Fran Dlckeo'i All the Yar Round 80HIB0DY'8 E80APE. Vlsfthe old town of Limerick are many ffffe houses, built when it was thought hut the town would stretch out by t'lare'g, Jk stead of froing as it did. There is Back flare Street, built of handsome private houses, which were afterwards let and sub let cheap to lodgers many of the lower class of trades-people. It w as in one of these honsos that a reduced gentlewoman -lise Sally Carmody lived, in or about the year 1761. There was a deal of French money sent over in those timen, and some it was thought appropriated it to their own use. Frank Arthur even, when he was build ing Authur's quay, was accused of having got some. I am qtiite sure this was untrue; bet the stnry was believed because, j oir see, in those days, it was thought to be such an impudent thing for a ( atlmlic to : ' l. " I- rr-L.: : T C l ,7 vat, nun un iiic uniuv uejn UHliytJU but the Karl of Lfmertck saved him. How ever this might be, Frank Arthur, being considered mighty "nppinh" (that was the wordj for a ('athotic, was inspect?d, and iwt Ineisolf alone, but all who wero known te be connected with him. Artbur's wife was better born than liimseU', and poor Mis Sally Oarinody was a cotisin of mrs, 'and well known' as such. So she, good old ludy, was uiHlor suspicion also. Miss Siilly being, us I said, reduced, was obliged to take in needle, work to support heraelf. Shewas very skillful at her nee dle, and numbevs of fine ladies used to mono the stairs to her lodgings to entrust her with work they were aarticular about. 'very dangerous in this j6W f ontlewroman. istHl, oeing related to Arthurs wife, she was watched, and knew it. Above all. she lived in constant dread of a fellow lodger, who occupied the rooms on the ground floor, immediately below her"; This woman, who followed the calling of clear starcher, was an acrid, close, communica tive little body very industrious, but very odd in her ways. She was what the neigh bors called "a bitter Protestant;" conse quently, she was employed by all the Prot estant ladies of Limerick, and was, more over, a weekly pensioner of some religious society. Tiy Hiss Sally, the little Protestant clear-stareher was looked upon as a spy, and dreaded and avoided accordingly. One day a'huudsome carriage stopped. at the door, and a lady of modish appearance having inquired for Miss Sally, alighted, and ascended the stuiiso her room. She had some very fine work with her, and concerning this she bad a hundred instruc tions to give. Miss Sally remembered af terwards that while she was talking about the work the lady's eyes kept glancing here and there rather curiously. But as this was by no meant nriusnal in her fine lady visitors, it caused her no uneasiness at the time. Her enstomer at last depart ed, and Miss Sally resumed hor occupation, suspended daring the rather tedious direc tions to which she had to hearken. The visiter's sharp ores, however, had not gone a-pryiHg in vain. Inside the front room there was, as I have-often seen in those old houses,' a little room or closet, without any Window, only lighted by means of a glass door connecting it with the apartments without. It came one snbs 2untly that the fine lady spy had seen the liadow of a- man inside. In less than an half aq boar the Whole street was filled oldie rt, and np tb Mies Sally's room they earns to secure their prisoner. They knew he had not had time to escape ; they also knew that from the closet there was no eeond outlet ; se whew they were in the room without, they were sore he was trap ped. Inter the closet,1 then, they thronged, General Duff a their heed. But the room was apparently empty. ' : It waa without famitare, tare a mattress, a oh air and a tables eawhioh were the rttmainsef a meal. In one corner waa little heap1 of firewood but not large eiwttgh -to ojoneejU araan.- For a moment the soldiers were takes' Wk-TturtMMen they were-reassured. . . There wa a tricked p fire-place it the ream: aU KhumJ it they all gathered.. At that ! there was-a a called hearth money, and people used to 'build a sort of watt bhoka, t aeonnd the Arepiace, that the, Iaapector i might see when he came lhC they ' Blades nse -of it. Aye, and maybe, iwhe he'd tan his back, the brides would beiakeft dOwa until the time fbp-the next visit. : However, as luck would have it, ICsl Sally; had really no use for this fireplaoftf 2 anppoee tt waa as maoh aa-ahe oould do, poo iadyto keep itp the fire, in I: And it se happaaed that the brioke were mei aad firmly rbailti and even plastered aiver,; and h(y reached te within. aonple of feet. ftwuv A ieeiUBg, ' There was just room for a man inside, and down there, as the soldier gueeeed, tbe poor fugitive had dropped. He had only a ftw minute do Im- of thfu ooawng, and catching up hatuhet that was id the corner with the firewood, he had just had time to clamber up and gain hi temporary place of refuge when they broke in. With a throbbing heart be listened to their threat, their crie of Mirer, their oaths. He beard them asking if it would not be beet to shoot down upon him, and kill him in hi lair. But Gen. Duff bawled out. "So, no! not for a hundred thou sand pounds. He must be taken alive I He cannot escape us ; pull down the wall and he is ours.!" They then set to, and worked hotly; and what with the knock ing and hammering, and crushing and fhoBtln, there was such an, uproar as was r. Lear-?"