Shilling volumes have by this time become familiar uxuries with the population. The most eminent publishers of London have emulated each other in Producing works of standard value at a price such ea ylwees them within the reach of the most moderate 11 3coine without any extraordinary deterioration, er , tber in paper, in size, or in typography. Among 'these delightful results of competition between the purveyors of literature must now be ranked—and .ranked in a position very far indeed from subordinate --the series of volumes, now popularly known as the Readable Books, profusely and some of them very cleverly illustrated—published in Gough-square by 'Vizetelly. Already there have appeared in this W ay several works of a really remarkable cha r/I*-T. Five volumes have now been issued—and three out of the five merit from their peculiar in krest and importance to be especially particularized. -F oremost amongst these three in order and in singu larity was the book containing a selection from the Prose and poetical effusions of Edgar Allan Poe, one oT the most gifted as he was also one of the most ill 'starred of the literary children of America. Under the title of " Tales of Mystery, Imagination, and Humour—and Poems," from the hand of Poe, many an English reader was thus made acquainted with the wonderful stories, in the construction and composi tion of ; which that unfortunate and accomplished 'roan— " Tbree-fifths true genius, and two-fifths mere fudge"— shfewed such marvellous and almost bewildering eretuteness. They found themselves' thus enthralled • by following the strange and astounding discovery of buried gold and jewels recounted in the " Golden Bug," or, as the English edition calls it, the "Gold Beetle." They paused in rapt attention over the - unravelling of the tangled plot relating to what the author not extravagantly designated the "Mystery of Marie Roget." They marvelled over the subtlety and yet simplicity of the detection of the " purloined letter" regained from the public reception-room of the :statesman who held that missing document threaten ingly over the head of Marie Antoinette. They hearkened in horror and amazement to the grizzly narrative of the " Murders in the Rue Morgue," per petrated by —an Ourang-Outang! They read all this and more perhaps for the first time—and if for the first time certainly with mingled 'wonder and admiration—and for the rare gratification placed thus readily within their reach they had to thank the enterprise of the Readable Books published by Mr. Vizetelly. Within that introductory instalment of the serial, moreover, the subscribers became possessed of the musical stanzas of " The Bells " and with the whole of that Strange poem of " The Raven," which will,perpetuate the name of Poe, if nothing else does, and which has to comparison in the range of modern literature for toe poetic blending of genius and originality—wino w• make the one exception of " The Ancient Mariner " of Samuel Taylor Coleridge. Second among the Three volumes we are here anxious to particularise, and stamping the series called Readable Books with the merit of superiority—was a selection from the collected writings of the Reverend Sydney Smith— one of the wittiest of mortals—comprising several of Lis essays, several of his speeches, and the whole of 11 8 celebrated " Letters of Peter Plymley." Both these volumes, like the rest of the instalments of the aeries upon which it is g r a tifyi ng t o o b serve th a t M r . vizetelly has adventured, and in the development of Which we hope to remark that he perse veres, were sprinkled very plentifully with ! variety o f nea t woo d - bl oc k illustra tions. The embellishments to Edgar Poe were, of course, with the exception of a little sketch of the Writer, purely imaginative. Those to Sydney Smith Were altogether different, as might have been expected, In their character—consisting for the most part of portraits of himself and his contemporaries—among the g latter G eorge Canning, Spencer P erceval, and 'aria Edgeworth. The subject of the volume re- 'oently issued from the press in continuation of this ' '' ve ry interestin g un d er t a ki ng , is one strangely contrasting tibiesucacinndetagreeably with the already dignified n t s of its predecessors. It gives in a popular Gr u r: rd a and anecdotal history of "The Old of the Great N a poleon. Sixteen engravings 1 )4 wood, ill us t rate d t h e an i mate d t ex t o f J. T.

A grow, of the Old Guard shows us, together, the foot terern, n a a dier, the Chasseur, the Polish lancer, the Cuiras d the Mameluke—a group as historical as it is _ assur edly picturesque. As was inevitable from the liver y nature o f th e history described, the story reads r h ore lik e th e romance o f some accomplished fabulist „ a n the narrative of sober rea lit y . At t h e present „an it is not wholly extravagant to dream the he •• • b possibility of the Old Guards' re- organization— ook becomes, naturally enough, more than ever attractive. When the southern provinces of France e li te again resounding to the cries of Vine CEmpereur It seem s lege than c.v.. it to turn to eh° ac....vuuL Of Napoleon's warlike achievements. For the. chapters Written upon the exploits of the " Old Guard" the reader will esteem himself under peculiar obligations to Mr. Headlam, as the subscribers to Readable Books rust not fail to do under all circumstances to the 'taste and enterprise of Mr. Vizetelly. THE PRINCIPLES OF ELOCUTION. Thirtieth Edition. Oliver and Boyd. No wonder we see inscribed upon the title-page of the volume before us those golden characters of Thirtieth Edition, which mark at once the fact of its i ndisputable merit and of its undoubted popu larity ! Th e vo l ume appears to have grown into as standard an authority as the beat of Pinnock's 41 Catechisms," as the latest reprint of Murray's " Grammar," as the " Speaker " of Enfield, and the Scrap -Book of M'Diarmid. It was a tribute to which Thoma s E w i ng h a d we l l ent i tled h i mself, b ut w hi c h t‘ • 13 . Calvert seems resolved to render still more ltssured than ever by the care displayed by him in the ',abours o f rev i s i on and the pleasures of i mprovement. Within the volume as it now stands before the public, Z. t ending to upward s o f 400 we ll-pri n ted pages, will rfound still comprised a variety of rules, observa °7los, and exerc i ses on pronunc i at i on, pauses, inflec _a, accent, and emp h as i s — g i v i ng th e w h o l e o f th e 'equisit e and exquisite " Principles of Elocution." Added to these are, as usual, copious extracts in prose 473 d poetry, as the work itself' purports "calculated to assist the teacher and to improve the pupil in reading and recitation." Among these extracts, however, we are gratified to observe not merely the old familiar fav ourites of our s c h oo l d ays , such es Campbell's " aohenlinden " and Dryden's " Od e on St. C ec ili a ' s IL3 aY "—but Tennyson on "Freedom" and Shelley °II the " Skylark," the " Monkey " of Mary ~,liovvitt, and th e " E xce l s i or " of Longfellow. 15 esides Blair, and Johnson, and Addison we h ave fr Jeffrey, an d H as li tt, an d C arlyle. With passages ~oro Gibbon and R o b er t son we h ave excerpts f rom -Itallar a and Macaulay. Together with quotations f rom Scott and Goldsmith we should have liked to observe others from Dickens and Bulwer Lytton— writers as abounding assuredly in as noble sentiments and as superb eloquence as any of their predecessors in either ancient or modern literature. Indeed, in some respects, we should wonderfully like to witness some very radical alterations in a work of this de scription. We should like, for instance, to taboo that abominable " Can3elion" o f Merrick —and must con fess that even Wolfe's "Burial of Sir John Moore" has become a bore to us from the plague of repetition. Instead of these old " eternals," why no t l et our hearts be rejoiced with such treasures of the intellect and of the soul as the " Tears, idle tears, I know not what they of Tennyson, or as the ‘‘ Psalm from Life ,the " gentle and by Long. fellow or as a lmost an ypassage of beautiful "In Memoriam ?" Allowances being made for the preference to which we are here objecting, the volunse, it must be admitted, is in every other respect highly meritorious.

