A Lirru while after suppero large covered wag- on drew up before the nor ; the night was clear starlight, and Phineas jumped briskly down from his seat to arrange his passengers. George walked out of the door, with his child on one arm and his wife on the other. Ilis ste was firm, his face settled and resolute. Roche and Simeon came out after them. “ You t out a moment,” said Phineas, to those inside, “and let in»; fix the back of the wagon. there. for the womeii—folks and the boy." " Here are the two bu Ziloes," said Rachel. " Make the seats as comfortable as may be ; it‘s hard riding all ni .

The ol wo- niili was next handed in and seated, and George and Jim laced on a rough-board seat front of them, an Phineas mounted in front. “ Farewell. my friends 3" said Simeon, from without. - “ God bless you !" answered all from within. And the wagon drove off, rattling and jolting over the frosen road. here was no opportunity for conversation, on account ol' the roughness of the way and the noise of the wlieels. The vehicle therefore rumbled on, throu h long. dark stretches of woodland, over wiile dreary plains, up hills and down volleys, and on, on, on the jo d, hour after hour. The child soon fell as eep, and lay heavil "in his mother's lop. The poor, fri litened olif woman at last forgot her fears : am even Elisa, as the night waned, found all her anxieties insuflcient to keep her eyes from closing. Phineas seemed, on the whole, the briskest of the company, and lieguiled his long drive with whistling certain very un-quoker- like son as he went on. at it ut three o'clock.

Come lfiletltl !" said Phineas, as_ the reached the rocks, and saw, in the mingl; starli ht and dawn, the traces of a rude t plain y marked footpath leading up among them: this is one of our old hunting dens. Come up !" Phineas went before, springing up the rocks like ii goat. with the boy in his arms. Jim came second, bearing his treinblin old mother over his shoulder, and George and in brought up the rear. The rty of horsemen come up to the fence, and, wit mingled shouts and oaths, were disniounting, to repare to follow them. A few moments, scromb ing brought them to the top of the led ; the path then passed between a narrow deiifi, where only one could walk at a time, till suddenly they came to a rift or chasm more than a yard in breadth, and beyond which lay a ile of rocks, se rate from the rest of the ledge, standing full thirt feet high, with its sides steep and rpendicu or as those of a castle. Phineas easily leipped the chasm, and sat down the boy on o smoo , flat platform of crisp white inoss, that covered the top of the r oc . “ Over with you !" he called : “ spring, now, once, for your lives 3” said he, as one a another sprang across. Several fragments of loose stone formed a kind of breastwork, which sheltered their position from the observation of those bcl0W' “ Well, here we all are,” said Phineas, p- ingiovcr the stone breastwork to watch as- sai ants, who were coming tumultuously up under the rocks. “ Let ’em get us, if the can. hoover comes here has to walk sin e file between those two rocks, in fair range of your pistols, boys, d’ye see!" “ I do ee," said George; and now, as this matter is ours; let us take all the risk, and do all the fighting.” “ Thee s uite welcome to do the fighting, George," said Phineas, chewing some c ccker- berry-leaves as he spoke; “ but I may have the fun of looking on, suppose. But see, one follows are kinder debotin down there, and looking up, like hens when t ey are goingto fly up on to the roost. IIadn't thee better give ’em a word of advice, before the come up, just to tell ‘em handsomely, they'll shot it they do!" The rty beneath, now more apparent in the light (ifufhe dawn, consisted of our old acquaint- ances, Tom Loker and Marks, with two con- stables, and a see consisting of such rowdics at the last tavern as could be engoged byo little brandy to go and help the fun of trapping a set of iii rs. H Hall, Tom, yer coons are forly treed," said one. “ Yes, I see ’em gp up right here," said Tom; “ and here's a pot . 'm for going right up. They can't jump down in o burr , and it won t take long to ferret ’em out. “ But, Tom, the might fire at us from behind the rocks,” said I arks. “ That would be ugly, you now." “ Ugh! ” said Tom, with s sneer. “ Always for saving your skin, Marks! No danger ! Ni rs are too pla uy scared !" “ don't know w I:Iiouldn’t save my skin,” said Marks. “ It's t s best I've got; and iiig- gers do fight like the devil, sometimes." At this moment George appeared on the top of u rock abovedtliem, and, speaking in o calm, clear voice, soi — “Gentlemen, who are you down there, and wliatwdo you wont! ’ f o ” _d “ cwont o o runawn niggers, sai Tom Loker. “pfliliiay George Hiyrrls, ond Elisa Harris, and their son, and Jim Seldon, and on old woman.

