LONDON, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 18, 1852.

tl-1,3 Lords and the Commons of old England. Now-
a. days we have, numbered in the ranks of our peerage,
• a popular scholar with abilities capable of rendering
him worthy to become the translator of GOETHE, as
the world has seen brilliantly proven through tbe
Faust of the Earl of ELLESMERE. Again, the lovers
of sylvan poetry might discover exquisite tokens of
idyllic sensibility in the genial and inartificial verses
of the late Lord LEIGH. Another and yet more
agreeable evidence of that honest and humaniz-
ing reciprocation of feeling between the
peerage and the people, is afforded in 'the
practical, and ever assiduous, philanthropy which
has soothed so many pangs, and dissipated so
much darkness, and removed so much impurity, and
ameliorated so many sufferings under the guidance of
the gentle and the noble heart of the good Earl of
SHAFTESBURY.
Popular amongst the most popular, however, of
these people-loving members of the peerage---is a
man whose name has not yet been mentioned, the
kind-natured and large-minded, the amiable and ac-
complished Earl of CARLISLE. It is by
a patrician
such as Lord CARTISLE that the most valuable bene-
fits are conferred upon his caste—namely, by endear-
ing it to the hearts of the more susceptible and of the
better educated members of the population. Within
the last few days, it will hag e been perceived
that the Noble Earl has repeated that
graceful tribute to the poetic genius of
our incomparable Pore,
which he first
offered in 1850 through his charming and
thoughtful lecture addressed to the Mechanics' In-
stitute at Leeds. The repetition of that lecture was
appropriately given on Saturday last in the Town-hall
of that ancient borough from which he bad derived
his younger title of courtesy, and from the suffrages of
whose electors he had drawn his earliest prerogatives
as a representative—the loyal and liberal borough of
Morpeth. Proceedings of this kind are eminently
befitting the distinguished abilities and the generous
temperament of Lord CARLISLE, while they cannot
but be signally beneficial to the interests both of the
people and the peerage. They areagreeably charac-
teristic, moreover, at the same time of the blended
and self-adapting nature of our institutions, and of
' the large heart of that statesman who does not regard
it as derogatory from his dignity to address an as-
sembly of mechanics as a public lecturer—knowing
full well that, if it is not within the capacity of such
labours to lend a new purity to his ermine, it is cer-
tain, at least, to shed additional lustre upon his proud
Earl's coronet.

THE FRENCH REPUBLIC.

