JAMES WOLFE, CONQUEROR OF CA NADA, SEPT. 13, 1759. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SlR,—The following appears in W. A. Russell's " History of England," p. 755, in a foot note : " The remains of this gallant hero were deposited in that country for the defence of which he had lost his life. On Sunday, Nov. 17, at 7 o'clock in the morning, his Majesty's ship Royal William (in which his corpse was brought from Quebec to Ports mouth) fired two signal guns for the removal of his remains. At 8 o'clock the body was lowered out of the ship into a 12-oared barge, towed by two 12- oafed barges, and attended by 12 others to the bot tom of the Point, in a train of gloomy, silent pomp, suitable to the melancholy occasion. Minute guns were fired from the ships at Spithead, from the time of the body's leaving the ship to its being landed at Portsmouth, which was one hour. The regiment of in valids was ordered under arms before 8, and, being joined by a company of the train at Portsmouth, marched from the parade there to the bottom of the Point to receive the remains. At nine the body was landed and put into a hearse, attended by a mourn ing coach (both sent from London), and proceeded through the garrison. The colours on the fort were struck half flag-staff; the bells were muffled, and rung in solvmn concert withthe march; minute guns were fired on the platform, from the entrance of the corpse to the close of the procession ; the company of the train led the van, with their arms reversed ; the corpse followed, and the invalid regiment fol lowed the hearse, their arms reversed. They con ducted the body to the Landport gates, where the train opened to the right and left, and the hearse proceeded through them on the way to London. Although there were many thousands of people as sembled on this occasion, not the least disturbance happened ; nothing was to be heard but murmur ing broken accents in praise of the dead hero. On the 20th, at night, his remains were deposited in the burial-place belonging to his family, at Green wich. A noble monument was afterwards erected for him in Westminster Abbey, on the front of which is the following inscription : " To the Memory of JAMES WOLFE, Major-General and Commander-in-Chief .if the British Land Farces, On an expedition against Quebec ; Who, after surmounting by ability and valour All obstacles of art and nature, Was slain in the moment of victory On the 13th of September, 1759, The King and Parliament of Great Britain Dedicate this monument." Perhaps in these days of " centenaries," together with the opening of the " Victoria Bridge in Canada" and the " Departure of the Great Eastern," you may deem the above quotation of some interest to the public.

Ts-day's market was well supplied with beasts as to numbers, but their general quality was inferior. Prime breeds were in moderate request at Monday's currency, but inferior beasts were very dull, and almost nominal in price. Primo sheep were scarce, and in fair request on former terms ; otherwise the mutton trade was heavy at barely late rates. We have to report a dull inquiry for calves, the supply of which was moderate, at about Monday's decline in value. Pigs realised previous rates, but milch cows were very dull.

LITERATURE. A Guide to the Coast of Sussex. A Guide to the Coasts of Hants and Dorset. A Guide to the Coasts of Devon and Cornwall. A Guide to the Coast of Kent. By Mackenzie Walcott, M.A., author of " Cathe drals of England and Wales," &c. Stanford, Charing-cross. The great, practical convenience of small pocket guides to the tourist and traveller has long been generally acknowledged, and those before us be long to the best of their class., They describe the scenery, give the historical, legendary, and archeo logical 'associations, a list of the rides, walks, and places for excursions in the neighbourhood of all the chief town& and •principal localities along the coast. The motto has been happily selected from no less an authority than Bacon—" If you will have a man to put his travel into a little room, and in a short time to gather much, let him carry with him some card or book describing the country where he travelleth. which will be a good key to his in quiry." The value of this advice does no discredit to the sound sense of the philosopher, as a tourist, unacquainted with the place he visits, may have the mortification of discovering, on his return home, that he has overlooked places of historical note, or beautiful scenery, accessible by an easy walk or drive. The volume& before us form part of a series of hand books which are designed to illustrate the more southern coast of England, from the Reculvers to the Land's End. The writer confesses that he has undertaken the ambitious task of persuading his readers that their own country has superior attrac tions for them than the continent possesses, since as he asserts, many wander, ignorant of foreign lan guages, and unfamiliar with the history of the places visited. Those who do not fully appreciate the advantages of their own country will do well to provide themselves with these little handbooks, which are sufficiently attractive to tempt the idler from his domicile, and will materially assist the more active and adventurous traveller. GLOUCESTER MUSICAL FESTIVAL. GLOUCESTER, WEDNESDAY. For three consecutive hours the bells of St. Mary, the crypt church, rang a muffled peal last evening, by way of prelude to the first secular concert of the festival—rather a lugubrious welcome for the visi tors, The occasion was the funeral of a veteran musician and banker of Gloucester, Thos. Turner, Esq., who at the ripe age of VT has just been gathered to his fathers. Mr. Turner was an ardent supporter of these meetings, and his presence was looked for as regularly as the festivals came round. He was in a manner a perennial steward, and his venerable person is much missed. The weather continued last night most uninviting, but neverthe less the attendance at the concert was fully an average one for a first evening. The following was the programme: — PART I. Overture and selection from "Don Giovanni" Mozart. Aria, Signor Belletti, " Madamina" Duet, Madame Clara Novello and "Signor Vialetti, " La ci derem" Aria, Signor Giuglini, "Il mio tesoro" Trio, Mdlle.

