COLVILLE. A TRADITION OF THE COUNTY 01' DURHAM. IN the early part of the last century, Edward Colville, wno had realized a competency as a butcher and grazier, rethcied in 'a mansion called the White House, which mav still be seen in the vicinity of Gateslead. The respecta- bility of hiS.character; and the style in which Ito liyed, were such as to adnait of his' daughter attending the • assize balls in Newcastle, though these were then fully and eiclusive as they are at present. Gifted by natuie with an ele- gant -person, and with some advantages of education, Camilla was a young lady eminently qualified to grace those assemblages. It isnot, therefore, sur- prising, that at one of them she leecl the good fortune to attract the atten- tion of a young nobleman, _Lord Ossul- ten, the eldest son of the Earl of Tank- erville. It occasioned no small flutter in the room, when this gentlemen, after the proper formalthes, • requested of Miii Colville the honor of being al- . lowed to walk- a minute with her. She blushingly , consented, and rarely had the -ball-room of Newcastle exhibited a more striking .display of graceful Mr ve- ment-th6 -what was displayed while this stately dance was in the course of being performed. _Lord OSsulton was charmed beyond all measure by the beauty of his partner, and as he hand- ed her . to her carriage, or -whatever other Conveyance her father's fortune allowed of, he only vowed that -the first should not be the last night of their acquaintance. . The next day beheld the heir of the house of Tankerville, at an hour which would now be considered preposterous- ly early, calling at the White: House,, to pay his . respects to its , fair tenant Next day, and the nnxt again, he renewed his visits, and, in short, his attentions -became so conspicuous, that the young lady'sfather, from be- ing simply flattered by the1 notice of a person oftrank, began to fear that feel- ings might arise between the parties -which would only lead to &Appoint- ment. Perhaps he had even graver fears, which any one acquainted with the maxims of the gentlemen of that age will not deem to have been at all unreasonable. It was only in the im- mediately ensuing age that Richardson drew- the character of Sir Hargrave, Pollexfen. He therefore made some efforts to keep Lord Ossulten out of the com- pany of his daughter, but with no gre tt sticcess. Denied admittance to the house, the young noble still. beset her when she went abroad, sat himself near her at church, and got insinuated into any 'little social party -where she was expected. Mr. Col ville at length saw it to be nec'essary totake-very de- cided raeasures, and he -resolved to place the young lady tor some time in a new and distant, home. A r1 tion of his had been long settled as a mer- chant • in TeTcllead. In he lands of that gentleman he thought she -would be quite,safe from Lord Ossulton's ad- dresses. He had also very opportune - y a friend who conducted a vessel of his OWII regularly between South* Shields and the ports of Holland and be north of France. By means of his riend, it was comparatively an easy matter to get the oun lad cony I to her new home. It may here be re- marked,- that the ship owners, who in those days navigated their own vessels from South Shields, were a highly re- spectable class of men, generally pos- sessing' good education and manners, ivI3C1 living, when at home, in a style of considerable dignity. ,A),nonst the de- scendants of more than one of them, mignt be found members of both Houses of Parliament. They took the name of captain, and had, we believe, some solid grounds for doing so, as trading beyond Certain latitudes aud langitudes specified by Queen Eliza- beth, gave masters of merchant vessels a modified per -Mission to assume that. title. Captain Aubane-readily entered into the views of his friend Colville, and undertook to convey the young lady in safety ta her relative in Rot- terdam. She was, accordingly, conduc - ed in the most piivate manner to South Shields, and put on hoard' his vessel. How _she felt on the occasion has not been remembered by tradition, but if, as is likely, she regarded her lover with affection, and ,deemed the voyage a • compulsory exile, the authmity of par- ents were in those days, too awful and j. iflexible to admit of her making any- thing like effeCtual remonstrance. • The voyage passed in safety'; Camil- la was consigned to her fathers Dutcli friend; and Captain Aubane returned with the pleasing intelligence that all was safe. If Mr. Colville, however, _believed that Lord Ossulton. had been 'thrown out,' he was mistaken ; for be maay weeks had elapsed, his lord- ship made his appearance in Rotterdam, a,u.d became as troublesome to the fami- ly who had charge of his mistress, as he bad fornaerly been to her fathei. The Linden Walks lent their shade to certain meetings of the lovers, and when snch meetings were denied, his lordship made signals of affection from the street, which Camilla, could fortive- ly read in the friendly mirror project- ing from the parlor window. The Dutch friend now became• more die-. tressingly alarmed than ever the father h d been, in as far as a esponsibility f the interests of another is more har- r .ssing than responsibility for interests of one's own. He therefore resolved to get quit as soon as possible of his fair but perilous charge. Captain Au - bane, erelong,. returned to Rotterdam foi another cargo, and when _he was about to sail, Camilla was once more put on board his vessel. Behold the belle of Newcastle again ,at sea.. 