No. CCCXXVII. SUN, YESTERDAY'S RACING AT NEWNIARKET, AND THE FIELD FOR THE PRENDERCrAST, &c. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. judgment was pretty nearly as triumphant yesterday as on the previ ous two days' races, having hit the mark twice out of three times; and in the instance in which I was wrong I spoke in high commendation of Ninnyhammer, the winner. I have been more than usually successful this meeting in placing the horses, having put the first and second in their proper situa tions for the Royal Stakes—the first, second, and third, for the Clearwell ; and yesterday, with two darkies starting, placed the four runners in their actual posi tions for the 501. Sweepstakes. For this last-named stake the favourite, Alarm colt, with the Beiram filly in attendance, cut out the work to the cords; where Nicotine took up the running, was not afterwards headed, and won by half a length. In the race for the 15 Soya. Handicap, Mr. Mare's filly by Touchstone, out of Kitty of Coleraine, with 7st 91b up, took the lead at starting, made all the running, and won cleverly by a length. Pug Orrock, with the top, and rather stiffish, weight of Bst 91b up, obtained the second place from Pride, 7st 91b, by a clear length. This running of Pug Orrock's, conceding 141bs to the first and third, taken in connexion with the immense weight the Reiver can give him, at once proves the latter's race at Doncaster to be a blunder of some sort; as it is well known that this said Pug Orrock—who has been running, off and on, very fair throughout the season—is not within one stone of the quondam crack for the Derby. I advise my readers to keep the Reiver in their mind's eye for the great race of next year. The Town Plate was won without an effort by Morn ing Star, who came in solus, being at least two dozen lengths a head of Derby; who, in his turn, was lengths ahead of Salopian, the third and last horse. In the race tor the 10 Sovs. Handicap, Exeter conceded 2 yrs and 101 b to Herbert, and won by a short length. Telescope, who received a atone of the winner, was an in different third. Exeter's running of late has shown a wonderful improvement upon his form of last year and this spring. The Bedford Stakes afforded a good betting race to the Ring, as four horses were backed, and the odds against three of them were 5 to 2, and the favourite, Ninnyhammer, 2 to 1; which proves that the Talent were in great doubt as to which was the best of the four. Gossip was off first, and led the way to the turn of the lands, where Ninnyhammer took second place, and shortly afterwards went to the head of Gossip, raced with her to the end, winning very cleverly by a length. Nicotine and Iraultress stuck to one another throughout the race, and finished in the third and fourth places. Vest was beaten at the turn of the lands, and occupied the last place at the summing up. Hembletonian won the Oatlands in very clever style by half a length from Apostate. Morning Star was a bad third; and the others out of the race early. It was currently reported yesterday that Filbert had been dosed previously to his race on Tuesday by one of Lord Exeter's stable lads. Three of the races tomorrow—the 20 and 15 Sovs. Handicaps and 10 Sovs. Sweepstakes—have yet to close. and name. _ _ _ _ Match, 100, h ft. D.M. Stockwell will receive for feit from Nabob. Match, 200, h ft, A.F., between Hothorpe and Knight of the Garter, is, I believe, not likely to come off. Match, 200, h ft. C.C. Ilex, in all probability, will just beat Hugo. Match, 200, it ft. T.Y.C. Filly by Don John, out of Miss Sarah, is just good enough, I think, to beat the colt by Cotherstone, out of Lucy Banks. The field for the Prendergast Stakes in all likelihood will consist of the following:—Cheddar, Pharold, Stone Plover, Estrella, and Sittingbourne. I can find no rea son why I should alter my original selection; therefore, for the winner I still look to CHEDDAR, expecting to see a good race for second place between the other four, Estrella probably having the best of it, Sittingbousne and Pharold filling the third and fourth places, Stone Plover last. __ ..._.. The betting on the Prendergast in town this morning makes Eitrella and Sittingbourne equal favourites at 6to 4, Cheddar being quoted at 2 to 1. 6 to 1 each agst Pharold and Stone Plover.—l am, Sir, &c.. Oct. 14. THE SPIRIT OF THE TURF. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE NEWMARKET SECOND OCTOBER MEETING. THE CESAREWITCH.—FURTHER PARTICULARS. The race commenced precisely at the time mentioned in the card (a quarter before four), Weathergage being the first to show in the van; he was pulled back, how ever, after he had gone a few strides, and the running taken up by Joe Miller, followed by Merryman. Lady Amyott, Phlegra, King Pepin, Mary Ann, and Knight of the Shire, the heavy weights and Richard Primmer lying in the rear. Joe Miller kept his place to the road before reaching the ditch, where be was beaten, and the lead was taken by Lady Amyott, who, in coming through the gap, bore considerably to the left, taking four or five other light weights with her. This left the Knight of the Garter in front, having Weathergage and Phlegra closely laid up, next to whom were Knight of the Shire, Little Davie, Mr. Morris's two, Lady Evelyn, Ariosto, and one or two others, At the T.Y.C. post the Knight of the Garter disappeared, and at the bushes, although In dian Warrior, Little Davie, and Knight of the Shire were forward, the race was left to Weathergage and Lady Evelyn, the latter, who was wide of her opponent on the left and looking like a winner, having the lead. In the bottom, however, the horse headed her, and after a good race won by a half a length; the Knight of the Shire n.i.nect a ba.l Lnird, Lathan Warrior next, Littlo Davis fifth, and Kingston sixth. The race was run in 4 min. 7 sec. The parties conn ec t e d with Weathergage and his trial horse, Joe Miller, win large stakes; the gentle men, with few exceptions, are losers. WEDNESDAY'S RACES.

