a Calmuck. He might have called in
clemency to minister to victory-that an
gel whose presence will purify even camps
but he did the very reverse. Ney, La
boydere, and the other victims of his victo-
ry, were sacrificed to the peculiar British
God, EXPEDIENCY. For saving Lavalette,
he plucked the epaulettes from the shoul-
ders of young Hutchinson, at the head of
his regiment.
Conqueror of Napoleon indeed The

AS a statesman we cannot assign him a
high place. His forte was in resisting
charges in their first stages, and in know
ing when he was beat With such ruler
successful demagogueism was sure to con-
quer. Hence the merit of the very meas
ures he conceded was given to others-of
Emancipation to O'Connell, of Reform to
Brougham, of Free Trade to Golden. He
was disciple of Peel's school in politics
a school, which is explained, by the single

European Murders.

A Partisan correspondent, writing under
date of Sept. 6, says The Vienna papers
give an account of horrible affair thus !:
A peasant sold at fair pair of oxen and
on his return, having been drinking rather
too much, he placed the money he had re-
ceived, in a girGle which he fastened round
his daughter, who accompanied him. On
passing through wood, man stopped
them and demanded the money. The peas
ant denied having any. The man know
ing that he had sold the oxen, seized him
by the he'r and dragged him a little way
into the wood There two other men join
ed the first, and the three murdered the
peasant The daughter distinctly saw the
crime perpetrated. She took flight, reach
ed cottage, told the inmate, woman, of
what had occurred, and said she had the
mony on her. This money the woman
took and fastened in drawer, and, in COM
pliance with the prayer of the girl, secreted
her in an adjoining bed-chamber.
The three men then came, told of their
crime, and one, it seems, was the woman's 5
husband. Thereupon she, with a loud
laugh, said the daughter was in the next
room, and she produced the belt, to their
great JOY. Inc lneu IecolleCIliiS thaO 'ii0
girl could betray them, resolved at once to
destroy her, and the plan they agreed on
was to burn her to death in the oven, and
soon the girl heard the flames cracking
Desperately she sought the means of es>
cape, and finding the wall was of clay, she
was able to make hole large enough to
creep through. Escaping, and meeting
gems d'armes, the whole party of wretches
were captured.
A Belgian trial for murder is not less
singular; A brutal character, whose wife
had been forced to leave him owing to hi
bad conduct, strangled her slowly in wood,
and then cody went to the Mayor and re
ported that his wife's body had been dis
covered But it SO happened that lad on
the look out for bird nests, was aloft and
saw the transaction, though afraid to make
a noise. This witness was decisive, and
the murderer was condemned to death.
Crimes Of murder-young men killing
their mistresses for jealousy-are not of
rare occurrence in France; and the philoso-
ply of murder here shows less regard for
woman than with US, always saving the
wholesale murder of travellers.

Whence, then, was his greatness? 1t
consisted in his self-control, his tenacity,
and his love of labor. He was something
of the mastiff and bulldog breed mixed:
He was fine sample of the material
sublime Fortune was not his mistress,
but rather his waiting woman; as such he
commanded and she obeyed, Though their
relation was neither romantic nor cordial, it
lasted for the Dukes lifetime. She kept
him abundantly supplied, from Assaye to
Waterloo, and these supplies, delivered
with counting house precision, were one
cause of his Peninsular success. Still VI.
doubtedly he had that within him, which
commanded success, and without which ev-
ery material aid would have failed him
Half century from the day of his burial,
the verdict of history will, we doubt not,
be. that he stands among the first, IN the
second class, of materially great men-in
other words tx men of the world"
As a Christian, the less said of him the
better. No one ever heard areligious sen.
