HOLLAND. OPENING OF THE LEGISLATIVE SESSION OF THE STATES GENERAL. The legislative session of 1852.53 was opened on the 20th by the KING in person. At noon the mem bers of both Chambers assembled iu the hall of the Si!cond Chamber, when the Chevalier A. PIIILIPSE celled upon the secretary of the First Chamber to read the Royal order which nominates the Chevalier President of the First Chamber for the legislative session of 1852.53. The President of the Assembly, charged to direct a:4e sitting of the combined Chambers, then ap pcinted a commission of 18 members to receive and re conduct his MAJESTY on his arrival and departure. At one o'clock the Ministers and Council of State entered the hail. A few moments after the arrival of his MAJESTY was announced, the KING entered the chamber, accompanied by his Royal Highness Prince Emu. On ascending the throne his MAJESTY pro nounced the following speech : " GENTLEMEN,— " At the opening of the present session of the States G.encral, I am again, to my great satisfaction, enabled to inform you of the prosperous state of the country. "The Netherlands continue to maintain perfect friendship with all foreign Powers. I receive constant marks of friendship and esteem from foreign Govern- mt .nts. I have been enabled by various treaties to consoli da, to and extend the international relations between this stile and other countries. " I have much pleasure in being able again to give a fwvourable report of our naval and military forces. "Iu the transmarino possessions of our kingdom, order and tranquillity prevail. At Palembang, in the is!. and of Sumatra, the disorders have been repressed. " The favourable prospects relative to the harvest in th , e colonies have been completely realized. " The results of the sales made during the present year ha ye been particularly favourable. '" On the invitation of a friendly Power, and in fol loi vieg out the track which was commenced in 1844, I ha ve promised my good offices in favour of an attempt to obtain modifications in the system of exclusion hitherto m aintained by the empire of Japan. ." The execution of the provincial and communal laws hens made considerable progress in general. I have cause to rejoice at an efficacious co-operation of the pro vilacial states and the communal administrations. ." Our dykes have been wholly exempt from disasters. This has enabled us to carry on the works of improve ment, particularly those on the principal rivers, with the me re energy and success. 1 witness with much interest thc , growing development of the spirit of enterprise am ong our people in agriculture, trade, and commerce, as Kell as in the multiplication of the modes of con ye yance. " The measures adopted by my Government tend to en courage and strengthen their development. " The works for uniting our kingdom with the neigh bouring states by means of railways and electric tele greeph communication are prepared, and on the point of execution. Navigation and maritime constructions have been eq sally prosperous this year. " The financial state of the country affords ample ground for satisfaction. The revenue of the preceding year was extremely satisfactory; that of the present year promises to be equally favourable. I hope that the general circumstances may permit me to submit to your consideration this session also an important project re lative to the national debt. " The projects of law, which were addressed to you on my part in the preceding session, and which have not received their solution, will be again presented to you with the others. " May our united efforts to accomplish the task that still awaits us be crowned by the blessing of Goci! " 1 declare the session of the States General to be opened." After delivering this speech his MAJESTY returned to the palace with the same ceremony. The combined sitting of the two Chambers then closed, and the assembly separated. An immense crowd was assembled to witness the Royal cortege. His MAJESTY was everywhere re ceived with the most enthusiastic acclamations. WEST INDIA and MEXICAN MAILS. SOUTHAMPTON, Yt ZEDNESDAY NIGHT. The Royal Mail steam-ship Parana, Captain Revett, has arrived off this port with the West India and Pacific mails, in charge of Lieutenant Bridges, R.N., Admiralty agent. The engines of the Parana were temporarily repaired at St. Thomas's, and she has has used both engines o n the vo y a g e home, wh occupied 19 days. She brings 52 passengers, among whom is Lieutenant -Governor Hamilton, from Bar badoes, and on freight specie value 1,497,000 dolls, 1, 942 serous of cochineal, and a large cargo. The new steam-ship La Plata, with the outward mails of the 17th of August, reached St. Thomas's in a little over 13 days. Accounts from Jamaica to the 29th ult. state that the greatest distress prevailed in all parts of the island. The public attention had been occupied with some disclosures relative to frauds on the colonial bank committed by a clerk, who had de camped from the island. Two English brigs had arrived at Jamaica to load with passengers for Australia. Alarming shocks of earthquakes bad been felt all over the island. There had been a few days' heavy rains, but the weather was oppressively warm ; business was very dull. Supplies of imported goods were quite ample to meet the re stricted demand ; produce was firm at better prices than last given. No new crop of pimento had been brought to market. Holders of sugar evinced more disposition to sell, and prices had fallen about 2s. per cwt., according to the most recent accounts. From British Guiana our dates are to the t24th ult. The weather was favourable for the planting interest, and the present will be the largest crop of sugar ever shipped from the colony. A slight advance in wages had taken place. Business was dull, shipping scarce, and freights higher than they have ruled for some time. Governor Barkly was at Berbice. In St. Lucia the weather was remarkably fine, but the island was unhealthy, and fever had broken out, causing considerab le mortality, particularly among the shipping. The troops in garrison remained healthy. Opinions varied as to the nature of the epidemic. The sugar crop was nearly all shipped. The total crop will exceed that of 1851 by about 400 hogsheads. There were a few cases of yellow fever at Barbadoes and Demerara. The Parana experienced a heavy gale with violent sea from the 14th to the 17th inst. Her Majesty's ship Alarm sailed from Antigua on the 21st ult. for St. John's, New