SEPTEMBER 22, 1852. History bad not tarried until his decease to claim ' the privilege of narrating the extraordinary career of the Duke of WELLINGTON. His renown had become in corporated with the national annals long before his aettnli departure. He had so far acquired the prero gatives conferred by extreme age upon the illustrious that he was enabled, while still in the complete pos session and in the full vigour of his faculties, to appreciate the estimate likely to be formed by pos terity in regard to the scope and splendour of his reputation. There was something remarkable, if not altogether unprecedented , i n t hi s surpr i s i ng prolong ation of a life !' dis tinguished by eminent achieve ments. Beginning on April 29th , 1 769 , an d termi nating on September 14, 1852 —it embraced an epoch snore prolific in wonderful eve nts than any other (humanly speaking) of which th e world has record. Associated with the, majority of those events, ARTHUR, comprehending WELLESLEY had the advantage o f them in th e i r entirety, by that ext ended existe nce which rendered him, at last, the solitary survivor of his earlier contemporarie s. It is impossible to stand over the grave which has just opened to receive t h e remains of our veteran soldier without emotions o f a very peculiar character—remindicg us, as his fun eral obsequies cannot fail to do, of the lapse of time which has gradually but inexorably absorbed all the grandeur and p u i ssance o f th e l as t age of g . iants—an age more m omentous than that of ALEXANDER, and more memorable th an t h at of CZSA.II, more glorious than that of CONSTINTINE, and snore chivalric than that of EHARLEBIAONE—the age of ona greater than all combined, tha age, of the most as t on i s hi n g adven turer the earth has ever kno wn, that of the Em peror and King, the Conque ror and Lawgiver, N Aro - LEON. Connected as the fam e o f our great Cap tain was so very intimately with that marvellous era, it possesies for us, at this juncture, a singular fascination. It recalls to mind, by a variety of sig- THE SUN, nificant circumstances, the fact which every succes sive year had, for a considerable time pant, been ren dering more and more perceptible—namely, that the military labours of the departed were as inoperative towards the end proposed as they were, undoubtedly, productive of expense to the country, or of glory to himself and his companions in arms. Thirty-seven years have elapsed since the crowning victory of Waterloo —or as our neighbours are accustomed to term it— cette funeste et glorieuse jour de Mont Saint Jean— and the gold and the blood squandered by England in dictating to France who should be her Sovereign, have been lavished to no other purpose than to enable the vanquished race to avenge in a brilliant and almost miraculous manner their political misfortunes and their national vicissitudes. The effete family of the Bourbons, after being dragged back by foreign armies to their throne in the Tuileries over half a million of the dead bodies of their fellow-couutry men, have been ignominiously expelled beyond the fron tiers which their selfish policy had caused to be dese crated with a view to merely their own personal ag grandizement. This treatment of the house of CAPE; moreover, has by no means been restricted to the elder branch. It has been impartially extended also to the younger—not, however, until after an extraordinary instance of domestic turpitude had been manifested—the son of that Egalite wbo had covered his name with indelible infamy b y votin g for t h e death of Louis XVI., having "stolen the precio us diadem" from the false spoken tyrant CHARLES X. and put it in his pocket," under cover of the mean and swindling trick of a hackney stock-jobber ! After the Elder and the Younger Branch of the Bourbons bad thus disgraced the royal office to which they had been originally restored by means of the banded Kings of Europe, France avenged the proceedings of 1815 by that sudden explosion of popular feeling in 1848, which rendered the treaty of Vi enn a so much mere waste paper, torn into frag ments and trampled into the dust by the leaders of revolution. The Duke of WELLINGTON became conscious, moreover, that in other respects, before the hour of his death, arrived the battle of Wa terloo was fruitless of any of the grand results intended by the councils of the Allied So vereigns. He perceived that after a little more than a quarter of a century had elapsed the great name of NAPOLEON was more than ever invested with an in- destruetable and magical popularity And this in spite of the treachery of MARMONT in 1814, and the treachery of FOUCHE in 1815, in spite of the capitu lation of Paris and of the captivity