(Before Baron MARTIN awl Mr. Justice CROMPTON.) The second edition of the calendar, published this morning, contains the names of 130 prisoners, being 18 more than appeared in the first edition. A FRAUDULENT BANKRUPT.—A respectably-dressed Young man, named Richard Cross, aged 31, and de scribed as a watchmaker, was placed at the tar, charged With misdemeanour. Mr. Clarkson appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Bodkin for the defence. The indictment charged the prisoner with having fraudulently obtained goods within three months of his bankruwcy, by falsely representing that he was still carrying on business in the ordinary way, and of sound credit. At first the prisoner pleaded not guilty; but, by the advice of his counsel, he withdrew that plea, and substituted for it the plea of guilty. Mr. BODKIN said his client certainly had no fraudu lent intentions when he obtained the goods. He in tended to have taken them abroad, in the hope of being We to dispose of them to advantage, and to pay his creditor the full amount of their value; but he was bound to admit that this intention he wholly with held from the creditor at the time he obtained the goods. , Mr. CLARKSON said this prosecution had been ordered by the Commissioners of Bankruptcy, and the offence of which the prisoner was charged was a very serious one. The fraudulent act of bankruptcy of which he Wes charged consisted of having obtained from a Mr. Lucien Marchand 60 gold and 24 silver watches, under the pretence that he wanted them in the ordinary course of business; but so far from that being the case, he had ,alten his passage for Australia, and sailed the next day to the Queen of the South for the Cape, where he was afterwards apprehended. The prisoner had carried on the business of a jeweller in Southampton, and up to the 12 th of last June he kept his shop open in the usual manner. Th e next day, however, it was ascertained t hat, he had " bolted," carrying with him every thing lett the shop co n tained, besides the watches in question; ut his ereditors, having some clue to his retreat, dis- P, etched a detective officer after him, and before be had been five hours at the Cape he was in custody on the Present charge. Baron MARTIN asked if the prperty had been re covered. Mr. CLeassoN replied in the affirmative. The watches e We re found upon his person when he was arrested, and 'Lla stock in trade on board the Queen of the South. . Baron MARTIN, in passing sentence upon the prisoner, f old him that m a ny a man had been transported for a e 8 Offence than this. The prisoner, in point of fact, had been guilty of a robbery in every sense of the term, and of the worst character, but the law only provided a pu nishment of t wo y e ars' imprisonment for the offence. T he Court, however, in the hope that this would be a ; Ya rning to him for the future, would abstain from pass ing the se verest sentence a ll owe d by the law, and there fore the j u d gment o f t h e C ourt w as that he be imprisoned 'bu kept to hard labour for the space of 1 8 calendar khths. The prisoner was then removed. CUTTING AND WOUNDING.— Thomas Henry Knight, :Red 50, described as a watch finisher, was indicted for feloniously and maliciously stabbing and wounding Mary Ann Knight, w i t h intent to murder her. The - prisoner Pleaded not guilty. Mr. Ryland appeared for the prosecution. The pri toner was not defended by counsel. tu hia a r n, y d Ann Knight stated that t h e pr i soner was h er sb and they had lived together at es lodging in St. Pancras. On the night o f th e 1 6 t h o f A ugus t l a st they h t ire d to rest as usual about eleven o'clock at night, tut they had not b een i n b e d more t h an an h our b e f ore t : e prisoner got up and said, he m u st pr a y, fo r h e h a d e Ped a warning and had not an hour to live. He an ti Niegly fell upon his knees and began praying for some t o ille, but in a very rambliug.strain, and she induced him ee ole to bed again. About two o'clock in the morn itß he w as ta k ea i n the same way a second time and A s s led upon h e r getting up, although he knew that she suffering from rheumatics and little able to do so. Struggled out of bed however with some difficulty, head with an iron bill. fib"' t hen he struck her upon the e r a k out on to the landing and he foll o w ed her with sh o till e Ni his hand, and stabbed her betwe en the ashiders.

