THE DAY'S NEWS. There can he no trestion as to the importance of union in Germany, in the present state of Europe.. Net only the smaller States, but Aus tria and Prussia ' likewise, must , all unite, and present - one' forMidable German phalanx, -the absence of which it is, as we see well observed, " that places the great Teutonic race in perpetual alarm for its liberties by a nation not more nume rous than itaelf,"—the revise of Which, there can be no doubt ) " is to be found in the fact • that the French are a nation, the Germans only an aggre gate of confederated States." . We quite agree; therefore, in the opinion, that "the emergency presses, and Germany is called upon to make its choice between the institutions that So often have ruined, and the unity and efficiency by which alone it can be saved." No' one can have watched with any attention the recent policy of the French Emperor, wilhont arriving at such a con clusion as this. Nor has England much less interest in such " unity and efficiency," than Germany has. It is in that direction she must look for her most reliable alliances, when these ....... .. • - - I ._ with France havebeen broken upa-11.4 6 1 e knows not how soon may be th'e., Vase. Atcordint ti private accounts . from Mex;co it Steins that General Miramon was influenced in hiareselntion to relinquish the contest at Vera Cruz, by the representations of the . British Government, conveyed through Captain Aldham of her Majesty's sb.ipValorot, 'oio had an inter view. with hint &ming his advance upon the city. A despatch. from Lord John Russell, it_ is stated, pointed. .out to both parties the outrages they were inflicting upon .their common country,,and also : the offences against foreign residents, for . which they would be held respoU'iiblt,tAa. Con eluded by advising an atatistice for six or twelve :months, sad tht summoning of a general assem blylviee which Miramon at once determined to set the example of following. After all, it would appear that there is really no available Commercial Treaty with France yet in existence. There_ has been a great dial a 'talc about one—much bargas.iiin* Anti bartering 'about it—and in alt. Which England was evidently to, have 'the worst of it ; and yet the Treaty itself has still to be contracted—such a Treaty, at_ any rate, as will not ' only deserve the name of one but be one of any practical advantage it ibis country. As the. Time* temaili respecting it, "we have deice a good thing in lowering our own dillies if it turns out that we can do without them; but, as for any return of this civility from France, that is a delusion, and the sooner our manufacturers open their eyes to the fact the better for their own comfort at least," The V, in such a case, is all-introrttnt i and so, indeed, is the stipulated return prom France having already hecorne a delusion. "It is vain to ask," as the leading journal further observes, " whether this is the sort of Treaty that Mr. Cobden thought he was making, because the Treaty is not yet Made, in the opinion of Government; and our mantfac turers find themselves asked to make it for themselves. The Wonder increases why the Treaty, yet to be Made, end doe oilly in the general, was ;not made A bllee and outright, by regular diplotnatists, of whom England possesses and maintains' a legion." The fact is, that • .. . . the whole negotiation has been a political job from beginning'to end. It was not on the 'Merits of the question that the British gTaistly entered into it, but as a nieatts to 'pito another end than that which Conahttrelal Treaties have ostensibly and legitimately in view —that, namely, of buy ing the support of the Manchester s•ilartA a distin guished member of whith was selected to conduct the negotiation'; 11 - iia so selected, not because he was a. diplomatist, or knew anything of Treaty making, but simply because he was popular as a Manchester partisan. And the consequence is, according to the Times, that elthoUgh " Mr. Cob den supposed himself Making a Treaty when he was surrendering all that should hive formed our side of the bargain; yet, now that the fact is too plain, /3ritiSh manufacturers are requested to go., to Paris and mend matters if they can, So far," ' continues our astute contemporary, " professional diplomatists hive a' triumph, for Lord Cowley ' i probably considered himself superseded by, the arrival of an Ambassador Extraordinary in the great apostle of Free. Trade. The officials are not the only people Who exhaust their art in, knowing how not to do a thing; for if 'the object was to give a fresh *opening %to British manufactitres • by the increase of a direct trade with France, that has not been done."

The accounts of the reception of the French troops in Savoy and Nice are somewhat conflict ing—More especially as to the latter province.

