About this time Major Fitzconnel appears i!jv.i iho buy scene. He was a tall. handsome man, of casv address, aiid poloheil manners, who seemed to regard a!! around him with an air of very nolite n:ieo;!cci n. lie was announced a- an ;'a cr in his Brittarmic Majesty's service, and brother to Earl Somebody in F.nci .nd. It was reported that he had large possessions in the west. He did not appear to seek society, but was too well bred to repel any civilities which were otlered to him. The gentlemen were well pleased with his good sense, his knowledge of the world, and the suavity of his manners; but as he seemed to avoid the ladies, they had little op porta:.: ty of estimating his qualities. Major Fizronnell and Miss Simper nv-t by nccid. t nt the fountain. The friccr who had just filled his glass at her approat hi presented it to the lady, wjo. in sipping the transparent element, dropped her handkerchief. The gentleman very gallantly picked up the cambric!;, and restored it to the fair ha id of it? owner but the blushing

damsel ab ished bv the easv attentions of an elegant stranger, in confusion lost her retieule, which the soldier gracefully re- laced upon her writ, with a mot rccpectful bow. A courtesy on tiie one ?ide. asd another bow on the other termi rated the civilities of this meeting. The gentleman pursued his walk, and the I nly returned to her chamber. Miss Simper's health required her attendance at the fountain on the following morning at an unusually early hour; and the. Major while others were snoring had sallied forth to enjoy the invigorating freshness of the early breeze. They met again by accident nt the propitious well; and as the attendant who is uu.illy posted there to fill the glasses of the invalids, had not yet taken his station, the Major had not only the happiness of performing that of fiee, but of replenishing the exhausted vessel, until the lady had quaffed the full measure prescribed by the medical dictator of this little community. I am not able to say how often the' pled

ged each other in the sahibricus beverage; but when the reader is informed that the quantum prescribed to a delicate female varies from four to eight glasses, according to the nature of her complaint, and that a ladv cannot decorously sip more than one mouthful without drawing breath, it w ill be seen that ample time was afforded on this occasion for a iete-alcte. The ice being thus broken, and the wrier duly quaffed, ihe gei.tleman proposed a promenade, to which the lady after some little hesitation acceded; and when the great

bell summoned them to breakfast, they

repaired to the table with excellent npn' ti'es. and cheeks glowi-g with

healthful hues, produced by the exer cise of the morning.

At ten o'clock the lady isucd forth

from the chamber, adorned with new charms by the recent labors of the toilet, and strolling pensively, book in hand

to the fartherest comer of the great pi

azza, commenced her studies. It bap

pened at the same moment, that the Major, fresh from his valet's hands, hied

himsfclt to the same cool retreat, to

breathe forth the melancholy musings of his soul upon his flute. Seeing the

lady he hesitated, begged pardon for his intrusion, and was about to retire;

but the lady assured him it was no intrusion at all, and laid aside her hook. The gentleman was soon seated beside her. He. bogged to know the subject of her researches, and was delighted with the taste displayed in the choice of her author; she earnestly solicited a display of bis musical talents, and was enraptured with every note; and when the same impertinent bell which bad curtailed their morning walk, again founded in their ears, they were urprised to find how swiftly time had

flown and chagrined that the common place operation of eating was so often allowed to interrupt the feast of reason

and the flow of soul. At four o'rlirk the military stran

ger hand Miss Simper into an elegant

gig, ad drove to the neighboring vUl

age where rumor soon proclaimed

elves restored instantaneously to per

fect health; and on the following morning they bade adieu to Saratoga springs. "This is a very ungenteel affair V said Mrs. Highflyer. 44 1 never heard the beat of it in my born days?" said a fat shoemaker's lady. "How funny!' cried one young lady. " How shocking!" exclaimed another. "Egad, (hat's a keen smart girl!" said one gentleman. "She's a tickler, I warrant her!" said a second. "She's a pirate, by thunder!" roared Captain Halliard. In the mean while, the new married pair were pursuing their journey by easy stages towards the city of ew York. We ail know "how the blest charms of nature improve, when we sec them reflected," and so on, and we can readily imagine "how happily the days of Thalaba past by" on this occasion. Uninterrupted ceremonious visits, unrestrained by the presence of third parties surrrou.ided by all the blandish-! ments which give enchantment to the

rural sce-ie. it is not surprising that our

lovers should oft disgress from the beaten road, as often linger at a romantic spot, or a secluded cottage. Several days had now elapsed, and neither party had made any disclosure to the other upon the important subject of finance. As they were drawing near the end of their journev, the Ma

jor thought it advisable to broach this

delicate matter to his bride. It was on a tine summer eve as they sat by a win

dow, at an inn enjoying the beauties of

an extensive landscape, that this memorable conversation occurred. TheT had been amusing themselves with that kind of small talk which new married

