There he shewed himself as brave as the " golden lion," Lord COMBER MERE himself. He got well wounded at Talavera, and well rewarded afterwards. He was placed in command on occasions requiring special courage, and he amply justified the confidence reposed in him. After the peace of 1815 there was little for him to do in the way of foreign war. He was entrusted with the far less agreeable duty of keeping the peace at home. lie was stationed in the South of Ireland during the excitement which at last became so formidable that even the Duke of WELLINGTON quailed before it, and granted hated emancipation to the Roman Catholics rather than incur the certain alternative of civil war. GOUGH, who had seen service in three continents, was now to take a command in the fourth. He went to India, headed the force sent against Canton, and obtained a victory so com plete that he was publicly thanked in Parliament, and was rewarded with a baronetcy. Then came the great struggle with the bravest race in India. Never had England a more gallant foe than she found in the Sikh. The Sikh had the true British quality of not knowing when he was beaten. He rallied again and again after each defeat. The battle of Moodke was followed by Ferozeshah, and that by Sobraon, which was so decisive that the enemy laid down their arms, and accepted our terms of peace at Lahore. Sir HUGH GOUGH was created a baron for this success. But he was to rise to higher honours, for his work was not yet over. After a short breathing space, the Sikhs rallied, and took the field again. Then were fought the battles of Ramnuggur, Chillianwallah, bloody and indecisive, to be followed by the still more bloody battle of Gooj erat. Inis, now e er, wilts avow., v. IL bound to be ; for the country was crying out at GOUGH'S butcher's bills. The Sikhs were thoroughly mastered; GOUGH was made a viscount, and received a • grant of £2,000 a year from Parlia ment for three generations, and a like sum from the East India Company. From that date his Lighting days were over. He had already nearly attained the ordinary limit of human life. He was to survive for twenty years, and during that time he received numerous honours. He died a nona genarian. AN UNPUBLISHED LETTER BY M. DE LAMARTINE. The following letter, addressed sixteen years ago by M. de Iftmartine to the Author of " Aletheia," having reference to a poem in that work entitled Lamartine in February," possesses an especial inte rest at this moment by reason of M. de Lamartine's allusion to his tomb, and to the light in which he was desirous of being regarded by posterity : g , Paris, 7 Avril, 1853.

" How much I regret that I did not know them sooner, and that I have allowed you to believe me wanting either in admiration or in gratitude. I am wanting in neither when I read you, and I hasten to repair as much as pos sible the neglect occaFdoned by accident. " No picture of the events of 1848 places me in view of Posterity under a more favourable aspect, or in a light more resplendent. It is the light of Partiality and of Poetry. But Poetry, whom I have loved so much, owed me some slight return. She pays me largely by your hands.

CORRESPONDENCE FROM PARIS, (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS, WEDNESDAY, March 3. M. Emile 011ivier's book has not met with a very favourable reception. It is not likely to gain the verdict for which it was written ; it is not likely to improve the position of its author. An Apologia of this kind seldom does answer the purpose:for which it is designed, and there is small probability of an exception to the general rule in the case of a man who at present occupies no political position, except the unenviable one of forming a party by himself. I believe M. 011ivier is rather hardly treated, but it is unquestionable that the Impe rialists know him no more, whilst he is distrusted by all shades of the Opposition. But though the book is not likely to do its author much good, it is very interesting. M. Emile 011ivier, one of the deputies for the city of Paris, managed to persuade the Dec de Morny and Count Walewski that large and liberal reforms were essential to the stability of the empire. These deceased statesmen acted as middlemen, and M. 011ivier was brought in contact with the Emperor, who accepted his advice. But, unfortu nately for his project, Ti!. 011ivier would not become a Minister, and his large arid liberal measure of reform was lost. M. Rouher was chosen by the Emperor as his repre sentative in the negotiations, and the result was that the radical changes in contemplation were burked. Ti!. Rouher