L e t me first of all enumerate facts. a i L I. . o n e A S n t a e r w m a o n v d e c m o e ra n t. 1. Foolish, wicked, and inopportune as the Lopez expedition may have been, his fate was lamented by a large class of our people, and the resolution to avenge his death has never slept. lie was canonized as a martyr of liberty, and thousands who would never have justified his acts were ready to punish his executioners. Besides, with him perished ignominiously more than forty native-born Ameri cans, none of whom fell unwept or unremembered. Even the magnanimous pardon extended by her Catholic Majesty Isabella to the American prisoners who experienced her clemency finally resulted in a very different manner from what her Majesty or her advisers could have supposed. Those captives re turned to tell not the history of the rights they had infringed, but of the wrongs they bad suffered. Among them were men from almost every one of our 31 states. Each had near connexions and rela tions with thousands that knew and loved him ; and when these thousands of districts came to hear of the brutality of the Cuban Government—the death of Lopez in the public square by the garrote, and the shooting of half a hundred Americans in the back, after they bad been compelled to kneel—all these recitals stirred an indignation in the hearts of our people which cannot be appeased except by the ex termination of Spanish power from that island. 2. Tne folly and blunders which ended in the mis carriage of the Lopez expedition have been detected, and they will be avoided in this new movement. The Americans have lost all confidence in the Creoles— they will not admit them into their councils. — they will not trust them at all. lam pretty confi dent that not a single Creole has been adneitted to the secret society of the. Lone Star. They are regarded as traitors. It was, in fact, clearly proved that Lopez had been betrayed; otherwise he would not have landed with so small a force, nor where he did, nor at that particular time. He was led into an ambush ! Americans have confidence in one another, but no body any longer believes the word of a Cuban°. S o the Americans will keep their own counsels, they will 3. his head their own expedition, and they will go more com pletelywas an n xpedition is a invaders ever could have gone at any other period of the world's history. They will not awry Cdlt's ri fles, which hold but six rounds, but Jenning's prepared for the contest than any company of (re cently invented), which carry 24 charges, and can, m in a 60 seconds. e n P o e f ri t e h n e c m ed d ia e a sp n e d r e a be t sThouht_e-24_times in less than man to its company Lopez' impromptu and a shabby affair!' His men were hastilveheOset social standing is not a y picked Lone Star admits no fair pledge of his honour, gz r a , t j a e n n d . of the courage, and intelli gence. No organization same number has probably ever been formed in erica in which there was so much wealth and characilite can raise millions on call, but they represented. They p com g p e l n e e t r e allP r need it, for by their regulations every member not likely to butes a certain sum into the comymorr;ber contri month or quarter ; and, numbering as the bone every men now probably do, 25.000, their fund alreadyone Star said to exceed half a million; the institution is yet six months old. Again, the Lone Star is k i p s not to embrace many of the most influential, opulent, and distinguished men in the United States. Lopez had not a single man of wealth or public reputation with him. So far as close scrutiny could do it, not a worthless or untrustworthy man out of 25,000 has yet been allowed to pass the threshold of this extraordi nary order. 4. Besides the wealth and social respectability of their members, they have a large number of influen tial editors on their side ; and multitudes who will never join them sympathise with their cause. Among these are the myriads whose friends and relations suffered in the Lopez expedition, who have kindled a flame in almost every county in the Union, which can and will, at the proper moment, burst into a general conflagration. 5. The Administration of the new Captain-General has borne so heavily upon the island that a far greater amount,pf discontent exists'now than at any forme, period. General Concha, the late Governor, was a modern man, of which Suin has had so few. His arrival was the daybreak of a brighter period for Cuba. So everybody said ; so everybody believed. He entered at once on the path of wise, gradual, judicious reforms. He held out expectations of amelioration in all departments of the Government. He nearly ruccesded in annihilating the most offensive and the most oppressive monopolies of the islands. He proved himself an honest, as incor ruptible man. But the chiefest and greatest and boldest of all his reforms was to put an end to the slave trade. This was the first time the attempt had ever been successfully made. Could he have re mained in power one year longer, he would have utterly exterminated that accursed traffic. But, on authority welch I cannot reject , I learn that the suspension of those crimes and abuses so materially diminished the revenues of the Crown that this faith- ful and upright servant was recalled. Another