Monsieur Itaranrr, TUE MAN' OF TUB TWO ADVENTUI.ES. lieiug destined early lor a mercantile profession, I was emit, when u yoniii ot lit'teen or sixteen, to Bourdenux, in order to acquire the knowlcdgo requisite for my proposed pursuits, in the coiinling-houso of one of the first establishments in (lull ancient city. The hcud of this firm, which was an extremely wealthy one, wan ii. Durance, a gentleman, who, from nn old friendship lor my father, took me into htn oud houw, and was most parentally kind tome.--M. Duranco was well up in yearn, roiuid and ruddy in aspect, eocinl in his habits, mid possessed or one of the very best of hearts. He had one foible, however, which made the good soul almost intolerable to all mankind. Notwithstanding the grunt extent of the twines he had conducted, he had seldom been out or Bourdoaux. lie had only once been at I'aris ; but that once was enough. On that occasion he bad met with two atlvcntuim. Oil, Ihoso two adventures 1 Tongue cannot tell, nor brain conceive, tho delight which the worthy man took In narrating Hicbc incidents. II i tiiends were kept thereby in a state of perpetual alarm. They never heard Ihu words, "Did you ever hear mo tell '' or even, "Did you ever" come from M. Durance's lips without an internal shudder, and an instant retreat, if possible. ' Did you" Itself was enough to bring out acool perspiration, l-'or it' tin- good old meiclnint once lieglin, pause or rest was out of the question for the succeeding couple of hours. How often htivc I lieen compelled, niter dinner, to listen to theso two eternal adventures! It was not that they were uninteresting in themselves. On Hie contrary, they were of a very remarkable order, and still more remarkable as having occurred at one and the same time. Hut who can liMeu even to good thing for ever! Nevertheless as it is not likely the reader can ever have sul-frfrod from M. Durance's perpetuities, we shall repeat them oiice more, Willi a lit t Iw more brevity than it was the honest man's practice to employ. , , M. Dumnce hud (wcasion to go to l'arl upon business, lie had n curriuge orcharlot inwliich ho proposed to travel, but at the lime when he found It convenient tu set out, the vehicle required a slight repair, uud the merchant, then comparatively young and active, thought it best to ride slowly forward on horselmck for a couple of stages, leaving his servnnl to bring the carriage after liim. M. Durance thus hoped to enjoy for some part of the way, a more leisurely view or the country, which he had scarcely ever Been lteyoud a few miles distance from Ins own house. Accordingly, after giving full instructions to the servant, M. Durance set out re fioctrnllv ununited, and well untied, for h" car ried a Isrgc sum in bills and money. To do him Justice, he had a stout spirit, arid a fair share of cnuruge; yet, not much of either wtv required to travel abme at that pi-i'iod, owing to the admirable degree or ellicieney into which the famous Fouche had brought the police of the e.mintrv. M. Durance's first day's trael was unproductive of any wonderful event. He stopped lie-fore nightfall at a village inn, rested coiniorto-bly. ami the next morning pursued his route-While riiling slowly along the border or a largo wood, In the forenoon ol the second day, he olt-scrved a narty of men. nlso on horseback, a fchnrt wnv lefi.ro him.

TLe road now struck into the wood al ready mentioned, and w hen in the middle of it, poor Durauce was shocked to see the men halt, and turn round to observe him. ns if simultaneously. The merchant was at this time but a short distance from them, and cuuld not help drawiug up his horw also for a moment. While he was in this situation, one ot the men. after an apparent consultation with the others. K it them ami advanced tu our friend. Now is the time," thought Durance, "here comes the demand for my purse! What is to be done .''' And the worthy soul's heart sank within him. a he thought of the heuy sum which he Imre. When the man cumo up, however, there was no demand of this kind made. The strunger's first words to Durance were, " What isyour pur- fiose hen!" The merchant hesitated, and nt en glh stammered out. "I am come upon an honest errand, I Iiojm like yourselves." Ah. 1 thought so,'' replied the stranger. Then, alu-r a moment's pause, he Continued, "Well, ulmt will yon take to go nwav ? Will you take one hundred Ionia 1" Wysiilled, thoroughly, Durance, almost tif accident, liolled out a " No !"

