The following paper in relation to the late W. Tanneuii.l. submitted by the Recording Secretary, is entered upon the minutes: The Historical Society of Tennessee have learned with deep regret the demise of their fellow memlK-r. Wilkin Tannehill. Esq., who died in the vicinity of Nashville on the 2nd of June 1858, iu the 73rd year of bis age. He had lived a life of great activity aud useful ness, aud his scholarly altainm -iitsand fine so cial qualities attructed the attention of the. leiirned and the good who cauie in contact with hiiu. Mr. Tannehill was. one of "Nature's noblemen," and lived in an atmosphere of his owu, alove the groveling aspirations of those who seek alter this world " goods as their chief aim, and constantly communed with his own elevated thought, or wulked the sweet vales of literature and history wiih the wisest and best authors. There was nothing low or de basing in his composition every impulse was pure and lofty and ennobling. His d light wad to lie with his Iwioks, aud they were always of the most select kind. Mr. Tannehill has written a great deal, hav ing lieen, all his life, a close student. His ac quisition of lauguageg was commendable. He was at once a scholar, a philologist, a his. torian, a philosopher, iitul n gentleman in all the walks of lite, a gentleman. He materially advanced the organization and earlier opera tions of this Society, and ever commanded that respect and esteem and attention which genuine merit never fail, to tiud. Being en dowed with a lofty intellect, his life was ne cessarily governed by the purest principles of morality. Mr. Tannehill published and edited a poli tical paper at Louisville, Ky., iu 1833-4; but political writing was not his forte, and he re turned to Nashville, where, either as editor or assistant, he for years wielded a pen of great finish and beauty and accuracy. He conduct ed a neutral paper herein 1M46-7, and was for several years connected with tho newspa per press of this city. Previously, however, he hail writteu aid published a work entitled. Sketches of the History of Literature, from the earliest period to the Revival of Letters in the titteeuth century.'' Subsequently he enlarged the work, aud wrote, iu six books, Sketches of the History of Roman Litera ture, from the earliest period to the Accession of Coustanline the (J rent," the third book on ly of which was ever published. The entire work is iu mauuicript, ready tor the composi tor, in an excellent slate of preservation. His "Masouic Manual," published iu 1811, has had au extensive circulation. Asa Ma son, he was regarded as the "father of the Craft" in Tennessee, ami he w as uouorcd by that Order with the highest positions they could confer. His Masi-mc wnliugs, which are numerous, were received by the fraternity " throughout the country as coming from one "having authority." His lirst public Masouic Address was delivered in December, 1815. Mr. Tannehill was honored, also, by civil positions iu lite, notwithstanding his natural disinclination to seek popular favor, or to engage iu strifes for mere parly victory. He wa elecUd a Magistrate by the jieople, and served for a few years iu that capacity, dispensing justice "without partiality aud without favor." He was elected one of the Aldermen of Nashville as early as 1803, and was reflected three years in succession. He .was elected Mayor oi the city iu 18A3, and again in In every position, he dis charged his duty laith fully. A few years since, our deceased fellow member had tlie misfortune to lose his eye sight, and of course could not actively Earticipate in the operations of our Society, ut he lived in the m.uds of the members, and we now lament the tinal extinguishment of such a brilliaut light. We shall ever hold his memory in sacred veneration, and cherish those virtues which so highly doraed his well-spent life. We sympaluise with his children and ether relatives, iu the departure of oue so good and so great, aud bo much beloved by them and by us. To our Merchants, Planters, Mkcuamcs Yik.no Men, aud others, we wish to say a few words in regard to the New American Cyclo paxlia, for which Mr. Mkhkiix is now getting subscribers iu our city. We have already spoken of this great national work, which is universally acknowl edged here and in Europe, to be the greatest and best work ever publishe d in America. It id acknowledged t.y Europeaus them selves, to be (so far as it has progressed) the best Cyclopaedia ever published. Iu Web ster's great work, America has given to Eng land the Standard Dictionary of the English language and uow, she is publishing a Cyclo paedia, that must take the lead of all similar publications, aud should be a source of pride to every