So saying, Maj. Fitzconnell bounced out of the chamber, hastened to the bar, and called the landlord. His interesting bride followed on tiptoe, and listened unobserved. The Maj. inquired 'at what hour the mail stage would pass for New York.

From the London Examiner. THE DESPOTISM OF THE LORDS. "The cry is stiil they come !" The Lords are, it is said, resolved to try their strength, and, if it be true that they are encouraged bv assurances that there will be no creation, they have the comfort and consolation of knowing that if they fall in the struggle, they will not 'fall alone, and more than one hereditary insti tution must be involved in the ruin. With this threatening prospect the magnani mous hostility of the Ministerialists takes its usual direction of a set at the Queen and the Bishops. All the blame is thrown upon the Bishops in the House, and a petticoat in the Court. This is a cowardly choice of objects of attack. To dislodge fhe Bishops from the House of Lords would not abate the vice of its principle, and there is an advantage, while we have a House of Lords, in seeing the fruits of a National Church so frankly exhibited in it. Worthy of the Lords are the Bishops, and the Bishops of the Lords. The People must now sufficiently well un derstand the spirit and character of the House of Lords ; they know that no measure, abating abuses as profitable to the aristocracy as in jurious to the public, has a chance of success in tnat assemoiy. iney see in it an obstinate obstacle to all improvement, but the under standing of its character would be accompani ed with an understanding of its constitution, whence the two things will be viewed in the relation of cause and effect. Responsibility is the essence of constitution al government. The Ministers are responsi ble for the King, the commons to the people, the Lords are responsible neither to the Kingdg and they both knelt as the priest, uttered wiiose prerogative is ine source oi tneir au 1 a1- I .1 thority, nor to the people, who are submitted to their authority. The authority of peers is the only authority in the State which cannot be revoked if abllSPfl. Tfir TCJnrr mol-o 4m.a.s t 411 A Ik, but not unmake, and the privileges which de scend by birth cannot be taken away, except by death. A man who finds himself possessed of power, for the uses of which he is not ac countable,.while he sees responsibility attach ed to all the other authorities around him, may easily come to the conclusion that the power for which he is responsible to nobody, is to be ex ercised for his own particular benefit, and with out regard to the interests or the opinion of others. It seems given to him for the exclu sive care of himself as neither King nor peo ple can call him to account for misconduct. The perpetual solicitation of an irresponsible power is, abuse me ; and its natural tendency . is to the narrowest selfishnes and wilfullness two qualities which are consequently seen extraordinarily developed iiu the House of Mischief. " x lie juiy uuiu uyvii tiiu iiuusc is me pOWei of creation in, the Crown; but this can hardly he saidf to produce a responsibility, as the pow er abused is still continued to the individual, and tin? worthy and unworthy are eqnally affect ed by the discredit brought on the House, col lectively by the royal appointment of a major ity. The more extensive the factious corrup- tiou and misconduct oi the House, tne more injurious to the institution is a creation ; and the Lords have thus the encouragement of knowing that the wider their confederacy a- gainst good government, the more unmanagea ble and difficult the coercion. There is no other institution the errrora and vices of which lkln nnln V. 1 .1 l 1 a jl -m.i ue couquereu inrougn a damage io uie institution itself. In other instances, the pre sent members are liable to removal; in this they remaia fixed, after signalizing their unfit n!, r authrity. The irresponsible J )0r"VA80f.c?u"e vocable.

