~~ ~.:. , . i ~. t i Sun Office, 7 o'clock THE SANITARY CONFERENCE. The Earl of ST. GERMAINS rose, according to :•,,t, H•i :.• -!, to put a question to her Majesty's Government :•ing the report and proceedings of the late Sanitary rence in Paris, for a copy o f w hi c h h e h a d i 4, ~ : 1 in the course of the l as t sess i on, b ut :1 had not y e t appeared. There was an impres •.i. abroad that persons interested in the maintenance i" , l i ,!-:,. quarantine system, had prevailed upon her Ma :'l , .. 3 present Ministers to recede from the position oc i• ; :i , -1 by their predec.. , ssors with respect ti) the question, 2 ll :,. instead of heading the onward movement, to fall ~ .; ~ -,;- upon the old restrictive regulations. He also .i : ',.

He also wished to know ',tl , : : , her there was any foundation for the report which had 4,A '•:,: •, red in the public papers of to-day, with . respect to 1 West India mail-packet having arrived with several -- , - .1.-•'s of yellow fever on board, and having been put in ,1, t fararitine. He - would wish to inquire, still farther, - 4, ::•• hat accommodation had been provided for the recep .l - ion of the unfortunate passengers, and whether, gene .' - 1 4 medical a tt e ndance was provided for per sons pu t - 0 . •1 qtlarantine. The Earl of IVIALMESBITRY said he was sorry that ,• , au negotiations were pending, to conclude a convention f i'LtSpecting quarantine regulations, he could not yet lay ,n the table the papers which the noble lord had asked. ?,, 'Or. Spain and Austria had as yet, refused to sign a con - veniion, but he believed that Russia, France, Portugal, ' , id Sardinia were ready to co-operate with h er Ma ." - . J esty's government for this purpose. The Earl of LONSDALE answered the second question `•' ~f the noble lord. lt had come to the knowledge of her s ''' ),lajc6ty's government that the cholera had broken out t. xith much malignancy at Dantzic, and it was thought !' nec=ssary to giv e di r e c ti ons t h at quarantine regulation 41tould be carried out with respect to ships arriving from hat quarter. With respect to the case of the West ~ i iidia ma il pac k et, the informotion alluded to had on -, :tc3ied h er M a j esty ' s government that morning by tele- Japh, and he (th e no bl e ear l) ha d " thought it best to des patch o r d ers f or t h e release of the passengers, and that medical att en d ance at once be despatched to the sick • ' pers , c.—. k Lc ii 4 6 STANLEY (of Alderley) said, he thought it ircely to be expected that her Majesty's govern it could conclude a convention with respect to the lition of the quarantine with foreign governments 11 they were enforcing quarantine regulations at Me with more stringency than ever. The Earl of MALMESBURY, on the part of her ajosty's government, repudiated any idea of obtaining total aboEttion of quarantine. After a few words from Lord WHARNCLIFFE, who o thought it a preposterous thing for her Majesty's ,verrinvint to expect to negotiate a modification of arantine regulations when their officers at home had t a viiaole shipfull or passengers in quarantine for two :,es of yellow fever, in the month of November. The subject dropped. RAILWAY LEGISLATION. Lord REDESDALE rose to ask the Vice-President tii,' Board of Trade, whether the Government intended bring in any measure for the better regulation of lway s, and also to call his attention to the nature of veral railway bills likely to he introduced this session.

