The father made no reply, but at the same moment
turned his horse aside and went up a lane to the
left, leading off the road. The lane was a lonely one;
there was no one about, nor any one visible when
they entered it, and the son, who had all along
felt a peculiar dread, said to his father that he could
not understand how they had gone up into that
lane. The baron made some reply about feeling
unwell, and asked his son to hold his horse while

he got off. The son did so, and inquired whether
he should ride on and fetch some brandy, but the
baron declined this with some haste, and said he
would go and pay a visit to the Due d'Aumale, and
then led the way down a lane to the right of
Orleans House.. Here they met a woman, who

war lasts, without any distress from inland or sea
blockade. The absurdity of supposing that a blockade
can injure them in the way of supply is a favourite
theme to descant upe. They may find out, how.
ever, that it is no coeemptible means of warfare.
At night, after our r Xurn, a large bonfire was
lighted on the bank to attract the steamer to call
for my luggage, and she was to leave at a point on
the opposite shore 14 miles higher up, and I per-
ceived that there are regular patrols and watchmen
at night who look after levees and the negroes ; a
number of dogs are also loosed, but I am assured
by a gentleman, who has written me a long letter
on the subject from Montgomery, that these dogs
do not tear the negroes ; they are taught merely to
catch and mumble them, to treat them as a retriever
well broken uses a wild duck. Next day I left the
hospitable house of Governor Roman, full of regard
for his personal character and of wishes for his
happiness and prosperity, but assuredly in no de-
gree satisfied that even with his care and kindness
the " domestic institution" can be rendered tolerable
or defensible, if it be once conceded that the negro is
a human being with a soul—or with the feelings of a
man. On these points there are ingenious hypo-
theses and subtle argumentations in print " down
South" which do much to comfort the consciences of
the anthropoproprietors. The negro skull won't
hold as many ounces of shot as the white man's-
Can there be a mere potent proof that the white
man has a right to sell and to own a creature who
carries a smaller charge of snipe dust in his head?
He is plantigrade and curved as to the tibia!
Cogent demonstration that he was made expressly
to work for the arch-footed, straight-tibia'd Cau-
casian. He has a rote mucoston and a coloured
pigment. Surely, he cannot have a soul of the same
colour as that of an Italian or a Spaaiard, far less
of a flaxen-haired Saxon ! See these peculiarities
in the frontal sinus—in sinciput or occiput ! Can
you doubt that the being with a head of that
nature was made only to till, hoe, and dig for an-
other race ? Besides, the Bible says that he is a
son of Ham, and prophecy must be carried out in
the rice swamps, sugar canes, and maize fields of
the Southern Confederation. It's flat blasphemy
to set yourself against it. Our Saviour sanctions
slavery because he does not say a word against it,
and it's very likely that St. Paul was a slaveowner.
Had cotton and sugar been known he might have
been a planter ! Besides, the negro is civilised by
being carried away from Africa and set to work
instead of idling in native inutility. What hope is
there of Christianising the African races except by
the agency of the apostles from New Orleans,
Mobile, or Charleston, who sing the sweet songs of
Zion with such vehemence and clamour so fervently
for baptism in the waters of the " Jawdaru ?" If
these high physical, metaphysical, moral, and re-
ligious reasonings do not satisfy you, and you ven-
ture to be unconvinced and to say so, then I advise
you not to come within reach of a mess meeting of
our citizens, who may be able to find a rope and a
tree in the neighbourhood.

informed them they were going in a wrong direc-
tion. They retraced their steps, and again his
father led the way down another lane and then
another, which brought them to the back of Orleans
House by the stables. The son wondered, but ex-
pected there must be some reason for this. They
did not enter the house, but again turned on one
side, which led the young gentleman to suppose his
father was going up to the entrance. They got up
this lane, to where it turned almost at a right angle
facing a shady nook. The lane went on for a short
distance, and then made another turn at a similar
short angle. When the baron reached the spot he
halted his horse at the corner, and gave a serutinis-
, ing look both ways. No one was to be seen. The
young Alfred had ridden on, but his father's voice
soon brought him back, as he told him they were
all wrong, and must come back. The youth was
then on his father's left hand, and had only returned
a few paces when he felt a violent blow, and on
locking round to see whence it proceeded saw the
baron advancing upon him with his hand uplifted,
and something in it, preparing to strike him. The
blow fell a second time on the alarmed youth, and

