My wife, who is as stout as a lion in the cause ol her sex, could not rest a miuute; she was afraid the poor girl was unhappy ; perhaps going away against ber wi'l ; and speak to her she would ! So she took an opportunity wheu the officer went out, to go into the room where the young lad j wa, to a-k her if any thing trouldcd her.

'Ii the gentleman a relation of yours." 4 He is my husband,' said the girl ; and she looked up so innocent and quiet, that my wife was comforted about her, and content ed herself with giving her all the consola tion she could, about leaving ber home .siiico she was going with her husband and my good woman contrived to speak a few words lo tbe gentleman, and begged him to take great care or sueii a gciiue creature, ami nc promised he would. On going away, the young lady came to my wite mid said soft- ly, 'If you hear any one speak of Kva Hay ward, tell them she has gone to Knglaiid w.;h her husbaud. ' My wife promi-cd she would.

Will, about two years afterwards.it was in winter, sir, a young woman got out of a wagon that passed that way, and came into our house. She had a babe in her arms, and was crying bitterly. The wagou, it seems, bad takuu her up three miles be- yond, and she .i-ktd to be set down at the next house. We knew her iu a minute ! It was the girl ho went away with the Hritish officer! She knew us too, as ill as she was, for she was nearly dead. She told us her pitiful story She had lived with her uncle, w ho was Ler only relation living, in lJo.ston, 1 where she became acquainted with this of- Geer. Her uncle bated the Urilish, and tj,in f, om Colonel Colt, lately asked in in forbade her to speak lo one of them. Hut where bo was bom.

I shall not repeat all that poor Kva ssid, sir," contin ued Jedson ; " but the rojull was, that slm "She, too, is here and still doats upon the wretch who has never made one inquiry about her or ber child." " I am lie ! I believed then) dead," ex claimed the unhappy invalid, " bring me my child ! 1 will explain, 1 n ill atoue for all!" The proud officer was humbled before the simple inkeeper he taw uud Messed his wondering daughter, and not daring to ask to behold ber iiiv-lher, tie in terms of deep contrition informed Jedsou that Kva w as in reality his ii'e, that niter his arri - al III one ol them. 1 lial e.-el was wreche l, and the miserable liu-band and father be lieved him-clf bereft of tho-e he had so fondly loved and deeply injured. lie n icr fu'Klled his marriage contract or lo t the reuieiiilr.ui ee of hi flr-t and martyred love.

Those who anticipate a " dashing blow " at Kus.-ia iu the Haltio Would do well to read the first paper iu Fraser's Magazine for May, which imply describes the naval and military geography of that twisted sen. The paper, indeed, is much more than an ordinary magazine article. Composed by ! one who has an intimate mid detailed knowl edge of the giound, wbo has been able to survey it, too, from the historical point of view, and from tbe most advantageous po sition ac-i'.ssible to an Knglishmati in lius.-ia, it po-scsscs. an authenticity commonly al lowed only to official papers; it is thorough ly practical in its purpose clear and graphic in its language. . An Knglish fleet entertrig th closed sea will not eueouutiT its at the in tricate entrance. ThS ilitficuity which our fleet bad in venturing lo pass the Sound, ttitli us shaduvv waters, the necessity f-r takiug the more circuitous route by the (ireat Helt, formed only a foretaste of the 'destructive navigation, which increases as the capital of Hus-ia is approached. Pas sing by the dill's of Holstein, the aandy shores of Pius-i i, the granite rocks of .Sue den leaving out of account the iec which walls up the water way to the upper part of the H.iltic the greater part of thu year let us take or'v what might be considered vul nerable points. Wc need n it d well much upon 'I ;a and thu entrance to the ljtia, ...uiigly foititied, though iuiperfcctfully manned, and not at present armed enough again-! attack to be without terror at the name of Napier. The two parts of Ka-.-ia that would seem to invite the de-ired blow are Finland for it supposed disposition to ret jru to Sweden, and its importance, iu a military point of view lor approaching Uos.sia by land and the dull' ol Finland, the lioad to St Peters burg. As to Finland, the province so dis. honestly taken from Sweden in 1 "Ml, a pri ori, it might he supposed thiit the inhabi tants, w hose ethnological sympathies with the Muscovites are small, would be ready enough to shake otr the yoke, and return to their original fealty; but it will not do to trust in ar to a priori reasoning. The Fins have a con-titution secured to them for fifty years after the cession; they have several privileges; and there is no positive evidence of their Swedi-h tendencies. Moreover, the approaches are fortified by nature and the Crar. 'The entrance to the (iu!f i gated by that group of eighty islands which go by tho L'f ii'T il mine of the 1 irgest, Aland ; an arehipeligo of islands, strait.', reefs, bays and banks, which lauji at the entrance of any eratt but the gnlSiys nd gunboats of obi north warfare.

