11-1 E DUKE OF WELLINGTON. We are en s hh-d t o annou nce that the Duke of Wel lington has left a will, though the contents of it as l e t remain un di sc l osed . I t is dated as far back as 818, and was found late on Saturday night, at e ° tuts's Bank. Toe existence of this dccument was, see e b - eve, unknown even to those most nearly con hadtedli with the Duke, who, though of late years he ordered several wills to be prepared, yet never ! l aid make up his mind to execute them. The Duke appears to have always avoided the subject of his own Tr , and the arrangements connected with it. ese who have knew him best hardly ever remember . to , ! heard him talk of such matters, and, in illus if:settler) a this feature in his character, a carious ren ; 412 3 , be mentioned. Every one knows that he id e tvad, in the course of his long and diringuished l e el , lll4 nY pre cents of immense value, and that Aps i,,toouse is filled with a great variety of objects, the ikerest attached to which can hardly be overrated. 418 c ollection, as personal property, was , of course, a el l a ased to th e r i sk o f di spers i o n after the Duke's 'Nth Pa r r ' a nd, with a view to its preservation, an Act of la ment was obtained, enabling his Grace , wit h i n space of two years, to make heirlooms of such oh ts as he wished to see inalienably attached to his to le and estates. Singularly enough, it was not till .the e last day of the time thus granted that he signed 4 1 , 0 cutnents requisite to make the Act available. i n re body st il l rema i ns at Walmer Castle, and, th e ee d) ther e seems no goo d reason for hastening alti l 'ereoval to Apsley-house, as, probably, a month, f ore t ,Perhaps a still longer period, may elapse be cot, ne public funeral takes place. Although, of el le r ?) it is desirable that a ceremonial of the kind th e " ba concluded with as little delay as possible , tlute a jnount of preparation which it involves, the th e d lr 0 1 . people to be consulted in r e gu latin g the e 'ails, and the magnitude cf the scale on which ilec whole affair is to be conducted, all render time lit o e „ s3 , ar Y• Though Nelson fell in October, and was Btitl f ut home to England without delay, it was the th en January before his funeral took place, and even lef to ." arrangements were in many points extremely the bive. Nor is it surprising that such should be sr t e v e , B ') for public ceremonials of this description are who ...te rn . & 'sly rare occurrence, and the authorities to lae 4 -9331 anagement they are intrusted have in come aics little personal experience to guide them.

B y an order of the B oard of Health, dated Sept. 9, Rio Janeiro o is declared to be infected with yellow fever, thus revoking the order of the 10th tilt. AN ORIGINAL SKETCH IN A HOMELY FRAME. BY ELIZA COOK. George Clayton was as good-tempered and well-con ducted a young man—taking the worldly average of temper and morels—as one would meet with among a thousand. Ile had served a respectable apprenticeship as a cabinet.maker to an old-established firm, and at the age of twenty-five found himself foreman of the work °4oP, and in a condition to " marry and settle in life." George had been born of the humblest of the middle classes, loft an orphan at fourteen, and had been put out in the world by the united means of a few kind-hearted relatives, who wisely thought that pity and Christian like sympathy would be much more valuable if rendered practical, by giving the lad a little moral looking after, and a trade—and George well repsid them. He grew into a sober and industrious man, and managed to save a hundred pounds during the four years he was courting Emma Serle, a very nice-looking, fine-hearted girl, the sister of one of his shopmates, and who seemed to pos sess all the qualities most desirable in the wife of an artizan. They seemed well suited to each other, but George had a failing, it was th a t of being somewhat overbearing and exacting where he could control; and Emma had a spot in her disc, it was in being apt to be come silent and sensitively reserved if any mortifying incident jostled against her spirit; but there seemed every probabili!y of their forming a very contented couple; and when George stood at the altar one fine July morning, in his blue surtout, with Emma beside him, in her neat grey silk, the clergyman had a private opinion that they were a remarkably good-looking pair. A pleasant little dinner at the bride's father's, and a ramble in the suburbs, filled up the sunshiny hours, and that day two months we saw them snugly ensconced in a pretty four-roomed house, in the neighbourhood of Camden Town. Cleanliness and comfort pervaded the little domicile, with Emma as the sole presiding spirit, blending in her own proper person cook, housemaid, and Page- Everything went on smoothly for some few months; her whole attention was given to G eor g e, for she loved hi m tru l y an d f on dly. Emma was perfectly R PPY, but ae the long l w i n ter nights came on, and George sometimes stayed at M e chanics' Institute, or had a ch a t with a friend until ten o'clock, why Emma be g an to find it a little