The contempt mth which the Whigs treated the hte vote caruiot but have its effect. They said the vote mattered no more than the reso lution of so many drunken cobblers. "What .laim to authority to existence, can an assem bly have wbop (derisions ars treated with this scorn? The Whigs will call the thing folly one day and wisdom the next, but the people will not belive that the same tree produces grapes and sloes. , The King is said to be obstinately opposed to a creation ; were the personage of less dig nity we might compare his conduct to that of the toper, who when his friend fell in the gut ter, hiccupped out, "My dear fellow, I can't help you up, but Pll do what I can, I'll lie down by you in the mire." Supposing this is his Majesty's resolution, as it must have been long known to Lord Grey, and equally well known to him that measures of efficient reform were impracticable without a creation, for what, object has he been carrying on the Gov ernment ? Not surely out of complaisance to the Kin?, who can have small claims to his Lordship's zeal, nor with any expectation of renaenng suosiaimm service iu ; peupie. x ne sooner this isseue between the Peers and the natioriHs determined the better, and it is not im probable (if the indiscretions of which wehear be true) that the general question of herditary authority may be involved in it. The Chronicle says, We tell the public that a crisis is again at hand, and that they must be prepared to buckle on their armour for the fight. If our warning voice have no effect, then, as was said in the olden time, "The Lord's will be done." We suppose the Lord's will will be done, even if the Chronicle's warning voice have ef fect ; lor wc are not prepared to pay our con teemporary so bad a compliment as he offers himself when he supposes that in failure of his warning voice, the Lord s will will have effect. As for buckling on of armour, if the necessity arrives, the people will see the prudence of wearinsrit to such Durnose that thev will not have occasion to trouble themselves speedily with it again. They will not buckle on armour to make a Whig House of Peers in place of a Tory House of Peers to adjust the differen- ces bewteen tbe tweedledum and tweedledee; but apply themselves to a settlement of the Government cleared of all unreasonable privi leges, vicious principles, and barbarous rem nants of feudalism. The national quarrel with the House of Peers will be with the institution, and not with the composition of the assembly. The evils of a hereditary and irresponsible Legislature are not to be cured by a Minister's packing. A despotism tempered with puppets were too gross a farce for. legislation." FOR THE SENTINEL. THE PLAIN OF ISSUS concluded. The morning sun was riding high over Is sus and belted knight and belle demoiselle on prancing, war-horse and pacing palfrey, were collecting round the circular enclosure, which a 1 a. 1 . m i was iu oe uie scene oi connici. ine news had not yet reached the host, whose camp was on the vast irregular plain beyond the Pyra mus; the nobility alone were the spectators, and metal was glittering, plumes nodding, and arms clattering on every -ide. The seat of Raymond de Thoulouse, was about midway between the opposite stations of the comba tants. Many a fair and lofty daughter of France looked upon the scene but the beau teous Zoe sat confessed the Queen of Love. In a small chapel about two hundred paces from the lists, were the rival combatants standing on each side of the altar, while the priest was preparing himself for the solemn ceremony, me lorehead ot JUontjoy looked proud, but the shade of wounded 4ionor and deep indignation rested upon it: the arms of Geoffrey were folded, and his countenance blanched, either by anger, anxiety, or watch- the Dommus Vobiscum. The oaths followed each swore that he believed his auarrel "just, right, true and worthy a proved cheva lier, and imprecated the vengeance of the Di vinity, upon him who wilfully maintained the wrong." Two large silver goblets stood on the marble altar, containing the wine, which by the rules they 'were severally to quaff. Each one lifted iSs-arm over them, to touch the cross and swear: as Geoffrey passed his hand over, he dropped the soporific particle given him by Zimri, and withdrew his hand in a startling manner, for it had fallen into his own goblet. "Nought," said he, "but a slight pain," and by a strong effort, he carried his arm to the relic and swore the oath. "It is a courtesy," said the Count, "customary in some lands, and which I deem no more than correct, that we exchange the goblets we hold." The priest bowed, and Montjoy replaced his goblet the exchange was effected each quaffed his por