Autobiography or i Pocbefnaa4kercbicf. "Thia handkerchief!" exclaimed the young fovernesss "Ah? it is that bE Mademoiselle ulie, which I must have taken by mistake. But, why should this handkerchief awaken any feeling in you, mousicur? You are not about to enact the Moor, in your days of wooing Thia was said" sweetly, and withal a little archly, for the poor girl was glad to turn the conversation from its harrassing and painful spoint pbutrB etta was iu no humor for pleasan try, and.iie spoke out in a way to give his mis 'JfiSff Bbmie clue to his thoughts. is t'ihat cursed handkerchief" it is really in Sfdecent in young men to use such improper Ian but they little heed what they say when strongly excited "that cursed handkerchief vhas given me as much pain, as it appears also given you. I wish I knew the real secret "pi its connection with your feelings for like that of Desdemona's, it has ex cited distrust, though for a very different The cheeks of Mademoiselle Hennequin were pale, and her brow thouuhtful.

Still, she had a sweet smile for Betts and, though ignorant of his suspicions, which she would have scarcely pardoned, it was her strongest wish to leave no darker cloud between them, than the one she felt it her duty to place there herself. She answered, therefore, frankly and simply, though not without betraying strong emotion as she proceeded. This handkerchief is well known to me," the young French woman it re viyes the recollections of some of the most painful scenes of a life that has never seen much sunshine. You have heard me speak of a grandmother, Mr. dhoreham, who took care of my childhood, and who died in my arms.

That handkerchief I worked for her support in her last illness, and this lace yes, this beautiful lace was a part of that beloved grandmother's tiridal trousseau. I put it where you see it, to enhance the value of my labors." 8ee it an exclaimed the repentant Betts "feel it all, dearest Mademoiselle Hennequin and I hope this refined taste brought all the comfort and reward you had a right to anticipate." A shade of anguish crossed the face of Adrienne for it was no other as she gazed at ine, and recalled all the scenes of her sufferings and distress. Then I knew her again, for time and a poor memory, with some development of person, had caused me to forget the appearance of the lovely creature who may be said to have made me what I am but one glance at her, with that expression of intense suffering on her countenance, renewed all my earlier impressions. 'i I received as much as I merited, returned the meek minded eirl for she was proud only in insisting on what she fancied right and enough to give my venerated parent Christian burial. They were days of want and orrow that succeeded, during which, Betts, I toiled for bread like an Eastern slave, the trod "oVn on and abused hireling of a selfish millin er.

Accident at length placed rae in a family an a governess. This family happened to be acquainted with Madame Monson, and an offer that was brilliant to me, in my circumstances, brought me to America. You see by all this Jiow unfit I am to be your wife, monsieur. You would blush to have it said you had married a Prench milliner!" "But you are not a milliner, in that sense, dearest Adrienne for you must suffer me to call you by that name you are a lady reduced by revolutions and misfortunes. The name of Hennequin I know is respectable, and what care I for money, when so much worth is to be found on your side of the scale.

Money would only oppress me, under such circumstances." "Your generosity almost overcomes my scruples, but it may not be. The name to which I am entitled is certainly not one to be ashamed of it is far more illustrious than that of Hennequin, respectable as is the last but of what account is a name to one in my condition!" "And your family name is not Hennequin)" asked the lover, anxiously. "It is not My poor grandmother assumed the name of Hennequin, when we wem last to Paris, under an apprehension that the guillotine follow the revolution of Julv, as it had followed that of '89. This name she enjoined at on me to keep, and I have neter thought it prudent to change it. I am of the family of de 4a Rocheaimard." The exclamation which burst from the lips of Betts Shoreham betokened both surprise and delight.

