[Concluded.J "Becver thus, ami thy socrct is safe. Sit down and I will tell thee now what design 1 have in view. First, thou must know that Arabella Ravonscourt is daughter to my once lord and master. Many, many long years since, I Baron Ravenseourt rendered me a iitvor, which,) on the altar of God, I solemnly vowed should ! never be forgotten, and should be returned,; though it cost my life. The timo for returning that favor has now arrived. Baron Ruvens- coutl has died; yet his daughter, Arahella, lives, and to her will I return it, by endeavor- j ing to preserve bar life from an ignorninous death! The day, nay within the hour, thatsig- ] tial service was done mo, an humiliating, de- grading act was committed on tho corpso of my .brother, by Herbert St. Lacy. And Ihcn I swore to be revenged on his cowardly heart: and to fulfil those two oaths has Rose Red- wood tarried thus long in the world. Herbert St. Lacy's death I wish, but it inust bo done by his own hand! and this is my scheme. You, Bernard, are acquainted?intimate with Her- bert St. Lacy; you must entice him to gamble ?play deep, win every dollar lie possesses?- gain possession of all he is worth?entice him to forge ?and when you have liini thus far in your power, threaten to discfose all?goad him on to madness, and do not let him rest, till lie takes his own accursed life! 1 la! ha! and then ?then will I rest in peace. Succeed in this, Bernard D'Vill, and 1, Rose Redwood, will be your slave! ?will lick the very dust you tread on! But play mo false, and your own blood shall atone. 1 would not rest till your warm blood I drained from every vein in your body!" As she proceeded in her fiendish plot, every muscle in her body vibrated; the veins stood out upon her forehead like cords, her eyes swelled in their sockets and seemed to shoot forth living fire. "Wilt acquiesc, Bernard?" "It shall be done; but the?" "1 understand; you shall have pay!" And extending her hand above her head, she re- moved a stone, drew forth from tho crevico a \u25a0mail bag of money, and, witli a look of dis- gust, threw it at D'Vill's feet. "Hence now, j but remember\u25a0!" she said, motioning her hand towards the mouth o( (lie caec. Huiriedly he quitted the cave, and directed ' Ins steps towards the dislunt town; as ho issued . forth the wind bore to his ear the omnious! sound of a bell, whose notes oualed high above t'he storm the hour of one! \u2713 CHiPTER 111. ?THE SUICIDE. "I cull upon thee! ami compel Tliyself to be thy proper hell!" [BTRO.I. The lovely moon shono full upon the silent ity of fair London; not a single ind cation of life could bo discovered, save the measured cry of the guardian of tho night, whose deep tones echoed along the deserted streets. A silence vast and profound brooded over that mighty city: it seemed as ifall were wrapped in a calm, holy repose. But who can tell what scenes wore occurring at the midnight orgies, or what dark-stained crimes were being enacted beneath the misty veil of night! Presently, t is distant sound of a bell floatod upon the niglil-air. Another and anolhe ? now pealed forth their startling ehbuos, and then tho awful cry of "Fine!" shot 1ilce an electric flash through the city. It was echo- ed from north, south, oast and west; and r.oon were hoard the cries of ten thousand voices; and then catre thundering alo ig the heavy engines, followed by the tramp of a million footsteps, hurrying towards the scene o'* con- flagration. At the first alarm tho front window o r ' on i'llegant mansion, situate! in 13: rkly sp re, 'was thrown Violently tip ;iu! I in forms of two young man appealed. The cries of the !se- men, blended vv ill the roar of the flames, was borne iudivln.vt.y to their earfc, pud the dirk. 1 red light revealed tho flushed and agitated countenances bf Herbert St. Lacy and Bernard D'V ill. "Tush! Bernard,'tis nor a fire," said St. La- cy, with a look of disappointment, as lie placed bis arm within that of Bernard's, to return to the apartment they had just left. They traversed a superbly carpeted ball in silence, arriving at the termination of which Barnard, throwing open an elaborately malio- gony door, was ushered into a room richly and tastefully furnished, and filled with a soft, dreamy light. Tho festooned walls were hung with paint- ings of the most costly, hut demoralizing de- scription; lire ceiling was carved in elegant imi- tations of commemorated events, and boquels of rare exotics drooped in thick clusters to tho marble floor Fiom tha centre of tho room depended an immense chandelier, whose salur- nian rays were reflected by magnificent mir- rors, in one vast unbroken sheet of pure white- ness. Tho silvery rays of the moon streamed through the folds of red silk curtains, and add- | ed, ifpossible, additional beauty to tho gorgc- ous scene. Fascinating, enchanting was all; j hut in everything lurked fascinating poison, which once touched, once beheld drew its fatal meshes around its unsuspecting victim, and plunged him in the datk abyss! This, rea- der?this inviting spot was a?FASHIONABLE | HELL ! | As Horbert and D'Vill entered, a little man, j with a dark Portuguese visage, advanced to 'their side. Ho wore his black hair in long i curls upon his shoulders and cheeks, and in his I ! oars were heavy gold rings. His features were j sma 11, hut expressive of the strongest passions |ofevil. Avarice burned iu his shining eyes, 1 and was legibly stamped upon his thin lips.? | His smiled pleasantly as he recognized his vi- i j si tors, and inquired with a bow of respect,! "Private room?" "Cards, and liquor, drugged!" replied Ber- nard, in a voice inaudible to Herbert; and then with a step that denoted he was no stranger, 1 followed tiie man to a room contiguous to the j one which they intend, j Before a small table sat Herbert St. Lacy land Bernard D'Vill; on which lay'a confused i heap of gold and papers. The lamp threw its | beams over the countenance of Herbert stamp- ed with unutterable woe; pale and haggard; his j ( glassy eyes were almost startled from their j , sockets as he glared full upon the cards he I jgrasped in liis hand; his breath eatne thick and j gaspingly, as he convulsively arose from his j seat on the point of throwing his last card. "'Tisdone! 