And not only is this the course that the journals of all sides are pursuing against us, but it is said there is scarcely ii'Frenehman, be he 'of What part be may, whO. does not express approval of it. The fact is,. the old grudge has never been extermi nated ; and it breaks out whenever we do any thing-to displease them. IN politics, perhaps, more than almost anything else, is this an age of shams ; and one Of the. Conservative Monthlies,* we observe, has an . able and seasonable paper in its current I'4ol*i showing very- forcibly how . Much of sham there is about the Ministerial Reform Bill,—oot only as respects, the character and objects of the mea sure itself, but more especially in the conduct of its authors and abettors. There was a time, it is pointed out, and that not very long ago; when Lord JOHN RUSSELL was all for " finality " on this questiOn of Parliamentary Reform. But then "he advocated 'finality,' not because it was neces sary to believe in it, but because it was (at that particular time) necessary to proclaim it." - Mit as time rolled on, circumstances changed. "As a public man, he got infinitely less scrupulous when it became clear to Lard JOHN RUSSELL—very clear indeed—that he Might even be set aside in the absence of some unreal agitation. To set . aside him was to set aside the right of a family to afflict a nation with their own nominee. Cer tain class interests would get to have no interest at all, if Parliamentary Iteform could not be made their monopoly." And hence he took it into his head, that no one had any right to deal with the • re-reform of Parliament but himself. Of course, to get the Liberal party to think so too, he had to throw his " finality " overboard, and take quite another tack. And when this had come to pass,— when, as our Constitutional contemporary con tinues, "Reform had become the monopoly of what people, who have mouths to say hard things, call the Liberal party,' a new measure of subsistence had elite tip far Lord PITIF RUSSELL: Here WAS a cry that could do hint service, just so long as he liked to use it. He lied lifted up his voice for finality' to serve one purpose. He could lift it up against it to serve another." Hence his rage and fury at a Conservative Ministry having dared to interfere with his monopoly ; and his virulent animosity against Mr. DISRAELI, in particular, for having had the audacity to introduce a Reforni Bill, in ap - Tosi-' tioti td MM . , in the House of Commons. Now in all this there has been a part played by Lord JOHN which may -well be .called a great sham. And no' wonder that the Bill in which it' has now resulted should itself partake of the same character. Net'er *as there a measure that bee_ kirAl its face more unmistakeably the ugly aspect of a corrupt compromise. And with only too much truth, therefore, has it to be said, that " whatever may be thought of the Reform Bill, however -far all classes may agree in its condem nation, it does seem that the into odection of lio . measure, however &lea' lo it as a sham, has ever *reeked so many public characters. People *horn you meet put up a wild laugh if you in dulge in any speculation as to what may have become of the morality of some of our public men. They are no nearer than we are in finding it; and perhaps the!' are -itaotl ttie further off because they do not care to seek it. The belief is growing, .and it has got to a great size, that pUblie life is, after all, a trade. That certain public men are no more particular than city men ; and that when any of them get themselves grave and, talk of morality, it is quite tittle to begin to laugh." Nor does Lord fOrti# RUSSELL by any means Altana alone in thus illustrating public life as a trade, and demonstrating that " certain pub lic men are no more particular than City men." There is Mr. GLADSTONE, it is shown, who " thought . if anything Lord DERBY'S Reform Bill went too far, whilst he now belongs to a Cabinet Which P!:•opaiiiti goes a very great "deal fUrther." Could there well be a greater sham in political principle than this ? But then it is Mr. GLADSTONE—it is one who, it has begun to be popularly thought, is not in the roll of common men. " Mr. GLADSTONE having a ready tongue and a character for unassuming, unaffected piety, people think that this sort of thing need only to be explained to be admired. Mr. GLAD STONE held that Lord DERBY'S Leform Bill would have been mere to his taste hid the fran chise been rather less extended. Bit then he is quite prepared to like another that concedes the franchise to a ledger p`tiblicir! 'There no change 'of 'Opinion tO talk about here. • Mr: GLADSTONE never had an opini.orl on the ; cir cumstances haVe haineti to, make' it profitable to iris to change." That is.te say,- le could not be Chancellor of the Exchequer • ;Vith Lord JOHN for his colleague without changing,—with out scattering all his previous convictions on the subject-to the- windt—and his now having acted accoredirigly tlaes; We cannot bitt COncii7 iii believ: 'oonstittite another great shain.- But turn now to still another and a different public character, who yet has affdrdel a simi lar political illustratiOni.-:- Mr. JGrizr BRIGHT, who has u elinlbect to Etti inheritance" through that same Mr. GLOSIONE: "He male poli tics a trade.