'But now it Was with very diff- erent feelings that she crossed the Ger- man Ocean; and for this change . there was no doubt good cause: • The Dutch coasthad been for a day lost in the blue distance ; sea and sky were the boun- daries of the sailor's sight ; and honest .Aubane was congratulating himself on the prospect ef soon committing Miss Colville in safety to aer father's• keep- ing, When, descending into' the cabin, how was he astonished to behold, kneeling at her feet, that very Lord Ossniton who was the cause of all his apprehensions, and whona he supposed to have been left lamenting on the quay of Rotterdam. He soon learned that the ,lover had contrived, by the connivance Of a sailor, and, doubtless, with the concurrence of his mistress, to secrete himself on board the vessel a little while before it sailed. It was too late to think of returning to the Dutch harbor to put Lord Ossulton ashore; but, in allowing him to proceed On. the voyage, Aubane resolved to make him as little the better. of his contrivance as possible. Exerting the authority which his position gave him, he com- manded the young lord- to withdraw from the ca.lain, and not to appear there again, Unless in.:his company, and by ids express pennission. He also stipu- lated that while he was himself on deck upon duty, Lord Ossulton, to make sure of obedience to his rules, shnuld remain 'beside h ni, at whatever time of day or night, and un.der what- ever circumstances of weather. The lover found himself compelled to sub- mit to all these restrictions ; but the privflege of seeing his mistress once a, day, even in the presence of a third party, served in no small degree to re- concile him. to their strictness. In the course bf the voyage, which was not a short one, the heir of Tank- erville made a more favorable impres- sion on the mind of Aubane than he I had done on the less enlightened and in re jealous nature of the young lady's father. Aubane became convinced 'Li -tat, however frivilorts or otherwis o'ljectiona:ble naibld have been the feelings with -whichahe at first regard - el Camilla, he was now inspired by an hoaorable affection Ile waa also in- duced to believe the young man -when he erotested, in the most earnest man- ner, that the future happiness of his life depenied on his obtaining the hand of Miss Colville. The South Shiel.ls ship -owner did not, indeed, like the idea of encouraging a young nobkman in an object which roust be regarded with dislike by his father and other re- lations ; but on this point also his scruples were at length overcome, doubtless by persuasives strictly hon orablea The consequence was, that on arrivi-ig at South Shields, he alfowed Lord Ossulton to become an inmate of his house, in company with Camilla, until the consent of her father was ob- • tained, and the necessary preparations were made for their marriage. With respect to the feelings of the lover's family, tradition is silent. We may well believe that they are not favorable, for the union of the pair is known to have taken place at Jarrow church, the ancient seat of ne venerable Bede; a place of worship which, from local pre- possession, has been for ages the resoit of young couples seeking to enter the bonds of wedlo3k without the consent of paients. After the ceremony, the pair took up their residence with the lady's father at Gateehead, where they resided for some years. At length the death of his fa- thet made Lord Ossulton Earl of Tan- kerville, the second of the title, and Oaniiula Colville, as Countess*, became entitled to the chief seat in the splen- did balls of Chillingham Castle. Our heroine was aftei wards one of the la- dies of the bed -chamber to Queen Caro- line, the consort of George II. She played her part as a peeress with a due portion of dignity and spirit, and con- tinued, long after being the mother of three children to be one of the most beautiful women at the English court. She survived her husband in a long dowagerhood, and died in 1775, at the age, it has been said, of 105 ; but this is probably a mistake, though it is like- ly her term of years much exceeded that ordinarily allotted to the children of Adam. Cuba ---Its Geography and History. Cuba is 790 miles long, almost the distance from New Yoak to Cincinatti. 'Its. greatest breadth is 107 miles, more than twlice the width of Massaahusetts. Its area is about 33,000 square miles, being larger than South Carolina, and almost as large as Indiana, through its whole :length runs a lofty range of lime- stone mountains, the highest peak, Pico de Tarquino, in the eastern part of the island, being 7,600 feet high. or 1,500 higher than Mt. Washington. These limestone mountains abound in caves. The longest river, the Canto, -is 150 miles itt length, and navigableor 60 miles. The climate ranges with the season from torrid to - cool, but snow never falls. The seasons are two the wet or rainy, and the dry. The mountains abound in the ,grandest for- ests.and balm, cocoa, mahogany, and other valuable woods' Indian corn ows wild, sweet 'potatoes and rice scarcely require tillage).

Ouly five cities in. the United States have greater populations. Its harbour is one of theafinest in every respect, and in a strategic view one of the most im portant on the globe. Cuba has also many more good harbours for the largest ships. Sugar, coffee and tobacco are the great staple crops.