We have received the Paris papers of yesterday.
At Nevers, on the morning of the 16th, the PRINCE
personsPRESIDENT
of
thedepartment,
received
and g
nu number
a sum
r of t h principal
e ofmoney
to the Mayor to distribute to the poor of the town.
He also caused several sums to be given to a number
of old soldiers of the Empire. At eight o'clock he
visited the cattle-show, which took place in the bar-
rack yard, and where some fine specimens of horned
cattle and horses, both for riding and draught, were
collected. Prizes were distributed in presence of
the PRINCE to the persons whose cattle were con-
sidered the finest.
During his short
i stay Louis NAPOLEON had seve-
ral conversations with the principal functionaries rela-
tive to improvements to be effected in the town, and in
its staple manufactures, which are earthenware, glass,
and china. In its neighbourhood also are iron-forges
and foundries. The streets of the town also are badly
paved, steep, and irregular, and orders have been
given to have ameliorations effected in those respects.
During his stay also the PRINCE received a great
number of addresses from the various towns in the
neighbourhood. They almost all ask for the establish-
ment of the Empire, and as a specimen we give that
which was presented to him from the inhabitants of
Clamecy. It runs thus :
" prince, the town of Clamecy, more than any other
locality, is acquainted with the evils of civil war, which
you have just put an end to in the midst of the accla-
mations of the French nation, and for the peace of all
Europe. The entire confidence which we have in you
leads us to express to you the wish, which has already
emanated from most of the Councils-General, to behold
you, Monseigneur, assume the title of Emperor, and so
to give your power that character of stability which
results necessarily from the hereditary form of govern-
ment—the only one which can suit the grandeur of your
views for the future, and for the happiness of the French
people."
At a little after nine the firing of cannon announced
that the PRINCE was about to leave Nevers. He pro-
ceeded in his carriage through the town at a walking
pace, and was again greeted with loud sbouts of
" Vive l'Empereur !" The crowd at the bridge on
the road to Magny-Cours was immense, and here he
received a last farewell, his carriage crossing the
bridge amidst reiterated cries of " Vive l'Empereur !"
The prefect and the Duke DE MORTEMART are to
accompany him as far as Villeneuve-sur-Allier.
The Assemblie Nationale, which on Thursday con-
tained nothing respecting the Duke of WELLINGTON
but the telegraphic dispatch announcing his death,
has in its number of yesterday a biography of the
deceased, and some remarks upon his public character.
The latter, which we subjoin, are conceived in a good
spirit, and are free from the exaggeration of nation-
ality which has rendered the appreciations of some of
our Paris contemporaries unjust. The Assemblee
says—
" The death of the Duke of Wellington is a subject
of public mourning for England. Never did British
subject render to his Sovereign and his country such
signal services. Even the victories of the Duke of Marl-
borough cannot equal in the souvenirs of the English
nation those of the general whom it has just lost; for
never did the power of Louis XIV cause to England a peril
to be compared to that with which the power of Napoleon
menaced it for a moment. In 1808, when the English sent
to Portugal the army, to which the thoughtlessness of
Junot gave an unforseen success, their cause appeared
desperate in Europe, and British constancy itself seemed
shaken. With a general of another character, or rather
of another temperament than that of the Duke of Wel-
lington, the intervention of the English in the wars of the
continent would, no doubt, have had another result; and
the fortune of Napoleon might have been changed. But
the Duke of Wellington had, in the highest degree, the
distinctive qualities of the English race, cool reason and
perseverance. It was by these qualities that ho slowly
succeeded in obtaining his success, and that is why those
successes are dearer to British pride. We will not say
more on this subject, to which for us are attached the
moatshouldlegitimate
bereserved t o susceptibilitiestheca lm of patriotism,
impartialtion of history. We shall, however, be permitted, and
it is useful, to remark that it was not to fortune only
that the English general owed the rare privilege of
anedxawmhini▪
cha
examina-
tion
being never defeated in a great battle, Montesqui▪
eu
has wisely said—qt is not fortune which governs
the
the
world.' The constant good fortune which accompanied
Duke of Wellington, in his military career was the fruit
of the rule of conduct which consists in not leaving
anything to chance which can be taken from it by
counsel and prudence; in other terms, only to accept
a battle with all possible chances of winning it.
.That
is assuredly a system which but little seduces the ima-
gination; but the example of the celebrated man of
whom we speak suffices to prove that reason and will
can, in the long run, triumph over the boldest and most
powerful genius. We will not endeavour to appreciate
in a few lines the Duke of Wellington a. s a political man
as well as a general. His long life, which was so varied
and so fully occupied, requires an attentive study. But
one word will express what the Duke of Wellington
was politically; his death leaves a void in the poli-
tical system of England, for ho was not only a man
of counsel, he was an authority. Although a stranger
for a long time past to active affairs, he still parti-
cipated in them by his judgment, and his approba-
tion or his blame was considered as a triumph or a
check for parties. He had the right, which belongs
to all in a free country, of telling the truth; but to him
was reserved the privilege of causing it to be accepted
by the Crown as well as by Parliament. How, then,
could England refrain from being moved, when that great
intelligence, by which she was:sure of never being misled,
becomes extinguished?"
There is a long article by M.,VERON in the Cgnsti-
tutionnsl on the visit of the PRINCE PRESIDENT to the
South. The object of the writer is chiefly to show
that by this visit the PRINCE gives fresh importance
to the population of the departments in the desire
that they feel to have a fair political influence, and to
allow Paris no longer to declare with truth that
" Paris is France." There is a great deal of truth in
the description that the writer gives of the successful
impunity with which a turbulent minority in the ca-
pital has on different occasions overthrown the exist-
ing Government, and substituted one of its own. In
no instance could the revolution be attributed to
public opinion in the proper sense of the word even in
the capital itself. It was the work of a few ambitious
men, seconded by a mob aiming at destruction, when
public opinion called only for reform.
The Ministerial organ, the Pays has an article on
the short speech made by the PRINCE PRESIDENT to
M. CHARLES DUPIN at Nevers. The Pays regards
this
speech, taken in connexion with the opinion
manifested in the departments, as indicative of the
near approach of the empire.
M. GUIZOT has just arrived in Paris, but only in-
tends to remain a short time.