Duet, Madame Titiens and Signor Giuglini, " Parigi o cara" (Traviata) Quartet, Mrs. Clare Hepworth, Miss Dolby, Mr. Montem Smith, and Mr. Thomas, " May Song" Song, Mr. Thomas, " J'm a roamer" Mendelssohn. Quartet, Madame Clara Novello, Miss Dolby, Mr. Sims Reeves, and Signor Belletti, "L'Aspo" (Martha) God save the Queen. The vroFramme, although not a very lengthy ono, nor inordinately extended by encores, was s'hortened of its fair proportions by the omission of three pieces for which Mr. Sims Reeves had been set down, viz., the air "Through the forests," from Der Freischutz ; a duet with Clara Novelle, from Rigoletto ; and a quartett by Flotow. His absence caused great disappointment, and no explanation being given to the audience, a cry was raised for the absentee, on which Mr. Dent, high sheriff, and one of the stewards, ascended the orchestra, and an nounced that Mr. Reeves had written to express his regret that he was unable to appear in his place in consequence of a severe cold. This, however, did not appear to satisfy the audience, who refused to hear any other of the performers until Mr. Dent again appeared and read the letter itself, in which the first tenor said he had hoped when he left him to be able to sing that night, but that the wet journey had increased his cold, and he regretted his inability to appear in public that night, but hoped to be sufficiently recovered to sing next morn ing. This was received with hisses and disappro bation, but the audience appeared reconciled, and that there was no help for the disappointment, though some of them had travelled out of South Wales entirely to hear him. The selection from "Don Giovanni," which formed the first part of the concert, was a well chosen one, consisting of the choicest morceaux of that great masterpiece. The first noticeable feature was the duet " La ci darem," by Madame Clara Novello and Signor Vialetti, which was immediately followed by the delightful air, " Il mio tesore," by Signor Giuglini, in which his brilliant upper notes told with astounding effect, although in the lighter and more florid passages he lacked power and purity of intonation. This is his first appearance at Gloucester for some years, and perhaps he hardly sustained the favourable impression which he created here in the first instance ; never theless he was encored. The trio, "Ah tace," introduced to the Gloucester people the prima donna of the evening concerts, Mdlle. Titiens, and the primo basso, Belletti. The sensation created by the lady among the dilettanti was great, though perhaps hardly equal to the merits of an artiste who bids fair to be a worthy successor to Grisi. The " Batti, batti," by Madame Novello, was per fect, and was enthusiastically encored, but the lady declined to repeat it. Signor Badiali's artistic de livery of the rattling air, "Fin ch'han dal vino," took his audience by storm, and drew down an unanimous encore. In the air, "Non me dir," Mdlle. Titiens ravished her audience, who appeared now more fully to appreciate the talent and won derful gifts of the fair cantatrice. The concluding sestet of the Mozart selection, " Sola ' sola," brought together " all the talents" of the Italian Opera, besides Madame Novello and Miss Dolby. Beeth oven's choral fantasia followed the selection, and introduced to notice a youthful pianiste, Miss Cecilia Summerhayes, who, under the tutelage of her patron saint, has accomplished wonderful things on her stubborn instrument. The task was, however, too great for so young an aspirant, but she acquit ted herself in a highly creditable manner. The beautiful composition had also full justice done to it by the choral body. The second part of the concert having been cur tailed by the absence of Mr. Sims Reeves, the prin cipal noticeable features in it were the English songs—Miss Dolby's pathetic delivery of Duggan's ballad, "When the music is still," which greatly pleased, and Mr. Thomas's song " I'm a roamer." This was capitally rendered, but the accompani ments were too loud, so that the voice was barely distinguishable in the lower parts at the end of the room. The concert was brought to a close with the National Anthem at eleven o'clock, and about one half of the company remained for two or three hours longer to participate in the dances which always follow the first concert at Gloucester. This morning, although the weather was still cold, there was no rain, and the doors of the cathe dral were besieged nearly an hour before the time appointed for opening them. The attraction this morning was Mendelssohn's masterpiece—" Elijah," which, as was anticipated, drew a large attendance. The floor of the nave was again very quickly