Since that period he has grace fully eultiyated. the Latin muse, and has proba bly been, as is said, the delight of his friends, he has taken no part in public business. Ru mottr indeed says that he remonstrated against the Affghan war, and wrote to Lord ELLENBO - to express his approbation of the order to 'withdraw the army. In losing him, however, the public has not lost an active, vigorous states -Min, but one who, full of years and honour, had - p'reiiously retired, worthily,. to pass the close of ids life in the privacy of his family. If that ne • vesarily lessens the public grief fbr the loss of a statesman, it must enhance the public respect for the man. We cannot allow him to pass* to the gr.lve without saying a few words of our own on ..such a remarkable person. We find his name mentioned in the corre spondence between Mr. PITT and the Duke of RUTLAND, COpiOUS extracts of which are pub lished in the last number of the Quarterly Re elew, and we will quote the passage to show how warly he was distinguished:— Among the few persons for whose employment Mr. l'itt himself expresses a wish in these pages, it is in teresting to trace the name of one who has since at tained such high renown in the public service, and lvho still survives in a green and honoured Old age -the then Earl of Mornington, the present Marquis Wellesley. In a letter of August 9th, 1784 (Lord :31ornington being then but twenty-four years of age) I,Tr. Pitt says:— " The immediate object . l have in tcriting at this rlnornent is to state to you some circumstances relative -to Lord Morningto n' and to beg you to let me know iiow far th e id eas I have conceived on the subject cor respond with yours. I find he considers himself as entitled, from the assurances he received both from -. - ou and me (either personally or through Lord • :einple), before you went to Ireland, to expect the 4,mirliest mark of the favour of Government in that 4.oiiiitry which its circumstances could admit 'of. He c iircsses a full disposition to have made every allow :„ice for the exigencies of a new government, at so c..itical a time, but I think fie seems to imagine that faere was 'an appearance of his pretensions being post- Toned, either without sufficient grounds, or without heir being so confidentially stated to him as he sup -I),,,sed he had a claim to. He seemeat the same time 70 feel a real zeal for the interests and credit of your \-erninent, and a strong sen se o f t h e marks o f your sone frien d s h ip . lam very anxi ous , for all our :-Aes, that there should he no misapprehension on the ;-and that from any ‘ , ;,.ject, both from a high opinionoaft desirehirn, I,eing (as .1 am sure you will) a great dog like an engagement, or even a reasonable expec i should not be disappointed. And on the 15th of August following the Duke of 7--';14t4414 thus replies : ;i 7 11.4 eapa have no hesitation of sayingthatmay fall Lord Mor- i 2 4 1 40444‘ shall have the first office which Si, hi; acceptance.

I have his iiqvrest much at heart, as well from private regard as conviction of his powers to render' the public ential service." in the same year (1784) he was elected a : , `ember of the British House of Commons, and Vciti frolll that time till 1835, (luring the long pe rlud of 51 years, continually and prominently agage din public affairs. W e may, for our pur v 11)se, distinguish in his life four epochs, and t.peak ofhini as Governor-General of India, be ./ ween 1797 and 1806—as connected with the Go vornment at home between 1807-1812 —as the vidvocate of the : Catholic claims between 1812 ad 1822, and as the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland 1 om 1822, with an intermission between 1828_ 3 8:3, till 1835. He was in the first Period the tecessful administrator of a great empire, o f • hell he much extended the hounds; in the c!ond, he was the most conspicuous advocate • a vigorous prosecution of the war in the Pe- I•insUla, and contributed by his councils, as his i :.(striou s brother did by his arms, to the rescue I't . iiurope ; in the third, he was the zealous and • t.ady advocate of religious freedom ; and, in the I • lull), he endeavoured to carry into effect the prin t lles of his own policy, and realise in Ireland that p :ice between rival sects, which, .on principle, 11 • said, would be the consequence of abolishing vlitical distinctions on account of religiou dif" rences. lle took the lead in four great • •Itemes of policy, extending our dominion in 3 f l dia, opposing BONAPARTE in Europe, pro rioting religious freedom in his native country, :;nd bringing, for the first time, rival sects to might differ l e practical belief, however they ano ther world, that in this th ey s ')out