it did last.year, in the success of the Conservative
interest.

VAitvsicic —The Tories here contrived to squeeze in one
member of the caste Conservative.

SWANSEA.—Tho contest here had n3t a tinge of party po-
litics..and was carried on in good humour, as all the candidates
were zealous Reformers.

CARDIFF.—The return of three highly respeetab!e, intelli-
gent, and Liberal members to the Town Council of Cardiff,
for the South Ward, notwithstanding the determined opposi-
tion and injudicious zeal, of the. hitherto dominant party, has
-lifftr3ed general joy and satisfaction through the town, and
given a gentle adnionition to the hitherto sole director.
