We take ihe following from a New York paper : Some time fince notice was ?ent to the' headquarters of the police that mischief was brewing on the Lottery. A vessel cleared at the Custom House to sail that day. She went a little way down the harbor and then dropped anchor. It was understood that at dark she was to send a boat ashore take on board a quantity of contraband goods and sail before morning The police were on the alert. An expe rienced olRctr was detailed to look after the matter, and arrest all partes engaged in it. The night wa cold, d:irk and stormy. While waiting the progress of events, the attention of the olfioer was directed to a solitary man walking back aud fortli on the old ea wall agitated as if some great grief prxfscd him on. The poHciman, Hatistied that the man intended suicide, went up to him, touched him lightly on the shoulder, und in a kind lone said to him, Not to-night not n iw the water is cold you cannot quite make up your mind to leave, you wife, children and friends, and take a great leap in the drtrk don't do it to night." Startled as if from a reverie, the man threw baek his head and in angry tones demanded, "Who the are you ?: In an ini-t::nt he rerognized the officer, "Good God! is ii you ? How did you know what I came here for? Have I been speaking my thoughts out in words'" Ttie officer led him to a scat. In a moment he added, " You shall knew all. You shall see why I throw away a life that is not worth the keeping. I am in hell daily. I can - en dure this no longer. I will seek rest be neath the quiet waters." The officer left the poor fellow under the care of an aid, while he attended the duty that called him to the battery, which was toon and suc cessfully done. He then sought the in tended suicide and ltd him up to bis story. Outre there and alone, he told his story. "In my youth" said he, "I was puilty of an indiscretion, and put myself in the power of one of those cold-blooded and heartless wretches who pander to the most depraved passions of men, and live on the ruins of the virtuous. I paid her the sum of money demanded to purchase her silence and I heard no more from her tor years. The whole thing passed from my mind. It was Htled, and I supposed I should never hear of it again. I gained the confidence of my employers arose in position, and from confidential clerk I be came a partner. I have done well, I have profptrcd, hs you know, and married the daughter of my partner. She is a noble girl, and I love her better than life. In a short time after I received at the store a letter written in a tine hand, and signed by the name of one of the most notorious women of New York, tr.he re gretted the necessity that made it needful for her to write the letter, but she was greatly reduced. She had money to pay. She knew not how to meet the present difficulty unless her friend, underscoring the word, would loan her a small sura say 50 for a short time. I did not know the woman, but I soon found out who it was under, the new name demanded a loan from mo. I knew that her eye had not been off me for one moment. Among the many names that graced her list mine was written that she could wait her time and had done so, and in this polite manner had asked for black mail at the time when I dare not refuse. I sent the sum to her that she demanded. The call was re peated vthat year till I paid the sum of $200 dollars. Regularly since I have been compelled to respond. For two years I accounted for the money. My financial condition is known to my father-in-law. Soon an investigation will bring affairs to light. The sum demanded keeps pace with my supposed business success. This time I must loan the leech Si, 500, or an exposure will take place. . I cannot pay the sum. I am a ruined man. I have dishonored my family. I am not fit to live. I cannot endure life. I am resolved not to witness my shame and the agony of my wife." On a sheet of paper bearing the head ing of the officer dated at 12 o'clock in the morning under the direction of the officer he wrote " that the cord so strain ed that all further business on the mat ter of loans must le referred to his friend, the officer, who had power to make all settlements." That was sufficient. No further loan has been solicited. This incident brings out one of the most infamous pages of New York life. It has been stated that but few women prosper in this city in an infamous life. Those few do so by a system of loans above referred to. One of the most in famous women in town is building a pal ace and adorning it with all that ait and taste can suggest, and is paying for it in "loans" from merchants, men of family and men of position. She has been long in New York. She is one of the most accomplished nurses. She is called in critical cases to Iioston, Philadelphia and Baltimore. Parties needing attention can find her in her house the most careful and skillful aid. It is a mistake tq imagine that a woman who has a child born to her out of wedlock is roughly handled, neglected or unkindl' treated. Tender ness pays too well to be neglected. This is especially so when the subject is young, intelligent, brought up tenderly, comes from h good family, or is introduced by a person of substance or position. For those able to pay no accommodation can be finer. Llega-.t rooms, costly arrange ments, food of the most delicate kind, and the tendcrest care. No mother can watch lier f.tvorite child with a gentler concern. Dot all this has an aim. It is to win lit? confidence of the young creatine. The party that engages the room and atten dance h.M no name that the mistress of the mansion can know. As long as her price is given, and he bills paid promptly in advance, what is it to her w ho pays the money. So th man thinks ; not so the woman. There is a future to her, and that the man will find to his cost some day. In the hour of deep anguish and trial, with the fear of death before her, the bewildered child, all alone, will repay the tender and thoughtful attention by a tearlul and full confession, under the solemn seal of secrecy. A'l which is carefully noted down in a book till the day of reckoning comes. Nor is it true that efforts are ma le to destroy the life of mother or child. Av arice and safety demand that both be saved. Doth are a source of revenue that-cannot be disposed of. A live