It immediately occurred to me that it was moat probable that the chain had been on Fleta's neck at the time that she was stolen from her parents, and might prove the means of her being identified. It was no common chain—apparently had been wrought by people in a state ofsemi-refine ment. There was too little show for its value—too much sterling gold for the sim .ple effect produced; and I very much doubt ed whether another like it could be found. The next morning Fleta was too much affected at parting with me, to enter into much conversation. I asked whether she bad recollected any thing, and she replied, "No; that she had cried all night at the .thoughts of our separation." I cautioned her to be very careful of the chain, and I gave the same caution to the schoolmistress; and after 1 had left the town, I regretted that I had not taken it away, and deposited it in some place of security. I resolved to do so when next I saw Flota; in the mean time, she would be able, perhaps, by asso ciation, to call up some passage of her in fancy connected with it. I had enquired of a gentleman who sat near the on the couch, which was the best hotel for a young man of fashion. Ho re commended the Piazza in Covent Garden, and to that we accordingly repaired. I Se lected handsome apartments, and ordered a light sapper. When the table was laid, .Timothy made his appearance, in his livoy, and cut a very smart dashing figure. I dis. missed the waiter, and as soon as we were alone, I burst into a fit of laughter.. '"Real ly, Timothy, this is a good three; come, sit down, and help' me to finish this bottle of wine." "No, sir," replied Timothy; "with your permission, I prefer doing as the rest of my fraternity. You only leave the bottle on the sideboard, and I will steal as much as I want; but, as for sitting down, that will be making too free, and if we were seen, would be, moreover, very dangerous. We mien both keep up our characters. They I have been plying me with all manner of ques. tient; below, as to who you were—your name, •&e. I resolved that 1 would give you • a lift in the world, and I stated that you had just arrived from making a grand tour—which is not a fib, after all—and as Ifor your name, I said that you were at pre sent incog." "But why did you mako me incog ?" "Because it may suit you so to be ; and I it certainly is the truth, for you don't know your real name." We wore hero interrupted by the waiter bringing in a letter upon a salver. "Here is a letter addressed to I. or J. N., on his return from his tour,' sir," said he; ,'I pre sume it is for you ?" "You may leave it," said I, with 'non chalance. The waiter laid the letter on the table, and retired. "How very odd, Timothy—this letter cannot bo for me ; and yet they are my ini tials. It is as much like a J as an - I. De- pond upon it, it is some fellow who has just gained this intelligence below, and has writ ten to ask for a subscription to his charity list, imagining. that I am flubli of money, and liberal." "I suppose so," replied Tim ; "however, you may just ns well see what he says." "But if 1 open it ho will expect some thing. I had better refuse it." "Ono, leave that to mu; I know how to put people WV "After all, it's a fine thing to be a gentle man, and be petitioned." I broke open the seal, and found that the letter contained an enclosure addressed to another person. The letter was as fol lows: "MY DEAR NEPIIEW,—[ Bravo, sir,' said Timothy, 'you've found an uncle already— you'll soon find a father.'] From the great uncertainty of the post, I have not ventured to do more than hint at what hus come to light during this last year, but as it is ne cessary that you should be acquainted with the whole transaction, and as you had not decided when you last wrote, whether you would prosecute your Intended three months' trip to Sicily, or return from Milan, you may probably arrive when I am out of town ; I therefore enclose you a letter to Mr. Mas. torton, directing him to surrender to you a sealed packet, lodged in his hands, contain ing all the particulars, the letters which bear upon them, and what has been propos ed to avoid exposure; which you may peruse at your leisure, should you arrive before my return to town. There is no doubt but that the aflair may be hushed up, and we trust that you will ace the prudence of the measure; as, once known, it will be very discreditable to the family escutcheon. ['l always had an idea you were of good flinti ly,' interrupted Tim.] I wish you had fol lowed my advice, and had not returned ; bUt as you were positive on that point, I beg you will now consider the propriety of re maining incognito, as reports are already abroad, and your sudden return will cause a 'great deal of surmise. Your long absence at the Gottingen University, and your sub sequent completion of your grand tour, will have effected all remembrance of your per son, and you can easily be passed off