WALTER presented a petition against the return Sjr .j ohn Mactaggart for Wigton Burghs. ,Ir CRAVEN BERKELEY presented a petition from solicitor named Williams, residing at Cheltenham, npLiaing of the manner in which Bills are printed ten they are passed. The hon. member moved that petition be referred to the printing committee of the mse of Commons, which was agreed to.. THE TURKISH LOAN. Dr. LAYARD' seeing the the Under-Secretary For , ign Affairs, in his place, he wished to ask him question of some interest to the commercial world, 1 of which he had given him notice. The Sublime had, through the Turkish Minister in Paris, re- Lliated or refused to ratify the advances which had m made by British capitalists to the Turkish Loan. , v, he (lid not wish to make any remark that was cal- Hltt , t! to encourage English capitalists to engage in ~,;,,t-jng upon foreign loans. (Order.) He wished 1. the noble lord this question, had any information res'eived by the Government on the subject of the - ; - nerit of the loan, and if any had, would the noble any objection to lay it on the table. (Hear, STANLEY said the government had received 'ormation on the subject, and they had watched le progress of the affair with much interest and (Hear, hear.) He.thought, however, that _;e would agree with him, that it was not expe -1 present to lay the papers before the house, as ated to a transaction which could not be said to t, terminated. (Hear, hear.) But he could state - words a g eneral outline of the case . It was Aen that th e TUrkish Minister who was charged T;lv% negotiation of the loan in question, deviated tr- the - itrstruetions of his own Government; and, in t,ic-;nence of that deviation, the act of the Minister i-I.__....v_ewed_by the Porte, and the loan was refused !"' At the same time, however, the Porte •lee's,ed that the deposits would be returned with in and from all the information he had received, he eve-.. 7 reason to believe that the matter would be satisfactory disposed of. (Hear.) MARITIME LAW. Vie. RICARDO wished to. ask the President of the trd of Trade; whether any dispatches have been .nsmitted to that department from the Foreign-office, :twining information or statistics bearing on the work ; of the Maritime Laws of the United Kingdom, and, 1 0. whether he will lay them on the table of the house; ), whether any inquiries on these subjects have been IT the Board of Trade of the British Consuls, •.! t the Foreign :office. iIENLEIT said, questions had been transmitted to ieh consuls abroad, requesting them to furnish infor t in a particular form ; and to those questions e f . , :v answers had been received ; but the answers related to the operation of the law in 1800, and not 851. Most of the answers merely conveyed opinions riot facts ; and it was remarkable that some of these ,tens took different views to others of the operation he law; but if the hon. gentleman wished it, there no objeCtion to produce them. (Cheers.) RAILWAY AMALGAMATION. Vr:ZABOUCHERE wished to ask the right hon. ° li•tionlan who had last addressed them a question . of 'ort:;lderabl e i mportance to the public. It would refer to 'R'e Wig of railway amalgamation which were ex ;t.A to come before the house at no distant period, the question he wished to ask was whether the , non. gentleman had given the subject his considera ••e, and whether he would be prepared at the proper t; e to recommend to the house the course which ap -e red to him to be the best calculated for the house to - orsue, in reference to the bills, with a view of giving !le . public and the parties concerned that protection •'hith they both desired? (Hear, hear.) 4r. LINLEY said the question which the right hon. - aittensn had put to him could hardly be overrated iu • :iiporta:rice. (Hear, hear.) He had had no oppor s.-,ity, nor had the d e p ar t men t to which he was con ,etedi of considering the details of these amalgamation except that which was open to the public at That was the parliamentary notices published the Gazette, and it was quite clear from those notices hat lar4e schemes of railway amalgamation were con ;'„4:4)lat'',d.