The match between the well-known yacht Ame rica, and a new Swedish yacht, the Versich, came off on Tuesday. The start took place a few minutes past eleven o'clock, but it was not concluded till eight at night. The two vessels are very much alike in build and rig, but the Versich is some thirty or forty tons heavier, and of greater beam than the America, The wind during the day was but light, blowing chiefly from the north-east. The course was from Ryde-pier to the Nab-lightship, off the east end of the Isle of Wight, and then twenty miles to the south ward, round a steamer that had been brought to, and back the same run to Ryde. The America bad much the better start of the two, getting well away some two or three minutes sooner than the Versich, which gave her a great advantage. She reached the Nab-light the first by some time, when, getting a tolerably fair leading wind, she farther distanced her opponent. When, however, the Swede succeeded in reaching the light vessel, she gradually began to gain on the America, and at length passed her. The time at rounding the steam-vessel was as follows : Versich, at — 3 hrs. 29 min. 32 sec. America, at 3 hrs. 34 min. 55 sec. The run back to the Nab was a prolonged affair, several long reaches having to be made by both ves sels. In the course of it a fog set in, and the America again got the lead, which she kept, arriving off Ryde pier at about eight o'clock some twenty minutes earlier than her competitor. The match was divested of much of its interest, and of nearly all importance, so far as the question of the qualities of the two ves sels are concerned, from the lightness of the wind, and the consequent prolongation of the contest to so late an hour of the night, from which circumstances its issue became too much dependent on a knowledge, by the steersmen, of the set of the tide and currents. The Swede was further disadvantaged by having to change her pilot, on Lord De Blacquiere raising an objection, that, as he had sailed in the America, he had become possessed of a knowledge of her weak points. IRELAND. THE BISHOPRIC OF MEATH. DUBLIN, WEDNESDAY.—The announcement made yesterday, that Dr. Singer, Regius Profes sor of Di vinity of Trinity Coliege, bed been appointpd to the See of Meath, has been fully confirmed. The letter of the Earl of Derby, containing the official notifi cation of his appointment, was received by the vener able gentleman last evening. The Rev. Frederick Goold, domestic chaplain to his Excellency the Lord- Lieutenant, succeeds to the Archdeacoary of Raphoe, now vacant by the elevation of Dr. Singer to the bishopric of Meath. DEFALCATION BY A BANK MANAGER. In reference to the disappearance of Mr. Arthur O'Keefe, manager of the National Bank at Athy, the Tipperary Vindicator states that he has left his sureties liable for upwards of 2,0001. "It also appears," says this paper, " that he borrowed money to a large extent from persons in and about Athy, and that they look in vain for the sums they ad vanced to him. Mr. O'Keefe was a smart, intelligent young man, with a confident air and address; but the most implicit confidence was reposed in him, as well by the heads of the department, as by the public generally; and we deeply sympathise with those with whom he has broken trust, and left responsible for the sums he has embezzled. It appears that some ten or twelve days ago he obtained leave of absence for a fortnight, and that, meanwhile, an inspector of the bank visited Athy and overh a ul e d the accounts, when the deficiency in question w a s di scov ered. The fact was intimated by some person to Mr. O'Keefe, and since then he has not made his appea r a nce . It farther appea rs, as we have beeninformed, that the greater portion of the deficiency was raised on fictitious bills, presumed to be drawn by parties who knew nothing whatever of thera—that the money so represented was retained in the possession o.f the ex-manager, till ho contrived to disp ose of it, in, is strongly suspected, a series of gambling transactions and extravagancies, in which it was h is habit, it is stated toindulge rather freely. We have heard that he was accustomed to proceed from Athy to Dublin every Sa turday evening after banking hours, and return on Mon day morning in time for business — t hat in Dublin he 7as known to frequent a certain hot el where a gambling table is kept, and that it was ther e the greater portion n s kbyept him m r of the very large amount of whic h he contrived to un i n true the e that names o money on un burden himself was disposed of. If it should turn out to be ey otherwas raised parties, his own use, it betrays a species o f adroitness in the way of embezzlement of which we have seldom heard a pa rallel." anodnthbeillparodcreaewd DEPARTURE OF MR. ABBOTT LAWRENCE.—We understand Mr. Abbott Lawrence, the late respected repre sentative of the United States in this country, will take his departure from London to-day, and will leave Liverpool by the Boston steamer on Saturday. DEATH OF LOUD ROLLO.--WO regret to record the death of Lord Rollo, at his seat of Duncrub, in Strath. erne, on Friday last. William Rollo, ninth Baron Rollo, of Duncrub, in the county of Perth., was the second son and third child of John, eighth Lord Rollo, by his marriage, in 1806, with Miss Greig, daughter of William Greig, Esq., Gayfield-place, Edinburgh. Born in the year 1809, the de deceased peer entered the Roy ad Dragoons in 1825, and served in that regiment for eight or nine years. In October, 1834, he married Miss Rogerson, the only child of Alexander Rogerson, Esq., of Wamphray and Dumcriefl; in the county of Dumfries; and by this lady, who died on the 10th of June, 1836, had issue a son, the Bon. John Rogerson, now Lord Rollo, born on the 23d of October, 1835. The late Lord Rollo succeeded to the title and estates on the death of his father, in December, 1816. lie was immediately afterwards chosen one of the sixteen representative peers of Scotland, and continued to hold that office until the last election, a few months ago, when his failing health led him to withdraw f r om political life. His Lordship (who well fulfilled the duties of his station, and was justly endeared by his many amiable qualities in all the relations of life) is succeeded in his estates and honours by his only son, now in his 17th year.—Edinburgh Courant. SUDDEN DEATH OF MR. GIBBON, ARTIST. -- We learn with pain that John Gibson, Esq , the well-known artist, met his death in a shocking manner. On Thursday night last Mr. Gibson had been actively engaged on the committee superintending the hanging of the pictures in the West of Scotland Academy's Exhibition, previous to its opening. At the private view on Thursday Mr. Gibson took an active part, and attended the dinner afterwards. It appears that after he had gone home he returned to the ex hibition Nothing knownin B u o c f h a hisnan - a s a t b r e a e e q t a f for r n t s o m m a e v p a u m r e p n o t s s e otri till t ph. . s watchm anuuffne ermionzgvs,es. yo rooms, o t h h mo e ms, station between ten and eleven o'clock, oc t ß h a r e i - t d dei British him kiv satial. l i y rs ing at the foot of the stair, leading to the Gib son was somewhat,. e, in wh a er d e r h e e ad l f i u ng l e m re u a t i i n lat a ed ata c t o e nd o i f tion.He insensi bilityawwwas fri t g il h l t t f h u e ll following night, when death terminated his eminent It is a supposed that he had missed his footing on lida advanced been n o precipitated to an d the a d bottom.attained lie position n inj m. ure t d hi a s bo c u it t y t a h s e a he p a o d rt a ra n i d t pfaacinet.er.rs. orth REAL ESTATES IN THE COURT OF CHANCERY.— Power is given by the new Act (cap. 86) to the Court of Chancery to order real estates to be sold, and such sales are to be as valid as if directed to be made by a decree or decretal order on the hearing of a cause.

