But at Jast the English admiral drew back. He said he could not intertere, except diplomatically, and the British imtereste must look out for themselves on shore. Commodore Rodgers shrunk from undertaking active resistance to the Spanish fleet when the British cnmmander bad receded trom the position he had at first taken. Earnestly and most urgently did the American Minister, General Kilpatrick, and Com. Rodgers labor to save the town, but all in vain. While this was going on time was Jost, and the day of bombardment came, and the neutrals had still their property in the eustom-house and their stores. On the 3ist alt.. H. M. frigates Sutley and Leander, and the storeship, left the bay to take a safe an- chorage outside. The American ships also had gotontof the way, and about eight a. m. the enemy’s vessels began to take up position over against the town. The Resolution was placed Opposite the Central railway station: the Ville de Macridand Banca, tweive hundred yards from the custom-house; the Vencedoro close im to shore, to destroy dwelling-honses, and the admiral’s ship Numancia remained ont- side, signalling orders. At% a.m. the Banca opened fire on the custom-house to the cry 1 «Viva la Reina.” The others followed, each selecting some pointon which to pur its share of destruction. For nearly three hours the fire was kept up withoutintermission. At10.40 ama shell trom the Vencedoro set fire to the baths adjoining the Hotel de la Union, and the flames be in three streets, but the Vencedoro did not desist, but continued to fire on that part of the town up to the last moment of the bombardment with terrible and fatal regularity.

Two long heurs ‘Were spent in conversation, the friends urging that ahe was deceived, Possitly by the flicker- ing light, as the shadows it cast might have pradaced the effect she ascribed to vitality. ‘The feeling of that little circle of devoted friends is known only to themselves and Him whose all-seeing eye visits the inmost Tecesses, of our hearts. ing the conversation all eyes involuntarily rested upon the habili- ments of the grave and the features of him whorn they supposed soon would become one ofitseccupants. At the end of the two hours a slight movement was perceived by all the party. The scene which followed can never be described. The wife clang to the motionlesss form ot her husband, alter- nately weeping and begging of him to speak just one word, while the friends wept tor joey, bastened for @ physicion, alarm the servants by their strange conduct and presented a scene of confusion generally. When the physician arrived the friends qere assembled about the hiting man, suggesting and applying all the Testoratives ever heard or dreamed of by any one of the party, while the wife overwhelmed with joy and eompletely worn ont with ex- cessive excitement, had swooned away and was lying at the side of her husband, and in the same death-like stillness that had em- braced his form buta tew moments before. ‘The physician took the necessary steps to re- store the woman and resuseitate the man; which was speedily aceomplished in both cases, and as we write to-day the woman is joyous and happy, while the man thinks his escape from @ living grave one of the marked features of his life.
