It is, tin* questionably, tho ugliest little beast that ever bore the canine form. Nature has done no thing for it; and this neglect has been aggravat ed by a variety if accidents. Early in its puppy days, one of its legs was broken by a fall through a spird staircase, from the top of the house to the bottom; so that it limps. Its eyes were villanou at the best of times; they were marked by a s jr, suspicious, discontented leer, and never look id you honestly iu tho face. They gave the dog he air of a pickpocket; and I seldom ever mot it without putting instinc tively my hand to n y,watch or my purse. Had I any faith in transnnfrfftibn, I should say that the soul of Bill Soames had passed into the ugly body of my old aunt’s poodle. But as if the natural expression of its eyes had been in sufficient to reader the beast hateful, an acci dent must needs occur to remove all doubt up on the point. Some months ago, the contents of a phial of spirits of hartshorn were over turned into Mr. Lovely’s tight eye—(lor Love ly is the appropriate name of the exquisite creature)—which said ritjit eye lias not only been ever since relieved of the performance of all optical duties, but lias assumed ail appear ance by no means so agreeable as to warrant a description. Its skin too!—The common say ing that “Beauty is but skin deep,” would, in this instance he a gross exaggeration, for Mr. Lovely’s beauty is not even deep as that. He is—to make a literal use of another common expression—in a very ugly skin. It is of no imaginable color—a sort of yellowish-greenish- brownisk grey—an unearthly, vampyre tinge. And here again accident has stepped in to make had, wore?. By the upsetting of a caldron of boiling xva'cr, the unlucky animal was wofully scalded; aid to this hour lie bears evidence of liissuireringi, uud his miraculous escape from death, in two large, ghastly, pink spots—one on his left side, the other on the nape of the neck —as free from hair as the palm of your hand. Now, though it would he impossible to like such a mass of ugliness and deformity, yet had it been a well-disposed, kind-hearted, unassum ing, gentlemanly dog; i. dog of prepossing man ners, respectable habits, decent conduct, and tmimpeachablo morals; or were it remarkable foi its talents and accomplishments; one might, upon all, or any of these accounts, and in con sideration of its sufferings, have pi'ied and en dured it. But, no: ns it is the ugliest, so it is tho worst of created beasts: sulky, snarling, sa vage, and sneaking: thankless, and dissatisfied; us arrant a thief as a magpie, as finished a blackguard as a butcher's cur; and for accomp lishments—it could not sit upou its hinder legs, pick up a penny-piece, or fetch a hand kerchief .across the room, were either of those feats to be macie its benefit of clergy. It may lie asked: Why he at the pains of describing so worthless a beast?—Because the beast, worthless as it is, is the sole urbitor of the destinies of the only remaining represent* tives of three ancient houses—the Noland’s, the Thwaite’s, and tho Briggs's. Besides the beast has a clear income of twelve hundred lounds a year; or, which is the same thing, lie las the disposal of it. Yesterday was my old aunt Margaret’s birth' day, when, as usual, all the members of her fa mily wore invited to dine with her. Poor Jack Noland and myself are her only immediate re lations; tho Briggs’s (consisting of Mr. and Mis. B. with their son uud daughter, Pomponi- us and Julia) and Miss Priscilla Tlnvai.o (a maiden lady of fifty-seven) being merely first cousins to her late husband. The assertion that all the members of my aunt Margaret’s family were invited to dine with her, requires som.e modification; nothing more must he un derstood by it than all such as enjoy the honor, of Mr. Lovely’S-patronage, and have beeu wise enough to keep terms with him; for, bosides the seven persons- cnunicraicd, their ure fifteen others, who, owing to various offences commit ted by them against the peace and dignity of the rascally little poodle, are now no nmro con sidered by my auni Margaret as her relations, than Prester John. Now, since aunt Margaret, as Jack Noland very sensibly observed to mo the other day, cannot carry her money with her to the