Durauce was never so much puzzled in his life, but hiH spirits rose uh he saw no intention on tin put t of the men to injure him. and he waited quietly till lliu stranger's return. That peronuge niisuol long away ; when he returned to tho merchant, a bag of money was in his hand. This bag ho held out to Durance, saying. -We have come to the resolution ol just olleling you three hundred bulls at once hen; they are li you cattow io k" "t. them, continued he ; " upon VOLUME XLV.

Durante sat more liewildcrcd than ever, ami was about to speak, when the bag was thrust into his hand by the stranger, who at the same lime suid, ".Now tin lake it without another word. It will 1 as well for you, perhaps, as you urc abme ; nutl I can tell you then are mime determined fellows yonder, who would think nothing to drive you oil'. Hut I was lor a cninpromiM'. and. upon my honor, wo cannot give more.'' With this the man turned to moved away. Tart of this lat speech had made n wonderlul impiewjoit on Durance, who, though utterly unable to tell the meaning of all Ibis, thought it wise to pocket the bug, ami ride nnwimls. lie did so, and soon lo-t in lit of the slraueelv lilicral nurtv lie hud met.

Nothing ol Interest occurred throughout their further progress, until they reached the very gales of i'uris. Hut just as the vehicle was pawing the Itarrier, r gentlemanly looking per-ou came up to the carriage side, and thus addrum d M. Durance : Sir, you will have the goodness to go with mo.' "What?" said the merchant, "whither most 1 irn T and why V In a low tone of voice, and with the utmost civility, the gentleman replied, " You will permit me the honor ol conducting you to ,M. Fouche." " M. Fouche?'' ejaculated M. Durance in no small alarm at the thought of what llif famous le ad or Hie police could want with hiin( "I have committed no otlenco, 1 have broken no law, and 1 cannot understand why I am sent for by " The stranger cut slmrt this speech by aying, "I have been waiting for some time upon you, sir, Is ing Instructed ll.at Jon would ride in a carriage like tills; and your person, portmanteau, and everything about you, answer the description given tome. 1 cannot therefore, lie mistaken In the party, and you will have the gondneaa to attend m to.M. Fouche, who will himself explain his business with yon, which i more than 1 can do." There was no resisting this peremptorily civil request. Hy tho str inger's directions, SI.

