ETCHINGS FROM LIFE.--No. VII. A RAINY DAY IN LONDON. Life has few things worse than a settled un flinching rainy day. It persuadeth to olives and 1, , A0 bottles of port, sickness at .night, and soda water next morning. It induces lethargy and hypochondriasm ; a bullet in the brains, suspension from the bed-post, or arsenic in a tea-cup,. In London it is the., ne plus ultra of abomination. the Thames olfactory, The air is full of fog; the streets indescribable. The very shops them ,selves wear a conscious Look of melancholy and desertion, and the eave s -d rops f rom t h e w i ndows fall with horrid monotony on the pavement, or noiselessly into the neck of some gentleman who has forgotten his umbrella. The hackney coachmen, with a wisp of dingy straw round their hats, and a bit of canvas on their •Shoul- . tiers; glance from their box on either side the street, with faces symptomatic of an over charge. Do not engage them, you will be cheated if you do. In the crowded city streets umbrellas wage war with umbrellas; elegance is dispensed with, amenity is at a discount. Ladies whose legs . border on obesity feel shocked at the idea of display, but the happy owners of well-proportioned ankles are readily reconciled to the impropriety. At the corner of Russell squar—that degraded Paria piece of locality— wlaere gales are apt to congregate, like thieves remind a Police-office, a gentleman in unavoid able chit-chat with two ladies whom be has just Ind, feels his umbrella turned suddenly inside out ; in his haste to remedy this affliction, his hat is blown ofr(if he wears a wig this is an additional .atisfaction) and he stands painfully vacillating be tween his politeness and the necessities of his sit u ation.—Alas for human nature, he has com promised his gentility and bolted 1 Abiit—excessit —evasit—erupit—full gallop after the abstracted beaver, which reaches Chief Justice Best's Area, in Bedford-square, just two minutes before him. In walking along Pall-mall with a friend, you ;ice before you the slim figure of some fair un known, with petticoats just sufficiently raised to call forth your warmest admiration. Unluckily she overhears you, turns round, and discovers the face of your aunt by the mother's Side, h devout old maid, who had preciously conceived high notions ofraur morality, and from whom you had great exFatations. At the theatre all is gin= the Cl(awn strives in vain to grin, the audience to app' and : Harlequin is dyspeptic, Columbine has gut the tooth-ache. Towards midnight this gloom degenerates intoa hopeless drizzle, the fogdeepei,..., the West End - looks disconsolate, and a liglit' from a front room in BrutOn-street casts_ a apelanC.koly gleam across the pavement. It is Lard lord's lamp, he is dating a despatch bon.

(" A Rainy Day iu theCountry"te-aiorefiv.) CHIVALROUS UNDERTAKING The lovers of science and admirers of Baron Humboldt and Mons. Bonpland, will be inte rested in the noble enterprise of Madame Bonp land„ in search of her husband, It is known t hfit he has long been detained in Paraguay by the absolute Director Dr.Francia, although the Doctor has takcn some pains to convince the world, by weans of the 13razil Press ; that Moos. Bonpland iemaina in Paraguay by choice, and not by ne cessity. . Devoted to general science, and to Bo tany in particular, knowing that the greatest field in the world was oeeit to him in that de partment in Paraguay, ne ventured upon enter ing that singular Republic, from which no stran ger has been known to return during Dr. Fran cia's reign, in the hope that the character which be bore, and the pursuits in which he was en gaged, would be his safeguard from the jealous suspicions. The Paraguay Jesuit, how ever, whose great care is to keep his subjects ;slur European contamination, and contact with Republican America, hermetically, as it appears, sealed the country to him on his entrance.— Much interest had been made for his release, not only by European Monarchs, but by Buenos Ayres and Don Pedro the Emperor of Brazil, but without effect. Madame Bonpland directed her voyage, in the first instance, to Rio Janeiro, but on her arrival there found the young Em- Ifieror had it not in his power to assist Fier romantic enterprise, having already failed in hi s repeated efforts iii favour of her husband. She accordingly left Rio in a French store-ship, and after a most tempos•-• tuous voyage arrived in Chile, where she re mained several weeks, during which time she re; ceived every attention Ccoin the British merchants and residents, and in particular from Capt. Juby, of his Malesty's ship ;Wage. Upon her em barkation tor Peru, she encountered a repetition of misfortunes in the loss of her trinket box, containing j e wels to a con s id era bl e amount—a Joss, in her circumstances, she 'was little able to Sustains