THE tomb has closed upon all that was mortal of ARTHUR, Duke Of WELLINGTON. Poets and Orators have vied with each other in attempts to illustrate his character and deeds. The SENATE has expressed its solemn sorrow for the loss of its revered adviser ; the ARMY has bewailed its heroic chief; the SOVEREIGN has wept for the most faithful of subjects, the most fearless of counsellors, and the truest of friends; the PEOPLE has eagerly offered its hearty though mute tribute of gratitude and regret to the memory of its Defender. A bereaved NATION has bent with dignified grief over the grave of a Hero, whom future ages will esteem the noblest and greatest of her sons. LONDON CORONER'S COURT, YESTERDAI There were four inquests held yesterday, before P. F Curry, Esq., the borough coroner:—On the body of a female, named Sarah Mountain, who lived in 25 Court, Old Crosshall-street. The deceased was a hawker of fish. On Wednesday she complained of a pain at her chest, and vomited blood. This continued until Friday morning, when she died.—On the body of Matthew Row, aged 19, who lived in Devon-street, and who went to bed well on Sunday night. He slept with a friend, who awoke about half-past one by bearing him moan. A surgeon was sent for, who was immediately on the spot, but the deceased died immediately after his arrival.—On the body of Ann Miller, aged 70, lodging at 24, Crosshall-street, who was in good health up to Saturday afternoon, but complained of having taken cold. On Saturday afternoon, about four o'clock, her nephew found her dosing by the fire, end persuaded her to go to bed. She did so; and a few minutes after she became very ill, and died shortly after.—On the body of James Howe, an infant only five weeks old, son John Howe, of 24, Gerard-street, who was found dead on his mother's arm in bed, on Sunday morn ing. The deceased had been a delicate child from birth. —ln each case the jury returned verdicts of " Died by the visitation of God." POLICE COURT.-YESTERDAY. James Clay and John King were charged by Williams (detective officer) as suspicious characters. The officer stated that, in consequence of the complaints which had been made of pockets being picked at Salisbury-street Chapel, he attended there on Sunday evening, and saw the prisoners is the crowd as the congregation were leaving, and apprehended them. He did not, however, see them do anything. Mr. Owen, who appeared for the prisoners, contended that there was not sufficient to justify their committal. Mr. Wybergh said they were charged with frequenting the place as suspicious characters. Clay was not known, but King had been in custody twenty-three times. Mr. Owen said they had a right to go there, and he had as much right to assume that they went there to repent of their past conduct as for an improper purpose. The magistrate gave them the benefit of the doubt, and they were discharged. CHARGE OF FORGERY. — John Edwards, alias Tom kinson, was placed before Mr. Stewart, charged with ut tering forged orders for goods. It appeared that, on Saturday evening, the prisoner went to the shop of Mr. Tate, grocer, with an order for one cwt. of sugar, pug• porting to be irom Mr. Allanson, tallow chandler. The prisoner said he would take the sugar, as it was for a lady who was going to Bootle, but, on Mr. Tate expressing some doubt about the genuineness of the order, the prisoner attempted to make his escape. He was, however, pur sued, and apprehended. It was then found that the same evening the prisoner had presented an order to Mr. Allan son for six dozen candles, purporting to be signed by a person named Prescott, for Mr. Tate, but no such per son being in Mr. Tate's service, the order was not ex ecuted. The prisoner said he was sent with the orders by a person of the name of Jones, whom he could pro duce, and, to give him an opportunity of doing so, he was remanded until the following day, and if the party was not forthcoming he would be committed to the assizes. DrEn.—On the 20th instant, at Wolverhampton, MARY, the beloved wife of the Rev. GEon GE STOKES, and daugh ter of the late Marley Robzon, Esq., of Rose Bank, Edge-lane, Funeral rites, suitable in their magnificence for the kings of the earth, have celebrated the return to dust of the body of him who will live henceforth in the deathless page of history. But impressive, noble, and appropriate as have been all these outward manifestations of sorrow and respect, there remains one much more noble and appropriate, one much more valuable and permanent, though less palpable and less striking to the sense. The imitation of his excellencies as a Soldier, as a Statestnan, and as a Citizen will certainly keep the memory of WELLINGTON fresh among the sons of Great Britain. Such a man does not live for an age—does not merely serve the purposes of a present national emergency,—as the political effects of his achievements in the field, and of his wisdom in the council, must extend far away into the future, influencing the destinies of nations; so will his personal example exercise a larger and lasting influence upon the characters of his fellow countrymen. The name of WELLINGTON will serve to turn the flight, to rouse the drooping spirits of our armies in the midst of disaster and danger, and cheer them on to victory. It will enable the statesman to resist the temptations of cupidity, vain glory, and personal ambition. It will help to keep Englishmen brave, honest, dutiful and just. In the magnificent panegyric pronounced by Nil.. Ms- RAELI on the Duke in the House of Commons, no passage was more remarkable than that in which he alluded to the public benefits to be derived from the contemplation