could not tolerate a system of reform which would hand the Emperor over to other influence. Instead of crowning the edifice, N. Rouher so ordered matters that only a few miserable alterations were made, leaving the spirit of despotism and personal government precisely where it was. M. Rouher's ascendancy grew, and M. 011ivier was thrown out of the contest. The Opposition papers here deliver a tolerably unanimous verdict. M. 011ivier was defeated, and the cause of liberty lost, because he had such intense self-consciousness as to believe he was the prime mover of everything. Whilst he imagined that he had the ascendancy over men's minds he was being duped. He left his party in order to secure reform with the help of Imperialists. He failed, and is now alone. The principal item in the book is a letter by Napoleon wilieu Lltrun..tuch 11,,ht opo x 1,1,....1.aLaeGer, awl altogether a most interesting epistle. Speaking of the time of the proposed reforms, his Majesty says : "Believe me that what impedes me is neither uncertainty nor a vain infatuation concerning my prerogatives, but the fear of depriving myself of the means of re-establishing in this country, so troubled by different passions, that moral order which is the essential basis of liberty. What makes me uneasy on the subject of the law on the press is not to find the force which shall repress, but the manner of defining a law on infractions which merit repression. The most dangerous articles may escape all condemnation, whilst insignificant ones may fall under the penalty of the law. Here has always been the diffi culty. Nevertheless, to strike the imagination by decisive measures, I would wish at one stroke to establish what has been called the crowning of the edifice ; I should like to do this and never undo the work, for a settlement is neces sary to me and to the country. I must mark out resolutely the goal that I desire to reach without having the appear. ance of being forced, year by year, to make successive concessions, for one always falls, as said M. Guizot, on the side one leans, and I wish to march straight and firmly, without oscillating, now to the right, now to the left." This 'is frank, clear, and instructive. Few persons perusing this letter can have any doubt as to the secret desires of the Imperial writer. It shews clearly the great difficulties by which he is beset. But it also shews that if he were convinced of his security he would not hesitate to make a change which should establish a definite form of Government to outlast his time. The Emperor cannot but look to the future. He cannot but see the great probability of his responsible system of Government being upset when left to the charge of his wife and son. He wishes to crown the edifice, and consolidate his power, but he fears that it cannot be done. Most men, having two evils before them, choose the least. Is the Emperor sure that, in refusing freedom, lie is choosing the least? Reform might be dange: ou,s ; the present system must explode sometime. The Corps L6gislatif has again had the City of Paris finances under consideration. The issue has been that the contract with the Crddit Foncier, which was attacked and condemned, even by M. Rouher himself, has been passed intact. No amendment has been made. There are some things which they do not manage better in France. Queen Isabella has left the Pavillon de Rohan, and taken up her residence at her house in the Avenue du Roi de Rome, Champs Elys4es. A tremendous storm has raged all over the coast of France during the last day or two. At Bayonne and Havre the tempest has been most disastrous. A divorce case, which may serve to illustrate the state of morality in France, hq.s; just been tried at Marseilles. A merchant had but one child, which died. Being toad of children, and finding his affection likely to waste its sweetness on the desert air, he addressed himself to his wife's femme de ehambre, who very speedily favoured him with three olive branches. It was represented that they were the children of an individual con nected with the firm, and the merchant's wife, quite unaware of the truth, treated them with great kindness. At length, on the death of the mother, the merchant, anxious to let his illegitimate off spring share his immense fortune, revealed the secret to his wife. She, however, was deeply hurt, retired from his home, and has obtained a judicial separation. The odd part.of the story is that the lady should so quietly have permitted a servant to rear and bring up three children in her house. The merchant possesses an annual income of £BO,OOO.

