(From the Morning Herald.) This morning Mr. Secretary Walpole has received the following letter from the Earl of Derby, dated Balmoral on Monday last, from which it will be seen by our readers that her Majesty has determined that a public funeral shall be accorded to the late illus trious Commander-in-Chief; that the funeral will not take place until the new Parliament shall assemble, in order that that Parliament may declare their wishes upon the subject ; and that the members of both Houses may have the opportunity of personally attending the solemn procession. It is her Majesty's wish that the mortal remains of the late Military Hero shall be deposited in St. Paul's'Cathedral, and be placed by the side of the late Admiral Lord Nelson, the greatest naval chief who ever reflected honour upon this country. Mr. Secretary Walpole, we understand, this morning, sent down an express telegraph message to Wahner Castle, that a guard of honour should im mediately be placed near the body of the illustrious Duke, which of course was immediately done, and where it will remain as guardians of the public trust until her Meljesty's further commands shall be made known upon the sulject. Through the obliging courtesy of Mr. Secretary Walpole we are enabled to publish to our readers a copy of the, deeply interesting letter, which the Earl of Derby, in obedience to the commands of her Ma jesty, has written relative to the funeral of the Duke of Wellington, expressive of the Queen's wishes upon the melancholy subject : " TO THE RIGHT HON. SPENCER IL WALPOLE, SECRE TART OF THE HOME DEPARTMENT. " BALMORAL, SEPT. 20, 1852. " Sir,—Her Majesty received with grief, on Thurs day last, the afflicting intelligence of the sudden death of the late Duke of Wellington. " Although the Queen could not for a moment doubt that the voice of the country would be unani mous upon the subject of the honours to be paid to the memory of the greatest man of the age, her Ma jesty considered it due to the feelings of his Grace's surviving relatives that no steps should be taken, even in his honour, without their approving concurrence; and, accordingly, in the same feelings, in obedience to her Majesty's commands, I wrote to Lord Charles Wellesley (the present Duke not having returned to England), to ascertain whether the late Duke had left any directions, or whether his family desired to express any wish on the subject ; and suggesting the course which appeared to her Majesty best cal culated to give expression to those feelings, in which the nation, as one man, will sympathise with her Majesty. "Having this day received letters from the present Duke and his brother, to the effect that the late Duke had left no directions on the subject, and placing themselves wholly in her Majesty's bands, I hasten to relieve the public anxiety by signifying to you, for general information, the commands which I have re ceived from her Majesty. " The great space which the name of the Duke of Wellington has filled in the history of the last fifty years—his brilliant achievements in the field—his high mental qualities—his long and faithful services to the Crown—his untiring devotion to the interests of his country—constitute claims upon the gratitude of the nation, which a public funeral, though it can not satisfy, at least may serve to recognise. " Her Majesty is well aware that, as in the case of Lord Nelson, she might, of her own authority, have given immediate orders for this public mark of vene ration for the memory of the illustrious Duke, and has no doubt but that Parliament and the country , would cordially have approved the step ; but her Ma jesty, anxious that this tribute of regard and sorrow should be deprived of nothing which could invest it will a thoroughly national character—anxious that the greatest possible number of her subjects should have an opportunity of joining it—and anxious, above all, that such honours should appear to emanate from the general will, and that the two Houses of Parlia ment should have an opportunity, by their approving sanction, of stamping the proposed ceremony with in creased solemnity, and of associating themselves with her Majesty in paying honour to the memory of one whom no Englishman can name without pride and sorrow. " The body of the Duke of Wellington will re main, therefore, with the concurrence of the family, under proper guardianship, at Weimer Castle, until the Qaeen shall have received the formal approval of Parliament to the course which it will be the duty of her Majesty's servants to submit to both Houses upon their re -assembling. As soon as possible after that approval shall have been obtained, it is her Ma jesty's wish, should no unforeseen impediment arise, 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 mournfulness of the occasion, be deposited at the Cathedral Church of St. Paul's, there to rest by the side of Nelson—the greatest Military by the side of the greatest Naval Chief who ever reflected lustre upon the annals of England. "I have the honour to be, Sir, " Your most obedient humble servant, "DERBY." LAST OFFICIAL ACT OF THE LATE DUKE OF WELLINGTON.—Iiis Urace's last official act of any importance, as Commander-in-Chief, at the War office, was the regulation of the uniform to be worn by the officers of the militia now in the course of en rolment. So anxious was the Duke for the early issue of these regulations, that on the Saturday pre vious to his lamented death a special messenger at tended at the Government printing-office to convey the proof for his Grace's revision and signature, so that the document might be at once forwarded to the lord-lieutenants of counties and acted on. PRINCE ALBERT'S LAST VI , IT TO THE DUKE.