Under such a stroke—under a widowhood which all her subjects regard as the most terrible they have ever witnessed—the only sufficient support conceivable is in the conviction of duty to be done and in the fortitude to do it. This support it was clear from the first that she bad. She said that she knew that much was el- petted from her; and she declared her intention to do her duty to her people, and called on her children to help her in the purpose and the work. Despatches were received on Saturday at the Colonial ofice from the Governors of the settlements on the West Coast of Africa. Despatches were sent to the Governors of the North Americas Provinces, and to the Lord High Com missioner of the lonian Islands. That she did so will never be forgotten while her name and her husband's are remembered. She herself is not likely to have lost the im preasious of that memorable hour, nor is she one who could be insensible to the fidelity with which her people have done their duty by her, during the long and sad year whit ii has been sacred to her griefs. There has alwaYs been such an honest sympathy between her and the nation, and her respect and love for her people have always been so simply and sincerely shown, that it is not conceivable that she should be now un conscious of the heartiness and the delicacy with which all, from the highest to the lowest, have reverenced her feelings, and have put amide all considerations rather than intrude on her privacy, her repose, or her convenience. The discussions in the two Houses on the opening of the session of Parliament moved the heart of the whole world ; and the devoted spirit of that day has ap peared ever since among all orders of the people, in regard to every department of public affairs. AU have been willing, for a whole year, to bear delays, Imes, and inconvenience rather than cause the slightest jar to the tenderest feelings of their widowed QOZEN. Aware as she herself must be of this, she cannot but be feeling that the time will come when she must assume the burden of sacrifice, and release others from theirs ; and that the fitting time for this is the expiration of the year of close mourning. There can be no doubt of what her husband's view of such a case would be ; and we trust there can be none about hers. The courage, the modesty, the dignity, and the devoted ness with which he could repress personal feelings, however sacred, which could in any way affect public interests, were among the prominent " I went yesterday to see the Duke of Wellington in his room after his arrival at the Castle, our cosversation soon turning to the question of the vacant adjutant-generalship. I asked the duke what he was prepared to reoommend. He said he bad had • letter on the subject recommending the union of the two aloes of adjutant-general and quarter. master-general, and he placed his answer to it in my hands. He then proceeded to ry that he thought it necessary that we should cast our eyes a little before us. He was past 80 years, and would next month enter upon his 82nd. He was, thank God ! very well and strong, and ready to do any thing ; but he could not last for ever, and in the natural course of events we must look to a change before long. As long as he was there he did the duty of all the offices him self To form a new office by uniting the duties of adjutant-general and quartermaster-general in the person of a chief of the staff, as was the practice in some foreign armies, would be to appoint two different persons to do the same duty, which would never answer. The chief of the staff would again h►ve to sub-divide his office into an adju tant-general and quartermaster-general's department, and nothing would be gained. "However, the duke saw the greatest advantage in hav ing a chief of the staff, if, after his death, that arrangement should be made which he had always looked to, and which be considered the beet—vis., that I should marine the com mand of the army. The state of the weather is a matter of no small importance, as affecting the various interests connected with this great annual gathering. The fine morning, there. fore, was bailed with satisfaction by both salesmen and buyers, while it greatly contributed to the comfort and goodly appearance of the animals on sale, and afforded visitors ► betteropport laity of appreciating their excellence. It has been for some weeks confidently asserted that there would be today a larger collection of beasts, if not a finer one than for many years past. It was by no means a surprise consequently that we saw the somewhat startling figures 9,239 exhibited in the early day as representing the number for which space was bespoken ; however, there are only 8,430 paid toll for. The avenge quality is good—we cannot say very good speaking of the average, because there are a great many quite inferior. Nevertheless, every breed is fairly repre sented. There are but few of those unsightly creatures deformed with humps of fat that some years since dis figured both our cattle shows and Christmas markets. This result, however, is just what was aimed at by the members of the various societies whose specimens tine from yaw to year been exhibited. We sincerely congratulate them on the suceess obtained, and doubt not that the few remaining defects will soon yield to the skill and assiduity which have wrought such marvellous improvements already. It is difficult to determine which breed is best re presented to-day. The Soots are very good, so also the Devon* and Herefords ; that is, there are some splendid specimens of each. These are favourite qualities, and realise top prices. We see very few of the large Sussex beasts that once were plentiful on these occasions. There is a considerable number of west country baste, but we do not think they are either so plentiful or so good as in former years. There are some very good Welsh oxen, and the short-horns fully maintain the im provement we noticed in them last year. Indeed there is a very floe collection of this last description of beasts. Trade on the whole is dull, the butchers hoping, in . consequence of the large supply, to buy cheaper ; but the weather is favour able, and the choicest descriptions are being disposed of, some reaching nearly 3d. per lb. The number of sheep is much smaller than last year, and the quality generally speaking is not so good as on former occasions. We do not, however, usually look for a very large supply at this season of the year, beef being the article most in demand for Christmas, it may therefore be said to be ample. Last year there was considerable difficulty in disposing of those of a prizo character, and this may in some measure account for their not being so plentiful to-day. The season, too, during the past twelve months has been rather unfavourable for sheep feeding. Still we have to report a fair show both of the aristocratic Smith-down and the mote humble yet very serrice.ble long-wools. The present condition of the tallow market is very discouraging to the prodnsers of the latter description, and makes the purchasers very cau tious and hesitating. But the class of sheep, to our minds, deserving of special attention is that known as half-heeds. These are now largely grazed in Liseoleshire and other counties, which formerly only produced big and fat long wools. We observed to-day several lots of this description ' in fine condition. They present a combination of some of the qualities of the two before-mentioned breeds, and arelln . . . PARIS, Dcc. 15.

