the last summer and autumn in building a wing to
Taymouth Castle, the magnificient-seat of the .War•

east side, which Mrmed part of the original building.
It is generally understood that the cause of the corn.
pletion of the building at the present time is refer
red to no leas than an expected visit of Royalty.
Rumour Kaye that it is fixed, so far ut least as such
movements can be so, that our young Queen is to
visit her ancient kingdom of Scotland next year;
and in the list of noblemen's residence to be hon.
Gored by her presence, Taymouth Castle occupies a
distinguished place.—

Another Steam Packet Disaster.—The steam
packeePegasua, of Leith, for Hull, with a valuable
cargo of goods, and about 70 passengers, struck up
on the Salt Scar Rocks, on wNich the north pier of
Redcar Harbo . ur is designed to be constructed. The
passengers being in bed at the time were suddenly
awakened by the crash, and the greatest consterna.
tion prevailed on board, the land, though at the dis
tance of only a mile, not being visible, owing to log
gy weather. As the dny dawned, their situation
was discovered from Redcar, and assistance was re
ceived from the shore. Marty of the passengers
landed,' amongst whom were several solicitors,
on their way to Liverpool, to embark for Canada.
The sea was tUrtunately remarkably smooth, or the
most fatal consequerce must have ensued, as on the
very same rocks the Caledonia, of Aberdeen, was
lost, with 17 ramie on board, and many others have
there Met the same fate. The steam-packet Pegs
sue lay upon the Salt Scars about rive hours, her en.
gines being able to be kept going, to assist the hand
pumps in keeping down the water in the hold. She

of the above railway are proceeding _very rapidly
with the works on the line between Glasgow and

embankments making a little way an this side of
the Three-mile house, on the Paisley road; some
hundreds of workmen may be seen employed at this
place. It is truly a grand sight in seeing so many
hundreds of men employed at this season of the year.
It is elpecte6 that the whole line ofrailway between
Glasgow and Ayr will be opened in the spring of
1 , 40. When it, is completed it will make Paisley
one of the most flourishing commercial towns in the
whole of Scotland ; and, besides, it will greatly en.
hence the. value of property in that town.

The United Service Gazette says, It is rumoured
in the heat infettmed military•bireies that each regi

men. Nothing official on the subject has yet trout!.
pired ; but that such a measure is in contemplation
we have every reason to

The bed-chamber of Madamoiselle de Guise, in
the Hotel of her uncle the Marshal de la Ferte, was
as gorgeous and tasteful, as the beauty of the fair be

which adorned the apartment had just chimed the

eight days this season, and I am already over hsad
and ears in love, and what is worse, with a womam'
who scorns me—the first I believe that ever did so.
I think she is right though, for I have certainly a

