On the first evening of his arrival they had a long conversation together. ria, but the first time said the Baron, giving Fabien this name for " we live at a period when it is not per young and brave man, such as you are, to country with no other occupation than kill planting cabbages.

But )ien far from taking this step spurred after him and said in a tone full of cordiality, " Excuse me Albert if I have offended you by any inconsiderate speech, I am not accustomed to give my thoughts that delicate expression which those can do employed al)out court, and I speak perhaps with the rudeness of one accustomed only to a country life. Do not then, I pray you, do not interpret so ill a reflection which I would not wish you to apply so in juriously. 1 distrust you my brother ! and why should Idoso ? Have you not always been a friend to me—a brother—a second father? Let us quit this painful con versation," continued he with evident regret. "To prove to you how far the suspicions you reproach me with, are from my thoughts, I declare to you that I am ready to obey you in all that depends upon me in bring ing to a successful conclusion the enterprise you speak of. From the moment that Elizabeth—the Countess de Montglat, I should say —or you have thought me worthy to fill a part in it, it cannot but be glorious and honourable, and as for quitting you my brother, I will never do so until you cast me from you." The Physiognomy of the Baron gradually assumed its previous calm expression. "That never will happen my dear Fabien" said he vehemently, `• henceforward we must live always united in heart and will. But I agree, n= never revert to this foolish difference, as painful to You as to me." _ _ At the same time they pursued their way and progres sed side by side absorbed in the various reflections which the little altercation had awakened in their minds. Fa- Lien, in spite of th e reconc ili a ti on w hi c h h a d f o llowed it, was sadder than before, while Albert seemed more ex cued. " Brother," said the younger De Croissi, after a very long inter•al of silence, `•I would not revoke the promise that I have made you ; permit me, nevertheless, to put a question —one onl y — This enterprise i n w hi c h a place is already designed to me, is it connected with a political THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD. party, such for example, as that of M. the Prince de " Ah, thin, I'd only wish I'd be after thrying that Conde, whose colours you bear, and one of whose gentle- same." men you are?

" Have you got the license?" says she. " Here it is, my lady," says he, and he gave it her. She heeded it to one of the gentlemen, who viewed it at tentively. Then, calling in her two servants, she turned to the gentleman who was reading. " Perform the ceremony," says she. And sure enough, in ten minutes, Pat Philan was the husband, the legal husband, of the lovely Lady C. "That will do," says she to her new husband, as he gave her a hearty kiss, " that will do. Now, Sir, give me my marriage certificate." The old gentleman did so, and bowing respectfully to the five-pound note she gave him, he retired with his clerk ; f or , sure enoug h , I h a d f orgot to tell you that he was a parson. " Go and bring me the warden," says her ladyship to one of her servants. " Yes, my lady," says she ; and presently the warden appeared. " Will you he good enough," says Lady C., in a voice that would call a bird off a tree, " will you be good enough to send and fetch me a hackney coach ? I wish to leave this prison immediately." " Your ladyship forgets," replied he, " that you must pay forty thousand pounds before I can let you go." " I am a married woman • you can detain my husband, hut not me." And she smiled at Philan, who began ra ther to dislike the appearance of things. " Pardon me, my lady, it is well known you are single. " I tell you I am married." " Where's your husband ?" "There, Sir," and she pointed to the astonished bar ber : " there he stands. Here is my marriage certificate, which you can peruse at your leisure. My servants yonder were witnesses of the ceremony. Now detain me, Sir, one instant, at your peril." The warden was dumb-foundered, and no wonder. Poor Philan would have spoken, but neither party would let him. The lawyer below was consulted. The result was evident. In half an hour Lady C. was free, and Pat Milan, her legitimate husband, a prisoner for debt to the amount of forty thousand pounds. Welt, Sir, for some time Pat thought he was in a dream, and the creditors thought they were still worse. The fol lowing day they held a meeting, and finding how they had been tricked, swore they'd detain poor Pat for ever. But as thep well knew that he had nothing, and wouldn't feel much shame in going through the Insolvent Court, they made the best of a had bargain, and let him met.

