FUNERAL OF THE LATE MAJOR-GEN.
JAMES WOLFE, CONQUEROR OF CA-
NADA, SEPT. 13, 1759.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SlR,—The following appears in W. A. Russell's
" History of England," p. 755, in a foot note :
" The remains of this gallant hero were deposited
in that country for the defence of which he had lost
his life. On Sunday, Nov. 17, at 7 o'clock in the
morning, his Majesty's ship Royal William (in
which his corpse was brought from Quebec to Ports-
mouth) fired two signal guns for the removal of his
remains. At 8 o'clock the body was lowered out of
the ship into a 12-oared barge, towed by two 12-
oafed barges, and attended by 12 others to the bot-
tom of the Point, in a train of gloomy, silent pomp,
suitable to the melancholy occasion. Minute guns
were fired from the ships at Spithead, from the time
of the body's leaving the ship to its being landed at
Portsmouth, which was one hour. The regiment of in-
valids was ordered under arms before 8, and, being
joined by a company of the train at Portsmouth,
marched from the parade there to the bottom of the
Point to receive the remains. At nine the body was
landed and put into a hearse, attended by a mourn-
ing coach (both sent from London), and proceeded
through the garrison. The colours on the fort were
struck half flag-staff; the bells were muffled, and
rung in solvmn concert withthe march; minute guns
were fired on the platform, from the entrance of the
corpse to the close of the procession ; the company
of the train led the van, with their arms reversed ;
the corpse followed, and the invalid regiment fol-
lowed the hearse, their arms reversed. They con-
ducted the body to the Landport gates, where the
train opened to the right and left, and the hearse
proceeded through them on the way to London.
Although there were many thousands of people as-
sembled on this occasion, not the least disturbance
happened ; nothing was to be heard but murmur-
ing broken accents in praise of the dead hero. On
the 20th, at night, his remains were deposited in
the burial-place belonging to his family, at Green-
wich. A noble monument was afterwards erected
for him in Westminster Abbey, on the front of
which is the following inscription :
" To the Memory of
JAMES WOLFE,
Major-General and Commander-in-Chief
.if the British Land Farces,
On an expedition against Quebec ;
Who, after surmounting by ability and valour
All obstacles of art and nature,
Was slain in the moment of victory
On the 13th of September, 1759,
The King and Parliament of Great Britain
Dedicate this monument."

Perhaps in these days of " centenaries," together
with the opening of the " Victoria Bridge in Canada"
and the " Departure of the Great Eastern," you may
deem the above quotation of some interest to the
public. Of Westerham, may we not say with
Goldsmith

" Olin Desertus nunc Florens ?"
I am, Sir, your obedient servant,

JAMAICA, AUG. 26.—We regret to state that
there has not been any improvement during the
past fortnight in the very dull state of things
mentioned in our last report. Fortunately we
have had scarcely any addition to stocks. The
imports, since our last issue, amount comparatively
to nothing ; and consequently, although purchasers
have continued in their disinclination to operate
largely, prices remain pretty generally as last
quoted, with the exception of flour, which has
declined in consequence of advices from the States.
The Falmouth disturbances are at an end. Very
complimnetary addresses have been presented to
the Governor, owing to some unjustifiable attacks
which had been made on him by a portion of the
local press. The weather is favourable, and the
island generally healthy.

METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET.

To-day's market was well supplied with beasts as to
numbers, but their general quality was inferior. Prime
breeds were in moderate request at Monday's currency, but
inferior beasts were very dull, and almost nominal in price.
Prime sheep were scarce, and in fair request on former
terms ; otherwise the mutton trade was heavy at barely late
rates. We have to report a dull inquiry for calves, the
supply of which Was moderate, at about Monday's decline
in value. Pigs realised previous rates, but mileh cows
fwere very dull. •

the Leeds Mercury, that ne day has been fired for the
hearing before the umpire, !Ind it is expected that a month

FRANCE.

It is stated this afternoon that 12,000 French
troops are ordered to be held in readiness to leave
for China. General Wimpfen is talked of as likely
to command them. There is also a rumour—to
which, however, I should be slow in attaching
weight—of a tendency to agreement between Eng-
land and France on the subject of a European Con-
gress for the settlement of Italy.

THE LATE EMPEROR OF MOROCCO.