HOUSE OF LORDS---(THIS EVENING.) Tt LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack 5 o'clock. The Marquis of CLANRICARDE gave notice that would put a question to the noble lord at the head of e Government, on Monday night, with respect to the rblie business to be introduced into this house before e adjournment. t. I' 0 :„: : fi THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 19 1 1852. 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 wayward, 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 monument it would be ; nobler than ever was displayed on tanner, or recorded by herald's devices, or scuiptered 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. 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. putting them in force with the sanction of the law. (Hear.) CONVOCATION. ' Sir J. V. SHELLY wished to ask the right hon. the Secretary of State for the Home Department a question relative to the sitting of Convocation. He understood the sitting was adjourned until February next, and he wished to know whether the sitting was to be resumed or forbidden ? (Hear, hear.) Mr. WALPOLE was obliged to the hon. gentleman for having put this question, because he thought a mis understanding had taken place with reference to the powers and conduct of Government as regarded Convo cation. (Hear, hear.) Perhaps the house would there fore allow him to state that the usual course observed with reference to Convocation was this : It's sit tings could be held accordingly to law until the ad dress was commenced without any interference of the goverment, and government could only interfere when the Convocation required to continue its sittings for the purpose of making canons or ordinances. A sit ting for that purpose could only take place with the sanction of the Crown, and no application had yet been made by the Archbishop of Canterbury for such permis sion. (Hear, hear.) From the commencement, it was never intended on the part of the -government to allow any deviation from the usual course with refer ence to the sitting of Convocation, and they had strictly and steadily adhered to that determination, and had taken no part whatever in the matter, nor could they, indeed, do so, unless the Convocation re quired the sanction of the Crown, for pursuing a differ ent course to that which had occurred on previous occa sions. (Cheers.) In the present instance, the only de viation that had occurred was that the address had been debatrd three days instead of one, and a com mittee had been appointed on the subject, but the Government had nothing whatever to do with that siatter. (Hear, hear.) The question of prorogation had not yet arisen, and it could not arise until the question of the address had been answered, but he could assure the house, that so long as he had the power of holding the office of Secretary of State for the Home Department, nothing should induce him to recom mend the Crown to grant its license to Convocation to make canons. He had never made this declaration until he was called upon to pronounce it, but he made the declara tion now most heartily,because he entertained the strongest opinion -that nothing could be more detrimental to the Church of England, and nothinc , was more calculated to cause schisms in the Church than the revival of Convo iion. (Cheers.) COUNTY FRANCHISE. Mr. L. KING gave notice that on the 2d December he should move for leave to bring in a bill to make the qualification for county votes the same as that for boroughs. THE GOVERNMENT AMENDMENT TO MR. VILLIER'S MOTION. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, I beg to give nottce, sir, that on Tuesday, the 23d inst., on the motion of the hon member for Wolverhampton, I will move a resolution, by way of amendment, ex pressed in this language : " That this house acknowledges with satisfaction that the cheapness of provisions occasioned by recent legislation has mainly contributed to improve the condition and increase the comfort of the working classes, and that unrestricted competition having been adopted aftei due deliberation, as the principle of our commercial system, this house is of opinion that it is the duty of the government, unre servedly to adhere to that policy (loud ironical laughter from the opposition benches)—in these measures of financial and administrative reform, which under the circumstances of the country they may deem it their duty to introduce." (Laughter.) THE CAPE. _ _ Lord J. RUSSELL said the Secretary for the Colo nies, at the commencement of the session intimated to the House, that no very recent intelligence had been received from the Cape, but the last accounts were of a favourable nature, and gave hopes of the termination of hostilities in the colony. It appeared that more recent dispatches had since been received, and he, therefore, wished to inquire what was the character of those dispatches, and whether they confirmed the hopes which he previously held out. He perceived that some dissatisfaction was expressed by the colonists at the non-arrival of the constitution [for Cape ; and, perhaps the right hon. gentleman would give an explanation of the circumstances which had led to the delay. _ _ _ Sir J. PAKINGTON in answer to the first question, said, he was happy to state that the recentaccounts for the Cape, had very much, if not entirely confirmed the view which he took at the commencement of the session. General Cathcart, in a dispatch, dated about the 23d of September, said, he might now almost report, that the war is at en end, adding that, though it might be characterised as a war, it was in fact a rebellion, and that in order to suppress it was necessary to chastise and subdue the subjects of the re bellious leaders. This, he said, had been nearly accom plished by a military occupation of the country, though, he observed, it was difficult to say the exact time when peace would be restored. One of the principal Kaffir chiefs, hostile to British rule, Macomo had been expelled from the Waterkloof, and though he had not surren dered, he was lurking about...with only a very few fol lowers. Sandilli was also still in the Amatolas, but his followers were reduced to a very small number. The latest dispatches did not refer to him in any manner. In regard to the second question, the right. hon. gentle man entered inte an explanation, showing thet, though there was no indisposition on the part of the government