filled, as also were the e• isles, the gallery being more than theee .parts full. The oratorio commenced punc tually at half-past eleven, and a great feature in it we; that, with the exception of the usual interval of twenty minutes, there was no break in the whole performance. It has been customary to encore some of the principal airs, such as the tenor song, " If with all your hearts," and the contralto " Oh, rest in the Lord." The trio, "Lift thine eyes," has always had a sort of pre scriptive• right to an encore, but in this morn ing's performance the continuity of dramatic interest in the oratorio was unbroken. This is an example of good faith which we could wish to see more generally followed. Usually it has been the custom for the bishop, the dean, or the chair man of the stewards to rise in his seat after one of these morceaux and signal to the conductor to re peat it, but to their credit be it said, the officials, both lay and clerical, allowed of no interruption to the steady progress of the oratorio, which was al- together one of the most finished performances of the great composition perhaps ever accomplished. Trineipals and chorus were all. thoroughly up to their work, there was no noticeable hitch from be ginning to end, and the result was, as already stated, a most satisfactory finish. After the open ing recitative and overture the first chorus of Israelites, " Help, Lord," was delivered with a power and feeling which attested the efficiency of the choral body. The appearance in the prchestra of Sims Reeves gave satisfaction to many of his admirers who had feared lest he should have been unable to take his important share in the oratorio. Whatever may have been. the extent of sickness under which he laboured last night; it is certain that he had quite recovered. His first song, "If with all your hearts," fully attested this, and he was equally effective in " Then shall the." righteous shine forth." The double quartett, " Lift thine Eyes," was done ample justice xo by Mme. Novello, Mrs. Hepworth, Miss Dolby, Miss Lasceiles, Mr. Montem Smith, Mr. Hunt (of the Cathedral choir), Mr. Thomas, and Signor Belletti. In the recitative, "Now Cherib's brook," Miss Dolby's delivery of the words, " And the barrel of meal," to the end, " The Lord sendeth rain upon the earth," was most impressive. Then followed the great Novello—the prop of the orato rios at these festivals—who rendered the recitative of the widow, " Help me, man of God," in the most dramatic style. Belletti declaimed the prayer, "Turn unto her," better than any fot:eigner ever gave it before him ; but still, with all his acknow ledged talent,.he wants the English feeling which Weiss gives- to this . and the rest of the. Prophet music. Belletti's reading, however, was very care ful, and the paisages between the widow and " The prophet of the Lord " were given with won derful effect, so that the rising of the widow's son was pictured to the mind's eye through the other senses by the wonderful power of musical description, as conceived by the corn. poser and carried out by the talent of the ar tists to v:ilom was entrusted their interpretation. The ielicions quartett, "Cast thy burden," was mowed by want of the bass part, which was allotted to Belletti, who did not seem aware of this at first. His enunciation of the spirit-stirring air, " Is not his word like a fire," was fine, but wanted the fire which we have been wont to see infused 'into it. Miss Lascelles had little to do in the oratorio, but this little was done well. Her " Woe, woe unto them who forsake him," was chastely rendered. In the duet between the youth and the prophet, "Go up now, child," Mrs .Clare Hepivorth sang her part correctly; and the concluding chorus of the first part, " Thanks be to God," was sung amidst an ill timed but very general moveamongst the audience, who although they had only been sitting an hour and a half, appeared over-anxious for luncheon. The opening air in the second part, ".Hear ye, Israel," was delivered by Clara Novello with all her old ravishment, and the succeeding chorus," Be not afraid," was grand in the extreme. Miss Dolby was highly effective in her delivery of the queen's de nunciation, " The gods do so to me ; ' and the answer of the people, "He shall perish," with the succeeding chorus, " Woe to him," were highly dramatic. The angelic trio, " Lift thine eyes," was perfect in the hands of Ma dame Novello, Mrs. Hepworth, and Miss Dolby, the three voices blending together in di vine harmony ; nor was the e ff ect marred by . . the repetition - of the trio according to common cus• torn, but ,was followed without intermission by the next chorus, .