The following biographical sketch of the late
Emperor of Morocco is by the Pays :—" Muley
Abder Rahman was born in November, 1778, and
was consequently 81 years of age. He was only
sixteen when his father died, but his uncle, Mula-
Soleinian, seized the throne, and occupied it until
1822, when he died, and the nephew succeeded.
Mulei-Soleiman was so dreadfully cruel that he in-
vented tortures never before heard of. Amongst
other things he was accustomed on getting on his
horse to pull a pistol from his bolster and blow out
the brains of the slave who had held the
bridle. He was accustomed also at times
to take a number of poor wretches, and
have walls built around them up to their
heads ; then he had their heads and faces covered
with honey to attract flies and other insects, and
he took pleasure in witnessing the torture which
the unfortunate men endured. Muley Abder
Rahman did not imitate this monster, and conse-
quently acquired a reputation for humanity. He
was possessed of political talent, and was able to
neutralise, one against the other, the hostile factions
of his empire. In his old age he was often
engaged in disputes with France and other Euro-
pean Powers. He perfectly understood the neces-
sity of reducing to subjection the insurgent tribes
of his empire who caused these conflicts ; but he
considered himself too old to undertake such a
task. Muley Abder Rahman had. 17 children. The
eldest of his sons and his successor, Sidi Mohamed,
was born in 1803, and is consequently 56 years of
age. He is of an energetic character, Several of the
governors of provinces are his enemies, and some
large tribes on the west are hostile to him, so that
he will have great difficulties to encounter in ascend-
ing the throne. Five years ago he went on a pil-
grimage to Mecca and Medina, and his eldest son,
by his orders, is now making a pilgrimage to those
holy places. An aunt of the present Emperor, who
enjoyed a great reputation for sanctity, died last
year in returning from Mecca, and was buried in
the mosque at Djeddah."

A Guide to the Coast of Sussex.
A Guide to the Coasts of Hants and Dorset.
A Guide iotheC'easts of Devon and Cornwall.
A Guide to the Coast of Kent.
By Mackenzie Walcott, M.A., author of " Cathe-
drals of England and Wales," &c. Stanford,
Charing-cross.

The great practical convenience of small pocket
guides to the tourist and traveller has long been
generally acknowledged, and those before us be-
long to the best of their class. They describe the
scenery, give the historical, legendary, and archmo-
logical 'associations, a list of the rides, walks, and
places for excursions in the neighbourhood of all
the chief towns and principal localities along the
coast. The motto has been happily selected from no
less an authority than Bacon—" If you will have a
man to put his travel into a little room, and in a
short time to gather much, let him carry with him
some card or book describing the courAry where he
travelleth, which will be a gor;,:t key to his in-
quiry." The value of this ad-, ice does no discredit
to the sound sense of the Philosopher, as a tourist,
unacquainted with tte place he visits, may have
the mortification of discovering, on his return home,
that he has o':erlooked places of historical note, or
beautiful scenery, accessible by an easy walk or drive.
The Volumes before us form part of a series of hand-
books which are designed to illustrate the more
southern coast of England, from the Reculvers to the
Land's End. The writer confesses that he has
undertaken the ambitious task of persuading hiS
readers that their own country has superior attrac-
tions for them than the continent possesses, since as
he asserts, many wander, ignorant of foreign lan-
guages, and unfamiliar with the history of the
plaoes visited. Those who do not fully appreciate
the advantages of their own country will do well
to provide themselves with these little handbooks,
which are sufficiently attractive to tempt the idler
from his domicile, and will materially assist the
mare active and adventurous traveller.

GLOUCESAER MUSICAL FESTIVAL.

GLOUCESTER, WEDNESDAY.

For three consecutive hours the bells of St. Mary,
the crypt church, rang a muffled peal last evening,
by way of prelude to the first secular concert of the
festival—rather a lugubrioua weleomp for tho
tors. The occasion was the funeral of a veteran
musician and banker of Gloucester, Thos. Turner,
Esq., who at the ripe age of 77 has just been
gathered to his fathers. Mr. Turner was an ardent
supporter of these meetings, and his presence was
looked for as regularly as the festivals came round.
He was in a manner a perennial steward, and his
venerable person is much missed. The weather
continued last night most uninviting, but neverthe-
less the attendance at the concert was fully an
average one for a first evening. The following was
the programme:—
London, England, 1859-09-15

LITERATURE.

