Ships are sailing from almost every port in the world. but the gold
mines are not exhausted, nor the labour market overstocked. The
superior equipment of many of the English is everywhere acknow-

emigrant may be outfitted in the best possible manner, E. MOSES
and SON have employed all the advantages of their magnificent and
universal trade, and that practical experience with Outfitting, which
is the result of undeviating attention to the largest business In the
world, conducted for the benefit of every class of emigrants to all
countries on the globe. Outfits may be selected to any amount the
emigrant desires, or the most profitable investments may be made in
Clothing, Hosiery, Boots, Shoes, Ilats, &c., &c., all expressly pre-
pared for Australia; a separate section for Emigrants' Outfits, con-

PRESERVATION OF SALMON.—A. short time since
the Duke of Richmond issued a circular to the proprietors of
the upper fishings of the Spey, intimating that it was his
Grace's intention to cease fishing wit net and.coble on the
(except with one boat occasionally for fa-
-3 1
milt's t ofuse), Au gaunscit
also to take out the cruive dike at. that time,
in order that the fish might get. op the river with9ut ob-
struction. As a necessary condition.of this relaxation, the
Duke required that the upper herito.rs should agree not to
fish with net and coble, or any other implement excepting
the rod, until the 15th of September, when the fishing
season closes. The upper heritors have . assented to the
Noble Duke's suggestion. The cruive dike
own belonging to
his Grace near the mouth of the Spey was th on
the 31st ult., and is now entirely removed. rfie cobles are
also withdrawn, and thus something like a fair

be afforded to the salmon passing up the riverl

EAST CUMBERLAND AGRICULTURAL
SHOW.
CARLISLE, SATURDAY.—This day the annual show
of this society took place in the yard of Carlisle
Castle. After the exhibition a numerous company
dined at the Coffee-house. The Earl of Carlisle was
in the chair, and among those present, we observed
Sir J. Graham, Mr. C. Howard, M.P., Mr. Aglionby,
M.P., Mr. Ferguson, M.P., the Hon. Petre, Mr.
Howard, of Couly Castle ; Mr. Howard, of Grey-
stoke ; the High Sheriff of the county, Colonel Mac-
lean, Mr. Ferguson, of Hanker Mr. Fawcett, of

