THE ARISTOCRACY OF ENGLAND . A HISTORY FOR THE PEOPLE . By John Hamp-BEir , Junior . London : Chapman , Brothan , 121 , Newgate Street ; Effingham Wil «» n , Royal Exchance . [ No . IV . ] The portion of thie admirable work we have how to notice is devoted to the showing that England with all its lands , legislature , and dependencies is the possessionof the aristocracy . Our author says , — The Srit epoch of English aristocracy « aw it enrich itself by the monarch ' s bounty , but punished and reduced by the monarch ' s resentment of its assumptions . The second epoch saw it stand by the monarch , and fall with him . The third and last saw it with more than Ulvssean , with more than Michiavellian , with more than Loyolean cunning , draw an eternal warning from its past errors , assume the Jolict of hipocbist , and our own eyss have beheld its consequent and
cnpabalieiedt&idhph ! While lauding the people '* glory , it has accomplished its disgrace ; while bowing in mock defiance to itssovereignty , it has stolen its birthright ! It has impudently picked our pockets while it has laughed in our faces , and pretended to reverence and obey John Bull , while it has laid him on hi * back , and taken his cash at its lei . sure . At this hour , spite of the Reform Bill which was to annihilate its aggresious , it stands the great triumphant Colossus of all property , all govcrnment , fand all power in this country . If » ny one shonld aslc me -what the aristocraey possesses in tbis nation , 1 would ask him what it does not possess . " The aristocracy of England possesses everything in England . "
We have ( raced its history , let us cow trace its possenions . These are : — 1 . The Crown . 2 . The State ; with all its offices , taxes , and pensions . 3 . The Army and Navy . 4 . The Church in England , Wales , Ireland , and the Colenies ; with all ils dignities and livings . 5 . The Crown Lands and aearly all the Lands of England . 6 . The Public Charities . 7 . Ireland and the Colonies ; India , Canada , Australia , the West Indies , the Cape , the Mauritius , &c , &e . This is a startling statement , and there will be tho » e who are ready to protest atfainst its accuracy . If we have not , however , already sufficiently proved that accuracy in the course of this volum ? , we will pledge ourselves to do it very speedily . If it oe accurate , it is time that the whole nation started up , and with one voice demanded the restitution of its rights .
Several chapters are occupied with the details proving the above assertions . In the course of his investigation he savs in anBw . er to the question
WHO BECKIVB THK TAXES ? The Aristocrats . Who the pensions ! Turn to tho pension list , and wham do you find ! Addingtom , Ardens , AUhorpa , Amhewle , An ? l * seys or Pagets , Arnuthnots , Argyles , Aucklands . Athlones , Arlmers , Bag . its .

Itiehmonds , Rodneys , Rosei and Rosses a regiment , Russells , Seymours , Scotts , Shaftesburys , Sinclairs a clan , Smiths a whole rabble ( for eveu the Smiths have got ennobled ) , Somersets , Spottiswoods , Benleys . Stanhopes , Stew -its , Talbots , Thurlowes , Vernons , Villiers . Walpoles , Wellingtons , Winchesters , Wyndhamn , Wynns , &c , &c . These fill out a gigantic list of £ 895 . 000 a . year , to which we shall come presently , with their various sums of from . £ 35 , 000 to a poor £ 50
a-year . If the history of this list—the unieu and merits for which these sums of the people ' s money were grantedcould be fairly and fully written by some Asmodeus who had been behind the scenes , it would make the most awful chronicle of crime , public aad private , villainy and leprosy of * oul . that ever existed . It wonld make Satan " grin horribly" from ear to ear , and an honest Englishman hide his head for shame . Our author cuts up the pension list most unmercifully , amongst ether revelations showing that the amount of public money ostensibly paid to literary and scientific persons is for the most part swallowed by the needy relatives and bangers on of the aristocracy , who hare never given evidence of either literary abilities or scientific attainments . A long list of infamous pensions is given , wnich the following item may serve to illustrate : —
Grafton , Duke of hereditary pension out of the Excise Reveaue . £ 7 , 200 \ ln ... n Ditto Post-office ... 3 , 384 / 1 U ' SH * ° ° This is one of theineumbrances fixed by Charles II . on the country for Ms bastards . Bnt what right had he or any King to compel all posterity to pay for toe coneequenses of his debaucheries ? Oar anther well says , "The aristocrats have formed their robbery into a system , and then coolly declared it a right—a ' vested right ; ' —that name for the foulest of all wrongs , a wrong bo shameless , that if a man claim a vested right , he ought at opce to be hanged ud . without judge or jury , as a traitor to his country . "