jovial old Marshal de la Ferte, who entered at the

dislike you, despite ley efforts." Thus saying she
bowed archly to Richelieu, i iid stepping to her toilette,
took off the splendid mantilla, which gracefully en
velloped her person.
"My dear Mrashal," whispered Richelieu, "now
is the moment for my declaration—stow is the time
to complete a triumph—when a woman says, she
can never endure you, love is gushing from her very
heart—persuade me to stay, and contrive to give
me an instant's private conversation with Julia."
The Marshal nodded acquiescence, and. Richelieu
donning his cap, the plumes of which shaded his
features, the perfection of manly beauty, addressed
the lady carelessly,
"Ilidf past eleven—au revoir mademoselle, dreams
Might and sweet as yourself be with you."
'Julia bowed her adieu, Mit the Marshal interposed,
, may, wait an instant Richelieu, I have a message to
send by you to the minister of the interior, amuse
my niece, till I prepare it, return in a minute."
..Certainly, my dear Marshal,—but don't hurry
yourself on my account."
"Oh no," said Julia archly, “his grace de Riche
lieu, will patiently subject himself to my tedious
company for the sake of friendship—he knows there
are thorns on some rose bushes."
“Ah madcap! madcap !” laughed the good de la
Ferte, u he cloud the door, and entered Julia's
boudoir
"Julia, I trust has forgotten our quarrel of yester
day r said Richelieu, opening his conversation.
"Quarrel ! what did I disturb the equanimity of
the Prince of sighing lovers ! I was not aware that
I was capable of such a minute."
"Lady, you alone are igdorant of the power of
your charms v.—will you helieve me, when I swear
ou are the loveliest and moat amiable woman in .
Paris 1"
"And suppose I should, what then I"
,aThousaruis may have told you so, none ever felt
the truth of the assertion, so deeply as I do Julia"—
continued he, as he threw himself on his knee before
her—A. love you to distraction !"
"Ha ! ha! ha I a declaration ! poor Young man,
you don't know what you are saying : yon have :bon
tracted such a habit of making these assertions, that
they pop out quite unintentionally !"
"If you doubt my love, exact some proof, some
sacrifice —"
..And are you really serious ?—well then, its you
love me so tenderly, I shall be merciful, and only .
require a short period to test the strength and sin
cerity of your affection:'
"Name it, beloved one !" said Richelieu, while the
fares of triumph were lighting his eye.
"Oh—l will not be cruel; some four or five yews
will suffice."
"What have I done, madam," said the Duke,
endeavoring to conceal his chagrin,aB he arose from
his knee, qin what do I merit such cruel raillery ?"
"How ! do you call it raillery—if your passion be
sincere, will it not endure so long 1"
al should languish and die, are the probation ex
pired
"Oh shocking ! but I promise to relent, as soon as
I see your life in danger."
"Would that` endangering my life could win
your against whom shall my sward be drawn ?"
“Softly ! most /slan Troubadour I no tilting for
my love, if you please ; what I mean by your life
being in danger is nothing so heroic, a mere vulgar
galloping constimption."
"Madam, this is not a subject for jest," said Ri
chelieu, becoming nettled in spite of himself.
“51mow it my lord r -Idotnot jest, and to prove it,”
contained the incorrigible fair an; "your probation
'than commence from thin Very hour."
"Madam, your resolution is - ridiculous and un
just!"
"Ridiculous !" said the pioud, beauty, angry in
her turn, "with your grace's Permission, we will drop
the conversation ; I shall suffer my o to be impor
tuned do longer."
"Very well, madam," said Rich. - vering
his composure, as he found his vantage ground, but
still assuming anger"—the conqueror has frequent