of St. Helena! CHATEAUBIZIAND had said, even at the time when his noble intellect was most infatuated for the Bourbons, and most prejudiced against the Bonapartes, that it was only necessary to raise a grey great-coat and a three-cornered hat at the end of a pole in any pr.rt of the French provinces in order to create a rising o the whole population. The Duke of WELLINGTON had lived long enough to witness that strange predic tion strong as coming from the lips of the apologist of the house of CAPET, and of the traducer of the house of NAPOLEON—singularly and signally verified. He had survived sufficiently to behold, as it were, in the villages of France a thou sand vignette illustrations of the beautiful ballad of BERA..N G En— On partera de sa gloire Sous le chaume bien longtemps: L'humble toil dans cinguante ans IVe gonnaitra pas d'autre histoire." it is that reflection more than almost any other which f•irces itself upon the consideration of the more reflec tive—whether in France or in England —at the pre rent moment, when we find ourselves standing upon the brink of that grave which is about to close over the remains of the Duke of WELLINGTON. It is a reflection the force of which must be recognised not less by the systematic enemies than by the sincere admirers of his Highness the PRINCE-PRESIDENT. For the election of that personage to the chief magistracy of the French Republic must be acknow ledged on all bands to be a tribute of homage, of gratitude, and of devotion offered by thirty-five millions to the memory of the defeated of Waterloo and of the captive of St. Helena. This circumstance before the close of his prolonged existence must have forced itself, we doubt not, somewhat painfully upon the re cognition of the calm and severe judgment of ARTHUR, Duke of Wellington. Thus has it come to pass that even within the lifetime of our great Cap tain, the exertions of the despots of Christendom have proved futile in strangling the will of a great people, those exertions which were only rendered even for a bile triumphant through the aid strangely afforded to the coalition by the English Government—the aid of nearly 800,000,0001. expended by Mr. PITT, and of so many remarkable victories achieved by the redoubtable sword of the Duke Of WELLINGTON. Upon the future annalist— may wenot venture to assert, with implicit confidence in the serene impartiality of his judgment, upon Sir ARCHIBALD ALIsoN in the continuation of his "History of Modern Europe ?"—will devolve the duty of deducing yet more clearly from these events the moral which we have hero dared to intimate by anti cipation. Whatever may be the secret and selfish promptings of our national inter e st — So may it ever be with those who would presume to tamper with the liberties of a great people, endeavouring to thrust back upon an unwilling race a monarchy supported only by foreign bayonets and to subvert the rights of au isolated community with the banded armies of an tutire continent I Within the last five or six years a great revolution ins taken place in Ireland. In 1846, when the staple food of that country was swept away by a disease which destroyed it and left a large population to famine, that revolution commenced. Emigration im mediately, and as if of necessity, was resorted to, for though the Celt much loves his native land, the lov e of life was stronger, and Ireland was abandoned by thousands and tens of thousands of her inhabitants when they found that if they remained it would be with Famine staring them in the face. The agrarian links were snapped, and far lands were resorted to, with the prospect of comfortable existence there. It is an ascertained fact, (published under Parliamentary authority) that from 1841 to 1851 the population of Ireland had sustained a decrease of 1,659,330, and that, in the same decade, 1 , 2 89,133 persons, or more than three-fourths of this decrease, had been lost to Ireland by emigration. The de crease i n the popu l at i on o f I re l an d ma y b es t be shown by the Official returns under the different Census' Acts. In 1821 it was 6,801,827. In 1831 it bad increased to 7,767,401. In 1841 it was 8,196,597. In 1851, when the last census was taken, ° it was 6, 5 15,794, s h owing the decrease i n the l as t ten years to be over 1 , 6 00,000 . T a ki ng theincreaseofbirths at 1 per cent. per annum, there would n 6 5 1 , 8 1 5 5 17 bteoingbe four a gainst a 7 n 37 an 2 n w ua h l r who emigrated f -5 t i me s the proba ble increase of the population. In the first four months be of 1852 the number of Irish 76,37 0 , a still further em igrants was increasing e depopuaon. s am ount and rate 0- a ltia a that, as any schoolboy's calculations would show--a