of the character of the illustrious deceased : " I will not say of England that he has revived here the sense of duty—that, I trust, was never lost—but that he has made the sense of public life more masculine; that he has rebuked by his career restless vanity, and regulated the morbid suscepti bility of irregular egotism, is, I think, no exaggerated praise. Ido not believe," continued the gifted orator, " that from the highest to the lowest, that from those who are called on to incur the most serious responsibilities of state, to those who exercise the humblest duties of our society,—l do not believe there is one among us, who may not experience moments of doubt and depression, when the image of WELLINGTON will occur to his memory, and the sense of duty will sustain and support him." To say, as the Chancellor of the Exchequer said of the Duke with unquestionable truth, that he was "the greatest man of a great age," does not, of necessity, imply all the characteristics of him who is gone from among us. Great Captains, great Conquerors, great Statesmen there have been before, and in great ages too,—(for great men make great ages)—but never—as far as we know of the world's history—has one man combined so many great qualities in himself as our own Duke. But his greatness did not elevate him above the sympathies of his contemporaries. It is now only when he is dead, now when we miss him from his old familiar haunts, now when he is no longer one of us, we begin to feel all that he was to us. How truly did Mr. DISRAELI say : "Although the Duke of WELLINGTON lives so much in the minds and hearts of the people of England, although at the end of his long career he occupied the most prominent position, filled the most august offices, no one seemed to be conscious of what a space he occupied in the thoughts and feelings of his countrymen till he died." Those who agree with us in political opinions, more than by any other section of the community, must the Duke's lost be deplored; for in him we must recognise the very type of NATIONAL CONSERVATISM. We are not presumptuous enough to attempt to deduce for our readers the lessens which the life and death of WELLINGTON should teach. In future times, when the Genius of History would inform mankind where the best examples of true heroism and patriotism are to be found, she will not fail to point to the venerable dome where, by the side of HORATIO NELSON, a sorrowing and a grateful country have deposited the mortal remains of the immortal ARTHUR WELLESLEY. EXTRAORDINARY AND MYSTERIOUS SPECULATION IN FOREIGN CORN. THE Economist, as the especial organ of the free traders in corn, has been amusing its readers with a long story about an extraordinary and mysterious speculation in foreign corn, upon which it feels puzzled to find any satisfactory explanation. It states that from last February, about the time when the present Ministry came into office, extensive operations have been carried on, by which numerous cargoes of grain from Northern Europe, and flour from the United States, have been imported into London, and there sold at prices below the cost. These transactions continued down to September, at the sacrifice of a considerable sum of money ; and the writer hazards the conjecture that they were undertaken at the instance of the Ministry, in order, by depressing the English markets, to serve a Protectionist purpose. He, however, states fur ther, that the operations were resumed a month or two since, and he then changes his tone and suggests that they may have been carried on at the instance of the French Ministry, in order that by keeping down the London market, there might be no dis content arising from the high prices in the South of France. We need not stop to inquire how low prices of grain in the English markets could be ex pected to advance the interests of the DERBY Administration, but we would ask if the design was really to influence the elections, what end would be answered by extending such expensive operations into September, when the month of July had decided the complexion of the new Parliament. The writer was evidently at a loss for an idea, and thought to serve his party by throwing dirt at the Conservative Government. He is, however, more puzzled by the alleged resumption of the losing speculation in October, and, in despair of finding any other solu tion for the alleged mystery, he turns from England to France, and attributes to M. FouLD what he is obliged to admit he cannot reasonably fix on the Earl of DERBY, But will any of our readers, con of speculation, without the necessity of any reference to political designs, except in the wish of the writer to damage the Governments, whose policy is above his comprehension. lf, however, his argument is worth anything, it serves to show the utter inutility of mis-called free trade to preserve the chief neces sary of life at a low equable price, when the markets of England and the Continent can be at the mercy of any designing Minister who wishes to operate upon them for a political purpose. The Manchester Guardian, in its zeal for its League patrons—now on the eve of being buried in their original obscurity — has given further currency to the Economist's invention, with a comment upon its probability ; but the conclusion to be drawn is too absurd for serious refutation ; and we have called attention to the circumstance as an instance of the desperate shifts to which the party must be reduced to resort to such an expedient. Will he ready on Thursday, PRICE TWOPENCE. . _ _ TMALIiAf: A LECTURE delivered in the 1 Concert-hall, Lord Nelson-street, Liverpool, on Monday Evening, Nov. 15, by,the Rev. VERNER