VOLUME. 6 THE MYST ER OF A NIGIIT; OR, THE VEIL. Familiar as we are with the author of the remarkable scene which we are about to introduce to the reader's notice, we never encountered "that same" until to-day. We shall take the liberty to infer, therefore, that it will prove of as deep interest to others as it has to For the full understanding of the accompanying extract it is necessary to promise, that on a cold winter night, a young London surgeon was seated by his cheerful lire, listening to tiie wind beating the rain against the windows, and howling dismally down the chimney, when Ins were interrupted by a visit from a singularly tall female, inullled in a black shawl, as if for the purpose of concealment, and her face shrouded by a thick black veil. Altera prolonged interview, the young surgeon gathers, that the next morning, precisely at nine, his services will be indispensable on behalf of a patient who will then, and not till then, be under the charge of his visitor.

"1 may be mud, to ask your aid, sir," says the woman, weeping bitterly; "but night after night, through the long, dreary hours of watching and weeping, the thought has ever been present to my mind; and although even I see hopelessness of human assistance availing him, the bare thought of laying him in his grave without it, makes my blood run cold!" Just before the hour appointed, the surgeon was at the designated place, a desolate detached dwelling in one of the subuibs of the great city. As he knocked at the door, a low of stealthy conversation in the passage, became audible. Presently, the door was opened by a tall ill-favored man, with black hair, and face pale and haggard as a dead man's. In answer to the surgeon's question, "Am I in time?" the man replied, "2'oo soon, sir; but if you'll step in here, sir, you won't be detained live minutes, 1 assure you." The surgeon walks in, the door is closed upon him, and he is left alone. And now comrnttices our scene: "It was a little cold room, with no other furnituie than two deal chairs, and a table of the same material.

A handful of fire, unguarded by any fender, was burning in the grate, which brought out the damp, if it served no more comfortable purpose; for the unwholesome moisture was stealing down the walls in long slug-like tracks. The window, which was broken and patched in many places, looked into a small piece of cucloscd ground almost covered with water. Not a sound was to be heard either within the house or without. The young surgeon sat dawn by the fire place to await the result of his first professional visit. "Ho hud not remained in this position many minutes, when the noise of some approaching vehicle struck his car.

It stopped; the street door was opened; a low talking succeeded, accompanied with a shuffling noise of footsteps along the passages on the stairs, as if two or three men were carrying some heavy body to the room above. The creaking of the stairs a few seconds afterwards, announced that the nevv-couiers, having completed their task, whatever it was, were leaving the house. The door was again closed, and the former silence was restored. "Another five minutes elapsed, and the surgeon had just resolved to explore the house, in search of some one to whom lie might make his errand known, when the toom-door opened, and his last night's visiter, dressed in exactly the same manner, with the veil lowered as hefore, motioned him to advance. The singular height of her form, coupled with the circumstance of her not speaking, caused the idea to pass across his brain for an instant, that it might be a man dressed in woman's Tlie hysteric sobs which issued from boneutli the veil, and the convulsive attitude of grief of the whole figure, however, at orice exposed the absurdity of the suspicion, and lie hastily followed.

"The woman led the way up stairs to the front room, and paused at the door to let him enter first. It was scantily furnished with an old deal box, a few chairs, and a tent bedstead, without hangings or cross-rails, which was covered with a patch-work counterpane. The dim light admitted through the curtain which he had noticod from the outside, rendered the objects in the room so indistinct, and communicated to all of them so uniform a hue, that he did not at first perceive the object on which 1 liis eye rested, when the woman rushed frantically past him, and flung herself upon her knees at the bed-side. Stretched upon the bed closely enveloped in a linen wrapper, and covered with blankets, lay a human form, stiff and motionless The head and face, which were those of a man, were uncovered, save by a bandage, which passed over the head and under the chin. The eyes were closed.