'tis done!" ejaeqjated Herbert, as lie threw ids card upon the table. : "Lost! all?lost!" burst from the lips of Be.r- --i xiard, as ho seized the pile of gold?his lips curled with a scornful smile?lie staggered, slowly regained himself, and then mechanical- ly articulated, "Lost?lost!" Tho sound ol his voice awoke him as it wore, from a trance; one hurried glance he cast upon the table, sud- denly started, and quick as the lightning's(lasb sprang upon the Gamester with a knife firmly grapsod in his hand! Swift and powerful was the stieke, and sank up to the haft through Bernard J)'Vill's heart! Again ho drew forth the leekiiig blade and punged it into iiis bosom! In one red stream gushed tho life blood forth, and in a brief moment his body lay a cold, life- less corps weltering in its own blood! The murderer, with a firm and composed step passed through the room they first enter- ed and, casting a fugitive glance upon its in- mates deeply engaged in play, issued out upon the street. He raised his hand to his feverish brow, throw back the hair from his burning temples, and, permitting his head to droop up- on his bosom, hurried along?he cared not whither! The heavy tramp of footsteps now eclioed through the street; thoy struck upon his ear, and with the guilt of a murderer, he sped along with supernatural speed. More | distinctly and nearer came tiie sounds, he glanced behind and beheld the form of a man pursuing him; again he fled with the velocity of the wind. At length his energies failed him?his speed relaxed?his breath became suspended, arid sinking upon his knees, he raised his haggard features towards heaven!? As he did so he caught a glimpse of the Thames, tho dark waters roiling in sullen si- lence! With a joyful cry he sprang to his feet, and in a moment stood on its batik! He paus- i ed; his features were lit up with a fcmilo of tri-l umph, and Ire waited calmly until his pursuror| reached Iris tide. "My lord"?gasped the man?"my?my lord?the house is burnt to the ground, and your wife is nearly dead!" "Ha, what of her? dead, didst thou say?- dead! 1 ' "No, my lor J, but nearly murdered!" said the man, involuntarily shrinking back from the wild glare ofhis master's eyes. "Murdered! who speaks of murder? Ila! j ha! away?away!" he shouted, seizing the I man by the shoulder at.d striking him with I his clenched hand. The poor man staggered back for a moment, unable to restrain Her- | bert from springing into the Thames. The 1 dull heavy splash old the dreadful tale; un- i hesitatingly the rr. in sprang in to save his | master's life by risking his own! And long I and nobly did he endeavor to preserve his | life; but it waß all in vain, and Herbert St. : Lacy found a grave in tho gloomy waters of j tliti Thames! The heavy tongue of St. Paul tolled tho hour of one, and as its tones floated across the Thames, an old woman slowly approached the bank. "There remains but one, and then Rose Red- wood can die!" she murmured, and with feoblo stops departed. CHAPTER IV. ?THE RETROSPECTION. "befl Ihe dark veil of years behind?what waits? A human heart.? Vast cby, where reside All glories and all rilcnesses!" f Lore and Hatred, by * * * The stern, grey battlements of tho Castle of Do Rwhelle were clear and distinct in tho azure sky; tho golden ray. of the departing sun fell smilingly upon its massive walls, the sha- dows of which were darkly reflected upon the rnsliinr waters of the riven Avon. The musi- cal tin .lings of a shophcrd's bull aioso gently from tho valley beneath, as its notes blended with tho vespers, were waited upon theevon- i.ig bronze. Too mciry sounds of life in ihoi ?i.iicy grad.tally subside Jto rpiioluea-; ami as' l! a shades in uvo I igt't to thicken, a man j i eating the noble badgt of tin liouw of Ra-, v ?nseourt, mounted tie battlo.ncifs.nnd wiilii measured steps yuucJ llti wall. Ho glares d ( carclcs;ly ip to Uto Inuveas, and an jjivolun-, tary exclamation of surprise broko from his lips, as he beheld dark clouds gather rapidly on the western horizon. At an interval of a few seconds the roar of thunder reverberated through the arches of the heavens?now sinking, now exalting its fear- ful tones, llio lightning darting like a fiery | snake through the black clouds, with such , mighty vividness that the whole earth became one vast sheet of vivid light! The rain poured down in torrents that swelled nils and brooks to mighty rivers, and the angry waters came rushing down the mountain's sides, terrifically marking its course with destiuetien. Sudden- ly the storm ceased, and all was hushed and calm. The man upon the battlement arose and gazed lorth upon tho troubled sky. lie had advanced hut a few steps when an awful clap of thunder shook the earth, and he fella blackened corpse. As tho report spread abroad, the Castle and Valley became one scene of animation?crowds of people rushed to its gates, and with loud cries desired an en- trance. Within the court stood a file of men- at-arms, awaiting anxiously an explanation of I the occurrence. At length tho corpso was \u25a0 laid upon a rude hier in the centre of the j court. At the same instant the gates gave way, I and the mass poured in. Acry, a universal cry of horror burst from the aghast multitude, and ali sank back appalled at the sight.? 