It w as a scene eminently worthy of the occasion—a theinolly befitting the funereal close of the career of - , Juke of WELLINGTON. Englishmenhave at least satisfaction among their historical recollec tion----that, in regard to ARTHUR WELLESLEY, they proved th e i r gra ti tu d e t o hi m i n lif e , an d i n d e ath y the tokens of a magnificent appreciation. In refer ence, at any rate, to their treatment of this Feat citi zen, they have no cause w h atever r feelings o f compunc ti on . Th e y s h owere d lie i h P°ll him during his prolonged existence all `` e honours of which a subject could be the reeipiel lt• After his departure in extreme old age th e y at paid his memory the homage of a truly interment an interment marked by iner:cht7ozeadtjhunerict of grandeur that could possibly glorgeouSstall'clillep u t_h and sincerity of the popular vene immediately under the dome of the eholding edifice which, on the 18th of November, 1, 852 ' w as the scene of this historical celebration, those thousands of spectators, comprising 1 111°3agst t hem all that was noblest in the land, --ustrions by genius or position, the dignitaries o f State, th e ministers of religion, warriors re 11,„,;(3wned for their achievements, authors distin t`ushed by their contributions to literature, poets d historians, orators and statesmen ; remember nig th e solemn purpose which had assembled them together___..a Purpose appealing to every sense, a Purpose audible in all those sounds of mourning, and visible in all those hues of splendour—it was l imPoesible not to be touched to the innermost fibres of one's sensibility by that august and tsioipeeornbeecieler,emonial. It would be difficult, in truth, any occurrence more awfully and pa thetically beautiful. Immediately before the en trance of the procession, the awe and pathos of the o ccas i on seemed to become on all hands in a " v erY peculiar m anner apparent. Looking from a central position in the Cathedral, along the g r and avenue of the nave, the eye caught at intervals a glimpse of the approaching train of the funeral. Between the crowded t , be nches ra nge d u p on e ith er side—higher and 411 ,gher) until l os t in the pillared gloom of th e ar emtecttire----occasional signs of preparation served to enhance what one of our living writers has t ea . lied the sense o f " d u mb e xpectancy." Some tabardlines it was a herald, robed in his embroidered lookin g Bisho p, like a figure from the middle ee sometimes a surpliced group of ecclesias tendants ticste bea n, or the with their at- . The appearance of the principal personages en gaged i n th e ceremony was, in each case, ofitself, of th e SPEAKER an incid ent. It was so with the entrance transe,t , , who to o k hi s p l ace i n t h e nor th N surrounded by the Commons. It was eel with that of the CHANCELLOR, who confronted him in the south transept, in th e m id s t o f th e Patrician s of the United Ki ngdom. It was so w ith the fi rst subj m, who entered Witho ect of the real w ithout any pomp, with ou t a s i ngle follower, and ut the smallest mark of distinction—the Archbishop of CANTEREITRY. It was so also, in a C or e especial manner, with the advent of the PRINCE ONSORT, preceded by the LORDMAYOR carrying the sword of the City of London. Upon the advance of the funeral procession itself, from the western porch---the veteran soldiers of the departed, bear ing the staves and wearing the costume of Chelsea diately i n Pen sioners, s t oo d upon either side, while imme front of them (to the north officers, to to the south privates), each upon one knee, w ere soldiers, comng prisi in their num b er one man from every regiment in the British Army. S olemn, , however and undoubt e grand, and affecting, as had dly been every one of the previous in ci- THE SUN, LO ) ' dents in the ceremonial, the climax of all in pathos, and we may even add sublimity, was the movement when, after the dirge had been chaunted by the choristers—the bier of the dead hero, bearing his coffin surmounted by his baton and his coronet, descended—to the distant explosion of the guns at the Tower, and to the sound of the " Dead March " played by the organ, the trombones and the ophei cleides—descended slowly through the pavement of St. Paul's Cathedral. And so was buried WELLESLEY, the Ensign of the 73rd Foot in 1787 —in 1852, the most High, Mighty, and Most Noble Prince, ARTHUR, Duke of WELLINGTON. His splendid career had been fittingly terminated. After a life of great renown and magnificence— after having passed by fourteen years the, allotted age of man—he had breathed his last peacefully in the possession of all his faculties : and his re mains were thus solemnly interred by the nation with the evidences of a grand and historical lamentation. No exception can be taken to the contemplated changes in the Law of Lunacy. They are ad mirable, so far as they go—combining economy in e management of the property, with full protec- Lon to the unfortunate persons whose mental in: capacity places them under the control and pro tection of the Court of Chancery. Lord ST. LEONARDS has considered the subject maturely, and the result of his deliberations will leave little to be desired, so far as lunatic wards of Court are concerned. Would that the same protection were afforded to those so deeply afflicted, or who were alleged to be so by interested parties, so that the really insane might be certain of obtaining full care for their persons and property, and that no man could henceforward be consigned to incarcera tion—and that of the most grievous description— for an unlimited period, on the certificate of two, so-called, "skilful persons"—a matter which, it is but too painfully notorious, can be obtained on the most trivial grounds. The great savings in the expense of bringing parties within the • juris diction of the Court,. by the issuing of Commis sions of Luriacy, and also in the future managc ment of the property, occasioned by the new regulations, will remove the only objections that could be made to making every person possessed of any property, however trifling, wards of Court. And when the security thereby afforded, not only to the pecuniary means of the luna tic, but also to his personal comfort, Ao far as his unfortunate position will admit of any species of comfort, it is obvious that the pre caution should never, under any possible combina tion of circumstances, be dispensed with. The numerous cases of unjustifiable and protracted imprisonment of persons of sound mind—cases which, from time to time, have excited the public horror and indignation—abundantly prove the necessity of directing the attention of a duly qualified public officer to the case of every per son who has been deprived of his liberty as an alleged lunatic, within a limited period after his confinement, in order that the matter may be fully investigated, and the propriety of the detention inquired into. There should be no exception, on any ground, or under any pretext. The veriest pauper should not be deprived of his liberty, save . on amply sufficient grounds ; indeed, u n d er th e existing law, a pauper has greater security than the wealthy man, whose next of kin, too fre quently "A little more than kin, and less than kind," may desire to get him out of the way, and to divide his fortune among themselves. Let, then, Lord ST. LEONARDS add to the admirable Bill which he has introduced, that a petition should be presented within a week after any person has been received into any asylum, public or private, on the ground of lunacy, or even if in any degree deprived of his liberty, under heavy penalties -6,0 the parties concerned, and he will render tlie measure as nearly perfect as possible. The cases of the brothers, PETER SHARPE ANS TIE and HENRY ANSTIE, which were brought fok ward in April, 1849, and of Mr. EDWARD VICARS and Miss NOTTIDGE, which attracted general at tention in the same year, afford unanswerable evidence of the justice and expediency of such ;a course. The brothers ANSTIE were unquestionably incompetent to take charge of their own persois or properties ; Mr. VICARS and Miss NOTTIDGE, on the other hand, were fully competent in both respects. The different branches of the subject are, therefore, well illustrated by those remarkable cases, to which we would once more earnestly so licit the public attention. In the case of the ANSTIES, their father had many years previously—forty years in one case, and thirty in the other placed them in the Asylum at Fishponds, where, during his lifetime, they received every care and attention befitting their condition. On his death he bequeathed an annuity of 3501. a year to each for his support, being, as may easily be inferred, something about the rate which he considered sufficient to provide them with suitable accommodation and comforts. After some time the relatives thought it ex tremely hard that so much money should be applied to the use of those whom they had utterly neglected for some years. They first induced the Trustees appointed by Mr. ANSTIE, Sen., to reduce the allowance paid to the Asylum to 1101. for each. The unfortunate men were, consequently, placed in an inferior class, the very worst depart ment of the establishment, and associated with the lowest order of patients. They were, as !a matter of course, deprived of the comforts pt- viously allowed, lodged at night in miserable chambers, and kept by day in low, dark, coin mon rooms, with dismal paved yards, sur• rounded by buildings two storeys high on th4e sides, and on the fourth by a high wall, froin whence they were never taken out for exercise. The friends (!) knew their ill-judged economy must be productive of such results ; but the comforts of persons about whom, save so far as regarded their, money, they had long ceased to concern themselves was a matter of pro found indifference. Not only was 4801. per annum set aside, which would come into their hands, but the accumulations, amount ing to no less than 