The " hero of a hundred fights," whose busy man hood Was passui t in a variety of climates, he escaped the perils of ;eh', and died, yesterday, at Weimer Castle, in his 114th year. It is a singular circumstance that many other dis tinguished men •,, ere born in the Fame year (1769) With the Duke :—greatest among these was the. Emperor NAPOLEON, and it is recorded that when this circumstance was mentioned in the hearing of Louis XVIII., that Monarch, with the graceful turn • of expression which distinguished him, remarked, addressing himself to the Duke, "It was PROYI- D "cE, who, when it sent the bane, at the same, time gave the antidote." The life of the Duke of WELLINGTON, from the date of ',his first commission (7th March, 1787)) until yesterday, when his remarkable, brilliant, and very fortunate career closed, is, in fact, a history of his country during sixty-five years. In peace, as well as in war, it has been his good fortune to have', served his country in most distinguished offices. His' . own opinion is said to have been that Nature intended him to have been a statesman. Re was mistaken—as! most men are—in the estimate of their own capacity and character. As a Minister, be was deficient in'; many qualifications , and his administ ra ti ve facult i es • (ever prompt, deci sive, and arbitrary), appear to have been schooled in the cam p , for their operation . smaaked somewhat of its discipline. v 0,, ,, en. he first became Premier, the manner 'n which r \" fluttering the Volscians" in the public offices), th e Duke struck dismay into the hearts of the Down ing -street officials—young gentlemen who came e for. gotten. retired early, and devoted most of their time to r the perusal of the newspapers —will never be gotten. The Duke, who was himself thard-working underlings man, had no idea of permitting to be idle, and his example and command speedily effected) many and much-required improvements in the public offices. Indeed, his industry, his applicat ion to bu siness, and his never allowing to-day's n ecessary' work to wait until to-morrow, enabled him to ha ve no ! arrears of business, and allowed him to exact industry , ' attention, and application from others. 1 The services of the Duke may be divided into two! separate eras. From 1787 until 1815, a period of! ne arly thirty years, he was actively em-i 131° Yed in the military service.

A sense of duty made him support the Repeal of the Corn-laws, but his politi cal life ended when Sir ROBERT PEEL abandoned power. Henceforth, the Duke was the personal riend and adviser of his SOVEREIGN—the arbiter of politics in the House of Lords—the Nestor on whom till eyes were turned, when any difficulty arose which wise experience, deep sagacity, and practical common sense could solve or conquer. Common sense, no doubt, was the great characteristic 1 3f this illustrious mind. It was perceptible in most of his actions, and was particularly so in his writings. Until the publication of ten volumes of his Own Despatches and Correspondence —more valuable by far han the commentaries upon which the better fame of Jumus CaSAR is founded—the public had no idea of `he grasp of mind, the plain good sense, and the practical intuition which experience best creates, and which, in combination, were the secret, as they formed the main sources, of the Duke's success. Even in a literary point of view these writings are remarkable : the expression of thought and will being clear and intelligible, while the composition often `ook place at the most untoward times and under he most extraordinary circumstances. The Despatch written on the midnight of the decisive day of Waterloo," after he had been some fourteen flours in the saddle, is one of the most remarkable went. He is canvassed by his masters, he is driven to the poll by his masters, he votes under the eye of his master's agent, brandishing the lash of ejection in his face, he votes his master into power, and himself into serfdom. We write patent facts. If a witness be needed we should summon Sir GEORGE GRIT, 3ompositions in the language. There is eloquence in its simplicity, and touching pathos in its brief allu 'ions to the gallant friends who had fallen around him. In his character, as a man, there was that proud simplicity of habits and tastes which so often dis -inguishes genius. The soubriquet of " The Iron Duke" marked the popular opinion of this great man. But under strong will and apparent coldness ran an under current of much that was genial and good. Few men had such warm attachments, or so many true and loving friends. Fewer still, we be lieve, more liberally or unostentatiously carried out :he noble charities which best show, because practi ally, the true benevolence of the heart. In his career, at once brilliant and