- - Tvftz . t,:=34 , 111/MIN FUNERAL OF THE DUKE OF WELLINGTON. nicest rules of justice. There were the great officers of the Government in which he had held the highest place. There were—more than all these —swarming to see the last of their hero—the way ward uncertain masses of the people who are the children of the State--for whose good the Duke worked far more truly and well than ever did their self-styled special friends— the way - ward, but, in the long run, well-judging people, who admired, feared, misunderstood, but at last loved and almost idolised the Duke. If, as a part of the solemnities of yesterday, it had been possible to gather the opinions and the feelings of the crowd which filled. St. Paul's, and choked up the great avenue of our capital, what a mag nificent monumen+ it would. be ; nobler than ever was displayed on banner, or recorded by herald's devices, or sculptered on funereal car. In the hushed and solemn anxiety of the throng of spec tators as the procession passed, there was the mark of .a deep-loved honour—not won by happy strokes of fortune—by keen intrigue or ingeniously directed eloquence, but fixed and riveted by a long and noble life open to all men's sight, by services which no man could deny, by truth, uprightness, and good heart, which no man could impugn. In speaking of so much of Wellington as now has left the earth—his spirit and the shell which imprisoned it--we mentioned the legacies which he bequeathed to his country. They are many and rich ones. It were late in the day to speak of the safety which he secured—the name which he gained —the position which he conquered—the empire which he won for England. But London gave us yesterday in its orderly solemnity—its steady con duct—its quiet universal propriety —an instance of the weight and influence working always for good in the life of which that day's grand ceremonial sealed the record. REMARKS OF Tii.E CONTEMPORARY PRESS. (Frcrm, the Times.) London yesterday must have far ed ill in the sober judgment of a stranger unacquainted with the his tory and character of the British people. The whole population appeared to be bent on feasting its eyes with a funeral pageant, of no extraordinary beauty, the subject of which was a man whose death had reng . been a matter of constant expectation. The passion, had assumed the form of a positive mono mania. To the one object of doing the thing wor thily, and beholding it thoroughly, all other con siderations had given way. A great political question, lately held sufficient to cause a dissolu tion of Parliament and a session at an unusual time, had been almost indefinitely postponed to make way for this paramount necessity. As the Chancellor of the Exchequer observed, an economical nation had rejected all thought of expense, a practical nation had , surrendered itself to a mere sentiment, a busy nation had resolved to waste a day, an un ostentatious nation had all of a sudden determined on a pompous display of public affliction. Not a single institution or arm of the State but was pressed into this new service, or, to speak more correctly, its pa r t. Th e C rown , the Legislature, the army, every department of the public service, the Church, the municipalities, the aristocratic and mercantile classes, down to the very populace, con tended with a strange rivalry to be foremost in the work of doing honour to one man. So the prin cipal thoroughfare for half the length of the me itropolis was converted into the theatre of this great national eulogy. The nobleman's mansion and the huckster's shop were equally prepared for the re ception of the spectators. Deal benches started into existence wherever it waspossible to place them. They filled every shop-window, surmounted every wall, occupied every vacant space, from the gardens of a palace to the burial-ground of a church, and the site of a house recentlypulled down. It was said yesterday that more than 200,000 seats had been constructed and offered for sale, and the greater part were taken. To avail themselves of their several opportunities, Parliament was adjourned, a holyday made by law in the City, the , shops were closed, and every artisan was early on the ground, in quest of a good standing position. While it was yet dark the pavements were occupied, and the barriers threatened with the impatient admirers of a man infinitely above the condition of the vulgar, and who never made Much profession of sympathy for it. "The city is mad," said a few cynical observers. But the country was mad too. Though floods had interrupted the railway traffic, and the baro meter was below "much rain;" though the day before had been showery, and the night promised still worse; though the streets were ankle deep in mud, and average accomodation was a guinea a sitting, still London was full of country folks, at tracted by the name of a man whose greatness in their minds was little more than a tradition from their fathers. How it passed we need not here tell. Scarce a seat was vacant, not a standing room with out its obstinate tenant, as prepared to endure the inclemency of the skies as the men who first revolu tionised France. The pageant went its way, and has left an indestructible idea in near a million minds. In the ordinary course of things, a century hence their will still be some score o ld p eo pl e i n the country who will talk to incredulous hearers of the Duke of Wellington's funeral ; and in the year 2,000, A.D., there will be a few score more who will . relate what their own fathers told them • about it. Such spontaneous honour as the multitude paid yesterday to the remains of a great and good man is a healthy sign in the body and habits of a people. The feeling which they showed is one which will grow and bear fruit. There