‘ We watching over Israel." Miss Dolby sang the lovely air, " 0 rest in the Lord," in , that perfect good taste which is peculiar to her, and in a voice to which there is no equal. In the quartet, and chorus " Holy, holy," the magnificent voice of Novello pealed out above the rest like a clarion. This was a most impressive performance, and evidently told upon the audience, who remained standing while it was being ,sung. In the chorus descriptive of the prophet's ascent to heaven, the ascent was musically and faithfully depicted; and the concluding words, "He went by a whirlwind to heaven." were ovepowering. Of the choruses generally we may speak in unqualified terms of praise. We may especially ,cite the Baal choruses, and the choruses descriptive of the rushing of the "mighty wind," the appearances of the sea, the. earthquake, and the fire, with the beautifully plac:!d passages coming in immediate contrast, "And after the fire came a. still small voice." In fine, the performance was one of the grandest and most perfect we have ever listened to, and gave unqualifid satisfaction to all who had the privilege of hearing it. The collection at the doors in aid of the charity amounted to £157 lls. 11d. The sum received yesterday included the munificent gift of 150 by J. C. Dent, high sheriff of the county. ELECTION INTELLIGENCE. SOUTH SHROPSHIRE. Yesterday the vacancy in this division, occasioned by the death of the Hon. Robert Windsor Clive, was filled by the election of Sir Baldwin Leighton, who was returned unopposed. The proceedings took place at Church Siretton. The usual preliminaries having been observed, The HIGH SHERIFF (Mr. C. 0. C. Pemberton) called upon any one who had a candidate to pro pose to do so. Mr. R. BURTON, of Longner, proposed Sir B. Leighton as a fit and proper person to represent the Southern Division of Salop in Parliament. (Loud cheers.) Sir C. ROUSE BROUGHTON said he seconded the nomination of Sir Baldwin in the full belief that, in the words of the address he had issued to the electors, he was " a thorough Conservative." Some little doubt having been expressed upon that point by certain electors in hi? (Sir Charles's) hearing, he felt it to be his duty to lay some stress upon it, be cause he knew that no other than a Conservative would fitly represent the views of the constituency in Parliament. (Applause.) It was satisfactory to think that Sir B ildwin was a thorough Conserva tive, for they all highly valued those public exer tions of his extending over many years, and which had resulted to the great advantage of the county. He was sure it was the earnest wish of all that Sir Baldwin Leighton should prove as good a member of Parliament as the one he had succeeded. The electors would send him to Parliament unpledged and unshackled, hoping that he would use his best exertions to serve his country in the difficult pro blems of domestic as well as foreign policy, which the unsettled state of our representative system at home and the complicated state of European poli tics demanded. Judging by Sir Baldwin's antece dents, if they were any criterion for the future, he, could not but congratulate the electors on the choice they were about to make. (Great cheering.) No other candidate being proposed, the HIGH SHERIFF declared Sir Baldwin Leighton duly elected. The new member, then, amid great cheer ing, was invested with the sword and cocked hat. Sir i ßALDwist LEIGHTON, in returning thanks for the honour done him, expressed his warm obliga tions to his prOposer and seconder for the kind terms in which they had spoken of him. With regard to what Sir Charles Rouse Broughton had said about his being sent to Parliament unfettered, he certainly pledged himself to do the best in his power to pro mote the interests of those who sent him to Parlia ment. It was desirable that his opinions on two or three matters of policy should be known. In the first place, there was a good deal of anxiety as to the intentions of our neighbours across the Channel with regard to this country. Many people thought that the French would like to return the visit which our soldiers paid to Paris some years ago. He con sidered it was most desirable that the defences of this country should be placed in as efficient a state as possible, and he thought our fleet should be so powerful as to prevent any attempt at invasion tak ing place. (Great cheering.) But, if ever the enemy succeeded in landing here, his forces should be able to penetrate but a short distance. To use a phrase perhaps more common than classical, we ought to ." put our trust in Providence, and keep our powder dry." (Cheers.) He would now allude to Parlia mentary Reform—a subject