Walmer Castle is an old fortress in Kent, said I,
be originally built by William the Conqueror, neal
TO the spot where he landed in the year 1866, and
not far from the place where Julius Cesar met thu
Britons under CasIbelau, in the year IS B. G. Th'
Duke Of Wellington was keeper Of this old fortress
Of his many sinecures; and here he died on thu
14lh Of September last. The Duke Of Wellington
was an ilustrious man-not great man--not a goot
man, but simply illustrous man He was sol
der, of strong will, determined purpose, and obsti
nate Persstency; but he was not man of militar.
genius like Napoleon. He could lead and govern
armies by arbitrary force; but he hever could have
improysed armies the Corscau did, fIom ruined
empire, neither was he able TO inspire personal
love among his soldiers. He was a man of action
who controlled the forces under him by the compul
sion of position, and the energy Of his will Hs
never moved them by that absorbing sympathy
through which Bonaparte carried his cohorts
the Alps, and led them TO the horrors of Moscow
10 Great Britain he was hated with most intens
hatred by the people generally; and though respect
ed by his soldiers, he was never loved by them
Cold, naughty, obstinate, unfeeng, and calous, b.
heard the cry of the British people for political jus
tice, with the same feeling Of vindicye jealousy thai
he heard the demands Of his own countrymen fol
emancipation. He was the representative and cham
pion Of absolutism, both at the head of his armies
and at the head Of the British Cabinet He per-
emptorily refused mercy Ney, in 1915, and he re-
fused moderate political franchise TO the British
people in 1880, with equal obstinacy. He signed
the death warrant of the gallant Frenchman, in 1915,
in spite Of the peadings Of humanity, generosity and
mercy and because he could not assassnate his fell
low countrymen in 1880, he encased his London
idence with iron armor, and suIIeny retired to il
from the cabinet of his king.
The name Of the Duke of Wellington has been
prominently associated with all those stirring eventn
which grew out of the first French revolution, and
which took place in Europe in the beginning Of this
century; and on account Of this association, his life
and death are invested with much historical interest.
The Duke OF Wellington was born in ireland, in
1769 His father was Earl Of bloomington; bul yet
he could not boast Of very imposing family tree

gan Castle, County Meath, adopted young man cali

She is, besides this, very obgng, and sang to US
the whole evening, in many kinds Of music, showing
the varied range of hen repertoire We had the
grand Scena, Prayer, and Aria from the FFeysch'aS,
given with fine power and sentiment, and in many
songs of Lndbad and Mendelssohn, Mile. Lehman
showed that her feeling and rendering ofthe grace'

Her voice is mezzo soprano of great compass,
very true in intonation, and charming in quality.
Ofcourse, in small room, it is difficult to judge OF
the effect she might produce in the opera house and

fine arlistica qualities, leaving lasting impression
on all those who, like ourselves, may have had the
opportunity of hearing Mile. Lehman"