and less scrupulous man fills the place, who bas gone back to the old system ; and now crime, corruption, and villany fill the island, and the slave trade has not been in so flourishing a state for twenty-five years. You may not have this latter fact immediately confirmed by other testimony, but you will soon. There has not been, during the memory of the present genera tion, so cruel and tyrannical a Government in Cuba. So say the Cubans, Span . iard:4, and Creoles ; so say our American travellers; and so say the crowded castles and dungeons of the island. Under the plea that our occupation of Cuba would end the slave trade there, the Northern States would join in and justify the movement; rind with the knowledge that Cuba would bring to the South nearly a million of slaves, the Soutbein States would du the same thing; while all Americans and all friends cf liberty every where, would rfjoice if so fair and fertile an island should (without crime or blood) fall under the mild and benignant sway of a powerful and well-organized Republic. So say the Lone St,2r mt.n ; and there is certainly some force iii all this. It at all events, persua sive, and every day brings them the adhesion of hundreds. 6. Now, let us look at some arrested,`u--t' yesterday public feeling in confirmation of all this. 1 that Archbishop Hughes, of New York, n being re quested by the Lone Star men, Lopez say and ' his brave the eternal repose of the souls of i n dubitable .. ! t ig s ti e s em o s f companions, fallen in the struggle preach a sermon on the although the prelate refused have similar religious occasion. Also in New Orleans , d which indicate that the for l3 ' Cuban liberty ;" ceremonies been performed which and countenance of Lone Star men have the sympathy the Catholic Chur of an approaching revolution. cates the 7. The p e ro r . e b 7 l, l ls 0 iteihts;tate of the island of Cuba indi Nearly or euttoef persons have been arrested in the island, and are now in the various Par s prisons of in • Voice of the People of printing the o f Havannah. Nine young men who were e r y ng h 9 a ge clandestine revolutionary iheet, have been s that they are all to be and a telegraphic s dispatch from New Orleans The present Governor Caneda has made garroted.. his reeolution to show no mercy to any per sonsknown announce engaged in any conspiracy against his authority --" They snail all suffer the garrote, with every in dignitty known in the annals of justice." No doubt exists that there was a determination to rise on the 31st of August, but the deteo ion of large qua n ti t i es of arms and ammunition in various parts of the island hes probably delayed the insurrection. But it is only for a while. Continual di s t ur b ances will occur, and the severity of the Capt a i n -G eneral will only render inflame the still revolution lucre deeply the pop u l ar i ndignation, andnot only inevitable but more merciless when it court s. It is said, on pretty good authority, that the negroes will join the conspi rators, and if independence can be gained in no other way there is to be a massacre of the popula tion. Certain it is that th e Cubans are b en t 011 achieving their indepe n d ence ; and they know that whenever they have once risen they can d epen d on substantial aid from t h e Lone Star men o f th e United States. As thin gs now look it seems , Spanish heighlyprobable that a bloody s t ruggle is approaching. of the Times. —Corresp,ondent Mt RT H- E —LY CLOSING AssOCIATION. — A numerously attended meeting ofemployers and assistants , residing within the north-western districtsof the metropolis, was held yes terday evening, ant L aw son's Rooms , Gow er-street, to t ake into conside rat i on the best means o f p romotin g the early closing o f shops generally, and for the transaction of other business. Mr. Eiliker occupied the chair. The financial statement cf the association showed that, up to Jane, 1852, the receipts of the association had been 909/. 16s. 10d. The payments amounted to 4981. rs. 2d., leaving a balance in the hands of the bankers of 410/. 19s. Bd. The Chairman, in opening the business of the meeting, stated that the mon strous system which the shop assistants laboured under a vigorous movement to check it. The moral, physical, long since have been swept away if th e y had all ,an d intellectual evils of the late hour system were ifsuch the public really knew of their extent, they wou ld not tolerate them a mo ment.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. St. joined in that, Clair proposed the first resolution, which pledged the meet ing to do all in its p ower t o che ck the system of late closing. M r . Shipton seconded the resolution, which was carried una nimously, and several other gentlemen having addressed the meeting, the proceedings terminated.

MOSES and SON'S buyers, and the novelty, quality, and price of the goods offered to them in preference to any other Establishment, Induced them to give the earliest orders on their usual n_agniflcent scale. These new materials, for every description of Dress, are now sub mitted to the incomparable skill of distinct classes of artists, British and Foreign, in the employ cf E. MOSES and SON, and will shortly be presented in novel styles, surpassing every other invention. E.

