FUNERAL OF MRS. MADISON.

Yesterday the funeral of the lament
ed Mrs. MADISON, so long one of the
brightest ornaments of the society of
Washington and of the nation, took place
from st. Johns church. From ten O'Clock
in the morning the body was exposed in
the church, and was visited by numbers
anxious to take last look at her who had
been so long the observed of all observers,
and who had, after occupying as exalted
a position as a woman may in America,
showed in private life that she had cast
dignity on, not received lustre from it. At
the hour fixed for the funeral the church
was thronged, the President and most of the
Cabinet being present, with almost every
one connected with the Government in an
official capacity. The beautiful service of
the Episcopal church was read by the
Rev. Messrs. Pine and French, after which
a procession was formed according to the
programme published yesterday, under the
direction of the Marshal of the District
and the Clerk of the Supreme Court of the
United States. The cortege moved from
st. Johns to Pennsylvania avenue, the
different bells of the city tolling the while,
and then proceeded to the Congressional
Cemetery, where the body was deposited
for the present, until arrangements shall
have been made for removing it to its final
resting-place, the cemetery at Montpelier,
Orange county, Virginia, the family seat
where Mr.. Madison was buried. Mrs.
Madison was the last survivor of the i'm
mediate families Of those Of our Chief Ma
gistrates who participated in the strife and
councils Of the Revolution. Regmescaf.

Tn. History Of tn. puI,en.y Guinea.

In the British Museum is a collection Of coins,
among which is one called the Pui,eney Guinea,
so called from the following circumstance:
William Pueney, Afterwards Earl Of Bath, was
remarkable alike for his oratorlcal talents and his
long and consistent opposition to the measures Of
Sir Robert Walpole, the great Wing minister. On
the IIth Of February, 114I, time when party
feeling was at its height, Wslpoe received an init
nation in the House Of Commons that it was the
intention Of the opposition to lmpeach him To
this menace he replied with his usual composure
and self-complscence, merely requesting fair and
candid hearing and winding up his speech with the
quotations.
anil conscIre sibi, null paescere culpe"
With his usual tact, PulteDey Immediately rose,
and observed, that the right honorable genuemans
logic and Latin were alike inaccurate, and that
Horace, whom he bad just mlsquoted had written
'nulla paescere cupa.' Walpoe maintained
thar his quotation was correct and bet was offered
The matter was thereupon referred TO Nicholas
Jardinge. Clerk of the House, an excellent CLASH
cal scholar. who decided against Walpoe. The
minister accordingly took guinea from his pocket
and flung il across the House 10 Pueney The
latter caught it, and holding it up, exclaimed, dts
the only money have received from the treasury
for many wears and il shall be the last.n THIS
ouipea having been carefully preserved, finally
came into the hands Of SIR John Murray, by whom
II was presented IN 1928 10 the British Museum

AFFAIRS OF FRANCE.

Placed between the two extremes of
reckless and unprincipled radicalism on
the one side, and ain infatuated conserva-
tism on the other, the sincere republicans
of France are truly in dangerous and en-
barrassing predicament. After weighing
the representations and Misrepresentation
of both the extreme parties, we can enter
tain little doubt that the government, and
the presses in its interest, have greatly
over-estimated or designedly exaggerated
the objects and facts of the late demonstra-
ton in Paris at the Conservatoire des Arts
ct des Meters. True it is, that menaces
calculated to excite the most serious alarm
had been uttered by some of the Red Re-
publican journals; open appeals to the peo-
pie to rise against the government had
appeared in one Of them; and Ledru Roll
lin had threatened, in the Assembly, a
resort to the forcible alternative. The sim
ultaneous disturbances at Lyons and other
cities would seem to indicate a wide and
deep-laid conspiracy; and documents are
said to have been found, nominating Ledru
Rollin dictator of the Democratic and So
cial Republic, with the power of life and
death over every French citizen; SERGEANT
Boichot minister of war, SC. With regard
to the latter report, every one acquainted
with the intrigues and manpuvres of the
French police will recognise at once that
the documents were manufactured to or
der, to produce an effect upon the public
mind, to alarm the timid, and rouse the
Indignation of the brave. There are some
features in the movement, however, which
preclude thJsupposition of an intended
rising against the government.
Apparently great popular manifesto
ton against the government, because OF
their interference in Italy--a measure
| plainly in violation of the constitution as
well as repugnant to every principle of re-
publcanism-was all that was planned.
In the existing feverish state of the public
mind in regard to emeutes, this manifesto
ton was doubtless unreasonable and i'm
polite; but that it was designed to over
throw government and introduce disorder
is incredible. Some few of the more hot
headed of the malcontents, who took part
in the procession, cried sfto armsF' but
the reclamation met with few responses;
and the immense assemblage Of $4,000 cit
liens was dispersed without difficulty by
the soldiers under Gen. Changarnier. The
report that barbados were formed seems
to have arisen from attempts the most in

