It is announced that the Prince President will receive the members of the Legislative Body en habit de this evening (Saturday), at St. Cloud. The Courrier du Nord states that a rumour pre vailed at Valenciennes of its being the intention of Louis Napoleon, after the deliberation of the Senate on the Empire to make a tour in the Northern de partments, and visit Amiens, Arras, Douai, Lille, Valenciennes, Cambray, and St. Quentin. The Progrs du Pas•de• Calais also mentions the ru mour, and even states that preparations to receive him have been commenced at Amiens. The Constitutionnel has the following, in reply to an article in the Times, on the release of Abd-el- Kader " Nothing is more difficult than to satisfy had cha racters. Thwart them and they arc in despair ; grant what they ask and the result is the same. We have an old proverb which is applicable to the case, sshich we will not repeat, but of which the Times every day reminds us. The English journal finds a means of blaming even the liberation of Abd-el-haler. It is unnecessary for us to call to mind the long itrid ridiculous declamations of the English press ou the sub ject of the detention of the Emir; if, therefore, there is a measure which they ought to applaud, it is the libera tion of the prisoner of Amboise. The Times, however, throws out tire and flames, and discovers iu this act of Louis Napoleon a fresh perfidy, and an indirect blow dealt against England. It rewinds its readers with hor ror of the words lac Francais which Louis Napoleon, making use of an expression of his uncle, has applied to the Mediterranean. That is the explanation of all the mystery. The coasts of France and Algeria already represent a great part of the shores of the Mediter ranean; French troops occupy the Roman:States; Gret ea is a hotbed of French intrigues; Louis Napoleon has assumed the character of protector of the holy places ; Egypt is already our vassal, since the Pacha has made a present to the President of three horses, and Louis Na poleon has returned the compliment by a service of Por celain. Nothing, therefore, remains free in the Medi terranean but what belongs to Turkey and England. The Machiavelic calculation of the President is this— either Turkey will refuso to take charge of AbJ-el- Kader and that will be an excellent pretext for taking C mstantinople and Asia Minor, in order to punish tha Turkish Government for its bad feeling— or Turkey will consent, and Abd-cl Kader will not fail to escape, and Constantinople and Asia Minor will be taken, in order to 6punish Turkey for watching him so carelessly ; so that in every way Louis Napoleon is sure of attaining his object, which is, to set fire to all the nations on the shores of the Mediterranean. It is not neeeisary for us to say, that with a man win has changed Rome, Greece, and Egypt into as many French Pachalics, and who is with a turn of his hand to Conquer all Turkey, Malta and the lonian Islands would stand but little chance. The release of Abd-el-Kader is, therefore, a measure directed again►t England. Why, Nye would ask, has the English journal so often called for what now so much alarms it? We only mention such Pitiful remarks in order to show the bad faith with which every act of the French Government is calumniated abroad. In order to blacken France and her chief, the foreign journals neither hesitate at absurdity nor folly. We have not the slightest care about tranquillizing the Times and the Cockneys, who believe what it says. The Times is one of those intrepid reasoners which nailing shakes in its determined contradiction. It re quires nothing less than cannon-shots to convince it that We wish to labour and prosper in peace, and do not think of it. Let ns, therefore, avow ourselves to be the thun derers of wsr and conquerors, since that is the only Means by which we can live in qniet." A Paris correspondent of the Independance of Brus eels, alluding to reports of arrests in Paris, on Satur day last, says : " The number of arrests on this occasion has been touch exaggerated. In the first instance, it is not true that the persons who were in the Cafe de Paris were ordered b y the police to pull off their hats to the Prince, and M. Estancelin, whose name has been mentioned, had no altercation with any body, Three persons only were arrested, viz., M. de Selles, formerly hojudge o f t h e Court of Appeal, and M. Caqueray, a o. d owner at Ver sa ill es , f or h av i n g harangued the pub- They we re set at lib erty a f ter being interrogated; !I third person, named Fontaine, a house-painter, who had d expressed aloud in the passage of the opera the esire to see the triumphal arch fall on the head of the Prince, has not been released.

