If any eviden ce were want i ng i n support o f this position—it would be sufficient to demand the attend- an , ..ie of the R eg i s t rar -G enera l b e f ore a Corn. vaittee of the Huse of Commons—and the country would soon l earn f rom th e li ps o f t h at i n t e ll igent an d "Perienced official the good likely to accrue from the alteration, proposed by the ad voca t es o f san it ar y im arovix,ent.

Take one tion of the need of thesei l arge sanitary improve inta of tbe v ery latest o f t h ese reports proof i , and bear n mind W bile g l ancing down the lint of particulars that the drea dful scou r e o f the Asiatic cholera has again appeared in the eastern states of the European Continent.Rememberingßemembering this cir.-cumstance, and preserving in re collecti on t h e fact o f t h e very fearful ravages caused by the evi. demi () in Warsaw, we cannot but observe the state ment made by the Registrar-General with pe _ curiar feeli ngs , amoun ti ng in intensity almost to tho se oi conster n a t i on. T urn i ng to this official report, therefor e , o f the mortality in the metropolis, we find in th e s i ngle division referred to, that within seven days 'ther e were eight deaths by " cholera, and fifty three. by scarlatina." The cholera, it is true, was lot. the vir u l ent di.ease known as the Asiatic, but that ewer, though still often fatal, attack of a similar kind which has unhappily in a great measure been gradually rendered indigenous. WheJler termed the English Cholera or the Summer Cholera—the disease in question proved itself in the week to which we are here making allusion, in all respects sufficiently formidable. It carried off one person i n th ree days at Paddington, another in five I days a t Chelsea, another in a week at BeloTavia, an other in a w ee k at St. Giles's, anoth er in t ° wenty four-lariatrs at Whitevroas-street , another i n twe l ve I 1 THE SUN, hours at Bethnal-green, another in four days at Bromley, and another by the " cholera infantum" at K•msineon These were the eight C4SeS within seven days, and in the catalogue it will be perceived that we have particularly it incised. two of the localities because we could not but be struck with their juxta-position in the Registrar• General's Report as in the highest degree significant. It is another evidence, if any additional ore be required, that the cholera finds equally ready access into St. Giles and into Belgravia. In the same Report, from which we have already quoted, the Registrar-General mentions a variety of details in regard to the mortality in the capital, showing the urgent demand of sanitary improve ments. Besides the eight cases of English or Summer Cholera before enumerated, we find the record within the same week of upwards of a hundred deaths by diarrhoea—sixteen adults and eighty-nine children l Referring to three out of the fifty-three deaths by scarlatina already specified, the Registrar- General remarks that these three deaths occurred in one house at Raton, and adds, " In that house there are frequently very offensive smells , a risin g from im perfect drainage, and having a tendency to p roduce in fectious disease. The above cases were in a state of collape wh e n the medical attendant was first called in. The fatal results might have been prevented by proper attention to cleanlines s and seasonable medical aid." At Walham-green , again, where one of th e fatal cases of diarrhcei bad occurred, it is stated that the houses in the locality " are crowded to exces s ; each room in nearly every case is occupied by a family of from four to six or seven individuals, There is no drainage, and the smells are most offensive- Diarrhoea is v er y prevalent th ere now" —the local registrar adding," Th e me di ca l officer of the Walham- green district informs me that the whole of his district is suffering severely from Aiarrhass and a low sort of fever, which he attributes to preventable causes, such as the overcrowding of cot tages, want of ventilation, a n d deficiency of sanitary arrangements.'' U nfortunately the same ghastly tokens of the want of these neglected improvements are discoverable in almost every lane, and nearly every garret in the metropolis. Testimony of this, we re peat, is contained, week after week, in the important sad impressive returns of the Registrar-General. Hitherto we have looked, but, alas ! in vain, to the Legislature for the desired improvements. Now that 3 Cabinet has been formed that stands in need of ex- tending its popularity by patriotic efforts in the way of innovation, perhaps we may count somewhat more confidently upon receiving the boon of a new and adequate sanitary organization from the hands of her MAJESTY'S Government. It is matter for surprise and regret that other Chambers of Commerce have not followed the ex ample set them by that of Belfast—of actively taking measures for the reduction of the foreign wine duties. The countries—France, Germany, Spain, and Por tugal—from which we principally import wine, un fortunately and unwisely maintain tariffs hostile to the produce of British industry and skill. We fear that, while they do this, our Government will not feel called upon to reduce the duty on wine. It is now five shillings and sixpence a gallon, and a duty of one shilling, with the increased consumption