GOOD FRIDAY. Next to Christmas, Good Vriday has always been one of the holidayl which . claim itnnstial observance. All '14;16 and conditiod of the people P;4 deferenee to the day—not many, perhaps, in the way the most becoming and appropriate, considering the awful significance of its relation to our common Christianity; but with all it ie set apart as an unmistakable holiday. Yesterday formed no exception to the general rule. The weather, especially in the early part of the clay ; Wsts tetilarltably Ode; and "as toil, remitting, lent its turn to leisure," all Liver pool appeared to be astir. The unusually busy appear ance of *mil- therciliglifares gave token of the large num ber of persons *to -ald ns ~-great from the suf . - fo - unding . districts. Lime-street and Tithebarn-street swarmed with - the passengers which the heavy, trains were perpetually bringing from an early hour; and it "was surprising to witness the precision and regularity with which the vast additional traffic was managed at the various railway stations. Of Course the great bulk of the visitors were, as ustial, of the working these whci ere k4t etiiglayeci iri the Many, niertilfactttring establishments which abound in Lancashire aiore ihaii any other part of the world. There was an absence of the ruddy-cheeked lessee and sturdy, strong-limbed rustics who may . be seen .staring about in most of the large towns- at this holiday season: Cotten factories, linen mills, and print works usurp here the ground on which the ..firM and the homestead stand in other counties. This, hOwei - er; is a mere geOgraphical accident, and it is riot ac circumstance 7 4hidi would be et all deplored bY a real t3iclCy Sam. We often hear of the dwarfing and deteriorating influence of factory employ ment, but it is at least gratifying to see, at each recurring general holiday, that the factory has given to thou sands and tens of thousands not only the means of • subsistence, but the means of enjoynient: Never did a larger &timber otoWd into, our tovl4 Ira dr_ 4 B day than reached us from the various surrounding minufactdring districts yesterday—a fact which, in affOrdi pleashkevidenee of the prosperity of the *oiling dais& i acid it tliedrisl had searched for the wan and emaciated creatures that are fancied io fill_ the cotton mills, he would have been agreeably disappointed.

GREAT DISPLAY or FRENCH GOADS IN BOLD STHLET. The commercial treaty with France has certainly given an impetus to the shopkeepers of Liver pool, and French goods are beginning to be largely imparted. The rapidly increasing business of _Messrs. Shellard and Hodgson—a business confined entirely to - shails, mantles, and jackets for ladies—has compelled an extension of their already very elegant and spacious establishment. Amongst .the mare prominent altera tions have been the throwing the first and second floors of the houses 40, Bold-street, and 43, Wood-street, into a series of spacious and splendidly lighted show-rooms, second to none in -the kingdom probably for tl,e ,e qualities. The extra space thus given affords ample room for the effective display of the elegant stock wbieh has just been got in. We. understand, that the buyers of the establishment hive just returned from London and Paris. andlhat the .

