How- ever, it was found impossible to arzeat him, until she herself mvoluntarily betrayed hu by a letter ,she wrote from the prison, addressed to Don | Thaddeo Santia, Madrid. At this period it was | the custom in Spain to hang out a list of letters | brought by the post, addresses of which were not | sufficiently explicit. Santiago threw hinself into | the coils that were spread for him Soon after | the two were brought to trial. She was one of the most beautiful women of Madrid, and belonged to one of its mest ancient families; but the judges were inflexible. Both the lady and her paramour were sentenced to death, and they were accord- ingly exequted. Until the Jast moment they sv- lemnly protested that they were innocent; but, just as the fatal cord was adjusted about their necks, they made a full eonfeasion of their guilt, and acknowledged the justice of their seatence. the interest of the sex to see the Jaws thus vindi- ' cated, than it would have been te turn the trial | into a farce and allow the guilty to escape ? Oue ot the most remarkable cases in criminal | dnuals is that of Madame Gottfreid. In 1825 a | gentleman named Rumpff established himself in a house in Bremen, which belonged to and was also inhabited by a widow lady of the above name, who, by common consent, was a charming wo- man, and who was as much celebrated for her kindness and gentleness of manner as she was for her beauty. But all regarded her as unfortu- nate, and they sympathized with her accordingly ; they thought it a great pity that such a good wo- man should have lost two husbands, her father. mother, brother, and several children, all in the course of a féw brief yeara. She used tu lament herself, with tears in ber eves, that she had to perform the painful duty of ordering thirteen coffins of the undertaker; but she added that she had the consolation ot knowing that she bad ten- derly nursed all her lost friends, never leaving their bedside until they were beyoud the reach of all earthly aid. Although now forty years of age, she had still claimants for ier baud, fer the worst thought entertained about her was that she had a poison- ous breath, which was fatal to all who inbaled it at certain times or under certain circumstances. Partly for this reasun, and partly for ill luck, the friends of Mr. R. tried to dissuade him from es- tablishing himselfin the house. In many features of his character this gentleman was like Dr. Bur- dell, the victim 6f a woman whose character is still more like Madame Gottfreid, Rumpff had no faith in the reasons assigned by his friends, and he had uo idea of resigning a residence thut suited, on absurd grounds. Unhke Dr. Bardell, Mr. Rumpff had a wife and family. For some time, however, the latter seemed te have great reason to congratulate himself, and his wife was if pessible still better pleased with the change than himneell, for Madawe Gottfreid seewed to have no other care but to render herself agree- able to both, aud to dv all iu her power for the ebildren. Such were the relations, for eight weeks, when the general joy was interrupted by the sudden death of Madame Rumpff, who was seized with a v oleut vomitting two or three days after her con- finewent. Nothing could exceed che attention of Madame Gottfreid, aud so well did she play her part, that the chief conselation of the dying wo- man in ber last moments, while writhing in agony, Was, that she left behind her a kind friend In the centre Athe tloor, With defeated look aiternate Bent on me and ov tie door. Then, as from a sudden impulse, Quickly ran he to the fire, And while eagerly his bright eyes Watched the tlames go higher aud higher ; In a brave clear tone he shouted Like sume lordly little elf, **Sauta Claus come down the chimney, Make my moder ‘have herself!" “ I will be a good yirl, Eddy,” Said I, feeling the reproof, And straightway recalled poor Harney, Mewing on the gallery roof ; Soon the anger was forgotten, Laughter chased away the frown, Aud they played beneath the live ouke Till the dusky night came down. In my dim, fire-lighted chamber Harney purred beneath my chair. And my play wore boy beside me Kuelt to say his evening prayer, * God bless fader—God bless moder, God bless sister’’—then a pause, Aud the sweet young lips devoutly Murmured—* God blees Santa Claus !"’ He is sleeping; brown and silken Lie ti:2 lashes long and meek, Like caressing, clinging shadows On his plump and peachy cheek !