8,400/. (4,200/. in each case) were actually divided amongst the next of kin, who executed a bond of indemnity, guar anteeing the trustees (!) against the consequences of their most illegal and unjustifiable acts. If they had been made wards of Court under a com mission, nothing could have been done without the sanction and approbation of the LORD CHAN CELLOR ; their comforts could not then have been improperly abridged, or their property illegally divided. The prudent relatives, however, would not incur the expense, and we have seen the re sult. Is it not one a repetition whereof should be guarded against ? Does it not afford suffi cient grounds for preventing relatives from ad ministering the property of lunatics, in any in stance, save under the control and surveillance of the Court ? Mr. EDWARD VICARS had carried on business as merchant,and b h y ad unha dr p :a rather a wino thertoo and freely,spirit partly occasioned differences with his wife. He had some extra ordinary notions on the subject of food and elec tricity ; but, as Dr. SOUTHEY declared in his evi dence, "there is much yet to be discovered with respect to electricity ; and it was not surprising that a partially educated man should have exag gerated notions of it." These extravagant notions, were, however, sufficient to induce " two skilful persons" to sign a certificate of his insanity, and another skilful person, a man of some experience, who accompanied the magistrates on their quar terly tour of inspection, to certify that he was not fit to be at large. This latter was readily granted, at the request of the proprietor of the asylum, on an examination of less than five minutes. How far it was warranted by the facts, may be judged from the sub sequent evidence of Dr. SOUTHEY, who, in his sworn evidence, declared, " that, upon all ordinary cases, he believed that Mr. VICARS was sane ; and it was his impression that it would be cruel to confine him—that it would be hard to deprive hint of his civil rights. He also thought that he was fit to be a free agent in the disposal of his property and of his person, and the manag , ment of his affairs, and he should not think hiixt self justified in giving a certificate that would con fine Mr. Vicmis in a lunatic 'asylum." The jury, acting on that opinion, at once pronounced a ver dict which restored the alleged lunatic to perfect _ _ freedom, and yet he had been improperly detained for twenty months in a madhouse--until he for tunately made his escape—and his furniture and property sold, by the direction of his brother and partner, and an account of the proceeds of the sales positively refused. Not one shilling would be advanced either for his maintenance or defence, until an order of the LORD CHANCELLOR was ob tained for 2001., through the disinterested exer tions of the " Alleged Lunatics' Friend Society." Miss NOTTIDGE had been dragged from her residence by her brother-in-law, with the consent of her mother and other relatives, and privately conveyed to a lunatic asylum. She had property, and it is probable that the dread of her making an improvident match was the existing cause of. her detention. Her friends, and amongst them one, at least, of her sisters, were unable to dis cover the place of her confinement, and without such knowledge the Commissioners in Lunacy would not interfere. She, however, contrived to escape, and, although speedily recaptured, she had, during the interval, been enabled to in dicate her situation to those taking a sufficient interest in her fate to require a searching in vestigation. A petition was forthwith presented to the Commissioners, and the result of inquiry was an order fro her immediate release. But she had previously lingered for nearly a year and a-half enduring the horrors of a madhouse, and the company of the insane. Many an intellect might have been destroyed under so fear ful an ordeal. Surely a single case of this description, and there are hundreds, pro bably thousands, of similar ones, are sufficient to warrant the adoption of the most stringent precautions. If the suggestion we have made were adopted, and a Commission issued in every instance where a party has been a week in con finement, we should not again hear of such fear ful occurrences. If such should be the case, we venture to predict that many cases of unjustifi able detention will be brought to light, and that Lord ST. LEONARDS will earn for himself the thanks and gratitude of many persons who will be restored to freedom and happiness through his intervention. COURT CIRCULAR. The Queen, after the passing of the funeral procession of the late Field-Marshal, Arthur Duke of Wellington, went to St. James's Palace, and witnessed the procession from the windows. Her Majesty was accompanied by the Prince of Wales, the Princess Royal, Prince Alfred, the Princess Alice, the Duchess of Kent, and the Prin cess Charlotte of Belgium, and the Priiicess of Hohen lohe Langenburg and the Princesses Adelaide and Theo dore of Hohenlohe.

