a to )e e ' Of' 4 0 iD e6 10 Di ll4 i . teo THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris journals of yesterday The PRINCE PRESIDENT left, Lyons for Grenoble at eight o'clock in the morning of the 21st. He re ceived at his departure as at his arrival, and as during his stay, striking marks of the affection of the Lyons people. Everywhere on his passage, and as far as the limits of the department, the PRINCE was saluted by accla matione of " Vive l'Empereur !" Notwithstanding the rain which fell at the time, an enormous crowd was collected to bid him adieu. The PRINCE made his entry into the department of the Isere at a quarter past nine in the midst of an immense concourse of the population. The principal authorities, the President of the Ccuncil• General, the deputies, and the mayor of Vienne, and the old soldiers of the grand army, received him at Sr. Priest, in front of a magnificent triumphal arch, which marked the limit of the department. The mast ener getic cries of " Vive l'Eenpereur !" greeted him on his passage. Everywhere, at S Laurent-de-Mure, La Verpilliere, La Greve, nd Bourgein, the PRINCE was received with the liveliest enthusiasm. There is an article in the Presse on the subject of the decree which has appeared in the Monitenr, raising the duty on Belge;n coal. This journal ex presses regret at the difference that has arisen between the two countries, and anticipates immediate reprisals on the part of the Belgian Government. Belgium, it says, must be the greater sufferer of the two, as she has exported to France annually products to the amount of 177 millions of francs, whereas Prance exports to Belgium only to the amount of 134 millions; but on the other hand the exports of French Wines and other products for Belgium were annually increasing, and this branch of French commerce will now be materially checked. An article appears in the Pays on the death of the Duke of WELLINGTON, remarkable as manifesting a better spirit than that which was exhibited in a former article. The Pays says:— "England has lost, in the person of the Duke of Wel lington, a great captain and a great citizen. It is for her to render homage to his memory, and we honour, even in its exaggeration, that national sentiment which inspires in our neighbours that unanimity of re• gret and praises with which it surrounds the yet open tomb of this illustrious man. In leaving to his country the care of pronouncing hie panegyric, and to history that of appreciating the eminent qualities which distinguished him as a war rior, we shall only call to mind a merit of that illustrious and long career, which is perhaps less known, and point Out the salutary influence which the Duke of Wellington exercised in the councils of his country with regard to its foreign relations. That veteran of battle-fields ap preciated better than any one the advantages of a con ciliatory and pacific policy, and we only render him jus tice in saying that he showed himself OR every occa sion the decided partisan of everything that could Maintain and consolidate good relations between France and England. The French Embassy was accustomed to find in him the most courteous behaviour, and he never ceased to use the considerable influence Which he exercised over the decisions of his Govern ment and over public opinion, in order to remove any causes of dissent which might arise between the two countries. Endowed with an eminently just and Upright mind, the Duke of Wellington judged of the acts of the 2d December as history itself will judge of them ; and in his unshakeable good sense, he has never hesitated to admit, and loudly proclaim, in Louis Napo leon, the saviour of European order, as well as of French society. He lately deferred his departure from London it , order to go to the French Embassy, and join in the celebrati on of our fete of the 15th August, and he was heard to express his regret that it had not fallen to him to propose the health of the Prince President. The duke of Wellington, from a conscientious feeling, has raised himself above his own souvenirs. Atter having been the opponent of the Emperor, he knew how to ad 'nit in his heir one of those necessary men whose mis- Ilion it would be as impossible to dispute as it would be impolitic to shackle." We have alluded (says Galignani) to a statement i n the Cologne Gazette pretending to be an account of a report presented by a commission to the Germanic Diet on the means which it would have to resist Prance in the event of a war. In the notice that we gave of this statement we observed that the Cologne Gazette furnished us with no authority for attaching Credit to it. The Presse comments upon it rather seriously, but at the same time points out more than sufficient inaccuracies and inconsistencies to create doubts of the authenticity of every part of the state- Inent. The Cologne Gazette, for instance, makes the federal commissioners state that the French army is at this moment 500,000 strong, whereas it has been officially stated by General MAGNAN at 400,000, and also makes them underrate considerably the force of the Germanic Diet. The commission having, ac cording to the Cologne Gazette, recommended an augmentation of the army in Germany, the Presse expresses a hope that this will not prevent the French Government from reducing its own army, for, in the opinion of the Presse, war is impossible, and the groundless fears of one State driving it to a fool ish