might THE IN, LONDON, WEDNESD 4 Y EVENING, SEPTEMBER 28, 1842. live in harmony together. In each we_ find something suitable to his years; and if, in the prime of manhood, he was en g aged in schemes of national aggrandisement, in his declining life he was better employed in promoting freedom, peace, and improvement, amongst his fellows. He was, no doubt, active and conspicuous in Par liament ; in the Treasury, of which he was a Lord; and at Court, where he was a favourite, before he went to India; but it was only in 1797, when he was appointed to succeed Lord CORN waLus in the government of that country, that public attention became fixed on him. In general, the splendid success of his green years makes men admire more his administration in India than the better points of his riper years; but when we recollect what CLIVE and HASTINGS, the clerks of a trading company, had achieved in India, in opposition to France, before he went thither, and when we recollect that he was only the second statesman having a large body of Royal troops under his orders, who ad ministered the affairs of that country, with no French forces to oppose him; when we recollect the feeble and disjointed resistance which could be offered by the native Powers, we cease to be dazzled by the splendour of his Indian govern ment, and prefer his exertions as a statesman at home, to his conquests in Asia. The effects of the latter may possibly be transient, and the sort of meteoric empire we have there founded may as speedily sink in darkness as it has risen in splendour; but we are assured that the effects of his labours to rescue Europe from military ty ranny, and to give religious freedom to his na tive land, will endure for ever, and be for ever leading points in the history of civilization. We are forbidden, both by our limited space and limited time, from entering into the details of his conduct, in both dissenting from the Whigs, who depreciated our military Exertions in Europe, and in censuring the Tories, who persisted in making them on a feeble and un worthy scale, and in frittering them away on many objects instead of concentrating the na tional energies on one; we must content ourselves with remarking, that on the great question of the Peninsular war he took a line for himself, and contributed, in the first instance, more than any ether statesman—perhaps more than any other man, except hisillustrious brother—to bring that war to a successful issue. Neither can we enter into his praise-worthy exertions. to form a broad and comprehensive Administration after the death of Mr. PERCIVAL, to which end he was commissioned by the Prince Regent ; nor can we notice the narrow " per sonal animosities" by which the Tory states man of the day thwarted his well-meant patriot ism. He did not succeed, and one of his bigoted and worst opponents, Lord LIVERPOOL, took his place, and prevented all concessions to religious freedom till they were wrung from the weak ness of the Government, to its confusion and dis- Neither can we dwell on his ad ministration of Ireland, which is, we think foolishly, said not to have been success ful, because it was not very brilliant. But when it is considered how much he was ham pered by Orangemen in Ireland and bigots in the Cabinet, that he governed the country in peace, and contributed to raise the Catholics to power and influence, reflect on him much ho nour. It is his merit to have set the example, under much less favourable auspices than Lord NORMANBY, of a conciliatory policy ; aid to have laid the foundation of that better system of governing Ireland, which has ever since been carried out. We must content ourselves with merely hinting at these prominent features of his varied policy, and leave to those who were better acquainted with him, and have more leisure, the task of presenting us with a com plete view of the long career of this accomplished statesman. grace. We cannot close without remarking that his extensive public life, connecting him at one end with the sinking CHATHAM, and at the other with the rising GLADSTONE, or with PEEL ill the full blaze of . his power, comprises almost a century of events, and designates some very great changes in the views of statesmen, and the character of Government. CHATHAM'S policy lay chiefly in war and aggrandisement, and he thought little or nothing of that improvement of the people at home, which now mainly occupies public men. . The Marquis of WELLESLEY, in his career in India, followed the principles of CHATHAM'S policy. He lived to 'learn' better things ; and if it- be true that lie re monstrated against the Affghan war and praised the withdrawal of the troops, he had become, - with the progress of events, a con