FUNERAL OF THE DUKE OF WELLINGTON.

nicest rules of justice. There were the great
officers of the Government in which he had held
the highest place. There were—more than all these
—swarming to see the last of their hero—the way-
ward uncertain masses of the people who are
the children of the State--for whose good
the Duke worked far more truly and well
than ever did their self-styled special friends—
the way-ward, but, in the long run, well-judging
people, who admired, feared, misunderstood,
but at last loved and almost idolised the Duke.
If, as a part of the solemnities of yesterday, it had
been possible to gather the opinions and the feelings
of the crowd which filled. St. Paul's, and choked
up the great avenue of our capital, what a mag-
nificent monumen+ it would. be ; nobler than ever
was displayed on banner, or recorded by herald's
devices, or sculptered on funereal car. In the
hushed and solemn anxiety of the throng of spec-
tators as the procession passed, there was the mark
of .a deep-loved honour—not won by happy strokes
of fortune—by keen intrigue or ingeniously directed
eloquence, but fixed and riveted by a long and noble
life open to all men's sight, by services which no
man could deny, by truth, uprightness, and good
heart, which no man could impugn.
In speaking of so much of Wellington as now
has left the earth—his spirit and the shell which
imprisoned it--we mentioned the legacies which he
bequeathed to his country. They are many and
rich ones. It were late in the day to speak of the
safety which he secured—the name which he gained
—the position which he conquered—the empire
which he won for England. But London gave us
yesterday in its orderly solemnity—its steady con-
duct—its quiet universal propriety—an instance of
the weight and influence working always for good
in the life of which that day's grand ceremonial
sealed the record.

REMARKS OF Tii.E CONTEMPORARY PRESS.
(Frcrm, the Times.)

London yesterday must have fared ill in the sober
judgment of a stranger unacquainted with the his-
tory and character of the British people. The whole
population appeared to be bent on feasting its eyes
with a funeral pageant, of no extraordinary beauty,
the subject of which was a man whose death had
reng. been a matter of constant expectation. The
passion, had assumed the form of a positive mono-
mania. To the one object of doing the thing wor-
thily, and beholding it thoroughly, all other con-
siderations had given way. A great political
question, lately held sufficient to cause a dissolu-
tion of Parliament and a session at an unusual time,
had been almost indefinitely postponed to make way
for this paramount necessity. As the Chancellor of
the Exchequer observed, an economical nation had
rejected all thought of expense, a practical nation
had, surrendered itself to a mere sentiment, a
busy nation had resolved to waste a day, an un-
ostentatious nation had all of a sudden determined
on a pompous display of public affliction. Not a
single institution or arm of the State but was
pressed into this new service, or, to speak more
correctly, its part. The Crown, the Legislature,
the army, every department of the public service,
the Church, the municipalities, the aristocratic and
mercantile classes, down to the very populace, con-
tended with a strange rivalry to be foremost in the
work of doing honour to one man. So the prin-
cipal thoroughfare for half the length of the me-
itropolis was converted into the theatre of this great
national eulogy. The nobleman's mansion and the
huckster's shop were equally prepared for the re-
ception of the spectators. Deal benches started into
existence wherever it waspossible to place them. They
filled every shop-window, surmounted every wall,
occupied every vacant space, from the gardens of a
palace to the burial-ground of a church, and the site of
a house recentlypulled down. It was said yesterday
that more than 200,000 seats had been constructed
and offered for sale, and the greater part were taken.
To avail themselves of their several opportunities,
Parliament was adjourned, a holyday made by
law in the City, the, shops were closed, and every
artisan was early on the ground, in quest of a
good standing position. While it was yet dark
the pavements were occupied, and the barriers
threatened with the impatient admirers of a man
infinitely above the condition of the vulgar, and
who never made Much profession of sympathy for
it. "The city is mad," said a few cynical observers.
But the country was mad too. Though floods
had interrupted the railway traffic, and the baro-
meter was below "much rain;" though the day
before had been showery, and the night promised
still worse; though the streets were ankle deep in
mud, and average accomodation was a guinea a
sitting, still London was full of country folks, at-
tracted by the name of a man whose greatness in
their minds was little more than a tradition from
their fathers. How it passed we need not here tell.
Scarce a seat was vacant, not a standing room with-
out its obstinate tenant, as prepared to endure the
inclemency of the skies as the men who first revolu-
tionised France. The pageant went its way, and
has left an indestructible idea in near a million
minds. In the ordinary course of things, a century
hence their will still be some score old people in
the country who will talk to incredulous hearers of
the Duke of Wellington's funeral ; and in the year
2,000, A.D., there will be a few score more who
will . relate what their own fathers told them •
about it.