grave, it must bo evident that the prospects of us sev en who still continuo in favor, arc improved by. the removal of the unfortunate fifteen; but in proportion as our places arc more valuable^ our duties, our cares, and our anxieties are more oppressive. The brute seems to be per fectly aware of this; he appears to have studi ed our dislikes and antipathies for the fiendish pleasure of exciting them; and he takes a dia bolical delight in tormenting us to within an inch of the forfeiture of our lcgacios. Ho is perhaps more circumspect in his conduct to wards mo than the other expectants; for I long ago gave him a lesson winch he has not yet quite forgotten. I am not of a very endu ring temper; and finding Mr. Lovely, upon whose caprices my hopes depended, to be a dog whose good will was not to bo won by gentleness—reflecting at the same timo that the continual annoyance ho inflicted upon me, might ono day or other force me beyond the' bounds of prudence, provoke mo to retaliate, and^thereby cost me dearly—I resolved upon a decisive but dangerous measure, with a view to secure myself against his future aggressions. It was simply this: ono morning, during my aunt Margaret’s absence, in acknowledgment of an inhospitable growl at niv entrance, and a manifest intention to bite, I flogged him in such a way as perfectly astonished him. Ho has ever since behaved to mo as well as such a dog can behave. But yesterday was, as poor Jack Noland forcibly‘described it, “a tremendous day for us all.”—Jack, by the way, is the poor cousin of our family, whose duty it is to love and ad mire us all, to be of every body’s way of thinking but his own, to execute all the dis agreeable commissions of the family, and pa tiently hear the reproach when any thing goes wrong—“Ah, there again! ’tis Jack’s fault, no doubt.” But Jack possesses many good quali ties, and is a pleasant fellow when he is .allow ed to expand. But a stern look of the Briggs’s, or a sneer of Miss Priscilla, will freeze tho jest that is glowing at the very tip of his tongue: in which case Jack xvill watch an opportunity of taking me aside—for Jack aud I are tho best fricuds in the world—and after a moment of most expressive silence, and with a smile xvhicli indicates a relish of his oxvn xvit, Bestow uppn mo, after the following fashion, the en tire benefit of some piece of pleasantry, which lie had intended for tho whole party. “I say, Tom; I’ll toll you xvliat I meant to say—so and so—and I don’t think it so had; do you, Toni?” But to return—not one'of us but, at some moment or other, saw our hopes of in heritance dangling by a single thread. But, iu order that our sufferings and our dangers may be fairly appreciated, it must bo stated, that Mr. and Mrs. Briggs dislike dogs generally, Lovely in particular; Pomponius Briggs iind Miss Julia Briggs inherit the fami ly aversion to the canine species, with the su peraddition of a peculiar disliko of poodles beyond all other dogs, and of my aunt Marga ret’s Lovely beyond all possible poodles. Miss Priss, the fifty-seren-year-old maiden cousin, loathes the very sight of Lovely, and lmtos it most devoutly, simply upon tho true old-maidcu principle—because it happens to be n favorite with aunt Margaret; poor Jack and myself are the only two of tho family who do not enter tain a sweeping dislike of all dogs, yet xve par take of the general aversion to Lovely, and hate him with heart and soul, for tho reason that the dog is :in unaniiable dog. In a word, not one of us but is a deadly foe to the animal, and would hang or droxvn it—if xvo dared. Within ono hour of dinner time, wo were all assembled >n my aunt Margaret’s drawingroom. After she bad received her felicitations, and listened to our wishes that she might enjoy many happy returns of the day, Jack slily whisper 'd in my ear, “Of course, Toni, xve don’t moan too many.” She burst into tears; lamented io see so few of her rela ions abnu’ her on such a day; rcgreitod the misconduct of the absentees (towards Mr. Lovely, lie it un derstood) hud compelled her to-have done with diem forever; declared that she had al tered her will in our favor, -and hinted that she xv:is mistress to alter it again if she. should see cause. Of ibis odifying discourse, xvliich