IV. 8aiit St. Marik, Aug. 20, 1852. The voyngc from Mackinaw to tliis plnco was a very pleuaant one. We Imvo lioen blessed witli fine weather since wo loft Columbus up to this present wilting, with a prospect of inoro of tlto same sort ahead. Wo left Mnckiuaw nbout. throe o'clock on Wednesday morning, and after forty miles nm entered Ihe mouth of llis St. Mary's river, ono of tlio pritiu pnl millets ol' Luke Superior. Tho passage up tliii broad nml mag-1 nificont t I n nm in full of interest. Drummond's island is on (he right of us lor smite distance, unit tlm vast peninsula ol" Upper Michigan bounds m tor hundreds, of iniU' to tho north nml went. Numerous islands, generally covered with evergreen, give n lively ntid bciiutiftil aspect to tho scenery. Dniminoud'a island wns secured to us hy WrnnFn, in the fftmonu Ashhur-lou l rent y of 184.1. Tlio entrance to the Nt. Mary's hits some similarity to thut of the St, Lawrence from Ontario. Ai wn puss up, the rocky shore ntid islands, mid appearance of the water, very often remind one ol tlio lower nutlet of Ih lakes a thousand miles fin ihf-r oii toward the ocean. The river is variable in width, now less thnil half a mi to across nnd soon expanding into a broad lake. The linnks nro generally low, frequently rocky and barren, and covered with low evergreens to the water's edge. In ono plnco on the north, nnd eimt of n wide oxpinao trailed Lake George, hills of considerable magnitude nppenr. Hut tho general face of tho entire country, from I-uko Huron to this place, n dUtnncn of fifty miles, is low, aud ns mi ngri-enllurnl region, very uninviting. Occasionally a nnr-row strip is cleared oil'. Tho wood is needed for tho steamer, hill tlio lund is seldom cultivated, nnd presents a barren, roeky and forbidding nsper-t. It ran never bo of value as an agricultural region. As wo approach tho Soo, tho river beenmu morn reg ular in its width, and reminded mo of tlio nutlet of Ltdro Chnniplain for mmn distance south of House's Point. Thero is considernblo current to tho water, at ono or two points approaching (ivo or six miles per hour. The Kcntrnl diretiou from Lake Huron to tin 8oo'n north-west. After pushing several islands, wo rounded n point mid lo, tho famous Vathof St. Mary, wero visible in tho distance. The white fonm of tlio rapid formed a lino along ihe horizon. Tho town on tho western, and tlio scattered villages on the Itritisli nhoro boenmo vinible. Tlio samo level country along tho sh'iro enntitiucd. After lmving been m long from lite sight of a cluster of houses, the Soo hud n pleasant, comfortable appearand?. Tlio promi ient buildings at first njiparent on the American shore, were the barracks &c, of l-'ort Hrady. These nceu; y tho most eligible groundi fur tlio siio of a future town. If llietfoe over gots to bo much of a plneo, ns we think it must, the grounds now enclosed in tho stockade, nnd those set apart for fort uses, will become very neeessnrv, al most indispensable.

I learn that a strong effort is rooking to induce the United States nuthoritien to relinquish and sell nut a portion of these garrison ground for the uso of (lie town. Thero has been, mid is yet. ;t controversy ntiout Iho title to tho Innd on which the place is built, mid tbii tins seriously retarded its growth, and the erection of permanent buildings, as no ono wishes to invest bis menus where there is a doubt nbotit tlio title to the bind upon which lie builift, This dillictilty is serious, nnd slioiitd bo removed ns soon as possible. Every interest demands it. The traveler who goes, to the Son with an idea of seeing n floiiriOiing, well onlereil, mid improved iitwn, or village, is destined to be sadly diinpioiiitei. There nro ovidenres of improvement in tho erection of new buildings nnd llio ndditiona to old mien. lni thero in a wonderful verge fttr nioro improvement yet. I will f first Seiik of Ihn fulls, nnd tho geuernl features of the rountry, and then eomo back to Ihn town, &c. The falls, or mure properly spenking, tlio rapids of the fit. Marv s Utver, are nbout thrce.qiitirters of n mil in length. The river is nearly or quite that width at tho point. There is a descent of thirty foot in this distance. At no place is tho water apparently deep. It run over a bed of huge graiiito bowlders, which fnrm the feature of the hindjjjra bouts. The water is remarkably Hear and Here is Ihe great trout fishing point, Tli'tJl t""'1 hero rau;;ht, weigiiiiig irom lour to irTi.tiuiid. 1 nu ut-st ones nro raiight while tho Cannes nt tho Indians nre being pushed up the rapids. The fisherman tikes his post in the centre of the canon, nnd. whilo thn men in the how ami the stern are pushing the craft up the rapid he trolls bis book along the boiling waters, till it is caught by these most bo mtifiil anil excellent of nil fish, nnd at once they nre hauled on board. On ill. Canada shore, thero nro several small stream that nre nparatod from the main body of the water, nnd run over this rocky bed. Here is n cnpital place for trout tiihing, though they nro generally less than a pound in weight, lleing no niunleiir in tlm piscatory linn, I did not try my linnd at iho business, I carried the Jiik for our Capt.