The discussion and division, which took place yes terday i,n the Housa of Commons, on Mr. FawcErr's Election Expenses Bill, were, in more ways than one, remarkable. They illustrated afresh the significance of the old saying about the wilful man—one whose obdurate adherence to his own opinion so often brings about a result very much like that attained by "vaulting Ambition," according to SHAKSPERE'S definition of it and its consequences, namely, that "it overleaps itself." Yes--" it overleaps itself, and falls on t'other side"—of the hedge ! It was, at at any rate, precisely thus in the instance of the mem ber for Brighton and his pet measure. The Parlia mentary Secretary for the Treasury remonstrated with him before the House went to a divi sion, suggesting that the Bill was merely one portion of a large subject requiring comprehen sive rather than piecemeal treatment, and expressed a very natural regret that its projector would not agree to have it referred to the Select Committee on Parliamentary and Municipal Elections about to be moved for immediately by the right hon. gentleman, the Secretary of State for the Home Department. Mr. AYRTON advised, of course, that the bill should be read a second time, but, as strongly as he could, urged Mr. FawcErr to consent to its going before the committee as proposed. Nothing of the kind, however, would suit Mr. FAWCETT'S infatuation. He rejected all notion of any compromise what ever. The division was in consequence duly taken. Supporters and opponents of the measure mustered to the number of 333 altogether, exclusive of Tellers and Speaker—and as the upshot of all this, the bill was thrown out by a majority of three, the numbers being 66 for and 165 against it ! No wonder the announcement of that division was received with loud and prolonged cheering—particularly from the side of the Opposition. It was, in one sense, the drawing of the first blood—it was asc )re, first of ftII, to the Conservatives or Constitutionalics. They were naturally elate. And the bill itself was burked. All because of Mr. FAWCETT's determination, coute qui coute, to act upon his own opinion —to run directly counter to the opinion of others, and those the chiefs of the Liberal Party, as represented upon the occa sion by the Parliamentary Secretary to the Treasury. Another distinguishing peculiarity of yesterd ty's dis cussion upon this now summarily rejected Bill of Mr. FAWCETT'S, was the fact of its introducing to the no tice of the House—for the most part a grave and serious House, a new and rather whimsical jokemas ter. In the absence of the late, always facetious and often exhilarating, member for Nottingham, the en trance into the House of Commons of any one having a capacity (consciously or unconsciously it really matters little) of provoking the House to laughter is most certainly :matter for congratulation. Time w as, when we had drolls enough, there, of one kind or another—from the utter absurdity of Colonel SIBTHORPE, to the dry and eccentric humour of Mr. HENRY DRUMMOND. Now, we have still Mr. DISRAELI'S Wit, it is true, and we have Mr. BRIGHT'S humour, and we have the grotesque oddi ties of the member for South Warwickshire, but, beyond those, we have for the most part serried ranks of serious faces confronting each other upon the right and upon the left hand of gr. SPEAKER. So that when a new representative like the hon. baronet the member for Herefordshire makes his appearance for the first time distinctly as appealing to the House's sense of risibility, he is, on the whole, rather acceptable than otherwise. It was frib bling fun, he indulged in, when you came to look at it : but still, for all that, it was fun of a sort—and the House laughed, as if grateful for the relaxation, and the new member was, in that sense, hailed as a success. All we can hope is that he will continue, and that he will improve—like good wine, mellowing ! That at auy rate he wont fall back into the serious— of which we have certainly more than enough—so that we should have reason to muse over him regret fully, as HAMLET does over the skull of YORICK— " Where be your gibes, your flashes of merriment ? Not one, now—quite chapfallen?" Sir HERBERT CROFT must keep to the line which he has adventured upon at his first appearance. Another time Mr. FAW cETT will, possibly, have more discretion. Yesterday he was over confident, and he and his Bill have paid the penalty. It is matter for regret. But it has so fallen out, and it is, unhappily, for the time, past mending. ON Tuesday there died, near Dublin, Field Marshal Viscount GOUGH, the conqueror of the Sikhs. He was the son of Irish parents, and was born in November 1779. At that time CLIVE had been dead four years, but the Indian empire which he founded, and which the infant in his cradle at Woodstown was to establish and increase, was of very small extent compared with its present limits. There was much fighting to be done before the British India of to-day was formed; in that fighting HUGH GoUGH was to have no small share. He was to serve his apppenticeship elsewhere. Nearly three-quarters of a century ago he was warring against the Dutch, at the Cape of Good Hope, and captured Cape Town and the Dutch fleet. Then be went to the West Indies, where during the great war there was always fighting going on, and colonies changed hands almost as fast as shares change hands to-day in Capel Court. There was more serious work in store for him than this, He h a d d one so IIETEOR OLOG ICA L REFORT9. Extreme Sea Thursday, • F. 0 March 4, B. T. .9 W. Ito F.

