The most eminent Publishers of London have emulated each other in producing works of standard value at a price such as i Ptaes them within the reach of the most moderate . 11 , e ume without any extraordinary deterioration, theseith paper, in size, or in typography. Among delightful results of competition between the _P ur veyors of literature must now be ranked—and letiked in a position very far indeed from subordinate —the series of volumes, now popularly known as the reusable Books, profusely and some of them very i le v erly illustrated—published in Gough-square by thisrY Vizetelly. Al rea dy there have appeared in Way several works of a really remarkable cha racter. Five volumes have now been issued—and three out of the five merit from their peculiar in to, rest and importance to be especially particulariz ed. 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 °f the most gifted as he was also one of the most ill starred of the literary children of America. Under the, title o f " T a l es o f Mystery, Imagi nation, and 4 lumour—a n d Poems," from the hand of Poe, many a n English reader was thus ma de acquainted with the 11 ;enderful stories, in the construction.and composi tion iwhich thatl unfortunate and accomplished roan__ Three fifths true genius , and two -fif t h s mere fudge" — showed suc h marvellous and almost bewildering etu te eesg: They found themselves thus enthralled followingby the strange and astounding discovery of buried l d and jewels recounted in the " Golden lhey l as the English edition calls it, the " Gold 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 i ßeadable B oo k s pu bli s h e d b y M r .

Within that introductory instalment of the serial, moreover, the subscribers became possessed of the musical stan zas of " The Bells " and with the whole of that str ange K poem of " The Raven," which will.perpetuate " name of Poe, if nothing else does, and which has to a comparison in the range of modern literature . for ",, s `e,Paetic blending of genius and originality—with we o f the one exception of " The Ancient Mariner " " 4 ,' Samuel Taylor Coleridge.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. pretty nearly as triump h ant h. wt yesterdaythe iem Sett,—My a — kt i Iteas :o Pn l f r te t s v e w p i r o l u s t e s times; tiwn ho igh a a g 3 n h ' in rrc thee commendation having instance is f t 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 th© 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 Sovs. Handicap, Mr. Mare's filly by Touchstone, out of Kitty of Coleraine, with 7st 9lb up, took the load at starting, made all the running, and won cleverly by a length. Pug Orrock, with the top, and rather stiffish. weight of Sat 91b up, obtained the second place from Pride, 7st 9lb, by a clear length. This running of Pug Orrock's, conceding 14ibs 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 mina'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 ror the 10 Sovs. Handicap, Exeter conceded 2 yrs end 101 b to Herbert, and won by a short length. Telescope, who received a stone 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 Vaultress stuck to one another throughout the race, end 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. Hambletonian 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 to-morrow—the 20 and 15 Soya. Handicaps and 10 Soya. 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, b ft. C.C. Ilex, in all probability, will just beat Hugo. Match, 200, h ft. T.Y.C. Filly by Don John, out of Miss Sarah, is just good enough, I think, to beat the colt by Cotherstoue, out of Lucy Banks. The field for the Prendergast Stukes 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 rabe for second place between the other four, Estrella probably having the best of it, Sittingbourne and Pharold filling the third and fourth places, Stone Plover last. The betting on the Prendergast in town this morning makes Estrella 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 TWA lURF. 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 Arayott, Phlegm, 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 he 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 Phlegm 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 finished a bad third, Indian Warrior next, Little Davie fifth, and Kingston sixth. The race was run in 4 min. 7beC. The parties conne c t e d w ith W ea thergage and his trial horse, Joe Mill er , w i n l arge sta k es; the gentle men, with few exceptions, are losers.