Brunswick. The Persian was at Belize. The French war steamer Tartare left Demerara on the 24th of August for Cayenne. On the 7th inst. the Parana exchanged colours with the brig Vivid, from Demerara, bound to England; on the 18th with the English brig Conway, and on the 19th with the Washington, of Liverpool. PORTRAIT OF THE GREAT DUKE. Among the many portraits which have appeared of the Departed Hero, and several among them are of considerable merit, we know of none that can com pare with H. T. Ryall's engraving from M. Claudet's Daguerreotype, for which the illustrious original sat in 1844. The expression of the countenance in me ditative mood has been caught with a felicitous accuracy that is startling from its life-like reality, and it is in this peculiar excellence that the grand merit of the portrait lies, even more than in the perfection with which the features are delineated, and the high excellence of the engraving as a work of art. As Wellington was at the age of seventy-five, somewhat bowed by years , here we see the very man. Th a is speaking likeness of the warrior-statesman should be possessed by all who love to contemplate the venerable aspect of him who, when he lived, was the noblest and most loyal pillar of the British Throne — Arthur, the Great Duke of Wellington. ---- LIVERPOOL, WEDNESDAY. —The screw steam-ship City of Manchester, Commander Leitch, which sailed from Philadelphia on the 4th inst., arrived in the Mersey last night. She brought 157 passengers, and a large cargo. The United States' mail steam-ship Atlantic, Commander West, took her departure hence this afternoon with 112 passengers, a large cargo, and the usual mails. Among the passengers were the Bishops of Western New York and Maryland, whc have been spending some time in Liverpool. RESPECT TO THE MEMORY OF THE DUKE OF WELLINGTON. —The moment the news of the lamented and unexpected death of the Duke of Wellington had reached the city of Salisbury, every tradesman and citizen caused their shutters to be put up, in token of the grief which they felt at the loss of the distinguished warrior and states ' ma n. On Tuesday, notwithstanding the bustle of a large market, this ancient city wore all the appearance of deep gloom, and never since the death of the lamented Princess Charlotte was the loss of the illustrious dead more keenly or generally felt. The Nottingham Mercury terminated its career on Friday last, in the 27th year of its age. WRECK OFF WEITSTAB LE.—NVEITSTABLE , WED NESDAY MORNlNG.—Yesterday (Tuesday) morning, be tween seven and eight o'clock, a schooner, the Britannia, from Caen, bound fur Loudon, struck cn the Red Sand, off this place. She was discover ed b y the Whitstable hovillers, when the Sydney, Captain Nicholls, and the Prosperous, Captain Bell, w ith a b o ut twenty han ds on board, proceeded to her assistance. They found the vessel deserted by her the only living thi ng crew, who had been takenoff by a London steamer, and was made to get her off the sand, which was ultimately water, with a accomplished, afterlabour, shenearly full of on board was a dog. Every exertion great as WO strong north-westerly wind blowing and a Whit _ very rough sea. The vessel was then towe d into stable Bay, at where, a high water, the § O3 Wit 4 Nulling over her. COURT CIRCULAR. 4.LNIORAL, SETT. 21. A heavy fall of snow, followed by ra in, w hich con tinued all day, prevented her Majesty from leaving the Castle yesterday morning. In the afternoon her Majesty and his Royal High ness Prince Albert walked towards Castletown. Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent, her Serene Highness Princess Hohenlehe Langenbourg, and her Serene Highness Princess Adelaide of Hohen lobe Langenbourg dined with her Majesty yesterday. The Earl of Derby arrived at Knowsley-park, Lancashire, yesterday, from Perth. The Earl of Shaftesbury had an interview with Mr. Secretary Walpole yes,terday at the Home-office. THE NEW APPOINTMENTS. The question—" Who is to be Commander-in- Chief ?" has—it is now declared—been settled ; and at the same time we are made aware of the way in which the other important vacancies created by the death of the Duke of Wellington are to be filled. Here is the list of appointments which became known last night : C om mander-in. Chief Master-General of Ordnance (with Lord Fitzroy a peerage) Military St eretary Lord Warden of the Cinque Ports Earl Derby. Constable of the Tower Colonelcy of the Grenadier Guards Prince Albert. Colonelcy of the Fusilcer Prince George of Guards Cambridge. The Dulte of Northumberland and the Marquis of Londonderry to be Knights of the Garter. So runs the list of new arrangements, and they all look reasonable enough. Lord Fitzroy Somerset being senior in military standing to Lord Hardinge could not serve under him as military secretary, and he therefore goes to the Ordnance—but his removal from the Horse Guards will give rise to many regrets in military circles. Indeed, there is little doubt but the non-appointment of Lord Fitzroy Somerset to the dignified post now conferred on Lord Hardinge will cause some dissatisfaction amongst those best able in a professional sense to balance the claims of the two veterans. But we have, by the present arrangement, a practical soldier at the head of the army, and that at least satisfies one of the most important require ments of the case. The good sense of Prince Albert has evidently been allowed proper play, and he wisely contents himself with the Colonelcy of the Grenadiers instead of the control of the entire army. This change in the position of Lord Hardinge sug gests one very important question, which is this — When are we to have the Horse Guards and the Ordnance united ? In the evidence given before the Parliamentary Committee, appointed to inquire into our military system, an overwhelming weight of tes timony will be found in favour of assimilating these two branches of the service. Such a junction would be a vast improvement upon the present anomalons state of things, and would also be a great and wise economy. Since we are to have ex-Master General as General Commanding-in-Chief there surely could be no better opportunity for making the required amalgamation.—Daily News. THE DUKE OF WELLING-TON. WALMER, WEDNESDAY EVENING.