American ciiiavo. We have not said much about it, because we kuow that our cilizeBs are well qualified to examine aud appreciate such a work as this, and hence, we are Dot surprised to toe over o.nk lttTMmmi KAtflca of prominent citizens already on the aubsvripliou book. But we regret to see that the subscription so tar, has been loo much routined to clergy, men, lawyers, physicians, editors, Idling merchants, and others, of known literary t mte. We want kVF.Hr body to have aecct t j this work. We waut to see It iu the house of every planter, merchant, and mechanic, where iu owner and uia childhjcn may have free access to its rich and varied contents. Its value in a family cannot be counted by dol lars and cenU, because the sou aud daugh tets, who are accustomed to refer to Iu page to solve their doubts, to settle dispute, or to gain Information, will naturally aeijuirt a fund us for knowUlye, that will frequently lead t teir minds into fields of Inquiry, to them before unknown. If one child in a family U thus' led to devote Lis leisure houia to fctor- nghis mind with useful knowledge, instead of spending it in idle dissipation, who can calculate its value! It should be too in every merchant's cocnt- inq-Room, accessible 'to owners and to clerks ready to give correct information upon every known subject of human inquiry at a moment' warning, and of the latest date. What is its cost compared to its usefulness for years to come! Surff every business hoose should have it., , . , We are glad to nee the names- of a number of intelligent young business men, book keeper, and others, on the subscription. We rejoice to see this, and nothing has pleased us more. So many of our young men waste their time their money and frequently their principles and their character by idleness and dissipation, that steady, upright, high-toned young men have lx come the exception instead of the rule. And it is not so very strange that it is fo. Reading, a most of them do, nothing but novels and silly tale, their minds become filled with foolish fancies, and they are then just ready to yield to the persuasions of vicious associates; and miut julep, Sun day drives, gambling. &c follow In the train. Then comes peculation and breach of trust, involving la to the employer and ruin to the clerk. Stewart and other large houses of New York, have struck at the root of these evils by fitting up reading rooms, with well selected books, for the use of the young men in their employ. We are glad then to see some of our young men having taste enough to secure for themselves now a work so val uable and so useful as this. There are hun dreds of young men in our city, who might take it as it is published, one volume at a time, without feeling its cost Will they not do it! What we have said to the merchant and the planter is equally applicable to the mechanic and all classes of our citizens. To all we would say get this noble work, and study its varied contents. Invest a few dollars in this way, and it will pay you better than any other investment. We believe that there are hundreds in this city, and vicinity, who will yet subscribe. a;id we have advised Mr. Mxkriix to call upon au. op otR citizens, giving them au oppor tunity to enroll their uames as patrons of this great w ork, w hether they have the reputation of being literary men or not. If he w ill do this, he can get an average of at least one subscritier in every good business house in the city, or we very much mistake the character of our citizens. 3IR. GREEN'S CLIENT. BY JOHN ESTKN COOKE, OF VIRGINIA. COXCIA'I)EI. CHAPTER III. A quarter of a mile from the village I stopped my horse in a little wood, and, for the lirst time, seriously realized the step I was about to take. I was being carri' d away by a natural in dignation, and, simply to' gratify this ucc ss of rage, into the coiuinisi-ion of an act w hich might have the nvst fatal effect upon the in terests of ' Miss Eilcnborough. What was I about to do? I was going to say to the man h had in his pnrMiion, no doiJit, the real will, You are a villain, a forger, a suborner, a feion! That is my opinion of yon, Sir!" I was going to iiflord my indignant feelings this great felicity; after which, if Wescot w as uot what I believed him a coward I would ceme away triumphant, with the supreme reflection that I had relieved my pent-up anger, and, by relieving it, done what? Why, destroyed the young lady's prospect of re covering the "pmiK-rty completely! After such an interview, Wcscnt's first step, beyond doubt, would be to burn the real will, and then we might whistle for the property. He would send to foreign countries the two ac complices of his villainy, or, if they remained, defy us to prove perjury on them. He would stand secure upon his title, aud the young jrirN would remain dependents all their lives MeSrS. fileell ttti'l WnJ-worlU t siuhI for defamation, perhaps. This was the pretty little state of affairs which I was about to create. My anger did not cool, but I regain ed my coolness of head. I w ould set to work more shrewdly than that. The resolution I came to was a desperate oil", but it was the only course I could follow, unless the affair was entirely abandoned. 