I talk on all anticipate from the present bed aspect of affairs that in future ebabied agricultural c u meetl tuarnald , without and the societies topics which con- cern them fully and frankly, touch upon any point of political appearing With reference to this society , position in the general progress do not see why the district it comprises may not t a k, advanced have mentioned the symptoms it exhibits improved management of the soil. I believe there ar class—landlords, tenants, statesmen, largee in ta every small farmers—very many who give an observant and enlightened attention to the business tb which they have to do; I believe there is a hardy w and spirited peasantry. I have had opportunities of witnessing their athletic prowess in their games and wrestling, which I must say, when properly pursued, and not in a gambling or dissipated spirit, seem to me well deserving of encouragement; but, what is of more importance, I believe there is in very many in stnnces a desire and a care for good education, and with such materials, physical as well as moral to work upon and to work with, I do not see why Cumber land, long preeminent above the English counties for the beauties of her natural scenery, her rich gar niture of lakes, and her sublime extent of mountains, should not be equally conspicuous in all the attributes of successful agriculture and creditable citizenship— (Cheers) —and in this hope I beg you now to drink to the " Success of the East Cumberland Agricultural Society."—(Cheers.) After several other toasts had been disposed of, coofnactehrle,le'reoyofuh(nCiwcthhrileyice.r s The Earl of CARLISLE, in a few sentence, gave the " Health of Mr. Aglionby, M.P., for Cockermouth." —(Cheers.) They were glad to see him still occu pying the situation he had so long and so honourably filt a a.—.4f a aaricheqa-) Mr. AGLIONBT, in responding to the toast, advised farmers to turn their attention more particularly to the improving of the breed of stock. He adverted to the improved condition of the people generally, and expressed his belief that this year as well as suc ceeding ones would be prosperous as regarded the agriculturists and all other classes of the community. Sir J. GRAHAM.—I have the chairman's permission to propose another toast. I fully concur with the ob servation which has been made, that it is most honour able to the tenant-farmers of this division of the county that in fair open competition with large landed pro prietors they have succeeded in carrying off a great majority of the prizes.—(Cheers.) I am decidedly of opinion that meetings of this kind are very useful, and I will illustrate that remark by what has occurred this evening. Last year, with the view of trying an experiment, I offered a priza for the best crop of wheat out of lea. It is notorious that in the south the best crop of wheat is always raised after clover lea. N o w here is the value of well-attested expe riments. T here is nothin g so fall acious as laying downa pr inciple universally applicable to agricul ture all parts of the country, when we know the difference that exists as regards climate, soil, and local circumstances. As for a system of cultiva tion it is not possible to lay down general rules; but I was anxious to ascertain whether there was not some local prejudice existing in regard to the raising , of wheat after lea. I had, as it has been stated to night, a particular object in giving the premium re ferred to. With reference to .our climate and other circumstances I will not say more than that the growth of wheat to a n extent which is not necessary to the fair rotation of cro p s even on the best land is no longer desirable; but it is desirable from the nature of the demand for all kinds of stock to enlarge the quantity of land in permanent grass, and to in crease the number of sheep and cattle generally. You cannot lay down your land with seeds advantageously with a crop of wheat. It is desirable that you should rather lay it down with oats. If it were possible to break no with wheat instead of laying it down with wheat, beneficial results would be obtained. The opinion of the judges, however, is decisive against the practice of breaking up land with wheat in this district, and I am bound to say that the experiment having been tried by farmers of the utmost skill on my own estate without weep, I take that as a proof that this mode of cultivation is not suited to this dis trict. I spoke to my friend sitting on my left (Mr. Aglionby), and he tells me that in Surrey he farms on land of very inferior quality, and raises his best crop of wheat after lea on a chalk subsoil. The dryness of the subsoil, probably, accounts for his success. Again, the climate of Surrey is widely different from that of our district; and when it is spoken of as improbable that a great wheat crop can be grown on Penrith Fell, I say I never wish to see wheat again grown on that district. I think that every encouragement should be given to agriculturists to raise on the smallest quantity of land the greatest possible quantity of produce. The cultivation of green crops, the extension of grass, and the use of sheep, are directly conducive to this end.—(Cheers.) I cannot in adequate terms express my gratitude to the tenant-farmers of this district. They have strug gled against immense difficulties in the noblest spirit, not only of enterprise, but of patient endurance, and have continued to hope even against hope.