Seme moments after Lady MoreHe, who came to seek and congratulate her daughter pon what she iraa- lined to be tlie only possible result of the interview ound Ettelle lying in a swoon upon the floor! It was followi by a long and terrioie illness, terminating in a ted.ously protracied convalescence. The town season was at hand before Estelle was able to re-enter so -ciety. They went up to London, and once more the "star of beaut aose upon its world. And tLoush the cloud upon her life settled darker and keavier, day by dar, she was more followed, flattered and couited than before. Thus three yeirs had passed away, when one morning, whiie Ihe family, then occupying thairtown house in Berkely Square, were seated at a late breakfast, and Sir Parke was engaged in read ins aloud from the, uon-den Times an account of the saving of the French ship La 2kc D'Anjon wrecked off the coast nf Al-gitrs Ksttl't vtured a low cry and sank J'aintins from her seat.

This attack was not, as the other had been, fallowed by illness; on the contrary, from that day, the cloud seemed lifted from her head, and even those who hid most admired her face in its shadow, were enchanted to see how brilliant was her beauty in its sunshine! Her feeaith and spirits uaily improved, yet in the midst of alt ihis flowing tide of new life, Estelle astonished her friei.ds by suddenly, in the height of the London season, retiring to her father's country seat, wherashe remained in strict seclusion from the world for eighteen months, At the end of this period, Lord Mottresso-, who had never left England, or lost trace of his beloved Steila, and who was now staying at his castle in Dorsetshire, was one cay seated at brenkfasi when the morning mail was biought him. Among a score' of Jetfets the first that attiactf his attention was a dainty white envelop superscribed in a delicate handwriting. He took that up first and opened it it contained but one word "Comf." The light of an ineffable joy brolce over his face! Oh! he haa waited patiently, hopefully, years, for that word, and at last he received it! Tnanks to heaven in the first instance! and then pushing all the other let ters unopened aside, he sprung up, rang for his valet, and ordered his valise tacked and his horses put to tho carriage. Jn twenty more minutes he lisdreached the railway station just as the cars were about to start, and in three hours he W3s at Hyde Hall and standing in the presence tf Estelle! she looking so beautiful and happy! With the old cb.iva.ric enthusiasm of devotion he dropped at once upon his knee and raised her hand to Irs, tajii "For foi-r years I have hoped and waited fr one word from you, and at last, beloved, you have written, ana lam at your feet, as 1 said, with an un-c' angeu heart." "But 1." the eaid, deeply blushing, while she held both hands to raise him, my Lord, have notan unchanged lit art! for longer than" four years 1 have loved you more than woman's tongue may tell and never mora thsn at the hour in whica we bade farewell, as I thought, forever!" I knew it, beloved! knew it then! knew it always! I never doubted Could I be deceived in the Ueir hrtirt of thewomsn I Wed? No! and that was the secret of my patieicai" he replied, taking his seat on the sofa by her side. "And yet you never inquired, and do net even now ir.qiure, why.

without explanation arid without hope, 1 sent you from my presence, and whv now, without apparent reason, I summon you b.ick." she said, as a shade of the old sianess fell upon her beautiful face. "Your motives, dearest, were, and re your own. Not ui.til your spirit moves you to do so, shall you give them to me! I have full confidence ia you, beautiful Stella! "Confidence! Oh my she exclaimed in a low. deep, thrilling voice. "Why.

what is the matter, dearest!" She looked up suddenly, a smile of worshipping love, breaking like sunlight over her dark fao, and said "Nothing, nothing, my lord but that all your thoughts and feelings are to elevated beyond your poor Estelle's! And yet she would a'mosi choose it so! for could she be an angel she would wish you to be something far hither a sod!" "Sweet enthusiast! moderate your aspirations, or the iudd and its people will disappoint you! Be not an idoiator; worship only God, my Stella." Such was their meeting! Yet, occasionally, throughout the interview, a sudden shadow like the recurrence of a painful thought, would fill upon her bright face and then pass as it cait-e. They were ereaged. and within a few days the mrriage was announced to take place on the first of May. But it was observed by the earnest f. iendsof the bride that, fr'-m the day of her hefrothal.