child is a living witness. It is disposed of by adoption. A parly selected to take it in charge a room hired for the occasion having no Connection in any way with the house in which the child is born. -The woman who holds it is a " widow," or has a husband in the army or at sea. Those notices of children for adoption, in the papers, have a connection with this one woman. Parties apply, bear away the child, and the room is at once abandoned. Dut the child is not for a moment lost sight of. It can be produced at any mo ment. Cured and discharged, the young mo ther returns to society. The gentleman walks in fancied security. He has no idea that the great secret has been divulg ed, and that he is in the clutches of one of her class. The woman bides her time. She has a long list of persons whom she served. She knows their domestic, social, commercial and religious standing. One woman has a list of names said to be counted by hundreds. She knows the merchantile value of each, knows as well what sura to call for as if each were her banker and had funds for her on deposit. In due time the call is made. She comes to the store in a carnage, or she sends a polite note for the party to call as she wants to see him " on urgent business," or what is more common, sends in the jH)litest terms, for a " loan " and urging lier necessities and her regrets. Terror, shame, astonishment, fear, seize on the party. The sum demanded is paid. The call is repeated. The sum is greater each year. Bankruptcy, and voyages to un know lands or suicide, only relieve the sufferer. The inexorable woman has no pity, and never says " enough." One of our most successful and honored men, who had borne the highest trust the eo ple can confide to man, became a bank rupt, a defaulter and almost an im becile, and died at last of the soften in of the brain, from this system of blackmailing, standing of parties The number and so implicated would convulse, astonish and alarm our city, bollow and deceitful as it is. Joliu Yale ISeall III English Family OeNcent. The Carlisle (Eng.) Journal of March 2 1th? says that Captain John Y". Heal!, who was hanged on Governor's Island, New York, on the 24th February, was on the father s sule descended from Hob lioy, whose history is so well known to the readers of Sir Walter Scott's novel's ; on the mothers side he claimed direct de scent from the great border chieftain, " Belted Will." Sir Charles Howard of Croglin who was the fourth surviving son of Lord William Howard, married Doro thy, daughter of Sir Henry Witherington, of Northumberland. They had a daugh ter, and, as it would appear, an only child, named Klizabeth who married William Oritur, of Plumbland ; their son Charles Orfeur, wedded Jane Lampleugh, of Kio ton, with whom the male line of the an cient family of Orfeur terminated ; but they had three daughters, the oldest of whom Anne, became the wife of Francis Yates, and was the grandmother of the late Maior Anlionbv. M. P.. for East Cumberland, whose great nephew's (John Yates Beau) sad fate now engages public attention. When about sixteen years of a:c he came over to Unland with his grandfather, the late John Yates, and watched over his dying relative with pa tient and tender care in his last illfiess. That melancholy event occurred shortly after reaching the Nunnery, which Mr. Y'jifes had longed again to see before he died. The fair young lad was at first in- tended for Ihe bar, and received a litieral education ; but, owing to the death of his father, he never entered on the practice of that profession. On the breaking out of the civil war he warmly took up the cause of the Confede rates. Ho served in the Brigade of Stone wall Jackson, to whom he was enthusi astically attached, and although even in the thickest of the fight, for a long time escaped unhurt ; but his turn came at last he fell stricken with a feaiful wound, which long disabled him. But his anient and determined spirit could not brook in action longer than the claims of nature ! positively required. For long marches the effects of the injury he had received unfitted him ; therefore, on his return to Richmond, he entered the Confederate States navy, and wa in command en the Chesapeake Bay when he was taken priso ner," and, after very harsh treatment, he was unexpectedly exchanged. After the repulse of General Grant in front of Kich mond, he moved to the Canadian frontier, to engage in maritime enterprised against the enemy. 1 lis sad fate is known to all. lie died, as he had lived, a hero. Secret of Masonry. At an inn in the west of Kngland, sev eral persons were sitting around the fire in a large kitchen, through which was a pa.-sage to the other apartments of the house, and among whom was a female traveller and a tailor. At this inn a Lodge of Freo and Accepted Masons was held, it being lodge niiiht several of their w..ni Itirc tuu.l flit rt rn u i v in flw. u.v f to the meeting room. This circumstance introduced observations on the occult signs by which Masons could be known to each other ; when the female observed that there was not so much mystery as imagined, and that she herself could show any person a Mason's sign. "What!" said the tailor, "that of a Free and Ac cepted Mason !" " Yes," she replied, " and I'll lct you a half crown bowl of punch, to be decided by any of the mem bers you may please to appoint, that I perform my promise." " Why," says the tailor, a woman was never admitted, then how is it possible you can procure Xhe secret V 44 No matter for that," says' she, " I will readily forfeit the mon ey I lay if I do ifot prove the fact." The company urged the tailor to accept the challenge, and the amount of the 1k1 was deposited. The woman immediately started up, and took the tailor by the col lar. " Come," says she " follow me, which he did trembling as he went along, fearing he was to undergo some part of the discipline in making a Mason of which he had heard such a dreadful report She led him into the street, and pinting to the sign of the Lion and Lamb, asked him whose sign that was. The tailor answered, " Mr Lodge," as the nam3 e.f the innkeeper. J Is he a Free and Ac cepted Mason." The laugh was so much against the tailor, that it was with much difficulty he could be prevailed upon to take some of the liquor which was forth with produceel at his expense.