—(Cheers.) They have performed prodigies of late years. I say it in no spirit of boasting, but I will tell you that when I began the management of my property I let on improving leases for nineteen years. By the will of Providence I have twice renewed these leases; I renewed them for 14 years in 1842, and now I am again renewing them for a fresh period of 14 years. On a large portion of my property I have within the last six months renewed for 14 years, and I state it, not with pride as regards myself, but in a spirit of heartfelt gratitude to my tenants, that not withstanding all the difficulties they and I have had to encounter, I have not changed any considerable portion of my tenantry on any of those three occa sions; and on the last one there has been no change. Considering all the circumstances—all the difficulties of the tenant-farmers—l say they are a high-spirited body of men—a noble-minded body of men, banded together for the purpose of successfully exerting their industry. It is skilled industry, too, for in this part of the country the tenantry are not only educated, but intelligent, and landlords may well be proud of such a body of men.—(Cheers.) The Right Hon. Gentleman concluded by proposing "The Tenant farmers." Mr. Griancaes acknowledged the toast. The Earl of CARLISLE then gave "The Royal English Agricultural Society." He was gratified to find that there was a prospect of the Royal Society holding one of their meetings at Carlisle at an early date.—(Cheers.) After several other toasts had been duly honoured, Sir J. GRAHAM stated that, with the permission of the society, he had to offer for next year, a pre mium of 101. for the best-managed farm in this dis trict, subject to the decision of the committee of management.—(Cheers.) The VICE-CHAIRMAN (Mr. Richard Ferguson) had to offer 151. to be divided into premiums for the best poultry. The prizes to be competed for in April next. The Earl of CARLISLE said that, as giving pre miums seemed to be the order of the evening, he begged to say that next year he would give a pre mium of 101. for the best general stock in the hands of any owner.—(Loud applause.) The company then broke up. EAST CUMBERLAND AGRICULTURAL SHOW. CARLISLE, SATURDAY. —This day the annual show of this society took place in the yard of Carlisle Castle. After the exhibition a numerous company dined at the Coffee-house. The Earl of Carlisle was in the chair, and among those present, we observed Sir J. Graham, Mr. C. Howard, M.P., Mr. Aglionby, M.P., Mr. Ferguson, M.P., the Hon. Petro, Mr. Howard, of Couly Castle ; Mr. How ard, of Grey• stoke; the High Sheriff of the county, Colonel Mac lean, Mr. Ferguson, of Hanker Mr. Fawcett, of Scaleby Castle, &c. After the usual loyal toaste had been disposed of, The Earl of CARLISLE rose and said—The next toast upon my list is the toast of "The Army and Navy," and in giving it to you I feel that it would be impossible to refer to the martial service of the country, especially of the army, without our thoughts reverting to the name which has in numberless in stances been associated with it, and to the memory of him who at the beginning of this week was its chief, and who shall to all succeeding time be its pride, its model, and its inspiration.—(Loud cheers.) Gen tlemen, this occasion is not one on which to dwell upon a theme of sorrow.—(Hear.) I unaffectedly feel that I am not the person to delineate the services or the conduct of the Duke of Wellington.—(Cheers.) This has already been done to a great extent by the press of this country in a manner which, I must say, amid all our deep and just regret, makes us feel proud, as Englishmen, that he whose loss we deplore should have been so well understood and so thoroughly ap preciated.—(Loud cheers.) This country has been taught, by its own history, to associate the deaths of its foremost heroes with the culminating hour of victory—With Wolfe expiring tinder the ramparts of Quebec—with Nelson falling on the decks of Tidal gar.—(Loud and continued cheering.) But, gentle men, while in the number and difficulty of his achieve ments the Duke of Wellington far outshone those commanders, by the death of one of whom we received the dominion of a continent, and of the other that of the sea, I feel that there is something still more in keeping with his steady, even, and unclouded career, that he should have sunk to death gently and noise lessly.—(Cheers.) It was not in the battle—no tempest gave the shock—but a nation which he had made greater far than it ever was before—seemed bathed in the summer sunshine of peace and pros perity, and Sovereign and people alike, who had grown familiar with his mellowing greatness, without losing anything of the veneration which attached to it, will have marked the close of his long, bright, and glorious day with undisturbed regret and unalloyed affection.