as a particular friend of mine, and I can intro duce you every where as such. Take, then, any name you may please, provided it be not Smith or Brown, or such vulgarisms, and on the receipt of this letter, write a note, and send it to my house in Portman Square, just saying, 'so and so is arrived.' I'his will prevent the servants from obtaining any information by their prying curiosity; and as I have directed all my letters to be for warded to my seat in Worcestershire, I shall come up immediately that I receive it, and by your putting the name which you mean to assume, I shall know whom to ask for when I call at tho hotel. "Your affectionate uncle, "WINDERMEAR." "One thing is very clear, Timothy," said I, laying the letter on the table; "that it cannot to intended for me." "How do you know, sir, that this lord is not your uncle? At all events, you must do as he bids ycru." "What—go for the papers! Most cer tainly I shall not." "Then how in the name of fortune do you expect to find your father, when you will not take advantage of such an oppor tunity of getting into society? It is by getting possession of other people's secrete, that you will worm out your own." "But it is dishonest, Timothy." "A letter is addressed to you, in which you have certain directions ; you break the seal with confidence, and you read what you find is possibly not for you; but, deperid upon it, Japhet, that a secret obtained,is one of the surest roads to promotion. Recollec your position; severed from the world, you have to re•unite yourself with it, to recover your footing, and create an interest. You have not those who love you to help you— you must not scruple to obtain your object by fear." "That is a melancholy truth, Tim," re plied I ; "and I believe I must put my strict morality in my pocket." "Do, sir, pray, until you can afford to be moral; it's a very expensive virtue that; a deficiency of it made you an outcast from the world ; you must not scruple at a slight deficiency on your own part, to regain your position." There was so much shrewdness, so much of the wisdom of the serpent, in the remarks of Timothy, that, added to my ardent de- sire to discover my father, which, since my quitting the gipsy camp, had returned upon me with two•fold force, my scruples were overcome, add I resolved that I would out 237 nonzair WHITE lannzarmoN, EDITOR, rcrizaczmn AND morn:Er:on.

"I congratulate you on your return. You may not, perhaps, remember me 1" "Indeed, bir, I cannot say that I do, ex actly." "I could not expect it, my dear sir, you have been so long away. You have very much improved in person, I must say; yet still 1 recollect your features as a mere boy. Without compliment, I had no idea that you would ever have made so handsome a man." I bowed to the compliment. "Have you heard from your uncle ?" "I had a few lines from Lord Winder. mear, enclosing your letter." "He is well, I hope ?" "Quite well, I believe." Mr.Masterton then rose, went to an iron safe, and brought out a packet of papers, which he put into my hands. "You will read these, ith interest, Mr. Neville. I am a party to the whole transaction, and must venture to advise you not to appear in England under your own name, until all is settled. Your uncle, I perceive, has begg ed the same."

I took the papers, and then we both took !mire of one another, with expressions ,of pleasure and good will. lose such em opportunity. Still I hesitated, and went up into my room, that I might reflect upon what I should do. I went to bed, revolving the matter in my mind, and turning over from ono position to the other, at one time deciding that I would not take advantage of the mistake, at another quite as resolved that 1 would not throw away such an opening for the prosecution of my ' search; at last I fell into an uneasy slumber, I and had a strange dream. I thought that II was standing upon an isolated rock, with the waters raging around me; the tide was rising, and at last the waves were roaring lat my . feet. I was in a state of agony, and expected that in a short time I should be swallowed up: The main land was not far off, and I perceived well-dressed people in crowds, who were enjoying themselves, feasting, dancing, and laughing in merry peals. I held out my hands—l shouted to them--they saw, and heard me, but heeded me not. My horror at being swept away by the tide was dreadful. I shrieked as the water rose. At last I perceived something unroll itself from the main land, and gradu ally advancing to the inland, formed a bridge by which I could walk over and be saved. I was about to hasten over, when, "Private, and no thoroughfare," appeared at the end nearest me, in large letters of fire. 1 start ed hack with amazement, and would not, dared not, pass them. When all of a sud den, a figure in white appeared by my side, and said to me, pointing to the bridge, "Self preservation is the hrst law of nature." I looked at the person who addressed me; gradually the figure became darker, until it changed to Mr. Cophagus, with his stick up to his nose. "Japhet, all nonsense— very good bridge—urn—walk over—find father—and so on." I dashed over the bridge, which appeared to float on the wa ter, and to be composed of paper, gained the other side, and was received with shouts of congratulation, and the embraces of the crowd. I perceived an elderly gentleman come forward; I knew it was my father, and I threw myself into his arms.. I awoke, and found myself rolling on the floor, em bracing the bolster wtth all my might.