MVTERIOUS AFFAIR ON BOARD A DUTCH STEAMER. —On Monday afternoon information was forwarded to Mr. W. Pae, coroner for the City, of the subjoined mysterious occur rence , which took place on board the screw-steamer Magnet, trading between New Dieppe, Holland, and the port of London. It appears that the Magnet arrived from New Dieppe on Friday last, and was anchored off Brewer's quay, Lower Thames-street. Among her passengers was a man named Velticus Schadman, who had charge of several head of cattle, and shortly after the arrival of the vessel Schadman and another Hollander left to go ashore, and nothing more was seen of them until about six o'clock on the following morning (Saturday), when some of the crew of the vessel heard loud and pitiful groans proceeding from the hold. A search was made, and Schad man and the other Hollander were found lying in the hold of the vessel in a state of insensibility. They were both removed to St. Thomas's Hospital, where they were promptly attended to by the house surgeon, and every means was used to restore animation, but with success only in one case, Schadman, who never showed any signs of life, was suffering from a very severe fracture of the skull, and ex pired a short time after his admission. The other Hollander recovered, but was much uisabout the head and bod, and has since go ne back in the Magnet, to acquaint the friends of Schadman of his melancholy and untimely fate. The manner in which the two men got into the hold of the vessel and received the injuries from which Schadman died is at present shrouded is mystery, and cannot be unravelled until the return of his companion. However, directions have been given to hold the investigation this (Tuesday) evening, which will no doubt be adjourned until the return of the Magnet. EXTENSIVE ROBBERIES.

LANCASTER AND PRESTON. The annual general meeting of the shareholders of the Lancaster and Preston Junction Railway was held at Lancaster on Monday afternoon; Mr. J. Bushell, chairman of the board of directors, in the chair. There was a very full attendance of pro prietors. ThR yeagia t insistalenieut,,QL accounts, which Imp already been Puglisheci, having been taken as read, Thj CHAIRMAN moved the adoption of the report. Mr. Tvlooaa (a director) seconded the motion. Mr. KAYE (of Bury) said he found the maintenance of way on the Lancaster and Carlisle and the united railways amounted to a serious sum of money. For the half-year ending July 31st, 1851, it amounted to 8,0081. 144. 31.; for the half-year ending 31st of January, 1852, to 7,427/. ; making 15,4351. for one year's maintenance of way fur a distance of ninety miles. In the half-year ending the 31st of July, 1852, there was a slight reduction, the' cost being 6,968/. 35., or at the rate of 14,0001. a year. The directors had now taken the management of the maintenance of way into their own hands, but he suggested that the better and more economical plan would be to get some respectable contractor to take it for a certain number of years. The CHAIRMAN said it was in accordance with a very generally expressed wish on the part of the shareholders that the directors had taken the mainte nance of way in their own hands. Mr. GILLow (of Liverpool) asked if the majority of railways did not undertake the maintenance of way —the London and North-Western, East Lancashire, Midland, and others ? He commented at some length upon the constitution of the directory of the Lancas ter and Carlisle Company. At the last meeting of that company he and his friends bad proposed the appointment of a gentleman as director in the place of Mr. Marshall, M.P., but they bad been outvoted through the use of proxies procured by the board of directors. The CHAIRMAN said that he, as a director of the Lancaster and Carlisle Company, had never heard of proxies having been applied for until one was shown him the day before the meeting. After some discussion an this point, the motion for the adoption of the report was unanimously agreed to. The CHAIRMAN then proposed "that the follow ing dividends, after the rate of 7i per cent., be de clared and paid :—Each whole share, 1/. 15s. 7d. ; three-quarter share, 1/. 3s. 7d.; quarter share, 9s. 4d. ; twelfth share, 3s. ld. ; less income-tax." The motion was carried, and the directors (retiring by rotation) having been re-appointed, a vote of thanks was passed to the chairman, and the proceedings ter minated. DUTCH RHENISH. Yesterday a special meeting of shareholders was held at the Cotton Sales Room, Liverpool, for the purpose of taking into consideration the subjects to be brought before the general meeting of pro prietors to be held at Amsterdam on the Ist of Oc tober next. The report, of which the following is a summary, bad been circulated amongst the shareholders : The report embraced a detail of the financial and other measures which the direction considered most eligible to ensure the execution of the works prepara tory to the opening in April, 1855. The way from Arnbeim to the frontiers having been approved by the Minister of the Home Department, it was proposed to proceed immediately with the expropriations of land for the line. The disbursements required beyond the expropriations, were—The laying of a new line, narro w gauge, alongside the present one betweem Am sterdam and Utrecht, the removal of the latter to the section between Utrecht and Arnheim;and the alteration of the existing gauge on that section. The cost of this could be defrayed by the contribution of the 1,000,00011. receivable from Government. 