The left arm lay heavily across the bed, and the woman held the passive hand. The surgeon gently pushed the woman aside, and took the hand in iiis: "My God!" lie exclaimed, letting it fall involuntarily, "the man is dead!" The woman started to her feet, and beat her hands together: "Oil! don't say so, sir!" she exclaimed, with a hurst of passion, amounting almost to phrenzy; "oh! don't say so, sir. I can't bear it; indeed I can't! Men have been brought to life before, when unskilful people have given tliein up for lost; and men have died who might have been restored, if proper means had bocn resorted to. Don't let iiim lie here, sir, without one effort to save him! This very moment life may be passing away. Do try, for God's sake!" And while speaking she hurriedly chafed, first the forehead and then the breast of the senseless form before her, and then wildly beat the cold hands, which when she ceased to hold them, lell heavily and listlessly hack on the coverlet.

"Why?" said the woman, starting up. "Undo that curtain!" repeated the surgeon, in an agitated tone. "I darkened the room on purpose," said tiie woman, throwing herself before hiin, as he rose to undraw it. "Oh! sir, have pity oil me! If it can be of no use, and he is really dead, do not, do not expose that corpse to other eyes than mine!" "This man died no natural or easy death," said the surgeon. "1 must see the body!" And wit'i a motion so sudden, that the woman hardly knew that I.U IKII) slipped from beside her, he Jtore open the curtain, admitted the full light of lay.

and returned to the bnd-side. "There lias been violence here!" he said, poiuW'qr toward the body, and gazing intently oil the face, from which itic black veil was now for the first time rem nved. In the excitement of a minute before, the female had dashed off' ANI) BALTIMORE DAILY CLIPPER.

Sorrow and weeping had left traces upon litem, which not time itself would over have produced, without their aid: her fiico was deadly pale, and there was a nervous contortion of the lip, and an unnatural fire in her eye, which showed too plainly that Iter bodily and ineiitu) powers had nearly sunk beneath an r.c- cumulation of misery. "There has been violence here!" said the 1 surgeon, preserving his searching glance. "There has!" replied the woman. "This man has been murdered." "That 1 call (jroci to witness Ito has!" said the woman, passionately; "pitilessly, inhumanly murdered!" "By whom?" said the surgeon, seizing tire woman by the arm. "Look at the butcher's marks, and then ask ine!" she replied.

Tito sutgeon turned his face toward the bed, and bent over the body, which lay full in the light of the window. The throat was swollen, and a blue, livid mark encircled it. The truth flashed suddenly upon him. "This is one of the men who were hung this morning!" lie exclaimed, turning away with a shudder. "It is," replied the woman, with a cold, unmeaning Btare.

"Who was her" inquired the surgeon. rejoined the woman; and fell I senseless at his feet. And her son it was. A companion, equally guilty with himself, had been acquitted for lack of evidence, while lie had been left for death, and executed. The mother, a widow, without friends or money, had denied herself the necessaries of life, to bestow them upon her orphan boy, who, unmindful of her pray- ers, and forgetful of the incessant anxiety of mind and voluntary starvation of body which she had endured for him, had plunged into a career of dissipation and crime, which had ro- suited in his own death by the hangman's hands, and his mother's shame and incurable insanity.

FORT AT SOI.LERS' POINT FLATS. The following arc the preamble and resolutions of Mr. Vansant, which were adopted in the House of Delegates on the Ist and sent to the SE- nate, which will doubtless pass thein without delay, so that they may be promptly put upon their destination by the Governor. Whereas, under any circumstances it is ex- trernely desirable that the harbors of our chief sea ports should be in a condition to ropel the attack of an enemy by a fortified protection of their most assailable points; and whereas, at the present crisis it seems to this General Assem- I bly more than ever demanded, that the Feder- al Government should give this protection to the city of Baltimore, now the third city in the Union; and whereas the haibor of that city has hut a single that too from its locality and contiguity to the city, believed to be totally inadequate to successful defencewhile the mouth of the River Patapsco, which 1 makes the entrance of that harbor, is loft wholly without protection, which protection may be secured most amply by the erection of a Fort on Sollurs' Point Flats; and whereas favorable reports to this effect have been frequent- ly made by the committees of Congress, and appropriations for the service have been reported, but from various circumstances have failed in being effectually secured; therefore, 110 it resolved the General Assembly of Maryland, That the Senators and Representatives in Congress from this Stato bo earnestly requested to urge to its final passage un appropriation by Congress fur tho immediate construction of the necessary fortifications at Sellers' Point Flats in the harbor of Baltimore. Resolved, That his Kxtcllency, the Governor of Maryland, lie respectfully requested to transrait a copy of the foregoing preamble and resolutions to our Senators and Representatives in Congress, at as early a date as practicable after passage by this General Assembly.