,caleby Castle, &c.
After the usual loyal toaste had been disposed of,
The Earl of CARLISLE rose and said—The next
:oast upon my list is the toast of "The Army and
Navy," and in giving it to you I feel that it would be
impossible to refer to the martial service of the
country, especially of the army, without our thoughts
reverting to the name which has in numberless in-
stances been associated with it, and to the memory
of him who at the beginning of this week was its
chief, and who shall to all succeeding time be its pride,
its modal, and its inspiration.—(Loud cheers) Gen-
tlemen, this occasion is not one on which to dwell
upon a theme of sorrow.—(Hear.) I unaffectedly
feel that I am not the person to delineate the services
or the conduct of the Duke of Wellington.—(Cheers.)
This has already been done to a great extent by the
press of this country in a manner which, I must say,
amid all our deep and just regret, makes us feel proud,
as Englishmen, that he whose loss we deplore should
have been so well understood and so thoroughly ap-
preciated.—(Loud cheers.) This country has been
taught, by its own history, to associate the deaths of
its foremost heroes with the culminating hour of
victory—with Wolfe expiring under the ramparts of
Quebec—with Nelson falling on the decks of Trafal-
gar.—(Loud and continued cheering.) But, gentle-
men, while in the number and difficulty of his achieve-
ments` die Duke.of Wellington far outshone those
clniaMtidisas4 ` I atti neV of one of whom we-rectived
the dominion of a continent, and of the other that of
the sea, I feel that there is something still more in
keeping with his steady, even, and unclouded career,
that he should have sunk to death gently and noise-
lessly.—(Cheers.) It was not in the battle—no
tempest gave the shock—but a nation which he had
made greater far than it ever was before—seemed
bathed in the summer sunshine of peace and pros-
perity, and Sovereign and people alike, who bad
grown familiar with his mellowing greatness, without
losing anything of the veneration which attached to
it, will have marked the close of his long, bright, and
glorious day with undisturbed regret and unalloyed
affection.—(Loud cheers.) I beg to give you the
" Army and Navy," requesting that for once it may
he drunk in silence, and coupled with " the Immortal
Memory of the Duke of Wellington."
Colonel MACLEA.N responded to the toast.
" The County and Members" having been given
and responded to,
The Earl of CARLISLE rose to propose " The
Members for the city of Carlisle." He said, I am
particularly happy to give you a toast so congenial to
my feelings. With respect to one of the Members
who has now been returned for the first time to Par-
liament, I have not had with him the honour of a long
personal acquaintance, but I know the esteem in which
he is held among his fellow-citizens—(Cheers)—and
in raising him to that distinguished post they have
not only given him a high trust to discharge, but also
a most gratifying attestation of his own upright and
honourable character.--(Cheers.) With respect to
my Right Hon. Friend now sitting at my left,
I have had the pleasure of a much longer ac-
quaintance, and without upon an occasion
of this kind re-awakening any topics of party
excitement or of political difference, which are
so wisely excluded by the laws of our proceedings—
(Hear)—I trust I may yet be allowed to remark that
it is a source of great gratification to the city that
talents so eminent and services so distinguished should
be fully recognised on his own native soil—(Loud
and continued cheering)—or, in a word, that Car-
lisle and Cumberland have got their own again.—
(Laughter, and loud applause.) And, as I have
already said, without infringing upon subjects from
which we are debarred by the laws of our meetings,
and which would not, indeed, be appropriate to their
especial purpose, yet, with reference to this, for a
special purpose, I am at least warranted in remarking
that among all meetings of agriculturists Sir J.
Graham ought to be held in due honour, because he
has devoted, at different periods of life, that clearness,
that grasp of mind, which has been much exercised
on other subjects, to the science and practice of agri •
culture.—(Loud cheers.) No one, I feel assured, is
better enabled to offer you useful advice and useful
suggestions, and no one has been able to reduce the
theory of his art to fuller or more successful practice.
—(Cheers.) From these combining motives I am
sure you will drink with every mark of good feeling,
respect, and congratulation—" The healths of the
Members for the city of Carlisle, Sir James Graham
and Mr. Ferguson.' —(Protracted cheering).
Sir J. GRAHAM—I am afraid that on every ground
I must claim seniority on this occasion, and as the
senior member for Carlisle I beg to return you thanks.
My Noble Friend in the chair has justly observed that
the institutions of this society strictly forbid anything
approaching a political character being given to it, and
I certainly, having the success of the society most
anxiously at heart, would grieve if one word fell from
me in violation of the most salutary rule in question.
I trust, however, I may be permitted to express my
intimate conviction that while the prosperity of agri-
culture, and the consequent activity of the home
market, form a most important element of the trade
and commerce of this country, so, on the other
hand, one of the most certain causes of agricultural
prosperity is to be found in the extension of trade
and manufactures. Being intimately persuaded of
the truth of this great principle, I cannot help
rejoicing that this city, with which I am connected
by so many ties of gratitude and recollection, does
in itself embody in its representatives this principle
at the present moment. Trade and laud were
united in the representation of Carlisle, and I trust
that their interests will be faithfully advocated by my
-Hon. Colleague and myself. My Noble Friend has
told you that I have paid much attention not to the
theory alone, but the practice, of the noble science of
agriculture. True it is that I have at various times
gladly returned to this delightful occupation, and I
must say that with advancing age my taste for other
amusements grows colder, and my love for this parti-
cular occupation, and my attention to my home farm,
with its interesting details, gains ground day by day,
until the cultivation of my native soil has become an
object most dear to me.—(Cheers.) It is not for me
on this occasion to give advice respecting the culti-
vation of the soil. I see immedtately before and
around me some of the most experienced agriculturists
of this district. The vice-chairman is generally ac-
knowledged to be a great master of the art.—(clear,
hear.) There is no part of England which has
been so successfully improved as that large district
lying between my residence and Carlisle which
is in Mr. Ferguson's occupation. If I refer
to draining I shall touch on a subject about which
there is no difference of opinion among agriculturists.
I could not take a better mode of stating what are the
sound principles on which this important operation
should be conducted than by adopting, almost word
for word, a speech lately delivered at Appleby by the
Lord-Lieutenant of the county, which I read in the
newspapers. I am more and more convinced that in
our wet climate, without draining, there can be no
success in agriculture. I have bought experience on
this head, as older agriculturists have done. I began
with the notion that for surface draining it was not
necessary to go deep. This error has been demon-
strated, and it is now recognised that, speaking gene-
rally, deeper draining is more effective. Then I
thought that three feet draining was sufficient. Sub-
sequent experience, however, has shown me that
drains three and a half feet, at greater distance, and
therefore not more expensive, are much more effec-
tual.—(Cheers.) I now pass to the great question
of stock. I was delighted to observe in the show-
yard the improvement made in that description of
stock which will be found most remunerative and
most conducive to the advantage of this particular
neighbourhood—l mean sheep. It would be difficult to
find better sheep than were shown in the Castle-yard
this day. I am bound to say, however, that the im-
provement in other descriptions of stock has not kept
pace with that of sheep. In the district of Penrith
and the banks of the Eden the short-horns are supe-
rior to those produced in the northern part of the
county. I wish more attention could be paid to the
breed of short-horns.—(Cheers.) The Galloway
stock shown to-day was generally good, and it is a
breed well adapted to a district which is exposed to
great vicissitudes of climate; but on good land the
short-horns are better.—(Cheers.) If it were only
for the purpose of crossing with the Galloway, it is
desirable to have more short•horned bulls in this dis-
trict. There is another subject to which I will take
this opportunity of adverting. It is clear to me that
the potato is becoming a more delicate plant than it
was, and that every year its cultivation is more pre-
carious.—(Hear, hear.) If this be true, it is desirable
to find some other crop more profitable and more cer-
tain. You may, perhaps, think me prejudiced in what
I am about to say ; and, indeed, in these matters
we are more or less swayed by prejudice. Well, I
have had some experiments tried with flax, and the

