It was my good fortune to have seen hiin in the days of my boyhood, and his whole appearace is yet strongly impressed on my memory. The portrait you have issued ap 1 ears to me to be an exact likeness, representing perfectly the expression as well as the form and features of the face."

Her Majesty was to leave Edinburg on the 13th for Chester and Bangor, Birmingham, &c. She would on the 14th visit the Menai and Bri tania Bridges. The remains of the Duke of Wellington, by command of the Queen, were to be publicly in terred in the Cathedral Church of St. Paul's, with all the solemnities usual on such occasions. The corporation of London will take part in the funeral. Intelligence has been received in London of the death of the Right Rev. Patrick Torry, DD., Bishop of St. Andrew's Dunkcld, and Dunblane. The Right Rev. prelate died on Sunday last, at the episcopal residence, at Peterhead, in the 90th year of his age. He was the oldest Bish op of the Episcopal church in Scotland, having been consecrated in 1808. A shocking double murder was committed at Kittybrewster, about a mile north of Aberdeen, on Monday night. The victims were a widow, named Ross, and her grandchild, a little boy about five years of age. The murderer is a man named George Christies, formerly a private sol dier in the service of the East India Company. There is nothing of interest from Ireland. FRAXCE. The President continues to be received every- where with cries of "Vive l'Empereur," and the rays, in an article on the President's tour, comes to the conclusion that the proclamation of the Empire is not far off. The President was at Tolouse on the 4th, and was received by 200,000 persons assemblod there. The Revue Brilannique states that an applica tion has been made by the French Government on the English Cabinet for the orignal will of the Jituperor ivapoieon, wnicii lias nunerco re mained in the possession of England. Another discovery of the clandestine manu facture of gunpowder has been made at Nismes, but it was carried on only with the view to sale for sporting purposes. The Bordeaux affair is perhaps not of more importance. Among the decorations in honor of the Presi dent, at Aix, was a bust of Louis Napoleon dec orated with cigar and tobacco leaves, in grati tude for the decree authorizing the cultivation of that plant. The Prince, on passing it, was struck with the originality of the idea, and the mode to thank him for what he had done. The funeral services for Queen Hortense took place yesterday, at the church of Rueil. After the mass the whole of the congregation sprink led holy water on the tomb of the Queen, which is placed opposite that of the Empress, her mother. The Moniteur publishes four decrees dated "Toulon, Sept. 28," containing 61 promotions and nominations in the Legion of Honor, and conferring 114 military medals. All promotions and nominations relate almost solely to naval men, belonging to the vessels collected at Tou lon on the occasion of the President's visit. There is a story afloat that the young man se lected by a secret society to assassinate the French President has committed suicide. A jealousy exists between Louis Napoleon and the Bonaparte family. Louis M. Brouchere has undertaken to form a Belgian Ministry. The Zollverein delegates have left Berlin. The negotiations with Prussia are broken off. The cholera has entirely subsided. There are great augumentations being made to the Austrian army. The thieves set fire to the Jewish Synagogue at Colnue, Galacia, during the festival, for the purpose of robbing. In the confusion conse quent, 36 ladies, several of whom were of high rank, were crushed to death. The Sultan of Turkey is dangerously sick. An attempt was made to assassinate the Shah of Persia, who was wounded by three shots, but is recovering. " Two of the assassins were cut to pieces by the guards, and two were captured alive. We have news from the Cape of Good Hope to the 20th August The skirmishing contin ued. . . IiRte and Interesting fram Utali. Stcpheb B. Ross arrived at Independence on the 17th inst., from Utah. He reports that at Salt Lake City great activity pervaded every de partment of trade. Emigrants were arriving freely generally in good health and gave a great impetus to business. ' The crops were ve ry abundant, and promised a large surplus. Governor Young's administration of the territo ry was giving great satisfaction to the people, and in local politics there was a dead calm. Vast numbers of Indians were still collected about Fort Laramie, awaiting the arrival of Ma jor Fitzpatrick, whose unaccountable delay gave great dissatisfaction to them. The goods for distribution among