EItitACIRDII. I .RY HISTORY OF AN I 'foagitht, .1...............0 FrOm the' Gimgetv Horning Herald. Henr3r,thornton ility is at present incarcerated in the North Prison of Glasgow, undergoing six months' int prisonment for uttering forged orders for provisions on mere than one shopkeeper in Cowcaddens.. He is about 35 CLitee; middle-sire in height, speaks with a slight 'English accent, and is a most plansible fellow. There is reason to believe that is a Odor Finglish curate's son, and one of those who are a grief to their parents. He received a tolerably good education, but was never in Cambridge University, and : therefore we may without hesitation throw his tragic love story out of sight as the " basekss. fabric of e vision." He did enlist, under the name of Thomas Watkins, and went with the regiment to the West Indies, where he deserted, acrd etit:ltd the Third West India Regiment. He was recaptured, punished, end permitted to join the 71st Regiment, which came to GlasgOvi In 1847, and here is the first time that he appeared in public in the western metropolis. He seems always .to have had a forte for preaching ; and in Glasgow he first attracted notice as a preacher of the Gospel. It may be in the remembrance of a number of our readers that about thirteen years age, a deserter was found pteL'chlng in Oteetillead 04oad sacra, church, and that after the forcnOthi service he WO marched off to the barracks a prisoner. That man *de Thornton Hay. In the end of 1847, the pulpit of Greenhead Chuich was vacant, and accordingly Hay having ingra tiated hitriself with a female manager of the church, who kept the keysthrough life be seems to hove readily captivated the sit sea—he preached four consecu tive Sabbaths under the name of tlih lev: Mr. Bertram, but whether "with acceptance" or not we 'canna ray; Having been at that time absent from his regiment five days, two sergeants from the 71st Foot waited upon him until he left the pulpit, when they conveyed him to durance vile in the barracks, where at that time his wife resided. He was tried' by court-martial, and sentenced to a period of imprisonment, his former desertion being also brought up against hint. After his discharge from the army, he returned to Glasgow and obtained d situa tion at the Theatre Royal, where he continued for four months. He now sought and gained employment in a cooperage, as journeyman, where he continued for a few months, and next transferred his coopering services to Kilsyth. After a sojourn of a few months there, he returned- to Glasgow, and resumed coopering and some thing else. He procured an introduction to one or two Free Churbh 'ministers, told his wonderful tale, and on Hogmanay, 1814, being iti4itfd tdiaturch soiree, he sat upon the platform with the other guests and epkialcers, and delivered an address. He then regularly attended a Free Church in the centre of the city, pretended great holiness of life, counterfeited the Christian character, and made a profession which paled the greater lights around him. By this pseudo-sanctity he imposed upon many, chiefly the "weaker vessels;" and the consequences " were wounded feelings, destroyed prospects, and ille gitimate children. To chow the cool audacity of the scoundrel, we may state that on ode occasion he invited two respectable women, to whom he was at the same futile paying his addresses, to his lodgings to tea, and then intro duced the one to the other as his sweetheart ! He likewise went so far ati to take a house in Portland-Street, and had it furnished by one a fES #elation of the person he was about to marry. Happily he was disce4eted ha time, and had to beat a hasty retreat. He next turned tip near London, and palmed himself off in a Roman Catholic family, as a greatly persecuted, poor Roman Catholic priest. Here he lived for some six weeks, but discovering that the Roman Catholic bishop of the diocese was abmit to visit his depet, he decamped. Of course; he repaired td London ; and under the garb,. and profession of a clergyman front Scotland; fie etiteeeded in defratitling several peopie out of considerable aunts, for which he was duly sentenced to twelve .nionths'impri sentient. Being diSeltaiged ford gaol in August, 1856, he sitceeedcd tIY Sanie means hi raising as nitich Money as carried him to Glasgow again. here he arrived "di si pretended agent of the London Missionary Society, just returned from India. In this character he traversed the city and neighbourhood, - addressing meetings here and there ; but although his speeches were quite: barren of new fact, and indeed disappointed the most unsuspecting, still, by his great holiness of life, and uprightness of character, he insinuated himself most astonishly into - the sentifidenee of ninny gridd people: he had; therefore, no difficulty in getting a loan of radridY, eepeddlly as he was just expecting his annual salary from the Mis sionary Society, along with his travelling expenses. By these means he made a pretty large haul in Glasgow ; he had not, however, uninterrupted success. In the east end of the city there is a large Sabbath class, composed of 100 young men and women. To one of the Toting titan al' the:t