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 had 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 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. Mit. GREEN'S FIVE HUNDRED AND THIRD ASCENT. - TO TTIE EDITOR OF TIIE, SUN. Sra,—/ elioulcl fear that a narrative now-a-days of a two-hour;' sail " on the bosom of the ni7" 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," end of deseens 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. This 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, Dq., Clapham-common; G. Moulson, Esq., Clapham; Charles Huffnagle, Esq., of Calcutta, Consul of the United States of Ame rica ; George Stevens, Lq., of Vauxhall; and myself. The day was fine, 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 eyo view of our great city. In a little time distance vouchsafed us its " enchantment." Then all that wee 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 I 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 highway ; and there were little omnibuses there, with little horses drawing them, driven by little coach men, and there were Lilliputian ponies there, ridden by Lilliputian men " fussing" onward. And along the roads there were little red houses with little blue roofs, such as never could have been built with real bricks and timber, and before and behind them were gardens 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 Thames, 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-board; except the windows which surely must be made of 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, though we mistook them for toadstools ; and we beheld abundance of shrubs , that could n i ce l y be enclosed within tumblers. INe seemed to b e look ing at the world through an inverted opera glass. Nothing seemed real except the balloon and ourse l ves . Every thing had been minifie d and idealized. It was easy to believe that some one had arranged in a most pictu. resque manner a multitudinous variety of beautif u lly executed toys, in order to r e p resent 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 thi c k November fog. As we were still ascending we soon left the clouds below us, and in a few minutes 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 man. We could scarcely reason ourselves into the belief that we were not in an Artie region, Colossal accumulations of feathery snow, hug e firm rocks, and many " a frozen Alp" ap _ parently surrounded uq, 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 shore was there, the foam of the breakers was there, and 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 6, W e are such stuff as dreams aro mado of." For a long period we had a reflection of our balloon in the distant clouds. It is strange that when we were really gazing on the earth, it appeared more li k e the picture of ' a world than its reality. When we were gazing on " cloud land" we realized a positive, solid, and substantial world. We now began to descend • ,It• one time so rapidly were we going downward that w e overtook the bal last we had just discharged, - and afterwards received it on our heads.

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 A. thy and overhauled the accounts, when th e deficiency in question was discovered. The fact was intimated by some person . to Mr. O'Keefe, and since then he has not made h i s appearance. It further appears, as ewe been informed,. that the greater portion of the deficiency was rai sed on fictitious bills, presumed to be cirawn the ex-manager, till he contrived to dispose of parties who knew nothing whatever of theni—tha.t the money so represented was retained in the possession if is strongly suspected, a series of gambling transactions and extravagancies, in which it was his habit , it is stated toindulge rather freely. We have heard that be 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—that in Dublin be was known to frequent a certain hotel where a gambling table is kept, and that it was there the greater portion of the very large amount of which he contrived to un burden himself was disposed of. If it should turn out to be true that the money was raised on bills drawn by him in the names of other parties, and the proceeds kept for his own use, it betrays a species of a droitness In the way of embezzlement of which we have seldom heard a pa rallel." -- , DEPARTURE OF MR. ABBOTT IJAP/RENCE.—We understand Mr. Abbott Lawrenc e, the late respected re take pre his - sentative of the United States in this country, will departure from London to-day, and will leave Liverpool by the Boston steamer on Saturday. DEATH OF LORD 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 1809 marriage, in 1806, with Miss Greig , da u g hter of William Greig the , Esq., Gayfield-place, Edinburg h. Born in Willie year , de deceased peer entered the Royal 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 Dumerieff, in the county of Dumfries; and by this lady, who died on the 10th of June, 1836, had issue a son, the lion. 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, 1846. He 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 from 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. GIBSON, AnTisT.—We learn with pain that John Gibs on, Es q , the well-known artist, met his death in a shocking manner.

He was landed at Deal, and thence cut off at the hospital at C a nterbury, where it is believed taken to the he Li plug pn Well. t.~-- _ EVENING-, (Prom Three Years in Europe," by W. Welle Bsown, a Fcgitive Slave.) in the year 1851. there resided in the state of Virginia, a fthsve who was so white, that no one would suppeso for rs moment that a drop of Atr:can blood eoursed through hie veins. Hie skin was fair, hair soft, straight, flea and white; his eyes blue, nose promitient, lips thin; hie head well formed, foreheud high and prominent; and he was often taken for a white free person, by those who did not know him. This made hi 3 condition as a s:ave still more 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, au 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. Ho 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, and 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 fere cieus struggle now commenced between the parties; but not until the Ileitrd 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. lie 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 Washington, 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. Georg© was only about nineteen years of age, when ho unfortunately became connected with the insurrection. Mr. Green, who owned George, was a comparatively good master, 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 ture s. The girl was said to be the daughter of her own master. A feeling of attachment sprang 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 end 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. See 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 fur a single moment listen to the proposi 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 rein 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 lest 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 tuld George where ho 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. Tho 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 ho 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 had 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 too slave. He concealed himself in the tall grass and weeds near the river, to ace 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 slavebolder, or one who might possibly arrest him, deterred him from it. The man after rowing and floating about for some timo fastened the boat to the root of a tree, and started to a neighbouring farm-house. This was George's mo ment, and he 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 aide. 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. He felt sure that they could not be in pursuit of him, yet he did not wish to be seen by them, so h© 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 ho implored to save him from the " slave catchers." The farmer told him to go into the barn near by; ho entered by the front door, the farmer following, 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, arid 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 get 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 full 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 telt 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 banded the search-warrant to the Friend, and said, " There Sir, now I twill 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, ho said, "I see nothing in this pap which says I must supply thee with to ols to open myer door; if thou wishes to go in, thou must get a hammer elsewhere." The sheriff said, "I will go to a neigh bouringeig bouring farm and borrow something which search of tools.