— On the occasion of her Majesty's recent visit to Bel. giuw, her squadron having anchored for one night in the Downs, his Royal Highness the Prince Consort proceeded from the royal yacht in a small boat to Weimer Castle, where the Noble Duke was then stay ing. The illustrious veteran appeared highly pleased with this mark of attention, and received Prince Albert with much cordiality. They had a lengthened conversation together, after which the Prince left the Castl© to join her Majesty in the Victoria and Albert. This meeting between those two distinguished per sonages, which was on the 17th of August, has proved to be the last. - COURT CIRCU LAR. BAL MOR AL , SEPT. 20. Her Mejesty and his Royal Highness Prince Albert attended Divine service yesterday in the parish church of Crathie. The service was performed by the Rev. Dr. Paul, one of her Majesty's chaplains in Scotland. The Viscountess Jocelyn, the Hon. Mary Seymour, the Earl of Derby, Colonel Hon. C. B. Phipps, and Lieut.-Colonel Hon. A. Gordon, were in attendance. Earl Fitzhardinge had an interview with Mr. Secretary Walpole yesterday, at the Home•office. The American Minister, Mrs. Abbott Lawrence, Colonel Lawrence, and Miss Lawrence, left town on Monday, on a visit to the Earl of Carlisle, at Castle Howard. HER MAJESTY'S SOJOURN IN THE NORTH. CRATIIIE, MONDAY. — On Saturday her Majest y made short excursio ns around the castle and by Crathie-bridge to the north side of the river. His Royal Highness Prince Albert went into Balmoral Forest, and was very successful, having killed three fine stags. The Royal Family rode out on ponies through the grounds and in the neighbourhood of the castle. Yesterday her Majesty, accompanied by Lord Derby and other members of the suite, again at tended Divine service in the parish church of Crathie. The Very Rev. Dr. Paul, of Tullynessie, one of her Majesty's chaplains for Scotland, officiated, and preached an eloquent discourse from Mark viii. 38. The audience (which, as usual, included several groups of strangers) was a large one. Yesterday afternoon her 3343esty and Prince Albert drove down by Abergeldie so far as " Craigousie," end at Corhie hail, where the royal vegetable garden is located, both alighted fr om th e carr i a ge, and conversed familiarly with the o ld gar d ener an d his wife, two p relics of th e last atriachal century, respected over the whole country side. Her Majesty and his Royal Hig hness returned to the castle e in the evening. ? WAS THE DU KE OF W EVER W OUNDED `WELLINGTON —ln Rush's Residence a t t h e Court o f London, " the fol lowing anecdote is rec or d e d : was " Until this occasion I under an impression that the Duke of Wellington never was wounded ; but Sir Ge3rge Walker said that not long aft er the storming of Badajos, he was struck' by a random musket ball in the side, in an affair with the French, on the bor ders of France..- It was merely a slight wound and was dressed on the spot. The Duke on receiving it exclaimed, 6 Sit at last !' and seemed muck pleased." LON '5(-)N, THE DUKE OF WELLINGTON. (From the Weekly Dispatch) The death of the Duke of Wellington has proved to all the greatness of his life. Nothing could be more quiet—let us not be misunderstood in using the word —more common-place than his closing scene ; there was no climax, no catastrophe, no heroic sacrifice in battle, like the fall of Nelson; no exhaustion by stern mental strife, as in the fates of Pitt and Canning, no sudden stroke of unforeseen accident, as we misterm it, as in the loss of Peel. The Duke died at an age when death must, in ordinary cases, have been long expected—of a disease that often strikes old age fatally—epilepsy; and this was caused probably by a paroxysm of the morbid appetite for food, which it is especially necessary guard against at that period of life. His danger, if we may believe the accounts, was apparent to himself, and much underrated by the apothecary who was summoned, Mr. Hulke, although that person had attended him on the occa sion of a previous similar attack. However, the Duke bas quitted life, as far as we may pronounce for another, happily ; in the fulness of years, and without the painful and humiliating decline of faculties. Ho has died a natural death, and, we hope, a very easy one. The time of his ceasing to breathe could not be exactly determined. And so passing away, with as little to startle in the event as death can bring, the event itself causes one deep, strong, unanimous sensation. What may be the effect in other lands we know not—we almost care not; the great country which he served is enough to estimate his memory and to treasure it. He has, as much as one man can embody a common cause, saved Europe; but we do not expect Europe to repay its debt, or even to understand it. It was the single misfortune of the Duke's life that he served those who were every way less worthy than himself. In this we do not speak of the nations he so mainly helped to redeem from intolerable and disgraceful bondage, but of those who led and represented them. In England he has long been looked upon as a piece of living history. The past had more of him in men's minds than the present, but, had a present arisen