vert to the opinion that there is more danger than profit in extending an empire: The vigour of his days was passed before the present policy of attending to domestic improvement came into vogue, and it is rather the fault of the time at which lie was born, than of any defect character, that he was not deeply versed in those doctrines of political economy which have in latter times occupied public attention. There are proofs in his speeches that his practical states. manship, though enlightened, was not based on theoretic truth ; and if he was favourable to the extension of commerce in India, he was not tin favourable to monopoly at home. IVe have no recollection that the Noble Marquis ever took an active part in discussing such important sub jects as the taxes on food, the laws for the regu lation of the poor, the' education of the people, the improvement of their health and habitations ; in fact, all these, with many kindred subjects, have grown into public importance, marking a great improvement in the thoughts and v i ews of statesmen, at a time of his life when it was probably as impossible for him to acquire new habits of thought as to become a fleet run ner. When he began his career, policy was founded on some vague and ill-defined principles, which did not include the well-being of the people as the primary object; when his career is closed, policy is based on facts; and the well-being of the people—though there is much ignorance of the means by which statesmen can , promote it—is professedly the single object they have inview. The beginning and the end his career thus designates a great change in the principles of Government, which he cout r i. bated to bring about, which is, perhaps, more Worthy of study and elaborate exposition than even the life of this distinguished man. LITERATURE. THE BOOK OF BRITISH BALLADS. How and Par.gons, London, 1842. Dr. Percy's " Relics of Ancient English Poetry," which--notwithstanding the supereili•- ous sneers of Johnson—produced no slight effect on the literary tone of the age in which they appeared, have evidently suggested the idea of this work, whose editor—Mr. S. C. Hall, a gen tleman every way qualified for the task:---pro poses to avail himself of the researches of Evans Ritson, Pinkerton, Scott, Motherwell; and other poetical antiquaries, so that his collection of Bri.: tish Ballads will, if ordinary diligence be used, be the most extensive in the language. - " Each ballad," he tells us in his Prospectus, " will be preceded by two pages, giving its history, and supplying such information concerning ! it as the- Elitor may be enabled to obtain. Into these pages will be introduced generally the airs to s; hid' the ballads were sung, and any jictorial illustrations that may serve to explain the text." This is a considerable improvement on. Doctor Percy's plan, and not less judicious is Mr. Hall's determinatioa to admit into his col lection such ballads only as appear most worthy of preservation, and not to re print those which have no stronger recommendation than their rarity. Percy and Ritson, notwithstanding their tact and judgment, were both reprellensible in this respect, fur they gave insertion to many trashy ballads, simply, because they were rare, when they should have considered that it was most probable that their rarity was occasioned by their worthlessness. As regards the pictorial portion of the present collection, it is • scarcely possible to praise it in too warm terms, for the designs, which are remarkable for their excel lence and variety, are furnished by some of the ablest artists of the day, and the engravings from them display no less signal ability. PERCIVAL KEEiVE. 3 Vols. CoThum, London, 1842. Though not among the best of its author's (Captain Marrvat's) novels, yet" Percival Keene" is an entertaining production, and in some of its more sprightly and spirited scenes will be found not unworthy of the genius that conceived " Peter Simple." The hero is the illegitimate son of the Hon. Captain Delmar, and derives the name of Keene from his mother, who is married to a private marine. By her means he obtains a midshipman's berth on board his father's ship, who affects an utter ignorance of the young man's close affinity to him, and keeps him at a respectful distance. In the course of time, Percival obtains promotion in the navy, is made a post-captain, and, ultimately, heir to his aunt, the Hon. Miss Delmar, when he takes the op portunity of marrying Minnie Vandervelt, whom, several years before, he had rescued, together with her father, from the clutches of a pirate. His chequered course of life is detailed, for the most part, with spirit, but it is in describing his hero's jocular adventures that the author has been most successful. His sea scenes, too, are uniformly good, and the interview between Per cival, when lett alone on board a water-logged prize, and a negro pirate chief, who has taken an oath never to spare a white man, is full of terse, dramatic vigour. WILLIAM LANG SHAWE. 