A spasm —a flicker from the guilt within—glauced over her countenance. ''You look very good natured. iir," she stammered. I bowed, and looked con sidorably more so, in order to invite her conn" dence. "If I waa to tell you a Becret which I find is too much to keep to myself, oh, would you keep it inviolable ?" "I know it, my dear madam—I know it already," said I. smiling. '-It is lace, is it not ?" She uttered a little shriek, and, yes. she had got it there among the crinoline. She thought it had been sticking out, you see, unknown to her. '•Ob, sir," she cried, "it is only ten pounds worth. Please to forgive me, and I'll never do it again. Ab it is, I think I shall expire." My dear madam," replied I, sternly, but kindly, " here is the pier, and the officer has fixed his eye upon us. 1 must do my duty." I rushed up the ladder like a lamplighter ; I pointed out the woman to a legitimate authority ; I accompanied her upon her way, in custody to the searching house. I did uot see her searched, but I Baw what was found upou her, and I saw her fined and dismissed with ignominy. Then, having generously given up my emoluments as informer to the subordinate officials, I hurried off'in search of the betrayed woman to her hotel. 1 gave her lace twice the value of that she had lost. I paid her futlyjaad then ex plained. ""Vou, madam, had ten pounds' worth Of smuggled goods about your person ; I had nearly fifty times that amount. I turned informer, madam, let me convince you, for the sake of both of us.

" Well,1 thought the rector, "this is bare living at any rate il I bad known, I would have had a beefsteak at a chiip-huuse before I came ; but I hardly expected that a bishop would dine at 1 o'clock. Is it a fast day I w nder?" He drank bis tea, however, and said nothing. About Ik o'clock his bed-candle was placed in his hand, and he was conducted his sleeping room. "C;itl poll tins London?" se>nifquiz<-el j "' why I should have fared far belter at Silverton ; I should have had my comlortable mutton chop and my glass of beer at 9 o'clock, and I should have been in bed at ten ; well fed and contented.

Well, fine furniture won't make a man fat; give me substantial victuals, and you may take the gilding," So' liloquizing in this fashion he undressed himself' pulled over his ears his cotton nightcap, *■ with a tassel on the top," as the song says, and crept into bed, coiliug himself up comfortably ; and, being of forgiving temper, ho soon forgot his tr mi es and sank into his first sleep as sweetly as a " cbris. tian child ;" when lo! after a while, bells begin to ring, and a smart knock at his door resounds through his room, and a voice is heard saying Dinner is ou the table. Sir!" The old gentleman awoke inconsiderable confusion, not knowing whether it was to-day or tomorrow ; and, accord ing to the most authentic account, he appeared shortly after at t e dinner table, though in a some ,'hat-ruffled condition as relates to his wardrobe, nd mentally in a haze of uncertainty as to the d^y of the week and the meal he was eating.— Ftazer's Magazine for November. Artificial Pearls.—Avery remarkable result of pisciculture has been lately obtained in the department of the Mcurthe, where, from a smal] stream, the enormous weight of 25.000 kilogram, nies of break was taken during the last sesaon.— The scales of this fish are used for making artificial pearls. By an ingenious process they are reduced to a kind ot paste called essence dOrient ; and the French artificial pearls are simply small hollow glass balls, coated inside with this paste and filled with white wax.— Gallignani's Messenger. Personal.—Wheu General Scott arrived in New Orleans, some one near him ia the crowd which pressed around him at the St. Charles asked permission to carry his overcoat for him. The General granted the request, and the person, in carrying out his intention in getting the coat in his possession, carried it entirely away, and the Gen eral has not heard of it since. In consequence the General had to call upon a tailor the next day. Miss Harriet Prescolt, of Newburyport, is the author of the curious story, " Irj a Cellar," in the February number of tbe Atlantic Monthly. The editors thought, from the ease with which foreign topics were alluded to, that it was a translation, bnt learned that it was the brilliant product of an uotravelled New England girl.