that needed bis help, the old faith in him would have been shown, as of old. Indeed, in the two latest crises of our policy, both within the period of the shortest memory, he was looked to as the arbiter of all differences. The Russell Ministry could scarcely rule, and none were ready to succeed them ; the Duke's moral authority composed the difficulty, and on the weight of his decision the effete continued in power. The nation was in possible peril from the freaks of irregular and unscrupulous authority in France ; all sane men asked, what insurance against the danger will the Duke think sufficient ? He had not outlived his service or his fame; and he dies when neither could have been much increased. Moreover, he passes from us at a time when all enmity and all envy are disarmed —when he is understood as he would desire to be. This is great fortune. The earlier part of his Euro pean career was subject to all the spleen of party. The somewhat shallow, and the not too honest persons who then represented the people's cause, never divided or classed the progress of the French revolution and its consequences. In the origin of the great war, which was only stayed, till 1814, by a hollow truce, the French, maddened and brutalized as they were by the education of serfs, fought for the inherent rights of mankind against the paltriest and most presump tucus usurpers of them. They claimed national exist ence against the miserable conspirators of Pilnitz. Disgraced as their cause might be, it was, in its main essentials, holy. The disgusting egotism of many in dividuals polluted it ; the horrible selfishness of one engulfed it. Men who are striving against the charla tan tyrannies of Napoleon the Little should begin by rightly estimating him whom, for antithesis' sake, they call Napoleon the Great. That Napoleon sub stituted bloodglory for the defence of patriots and free men ; he substituted aggression, lust of co nques t, brigandage, for republican virtue; he derided equality, and threw baubles to dupes as badges of slavery; he, the ancient enemy of France by blood an d f ee li ng , the avenger of Paoli—he, the Corsican, the son of a conquered land, whose schoolboy dreams were hatred to his island's oppressors—crushed France and stood upon its ruins, its possessor, its tyrant, governing the estate and the human cattle upon it with skill indeed, but with skill exerted only for his own personal purposes. France was his, and that was the sum of his regard for it. But half-minded men never analyse causes; when party spirit works they wilfully confuse them. When Napoleon reigned, it was England fighting for existence against a tyranny as frightful as that which France had discomfited. France bad taken the place of aggression. O ur Li berals could not see this. To them, as to someFrenche men of the present day, who, as children, are unable to give up the bauble glories of the Empire, Napolean was the vindicator of freedom against tyrants, the child of the Republic. He hated and despised both. When Wellington entered the field of European con test, it was in opposition to the idol of these twaddling dramatic romancers, these would-be politicians, who preferred a story book in weekly or daily parts, in which their favourite might triumph, to the serious justice and the hard practical facts they had no skill to appreciate. They felt for Napoleon as they would feel for Madame Laffarge or Ainsworth's Jack Sheppard. We are tracing Wellington's career in tracing these contrasts. He and Napoleon wore indeed impelled on different courses in widely different spheres of action, but the moral distinction was as great as the material. Wellington was no hero for slipslop sentimentality. The Li berals of England thought that they were doing service to mankind when they were mockin g at his plain, patient genius, and thwarting his efforts to arrest a plague that dazzled them by flashing it s in fluence in lightning meteors. But the English s y m . pathy, the heart ofthe people, as we rememb er we ll , was with the English general. They did more than illuminate for his victories—they rejoiced in the ap portionment of the rewards which they were well aware they had to pay. Even after the retreat from Moscow they could hardly believe Napoleon Bona.- parte to be anything , less than personally invincibl e ; but they honoured IA ellington as the man that could beat all his generals. The cynical Opposition carped and hindered—the paltry Government was afraid of supporting to its utmost, and with full avowal, the soldier who did its choice unwonted honour. Welling ton had to win success, that he might have the power to compel from his employers the means of success afterwards—and he did it. He conquered reluctance at home as enemies abroad, and forced enthusiasm as well as victory. He has been compared to Nap o l eon he should b e c ontrasted with him. For ourselves, we decidedly say that he was the greater man. He un dertook his task under all the obligations of morality and honour, and he beat the man who would own none of them. This ought never to be forgotten in the estimation of noted men. It is the first interest of mankind to give the prize to those who deliberately choose to serve their fellows in com pliance with the laws of right, and not to those who make mankind serve them in utter defiance of these laws. If merely to produce a given quantity of change, regardless of the means which bring it about, or the ends for which it is accomplished, be the mea sure of greatness, the conscienceless must transcend those who have conscience. Good is heavily weighted while evil is free. We are not comparing abilities, but deeds ; the men as they stand in history self sculptured. The use of all qualities is the glory of the possessors. 