Nothing, • however; could damp the ardour of this extraordinary woman. She at tiyed at Lima, and took up her abode in th e l iciuse of an English merchant to whcwhomshe was tccounnended. From thence, notwithstandinn• - the stron g renjonstrantccs of' her friends , s he s e t ‘i t t . for Upper Peru, determined to prosecute her undertaking. Marshal Sucre, President of that, Republic, accorded her his protection, and ma' .itle3tell the greatest interest in her wehre. Sub erlucutly she . set off from Arica and Tacua, to traveeee those immense wilds, hitherto Unex plored by civilized man, and but little knOwn even to the native Indian, which separate the two counttias.' She was accompanied by a little black slave only, of- It years of age. The next accounts of the chivalrous under- . taking of this heroic woman, will be looked for with the greatest interest by all lover s of science and the arts, to wkom this brief account of her progress hitherto cannot fail to prov e hi g hl y in terestin m a y a gracious , Piovide nee crown g. her labours with success, and restore herself, her husband, and the treasures which he possesses for the enriching of science, to his behaved country and an admiring world !—Mornina .ldvertiser. We do not remember to have had for a long time such a heavy gale of wind as was experienced here last Saturday. The tea ran very high with a heavy swell. A small groyne near the pier was completely washed away. --Brighton Gazette. FOREIGN INTELLIGENCt. FRENCH 'PAP.thtS. - (From the Jeuttal des .belnds, Aug. 12:). PAnts, AJG. I L.—The trtoen;we reflect. on the rsition of England as it regatds Eueope, or as it regards itself; the 'More We ate torivinced that its present state Of inaction cannot be long, and that events will .vety soon, whether it will or not, bring it back upon the stage from which its Ministers haVe latterly so completely erased it. Self-denial is a private virtue which is not of a very durable nature even in individuals; but .the political disin terestedness of a nation which has ships and men, when great- questions are on the point of being de , cided by sea and land, would be a very uncertain element of the combinations that are preparing; and the Cabinets of .utope will do well not to found their calculations on this anomaly. Whatever humanity England may have shewn in ?la conduct towards Portugal, it cannot be denied that the events of the Peninsula have struck her to the heart. There is not a more pitiable sight than that of Don Miguel saluting with his usurpations the last English soldiers under sail from Lisbon for Plymouth. The Cabinet of the Regent shut against Sir F. Lamb during his official residence as Ambas sador from his Britannic Majesty—acclamations of joy in the Government Gazette on the departure of that Freemason—the dinouement of so melancholy a drama consummated amidst cries of Dedi to the Constitution, to - the legitimate King, anti to the Eng lish!' Sir J: Doyle cast into a dungeon, reclaimed by a diplomatic intervention refused, and brought before the merciful tribklnt of nine inquisitors; Eng lish subjects arrested at Oporto, their property con fiscated to -pay the expences of the Usurper's cam paign, and perhaps those of his coronation ; lastly, the embargo laid on vessels which the British nag no longer protects in the Tagus and the Douro, if they have on board a single victim of Don Miguel; or a few piastres, if taken by a faithful subject of Don Pedro going into exile. This is, in a few words, what England has jest expe rienced in Portugal. And let us remark, that this is only what may be called the miter side of the question. We must see is it, besides, an alliance of vital importance, in the opinion of all States men who have succeeded each other in power in Englatid, hazarded, and perhaps irretrievably lost, by these last dissensions. Now all this is only the s ork of the triumph of a party ; and the vanquished of to-day becoming victors to-morrow,• restore with usury, to .England the advantages which she has so strangely.abandoned. So long as her intervention was only useful, li. an apparent and cautious concession to the prin ciples of the law of nations, she timidly gave way to the first pretext that presented itself to free her self from it. Has she waited to resume it when it shall become necessary ? Has she wished that gra titude should increase with the importance of the service ? Is it necessary, in order completely to satisfy Europe, or to deprire it of all ground for complaint, that the signal should come from Rio ? Is it without any reserved design, without ob ject, that the English Ministers, for this month past, have been talking only of th e a u gus t Chi e f of the 1-I° "° of 1 . 111 -glorl l and of their religious ciisereance of the treaties Which bind Great Britain 1 :: .