results have satisfied me that it may be grown in this
district with advantage and profit. 1 have tried itin
several different ways. I have tried it out of
lea,
without manure, on indifferent land; I have tried it
out of lea on superior land; I have tried it after a
course of turnips and potatoes; I have tried it with
guano and bones, and the result of these experiments
has convinced me that the cheapest way of growing
it is best ; namely, out of lea, without manure.—
(Applause.) But, to effect this, it is necessary that
the land should be dry, deeply ploughed, and in a
condition free from weed. Now, observe—if you
periments
fulfil these conditions, flax is the best possible prepa-
ration for a green crop following. Several of my
tenants also have this year tried the experiment of
growing flax. I will not trouble you with details ; it
is sufficient to state that on a piece of poor land, let
for only 103. an acre, the crop cost 41. an acre,in-
cluding rent and all charges, and I am satisfied
that it is worth from 101. to 151. per acre. Could
there be established in this neighbourhood some ma-
chinery for converting the straw of flax, after the
grain is out, into the raw material of manufacture,
the happiest results might be anticipated to flow from
it. This would furnish another illustration of the
principle that the union of manufacturing skill and
capital with agricultural skill and capital is the sure
foundation of the prosperity of both.—(Cheers.) It
is the foundation of the prosperity of this city of Car-
lisle. A large proportion of the shopkeepers here are
dependent on the prosperity of the lauded interest, and
their interest is so intimately blended with that of
agriculture that they feel and suffer from its decay.
At the same time, the prosperity of the manufacturing
interest is reflected on the land, and if, as I am happy
to know to be the caee, there are many persons in
this neighbourhood desirous. of introducing new
land, this is a fresh illustration, to a limited extent, of
the principle of the union of the two classes which
manufactures conducive to the
will be found in the long run. the sure kivadation of

of a melancholy description will not arise in every
any part of the
breast. My Noble Friend alluded to a fact which
strikes us all—that the foremost man of the world lies
dead and unburied at this moment. Among all my
recollections I am bound to say that I deem it one of
the highest honours of my public. life to have asso-
ciated in council with that noble individual.—(Much
applause.) That eye whose glance " kept the world in
awe," has lost its lustre. "