Such spontaneous honour as the multitude paid
yesterday to the remains of a great and good man
is a healthy sign in the body and habits of a people.
The feeling which they showed is one which will
grow and bear fruit. There was no sudden emo-
tion no violent overstrained sentiment in the
matter. The expression of reverence rose evidently
from deliberate opinion—from a firm conviction as
to the merits of a life placed too high, and shining
out too clearly, for doubt or question.
The death of the Duke of Wellington startled no
fresh and ardent enthusiasm, severed no hasty and
fervid attachment between him and those among
whom he lived : but it dissolved a love and honour
knit by long knowledge of the qualities which gave
them birth. It is no light thing that a people
should have a feeling so worthy and so good to
cherish—that they should have a memory so noble
and stainless to revere—a standard so high to refer
to—a test so pure by which to try the right.
We, therefore, reckon these things as rich legacies
—we count their influence (and it was an influence
which no one could mistake) on the multitudes of
yesterday as part of the rich inheritance left by the
great conqueror—the just statesman —the good
man— whose body lies by the great Nelson in
St. Paul's.

Those are great doings—achievements to awaken
pride and gratitude which he wrote with a firm
hand on the great page of European politics—but
those are also very beautiful records, very valuable
as well as touching lines in our national history,
which we may read in the universal voice of the
public on yesterday's solemn triumph, in their re-
verent and decorous observance of a noble cere-
mony—their appreciation of a closing tribute to the
greatness which had conquered their allegiance, and
the worth which had secured him love.

(From the Daily News.)

(From the Morning Chronicle.)
Panegyric may well be thought to have ex-
hausted itself on the Duke of Wellington. All that
was to be said, it may be supposed, has been said ;
and the very unanimity of salutation has become,
perhaps, wearisome. The world tires of .Aristides
—the presence of a hero, and the acclamations
which attend him, 'are a reproof and a rebuke to
men of common mould.. Still, with the sight of
yesterday's magnificent array of military pomp
fresh in our recollection—before the roll of the
muffled drum, the clang of trumpet, and the wail-
ing chorus of the funeral anthems have faded—we
shall only express the popular sentiment if we once
more add another voice to an expression of grati-
tude and respect for the departed, more unani-
mous, perhaps, than ever, in the world's history,
saluted the tomb of soldier or citizen—of patriot or
conqueror.
" His body is buried in peace, but his name
liveth for evermore ;" and not his name alone, but
his influence. We mistake and under-estimate the
Wellington we have lost, if we restrict his value,
or even his presence, to a cold historical example,
and to a mere ethical commonplace. Thai he is so
widely appreciated shows what his life has actually
done for the English mind. It teaches and animates
national character, while it reflects it. Like is
alone appreciated by like—example is thrown away
except on congenial minds. This general apprecia-
tion of Wellington makes us confident in ourselves.
Something heroic and patriotic is required to un-
derstand the patriot and hero ; and that common-
wealth must be sound in heart which has decreed
and paid such honours to him who but reflects its
general spirit and character.

