England cannot fail to appreciate the noble senti ments which dictated the letter in which the First Minister of the Crown announced to the Home Se cretary the wishes of her Majesty the QUEEN, in reference to the funeral obsequies of the late Duke of WELLINGTON. Those wishes, we feel assured, will prove in every respect consonant to the wishes of the entire population. They evidence a touching recog nition on the part of the SOVEREIGN of the eminent services of the illustrious old warrior whose memory is about to receive from the nation so splendid and almost unparalleled a tribute of gratitude and admi ration. In every particular the communication ad dressed to the Right Hon. SPENCER WALPOLE, and dated by the Earl of DERBY on the 20th of Septem ber from Balmoral, is worthy of the statesman by whom it was penned, of the MONARCH whose emotions it expressed, of the people to whose generosity it is in a touching degree respondent, and of the distin guished man whose remains it is intended to honour by an interment of v ery unusual magnificence. Henceforth this memoraltle document will be en shrined is the history of th e D uke of WELLINGTON as the crowning homage offered to a career already rendered remarkable by so many token s of veneration both from the country and from t he SOVE REIGN . I t the in will be related by the future biograph ers Grace, that VICTORIA "received with riett7i: telligence of that death in regar d to which of his eiI4INIE would MINISTER confidently expected tha t the nation ." " as one man" "sympathise with her Metaas-r e It will be remembered, moreover, by the annalist how admirably sensitive her MAJESTY has been in this matter, at once of the feelings of the relations of the deceased and of those entertained by the people at large, and by the members of the Imperial egis.a tare. " Although," says the Earl of DERBY, speak ing_ in th e nam e o f hi s S OVEREIGN , " a lthough the QUEEN could not for a moment doubt that the voice of the country would be unanimous upon the subject of the honours to be paid to the memory of the greatest man of the age, her MAJESTY considered it due to the feelings of his Grace's surviving relatives that no steps should be taken, even in his honour, without their approving concurrence"—and accord ingly a communication was at once, in the first in - sta ilee, addressed by the Noble PREMIER to the younger son of the departed for the purpose of as certaining the sentiments of his family in reference to the public tribute proposed to be offered to his " manes" in behalf of his QUEEN and of his fellow countrymen. Thereupon the relatives of the late Duke having, of course, instantly placed themselves wholly and unconditionally in her MAJESTY'S hands, it might have been expected not unreasonably that the QuEanef would have forthwith issued her corn mends for the preparation of the int en d e d o b sequ i es , without any further delay or any additional preli has n e t b een the course minary. Such, however, circu mstances by a M ONARCH ever pursued under the circa alive to the ma gn animous sentiments of th e popula tion. Instead of proceedieg thu s summarily to the arrangement of the Project ed cere monial, her M AJESTY determined, by o nce more referring the subject elsewhere, to admit the nation to participate more immediately is the anticipated oh . sequie3 than could otherwise have been possible sup posing their authorization emanated exclusively from the personal regrets of the SOVEREIGN. That a tri bute of this description was demanded by a thousand imperative considerations the QUEEN appears to have understood upon the instant, and without one mo ment's hesitation. Her chief Minister has intimated as much, indeed, in words that cannot very readily be forgotten. He has said---" The great space which the name of the Duke of WELLINGTON has filled in the history of the last fifty years--his brilliant achievements in the field—his high mental qualities— his long and faithful services to the Crown—his un tiring devotion to the interests of his country—con stitute claims upon the gratitude of the nation which a public funeral, though it cannot satisfy, at least may serve to recognise." Yet the e O a-xtu was SO far solicitous that that act of recognition should be in every way worthy of h erse lf, o f h er people, and of occasion, that she resolved to render it as much as possible national and popular in its character. The ' manner in which this graceful and magnanimous re solution has been announced by the Noble Earl the PRIME MINISTER of England is too remarkable of its kind not to be borne in very particular and grateful recollection. It is entitled to this especial remembrance inasmuch as it is signally honourable alike to the fame of the departed, to the generosity of the So- VEREIGN, and to her implicit confidence in the sym pathetic munificence of the population. " Her MA JESTY is well aware," said the Earl of DERBY, " that, as in the case of Lord NELSON, she might, of her own authority have given immediate orders for this public mark of veneration for the memory of the illustrious Duke, and