which had caused the defeat of more Ministries than one, and which be fore it was finally settled would probably cause the defeat of others. A lmost every person bad a differ ent opinion with regard to refo rm . For his part he thought that agricultural districts should return agricultural members, and that manufacturing towns should return those who more especially re presented those interests. He thought, for instance, that he would but imperfebtly represent Birming ham, and he also thought a Birmingham man would inadequately represent Shropshire. An advertise. ment had appeared in the newspapers inquiring if he would support the ballot. It struck him that the advocates of the ballot ought to go further, and see if members of Parliament ought not to vote in the House of Commons by ballot. The " screw," as it was called, might sometimes be put on elec tors, but did not constituencies sometimes insist upon their representatives voting a certain way, very much against their consciences If the bal lot were established in the House of Commons, it might happen that many who now openly voted in such a way as enabled them to keep their places, might vote in a different manner. He very much regretted that coercion was ever used with electors; for himself he could sincerely say that it would never make any difference in his conduct to a ten ant whether that tenant voted for or against his wishes. Sir Baldwin having again thanked the electors for the confidence they had placed in him, proposed a vote of thanks to the High Sheriff for his conduct that day. This was seconded by Mr. BURTON, carried, and duly acknowledged. T HI HiD EDIT I ON. SEW OFFICE, Seven o' Clock. DONCASTER RACES.-(THIS DAY). Qui Vive ... [BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.] ZETIAND STAKES.

The Bombay papers received by the last mail report a case of female infanticide, attended with circumstances of such peculiar atrocity that it becemeS our painful duty to give it a pla.ee in these columns. A woman named Muckty, a Marathi Hindoo, deposed before , a coroner's inquest that she was a widow cohabiting with a Purdesee name& Gungaram Chittoo. On the 29th July, on her way to a wool warehouse where she was daily employed, she stopped. at the house of Suckoo, a midwife, the door of which was opened to her by Gunnoo Narayan, a lad standing in the yerandah, and evidently stationed there to keep away all ab noxious intruders. Entering the house she ob served, as well as the darkness of the room would . permit, a woman lying on a mat; and on the point , of beino• delivered, " Having obtained some water to drink the witness wished to proceed to her work, but was told by Suckoo to sit down and stay where she was. Whether through inti midation or a womanly love Of gossip she did as she was desired, and about three in the afternoon the Rukma, Suckoo theng at took u p to a r a m z f o e r m ; a a l n e ch ild. a sickT monste r woman, hav ing first deliberately cut off the left arm of the new born babe at the shoulder-blade, severed- the head from thetrunk. This horrible crime was perpetrated in silence, which was only broken When Seckoo told the wretched mother 'f pot to cry out,' 9 for she " appeared to be in great pain." The marks of blood on the mat were next removed by ashes being sprinkled over thern, and the remains of the mur dered infant were placed in a basket and covered over with a" cloth. The door was then opened, and Gunnoo walked ;.n. ."Is it done ?" he asked. " Yes," replied Suckoo ; and she gave him the basket, which he carried away with him, merely remarking, " I'll take it to a room in my house which is empty." , This Gunnoo, it may be here stated, has no occupation, but lives on the wages of his sister's infamy. The witness further deposed that she was so frightened at what she had seen that she did 'not mention a word on the subject to anyone until the police officer went to her house. Govind Suttoo was next examined, and stated that Gunnoo Narayan lived' with him, and had desired him on the day' above named to prepare dinner for five or six persons. In the early part of the day Gunnoo drank freely, and became partially intoxicated, and a little after three came in from the street with a basket on his arm, covered with a blood-stained cloth. The guests soon after assembled. There were present the two women Suckoo and Muckty, Gunnoo, Dowluttia, an intimate friend, and Krishna Dunajee, the barber from whom the razor had been purchased. The dinner occupied two or three hours, for a good deal of liquor was drank, and finally Gunnoo became quarrelsome, and accused the witness of stealing some pots. A row ensued and the police interfered. On