Public journalists should avail themselves of the °PPortunity to indicate the general feeling on the question, that must for many years, if.not perma nently, appeal forcibly to their own pockets and those of their children. • It has been assumed, most unfairly, by the ad vocates of the existing system, that it would be difficult, if not impossible, to levy the Income-tax i 4 a any oth er basis than that of a uniform per cen "age upon each person's receipts, no', matter from What source derived, and that, therefore, for fiscal Purposes, revenue arising from mental or bodily la . bour, or f rom the fluctuating and precarious Profits of trade, must be placed on exactly the one foundation as if it was obtained from accu raulated and realized property of the best descrip tion, from th e groun d ren t s o f a well-circum 4aneed estate, or the dividends on the public ftul ds. This, in other words, is, that because we cannot introduce a perfectly equitable principle, because we cannot exactly discriminate between t he 'value of professional or trade incomes of the Izarcie class, both must be assessed at the very highest possible rate, that one man must be ch arged fou r ti mes , an d another eight times, a s 41 2 0 1 as he oug ht t o be required to pay. Thi s 'fficulty m a y be completely removed by givin g 'IP the assessment on Income, properly so called, and charging nothing but property, according to caPitaliZed value. But if, despite of the nu us advantages advantages attendant on such, a course, ll ° Me of whi c h we have recently p o i n t e d out, our h e are resolved still to retain th e i r h o ld on e earnings of industry, with all its demo. Nizing results, and notwithstanding the serious 'Oases occasioned by the system of exemptions thereby rendered necessary, some attempt at least might be made, at an approxima -lion, sufficient to satisfy those who have itherto b een so h eavily victimized, and who, so i °lig as any portion of indirect taxation is re .tamed, must contribute more than, their fair pro- Portion to the national exigencies. Such an tPProximati on m i g h t easily be made which would d"e a much nearer approach to perfect fairness than e Income-tax i n i ts present f orm, or any eription of customs or excise duties. 1 3 Th e Principle of taxation generally recognized that it i s just and expedient to charge every 111:11 ntinpon what he may reasonably calculate on ng to spend. This will, we believe, be tr• itted even by the advocates of the present r 3te na) who con t en d t h at " t h e b a l ance o f in 'ustraents should not be distributed ; that every should pay on what he could expend in a - Year without diminishing thereby the iii .Inolint of his capital." Now, we shall simply Iquire whether a tax levied on the capitalized 4,..tue of each 111 4 person's property would not exactly . eao fd those conditions. The object should be that h Person should h ave an equal power of ex 4elicliture, and that the balance should remain the. 44 - 7 • 1 c when o b l i ged to yield to the common lot 's ur ,,, e urrender hi s p ossess i ons t o a successor or A - ' es crs• It is palpably unjust to take as much ni the holder of a terminable annuity, which will • Pire in Some five or six years, and a considerable Porti rial mn whereof m us t b e a ll ocate d to replace the origi caPital, as from the owner of a permanent or im bekluig c harge, such as the 3 per Cents., or l a nd s is an improving neighbourh oo d ; an d if so , 4it„ B " more inequitable to charge, in a similar e x3 ,,Z Precarious i ncome ar i s i ng f rom persona l ch: 10118 ) and which a failure of health, or a rec inge of f as hi on may, at any moment, greatly :Pe) or altog e th er t a k e awa y. th ilk ° l3 , but," say the solemn wiseacres, who they can prove black white, or convin ce ers ons . b ut against the evidence of their senses, "Oh, if, from all incomes alike, you deduct an t t l l nal rate o f sevenpence in the pound, as is now , ease, the remainder will, as is obvious, be in alsame ratio as the original incomes, and so the ance of investment will not be disturbed.

