The whole story is a romantic one. In November a lady visiting Yarmouth entrusted the lawyer wi h a delicate and somewhat dangerous mission, lie was to go to Rome and endeavor to restore a wayward daughter to tlie bosom of her family. The young lady is said to be 20 years old and the inheritor of a fortune, and she had been sent to a French convent near tlie Eternal City to finish her education in music and Italian. The pupil was to have returned home at tho expiration of eight months, but at tho end of that period she declined to leave the convent. Entreaties, promises and threats had alike failed to shake her resolution. YYhen the Norwich solicitor undertook the case, hope had almost been abandoned by tlie parents. But the lawyer 6aw no reason to despair, and, armed with a power of attorney and a Jetter of introduction from the Rremier to Lord Dufferin, the British Ambassador at Rome, lie lost no time in setting out for tlie South. At the end of his journey he found the object of it as unyielding and defiant as ever, and the consciousness that he was being shadowed wherever be went by whom and for what purpose was not exactly gathered did not conduce to his comfort of mind.