Although the community in general is enjoying
almost unexampled prosperity, and every branch of
industry is flourishing, the proprietors of the Bank
of England find that the profits of the leviathan
establishment have diminished, considerably during
the past half-year.' They are consequently com-
pelled to submit to a reduction of 10s. in their divi-
dend, or 124 per cent. diminution on that declared in
March last. The Governor, in responding to the in-
terrogatory respecting this lamentable deficiency,
declared that " the banking profits of the half-year had
been less, because the rate of interest had been consi-
derably lowered." This explanation was not alto-
gether satisfactory, inasmuch as it did not appear that
there had been any falling off in other " unprotected"
concerns not enjoying privileges coequal with those
possessed by the " Old Lady of Threadneedle-street."
The joint-stock banks, whose accounts have been
published, and, we doubt not, that every judi-
ciously managed private bank, have been en-
abled, notwithstanding the reduction of interest, to
increase their profits, the augmentation of the de-
posits and increased activity more than compensating
for cheaper, discouuts. The Bank of England di-
rectors, however, appear determined to abide by their
ancient traditions. They still seem to think that
they are entrusted with the regulation of the cur-
rency, and that they can ignore the recent dis-
coveries in Australia and California, treating the
question as if the supply of gold were
still inadequate to the :. annual consumption,
or, as if they could keep back the tide of bullion flow-
ing to our ports. The attempt would be sufficiently
ludicrous, were it not rather too expensive a jest. The
proprietors are, indeed, " paying pretty dearly for
their whistle"—for the desire to maintain a reserve of
notes more than three times the amount calculated to
be required by the Bank in its own business. That
amount has bee❑ usually estimated at 4,000,000/. ster-
ling, a liberal and abundant supply for every possible
exigency. It appears, however, from the return for
the week ending the 11th September instant, that the
notes unemployed amounted to no less than
13,263,4631., and we believe that the average during
the half-year exceeded 12,000,0001., two-thirds
whereof, or 8,000,0001., might have been brought
into activity, had the directors pursued a wiser policy.
This, even at three per cent. per annum, would
have added 120,0001. to the profits of the half-
year, which, with the sum remaining undivided,
in consequence of the supposed desire of the
proprietors that " no subdivision of a dividend should
take place to a smaller extent than a half per cent."
would have enabled the declaration of a dividend of
5 in place of 3* per cent., which would have proved
a very welcome addition to the incomes of many of
the stockholders.

Liappily for England there is, in the organization of
her social system, a self-adjusting principle which
more than anything else tends, under every emergeny,
to consolidate the fabric of her Constitution. It is
this principle which has so frequently stood the coune
try in good stead when the rest of the nations of the
earth have been convulsed by what Sir ARCHIBALD
ALISON has termed the " mindquake " of revolution.
It constitutes, indeed, the most secure guarantee of
the stability of our venerable and complicated institu-
tions. This, in reality—and not the Hams Corptui,
or the Bia of Rights, or Magna Charta--:;:41` Pal-
ladium of the libatfes of Englishmen. To define
the nature ot-the principle here referred to would be i
s'lnee7ilere about as difficult as to explain that of the
inscrutable principle of electricity. Yet evidences of
the existence and power of both are incidents of daily, ;,
it might almost be said of momentary, recurrence. I
Although the intrinsic peculiarities of the former,
however, are altogether beyond the reach of •
definition, it by no means follows that
it were idle to observe with the closest
scrutiny the tokens of its extrinsic operation. Ob-
servations of this kind, on the contrary, cannot but
be as advantageous to the science of politics as the
noting down of the magnetic phenomena of the uni-
verse proves to be to the advancement of the science
of the electrician. It is among the especial duties,
moreover, of the journalist to record every circum-
stance, however minute, of this distinctive character,
just as it is that of the satirist to
" Shoot each passing folly as it ties,"
or as it is that of the dramatist to
" Catch the manners living as they
rise."
Conspicuous among the lesser securities of the
Constitution are those afforded by the reciprocation
of honours and of sympathies between the two estates
presided over by the SOVEREIGN. We do not think
that this is sufficiently appreciated by the generality.
We fancy even that it has not been more than par-
tially recognised. Nevertheless, it is only necessary,
to un-
we conceive, to glance at a very few particulars
derstand the fact to which we are here making allusion,
while it is only requisite to contrast some of those
particulars with each other to arrive at a reasouable
estimate of their value and significance. Sc-arcely
any one requires to be reminded, at any
rate,of the
additions which have been made to the number of the
Lords of England, by the eloquence and the
sometimes by the wisdom, and sometimes also by the
wealth, of the Commons of the United Kingd OM. It
is unnecessary, therefore, to do more than cursorily
rernind the observer that in this manner in various
ages the splendour of the coronet—whether adorned
with the fillet of a Baron or with the •,trawberry-
wreath of a Duke—has been conferred upon a
philosopher like BACON, upon a sea-captain like
NxLsoN, Upon a financier like LOYD, upon a
country 'quire like Col(E upon an orator
like Baougusm, and upon a military hero such as
C anaemia.. The catalogue if complete would be
sufficiently glorious in itself and would embrace,
dating more or less back into the remoteness of
antiquity, almost every house among the list of our
patrician legislators. This division of the subject
upon which we have commented as so singularly
characteristic of the community inhabiting Great
Britain, is too familiar to the majority to necessitate
anything like a further or more detailed enumeration.
Everybody knows well enough how greatly the
people have contributed to the enhancement of the
glory and the dignity cf the peerage. But it is not
equally well borne in recollection how considerably
the peerage has, in individual instances, con-
tributed either to the moral or the intellec-
tual advancement of the people. A retrospective
glance will recal to remembrance however, clearly
enough, the advantages accruing to the Commons
from the genius displayed by BOYLE as a popular
philosopher, by BYRON as a popular poet, by CLA-
RENDON as a popular historian, as well as from the
writings and researches of a NAPIER, a SURREY, and a
BOLINGBROKE. Originally, of course, these, no less
than the rest of the members of the great human
family, derived their existence from the level ranks of
the population. In speaking of their elevated labours
in science or in literature we have spoken of those
labours the benefits of which have descended upon the
people subsequently to the exaltation of their race
to the social pinnacles of the peerage. Fortunately,
however, we need not go beyond our own day for
illustrations of the advantages resulting to the general
mass of the community fiom this interchange of
sympathies, of thoughts, and of aspirations between