If it had been only a Hungarian youth, now, bravely defending in some mountain fsstness retreat of fu itlves escaping from Austria into America, th is would ave been sublime ism; but as it was a youth of African de- scent, defending the retrest of fugitives tbrouglh America into Canada, of course we are too we I instructed and patriotic to see any heroism in it; and if any of our readers do, they must do it on their own private responsibility. When despairing Hungarian fu itives make their wn‘y,:ogoinst all the seam -warrants and au- thorities of their lawful government. to Ameri- co, press and political cabinet ring with up- plause and welcome. When despairing Afri- can fugitives do the some thing, it is what is it! Be it as it may, itis certain that the attitude, eye, voice, manner of the speaker, for a moment struck the party below to silence. There is something in boldness and determination that for n time bushes even the rudest nature. Marks was the only one who remained wholly untouched. He was deliberntel cockng his istol, and in the momentary sl ence that fol- owed George's speech, he fired at him. “ Ye see, ye t jist as much for him dead as alive in Kentuc y, ’ he said coolly, as he wiped his pistol on his coat sleeve. eorge spron backward--Him uttered a shriek-— the bal had passed close to his hair, hod ncorl graced the check of his wife, and stuck in t e tree above. “ It's nothing, Elisa," said Goorge, quickly. “Thec'd better kee out of sight, with thy spcechifying.” said hineos; “they're mean scam .

The first man that shows himsel Hire at ; ou hike the second, and so on : it won't do, you know, to waste two shots on one,” “ But what ifyou don’t hit! " “ I shall hit," said George, coolly. “ Good! ow, there's stuflin that fellow," muttered Phineas, between his teeth. The party below, after Marks had fired, stood, for a moment, rather undeci ed. “ I think you must have hit some on ’em.” said one of the men. " I heard a suieal ! " “ I'm going right up for one," said Tom. “I never was afraid of niggers. and I ain't going to be now. Who goes after? " lie said, spring- ingiup the rocks. eorge heard the words distinctly.‘ He drew up his pistol, examined it, pointed it towards that int in the defile where the flrst man woul appear. One 0 the most courageous of the party fol- lowed Tom, and, the way being thus made, the whole party began pushing up the rock—the hindcrmcst ushing the front ones faster than they would vs gone of tliemiu-Ives. On they came, and in a moment the burly form of Tom apeored in sight, almost at the verge of the c asm. George iirod—the shot entered his side; but though wounded he .wcuId not retreat, but, with n ysll like that of a mad bull. he was leaping right screen the chasm into the pony. “ Friend, ' said Phineas, suddenly to the front, and meeting him with a " thoe isn't win here. Down he fell into the chasm, crackling down among trees, bushes. logs, loose stones, till he luv, bruised and groaning, thirty feet below. The fall might have killed him, had it not been broken and moderated by his clothes catching in the branches of o large tree; but he came down with some force, however-—morc than was at nll agree- nblc or convenient. " Lord, help us! they are perfect devils!” said Marks, heading the retreat down the rocks with much more of n will, than he had joined the ascent, while all the party come tumbling precipiinicly nflcr him—the fut constable, in particular, blow- ing and pulling in a very energetic manner. "I on fallen,” said Marks, “ you jist go round on pick up Tom, there, while I run and st on y horse, to go back for help—ihst’s yon;" and without minding the hootings and jesrs of his company. Marks was as good as his word, and was soon ssce galloping nwoy. “ Was over such a sneaking varmint!" said one ofilis mun. " To come on his business, and be clear out and leave us this yer way!” “ Well. we must pick up ilm feller," sold an- other. “ Cues me, if I much care whether he is dead or alive.” The men, led by the groans of Tom, scrambled and crackled through stumps, logs and bushes. to when that bore lay groaning and sweating with alternate vchsmencs. " Yo keep it o-going pretty loud, Tom," said one. '* Yo uch hurt!" push from his long arms, I now. Get me up, can’! ye? Blast that infernal Quaker! If it had not been for him, I'd u pitc some on’ciIi down here, to see how they iksd it.” ith much labour and groaning, the fallen hero was to rise: und, with one holding him up under such shoulder, they got him as for as dis hornos. - “ If you could only get me a mile back to that or hvuni. ve me o handkerchief or some- thing, tostnf into this place, and stop this inferlml blocdin .” look over the rocks, and sow them trying to lib the burl mm of Tom Into the mddlc.