them reached the fort seve ral weeks ago. The Nez-Perces Flat head tribe were assembled at Fort Bridges. They vrere also expecting presents from the United States government. The Snake Indians made a treaty with the Yampones, and afterwards, while on a buffalo tnint, fell in with a band of Cheyennes, and haa-aekifmish, during which some of the latter.;verekilled. , " The fenakes and other tribes had sent an am bassador to the Chiefs of the Utahs, expressing a desire to make a treaty of peace. Mr. Rose and his party experienced no molestation from the Indians during their trip. Phelps's train with the Secretary cf the Treasury of Utah ter ritory, was getting aiv&g well. The Mormon's are building up a dense city at Salt Lake, and extending their settlements in all directions in the valley. The Tabernacle is finished. Mr. Ross learned at Fort Kearney, that a war party of Pawnees was out against the Sioux. The .Late Duke or Wellington. The Duke of "Wellington is by this time buried. The soul of the late body is Grod knows where. The vollies fired above his jrrave. and the flatteries so crosslv uttered, not alone to the dead Duke, but to the living Empire, that worshipped him as its own image and likeness, begin now to clear away.. We nave stooa uy pauemiy at, it all, but even beside L.ake .brie, in tue name of History and Heroism, in the name of India, Ireland, and the century we live in, we must raise our protest against this in famous conspiracy to cheat posterity. The Duke of Wellington a Hero ! a lib erator! a sage! a christian! "a perfect man !" Do they who assert these things, imagine that they can keep history under a Hobbs lock, which no expert can pick ? Do they suppose our own days so deluded with words, that all memory of essential facts, has passed away ? It seems so, but here, as elsewhere, seeminy is not leiny. The Duke of Wellington's character had two parts, and only two. He was for thir tv vears a soldier, for thirty more a states man. In 1798 he won his first battle; in 1818 liis lnsr,. From the ppaop till thft last session of the Westminster Parliament, he was constantly engaged in what he meant to be, the government of the Empire of which he was the first subject. That two exhibitions of power, such as his in peace and war, constitute the highest greatness, we deny. Even material great ness requires a pre-eminence over others, in meeting the special requirements of the cotemporary age. Moral greatness the only true requires service of a more fun damental and ethical character. To the last, we presume, the eulogists of the Duke do not advance any claims on his account. He was neither Apostle, Doctor, nor Or ganizer ; neither was he Discoverer, Inven tor, or Founder of anything which exists in the material order if we except Apsley house, and a Ducal posterity. To origin ality, the greatness which Columbus, Mi chael Angelo, and Napoleon had, the late Duke can advance no claim. His place, then, is in the second rank of mnfpriallv jrreat men. There his own ac tions for sixty years of public life, have bound him, and all the special pleaders in Britain cannot undo the chain of facts by which he is held there. Let us remember that he was by birth an Irishman ! His youth, his first tnends, st. him. were Irishmen ; his very outfit for India, was advanced by a Dublin tradesman. In Ireland the tombs of his ancestors invited him. Yet in near- iv f.-n-tir vAnrs nf neane. livinjr within a day s journey of it, he never once visited the land ot his birth I He was left fatherless, and his education was solely conducted by his mother. That mother lived to see him one of the richest and most famous men in Europe. Yet he - rv 1 1 suffered her to die in debt sunerea ner personal effects, her very wardrobe, to be seized and sold to pay off the debts of the mother of Wellington. He was a husband, and one who claimed great self-control. Yet his intrigues, un til a comparatively recent day, were noto rious. His silly letters to Madame lleca niier, are but a small part of the indict ment against him, as a husband and father. As a captain he was great, rather by prudence and labor, than by genius or in vention. His intense tenacity of purpose was certainly heroic. In that quality, he may compare with the most famous sol diers of antiquity. The Peninsular war is the true theatre of his glory, because it was there he displayed his best quality to most advantage. But to talk of him as the conqueror of Napoleon, is simply absurd. Europeaud the Pope conquered Napoleon. The Keys nf Russia, the walls of Leipsic, the exile of Elba, had prepared the French army to be beaten. But even then it was not England, but all Europe