We do not believe it. Troops have not been as sembled at a great expense on this coast : so many transports have not been freighted ; our old ships have not been put into dock ; and new ones do not come out, for the mere purpose of hastening an event which was always thought at least probable without our intervention. Amore elevated thought directed the conception, which has been hailed by France, and is worthy of her new destinies. She hes resolved to be represented in the East otherwise than by Ambassadors and Consuls, at the moment when Russia w•is marching with 300,000 men against Constantinople, and ►►hen Austria ►vas covering its Eastern Frontier with Camps of Exer cise, and Corps of Observation. After Ibrahim is gone, there still remains enough to do in the Levant for our ships to sail from Toulon. Far be from us the idea of speculating on the gratitude of Greece; but far from us also be the project of renouncing it en the first opportunity that presents itself of paying for it less dearly. This whole tract, which is inhabited by Armenian!, now presented a portion of entire desolation, as the Turkish Government has removed all the inhabitants to the most remote parts. The enemy was first seeu near Meschkow, on the 29th. His cavalry in great numbers had come from the fortress to the distance of 16 wersts, and 'attacked'our advanced postS, but was repulsed, reinforcements came tip. The bbldnesS of his cavalry in venturing so far from the fortress, as well as the aecOurits that We. received' from our scouts, showed that the garrison of Kars' teas numerous, and Consisted of very good troops. —Tht• cavalry amounts to about 5,000, and the infantry, which appears to include all the inhabit ants capable of bearing • arms, probably amounts also to 5,000 men. The General resolved,b y a side movement, to turn the fortress, and by taking a po• sition on'the great road fromErzeroum, to Cu t off the communication between Erzeroum and Kars, and thus deprive the fortress of the reinforcements which the Seraskier was bringing to Kars, at the head of 20,000 mew. This operation was executed in perfect order, in sight of the fortress, without any interruption from the enemy. On the Ist of July, the General, With the greatest part of the troops, marched towards Kars, intending to make a recon noissance. The ttoops had scarcely sbewn thetn= selves" in order of battle on the farthest eminences which slope towards the fortresses, when a numerous body of cavalry sallied out, and attacked with impe tuosity the foremost regiments of Cossacks. The Ge neral, seeing the possibility of coming to a general ac tion, desired to draw the enemy as far as possible from the fortress, and ordered the Cossacks gradually to retreat from the front towards the left flank. The enemy, in assurance of victory, followed the Cos sacks, and the General immediately ordered Major General Baron Ostensacken, with a division of Cos sacks, Minns, and Tartars, and two cannon, to cut of the enemy front the fortress. This manoeuvre, executed under the lire of the fortress, astonished the enemy, who suffered great loss. The field was covered with dead ; and twenty of the bravest par tisans, among whom were some officers, were made prisoners. The latter said that the enemy had 100 killed, and 200 wounded. We had 12 killed, and 12 wounded. (The remainder of the article de scribes the strength of the fortress, and an Article from Tiflis of 10th July gives the account of the taking of the fortress in all respects conformable to that received through Paris.) The Emperor has been pleased to address a most gracious rescript to Sir J. Wylie, expressive of his satisfaction at the admirable arrangement of the medical department of the army. Arrived at Cronstadt to the 27th July, 682 ships; sailed, 512.—St. Petersburgh Journals to 3014 July. SEMLIN, JULY Servia all parties are making active preparations. The Turks and the Servians look for the issue of the war with very different wishes and hopes. The hitherto incon siderable progress of the Russian arms in this pro vince cannot fail to increase the uncertainty and anxiety that agitate all classes of people. The Turkish garrisons on the Danube are continually re inforced by small detachments. Widdin is said to have now again a garrison of 13,000 men, and a camp of 24,000 men is forming near the town, to hinder the Russians from crossing the river. We have an unfavourable summer, with violent tempests and hail storms, which have done much damage.— Allgenzeinc Zeitung, August 8.

HAGUE, AUG. 13.—Our Journals contain a very long programme of the ceremonies which are to take place on the baptism of the infant Princess of the Netherlands, on the 18th of August. The young Princess and her august mother ate in good health. It having been reported that the epidermic disorder had again manifested itself in Groningen, we think it our duty to inform the public that this is not the case; and that in the first six months of this year, and the first two weeks of July, be number of births in that city was .599, and that of deaths 488; and the proportion has remained equally favourable up to the Bth of August. Accounts from Vienna of the Ist August, say that the recruiting for the army has recommenced ; the provinces, exclusive of Hungary, are to furnish 40,000 men ; the purchase of 8,000 horses is also ordered, but no doubt is entertained at Vienna of the maintenance of peace.