WALPOLE, SECRE TART OF THE HOME DEPARTMENT. " BALMORAL, SEPT. 20, 1852. " Sir,—Her Majesty received with grief, on Thurs day lust, the afflicting intelligence of the sudden death of the late Duke of Wellington. " Although the Queen could not for a moment doubt that the voice of the country would be unani mous upon the subject of the honours to be paid to the memory of the greatest man of the age, her Ma jesty considered it due to the feelings of his Grace's surviving relatives that no steps should be taken, even in his honour, without their approving concurrence; and, accordingly, in the same feelings, in obedience to her Majesty's commands, I wrote to Lord Charles Wellesley (the present Duke not having returned to England), to ascertain whether the late Duke had left any directions, or whether his family desired to express any wish on the subject ; and suggesting the course which appeared to her Majesty best cal- culated to give expression to those feelings, in which the nation, as one man, will sympathise with her Majesty.• "Having this day received letters from the present Duke and his brother, to the effect that the late Duke had left no directions on the subject, and placing themselves wholly in her Majesty's hands, I hasten to relieve the public anxiety by signifying to you, for general information, the commands which I have re ceived from her Majesty. " The great space which the name of the Duke of Wellington has filled in the history of the last fifty years—his brilliant achievements in the field—his high mental qualities—his long and faithful services to the Crown—his untiring devotion to the interests of his country—constitute claims upon the gratitude of the nation, which a public funeral, though it can not satisfy, at least may serve to recognise. " Her Majesty is well aware that, as in the case of Lord .Nelson, she might, of her own authority, have given immediate orders for this public mark of vene ration for the memory of the illustrious Duke, and has no doubt but that Parliament and the country would cordially have approved the step but her Ma jesty, anxious that this tribute of regard and sorrow should be deprived of nothing which could invest it wi:h a thoroughly national character—anxious that j the greatest possible number of her subjects should . have an opportunity of joining it—and anxious, above eli, that such honours should appear to emanate from 1 the general will, and that the two Houses of Parlia- I ment should have an opportunity, by their approving sanction, of stamping the proposed ceremony with in- creased solemnity, and of associating themselves with her Majesty in paying honour to the memory of one whom no Englishman can name without pride and sorrow. " The body of the Duke of Wellington will re. main, therefore, with the concurrence of the family, under proper guardianship, at Milner Castle, unt: he Queen shall have received the formal approval o Parliament to the course which it will be the duty o her Msjc,ty's servants to submit to both Houses upon their re-assembling. As soon as possible after that approval shall have bee❑ obtained, it is her Ma- esty's wish, should no unforeseen impediment arise, hat the mortal remains of the late illustrious and venerated Commander•in-Chief should, at the public expense, and with all the solemnity due to the mournfulness of the occasion, be deposited at the Cathedral Church of St. Paul's, there to rest by the side of Nelson—the greatest Military by the side of the greatest Naval Chief who ever reflected lustre upon the annals of England. "I have the honour to be, Sir, "Your most obedient humble servant, "DERBY." LAST OFFICIAL ACT OF THE LATE DUKE OF WELLINGTON.—IES Grace's last official a c t o f any importance, as Commander-in - Chief, at the War office, was the regulation of the uniform to be worn by the officers of the militia now in the course of en rolment. So anxious was the Duke for the early issue of these regulatione, that on the Saturday pre vious to his lamented death a special messenger at tended at the Government printing-office to convey the proof for his Grace's revision and signature, so that the document might be at once forwarded to the lord-lieutenants of counties and acted on. PRINCE ALBERT'S LAST VIII TO THE DUKE.— On the occasion of her Majesty's recent visit to Bel gium, her squadron having anchored for one night in the Downs, his Royal Highness the Prince Consort proceeded from the royal yacht in a small boat to Widmer Castle, where the Noble Duke was then stay ing. The illustrious veteran appeared highly pleased with this mark of attention, and received Prince Albert with much cordiality. They had a lengthened conversation together, after which the Prince left the Castle to join her Majesty in the Victoria and Albert. This meeting between those two distinguished per sonages, which was on the 17th of August, has proved to be the last. COURT CIRCULAR._ BALI ORAL, SEPT. 20. Her Majesty and his Royal Highness Prince Albert attended Divine service yesterday in the parish church of Crathie. Tne service was performed by the Rev. Dr. Pau], one of her Majesty's chaplains in Scotland. The Viscountess Jocelyn, the Hon. Mary Seymour, the Earl of Derby, Colonel Hon. C. B. Phipps, and Lieut.-Colonel Hon. A. Gordon, were in attendance. Earl Fitzhardinge had an interview with Mr. Secretary Walpole yesterday, at the Home-office. The American Minister, Mrs. Abbott Lawrence, Colonel Lawrence, and Miss Lawrence left town on Monday, on a visit to the Earl of Carlisle, at Castle Howard. HER MAJESTY'S SOJOURN 1N THE NORTH. CRATHIE, MONDAY.