2. The way from Arnbeim to the frontiers. Mr. Joseph had estimated the cost of a single line at 14 10 0 6 c , k 5 e 0 , 0 1\ 1 1 .; P" or 1,278,00011. ; indeed, a tender had been received from Mr. Brassey for this amount, and the direction considered that 120,0001., or 1,440,00011., would cover the whole cost. 3. The way from Utrecht to Rotterdam. The designs would have to be worked out afres h, but this would make no diffe rence in the estimated cost, which would amount, according to Mr. Brassey's estimate, to 190,0001., exclu s ive of the cost of signals, turn-tables, stations, &C. 4. The cost of materiel. This the directors estimate at 1,800,00011., or 150,0001., not including coal waggons. The requirements for opening the entire line will thus be as follows : Expropriation of Prussian Exten- fl. sion line and balance of Rotter dam line ... 960,000 80 000 Prussian Extension line contract... 1,440,000 120,000 Rotterdam line ditto ... 2,880,000 240,000 materiel 1,800,000 150,000 Total ...fl 7.080,000 £590,000 Of the above, 1,200,000f1, or 100,0001., will be im mediately required for expropriations, and for ratifi cation of contracts for delivery of materiel. The report goes on further to say, that the sum of 4,800,000 ff can be obtained from Government according to article 12 of the agreement entered into; and that only about 2,400,000f1. will remain to be found, of which sum 1,200,00011, or 100,0001., will be required for imme diate wants. It is recommended, that to obtain this sum, recourse should be had to the 2,415 stamped bonds in the loan of 9,000,000f1., in order to raise money on their security for the construction of the works. The direction did not intend to put those bonds again into circulation ; but they are of opinion that the end will be obtained, by depositing the bonds in the Bank of the Netherlands, under trust of two members in the direction, two Dutch, and two English commis saries, to be appointed by your meeting, and by is suing certificates in their place, for the same amount and at the same interest, at par, to be charged to con struction account till the opening of the way. Be sides this, there were 6,496 shares which had been declared forfeited. The foregoing estimates had been framed upon the most economical basis, but the directors anticipate such an increase of traffic as would warrant the laying of a double line throughout, the cost of which was estimated at 1,440,000f1., or 120,0001., and would be increased to 3,000,000f1., or about 250,0001., by the construction of a terminus at Rot terdam, a quay-wall at Amsterdam, &c. Negotiations had been opened with the Cologne and Minden Rail way Company, which company was charged with the construction of the line from Oberhausen to the Dutch frontiers, in order to come to an understanding on the different points requiring arrangement. The directors requested to be empowered to conclude an agreement as to the leasing of that part of the line between Emenerich and the Dutch frontiers. The rolling stock for the coal traffic would be provided at the joint expense of the two companies. Mr. CHARLES HOLLAND, the chairman, said the meeting had been convened by the English commis saries, with the full concurrence of the direction in Holland, in order that the shareholders in England might have an opportunity of conferring together upon the very important and momentous questions that arise in regard to the Dutch Rhenish Railway, as they could not have that opportunity in Amster dam on the Ist proximo ; and he thought the share holders would agree with them that it was extremely desirable they should have a full statement of the present position of their concerns, and likewise that they should come to resolutions as to what it was expedient to do with regard to the future. Although they were aware that the resolu tions this meeting might pass could not be clothed with any legal official character, there still could be no doubt, from the united purpose and perfect harmony which existed between the shareholders in England, and the directors in Holland, that that re &tilt would have due weight at head-quarters. And he was happy to think that that harmony; and united pu rpose .must have a due effect upon 'the public in England and Holland, and would give a still greater guarantee for the full and efficient carrying out of whatever resolutions they m i g h t determ i ne u pon. Here ho might pause for a m oment to cast a retrospec tive glance at the striking c on t rast b etween t h e i r pre tent position and what it form er l y exh ibi te d i n Liver pool.—(Hear, hear.) O n th e f ormer occas i on t h er e was nothing which could conduce to their confidence but now he was happy to say there were all the ele ments of success presented to them.