—(Loud cheers.) I beg to give you the " Army and Navy," requesting that for once it may be drunk in silence, and coupled with " the Immortal Memory of the Duke of Wellington." Colonel MACLEAN responded to the toast. " The County and Members" having been given and responded to, The Earl of CARLISLE rose to propose " The Members for the city of Carlisle." He said, lam particularly happy to give you a toast so congenial to my feelings. With respect to one of the Members who has now been returned for the first time to Par liament, I have not had with him the honour of a long personal acquaintance, but I know the esteem in which he is held among his fellow-citizens—(Cheers)—and in raising him to that distinguished post they have not only given him a high trust to discharge, but also a most gratifying attestation of his own upright and honourable c haracter.—(Cheers.) With respect to my Right lion. Friend now sitting at my left, I have had the pleasure of a much longer ac quaintance, and without upon an occasion of this kind re-awakening any topics of party excitement or of political difference, which are so wisely excluded by the laws of our proceedings— (Hear) —I trust I may yet be allowed to remark that it is a source of great gratification to the city that talents so eminent and services so distinguished should be fully recognised on his own native soil—(Loud and continued cheering) —or, in a word, that Car lisle and Cumberland have got their own again.— (Laughter, and loud applause.) And, as I have already said, without infringing upon subjects from which we are debarred by the laws of our meetings, and which would not, indeed, be appropriate to their especial purpose, yet, with reference to this, for a special purpose, I am at least warranted in remarking that among Ell meetings of agriculturists Sir J. Graham ought to be held in due honour, because he has devoted, at different periods of life, that clearness, that grasp of mind, which has been much exercised on other subjects, to the science and practice of Agri • culture.— (Loud cheers.) No one, I feel assured, is better enabled to offer you useful advice and useful suggestions, and no one has been able to reduce the theory of his art to fuller or more successful practice. --(Cheers.) From these combining motives lam sure you will drink with every mark of good feeling, respect, and congratulation—" The healths of the Members for the city of Carlisle, Sir James Graham and Mr. Ferguson."—(Protracted cheering). Sir J. GRAHAM—I am afraid that on every ground I must claim seniority on this occasion, and as the senior member for Carlisle I beg to return you thanks. My Noble Friend in the chair has justly observed that the institutions of this society strictly forbid anything approaching a political character being given to it, and I certainly, having the success of the society most anxiously at heart, would grieve if one word fell from me in violation of the most salutary rule in question. I trust, however, I may be permitted to express my intimate conviction that while the prosperity of agri culture, and the consequent activity of the home market, form a most important element of the trade and commerce of this country, so, on the other hand, one of the most certain causes of agricultural prosperity is to be found in the extension of trade and manufactures. Being intimately persuaded of the truth of this great principle, I cannot help rejoicing that this city, with which I am connected by so many ties of gratitude and recollection, does in itself embody in its re p resentatives this prin ci p l e at the present mo ment. Trade and land were united in the representation of Carlisle, and I trust that their interests will be faithfully advocated by my Hon. Colleague and myself. My Noble Friend has told you that I have paid much attention not to the theory alone, but the practice, of the noble science of agriculture. True it is that I have at various times gladly returned to this delightful occupation, and I must say that with advancing age my taste for other amusements grows colder, and my love for this parti cular occupation, and my attention to my home farm, with its interesting details, gains ground day by day, until the cultivation of my native soil has become an object most dear to me.—(Cheers.) It is not for me on this occasion to give advice respecting the culti vation of the soil. I see immedtately before and around me some of the most experienced agriculturists of this district. The vice-chairman is generally ac knowledged to be a great master of the art.—(Hear, hear.) There is no part of England which has been so successfully improved as that large district lying between my residence and Carlisle which is in Mr. Ferguson's occupation. If I refer to draining I shall touch on a subject about which there is no difference of opinion among agriculturists. I could not take a better mode of stating what are the sound principles on which this important operation should be conducted than by adopting, almost word for word, a speech lately delivered at Appleby by the Lord-Lieutenant of the county, which I read in the newspapers. lam more and more convinced that in our wet climate, without draining, there can be no success in agriculture. I have bought experience on this head, as older agriculturists have done. I began with the notion that for surface draining it was not necessary to go deep. This error has been demon strated, and it is now recognised that, speaking gene rally, deeper draining is more effective. Then I thought that three feet draining was sufficient. Sub sequent experience , however, has shown me that drains three and a half feet, at greater distance, and therefore not more expensive, are much more effec tual.