Tint edifice,' composed of several building -dating from different epochs, presented (lien, more strikingly if possible, than at present', the unnatural and in the highest degree incongruous union of the Gothic style of architecture with the classic, mid regular style of the eighteenth 'century.' : The first buildings dated from the 'fifteenth. In 1493, the magistrates of the good city of Rouen, greatly scandalized by the as semblies and truflinlings held in the church of Notre Dame, In the most sacred days in the year, resolved to drive the merchants from the temple and banish them to their native soil, that is to sny, the Jewish quarter. This quarter, devolving to the domain at the expulsion of the Jews in the twelfth century, had become, three hundred year, later, a fief of the city which liad made of it a market, and expended the cnor mnus sum of 88,000 livres to transform this market into nn exchange. It is true that never was money better laid out. Nothing could be moro majestically fine than that magnificent en closure, called the Proctor's Hull, with its high, unsupported arches, and its long pillarless vaults, where, according to the just expression of No dier, space seems to defy calculation. Thir teen years later, the celebrated Court of the Exchequer, which assembled at the Chateau of Rouen, according to an ordinance of 1499, transferred its sittings to another hall built on the north side of the Jewish quarter. In 1515, this court, over which Louis XII. had not dis dained to preside, took the name of a Parlia ment.

It was towards this tower that the Spaniard directed his way. Climbing with the gravity which distinguishes his nation, the steps of the winding stairway, be soon reached an arched door in the econd story, and, having opened it without ceremony, found himself with the young man of the evening before. Had the phantom of Joan of Arc, of which he was assuredly not thinking at that Moment, appeared to the latter, he could not have been moro astonished. Nailed by surprise behind a table encumbered with ancient parchments, he had scarcely strength to point out a chair to his visitor, who, first returning lo boll the door, then coming to sit down by the table, said, looking at linn fix- cdly ' Do you know mc ?