his way to the station-house Govind told the officer what he had seen, and the remains of the child were accord ingly dug up in a room on the ground floor. A verdict of wilful murder was of course returned against Suckoo as the principal, and against Rukma and Gunnoo as " being feloniously pre sent aiding and assisting." Strangely enough, nothing is said about the woman Muckty, who was also present both at the murder and at the subse quent debauch. The crime was clearly premedi dated, and was perpetrated with a r.old-blooded de termination that could only proceed from an utter disregard of human life. There is little doubt that all the persons present at the orgie were cognisant of the circumstances, but not one of them would ever have given notice to the police had it not been for the drunken trawl between Gunnoo and Govind. Truly a pleasant picture of civilisation, and not to be matched in the very worst purlieus of London. The mild Hindoo appears in his true colours, Capable of any atrocity, and steeled against the natural feelings of humanity.—Allen's Indian Mali. THE LATE EMPEROR OF MOROCCO. The following biographical sketch of the late Emperor of Morocco is by the Pays :—" Mulev Abder Rahman was born in November, 1778, ana was consequently 81 years of age. He was only sixteen when his father died, but his uncle, Mulei- Soleiman, seized the throne, and occupied it until 1822, when he died, and the nephew succeeded. Mulei-Soleiman was so dreadfully cruel that he in vented tortures never before heard of. Amongst other things he was accustomed on getting on his horse to pull a pistol from his holster and blow out the brains of the slave who had held the bridle. He was accustomed also at times to take a number of poor wretches, and have walls built around them up to their heads ; then he had their heads and faces covered with honey to attract flies and other insects, and he took pleast.re in witnessing the torture which the unfortunate men endured. Muley Abder Rahman did not imitate this monster, and conse quently acquired a reputation for humanity. He was possessed of political talent, and was able to neutralise, one against the other, the hostile factions of his empire. In his old age ho was often engaged in disputes with France and other Euro pean Powers. He perfectly understood the neces sity of reducing to subjection the insurgent tribes of his empire who caused these conflicts ; but he considered himself too old to undertake such a task. Muley Abder Rahman had 17 children. The eldest of his sons and his successor, Sidi Mohamed, was born in 1803, and is consequently 56 years of age. He is of an energetic character. Several of the governors of provinces are his enemies, and some large tribes on the west are hostile to him, so that he will have great difficulties.to encounter in ascend ing the throne. Five years ago he went on a pil grimage to Mecca and Medina, and his eldest son, by his orders, is now making a pilgrimage to those holy places. An aunt of the present Emperor, who enjoyed a great reputation for sanctity, died last year in returning from Mecca, and was buried in the mosque at Djeddah." STATE OF TRADE. LEICESTER, Sept. 1 4.—There is still a good busi ness doing in most branches of hosiery goods of a useful character, and th e d eman d gener ally is very active. This buoyancy in the market has continued for some time, and r future n-i prospects are encourag ing. All the f ramewor k ktters are fully engaged, at remunerative wages. The hosiery trade at Loughborough and Hinckley is in a h ealth y state. Wools continue high, the spinners are well em ployed, and yarns are selling at full prices. NOTTINGHAM, Sept.l4.—The lace trade continues quiet, and business this week is not more active than last ; indeed, in some branches there is hardly so much doing. The home demand is languid, and orders for shipment do not come in fast. Plain articles continue principally in request. There has been a falling off in muslins and cotton lases. The silk lace trade is -without material change. In the hosiery trade the demand for most kinds of fancy goods continues ; in these articles (suitable both for the present and forthcoming quarter) a good busi ness is expected to be done ; orders already received are numerous. The Americans have been giving orders for the spring ; and, altogether, trade is in a satisfactory state. Stocks are light, and the opera tives are fully employed. The yarn market con tinues firm. EDINBURGH UNIVERSITY.—At e meeting of the Town Council, at Edinburgh, on Tuesday, was resolved to dept Sir David Brewster to the chair of Principal of the University, vacant by the death of the late Principal Lee.
