_. ~. THE LATE DUKE OF KENT. -,........- The following character of this Prince, whose memory never will be forgotten, and who pleaded so powerfully the interests of the benevolent institutions in this metropolis and in othei parts—besides had used such indefatigable exertions to propagate the British system of education, and teach a rising generation in " the way they should go"- T -is thus given : After adverting to a correspondence between Lady Stanhope, at Sidon, on this subject, Mr. Wilson, mentioning , the anxiety of his Royal Highness to promote it in the East, where her Ladyship's interest is so extensive, it is said— " The mind of this illustrious and most humane Prince, was cast in a peculiar mould. He was endowed with a highly vigorous on& rstanding, to which a lofty and fearless inde pendence of soul gave free scope ; and whatever his hand found to do, it was pursued with an invincible ardour and per severance, and " with all his might" regardless of those taunts and frowns which he had encountered from many who were jealous of his superior talents, and growing popularity. It cannot fail to be in the perfect recollection of all who have heard him pleading in behalf of the circulation of the mighty word r.f God, and for the wretched, which were always the great objects of his deep solicitude, how much his heart was in their cause. when his glowing eloquence was most rousing and commanding, yet highly distinguished for sympathy, which made the strongest impression on all around. No man, indeed, stood on higher ground than the Duke, that is to say, in the estimation of the thinking class of mankind, or exhibited a brighter example to persons of all ranks. In him there was nothing of duplicity, or worldly calculation, but, on the contrary, an open urbane frankness and straight forwardness, characterized his deportment on every one occasion. To enter into particulars. The habits of hie Royal Highness were most regular and systematical. He was the very reverse of a Bon vivant or gourmand, a gambler, or horse racer. Highly distinguished for sobriety, after the example of bis father, and guarding in his most convivial moments against the slightest degree of excess ; so did he reprobate such vices when he found diem practised by others. Never was it known that he lent his countenance or company to profligates, or persons of immoral character ; but, on the contrary he courted the so ciety of those who were useful in the world, and of " good report." Indeed, I have the best access to know, that when he was forming an intimacy with any man, the first question he put to those who knew him was, if he was correct and sober in his deportment ; and when he found him to be other wise, be would withdraw his attentions from him. Like his venerable parent he rose at a very early hour, and was at his desk laboriously occupied like any common clerk. For punctuality of correspondence no Prince of the blood, nay few men in any situation of life, could approach. His ac curacy in this respect was universally acknowledged to be al together unparalleled, indeed it was proverbial ; and althongb the written dispatches his Royal Highness received daily, were absolutely laid before him in heaps, an answer was returned to each with a most marked punctuality. 'l' mention merely one proof of his extraordinary activity, during the year previous to his most lamented death, hi wrote five hundred letters upon a multiplicity of topics, as, for instance, his regiment, the benevolent institutions he pa. tronizod both at home and abroad, and his own private affairs, which were copied into a book with all the regularity of a merchant. Never was there a more firm and sincere friend, and it was one peculiarly distinguished trait in his character, which bas been universally acknowledged—and would his example were followed by others—that he never deserted, under any circumstances, however adverse, those whom he took by the hand, or befriended. Access to him was at all times easy, and he was the freest of all men from pride or conceit. In him there was none of that hauteur, or air of superiority, and " vain glory" assumed but a kind ness that won the hearts of all who approached him. He was strong in affection, never was the cause of the ruin a/ any one by a smile, his heart was warm, generous, and be. nevolent ; most keenly did he feel for the sufferings of his fellow-creatures, and be had " a hand open as day to melt. ing charity." The streams indeed of the. Duke's benevo lence were poured forth into an infinite variety of channels, for he had that " charity which is kind, and never faileth," and whose ear was ever open to those who were distressed "in mind, body, or estate." In a word, he was the tried friend of the lonely widow, whose heart he made to sing for joy, of the miserable orphan, the stranger destitute of friends, end the true British soldier. Again his Royal Highness never " fashioned his doctrines to the varying hour." but was steady to those political and liberal principles, which on the very fullest conviction he had embraced, and no pains or interest on earth could shake or prevail on him to depart from for one moment. Where, would ask, is there to be singled out, one benevolent in stitution in our metropolis, which he was solicited to pa tronize, that be did not support by all that eloquence and influence he could command. He was the great main t.pring that set every thing in rapid motion, nay the very J.fe and soul of them ; and those affecting and powerful :addresses he gave when presiding at their meetings, never felled to opea wide the purse of all who heard him A Mere lecapitulation, indeed, of those acts of mercy and compas sion which the Duke of Kent performed, would form a hi's tory of itself,—and in a word, it may be said, that " rarer spirit never did steer humanity." Now, in making tl:ree nl , Trvri•iona. I speak not the lan guage of flattery, but of •• auti soliernes.," n-q 1 I trust there are thousands who can vouch for the authenticity of ibis imperfect sketch of one of the first Princes of the blood of Great Britain, whose noble example still speaketh from the tomb to persons of his own exalted rank, as well as to others to "go and do likewise." To imitate indeed his Royal Highnesses virtues, will be the best proof of remem benug them. But alas, his sun instead of performing the usual course, set in its meridian ; for in the mysterious visit et the Almighty, quickly was he snatched from us in the midst of his benevolent career in the vineyard of hie Lord. But independent of the living, thousands and millions unborn will lisp his praise for those laborious exertions he made in the great cause of universal education, ever keeping in view the command of his Divine Master : " Suffer little children to come unto me, and forbid them not." And those re marks of his venerable father, who patronized that peculiar plan and expressed a wish " that every child in his do minions might be taught to read his Bible." Shade of the wise and the good, receive this most humble tribute justly due to thee ! It is the testimony of one who per sonally and long knew thy virtues, and by whom thy me mory wilt ever be held most dear. Thine ashes will be tholetened with the tears of our country, and thy exalted name be embalmed in the recollection of a grateful` posterity, along with those of the other enlightened and distinguished benefactor* of their species, amidst associations of the most endearing hature : • Perpetuus sopor Urguet ! cut pudor et justitte soror, lncrarupts fides, nudsque verbs*.