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 weut accordingly, but returned with the 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 becore him, Mr. Green thought of the book ho had boon reading, and, remem bering that he had 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. After 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 • polled by the old man. Ho 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 en 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 fer you at half-pait 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 for the hour when he was to see this new acquaintance, and get the mysterious meeting iii 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 . ho was seated in a most sumptuous barouch, drawn by two beautiful iron greys, and rolling along over a splendid gravel road, completely shaded by large 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 cora nected with "The Holy Catherine," and illustrious lady of Alexandria. The furniture had 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 iu folds at either side of the largo 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 filled 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. Deve nant was in the act of introducing her to Mr. Green, when he observed that the latter bad 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 he remained in this condition it was for another to tell. When ho 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 eye-lashes, 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 eac h other's arms, to the surprise of the old man and litt l e George, and to the amu sement of the servants who ha d cre p t u p ono by one, and were hid behind the doors or loitering in the hall.n When they had given vent t o their feeling, they re sumed their seats and each in turn related the adven tures through which they had passed. How d G id yeti find out my name and address?" aske Mr. re . ere After you had left us in the grave-yard, our little George said, 0, mamma, if there w e nt book!' . and d picked it up and brought it to us.. tte P e p le a opened dh it, and an ere is said the gentleman's name is a card of the Hotel do Leon e , the hwerrie b o l o s k u , p a p n e d s e said i s it s wella ping.' Papa wished to lea; had ever seen you before, all a fancy of mine that but I was perfectly convinced .that ~y ou were my own George Green. Are you married? " No, lam not." " Then thank God l" exclaimed Mrs. Devenant. The old man who had been silent all this time said, " Now, Sir, I must apologise for the trouble you were put to l as t evening." " And you are single now." "Yes, she replied. "This is indeed the Lord's doings," said Mr. Green, at the same time bursting into a flood of tears. Although Mr. Devenant was past the ago when men shauld think upon matrimonial subjects, yet this scene brought vividly before his eyes the days when he 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 wo have to call them) gave their experience from the time that George Green Up to that left the gaol, dressed in Mary' s clothes. time, Mr. Green's was substantially as we have related it. Mrs. Devenant's was as follows:—" The night after you left the prison," said she, "I did not shut my eyes in sleep. The next morning, about 8 o'clock, Peter, the gardener, came to the gaol 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 that h mu ch surprised on finding me there, dressed in your was clothes. This was the first tidings they had of your escape." " What did Mr. Green say when he found that I had fled?" " 0!" continued Mrs. Devenant, "he ssid to me when no one was near, I hope George will get off, but I foar you will have to suffer in his stead. I told him that if it must be so I was willing to die it you c ould live." At this moment Georgs Greendim burst l into t e ars, threw his arms around her neck, an e I a m glad I have waited so long, withth e e xc ho a pe e o d i meeting you again." Mrs. Devenant again resumed her story:—" I was kept in gaol three days, during which time Ivisited by the Magistrates and two o f the Judges. was On the third day I was taken out, and master told me that I was liberated, upon condition that I be immediately sent out of the §tate. There happened to be just at that I- OCTOBER 14, A ST : 4A.V.f: STOR sad intelligence Chet on amount of Mary'a fading George to escape, the court had compelled Mr. Green to fall her out of the State, and he had been sold to a Negro trader and taken to the New Orleans market. As ail hope of getting the . girl wa s new gone, George resolved to quit the American continent for ever. He imme diately took passage in a vessel laden with timber, bound for Liverpool, and in five weeks from that time he was standing on the quay of the great English seaport. With little or no education, he found many difficulties in the way of getting a respectable living. However, he obtained a situation as porter in a large house in Man chester, where he worked during the day, and took private lessons at night. In this way ho laboured for three years, and was then raised to the situation of a clerk. George was so white as easily to pass for a a hite man, and being somewhat ashamed cf his African descent, he never once mentioned the fact of his having been a slave. He ?!ooa I:Kceme a partner in the firm that employed him, and was now on the road to wealth. In the year 1842, just ton year; after G.aege Green (for he adopted his master's name) erriv,:d in England, I ho visite , l France, and spent some days at Dunkir k. It was towards sunset, on a warm day in the month of October, that Mr. Green, after strolling some distance from the Hotel de Leon, entered a burial-ground and wandered long alone among the silent dead, gt.zing upon the many green graves and marble 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. Atter tracing the varied inscriptions 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 spot, near to where an aged weeping a illo w bowed its thick foliage to the ground, as though anxious to hide from the serutinizleg gaze of curiosity the grave beneath it. Mr. Green seated himself noon a marble tomb, and began to reed Roscoe's " Leo X ," ati copy of which he had under his arm. It was then 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, ho felt somewhat at liberty to eye her more closely. While 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, asked what was the matter. Mr. Green explained as well as he 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 bad 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 had 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. 