We say advisedly, remembered as necessary, if awful, events—and the crop that but for the support which the free. trade measures of fame he reaped from his battle-fields was as stainless of Sir Robert Peel received from the Duke of Wellington, es the waving grain that now grows on the plains of those measures would not have been carried.

And shallow talkers think this an evidence of in consistency or they point to it as a proof of the Duke of Wellington's selfish desire to appropriate power. The `nobler, and we believe the truer, view—the reconciling I and the mellowing estimate—is to believe that, in all such cases, Arthur Wellesley saw but plain intelligible; duty. If the University of Oxford deemed him likely WI be a good and useful Chancellor, ho accepted the o(fice, because it was, or because he thought it was, hi s d u t y . So with his Premiership —so with his various offices and; commands, subordinate or paramount. He would have; defended London against the Chartists, or have taken an Affghan command, or have mustered the Kentish Fen.P cibles, or have bored through the drudgery and foppery t of the Trinity Board, or have presided at an uncongenial Oxford Enccenia—or, if nobody else had been ready, he would have sailed in the Channel fleet, or have become a Poor-law Guardian—all on the same simple, if uninquir- , ing, principle of duty. He fought the Spanish cam- , paigns, not because he had confidence in Down ing-street or in his commissariat, or in his , recruits or allies, but because it was his definite personal work. He went to the Chapel Royal in the' grey morning, because he knew it to be right; mad he was present at every levee—and was ever the earlieet'e and the foremost at every ceremonial and pageant, atn drawing-room, and at opera and wedding—because it f 4 'was expected of him, and he thought it his duty not to ( disappoint legitimate expectation. In others, this apii 'parent love of the monstrari digito would have easily de generated into the common-place passion for distinction; . 'bat in the Duke of Wellington it was sustained by a highg and elevating principle. The Duke was above vulgar] van ity. One who recognises duty in minute particulars, and who answers all calls, however trifling or onerous, on that true-hearted, sell devoting sense of duty, must obviously make himself prominent, and fill the public e ye. And never did he fill it too largely. Never were chose grey hairs unwelcome to any assemblage of Eng kishmee. Never was that stately presence, even when ;overcast by the shadow of toil and anxiety, seen in `public, but it was cheered as that of our common f r i end. and councillor, and defender. Can those who witnessed l it ever f o rget his ovation at the opening o f th e G reat l Exhibition? And it is no small praise to recollect that, to flattery as to misunderstanding, his iron character was alike invulnerable. Such solidity and singleness of aim in the Duke of Wellington were eminently happy in securing popular appreciation. If the Duke did not win the lower and • the common feeling of love, he commanded the very highest universal respect and reverence. The character we have attempted to analyze, so rigorous and large in' its own appreciation of personal calls for exertion until work, was not likely to be other than imperious and ex act in demanding duty from others. A worker will ad mit no standard of excellence but work. H e can sym pathise with but a single order of character—but that the' out generous. A disciplinarian does not attract th e , m mere affections. The Duke was too inflexible, too severe, too exacting, to be, in the vulgar sense, popular. Thel conqueror of Napoleon could afford to move in a some what solitary sphere. And, as years did their inevitable work, and gnarled what was always angular in the Dnke )f Wellington's mental and moral conformation, the 3ritish public had the good sense and the good feeling to go below the surface, and to view that great inner heart of the true man beating and animated with patriot ism, and, ben ea th th e i ce of character, to detect th e fi res of genuine and self-sacrificing principle. A nation's tears will bedew the hearse of Wellington, even though not from the same causes which poured them on that of Nelson. The Great Duke—the Iron Duke—was not the man to feel, nor to call oat mere sensibility. But he will be appreciated. His fame is a ;rowing one. The Hero of Waterloo had neither the ', plendid weaknesses nor the warm emotional spirit of the Hero of Trafalgar. But the Duke's is a higher, a more complete, and a nobler character. If less amiable, tt possesses the consistent, cohesive, solid elements on which philosophy and history will delight to dwell. For some years the Duke of Wellington's influence has sur lived as a great tradition—he has lived as the witness of a memorable, if imperfect, past, Now that he has actually been removed, we may, perhaps, have occasion to, judge of the actual power and influence of ais presence, wh en i t i s fi na ll y ta k en away .