expenditure is no reason why another should fol low the example. It recommends the French Go vernment to take a very different course, and expresses a belief that the example of reduction would be ge nerally followed. It says, " The nation which should first enter in this course would, at the same time that it should give a proof of its confidence in the future, acquire so many elements of progress and prosperity that other nations, on pain of declining, would imme diately conform to the new state of things which that nation had had the glory of proclaiming. We are desirous of this glory for France?' Without falling i nto the amiable dreams of the Peace Society, one can not but desire that the experiment recommended by the Presse should be tried within safe and reason able limits. There is something alarming, one might al most say absurd, and it would be thou g ht absurd if nations were more enlightened, in devoting all the re sources obtained by peace to preparations for war. Y A a different course how many burthens would be r educed and at the same time how much would be O btained by Governments from th e natural resources of their States, even when these burthens had been r e educed for i n t e r n al improvements, for t he encou ragement of industry and the rewa rd of art. For , 7s, what is necessary ? A corresponding reduction armies and fleets, still leaving to each State its : Ill ative force, whereas now every country adds to its n ational d e bt b y i ncrea sed expenditure, and keeps up _e alarm which paralyzes industry and deters men f rra those useful enterprises which can only be un dertaken under the gu arantee of a lasting peace. we l: e ne Bours e was not so animated as during the last 10, 0 !' .

HOLLAND. OPENING OF THE LEGISLATIVE SESSION OF THE STATES GENEIt AL. The legislative session of 1852 , 53 was opened on the 20th by the KING in person. At noon the mem bers of both Chambers ussembled in the ball of the Second Chamber, when the Chevalier A. PEILIPSE called 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 the sitting of the combined Chambers, then ap pointed a commission of 18 members to receive and reconduct his MAJESTY on his arrival and departure. At oneo'clock the Ministers and Council of State entered the hall. A few moments after the arrival of his MAJESTY was announced, the KING entered the chamber, accompanied by his Royal Highness Prince HENRY. On ascending the throne his MAJESTY pro nounced the following speech : " G EN TLEMEN,- " At the opening of the present session of the States Genera], 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 ments. " I hava been enabled by various treaties to consoli date and extend the international relations between this state and other countries. _ _ " I have much pleasure in being able again to give a favourable report of our naval and military forces. "In the transmarine possessions of our kingdom, order and tranquillity prevail. At Palembang, in the island of Sumatra, the disorders have been repressed. " The favourable prospects relative to the harvest in the colonies have been completely realized. "The results of the sales made during the present year have been particularly favourable. "On the invitation of a friendly Power, and in fol lowing out the track which was commenced in 1844, I have promised my good offices is favour of an attempt to obtain modifications in the system of exclusion hitherto maintained by the empire of Japan. " The execution of the provincial and communal laws has made considerable progress in general. I have cause to rejoice at an efficacious co-operation of the pro vincial 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 more energy and success. I witness with much interest the growing development of the spirit of enterprise among our people in agriculture, trade, and commerce, as well as in the multiplication of the modes of con veyance. " The measures adopted by my Government tend to encourage and strengthen their development. " The works for uniting our kingdom with the neigh bouring states by means of railways and electric tele graph communication are prepared, and on the point of execution. " Navigation and maritime constructions have been equally 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 teat 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 E ession, 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 God! " I 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, Mt .. - EDNESDAY 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 used both engines on the voyage home, which has 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, 242 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 had 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 24th 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 t he y have ruled for some time. Governor Barkly was at Berbice. In St. Lucia the weather was remarkably fin e , but the island was unhealthy, and fever had broken out, causing considerable 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. ller 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. Ryan'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. This 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 w ere the Bishops of Western N e w York and Maryland, who 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 dist inguiahed warrior and states man. 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 WIIITSTABLE.--WHITSTABLE, WED..