—(Hear, hear.) They now started with public opinion both in Eng land and Holland in their favour.---(Hear, hear.) They now started with treaties made in Holland and with the Netherlands Government for carrying out the completion of the line; and with a credit that would enable them to complete their financial ar rangements without appealing to the pockets of the shareholders.—(Cheers.) All these features were such as fairly to lead to the conclusion that they should at least obtain a successful result with respect to the Dutch Rhenish Railway. They would ob serve that, as to the financial measures, the directors in Holland bad obtained a bill with powers to raise 200,0001. to complete the extension of the junction of the present line. As regarded the completion of the line from Utrecht to Rotterdam, which would cost about 400,0001., an arrangement was made with the years that it was expected to requi re i n construct i on , the Government bound itself to para very large sum of money as interest upon the capit a l that wou ld b e employed, amounting to about 30,0002 which wou ld Netherlands Government, by whi c h d uring the t wo :the funds them selves wherewith to complete that line. Th e Govern be paid to them if they chose to raise ; th e however, reserved the option of itself advancing that money-400,0001., without char g i ng interest, and that you should repay them in three y ears after the commencement of the worksHelBss and 1856. They - held the advantage - of the 'abl e and, friendly-, assistance of Mr. Locke, who, at their ur gent request , had sent over a responsible person to Holl an d to in spect the line minutely, and to form surv eys and plans of the whole works. He wished partic u l ar l y to point out the fact that they would have as their termini, on the side of the ocean, the two great ports of Rotter dam and Amsterdam, the latter the b eet port of Western Europe. In connexion with t h eir future miserableprospect prospects he fractionm i ght aolfludtheeto 57them fact that, o even on the line be tween Amsterdam and Arnheirn there was at present no absence of traffic.

Mr. BELOE read the following : " That the parties holding the English proxies at the ensuing meeting of the shareholders, to be held in Am sterdam the Ist of October, be hereby instructed and empowered to pass the following resolutions:— " 1. To receive and adopt the report of the direction to the meeting, and to consent to and support the three resolutions therein proposed. "2. To express the cordial approbation and concur rence of this meeting to the confirmation of the contract proposed to be made by the direction with Mr. Brassey tor the completion of the works, and to request the meeting of commissaries to that effect. "3. To authorise and request the meeting of com missaries to accord to Mr. Hesleden, the English resi dent director, an increase of salary of 2004 per annum, to commence with the present financial year, in con sideration of his increased duties and responsibilities. " 4. That the thanks of the meeting be given to the Dutch commissioners for their co-operation in bringing the agreement with Government to a successful issue. "5. That the thanks of the meeting be given to Mr. B. Donker Curtius, for his able vindication of the rights of the shareholders to a due control over the affairs of the company, and generally for his advice and exertions as president of the direction; and likewise to Mr. C. W. Hesleden, for his zeal and energy in promoting the interests of the company, and for the prominent part taken by him in the various negotiations with the Prus sian Government relative to the junction. That the following gentlemen be named as trustees for the purpose mentioned in article 1 of the resolutions proposed by the direction:--His Excellency Gerrit Count Schimmelpenninick, Jacob Ran van Gameren, Mr. Thomas Edwards Moss, Mr, William Allcard Mr. B. Donker Curtius, Mr. C. W. Ilesleden." , Mr. HESLEDEN submitted a statement of traffic which he had compiled, both present and prospective. From the comparisons and calculations which be had made, he had come to the coultiion that the de velopment of traffic on the Dutch 'Rhenish would be such as to realise about 20s. to 255. per share. This would not be realised in the beginning, because traffic was a thing of slow growth. Mr. LEWIN MOZLEY moved as follows :—That the cordial thanks of this meeting be presented to the English commissaries, and to their secretary, Mr. Henry C. Beloe ; and that a commitree consist ing of the following gentlemen, namely, Mr. Joseph Langton, Mr. Lewin Mozley, and Mr. C. LI. Jones, be appointed to confer with the shareholders as to the best method of testifying their high sense of the services rendered to the proprietors by the gentlemen referred to, who have so l ong and so ably protecte d the interests of the s h are h olders, and to whose labours the present i mproved aspect of the af fairs of the company may, in a great measure, be attributed." Mr. CHRISTOPHER JONES seconded the resolution. The resolution was then passed, and the pro ceedings closed with the usual compliment to the chair. PROPOSED RAILWAY FROM PLYMOUTH TO CUE.'