—(Cheers.) lam satisfied that, although the grati-
tude of the country has lasted during the life of this
eminent individual, it is not this passing generation
only which will mark its gratitude to him. My Noble
Friend dwelt with much truth on the extraordinary
ability displayed by the daily press, and its unanimity—
its honourable unanimity—in commenting on thecha-
racter and excellence of the great man. lie does indeed
owe much to the press, but it is not to the passing
eulogiums of the daily press he must look for the
maintenance of his future fame. The Duke of Wel-
lington has fortunately left, through the medium of
the press, en undying memorial of the manner in
which he exercised his great powers, and of the ho-
nourable mode in which he rose to fame. In those
dispatches, written on the
moat confidential inter-
course with all persons with whom it was his duty to
communicate, from the humblest officer to the greatest
sovereign, it will be a noble study to trace how he
achieved his great success. It will there be found
that it was by devotion to his country—by never-
ceasing patriotism—by self-denial with reference to
all passing views of personal interest and exaltation.
Love of duty and love of country were the loadstones
by which he guided his course, and my noble friend
has truly said that he has left to the military profession
a great example, and to all who take part in public
affairs a lesson not less striking and worthy of imita-
tion.—(Cheers.) Patriotism and love of duty para-
mount to every consideration made Wellington what
he was. That example at a distance, in my humble
sphere, it shall be my duty and desire to follow.
Mr. FERGUSON, the other city Member, returned
thanks.

Sir J. GRAHAM—I ventured just now to give you
my opinions with respect to stock. Now with re-
spect to stock pedigree goes a great way, but qua-
lity, after all, is more valuable than pedigree.—
(Cheers.) In this country we are justly proud of
pedigree and of descent from a long line of illustrious
ancestry ; but yet it is, after all, the quality of the
man which stamps his worth.—(Cheers.) For pedi-
gree the Howards may bang the world ; but it is not
on account of his pedigree that I propose the health
of our Noble Chairman. Let us try him by his qua-
lities. He has been tested on many occasions and in
various places. He has been tried in courts; he has
been tried in senates ; he has been tried in both Houses
of Parliament ; he has been tried on the hustings;
has been tried at mechanics' institutes; and at last, I
be
urn glad to say, he has come to this county with which
his family has been so long honourably connected.
The more we know of him the more we value hitn.—
(Cheers.) His qualities will stand the test. I
know and you know him. Let us greet him as he
deserves, and drink his health with three times
three.—(Cheers.)

The toast was drunk as proposed.
The Earl of CARLISLE, in reply said-1 return you
my sincere, my unfeigned thanks, for the manner,
cordial as it was heartfelt, 11 which you
pleased to drink my health. The toast was proposed
t
oto you by my Right Hon. Friend not only with the
.
science of a breeder of stock, but with all the kindness
and warmth of an old friend and fellow-borderer; and
I think I need not assure him that even the honour I
have received at your hands comes to me infinitely
commended by its having been proposed by a person,
I will not say only of his have been

but who has been endeared to me by old recollections

and associations, which I trust I may look forward to
being renewed and freshened b subsisting

