to remind one of other cilice?even the

cry from the gondolier, a broken ?ong,
and now and then the chime of bells
which mingle in chorus from nearly
two hundred churches. The very architecture
of houses and palaces is po
culiar, and as the eye takes in color,
lines, and sculpture^ it glides down to
the water which makes a restless line
at the ha?e, and reflects' every part in
its pale green mirror. Onto of the

when the sun lies on the water, these
colors mingle with the sunbeams, malt

and is like a dream of the goldenpaved

Great Scandal in the Qutcn's flench?
the Hereditary Grand Chamberlain
of England in a Fix.
Oo (lift 1st of February an action, in
which the Conntess d'Alleyrac was the
pUiniiH, atul Lord WiJIoughhy d'Eres
by, lire Hereditary Grand Chamberlnin
of England, the defendant, was brought
before the Court of Queen's Bench,
Lor.dop.
In 1847 lUe Conntess d'Alleyrao was
tlie wife of an officer of high podtion
and connections "in France.. Ilor husband
was traveling, "he formed the acquaintance
Of lhedefendaut, and in 1840
she h-fi her husband and came to Eng
land to live with Lord Willougliby d'Erbe?>v
as Iris wife. She was visited by many
of his friends, and for rnauy years lived
bappilv with him. Shu (elided him
very aflVcdntialely during a long illness,
and on his recovery, they removed
from town to Cacti Lodge. Twickenham,
which wo* partly purchased by the
Countess's money and ftirni-hed at her
expense. They had one daughter, i\)ro
was brought up in ignorance of the fact
thai her father and mother wore not
man and wifo. Up to 1804, when iho
Countess went over to Paris to bring
her daughter to London, no great ditto
renee had arisen between herself and
Lord W'lloughby, except that occasioned
bv soine scandal ahnut Lord WilloughbyV
behaviour to oneof the maids;
but on the Countess's teturn she was
told by nn Agent of Lord Willoughby
that she mn?t give op possession of
Caen Lodge, which she considered as
her * property. She refused, and whs
then waited on bv a friend of his lordship,
who negotiated h separation on
the understanding that an allowance of
?1200 a year, and ?4000 down should
be made loathe Coittess, togelliVr with
an adequate provision for her daughter.
These teima were not constJeied unreasonable,
as Lord Willoughby has an
income of ?70,000 or ?80.000 a year.
The Connies* then left Caen Lodge, the
furniture of which was sold, and renl*
ized ?8000. None of this money was
given to her, and of the promised al
!o? anco shw received only ?300. She
never saw Lord Willoughby after her
rc*urn from Paris, and her maid
was soon after instilled mistress
of Caen Lodge. The action was
brought to recover the money realized
by the sale of lite furniture. The key
to Lord Willoughby'a conduct was to
Ire found ill the fact that the bulk of
the property be inherit ad from hi? father
was left bim on condition of bis
separating from the Counters. The
Lord Chief Justice intimated that the
whole matter had heller be referred to
the arbitration of a man of honor, and
the counsel ou both sides seemed to
think that this would he the most desirable
course. Mr Coleridge handed
to the Lord Chief Justice a draught of
ihe terms to which his client the Countess
would consent, but, as Lord Willouglihy
was not in low a, the case was
adjourned until tha following Monday.
The family of the Willoughby
d'Erashjr is one of the most ancient

n ...... ...j. ...?
holder of tlio title is for the time being
the hereditary Grand Chamberlain of
England; and the pie*ent lord, who is
defendant in thie suit, is the fortieth
barren in a direct line. What is
thought of his nobility in the Com I of
Queen's Ilench may be judged by the
following peroration of Mr. Coleridge's
speech, in which the Lord Chief Justice
by the eourse he pursued, seemed en
tirely to agree.
Mr. Coletidge said : It was 'rue that
she bad not been married to the defendant,
but the absence of the religious
obligation# would make the relations
between them, under the circumstances,
in some respects more sacred to a man
of honor. She had left her husband
for him, had borne him * daughter,
and lived with him for fifteen years.'?
She was as faithful to him as woman
ever waa to man. In health and in
sickness she devoted herself to him
with unwearied attention.' Sho had
but one fault; and if be had in bint
one spark of the feelings of a gentleman,
it did not lie in his mouth to reproach
her wiih it. Of course, In the
abetract, those things are wrong; but
io wuai extent iney are wrong, end
whet the complexion of this or that
cane, it ie not for man to jjdge.?
Burns wrote :
r "What's done wo all eao woll compute,
, But Dover what's resisted."
There may be men who have never
strayed beyond the sacred circle of leg*
ilitnate love. I*et them thank God for
it; but let no man set hhn*elf up as a
judge of those who here. Men of the
highest gifts of heert and mind, men
of stainless honor, men whose live*, in
other respects were patterns of erery
grace and every excellence and every
virtura, had in this respect departed
front the true standard of morals ;.'but
it would be miserable cant and hypoc
icy to deny on that recount tbe blgb
end noble qualities they possess. The

influence. Being no, he seized her
wretched furniture end turned liur into
the street. Hut let the Lord High
Chamheilain of England, the ma/t
whose duty it was to marshal the nobles
of the country to the throne of the
Sovereign?let him say in that action :

gentleman, have sold your property,
and have the proceeds ; but you are a
mart led woinnn?von cannot main tain
this action. I will advantage of
thia legal technicality to defeat your

sou led and pure minded Royal mistress
what manner of acinus her Chamberlain
commits ; and let liitn add that he
resorted to a defence which miserably
failed?a defence as had in law as ii
was unfounded in honesty and honor.
[Applause ]
The ca*e terminated on the 3d of
February by a reference to aibitration.
The Lord Chief Justice was to appoint
the referee.
The Chief Justices Marshall and
Chase
The Phi'sdetphia Age alludes lo the
trial of Burr a* evidence of the honora
Me manner in which the character of
the judiciary wps maintained on that
occasion. It says:
Mr. Chaso'a action thus far has reallv
been so purely formal that it affords no
indication of the course lie will pursue
upon the trial. lie stands on a pinnical,
on which he is seen bv all the
world. When all the impeachera are
forgotten, he will be remembered as the
first Chief-Justice who sat in jinlg

Slate*. No man has more of character
at stake in the case than he has?not
even the Bcc<i?ed. Much of the great
reputation of John Marshall was made
in one Stale trial. Judicial impartiality,
in ordinary case*, is too common an at*
tribute to win any renown, though the
lack of It would deserve infamy.?
Aaron Purr, when he appearod for trial
before Chief Justice Marshall, was the
most unpopular man in America. He
hnd reconlly kilted, in a duel, the bril
rthnl' leader of the Federalists. Alexander
Hamilton. Hamilton and Mardiqll
had been in' the war of tho Revolution,
and in the war of politics, intimate as
eocia'.ea and warm friends. Jly a singular
fate, Purr by bis rivalrv tyith Mr.
Jefferson, flie leader of the Deinoorats,
had incurred his enmity, lie it was
who, as President, called Purr's arrest
and urged his conviction on the charge
of treason. History has cleared the
fame of Purr of this imputation ; but,
at the time, nothing saved him from
conviction hut the stern integrity of
Marshall, who saw before him, not tho
detested murderer of hi* friend?not
the object of the two great parlies' bate
?but only a citizen, guiltless of the
particular crime imputed to him, and