was no sudden emo tion no violent overstrained sentiment in the matter. The expression of reverence rose evidently from deliberate opinion —from a firm conviction as to the merits of a life placed too high, and shining out too clearly, for doubt or question. The death of the Duke of Wellington startled no fresh and ardent enthusiasm, severed no hasty and fervid attachment between him and those among whom he lived : but it dissolved a love and honour knit by long knowledge of the qualities which gave them birth. It is no light thing that a people should have a feeling so worthy and so good to cherish—that they should have a memory so noble and stainless to revere—a standard so high to refer to—a test so pure by which to try the right. We, therefore, reckon these things as rich legacies —we count their influence (and it was an influence which no one could mistake) on the multitudes of yesterday as part of the rich inheritance left by the great conqueror—the just statesman —the good man— whose body lies by the great Nelson in St. Paul's. Those are great doings—achievements to awaken pride and gratitude which he wrote with a firm hand on the great page of European politics—but those are also very beautiful records, very valuable as well as touching lines in our national history, which we may read in the universal voice of the public on yesterday's solemn triumph, in their re verent and decorous observance of a noble cere mony—their appreciation of a closing tribute to the greatness which had conquered their allegiance, and the worth which had secured him love. (From the Daily News.) (From the Morning Chronicle.) Panegyric may well be thought to have ex hausted itself on the Duke of Wellington. All that was to be said, it may be supposed, has been said ; and the very unanimity of salutation has become, perhaps, wearisome. The world tires of .Aristides —the presence of a hero, and the acclamations which attend him, 'are a reproof and a rebuke to men of common mould.. Still, with the sight of yesterday's magnificent array of military pomp fresh in our recollection—before the roll of the muffled drum, the clang of trumpet, and the wail ing chorus of the funeral anthems have faded—we shall only express the popular sentiment if we once more add another voice to an expression of grati tude and respect for the departed, more unani mous, perhaps, than ever, in the world's history, saluted the tomb of soldier or citizen—of patriot or conqueror. " His body is buried in peace, but his name liveth for evermore ;" and not his name alone, but his influence. We mistake and under-estimate the Wellington we have lost, if we restrict his value, or even his presence, to a cold historical example, and to a mere ethical commonplace. Thai he is so widely appreciated shows what his life has actually done for the English mind. It teaches and animates national character, while it reflects it. Like is alone appreciated by like—example is thrown away except on congenial minds. This general apprecia tion of Wellington makes us confident in ourselves. Something heroic and patriotic is required to un derstand the patriot and hero ; and that common wealth must be sound in heart which has decreed and paid such honours to him who but reflects its general spirit and character. Our Wellington is in his grave. Some of us re member the dread of hearing that news in our youth. Some who were infants at the beginning of our century remember, as a dark cloud resting on their household day, the death of Nelson. They remember hearing what Mr. Pitt said—that he had often, while Minister, been called up in the night to receive good news or bad, and that he had always before been able to lay down his head, and sleep immediately ; but that when Lord Coiling wood's dispatch with its tidings from Trafalgar came in the night, he was so restless that he rose at three . o'clock. Prom 1809 to 1815, there was a dread that news of the like kind might come 'about Wellington. The death and burial of Sir John Moore had touched all hearts ; and whenever tidings arrived of a new sweep of the French armies over the provinces of the Peninsula, men held their breath in the fear that the next news might be of Wellington lying under the sod--" left alone with his glory." Glad would all the millions of our people have been to know that the hero would stand before Parliament to receive their thanks—would enter the House of Lords under the singular circumstances of his accu mulated honours,—having risen through the whol e gradation of ranks before he took his seat at all. Glad would those multitudes have been to know how their hero would outlive most of them, and would at last lie, not under the sod, but under the high-raised cross of our greatest cathedral ; not left " alone with his glory," but with Nelson by his side, and the certainty of being visited by successive generations, till that lofty roof shall crumble down, to be the outermost coffin of England's two greatest heroes. .presence of so illustrious an assemblage of royal, noble, and great, of our own and foreign lands. He has left us full of years—" life dis . ning out clear to the last drop"—full of honours—and entombed in the nation's heart of hearts. She has done what she could, and is now anxiously, but not despond ingly, looking round among her surviving sons, at a great crisis in the affairs of Europe, to see if she can find those worthy to tread in his steps, though they may not be able to fill his giant foot-prints, and keep pace with his mighty strides—still, how ever, that they may follow in the same direction, by keeping their eyes steadily fixed, as he did, on the triple stars of duty, truth, and honour. The Queen has lost, indeed, a prince and a great man from among her people; and the