M. WHITE,: Reprinted from the Liverpool Standard. May be had at, the Standard Office. TO CORRESPONDENTS t We shall be happy, at all times, to receive communications on subjects of local or general interest ; and if ourfriends will be good enough to authenticate the same by their signa tures, for our own satisfaction, we shall feel obliged. versant with the ordinary operations of commerce, believe that any amount of individual speculation, however large, in articles of such universal con sumption as wheat and flour, could so affect the London market as to have any sensible effect on prices in the South of France; and at a time, more over, when the writer admits large purchases of corn were made in London, and shipped to Holland at a profit ? In the first place, it has not been proved that such transactions actually took place at any single instance, although it might perhaps be shown that many shipments to London from northern ports were made at a loss. In this there is nothing extraordinary, save in the confused intellects of the Free-trade writer, who wished, in the first instance, to raise a cry against Lord DERBY'S Government, and finding his position untenable, allowed as much as he could of the dirt to stick, and endeavoured to save his own credit, by a plausible reference to the French Ministry. In the early part of the season, great doubts were entertained as to the yield of our own harvest, and this feeling remained almost up to the close of the harvest, the very time when he states the first cessation took place in the specula tion. What more probable, then, than that many, entertaining an impression of a rise in prices here, would provide by early shipments from the conti nental ports for the expected profit ? Again, the partial failure in the potato crop, and the actual rise in the English markets during the last few weeks, would sufficiently account for the resumption THE RIVER PLATE The intelligence which we published last week of the bloodless revolution in Buenos Ayres against the government of General Urquiza, would seem at the first view to destroy the hopes which were entertained of advantages to our commerce by the River Plate being open to free navigation; and there is no doubt that commercial operations have been considerably disarranged by this untoward breach of so recent a settlement. There are circum stances, however, which tend, in a great degree, to modify this impression ; and, perhaps, we should hardly be justified in coming to a conclusion before we receive further advices. It may be true that the British, French, and American Ministers left with the deposed governor for Santa Fe, and that by far the strongest party of the Buenos Ayreans are united against him ; but it is equally true that the revolution has been a bloodless one, and an amicable adjustment, therefore, more open to nego tiation. It is also said that the new government is favourable to the free navigation of the River Plate, so that much of the difficulty in the way of arrangement is smoothed away. We can hardly suppose that British interests are dependent upon this or that individual, and we therefore deem it probable, in the absence of further information, that English commerce may yet reap the advan- tages which were anticipated from the recent settle ment. TRADE WITH THE UNITED STATES, THE NEW PRESIDENT AND THE DEMO- CRATS THE arrival of the Europa, which, from the delay caused by easterly gales, and subsequently by thick fogs, we were only enabled to announce in a Second Edition, last week, brought us the intelligence of the election of General PIERCE, the Democratic candidate for the Presidency cf the United States, by a far more overwhelming majority than was ever known on any previous occasion. The circum stance is significant in a political point of view, as showing the extraordinary increase of the element of Democracy in the model Republic, the strength of which was believed to be based upon the equi librium which had been so long preserved between the two opposing parties. It is no longer a defeat, but an utter extinction of the Whig party—a term which is synonymous with Conservative in Eng land; and the Democrats, triumphant in the State as well as the Federal Elections, may now show their ability, or inability, to govern themselves, un checked by the prudent restraint, and unaided by the experience which they erstwhile received from the moderate Whigs. The Election, in its various incidents ; in its uncontrolled license of mob vio lence; the destruction of ballot-boxes ; personation of voters ; and multiplication of votes, has also afforded to the admirers of the Ballot and Universal Suffrage in England, a notable instance of the working of such institutions as a guarantee for the freedom of representation, and will form a fitting illustration when the Manchester party have a new theme for agitation. The result of the Election is, however, of far more importance to England, and particularly to Liverpool, with reference to its effects upon our commercial relations with the United States. It is well known that the policy of the American Govern ment has been of a decidedly protective character, more especially as regards British manufactures, with the view of stimulating the embryo manufactures of the United States. President FILLMORE and his advisers had the sense to perceive that England had risen to greatness through protecting her own industry, and taking tribute, not of her own children, but of strangers ; and they endeavoured to arrive at the same end by the same means. The new President is said to be an ardent Free-trader, and it is confidently predicted that under his rule the