which would certainly follow, would speedily make the re duction no loss to the Treasury. In the course of last Session the House of Com mons appointed a Committee to inquire into, and to take evidence upon this question. The result of the inquiry is embodied in the following :—First : The high duty now imposed encourages adulteration, by ~, hich the revenue suffers. The public pay dearly for an impure article, and the general health is im paired by the use of deleterious compositions sold for wines. Second : A low duty would prevent those evils ; the revenue ( judging by analogy from . all former experience) would speedily recover itself, and in crease. Third : A diminution in the consump tion of spirits would ensue, and a conse quent improvement in the moral condition of the working classes, who would thus enjoy, at a cheap rate, sound and wholesome beverages. Fourth : A large export of British manufactured goods would take place to the wine growing countries, it being a sine qua non in granting the reduction of the duty upon foreign wines that the countries so favoured should at the same time admit British manufactured goods at a corresponding low duty. This sine qua non, by the way, involves the whole question of reciprocity. It is unjust that, the rate of duty being the same upon good as upon inferior wines, the rich man, who can afford the first cost of seven francs for a bottle of the best wine, has to pay no more duty upon it than is payable upon a bottle of drinkable yin ordinaire, the cost price of which is sixteen sous, and which ought to be sold in this country at about fifteen-pence. The large and uniform duty has the effect now of making adulteration almost inevitable ; and it is a curious fact that whereas the vendors of other taxed articles are generally anxious for the reduction of duties, on the natural expectation of increased profits from larger calls, the wine trade neither ask nor want a reduction of the duties on wine—for more is made by the present mixings, and adulterations, and "adapting the wine to the English palate," than they could expect to make in the regular course of business without " these means and appliances to boot." If foreigners expect that we shall reduce these duties, without their admitting British manufactures at corresponding low rates, they cherish a vain expecta tion. Mr. DISRAELI has a uthoritatively announced that be will consent to no such thing. If foreigners want to multiply their wine exports by ten or twelve, they must commence by making their tariffs friendly to us. Of all the wine producing countries, Portugal alone has an idea of entering into a liberal system of commercial policy. It is stated that several impor tant modifications of ber tariff are proposed, one of which would reduce the export-duty on port wine from 6W. per pipe to 63., which would speedily lead to the total abolition of that duty. But more than this must be done. The "protective" duties, in Portugal, against British manufactur es and produce, range at from 50 to 1 00 per to th e Contraband trade is the inevitable result, great l oss o f th e P o rtuguese revenue. We re commend Portugal to be " up and stirring" in this matter of reduced 1 where it is insao popular in on imports to and exports from Gr eat Brit course o by French wines. Port wine, however "tawny," is by no m eans pu f lar in this country as it was, It may f rau d u l en tly su ppla n t e d anxiousma to become the policy of France—avowedlyliberal oconciliate and stand we ll with England —to adopt a system of com mercial policy, which would is w a and produce.

In a few years, the purer wines ° M an ce will have been substituted for "the intoxicating dark fluid" (immortalized by g itummzes significant description), which has so long been sup plied to us by Portugal. and stronglycon n been bss dern ln n t e r d am . upraulbbliucrioapl opinion a s c e c t u i s n e d s , o tried,v very ry against it, that even the Legis lature, always slow in its onslaught against proved abuses, and always tardy in measures of reform, has solemnly denounced it by indeed require, Statute. The health of the living does and even demand, that future intermen ts shall take place out of town. With the unhappy p robability of a visitation, next year, from the Cholera—which has been among us, like a devastating plague, twice dur ing the last twenty years—it especially behoves the Public to see that proper and efficient means of extz amural burial be supplied ; and we are happy to find that great desideratum judiciously pro vial Jul. The London Necropolis and National Mauso leu rn A4sociation have purchased 2,000 acres at W"king Common, in Surrey, about six-and-twenty mLles from town, and accessible, by the South- We stern Railway, in five-and-twenty minutes from London. Of this, one thousand acres will imme diately be set apart for the reception of the mortality of the metropolis. On Tuesday a numerous company, chiefly consist. ing of the represkntatives of metropolitan parishes, to get, 'ter with clergymen of various persuasions, went to , wo king, on the invitation of the above-named Asso ciat. 1 , :ln, to inspect the site of this proposed Necropolis. i An is lea which had got abroad, that the low awampy grow, ad opposite the Woking station was the site of the. it tended