—Last night his Grace the present Duke of Wellington returned to Walmer Castle from town. To-day the Duchess of Wellington and Lady Charles Wellesley and family quitted Walmor for town. The Duke and his brother, Lord Charles Wellesley, will not leave this place before to-morrow, in conse quence of their desire to see the last preparations for leaving their illustrious deceased parent at Walmer Cas tle. The outer, or state coffin, for the remains of the Duke, is expected to arrive by the last train to-night from London, and his sons intend to be present at the transfer of his remains to this coffin. The guard of honour, of the Rifle Brigade, which is to bo stationed at Walmer Castle to watch over the re mains of the Duke, will not be mounted till to-morrow, at ten o'clock. Sentry-boxes have been placed to-day at the various approaches to the interior of the Castle, leading to the chamber containing the body of the illus trious deceased. 0 V IN 5 UNIVERSITY INTELLIGENCE. THE VACANT CHANCELLORSHIP. OXFORD, WEDNESDAY, —Much dissatisfaction has been excited among resident M.A.'s, by the move in favour of Lurd Derby, and this dissatisfaction has not been dimi nished by the character of the names appended to the requisition which is to be presented to him. This feel ing extends to men of very different parties, and is irre spective of any personal preference for any other can didate. We understand that a protest against Lord Derby's nomination is being circulated for signature, while steps aro being taken to ascertain whether the sense of the electors will permit another candidate to be started with a prospect of success. ADELHIII T.HEATRE—EDINBURGH. Davenport is now " starring" it, to the admiration of her Majesty's lieges in the good old city of Edin burgh. He has wisely appeared, however, not at the Theatre Royal, opposite the Register house, at the south-east corner of Princes-street, almost imme diately under the shadow of Calton Hill, but at the beautiful little Adelphi of " Auld Ueekie," situated in Broughton-street, at the head of Leith-walk— " wisely,' we say, b e cause the latter house appears to be at this moment flourishing under a very judi cious and enterprising management. On Monday evening, the 20th instant, the domestic drama of Alice Gray; or, The Suspected One, was performed for the first time at the Adelphi of Edinburgh. The cast, in all essential eg ntia r lr a e r s d pec to respects, the es scenery, really the admi rable while , dresses, and the appointments, the piece would have done credit to almost any theatre in the British metropolis. Considering it was the " first night," the whole of the three acts may with the strictest accuracy be said to have gone off to ad miration. Several stars of lesser magnitude than the one already mentioned took part in the proceedings, Mr. Lloyd appearing as Jeremy Jenkinson from Norton Folgate—in which character, although he dis played little of that stolid facetiousness which would have provoked laughter through the vagaries of Wright, or of Keeley, or of Buckstone, the provin cial numourist seemed to walk the stage an accepted and decided favourite. Incomparably the best among the whole group of actors taking part in the melo drama was Mr. H. Webb as Cadger Collins—his make-up" being perfect, his grin (nearly as broad, ) diabolically delightful, and his per ipnetfuaat trlossiunrafnlinces through the grin, and the rags, and the vagabondism, "My precious brother—l'll never leave you," being about as painfully delicious in look, voice, and gesture, as though it were some affectionate vampire haunting the footsteps of the un lucky Jenkinson. Every leer was the signal for a roar—and the sort of goblin dance performed by the cadger in the Cornflower Inn, at the village of Heath field; was a genuine " screanaer," such as proved M r . Webb to be a "droll" of unconscionable merit. Mr. Verner, as Chrystal Ba xter the Ostler, althou g h somewhat exaggerated both in make-up and in man ner, was altogether a most sweet knave and a most excellent villain —bearing in his second dress, indeed, a strong family likeness to a gentleman not to be mentioned to ears polite, approving himself in fact a worthy disciple of our incomparable 0. Smith, that Prince of the land of It ascaldom. Mr. Wyndham, the lessee of the establishment, looked the very "pink of politeness," not only in the colour of his coat, but in all other particulars, in the person of Mr. Caleb Kit, the celebrated Professor of Dancing, Toxophical, and Calisthenic Exercises—acting almost as "hand somely" as he looked, and being spoilt only when reduced to a state of intoxication. His wife, although tutored to the part of the heroine by a " study" of a very few hours' notice, infused into the character of Alice Gray a great deal of pa thetic passion, though she did not look it as Mr. E. D. Lyon's looked the hero of the piece, the young village smith, Harry Hammerton. At the fall of the curtain the cadger—grin and all—was called before the footlights by acclamation. Davenport only ap peared subsequently in the Pictorial Drama, repre senting in a series of tableaux The Betting Boy's Career, a dramatic sketch pointing a moral, if not adorning a tale, that would be acceptable to the hu mane heart of George Cruikshank. The character— deplorably unworthy of him from its insignificance— assumed in this piece by Davenport is that of Rough Redland, an English rustic, a part interesting at least, inasmuch as it served to illustrate the versa tility of the accomplished American. At the larger theatre of Edinburgh—the one in Princes-street— the company (very inferior to the company at the Adelphi) are perfbrming a dramatic version of " W av erley," followed by Gomersal as Bill Downey, ' in The Unfinished Gentleman. TUE IJEITISU MUSLIM—The bronze railings in front of the British Museum, which have been several months in the course of erection, are at length completed. A few days ago t he g ildin g of the last rail was finished and the movable shed in which the workmen were placed while executing their work was removed. On the extensive area b e t w een the railings and the building a number of labourers are employed in th e formation of a square, either side of which is protected by a atone wall, which is stated to be for a shrubbery. Some alterations have taken place amongthe galleries. The slabs from Assyria, which were in a n underground room, are being assorted in galleries adjoining the Lycean gallery, called the "centra l edifice Nimroud," " the north-west edifice Nimroud," and the " south-west edifice Nimroud." The statues and other relics in the gal lery in the left room from the grand entrance are being re moved.