gallon being taken out for every quart put in — the whole agricul tural population of Ireland runs a fair ch ance, if emigration proceeds at this rate, of being entirely swept away in • a few years. It may b e worth while to add, that the remittances from N or th America to Ireland, to defray t he passage-money of relatives and friends, was 990,0001. in. 1851. This is money saved from hard labour, not gained in any lottery of luck at the gold mines, and devoted by honest Industry to the cause of Affection. It com pletely, because practically, gives the lie to the oft repeated slander which accuses the poorer Irish of w,:nting an aptitude for labour. On the contrary, no people work so hard, where they find their work paid for, and to send over nearly One Million sterling, to help others to emigrate, shows prudential principles and practice of no ordinary:character. The Colonial Land and Emigration Commissioners, who had cognizance of and reported on this fact, further declare that these remittances are made out of the po,,r Irish emigrants' first savings. Such has been the providence (born of deep affection, if you will,) of , the self-exiled Irish, whom certain writers systema tically delight to libel as " imbruted," "idle," and " careless?' We have yet to learn that emigrant Englishmen have remitted their sa , viege to relations and friends in anything like the same ratio. In fact, when in Ire land, where his toil is ill-requited, or goes to swell Ithe fortunes of the absentee and the middleman, there is a sort of hopelessness in work. Out of Ireland, LONDON, - WEDNESDAY and particularly in North America, where toil is much required and well requitted, the Irish emigrant feels himself in a new and much improved condi tion ; he has broken the chain of circumstance and situation ; he has advanced into the citizenship of ) property, for his hands supply more than his humble necessities require ; he has achieved, far away, what was intangible in his native land, a recognition of the Dignity of Labour. This question has attracted the attention of the sta tistical section of the British Association, at Belfast. The statements we have here given we r e re f erre d t o , w ith a view to consider not only the excessive Emigra tion from Ireland, bat the reparative agencies i n progress in that country. Mr. LOCKE, who appears to have closely studied the rationale of the question, states these agencies to be—"lst,"the general progress of the people, industrial education and social ; 2d, a well-defined law of tenure, worked out in the spirit of its intention by the mu tail good feel ings and good sense of landlords and tenants ; and idly, the improvement of the labouring classes, in cluding cottiers and small farmers, whose profits or wages have been hitherto insufficient for decent main tenance." He said,—" Now, the first-mentioned is abundantly manifest in the decrease of crime, and the increase of agricultural improvement and general en terprise throughout the country. Of the second, we may entertain a well-grounded expectation, the matter being in competent and zealous hands. And the diminution of Poor-law taxation, and the substi tution of independent capitalists for distressed or in solvent landed proprietors, who were unhappily inca pacitated, from fulfilling the responsibilities of their position, afford strong warranty for the improvement of the labouring classes, which is indeed already felt in the rise of wages, and progress of industry in all its departments, agricultural, manufacturing, and commercial."—The agency here alluded to is the Act for the Sale of Encumbered Estates—a measure which, with some partial evil, has been pro ductive of great good. As OLIVER CROMWELL said of the execution of CuARLxs STUART, " it was a fatal necessity," arising out of circumstances which legis lative wisdom could neither anticipate nor control. By means of it the number of proprietors of land in Ireland has been more than trebled—over one million acres, or one-twentieth of the surface of Ireland (ex clusive of water), has changed hands; upwards of 7,000,0001. has been produced by the sales, and (in cluding 1,000,0001. to encumbrancers who became buyers) over 4,000,0001., or nearly two-thirds of the produce of the sales, have been distributed, throwing this vast amount into quickened circulation. Best of all, two-thirds of the purchasers have given 2,0001. and under, for their lots, thas making an agricultura l middle class—one of the great necessities of Ireland. If anything will put an end, legitimately, to the ems" gration which depopulates Ireland, it is this. Gapltal is, even now, in course of being introduced into Ire land—probably between three or four millions ster