her spirits had been marked by the strangest fluctuations. Sometimes with her btautiful dark face illumined with a deep, still, almost religious joy, she moved about, as it were, on ''winged feet," or at branding in a happy trance. At other times, she fell into de3p gloom aud anxiety, as inexplicable as it was alarming to her friends, who greatly feared her relapse into the deep melancholy that had so long overshadowed her, and that they had grown to a serious constitutional malady. But they hoped everything froinhsr approaching marriage with the man she loved. Lord Montressor observed witt; the deepest interest the ua-er'ain.

moods of his betrothed; but with the hih-toned sentiments that distinguished him, re reined from inquiring, and awaited her voluntary revelations. At last the firrt of May, the marriage day. upon which 1 have presented toe parties to the reader, arrived, all the haul ton, as i said, were gathered at ths hall or at the churoh to do honor to the solemnities. Aiid the ex pectant bride, in hr bridal robi and veil, waited within her boudoir the arrival of the bridegroom, whom she had summoned to a private interview feefere they should proceed to the church. She f-ad not long to wait.

He who quickly responded to her sligr tesft inclination, immediately obeyed her call. Yet when she heaid his firm, elastic step approaching 'Now, God have mercy on me!" she prayed, and covered hei face with her hands. He entered, unannounced, and saying, "My beai.tiful Stella! I am here, you perceive, by jour commands Hie dropped her hards, and Tsvea'ing a fsoe pale with misery, spoke in thrilling, deep, impassioned tone "Yoa are here by my supplication, my lord I nave no rieht to command." "We wiil wuve that What is your will, my dearest Stella iM 7'ayer, my lord, is first for your forgiveness." rsireneis rnv See "A my dtarlord! you see before yoa a penitent mid a supplicant, who may soon be something far rr-tvt "My Stella wba mean you "Come to the window, Lord Mitrosw she said, rising and preceding him. "L-ok out," she continued, putting fisioe the roe-colored hang ngs. ana revving a view of the park below, alive with its resiles multitude.

"What are all these people waning for, tay lord "What are they waiting for, my Stella? for that for wh ch I also wait w'h how much more impatience he answered, while a deep flush of love and jov, for an instant, supplanted the anxiety on his face. "They wait to see a bride where a bride may never go she said, in a solemn voice. "Stella! great Heaven! what say you!" beexolaimed, gazine on her with profound astonishment. "That the bride they expect is unworthy tostand before God's holy altar beside Iord Montressor!" "Unwjrthy, Stella! You!" "Most unworthy, my lord!" she said dropping her arms, nn1 dropping her head in an attitude of the misery. siiewld have made this confession long ao, Lord Montressor; but I have deceived you 1 have deceived you!" "In what respect.

Stella? My God! It cannot No, it cannot be! that while betrothed to me, you do not love me!" "iVo lore yov' my dear lord!" she murmured, in a voice of thrilling tenderness that carried conviction of her truth to his deepest heart. "What mean you. then, dearest one? if indeed you return my love," "Ob! I do, I do, Montressor; whatever happens, whe re ver you go. take that assurance with ytu! Lo ve you. iny lord! shall ever love you, even though ev alter what 1 shall have told you, jou rep'Use and hate me, and go to our friends and say 'That woman whom 1 was aliout to wed, is but a whited sepulchre, whom I have proved, and whom I now reject' jnd so leave me to the scorn of men, still I say ever shall fay I love you.

Lord Montressor! I love you, and thp. conf-cioiiRtiFRS of hin7- iinwori.hv of tour lova is the bitterest elem9ii in my punishment," she said, in a voice of such profound misery, that Lord Montressor could scarcely continue to believe her agitation un-ioimded or exaggeiated! He dropped upema seat, and sitting still and white as a carved iinige of stone, gazed upon her, waiting her further communications.