— Such was the vivid impression of this dream, that 1 could not turn my thoughts away from it, and at last I considered that it was a divine interposition. All my scruples vanished, and before the day had dawned I determined that I would follow the advice of Timothy. An enthusiast is easily led to believe what he wishes, and he mistakes hie own- feelings for warnings; the dreams aris- $ ing from his daily contemplations for thei interference of Heaven. He thinks himself armed by supernatural assistance, and war ranted by the Almighty to pursue his course, oven if that course should be contrary to the Almighty's precepts. Thus was I led away by my own imaginings, and thus was my monomania increased to an impetus which forced before it all consideration of what was right or wrong. The next morning I told my dream to Timothy, who laughed very heartily at my idea of the finger of Providence. At last, perceiving that I was angry with him, he pretended to be convinced. When I had finished my breakfast, I sent to enquire the number in the square ofLord Windermear's town-house, and wrote the following sim ple note to his lordship, "Japhct Newland has arrived from his tour at the Piazza, Covent Garden." This was confided to Timothy, and 1 then set off with the other letter to Mr. Masterton which was address ed to Lincoln's Inn. By reading the ad dresses of the several legal gentlemen, I found out that Mr. Masteyton was located on the •second.floor. I rang the bell, which had the effect of "Open Sesame," as the door appeared to swing to admit me without my assistance. 1 entered an ante-room, and from thence found myself in the presence of Mr. Musterton—a little old man, with spec tacles on his nose, sitting at a table covered with papers. Ho offered me a chair, and - presented the letter- I returned to the hotel, whore I found Timothy waiting for me, with impatience. "Japhot," said he, "Lord Windermear has not yet left town. I have seen him, for I was called hick after I left the house, by the footman, who ran after me—he will be here immediately." "Indeed," replied I. "Pray what sort of person is ho, nd what did he say to you ?" "Ile sent for me in the dining parlour, where ho was at breakfast, asked when you arrived, whether you were well, and how long I had been in your service. I replied that I had not been more than two days, and had just put on my liveries. .He then de• sired nie to tell Mr. Newland that he would call upon him in about two hours. Then, my lord," replied I, "I had hotter go and to hint to got out of bed." "The lazy dog !" said he, "nearly one o'clock, and not out of bed ; well, go then, and get him dressed as fast as you can." Shortly afterwards a handsome carriage with grays drew up to the door. His lord ship sent his footman to ask whether Ms. Newland was at home. The reply of,the Waiter was, that there was a young gentle. man who had been there two or three days, who had come from making a tour, and his name did begin with au N. "That will do, James; let down the steps." His lordship alighted, was ushered up stairs, and into my room. There we stood, storing at each other. "Lord Windermear, I believe," said I, extending my hand. "You have recognised me first, John," said he taking my hand, and looking earnest ly in my face. "Good heavens ! is it pos sible that an awkward boy should have grown up into so handsome a fellow ? 1 shall be proud of ray nephew. Did you re member me when I entered the room ?" "To tell the truth, my lord, I did not : but expecting you, I took it for granted that it must be you." 'Nine years make a great difference, John ;--but I forget, 1 must now call you Japhet. Have you been rending the Bible, lately,that you fixed upon that strange name?' "No, my lord; but this hotel is such a Noah's ark, that it's no wonder I thought of it." "I was about "I see—l see," interrupted his lordship; "but recollect, John, that she is still your mother. By-the-by, have you read the pa pers yet ?" "No, sir," replied I, "there they are point ing to them on the side table. 