We really cannot conceive what advantage can be
derived from keeping so large a fund inactive. The
Act of 1844 was intended to, exonerate the directors
from all responsibility respecting the currency,
to deprive them of any discretion as to the issues.
Its policy, as explained by its devoted champion, Sir
CHARLES WOOD, was "to leave the Banking De-
partment perfectly unfettered in its operations, sub-
ject only to a weekly publication of its accounts.%
The Governor, too, adopted the same view at the
meeting on Thursday, when he spoke of " the ac-
counts of the Bank being divided into entirely sepa-
rate divisions, leaving the issue department on its own
footing, and the banking department on the same
principle as any other joint-stock company carrying
on the banking business in England." The strange
Policy) we had almost said " mismanagement," of
permitting more than eight millions to lie idle and
unproductive is therefore utterly inexplicable. The
proprietors are the chief sufferers, and they should',
initiate the proceedings to obtain a suitable refor-
mation.

The Bourse was extremely animated, and public secu-
rities, particularly railway shares, rose in price. The
Four-and-a-Half per Cents. opened at iO3f. 90c., and
closed at 103 f. 95c. for the end of the month; the Three
per Cents. closed at 77f. 90c.; Orleans Railway Shares,
1,456 f. 25c. ; Rouen, 880 f.; Havre, 380 f.; Great Northern,
705 f.; Avignon, 490 f.; Basle, 316 f. 25c.; Paris and
Strasburg, 735 f.; Paris and Lyons, 802 f. 50c.; Lyons and
Avignon, 598 f. 75c.; Western of France, 610 f. ; St.
Dizier to Gray, 540 f.

There can be no doubt that one of the chief causes
of this unwise course is the constant change
in the 'management.
Each director is look-
ing forward to the period when he shall
of
assume the position Governor; and when his
ambition has been gratified—when

---- is nott
influenced by the idea that he is to surrender his
place at the termination of the current year; he has
therefore full opportunity to inaugurate any
peculiar policy that may require time for its de-

of the Bank of England is afraid to venture on
any experiment, however promising, the re-
sults of which may remain unascertained at
the termination of his period of office.
It is the same in every joint-stock or private esta-
blishment in either country. The shareholders who
would displace a manager of known efficiency to
make way for an untried man would be regarded as
persons incapable of managing their own affairs.
_ There was much weight in the argument of Mr.
DE WINTON-a gentleman of great experience and
sound judgment in banking transactions—that a copy
of the accounts for the past half-year should be placed
in the hands of every proprietor of 5001. stock some
days before the meeting. The meagre information at
present afforded is of no practical utility in enabling

COWES, SEPT. 17.—The long-talked-of Swedish
schooner-yacht arrived here on Saturday last. She is a
likely-looking craft, at least 100 tons larger than the
America, and nearly similar in appearance. She is fore
and aft schooner rigged; her masts aro very close toge-
ther and lofty. She belongs to the Swedish Yacht Club,
or ‘‘ Stockholm's Segel Seilskop," and is called the
Sverige, of about 300 tons, built at Stockholm by a Mr.
Andersen, and is commanded by Captain Beckman, one
of the owners, having been only four days on her voyage
from Gothenberg to this port. We understand the.
owner speaks favourably of her sailing qualities, and in
coming to this country was to compare her speed with
our own yachts. Her dimensions are 111 feet on deck,.
with 25 feet beam, her cabins are large and lofty, and is
manned by 17 hands, all told. Her mainmast and top-
mast, which are in one, measure 110 feet.

