The eelebrity which it has obtained in the county of Westchester, where it was originally intro duced. has induced the proprietor to extend its sale throughout the country. There has- n ever Vet been discovered an external rem edy that has proved so certain in its effects, in perm a nently curing the following diseases : R h e u m a t ism , S w e l l e d I a m b s , P a i n in the Chest or Back, Sprains, Bruises, Nervous Affections. W eakness in the Joints, Contrac tions of the Muscles, Burns, Croup, Salt- Rheum, Ague in the. Face, Tooth-Ache, &c. The following letters from the highly eminent Phyrioans who have had charge of the Hospi tal in the Sing Sing Prison for m any yeats, is j the nii.st powerful evidence in favor of this cel-, ejrated external remedy, and is a sufficient en.iraniy that it is worthy the confidence of the ?abhc.

Tito L e f t - H a n d G love ; O r C i r c u m s ta n tia l T e s t im o n y . On the sum m it of a hill near Muhlbach, a small town of Rhenish Prussia, there is a chapel dedicated to St. Joseph. Being a place of pil grimage, this chapel is on festival days visited by many of the inhabitants of the surrounding country ; but on other days of the y ear it seldom happen»that the soutfd of a hum an footstep dis turbs the sacred solitude. Very early on the morning of the I9th o f July, 1818, a peasant proceeding to work, was wend ing his way along a narrow path at the foot of the hill. . His dog was running before him .— Suddenly'the animal stopped short, and in an other moment darted off rapidly in the direction of the chapel. The dog soon returned to his master, howling piteously, a n d betrayed une quivocal signs of terror. The peasant quicken ed his pace, and turned directly into the path leading up to the chapel. On coming within sight of the portal ot the little edifice, he was horror-struck to behold, stretched on the steps, the lifeless body of a young man. The terrified peasant hurried to the neighbor ing village with tidings ot what he had seen.— The news spread with the swiftness of lightning, and in a very short space of time the magistrate of the (Iislrict, accompanied by the village doctor and schoolmaster, and followed by a crowd of country people, were ascending the hill in the direction of the chapel. The body was found precisely on the spot, and in the position described by the peasant.— It was the corpse of a very handsome young man ; part of the clothing, viz : the coat and waistcoat had been taken off, and beneath the shfft there was found a piece o f eioth of a bright red color, apparently the fragment of a shawl. This piece of cloth was laid in several folds over the region of the heart. It was fastened by a band of fine lawn or cambric, which was rolled round the body, and the whole was firmly fixed by a mass of congealed blood. On the careful removal ol these bandages, there was discover ed a deep wound, which had divided the carotid artery. The deceased wore light colored pant aloons, with boots and spurs, and on one of the fingers there was a massive gold signet ring — The ground round the spot where the body lay. exhibited no trace of any struggle ; but prints of fooisieps, partially obliterated, were percepti ble. These marks were traced to a neighboring wood, and in the direction o f an eminence which towered above the trees, and whose summit was crowned by the ruins of the old castle of Otten- berg—a place which the neighboring country people believed to be haumed. While the doctor and others were engaged in examining the body, some ot the rustic crowd mustered courage to trace the foot-prints, which apparently led to the ruined castle—Their su- perstiiious fears being doubtless lulled by the conviction that ghosts are not prone to wander in the bright sunshine of a July morning. One of the party was soon running back to the chapel in breathless haste, announcing thal the scene of the crime was discovered. The magistrate proceeded to theiu in s of the castle, and what he saw left no room to doubt lhat the murder had actually been committed there. The floor of the spacious area, (once ihe banqueting hail of the castle,) was stained with blood. The walls, the table and the seats also presented sim ilar stains. On the table were the rem ains o f a repast which had evidently been partaken of at no distant date, for there were fragments o f bread and fruit, and a bottle in which some wine still remained. On further examination, deep prints of foot steps were perceived leading from the ruins of Onenberg to the high road of Belting, in a di rection quite opposite to that of the chapel. A iltle further on in (he sam e track, was found a piece of red cloth ; and on comparison it was ascertained to belong to the same shawl, a