BALNIORAL, SEPT. 21. A heavy fall of snow, followed by rain, which con tinued all day, prevented he'r 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 Hohenlohe 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 yesterday at the Home-office. THE THURSDAY SPORTING NOTES. No. CCCXIII. ANALYSIS OF THE CESAREWITCH HANDICAP. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR,-The Cesarewitch Stakes sprang into existence 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 Cesarewitch then announcing that be would, in commemoration of his sojourn at New market, give 300 sews. annually to be run for there. This was the start of the great handl. cap, which was won the first year by Lord Hit town's celebrated Cruiskeen, then five years old, with the feather weight, for that age, of 6st 6 1 b up. 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, currying 6st 1 lib. In 1842 Arcanus, 3 yrs, sst 41b, was the victor. In 1843, Cor retina, 4 yrs, 7st 111 b, did the like. In 1844, Faugh-a- B illagb, 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. Th e o ther winners stand as follow:-1846 , Wits-en d , 3 yrs, Est 21b; 1847, Caroush, 4 yts, 7st; 1848, The Cur ' 6 yrs, Bst 31b; 1849, Legerdemain, 3 yrs, sst 7 tb; 1850, Glauca, 4 yrs, 7sl 71b; and last year Mrs. Taft, 6 yr., 6st. It will be seen by the foregoing that the six years old division ld ol d only carried this pl ate off twice; the fi ve years only once; the four y ears old five times, an d.the juveniles five times also. It we are to take this as any 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 Grand Duke Cesare witch bas discontinued his annual gift; the three hun dred is now added from the Jockey Club fund, and is more than made up fron t the hundred and fifty-four entrance fees of two sovs, each; so that the club is an actual gainer of eight pounds. This stake is a free handicap (or what is termed such) of 25 soya, each, 15 ft, with 300 added, Cesarewitch course-two miles one furlon g and 215 yar ds -with penalties for winning various stakes, which will affect Lady Evelyn and Kingston to the extent of 6113 s each for their victories at Doncaster. Out of the hundred and fifty-four entries, the owners of fifty-two have declared themselves satisfied with the treatment their animals h ave received at the handi capper's hand; and, in the ordinary co urse of things, as there is no probability of there being any very great favourite, a good field may b e l ooked for at t h e post. DILLY'S L OT numbers four, namely, Cariboo, Ariosto, Frantic, and Knight of the Shire. Cenutoo's running of late wou ld have entitled him to some consideration, but for t h e fact that the Knight of the Shire se ems t o appropriate all the attentions of the stable for this race. ARIOBTO, 4 yrs, Bst, is weighted a little too heavily. FRANTIC, 3 yrs, 7st 81b, they say is not capable of conceding two stone to the Knight of the Shire, The KNIGHT o r THE SHIRE, 3 yrs, sst 81b, made a; e .. - first appearance this year at Ascot, where, carrying 6 st 91b to Ephesus, 4 yrs, Est 121 b, for the Royal Hunt Cup . On the Friday following, carry i ng Tat 41b, he ran a very so-so sixth to Tophana, t , st, f o r th e G rea t Western Plate. His next essay was at ,he ran nowh ere Goodwood, where, With Est 21b up, he ran a good fif t h to Kilmeney, 6'st 131 b, for the Chesterfield C op, Cup. w h e His n, W l i a t s h t com pletely beaten off. With the exception of the Great Western Plate-which is run over the Swinley spateriftairhmuapn,ce he was was for the course, about a mile and a half-the other races were short distances ; It is said that this so n of Sir Hercules and mile and under. Splitvote is much better ad a pt e d to a long course, such a as the Cesarewitch, than a short one. Giving Mr. Payne and the other members of e stable due credit for their judgment in the m a t ter, I cannot help thinking, without they have got good grounds to go upon;that,the Knight's chance, considering hi s previous performances, th is any thing but a rosy one, although weighted so very lightly; but as the stable is in luck, end the members by no means persons who throw away their cash, I shall hold their representative in some little respect. TOM DAWSON'S LOT is a strong one, consisting of no less than seven; to wit -Russborough, Stilton, colt by Melbourne out of Sally Warfoot, Galvanism, Lindrick, the Bit of Blue, and Lerrywhent. 111:188BOROUGH, 5 yrs, Bst 61b, if in his three-years old form-which I believe he is not, nor is ever likely to be again-is not evervveighted. STILTON, 3 yrs, 7st 131 b, has no chance whatever. Upon what grounds he was handicapped at. Ist 131 b I cannot ima gine; they would seem to be Vying t o m a ke us believe that he was only llb inferior to Taugh-a-Ballagh when he did the trick,with Bst,whereas heuever was within 101bs of that horse's form in the autumn of 1844. The colt by Melbourne, out of Sally Waifoot, 3 yrs, Est 91b, may be set aside without any consideration, his day not having yet arrived. GALVANIB3I, 3 yet, Est 61b, I know not what to make of, but believ e her to be inferior to Lind rick. LINDRICK, 3 yrs, sst Ill), I have some reason to believe will be Dawson's horst on the day. He is not badly bred, being by Trueboy dant by Actaeon, out of c m a a r d ry e in h g is 6s Beatrice, go o d bl oo d on bothides for a distance.