2 Vols. Bentley, London, 1842. It would seem almost impossible for an author, however skilful and practised in his or her calling, to excite anything like a romantic interest in the for tunes of a Manchester cotton-lord, usually not the most imaginative, chivalrous, or refilled of created beings ; but Mrs. Stone has contrived to do so in her present tale; and, despite his close connection with ginghams, cot tons, billy-rollers, and over-worked factory girls, we feel an interest in the fortunes of William Langshawe and his pretty daughter Edith, which we never felt in the heroes or heroines, say, of Mr. D'lsraeli's notwithstanding their undoubted rank and fashion, and that they lived in the selected quarter of the West end, and had a proper contempt for those who were not so fortunately located. But though Mrs. Stone has produced a readable story, we do not think the subject by any means well chosen—(though recent circum stances, such as the riots in Lancashire, may, perhaps, give it a temporary interest)—for it lies too much among the matter-of-fact common-places of commer cial life, and is, consequently, deficient in that stir, and bustle, and excitement and variety, which consti tute the very salt of fiction. We must acknowledge, nevertheless, that the portrait of William Langshawe is drawn by one perfectly familiar with the class to which he belongs, and shows frequent marks of an observant and discriminating intellect. SONG OF THE RED INDIAN. (From the Dispatch.) Oh ! why should the white man hang on my path,' Like the hound on the tiger's track ? Does the flush of my dark cheek waken his wrath ? Does he covet the bow at my back ? He has rivers and seas, where the billow and breeze Bear riches for him alone ; And the sons of the wood never plunge in the flood That the white man calls his own. Then why should he covet the streams where none But the red-skin dare to swim ? Oh ! why should he wrong the hunter one Who never did harm to him ? The Father above thought fit to give To the white man corn and wine ; There are golden fields where he may live, But the forest wilds are mine. The eagle has its place of rest, The wild horse where to dwell, And the spirit who gave the bird its nest Made me a home as well. Then back, go back from the red-skin's track, For the hunter's eye grows dim To find that the white man wrongs the one Who never did harm to him. ELIZA COOK. CIRCULATING MEDIUM AT HONG KONG.

Th e h at _ vest may now be said to be concluded in the whole of this district, and the crops secured in excellent condition. We had a fine rain on Thursday, which continued dur ing the whole of the night, and this (Friday) morning there are occasional light showers. This has greatly benefited the green crops, and will enable the farmer to get his wheat sown at an unprecedentedly early period— thus holding out a prospect of another favourable harvest. —Durham Advertiser.

Had these riots occurred fifty—or even five and twenty years ago— there would have been pillage and blood-shed to a dreadful extent; but, thanks to the huma nising progress of that " reading and writing" which Archdeacon WILBERFORCE holds in such pious horror, mobs, even when driven to excesses by squalid destitution, are no longer what they were in the good old " Church and State" days of 1780, when, in a paroxysm of orthodoxy, they set fire to London ; and, some few years afterwards, under the influence of the same bigoted feeling, destroyed Dr. PRI E STLEY'S valuable library at Birmingham, because be en tertained but an indifferent opinion of the apos tolic integrity and disinterestedness of Mother Church. Our accounts from Madrid are of the 10th instant. The Patriota announces, that the Mi nister of Finance bad succeeded in negotiating Treasury bills to the amount of 12,000,000 reals out of the 15,000,000 assigned as the quota of the province of Madrid, in the loan of 100,000,000 voted by Congress. Cadiz was tranquil on the 15th. The Globe journal bud not re-appeared since the late fatal encounter between its editor and the Political Chief. Another paper, the Defeusor del Pueblo, had incurred the displea sure of the Progresista and Republican parties, and the authorities fearing for the life of its editor, M. CAMPE, sent every night a detach ment of troops to guard him in his house. The Five per Cents. were done at 261 for cash, and 26,1 11-16 13-16 11-16, at 60 days, for a stun of 21,200,000 reals.