AN (From the Quarterly Review.) Until the “ Don Quixote’? of Cervantes gave false gallantry its death blow in Spain, nothing was more common than the murder of busbands by their wives, But that justly celebrated work opened the eyes of all classes to the injurious tendency of the oetiens then prevalent as to the manner in which a woman ought te be encouraged, even in her crimes. Ever since, women have been held responsible for their conduet quite as wuch as men; the former as well as the latter have been inexorably executed when found guilty We will quote ene case as an illus- tration of that of Doana Maria Modivis, of Ma- drid, whe, toward the close of the last century, excited horrer and amazement throughout Spain by the assassinatiun of her husband. It was found, on investigation, that her paramour, Don Santiago San Juan, committed the deed at ber instigation while her husband was lying sick and helpless in bed. She had made such arrangements as enabled the assassin to escape after the commission of the crime, without being discovered by the servants. That she had not committed the murder with her own band was evident to all, but she was imme- diately arrested, nevertheless, and safely lodged in prison. It was supposed that Santiago was absent from Madrid at the timeof the oecurreace. Now, need we ask how much better it wae for | Was too conclusive tu be set aside, she persistently | by Nannette. who knew her—would be guilty of poisoning her own friends? A fady, too, coniiuued another, who could see no one in pain or misery without shedding tears? Nor was this any misrepresen- ‘ tation, for she wept while her victims writhed in | the agonies of death, and called on God to pity them and release them from their sufferings.

THE FENIAN GOVERNMENT. (From the Torouto Leader, Dec. 5.) Such is the name which the New York Herald gives to men who, if the Moffat Mansion, Union Square, New York, are exchanging their worth- less bonds for United States greenbacks at the rate of $20,000 a week. If this were kept up it would place about $1,040,000 a year at the dis- posal of King O'Mahoney and his asaoeiates. But out of it, the expenses of the “Government,” which are apparently not on a very frugal seale, the rent paid for their headquarters being $12,- 000 a year, has to be paid. As the Fenian Go- vernwent is fashioned after that of the United States, President O’Maboney ought to get as large a salary as President Johnson. This is the more reasonable since he is described as an “incessant worker,” “ ecustantly on duty,” pule of face as it bore duwn by the weight of bis offivial duties. But this we are assured is an error; for, accord- ing to the Herald, “ his head and brain are fresh and clear; aud withal he is such a master uf the Fenian situation that he dues his work with com- parative ease.” We surely do aot over-estimate ‘he value of the services of such a man in putting it duwn at $25,000 a year. The President is surrounded by a crowd of private secre- taries, “assiduously employed during many hours of the day ;” a coufidential sort of labour must be highly paid, or the secrets of the brother- hood would be in danger of being sold. There ia, besides, a host of other officials on the civil Jist of Mr. G’Mahuney, and they must, of course, be paid ‘9 protect her ornhaps and comfort ber bereaved husband; and to all appearances her hopes ana wishes were fulfilled tu the letter. So friendly aud affectionate was she to the childrev: that they called her no other uname than Aunt Gottfreid. The infant was dving quite well, but the nurse who had charge of it became sv extremely ji!) that she had to leave, declaring that whatever was the reason, she felt she could never be well as Jong as she remained in the house. Nor did Mr. Rumpff's apprentices fare better ; they, too, were seized-in turn with vivlent fits of vowitting, and some three months after his wife’s death, he became il] himself in a similar manner. Being a strong, robust man, he struggled reso- lutely te overcome the supposed malady, but in vain; he could keep nothing on the stomach; everything he ate caused him the most excruciat- ing agouies, and bis health declined from day to day. In about two weeks he lost the use of his fingers and tues, and became as weak aa an iu- fant. In the midst of all his suffering, the idea of poison never occurred to him; but be thought there might be sume decaying substance about tke house which exhaled it. He made a close search fur the supposed substance, causing the boards of the floor to be lifted, the walls to be opened, &c., but with no result. It is not strange that in time his mind began to doubt whether, after all, there might not really be some evil spirits that pursue wankind to their destruction, wasting their bodies and withering their miuds. These doubts he first expressed to Aunt Gott- freid, but she teld him tv trust in God, that she would watch over him like a mother, and