'there is no doubt, of course, th at the military achieviciients of hii Grace have acquired C , for him some triflipg amount of celebrity—that he . ‘ pel:eo:iot altogether ineffectually, with the warrior S „I THE chiefs of 'DrPoo as well as with the most renowned among the marshals of NAPOLEON—and that his name has become somehow associated with a series of rather remarkable victories extending back from the f eld of Waterloo to the walls of Seringapatam. That these deeds have been, hitherto, vulgarly attributed to the Duke of WELLINGTON, appears to be indisputable, if we are to attach any credit whatever to the luminous records of NAPIER, or to the picturesque and elo quent descriptions of ALIsoN. Unquestionable, however, though these facts may have been consi dered, heretofore, they must at length be altogether abandoned as worthy of not an instant's consideration : for the Duke of WELLINGTON was on Tuesday last quietly and deliberately pooh-poohed by Mr. COBDEN ! Really, his Grace might have anticipated a little more respect both for his age and his career, from a man who had formally grasped his hand with the grasp almost of friendship only a few months since, in the presence of many thousands of people, in the Palace of the Great Exhibition. So entirely and rapidly, however, has this incident been forgotten by the Member for the West Riding, that he takes occasion to sneer at the Captain in so many memorable battles (behind his back) from the platform of a concert room in Marylebone. Considering all that the Duke of WELLINGTON has done, considering the years which have passed over his head in the ser vice of the country, both civil and military, we must acknowledge our incapacity to recognise the delicacy of Mr. COBDEN'S observations. CICERO in his very noble and exquisitely beautiful dissertation, De Senectute, has placed in the mouth of the venerable CATO words such as, might not inaptly have fallen from the lips of the Duke of WELLINGTON. We are induced to call this circumstance (we might almost designate it this coincidence) to the recollection of the lettered reader, because of the coarseness of the re mark made by Mr. COBDEN on the occasion referred to, when he spoke of the brave old warrior still at . the head of the authorities at the Horse Guards, as one who bad originated " outcries about danger which ought only to have proceeded from women or chil dren." Abuse, by the way, is not argument—neither can logic be regarded as answered by contumely. But what are those Ciceronian sentences which might, according to our thinking;be not inappro priately uttered by the Duke of WELLINGTON ? ".1 am now," says CATO, "in my eighty-fourth year, and I wish I had reason to boast with CYRUS, that I feel no sensible decay of strength. But although I do not possess it in the same degree as when I made my first campaign in the Carthagenian war, in the course of which I was advanced to the rank of Ques tor, or when during my consulship,l commanded the army in Spain, or when four years afterwards I was military tribune at the battle of Thermopylx—yet I can with truth, you see, affirm that old age has not totally relaxed my nerves and subdued my native vigour. My strength has not yet been found to fail me, either in the senate or the assemblies of the people, when my country or my friends, my clients or my hosts, have had occasion to require my service." Place those declarations in the mouth of the Duke of WELLINGTON, and they will be found not less accurately descriptive than they were when attributed to CATO by the greatest of all Roman orators. Yet this is the very man whose name has been selected by Mr. COBDEN as a target for his not very graceful or rhetorical shafts of derision ! " Li, he whose fame outshines the fabulous! Sublime with eagle front, and that grey crown Which Age, the arch priest seta on laurell'd brows; Lo, Geraint, bending with a world's renown! Yet those grey hairs one ribbald scoffer found; — The moon sways ocean, and provokes the hound." King Arthur, Book v., stanza 14. Let those majestic verses of the bard of Carduel, those verses in which Sir BULWER LYTTON (in the true prophetic spirit of pccsie) offers that noble meed of praise to the Conqueror of the Peninsula, be the fitting response to the right trusty, and valiant knight of the shire of York—the Quixotic Leader of the Peace Association. " Yet those grey hairs one ribbald scoffer found; — The moon sways ocean and provokes the hound." That couplet ought to be emblazoned forthwith across the shield of the knight of the West Riding— heraldically, along a bar sinister—with "a dagger of lath" as the device! Apart though we are, in the vast proportion of our political sympathies, from his Grace the COM MANDER-IN.CHIEF—alien though many of his ideas in regard to the right principles of administration are to those entertained by ourselves—we have none the less earnestly, on those accounts, protested against the indecorous sneers with which Mr. COBDEN has thought proper to speak of the Duke of WELLINGTON. We leave it to the people of England to decide whether the