The Duke w as a thorough aristocrat, and though he gave his ad v i ce , his vote and his influence for the people, yet he evidently re , garded them as a human mass to be respected for their power and feared for their violence, to be spared domestic ills, and saved from a foreign foe. He un derstood them as he understood an army or a general that he bad to deal with ; but he had little more sym pathy with them than a careful shepherd might have for his silly flock. He was not one of them. The natural result is that he has always been more re spected than loved by the extreme Liberal party. In truth, though it was highly convenient to have a man in the country who could mediate so ex peditiously and so effectually between the people and the privileged classes, it was not compliment ary to the former to be described to the latter as an animal that must be appeased and tamed. Yet, as our readers would see by a very able article inserted in our columns yesterday from a weekly cotempo rary, the extreme section of the Liberals shows a noble anxiety to do every possible justice to this great champion of monarchies and aristocracies. These writers generally brush away from the question a heap ofelittle prejudice* arid- sore recollections, and confess to an honourable pride in the Duke's genuine English qualities, in his entire loyalty and submission to the laws, in his continual sense of duty, in his calm cou rage and unwearied perseverance, in his uniform good sense, in his unwearied industry, in his readiness to make any sacrifice, to dare any danger, or brave any obloquy ; in a word, for that rare union of qualities whims rendered him for half a century the mainstay and glory of this realm. After a searching analysis of the Duke's character, and a careful comparison with the more dazzling qualities of his great antago nist, our Radical contemporary awards the preference to his own countryman, and that in a splendid, though discriminating, eulogy. Nay, the very anticipations of extreme L iberalism are made to contribute a new grandeur to the Duke's memory. He is described as the last of a procession of great old names, as the Northmen's ideal of death enveloping in the dark folds of his robe the whole pageant of antiquity, o f which we have now seen th e l as t. An equally honourable example of candour and good sense has been shown in another unexpected quarter, and it appeared side by side with the English essay in our yesterday's columns. The Assernblee .Nationale, the only member of the French press that now professes to be free, has ventured to tell the plain truth about Wellington and Napoleon, and told it so p l a i n ly as to incur the formal reproof of the Govern ment. The facts of the Duke's life are so patent, so consecutive, and crowned with such a practical con clusion, that it requires great ingenuity to explain them a wive. But that ingenuity has long been verna cular in France. It is by this time bred into the race, and is now, as it appears, a matter of political necessity. The theory that Wellington stumbled into triumph by a long succession of blunders, that from one unmerited victory he boggled into another, that next to a fortune always above his deserts his chief means of success was the excessive stupidity of the British soldier, who never knew when he was beaten, and that after Wellington had committed the egregious error of straying into France, he received a final thrashing at Waterloo, and was only rescued from annihilation by the accidental arrival of another army in the field— all this is believed as much, perhaps, as anything else is believed, by our philosophical and credulous neighbours. The journal we have mentioned takes the safest estimate of the Duke of Wellington's cha racter, and ventures to point out what really cannot be denied—his practical q ualities—" a solid judg ment, a cool reason, a wonderful justness of percep tion, both on the field of battle and in the Cabinet, the most penetrating good sense, amounting to a power which became genius, a perseverance which nothing could tire or turn aside, and the most unshakeable firm ness in great dangers." Our Parisian contemporary points out the perfect harmony between the qualities of the man and their actual results both in the field and the Cabiuet. If his military success was the result of a miraculous succession of lucky accidents, how are we to account for the splendid position attained by the Duke in this country, and enjoyed, with continued augmentation, to the very end of his career, so that one of the latest public acts of his life was to render personal assistance to the Qaeen in weighing the balance of parties ? In the case of Napoleon Bona parte the writer is so bold as to admit that in spite of his prodigious powers he overreached himself and failed; ED that if the commencement of his career looks very brilliant by the side of Wellington's, the conclu sion is all the other way. Lastly, our contemporary, after alluding to the splendid destiny which re warded this life of labour and self-denial, does jus tice to the universal regrets with which England follows her great commander and statesman to his tomb. Here, then, are two weighty testimonies, ex pressed with great force and even eloquence, and coming from quarters where political or national an tipathy are usually allowed to reign supreme. And now for another testimony still more weighty, ins much as it is offered in spite of a combination of po litical and national antipathies. This wreath, not of bays, but of prickly holly, is offered by two amiable contemporaries breathing the mild air of the Atlantic in the classic, city of Galway. They freely acknow ledge the " !nighty genius of the departed hero." They chide the cold tone and scant measure of our praise. " Wellington," as they express it, was " one of the eyes of England." He was " the greatest comman der that ever led the British armies to victory." We may well weep over his coffin, for now he is gone we may soon want one like him. But the climax of the eulogy—which, however, these writers express in the language of complaint—is that Wellington was thoroughly, deliberately, and consistently loyal to the Sovereign whom ne served. Perverse, cold, stupid, mistaken man that he was, he would not rebel. He commanded the British armies against all sorts of foreign foes, with a certain cold blooded, calculating, commercial sort of courage, and so enabled England to maintain her ascendancy at home. In doing this he was a traitor to Ireland. " Msy Erin never rear such another son to turn his mighty genius to the service of her tyrant !" But Wellington, it seems, bad no soul for agitation or rebellion. " There was not an atom of chivalry about the Duke.