mere.. Such a consummation might probably be
secured in three months, and would bo the best and
wisest of all things open to us—would cost least
blood, least treasure, and do least wrong. But then
it would be urged that a prompt steam expedition
up the river, though terminating the war honourably
and profitably, and without laying additional intern-
brances on India, would enure so sew territory. Bo-
nod a strong fortor so we should have made a conquest
h.commerce only—not for piseamen. We could not
land from the busts men enough to make a large
accession to our dominion,—nor would the results seem
showy enough to secure more titles and pensions for
the chief commanders. Therefore we must have a
tedious, costly, deadly cumpaignir by land, though to
compass it may raise still ' the debt of India;
may keep sailors idle in well-manned steam•ships,
and soldiers risking ague whilst killing time with
private theatricals at Rangoon.
Lord lisLuousts wishes to stay longer in India,
but he will not be permitted to do so. The present
bliniateis will take care to send out a new

&irontor-General before lung. India is too large a pear
not to be plucked for the benefit of some powerful
supporter, or—what is more probable—to buy off
some formidable and needy opponent. Bat whoever the
new Ruler of Hindustan may be, Let us—opponents as
we are of the Tories—give that Tory a morsel of ad-
vice by which ho may gain the applause of all good
men of all parties, and raise the prosperity of now
half-bankrupt India. Let him believe that England is
more likely to benefit by maintaining the Burmese
Empire than by annihilating it. Our true policy is to
secure the free navigation of the rivers—and that
only. Fresh territory makers more debt—it always
has done so—and impoverishment is weakness; weak-
ness fore-runs decay and downfall. May the day be
long distant that sees the decadence of our real
power in India,—and that decadence is postponed
by those who secure the vitality of our Empire by
preventing its emasculating extension.

the maser of naval funerals at • minor theatre, might
pass unnoticed at a time of deep excitement, but
it must not serve as a model now. Let Wzmino-
TON be buried with as much ceremonial as is
required—with, all due solemnity—but let there be
no theatrical mummery.
Many who will follow the DUKE to the grave or
who will witness the ceremony, will doubtles.: be
struck with the centred between this fimeral
and that of the last Commander-in-Chief. The
Duke of YORK went, to his grave, and none
of the sympathies of the nation were with him. He
had gamed little but discredit as a soldier, and he
had earned nothing but ill-will as a man, from his
recklemness in incurring debts that he could never
pay. lie was a Commander-in-Chief simply because
he was a prince of the blood. The ease is altogether
different with the Duke of WELLINGTON. He
was made Commander -in -Chief because he
was the greatest soldier in the country. Nobody
could find fault with his appointment, and no one
has dared to find fault with the manner in which he
has filled it. There is no painful sense of in-
congruity either in the Duia's position or
his conduct since. Surely this ought to be a
warning to those who concur in recom-
mending the nomination of the next Com-
mander-in-Chief. The English people are wonder-
fully sensitive as to the went of fitness in any parti-
cular appointment. Let not any ill-judged ces of
a summer to the Duxe wound their feelings in this
respect. Let the new Commander-in-Chief be a
soldier, and one who knows and likes his duty. It
would be a strange compliment to give the Duke of
Wzmasorox • public funeral and then to job the
post he has left vacant

and received a similar ovation from the superior
clans. This morning the Prince attended mass at
the church of St. Etienne. When he came out the
people uncovered, and greeted him with the usual
acclamations. He started for Lyons at eleven, and
received on his way the homage of the industrial
populations of St Chamond, Rive-dallier, and
Givers, at the latter of which places the train
stopped some minutes. Finally, amid the crash
of military bands and the salvos of artil-
lery, the President entered the walls of Lyons, at
two this afternoon. Immediately after having re-
ceived the civil and military authorities, who waited
he him at the terminus, the President mounted on
horseback and rode to the prefecture. Acclamations
of " Vire rEmpereur!" greeted him as he rode
thlongh the streets of Lyons. It may appear surpri-