On Saturday there were also severe remote on the atrocious conduct of the Load Mayor, in commanding the police not to Wafere in the •protection of the premises of the eidsens. He (the Attorney-General) had the affidavit of the Lord Mayor to the effect that he had never given any order for the general il lumination; and he believed that there was no intention on the part of those who did homage to his could conduct to insult the feelings of any individual, for they not have forgotten that his Majesty had thanked the very Parliament which he dissolved for the liberal provision which they had made for his comfort and dietty. Animosity was therefore quite out ' , of the case in what his Majesty had done, and it was with a per. feet absence of such a feeling that the Lord Mayor had acted u he had done. The fact was, that on Monday th e Load Mayor had made preparations for illuminating his own residence at the Mantion.house, having heard that it was the intention generally to illuminate on that night. He was, however, waited on by several respectable individuals who informed him that at so short a notice they could not illuminate as they could wish. His Lordship then caused notices to be issued, stating that the illuminations were postponed until the Wednesday following. He also issued the strictest orders for the preservation of the peace, and on the night of the illuminations he went out himself to patrol the streets, and did not leave them until between two and three o'clock in the morning, when the crowds of people had com. pletely dispersed, and every thing was quiet. When he perceived the articles in the Morning Poet stating that a handbill such as that which he had read was circulated under the name of the Lord Mayor, he caused the most diligent inquiry to be made, the result of which was a conviction that no such placard was ever printed except in the co lumns of the Morning Post. Lord TENTERDEX—He, of course, denies all knowledge of it. The Arrounity-Onsatar......The Lord Mayor not only denies all knowledge of it, but says that he caused diligent inquiry to be made, without 11UCC,4114 as to the existence of such a handbill. It never met his eye, and, as he could hear nothing of it, he believes It to have been a pure forgery, invented for the purpose of calumniating him. He ha also caused intr as y to be made after the printer whose name was signed to the handbi ut no such person described lived on elerkenwell. green, and he deposed to his belief that there was no such person at all.

Upon inquiry, we found that a young man named Docker. the son of a pawn in the Home-fair, bad been accidentally killed by soother, and that the affiay had arisen from gross los given by the deceased. On Wednesday, a jury sat upon the body, at the Wellingon-inn. in Exeter-row.

Could Mr. Peel have been so long ali inhabitant of this country, a member of the legislature, one of his Majesty's ministers, secretary for the home depart. asent—could he have been all this, and yet not be aware of the fact, that there was a very visible division in the public mind. as to the propriety, or justice, of ea. acting the penalty of death for offences against property If too, the thing is indeed passing strange. Where were his eyes and ears when so many petitions from all parts of the United Kingdom were presented to the house, praying, most fervently praying, for the abolition of the extreme penalty for all crimes against property, more especially for doing away with the ponisbnient of death in cases of for gery ? Aud above all, is it possible that Mr. Peel could have been ignorant of the fact that a petition to this effect, signed by upwards of one thousand bankers in all parts of the empire, was, in 1830, presented to the Commons ? It is proper to remark, by the way, that this document, so signed, is a perfectly unanswerable argument against the policy of capital punishments in cases of forgery ; —the in humanity of the thing is clearly pointed out by every man's " We correct ourselves: we are wrong, and Mr. Peel is right ; there is no division in the public mind on the sub ject. All are agreed as to the matter; all, all concur in expressing their disapprobation—abhorrence would have been a more expressive word—of those sanguinary parts of our criminal code which annex the penalty of death to offences against property. Hundreds of petitions, we have said, have been presented to the house of Common. pray ing that these enactments may b e bl ot t e d out fr om our statute book, while not one petition—let the fact never be forgotten—has been presented, or attempted to be got up, praying for their continuance. " A more mild and merciful, and equitable spirit, thank heaven, will soon pervade our criminal jurisprudence. If Parliament be, according to expectation, soon dissolved, the friends of humanity will triumph, beyond all question,, on the meeting of a new legislature. If Parliament be not dissolved, their success is equally certain; though, perhaps, not so signal, inasmuch as we do not believe there would be so great a majority when the question comes to be de cided. Mr. Peel only succeeded in his sanguinary legisla tion by a small majority in 1830. He was then, be it recol lected, a minister of the crown, and had, consequently, all the influence accompanying such station. He is nnw an ordinary member, and, of course, will have his retinue of obedient servants within doors vastly reduced. " There is one thing, the propriety of which we would lrealously impress on the minds of our countrymen, in the very probable contingency of an early dissolution of Parlia ment—viz. that strenuous exertions should be made to pro cure the return of those gentlemen—Mr. Clarkson, tor ex ample--who have distinguished themselves by their endea vours to abash capital punishments in all cases of forgery. This would be making 'aberrance of our success doubly sure. An elderly lady, residing in Southernsay, asked Temkin what sort of a tree the tree of liberty was t " A' poplar tree, ma'am," was the immediate reply of our sagacious friend.—Exeter Gazette.
