PORTRAITS WELLINGTON AND SOU - LT WITH MEMOIRS' AND FAC-SIMILES OF THEIR HAND WRITLN-GS. A PORTRAIT OF THE DUKE OF WELLINGTON, TOGETHER WITH THE MOST nificant circumstances, the fact which every succes sive year had, for a considerable time peat, 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 expanse 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-countrymen, 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 CAPET, 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 bad covered his name with indelible infamy by voting for the death of Louis XVI., having " stolen the precious 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 had thus disgraced the royal office to avenged the which they had been originally restored by means osion treaty of the banded Kings of Europe, France proceedings of 1.8151847, whichthat s r u e d n d d e e popular feeling inthe n red expl of Vienna so much mere waste paper, torn into frag ments and trampled into the dust by the leaders of a 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 destructable 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 ! CHATEAUBRIAND 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 part 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 CADET, 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 BEL:INGER— " On parlera de so gloire Sous le chaume bien longtentps: L'humble toit dans cinquante ans Ne eonnaitra pas d'autre histoire." It is that reflection more than almost any other which forces itself upon the consideration of the more reflec tive—whether in France or in England —at the pre sent 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 hands 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 while triumphant through the aid strangely afforded to the coalition by the English Government—the aid oe 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 we not venture to assert, with implicit confidence i❑ 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 here dared to intimate by anti cipation. Whatever may be the secret and selfish promptings of our national interest—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 an isolated community with the banded armies of an entire continent I Within the last five or six years a great revolution has 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 18 4 41 to 1851 th e p o p u l a ti on o f Ir e l a nd had sust a i ne d a I,2 e B c 9 rease of 1,659,330, and that, in the same decade, ,133 person s , or more than three-fourths of this decrease, b ad been lost to Ireland by emigration. The decrea se i n 7 the population of Ireland may best he shown by the n cial returns under the different Census' Acts. 1 18 21 it was 6 801 827 In 1831 ,71:4, sh owing a ~ it, had increased to" ' ,767,401. In 1841 it was 8,196, 597 . In 1851 , wh en the last census was taken, it was 6,515, , a over lmoo ng tbeclec ,o r o eas . e in the last to beTaking e l as t ten the increase o f births at 1 per amt. per a there wo uld be an annu al increase of 65 nnum 157 , to ') w ho emigrated i n 1851, beingbe set aga inst 257,3''1- , increase of the four times the probabl e population. In the first four months of 1852 the number of Irish .. 6 3 70 1 i ncreasing amount still further emigrants was i , n ereasin amount and rate of depop ulation. So that, as g any bein g taken calculations would show—a gallon taken out for every quart put in--the whole agricui. tural population of Ireland runs a fair chance, if emigration proceeds at this rate, of being entirely swept away in a few years. It may be worth while to add, that the remittances from North America to Ireland, to defray the passage -money of relatives and friends, was 990,000/. 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 wanting 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 sterli ng , to help others to emigrate, shows prudential principl es ' an d pract i ce o f no ordinary character. The Colonial Land and Emigration Commil:sioners, who bad ~,, gnizance of and reported on this fact, further decla re a that these r em itt ances a r e ma d e ou t o f t h e poor .irish emigrants' - ^ . first savings. Such has b een the providence (born the eel &exiled Irish of deep affection, if you will,) o f , whom certain writers systema tically delight to libel as " imbruted," "idle," and "careless:' e have yet to learn that emigrant Englishmen have remitted their sa vings to relations and friends in anything like the same ratio. In fact, when in Ire land, where his toil is ill-re qu i te d , or gees to swell the fortunes of the a b sentee and the middleman, there is a sort of hopelessness in vork, Out of Ireland, + 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 were referred to, with a view to consider not only the excessive Emigra tion from Ireland, but the reparative agencies in progress in that country. Mr. LOCKE, who appears to have closely studied the rationale of the question, states these agencies to be—" Ist, the general progress of the people, industrial education and social ; 2d, a well-defined law of tenure, worked out i n the spirit of its intention by the mutual good feel ings and good sense of landlords and tenants ; and idly, the improvement of the labouring clas9es, in cluding cottiers and small farmers, whose profits or wages have been hitherto insufficient fur decent main tenance." lie 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 classe, 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 CHARLES 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 eluding 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, thus making an agricultural middle class—one of the great necessities of Ireland• If anything will put an end, legitimately, to the emi gration which depopulates Ireland, it is this. Capital 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 sa l e s of encumbered estates. A new class of pea santry will be created, and we shall hear, no further, of a day's labour for fourpence or 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) a ctually banding together in behalf of Religious Equal it y . Amongst the names we see, indeed, that of Mr. SHARMA.N CRAWFORD, whose consistency n n 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 Reli g ious Equality—risum teneatis amici ? 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 GUICCIARDINI, 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 Prussian Government! What Catholic remonstrance has 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, would it in no way movehim to tolerate seduction to Protestantism in his own dominions; and also t o r e ad a lesson of the sam e p u rport to his belo ve d cousins, who govern as Catholic Princes ? Seriously, while the head-quarters of Catholicism and all its subordinate agencies maintain a system of such h a t e f ul intolerance and cruelty towards Pro testants ; while the sight of Protestant liberality neither sha mes nor softens them into the slightest re ciprocity ; and W hi le taken by British Catohoolipcesn la to and v e e a r r s n e e this s s t e s t p a s t e are of things abroad, they must not wonder if all men will of persecution, tit ie because forbidden to Nor must they wonder agitators if s. be even more successful smile at Catholics talkin g o f religious equality, or complaining e of hon ci l v d i , l indeed, utterly ..