burial-ground, was speedily removed, LONDON, for the common is a table land about 100 feet above the railway level, and i , s geological formation makes it " dry" as well as " nigh." Ps elevation will have the advantage, too, of excluding the Necropolis from the view of railway passengers, as the line runs through the company's land in a deep cutting, so that the burial-ground rises far out of view. The vast area on which the primary operations will be commenced possesses many advantages, one of which is its great salubrity. Another is that, like a pa norama, it commands a series of extensive and pictu resque views. A third, that its distance from Lon don renders it most unlikely that, at any time, how ever remote, it can be built up to. And, a fourth, and not the least important, is the fact that, including the expense of railway transit, even the burial of paupers will be less expensive at Woking than it now is in a metropolitan burial ground. The design is that each parish, each district, or each religious com munity, shall have its own distinctive place of sepul ture, and that, instead of presently expending money in the purchase of separate burial grounds, which would involve the parishes in debt, and lead to the increase of local taxation, the pay ments to the Necropolis Association shall be made by contract, according as the interments take place. This saving of expense is a very striking feature, and one which must particularly recommend the undertaking to the parochial authorities. A primary outlay of 1,000,0001., and an annual expenditure of 80,000/., will be saved to the parishes by their contracting with the Necropolis Association for the interment of their dead. To the living will be the comfort of knowing that the national burial-ground cannot, at any future time, or under any circumstances, be liable to the desecration which is so constantly taking place in intramural places of interment, where the black mould, saturated with the decayed and decaying mortality of centuries, is constantly carted off to make room for modern " improvements: , Henceforth, at the Woking Necropolis, the rights of mortality will be respected. The parishes of the west and south of the metropolis will probably be glad to avail themselves of the advantages offered by this new Cemetery. Those of the north and east may have their wants provided for elsewhere. But the area at Woking—consisting of an extent of 2,000 acres, three miles in length by half a mile in breadth—is suffi cient to contain all the dead of the metropolis for centuries to come. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris papers of yesterday. Some of them contain long biographical notices of the Duke of WELLINGTON, and annex to them com ments. It is with satisfaction we see that, with one exception, the Ministerial journals speak of the illus trious deceased in terms which show that they have more regard for truth and propriety than for any popularity that they would gain among a certain class of readers. The language of the Constitutionnel 18 more than fair, it is even complimentary. This journal,indeed, pretends that the victory of Water loo throws no lustre upon the military talent of the Duke, and that it was the result of good fortune arising from an error of judgment ; but this depre ciation will excite only a smile, and the language which follows shows that it was with no ill will to the Duke, but as a consolation to wounded national pride that it was used. The Constitutionne/ says : " The most competent judges have admitted that the dispositions of Napoleon meet have infallibly succeeded, that victory was on our side until the arrival of the Prussians, and that the Duke of Wellington had com mitted an enormous fault in placing his army in such a position that it could not retreat. Let us, however, be just to every one. The fault of Lord Wellington power fully served his cause. In placing his soldiers in such a manner that they must either conquer or be de stroyed, he gave additional force to that justly re nowned solidity of the English troops. He himself set them an example of determination carried to the length of heroism, and of obstinacy which became a military quality. Six hundred officers fell around him, and 10,000 soldiers perished before his eyes. The Cui rassiers of Kellerman, the old Guard, under Ney, fell on the immovable squares, and his regiments dis appeared one after the other, crushed beneath the avalanche of men and horses. Lord Wellington on horseback, behind the English lines, in the midst of a terrific fire, his countenance calm and serene, though with an air of sadness, replied to ono of his generals, who said to hint, But if you should be struck, tell us what is your plan." My plan , he replied, consists in dying here unto the last man. Lord Wellington was an English general in the fall acceptation of the word, cool, calm, methodical, without enthusiasm, but without any false brilliancy, sure of himself, confident in his soldiers, and always firm both in good and bad fortune. L has been justly remarked, that in the numerous dis patches which he published, and which form twelve enormous volumes, the word glory never occurs. His only dominant passion was love of his country. His conduct and his character msy be summed up in a word — he was a Pitt on