witnessing their athletic prowess in their ames and

me well deserving of encouragement; but, what is of
more importance, I believe there is in very many in-
stnnees a desire and a care for good education, and
with such materials, physical as well as moral to work
upon and, to work with, I do not see why Cumber-
land, long preeminent above the English counties
for the beauties of her natural scenery, her rich gar-
niture of lakes, and her sublime extent of mountains,
should not be equally conspicuous in all the attributes
of successful agriculture and creditable citizenship—
(Cheers)—and in this hope I beg you now to drink
to the " Success of the East Cumberland Agricultural
Society."—(Cheers.)
After several other toasts had been disposed of,
The Earl of CARLISLE, in a few sentence, gave the
" Health of Mr. Aglionby, M.P., for Cockermouth."
--(Cheers.) They were glad to see him still occu-
pying the situation he had so long and so honourably
filled.—(Loud cheers.)
Mr. AGLIONBY' in responding to the toast, advised
farmers to turn their attention more particularly to
the improving of the breed of stock. He idverted
to the imiiinvedstandition of 'the -pecliriltersarally,-
and expressed his belief that this year as well as suc-
ceeding ones would be prosperous as regarded the
agriculturists and all other classes of the community.
Sir J. GRAHAM.—I have the chairman's permission
to propose another toast. I fully concur with the ob-
servation which has been made, that it is most honour-
able to the tenant-farmers of this division of the county
that in fair open competition with large landed pro-
prietors they have succeeded in carrying off a great
majority of the prizes.—(Cheers.) I am decidedly of
opinion that meetings of this kind are very useful, and
I will illustrate that remark by what has occurred
this evening. Last year, with the view of trying an
experiment, I offered a prize for the best crop of
wheat out of lea. It is notorious that in the south
the best crop of wheat is always raised after clover
lea. Now here is the value of well-attested expe-
riments. There is nothing so fallacious as laying
down a principle univers Illy applicable to agricul-
ture in all parts of the country, when we know the
difference that exists as regards climate, soil, and
local circumstances. As for a system of cultiva-
tion it is not possible to lay down general rules; but
I was anxious to ascertain) whether there was not
some local prejudice existing in regard to the raising
of wheat after lea. I hail, as it has been stated to-
night, a particular object in giving the premium re-
ferred to. With reference to our climate and other
circumstances I will not say more than that the
growth of wheat to an extent which is not necessary
to the fair rotation of crops even on the best land is
no longer desirable; but it is desirable from the
nature of the demand for alt kinds of stock to enlarge
the quantity of land in permanent grass, and to in-
crease the number of sheep and cattle generally. You
cannot lay down your land with seeds advantageously
with a crop of wheat. It is desirable that you should
rather lay it down with outs.
If it were possible to
break un with wheat instead of laying it down with
wheat, beneficial results would be obtained. The
opinion of the judges, however, is decisive against
the practice of breaking up land with wheat in this
district, and I am bound to say that the experiment
having been tried by farmers of the utmost skill on
my own estate without success, I take that as a proof
that this mode of cultivation is not suited to this dis-
trict. I spoke to my friend sitting on my left (Mr.
Aglionby), and he tells me that in Surrey he
farms on land of very inferior quality, and raises
his best crop of wheat after lea on a chalk subsoil.
The dryness of the subsoil, probably, accounts for
his success. Again, the cli taste of Surrey is widely
different from that of our district; and when it is
spoken of as improbable that a great wheat crop can
be grown on Penrith Fell, I say I never wish to see
wheat again grown on that district. I think that
every encouragement should be given to agriculturists
to raise on the smallest quantity of land the greatest
possible quantity of produce. The cultivation of
green crops, the extension of grass, and the use of
sheep, are directly conducive to this end.—(Cheers.)
I cannot in adequate terms express my gratitude to
the tenant-farmers of this district. They have strug-
gled against immense difficulties in the noblest spirit,
not only of enterprise, but of patient endurance, and
have continued to hope even against hope.—(Cheers.)
They have performed prodigies of late years. I say
it in no spirit of boasting, but I will tell you that
when I began the management of my property
I let on improving leases for nineteen years.
By the will of Providence I have twice renewed
these leases ; I renewed them for 14 years in 1842,
and now I am again renewing them for a fresh period
of 14 years. On a large portion of my property I
have within the last six months renewed for 14 years,
and I state it, not with
pride as regards myself, but in
a spirit of heartfelt gratitude to my tenants, that not-
withstanding all the difficulties and I have had
they
to encounter, I have not changed any considerable
portion of my tenantry on any of those three occa-
sions; and on the last one there has been no change.
Considering all the circumstances—all the difficulties
of the tenant-farmers—l say they are a high-spirited
body of men—a noble-minded body of
together for the purpose of successfully exerting their
industry. It is skilled industry, too, for in this part
of the country the tenantry are not only educated,
but intelligent, and landlords may well be proud of
such a body of men.—(Cheers.) The Right Hon.
Gentleman concluded by proposing "The Tenant-
farmers."
Mr. GIBBONS acknowledged the toast.
The Earl of CARLISLE then gave " The Royal
English Agricultural Society." He was gratified to
find that there was a prospect of the Royal Society
holding one of their meetings at Carlisle at an early
date.—(Cheers.)
After several other toasts had been duly honoured,
Sir J. GRAHAM stated that, with the permission
of the society, he had to offer for next year, a pre-
mium of 101. for the best-managed farm in this dis-
trict, subject to the decision of the committee of
management.—(Cheers.)
The VICE-CHAIRMAN (Mr. Richard Ferguson) had
to offer 15/. to be divided into premiums for the best
poultry. The prizes to be competed for in April next.
The Earl of CARLISLE said that, as giving pre-
miums seemed to be the order of the evening, he
begged to say that next year he would give a pre-
mium of 101. for the best general stock in the hands
of any owner.—(Loud applause.)
The company then broke up.

SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS.
FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY.
TIMES.—The death of such a man as the Great
Duke will necessarily compel the country, in the dis-
tribution of his offices, to more than one step down-
wards from the sublime. An example, indeed, has
already been given in the announcement made with
such apparent complacency by a Ministerial print,
that the " Right Honourable William Beresford".now
provisionally fills, in the eyes of Europe, the post oc-
cupied by Arthur 'Wellesley at the head of the
British army. The misfortune, however, of this con-
trast was inevitable. In suchl cases constitutional
precedent forms the only rule of action, and no other
arrangement was practicable. But, as the "func-
tions appertaining to the office" in question will not
be imposed for many days upon the " Secretary at
War," and as the appointment itself is of the very
highest consequence, the attention of the public is
naturally arrested by the current speculations upon
its disposal. On this point we believe we can both
tmeuxaplrltye,ssiwnhand justify the general opinion of the
country. In the distribution of high State offices
there are two methods of proceeding—one by the
rule of competence, and the other by the prerogative
of rank.

This presumptively is the case with the
ship-in-Chief of her Majesty's Forces. So
roefficient
and well-organized is the department of the
Guards, that for the ordinary routine of times Horse
peace a working head may be thought not required,
and, even if sterner exigencies should arise, such un-
bounded aid would be at immediate command that
nothing would be actually lost to the country. All,
in short, that could be gained by putting a good
soldier at the head of the army, in person, would be
gained equally by making this soldier the coadjutor
of a less active commander, so that the needs of the
public service and the desires of princely houses might
he satisfied at one and the same time. The system of
proceeding thus described is not without advocates at
the present moment, and it would be useless affecta-
tion to omit stating that his Royal Highness Prince
Albert and his Royal Highness the Duke of Cam-
bridge have both tieen spoken of for the Comman-
dership-in-Chief of the army. We will plainly re-
capitulate the reasons which convict such views of
great impolley, and which conclusively prove that the
office should he considered a reality, and practically
filled. In the first place, and above all, the Cora- 1
mandershipsin-Chief of the British Forces is not,
and never can be, an appointment of less actual
importance than any other Ministerial post. The
colonial duties of our army communicate to its ser-
vice what may be almost termed a standing character
of war, and, in point of fact, at this very moment of
presumptive " peace " we are marching in force upon
the capital of a great eastern empire. But, indepen-
dently of these conditions, there exist administrative
duties of the most serious description to occupy the
thoughts of a Commander-in-Chief. The science
of war and the devices of armament have lately
made enormous strides—so enormous, indeed, as to
have left us, it is said, considerably in arrear of more
military States. All these alleged improvements
have now to be investigated, and, if desirable, to be
introduced; nor need we be at the pains of proving
that questions must daily arise for the decision of the
very ablest soldier which the country can furnish.
Moreover, we have recently been induced to take
thought for the protection of our proper coasts,
and every Gazette gives evidence of the efficiency
and availability which it is now sought to impart
to the internal resources of the kingdom. Would
it not, then, be the very height of inconsistency,
when we are raising the militia, and stipulating
for the thorough effectiveness of every adjutant and
drill-sergeant, to treat the chief command of the army
es a duty which might be discharged by deputy or
left to devolve upon rank alone ? If it is answered
that on each and all of these points the services of the
best soldier in the land would be still equally avail-
able, whether he were or were not in nominal occu-
pation of the post in question, we are brought at once
to a second argument even more conclusive, if pos-
sible, than that specified above. The English people
do not desire a sham, and least of all a sham which
would cost some thousands a-year. If it be indeed
true that the Commandership-in-Chief is an appoint-
ment of such a character that all immediate personal
competence may be dispensed with in its occupants,
the inference plainly is not that such occupants should
be accepted, but that the post itself should be added
to those " suppressed great offices of state" which
historical manuals record. Of two things one :
Either the place is of true importance, and should
be worthily filled; or it is of no importance, and
may be abolished altogether. We need scarcely
say that the former is the only sound conclusion, and
it is an additional reason, indeed, against choosing a
commander by courtesy, that no personage gratified
with this distinction is likely to remain as inactive or
as controllable as his supporters would presume. The
Commander-in-Chief, we may be perfectly assured,
will exercise the powers of his office, and it impera-
tively concerns, therefore, the public service that
those powers should be lodged in none but the most
really competent hands. Wellington's victories have
done much, indeed, for the national honour, but even
they have not yet obliterated the doings of the last
Commander-in-Chief appointed on the score of birth.
Ot all things in the world, war is the last which will
bear such tamperings with duty, and the practical
English nation ought surely to be the last to act un-
practically in a case at once so plain and so urgent.