tion, and they left the chapel for their several stations. Montjoy took his stand and was leaning upon his lance, while his horse champed the foaming bit. The mysterious Knight of the black plumes approached. His form was slight his features remarkably deli cate and beautiful, as well as they could be seen through the casque his breast "full, though in in this instance, it was no indication of strength his defensive armour was dark without sign or device andsable plumes nodded over his helm. "Sir Reginald," said he "that lance appears shattered." Montjoy examined it, and found that it was an old staff, instead of the one he had prepared. "Take this," said he of the dark plumes" I warrant it as solid, as ever braved the storm upon the Alps." "I thank thee, sir Knight,". replied Montjoy, "though thou art a stranger to me. I tell thee friendf a dark cloud is coming over me." "I have in deed but lately arrived, yet I know thee well May God help thee !" said the Knight. The heralds, raised their voices, declaring the names of the combatants and the cause of bat tle as they spoke, both mounted their steeds and couched their lances. A short pause suc ceeded the silver note of a trumpet burst on the ear, and the horses rushed simultaneously from their stations. Geoffrey upon a noble charger came on with accelerating velocity, and reached the middle ground before his oppo nent for the horse of Montjoy had turned aside in a walk the lance dropped from the hand of his rider, and he sunk to the ground, ere the weapon of Geoffrey had touched him- As- wmsnment and disappointment overwhelmed Persian barracan around her waist the parti-' zans of Geoffrey cried aloud, "the hand of God the hand of God," and the veteran chiefs smiled scornfully, as they turned their steeds towards the tents. The council of the brave were assembled in the tent of the silver canopy, to decide upon the fate of Montjoy, and it.waVfeared that his arms would be reversed by solemn decree, and that the rising hopes which his former conduct had cherished, would be utterly blasted. It would be tedious and irrelevant to our legend, to describe the noble chiefs who sat in judg mentsuffice it to say, the leaders of the crr sade were there. Old Raymond sat with bow ed head and mournful countenance, for the m ost promising and beloved of his youthful followers, was about to fall and drag his ho nours with him. The fact, that severe and un accountable illness had seized him at that criti cal period, was no excuse or palliation for at this superstitious era, it was inferred, that in such case, the Divinity had, with his own hand, marked out and cursed the guilty. The priest offered in evidence the appearance of Kegi nald at the altar that no indication of illness had there appeared, and many others averred, that he proceeded with a light and bounding step, to his station in the lists, lhe black plumed Knight alone, declared the particulars of the conversation which he held with Regi nald, and pronounced his firm conviction, that it was mere bodily ailment, from some exter nal cause. All the testimony and remarks for and against the accused had closed, and the spokesman of the judgment seat, began to ex press the opinion of the council in the follow ing words : " Reginald, Knight of Montjoy, is accused of disgraceful and cowardly con duct, unworthy of a true knight and proved chevalier" " Tis false whoever uttered it," cried Montjoy, rushing into the tent with ban daged head and swollen eves, " false as hell, or the heart of Geoffrey de Guienne I have been drugged." Imagine, if possible, the as tonished visages of the council the eye of Raymond gleamed with hope he of the dark plumes, cast a scornful and triumphant glance at lhe overwhelmed Count of Guienne, " I de mand trial and acquittal," continued Montjoy. mond de Thoulouse, "that foul practices have been put upon him the noble council is ready to try the fact. "A swarthy leech was intro duced, who affirmed, that from certain know ledge of the symptoms and effect of the ill ness, Reginald had received into his system, some baneful and stunning drug. Perhaps we may ascertain that fact," said the priest who officiated, "if I go and bring the goblets which were used at the sacrament. Their po sition remains unchanged, and I observed that the Knight of Montjoy, left a portion of the wine." The. Bishop of Oranere rose from the council seat, and accompanied him to tho cha - A 'J pel. They returned in a short time, and the priest expressed his certain knowledge, that! this was the goblet and a portion of the wine! used by Montjoy, but that it was drugged, he , seems to be no escape, O that thy potion could could hardly believe. " How shall that be es- J make