last ed till dinner xvas announced, tho text was “Lo\-o me, love my dog,” and tho obvious morals “Look to your legacies.” It was not xvithout its effect; and Lovely, who seemed to understand the intention of it; occasionally bent his evil eye upon each of us, with a look of vil lainous exultation. Old Briggs xvhistlnd the dog toxvards him; Pomponius drew a collar for the “little rogue” from his pocket; Julia and Mamma each patted the “pretty folloxv;” and then turned aside, xvith a look of disgust, todab- bio their fingers with Eaude Cologne; “Come hither pretty poodle,” said Miss Priscilla, hold ing some sugar-nlums xvhicli she had “bought on purpose for the dear dog;” poor Jack No land volunteered to give tho “littlo felloxv” a washing in the Serpentine next Sunday; whilst I vehemently swore that Lovely grexv prettier and prettier every day. Here Jack Noland drexv mo aside, and, assuming a ludicrous swag- jer of independence, said: “I tcjl you xvhat, Tom: this slavery is no longor to be borne;” adding, in his dry xvny, “only wc must bear it, you know.” At dinner we had not a moment’s ponce.— The reptile xvas either jumping upon us, and groxvling till he had extorted from us the choi cest morsel on our plates, or worrying us into a fever by snapping at our legs under the table; evidently with the intention to provoke us to the commission of some outrago upon him, xvliich might druw doxvn upon our heads the displeasure of aunt Margaret. Presently, in pure spite, ho ran yelping to his mistress, as if he had been hurt, although l am persuaded no one had touched him. “How can you lie so cruel.to the p^or dumb beast?” said Miss Pris cilla; unjustly and ill-naturedly singling out the family scape-goat Jack Noland, for tbe ques tion. Reproaches wore shoxvered upon poor Jack from all quarters, who bore them—toge ther with a pretty smart lecture from aunt Mar garet, andH hint about every shilling of her money being at hor own disposal—with silence and resignation, Jack had, hoxvever, the good fortune to repair the error he had not commit ted by the lucky application of an epigram he had lately read, which afforded him an oppor tunity of conveying a pretty compliment to Mr. Lovely, highly gratifying to my old aunt, and at the same time of reveuging himself by a sly, hilt desperate hit at Miss Priscilla. Perceiv ing hor fondling the detested poodle, “Apro pos,said Jack—the apropos wus, certainly, somewhat too severe—“Apropos: in nn old newspaper which I picked up tho other day, met xvith this epigram on an old maid caress ing a lap-dog.” There was nn axvful pause, and Priscilla let tho dog gently doxvn. Jack resumed: “Rufa, I’m not astonished in tbe least, “That thou sbouldst lick so dainty, clean n beasts “Uitt that so dainty, clean a beast licks thee! — “That surprises me!” A dead silence succeeded, which was only interrupted by my aunt Margaret desiring Jack to ring for coffee.—This xvas the first timo in my life 1 had ever known Jack to do a savage thing; and os xve were returning to tho draxy- ing-roora, ho endeavored to justify himself in and get me cut off xvith a shilling on account of that rascally poodle.” The rain xvas pouring in torrents; and the “rascully poodle,” who, to add to his natural attractions, had been scampering about tho muddy grounds, came dripping into the draw ing-room. In this interesting condition, he rnu from one to another (carefully avoiding my aunt Margaret) squeezing himself between our legs, and jumping into our laps. The fortitude xvith which the attack xvas borne by us all, and the heroic control xve maintained over our feelings, xvero astonishing. It is probable that auut Margaret’s reprimand of Jack Noland, and her hint about every shilling of her money being at her own disposal, may have contribut- O'i ((I strong,li»«. n..