V. Haijt St. Mahiic, August 2 Tho Hritiah ((uveiuuicut lurtncrly hi'pt tip military past on the east iido of the rails, nnd the buildingi now remain. They aro now occupied by iho Hudson Ray rur Company. This is n point of some importance to them, as iho furs they rollrrt on Lnke Supe rior nnd it Militaries pa to Montreal, &c, on tlii rente, i ure are but tew persons now stationed tie re nnd it is losing its relative importance, as the heavy operations nt the compmiy are now farther north. Ho- low tho old Fort, and on the Imuk of the river, is th Custom Hoti.te. There is not much business trnnsnde here. The principal curiosity is the truined dogs that in the w infer tnke thp malls from biro to Toronto, across the vast wilderness, a distance of 4 1)0 miles Tlio sledge tu which they nro attached is thero to be seen- There nre scattering homes mi tlm Cnnndn shore, for two or three miles below the In I In, inhabited principally by halt breeds and Kf meli. They cnltiv ite very little litid, and subsist mainly by li-liing. Tho town, on the American shore, has pome two or three hundred inhabitants. As usual nt nil business points, there Is a smart sprinkling of Yankees here. but the muss of the ppulniiuti is made up of half breeds, descendants of tho Indium nnd French toya-If ", Sio, A railnwd begin at the wharf, and pasting through the ininrlpnl itroet, terminates at a wharf abovs tho Falls. This road U about a mile In length, it boilt with flat rails, and ran with hoim. It la , very grent improvement over the old wny of portage, and the owners no doubt find it profitable stock, as everything taken up or down tlio lakes, to and from the Iron and copper mi no, must pass over this rond. Tho soil is a loose sunt I. The streets are not paved or planked, and there is nothing but a bed of suml for the traveler tu wude through or over, Tlio side walks aro not paved imr planked. Some hits are planked in front, but these nro the exceptions, and not the general rule. There is one enrringe in tho town. This was imported this season, and is more than sufficient for (lie demand, as I did tint see it out whilo thero. Tho reason of this is, that there is no mad leading to any place out of the village, Ono street is open west to a sort of fnrm nbout n mile out. These things will bo improved herenftur, us the town improves, and visitor (luck Imro to enjoy the cool, delightful summer ntr. A plank road is now building alongside tho railroad, nnd will be (imshod another season. The St. Mary Hotel and tho Van AnJrn Himte aro tho two principal hotels in tho place. They aronoi. thor of them largo. Tho Ruck eye. House, in Columbus, has more capacity than oilhor of Ihem. But they nro well kept nnd coinfortnbla places of resort. Mr. New-coriuk, fnrmerly attached to the AVif House, is nt the head ol the St. Martft. I stopped wilh him nnd found everything neat and in order nhniit the premises. There is, no doubt, money to bo made in tho erection of n first rate hotel nt tho "Koo," ns the present houses aro crowd ed beyond thir copacity for several weeks during the summer. This want will soon be supplied, for, where the carcases aro, the eaglet, &c., will not be farolf! I took n stroll from the Fort back, through u mend ow.tnto a graveyard. This was thoroughly overgrown with bushes and shrubbery, ntid presented n desolate npprnriinco. There wero a few tomhHtuni's of white marble, but tho most of them wore of wood, with the name, age, and country of tho deceased p tinted there. wiih black paint. From tho number of soldier'n graves about, I inferred that It was specially for tho use of thn garrison. If so, it i a tduimu to Ihem to let remain in so dilapidated a condition. A few hours of the time that is ho lazily spent nbout the barracks would inn Ito it n pleasant, desirable place of resort, as there aro several limutifti cedar and pine trees in the iichmuro. (Jtnto a largo proportion of tho soldiers hurted there I noticed were Irishmen. Mv observation has led mo in believe that a majority ol thu rank nnd hie of our nrmy are of foreign birth. This fact is worthy of re I led ion, nnd opens a fi'-hl fur speculation' but 1 have no time to enter upon it at present. The town clusters around tho foot, of the falls, nnd is not now on the most pleasant ground, I think that ultimately, the