SCOTCH VOIJ 0 RES . The Scotch stand pre-eminently on the pension list . They kicked hard against the Union , but it has proved a blessed Union to them . They have come down from their mountains in whole regiments upon us . We have Campbells , sixteen in a . row , with pensions from £ 184 to £ 3 , 000 . We have Cockburns , eight in a row , five of them women , with pensions of from £ 100 to £ 680 each . We haTe Erekinei , six in a rote , four of them women , with pensions from £ 300 to £ 400 each . We hare Gractf , eleten in a roio ; Hamiltons , ten ; Macs of different kinds , two dozen ; Murrays , nine , amongst them a good sprint , ling of honourable Deborahs and Lady Charlottes ; Roses and Rosses and Rothes , a dozen ; Sinclairs , six , four of llGTA WOITICD _
Two of the most important sections of this portion of the work are , 1 st . The exposure of the way in which the aristocracy have appropriated the crown lands to themselves , and contrived to render the land tax a mere nullity , thus 'robbing both monarch and people ; and Sndly . Their appropriation of ibe pnblic schools and other charities by which they iave added to their plunder , at the same time inflicting misery and ignorance , even upon such helpless beings as the aged , and the impotent , the widow and the orphan . Next John ITampden , jun ., shows how the ' aristocracy " conserve" to themselves all the emoluments , pickings , and snns berths in the army , the navy , and the church . Here is a slap at the black-slugs : —
THE PAHSOSS AND THE DEVIL . Lucky , hut ungrateful fallows ! for they are always abusing their best friend . Other warriors laud their enemy , for by so doing they enhance their own prowess , buttheclergv!—they are for ever and unmercifully abusing tfteir enemy—the devil ! And yet , where were their trade without him ? What need of them ? There once came a rumour that the devil was dead , and all the elergy sunk aghast into their elbow chairs J Oh , woeful day for them had that rumour proved true . As Sam Slick says , " it had been goo -e with them . " Ungrateful , the most ungrateful of living mortals , to ab'ise , denounce , ani vilify that ancient foe , who keeps them in A snug little property in this country of Un millions a-year !
A chapter is devoted to Ireland and the Colonies , and in this chapter the reader will find a full account of the titles , places , and pensions showered upon the corrupt vagabonds and rascals who had or owned scats in the Irish Parliament , for their assent to the Act of Union . A review of the administration of India and the Colonies opens up further exhibitions of unblushing corruption and rapacious plunder . The author thus concludes this portion of his history ;— " In a rapid survey , we have beheld how everything—erown , charter , church , House of -j ommons , crown lands , public charities , and even the vast extent of our own Colonies , are engrossed and enjoyed by this mighty and all-grasping aristocracy . We have one little step further to advance , and to inquire , who then are «» realiiy ihese aristocrats who thus rule over and ruin us ? And who are the people who thus submit patiently to be devoured ?"

THE LONDON PIONEER . B . D . Cousins , 18 Duke Street , Lincoln ' s Inn Fields . An excellent translation of Eugene Sue's new work , Martin the Foundling , is in course of publication in this periodical . This new production of the great French fictionist , is creating an extraordinary sensation . The pictures of French society presented by M . Sue , so painfully true in the main , foreshadow a social revolution in France of the . most awful character . Those who read this story , will be at no loss to comprehend the march of Communism in that country . The usurers and Sybarites have good cause to dread the coming future . The variety of entertaining and instructive matter furnished in this publication for one penny , is truly astonishing . Here is a ourious story of a
DIALOGUE BKIWXEK A MESUEBIST AMD A DEAB KAN . An American mesmerist one day paid a visit to a sick , man , with the view of mesmerising him for his complaint . Having made a few passes , the patient soon fell into a state of coma . ¦ How do you feel now ! ' said the mesmerist . ' Very ill , ' said the patient ; 'I shall be dead in three hours . ' - ' Nonsense ! ' said the mesmerist ; 'you will bs better in that time . ' < Never ! ' said the patient . The doctor , who was present , shook his head and said he could not live that time . All parties retired , leaving the sick man alone for two hours . After this the mesmerist again visited him , and again put the same qutstiou , < How do you feel now V ' Worse still , ' ( aid the patient ; « I have only an hour to live now . '
The mesmerist again retired . In an hour after the doctor cams down stairs , and pronounced the man dead . Never ! ' said the mesmerist ; 'I will go up and see him . * The mesmerist went up stairs , and began to mesmerise the corpse . 'Hew do you feel now ! ' again asked the meimeriit . ' Why , I've been dead nearly half an hour , ' said the corpse . ' Yon are joking , ' answered the mesmerist . ¦ Why do you bother me so now t I tell you I'm dsad , ' ¦ aid the corpss : 'Nothing of the kind , ' said the mesmerist ; 'I'll go down for the doctor , and let him know that you are not dtad . '