A special train on the Great Western Railway conveyed the august party to Windsor. The Duchess of Kent, accompanied by the Princess of Hohenlohe Langenburg, left town yesterday afternoon, for her residence, Frogmore, near Windsor. Her Royal Highness was attended by Lady Augusta Bruce and Sir George Couper. DEATH OF THE EARL OF SHREWSBURY.—This distin guished nobleman expired on the 9th inst., at Naples, after a short illness. The noble earl has been sojourning on the Continent during the last two years, an~ was re cently at Palermo. About the 3d inst. he was suddenly seized with an affection of the brain, caused by exposure to the intense heat of the place, and his removal to Rome was advised by his medical attendants. After resting for a day, his lordship and suite set out for that city, and reached Naples, where he was taken suddenly ill of fever, and soon after expired. At Birmingham last evening a solemn dirge, at which the Right Rev. Dr. Ullathorne officiated, was sung for the repose of the soul of the deceased nobleman. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. DEVONPORT, Nov. 15, The electric telegraph has been completed here to the Commodore Superintendent's office, and Mr. Arthur Radcliffe has been appointed to have charge of it ; he arrived here for that purpose on Monday. The charge against Mrs. Sampson, of Devonport, for harbouring a seaman of the Dee, and of which so much has been said in the local papers, was dismissed yester day • the finding the man in an open tap - room, with all doors open, could not be considered as concealing. St. George, ordinary guard-ship, has been paid wages this day. PUBLIC INCOME AND EXPENDITURE.-011 Wednesday the Government balance sheet for the year ended the sth of July, 1852, and a similar account for the year ended the 10th of February, 1852, were printed in, a Parliamentiary paper.

SOUTHERN WHALE FISHERY. - The New Bedford Mercury has reports from about 70 ships on the coast of Kamschatka, up to August 1. The ships have done very well, the average catch being about nine whales‘to each vessel. The few reports which we have from the Arctic do not look so well, but they are not sufficiently numerous to demonstrate the fortune of the season.— Boston Post, Nov. 2. PRINCESS'S THEATRE.—Last evening, after the play of Anne Blake, a Monody, beautifully written by Mr. Westland Marston, was beautifully spoken by Mrs. Charles Kean. This graceful and appropriate tribute of respect to the memory of the Departed Great was de servedly appreciated by the audience, with which the house was densely crowded. GRATIS.

