blan_le.- -Since matters" have been more
attentively: and 'thoroughly‘ invcstigsted,
the conduct._of the English 'Admirs.l‘is
much to be censured. . It-has been clcaf-.
ly proved that the-Lorcher “ Arrow’_’llad’
no flag displayed ‘at the“ time she ' was
boardcd by" the Chinese ofiicials, how
then could it be said that the, {mg "was
hauled. down? However, the English
are forced toadmit thetruth‘ of this, but
they turn it into, an entirely difiereutf
channel, and alledge that their object is
to enforce a. certain ‘stipulation of s.n"a'r-
-ticle of "the treaty‘ maide” ‘between ‘the
Queen of Great Britain andhis Imperial
Majesty, tlleEmperor of" 'Chin_a'., which
treaty was made at the gtermiuation of
the Opium "war. The stipulation "says
that any subject of Great Britain shall
be allowcdthe right of} a 'day’s travel in-.
to any part of ‘ Chin's, and also free en-
trance into "the cityfiof Canton. N ow it
is well known that -MK-‘Chas. Bouhani, (the
.Eng1ish‘plcnipotehtiury,-) ‘waved the right‘
of entry, into tithe‘ inner city, and it has
never been enforced, but the English af-
ter having opened‘ upon. the Cantonese;
with hos'tilit‘ies'for'seve_rsl weeks, tell them’
flnully it is only to force them '_to open
their city_'gntes,_ and admit foreign ofiicials
~There' is decidedly “something -rotten‘ in
-Denm;nrk.”3 Now that o.tfai_rs have ‘to.-
ken such u-serious .turn,‘ it is impossible_
to‘ conjectured where tlleyiall, will end.-
,“Yeh,"f,the Viceroy, will -not accede to

byibring ‘down upon ‘ his‘ head the wrath
"of the; 'Ell;peror_,‘- if,“on' the other hand,
he still coiitinues cbstins._te,, he will be in‘
imminent danger of being sacrificed by
his excited and desperate people, who are
.daily'u‘rging’hin_l. to -curiae-tchr settlement
of existingvdifipiculties, and have even of-
fered to ransom the "city; So it is plainly
to be seeuthat Yeh’s situation is any-_
thing-but enviable at present.‘ ,_
‘About ‘om dillicultics with him, he
seems ‘most desirous to conciliate the good

Commander-in-chiéf of the‘ Naval forces,
-that the _insult ‘ofi‘ered‘ to our flag (by his
oficisls at the Barrier Fol-ts,) was entire-
ly withouthisi sanction, and justly ‘pun-
ishablc,‘ and he will take care that a rep-
etition of = the chance he not offered to us.

' I suspect, however, -the summary manner

in which we resented the first offence,

. warns him of the utility and folly of pro-
- voking aggression; and as Yeh assures

us it shall not be- repeated, and as we

have sufiiciently vindicated the honor of
our flag,‘ thus rests our difiiculties.

The actual - news from Canton up to

‘English steamer “Thistle” was seized,

and the Captain and crew murdered. It"

Some years ago, when I was a single
muuund dreaming (as some single men
do) of double blissiyet destined to arrive, I
went to aconcert at the‘ Musical Hall of
Boston. Music is poetically and proverbi-
cally “ the food of love,” and in my senti-
mental state I consumed a. grood deal of
it; not that I had’ any object in view.
Mine was abstract love ; I cultivated it,
I increased my stock, sothat I might
have a good deal of the tender passion on
hand, whenever I saw an eligible oppor-
tunity of investing it. Well, to return.to
the concert, it was crowded to excess,
and the rush on leaving, to reach caps
and carriages, was very great. I wore
on that night a blue coat with brass but-
tons, and I fluttered myself there were
worse looking men in the room. I tell
you candidly I admired myself, and next
lo myself, the other party I was most
struck with was a fine girl, with dark
eye and black hair ; who sat with some
young friends a few forms distant. I
hoped she noticed me and my blue coat
with -brass buttons. I looked at her of-
tcneuough to attract her attention to
‘both ; and being as my friends would
say, in rathera spacmey state, worked my-
‘selfgiu a towering passio n—-oflo1:e. But
how was. I to come at ‘the object of
my admiration, for I was as diliident as
devoted, “asshy as I was vain,” as an
over-candid friend once said. Hail Col-
umbia, which concluded thecoucert, sur-
pr_ised,me‘,'as unprepared as on my first
glance‘ to . improve the occasion, and the
company were shoaling out, while I stood
'mute1y gaping after the object of my love
She and her party eddied
for a. while by the inner door of the con-
certrcom, and were then drawn out into
the retiring current, and lost to sight.
I followed quickly after, lest I should
lose forever all opportunity of identifying‘
my idol ; but,_a.l'as l the lights in tht ont-
ter corridor were few and sd far betwcen,
that: “ no glimpse of my star could.I get}!
I pushed and elbowed fiercely through
-the" crowd, withn view of getting to the
outer door before my fair one’s party had
emerged, and thus gaining once _more a
sight of my sweating. v.