TO THE EDITOR OF TRE SUE. Snt,—l should fear that a narrative now-a-days of a two-hours' sail "on the bosom of the air" would have in it no special novelty, were it not for the fact that of late we have only heard descriptions of dan gerous trips, of "hair-breadth escapes," and of descents sufficiently perilous to jeopardise bone and limb. A quiet ascent, at the quiet hour of two in the afternoon, is really a novelty, and, I believe, an in teresting one. Tills was the hour selected for a trip to which I am about to refer you. We had no Italian Brothers posturing from the car; we discharged no fireworks, for we borrowed no romance from midnight; and we avoided the companionship of any Smithfield quadrupeds. Our party consisted of six gentlemen, piloted by the Solon of aeronauts, the veteran Green. The Great Nassau Balloon left the "Royal Property," on Mon day last, at a quarter past two, freighted with—Dr. Goodeve, 2, Kensington Palace-gardens; Septimus Parrott, Esq., Clapham-common; G. Moulson, Esq., Clapham; Charles Huffnagle, Esq., of . Calcutta, Consul of the U n it e d St a tes of Ame rica ; George Stevens, Esq., of Vauxhall; and myself. The day was flue, but occasionally cloudy and somewhat autumnal. At the hour above mentioned we left terra firma, and were very soon above houses, churches, and trees, enjoying a bird's eye view of our great city. In a little time distance vouchsafed us its " enchantment." Then all that was unpicturesque became lovely, and common things were clad in the drapery of the beautiful. We saw shorts strips of streets, and long strips of roads ; but surely not the streets and roads we are accustomed to walk and drive on, although there were little cabs there with baby drivers, that almost cheated one into the belief that they were rattling along a genuine highvvay ; and there were little omnibuses there, with little horses drawing them, driven by little coach men, E;nd there were Lilliputian ponies there, ridden by Lilliputian men " fussing" onward. And along the rouds there were little red houses with little blue roof's ' such as never could have been built with real bricks and timber, and before and behind them were garder,s almost as large as hearth-rugs, scrupulously neat and trim ; and here and there appeared little white houses, with a dark line round their tiny front gardens to indicate an iron railing, within which samplers were spread to look like ornamental lawns. In the distance appeared a zigzag river, not really like the 'Tnatnei, but bearing some resemblance to a map of it. Here and there little churches were most picturesquely placed, made, I am sure, entirely out of card-bola - ad; except the windows which surely must be made or gold-beater's skin. And then we saw miniature commons, dotted with little bits of sponge to imitate furze, with here and there a pond quite as large as a pie dish. And then we saw trees that looked like oaks and elms, only so ridiculously small; and then there were plenty of lines to represent hedges which surrounded fields not quite so large as tablecloths. And we discerned hay stacks too, timugh we mistook them for toadstools ' • and we beheld abundance of shrubs th a t cou l d n i cely be enclosed within tumblers. We seemed to be look ing at the world through an inverted opera glass. Nothing seemed real except .. the ballo on an d ourselves. Every thing had been minshed and idealized. It was easy to believe that some one had arranged in a most pictu. resque manner a multitudinous variety of beautifully executed toys, in order to represent a city and its en virons. As we rose higher the earth appeared like a co lossal bowl inlaid with marqueterie. We soon ascended rapidly', and were . presently in the midst of a cloud, which was very like being enveloped in a thick November fog. As we were still ascending we soon left the clouds below us, and in a few minute s were in an entirely new world . The sun was shining brilliantly, the sky was of the purest blue ; the atmo sphere was like that of summer, the clouds lay like a mighty earth below us. We seemed to have entered a land uninhabited as yet by beast, or bird, or m an . We could scarcely reason ourselves into the b e li e f t h a t we were not in an Artic r eg i on. Colossal accumulations of feathery snow, huge firm rocks, and many " a frozen Alp" ap parently s urrounded us, while the entire sur face below seemed solid as a world. In 'the distant horizon there was precisely the appearance of the ocean, and as if nothing should be wanting to com plete the illusion, the cliffs were there, the store was there, the foam of the breakers was there, nad rooted in the sea there stood in solitary grandeur the threatening iceberg. We were then 12,333 feet above the level of the sea. This entire scene made on all of us a solemn impression. It was scarcely pos sible to avoid feeling that " We are such stuff as dreams are made of." For a long period we had a reflection of our balloon in the distant clouds. It is strange that when we were retlly gazing on the earth, it appeared more like the picture of a world than its reality. When we were gazing on " cloud laud" we realized a positive, solid, and substantial world. We now began to descend ; at one time so rapidly were we going downward th at we overtoo k th e bal last we had just discharged, and afterwards received it on our beads. Occasionally in the clouds below us we discerned what appeared to bo a brilliant star. and sometimes we saw a cluster of s t ars like the Pleiades. We found, on nearing the earth, th a t t h ese s tarik e appearances were occasioned by our seeing, through small aper tures in the clouds, water on whica the sun was pouring its rays. The long rope vas now thrown from the car, th e grapnel followed, and in a f ew mi nutes we quietly descended at Cuckfleld, near Crawley, ab out f orty miles from Lekdon and thirteen from Brighto n . N e i ther in ascend i ng, descending, nor_ r in journeyi ng were we at a l l colscious o f motion. N o two hours ever passed more pleasantly or. fled more rapidly. Every one of our party feels himself a debtor to Mr. Green, whose lindness awl cour tesy each desires to acknowledge. All timidity w as ent i re l y banish,d, because perfect confidence was felt in the skill cf the experienced pilot who on this occasion made hi 503 d ascent. I am, Sir,&c., J. TELL TOPHAM.

The Royal party in proceeding to the Peurhyn Arms Hotel were loudly cheered, the people of the neighbourhood having assembled in great numbers to welcome them. As soon as night closed in bonfires were lighted on all the hills, and are now burning brightly ; the town is partially illuminated, and the most enthu siastic expressions of loyalty are heard on all sides.