royal heart would throb when her Consort told her, in faulter ing tones, of the sublime spectacle that he had been witnessing, and the tears which he let fall by the grave of Arthur Duke of Wellington. - All that panegyrists of all time have selected as topics of congratulation for the departed, seems to have concentrated in the Duke of Wellington. His very figure and gesture were those of an his torical man. Posterity will recognise, as familiarly as his contemporaries, one who, in the presence of State affairs, exhibited in his very aspect the great man, and in all social' intercourses the good man. Severe in discipline, yet warm-hearted in the cause of charity—thefriend alike of children and of Kings . --punctual in religious, and untiring in official duties —sage in counsel, and successful in the field—no democrat was ever more the idol of the common people, and no dictator ever more com pletely, or for a longer and more eventful period, swayed the political d es ti n i es of hi s country. With enough of inflexibility to pursue what he deemed duty at the risk and loss of popularity, he had the rare fortune to be at length appreciated even by his detractors, and to recover the general affection whieh he had lost. His life, though prol onge d t o extreme old age, exhausted neither his glory n or his capacities ; and. the strong will triumphed to the last over ► the infirmities of years. And though decorated and rewarded as never subject was be fore him, envy never grudged him his fortune, nor did detraction even attempt to sully .. his .in tegrity. Twenty years of the most brilliant mili tary career left him in the highest ranks of Eng lish nobility, and the adopted marshal of every European State ; and at an age when his great rival was sinking into an unhonoured grave, and when those who are generally considered his historical parallels had finished their course, he commenced an administrative life which was crowned by en twining the civic oak with the conqueror's laurel, And was rewarded by his achievement of a title prouder than that of Prince of Waterloo—the Father of his Country. And if we cannot, of Wellington, pronounce what they of old considered the soldier's highest honour, that he died for hi s coun t r y, a higher, if a simpler,. inscription can b e pl ace d on his tomb—that he . lived for it—a n d f or it a l one . No Pericles will deliver a studied oration over his remains ; but the universal voice of his country men, and the earnest sympathy which yesterday throbbed in hundreds of thousands of mourning yet high-beating hearts, fax outweigh all the cold successes of the rhetorician's art, or the purchased and glittering phrases of the sophist's toramon- Plage book. Nations and their rulers know very well that it is the first principles of social liberty that have now to be contended for on the continent of Europe. It may probably be the greatest war that the world has ever seen. If the aggressions of tyrants should bring it on very soon, no man living is likely to see the end of it. The struggle will be, in fact, between the Asiatic and European modes of living in society —a much larger question than one of nationali ties and territorial dominion. The struggle will be between despotism and representative institutions. Despotism lives in that part of Europe which is overhung by Asiatic atmosphere ; while, in the most advanced countries in the west of Europe, the representative system of government has never been more than a mere beginning. Young and feeble, how ever, as the Western Opinion has thus far appeared, it is strong enough to have put Eastern Opinion to some hard shifts ; and, latterly, to that hardest of all, unbearable tyranny. Wellington lived to see ter ritorial alliances giving way before political affinities —the old before the new—the mechanical before the essential union ; and many of us may live to see the thickest of the fight, when Pope and Kaiser, Emperors by ancient prerogative and Emperors by vulgar usurpation, maybe struggling for supremacy rendered vain by the actual disintegration of nations. It may be for a generation yet unborn to see the issue of the warfare. What the issue will be, no man will presume to say. We can only say what it will not be. It will not be, as in many wars of the olden time, a mere recurrence to the previous state of things ;—a burying of the dead out of sight, and going on as before. It will not be a set of grants and concessions of territory, agreed upon by po tentates, without reference to their peoples. Wel lington saw the last of such doings. When the con flict is about the establishment of the principles of Western civilisation with the representative principle for the leading feature—the terms of peace must be something very different from that. We will not prophesy that which shall be. It is enough to say that we have done with the past, and that we know it by the token, that the mili tary achievements of our greatest soldier were, in fact, civic services, and that thus, while one pier of the great arch of ais fame is hung all over with the banners of armies and the trophies of the field, the other is planted on that table land where, if men go to war, it is because peace beckons them on ; and if men strive to lay one another low, it is that manhood itself may arise to live in a higher free dom. The Sovereigns of Europe sent mourners to Wellington's funeral. They, as they bent over his grave yesterday, probably thought of him as a warrior in the olden sense. We trust there were native Englishmen among that vast assemblage who thought of him more as the preserver of our nationality ; and, in that, as the champion —un consciously perhaps, but most truly—of the popu lar liberties of Europe.