Between the years 1S28 and 1831, se veral robberies and assassinations had been perpetrated close to this spot; and six rude crosses erected within a very short distance of each other were sad mementos of the fact. All these murders had been accompanied bv circumstances marked by a singular similarity. The first victim who perished in this dreaded neighborhood was a rich merchant, who was travelling from Lerida to Tortosa. It was supposed, that having had occasion to transact business in places out of the direct road, he had branched off and had joined the Barcelona route near the Coll de Balaguer.

The Coll de Balaguer became, as may •naturally be supposed, the tenor of tiavel- I lets, as well as of the surrounding country, ; in consequence of these murderous waylay- iings; and few persons had the hardihood 1 to travel by that route, unless they were nu merously anil stoutly accompanied. Many ; whose affairs called them from Barcelona I tit Tortosa and Valencia, diverged from the j highroad and willingly encountered the toil I and inconvenience of making a circuit of several leagues over rugged paths, regain- ling that highroad at a safe distance from i the dreaded Coll de Balaguer. ; Some goat herds, who occasionally con ducted their flocks to browse upon the mountain herbage near the spot, declared that they had found some faded flowers which had been deposited by an unknown hand at the foot of each of the six wooden crosses, which matked the burial places of the murdered travellers; and they went so far as to add, that at sunset, they had more than once descried a tall figure en veloped in a cloak gliding along until it ar rived close to the crosses, when it sank on its knee3 and appeared absorbed in prayer ; but that upon their approach, it suddenly vanished. They also imagined, that they and tragical manner. Nor we re their fears groundless, although the fat al blow might not be struck in their pre- se nee. J be following instances are char- ac teristic of the man : Some one having asked him how it was tb at being so excellent a shot, he so seldom w> ?nt out for a day’s sport, his reply was— lo find a hare it is necessary to undergo fa ligue. Then, if you shoot it, you must ru n some little distance to pick it up ; and yc m muM afterwards walk a long way if yt m wish to sell it. * Tis much better to vv ait for a man; he comes of his own ac- ct »rd ; and when you have killed him. all y< ju have to do is to ransack his alforjas"— [s addle-bags.] One day, however, he went to shoot wild fi uvl in company with Antouio P. Dirba, the contrabandista, to Los Alfaques, which are a cluster of small island or banks neat tf ie mouth of the Ebro, thickly overgrown w ith tab reeds, and which afford shelter to gt’eat numbers of wild ducks and flamin- gt ies. At the close of their day’s sport, h ey entered a fisherman’s hut in search of re fteshment; but all they could obtain was 1 salad, cut into very small pieces, and as is th e custom in Catalonia, swimming in a pr effusion of liquid called caldo, composed jf water, oil and vinegar. Autonio, in helping his companion to so me caldo, used rather clumsily the rough- y fashioned wooden spoon which thefisher- fiLiu had produced ; for though he seemed to be ladling out the caldo, he in reality ra.nsferred scarcely any to his companion’s pi: ite ; and Venceslas insisted that he had 'ui ned the spoon the wrong way upwards, umd that he was stupidly trying to take up he caldo with the convex side of the spoon. An tonio maintained that lie was using the tol low part, and out of this trifling matter 1 m ost violent quarrel arose. And yet, as s tl ie case with regard to many other seri ous quarrels, the origin thereof was not only msi gnificant, but groundless ; for a person who accidently came into the fisheiman’s hut, and to whom the matter was referred, decl ared on the first glance al the object in disp ute, that both sides of the spoon were aliktj; that is, nearly flat. T htee days after this absurd contention betM’een Venceslas Uriaite and poor Anto nio „P. Dirba, the latter was found lying dead , with a rude wooden cross in his stif- fene d hands, near the Coll de Balaguer. D tiring Lent, in the year 1832, a troop of s trolling players had been performing with great success at Tarragona, one of tlioso Autos Sacramentales. or sacred plays vvhic h excite grealinterest among the Span ish people : inasmuch as they are living repr esentaiions, displayed with gieat ex- actn 3sss, aided by scenic illusions, of some of the most remarkable and exciting events recorded in the sacred writings; the mar tyrdom of saints being frequently represen ted on the stage apparently in all their hor rible reality. The auto-sacramental which the company had enacted with so much eclat at Tarragona was, the beheading of St John the Baptist ; and in the hope of meeting with equal good fortune at. Torto sa, they departed early one morning from Tarragona by the high road which passes by the Coll de Balaguer. The baggage, wardrobe, and other the atrical equipments of the company, were laden upon several mules ; but the actor, one Fernando Garcia, who performed the paitof St. John, preferred to carry one part of his costume himself. Fernando Garcia was a short man, which was a main point for the effective represen tation of the principal character in the au to sacramental ; for, in order to give an ap pearance of reality to the scene of the be heading of St. John the Baptist, a bonetillo •or leathern skull cap, was placed on the fcead of the actor oflow statue, and upon tfhe said scull cap there was fixed, hy means rtf a spring, a false head, imitating nature ; and the actor’s dress or raiment was so ar ranged as to reach above, and cover his own head, leaving visible only the false one which being struck off by the executioner, on the stage, and placed apparently bleed- 300 50. 100 Rolls rich Sntin Hanging, 374 a 50 Rolls Bordering.

Under these mysterious circum stances, he would have been a bold man who would venture to pass that spot alone, after nightfall. A few years antecedent to these startling events, a person named Venceslas Uiiarte, took up his residence in the environs of Tortosa. He was not a Catalonian, and his previous history was unknown in those paits. It was rumored, however, that be fore the revolution of 1822, when the In quisition was abolished, he had been el- caydc 01 jailor iu some piison belonging to that dread tribunal.

