"Yes, madam, walking arui•and-arrn with a smuggler: I shall have you on one arm, and Mrs. Lascelles on the other; and I would advise you to take it very quietly, for, in the first place, it will bo you who smuggle, as the goods will be found on your person, and you will certainly bo put in prison, for, at the least appearance of insuborditia tion,we run and inform against you; and further, your niece will remain on board as a hostage for your good behaviour, and if you have any regard for her liberty, you will consent immediately. Pickeregill loft the cabin, and shortly after wards Cecilia and Mrs. Leiscolles entered, appa rently much distressed. They had boon inform. ed of all, and Mrs. Lascelles declared, that, for her part, sooner than leave her poor Cecilia to 1110 mercy of such people, she had made up her mind to submit to the smuggler's demands. Cecilia also bogged so earnestly, that Miss Ossulton, who had no idea that it was a trick,with much sobbing and blubbering, consented. . When all was ready, Cecilia left the cabin; Pickersgill came down, handed up the two ladies, who had not exchanged a word with each other during Cecilia's absence; the bout was ready a longside, they wont in, and pulled on shore. }:v ery thing succeeded to the smuggler's satisfac tion. Miss Ossulton, frightened out of her wits, took his arm; and, with Mrs. Lascellos on the other, they went up to the hotel. followed by four of his boat's crew. As soon as they were shown into a room, Corbett, who was already on shore, asked for Lord 8., and joined them. The ladies retired to another apartment, divested themselves of their contraband goods, and, after calling fur some sandwiches and wine, Pickersgill waited an hour, and then returned on board." Mrs. Lascol• les was triumphant; and she rewarded her now ally, the smuggler,with ono of her sweetest smiles. Community - of interests will sometimes make strange friendships.

Thorn he remained three or four days, when, becoming impatient, ho applied to ono of his friends who had a yacht at Cowes, and sailed with him to look after his own. We left the Happy.go.lucky chased by the rev enue cutter. At first the smuggler bud the ad. vantage before the wind; but, by degrees,the wind went round with the sun, and brought the revenue cutter to leeward; it was then a chabe on a wind, and the revenue cutter came fast up with her.

THE THREE CUTTERS [DY THE AUTHOR OF '.I.APHET."] CRAPTER VF. CONCLUDED FROM OUR LAST. The next morning, about an hour after break fast was finished, Mrs. Lase°lles entered the cab in pretending to be in the greatest consternation and fell on the sofa, as if she wore going to faint. "Good heavens! what is the matter?" exclaim. ed Cecilia, who knew very well what was coming. "Oh, the wretch! he has made such proposals." "Proposakr what proposals? what! Lord Bla. ney?" cried Miss Ossulton. "Oh, he's no lord; ho's a villain and a smuggler: and he insists that we shall both fill our pockets full oflaco, and go on shore with him."

"Come in," said Miss Ossulton, thinking it was Flambe; when Pickorsgill made his appearance. "What do you want, sir? go out r an.: go out di rectly, or I'll scroam." "It is no use screaming, madam; recollect that all on board are at my service. You will oblige me by listening to me, Miss Ossulton. lam as you know, a smuggler, and I must send this lace on shore.

Ho was boirded and taken posses. sion of; ho assorted that tho extra men were only passengers: but, in tho first place, they wore dressed in seamen's clothes; and, in the second, assoon us the boat was aboard, of her, Apploboy had-kane down to his gin toddy, and was nut to be thsturbed. Tho gentlemen smugglers there. lore passed an uncointertable nigh I; and the cutter going to Portland by daylight before Appleby was out of bud, they were taken on shorn to tho magistrate. Hautuine explained tho whole nfrair, and they were immediately released and treated with respect; but they were not permitted to do. part until they wore bound over to appear against the smugglers, and prove the brandy having boon on board. - They than sot off' for Portsmouth in tho seamen's clothes, having had quite enough of yachting for that season, Mr. Ossulton declaring that he only wantod to get his luggage, and then ho would take care how he put himself again in tho way of tho shot of a revenue cruiaor, or of sleeping a night on her docks. Itithe moantime,' Morrison and his men wore locked up in the jail, the old man, as the key was turned , san him, exclaiming, as he raised his foot in vexation, "That cursed blue pigeon!" We will now roturn to the yacht. About an hour after Pickersgill had come on board, Corbett had made all his arrangements and followed him. It was not advisable to remain at Torquay any longer, through fear of discovery; he, therefore, weighed the anchor before dinner, and made sail. "What do you intend to do now, my lord?" said Mr,. Laseslles. "tintend to run down to Cowes, anchor the yacht in tho night; and an hour before daylight have you in my boat with all my men. i will tako care that you are in perfect safety, depend upon it, oven if I run a risk. I should, indeed, be