1 determined to go to Mr. Harvard Miss EI leiihorough's lriend and protector, aud a magistrate to charge Wescot with f lony topioeurea warrant of arrest and a search warrant, and have him and the men Holu and Bright at onca taken into custody. The step was almost hopeless iu view of the absence of proof, aud w as apt to lie somewhat serious iu its consequences to myself; but I resolved to take the responsibility. I would procure the warrant, go with the officer my self to Hockley," be present, and. if neces sary, assist iu the arrest and the search. It whs necK or nothing; but two blue eyes, which 1 had never lost sight of, shone ou me the sad, tender face of a young girl rose before me. I did not hesitate. In an hour I was at Mr. Harvard's closeted wiih him in his library. When I briefly, and iu the calmest way, aniiouiiced'the object of my visit, he almost started from his seat. He was an excellent, but very cautious and pru dent man, aluio-t, indeed to the Itounds of timidity; und so rough and extraordinary a proceeding, against one of the wealthiest and most vindictive geutleuan of the county, struck him with horror. "My uW Sir!" cried the good man, gazing at me w ith distended eyes, "what possible grounds cau you have for such an extreme proceeding? I grant you that Mr. Elleiibor ough's will was a very extraordiuary one under the circumstances; but what imagin able proof have you of such a grave, such a very grave charge against Mr. Wescot? I am not a particular admin r of that gentleman, indeed, I have more than once been disposid to think the will might be set aside upon the ground of mental disability in the testator but really to grant a wai rant to arrtat Mr. Wescot on a charge of forgery! " The good man paused, out of breath. I then spoke. 1 told him of my visit to Isaac, and w hat I had seen of Blight and lloltz called to his memory many circumstances attendiug the last hours of Mr. Elleuborough. and laid before him the desperate state of this case. It was all iu vain: this last considera tion was fatal, lie even "doubted if he should be willing forme to lake any such steps." I rose, lowed coldly, and without nskiug for Miss Elleuborough, set out for the reid uca of another magistrate uear by. 1 was more than ever determined. This time 1 expcrieiic.d b-ss diBiculty. I had found a peiMuiage who did not particularly admire Wescot iudeid, he hated him with fervor; and he granted me the warrants. 1 si t oil with them at once, and returned rapidly to the village. The shades of night were descend. ug, however, aud it was too late to attempt any thing that day. I had my powder uiiue prepard br the morrow, however: and 1 relit ed, worn out with the events of the day. Ou the next morning when I rose, a ser vaut hauded me ihefollowiug note, which hud been brought at a late hour on tho night before: "Mis- Eilcnborough etrnestfy requests Mr. Witdfwortu to e her to-morrow niornlug, before going to lljckUy. Pray do not fail." With a gloomy anticipation of the young lady's wlh in the matter, I ord-red my car riage aud repaired to Mr. Harvard's. OIAITKK IV. I fouud Louisa alone iu thd drawing-room. I think 1 smiled, with a midooic air. at the absence of her protector. He had found me uijiIj of Ktublsjin material ou the previou evening, aud evidently had on objection to iuii'Ooe the task of changing my resolution upon the young lady. As she gave me her hand with sad courtesy and beggd me to be eKUnl, I thought her tboui-aad time more beautiful vhuu site liad app nred before. I rem.'iuber to this day the very dieas she wore. It was a simple haNt of dove-colored stuff, titliug tightly to I be grace ful figure, and admirably adapted, by its ubdued and modest tint, to the tharsct. r of her beauty. 