commercial policy of the United States will be of a far more liberal character than heretofore. Should this prove to be the case—of which there seems to be no reasonable doubt—then England will come in for the largest share of the advantages to be derived from the new markets, which will be opened to her Exports, and we shall realise that reciprocity of trade,—that virtual exchange of calicoes for raw cotton and bread-stuffs, which was held out as the great inducement for repealing the Corn-laws. With the wisdom of such a policy as, regards the United States, we have no concern. As Mr. ABBOTT LAWRENCE, the American Mi nister to this country, justly observed, that, with out venturing an opinion on the policy of England in opening her ports, it was for his countrymen to take the advantage, which at that time they did not think it wise to grant in return.

It must also be understood that no acts of Convocation, however sanctioned, have the slightest authority over the laity without the direct ratification of an Act of Parliament, while we have the express declaration of Her Majesty's Secretary of State that, under no consideration, will he advise the sanction of the Crown to any legislative proceedings on the part of Convocation. The members of both Houses appear to have confined themselves to questions altogether irre spective of doctrinal differences, and simply in the way of recommendations for the abatement of admitted evils. These, however, can have no other weight than would attach to them from the character and respectability of the parties who join in them, and under these considerations the late discussions may be viewed in no other light than as a mere elongation of the formal proceedings which on previous occasions characterised the first day's meeting of Convocation. MR. HORSFALL AND ELECTION THE DERBY THE first shot fired by the unscrupulous Radicals of Derby against the return of Mr. T. B. HORSFALL, as their Conservative representative, by a side-wind insinuation against the purity of his election, has resulted in a failure. They feared to petition directly against his return, because that would provoke a counter petition, which there is little doubt would result in unseating their own man Mr. BASS. They adopted therefore a mean evasion, and with out complaining of the return of Mr. HORSFALL, instructed the late Attorney-General to move tor a parliamentary in quiry into alleged charges of bribery affecting the Right llon. W. BERESFORD, tho real intention being to unseat Mr. HORSFALL, if by any means the charge could be sub stantiated. The experienced eye of the SPEAKER saw through the shuffle, and ho rejected the petition as in formal ; and the discomfited Radicals are now left to the alternative of abandoning their opposition, and declining any further proceeding of their trick about the bribery charge, or of petitioning against the return, with the moral certainty that the counter petition, which will as surely accompany it, will lead to the unseating of Mr. BASS. It is almost needless to say that both Mr. HORSFALL and Major BERESFORD court the fullest inquiry into the alleged charge of bribery, for none who know Mr. Hoßs rrAtr, will believe him to be guilty of such combined knavery and folly. means of increasir in this country THE CONVOCATION. THE proceedings which have recently taken place in both Houses of Convocation, and of which we have given a brief report in another part of our paper, have excited feelings of a very opposite character among two classes of Churchmen, but in both cases to a degree which a cairn consideration of the circumstances will hardly justify. Those who have shown their anxiety for a revival of the active functions of Convocation, by petitions and other wise, have looked upon the three days' discussions which have taken place as a partial realisation of their hopes and wishes. They have viewed the proceedings as an earnest of a further step, and confidently predicted an early time, when, restored to its primitive powers, the Convocation of the Church will be an actual and living reality. On the other hand, that great body of the clergy and laity who look with alarm upon a return to the days which are only remembered for their turbulent discussions and violent controversies between the ministers of a faith, the great principle of which is meekness, and who consider that the revival of a controversy on points of doctrin would inevitably result in a dismemberment of the Church, have viewed, with much apprehension, an a,pparent commencement of actual business in a body, the powers of which they had believed to be virtually defunct. In either case it requires but a calm consideration of the facts to show that both hopes and fears have been con siderably over-rated. There is nothing novel in the Convocation of the Province of Canterbury voting an address to the Sovereign, and the real difference from recent precedents is that the discussion, instead of be' confined to one day, bas extended over three. It is true, that other points have been touched upon, as the additional time afforded scope for further deliberation ; but no attempt has been made to encroach upon the prerogative of the Crown in even alluding to any amend ment or alteration of the Canons of the Church by addition or otherwise. In falt, no real function of a Convocation has been exercised, and even the show of practical utility has been confined to suggestions, and CORRESPONDENCE. Letters addressed to the Editor should be accompanied by the real name and address of the writer, not for publication, but as a guarantee of p.od faith ; this is indispensably requisite in any statement of facts.