—(Cheers.) I now pass to the great question of stock. I was delighted to observe in the show. yard the improvement made in that description of stock which will be found most remunerative and most conducive to the advantage of this particular neighbourhood—l mean sheep. It would be difficult to find better sheep than were shown in the Castle-yard this day. lam bound to say, however, that the kn. provement in other descriptions of stock has not kept pace with that of sheep. In the district of Penrith and the banks of the Eden the short-horns are supe rior to those produced in the northern part of the county. I wish more attention could be paid t o t h e breed of short-horns.—(Cheers.) The Galloway stock shown to-day was generally good, and it is a breed well adapted to a district which is exposed to great vicissitudes of climate; but on good land the short-horns are better.—(Cheers.) If it were only for the purpose of crossing with the Galloway, it is desirable to have more short-horned bulls in this dis trict. There is another subject to which I will take this opportunity of adverting. It is clear to me that the potato is becoming a more delicate plant than it was, and that every year its cultivation is more pre carious.—(Hear, hear.) If this be true, it is desirable to find some other crop more profitable and more cer- Wu. You may, perhaps, think me prejudiced in what I am about to say ; and, indeed, in these matters we are more or less swayed by prejudice. Well, I have had some experiments tried with flax, and the results have satisfied n that it may be grown in this district with advantage and profit. 1 have tried it in several different, ways. I have tried it out of lea, without manure, on indifferent land; I have tried it out of lea on superior land; I have tried it after a course of turnips and potatoes ; I have tried it with guano and bones, and the result of these experiments has convinced me that the cheapest way of growing it is last ; namely, out of lea, without manure. — (Applause.) But, to effect this, it is necessary that the land should be dry, deeply ploughed, and in a condition free from weed. Now, observe—if you fulfil these conditions, flax is the best possible prepa ration for a green crop following. Several of my tenants also have this year tried the experiment of growing fliz. I will not trouble you with details ; it is sufficient to state that on a piece of poor land, let for only 103. an acre, the crop cost 4/. an acre, in eluding rent and all charges, and I am satisfied Could there be established in this neighb our h oo d so me ma chinery for converting the straw o f flax, after the that it is worth from 101. to 15/. per acre . grain is out, into the raw material of manufacture, the happiest results might be anticipated to flow from it. This would furnish another illustration of the principle that the union of manufacturing skill and capital with agricultural skill and capital is the sure foundation of the prpsperity of both.—(Cheers.) It is the foundation °ollie prosperity of this city of Car lisle. A. large proportion of the shopkeepers here are dependent on the prospdrity of the landed interest, and their interest is •so intimately blended with that of agriculture that they feel and suffer from its decay. At the same time, the prosperity of the manufacturing interest is reflected on the land , and if, as I am happy to know td be *the caee, there are ma ny perso ns in introducing new Welfare _of the l t ma h na i this dn neighbourhood trhsei stuirsaas a freshauiudsvet e s r desirous of t toi n 2fe a limited extent, of the principle of the union of the two cl asses w hich will be found in the long run the sure foundation of the prosperity of our native country...— (Applause.) I would here have closed my address, were it not for something which fell from my Noble F r i en d the chairman. Ido not think it possible that there can be a convivial meeting assembled in any part of the United Kingdom at this moment in which thoughts of a melancholy description will not arise in every breast. My Noble Friend alluded to a f ac t w hi c h strikes us all—that the foremost man of the world lies dead and unburied at this moment. Among all my recollections I am bound to say that I deem it one of the highest honours of my public life to have asso ciated in council with that noble individual. —(Much applause.) That eye whose glance " kept the world in awe," has lost its lustre. " Take him for all in all, We ne'er shall look upon his like again." —(Cheers.) .1 am satisfied that, although the grati tude of the country has lasted during the life of this eminent Passing generation eelywhi il eu idiv w i i d ll u m al, ar i k t is notgratitude its ths i to him. My Noble Friend dwelt with much truth on the extraordinary ability displayed by the daily press, and its unanimity— its honourable unanimity—in commenting on the cha racter and excellence of the great man. He does indeed owe much to the press, but it is not to the passing eulogiums of the daily press he must look for the maintenance of his future fame. The Duke of Wel lington has fortunately left, through th e me di um o f the press, an undying memorial of the manner i n which Powers, and of the ho nourable me , c d r e ie i s u d wh h i i e s grhhee rose to fa me . I n t h ose at dispatches, written on the moat confid en ti a l inter course with all persons with whom it was hi s d uty to h e exercised communicate, from the humblest officer to the greatest sovereign, it will be a noble study to trace how he achieved his great success. It will there be found that it was by devotion to his country—by never ceasing patriotism—by self-denial with reference to all passing views of personal interest and exaltation. Love of duty and love of country were the loadstones by which he guided his course, and my noble friend has truly said that he has left to the military profession a great example, and to all who take part in public affairs a lesson not less striking and worthy of imita tion.