THE SLAVERY AGITATION.
A Leafiet Of History.

The complacency with which the Union
contemplates the progress of the ''disgust-
ing COALITION" the ecstasy with which il an
nounced the first fruits of this dangerous
organization, (" in the result of the Connect
cut elections; and the rapture with which it
dwells upon the promised amalgamation
of the extreme factions of its party upon a
platform "worse than that Of the Wings, -
however they surprise the superficial OBJ
server, are susceptible Of a very intelli-
gible explanation. We must beg leave to
refer our readers to a chapter in the early
history of the slavery agitation, which,
though often alluded to in general way,
has not been of late brought before the
public in manner to show the connexion
of the controlling mind of the Union with
it. Judging from the anatbemas hurled
by the Union at the Free-Soilers, during
the last Presidential canvass, the natura
inference would be, that our contemporar,
ever held the Vaccinations of abolitionisn
as utter denominations; but, when the tor
tuous windings Of the "sole organ" are
exposed to the light Of history, it become,
manifest that its bland and amiable senti
ments towards combination of partie,
upon the platform of "black Douglass
and "Wm Bib, a fugitive slave" ar,
the echoes of the olde time-the reminis
cences of an early love.
Whilst the Missouri compromise was il
the throes Of adjustment, the Richmon,
Enquirer, then edited by the present lead
ing spirit ofthe Union, discoursed of SLAYER,

significant. The whole affair was, we be-
lieve, intended as protest against the
Roman business. "N hat veritable French
heart" asks the Republican corresponds
ent OF the Courier des Eats mis-, "has not
burnt with Indignation atthe thought OF the
odious part which the Falloux- Barrot Cab
met has made us play before Rome' What
heart has not bounded in rejecting that
the honor of the country, the destinies of
the Republic, have been RENTED into the
keeping of men who have the word repub-
lie upon their lips, but who, none the less,
subject France to regime for which the
worst days of the monarchy would hardly
furnish parallelW
We fear there is too much cause for Ian
guage like this. The accounts by the
Niagara do not relieve our apprehensions
as to the sham character of the republican
ism protested by the leading members of
the Government of France. The rigorous
law against clubs has been enforced, and
Odilon Barrot has introduced bill for streg-
ulating the press" which, we are told, is
nearly the same as the law of Louis Phi
lippe against refractory newspapers. Pitt
able enough all this. The ruling men in
France would seem to have no idea of the
first rudiments of real, earnest republican
ism. But apart from the visionaries, who
threaten to throw down the very pillars of
social organization, not content with re-
public and universal sufrage-apart from
the Jewellers and the Communists-there
is, we doubt not, large party of hon
est, sincere republicans, who fear, with
equal grief and alarm, the measures and
agitations of both extremes-the precipi-
fancy and recklessness of the Red Repub-
icans, and the bad faith of the government
and its advocates.

ALLEGIANCE.