frag, ment of which had been used to staunch the wound of the victim. At the foot of the tree lay a lady’s glove, nearly new, but stained with blood. Nothing more was discovered, and in the evening the body was interred in the village churchyard, after being throughout the day ex posed io the public gaze. On the following day, an innkeeper presented himself to the m agistrate of the district. He had recognized in the murdered man a traveller who had slept In his house on the night of the 15;h of June, and who left early on the follow ing morning. He knew neither the nam e nor the condition of the stranger ; nor had he heard from whence he came, or whither he was going. The innkeeper observed that he had a gold watch and chain, a red morocco pocket-book, and a green silk purse ; moreover that he wore two rings, one of which he had recognized on the dead body. An active inquiry was set on foot; bat no c ir cumstance of importance was brought to light, until about six weeks afterwards. The police then ascertained that a gentleman named Von Bergfieldt, who had been residing some time at Coblentz, had suddenly disappeared. H e came from Frankfort, and to all appearances possess ed plenty of money. He had made several e x cursions to various parts of the adjacent coun try, and his journeys had extended as far as the mountains of Vosges. An old soldier, who had been his servant, and the proprietor of a house which he had hired, came to Muhlbach ; both had a perfect recollection of the watch and the two rings remarked by the innkeeper; the ser vant politely affirmed\ that the boots found on the dead body belonged to his master. Several months elapsed, and the public inter est which had been powerfully excited, by this mysterious event, was gradually subsiding, wiien a gentleman of rank, travelling to the wa ters of Powdewil, happened to pass through Muhlbach. H earing of the murder, he was struck by the name o f the victim—Bergteldt be ing the name of one of the most ancient and no ble families o f Silesia. H e knew their armorial bearings, and expressed a wish to see the signet ring which had been found on the body. The engraved coat-of-arms was identical with that of the Silesian Bergfeldts, v i z : quarterly Sable and Azure, on a Chief, or, a Serpent between two Bees. The Ober-Procuator of Muhlbach, lost no time in addressing a letter to the authorities of Bres lau. An answer was speedily returned, enclo sing a letter signed Ferdinand, von Bergfeldt, the writer o f which described him self a s being the second son of the old B a ronFranz von Berg feldt. H e slated that his elder brother had, about two years previously, left home to make a tour in various parts of Europe, and that the family had received no intelligence of him for a very considerable time. “ Every circumstance” persued the w riter o f the letter, “leads to the supposition that the vie- tim of the recent m u rder is no other than my unfortunate brother. Our family has the great est interest in elucidatingthis mystery, inasmuch as our patrim onial estates are entailed upon heirs male. My brother was m arried, b u t had separated from his wife, by whom he had a daughter, who died in infancy. I shall set out forthwith for Muhlbach.” Ferdinand von Bergfeldt arrived a t M uhlbach in December ; he examined the effects of the deceased, and the documents relative to the ex amination of witnesses. It appeared^ evident beyond donbt that his brother had perished by the h and o f a m u rderer; but nevertheless, it was requisite he should be provided with an attested certificate o f his'death, before he could take pos session of the inheritance which would devolve on him as next heir, a t the decease oi his then very aged father. H e engaged the assistance of the advocate Schelenitz, a lawyer of justiy_ reputed intelli gence a n d activity; and with him he proceeded to Coblentz. The mystery of the case, the im- nortnnt inierestsJnvolved in it, and the rank of the family, all contributed to stimulate the zeal of Schelmtz, and hespeedily brought to light cer tain facts which promised to lead to the detec- t:on of the criminal. Ferdinand and the law y er visited the house which bad been occupied by Edward von Berg feldt. Seals h ad been affixed to all the drawers, trunks, See., and, on a carelul examination of the effects, there was found in the pocket o f a coat a note written in French. The address had been torn off, but the note was a s follows: “ I grant the interview on condition of its be ing the last. Y o u r threats can never intimi date me. 1 defend m yself with the arm s of vir- tue'and honor. This is my last communication. Secret correspondence must not continue. “ July 13th. C ------ .” As soon as Ferdinand von Bergfeldt