he madothe vanquished inibenslie, and she •

“Very likely,” respond4the lady, with a proud

"You Igo mistaken, midair', and I will feese it to

uls there any thing wondltrful in that I every day

..This is too much, my lord—never more let me
see the most despicable of your sea! Since my un
cle has desired you to svrait him here, I shall not
command you to quit my aparudent, but shall leave
,it myself, till you have left my uncle's hotel"
Thus saying,Aulia proudly and angrilj withdrev,
to her boudoir, and Richelieu seating himself, thus
communed with himself,
ul am defied then ! what's to be done I—Cupid
inspire me !—let u p see-1 have it I eureka eura
ka ! Dubois !"
He took out his tablets and wrote, as his valet an
swered, his summons when he bad concluded, he
addressed
'Dubois, I have, business for you—take this note,
it contains your instructions, thispurse may aid you
in their execution and reward you for your trouble.
Be secret, not a word to any living soul, and when
you have finished, return with a ladder below that
window, and let me know when you arrive by clap
ping your hands. Is that my cloak on your arm 1"
"Yes, my lord," bowed the valet.
"Leave it—it may be useful ; vanish !"
As Dubois left the apartment to execute his mas-
ter's plans, the door ofJulia's boudoir, re-opened, and
the Marshal made his appearance, - exclsiming, :
"Hey day, your grace ! what is the matter between
you and Julia? she appears much agitated."
wdhe has made me a declaration —"
"Of love ? impossible !"
"No, Marshal, of war! she hates me charmingly
detests me delectably, and has forbid me in the mob
losing way from ever seeing her sweet face again
ha! ha! ha!"
Well,
this is coursing with a vengeance I" cried
de la Ferte, in amazement
"My dear uncle, that is to be, I am the happiest
dog in the world—your niece is the most amiable
of women, and she left me just now, in a devil of a
1211
uHow unfortunate!"
"How fortunate you mean I--there is nothing
my dear sir, to fear from a lady's hate—were she
indifferent, 1 might indeed despair; but I have no
apprehensions of that, for when I told her she should
love, adore, and marry me to-morrow, she flew in a
devil of a passion —"
am not surprised at that, your Grace !"
"Of course not, it was natural—she knewit must
be as I said, and was angry, because I wouldn't give
her, her ovvp way; but as I was peremptory, she was
pettish, and 86‘ we partedin as delightful a quarrel,
as heart could wish! Now my dear Marshal, will
you have the kindn6rB to look, after the wedding pre.
paratiomi I I shall be , too busy myself—but you
know what's proper, pakes,gloves,favors and all that
sort of thing."
"Are you out of yoUr senses:Richelieu I"
"I am almost, with joy !—to Melt the fond con
fession—the sweet affiancing—and a.- ` morrow, the
ceremony !—you will sign the contractoind give
t i? half your fortune !"
"Half my fortune ! allow me to say—"
"Why you unconscionable man, will not that
correct—you have lived half your life, and will only
want half your fortune for the rest of the time. All
correct, I promise you—you'll dance at the wedding,
eli Marshal t_you don't like dancing l oh very
wellno compulsion, you shall do as you please.".
"You seem very confident of success, young air ;
wager you a thousand louis you dont succeed!"
"Done ! they shall be mine in half an hour."
"But what proof shall I have I"
..Proof ! let me see—she shall seal the contract
with a loving kiss—there can be no Wirth in that to
her affianced husband, besides you shall be present
to witness my engagement. Hark ! your clock is
now chiming half past eleven ! as it is striking the
midnight hour, open that door and you shall be wit
ness to my happiness. Remember, on the first stroke
of twelve appear, and witness the success or my
"II• LI , nor COURTSHIP ! " —and now away !"'
.4 shall be there to witness your defeat !" •
"My Victory ! Marshal—adieu !"
As the. good de la Ferte left the apartment, the
signal of Dubois was heard from below— Richelieu
openedthe casement, and th e valet, having grown
proficient under the practise of his master, tripped
up the rope ladder with cat-like agility, and entered
the window,
"Now Dubois," said thelDuke, 0 pot on my cloak
—here is my cap and sword, on with them 5011—
our height is neath the same—'twill do famonsly !
Did Mademoiselle de Guise and all the . household
see yon go out I
Yea, my Lord, moat assuredly."
"Hold my handkerchief to your face—pass
through the dining room—the Marshall's apartment,
down the grbat staircase, and through the Hall—ask
if your carriage is ready—get into it—slam the door
hard and petulantly,--make as much noise as pos
sible in the street, and let the coachman set off at
full speed, as he did the night when De Engvil le
was no nearly stealing a march on me and hispret
ty Nina de Rosa! Now away—not so—bead up,
chest out and assume a rakish air—remember you
are to look like Richelieu !—that's better—much
better—now away !"
. The valet departed according to . instructions;
Richelieu watched his departure from the window,
and as the rattling of the carriage wheels proclaim
ed his success, he exclaimed,
“Bravo, Dubois! a golden ronlean shall be thine
—an invaluable dog ! Hark! they ere coming—
now for a game of hide and seek !"
He esconsed himself behind the silken bed cur
tains, as Julia and her uncle re-entered the-apart
ment •

to a question, from the Marshall; oeten this all sc ,