1 A dreadful silence ensued, and one by one' they retired with lowered heads and sorrowful j hearts. The court was unoccupied, save by tho men- j at-arms, and Ilaron Ravcnscourt and daugh- | tor, who with mournful hearts clustered around j tiio bier. "Hugo!" said Baron llavcnsrourt, in a voico j of forced calmness?"Hugo have tho corpse in- i terred, andjrequcst his poor sister?" His words were drowned in a prolonged agonizing shriek, it shot through the heart like an ice holt, the blood ran eold in their veins, and their hearts sank within them! I'ale and speechless thoy reeled back to permit a female to approach, who, with outstretched arms and livid visage tottered up to the hier. Sob after sob rent the air as those men of war beheld that poor, friendless creature sink upon the earthly re- mains of her brother and only protector in the wide world! Tho scalding tears course down her checks. The utter hopelessness of her si- tuation rushed with overwhelming force upon her; and she fell hack motionless! Baron Ra- vcnscourt stepped forward to remove her from the remains on which she had fallen, when i she recoiled from his gentle touch and pressed j still closer thereon. "Toss her oft'!" cried a young man, who just then issued from the castle?"she is but low born! away with her!" "Hold! let one dare lay the weight of his finger upon that girl, and lie dies!" cried Baron Ravcnscourt, striding np to the bier with un- sheathed sword. "Who is it that dares com- mand thus? Speak! who is it!" lie continued, his face turning to a look of stern inquiry as bo gazed angrily around. "Pardon, my lord, 'twas 1, Herbert St. La- cy," said theyoung man, approaching arid fall- ing on his knees. "Herbert St. Lacy," said the girl, in a slow and distinct voice?"beware! those words shall bo cherished, and woo be unto you when my day of reckoning comes!" and she raised her eyes to heaven whilst her lips parted in silent prayer. "Arabella, 1 pray thee see to this bereaved child," said tho Baron to his daughter. "Come Bosa, my daughter will comfort thee; I will have thy brother's remains interred as thou wishest! Go, Rosa?go!" "God in Heaven bless thee, Baron Ravens- court! This unlocked for kindness is indeed balm lo r.ty wounded heart, and it shall be re- paid to tlieo or thine, if Rosa Redwood tarries unnumbered years to return it! May Heaven bless thee!" and then rising she accompanied Arabella llavenscourt to tho Castle. "Stand rcpioved, Herbert St. Lacy, for thy words and treatment of that friendless crea- ture! And, though thou art son to my dear sister, I proclaim it before all, that I brand thee us a heartless malapert!" said the indignant Baron, passing the young aiau with a look of ineffable scorn. "Now by all tho Gods in Heaven and earth, this is too much to be thus spoken to for this heap!" cried Herbert St. Lacy, spurning the corpso with his foot. "O God! O God!" shrieked Rosa Redwood as sho beheld the sacrilogious act: with a sin- gle bound she cleared the court, and pausing before Herbert St. Lacy, clasped her hands and cried? : "As I hope for salvation, Herbert St. Lacy, ' your heart's blood must wash out that stain!? Though low born, thou shalt know to thy sor- row that 1 can cherish revenge! Beware of Rosa Redwood." And before an effort could bo made to detain her she rushed past the men at arms, and an instant after was lost ill the shadows of night. Herbert St. Lacy stood transfixed to tho earth; he felt that her oath would bo lulfillod, but in what manner he was unable to surmise. Little knew the rash young man what misery his rash words and indiscreet uct would subject hirn to. CHAPTER T. ?THE IMP ANTIC HIE. "Oil may it ever suirid alone accurst, The last of murders, as it is the worst." [George I.iUo. Towards the hour of three, on a damp foggy morning, in a cold, scantily furnished room sat Arabella St. Lacy; she crouched down upon the cold hearth, and stared vacantly around as she mechanically rocked the starving infant, which clung with death-like tenacity to her breast. The little sufferer raised its emaciated arms and looked imploringly upon its mother, ?.s its parched lips parted from burning thirst; it rolled uneasily from Bide to side, a low moan over and anon escaping it as it endured the pangs of hunger, its breath came ha -d and gasping- ly, and its little hand was entwined around its hair, whilst Ike other was forced down its mouth, and ground betwoen its toothless gums fiom very excess of hunger. The mother beheld her child's sufferings with tearless eyes, for the fountain of grief' was long since exhausted; she placed it to the breast, but sustenance had not passed the lips of the mo- tlier for eight and forty hours, and the infant sac . back, whilst hot scalding tears rolled down tho hollow checks of tli.it child, scarce six mon'bs oiu! The oh.li wind swept through the oruvices ui the dilapidated building, and cut to tho very bone the almost nude frames of mo- ther and child: she prerml her babe to her bo- DAILY TO THE SOUTH, RY THY.