Durauce grow as round as roll moons, and led the good mnn to the conclusion that Fouchu uud lhe,goii-tleman In black were things synonymous. "Von are M. Durance, of Bordeaux, the head of the extensive mercantile house (hat Ijeurs your name; nu hum in vour oortmatilcau the sum of (naming the exact sum) in specie, the sum of in bill; you nr awiui io resine m tuu u-tel II., near the Iloulovnrds; and it is your custom to retire to rest Rlsiut eleven o'clock." These ro but a few of the particulars regarding M. Durance's situation, purpose, and hub-It, which the public luuctionary seemed to bu aware ot. Tho merchant sat in mule astonishment.M. Fouche evidently enjoyed his visitors wonder, and before any reply cuuld be made, tho police functionary continued in these rather startling words: "Sir, you are a man of cour-aire i " We have mentioned already that M. Durance had a irood deal or nnirit sImmiI him, and be was now roused to make lh reply "that no ons had ever doubted his con r ago, and lie bogged to know the cause ol the question. "Sir," answered M. Four he, "You ar to bo fobbed and murdered this night." " Roblied n murdered I " exclaimed tho thunder-struck merchant of Bordeaux, "Gracious heaven 1 can tliis b iruof" "It Is true," returned M. Fouehe, " You havs seen how much of the truth, relative to your affairs, I am acquainted with, and this also is the truth. My reason for - putting question to you, affecting our oour nm. is this. K you have enough of that quali ty, vou will go to your hotel, and retire tu rent at the usual hour, placing your portmanteau, as hiiul tiy your iielitte,and net ray lug no suapi-ion to those around you. Otilv lake care not to fall asleep and leave the rest to me. It will bu unnecessary, and, indeed, improper, for you lo look into the cltitw-'ts or buueath the bed. In bort, do nothing, but go to rest as you would lo al home, and leave the rent to me. Have you resolution to do this V " M. Durance med- itateil u I it Uu, an was uoi unnatural, ra-iore giving an answer, on which the head of the police addressed him again. " If you do not feel inclined to go through with ilm affair, I will pro cure one to personalc you. This would render iheuffiiir more difficult, and its successless certain, but it might bn done." ' No, no," ex claimed our friend, "1 will do it myself. J will ml precisely as you direct, leaving my life iu vmi r hituds." "You may do bo, sir," replied Fouehe, "wilh perfect confiilenci ." After a retu'tition of his instructions, and re ceiving oniue further particulars relative to the inleiKlcu attacit on nun, tne wormy meriiiaut left M. Fouche, and having procured a street vehicle, was driven to the hotel, whither he bad sent bis servnnt and carriage. Thccvuning was now pretty well advanced, and M. Durance hnd rcxtcd hiiut-elf and taken some refreshments, it wanted liulu more than two hours of bod-time. The merchant fell hiniM-lf incapable of i?oing out. and he, therefore, sought a book and sat felill. lint with bis usual kindness ot heart, lie dnl rot wih to conn no other on his account. His servant. Demnray, who was a Parisian, asked to go out und call upon bin friends, "Ity all means. Joseph, ssiil M. Durance, "go lo see your friend!, but recollect to be here again by elevsn." After this, M- Durance attempted to read, but, rinding himself incapable of following the meaning or iwolinea togetlier.ho laiddown the book, id thought. Joseph returned punctually at eleven, and lighted bis master to bed. On being left alone, i hu courage of the merchant almost gave way. Ho looked around him. An M. Fouche bad tinted, there were two large closets in the room. The thought that, nt that instant, his intended murderers might be there, came across the mind of M. Durance, mid he was strongly tempted to Hat isfy himself before ho lay down. But be rec ullectvd liis promise he remembered how accurate the intelligence of M. Fouche bad been on other points uud he resolved to confide in what had been stated tohim, and to obey every direction. Having come firmly to this conclu- iion, he put out the lights and lay down on tho bed. The counsel " not to sleep," proved most superfluous iu the case of the honest merchant. His mind and senses were too much on the alert to permit him to slumber. Sometimes, within tne nrsi nour auer uu lay uown, no iiinugni nv beard stilled noise, but they were no continu ous, and led to nothing. At length, however, ibout halt past twelve, ine uoor oi nis neu uhainber opened, and a glimmer of light fell on tho opposite wall. Hnving purposely arranged the bed-clothes about his head, in such a way m to enable him to see without being seen, M. Durance then beheld three men enter, bearing a dark lantern, and each armed with a dagger and pistols. Olio of them advanced to the bed-side, and seized the portmanteau. In this person's race, to Ins horror, tne mercnaniuehcld uie linen rents of his own servant, Joseph Demnray! The first act or tho men wm to nn up and rifle the portmniitcau; but while they wero doing so together, each being unable seemingly, to trust US companions, ai, iniriuicu nuuru uie.ui ngrvu Upon tne necessity ol ins own immediate uentti, Ignorant of the means prepared by M. Fouche! lur bis succor, M. Durance felt the prespiration ' burst upon his body; but he was not kept long j iu this stale, for, ere tho rifling of the portmau-1 tenu could be completed, the closet doors burst open, five or six men rushed out, and in an in-iinnt the surprised robbers were iu tho bauds of justice. On tho officers coming out, tho bedroom door, at the same time, was opened, and lights brought iu, showing that all hnd been indeed thoroughly prepared for the relief of the merchant and capture of the offenders. " Ah ha !" II. Durance would here say, when narrating tho story himself. " whit think you of my second adventure? More wonderful still than the first, watt it not 1" Whntevcr may lie thought on this point, there is obviously Icsh of mystery iu the last incident than in the preceding. The extraordinary degree of information di-pluyed by M. Fouche, resulted simply from the circumstance of the vil-liun, Dcnmruy, having written from Ilonleuux to i'uris. announcing to bis associates the prize which wivi coining iu their way. It may lie thought that arouudaliout and dangerous mode for M. Durance wns adopted Tor the seizure ol the oll'enders.atid Hits maybe In part true. Hut it Is to lie rcincinlKTcd that the slightest symptom of nrcnaratiou would have awakened the suspicions of Dcnmruy, and would thus have nreveiited. In all niobubilitv. the capture o bis associates, who, though old offeud'-m, had long escaped detection by the police. As to the other points. M. Fouche. doubtless, had been a fin id lest durance, tl iniormeu previously oi tne treachery ot his servant, una ntner imrticuiurs, might have prematurely done something lo be-tray the tcheme. The wretch of a servant and his associates were punirhed as they well merited- M. Du rance, grateful lor his escape, biased the wonderful police of his country, peltli-d his busines! lo his satisfaction in I'.irk nnd in due time re turned to Bordeaux. It was not till al'ler his return, notwithstanding manv inquiries, that h could get any rational explanation ot the flr.-l of liis two adventures. Finally, however, by dint of local investigation, the mystery was r-olvcd. And what, does the reader think, was the cause of the three hundred I mi is being giv en to him. wilh such strange and apparently causeless lim-miity ? i lie explanation iMiupio. In that wood, on th nlleniooii In question, Iheiv was to lie a great sale of cut wood, which the put iv of men had come from a diMaucu to buy in concert wilh one another. 'Ibey looked fr u great bargaiii. having reason lo twite Unit no one would appear to bid ngainst them. Hut on seeing M. Durance in their track, they at once concluded that he was on the siiine "errand as themselves. On con sultation, they thought it wnrlh their while to endeavor to buy up his opposition, by the oiler of a good round sum. M.

