ROYAL COMPLIMENT TO THE PEOPLE

AND METROPOLITAN POLICE.

Mr. Secretary Walpole has communicated, in the
following terms, her Majesty's approval of the ecsoluet of
the pollee at the funeral of the late Field-marshal Arthur,
Hake of Wellington:
" Whitehall, November 22, 1862.
"Gentlemen,—ln obedience to the Queen's express com-
mands, I have great satisfaction in signifying to you her
Majesty's entire approbation of the steeliest manner In
which the arrangements for preserving good order throughout
the metropolis were mad* by the commissioners of police,
end executed by thus who acted under them on the me-
morable occasion of the Duke of Wellington's funeral. Her
Majesty has also eimusaisded me to express her strong sense
of the admirable conduct of all her people who showed
such real feeling and tree respect to that illustrious man who
was carried amidst a whole nation's tears with such pomp
and honour to the grave.—l have the honour to be, gentle-
men, your obedient servant, (Signed) 8. H. WALrut.n."
The Commissioners of Police.

SERIOUS POACIIING AFFRAY AT SIR Jon PA-
ainorox's.—A serious affray took place a few nights ago
is the preserves of the Right Hon. Sir John Pakingtun, at
Westwood, Worcestershire, between three of the right hon.
baronet's watchers nod some poachers. The matter btu
been under investigation before the magistrates at Druit-
wich, who have committed for trial at the Worcestershire
Assist's too men, named Charles Cook and John Smith, on
the charge of attempting to murder one of the watchers by
shooting at him. It appears that in consequence of the re-
cent visit of some poachers the underkeeper and two
watchers were lying in wait in a cover, when the prisoners
approached a keeper named Nott, who seised Smith, where-
upon a struggle ensued. Nutt was knocked down with •
stick, and had his arm broken by • blow from a gun barrel.
While on the ground, Smith called to Cook to blow oat
Nott's brains, and Cook thereupon put a tap on his gun
and polled the %rigor. The cap exploded, but not the gun,
or Nott must have been killed. Both prisoners were sub-
@equally arrested.

THE INUNDATION IN NOTTS.—NOTTING HAM, TUES-
DAT.—The waters have sgaln risen to a considerable height
in this neighbourhood, and this morning, at eight o'cloek,
they were within three feet and a half of the height at-
tained on Saturday week. Some further destruction of
property will be the eoneequonee. Al, however, we have
had no rain sines Sunday, it is to be hoped that the flood
will soon pin nbside.
London, England, 1852-11-25

Mont-de•Mareen Nov. 22, evening.
Sines yesterday we have had dreadful weather weather.
The wind blows with such violence that a large number of
trees have been torn up by the roots. The rain falls incem
nutty. It is a real and disastrous tempest. The chapati-
, lion of the people is excellent. In the immensity of our
deserts, where the habitations lie far and wide from the
principel town of the commune, the bad weather will bare
caused numerous abstentions.

Lille, Nov. 23, 1 o'clock.
The difficulty of circulation is the country roads inun-
dated by the rains has been a great obstacle to the vote.
Gap, Nov. 21, one o'clock.
The only danger that we had to fear has fatally happened
to thwart the electior. The heavy rains of the last few days
have redoubled in violence since yesterday, and to day the
torrents are such that the inhabitants of whole villages, and
very many of them, not being able to come to the principal
town, cannot possibly vote.
Lemeges, Nov. 23.
Floods of rain have not ceased to fall since yesterday
morning. The streams have overflowed in many places,
and interrupted communication.
Bordeaux, Nov. 22, Two o'Clock.
The storm has continued ever race the morning. l'eople
can scarcely put a foot out of their houses. Muuy of the
electors will not be able to vote.
It will be a memorable page in the history of
universal snffrage and of electoral enthusiasm when
it shall be recorded that in the face of these physical
difficulties, and in the absence of any apparent
publio excitement, more than $0 per cent. of the
adult male population of France voted on the 21st
and 22nd of December. Yet this I have no doubt
will be made to appear when the returns are made up..
Several men were arrested in Paris on Sunday and
Monday for canvassing openly for negative votes.
The Legislative Body will assemble to-morrow for
the examination of the votes on the plebiscite. A
number of deputies have already arrived. There
will be only a short sitting to-morrow for forming
the bureaux. It is thought that four or five days,
will suffice for the operation of examining the votes,
and that on the Ist ur the 2nd of December, at the
latest, the result may be proclaimed in a public sit-
ting. It will, it is said, be conveyed immediately to
St. Cloud by the whole of the Legislative Body.
Tho rumour that the empire will be actually pro-
claimed on December 2 gains ground, and it is
thought that on December :1 a Senates! Consultant
will propose the consequential changes in the consti-
tution.