me indeed young that it could annihi tablished?" said the bishop of Orange to the late-time, and engulph the past in oblivion. leech. " Only bv experiment," replied he in a calm decided tone, "let the Lord of Guienne appoint any of his adherents to the A 14 i , W 1 1 1 tasK. i Know not, said ireonrey, wnatjri, tny experience method this may be called, of trying and un-! trying, but if any one be disposed to abide byj the. tooush trifling of yon base urugger, let him send for my servant Hamet." Hamet was called he was a tall, sleek viperish Saracen, a pretended convert to Christianity, and the con - fidential servant ofCount Geoffrey;- his quick and adder-like eyes glanced round the assem bly, and he looked as if he would have thrust his crooked-billed dirk into the best of them, at a word from his master. " You are to quaff ! this goblet, said the physician, " see if it will lull your quick eyes to slumber." Hamet said not a word nor made a motion, until at a nod from Geoffrey, he drained the goblet to the dregs. The eye of his master scowled upon him, and to his quick perception enjoined unyielding obstinacy. ."A half hour will de cide," said the leech, and seated himself. Mi nute after minute glided away, while the as sembly sat in anxious silence the eye of Ha O J r there seemed no agitation about him, except a met Glistened more ana more brilliantlv. ann gradual compression of the lips, and a quicker heaving of the breast. I he time specified had elapsed, and Hamet was still there, GeoffreyH rose, and with an air of impatience moved for the decision of the council. The eyes of the audience, which had been turned to the speak er, were again cast on the Saracen, and nought of him was to be seen save a hand convulsively grasping the bar at which he stood; it slipped, and he fell prostrate on the floor. " Villain," cried Geoffrey, " is it thus I am betrayed by thee?" and he would have daggered him, had he not been restrained. " Lords and Knights," he continued, "if there be any drugging, the coward Montjoy is guilty, for the priest will prove that we exchanged goblets." This vague exclamation passed unheeded, the sable Knight stepped to the side of Geoffrey, and looking him steadily in the face, whispered something in his ear. " Damned spirit," he yelled, "what! risen in judgment before the time? I own not your jurisdiction ye are all foes I will meet thee to-morrow, boy, and may hell yawn for him that quails." So say ing he rushed homeward, and the astonished council was dismissed. There was great agi tation throughout the camp during the day, and all looked anxiously for the morrow. What a spirit is love ! various in nature and heterogeneous in constitution, he rules with power invisible and irresistible all other pas sions bow and yield to his dominion he prompts to noble actions almost beyond hu man daring, and inspires his votary to the task he leads tp the perpetration of crimes at which humanity blushes and shudders, but which are insignificant in comparison with the loss or gain of the object of adoration. Oh Love! thou art a happy fever a cherished fire a fitful dream, whose wild and thrilling spell now nestles around the neck of her whom the light ioveth to kiss, and now hurries us through ilood and flame and all things terrible. Night had finished more than half her so lemn reigp, and the tenants of heaven looked silently down, upon the mysterious labors of d world. The inhabitants of the I wrapt in sleep, Save a dull sentinel hova ni u- i M . ' , . plain were who might here and there be seen through the j moonlight, by the tent of some powerful chief- tain. Afigurestoodintheshadowofthecrimson tent oi truienne, ine quicn ana easy motion of notion Ol whose limns betrayed Hamet the Saracen. His piercing eye examined the situation fn of the) encampment, and like a serpent, he stole through the shadow of the intervening tents. carefully avoiding those near which a guard might be posted. There was a line of palm- trees and poplars which ran almost diagonally through the plain, and lifted their tall forms and silvery leaves in the cool midnigpt air. There was not much difficulty in reaching this grove, except in leaping from the line of tents to the trunk of a tree, tor here was the greatest danger of discovery. Hamet chose a spot which was considerably overgrown with brush and underwood ; he leaped to a small bush that stood near, and immediately crouching, crept behind the protecting trunk of a palm a mo ment after the shaft from a bow, had struck between his feet. Hamet glanced his eye by the side of the tree, and perceived that a senti nel had shot at his foot, mistaking it for a hare or some small beast, and was hastening to se cure