has no doubt but that Parlia ment and the country would cordially have approved the step ; but her MAJESTY, anxious that this tri bute of regard and sorrow should be deprived of nothing which could invest it with a thoroughly na tional character—anxious that the greatest possible number of her subjects should have an opportunity of joining it—and anxious, above all, that such honours should appear to emanate from the general will, and that the two Houses of Parliament should have an opportunity, by their approving sanction, of stamping the proposed ceremony with increased so. lemnity, and of associating themselves with her MAJESTY in paying honour to the memory of one whom no Englishman can name w ithout pride and sorrow." It has, therefore, been fittingly resolved that the body of the Duke of WELLINGTON shall remain " under proper guardianship" at Walmer Castle until the newly-elected Parliament has ayrreceive through ec as sembled, when the wisphpersoafl of the people, the QUEEN il the final and formal approval the voice of both Ilouses of the Imperial L eg i sa t u r e . Perhaps, however, the most beautiful and touching recognition by the SOVEREIGN of the eminent services performed to the State by the late Duke of WEL LINGTON—perhaps the one which of all will prove the most to the population—is that pec uliarly acceptable evidenced by her MAJESTY'S selection of St. Paul's Cathedral as the most appropriate scene of our Great Captain's sepulture. There, as the nation desires, he may be interred " with all the solemnity due to the mournfulness of the occasion," reposing by the side of our immortal NELSON-93 the PRIME MINISTER nobly and truthfully expresses it—" the greatest Military by the side of the greatest Naval Chief who ever reflected lustre upon the annals of England ' Everything augurs admirably for the grandeur and the glory of those obsequies which will, assuredly, constitute one of the most memorable and extraordinary incidents in the reign of our Gracious SOVEREIGN. Every thing promises that the national funeral of The Duke will crown by its splendour, in a becoming manner, the honours not undeservedly showered upon him by the MONARCH and by the Multitude, during the greater portion of his illustrious and protracted exist ence. When these memorable and remarkable obse quies shall at length have been completed, England will at least have the consolation of reflecting that to one of her greatest sons she has proved herself not altogether ungrateful. Whatever could be done by the CROWN and by the Country, whether in life or in death, to recognise the eminent achievements of the &parted, will then to the full have been accom plished ! And the children of efter generations will turn with emotions of reverence, not wholly, alas ! analloyed with those of regret, to that great Cathe dral Church of St. Paul's, beneath the dome of which will thenceforth repose, side by side, the two most glorious warriors of the Anglo-Saxon race— England having wisely resolved to associate yet more intimately by the contiguity of their illustrious tombs the kindred renown of her NELSON and her WELLINGTON. The principles and practice of life assurance are now universally recognised. There are few persons in receipt of incomes more than sufficient to meet their daily expenditure--so far as the mere necessa ries of life are concerned—who do not deem it ex pedient to set aside a portion of their receipts for the purpose of meeting some extraordinary demand or emergency, for which they would be unable to pro vide from their ordinary resources. Even persons in the possession of accumulated atid realised property, who are themselves placed beyond the possibility of personal distress, so far as human foresight can make provision for future contingencies, desire to appro• priate a portion of their superfluities to the acquisi tion of additional means. The power of rendering wives and children independent—of securing the pos session of an extra sum, beyond that included in the marriage settlement, or at the disposal of the husband or father, or, with a single man, the possibility of entering into those sacred relations—or even the mere desire of accumulation, although without any defi nite object—are sufficient to make every man of ordinary prudence set aside or save a considerable portion of his ordinary income. If, however, men of property and substance are thus provident, how much more desirable is it that those dependent on their own exertions for support, who owe their daily bread to their daily labour, should exhibit similar forethought, and endeavour to secure the means of livelihood for that period of life when the decay of his mental or physical powers may ren der each incapable of " winning his ein bread." Such persons are grossly culpable if they neglect this palpable duty, and the acknowledged necessity of such an appropriation is one of the strongest argu ments against the present unjust, oppressive, and in equitable assessment of the income and property-tax. Under such circumstances, it is by no means sur prising that the annual savings amount to about one