Boston, Dec. 16.—A meeting of the merchants of this city is to be held here to morrow, at which we learn that more asti linking fraudulent representations of the working of tho Atlantic Cable will be exposed, and measures will be adopted to defeat the scheme of a grand Telegraph monopoly in tho United States, by the construction of a new Ca ble line to Nova Scotia, in pursuance of Mr. Gisborne’s proposal, and of new lines extending from New York west wardly. We learn that the most conclusive evidence exists, that the whole repre sentation made in the papers of this country, and simultaneously in the Lon don papers, on the 17th of August last respecting the transmission of the alle ged, first message of the Directors given •‘Glory to God," &c., and of the Queen's Message to the President of the United States was false, and a fraud upon the public of two countries ; and that oth er no less fraudulent representations of the working of the cable, are suscepti ble of proof and exposure. Congress will be called on to invite from the President information of the time when the Queen's message was first informally,and subsequently under an alleged transmission of it over the cable communicated to him. This is of no small interest to the Governments of both the United States and of Great Britain, and to tho people of tho two countries rich developments are forthcoming. The money is all subscribed for Gis borne’s line, and it will he completed to Halifax early in the Spring. Boora and Shoes. —The United States! Economist has collected some interest ing statistics on tho manufacture of boots and shoes in this country. The I quantity required for the consumption! of the United States is not far from! 75,000,000 pairs per annum. Os these [. 12,000,000 pairs are made in Massachu- j setts, at a value of $40,000,000 per an-j Min, and they employ 4-5,000 men and! .32,82(1 women. One half of this em-j ploymenl is in Lynn, which is the largest shop in the United States. Tho] next is in Philadelphia, which makes $4,000,000, mostly fine work, while] that of Lynn is coarse work. Tho pro- 1 duction is great in every city, town and i hamlet of the Union, and the whole! value is not less than $80,000,000 per] annum, In Philadelphia there are 457! manufacturers, whose aggregate sales] amount to $4,141,000, and Philadelphia sells perhaps 810,000,000 worth of Eas tern work in addition. Mexico Satisfies Spain.— According to advices from Havana, Gen. Garza has made satisfactory atonement to Spain for the outrages and injuries done loi Spanish residents in Mexico, and Presi-j dent Zuloaga had given the French Minister the fullest assurance that the ' demands of the Spanish Government against Mexico are to be complied with, including the payment of the Spanish l debt, and indemnity to the families ofj the Spaniards who were the victims of the massacre of Cuernavaca. The “war" then, which has been so long threaten-: ed against Mexico, ends in a peace be fore hostilities commence. Spain did not think it prudent to endanger Cuba j by any such Quixotte act as a war upon Mexico, with the fillibusters about rea dy to help the latter. Demand for Negroes. —The demand for slaves exceed anything we ever be fore witnessed in this county. At sev eral sales in the county, during the last ten days, besides the professional tra ders present, every other man seemed anxious to purchase one or two for his own use.

From twelve to fifteeu hundred dollars for men, and from a thousand to thirteen hundred for women, are the limits in which we have known negioesi sold in the last few days. - ChurlotlesvUlel ( Va.)

Os course she was a charming creature that had won my sudden affections. I never knew a lady to be anything else in the eyes of her lover. For my own part I thought Angelina was an angel. I have grown older since, and have discovered exact ly the difference between a woman and one of those serial indescribables. At that time I was too impressible and im passive to be observant. I originally saw Angelina in LTnion Park, and my heart, inflammable as tinder, was in a blaze in an instant.— My earnest gaze attracted her attention Finally it confused her. In this confu sion she run against the end of one of the benches and fell upon the walk. I flew to her rescue, and lifted her to her ! feet. She was not hurt, though much I mortified. I soothed and consoled her. In doing this I called her Miss Julia, when she corrected me by stating that her name was Angelina. That was the ! mode I adopted to ascertain the name I of my inamorata. Two days after that I met Angelina in the Park again. It was not exactly by appointment. Os course she would have been shocked at such a tiling, and I almost a stranger to her. But, as I left her before, I had said that I always took a tour of Union Park at such an ; hour every afternoon, and I could not help adding how delighted I should be were accident at any time to bring her steps in that direction about tiiat period :of the day. Accident did do it. When we parted that time I was silly enough ; to think that I had created a tender feeling in her bosom, and that accident might favor another interview. Two days more elapsed, and I felt j sure that she would come. But she did ! not. I remained in the park until j night set in and then I despaired. Just | as I was departing, and in a very mel j ancholy mood of mind, vexed at the in ! constancy of woman-kind in general, and of Angelina in particular, I paused. ] There was a cloak entering one of the ; gates that struck me as familiar. I watched it—l followed it. It was just! Angelina’s height—just her walk. But | the lady, although she observed me at her tide, was silent. Her face was en veloped in a thick veil. No hope of gratifying my curiosity in that particu -1 lar. What shall I do? I never was ro markable for