A Romance of thk Old act New World. By Emma D. Et N. Souihwoith, Author Lost Heiress." "The Deserted Wile," "The Missing Bride," "Retribution," etc. CHAPTER I.

AN INTERRUPTED WEDDING. It was the Erst of Mav, the marriage day of the Viscount Montressor, of Montresser Castle, Dorset-phire, and Esteba, only daughter and heiress of Sir PaikeMorrelle, Hyde rfall, Devonshire. A glorious morning! the cloudless, blue sky smiled down upon the greed hula and dewy dales and deep woot of Devon, and the park around the Hall was all 11 live and musical with the joyous song i of birds and the merry laughter of young men and maidens gathering to celebrate their Slay-day festival, and to do honor to the marriage of their landlord's daughter. The elm shaded, winding avenue that led from the hiahway to the house, was arched at each terminus by a mammoth wrenth of flowers, ard many were tha carriages tnat passed under them on their way to assist at the Wedding and these contained only the bridesmaids, and the nearest friends and relatives of the family, whose relationship or position gave them the right to attend the bride to church; for a still more omerous pariv had been to meet her a the altar. The vil'ageis and tenants grouped about under ttie shade of the great oid trees, or wandering over the grecnswaid on either side the avenue, watched these equipages as they roiled on, commautiug as usual on sueh occasions.

"Oh dear me! the weadingers won't pass until nearly twelve! ai here we are to wait two mortal hours! said a young girl to the samekeepor. 'Hush! my darling look, here conies his lordship's carnage, itself, just as sure es you're the prettiest lass in the country." It was Lord Montressor's carnage. Early that morning a note from his affiineed brida had been put in his hands summoning him to a private coi ference with her at the Hall, bef-ie they should proceed to the church. Surprised and filled With vasue uneasiness, his lordship lost no time in obeying the be-best. Within the most secluded of her suit of richly furnished apartments of the oid Hall, half-buried in the depths ff a cushioned chair, reelined the bride expectant, in bridal amy.

She was alone, her attendants having, by her own dm-e. wi'hdrawn. Estelle MoreHe or "la belle Fstelle." "Beautiful Stiila." "the Midnight Star" as for her resplendent dark deeuty, she was poetically named. ra at this time twenty-five years of aire, and more loveiy a poet's or a-tist's ideal. Her form was of medium height, and very slender, though well-rounded, with a eraceiul head, over which felt rich masses of jet-black tiiken ringlets, shading a face of pure, pale and olive complexion, With large mournful dark eyes, habitually veiled by the long, drooping lashes ana delicate, though full, curved lip3, ever patiently closed as in silent resignation.

Tne prevailing expression of her dark, briiiiant countenance was a profound melau-cho'y. The annoar.csment of Mis More'le's approaching iage with the Viscount had created a profound sensation in the fashionable and aristocratic circles. A peerless beauty, the only child and heiress of llie oldest, wealthiest and haughtiest baronet in the West of England, her heart had been as much tha object of aspiration to ihe youthful and ardent as her hnnd fortune the end of desire to the mercenary and ambitious. At the early age of seven yesrs, Estelle had bean fileced at one of the first-class famale institutions of eirning at Pans, then as now, considered among the verv btst of their kii the world, and there had been left "to lemain until her sixtejnth year, when the sudden and calamitous breaking up of the institution. and her own severe illness, had occasioned her removal.

That illness had been attend-d with marked clauses in the cinstiiHtioH and temperament of tlie young girt. Estelle. previously the most careless, and capricious of children, left her chamber of convalescence a subdued, thoughtful, meltncholy woman! The isuehing lips of girlhood ciosed in patient sadness; the sparkling eyes sheathtd their beam? under long shadowy now seldom lifted; thesiiverv, elastic voice, sack into deep and thrilling tones; the free, glad motions were measured and controlled. She never entered another school, but completed her education under the best masters at home. To dissipate what was considered a transient melancholy, her parents traveled with her over Europe, pausinz at each capital rnd chief town to show her all that wis inte-resiiuff and instructive.

