My attention had been attracted to this notice by its very frog ent appearance in the journal which I was chiefly in he habit of reading, and, front professional habits of thinking, I had set it down in my-own mind as a trap for Some c;trender against tho principles of mount and luem, i who's° presence in a criminal court was very earnostly desired. I was confirmed in this conjecture by observing pat, in despair of Owen Lloyd's voluntary dis closure of his retreat, a reward of fifty guinoas, payable by a respoctablo solicitor of Lotlibury, was ultimately of fered to any person who would furnish X. Y. Z. with the missing Man's address. "An old bird," I mentally ex claimed, on perusing this paragraph, "and not to be Caught with chaff; that is evidont." Still more to excite my curiosity, and at the same time bring the matter with in the scope of my own particular functions, I found on taking up the •• Police Gazette," a reward of thirty guineas offerod for the apprehension of Owen Lloyd, whose poison and manners wore minutely described. "Tim pursuit grows hot." thought I, throwing down tho paper, and hastening to attend a summons just brought mo front the superintendent: "and if Owen Lloyd is still Within thO four seas, his chance of escape soems but a F j )oor one." •'ln tho City?" - "Yes; hitt your business with Mr. Smith is relative to the extensive robbery at his West-end residence a week or two ago.

I at once proceeded to my destination, and on myar rival, was immediately ushorod into a diugy . backroom, whero I was desired to wait till Mr. Smith, whOwas just thou busily engaged, could speak to me. Casting my eyes over a table, near which tho clerk had placed me a chair, I perceived a newspaper and the "Police.

"Quito so." "You had better write with ink," bald Mr. Smith, pushing an inkstand and pens towards me. "Important memoranda should never, where there is a posibility of avoiding it; ho written in pencil. Friction, thumbing, use of any kind, often partially oblihirates them, creating endless confusion and mistakes. Aro you ready?". "Perfectly." "Owen Lloyd, a native of Wales, and it was under stood, descended from a highly respectable family there. About Iwo foot eight; but I need not describe his per 7 son over again.

"Yon will ocardely think at; after reading tho dote or tho five-pound note of tho ilampehiro COunty which you will find within the inner lining." ..Tlio date is 1831." Exactly! I have also strong reason for behoving that Owen Lloyd is now, or has been lately, residing in some part of Hampshire." "That is important." "This letter," continued Mr. Smith; and then paus ing for a brief space in some ernbarrassmont, ho added— " The commissioner informed me, Mr. Waters, that you were a person upon whose good sense and discretion as well as sagacity and courage, ovary coefidenco might be placed. 1 therefore fool leas difficulty- than I otherwise should in admitting you a little behind the family screen, and entering with you upon matters ono would not will lingly have bruited in the public ear."

This.l always felt" was very imprudent: and the result was, that Iny son Arthur Smith—only about two years her senio r she was just turned of sev enteen when her father was compelled to fly from his creditors--firmed a silly, boyish attachment for her.-- They have since, I gather from this loiter. which I found yesterday in Arthur's dressing-room, carried' on, at long intervals. a clandestine correspondence, waiting for the aercut of more propitious times—which being interpret ed." added Mr. Smith with a sardonic sneer, "moans of course my death amid burial." "You aro in possession. then, if Miss Carelino Lloyd is living with her father; of his precise placo of abode?" "Not exactly, Tho correspondence is, it seems, Car ried on without the knowlodgo of Owen Lloyd; and the girl attics in answer, it should seem. to Arthur's inqui ries, that her lather would never forgivo her If, ,under presont circumstances, she disclosed his place of rest deuce—roe can now very well understand that—and oho introats Arthur not to prosist, at least for the prosent, in his attempts to discover her.

"I gather front this note, sir, that you can afford mo tidings of my long lost brother Owen; where is ho?" he looked ea gerly round the apartment. gazed with curious earnest ness iu my fact), and thou again turned with tremulous anxiety upon Mr. Smith.