—(Cheers.) Patriotism and love of duty para mount to every consideration made Wellington what he was. That example at a distance, in my bumble sphere, it shall be my duty and desire to follow.

TIME S.—The death of such a man as the Great Duke will necessarily compel the country, in the dis tribution of his offices, to more than one step down wards from the sublime. An example, indeed, has already been given in the announcement made with such apparent complacency by a Ministerial print, that the " Might Honourable William Beresford" now provisionally fills, in the eyes of Europe, the post oc cupied by Arthur Wellesley at the head of the British army. The misfortune, however, of this con trast was inevitable. In such cases consti:utional precedent forms the only rule of action, and no other arrangement was practicable. But, as the " func• tions appertaining to the office" in question will not be imposed for many days upon the " Secretary at War," and as the appointment itself is of the very highest consequence, the attention of the public is naturally arrested by the current speculations upon its disposal. On this point we believe we can both express and justify the general opinion of the country. In the distribution of high State offices there are tw o me th o d s of proceeding —one by the o ru e o f competence, and the ot h er by the prerogative f l rank. Some appointments are of such a de scription as to admit of no hesitation between these two alternatives. must, in the prasenta d met C le' Ministers, for instance, ac tually what they the most part ay, be for erofess to be—personally able, personally active, and ersonally responsible for their conduct. First Lords of the Treasury and Chan cellors of the Exchequer must be in genuine reality the fittest men, according to the views of Parliamens, for the discharge of their respective duties without the delegation or transfer. On other ad hand, there are posts of high dignity and Con which require no professional, considerable attraction nr even intellectual competence, and which may follow Court favour or exalted lineage without any p ublic d etriment. o In j certain cases, however, an appointment en uch dis tinction as to render it an object even of princely a ambi tion, and at the same time involves duties of o relative or contingent magnitude as may be nl d y ee s tieedhwithin the sphere of ordinary or untrained capacitie s . This presumptively is the case with the Commander ship-in-Chief of her Majesty's Forces. So efficient and well-organized is the department of the Horse Guards, that for the ordinary routine of times of peace a working head may be thought not required, and, even if sterner exigencies should arise, such un bounded aid would be at immediate command that nothing would be actually lost to the country. All, in short, that could be gained by putting a good soldier at the head of the army, in person, would be gained equally by making this soldier the coadjutor of a less active commander, so that the needs of the public service and the desires of princely houses might be satisfied at one and the same time. The system of proceeding thus described is not without advocates at the present moment, and it would be useless affecta tion to omit stating that his Royal Highness Prince Albert and his Royal Highness the Duke of Cam bridge have both been spoken of for the Comman dership-in-Chief of the army. We will plainly re capitulate the reasons which convict such views of great impolicy, and which conclusively prove that the office should be considered a reality, and practically filled. In the first place, and above all, the Com mandership-in-Chief of the British Forces is not, and never can be, an appointment of less actual importance than any other Ministerial post. The colonial duties of our army communicate to its ser vice what may be almost termed a standing character of war, and, in point of fact, at this very moment of presumptive " peace " we are marching in force upon the capital of a great eastern empire. But, indepen dently of these conditions, there exist administrative duties of the most serious description to occupy the thoughts of a Commander-in-Chief. The science of war and the devices of armament have lately made enormous strides—so enormous, indeed, as to have left us, it is said, considerably in arrear of more military States. All these alleged improvements have now to be investigated, and, if desirable, to be introduced ; nor need we be at the pains of proving that questions must daily arise for the decision of the very