—On Saturday her Majesty made short excursions around the castle and by Crathie-bridge to the north side of the river. His Royal Highness Prince Albert went into Balmoral Forest, and was very successful, having killed three fine stags. The Royal Family rode out on ponies through the grounds and in the neighbourhood of the castle. Yesterday her Majesty, accompanied by Lord Derby and other members of the suite, again at tended Divine service in the parish church of Crathie. The Very Rev. Dr. Paul, of Tullynessie, one of her Majesty's chaplains for Scotland, officiated, and preached an eloquent discourse from Mark viii. as. The audience ( w hich, as usual, included several groups of strangers) was a large one. Yesterday afternoon her Mljesty and Prince Albert drove down by Abergeldie so far sls " Craigousie," and rat Corbie hall, where the royel vegetable garden is located, both alighted from th e carriage, end convers ed familiarl y with the old gardener and his wife, too patriarchal returned et relics rn oeyd to f the last. century, respected over the whole countryuth ' h e i c i a e s r t (- t s i t l Y e e B v il e d n i ,s. Royal Highness - WAS THE DUKE OF WELLINGTON EVER VI ( °UNDID ? —ln 'Reside nce at the Court of Lon d on ," lowing anecdote is r ecorded :—" Until this occasirn 1 was under an imprf.sion th at the Duke of Wellington never was wounded ; but Sir G eorge Walker said, that not long after tha storming of B t:© Seadajos, the 101- Seas struck by a random musket hall in the Fide, in en affair with the French, on the bor . - den; of France. It was merely a slight wound and was dressed on the spot. The Luke on receiving it exclaimed, Hit at last a 1,141 seemed /Imola pleased," (From the illorning Herald.) This morning Mr. Secretary Walpole has received the following letter from the Earl of Derby, dated Balmoral on Monday last, from which it will be see❑ by our readers that her Majesty has determined that a public funeral shall be accorded to the late illus trious Commander-in-Chief; that the funeral will not take place until the new Parliament shall assemble, in order that that Parliament may declare their wishes upon the subject ; and that the members of both Houses may have the opportunity of personally attending the solemn pro2es,ion. It is her Majesty's wish that the mortal remains of the late Military Hero stall be deposited in St. Paul's Cathedral, and be placed by the side of the late Admiral Lord Nelson, the greatest naval chief who ever reflected honour upon this country. Mr. Secretary Walpole, we understand, this morning, sent down an express telegraph message to Widmer Castle, that a guard of honour should im mediately be placed near the body of the illustrious Duke, which of course was immediately done, and where it will remain as guardians of the public trust until her Majesty's further commands shall be made known upon the subject. Through the obliging courtesy of Mr. Secretary Walpole we are enabled to publish to our readers a copy of the deeply interesting letter, which the Earl of Derby, in obedience to the commands of her Ma jesty, has written relative to the funeral of the Duke of Wellington, expressive of the Queen's wishes upon the melancholy subject : THE LONDO THE DUKE OF WELLINGTON. (From the Weekly Dispatch.) The death of the Duke of Wellington has proved to all the greatness of h's life. Nothing could be more quiet—let us not be misunderstood in using the word —more common-place than his closing scene ; there was no climax, no catastrophe, no heroic sacrifice in battle, like the fall of Nelson; no exhaustion by stern mental strife, as in the fates of Pitt and Canning, no sudden stroke of unforeseen accident, as we misterm it, es in the loss of Peel. The Duke died at an age when death must, in ordinary cases, have been long expected—of a disease that ofren strikes old age fatally—epilepsy; and this was caused probably by a paroxysm of the morbid appetite for food, which it is especially necessary guard against at that period of lite. His danger, if we may believe the accounts, was apparent to himself, and much underrated by the apothecary who was summoned, Mr. Hulke, although that person had attended him on the occa sion of a previous similar attack. However, the Duke has quitted life, as far as we may pronounce for another, happily ' • in the fulness of y e a rs , and without the painful a nd humiliating decline of faculties. He has died a natural death, and, we hope, a very easy one. The time of his ceasing to breathe could not be exactly determined. And so passing away, with us little to startle in the event as death can bring, the event itself causes one deep, strong, unanimous sensation. What may be the effect in other lands we know not—we almost care not; the great country which he served is enough to estimate his memory and to treasure it. He has, as much as one man can embody a common cause, saved Europe; but we do not expect Europe to repay its debt, or even to understand it. It was the single misfortune of the Duke's life that he served those who were every way less worthy than himself. In this we do not speak of the nations he so mainly helped to redeem from intolerable and disgraceful bondage, but of those who led and represented them. In England he has long been locked upon as a piece of living history. The past had more of him in men's minds than the present, but, had a present arisen that needed his help, the old faith in him would have been shown, as of old. Indeed, in the two latest crises of our policy, both within the period of the shortest memory, he was locked to as the arbiter of all differences. The Russell Ministry could scarcely rule, and none were ready to succeed them ; the Duke's moral authority composed the difficulty, and on the weight of his decision the effete continued in power. The nation was in possible peril from the freaks of irregular and unscrupulous authority in France ; all sane men asked, what insurance against the danger will the Duke think sufficient ? He had not outlived his service or his fame; and he dies when neither could have been much increased. Moreover, he passes from us at a time when all enmity and all envy are disarmed —when he is understood as he would desire to be. This is great fortune. The earlier part of his Euro pean career was subject to all the spleen of party. The somewhat shallow, and the not too honest persons who then represented the people's cause, never divided or classed the