He was summoned to join his regiment irom a town who're: he had been in a recruiting service; and this, tier- haps. under some shade of suspt- cion. Matcham perceived that dis- covery was at hand, and would then have deserted, had it not been for the pfeSetiee of a little drummer lad. who was the only one of his party appointed to attend him. In the desperation of his crime,- he 1'9-~ solyed to murder the poor boy. and make his e’sédp‘d; He me‘dittited the widkédncss the more readily. that the drummer, he thought, had been put as a spy on him. He nerpetrated his érime; and chang- ing his die“, after'the deed was done, mode a long walk across the road, where he halted and wont to hed desiring/19 be goalkd when. the first Portsmouth coachcamé. , The wailer called him accordingly; but long after remembered that when he‘ shdok th’c g'u'ést' by the Shoulder, his: first worde las bé fipo‘ké; wéfe‘ 'My God. t did not kill him.’ ‘ Matt‘ihain went to the seaport by the coach, and instantly entered - as an able bodied landsman or ma- rine. I knew not which. His 80- briety and attention toduty, gained him the same good opinion of the oflioerS'trihié' iievii ~ervice which he removed in the army. He was afloat for Several years, arid he'â€" haved remarkably well in some 36- tions. At length the vessel came: into Plymouth was paid off. and some of the crew. among whom wa'é Jervis Matcham, were dis- charged as being too old for ser- vice. , He and another seaman rc- solilé-fd to' ifva'llijto, town, and took the route by Salis‘hiirv. it virus 1when within mm or three miles of this celebrated city, that they were Invertakén by a tem'p‘eet so sudden, and accompanied with such vivid lightning, and thunder so dread futly loud. that the obdurate con~ science of the old sinner began to he awakened. He expressed more terror than seemed natural for one who was familiar with the war ol‘ the ele‘met’tta and began to look and talk so wildly, that his com- panion became aware that someâ€" thing more than usual was the mat- ter. At length Matcham complain- ed to his companion that the stones rose [on] the road and flew after him; he desired the man to walk on the other side of the highway, to see it thev would follow him when he was alone. The sailor complied and Matcham complained that the stones still flew after him. but did not pursue the other. ‘But what is worse,’ he added. coming up to his companion, and whispering in a tone of misery and fear, ‘ who is that little drummer bov. and what business has he to tollbw as so closelv ?’ What! not see that little bnv with the bloody pantaloons!’ ex- claimed the secret murderer, so ‘much to the terror of his comrade that h? conjured him, if he. had any- ‘thing nn his mind to make a clear concience. so far as his confession cmtlll do it. The criminal fetched a deep groan. and declared that he was unable longer to endure the life which he had led {or vears. {He then confessed the harder of closely ?’ ‘I can see. no one,’ answexed the spaman, infected by the superstifion of his associate.

But beforé ihe‘ lrial lhe love of life returned The prisoner denied ‘he coanssiofi, and pleaded not guilty, By this time, howevm‘, full evi- dential had been procured from other quarters. ' \Vimesses appeared from his former regim‘eh‘t 10' prove his identity with the murderer and deâ€" serter. and the waiter remembered the‘ominuus words which he had spoken when he awo‘ké him 10 join the Formrfiduth coach. Jervis Malcham was found guilty and éi‘ec'uiecf. When his last chance for life was over. he returned to‘ his éOnfession; and with his dying b‘t'éalh dverred, (and truly as ht‘ Waugh“) the vision on Salisbury Plain.’ ' Anincident is just. now being discussed in military ctl‘clPS so ex- ,, traordinary that were not its truth Capable of being vouched for by oili- cial attlhdrity. the narration would certainly be deemed absolutely in- credible. Our officers quartered at the Cape between fifteen and tWenty years ago may remember a certain Dr. Barry attached to the f, medical stafl'there, and enjoying a "j reputattoh’l'or constderblc skill in his profession, especially for firm-lll tress, decision and rapidity in dith- cult operations. , I This gen'leman had entered the army in 1813, had passed, of course, through the . Wfififiifid‘flfli’ ‘ geon in various regimentsr arr had served as su'CilI'in various-quart». ters of the,glo,be.j; His professional acquirements had procured for him his promotion to the stall at the Cap‘e‘.-‘-“â€"He was clever and agree- able, 821% for the drawback of a most quarrelsome temper, and an a inordinate addiction to argument. {2 {which perpetually brought the 1:3 former into play. He was exves- d sively plain, of feeble proportions and laboured under the imperfec- tions ofa ludicrously squeakng voice. An} natural ‘chaffing‘ with regard to these, however, es- ecially rouse‘d his ire,- but was at ( éngth discontinued on his ‘calltng 1 out’ a persevering offender and 1 shooting him through the lungs f About [840 he became promoted , to be medical inspector, and was ( transferred to' Malta. There he ( , l was distinguished by his skill and by his pugnacious propensities, the latter becoming so inconveniently developed upon the slightest dill‘erâ€" enCe of opinion with him, that at last no‘ rioticc was allowed to be taken of his fits of temper. He proceeded from-Malta to Corlu, where he was quartered for many years, still conspicuous for the same peculiarities. \Vhen our Government ceded the Ionian Islands to Greece, and our trot)p<, of course, quitted the territory, Dr. Barry elected to leave the army and take up his residence for the rest of his days at Corfu. He died there about a month ago. and upon , his death was discow-red to be. a lwoman‘. Very probably this dis- covery was made during,r the natur- al preparations for interment, but there seems to be an idea prevalent that either verbally, during the last illness. or by some writing. perus- , ed immediately alter his (for we ' must still use the masculine) death, he had requested to be hurried without a pmtâ€"mortem examina- [ tion of any sort. This. most likely, Only aroused the. curiosity of the 'two nurses who attended him. for it was to them. it appears. that the disclosure ofthis mystery is owing. Under the circumstances, the fact was deemed so important that t medical testimony was called in tol -,report upon and record its truth. 3 By this investigation not only was 3 the assertion placed beyond a doubt, but it was equally beyond a doubt I" brought to light that the individual I in question had at Some time or itanother been a mother!