remarks we have here referred to are worthy of one who aspires to the dig nity of a statesman, or whether they are exactly be fitting a man pointed out as a probable Cabinet Minister by the very enthusiastic gentleman who seconded the first resolution on the occasion of this very redoubtable meeting at illarylebone. Let the Militia Bill introduced to the House of Commons by the HOME SECRETARY be reprobated as loudly as its most ardent antagonist could desire—let it be pro nounced unconstitutional in its tendencies, tyrannical in its probable operation, and preposterous in its en tire character—but do not, in Heaven's name, pre sume to trifle with a danger so glaringly manifest as that of the insufficiency of our national defences, and, least of all, todirect such very coarse and vulgar perso nalities against a venerable warrior like the Duke of WELLINGTON. If any proof were required of the advantages of triennial Parliaments, and of compelling Honourable Gentlemen to solicit renewals of confidence from their respective constituents more frequently than under the present system they are required to do, it would be afforded by the numerous addresses with which the public journals ar e now filled to overflowing. Every member of the popular branch of the Legisla ture who has not, for no doubt adequate reasons, de termined on retiring into private life is on his " good behaviour ;" obnoxious opinion; are quali fied or retracted, ample explanations are given on every subject that could by a possibility occasion ;complaint or annoyance. It would be impossible to find a more amiable, high minded, or public-spirited set of gentlemen than the several aspirants for senatorial honours. It is really gratifying to find such striking exhibitions of 7 4 ti°tiAa, and must add c o nsiderably to the feeling \topics of the day, an d ready national pride to b e h o ld our p u blic men making themselves so th oroug h ly acqua i nte d w ith all the to stand the most search' ing cro s s- exam i nat i on iheornyeia shortening n. If there were no other object to b e achieved b of Parliament, the additional orting the duration en r diligence and activity excited among the ch osen people would furni s h a conclusive representatives of the argument in its favour. themselves The constituencies should now avsil of the golden opportunity, and elicit clear and un equivocal expressions of opinion from the s evera l can didates. They should recoll ec t th at seven years a ma y possibly elapse before they could revenge flagrant act of tergiversation. Persons who have any seven years' lease of office may b e creep willing to g of the deceived vo t ers, through any loophole—to take advantage of any vagueness generality n in , their o wn a dd resses, caring i nation w h o se suffrages the y have obtained under wha t were little for r id the but little better than fictitious representations. If the term were reduced to less than one-half of that at present allowed, we should see fewer betrayals of confidence and better feelings between the electors and elected. As it is, the persons about to exercise their high privilege, should thoroughly understand the sentiments of the claimants for their favour be fore they arrive at a final decision on the important subject. The first, the most important question of all, is that respecting our commercial legislation. No man, howeve r estimable his chara cter or high his qualifications, should be tolerated for a mo. nient who even contemplates the possibility of the re•enactrnent of a bread-tax. An express pledge on that point is indispensable. We must n o t imperil the glorious victory we have already achieved by any apathy or carelessness. But, if practicable, We should not be con we should go still furt her. tented ofe t tedtho take e erely with cbvia',ing a retrograde poli c y , but \ Should use our utmost exertion s to render it progres hkiligehefustritmherporstt:npcseinthethreo efrrigeht direction, It to select persons holding sound views on fiscal subject" Our trade and uN, LONDON, commerce cannot be really freed from the restrictions still remaining, unless the entire system of taxation be placed on a sounder basis, and direct charges substi tuted for indirect imposts. How can we reduce the duties on tea, tobacco, wines, sugars, Etc.—how can we abolish the malt-tax and hop-tax, unless we re quire the owners of accumulated and realized property to contribute more largely to the liquidation of the public liabilities, and the maintenance of the national establishments ? Every true Free-trader must also be a t fiscal reformer—the advocate of direct rather than indirect taxation, and where there is an extensive choice, none should prematurely pledge themselves in favour of candidates whose views and feelings on these points are not completely in unison with their own. Of course the nation should be just, and there ought to be no addition to the income tax, that did not recognise the distinction between schedules A, C, and D, between the possessors of landed estates, or snug sums in the Three per Cents., and those who earned