mis crablo, if, throup,h my wild freaks, any 'accident should happen to Mrs. kindles or Miss Ossul ton." "I am very anxious about my father," observed Cecilia. "I trust that you will.keep your prom ise." '•I always have hitherto, Mias Ossulton; have "Ours is but a short and strange acquaintance." "1 grant it; but it will servo for you to talk a bout long after. I shall disappear as suddenly as I have come—you will neither of you, in all pro. bability, over see me again." Tho dinner was announced, and they sat down to table as before; but the elderly spinster refused to make her appearance; and Mrs. Lascellos and Cecilia, who thought she had been frightened enough, did not attempt to force her. Pickers gill immediately yielded to these remonstrances, and, from that time, she remained undisturbed in the ladies' cabin, meditating over the indigni ty of having sat down to table, of having drunk wine, and boon obliged to walk 01.1 shore, taking the arm of a smuggler, and appear in such a hu miliating situation. The wind was light, and they made but little P 7 agYi*-1 1 ; and were noittbreast of PortlancrtillAtto second day, when another yacht appeared in sight, and the two vesiltile slowly neared, until in the afternoon they wore within four miles of each other. It then fell a dead calm—signals were thrown out by the other yacht, but could not bo distinguished, and, for the last time, they eat down to dinner. Three days companionship on board of a vessel, cooped up together, and having no ono else to converse with, will produce inti macy; and Pickerskill was a young man of so much originality and information, that he was listened to with ploirsure. He never attempted to advance be)ond the lino of strict decorum and pbliteness; and his companion was equally unpre• Burning. Situated as they were, and feeling what must have boon the caao had they fallen in. to other hands, both Cecilia and Mrs. Lascellos felt some degree of gratitude towards him; and, although anxious to bo relieved from so strange a position they had gradually acquired' a perfect confidence in him, and this had produced a de gree of fantiliarity, on their parts, although nev er ventured upon by the smuggler. As Corbett was at the table, ono of the men came down and made a sign. Corbett shortly after quitted the ta ble and went on deck. "I wish, my lord, you would come up a Moment, and see if you can make this flee out," said Corbett, giving a signi• ficant nod to Pickersgill. "Excuse me, ladies, one moment," said Pickersgill, who went on deck. "It is the boat of the yacht coming on board," said Corbett; "and Lord B. Is in the stern-sheets with the gentleman who was with him." "And how many men in the boat ?—let me see —only four. Well, lot his lordship and hls friend come: when they aro on the deck, have the men ready in case or accident; but if you can manage to toll the boat's crew that they aro to go on board again, and get rid of them that way, so much tho bettor. Arrange this with Adams, and then come down again—his Lordship must see us all at din• net."- Pickorsgill then descended, and Corbett had hardly time to give his directions and resume his seat, before his lordship and Mr. Stewart pulled up alongsido and jumped on dock. Them was no ono to toady° them but the seamen and those whom titoy did not know. They looked around in amazement; at last his lordship said to Adams, who stood forward, "What men are yon?" "Belong to the yacht, yo'r honor." lord B. heard laughing in the cabin: ho would not wait to interrogate the mon; he walked aft, followed by Mr. Stewart, looked down the sky. light, and perceived his daughto: and Mrs. Las cellos with, as ho supposed, Hautaine and Ossul ton. Pickoragill had hoard the boat rub the sido,and the sound of the feet on dock, and ho talked the more loudly that the ladies might be caught by Lord B. as they wore. Ho heard their foot at the skylight, and know that they could hear what passed; and at that moment ho proposed to the ladies that as this was their last meeting at table, they should all take a glass of champagne to drink to "their happy meeting with Lord B." This was a toast which they did not refuse.— Maddox poured out the wine, and they were all bowing to each other, when his• lordship, who had come down the ladder, walked into the cabin, followed by Mr. Stewart. Cecilia perceived her father; the champagne dropped hum her hand—she flew Into his arms, and burst into toar. "Who would not be a father,•Mrs. Lascolles?" said Pickersgill, quietly seating himself,' after having first risen to receive Lord B. "And pray, whom may I have the honor of finding established hero?" said Lord. B. in an an gry tone, speaking ovor•hts daughter's head,who still lay in his arms, "By Heavens, yes!