THE ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.— STATISTICS OF The total extent of telegraph in England is nearly 4,000 miles, representing an outlay of about 300,000/. The staff 0 employes maybe taken at ppyntrag of 604 mom, A SLAVE STORY. (From " Three Years in Europe," by W. Wells Brown, a Fugitive Slave.) In the year 1851, there resided in the state of Virginia, a slave who was so white, that no one would suppose tor a moment that a drop of African blood ccursed through his veins. His skin fair, hair soft, straight, fine and white; his eyes blue, nose prominent, lips thin; his head well formed, forehead high and prominent; and he was often taken for a white free person, by these who did not know him. This made his condition as a slave still mere intolerable; for one so white, seldom ever receives fair treatment at the hands of his fellow slaves; and the whites usually regard such slaves as persons, who, if not often flogged and otherwise ill treated, to remind them of their condition, would soon " forget" that they were slaves, and " think themselves as good as white folks." During that year, an insurrection broke out amongst the slave population, known as the South ampton Rebellion, or the " Nat Turner Insurrection?' Five or six hundred slaves, believing in the doctrine that "all men are created equal," armed with such weapons as they could get, commenced a war for freedom. Amongst these was George, the white slave of whom we have spoken. He had been employed as a house servant, and had heard his master and visiters speak of the down-trodden and oppressed Poles; he heard them talk of going to Greece to fight for Grecian liberty, and against the oppressors of that ill-fated people. George, fired with the love of freedom, end zeal for the cause of his enslaved countrymen, joined the insurrection. The result of that struggle for liberty is well known. The slaves were defeated, and those who were not taken prisoners, took refuge in the dismal swamps. These were ordered to surrender; but instead of doing so, they challenged their proud oppressors to take them, and immediately renewed the war. A fero cious struggle now commenced between the parties; but not until the United States troops were called in, did they succeed in crushing a handful of men and women who were fighting for freedom. The negroes were hunted with dogs, and many who were caught were burnt alive; while some were hung, and others flogged and banished from the State. Among those who were sentenced to be barged, was George. He was placed in prison to await the day of execution, which would give him ten days to prepare for his doom. George was the son of a member of the American Congress, his mother being a servant in the principal hotel in Washingtoe, where members of Con gress usually put up. After the birth of George, his mother was sold to a negro trader, and he to a Virginian, who sent agents through the country to buy up young slaves to raise for the market. George was only about nineteen years of age, when he unfortunately became connected with the insurrection. Mr. Green, who owned George, was a comparatively good maAer, and prided himself on treating his slaves better than most men. This gentleman was also the owner of a girl who was perfectly white, with straight hair and prominent fea tures. The girl was said to be the daughter of her own master. A feeling of attachment sprung up between Mary and George, which proved to be more than mere friendship, and upon which we base the burden of this narrative. After poor George had been sentenced to death and cast into prison, Mary begged and obtained leave to visit George, and administer to him the comforts of religion, as she was a member of a religious body, while George was not. As George had been a considerable favourite with Mrs. Green, Mary had no difficulty in obtaining permission to pay a daily visit to him, to whom she had pledged her heart and hand. At one of these meetings, and only four days from the time fixed for the execu tion, while Mary was seated in George's cell, it occurred to her that she might yet save him from a felon's doom. She revealed to him the secret that was then occupying her thoughts, viz., that George should exchange clothes with her, and thus attempt his escape in disguise. But he would not for a single moment listen to the propoei• tion. Not that he feared detection; but he would not consent to place an innocent and affectionate girl in a position where she might have to suffer for him. Mary pleaded, but in vain—George was inflexible. The poor girl left her lover with a heavy heart, regretting that her scheme had proved unsuccessful. Towards the close of the next day, Mary again ap peared at the prison door for admission, and was soon by the side of him whom she so ardently loved. While there, the clouds which had overhung the city for some hours, broke, and the rain fell in torrents amid the most terrific thunder and lightning. In the most persuasive manner possible. Mary again importuned George to avail himself of her assistance to escape from an igno minious death. After assuring him that she, not being the person condemned, would not receive any injury, he at last consented, and they began to exchange apparel. As George was of small stature, and both were white, there was no difficulty in his passing out without detec tion: and as she usually left the cell weeping, with handkerchief in hand, and sometimes at her face, he had only to adopt this mode and his escape was safe. They had kissed each other, and Mary had told George where he would find a small parcel of provisions which she had placed in a secluded spot, when the prison-keeper opened the door and said, " Come, girl, it is time for you to go." George again embraced Mary, and passed out of the gaol. It was already dark and the street lamps were lighted, so that our hero in his new dress had no dread of detection. The provisions were sought out and found, and poor George was soon on the road towards Canada. But neither of them had once thought of a change of dress for George when he should have escaped, and ho had walked but a short distance before he felt that a change of his apparel would facilitate his progress. But he dared not go amongst even his coloured associates for fear of being betrayed. How ever, he made the best of his way on towards Canada, hiding in the woods during the day, and travelling by the guidance of the North Star at night. One morning George arrived on the banks of the Ohio river, and found his journey bad terminated, un less he could get some one to take him across the river in a secret manner, for he would not be permitted to cross in any of the ferry boats; it being a penalty for crossing a slave, besides the value of the slave. He concealed himself in the tall grass and weeds near the river, to see if he could embrace an opportunity to cross. He had been in his hiding-place but a short time, when ho observed a man in a small boat, floating near the shore, evidently fishing. His first impulse was to call out to the man and ask him to take him over to the Ohio side, but the fear that the man was a slaveholder, or one who might possibly arrest him, deterred him from it. The mart after rowing and floating about for some time fastened the boat to the root of a tree, and started to a neighbouring farm-house. This was George's mo ment, and ho seized it. Running down the bank, he un fastened the boat, jumped in, and with all the expertness of one accustomed to a boat, rowed across the river and landed on the Ohio side. Being now in a free state, he thought he might with perfect safety travel on towards Canada. He had, however, gone but a few miles, when he discovered two men on horseback coming behind him. Ho felt sure that they could not be in pursuit of him, yet he did not wish to be seen by them, so he turned into another road, leading to a house near by. The men followed, and were but a short distance from George, when he ran up to a farm house, before which was standing a farmer-looking man, in a broad-brimmed hat and straight-collared coat, whom he implored to save him from the .