out that Dash is a capital finder, and in spite of his lameness, will . hunt a field or beat 'a cover with any spaniel in - England—and, therefore, he likes Dash. The boy, has fought a battle, in defence of his beauty, with another boy, bigger than himself, and beat his opponent most hand somely—and therefore he likes Dash ; and the maids like him, or_ pretend to like him, because we do—as is the, fashion of that pliant and imi tative class. And now Dash ,and May follow us "every where, and are going with. us now to the Shaw, as I said before —or rather to the cottage by the Shaw, to bespeak ; milk and butter of our little dairy-woman, Hannah Bint—a housewifely occupation, to which we owe some of our plea santest rambles. And now we pass the sunny, dusty village street—who would have thobght , a month ago, that we should complain of sun and dust again ! —and turn the corner where the two great oaks hang so beautifully over the clear deep pond, mixing their cool green shadows with the bright blue sky, and the white clouds that fit over it ; and loiter at the wheeler's shop, always pictu resque, with its 'tools, and its work, and its ma terials, all so various in form, and so harmonious in colour and its noisy, merry workmen, ham mering and singing, and making a various har mony also. The shop is rather empty to-day, for its usual inmates arebusy on the green beyond the pond—one set building a cart, another paint ing a waggon. And then we leave the village quite behind, and proceed slowly up the cool, quiet lane, between tall hedge 7 rows of the darkest verdure, overshadowing banks green and fresh as an emerald. Not so quick as I expected, though—for they are shooting here to-day, as Dash and I have both discovered : he with great delight, for a (run to him is as a ti umpet to a war-horse ; I with no less annoyance, for I don't think that a par tridge itself, barring the accident of being killed, can be more startled than I at that abominable explosion. Dash has certainly better blood in his veins than any one would 'guess to look at him. He even skews some inclination to elope into the fields, in pursuit of those noisy iniquities. But he is an orderly person, after all, and a word has checked him. Ah ! here is a shriller din mingling with the small artillery—a shriller and more continuous. We are not yet arrived within sight of Master Weston's cottage, snugly hidden behind a clump of elms ; but we are in full hearing of Dame Wes ton's tongue, raised as usual to scolding-pitch. The Westons are new'arrivals in our neighbour hood, and the first thing heard of them was a complaint from the _wife to our magistrate of her husband's heating her :.it was a regular charge of assault—an information in full form. A most piteous case did Dame Weston make of it, softening her . voice for .the nonce into a shrill tremulous whine, and exciting the mingled pity and anger--pity towards herself, anger towards her husband—of the whole female world, pitiful and indignant as the female world Js wont to be on such occasions. Every woman in the parish. railed at Master Weston ; and_ poor Master IN eston was sum moned to attend the bench on the ensuing Saturday, and answer the charge ; and such was the clamour abroad and at home, that the un lucky culprit, terrified at the sound of a warrant and a constable, ran away and was not heard of ;for a fortnight. At the end of that time he was discovered, and brought to the bench ; and Dame Wqton .again,told her story, and, as before, on the full cry. She .had no witnesses, and the bruises of . w hich she made complaint had disappeared,.and there were no women present; to malse.common cause with the sex. Still, however, the general feeling was against Master Weston ; and it would have gone hard with him, when he was called in, if a most unexpected witness had not risen tip in his favour. His wife had brought in her arms a little girl about eighteen months old, partly perhaps to move compassion in her favour ; for .3 woman with a child in her arms is always an object that excites kind feelings. The little girl had looked shy and frightened, and had been as quiet as a iamb during her mother's examina tion ; but she no sooner saw her father, from whom she had been a fortnight separated, than she clapped her hands, ,and laughed, and cried, " Daddy ! daddy !" and sprang into his arms, and hung round his neck, and covered him with kisses—again shouting, " Daddy, come home ! daddy ! daddy !"--and finally nestled her little bead in his- bosom, with a fulness of content ment, an assurance of tenderness and protection, such as no wife-beating- tyrant ever did inspire, or ever could inspire, since the days of King Solomon. Our magistrates acted in the very spirit of the Jewish monarch : they accepted the evidence of nature, ants dismissed the complaint., And subsequent events have fully justified their decision ; Mistress Weston proving. not only re nowned for the feminine accomplishment of scolding: (tongue-banging, it. is called in Our parts—a Compound word, which deserves to be rireek), but is actua lly h erse lf a ddicted to ad , mrustermg tne conjugal discipline, the infliction of w hich she was. pleased to impute to her. luck less h u shand.