In th a t HOUSE, of Com ber cnit Which he had once been himself a mem h It i s our . . hoe, I _, pride," said the Leader of that seives4st. nigh, " that he was one of our tpsttr ' 0 Is our glory that Sir ARTHUR hetWEL 91a 11 0 .__ Il e c e sat upon these benches : " in had 7 of Commons, at the bar of which a „m re than once received the " thanks of that beiul Senate 'AM h on for accumulated triumphs ;"—in kotioh ofse' night, it 4.o7l4.tticsstrz, was decreed, on the ,s_DISRA.ELI, seconded by Lord " that the Common s of England tic, t hank her MAJESTY for havin -4a for the Pubc interment of th g given mortal re mains of his Grace the Duke of WELLINGTON, and should assure her MAJESTY of their cordial aid and concurrence in giving to the solemnity a fitting degree of importance." The public fune ral of the Duke of WELLINGTON assumes, 111 con sequence, as her MAJESTY had graciously designed, a national character. That last mark of respect and gratitude has been decreed to the mortal re mains of the Great Soldier, not only by the SOVEREIGN whom he served, but by the repre sentatives of the people for whom he fought, and never were the services of the Duke more gracefully set forth, never were the excellencies of his character more felicitously exemplified than in the eloquent and touching language in which Mr. DISRAELI alluded to them last evening. ' The Duke has been called fortunate," said Mr. DISRAELI, " but Fortune is a divinity which has ever favoured those who are at the same time sagacious and intrepid, inventive and patient. It was his own character that created his career," —a significant truth, which reminds us of an epigrammatic sentence uttered elsewhere by the same speaker —a sentence teaching the same invigorating lesson, "We make our for. tunes and we call them Fate." Not to fortune, but to the characteristics of his own nature, the high position of the Duke of WELLINGTON must be ascribed ; • " it was his supreme self-control alone that regulated his lofty fame." Then pausing in his panegyric to give a rapid and masterly sketch of the requirements of a great general, Mr. DIS RAELI enumerated those varied and almost con flicting qualifications, the combination of which is so rare, but which combination is irre sistible. Having thus excited in his hearers a wondering admiration for the abilities of the soldier, most touchingly and most beautifully, the speaker then brought before them the image of the man, as they had last seen him, as they had long known him. " Who, indeed," he ex claimed, " can ever forget that venerable and classic head, ripe with time, and radiant, as it were, with glory." In the same strain of mingled admiration and sorrow, the right hon. gentleman concluded his address—an address eminently worthy of the occasion, because it testified not only the emotions of the speaker's own heart, but by his lips, as the leader of the people's repre sentatives it gave utterance to the people's feel ings with regard to WELLlNGToN—feelings at once of joy and sorrow, of gratitude for the glory of the past, and grief for the bereavement of the present. el c0t1" VS /. THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 16, 1852. COURT CIRCULAR. It having been reported that the Hall of Chelsea Hospital would be kept open until a late hour in the vening, we have now authority to state than on Wed esday (to-morrow), the 17th inst., they will be opened at nine a.m., and closed positively at five p.m. WINDSOR, Nov. 15.

The Prince of Leiningen is expected to-day on a visit to her Majesty. The Marquis of Lansdowne and the Marquis of Aber corn have been invited, and are expected to arrive this afternoon. His Serene Hignness the Prince of Leiningen crossed yesterday morning from Calais to Dover, travelled to London by the South-Eastern Railway, and proceeded from the London-bridge Terminus' to Clarence House, St. James's, where the Prince arrived at half-past one o'clock. His Serene Highness left town in the afternoon by the South-Western Railway for Windsor Castle. A numerous meeting of members of the House of Commons, supporters of the present Administration, was held yesterday at the Earl of Derby's official resi dence in Downing-street. Two hundred and eleven members were present. The Earl of Derby was accom panied by the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Mr. Secre tary Walpole, the Right Hon. J. W. Henley, and Lord Naas. The conference lasted about an hour. A deputation on the subject of a charter for Her Ma jesty's Theatre Association had an interview with the Right Hon. J. W. Henley and Lord Colchester yester day, at the Board of Trade. The deputation consisted of the Marquis cf Clanrica.rile, the Duke of Leinster, the Duke of Cleveland, the Earl of Harrington, Mr. Thomas Phinn, M.P., Mr. B. Olveira, M.P., Mr. George Dodd, M.P., Mr. Henry Baring, M.P., Lord Harry Vane, M.P., Sir James Duke, Bart., M.P., Sir John Bayley, Bart., Mr. A. M. Storer, Mr. C. Hoggins, Q.C., Mr. Fred.