to give free institutions to the Cape, the changes which had taken place in the Cape since the constitution was first promised, rendered it necessary for them to exercise great caution and deliberation ere they took so important a step. The franchise in the colony had been very much extended, so as to reach a portion of the po pulation who had been in rebellion against ' the Crown ; and, besides, befote the ordnance was sent out, the Government would have to decide whether the Orange River should be retained, what should 1.; the eastern boundary, - and whether the colonly should be divided into two governments, all of which matters bore , upon the... constitution. In addi tion to these difficulties, General Cathcart was engaged in prosecuting the war, and obviously in capable of devoting his attention to carrying out an ordnance at the present time. Under these circumstances, the governmeni thought it their duty to pause until they obtained further information, but were prepared to grant a free constitution when they believed it could be done with due regard to the interests of the colony and the duty of the crown. (Hear.) In reply to Lord J. RUSSELL, Sir J. PAKINGTON said there was no reservation for altering the original constitution. He had no objec tion to lay the papers on the table. CONSOLIDATED ANNUITIES. In answer to an hon. member, The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said _ he had an opportunity of laying his financial measures be fore the house, he would hale occasion to advert to the consolidated annuities charged to the .Poor Law Unions in Ireland, and he would reserve his opinion as to the remission, unfil then, since if he had not that opportunity his opinion on the subject would be of little importance. ( hter.) LAW REFORMS IN IRELAND. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL moved for leave to boing in a bill to amend the proceedure in the superior courts of common law ii Iral.nd, stating that it was his object to make these courts resemble as nearly as pos sible the English County Courts. This was a bold and comprehensive plan, and would enable these Courts to to give justice, cheaply and promptly. [LEFT SPEAKING.] COURSE OF EXCHANGE—Tara DAY. Amsterdam ............ 11 17 Gibraltar.

THE DUKE'S FUNERAL.—Much as we had reason to believe that the Duke's memory would be revered and respected, we were certainly not prepared to witness anything like the excitement caused throughout the whole of the country.

REMARKS OF THE CONTEMPORARY PRESS. (From the Times.) London yesterday must have fared 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 long 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 part. The Crown, 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 tropolis was converted into the theatre of this great national eulogy. The nobleman's mansion and the huckster's shop were equally prepgred for the re ception of the spectators. Deal benches started into existence wherever it was possible to place them. They filled every shop-window, surmounted every wall, occupied every vacant space, from the gardens of a palace to theburial-ground of a church, and the site of a house recently pulled 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 old people in 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. (From the Morning Chronicle.) Panegyric may well be thought to have ex- Lausted 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 milita r y 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. That 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. 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 cau se of charity—the friend 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 destinies of his 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 which lie had lost. His life, though prolonged to extreme old age, exhausted neither his glory nor 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 mos t 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 hi s ac hi evement of a title prouder than that of Prince of Waterloo--the Fath er of his Country. And if we cannot, of Wellin g t on , pronounce what they of old considered the soldier's highest honour, that he died for his country, a higher, if a simpler, inscription can be placed on his tomb—that he lived for it—and for it alone. 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 hearts, far outweigh all the cold succe h st i s i- o b r the rhetorician's art, or the purchased and glittering phrases of the sophist's common. Place book. (From the Morning Post.) It is over. The " good grey head" lies lo w . The great name rises, as did the constant p ur p ose of its glorious bearer, higher and yet higher. Above earth there is now nothing left of our Duke—Our honoured Duke—our loved Duke—except the heir looms of his house—the trophies which he won— the prize e r e a fl u e d c t s i t o e n r f g h w e hi w ch ore--the he left t u h s e e e g f l o t r ihees legacies to his country. The account which lay open in daily life before all men for comment, lies now before its last tri bunal for judgment. On the one side are written, no doubt, failings, without which no human soul has passed through its ordeal here since our fall from the image of the Maker—on the other stand excellencies which none but the dull or base can think of without referring them to the diviner part of man. In that solemn and final triumph which we wit nessed yesterday, there were noble monuments of the qualities and deeds of him whom the great estates of a great country were gathered together to honour. There were the chosen ranks from the army which he formed with consummate sagacity and patience—which he directed with perfect honesty of truth and purpose. There were the dignitaries of the Church, whose ordinances were the earliest portion in the daily work of one, than whom no man ever worked harder. There were the Peers, among whom the Duke won his leading place by the highest achievements, and kept it by the worthiest conduct that even that noble,body has ever known ; there we re th e C ommons , f rom and, in his c a among times afterwards,themselves aat the of au g d lo e ry erdi as ai pri th n a c u e ks an e d f d w a h w o n m o t f w h i i c s e e is d. f t ull he solemn peer, atten d h i e ng re i e n eiv h that great assembly, couched in terms worthy of the occasion which called them forth, and of the potential voice which spoke.

