birth, education, labours, and services of Harvey, whose
fortune it was, not only to have discovered the great tact of
the circulation of the blood, bat to hate outlived the envy
with which all true discoverers are assailed. Having referred ,
to the other distingui•hed benefactors of the college, Mead
and Sydenhas and Belford, ito' he compared the scientific
and inductive process, by which Hervey proceeded in his
discovery with the hasty generalisations of the mesmerists,
the hydropathists, and the home° 4pathista of the day, for

DEATH OF LORD RAGLAN.

The brief illness of Mold-Marshal Lord Bail=
hes tenalasted fa death. Os Friday, we were salhal et to
snaosses tsetse Int has his lordship's iadiepositios, led
in the mime of flatudsy to report that the eceusaadsr-ine
chief of our 'stingray was so mere.
Fitzroy James Henry Somerset, youngest eon of the
fifth Bahia( Beaufort, by the daughter of the Hon. Admiral
Bose:sun, was bora the 80th of September, 1788.
" A prouder lineage" (it was remarked in the Daily Fries
when Lord Raglan was made a Field Marshal) " few nes
could be souseimas of then the Somenete and &pours,
who went of the same stock, and a prouder man was never
Bean in Bogland than the Duke of Somerset of two eentrisin
ago, who had the highways cleared before him that he might
sot be looked on by vulgar eyes, and who rebuked A/seemed
wife for tapping his shoulder with a fan, saying,' Madame,
my first wife wu a Percy, and she took sash a liberty.
For the matter of pride we may go bask to Cardinal Beau-
fort, who was of the first generation of the JarAly
from royalty, be being the

Among the proud Soniersets was he who in early life com-
m►nded a little army raised by his father for the service of
Charles 1., and who in after years applied the condensation
of steam to a practical purpose, though his invention was
used only for raising water. This Edward Somerset was
the last noble who held out in his caulk against Cromwell,
and the stroeghold was Raglan Castle, which gave a title to
our commander-in-chief.•

Lord Fitzroy Somerset was a cornet in the 4th Light
Dragoons at sixteen, and rue in military rank as
the boyish sons of dukes will rise over the beads
of their seniors. He was a captain at twenty, went
with the troops to Portugal, and fought in the first
great battle—that of Tel —in which the French and
English armies fairly and singly tried their strength spinet
each other. Before be was two-and.twenty Wellington had
taken him for an side-de-eamp, and afterwards he became
the military unstary of the g I. The duties of his
various functions kept him diligently occupied during the
whole of the Peninsular war, and, doubtless, trained him to
th et habit of industry and the business aptitude which die-
tinguished the rest of his life. After his appointment he
was present at every one of the greet Peninsular battles—at
Vimeira, Tal , and Busaco, the attack and cap-
ture of Oporto, pursuit of Marshal Soule, retreat to and
occupation of the lines of Tones Vedres, the operations in
pursuit of Marshal Mauena, the battle of Fuentes d'Onor,
the first siege of Badejos, the siege and capture of Ciudad
Rodrigo, the siege and capture of Badajcs, the battle of
Salamanca, the capture of Medrid, and the Retire, driving
the enemy from Valladolid to Burgos, the siege of that
castle, the advance in 1813, the battles of Vittoria and the
Pyrenees, the action of Irun, the pus's' of the Bidaseoa,
the Nivelle and the Nice; in tee advance in 1814, the
battles of Orthee and Toulouse, and every other
engagement which took place during that campaign.
In the interval of these important operations, he was
the medium of all the Duke's commands and ge-
mints. Wellington, it is well known, had a high opinion
of his military secretary, and used to say that, but for Lord
Fitzroy Somerset the successes of hie seven years warfare
would not have been obtained. If we regard this opinion in
connexion with the kind of duty in which Wellington
employed the talents of his protege we shall be able to
arrive at a good point of view for judging of the young
lord's merits. Lord Fitzroy Sou became a
major in 1811 and • lieutenant colonel in 1812, returned to
England after Bonaparte's abdication in 1814, and marrying
in the August of that year the second daughter of Lord
Mornington, became the nephew by mareispe of the Doke
of Wellington. On Napoleon's return from Elba be again
placed himself by the side of the Commander-in-Chief, and
as his aide war on the field daring the three days that ended
the war. In the terrible day of June 18 he lost his right
arm at the farmstead of La Hays Sainte. He came to
England, and was at once made full colonel, extra side•de-
camp of the Prince Regent, and Knight Commander of the
Bath. He was secretary of embassy at Paris from 1816 to
1819; attended the Doke of Weilington to Vienna and
Verona in 1822, and in 1826 proceeded with the duke to
St. Petersburg, where he was sent to congratulate the late
Emperor Nicholas on his accession to the throne. He was
appointed in 1819 secretary to the (Duke of Wellington,