Our Wellington is in his grave. Some of us re-
member the dread of hearing that news in our
youth. Some who were infants at the beginning of
our century remember, as a dark cloud resting on
their household day, the death of Nelson. They
remember hearing what Mr. Pitt said—that he had
often, while Minister, been called up in the night
to receive good news or bad, and that he had
always before been able to lay down his head, and
sleep immediately ; but that when Lord Coiling-
wood's dispatch with its tidings from Trafalgar
came in the night, he was so restless that he
rose at three. o'clock. Prom 1809 to 1815, there
was a dread that news of the like kind might
come 'about Wellington. The death and burial
of Sir John Moore had touched all hearts ; and
whenever tidings arrived of a new sweep of
the French armies over the provinces of the
Peninsula, men held their breath in the fear
that the next news might be of Wellington lying
under the sod--" left alone with his glory." Glad
would all the millions of our people have been to
know that the hero would stand before Parliament
to receive their thanks—would enter the House of
Lords under the singular circumstances of his accu-
mulated honours,—having risen through the whole
gradation of ranks before he took his seat at all.
Glad would those multitudes have been to know
how their hero would outlive most of them, and
would at last lie, not under the sod, but under the
high-raised cross of our greatest cathedral ; not left
" alone with his glory," but with Nelson by his
side, and the certainty of being visited by successive
generations, till that lofty roof shall crumble down,
to be the outermost coffin of England's two greatest
heroes.

.presence of so illustrious an assemblage of royal,
noble, and great, of our own and foreign lands.
He has left us full of years—" life dis.ning out clear
to the last drop"—full of honours—and entombed
in the nation's heart of hearts. She has done what
she could, and is now anxiously, but not despond-
ingly, looking round among her surviving sons, at
a great crisis in the affairs of Europe, to see if she
can find those worthy to tread in his steps, though
they may not be able to fill his giant foot-prints,
and keep pace with his mighty strides—still, how-
ever, that they may follow in the same direction,
by keeping their eyes steadily fixed, as he did, on
the triple stars of duty, truth, and honour.
The Queen has lost, indeed, a prince and a great
man from among her people; and the royal heart
would throb when her Consort told her, in faulter-
ing tones, of the sublime spectacle that he had been
witnessing, and the tears which he let fall by the
grave of Arthur Duke of Wellington.

- All that panegyrists of all time have selected
as topics of congratulation for the departed, seems
to have concentrated in the Duke of Wellington.
His very figure and gesture were those of an his-
torical man. Posterity will recognise, as familiarly
as his contemporaries, one who, in the presence of
State affairs, exhibited in his very aspect the great
man, and in all social' intercourses the good man.
Severe in discipline, yet warm-hearted in the cause
of charity—thefriend alike of children and of Kings
.--punctual in religious, and untiring in official
duties—sage in counsel, and successful in the
field—no democrat was ever more the idol of the
common people, and no dictator ever more com-
pletely, or for a longer and more eventful period,
swayed the political destinies of his country. With
enough of inflexibility to pursue what he deemed
duty at the risk and loss of popularity, he had the
rare fortune to be at length appreciated even by
his detractors, and to recover the general affection
whieh he had lost. His life, though prolonged to
extreme old age, exhausted neither his glory nor
his capacities ; and. the strong will triumphed to the
last over ► the infirmities of years. And though
decorated and rewarded as never subject was be-
fore him, envy never grudged him his fortune,
nor did detraction even attempt to sully.. his
.in-
tegrity. Twenty years of the most brilliant mili-
tary career left him in the highest ranks of Eng-
lish nobility, and the adopted marshal of every
European State ; and at an age when his great rival
was sinking into an unhonoured grave, and when
those who are generally considered his historical
parallels had finished their course, he commenced
an administrative life which was crowned by en-
twining the civic oak with the conqueror's laurel,
And was rewarded by his achievement of a title
prouder than that of Prince of Waterloo—the Father
of his Country. And if we cannot, of Wellington,
pronounce what they of old considered the soldier's
highest honour, that he died for his country, a
higher, if a simpler,. inscription can be placed on
his tomb—that he. lived for it—and for it alone.
No Pericles will deliver a studied oration over his
remains ; but the universal voice of his country-
men, and the earnest sympathy which yesterday
throbbed in hundreds of thousands of mourning
yet high-beating hearts, fax outweigh all the cold
successes of the rhetorician's art, or the purchased
and glittering phrases of the sophist's toramon-
Plage book.