horseback." The Pays says— " The name of the Duke of Wellington was Euro pean. The vast events in which he was mixed up, the immense part which he played during many long ) ears in the destinies of the world, the eminent place which he occupied in the councils of the Crown in England, and the great authortty which he exercised over his party in Parliament, have made this personage one of the most remarkable of our time. Thu news of his death will produce a profound sensation in Europe." The Patrie is an exception to the good feeling manifested by the other Ministerial journals. In closing its biographical sketch of the Dule of WEL LINGTON, it says— " The Duke of Wellington died full of days, over whelmed with honours, with pensions and sinecures; but in descending into the tomb, he must have carried with him the painful certainty that the undertaking to which he devoted his rare faculties was dead; and that the liberty for which he had refused to draw the sword had triumphed everywhere, in his own country, first of all, and in the rest of the world after wards ; and, to complete his disappointment, that the great name of Napoleon, which he had believed buried for ever under the pyramid of Mont-Saint-Jean, with the honour of Frauce, had risen more full of life and more popular than ever." The article in the Siede is by no means ungene rous. We extract as follows : " We have not the pretension to appreciate, in a few hasty lines, such an occupied existence. We confine our selves for to-day to noticing the differences which exist in the spirit and therelations of the two nations, between the present time and that at which enthusiastic England sa luted the more than doubtful conqueror of Waterloo. The ardent rivalities, the hatreds of centuries, have be come appeased. France and England have realised im mense progress in all the branches of human activity. The Duke of Wellington was, during the first period of his life, the last representative of the fatal animosities which so long armed one against the other, the two powerful nations whose accord is now neces sary to the march of civilisation. The sword—it is to be hoped at least—has for ever been sheathed. The fields of battle, on which France and England have so fiercely contended, have become transformed, and the pacific conflicts of manufactures and commerce have suc ceeded to sanguinary contests. In our eyes the Duke of Wellingtun's best title to glory is, that he understood in the latter years of his life this striking transformation, and identified himself with the spirit of the century. We will make no other reflections in the presence of the tomb in which the old general is about to descend. In 1815 he went abcut Paris with five cockades in his hat, as the tTloniteur of those days relates; and the cos tnopolitism which he then displayed had a signification which no doubt he did not divine, but which had a pro phetic character. The union of nations, whose symbols he wore, tends every day to become a truth." The Dibats gives a short biography of the Duke without comment. The Assemblie National, the Union, and the Univers merely give the telegraphic dispatch announcing the death. The Government has received the following tele graphic dispatches : " B airges, Sept. 14, 11 o'clock at night. ill , u i ra T i h n e at P ed. rince proceeded on foot from the Archiepis caofptearlwPaarldasceintton_tthnee ballatthe Prefecture, in the midst of a Population in enthusiasm.

It enacts that that Chamber shall con sist of 120 nated by the e l ectora l co ll eges , an d 30, represen ti n g members ; of whom 90 are to be nomi the great towns, by the Communal Councils. The number of electors in each college is to be 30 for every member to be elected ; and the electors are to be those persons who in each district pay the highest amount of direct taxes. To be eligible, a candidate must be 40 years of age, must have belonged during fire years at least to Prussia, must be domiciled in the place i n w hi ch the e l ec ti on i s ma d e , an d mus t possess all th e qua lifi ca ti ons required i n comm u n al elections.

The C o l ogne Gazette states th a t th e Milit a ry Com mission, charged by the Austrian Government to make a report on the forces of the Germanic Confe deration, has d rawn up it s r e p o rt, and that it contains details as to the disposable force that Germany would possess to resist any attempt at invasion by France. According to the Cologne Gazette, the report estimates the amount of the army that France could send against Germany at 500,000 men, and states that the Germanic Confederation has also 500 ,000, but that 200,000 of these would be requirefi by Austria for the protection of Italy. The Cologne Gazette adds that some of the states of the German Confederation have recommended an augmentation of 150,000 men, but that Prussia and Austria object to any increase, regarding the present force as quite sufficient under ex i s ti ng c ircumstances. Thi s journal does not state from what source it derives its infor mation, and our readers will probably do well not to attach implicit credit to it. A letter from Vienna says :—" From the Ist of October next the mails between Austria and France will no longer be sent by Vienna, Inspruck, and Bale, but by Vienna, Leipsic, Frankfort, Carlsruhe, and Strasburg.