fifth, or 20 per cent. of the annual revenue. That proportion is usually re-invested, and one of the most popular forms—for the advantages of mutual support and co-operation are now thoroughly appre ciated—is by way of " LIFE ASiURANCE. " A man full of strength and activity, confident in his own Powers, will brave every danger, so long as life be spared, but he must succumb to the ordinary lot 4. mortals. Death may approach at any moment, and he feels that to be the chief, if not the only, con tingency to be guarded against. It ' S unnecessary to say that many companies have I be en for me d t o meet the general de mand for " assurance facilities ;" some have been in existence for many years, and have accumulated immense property. Any establishment indeed conducted on just and honest principles must h av e succeeded A lar ger proportion have more re cently sprung existenc e , and they else, whenever t h e manage ment hri been unexceptional, have , generally speaking, in their dealings have exhibited than the more an cient eratinldity established concerns. however, recentl y b, An onslaught has , been made on the junior branches by or on behalf of the seniors. It is said that there is no s ufficient se unity for the assured—that nothing but an am Y p le, a col ossa l paid-up capital can give that perfect guara n t ee es _ sential in such a case. These cavillers appear t o forget that if their arguments were well founded, th e more ancient establishments should long since have closed their doors in a state of hopeless insolvency—they could not have successfully encountered the difficul ties enumerated, but must either have made heavy calls on the proprietors and shareholders, or defraud ed the assurers. We do not wish to be understood as making any charge against the old companies. They discharge their obligations to the very hour, pay very hand some dividends to the shareholders, and have large reserved funds ready for any favourable invest ment. But these funds have been gained from " the assured," and the young companies can (10 the same, and become in due time as prosperous. = d ay, more, the great experience now obtained in matters once obscure and comparatively unknown, " sabl e new companies to offer advantages to the assured, and th a t w i t h out any l oss to themselves, which the traditions of the ancient offices, and the influence of very re.pectable, but rather antiquated, officers, prevents their rivals from sanctioning. As an illustration of these points, we would di rect attention to the advertisement of a comparatively junior company, which o will be found in another co lumn. There we find the board of direction com prising a body of gentlemen of unimpeached and unimpeachable respectability, whose c h arac t ers w ill afford ample security again s t any unfair play or hwiedi insolvent. i we ieg,fornothngelse can render an i nsurance company also find that the greatest objection to life assurance, which has prevented many parties from availing themselves of possibility o f its advantages — the being un able to keep up the annual premium, is obviated. An option will be allowed to every person of withdrawing the sum which the policy is pay any further premiu ms , a t hnedn havingwor worth, or o t r h ceasing e a e s q i n u g to pay value secured at death. The benefits thus conferred may be best estimated from the fact that without such a proviso th e p o li cy might lapse, and all previous payments become for feited to the society. In addition, there is every other advantage offered by other com panies. "The policies are not void by suicide." Dis eased lives, refused by other offices, may be ac cepted, and payments received in the manner most convenient to the assured. The policies will really be indisputable, for the grounds on which the liability could be litigated will no t b e i nser t e d i n the policy, and will, therefore, not be regarded as a warranty by the assured, a failure of which would render void the obligation on the part of the company. The secretary and actuary de serves much credit for the manner in which he has got up the concern, for it is on that officer that the responsibility mainly falls, and Mr. C. W. &PAN has proved himself an acquisition to any com pany. We doubt, then, if any of the old companies could offer greater inducements to new customers than may be obtained from modern companies, and few offer so favourable a combination as THE DE POSIT AND GENERAL LIFE ASSURANCE COMPANY. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris journals of yesterday. The PRINCE PRESIDENT reached Marseilles from Avignon at five o'clock, on the 26th instant. When he arrived at the Porte d'Aix he received from the hands of the mayor the keys of the town. The en thusiasm was at its highest point, when the PRINCE got on horseback, and went through the Rue d'Aix and the Cours, in the midst of a concourse of up wards of 100,000 inhabitants. Everywhere were to be seen corps of workmen with their banners and de putationsof journeymen. The windows were every where dressed out. Upwards of 600 persons of note awaited the PRINCE at the Prefecture, and foremost amongst them were two envoys of the POPE and the King of NAPLES, charged to carry to the PRINCE at Marseilles the felicitations of their respective So vereigns. The Count DE ST. MARSAN, archbishop in partibus, formerly nuncio at different courts, was the representative of the Roman Court, and General ROBERTI, aide-de-camp of the King of NAPLES. At half-past six, a dinner of eighty covers was given by the PRINCE at the Prefecture, whilst ladies of every class of society circulated round the table of the PRINCE. At nine o'clock the PRINCE proceeded to the theatre, where his arrival was greeted with en thusiastic transports. There, as in the streets, shouts of " Vive l'Empereur !" were universally raised. At eleven o'clock he returned to the Prefecture in the midst of similar cries from an immense crowd. The municipal council of Dijon have adopted a re solution expressive of their wish that the Senate should confer, within the shortest possible delay, the hereditary imperial power on Prince Louis NAPO LEON. Addresses of a similar tendency have been also presented within the last day or two by the au thorities and inhabitants of Septeme, Hevrieux, Cha vagnieux, St. Clair, La Chapelle, and Vernioz, in the Isere ; and Argeles, in the Hautes-Pyrenees. The .111oniteur Algerien of the 20th publishes a fresh list of commutations of punishments granted to the transported prisoners of 1852 by the PRINCE PRESIDENT since the let inst. They include 1 from the Hautes Alpes, 9 from the Aveyron, 72 from the Drome, 3 from the Herault, 1 from the VaucluEep and 34 from the Loiret. The Moniteur de Armee says—" It has been re ported that the conspiracy against the life of the PRESIDENT was hatched at Toulon, where the machine is said to have been constructed. It was calculated to make 800 victims. According the same ver sion, arrests are said to have been made simulta neously at Marseilles and at Toulon, and it is added that the authors of the plot form part of a secret so ciety called the Vengeurs." The Observateur Beige was distributed by the Post-office on Sunday, after being interdicted en trance into France during several months. Great activity prevails at present in the different Ministries, and the chief functionaries are engaged in preparing Bills for the next session of the Legislative body. The Prefect of the Seine and the Municipal Coun cil intend, says the Union, to give the PRINCE PRE SIDENT on his return to Paris a reception of such pomp as even to surpass that of the departments. By a recent decision of the PRINCE PRESIDENT certain modifications are made in the allowances and pay of generals, colonels, and other officers. On en tering on a campaign a general of division is to re ceive an allowance of 6,000 f.; a general of brigade 4,000 f.; and a commissary-general 4,000 f. The pay of a colonel of infantry in active service is to be 6,6'00f. a year, and of cavalry 6,000 f. There is a long article in the Debats on the Uni versal Exhibitions of Industry, announced for 1853 in Ireland and New York. The Debats regrets that these exhibitions should be simultaneous, as this cir cumstance must, it thinks, be injurious to both; and it is, besides, of opinion that neither of them is abso lutely necessary, so soon after the Great Exhibition of London. It is not be supposed, says the Debats, that in so short a period industry can have made such progress as to render other public exhibitions necessary. The Journal du iliivre says—" We think we may announce that an influential company is now being formed at Paris for the purpose of proposing to the Government the establishment of a line of steamers between Havre and Rio Janeiro. This company has among its subscribers almost all the firms which have commercial relations with the Brazils. It is proposed that these vessels shall run every month between Havre, Lisbon, Madeira, Goree, Pernambuco and Bahia, and be united at Rio to a line which will run to the other adjoining ports for the transport of pas sengers and merchandise." letter from Chalon-sur-Saone, of the 25th, states that the vintage had just commenced in the Cote'd'Or, under very unfavourable auspices both as regards quantity and quality. The Bourse opened feebly, but it became:more firm towards the close of business.

The coali tion have not been able to agree as to the ulterior duration of twelve years of the Zolverein.

The four young men were immersed in very deep water, it being nearly high tide and funning very strong. Three of the occu pants of the boat could swim well, and succeeded in righting the boat and rowing to shore, but the unfortunate one who was drowned, could not swim, and sank instantly. Great efforts were made by both the Fulham and Putney water men to recover the body by use of the drags, but they were not successful until between nine and ten o'clock yesterday morning, when he was found near the spot where he sank. The deceased's name is Wm. Butts, age 25; he was a remark ably fine young man, his trade was that of a block maker, and it is said that he was the sole support of his father and mother.