The mesmerist hastened down stairs , and told tho doctor the man iras not de » i * The dostor diibelieved it ; but , after a short time , went up with themesmeriser . The doctor proclaimed the man as dead as a door-nail ; bat the mesmeriser asserted the contrary . ' How are you notr ! ' said the latter . I ' ve been dead above an hour , ' said tha corpse ' Why don't you let me alone , and not keep asking me such silly questions !' 'You only imagine you are dead , ' said the mesmeriser ; ' I'll mesmerise you again , and see if I cannot get you to lit up for a short time , you will then gat better , perhaps recover altogether . ' 'Never , never ! ' said the corpse ; 'I tell you I'm dead . Let me alone . '
During this time the friends and relations of the corpse , including the doctor , who were present , stood amazed and frightened . A rumour got abroad that the supposed dead man was in a traace ; and no preparations were made to bury him . At the end of two days the mesmeriser again appeared , accompanied by the doctor . The latter declared the man deader than ever . The chief mourner , a nephew of the corpse , who was willed an estate of considerable value , and 25 , 000 dollars , and also several other expectants of large legaciee , were present A breathless silence was observed ; when , all of a sudden , the mesmari 6 tei . claimed , ' Why , doctor , the man is not dead ; see , tho colour is coming on his checks !' It is decomposition , ' cried the doctor ,
' I'll prove to the contrary , ' answered the mesmerist ; and , placing his mouth close to the ear of the corpse , anil puttingthe question , ' Row are you mow . ' the corpse immediately answered , 'Don't bother me ; I ' ve been dead these two days : let me alone . ' ' Why don't you stink , then ! ' said the ehief mourner in a very low tone , fearing the corpse should hear him . The mesmeriser , who was very quick of bearing , immediately took the nephew aside . ' Do you wish him to itink I' said the former . ' Either bring him to life or make him stink , ' said the nephew . ' Which you like , ' said the mesmerist : ' but—' ' I understand you , ' said the chief mourner . ' Bat how in the world can you undo what you have done ? How ean you unmesmerise him !' 'Merely by reversing the passes , ' replied the mesmerlser .
'Here ' s a cheque for a thousand dollars , ' whispered the chief mourner , 'if you mill make Mm slink . ' 'And I will add five hundred dollars to it , ' said a second expectant , in a soft , but energetic tone , 'if you will convince us that he stinks !' The mesmerist went to work ; reversed the passes ; and in five minutes the corpse stunk them all out of the room . * • # « * Many superstitious and ignorant people look upon the nesmerisers as having had dealings with a certain misterious character , who is said to reside in a very warm region below . But people who are more liberal in their way of thinking , say that the mesmerist was a ventriloquist , and that the sick man was pastthepower of articulation hours before he was mesmerised .
We of the London Pioneer think the mesmeriser was a very clever fullow ; and we sincerely hope that the fifteen hunrded dollars will lie the means of gaining for him fifteen thousand more .

*^ n — LABOUR'S HISTORY , BI EBNESI JONES . Beneath the leaf-screened vault of Heaven Lay a child in care-less sleep , Amid tbe fair land , God had given As his own to till and reap . From afar three outlaws came : Each seemed to each of kindred guise , for each one thought , felt , hoped the same , Upon the fall of man to rise ! The first one wore a solden crown , The second raised a mystic sign , And darkened with a priestly frown The faith , that might have been divine . The third flashed forth his flaming blade And reeked of blood and sulphury strifo ; He gloried in his horrid trade :
A hireling , taking human life ! They bound the child in slumber ' s hour , With chains of force , and fraud , and craft ; And , round the victim of their power , King , Priest , and Soldier , stood and laughed . For they'd tho sceptre , to controul With lying pomp and hollow show ; The priestly staff , to smite the soul ; The &word to strike the body low . And centuries raised from time ' s dark womb A bloated form , in cunning bold : The gold-King of the mine and loom , Who tramples all , that bows to gold . On feudal power denouncing hate , He challenged it the strife to bide , For menej fought the church and state , And money deadened martial pride , Before their battle they arrayed ,
Each sought the slave and promised fair ; And those , who conquered through his aid , Tightened his chain , and left him there ! But now the child has grown a man , Thinking , reasoning , strong , and bold ; And they , who that false game began , Are withered , feeble , failing , old . And la ! Those chains of priests and kings , Strained by the Btrong frame , growing under , Those cankered , miserable things , Burst like rotten threads asunder . Arouse then , proud self-liberator ! Hurl to earth the weak oppressor , Scorn the aid of faction ' s traitor ,
Be thy own great wrongs redrcsser ! Kings have cheated , Priests hare lied , Break the sword on slavery ' s knee , And become , in manhood ' s pride , That which God intended—FREE !