This morning intell i gence was received in London, which it m m o ay de be in h wfairilcyh supposed will settle the question as to the the remains of the late Duke of Wellington will body will be remov ed from Walmer Castle House to-morrow morning. It has already been placed in a lead en sh ell for that purpose. Mr. Holland, the undertaker, has received the necessary directions fur the re moval of the body, and intends leaving London this evening in order to carry out his instructions. The will lam been opened, and it has been found that his Grace has expressed a wish that his mortal remains may be disposed of as the Sovereign may direct; and under these circumstances it is nut difficult to s uppose what will b e t h e d ec i s i on o f h er Majesty upon the subject. The public funeral of the de ceased hero will doubtless be conducted on a scale of great magnificence. It is supposed that his Grace's remains will be brought from Walmer Castle to Apsley House by a special train along the South-Eastern Railway. THE LATE DUKE OF WELLINGTON.—The sym pathy displayed in Deal and Walther on receiving intelli gence is amply participated in by orders of the metropolis ; seems anxiously waiting to re ceive from authority an order for a General Mourning. Whether that will take place or not we cannot learn, but of this we are certain, that no great personage to be met with in the records of ancient or modern times was more deserving of such a public expression. From the activity, however, exhibited in certain great houses in Regent-street, which supply mourning for the elite and the many, and especially from what we see going on at the house of Messrs. Jay, we are sure that there will be a very general demonstration of this public loss through the medium of mourning attire. Morning Paper. THE OVERLAND MAIL.—ACCIDENT TO THE AUSTRIAN LLOYD'S STEAMER AUSTRALIA.—The dletzeiger Zeitung of Sept. 11 has the following :—" We have just re ceived intelligence that the new Ll. , yd's steamer Australia, which set out on her first voyage to Alexandria on the 27th of last month, met with un accident. After having per formed the voyage to Corfu in an unusually short time (38 hours), the left wheel unfortunately broke, on the 30th, just as the vessel had reached Cape Crio, in Caudia, and she was therefore obliged to return to Corfu, where she landed her passengers and the mail, to wait there for the next steamer. Unhappily, this delay will likewise affect the Netherlands mail, which was forwarded by the Australia, and we must be content with receiving our news from IndiaC and China, in this solitary instauce , happily, by way of Marseilles, in stead of receiving it as usu al on the 2Uth. An old legend, however, current among seamen, accounts for the accident— though not exactly upon scientific principles. The accident mainly occirred because the Australia left Trieste on a Friday, and had, moreover, a Franciscan monk on board— a combination most assuredly enough to sink the vessel." DEATH OF THE CENTENARIAN, JAMES COLEMAN, OF ST. MARTIN'S-IN-TIIE-FIELDS.—ThiB very Old man departed this life, in fu ll possession of his faculties, ,on Wednesday evening, at hal f p ast seven o'clock, having at tained the great age of 102 years 7 months.

ROYAL BUCKS AGRICULTURAL ASSOCIATION. —The annual dinner of the members and subscribers of the R o y a l Bucks Agricultural Association was held yesterday, at the Swan and Castle Inn Buckingham. The Chancellor of the Exchequer was to have been present, but Mr. Howard, the secretary of the society, received a letter from the Right Hon. Gentleman, stating that it would be impossible for him to attend, as he was so overwhelmed with business pre paratory to the approaching session of Parliament, that he could not spare a moment either for health or recreation. The Right Hoe. Gentleman enclosed a cheque for the " Disraeli Prize," and also for his annual subscription. Alt% Box (the May. r of Buckingham) occupied the chair, and the attendance of members was very numerous. After the usual loyal toasts had been disposed ef, the rewards to farm servants were distributed, and the judges made their awards in favour of the successful competitors in the ploughing matches, &c. The Right Hon. William Beresford, the Secretary at War, according to precedent pelf° , ms the functions ap.. pertaining to the office of Commander-in -Chief of the Forces, until a succe s s or t o t h e Duke of Wellington shall be ap pointed.—Herald.

CITY, TWO O'CLOCK. The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti mated at 7,000 bales, of which 2,000 American were taken for export and on speculation. The market was tame but closed firmly; American were a shade higher, other kinds without alteration. The sales comprised 6,000 American, 150 Pernam and Maranham at 60. to 6id., 30 Bahia at 6i1., 150 Egyptian at 6-id. to 80., and 500 Surat at to 4.1. per lb.—Railway Shares were dull at lower prices. In most articles of consumption there has been a good business done this week, and prices have been fully sup ported for sugar, Ceylon cotlee, tea, rice, &c. The con sumption goes on steadily. A merchant ship, the Lleliae, has arrive from Port Philip, but her advices are not of such late date as those previously to baud. In the ordinary course, unless the India mail anticipates it, we ought now to expect later news by sailing vessels, and in November the steamer of the Royal Australian Mail Company will be back. It is then that we shall , in all prob a bilit y, h ave important information concern. ing the gold mines, because the staffs of some of the companies, sent out at an early period will have got to work, and be enabled to form an opi nion as to their future success. Under proper manage ment, indeed, no one can doubt of this, but the public will very naturally be anxious to have facts and results, and, quiescent as they may be at pre sent, they would manifest great ardour, we may assume, as they usually do when a rich reward appears to invite.