Through the kindness of Mr. Pearson, we were fa voured at an early hour with last evening's London paper. Evening Mail-qffice, Half-past Four p.m. The Hon. Company's steamer Cleopatra arrived at Suez from Bombay on the 19th inst., with 16 passengers. She has brought the tollowing dates :—Bombay, Nov. 1, Calcutta, Oct. 19, and China Aug. 28. PUNJAUB. Assassinations continue to take place in this country. Besides Shere Singh and the whole of his family, it is now known that the ruler of the Mooltau, Dewan Sawun Mull, and Herah and Zoolab Singb have also been murdered. Dhuleep Singh, a child of six years old, has been placed upon the throne. - It is not known whether Lord Ellenborough will inter fere, though reports of the immediate assemblage, on the Sikh frontier, of an army consisting of from 30,000 to 36,000 men, tend to induce a petty general belief that he will eventually, if not at once, do so. The "Army of Exercise," it would appear, is still to be assembled on the Jumna. What this force is to be nobody positively knows, though it is surmised it is intended for Gwalior. The Afghans, it is said, threaten to descend on Pesha war. Fabien hesitated : but his deference for his brother was so great, and his suspicions had been so little awakened of his projects, that he at once determined to abandon him self completely to whatever was required of him. " I will promise you, on my word, as a gentleman, that I will not weary you with useless questions," said he, with much simplicity. In Scinde sickness continues to be very prevalent. From CHINA there is no news of importance. The opium trade still flourished, and seemed likely to do so. The Bengal troops, about 12,000 in number, are to stop at Ferozepore. The crop of indigo this year has been ascertained to be about 160,000 maunds. " It is well, brother," replied the Baron ; " this obe dience does credit to us both. If you obey me, I can promise you as a recompence that which will be to you most desirable—the hand of Mademoiselle de Mont glat." News fiom Affghanistan has been received, which lead us to believe that Dost Mohammed is not destined to re tain very long the reins of authority at Caubul. He has become exceedingly unpopular, many of his subjects are in open rebellion—the chiefs are dissatisfied—conspira cies are forming against him—and an attempt has already been made to erect his assassination, which, however, luckily proved unsuccessful. The younger De Croissi was greatly moved by this speech, and in his transport of joy he was almost leaping from his saddle. " Can it be possible," cried he? " Oh, my brother! to obtain such a reward I would brave a thousand dan gers. But think you that Elizabeth would consent? " I am sure of it," replied the Baron, with vivacity ; "and she will soon give you assnrnnop of it Apprehensio - ns would seem to exist at Sirkarpore of an attack on our troops by the H ill tribes and the people of Moultau.

" My brother—my brother!" exclaimed Fabien, almost beside himself, " I will obey you even at the peril of my Icc " Albert cast upon him a look of triumph. " This is as I would see you," replied he, " and you are aptly disposed fur the proposition which will soon be made to you. We are now sure of understanding each other, Fabien ; and believe me, that your hopes will not be blighted." At this moment, at a turn of the road, the travellers perceived Paris in the distance. Although the metropolis did not occupy then that vast extent it now does, Fabien could not control an exclamation of surprise at the sight of that confused throng of towers, steeples, and palaces which appeared dressed out in such a fantastic manner in a transparent cloud. The Baron enjoyed for a moment his innocent surprise, when, approaching near him, he 1, in a firm voice, stretching his arms towards the " See you that immense city, brother ?

The Ballonne is the school of Taglioni ; it is lightness com bined with grace—the dance which seems to delight and float on the river.

From the multitude of simu lated dangers the dancer accustoms herself to real ones, as the soldier in war times accustoms himself to pillage.

This is the same Englishman who followed Van Ambnrgh for three years, ever believing that the moment would arrive when the wild beasts would sup on their master." --......---- A FLEET MARRIAGE Fabien regarded him with dumb surprise; but the Baron, as if he feared he had said too much, turned his head and spurred his horse onward. which proceede _ leisurely along during this conversation.