—Stow art, it is the smuggling captain dressed out." "Even so, my lord," cried Piekersgill. "You abandoned your yacht to capture me; you left those Indies in a vessel crippled for want of men: they might have been lost. I have returned good for evil by coming on board with my own , people, and taking charge c . thorn. This night I ex pected to have anoliorod your vessel in Cowes, arid have loft them, in safety." By the —" cried Stewart. - "Stop, sir, if you please," cried Pickeregill; "recollect you have once already attacked one who never offended. Oblige mo by refraining from intemperate language; for I tell you I will riot put up with it. Recollect, sir, that I halm re frained from that,and also from taking advantage of you when you woro in my power. Recollect, air, also, that the yacht is kill in possession of the suitigglers,and that you aro In no condition to in with impunity. My lord, allow mobo ub servo, that we moo aro too hot of temperament to argue, or listen cooly, With your portnission, your friend, and my friend, and I, will repair on deck,-loaving you to hoar from your daughter and that lady all that has passed. After that, my lord, I shall be most happy to hear any thing which your lordship may please to say." "Upon my word—" commenced :\lr. Stewart. "Mr. Stewart," interrupted Cecilia Ossulton, "I request your silence; nay, more, ifevor we aro again to sail in the same vessel together, I insist upon it." "Your lordship will oblige me by enforcing Miss Ossulton's request," said Mrs. Lascolles. Mr. Stewart was dumfounded, no wonder, to find the Indies siding with the smuggler. "I am obliged to you, ladies, for your interfer ence," said Pickersgill; "for, although I havo the means of enforcing conditions, I should be sorry to avail myself of them. 1 wait for his lordship's roply." I Lord B. was very much surprised. He wished for an explanation; ho bowed with hauteur. Ev cry body appeared to be in a fall ,g position; even lie, Lord B , somehow or another, 'had bowed to a s 111 tr. ! g ler. Pickersgill and Stewart went on dock, walking up and down, crossing ouch other without speak ing, but reminding you of two dogs who both are anxious to fight, but have boon restrained by the voice of their masters. Corbett followed, and talked in a low tone to Pickersgill; StoWart wont over to leeward to see if the boat was still along side, hut it had long before returned to the yacht. Miss Ossulton bad hoard her brother's voice, but did not come out of the after.cabin; she wished to bo magnificent; and, at the same time, she was not sure whother all was right, Pircebo having in formed her that there Was nobody with her bro ther and Mr. Stowart,and that this smugglers still had the command of tho vessel. After a while, Pickersgill end Corbett wont down forward, and returned dressed in the smugglers' clothes, when they mourned their walk on the deck. In the mean time, it was dark; the cutter flew along the Coast: and the Needles' lights wore on the larboard bow. Time conversation between Cecilia, Mrs. Lascolles, and her father, was long. When all had boon detailed, and the conduct of Pickersgill duly reprovonted, Lord J 3. acknowl edged that, by attacking the smuggler, he lied laid Ininsolf open to retaliation; that Pickersgill had shown a groat deal of forbearance in every instance; and, after all, had he not gone on board the yacht she might have been lost, with only three seamen on board. Ho was aroused with the smuggling and the fright of his sister; still more, with the gentlemen being sent to Cher bourg; and much consoled that he was not tho only one to be laughed at. Ho was also much pleased with Pickersgill's mtention of leaving the yacht safe in Cowes harbor, hia'respect to the property on board, and his conduct to the ladies. On the whole, lie felt grateful to Pickersgill; and where there is gratitude, thoro is always good will. "But who can ho be?" Paid Mrs. Lasceller "his name he acknowledges not to Pickers ill; and he 2 told me confidentially that he was of good family." "Confidentially! my dear Mrs. Lascelles," said Lord B. "Oh, yes ! we are both his confidants. Arc we not, Cecilia?" "Upon my honor, Mrs. Lucency, this smuggler appears. to have made an impression which many have attempted in vain." "Mrs. Lascelles (lid not reply to that remark, but said, "Now, my lord, you must decide; and I trust you will—to oblige us—treat him as he has treated us, with the greatest respect and kindness." "Why should you suppose otherwise?" replied Lord B.; "it is not only my wish, but my interest, so to do. He shay take us over to France to-nip,dit. or any where else. Has lie not possession of the ves sel?" "Yes," replied Cecilia; but we flatter ourselves that we have the command. Shall wecall him down, papa?" "Ring for Maddox. Maddox, tell Mr. Pickers gill, who is on deck, that I wish to speak with bins, and shall be obliged by his stepping down Into the cabin." "Who, my lord? What! him?" "Yes, him.." replied Cecilia, laughing. "Must I call him, my lord, now, miss?" "You may do as you please, Maddox; but recollect, he still is in possession of the vessel," replied Ceci lia. "Then, with your lordship'apermissi on, I will; it's :he safest way." The smuggler entered the cabin; the ladies start ed as he appeared !a his rough costume, with his throat open, and his loose black handkerchief. He was the beau-ideal of a handsome sailor. "Your lordship wishes to communicate with me?" "Mr. Pickersgill, 1 feel that you have had cause of enmity against me, and that you have behaved with forbearance. I