11 r ryes and lip were full of the sra pathetic wetur; and wh b b touch, d my hand i thought her own treuibbU lightly. I bad not been. raiuken la my surmise. Iter oi.j-ci was to dissuade me front the ei trem step I was als.ut lo take. I recognii d the identical argi.nvnU which had been employed ty Mr. Harvard on the prexloiu eveuing, and mw at once that the young lady bad been first frighteud, then drilled to her rt. J was to be kept from moving in the tuatWr, as 1 had intend. -d, at all hazard; and tu young lady unnmcnc d by hoping I had i Td t up tie atWnt 4 14 pruirj tte papia ;int Mr. WiscoC (i. I replied by producing them, and tLea carefully replacing them, with an expression of sullen obstinacy, in my.pocket. k Then the fcene commenced after the most approved fashion." I shall not give the details.' Miss Ellenborough with a blanched cbetk declared that in visiting Mr. Green she Jir I never designed proceeding to such danger' measures. She bad no enmity toward Mr. Wescot, she said, and if she only were con cerned, would never have complained; hr little sister's future was a thousand t!m s more hpr concern. But this proceeding against Mr. Wescot would wound ber deeply, painfully indeed, indeed I must forego it. Mr. Harvard, who bad been so very kind to her, strongly disapproved of it: nay. lad besought ber to never rest until she alte ed my rash determination; she owed a frreati'eal to him. and could not consent to wound him. She feared she bad been very rasb in goir g to Mr. Green, and she bad put me "to a great deal of expense and trouble. It was only proper that she should return me what T bad expended. I was very kind, and she did not mean to find fault, but hoped I would aban don the proceedings, and receive what I thonght my services were entitled to. Here the young lady drew out her purse, banded me a bundle of bank-notes, and ceased speaking. Never before or since have I felt an emotion of such profoundly mortified pride, such hope less humiliation.. This was, then, the result of my devotion to the young girl! This was the estimate she had of my motives and my character! While I was fondly regarding myself as the champion of innocence against base frand and wrong w hile my whole mind and heart were ardently absorbed in the struggle against the one who bad wronged ber while I was actuated by the most chivalric and high-toned sentiments of com passion, indignation; nay, actually by a love which had grown and increased with every pasting hour since our meeting; now, when the young lady stood In tbpt relaliou to roe when, like an honorable gentleman- I bad espoused ber cause without fear or desire of reward, now I was to be met suddenly by a proposal to pay we for my expense and trouble, to discharge my wages for labor done, to take my lawyer 's-clerk receipt, and dismiss me! Never, i say again, have I been so much mortified and humiliated. I blushed crimson, and, for several moments, could not speak. I saw her gazing at me. and her blushes 6lowly rose in answer to my own. "Miss Ellenborough has painfully wounded me," I said at length, iu a low voice, and bowing; "I am loth to think that it was intentional. I trust it was not. What I have done and designed doing was w ithout any view to pecuniary reward. I have as much money as I need. I wir-h to assist a lady who has been defrauded to right a wrong. Your money would have burned my palm. Madam," I said, blushing crimson, and carried away by mortified vanity; "I would have done for you what a brother would I would have hazarded my life! I was ready to charge this man with bis villainy, and force him, if necessary, by personal violence to right you. I was unselfish, if I know myself; my father taught me to interpose my arm, and my breast, if necessary, between a weak woman and a cowardly oppressor. I was brought up so; you might have . See Madame, I am blushing like a girl with shame! You have offered nit; money!" I stopped. I felt so much humiliation so degraded, that I could say no more. The young lady's reply was broken by emotion, and more than one sob testified to the depth of her agitation. Indeed, she had not meant to hurt my feelings, sh said; she had only done what Mr. Harvard had told her to do: he said that I ought to lie offered re-mu-neratioii for mv services. She never could forgive her self for making me feel so badly; wo'ild I for give her. and not think her ungrateful for all my kindness and gotnlness! She was very young hardly more than a child she knew nothing of the ways of the world: for worlds she would not wound one who seemed bo ge nerous, and kind and good. S!ie looked so lieHiitit'il as she tittered these broken words her voice was full of such pathetic music, her moist eyes instinct with so much uncomplaining sadness the sob or two which escaped from her lips went so com pletely to my heart, that all my shame and mortification disappeared, my face flushed with passionate emotion, and, carried away by my feelings, I lost sight of every dictate of propriety and decorum. I caught her hands in mv own, covered them with wild kisses, and told her, in agitated yet ardent words, that I loved her, would always love her she might think