TRACKERAY ONBILW WEIR LIT-
TON.
From the Pail MaH Gazette.

from the IUU MW Gdztttf.
A correspondent sends from recollec-
ton the following stanzi from a ballad by
Thackeray ~, which may befound useful
in connection with this biography Of
Bulwer LyttoD as a sort Of m,emorid
technica Of his many names. 1t was
evidently written at the time of the re-
moval Of the body of Napoleon from st.
Helena to Paris:
"Were | but Sir Edwards Wiggate,
Bulwer Lytton Bulwer. Bart,
I should sing the Belle Peule frigate
In the highest style of art
From this it might be gathered that
the founder of the family was named
Wiggate; that he married a Bulwer, and
adding Bulwer to his name, obtained the
estate Of Norfolk: that subsequently a
married a Lytton, and adding
Lytton to his name, obtained the estate
in Hertfordshire. But no doubt we shall
hear all about these various names 10 the
forth coming volumes.

War is made upon the modern tendency

But the manner rather than the matter Of

Here is an example worthy the atten-

MOORISH FREEBOOT-
Err WAS CAPTURED.

A correspondent of the London Globe
gives an account Of the capture and exc
cutien of Cid Suleiman Ben Kader, an
Arab patriot chief, whose career in many
respects resembles that ofthe celebrated
Abd-el.K ader; The Cid, half brigand
and half partisan leader, gave the French
a serious amount of trouble manv years
ago: but, the fortune Of war going against
him, he escaped across the iron tire. was
arrested by order Of the father Of the
present sultan Of Morocco. and was in.
generated at Mequinez. But he escaped
across the frontier to Algeria. where he
once more entered on his favorite Occu-
patton o~ffreebooter, confinement, more
over, seems to have made him particu-
larry acrimonious, as he commenced sys
tematically to slaughter any OF the French
colonists who happened to fall into his
power. At last, however, being hard
pressed by the troops, he once more es.
caped across the Moorish frontier, and
carried on a spirited series Of depreda-
tons in Morocco, s9a
One expedition after another failed to

Archid, an uncle of the sultan, obtained
an interview with the rebel on the pre-
text Of arranging for the purchase of
some land claimed by the Cid, and, in
order that no undue advantage might be
taken by either party, it was agreed that
each should be attended by twenty i've

ries having been settled. the meeting took
place in a tent, and while the usual in

he was promptly decapitated, and his
head, having been packed in champion

transmitted to the sultan at Fee.