Sin.—The Cesarewitch Stakes sprang into exist ence in 1839: it was one of the immediate consequences of the visit of the heir to the Russian throne to this country, the Grand Duke Cesarewitcn then announcing that he would, in commemoration of his sojourn lit New market, give 300 sous. annually to be run for . there. This was the start of the great hand. cap, which was won the first year by Lord Mil town's celebrated Cruiskeen, then five years old, with the feather weight, for that age, of 6st 61b In 1840, Clarion, then four years old, carried it off with Bst 41b on his back. In 1841 Iliona (whose name) was rendered so notorious at the time by the numerous heavy bets on the correct pronunciation of it) then four years old, won cleverly, carrying Est 111 b. In 1842 Arcanus, 3 yrs, sst 41b. was the victor. In 1843, Cor ranna, 4 yrs, 7st 111 h, did the like. In 1844, Faugh.a - Bullagb, with the tremendous weight, for a three yrs old, of Bst up, did the trick cleverly; The Baron follow ing suit in 1845 with only 51b less. The other winners stand GS follow:-1846, Wits-end, 3 yrs, Gst 21b; 1847, Caromh, 4 yts, ist; 1848, The Cur, 6 yrs, Bst 31b; 1849, Legerdemain, 3 yrs, sst 71b; 1850, Glauea, 4 yrs, 7st 71h; and last year Mrs. Taft, 6 yrs, 6it. It will be seen by the foregoing that the six years old division have carried this plate off twice; the five years old only once; the four years old five times, and.the juveniles five times also. It we arc to take this us auy criterion to judge by, the three and four years old are the ages best suited to produce a winner. This is the second year that the Gr an d D u ke Cesare witch has_discontinued his annual gift; the three hun dred is now added from the Jockey Club fund, and is more than made up from the hundred a nd fifty-four entrance fees of two sous. each; so th a t th e c lub is an actual gainer of eight pounds. This stake is a free handicap (or what i s t erm ed such) of 25 EMS. each, 15 ft, with 300 added, Cesarewitch course—two miles one furlong an d 215 yar d s — w ith penalties for winning various stakes, which will affect Lady Evelyn and Kingston to the e x t ent of Gi b s eac h f c r their victories at Doncaster._ Oat of the hundred and fifty-four entries, the owners of fifty-two have declared themselves satisfied with the treatment their animals have received at t h e handi capper's hand; and, in the. there bei ng any ordinary co urse o f t hi ngs , as there is no probability of favourite, a good field may be looked f or at the post. DILLY'S LOT v e ry great numbers four, namely, Cariboo,,Ariosto, Frantic, and Kuight of the Shire. CARIB O S ) have entitled him to some consideration, but for the fact that the Knight of the Shiro seems to 8 runni ng appropriate all ,-. the attentions of the stable for this race. A R IOB TO, 4 yrs, Bst, is weighted a little too heavily. F RANTI C, of late would 3 yrs, 7st 81b, they say is not capable of conceding two stone to the Knight of the Shire. The RNIGHT OF THE SHIRE, 3 yrs, sst 81b, made his first ap pearance th i s year at Ascot, where, carrying Est 91b, he ran nowhere to Ephesus, 4 yrs, Est 121 b, for the Roy a l H unt Cup. On the Friday following, carrying 7st 41b, he ran a very so-so sixth to Tophana, 7st, for the Great Western Plate. His next essay was at Goodwood, w h ere, with Est 21b up, he ran a good fifth to Kilmeney, en for 131 b, the Stewards' Cup. His last performance was for the Chesterfield Cup, when, with sst 121 b up, h, was com pletely beaten of. With the exception of the Gr ea t Western Plate—which is run over the Swinley course, about a mile and a half—the other races were short distances ; a mile and under. It is said that this son of Sr Hercules Splitvote is much better adapted to a lon g nnnvse such as the Cesarewitch, than a short one. Gi ving Mr. Payne and the other members of the stabl e due credit for their judgment in the matter, I cannot h elp thinking, without they have got good grounds to go upon, that the Knight's chance, considering his previou s performa n ces, is any thing but a rosy one, although w e i ghted so very lightly; but as the stable is in luck, and th e members by no means persons who throw away thei r cash, I shall hold their representative in some little respect. TOM DAWSON'S LOT Blue, and Lerrywhent. IZUSSBOROU9II, 5 yrs, is a strong one, consisting of no less than se ven; to wit W R ar u fo ss o b t r G o u a g l v h a , n S i s ti m l n F i n o d l t r i b e y k , M t e h l e b o B u nt eofo ut of Sally 8 " 6 H), if in his three-years old form—which I believe he is not, nor is ever likely to be again—is not overweighted. STILTON, 3 yrs, 7st 131 b, has no chance whatever, Upon what grounds he was handicapped at 7st 131 b I cannot ima gine; they would seem to