Sir Edward biiwer had concluded his address viii b

tings, there was an unwonted stir in the crowd
which parted to admit OF the passage of a hired
oroughsm from one of the town inns The carriage
having stopped. two ladies aiighted, one of them
sn extremely handsome woman Of abont forty iva
years OF age, with fresh complexion, and eyes of
dazzling beauty.
Tht lady, who was evidently lsboring under ex
cttement which exercised ali her powers 10 con.
'Foi' advanced as nearly as she could through the
crowd toward the hnstings, and announced herself
ss the wife of the Right Hon Sir f. b. Lytton.
stating that she had come according to a promise
made by her to confront her husband, and TO ex
pose the wrongs which she said he had inflicted
upon her,and which she had described in her work .
and in q pamphlet published by her.
The appearance of the lady was not nne < xpect.
ed, as her coming bad been announced in bills and
placards; but owing to deception which had been
practiced upon her by some persons in the town
who had introduced themselves to her. she was de
tanned in he town while tue election was proceed
ing ia the vicinity. Those in the secret antcipa.
ted that she would not discover the mistake nntil
the proceedings were over. and that her design
would be thus frustrated. IL was nearly so. Re.
cognized as soon as seen, her voice was nearly
drowned by the shouts of Sir Edwards supporters.
but Sir Edwards eye caught hers. and his face
pa'ed. lie looked like man suddenly attacked
10y paralysis. Those near him say he trembleL ex
ceediDgly. For q few moments he retained his
position in trout Of the hustugs, but turned his
back on the unwclcome visitor. Theu he suddenly
dtsappeared below the hustings platform, while
his wife cried "Coward!" aud he, having hastily
signed the usual declaration, escaped into the resi-.
dence OF the gentleman on whose grounds the
election took place.
Lady Lytton continued to address the audience
assembled ior more than quarter of an hour re-
pesting her statements in her pamphlet and as
serting her intention to confront her husband on
every possible occasion until she peled him to
redress her wrongs. Her ladysbip subsequently
made an application to the Mayor for the use of
the Town Hall for the purpose of making a public
statement; but this being refused her she left the
town early in the afternoon. Lady Lytton arrived in
Hertlord at O'Clock on the morning of the cleo
ton, having posted from Taunton, where she re.
sides. 1t is needless TO say that the event d.s.
crp q ha' caused the greatest possible excitement
n Hertfordshire."