Master-General of the Ordnance until 1827, and in
August of that year he wu made military secre-
tary to the Commander-in-Chief, the functions of
which office he performed until September 30, 1852.
Rising at intervals in military rank, he bream. in 1838, a
Lieutenant-General. When the Duke of Wellington died
and Lord Bindings wu made Commander-in-Chief, Lord

Fitzroy Somerset became Master General of the Ordeence,
end was raised to the peerage by the title cf Baron Raglan.
Nearly forty years after it was supposed by himself and
the world that his wars were ended, and Diu* years after he
had lad his eldest son at the battle of Feroseehab, he um
called to take active service abroad. Lord Raglan held in fuller
!Ileum's then any man living the traditions of the Great
Duke. He had seen armies not only commanded but made.
None knew better our belligerent resourcer, the actual state
of our army, and the entire military system of the country.
Accordingly he was selected for the command of the Queen's
fortes sent to the Eut, which he assumed in March, 1854.
It is unnecessary to pursue further a career which bas been
the subject of daily public report and comment for mere
than a twelvemonth.
The intimation of Lord Raglan's demise reached his
widow at noon on Saturday, by the band of the Hon.
Robert Dundee, who was commissioned to perform the sad
office by the First Lord of the Admiralty. Within a very
short period his Royal Highness Prince Albert called, per-
sonally to convey her Majesty's condol in an autograph
letter; and further to show that this expression of feeling was
not merely etiquette, be again repeated his inquiries in the
evening. Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent sent to
make inquiries as soon as the painful iatelligence reached
her ; and their Royal Highnesses the Duchess of Cambridge
and the Princess Mary and the li.reditary Grand Duchess
of Mecklenberg Straits were among the earliest to offer
their condolences. Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Glou-
cester and bis Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge also
sent to make inquiries. The Queen's anxiety en Lady
Raglan's behalf was further exhibited by two messages in
the course of yesterday.

Among the families placed iu mourning by the death of
Lord Ragitn are those of the Duke and %idea of Welling-
ton, the Duke and Duchess of Beaufort, the Earl and
Countess of Westmoreland, the Marquis and Marchioness of
Cbolmoadeley, Sir Walter and Lady Mary Farquhar, Sir
William and Lady Georgina Codrington, Lady Granville
Somerset, the Lag; Louisa Finch, Lord and Lady Blanche
Dupplin, and Lord and Lady Caltborpe.

gloom over the town: Sincere regret was felt that he wee
not permitted to see the fall of Sebutopol, now, it is hoped,
so near at band. It was remembered that his name is
associated with some of the most glorious achievements of
the British army. His courage, patriotism, and amiable
character were universally acknowledged. General Simp-
son, who succeeds Lord Raglan, is well known here, be
having superintended the embarkation of the 7th and 23rd
Fusiliers, and other regiments, for the But. He is a
Waterloo officer, is about 65 years of age, and is of • tall
and slender figure.

YESTERDAYS HYDE-PARR AFFRAY.

We have received somber of letters from eye-
lithium es this subject. They are all from person of the
" better" olswee, who writs merely as spectators, not having
themeless been penonally infested. All the writers concur
in thinking that but for the interference of the polies there
would have bee. no disturbing, and that the coodaot of the
polite was wawassaatebly Mash. The. possible conse-
quence, of these oelliskas as so rave that we have deemed
it best to avoid premstaa soement. We, will closely watch
the iagstigationa that must, of agessity, he made.

The gathering in Hyde-park to-day commenced
about two o'clock, and until four, people of all duns and
conditions trooped in long sad eantinsons lines from all
quart. cc of the park to the north bank of the Serpentine.
The throng gradually Increased until it numbered at least
100,000 persons. It was of a salscellanTn3 character, but •
large majority nasiste4 p/ raspaetabluaitebaake sad what
aro painterly termed middle-class persons. Until three
o'clock no noisy or decided demonstration was made ; the
polies were reclining at their ease under the shade of large
trees, and the people were quietly lounging their time away.
Presently a stir and a rush attracted attention, and off
scampered every one in the direction whence it proceeded.
The cense of this movement was non apparent : a boy had
caught &large eel,which was tossed about amidst uproarious
ddight, until an intrepid policeman stopped the fun and
carried it off in triumph. This incident, however, had the
effect of rousing everybody into activity. The policemen
were drawn up is formidable array, and orders were given
to kelp the carrisge.road clear.

