FROM OUR LONDON CORRESPONDENT.

MONDAY MORNING

THE great duty has been fulfilled—the great solemnity
has been held ; all the funeral honours and all the heart-
felt respect that a free people could pay to the most illus-
trious of subjects has been generously accorded ; the
mortal ashes of the conquerorof Waterloo repose in peace,
" after life's fitful fever," side by side. with the invincible
victor of the Nile, of Copenhagen, and of Trafalgar—be-
neath that stupendous dome, the grandest monument of
architectural genius ever raised by English hands. Since
the 14th of Sept., it may fairly be asserted, that but one
paramount idea pervaded the public mind—that but one

absorbing business occupied the thoughts of the whole
community : how to concentrate in the most delicate and
graceful form the national sentiment of gratitude to a
departed soldier and statesman of unparalleled ability,
and how to perform an act of solemn ceremony
in memory of his achievements, which, recorded in
imperishable history, would live resplendent when
marble shall be crumbeld into dust, and when
iron and brass shall be obliterated by the effac-
ing hand of time. Such idea has been grandly car-
ried out ; such an act has been most worthily accom-
plished. Never before did such a capital of such an
empire exhibit such a demonstration of solid imperial
power, of unanimous feeling, of profound emotion, of be-
fitting magnificence, of reverential homage—of wealth, of
dignity, of heart—as did London on Thursday last, when
her two million citizens, assisted by a million of deputies
representing every parish in the three kingdoms, bore the
corse of the immortal WELLINGTON to its glorious resting-
place in the Cathedral of St. Paul. Many pens have been
employed in describing that superb and awful ceremonial,
many eloquent tongues have laboured to find words to give
expression to the sentiments it inspired ; but all have
failed to convey an adequate idea of the reality.

It was not the r

night and

ads of people

'sing in the dead of

in lengthened lin

and forming in

countless masses, and waiting in solemn silence for the
breaking morn and for the appointed hour, that consti-

ed the

s of this extraordinary spectacle—

early as Lis whole reputation is founded on his Parliamen-
tary practice. Perhaps cunning Sir ALEXANDER, in
looking into bis brief, found the case too bad to be risked,
and therefore he slipped out of it on the pretence of
informality.

COJIMERCIAL AND MONETARY NEWS.

MONDAY NIGHT.

WE have had a dull week in commercial circles,
the holiday of Thursday, and the absence from town
of a considerable number of our merchants and
brokers, exercising an unfavourable effect upon
business. Under any circumstances, however, the
anxiety to learn what is the policy about to be
announced by the Chancellor of the Exchequer
would account for a disinclination to enter upon
active operations. Upon this head, Messrs. T. and
H. Littledale and Co. remark in their bi-monthly
Circular, published on Saturday last :—" The im-
provement noticed in our last circular has continued
throughout the past three weeks, and a large busi-
ness has been done in the leading articles of pro-
duce. The brown descriptions of SUGAR, suitable
for refining purposes, have been in particular re-
quest, and the article of TEA has continued to
attract attention. Consumption of nearly every
article is progressing most satisfactorily, and with
diminishing stocks, we may reasonably look for a
further moderate advance in prices. The last day
or two there has not been much doing, the burial
of the Duke taking precedence of everything else.
The Budget is also looked forward to with interest,
it being generally believed that 'he Chancellor of
the Exchequer is about to introduce a most com-
prehensive measure with regard to taxation, and the
Customs, and the Excise duties generally."
