From the Clubs of London. DUNDAS AND THE BARBER.

Before Henry Dundas, afterwards Lord Melville, had obtained the patronage of Scotland, he was not very popular with the natives of that country indeed the inhabitants of the good town Edinboro', at one time, sought his life, and would have sacrificed him 10 their fury, for hav- ing been concerned in certain measures to which the general opinion was opposed.
 In this state of the public mind, he made visit to the Scottish capital, and being one day recognized walking on the north bridge or mound, he was surround ed by an immense mob, who hustled him in very rude manner, and made prepara- tions to throw him over the parapet. Luckily, he happened to have consider able quantity of money in his pocket, in the shape of notes and silver, which he had the presence of mind to throw, alter nately, among them, so as to divert their attention, whilst he mada all possible way for the mansion of the Lord Provost ; where after great difficulty, and having disposed of his last shilling, he arrived X found refuge and protection.
 nC NlOU IIlCTcdScu HOWCNCIs duu Sus rounded the Chief Magistrates house, crying vch .mently "Put out Dundas put out Dundas !'' and behaved otherwise in a very riotous manner. At length the pro- vost fearing that they would proceed to ex- tremities, came out and addressed them on the duties of hospitality, and on the ancient and uniform character ofthe Scots for the exercise of that virtue ;and con- cluded by saying, that he " "himself would prefer falling victim to their fury, rather than reject any person, who had sought the asylum of his roof" This was an appeal which no Scotchman could withstand more particularly as it came from man whose ameni,y of character and mild dis position had rendered him generally below ed. Having given the Provost three cheers, they quietly dispersed to thei' houses.
 Whilst he remained in Edinburgh or this occasion, MT. Dundas took care not to show himself again in the streets, but soon ;ook his departure for London.
 Soon afterwards being obliged to revis- II his native county, and knowing that the storm had blown over he met with very odd adventure, but one which terlin~ him equally if not more so, than that or