useful, there' must have been many gleams of glory higher than, the rest. None, it is probable, equalled that unri-' valled hour when, in 1814, he who had left England,l mix years before, as plain Major-General WELLES.; LEY, took his seat in the House of Lords, and ad•J miring crowds of noble men and lovely' women heard," in that Senate-house, all hi s patents of nobility successively read by the official. ARTHUR. WELLESLEY was the first and only Bri tish subject who, in our days, took his seat as a Peer of the highest grade, having won all his titles by his own high merit. Of him, now a national loss, may be said, wh a t i s inscribed on the tomb of one not less illus trious, and whose character much resembled that which we have attempted to indicate,—of him it may be said, as was truly said of WASHINGTON, " that he was first in war, first in peace, first in the hearts of ais countrymen." Mr. SHARMAN CRAWFORD, or any one opposed' by large landowners. Now, how long, We " k, , is all decency and propriety to be out- 1 raged by such disgraceful oppression of such a deserving class ? Extension of the suffrage is, indeed,; a grand desideratum, but emanci pation of one actual constituency is, we think, the more pressing want. We know, and are fully pre pared to answer at length. the arguments, if they are worthy of the name, by which it is attempted to shoe that the Ballot would be useless. Why, the very opposition of the great intimidators to it ought to settle that question. Their instincts arel true. They believe not their own arguments ; they use them but to veil the unseemliness of refusing a really free vote to their tenants. They know that if they are so utterly unconscientious as to force a promise from a tenant against his conscience, that the tenant will regard his promise much as divines tell us that HEROD ought to have regarded his oath when it led to the murder of Jour/ TIIE BAPTIST. If be- trayed into a promise whose fulfilment would injure those whom he had no right to injure, the farmer will think his unoffending country has more claim upon him to break his promise than a tyrant land lord has upon his keeping it. Landlords know, too that resentment of unfairness is a very strong feeling in the bosom of JOHN Bum.. And if after the Legis lature has given him the right of secret voting, his old masters should attempt to reduce him to his former slavery, the attempt would be as electorally hasardous as it would be socially dangerous to seek to rivet afresh the broken fetters of 'West India slavery. 'We anticipate, indeed, very happy effects from the Ballot on the relations between landlord and tenant. The former, no longer able to attain political honours or objects by coercion, would find in ithem only an additional incentive to fairness and kindness. He would quietly resign any unjust legislative advantages he may now enjoy over his tenant. He would become the rea; exponent of their wishes and opinions. As general thing, farmers would still continue on their farms, and landlords still go to the House of Com mons, but they would go to represent the electors, and not themselves. Had we the en of our farmers, we would there fore advise them to demand, first of all, the removal of their heaviest burden, that of voting under the eye of their landlords. This is the burden which most of all assimilates their condition to that of slaves ; the burden which hinders the removal of any other from which the Legislature could relieve them ; or it is rather, if we may change the figure, the strap which binds all legislative burdens on their backs. Their masters, ashamed in most cases openly to assert a right to know, and thereby control their votes, will reiterate, no doubt, the old cant that secret voting is un-English ! They may be told, in reply, and told unanswerably, that if so, the titular, the professional, and the commercial aristocracies are thoroughly un- English aristocracies. They, in all their clubs, vote by ballot. They think it quite worthy of English gentlemen to do so. They justly consider that when, voting according to their own views might bring them into unpleasant or injurious collision with other persons, the ballot is then perfectly reasonable and s thoroughly English. Nay, they regard it as a safeguard for the preservation of pleasant and gentlemanly feelings where the performance of duty openly might hazard their continuance. Farmers, however, and all other men, too, well know that opposition to the vote by ballot means neither more nor ,less than de termination to retain the power of bribery and inti midation. The farmers are the class most degradingly and injuriously subjected to the latter, and we appeal to them to insist, in a manner not to be refused, upon their own immediate emancipation.