After a slight decrease yesterday afternoon atmospherical pressure has again Increased over these islands, especially in the N., whilst a slight decrease has taken plaee in the S.W. of France. Readings are now remarkably uniform. There is a small local depression at Scar borough. A slight recovery in temperature is noticed at all stations except Yarmouth, and In the E. and S. of France, where there has been a further fall. The winds remain light. They have become more northerly in these islands (except in the S.E. of England), and have drawn to the S.E. in the Bay of Biscay and English Channel•_ The heavy gales noticed in the S. of France yesterday have disap prared. Some rain has fallen on the S. coast, and lightning has been observed in the S.E. The sky is cloudy and somewhat misty, but weather is finer generally than of late.

The funeral of the Right lion. George John Sack villa West, late Earl of De-la-Warr, took place at Withgham Church, Sussex, yesterday, whither the body was car ried from Buckhurst Hall. The funeral was on a grand scale, and the service was choral. Among the mourners were Feveral of the nobility, chiefly of the families of West and Cecil. Speaking of Mr. Gladstone's disestablishment scheme, the Guardian says it is open to criticism in every part, but. impressed, we must say, throughout with all the marks of extreme pains, singular skill, and the strongest de sire to be fair and just. It is a largo coherent plan, framed on definite principles, working them out thorougly, and in the most essential respects favourable to the Church. The appeal case of " The Rev. John E. Sedgwick and the Bishop of Manchester," from a decision of the Bishop of Manchester revoking the licence of the Rev. Mr. Sedgwick, minister of St. Alban's, Manchester, for receiving confession in his office, came before the Archbishop of York yesterday, his Grace being assisted by Lord Chelmsford. The Solicitor-General opingd the case in support of the app. cation: THE BALLOT. The supporters of the Ballot are hoping a series of meetings in the metropolis. The second was held on Wednesday, under the presidency of Lord Campbell. Amongst those present were Mr. Muntz, M.P., Mr. Eykyn, M.P., Dr. Brewer, M.P., Dr. Dalrymple, M.P., Air. Howard, M.P., Mr. Rylands, M.P., Mr. Illingworth, M.P., Mr. Stapylton, M.P., the Hon. Auberon Herbert, the Hon. George Brodrick, Mr. Bowring, M.P., &c. In his opening speech the noble CHAIRMAN said what they now had to combat was that vague and false association which connected the Ballot in some minds with everything that was coarse and dangerous; but the best answer to that feeling, his lordship thought, was a brief reference to those hon. gentlemen by whom the cause had been advocated. In highly complimentary terms he referred to the labours of Lord Macaulay, Mr. Grote, and Mr. Berkeley, and said that a new advocate had sprung up in the person of Sir Henry Bulwer, whose talent had been exercised in every quarter of the world. It had been urged that the Ballot was un-English, and no doubt the observation was correct ; but as yet it had never been tried in parliamentary elections, and therefore no decided opinion could be formed respecting it. He sought by argument to counteract the unjust impressions that existed in the imagination and the sentiments of some men against the Ballot, and spoke of many circumstances which gave additional encouragement to the society. His lordship said that many of the most conspicuous and effective members of the Government were in their favour, and he especially adverted to Mr. Bright, whose name was received with marked applause. Other circumstances of great encouragement were the experience which has been gained by the friends of the Ballot in Australia, where the machinery had been pretty well adjusted; and the great success that had attended the movement in Man chester subsequently. Mr. EYKIN, in a brief speech, said that however great corrupt practices at parliamentary elections may have been, the hotbed of corruption was in the municipal elec tions, and being strongly impressed with that belief he had given notice of his intention to move that the Ballot be adopted at all future municipal elections. The Hon. GEORGE BRODRIcI said the only argument against the 13a11ot