" Softly, softly; on’t thee snap and snarl, friend,” said Phineas, as Tom winced and push- ed his hand away. “ Thee has no chance, un- less I stop the b ceding.” And Phineas busicd imself with making some ofl‘-hand sur ical arrangements with his own pockct—bandkerc ief, and such as could be niusterdd in the company. _“ You pushed me down there," said Tom thingy. . “ 'ell, if I hadn't, thee would have pushed us down, the sees, said Phineas, as he stooped to apply his hands. . “ There, there-—let me ' s bonda . a mean well to thee; we bear no malice.

In men of his class, vigour and resolution are entirel a physical matter, and ooze out with the flowin of the blood; and the i ntic fellow really looked piteous in his lie p essness. The other part now. cums The seats were taken out of tie wagon. e bulliilo-skins, doubled in fours. were spread all along one side, and four men, with great difiiculty, lifted the heavy form of Tom into it. Before he was gotten in, he fainted entirely. The old negress, in the abundance of her com scion, sat. down on the bottom, iiud took his cad in her lap. Eliza, George and Jim, bestowed themselves, as well as they could, in the remaining space, and the whole rty set forward. “ at do you think of him 7" said George, who sat by Phineas, in front. -‘Well, it's only a pretty deep flesh-wound ;but then tumbling and scratching down that place didn't help him much.

A ride of about an hour more brought the party to a nest farm-house. where the weary travellers were received to an abundant breakfast. Tom olisr was soon carefully deposited in a much cleaner and softer bed than he had ever been in the habit of occupying.