ling, or about half what has been got in from the sales of encumbered estates. A new class of pea sentry will be created, and we shall hear, no further, of a day's labour for fourpenc e o r sixpence. The better days of Ireland are commencing. Amongst the freaks of Irish Members it is really almost amusing to find some seventeen of them (a kind of postscript to the Tenant Leaguers), actually banding together in behalf of Religious Equality. Amongst the names we see, i n d ee d, that of Mr• SHARMAN CRAWFORD, whose consistency on this subject none could impugn ; but to read over a list of intemperate or zealous Catholics, and to learn that they have enrolled themselves as friends of Religious Equality—risum teneatis andel? What evidence have they ever given that they really wish for it ? Have they hitherto co-operated with societies or indi viduals who have simply and honestly sought that object ? There is an Anti-State Church Society, to which all its honourable opponents give the full credit of singleness of purpose and intelligent action, how ever much they object to its principles. Has it ever been aided by Roman Catholic gold or influence ? Other Christian denominations, we believe even Catholics themselves, have, by memorials and resolu tions, and even deputations, endeavoured to awaken their co-religionists in the United States to a sense of the incompatibility between their common faith and the horrors of negro slavery. They have thus shown that a Christian community in one country might, and ought to, expostulate with a kindred community in another country, on conduct discreditable to their Christian name. What have Catholics done in this way ? What medialized Italian Prince, what Pope, what Jesuit-governed Emperor has ever heard the voice of English, much less of Irish, Catholics re monstrating on the religious inequalities in their re spective domains ? Special occasions have not been wanting. We have lately seen Protestant mis sionaries to Jews ejected from Hungary, it being deemed better Jews should continue Jews than be come Protestant Christians; and just now a consider able number of Bibles are being sent back by the Austrian Government. Last year an Italian Noble, Count Gusccrannisa, was banished for merely read ing the Bible with some friends in his own house ; and two excellent persons, the MADIAIS, man and wife, have just begun a severe separate imprisonment of five years, simply and merely for becoming con verts to the Protestant faith by reading the Bible ! a deed which has justly called forth the indignant remonstrance of the representative of the Pru'sian Government! What Catholic remonstrance ha ; been beard from Britain ? Had the late Synods no interest in vindicating their common faith from such scandals as these ? Was it more important to attack the Queen's Colleges in Ireland, and to des cant on the dangerous allurements of Protestant education in England, than to rescue the Catholic name from the odium of revolting persecutions in its head-quarters ? Or do Catholics expect we should commiserate their pangs under the denial of English territorial titles, while they are insensible to Protestant sufferings under banishment, and the most harsh species of imprisonment ? They will allege, perhaps, that they have no power over foreign Governments. But have they no influence with them ? Lord PALMERSTON had no power over the Senate of Hamburgh, yet he remonstrated, and with complete success too, on the inconsistency of a Pro testant Government imprisoning their fellow-Pro testant, the Baptist ONEKEN. Are we to believe that what he readily obtained on behalf of a member of a comparatively obscure sect could be in no de gree obtained by the Catholics of Great Britain on behalf of those who compose the vast majority of the population amid which they dwell ? Would a vigor ous representation to the POPE, that here Catholics can erect a cathedral if they please, in full view of any Protestant one, not obtain for Protestants in Rome something better than permission to worship over a pigstye, and outside the gates ? Or, if his HOLINESS were earnestly reminded that here Catho lics were at full liberty to seduce to their ranks any class of her MAJESTY'S subjects, young ladies, and Oxford doctors—curates, and archbishops too, if they liked, it would in no way move him to tolerate seduction to Protestantism in his own dominions; and also to read a lesson of the same purport to his beloved cousins, who govern as Catholic Princes ? Seriously, while the head-quarters of Catholicism and all its subordinate agencies maintain a system of such hateful intolerance and cruelty towards Pro testants;awmheisl e n trh softense sight them of P intor ot e thesa n ts