A Paris letter in the J\ord, of Brussels, says that the body of the Emperor Napoleon I, is to be in a short time removed to the Church of St. Dennis, but that the heart is to remain at the lavalidcs Tue Women of Cmu, Italy.—-Its women, says Miss Kavanagb, ate, after all, the most beautiful pieces of antiquity which Capri possesses. Truly tbe blood of the Greek has come down to them undented. I never saw in all Italy such lovely creatures. They are tall and stately, yet exquis itely graceful, with pure oval faces, dark eyes, soft and downcast, and a sweet dignity in the r aspect and their bearing that made them look to me like so many fit gin queens. I could uot think with patience of the comments I had heard on the so-called mesalliance of the two English gentlemen who married Capri girls. Wumen like th' se we saw are ladies, (or their beauty is not mere beauty of form and color, it is the perfection ol womanhood. They may be peasants, they may be- ignorant, but rude or vulgar they cannot be, with such noble, intellectual faces. Was Nausica the less a princess for washing ber father's linen?— For my part, I looked at them and became a sudden convert to the theory of races.

Trlbiine on the New. Cent. The year 1858 is chiefly marked by the introduc. tion of a new penny. Hercules, or rather the stat. tie ol that mythical personage, was (old by his foot. So the majestic art of this country may be told by this penny. The Goddess of Liberty is represent, ed by an Indian squaw—that is to Say, there is a lady with the Greek outline, except that the lips are cantankerously thin, and without the; pulp of emotioual loveliness ; a lady with this expression wearing a head-dress of aquiline feathers, in the true Indian slye. The customary afcser.ee of relief! to the configuration which distinguishes medern coins from ancient, coupled with the necessary want of color, makes the face as mean and tameas possible, not to say unnatural and of the pancake order of high art. '' O Liberty, what crimes an committed iu thy name?" True, Madame Roland and not tbe least are such abominations as this penny of 1858. A Grecian American squaw—a latitudinally flat-headed one into the bargain, as a representative of Liberty 1 Delicious idealism f— A squaw—one of the most deplorable of slaves A squaw who does all the wmk of the Iodide. A squaw who waits patiently and humbly upou every whim of'thuse lazy, throat cutting ruffians, the lords of the loreBt ; a painted and greased rabble, who despise all labor, deeming war arid the chase ihe only fitting employment for manhood. A squa who has even to go into Ihe woods to bring hon tbe bear, buffalo or elk which the hunter has killed, it being beneath Lis dignity to leteh home game. A ceature of this sort is chosen as the type of the head of Liberty for our most popular coin- the radical penny. Wondrous histoiico-esthetic achievement! Marvelons multeability offact.

PEAKCIS MELIUS, HAVING pni-cliasc'd the patent right of tlie above valuable invention, for tlie purpose of supply- in.' the counties ol Los Angeles, San Bernardino and Sau Diego, is now prepared to execute all orders with which he may be favored. The piib.ic are aware that it has been tlie study of scientific men, architects and builders,for many"yeai-8 to discover an article lor Roofing purposes, that wil! withstand sudden changes ot climate, be impervious to water, and of sure protection against fire. The inventor of this roofing labored many years to combine articles which would answer the above purpose and obviate the dilliciiliios ot rust and dec-ay attendant upon tin and shingles, and the destruction by the sun and frosi of the various compositions used for rooting. TIlis lie succeeded in doing, and now, alter sis years ot the severest trial we would invite the careful attenticn of all interested in such matters, believing that they will be fully convinced of its praetieal value both for durability aud economy, in which respects we believe that its equal is not at present known. This roofing can readily be applied to roofs ot every description, either steep or flat, and can be put on over shingles o. tin, being much cheaper than the first and at half the cost ot the latter. Two coats of the mastic put on over an old leaky- tin roof, will m-ke it as good as new at one-third oi tho cost. In preparing thia roofing a heavy drilling or canvass is used, which is thoroughly saturated with' a perfectly water proof preparation, alter which it receives a thick coating, upon both sides, of the flour of soapstoiic, which sets into the texture of the canvass aud gives it a firm body, making it very elastic and durable. After the canvass, as prepared, is out noon the roof, another coaling ol niastic.wlneli is tl.or..u«hlv filled with sand, is given it. making it fireproof in "everv respect. By exposure, this coat- in-becomes firm and solid, giving yon a roof that can be walked upon with perfect impuni y, and as durable as an.thing known; and we do most candidly and unhesitatingly believe, far superior to anything of the kind vet discovered; and alter a ser.-re 'est ot manv years, stand as reliable and good as when first put on, without change or decay. Ail that we ask is, that a careful examination maybe given it, and we feel convinced that it will bear all the recommendation which we offer of it. Annexed we give you the names of some of the persons using tins roofin", and to whom we are at libe ty to refer: — BEFBttBttttES. — IV RO^TO^l -—Union ll!a...Co.