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 ba filled. Here is the list of appointments which became known last night : Comm — ander•in-Chief Lord Ilardinge. Master-General of Ordnance (with Lord Fitzroy a peerage) Military S, cretary Lord Warden of the Cinque Ports Earl De.‘rhy. Constable of the Tower Colonelcy of the Grenadier Guards Prince Albert. Colonelcy of the Fusileer Z Prince George of Guards j Cambridge. _ _ The Duke 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 WELLINGTON. WALMEA, WEDNESDAY Evnisrma.—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 Walmer 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 be 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. UNIVERSITY INTELLIGENCE. THE VACANT CHANCELLORSHIP. OXFORD, WEDNESDAY.--.MUCh dissatisfaction has been excited among resident M.A.'s, by the move in favour of Lord 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 are being taken to ascertain whether the sense of the electors will permit another candidate to be started with a prospect of success. ADELHHI THEATRE—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 Reekie," situated in Broughton-street, at the head of Leith-walk— " wisely," we say, because 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 respects, was really admi rable while, in regard to the scenery, the 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 Buckatone, the provin cial taumourist 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, in fact, as in fun) diabolically delightful, and his per petual assurances through the grin, and the rags, and the v agabondism, "My pr ec i ous b rot h er— l' ll never leave you," being about a s p a i n f u ll y del i c i ous 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 f or a roar—and the- sort of goblin dance perfor me d b y the cadger in the Cornflower Inn, at, the village of Heath field, was a genuine " screamer, ' such as pr ove d M r. Webb to be a "droll" of unconscionable merit. Mr. Verner, as Chrystal Baxter the Ostler, a l t h ough 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 Rascaldom. 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 interesti ng 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 performing a dramatic version o f " Waverley," followed by Gomersal as Bill Down e y , in The Unfinished Gentleman. THE BRITISH MUSEUM.—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 the gilding 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 between the railings and the building a number of labourers are employed in the formation of a square, either side of which is protected by a stone wall, which is stated to be for a shrubbery. Some alterations have taken place among the galleries. The slabs from Assyria, which were in an underground room, are being assorted in galleries adjoining the Lycean gallery, called the "central edifice Nimroud," "the north-west edifice Nimroud," and the "south-west edifice Nimroud." The statues and other relics in the gal lery in the lett room from the grand entrance are being re moved. LONDON AND NORTH...WESTERN RAILWAY..--T eg . terday morning a portion of the Victoria Tunnel, which runs under Byron-street, Liverpool, gave way, and fell in to the extent of about three feet.

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. Undine, 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 fl ow ing 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 cluding till after dark. The Valentine gallantly main tained her lead, and won by a quarter of an h our . Th e Julia was second , about six minutes ahead of the Al batross. CHESTER REGATTA. This regatta took place on the Dee on Tuesday, with great eclat. 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 bad not come off. A Match for 31. between pair-oared boats. Nymph (W. Crewe, W. Chadwick) ...

This position they maintained the rest of the distance, win ning in a very excellent and well-contested race by a length and a half. The Ladies' Purse of 31. for fishermen's pair -oared boats, to be rowed by women. If th ree start, second to receive 103. 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 sovs. with 20 sovs., was com 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 '2OO sovs., between the Bess cele brated Jackey and the mare Bess, to trot tea took and kept the lead for the first eight miles, when n ut eight passed her, but was again re-passed.

FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY. 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 imposed 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 Hsrdinge is Ito be Commander- iu-Chief, the public will feel that so far the conclusions arrived at in Balmoral Castle are very much the same as those we have come to in this metropolis, at a distance of 500 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 increered 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 th e Legislature. As it happens, we h ave all as aired One articular office to Parliament at the No vember session, and the unity our anticipations have imparted to the Legislature from with out our being entirely conscious of it, restricted the proceedings of that month has, lion, perhaps, - u* will appear that thepublic was not other duty. on this On Every bodypreo-incot.nsidera desired, a n d Houses of Parliamento indeed took for granted, that both f F s ould attend the funeral. Every body also was aware that before the nth of will be no Parliament at cbazevsort of difficulty, in the fact allember; we believe, there Houses, or Members of Houses, but simply a number of numb er of noblemen with a certain dormant privile ge , however,letook on and a repre sentatives elect. Few, if anyb o d y, themselves to say, in the absence of Queen and her principal adviser, how this difficulty Was to be surmounted; how the funeral was t o be attended both Houses, when there was no H ouse at all by whether, supposing all objections t o be waived,ned would suit the convenience of 300 noblemen and 65 6 commoners to be called up from the country a fort., night, perhaps, before the meeting of Parliament. Candour compels us to - say that really we do not see how the difficulty 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 w h en an d upon w hat que s tion they think proper, even before the solemn ceremony impendicg ; and that the responsibility of the act will fall en 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 solemn occasion. Till then all that remains of him whom kings as well as people delighted to honour will continue at Weimer, 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 today 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 great soldier; we mourn him not or a hero of Waterloo, or the victor of a so d n. fi a g s h t t h s e . The nation thinks not of its triumphs, glory eternally associated with its name, by his lost son. The uppermost febeulitngi means who now is gone ; mournsin t hev n eh o hni nor mt t o r : teas : o h; most men, at this moment,to affirm, is rather that of efflictio we they might feel for a departed relative SuC ci t e l a ti r S friend ; or of an old familiar face whom t o h r ey a oan hardly spare; of one who has left a place th can never be sup plied ; of one, i - 11 short, whoabecome associated with all our plans and designs .

The triumph and ofcelebratiohnat the House of Lords for a Londoner will not a markedwatch and energetic countenance sight of that dever be seen too often. The which he felt could gnmost prized reward—the living soldier has lost ha t silenced envy whence it once was word of bitn ou t h sands who have received more sub uttered. proofs Thousands of kindness mourn their benefactor; stantial the Duke was as a public man, much as and g reat 1 pride was wrapped up in him, much as nationa we our the ardonable feeling that, as m ight indulge In - his unpretending features, we beheld we gazed upon a man even then, this nineteenth century, and in his lifetime, associated in military renown with the great e st conquerors of Greece and Rome—with names that had become great lights in history—yet it is not this loss which is now the;uppermost feeling of our hearts, but one of a more tender and more personal kind. Whilst nothing, then, can be more true than her Majesty's remark, through the Premier, that we cannot name him who is departed "without pride and sorrow," we feel that the sorrow is more pre valent than the pride. Those who have spoken of our de parted hero in neigbouring nations have been a • nxlous to weigh his merits and contrast them with his op ponents. We have cared not for thi s ; are too much occupied with our loss to think of weighing the amount of it or instiuting comparisons. The services he has rendered are only so many occasions for more poignant regret; and jut i n 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 stir 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 honour, yet pride, honour, and respect are forgotten in the prevalence of it better Bud a deeper feeling. Rarely has it been the lot of a hero, and one so great a the late Duke of Wellington, who has overshadowed the earth with his glories, to be gathered to his rest, not so much with eulogies on his great deeds, nor 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 rivalry, whilst in the great lustre of 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 were striving to win a place before the eyes of their fellow-men by any means, however 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 pursuit of this prine ciple on all occasions which made him what he was; it was the steady adherence to this, late and early, even against his apparent interests, which provi dentially (or rather, by the law of Providence) aided always in his exaltation. Never in any man ' s lif e has the truth been more strikingly displayed, that the surrender of his own will and his own aggrandise tri.nt to the calls of duty terminated in a greater mea sure of renown than could have been geicel 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 so much glory, to the same we also trace what glory does not 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 the love of a noble people. He chose the path which could not fail ; genius will cease to dazzle, eloquence will 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 com mander 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 his 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 feelings of their natures than when they could say either to their commander or their country, " Sir, I have done my wordsduty I n he ' fell. these H i A s ' o g r r d e s a the compeerf oug h t n lived , ad n w:t h al a s these ting i t n ha a n ll al h is lesso n o f th e s ame .; gathered fame, glory, but more , is o y ur ea l r o s v , e a , n b d ec th au ro se ugh h o e ut liv a ed ll u h p is to re t l h a i tn this truth of uth lif e.