Her wondering gaze fell upon a stale crust of bread which lay upon the floor; gladly, thankinlly she seized it, and with a smilo even lor that crust which a dog would have passed untested, she placed it in her babe's mouth! Alas! poor?poor Arabella! why wert thou thus situated?thou who wert once the thcine and admiration of tho opulent and indigent, courted and beloved by all?to be thus in a fil- thy kennel, thy babe arid self starving, whilst rich and powerful friends surrounded thee?no one to sooth tiiv troubled spirit?no one to oft'er tliee food to relieve thy hunger or drink to slake thy thirst?cast forth friendless and hope- less! Alas! a stigma hud come upon thy hith- erto radiant name, and for that thy friends ? nay, even pa rents, cast tlice from them, drove thee front their doors with curses, and assailed thy ears with the harsh epithet ofsuicide's wife! She arose from her seat, and placing the struggling babe upon tho floor, paced the room j with agitated steps. Her eye suddenly lighted i up with unnatural fire?tho hues of health mantled over her haggard cheeks, and throw- j ing a tattered shawl over her shouldeis, she j quitted the apartment! Five?ton minutes c- ! lapsed, but still she returned riot; at length a I tottering step sounded along the deserted street, j and an instant after Arabella St. Lacy entering, I burst into a convulsive frenzy, that told tool plainly the anguish that liarrassed her soul! "'Tis too much! 'tis too much!" she moan-j ed, grasping her raven tresses frantically. "It j must be done?it shall be.done'." and starting! from the chair, she again paced the room in the wildest excitement. She paused suddenly, and j crouching down upon tho floor, noiselessly ap- \ preached her dying child. With a loud and i piercing cry that shook the house, sho leaped j upon the infant, and her long fingers wore j clasped around its neck! With almost super-j natural strength she pressed its throat, until j the veins stood out like cords upon its brow?- and then, like a dream, its spirit passed away! ' A lutid knock reverberated through the room, j and ere it bad subsided the door v.as thrown open, and a man entered; he cast a single glance i upon the corpse, and then rudely grasping Ar- i abella's shoulder, drew forth from his pocket a pair of manacles, and whispering in her ears: "You aro my prisoner!" led her unresistingly away! * * * * * To detail at length the sufferings which Ara- bella was doomed to endure would occupy too much space, anil might not interest tho reader; it will be sufficient, therefore, to state that Ar- abella suffered tho ignominious death which Rosa Rcdvt ood endeavored to uvort. Of Rosa Redwood nothing to this day has since been dis- covered, but it is supposed that sho still wan- ders tho forest! Business and Commerce of Wilmington, N. C. It appears that Wilmington, in North Carolina, is a place of more business than is generally supposed. Tiie Philadelphia North American says: Its population exceeds 8000 sou's. It has nine steam saw mills, running 180 saws, which cut annually 30,000,000 feet of lumber, valued at $300,000. Several of these establishments have planing mills attached; and it is estimat- ed that SOOO,OOO arc annually expended at this j place iu the manufacture of lumber alone.? Wilmington has also elcvon turpentine distiile- | ries, running 34 stills, which consume annually ! 230,000 barrels of crude turpentine, valued at j $500,000. It is estimated that $300,000 is em- ployed in tho manufacture of spirits of turpen- tine. There aie annually shipped from the city, of tar, 30,000 barrels; rice, 150,000 bush- els; staves and shingles, $300,000; and large 1 quantities of tobacco, cotton, flaxseed, bees- \ wax, manufactured cotton goods, &e. At tins i time there is about being established an exten- j sive cotton manufactory there, which, as well j as every indication of manufacturing enterprise j in the South, is to be regarded as a sign of pro- I misc. We heard yesterday of the purchase of 80,- i 000 barrels of turpentine from the Wilmington manufacturers, in one day, in consequence of the anticipated Sudden rise in the price of that j commodity. J DESTRUCTIVE FIRES. The Spinning factory ) of John Webber & Son, at Roxburg, Mass., with all its valuable machinery and contents, was destroyed by fire on Thursday night.? Loss $25,000, and but little insurance. The Cotton factory of Charles Richmond, at Taun- ton, Mass., was consumed on Thursday. Loss SIO,OOO, and only one-half insured. At i Eastport, Me., a whole block of stores, valued i at $12,000, were consumed on Wednesday. At Boston, a large brick building on Sum- mer-st., owned by L. Thorndike, of Salem, was j destroyed with its contents. The basement i story was occupied by a Mr. Merrill, as a Res- j tauraleur, the first floor by Mr. W. Osgood, dry ! good dealer, and the upper stories by Mrs. I Taylor as a boarding house, and by Mr. Geo. j W. Johnson. Insurance on the building S2OOO. Mr. Taylor was also insured. A woollen, j pale and chair factory at Union villiage, N. Y. was consumed on Saturday night. RAILROAD FROM HALIFAX TO QUEBEC. A project has been started in Canada for the con- struction of a railroad between Halifax and Quebec, 'i he extent of tho contemplated road is six hundred miles. The estimated cost varies from .£,(,500,000 to -£5,000,000 sterling, or, in round numbers, from fifteen millions to tioenty- ttco millions of dollars. It is urged in favor of tho project, that besides facilitating commercial intercourse, it will have an important effect in addiig to the security of the Provinces as a part of the Rritish empire.