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF LORDS.-(YESTERDAY.) It had been arranged that the peers attending the funeral of the Duke of Wellington should embark on b axi a steamer at the esplanade in front of the Houses of Parliament. Soon after 10 o'clock, 70 or 80 member of the House of Lords assembled in the Prince's Cham ber, some of them in military uniform ; they then pro ceeded to the place of embarkation, landed at Paul's wharf, and entered the Cathedral by the south door. HOUSE OF COMMONS----(YESTERDAY). The house met at ten o'clock pursuant to the recom mendation of the committee appointed to consider the best mode of providing for the accommodation of mem bers desirous of attending St. Paul's Cathedral. Amongst the members present we observed Lord John Manners, Sir J. Graham, Lord Naas, Mr. Henley, Mr. Labouchere, Sir J. Y. Buller, Sir F. Thesiger, Sir C. Wood, Mr. W. Patten, Mr. E. Ellice, Mr. Baines, Mr. Glyn, Mr. B. Denison, Mr. Geach, Sir W. Clay, Lord H. Vane, Mr. W. Miles, Mr. F. Mackenzie, Colonel Sibthorp, &c. At half-past ten (there being at the time nearly 300 members present), Sir C. WOOD rose and said : The house will, perhaps, permit me, having been appointed chairman of the com mittee for making the necessary arrangements for proceed ing to St. Paul's, to state exactly the course which is to be pursued. (Hear, hear). The House of Peers will precede us, and will embark about half-past ten. After the house adjourned last night I met Lord Hardinge, who said he thought we might follow a quarter of an hour later. The House of Peers, after embarking at the es planade, will proceed to Paul's-wharf, where they will land, and to that place we shall follow them. Our course of proceeding will be this. The namer of all the coun ties in the United Kingdom are written on slips of paper and placed in 2, box, from which the clerk will draw them one by one, calling out the name of each county. When the first name is called, the members for such county, and the members for all the boroughs in that county, will have the goodness to leave the house and proceed to the esplanade, and take the first boat. When that boat is filled another will be ready, and in this manner accom modation for ail the members will be provided. (Hear, hear). At Paul's-wharf the landing place will be kept clear for us. A staff officer has been appointed by Lord Hardinge for tlat purpose, and he will undertake to keep the passage clear up to Paul's-chain, an opening on the s)uth side of St. Paul's churchyard ; we may possibly be kept waiting there a little while, because it is q u it e i mposs ibl e t o fi x t h e prec i se mo ment vo d convenient so ofoafr after rs the cross. at We which ch expect it tmoaybebe on t able troops have all arrived and taken their places, and before the carriages set down. On crossing the south side of St. Paul's Churchyard, we shall arrive at the western front of St. Paul's Cathedral; where there are three doors. The centre door is set apart for the funeral procession. After passing the door at the south-west corner, and the centre door, we shall arrive at the north west door, and be conducted to our places in the north west aisle, under the dome. The arrangement which has been made will, I trust, be found convenient. (Hear, hear.) The steamboats are ordered to be in attendance at Paul's-wharf from three o'clock until four, for the con venience of members returning. What time the cere money will be over it is not easy to say ; but, at its ter mination, it has been arranged that we shall return to the house in the order in which we proceeded to St. Paul's. (Hear, hear.) I may add, that two steamboats have been engaged, ani that a third is in readiness if addi tional accommodation should be required. (Hear, hear.) I now beg to suggest that the clerk proceed to call over the names of the counties. (Hear, hear.) Lord JOHN MANNERS : I am sure the house is extremely grateful to the right honourable gentleman for the trouble he aas taken in affording us the informa tion he has just given. (Hear, hear). I will only add one word, namely, that as a free passage will be reserved for members coming from the Cathedral, I hope they will avail themselves of the opportunity of proceeding to the wharf with all due expedition. (Hear, hear). The clerk then proceeded to draw the list of names in the manner suggested. The first county drawn was Dur ham. The name having been called out by the clerk, the members for that county, and for the boroughs in that county, at *nee rose and made their way to the es planade, and thence on board one of the steamers. The members for the county of Huntingdon were next called ; and the same course was pursued until all the members had taken their departure, The boats returned to the esplanade about a quarter past three, when the members immediately separated.

We have buried our dead out of our sight, and Wellington is sleeping by the side of Nelson. How unspeakably precious are these two jewels of the national honour, safe in the sacred keeping of our renowned. cathedral ! Who will henceforth pass that hallowed structure without a thrill of fond pride and enthusiasm ? Where in the wide world sleep two greater warriors -and both Englishmen ! —who have turned their vast warlike capacities to nobler purposes, and conferred more extended and enduring benefits upon society by their skill, prowess, and patriotism ? Yesterday we buried our Wellington—that is, all that was mortal of him. In the sublime accents which were c h ante d over hi s dust— " His body is buried in peace, but his name liveth evermore." And how ? As the image and representative of a o s bs p eaer u tu re e , sw e lvh ical eicr ;ed, and g ran d a c h arac t er as ever distinguisheded one of the h uman s p ec i es .