ELOPEMENT AND ROBBERY.
(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)
COWES, ISLE OF WIGHT, SEPTEMBER 17.—The tact
of our police was put to the test yesterday, and they
dashed off in different directions in quest of Mr. Kernot,
jun., on the information of his mother that he had gone
off with the servant girl, and had stolen a deposit note
of hers for 6001. The fact came to light by his having
tried to obtain the day before 2001. from the Hampshire
Bank, part of the 6001., stating that his mother had lost
the deposit note, and requesting that another might be
sent for 4001. and 2001. in cash. Finding that this trick
would not succeed, he got the possession of the note and
went off to Newport, where he obtained the 2001. and
deposited the note. The letter from the bank having
reached Mrs. Kernot, she immediately went home to see
that the deposit note was safe where she had placed it,
but found that it Iva; gone. Suspecting that her son had
stolen it, she gave information to the police, and Ser-
geant White, who had taken the Hyde road, posted
himself on the Pier. Steamer after steamer left, but
Dr. Charles Middleton Kernot's hopeful son did not

THE SOUTH. IVESTERN RAILWAY.--110 South-
Western Railway Company are causing to be erected a new
station-house at Richmond, on the Windsor line, and in-
creasing the public accommodation in other respects at this
important point on the line. Before the extension of this
line of railway to Windsor, the In:
w.chmond station was the
terminus, and, on the new line being formed, it was made to
diverge to the right, so that the spacious station premises
then in use became of no service on the new line, and some
sheds have hitherto served the purpose of a station, the ac-
commodation afforded being totally inadequate and puerile,
considering the great traffic and the amount of business
transacted. The company have now, however, caused a
handsome building to be erected, in keeping with the other
very pretty stations on this line of railway (with the ex-
ception of Wandsworth, which is nothing more than a
common wooden building); and the addititions and im-
provements altogether at this station will be more in keep-
ing with the importance of the place, and afford ample com-
fort and convenience to the public.

committee, having heard the parties and evidence adduced
on both sides, are of opinion that the Thought was guilty of
foul sailing on two distinct occasions during the match, viz.,
in Woolwich-reach, going down, and in Gravesend.reach,'
coming back. They consequently- awarded the prize to the
Whisper ; which, having won the cup last year, becomes, by
this decision, its permanent possessor; the Whisper having
been successful two consecutive years, the conditions upon

CHANCELLORSHIP OF THE UNIVERSITY OF OXFORD.
—FRIDAY EVENING.—(From our Oxford Correspondent.)—
A report prevails here Cis afternoon that the party unfavour-
able to Lord Derby's election have come to a resolution that
it would be highly inexpedient, under existing sircum.
stances, to oppose the election of the Noble Earl. It is
hoped, therefore, that the University will be spared a con-
test on this occasion.—Herald.
THE MILITIA IN WALEs.—General meetings of
the lieutenancies of the various Welsh counties have been
held, and the customary steps taken, for the enrolment of
the various quotas of men for each county. Irt Carmarthen..
shire no great difficulty is expected in procuring a sufficient
number of men as volunteers. In Flineshire, however, great
disinclination has been manifested against volunteering, a
fact which may be traced to the harvest operations having
given full work to the labourers. Now that agricultural ope-
rations are not so pressing, it is deemed that volunteers will
be more plentiful. No fewer' than 670 men aro required for
the county of Glamorgan, for the raising of which number
the ballot will be necessary, as the iron trade and its adjunct
the coal trade, are in full activity, and labour is not over-
abundant.

TIIE TURF.—We have reason to know that Captain
Archdall, M.P. for Fermanagh, whose name is so familiar to
racing
sporting circles, has given up his connexion with the turf,
and has recently been engaged in disposing of his excellent
stud.—Fermanash Mail.

handsome lodge has been erected at the entrance gate formed

although enclosed in a light railing now being thee
presents a pleasing appearance, and is a decided ornament
to the lace. An imortant improvement in connexisa
with the opening of these pleasure grounds to the public has
been effected. by entirely throwing the grounds open at
the
extremity abutting on the large meadow and park grounds,
extending from the KOW and Richmond road to the river._
By this improvement a splendid view of the whole length of
the pleasure grounds is obtained from the open road, withou!
destroying the privacy of them in the slightest degree, and
the handsome and unique building at this point of the
grounds, known as the Pagoda, is seen from the top to the
very base of the building to the fullest advantage, which has
never before been the case.