when he deseribed tu her his sleepless nights of anguish, she earnestly wished him such sweet rest as blessed her own pillow. This state of things went on for ayear, the patient growing weaker and weaker from day to day, until fivally all re- garded him as near his end. As usual with him in the spring, he ordered a pig to be killed for his family, and his butcher seut him a small choice bit of the animal totaste. Finding that it agreed with bis stemaeb, unlike anythiog be bad recently taken, he deposited the remains in a closet for his next day’s luncheon; but when he came to tuke it at the proper time, he found iL was not as he had left it; and looking more closely, he was startled by perceiving sume grains vf white powder spriukled over it. This attracted his attentioa all the more readily because he remembered to have remarked the sauie appearance vu some salad breth, aud ciher articles which he had received frem the hands of Aunt Gottfried. The suspicion of poison now occurred to him for the first time ; he said nothing, however, but privately sent fur his physician. A | chemical examination soon revealed the mystery ; the white powder proved to be arsenic. The diseovery was made on the Sth of March, police found her in bed. She protested that she was unable to leave, no matter what was their business with her, for this she pretended to have no suspicion of. It will be remembered that Mrs. Cunningham affected to be very iil also, and that it was deemed very improper to shock her feelings in such state. It was otherwise, however, in the case of Madame Gottfried, for she was forcibly and the day following she was arrested. The | according te the importance of the situations they \ trong: the quality of the men themselves. The Treasury fareactfpploys a Treasurer; and as this is an office of peculiar™st, $10,000 a | O'Mahoney. Naval Department is not fully organized; and | our reticent informant does not think it proper, at this time, to state what is being dune with re- gard to it. The Herald advises the Federal Go- vernment to sell the Fevians the Shenandoah. If, the United States Government wich to seize the arms, and thus prevent a threatened breach of | neutrality, they will find them on the fourth : choice dairy land, and being bounded’ on three storey. Ii is useless to go. into any nice caleulationa of : the expense of keeping up so anaguificent and efficient an establishment as this. But we think | the public as well in Ireland as the States will | agree with us that President O'Mahoney dues | well to keep a Government of the first class as | this is on the petty sum of $1,040,000 a year. | But it is quite probable that they are duing it on | lese—and thet would make the miracle of eco- | nomy all the wore startling—for it must be _re-} membered that we have only the authority of the Herald for putting the weekly receipts at $20,. 000. And then, such ia the degeneracy of Suman | nature, it is possible that the patriotism even of | Fenian nature may not continue thia rate of ¢on- tribution fur a rouwd year. The trusting serving maids add confiding emigrant Lrish labourers to the States, who have assisted the Treasury, may begin to desire to see some result of their contri- butions befure that time. This would no doubt be very unreasunable, The task they have un- dertaken—the freeing of the Emerald Isle from the hated yoke of the Saxon stranger—is not a light matter aud will take time to accomplish. The constituents of Feniandom should therefore be patient, trustful, unsuapicious, aud pay their present taxes of $20,000 a week with the cheer- *! alacrity of unconquerable patriots. The Hervéid —-** as showman for any one who desires to know about Fenianism as much as it is “proper” to disclose. We have by its aid already had a look at the lubor-worn fuce of Prerideut Let us now see bow he and his advisers con- duct the administration, A Cabinet Counc, we are given to understand, is held every day. “At appointed hours the President has interviews with the beads of departmenis, or cabinet ses- sieus, at which a bedy of executive couneiliors, representing the Fenian Senate, are sometiines present, giving adviee and evnisel on matters affecting the interest of the Fenian Government.” Chat is the way to conquer Canada and liberate frelaud; at least it is the Fenian way of daing them. A word about the alleged doings of the Order near hume. The New York Herald's correspon- dent, in this city, insists on the bona fide state- went of the strength of the Order in Canada, sv far as he is cuncerned. He atteinpes to get over the difficulty which we puinied out in the figures by saying that a great many others than Irish Cathulies sy wpathige with or are members of the order. This makes the matter worse than be- fore. Nubody has ever seen vue of thuse strange Fenians or Fenian sywpathizers; and if they had existed iv the numbers stated, some of them would have revealed themselves lung ago. are ----- Mvtrxy on Boarp a Britisn Price. — Fort- ress Munroe, Nov. 26, 1865.