She will feel that the highest honour to his memory now will be to soften his lose to the nation to the utmost—to provide for the councils and the action of the State resuming their fulness and vigour—and to wait no longer for the transaction of public affairs and of social business becoming aa vi gorous and complete as in the natural course. What ever may be her reluctance to meeting her Privy Councillors and her subjects, she has courage and self-denial enough for the task. From this day forward we shall hope to hear of full Councils being held, during a period when wo need all wisdom for the guidance of our course. We shall hope to see her among us again—confident as she must be that wherever she goes in hor own kingdom she goes among friends and quips thisers.

She will re member also how the trading interests of London have suffered by the seclusion of the Court during the past year, and she will put an end to this kind of sacrifice as soon as possible. For the first few months the evil which involved the fortunes of thousands of households was borne patiently and magnanimously, and this is the best reason for its being brought to an end with the year of close mourning.

THE ENGLISH AND IRISH RIOTH NEAR CHESTER YIELD.—CHUTIEREIZED, SATUEDAT.—This morning mom men were brought up before the county magistracy, chard with riot and intimidation, at Sbeepbraige, near this town, on Tuesday last. All the pr,e,ners denied the charge, sad were defended by Mr Cutts, so- licitor. The evidence of several Irishmen was taken, end according to their statement it appeared that the prisoners ordered all the Irish out of the works. They refused to go, but were forcibly driven away, and pursued for upwards of a mile. Several of them were rather ae. verely beaten, and nom have since returned to work. The timekeeper gave evidence which exculpated two of the men, and they were consequently discharged. The evidence was very contradictory, sod the magistrates decided to send the remaining five prisoners for trial at the ensuing quarter sessious, on the charge of riot. Bail was accepted.

(to which the duke replied that with good honest intentions one could do a great deal, and that he should not be the least afraid on that score) — whether I could perform the duties consistently with my other avocations, as I should not like to undertake what I could not carry through, not knowing what time or atten tion they would require. " The duke answered that it would certainly require both time and attention, for nothing could be done without my knowledge, or without my order, but that the detail would be worked out by the chief of the staff. He bad thoroughly considered that and would make it work. . . He always stood up for the principle of the army being commanded by the Sovereign, and he endeavoured to make the practice agree with that theory by scrupulously taking on every point the Queen's pleasure before he acted. But, were he gone, he saw no security, unless I undertook the command myself, and thus supplied what was deficient in the constitutiona l working of the theory arising from the circumstance of the present Sovereign being a lady. Strictly constitutionally I should certainly be responsible for my acts, but before the world in general the chief of the staff would bear the responsibility, and for that office the man of the greatest 13111113 and weight in the army ought to be se lected. He repeated that he thought this the most de sirable arrangement, and would at once work it out to the beet of his ability. . . . I begged him to leave me time to consider tho proposal. "In the evening the Queen gave the Duke of Wellington an audience, I being present. After having set out by sav ing he was most anxious to let the Queen know and feel all he knew and felt about it—ln fact, to think aloud—the duke repeated what he bad said to me in the morning. and we discussed the question further. I said that there were several points which still required to be con sidered. . . . The offer was so tempting for a young man that I felt boiled to look most closely to all the °Nect tions to it in order to come to a right decision. . . . The Queen, as • lady, was not able at all times to perform the many duties imposed upon her ; moreover, she had no pri vate secretary who worked for her, as former Sovereigns had bed. The only person who helped her and who could assist her in the multiplicity of work which ought to be done by the Sovereign was myself. I should be very sorry to undertake any duty which would absorb my time and attention so much for one department as to interfere with my gourd usefulness to the Queen. . . . The Queen added that I already worked harder than she liked to see and than she thought was good for my health,* which I did not allow—answering that, on the contrary, business must naturally inemase with time, sod ought to increase, if the Sovereign's duties to the country were to be tho roughly performed ; but that I was anxious no more should fall upon her than could be helped. "The duke seemed struck with this consideration, end said he had not overlooked it, but might not have given it all the weight it deserved, and that he would reflect further upon it. ' We agreed at last that this question could not be satis factorily solved unless we knew the exact duties which had to be performed, and the Queen charged the duke to draw up a memorandum in which thou should be detailed, and his general opinion explained, so that we might found a de cision on that paper. This the duke promised to do. "Windsor Castle, April 6, 1850. "After a good deal of reflection on the Duke of Wellington's proposal, I went to ipay him a visit yesterday morning in his room, and found him prepared with his me morandum, which he handed me. After having reed it, I mid to him that I must consider my position as a whole, which was that of the consort and confiden tial adviser and assistant of a female sovereign. Her interest and good should stand foremost, and all other considerations must be viewed in reference to this, and in subordination to it. The question then wee simply whether I should not weaken my means of attending to all parts of the coostitutional position alike—political, social, end moral—if I devoted myself to a special branch, however important that might be ; and that I was afraid this much repute with the butcher'. The South dowse are not so well represented as we have seen on former occasions. There is comparatively but a small number. Some few very fine specimens are disposed of at high rates. Gloucestershire supplies some very large, perhaps the heaviest sheep are from that county, but they ere more wasteful than other long-wools. The Lincolnshire long-wools are not very plentiful, but some very fine speci mens we on sale. On the whole the weight of mutton is certainly deficient; and consequently the most saleable kiwis are readily sold at higher rates—in some instances 9d. per lb. has been reached. It is impossible to walk amongst ibis large number of cattle without being struck with the NW with which it may be done.