‘ slave catchers." The farmer told him to go into th© barn near by; ho entered by the f ron t d oor, the farmer follow i ng, and closing the door behind George, but remaining out side, and gave directions to his hired man as to what should be done with George. The slaveholders by this time had dismounted, and were in the front of the barn demanding admittance, and charging the farmer with secreting their slave woman, for George was still in the dress of a woman. The Friend, for the farmer proved to be a member of the Society of Friends, told the slave-owners that if they wished to search his barn, they must first get an officer and a search warrant. While the parties were disputing, the farmer began nail ing up the front door, and the hired man served the back door in the same way. The slaveholders, finding that they could not prevail on the Friend to allow them to got the slave, determined to go in search of an officer. One was left to see that the slave did not escape from the barn, while the other went off at fall speed to Mount Pleasant, the nearest town. George was not the slave of either of these men, nor were they in pursuit of him, but they had lost a woman who had been seen in that vicinity, and when they saw poor George in the disguise of a female, and attempting to elude pursuit, they felt sure they were close upon their victim. However, if they had caught him, although he was not their slave, they would have taken him back and placed him in gaol, and there he would have remained until his owner arrived. After an absence of nearly two hours, the slave owner returned with an officer and found the Friend still driving large nails into the door. In a triumphant tone, and with a corresponding gesture, he handed the search-warrant to the Friend, and said, " There Sir, now I will see if I can't get my Nigger." " Well," said the Friend, " thou hest gone to work according to law, and thou can now go into my barn." "Lend me your ham mer that I may get the door open," said the slave-holder. " Let me see the warrant again." And after reading it over once more, he said, "I see nothing in this paper which says I must supply thee with tools to open my door; if thou wishes to go in, thou must get a hammer elsewhere." The sheriff said, neigh bouring farm and borrow something which will intro duce• " he immediatel went in us to Miss Dinah; and " I will go to a search of tools. In a short time the officer and they commenced an assault and batten?, t u h p e o returned, n the barn door, which soon yielded; and in slave holder and officer, and began turning using all other moans to find the lost property;uwpethehbayut.antdo not there. After all ow er n e e . r in a their astonishment, the slave t h " " rage said to the Friend, hope of getting Dinah w,,asugyowsnaesi,ggthe on d e id he y r o e u ." .n a ‘ i l l Y t e h s ,e , b d u o t o I r e r i B s la n v o n. what y h t e door behind her, and if sawdid not her tell go n t thee d there yoa w s a h s uw a t she was not in the barn, for?" " Can't I d o what I please with my own barn door? Now I will tell thee; thou need trouble thyself 1 DO more, for the person thou a rt af te r entered the front door and went out time.he back door, and is a long way from hero by this Thou and thy friend must be somewhat fatigued by this time, wont thou go in and take a little dinner with me?" We need not say that this cool invitation of the good Quaker was not accepted b y the sfaveholders. George, in the meantime, had been taken to a Friend's dwelling some miles away, where, after laying aside his female attire, and being snugly dressed up in a straight-collared coat, and panta loons to match, was again put on the right road towards Canada. Two weeks after this found him in the town of St. Catharines, working on the farm of Colonel Strut, and attending a night school. George, however, did not forget his promise to use all means in his power to get Mary out of slavery. He, therefore, laboured with all his might to obtain money with which to employ some one to go back to Virginia for Mary. After nearly six months' labour at St. Ca tharines, he employed an English missionary to go and see if the girl could be purchased, and at what price. The missionary went accordingly, but returned with the 185 C) ...,, cad intelligence that on account of Mary's aiding George to escape, the , court had compelled Mr. G reen to se ll h er out of the State, and she had been sold to a Negro trader and taken to the N ew O r l eans market. As all hope of getting the girl was now gone , G eorge reso l ve d to quit the American continent for ever. He imme diately took passage . in a vessel laden with timber, bound fur Liverpool, and in five weeks from that ti me he was standing on the quay of the great Engli s h seaport. With little or no education , he found many difficulties in the way of geeting a respectable living, However, a h n. Man chester, where he he obtained a situatit.' ll as worked during the d ay, and took private lessons at night. In this way he l a b oure d for three years, and was then raised to the situation of a clerk. George was so white as easily to pass for a white man, and being somewhat ashamed of his African descent, he never once mentioned the fact of his ha v i ng been a slave. He soon became a partner in the firm that employed him, and was now on the road to wealth. In the year 1842, just ten years after George Green (for he adopted his master's name) arri ved in England,. ho visited France, and spent some day s a t Dunkirk. It was towards sunset, on a warm day in the month of October, that Mr. Green, alter strolling some distance from the Hotel de Leon, entered a burial-ground and wandered long alone among the silent dead, gazing upon the many green graves and marbio tombstones of those who once moved on the theatre of busy life, and whose sounds of gaiety once fell upon the ear of man. All nature around was hushed in silence, and seemed to par take of the general melancholy which hung over the quiet resting place of departed mortals. After tracing the varied inscr . ptions which told the characters or con ditions of the departed, and viewing the mounds 'neath which the dust of mortality slumbered, he had now reached a secluded epot, near to where an aged weeping willow bowed its thick foliage to the ground, as though anxious to hide from the scrutinizing gaze of curiosity the grave beneath it. Mr. Green seated himself upon a marble tomb, and began to read Roseoe's " Leo X ," a copy of which he had under his arm. It was thee about twilight, and he had scarcely gone through half a page, when he observed a lady in black, leading a boy some five years old up one of the paths; and as the lady's black veil was over her face, he felt somewhat at liberty to eye her more closely. Whi,le looking at her, the lady gave a scream and appeared to be in a fainting position, when Mr. Green sprang from his seat in time to save her from falling to the ground. At this moment, an elderly gentleman was seen approaching with a rapid step, who from his appearance was evidently the lady's father, or one intimately connected with her. He came up, and in a confused manner, a,keci what was the matter. Mr. Green explained as well as be could. After taking up the smelling bottle which had fallen from her hand, and holding it a short time to her face, she soon began to revive. During all this time, the lady's veil had so covered her face that Mr. Green had not seen it. When she had so far recovered as to be able to raise her head, she again screamed, and fell back into the arms of the old man. It now appeared quite certain that either the countenance of George Green, or some other object, was the cause of these fits of fainting; and the old gen tleman, thinking it was the former, in rather a petulant tone said, " I will thank you, Sir, if you will leave us alone." The child whom the lady was leading bad now set up a squall; and amid the death-like appearance of the lady, the harsh look of the old man, and the cries of the boy, Mr. Green left the grounds and returned to his hotel. Whilst seated by the window, and looking out upon the crowded street, with every now and then the strange scene in the grave-yard vividly before him, Mr. Green thought of the book ho had been reading, and, remem bering that he bad left it on the tomb, where he had suddenly dropped it when called to the assistance of the lady, he immediately determined to return in search of it. Aner a walk of some twenty minutes, he was again over the spot where he had been an hour before, and from which he had been so unceremoniously ex• pelled by the old man. lie looked in vain for the book; it was nowhere to be found: nothing save a bouquet which the lady had dropped, and which lay half buried in the glass from having been trodden upon, in dicated that any one had been there that evening. Mr. Green took up the bunch of flowers, and again returned ' to the hotel. After passing a sleepless night, and hearing the clock strike six, he dropped into a sweet sleep, from which he did not awake until roused by the rap of a servant, who, entering his room, handed