their daily bread by physical or intellectual labour—who by incessant toil obtained fluctuating and precarious profits, from which a large per tentage would have to be deducted for future exigencies. The would-be Members should also be closely catechised as to their views on financial snd mone tary reform. They should be desirous of maintain ing the efficiency of our national establishments, but without waste or prodigality. They should be generous without extravagance to the public em ployees, remunerating every man fairly for his ser vices, but opposing strenuously every sinecure and job, so as to cut down the public expenditure to the lowest scale consistent with our position as one of the leading nations of the earth. In monetary matters, by no means the least important of the problems re quiring speedy solution, they should be prepared to give that which may be regarded as indeed the very life-blood of industry, a circulating medium adequate to the wants and exigency of the country. But perhaps, next to free trade, the question 01 Parliamentary reform will excite the greatest in. terest in the forthcoming contests. Vague decla• rations will no longer serve to hoodwink the electors The miserable abortion brought forward as a new Reform Bill has opened the eyes of the people on this important subject. We may struggle to obtain good measures, but until we purify the source of legislation itself, until we render the House of Commons practically what it is in theory, a real re presentation of the community, and a fair exponent of its wants and wishes, we cannot hope for permanent peace. We must, therefore, have not only a large extension of the suffrage and a more equitable dis tribution of electoral power, but we must have full protection afforded to the voter against every undue influence, whether of bribery or intimidation, by means of " the ballot" and a shortening of the duration of Parliament, so as to cause the representa tive to respect the wishes of those to whom he must ac count for his legislative conduct at no very distant day. We should also speak of the abolition of the property qualification, but that the Bill introduced by the Right Hon. Gentleman the Member for Devonport will, we trust, dispose of that topic before the appeal to the country. There are other matters that should also be borne is mind. The Marriages Affinity Bill is a question of civil and religious liberty, affecting most largely the peace and happiness of many estimable fa milies, through an undue desire to con trol the consciences of others in the most sacred relationship of life. There are many other points that will readily suggest themselves, but to which our space will not allow us to refer. We repeat, however, that no man should bind himself until he has perfectly satisfied himself of the general correctness of the views of the candidate for his suffrage—that he should not act lightly in the dis charge of the most important trust that can be con filed to the hand: of a freeman. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris journals of yesterday The Council of State has had communicated to it the amendments adopted by the Committee on the New Copper Coinage Bill, but which are said to bear only on details of a secondary character. The amount, which had been fixed at 7,560,000 f, will merely un- dergo a reduction of 260,000 f. The Moniteur contains the revenue return 3 for the quarter, which give an increase over the correspond ing period of last year of 6,155,000 f. The increase for the month of March over the same period is, as the Moniteur lately announced, nearly five millions, the exact sum being 4,991,0001. The greatest item of increase, speaking of the past month, is on registry dues, it being 1,767,0001. Stamp duties show an in crease of 635,000+. Duties paid on divers imported articles show an increase of 1,154,000 f., and on French colonial sugars 947,0001. Duties on potable liquors give an increase of 414,000 f. There is a falling off in the duties on home-made sugars of 1,338,000 F. The post-office shows an increase of 287,000 f. It will be recollected that the month of February gave an increase of upwards of a million and a half over the corresponding month of the previous year ; so that should the next following months continue to be vi sited with the same prosperity, the promise of a ba lanced budget held out by the Minister of Finance may be expected to be justified. The Nouvelliste of Marseilles states that the Go vernment has just commuted the penalty on M. Mio - r, ex-representative, who had been condemned to transportation to Cayenne, and now detained at Fort Lamalgue. He is to be sent to Africa. By a decision of the PRINCE PRESIDENT, the penalty of 5,000 f. pronounced on the 25th of July, 1851, by the tribunal of Draguignan on Mme. BAUNNE, for a contravention of the laws on the press, has been reduced to I,OOOE A similar reduction has been made in the case of M. REPAS, a printer at Digne, who had been sentenced to a fine of the same r amount. The health of Marshal GERARD is said to be such as to cause serious