Now one year, two years, three years passed away, without hringing any solace to the grief of the Countess: her only happiness upon this earth (next to her religious duties) was, whenever she met a child of the age that Charles would have been had he lived, to say to herself, that perhaps;it might be her son, aud that sh" was falsely persuaded of his death. She approached every such child, and examined him with care, questioned him with eager curioeity, and always ended by d~covering with sorrow that the child was not her son)

One day, on returning from the conntry (where she had been passing some weeks) unexpected by her domes· tics, who were occupied in cleaning the apartments, she saw with surprise, on entering the saloon, a little chimney. sweep leaning against the jamb, He was very sorrowful i and, in spite of the soot which covered his face, might be seen his white skin and his extreme thinness.

THE LITTLE CHImNEY SWEEP. This story is founded upon fact. In London, on the

"But, then, every day does not pass withont work, and then Ihy master does uot whip thee," said the countess.

THE LATE FIRE.-Another body-ori rather skeleton-was found on Thursday, bllrie~ under lhe ruins of the recent explosion. It was'like ex· huming the bones of one forgotten, from the grave A few calcined and discolored bones that seemed ready to pulverize into magnesia at the touch­a smooth piece of a skull-a ghastly lock of hair _these were the only remaining tokens of the living. No-we mistake. A huge bundle of charred Ledgers was grasped unaer the circling bones of the left arm, while the fingers of the I good right hand' clutched among some scattered pieces of gold-precious gold! The skeleton lay crushed upon the steps, and the poor faithful wretch was joyfully making his escape from the burning building with his employer's books and his employer's gold-to say nothing of his own life-safe, safe! What a triumph! what a some­thing to tell of and to be proud of for all time to come, that he had so narrowly escaped the great fire in 1845-escaped after having at the peril of his life secured the books and the gold, and brought them out safe in his own hands! All this said that scorched and blackened skull to our busy fancy as we communed in thought' with its

THE WAR-IN S'I'. DonnNGo.-We learn from the correspondent of th'e Meroh~nts' ~xchange, by prig Almatia, from St. Dommgo City, July 7th, that on the 16th of June the Dominican army started from Las Matas and stopped at Commend· ador, a Dominican post; from thence on the 17th at 6 o'clock, A. M. they marched in three strong columns, the first under the command of Gen. F. Alfaii, to cut off the enemy's retreat; the second under Lieut. F. Pi menter, the third, being Artille­ry with two field pieces, to attack on the right, under Gen. Duverge. At 8 o'clock on the same morning, the third column halted in fr~n~ of .the enemy, forming in order of battle, and gIVIng time for the'first column to arrive and cut off the reo treat of the enemy. At 10 o'clock the signal was given and the general attack commenced. The firing' commenced at three different points at the same time. After a battle of about two hours, and a well. sustained fire from the enemy, the Dominican army made a furious charge, com· pletely routed their opponents, who abandoned four different points which they had previously occupied. Up to the 22d, the number ascertained to be killed, amounted to 100, amongst whom were two officers. Fourteen prisoners were taken, 7 officers, a surgeon, and 6 non. commissioned officers and privates. Some munitions of war were also seized_ On the Dominican side, 2 were killed and 8 woundod' and on tho 10th th9Y waro on tho march, with orders to attack a village about a half a day's journey to the westward j but the enemy had fled, and the place was taken posses. sion of. An official report of General Duverge, (rom Las Caobas, under date of June 25th, also states that the van.guard had taken that place, and were in undisputed possession; and that there was news that Lieut.

THE MILITIA OFFICER. AND THE QUAKER.-Gen. Samuel Fessenden, of Portland, at a recent Peace meeting at that place, took occasion, says the A.d. vertiser, to relate the circumstances of his cOllller-sion to Peace principles_ He had formerly been a war man, and had passed through all the grades of mililClry Offi"9 from the corporal up to the com­mand,ant of a full division. He was on a certaIn occasion going to a military review-riding in full dress regimentals, when he chanced to mee~ an acquaintance, a Quaker. The latter appeared not to notice him as he approached, until he came so near that he was obliged to check his horse to keep from running against him. The honest Qualter then looking up to him with a peculiar significance, said-" Friend Fessenden, has thee got thy Christ· ian armor on 1" The words touched him to the quick, for he was then a professed disciple or Christ, and while riding to the field, and while re­viewing his ttOOps, with the multitude of bristling bayonets before him, he thought of the Quaker and his Christian armor. From thallime he lost his interest in military affairs, and now ranks among the zealous advocates or Peace.

Two of the negroes butch­ered by these brave Bachanalillns have since died, and others are in a very precarious condition.

A JOKE_-A most reprehensible joke was perpe­trated by a young clergyman and some very fool­ish young men and women, on' board the Dela· ware, a few days ago. The victims of this serious hoax are a young gentleman and lady, scarcely at all acquainted with ellch other, who were mar­ried in fun, during the excursion, but found out on getting ashore that the voyage upon which they had embarked promised to be longer than they had intende!l-being for life and death. The gentle­man behaves very gallantly on the subject, and leaves the matter entirely at the choice of the lady. If she chooses to consider herself a bride, he will accept in earnest the hand he took in sport. The lady, however, we believe, is much mortified and chagrined at the affair. The young clergyman who could behave so thoughtlessly ought to travel to Jericho and I tarry till his beard be grown.'

POSTING.-Hutchings, the Daguerreotypist, cor­ner of Canal and Chartres streets, yesterday had hanging up against an awning wst the phiz of a chap with a good, round, Qfen countenance, pre­senting the appearance of a "jail bird" peeping through the iron grates of his cage. This was ef. fected by placing over the plate horizontally and perpendicularly, small strips of black, so as to form squares, through which the fealures of the incarcerated might be seen with admirable effect. Beneath the picture were these emphatic words: " This man swindled me out of Fifty Dollars!"

The Captain-General of Cuba has suddenly de­termined to check the slave trade by decisive snd effectual measures. It had been hitherto tolerated without the slightest attempt at its suppression. At present a vessel engaged in the slave trade cannot enter the ports of Cuba; but the island is very large and its bays and harbors innumerable. You may readily divine the consequences. The kid­napped blacks are taken to some plantation along the coast, their nakedness is covered, they are kept a few days to restore their good looks l and then sent with impunity to every part of the island.

A deputation from the Free Church of Scotland, consisting of Rev. Drs, Simpson, McLeod, and Rev. N. McLeod, arrived at Halifax a few days since. The object of their mission is to ascertain and supply the existing spiritual destitutions in British North America with the means of grace.