pleasnntest street will boon the river bank, below tlio fort. Hero is n fine natural position for residences, facing tho river and Cnunihi, and wilh beautiful, gradual slope to tlio water's edge. This river does not riio. and fall like our Ohio streams, but remains very nearly nt the same point the enliro year. The attraction of tlio pluco must ever ho confined It icily to the fills, ns lb ore nre no resorts in tho neigh borhood worthy of attention. These, however, lire perpetual, and, with the cool atmosphere, nnd henltb of the locality, will always mnke it a desirable place of summer resort. Tho rnpids resemble Nhignra above ihe falls. They are not liner or rougher thou several id toe points on the St. Lawrence between Ogdensburgh nnd Montre al. U is ono of the exploits of the place to get into birch bark canoe, with two Indians, and perform the voyage up and down the entire extent of the rapids. Tlio Indians hnve found the bent places, nnd, standing ono in iho hnw, nnd thu other tu the stern, with a set ting polo in tiaiul, limy will tnrco the canoe up, over these boiling waters, in a wy that surprises tlm looker Arrived nt the still water above, they Iny down their pules nod seize the paddles. Having selected their ehtitr, they cuiuinenco the rapid descent. For tliroe-l'Hiirlhs of a mil", the frail bark rsuoe is tosu'd alintit on tho Itreakors in n maimer that seems to threaten ils instant destruction. lint the pilots know their business, nml wiih great, nkill, they steer their rnff ch ur of the melts, and soon emerge from ihe while cupped waves into tho clear deep waters below, This is mi exciting trip, but really not dangerous with the Indians tor guides, hm it is performed several limes very day, and m nccidenti occur. k special pjiui lu examine the route of iho pro posed canal around these falls, nml I found tlm H- ptruetioii tniielf ess formidable tlnin 1 expected. It is thamc. a burning ding race lo our Government, tt neglect thii great work another hour. We, of tin United States, liTtve a fir greater interest in the until rrupted navigation of Lake Superior than has (treat Itnliiin. Ouiropper nnd in tit interest nre immense, ind are rapidly increasing. Last year, nearly tiro Arm-Ucil fhoumnttl barrels in bulk of provisions, muehinery, ivc, passed round Hie talm to the lake, unil over errn hundred thousand doUara in vnliio of iron, copper, iv.c, ere sent down to Detroit, Cleveland, riltshnngb, &.c, ds year it wilt probably exceed a nilion of dofia-a. All tliis important interest hr,s grow n up in ipilr of the rioiis obstruction nt this place. The tleet of nteam Misemployed, ts ConiioAi'd of three propeller Utld one side wheel bout. These boats have been built nt some points below, and, nt great enst ntid enonnoits expense, have been literally hauled over the mile u! land, to deep water above iho falls. It is a serious, nvy job to do this. It costs nt least five thojiHtiud dollars, nnd takes mouths of time. The llritish government in mmti ready limn thedenm- gognes ol mir Congress to meet this great public want, and a party of surveyors is now utirvcying and loc itiiifi a canal round the rapids on tb (?niiuda shore. This will be built in n short lime, to our utter shame and lisgiMce. We must thus become tributary to our ene my, or I'nugrcs must muster energy nnd patriotism iiough to make mi appropriation for this work on our own roil. I tint not go over Hie ItritiHi ground, but from the hirinniinn of the bind nnd the sliaiioof the river ii is evident to mo that a canal on bo built on our side ;tt less expense mill Willi less utttnnm thnil the proposed one on ihe British side. The river above, runs in nearly an eastern rmirse. At the fallj, it turns gradually lit the south-east, nnd below, the water runs in neatly n southern course. The railmnd runs across this neck, and is nearly straight. The cntial would follow about the same line, nml would he straight, nnd about ohe mile in length. It is proposed to dig it one hundred feet wide at tho lop nnd seventy-five feet wide at the bottom. It is tu be twelve feet deep, nnd ihe locks are to bo at least three hundred feet long nnd about fifty feet wide Ah llio full is thirty feet, two or threo locks will bo necessity. Tho enliro work, of this magnitude, will not cost over thee kundwl thout and dollar.