worth answering was that urged by Mr. Mill, namely, that the evils which the Ballot would cure were now diminishing, and might be abated altogether. He maintained that the dependence of the poorer class of voters, and the rural population especially, was a refutation of that argument. At Woodstock, for instance, out of 1,200 voters, no less than 500 were agricultural labourers, of whom 400 were under the direct influence of the Duke of Marlborough. The opponents of the Ballot pointed to the experience of America as a reason for its rejection, but he maintained that the reference to America did not bear upon the ques tion at all. The ballot in America was what was known as the open Ballot, there being no secrecy whatever, because in the United States the poorer portion of the population was ten times more independent than the same section in England. The Hon. AUBERON HERBERT said that during his stay in America he was struck with the law•abiding character of the people, which, he said, was the result of their con viction that, being in possession of the Ballot, they could, when the elections came roand,rernove any undue pressure that was put upon them. Mr. MuNTz said that whenever the Ballot was referred to, distant countries, such as Australia and America, were spoken of ; but people had only to visit Belgium to find proof of its happy results. He believed that of the recent converts to the Ballot the defeated candidates formed a very large portion. He regretted that at the last election South-West Lancashire went the wrong way, but he con soled himself with the reflection that Mr. Gladstone's rejection was one of the greatest triumphs that had been obtained for the Ballot. Dr. BREWER said the prevention of ferment at elec tions constituted sufficient ground for the adoption of Ulf Ballot. Mr. BOWRING and other gentlemen also addressed the meeting. The proceedings terminated with a cordial vote of thanks to the noble chairman. THE REPRESENTATION OF MIDDLESEX. The Conservatives of the county of Middlesex have again been celebrating their victory at the general election. Lord George Hamilton's return was unexpected to a large body of even the Conservatives themselves ; and their joy is proportionately greater. Willis's Rooms, the old banquetting hall, was crowded with a large and distin guished company. Amongst others there were present Sir J. Pakington, M.P., Sir S. Northcote, M.P., Earl Beauchamp, the Earl of Verulam, Lord C. Hamilton, M.P., Lord C. J. Hamilton, the Earl of Bective, Lord Jahn Manners, M.P., Mr. Mowbray, M.P., Lord R V. Tempept, - Viscount Crichton, Mr. Christopher Sykes, M.P., Mr. H. Dyke, M.P., Mr. W. H. Smith, M.P., Sir W. Farquhar, Sir John Gibbons, Mr. Newde gate, M.P., Mr. Fowler, M.P., Mr. Cubitt, M.P., Sze. Among the speakers were Lord C. J. Hamilton, Lord George Hamilton, Sir John Pakington, and Sir Stafford Northcote. Lord C. J. HAMILTON rejoiced that the Government had somewhat qualified the reckless reduc tions which they were making in other branches of the service by the assurance that they would soon institute reforms in the Militia calculated to bring that force into closer relations with the army, and toincreaseits efficiency. To all real reforms Militia officers would accede with Plea sure, but whether they would hailwith equal satisfaction the transfer of patronage from the hands of lords-lieutenant of counties to those of the Secretary of State remained to be seen. The proof of a pudding lay admittedly in the eating of it, and he must say this particular pudding carried with it some feelings of indignation. In speaking of the question of the day, he translated the cry " Justice to Ireland" into "Obedience to Cardinal Cullen." Lord GEORGE HAMILTON, in congratulating himself and the meeting on the glorious victory which had been attained, protested against explaining away on the part the Liberals. While, however, they had been victorious in Middlesex, it was useless to disguise that the Conserva tives had been beaten at the elections in a manner they bad no right to expect. They had some consolation, how ever, in the importance of the victories they had gained. It certainly was not of frequent occurrence that by a s ingle county three Liberal Cabinet Ministers were sent begging a bout the country for seats. P ass i ng t o t h e s t a te of Ireland lie said : The present Government took credit for discontinuing the suspension of the Habeas Corpus Act in Ireland, but it was owing to the state in which the country had been handed over to them that they were able to do so. As regarded the Irish Church Bill, looking back at what had occurred 200 years ago in an historic city in the north of Ireland, he saw that a small but determined minority by the skill of their leaders and by the dissensions and jealousies of their adversaries were able to resist the assaults of overwhelm ing force. 