perused this note, he felt convinced that he was on the right track for the discovery o f the murderer. “ It has been conjectured,” observed he, “ that robbery was the motive for taking my broth er’s life—no such thing! I feel assured that the fatal blow was struck by a female hand— the same hand to which the glove belongs, and the same hand which traced this note. E v e ry one of our family are aware that my brother did not behave well to his wife, and that his conduct caused them to separate shortly after their m arriage.” The active inquiry now set on foot, brought to the knowledge o f'the magistrates various cir cumstances worthy of attention. A country girl deposed that, while she was engaged in cutting wood in the neighborhood of the castle of Ottenburg, on the morning of the 16th o f July, she had seen a gentleman in a hunting dress walking with a lady. She de scribed the lady to have worn a straw bonnet, a bright colored dress, and to have carried a parasol. The ^keeper of the baths of Podewil, near Muhlbach, furnished testimony somewhat more im portant. He stated that about noon on the 16th of July, a lady elegantly attired, but pale and evidently suffering fronL fatigue, came lo the door o f the bathing establishment, a n d want ed some person to tie a bandage round her right hand, which she said she had accidentally cut. The wife of the bath keeper washed and band aged the wound. The cut was long but not ve ry deep, and appeared to have been inflicted with a knife. The lady requested to have a clean white handkerchief, which was furnished to h e r ; and she left a ducat tu payment, and went away hurriedly. An old man, dressed like a wood-cutter, had been observed wailing for h e r a t some distance, and the lady having joined him, they went away together. From the evidence of a person living near the baths, it appeared that, being at work behind a hedge, he had heard a short colloquy between the lady and her guide. The former was weeping, and appeared greatly distressed. The old man said to her, “ In the name of Heaven, madam, be calm ! Tears cannot recall the dead to life— from me you have nothing to fear—I will be si lent—silent as the grave !” These witnesses describe the lady lo have had a light colored parasol, a straw bonnet trimmed with flowers, and a green silk dress. Ferdinand von Bergfeldt now entertained no doubt that the investigation would speedily lead to a satisfactory result. In a letter which he addressed to the magistrate of M uhlback he said,— “ We shall soon unravel the truth. We have the glove, and it will not be long before we have the hand. It is a right hand glove, and, on turning it inside out, I have made a discovery which has heretofore escaped obser vation. In the inside is written a name, part of which is obliterated, the letters Hear — F he being all that was legible.” But was this the name ot the wearer or the m aker ?— With the view ot solving this question, the glove was transmitted lo an experienced agent, who had orders to spare no exertions lor the elucidation of the fact. At this juncture, an unexpected circumstance intervened. A festival day was at hand, and in preparation for it, the chapel of St. Joseph was swept and cleaned. The box destined for receiving donations for the poor was opened ; within it was found a green silk purse, contain ing a considerable sum in gold and stiver, to gether with a slip of paper, on which was w rit ten the following words : “ Give the dead man Christian burial, and Heaven will reward you !” It will be recollected that the innkeeper had seen a green silk purse in the hands of the strangers who had slept a night in ids house.— He was shown the purse found in the poor-box, and he identified it as the same. Meanwhile, Ferdinand von Bergfeldt received letters from Siiesia, acquainting him with his father’s sudden death. H e hurried home with out delay. H e was aware that, in the event of his brother Edward’s death being ptoved, it would be necessary that he should go immedi ately to Berlin to obtain the requisite authority for entering into possession of his inheritance. In this m atter he counted on the support of his sister-in-law ; as the widow would be entitled to an annuity much more considerable lhan the sum she had received as alimony since her sep aration from her husband. Ferdinand von Bergfeldt was not on friendly terms wuh the family of his brother’s wife.— Some overtures for effecting a reconciliation be tween the husband and wile had been obstinate ly opposed by the father of the lady, General Count Hihlenrath. This circumstance hail, in no slight degree, wounded the pride of the Bergfeldts. On the 28th of June, 1819, Ferdinand arrtyed in Berlin, and he lost no lime in visiting Gener al Hildenrath, by whom he was not received in a very cordial manner. Edward’s widow, Charlotte von Bergfeldt, was from home.