There aro no hieh points to cut through. H is the same ground over which stentn- hunts aro drawn. It is in every sommpnicticahlo and desirable. It is eminently a national work, as it opens a vast inland sen to our commerce nnd industry. We aro nil interested in the success of tho iron and copper mines nf Luke Superior. If tlio members of Congress could bo taken lo the spot ; if they could see Iho char acter of the obstructions; the labor nnd cost in getting the lb hi r, A-a, of I he lower country to iho mines, nnd the cost ami trouble ol getting those immense masse of pure copper and excellent iron ftom the mines lo the places in the States, where they nre wanted for use could they toe, as 1 have seen, the nature of tho obstruction, nnd tho case nnd comparatively trilling cost by which it rould he removed, I think they would lay n"idn their humbug constitutional scruples, and conclude that tlio t had wnnls Hint needed atten tion ns well as the Rust, Tiie propeller Independence, brought down some forty or fifty tons of copper in huge masses, weighing from two to four and jivt thoMiaud pound end), the most of it perfectly pun' unit solid.

This fine pleasant morning I find myself in the noisy, bustling and thriving city of Butlulo. If I remember right, the last of my rambling epistles was written from the Soo. It is proper to state that we left that place on Friduy noon, on the steamer Samuel Ward, Captain Kastabkook, commander; Mr. IIobmeu, clerk; aud Mr. Gheiioht, steward. Upon this boat I tookny enliro trip from Cleveland to Mackinaw and ' tho Soo, back by way of Mackinaw mid tho city ol Detroit. Simple justice requires mo to say tlint 1 must return my grateful acknowledgements lu Captain Eastauhook, ami nil thu ollicer mid servants, for their uniform, kind, courteous uud obliging conduct during tho entire tiin, Tim Samuel Ward is not a first class boat, having been built live years ago. But it was kept tu good order, and manned with care ami skill, and long may it glide o'er the wave. After a pleasant voyage through St. Mary's liiver, Lake Huron, Ace., wn found ourselves nt Detroit on Sunday morning. Having determined logo lo Buthdo, &c, wo tell the boat nt that place and wailed till Monday morning, for the purpose or coming directly to this place on the May Flower. I mudu my home at Ihe National Hotel, a now, capacious and splendid House, just opened to the pilldic. I have seen no house furnished in better taste, or kepi in better order. It cannot fail to receive n liberal patronage it' it is unstained it nutria. Detroit grows upoii one's regard the more it in seen and known. Its position on tint broad straits is most 'imtiful. Thero is much morn wealth, taste and de velopment llum I Was prepared to find there. Fort street mill Jctlersnn Avenue Imvo private resiliences that fully equal any wo huvu in Columbus, for taste mid beauty. And 1 nm compelled to say tho Detroit citizens Imvo a (freat many more of this sort of residences than wo can boast of. The Peninsular Slato may well feel proud of its commercial capital. On nioialay morning, on loo nrrivnl ol the cars irom o West, we left Detroit, on tho Mai I'lowtr, for Buf- ilo. Before going farther let me pay a merited tribute tho excellent ami run-'iiifieent ai riiiiEeuienl of thu iehii'aii Central Kailroad Company, m their depot iiiildiiigs, Jkc, at that city. The compmiy purchased largo tract of Inud on Ihe river bank, at llio west end f llio city, and has erected thereon Ihu most extensive and complete building 1 have yet seen nnywheiu. The wharf is some 71)0 or 800 feel in length, of excel- ii t nnd very durable construction, with a depth ol water Hullicient for the Urgent class of steam I touts. The freight depot, nil immeiisu building, ex lend a along ihe bank directly hack of tho wharf. The passenger pot is still farther back. Iho company has a very extensive and complete set of shops for the manufacture nml repair ol cars, &.c. It is an immense and eiy complete ullair, ami n llects great credit on tiie enterpriz.u nf the directors of the road. Alter seeing nil ttiese things, and tho amount of business doing, 1 lid not wonder that the stock ot the Central iMlcliignn road was so far above pur. This connexion in n few hours (irne with Chicago, is so grent nn improvement on the old, lot)'', tedious, route around Iho Lukes, that every boily tfl ileljglilL'it with H, nml it patronage is immenNO, unit tins imt just commenced. 