alarm to his family. For the last week, the marshal, who is in his 79th year, has suf fered from great weakness in consequence of an ob stinate dysentery. There is no truth (says the Public) in the report which has been in circulation that the Duke D A UMALE had sold Chantilly to the Queen Dowager of SPAIN. The Debats has the following article on affairs in Switzerland : "Itis on Sunday next, the 18th inst., that the vote on the revocation of the Grand Council, and of all the authorities of the canton of Berne, will take place. The Radical party, the principal element of which is the lower classes, has provoked this kind of appeal to the country; and it is with the law in their hands, and without any revolution properly so called, that it hopes to overthrow the present Grand Council, composed of liberal men, and of men in general animated with a desire of doing well. It is a life and death struggle between the party which has nothing to lose and the one which possesses fortune and intelligence. Should the Radical party triumph and become once installed in all public employments, God knows to what atrocious ex travagances they will carry the application of the Socialist and Communist system. Unfortunately can no one in the midst of an agitation which is carried to the greatest extremes, foresee the result of the vote of the 18th. Our letters from Berne state that the activity of the Radicals was greater than that of the Conservative Liberals, mad that besides, dis tress, which is this year severely felt in the country, may assist the Radicals, for, as every one has a vote, it is to be feared that the poor will vote for the revocation. If, however, the Conservative party is to fall, there is reason to suppose that it will not do so readily, and that serious collisions may be the result of the victory of the thoilvre Radicals, and lead to a federal intervention." A number of pickpockets were arrested on Easter Sunday for carrying on their vocation during the celebration of divine service in different churches.

The market closed firmly with a good demand from the trade. The sales were 7.000 American, 250 Pernam and Ma ranham, at 54d. to 621., 200 Egyptian at 64d. to 7id., and 500 Surat at 341. to 44(1. per lb.—Railway Shares were very firm at higher prices. The markets re-opened yesterday for public sales, and a fair number have been held. Coffee has gone lower, and sugar has not met with free buyers. Rum, cocoa, and tea have also been heavy. At the public sales a very small proportion of the 13,200 packages offered was taken by the trade. Cotton has been inactive. The Brazilian meal hringa information of a fair busi ness in exchanges. On the 16th ult. the rate for bills on London was 27d. The pacification of Buenos Ayres seems to be entire. Mica is said to be so abundant in some of the Aus tralian gullies and creeks, that a dray load, in lumps almost resembling blocks, may be procured in a short time, and without much searching. A few days ago a sample was forwarded to town, in order to its being tested, the discoverer being in doubt whether it was not the very identical metal out of which the twenty-shil ling sovereign is coined. The sample was contained in a Lucifer-match box, end consisted of light particles of the mica, accompanied by a message that if that were gold a dray could soon be loaded with it at the place where it was found. At Amsterdam, on the 14th instant, the market for Dutch Stock was feebler. The Two•and-a-Half per Cents. closed at 614. Portuguese and Mexican were not so good.

French Three per Cents. are 71.624, with the Exchange at 25.41. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. have been 624. Sardinian Bonds are dull at 97 to .

We advise all who have, and those who have not, witnessed the representation of one of the most success ful of modern dramas, different versions of which are being produced at most of our metropolitan theatres, to witness the very clever extravaganza the Camberwell Brothers, which, with great expense and care has been brought before the public at this neat and comfortable place of amusement. Th e d resses an d scenic illustrations are magnificent and ple as i ng i n th e low respectable audience, offend vulgarity, and everything t correct and refined taste, and the presence of much that i s pl eas i ng an d amusing. can be appreciated by a London audience (and 1 we know they can), then we venture to predict for the Mystic Camberwell Brothers a popularity and success, which, to say the least, will be equal both in degree and duration to the Brothers of Corsica. The Royal Mail steamer Niagara brings the usual mails and 33 passengers, amongst whom is Mr. Chandler, member of the Government of New T Brunswi c k. M r. H owe , the Provincial Secret ar y of .ova Scotia, f o ll ows i n the Canada. These gentlemen, with Mr. llincks, Inspector- General of Canada (now in London), will form a delegation invited to confer with the Imperial Government on the sub ject of the protaosed great trunk line of railway from Halifax to Quebec. The seVeral Legislatures of these provinces have recently passed the necessary Acts for the construction of this great national work, to promote a successful issue of which long-wished for and anxiously looked f or d es id eratum th e a b ove - name d honourable gentlemen have been pre-eminently energetic. DEATH OF LORD PANMURE.