NEW YORK, Nov. 13.
We notice more activity in the miney market for several
days put ; the demand, however, is freely met by tho very
abundant supple seeking employment, and without causing
any change in the rates • f interest.
'rhe private bankers, in particular, have large unem-

BELGIUM.

We read in the Independance of Brussels:
The central section of the budget of foreign affairs having
demanded from the minister somo information as to the
state of the commercial negotiations, and M. de Brouckere
having replied that he had no explanation to give, some
persons have concluded from this reply that, for the present
at least, there was no idea of any further commercial nego-
tiations between the two countries. This is an error;
the reply of the Minister of Foreign Affairs
bad no. such signification ; it merely meant to say
that the cabinet thought it proper to preserve the
most absolute silence oe what is raid and what is done on
the subject of the commercial relations of Belgium with
France, for it in a question which cannot be, and is not,
neglected.

LONDON, THURSDAY. NOVEMBER 25.
THE symbol of eternity is a serpent with its tail in
its mouth. Lord PALMEISTON.B public life has been
so protracted, that he may, with no very violent
figure of speech, be said to have spent a little eternity
in the House of Commons, and to be on that ground
entitled to quarter the serpent with its tail in its
mouth on his Viseountal shield. His conduct on
Tuesday night leaves no doubt on the matter. His
gosh was assuredly more redolent of serpentine
wisdom the. of dovelike simplicity, and its re-
approximation to the Conservative party gracefull,
assimilated the approaching close of the Viscount s
career to its commencement under the auspices of

PORTSMOUTH, Nov. 24.—The Dolphin, brigantine,
Lieutenant Commander Temple, arrived at Spithead late
last night from the coast of Africa. She is last from Ascen-
sion, which place she left on the 15th ultimo. She has
brought home about 30 invalids, :among whom is Com-
mander Harvey, from the Penelope. Admiral Bruce, in
the Penelope, with the Teaser, tender, and Tortoise, were
at Ascension when the Dolphin left. The Leopard, 12,
steam frigate, fitting as flag ship for the coast of Africa
station, hauled oil into the stream to-day to have her com-
passes swung. The Victory, dag ship, Captain Martin,
was paid
.ap wages to-day. The Orestes, moveable cosy
depot, was taken out of dock to-day. The Firebrand,
steam frigate, Captain Codd, which arrived yesterday from
Gibraltar, was inspected at Bpithead to-day ►y the Com-
mander-in-Chief, prior to sailing for Woolwich to be paid off.

FOUR DAYS LATER.

LIVERPOOL. TRUILSDAT 110101010.
At about midnight the United States mail steam-
ship, Arctic, Capt. Luce,arriced in our ricer from New
York direct, whence she sailed at noun, on the 13th
instant, with 70 pessenisers, but no specie on freight,
and the usual mails from the United States and
British America.

By this arrival wo have four days later news
front New York, and all parts of the southern and
western states, than we previously received by the
arrival here of the royal mail steamer Niagara.
The Humboldt from Southampton, had arrived in
New York, and the It. M. S. Canada, Le:ice, with
the mails, had arrived at Boston.
Lake Erie had been swept by two terrific gales,
and the consequences to the shipping, so far as ascer-
tained, have been most disastrous and heart-rending.
Many vessels are known to have been entirely
wrecked, and others were either driven ashore or
else damaged to such an extent as to render them
unfit for use. But the most melancholy part of the
announcement is the fact that several lives were lust.

A despatch from New Orleans states that the
steamship
.Crescent City had been libelled for a re-
cent collision with the Ocean Queen. The alleged
damages sustained by the latter vessel arc estimated
at 2.1,0U0 dollars.

PrOperty to the value of about sixty thousand dol-
lars had been destroyed, by au incendiary fire, at
Charleston.

Front tho west we learn that Thomas Carnal, a
son-in-law of Governor Foote, of Mississippi, was
killed by James Carnal, at Kentucky Bend, last
Storiday. The difficulty originated in a family
quarrel.
IVe find the following list of probable cabinet
officers under President Pierce afloat in the journals:

THE BEST MEMORIAL FOR

A proposal is now before the public for a memo-
rial to Wellington far more worthy than statues or paint.
lags or any other such complimentary devices. The inter•
tion is to raise a subscription—which her Majesty the
Queen has commenced by giving a thousand pounds—to be
be used for the establishment of " a school or college, to
bear the name of the Duke of Wellington, for the gra-
tuitous, or nearly gratuitous, education of orphan children
of indigent and meritorious officers of the army. Institu•
lions more or leas national already exist in which the ad-
vantages of such an education can be obtained by the chil-
dren of soldiers, of naval Ofiftre, and of the clergy ; but no
such provision has been made is favour of officers of the
army, a class of men peculiarly liable to casualties, by
which their families are often left in a et/edition of the most
painful pecuniary embarrassment, and under circumstances
in which the necesstrily stringent regulations of the War•
office preclude the possibility of any relief front public
tends." Sorely such a memorial is far better than any
another of indifferent statues.