ablest soldier which the country can furnish. Moreover, we have recently been induced to take thought for the protection of our proper coasts, and every Gazette gives evidence of the efficiency and availability which it is now sought to impart to the internal resources of the kingdom. Would it not, then, be the very height of inconsistency; when we are raising the militia, and stipulating for the thorough effectiveness of every adjutant and drill-sergeant, to treat the chief command of the army as a duty which might be discharged by deputy or left to devolve upon rank alone ? If it is answered that on each and all of these points the services of the best soldier in the land would be still equally avail able, whether he were or were not in nominal occu pation of the post in question, we are brought at once to a second argument even more conclusive, if pos sible, than that specified above. The English people do not desire a sham, and least of all a sham which would cost some thousands a-year. If it be indeed true that the Commandership-in-Chief is an appoint ment of such a character that all immediate personal competence may be dispensed with in its occupants, the inference plainly is not that such occupants should be accepted, but that the post itself should be added to those " suppressed great offices of state" which historical manuals record. Of two things one : Either the place is of true importance, and should be worthily filled; or it is of no importance, and may be abolished altogether. We need scarcely say that the former is the only sound conclusion, and it is an additional reason, indeed, against choosing a commander by courtesy, that no personage gratified with this distinction is likely to remain as inactive or as controllable as his supporters would presume. The Commander-in-Chief, we may be perfectly assured, will exercise the powers of his office, and it impera tively concerns, th e refore, the public service that those powers should be lodged in none but the most really competent hands. Wellington's victories have done much, indeed, for the national honour, but even they have not yet obliterated the doings of the last Commander-in-Chief appointed on the score of birth. Of all things in the world, war is the last which will bear such tamperings with duty, and the practical English nation ought surely to be the last to act un practically in a case at once so plain and so urgent. If the reader desires any reason more convincing than these we think we can furnish one yet. At such a moment as this the consideration which should prevail in all quarters against all others is the opinion, if it could be known, of that great com mander who now lies dead ; for on no single point could the advice so often sought be m o r e competently given. And this we may say without hesitation, that not only did the Duke notoriously en tertain such general sentiments as have been expressed above, but on an occasion when his advice was actu ally required the appointment was made co n f orma bl y . When the Duke was Prime Minister, Lord Hill was named Commander-in-Chief, and it was his Grace's known opinion that the office should never be made a mere appendage of exalted rank , _ but should always be conferred, like any other office of military import ance, on a veteran soldier. To such qualifications the Prince Consort, with all his accomplishme_nts, o ,ca c e a e m : of course, pretend ; and, though the Duke . t Cam bridge is a soldier, and rvices se a good one too, his are not such as t mention would entitle him even o were his extraction less illustrious ; nor can they possibly place him on a level with the We svould rather rades of the great Duke himself. actual com avoid personal specifications in certainly not saying intend for . a general argument ; but we are what we Hilt was to too much in observing that what Lord e is to Lord the Duke of Wellington, Lord Harding d b s ay expecte y the Hill. In any case it is earne _ d of the British army will be public that the command British soldier ; and when it given to an experiendee what a comparison even the is considered, indheseve to bear, we really think that best of these will l ess approved comp et i tors might forego, in their own interests , th e onerous ambition of succeeding to Arthur Wellesley .1. funeral obsequies of the late _ Duke of VV elg t i n ton will form one of the most mag nificent and im p ressive of public ceremonies, Al ready popu lar is the anxiety aroused as to the man ner of the celebration, and human ingenuity eagerly endeavouring to render the outward manifestation worthy of the inward sentiment of sorrow and esteem. The occasion must be great and solemn that demands the general lamentation of the English people, and all-important must be the services of the man, and sincere the veneration for his character, whose sudden passing away from amongst us can cause universal affliction and regret. Such is the mourning that bends over the tomb about to receive the mortal re mains of England's greatest hero. The lives of its illustrious citizens is the vitality of the commonwealth, and the decease of its chief ornament robs it of one of the brightest portions of its existence. At an honoured and advanced age, in the harvest-field of life, rich in the fruition of noble performance, when time could