This vill age Is in Schuragel, on I t h e river Arratchai. Here the troops were assem bled, all the magazines coll ecte d, and heavy artillery the Persian camp a i gn, has beet: sur rounded with a wall and toastio n s, 1; ut in order. The_ place, Nv hi eh was entirely.de stroyed dur:rig aad secured against any hostile attack, under the directi on o f General Prince N% - adbolqk i, and an hospital established, with a quarantine. ' On time 26th, ,Divine Service was performed on an eminence near the river Arpatchai, in view of the snow-covered s,utnmits of the Allah Ges (G o d' s Eye), and of the Holy Mountain Ararat. Th e troops, which had so lately endured the fatigues of the Persian campaign, were , in the fittest order. Two months' repose has, as it were, regenerated them. The troops immediately afterwards crossed the Ar patchai, which was the first step to hostile ope rations. - BEFORE KARS', .41,1: 2.—The army under Gen. raskewitsch having passed the frontiers on the 26th of June, advanced directly towards Kars, tl.te ca pital of the Pachalik of the same name, through the villages of Dignio, Palderavan, and Meschkow.— , , sy 7C b i LONDON. FRIDAY EVENING, AUGUST 15, 18213. The - Resignation of his Royal Highness the Duke of CLARENCE will be a death-blow to the hopes of the Navy, fur merit, and merit alone, was the passport to promotion and honourable distinction with the LORD HIGH ADMIRAL. Witk him the crooked policy which seeks pre ferment through Parliamentary intrigue and cor rupt influence found no favour. Hence the continuance of his Royal Highness at the head of the Navy was felt as a stumbling-block in the way of corrupt patronage. The straight forward line of conduct pursued by the LORD HIGH ADMIRAL Was another grievance to those who felt that their character suffered in public opinion by tl►e contrast. The Duke very happily illustrated by his manliness and actions the blunt characteristics of the sailor — while his firmness of purpose inspired cohfidence , and diffused universal satisfaction through the various departments of the Navy. His admi nistration—or rather his general inspection of the several Dock-yards, while it gave an impulse to public business, by exciting a generous emulation,. only served in certain quarters to give serious offence. The Duke of WELLINGTON corn plained of his Royal Highness's expellees, while others cavilled at a display of pageantry and parade—insidiously endeavouring thereby to conceal, under imputed causes, the real feelings of jealousy which pointed their malignity. We know that the retirement of his Royal Highness will occasion regret as lively as his accession to office difhlised the most enthusiastic joy. But the Duke of WELLINGTON wanted the right arm of patronage by the loss of naval influence. I Besides the appointment of the LORD HIGH ADmlnAt was a master-stroke of CANNING'S genius that mortified the rebellious spirit of the ►SEVEN SECEDERS, in a manlier not to be for given or forgotten. And behold an opportunity has arrived to put the finishing hand to that policy which ensured to this country the respect df . foreigh nations, because it inspired their fear. The Duke of WELLINGTON is an excellent sol dier,. but a most " untoward " politician. The hearty welcome which the Duke of CLARENCE gave to the heroes of Nayarit' was another source of annoyance to the Military Commander, who has no sympathy with naval matters whatever. The LORD HIGH ADMIRAL divided the glory of the Vremier's popularity, and must pay therefore the expence ! Some substitute must be found whose subserviency may minister to the patronage of the Aristocracy and the pride of the . PREMIER. We should not be surprised, in the event of Lord NIELVILLE'S refusal to return to his old haunts, if the Duke were to place some General Officer, who had been a voyage or two to sea, at the head of the Admiralty. The Duke is like a man of ONE idea : he can see no glory, and appreciate no talent, in any other profession than his own.— But OTHELLO'S occupation will _not endure for ever., The Allgen:eine Zeitung, and Frankfort Papers of the gat August, have been received this morning, but they do not add any thing material to our previous news from the East of Europe. Much is expected from the Concentra tion of the Imperial Army, and probably the next accounts will bring us the storming of Schoumla CAPASRUHE, AUG. 5. Baron D'Otterstedt, Prussian Minister in Switzerland, where be bee resided many years, arrived here yesterday. ODESSA, JULY 9. Her Majesty the Emprees, who still honours our town with her presence, and derives great benefit from sea-bath ing, will remiin here till the return of the Emperor from the campaign. It seems that the military operations will be prosecuted with the greatest energy, now that the whole army is together, and that the few remaining months of fine weather will be employed in approaching the Turkish Capital. Admiral Greigh, who directed the