THE WELLINGTON TESTIMONIAL To the EDITOR of the LIVERPOOL STANDARD. SIR,— Now that the " last rites" have been paid to the " Great Duke," it may not be out of place to inquire what is doing in the Wellington Testimonial. I was told, some time since, that the town was parcelled into districts, and that influential members of the com mittee were chosen to wait upon the inhabitants for donations. Is it so ? If not, would it not be desirable to immediately adopt such a plan ?—I am, Sir, yours very respectfully, T. H. S. Liverpool, N 4 ovember 22, 1852 _4,_ THE MEETING AT THE AMPHITHEATRE. To the EDITOR of the LIVERPOOL STANDARD SIR,—An important meeting is to be held in the Amphi theatre to-morrow (Tuesday), to protest against the prac tice of auricular confession in the Church of England, as exhibited in the case of Mr. Prynne, at Plymouth. The promoters of this meeting are justly of opinion that Mr. Prynne's delinquencies, and the Bishop of Exeter's com plicity, call for public exposure and reprobation. But I want to know why the business of the day should be restricted to this single item of the catalogue of evils under which the Church of England is now languishing. The public do not make this arbitrary and indefensible distinction, and they will not feel the force of the logic, nor admit the wisdom or candour of the policy which did. . . Are not priestly absolution and baptisinal regeneration to be found in the prayer-book ? These ate not scriptural but Popish doctrines. One of our bishops expels Mr. Bennett for unsound ness, hut another of equal authority in our church receives him, without any public recantation of his errors. Is not the confidence of the laity fearfully convulsed by this alarming inconsistency ? Is the public mind satisfied with the incomes of the bishops, or the general distribu tion of ecclesiastical revenues ? It is not, and no sensible churchman will rice a shilling in augmentation of poor stipends until these abominable abuses are corrected. Sir, let the rod of truth and justice strike impartially, whether the offender be within or without the pale of the establishment ; and let not the censures of to-morrow (Tuesday) fall short of any of the flagrant evils I have enumerated The fact, however, is, that a revision of the Church of England, or her ruin, is inevitable. Romish poison must be purged out, her finances adjusted, and her machinery repaired. Otherwise the Tractarians will soon be enough in possession to deserve and provoke the retributive jus tice of England. These convictions are spreading and deepening in the public mind ; and it is unwise on the part of our leaders to discourage serious efforts for the removal of all reason able causes of dissatisfaction. One of these efforts un doubtedly is to speak the whole truth to- rn orrow (Tuesday). With respect to the proposed convocation, I will only say that clerical legislation alone on this matter will not answer, but that it is most desirable that a conference of laity and clergy should consult for the soundness, peace, and prosperity of the Church of England. In the interim, however, let plain-dealing honest churchmen deliver a bold and uncompromising protest, and make themselves heard in high places. It is vain and wicked to attempt to cloak or palliate the faults, falsities and frauds which thrive within the national establishment. The light and moral sense of the present day compels sane men to a can did and honest course. Filial regard to our invaluable church demands these repairs, and the immediate extinc tiono f those pregn leaven germs e n of a d of afrightfulrk season future has which the Romish her bosom. Be not deterred then from your duty. Let the voice of offended and insulted bible truth rise above the Babel of selfish, lukewarm, superstitious pretensions of designing men. "Magna estveritas, et prevalebit." Until this manly course is followed, we are in a false, pain ful, and dangerous position. I stand self convicted in the presence of a friendly dissenter, oppressed with shame and sorrow. The hostile dissenter makes me tremble for what is to come.—l remain, yours, truly, Liverpool, Nov. 22, 1852. A CHURCH REFORMER.
