NORFOLK, OCTOBER 2.

NON-INußcootsz—the law which closes the ports
Of the United States against vessels aoming direct
from the British West India Islands wefki into opera-
tion yesterday. Within the last three weeks this port
has been crowded with such vessels, availing them-
selves of the rule time that remained to take away.
• cargoes of our produce. Some of these have sailed,
aad, probably, before this have made a good offing:
others have put to sea, but, owing to the North-eas-
terly gale that is now prevailing, must have been
compelled to put back, while others, though ready
for sea, have not been able to get out, owing to head
winds.—The orders from the Secretary of the Trea-
sury do not leave it discretionary with the Collector
tc permit the sailing of vessels after the Ist of Octo-
ber, who have loaded and cleared for the British
Islands before that day; in consequence of which the
most unheard-of exertions were made to expedite
those vessels which arrived at the eleventh hour. Of
the expedition.with which they have been unloaded
and laden again, an instance was given in our last,
and another in to-day's Paper. Not one has been be-
hind-hand—not one has craved indulgence•beyond
the time allotted,...all were ready to depart the day
before the law was to take effect, when they find
themselves unfortunately detained by adverse winds.
Since Saturday night last, the wind has been hang-.
ing on at North-east, and during the two last days
has been blowing a hurricane; consequently, no ves-
sel could get to sea from this port, nor even from'
Hampton-roads. We do not apprehend, however,
that these vessels will be made toexperience any fur-
ther deteation after the North-easter has removed its
embargo. Yet we cannot witness their final depar-
ture froth our waters but with feelings of regret.
Since the peace they have been regular traders to
our port; some of them having in that period made
seven or eight voyages hither, each time bringing
valuable cargoes paying heavy duties, and taking
away our lumber, naval stores, and Hour, is return.
We' have yet to learn whether the inhibition of that
trade, which bas certainly been highly beneficial to
this section of the country, and to the nation at large,
will produce an equiveent advantage in the employ-
:tient of our own shipping. We hope, yet we doubt it.
Atsornaa Ins-..awcz or QUICK DISPATCH.—The
British schooner Favourite, from Barbadocs, which
arrived at this port on Tuesday Wonting, entered at
the Custom-horse at nine o'clock, and immediately
commenced discharging her (small) cargo of sugar
and rum. At eight o'clock the same night she had
a-full cargo of Hour, bread. and staves in, and her
}'.itches battened down. The next morning had her
.deck load of shingles taken in, her long boat stowed,
cleared at ten o'clock, and at one was on her way
down the river. The Favourite is a vessel that will
• stow about 600 barrels under decks.
