THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 16, 1852.

mains of his Grace the Duke of WELLINGTON,
and should assure her MAJESTY of their cordial aid
and concurrence in giving to the solemnity
a fitting degree of importance." The public fune-
ral of the Duke of WELLINGTON assumes, in con-
sequence, as her MAJESTY had graciously designed,
a national character. That last mark of respect
and gratitude has been decreed to the mortal re-
mains of the Great Soldier, not only by the
SOVEREIGN whom he served, but by the repre-
sentatives of the people for whom he fought,
and never were the services of the Duke more
gracefully set forth, never were the excellencies
of his character more felicitously exemplified than
•in the eloquent and touching language in which
Mr. DISRAELI alluded to them last evening.
" The Duke has been called fortunate," said Mr.
DISRAELI, " but Fortune is a divinity which has
ever favoured those who are at the same time
sagacious and intrepid, inventive and patient. It
was his own character that created his career,"
—a significant truth, which reminds us of an
epigrammatic sentence uttered elsewhere by the
same speaker—a sentence teaching the same
invigorating lesson, "We . make our for.
tunes and we call them Fate." Not to
fortune, but to the characteristics of his
own nature, the high position of the Duke of
WELLINGTON must be ascribed ; "it was his
supreme self-control alone that regulated his lofty
fame." Then pausing in his panegyric to li
give a rapid and masterly sketch of the
requirements of a great general, Mr. Dis-
RAELI enumerated those varied and almost con-
flicting qualifications, the combination of which
is so rare, but which combination is irre-
sistible. Having thus excited in his hearers a
wondering admiration for the abilities of the
soldier, most touchingly and most beautifully,
the speaker then brought before them the image
of the man, as they had last seen him, as they
had long known him. " Who, indeed," he ex-
claimed, " can ever forget that venerable and
classic head, ripe with time, and radiant, as it
were, with glory."

In the same strain of mingled admiration and
sorrow, the right [hon. gentlenian concluded his
address—an address eminently worthy of the
occasion, because it testified not only the
emotions of the speaker's own heart, but by
his lips, as the leader of the people's repre-
sentatives it gave utterance to the people's feel-
ings with regard to WELTANGTox—feelings at once
of joy and sorrow, of gratitude for the glory of
the past, and grief for the bereavement of the
present.

LATEST F ROM AMERICA.

(BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.)
ARRIVAL OF THE EUROPA.
LIVEPOOL, Nov. 15.
This day at noon, the Royal Mail steamship
Europa, Ryrie commander, arrived in the Mersey
from New York direct, whence she sailed on the
3d inst. at noon, with 35 passengers and the usual
mails from the inited States and British America.
The steamship Africa was passed within forty
miles of New York.
The delay of the Europa in entering the river
arose from the dense fog that prevailed.
The Presidential contest had terminated in the
election of General Franklin Pierce, the Democratic
candidate, for President, and Senator King as Vice-
President. They had an immense majority.
Judge Conklin had returned to Washington, ha-
ving settled the difficulty with Cuba, but the terms
are unknown.
L Mr. Everett will succeed the late Daniel Webster
las Secretary in the Department of State.
When the Europa left New York the markets
were dull ; the exchange on London was quoted at
noi to with little doing.
The cotton market was firmer, and prices had
ceased to retrogade.
Flour had advanced from 12 to 20 cents.
Naval Stores were in better request than pre-
viously, but without advance.
Provisions steady, and in moderate request for
shipping purposes.
Freights were slightly improved, but rates to
London and Liverpool remained nominally as last
quoted.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

SPORTING NOTES.—No. CCCXLIX.