Davenport , and our friends ge nerally , will be grieved to hear that poor Allen is on his death-bed . He has been for some time declining , and evidently has but a short time to live . He gave me , on Saturday , some manuscnptB which he wished preserved , and said , ' 1 am full Of years—I am past all recovery—my mind m made up—and I long for the slMep of death . ' " Poor Allen suffers no annoyance except from the Religious Tract people , who thrust themselves upon Mm in the absence of his attendant , in the hope of getting matter for a Tract out of something they may wring from him , or catch in the delirium of the last fitful struggle . "A short time aco , the Directors of the National

I saw , on Friday evening , that £ 1 had been collected for him at the Gould Square Mechanics Institution , of which he was lately President . My object is to say tbafc subscriptions can lie left for him with Mr . W . Pratt , at the Mechanics' Institution , Gould Square . Crutcbed Friars ' , City ; at Mr . Bendall ' s , Hall of Science , City Road ; and with Mr . Wa t son , at the Reasoner Office , 3 , Queen ' s Head Passage , Paternoster Row .

Allen is alone in the world , and has no one to look to but his sympathising co-labourers to smooth his last pillow , and provide for his suitable interment . Ko more need be said .
Nothing can better illustrate his equanimity ol mind ( go befitting his life ) as tbe circumstance that he dictated only a few days ago , ( September 20 th ) the following lines , on being asked if he would like to be buried in Kcnsall Green Cemetry .

TO THE READERS OF THE NORTHERN STAR . " Mt fri e nds , —From othergources besides the above , I have learned that the above report of the dying condition of poor Allen Davenport is but too true . Mr . Davenport has been known to the Political and Social Reformers of Great Britain for the last thirty years ; to the London Democrats he is intimately known , and they will admit that his services entitle him to the generous aid of freedom's friends , in these the last flickering moments of bis well-spent
existence . To minister to his last wants , ( if he shall be yet living when thi » comes- under the eyea of the Star readers , ) and to provide for the respectable interment of his remains , if indeed his , 'daya are numbered , I appeal to those readers of tbe ' Mrthtrn Star , in town and country , who are in circumstances to spare a trifle , to remit the pecuniary evidences of their sympathy to Mr . Watson , or any other of the persons above named , Immediately . G . Jclun Harmst . : Northern Star Office , October 1 st , 1846 .

DEATH OF THOMAS CLARKSON .
This venerable philanthropist died at Playford Hall , Suffolk , on Saturday last , in his 87 th year . He was the son of a gentleman who held the situation of master of the Wisbeach Free Grammar School . Having received the first rudiments of education under his father ' s eye , be was removed to St . Paul ' s School , and completed the days of his pupilage at St . John's College , Cambridge , where he attained considerable distinction . In the year 1785 Dr . Peckhard was Vice-Chancellor of the University , and he announced to the senior Bachelors of Arts tho following quection , as a subject for a prize Latin dissertation : —* ' Is it right to make slaves of others against their will ? " Mr . Clarkson in the preceding year gained the first prize for the Latin dissertation ; and , filled with an earnest desire to sustain the fame
thus acquired , he repaired to London , aud purchased as many books connected with the subject of slavery as he could possibly afford to buy . With these he speedily returned to Cambridge , and set himself earnestly to the work of preparing to indite his essay . But so painful to him was the perusal of these volumes , that for a considerable time he scarcely took any rest day or night ; he ceased to regard the essay as a mere trial for literary distinction , his great desire being to produce a work which should call forth a vigorous public effort to redress the wrongs cf the injured African . His essay was composed under feelings so excited , and with labour so intense , that when his acknowledged talents are
taken into account , no one will be surprised to learn that its reading was attended with brilliant' success . Even at tkat early period of bis life , he seemed to have been carried away by the conviction that it was the duty of some individual to devote bis life to a crusade against African slavey ; the thought grew upon him from day to day , and he could no longer keep his mind at rest . His connexion with some members of the Society of Friends , who had . previously devoted themselves to this cause , and his subsequent alliance with Wilberibrce , its Parliamentary leader , resulted in a great part of Mr . Clarkson ' s life being spent in promoting the emancipation of the negroes .