The scenes and circumstances of yesterday will never, so long as life shall last, be obliterated from the memory of those who witnessed them. In no other country in the world could such a state of things have occurred as that which this vast metro polis exhibited from the morning's dawn till the close of the day. The aspect of the streets along the line of procession, or the procession itself, we will not attempt to describe. As vivid a view of both will be found in another part of our paper as it is possible to give ; but the description, however graphic, falls far short of the reality. London ap peared yesterday in a light in which it never was to be seen before. Centuries may elapse ere a similar spectacle is witnessed again ; if, indeed, the metro politan public be destined ever to see such another scene. The Duke is now laid in his grave. Amidst ceremonies the most solemn and raagnifi cant, the ashes of the greatest captain of his age were yester day consigned to their final resting-place in St. Paul's Cathedral. The termination of the imposing procession constituted a singularly impressive scene. The aspect of the place, the performance of the burial service, the mighty swell of the organ's tones blending with the music of human voices, rendered the entire scene one of surpassing grandeur as well as profound solemnity, and was, we repeat, such a sight as never was witnessed before, and never may be again. The glory which shed its halo around the person and character of the mighty man during his life, has followed him to his grave. The pomp and circumstance which attended the remains of the illustrious warrior, as they were yesterday borne in slow and solemn march through the streets of the metropolis, and the imposing ceremonies an.ud which his ashes were co nsigned to their kindred dust, formed a fitting finale to the brilliant repu tation which he enjoyed while he lived. So that if no man of his day achieved such brilliant exploits as those which won such surpassing renown for the name of Wellington, no man ever quitted the world amid such striking manifestations of a nation's regard. If the Duke of Wellington, beyond any other person of his age, deserved well of his country, never did a people form a higher appreciation of the merits of a distinguished man, than did the people of England of the brilliant qualities of the Duke. And that appreciation they did not fail to express in a manner the most p r actical. In no parsimonious spirit, and with no niggard hand, did the Imperial Parliament, in sympathy with the feelings of the country, reward him for his glorious deeds. If the services which he rendered to his country in . the battle-field were unrivalled, he received, in addition to a nation's approbation, all in the shape, both of honour and opulence, that a nation could bestow. The highest title which a subject can possess, was conferred upon him. He was, inde e d, loaded with distinguished titles. They were so manifold that his countrymen scarcely knew half their number. And as regards the more substan tial rewards which brilliant services ought to re ceive, the Duke of Wellington received, time after time, princely sums from the British Pa r li amen t. He couldfdesm nothing more, either in the shape of titles or wealth from an admiring and grateful country. Of the noble Duke himself, we need say no more. A great man—the greatest by far of his day—has been laid in his grave ; but, though his body has returned to the dust, and his well-known face and •venerable figure will no more gladden the eye of an admiring nation, his reputation will never perish. So long as the page of history is open, so long will the name of the Duke of Wellington be familiar to the eye and ears of mankind, and so long will it be remembered with feelings akin to those which were yesterday expressed in a manner never to be forgotten. EARLY WINTER IN THE NORTHERN SEAS.—The fol- lowing report from the log of Captain Done, command ing the steam vessel Amsterdam, whi c h arr i ve d a t Dun kirk on the 9th instant, shows that although the winter in France has been like that of spring the winter has begun to set in severely in the Baltic. The vessel left Dunkirk on the 17th ult., and on the 25th anchored in Cronstadt Road ; the thermometer stood at six degrees of cold, and the vessel was surrounded with floating ice ; the passengers and luggage were, however removed on board another steamer, and were able to proceed to St. Pe tersburgh. On the evening of the 26th all communication between Cronstadt, St. Petersburg, and Oraniembaum, a small town situated six miles to the south of Cronstadt, was completely interrupted by the ice. On the 27th the port of Constadt was completely frozen over, and persons were skating on it. A number of men were employed to cut the ice for the sailing vessels, and on that day and the following there was a general sauve qui peut. On the 28th the thermometer in the sun marked 10 degrees centigrade below zero, Fortu nately the wind blew strong from the N.E., and the water in the roads where the Amsterdam was lying being much agitated, did not freeze, but in the port the ice was 10 centimetresi thick. A number of men continued occu pied in breaking it, which is a difficult work, but which the Russians perform with much dexterity. In the night of the 28th, the glass fell to 18.5 degrees centrigrade below zero. During the day the vessel received her passengers on board, and in the evening left the roads. Two hours after she left she encountered a violent snow storm, and, not being able to distinguish anything was for eight hours compelled to advance very slowly. On the morning of the 30th the Island of Heligoland was seen, and the vessel then continued her course at full speed. Through all the Gulf of Finland, and a great portion of the Baltic, the fall of snow and hail was con tinued. Tha thermometer stood at from 6to 10 degrees centigrade below zero, until the Ist instant, when the ice on the deck began to thaw, and on the 2d the Am sterdam ttrr..deSUICIDE the waartrMartin oiiennde,srs nvageneorder, anchored in Copenhagen roads.

