W , bound bis arms, placed a rope round bis neck, and led him under the limb designated by Hales. Thiowing the loose end of the rope over the limb they awaited further orders. ‘'Once more, and for the last time,' said Hales, “will you tell me where your gold iB concealed?’ “You have my answer,’ replied Capt. W firmly. “String him up,’ shouted Hales, and in obedience to orders the sol diers tightened the rope until Capt. —— was raised off the ground. , is wife and daughters, who bad 1 11 during the brief coloquy seemed !( l ll( | paralyzed with fear, nuw rushed from the bu'Uing uttering the most piercing screams, threw themselves ou their knees before him and be sought him not to kill him bofore their eyes ar.d in their presence.

Size th the purpose of Hales to take his life, or allow the temales outraged, Cornwallis having strictly prohib ited both, at a Bignal from him,the soldiers lowered him to the ground where he lay without any sign of life save the feeble throbbing of the heart. The wife and children flew to his body, and alter a few mo ments of frantic nibbing their la bors were rewarded with signs of returning life. Wheu Capt. \Y was suffi ciently recovered to converse Hales informed him, that inasmuch as he had intended from the beginning to protect the females, that • lie •might consider his word pass d to with as ]jjl that effect.

Hales divided fifty funds of it among his men and kat the balance. He then told th» soldiers that what the house attained was theirs, and that he bowed them a quarter of an hour A sack it. They needed uo further 1 urging and dashed at once into tip building. In less than the time alpwed, every room had oeen pillage), and they gathered around Halesto await his orders, Some of then had snatched up blankets; one had a violin,another a number of the Captain’s shirts, some one thing, some another, and all had something. One drunken fellow came out arrayed in a silk dress that belonged to the Captain's wife, and was greeted with rhe cheers and shoutB of his heartless companions. “Ho you know,’ said Hales, to Capt. W , the price you will have to pay for defying my power? “I do not,’ replied he, “but if you make good your promise of protection to iny wife and daugh- tej»;T care but little whnt price ou exact” “Wo Avail see," said Hales, whether^.ru care or not.” “ T ‘*“ rn7 the Sergeant to !y «t 1 iitfijp,tji4>^nan« a ru The me females with tears begged him to ,(*s» a brave spare their home, or at least per- ho had laced mit them to remove the beds and battle with un- their wearing apparel; hut the posed; inflicted the- country.

As we have seen, the vessel on which Nina had been sent, arrived safely in the pert of New York. It wa« night when the vessel w»- made fast to the wharf, anil tie the man to whom the person o! Nina had been entrusted, hnvint resided for y-ars in the city, an, knowing nil its streets and alleys, went ash ire at mice with his charg and* proceeded without de lay to conduct her to the placi which Hales had appointed. Ii was situated in a quarter of the city occupied by the lowest and most vicious of its inhabitants. The buildings wero mostly of woo l and many of them were in a very dilapidated and tumhled-down condition. The dwellings were miserable hovels in most instances and unfit even for the protection ol cat tie. As Nina and her conductor pass ed along the crooked streets of this part of the city it seemed that al most every third building was de voted to the vending ot intoxicating liquors. Their ears were greeted with snatches of drunkin ^songs, shouts and horrible oaths. In some of these dens music nnd dan cing were heard, and not unfre- ■ man drunk uni ernzy! quor would reel forth into I the street and disc; poured iu the dark alleys, and once or twice Ni na, chilled as she wag, was greatly 1 shocked to sc e a drunken fi iv.a'e I stagger out into the street utter ing fearful oaths and gnallv disap pear from sight io the friendly groom of night. Nina nnd her conductor entered into one of these liquar dens iu this polluted quarter, and going op to the proprietor whispered a few words in his ear. The coriftereoce soon ended, and Nina's conductor carried her through a door into the rear end of the building. The room which they had now entered appeared to be used for a kitchen, dining,Bleeping andreception room. The room was lighted by a wood fire in aD old-tashioued fire place, for coal had not yet come into gen eral use. By thie fire was seated a woman with her head resting on a small deal table, apparently fast asleep. The glass, and bottle la- bled “gin,” told the character of the sleep into which she had tulleD. Nina and her conductor hod in terchanged very few words after leaving the vessel, partly because- the latter was not of a very com municative disposition, and partly because Hales had directed that he should hold as little intercourse as practicable with his charge. She asked him why he bad brought her into this fearful place? Ir m here; she is a child, and if she Stays here you know what s In'll he, and aj.e'd far bettor l-e deed than here. 7 Tl.o manner of the womanfrght- iiied Nina more than the scenes sh had witnessed in the s“eets, and .-hi* added her entreaties to those eel’ the woman. “(.-h 1 please air,' said the child “do ake me from this bad place-; I'll be a good girl, and ge) with you anywheres.’* The mein, rough nud hardened as ho w ,s appeared to bo really muted by the tears of the cliiW; bflt he knew eif no phice to which ho could take her, or if he had he did not dare teidisabe-y the iervMa«f Hides. “It can’t Ire done,” saitj he; “I’ve agreed to leave her with you mil I must do it.