these we think we can furnish one yet. At such a

bends over the tomb about to receive the mortal re-
mains of England's greatest hero. The lives of its
illustrious citizens is the vitality of the commonwealth,
and the decease of its chief ornament robs it of one of
the brightest portions of its existence. At an honoured
and advanced age, in the harvest-field of life, rich in
the fruition of noble performance, when time could
barely claim a further respite, has the common
enemy of mankind, with whom the hero had
stood face to face on many a well-contested

Two of the most celebrated men in the ehrunic'es
modern times were horn in the same year. Both
were renowned warriors and eminently-gifted states-
men, soaring far above all conteruporarieo, engrossing
the wonder and the attention of mankind, and filling
the universe with the fame of their achievements; the
one the mighty conqueror, the other the high-souled
deliverer. The course of one erratic and destructtve
as the career of the thunderbolt; that of the other
temperate and benevolent, like a portion of the majes-
tic order of the world ; the one the scourge, the
other the refuge of the nations. The former died at
a comparatively early age, the barren sceptre at
which he grasped shivered and reft from him; the
latter going down to the grave crowned with
years and honours, amid the peace and security
he had so largely and so importantly contributed to
establish. The former, endeavouring to stretch the
boundaries of his country to the vain measure of
his ambition, resigned them to be portioned out by
strangers; the latter, seeking solely to maintain the
integrity of his native land, left it with widely-in-
creased territories and the inheritor of a liberty as
glorious as its dominion. The sword of Wellington
was the shield of his country; it had no stain of self
upon it to tarnish the richness of its temper; in his
hand it was not a brand, but a buckler. it is no
mean boast for a commander never to have lost a
battle ; it is an infinitely more desirable reputation to
acquire never to have drawn the sword save in a righ-
teous cause. How deep the moral of lives such as
those of these two warriors. Will not history erect
their names as imperishable monuments of glory ?
The one the uncertain glare of the short-lived and
unstable emotion ; the other the sun-like effulgence
of the genuine inspiration. Napoleon may live in the
wonder, or even in the admiration of mankind ;
Wellington is enshrined in their gratitude and em-
balmed in their affections. In him the state has
lost its protector and counsellor, its best servant, and
most faithful friend.