This is an error. ilAhenereegiment occupied the barracks of the Quai de is true ; 1 8 1' the demolition of which has been ordered, and thereupon th e reg i ment was o bli ge d to leave. What that five or six privates of the regiment were sent to prison for having, in a low public house at Vin eurezterr efead aloud to some persons of bad character M. Charras." Another Paris correspondent of the iniependance 51 161--- fo h p Ll.,lltil the present time no one could really say if rme, President wanted to be made Ea3peror. The ilootnosvotenrg anecdote on the point comes to me from a good uu lite ," During the last session of the Sentve a great of petitions were sent to Prince J6rome, asking fernhe r e - establishment of the Empire. Tney were re- Lee 9 to the bureaux, and M. Sapey, an old friend of u le n Napoleon's brother, was appointed to draw P the report. M. Sapey set to work, but was un certain what conclusions he ought to come to. Re Fe:salted one of the Ministers, who declared that, us ;--hentlPernennecits opinion was not known, the best plan "old be to go to the Elysk, and speak to some of the there. When ho arrived there, he was in -I,,cireted by one of the intimates of the President, that no 'no knee what the Prince intended, and that the best thin g was to d raw up the report as or d ere d, to conclude co thou g h t b est, and that then the gent l emen wou ld lay the document before the Prince. M. Sapey, aocord 'B?gly dr ew up the report, recommending as his conchs es that all the petitions should be referred to thefo f n ° ,.eil of Ministers, as the Empire was eagerly asked u the countyr. lie forwarded he Report the Pri nce ', where it was laid before Louts to s Napoleon.

The cu rious could not learn more. The Second Autumn Meeting (Paris Races) which c ame off on Thursday in the Champ-de-Mars, did o tattract so large an attendance of ordinary spec tatorstte is generally seen on Sundays—only that side of the course on which the stands are being fully O ccupied ; but en reranche there was a goodly num "al of carriages and horsemen within the ropes, the !stands were well filled (though there were fewer ladies), and there was a very fair gathering of mem bers of the jockey and other clubs, and of gentlemen o f the turf. The day's business was on the whole a good one. The Prince President, attended by two of his orderly officers, arrived just before the first race Was run, and remained for a short time. The Prince Caine on horseback, and on his arrival and departure the troops presented arms, whilst the drums beat aux-chempe. All the noblemen and gentlemen pre sent remained uncovered while the Prince passed. The Minister of State (M. Fould), the Minister of War (General Saint-Arnaud), the Commander-in- Chief of the National Guard (General Lawcnstine), the Prefect of the sine (M. Berger), Count de Morny, late Minister of the Interior, and other eminent official personages were present. An incident, which was near being attended with fatal consequences, marked the descent of M Mayer, in his balloon at Marseilles, a few days The balloon came d own i n a field nearthe minus, but just a s M.

Tins GOOD RUINE DllNE—Amongst the new pro jects of the day, one has appeared for working the St. Josephsberg and other copper mines on the Virnenberg, about tw o m il es from the Rhine, bet ween C o l o gne and Cob lentz. These mines are held under a grant from the Prus. s iau Government i n perpetuity, free of all duties and royal haveuntil the pr o d uce, at the. Government valuation, shall equalled the capital expended. A provisional agree ment has been made for the purchase of these mines for to OWL, by a company established at Paris under the French law of Lommandite," with a council in London, who are all gemen well k nown in the commercial world, and also in terested uu in m i n i ng affairs. The capital required for this ertaluDg is 75,000/, its *bares 9111, each. THE CONTINENT. SPAIN. Accounts have arrived from Madrij,datcd the 17th inst. The delegates from the Daquo provinces and the commission appointed to consider along with them the question of the /Items met on the previous day for the first time. Nothing but formal business was transacted. As the 17th was Suuday the Bourse was closed. GERMANY. The Minister of Foreign Affairs of Austria has fully approved of the preparatory labours relative to the political and commercial question that the Minis ter has transmitted to him. The system of customs unions, as laid down in the memorials of the years 1849 and 1850, will, it is said, be modified, Po that from the Ist of January, 1854, the Austrian Govern ment will be prepared to enter into a customs union with all the states that shall be willing to join it. The latest letters received at Trieste from Alex andria make no mention of the English expedition to the Persian Gulf. Most of the German States, and amongst them Austria, Bavaria, Wurtemberg, the Grand Duchy of Baden, the two Hesses, Saxony, and Hanover, have, in imitation of Prussia, resolved not to sign any pass ports for workmen to go to Switz , :=rland, and, ac cording to the Nuremberg Correspondent, they think of recalling the workmen who are already in that country. The reason assigned for these measures is to preserve the workmen from the schemes of the Socialists. ITALY. A letter from Rome of the 14th, i❑ the Journal des Dibats, says :—" It is said here that Sir 11. Bulwer, whose health is delicate, and to whom the climate of Rome appears more favourable than that of Florence, intends prolonging his stay here, without, however, giving up his post of minister at the Court of I'm, cany. Is this a new phase in the mission with which he has been charged to the Roman government ? That is not impossible, for time alone can now offer him any chance of success, and yet it is more than probable that he will not arrive at any conclusion. The Court of Rome is, with respect to England, in a posi tion good enough not to allow herself to be induced to quit it, and, in tact, the measures which have raised so much clamour in England have not the less received their application there. Some journals have presented in a false light the object of Cardinal Hohenloh's mission to Vienna. The matter did not relate, as was said, to fix the indemnity to be paid by the Pontifical government to the Imperial army of occupation in the legations, since that indemnity has been long fixed and paid. The question WAS to ob tain a reduction of the amount paid. That reduction of about a million francs, has been conceded by the Emperor, being about the one•fifth pert of the whole sum paid each year. The Duke of Modena has been passing some days here; he is returning from Naples to his own dominions." The Sardinian squadron anchored on the 15:h in the roadstead of Ilyeres, under the command of Count de Persano. It consists of two frigates, a corvette, and three brigs, and is proceeding from Palma to Genoa. The Provincial Council of Vercelli (Piedmont) de cided, in its sitting of the 18th, that it would contri bute 350,000 fr. towards the construction of the Ver celli and Casale railway line, and 150,000 fr. towards that of the Vercelli and Mortara line. The Giornale di Roma of the 14th contains a noti fication announcing that in consequence of the late concessions of the Pope notified by the Minister of Commerce on the 9th of August, a great fair is to be held at Terracina, which is to commence on the 2d of November, and end on the 16th of the same month. Letters from Rome of the 14th, in the Risorgimento of Turin, state that the excavations commenced in the Forum of Rome have led to the discovery of the foun dations of the Julian basilica to the extent of about 100 yards in length, and 30 in breadth. The pave. went is of maabie of different kinds, including some large slabs of giallo antico, and the bases of several pilasters have been laid open. The Pope, who some days back gave the Cross of the Holy Sepulchre to a French painter, M. Dumas, author of the picture representing St. Peter and St. Paul going to martyrdom, has just conferred the Cross of St. Gregory on one of the French students at Rome, M. Andre, architect of the monument raised to the memory of the French soldiers killed during the seige of Rome. SWITZERLAND. The Courrier Suisse of October 18, says :—" The railway commission is definitely concluded, and signed both by the delegates of the central committee and by those of the government. The following are the lines agreed on—from Bile Campagne to Lower Hauen stein, by means of a tunnel to pass the mountain there towards the frontier of Argau, between Olten and Arbourg ; from Olten on the right bank of the Aar in a❑ eastern direction towards Arau ; from Soleure in an eastern direction to the Berne frontier towards lierzogenbuchsee ; and from Soleure in a western directio❑ on the left of the Aar to Bienne and Granges." DENMARK. The court•martial, which was summoned to try the prisoners who were accused of being engaged in the- tumult between Holstein riflemen and Danish soldiers at Christianhausen, has sentenced one rifleman to 16 days' imprisonment and military degradation to the second grade, a subaltern rifleman to a similar degra• dation, with 15 days' imprisonment; a cornet to 15 stripes with the cane, 20 days' imprisonment on bread and water, and military degradation; and finally, two other subalterns to 5 days' incarceration in a dark dungeon. TURKEY. We have received accounts from Constantinople (says the Constitutionncl) to the 7th, via Germany, which, without announcing any solution relative to the loan, informs us of the different phases through which it had passed. On the 6th, after leaving the Sultan, the Ministers went to the Porte, where they held an extraordinary council, and which several per sons who do not form part of the Cabinet were invited to attend. The sitting continued until night, but nothing was decided on. It was, however, said that a definitive decision would be come to on the 9th. The French Ambassador had, it is said, pointed out to the Government the incalculable consequences and even the danger which would infallibly arise from a refusal of ratification. It was added, that he was in a few days to have an audience of the Sultan, and it was this step principally which was calculated on to shake the repugnance of the Palace. In the mean time the anxiety felt in the money market at Con stantinople cannot be conceived, much less described ; and as the houses which are not compromised directly with the Bank are so indirectly by their business re lations with other houses, the panic is general. M. J. A lleon, one of the directors of the Bank, has tendered his resignation offering his fortune in payment of the sums which he has guaranteed. The Govern ment would not accept it, and has requested him to continue his functions, assuring him that everything would be arranged. M. E. Baltazzi, the other di rector, has not yet manifested his intentions. The affair of the customs becomes every day more gloomy ; the deficit of M. Djezaerli, the farmer-general, is es timated at 60 millions of piastres (15 millions of francs), and it is stated that the Council had decided that the Ex-Grand Vizier, Rechid Pacha, and the Ex-Minister of Finance, Hafiz-Pacha, should be held responsible for this sum. On the very day when the courier left, a mee ti ng h a d b een h e ld a t th e mint to examine into the affair.