barely claim a further respite, has the common enemy of mankind, with whom the hero had stood face to face on Many a well-contested field, at length prevailed against The grey haired old man, the very impersonation of un challenged honour and inflexible duty, • will no more thread the crowds that watched for his approach to greet him with enthusiastic acclamations ; but his When due. Zie -c - 4 ,? . p , p z „ spirit remains a guest at every hearth, and will kin dle patriotic aspirations in many an honest heart. Two of the most celebrated men in the chronicles of modern times were born in th 3 same year. Both were renowned warriors and eminently-gifted states men, smring far above all contemporaries, engrossing the wonder and the attention of mankind, and filling the universe with the fame of their achievements; the one the mighty c onqueror, the other the hi g h- sou l e d deliverer. The course of one erratic and destructtve as the career of the thunderbolt; that of the other temperate and benevolent, like a portion of the majes tic order of the world ; the one the scourge, the other the refuge of the nations. The former died at a comparatively early age, the barren sceptre at which he grasped shivered and reft from him ; the latter going down to the grave crowned with years and honours, amid the peace and security he had so largely and so importantly contributed to establish. The former, endeavouring to stretch the boundaries of his country to the vain measure of his ambition, resigned them to be portioned out by strangers; the latter, seeking solely to maintain the integrity of his native land, left it with widely-in creased territories awl the inheritor of a liberty as glorious as its dominion. The sward of Wellington was the shield of his country ; it had no stain of self upon it to tarnish the richness o its temper; in his hand it was not a brand, but a buckler. It is no mean boast for a commander never to have lost a battle ; it is au infinitely more desirable reputition to acquire never to have drawn the sword save in a righ teous cause. now deep the moral of lives such as those of these two warriors. Will not history erect their names as imperishable monuments of glory ? The one the =certain glare of the short-lived and unstable emotion ; the other the sun-like effulgence of the genuine inspiration. Napoleon may live in the wonder, or even in the admiration of mankind ; IVellingtou is enshrined in their gratitude and em balmed in their affections. In him the state has lost its protector and counsellor, its best servant, and most faithful friend. " time and tide Have washed away, like weeds upon the sands, Crowds of the olden life's memorials." REGISTRATION. MIDDLESEX. On Saturday Mr. Launcelot Shadwell, the barris ter appointed to revise the list of voters for the county of Middlesex, held a court at the New Black Dog, Bedfont. The day's revision included the parishes of Ashford, Bedfont, Cranford, Feitham, Hampton, Hampton-wick, Hanswortb, Harmondsworth, Sale ham, Littleton, Shepperton, Staines, Stanmore, Sun bury, and Teddington. The fact that, at the sitting of the court at Brent ford, the Baron de Rothschild and his three brothels were struck off the register, has created some sensa tion in the Liberal ranks, more particularly at H am " mersmith district, where there will be a severe strug gle between the contending parties. The names o f the Baron and hi s family were objected to by argued M r . Alley Jones, the Conservative agent , that in the qua lifi cat i on state d i n the register there was an impo r t an t omission. It is stated to be a rent charge, b u t it s h ou ld h ave w ho sta t e d also to have been " in fee." The R EVISING BARRISTER concurred in this view. N a mes expunged.

Wallace, the proprietor of the for libel, the defendant Ang at the head police officethe pro s ecution io. attended before the magistrates to-day, to put in bail for his appearance in the Court of Queen's Bench on the first day of next term. Mr. Hayes (law adviser to the Crown), appeared as counsel with Mr. Rae, on the part of Mr. Kemmiss, Crown solicitor, for the prosecution. Mr. Dowse, barrister, with Mr. Matthew Tully, solicitor, appeared for Mr. Wallace. The informations of Lieut.-Colonel Staunton, Captain Eager, and Lieut. Hutton, of the 31st Regiment, were read out by Mr. Porter. They set forth the circumstances relative to the affair at Sixmile-bridge, and denying that the party of the 31st had committed wilful murder on that occasion, or had slaughtered the people without provocation. They also charged as wickedly false and untrue the allegation contained in the alleged libel that the 31st Regiment had ever been guilty of cowardice, or had lost their facings ; but that, on the contrary, they had ever exhibited the utmost gallantry. Mr. Dowse, on the part of the defendant, having declined to cross. examine the witnesses, Mr. Wallace was called upon to enter into security, himself in 2001., and two sure ties in 1001. each. Dr. Gray . and Mr. Matthew Tully, solicitor, became securities i n the sum require d, and the recogniz abeea h av i ng been perfected the parties left the office. __------ IMPUDENT REPRESENTATION OF THE EX-PREMIER. — On Saturday information was forwarded. to the inetropoli. lan police-stations of the following audacious and impudent