slightest liberality neither sh . ciprocity ; a n d taken by British Catholics n no n pen t o a n reverse v e e a r r s earnest steps issta are eo e f things abroad, they must not wonder i f all men will smile at Catholics talking of religious equality, or co mplaining of persecution, because forbidden to plagiarise ecclesiastical titles. Nor must they wonder if antieMaynooth agitators be even more successful than at the last election. We should, indeed, utterly refuse to take our lessons of civil and religious liberty from Italian or Austrian ecclesiastics. Still we as decidedly affirm that Catholics schooled in religious liberty in a Protestant country must be held to have enjoyed the benefit only, without learn ing the great lesson, unless they will zealously teach it to those of their own sect who are so utterly ig. fit. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris journals of yesterday. The approach of the Presidential train to Lyons, on Monday last, was announced by a salute of 104 guns, fired at the same time from all the forts. This formidable detonation seemed to shake the whole city, and the colours on the various buildings were visibly agitated. An immense population was assembled the whole way from the vicinity of the railway station to the hotel of the Prefecture, where Louis NAPO LEON was to alight. As soon as the PRINCE left the ra il w ay carriage, M. BRET, the Prefect of the Rhone, came forward at the head of the mayors and muni cipal council, and presented to him the keys of the town on a golden salver, at the same time addressing him as follows Monseigneur,—l have the honour to present to your Imperial Highness the keys of this town, the same that were presented to the Emperor. The inhabitants will be most happy to prove to you their cordial sentiments and devotedness to your cause." The PRINCE replied that be was happy to again visit a city which had given so noble and so memo rable a reception to the EMPEROR, and that he was much pleased with the favourable sentiments ex pressed towards him. Louis NAPOLEON then mounted wearing the uniform of a general of donivihsolirmse;bak, c General DE ST. ARNAUD and General DE CASTELLANE were at his sides, but a little behind. A detachment of mounted gendarmery and of the Ist dragoons opened the cortege, then came the PRINCE with his splendid staff, and then in carriages a num ber of foreign officers, amongst whom were General D s LA MARMORA, the Sardinian Minister of War, the Ministers, and other high functionaries. The crowd was something extraordinary, and the cries of " Vive Napoleon !" and " Vive l'Empereur !" incessant. The whole passage from the railway to the prefec tureost lastedu pwards of an hour, the weather being most favourable urable then and during the whole day. Past four the official receptions took place, and at ha tfi l v f e the PRINCE went to the archiepiscopal palace, where he was received by the Archbishop, to witness the regatta on the Saone. At sir o'clock the PRINCE assembled at his table the Cardinal Count DE LA MARMORA, the Envoy of the King of SARDINIA, M. PALEOCAPA, the Minister of Public Works at Turin, and a great number of functionaries and personages of note of Lyons. At eight o'clock a display, of fireworks, representing a volcanic eruption, was given at Fourrieres. At half past nine the PRINCE proceeded through an immense crowd crying " Viva l'Empereur !" to the ball at the theatre, where the principal inhabitants were assem bled. His Highness was greeted with the warmest acclamations. He danced a quadrille with Mdfle. BEET, the daughter of the Prefect, their vis. a-vis being the Prefect and Mine. Moues, the wife of the General of Division. His Highness afterwards went round the ball-room, the appearance of which was really enchanting. His Highness withdrew at eleven o'clock, followed by cries of " Vive Napoleon Vive l'Empereur !" a thousand times repeated. His car riage, followed by an immense crowd, proceeded at a footpac e to the pr,fecture. The weather was de li:,,htful the whole day, and no incident occurred to mar the proceedings. On the following day at eleven o'clock the PRINCE got on horseback, and, followed by his staff, proceeded to the Place Bellecour to pass in review the army of 1.430n5. This review took place in the midst of an immense concourse of the population, and with re peated cries of " Vive Napol6:na !" An estrade was prepared for the authorities, and the filing-off was effected with the most enthusiastic acclamations. The PRINCE then proceeded to the Place Napoleon along the Rue Bourbon, all the houses of which were dressed out with garlands and flags, the windows being occupied by ladies, who flung down flowers, and joined their