dull- ' and her husband had en treated that she would form a no gossiping s intimacy with her neighbours,' sewing, scrubbing, and washing becam e somewhat monotono ua . George belonged h t o oa e n amateur musical society, and when he did come m practise, a quartette part on a T e n violin; unfortunately his wife had no great love for music,t' generally sat down to hag and squeaking bravely.n but she bore his scrap sea to appear delighted with his efforts, th oug h she preferred a game at cribbage, o r a Id often have walk, or a little read ing; however, she never interfered pleasure, and George fiddled a wa y to with his heart's con his will and tent. It so happened that Emma's brother Harry dropped in two or three times when hi s sister as and found her rather mops; and the next time sv h alone, he brought under his arm a very pretty spani e l. t o . Here , a n d Emma," said he, " you are a good deal by your se lf , ere ' I thought this little fellow would serve to amus e on and be a sort of companion when George is ou y t-i know how fond you are of dogs, and I'm sure you'll soon like this one." Emma was, of course, pleased and gratified with the gift, and gave her brother an extra kiss as payment for Tiney. Sure enough the evening did pass much more cheerfully, though she had only a stupid, little, long-eared "bow-wow" to talk to, and she sat, with glistening eyes, expecting George, being sure that he would be as pleased with Tiney as she was. When the young husband came home, he was received with the accustomed kind words and comfortable meal, and due presentation of Tuley; but George frowned on the little animal with a look of supreme contempt, and angrily said, " What do you want with that beast; haven't you got enough to employ you without a dog? you had better give it back to Harry to-morrow—l won't have it here." These few words turned poor Enema's heart into an icicle; and, if we might reveal the secret thoughts that flashed across her brain, we should tell of a momentary impression that George was unkind and somewhat tyrannical, but she smothered her feelings and said nothing. Tiney was kept for a day or two, but when George saw Emma caress it, er give it food, he betrayed symptoms of ridiculous and pettish jealousy which rendered her unhappy, and • . at last, Tiney was given back to Harry. " Well," said her brother, as he took the animal, "I did not think that George was so selfish; you are all day long by yourself, and he goes to his club, and ' Mechanics' three or four times a week, and does every thing he likes, and yet he won't let you have a little dog to keep you company. I think he's very unkind, Emma, but you mustn't mind it." Emma did mind it though, and bad a " good cry" by herself. not that she eared so much about the relic of King Charles, as about George's selfishness in denying her such an innocent indulgence; and it is hardly to be wondered at, that when he returned home that night, and sat down to his music, Emma went up stairs, and commenced needlework in the bedroom. She land no taste for music, and if George would not tolerate her little spaniel, why should she plagued with his scraping. Days went on, and matters did not mend. George saw he had pained his young wife, but he was too proud to " give way," and rather increased in dictatorial supre macy, and adopted a sort of cold distance toward her. Emma was human as well as he, and though expected by all moral and practical teaching to submit to George's authority with amiable patience and dove-like docility, we must confess that she felt his " rule" rather unneces sarily exacting; and while she remembered how often he stayed out of evening to gratify his own wish, and how he kept rabbits in the garden, and how he spent his money in " chopping and changing" of fiddles—why, there was a sense of injustice arose in her bosom, and she positively began to agree with her brother, that George was somewhat selfish;—and George was selfish; he pos sessed the distinguishing characteristic which marks many men, a love of sway in his home, even in the smallest matters, and he thought his manly prerogative invaded if his word or will met with the slightest resist ance. He was deeply attached to his wife, but his wife must have no interest in anything butlhimself. She was to wait for him, and wait on him; she was not to gossip with Mrs. Simpson next door, though he kept up a con siderable talk with his fellow workmen all day long. She must give up a long-promised visit to Windsor on her birthday, because George had an invitation to a "club dinner at Hampstead;'' in short, she was to be a " perfect" woman, and be above all the little weaknesses which mark our frail nature, whilst he was to be in dulged in any fancy that chose to come uppermost. George certainly was a little selfish, and had now made the first serious false step on his domestic boards. Emma was less attentive to his comforts, and less par ticular in studying his will, thee she had hitherto been, and George resented the neglect smartly. Small quar rels arose, and happiness seemed taking flight from the little dwelling. George stayed out oftener, and Emma found