me presumptuous, crazy, intrusive ; but no matter ! I loved her and would give her mv life if she wished it ! Then I stopped. '.Mr. YVadsworui!" That was her leply in a tone of hauteur mixed with a species of incredulous wonder. It brought me to my senses. I drew back, and for some moments we remained silent, looking at each other. "Miss Ellenborough has treated my mad an nouncement as she should have done," I said at length, with collected calmness, the calm ness of def pair; 'from so mere a stranger it w as even an impertinence, for which I humbly ask her to pardon me. It shall not lie repent ed. Farewell. Madam. Here are the papers which you forbid my using; I yield, you see. May every happiness attend you ! Pardon the insanity of a young man who has no ex cuse to offer for his rudeness but sincere feel ing. Farewell forever. Madam." Aud with a bow I left her. She was weep ing. CltAITKK V. I HETrnNEn to the village with a tempest raging in my breast. This,' then, was the result of my chance visit to the place! In two days I had fallen in love with a woman told her that I loved her lieeu answered as I should have been and I was going away forever! "What a pretty subject for a ro mance !" I muttered, with despairing sneers: "yes, Mr. Wadsworth, you have made a fool of yourself. It is liest that you should go laek to your law-lKiokV But I did not recover from my pain by these woeful sarcasms. The wondering look the quick exclamation of the youug lady, in a tone of so much outraged pride remain ed. When I reached the village I was perftct ly wretched. Then came the recollection of Wescot to put the finishing stroke to my mental excite ment. How I had triumphed in the thought that I would make him disgorge his fraud-acquired wealth ! How I had thrilled with the idea that, in open court, In-fore the whole dis trict, 1 would charge him with forgery and perjury! How. even if Miss Elleuborough did not regain her property, I would brand the miserable knave with the incffacable marks of public scorn and loathing 1 And now I was punished. He was secure the arms I had collecttl were taken from my. hands he triumphed, and the orphan cliildrinl would feel all the woe of poverty, while he was rolling in wealth and luxury I The thought stung me to madness. I could not leave the country without telling this man to his teeth that be was a knave. I or deren my carriage again, and determined to go to his house. I do not know what special providence made me think of passing the quarter of an hour necessary to harness my horse in exam ining the will filed by Wescot in the clerk'a office of the county. The court-house was near the tavern, and I went thither and r; quested the official to show me the p iper. He very obligingly complied, and I read it atten tively. There was nothing to rind fault with; every thing was perfectly regular. It was in a plain and business-like haudwri ting per fectly common place, as of an Indifferent per son, who had written it from dictation. I was a))tit to return it to the clerk, when suddenly my eyes were riveted upon the upptr left hand corner of the sheet. Th-n my glance darted to the date a sort of tremor p isstd over my frame I thiuk the clerk must have observed my emotion. Subduing every evi dence of it, bow ever, I gave him the paper, strolled out of the court-house, went to the tavern and entered my vehicle. Gathering up the reins I set off toward Hockley at a fu riom gallop. Boniface must have given up all bnpeiiot ever receiving payment of bis bill. But I did not think ot trinVs. I glowed with vagu triumph. In ten or fifteen minute I was at Wecot door. 1'e received me In the library. Hi ken and sinister rye took in every detail of my person, and asked, before be spake, what bus iness brnutbt me. 'I will first tell you ray name. Sir," I said, with ill-concealed diszust.as I lhu (bund my elf iu preaence of the forger; -it i WadV wortb. I represent Mr.JusUh Green, of , counsel for Viit Etleufniroug'i.' I m a slight pallor iuvade his cheek. Well. S, your blno?"' h motu-r.