Great mystery prevails with respect to the principal
Steeplechase to be decided tc..norrow at Warwick. At
first, I imagined, as Maurice Dally and British Yeoman
were so favourably handicapped, they would be the nags
destined to figure foremost in the fray. I have since
expressed a slight penchant for Abd-el-Kader as well.
Now, as far as I can discover, the Yeoman is not
meant. Abd-el-Kader seems to be in the same fix ; and
there were some reports out yesterday, that the party
had not got their money on Maurice Dally ; that they
wanted longer odds than could be got; and so on.
Taking all this into consideration, I do not feel disposed
to depend upon either of these three to pull my judgmer*
through, although I confess I have still a strong fancy
that Maurice Daffy will run to win, and if he does so,
he will be about the mark. Therefore I should advise
the looking after that game animal Peter, who, at list
31b, is weighted quite enough, but not sufficiently to
stop him from having a good chance of victory, The
money is on, so we may expect he will do his best. Pro-
ceed, at 9st 121 b, was backed rather stiffly yesterday ;
and as he seems to be meant, will, I presume, finish in
one of the three first places. In short, in PETER, PRO-
CEED, and MAURICE DALLY, I anticipate seeing the
first, second, and third horses. The race for this Steeple-
chase last year produced one of the most exciting and
quickest contests of the kind on record-2--the time being
8 minutes and 57 seconds—Maurice Dally then, with
9st up, finished a good second to Oscar, at 9st 41b, and
beating the heavy-weighted Lord George, who, carrying
12st 41b, finished third.
The Free Handicap Steeplechase of 5 sovs. each, with
25 added, with penalties for winning, the winner to be
sold by auction, &c. (three miles), will, not improbably,
terminate in the victory of GULNARE ' • Simple Peter and
Widow Machree finishing second and third, with Maria
Bennett and Frank in the next places. Simple Peter is
the only animal who has incurred a penalty, and he will
carry 51b extra for winaing at Edgware.
The Free Handicap Hurdle Race of 5 sovs. each, with
30 added, whiners of any hurdle race after the declara-
tion of the weights, 51b extra (two miles, over five flights
of hurdles) will probably be contested by about a moiety
of the acceptances. Up to the present time TOMBOY has
monopolised all the the attention of the betting world
for this race ; and if his exertions of to-day in
the race for the Great Warwick Handicap do not
tie him up, in him we may expect to see the winner ;
Courier, my first fancy, being, I understand, out of the
fray. aylad and Odiham are his most dangerous rivals;
the starting of both, however, is more than doubtful.
The filly by Don John, dam by Mundig, has the repu-
tation of being a tidy hurdle fencer.
The Hunt Cup Steeple Chase, by subscription of 10
soya. each, for all horses that have been regularly hunted
with any established pack of hounds, 11 st. 7 lb. each,
the winner to be sold for 150 sovs. &C. &c. Gentlemen
riders, professionals 6lb extra, (three miles). This race
will probably terminate in the REIVEB and VICTRESS
being first and second, with Trust-me-not in the third
position ; Sir Edward and Quick-step being close up,
fourth and fifth.

IRON SHIPBUILDING AT BIRICENHEAD.—OH Saturday,
the Faith, a beautifully modelled screw-steamer, built
for the African Mail Company, was launched from the
building-yard of Mr. John Laird, at Birkenhead. She
is intended for the station on which the Forerunner is
at present placed. Her dimensions are, length, 200 feet ;
beam, 30 feet ; and burthen, about 900 tons.
THE SCOTTISH IRON TRADE.—The rapid advance in
the price of pig iron in Scotland from 355. to 58s. per
ton has had the effect of increasing the means of produc-
tion as follows :—Additional furnaces going this year in
Ayrshire, 14 ' • additional furnaces building in Ayrshire,
8 ; additional furnaces building in Fifeshire, 4 ; total, 26.
These twenty-six furnaces will produce, on an average,
about 140 tons each per week, or an aggregate of nearly
180,000 tons per annum.

COMMITTAL OF AN AUCTIONEER AT BARNET.—At the
Barnet Petty Sessions yesterday, Mr. F. W. Thomas,
auctioneer, of 28, Leadenhall-street, and Josiah Selwyn,
Brewer, late schoolmaster at Barnet, were brought up
for final examination upon a charge of cohspiring to
defraud Messrs. Cramer and Beale, music-sellers, of
Regent-street, of a pianoforte, value twenty-five guineas,
and they were fully committed fortrial.
THE MURDER NEAR STAFFORD.—A clue has at length
been obtained to the perpetrators of the atrocious murder
of the Blackburns, at the Ashflats, near Stafford. The
county police, who have been indefatigable in their ex-
ertions, succeeded in capturing on Saturday night last an
Irishman, who was an associate of the sons, Henry and
Thomas Blackburn. From admissions made by this
man, there is little room to doubt that the robbery of
the old couple was planned and the murder committed
by a gang of five men, two of whom were sons of the
deceased. These, who have been suspected from the first
discovery of the crime, and two other men, have been
lodgedsuicii