'Wellington and Bonaparte acted upon opposite principles; they never could have un derstood one another. Wellington's unselfish devo tion was to his country, personified to him, as a soldier, in that country's Sovereign. If we could imagine him at a conference in another world, it would be carrying out the Queen's interests to the utmost of his power. Bonaparte so completely mistook him, that one of his calculations was that the 'Wellesley family, after what they had achieved for England, must be expecting to reign in it. He could not understand the dignified humility of true glory, the fame that is won by working for a great cause without a second thought, that imperishable and ever honoured fame that comes as an unsought accident to the per formance of duty. Again, as a soldier, we cannot allow Wellington to be less than Napoleon's superior. The successes of Austerlitz and Jena were in a great degree Napoleon's own ; but even there he had no worthy competitors. At Marengo he was beaten. Desaix released him from defeat. At Wagram he would have perished with all his army, had the Arch duke Charles trusted in his own victory. Wh a t Wellington achieved he owed to himself, even to the formation of his armies out of the most unpromising materials. Lamartine has thoroughly estimated him when, in his narrative of the battle of Waterloo, he treats him as the most perfect and illustrious imper sonation of the English character. Wellington des paired of nothing. He might ,be slain with his last follower, as he made up his mind to be at Waterloo, but he would not be beaten. When but one of his staff was left beside him, and he was asked what was to be done in case of anything happening . to himself, he had but one order to give, "to die to the last man." Napoleon had won many a battle by out daring his enemies; there was no such thing as out daring Wellington. As he bad been obliged to cover with his fame the sins of his patrons . at the opening of his career, so be suffered in the dis grace of others when he had helped to w in Europe for them. The tyrants of the Holy Alliance made him appear an accomplice in their iniquity, though he was in nowise responsible for the abuse of the power which he had so mainly contributed to recover for them. This is admitted and comprehended now. When we turn to him as a statesman, we have the same character, but employed on a subject respecting which his mind was not specially instructed. There w ere the same sense of right, the same simple single mindedness, the same disdain of hollow convention, the same disregard of personal consequences; but there the pride of birth and the habit of aristo craticvvere a p l r s ellection,. and the absence of philosophical which might countervail them. W training hat he WEDNESDAY could discern he saw rightly ; but he could not see enough. In the case o f C at h o li c emancipation, he perceived a coming civil war, and with the courage that would rather bear o bl oquy t h an inflict such miseries as civil war entails, he magnanimously yielded his political preferences. Reform he opposed because he " could not see h ow the Ki ng ' s Govern.. ment was to be carried on." He professed no theo retical distinction of right; he never said that the aristocracy ought, as a moral choice, to have the government of England ; b u t h e had a m achine that would work, with which, indeed, he bad secured England's safety in t h e Catholic e mancipation against England's will, and be did not wish to see the machine broken till h e was sure that ano th er could be provided. Wh en t h e Reform B i l l h a d d one that, he accepted it, and, i n hi s way, he d id hi s b es t with it. Never a violent partisan, in the latter years of his life he has been almost released from party altogether. As Commander-in. Chief he has inde pendently pursued the go o d o f the service, an d applied the nation's forces to their most effectual purpose. He has been an arbiter between factions, with the power of the House of Lords to enforce his decrees. Of that institution he may almost be said to be the saviour, in moderating its opposition when opposition was most dangerous. The Peerage was instinctively grateful to him. He held its decisions often and continuously in the proxies he had in his pocket. To the last it would have been a desperate attempt to move the Lords to thwart his will or opp ose hi s judament. He had a veto, at least, upon a ll that was proposed in the British Legislature. H e i s gone. The Northmen , s image of death is finer th an t h at of other climes ; no skeleton, but a gigantic fi gure that envelopes men within the massive folds of it s dark garment. Wel lington seems so enshrouded f rom us, as the last of a mighty series, the greatest closing the procession. The robe draws round him and the era is past. His offices and honours lie like a wreck and spoil on his empty path. They must only be taken.up by worthy hands It will be an additional reproach upon all insuf ficiency, that it struts in the garment of the Duke of s o n in . hisß Royal a peg te s r t s founnaotel os fl are bruited as his ) that of Comman der-in-Chief.