A CURIOSITY. We some time since noticed the fact that the hones of what seemed to have been a man sixteen feet high, were exhumed about sixty feet under ground, whilst digging a well in Williamson count)', Tenn. We now learn from the Nashville Union that they have been put together, and are now exhibiting in that city. The Union its arrangement for exhibition it presents all tho appear- anco of a human skeleton standing erect and measuring sixteen feet from the top of the skull bone to the bottom of the ankle bones, There was suspended by its side the skeleton of a man of ordinary size, and the contrast was truly stiiking. VVlialever doubts may be entertained in classifying this animal, thero can be none as to the (acts connected with its finding and resurrection.

It was found at least I fifty leet below the surface of the earth, and seemed to be wedged in between two The pelvis, for instance, is broken and crushed so that it could not be put together, and its I place is supplied with wood. Although seve- ra! of the important bones are missing, yet in general the corresponding onos arc preserved, so that a tolerably complete skeleton has been found." THE OREGON QUESTION IN TIIE The Washington correspondent of the New York Courier says: I have what I deem good reason to believe that Southern Senators aro unanimous for an adjustment of tho Oregon question by the degree, if a treaty bo made, and that Mr. Calhoun will be sustained in resisting tho notice, so that you may be confident that wc are to have no war. We have a rumor that Col. Benton, who has heretofore refused to indicate his course, lias declared in favor of the notice and for the "whole of Oregon," and some suppose that lie will take the Senators from Arkansas, Missouri, Indiana, Illinois, Ohio and Maine as well as Michigan; but without knowing what the other Senators will do, I liavo tho best tea- son to feel assured that Mr.

Cameron of Femi- sylvania, and Mr. Turney of Tennessee, will go with Mr. Calhoun. "THE WHOLE OF OREGON OR NONE." Tho Philadelphia North American learns by pri vate advices from Washington, that several distinguished Whig Senators will eustain the views advanced by Mr. Adams upon the ra- gon question.

1 WE ONES DA MORNING, JANUARY 7, 1846. COAL GAS. We have often heard that the escape of coal gas was very dangerous, and have now a case in point. Dining divine service, 011 Sunday morning last, in the South Baptist Church, Philadelphia, an accident liap-1 pem to the furnace, which permitted the gas I trom the burning coal to escape and lill the to the inconvenience of the congregation. Several ladies became insensible in consequence, and had to bo carried into a neighboring bouse wbeie medical aid was required tu resuscitate thorn.

IIORRHII.E BRUTALITY. The Natchitoches, Chronicle of tlio 20th records a brutal murder committed on the 10th near Toinpcrj auco Hill, Sabine parish. A man named John McDcrinid, a native of Ireland, beat, bruised and burned his own child by a former wife, aged 1 three years, nearly to death, then broke the ice in a horse-trough and plunged his helpless off-1 spring in. Finding the child dead, ho mounted his horse, bade bis wife farewell, and made his escape. RANDOLPH'S SLAVES.

We learn from the I Colonization Journal, that Judge Leigh, the executor of John Randolph, has purchased a large tract of land in Mercer county, Ohio, on which to locate the slaves, some 300, manumitted by that remarkable man. A largo quantity of land in Mercer county, comprising three or four townships, is now owned nearly altogether by colored persons. BLACK SKA WHEAT. A letter from the American Consul at Odessa, says the stock of! i wheat in port is thcro were about 120 sail of vessels in port, of different flags; I they had not only nearly all engaged cargoes, i hut there was a scarcity of north continental shipping, and high rates of freight were paying to England, Holland and Belgium. DANCING AT THE WHITE HOUSE.

Ex-Presi- 1 dent Tyler has emerged from his retirement. His first public demonstration is a letter in re- 1 I lation to an attack made upon him by the Rev. Mr. Sprole, of Washington, in a recently preached sermon, in which lie was pronounced dovoid of the characteristics of a man and a I Christian, because he suffered dancing in the President's house. Mr.

Tyler says he takes the responsibility of that offence and covetsall the censure. PURCHASING FREEDOM. WO see it statod i that the Rev.