ErrErrsivE ROBBERY tlp BANK NOTES AT LIVERPOOL.
—On Saturday, about oile o'clock, a serious robbery was
effected at the Liverpool branch of the Bank of England.
A young man from the fkan of Messrs. Brown, Shipley,
and Co., agent for the United States Transatlantic
Steam Company, proceed-.
-mt. to the bank with bank notes
to the amount of 3,000/, This sum was composed of
' five 5001. and five 100/. notes. On arriving at the bank,
the youth inconsiderately placed the roll of notes on the
counter, covering them with his left arm. At that mo-
ment a gentleman tapped him on the shoulder, and
civilly asked him where he should be able to obtain
change for a U.-note. TJrown off his guard, he raised
his arm, and, pointing to a particular counter, said
"there." During this brief period the notes disappeared
from the counter. The simpleton immediately perceived
his loss, and, in considerable alarm, he told the agreeable
looking person at his side that some one had stolen his
notes. "Indeed," was the reply, "then it was the man
I saw go out just now. Here, come to the door, and I
will show you which way be went." He accompanied
his "friend" into the street. " See, that's the man :
he's just turned down Cook-ktreet." The youth pursued
the imaginary thief down Cook-street, while the real
rascal walked briskly away in an opposite direction.

Waterkloof, and a body of troops are left in posses--
sion of that noted stronghold, which has so long
afforded shelter to Macomo and the hordes of the
enemy, who were most immediately dangerous to
the frontier districts. This important work was
accomplished between the 14th and 18th Septem-
ber, by a force of 3,000 troops, having with them
four guns, and led by his Excellency in person.
The troops having been concentrated in the neigh-
bourhood of the Waterkloof on the 13th, two re-
doubts were thrown up in the Bush Neck Valley,
one of stone and the other of earth, which were
completed on the following day, and the commis-
sariat, hospital, and officers' tents placed within
their shelter. The force was then so posted -as to
command every accessible outlet from the scene of
the intended operations, which
in
of an
irregular hollow of several miles m extent, nearly
surrounded by precipitous mountains, the bases of
which, as well as the greater part of the interior
basin, are densely wooded. The arduous nature of
the duty imposed upon our gallant troops, of dis-
lodging such an enemy from such a position, may
thus be faintly imagined.

Private accounts speak highly of the personal
activity and energy of General Cathcart during
these operations ; and Colonels Eyre and Buller
were distinguished by their wonted gallantry and
skill- Owing to the nature of the country afford-
ing such facilities for concealing or carrying off the
dead and wounded, no accurate estimate can be
made of the loss suffered by the enemy. Report
states that 100 Kaffirs were killed, and many o f
their Tambookie allies ; 250 women and children
were taken prisoners, in a wretched state of ema-
ciation, many of them being scarcely able to walk.
An immense number of huts were burnt, and the
Kloof was traversed in all directions, until it was
ascertained that it had been thoroughly cleared of
the enemy. At one place, Col. Eyre is said to have
hung five men. At another, near the foot of the
Iron Mountain, a gunsmith's shop was found, loop-
holed and strongly fortified, where a little garrison
of Kaffirs made a determined stand, until it was
stormed and taken by Lakeman's Volunteers; it
was found to contain a quantity of miscellaneous
ironmongery, and all kinds of materials for repair-
ing fire-arms. Macomo, and many of his men,
however, contrived to make their escape, and their
retreat has not yet been discovered. His Excel-
lency, in commending the troops for their exertions
on this occasion, declared, as the result of the three
days' operations, in which they had been engaged,
that the Waterhloof and neighbouring fastnesses
had been evacuated by the Tambookie chief Qwesha,
and the Gaika chief Maeomo, with his adherents;
and that the Hottentot marauders had been de-
stroyed and expelled, "whilst the occupation of
commanding points, and the establishment of mili-
tary posts, effectually precludes their again fixing
' themselves in those haunts." The perfect satisfac-
tion and thanks of the Commander-in-Chief were,
therefore, conveyed, in General Orders, to "Colonel
Buller and Lieut.-Colonel Eyre, commanding co-
lumns, and their staff, to Lieut.-Colonels Nesbitt
and Napier, as well as to the general and personal
staff and commissariat department, to Major Bed-
ford, commanding 60th Rifles, to Major Pinckney,
commanding 73d Regiment, Lieutenant King,
commanding detachment 74th Regiment, Major
Forbes, commanding 91st Regiment, Major Hors-
ford, commanding Rifle Brigade, Captain Bruce,
74th Regiment, commanding a detachment from
Post Retief, and the several officers commanding
levies," for the able manner in which this compli-
cated operation had been carried into effect.