'Whatever might happen in the future, the pre sent duty of the Opposition was plain—to resist a violation of national compacts. Sir J. PAKINGTON, on the Irish Church, said he had all along disapproved the principle of the Irish Church Bill, but now that it had been published to the world, with all its characteristics of plunder, injustice, and irreligion, he was more opposed to it than ever. Sir STAFFORD NORTHCOTE pointed out how a Parlia ment elected under Lord Palmerston's Government really to oppose a Reform Bill had turned out the very one to pass a Reform measure. Might not a Parliament chosen to pass the Irish Church Bill do as its immediate prede cessor had done—the very opposite of what it was intended to do. He referred to the loss of Mr. Fawcett's measure that day as an augury of the same kind. The Govern ment, elected by a majority of 120 to carry out a parti cular policy announced in the Queen's Speech, were interrupted by one of their most ardent supporters, who proposed a bill interfering with the course which they intended to pursue. Her Majesty's Government sup ported their supporter, as, indeed, they were bound to do, and the Opposition were gratified to find that the Government were placed in a minority of three. Might that happen very often ! On the Irish Church question, Sir Stafford said he had listened to the wonderful speech which was delivered by Mr. Gladstone on Monday with a feeling that it was one of the greatest efforts of one of the greatest orators, not only of the present day, but, he might say, of the present century. But one thing surpassed his admiration for the eloquence, the skill, the lucidity of that address, and with that feeling that assembly now present would sympathise —it was a feeling of alarm and horror at the scheme which the address embodied. The ingenious and elaborate proposals that were made in that speech were as bad as the speech itself was good ; and he confessed that he should look with the greatest dread at the prospect held out were it not that Englishmen and Conservatives did not readily know when they were beaten. He was satisfied that when Englishmen understood the measure they would feel that it was one unparalleled in its character—one combining a gigantic scheme of robbery with a still worse system of bribery ; one threatening not only the branch of the Church established in Ireland, but the existence of the Established Church in Eng land also. When once the people of England knew the true nature of this scheme, he had no doubt and no fear but that public opinion would make itself felt in Par liament, and that the measure which was now threatening the country would be dissipated like many others which had threatened it in times gone by. At all events, the course of the Conservative party was clear. They might be in a minority. It might even turn out that they were in a small minority, but they had a clear line of duty before them, which was to resist this measure to the utter most, to do their best on every occasion thoroughly to IX /M 9 it§ is lc miLthela the ixra ("ft 1 , k., ~ "-,1-,------- ta, r'444,„ ' ••' i.

POLICE lA'TELLIGENCE—This Day. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. STEALING MARKED POSTAGE STAMPS AND MONO .-- Edward Stapleton, office lad in the employ of Mr. Ale v !wrier Moffatt, engineer, of V, Princes street,. Leicester square, was charged before Mr. Knox with stealing Soule postage stamps and money, the property of his employer. From the evidence it appeared that the prosecutor 11 0 " ing missed postage stamps at different times yesterday ;narked thirty-eight and two shillings, and placed theme in a drawer in his office.