18A'l 4- time in the neighbourhood t negro-trruler, and he pui-w chased roe, end I was taken to New Orleans. On the steani-boat we were kept iu a close rocs where slaves are usually confined, so that I saw nothing of the pas sengers on board or the towns we passed. We arrived at New Orleans and were all put into the slave market for :,ale. I WO,E 7 enamiced by many persons, but none saemed willing to purchnl - ,e nae; us all thought me too white, and said 1 would ran 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 Llt sure that my time had now come, but the day closed without my he log 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 mo so closely was not ma American. " The next clay was the Sabbath. The bells called the people to tee different places cf worship. Methodists setts, ra.friklin,,aidsnirdeansd of E B a pasts immersed, and Presbyterians thepis ce e r ioaunss sects read preached prayers, ed rhat while Christ died for till; yet there were some twenty-five or thirty of us poor creatures confined in the Negro Pen , ' awaiting the close of th e H o l y Sabbath, and the dawn o f another dee, to be egain taken into the market, there to be examined like so many beasts of b ur d en . I need not tell you with what anxiety we waited for the advent of another day. O . n Monday we were again brought cut, and placed in rows to be inspected; and fortunately for me, I was sold before we had been on the stand an gentlemanho r vt e •a si s d ju e s g t ()inn the e hour. I was purchased by a city, for a waitieg-maid for his wife, w eve of starting for mobile, to pay a visit to a n ear rela tion. I was then dressed to suit the situation of a maid-servant; and, upon the whole, I thought that in my new dress I looked as much the lady es my mistress. " On the passage to Mobile, who should I see among 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, b 10!1 after twilight had let her curtain down, and pinned it with a star, and while I was seated on the deck of th bolt, near the ladies' cabin, looking upon the rippled waves, and the reflection of the moon upon the sea, all at once I saw 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 sew 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 resolved to follow you. It 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 set 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 sistee, you are aware that I am not her, and why take so much interest in ono whom you never saw be fore?' 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 int. 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 bo a 100 dolls. bank note, on the United States Branch Bank, at Philadelphia. My first impulse was to give it to my mistress, hut upon a second thought I resolved to seek an opportunity, and to re turn the hundred dollars to the stranger. Therefore, I looked for but in vain; and had almost given up the idea of cecing 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, raying 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 sent for me to purchaeu 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 he purchased me not to sell, but to retain in his own family.' Would you rather remain with your present mistress than bo 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 are 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 csn be dune.' This solemn promise, coupled with what had already transpired, gave me confideueo in tho 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 bo past ten o'clock when the steamer would land, she ac cepted an invitation of the captain to remain on board wish several other ladies till morning. I dressed myself in my best clothes, and put a veil over my face, and 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 piny. As we went on shore we encoun tered several parsons announcing the names of hotels, the starting of boats for the interior, and vessels bound fur Europe. Among these was the ship Utica, Captain Pell, bound fur 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 for such we passed ,during the voyage. At the hour of twelve the Utica sot sail, and we were soon out at sea. "The morning after we left Mobile 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 we have for one who has done us a lasting fa vour: it was the love of gratitude rather than that of the heart. Wo 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 Dunkirk, 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 tn n t e hl! grave-yard, Mr. Green and Mrs. Devenant were _Joibal w ar in holy wedlock ; so that George and My, loved each other so ardently in their younger day s, b were e now husband and wife. =---- _—___ IMPORTANT DISCOVERY IN t he NAvIGA SHIPS AT SEA.—It may not be general l y known, that latitude of a ship cannot be taken if the sun and horizon be not both visi ble at the same time, and that the artificial horizon orizon used used seaon land to obtain the latitu de of a place, be at , owing to the constant motion of the ship destroying the horizontal surface.