But though their daughter re pa their attentions -with the sweerest gratitude and obejed them with the gentlest d( cdity, she showed no interest in the pnssmg scenes. And tl.ough everywhere tier extreme beauty and sweetness of disposition, not less than her fortune and position, drew around her many friends and admirers, Estelle remained alone in be isolated thoughts and feelings. Every most distinguished physician in Europe had been con suited upon her case, and the result of their wisdom was a decision that this melancho'y was not the effect of nl health, less of secret sorrow, but that it was a constitutional phase that would probably pass away vnh maturing ytair. They returned to England, presented their daughter at court, and introduced her into all the gayot es of fashionable life. But with no happy effect upon the spirits of Estelle, who remained profoundly unmoved am.d th6 eciat that greeted her debut.

Her picturesque b. amy was the theme of all tongues hermourn-fufg'snce was fascinating her deep tones thrilling her touch magnetic: all felt her power, yet she who covld move nil others remained unimpressed. She who sought no conquests, lor tha: very reason, per lisp, made many. A peer and two commoners, in succession, laid their fortunes at her feet, and were ic turn kindly and firmly rejected. So rass'd her first season in London, at the close of.

which her parents took her down to their seat in Dsr-" ons-hire. Here, in her thoughtful, quiet, unostentatious manaer. she engased in works of among the villagers and the tenantry. And her father, hop ng much from this employment, gave her full liberty of action, and smiled to see that she seamed less pensive than berore. At the beginning of the parliamentary term the family went up to London.

And it was here in her second season in tiwn that Estel le formed theacquaintanee of Lord Montressor, a yojr.g nobleman but lately acceded to his titles aude? tates, but already known as a man of tiie most high-tontd moral and iiuelleetaal excellence, asa righteous, as well as a rising EtiteEir.an, and as one who, in the event of a change of ministry, would be likely to fill a high official position in His Majesty's cabinet. Aside rom the glar of rank and wealth and pow er. Charles Montressor was a glorious specimen of the Creator's woikmansnip. Ahove the average standard of height among his countrymen, broad sboul derd and deep-chested, with a noble head, and a face fuii of wisdom and goodness, his appearance trWy indicated the wann benevolence, clear intelligence, and pure spirit of the man. His presence soon inspired Ettelle with a faith that she had nnt been to feel in nny other that approached her.

He drew nearer to her than r.ny other had been permitted to corns; he crossed the magics circle of her isolation, and conversed with herns no other had been allowed to do. The wo Id looked and sail that the beautiful Stella had at last met her master and was conquered. At this stage of aff.tirs. the parliamentary term being over. Parke MoreHe and his family left London for Hvde Hall.

j.urd Montressor asked and received permission to foliuw them, nnd ui less a month availed himsef of the privilege to do so. Thus it was in the home of her ancetters, after having obtained the cordial sanction of her parents, and believing himself ture of th8 affections of their daughter, Lord Montr ssor offered Iii3 heart and hand to the lovely Estelle. and was to his profound astonishment instantly and hrnvy rejected! In thus rejecting his suit she wept long and bitterly, praying his forgiveness, that the happiness she had experienced and exhibited in his socitty should have betrayed him into makins this declaration, and beseechine him never to renew his suit, but to leave and forget her. There was something in the tone of her refusal which confirmed and deepened his previous conviction that even in rejecting him she loved him! Butwith sentiments he would not in the least degree presume upon that knowledge. Taking her hand with deferential tenderness, he said "Steila! a man never but once, in his whole existence, loves a woinan as I love yoa! i will not inquire ihe cause of tae rejection, which you have certainly the right to majre Without assigning any reason for tha act.