These orders were occasionally very roughly carried out,
and the want of forbearance at times displayed by the polies
did more to excite the indignation of the populace than the
sight of dishing equipage., and their lolling imamate. Re-
spectably cheesed females, and me. seemingly peaceably
inclined, were very roughly handled. Few carriages ap-
peared on the drive; not twenty pained along it throughout
the entire afternoon. Some gigs and phaetons went along
unheeded, the people evincing peculiar discrimination in
the selection of individuals on whom to vent their disap-
probation.

Later in the afternoon, mayoral skirmishes between the
polity and the people occurred, and at time a g aaaaa 'riot
seemed inevitable. The good sense of the mob, however,
prevented any very serious consequences. S I persons
were apprehended for otstructing the police in the " exe-
cution of their duty," end were conveyed to the station-
house in cabs.

Upwards of a dczen of those vehicles, their luckless
inmates closely guarded, quitted the park, amidst yells and
bootlegs. The persons thus apprehended were some evi-
dently respectable, sod some, perhaps, the reverse. The
police, however, showed no mercy or discrimination; people
weie token into custody for yelling, biasing, or more boiste-
rous prow( dings.

Some of those taken were is a miserable plight ; come
had their clothes torn completely off their backs, whilst
others presented a most dilapidated appearance. An old
man, named George Russell, was knocked (limn by a violent
blow from a truncheon ; the blood streamed down his (ace.
Mr. Superintendent Williams droned the wound, and sent
the poor fellow home.

One man was pursued for throwing stones at the police,
and made a desperate attempt to escape. lie jumped into
the Serpentine, and struck out boldly for the opposite shore.
He bad scarcely reached the centre, however, before he
exhibited symptoms of exhaustion, and he wee picked up
by Superintendent Parsons, who put off in one of the
Humane Society's boat. for that purpose. He was conveyed
to t►e .tation•bouse.

The dainsge done to the park railings was considerable.
The hurdles placed along the path from the Achilles statue
to the bridge were nearly all destroyed.

In the motley tbroog we noticed several members of the
aristocracy, quiet spectators of the busy and significant
Boone. Altogether, the demonstration was of a must

... .
peaceful, but withal, powerful, character. Superintendents
Globe, Walker, and Rushee bad the chief command of the
polies.
By sin o'clock the immense crowd gradually began to
disperse. When, however, we left the park, the right
bank of the Serpentine was still very numerously thronged.
(smolt ♦ COIUMPONDENT.)

About sii o'clock last evening an oecurreace took place
which at first seemed to threaten serious consequences. A
party of soldiers, about a dem it number, consisting of
Guards 1114 the 6Gth, some of them with their wiers, and
two or three decorated with the Crimean medal, were
standing beneath a clump of trees near the Receiving.
house, when an indiscriminate attack was made by a body

of police on a crowd of respectably-dressed men and women,
and many were knocked down by the police bludgeons.
Same of the crowd is their retreat got mixed up with the
party of soldiers. one of whom, wearing the medal, com-
pared the conduct of the police to that of the Russians at
lukennaen. This observation having been overheard by
the police, one of Rum immediately seized the Crimean
hero, with the intention of dragging him off. This attempt
his comrades resisted, and after • seoSe the police thought
it prudent to relinquish the attempt. While these pro-
ceedings were going 00, an immense crowd had assem-
bled, amongst whom were several soldiers, a great
ipany of whom were sauntering about the park. Three
Risen were at once given by the people for the
Grenadian, with loud groans for the police. The
soldiers then moved away, but were followed by
• large concourse of people, loudly cheering them.
A large number of the soldiers got mixed up with the
crowd, who paraded the perk amidst loud cheers, and cries
of " Down with the Sunday Bill." The police in the mean-
time had sent a connonoicatios to the guard-house at the
Magszine, and ultimately a sergeant of the guard arrived,
and after remonstrating with the police for their behaviour,
persuaded some of the soldiers to accompany lint to the
barracks to prevent mischief, which seemed imminent from
the excited state of both soldiers and people. Many of the
soldiers who remained scattered about the park, seemed
highly exasperated with the police, and expressed their
opinions in no measured terms. The danger of • collision
was the more imminent, as the majority of the soldiers
were youcg recruits, just taken from the ranks of the
people, not yet broken in by discipline, and whose sympathies
were entirely with the clue trey had just left.