imposition practised on a great number of highlyrespectable tradesmen at the West-end, by a fellow representing himself as Lord John Russell, the ex-Premier. The individual in question, who decidedly bears a very strong resemblance to his Lordship, cal led a fe w days since on the proprietor of an extensive establishment in Pimlico, and requested that a tilbury should be immediately prepared for him to proceed to the Barracks at Hounslow, to see his nephew, who he mid belonged to the Bth Dragoons. Having stated himself to be n o other than Lord John Russell, the tilbury was placed at low.isposal, and ivas driven off in the direction of Houns- During the journey . be several times ordered the ser vant to pull up various establishments in Kensington, and, again making use of his former tale, obtained sundry sums of money and divers articles from the tradesmen to a considerable amount. Arriving at Hounslow, the rogue dis missed the servant with the vehicle, and proceeded to the George Hotel, where, by the same means, he hired a post chaise, and went on to Windsor, where he asked the servant for a little money, if he had any. The unfortunate dupe gave him all he possessed, being about 31. 145., and he went off, saying he should soon return and drive back to Hoene , low. It is almost needless to say that nothiDg has since been Peen or heard of the imposter. " His remembrance Lives in men's eyes; and will to ears and tongues Be theme and hearing ever." The ancients raised their deceased heroes to the imagined dignity of gods ; as Christians, we will pre serve Wellington alive in our bosoms, and make him a monitor and an enduring remembrance. The Duke was fortunate enough to have outlived all the petty animosities of party, and the unjust prejudices of triOte,,_ who knew him not, or misunderstood his charactor) and surely be can scarcely be said to have died too early who had attained universal appreciation and devotion. The happiness of the nation will be greater or less in proportion to the number of those who en deavour to follow, no matter how humbly or at what distance, provided it be with earnest sincerity, his example, and who strive never to forget that his actions were guided by his motive that we do not live for ourselves alone, but that the conduct of our lives must be regulated by a due consideration of the duty we owe to our fellows. The career of the departed teaches that a strict adherence toduty can consolidate the only like incense from the tomb, delighting reputation that is permanent, the fame that ascends its fragrant exhalations ; - get in transcendent abilities the pure metal of un sullied that true patriotism, rectitude of purpose, And mankind. with ee n h u . rtured by the invigorat‘ng These qualities beget ster ling dews of sincerit y , eruption of an evanescent enthusiasm, a h s e lasm lo , fti c e o s n t su d m es i t n in g it: .fame — not the volcanic' sell by its own intensity; b u t kindled in every temperate, accumu lating, and imperishable glory, generous breast, and, though burning seen, in destructible. The tomb, in the commeunncur yet na ture, is about to close over the dust of the mightyose e of l lington ; but his knightly deeds, his chivalrous and perfect patriotism are immortalised in the memories of k his countrymen, and will descend to their remotest posterity. To the greater portion of his fellowmen be was personally unknown ; he spoke to them in his actions, and to these persons he is no more dead than be was when upon earth; in their thoughts he existed then, as he will continue to do henceforth. M any anisye that never caught one glimpse of the soldier like figure will be dimmed by grief, now that all hope of beholding him is extinguished ; many a heart that was never thrilled by the magic of his presence, or spell-bound by the oracular wisdom of his counsel, will be oppressed at his sudden removal. Yet he cannot be accounted dead, as common men die whose remembrance is buried with them; in his deeds he has begot a mightier life, which fills, like air, the universe of mind. No monument is needed, although many exist and more shall be raised, for a man thus enthroned in every heart. The affection of his com patriots is the worthiest temple for his fame. Like a " star disorbed," he has left a vacancy among the luminaries of the age which cannot be filled up. He scarcely had a predecessor, and we may look in vain for his successor. And what pen shall write his epitaph? His deeds have exhausted panegyric, and the eloquence of language feels its splendours eclipsed by their magnitude. The most expressive that can be engraved on his tomb is this , ARTHUR, DUKE OF WELLINGTON. These four words speak volumes ; and they alone eau adequately convey an idea of the immensity of his renown. The lapse of ages, that silently and imper ceptibly pours the waters of oblivion over the most cherished remembrances bequeathed to us by earth's toaster-spirits, may overwhelm a portion of the deeds of the illustrious Wellington; hut the majority defy annihilation, and they shall stand like high- placed watch-towers above the mists of the past, shedding a dazzling halo on the most distant hereafter. The history that enshrines a Wellington has one sure passport to all human posterity, which shall be recog nised when— 1. t of 2, PI ( :4 t, s'
