The various positions of Lover, Husband. and Parent, which

leges of mankind, and but for the acciants of mortality would
be awarded equally to all. To such. among others, this essay
aciklres,es itself; and, by its perusal, many questions may be
satisfactorily adjusted, that admit of no appeal, even to the
most confidential friend. To fan the spark of hope, to dissi-
pate groundless alarm, to restore failing confidence, and point
to themeans of securing a happy old age, is no trifling com-
mendation of an effort directly tending to the social and moral
welfare of all-classes of the community.

DII. BIRKBECK'S FUNERAL,
ON MONDAY, DEC. 13.
The following is the order determined on :
The Funeral will leave Finsbury-square for the
Kensal-green Cemetery, on Monday morning at eleven
o'clock precisely ; all 'persons therefore who desire to
accompany it, whether On foot or in couches, should be
in Finsbury-square at half-past ten o'clock at the latost.
Mourners on foot are requested to arrange themselves
on the east side of Finsbury-square, between Sun-street
and King-street ; they will be preceded by mutes, and
will walk immeniately befiire the .hearse four abreast.
On arriving at the Cemetery they will proceed to within
a few yards of the Chapel, then halt, and arrange them-
selves in a double line on each side of the path through
which the procession will pass. •
Those mourners who prefer meeting, the funeral at the
Cemetery. are requested in like manner to arrange thein-
selves on both sides of the path and wait its arrival.
Mourners in carriages will take their places in the
order of their arrival in Finsbury-square ; precedence
being given to the London Mechanics' Institution, im-
mediately after the family and private friends of the
deceased.

It is necessary to remind all those who intend to take
part in this ceremony, that the strictest attention should
be paid to thew arrangements, and to the request of
these who will carry them into effect ; so as to avoid a
confusion which would be equally indecorous and painful.

EXTRAORDINARY ESCAPE AND
FEMALE HEnorsx

1 BAYONNE, .DEc. 3.—Theke is one of the refugees who
has atlast succeeded in reaching the French territory,
the history of whose escape is of a romantic nature, and
well illustrates the snperioriy of female courage and re-
solution in the hour of danger.
The name of the individual alluded to is Don Eulogio
Barber() Quintero. His family having been known to
the President of the Provisional Government named by
tlteizisursgecernetstariyn
uth) e
oc of V
ieity
Juntaiiotrtomreiad, was
ap-
pointed
tepur
pose of arming and defending the province of Alava,
and was employed by Montes de Oca in drawii.g.up
reports and other documents connected with the in-
tended defence of the city against the troops of the
Government, but more particularly against those of
Martin Zurbano. Quintero is a young man, about 25
years old, and is possessed of much intelligence, and has
received a good education.' In his person he is tinder the
middle size, slight and gracefully made ; but his features
are expressive of intellect, and of much determination.
After the resolution come to by the Junta not to defend
the city against the approaching army of Rodil, Quin.
tero saw that all was over ; yet he was still unwilling to
fly ; and it was nut until he beheld the total change
which had come over the minds of the population, and
until he heard a price set on the head of the unfortunate
Montes de Oca, that he felt it would be the act of a
madman to await the fate which he knaw would be re-
served for all who had distinguished themselves so much
in the insurrection as he had done. It was not, however,
until after the departure of his chief from Vittoria that
Quintero made an effort to escape. He set out from Vit-
toria by night, and gained the mountains of Guipuscoa,
in the direction of Salinos. His intention was to have
passed along the chain which separates Guipuscoa from
Navarre, called the Sierra de Aralur, to have crept on
towards Goyzueto, thence to Vert, Urdax, and finally
into the French territory.
After many difficulties, lie succeeded in arriving as far
as Goyzueta. It was a few days after the death of Mu-
nagorri, and the terrible Chapelgorri, Elorrio, was hover-
ing about these passes. Quintero was ignorant of the
incident which had taken place in the neighbourhood a
short time before, and which terminated in the death of
the Fuerist leader. As he was leaving Goyzueta at day-
break, he was discovered by one of the Chapelgorries,
• and delivered up to the Chief. Prayers and entreaties
were of no avail, nor yet bribes ; for who ever heard
that Elorrio was turned aside front his purpose by sup-
plications or by money ? He was led to St. Sebastian,
lodged in the citadel, and in a few. days conducted back
to Vittoria; and there he remained in hopeless captivity
until the night of the 21st of November. His cause had
been already formed, and his trial was to come on on the
24th, before the Military Commission. Not having been
a military insurgent, and not having taken any pro-
minent part, as chief or leader, in the rebellion, he at
first thought that the extreme penalty of the law would
not be infitcted.on him. But in this hope he wit; de-
ceiving himself ; he was informed that there Avis but
little chance of escape for an individual who had held
such close relation with the chief of the rebels.
Quintero had been married about a year previously to
a young lady, named Juana de Areito, a native of Eybar
in the province of Guipuseoa, who has not as yet com-
pleted her twenty-first year. She was one of those
heroic young women who, in 1834, when her native
town was attacked by Zabala, in the commencement of
the civil war, assisted the Christino troops so materially
in its defence. She was then only fourteen years old,
and the service she rendered was that of placing her-
self on her knees in the centre of a square of soldiers,
and supplying them with ammunition, filling their
pouches so as to prevent a moment being lost, whilst
showers of bullets were flying about her, and men fell
dead on every side.
When the tidings of her husband's danger reached
her, she at once formed the. determination of saving, or
of perishing with him whom she doated on to distraction.
The cell in which Quintero was confined was small
and narrow. The door was always left open, and a
sentinel was placed at the entrance in order to keep the
prisoner constantly in sight ; another was stationed at
the outer gate, and a third kept guard at the street-door.
To reach his dungeon it was necessary to pass these
three doors, one of which was formed of iron bars. The
prisoner had been forbidden to hold communication with

