though Mr. Huskisson attempted to crawl back to
Downing-street on his hands and knees, yet had
they the cruelty to shut the door of office in his face.
(Cheers.) • He then found out what every body but
himself saw long before,--that he- had been taken
into the ship merely as ballast, and that, when no
longer necessary to the voyage, he was thrown over
board. (Cheers.) The Hon. Member then went
on to observe on what he contended were theincon-
sistencies of the new Holy-Alliance-Administration.
The Treaty of the 6th of July, that bright spot in
our national diplomacy, bad been since covered with
a Scotch plaid (a laugh), and ended in the blockade
of the Dardanelles. The fate of Greece—about
which we affected to be so solicitous—was left to
France, or to Provence .for tve were done:with it.
Oux troops had been lett. in Lisbon long enough, for
Don Miguel to mature his foul treason and rebellion,
and were withdrawn just in time
.to allow him to
reap the benefit of his detestable treachery.—
(Cheers.) Our ships; were withdrawnfrom the
Tagus : the forts we had held there were given up,
and now served as dungeons for the most ancient
subjects of our ally Dots Pedro. When he (Mr.
Davenport) considered these things, he felt pained
for the disgrace which such pitiful policy had
brought on the country, and he felt additional
pain at finding that the expression of, those wrongs
was confined to himself and one or two others
in each House of Parliament. When he intro-
duced the subject, the reply of Mr. Peel, who en-
deavoured to evade a positive answer, was cheered by
some Hon. Gentlemen at his (the Opposition) side
of the House. One of those cheerful Gentlemen had
brought his cheers to a good market for they had since
helped him to a good place of 3,0001. or 4,0001. a
year.—(Cheers.)—The Hon. Member next adverted
to the condition of Ireland, and contended that the
conduct of the Catholic leaders was not only justifi-
able but praiseworthy,—that they had produced a
great moral reformation in the country, which must
eventually succeed in settling the question of their
claims; and that whether this was produced by the'
leaders of the Association or the priests, the authors
were alike deserving of the thanks of the nation.
After alluding to the recent formation of Brunswick
Clubs, which he described as institutions having
neither funds nor brains,—having neither an O'Con-
nell to lead them, nor rents to depend on, as their
members were, for the most part, dissipators of rents
and not collectors, the Hon. Gentleman expressed a
hope that the Duke of Wellington would quit the
Ultra Tories, and leave the Brunswickers to them
(the Whigs) ; and if ever they (the Brunswickers)
should rise from that state of contempt with which
their letters and their absurd remarks about the
" curse of conciliation " had sunk
.them,—if ever
they should rear their heads from their present
state of insignificance, they ( the Whigs) would call
counter meetings,—if ever they should attempt to
show themselves in this country, they would call
meeting for meeting with theirs ; so that if the
poison went forth, it should not be without the anti-
dote.—(Cheers.)—But if the present troubles should
ever come to public convulsion, upon them be the
blame and the shame. The Hon. Member sat down
midst loud cheers.

Numerous other toasts were then given, after
which, at a late hour, the company separated.

BLOCKADE OF THE DARDANELLES.

(From the Gazette de France.)

The blockade of the Dardanelles is decided upon.
The Ministers will not make us wait long for an au-
thentic communication of the fact, and we shall soon
see the declaration published, which the Ambassa-
dors in Turkey have for some time prepared. Fi-
nally, we shall know whether we are at wat with
the Porte, and whether France and England will al-
low the passage of two seas to be interdicted by a
Power which does not possess one port in the Me-;
diterranean into which its fleet might carry prizes.

In the mean time the Turks will see, in .the re-
cognition of the blockade, a sort. of declaration of
war. The restriction limiting the blockade to am-
munition and provisions, will appear to them absurd,
and if it be the interest of Russia to crash them, they
cannot comprehend what interest France and Eng-
land have in lending their assistance to that object..
It is said, that with the -exception.of munitions
of war and provisions, commerce will be free, and.
that the Emperor Nicholas will permit the subjects
of neutral powers to pursue their trade, provided that
their ships carry nothing contraband of war ; as if
there could be any other speculation with the famished
capital of an empire, besieged on all sides; as if,
under such circumstances, a -aide could be-found
for cloths, French silks, English cotton goods, co-
lonial produce, or objects of luxury.. Not. only .is
this impossible, but if the blockade.,continue,
and lead to the advantages which Russia expects
from it, the merchants who are engaged in. commerce
with that part of the world will be ruined, and will'
never receive a halfpenny of the millions which are
due to them from the bazaars and markets of Con-
stantinople, which are always indebted to the Franks
for one year of their own consumption, and of the
places which they supply.
This is the sure and certain consequence to France
and Great Britain of the blockade of the Darda-
nelles, and still further mischief may be expected if
the Turks are driven to despair. The massacre of
the Franks, and the burning of their houses and pro-
perty, would probably follow the extermination of
the Greeks in the capital. There, the white flag,
the safeguard of the Christians in the Archipelago,
would protect no one, and Russia's acting sepa-
rately, will in all probability be the cause of much
alarm, if not convulsion, in Europe.
But.Bfter all, the blockade will not so easily de-
cide the fate of Constantinople as is generally sup-
posed. The.season now commencing is not favour-
able to the keeping of maritime stations, especially
on the side of the Bosphorus, and the blockade can-
not be so strict that. coasting vessels will not be
able often to elude it. The Russians must blockade
Enos, the Gulfs of Saros and. Adminit, and also the
two mouths of the Sea of Mamma)

points into that sea such carriages as it
'might be
desirable to introduce ; and 'the activity, of navi-
gators will be increased in proportion as the profit is
great. It is not merely Odessa and
Alezandrisr
which provision Constantinople. The neighbouring
provinces are not deserts. It is not improbable that
the Sultan Mahmoud will commence operations by
ordering all useless mouths to leave the capital, and
he will be obeyed. He cannot be in want of muni-
tions of war, and from the success which has at-
tended his armies in the north, he may confidently
rely on the support of all Mussulmans.

ARRIVAL OF THE EARL OF DALHOUSIE.
—Early on Sunday morning his MAJESTY'S frigate Chal-
lenger, Captain 9trzci.Aalmcs, arrived in Leith Roads,
from Quebet7, with the Earl of lisulbuillt on board. As
"100 &S the vessel was brought up, a 12-oared gig was
lowered, and his Lordship, and suite, having got safely
down, the gig pushed Pff, under a salute from the frigate,
and the party landed safely at Newhaven. The noise of
the cannons, and the novelty of the scene, brought the
people crowding to the pier, but there was little time for
wonderment, for the noble party atept out of the boat into
their coaches, which were, in waiting, and set off for Dal-
housie Castle. The Challenger has only been 23 days on
her passage, --
including "a day's detainder in the Downs.

On Thursday night last, Mrs. WARDEN., a
young woman who was lately married, -retired to bed in
her usual state of health, after having eaten a hearty sni-
per, at her residence in Prince's-street, Wliteaun-road.
Yesterday morning, when her husband awoke, he spoke
to her, and on receiving on answer, he conceived that'
she was fast asleep, but still was alarmed at her being so
dreadfully cold, he endeavoured to arouse her, but found'
it in vain ; and on a closer examination, he discovered
that she a corpse, The 4)4 lies foc 4 Coroner'*-