--Thia nobleman (the announcement of whose death ,rg appeared in The S u n of yes terday) y , ) was the e, the eighth Earl of Dalbousie, and while t he elder so n inherited the Dalhousie andes second son then o f th e (I ll e o o n.William Ramsay, suc ceeded, through his grandmother, to the Panmure title and estates, changing his paternal surname to that of Maule, and also his armorial bearings for those o f t h e ancient fam il y o f H that name. Ile had great influence in Forfarshire, from his extensive property, and he represent e d t h at county i n th e House of Commons until his life elevation to ahe peerage in 1831. warm supporter of the Whigs, fie w was ss on throughout m andwith most of the old leaders of that party. In his earlier y ears he was a great patron of the t u rf, an d was in the habit, at race meetings and such occasions,in all indulging, w ith his aria tocratic companions, all kinds of practical jokes—some of the more outré of which are still remembered with great zest in various districts of Scotland. For many years the declining state of his health caused him to retire from public life, and in his retirement at Brechin Castle he confined his attention to the exercise of an unostentatious, but judicious charity. With all his many mumble qualities, ho had much infirmity of temper, which led to the entire estrangement of his family from him for a long series of years. He is suc ceeded in his peerage and estates by his eldest son, the Right Hon. Fox Mauls. This will create an immediate vacancy in the representation of the city of Perth, where there will, in all likelihood, be a keen contest between the Hon. Arthur Kinnaird and Mr. Charles Gilpin, the London bookseller. It will also cause some disarrangement in the position of matters in the county of Forfar, for which Mr. Fox blaule had offered himself as a candidate at the approaching gene ral election. His brother, the Hon. Colonel Lauderdale Maule, is expected now to be the Liberal candidate for that county. DEATH OF Ma. FRANK FORSTER.—Mr. Frank Forster, recently the engineer to the Metropolitan Commis sioners of Sewers, died suddenly on Tuesday. He was in the act, of writing a letter when he was struck with apo plexy, and almost immediately expired. His health had been much impaired by the harassing fatigues and anxieties of official duties, which were not lightened to him by the want of harmonious support within the board. Mr. Forster became connected early in life with the eminent engineer, Mr Robert Stephenson, and was associated with him in some of his greatest works, beginning with the London and Birmingham Railway, when railway engineering was yet struggling out of infancy, and ending with the Chester and Holyhead Railway, when the science and practice may be considered to have almost reached their climax in the Britannia-bridge. In these works, and others between, he was in responsible office, second only to the chief whom he delighted to serve, and it was, as is generally understood, chiefly on Mr. Stephenson's recommendation, based upon so long experience of the man, and backed by other engineers of the first rank, that he was appointed ,to the honourable post he lately:resigned. Yesterday a Court of Directors was held in the East India House, when the new directors elected on Wed nesday last—viz., William Butterworth Bayley, .Esq.,o Russell Ellice, Esq., Sir Richard Jenkins, G.C.B.,_lt s s 5 Donnelly Mangles, Esq., M.P., John Masten aona,t_Eacly M.P., and Major John Arthur Moore, took the was oath and their seats.

During the present week the arrivals of English W heat, coastwise. have been under 3,000 quarters, in excellent condition. Fresh up to-day the receipts of that grain by land cirriago were small; and the total show of samples of both red and white was limited. On the whole, the factors were firm, and a fair quantity of home-grown Wheats changed hands at Monday's prices. For forward delivery, there was rather more inquiry. Only 240 quarters of foreign Wheat have reached us. lected qu.lities sold at lull quotations. In the mid-. dling and inferior kinds very little business was transacted. Floating cargoes off the coast were neg lected. Egyptian Wheat was offering at 28s. per quarter. A very limited quantity of both English and foreign. Barley was brought forward. The trade may be consi dered steady at late rates. In Malt, the supply of which was very moderate, exceedingly little was doing.. In prices no change took place. The Oat trade was hrm, and previous quotations were well supported. Beans, Peas, and Indian Corn ruled dull; but we had an im proved consumptive demand for Flour. A.RKIVALS TIIIS WEEK. Wheat. Barley.

Mr. MALINS, on behalf of the Solicit or t o th e plaintiff. begged to say that on their part there was not the slightest knowledge in the matter.