-d. "It relate to the will of the late Mr. Ellen boroujjh; and yesterday I obta'ned the requi site papers for Instituting legal proceeding. Th character of the proposed proceedings will prolwbly surprise Jjou. Sir." "Wnat prooetxliags, birl" be said lo a blus tering tone; "and what do you mean? Mum KUei Nirouh then m-ans to a t up h- r claim doe she So be' not content with the char ity bevtowed on n. r by t lteaalkh aiu t try aud lay band on bis property after bi death, must she? You and your employer thin Green must have a plenty of leisure t me to bunt up these partica and pro cute th Ir Impudent claim t" My face fldihd with indignation as be thus poke of Mis Elleuborough, but I remained Cool. I saw that be bad deliberately adopts a blustering tone to frighten me. "And an tc your "papers to institute, pro- j ceedings,' " he went on in an insolent and bullying , tone, "you and your pettifogging employer may make what you can of tbetn! Yon and your client are well suited I She first shamelessly, intruded on my deceased relative, and now aims at juggling me out of his estate!"' I set my teef h close, and. looking the speak er straight in the eyes, said:- -, . -" "Do yon know the character of the' papers I procured yesterday, Sir?" "Curse your pa pers! I neither know nor care !" - r 1 "" ' "Still I beg leave to Inform you, Sir," I said, growing colder and more resolute a the interview proceeded, "the papers in question, were a search warrant to search this bous for the true will of the late Mr. Ellenborough. and a warrant of arrest to be executed on your person as a forger and suborner as the forger of Mr. Ellenborough 's name at the foot of the instrument admitted to probate, and the accomplice of the men Uoltz and Bright, who perjured themselves." . . . The bolt struck him full in front. For a moment it seemed to paralyze bim. Then, with a desperate attempt to cowe me, he caught a pistol from a case on the table, and with trembling fingers sprung the hammer. I calmly put my hand into my breast-pocket, and drew forth its fellow, which I cock-d and presented to b!s breast. That moment showed me that he was, what I believed him to be from the first, an abject coward. - "Lay down that weapon,' I said, coldly; "and do not think, with your vaporing, to friehten me. It will be time , thrown away, Sir!" His face turned as pale as death, and be did not sustain my look. Still, be made a last effort to support his tone of bluster. "And this is the w ay you practice law, is it. Sir?" be said; "you come txmed to geutle men's houses to insult them. No doubt yon expect me to acknowledge what you wish to get a statement from me to abk me ques tions." The air sf sarcasm was badly affected. The speaker wanted nerve. "No. Sir," I replied. "I did not come to ask questions; but, as you suggest it, I will ak a single one: What have you done with the k -ys with which yon opened Mr. Ellenborough s draw ers ou the day of his death?" A pallor more sickly than liefore invaded his countenance; but suddenly his checks flushed. I read his mind like an open liook. He had rememljertd that no oue but Isaac saw him, and that this testimony was inad missible. For a long time he remained silent struggling, I saw, to regain his courage. At last he said, with an assumption of outraged pride and dignity: "I shall niakj no reply to your insinua tions. Sir. You have chosen to come here and insult me, and you may go and institute your proceedings when you choose. I defy you! Yes, Sir, I defy you to bring any proof of the slander you utter! But take care. Sir! I will take steps in turn; and I advise you not to provoke me. As to the will. Sir, I defy you to break it; it is thoroughly reg ular !" I prepared my last and decisive stroke. "I confess it w drawn up with great skill.'' I returned; "the signature is well executed. and all is in form. There is but one over sight." -What oversight?" be said, eagerly. "Why, the paper tmtrlc. I examined the document this morning, and find that the mime of" th" paper-manufacturer is G. S. Wadworth & Co.. White Mills, Penn.' Now, Sir, Mr. C. S. Wadsworth happens to lie a relative of mine, and his mills were estali lished just one month Is fore ihf day of Mr. KUeiiborough's death. The a ill filed in the clerk's office is dated one tear before the time of the tt Eta tor's death eleven months before any paper with the mark -C. S. Wadsworth & Co.' was in existence. A strange circum stance. Sir!" I added, looking the lorger straight in the eyes. I saw that the blow ended all. His face turned ashy white, and he leaned on the table for support. Then, rising, he w ent with a faltering step to a buff, t, and poured out some brandy, which he drank, without water, at a single gulp. When he resumed his seat. I said, iu the calmest business tone: "Now, Sir, where is the real will?" I shrink from describing in detail the scne which followed this demand ou my part. The forger was like a wild beast driven to bay. He exhausted every imaginable device to move roe from my purpose. First, he denied every thing; theu he defied me; then he ac knowledged that the will was in his posses sion, ami ottered to give it up for a large sum; then he caught up his pistols and blustered: nimlly, he took a key from his lireast. onened a closet in the w all, and produced the paper. I glanced over it. It was au instrument ex ecuted in due