— W hilst Ferdinand was relating to the General all that he had learned respecting his brother’s death, a carriage, stopped at the door, and in a few moments Charlotte entered the drawing room. At sight of Ferdinand, who advanced to meet her with respectful interest, she turned deadly pale, staggered, and seemed on the point of falling ; bui, as if by a sudden effort, recov ering her self-possession, she conrtesied and withdrew. Ferdinand was vexed a t this beha vior, which he regarded as an unequivocal sign of animosity, and after a little further conver sation with the General he took his leave. H e subsequently saw Charlotte several times, and though she did not seek lo avoid him, yet she behaved with coolness and reserve. Though she had just ground of complaint against her husband, yet she rendered the due .tribute of re gret for his sudden and unfortunate death.— About the end of August, Ferdinand received a letter Irom Schelnitz, which was in substance as follows: “ 1 have some particulars to communicate, which appear to me to be of the utmost impor tance, and to which I beg yonr earnest atten tion. In the first place I have to inform you that we have found the lejt hand glove. The name Heinrich Finacbe is legibly written on the inside. It is supposed to be the name of the manufacturer, and we have taken measures for ascertaining this fact. Tbe glove was discov ered in the following m anner: In the course of his investigation, the police agent who had possession of the right hand glove, showed it to a milliner of Muhlbach, named Mademoiselle Enkel. A lady named Raumer, who was a cus tomer of the milliner, happened to see the glove, and examined it attentively. This lady knew that 1 was engaged in investigating the affair of the murder a t Oitenberg. Three days after wards, Mademoiselle Raum er called on me a n d presented to me the left hand glove. This lady is an intimate friend of the family of the Pro testant Pastor Gaeben. She related to me that one day whilst she was visiting the daughters of that clergyman, a discussion arose on some point o f dress, and one of the yonng ladies hav ing opened a drawer to search for something, accidentally drew out a glove, which fell a t the feet of M adame Raumer. On picking it up she perceived something written in the inside, and she mechanically read the name Heinrich Fin- acke. “ W here did you get this glove, my dear Caroline ?” inqai'red Madame Raumer. “ 1 From the femme de chambre of a lady who was here last sum mer from Berlin,’ was the re ply. “ I l o s t no time,” added Schelnitz, “ in wri ting to the Pastor Gaeben, and he called on me this morning, accompanied by his daughter Caroline. They were very uneasy lest the dis covery of the glove, a circumstance in itself so trivial, should place them in an unpleasant po sition. 1 tried to dispel their apprehensions, and begged the yonng lady would tell me candidly how the glove came into her possession. “ She informed me that a young widow lady, Madame Weltheim, a resilient of Berlin, had some time ago been on a visit to Baron Schon- wald, a t his castle near M uhlbach. Caroline, who was a good musician, frequently went to the castle to sing and accompany the lady on the piano-forte. W hen Vladame Weilhcim was about to leave the castle, Caroline assisted the jemme de chambre to pack np. In a small box filled with ribbons, flowers, and other trifles, the glove was found. Being an odd one, the lady’s maid threw it on the ground as useless. Caro line, admiring the small size and elegant form of the glove, picked it up, and said she would keep it a s a memorial o f M adame Weltheim.— J am fully convinced,” pursued Schelnitz, “ that all the young lady has stated is strictly trne.” “ You remember the letter written in French which was found among yonr brother’s effects. Ils signature was the letter C. Now I am in formed that Madame Weltheim’s femme de chambre was a French girl, and that h er name was Cecile. You will no doubt h e struck with this coincidence. Cecile is described as tall and slender, Caroline Gceben is, on the contrary, of short stature. All that I can learn of Madame Weltheim is, that she is a lady of good family, and moves in the best society o f Berltfi.” It is strange, thought Ferdinand, when he had finished leading the letter, that Schelnitz should attach so much importance to coincidences which seem io me the mere result o f c h ance,— He went out to call on Count Hildeurath, with the intention of communicating to him what he had learned. The-Count was from home, but the Countess, who had just arrived from the country, received him with great kindness.