1 really do not like to break the seals."' "That they will not contain pleasant in telligence, 1 admit," replied his lordship; "but until you have read them. I do not wish to converse with you on the subject, there fore," said he, taking up the puetet, and breaking the seal, "I must now insist that you employ this forenoon in reading them through. You will dine with mo at seven, and then we will talk the matter over." "Certainly, sir, if you wish it, I will read them." - "I must insist upon it, John; and am rath er surpriPed at your objecting, when they concern you so particularly." "1 shall obey your orders, sir." "Wel!, then, my boy, 1 shall wish you good morning*, that you may complete your task before you come to dinner. To-mor row, if you wish it—but recollect, mover press young men on these points, as I am aware that they sometimes feel it a restraint —if you wish it, I say, you may bring your portmanteaus, and take up your quarters with me. By-the-by," continued his lord- ship, taking hold of my coat, "who made this?" "The tailor to his serene highness the Prince of Darmstadt had that honour, my lord," replied I. "Humph ! I thought they fitted better in Germany; it's not quite the thing—we must consult Nugee, for with that figure and lace, the coat ought to be quite correct. Adieu, my dear fellow, till seven." His lordship shook hands with me, and I was left alone. Timothy came in as soon as his lordship's carriage had driven off. "Well, sir," said he, "was your uncle glad to see you?" "Yes," replied I ; "and look, he has bro ken open the seals, and has insisted upon my reading the papers." "It would be very undutiful in you to re fuse, so I had better leave you to your task," said Timothy, smiling, as he quitted the room. I sat down and took up the papers. I was immediately and strangely interested in all that I read.. A secret was, in deed, a secrot, involving the honour and rep. utation of the most distinguished families. One that, if known, the trumpet of scandal would have blazoned forth to the disgrace of the. aristocracy. It would have occa- sioned hitter tears to some, gratified the petty Malice of many, satisfied the revenge of the vindictive, and bowed with shame the innocent as well na tho.guilty. It is not no- cessary, nor, indeed, would 1, on any ac- count, state any more. I finished the last paper, and then fell into a reverie. This is, indeed, a secret, thought I ; one that I would never had possessed. In a despotic coun- ry my life would be sacrificed to the fatal knowledge—here, thank God, my life as well as my liberty is sate. The contents of the papers told me all that was necessary to enable me to support the character which I had assumed. The reason why tho party, I was supposed to be, was entrusted with it, was, that he was in a direct line eventually heir, and tho question was whether he would waive h►e claim with the others and allow death to bury crime in oblivion. I felt that wore l in his posi tion I should so do—and, therefore, was prepared to give an answer to his lordship. I sealed up the papers, dressed myself, and wont to dinner; and after the cloth was removed, I ord Winderinear first rising and turning tho key in the door, said to me, in a low voice, "You have road the papers, and what those, nearly as much interested us you are in this lamentable business, have decided upon. Toll me, what is your opin ion?" "Hy opinion, my lord, is, that I wish, I hnd never known what has come to light this day—that it will be_ most advisable ne ver to recur to the subject, and that the pro posals made, are, in my opinion, most judi cious, and should he acted upon." "That is well," replied his lordship; "then all are agreed, and I am proud to find you possessed of such honour and goad feeling. We now drop the subject for ever. Are you inclined to leave town with me, or what do you intend to do?" • "I prefer remaining in town,if your lord ship will introduce me to some of the fami lies of your acqunintunce. • Of course I know no one now." "Very true; I will introduce you,as agreed, as Mr. Newland. It may be as well.thut you do not know any of our relations, whom I have made to suppose that you are still abroad—and it would be awkward, when you take your right name by.and.by. Do you mean to see your mother 1" "Impossible, my lord, at present; by-and by I hope to be able." "Perhaps it's all for the best. I will now write one note to Major Carbonnell, intro ducing you as my particular friend, and re questing that he will make London agreea ble. He knows every body, and will take you every where." "When does your lordship start for the country "To-morrow; so we may as well part to-night.

The jury were about to bring in their verdict, when the whole court was thrown into a roar of laugh ter by the announcement of the prisoner's counsel, that the prisoner was a WOMAN. The court was fully satisfied as to the fact. She stated that she,had passed as a man for more than three years, and that she had been a sailor in several ships during that pe riod. She was dressed in sailor's clothes and looked exactly like a man. The pri soner's counsel objected to the indictment, as the prisoner was not a man as described therein.