any prisoner whatever ; and his wife's application to see
and visit hint had been sternly refused. The poor young
woman went to the prison-door several times every day
with her baby in her arms, and as often returned after
vain supplications for admittance, with a heart breaking
in anguish. The only person allowed to enter the cell
where the prisoner was confined was a young girl, who
brought him his meals, and only 20 minutes were allowed
for dinner and supper. The former meal was taken at
mid-day, and the latter in the evening. At 7 o'clock in
the evening of the 21st of November, ft young female
came to the outer door of the prison, with a basket under
her arm, which was partially concealed untie" a large
coarse shawl flung across her shoulders ; a red handker-
chief was bound about her head, in the fashion of the
Alavese peasant girls, and her costume was, otherwise,
that of the criudas, or servant girls of 'Vittoria. She de-
manded permission, in the usual manner, to enter with
the prisoner's supper. The sentinel at the gate referred
her to the sergeant of the guard. Fortunately the com-
pany which had previously been on duty was changed
that same day, and the general orders for their guidance
referred only to the admission twice a day of the bearer
of the prisoner's meals, but did not give ally specific de-
scription of the personal appearance of the bearer. After
undergoing the coarse jests and brutal allusions of the
soldiers of the guard on her selection of so advanced an
hour, when night had already commenced, to visit the
prisoner, she was allowed to enter, and was successively
passed from one sentinel to another, until she reached
the cell of the captive. By ..some awkwardness, or, more
probably by design, she threw down the small iron

lamp, whicfi was suspended,from the door-frame, and by
means of which the soldier stationed at the entrance,
which was always left open, might have a partial view of
his charge.
The moment they were left in darkness, and whilst
the sentinel proceeded to the second gate to light the
lamp, she addressed the young man,—" My beloved Eu-
logio, lose not a moment, throw off your coat, put on my
clothes, whilst I biad this _handkerchief about your head;
take this basket, in which my poor baby is asleep, and
fly—fly for the love, of God ! You Nl.lll give the child
to an old woman, whom you will find waiting at the Bil-
bao gate. Provided that you and my child are out of all
danger, lam ready to suffer death in your place. Speak
not a word ; every moment is precious. You only lose
time by attempting .to resist or refuse, for I have come
here with a determination which neither you nor any
eno else can change. Farewell ! if I escape unharmed,
and I do not think the Regent will shoot me for my love
to my husband, we wilt meet again ; if not, Eulogio,
think of me when I shall he in my grace, and love our
child—the poor baby is not more than six weeks old.
Hush speak not, the sentinel is here with the lamp."
Quintero made an effort to change her resolution, but
she would listen to no argument. lie did as she re-
quested, and in the course of a few minutes he had put
on her gown, shawl, and handkerchief; and she wrapped
herself up in his cloak. In order to prevent any suspi-
cion on the part of the soldiers of the gate, they re-
mained
together the usual time allowed for the repast,
and Eulogio then took up the basket, covered it with his
shawl, and passed the first sentinel. As he was proceed-
ing towards the outer gate the child awoke, and to pre-
vent its cries from being noticed, the father began to
sing, in a loud voice, an old Basque ballad. Providence
however, decreed that the interruption should not be
noticed, and he at length succeeded in reaching the
street. lie at once proceeded to the gate indicated ;
found there the old woman, whom he recog- I
nised as having been his wife's nurse ; gave the child
to her, and, without a moment's delay, made for
the mountains. Eight days he remained wandering
amongst those tremendous passes, with no clothing but
his pantaloons and shirt, and his feet and hands torn by
the brushwood in which he was obliged, from time to
time, to conceal himself from the parties of military
whom he was constantly encountering. He had not less
than 24 leagues to travel before he could reach the fron-
tier, and his fimd, during the whole of the painful jour-
ney, was a morsel of bread and a draught. of water or

cider, given him by the poor peasants near whose habi-
tations he found himself, and who, though knowing he

was flying from the avenger, never once thought of be-
traying him.
On reaching, in a state of dreadful exhaustion, the
Bidassoa, he found that the left bank was occupied in
every pact by the Spanish soldiers, who had even seized
the boats to hinder the refugees from crossing. Being
in a state of desperation he plunged into the river, care-
less whether he was shot or drowned. As if somesupe-

nor will had decreed that the noble and heroic iet,
prompted by pure conjugal lore, should not piss without
its due reward, Quintero succeeded in gaining the oppo-
site bank, the part he had selected being fordable, the
water reaching only to his middle, neither was he seen

by the Spaniards.
On arriving on the French territory he knelt down,
and in the enthusiastic fervour of his gratitude returned
thanks to Heaven for his safety. He arrived in Bay-
onne the day before yesterday.
Up to two o'clock yesterday he had received no ac-
count Of his wife, and he continues, as yet, in a state of
indescribable anxiety as to her fate. There can be no
doubt, however, of her ultimate safety, and of her speedy
reunion with the object of her love. Martin Zurbano
himself could not find it in his heart to do otherwise than
reward such an act of noble fidelity.
The young lady who has thus distinguished herself
belongs to an ancient and respectable family in Guipus-
coa. She is young, beautiful, as arc the greater part of
the females of her native province, of the middle size -
slight, and exquisitely formed in her person.