together one of the most finished performances of
the great composition perhaps ever accomplished.
Principals and chorus were all thoroughly up to
their work, there was no noticeable hitch from be-
ginning to end, and the result was, as already
stated, a most satisfactory finish. After the open-
ing recitative and overture the first chorus of
Israelites, " Help, Lord,' was delivered with a
power and feeling which attested the efficiency of
the choral body. The appearance in the orchestra
of Sims Reeves gave satisfaction to many of his
admirers who had feared lest he should have been
unable to take his important share in the oratorio.
Whatever may have been the extent of sickness
under which he laboured last night, it is certain
that he had quite recovered. His first song,
"If with all your hearts," fully attested
this, and he was equally effective in
" Then shall the righteous shine forth." The
double quartett, " Lift thine Eyes," was done ample
justice to by Mme. Novello, Mrs. Hepworth, Miss
Dolby, Miss Lascelles, Mr. Montem Smith, Mr.
Hunt (of the Cathedral choir), Mr. Thomas, and
Signor Belletti. In the recitative, " Now Cherib's
brook," Miss Dolby's delivery of the words, " And
the barrel of meal," to the end, " The Lord sendeth
rain upon the earth," was most impressive. Then
followed the great Novello—the prop of the orato-
rios at these festivals—who rendered the recitative
of the widow, " Help me, man of God," in the most
dramatic style. Belletti declaimed the prayer,
" Turn unto her," better than any foreigner ever
gave it before him ; but still, with all his acknow-
ledged talent, he wants the English feeling which
Weiss gives to this and the rest of the Prophet
music. Belletti's reading, however, was very care-
ful, and the passages between the widow and " The
prophet of the Lord " were given with won-
derful effect, so that the rising of the widow's
son was pictured to the mind's eye through
the other senses by the wonderful power of
musical descri:piion, as conceived by the com•
poser and carried out by the talent of the ar-
tists to whom was entrusted their interpretation.
The eitl;cious quartett, "Cast thy burden," was
marred by want of the bass part, which was allotted
to Belletti, who did not seem aware of this at first.
His enunciation of the spirit-stirring air, " Is not
his word like a fire," was fine, but wanted the fire
which we have been wont to see infused into it.
Miss Lascelles had little to do in the oratorio, but
this little was done well. Her " Woe, woe unto
them who forsake him," was chastely rendered. In
the duet between the youth and the prophet, "Go
up now, child," Mrs .Clare Hepworth sang her part
correctly ; and the concluding chorus of the first
part, " Thanks be to God," was sung amidst an
timed but very general moveamongst the audienc,o,
who although they had only been sitting an hour
and a half, appeared over-anxious for luncheon,

AQUATICS.

EXCITING SCIJLLERS' RACE.
An exciting scullers' race took place yesterday for £lO
aside between two landsmen of Bermondsey, named
Laming and Robinson. The distance was from Putney to
Barnes, and a large number of the friends of the parties
assembled to witness the race, betting being 12 to 10 on
Laming. His umpire and pilot was Tom White, and
Robinson's, Henry Kelly ; and Mr. Clarke, of Bermondsey,
was referee. Robinson won the best place, the wind being
very rough, and the labour left-handed. The start was
Even ; directly after which Laming took the lead, and was
clear at Finch's. Between here and Hammersmith, Robin-
son came on to his quarter several times, but, catching a
orab at the bridge, he fell behind. Robinson came up again
at the bottom of Chiswick Ait. They rowed scull and
scull to the other end, and then Laming was exhausted,
and Robinson won easily. He trained at Salter's, Wands-
worth.

ROYAL MORTLAKE REGATTA.
A regatta, under the excellent direction of Frank God-

FATHER POINT.—A discussion has arisen in the
New York papers on the corruct orthography and true
meaning of the name of the station on the St. Lawrence
whence news is telegraphed to all parts of North America
on the arrival of every Canadian steamer. Les Courrier
des Etats Unis says the name given to the place by the
French, on the discovery of the country, was Pointe-aux-
Peres, which in English is Father's Point, and not, as
generally supposed by persons ignorant of historical geo-
graphy, Farther Point.—Toronto Leader.

FUNERAL OF THE LATE MAJOR-6Elr.
JAMES WOLFE, CONQUEROR OF CA-
NADA, SEPT. 13, 1759.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
SlR,—The following appears in W. A. Russell's
" History of England," p. 755, in a foot note :
" The remains of this gallant hero were deposited
in that country for the defence of which he had lost
his life. On Sunday, Nov. 17, at 7 o'clock is the
morning, his Majesty's ship Royal William (in
which his corpse was brought from Quebec to Ports-
mouth) fired two signal guns for the removal of his
remains. At 8 o'clock *le body was lowered out of
the ship into a 12-oared barge, towed by two 12-
oared barges, and attended by 12 others to the bot,
tom of the Point, in a train of gloomy, silent pomp,
suitable to the melancholy occasion. Minute guns
were fired from the ships at Spithead, from the time
of the body's leaving the ship to its being landed at
Portsmouth, which was one hour. The regiment of in-
valids was ordered under arms before 8, and, being
joined by a company of the train at Portsmouth,
marched from the parade there to the bottom of the
Point to receive the remains. At nine the body was
landed and put into a hearse, attended by a mourn-
ing coach (both sent from London), and proceeded
through the garrison. The colours on the fort were
struck half flag-staff; the bells were muffled, and
rung in solemn concert with the march; minute guns
were fired on the platform, from the entrance of the
corpse to the close of the procession ; the company
of the train led the van, with their arms reversed ;
the corpse followed, and the invalid regiment fol-
lowed the hearse, their arms reversed. They con-
ducted the body to the Landport gates, where the
train opened to the right and left, and the hearse
proceeded through them on the way to London.
Although there were many thousands of people as-
sembled on this occasion, not the least disturbance
happened ; nothing was to be heard but murmur?-
ing broken accents in praise of the dead hero. On
the 20th, at night, his remains were deposited in
the burial-place belonging to his family, at Green-
wich. A noble monument was afterwards erected
for him in Westminster Abbey, on the front of
which is the following inscription :

"To The Meniory of
JAMES WoLFE,
Major-General and Commander-in-Chief
.if the British Land Forces,
On an expedition against Quebec ;
Who, after surmounting by ability and valour
All obstacles of art and nature,
Was slain in the moment of victory
nn tho tah of Sipirovol.r, 1759,
The King and Pariluitent of Great Britain
DedioAto this monument."