Nations and their rulers know very well that it
is the first principles of social liberty that have now
to be contended for on the continent of Europe.
It may probably be the greatest war that the world
has ever seen. If the aggressions of tyrants
should bring it on very soon, no man living is likely
to see the end of it. The struggle will be, in fact,
between the Asiatic and European modes of living in
society—a much larger question than one of nationali-
ties and territorial dominion. The struggle will be
between despotism and representative institutions.
Despotism lives in that part of Europe which is
overhung by Asiatic atmosphere ; while, in the
most advanced countries in the west of Europe, the
representative system of government has never been
more than a mere beginning. Young and feeble, how-
ever, as the Western Opinion has thus far appeared,
it is strong enough to have put Eastern Opinion to
some hard shifts ; and, latterly, to that hardest of
all, unbearable tyranny. Wellington lived to see ter-
ritorial alliances giving way before political affinities
—the old before the new—the mechanical before
the essential union ; and many of us may live to
see the thickest of the fight, when Pope and Kaiser,
Emperors by ancient prerogative and Emperors by
vulgar usurpation, maybe struggling for supremacy
rendered vain by the actual disintegration of nations.
It may be for a generation yet unborn to see the
issue of the warfare. What the issue will be, no man
will presume to say. We can only say what it will
not be. It will not be, as in many wars of the
olden time, a mere recurrence to the previous state
of things ;—a burying of the dead out of sight, and
going on as before. It will not be a set of grants
and concessions of territory, agreed upon by po-
tentates, without reference to their peoples. Wel-
lington saw the last of such doings. When the con-
flict is about the establishment of the principles of
Western civilisation with the representative
principle for the leading feature—the terms of
peace must be something very different from that.
We will not prophesy that which shall be. It is
enough to say that we have done with the past,
and that we know it by the token, that the mili-
tary achievements of our greatest soldier were, in
fact, civic services, and that thus, while one pier of
the great arch of ais fame is hung all over with the
banners of armies and the trophies of the field, the
other is planted on that table land where, if men
go to war, it is because peace beckons them on ;
and if men strive to lay one another low, it is that
manhood itself may arise to live in a higher free-
dom. The Sovereigns of Europe sent mourners to
Wellington's funeral. They, as they bent over
his grave yesterday, probably thought of him as a
warrior in the olden sense. We trust there were
native Englishmen among that vast assemblage
who thought of him more as the preserver of our
nationality ; and, in that, as the champion—un-
consciously perhaps, but most truly—of the popu-
lar liberties of Europe.

THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING-, NOVEYIBER• 19, 1852.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

HOUSE OF LORDS.-(YESTERDAY.)

It had been arranged that the peers attending the
funeral of the Duke of Wellington should embark on
b axi a steamer at the esplanade in front of the Houses
of Parliament. Soon after 10 o'clock, 70 or 80 member
of the House of Lords assembled in the Prince's Cham-
ber, some of them in military uniform ; they then pro-
ceeded to the place of embarkation, landed at Paul's-
wharf, and entered the Cathedral by the south door.