ekes, of his own name, he got introduced ; and by his plattsiiile isiittehes, Isle minis terial appearance, and frankness of manner, completely deceived him. ' He was in due course invited to the adult class. The scoundrel was more successful in that quarter than he ought to have been. He got in troduced to one of the young women, who belongs to a most respe6table family residing on the smith side of the river, and she accepted him as an idttiovAedied suitor; his saintly appearance much aiding his purpose. in fieceriitiet i 1856, hs was introduced by Miss -- to her minister, a highly res pectable U.P. clergyman on the south side of the river. About that time, their congregational soiree was to be held, and "the missionary" was announced as a speaker. The speech was delivered, but the general feeling in regdid td t it F 6 nissionaty " was that the London Mis sionary Sodety had hot triticli fo Vrig of it him. Hav ing been invited to dinner by the worthy Min et, it was wound tip by the guest obtaining the loan of Ahoht tliat time he got £5 froti the manager of a mill near Ruthergten-t'tfde..,6'. having strong suspicions, the U.P. minister made a few 4 - 414iieei; Which resulted in the discovery that there was no such agent Of the Lon don Missionary Society as Thornton Hay, and that doubtless he was an impostor. Information was accord ingly conveyed to the police, but " the missionary" suc ceeded id getting off to Liverpool. He was not again Eeeird of by the Glasgow authorities until about the middle of 1857, diid lie had pa:ssed through many remarkable vicissitudes of for-tilde: M the beginning of that year, on his arrival in Liverpool, he. g'aiiied the good opinion of several of the Established Church eleik there who opened to him their pulpits ; and by this means he was enabled to fleece a number of people to the tune of Upwards of £lOO. He next repaired to Edinburgh; and here he dame out as a clergyman of the Anglican Chtireli; ate:V.4 a surv e y of the state of the Episcopal Church in Scotland." We don't told* Midet what name he then passed, and although we are hot eet‘tain, yet it is very probable that he ran out of -cash here also, stud" required a loan or two: He preached at the Castle to the soldiers, and in other places in Edinburgh. He sub sethiently, repaired to London, and in coming back to LiVerPl Pi kW ac4tiainfante with a Glasgoii gentle man. Desirous of malting &OM tint of ttqtrattraintance , ship, he came to Glasgow ; but tins pla t ted thin time, and had to make a hasty journey to gclinlititgii, lie did tot remelt' long. Passing through Haddington, he sought' out v ritri irdpo'sed upon some of the descen dants of the great Script i 6 6einmentator of that town, obtaining money which conveyed 'hip"' to . Sunderland. Here he succeeded, by delivering a forged- loses from a friend in Glasgow, in getting from a female member of the gociety of Friends ; but her husband at once detected the forgery, and, getting a policeman, they caught the felldo at the railway station- as he was about to start fot Newcastle.

YOUNG CHINA.—The children begin to work very early, almost too young ; they get serious and sedate, are wonderfully old-fashioned, and think for themselves very soon. Though there is no great respect for old age, juveniles are net snubbed for being prococionS ; on the contrary, I have often noticed the little fellows give their opinion before their elders. It is by no means' rare to see children under twelve years of age with full charge of a shop or stall, and even, sculling ferry boats, the large scull enabling young bairns to move boat loads of people ; they fight their way independently through crowds of boats, and are sometimes as cheeky as cabmen, —Twelve years in China, by a British 848 418131. .• ME Soma, EVIL Ix MILL..—The• police statistics of 1859 for the borough of Hull, just published, reveal the fact that there were 20 brothels " well conduCted " as against 13 in 1858 57 of the second class, " well conducted, and frequented by thEy middle classes and youths," as against 69 in 1868; and 162 "disorderly houses, frequented by the lower orders and thieves," as against 177.

LYNCH LAW AT SEA: • the brig Madrigal, Captaitt Vosg-111., was lying - in he harbour of St. tbes; taking in a cargo dt salt. The last lisglifei *a's alongside, and all was bustle pit tWardy it being the liff6tl6ii of Captain Fosgill to sail on the following day,'when a feut tithe off from the shore and asked to see the captain on bfisW, He was of . medium size, with coal black hair, and !i very dark sallow complexion. He was dressed in the garb of a sailor, and although evidently a foreigner, spoke the English language with fluency and correctness. He was =fleas to get to America, he said, having a wife and family in New York, from Whom' lie had been . absent several months on a visit to his relatives in the neighbourhood of St. Übes. There was a full crew on board the Madrigal ; never theless, Captain Fosgill being a kind-hearted mar, and the stranger urgent in his entreaties to be allowed to work his passage to Boston, the captain granted his request, although not without reluctance, for, as he said, he