Yet, in her anxiety that this decisioen should ritieh not only be in reality, but should also formally p pear to the world, the unanimous determination of ap pear Crown, the Parliament, and the commonalty, the e Queen has intimated her intention to ask the express co-operation of the Legislature in paying the last instalment of a cumulative debt to E ng _ land's first and greatest citizen. 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 douhr, that the voice of the two Cham bers will prove a faithful echo of the universal feel ing; nor can we feel tnat any narrow or captious ob jections will mar the worthy utterance of that spon taneous loyalty which flows from ell 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 puder ( t.jutit'a3 soror— Ineorrupta (Lies nurlt que veritas— Quando ullcm iiiviniPt parem." We can anticipate no exception to the unanimity of the national feeling; for the obsequies o f suc h a man as the Duke of 'ellington 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 wh o , i n death, as in lite, 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-countryinen 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 Thermopylm—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 le ss suggestive, in the barbarou s rites and the u n di vu l ged burial-place 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 th the superficial trammels of modern civilization, .an As a . generation it did in simpler and ruder times. the Camillus whose which has passed away gave to which the firmnessand • ' vigour saved end wealth, so is it the sub stantial rewards of dignity present age to display its Equally p' in duty of a n n a d me th o a f t loyali7. th e commonwealth the th t e of that unswerving integrity reverent acknowleda higher glory than even duty, which surround the not only as one who a Waterloo candegis „ -- i • of Assays, or cut the short rolled the Napoleon,thu- or served the State with wise career of disinterested council in times of emergency, that and voice of England pronounces for regal the unan imous 'his burial—it is rather because the Duke I Wellington whit nof is honours at g ton was one of those " representative d "lin- will point the lesson of wen " whose memory t. . ll ' d energy and patient con 'nuance unwearie • The feelings, whether social or religious, doing. w hich characterize the present day, are such as do not repel, but rather exalt and refine, men's appreciati on of an heroic life ; and there is happily no blot upon the career which has now closed to impair or detract from the highest form which that appreciation can assume. The light which Christianity sheds upon the solemn acts of a nation is one from which the Pageant of a public funeral will borrow, in this case, additional lustre. The Duke of Wellington was a Christian as well as a soldier ; and there is no feeling generated by the review of his long career which may not accompany him to his grave in a Christian t e mple. Her Majesiy has decided that the most fitting place where the ashes of the great Commander can rest is under that canopy "where Glory weeps o'er Nelson's shrine ;" and the national heart will respond to this decision. Both as regards the facili ties which our metropolitan Cathedral offers for the ceremonial, and the associations which are already connected with it, its fitness to enshrine the mortal remains of the Great Duke is above all question ; and there is something in the coinpaeative solitude of the spot, as contrasted with IVestminster Abbey, which comm en d s itself to the universal feeling. Standing at that joint sepulchre, where will repose the two captains—diverse in character, distinct in sphere, s eparated nearly ha lf a century in their deaths, yet one i n th e i r a bidi ng sense of duty—our posterity will say-- " And ne'er held ma rble in its trust Of two such wo ndrous men the dust." , P labourer E— em- ployed the remova Iyde-park, met pofl TuesdayoAtvhecedcrbiezsaoll morning is nor A sgi T t Fah eomTxtr man named Henderson, nni OLDtdeioed John rnsb( building l CRYSTALaaßinndrgoCo.,Nv in with a serious accident by the slipping of one of the large cast-iron girders.

No burglary had been committed on the premises; and the goods were not missed by the proprietor till such time as the announcement of their discoyery appeared ih the public prints.—Zdiburit Witntii.
