THE DUKE.—Ort the return of the expedition from Hanover, Major-t enerai Sir Arthur Wellesley was appointed to the command of a brigade of infantry stationed at Hastings, in the Sussex district, to the discipline, manoeuvre, and minute details of which he paid the most scrupulous attention. An intimate friend having remarked in familiar terms to him, when at Hastings, how he, having commanded armies of 40,000 men in the field, having received the thanks of Parliament for his victories—and having been made Knight of the Bath, should submit to be reduced to the command of a brigade of infantry ? " For this plain reason," was his answer, " I am niminukwallah, as we say in the East ; that is, I have ate of the King's salt, and, therefore, I conceive it my duty to serve with unhesitating zeal and cheerfulness, when and wherever the King or his Government may think proper to employ me." This maxim has the more force, from there being officers in the army who, unfortunately for them, having declined subordinate employ, from flattering themselves with superior pretensions, have repented their decision during their professional lives ; and it is for this reason that the compiler has presumed to draw the attention of those who may hereafter be placed in similar circumstances to the great military principle, as well as to the example of the Duke of Wellington.—Gurwood's Despatches of the Duke of Wellington. A paragraph has recently been published in the Papers, stating that a'police-officer had gone to America to apprehend William Hubbard, who was charged with the murder of Eliza Grimwood, in consequence of fresh evidence having been obtained against him. It appears, however, that there is no truth in the statement, and a letter from Hubbard himself appears in a Morning Paper of yesterday, in which he asserts that he has not quitted England since the murder.  An inquest was held last night at Horsleydown, on the body of Charles Freeman, a native of Gloucester, who was found in the streets, on Saturday evening, in an exhausted condition and conveyed to the workhouse, where he died in the course of the night. The body presented a very emaciated and haggard appearance, but in the state in which the man was at the time of his adinission to the workhouse nothing definite could be learned respecting his circumstances. No money was found on his person. He stated that he was a smith by trade, and had come to 1.04don in search of work. Verdict—" Natural death." An inquest was held yesterday in Hoxton, on the body of a youth named Ryall, who died on Friday last, in consequence, as was alleged, of a wound inflicted by fellow-apprentice, named Marsh. The only witness who was present at the time of the occurrence was a boy about twelve years of age, who stated most positively that Marsh did not stab deceased, but merely held his hand out to show him that he had a penknife in it. On the other hand it was stated that, when prisoner was confronted with the wounded lad, he admitted having stabbed him, and pleaded in justification that he had been annoying him. A surgeon deposed that death had resulted from inflammation of the wound, and stated that the penknife belonging to prisoner, and now produced, was an instrument which would have inflicted such a wound.