" ,“ Hangit l.” :I muttered impatiently,
as I '-felt a-tug at my coat tail, and was
‘instantly conscious of one of my hind but-
tons fhaving hitched to some ladie’s dress ;
my progress was suddenly arrested.-
_‘f How provoking,” said I, as I was
brought to -a stand, for I could not push
on without losing a. button or tearing a
dress ;- “ how provoking the modern
fashion, .a lady uowhasuas many hoops
and tentacles about*her apparel as a sea
anemone.” It was with some irritation
I stopped to undo the button, but my
hurry made the task more diflicult, and
instead of undoing, I only bungled and’
moretwistod the loop around the but-
“‘ Please. to let me try,” said the lady
'she,uugloved her hand—-it was a sweet
white‘:hnnd; so I looked at her face.—-
Stnrsund garters’! but it was the fair

pursuit "of. As slle stooped over the en-
tangled button, a slight flush tinted her
cheek. . Oh, it was delicious. I hoped

deed, she would not, for her fingers were
twitching ‘nervously, and my heart was‘
beating-audibly.; I tried t.o help her; our

“ Pleusc to make way there,” shouted
a gruff voice ‘behind. We are blocking
up the‘; passage ; was there ever such an
unlucky spot for so lucky an entangle-

“ You hinder the people from going
out, Annie,” exclaimed one of her com-
panions with aspcrity ; “ plague upon the
tiresome loop, break it !” and suiting the

ward, caught the sleeve of her beautiful
friend's dress in one hand, and my coat tail
in the other, and giving a quick and de-
cided tug severed us

The crowd behind bore on, and we
were separated ; not, however, before I
gave my “ star” :1. look which I intended
to speak volumes. I thought she did not
seem unconscious of my meaniug—our
eyes met, I know, and this was the only
consolation left me, for immediately after-
wards I lost her and her party to view
in the darkness out-side. ,

That night I hardly closed my eyes,
thinking of my “ bright particular star,”
and what means I should employ to find
her out. Ikuew little of the town, which
was a large one, and to expect. to know
the name of my fair "one by mere descrip-
tion was hopeless; there doubtless must
be a. great many with dark eyes and black
hair within "bill of mortality” there as else-

My love fit grew more and more vio-
lent in the course of the day ; but I re-
turned to the hotel, and took out my
dress cost from my portmanteau to feed
my flame even with the contemplation of
the inanimate business button that had
detained the " black-eyed divinity” so
long. It was-with no little delight I now
discovered what did not before catch my
eye-——a fragment of the silk loop of her
dress still adhered to the button twisted

it was lilac in color—und stooped to gen-
.t_ly disentangle it from the bit of brass as
gently as though it were u. tress of my'
loved one’s hair, when something clinked
in the skirt pocket. I supposed I had
left some money there, for in my pertur-
bation and excitement I omitted to search
the coat on taking it oil‘ the night before.
I thrust my hand into the pocket. Gra-
cious me I ‘What did I behold, what did
I take out ?--a gold chain bracelet l

You could have braincd me with my
ladies fan. I saw at a glance. how mat-
ters stood——in_the excitement and flurry
of undergoing the loop from my button,
the lady lls.d‘uudoll'e the clasp of her own
bracelet, which had not uunuturally, fell
into the coat-skirt with which she was en-
gaged sud doubtless, on missing it instead
of re garding me in a romantic light, she
put-it down that I was one of the swell
mob, and had purposly entangled myself in,
her dress to rob her of her jewelry.