This arrangement will be under the direction of the City authorities and the Police Commissioners, and will he carried nut in a similar manner to the annual civic procession on the 9th of November. SPORTING NOTES. No. CCCXXXIL• The preliminary arrangements for this great national ceremonial are at length finally completed. The plan of tne interior of St. Paul's Cathedral, showing the posi tion of the various galleries to be erected for the accom modation of spectators, and the order of the funeral from the entry of the procession et the tvcst door to the centre under the dome, where the coffin will descend, has been submitted to the Prince Consort, whose approbation was conveyed in flattering terms, and the works are now in full operation. Mr. Thomas Cubitt, has been entrusted with the duty of carrying out the design, the merit of which belongs to the office of Woods and Forests. The great advantage of the plan is, that while accommodation is afforded by it to a vast number of spectators—many more than it might have been expected the cathedral would crintain—nearly all of them will have an oppor tunity of witnessing the ceremonial from their seats without difficulty. The known resources of Mr. Cubitt's establishment are a auflieient guarantee for the mariner THE NEWMARKET HOUGHTON MEETING. Sta,—The sport for the ensuing week, from the strong programme put forth, in all probability, will bo the most successful meeting at head quarters this year The ma jority of the stakes, are, as yet, of the skeleton descrip tion ; but should they all fill, a result to bo devoutly %ishod—there will bs no less than fifty-one races for the six days, independently of nineteen matches, divided in the following manner—On Monday, seven stakes and four matches ; Tuesday, nine stakes and a match ; Wed nesday, nine stakes and four matches ; Thursday, nine stakes and three matches ; Friday, a plethora of sport, eleven stakes and three matches being set down ; and Saturday winds up with six stakes and four matches. The first race on Monday, the 501. Handicap Plate, over the Cambridgeshire course, will be run at an early hour—one o'clock. This stake, together with the 25 soya Handicap, D.M.; and the four 10 soya Sweepstakes respectively, run over the D.M. Ab.M.; first half of the Ab. M., and Criterion Courie, have yet to close and name. PURCHASE OF THE LAND FOR THE NEW NATIONAL GALLERIES. Thd Royal Commissioners, who were constituted a permanent body by a charter granted by Tier Ma jesty immediately on the closing of the Great Exhi bition, have recently completed some very large pur chases of land, which it is understood are to be applied to the above object, in combination with museums such as that now at Marlborough-house, or generally for the promotion of arts, manufactures,and commerce. The charter referred to gave power to appropriate the surplus derived from the Great Exhibition to such purposes, but the extent even of the land purchases must h lye already exhausted that surplus, and the nation will have to supply the requisite funds for all that is to follow. in which the work will be executed. All the timber used —upwards of 500 loads is the estimated quantity— will be ( f the finest description, and the supervision of the works is already conducted exactly as if a permanent building were in the course of erection. The Criterion oro S n t t a h kes tehe , nws will, l , five ienac furlongsli a , li 9 0 h u ft.— human yards,from tl a io nd turn all la r o n i f t likelihood, be contested by Sittingbourne, Bst 131 b ; Filbert, 83t 7lb ; Anglo-Saxon. Bst 71b ; Milesian, Bst 71b ; Speed-the Plough, Bst 71b ; and perhaps an other. Mr. Bowes' West Aus:ralian, I believe, will not start ; and I think it very dubious whether either Sylphino or North Pule goes to the post. Cheddar has bt eu for some time set down no a non-starter. The first and second places, I think, will be filled by PinisEnT and SITTINGBOURNE, Anglo-Saxon being in very close attendance. This last-named horse is decidedly the best of Mr. Jaques' Derby lot ; and some twelve months ago great things were expected of him. It is a curious fact, and well worth recording—what the dealer in omens may think of it I know not, but merely chronicle the fact—that the winner of the Criterion Stakes—the very likeliest test upon the Turf for Epsom, being a steady rise from beginning to end—has never in twenty two encounters carried off the Derby ; although there are a couple of conquerors of the St. Leger enrolled amongst their number. In 1829, Variation (second) won the Oaks. In 1831, Ilargrave, its winner, swept the St. Leger. In 1834, the Victrix, Preserve, was landed second for the Oaks. In 1835, Elis won this stake and the St. Lev . . In 1839, Crucifix, with the steadying weight of 9st. up ran a dead beat with Gibraltar, Bst 71b, and bore away the Oaks. In 1840, Ralph was landed here a winner, and was, no doubt, the second best horse who ran for the following Derby. In 1843, Ratan was the first horse that caught the judge's eye; and what might have been the Epsom issue but for the Running Rein fracas, and other un pleasant matters, no man of the present generation can take upon himself to affirm. In 1845, Sting, with 71b extra, was the victor; and that he was beyond all doubt the best threelears old, and on his merits should have carried off boll Derby and St. Leger, nobody can deny. In 1846, Mr, Payne's Clementina, the winner hero, ran second for the Oaks; and in 1849, Pitaford, second,:in the Criterion, occupied a like position in the Derby. Match, 100, h ft, Bst 71b each, D.M.