The greatest tranquillity continues to prevail in Servia. The best proof that we can give of it is, that the arrival of the mails from Constantinople does not experience any delay.

Late yesterday afternoon the steam-boat belong ing to the General Steam Navigation Company from Hamburgh,which has had an unusually long and tem pestuous voyage, arrived in the river with the letters and papers of Friday last. The following is the re port in the' money and corn market of that day, ex tracted from the Hamburgh Reporter :-- BORSEN-HALLE, Font o'CLocK.---Wheat has risen considerably, in consequence of large purchases, principally made to be sent to French ports. Not only the greater part of what was brought into the market, but also a considerable portico' of the stock that was in hand, has in consequence been bought up. Few of the purchases made were for home con sumption. Rye has also risen, but not in the same proportion as Wheat. Barley maintains its price, but with little business doing. The same observation may be made of Oats, of which the stock on hand is trifling, so that foreign orders, if any should be re ceived, would operate sensibly. The malt brought into the market was all dis posed of. Peas remain in demand. Tares are also sought for, but none are in the market. Of rape seed there are still some parcels unsold, the holders standing out for higher prices than the buyers seem disposed to give.

The amount of the loan is stated at 100,000,000 florins, taken at 90, to bear 41 per cent. interest; the half of the loan to be received in metalliques. This species of security has declined since the last post from 961 to 9.51, and continues to be offered at the latter price. For the end of December, bar gains have been made at 941. Bank Shares have also declined,—namely, from 1,106 to 1,094, at which there are still sellers. The Bears have been anxious to sell on account of the succession of holidays, which will not be over till Thursday next, during which little business can be expected to be done. Danish has been forced down to 60k, for money, on account of the approaching settling-day, the greater part being held by jobbers who are under a necessity to balance their liquidation accounts.

BLOCKADE OF THE DARDANELLES, The Government of England have at length put t h e s eal to their own weak ness an d the tlis honour of their country—they h ave recognised the blockade of the Dardanelles ! Little as we estimated the capability of the Duke of WEL LINGTON'S Administration, we were not pre pared for this exhibition of tameness—this want of public spirit in submitting for a moment to an usurpation of our naval rights in the Medi terranean. If the Duke of WELLINGTON per sist in recognizing blockades in this fashion his Government will, hereafter, he styled the " Blockade Administration. - He re, cognised the blockade of Oporto..-the paper blockade of Madeira--and now recognises a blockade attempted to be enforced in breach of the Convention of the 6th of July —and the formal declaration of the Emperor NICHOLAS twelve months subsequent to that Convention. This is really too bad. But we can hardly think so ill of the Duke's spirit as to suppose that he will continue to respect a blockade so manifestly injurious to our commer cial interests. On the contrary, we understand that unless the Russians give up the point at once, the most energetic measures will be resorted to by this Country to compel them. In the mean time, a strong remonstrance has been addressed to the Emperor NicHor.As upon the su bj ec t — so strong, that unless he is prepared to add England to the list of his enemies, he will waive at once the blockade of the Dardanelles. The Russian fleet in the Mediterranean is at Fresent stronger than that of any other power — but our Government now see the error into which they suffered themselves to be led, and they have ordered an immediate augmentation of our fleet in the Mediterranean. His Majesty's ships the Spartiate, Windsor Castle, and Madagascar, have been ordered for sea with all speed, and several other ships are also preparing for service. With respect to the official recognition of the blockade of Constantinople, we think that Government have betrayed the interests of our commerce by such an acknowledgment, for the opinion of his Majesty's Govern ment, that " such commercial enterprises of his Majesty's subjects as may have been al ready undertaken upon the faith of his. MA .TESTY'S declaration in Parliament, are not liable to be affected by this blockade," is of no value whatever, and cannot protect such ships as may now be on their way to Constantinople from seizure by the Russiaus, however it may hereafter affect their restitution. Every thing at present prognosticates that we must go to war whether we will or not. Had the Duke been more prompt in his decision, Russia would not have acted as she has done, nor would England be dragged into a war to vindicate her rights, and to regain that station among nations which she has lost by the imbecility of her foreign policy, and implied subserviency to the ambitions designs of . her rivals. The Hamburgh Reporter,• and other Ham burgh Papers, have been received yesterday after noon. According to an article from Berlin, it is said, when the camp in Silesia breaks up, that several regiments will not return to their garri sons, but be quartered in Prussian Poland, some towns of which are to be fortified. it is said in a communication from Agram, that Field Marshall WITTGENSTEIN KIS made the following proposals to the Sultan : 1. To pay the old debts originating in the time of Cathe rine, to the amount of 250 millions. 