The Levant Mail, due on the 21st at Marseilles, did not reach that place till the 24th, but the letters have not arrived. The following intelligence from. Constantinople is given in the Augsburg Gazette:— " The post just arrived from Constantinople of the 7th, brings tidings of sanguinary quarrels among the MaroniteF, and an intervention of the Pacha. More over, it announces the formation of a camp of from 20,000 to 25,000 men, at - Alalatia, and the sending of fresh troops to Erzeroum." The extracts froin,ibur French Journals show, in another part of the paper, that they are as much divided on the American Tariff as on the Ashburton Treaty. BOURSE—PARIS, MONDAY, SEPT. 26.

Three and a Half Stock • • - It would appear that the new American tariff has caused as much dissatisfaction in France as it has done here. The articles among us which will be chiefly affected, are, it is stated, the lower descriptionS of Birmingham goods, and the letters from that town represent trade there to be unusually depressed, and that many workmen have been discharged in conse quence of it. Merchants, however, well acquainted with the working of American laws, consider this to be too gloomy a view, and hold the opinion that the rates about to be levied will, in the course of a short period, be greatly modified, and that at the instance of the Americans themselves, who are not yet in a situation to dispense with these articles. • The French are, however, in a diff er e n t position, and so strong is the feeling there on the sub ject, that letters have been received directing that several parcels of goods, which had been sent here on their way to New York, should be returned, as the trade is considered to he virtually ended by this new. measure. If both the above opinions be correct, and they are far from being incompatible with each other, it may be concluded, that upon the whole of our exports to America an improvement will be visible.

It is delightful to turn from the angry war of political parties that too generally pervades the Parisian journals, to the genereus, the eloquent, and the harmonising discourses delivered by the great men of France in their halls of science and literature. On occasions like these, to their great honour, they forget all party - strife; all national antipathies ; and, in general, do justice to the discoveries and social improvements of other States. There are, it is true, exceptions, but fortunately rare, fbr their great object seems to be the advancement of intelligence, the union of men of science and genius in every part of the earth, and the diffusion of those blessings which are conferred on mankind by the arts of peace. We have been led to these remarks by a brief account of the proceedings which took place in the Academy of Macon, on the 12th inst., when M. LAMAR TINE delivered an address distinguished for its surpassing eloquence,liberal views of the present state of society, and a glowing description of the vast changes which have taken place within a fewyears, and arestill in active progress, through every part of the habitable globe. A brother philosopher, we believe the son of the historia n LACRATELLE, had denounced the effects of mo d em discoVeries, and among others the inventi on cf steam power, railroads, and machinery, and contended that mankind would be much more happy, if all these were swept from the earth,. and the population of different countries were , brought back to the, simplicity, and, conse quently, ignorance of the primitive inhabitants i n ,by gone ages : This strange argument roused the indignation of the orator, and he broke fbrth in a strain of fervid eloquence, adduced facts and witnesses to refute the charges,' and shored that even steam, o ne of the powers whi c h h a d cause d such mischief, in the view of his antagonist, was one of the greatest ~blessings ever conferred on mankind. < Wbat," said be " has steam done ? It has formed a new geographical, political, morati: and commercial world—it has brought the very ends of the earth together—it is blending different languages, dif ferent races, and different religions, and giving to the whole human race a power and a unity which can be seen and known only by the GREAT CREATOR." Never were words of greater truth uttered, and seldom ever with such effect. By means of the steam-engine nations, formerly as much separated as if they lived in another world, have been brought into contact, mutual wants are sup plied, commerce is increased ito an unknown extent, prejudices and antipathies are effaced; and even the very bigotry of religion assumes a less forbidding aspect. The speech, however, not more remarkable for its eloquence and sound views, than for the humanity and Christian cha rity displayed throughout. Whilst the speaker describes the wealth raised by these great dis 4. coveries, and the additional employment created for the working classes, he. denounces the cruelty of those who enrich themselves at the expense of the poor, and then leave them to pass their old age in want and