THE NORTHERN LIGHTS. By the Author of " Rural Sonnets"; " Ignea de Castro," a' Tragedy; and other Tragedies.) Behold, a pageant of the air—Behold, The Northmen's " Merry Dancers" in the sky, Whose polar bearings, rarefied by cold, Unveil a frosty brilliance to the eye. From the horizon to the zenith's height, The atmosphere is all alive with light,— Pulsing electrically to and fro— Now, in white streams, athwart the void, aflow— Now, tremulous throughout its vast extent, As tho' sensation with its thrills were bleat-- Now, in that arch auroral subtly trao'd, On columns breathing flame superbly bas'd— Now, in broad pencils, stretching left and right— A glory of the heavens! a mimic day in night! Another change—the vault above appears Ribb'd with ten thousand rays, like bristling spears; Now straight, now serpentine, they dart on high, And flash their wings of lightning as they fly, Till, distance-dimn'd, the volatile array Melt into other shapes, or melt away. What other shapes? As though by contact mass'd, The myriad rays have set the skies on fire; They glow, as when upon their depths are cast The flarings of some tall volcano's pyre; Or when some conflagration paints its tale On Night's expanse, to turn spectators pale. Lo I while we gasp, the fiery features fuse— Chameleon-like for change—their glare in bloodstain'd hues. The crimson mellows into blushing red; The train of " Merry Dancers' re-appears, While corruscations, from its footsteps shed, Flicker like ignis fatui of the spheres. A star, on some eathereal mission sent, Shoots from yon steeps adown the firmament; And sounds are heard too mystic to define; Too swift to analyse new meteors shine. The Phosphor-Spirit o'er the whole presides, And the great revels animates and guides; Pours the electric currents thro' the skies— A force to shatter worlds—in harmless guise; Now rests —or, now till day dawn keeps its place—. Its witnesses, the stars; and its arena, space. Inner Temple, Sept. 1852. THE LATE MR . J. C. NEILD, THE MISER. We duly chronicled in our last the death of that ec centric and parsimonious millionnaire, Mr. Neild, late of Chelsea. His remains were removed on Thursday last to Buckinghamshire, where they were interred in the neighbourhood of Aylesbury. There was a large con course of persons assembled, both at Chelsea, and at the' place of interment. The two executors, Dr. Tattan and J. Stevens, Esq., with the clergyman and other gentle men, attended. The penurious character of the deceased was well known by his friends and tenants, as was evi denced at the funeral, when one of the inhabitants of Aylesbury remarked, " that credit was due to the exe cutors for the manner in which they had discharged their duty, but had Mr. Neild :known while living that so much would have been spent on his funeral he would have come down into Buckinghamshire to die, in order to save the expense." From what we are informed, we have not the least doubt that such would have been the course adopted :by the deceased. Many stories are current of his conduct while living, but they are mostly of such a character that credence could hardly be given to them were it not that they are derived principally from a source that can be fully relied upon. We will give one or two instances. When about to leave his house on a visit he would place his housekeeper upon board wages, at a sum which ho considered extravagantly high— eightpence per day. The same miserable meagreness pervaded the whole of his transactions ; the very furni ture of the garret in which he died, consisting of an old stump bedstead, &c., was considered scarcely worth ss. His principal companion in his life-time was a favourite black cat, and puss was present when her master ceased to exist. And so we might go on detailing his avari ciousness ; but enough—the very relation of the in cidents of such a life of unmixed misanthropy and parsimoniousness is sickening in the extreme; it was a blank void —noon, without the golden rays and invigorating influence of the sun to tint the horizon with its grandeur, and to give to humanity its status—a conception of right and wrong. To the unfortunate subject of this notice the world possessed no 'harms other than those that contributed to his insatiate desire for aggrandisement—the mind no intellectuality —nature no beauty or endearments—poverty no claims upon his generosity! All was chaos—a frigid, spiritless specimen of humanity. As he lived, so he died—a friend to no one. Possessed of abundance, but without the least drop of the milk of human kindness pervading his system, he selfishly hoarded up what might have been rendered available in materially diminishing the penury existing around him, and of spreading happiness and comfort in every direction. It is to be hoped that the vast sum ho was the means of accumulating may yet be applied to a proper and legitimate purpose—the be nefit of mankind. With this wish we would fain draw a curtain over the faults and failings of one who did ❑ot possess the spirit to exercise the faculties with which he had been endowed either to the advance ment of his species or the glory of his God.—Kentish, Gazette. ROYAL POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTION.—An enter tainment of a highly amusing character has just been com menced by Mr. George Buckland, assisted by Miss Blanche Young, R.A., designated " Musical Varieties." In the ! course of his subject he gave a most humourous d escr i p ti on ! of the nightmare, illustrated with highly amusing songs de scriptive of the misery attendant on the vi s it s o f thi s n i g ht hag. The lecture was concluded by allusions to the tales of; childhood, fairies, &c., illustrated b y a me dl ey, ent i t l e d " Little Red Ridinghood," which was given with great hu-] mour and judgment, eliciting loud an d cont i nue d app l ause. ] Miss Young's able assistance greatly enhanced the:enterl tainment by her excellent and well-judged e xecu ti on o f th e various illustrations committed to her charge, more particu-1 larly in one of Donnizetti's favourite airs. MR. WORRELL'S BENEFIT. - This useful and esteemed actor takes his annual benefit at the Haymarket ;Theatre on to-morrow (Thursday) evening, when Jack Sheppard and Paul Pry will be played by the full strength of the Adelphi company.

TRAVELLIN G IN 1852.—Th e i mprovemen t s e ff ec t e d in rail and st eam commun i cation w i th the continent have " rendered it perfectly easy at the present day to breakfast at, , a seasonable hour atan in early London, chef d g c u isinedinner in la belle France, and to be, again in London in time for an evening party, all on one and, the same day, and with little more fatigue than would be ex - ; i perienced after the ordinary twelve hours' avocations. This ,may be accomplished, not on one particular day of the ' month only, but every day, by taking advantage of the Dover express train from the London-bridge terminus at 8.10 a.m. This train arrives in Dover at 10.35 A.M., and, half an hour afterwards a fast steamer sails for Calais, and, lands her passengers on the French soil at about a quarter to 1 ORO o'clock. The steamer returns at a quarter-past in Calais,rterastt b hre e e..; i Upwards of two hours can therefore be s p ent 'sides two in Dover on the homeward-bound journey, and yet . ;the traveller will be again at the London-bridge terminus at, iten rat. having left Dover at ha lf- p ast seven. Such s p eed y ' 'and regular ' communication between the two countries can-I ;not fail to be appreciated both by the man of business and; the man of pleasure.

In our report of the inquiry before the del l 1 1 1 , coroner into the circumstances connected wit h t o t , murder at East Bank, we stated that a sma ll b° of chloroform had been found upon the pr i so ner Ba r ' t ,_, bar. Since writing that account we have learned I!: gl acie r b w o s t ., on the morning of the day on which the committed Barber went to a druggist's shop at the torn of Meadow-street, and there stated that he "''' l . o . to buy some chloroform. The druggist ver,Loo perly refused to sell him any, stating as hi s ' - e i to that he never sold it except to medical raeul B a rber bo tb tt e i ll e those who were well known to him• left the shop, evidently disappointed. Th e „ o leo containing the chloroform found in his P e , s ',ist, bore the label of Mr. Fretwell Hudson, drug .West - bar. It has also been ascertained that F r iday as single-barreled pistol was pawned on last a week at the shop of Mr. Naylor, Fargate, bye young man who bore a strong resemblance t e t he prisoner Barber.