HouaB. — Mr. English, of Indiana, reported a bill establishing many new post routes, and giving authoiity to the Poslmaster General to contract for carrying tbe mails according to the existing laws on all public roads which have been the public convenience required it. Mr. Jones, ofTeun., replied that they had already an overland mail to the Pacific, which would prove a curse to the country, at a cost of SGOO.OOO per annum in six years. Mr. English said there was nothing in this bill requiting sen ice to be put on the route from St, Paul to the Pacific. Senate—The Senate, in pursuance of a resolution passed on Friday last, met at 11 o'clock. . Mr. Pugh, of Ohio, and Mr. Gwin. of California, introduced the Senators from Oregon, Hon. Joseph Lane and Hon. Delazou Smith, who were sworn in and took their seats. On drawing Ipts, Mr. Lane obtained the longer term. Mr. Hunter presented the credentials of Hon. Robert Toombs as Senator from Georgia, until 1865. The Indiana question came up, andVas debated for several hours. The debate, which was mainly confined to the legal gentlemen of tbe Senate, was highly interesting, but turned so much on legal and constitutional points involved, that it is impossible within the limits of a telegraphic dispatch to convey even an outline. Seward, of N. Y., Trumbull, of III.. Fessenden, of Me., Harlan, ot Iowa. Collamer, of Vt., and others on the Republican side, and Bayard of Delaware, Green, of Mo., Benjamin, ol La., Pugh, of Ohio, and others against the coolest-ants, delivered their opinions regarding the case Mr. Pugh moved an amendment to the effect that the report of the Judiciary Committee, declaring Messrs. Bright and Fitch the legally elected Senators from Indiana, be sustained, and that the vote of the Senate be final in the case, February 15. Senate—The Vice President took (he chair precisely; at eleven o'clock, when Father Boyle, of the Catholic Church, pronounced the opening prayer. Not a Senator occupied a seat at the time, save one. who, flaring prayer, retired into the lobby. The Vice President rapped with his gavel, and remarked that he could not call the vacant desks to come to OFder, and so he would wait the arrival of the Senators. By a quarter past eleven o'clock the Senators had stepped in, and the reading of the journal commenced. House—Mr. Lafayette Grover, the member elect from 0;egon, was qualified and took his seat. February 10. The Ocean Mail Steamer bill reported Irom tlie Committee on Ways and Means, proposes ihe appropriation of $62,500 for carrying the mail from New Orleans to San Francisco, by way of Te- huantepec. This ia the only new route specifically provided for. Tbe Postmaster General has discretion to procure their conveyance to foreign port?. The ocean mail service is o be defrayed from the postage receipts. Mr. Dixon, ol Conn., introduced a bill as a substitute for the post office committee, and a bill to abolish the franking privilege. It provides for supplying members ol Congress with correspondence sent, and debits the Treasury with the cost of the postage on letters received. Philadelphia, February 15.