The depu tation consisted of Mr. John Bates, Chairman of the Local Board, and of Mr. Charles Stokes, a member of the board. ---- Masterman, M.P., had an interview with Mr. Secretary Walpole yesterday, at the Home-office. Mr. E. Rice had also an interview with the Right Hon. Se cretary. •A deputation from the parish of St. Saviour, South wark, and Christchurch, Surrey, consisting of Messrs.

Beard, had an interview with Lord John Manners, yesterday, at the Office of Works and Public Buildings. Dispatches were received yesterday at the Colonial office, from the Governors of Hong Kong, Ceylon, and Labuan. Dispatches were also received from the Go vernor of the Falkland Islands. MEETING OF THE CONSERVATIVE MEMBERS OF THE HOUSE OF COMMONS. As we had previously announced, a meeting of the Conservative members of the House of Commons took place yesterday for the purpose of hearing from the Pre mier an exposition of the course of policy and action in tended to be pursued by himself and his Government. About 250 members of the Lower House accordingly assembled in Downing-street, and were addressed by the Noble Lord at considerable length in those lucid, frank, and manly terms which so peculiarly become him. No point of policy was left untouched, no purpose was veiled. We are in possession of the substance of his Lordship's speech, but we are unwilling to publish a summary of it lest faction should seize upon and misconstrue a con densed phrase, or upon a word, for its own especial pur poses. Let our readers remain satisfied with the fact, that the address was received with unanimous enthu siasm ; and that when Lord Derby, in conclusion, in vited discussion upon any of the points he had advanced, there was not a voice raised even for the purpose of debating the smallest of the details he had explained— cordial approbation and a resolve to support thoroughly the measures of Lord Derby's Administration were more positively and unanimously manifested than at any pre vious similar assembly.—Morning Herald. t [We are given to understand that the address of Lord Derby fully expressed the adherence of the Government to the free-trade policy, and the " unanimous enthusi asiasm " alluded to by our contemporary, on the part of the hearers of that address, affords satisfactory evidence that the G overnment party have at length learned the true wisdom of yielding with a good grace to the popu lar will.—En. Sum.] THE DukE's FUNERAL. —Th is morning a large body of workmen commenced hanging the front of Temple Bar with black cloth, for the purpose of doing honour to the memory of his Grace the Duke of Wellington. The erection of barricades along the pavement in Fleet street and Ludgate-hill, breast high, were also com menced. IRISH APPOINTMENTS. —We are happy to be able to announce that the Irish Government has conferred upon Mr. James Martin, of ROHR, the office of auditor of union accounts in the Poor Law Board. We feel assured that this appointment will meet the full sanction of the Irish gentleman of M r . M artin ' s character public, and that even political opponents will admit that the nd selection of abilities for this office, is calculated to reflect credit a a upon the Government of the Earl of Eglinton.---../Iforning Herald. - SUSPICIOUS DEATH.—Yesterday an inquest was held by Mr. Baker, at the Sportsman, Margaret-street, Hag gerstone, relative to the death of Jane Hawkins, aged 20, a single female, whose body was found on Friday morning in the Regent's canal, near Acton lock, with severe marks of violence on it. Sophia Caster, de ceased's aunt, No. 11, Seabright-street, Hackney-road, said that her niece called upon her on the evening of the first of November last, about six o'clock. She seemed rather excited, when witness asked her if there was any circumstance which troubled her. She made no reply, but wept. Some months ago, she lost the com pany of a young man for whom she had formed a strong attachment. Verdict—That the deceased was found dead, with marks of violence on her person.

