But this object failing, they returned to England, and took up their abode at Twickenham, on the banks of the Thames.  In Great Britain they were treated with respect and consideration, and were furnished with ample opportunities for repose after their exciting adventures.  Within a few years, however, the Duke of Montpensier and the Count Beaujolais both died—­the former in England, the latter at Malta.  Louis Philippe had accompanied his last surviving brother to that island, and after his interment sailed for Sicily, on the invitation of the King of Naples.  There he gained the affections of the Princess Amelia, and their marriage took place in November, 1809.  No event of material importance marks the subsequent life of the Duke, until the year 1814, when, on the abdication of Napoleon, he returned to Paris, and for a short period was in full enjoyment of his honors.  In 1815, Napoleon’s escape from Elba again called the Duke of Orleans into active employment, and he proceeded, in obedience to the desire of Louis XVIII., to take the command of the Army of the North.  In this situation he remained until the 24th of March, hen he surrendered his command to the Duke de Treviso, and retired to Twickenham.  After the Hundred Days, the Duke of Orleans obeyed the ordinance authorizing the Princes of the blood to take their seats in the Chamber of Peers; but subsequently incurring the jealousy and displeasure of the Court, he resought his old residence on the Thames, and dwelt there in seclusion until 1817, when he went back to France, and devoted himself to the education of his children, until the Revolution of 1830 broke out, resulting in his elevation to the throne.  The subsequent events of his reign, and the memorable outbreak of 1848, that finally overthrew the dynasty that the monarch had strained every nerve to establish, are too fresh on the public mind to require recapitulation here.

John Inman, a son of William Inman, was born in Utica in 1805.  He had two brothers, William, a commander in the Navy, and Henry, so well known as one of the finest artists of this country.  John Inman was educated pretty much by chance; he had the usual country schooling; but whatever valuable cultivation he had was in after-life when he was alone in the world, seeking his fortune.  In 1823 he went to North Carolina where he taught school for two years.  In the spring of 1826, with the profits of his schoolmastership, he went to Europe, and traveled there a little more than a year.  On his return, being admitted to the bar, he practiced law about two years, when, in 1829, he became one of the editors of The Standard newspaper, which he left in 1830 to conduct the Mirror.  In 1833 he was married to Miss Fisher, a sister of the popular and estimable actress, Clara Fisher, and about this time he devoted the leisure left from the