CHRISTMAS BOXES TO POSTMEN.—About six weeks since a large proportion of the letter carriers in the kingdom memorialised the Postmaster-General, begging his lordship to rescind the recent order forbidding them to solicit Christmas boxes. The following is a copy of the reply which the various letter carriers have received: " General Post-office, November, 1852.—Sir,—The Postmaster-General having received a memorial from you and other letter carriers at —, respecting the so licitation of Christmas boxes from the public by servants of this department, I am desired to state, in reply, that his lordship does not consider it expedient to rescind his recent order on that subject.—l am, sir, your obedient servant, W, MAI:SEELEY, Secretary." IDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 19, 1852. MONEY AND COMMERCIAL NEWS. • CITY, Two O'CLOCK. The Cotton and Railway Share Markets at Lisbon were closed yesterday. The six weeks' average price of wheat is 38s. 11d. per quarter, and the quantity sold last week was 109,376 quarters. A more limited business has been transacted in most staples during the present week, and ,Frices have undergone no essential changes. Sugar has, in some instances, been dearer, and has generally an upward tendency, holders not having offered much. Ceylon Coffee is held for very full rates; Saltpetre has been lower; Cotton in more demand; Tallow well maintained; and Tea and Rice have been taken steadily for home consumption. The steamer Plata, with the West India Mail has arrived. She has 862,334 dollars in specie on board. The following is from Jamaica:— " The weather during the past week has been very fine. The rains have continued, but very moderately, and our gauge shows that the fall of water during the week has only amounted to 2,500 gallons to the acre. The atmosphere has been clear, and the weather ex ceedingly cool and pleasant. The highest range of the thermometer was 85, whilst the night register has been 73 without any variation. The accounts that we have reeeivedj from the rural districts are most encouraging for the interest of the planters; but whilst we congratu late our agricultural friends upon their present bright prospects, we regret exceedingly to state, that the labouring population, in several districts of the parish, are suffering much from the want of employment. The regret which we express, is not for those per sons who, from habits of idleness, and whose inert-. ness, render them unfit for employment; but rather for those whose habits and inclinations render them at all times desirable labourers to be employed upon estates. A great deal of distress consequently prevails among our rural population, from there not being any employment for all of them. The fact is,. that out of crop the estates cannot afford employment to the whole of our labouring population, and these latter have not yet recovered from the fatal effects of cholera and small-pox upon their system—both physically and morally—to have remedied the neglect of our native productions for the sustenance of themselves and their families during this period of the year. The high prices of the necessaries of life is also an aggravation to the suf fering of the masses, which, if not remedied ere another year shall have passed over us, will be likely to lead to consequences that are too painful to be contemplated with indifference. It is an act of wanton injustice, as well, also, of cruelty, to grind the labouring man down to ls., and in some instances to 9d:, per day, and then tax his food to such an extent that the humble pittance of his wages cannot furnish his family and himself with sufficient food to sustain nature." The baneful operation of the heavy import duties is thus described : r rd a y fig ures as " According to our Imp or t D u ty Bill, the duties upon goods which are not bo n d a bl e mus t b e pa id b e f ore t h ey are landed from the vessel i n w hi c h th e y are i mpor t e d . These duties are retu rne d w h en th e goo d s are so ld and exported, provided th e expor t at i on ta k es p l ace w i thin three years of the peri o d o f i mportat i on. Th e dut i es have therefore to be ad vance d, and the i nterest, wh i ch in the course of a year, an d upon large importat i ons, is considerable, is lost, or fo rms a h eavy i tem in the charges on trade. That portion of th em pa i d on goods which have not been exported within th e per i od mentioned, is of course not returned, and also goes to swell the charges mentioned. The internal trade o f thi s i sland in dry goods has been such, that very little of th e f ore i gn goo d s which are bondable has been placed i n th e ware h ouses. The necessity of opening original packag es f or th e pur pose of assorting the articles, has rendered the r i g ht t o bond such goods of little or no value to the importers." There had been smuggling into Ki ngs t on disco vered.Turkishnowbl:inollhheolldd.ers, convened under r : receipts, 1852. . £16,418 15,361 by ,o The eT ht t h h i s e m l c d aa o e s n yt e t: w r a i n aer c g ee t l o i o r ns f , is now 44,656 42,030 9,373 8,599 9,612 9,129 22,930 22,312 Great Western North Western South Western Brighton ...