—There was no heart in his fighting. He served a commercial people steadily, rigidly, soberly, regularly, just as a commercial people likes to be served.—lle was no boiling enthusiast he was cold, rigid, and calculating—in a word, the Iron Duke. He devoted himself to the English service." Yes. There is the one unpardonable sin in Galway, for which there is neither political indulgence nor priestly absolution. The Duke was loyal. He was provokingly, stupidly, obstinately loyal. With one spark of true heroism how different his career would have been ! At the headof the United Irishmen he might have achieved the independence of his country—and then woe to England Under him the Irish Brigade would once more have followed the standard of France. Ireland would still shout, as of old, Faugh-a-ballagh —what ever that may happen to mean—under the bright em blazonry of the silken banner of every country that hates England. What would have been the conse quence ? The field of Waterloo might have been another Fontenoy. This delighful daydream, these pathetic regrets, we give in the very words of our Galway contemporary. Such is the last touch that was required to the portrait of this great man, He lacked but one thing—the generous enthusiasm that prompted a certain nameless per so nag e t o ex claim, " Better to reign in Hell than serve in Heaven." Under the tuition of Dr. M'Hale, the probable writer of the article we quote, he would have learnt to es timate at its proper value the service of his Sovereign, and he could have realised the romance of Celtic do minion, What might Irel an d, what h b might Arthur nder Wesley, what might Dr. ISll`Hale such auspices ? We hav e on l y to atvuerneceovraereyuthing upside down and substitute the tail for the head, and then you have the reply. CHRONICLE.--It is not surprising that, in the discussions on the income-tax, the case of short an nuitants should have been put forward more promi nently than even the alleged grievance sustained by professional men and traders. The great majority of holders of property are in fact life annuitants; and the original intention of those who devised the form of security more commonly known by the name of Government Annuities, was to facilitate the operation of sinking capital for the pu r p ose of increasing the availabl e income of individuals. In the ordinary tenure of a terminable annuity, there is no peculiarity to distinguish this species of income from any other kind of revenue fairly liable to taxation. The jointures or life incumbrancer on land pays the 1111- i red as long as his interest continues ; and the pur- [PRICE SD. chaser of a life annuity from Government, or from an insurance office, enjoys equal advantages, subject to the same deductions. It must be wholly imma terial whether a deceased husband has provided for his widow by charging her income on his landed property, or by procuring for her a Government annuity for life. In either case the saleable value of her interest is the same, as well as the annual revenue. Yet it will be found that, while only a few careless theorists propose to tax a life interest in land at a lower rate than a per petuity, all the actuaries who have given their opinions on the income-tax concur in asserting that a termi nable annuity ought only to be assessed on the intee rest of the capital which it represents. The reason of companies, p t i a o of the this distinction is worth considering, inasmuch as it is connected with the professional position of its shortau thors. Actuaries are the advisers and principal ob viates the capi managers of insurance offices ; and those associations are amongst the larger holders of terminable annui ties. The preference which they give to this class of securities is founded partly on the higher interest demands which which they return, even after allowing a sufficient de duction replacement of the principal sum, which ianthinegincfo :lief in n e-investment to ensure the reproduction selling out stock to meet the capital. There is also a convenience in the . necessity of well as other speculative capitalists, have no ,as purpose in sinking . money in a terminable annuity, except periodically arise. The insurance to re-convert it into a per , petuity. There is, of course, a profit on the ments necessary to replace theo ope ration, or it would not eeffected ; but the banker and' he actuary habitual! the term emerges divide an- annuity into the interest due on the purchase money, and the instal which is sunk at the beginning of The sum at the end, still subject to new form of investment ; and althoTe . -tax under any rated statements of the grievance have g b h e most exaggee published, it may be admitted that, in thisen repeatedly all others in which capital is hardly distinguished as i n from income, the principle of equal assessment poses a discouragement on one particular mode jai " of in vestment. The ordinary method of replacing the capital consists in the annual employment of the excess of the annuity, over the interest of the pur chase money, in buying other