Mr. Osborne stated that the deceased had been in his employ about eight years, and was always a very sober, steady m an . He had done no regular work for witness for the last six weeks, with the exception of a little odd job bing occasionally, and his mind had become so affected that although a good arithmetician, he was at times un able to count a few bundles of wood. After one of the head attacks passed off, he would tell witness that during their continuance, he felt as if he could do anything with himself ; but witness never understood him to mean sui cide. On Monday morning last he had asked witness's daughter where her father was, and not finding him, hung down his head, and went out of the shop. On the pre vious Saturday he was last seen by his son-in-law, to whom he expressed himself in a very desponding way, in consequence of being out of work, and things went strangely with him, about which he was very excited, but did not say anything about making away with himself. About half-.past eight in the evening deceased's wife suspected that something was wrong, and sent for Mr. Cooper, • neighbour, who went up - stairs, on the front room of a nei the first floor, and saw him lying over a pail. Mr. Lenton, surgeon, of 33, Leicester-square, was im mediately called in, and that gen tleman on un the un happy man, with his throat . cut,. lying h the floor, with which e his right hand and arm in a pail,had Placed • there to receive his blood. A white-hadled razor, with which he cormitted the fatal act, was at the bottom of the pail. On examining the wound itwasseeuthat he had cut from the back of the n eck, and dividedboth the jugular vein and cartoid artery , internally_an d externally. Death must have been instantaneous. Verdict—" Tem porary Insanity." SHIPWRECK OF AN EAST INDIAMAN.—I nformation has been received of the total loss of a fine Indianian, near Amlwch Bay, on the Welch coast. The Fairfield, Cap tain Hughes, left Liverpool on Wednesday last, the instant, for Bombay, with a valuable general cargo. In passing down the channel her rudder got unshipped, and the vessel became quite unmanageable, and drove on Dulas Rocks, at the entrance of Dulas Bay, near Amlwch, where she beat heavily, and with considerable difficulty the captain and crew were got safe on shore. A strong gale having sprung up, with a heavy sea, the ship laboured so much that se soon bilged, and the tide ebbs and flows through her. Above thirty men, under the directions of Captain Hughes and the agents, are employed in saving the spars, sails, and rigging ; a por tion of her stern has been stove in, and her stores, which were stowed aft, are being w as h e d on shore. On the news of the disaster being known at Liverpool, the bro kers, without delay, dispatched steamers, lighters, a life boat, and a number of men to Dulas Bay, for the pur pose of saving the cargo, and conveying it to Liverpool, as the beach in the vicinity of the wreck is unfavourable for landing. The vessel remains upright, and dries at low water, so that if the weather moderates there is every probability of saving the greater portion of the cargo. MR. SECRETARY WALPOLE'S ELECTORS,—The South Eastern, Gazette says that in the neighbouilood of Mar gate but little progress is making towards furnishing the required number to the militia. Three of those who have enlisted have since been committed for trial. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.—Nov. 18. (Before Mr. Serjeant Adams, Assistant-Judge, and a Bench of Magistrates, at the Guildhall, Westminster.) This was bail-day, but the following was the only case on the list : George Dutnell, a lad about 17, surrendered to take his trial for an indecent assault on a child of eight years of age. Mr. Sleigh and Mr. Parry conducted the prosecution, which was instituted by the Associate Institution for Enforcing and Improving the Laws for the Protection of Women, and Mr. Ballantine defended. The case lasted several hours, and several witnesses were called for the defence to establish alibi, as it was argued that the defendant was innocent of the charge, and that the child had been induced by the threats or other coercion of the real party to fix the guilt on him when the offenee was discovered. The jury returned a verdict of Guilty. The Assistant-Judge said that such perjury had been committed by the witnesses for the defence that he doubted whether they ought not to be indicted for it. It was impossible for that little child to have invented the series of falsehoods which were imputed to her. The offence that the defendant had committed was an aggra vated one in itself, but it was grossly aggravated by the foul and wicked perjury of the defence, and his sentence might not have been so heavy but for that. He had wickedly and cruelly abused the unfortunate child, and then, to screen himself, endeavoured to fix on her a stigma for life, in imputing to her wicked and deliberate falsehood. He sentenced him to one year's imprison ment, with hard labour. The mother and sister (as we understood) of the pri soner, who were in court, asked permission to see him iw before he was taken away to prison. The Assistant - Judge said, certainly not. He would allow no one who had concocted this infamous defence to see him. The the other side who had told the falsehoods, The Assistant - Judge declared he would hear . no fur ther, and, and ordered the applicants to leave the court ; and the prisoner was re move d f rom th e d oc k. themselves.as POLICE INTELLIGENCE. 