This day at noon, the Royal Mail steamship Europa, Ryrie commander, arrived in the Mersey from New York direct, whence she sailed on the 3d inst. at noon, with 35 passengers and the usual mails from the United States and British America. The steamship Africa was passed within forty miles of New York. The delay of the Europa in entering the river arose from the dense fog that prevailed. The Presidential contest had terminated in the election of General Franklin Pierce, the Democratic candidate, for President, and Senator King as Vice- President. They had an immense majority. Judge Conklin had returned to Washington, ha ving settled the difficulty with Cuba, but the terms are unknown. Mr. Everett will succeed the late Daniel Webster as Secretary in the Department of State. When the Europa left New York the markets were dull ; the exchange on London was quoted at 110 k to with little doing.' The cotton market was firmer, and prices had ceased to retrogade. Flour had advanced from 12 to 20 cents. Naval Stores were in better request than pre viously, but without advance. Provisions steady, and in moderate request for shipping purposes. Freights were slightly improved, but rates to London and Liverpool remained nominally as last quoted. MONEY AND COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, Two O'CLOCK. The sales of cotton at Liverpool, yesterday, were estimated at from 4,000 to 5,000 bales, of which 1,000 American were taken on speculation. The market was steady, but dull at previous rates. The sales comprised 80 Pernam and Maranham at 6d. to 7d. ; 10 Bahia, at 61d. ; 100 Egytian, at 'ad. ; 400 Surat, at 31-d. to 4d. ; and the remainder American. Railway Shares were dull, and prices had a downward tendency. The manufacturing house of Hermann Munder, at Bremen, has suspended payment, with liabilities, to to the amount of about 100,000 dots., and assets calculated at 70,000 dols. The merchants of Ham burgh, Bremen, and Elberfeld are the principal sufferers. The modifications in the new Austrian tariff come into operation in January next ; and at that date will expire the regulation imposing 10 per cent. additional, during the first year of the tariff on tissues, millinery, and clothing, modes, wrought metals, jewellery, and mixed fabrics. The new duty on cotton wool will come into operation at the same time. The following is the answer of Messrs. Devaux to the committee of Turkish bondholders : "London, 62, King William-street, Nov. 13, 1852. "H. Guedalla, Esq. "Sir,—We have received yesterday evening your letter dated Brighton, the 12th inst., enclosing copy of a reso lution passed at a meeting purporting to be one of the Turkish Bondholders, on the 11th inst. We have in re ply to state, that we are not yet prepared to offer the required explanation as regards the conduct of the Otto man Government, but we are daily expecting a commu nication from Paris on that subject, on the receipt of which we propose to call a meeting of those interested in the Turkish Loan. As regards ourselves, we have no hesitation in stating to any one interested, and as such state it to you, that the Agency for the portion of the loan appropriated to England, was introduced to us by Mr. E. Simons and Messrs. E. Blount and Co., Bankers, of Paris. The contracting price was the same as that at which the loan was issued to the public. The whole of the amount placed at our disposal was issued to ‘the public, except 60,0001., which we retained for ourselves. We do not feel called upon to state how we have thought proper to deal with this amount, although we have no reason for withholding the information, except that we do not con sider that it is an application which oughtlto be made to us.—We are, Sir, your obedient servants, " C. DEVAUX and C 0.," The English funds have been flatter, and the causes assigned are political. According to the City quid nunc, the Cabinet will be outvoted on the motion of Mr. Villiers, and the session will then be prorogued, Lord Derby, in the interim seeking to form a coalition Ministry, and meeting Parliament again in February. Supposing this view to be correct, the delay that must arise will necessarily lead to uncertainty and to depression in public securities. Consols have been 1001 to for transfer, and 1001 to 4, for account. The new 3 per cents have been 102 1 to 103. Bank Stock is heavy at 222.

"My dear Archdeacon,:Ll have to request that you will intimate to the clergy and churchwardens of the parishes in your archdeaconry, my wish that they should cause the bells of their respective churches to be tolled on the day appointed for the public funeral of the late illustrious and lamented Duke of Wellington, from three to four o'clock, about which time it is expected that his mortal remains will be consigned to their last resting place, "The most effectual mode of notifying my wish will probably be to publish this letter in some of the public journals.

