My heart swelled in my bosom as thoughl would .sther. The clattering of galloping hoofs —I was pursued—they .were now oponahe award on which I was running—there was not a bush nor a bramble to shelter me— and, as if to render escape altogether desperate, the moon, which had hitherto been obscured, at this moment shone forth. with a broad,.c.lear Ight, which made .every obyeu distinctly Visible. The sounds were now close behind me. I felt my knees bending under me, with the sense. sion which tormeuts one in dreams. I reeled— lstninhled—I fsll--and at the same instant the cause of my alarm wheeled past me in full gallop. It was one of the young fillies which red loose about the park, whose frolicks [thus all but maddened me with terror. I scrambled to my feet and rushed on with weak but rapid steps, my sportive companion still allopin round and round me With many a Link and fling, until, at length, more dead than alive, I reached the avenue gate. and crossed the mile, I scarce knew how. I ran through the ' , in which all was silent as the grave, an ' my ress was arrested by a hoarse voice of a seem, who cried, “ Who goes there?" I felt that I was now safe. I turned in the direc- tion of the voice, and fell fainting at the soldier’s bet. When I came to myself, I was sitting in a miserable hovel, surrounded by strange faces, all bespeaking curiosity and compassion. Many soldiers were in it also; indeed, as I afterwards found, it was employed as a guard room by a detachment of troops quartered for that night intown. In a few words, I informed their officer of the circumstances which had occurred, de- scribing also the appearance of the persons engaged in the murder; and be, without loss of time, proceeded to the mansion house of Carrick- leigh, taking with him a party of his men. But the villains had discovered their mistake, and ’ effected their escape before the arrival of the military.

The Frenchwoman was, however, arrested in the neighbourhood upon the next day. She was tried and sentenced upon the ensuing assizes; and. evious to her execution, confessed that “ she find a bandits making Hugh Tisdall's bed." She had been a housekeeper in the castle at the time, and a kind of alien (unit of my uncle’s. She was, in reality. able to speak English like a native, but had exclusively use: the French la , 1 an , to facilitate er disguise. the saliiiprbardened wretch which she had lived, confessing her crimes only, as she al that her doing so might involve Sir Art or T-—-n, the great author of her guilt and m'uery, and whom she now regarded with unmitigated detestation.

With the particulars of Sir Arthur's and his son's escape, as far as they are known, you are acquainted. You are also in possession of their alter fate—the terrible, the tremendous retribu- tion which, after long delays of many years, finally overtook and crushed them. Wonderful and inscrutable are the dealings of God with his- creatures.

Deepand fervent as must always be my gra- vtitnde to Heaven for my deliverance, effected by a chain of providential occurrences, the failing .ofa single link of which must have ensured my .deetrtiction, it was long before I could look back upon it with other feelings than those of bitter- nel, almost of agony. The only being that had ever really loved me, my nearest and dearest friend, ever ready to sympathise, to counsel and to assist—the gayest, gentlest, warmest heart— -the only creature on earth that cared for me— ,Lsr life had been the,price of my deliverance; and [then uttered the wish, which no event of my long and sorrowful life has tau me to recall. that she had been spared, and t at in her lead, I were mouldering in the grave, forgotten and at rest.

Mr. LONGWORTH moved, that the order for engrossing the Bill for continuing several Acts which are about to expire, be discharged, and that the Bill be referred to a Special Committee. One of the expiring Laws, for the continuance of which the Bill provided, was the Act for preventing Sheep running at large in Charlottetown. It was his intention to propose that this should be made a separate Bill of, in order that Goats might be included, as the number of those animals novv suffered to-go at large about the streets, was found to be a nuisance. An- other reason for discharging the order, was, that one or two Acts, by which a tax was imposed, and which it was

which went to continue other Acts—this he thought was clearly irregular.