-before in poor ii aUv ? pose, their purposed prisoner had again baulked them how was plainly to be seen. While they were uprooting the bricks that screened him from Jhein, he seeing, or rather feeling, that there was no hearth atone under lus feot, had conceived the hope that by cutting away the floor, he might drop down into the room below, and no have another chance of getting off. With the hatchet he had caught up; he fell to work, the noise he made completely drowned by the uproar without, and some minutes before their object was effected, he landed in the room below. jir' Instantly the alarm was givey by the soldiers nearest the hearth place. Some of their number remained above, while the rest hurried down to get into the room be low. Bat here was another delay, for the woman who occupied it a good Protes tant, as several of them knew, and there fore not to be snADected ef voluntarily har boring a French snv. Cfor such thev de- Plaredthe fugitive to bo)-was absent - - . -i . - lent, and k- J ., i o the door was locked. Some who had hur ried round to tho back of the house, found the window to thin room fast bolted on the inside, and there was no other outlet from it. With a shout tiiey announced their cer tainty that the Frenchman was still in the house oaught in his own trap. So thev called for a crowbar to break open the door -ftnd seir.e him at last. Somehow, none of tnem ventured to follow him through the hole-he had made in the floor and ceiling. They knew he must be armed thev had abundant proof of his energy and despera tion ; and the bravest man that ever step ped might well be pardoned for not adop ting a means of descent sm to he f&tjilun But. inst aa tHe nrnwhtr tvfca k..nt fn 1 be put into' requisition, there was a cry of "Stop ! Stop," from a female voice in the crowd, and presently a little woman, great ly uumeo. ana excuea, oame elbowing her way towards them. "Oh, general, honey," she cried, "sure ye won't break open my little room? I have the key some where only wait a minit I" and the little clear-stareher fumbled desperately in her pockets and in the bosom of her dress, vowing the while, as well as she oould apeak, that it was the "Lard sent her baok from her errand in time to prevent her little place from being smashed 1" Still the poor creature was so frightened and so confus ed that it was not until the general, losing nil patience, had again called for the crow bar, that the key at length made its ap pearance in answer to a despairing dive imo me aepins or a-capacious-pocKet. it was snatched from her, the door was flung'' open, and the men "-poured in. In a moment every jrootc and cranny was ran sacked in vain. ' There was no trace of the fugitive, and they were entirely at fault. The window shut and bolted on the inside precluded any. idea of escape in that direc tion ; the fire cheerfully burning in the large grate as effectually proved that he could not have ascended the chimney ; he was no where in the room, vet was plain to all beholders the aperture in the ceiling oy wnicn ne naa got aown. Ana loader than the cries of the angry soldiers were those of the -little olear-stareher whose apartment had been so unceremoniously disfigured. The captors were outwitted by the devil himself. But the evil one had no need, even were he so inclined, to interfere in the matter. The little Protestant olear-ecrateher had contrived very cleverly to outwit the sol diery. That she was odd in her waya was certain ; for, while every man, woman or child, except herself, was In commotion on the arrival of the military, she remained at aer wasn tab, robbing away and listen ing to the upi oar and brows overhead, as if nothing at H UTjusual were the matter. There she was, when the wiling gave way. and the poor hunted Frenchman, pale ana eovered with dust, stood before her. She never cried out or even spoke; she just looked at him eeoond, then pointed to the. window; Ire sprang eut, and hastened In the direction she had indicated. The little Women dusted the windowslll where he had left the prints of his feet shut the window, bolted" H on the inside, threw some 'fresh fuel on the fire, and mingled trnobeerved With the people m the street. ",rvef the Frenchman was, he was saved. ' When ke jnntped out through the window1 lie" made off across a garden, on through trther' gftrdena, out Into a field where some men were digging potatoes.