SPORTING NOTES.—No. CCCXLIX. Great mystery prevails with respect to the principal Steeplechase to be decided to-morrow at Warwick. • At first, I imagined, as Maurice Dally and British Yeoman were so favourably handicapped, they would be the nags destined to figure foremost in the fray. I have since expressed a slight penchant for Abd-el-Kader as well. Now, as far as I can discover, the Yeoman is not meant. Abd-el-Kade r seems t o b e in the same fix ; and there were some reports out yesterday, that the party had not got their money on Maurice Daily ; that they wanted longer odds than could be got ; and so on. Taking all this into consideration, I do not feel disposed to depend upon either of these three to pull my judgment through, although I confess I have still a strong fancy that Maurice Dally will run to win, and if he does so, he will be about the mark. Therefore I should advise the looking after that game animal Peter, who, at list 31b, is weighted quite enough, but not sufficiently to stop him from having a good chance of victory, The money is on, so we may expect he will do his best. Pro ceed, at 9st 121 b, was backed rather stiffly yesterday ; and as he seems to be meant, will, I presume, finish in one of the three first places. In short, in PETER, PRO CEED, and MAURICE DALLY, I anticipate seeing the first, second, and third horses. The race for this Steeple chase last year produced one of the most exciting and quickest contests of the kind on record--the time being 8 minutes and 57 seconds—Maurice Dally then, with 9st up, finished a good second to Oscar, at 9st 41b, and beating the heavy-weighted Lord George, who, carrying 12st 41b, finished third. The Free Handicap Steeplechase of 5 sow. each, with 25 added, with penalties for winning, the winner to be sold by auction, &c. (three miles), will, not improbably, terminate in the victory of GUIZIARE ; Simple Peter and Widow Machree finishing second and third, with Maria Bennett and Frank in the next places. Simple Peter is the only animal who has incurred a penalty, and he will carry 51b extra for winning at Edgware. The Free Handicap Hurdle Race of 5 soya. each, with 30 added, winners of any hurdle race after the declara tion of the weights, 51b extra (two miles, over five flights of hurdles) will probably be contested by about a moiety of the acceptances: Up to the present time TOMBOY has monopolised all the the attention of the betting world for this race ; and if his exertions of to-day in the race for the Great Warwick Handicap do not tie him up, in him we may expect t o see th e wi nner ; Courier, my first fancy, being, I understand, out of the fray. Gaylad and Odiham are his most dangerous rivals ; the starting of both, however, is more than doubtful. The filly by Don John, dam by Munchg, has the repu tation of being a tidy hurdle fencer. The Hunt Cup Steeple Chase, by subscription of 10 sovs. each, for all horses that have been regularly hunted with any established pack of hounds, 11 st. 7 lb. each, the winner to be sold for 150 sovs. &c. Sze. Gentlemen riders, professionals 6lb extra, (three miles). Thi s race will probably terminate in the REIVBR and VICTRESS being first and second, with Trust-me-not in the third position ; Sir Edward and Quick -step being close up, fourth and fifth.

The county police, who have been indefatigable in their ex ertions, succeeded in capturing on Saturday night last an Irishman, who was an associ a t e o f the sons, Henry and Thomas Blackburn. From admissions made by this man, there is little room to doubt that the robbery of the old couple was planned and the murder committed by a gang of five men, two of whom were sons of the deceased. These, who have been suspected from the first discovery of the crime, and two other men, have been lodged in gaol.

EXTENSIVE ROBBER Y one o'clock, a serious robbery was OF BANK NOT h E i S M AT re L ad IvE y LIVERPOOL. effected at the Liverpool branch of the Bank of England. A.young man from the arm of Messrs. Brown, Shipley, and Co., agent for th e United States Transatlantic Steam Company, proceeti e d to the bank with bank notes to the amount of 3 ,0001. This sum was composed of five 5001. and five 1001. kotes. On arriving at the bank, the youth inconsiderately placed the roll of notes on the counter, covering them ' , kith his left arm. At that mo ment a gentleman tapp e d him on the shoulder, and civilly asked him where he should be able to obtain change for a 51. note. Thrown off his guard, he raised his arm, and, pointing t o a p ar ti cu l ar coun t er , sa id "there." During this brief period the notes disappeared from the counter. The simpleton immediately perceived his loss, and, in considerable alarm, he told the agreeable looking person at his side that some one had stolen his notes. "Indeed," was the reply, "then it was the man I saw go out just now. Here, come to the door, and I will show you which way he went." He accompanied his "friend" into the street. " See, that's the man : he's just turned d own Cook-street." The youth pursued the imaginary thief down Cook-street, while the real rascal walked briskly away in an opposite direction.