SOUTHAMPTON, Nov. 18.—The La Plata, West India arrived at 8 a.m., with the West her voyage homeward, fever of a most virulent form broke out on board, and her commander, Captain \est India Mail s m te a a ils m : s i hi o p ; William Allan, the pur ser the third engineer, and six of the crew have fallen a sacrifice. Several of the passengers were also ill. Mr. Powell, her Majesty's Collector of Customsesvessel hears from the Custom s ' authority i n L on d on th e v in the S o uthampton river, but that no communication whatever is to take place is t o at this port, h as d ec id e d that until he with her. No newspapers have as yet been (sent on shore. We learn, h owever, th a t th e y e ll ow f eve r prevailed to a remain great extent in most of the West India Islands. La Plata brought 850,000 dol. a ndvs7 passengers. She left St. Thomas's pl the 4th. Since the above was written the mails have been fumigated and dispatched by the mail-train. The ship brings upwards of 800,000 doh in specie, 55 ser ons of cochineal, 5t b a l es o f sarsaparilla, and a quantity of general merchandise. Her latest dates are—Grenada, Oct. 26 • Chagres, 28 ; Demerara, ; 28 : Barbadoes, 28 Jamaica 28 ; Porto Rico, Nov. 2 ; St. Thomas's, 4 ; Panama, Oct. 20. There are 87 passengers on board, amongst whom is the Bishop of Sydney. The Plata spoke the Falcon, emigrant-ship, Nov. 6--all well. No orders had been received from London respecting the vessel. It is fully expected here that she will be ordered to the quarantine ground at the Motherbank. Mr. Wiblim, the medical inspector, is still on board, and will not be permitted to leave until the ship receive pratique. She is still at her moorings in the river, strictly guard e d an d no communication allowed with her. FRANCE. PARIS, WEDNESDAY.---The Prince President, who returned yesterday from Fontainebleau, _attended the Opera Comique last night in state, where he was received with great warmth. The exterior of the Theatre was illuminated and ornamented with eagles and crowns in gas, and the interior gor geously (arranged. In the complimentary verses sung by actresses representing the Fine Arts, the Prince was addressed as " Sire," and treated with the deference due to Imperial Majesty. After the performance of the Domino Noir,' the Prince left amidst renewed marks of respect. There is an article in the Moniteur which would seem to have for its object to remove the pain pro duced on the minds of Legitimists by the publica tion in the Moniteur 9f the manifesto of the Count de Chambord, side •by side with the atrocious de nunciations of the refugee Socialists. While there is a disclaimer of intention to put on the same line a party respecting the principles of order with savage committees preaching up assassination, it is, nevertheless, insinuated that the quasi Royal manifesto is calculated to lead to the same result. Both alike, it is argued, resist the paternal sovereignty ; the demagogues, by seeking to substi tute their own personal will ; and the Count de Chambord, by placing his personal rights above those of the country. The paper then proceeds to point out the inconsistencies of the demagogues, who, so long as it served their purpose, proclaimed the sovereignty of the people, and as soon as the people abandoned them deny the right of the nation itself to change what they call the Republic. No less inconsistent is the Count de Chambord 'declared to be in setting up any other claim than that founded on the declared will of the people in 'face of history, appealing to the origin of the Pepins and Capets, who superseded the natural heirs by and with popular consent. " The national will is, then," says the writer in the Moniteur, " the principle and right of every dynasty." The Pays, writing to the same effect, goes, how ever, more at large into the subject of the late manifestos, administering a severe castigation to the Socialist refugees. Galignani gives the following account of the visit of the Prince President to the Operq. Comique " The Prince President went last evening in state to the Opera Comique. He arrived about half-past seven, and was received with loud cries of Vive l'Empereur !' The front of the theatre, in the Rue Marivaux, was lit up with gas, representing the cipher of the Prince, and eagles with outspread wings. The entrance of the theatre was ornamented with flowers, and hung with crimson velvet. In the saloon the bust of the Emperor Napoleon was placed at one end, and that of the Prince his nephew on the other. When the Prince entered the box reserved for him, the whole audience rose and received him with acclamations, even the ladies joining in the cry of Vive l'Empereur !' In the Prince's box were the ex- King Jerome, Prince Napoleon Bonaparte, his son, and