The Duke's Gossip, Bst 81b, will find plenty of work to do to beat Walnut, at 7st The site chosen for the realization of all this is at Kensington-gore. Behind Gore-house and the line of houses which stretches almost uninterruptedly from the new houses of Hyde Park-terrace up to Xensington turnpike is an ext9nsive tract of land, now principally occupied as marker-gardens, except that part of it which abuts westward on the road called Gloucester-road, in which Mr. Canning's house nr,d grounds, called Glocester- lodge, were situated. Most of this laud belonged to the Baron de Villars and Lord Harrington, though a portion of some ex tent on the north side, near the Kensington-road, was the property of the parish of St. Margaret, Westminster. The whole site is very beautifully disposed, gradually sloping to the south from the high ground of Hyde Park down to the Old Brompton-road. Great part of this land, in the time of the Commonwealth, belonged to the Pro tector, and his name is still preserved in " Cromwell's lane" and " Cromwell-house," though, except garden walls of great strength and solidity, there are no re mains of his time. The lower part of the land is familiarly termed " Brompton-grove," and is orna mented with some really fine timber in the gardens and grounds still remaining on the southern part of the estate. The first tract of land obtained by the Commissioners was from the trustees of the parish of St. Margaret, Westminster, from whom it is under stood 20 acres were obtained, at a cost of 60,000., or th-reabouts; but the principal purchase (a very recent one) is from the Baron de Villars, who has sold 48 acres of land to the Commissioners for the large sum of 150,000/. For some smaller purchases to complete the boundary as much as 4,0001. per acre has been asked, and, we believe, given. The general scheme we understand to be this, — About 200 yards on this side of the turnpike at Ken sirgton a road is to be cut, 100 feet wide, from Ken sington-gore to Brompion, coming out at the back of Onslow-square. This road will furnish an enormous frontage for the new galleries to the west, and the facade will return at the south end to any depth re quired. The quantity of land secured will also allow of ornamental grounds around the building to a con siderable extent. The price paid for this land is certainly very great and perhaps greater than has ever been realized before under similar circumstences ; but still, notwithstand ing the extravagant, not to say extortionate, demands of the owners for land which, to a considerable extent, is now only growing cabbages and onions for the Lon don market, we are glad the land is secur e d f or na tional objects, even at a national price.—Tintes. The ceremony of the " lying in state" will, it is under stood, be carried out upon a scale of megnificence n,ver before attempted in this country, or perhaps even in Europe. Chelsea College has been selected as the locale, and probably a more judicious selection could scarcely have been made. For convenience of arrangement and locality, it may fairly held comparison with any other building in or near London, whilst its appropriateeese as the haven of our old military warriors will be at once readily admitted. The building consists chieoy of a central apartment of octagonal form, opening on the one side into the Great Hall, and on the other into the chapel of the college. The whole of this range will be fitted up iu a❑ appropriate manner, the walla and every portion of the building being draped and festooned with black cloth, and other appropriate funereal emblems. The Great Hall, where the "lying in state" will take place, is an apartment of noble dimensions, 150 feet long by nearly 50 broad and 40 high. The Marquis of Exe ter, as her Majesty's Lord Chamberlain, has the dine).- lion of this portion of the ceremonial. His lordship, naturally anxious that so important a feature in the national tribute to the memory of the great duke should be at once worthy of the country and the man, wisely placed the matter in the hands of one of the first architects and artists of the day, Professor Cock erel', R.A., who in the kindest manner consented to act, and at once prepared a series of elaborate and very beautiful sketches. Those designs have already received the warm approval of her Majesty and Prince Albert, and the progress of the works is only delayed by the care necessary in the removal of those time-honoured relics, in the shape of captured flags, with which the walls of the old hall are hung. Many of these flags were taken in the Duke of Wellington's own battles, and it is intended that all these shall be introduced in the decoration of the chamber, after the walls have been draped. Colonel Sir John Morilyon Wilson, C. 8., K.H., adjutant of the Royal Hospital, who was present in many hard-fought actions with the Duke, has kindly undertaken the re-arrange ment of these interesting relics. The catafalque on which the coffin will rest is to be placed at one end of the hall, opposite to the door through which the public will be admit° ed. The windows will be all dark, and the only light obtained will be from colossal wax candles contained in silvered candelabra, fourteen feet high, of which there are nearly one hundred placed at stated intervals along the hall, which will be lined with men of the Grenadier Guards (the Duke's regiment) with their arms reversed. The period that has elapsed since the Duke's death has been occupied to very great advan tage by the Earl Marshal and his assistants in the Col lege of Arms. The heraldic and armorial decorations have been arranged with the greatest possible accuracy, and it is believed the effect of this portion of the cere monial will far exceed anything of the kind witnessed of late years. Sir Charles Young, Garter King-at-Arms, is devoting himself to the completion of all the important matters coming within his department. I❑ consequence of the elaborate nature of the prepara tions it is understood that great doubt exists as to the precise period of their completion. The interest taken in all that belongs to the ceremonial by her Majesty and Prince Albert leads to a presumption that nothing will be allowed to be imperfectly done, and it is therefore more than probable that the date of the funeral may even yet be deferred beyond the day already fixed. It is understood that her Majesty will attend the ceremo nial of the " lying in state" in person, and that the period during which the public will be allowed to view it will be increased from three to six days. Even under this arrangement there will no doubt be many and serious disappointments. The interest felt throughout the country in the matter is already beginning to mani fest itself, and excursion trains are advertised to run daily during the ceremonial from all the important towns in the kingdom. The public will be admitted without 12 lb. Match, 100 h ft, D.I. Dromedia, Bst 71b, against Warbler, Bst, will terminate, I fancy, in favour of the former. Tuesday's racing will commence with the 1001. Handi cap Plate D. I. This, with the 501. Plato, last three the e d four last h l e o l f s e o f v t s . h miles of the B. C. the selling and 15 soya.

