V lie stood still accordingly until a shriek so full of thrilling horror as to freeze the hearer's blood burst on his startled sense he gazed eagerly on the stage did he dream ? No there she stood before him -her wild and burning eyes directed full on him, her long, black hair sweeping in gloomy horror round her form, her white extended arm bearing the bloodstain ed dagger" the Medea, of the poet, the fearfull vision of ltis remorseful fancy ! A moment still she stood as , if transfixed to stone then slowly raising her hand as if to wipe the blood gouts from her brow her voice burst in one long, harrowing maniac laugh, and to the ground she sunk, like a statue tallen lrom its base. Twas i but an instant, yet it sufficed to show to the astounded gaze- of Bellenden the glittering of a gem on that uplifted hand the crowd reeled dizzily before his eyes lights and faces swam togeth er, and a cold chill ran shivering through his blood, lie rushed into the lobbies for air there the crush had already began; he forced his arduous way thro' the grand staircase, by a pass Ay, into the private galleries, he hurried hastily through corridors and be hind scenes until he reached a stage door. Panting and faint, at last he found himself in the back street, contrasting in its dark, splashy pavements, With the glare in front as much as the smile upon an acress' lip often does with her dejected heart ; and he leaned, to recover himself, against the solitary lamp-post. " It was herself! it was Estelle!" so ran his murmuTsd thought, " I met the glittering of those terrible eyes I saw the flashing" of that fatal gem. Eternal Heav en ! that gem which was given as- " - "A pledge ! which will be redeemed 1" interrupted a deep toned voice. Bellenden turned with a ghastly recollection of the sound. She stood there beside the solitary lamp, whose lurid gleam made her features' paleness seem more terrible she stood there, in calm and Mesperate sternness, facing her dostroyer, and he emailed before her. "Man," she said, " ruthless and daring as thou art, tremble ! we shall meet again !" Ere he could sum- mon voice to answer or compel one limb to move, she was gone-. He heard the rolling of her carriage wheels, and staggered from the spot, scarcely daring to think upon the past or acticipate its consequences. Night was upon the earth, silence and darkness held reign at length even over the streets of London.

"While the old line politicians throughput the Union are vigorously striving for accession o strength, and while the new political party which has lately sprung into existence at the North, under the name of Know Somethings, are making prodigious efforts to con-' vince themselves and the world that they are destine! to overtopple all other political platforms and struc tures, the National American party are silently but surely gaining additional power. Emigrants from Europe are pouring in upon us as fast as ever. Since Castle Garden has been appoint ed as the only place where emigrants ships cau land their living loads, a true condition of those who ar rive can be fafmore easily obtained. Those who intend proceeding West, or in any other direction, are immediately forwarded on without the liberty of stop ping for a season in our city, to become a public nui sance and a source of expense to oar citizens. Th5se, however,! Who were already here when' the law went into force, cannot be molested Taking it for granted that some facts in regard, to emigrants who have arrived during the past year or two will not prove uninteresting, 1 win give you such information as 1 have at hand During the year ending December 31, 1854, there arrived at this port from foreign countries, 319,223 emigrants ; of whom 176,98G .were from Germany ; bl,dQZ rrom Ireland ; 30, 8 from England and the remainder from other quarters of the world. Of these, 4,4d, who were diseased, were admitted to the, Marine Hospital ; 12,487 to the Emigrants' Refuse on Ward's Island ; 128 at the Hospital on Broadway, and 100 to the Lunatic Asylum. Most of the expen ses had to be paid by the city Durin the year also 4,164 were forwarded to various places inland, the city paying their fares, to prevent them remaining longer a burthen upon the community : 17,516 .of these pauperswere relieved iu this city by food, cloth ing, money, &c; 51,509 were temporarily supplied with board and lodgings in the city ? 