The following amusing anecdote we copy from Harper’s New Monthly Ma gazine : Some fifty years ago, in the good city of Edinburgh, nianv of the convenient-., s. and even necessaries of household com fort were arranged inn very primitive manner. It was about this lime, or a lit lie before it, that a gentleman, whom I afterward knew very well, Mi J F , wooed and won a very beauliuil giil of the best society in the city. Ris doing so was, indeed, a marvel to all; ‘hough young, witty, ami well-looking, he was perhaps the most absent man up on the lace of the earth ; and the wonder was that lie cntild e\eu recollect himself Miffn bully to make love to one women for two days consecutively. However, *uit was; and a vast manlier of mistakes nnd blunders having been got over, the wedding day was appointed and came.— The ceremony was to he performed in the house of the bride’s father; and a large and fashionable company was as sembled at the hour appointed. The bridegroom was known to have been in the bouse some ; hut he did not appear ; and ministers, parents, bride, bridesmaids, and bridesmen, all full dressed, the ladies in court lappets, and the gentlemen with chapeau bras under tlnir arms, began to look very grave. Tbe bride’s .brother, however, knew bis fiieud’.s infirmity, and was also aware that lie had an exceedingly bad habit of reading classical authors air. place the least fitted lor such purposes. He stole out of die room, then, hurried to the place where he expected bis future brotbertin* law might be found ; anil a minute after in spite of floors and stair-cases his voice was heard ex. laiiiiiiiir, ‘ Jimmy, Jimmy : you forget you are going lobe married, man. Every one is waiting lor y ou.’ ‘ I will come directly—l will c>>me di rectly,’ cried another voice—• I tpiite forget—go and keep them amused. ’ The young gentleman returned, with a smile upon Ids face ; bill announced that the bridegroom would lie there in an instant : and the whole parly arranged themselves in a formidable seini-circb- This was just complete, w hen the door opened, and the hi idegrooin appeared.— All eyes fixed upon him—all eyes turned toward his left arm, where his chapeau bras should have been; and a universal titter burst from all lips. Poor F stood confounded, perceived the direc tion of their looks, and turned his ow n eyes to his lelt arm also. Close beneath it, appeared, instead of a neat black cha peau bras, a thin, (lat, round piece of oak, with a small black knob rising from the centre of one side. In horror, eonscinos ness, and confusioh, lie suddenly lifted his arm. Down dropped the obnoxious implement, lighted on its edge, rolled forward into the midst of the circle, whirled round and round, as if paying its complements to every body, and settled itself with a flounder at the bride’s feel.— A roar, which might have shook St. An drews, burst front the crowd. The bride married him notwithstand ing, and practiced through life the same forbearance—the first ol matrimonial vir tues--which she showed on the present occasion. Poor F , notwithstanding the so beiiug effects of matrimony, continued al ways the most absent man in the world ; and one instance occurred, some fifteen nr sixteen years after bis marriage, which Ins wife used to tell with great gbe Sl-e was a very noble woman, and good housekeeper. Originally a Presby t<-ri an, she bad conformed to the views of Iter husband, and regularly frequented the Episcopal Church. One Sunday just before the carriage came to tbe door to take Iter husband to the morning ser vice, she went down to the kitchen, as wag Iter custom, in mercantile parlance, to take stock, and give her orders. She happened to he somewhat longer thou usual; the carriage was announced, and poor F , probably know ing that iI lie gave himself a moment to pause, lie should foget himself, and his wife, and the church, and all other holy and yens’ erable tilings, went down afier her, with the usual, ‘ My dear the carriage is w ail ing ; we shall he very late.’ Mrs. F went through her orders with customary precisions, took up her prayer-book, entered the carriage with Itusband, and rolled away toward the church, OUR COUNTRY'S GOOD IS OURS. * My dear, what an extraordinary \ smell ol bacon there is in the carriage,’ said Mr. F ‘ I do not smell it, my dear,’ said Mrs F ‘ I do,’ said Mr. F , expand ing his nostrils emphatically. * 1 think I smell it too, now,’ said Mrs. F , taking a snifl". * YVell, / hope those untidy servants of ours do not smoke bacon in the carriage,’ said Mr. F ‘ Oil. dear, no,’ replied ids wife, with a hearty laugh. ‘No fear of that, my dear.’ Shortly after, the carriage stopped at the church door ; and Mr. nnd Mrs. F mount the stairs to) their pew, which was in the gallery, and conspicu ous to the whole congregation. The la dy seated herself, and laid her prayer book on tbe velvet cnHiion before Iter.