marriage. She again repeated the demand

promised explanation was made.
/ The amazement of Tudor, and the trans
port of his wife al the sudden change in their
fortunes and conditions, may possibly be con-
ceived, bur they certainly cannot be express
scd. Being incompetent to the task, will not
attempt to describe the scenes that success
svely followed; the embraces of the happy
couple, and the kisses exchanged-the joy of
the faithful servants at seeing their young
mistress once more set at liberty-the cha
grin, modification, and decampmcnt of the
inhuman uncle, and his family--the kind con-
gratulations of old friends and acquaintances:

well as those attended by her and her hus-
band-their many rides into the country, &c.

from, how many days he was in performing
the passage, when he intended to return, the
amount of fare for passengers and other Ques-

pirate answers to the same, asked leave to

and in case they concluded to do so, assured
the captain they would take passage with
him. They then left the cabin, but before
eaving the vessel. the gentleman turned to