THE ISTHMUS OF PANA3sA..---" When the Spanish discoverers first overcame the range of mountains which divide the western from the Atlantic shores of South Ame. rica," said a distinguished statesman, (Lord Grenville,) they stood fixed in silent admiration, gazing on the vast expanse of the Southern ocean which lay stretched before them in boundless prospect. They adored—even those hardened and sanguinary adventurers adored—the gra cious providence of Heaven, which, after a lapse of so many centuries, had opened to mankind so wonderful a field of untried and unimagined enterprise." The very same point of land where, in 1515, the Spaniards first be held the Pacific, is the spot formed by nature for the realization of those advantages which their cautious po licy caused them to overlook. Ihe Creator seems to have intended it for general use—as the highway of nations ; and yet, after a period of more than three centuries, scarcely has the solitude which envelopes this interesting strip of land - been broken.—" Commerciat Intercourse between theAllantic and Pacific Oceans," in Blackwood' Magazine. GENERAL MISCELLANY. The new organ for Chester Cathedral, which arrived on Monday last, per railway, is said to weigh six tons. The total sum realized for the orphan family of the late Mr. Elton, who was drowned in the Pegasus, is £2380. It is said that the Hon. Mrs. Norton, daughter of the celebrated Brinsley Sheridan, is about to emigrate to America. Seven persons were burned to death in a farm house, which took fire on Wednesday, in the village of Millery, Gloucestershire. N. C. Brown, Esq. has been appointed to the collect orship of customs at Beaumaris, vice William Hughes, Esq. retiring. The Lord Mayor of York has ordered the police of that city to apprehend all boys or others guilty of whistling in the streets! According to Murphy's weather almanack for 1844, the coldest day in the year will be the 7th of January, and the hottest will be the 2d of August. A Mr. Swinburn of Ardee, has contrived a table fitted with a peculiar description of vice. which will enable shoe makers to work with great facility in a standing position. The Chester town council have sanctioned the line pro posed by Mr. Stephenson for the Chester and Holyhead railway, in preference to that recommended by Mr. Walker. The Lords of the Treasury, on the recommendation of the Board of Customs, have raised Glasgow from being a second-class p ort to a first-class. Raby Castle, the magnificent baronial seat of the Duke of Cleveland, in Durham, is about to be enlarged and otherwise improved by Mr. Burn, architect, of Edin burgh. On Monday information wars received in town of the destruction by fire of Rowdems, the mansion of Lord Nugent, near Exeter, on the monsing of Thursday last. The damage is stated to be at least £3,000. Two ar three buiding yards in Sumierland, which have been unoccupied since 1840, have been taken for the pur poses of ship-building, which will shortly be in full oper ation there. These signs of reviving trade, however small, are gratifying. PLEASANT' PROSPECT FOR MR. O'COV`7NELL.—Fear gus O'Conner, in his Northern Star of Saturday, in a letter addressed to Mr. O'Connell, tells the great Agitator that either repeal will be carried, or his head laid on the block by the Ist of April next. A Sunday or two ago, during the asking or publication of banns, at the Collegiate Church, Manchester,- the con gregation were not a little astonished at the forbitiding of two of the intendem marriages. The non-age of the par: ties (ladies) was alleged as the cause. The appointment of the Chief-Judgeship of Welling ton, New Zealand, has been conferred upon Mr. H. S. Chapman, of the Inner Temple, who has sailed in cam_ , pony with the new Governor, Captain Fitzroy, late Mem ber for Durham. THE LATE FATAL DULL.---The trial of Lieut. Munro and Lieut. Grant was on Saturday postponed until the next session of the central criminal court, in consequence of the former gentleman being; confined to his bed with typhus fever. The Northampton Herald, of Saturday, reports a speech , delivered, on Tuesday last.- by Earl Spencer, at a dinner - given by the Mayor of Northampton, in which the noble earl explicitly avowed himself an advocate for a total repeal of the Corn-laws. INHUM:MI CONDUCT.—A young- woman, named Ann M'Cormicle, the mother of three illegitimate children, was brought up at the Manchester Police-court on Friday, on a charge of attempting to murder her - infant child five months old,-by administering poison. She was committed for trial at the assizes. A Goon Lit A%P.—On Friday last, duritiga trial in some fields near the Terminus of the Great Western Railway, the steepje-chase horse Pilot cleared a space of 30 feet 10 inches, in a-leap over a brook, with a high bank and rail on one side-of it, carrying a groom or 122 stone, be sides the side, &e.