— She was full of curiosity respecting the m u r der, and pressed Ferdinand to inform her of ail the particulars. “ Y o u r brother was buried near the spot where his body was found, I believe,” said the lady. “ Yes, madam, his ashes repose in the little village church-yard, not far from M uhlback.” “ M u hlbach!” exclaimed the countess. Oh! what would have been poor Charlotte’s feelings had she known that. She was not far Irom Muhlbach a t the lime.” “ How, m a d a m ! W as my sister-in-law near M u hlback?” “ She was passing some lime a t the castle of Baron Schonwald, which is only a few leagues Irom Muhlbach. Don’t yon know Baron Schon- wald ? He is a very pleasant man, only so ex ceedingly fond of hunting. And the baroness —she is quite an oddity ! In her youth she was one of the maids of honor to the electress ! There was no King of Saxony in those days.— But every thing is changed now ; and as I was observing a day or two' ago to my friend Mad ame Sehllchtegroll, I don’t know what we have gained by all these changes !” In this way the loquacious old lady gossiped for some time, unheeded by Ferdinand, who was absorbed in profound reflection. “ H o w !” thought he to him self; “ Charlotte so near the scene o f the crime, and we not know i t ! She and her father have been silent bn a fact of which they ought to have apprized me the very first moment I was in their company!” He took leave of the countess, and returned in a very pensive mood to his hotel. H e once more read the letter of Schelnitz, and pondered on every line of it. Another initial C. had now come to light. W as ii the one they were in quest o f? Could the accusatory glove be long to Charlotte ? H ad she assumed the char acter Of a widow with the false nam e of M ad ame Weltheim? These and a thousand other perplexing thoughts and suspicions haunted the mind of Ferdinand throughout the night. Next morning he again repaired to the hotel of Count Hildenrath. H e found the countess and her d aughter together in the drawing-room. The conversation naturally turned on the legal inquiries which were going on for the verifica tion of his brother's death. Charlotte at first betrayed no sign of em b arrassm ent or uneasi ness. “ I believe, m a d a m e ,” said Ferdinand, “ you are acquainted with the family of Baron Schon- wold, who resides near Muhlbach ?” “ I have some slight acquaintance with them,” replied Madam von Bergfeldt. “ Do you happen to know the daughter ofthe Pastor Gaaban who lives in the neighborhood of the castle ?” “ He has several daughters.” “ I mean the second daughter; Caroline I think is her nam e.” “ Yes, Ik.iow her. She is a charming girl, and a great favorite of mine.” “ I have just learned ihat she is implicated, in a very serious way, in the horrible affair whieli we are investigating. The police has discover ed ” “ W h at! W h a t has been discovered?” ex claimed Charlotte, h er eyes staring wildly, and her cheeks turning pale. “ Can it be possible ! Poor C a roline! She is innocent—quite inno cent! I will go im mediately to M uhlbach—I m u s t s a v e her !” She sank on the sofa, apparently in a stale of unconsciousness. The countess rang the bell violently, and the servants having come to her assistance, Ferdinand hurriedly rushed down stairs, and left the house. “ The mystery is revealed,” thought he — “ Charlotte undertakes to prove the innocence of Caroline. This is equivalent to admitting that she knows the author of the crim e ! Dis covery is now at hand. L need not stay longer in Berlin.” He was about to order post-horses for the purpose of departing ; but in the course of the afternoon, a note was delivered to him. It was from Charlotte, who wished to have a private conversation with him. Madame von Bergfeldt received her brother- in-law with the most perfect composure, though she had not entirely recovered from the emotion which had so suddenly overcome her in the morning. She was very desirous to know what was the charge against Caroline Gmben, and what discovery had implicated her. Ferdinand evadedjthese questions by observ ing that the letter he had received from Schel- nitz was very vaguely expressed ; and that, though he stated th a t various suspicions hung over the pastor’s daughter, he had not stated the circumstances on which they were ground ed. Charlotte informed him that it was her in tention immediately to set out for Muhlbach, where she could produce testimony to prove the innocence of her young friend. H e r mother was lo accompany h e r ; the count, who was suffering from severe illness, being unable to undertake so long a journey. This plan en tirely coincided with Ferdinand’s wishes. R e sorting to a pardonable dissimulation, he pre tended thal it