be trying to make us believe that he was only llb inferior to Faugh-a-Ballagh when he did the trickwith Bst, whereas he never was within 101bs of that horse's form in the autumn of 1844. The colt by Melbourne, out of, Sally W . arfoot, 3 yr s , f i st 91b, may be sot aside without any consideration, his day not having yet arrived. GALVANISM, 3 yrs, fist 61b, I k now not what to make of, but believe her to be inferior to Lind rick. LINDRICY, 3 yrs, sst I 11b, I have tome reason to believe will be Dawson's horse on the day. R e i s no t badly bred, being by Trueboy, dam by Actmon, out of Beatrice, good blood on both sides for a distance. He made his debut this year at Catterick Bridge, where, carrying Est 41b, he was a very bad fourth to Puritan, same age and weight, for the Speculation Plate, one mile and a half. At Durham he ran third in the first heat for the Maiden Plate, to Miss Flyaway, 4 yrs, Bst 21b, and was afterwards drawn . At Newcastle he was no where for the Corporation Plato, won by another horse in the same stable, Chief Justice. This race, of course, counts for nothing. His performances, hitherto exe crable, began to improve at Carlisle; where, carrying 4st 81b, he ran second to the Red Lion for the Cum berland Plate, two miles four hundred yards. He then walked over for the Lottery Stakes at the same meeting. At Lancaster, carrying sst he passed the rubicon by winning tho Cup by a neck, beating John of Berwick, 5 yrs; ist 31b ; Little Fawn, 4 yrs, Est 131 b ; Gholab Singh, 4 yrs, 7st, and four others, At the same place, with sst 131 b up, he was an indifferent fourth to Wilmont, 5 yrs, 6st 31b, for the Revival Handicap (two miles). At Notting ham, with 6st up, he won the Nottinghamshire Handi bap, two miles two furlongs, by half a neck, beating Lady Amyott, 3 yrs, 6st 11b, who had a head the ad vantage of Goldtinder, 4 yrs, 7st lolb; Ischia, 4 yrs, 6st 91b, and Colsterdale, 4 yrs, 7st 121 b, were fourth and fifth. At the same meeting, carrying 6st 71b, he was a very good fourth to Candlewick, 5 yrs, 6st 131 b, for the Chesterfield Handicap (one mile and a half). At Wolverhampton, with sst 91b up, he w as a moderate third to Weathergage, 3 yrs, 6st 51b. fur the Wolver hampton Stakes (above two miles and a quarter). His last performance was a ridiculous affair, having been started against Stockwell for the Great Yorkshire Stakes. I have entered at some length into t h e doings of this horse, on account of the important part ho is likely to play in the betting. If he i can give Lerrywhent h a lf a stone, ho s de cidedly a dangerous horse for this race.

PRINCE OF WALES YACHT CLUB. The fifth and last match of the summer amongst the yachts of this very popular club took place yesterday for a handsome cup, but owing to the lateness of the season no steam-boat was chartered to accompany the race: there were, however, a number of gentlemen's yachts out with the company. The following had been entered to contend: — Valentine, 8 tons, Mr. B. Wallis. Rebecca, 3 tons, Mr. W. Gibbs. Albatross, 7 tons, Mr. Barncastle. "(Incline, 5 tons, Mr. Cooper. Idas, 6 tons, Mr. Knibbs. Julia, 7 tons, Mr. Hutchinson. Britannia, 7 tons, Mr. Legg. The distance was from Blackwall to Gravesend and back, and Mr. Barncastle,`, the commodore, assisted by Mr. Gordon, the secretary, having seen the little fleet were all at their berths, the start was effected at a quar ter to twelve. There was a light wind from the west north-west, and they started on their course with a flowing sheet. The Julia had the lead, and held it down to Woolwich Point. where the Valentine passed per to the windward. The Julia, however, kept close in her wake, and rendered the match down very interest ing, but the Valentine arrived first at Gravesend, at about two o'clock, a minute and a half a head of the Julia, the Albatross and Britannia being close up. The wind was foul on the return, but there was so :little of it, that the affair grew very tedious, the race not con eluding till after dark. The Valentine gallantly main tained her lead, and wo n by .a quarter of an hour. The Julia was second, about six minutes ahead of the Al batross. CHESTER REGATTA. This regatta took place on the Dee on Tuesday, with great éclat. The day was on the whole fine, though, from the heavy rain which fell during the previous night, Deva's banks were too damp for the delicate feet of the fair Cestrians who usually attend these events. The gentry had provided sufficient amusement, so far as races were concerned, for the greatest lover of boating, there being about 20 races. The first took place at noon, and when the moon's beams began to illuminate the horizon the last had not come off. A Match for 31. between pair-oared boats. Nymph (W. Crewe, W. Chadwick) ...