The harp ot the minstrel in silence reposes,II wakes noi to tuirilras so often of yore;

The hand that one wreath it it with fresh leaves androses,

C&nctirils mule chords r; .w to music no more.

Far down yon gret \u25a0 vale the lone weepiwg willow,When the vmce of Hie low wind iswhisperingnigli,

fondly bends down imgrey penciled boughs o'er hispillow,

To kiss the green turf where the minstrel doth lie.

In the bower of love that was lit up with gladness,Now darkness siu brooding with sullen control;

dud the forest and grove wear a seeming of sadness,For griefs hovering wing is o'ersliading the whols,

Willnot beauty go thither with a tiibutc of sorrow?And the heart so oil ravished by minsliclsy'sstrain.

W.l! bright eyes not plead for sojie. hopeless 10-iuoi-row?

When the harp of the minstrel shall waken again?

Oh: Bc.y, willnot friendship, whose link has been bro-Kon,

Where tha crushW flower's odutrs like incenseariae;

<Ag to seek, and to cherish, with the heart's hallov. 'dtoken,

A tear uudisscmbling, the spot where he lies.

Wow Cynthia looks down from her bright throne de- :jected,

And breathes her sad tale to each listening flower;.Ht.e spreads her bright mantle o'er his slumbers ne-

glected,And returns to lament liiniin eve's tranquil hour.

Let the harp ofjSolus breathe a requiem o'er hiui,Let the rivulet murmur a dirg" at his side;

And, oh! may the zrpiiyrsigh unceasingly o'er him, ;And the brook constant murmur 'till its fountain be

dried.

The minstrel has gone where the sainted arc dwell-1ing,He leans o'er his harp that Archangels have strung; IIn the halls of his father the antli mis swelling, |Whilst the hlcsse* rejoice as itmelts from his tongue, j

"Becver thus, ami thy socrct is safe. Sitdown and I will tell thee now what design 1have in view. First, thou must know thatArabella Ravonscourt is daughter to my oncelord and master. Many, many long years since, IBaron Ravenseourt rendered me a iitvor, which,)on the altar of God, I solemnly vowed should !never be forgotten, and should be returned,;though it cost my life. The timo for returningthat favor has now arrived. Baron Ruvens-coutl has died; yet his daughter, Arahella,lives, and to her will I return it, by endeavor- jing to preserve bar life from an ignorninousdeath! The day, nay within the hour, thatsig- ]tial service was done mo, an humiliating, de-grading act was committed on tho corpso of my

.brother, by Herbert St. Lacy. And Ihcn Iswore to be revenged on his cowardly heart:and to fulfil those two oaths has Rose Red-wood tarried thus long in the world. HerbertSt. Lacy's death I wish, but it inust bo done byhis own hand! and this is my scheme. You,Bernard, are acquainted?intimate with Her-bert St. Lacy; you must entice him to gamble?play deep, win every dollar lie possesses?-gain possession of all he is worth?entice himto forge ?and when you have liini thus far inyour power, threaten to discfose all?goad himon to madness, and do not let him rest, till lietakes his own accursed life! 1 la! ha! and then?then will I rest in peace. Succeed in this,Bernard D'Vill, and 1, Rose Redwood, will beyour slave! ?will lick the very dust you treadon! But play mo false, and your own bloodshall atone. 1 would not rest till your warmblood I drained from every vein in your body!"

As she proceeded in her fiendish plot, everymuscle in her body vibrated; the veins stoodout upon her forehead like cords, her eyesswelled in their sockets and seemed to shootforth living fire.

"Wilt acquiesc, Bernard?""Itshall be done; but the?""1 understand; you shall have pay!" And

extending her hand above her head, she re-moved a stone, drew forth from tho crevico a\u25a0mail bag of money, and, witli a look of dis-gust, threw it at D'Vill's feet. "Hence now, jbut remember\u25a0!" she said, motioning her handtowards the mouth o( (lie caec.

[BTRO.I.

The lovely moon shono full upon the silentity of fair London; not a single ind cation oflife could bo discovered, save the measured cryof the guardian of tho night, whose deep tonesechoed along the deserted streets. A silencevast and profound brooded over that mightycity: it seemed as ifall were wrapped in a calm,holy repose. But who can tell what sceneswore occurring at the midnight orgies, or whatdark-stained crimes were being enacted beneaththe misty veil ofnight!

Presently, t is distant sound of a bell floatodupon the niglil-air. Another and anolhe ?now pealed forth their startling ehbuos, andthen tho awful cry of "Fine!" shot 1ilce anelectric flash through the city. It was echo-ed from north, south, oast and west; and r.oonwere hoard the cries of ten thousand voices;

and then catre thundering alo ig the heavyengines, followed by the tramp of a millionfootsteps, hurrying towards the scene o'* con-flagration.

At the first alarm tho front window o r'

oni'llegant mansion, situate! in 13: rkly sp re,'was thrown Violently tip ;iu! I in forms of twoyoung man appealed. The cries of the !se-men, blended vv ill the roar of the flames, wasborne iudivln.vt.y to their earfc, pud the dirk. 1

red light revealed tho flushed and agitatedcountenances bf Herbert St. Lacy and BernardD'V ill.

"Tush! Bernard,'tis nor a fire," said St. La-cy, with a look of disappointment, as lie placedbis arm within that of Bernard's, to return tothe apartment they had just left.

They traversed a superbly carpeted ball insilence, arriving at the termination of whichBarnard, throwing open an elaborately malio-gony door, was ushered into a room richly andtastefully furnished, and filled with a soft,dreamy light.