From private intelligence from finaymai*, we learn that a difficulty had occurred between tho authorities aud Capt. Sfonc, tff'lfce following pa- I tuce : A number of muskets, 4;000 in all, %h;cii i had been sent on consignment lor this city to * person at Guaymas, not txee'tlng wiili a sale, the agenf. fearful that one, or both, of Ihe political parties might endeavor to seizei them, placed them iu custody of Capt. Stone, who placed them in a room, and put his seal on the door. Young Roh- itison, an adherent of Pesquien'a, Erottff ihe seal, entered the room, and conveyed the muskets on board the Ada, % schooner which was seized some time since from Capt. Brown, who is now in this city. The Ada, with a crew of 15 men. armed with an old gun left at Guayrmu by the Americans in 1848, set sail for Mazatlan, and dipt. Stone, with eight men, pursued in the Manual Payuo, but did ' not overhaul lbs Ada. Whilst the chase was being maintained the U. S, sloop of war Vandalia hove in sight, but not know, ing the nature of the difficulty did not Interfere. It was expected that Capt. Stone would pursue <* the Ada into the port of M^izall rf, where it was likely the Vandalia would go. Considerable amount of real estate atOuaymits' Hermosillo, Altar aud other towns had changed hands at very reduced figures, in fact, real estate, ranches, whole blocks in towns,.<&c, can be pur' chased with ready cash very cheaply.

M'll. Piccolomiui sings, in the Italian version
of the Bohemian Girl, (La Zingara,) tbe song
known as (,I dreamt that I dwelt iu Marble Halls,'-'

dear madam," Said I to a fellow passenger in the
Dieppe boat, taking out my watch, but keeping
my eye steadily upon her, "we shall be, io less
than ten minutes, at the custom house." A spasm
—a flicker from the guilt within—glauced over
her countenance. ''You look very good natured.
iir," she stammered. I bowed, and looked con
sidorably more so, in order to invite her conn"
dence. "If I waa to tell you a Becret which I find
is too much to keep to myself, oh, would you keep
it inviolable ?" "I know it, my dear madam—I
know it already," said I. smiling. '-It is lace, is
it not ?" She uttered a little shriek, and, yes. she
had got it there among the crinoline. She thought
it had been sticking out, you see, unknown to
her.
'•Ob, sir," she cried, "it is only ten pounds
worth. Please to forgive me, and I'll never do it
again. Ab it is, I think I shall expire."
My dear madam," replied I, sternly, but kindly,
" here is the pier, and the officer has fixed his eye
upon us. 1 must do my duty." I rushed up the
ladder like a lamplighter ; I pointed out the woman to a legitimate authority ; I accompanied her
upon her way, in custody to the searching house.
I did uot see her searched, but I Baw what was
found upou her, and I saw her fined and dismissed
with ignominy. Then, having generously given
up my emoluments as informer to the subordinate
officials, I hurried off'in search of the betrayed woman to her hotel. 1 gave her lace twice the value
of that she had lost. I paid her futlyjaad then ex
plained. ""Vou, madam, had ten pounds' worth
Of smuggled goods about your person ; I had
nearly fifty times that amount. I turned informer,

taken his seat, tea was brought rouud. " Well,1
thought the rector, "this is bare living at any rate
il I bad known, I would have had a beefsteak at
a chiip-huuse before I came ; but I hardly expected
that a bishop would dine at 1 o'clock. Is it a fast
day I w nder?" He drank bis tea, however, and
said nothing. About Ik o'clock his bed-candle
was placed in his hand, and he was conducted

—as hungry as a hunter—almost ready to devour
my blanket, like the boav.oiisiricim'—hn ha!—
and where everything looks so grand. Well, fine
furniture won't make a man fat; give me substantial victuals, and you may take the gilding," So'
liloquizing in this fashion he undressed himself'
pulled over his ears his cotton nightcap, *■ with a
tassel on the top," as the song says, and crept into
bed, coiliug himself up comfortably ; and, being of
forgiving temper, ho soon forgot his tr mi es

to ring, and a smart knock at his door resounds
through his room, and a voice is heard saying
Dinner is ou the table. Sir!" The old gentleman awoke inconsiderable confusion, not knowing
whether it was to-day or tomorrow ; and, accord
ing to the most authentic account, he appeared
shortly after at t e dinner table, though in a some
,'hat-ruffled condition as relates to his wardrobe,

