Our reporter inquired whas would be done in case of & Southerner regis. ‘aring bimerif as from « Northern State, and re oetved for » reply that of course « {alee registry would st once imply thet the pariy #0 acting was an enemy, and he would be treated socordingly. Already several hotels have sent in the names re- sistered on their books. Among them are the New York Hotel, the International, the Hot-l d'Europe, French's, and » few others, but the majority have net dome eo, and it was yesterday the juteniiun of Major Hayner to report the names of oi!) hotels which hed not thus aided the euthoriiies Menn- féme, Chief Young and bis detectives are secretly working to ferret out the incendiaries, and with every prospect of success. They have already made eoveral arresta, but the muspicious circumstances #404 ng them are for “reawns of state’ kept @cretly lodged in their own breasts. It wan said thes 6 number of men who carried | lack bags were erected on Wednesday night, but the report was ot confirmed. (Prom another Reporter.) The investigation of the plot to burn the city is with the greatest vigor and secresy. Gen. Dix is closeted daily with the detectives and athers who are engaged in this business, The ex- «mination of prisoners has been going on before » q@ilitery commindion for the past two days, and hose most conversant with the cases exprers groat sonfidence that some of the malefactors will be de- tected and punished under Gen. Dix's orders. The mye thie moment is under the strictest survell- tance, Lists of arrivals from the South are sent daily from the hote's to headquarters, and al! sue pected persons who iail to report themselves will be summarily punialied, The leading botel keep- ore ere doing all in their power to ald the author!- es and are ip constant communication with them. B is indicative of the thorvughness and sk!!! with which meamures have been taken that while the sosest watch |x kept throughout the city, the gents af the Government and their mode of opera- fon are wholly unknown to the public at large. The condition of things naturally excites much larm among the Boutherners in this city. Large wambers of thom register themnclves dally, and many have come forward to give what aid they can mM detecting the plot. The number of these refu- goes has been much exaggerated. Those whom op- portanitios give them the best means of judging es- d@mate thom at from ten to fifteen thousand only Of these « large proportion ere women and, oy) = Boutheruere who have ebdeadoned their property and fiet to eacape the the tyranny of Joff, Davis. All who rewister them- qalves are obliged to take the oath of allegiance. The only exceptions to this rule are those who for reasons of public policy are excused—of course « very email fraction of the whole number. The pre- cautions taken are such that it is probable that the city was never so safe as at thismoment. The Vigilance exercised is well Silustrated by the dis- covery of the torpedo on board of one of the Sound freight steamers, It was « little pasteboard box, only about four inches long, and was placed tn 6 boat which carries but few passengers, and which sflorded the best opportunity for such an enter- prize. Notwithstanding these facilities it was in- @antly discovered and removed. For obvious reasons we stil) refrain from printing the names of the persons arrested. Buch information is pre- clasly that most desired by their confederates still ©: large. Crry Government,—Tie Board of Alder- men met yesterday at 1 o'clock and concurred in the Councilmanic resolution giving permission to the Magonic Mission to erect s building in Worth street for which supplies can be furnished to the poor. The Board transacted no other business of importance, and adjourned to Monday next, Tax Councilmen also met, An ordinance for the better regulation of the New York Fire Department was called up. Pending the reading, the President desired to have an amendment inserted in section &, to the effoct that assistant engineers be elected every three years The ordinance, as amended, was then laid over. The Board then adjourned.

Dix to procure bim a pardon, and have him sent to the front. The worst part of the story is that both men complained bit- terly of hunger, their rations having been exhaust- ed. A subscription was immediately opened among the police reporters, and sufficient was raised to @ve theme supper and s breakfast, after which they were locked up.

