The blood faded from Warner's cheek, his knees knocked against each other, and so violent was the agitation of his whole frame, that he was for some time unable to utter a syllable iu repl) to the queen's ad dress "How now, master lieutenant!" a«ked Elizabeth "what means this? My resolution is perhaps, a somewhat singular one, but surely there is in it nothing so appalling that it should banish the blood from your cheek, ai.id prevent your limbs from performing their functions Lead o:i I say "Gracious madam!" said \S arner, pause a moment ere you take this step "Not an instant, sir Edward," said the queen. 'How! do you dispute the commands of your sovereign?' •Then, most dread sovereign,' said the lieutenant, seeing that it was impossible to preserve his secret, and throwing himself at the queen's feet, 'pardon, pardon, for the most guilty of your majesty's subjects •Ha!' said the queen, using the favorite interjection of her father, while his own proud spirit flished in her kindled eye, and lowered in her darkening brow 'what dost thou mean •The Earl of Hertford is not in his dungeon 'What, escaped! Traitor—slave, thou hast suffered him to escape?'

Warner crrovelled on the ground in the most abject posture at the queen's feet, and his frame 'trembled in every fibre as he said, *he is in the lady Catharine's aparhhent 'What, he there!' shouted the queen as the white foam gathered on her lip, and her own frame became agitated, though not with fear, but with uncontrollable anger.— 'Guard* seize the traitor!'

Several yeomen of the guard immediately entered the apartment, and seized the lieutenant of the tower. binding his arms behind him, but not depriving him of his weapons. The queen, acting on the impulse of the moment, commanded one of the guards to conduct her to the dungeon of Lady Catharine Grey, and ordered the others to follow her with sir Edward Warner in their cuitody

The guards gazed for a moment wistfully on each other and seemed as if they did not understand the command. •Seize him! I say,' exclaimed the queen. 'I have myself taken the precaution to be present, that 1 may be assured that he is in your custod) and led away to the death that he has taken so much pains to merit

The guards immediately surrounded the earl, but thev had paused a moment ere they led him out of the dungeon, when they saw the lady Catharine throw herself on her knoes before Elizabeth, and seize the skirt of her robe, 'Have pit), pity, gracious queen! she crn d, 'have pity

ROMANCE OF HISTORY.

CATHARINE GREY.

The really affecting history of Catharine Grey, and her husband the Earl of Hertford, forms the tale to which her name is assigned.— Queen Elizabeth is here described as being enamoured of the Earl and after the discovery of his connexion with Catharine, her jealousy vents itself by confining them in the tower. We pass over the imaginary interview between the Queen and Catharine, and shall commence our extracts with the resolution taken by Elizabeth, who is supposed to be residing in the tower at the time, to visit Seymour, at the moment when the lieutenant of the fortress Ims permitted his prisoners to meet, notwithstanding her Majesty's express command to the contrary

A* cry of 'treason! treason!' pervaded the dungeon and the guards advanced between Catharine and the queen, whose life she seemed to threaten, but ere they could wrest the dagger from her hand, stfej had buried it in Her own bosom 'Now, now do

Her last breath was spent on these words—her last gaze was fixed upon the queen—and pressing the hand of her husband, who was per mitted to approach her, in her dying grasp, the spirit of Catharine Grey was released from all its sorrows,

Tfie ^sacrifice of the unhappy lady's life, preserved that for which it had been offered up The queen, touched with the melancholy termination of her kins woman's existence, revoked the despotic and illegal order which she had given for the execution of Hertford, but ordered him to be conducted back to his dungeon, where he remained in close eustody for a period of9 years The death of Elizabeth at the expiration of that period, released him from his captivity and then, although he was unable to restore the lady Catharine to life, he took immediate steps to re eslabli*h her fair fame In these efforts he was perfectly successful he proved be fore the proper tri6uoals the validity of his marriage, and transmitte'd his inheritance to his son, who was the issue of that ill-fated union,