progress of the French revolution and its consequences. In the origin of the great war, which was only stayed, till 1814, by a hollow truce, the French, maddened and brutalized as they were by the education of serfs, fought for the inherent rights of mankind against the paltriest and most presump tucus usurpers of them. They claimed national exist ence against the miserable conspirators of Pilnitz. Disgraced as their cause might be, it was, in its main essentials, holy. The disgusting egotism of many in dividuals polluted it ; the horrible selfishness of one engulfed it. Men who are striving against the charla tan tyrannies of Napoleon the Little should begin by rightly estimating him whom, for antithesis' sake, they call Napoleon the Great. That Napoleon sub stituted bloodglory for the defence of patriots and free men ; he substituted aggression, lust of conquest, brigandage, for republican virtue; he derided equality, and threw baubles to dupes as badges of slavery; he, the ancient enemy of France by blood and feeling, the avenger of Paoli—he, the Corsican, the son of a conquered land, whose schoolboy dreams were hatred to his island's oppressors—crushed France and stood upon its ruins, its possessor, its tyrant, governing the estate and the human cattle upon it with skill indeed, but with skill exerted only for his own personal purposes. France was his, and that was the sum of his regard for it. But half-minded men never analyse causes; when party spirit works they wilfully confuse them. When Napoleon reigned, it was England fighting for existence against a tyranny as frightful as that which France had discomfited. France had taken the place of aggression. Our Li berals could not see this. To them, as to some French men of the present day, who, as hildren, are unable to give up the bauble glories of the Empire, Napolean was the vindicator of freedom against tyrants, the child of the Republic. He hated and despised both. When Wellington entered the field of European con test, it was in opposition to the idol of these twaddling dramatic romancers, these would-be politicians, who preferred a story book in weekly or daily parts, in which their favourite might triumph, to the serious justice and the hard practical facts they had no skill to appreciate. They felt for Napoleon as they would feel for Madame Laffarge or Ainsworth's Jack Sheppard. We are tracing Wellington's career in tracing these contrasts. He and Napoleon were indeed impelled on different courees in widely different spheres of action, but the moral distinction was as great as the material. Wellington was no hero for slipslop sentimentality. The Li berals of England thought that they were doing service to mankind when they were mocking Ile his plain, patient genius, and thwarting his efforts to arrest a plague that dazzled them by flashing its in fluence in lightning meteors. But the English sym pathy, the heart of the people, as we rem em b er well, was with the English general. They did more than illuminate for his victories—they rejoiced in the ap portionment of the rewards which they were well aware they had to pay. Even after the retreat from Moscow they could hardly believe Napoleon Bona parte to be anything less than personally invincible but they honoured Wellington as the man that could beat all his generals. The cynical Opposition carped and hindered—the paltry Government was afraid of supporting to its utmost, and with full avo wa l, th e nh a dto win who did its choice unwonted honour. Welling to success, that he might h ave th e power soldier to compel from his employers the means of success afterwards—and he did it. He conquered reluctance at home as enemies abroad, and forced enthusiasm as well as victory. He has been compared to Napoleon : he should be contrasted with him. For ourselves, we decidedly say that he was the greater man. He un dertook his task under all the obligations of morality and honour, an d he beat the man who would own none of them. This ought never to be forgotten in the estimation of noted men. It is the first interest of mankind to give the prize to those who deliberately choose to serve their fellows in com pliance with the laws of right, and not to those who make mankind serve them in utter defiance of these laws. If merely to produce a given quantity o f change, regardless of the means which bring it about, or the ends for which it is accomplished, be the mea sure of greatness, the conscienceless must transcend those who have conscience. Good is heavily weighted while evil is free. We are not comparing abilities, but deeds ; the men as they stand in history self sculptured. The use of all qualities is the glory of the possessors. Wellington and Bonaparte acted upon opposite principles; they never could have un derstood one another. Vellington's unselfish devo tion was to his country, personified to him, as a soldier, in that country's Sovereign. If we could imagine him at a conference in another world, it would be carrying out the Queen's interests to the utmost of his power. Bonaparte so completely mistook him, that one of his calculations was that the 'Wellesley family, after what they had achieved for England, must be expecting to reign in it. He could not understand the dignified humility of true glory, the fame that is won by working for a great cause without a second thought, that imperishable and ever honoured fame that comes as an unsought accident to the per formance of duty. Again, as a soldier, we cannot allow Wellington to be less than Napoleon's superior. The successes of Austerlitz and Jena were in a great degree Napoleon's own ; but even there he had no worthy competitors. At Marengo he was beaten. Desaix released him from defeat. At Wagram he would have perished with all his army, had the Arch duke Charles trusted in his own victory. What Wellington achieved he owed to himself, even to the formation of his armies out of the most unpromising materials. Lamartine has thoroughly estimated him when, in his narrative of the battle of Waterloo, he treats him as the most perfect and illustrious imper sonation of the English character. Wellington des paired follower, as he made up his mind to be at Waterloo, but he would not be beaten. When but one of his staff was left beside him, and he was asked what w as to be done in case of anything happening to himself, he had but one order to give, "to die to the last man." Napoleon had won many a battle by out daring his enemies; there was no such thing as out.