The Ladies' Purse of 31. for fishermen's pair-oared boats, to be rowed by women. If three start, second to receive los. Won by the Cardinal. Several minor races were also decided. TROTTING RACES.—A number of trotting races took place on Tuesday, over the Liverpool course, at Aintree. The first, a sweepstakes of 5 soya. with 20 soya., was c oin . peted for by two horses. Little Pet got the first heat, and the second was won by Sir William, who the third time walked over the course. The most interesting event of the day, however, was a match for 200 sovs., between the cele brated Jackey and the mare Bess, to trot ten miles. Bess took and kept the lead for the first eight miles, when Jackey passed her, but was again re-passed. When about eight miles and a half had been run, Jackey again took the lead, was never headed, and after a beautiful drive, won by half a distance. A second sweeptakes, of less amount, was won by Little Pet, beating Wild H ero an d another; and this closed the sports of the day, a match for 50 sow. between 1)11 '. Lupton's chestnut pony, and Mr. Crosby's pony, to trot two miles, being withdrawn by mutual consent.

TIMES.—It is a great satisfaction to learn from Lord Derby's letter to the Home Secretary that the British people and their Sovereign are entirely agreed as to the duties irposed upon them by the lost they have just suffered. There is not a point on which the Queen has not anticipated or responded to the uni versal feeling. Her Majesty desires that the " tribute of gratitude and sorrow," which it now devolves on the nation to pay, " should be deprived of nothing which could invest it with a thoroughly national character ;" she desires that the two Houses of Par liament should have their share in the solemn act ; and " that the mortal remains of the late illustrious and venerated Commander-in-Chief should, at the public expense, and with all the solemnity due to the greatness of the occasion, be deposited in the Cathe dral Church of St. Paul, there to rest by the side of the greatest naval chief who ever reflected lustre on the annals of England." When to these an nouncements we have added that Lord Hardinge is to be Commander-in-Chief, the public will feel that so far the conclusions arrived at in Balmoral Castle are very much the sam e as th ose we hav e com e to in this metropolis, at a distance of 500 miles. The only point on which the Minister or the Court may seem at first sight to have somewhat outstripped the anticipations of the public, is the desire that the honours to be paid to the memory of the Great Duke " should not appear to emanate from the Crown alone, and the two Houses of Parliament should have an op portunity, by their previous sanction, of stamping the proposed ceremony with increased solemnity." Cer tainly the public, running possibly rather too much on the precedent of Nelsons funeral, was prepared to leave the authorization and arrangement of the ap proaching ceremony to the Crown, and, we may almost say, hardly dreamt of requiring the sanction of the L eg i s l ature. A s it h a ppens, we have all as signed one particular office to Parliament at the No vember session, and the unity our anticipations hare imparted to the proceedings . of that month has, with out our being will entirely conscious of it, restricted the Legislature from any other duty. On re-considera tion, perhaps, olli s quite rational, orlappear that the public was not even consistent on this point. Every body Houses of Parliament indeed desired, a n d Every body also was aware o; that before the 11th .November, took for granted, that both would attend the funeral. Every aiviember, we believe, will be no Parliament at e sort of difficulty, in the fact there of Houses, but simply a number—nn Houses, or Members a number of a certain dormant privilege, of noblemen with and repre sentatives elect. Few, if anybody, themselves to say, in the absence f however, r took on her principal adviser, how this difficulty Queen and surmounted; how the funeral was to besasws as to be both Houses, when there was no House at end i attended by whether, supposing all objections to be waived, dan,d, would suit the convenience of 300 noblemen and - 6 " commoners to be called up from the country a fort night,s- - before the meeting of Parliament. Candour compels us to say that really we do not see how the diffioulty is to be got over, except by defer ring the funeral till after the meeting of Parliament, and the most graceful and natural pretence for that arrangement would be the evident propriety of re ferring the ceremony itself to the sanction of the Legislature. So long a delay, though by no means at variance with the nationalfeeling on this occasion, will certainly have its inconveniences. We are not ac accustomed to let things, fully decided on, especially if they are of a solemn and painful character, hang over unnecessarily long. It is evident, too, that the funeral must now take place in the short days about the end of November, if not still later, and with the chances of the weather more against us every day. There is then the still greater difficulty, the uncom fortable clashing of the two duties which, as it appears, now devolve on the November session. A whole week will be consumed in swearing in members; then comes the address from the Throne, in which her Majesty will doubtless repeat the substance of the communication 'which appears in our columns this morning. What is to follow ? Is all political debate to be suspended till after the funeral, which may possibly be delayed tor two or three weeks ? Though the greater part of the preparations will, of course, be got over before the meeting of Parliament, a certain amount of them, we suppose, will be deferred till they can have the sanction of the Legislature, which will thus entail further loss of time. Previous to this event it was certainly quite competent to the Liberal party to try conclusions with Lord Derby on the first night of the session ; and those conclusions are far too important to be endangered