form, leaving the Hockley estatu to Misses Louisa and Fanny Ellen bor on irh. and naming guardians. " Half an hour afterwards I left the bouse with the will in my pocket. All I had pro mised was that no steps should be taken against the criminal without the consent of Miss Elleuborough, Ou the next day it was rumored iu the village that Wecot lmd dis appeared. Tho rumor proved true. Hastily securing all the valuables he could lay his hands on. he had tied, leaving behind him debti which burdened the estate for years afterward. His career was an extraordinary proof of the maxim that a criminal is almos . always a coward. It is true that the evidence of the paper mark was powerful; but it did not bring home to nim, except upon circum stautial grounds, the forgery. Still, he feared to risk the contest. He succumbed, aud dis appeared. I might end here; but a word or two may lie added. The real will was dated sule quent to the false one, and thus the young ladies were enabbil to gain possession of the property without raising the question of forgery. Contrary to my expectation, the farewell I had taken of Miss Ellenliorough was not a tinal one. I went to see her again with the will in my pocket, and frequently thereafter for a year. At the end of that time I com menced swing her every day. Iu fact, we were married. I do not think that she has ever repented the act; or that the morning was at all unlucky for me when, raising my eyes from the law-book in our dusty old town office, I saw for the first time Mr. Green's Client. The London correspondent of The Spring field Republican, writing on the 2Gth of June, gives the following explanation of the in compatibility between Dickens and bis wife : 'In the literary world very little is stirring, exoept the gossip on the domestic affairs of Charles Dickens. Probably his explanatory letter, published a month ago and full of roysttrious allusions, has excited as much curiosity in America as here. The facts dimly allud- d to are these: About twenty-two y are ago, Mr. Dickens, then a clerk, inarrfed a very pretty and amiable young girl (whose parents opposed the match as far beiietth ber) and took her home to obscure lodgings in Furnival's Inn. For some yrars they iivtd very happily together, but Mr. Dickens bay itig hecome a great man, flattered and court ed, finds that his dom. stic felicity is not as great as could be defir. d. Two or three years ago be gave a dinner to bis literary friend on the anniversary of bin wedding day, and in proposing his wife's health, stati d that he had never seen a kbade of ill-temper ovr ber in his lif;-. This equability of dis position does not satisfy him. She is not in tellectual. He reads his wi-rk to ber, and she, absorb.'d in needlework, inquires ab stractedly what be means by some of bis most brilliant passage. Iu short, sbo is not a conipaniou to bim, so the brilliant novelist and actor separates on the ground of 'incom patibility' trom her whom be vuwed before Gist to f ive and t cheil h, and from hence forth their livw . have separate ends. The oldest child, a -outh of 21, has chosen to fol low the fortunes of Lis mother, while the daughters remain with their father. To make the attVir still mor notorious, a yoong lady. Mrs. Dickens's sister, has nndrtsifit to 'keep boue' for Mr. Duk us and bis daughters. The whole affair is very repugnant to our id as of matrimonial constancy, and has n4 enlarged the circle of Mr. Dickens's ad mirer." Citizen Btnk-A ( ard. The undritned. mutual friend of Cnpl. Turner and S. P. Walker, have advi-d them to ronf t together for the porpo-e of seeing if wim ! adj-i?rnent m ty not lie made of their d'sacreetaent as to the affairs tf the Cit tens' B mk, by which the public interest msy I subserved and the note-holders protected. We have been induced to this course by an anxious desire to protect the interest of the creditors of the bank and tHee Interested.

Iff ore from the Ocean Cable Fleet. - l K Bostox, July 17.1 The letters received frorh the telegraph fleet furnish the following particulars : Tbe Niag ara and Asramemnon experienced most vio lent southern gales from the day they left Plymouth and were driven as Tar ortn as lat itude 54, much higher than the rendezvous, thus delaying their operations several days. The Niagara behaved in all resp eta like a thorough sea-going vessel, and was none tbe worse for the storms. The Agamemnon, on the contrary, suffered severely. At one time j the Commsnd'T of the Agamemnon inforred nis nrtt omcer tnai ne uaa no nopes i saving bis vessel two hours longer, so great was ber straining; bat tbe storm subsided at last aud she rode out tbe gale. A most unfortunate accident occurred on board, however, caused