- daring Wellington. As he bad been obliged to cover with his fame the sins of his patrons at the opening of his career, so he suffered in the dis grace of others when he hnd helped to win Europe for them. The tyrants of the Holy Alliance made him appear an accomplice in their iniquity, though ho was in nowise responsible for the abuse of the power which he had so mainly contributed to recover for them. This is admitted and comprehended now. When we turn to him as a statesman, we have the same character, but employed on a subject respecting which his mind was not specially instructed. There were the same sense of right, the same simple single mindedness, the sine disdain of hollow convention, the same ditregard of personal consequences; but there were, also, the pride of birth and the habit of aristo cratic predilection, and the absence of philosophical traitii9g, which might countervail them.

L SlR, —Th e Essex magistrates, w h en they decided the char ges aga i nst Mr. Simpson and Monsieur and Madame Poit ev i n , d ec l are d their perfect consciousness that the eye s o f E urope were upon them. I certainly was not previously aware that Europe occupied her visual organs in gazing on such intellectual objects as the Solons of the Ilford bench; but, if it be so, and if her ea rs as well as h er eyes were employed on the oc casion in question, I cannot but think that she must, like myself, have been very much at a loss, on hearing a w d i m th ir e r k e nt g ho a ew r i d rl e dg t o ga el I M ao nf a t d rt y a h me towards el the decisi on a t w hi c h these learned gentlemen arrived a P w o i which s w tehx b e, e y t o h pr e r r of m e administer. The magistrat es were sitting in the character of a their s o a e s d t ttpro foundeojury, and in that character were called upon to give the accused the benefit of any reasonable doubt, and this obligation, which applies to every case whether decided by a jury or by magistrates acting in their judicial capacity, surely was not the less imperative because upon this occasion the offence charged was one created by statute, and the person accused was a foreigner and a lady ; but, if it turns out so far from there being a doubt, the law was clearly in favour of Madame Poitevin, and neither the care which doubt engenders, or the sympathy which the weaker sex commands, were necessary to lead to her acquittal. What will Europe say, when, having withdrawn her gaze from these her favourite sons, and the sound of the oracular words which proceed from their lips having died away, she exercises her j u dgment on their proceedings? It will be recollected that the alleged offence was committed by Madame Poitevin in the presence of and in company with her husband he being not only actually present, b u t taking a part in the transaction ; and therefore, unless there was something in this case to take it out of the general rule as to the presumed coercion of the wife in offences committed by her, in the presence of and jointly with her husband, she was undoubtedly entitled to en acquittal. It is true that this rule of l aw s i mply raises a legal presumption of coercion, which is capable of being rebutted by evi , dence ; but in this case no such evidence was given, and therefore the presumption of law remained in full force in favour of the female defendant ; and although there is some question as to the extent to which this rule applies to certain offences, mala i n se, there is no authority for th e position that it does not extend to a statutsable offence of this description, but on the con trary, the rep or t e d decisions, Rex V. price, 8 c. and p. 19, Anon. Match. Dig. Cr. Law, 262, clearly show that it does. I nr. ""' quite aware that these are decisions which, it has been contended, take all cases below felony out of the operation of this rule; but I believe that on e xam i nation of all those cases it will be found that their effect has been misconceived by those who have d rawn a distinction w hi c h inthe more recent cases is, after consideration, repudiated, and, therefore, I think I am justified in contending that the deci s i on o f th e Ilford Bench exhibits on the part of th ose w h o pronounced it a w ant oflegald knowledge, as we ll as t h e absence of that cou rtesyan consideration whi c h a l ady and a f ore i g ner might have expected a t th e h ands of Eng li s h magistrates and English gentlemen. The differ ence b etween the procee di ngs at Ilford case which the course pursued by Mr. Arnold in the which w as h eard before him, who so determinedly refused to p erm i t his feelings or his p r ivate opinions to interf e r e w i t h the construction which, as a lawyer, s he f e lt hi mself called to put upon the statute which it was his duty to interpret is so self - evi dent as to in duce even th ose who are the most anxious that our co untry gentlem en s h ould poss ess that influence with which their position as justices of the peace in vests them, seriously to doubt r even that con sideration ought to weigh against the . close adminis unpaid services tration of justice ; and w h e sher if o ught not to b e alto e th e r e th e r dispensed with on the judgment- seat, somethin like a decent knowledge of the law oug h t at all events to b e possessed by its ad ministrators; b ut be this as it may,l should strongly advise th e S olons of the Ilford Benc h ,ae of their own while pre sent system cont i nues, for the k s credit, t o request that Europe willb e kind enough to shut h er eyes during their presen t deliberatione.