for the gratifica tion of a sentiment, however noble in its nature, how ever deeply felt. The event has come under the Derby Administration, and, whatever éclat may at tend the funeral, they are welcome to it. If, too, they give Parliament the opportunity of complete co-ope ration, Parliament cannot quarrel about that. But we trust there exists no design of extracting a party profit from a national calamity. We trust that Lord Derby has no scheme for improving the occasion to spin out his tenure, to get another respite, and, perhaps, another chance. Everything ought to be quite clear on this point. An early day ought to be taken by the common consent of parties for the great constitutional question,—Who are to govern us ? And, if an early opportunity is not given, or likely to be given, then we must say that the Liberal party in the Commons will be perfectly justified in dividing the House when and upon what question they think proper, even before the solemn ceremony impending; and that the responsibility of the act will fall on the Government which made it unavoidable. HERALD.--It is the desire of the highest autho rity of the realm, as our readers are now aware, that the mortal remains of the late illustrious Commander in-Chief should rest by the side of Nelson, in the cathedral church of St. Paul's. But, in order to give a greater sanction to this wish, and to afford the nation an opportunity of paying its solemn tribute of love and veneration to its great hero, her Majesty will wait for the assembling of the two Houses of Parliament, and receive from them, as the representa tives of the nation, the formal approval of the course to be adopted on this great and sole mn occasion. Till then all that remains of him whom kings as well as people delighted to honour will continue at Walmer, guarded with such a tribute of respect as befits the ashes of a man at once so noble and so much beloved. In thus expressing, through the Prime Minister of the Crown, her grief for him, once the greatest of her subjects, and her resolve to show the sense which she placed upon his worth, her Majesty does no more than echo the voice of the whole nation. In her desire not to reward such worth—for that all feel can never be, but to recognise it in the most ample and the most solemn man ner, her Majesty's wish finds a response in the bosom of all her subjects, in the meanest as much as in the highest. She has touched a chord which vibrates in the heart of every Englishman ; and whilst the language of an official communication rises almost into the grief and the expression of personal sorrow and regret—whilst words find their way into the important manifesto (published yesterday and republished to-day in our columns) indicative of the deepest affliction, strangely at variance with the general tenor of such documents, we recognise the same feeling which pervades the nation at large. We mourn the Duke of Wellington, but we mourn him not so much as a great man or a great soldier; we mourn him not so much as the hero of Waterloo, or the victor of a hundred fights. The nation thinks not of its triumphs, nor of the glory eternally associated with its name, by his means who now is gone ; but mourns him as a lost son. The uppermost feeling in the hearts of most men, at this moment, we will venture to affirm, is rather that of affliction, such as they mi g ht feel for a departed relative or a dear friend or of an old familiar face whom they can hardly spare; of one who has left a place that can never be plied ; of one, in short, who has become associatedsup plied our plans and all our designs. whthe Duke say ?"—" Has the Duke spoken ?"—will be heard no more.

Those who have spoken of our de parted hero in neigbou rin g nations have been anxious to weigh his merits and contrast them with his op ponents. We have cared not for this ; we are too much occupied with our loss to think of weighing the amount of it or instituting comparisons. The services he has rendered are only so many occasions for snore poignant regret; and just in proportion as his merits occur to our memories do we find the more cause for grief This is, indeed, an unusual, perhaps the greatest proof of the hold which the Duke had taken upon the hearts of the nation. Great and sur passing as were his services to us, now that he is gone we think not so much of them as of him • , though his name can never be mentioned but with h onour , yet pride, honour, and respect are forgotten in the prevalence of a better and a deeper feeling. Rarely has it been the lot of a hero, and one so great a the late Duke of Wellington, who bee overshadowed the earth with his glories, to he gathered to his rest, not so much w ith eulogi e s on his gr ea t d ee d s , no r with a remembrance of the deliverances he has wrought, as with the sorrow of love and personal affection, Whilst far beyond all competition, all ex pectation of r i va l ry , w hil s t i n th e g r e at l us t re o f his actions he threw into the shade all other warlike ex ploits of his contemporaries, and seemed removed from them by an impassable distance. in his life he moved among us as one of ourselves, as modest as if his merits had been no more than ordinary. He has not taken our hearts by storm with his glory or his genius—he has not commanded our admiration by the scope of his powers or the fertility of his invention—he has crept into our hearts and fixed himself firmly there by a more modest, but a surer way—the path of duty. At the time when the world, long carried away by the morbid love of distinction, when men wore striving to win a place before the eyes of their fellow-men by any means, h owever erratic, there was the Duke bearing testimony to that truth in which the greatness of every one of us, and all collec tively, consists—duty. It was the pu rsu i t of this prin cip:,e on all occasions which made him what he was; it was the steady adherence to late and early, even against his epperent inteeests, which provi dentielly (or rather, by the law 01" Providence) aided always in his