voices to those of the crowd in the cry of " Vive l'Empereur At the moment when the PRINCE arrived on the Place, the statue of the Emperor was uncovered to the noise of cannons, mili tary music, and the singinp. of 800 children belong ing to the public schools. Col. DUHAMEL pronounced a short address to his Highness, who replied in the following speech Lyonese,—Your city was always associated by re markable incidents with the different phases in the life of the Emperor. You saluted him as Consul when he went beyond the mountains to gather fresh laurels; you after wards saluted him as all powerful Emperor; and lastly, when Europe had banished him to an island, you were among the first in 1815 to again salute him as Em peror. " Now your city is the first to raise a statue to his memory. This fact is a significant one. Equestrian statues are only erected to sovereigns who have reigned; thus the Governments which have preceded mo have al ways refused this homage to a power, the legitimacy of which they would not admit. " And yet who was more legitimate than the Emperor? elected three times by the people, crowned by the Head of the Church, recognised by all the continental powers of Europe, who allied themselves to him both by bonds of a political nature and by those of blood? " The Emperor was the mediator between two con flicting ages; he: destroyed the old regime in re-estab lishing all that was good in it, and he destroyed the re volutionary spirit by everywhere causing the benefits of the revolution to triumph ; that is the reason why they who overthrew him soon had to deplore their triumph; as to those who defended him, it is unnecessary for me to remind you how much they have wept over his fall. " And so it was, that as soon as the people saw them selves of liberty to make their choice they cast their eyes on the heir of Napoleon, and for the same reason, from Paris to Lyons, on every point of my passage, a unanimous cry of Vive l'Empereue has been raised. But in my eyes this cry is much more a souvenir which touches my heart than a hope which flatters my pride. " Faithful servant of the nation, 1 never shall have but one object, and that is to reconstitute in this great country, so convulsed by so many commotions and utopian schemes, a peace based on conciliation for men, inflexibility as to the principles of authority, love for the labouring classes, and national dignity. " We have but just extricated ourselves from those moments of crisis where, in consequence of notions of Confounded together, the best minds g h o a o ve d b a e n e d n perverted.evil lbelig i Prudence and patriotism demand that, at such times, the nation should reflect before it decides on its destinies; and it is yet difficult for ate to know under what name I can render the greatest ser- vices. " If the modest title of President could facilitate the mission confided to me, and before which I have never held back, it is not I, who from personal interest, would desire to change that name for the title of Emperor. " Let us then lay on that stone our homage to a great man and, in doing so, we shall honour at the same time the glory of France and the generous gratitude of the people; that act will also testify the fidelity of tho peo ple of Lyons to immortal souvenirs." The speech was received with the most enthusiastic applause, and with cries a thousand times repeated, of " Vive l'E mpereur." The following is the latest telegraphic dispatch re ceived by the Government : Lyons, Sept. 20, Six in the Evening. " The Prince has just returned from the port of La Vitriolerie. In returning, as in going, the population thronged in his passage and cheered him loudly. After a conference with the engineers of the Rhone and of the railways, his Highness got into his carriage and pro ceeded to the Palace of the Arts, where an exhibition of the horticultural produce of Lyons was laid out. In the Rue Central e , the Prince r ece i ve d going through from an immense population a reception of the most cordial descriptio n, t h e cry of Vive l'Emperenrr pre ceding and following him to the Palace of St. Pierre, and being redoubled on the Place des Terreaux. The women flung flowers from the windows, and the carriage of the Prince was literally covered with them. His Highness went through every part of the exhibition, and after wards addressed to the horticulturists his felicitations on what he beheld. They, in their turn, testified to him the liveliest expression of their gratitude. The Prince returned to the prefecture along the quays of the Saone, where an immense crowd was collected. Here, also, houses were dressed out, flowers were flung down from the windows, and the air resounded with the cry of Vive l'Empereur l'" A decree in the iloniteur of the date of the 14th puts a duty of SO centimes the 100 kilogrammes on the Belgian coal imported in the zone comprised be tween Haltein and Longwy, and five francs the 100 kilogrammes on metals in the raw state imported from Blancmisseron to LongwY• A note in the iloniteur explains the decree to be called for by the failure of the negotiations for the renewal of the commercial treaty of the 13th of December, 1845, for sake of re establishing equality in the common law, according to which the commercial relations of both countries are henceforward to be regulated. firm with The Bourse was remarka bl y a large amo un t of busineess transacted in railway shares.