1,632 outdoor foreign paupers were .buried at the expense of the corporation and 444 weite returned to Europe by the samp means. And when it is considered that the above expenses 'were defrayed for those only who had arrived daring one year, and that thousands who wr.ro here previously, were also a source of expend, Jure to meaty . at ; the same, time,-you can readil'v imnrnn what outlays of money is required in New"Yorkfor tne relief ot foreigners who are in Our midst. It is almost; impossible for one to pass through our streets without meeting at nearly every" block a beg gar, brace Mayor Vood has been in office, this nui sance has been greatly abated; as the police are re quired to arrest all vagrants. Still, thev are onlv tn. ken from the streets to be supported by us at some of me puoiic institutions for that purpose. But even now the streets are infested by them, as well as the hotels and parks. . I do not recollect having seen dur ing the past two years, more than three or four Amer ican born persona that were . beggargLthey are all foreigners. There exists a regular organized system' of begging among us, by men and women who make it a profes sion. From developemcnts that have been made on the subject, it would appear that there has been, and is still, to a great extent, a class of these persons who form themselves together to the number of from one to wo hundred having reerular siirns. lannnaa-es in- . ' O o telligibJe only to themselves, and other secret arrange ments, who beg individually and divide mutually, and not only make their living by this means, but actually save money. It is a.daiJyiccurrence for women and men also, to go round from house to house with large baskets asking for food with ;the most woful counten ances, and with tales of destitution that would be. apt to excite a spirit of charity in a'most any one. And I have known a woman to call punctually, every day for the space of three months, who often, fcould' have enough provisions thus collected to last a single family for nearly a week ; but that would not prevent her being On hand the day following, as. usual. European governments have been in the habit of making New York a sort of penal colony for years; where they have repeatedly sent theif criminals, pau pers and other offenders. This is well known by those who reside in this section, and who have paid any at tention to their movements. Mayor Wood too- well aware Of this-when he petitioned to , the Government to intcrlere and prevent it ; although it is a most dif ficult matter to. prove this' fact ; so far from me local ities from whencejhey were sent. The erovernmeut who ship thenr off almost universally represent all. such as " political offenders," and thus succeed in land ing them upon our shores. The criminals themselves, in most cases, are glad to be released from the prisons and work-houses upon such terms, and eagerly agree to the impositions practiced upon" us. In confirma tion of this, it is needless to more than refer, to the daily murders, burglaries, and acts of violence prac ticed in this city, ninety-cases in every hundred being committed by these foreigners.- In the Summer of 1853, it will be remembered, the Sardinian sloop-of-wai" San Giovanni, having on board upwards of one hundred Italians, who were represent ed as political offenders, anchored in our harbor, and discharged upon our island its precious freight. Many of these were, indeed, what they were represeptejl to be; but others, we have every reason to believe, were but the common outcasts of society. During the early part of the present year another Sardinian ves- sel the frigate De Geneys, brought sixty-four more of these so-styled " offenders " to this city. ,A cor respondence passed between our consul at Genoa and i X Mayor Wood in regard to the affair, in which the first named gentleman stated that they were, to his best knowledges criminals and paupers.- I An effort fas made to prevent their landing, but without avaij. Nothing was definitely proved against them, from the very fact that no certain information could be obtain ed in regard to them.

Taxation ' at least, my artides will h.lve a direct bearinron alf of these subjects, yet, I shall, of necessity; be forced to treat of all, in as condenst'J a state a jx.ssil.le, o Uiake myself clearly understood. These mieKtimw ..m all of vast moment to the people of North Carolina, especially the tax-pavers of the State from the signs exhibited in the Senate -chamlVr l.t winter at Ealeigh, are, ere long, destine! to Ikjcoihim- still more so to all classes of our population. Theio forc, when my articles shall come to hum) if v.,,. deem them worthy of a place in the cobAniiH of. tho advocate, I will take it aR a great favor for vou to publish the same, even though it 1kj in the most ob scure comer. And as I shall earnestly strive to l;ecp them entirely free from all party bias, or sectional bearing, prejudice, or influence, it would afford mc'' unalloyed satisfaction to see every editor in tho State copying them into his columns, and at the same time: making such comments upon them, o he may think their merits may deserve, or id due . from him to th public. I ask this general publicity, not that I am vain enough to suppose that I have the mental ubility and other qualifications necessary to enable mc tt challenge the admiration -and. respect of the most gifted and- intelligent gentlemen of the State by no means. But I do most ardently crave that my remark, poor as they may be, may have the good luck to find their way into the columns of every paper published in the bounds of North Carolina, ami thus ultimately find their way into every parlor and log-cabin located on her soil. If I coidd accomplish that much, I feel confident, such is the nature and