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 Colling wood's dispatch with its tidings from Trafalgar came in the night, he was so restless that he rose at three o'clock. From 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 throu g h th e w h o l 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. 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. Th e 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 b e between despotism and representative institutions. Despotism lives in that part of Europe which is overhung by Asiatic atmosphere ; while, in the representative most advancedcountries in the west of Europe, th e government has never been more than a mere beginning, Young and feeble, how ever, as the Western Opinion has thus far appeared, system o f 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 ; an d 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. liv - e can only say what it will not be. It will not be, as in many wars of the olden time, a mere recu rrence 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 terra ce —. y 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 leadings 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 his fame is hun g 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. "lei-, 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 th a t vast assemblage who thought 'of him more a s the preserver of our nationality ; and, in that, as the champion—un consciously perhaps, but most truly—of the popu lar liberties of Europe. (From the Morning Herald.) We have buried our dead Wellington is sleepin g by unspeakably preciou s are these jewels ein g o o ff ourth renowned cathedral ! w e out side o o f f our N e l sight,son. Howa nd t h h e o national honour, safe in th e sacred two cred p keeping will henceforth pass that hallowed structure without a thrill of fond pride a n d en th us i a s m ? Where i n th e w id e worl d sleep two g reater warriors—and both Englishmen ! —who have turned their v as t warlike capacities to nobler p urposes, and conferred more ex t en d e d and enduring benefits upon soc iety by their skill, prowess, an d patr i otism ? Yesterday we b uried our Wellington—that is, all that was mortal of him. In the sublime accents which were chanted over his .dust--" His body is buried in peace, but his name liveth evermore." And how ? As the image and representative of as pure, exalted, and g rand a character as ever distinguished one of the human species. And his obsequies were most magnificently celebrated—in a manner which must have perfectly satisfied even his exacting and idolising countrymen. Every thing that taste, love, veneration, and the re sources of this great nation could contribute, combined to characterise the proud and mourn ful ceremony of yesterday. Europe sent her greatest heroes to pay reverential homage to our departed mighty one, and testified by their pre sence that Arthur Duke of Wellington, Prince of Waterloo, was felt to have been the saviour of Europe. When has Garter King-at-Arms declared before such a gorgeous list of titles? When will he declare such an astonishing list again? And in the presence of so illustrious an assemblage of royal noble, and great, of our own and foreign land s , He has left us full of years—" life draining out cleat to the last drop"—ftill 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. (From the Morning Advertiser.) The scones 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 magnificant, 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 amid which his ashes were consigned 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 practical. 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, indeed, 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 Parliament. He couldidesire 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 Dolle, command ing the steam vessel Amsterdam, which arrived at 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. Petersburgh. 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 peat. 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 centimetres 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 d egrees centigrade below zero, until the Ist instant, when the ice on the deck began to thaw, and on the 2d the Am sterdam anchored in Copenhagen roads. SUICIDE THROUGH WANT OF E 3 IPLOYMENT.-Mr. Bed ford, the coroner, held an inquest on Wednesday, at the St. Martin's Workhouse, touching the death of Benjamin Greenwood, aged 61, residing at 14, Whitcomb-street, St. Martin's-lane, a journeyman tallow-chandle r lately in the employ of Mr. Osborne, candle manufacturer and oilman, 7, St. Martin's-street, who committed suicide in the following frightful manner on last Mon day evening, at his own residence. Mr. Osborne stated that the deceased had been in his employ about eight 'years, and was always a very sober, steady man. 