[NEW TIMES.]

The details of tie ceremonial of the interment
of the interment of the late Marquis of London-
derry occupied a considerable space in our paper
of yesterday. Respectable men of all parties
will have learnt with disgust, that on this solemn
occasion—one on which even well-founded en-
mities commonly buried in- oblivion—that
even. on the very brink of the grave some enemies
of public order displayed their rancorous
.The expressions of brutal joy which were
heard, although they came from the lips of a very
few only of the assembled multitude, may serve
to give us a salutary warning- that the evil spirit
" is not dead but only sleeps."—Shocking as such
conduct must be to every feeling of delicacy and
humanity, it would, be idle in us to say that it
excites our astonishthent. It may at once be
traced to the worst feeling of human nature,
worked upon and heightened by the wicked and
daring misrepresentations of the seditious prints.
Against the Marquis-of Londonderry, more than
any other Member of the Ministry, Were the atro-
cious libels of these prints-directed.- Every kind
of -falsehood and slander that could injure him as
a Minister and as a inati Was cast upon him.
At-the radical meetings he was denounced as the
grea.tOt of all the criuithals whorn the " people"
were called upon to fyunish ; and the Cato-street
conspirators—men who knew and thought no-
thing that they had n6t learnt from Cobbett,
Garble, and Thii Times—mailed him as the
especial object of their demoniacal vengeance.

The Emperor -of "Russia is expected to arrive
hi Vienna on the 6th Or .7th of twit month, fOi•
the pufpose of assisting at a Congress of the
Sovereigns or Representatives of the several Great
Pow ers of Europe. A Hamburgh Paper in announc-
ing this intelligence adds, that the King of Prussia
will not attend at this Congress, and that a great
mystery seems to prevail respecting it. There
are two subjects which at the present crisis
might properly occupy the attention of a
Congress, • namely, the propriety of putting
an end to the inhuman warfare that rages
between the Greeks and Turks, and of re-
cognising freely the independence and sove-
reignty of Mexico, Colombia, Buenos Ayres,
Chili, and Peru. In observing, however, that
such topics might properly occupy the attention
of the assembled. Kings and Ministers, we do not
mean to imply that. the several Powers of
.Eu-
rope might not with far greater propriety deter-
mine within their respectlVe Cabinets upon the
line of policy which they ought severally to pur-
sue upon these two important subjects. If-it be
an advantage to any State to act in conformity
with its Allies, this advantage may be sought in
the ordinary way by negotiation; but we have
no hesitation in saying, that a Government com-
promises its own dignity, and betrays the true
interests of the people intrusted to its care, if
it should submit questions relating to the expe-
diency of any proposed measures affecting the
honour and well-being of the State to the judg-
ment and votes of foreign Potentates.

[MORNINU HERALD.]
The foreign PaPers are filled with details of
the death of the late Marquis of Londonderry,
-and observations on his character as a Statesman.
Of the latter, beyond his talents in his place in
Parliament, but little can be known to the world
until long after his decease. Who is—at least,
how few are—in a situation to know the secrets
Of the Cabinet—its discussions, where the coun-
sel succeeded, or where it failed. In like
Manner the secrets of diplomatic negotiations,
—the advantages which the Ambassador may
have gained or thrown away,—the difficulties
which he may have overcome, and the- firm-
ness or weakness which he may have shown,
are beyond the reach of the common eye,
until the great actor has been long removed from
the stage of life. It is not till then that a Mini-
ster's merits or detherits—stripped of the glare of
his name and office in the State--can be steadily
judged. Some Doddington or Walpole of the pre-
sent day, perhaps some " Quarterly Reviewer,"
in the demi-confidence of public affairs,—will
hereafter tell more in one sentence of the late
Minister, than would be contained in a volume
written at the moment, by either his eulogist or
traducer. There is one trait in' his character, or
more properly in his public career, which deserves
notice—his success. Few Ministers have been
more uniformly successful in the measures over
which they presided than the late Marquis Of
Londonderry ! but without derogating from his
sagacity, it is impossible not to attribute some-
thing to fortunate circumstances. During the
administration of Mr. Pitt, he was eclipsed by
the extraordinary genius of that Minister ; hut
he had this advantage, from his suborinate
position, that the failure of the efforts, Made
by the Administration against the foreign
enemy, were not placed to his account. The
only serious discomfiture which he met with,
was that of the Walcheren expedition, ; and in
that instance candour must attribute much of the
ill success to circumstances beyond the Minister's
controul. Upon the death of Mr. Perceval he
became more prominent as a member of the Ad-
ministration ; and after the first disasters in the
Peninsula of Spain and Portugal, his course in
public life has been one of unexampled pUhlic
success.