boy's forehead, cut and battered, was streaming
with gore. Impulse made him press on his horse,
and as the horse rose to the spur it caught the blow
on its head. That moment saved the youth's life,
for he saw coming round the corner a man and a
woman. Without an instant's delay, he slipped or
fell from his horse, rushed towards the woman, and,
in an agony of terror, poor youth! clung to her
knees, saying, " Oh protect me—save me.
The man was John Rivers, a labourer, and as he
was coming from Sion-row, down Orleans-road, he
had seen the two gentlemen riding up from the
Thames towards him. He saw the elder gentlemen
strike suddenly at the younger one, hit him on the
forehead with a whip (as he thought), the handle of
which was bright at the end that struck the poor
youth's face. He saw the young fellow's hat fal-
-1 ling off, and heard him cry out, " Oh ! don't, pray
don't ;" but the eldest advanced upon the younger,
and when the young man slipped off his horse and
ran forward, the elder gentleman ran forward too,
calling out " Hoy ! hoy ! here is your hat," and he
had almost caught the youth, but the latter ran,
and fell at the woman's feet, imploring aid, his fore-
head streaming with blood.
At this moment they had reached a spot where
was standing another man, John Evans, a barge-
man. He saw the young Alfred's face covered with
blood, and that he came crouching like some hunted
and terrified beast all shuddering for its life, cower-
ing down as he cried out " Help me ; protect me ;
save me !" He saw, too, the Baron de Vidil (who
wore a white hat, and had a riding-whip in his
hand) come, or rather run up, and ask in an agitated
manner—" What is it ? what has happened ?" and
the baron made a lush at a gate by the roadside
leading to a field down the Thames, and tried to get
over it, though John Evans told him there was no-
thing on the other side ' • but, though he shook very
much, he still persisted, and in his haste and tre-
mulousness slipped as he got over and tore his
hands with the hook nails that were on the top of
the gate, and went on two or three paces to be-
hind some shrubs. The young de Vidil was
bleeding profusely, and John Evans supporting
him. " Oh, lam so glad you are here," said
the poor ' young man, "Do not, do not
leave me." " No, I'll not leave you," replied John
Evans ; " but how did it happen ?" The youth
opened his mouth to speak, but his eyes fixed with
a terrified stare as he saw his father's eye steadily
gazing on him, and he heard him murmur some-
thing about a wall and a fall. And so they pro-
ceeded, supporting him bleeding, to the nearest
pnblichouse on the road. " Why did you get over
the gate?" inquired John Evans of the baron. " To
fetch assistance," was the ready reply. " How did
it happen ?" in quired John Everett, another labourer,
who came up as he saw the group and the bleeding
than. " How did it happen ?" " Oh, the young gen-
tleman stood up in his saddle to look over a wall,"
was the father's reply, "and his horse reared, and
so he fell ; but to John Evans he said the horse
shied and threw the boy against the wall.
They washed and bathed young Alfred's wounds,
and, to his terror, his father wished to assist in the
operation, but he became alarmed and clung to
John Evans and begged not to be left. Then a sur-
geon came, and to him he communicated his desire
that that gentleman's assistant should accompany
him to town, for he dreaded a lonely journey and
a solitary night with that fearful man. The sur-
geon, Dr. Clarke, of Twickenham, who imagined
something was not as it should be, consented to the
proposal and saw it carried out. He examined the
wounds, which he considers to have been produced
by some weapon like a life-preserver, and declares
that no fall from a horse or otherwise could have
produced the same wounds as are on the head and
forehead of the young Alfred John de Vidil.
The two horses meantime had been caught, and
blood was seen on the mane of one horse and on
the saddle. The baron accompanied his son to
tog n, and stayed with him, greatly to his terror,
until 12 at night; but the young man would not
part with the assistant, nor could any cleverness
on the part of the baron induce that trusty assist-
ant to suit the side of his charge. Early next morn-
ing, convinced that his father's intention had been
to murder him, and conscious that his life stood in
dangerous interposition between his father and
the enjoyment by that person of his mother's for-
tune, the youth withdrew in alarm from so
dangerous a vicinity, and went, almost with the
morning's light, to his uncle's house in one of the
home counties. But even there his father seemed
to follow him, for a letter came to his uncle inform-
ing him of the accident, and how young Alfred had

" This work is the production of a surgeon whose special
attention has been directed, through a long professional life,
to the treatment of strictures of the urethra. The cases
which Mr. Courtenay has given supply ample evidence of his
great discriminative power in the diagnosis of the various
kinds of stricture, and of the scientific principles upon which
their management is founded. By his systematic management
an immense mitigation of pain to the unhappy sufferers is
attained, and future mischief prevented. The work we can
most unreservedly and confidently recommend as a valuab_
contribution, both to the general and professional reader, and
ought to be found in the private study of all who are subject