F.aeh series of works is complete in itself as re gards .-tores of all kinds, ami bomb-proof cover. 'I be batteries are formidable, both bccaue they are unassailable iu the bald ness of the rocks from which tiny are carved, and because they have the heavie-t ordnance. Between Sveaborg and Hi vl lies ;he narrow entrance to the I lull' of Fin laud, wbo-e shores recede from each other to meet again nearer Cron-tadt, at tin; en trance of the estuary of the Neva. Well, if the fleet lying iu the li iy of IM-ingt rs cannot be si ized.

Hut Low to get in T There is, no doubt, the clioi e of two channels; but tbe northern is closed with a double or triple row of piles, five or six miles in length, which renders it accessible oi y to small craft. It is II 'bson's choice, therefore; mid, taking the other channel, th" ad ve nt ut oils sea-captain, on invasion bent, will have to steer I. is ship between Fort Alexander on the left, and Hi-bank on the right, each eight hundred yards dis tant, each built of granite and bristling with heavy euns ; then come Fort Peter and the timber port of Crou-lott, the la-t of no formidable character; but then Again the adventurer enters the " i;id e Hoad," a p-is-age two hundred nr.d fifty yards wide, commanded by Cronslott and Mole Head, and the cube granite buiit Fort MetncikofV, with a very large number of guns. Heyn 1, in the narrowing channel lies a vista of land fortiticati ms not practically important ; no fleet ill goose's file is likely to enter there, save as the llussian admiral effected bis entrance into Ilel-ingfors, when a Swe-di-h admiral capitulated, by force of golden artillery. Here, then, is the strength of lluasia. She is a great hedgehog;. Her means of offence is not alarming: seventy-two ships of ail sizes, in her liiltie ami Kuxine fleets, commanded by generals, w it Ii captains w ho wear spurs, and gunners who place less than one shot iu a dozen a Napier could easily put such a fleet Under bis arm, and present it to the liritish Museum. Put to be conquered, Hus-ian ships milst come out, and they show no impatience to be conquered. Kussian fleets steal victories from Knglish foes by stopping in doors ; , and it is a winning game lor the spurred; sailors. A mammoth hedgehog, w ith a more than rhinoceros bide of granite, Kussia can- ' not easily bo made to feel blows. Per chance she may bo locked up and starved,1 until her very intestines rebel ; but this isj tedious work, even to those fo whom vi -to , ry is promised in reversion. The only! .strength that can conquer inert, dogged, I shameless obstinacy, is unflagged patience,! actively persevering patience in officers and i men, tranquil, passive patience in a public, guarded tigainst harassing its owu servants! by epooti Jg, auJ ueuiauding impossibilities. Mil. SOULM'S DKMANbiS. The Paris correspondent of thu New York Tribune, writing under the date ot tbe .'id instant, states that the Madrid correspon dence of the London Times, in explanation of the proceedings of Mr. Souleou the Hluck Warrior affair, are ridiculously untrue The facts of the cuse, be says, lire as fol lows. Our readers may take what margin for fancy they those : On thu arrival of the special messenger, Mr, Winslow, with instructions, Mr. Soule prepared and sent to the Spanish Minister of Foreign Affairs, Mr. Calderon de la Ibir ca, a very calm, clear, firm demand, contain ing two propositions : first, indemnity ; sec ondly, guaranty for the future, by the ap pointment of a diplomatic agent ut Havana, with powers to meet these jaes. 'J bis was delivered to M. Calderon, w ith a request for a prompt response, but not speeilyitig the time which was allowed to make the response. At the end of twenty-four hours, Mr. Soule, receiving no reply, another note was sent, in tultauee the sume es the first, and adding that if at tho end of tvventy-f our hours a response w as not received, he should take it for granted that the Spanish govern ment approved the action of the Cuban au thorities, and should act accordingly. This was delivered by the Secretary, Mr. Perry, in person. When Mr. Calderon had fiini-hed reading the note, Mr. Perry coolly drew out bis watch and said : " Your excellency iil plea-e observe that it is now 1 J o clock; at g o clock, to-morrow, precisely, I shall be lure for a reply." " Holy Virgin ! young man, what do you mean?" exclaimed thu Minister, " holy week and a Sunday inter vtuing ; il is iur,'Os;i l le !" Mr. Pcrrry left, llefore the termtnetion of the twenty four hours, Mr. Soule receiv ed a re-ponse from M. Calderon, stating that it was out of the power of the govern ment to act in the matter, inasmuch as they had received no official intelligence from Cuba to giuidc them iu their negotia tions, and adding that the manner of Mr. Soule clearly indicated that the government of the L nited States was much more anx ious for a difficulty than for a si ttlemeiit. To this Mr. Soule responded, again re iterating bis first demand, and adding rather impertinently, it must be admitted that he w as satisfied that full information bad been received from Cuba, and that iu reference to the des'glis of the L nited States they sought only n prompt settlement of the difficulty, in order to preserve the peaceful relations which cxi-ted between the two countries ; that the continued iuuits wbiefi the Cubau authorities bad offered the I'ni ted States bad so exa-perated the people that a prompt settlement would br found the surest guarantee of continued peacoiul re lations. Atthis stage of the proceedings, the Juecn sent for Mr. Soule, who, it may as well be le re repeated, i in favor at the palace, while, en the contrary, Calderon is hated by her. Her majesty, who indulges in a very strong diet, into which brandy and ci gar enter largely, and w bo is not very choice in her language, wi-hed to know of Mr. Soule what the row meant between bim and M.

