bic, tattered clothes that were piled in the
street, and the wretched carpenter wasted to
haggard skeleton by his weary affliction,
leaned upon his crutch and with his tremb-
ling hand wiped tear of repentance from his
eye! 1t was pitiful scene, and one atwhich
the citizens who passed stopped moment

OF Rum's destruction. Allan went away and
IN his warm Office sat down and worshiped
his gold in bags, while his victims were helped
for the night into a miserable shed near the
cottage around whose happy hearthstone they
commenced life urder such happy auspices !:

Levere comforted her and assured her that sht
should ot.want for anything and placed in he
hand purse of gold
Rudolph had now been absent for severa
consecutive hours and he fastened to his mas
ter and entered his Office in sad plight; his
face bore the unmistakable evidences of weep.
ing and IN fact he presented entirely differ,
ent appearance from anything Allan had ever
before witnessed. Allan exclaimed:
Why, Levere, what upon the earth"
9 very sad case Monsieur, very sad-Uerg
Sad!" and he handed him the rent he had re-
celved from the hands of the dying woman and
told him of all her sayings and what he had
seen. Allan clutched the pieces of the rent
money and gave earnest attention to the say

Ian sat in mooly contemplation and then rose
to his feet wringing his hands and passionate
ly exclaimed -
$ Can it be possible !"
Levere was sent away to his room and he
left his master. who was now in an excitement
he had never before witnessed; his narration
OF what he had seen at the Yellow House had
riveted deep impression on his mind and one
which could not readily be removed
LeVere went to his chamber and locking the
door proceeded to the examination of the wild.

strange as it may seem, the lite history tifere
written so completely overpowered him that
he was found in half insensbIe condition
from deadly swoon. by his master, who had
heard him fall and had fastened up stairs,
forced open the door and found the invincible
Frenchman on the floor, together with the cas-
ket and the manuscript. He soon arose, how
ever, and secured the prize and safely locked
it up. From that day forth he was changed
being he became sad and melancholy. AS

shall see in a subsequent Chapter.

down his throat gallons Of the fiery poison,

that it had not in one short year burned out
his very vitals and entombed him in the
drunkard'S grave! He was unable to pay
the bill, and he was forced to give his mort

FREE LEcTURE.-Thcre are in Canada about
thirty thousand colorcd Refugees, Il majority of
whom are destitute Of homes. Extreme suffer-
ing has prevailed among them during the past
winter-many freezing for want of rainicnt,
others furnishing for want of bread. A large
majority of their children arc without schools,
and growing up without education. A plan has
recently been started for the cffrctual and per-
mancnt relief of these poor people. A gcnern
meeting in their behalf will be held ut the
Town Hall, Watcrtown,* this (Sabbath) evcn-
ing, November 2lst, 1852. Rev. Mr.. Foote,
(who has spent some time in Canada, and who
brings most cordial testimonials from wise and
good men, of different religious and political
vews0 wil address the meeting. Other Cler-
synHn will also be present.
A large attendance is requested.

CONGRESSIONAL.

As yet nothing Of Importance has transplrcd Mt
Washington either in the Senate or House of Repre-

lralion have made their respective reports. The
Secretary Of War recommends, among other things,
stronger Notifications along the Atlantic coast He
thinks the different forts should he rendered imprrg
nable against any force that might be sent against
them. The Secretary of the Navy deems it expc-
dent in fact necessary, that osgns should be again
resor:cd to in that department.
Senators and Representatives arc continually taking
"their seats to-day" On the llh inst, several
culories were delivered in the Senate, in honor Of
DANIEL WEBSTER. Among them are 4 few chaste
and beautiful remarks from our Senator, Hon. A. p.
Butler.

The same article gives most satisfactory and
lucid account of the expedition, its spirit Intentions

FILLMORE letter to the Emperor of Japan, Is to OBJ

his subjects the necessary supplies Of coal which OIL
steamers in their outward and inward voyages to and
from India may reqalre.
sThe objects of the present expedition to Japan are
entirely peaceful, and simply to offer propositions
the Japanese which would be beneficial to both ma

From the .ibI,cyillc Banner.

Mr. EDITOR E:-South Carolina stands in q
peculiar position. She is disintcgratcd her prin.
clples arc the true principles of the Constitution
ofthc United States, and by these principles she
row stands and will always stand, but the doc
trnc that the majority is the constitution, is
about TO tramplc down the Constitution itself.
1t this be done the Union is gone, and with the
ruin of The Constitution the ruin of the Union,
and in this catastrophe the hopes of freedom will
perish.
In this peculiar position of South Carolina,
standing to her principle as see does and will
continue TO do it is all important, that she slionld
have in Congress Statesman attached TO her
principles aud able to explain them. In the Sen
ate, she has Statesmen and 30 she has in the
House of Representatives but slle calls for en-
perience iirmncss and political knowledge. Such,
Statesman is Col. F. w. Pickcns and many
friends nominate him for Congress.

THE JAPAN EXPEDITION.

THE expedition fitted out BY the United States for
Japan is exciting universal interest. Our own Gov.
rrnment, although more nearly concerned in the
immediate fate Of that expedition, cannot be said to
be more anxious in regard to its final results than tho
European nations Inteed it is matter Of the
greatest Importance that the commercial and mcrcan-
tile world should take any and every measure TO
protect their Interest," and particularly those persons
entrusted Herewith.
The Geographical position Of Japan, however,
being directly opposed to that Of possession on the
Pacific renders it necessary that all rcs.sls
passing between or thereabouts shuuld be protected
1t is said that hundreds of our whale fleets are obfyc
annually to pass through the straits of Sangar near
the islands of Niphon and Jesse. If however by ship
wreck, stress of weather, any other unfortunate
concurrence of circumstances, the lfacd crew arc
cast upon these shores, instead Of receiving that hos
pilality and assistance generally met with among
other nations, they arc Immediately seized confined
and either put to DEATH shut up for life in cages
and exhibited like beasts of the forest
The spirit of the agc, informed as it is and con.
iinualy making rapid strides towards refinement and
civilization caanot nor will not longer book such
state of affairs, and we more than pleased to see
our Government taking the lead against policy 50
shocking 10 the enlightend views Of The nineteenth
century that exhibited by the japanese islands
The area of Japan is estimated at 2G6, 600 square
miles, and it, population jO,0OO.OOO The Ernperors
army consists Of 100000 foot and 20 600 harse The
Lords, however, compelled maintain soldiers in
proportion 20 their revenue which enables the Elm.
peror to call into the field at any time army of
900 foot and $4,000 horse. The foregoing items

sends us, says The Carolinian, the following note,
in relation 10 the late Withdrawal of students
from this institution:
AS the leaving of.lOS students from this inst-
tuition may give rise to mistakes, especially
abroad, which might injure the college, would
beg leave to call the attention of yonr exchanges
from without the State to the following brief
statement of he affair; Il;
The Commons Hall of the college being ob-
noxious to most of the students, los from the
different classes entered into pledge TO leave
the college, provided The Trustees did not abol-
iSh the hall at their meeting in December. The
Trustees having not abolished the hall, the lOs
students have applied for aud received dismis-
sails. These leave without the least unfrirndly
feeling existing between themselves and the Pre-
Icssors of the college; and many will apply, for
admi;tancc next May, should the commons hall
be then done away with. may also state that
have hccn reliably Informed that ut this last
mentioned date licensed boarding houses will be
subttutrd for the commons ball or a. least ar.