After long experience, deep researches into chymistry,
by the aid of costly machinery, I have discovered the means
whereby oats, beans, and olicake may be entirely dispensed
with in the feeding of horses and cattle. I have now invented
a compound meal, composed of locust beans, Indian eorn.
linseed, &c., at £l6 per ton, which is equal in value to £24
worth of oats, beans, or any other feeding material in the
market. Two quarts of this compound meal, weighing 31bs.,
at the cost of 5d., mixed with a peck of chopped hay, is a feed
for a draught horse, and superior in every respect to three

an attempt not merely at niurder, butthe Murder
of a son by a father, a man of rank, of distinguished
manners and position, moving in the best society.
Nor is the crime one of darkness or of secrecy ; it
was perpetrated—if accounts be true, and. unfor-
tunately, there is no reason to doubt them—in broad
daylight, within a few paces of a frequented high-
road, in a populous neighbourhood, and not many
yards away from a palace which the perpetrator of
the crime was apparantly en his way to visit, after
cs.lling and being received as a welcome guest at
another residence of the same royal family.
The story about to be told is unparalleled in the
annals of crime, in the romance of private life, or in
those stories of domestic tragedy familiar to every
English fire-sick.
For some years past there has moved in London
society an individual commonly known as the
Baron de Vislil. In manners polished, in address
insinuating; tall, graceful, elernt, and accom-
plished ; of brown complexion, in ripened man-
hood, with hair still black and cut short, as of one
who remembered his campaign in Algeria, and how
very much that hair had been in the way when an
Arab seized it in close contest ; with whiskers just
powdered by time; reputed wealthy; coming into
society under the respectable name of the Orleans
family, with the romantic reputation of fidelity to a
fallen dynasty, no wonder that the Baron Alfred
Louis Pons de Vidil readily found his way, under
such auspices, into the heart and centre of London
society. Such a man came, saw, and conquered.
In 1835 he married Miss Susannah Jackson, co-
heiress to a wealthy Hertfordshire gentleman, and
found his associations with English society
strengthened by his " family" ties with the brother
of his wife, a gentleman of ancient family and pro-
perty. Hence he soon became a member of the
Travellers' Club. When the premature death of his
wife had freed him from the constraint of domestic
ties, he lived a bachelor at the Clarendon, and when
the attractions of the London season were over, he
was lost sight of by the gay world for a time. This
foreign nobleman of pleasant manners, reputed
wealth, and matured experience, had a son, the heir
of a large portion of his mother'sfortune (to descend
to his father if he died without heirs). This son,
having graduated at Cambridge, was now 23 years
of age, and was in a position to claim his fortune.
The father had not permitted the gaities of fashion-
able life to make him forget the pleasures of a pa-
78n—t ,tahnadt

bFarriodnay, sent June
his son's chambers in Jermyn-street, inviting him
to come to breakfast with him at the Clarendon,
and go with him to make a call on the ex-Queen of
France, at Claremont. They left the Clarendon to-
gether at 12 o'clock, and proceeded to Waterloo
station, where they took the 12 45 train to Twicken-
ham, and there alighted. It will be remembered
that there is an inn close by the Twickenham sta-
tion, and thither, at the Baron de Vidil's sugges-
tion, his son, Alfred John de Vidil, went with him,
and the baron having selected two horses, it was
settled they should ride on to Claremont, about six
or seven miles distant. The baron handed his son
a light lady's riding whip, and asked for one for
himself, but started without it. On nearing Clare-
mont the baron at first wished to put lip at an inn
and take some refreshment, but afterwards went
forward a short distance to see whether any of the
Orleans family were at the palace. Having ascer-
, tained the presence of the Duc d'Orleans, they re-
turned to the inn, put up their horses, and walked
to Claremont House. The Duc d'Orleans received
the Baron de Vidil as an honoured guest, and
chatted with him in a friendly manner on vari-
ous subjects for nearly an hour. The father and
son then returned together to the inn, remounted
their horses, and proceeded gently at a walking pace
homeward. It was at this time his son became im-
pressed with a strangeness in his father's manner, a
singular absorption on his part, which led him, from
some unknown impulse, to lay particular attention

the doors being thrown open for the admission of the public,
boy and his father were called forward, when the Mayor
said; with regard to your boy having come
to the knowledge of the magistrates, they have determined
not to enforce the punishment. Mr. Keyes (the agent of

the insurance-office), at whose instance the prosecution had
been instituted, now informed the Bench that he had re-
ceived a letter from the office, which he wished to lay be-
fore them. Alderman Masters—We have looked into the
document you handed in on Monday, and we find it, not to
be law. Mr. Trimmell—Besides,lthe penalty would have
gone to the borough fund, and not to the office. Mr.
Keyes—Then, am I to write to say that the magistrates
have reversed their conviction? Alderman Masters—We
shall not enforce it. The matter then dropped.