The latest particulars concerning this im portant race will be published on Monday. Match 100 h ft, T.Y.C., Bst 71b each.

The Glasgow Stakes of 100 soya. each h ft, last three quarters of the H.

The 50 Soya. Sweepstakes over the Ab. M., I pre sume, will bring to the post Nicotine, Pharold, and Glenavon, Nicotine, perhaps, being the beet. The run ning of Sylphine is so doubtful that I can say nothing about her chance at the present time. Match, 200 h ft, T Y.C.

This match will probably terminate in favour of the Duke. tickets. The audience chamber at the Horse Guards is in course of preparation for the reception of the body on the night before the funeral. It has been stated that the procession on the following morning will move from this point. There appears, however, to be some doubt about this. In tho Earl Marshal's office precedents are al- - _ lowed to have their full weight, and in this case it is considered that the body of England's greatest naval hero having rested one night at the Admiralty previously to its interment, so also that of her greatest warrior should repose under the roof where his talents and his experience have proved of such incalculable advantage to his country. On the other hand, it is urged that Nelson had no residence in London—that his home was upon the ocean in his good ship Victory, and hence the ne cessi'y arose for allowing his remains to repose one night at the Admiralty, after their removal from Green wich. Wellington, it is observed, had a mansion, henceforth celebrated in history ; and where could his body more appropriately rest, previously to his final deposition in the tomb, than in his own Waterloo gal lery It is even urged that, out of deference to the feelings of the Duke's family, his remains should be allowed to pass the night previously to their inter ment under the roof of Apsley House. Whatever course may be ultimately determined on, it is clear that at the present moment uncertainty exists on this point. It is moreover generally understood that a strong pressure is being made upon trie Government by parties of high rank, who are disappointed at the cur tailment of the space over which the procession will past. A noble duke resident in Piccadilly is said to have invited more than 200 friends to view the proces sion from his mansion, anticipating its departure from Apsley House. Another inst ance of disappointment has arisen at the United Service Club, the whole front of whose mansion had actually been ordered to be fitted up for the accommodation of their members. Under present arrangements the body of the Duke will be removed from Chelsea College to the Horse Guards on tho evening previous to the funeral. The military allowed to take part in the procession will as semble on the parade ground at an early hour; and here also the foreign ministers, peers, members of the House of Commons, &c., ‘ invited to take part, will be marshalled. The body will be conveyed on a funeral car, executed after a very elaborate and beautiful design which has also been approved of by Prince Albert. The details of the procession have not yet been finally determined on. The extensive character of the ceremonial has induced the Lord Chamberlain to divide the responsibility of its successful carrying out between two of the most cele brated London establishments. Messrs. Dowbiggen and Hollands, the private upholsterers of the late Duke, are entrusted with the removal of the body from Weimer to Chelsea Hospital, and all the arrangements in con nection with the " lying in state " at that place. From Chelsea Hospital, Messrs Banting and Son, of St. James's-street, who have hold the appointment of up , holsterers to the royal household for more than half a century, will take charge of the body, and conduct the proceedings of the following day to the final deposition of the remains to the tomb. Match, 300 h ft, T.Y.C. At the present moment I am inclined to think Mountain Flower, 3 yrs, Bst 71b, will receive forfeit from Cheddar, 2 yrs, 7 st 51b. Saturday's races commence with the 5 sovs. sweep stakes over the first half of the Ab. M. This, with the Houghton Handicap, two 10 sovs.sweepstakes, the sell ing, and 15 soya. handicap, are devoid of nomination. Match, 200 h ft, T.Y.C., Bst 71b each. Lord Ches terfield's Angelo will beat the Duke of Bedford's Pen , sioner. Match, 200 h ft, D.M. A close race may be antici pated between Caracara, Bst 71b, and Sackbut, Bst 51b; and it seems to me to be a toss-up for choice between them. Match, 200 h ft, A.F. Hothorp, Sat 31b, ought to beat the Knight of the Garter, 7at 71b. Match, 200 h ft, T.Y.C. Lord Glasgow's filly, by Don John out of Miss Sarah, will beat the Duke of Bed ford's Ernestine. With this match concludes the outline of as fine a meeting as ever graced Newmarket's heath. I should observe that the last day's races will commence in the forenoon—half-past eleven, I believe.