Artificial Pearls.—Avery remarkable result
of pisciculture has been lately obtained in the department of the Mcurthe, where, from a smal]
stream, the enormous weight of 25.000 kilogram,
nies of break was taken during the last sesaon.—
The scales of this fish are used for making artificial
pearls. By an ingenious process they are reduced
to a kind ot paste called essence dOrient ; and
the French artificial pearls are simply small hollow
glass balls, coated inside with this paste and filled
with white wax.— Gallignani's Messenger.
Personal.—Wheu General Scott arrived in New
Orleans, some one near him ia the crowd which
pressed around him at the St. Charles asked permission to carry his overcoat for him. The General granted the request, and the person, in carrying out his intention in getting the coat in his
possession, carried it entirely away, and the Gen
eral has not heard of it since. In consequence the
General had to call upon a tailor the next day.
Miss Harriet Prescolt, of Newburyport, is the
author of the curious story, " Irj a Cellar," in the
February number of tbe Atlantic Monthly. The
editors thought, from the ease with which foreign
topics were alluded to, that it was a translation,

uotravelled New England girl.

Tue Women of Cmu, Italy.—-Its women, says
Miss Kavanagb, ate, after all, the most beautiful
pieces of antiquity which Capri possesses. Truly
tbe blood of the Greek has come down to them
undented. I never saw in all Italy such lovely
creatures. They are tall and stately, yet exquis
itely graceful, with pure oval faces, dark eyes,
soft and downcast, and a sweet dignity in the r
aspect and their bearing that made them look to
me like so many fit gin queens. I could uot think
with patience of the comments I had heard on the
so-called mesalliance of the two English gentlemen who married Capri girls. Wumen like th' se
we saw are ladies, (or their beauty is not mere
beauty of form and color, it is the perfection ol
womanhood. They may be peasants, they may be-
ignorant, but rude or vulgar they cannot be, with
such noble, intellectual faces. Was Nausica the
less a princess for washing ber father's linen?—
For my part, I looked at them and became a sudden convert to the theory of races. I bad already

The year 1858 is chiefly marked by the introduc.
tion of a new penny. Hercules, or rather the stat.
tie ol that mythical personage, was (old by his foot.
So the majestic art of this country may be told by
this penny. The Goddess of Liberty is represent,
ed by an Indian squaw—that is to Say, there is a
lady with the Greek outline, except that the lips
are cantankerously thin, and without the; pulp of
emotioual loveliness ; a lady with this expression
wearing a head-dress of aquiline feathers, in the
true Indian slye. The customary afcser.ee of relief!
to the configuration which distinguishes medern
coins from ancient, coupled with the necessary
want of color, makes the face as mean and tameas
possible, not to say unnatural and of the pancake
order of high art. '' O Liberty, what crimes an
committed iu thy name?" True, Madame Roland
and not tbe least are such abominations as this
penny of 1858. A Grecian American squaw—a
latitudinally flat-headed one into the bargain, as a
representative of Liberty 1 Delicious idealism f—
A squaw—one of the most deplorable of slaves
A squaw who does all the wmk of the Iodide. A
squaw who waits patiently and humbly upou every
whim of'thuse lazy, throat cutting ruffians, the lords
of the loreBt ; a painted and greased rabble, who
despise all labor, deeming war arid the chase ihe
only fitting employment for manhood. A squa
who has even to go into Ihe woods to bring hon
tbe bear, buffalo or elk which the hunter has killed,
it being beneath Lis dignity to leteh home
game. A ceature of this sort is chosen as the type
of the head of Liberty for our most popular coin-
the radical penny. Wondrous histoiico-esthetic
achievement! Marvelons multeability offact.
Fiddlesticks—a word strongly expressive of contempt. It crushes all reply. When a lady bnce