The business which Thomas Clarkson assigned to himself was the collection of evidence ; and to this he devoted all bis energies , with a self-sustaining endurance , which nothing but the most earnest faith could have imparted . He repeatedly travelled over England , visited France during the Revolution , obtained the approbation of Necker , the , consurrence of La Fayette , and strove to interest Mirabcau ; wrote letters , pamphlets , essays , and strove by every possible means to interest the public in the question . During the course of his long life , Mr . Clarkson received many gratifying proofs of the estimation in which he was held by large masses of his countrymen . The inhabitants of Wisbeach , his native place , subscribed for his portrait , to be preserved in their town as a memorial of their esteem . Wordsworth devoted to the praise of Clarkson a few of his best lines , and more than once Lord Brougham and other leaders of the anti-slavery movement , have borne testimony , not only to the value of his services , but to the purity of his motives .

pected termination of one of the most extraordinary cases of alleged forgery that has occurred for some years in the commercial world , by the grand jury sitting at the Central Criminal Court having ignored the bill which had been preferred against Captain William Richardson , must cause every fact connected with that event to be read with interest . " Although committed by the Lord Mayor on the charge of forgery , Messrs . Bushe and Mullins , the solicitors to the prosecution , considered that it would be adrissble to have two counts introduced in the indictment , the first for forgery , and the second for fraud , so that the prisoner might not escape upon any technical informality . To support the two counts it was found necessary " to have the names of no less than thirty witnesses upon the back of the bill , and to provent any failure in thoir attendance , Wednesda y afternoon , at half-pant two o ' clock , was fixed upon to go before the grand jury . At half-past two the
fir . ; t witness was called in , and while under examination , it > ras discovered that one witness was absent , who , unfortunately turned out to be tbe principal one , and to go on was to abandon the prosecution ; bat as there was a probability that he would arrive , witness after witness was maishall&d in in the absence of the missing witness , while messengers were despatched to various places for him , whe it was stated , had come from Brighton , and to the terminus on that line more than eno person , was despatched in tbe hope that he would be found in time . At length the last , making the twenty-ninth witness , was called in , and upon the yeoman who attends upon the grand jury inquiring if there were any further witnesses to be exciniined , a negative was the reply . Upon the result being known , aad as the grand jury immediately afterwards broke up , Messrs . Bushe and Mullins , and Mr . Fry , solicitor to the company , entered the grand jury room , where they expressed their surprise in strong terras . Some of the members of the grand iury who happened to remain , said
tuo reason which caused them to come to the conclusion which they did was , that they had attentively examined the check , and they were perfectly satish ' ed that the word " ten " had never been written , nor had any alteration been made ; they were satisfied that it was a blank check ; and that it was in evidence that the prisoner had authority to fill up blank checks ; that they had caused Mr . Stuuhenson to he called twice . —As Captain Richardson is discharged , he , as » matter of course , will retain the £ S 22 u , taken from his possession . Death im the Queen ' s Bench Prison ' . —On

Remarkable Phbkcmenon . —The sea at a short distance from the coast here presented some remarkable appearances during the past week . On Tuesday , about four o ' clock m the afternoon , about low water , tbe sea for about thirty yards from the shore , and along the coast from the Cove to the bay of Nipg , appeared of a purple colour , and continued to darken as the afternoon advanced . Our informant , who , with a large number of fishermen , observed the appearance , thinking it might arise from a reflection of the sky , went out in a boat and examined the water . To his astonishment , he found the boat actually in a sea of purple , and the water of a glutinous nature , containing so much colouring matter that it actually dyed red whatever object it touched . No effluvia could be perceived arising from the vrv ter . As the tide rose , tbe colouied water packed
closer in shore , and continued to become darker and darker . Next afternoon , the same appearances were observed to occur , but not to such an extent . Nothing of the kind seems to have ever been obsemA in this quarter before , although , perhaps , in other place ? , such appearances may have been witnessed . We may state- thai , on Monday , tlie fishermen between this and the Cove observed the sea , at about seventy or eighty yards from the shore , breaking out in dark spots , which may be supposed to have multiplied and magnified till they presented the appearance above mentioned . [ Since writing the above , we have ascertained that on Sunday and Monday , the shore was covered with great myriads of the medusa or galley fish—tho e circular pulpy substances that float about so numerously on tbe coast , and wherever they had spawned , the water had the appearance above described . ]—Aberdeen Herald .