Ard after having rtce'ved this repulse I may in honor distress you by a renewal of my suit. Uut this, in parting, I must say to you that, though 1 go hence, 1 shall not go out cf the reaoh of your friends. I shall Dever address another woman, so if 'ver 'D the course of future weeks, or months, or years, however long, you may think proper to review the decision of this evening, Stella implore you let me know Write but word, and I will return to lay an unchanged heart at your feet." was weeping too bitterly to reply. Stella! will you promise to do thi?" "Lord best and dearest friend! do not seek to bind yourself to one who can give you nothing in return! Try to think of the melanohoiy girl you luve pitied and loved omy as a shadow that tell for a moment across the Bucsh ne of your path, and then passed away forever! and so forget her!" "Stella! I have plecged my honor nsver to renew thi i suit unless you reverse in my favor the sentenc9 you have jrtiiiounced upon it; but inspired by thedoep and deathless iova I bear you, and 'hoping against I feel impelled to implcre, before leaving you, tr.at, in the event of a favorable change of sentiment or purpose towards me, you will not hesitite to give me leave to retUin. fetella, will you promise me so much that?" "Noblest friend that I have in the world! how gladly would I promise, but 1 must not, Montressor.

Were 1 to do so you would feel bound to wait the changes of my mood, and so, for a most undeservu love.might miss, in Rome nobler woman's affections, the happiness tore for yfu'" "Stella, will you raise your sweet, mournful eyes to niMe one moment, that you may read my soal while I speak?" Estelle lifted her dark orbs to meet the clear, pure, ue eyes bent with so much love and candor upon hers, and read the deep, unchanging truth of the constancy of his snml as he said "Stella, in the presence of the heart-searching God who sees and hears me, I assiue vou that 1 shall never love another womin as I love you, and therefore, of course, can never we-d another; so that whether you give me tins slightest of hopes or not I am equally and forever bound! Nov) will you promise, Stella? Remember, it is only to know case of a change in your sentiments." For an insfant the light of an unutterable love and joy broke on her beautiful, dark faoe, and her smiling lips parted to speak when as if a sudien memory and warning had gripped her very heart she ottered a low, sharp cry, turned paler than before, and then -No! no! my Ird! Btolla cannot even give you that! She is poorer Umn the poorest, in gifts to you. She can only pray that ou may forget hor and be happy." He looked profoundly disappointed and troubled. But soon mastering his despondency, he said hopefully "Well, deai est Stella, although you rejeot me without apparent reason, and refuse to give me the slightest promise or the most distnnt hope, yet re-peat should jou in the long future, ohange your purpose, and write to n.e one word I will hasten to lsy at your leet an unchanged heart! Uood bya! God be with. L.OCAL, MATTERS. Vpn the Charge nf Murder.

It will be remembered that upon the occasion of the recent strike, and attendant riots upon the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, a young man named Henry L. Howzer was killed by a slot or sfve ral shots fired from the train attacked, two shot wounds being found upon his personf one under and carrying away a portion or the ri-Jht eye, and the other entering the left side of the neck and passing upward and near the carotid artery. The verdict of the jury of inquest at the time was "that the deceased, Henry L. Howzer, came to his death from two gun-shot wounds at the hands of some person or persons to the jury unknown." Since then, however, the friends of the deceased, from certain testimony, have, as they believe, succeeded in fixing the commii-sion of the deed upon an individual, and yesterday Henry Lydy of rederick county, and grandfather of the deceased, appeared before Justice Grove and made the following deposition: Henry Lydy, being sworn on the Holy Evan-gelyof Almighty God, swears that a certain Henry L. Howzer, a citizen of the State of Maryland, was feloniously killed by a ball from a pistoli rifle, or musket, on the second day of May, 1857, in Baltimore county and State of Maryland; and from information received, he has a well-grounded belief that a certain John Graham, of the police firm of Potee, Graham and the person who committed the crime.

This was sworn and subscribed to before the above Justice, who, upon the evidence, issued a State's warrant for the arrest of the accused. It was placed in the hands of officers G. W. Seayers and Chas. Handy, cf the western district, and Mr.