by the breaking loose of the connections which held the cable in its position on the gun-deck. The cable got adrift and wap pitched about the deck un doubtedly' much to its damage. Two hun dred tons of coal got edrift on the same d-ck and caned infinite trouble. . Two seamen were inj irtd I y these accidents, one of them having an arm and tbe other a leg broken. The two vessels and their tenders finally ar rived on the ground, and on the morning of the Z6tb ult,, a connection ot tbe caoie was effected. The weather being then sufficiently calm tbe paying out bad scarcely commenced be fore the wire snapped. After a few hours, detention, another tplice was made aud the steamers started,the Agamemnon and ber con sort for Ireland and the Niagara and her com panion for the American coast. Signals were kept up between the two vessels constantly, a message being transmitted every 15 minutes. All was going on well till about 40 miles had lieen paid out, when the electricians on fal tbe Niagara discovered that the cir cuit was broken. This wad at half pact 12 o'clock A. M. on tbe 27th. The Niagara was immediately put about, and bad already reached tbe mid-ocean rend ezvous. At 8 o'clock she was first seen by the Alice Mnnroe. It was believed on board the Niagara that the secoud breakage was caused by a kink in the Agamemnon's wire, caused its disarrangement during the gale; but of this there is no certainty. Nothing is said almut the working of the new brakes. Probably there has fieen no occasion to put them in use. The Alice Mnnroe parted com pany with the Niagara sfiortly after noon of the 27th, aud lost sight of her about four o'clock. ' The Armemnon had not then come in 6ight' The offic M if the Niagi r i had hoped that b r consort would arrive in season to make another trial that day, but as the weather was logiry. though calm, it is hardly probable that any thing was done on the 27th. For two days subsequently, the weather was quite calm and favoraole, but after that there was another succession of heavy southerly gales, and the weather on the banks, as experienced by the Alice Munroe, wag exceedingly rough. From the Mar.ph.it BullHin, July IS. Citizens Bank Imbroglio. The card of Messrs. McDavitt, Jones and Biinkb'V, to be found in another place.speaks for itself. The motive which prompts those gentlemen is a commendable one, and tneeuu they uirn at is beneficent and just the preser vation of tbe interests of the unfortunate noteholders and other creditors of the Bank. But truth and candor demand of us to suy. that the public opinion w hose patience is still further invoki d. is but secondarily interesti d jurt now, in any adjustment which may be mnde of the private disagreements which may exist, in a business point of view, between the past and present owners of the Bank. Jl demands, with trumpet tongue, first and fore most, an r xhibit ot the condition and means of the institution. It ha- gone abroad, ujion the verbal authority of an officer of the Bank, that its notes were intrinsically worth im mensely less than their face denomination. The public wi-h to know, or to have the means of forming a Judgment, w hether they are or are not positively worthless. If they are, there is an end of the anxiety of hope and tear which agitates many a hard laborer, many a poor woman who has her little all iuves.ed iu it. If they have any value, the sooner that value is ascertained, so that something ap proaching it may be realizid by the necessi tous, the less heavy will be the curses of those, victims ot misplaced confidence. We repeal it what is wanted, now, is not so much an adjustment between the manager, past and present, as an erpue of what may lie reasonably expected from that adjustment, w hen niado; and. as express d in our issue of Thursday last.it devolves upon moseiu w tiose hands the Bank was when it collapsed, to set forth such a shoeing of its actual condition. Hundreds of our readers who read the announcement of Capt. Turner's exacted re turn to the city on Friday, will turu from the perusal of our columns this morning iu sore disappointment, at not finding such an expo sition. The public, we presume, will accord the de lay invoked by Messrs. McDavitt, Jones and Brinkley in part out of respect to the high character and good purposes of those geutb--man, and in part for that the great mass of our people are a thoughtful, justice-loving community, who would not risk wronging the innocent to coudignly condemn the wrong door. But they will muke a mistake who in terpret this equitable patience as a returning aupineness in regard to the great inj'iry, pri vate and public, w Inch has Ix-eu iullicU d by this culmination of pa per currency explosions.