Tho festooned walls were hung with paint-ings of the most costly, hut demoralizing de-scription; lire ceiling was carved in elegant imi-tations of commemorated events, and boquelsof rare exotics drooped in thick clusters to thomarble floor Fiom tha centre of tho roomdepended an immense chandelier, whose salur-nian rays were reflected by magnificent mir-rors, in one vast unbroken sheet of pure white-ness. Tho silvery rays of the moon streamedthrough the folds of red silk curtains, and add-

| ed, ifpossible, additional beauty to tho gorgc-ous scene. Fascinating, enchanting was all;

j hut in everything lurked fascinating poison,which once touched, once beheld drew its fatalmeshes around its unsuspecting victim, andplunged him in the datk abyss! This, rea-der?this inviting spot was a?FASHIONABLE

| HELL !

| As Horbert and D'Vill entered, a little man,j with a dark Portuguese visage, advanced to'their side. Ho wore his black hair in long

i curls upon his shoulders and cheeks, and in his I! oars were heavy gold rings. His features were

j sma 11, hut expressive of the strongest passions|ofevil. Avarice burned iu his shining eyes,

1 and was legibly stamped upon his thin lips.?| His smiled pleasantly as he recognized his vi-i

j si tors, and inquired with a bow of respect,!"Private room?"

"Cards, and liquor, drugged!" replied Ber-nard, in a voice inaudible to Herbert; and thenwith a step that denoted he was no stranger,

1 followed tiie man to a room contiguous to thej one which they intend,j Before a small table sat Herbert St. Lacyland Bernard D'Vill; on which lay'a confusedi heap of gold and papers. The lamp threw its| beams over the countenance of Herbert stamp-ed with unutterable woe; pale and haggard; his j

( glassy eyes were almost startled from their j, sockets as he glared full upon the cards he Ijgrasped in liis hand; his breath eatne thick and jgaspingly, as he convulsively arose from his jseat on the point of throwing his last card.

"'Tisdone! 'tis done!" ejaeqjated Herbert,as lie threw ids card upon the table.

: "Lost! all?lost!" burst from the lips of Be.r---i xiard, as ho seized the pile of gold?his lipscurled with a scornful smile?lie staggered,slowly regained himself, and then mechanical-ly articulated, "Lost?lost!" Tho sound olhis voice awoke him as it wore, from a trance;one hurried glance he cast upon the table, sud-denly started, and quick as the lightning's(lasbsprang upon the Gamester with a knife firmlygrapsod in his hand! Swift and powerful wasthe stieke, and sank up to the haft throughBernard J)'Vill's heart! Again ho drew forththe leekiiig blade and punged it into iiis bosom!In one red stream gushed tho life blood forth,and in a brief moment his body lay a cold, life-less corps weltering in its own blood!

The murderer, with a firm and composedstep passed through the room they first enter-ed and, casting a fugitive glance upon its in-mates deeply engaged in play, issued out uponthe street. He raised his hand to his feverishbrow, throw back the hair from his burningtemples, and, permitting his head to droop up-on his bosom, hurried along?he cared notwhither! The heavy tramp of footsteps noweclioed through the street; thoy struck uponhis ear, and with the guilt of a murderer, hesped along with supernatural speed. More |distinctly and nearer came tiie sounds, heglanced behind and beheld the form of a manpursuing him; again he fled with the velocityof the wind. At length his energies failedhim?his speed relaxed?his breath becamesuspended, arid sinking upon his knees, heraised his haggard features towards heaven!?As he did so he caught a glimpse of theThames, tho dark waters roiling in sullen si-lence! With a joyfulcry he sprang to his feet,and in a moment stood on its batik! He paus- ied; his features were lit up with a fcmilo of tri-lumph, and Ire waited calmly until his pursuror|reached Iris tide.

"My lord"?gasped the man?"my?mylord?the house is burnt to the ground, andyour wife is nearly dead!"

"Ha, what of her? dead, didst thou say?-dead! 1 '

"No, my lorJ, but nearly murdered!" saidthe man, involuntarily shrinking back from thewild glare ofhis master's eyes.

"Murdered! who speaks of murder? Ila!j ha! away?away!" he shouted, seizing the

I man by the shoulder at.d striking him with

I his clenched hand. The poor man staggeredback for a moment, unable to restrain Her-

| bert from springing into the Thames. The1 dull heavy splash old the dreadful tale; un-

i hesitatingly the rr. in sprang in to save his| master's life by risking his own! And longI and nobly did he endeavor to preserve his| life; but it waß all in vain, and Herbert St.

: Lacy found a grave in tho gloomy waters ofj tliti Thames!

The heavy tongue of St. Paul tolled thohour of one, and as its tones floated across theThames, an old woman slowly approached thebank.

"There remains but one, and then Rose Red-wood can die!" she murmured, and with feoblostops departed.

fLore and Hatred, by * * *

The stern, grey battlements of tho Castle ofDo Rwhelle were clear and distinct in thoazure sky; tho golden ray. ofthe departing sunfell smilingly upon its massive walls, the sha-dows of which were darkly reflected upon thernsliinr waters of the riven Avon. The musi-cal tin .lings of a shophcrd's bull aioso gentlyfrom tho valley beneath, as its notes blendedwith tho vespers, were waited upon theevon-i.igbronze. Too mciry sounds of life in ihoi?i.iicy grad.tally subside Jto rpiioluea-; ami as'

l! a shades in uvo Iigt't to thicken, a man ji eating the noble badgt of tin liouw of Ra-,v ?nseourt, mounted tie battlo.ncifs.nnd wiiliimeasured steps yuucJ llti wall. Ho glares d (carclcs;ly ip to Uto Inuveas, and an jjivolun-,

tary exclamation of surprise broko from hislips, as he beheld dark clouds gather rapidly onthe western horizon.