did not like his looks." The anxious applicant for a postage, whose name was given as Francisco SaaveL Ira n w o told to bring his baggage on board the next morning, an ' oe ; nn board himself, as the brig would sail at an early hour. had picked up in Francisco Saavedra, the fellow they . - "h It St. ljbes, was stationed on the Second mate's Iva,— was soon ascertained that the story he told Captain Fasgill about his wife and family in New York, had no feadation whatever. One rnoining as the brig was drawing up with the Grand Bank, the werither being cold, drizzly and uncom fortable, Mr. Arkright callcd to Francisco and told him to go aloft, and put some parcelling are Mid the tov-mast back-stay, which was getting chafed against this main-yard. The fellow grumbled on receiving the order, and seemed in no hurry to obey it. "Away with yet, aloft, and do what I told you," said Mr. Arkright, in his mos( peremptory manner. Francisco gave the officer a savage glance, and muttered something in an insolent tone, but Made titi movement towards obeying the order. • • The patience of the mate was exhausted, and he seized Francisco by the collar, gave him a shake, and feiterated his commands. But no sooner did he loose his hold, than tlie bloody-minded knave thrust his hand into his bosom, and pulled a long Spanish knife. Before he could use it, however, a blow under the ear from the strong arm of the second mate itretched him stiff along the deck ! In a very bvief period the ruffian was hand-cuffed, and lashed to a ringbolt in the half deck, the booby-hatch was firmly secured, and a good opportunity was given him to ruminate in the lone darkness on his condition. He wsts confined below for two or three days, with a short allovninice of bread and water, when he became exceedingly penitent, aekticr<viedged the baseness of his conduct, asked the forgiveness of Mr. Arkright in the most abject terms. Captain Fosgill was apt to look on the most fool/Ta ble side of human nature ; and Mr. Arkright cherished no vindictive feelings. "I think we had better to take the rascal out of item, sir," said he to the captain. "'Tis some trouble to take Cate df him where he is, and if we can get work out of him, so melt the better. I'll be bound he'll mind his weather helm in fif(dre." He was freed from his irons add rehlaileci from con finement. k gleans of savage exultation passed over the ethisitler. nance the ottitiff, as with limbs free from bonds he passed up on deck. He went forward and entered the forecastle. He was heard to =lock his chest ; and immediately returned on deck, walked aft f passing several of the crew without saying a word. Careditt Fosgill had gone down into the cabin ; Mr. Harlin, the chief mate, was looking over the quarter-rail, and Mr. Ark right was standing alongside- the booby hatch, with his face towurds the etern of the vessel. As Francisco, with hasty strides and mischief in his eye, was approaching, the second mate; lack Gradshaw, who was at the helm, saw the glean of a knife as the villain drew it from his sleeve, arid cried otit, "Look mit, Mr. Arkright, that devil's after you again !" • Arkright turned round, and. at the moment, the knife was sheathed in his body to the hilt, and he fell heavily to the deck ! A rush was made towards the vindictive fiend by some of the men who witnessed the deed, but he brandished aloft the bloody weapon, menacing any one Who approached, with instantdeath. Further mischief, hoWeveri vrtts prevented by the promptness and presence of mind of Jack d'rgdebEtw, who, seizing a junk bottle, partly filled with oil, Idhish Was near him in the binnacle, he threw it at Francisco's held with so jest an 'aim, that it struck him 'on the left temple, and deprived him for a time of all strength or consciousness. The seamen, seeing the second officer lying 'on die deck, bathed in his blood, could with difficulty be re etrained by Captain Fosgill from wreaking summary vengeance on the rtionster. He was finally again .put in irons, and restored to the conftnement from which he had been only a few minutes before released, bat not until he had received sundry severe tokens of the indignation of the men. This awful event produced a thrilling sensation throughout the ship's company. Mr. Arkright, who was still living, was with great care removed to the• caliirl. but it was evident that the best surgical assist-. ance could be of no avail.. The murderer knew too well how to make sure of his blow. The unfortunate man suffered intolerable agony for two dayil,'lvben he expired. " — His body was committed to the deep with such solemn ceremonies as befitted the occasion. The glistening eyes of the weather-beaten seamen furnished undoubted evidence of the estimation in which their late officer was held; and while some heaped loud execrations on his murderer,. ethers muttered heavy denunciations of vengeance. On the evening of the day on which the remains of Mr. Arkright were consigned to the deep, the crew held a consultation, during the dog watch, about the course Which it would be expedient for them to adopt in relation to tite assassin. "It is our bounden duty," said Jack Gradshaw, "as