On Mr. Sonic'- stating the ease, she stamped her foot violently on the floor, and said that "Calderon was a d d fool; that she wi-hed Sjulu would manage th" affair so as to get her rid of him, and she advised him In jhcss him hm -l .'" It is gen erally thought in diplomatic ciercles iu Par is, that between Mr. Soule and the tjueen Calderon will be brou ht to a conclusion of some kind. Hkmi.val of t i i k. Main Hunk in run I. km of a iinv. John Iiaja, a lad 15 years of age, son of a widow lady of Allegheny city, had received, soim1 six months ago, an in jury of the leg by a fall in con-cqm nee of which the whole shaft of the bone had be come decayed. To save the limb I'r. Wal ter removed last week, while the boy was under the influence of chloroform, the main bone of the leg from the knee by extirpa tion. Incredible as it may appear to the non-professional, that a limb could be saved and made useful by the removal of the whole of its main bone, still experience Ins taught that a new bono will be rapidly re generated in childhood, and that the shape, length, and Usefulness of the lb. ib will be preserved. This is a triumph of modern surgery thus to save a limb while it is a blessing to the afflicted to lie re-tored w ith out mutilation. 'The boy is doing well, free from pain and his recovery appears to be certain.

These twenty-two vessels carried away fif teen thousand and tliree hundred ami for ty-me persons, (if these, ten thousand eight hundred twenty-five were Irish two thousand four hundred and eighteen were Kuglisb, two hundred and fifty-live were Scotch, and eighteen hundred and forty three were natives of oilier Kiirop. ati coun tries; but the last number was made up al most entirely of tiennaus.

ADVANTAGES OF PAYING Foil A NKWSPAPKH IN APVANCK. One of the facts put iu evid.uce at the trial iu the supreme court, to sustain the will of the lute William Ilus-i ll, was. that ' only a few days before he made the will le. called at the offico of the lVinoerat and paid for bis pap-T a year iu advance, thereby saving fifty cents. This fact was dwelt up on at length by counsel, and comuiouted upon by the judge in his charge as one of great importance. The verdict of tho jury would seem to sustain tlio position, that a man who has mind and memory enough to pay for his uewspaper in advance, is conipc taut to make tli will. Fssnklil UcmxfC A I! iot hi f!itftf-i. A riot took place in Host iii on the 2fth ult. A gentleman from Alexandria went on and had a runaway slave of his arrested under the Fugitive Slave Act this caused a meeting of the abolitionists, who were addrcs,ed by Wendell Phillips, Theodore Parker and others, who urged upon them re.-istancc to the law. The result was, their advice was followed and one of the aids of ,, , , , .,, . . . the -Marshal was killed in tho attempt to ' rescue the fugitive. Then, when these mis- erable seiiinps found that the Irien is of the murdered man were about to wreak their veiigcaiice on them, they called upon the city authorities to protect them from the vi- olcuco of tuo Irish. We ve thu extracts below from I'o-ton papers : Tbe Pusi says : A large' meeting asseuii b d in I'.uieiiil II. ill la-t evening, called by the appeals in behalf of the fugitive .slave Hums, now in custody. '1 be meeting was pre-ided over by George Ii. llusseil, of lloxbury, support ed by u ii-t of vice president- of the mo-t unquestionable abolition stamp. Speeches were made by Wendell Phillip-, who vild have the 'lave set free ill the streets of 11 is. ton, and congratulating; tin: audiei.ee that the city government was with them, which had instructed the police not to interfere ; ; that, to-morrow mn-t show w hethir we will do our duty ; that there is no law iu -Mas.-a-chusett-, and the sovi reignty of the people must begin ; that the audience mu.-t keip their eyes ou the fugitive, and never lose, sight of him in the street, but be on perpet ual guard ; that Ho-tun must redeem hi-r-eif ot the stain for allowing Sims !o be carried bad. ; and concluded by reiterating his caution to keep bis eye on them and by Theodore Parker, w ho comuieiici d by cal ling the audience " feilow subji et.s of Vir ginia," beeau-e there is no north, the line cf the .south running away to Canada; that there are two laws, the slave law and tin: popular sovereignty; that Ho'toii once re sisted law ou thu ground that what was not just was not law, and arguing that they were bound to resist the law and reseu.i the slave, moving that when the meeting ; adjourn it adjourn to meet in Court square the next morning at !l o'clock. Vociferous cries were rai-ed of "To night! tonight!' and Mr. Parker, after i vainly endeavoring to bring the audience to adopt bis motion, moved that they go to the Keverc llou-e, and fall upon the slave catchers to night. The inolj spirit seemed to be up, which the ones who had conjured it would fuiu allay, and 1'hii.ips again ty,k the stand, to endeavor to throw the aid cf hi.- eloquence on the troubled waters. : The crowd bad scarcely reached Curt S,Unro H llOl fCVtlVtl lilell V-il!