2. To pay the expense of the present war. 3. To recognise the independence of Greece. 4. To abolish all the taxes of the Greek subjects of the Porte. 5. The free navigation of men-of-war and merchant ships in both seas. 6. The termination of the Conferences 'of Akermann. The SULTAN made no reply, but ordered prayers in all the Mosques for the maintenance of the throne. And well he might, if these proposals have really been made, but we can hardly imagine that Russian moderation would dare to proceed so far in the present stage of affairs. The following are extracts from German Papers to — the 26th ►►lt. The SULTAN is in dignant at the evacuation of the Mores by IBaAIIIAt PACHA CONSTANTINOPLE, AUG. 29. Tartars, who have come from Alexandria by way of Smyrna, first to the agent of the Viceroy of Egypt, and afterwards to the Sultan, have brought the unexpected news that jdahomet Ali Pacha, in consequence of the threat of Admiral Codrington to blockade the port of Alexandria, by which the commerce of Egypt would have been utterly ruined, had resolved to conclude with Admiral Codrington a convention for the evacuation of the Mores by the Egyptian troops. In order, however, to prove his fidelity to the Sultan, lie has by no means engaged to give up the fortresses to the infidels, but to the troops of the Sultan. This turn of affairs in the Mores, which is directly contrary to the commands of the Sultan, has excited his indignation in the highest degree, and causes a great sensation here. VIENNA, Styr. 20.—Metalliques, 95 7-16 ; Bank Shares, 1097. By his MAJESTY'S brig Sphynx a mail has arrived at Falmouth, from Halifax, by which Papers have been received from Halifax to the 11th instant, Boston of the 4th, New York of the 2d, at. the North and South American Coffee-house. The following is an extract : A public meeting of the inhabitants of Halifax has taken place to address his Excellency Sir James Kempt on his removal from the Government of that province, and the Chamber of Commerce had waited upon his Excellency for a similar purpose, to which suitable replies were made. It appears from these that the Governor was held in high estimation by every class, and his departure was much re gretted. Sir James went on Saturday, the 23d of August, to the Council Chamber, and having resigned the tem porary administration of the Government of the province to the Honourable Michael Wallace, to whom the usual oaths were administered, and who has filled the same high station on former occasions, with credit to himself and use fulness to the community. He wag acco:npanied to the King's Wharf by the public officers and the inhabitants of the town, embarked in a barge, was conveyed to his Ma jesty's ship Challenger, Capt. Fitzclarence, and put to sea with a fair wind fur Quebec. The French Papers contain no• fresh news from the theatre of war, of an authentic charac ter; but they give a report from Jassy that the Russian Vice-Admiral MEssEN has made a descent upon Bourgas, which he now occupies. Bourgas is about thirty leagues from Constan tinople. We suspect that this report originates in the late destruction of a naval arsenal near that place by a Russian squadron of frigates. The public expectation is at present chiefly di rected to news from Varna, for the arrival of the Emperor NICHOLAS at that place must give birth to enterprises of great moment. The Aus trians seem to feel secure that the danger which threatened the existence of the Turkish power in Europe, has, in a great measure, passed over, for the army of observation or exercise, which was organised at Traislirchen, has received orders to separate, and the regiments composing it to re turn to their previous quarters. A notification has been posted at LLOYD'S from the Agent of the Duke of York steamer, relative to touching at Lisbon, and forms a pretty commentary on our present apathy with respect to Dou MIGUEL and his Government : DUKE OF YORK'S STEAM-VESSEL. The shove vessel, owing to the system adopted by the existing Government of Portugal, is prevented from touch ing at Lisbon, and in consequence discontinues her trade to that port. She left Portsmouth the Ist October, at 5 p.m. fin. Cadiz and Malaga, and may be expected to return from thence, about the 10th of November. Signed, JOHN NORMAN, Agent. I , Water-lane, Oct. 