I could not stand the look which Mr. Lloyd fixed up cin me, and turned hastily away to gaze out of the win dow as if attracted by the noise of a squabble between two draymen, which fortunately brokO out at the moment in the narrow, choked-op street. "For what purpose, air, are you instituting this eager s9arch after my brother? It ci.nuot bo that---' No, no lio has left you say more than three years: besides, the biro supposition is es wicked es absurd." l'Tho truth is, Mr. Lloyd," rejoined Mr. Smith after a few moment's reflection, I "there is groat danger that my sou may disadvantageously connect himself ; wit you —with your brother's family- 7 may, in fact "marry • datighter Caroline. Now I could easily convince Ow . "Caroline!" interjected Mr. Lloyd with a tremulous accent, and his dint oyes suffused with tears—" Car o truly her daughter, would be namod Caroline." An instant after he added, drawing himself up with an air of pride uud some sternness; "Caroline Lloyd, air, is 'a person who, by birth, and, I'doubt not, character and attainments, is a fitting match for the'son of the proud eat merchant of this proud city,."

I waited c:ts Mr. William Lloyd soon afterward, and lis tened with painful interest to tho brief history which ho, with childlike siusplicity, tnarrated of his own and broth er's fortunes. It was a sad. oft-told tale. Thoy had been early loft orphans; and deprived of. judicious guidance, had run-J-William more ospecially—:a willd career of die .ipatation, till all was gone. Just before the crash nso 1 say had both fallen in love with the sense woman, Cero ino Hoywortis, who had preferred the meeker, snore gentlo-heartorjOwen, to Isis older brother. Theyparted in anger.' obtainod a situation as baililt and overseer of an estate in Jamacii, where, by many years of toil, good-fortune and economy, ho at length ruined his health and restored his fortunes; and was now return. ed to die rich:in his native country; and, as ho had till an hour before feared, unlamented an unattended save by hirelings. I promised to welts lintwnliately I ha t seen his brother; and with a sorrowful heart took leave of the vainly, rejoicing. proinaturety-agal man. I arrived at Sauthamson by the night-coach—the rail way was but just begun, I remember, and was informed that the boat mode of reaching Beaulieu—Bewley, they "pronounced it—was by crossing alio Southampton _river to the village of flythe, which was but a few inilesdis lance from Beau How. As semi as I had breakfasted, I hastened to the quay, and was soon speeding across I the tranquil waters in ono of tlt, sharp stemmed wherries which plied constantly between the shores. My attention wassoon arrested by two fivros in tho stern of tho boat. a man and woman. A slight examination of their fea tures sufficed to convince me that they were Jones and ' hie Wife. They evidently entertained no suspicion of pur suit; and as! heard them toll the boatman they were going on to Bewley, I determined for the present not to disturb ther fancied security. It was fortunate I did so. As soon as we had landed they passed into a mean looking dwelling which from some nets, and a boat under repair, in a *Wien yard in front of 'it, I concluded to be a fisherman's. 1 As ito vehicle could bo readily procured, I determined on walking on, and easily reached Beaulieu, which is char mingly situated just within the skirts of the New Forms+, about twelve o'clock.

In the language of Syracuse Reveille, there is truth and sound sense in the article which we give below front the Star of Me North, and we commend it to our readers. Oar observation has been limited, it is true. but it has a itisfied us that the credit system is the course of the poor man, and that it has made more rich men poor, that com munity has ever taken thought of. It leads to moues in m .king purchases—to extravigance in use of luxuries —to litignien almost interminable—to misunderstanding' and btternoss in business rolations—nnd frequently to the complete destruction of eocitd happiness. It taxes pov erty and cheats'-honest toil; and it involves mires and children in the difficulties and troubles that ought to be confined to their authors "the lords of creation." • Debt is the curse of our age. It unnerves lgidaltry. and clogs the movements of business. kis an i mkt* that weighs down trade—an evil spirit goswiug away at the Vitals of prosperity. , Debts means the mark of man's (all from perfection. Ho makes debts as soon as he has a name to be charged by; and marks down credits as 200 a as ho can write names.

Debt makes tnan a slave and robs him of his toil, his eontentment. his independence, and too often of his integrity. limas tors him to m lite him fear his friends. It makes him a Omit tool to do the vorlost meanness at his master's bid ding. It girds him with fetters and bonds worse than those with which a malefactor is bound.