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, a neighbour, who went up-stairs, on the front room of the first floor, and saw him lying over a pail. Mr. Lenton, surgeon, of 33, Leicester-square, was im mediately called in, and that gentleman found the un happy man, with his throat cut, lying on the floor, with his right hand and arm in a pail, which he had placed there to receive his blood. A white-hadled razor, with which he committed the fatal act, was at the bottom of the pail. On examining the wound it was seen that he had cut from the back of the neck, and divided both the jugular vein and cartoid artery, internally and externally. Death must have been instantaneous. Verdict—" Tem porary Insanity." SHIPWRECK OF AN EAST INDlAMAN.—lnformation has been received of the total loss of a fine Indiaman, near Amlwch Bay, on the Welch coast. The Fairfield, Cap tain Hughes, left Liverpool on Wednesday last, the 10th 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 she soon bilged, and the tide ebbs and flows through her. Abobe 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 washed 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 conveyi ng it t o Li verpool, 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 neighbourhood 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. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT HOUSE OF LORDS.-(YESTERDAY It had been arranged that the peers attending the funeral of the Duke of Wellington should embark on board 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. HOITSE 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 a 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 all 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 that purpose, and he will undertake to keep the passage clear up to Paul's-chain, an opening on the south side of St. Paul's churchyard ; we may possibly be kept waiting there a little while, because it is quite impossible to fix the precise mo ment at which it may be convenient for us to cross. We expect to be able to do so after the 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 sh a ll arr i ve a t th e 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, and 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 has 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 once 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. LAW INTELLIGENCE. ARCHES' COURT, Nov. 18. Notwithstanding the funeral of his Grace the late Duke of Wellington, this court was compelled to hold its sitting, otherwise the proceedings in the causes now pending would have been vitiated. The business, how ever, was limited to a continuation of the assignations until the next court. Dr. Swabey presided as surro gate. 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. IVir. Sleigh and Mr. Parry conducted the prosecution, which was instituted by the Associate Institution for Enforcing and Improving the Laivs 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 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 sister said, it was the other side who had told the falsehoods, not themselves. The Assistant-Judge declared he would hear - no fur ther, and, and ordered the applicants to leave the court ; and the prisoner was removed from the dock. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. BOW 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 ors there has not been so complete a cessation of busings. There were but three or four ordinary cases, which were disposed of either by the infliction of a 5% fine, or by the • discharge of the offenders. THAMES.—Henry Pearce was charged with stealing a horse and cart, and 74- 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, a feiv yards from the High-street. The cart contained quarters of oats, for the use of the troops from Ipswich, who were to return through Whitechapel. He left the horse and cart in the street while he went into the Red Lion public-house to obtain some refreshment. He was absent about ten minutes, and on his return he found the horse and cart were gone. Soon afterwards he found the prisoner in custody. Richard Shipman, a tripe-dresser, of High-street, Whitechapel, stated that he saw the prisoner driving Mr. Baker's horse and cart, containing the oats, at a furious rate along the High-street, on the south side, he came in violent collision with a meat gallows or rack, on which there were a great many hooks for hanging meat upon, and his further pro g ress was stopped. Mr. Lan kester then came up, and detained the prisoner. Mr. R. L. Lankester, meat salesman in the High street, Whitechapel, was .coming down Somerset-st ree t from Tower-hill, wh en h e 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--I 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. -Wa s I not right in breaking off the bargain ?" The Court laughed at the comparison, the attorney was stupified, and the woman won her suit. THE LONDON GAZETTE (THIS EVENING.) COLLEGE OF ARMS—Nov. 19.

AN EMPEROR'S BILLS.-It is expected that some of considerable importance will be presented to the Frt e o Senate by the now Emperor, soon after he shall have • invested with the purple—or the motley, should that W i be judged preferable. The bills will first bo laid befl e Imperial Majesty by certain goldsmith, j ewe ll ers , an,t', rto sage-makers. They will, it is unde rs t oo d , b e su bmit° „ r 1 the Senate simply to be discharged ; and the ge, ll + ;:p opinion is, that they will constitute the principal legi,siti„,,,e— with which that assembly is likely to be troubled.---,rli— BIRTHS.