— Mr. F put his hand into his pock et, in search of his own prayer book, and pulled out a long parallelogram, which was not a prayer-book, but which he laid on the cushion like-wise. ‘ I don’t wonder there was a smell ol baron in the carriage; my dear,’ whis pered Mrs. F ; and, to Itis hor ror, he perceived lying before him, in the eyes o’ a thousand persons, a verv fine piece ofred and while Streaky bacon i which lie had taken up in the kitchen, ( thinking it Was his prayer-book. ! On only one subject could Ivir. Fj S concentrate his thoughts, nnd ■ that was the law, in the profession ol | which lie obtained considerable success, t although, occasionally nil awful blunder j was rnuiinitted ; but, strange to say, nev j er in tbe strictly legal part ol his doings. IMe would forget his own name, and | write that of some friend of whom he was : thinking instead. He would roulmind j plaint'll with defendant, and wiine-ses j with counsel ; hut lie never made a mis- I take in an abstract legal argument.— I There, w here no collateral and, as lie imagined, iuiiiiiiU-ri.il cireiimslanres were concerned ticli as, who was the man to be hanged, and who was not—'lie rea soning was clear, and connected ; and for all litde infirmities of mind, judges and jurors, who generally knew him well made due allow-aru e. Other people had to make allowance also; and especially when, between terms, lie would go out to pay a morning visit to ti friend, Mrs. never count led, witlt any certainty, upon bis return for a month. He would go into the j house w here his call n as to lie made, talk, I for a few minutes, take up a bonk, and | read till dinner lime—time—anti lucky |if be did not fancy himself in his own j house, and take the head of the table.— ! Toward night he might find out his de lusion, ant] the next morning proceed up on his way borrowing a clean shirt, anil leving his dirty one behind him. Thus it happened, that at the end of a twelve month, his wardrobe comptised a vast collection of shirts, o f various sorts anil patterns, with his own name on very lew of them. ‘Dip stories of poor Jimmy F’s ecentficities in Edinburgh were iimumer : able. On one occasion, seeing a lady, lon his return home coming away from j hi- own dtiot-, lie handed Iter politely into Iter carriage, expressing his regret t lt.• t she hail not found Mrs. F at home. * 1 am not suprised, my dear,’ said the Indy, who vvns in reality Itis own wife, 1 that you forget me, when you so often ! forget j ourself.’ * God bless me,’ cried Jimmy, with the most innocent air in the world. 4 I was quite sure I had sent yon somewhere lie lore ; hut could not tell where it was.’ The Fishery Difficulty. lon, the Washington correspon dent of the Baltimore Sun, writes us lol lows to that paper : * The dispatches received from tlie seat of war on the fishing hanks, slmw that the time for negotiation is passed, anil that of action has come. It was ev idently not the intention of the British government to allow any negotiation af ter having issued the order of the 26th May. That order was not rommiwiica led to this government, nor to Mr. Law rente, and Mr. Webster received it Iroin an American source, in tine of the liiit is.li provinces, to the governor ol which il ! was sent. Mi, Webster made il public, ! not only as a warning, to which the A merit-aits interes'ed were entitled, but t*> J sbow that he did not ndmit that I lie con- struction now assumed bv tbe Brili-li government, of the treaty of ISIS, was in accordance with tb intentions of tin contracting parties. The enforcement id ibis construction, bv a powerful diet, |n!l"vvetl e ” quickly upon the publication by Mr, Welister, that there could have been no time lor any remonstrance nego tiation. 4 It is now too late to talk of negotia tion. Nme will he tolerated until alter Great B'itain shall withdraw her naval forces and the naval orders under which they act, and restore the vessels which she may have captured, while pursuing their employments in or beyond the limits ol three marine miles from the shores of any bays or indents on the coast, Set". * As the matter stands, the act of the British government is an act of war.— The capture of our vessels, under such circumstance?, is war; it is a war upon ns whether we have the spirit to resent it and the means to resist it, or not. The war is likely to he all on one side ; for this government has not a vessel nor a mart that is available, for the purpose of offering protection to the American ves sels on tbe fishing grounds. 4 /t has been taken for granted by some that Mr. Crumpton, the Briti-h Millis'pr, lias been, or is engaged with Mr. Webster in settling this matter. — Tilts in “St he a mistake. /i is not pro. bali'ethat Mr. Crumpton had anv know l edge of I'm order, and, if he had, it is ev dent that he vvns not authorized e> en to coiiimuiiicnie it, murli less to negotiate in regard to it. Tin re is no danger (lint any hasty .anil inconsiderate negotiation, such as was seriously apprehended by some Senators, will terminate this difficnl tv. 4 It is a sequel to one series of aggres sions. and ill- coiinneiiceiii’ iit of another ol nu>re importance. The next news will be that, among the American fisher men and fi-liiog vessels, it will be lounil convent for Great Britain to revive the doctrine and practice of impressment.— Tile Bi iti-lt squadrons can slmw thems selves on the coast of California, as well as on the Mosquito coast ; on the Cuban coast; on the Gulf of St. Livvience and die Bay of Fundy. Il is time, as Gen. Cuss has repeatedly warned Congress, that 4 we should he up and doing.’ ’ X., another correspondent ol the Sun, ('s well as the papers generally at the North.) di-credits the idea that the difii Cully will ri suit in a war.