MADAME VESTRIS.—Irt contradiction of a para graph which is making the rounds of the press, regarding the " serious indisposition" of this great public favourite, it affords us much gratification to state, on most unquestion able authority, that she is at the present moment in Lon don, in the enjoyment of most excellent health and spirits, preparing for the coming campaign, which is appoiated to opaulellGo va the 11th of ;gat month, 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 railway carriage, M. BRET, the Prefect cf 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 : _ _ '• Monseigueur,—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 he 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 on horseback, wearing the uniform of a general of division ; 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 DE LA MAamouA, the Sardinian Minister of War, the Ministers, and other high functionaries. The crowd was something extraordinary, and the cries of " Viva Napoleon !" and " Vive l'Empereur r incessant. The whole passage from the railway to the prefec ture lasted upwards of an hour, the weather being most favourable then and during the whole day. At half-past four the official receptions took place, and at five the PRINCE went to the archiepiscopal palace, where he was received by the Archbishop, to witness the regatta on the Saone. At six o'clock the PRINCE assembled at his table the Cardinal Count DE LA MARMORA, the Envoy of the King of SARDIN IA , 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 Mdlle. BRET, the daughter of the Prefect, their vis• a-vis being the Prefect and Mine. Monis, 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 ! Viva rEmpereur !" a thousand times repeated. His car riage, followed by an immense crowd, proceeded at a footpace to the Prefecture. The weather was de lightful the whole day, and no incident occurred to mar the proceedin gs 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 Lyons. This review took place in the midst of an immense concourse of the population, and with re peated cries of " Vive Napoleon !" 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 1" 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 singing 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 me 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 guod 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 es 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'Empereur' 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 reecnstitute 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 conseq uence o f notions of good and evil being confounded together, the best minds have been perverted. Prudence and patriotism demand that, at such times, the nation should reflect before it decides on its destinies; and it is yet difficult for me 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 the 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'Empereur." The following is the latest telegraphio 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 returni n g , 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 o f the Arts, where an exhibition of the horticultural produce of Lyons was laid out. In going through the Rue Centrale, the Prince received from an immense population a reception of the most cordial description, the cry of 'Viva I'Empereur!' 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 ho beheld. They, in their turn, testified to hi m 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 Vivo l'Empereur !'

His renown had become incorporated with the national annals long before his actual 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 this surprising prolong ation of a life so distinguished by eminent achieve ments. Beginning on April 29th, 1769, and termi -14, 1852.--it emb race d an epoc h nating on September more prolific in wonder ful ev ents than any other (humanly speaking) of which . the w orld has rec o rd.

Another conference of the Customs Union Con gress was held at Berlin on the 18th. The Ministers of Hanover, Brunswick, Oldenburg, and Thuringen were present. The conference lasted only half an hour, as the object of it was, it is said, merely to fix the bases of future discussions. SWITZERLAND. 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 Rbine 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, at.six o'clock, were twelve feet above the mark, 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 Courti!les 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 Romont, 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 hail 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 Genoa, from 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 &karmas 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 DEGIOTANIVI, 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 his 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 WEEK. Wheat. Barley. J Malt. i Oats. Qrs, Qrs. Qrs.

INTERNATIONAL POSTAGE ASSOCIATION.—A letter was published on the 17th instant, being a copy of one .ad dressed by this Association to the foreign Ministers resident in London . It was then stated that their Excellencies the Ministers for Austria, the United States, Spain, Brazil, Sar dinia, and Portugal had returned answers of the Lmost favourable description. Since then their Excellencies the Ministers for France, the Netherlands,and the Sublime Porte have also replied in terms full of interest and sympathy for the objects of the association. A reply quite as favourable has been received from the Consul-General for the Haase Towns, and from every other representative of foreign coun ties with whom the association have been in correspondence. With the intention of extending the sphere of their opera tions in this country, it is intended to form branch associa tions in the provinces, and they have already received pro mises of support for this purpose from the following loca lities:—Bath, Cork, Cheltenham, Dumbarton, Deal, Dublin, Exeter, Falkirk, Glasgow, Huntingdon, Huddersfield, Hali fax, Hastings, Leicester, Leeds, Merthyr Tydvil, Manchester, Newcastle, Northampton, Nottingham, Oxford, Portsmouth, Plymouth, Reading, Rotherham, Spalding, Swansea, Shef field, Sunderland, Staffordshire Potteries, Totnes, Tiverton, Wareham, Wisbeach, and Waterford. THE THEATRE.—The regular season commenced on Monday with Madame Celeste and Mr. Webster, who have been playing to excellent and enthusiastic houses. They re main with us for another week.

This comPell epo ce work the celebrated Rossic lead mines of St. 1-ie w e 'oo county, which in 1837 and 1838 yielded pearl! n oe l tons of metallic lead, valued at more than two hurkusho and fifty thousand dollars. There are two mines throe hundred fathoms of each other, nearly Pa r O ne containing four veins, and extending a di s tance 01 be mile. They are sufficiently contiguous tc t ee worked by the same set of machinery. UndfridieB old management, fifteen thousand tons of ore, Ye s ; 00 twenty-six hundred tons of metallic lead, worth 2",i3ree dolls., were taken from a space measuring and hundred and eighty feet long, by one h undrea eighty feet deep, and four feet wide. The tion amounted to thirteen hundred and riot six square fathoms of the vein, or ten and a hal l en tly, per fathom of 20 per cent. raw ore. Consego-ery every six feet square produced 172 dollars, at d el obff square foot nearly 5 dollars. The celebrated copper mine, of Lake Superior, only yields 118 dollo4o to every cubic fathom. We have not the most reesoug, idea of the mineral wealth of this country. The p ete r nitude of mining operations in Great Britain is grt 00 , than we imagine. In the year 1851, about fifty P. 13 .0 sand tons of metallic lead was produced in Great Brititid.