1301 V STREET. — Although Mr. Hall, the chief magistrate, and the officers of the Court were in attend ance at an unusually early hour, in the expectation of an excessive number of charges, it is a remarkable fact that for many years there has not been so complete a cessation of business. There were but three or four ordinary cases, which were disposed of either . by the infliction of a s s. fine, or by the discharge of the offenders. THAMES._Henry Pearce was charged with stealing a horse and cart, and 7i quarters of oats. Benjamin Avislott, said he was in the employ of Mr. Charles Baker, a butcher, of Newgate-market, and that day he was on her Majesty's service, in supplying the cavalry regiments which took part in the Duke of Wel lington's funeral with oats. A few minutes after one o'clock, he drove his master's.horse and cart into Leman street, Whitechapel, 7quarters of oats, for the use of a 4 few yards from the High-street. The cart the troops from Ipswich, who were to return through Whitechapel. He left the h orse and cart in the street while he went into the Red Lion public-house to obtain some refreshment. He w as a b sen t a b o ut ten minutes, contain and on his return he found the horse and cart were gone. Soon afterwards he found tke prisoner in custody. Richard Shipman, a tripe-dresser, of High-street, Whitechapel, stated that lie saw the prisoner driving Mr. Baker's horse and cart, containing the oats, at a furious rate along the Higk_ s treet, on the south side, he came in violent collision with a meat gallows or rack, on which there were a great I rt any hooks for hanging meat upon, and his further prowess was stopped. Mr. Lan kester then came up, and detained the prisoner. Mr. R. L. Lankester, m eat salesman in the High street, Whitechapel, was c oming down Somerset-street from Tower-hill, when he saw the prisoner drive against the meat-rack on the roadway opposite his house. The horse began kicking and plunging, and the prisoner got so entangled with it, that he could not extricate himself. He assisted the prisoner, and took the meat-rack away. He asked the prisoner to pay for the damage done to the meat-rack, which he refused to do, and was about to drive off, when the witness collared him. Two men came up and whispered into the prisoner's ears. This excited his suspicions, and he said to the prisoner, "You are not one of Mr. Baker's men, for you have got a white apron on." The prisoner made some excuse, and said his master would pay for the damage. Witness would not let him go, and said, " You have stolen that horse and cart," and gave him into custody. The pri soner said a man had just given him shilling to drive the horse and cart, but only 2d. was found upon him. Mr. Ingham committed the prisoner for trial, and at the request of Mr. Avislott, who said he wanted the oats for her Majesty's troops, ordered them to be deli vered to him. UNSOPHISTICATED ELOQUENCE.—A countrywoman was carrying on a very simple process against a neighbour in one of the small courts of Germany. The attorney of the opponent pestered her with so much of chicanery and legal subtleties, that she lost all patience, and interrupted him thus :—" My Lords, the case is simply this—l be spoke of my opponent, the carpet-maker, a carpet with figures which were to be as handsome as my Lord the Judge, and he wants now to force me to take one with horrible caricatures, uglier even than his attorney. Was I not right in breaking off the bargain I" The Court laughed at the comparison, the attorney was stupified, and the woman won her suit. MELANCHOLY SHIPWRECKS OF THE IRISH COAST. The rumours which were rife on Friday evening with respect to the vessels which had been lost on Bray Head unhappily proved to be too true. On Friday morning, at about half-past three o'clock, the coast guards on duty near Greystones discovered a vessel which subse quently proved to be the Lady Harriet schooner, of Chester, close to the shore. When first seen at low water her masts were standing, and her crew five in number, were seen lashed to them. The waves, how ever, broke over them with great force, and no effective assistance could be rendered them. She knocked about from that until high water, at 10 o'clock, when her fore mast went overboard, carrying with it four of the sailors. The captain, however, still clung to the mainmast, and was somewhat sheltered by a portion of the sail which he had managed to fasten to the weather side of the mast, so as in some measure to break the force of the waves which were at this time sweeping over the wreck with terrific violence. He must evidently have been a man of great coolness and determination, for he was plainly seen to cut away a portion of the rigging, which was in danger of falling on him, and also to kick away a spar with his foot. At length, however, the sail gave way, and he dragged away with it, but managed by means of the lashings with which he was made fast to the mast to regain his former position, where he held on for some minutes longer. The mainmast, however, was finally carried away, dragging with it the gallant sailor, who disappeared from the sight of all on shore. To their great astonishment, however, he was in some minutes again seen close to the shore walking stoutly on the sand, but a terrific wave overtook him and swept him again amongst the surging billows. Again he managed to regain his feet, and a man with a rope round his waist, the end of which was retained by those on shore, made desperate but fruitless efforts to reach the brave mariner, who had by this time nearly succeeded in gaining the shore, when a second wave, far more terrific than the former one, and which appeared as if