1 no May Hover made a prosperous trip, anil mimed i here carlv Tuesday morning, in about eighteen lours from Detroit. Wo look tho north shore of the ik nnd slopped nt no point between Detroit nml is city. This is ono of tlio strongest nml safest boats tin thu Lakes, n was abundantly tested last winter. wns driven on the rocks hi n storm, nml remained ere the entire winter, nnd wiih got ell' safe nnd sound after the opening of navigation this spring. Such nn event ha no pit al lei in thu initial" of steamboat disas In our trio down, wo passed tho place where the siontiier Atlantic met her sad fain a lew days before. o had several passoii"ers on board our boat who were wrecked nt that time. Tho statements I heard on Ihem correspond with llieso which have hueli iblished in tho papers, I have seen no sullicient ex- use, unit 1 can scaicely conceive o anything sulhcleiit i) excuse tho pilots, Mm;., for bringing about this terri ble calamity. It wa not a foggy night, hut calm ro- murk ably calm nnd clear as is usual on the Lake. There was no doubt that each boat saw tho other distinctly, at n distance of one or two miles. And Lako I'.rto is wide, enough to numit llio passage ol two nurU mis, especially nt the point where tho collision took ace. 1 have not been able to sati-lv myself which boat was the most to blame. But it exists Komeiehrrit, be yond nit doubt, nnd it will probably lie found on both sides. A thorough examination is demanded, and the guilty ones should bo held to n severe necountability. lew exnmjiles jnif ftc made hetoro litis reettlt'NH (lis-gard for lite will reuse. Tliis niorninc I take n trip thirty miles southeast of this place, to visit some old friends at Springli'dd, from whence, dear render, yon will prohly hear from me again. 'I tit; KniTon... Political.

That Is whn1 the British desire. That is what thu Locufoco party in this country are mining to accomplish, nnd Irishmen heretofore have been helping Ihem to do it. They ice through the gnme now, and wonder how they were so long deceived. They did not love tho British govern inent when they left Ireland, ami they do n't intend to piny into their hands hero, if they know it. We slia.ll publish his article soon. It will be read.

Tho following is ono of the cleverest essays we liavo met witli for many a day, Similar in style, it is not inferior to Franklin's best: When I was a buy. it wns mv fortune to breathe, for it long time, whnt sumo writers term tho bracing air of poverty. My mother light lie the tnrl upon tho form which once enclosed her sweet and gentle spirit was what is called un ambitious woman; for that quality which overturns thrones and supplants dynasties, finds a legitimate sphere in the humblest abode that ihe shadow of poverty ever darkened. The struggle between the wish to keep tip appenrnnecs and the pinching gripe f necessity, produced endless shills nnd contrivances, nt which, we nro told, some would smile, and some to whom they would tench their own experience, would sigh. Bit'. let ine not disturb the veil of oblivion which shrouds from profane eyes the hallowed mysteries of poverty. On one occasion, it wns uecessnry to lend me on an errand to u neighbor in better circumstances limn our-selves and therefore, it was noceisory that I should bo presented in the best possible aspect. Groat pains were accordingly laken to eivo a smnrt appearance to my patched nnd dilapidated ward ro ho, and to conceal the rents and chasms which the envious tooth of time had made in them ; ntid by wny of throwing over my equipment a certain savor and sprinkling of gentility, my red and toil Imrdetied hands were enclosed in the unfamiliar casing of a pair of gloves, which had bo-longed to my mother in days when her years were fewer and her heart wns lighter. I sallied forth on my orrnnd, nnd on my way encountered a much older nnd biger boy, who evidently belonged to a family which had all our own dragging poverty, ami none or our uprising weulth ol spirit. His rags fairly Haltered lu tho breeze; his hat was constructed upon tho most approved principle of ven tilation, ana Ins allocs, from their venerable