exaltation. Never Ls' any mae's life has the truth been more strikingly die ulayed, that the surrender of his own will and his ow II aggrandise ment to the calls of duty terminated in a I, ereater mea sure of renown than could have been gseensi had he carved out his own course for himself. But whilst to this constant and unpretending pursuit of , duty we trace the true causes which crowned him with se -much glory, to the same we also trace what glory does a 'ot al ways avail to buy—the heartfelt affection, lasting • and undiminished, of a great nation. It is for this that we loved him—it is this which never can fail to win t. he love of a noble people. He chose the path which con] si not fail ; genius will cease to dazzle, eloquence wile\ become tedious, military renown must abate with age; but the steady following of this truth—the great truth of his life—never can fail, never can cease to win and find its way to the hearts of all men. We doubt not the last words of that great naval coin mender have often more stirred the hearts of Englsh men to the bottom, and plunged into the very foun tain of their tears, than the most studied eloquence, or the most pathetic harangues. He knew well how to pierce the tender rind of the toughest heart when be gave as the battle-cry of Leis last en gagement, " England expects every man .to do his duty." He knew that there was nothing which could gather up all the best and noblest feedings of their natures than when they could say either to their commander or their country, " Sir, I have dome my duty !" In these words he fought, and with these words h. fell. His great compeer lived on, a la, sting lesson of the same ; gathered fame, glory, but La , ore Constitution than all, our love, because he lived up to this truth life. We expected it him, and he has done hi of e i v n er a y ll his years, and throughout all his relations )1 . duty. fidelity the harmon ordis d c i o s rd la ance wi o t f h CHR ONICLE—There are eras in the history of ion w hich p various powers which the e resistible and there is no test of the well-understood harmony more indisput able than the express' its turn to unite t o form the idea of the State ; fieoe. given by each in Th ;flier's letter which yesterday, announcing a elings of a nation. e Pre () ; Majesty's desire that the g pla t e o ared in our second edition. ,her rt the f Home Secretary , England holds the name grateful e ul reverence in wnica memory of sh Wellington should be testified by a public announces also that the pleasureo funeral, of theß rßritish is identical with the deep-felt sentiment t the Sovereign i.' people. Yet, in her anxiety that thi s decisi on should y not only be in reality, but should a l so formal] r pear to the world, the unanimous determination of 11 the ". Crown, the Parliament, and the com monalty, the Queen has intimated her intention to ask the e x p ress co-operation of the Legislature in paying the last instalment of a cumulative debt to Eng. land's first and greatest claim. It will be a subject of universal gratification that, whilst the initiative has been taken in this matter by the Head of the State, this expression of Royal sympathy is accompanied by evidences of a thoughtful regard for the one absorbing sentiment which pervades all classes of the people. The Prime Minister has been directed to express the Queen's solicitude " that this tribute of gratitude and sorrow should be deprived of nothing which could invest it with a thoroughly na tional character ; that such honours should not ap pear to emanate from the Crown alone, but that the two Houses of Parliament should have the opportu nity of associating themselves with her Majesty in paying honour to the memory of one whom no En glishman can name without pride or sorrow." It is impossible to doubt that the voice of the two Cham bers will prove a faithful echo of the universal feel ing; nor can we f2el that any narrow or captious ob jections will mar the worthy utterance of that spon taneous loyalty which flows from all hearts to the un tombed relics of a national benefactor. The Prime Minister might, indeed, have unhesitatingly assumed the responsibility of counselling the Sovereign, as the representative of the nation, to devise and order the fitting tribute towards the deliverer of his country— " Cui pudor et justitio soror— Incorrupta flies nudaquo veritas— Qaando ullum inveniet parem." ,Ve can anticipate no exception to the unanimity of the national feeling; for the obsequies of such a man as the Duke of Wellington are not to be mea sured by those ordinary rules which associate with the last trappings of mortality the silence of anguish and the shrinking of reserve. At all times, and by all nations, a distinction has been drawn between the sculpture of the private citizen and of those who, in death, as in life, are the representatives of a nation ality, a character, or a faith. No man reads the elo quent language which Pericles poured forth over the tombs of his fellow-countrymen who were slain on the field of battle—no man repeats the epitaph which sums up the worth and the actions of those who died at Marathon or Thermopyler —without owning to him self the necessity and the truthfulness of that distinc tion. There was something too, if less grand, yet not less earnest or less suggestive, in the barbarous rites and the undivulged burial-place which the Huns deemed the meed of their great chief, and in the solemn magnificence with which the dead Charle magne was left invested in his tomb. The common im pulse of humanity speaks with no less force from under the superficial trammels of modern civilization, than it did in simpler and ruder times. which has passed away gave to the firmness and vigour saved the commonwealth the sub stantial rewards of dignity and wealth, so is it the equally plain duty of the present age to displaY, l''' r an e na v md e r et ehnoa of Wellington acknowledgmentloyalfi delity o, of f d t e h t a y t u w n shwi which v A C s am a i g ll e u n s e w ra h t ot a Waterloo can give.