2, 1828. Blackwood's Magazine is ROW devoting its chief attention to politics ; and it begins to want all that used to give it buoyancy and lightness. The writers have never been much distinguished for elucidating any public question by force of argument. Their style is dogmatic, arrogant, and abusive ; and certainly not calculated to con vince those who differ. The present number is overloaded with political disquisitions. They actually devote thirty pages to the discussion of the Catholic Question, in which they pour forth all their old abuse against the Catholics,—and run on in their usual intemperate .strain, assum ing all that they ought to prove. They set out with an axiom that no one will deny, namely, that " a people to be properly and beneficially governed, must be governed by the principles of strict right and impartial justice; they must not only possess wise and righteous laws, hut they must be compelled to obey them." But does the writer suppose that where wise and righteous laws are established, it will be necessary to compel obedience ? Is there in the whole history of human affairs one single example of any people that were disaffected to wise and righteous laws ? And is it not a notorious fact, and, indeed, a fundamental axiom in government, that when disaffection spreads widely, or settles perma nently in any country, it must have its origin in oppression—in laws that are unwise and un righteous ? Obedience to the laws is as much the interest of the people as of the government. Who, in this country, for example, would think of disobeying the laws ? We give a willing obedience to them. They are just and righteous, —and, therefore, no compulsion is necessary, nor ever will be necessary, to enforce obedience. It is only where the laws are not of this character that the people must be compelled to submit to them—and this is the case with Ireland. The laws are neither ise nor righteous ; and hence the disturbance and disorders which reign in that unhappy country ; and the gradual and visible progress of discontent and disaffection. When the submission of the people to the laws must be compelled, we hold this to be clear evidence of misgovernment ; that the laws can neither be wise nor righteous; and that it is because they are the reverse, namely, cruel and impolitic, that force must be used to procure obedience. Can it be either wise or righteous for a small number of Protestants to exclude the great body of the Irish people from the higher offices of the state ? Is it either wise or righteous for the smaller nmnber to say to the larger, " You are a malig nant race, unfit to be trusted with power ; if you had power, you would use it as an engine of mischief and anarchy ; and, therefore, we subject you to a peremptory and sweeping disqualifica tion. We proscribe you in the lump ; we take your religion as the stamp of your incapacity ; and we will govern and rule you as persons in capable to rule and govern yourselves ?" Is this wise, or is it right ? Can we expect a willing submission to such laws ? Can we expect that a numerous, wealthy, enlightened people, grow ing every day more powerful, will submit tamely to this degrading edict of a few ; stamping upon them, for their own private ends, a character of malignity, which they reject as a calumny, the fruit of embittered passions and religious animo sity ? To such laws, we make no doubt that obedience must be compelled ; and as to their righteousness and wisdom, we shall quote the words of a great statesman, and an eloquent writer. " This way (says Mr. BURKE) of pro scribing citizens by denominations and general descriptions, dignified by the name of reasons of state, and security for constitutions and common wealths, is nothing better at bottom than the miserable invention of an ungenerous ambition, which would fain hold the sacred trust of power, without any of the virtues, or any of the ener gies, that give a title to it,—a receipt of policy, made up of a detestable compound of malice, cowardice, and sloth." So much for the wise and righteous laws which the Irish are compelled to obey. The same writer continues : " Let government discover by its sagacity, and punish by its firmness, all delinquency against its power, wherever delinquency exists in overt acts, and then it will he as safe as ever GOD and nature intended it should be ; but crbitratily to class men under general descriptions, in order to punish and proscribe them in the lump for a presumed delinquency, of which perhaps but a part, perhaps none at all, are guilty, is, indeed, a compendious method, and saves a world of trouble about proof ; but such a method, instead of being law, is an act of unnatural rebellion against the legal dominion of reason and justice." Need we be at any loss then, when such laws are established, to trace the disorders of Ireland to their true sources, namely, to unjust and un equal laws, to which the Irish will never submit unless they are compelled ?