niitupiity, miidithnve been deemed a pair of fossil shoes the very ones in which Shein sliti filed into ihe ark. He wns tin impudent varlet, with a dare-devil swagger in Ins gait, and nn " I'm nsgood nsyoti " leer in his eye thu very whelp fo throw dirt nt a well-dressed horseman, because ho was well-dressed; to tear a hoy 'a rullles, because he was clenn. As soon as he saw mo, his eye detected Ihe piactical inconsistencies which characterized my costume, and, takine mo by the shoulder, turning me round with no gentle hand, nnd surveying mo from head to fool, exclaimed, with n scorn! id laugh of derision, " A patch on both hicct, and glove on : I still recall the sling of wounded feeling which shot through mo nt these words. To parody a celebrnled line by the immortal Tuscan " That dny J wore my gloves no moro." Hut iho lesson, so rudely enforced, sank deep into my mind ; ami, in n ot hie, I imvo had frequent occasion In mako it practical application of tho words of my rngged friend, when 1 hnve observed iho ridicu lous inconsistencies which so often mark the conduct of mankind. When, fttr instance, I ten parents carefully providing for tho ornamental education of their chi dren, furnishing them teachers in music, dancing and draw ing, mil giving no thought to thnt moral end religions training, from which Iho trno dignity nnd permnnent happiness of life can come, never teaching ihem habits of nelf'Racriticn and self discipline nnd control, but minor, ny oxampio, instructing mom in ovil speaking, in unchuritableness, in envy, und in falsehood, 1 think, with n nigh, of tho patch on both knees nnd gloves on. When 1 see a family in cold, selfnh solitude, not ha-hitmdlv wnrming their houses wilh a plow of happy faces, but lavishing that which could furnish the hospitality of a whole year, upon iho profusion of a single night, I think of the patch on hoih knees ntid gloves mi. When I bco a house profusely futtiished wilh tump-tonus furniture, rich curtains, and luxurious carpets, but witli no bonks, or ttoi,e but a few tawdry annuals, I nm reminded of thu patch on both knees nnd gloves on.

A STRANGE STORY. A remarkable circumstance is related by Mrs, Cath erine Crowe, in the Night Side of Nature," as having occurred at Odessa, in 1H-I1. An old blind man named Michel, bad for mnny years been m customed to lm-i his living by si-nting himseir every morning on n beam, in one of the timber yards, with a wooden bnv. i nt his leet, into which ihe pnas'-ngers ent their alms. This onp continued practice had made luin well known to the inhabitants, and as he was believed to hnve been n soldier, his blindness was attributed to the wounds he had received in hittle. For his own part he spoke little, mid never contradict d this opinion. One night, Michol, Ity some accitient.lellin witlm litlle girl named rnwleskn, who was Iriemlless and mi Ihe verreol per ishinu with cold nnd hunger. 'I he old mnti took her homo nml adopted her, and Irom that lime instead of sitting in Iho limoer yard, he went about the street her company, nking nlms nt Ihe doors of houses. The child called hirn Inltier. nnd tliey were extremely hnji py together. Hut when nicy imtt pursued in is mode m wo inr fiv years, a theft having been committed in a house which thev visited in the mornuiL', I nwleakn was suspected nnd arrested, nnd the blind mnn was left once more alone. But, ins tend o resuming his former liabiia. In now disappeared altogether, and this cirrumsinnco causing suspicion to extend tu him, the girl was brought before the magistrate to be interrogated with regnrd to his prohahlo pi tee oi concentnieni, lie you Ktuiw where iMirnei is f inquired tlio ma gistrate. ' fl is (lend ! ' repiien sue, snetniingn torrent ot tears. As the girl had been shut up for three dnys, without any mentis of obtaining infoimation from without, this answer. together with her unfeigned dtafiess, naturally Xriieil COIIS'Uernoin nurpi ist. ' 'Who told yon that he was dead ? ' they inquired. ' Nobody." ' Then how can you know it t I taw him killed.' Hut you hnve nver boon out of tho prison.' ' Hul I saw it nevertheless!' lint iii.w was inni pos-imoT rcxpiain whnt yen menu t I cnmiot. All I enn iny is, 1 saw him killed.' When was he killed, nml how T ' ft wns llietii'-hl I was arrested.'