She had nine children, 48 grandchildren, 111' great grandchildren, and two great great grandchildren.—Halifax Guardian. CHESTER CATTLO- FAIR.--At the November fair, on Thursday, the show of all kinds of stock was deficient, and business was extremely slack. Calving heifers were somewhat enquired after, and were worth from £3 , to £ll each. Some inferior Irish beef was shown, which sold at about 51.1. per lb. and sink. Fat pigs were wot•th 3d. per lb. Very few sheep were shown. CHESTER CHEESE PAIR.—At the fair, on Wednesday last, upwards of 300 tons were piled for sale, and about a third of which went bad unsold. The sale was verydnt, and at reduction of 3s. to ss. per cwt. from the last'fair. Prices ruled generally from 455. to 60s. The increasing yearly importations of American cheese seriously affects the English cheese trade. MOST REMARKABLE CDTNCIDENCE.—At the suminiag up of the poll books at the late election at Salisbury, it was ascertained that from the three wards into which the borough is divided, Mr. Campbell received from each ex— actly 106 votes, the whole amount of his poll belag 3! Perhaps a similar kind of';coincidence is not to be, nor never will be found in electioneering annals. On Tuesday last Mary Ann Lacy, a young and fashion-. ably dressed female. wife of a- respectable tradesman, waa , brought up at the Marlborough -street Police-office, Lon- - don, and committed for trial at the Central Criminal. Court, for having stolen a piece of silk handkerchiefs:. while pretending to make some purchases at the shop of a silk mercer. TILE WHITE QUAKERS.--A, deputation from this body has just visited London. They have been extensively engaged in placarding the walls and boards at the west end of town during the last week with some of their fanatical effusions, denouncing vengeance on all but the favoured few. Their appearance in their singular garb excites much curiosity. No less than three fires, to amore or less serious ex tent, occurred in the course of last week in Manchester. In one case property to the amount of upwards of £lOOO was destroyed ; and in the other cases, had it not been for the timely arrival of the fire-brigade, the destruction of property must have been enormous. ATTEMPT TO BREAK INTO +KNITTSFORD GAOL.—On Monday night, a most dating. attempt was made to gain entrance to the treasurer's room,. in Knutsfoid House of Correction. At the adjourned. sessions it is usual to pay ail accounts belonging to the county, and, no doubt, the burglars were acquainted with the fact, naturally expect ing that there must be a large sum of money deposited there. TIIR TEA TRADE, Nov. 2.—The market has been heavy again since our last, and public sales being pressed, are not quite supported. The consumption goes on steadily nevertheless ; but it is-the expectation of very full supplies that keep down prices.- The stocks at the out ports are much larger than at this time last year. Last week the deliveries were 470;751b. EXTENSIVE FAILURE AT FoapAß.—lt is our painful duty to announce the failure,. on Thursday week, of one of our most extensive manufacturers, in consequence of which hundreds of our townsmen have been thrown out of work, with little prospect of receiving other than partial employment for some time. The other manu facturers in town deserve great praise for the exertions they have made to meet the present emergency ; but it is impossible that nearly 600 weavers can be employed until preparations are made to receive them, which will require time. The bankrupt's debts, it is said, amount to up wards of £ 2 7,000. —Montrose. Review. SUICIDE BY A CHILD.—OS Friday last the neighbour hood of Ketley-town was thrown into great consternation from the following distressing circumstance :—lt appears that a little girl, daughter of James Colley, was sent Sy her mother to get some coal from one of the pits, and being gone longer than usual, she was met by her brother, who told her that she would catch it when she got home. The child, it seems, dreaded the thought of going home, which she did not like, because her mother, she said, was not'kiad to her. She threw away her bonnet and pinafore, con trived to creep to the edge•of a pit, and threw herself into it. The pit was 200 yards deep. When her body was•got out it was in an emaciated state.—Shropshire Journal. ATT.EMPTED ROBBERY AND INCENDIARISM AT MAN CHESTER.—On Tuesday evening last some desperate thief or thieves obtained access to a warehouse belonging to Messrs. Lea, Birch, and Co., Barton's-buildings, Man chester-street, and, having forced open several drawers, in which, however, they did not find any booty,,they set fire to a quantity of cotton twist and departed. The fire mint have been discovered immediately after the villains had decamped, for- it had not extended beyond the twist; though, as the flames were raging beneath a wooden door, the whole premises.were in imminent danger. The ware house had been. secured by the persons belonging to it only forty minutes before the fire was discovered. The flames were quickly subdued, and but little damage was done. The police are actively engaged in the investiga tion of the affair. ARTESIAN WELL.—The Artesian well at the Royal Hospital, Haslar, sunk by Mr. T. Docwra, manager of the large Artesian well now in progress for supplying Southampton with water, has resulted in producing a most abundant supply of water, which has been analysed by order of the board of admiralty, and is found to be of the purest and softest quality. What is most surprising is, that the water rises through 125 feet of shingle and running sand, which is full of salt water, being affected by the tides. The trouble and difficulty in stopping the salt water out has been entirely overcome. The quantity of water that Mr. Docwra guaranteed to obtain was 12,961} gallons per day ; but the actual quantity obtained from the spring, 156 feet deep, was 59,328 gallons per day. This quantity can be pumped every day without reducing the water in the well more than about forty feet from the surface.—Hampshire Indepewlent, PENINSULAR AND ORMNTAL STEAM COMPANY.— The annual meeting of this company was held on Tuesday last. The profit and loss account showed a balance in favour of the company of £75,300 13s. lid. to the 30th of September last. From this sum was deducted £14,955 13s. 6d. for the amount of the March dividend of 34 per cent., leaving a disposable sum of £(ii01345 Os. sd. The usual dividend of 31 per cent. was declared for the six mouths ending on the 30th of September, and the remain ing undivided profits, amounting to £44,845 Os. 5d., were carried to the reserved fund.