The soldifrs never found him, and thefsg itive got safe back to France. It was not rightly knows what he was; some said one thing and some another ; bet from what General Duff cried out when the sold iers waited to fire down on him, it was be beved that it most be somebody of great consequence. The poor people said it was the King of France. So it was. AH OLD FLORIDA CITY. A correspondent writing from St. Au gustine thus describes that ancient city : St. Augustine has beea often deeenbed perhaps too often to make another dor scripfton interesting. Yet 1 shall venture" it beoau9aeach new view or picture ot M putue may ueveiup soraeiuimj no eeen. pi any junusr aruav , joaiaes, eescr like colors is a piotuve, are. geAeralt,' gotten as soon as that scene of tfhe pv rama lias passed by. And againK the 'f'rf Oune audience is constantly changing, anl always large, so that some portion off$t will be likely to be entertained, if histoA does rtpeat itself. After crossing the ferjy and some twenty rods of causeway over Ja tide. covered flat, wo enter a narrow lane, with a fine large mannion upon either hand; that on the left owned by Mrs. Aa derson and her son, " the voung Doctor," formerly ot New York. 1? bey have about a thousand orange trees in bearing, or nearly ready to bear, planted upon the twenty acjreH surrounding the house. Several lmes of evergreen hedges have been planted us protection to the orange trees against the effects of severe ndrth east gales. The troes upon this place, s well as every other one I have examined, are vigorously healthy, although some of the leaves and twigs shown me by Dr. Anderson exhibited the marks of some disease occasioned either by insects or fun gus, which gives them a blighted appear ance when very prevalent. With good culture, and food for growth, this disease does not injure the trees. If neglected, they become Hke all other neg lected fruit trees, scrubby and unproduct ive. Opposite Mrs. Anderson's, Mr. Abiah Gilbert, late of Butternuts, Otsego county, N. Y., has bought a place of nine Seres, and a fine large mansion, built by Captain Cobb of the old Liverpool and New York line of packets, Mr. G. paid $10,000 for this place, which is considered " dirt cheap," although in bad order, owing to having been occupied as a hospital by the -army. These two outposts give the traveler who approaches by this route (which, with the-' exception of tho one to Jacksonville, is. the only approach by hud) a favorblm,! pression or st. ABgwauue. xeaving tnese, a tew rods bring him to the head ot .jge Plaza, where he seos the old mansion fT the Spanish Governor, now owned and occupied by the United States Courts, Post-Offlce, &c. It is a two-story stone building, in the form of an L, with a broad piasza, above and below. It stands within a walled enclosure of several acres, which was once a splendid garden, filled with flowers, tropical plants and orange trees. The building was shamefully abused by the troops quartered there, and has now a sadly dilapidated appearance. One of the lower rooms has been roughly fitted up as a Post-Offlce, by Dr. Benedict, Postmaster, formerly 'in charge of the" TJtiua, N. Y., In sane Asylum, but for several yean a resi dent here, and on the St. John's, and a great sufferer by the Rebels in the early part of the war, as he was ever an unyield ing Republican and opponent; of secession. Formerly, no man would have dared to have the Tribune or anv similar paper ad dressed to him by mail. Now they are taken freely, both daily, weekly and semi weekly, and read openly, and the Post office is a sort of public exchange for Union men, as Dr. B. is a most pleasant, intelli gent, sociable gentleman. In front of the Court-House, and open to the Bay, which is about 80 rods distant, lies the Plara, or public square, a green sward, dotted with trees, but marred by two unornamental market houses, upon the end nefxt to the water. Upon the north side of the street, bordering the Plasa on that side, stands the old Catholic Church, whioh has a bell made in 1682, as that date is cast is the metal. The present church, however, ap pears to. have been rebuilt in 1793. The large, three-story building that wo see in the rear of the Court-house, as we: enter the town, is a Franciscan Convent. The holy mother Church owns a good deal of property, all about town, much of it jn a dilapidated condition, as she is literally too poor to take decent care of it The Prot estant Episcopal church confronts the old Catholio one, as it stands on the south side of the square, and is a respectable looking edifice, bat has only a small congregation. There is, a little way off, a neat, small Presbyterian church, and in another di rection a boilding belonging to the Metho dists, but there are no white members. The majority of the people are attached to the Catholio Church, and the leaders have always bean able to control everything re lating to municipal affairs. The finest residence oa the public square is that of Dr. O. ' Bronson, formerly of "New : York, but bow apparently permanently fixed in this place. At least be is satisfied, after 80 years searching this and foreign, coun tries, that he has never found any place so desirable as this for a residence all (he year round. The house he oocnpiea waa built by Peter Sken Smith, brother afOer Hi Smith. Opposite Pr, B. on the main north and sooth street through the town, stands the former residence of Judge?