him a note which ran as follows:—" Sir,—l owe you an apology for the incon veniences to which you were subjected last evening, and if you will honour us with your presence to-day at four o'clock, I shall be most happy to give you due satisfac tion. My servant will be in waiting for you at half-past three. I am, sir, your obedt. servant, J. Devenant. October 23, to George Green, Esq." The servant who handed this note to Mr. Green in formed him that the bearer was waiting for a reply. He immediately resolved to accept the invitation, and re plied accordingly. Who this person was, and how his name and the hotel where he was stopping had been found out, was indeed a mystery. However, he waited impatiently fur the hour when he was to see this new acquaintance, and get the mysterious meeting in the grave-yard solved. The clock on a neighbouring church had scarcely ceased striking three when the servant announced that a carriage had called for Mr. Green. In less than half an hour he was seated in a most sumptuous barouch, drawn by two beautiful iron greys, and rolling along over a splendid gravel road, completely shaded by largo trees, which appeared to have been the accumulated , growth of many centuries. The carriage soon stopped in front of a low villa, and this too was imbedded in magnificent trees covered with moss. Mr. Green alighted and was shown into a superb drawing room, the walls of which were hung with fine speimens from the hands of the great Italian painters, and one by a Ger man artist representing a beautiful monkish legend coa nected with o The Holy Catherine," and illustrious lady of Alexandria. The furniture bad an antique and dig nified appearance. High-backed chairs stood around the room; a venerable mirror stood on the mantel shelf; rich curtains of crimson damask hung in folds at either side of the large windows; and a rich Turkey carpet covered the floor. In the centre stood a table covered with books, in the midst of which was an old-fashioned vase fil!ed with fresh flowers, whose fragrance was ex ceedingly pleasant. A faint light, together with the quietness of the hour, gave beauty beyond description to the whole scene. Mr. Green had scarcely seated himself upon the sofa, when the elderly gentleman whom he had met the pre vious evening made his appearance, followed by the little boy, and introduced himself as Mr. Devenant. A moment more, and a lady—a beautiful brunette—dressed in black, with long curls of a chesnut colour hanging down her cheeks, entered the room. Her eyes were of a dark hazel, and her whole appearance indicated that she was a native of a southern clime. The door at which she entered was opposite to where the two gentlemen were seated. They immediately rose; and Mr. Dove nant was in the act of introducing her to Mr. Green, when ho observed that the latter had sunk back upon the sofa, and the last word that he remembered to have heard was, "It is her." After this, all was dark and dreamy: how long ho remained in this condition it was for another to tell. When he awoke he found himself stretched upon the sofa, with his boots off, his necker chief removed, shirt collar unbuttoned, and his head resting upon a pillow. By his side sat the old man, with the smelling bottle in the one hand and a glass of water in the other, and the little boy standing at the foot of the sofa. As soon as Mr. Green had so far recovered as to be able to speak, " Where am I, and what does this mean?" " Wait a while," replied the old man, " and I will tell you all." After the lapse of some ten minutes he rose from the sofa, adjusted his apparel, and said, "I am now ready to hear anything you have to say." " You were born in America," said the old man. " Yes," he replied. " And you were acquainted with a girl named Mary," continued the old man. "Yes, and I loved her as I can love none other." " The_ lady whom you met so mysteriously last evening is Mary," replied Mr. Devenant. George Green was silent, but the fountains of mingled grief and joy stole out from beneath his eyelashes, and glistened like pearls upon his pale and marble-like cheeks. At this juncture the lady again entered the room. Mr. Green sprang from the sofa, and they fell into each other's arms, to the surprise of the old man and little George, and to the amusement of the servants who had crept up one by one, and were hid behind the doors or loitering in the hall. When they had given vent to their feelings, they re sumed their seats and each in turn related the adven tures through which they had passed. " How did you find out my name and address?" asked Mr. Green. " After you had left us in the grave-yard, our little George said, 0, mamma, if there aint a book!' and picked it up and brought it to us. Papa opened it, and said the gentleman's name is written in it, and here is a card of the Hotel do Leon, where I suppose he is stop ping.' Papa wished to leave the book, and said it was all a fancy of mine that I had ever seen you before, but I was perfectly convinced that you were my own George Green. Are you married?" " No, I am not." "Then thank God!" exclaimed Mrs. Devenant. The old man who had been silent all this time said, " Now, Sir, I must apologise for the trouble you were pat to last evening." " And you are s i ng l e now ." " Y es ," she replied. " This is indeed the Lord's doings," said Mr. Green, at the same tim e b urst i ng into a cod of tears. Although Mr. D evenant was past the age when men shauld think upon matrimonial subjects, yet this scene brought vividly before his eyes the days when be was a young man, and bad a wife living, and thought it time to call their attention to dinner, which was then waiting. We need scarcely add that Mr. Green and Mrs. Devenant did very little towards diminishing the dinner that day. After dinner the lovers (for such we have to call them) gave their experience from the time that George Green left the gaol, dressed in Mary's clothes. Up to that time, Mr. Green's was substantially as we have related it. Mrs. Devenant's was as follows:—" The night after you loft the prison," said she, " I did not shut my e y es in sleep. The next morning, about 8 o'clock, Peter, the gardener, came to the gao l to see if I had been there the night before, and was informed that I had, and that I left a little after dark. About an hour after, Mr. Green came himself, and I need not say tbath ., e was much much surprised on fin din g me ther e , dressed in yearoitnad s clothes. This was t he first tidin gs they had o f your escape." "What did say when he that I had fled?" " 0! Mr. Green " continued Mrs. Devenant," he *mid to me when no one was near, I hope George off, but I fear y ou will have to suffer in his stea willd.lget told him that if it must be so I was w il ling to die if you cou ld live." At this mome n t G eorgs Green burst intoou tears, throw his arms around her neck, and exclaimed, " I am glad I have waited so long, with the hope of meeting you again." Mrs. Devenant again resumed her story:—" I was kept in gaol three day s, nd during which time I was visited a by the Magistrates two of the Judges. On the third day I was taken out, and master told me that I was liberated, upon cond ition __ that I be immediately sent out of the state. Where happened to be just at that time i❑ the neighbourhood a negro-trader, and he pur chased me, and I was taken to New Orleans. On the steam-bout we were kept in a close room where slaves are usual;: confined, so that I caw nothing of the pas sengers on hoard or the towns we passed. We arrived at New Orleans and were all put into the slave market for sale. I was examined by many persons, but none seemed willing to purchase me; as all thought me too white, and said I would run away and pass as a free white woman. On the second day while in the slave market, and while planters and others were examining slaves and making their purchases, I observed a tall young man with long black hair eyeing me very closely, and then talking to the trader. I felt sure that my time had now come, but the day closed without my be ing sold. I did not regret this, for I had heard that foreigners made the worst of masters, and I felt con fident that the man who eyed me so closely was not an American. " The next day was the Sabbath. The bells called the people to the different places of worship. Methodists sang, and Baptists immersed, and Presbyterians sprinkled, and Episcopalians read their:prayers, while the ministers of the various sects preached that Christ died for all; yet there were some twenty-five or thirt y Of us poor cr ea t ures confined in the Negro Pen,' awaiting the close of the Holy