thank you for your considerate treat ment of the ladies; and I assure you, that I feel no resentment for what has passed." "My lord, I am quite satisfied with what you have said; and I only hope that, in future, you will not in terfere with a poor smuggler,who may be striving,by a life of danger and privation, to procure subsistence for himself, and, perhaps, his family. I stated to these ladies my intention of anchoring the yacht this night at Cowes, and leaving her as soon as she was in safely. Your unexpected presence will only make this difference, which is, that I must previously ob tain your lordship's assurance that those with you will allow me and my men to quit her without molesta tion, after we have performed this service." "I pledge you my word, Mr. Pickersgill, and I thank you into the bargain. I trust you will allow me to offer some remuneration.' "Most certainly not, my lord." "At all events, Mr. Pickersgill, if, at any other time, I can be ofservice, you may command me." Pi ckersgill made no reply. "Surely, Mr. Pickersgill—" . - "Pickersgill! how 1 hate that name!" said the smuggler. musing. "I beg your'fordship's pardon— if I may require your assistance for any of my unfor tunate companions—" "Not for yourself, Mr. Pickersgill ?" said Mrs. Lascelles. "Madam, i smuggle no more." "For the pleasure I feel in Hearin' that resolution, Mr. Pickersgill," said Cecilia,- "take my hand and thanks." "And mine," said Mrs. Lascelles, half crying. "And mine, too," said Lord B.; rising up. Pickeregill passed the back of his :multi across his eyes, turned round, s a d l e ft the c a bi n . "I'm so happy !" said Dirs. Lascelles,- bursting in to tears. "tie's a magnificent fellow," observed Lord B.— "Come, let us all go on deck." "You have not seen my aunt, papa." "True; go in to her, and then follow you." The ladies went upon deck. Cecilia entered into conversation with Mr. Stewart, giving him a narra tive of what bad happened. Mrs Lascelles sat abaft at the taffrail, with her pretty hand supporting her (cheek, looking very much a la Juliette. "Mrs. Lase.elles, " said Pickersgill; "before we part, allow me to observe, that it is you who have induod me to give up my profession---" "Why inn, Mr. Pickersgill?" "You said that you did not like it." Mrs. Lascelles felt the force of the compliment. "You said, just now, that you hated the name of Pick ersgill; why do you call yourself so?" "It was my smuggling name, Mrs. Lascelles." "And now, that you have left off smuggling; pray what may be the name we are to call you by ?"

Sun. GREAT MEETING IN UNION TOWN, CA.. '. !. 4 —The meeting at Union Town, Fayette County, Pa. on Saturday the 20th ult, . said to have been the largest political.meet7. ing ever hold in that county. About six. hundred persons—comprising a large por tion ofilie bone and sinew of - the county-- were in attendance. The meeting was posed of men of all parties; and resolutions , approving of the internal improktement and,. bank bill, lately passed by the Pennsylvania Legislature o depre adopted unanimously. ' Fayette county is a staunch old Jackson county, of the keystone State; but the result of this great county meeting would seem to prOve that the people of western Pennsylva.., nia are not at all disposed to be "bambooz.-: led" by the catch words of the Globe, a- gainst this Pennsylvania measure, or tern. fled by its thunders.—Balt. Pat. • - . JOI.EPIf RITIVER.—The administration of this gentlemen, who is the first western and - •.:, first Anti•blasonic Governor, seems debtilv ed to be ranked as the most distinguished which we have ever had' in this Common. wealth. It has so far manifested a truly : fostering and paternal spirit towards all in. torests and all classes ofppciety. The Re. lief Bill alone will immortoliz f e the first year of his administration, as the Declaration of Independence did the 4th of July, Pittsburg Gazette. The Globe continues to assail the Bank ,•! of the United States. Its editor knows that he is in debt to the Bank, and viper like, he has, ever since he became indebted, been endeavoring to destroy the institution. If Blair possessed a particle of honesty or honor,ho Fs wild first pay what he owes, and then assail the Bank. There is no novelty in the case, however. It is a characteristic of blackhearted ingratitude to hate thane which it is indebted.-1- - Phi/ad. Inquirer. THE RELIEF Iliz.t.-The information re. ceived from all parts of the Stare relative to the relief bill, is truly gratifYing to those of its friends who sustained it in defiance'Of personal threats and party denunciation.— Its enemies cannot longdisguise the fact .that a great majority of the people, of all parties are in favor of the measure. It has. passed like electricity amongst the people, and awakened more interest than any mea sure that has been agitated for years. Singe the final passage of the bill, letters Of appro. !Nation are rolling in full of "Glory." We think the Legislature ought to give tit Voti3' of thanks to Gen. Jackson for" vetoing the bill that passed Congress in 1682, us it put FIVE MILLIONS OF DOLLARS into' the pockets of the ta:c payers.of Pezitisylkt-.