CAPE OF GOOD HOPE. The General Screw-steam Shipping Company's vessel the Propontis, Captain Glover, arrived at Plymouth, on Monday, at 11, a.m., with mails from the Cape of Good Hope, St. Helena, and the Cape de Verds. She left the Cape on October 9. The Propontis left Plymouth, Aug. 28 ; St. Vin cent, Sept. 10 ; and St. Helena, Sept. 25 ; arriving at the Cape Oct. 5. She left the Cape on her home ward voyage on Oct. 9, at four o'clock in the after noon, arrived at St. Helena on the 17th, at eight, p.m., arriving at Ascension on the 22d, at 7.30 a.m., left at 9 a.m., and arrived at St. Vincent, Oct. 30, at 11.30 p.m., and left for Plymouth, Nov. 2, arriving at the Great Western Docks, Nov. 15, at 10.30 a.m. She brings a cargo of 47 bales of wool, 1,108 green hides, 186 boxes of cop per ore, 60i pipes of wine, 31 aums ; 4 cases do., and 6 boxes of ostrich feathers, 1 package of ivory, and 34 packages of ivories. Her Majesty's brig Grecian arrived in Simon's Bay, Sept. 6, from Quillamane, and sailed again on the 26th for cruizing. Her Majesty's steamer Vulcan arrived in Simon's Bay, Sept. 13, from Cork, and sailed again on the 16th for Melbourne. Her Majesty's ship Castor was at Simon's Bay, October 9, from Quillamane. The Styx arrived at Port Elizabeth, October 2, from Table Bay, with Lieut.-Colonel Duff, 74th Highlanders ; Messrs. Holmes and Habert, 45th Regiment ; and Cap tains Davis and Baker of the 74th Regiment ; Cap tain Eagar, 45th Regiment Sappers and Miners. The Hydra, from Simon's Bay, arrived in Table Bay, Oct. 5. Her Majesty's steamer Rhadamanthus, Comman der Belam, sailed from Simon's Bay for England, Oct. 2, and Table Bay, Oct. 5, after a service at the Cape of two years. The merchant barque, Gratitude, arrived in Table Bay from Colombo, Oct. 5 ; was bound for London, but remained in the Bay on the Bth. The Great Britain, which arrived at St. Helena, Sept. 22, remained there six days to coal. The mails were transhipped from the Great Britain to the Propontis. H.M. Penelope, steam-frigate, with flag of Rear-Admiral Bruce, was at St. Helena when the Propontis left, and also the Tomer. -The Kaffir war appears to be gradually drawing to a close. By a series of vigorous operations, General Cathcart has at last effectually cleared the Waterkloof, and a body of troops are left in posses sion of that noted stronghold, which has so long afforded shelter to Macomo and the hordes of the enemy, who were most immediately dangerous to the frontier districts. This important work was accomplished between the 14th and 18th Septem ber, by a force of 3,000 troops, having with them four guns, and led by his Excellency in person. been concentrated in the neigh- The troops ourhoodohav of ttegWaterkloof on the 13th, two re doubts were thrown up in the Bush Neck Valley, one of stone and the other of earth, which were completed on the following day, and the commis sariat, hospital, and officers' tents placed within their shelter. The force was then so posted as to command every accessible outlet from the scene of the intended operations, which consisted of an irregular hollow of several miles in extent, nearly surrounded by precipitous mountains, the bases of which, as well as the greater part of the interior basin, are densely wooded. The arduous nature of the duty imposed upon our gallant troops, of dis lodging such an enemy from such a position, may thus be faintly imagined. Private accounts speak highly of the personal activity and energy of General Cathcart during these operations ; and Colonels Eyre and Buller were distinguished by their wonted gallantry and skill. Owing to the nature of the country afford ing such facilities for concealing or carrying off the dead and wounded, no accurate estimate can be made of the loss suffered by the enemy. Report states that 100 Kaffirs were killed, and many of their Tambookie allies; 250 women and children were taken prisoners, in a wretched state of ema ciation, many of them being scarcely able to walk. An immense number of huts were burnt, and the Kloof was traversed in all directions, until it was ascertained that it h a d b een thoroughly cleared of the enemy. At one place, Col. Eyre is said to have hung five men. At another, near the foot of the Iron Mountain, a gunsmith's shop was