At an interval of a few seconds the roar ofthunder reverberated through the arches of theheavens?now sinking, now exalting its fear-ful tones, llio lightning darting like a fiery

| snake through the black clouds, with such, mighty vividness that the whole earth becameone vast sheet of vivid light! The rain poureddown in torrents that swelled nils and brooksto mighty rivers, and the angry waters camerushing down the mountain's sides, terrificallymarking its course with destiuetien. Sudden-ly the storm ceased, and all was hushed andcalm. The man upon the battlement aroseand gazed lorth upon tho troubled sky. liehad advanced hut a few steps when an awfulclap of thunder shook the earth, and he fellablackened corpse. As tho report spreadabroad, the Castle and Valley became onescene of animation?crowds of people rushedto its gates, and with loud cries desired an en-trance. Within the court stood a file of men-at-arms, awaiting anxiously an explanation of

I the occurrence. At length tho corpso was\u25a0 laid upon a rude hier in the centre of the

j court. At the same instant the gates gave way,I and the mass poured in. Acry, a universalcry of horror burst from the aghast multitude,and ali sank back appalled at the sight.? 1A dreadful silence ensued, and one by one'they retired with lowered heads and sorrowful jhearts.

The court was unoccupied, save by tho men- jat-arms, and Ilaron Ravcnscourt and daugh- |tor, who with mournful hearts clustered around jtiio bier.

"Hugo!" said Baron llavcnsrourt, in a voico jof forced calmness?"Hugo have tho corpse in- iterred, andjrequcst his poor sister?" His wordswere drowned in a prolonged agonizing shriek,it shot through the heart like an ice holt, theblood ran eold in their veins, and their heartssank within them! I'ale and speechless thoyreeled back to permit a female to approach,who, with outstretched arms and livid visagetottered up to the hier. Sob after sob rent theair as those men of war beheld that poor,friendless creature sink upon the earthly re-mains of her brother and only protector in thewide world! Tho scalding tears course downher checks. The utter hopelessness of her si-tuation rushed with overwhelming force uponher; and she fell hack motionless! Baron Ra-vcnscourt stepped forward to remove her fromthe remains on which she had fallen, when ishe recoiled from his gentle touch and pressed jstill closer thereon.

"Toss her oft'!" cried a young man, who justthen issued from the castle?"she is but lowborn! away with her!"

"Hold! let one dare lay the weight of hisfinger upon that girl, and lie dies!" cried BaronRavcnscourt, striding np to the bier with un-sheathed sword. "Who is it that dares com-mand thus? Speak! who is it!" lie continued,his face turning to a look of stern inquiry as bogazed angrily around.

"Pardon, my lord, 'twas 1, Herbert St. La-cy," said theyoung man, approaching arid fall-ing on his knees.

"Herbert St. Lacy," said the girl, in a slowand distinct voice?"beware! those words shallbo cherished, and woo be unto you when myday of reckoning comes!" and she raised hereyes to heaven whilst her lips parted in silentprayer.

"Arabella, 1 pray thee see to this bereavedchild," said tho Baron to his daughter. "ComeBosa, my daughter will comfort thee; I willhave thy brother's remains interred as thouwishest! Go, Rosa?go!"

"God in Heaven bless thee, Baron Ravens-court! This unlocked for kindness is indeedbalm lo r.ty wounded heart, and it shall be re-paid to tlieo or thine, if Rosa Redwood tarriesunnumbered years to return it! May Heavenbless thee!" and then rising she accompaniedArabella llavenscourt to tho Castle.

"Stand rcpioved, Herbert St. Lacy, for thywords and treatment of that friendless crea-ture! And, though thou art son to my dearsister, I proclaim it before all, that I brand theeus a heartless malapert!" said the indignantBaron, passing the young aiau with a look ofineffable scorn.

"Now by all tho Gods in Heaven and earth,this is too much to be thus spoken to for thisheap!" cried Herbert St. Lacy, spurning thecorpso with his foot.

"O God! O God!" shrieked Rosa Redwoodas sho beheld the sacrilogious act: with a sin-gle bound she cleared the court, and pausingbefore Herbert St. Lacy, clasped her hands andcried?

: "As I hope for salvation, Herbert St. Lacy,' your heart's blood must wash out that stain!?Though low born, thou shalt know to thy sor-row that 1 can cherish revenge! Beware ofRosa Redwood." And before an effort couldbo made to detain her she rushed past the menat arms, and an instant after was lost ill theshadows of night. Herbert St. Lacy stoodtransfixed to tho earth; he felt that her oathwould bo lulfillod, but in what manner he wasunable to surmise. Little knew the rash youngman what misery his rash words and indiscreetuct would subject hirn to.

CHAPTER T. ?THE IMPANTIC HIE.

"Oil may it ever suirid alone accurst,The last of murders, as it is the worst."

[George I.iUo.Towards the hour of three, on a damp foggy

morning, in a cold, scantily furnished room satArabella St. Lacy; she crouched down uponthe cold hearth, and stared vacantly around asshe mechanically rocked the starving infant,which clung with death-like tenacity to herbreast. The little sufferer raised its emaciatedarms and looked imploringly upon its mother,?.s its parched lips parted from burning thirst;it rolled uneasily from Bide to side, a low moanover and anon escaping it as itendured the pangsof hunger, its breath came ha -d and gasping-ly, and its little hand was entwined around itshair, whilst Ike other was forced down itsmouth, and ground betwoen its toothless gumsfiom very excess of hunger.

