place where you could get higher wages?"
She treats me very well," replied the
girl; lam satisfied where I am. 2
But doesn't she ever get into a pass•
ion with you?" inquired the other man.
Nu, sir, she does not."
Well, have you never observed any
thing improper in her conduct, e.hich ynu
could let us know'!" Cont', now, be a
good girl, and tell us all. about her, and
you shall nut repent it.”
I have noth ing to tell," answered the
who now vegan to be rrightened,-1
" Pray let toe go home quietly,"
You shall go in a moment; but first
thtrat a little whether you cannot remem•

" But don't you think," continued the
tnan,'that we were to give you two hundred
francs you might rememser something?'
I du nut know anything to mum

"Just think a little—take time. Let
me see—suppose I were to make you a
present of five hundred francs—•just at
present for your faithfulness—don't you
suppose it would bring to mind some little
indiscretion 7 Five hundred francs! that's
a good deal of money."
"I could not tell you any thing if you
were to give me five thousand," said the
girl, "so pray let me go ;" and she at
tempted to hurry away.
" Nut till you promise that you will
say nothing toyour mistress of having met
us! If pia refuse—•you never spoke
words in your life that you will have such
cause to repent."
I shall not say any thing—l promise
you 1 will not—only let me go !" Anil
the girl broke away front them, and has
tened home.
She was at first deterred, by the threats
of the men, from disclosing to Lady Bel.
wer her conversation with them. B .11
her love for her mistress, and her dread
that some secret plot was foi tiling to in
jure her, at length overcome every other
apprehension. She went to Lady Bulwei
and related what occurred. Lady But.
wer at once felt the conviction that these
caitiffs were but instruments in the hands
of her husband. She told the girl, that
should they meet her again, she must
. hio rither draw them
into conversation, with a view of uiseuv..•
ing their object in making such inquiries.
If they made her any proposition, she
must neither refuse nor accept it; but tell
them she would converse with them again
on the subject, and immediately return
home and communicate what had trans-
pined
In less than a week the girl was agai
accosted by the same men, who were'
prowling about near the door of Lady
Bulwer's residence. She followed the
Instruction of her mistress; and as soon
,as they were out of sight ran home and in
stantly made Lady Bulwer acquainted
with what had taken place.
The men, after trying to get her to say
that she had seen Lady Bulwer commit
some indiscretion, or to bring some charge
against her, when she could be bribed to
maintain in a court of justice, and finding
that she did not choose to accuse her
mistress falsely, attempted another game.
They asked the girl ifslie could not mass
age, should they give her a large sum of
money for her trouble, to conceai them at
night in Lady Bulwer's chamber? Their
object, they said, was to possess them•
selves of some valuable papers in her es
critoire, and told the girl that she need
not be fearful of being discovered, as they
would take care that Lady Bulwer should
never mention the subject. The girl re
plied, that it would take some time for
her to snake up her mind, but that she
would meet them the next evening, cnd
let them know what she had concluded to
do. Delighted with their success, they
left her, promising a munificent reward
for her services.
Lady Bulwer instructed the faithful
creature to keels her appointment with the
men ; and to tell them that they should be
admitted to her mistress's chamber be
fore she retired that night. The femme
de chat/thee met the villains once inure,
and communicated with them as she had
been instructed. The men desired that
they might be safely concealed before Lady
Bulwer could enter time apartment. A
late hour that night was agreed upon, and
the parties separated with mutual satis
faction.
At the proposed hour the men present
ed themselves. They soon were condor
tably concealed between the curtain bed
sod wall. The femme de eke:mime, when
every thing was arranged to their satis
faction, left the apartment. A moment
afterward Lady Bulwer herself entered
the room attended by her Lawyer. Site
immediately walked up to the bed, and
drawing away the curtains, disclosed the
suflians tremblingly crouching in the fur
thest corner. They were arrested and
sent to prison. Lady Bulwer instantly

On the day of their trial, the sensation

'hours before the proceeding s commenced
we found it impossible to obtain scats.—
I therefore waited, with tremulous anxie

entrance of course increased the excite.

who was no other than the distinguished
M. Thiers himself, then rose and requested
to be heard. Ile informed the Court,
that by the laws both in England and
France, a married woman, tnichrorred,'
had no right of her own to institute legal
proceedings without the consent of her
husband. Ile then begged that these pro
ceedings might be stopped, as Sir Edward
Lytton Buttner now presented him.elf to
withhold his perraisston! _
There was no resource. Such was in
deed the law. The proceedings were
stopped and the court broke up. Lady
Bulwer sorrowfully returned to her home,
feeling inure than ever, that there was
no law to shield woman." Iler
had been violated at night—her per
son endangered—her papers laid open—
and she could not come forward in a court

one of those voices which haunt us in

Jesse Hoyt, late Van Buren Collector
of the port of New York, has been found
by a jury to be indebted to the United
States the small sum of one hundred and
twenty thousand, eight hundred and twen
ty seven dollars, being within a few dol
lars of the amount originally stated to be
the sum of his defalcation.
The sureties of Mr. Hoyt are Jesse
Oakley, T. J. Oakley, Robert McJinsey,
Lorenzo Hoyt, Lewis Thurston, and
Thaddeus Phelps, as guarantee. It is
supposed that the Government will nuw
proceed to prosecute them, as nothing can
'be obtained of Jesse Hoyt; nod whether
from them it remains to be seen.
And yet the old public robbers under
Mr. You Buren, are attempting to force
him again upon the people for President.
What honest man will be found to support
him.

MARRIAGE EXTRAORDINARY.--A letter I
from Wilkes county, N. C. states that on
the 13th ult. CHANOE and ENG, the Simese
twins, were married io Misses SARAH and
,ADELAIDE, daughters of Mr. David Yeats,
of Wilkes county, N. C.
The rumor of this extraordinary mar
riage is received with the highest indigna
tion by the most respectable portion of the ,
press. A New York paper says "it is
extraordinary indeed. So much ao that
were it not for the evidence daily afforded
of what unnatural things men and women
will do, we should pronounce the account
incredible. What sort of women can they
be who have entered into such a marriage?
What sort of a clergyman he who per•
formed the unnatural ceremony?"
ALLEGHENY Fumtozs.--Many of the
principal Furnace owners on the Alleghe
ny, are now in the city, having brought
down their stuck of metal, and for want of
a market have stored it up. The accu
mulation for the last three years, and the
slight consumption during that period,
having placed the amount on hand so
mull' above the ordinary demand, that
they have come to the determination of
stopping all their works, so soon as their
present stock of wood is used up. The
demand for manufactured iron this year
has been much more animated than for
the three former seasons, but owing to the
falling oil during those three years the
stock of metal has so greatly increased as h
to make the market, for the present, over
loaded. The present determination of our
Iron friends we think wise and prudent, as
one year of non production will tend;
greatly to equalize the stock with the reg.
ular demand, and cannot, under any
event, hut prove advantageous to their in
, !erects. We understand that this plan
will be abopted generally among the fur•
nace owners on the Allegheny and its
waters.—Pirlaburg American.

Our late partner, it seems, is rapii4iii
graciating himself into the favor of. "the
powers that be." Whether he is lucky to

as we certainly should regard ourself a lit

"his blushing honors' with becoming dig•

public against an infamous imposter wader