He made Adrienne repeat her declarations, and even desired her to explain her precise parentage. The reader will remember that there had been an American marriage in Adrienne's family, and that every relative the poor girl had on earth, was among these distant connections on this side of the Atlantic. One of these relatives, though it was no nearer than a third cousin, was Betts Shoreham, whose great grandmother had been a bona fide de la Rocheaimard, and who was enabled, at once, to point out to the poor deserted orphan some forty or fifty persons who stood in the same degree of affinity to her. It is needless to say that this conversation was of absorbing interest to both much so, indeed, that Beits momentarily for jjot his love, and by the time it had ended, Adrienne was disposed to overlook most of her scru pulous objections to rewarding that very passion. But the hour admonished them ofthe of separating.

"And now, my beloved cousin," said Betts Shoreham, "as he rose to quit the room, seizins Adrienne's unresisting hand now, my own Adrienne, you will no longer urge your sublimated notions of propriety against my suit. I am your nearest male relative, and have a right to your obedience and I command thatyoube the second de la Rocheaimard who became the wife of a Shoreham."

Even religion could not furnish them with a cause for misunderstanding.

Thit example which they set to the last century, we will endeavor to set Adrienne smiled, kissed her hand to Betts, and ran out of the room, leaving me forgotten on the sofa. Betts Shoreman seized his hat, and left the house, a happy man for, though he had no direct promise as yet, he felt as reasonably secure of success, as circumstances required. Five minutes later, Tom Thurston en teredand Julia Monson came down to receive him, her pique not interfering, and it being rather stylish to be disengaged on the morning of tneday when the household was in ail the confusion of a premeditated rout.

Publishing Office, 39 Fulton street 2d Story. JSilTOBAIiTI CONVENTION.

The annexed proceedings should have been published a week ago, but the delay is no fault of ours. We give thorn now, not as a matter of news, but because it is well to place them upon record. lET" The Democratic Republican Convention of the city of Brooklyn met pursuant to adjournment, at Washington Hall, on Tuesday evening, March 21, 1843, for the purpose of nominating candidates for Mayor and five Supervisors for the first 7 wards, A. O. Millard was called to the Chair, M.

F. Odell and Henry Vandervker appointed Secretaries. On motion, resolved, that We proceed to nominate a candidate Tor Mayor by ballot. Whereupon, JOSEPH SPRAGl'E, having re ceived a majority of all the votes, was unanimously nominated for the office of Mayor of the city of Brooklyn. The Convention then proceeded to nominate five persons to serve as Supervisors for the first seven wards of the city of Brooklyn.

The following were thereupon unanimously selected william m. udall, William Ellsworth, daniel a. robbins, james friel. stephen haynes. The Convention then adjourned.

A. O. MILLARD, Chairman. M. F.

Odeix, Hemrv Vanderveer, 5 Secretaries. To the Stump. The Nashville Union the 17th inst. contains a programme nearly a column long of Gov. Polk's arrangements for addressing the people of Tennessee commencing March 24th, and ending July 31st.

In the course of his round he will visit every county in the state, and several of the principal towns in each and as he invites his competitor to meet him on all occasions, the people, we opine, will not vote in the dark. This we regard as the true democratic system, but whether it could be engrafted upon Northern usages, or whether, in fact, it is necessary, is a question. Where the custom prevailsit is certain that a man has no chance to practice imposition upon the people, even if so disposed while the rigid adherence to principles, publicly proclaimed, exacted from all candidates at the South and West, render cases of treachery, a la Selden, very uncommon. Among the scattered population of anew country, the practice is indispensable but here, where the population is more dense, and the channels of communication more numerous, it is hardly necessary. As a rule, however, we think that every candidate for a high office should not only answer spscific questions, but voluntarily place before the people a full statement of his views upon all matters of public interest.

This would prevent many of those after bickerings and heart burnings which are now of very frequent occurrence. ID" The proceedings instituted by the Coroner of New York several days ago in reference to the murder of Corlies, have been protracted to a great length, but as yet no clue to the mystery has been obtained. A large number of witnesses have been examined, but none of them are able to do more than conjecture that Mrs. Colton was tho murderer, while others have declared positively that the woman last seen in conversation with Corlies was not her. We can see little to approve and much to condemn in this practice of spinning out mere preliminary investigations to such an unconscionable length.