J. Fox. The town presents an extraor dinary and banners with devices indicative of the political sea degree of bustle; almost every public-house exhibits tin -tents of the respective candidates. There has been a re port that Robert Owen, the Socialist, would offer himself, but there does not seem to be any foundation for the rumour. Oldham has been generally remarkable for the fervour, not to say violence, it exhibits at elections, but party spirit has never been so strongly manifested as upon this occasion. There are meetings almost every night, at some of which such a spirit of turbulence has been exhibited that the friends of Mr. F ox thought it adv i sa ble to appeal to the magis trates to t a k e some s ' eps t o protect the inhabitant s. The consequenc e i s t h at p l acar ds are now posted on th e walls de p r ecating the use of flags and banners, and statin g t h e deter mination of the magistr ates to p r event riotou s assemblages. Alr e ady many windows have be en b roken, and other injury d o ne to property. On Saturday, i n spite o f a drenching rain, the supp orters of M r. Heald had an open a i r meeting near the town. All pa sse d off quietly, but in the evening the town was in an a g ita ted state, and the merits, or rather the alleged demerits of both candi dates were discui.sed by the respective parties with conside derable w armth. The placards and other articles put for ward attract public attention in a ver y hi gh degree, and when the time for the election draws nearer the contest will. no doubt, assume a still more formidable character. The general opinion at Oldham seems to be that Mr. Fox will b e returned again.

Of that almost institution h e may be said to be the saviour, in moderating it s opposition when opposition was most dangerous. Th e Peerage was instinctively grateful to him, He held it s d ecisions often an d c ontinuously in the proxies he had in his pocket. To the last it would have be en a desperate attempt, to move the Lords to th wart hi s will or oppose his judgmen. He had a veto, at least, British Legislature. He is go ne. The Northmen s image of death is finer than that of other climes ; no skeleton, but a gigantic figure that envelopes men . within the massive folds of its dark garment.

Let them pause before they revive ideas which it is wise in their order to obliterate. It will be difficult worthy hands enough to arrange for the due performance of that anomalous office. We require at once a security that it should not be made an instrument of party bribery by a Minister of War, and that it shall not be re moved from the animadversions of public opinion in the House of Commons. There is a Gordian knot to be loosed as intricate as the East I n di an G o vernment. But, in any cas e , the Com mandership must not be the prize of bl oo d, or interest, or c onnex i o n.

The Autumn Welter Handicap I should book a cer tainty for Warwick, if he runs. The Champagne Stakes, notwithstanding the penalty that Exact will have to carry, if they mean her, will be monopolised by this slashing daughter of Birdcatcher. Lambton will not start. The Chesterfield Handicap, about a mile and a quar ter, like unto the Wilton, has an uncommonly strong entry, and will no doub t lik ewise attract a good field, including Timid Fawn, W arw i ck, and Riteilyer, who, I opine, will catch th e j u d ge ' s eye pretty nearly in the order I have place-d them. A good deal of betting this morning, at the following prices:-10 Says. Stakes (Leicester)-2 to 1 agst Bor deaux; 4 any other; Warwick and Koh-i-noor are said to be non-starters.