FRANCE.

We have received the Paris journals of yesterday.

We find the following in the Moniteur :

" Considerable efforts and manoeuvres of all kinds are
made to spread amongst the people, at the moment of
the solemn vote which it is called on to give, the pro-
tests of parties. The Government has no interest in
opposing the publication of these documents, and will
make them known itself, for in the great national move-
ment which carries France to the re-establishment of
the Empire, the opinion of the people must be enlight-
ened, and its will, manifested without constraint, be the
expression of its conviction. Let then the manifestoes
of the " Revolutionary Committee of London," and of
" the Proscribed Democratic Socialists of France re-
siding at Jersey, and united in general assembly," be
read :—(The precious manifestoes are then given in
extenso). "We do not," continues the Moniteur, " ac-
company these documents with any reflection.—At the
same time as these abominable provocations are spread,
efforts not less active are made to cause to arrive in all
parts of the territory a protest, which we also make
public. It is to be regretted that a Prince, who nobly
supports his misfortune, should also, by an exaggerated
sentiment of what he believes to be his duty, arrive at
denying the right of the people to choose their Govern-
ment."

The protest of the Count de Chambord is then
given by the Moniteur, which concludes by say-
ing :

" All these documents are now known to the country;
its good sense and patriotism will judge of them as they
deserve."

The Prince President was to return last evening
from Fontainebleau.

The sporting which took place at Fontainebleau
on Saturday and. Sunday was attended by a num-
ber of persons of distinction, who had received in-
vitations from the Prince President. The stag-
hunt on Sunday afforded very fine sport. The
hounds were ninety in number. An old stag was
first started, but after some time a young one was
started, which drew off the dogs from the old one.
They were, however, drawn off, and again laid on
the scent of the old one, which they followed and
killed after a run of three hours. The Prince
President, who was mounted on a magnificent
thorough-bred hunter, and his cousin Napoleon
Bonaparte, were in at the death. All the gentle-
men present were dressed in a costume of green,
bordered with gold race. Several ladies followed
the hounds. On Sunday there was also a shooting
party in the woods let to M. Fould and M. de
Caumont. More than 200 pheasants, four deer,
and an immense number of hares and partridges
were killed, and sent to the Palace.
The Prefects of the departments continue to
publish proclamations calling upon the electors to
follow up with their votes the manifestations that
they have made in favour of the Empire.

TIIE DUKE'S FUNERAL. Ladies attending this
National Solemnity will derive much personal comfort from the
use of ROWLAND,s AQUA D'ORO, the fragrant and spirituous
virtue of which will refresh and invigorate the system in the
heated and baneful atmosphere of crowded assemblages, or exposure
to the cold and damp of our variable climate. In all cases of excite-
ment, lassitude, and fatigue, it will prove of great advantage. Row-
lands' Kalydor will also prove a most refreshing preparation for the
complexion, dispelling the cloud of langour and relaxation, allaying
all heat and irritability, and immediately affording the pleasing sen-
sation attending restored elasticity and healthful state of the skin.

SUICIDE.—A young non-commissioned officer of a
regiment of chasseurs, stationed in the barracks of
Jean at Nancy, blew out his brains three days ago with
a pistol, after drinking a quantity of brandy. He com-
mitted this rash act in consequence of having
squandered
his fortune of about 40,000 f., and being unable to satisfy
his creditors, by whom he was greatly tormented.
