pocket , Ireland strolled : about 1 he neighbourhood like a jggiitlfeman ' in search , of the picaresque / and your hunable Servant rdt his back ? against a corner near the ex-gaoler's house / intently perusing a most interesting newspaper . i All ( lauah&na \ .

Harry of Newmarket . After being hissed in the-public streets , Sir Hudson had thought it advisable never to walk . This was what had caused the first difficulties in the arrangements : It had been finally determined that ' the punishment should be administered as he stepped out of his carriage . I saw nothing at all of Ireland during the half-hour or more that elapsed ; but
the impatience of Las Cases occasioned him to pass and repass tbd door of the ex-gaoler ' s house several times . No sooner did the carriage appear , than I descried Ireland walking in the same dirtction v very , very deep in thought , with one hand in- his pocket ; and th £ other gently sawing the air , as though he was composing d verse on . sentence . Excessive laughter was thoroughly supefstefed
in me by excitement , and by admiration at Ireland ' s ' mastetffy handling in his personation of a private gentleman fortuitously passing that way . No sooner had Sir Hudson alighted on thfe pavement than the young Baron stepped nimbly up to'him-, and saluted him with a cut over the shoulders , and then presented his card . The ex-gaoler started a little on receiving the former , but *
recognising Las Cases , he shuffled quickly onwards , refusing ta take the proffered card . Whereupon Las Cases followed him u £ > the steps , and , administering a second salute with the whip , threvfr another card into the passage after him , and the door dosed ; J « mt as Las Cases was ascending the steps , Mr . Shakspeare Ireland leisurely passed the door—so accurately had he calculated th £
distance . It really seemed as if he had made a mathematical Estimate of the . time the affair would occupy , and had previous ^ counted the requisite steps . Certainly no barrister ever - 'tddk more pains in ' getting up a case" than he did on all occasions :. They joined one another near the post-chariot , and drovfc of ¥ ! kiti > the country . They returned by a different conveyance th ^ seii #
night , the chariot driving on like the devil ; walked cjuietly ririn in arm iuto town ; and repaired to Ireland ' s chambers in Clemetitfs Inn , w < here we supped . I never ate such a supper in my UlH before or since ! It only wanted the presence of the Empe * ttt * . About two o ' clock Baron Las Cases started for the sea-port , and arrived in Calais or Boulogne , I forget which , where he remained some time ; but Sir Hudson declined all his invitations to cross
the Channel . Mrs . Albion . Really this Mr . Ireland must have been a most amusing person . Mr . Albion . Did he not compile one or two rolumes cftlfod ' Anecdotes of Napoleon V ! Ai * l ( laughing ) * HaMia ) ha 4 aAeodotea ! ' - ' - xi