ioiks iiiiu so vitsuy picasant: a now much they love one another, and bow happy they intend to be, and what a fine thing it is for two fortd hearts to be dissolved and mched down into one. Arc. Many examples of love aid murder were related the ladv told of several distressed swains who had incontinently hanged themselves for their mistresses, and the gentleman as oten asseverated that no. one of those rr-artvr-ed lovers adored the object of h passion, with half the fervor which he felt for his orm, dear swert, darling, precious. Uith Anne! At last throwing his arm over his wife's chair, he said careleslv, "Who has the management of your property, my dear'" " You have, my darling." replied she. " I shall have, when I get it," said the husband "1 meant to inquire, in whose possession it was at present?" "It is all in your own possession," said the lady. " Do not trifle with me," said the gentleman patting her check "you have , M 1 1

mace me me nappy master ot vour per

son, and it is time to give me the disposal of jour fortune."

"Mv face is my fortnne, kind sir,"

said she, laving her head on his shoul

der.

"To be plain with you madam," said

the impassioned bridegroom- " I have need of money immediately; the hired

gig in which we came to this place has been returned, and I have not the means to procure another conveyance."

" I o be equally candid with you, sir.

replied the happy bride, " I have nothing in the world but what you sec."

" Have you no real estate?" said the

Major, starting on his feet.

" Not an acre." " No hank stock ?" " None." " No securities no jewels no mona

evr

"Nothing of the kind.' " Are you not the daughter and hicress of a rich broker?" "Not I, indeed,"

"Who the devil are yon then?"

and listened unobserved. The Major inquired at what hour the maiUtage would pass for New York. About midnight, was the reply. Please to secure me a seat, said the major, and let me be waked at the proper hour. Only one seat? inquired the host. One seat only! was the reply. The landlord remarked that it was customary for gentlemen who set off in the night to pay their fire in advance, upon which the major paid for the seat. The major and his bride retired to separate chambers; the former was soon locked in the arms of sleep, but the latter repelled the drowsy god from her eye-lids. When she heard the stage drive up to the door of the inn, she hastily rose, and haing previously made up her bundle, without which a lady never steals a march hastened down stairs. Upon the way she met the landlord, who inquired if her husband was aivake. He is lot. said the lady, and need rot be disturbed. The seal was taken for you then? in

quired the inkeeper. Ccrtai ly. Oh very well we'll not disturb the ge'ttleman the stage is ready, madam, jump in. Mrs Fitzconnell jumped i i accordingly, and was soon on her way to N-'vv York, leaving the gallant and ingenious Major to provide another conveyance, and anew wife at his leisure.

A man by th,.name of Wilhani McPtiersoa was drowned at Indianapolis on theSih inla::t, ui.der circumstances that have excited considerable sensation, and strong suspicions are entertained that he came unfairly to his

end. it appears that he and two other individuals named Lewis and Van-

blaricum went on board of a canoe with the intention of crossing the river that Vanblaricum overturned the craft

on its passage, and they were all precipitated into the water. Lewis and

said a large number of Chippewas have crossed from the west to the east side

of the Mississippi. These movements, together with others, have induced the

inhabitants west of Illinois river and

north of Peora, (old fort Clarke,) to a-

bandon their homes and move over to the east side of the river. There had been no depredations committed on the 16th, except therVpoiling of one mans hat, by having three balls shot through it on his head. The Rangers raised last year were ordered, by Col. Dodge, the commander, to rendezvous at Hennepin on the 20tli inst. It is generally supposed that in case of a war there is danger almost any where in the state of Illinois. This is a mistake, people on the east side of the Illinois riv er, or below Peora on the west side, maj' be considered as safe as in Indiana or any where else. Yours, &c. JOHN P. HAYES. Rorkvi lie, April 2j, 1S33. Progress of honesty. During the night before last, Lieut. Hart of the city guard; arrested in a gambling house in suburb St. Mary, two individuals, who are said to be conspicuous characters. One is named William Philip?, alias Watkins, and the other James Miller. The first had before been arrested here under the vagrant act, but was discharged from want ofevidencc against him. It is stated that they were in jail at Cincinnati, with E. Bennet, who was killed on the night of the 14th of this month, and Lewis Jones, who was arrested on the same night and is now in jail. It is reported that those four individuals broke the Cincinnati jail and came down to this place one is dead, and it is to be hoped that the others will be so crtrfully watched that they will not disturb any body for future. There were found on Wm. Philips, 19 counterfeit bank notes of $10 on the U. S. Bank, hut which were as yet filled. There is little doubt but the police will soon

be enabled to detect the remainder of

this band of villians. Last nisfht seveml house were broken open, and it appears that the night robbers are still lurking here.