That baleful system having at length been resisted in the most determined man ner, by the mass of the Spanish people, the majority of its agents and abettors had either fallen in the various encounters between the constitutional forces and those of the Army of the Faith, or had emigrated to France, Italy and other countries, whilst considera ble numbers dispersed themselves iu various parts of Spai n, where they were generally re- gaided with suspicion and hatred, not un- mingled with fear, in spite of their pros trate position ; for they bore the indelible stamp of beings who bad been in the habit Now Fernando Garcia could not make up his mind to confide this precious cabe- za, or head, which was so essential an in strument ot his theatrical success, to the care of a muleteer; for it was not merely well modelled, light in point of materials— the features being so painted as to imitate nature to perfection, with real hair parted over the forehead, and hanging gracefully over the back part of the neck—but it had glass eyes, which were constantly in mo tion by means of an internal spring, which was acted upon by the pressure of the said imitation-head on the skull-cap surmount ing the actor’s real one. So little Fernando thought that the safer way of conveying this all-important piece of mechanism was to make himself a head taller on his journey, by engrafting it on his own pate, as he was wont to do on the s tage , and accordingly in this guise, and mounted on a hired horse, he wended his vtav towards Tortosa, with the rest ot the c ompany. Towards evening, however, he found himself alone. He had loitered on the r oad, and like all loiterers, he was exposed t o iuconveuience. The weather ivas chil- 1 y, and in order to ward off its uncomforta ble effects, he coverned his face, and even 1 tis eyes, , with his capa, or cloak ; and trust ing to the intelligence and sure-footedness of his horse, he beguiled the time by think- i 0 g of the plaudits which would be show ered down upon him at Tortosa, when he should personate to the life tbe saint whose came liveted to the spot upon beholding a being with two heads ; the upper one— that of St. John the Baptist—rolling its eyes in the most horrible manner, whilst the menacing orbs of little Fernando Gar cia were flashing on him from their sock ets in his own living head underneath, and the glistening poiuard was elevated, ready to be plunged into his breast. The robber’s guilty conscience raised up the most fearful imaginings ; his counte nance became livid, his mouth gaped wide ly, his parched tongue clove to the palate, and he gazed wildly on the horrible appa rition. ln a minute or two, however, he made another desperate effort to escape ; but, although accustomed to all the rugged paths, and agile in surmounting every ob stacle when pursuing his prey, or iu rapid flight with his booty, such was his trepida tion, thathis alpargatas, or hempen sandals, got entangled among the btiers, and threw him down several limes. He tried to climb at once up to the higher part of the Coll, and for that purpose caught at a shrub which was growing out of a crevice ; but the force of his desperate grasp, and tbe / weight of his convulsed body, drew it out by the root, and' he fell again at the feet of the double-headed commedian, who had hotly pursued him. “Avaunt, Satan ! Touch me not,demo- nio !” cried the assassin, making the sign of the cross. But his-exoicisms had no effect upon the bold Fernando Garcia, or upon St. John the Baptist’s head ; for the former stood over him with the drawn dag ger, crying out stoutly at the same time for his comrades by the odd names which ac tors are apt to adopt, and which no doubt sounded to the prostrate robber like calls for a host of demons to carry him to the realms of eternal torment ; and the latter kept rolling its eyes frightfully. The rest of the company hastened to the relief of Fernando on hearing his cries, and found the murderer helpless from the effect of fright and a smiting conscience. He was bound and taken to the nearest town, were be was searched in presence of the proper authoiities. He wore a close hair cloth shirt; and there were found upon him a rosary, a little book of prayeis, and a sort of locket, containing—according to a memorandum on the piece of parchment in which it was wrapped—some of the hait of St Dominic. But he carried also con cealed a poiuard of highly tempered steel; and in' a pouch wete four bullets, each wrapped in a small piece of greased linen and fitting his carbine. There were also a few charges fine gunpowder in a flat powder-horn. This hypocritical and cruel malefactor was reduced to a state of abject cowardice by what he considered to have been a su pernatural interposition, and confessed that he was the assassin of Ell Coll de Balaguer. “But,” said the magistrate, “ how could you dare to p'ace the cross in the hands of your victims 1” “It is no great matter,” replied the reck less murderer, “ to kill the body ; but to destroy the soul is an abominable crime ! 1 adorned their tombs with flowers, and I prayed fervently that they might be spared some days of purgatory. I placed in their hands, immediately after their death, cross-) es upon which I had previously procured a blessing, in order that, if they were not in a state of grace, they might at all events repulse the devil! But there he is ! I see him ! I see him now!” he cried, on per ceiving little Fernando Garcia advancing with his two heads, in order to show the magistrate how it was that his life had been saved. “There he is! Avaunt, Safanos ! avaunt!” muttered the wretched assassin, and he fell into a swoon, after some violent con tortions. He was tried by the proper tribunal, sentenced to death, aud executed ; and the brave little comedian had reason to rejoice fot the remainder of his days at the prac tical proof which bad been exhibited in his own person of the truth of the old say ing, that two heads are better than one. It is almost needless to add, that the auto saciamental was witnessed at Tortosa, and other places, with increased interest by the thousands who flocked to the theatre when it was represented, in consequence of the important part the head had per formed in the drama at the C<>11 de Bal aguer, and in bringing to justice the no torious Venceslas Uriarte.

The obstinate old man was very unwilling to give up the semblance of royalty, and was only iuduced to do so, it is said, at the earnest entreaty of cooler and wiser heads. The resignation of Don Car los, coupled with the declaration of his son, points to an alliance with the young Queen of Spain—a project which would be sup ported by a large party in that country.