None of the streets have sidewalks and some df the houses are built with a base to the waft, to keep the oarC wheels rrcm raking the windows. A great naay of the houses have overhanging balconies, and in some of the narrowest streets two men could shake hands from opposite gal leries over a passing cart. The greatest portion of the old houses are buiK of " eo quina rock," from a quarry upon Anastatia Island, opposite the city and directly in front of the inlet through the onto- ndge of white sand hills that bound the bay or "Mantanzas River." This rock is merely a conglomerate of small shells, not decom posed but simply agglutinated together so firmly that the mass can be cat into blocks of any aUe or form, from one to tea thous and pounds weight. To make a handsome, smooth surface, a workman hews off the rough edgos with an az at easily as he would a block of wood. The Mocks, laid up with cement, make a better and much cheaper wall than brick. There are walls here that have stood 800 years or more ; but, like all walls, they are subject to crumble to decay and ruin when left, nn cared for, to the action of time's knawing tooth. The material, however, is a good one for building, and the supply inexhaus tible, and it will be furnished cheaply whenever Yankee skill and capital are applied to the work of quarrying, dressing and transportation. It can be moved bj rail into boats, and landed within half a mile of any spot where it is required, as tho peninsula is less than a mile wide where the town is located. It is impossible to fixthe date of erection of any of the most ancient buildings of this ancient city, since it has been several times besieged, the people driven into the castle, and a greater portion of the town destroyed. There are 'some roofless walls, however, that are extremely old that of th old Spanish Treasury building fa one. appears to me that about one-third ot many of them have been thus so kmc that all vestiges of wood-work hav disappeared, yet the coquina walls stand as firm as they did an hundred years ago. Some of them show that the buildings were immense structures. Indeed many of the "old Spanish houses" now occupied are designed upon the grandest scale. Here, for instance, is the form of one. It extends from street to street, perhaps 150 feet, and is 40 feet wide, including the piasxa of the second story underneath, which is an entrance to the court through a gate. There 1s also a n' xza overhanging the narrow street, m which you enter the street door into a broad hall that extends hack to some of the store rooms in the rear. Out of this hall, doors and windows open into rooms on a level with the ground, th largest of jivu u upeu iui a ui mug-rvom. iwv broad flights of stairs ascend from, the first to a duplicate hall and room on the second floor. There are also lodging rooms on the third floor. "The grand saloon ex tends across the whole front of the second story.' At the left of die entrance into the court is a garden, enclosed by a high co quina wall, so that none but the occupants of the house can see the fldwen, unless they look from balconies of adjoining houses, built after the same general plan. Behind the gardens are buildings for various purposes, including kitchen, which fashion and the system or slavery have dictated must be separate from the main house. Most of the houses have Wells of hard wa ter, walled square with oeqnina, 'and but few have cisterns. The wells are all shal low. I have not seen one fifteen feet deep. Of course gardens might be easily irriga ted, as the water fa often only six feet be low the surface, while the earth is suffering with drouth.- The soil to mostly aaad, filled with broken shells, and, when only moderately mattered, appears, to me is be prod active of all kinds of garden vegeta bles, and of course flowers are perpetual.