siege of Anapa has received orders to support the army on the sea side, and will probably be employed in destroying the batteries erected on the coast in the vicinity of Constanti nople, as soon am the army has succeeded in investing the city. The numerous transports for the conveyance of troops, which sailed from our port a few days ago, confirms this supposition. A division of Admiral Griegh's fleet has already arrived at Sebastopol, where it mtaits for the Admiral to proceed to its destination. Several physicians have been sent from this town to Bucharest to superintend the execution of the sanitary measures necessary there, the state of Wallachia being a subject of great alarm on account of the plague. Several persons in this town, military as well as civil, have'been arrested, and several merchants, not settled here, have been placed under - the superintendence of the Police. The real ground of this measure is not known, but it is supposed to have been caused rather by imprudeni expres sions and improper conduct of the individuals concerned, ,than by any real political misdemeanours. STUTTGA RD, AI:G. 5. The vineyards in the kingdom of Wurtemburg are laden with fruit, and the produce will probably far exceed in quality that of most years. The grapes are also very for ward. At Mergentheim the branches were above a foot in length on the let July, and a week and even a fortnight ago there were grapes nearly ripe, even in the lees favour able aspects. if we have warm weather the quality will be excellent. This prospect has caused the old wines to fall to prices lower than they have been for these 40 years. The corn has happily not suffered this year by hail; the harvest was good and abundant. AUGSBURGII, AUGUST 7. Prince Nicho:as Esterhazy has purchased the beautiful island of Meiuow on the lake of Constance, and the Lord ship of Gaiiingen, in the bailiwick of Rudolph Zell. He was lately at Csilsruhe, to pay hia respect* to the Grand Duke, and has now returned to Vi►nna. The Prince is going to have extensive improvements in this fine island, and means to have a strong wall built to protect it against the encroachments of the lake. STOCKHOLM, JULY S 3. A company of English gentlemen has been here for this week past, who have a pleasure Yacht of their own, in which they mean to visit successively all the principal ports in the Baltic. They receive with great hospitality the numerous visitors that go to see them. The Government purchased of the heirs of the late Count Wirensen a number of Cachemere and other sheep, which he imported from his estate at Djursholm, but which the Government intends for the Royal Academy of Agri culture. The price of copper is continually declining, without any proportional incresae in the quantity pro duced. The Russian General Suchtelin is the same who in the last war between Sweden and Russia, commanded the corps which besieged Ana took the fortress of Swesborg. Notwithstanding the late heavy rains in this country, and the apprehended damage of the crops, we have yet the consolation of hope for the better ; but in some parts of America the crops have entirelyfailed. The Norfolk Herald, of the ‘23d July, has the following article, which is sufficiently alarming. "We learn with regret that the wheat crop in the neighbouring counties of North Carolina has, in many instances, totally failed, and that there has been very little, if any, saved for market." rct. , ;d , r L-1 The following is an extract of a letter from Rio dc Janeiro, dated the 14th June, 1828, ad dressed to an eminent mercantile house in the City, from which it Ipi)carsilie Emperor Don PEDRO has his hands full in Brazil, without interfering with the affairs of Portugal, even if he was so inclined " Times have been gloomy enough of late, but we fear that we have not seen the worst of them. Our bank, which only issued copper for a long time past, has stopped payment altogether. This would appear alarming enough by itself, had not the conviction failed of support on the part of the Government, whose debt to that establishment amounts to 4-3ths of its notes in circulation. Fur the effect of ap peasiug the public anxiety in this respect, a commission has been appointed for examining the affairs of the bank, and the Chambers are likewise busied on the same subject, and are about relieving - the public of the calamities su►'fered from the scarcity of copper coin. One of the cashiers has shot himself, and left a very heavy de ficit behind him—said to amount to several hundred cuntos of rein, All this, and not a word more about peace, has tended to depreciate our Exchange, which is now hardly better thati 2914., and may close, by the Goldfinch packet, at 29d. To told cause to public uneasiness, An event has takes► place, which, although unproductive of any serious consequences, is important of itself, in these critical times, and offers; a proof of the weakness and un- ' popt9aritrof our Governments