was his purpose to return home to Silesia immediately. That same night, howev er, he left Berlin, and took the road to Muhl bach, with the view of reaching that place be fore ihe arrival of his sister in-law. On reaching his destination, the first thing he did was to call on Schelnitz, to whom he com municated all ihat had transpired al Berlin. “ I have a few additional particulars to relate to you,” observed the law y e r; “ I have collect ed them from a domestic who recently.quitied the service of Schonwald. The 16th of July was a S a turday; it was a festival day, and the Schonwald family went to Muhlbach. Madame Weltheim did not go with them, but she went thither in. company with a lady (M adame Ro sen) and her two daughters. The party reach ed Muhlbach in the morning, and about eleven o’clock in the forenoon Madame W eltheim left her friends, and did not rejoin them again till evening. Now,” observed Schelnitz, “ it would be very im portant to ascertain where she went, and how she was employed d u ring this interval of absence. The Schonwalds and the Rosens might possibly furnish information on that point, I therefore advise you to see them.— Madame Rosen wishes to dispose of her estate. You may present yourself as a purchaser. By that means you will be sure of a favorable re ception. Draw the ladies into conversation, and try to learn from them all that took place on the 16lh of July.” Ferdinand followed his advice. He learned from Madame Roseij, that whilst the ladies were breakfasting at M uhlbach,a country girl brought a letter for Madame Weltheim. She stated it to be from a very old friend, a Madame Tres- koff, who resided in Muhlbach, and who wished particularly to see her. M.adame Weltheim hastily put on her bonnet, and departed, follow ed by the girl. It was night, and candles were lighied, when she returned. She seemed agita ted, and the redness of her eyes denoted that she had been weeping. The ladies anxiously inquired the cause of her trouble, and she re plied that her feelings had been greatly moved “ 1 have, s ir ; but I cannot conceive how sus picion can possibly attach ip Mademoiselle Gae ben. She did not know my husband. She nev er even saw h i m !” “ How can you be certain of that, Madam Yon cannot know whom your husband may have seen during your separation from h i m ._ How long is it since you yourself saw him ?” Charlotte felt she was approaching dangerous ground. “ The will of my parents,” said she, “ prohib ited all communication between me and the B a ron yon Bergfeldt after our separation; I do not consider it necessary to enter upon any farther explanation of that painful subject.” Resolved, i f possible, to elicit something de cided, the magistrate, fixing his eye sternly on her inquired whether she had not visited M u h l bach on the 16th of July in the preceding year. “ Yes, sir,” she replied, “ I think I was there on that d ay.” “ How did you employ your time during that morning ?” Charlotte was silent a n d a livid paleness over spread her countenance. -Madame Rosen and her d aughter,” pursued -•-'magistrate, “ have declared that you parted tl? by finding her friend, M adame TreskofF, in great distress. Continuing his interrogatories, F erdinand was further informed, that though Madame Wel theim frequently wore a green silk dress, yet it was not positively remembered whether she wore it on the 16th July. “ She was much agitated on her return,” ob served one of the ladies, “ and she had only one glove on. (These words almost made Ferdinand leap from his chair.) This struck me as very rem arkably, as she was always most precise in the details o f her dress. I remarked to her that she had only one glove, to which she replied, •' A h ! I was not aw are of it. I suppose I must have dropped it at my friend’s Ferdinand had thus learned more than he ex pected. Taking a harried leave of M adame Rosen and her daughters, he went immediately to Schelnitz. The latter was of opinion that nothing rem a ined to be done but to denounce Charlotte von Bergfeldt as the murderess of her husband. H e inquired in M uhlbach and ils neighborhood whether a lady named Treskoff had lived there in the month of July. Her nam e was unknown to a n y one. “ There can be no doubt,” said Schelnitz, “ that Charlotte von Bergfeldt struck the fatal blow. It is useless to endeavor to sound the motive for a -crime which Providence has mir aculously disclosed by an unparalleled chain of concurring circum s tances. She m a y have been prompted by a jealousy—by hatred of a husband whose conduct it would appear was not free from blame—or by cupidity; for, on the death of Edward von Bergfeldt, his widow, by the terms of the m arriage settlement, is to possess a considerable portion of