-.., Mj,. itr-r L—^—1-— . certainly xvus to toss the mongrel out cf the win dow; hut, considering that a good four hun dred a-year (for xvliich, I knoxv, I am doxvn in the will) might be tossed out along with him, I contented myself by affecting a laugh at the “unceremonious little gentleman,” us I called him, and, xvith my cambric pocket handkerchief, smearing tho mud over my white silk stockings till they xvere dry. Noland aud Pomponius Briggs lblloxved my example; Pomponius, as he was making bad worse by scrubbing his white kerseymeres, muttering, “Tivo-pound- ton, .by jingo!” Mr. Briggs, senior, sworo ho xvas the most fortunate man breathing, for it would not show much upon black. Mrs. Briggs, whose French pink sarsnet dress was ruined forever, merely simpered out, “Well, it canuot be helped.” M.ss Julia Briggs, liko her papa, congratula:ed herself upou her good fortune; for being dressed in xvliite muslin, xvhicli xvould wash, “it did not much signify.” And Miss Priscilla, whose saffron-colored white satin dress, xvhicli nover saw the light except on state occasions, such as the present, and xvhicli was noxv in a condition to set at defiance tho utmost magic of the scourer, asseverated, as she walked towards the window to conceal her tears, ihat “it did not signify tko least in lie xvorld.” VV'hcn Mr. Lovely bad thoroughly cleaned himself by his visits to us, be ventured to approach his mistress. '“I nm foarful,” said my aunt, patting his back, for'ho was now perfectly dry, “I am fearful Lovely has been rather troublesome.” It xvas now who should bo foremost to assure aunt Margarei, so far from being troublesome, nothing in our opin ion, could be more delightful than his good-na tured playfulne.s, nothing more entertaining than his innocent frolics; and that in every possible respect Lovely was, incontestibly and beyond all inuuns of comparison, the sxveeicst Jog in the universe. My aunt Margaret’s property is all funded; and of Iter twclx e hundred a-year, she regular ly lays by txvo-thirds. This wo happen to know. P*. I FOREIGN. From tht New York Commercial Advertiser. FROM GREECE. The following letter from tho correspond ent oi the London Morning Herald, contains tho latest intelligence from Greece. In addition to this article, the Herald contains txvo other letters, of great length, giving a very interest ing account of a mutiny xvhicli took place at Hydra, from the 1st to the 6th December. It appears that after tho Turkish fleet hnd return ed xvithin the Dardanelles to winter, the three Greek fleets, (the Hydriot, Spezziot, and Ip- sai iot) returned to their respective harbors.— Tho sailors of the Hydriot fleet had been paid on entering tho service for tho season, but having spent all their money, upon which their fitm.lii's relied for subsistence on their return, they bccamo riotous. Their first demand xvas for live of tho vessels to use in a piratical expc- • dition. This proposition xvas peremptorily refused by the primates, ami they managed in the folloxving night, to send all the vessels off to Pores, bnt two. Enraged at this disap pointment, the sailors took the primates prison ers, guarded them in the homo of Comiuriotti, and decreed to bchoad them all on tho follow ing day in the market place, unless they paid them the sum of ouo million of piastres. In this situation, tho primates contrived to send information to captain Spencor, of tho British frigate Talbot, then in tho neighborhood of tho island,*in tho hope that he could doviso ■ some moons for their relief. Captain S. land ed, and various ineffectual attempts were made • to hush tho mutiny. Tho next step was to de vise ways and means, for the primatos, and old admiral Miaulis to escape, during the darkness of the succeeding night. But all their plan? wore averted by the watchfulness of the Hy driots, excepting as fur os related to Miaulis and two of tho primates. A compromise xxas at last effected on the succeeding day, by Con- duriotti, who, for his own portion, paid ono hundred thousand piastres, the other primates paying xvhat thoy could, and the sailors, levy ing a contribution of fifty por cont. upon the shop-keepers of Hydra. . , Hydra, December 25, 1826.—Tho Cambri an, commodore Hamilton, arrived at Poros, on tho 12th instant. She came from Smyrna* The sarno day prince Mavrocodato dined on board the Talbot. Tho prince was the bearer of very good noxvs. An express had that morn ing arrived from Napoli di Romania bringing intelligence of the arrival tliero of a frigate (68 guns) for the Greek government from Ameri ca. She was brought over from Ncxv York by a captain and throe lieutenant^ in tho Ameri can navy, with a crow of one hundred and fif ty men.