The recent trip in the Wave Queen steamer, arranged by Captai❑ Cosens, of the Princess, who accompanied the party, consisting of about 150 passengers, admits of more local description in reference to the natural beauty and scenery of the neighbourhood. The voyage may be said to require seven and a half hours; and, with a good band of music, and the great novelty of passing from Weymouth to Cherbourg, can only be appreciated by those who have taken a two days' trip. Alderney is viewed on the right about twenty miles distant, then a delightful view of the country around Cherbourg, ex•• tending from Barfleur to Cape La Hogue. The view of the breakwater, three miles in length, is magnificent, the wonder of the world, and the greatest of Napoleon's works. The guard-ship passed, you anchor inside the breakwater till the tide serves to proceed into the har bour, with music playing and decked with colours. Having passed the ordeal of the Customs' department, and obtained accommodation at the hotels, a ramble to the ca'4J, the cathedral, built in William the Conqueror's time, &e. The next morning at seven visit the Roman Catholic cathedral again during the time of service, after breakfast a view of the arsenal, docks, &c., planned by Bonaparte; the whole are extensive, aral progressing to completion. The fortifications are most formidaole. On arriving at the surface of the 11101111t . lill at the interior of Cherbourg., a panoramic view of fifi.y miles in extent presents itself, and is a rich treat. The armoury, har bour, gardens, &c., are most interesting. This is no flattering description, and a trip is strongly recom mended both with regard to health as well as recreation A FEW FAIR and UNFAIR THINGS AGAINST THE FAIR SEX. Br AN OLD BACHELOR. The nun who flatter women do not know them suffi ciently, and the men who only abuse thrm do not know them at all. Romances generally end with a marriage. And many young girls, when they leave school, would wish to go through the romance of life—as they do most romances—by beginning at the end. Women should rule but not govern. Scandal, wi:h many women, is an occupation. They pick characters to pieces iu the same way that they pick their nosegays to pieces—because they have got nothing else to do. If you wish to learn the worst fault of a woman, praise her highly to her friends. Woman is a most beautiful book, that too frequently is condemned for its errata. You can generally tell how popular you are scith a lady by the length of time she keeps you waiting whilst dressing to receive you. A fan is a must handy little instrument for those who have lost the art of blushing. Vows are the bad money—the I 0 O's and post obits with which the man pays a woman the debts of his heart. If a young lady has a purse with two end's—silver in oue end, and gold in the other—she is sure to open the gold end first. The only time when women talk much amongst one another, is when they are waiting for the gentlemen after dinner. The eyes of a pretty woman are the interpreters of the language of her heart. They translate what her tongue has a difficulty in expressing. had, and If you wish to close a lady's lips, ask her e g Few women keep a diary after their fi rst l ove d ly curedw will l o f it; Tell me how many ladies' maids a lady has will tell you her ternphear.s g loved madly laughat his mad nesAs a in s an sO w on ho as ha h s e but a woman never laughs upon such a subject, With her, love is a madness, of which she never sees the folly.

WELSH SLATE TRAFFIC.—The development of the slate traffic on the Chester and Holyhead line is gradually proceeding, and in a short time there is no doubt that it will form a most important item of revenue. The branch lines of rail from the great slate wharfs at Port Penrhyn an d p or Dinorwic have been connected with the tramways at th e quarries, and in a short time, it i 3 hoped, there will be a communication at Carnarvon between the line and the tram ways leading to the great slate basin. la order fully to in sure an adequate supply of slates, the compan have pur chased a large piece of ground at Sahney, near Chester, whereon they can range and stack the slates carried along the line. This piece of land is eight acres in extent, and on p h o e t, fully it no fewer than 80,000 tons of slate c an b e securely stowed from which the wants of surroundingandiistntrmicetsnsceande supplied. The great q u arries of Penrhyn and Llanb er i s are now connected with stowed- This is will prove the main line, and the consequence will be a vastly increas ing amount of slate traffic by railway. • .

Crawshay, jun.; Mr. Seaward, and Mr. Brunel. The coals taken on board having been more suit able for flue boilers, with which she is fitted, than those used on Sat ur d a y last, she proceeded down the river with evidently greater speed than she attained during her preliminary trial, and on her arriving at the mea sured mile her speed was tested, and found to be 10.6 knots, equal to 12f miles per hour, and nearly half a knot greater than on.the previous trial. The result gave general satisfaction, as it was not expected she would have realised that speed, as the builders were limited to a very short length, and to ensure that she would not draw more than four feet of water. The vessel is, con sequently, very flat-bottomed, with broad bows, and throws up a large wave upon them, which makes her speed the more surprising under these drawbacks, which were unavoidable owing to the difficulty of navigating the Danube in summer with steam-vessels of any other dimensions.