the revenues derived from the estates. But whatever may have been the motive for the crime, Charlotte von Bergfeldt is certainly guilty.’7 The minutes of the evidence for the prosecu tion was drawn up in due legal form, a n d laid before the Ober-Procurator of Coblentz. M ean while M adame von Bergfeldt, accompanied by her mother, arrived there. Full of anxiety to kno-.v w h a t proceedings had been taken against Caroline Gaeben, she called on Schelnitz, whose name and address she jiad learned from Ferdi nand. Schelnitz referred her for information to the Ober-Procurator, low b o rn he immediately conducted her. “ M adam ,” sa d the m agistrate, addressing her, “ your brother-in-law has charged Caroline Gaeben with being implicated in the m urder of your husband. H e assures me that he can pro duce satisfactory proofs o f h e r guilt; but be has not stated to m e w hat those proofs are. I un derstand that you have come here for the pur pose of removing the suspicions which hang over lhat vonnsr ladv ” froth them at an early hour, a n d that y ou did not rejoin them until evening.” “ I cannot understand,” said Charlotte, iD a faltering tone of voice, “ why those ladies have been examined ; nor can I guess to what all these inquiries tend.” “ Permit me to observe, madam, that you have not answered ihe question I just now pui to you, and answer is necessary for your justificn* “ For my justification ! Then it appears that I am accused ! I now understand the m e a n ing of this capiious interrogatory. I will not con descend to enter upon explanation. That would be beneath me. I will rem ain silent. Hence forth my lips are sealed on the subject. No power on earlh shall draw a word from me.— Now, sir, do whatever your duty may dictate! You know my determ ination.” Tfte magistrate found himself obliged to sign an order for ihe imprisonment of M adame von Bergfeldt. N ext' day she was confronted -with the keeper of the baths at Podewil and his wife. Both unhesitatingly recognized her to be the la dy who, on the I6th of July, had presented her self at the door of their establishment. H e r right hand was examined, and across the palm, there was a m ark which might have been caus ed by a c u t ; but the scar was so slight as to render this circumstance a matter ol doubt. An order was forwarded to Berlin for pulling under seal all the papers and effects belonging to M a d a m e von Bergfeldt. They were previ ously examined in the presence ot a magistrate. Among the papers nothing of importance was found, but in a jewel casket there was di-cover- ed a gold watch, which the accused lady had presented to her husband on his marriage, and a ring which Edward had been in the habit of wearing. How did these objects come into Charlotte’s possession ? Had her husband re turned them to her a t the lime of their separa tion ? These questions could be answered only by conjecture. All this mass of evidence having been sub mitted to the consideration of the judaes, the oi- ficers of police were directed lo seek out three persons whose testimony appeared to be impor tant. These were the old woodcutter, who ac companied the lady when she called al the baths of Podewil, Cecile, the French femme de cham bre, and the country girl who had conveyed the letter to Madame Bergfeldt (u n d e r the n a m e of Madame Weltheim) at Muhlbach. The wood- cutler was now h e re lo be found. As to Cecile, she had quilted her mistress’s service on her re turn to Berlin, and was now married. In coun tenance and figure she was totally different froui her mistress. No suspicion attached to her, and she could furnish no information calculated to throw light on the subject of inquiry. The girl who brought the letter to Madame Bergfeldt was traced out, and she stated that in 1818', she was in the service of a Madame Wunderlich at Muhlbach. She recollected that some time in the month ot July a gentleman called on her mistress, who then desired her to take a letter, whose nam e she had forgoiten, alter reading the letter, the lady went with her to Madame W underlith’s. The girl described the gentle man to have been tall and thin, with d a rk mous taches. H e wore a green hunting-coat, light- colored pantaloons, and boots with spurs. The description corresponded with the appearance and dress of Edward von Bergfeldt. These examinations being terminated, the case was deemed sufficiently established to war rant an order for the tria l of the accu s e d before the criminal court of Coblentz. On the day fixed for ihe trial an immense crowd thronged every avenue leading lo the court. M a d a m e von B e rgfeldt w a s conducted • into the presence of the judges. She was dress ed in deep mourning, looked very pale, and though evidently