Sh elton Mackenzie baa just published a collection of Prof. AVilsom' choice writings. He was for many years editor of Blaekwood't Magazine, and some of the most elegant literature of the language appeared la it during bis time. The JY. Y. Tribune, in its review, copies some of its amusing anecdotes and incidents. The review says : Some of Dr. Mackenzie's anecdotes w ill amuse our readers. Apropos of an allusion in the Noctes to " a famous mistnko touching a Mr. Wiuton, of Chelsea,'' we have the following story or A DIKHOP AND k noOKm.l.KH. The story never wa told in Blackwood, and Is too good to lie lost. Dr. Tonilino had been college tutor at Cambridge to William Pitt, was mudc Bishop of Lincoln by him, and in 1820 was translated to-the wealthy See of Winchester. He had long lieeu preparing a Life of Pitt, nud In wrote brielly to Murray, tu usk whether he would publish it, and on what terms, Kng lish b'n-hnps rtign with the Latin names of their re.tpcclivu Sees, instead of their own surnames. The letter lo Murruy was daled " Clu-l.-cu.;' where the bihnp had a suburban dwelling, and was si trued " Geo. Witilou," in contraction uf (jturgna H'intwirnsis, w Inch would have been his full Latinized signature as Bishop of Winchester. It happened that Murray was ignorant of this, and considering it a great liberty for an utter Btrangcr to write n three-lino letter to him, snt a sharp reply, to the effect that "Mr. Murray had received Mr. George Wintou's note, and declined tho proposed publication." Prescnlly Mr. Croker (or the Admiralty) came In, and Murray, whose dignity continued lo Ik slightly ruffled, threw the unfortnnatg " Win ton'' ooittlo across the table to him. " The very hook," said Croker, "and tho very man to write it." Murray, In amaze, demanded an explanation, and Croker answered, "The Bishop of Winchester was Pitt's tutor, private secretary, correspondent, friend, and literary executor'" " My dear fellow," said Murray, "what lias the Bishop or Winchester lo do with that letter ?"' Croker explained tho matter of the Episcopal signature. "Bless me," said Murray, "I thought it was some Grubb st. compiler, and wrote htm a stiff and naucy answer. 1 hope It has not beeti posted." On inquiry, It was round that the letter had already been taken, with others, lo the twopenny post olllce. With some difficulty. Freeling. the Secretary of tho General Post-Olllce, allowed Murray to get back the letter, in place ol winch ho sent a very courtly epistle, offering to wait on Hie Bish-: op. und so on. The result was the publication of the first part, In two volumes, of Tomline's Life of William Pitt. A third volume did not complete the work, which it was understood the Bishop was busy on up to bis death, io l27. The biography was large and dull. The best of the " Wiuton" joke was, that Croker, who knew the Bishop, and spared no one, told it to his lordship, who let Murray know, once or twice, that he was in the secret. Dr. Mackenzie winds up a slight sketch of Charles Lamb with n churacterintjc nticcdotc, which, though not now lold fur the first time, will bear repealing. ('1I.UII.K.-I I.AMIl'n rt NCTI AI.ITV. Charles Lamb, the gentle F.lia, was born in 177.i, and died in lKlt. Few authors have won more sincere and genial regard from " hosts of friends." His essays form one or the most popular works In the language. A great deal of good pity has been expended on the fact that Lamb was "doomed to the cruel uesg in daily toil." He was a clerk iu the accountant's office iu the Last India House, commencing on a re sectable and rising salary, his sole luisirs lie in or lo copy pnpers Into books of record.