Generals de Lourmel and Roguet. In the adjoining boxes were the Ministers, General Magnan, General d'Hautpoul, Prince Murat, M. de Morney, M. Mocquart, and other persons of note. The performance - consisted of the Domino Noir , with Madame Ugalde and Coud ere , in their original parts, and a cantata, called the Fetes des Arts, Chant de l'Avenir, the words by M. Mery, and the music by M. A. Adam. The usual curtain was re placed by a new one prepared for the occasion represent ing the palace of Fontainebleau. When this curtain rose, another was seen behind it, representing velvet sprinkled with bees, and bearing a colonade, on which were inscribed the names of the towns which the Prince visited during his tour. Towards the end of the cantata the scene changed, and discovered a view of the Louvre as it will appear when terminated. This view called forth loud applause. At the end of the cantata, two figures of Fame descended from the clouds bearing an imperial crown. The whole performance passed over with great eclat, and the Prince left the theatre at half past eleven amidst renewed acclamations." REDUCTION OF THE FRENCH ARMY. PARIS, THURSDAY. The following are the terms in which the Moni teur conveys the news of the long-expected an nouncement:— "On the Ist January, 1848, the effective of the army amounted to 380,500 men. After the revolution it was raised to 446,808, at which figure it stood at the period of the first election of Louis Napoleon. By suc cessive diminutions, the number had fallen on the Ist January, 1852, to 400,594 men. His Highness the Prince President has just given orders to the Minister of War to reduce it to 370,177. This effective comprises the army of Africa and that of Rome. On the Ist of Decem ber, this important measure will be realised; it will be a reduction of more than 30,000 men in less than a-year." The Moniteur contains a series of instructions regarding the mode of taking the vote on the Senatus Consultum, which, if fairly carried out, as no doubt they will, cannot fail to ensure fair play. The bureau or committee of each electoral college is to be composed of a president, of four assessors, and a secretary, chosen from amongst the electors. The president is to be the mayor, or his delegate ; and the assessors are to be taken from amongst the municipal councillors, or, in default thereof, of two of the oldest and two of the youngest electors present. The list of persons entitled to vote is to lie constantly on the table, and each name checked off and certified according as the vote is given. There are also the usual orders for sealing up the ballot-boxes, taking the total, and remitting the results certified to the Corps Legislatif. The Patrie, on the eve of the vote for the Em pire, enumerates the services rendered by Louis Napoleon. First, with regard to the clergy, there is the restoration of the Pantheon to the service of the Church ; then the appointment of priests to the navy, the addition to the salaries of the canons of St. Denis, the authorisation for religious orders of ' women, the introduction of bishops into the Senate, the credits allowed for different churches, grants for the benefit of the lower orders of the priesthood, and the payment of the debts incurred by the Bishop of Algeria. The Government journal next dwells on the formation of the Senate and other bodies of the State, as showing great construc tive power. Then comes departmental decentrali sation, by which freer latitude of administration is afforded the local authorities. The reform of the university. Then . comes . the army, with the re-or ganisation of the military equipages, of the hospital se rvice, of feeding and clothing, the resto r ati on o f the pensions attending the cross of the Legion o f Honour, and the institution of the military medal. Nor has the navy been forgotten—this branch of the service is reminded of the development which has been given to the elements of force and promise already contained in it by the decrees re-organising the Admiralty Board, the regulations for the mari time inscription, the coast and deep sea fisheries, and the new disciplinary code for the merchant ser vice. Finally, the people at large are reminded of the development given to railways—the immense employment afforded bypublic works—the improve ment of sea-ports—the completing of the Louvre— the opening of new streets—the conversion of the Five per Cents.