If there were any reason to believe that the proceedings would result in the discovery of the aggressor, it might be sufferable but when, as in the present instance, its only effect can be to excite a morbid state of feeling in community, and to expose a female, already stricken down with grief and shame, to the gaze of an idle crowd, we think it ought to be deprecated. Unfortunately, it is one of those cases where little sympathy can be felt for either party. Fire. Last evening, about 8 o'clock, a fire broke out in the new cottages, corner of Pearl and Johnson streets, one of which was destroyed, and the other considerably damaged. They were owned by Captain Wierdeholdt, of the Havre line of packets, and were built so far as they were built by Sylvanus White.

Loss about S1500 no insurance upon the property. The engines, though quickly upon the spot, were unable to confiue the flames to the build ing in which they originated, in consequence of the difficulty of obtaining water. A Polite Request. Our municipal justices received a note this morning from a person committed to the County Jail recently as a vagrant, praying that his incaceration might be protracted twenty days longer Some little time being required to debate the proposition, it lies over. Meanwhile, the penalty is nearly consummated, and the applicant is fearful that he may be permitted to taste the sweets of liberty ere his request is granted.

At Washington, the" "Rev. James Ddfie lan, preached an excellent discourse; the, subject of which wasja panegyric on St Patrick. The reverend gentlemen also gave a rapid and succinct history of the persecution and the. oppressions of the Irish nation by thft mother country, and urged his hearers' to endeavor to imitate the virtues of the' departed Saint, to be pious, to be temperate, and to be good and by doing so, they would enjoy hereafter the rich inheritance premised from the beginning of the world." At Buffalo, the "Catholic Teetotal Abstinence Repeal Association turned out in force, notwithstanding a snowstorm prevailed throughout the day. They were joined at the church by one hundred soldiers, likewise teetotallers, from the Poinsett Barracks, and all proceeded in a body through several of the principal streets, visiting the government functionaries, the barracks, At 6 1 2 o'clock, they sat down to a magnificent banquet, at which song, sentiment and good cheer prevailed.

We look upon all this as a favorable omen for Ireland, springing, as it unquestionably does, from the well directed efforts of her friends to repeal the union," and looking to the spread of temperance as the chief means of accomplishing that end. Possibly the compatriots of Robert Emmett may yet live to see his epitaph written when Ireland shall take hef stand among the nations of the earth." Gloucester County Court. The Courts for this county," says the Camden Eagle of Saturday, convened at Woodbury on Tuesday Ia3t, Judge Elmer presiding. Owing to the great interest felt in the case of young Mercer, an unusually large number of persons were in attendance. After the necessary preliminaries of organization, Judge Elmer, in a brief and succint address to the Grand Jury, alluded to the Mercer case, defining the legal distinctions of the crime of homicide." The Grand Jury was subsequently qualified.

The business before them was quite limited there being only eleven cases to act upon, six of which were discharged, and five true bills found. Among the latter, was one against Singleton H. Mer. cer, for murder in the first degree." The Eagle says Mercer was taken into court on Wednesday and charged. He plead not the oniy plea recognised by the statute of this State in a capital case.

He could not have plead otherwise, had he been so disposed. The court room was densely crowded, notwithstanding the quiet manner in which they pro ceeded in the matter. Mercer's appearance was as good as could be expected he is in tolerable neaith and spirits. The excitement is great, but universally in favor of the prisoner." Another Postmaster Removed. General Solomon Van Rensellaer has been very properly removed from the office of Postmaster at Albany, for the second time.