vast- importance nf the questions I propose to diicuss, at this particular. ) nurture of time, could not fail to move the intelligent portion of every community in the State to begin to think on matters of such vast importance as those I propose to discuss. And it is well ascertained,' that when we can excite -all 'the intelligent mcn of the Stale to think qosely, wc will soon have discussion enough to elicit' the truth,-and expose 4the faults and errors of any theory or systemthui thoroughly canvassed by the public. And I confess I am sp thoroughly satisfied in my own mind of the many defects in our present plan of constructing works of internal improvements, and managing the financial 'interests of the State, that I am more than anxious to see the whole of our presen t State policy Undergo as thorough and scathing an in vestigation and discussion as' can Ikj given to it by the public. Besides, I think it is susceptible' of proof posi tive, that there has grown up in this State, within tho last fifty years, or more, a kind of political inonied hierarchy an aristocracy that has become so strong" as to enable, it to shape the legislation of the com momrfcalth in such a way as will secure to them, their friends and dependants, all the valuable franchise and peculiar privilege granted by the State to the 1 lasting detriment of the cntcrprize, interesting growth and improvement of North Carolina. : If this supposition be correct, the reader will sec at a glance it will require, a 'united effort on the part of all parties- and sections to break up so old and well organized a monopoly. Henco mv cret d- w ; J o - appeal noi to a party but to the people the whole people of the State to arouse themselves for a thorouKh and searching investigation of our present State policy, especially that portion ifclating to our finances. But. unfortunately for us unfortunately for the growth and prosperity of the State it has become a matter next thing to impossible for any one, I care not how" gifted or patriotic be may be, to discuss any question' of State policy in such a manner as to secure for bin communications a ready, full and free admission ihto all the papers published in the State. There w no great interest discussed freely in the columns of all our papers, but foreign and domestic quackery. Qiuicks of - high and low degreer -Quacks everywhere, and of all kinds, find the means to introduce themselves and , , w - n-. -, , , I Wu "iwu luiruuuce luemseivcs ana issued December 17, 18o4, a Genoese correspondent 1 nonnr.i,a tt;.,, vi - , '.,.,. - j i- "vov. uura tKj uie gcueruus anu connuing mentioned the circumstance of their shipment at that j public in every sheet that is spit from the press in the port, asserted that there was but one political offender ; State the year round. Such favorable access as this among them that the remainder were criminals, who to the public ear. is bevond the mnan of attbiinincr w were palmed off as "offenders." Then there was the ; ny other class of - men in the State. Quacks, alonc shipload of Dutchmen sent over from Belcilum (or Holland), in reference the whom our Charsre d' Affairs sent a letter to the Mayor of this city,, stating that they were all criminals. On their arrival they were arrested and confined in the Tombs, where they were keep for a long time, at a great expense to the corpo ration,, and were finally released to prey upon society at large. The absolute power to return convicts to their native countries is not possessed by the State eovern- ments, it appear. In the last report of the Commis sioners of emigration of New York city, they state j " Occasionally, too, there appears sufficient evidence that convicts for crimes dangerous to socfety are Sent out by the governments or other author ities abroad. It would be desirable to return all such to their own countries : but this" direct power is not etfanted bv j o j the existing laws of the State." In consequence of this great Influx of foreigners have their miserable, arrogant puffs, week after week paraded before the public, without comment', unles it be a favorable one from the editors, who hot unfrc quently, to accommodate this most deserving of all chvses of men, will, besides giving his worthless no- trums a handsome editorial notice, copy tho most ) - flp i a 11 . uutiayeuua puua mm meir papers, as of their own selection, purporting to come from some one or more 1 leading journals of the country. When I see such liberality arid ochcert, oft the part of the press, in upholding and propagating quackery of all Borts, and the tremendous results that are following after, and crowning their labors, I dewply lament that there is not more of this same spirit of liberality on the part of the press extended to far more deserving men and measures. But little, bigotted, blind and niggardly politicians will not let this be ; and this, perhaps i one of the most baneful effects that party drill and discipline has had upon the prosperity of the South. Most assuredly it has provento be a mighty drawback to the growth and improvement of North Carolina.