suffering. We recommend the entire speech to the attention of our readers, who will join in conferring their tribute of praise, and honour on a foreigner so well entitled to the approbation of the wise and good. ArchdeaCon WILBER FORCE has recently issued an Address to the laity of the East Riding of Yorkshire, which is nu otherwise worthy of notice than as it embodies a High Churchman's views of a sound national education. The Rev. Gentleman, as might be expected from his cloth, is exclusively in favour of a system of religious instruction , which he seems to think is a panacea for all present and future evils, and which he designates as " the fulcrum that must move the whole community." Certainly the great truths of Christianity cannot be too generally diffused among the people, or too forcibly pressed on their attention; but we apprehend that this is not exactly what th e Archdeacon means. We suspect that, in a c c o rdance with the tenet s o f Puseyism, he has an eye to the temporal as Ivell as spiritual ascendancy of his Church; and when he talks of " religious instruction," mea ns nothing more . th an t h at the peoWe should be brought up in a spirit of unqualified subordina tion to the Establishment ; that they should be taught: to regard Dissent—in whatever form' it may show itself—as an evil to be eschewed by all good men; and should accept, without consi deration; and with unfeigned thankfulness, what ever doctrines their spiritual pastors may be pleased to propound to them. In a word, we fear that the " religious instruction" which the Archdeacon so strenuously advocates, involres a scheme for perpetuating priestcraft ; and as such, it is infinitely more likely to be injurious than beneficial to the community. We are confirmed in this suspicion by the circumstance that, throughout his address, the Rev. Gentleman takes every opportunity of sneering at '' reading and writing," just as though he felt that the progress of knowledge must of necessity be detriment* to the in terests of priestcraft. That the is more reading and writing,'? :;says, Hi• than for ttillentOlitgeducation ; merly , l admit, and Moe' but'P - - ;greatly doubt svhetk4y,o eiVide ring all the opportunities we ltosscYs .crmv. Yer was a time . in Which were to Le - tonna more per 01s, in the ,true sense of-OW-MOW,: unedu ' tweed than at present." The utter ,fallacy of this remark is proved by recent remarkable events. To what, but to the progress of knowledge among them, and its consequent softening effect on their minds, arc to be attributed the forbearance and moderation so generally shown by the starving operatives, during the late turn-out COLONIAL MARKET. The parcels of produce offered at auction were large, but the demand proved dull, at rather lower rates. The imports were heavy. TEA MARKET. The demand was limited for all sorts of Tea, and rather lower rates were accepted. Very large parcels were announced for auction. TALLOW MARKET. Prices were firm for Russian Tallow, and a good demand existed. P. Y. Candle on the spot fetched 485., and for delivery in last three months, 48s. 3d. per cwt. SPIRIT MARKET. Rum was dull of sale. Brandy firm, and in good request. Corn Spirits in request at 9s. Bd. par gallon cash. DOVER JUSTICES.--Our Justices have received a long letter from the Secretary of State for the Home Department on the subject of the late "hair-crop • pine disc, in which he desires that his " marked dis approbation of the jailer's conduct in that aft'air should be , conveyed to him by the Justices." This unplea sant task was yesterday (Friday) performed by the visiting Magistrates reading Sir James Graham's let ter to the jailer. We cannot conceive a greater hu miliation than it must have been to the Justices to be made the medium of communicating to the jailer this censure of conduct which, in their gravity and wis dom, they had so recently fully approved ; and what a farce the jailer must have thought it, that he should now have a sentence of condemnation read to him by the MagistrateS, some of Whom so lately declared him fully justifiable.—Dover Chronicle.

" Who runs may read." POREXGIi. M. Cohen, the translator of the Bible into French, and editor of the Archives of the Jews in France," has written to the Gazette de Tribunaux, stating that, from his knowledge of the sentiments of his brethren, he can affirm that if Deutz, the person who betrayed the Duchess de Berri, had applied to any of those who knew who and what he was, he would have been rejected with contempt, as his conduct was held in horror mid detestation by them all. On Friday night Fecamp was visited by a tempest; the rain fell in such torrents as to interrupt all the communications.

The Mercury of Franconia mentions from Berlin a report that the budget of Prussia is about to be re duced 1,500,000 dollars, and that this amount, instead of being deducted from the taxes, will be reserved for the purpose of encouraging the construction of rail roads by guaranteeing a minimum of iaterest to the shareholders in such undertakings.