Yet, to repel evil, the sword and the name of Arthur will, we trust, ever prevail, in the Se nate which he dignified with his wisdom, and in the IState which his military skill preserved in the very crisis l lof its fate, even when i ts great owner s l eeps i n Avalon. Be this as it may, let us conclude with words of good ,omen—in a sentiment which we are assured will be that of the whole British nation: Peace to the memory, and blessi ngs on t h e name, of Arthur, Duke of Wel lington. ;:-1I He was a Conservati ve by i n stinct and habit, ra tha l than theor e ti ca lly or specu l at i ve ly a C onservat i ve poli ricien. Theorising re ga rding mankind was not his torte. - He was not a thi n k er p ro p er , so much as a man of ac tion, and he ac t e d i n p o litics, from the instinct of _ " holding fast by the good,"—(or what he believed good) ' —hilt with regard t o p o litical changes, he disliked them ; rather instinctively a s c hanges, than from insight into , ;heir u l t i mate tendencies an d s ignificance. However, military life had ear ly b r ought him into contact with • feet, and he nce w h en c h anges became inevitable, no man 1 more decisively co nce d e d to them. His invaluable intel . ' tectual sincerity ma d e hi m se e, what dances could not ice, and kna ves wou ld no t se e, to have become part and , parcel of the life of E ng l a nd. Hence, he knew when to , concede —and co nce d e d, w hen the time was right and ,j ;,,, rho concession honourable. He bowed to Catholic Emancipation, a n d Reform, and Free Trade; and it . would, indeed, b e a pity, and something worse, to - confound this gre a t man, with such " Tories"—as t the knot of shufil?rs and dull ar ds, impostors and quacks, 1 who are now allowed to play at governing the country. 1 ,-, The comparison between the Duke and the great Sir I,Robert holds with remarkable force when we consider the nature of the political creed with which each entered upon public life, and the mental power which each pos i sesaed to correct and modify his creed. Each of thew remarkable men had the faculty of reading the great book of the present, and marking accurately where new phases of moral and political life were on the point of appearing. Each recognised the fact that the world is not a dull mechanism to be explained by some few rigid formula), and to be kept eternally dependent upon the revolution of the same wheel:'. Each recognised a prin cipal of growth in the world, a necessity for develop- ' oaent. Each was prepared to adapt himself to the change which the fulness of life in the world determined and ;brought forth. Sir Robert probably, and the Duke . certainly, would have preferred the old Tory adjust , went. Both would very possibly have been content at one time to wind up the old machine, and provide ' for its easy working, by a little oiling of the parts. Both however, saw clearly when the old mechanism must'' / lgive place to a new form of life.

With his removal from amongst us wo have this , ~olace—no one could desire that he should occupy ai lipace in such lines as those which tell us how "From Marlborough's eyes the tears of dotage flow; And Swift expires a driveller and a show." All the service which one man, during a long public life, could render to his Sovereign and his country, the Duke of Wellington had rendered. Nothing remained hut a peaceful death, which has now closed the mostl ,important life which any man of modern times has been] !permitted to spend. It w as p ecu li ar l y an E ng li s h li te —l !the life of an English soldi er an d sta t esman. A brie flcontrast with that of his mi g hty r i va l i n arms w ill ex -' 'plain our meaning. The governing principle in the career of Napoleon Bonaparte was that of selfish ambition. Tho greater warrior, who at last subdued and bound him, owned a ,higher motive. Duty was the guiding star of his career. His ambition was to serve, net himself, but his country Land his Sovereign. Naturally a grateful nation so knowledged his services; but there is not a trace of sor klid self-seeking in the whole of the D u k e o f W e lli ng t on ' s [history. _. rept ~, cven had Sir Robert Peel never proposed the extine don of the bread monopoly, no reflecting person will deny ; but that the duties on the people's tood would not have been remitted, when Sir Robert Peel in .rodueed his measure with that view in 1846, had it not been for the zealous support of the Duke of Wellington, is a point about which there lean be no doubt. As it was, the measure was only car - Iried by a small majority. Had the Duke been neutral, it would not have been carried at all. Had ho been ad verse, the second reading would have been rejected by a Large majority. It is due, therefore, to the memory of Lhe illustrious man who has just been snatched away from an admiring country, that the fact should be known—that but for him Sir Robert Peel would have :ailed in his efforts to carry his free-trade measures. In thus rapidly glancing at the political career, as well as the military character of him whose loss the country has been so suddenly and unexpectedly called to deplore, it would be an unpardonable o vers i ght were we to omit a reference to the exalted sen se o f duty by whichhe 5 was invariably inspired with regard to everything cot; 1 iaected with the public ser v i ce. Thera was no man the branch of the Legisl a t ure of which he was so br i g ht in ornament who was more regular in his attendance than the Duke.

That he did not ought rather to command our greater admiration. Twice controlled by the devices of !the tempter, he surrendered his own unerring judgment land consented to give up his own convictions, because he thought that duty commanded the sacrifice. In 1828, and in 1846 the same evil influence twice prevailed. He,l, !knew that Romish emancipation ought not to have !been granted, and that the corn-laws ought not to 'have been repealed. But the associate on whose aid he !most relied each time contrived to place him in such a. office, he sue position as to make it appear that duty required him) Ito surrender hi s own opinions. Thus, in 18461 !the Duke e x pl a i ne d to the House of Lords that hi s own, !opini on h a d b een , " Th a t it was desirable to a vo id mak-; ing any alteration which was essential in the pr esent t corn-laws."