The mother beheld her child's sufferings withtearless eyes, for the fountain of grief' was longsince exhausted; she placed it to the breast, butsustenance had not passed the lips of the mo-tlier for eight and forty hours, and the infantsac . back, whilst hot scalding tears rolled downtho hollow checks of tli.it child, scarce sixmon'bs oiu! The oh.li wind swept through theoruvices ui the dilapidated building, and cut totho very bone the almost nude frames of mo-ther and child: she prerml her babe to her bo-

so in and looked around for aught to alleviateits pains! Her wondering gaze fell upon a stalecrust ofbread which lay upon the floor; gladly,thankinlly she seized it, and with a smilo evenlor that crust which a dog would have passeduntested, she placed it in her babe's mouth!

Alas! poor?poor Arabella! why wert thouthus situated?thou who wert once the thcineand admiration of tho opulent and indigent,courted and beloved by all?to be thus in a fil-thy kennel, thy babe arid self starving, whilstrich and powerful friends surrounded thee?noone to sooth tiivtroubled spirit?no one to oft'ertliee food to relieve thy hunger or drink toslake thy thirst?cast forth friendless and hope-less! Alas! a stigma hud come upon thy hith-erto radiant name, and for that thy friends ?

nay, even pa rents, cast tlice from them, drovethee front their doors with curses, and assailedthy ears with the harsh epithet ofsuicide's wife!

She arose from her seat, and placing thestruggling babe upon tho floor, paced the room jwith agitated steps. Her eye suddenly lighted iup with unnatural fire?tho hues of healthmantled over her haggard cheeks, and throw- jing a tattered shawl over her shouldeis, she jquitted the apartment! Five?ton minutes c- !lapsed, but still she returned riot; at length a Itottering step sounded along the deserted street, jand an instant after Arabella St. Lacy entering, Iburst into a convulsive frenzy, that told toolplainly the anguish that liarrassed her soul!

"'Tis too much! 'tis too much!" she moan-jed, grasping her raven tresses frantically. "Itjmust be done?it shall be.done'." and starting!from the chair, she again paced the room in thewildest excitement. She paused suddenly, and jcrouching down upon tho floor, noiselessly ap- \preached her dying child. With a loud and ipiercing cry that shook the house, sho leaped jupon the infant, and her long fingers wore jclasped around its neck! With almost super-jnatural strength she pressed its throat, until jthe veins stood out like cords upon its brow?-and then, like a dream, its spirit passed away! '

A lutid knock reverberated through the room, jand ere it bad subsided the door v.as thrownopen, and a man entered; he cast a single glance iupon the corpse, and then rudely grasping Ar- iabella's shoulder, drew forth from his pocket apair of manacles, and whispering in her ears:"You aro my prisoner!" led her unresistinglyaway! * * * * *

To detail at length the sufferings which Ara-bella was doomed to endure would occupy toomuch space, anil might not interest tho reader;it will be sufficient, therefore, to state that Ar-abella suffered tho ignominious death whichRosa Rcdvt ood endeavored to uvort. Of RosaRedwood nothing to this day has since been dis-covered, but it is supposed that sho still wan-ders tho forest!

Business and Commerce of Wilmington,N. C. It appears that Wilmington, in NorthCarolina, is a place of more business than isgenerally supposed. Tiie Philadelphia NorthAmerican says:

Its population exceeds 8000 sou's. It hasnine steam saw mills, running 180 saws, whichcut annually 30,000,000 feet of lumber, valuedat $300,000. Several of these establishmentshave planing mills attached; and it is estimat-ed that SOOO,OOO arc annually expended at this jplace iu the manufacture of lumber alone.?Wilmington has also elcvon turpentine distiile- |

ries, running 34 stills, which consume annually !230,000 barrels of crude turpentine, valued at j$500,000. It is estimated that $300,000 is em-ployed in tho manufacture of spirits of turpen-tine. There aie annually shipped from thecity, of tar, 30,000 barrels; rice, 150,000 bush-els; staves and shingles, $300,000; and large 1quantities of tobacco, cotton, flaxseed, bees- \wax, manufactured cotton goods, &e. At tins itime there is about being established an exten- jsive cotton manufactory there, which, as well jas every indication of manufacturing enterprise jin the South, is to be regarded as a sign of pro- Imisc.

We heard yesterday of the purchase of 80,- i000 barrels of turpentine from the Wilmingtonmanufacturers, in one day, in consequence ofthe anticipated Sudden rise in the price of that

j commodity.

J DESTRUCTIVE FIRES. The Spinning factory) of John Webber & Son, at Roxburg, Mass.,with all its valuable machinery and contents,was destroyed by fire on Thursday night.?Loss $25,000, and but little insurance.

RAILROAD FROM HALIFAX TO QUEBEC. Aproject has been started in Canada for the con-

struction of a railroad between Halifax andQuebec, 'i he extent of tho contemplated roadis six hundred miles. The estimated cost variesfrom .£,(,500,000 to -£5,000,000 sterling, or, inround numbers, from fifteen millions to tioenty-ttco millions of dollars. It is urged in favor oftho project, that besides facilitating commercialintercourse, it will have an important effect inaddiig to the security of the Provinces as a partof the Rritish empire.