THE ESSEX MAGISTRATES-THEIR LAW AND THEIR GALLANTRY. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. STR,—The Essex magistrates, when they decided the charges against Mr. Simpson and Monsieur and Madame Poitevin, declared their perfect consciousness that the eyes of Europe were upon them. I certainly was not previously aware that Europe occupied her visual organs in gazing on such intellectual objects as the Soions of the Ilford bench; but, if it be so, and if her ears as well as her eyes were employed on the oc casion in question, I cannot but think that she must, like myself; have been very much at a loss, on hearing the decision at which these learned gentlemen arrived with regard to Madame Poitevin, whether most to admire their gallantry towards the sex, or their pro found knowledge of the law which they professed to administer. The magistrates were sitting in the character of a jury, and in that character were celled upon to give the accused the benefit of any reasonable doubt, and this obligation, which applies to every case whether decided by a jury or by magistrates acting in their judicial capacity, surely was not the less imperative because upon this occasion the offence charged was one created by statute, and the person accused was a foreigner and a lady ; but, if it turns out so far from there being a doubt, the law was clearly in favour of Madame Poitevin, and neither the care which doubt engenders, or the sympathy which the weaker sex commands, were necessary to lead to her acquittal. What will Europe say, when, gaze from these h er f avour i te sons, and the sound of the oracular w o rd s w hi ch proceed from their lips having died away, s h e exerc i ses her judgment on their proceedings `rhaving withdrawn her It will be recollected that the alleged offence was committed by Madame Poitevin in the presence of and in company with her husband, he being not only actually present, but taking a part ire the transaction ; and therefore, unless there was something in this case to take it out of the general rule as to the presumed coercion of the wife in offences committed by her, in the presence of and jointly with her husband, she Was undoubtedly entitled to an acquittal. It i s true that this rule of la w simply raises a legal presumption o f coercion, which i s capa bl e of being rebutted by .evi dance ; but in thi s case no such evidence was given, end therefore th e presumption of law remained in full force in favour o f th e f emale defendant ; and although there, is som e ques ti on as to the extent to which this rule applies to c e rt a i n offences, ni a / a in se, there is no authority for the p os iti on that it does not extend to a statuteable offence of thi s d escription, but on the con trary, the reported d ec i s i ons, Rex v. Price, BC. and p. 19, Anon. M a tth. D ig. Cr. Law, 262, clearly show that it does. I am quite aware that t h es e are decisions which, it has been contended, take all cases below felony out of th e operation of this rule; but... believe that on exam i nation of all those cases it w ill be found that their effect has been misconceived by those who have dr awn a d i stinction which in th e more recent cases is, after consideration, repudiated, and, therefore, I think I am justified in contending that the decision of the Ilford Bench exhibits on the part of those who pronounced it a want of legal . and knowledge, as well as the absence of that courtesy. consideration which a lady and a foreigner have expected at the hands of English m agistrate s and English gentlemen. at Ilford The difference between the proceedings and the course pursued by Mr. Arnold in the ca se which was heard before him, who so determined ly refused to permit his feelings or his private opinions to interfere with the construction which, as a lawYheiri he felt himself called to put upon the statute whin was his duty to interpret, is so self-evident as to in duce even those who are the most at:minus that c ue country gentlemen should possess that inf llle in _ with which their position as justices of the pe peac e con sideration vests them, seriously to doubt whether even C h ac e . a mchie. oughttrat ion noto f justice; to be sideration ought to weigh against the close d ad heth d e is r pe i n f ee 7P:i i t h i e th oef ervices a and lto g eth er w judgment-seat, something like a decent know l e dge • by its ad the law ought at all events to be possessed tron I ministratora; but be this as it may, I should she g r ey while t advise the Solons of the Ilford Bench, sent s ystem continu es , for the sa ke of their own enough to credit, to r equest that Europe present will be kinddeliberations. shut her eyes during their present deliberations.