Letters from Basle and Strasburg bring intelli gence of a sudden and destructive rise of the Rhine and the affluents of the Leman, in consequence of the heavy rains which have fallen in Switzerland and Alsace. A letter dated Strasburg, September 19th says— " The day before yesterday the waters of the Rhine arose in a most extraordinary manner, and speedily reached four and a half feet above high-water mark. They have been steadily rising since, and this morn ing, atsix o'clock, were twelve feet above the m ark, and are still rising. Letters from Lausanne and Fridau also announce extensive inundations. In connexion with these floods the Swiss papers report an accident which has befallen the Duchess of ORLEANS. On the 17th the Duchess, accompanied by her two sons and fifteen persons of her suite, was going from Lausanne to Berne, but, on arriving at Moudon, she learned that the bridge at Courtilles had been carried away by a flood on the previous night, and she was thus compelled to return with her two travelling carriages and to take the route of nornont, Fribourg, &c. She had passed Oron about noon, but at about two o'clock one of the carriages returned, containing the Duchess, the two Princes, her lady of honour, &c., all drenched to the skin, and the Duchess having sustained an injury. It appeared that her carriage, owing to the imprudence of the coachman, had fallen into a wide ditch full of water, at the en trance of the village of Promasens, and had been turned completely upside down. The Duchess had her right collar bone broken, and the other travellers have escaped with some bruises. Drs. Mellet, of Oron, Guisan, of Mezieres, and Penis, of Lausanne, were immediately sent for. A letter from Lausanne, on the 18th, says that the Duchess had had a good night, and her state gave no cause for uneasiness. The young Princes had not received a single bruise. ITALY. The Turin correspondent of the Official Gazette of Savoy mentions new rumours of a crisis in the Pied• montese Cabinet, but adds that no change will take place before the meeting of the Chambers. The Official Gazette of Savoy, of the 19th, states that a letter has been received at G enos , f rom a friend of GARIBALDI, who relates that the latter, having made several voyages between Callao (Peru) and Canton, has realised a sufficient sum from the sale of guano to purchase the vessel under his com mand ; that he has hoisted the Sardinian flag, and in tends visiting the Mediterranean. Count DE SAMBUY, Sardinian Plenipotentiary to the Court of Rome, arrived at Chambery on the 19th. The Official Gazette of Savoy, in giving this intelligence positively denies that Count DE SAMBUT'S departure from Rome was owing to Cardinal ANTO. NELLI'S letter, or any other cause of coolness with the Holy See, and that he is shortly to return to his post. Major-General DURAND°, aide-de-camp of the King of SARDINIA, has sent to the Mayor of Casale, Advocate DEGIOVANNI, the order of St. Maurice and St. Lazarus, for his noble conduct at the time the Austrians attacked the place in 1849. Mr. FREEBORN passed through Turin on the 18th, from London, on hia way to his consulate, at Rome. MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.) CORN EXCHANGE--WEDNESDAY. The quantity of English Wheat on offer in to-day's market was very moderate, and in middling condition. Selected parcels moved off steadily at full prices. In low and middling kinds next to nothing was doing, but we have no change to notice in the quotations. The im ports of Foreign Wheat have been confined to 3,670 quarters. For all descriptions the inquiry ruled very inactive at late figures. Floating cargoes of Wheat and Indian Corn were much neglected. Most kinds of Barley sold to a fair extent at late figures; but the in quiry for Malt was in a depressed state. The show of Oats being larger the trade was dull at last week's cur rency. Beans, Peas, and Flour were in moderate in quiry at extreme quotations. ARRIVALS THIS WHET. Flour, Wheat. Barley. Qrs, Qrs. Qrs.