Here was an antic-heroic positition to
find one’s self, when I wished to be con-
sidered the most devoted of knights, to
be remembered only as the most expert
of pickockcts. Was ever an honest lover
in such a. plight, and to make it worse, I

action to word, the speaker leaned for- ,

the grave remembered only in that deal‘
one’s mind as the nefarious purloiner of
her bracelet. To find her out was impos-
sible, but a bright idea. struck me, as my
eyes lighted on a. newspaper lying on the
coffee-room table. I rang the bell, and
inquired when the local paper was pub-
lished. “ To-ulorrow sir,” he answered.
I sat down and wrote an advertisement ;
It was in the following words :

“ If the lady, whose dress got entan-
gled in a gentleman’s coat button, in
leaving the concert; last Wednesday, will
call at, or send to the Tremont Hotel,
she will hear something to her advan-
tage.”

There, I thought, as I gave the adver-
tisement to the boy, and five shillings to
pay for insertion in the Traveller, there if
that will not give me a clue to escape from
a. very unpleasant dilemma, and at- the
same time to know who my enchantress is,
the fates must indeed be very unpropitious.

ordered dinner, and waited patiently, or
rather impatiently, the appearance of
the newspaper next morning. It -was
brought up to my room damp from the
press,’ and then I read in all the glory of
large, type, my interesting announcement
‘But my‘ stars ! with what an ndver-.
tisement was it followed in the very
same column. I only wonder that my

follows ; _
REWARD——Lost or stolen, on the
night orthe Concert, at the Hall, a Gold
Chain Bracelet." It is thought to have been

*of gentlemanly apearance, who worea blue
coat with brass buttons, and kept near the lady‘
on her leaviugthe hall. ' '

Any one giving such information as will
lead to the recovery of the bracelet, or the
capture of the thief, (if it was stolen,) will.re-
ceive the above reward on applying to No. 7
Chambers Place.

Here was a pretty plig-ht——-to be ad.-
vertised in the public papers as a. pick-
pocket, when my old crime was like
0the1I0’—s, that of '

“. Loving, not wisely, but too well.” A

- My determination, however, was quick-
ly adopted. I went up stairs, put on the
very, identical blue cost so accurately
described,,and taking the paper in my
hand‘, proceeded to 7 Chambers Place.

I knocked at the door, and asked the
servant whoanswered, the name of the
family. . Having heard it, I said, “ Is‘
Miss _Ruymo_ud in ?”

. “ Yes, ‘sir‘,’.’ replied the servant-woman,"
“~wh§>-shall I say wants her?”

“‘ Tell 1_l’e_r,‘f’ ‘I replied, “ that the pick- -
pocket, .witl_1' guj gentlemanly address, and
.blue'co:at.with brass buttons, who stole
her‘brs_lc[e1ct, is here, and wishes to return
itto ller.'’’ :

The woman stared at me as though I
were ‘mad, but on repeating my request
to her, she went and delivered my mes-
sage .

Soon there came out, not my fair one,

“ With all that’s best of dark and bright,

Meeting in aspect and eye ;"
but uéstalwart brother.

“ T_hat,”‘I said, handing him the bree-
let, “is Miss Raymond’s property ; and
though, as you perceive, I wear the blue
coatwitll brass buttons, and I am fiat-

tered to think my manners are not un-

gentlemanly, I am bound in candor to
say I am no pickpocket.

“Then, sir, you shall have the reward,”
saidthe brother, taking out his purse.

“ N 0,” I replied, “ for strange as it may

stole the lady’s bracelet.” *

The man looked puzzled, but when I
told the truth, and pointed to the adver-
tisement in the same paper, as a proof. I
did not want the property ; he laughed
heartily at the whole story, and not the
least at his sister’s description of the gen-

tlemanly pickpocket.

“ Well,” he said, “ you had better walk .
in and have tea. with us, and my sister
will be able to say whether she can speak
to your identity, after which it will be
time enough to canvass the propriety of
sending for a constable.” .
You may rest assured I accepted the
invitation. Need I go further with the
story. The lady (to use the words of
the advertisement) captured the pick-
pocket. The bachelor’s button no longer
adorns my blue coat, and I have framed
and glazed "over the fireplace the adver-
tisement, in which I am publicly describ-
ed by my own wife as “,4. pickpocket,
with u gentlemanly address.” When I
charge her with the libel, she always
does what she has this moment done, pay
damages for the slander in any amount of
kisses, declaring, though not apickpocket,
I was a thief, and stole her heart and
pocketed her bracelet.

So ends the story of “ A B.lclIs.Lon’s
BUrro.\'.” «
