and dangerous seasons, they will be loved at Na, and, where so
small boat can live, will ling themselves into the waters, enured
by a rope, and be dragged into the noel they are to conduct to
the port of destination.
Is the navigation of the Elbe in the bands of the Bing of Hano-
ver, that be is authorised to levy taxes on those who pale ? Here
is a demand an every traveller of ad. sterling for every package.--
What does It mean? It is a pitiful affair. and it would be carless
to know by what authority the impost is exacted. The duty is
called the Stade Duty—and one would like to ask to what purpose
it is
ham
illabargh lain every respect an Warning phenomenon—as are
all the Hanseatic free cities. They have grown up on the broad
basis4l free trade, sad owe their splendour and their prosperity to
the vetegnitioa of the *whist and safest, yet least understood of
prinepes, go Buy whesio you ea buy cheapest—sell where you can
sell dearest—end pot an Impedimelltr in the way of either.' There
is number sort of arithnsede mesh, by some foolish profiteers, who
bail, that it is possible to email youndwis faster by paying a large
sum tb A. (if A. is a enlehhent).than a small sum to B. (if B. is a
stranger). They are yet bind—they cannot be blind—to the con-
ultimo of their giving a Wang toe man in the next street foe
that Which they could bay fee shrine two streets off—and yet
t here is really no dillemace. Let the rote of trade, surrounded by
restrictions, and proundens. and prohibitions. be contrasted with
it where it perms Its usenolested course. Let ruined Vence, and
Cadiz, and Barcelona, 'ad the ports of all bigb.tariffed nations, be
compared with Hasesburgh or Smarms, or any of the places
where to let commerce aloes has been the prevailing kgislatioae—
Look at gigantic France, rich and productive with scarcely any
foreign commerce. Russia, a nullity. compared to what it might
be. China, smitten by the curse of monopoly. Remove restric-
tions, and imagination could hardly stretch to the limits which
commerce might attain. Compare it now with what it was at
any former period. It may be as unbounded as the desires of
man, and march on its reductive career till every land pour forth
its own lasuries Into the lap of every other.
The sides of the Ribs remind me of the beautiful bankr of the
Douro' particularly the northern bank—the land of Holstein—
which has been loot called the treasure of Denmark. As you
approach Hensburgb, groves of pleasure-grounds. gardens, and
shrubberies, pretty cottages and superb mansions. follow one ano-
ther in attractive variety. Thetis scarcely an elevation which is
not crowned with a handsome abode—no declivity which is not
tastefully decorated with trees and shrubs. The inhabitants hardly
understand German ; there is an uncouth tilett tests* of equal
antiquity perhaps, or of higher antiquity, than the classical lan-
guage of the country, but which has been little smoothed .by the
influences of civilisation.
On arrivice at the place of debarkation. great indeed Is the con-
fusion sad unbounded the pillage of boatmen. carmen, and porters.
So badly is the landing srranged,that a learned Professor. who took
the lead, fell head-foremost into the water in consequence of the
inattention of the waterman. and great indeed was kis peril, and
great was my diLcuky in running with a weight of learning from
the deep stream. Rescued be was, and like a philosopher, the first
thing be uttered war" Where Is my hat ? I knew, even while
I was under the water, that I should rise again." Who shall say
that philosophy is worth nothing ? My philosopher shook his head
like a spaniel, and looked round in the sweetest good humour, as if
no mischance had befallen him. Blessings be en him who bears
life's ills with patience and pleasantness, and Rings over others the
rays of his own complacency!