Perhaps in these days of " centenaries," together
with the opening of the ' Victoria Bridge in Canada"
and the " Departure of the Great Eastern," you may
deem the above quotation of some interest to the
public. Of Westerham, may we not say with
Goldsmith

SELF-PRESERVATION : A Medical Treatise
on NERVOUS DEBILITY and FUNCTIONAL
WEAKNESS, more particularly in reference to the INFIR-

tracing the Origin of these distressing afflictions to causes
which vitiate the very fountains of Life and prematurely de-
stroy the vigour of Manhood. With Practical Observations
on the Cure of these Diseases, and on the extraordinary re-
storative power of LOCAL GALVANISM in Spermatorrhcea,
Impotence, and Sterility, in which cases it is applied without
pain or danger, and is frequently successful without the aid

but as the new Medical Act provides that none but registered
practitioners shall assume any medical title, those that are
legally qualified can readily be distinguished—a point of great
importance in cases where secrecy, confidence, and skill are
equally requisite.
In the new edition of 'Self-Preservation,' facts of para-
mount utility are brought together—facts appealing to the
prudence of all who are suffering from affections which in-
volve the enfeeblement and ultimate loss of those powers
without which man forfeits the dignity of nature, and sinks to
the most pitiable depths of physical and moral degradation.
In cases where the vital essences have been weakened by the
influences of tropical climates, by pernicious habits, indiscri-
minate excesses improper diet, hardship, or by iniudicious
treatment, the means of cure adopted by the author, in con-
junction with the application of Local Galvanism, have gene-
rally been found successful, even in cases where recovery had
been pronounced impossible.

catch of the season. A good beginning, truly I The
mackerel were caught off the Isle of Wight, and so great
was the number that a quantity of the nets actually sank to
the bottom from the weight of the fish. There is a pro-
bability of their being yet recovered ; but even if such is
not the case, the loss of a few pounds (the nets are, we be-
lieve, valued at about £2 each) can be borne without com-
plaining, when it is taken into consideration that the catch
is worth something like £2OO.

THE LATE FALL OF HOUSES IN KENTISH-TOWN.
The Superintending Architect laid be/pre the bOard a
report from the district surveyor on the late fall of.buildinga
in Kentish-town. It stated that Mr. Philip Hardwick, under
whose control the buildings in Garsford-street had been
erected, had taken every precaution for their safety. The
materials were perfectly satisfactory, and the fault was in
the mode of construction. Mr. John Stevens, the builder,
engaged with a bricklayer to carry up the brickwork at 355.
per rod f6r labour, but failed to dictate any terms of control
over his siitordinates, and failed also to keep : pace with
them for the supply of timber, and in the execution of the
carpenter's Work. The bricklayers were remonstrated
with for sat waiting, but they refused, and went on to finish
their job,*und carried up the party walls B and C to the
top. The latter having chimneys and a badly constructed
scaffold only on one side, had no support or stay on that
side, for a height of 30 feet or more • the wall thus built in
the winter, and without bond of an kind, broke off at the
level of the second floor and knocked down the uppervortion
of a 'party wall. The concussion caused the ilank7wall to
buckle, and the top 'portion to fall outwards abo{it 36 hours
afterwards. It was perfectly upright before, bgt built ler
two stories and upwards without timber. The acident was
attributable entirely to: the- carelessness of the workmen, and
the want of proper management in the builder,L The report
then goes on to recommend that in any fiitire amended act
a discretionary power to be given to the district surveyor to
allow such bond as may, in his opinion, be an advantage to
the structure, without being a detriment in case of fire.
This communication was referred to the Committee of
Works and General Purposes. .
THE APPROPRIATION OF BERKELEY-HOUSE.
Mr. Leslie brought forward some resolutions. in favour of
a cancellation of the agreement with Government in refer-
ence to Berkeley House, but
- The CHAIRMAN said as the plans for the alteration of
Berkeley house were now before her Majesty's Govern-k
ment, until that resolution, authorising their presentation,
was rescinded, these resolutions could not be entertained.
Mr. LESLIE said if that were se` ho would now give the
necessary notices for that purpose.
The board then. adjourned. '