He was companied by his solicitor, a litle dark, saliow-looking man, with » good deal of vivacity im his deep-set eve, ond as much restiessncas in his movements, This morning Mr. Parker's glance wae even unusually suimated, and be appeared almost on if suffering under a paroxyem of nervous \dieor- der, eo incessant were motion; bis bands aod feet, his head, bia nowe, his eye-lidsa,—even his ears, appeared to turn and twist themselves rae for be was a man both of integrity and feeling, be disliked the bualnesa he was engaged in at length, became Mr. Parker's reluctance, that be could not forbear inquiring (he did it in the mos® tremulous votce possible) whether Miss Hamilton wasfully aware of the nature of the deed sho wae about to sign. “Oertainly."" replied Mr Hamilton, with some heutenr, “IT have made every explanation to 4 daughter; and,"’ be added, stil! more haughtily, ‘* bave received Mas Ham!lton's entire acquiesc given after mature deliberation, without which should not, of course, have consented to —to this are rangement." “Burely, surely,"’ seid the man of law, ied retreating to the further ead of the apartment. an then again advancing; * of course Miss Hamilton has giveu her consent spontaneously—I dou't mesa \ imply anything to the coutrary—but as Iadiesde not usually understand these matters, I thought i# possible Miss Hamilton might have been swayed,— that is to say, her desire of meeting your wishes might have blinded ber."* Hore Mr. Porker's trepidation deprived bim ofthe wer of words; be looked round the room, sest imeelf, got uy, sat down again, took » piece of see- ling-wax off the table, broke it in half, then starti UP once more, nade a strong effort and concluded. * mean that Miss Hamilton, being s lady, and not ec+ cumtomed to law transactions, t quite under. stand what she's about; or the about; or thas she may not quite auticipate all the possible couse quences of signing that document."" “Mise Hamilton relies on ber father’s honour end affection; and I need hardly obecrve, that she will never bave occasion to regret the confidence she places in me. However, there is no objection to your again explaiuing the nature of ths business to my daughter ; I wish !t may be done." “Yes, yes" said Mr. Parker to bimeelf, for be wae too much awed ty bis patron's haughty man- ber to give utterance to any further expostulation ; “yes, yes, it is all very woll to trust to your affec- tion; and honour is a well-sounding word ; but Mies Hamilton is @ fool tf she parta with ber fortune on no better security, Besides, who can enmure her father's life? and if he dies before she is married, or without his having assigned to her a sum equives lent to that she is giving up, I take it she'll rue the day when she signed those parchments. But it's ne buainess of mine, and so there's no use of ssying anything more about it; however, I will go over the papers carefully with her, and then, ifabe choos- # to retuse her signature she may. [shall be clear, at any rate."* Mr. Hamilton, aa if anxious to conclude an une Pleasant tausaction, rang the bell violently,and, om tLe 6 rvant's entrance, asked, with much asperity, whether Miss Hamilton were not yet ready. This wae tho second time he had seut to summon Cathe. rine, and shortly afterwards she entered. No ¥ affectionate greeting passed between the father and h.rachild, He shook her hand, and replied to ber inquiries for Arthur and Mrs, Hamilwn with the utmost brevity ; then, pointing her to a chair, place ed bimself on another close beside, and desired Mr, Parker t read and explain (tnat word was spoken with much empha: the document in question, Mr Parker read aloud, and Cathenne seemed te listen : he endeavoured also to make clear the means ing of the paper, and Catherine tried to undersand. She made, however, no comment,—offered no ob- jection ; but having signed Ler name, bowed to the tan of law, aud left the room. The kind hearted solicitor could not repress an slaculation of regret aa the door closed, and Mr, Hamilton was far from feeling easy. Catherine's ready obedience touched # heart not altogether dese titute of fatherly affection ; and he could not forbear remarking that bis daughter's respiration had been hurried— that an air of oppreesive wesriness had areeesy replaced the expression of excited feelings which lit her countenance Upon ber first entranco— that her hand was (rightfully emaciated, and her guperseription scarcely legible, * Kate must return with re to Bognor," was his concluding resolution, ‘Yes, yes, the ses will soon set her cignt again ; and if she does not recov- er ber strength and looks by the sea-side, we cam #0, in Loadon ou her way home, and consult Hole and," Having tous decided, Mr. Hamilton turned hie shouchts once more to business. The luncheon hour came, Mr. Hemilton never ate luncheon, but Mr. Parker did; and while he demolished some cold periria e pie, Catherine's ta+ ther went in search of her, fie wished to inform her of bis intention of taking her to Bogner, and to be; she would hold herself in readiness to set off om the ensuing morning. Mr. Hamilton entered the usual sitting room-—his daughter was not theres he passed on into another—it was also unoccupied, Atihat moment the shrill note of # canary bird catching bis attention, he unclosed the door of the room whence the sound proceeded, It was an old fashioned parlour which had once been @ favourite with Catherine's mother, aud since ber death never inhabited, A painful emotion shot§across Mr. Ham- ilton's mind on entering the desolate apariment. He thought of the being he bad married for her gold, and whose happiuess he bad afterwards enurely neglect- ed-—he thought also of @ deathbed —of a prayer from dying lips, that, ‘as she bad ever becu to him @ true and gentle wife, be would cherish ber poor ors phan child," And the bird was singrng still ; apparently it had escaped ite cage, for it was perched upon the ledge of an old Indian cabinet, Almost mechanically, Mr. Hamilton advanced to secure the little truant; but eluding bis attemps it few first to the cornice of see window-curtain, then through an open door, into an acjoining room, He followed and descried the object of his search, Catherine. She was atting in wp antique bigh backed chair, apparcnily asleep ; for her eyes wore closed, and the dark lashes tell upon « cheek of almost siarthug whiteness ;one thin transparent hand rating upon the avutied arm cushe 10n of ber c » the osber held an open book ; work. ing materials, and @ few Iste flowerng roses lay on etxble near, The canary cage was open and its ace ‘ustomed inmate flew merrily from spot to spol Une ti] at length, alighting upou the piuuacle of Cuthes rine's chair, ouce more Le sang bis shrill aud joy. ous melody, his briliiaut plumage forming all the while us strong # contrast to the colourless complexe fon of bis mistress, as bis rich warbling aid to her ibeniimation, Mr, Hamilton remainoa at the thres- hold of the room ; he breathed with difficulty, and @ cold lc-¥ stooa upon hisforebead, There was some thing in the whole scene #0 strange and 60 unnatu. ral, that #!) his usual sel!-possession had given place to indecision And sul the bird sang wildly on, and stil) the siepersiept, Mr Hamilton mivauced, at length, and bending over Catherine, took Ler baud in bist then starteu, while an exclamation of borror passed hislps.