WINDSOR, TUESDAY EVENING.---The fol lowing particulars respecting the indisposition of his MA JESTY are communicated from a quarter which seems en titled to credit :—" It is quite true that he has had an attack of gout which commenced in his hand and arm.— At ono time the attack was rather alarming, as the in- Elanunation was extending towards the upper part of the body. It is now said, and I balieve truly, that his MA JESTY is getting rapidly better, and that his medical attendants expect him to be quite able to resume his drives in the course of the next week, if the weather should prove favourable. The attack is attributed to a cold, which was taken by his MAJESTY during the wet weather, at Virginia Water. Rumours have been cir culated of his 11.1AsxsTv's seclusion having proceeded from religious melancholy, but I cannot find that they were well founded. The dismissal of his MAJESTY'S private band of musicians for a fortnight, at a time when arrangements were making for the performance of some new music which had been received from the Continent, led some persons to attach credit to this rumour. Tice dismissal, however, of the band takes place sometimes when the KING is in per fect health ; and, therefore, the fact of their dismissal now for a fortnight proves nothing." We have the happiness to state from authority, that the health of the KING is almost entirely restored. His MAJESTY'S indisposition has been serious.—Brighton Gazette. We have heard, on what we consider good authority, that among the various plans proposed for the location of the King's College, one was to appropriate, with the consent of his MAJESTY, the new Palace in St. James's Park for that purpose.—Brighton Gazette. The young Queen of PORTUGAL arrived at Bath on Tuesday, where she will remain until Govern ment has decided as to what place of residence shall be appropriated to her 3IAJEsTv. We understand that the intention which was at first entertained of fitting up apart ments for the QUEEN in Hampton Palace, has been ahau doned. As it is said to be the wish of the Marquis of PALMELLA that as much privacy as is consistent with the rank of this Illustrious Visitor shall be observed, it is pro bable that Ministers will make arrangements for the resi dence of the QUEEN at a short distance from London ; but according to our Bath correspondent, up to yesterday, nothing positive had, reached the Marquis of PAr.mat.t.a, or the Brazilian Minister, on the subject. We are also enabled to state that the Duke of CLA RENCE is materially better; but his Royal Highness remains still in a very weak and exhausted state.--Brigh ton Gazette. DIED—At Alloa, on the 20th ult., the Right Hon. Jour; THOMAS EastaNa, Earl of Mar. His Lord ship is succeeded in his titles and estates by his only son, Lord ERSKINE, now Earl of MAR. We have great pleasure in being enabled to announce that the Right Hon. the Countee of OamoNnE is on her return from Cheltenham, in renovated health ; and that her Ladyship means to pass the remainder of the season at her delightful and magnificent mansion at Castle comer.—Leinster Journal. Yesterday afternoon, about half-past two o'clock, during a heavy squall from the W.S. W. a laden brig, apparently with black sides, standing to the south ward, under a press of sail, suddenly sunk about a mile and a quarter from Aldboro' ; it is feared the crew have perished. Her top-masts are above high water mark, but nothing has yet been got fron► her to ascertain her name.—Hull Packet of Tuesday.