Plgs • The anxiety of the Queen lest the prince should injure his health by his excessive attention to public busbies, natu rally continued to increase. In 1860, when the Society of Arts mewed the proposal for holding a wood Interna tional Exhibition, the Queen wrote to Lord Granville, with out the knowledge of the prince, expressing her earnest hope that be (Lord Granville) would do all that in him lay to prevent the responsibility and labour of conducting the undertaking being thrown in any way on his royal high ness. The Queen felt deeply the neoessity for averting any addition to the heavy work already entailed on the prince by the assistance and support (every day more needful to her) which be gave her in the trsusaction of all public bad ness; and her Majesty was convinced. that be could not again undertake the labour he bad gone through in conduct ing the first Exhibition to its successful termination with out injury to that health which was not only most precious to hermit and Ma family, but to the oountry, and iron to the world, L THE PRINCESS OF PRUSSIA AT ROME. On the Saturday before their departure from Rome, the Crown Prince and Princess of Prussia, at half pest 8 in the morning, went to the Ghetto to witness a Jewish service in the principal synagogue. On the morning of the following day the Prince and Princess, with their mite, were present at pontifical mass is the Sistine Chapel, and in the afternoon, accompanied by Mr. Ode Russell and Mr. Pentland, attended divine service ►t the English Protestant Church, where they heard • sermon by the Rey. Mr. Woodward. Their royal highnesses received Cardinal Antonelli and Moneignore Giraud at dinner in the evening. On the Monday the Prince went to pay a quiet farewell visit to the King of Naples at the Farness Palace. His Majesty was seated at dinner with so little appearance of regal eclat, that some delay intervened before he could get ready and repair to the drawing-room to receive the Prince. Not seeing his royal highness there, nor finding him make his appearance for 114:31221) time afterwards, the King sent to know where he was, when he learnt that the Prince, after bearing that the King was at dinner, bad con tented himself with leaving • P.P.C. The coun terpart of this little incident took place later in the evening at the Caffarelli Palace. Diener was just over, and their royal highnesses were in the drawing room with their guests, Mr. Adeane, M.P., Lady Elisabeth Adeane, and Mr. Odo Russell, when a chamberlain an nounced to the Prince that the King of Naples had come. A few words passed in an under tone, the chamberlain va nished, the door of the drawing-room was reclosed, and the royal victor returned to the Farness Palace. This was all that the guests esw, but whether the King wu sent away with • " not at home," or whether he had a momentary in terview with the Prince, or whether he originally intended only to leave a civil message at the Caffatelli Palace, are questions on which the gossip-monger, of Rome are still divided.

EXPRESS FROM PARIS. (nom OCR OWN CORRESPONDWNT.) PARIS, SUNDAY EVENING. The evening papers are as barren an usual on a Sunday. The only paragraph that I find in them worth citing is the following one in the Patric, which assumes the truth of the telegram stating that Mr. Elliot is authorised to give up the lonian Islands to Greece : . . . The Greek question is, therefore, now propounded in terms which exclude all fear of complicitroos. Adversaries as we are of the English policy in this question, we do not liesitate to say now that the Britannic government yields nobly to the exigencies of a situation which we have always basted upon is the totereata of Hellenic independence. It is observed that none of the journals reproduce Lord Brougham's letter from the Temps.

Alphonse Royer will not accept the direction of the Op‘ra Comique, which was offered him in exchange for the Grand Opera, and that he is appointed inspector of fine arts, the Emperor, from his private purse, making an addition to his salary. A rumour is current that Mario's failure and the sad accident to Mdlle. Livry were the immediate causes of M. Royer's dismissal, which, however, had been long contem plated. " Vous iteignez un chanteur et vous allumez une danseuse," has been said to him, as if that was the ne phis ultra of bad management. He was very popular at the theatre, as is proved by a flattering farewell address numerously signed ; in deed, too much good nature is one of the things which he is reproached with. CHARLES DICKENS AND THE LANCAENIEZ Drs "The celebrated novelist Cluirles Drams is in Paris, and proposes to pass the winter there," says a correspondent of the Nord. "It is said that he intends to organise in that city a series of readings from his own works, the pro ceeds of which will be devoted to the Lamellas operatives.