it more dull than ever; at last, he continually saw traces of tears on her face when he returned, and his conscience began to get uneasy. Ho was good at heart, and when Harry asked him one day " why he left Emma so much by herself ?" he grew rather red in the face, and changed the subject as soon es possible. But the ques tion clung to him; he began to think that he had not been quite as considerate of Emma s pleasures as a hus band ought to have been, and, in fact, he was rather ashamed of Harry's remarks on his sister's very recluse life. It so happened that George was engaged that night at a debating society, but he suddenly thought he would not go, and, turning to his brother-in-law, said, " Have you got that little spaniel yet that you gave Emma ?" " Yes," replied Harry, "my wife and young'un dote on him; but I wish you had let Emma keep him, for I think she fretted at your unkindness in sending it back; you know she is a capital girl, and makes a good wife, and you might have let her have a bit of tedog, just to keep her company when you were out." " Well." said George, "dome a favour Harry, and let me give Tiney back to her." Harry was truly glad, for - he was aware of his brother-in-law's he. setting sin, and the spaniel was carefully tucked under George's arm, when he left the shop. " H ere Em said he, as he entered his neat parlour, " I have ma, brought back Tiney, and you mast take care of him for my sake; I'm not *going to the club, but if you'll bonnet we'll have a walk, and buy himput on your a collar." Poor Emma never looked at the dog, but flung her arms about George's neck, and kissed 11 ,- great big tears were rolling down h er cheeks " im b wh hg e eo e she exclaimed, " and will you indeed let me keep without being jealous or angry? I did think it was very unkind of you to be so cross about a trifle, and I know I have not bean so be ever good as I ought to since, but now I feel quite happy, and you are my own dear George again." The couple went out young he lost for their walk, and George g d that began to — l3 nothing by conf err i ng a l i ttle atten tion upo n Emma, and he for her extra c h eerfulness became c ontagiou s, month.Oa their was happier th an he had bean f o r the two return they met Harry and his wife, aootunity of telling women went on, Harry took the ei , ) , P a r tell you what, his shoprnate " a bit of his mind." t wont do to expect a George," said he, ,, you'll find than iw °cooking and stitch wife to think of nothing else for ever; they want some ins, and to stop at home as well as we do, and I amusement and some change i go out to our clubs so often don't think its right of us s tt.ng up for us; it isn't fair, and leave them at home em i e t to be so mighty good tempered and we can't ' e-`eelionee; and I say it was very stupid of when we do come keep Tiney; women that love dogs you not to lio2t.Eduulh things, are always fonder of their and birds, a a nd children than other women. You've got hushandsia and your rabbits, you know, and why you r Scld have that bit of a dog? take my word houldn't Emma Georg that a man is a great fool when he acts for it, e like a selfish master inst e a d of a kind husband." Geor g e slightly winced under this rough truth, but certain it is, that he laid the counsel up and acted upon it. Some three years pass on since these humble incidents occurred, and what do we see? There is big George dancing little George after the most approved headlong fashion; and there is Emma holding up Tiney for little George's express delectation, while the popular nursery theme of " Catch'er, catch'er, catch'er," is a signal for Tiney's silken cars to be clutched at most unceremo niously by the juvenile gentleman. And now we s9.e the quartette on Hampstead-heath, in the summer twilight, where 'clao duodecimo Clayton makes a dozen consecutive summersets over as many pebbles while in full • pursuit of Tiney's tail. " Why, dear me, George," says Emma, suddenly, " this is the day you always went to the boan-fa st." " I know it is," replies he; " but it alwa t s cost e me a good bit of money, and I always had a headache the next day, so I think I'm quite as well off le • e d ere with you and my boy." His young wife gives him n leek which does him more good then a pot of ale Would. " Thanks to Tilley and your brother Harry," continues George, " am not to selfish in my plea sures as I used to be; I had a sort of a notion when I was first married, that you were to do everything I w an t e d , and l'rn not quite so sure that I had a notion about caring for yo ur wishes, but when I sent Tiney away, and found you crying up- stairs of a night, I began to talk to myself, and ti sought I bad not been quite so kind at I ought to have been; and then Harry said something to me, and so, yc a see, I've been a better fellow ever since; now haven't Emma?" Th ere i s no occas i on to recor d Emma, s reply. Years have rolled on; we could now point to Get )94e Clayton as c hi e f and wealthy agent to great buik bug contractors, and to a descendant of Tiney, who cla . ims especial favour i n hi s h ousehold. E mma i s as fonc' of her George as ever, and has