Mr. I-Ioi.r..—I to second the motion of my hon. friend (Mr. Hensley); but before I ofiiminy remarks of my own on the question under considers- tion, I must take a rotrospoctive view of the circum- stances which attended the agitation of n sirnilnr nico- sure when it up red before the Council in I846; for I find that their Honors who now advocate a fur- ther issue of Tucson y Notes, were tliundiumetricslly p to one a measure. But in order to bringthu imittcr more clearly before your Honors, I cannot do better than quote, from the reported speeches, the precise language by which they supported the opin- ions they then entertained on this important question. In the Royal Gazc_ttc of the 7th April, I840 (iii which the proceedings of the Council are reported, on they occurred on the 27th March, I843, when the Treasur Note Bill was brought under its notice), I find his onor the present Attorney General , on mov- ing the Order ofthc Du , viz., “ the consideration df the Resolution of tho once of Assembly on the sub- ject of addressing the Queen. praying that Her Ms- jesiy will be graciously pleased to consent to the us- ing of an Act authorizing an additional issue of res- sury Notes," his Honor Mr. Ycun opened the discussion by reading the Resolution of the House of Assembly, as follows: “ Resolved, The! n Committee be appointed, to join a Committee of the Legislative Council, to pie- pnrc and report the draft of an Address to the Queen, praying that Her Mujest will be graciously pleased to grant her consent to t s suing of an Act antho- rizing un ndditicnnl issue of’ Treasury Notes, to the amount of £15,000, for the urpcos ofliquidoting an equal amount of Treasury rirrnnts, to be redeemed within the period of ten years, out of the general Ro- vsnnc of the Colony." His Honor then proceeded at great length to denounce the measure as expressed in that Resolution. His own words are these: “ Now, in the firs! plnce, I beg to observe, that it is, I presume, pretty well known, that in consequence of the present excessive issue of Treasury Notes unredeemcblc in specie, they are de- preciiited 20 per cent. in their nominal value; und if the proposed sddilicnnl issue were to be made, have they would become depreciated to from 22; to 25 per cent." And his Honor continues the sums strain in opposition to an issue of r not redeema- ble in specie, until he touches on the subject of Tres- sur Warrants, when he uses the following words: “ t has been alleged, in another place, that if the proposed additional issue of £15,000 were made, and applied in the payment of that amount of Treasury Warrants, the interest of that sum would be saved annually to the Colony. But this position is, I think, untenable, for the reasons I have already assigned. and would not be found to roduce that efloct in its practical operation. And i these Notes were funded, as the Resolution ccntcm lutes, where would be the saving, if we were cblig to pay the interest? I look upon the Resolution with rather u suspicions eye. It appears to ms to hear something of this chsructcr: the Government ows £15,000. secured, we will say. for the sake of argument, by s Be The holder do- mnuds payment. The Government says. we cannot pay you in cash; but we will give on our Promissory Notes for the whole debt, in smod amounts of £5 or £1, just as units our convenience. Put this in the light of a private transaction, and then enquire, how any of your Honors would feel, if such a proposition were made to you. You would treat it with scorn and dsrision. It is true. you might agree to it, if the small Notes would be worth to you the amount Ip- pesring on the face of them. But if you knew these Notes to be already depreciated 20 per ccnt., nndtbut there was s great probabilit of their being soon du- preciutsd 25 per cent. in value, you would reject the offer, and mi ht chnrnctciiu the reposition us any thing rsthert on an honest one. I ave often thought that it was a disgrace to our Island. that our Notss would not pass be and its limits; and it is o circum- stance which cug t not to exist; because, as I said before, we are well able to pay 20s. in the pound; and if the present system were totally changed, or wholly amended, our Notes would pass as freely in the neighbouring Colonies as their N otcs pass in ours." His Honor, after some further remarks, which I used not read. concluded by moving the Resolutions: “Resolved, That the Legislative Council do do- sire s Conference with the House of Assembly on the subject matter of addressing Her Majesty praying that Her Majesty will be graciously pleased to grant her consent to the passing of an Act authorizing an additional issue of Treasury Notes. to the amount of £l5,090, for the piir amount of Trsuur wlihin the period c ten curs, out of the general Revenue of the Colon . Ifhct the following reasons for not agreeing to join in the Address, be given to the Committee: First, bsciiuso the House. on ino- tnre consideration of the subject, are of opinion, that o further issue of Treasury Notes, which the Treasury has no means of redeeming in upociu, would create a further depreciation in the currency of this Island, which is already depreciated to 20 cent. below that of the neighbourin Colonies. 3'. condl , becu e the giving clfect to t c pr I cou- tiiin in the csolution of the House of sucrnbly, for applying the Notes to be issued to tho poy' of of an equal amount of Treasury Warrants, worm in the opinion of the House, not cnl be roductivsof ‘(ell injustice to the holders of me srrnnts,—in- asmuch us it would be compelling them to accept iiyment of such Warrants in n currency duprocistsd s ow its present value, u there occasion much individual lou,—but would also to toduotroy pub- lic coqfldsncs in the integrity and credit of tho Govern- ment. The Hon. Mr. Hon. continIod—I think Ibovo stated enough to shew that his honor's opinions were at that day, and lnow,witli your crininsion will take a review of the opinions of His onor Mr. Swo- boy, who has just rncvod the second reading of tho Trsusury Note Bill, now under discussion.