annuities of the same kinds. Many advocates of graduated taxation have assumed, with singular inaccuracy, that a fresh loss is incurred as often as an annuity is purchased ; but it is evident that the market price of all securities adjusts itself to any permanent fiscal system. The whole grievance, therefore, whatever may be its amount, was inflicted at the time when the income-tax was first imposed. If annuities have since maintained their former relative value, as is assumed by our correspondent " Igno ramus" and others, the fact only proves that the dis turbing influence of the tax has been practically im perceptible. Even Mr. Hardy, in his evidence, ap pears in some degree to have forgotten this obvious consideration. No permanent impost on any species of property can have any effect in increasing the price to the purchaser, so long as other investment, equally eligible in themselves, remain exempt from the burden. There can be little doubt that the annuities actually held by the offices have, for the most part, been pur chased with full notice of the tax ; and in all such in stances, the Government or other grantor, must have been the only sufferer from the peculiar incidence of the impost. The case of the annuities taken by the Bank of England at the request of the Treasury is, however, of a different character. The actual loss suffered by the capitalist or speculator who holds terminable annuities is easily expressed in any case which may be selected as an example. If, in the absence of an income-tax, A. invests 1,0001. in Consols at par, while B. purchases an annuity of 901. with the same sum, it may be assumed that—the interest of the money remaining the same—B. will be able to spend 301. annually as income, and at the end of his term of about eleven years, to realise the same perpetuity which A. has already secured. The relative posi tions of A. and B. will be precisely the same if their respective purchases are made after the establishment of an income-tax, although the gross terminable an nuity will be larger in amount. If, however, the tax of 7d. in the pound is imposed immediately after the first investments have been made, B. will suffer a comparative disadvantage. The income of A. will be permanently reduced to 291. 23. 6i.. while, if B. spends an equal annual sum during the continuance of his term, he will find himself, at the end of the period, only able to purchase a perpetuity of the same amount, subject to income-tax, or a net income for ever of 281. ss. 6J. In other words, his loss in the first instance, will be represented by the value of the tax on A.'s tax-free annuity, deferred to the end of his term. The elaborate tables which have been published for the purpose of exhibiting the decreasing values of tt rminable an nuities may be accurate; but they are in the highest degree complicated and perplexing. In calculating the present value of an annuity at its commencement, all the elements of the problem are taken into consi deration. It is evident that, after the payment of each instalment, the residue is diminished in value, so that, if the tax is estimated us a perpetuity, its ratio to the capital represented by the annuity must in crease from year to year. The only question for the financier relates to the assumption on which invest ments of this kind are to be assessed. If, in point of fact, terminable annuities are habitually reduced to perpetuities by the holders, the Exchequer will be justified in regarding the excess of the annual pay ments above the ordinary interest of money in thelight of instalments of capital. On the other hand, common experience will probably lead to the conclusion that annuitants are not, as a general rule, mere speculators in money. Where a principal sum is sunk in the pur chase of an increased income, the exaction of an equal percentage from temporary and perpetual annuities can inflict no hardship or inequality. The duration of the tax is equal to that of the income; and the same total impost is assessed on the sum invested in Consols in the one case, as on the amount laid out in an annuity in the other. It is possible that means might be devised for reducing the rate of taxation where security was given for the re-investment of the principal from time to time, so that income could not benefit by an exemption allowed to capital. In surance offices and money dealers will be able to judge whether such an arrangement would be prac ticable and convenient. If it cannot be contrived, the only future result of equality of assessment will be to discourage speculations of a peculiar kind in a highly artificial species of investment. There are considerations bearing on the tendency of an income. tax to raise the interest of money, which tend to show that, even to dealers in annuities, the loss under the present system is necessarily less than the proportion which we have assumed for the sake of conveni ence. Our immediate purpose has been to show that ire the n t bond fide annuitant stands in an entirely d position from the speculator in securities. REGISTRATION. CITY OF LONDON. Mr. MTHRISTIE, the revising barrister, sat at the Guildhall yesterday, and delivered judgment with re spect to the numerous objections that had been taken to the want of the proper description of the livery of the several companies, b u t i n which he had allowe d the names to be corrected, retaining them on the register. He said he should not have fined the clerks of Or tions com panies so heavily as he bad done but hdf t" °br i c ee, or arose from the neglect of the clerks of f t l l l l o 7: e n sE did not their clerks.

It was his intention to hear two legal gentle men discuss the question pro and con, to-morrow (this day), at Westminster. and he would, therefore, defer his decision until Thursday morning. He might, however, state that he and Mr. Bayley had decided similar cases against the claimants.