The only fact which at all

In the first instance, the great imellides then int...

after the supply from that MIMS was over, and
both metals were only got by diligent and amideous
exertion, the price settled and seatinued4pstosaedl

that from the difficulty of obtaining the precious
metals, the peke rose from the beginning of this
century, till after the iocrtased supplies of gold
from iteatia were obtained on easier terms, and in.
creased supplies of silver from America were obtained
by improved metallurgical processes. Admitting
that a small quantity of gold has been latterly ob-
tained at a comparatively little coat—though, when
the number of disappointed diggers is considered,
that may be doubtful—still, it is so small in propor-
tion to the whole quantity in use as money,
and so inconceivably small in relation to the
whole currency of the world, all of which mat
be affected before the standard can be altered
—that it can have only an inappreciable haw

production of food and clothing, and now they are

IRELAND.

Fee. 7.
The writ for Kinsale has been received, and the
election will tike place about the close of neat
week ; bt.t there is fb idea of a contest entertained,
and Mr. John Lase Heard will, it is expected, be re-
turned without the slightest opposition. The elec-
tors cons,der themselves pledged to Mr. Heard for
this election, but when the general election comes
round it will depend on himself in the mean time
whether he can again come forward with any like-
lihood of success.

Arrangements for the laying down of the subma-
rine tele-raph between England and Ireland have
now been so far completed that it is confidently ex-
pected the wink will be fully executed in May next.
The directors have decided upon bringing the tele-
graph to Lowth, in preference to Kingstown or any
other part of the coast.
Two other commercial failures are reported in
Cork, one in the cora trade, in which the liabiities
arc raid to be 3,000/., and the ar,ets 1,100/. ; the
other in the leather trade, the particlurs of which
have not been ascertained.

The Morsateamer sailed yesterday from Waterford
with 130 emigrants fur America, via Liverpool.
A meeting of the magistrates of the county of
Cork wens held on Thursday, for the purpose of
taking into consideration the propriety of memo-
rialising the government to reduce the lx,lice force
stationed in the county. The chair was taken by
Lord 11,11111011, who, however, expressed himself
strongly opposed to the object of the meeting, ob-
serving that " at a time when subscriptions were
collecting for the tenant hope, and when persons
were rung about the country cautioning the farmers
not to pdy rent, it was neither judicious nor prudent
to place themselves in a more unprotected state than
they were already in.'"fhe meeting having divided
on the motion for a memorial, there were 23 votes
on either side, and the chairman having given the
casting into against it, the motion was lost, and
the burden of the police force will of course remain
untouched.

TO THI IDITO4 OW Tin SIMMS.

SIR,—I am delighted to see your able pen and
powerful influence at work, to moderate this wild military
propaganda that is at work. What do we want with
militia? Are we going to be as mad as our continental
neighbours, and ruin our population ? What can it lead to,
but exciting a martial ardour, to be satisfied only by a me-
lancholy reality.
All we require is that our naval and military departments
and forces should be efficient as far as they go ; let our phy-
sical power be well handled, sod we need not fear the
results. Instead of militia, we require sailors' home.. A
standing army we have and must have, but it need not be
large. Let us have also a standing navy, and no foreign
force will then be able to laud of sufficient
strength but our standing army will give a good account
of it. Neither Louis Napoleon nor the French nation has
the least idea of going to war with us. It is less likelto/
than when Louis l'hilippe was on the throne; and al
you find the ministen abusing the press, it ia very gen.M;
believed that the government bare assisted to get up the
alarm cry, and the wish for rifle ems, to draw off public
att.ntion from certain other disagreeable matters.
I trust your advice will be speedily followed, and the
people at once declare by great meetings that they are not
going to bare their time turn-fooled away with—shoulder
arms—right sad left shoulders forward—march.

ROYSTON AND HITCHEN RAILWAY.