Where were yoti, llietif 1 I enli't tell, but I saw it.' seThe confidence with which tho nirl asserted what themed to her hearers impossible nnd absurd, disposed mem to linngine that sue wns really insnno.or pretei loir to ho so; stt lenvina Michel nside. thev nroreed interrogate lier nhotit the rob bar v. asking her if sin was guilty. O. no : ' she answered, Then how nimo the properly lo be found nl t yon ( I don t Know; 1 saw nothing but the murder. But thero is no ground fur summnine Michel is dead nis iioiiy una not, as yot, it-en loiiinl.' Il is in the aqueduct.' And do you knew who slew him T es; it wns a woman. Michel was walkim? verv umiy. nuer i wnt inKen irom him. A woman en me hehind him with a large kitchen ki-ife; but he heatil her and turned around; nml 1tn-n 1 he wotmui thing piece of gray stuff over his head, mid struck him re peatedly witli the ftntle.. Ihe gray m lull was mile stained with Ihe hlmtd. Mh hel fell at tbeeiali'h blow. and tlio woman dragged tho body to the aqueduct, nml ueu iei ii mil in wiuioui over lining ine stun unit sine to his face.' As it was oasy to verify these latter assertion, the Jespntched people to llio spot; nnd ihero Ihe body wns lottmi, wiui in piece oi stntt over lus head, exnc ly ns tlio had described, lint when they naked tu le w she knew all this, she could only answer, 1 1 don' know,' But yon know who killed him?' 1 Not exactly ; It Is llio same woman that put out h eyes; but pei Imps he will tell tne her name to-ti i ;1i t. and if he does I will tell you ' Who do yoti menu by Aet ' Why, Michel, to be sure.' During iho whom ol ihe following night, will t allowing her to suspect their intention, they wntrh her; nnd it wns observed Ihnt she never lav down, he ant upon her bed m a tort of lethargic slumber. 11 body was quite motionless, except nt intervals, when this re peso wns interrupted by violent nervous shocks, which pervaded her whole frame. On tho ensuing dnv. the moment she wns hroucht before the judge, she ib clnred thnt she was now able lo tell Ihe name of tho nstnsain. ' But stay,' said tlm magistrate, 'did Michel never tell you, when he wus ulive. how he lost his sie.ht t' 'No; but the morning before I wns arretted he promised me tu dose; nml that canard hia death.' How could that bo I' ast night Michel cntno to me, and he pointed to the man hidden behind the tcsffold on which he and had been sitting;. He showed me the man listening to us, when he said, "I'll tell yott all uboutthat to-night;" and then the man ' Do you know the name of (his man V It is Luck; ho went afterwards to a broad street lhat lends down to the harbor, and he entered the third house on the right. ' What is tho name of tho street V ' I don't know ; but tho houso ia mm story lowor than the adjoining one.

Then I went to ask charity, and Catharine put a piece of nlnte into mv nnr tut thut I might be arrested; then she hid herself behind thu nqueduct lo wait for Michel, and the killed him.' But eiucoyou say nil ibis, why did yon keen the plato? Why didn't you give informationl1 ' Hut I did not soo it then. Michel showed it lu me Inst night.' ' Hut what should induce Cothnrino to do this?' ' Michel was her husband, and she find forsaken him lo come to Odessa to marry again. Ono night fifteen year ago, she snw Michel, who hud come to see her. Sho slipped hastily into ihn houso, nnd Michol, who thought she had nut soon him. Iny down t her doer lo watch; but he fell asleep, nnd I lieu Luck burned out his eyes, nnd carried him to a distance.' Aim is it Michel who has told you this 7' Yes ; ho came very pale, nnd covered with blond and he took me by the hand and shuwed me nil with ins lingers.' Upon this Luck anil Uathanne were arrested, and it wns uareriniucd that she had actually been married to iviiiiieiin me year ion, iu ftlierson. They at first denied the accusation, but Pawleskn insisted, nnd tbnw subsequently confessed tho crime. When they communicated iho circumstances id' the confession to Pw-leska, she said, ' 1 was told it last night.'