MESSRS. HOWARD AND CLINTON TO THE SPORT. DIG PUBLlC. — Conscious that we have discharged our thity to the public, by sparing neither money nor exertion, in obtaining the best and choicest informa tion from the most influential, and even from the most closely-guarded stables, we have hitherto been re warded by ample success. Being equally aware of the many enemies that our success has produced, we beg to lay before you the following cursory remarks in the Morning Post of yesterday (Tuesday). The public will, we have no doubt, respect the opinion and iudgment of such a man as Argus, a man of discriminating judgment and known honour. '• The present is the age of wonder, and on so great a scale are the operations of a firm, calling themselves Messrs. Howard and Clinton, carried on, that a journal of their own, published by subscription, has been established by them, for the retailing of information; the changes in the market, or in their own opinions, being conveyed daily to the public through the columns of a morning contemporary, in cypher. Some of these numbers were handed about at Doncaster, and scanned with a degree of avidity that shows how eagerly in formation on racing is sought after by the speculative classes. Some condemned, but all were amused by them ; and upon the principle of rendering unto Cmsar, &c.,1 cannot but admit their luck, 'in finding out the secrets of the pri son-house,' must be either very wonderful, or else that they must have resources at their command such as we are wholly unacquainted with. And it was still more amusing to hear of parties, some of them old stagers, too, candidly admitting the fact of their subscription to their lists, and the confidence in the investment of their moneys. The proof of the pudding is in the eating, and I should not be surprised to hear of this firm becoming a great fact' in the racing circlee. —Anous. Sept. 20, 18b2."

The result gave general satisfaction, as it was not expected she would have realised that speed, as the builders were limited to a very short length, and to ensure that she would not draw more than four feet of water. The vessel is, con sequently, very fiat-bottomed, with broad bows, and throws up a large wave upon them, which makes her speed the more surprising under these drawbacks, which were unavoidable owing to the difficulty of navigating the Danube in summer with steam-vessels of any other dimensions. The Tuna returned to Blackwell at a quarter before seven P,M , having extended her trip to beyond Shellhaven, at Sea Reach. TRIP to CHERBOURG from WEYMOUTH. The recent trip in the Wave Queen steamer, arranged by Captain Cosens, of the Princess, who accompanied the party, consisting of about 150 passengers, admits of more local description in reference to the natural beauty and scenery of the neighbourhood. The voyage may be said to require seven and a half hours; and, with a good band of music, and the great novelty of passing from Weymouth to Cherbourg, can only be appreciated by those who have taken a two days' trip. Alderney is viewed on the right about twenty miles distant, then a delightful view of the country around Cherbourg, ex tending from Barfleur to Cape La Hogue. The view of the breakwater, three miles in length, is magnificent, the wonder of the world, and the greatest of Napoleon's works. The guard-ship passed, you anchor inside the breakwater till the tide serves to proceed into the har bour, with music playing and decked with colours.