deeply affected, she was still struggling to repress her em o tion. The witnesses, forty-three in number, were examined. Their testimony confirmed all the particulars already narraied, and though no new tacts were disclosed, yet ihe interest exciied by the trial continued to increase. At the close of the examinations, the advocate for the accused entered upon her defence. lie delivered a lor.g and eloquent address, in the course of which lie ingeniously set forth every aruiument that could turn to the advantage of the prisoner. He dwelt earnestly on the fact of there being no positive proof that ihe body found on ihe steps of Si. Jo seph’s Chapel was the body of E dward von Berg feldt. Referring to the annals o f criminal juris prudence he adduced the cases of several per sons who had on circumstantial evidence been condemned and executed for murder, and whose presumed victims were subsequenriy discovered to be living. H e concluded by expressing re gret lhat the accused had determined to remain silent under the charges brought against her, and to withhold all explanation respecting the events of the fatal day; but, unaccountable as that deiermination was, he observed that it ought not to be regarded as an evidence o f guilt. The advocate had just closed bis address, when a messenger haslily entered the court, and presented a billet to the president, which the lat ter read aloud. It contained these words : “ 1- entreat io be heard immediately. I call prove the innocence of ihe accused !” “ Let the person be brought into court,” said the president. The utmost curiosity and agitation now pre vailed, and several voices were heard to ex claim, “ Doubtless it is Edward von B ergfeldt!” The unexpected witness presently appeared. He was a man of tall stature and of military bearing. As soon a s Charlotte beheld him she uttered a piercing shriek. H a v ing, not without some difficulty, made his way through the crowd, the stranger at length stood before the judges. “ My nam e,” said he, “ is George von Roth- kirck, and I am an officer in the 3d dragoons.— T h a t lady, whose innocence I am enabled to prove, is bound by an oath which compels her to rem ain silent. I beg permission to address a few words lo her, and afterwards I will satisfac torily explain the mysterious event which occu pies the attention of this assembly.” The president consulted the court, and the strainger was perm itted to speak to tbe prisoner. “ Madam,” said he, “ death has broken tho bond by which you believe yourself to be bound. Y o u r father is ho more. H e died invoking bles sings on you, and in ignorance of the dreadful position in which you are placed. Perm it me now to reveal the truth.” Charlotte replied by a look o f gratitude and a. flood of teaTS, a n d George von Rotbkirck spoke as follow s: Being in garrison at Cobletz in 1318, I m et Edw ard von Bergfeldt, with whom I had for merly been acquainted. H e then appeared ill and low spirited. H e spoke to me unreservedly of tbe differences between him self and his wife, acknowledged that he had not behaved well, but wished for reconciliation. I visited the family of Baron Schonwald, at whose bouse I met a lady, who was introduced to me as Ma dame W eltheim. I was charm ed with her beau ty and intelligence, and frequently spoke of her to E d w ard. H e wished to see the lady whom t so highly extolled; but I couldL not prevail on him to accompany me to Baron Schonwald’s. At length I had an opportunity of pointing out Madame W eltheim to him on a public prom enade. “ My dear Rothkirck,” he exclaimed, • she is my w ife!’ “ He insisted on my conveying to h e r a propo> sal for reconciliation. M adame von Bergfeldt at first refused to listen to it, alleging that her parents would never forgive her, i f she saw or corresponded with her husband ; a t length, how* evei-, I succeeded in shaking her determination, and she consented to g rant to him an interview. “ I t was arranged that, on a certain day, when she was to go to Muhlbach. with some friends, an im aginary person, to whom we gave the name of M adam e Treskoff, should send a mes sage requesting to see her. She was then to join me a t the residence o f a lady in Muhlbach, and I was to conduct h er to the castie of Otien- berg, w here h e r husbnnd had promised lo be in waiting for h er. “ On meeting her husband, M adame Berg feldt was evidently agitated by painful emotion s, which she vam ly struggled to repress. Edward, on his part, was exceedingly gay and anim aiea ; he had brought with liim a w.0°d, c^ , ’J carried a hamper, furnished with a_ j' . . The husband broached the subject of reconcilia tion, which the wife endeavored to evade, on she g r o u n d o f t h e o b j e c tio n s of ber parents.