—l am, tkc. Oat. 23. THE SPIRIT OF THE TURF. It has already been made known that the Lord I Mayor's dinner has been postponed from,the usual esty ' to s ' som e future day, to be na med by her Ma j Ministers, By the accompanying resolution it will be seen that the master (Mr. Richards) and wardens of the Merchant Tailors' Company have also postponed their annual banquet until after the funeral of the late Duke of Wellington:—" Resolved unanimously, That this Court, impressed with a deep sense of the severe and irreparable loss which they, in common with the nation at large, have sustained by the lamented decease of Field Marshal his Grace the Duke of Wellington, desire to record the expression of their sincere feelings of reverence and respect to the memory of the illus trious deceased, whose long and eventful life was inva riably and successfully dedicated to the service of his country ; whose brilliant achievements as a warrior, dis tinguished for his great moral firmness and high sense of duty, inspired confidence and enthusiasm in the field, and secured for him the confidence of his Sovereign, th e gratitude of his country, and the admiration and respect of every nation. That, while sincerely deploring the mournful event which has deprived England of her greatest son, the Court are not insensible to the distin guished honour, which, in the memorable year 1614, was conferred upon them by having the illustrious name of ' Wellington' recorded under his own hand among the honorary members of the company, and enrolled in the Chamber of London, at Guildhall, upon receiving the freedom of this great city, as a citizen and merchant tailor ; nor can this Court fail to bear in remembrance, with feelings of pride and gratification, that the last visit of the illustrious deceased to participate in the hospi talities of the company was upon the occasion of his Royal Highness Prince Albert, her Majesty's Consort, honouring the company with his presence at dinner in be for the their Hall, on the 11th of June, 1849.

NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. His Grace the First Lord and a Board of Admiralty will proceed to Portsmouth on an official visit on Mon day. The board will most likely return to Whitehall on Wednesday. The Hon. captain Duneombe has left the Admiralty on an o fficial visit to Holyhead. We are sorry to report that the assistant master at tendant at Portsmouth, Mr. Henry Davy, died at his residence in the dockyard at 11.30 a.m. on Thursday, aged 49, deeply regretted by his relatives, old shipmates, and friends, by whom he was highly esteemed. Mr. Davy died from a tumour in the stomach. Ho had been sent from Portsmouth to navigate the Duke of Wellington, 131, to Portsmouth, but was obliged to give up the charge of that ship to Mr. Brown. gr. Allen, one of the most able and efficient masters in the service, who served in the late Arctic expedition, and no w of the Hogue, 58, it is reported, will most likely have the vacancy. PORTSMOUTH, OCT, 22. The Duke of Wellington screw line of battle ship has had her jurymasts taken out to-day, and is ready to go into dock to be fitted out. The Electra, 14, Commander Morris sailed from Spithead this morning for Australia and New Zealand. The Niger, 14, Commander- Heath, has been paid wages down to one month this afternoon. Alarm, 26, Captain Ramsay, was mustered, exercised, and inspected, on Thursday, by Admiral Sir J. A. Ommanney, who expressed himself highly pleased with the discipline of the crew. She will go into harbour to be paid off. Cuckoo, steam-vessel, is employed as a tug at Sheer ness, during the repairs of the African.

