Finding him.je!f in possession of'a holiday, Samson Iliown be look Limsclf by rail to a village not mttny miletdiitant from London, lie inquired at the Station whether there were return tickets thnt commanded a pe riod of ihree or loardaj s; but receiving an a - a answer in f lie nrfjuitve, re pau ins fecond class fare down, entered a carriage, and sighed to think how his liabilities Would be renewed whrn, Uia holiday expired, he once more sought the great n;ietroolis. He sub mitted, however, to Fate, and was soon ab sorbed in his favorije paper. .... . i , hen, startled in the midst of one of the most interesting articles in the Economist, by a harsh sound, announcing the arrival of the train at the dfttrcd station, Samson Brow n alighted from the carriage, bin first thought was to stroll about the village, and ascertain the nature of the accommodations presented. All he knew about the village watthi: it stoxt a very little way down t lory tone dr.voice, " i admit that tbera are many foolish people hereabouts, and foolish Ceople citen indulge in Inolisli superstitions; ut men of sense, my dear sir men of the world like you and me V Stop a mttaient," Raid Somion Brown ; " don t put you and nve together. You and 1 aee the matter from precisely opposite points of view. You want to get o much as you can for the cottage, and therefore ou disbelieve the report that it is haunted ; want to give you as little as I can, and therefore am a firm believer in suprrtrani ral influences." '" V This loic wit too much for the agent, nn J in a lew aeconds Samson Brown had signed an agreement by virtue of which, on Ui'b 6 wn terms, he obtained possession of the collate, together u ith sundry articles of shabby l'ur nilure, which, probably left by the last fi igh Icned tenant, still lingered in deserted rooms. At. about a quarter before midnight, Sum- son Brown was silting atone in the dreaded first floor buck of ihe cottage, regaling Limsclf wi.h a glass of tolerably strong bran dy and water, and inhaling the frngrancii of a mild citiar. A small loaf and half a Dutch clieeseijload upon the rickety table against which he sat; also a pewter pint-pot; carefully covered with a small date. These articles had been brought 1n by Samson Brown with his own hand, when lie took possesion ;'for ihere was itot a cheesc-mon-iter's assistant or pot-boy who would have approached the door of the troubled bouse. lhs iiiiikI was once more absorbed in tl:c Economist, which be rend throu"h the , fumes that gracefully curled" about his wel! deflnrd now. As the hour of midnight approached, the plate began to clatter terribly on tho top of tho powter-not.. OHmson Urown, roused The expression assumed by the ghost, on the occasion of this remark was cer tainly uugenial. Every feature was dis torted Vti.h rage, the glassy eyes looked like red coals, the skinny right hand took a sweeping gesture, and for a moment Sam ton Brounfe.lt as if he had placed his head in n violent draught, lie received a spco tral box on the ear. "I see," he observed, M tho cufls of a ghost, like hard words break no bones." ' Laying aside the portrait, he untied and ojeued lliu folded paper, when the worst upeliing and worst handwriting he had ever seen were revealed to bis astonished eves, Uvcry criino tliat could possibly be prrpo Irulf'd by mortal in transmitting his thoughts to paper w.nn tno am oi a pen, was appar ent in that vilo manuscript. There were adjectives beginning with capitals, nnd a little "i" to denote the first person ; and the vei.b Jo.

"Good heavens, what a fist!"' he ex claimed. .. Then addressing ihe ghost, who had returned fulkily into tho corner, ho said, "Is this your handwriting, mudum ?" The' ghost nodded " Did you learn writing at school ?" The rIiosI nodded. I "And jour parciUs paid the schooling bills regularly ?" ' Tho ghost nodded.

I'rcsently th? door of the room opened with a crank and closed with a hang. Samson Brown rose from his Seat, turned the key, and resumed his reflections on the proceeds oi customs and excise, i lie clock of the village struck twelve, uilh a dreary solemnity that would have awed evry other occupant of that djsm:!, scan- lily-furniAbed room? but Samson Brown was pondering over the probability of an in crease of the income tax. However, at Ihe final stroke of twelve, a sotindjn the room like the rusiling of still ilk caused Samson Brown to suspect that he was not Mue. Haising his. eyes from the fascinating paper, he perceived a short female figure, in an old fashioned tires of vour writing in the page of the mor.th a Bradsbaw (which j bustftng atmut tU room, and apparently un he had borrowed from a friend,) and con?e- conscious of his presence, untit, uU.b uly qucntly could be reached at a very small j turning round, it fixed upon h'm two glassy eyes.

" f Dick was at the, wharf o:ie day last week, when fine of the up river boats arrived, look ing, doubtless, for seme unwary individual Upon "whom to exercise his talent. He watched chsely the countenance or each passenger as he stepped from the plank upon ihe wharf, and at length fastened his gnze upon an individual who, from his apear nnre and manners, was considerably nearer Mobile than he had ever been before. He was evidently ill atase, nnd had probably heard the reports which were rilV in the country relative to t lie hundreds who were dying in Mobile every hour from yellow revi-r. The man started ufC toward Dau phin street, carpet sack in hand ; but had not proceeded fir when a heavy hand was laid upon his shoulder, and he suddenly stopped. Upon turning round he met the cold, serious countenance of Dick, and it seemed to seru a thrill of terror through-- rtlialnau u ilh I hie miHl fiiifpnnq ennn '"S Wllille franiP.

A correiinondcnt of the New Orleans Picayune, writing from Mina titlan, Dee. 4, gives tbo following, on the authority of Col. Enrico Mejin, of tho Lib erol party In Mexico, as the actual state of things in that country at latest dates : On 24 th October, the cily of Guadalajara was taken by storm by the Liberal forces un der Gen. Degollado, Minister of War of the Constitutional Government. Gen. Blan carte, who commanded tho garrison, and his officers and some men, retreated to two churches in the suburbs, but finally surren dered, on the 27th, on the guarantee of (heir lives being spared, provided they took oath nut to take up arms against the Constitu tional Government. Cols. Palapo and Man ayo, who refused to take oath, were hung in the Archbishop's Palace; and the next day Cen. Blancarte was taken out nnd shot by a Col. Kojas. He was immediately out lawed for this, but made his escape.. Tho -Zuloago party were mnch discon certed by (he fall of the second largest city of tho Republic, and were much n farmed by Blanco's attack on Mexico. Zuloaga had an omnibus nnd four horses attached to It, to fly before the attack, but his officers com pelled him to stay. Gen. Cobos, who was on ihe way to attack era C'iuz. was ordered to the city with all the force which Could be spared from the siege of Perote. Gen. Mir- anion was sent for, from San Luis, and all operations on Vera Cruz were .suspended.

Gen. richeagaray. had most emphatically refused to obey any orders of the Govern ment, and with him was Gen. Rubles con coding a plan probably the Constitution of 1821. - ' Gen. Degollado was organizing, with irreat energy, a division of 00)0 men, the State of Michoaean 2C00, and eld Gen.