The fortifications are most formidable. On arriving at the surface of the mountain at the interior of Cherbourg, a panoramic view of fifty miles in extent presents itself, and is a rich treat. The armoury, har bour, gardens, &c., are most interesting. This is no flattering description, and a trip is strongly recom mended both with regard to health as well as r, creation A FEW FAIR and UNFAIR THINGS AGAINST THE FAIR SEX. BY AN OLD BACHELOR. The men who flatter women do not know them suffi ciently, and the men who only abuse them do not know them at all. Romances generally end with a marriage. And many young girls, when they leave school, would wish to go through the romance of life—as they do most romances—by beginning at the end. Women should rule but not govern. Scandal, with many women, is an occupation. They pick characters to pieces in the same way that they pick their nosegays to pieces—because they have got nothing else to do. If you wish to learn the worst fault of a woman, praise her highly to her friends. Woman is a most beautiful book, that too frequently is condemned for its errata. You can generally tell how popular you are with a lady by the length of time she keeps you waiting whilst dressing to receive you. A feu is a most handy little instrument for those who have lost the art of blushing. Vows are the bad money—the I 0 U's and post obits with which the man pays a woman the debts of his heart. If a young lady has a purse with two ends- r -silver in oue end, and gold in the other—she is sure to open the gold end first. The only time when women talk much amongst one another, is when they are waiting for the gentlemen after dinner. The eyes of a pretty woman we the interpreters of the language of her heart. They translate what her tongue has a difficulty in expressing. If you wish to close a lady's lips, ask her age. Few women keep a diary after their first love. Tell me how many ladies maids a lady has had, and I will tell you her temper. A man who has loved madly will laugh at his mad ness as soon as he has got cured of it; but a woman never laughs upon such a subj.ct. With her, l ove Is a madness, of which she never sees the folly. I don't know which is worst—a man who marries for money, or a woman who plays at cards. The - signal fur conversation amongst women is when a pretty girt begins to sing. Women will forgive everything in a man except hie being a bore—everything in a woman except her being pretty. Female forgiveness, illimitable as it appears to be, has , however, its limits. A woman will forgive an angrY word, or a sneer, or a shrug of the shoulders or a a light elevation of the nose, or a pinch, or a scrawl, or a cup of hot tea which she may have received from hands of another woman; she may even be brought tc) -V—ill her being prettier Wes but to her dying w none never forgive her ring diamonds when bile her,elf!

LkTE TrtArnc.—The development of the in Egyp d. elate traffic on the Chester and Holyhead line is gradually proceeding, and in a short time there is no doubt that it will form a most important item of revenue. The branch lines of rail from the great slate wharfs at Port Penrhyn and Pon Dinorwic have been connected with the tramways at the quarries, and in a short time, it is hoped, there will be a communication at Carnarvon between the line and the tram ways leading to the great slate basin. Ia order fully to in sure an adequate supply of slates, the company have pur chased a large piece of ground at Sahney, near Chester, whereon they can range and stack the slates carried along the line. This piece of land is eight acres in extent, and on it no fewer than 80,000 tons - of slate can be securely stowed. This will prove an immense depot, from which the wants of the surrounding districts can be fully supplied. The great quarries of Penrhyn and Llanberis are now connected with ttie main line, and the consequence will be a vastly increas ing amount of slate traffic by railway.

A royal decree, dated 10t rinsi countersigned by Senor Bravo Murillo, wa at „Madrid on the 12th i nst., by which t e uties on hardwares and other miscellaneous articles, and also on flax, linen thread, Saxon wool, woollen cloths (called Lanas Dulces), and on mules, are ordered to be re duced. The duty on flax was increased about one third in 1849, and both the importation and the revenue fell off in consequence ; it is henceforth to be 22 reals per qu i ntal, being 10 per cent. on the estimated value of 220 reals per quintal, and carded ditto 30 reels, being 10 per cent. on the estimated value of 300 reels, these duties being nearly the same as those paid before 1849. Under a foreign flag, these duties will be 27 and 35 reels per quintal. Linen thread (crude) paid 63.60 and 79.50 reals per quintal, according to the fla ; it is now to if crude or h a lf bleached, 50 g and 55 reels pay, per quintal; full blea c h e d dit to, 65 and 70 reels, and dyed ditto, 100 an d 105 reels.