The Statesman affects to lielleve that there ore Whigs who will vote Tor Dr. Olds because be used the influence, gained by a base betrayal of the rights of the North, to defeat the division of the State into two judicial districts, and hud something lo do wilh the Wheeling Bridge bill-one of those soulless coniuratioua whose shadows so constantly flit across the bewildered brain of the editor. Did thu Statesman ever hear of a certain chairman ol the Postofllce Committee who used all of that same iulluencu lo increase the luxes ol his poor Irish and German friends, by nearly doubling Ihe rntesof pontage? Why don't the editor bring this forward In his columns? Wilh a treasury, even with all the stealings of his political friends, overflowing with thu hard Ooin, icAy introduce a bill, sustain It In every Stage ot progress, and fight for it lo the bitter end, for inurea-suig the pile by increasing iho rates of postage ! Thu Statesman is dumb.

Kpitouh ; TheSfateiman and Democrat, of yesterday morning, contains an editorial under the raption of "County Tickets," which is evidently intended to produce a prejudice against the county auti-Nebrasku ticket In the minds or voters outside the city ol Columbus by I charging lhat the city exercised an undue infill- ence in nominating that ticket. The editor should have remembered the old adage " people who live in glass houses, Ac." and in that his mind may ls stirred up by way ol remembrance, 1 will state facts in relation to the lute Democratic nominations by the popular vote system. As an illustration, wc take the ollice of Clerk of the Court. There were over 1,4IM) votes cast at that primary election. Let us see if the present Democratic nominee for Clerk received his nomination from votes in the city or county. 1st. In' H townships in the county, Mr. Thomas did not receive a single vote, to-wil: Perry, Clinton, Mifllin, Jefferson, Hamilton, Brown, Pleasant and Jackson. !id.

Now, see what Columbus can do lu the way of muking a iiominutioii lor Clerk. Whole numlK-rol votes for Clerk in the city, .11)5. In Isl ward (which, by the way, is connected with tho Franklin township stone quarry by railroad), there wus cast 3ld voles; while any one uho will turn to the lust year's official re turns of the election will see that, when the county went iu favor ol some of ihe democratic candidates, by a UiujoriU ol near MHO, lhat ward could only furnish 174 votes in favor of the democrat; being Unvotes more than I In most In a ted contest can bring out, wbeu the bigs are to lie. fought. Mr. Thomas' majority In ib.it wurd was 2lu over the uext highest can didate.