The thirteenth ordinary half-yearly meeting of
proprietors was held yesterday, at the Wears of the cons-
pany, in the Poultry; Mr. WILOHIR., M.P., in the chair.
The report stated that the dtrectors had received 5,8261.
(being 8,0001. less income tea) from the Great Northern
Railway Company, so half a year's rent for the Royston
aad !Umbels line; and 1,9111. (being 2,0001. less arrears of
calls sad income tax) for half a year's rent of the Bbepreth
Extension line; and that warrants for the same would be
forthwith issued at 6 per cent. per annum, less income tax.
The report was received and adopted, and the retiring
directors re-elected.

The CHAIRMAN then said that the meeting would now
be made special, in order to submit to the consideration of
the shareholders • proposition which the directors had re-
ceived from the Great Northern Railway Company, to in-
troduce a clause in the Shepreth extension lea's to enable
that company at any time upon giving three months'
notice to redeem the rent, not only of that line, but also
to redeem the rent of the Roystun and Hitchers line, at'
twenty-five years' purchase or fifty per cent. premium.
These were the terms proposed by the Great Northern
Company, and it would remain with the shareholders
to state whether they were prepared to agree to them
or not.

After some discussion a resolution wis agreed to that the
meeting could not reoogni•e the claim for this insertion of a
clause of redemption in the 'cure of •he oompaay's lines,
and that it hoped the directors of the Great Northern Cont.
any would withdraw it, but that if ant steps would he
taken to carry out the silreement of the 27th keb., 1849, for
a lease of the iihepreth lute.
The meeting then separated.

BELGIUM.

The president and secretary of the Central Com-
mittee of the Belgian printers, went on Saturday to
the ministry of the interior, at Brussels, to obtain
information respecting the literary treaty with
France. The chef de division endeavoured, says the
Emancipation, to convince tnem that the suppression
of the power of reprinting works would not be inju-
rious to the printing trade; but they declared that
it would cause its ruin, and that of the trades de-
pendent on it.

SWITZERLAND.

The final result of the elections in 'Freiburg con-
firm the anticipations of yesterday's letter. Of
10,222 votes polled, Charles had 6,9411, Folly 3,311,
Schaller 1,797, and ltouiller 1,7/47. The Sonderbund

ITALY.

VENICE, Avourr 23.
The Gazette publishes a sovereign resolution, de-
claring that the loan decreed by chiefs of the revolu-
tionary government of Venice (with the exception of
the debt proceeding from the distraction of the depots)
can have no legal efficacy or validity, that conse-
ckuently it can furnish no basis for obliga-
tions of any kind, either against the legi-
timate government or private individuals, that
all such obligations, whether paper money is-
sued by the revolutionary government under the
denomination of "patriotic paper," or bills of ex-
change intended to cover such paper, are to be re-
puted null and void. Some of this paper still re-
mains in the Bank of Venice, which being itself an
establishment founded by a revolutionary govern-
ment. must be itself dissolved. This resolution bears
the signature of the royal imperial lieutenabt, Tog-
genburg.

NAPLF.S.
NAPLES, Acover 23.
The minister of police has received from Brindisi
and other places, that a number of handkerchiefs
have been found ^ ith " Murat, King of Naples,"
printed thereon. The consequence is several arrests
have taken place, and at the particular town of
Brindisi, the arch-priest of the district is one of the
supposed leaders of the Nluratists. It is by means
impossible that the whole affair may be got up by
the police.
A change of ministry is spoken of as certain.
Filangieri will hear of nothing but the removal of the
whole cabinet. The Queen is understood to be op-
posed to such advice, fearing it might involve a
change of policy.
The French fleet is still in the bay. Admiral de

BERLIN, Atmvrt 28.
The Prince of Prussia, who seems to have been born
under a most unlucky star, has again met withan acci-
dent. At the manteuvres,nearStettin,on thenthinst.,
his horse, while at full gallop, shied and fell, throw-
ing the Prince with great violence. His royal high-
ness escaped without fracture, but suffers consider-
ably from the concussion, particularly in the shoul-
der, which first came in contact with the ground.
As yet there are no symptoms of an alarming cha-
racter, and it is hoped that the accident will pro-
duce no serious effects.

Baron Scbele, the Hanoverian premier, arrived at
Berlin on the 26th, and next morning had a lung
interview with M. Manteuffel. The critical state of
Zollverein affairs has occasioned this meeting.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER—Perhaps
the bona will sense me if I also take this opportunity of
referring to a subject which was mentioned yesterday, and
state that it is my intention, on the 26th instant, to lay
before the house those alterations in our system of motion
which we think the change in our eanmential system
renders Deanery. Of course, if any motion is brought for-
ward in the meantime which I feel is of an unfair chancier,
and calculated to prevent my making that statement, I shall
reserve to myself, on the part of the government, the right
of taking each course as I may think necessary. (Hear.)