his game. He came up, and on" finding the naked arrow, muttered a murmur of disap pointment, and began to search the grass and brush around, until he came with his form bent immediately beneath the Saracen but the man turned away, unconscious of the bright dagger and brighter eye that glared upon him. A few moments, and a scream, long, loud and startling, rose from the tent of the dark-plumed knight. Again all was silent ; and then a light lambent flame, curled around the cloth that covered the frame work. Confusion distant cries and j hurrying steps succeeded the sa'jle knight was conveyed away with a severe wound in the right arm and by the time the frail tent was consumed, Hamet was stretched upon his cot, disappointed of his victim. The tent of Geoffrey was one of the most splendid that graced the road to Palestine. Its cloth was deep and finely, wrought crimson a golden chain stretched circularly round the in terior, on which;were suspended dresses suited for the proudest assembly, either in court or field and a gilt chandelier of the largest size, stretched its arms from the tall pillar which supported the vault, horning was far advan ced, and Geoffrey was seated upon a soft couch his countenance resembled some ancient rock, beaten for ages by the surf now left in naked ghastliness, the monument of many a shock. "Zimri?" said he, "this is an all im portant day for both of us but I fear with me all is over. The face of fortune is turned irre vocably from me, and my heart shrinks but the Tiger shall not fall without a struggle." "I cannot believe that thy tribe will be extin- j guislied, at least, without dragging with it some awful ruin." "Thou knowest not,"' replied Geoffrey, "I am encompassed aboutwith thick perils there Would to God, memory could be washed white by its stream. "If thy youth were restored," replied Zim- would lead thee in the choicest paths. "True. But to day's contest must be fatal to one of us to be mine. something whispers the brunt is I care not much for life, but to leave her, and to him! horror! Surely the must excite (fate of one who loved as I have, one sigh in her bosom. "Perhaps that bosom may yet be the pillow of the victorious Geoffrey," said Zimri. " I thank thee for that word, Jew give me the drink I pray thee." Zimri took the silver goblet which sat upon the table, and poured a portion into a cup, after it was tempered in the most palatable manner, he offered it to the anxious Count. He drank. "Ah, it hath a divine taste Jew. The thought overpowers me What! youth and Zoe for one, riven, as I have been by the hand of time." The Count clasped his arms, and reclined his face upon them.

Zimri see'st thou that iron casqe? Ah Jew itrestcd upon the head of the founder of the proud race of Guienne. Old Geoffrey was the pillar of the throne of Charlemagne." " He was a migh ty prince and judge over the people," said Zim ri. " Here is a brave lance for thee," said the Count, taking it from its case, " a brave lance !" and he smiled complacently upon it. " Hamet !" The Saracen appeared ; "where wasit my trus ty oak pierced Aboul Hassan ?" Hamet touch ed his breast, " Ha, thou art right slave go carry my destrier and my armour to the station." " Give me thy hand," said he to the Jew, who was trembling with agitation at the probable success of his discovery. " I feel the flush of youth coming over me there must be some thing in it. The hour is arrived, and if I sur vive, all that thy heart desireth, shall be done for thee by Geoffrey and his bride. The hand of Zoe shall bless thee." Geoffrey quaffed another exhilarating draught, and retired to pre pare for the battle, the moment having nearly arrived. The ceremonies previous to the encounter, were performed by the bishop of Orange, and the combatants stood within the lists amid wa ving plumes and glittering armour bright eyes and beating bosoms. Each stood at his post, and with the assistance of a servant, gird ed on his armour for it would have been un becoming, to have appeared fully accoutred be fore a high dignitary of the church, in thedis- cnarge ot tne sacred lunction. The Count of Guienne, though exhilarated bv the draughts ne nao swallowed, gave not the least sign of prostration nay, he was endowed with supe rior strength, though perhaps he was not so ca pable of aiming at his opponent with nicety and precision. " How bright the mitre of yon pure mountain looks he is a lofty and a bold spectator," said Geoffrey. "Hamet? see you that falcon winging his way toward it,? 'Tis an omen if he reaches the top, then victory for me." The light cloud, which 'in his excite ment he had mistaken for a falcon, rode thro' this agitated world. the blue air, and dun near its base?