His first removal occurred during the latter part of Mr. Van Bu ren's administration, and great was the indignation of the "whig" press thereat. He was subsequently restored by General Harrison, and is now again displaced. If the grounds upon which the first removal was made namely, advanced age and consequent inefficiency were valid four years ago, they are more so now. The idea of a life lien upon office for services rendered, was exploded years ago, in theory, and should be in practice.

James D. Was son, a popular man and a sterling democrat, is the new incumbent.

We are informed that some difficulty occurred yesterday be ween a couple of fire companies, at the corner of Bridge and Nassau street, in consequence of their inability to determine, in a moderate tone of voice, and without any violent gesticulations, which was entitled to take the water from a cistern. As the fire was merely the burning out of a chimney, the interruption was of little consequence, save that it exhibits an unaccountable want of influence in the Chief Engineer and his Assistants.

03" The Bank of Oswego has temporarily stopped payment, in consequence of a run made upon it by certain depositors, who were dissatisfied with the officers elect. The Evening Journal says, the difficulty originated "in a disagreement in the election of a President to succeed Alanson Douglas, of Troy, who has officiated for the last two months." The Bank was in good credit, and had but a moderate circulation. A Grave Charge Three persons (colored) are indicted by the Grand Jury of Gloucester county, N. J. for a violation of the grave.

They denied all knowledge of the circumstances be fore the Grand Jury, although one of them had previously confessed the crime under oath. The Camden Eagle thinks their chance for the Penitentiary much better than that of Henry Clay for the Presidency. The Late Storm appears to have advanced against the wind at a regular speed of about thirty five miles an hour. At Portland it was very severe a great deal of snow fell, and tbe tide was uncommonly high, doing damage to the wharves. The snow drifts were tenfeet in height The storm was very destructive on the coast of New Jersy.

U.

S. Sloop of War Vincennes. A letter from the U. S. sloop of war Vincenncs, Commander Buchanan, has been received in this city, (says the Boston Mercantile Journal dated Trinidad de Cuba, Feb.

22, 1843, from which it appears that the ship arrived at St. Jago on the 8th in 12 days from New York. She left on the 13th for Trinidad, took a pilot off the port on the loth, but did not run in, but stood on for the isle of Pines. After sending her boats, viz. launch, first cutter and whale boat on an expedition, with the 1st and 4th Lieutenants and Purser, she made sail and stood back for Trinidad, made the port on Monday, the 20th at 12 o'clock, and at half past 6, was hxrd and fast on a shoal Sail was ordered to be made and the violence of the wind forced the ship off the shoal about 5 o'clock, A.

and released her from the perilous situation which she had been in for nearly 12 hours. The ship was then anchored in 4 1 2 fathoms of water, and a considerable portion of the provisions, thrown overboard was recovered. It is thought that the ship has receivea no serious damage.

N. O. Com. Bui. 16? Suicide.

Dr. William A. Matthews, who resided at 65 Murray street, committed suicide last night by cutting his throat The deceased was a na'ive of this city, aged 28 years. He had been occasionally intemperate, and some times affected with delirium tremens, and was durino the last few days of his life in a feeble state of health, but evinced no symptoms of insanity. There are no cause known to account for his committing suicide except what arose from his intemperate habits.

The deceased was a middle aged woman, and had several children. An inquest will be held on the body this afternoon. lb. Printing. By Rev.

J. N. Mafht. Go into one of our civic printing offices, from which is daily leaping forth the bright impress of the editorial, mind, in characters that shall never fade or die. Behold the swift winged mercuries of the press visiting every temple of science, every edifice from which knowledge can impart its stores, gathering it together, and sending it forth, anon, to the thousands of minds, in each one of whom it is immortal.

There is more to astonish the mind itself much more in nno of those printing offices, than in the catacombs of Egypt, the sable Magi of the east, the sages of antiquity, or the hidden oracles of Delnhna these morning and these evening sheets going forth abroad into the world, assimilating mind with mind, and making a neighbor of his' fellow man, in spite of distance, mountains, and intervening seas.