Woollen goods (called Lanas Dulces) paid 12.70 reels per square vara in Spanish ships, which is stated to be 64 to 74 per cent. The duty is to be reduced to 8 reels the square Yarn, stated to be equivalent to 14 reels the lineal vara, and to 48 per cent. ad valorem. In foreign ships it will be 9.60 reels. The duty on the last-named article was doubled in December last year, by its being ia eluded in the class of woollen cloths; and the impor tation, which in the last eight months of 1851 was 96.956 vares, was only 6,364 yams for the first six months of 1852. In hardwares and miscellaneous articles the follow ing changes are made :—plain buttons, metal horn; pasteboard covered, and the materials for covering paid 6.25 and 7.50 reals per lb., according to the flag. They are henceforth to pay 2 and 2.40 reels. Tor toiseshell, ivory, mother of pearl, and all other but tons not included in the preceding, and those with letters, arms, &c., which were previously included in the same class with plain buttons, are to pay 4 and 4.80 Teals per lb. instead of 6.25 and 7.50.

Yesterday being St. M itthew's•day, the Lord Mayor, accompanied by the Sheriffs and other civic authorities, proceeded in state, accord:tie to annual custom, from the Mansion-house to Christ's Hospital, for the purpose of being present at the delivery of the orations of the senior scholars, appointing officers for the ensuing year, &o. Previous to the delivery of the orations in the Great Hall, the Lord Mayor and Sheriffs attended divine service at Christ Church, Newgeite-street, where a ser mon was preached by the Rev. John A. L. Airoy, M.A., of Pembroke College, and one of the Masters of the Merchant Tailors' School. The junior scholars to the number of 700 occupied seats at the east end of the hall, upon each side of the organ, the Lord Mayor and o l f the arge go vernors being seated at th e oppos i te extremity. The number of persons pres e nt cou ld not h ave fallen far centre short of 2,000. The R ev . E. Ri ce, D.D., the head e t l h ir e ere e d e . A e master, and the other master s o f th e sc h ool were seated m platformediately wh b i e c h h in t d he th o e ra tionswere d in immediately from number of the clergy were present on the occasion. The following is a list o f t h e orations 13. delivered, with the names of the scholars:— Latin Oration, on the benefits of the Royal Hospitals.

Ludlow, fifth "The Electric Telegraph," Latin Hexameters, on Richards' Prize Composition, Henry Dove Sweeting, first ds' Grecian. B o glish Poem, on " The British Empire in the East Indies," Charles William Paxton Watts, ninth Grecian. The whole of the orations were well received, and the style in which they were delivered reflected eonsidrable credit on the scholars. The Latin hexameters by B. D. Sweeting, who also delivered the English oration, were awarced the first medal, to be in future annua l ly adjudged under the will of the late Rev. G. Richards, D.D., a governor, and formerly an exhibitioner of Christs' Hospital. The composition of Lloyd, who de livered the Latin oration on the benefits of the royal hospitals, was stated by the ezeiminers to be very nearly equal in merit to that of the successful competitor. Th French oration by Gauntlett was d e li vered with e spirit and excellent judgment, and was warmly great ap plauded, as were also the Greek t rans l ation in iasebi of King Henry's address to his soldiers from Shak spere, and the translation from Young' s e Last Day" in Latin hexameters, recited by Claude Hubert Pares. The allusions in the Englisia oration to the lamented decease of the Duke of W ellington excited the deepest interest. The following lines in the poem on "British India," by Charles Watts, were loucl4 applauded:— " The veteran chief, the hero of our age, His earliest laurels reaped on India's shore, When burst the storm of vengeful Tippoo's rage, And Assessheard the victor's cannon roar. E'en though he sleeps, to crown the fight no more, Still will each Briton point with honest pride Where W elliugton in fame began to soar, Ere that, beyond the Douro's silvery side. The countless hosts of France he gallantly defied!" The orations having been brought to a conclusion, the Officers, I , ccord i ng to usage , laid their staves of office be fore the L or d M s y o r, and were re-appointed for the en suing year. In the meantime the "white glove" was handed round for the benefit of the young gentlemen about to proceed to College, and the gentle appeal ap peered to b© warm l y responded to. The nation a l anthem was then sung most leerily by the junior scholars, and the Lord M a yor and civic authorities left the building in the same s tate as that in which they h a d arr i ve d. A considerable co ncourse of persons wer e assem bl e d in Newgatesstr ee t to witness the eq ui p age . In the evening the boys of th e sc h oo l partoo k o f th e usual substantial entertainment provided on these occa sions. CRIONPT.—ELFVEN OP ENGLAND v.