diffidence ; so I easily con- I viuced myself that the lady was Ange I lina, and stepping up to her, addressed i her by that name. She made no reply, j except by a slight laugh. This assured me she was indulging in a coquettish trick. I was not to be deceived in that manner. I persevered, therefore, rat tling away all sorts of pretty nonsense, and telling her in every possible delicate manner how much I dolized her. Good ness gracious! how eloquent I felt, and I how happy. In this manner we proceeded up one street and down another, until we reached the Second Avenue and Nme~ ! teenth street. I did not know where Angelina lived. She never told me. ; She had forbidden me to see her all the way home. But I knew she lived in j the Second Avenue. On this occasion 11 had implored my silent companion since] it was after night, to permit me to es cort her to the door. Silence gives con sent, you know, and I did it. She paused in front of a large and noble dwelling. Good, thought I, my l sagacity was not at fault; she is aristo cratically connected. She placed one little foot on the brown stone door step; then, as if slid had changed her mind and did not care to ring the bell in my ! campany, she proceeded to the area | gate, opened it, and entered. I foilow j ed, of. course. Perhaps it was a little impudent on my part; but she turned her head toward me as I passed in, and I could have sworn I saw or heard a token of invitation. That was enough for an impulsive lover. She opened the area door; I still pursued her. She passed in ; so did I, closing the door af ter me. She entered the front base ment—a species ot sitting room--and thence glided through into the rear basement into the kitchen. I was close at her heels. | The gas was burning brightly in the ! kitchen ; but I never stopped to think j of my dilemma, and seizing her by the hand murmured : “Oh! Angelina, how 1 delighted you make me." She threw j off her bonnet and veil, and whew ! she i was a total stranger. I had never seen [.her before. I felt at that moment the ] full force of my ridiculous position. I ] did not lose my self-possession, however. ! On the contrary I threw myself into a chair and laughed heartily, although my heart was rapidly making an ex ploring expedition away down into my boots. My companion proved to he a good 1 looking young woman, evidently a do ] mestic in the house in question. My assurance astonished her at first; but ] recovering herself, she asked if she should call for assistance to pitch me into the street. In the most insinuating terms possible, I pointed toiler my mis take, implored her to forgive me, and protested that I had not tho most dis tant idea of insulting one whom I was convinced was as pure as she was beau ! tiful. That little piece of flattery se-i cured my favor. She forgave me, poiu-1 ! ted to the door, and desired me to go, j as she expected every moment a mes sage from the parlor above in regard to lunch, I thanked her and turned to depart. Just as she stepped toward the kitchen j door, I heard the sound of feet descend ing the stairs. How should I escape?— j Where should I fly to? Quick as thought [ I darted into a tail closet that stood in the corner of the room. The upper part contained the shelves, but the low jer part afforded me space enough to crowd into, doubled up. The girl im mediately closed the door on me and buttoned it. I did not feel very com fortable, fastened up in that box. Sup pose I should not be let out ! But all fear of this was lost in a still greater apprehension, when I heard the voice of a male individual who bad entered the kitchen. I concluded to remain quietly where I was. As soon as he departed, the girl came to me, and unbuttoning to door, told me I had made a fortunate escape, and added that if I did not wish to com promise both her and myself, I had bet -1 ter come out of that dumb-waiter and | bo gone. j “Dumb-waiter!" I exclaimed, “am I in a dumb-waiter, and liable to be hoisted up in a twinkling to the par lor ? Here was a fright. I uncoiled myself to escape ; but just as I rose, away went i the dumb waiter up toward the ceiling with myself inside. The jar of the | first movement threw mo back. I had no time to recover my feet and leap. I could but pull the door too as the box ascended, while the paroxysm of laugh ter that afflicted the girl in the kitchen went to my heart, and sinote me with feeling akien to madness. I would have sold myself at that moment for . three cents of any decent man's money. ‘•You may guessexaetiy how I look ed when the dumb-waiter having reached the dining room floor above, I heard the sound of half a dozen voices. Amongst them my heart recognized that of Angelina herself, as she ex claimed : “Now, pa, do let us have lunch, I am so hungry." 1 “Yes, you will,” I thought, “when yon see the cold meat that's ready for yon ?”—for an icy perspiration was dropping from every pore. There was a table set, and around it I beheld Angelina, her father and moth ■ er, (as I presumed,) two brothers and two sisters. Angelina shrieked and fainted, I darted toward the door, hut not quite in time to escape a blow from j . tho back of a chair aimed at me by one j ; of the young gentlemen. I scrambled i to my feet and then you should have seen the race. Fortunately the waiter i was just admitting a gentleman at the ’ open hall door as I reached it. Delight- I ed at the chance I bounded past the I visitor and made one leap to the pave i ment, three more placed me on the i platform of a Second avenue car just t passing. Need I say I have never en ; tered Union Park since ? I detest tho ) spot. As to Angelina, the very thought r of her makes my blood run cold ; and I if you want to create belligerent feel-j i ings in my bosom at any time, just say j i “dumb-waiter” to me and look out.— ' That's all.