Q - The following extract contains the remarks of the Hon. Daniel Webster, on the subject of the “Fisheries,’’ Iroin his speech deliverd at Marshfield, on Sat urday last, on the occasion of the recep tion given him by his Iriends : Mr. Sprague has made allusion to re cent occurrences threatening disturbances on aceouut of tin- fisheries. It would not Incme me to say mm h on that subject until /-peak officially, and under direc tion ol tile head nl the Government. And tin ii I shall speak. In the meantime, be assured that that interest will not be neg lected by ibis administration under any eiictimstnnces. The fishermen shall be protected in all their rights of property, and in all their rights of occupation. To use a Marblehead phrase, they shall be protected hook and line, and bob and sinker. And why should they not ? They employ a vast number. Many of our own people are engaged in that vo cation. There aie, perhaps among you, some who have been on the Grand Banks for forty successive y ears, and there hung on to the ropes in storm and wreck. The most potent consequences are in volved in this matter. Our fisheries have been the very nurseries of our navy. If nor flag ships have conquered the enemy on the sea, lire fl-heries are at the hntlnni of it —t he fi-heries were the Seeds from which these glut ions tiiumphs were horn and sprung. Now, genil'-men I may venture to say one or two things mine on this highly im portant subject. In the first place, this -iidden interruption of the pursuits of our citizens, which had been can it'd ( >n inure than thirty years without interruption or molt station, can hardly lie justified by ■anv principle or Condition whatever. It i-now more that thirty years that they have pursued the fishing in the same water and on the same coast, in which, and along which notice lias now come that limy shall be no longer allowed these privileges. Now this cannot he justified uiihont notice. A mere indulgence of too long continuance, even if the priv ilege were but an indulge nee, cannot be withdrawn at tl i season of the year, when our people, according to their custom, have engaged in the business, w itliont just and reasonable notice. I cannot but think the late dispatches from the Colonial Office had not attracted to a sufficient degree the attention of the principle minister of the Crown ; for I see matter in them quite in< onsistent with the arrangement made in 1845 by the Earl of Aberdeen and Edward Everett. Then the Earl ol Derby, the present first, minister, was Colonial Secretary. It could not well have taken place without his knowledge, and, in (act, without his concurrence or sanction. I cannot but think therefore, dial its being overlooked is an inadvertency. Tite treaty of 1818 was made with the crown nl England, and il a (i-hing vessel is captured by one ol the vessels ot war and brought in for adjudication, the crown of England is answerable, apd then we know who we have to ileal with. Hut it i; not lobe expected that the United States will submit their rights to be ad j jiulicated upon in the petty tribunals of ihe province, or that they will allow our vessels to be seized by constables and other petty officers, and coudemaned by municipal conns of Canada and New Foiindhind, New Brunswick, or Nova Scotia ! No! No !!No! !!” [Great I cheering.] Farther than ibis, gentle* men, I do not think it expedient le remark upon this topic tit present ; but yon may be as-nred it is a subject upon which no one sleeps at Washington. 1 regret that the state of my health caused my absence ; front Wa liingtnn when the news came lof this sudden change in tlie interruption |of the treaties. My health requires re i taxation. 1 shall feel it my duty, as soon ! as my lie tilth and strength will justify nte j in t.isderiekii’g the journey, to return to inv’ post, and discharge the duties devol ving upon me to the best ol my abilities. Well, Dinah, said a would-be belle, to a black girl, they say that beauty soon lades, but do yon see any of mv bloom lading?—now I want you to say plainly, without any compliments.