HOUSE OF COMMONS----(YESTERDAY).
The house met at ten o'clock pursuant to the recom-
mendation of the committee appointed to consider the
best mode of providing for the accommodation of mem-
bers desirous of attending St. Paul's Cathedral. Amongst
the members present we observed Lord John Manners,
Sir J. Graham, Lord Naas, Mr. Henley, Mr. Labouchere,
Sir J. Y. Buller, Sir F. Thesiger, Sir C. Wood, Mr. W.
Patten, Mr. E. Ellice, Mr. Baines, Mr. Glyn, Mr. B.
Denison, Mr. Geach, Sir W. Clay, Lord H. Vane, Mr.
W. Miles, Mr. F. Mackenzie, Colonel Sibthorp, &c.
At half-past ten (there being at the time nearly 300
members present),
Sir C. WOOD rose and said : The house will, perhaps,
permit me, having been appointed chairman of the com-
mittee for making the necessary arrangements for proceed-
ing to St. Paul's, to state exactly the course which is to be
pursued. (Hear, hear). The House of Peers will precede
us, and will embark about half-past ten. After the
house adjourned last night I met Lord Hardinge, who
said he thought we might follow a quarter of an hour
later. The House of Peers, after embarking at the es-
planade, will proceed to Paul's-wharf, where they will
land, and to that place we shall follow them. Our course
of proceeding will be this. The namer of all the coun-
ties in the United Kingdom are written on slips of paper
and placed in 2, box, from which the clerk will draw them
one by one, calling out the name of each county. When
the first name is called, the members for such county,
and the members for all the boroughs in that county,
will have the goodness to leave the house and proceed to
the esplanade, and take the first boat. When that boat
is filled another will be ready, and in this manner accom-
modation for ail the members will be provided. (Hear,
hear). At Paul's-wharf the landing place will be kept
clear for us. A staff officer has been appointed by Lord
Hardinge for tlat purpose, and he will undertake
to keep the passage clear up to Paul's-chain, an
opening on the s)uth side of St. Paul's churchyard ;
we may possibly be kept waiting there a little while,
because it is quite impossible to fix the precise mo-
ment vo d
convenient
so
ofoafr

rs
the
cross. at
We which ch
expectit tmoaybebe ont able
troops have all arrived and taken their places, and
before the carriages set down. On crossing the south
side of St. Paul's Churchyard, we shall arrive at the
western front of St. Paul's Cathedral; where there are
three doors. The centre door is set apart for the funeral
procession. After passing the door at the south-west
corner, and the centre door, we shall arrive at the north-
west door, and be conducted to our places in the north-
west aisle, under the dome. The arrangement which
has been made will, I trust, be found convenient. (Hear,
hear.) The steamboats are ordered to be in attendance
at Paul's-wharf from three o'clock until four, for the con-
venience of members returning. What time the cere-
money will be over it is not easy to say ; but, at its ter-
mination, it has been arranged that we shall return to the
house in the order in which we proceeded to St. Paul's.
(Hear, hear.) I may add, that two steamboats have
been engaged, ani that a third is in readiness if addi-
tional accommodation should be required. (Hear,
hear.) I now beg to suggest that the clerk proceed to
call over the names of the counties. (Hear, hear.)
Lord JOHN MANNERS : I am sure the house is
extremely grateful to the right honourable gentleman
for the trouble he aas taken in affording us the informa-
tion he has just given. (Hear, hear). I will only add one
word, namely, that as a free passage will be reserved for
members coming from the Cathedral, I hope they will
avail themselves of the opportunity of proceeding to the
wharf with all due expedition. (Hear, hear).
The clerk then proceeded to draw the list of names in
the manner suggested. The first county drawn was Dur-
ham. The name having been called out by the clerk,
the members for that county, and for the boroughs in
that county, at *nee rose and made their way to the es-
planade, and thence on board one of the steamers. The
members for the county of Huntingdon were next called ;
and the same course was pursued until all the members
had taken their departure,
The boats returned to the esplanade about a quarter
past three, when the members immediately separated.

The weather to-day was comparatively favourable, the

Notwithstanding the funeral of his Grace the late
Duke of Wellington, this court was compelled to hold
its sitting, otherwise the proceedings in the causes now
pending would have been vitiated. The business, how-
ever, was limited to a continuation of the assignations
until the next court. Dr. Swabey presided as surro-
gate.