— The United States revenue cutter Kankakee, Capt. Slicer, brought in tow to-day the Euglish barque Copsie, the second mate and crew of which had mutinied. The Copsie was on her way from Liverpool] to Baltimore. Between Wolftrap and the Capes the mutiny first de- veloped itself, and it is not unlikely thata fear- ful and bloody tragedy would have been enact- ed had not the Kankakee, while ou a cruising tour, happened in the vicinity. The captain and his mate were the only ones to oppose the mutineers. Seeing the signal of distress the year would hardly be tio much for Mr. hone. ; for that is the name of this functionary. Then there are his “chiet clerk, subordinate clerks, &c., the same as ove would find in any well regulated establishipent anywhere,’ All these functionaries wust get the average pay of their class, in Europe or Aimerica. The “ Fesian Movernment,” whieb begins by selecting a sump'ucus residence, cannot be niggard)y in the salaries it pzys its function- aries. That would be a piece of allabbyness ot which it would never be guilty. Presidént O’Ma- honey’s government must be princely in the salaries paid ga well as in the taste it diepleys in the selee- tiun of a Goveremental building. The War De- partinent is one of the most important under the Feuian Goveroment ; for without loud threate and apparently great preparatious for war, the bonds could aot be expected to go off, at anytiing like a satisfactory rate, and without funds this “ mag- nificeut and political wovement,”’ would necessa- rily collapse. There is one arrangement of this Government which, we thiuk, might be made the subject of grievance ; and the director of the War Depart- ment would probably rebel, if the treasury were not master of the situation, as being of more real importance than the War Office. We allude td the circumstance of the Treasury Department being on the first fluor, and that of the War Ot- fice aloft to the third floor, The head of this department is no novice; bet on the contrary, if we accept the authority of the Herald, one of the most distinguished military heroes that this or avy other age has produced, He is described as “one of the most gallant and distinguished officers of the late war. His reputation as a heroic sol. dier began in the Mexican war—he having lost his right arm at the battle of Cherubusco—and bas been enhanced by his services in Missouri, under the lamented Lyons, and other bloody battle-fields of the rebellion. He holdaa com- mission as colonel in the regular United States service.” Why thia veteran asked the reporter to suppress bia name we cunnot say; but this imust be the case as it is wet given, Ot his Adju- tant we are peraitted to kuuw the naiawe. “He is Genery!

Seeing this spirit of determined mutiny on the part of the erew, at the request of the captain of the barque the Kankakee took the latter in tow and brought her into Hampton roads, as stated, where she now lies anchored, under custody of the Kankakee. The crew was shipped in Baltimore, and are altogether a dan- gerous and desperate set of men. There was no lezitimate cause for the revolt, as the barque is staunch and sea-worthy, and the men had re- eegived the usual advance, and had no reason to complain of the treatment ofithe captain, The Copsie is loaded with corn. a.--sleomnellgilateltilinaoanmes Tue Fisnertes or Tae GULF.—Commodore Fortin has made his anaual report of the fisheries in the Gulf of St. Lawrence, which has been printed for distribution.

These farmers expect, within three years, t- be milking upwards of four thousand cows “twice a day.” Mr, Howard, who has .vesn east this summer to visit friends in his native State for the first time sinee he went to Cali- fornia, has recently been inspecting the cheese manufactories in New York, Massachusetts, and our own Stete, with a view Of building one on their own farm.

Tue Civit Government OF New York It is stated in the papers that the time for tho election of a Mayor of thecity of New YorR is now near at hard, and in alluding to the fart the Herald says chat the municipal government has been brought toe such a condition that it but little difference who is cuief magistrate, and adds: —* However honest a man may be put in the a geod intentions > or may dave, he willbe utterly helpless. He cannot arrest, in even the slightest degree, che businees of plundering that is carried on agaiost in the innumerable municipal bureaus meats, This is « truth that tmust be er. to all who know the bistory of the office. This condition has been brought about by the necessity of legislating to protect tbe city from men whe secured the position of Mayor ouly to further theic scheines of pluuder. The state, observing out condition in this respect, came to tae rescue, and so tied the hands of the Mayer that many plen- dering plavs were no doubt thwarted.