never neglected him though be permitted her to keep a little spaniel, and took her out for a holiday ramble when he might have been at a bean-feast. There are seven young Claytons flourishing " fast, and fair"—boys and girls—but we o b serve that G e torge never permits that masculine domination to exist v rhich deforms the social justice, and ultimate moral and m ental happiness of so many famili es; h e permits his clang hters to wait upon his sons, but ho is equally watchful the it his sons should wait upon the daughters. We overheard him the other day talking to his eldest boy, just tarried eighteen, " George," said he, " if ever you marry. be sure you don't expect too much of y our w i fe; I should never have been as rich and happy as I am if I had been a " selfish master" instead of a " kind husband." These " simple annals" aro founded on facts, not imagination; end let every young, ay, and old married man, learn something from them: OLYMPIC THEATRE, Uncle Tom's Cabin; or, Negro Life in Aase Ken, a drama, in two acts, founded upon Mrs. Harriet Beecher Howe's popular tale, was produced here. last night, and with triumphant success. Enough of. the story has been reproduced by the adapter to form a very thrilling and effective drama, which excited by turns the sensibilities and the laughter of the audi ence. The piece thus produced comprises the sale of Uncle Tom and Little Harry, the flight of George and Eliza with itheir boy, and the crossing of the Ohio by the two latter. Haley is transformed into a planter, and obtains possession of Eliza and Harry at the house of S, , ,nator,Bird, George also falling into his hands by means of an advertisement in the Kentucky Scourge, which gives to any one that may capture him the right to shoot him or keep him alive for his trouble. lie has ordered him to be tied to a tree, and Uncle Tom to give him six dozen lashes, when, lo !

' ,taut," aLeowlegly removed In cus tody, the slaves are liberated, and universal bliss reigns in Uncle Tom's cabin and its environs. The strong and hearty denunciations of the disgust ing and immoral practices pursued by the slave owners in the southern states were quickly caught up and enthusiastically cheered by the audience, and the judicious selection of some of the most striking events in the story kept the interest unflagging till the fall of the curtain. Mr. G. Cooke was the hero of the piece, and gave us all the heartiness and blunt. "s 8 of " the model nigger," with some superadded fun and drollery, which pleasantly relieved the more serious and affecting incidents. Mr. Hoskins made a capital Yankee slave speculator, rife of cant and cowhides, an d re d o l ent of tobacco ; and Mr. Farren, jun., ga ve di gnity and impressiveness to the character of Georg e Harris, the fugitive slave. The negresses were Walt e fairly L . c ay, and Lr. a „ mu ß si . ng ß ly art p le e t r t s , onified by Mrs. and Mrs. A.

The importance of punctuality hi all matters which concern the public was Lever more clearly shown than by the management of these popular gar dens in the ascent of the immense balloon "Le Globe," last night. The weather was unpropitious from an early hour of the day. Storm followed storm, shower succeeded shower, but as there was an occasional streak of ethereal blue and a gleam of sun shine between them, the spirited proprietor deter mined that, come what would, the advertised balloon, though requiring 130,000 feet of gas, should be in. flated and should go up. By the appointed hour the inflation was completed, and a very numerous and highly respectable company had assembled, though a very forest-like display of umbrellas were neces sary to protect them. The parachute was obliged to be dispensed with, as the silk does not yield to the pressure of the air when wet. This must ne cessarily have caused some little disappointment to the gentleman who came prepared to test the safety of it in company with Madame Poitevin : but he bore it with true gentlemanly feeling, and joined the merry party of 24, who, despite the rain, proved their love of ballooning by readily purchasing seats in the car. After the time necessary to arrange so large a party comfortably had been spent, the word to let go was given, and the immense machine took its departure south-westward amidst the hurras of the voyagers, which was most heartily responded to by the assembled multitude, even amidst the shaking of a forest of umbrellas. The theatre was subse quently very much crowded to see the capital ballet, The Barber of Cadiz; and, the evening having cleared up, the dancing al fresco was commenced, and continued with a spirit and a determination rarely witnessed in so great a degree as i s shown by the liberal supporters of Cremorne. The aeronauts descended at Eastham, in Essex, and the majority of them were visible in the gardens at ten o'clock, after a rather wet passage over the entire length of the metropolis. The balloon drag ge d f or some distance after touching the ground, owing to th e stupid conduct of one or two of the cre w , who jumped out prematurely to the annoyance of M. Poitevin and the others. CONTINENTAL AD VICES.