men—as Christian . men—to string him up to the yard arm like a dog." "Ay f." remarked Allen Thompson. "If banging is dot to goad for him. To put him to death by inches, wodd Only be giving him his desarts !" "gal ; said Owen Doswell, " if we take him to the States, to Edsfcid, sartainly be tried and hanged according to Gunter. We shall be in port in a few days, when he will be pnt snug encnigh in a murderer's dun geon, and carried from there to the gallows, as an example to other bloody-minded villains; who, are so . handy with their knives." a lt -*ill be precious little Satisfaction to Ng," ex claimed nob' Filgrove, " to land the rascal safe and sound on the what?, even if he should be carved to a dungeoi;and afterwards tiatged. And, mayhap, if he isn't hanged now, he won't be iten'ated at all!" "That's as true as anything-Bowdttch ever wrote, Jacob," said Jack Gradshaw, " and besidesihre deliver him up to the law, we shall all of us be sent to jail, imd kept Se witnesses until the trial comes off, which may not be for six mouths to come ; and then after all, as Jacob has intinutterf, there are so many trap-doors in the law for the escape of' rogues, that it is two chances to one he'll slip through one of them, and be off to CntEt, to join his old shipmates on board some pirate or slaver. 1•'O . , iso, we have him in our power now and if' we let him go alit of our hands while there is a:breath left in his body, we deserve to be kicked to death by donkeys, and keel-hauled afterwards." This eliquent speech on the part of Jack Gradshaw, produced the desired effect. It silenced any scruples, which the most considerate among the inmates . of the foreedgfienlght entertain, about the propriety of intro ducing "lynch lust" on board the good brig Madrigal on the high seas. The men, during the rem:limier of the day, moved noiselessly about the decks, and performed in silence their various duties. The merry joke, theloycms laugh, the sunny countenance, and the elastic step, no longer bore *knees to the exemption of that , ship's company from anxiety and care. : The weather was pleasant, with the wind from the iitstward, and' the sea was remarkably smooth. During the first watch of the night, from eight o'clock until twelve, the larboard Or chief mate's watch was on deck. The waning moon had already risen in the east, and was shining brightly in the heavens. The ship was moving along gently through the water, close hauled, at the rate of only three or four knots, when eight bells e - te struck. Captain Fosgill, having been called by the mate, came on deck, and after having exchanged a few sentences with that officer about the weather, and the probability of a change of wind, Mr. Harlin went below, and soon buried all his cares and perplexities in sleep. Captain Fosgill, occupying the situation of officer of the deck in the place of Mr. Arkright, looked aloft to see if the sails were properly trimmed, went forward to ascertain if all the watch were on the alert, then walked the quarter deck fore and aft, with slow and measured steps. He looked into the binnacle ; seated himself on the weather hen-coop ; gaped as if he would swallow a grampus, then called Jacob Filgrove aft, a steady-going old sailor, in whose fidelity he could trust, told him to keep a good lookout, and if any change took place in th e wind or weather, give him a call. Captain Fosgill then passed down the companion-way, and was soon under the benumbing influence of "nature's sweet restorer." The men who had been impatiently awaiting the absence of the captain, now swiftly assembled on deck, and went silently but resolutely to work. They rigged out, some five or six feet only, the weather fore top gal lant studding-sail boom, and rove the tack, bringing both parts down on deck, and in order that every man might have a chance to participate in the work, they laid the fore-top sail to the mast, by squaring the head yards—handling the ropes with the utmost care; lest any disturbance on deck should he heard by the captain or mate. They unfastened the booby-hatch ; two of the men went down into the half deck, and having roused Francisco from his sleep, cut the lashings which con fined him to the ringbolt, and told him to go on deck , uthere he was tomited The prisoner obeyed these orders, not having th slightest suspicion of the horrible fate that awaited him • The men now led him to the forward part of the mai: deck on the weather side, and told him to say hi prayers, if he thought he stood any chance of makin his peace with God, for his time in this world was shore And while one of the sailors wa s p assin g the hasp:lnn $ noose round his neck, another was fastening to his fe 4 a bag containing several iron shot " What does this mean ?" almost shrieked the miser able-man, when he saw the ominous preparations for hi execution. "Do you intend to murder me ?" w hispei "No !" said Jack Gradshaw, in a hoarse "we are only going gently and quietly to put you ou of a world in which you are unfit to live !" "Oh !" sighed the wretched Francisco. "This dreadful ; Why do yo-t wish to kill me ? I never di either of you harm." "You are a blood-thirsty murderer !