" His remembrance
Lives in men's eyes; and will to ears and tongues
Be theme and hearing ever."
The ancients raised their deceased heroes to the
imagined dignity of gods ; as Christians, we will pre-
serve Wellington alive in our bosoms, and make him
a monitor and an enduring remembrance. The Duke
was fortunate enough to have outlived all the petty
animosities of party, and the unjust prejudices of those
who knew him not, or misunderstook_his character ;
and surely he can scarcely be said to have died too
early who had attained universal appreciation and
devotion. The bappineas of the nation will be greater
or less in proportion to the number of those who en-
deavour to follow, no matter how humbly or at what
distance, provided it be with earnest sincerity, his
example, and who strive never to forget that his
actions were guided by his motive that
we do not live for ourselves alone, but that
the conduct of our lives must be regulated
by a due consideration of the duty we owe
to our fellows. The career of the departed teaches
that a strict adherence toduty can consolidate the only
reputation that is permanent, the fame that ascends
like incense from the tomb, delighting mankind with

These qualities beget sterling fame—not the volcanic

generous breast, and, though
the burning unseen, yet in-

patriots is the worthiest temple for his fame. Like a
" star disorbed," he has left a vacancy among the
luminaries of the age which cannot be filled up. He
scarcely had a predecessor, and we may look in vain
for his successor. And what pen shall write his
epitaph? His deeds have exhausted panegyric, and
the eloquence of language feels its splendours eclipsed
by their magnitude. The most expressive that can be
engraved on his tomb is this ,
ARTHUR, DUKE OF WELLINGTON.
These four words speak volumes ; and they alone can
adequately convey an idea of the immensity of his
renown. The lapse of ages, that silently and imper-
ceptibly pours the waters of oblivion over the most
cherished remembrances bequeathed to us by earth's
master-spirits, may overwhelm a portion of the deeds
of the illustrious Wellington; hut the majority defy
annihilation, and they shal stand like high-placed
watch-towers above the mists of the past, shedding a
dazzling halo on the most distant hereafter. The
history that enshrines a Wellington has one sure
passport to all human posterity, which shall be recog-
nised when—

" time and tide
Have washed away, like weeds upon the sands,
Crowds of the olden life's memorials."

REGISTRATION.
MIDDLESEX.

On Saturday Mr. Launcelot Shadwell, the barris-
ter appointed to revise the list of voters for the county
of Middlesex, held a court at the New Black Dog,
Bedtont. Tile day's revision included the parishes
of Ashford, Bedfont, Cranford, Feltham, Hampton,
Hampton-wick, Hansworth, Harmondsworth, Sale_
ham, Littleton, Shepperton, Staines, Stanmore, Sun-
bury, and Teddington.

The fact that, at the sitting of the court at Brent-
ford, the Baron de Rothschild and his three brothers
were struck off the register, has created some sensa-
tion in the Liberal ranks, more particularly at Ham-
mersmith district, where there will be a severe strug-
gle between the contending parties. The
the Baron and his family were objected to by Mr.
Alley Jones, the Conservative agent, who argued
that in the qualification stated in the register there.

was an informality. Names expunged.

by a fellow representing himself
as Lord John Russell, the

question, who decidedly bears a very strong resemblance to

Lordship, called a few days since on the proprietor of an
extensive establishment in Pimlico, and requested that a
tilbury should be immediately prepared for him to proceed t.)
the Barracks at Hounslow, to see his nephew, who he sail
belonged to the Bth Dragoons. Having stated himself to be
no ether than Lord John Russell, the tilbury was placed at
his disposal, and was driven off in the direction of Houns-
low. During the journey be several times ordered the ser-
vant to pull up at various establishments in Kensington,
and, again making use of his former tale, obtained sundry
sums of money and divers articles from the tradesmen to a
considerable amount. Arriving at Hounslow, the rogue dis-
missed the servant with the vehicle, and proceeded to the
George Hotel, wbere, by the same means, he hired a post-
chaise, and went on to Windsor, where he asked the servant
for a little money, if he had any. The unfortunate dupe
„a„,e him all be possessed, being about W. 145., and be went
off, saying he should soon return and drive back to Houns-
low. It is almost needless to say that nothing has since
I been seen or heard of the imposter.