The following ridiculous paragraphs are
from Canadian paper Of no small inhu-
ence and weight. They are taken from the
centre of a lengthy reply to very able
exposition of the situation of Canada, and
the probable advantages or disadvantages
which would accrue to the colony in case
of annexation to the United States. 1t
will be remembered that the article in the
Herald first called the attention of the
really thinking portion of the people of
the United States to the fact, that large
party in Canada had materially changed
in views in relation to this country, and
did not look on the population on this side
OF the Lakes as the anarchists they were
taken few years since to be.
The Sreetsville Review says:
Monarchy is not an institution of human ORR
gin--the King is Gods .Ministsr-aDd we conceive
that men are no more at liberty TO speculate in cold
blood about renouncing the authority Of that min
ister than they are TO discuss the question as to
whether the Bible is to be their rule Of life. Even
though Great Britain, anticipated by the Herald,
would consent to our political separation, the diff
Guilty would not IN consequence be essened one jot
or title. Neither Queen Parliament hare po,cer
70 absotus Us from our Jeaity God has invested the
Crown and the Crowns advisers with no such dis
pensing authority. The Church cannot canonize
false doctrine, heresy and schisn,' however willing
she might be to do so; and, in like manner, the
Queen is restricted from acquiescing in the re-
moval of one of the gems which compose her coro-
net of empire, though selfish, time serving exped-
ency-adopting councillors might urge her to such
step gi, 49, ~ .;
ly-,cise arguments Of the Herald in favor of this
dastardly and most infdel proposition. We would
as soon dream OF specializing upon the establish
ment of State-endoWed stetcs, prolific of
revenue. The reasons applicable to the one ques-
ton would be equally applicablet to the other. Such
things ought not TO be so much named among
Christians, much less speculated upon"
Certainly, in this busy, thinking, spec
ulative age, near the middle of the nine
teenth century, when ''the right divine to
rule" has been abandoned by every civil
lied monarch, except the Emperor of Rus
STA, we did not expect to hear Of the cru
dities of Sir Robert Filmer being trum-
peted forth, or that the exploded opinions
of the reigns of the last Tudors and first
Steuarts would be seriously advanced,
even in Canada. If the Streetsville Review
and the many Canadian papers which have
copied the reply to the Montreal Herald
know the people of Canada, and expect
such stuff to be believed, there can be no
doubt the population of that country is
not yet prepared to appreciate the bless
ings of self government. John Randolph
is represented to have said that time
would come when masters would run away
from their slaves, who would advertise
them in the newspapers; and the idea
seemed ridiculous enough. 1t must, how
ever, yield the pas to the notion that So
vereign who abdicates betrays a trust.

We have received letter from Paris, Name,
giving most cheering account of the prospects Of
the Wings in that State. Our correspondent says:
The Wings of Maine have not, as yet, made
any preparation for the coming contest in Septem-
Der, and probably will go into the fight with the
resolution to conquer, which is necessary to secure
success. The Locofocos are much divided, as the
bitteres feelings yet ranke in the breasts of the
friends of the defeated candidate for the office of
Governor-John Hodgdon, of Aroostook.
Some Importance attaches to the coming cleo
ton, inasmuch as the Legislature next to be chosen
will make choice of United States Senator to sue
coed Hon. H. Hamlin, whose term expires on the
4lh of March, 1851. Mr.. Hamns enemies are
numerous, comprising the Hodgdon wing of the
party But the defeat Of that clique at the late
convention is considered omnous of the success of
Hamlin, whose election may be regarded as GER
tain, unless the Wings bestir themselves immed-
ately. AS for any coalition between the Wings
and 'Free-Soilers,' alias Abolitionists, the Wings
look with no favor upon it, neither do they con-
template any thing of the kind. They are resolved
to conquer as Wings, or not at all .4mt Caesar a,a
nuiius' is their motto.
''Hon. Elijah L. Hamlin, of Bangor, brother
of Senator Hamlin, will probably be the Wing can
didate for the Office of Governor; and if honesty,
ability, and every requisite qualification for that of
fee would ensure his election, he would inevitably
be our next Governor.