Sabbath, and the dawn of another day, to be again taken into the market, there to be examined like so many beasts of burden. I need not tell you with what anxiety we waited for the advent of another day. On Monday see were again brought out, and placed in rows to be inspected; and fortunatel y for me, I was sold before we had b een on the stand an hour. I was purchased by a gentleman resid ing i n the city, for a waitieg-maid for his wife, who w as j ust on the v startingtci ''iobile 'te pay a visit t o a near rela tto suit the s i tuation of a eve of o f I then dressed maid-servant; and, upon the whole. I thought that in my Lew dress I looked as much the lady es my mistress. "On the passage to Mobile, who should I see amo ng the passengers but the tall, long-haired man that had eyed me so closely in the slave-market a few days be fore. His eyes were again on me, and he appeared anxious to speak to me, and I as reluctant to be spoken to. The first evening after leaving New Orleans, soon after twilight had let her curtain down, and pinned it with a star, and while I was seated on the deck of the boat, near the ladies' cabin, looking upon the rippled waves, and the reflection of the moon upon the sea, all at once I saes the tall young man standing by my side. I immediately rose from my seat, and was in the act of returning to the cabin, when he in a broken accent said, Stop a moment; I wish to have a word with you. I am your friend.' I stopped and looked him full in the face, and he said, ' I saw you some days since in the slave-market, and I intended to have purchased you to save you from the condition of a slave. I called on Monday, but you had been sold and had left the market. I inquired and learned who the purchaser was, and that you had to go to Mobile , so I reolved to follow you. If you are willing, I will try and buy you from your present owner, and you shall be free.' Although this was said in an honest and off-hand manner, I could not believe the man to be sincere in what he said. Why should you wish to :-.et me free?' I asked. I had an only sister,' he replied, ' who died three years ago in France, and you are so much like her, that had I not known of her death, I would most certainly have taken you for her.' However much I may resemble your sister, you are aware that I am not her, and why take so much interest in one whom you never saw before?' The love,' said he, which I had for my sister is trans ferred to you.' I had all along suspected that the man was a knave, and this profession of love confirmed me in my former belief, and I turned away and left him. " The next day, while standing in the cabin and look ing through the window, the French gentleman (for such he was) came to the window while walking on the guards, and again commenced as on the previous even ing. He took from his pocket a bit of paper and put into my hand, and at the same time saying, Take this, it may some day be of service to you, remember it is from a friend,' and left me instantly. I unfolded the paper, and found it to be a 100 dolls. bank note, en the United States Branch Bank, at Philadelphia. My first impulse was to give it to my mistress, but upon a second thought I resolved to seek an opportunity, and to re turn the hundred dollars to the stranger. Therefore, I looked for him, but in vain; end had almost given up the idea of seeing him again, when he passed me on the guards of the boat and walked towards the stem of the vessel. It being now dark, I approached him and:offered the money to him. He declined, saying at the same time, • I gave it to you—keep it." I do not want it,' I said. Now,' said he, you had better give your con tent for me to purchase you, and you shall go with me to France.' But you cannot buy me now,' I replied, for my master is in New Orleans, and ho purchased me not to sell, but to retain in his own family.' Would you rather remain with your present mistress than be free?' ' No,' said I. ' Then fly with me to-night; we shall be in Mobile in two hours from this, and, when the passen gers aro going on shore, you can take my arm, and you can escape unobserved.' The trader who brought you to New Orleans exhibited to me a certificate of your good character, and one from the Minister of the Church to which you were attached in Virginia; and upon the faith of these assurances, and the love I bear you, I pro mise before high heaven that I will marry you as soon as it can be done.' This solemn promise, coupled with what had already transpired, gave me confidenee in the man; and rash as the act may seem, I determined in an instant to go with him. My mistress had been put under the charge of the captain; and as it would be past ten o'clock when the steamer would land, she ac cepted an invitation of the captain to remain on board with several other ladies till morning. I dressed myself in my best clothes, and put a veil over my face, aed was ready on the landing of the boat. Surrounded by a number of passengers, we descended to the stage lead ing to the wharf, and were soon lost in the crowd that thronged the quay. As we went on shore we encoun tered several persons announcing the names of hotels, the starting of boats for the interior, and vessels bound for Europe. Among these was the ship Utica, Captain Pei!, bound for Havre. Now,' said Mr. Devenant, this is our chance.' The ship was to sail at 12 o'clock that night, at high tide; and following the men who were seeking passengers, we went immediately on board. Devenant told the captain of the ship that I was his sister, and fur such we passed :during the voyage. At the hour of twelve the Utica set sail, and we were soon out at sea. "The morning after we left Mobilo Devenant met me as I came from my state room and embraced me for the first time. I loved him, but it was only that affection which wo have for one who has done us a lasting fa vour: it was the love of gratitude rather than that of the heart. We were five weeks on the sea, and yet the passage did not seem long, for Devenant was so kind. On our arrival at Havre we were married and came to Dankirk, and I have resided here ever since." At the close of this narrative the clock struck ten, when the old man, who was accustomed to retire at an early hour, rose to take leave, saying at the same time, " I hope you will remain with us to-night." Mr. Green would fain have excused himself, on the ground that they would expect him and wait at the hotel, but a look from the lady told him to accept the invitation. The old man was the father of Mrs. Devenant's deceased husband, as you will no doubt long since have supposed. A fortnight from the day on which they met in the grave-yard, Mr. Green and Mrs. Devenant were joined in holy wedlock ; so that George and Mary, who loved each other so ardently in their younger days, were now husband and wife. IMPORTANT DiscOVERT IN NAVIGATING SNIPS AT SEA.—It may not be generally known, that the latitude of a ship cannot be taken if the sun et athned artificialhorizon h b e e r n iz o e t n bo us th ea nvisei ble at the same time, and that land to obtain the latitude of a place, cannot be used at sea, owing to the constant motion of the ship destroying the horizontal surface. We understand that Mr. Brinsclen, of l%lont Saint Hillaire, C.E., has perfected a mode for using the artificial horizon at sea, so that it is perfectly altitue mayunin fluenced by the motion of the ship, and the altitude be taken at all times when the sun is visible. Such a disco. very will tend much to the security of floating property, the preservation of the lives of our hardy sailors, and must com mand the attention of merchants owing ship property.— Montreal Herald.

Th e persons applying are chiefly agriculturists, mechanics, and women (needlewomen, ser vants, &c.)

With respect to "fortune seekers" to the "gold diggings" although now in the middle of October, there are no less than forty ships getting ready in the St. Katharine's, London, West and East India Docks, ranging from 4UO, 500, 600, 800, to 1,500 tons each, appointed to sail during the present month to Port Philip, Geelong, Melbourne, Western Australia, Adelaide, Sydney, New South Wales, &c. ; and from Liverpool ten first-class ships with adventurers to the " golden regions." It is estimated that the Bank of England returns to be issued on Saturday next will show an increase of up wards of 100,000/, in the stock of coin and bullion. One of the leading bullion brokers has sent into the bank in one week no less than 400,000/. worth of Australian gold, and another sum of 100,000/. will go into the vaults of the insti tution this week, from the same quarter.