found, loop holed and strongly fortified, where a little garrison of Kaffirs made a determined stand, until it was stormed and taken by Lakeman's Volunteers; it was fomid to contain a quantity of miscellaneous ironmongery, and all kinds of materials for repair , big fire-arms. Macomo and many of his men, however, contrived to make their escape, and their retreat has not yet been discovered. His Excel lency, in commending the troops for their exertions on this occasion, declared, as the result of the three days' operations, in which they had been engaged, that the Waterkloof and neighbouring fastnesses had been evacuated by the Tambookie chief Qwesha, and the Gaika chief Macomo, with his adherents; and that the Hottentot marauders had been de stroyed and expelled, "whilst the occupation of commanding points, and the establishment of mili tary posts, effectually precludes their again fixing themselveslin those haunts." The perfect satisfac tion and thanks of the Commander-in-Chief were, therefore, conveyed, in General Orders, to "Colonel Buller and Lieut.-Colonel Eyre, commanding co lumns and their staff, to Lieut.-C o l one l s N es bitt and Napier, as well as to the general and personal staff and commissariat department, to Major Bed ford, commanding 60th Rifles, to Major Pinckney, commanding 73d Regiment, Lieutenant King, commanding detachment 74th Regiment, Major Forbes, commanding 91st Regiment, Major Hors ford, commanding Rifle Brigade, Captain Bruce, 74th Regiment, commanding a detachment from Post Retief, and the several officers commanding levies," for the able manner in which this compli cated operation had been carried into effect. FRANCE. We have received the Paris journals of yesterday. We find the following in the Moniteu;:— • " Considerable efforts and manoeuvres of all kinds are made to spread amongst the people, at the moment of the solemn vote which it is called on to give, the pro tests of parties. The Government has no interest in opposing the publication of these documents, and will make them known itself, for in the great national move ment which carries France to the re-establishment of the Empire, the opinion of the people must be enlight ened, and its will, manifested without constraint, be the expression of its conviction. Let then the manifestoes of the " Revolutionary Committee of London," and of " the Proscribed Democratic Socialists of France re siding at Jersey, and united in general assembly," be read :—(The precious manifestoes are then given in extenso). "We do not," continues the Moniteur, " ac company these documents with any reflection.—At the same time as these abominable provocations are spread, efforts not less active are made to cause to arrive in all parts of the territory a protest, which we also make public. It is to be regretted that a Prince, who nobly supports his misfortune, should also, by an exaggerated sentiment of what he believes to be his duty, arrive at denying the right of the people to choose their Govern ment." The protest of the Count de Chambord is then given by the Moniteur, which concludes by say ing " All these documents are now known to the country ; its good sense and patriotism will judge of them as they deserve." The Prince President was to return last evening from Fontainebleau. The sporting which took place at Fontainebleau on Saturday and Sunday was attended by a num ber of persons of distinction, who had received in vitations from the Prince President. The stag hunt on Sunday afforded very fine sport. no hounds were ninety in number. An old stag was first started, but after some time a young one was started, which drew off the dogs from the old one. They were, however, drawn off, and again laid on the scent of th e o ld one , w hi c h they followed and killed after a r un o f th ree h o urs. The Prince President, who was moun t e d on a magnificent thorough-bred hunter, and his cousin Napoleon Bonaparte, were in at the death. All the gentle men present were dressed in a costume of green, bordered with gold race. Several ladies followed the hounds. On Sunday there was also a shooting party in the woods let to M. Fould and M. de Caumont. More than 200 pheasants, four de er , and an immense number of hares and partridges were killed, and sent to the Pala ce.