CITY, TWO O'CLOCK. The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti mated at 12,000 bake, of which 1,000 American were taken for export, and 1,000 Egyptian and 3,000 Ameri can on speculation. The market was animated, and closed firmly wfth American nearly id. per pound higher. Other kinds without alteration. The sales comprised 9,500 American, 210 Pernam and Maranham, at bad. to 7id.; 1,200 Egyptian, at 6d. to is. ld.; and 1,000 Surat, at 4kd. to 4id. per lb.—Railway Shares were heavy at lower quotations. Die Ganges, from Sydney, has brought 17,852 ounces in gold, which, with the amount from Port Philip by the Medway, as stated yesterday under this head, gives a total c f nearly 330,0001. This is more than we have ever before had in one day from Australia, but probably not yet the most we shall have. The commercial letters from France, alluding to the Customs' receipts of the country during the past month, state that, compared with August, 1851, there was a slight increase. The articles of import upon which more duty was received were wool and oil, iron, and B e l g ian lin e ns, the quantity having increased considerably. This, it is observed, does not agree with the complaints made by Belgium. The total receipts of the eight months are given at 92,000,000 florins against 76,500,000 florins to the end of August,. 1851. The exports from France have not been so good. Woollens, shawls, cloths, cottons, machinery, china, and wines declined last month. The English Funds have been very steady, but there is scarcely any business doing. Consols have been quoted 100 to * for Transfer,. The premium on Ex chequer-bills is 705., and on East India Bonds 84s, India Stock is at 277. There is still no foreign news of importance to act upon values. The Foreign Market has been more active. Peru vian Deferred have been trp to 624 and 63i, the intimation by Mr. President Webster that he has been misinformed, and cannot allow American ships to take guano from the Lobos islands, being all in favour of the security. Grenada De furred also are looking better, having been done at 11i and 12. Venezuela Stock is worth 42 to 43, a :Rifliciently high price as many will think, considering: the tenor of the last intelligence from the republi c. Spanish Three per Cents. have been quoted 50i, and the New Deferred 23 Sardinian Bonds aro at 954 to 96. Portuguese Stock is lower, being at 38k. Russian Five per Cents. have been done at 1181 without the dividend. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. have been at 64i. Railway Shares have all been worse, and this results from the arrangements for the settlement of the specu lative half-monthly account. There is at present so little doing for investment, owing to the absence of nu merous parties from town, that the market becomes very susceptible towards the time w! en " carrying over" has to be effected. Fronoh Sharon k eve been flatter also, and with less doing. The Gold Mine Shares are quiet, and United Mexican have further receded. National Patent Steam Fuel shares are 5-16 to 7-16 for th© settlement. The Bank of India, so loug talked of, is out at last, Tho proposed capital is a mil lion sterling, and it is as sumed that, with increased steam navigation and more railways, there will be greater room for the employment of capital.

The Solicitor-General, in tho course of his speech acknowledging the toast said :—" I ventue, as the first consolation in these the times of your adver- Members for the sity, to remind you that, at least so far as regards titthes.o, to whom the interests of the country are now comm ed all the best energies of some of the best intellects in this country are now dedicated to your service and to your interests.—(Cheers.) That th e y ma y succeed in doig, that which I, at least, feel to be no more than f r the m p3 the Y ment of a debt of justice whic h is duo to you o Legislature and the country, I du most sincerely pray' ray.

A tolerably largo number of spectators assembled at the Hippodrome yesterday afternoon to witness another experiment in aerial navigation. The aerostatic machine which was to ascend on this occasion is the invention 01 M. Gifford. It is an oblong cylinder, somewhat in the form o f a fish, of about 120 feet in length, and about '2° ends. Tho directing feet in diameter at its thickest part, and gradualli tapering off at both is a very small and beautifully - finished t tn - e ll o 3 ' 2 ' 8 ea setting in motion a propeller resembling in form the screw used in steam vessels. This is suspended , a t shoe 20 feet beneath the balloon from a long boom which is attached to it, and which ' a, supports at Ita extremity' _ triangular sail. The preliminary preparations havi rf,. been completed, and the steam-engine and its the 0t ) made fast, the aeronaut took his scat, the Ini ; chine rose, and went rapidly before the wit ) ' f towards the south-west. Suddenly, by the action e' apparattis the he 0 apparatus, its course appeared to receive a 0 . A and it slowly veered round, thus proving some coMrata `.l of the aeronaut over his aerial vessel. It then steac. l Y i and gradually proceeded in the direction of the win L i i . until lost in sh© distance.