LITERATURE. Stoehene Bond Book to the Practice of the Contmex Law Procedure Act and Bankruptcy. Waterlow and Sons, London Wall. The 24th instant will become memorable in the annals of legal jurisprudence, for on that day come' into operation the Common Law Procedure Act, and with it the downfall of special demurrers, long and craftily contrived pleadings, jury process, distringss , and a host of lumbering forms and tricky technicali ties, which tended to retard, and not to facilitate,, the speedy administration of justice. The pleaders, one and all, may now exclaim, " Othello's occupa tion's gone ;" but if we mistake not, the new Act will furnish many points of difficulty, in practice, for the ingenuity and talent of these learned pundits. Among the many works that have been recent published on the subject, there is one by Mr. Stocken, which displays great assiduity and research. The author is evidently a practical man, and well expe rienced in his profession : he has digested the various sections of the Act in a masterly manner, and his notes comprise a great number of important sugges tions for working out the new statute. Stocken's bland Book is a valuable addition to the library of the common law lawyer, and IN ill prove a useful corn pinion to the country practitioner. Th e wor k , i n addition to the new statute, gives, in extenso, the Evidence and Absconding Debtor's Acts, and the mode of proceeding thereunder, with the practice and decisions relating to trader, debtors, summonses, judges' orders, removal of plaints, and appeals from county courts. The whole is interspersed with co pious notes, analytical and explanatory, and forms a volume that may be consulted with advantage both by practitioner and student. THE QUARTERLIES. The Quarterly Review No. CLXXXII. Murray. Reference, as in regard to the foregoing periodical, has already been made by us, in our leading columns to the political paper contained in the current number of the Quarterly. We have spoken in terms such as we cannot but conceive to be of deserved reprehension when alluding to the view taken by our Tory con temporary of the " Parliamentary Prospects"—a view calculated, we conceive, to imbitter the feelings of faction, and to throw impediments in the way of the more patriotic and enlightened members of the Derby Government. The object of the reviewer would seem to be that of infuriating rather than of conciliating the opposition. The old brand of insult —flaming as furiously as ever with sectarian bigotry —is flung once more with, as it were, a shout of in solent defiance, into the inflammable arena of Ireland. Never was such insensate folly—folly so preposter ously calculated to rouse the worst passions of the community, and to make the vast majority of the people of the United Kingdom look with suspicion, if not with actual hatred, at the existing Government. As we have already intimated, however, we cannot for an instant conjecture that the opinions here ex pressed by the Quarterly are those entertained by the prisikipal members of the Derby Administration. If they are, the Cabinet is doomed to a very speedy dissolution. Enough of this, however, and more than enough. Lawyers will turn with interest to the paper on " Lord Langdale ;" and ecclesiastics, and lovers of virtue, and admirers of oratory, will peruse with emotion the chapter dedicated to the analysis of the intellect of "Dr. Chalmers." The contribution upon the subject of " Gold Discoveries" comprises a mass; of valuable information about the diggings of California, and those also of Australia. Political eco nomists may be judiciously recommended to conn the argument having reference apparently to the " Irish Salmon," and to nothing else, but one which embraces within its range the whole of the ieportant question of the protection and the cultivation of the British Fisheries. Many besides Sir Charles Napier will find matter of interest in the article on " Scinde," while Sir Henry Ward will assuredly be not the only one disposed to peruse with attention the remarkable chapter upon the " lonian Islands." A very singular and philosophical paper upon " British Bards and Stonehenge" will be examined, we doubt not, with pleasurable surprise by many an antiquarian. The following conjectures as to the Greek origin of the mythology, and the worship, and the very language of the Druids, are, to say the least of them, remark ably ingenious : " Perhaps even the boldest speculations of men of genius are seldom utterly wrong. The strange conjec ture of Inigo Jones, about a temple open to the sky in honour of Jupiter Ccelus, may have been in this sense correct, that in such circles, nudaque sub ertheris axe, were worshipped, and perhaps represented, the element ary powers of nature. It requires scarcely a step to con sider such a temple as sacred to Apollo, the god of day. Nor does it appear, after all, that there is any absurdity in supposing some such megalithic structures in Britain to have originated the floating legends which passed from mouth to mouth at a period earlier than Herodotus, and for a century later, of a certain northern people, who dwelt happily, and were worshippers of Apollo. For the island in which I:leen:m.ls placel his happy dwellers beyound the north wind is described as beyond Celtica,' which, with deference to Mr. Herbert, wo think it no byeaeh of faith to translate Gaul. That is nearly the situation we want. The same people bad' a magnificent grove.' So far the Druids correspond. They had also a round temple: this might serve as a description either Avebury or Stonehenge. Again, they had a certain peculiar dialect;'—let any modern Greek pronounce whether the Welsh language would not to his ear suffi ciently bear out this description. At the same time, they had offeritga with Greek letters ;'—and they use Greeh letters are Caesar's words of the Druids. But they even understood the astronomical cycle introduced at Athena by Meton: strange as this may at first sound, when applied to the supposed barbarism of our ancestors, perhaps the meta de siderum motu may be held to indi cate that it is not really inapplicable. There are other points of correspondence. The island, for,lexample, is compared in point of size to Sicily—a comparison, which, if intended of Britain, would be sufficiently accurate for Greek legend, though not nearly so appropriate as what is also said of climate. For it was the singular felicity of the Hyperboreans that they lived sufficiently far north to be beyond the cradle of the north wiad ,• their island was mild; so our physical geographers still remark that our climate is, from oceanic causes, far more temperate than that of the continent in the same latitude. So many points of correspondence ought to have been considered with more respect. The sacrifice of asses may have been either a local peculiarity or a Greek misconception. Further on, the reviewer says— "We cannot doubt that there were Sillburys and Aveburys whioh have the same kind of analogy to Argos and Dodru! as the British Channel does to the Mediterranoenasnti.