Atrocious Case at Rothesat . —We regret to state ( hat a very atrocious case has just occurred at Roihesay . Early in the present month a respectable young female from Hamilton took up her residence in Rothesay , for the benefit of her health , as many persons from all parts of the kingdom have done before her . In taking her quiet and solitary walks , she was accosted by an individual who turns out to be Mr . John Macmillan , a master upholsterer , and no inconsiderable personage in Rothesay , connected with the Free Church , one of Us aspiring deacons , ready written , and distributor of Free tracts ; and , without going into further details , this Macmillan struck down the poor sickly defenceless girl , and committed a foul rape on her person . Her groans
and cries were heard at a distance , and she waa found besmeared with blood and carried to Rothesay . The villain himself attempted to escape , or to disguise himself with the coolest effrontery in his own dwell ing ; but the girl ' s friends , hearing of her brutal treatment , came to Rothesay , and compelled the authorities to seize him . He is now in Rothesay gaol on a warrant , at the instance of the Procurator Fiscal . ¦ The Sheriff Depute arrived from Edinburgh on Monday , and the proceedings will , ofcowraei be reported to and followed up by the Crown agent , at tbe instance of the Lord Advocate . What adds to the atrocity of this case is , that besides wearing the mask of religion , the alleged cnlprit is a married man , with several children . —5 coteA Reformers Gazette .
Enlisting Appbbmticbs . —At the Police Court , on Thursday last , a young man , of the name of Charles Morton , an apprentice to Messrs . Burnup , coach makers , was charged with enlisting in the Royal Artillery . Mr . Stoker appeared on behalf Captain Wood , tbe commanding officer of tbe regiment , to enforce the validity of the enlistment , on the ground that the apprentice signed his indenture after fourteen years of age ; the mutiny act setting forth that an apprentice enlisting under such circumstances could be duly enlisted for the army ; and , in consequence , that the masters claim waa void . The facts ¦ vvereborne outiby the evidence , and the bench , in acquiescing in the view of the law laid down by Mr . Stoker , dismissed the charge , thereby confirming the enlistment . —Newcastle Journal .
Matrimonial IIoax . —A matrimonial hoax has , it appeals , been played off at Stony Stratford , where Bfitne mischief loving people replied to an advertisement which appeared in a Sunday paper , and after a long correspondence , induced the wife and fortunehunting advertiser to parade himself in the town in tbo hope of meeting his supposed lady correspondent . A letter from tho neighbourhood thus describes the denouement : — " Somewhat nervous did the princi * pals in the affair feel when , about nine o ' clock , the v saw standing at tbe ball door of the hotel their correspondent personated by a rather gigantic figure , at least six feet one inch high , of very muscular frame , and with a mien and appearance calculated to bear out a sentence in one of his letter , ' that he never in his life submitted to an insult from a gentleman . '
However , there he whs , there they had called him ; and they ( however falsely ) expressed to each other their intense happiness at seeing him , though at a little distance . Bveakfast over , with brandy before and after the repast , to stimulate him , the gentleman made a circuit of the town to reconnoitre , after which the hour being at hand , he proceeded to the place appointed for meeting . This was on the road from the town to the railway station , from whence , if by any fortuitous occurrence the lady was prevented meeting him , he was to repair to the'house of her milliner , where she would await him . Having shown himself on the promenade for two hours , during which time he was watched and passed occasionally by the promoters Of the hoax , the hero proceeded to the house of tho milliners who , not be \ ng in the stcret , of course knew nothing ol aiw lady navinr made an
&ppo \ nlment at her house . Suspicions now flashed upon him , He made the post office his next call , to inquire who had beeu in tbe habit of sending for the letters address there , when the port mistress told all she could of the mysterious correspondence Then the gentlemen ' s iro boiled over , then he betook himself to brandy , and after that to the suspected parties , threatening the ventreance of the law , at ? d the aid ot the police , if the writer and the letters wero not given up . He was only langlicd at , although each person applied to repudiated the authorship of any correspondence with him . By this time the affair was all over the town ; the place became ovenvarm tor him ; his acquaintances were too numerous and disagreeable , and lie was glad to avoid them , which , he did , bv leaving by the next omnibus , threatening that the Post Office authorities , and all parties suspected , should hear of him again , and speedily .