specially sent for the purpose, swept him off his feet, and he was no more seen until picked up in some hours afterwards a lifeless corpse amongst the rocks near the shore. One of the ill-fated crew was picked up with the life scarcely in him. and removed to the house of Mr. Scallins, where he was treated with every kindness, and was placed under the care of a medical man, under whose treatment he rallied a little, but sank again, and died at 10 o'clock th e same night, as was supposed, the effects of severe internal injuries. Two other bodies came on shore in the course of the next day ; but the fifth had not be found up to late on Saturday evening. The deceased men were all supposed to be Welch. Their clothes had either been washed off by the fury of the tempest, or torn off by the cords with which they had been lashed to the masts for so many hours. The ill-fated vessel was laden with coal, and went to pieces in the course of the next day. Lieut. Forbes, with the men of the coast guard, were most active in preserving such property as could be found, as well as in looking after the bodies, in which duty they received most efficient aid from Mr. Jones and the constabulary force in the neighbourhood. An in quest was to have been held upon the bodies on Saturday by Mr. Hudson of Arklow. At about 6 o'clock A.M., another vessel went on shore within a mile of the spot on which the last-named unfortunate vessel was wrecked. She was a brig called the Betsy of Maryport, and was coal laden. In less than half an hour after she struck, her masts went overboard, and her bottom commenced breaking up. The crew managed to get on shore ; but the master, a man of 67 years of age, was being carried off by the water when his son jumped in and brought him safely to the shore. The crew were taken to the farm-house of Mr. GraVes, near Kilcoole, where they received every at tention and comfort requisite to men in their destitute position. _ _ Much about the same hour a third wreck took place upon Bray Head. The vessel was named the New Valiant, of Portmaddock, South Wales, and was laden with grain. She came ashore without a crew, and with her mast cut away, and she broke up with the next high tide. No intelligence could be gained as to the fate of her crew. The gale was also severely felt on the coast to the north of Dublin. At about ten o'clock on Thursday night a sloop, called the Grace and Ann, of Strangford, James Higgins master, was cast ashore at ).>kerries. She was laden with coals from Whitehaven, and was bound to Strangford. The crew all escaped, and it is hoped that the vessel may be got off when the present gales moderate. A brig, name unknown went ashore at Balbriggan Pier on Friday night, between 11 and twelve o'clock • the vessel became a total wreck, but the crew were enabled to reach the shore in safety, owing to the exertions of the coast guard. A large Prussian barque also went on shore at Drogheda bar, between 11 and 12 o'clock on Thursday night, the crew, 17, in number, were drowned, with the exception of the cap tain and one man, who managed to reach the shore on a piece of the wreck, and were picked up by the lighthoe keeper. The cargo, which was a general one, strewed the shore from the mouth of the Boyne to the Be tty town strand, but was preserved in a great measure by the exertions of the coast-guard. The vessel, it is Eup posed, was proceeding from Rio Janeiro from some port in Scotland at the time the disastrous occur:•ence took place. AN EMPEROR'S BILLS.-It is expected that some bills of considerable importance will be presented to the Frencl Senate by the new Emperor, soon after he shall have been invested with the purple —or the motley, should that wea be judged preferable. The bills will first be laid before Mks Imperial Majesty by certain goldsmith, jewellers, and sau sage-makers. They will, it is understood, be submitted to) the Senate simply to be discharged ; and the general opinion is, that they will constitute the principal legislation with which that assembly is likely to be troubled.—Punch.

Rowley, Esq., of the Indian Walk Estate, Tobago, dated April 1852, to Professor Holloway :—Sir,—l deem it a duty I owe to you and the public at large, to inform you of a most miraculous recovery from that dreadful disease " dropsy," and which, under God, was effected by the use of your pills. I was tapped five times in the course of eight months, and skilfully treated by two medical practitioners. Notwithstanding which I got worse, and my strength failed so much as to leave no hopes of re covery. I then tried your pills, which in six months perfectly cured me.—Sold by all druggists, and at Pro fessor Holloway's establishment, 244, Strand, London. CASE OF FORGERY AND SWINDLING.—CHELTENHAM._ A dashing, good-looking young fellow, of military car riage, and aristocratic appearance, and who, it is believed, belongs to a respectable family, but has fallen into bad company, was onWednesday committed by the local ma gistrates for trial at the next Gloucestershi e assizes, on a charge of perjury and fraud. The prisoner arrived at Cheltenham a few weeks ago and took up his residence in lodgings at three guineas a week, in Landsdowne place, one of the most fashionable quarters of the town. He stated his name to be Edward Arnold, and repre sented that he was about to marry a heiress, and had come to Cheltenham to prepare for her reception. He accordingly favoured the tradesmen with orders for valu able articles, music, a pianoforte, stationery, and wed ding cards. r PRICES OF SHARES. IN BANKS, ASSURANCE, AND OTHER COM PANIES' STOCK.