Th. 0.2 days ago the Irish andlGerman soldiers, who have been disaffected for some time past, rose in their quarters, killed, wounded, and ex pelled their . Officers, and were proceeding to a general re volt. againit Government, and committed all kind of excesses. An engagement actually took place in Campo Santo Anna, where a reg iment composed of. Irish and Germans were quartere, and for the first time we raw battle given in our city the few Brazilian troops, joined by the town rabble, surrounded the rioters, who surrendered the next day for want of order, food, and atri.. munition • about 120 were killed and wounded on both ' sides. T he English and French marines were also landed; and assisted in reducing another regiment at St. Christovao, which surrendered without bloodshed ; there is still a regi ment of German riflemen, and about 1,200 Irish, the latter unarmed, holding out for terms, at Praya Vormelha, under the Sugar Loaf. The Germans are going to be tried by a Court Martial, and kept in the forts in the meanwhile, The Irish are shipped on board the men-of-war, and are going to be bundled off at the intercession of the Biitish Envoy, either hack to Ireland, to the Cape, or to Canada. They are certainly a most turbulent set, and have fre quently abused their arms by using them agsinst the peace able inhabitants of this city, and are particularly inimical to the coloured people, to whem it seems they bear a natu ral antipathy, the latter of whom have taken a prominent part in quelling the late riot. The Emperor now remains almost entirely without troops to protect his person, having sent them all by degrees to die in the plains of Monte Video and Rio Grande." " Referring to our letter from Rio Janeiro of the 14th of June, we think it proper to state, that we have seen other letters of the same date, which do not confirm the stoppage of the Bank. It appears by these communications that the Establishment was under going some reform, and in consequence of this measure, the defalcation of one of the principal cashiers, a Mr. Lopes, was discovered, who finding an order had been issued for his arrest, shot himsslf. The amount of his deficiency is stated at between 40 and 50 thousand pounds sterling ; the affairs of the Bank were still under investigation of ' a Committee appointed by Government, at the head of which was the Minister of Finauce. Some fears are, however, expressed, that still further defalcation will be found out its their progress, but as the Goldfinch packet was to sail from Rio to England in a few days after the above date, we may shortly expect to hear further on this very unpleasant ru mour ; in the mean tune it is understood that the Brazi lian Government are a guarantee for the Bank in question." Some, indeed we may say the whole, of the Ultra Tory prints, affect to say that there were no positive orders given to the Russian Fleet not to touch at any port in England, but that their in structions were to proceed with all speed to re lieve Count HtYpEN. This is a sad mistake on the part of our cotemporaries, who wish it to be understood that the Emperor of RUSSIA is going to second the untoward ; conduct of our Government by recalling Count HEYDEN, be cause Sir EDWARDCODRINGTON has been recalled. The result Will prove how bit terly they will be taken in. Why should the Emperor of RusslA send one fleet to re lieve another that had nothing to do ? The thing is preposterous. No, he has more sense ; he wishes to get his ships into a warm latitude before the cold winds of the North chain them in the regions of ice. His attack on Con stantinople, to be effectual, will require the aid of his navy, and like a provident General he is taking all due precautions. He feels at the same time that this premature display of enter prise may alarm•his neighbours, and appear in consistent, with his professions of moderation, 'and he therefore endeavours (with amazing effeet!) to hoodwink our Government by subterfuges so palpable as to excite the derision of even Ultra Tories, and the pity of all liberal people. But the Duke is sure that there is no mistake, be cause he knows all about it. The resignation of Mr. PEEL is now s o berly contemplated by the Ministerial Papers ; one of them this morning says that he has so tenaciously and inseparably bound himself up with the fate of the Currency Bill, as to render his retirement from office a matter to be desired, because the Duke of WELLINGTON " only waits his op portunity to prove that he is wedded to no experi mental measures, but, ►an the contrary, prepared to assert our ascendancy abroad and pro mote our domestic welfare." Really this is too ..'-bad from a Journal which has turned and turned till turning was of no farther use. How long is the Duke to wait for an opportunity ? till it has fairly escaped him — as in the present instance ? Let him think of Russia—and France, and murmur " the wro►►gs of Ireland" in his dreams.