—the redemption of the canals —the institution of mortgage loan and other loans banks—the extension given to the operations of the Bank of Fiance—the reduction of the rate of in terest—the mutual aid societies encouragement to sanitary institutions—the whole crowned with the Crystal Palace preparing for the Exhibition of 1854. The Patrie dwells, too, on the attention paid to the colonies, and the impetus given to emi erration. In diplomacy, there is the solution of the question of the sanctuaries at Jerusalem, the treaty of commerce with Sardinia, the treaty of navigation with Holland, the Plate River Convention, opening its navigation, with that of its tributaries, to Eu rope, the indemnity to French merchants whose ships had been sequestered at California, and the literary property treaties. With such a summary of acts before the country the Patrie looks with most complete confidence to the coming vote. The Bourse was agitated, and public securities declined in price. The Four-and-a-Half per Cents. opened at 107 f. 80c., and closed at 107 f. for the end of the month; the Three per Cents. closed at 85f. 75c.; Orleans Railroad shares, 1,750 f.; new shares, 1,095 f.: Rouen, 1000 f. ; Havre, 550 f. ; Great Northern, 895 f.; Paris and Strasburg, 870 f.; Paris and Lyons, 960 f.; Lyons and Avignon, 800 f.: Western of France, 780 f.; St. Dizier to Gray, 590 f.: Caen to Cherbourg, 640 f.; Dijon to Besan con, 630 f.; Bordeaux to Cette, 650 f. Shr. St. 111 20 LAW INTELLMENCE-(THIS DAY.) e p f m or o eß s ....!4-urney, Esq.) SHERIFF COURT. (Before WALKER V. E n THE GREAT EXHIBITION. The plaintiff in this action is an upholsterer, and sought to recover the sum of 32/. ss. for price of furniture during the Exhibition." Defendant paid 161. odd into Court, and disputed the remainder, and it was contended on his behalf that the contract was in writing, but, being unstamped, could not be received in evidence. Mr. W. R. Buchanan admitted that he could not pro ceed with success on the coitract, but submitted that he could be allowed to prove the difference between the amount claimed and that paid into Court on the general account stated, as defendant had paid monies on account. His Honour said that whatever had been paid had evidently been paid under some existing arrangement, which the plaintiff could not legally prove ; and as the plaintiff could not show, that it would be impossible to have a statement of the account, he thought the plain tiff ought to congratulate himself on having so much paid into Court. Mr. Buchanan said his client did not feel satisfied but he (Mr. Buchanan) would advise him to take what he could ; and, where such subterfuges had been resorted to, to baffle a just claim, to be more cautious in future in the mode of transacting his business. _ . , His Honour gave judgment for the sum paid into Court' but refused costs to the defendant, as the defence was founded on technical objections. THE CONTINENT• SPAIN. The contents of the Madrid journals of the 13th are unimportant. The Gazette states that in Au gust last the Post-office produced 2,801,828 reals —of which 756,725 were from the sale of postage stamps. It also publishes a royal decree according an extraordinary credit of 780,000 reals to the Minister of Finance for insufficient credits in the miugeua. SWEDEN. A letter from Stockholm of the 9th says that the state of the King had improved. He had a return of the attack of the attack of fever on the 6th, 7th, and Bth, but the bulletin of the 9th mer e ly an nounced that the night was agitated. The Princess Eugenie, the letter says, had some rest during the night, and her state o f prostration was less alarming. RUSSIA. A letter from Odessa, 22nd ult., states that the Emperor of Russia was present at the manoeuvres of the fleet at Nikolaieff and at Sebastapol, and testified his approbation of them to the officers. At Sebastapol the Czar embarked on board the steamer Wladimir, where he received Prince de Woronzow, and conversed with him for some time on the subject of the railway which is to be con structed from Odessa to Feondosia, passing by Charkow.

ROTARY ENGINES.—Two rotary engines were sub. mitted to public inspection on Saturday and yesterday. One of them, invented by Mr. Winhurst, has been applied to a steam-vessel built for experimental purposes, and 04 Saturday a trial trip was made f rom Blackwall to Long Reach. The vessel belongs to the well-known Bytterly Iron Works Company. The vessel is about 250 tons, and her draught of water 9 feet. The engine worked at about 60 revolutions per minute, and with the tide the vessel made a mile in 5 minutes 15 seconds, and against tide in rather less than 7 minutes. The consumption of fuel was stated to be a little over a ton during the trip of three hours and a half. The other engine is the invention of Mr. W. Hy att, and was exhibited at Campion's Vinegar and hi natant Works, in Old-street-road. They are both exceedingly in genious machines, but we do not see that they possess any practical excellence beyond the pretensions of fifty elhert that have been presented to the notion of the public.