MESSRS. HOWARD AND CLINTON TO THE SPORT• ING P UBLIC. — Conscious that we have discharged our duty to the public, by sparing neither money nor exertion, in obtaining the best and choicest informa tion from the most influential, and even from the most closely-guarded stables, we have hitherto been re warded by ample success. Being equally aware of the many enemies that our success has produced, we beg to lay before you the following cursory remarks in the Morning Post of yesterday ( Tuesday). The public will, we have no doubt, respect the opinion and iudgment of such a man as Argus, a man of discriminating judgment and known honour. The present is the age of wonder, and on so great a scale are the operations of a firm, calling themselves Messrs. Howard and Clinton, carried on, that a journal of their own, published by subscription, has been established by them, for the retailing of information; the changes in the market, or in their own opinions, being conveyed daily to the public through the columns of a morning contemporary, in cypher. Some of these numbers were handed about at Doncaster, and scanned with a degree of avidity that shows how eagerly in formation on racing is sought after by the speculative classes. Some condemned, but all were amused by them ; and upon the principle of rendering unto Cmsar, &c.,1 cannot but admit their luck, in finding out the secrets of the pri son-house,' must be either very wonderful, or else that they must,have resources at their command such as we are wholly unacquainted with. And it was still more amusing to hear of parties, some of them old stagers, too, candidly admitting the fact of their subsc r ipti on to their lists, and the confidence in the investment of their moneys. The proof of the pudding is in the eating, and I should not be surprised to hear of this firm becoming a great fact' in the racing circles.—Akaus. Sept. 20, 1832."

Litt up the wail, and let the dirge be rung; The roll of mufflad drums appal the ear; The Doad March peal; the lun'ral hymns be sung— The Nation's Hero lies upon his bier. A Beacon-light hath vanish'd from the earth ; A Master-spirit from the human race ; A worthy, foremost in the ranks of worth, Is missing from his old accustom'd place. The Conqueror's halls are desolate, at last; Where comrades triumph'd mourners sob instead;— The " Iron Duke " to Death's domain has pass'd. The Patriarch hath bow'd his hallow'd head. His country weeps—Oh 1 melancholy day! Her long familiar Pride for ever snatched away.

FASHION.—T RE Duhay D'Golber DIPTHERA BONNET.—Madame g, whose name is known throughout civi lised Europe as the presidia Goddess of Fashion , has just astonished her v o t ar i es by th g e production of a chapeau. The history of this novelty is so mew hat curi ou s, and peculiarly marks the character of the Parisians. Madame D'Gclberg, about to retire full of honours, was struck with a desire to leave a something which should attach a " glory to her name." Fired with the notion, and in the pure spirit of a Frenchwoman, she seized upon a skin of polished leather, and in an instant converted it into a bonnet. Yes, a bonnet— charming as ever claimed Paris as its birthplace! Madame has secured a patent for her ingenuity, and bas conterred upon Messrs . Jay, of Rege nt - s t r eet, the exclusiv e ri g ht of te sale in this c ountry o f those made in black and violet. The pos session of these bonnets has already become a perfect furor in Paris; and the really beautiful way in which the material is made subservient to every style of wearer, from the truly c c _ quetish t o the sombre or demure, fully justifies this distinc ti".—Morning Herald.

A royal cl.cree, dated 10th inst., and countersigned by Senor Bravo Murillo, was published at Madrid on the 12th inst., by which the duties on hardwares and other miscellaneous articles, and also on flax, linen thread, Saxon wool, woollen cloths (called Lanas Dulces), and on mules, are ordered to be re duced. The duty on flax was increased about one third in 1849, and both the importation and the revenue fell off in consequence; it is henceforth to be 22 reels per quintal, being 10 per cent. on the estimated value of 220 reals per quintal, and carded ditto 30 reels, being 10 per cent. on the estimated value of 300 reels, these duties being nearly the same as those paid before 1849, Under a foreign flag, these duties will be 27 and 35 reels per quintal. Linen thread (crude) paid 63.60 and 79.50 reals per quintal, according to the flag ; it is now to pay, if crude or half bleached, 50 and 55 reals per quintal; full bleached ditto, 65 and 70 reels, and dyed ditto, 100 and 105 reals. Saxon wool paid 150 and 180 reels per quintal: it will now pay, if unwashed, 63 and 68 reels; and if wash e d 84 and 89 reel s . W oo ll en goods (called Lanas Dulces) paid 12.70 reels per square vara in Spanish ships, which is stated to be 64 to 74 per cent. The duty is to be reduced to 8 reals the square vara, stated to be equivalent to 14 reels the lineal vara, and to 48 per cent. ad valorem. In foreign ships it will be 9.60 reels. The duty on the last-named article was doubled in December last year, by its being in cluded in the class of woollen cloths; and the impor tation, which in the lest eight months of 1851 was 96,956 vans, was only 6,364 varas for the first six months of 1852. In hardwares and miscellaneous articles the follow ing changes are made :—plain buttons, metal horn ; pasteboard covered, and the materials for covering paid 6.25 and 7.50 reels per lb., according to the flag.