Graham was taken into custody at his residence, where he was confined by severe sickness. He was placed in a carriage and driven to the magistrate's office, and tnence committed to jail. Alter he was lodged in jail, Deputy Sheriff Woollen, who had busi ness there, was recognized by him, and he was requested to lniorm Frederick Pinkney, Ksq assistant prosecuting attorney, and Chas. J. M.

twinn, t.sq., who at once proceeded to the ail and admttted Mr. Graham to bail. Deputy Sheriff Thomas Griflin, who was in the train with Mr. Graham on the Saturday on which young Howser was shot, statesthat the first train, ii wiiicn iney were, was near silicon's Aims, md the second train, from which the shooting took place, was in the deep cut, several miles in xne rear, ne wnoie matter will be thoroughly investigated. The whole matter will be tho roughly investigated, as the case will go before the grand jury.

jThe Ptabody Institute Situ. Agreeably to ad- ournment, the board of trustees of the Peabody institute assembled yesterday at the rooms of the Historical Society to receive the report of the committee appointed on Saturday last to negotiate for the Howard lot and adjoining property on Mount Vernon Place. The committee reported that the whole cost would be 3103,000, and a resolution was at once adopted directing them to close the purchase without delay. Thus the ques tion oi a site is aenniteiy settled, and as soon as the property is transferred to the possession of the board of trustees plans for the buildings will be invi'ed. It is not yet determined what plan or what material will be adopted, both of which will depend a great deal on the aggregate cost of the structure to be erected.

Mr. Peabody, it is said, expressed such a decided preference for this locality that he proposed to supply th funds for tne expense, and out or respect to his wishes the site was selectee! over another generally considered more eligible. With a view to the earliest possible construction of the building tne committee wm at once proceed with their duties, and the work will be commenced during ihe present year. Theft of Carpetins. On Monday night last two rolls of carpeting, containing twenty-seven yards, were stolen from the residence of Mrs.

Brown, on Baltimore street, near Schroeder. Suspicion re-ted upon an old negro man named Matthews, who resides In an alley near by, and a search warrant being obtained his premises were overhauled yesterday, but nothing answer- ng to tne description oi goods stolen were found therein. An old, infirm white man. crinoled with disease and unable to help himself, was discovered lying upon the floor, and appirentlv indebted to the negro for the prolongation of his miserable existence. He was sent to the alms house.

Killed by a Railroad Car. On Wednesday a German named Kroutsman was instantly killed at Locust Point by being knocked down and run over by a locomotive. He was on the track whea the train passed along, and holding an umbrella eiore tun aid not see the locomotive approach ing.

Thg Louisville Firemen. Within a week now, say on the 27th instant, a fire company, the "Mechanics," of Louisville, Kentucky, is expected to arrive in our city. The Deptford, by reason of former iavors received at jouisviue, when on a visit, have naturally to take the initiative in the matter, and they are prepared to do what they can do under the circumstances, but they hope that other fire companies of the city will come up to their aid. In this hope there is reason to believe they will not be disappointed. Jtre Duty.

A short time since a resolution was adopted by the. Mechanical Fire Company to confine its operations entirely to tne name district, bounded by Fayette, Charles and Gay streets, and the water line. A meeting of the company was held on Wednesday night, when the resolution was rescinded, so that it will in future work at fires in all parts of the city. Fatal Accident. On Wednesday afternoon a German on Locust Point, named Conrad Kunz- man, was killed accidentally by a freight engine running over him.

The Times seems at last to have got rid of its jealousy of Ameri. can progress, and leoks at this question with the light of experience and of facts. It says: "A vast population Anglo-Saxon we call it for want of a better name, but much more British than American is pouring into these regions, and acquiring that strength which is inseparable from supeiiority in numbers and breed. Nothing will prevent thera from gaining the ascendancy over the debased' races that decay, languish, quarrel and destroy one another in one of the finest countries as well as most commanding situations in the world. There they are.

and though the gold discoveries of Australia have diverted from California and the roHtes thereto the great European influx with which they were threatened, still the "Anglo-Saxon element is rapidly increasing In Central America, and crowing to its invariable political development. Whatever the government of the United States does in these regions will be better than the work of adventurers, which, at the best, will be only a broken limb badly set, and will require some day another and more painful operation.