that dUThe conqueror of Napoleon should not only have beaten him in arms, but also in magnanimity. Did Wellington this ? Did he attempt to save the wounded feelings of a gallant people. No! he triumphed over France with the insensibility of a Cos sack. He danced and dined in Paris, like a Calmuck. He might have called in clemency to minister to victory that an gel whose presence will purify even camps but he did the very reverse. Ney, La boydere, and the other victims of his victo ry, were sacrificed to the peculiar British God, Expediency. For saving Lavalette, he plucked the epaulettes from the shoul ders of young Hutchinson, at the head of his regiment. Conqueror of Napoleon indeed ! The shadow of the Emperor has more real pow er to-day, than all the works and house of Wellinton ! As a statesman we cannot assign him a high place. His forte was in resisting charges in their first stages, and in know ing when he was beat. With such a ruler successful demagogueism was sure to con quer. Hence the merit of the very meas ures he conceded was given to others of Emancipation to O'Connell, of Keforni to Brougham, of Free Trade to Cobden. He was a disciple of Peel's school in politics a school, which is explained, by the single word Ezjjedhmcy. No honest student of history can, for a moment, mention him be side Kichalieu or Ximenes, or cither of the Pitts, as a minister of state. European Murders. A Parisian correspondent, writing under date of Sept. 6, says : The Vienna papers give an account of a horrible affair thus : A peasant sold at a fair a pair of oxen ; and on his return, having been drinking rather too much, he placed the money he had re ceived, in a girdle which he fastened round his daughter, who accompanied him. On passing through a wood, a man stopped then and demanded the money. The peas ant denied having any. The man know ing fiat he had sold the oxen, seized him by the h-"r and dragged him a little way iuto the wood. There two other men join ed the first, and the three murdered the peasant. The daughter distinctly saw the crime perpetrated. She took flight, reach ed a cottage, told the inmate, a woman, of what had occurred, and said she had the mony on her. This money the woman took and fastened in a drawer, and, in com pliance with the prayer of the girl, secreted her in an adjoining bed-chamber. The three men then came, told of their crime, and one, it seems, was the woman's husband. Thereupon she, with a loud laugh, said the daughter was in the next room, aud she produced the belt, to their great joy. The men recollecting that the girl could betray them, resolved at once to destroy her, and the plan they agreed on was to burn her to death in the oven, and soon the girl heard the flames crackling. Desperately she sought the means of es cape, and finding the wall was of clay, she was able to make a hole large enough to creep through. Escaping, and meeting gens d'armes, the whole party of wretches were captured. A Belgian trial for murder is not less singular ; A brutal character, whose wife had been forced to leave him owing to hi bad conduct, strangled her slowly in a wood, and then cooly went to the Mayor and re ported that his wife's body had been dis covered. But it so happened that a lad on the look out for bird nests, was aloft and saw the transaction, though afraid to make a noise. This witness was decisive, and the murderer was condemned to death. Crimes of murder youug men killing their mistresses for jealousy are not of rare occurrence in France ; and the philoso phy of murder here shows less regard for woman than with us, always saving the wholesale murder of travellers. Whence, then, was his greatness? It conststed in his self-control, his tenacity, and his love of labor. He was something of the mastiff and bull-dog breed mixed. He was a fine sample of the material sublime." Fortune was not his mistress, but rather his waiting woman ; as such he commanded and she obeyed. Though their relation was neither romantic nor cordial, it lasted for the Duke's lifetime. She kept him abundantly supplied, from Assaye to Waterloo, and these supplies, delivered with, counting house precision, were one cause of his Peninsular success. Still un doubtedly he had that within him, which commanded success, and without which ev ery material aid would have failed him Half a century from the day of his burial, the verdict of history will, we doubt not, be, that he stands among the first, in the second class, of materially great men in .ithpr words " men ot the world." "As a Christian, the less said of him the better. No one ever heard a religious sen timent from his lips. He wentito Church as he went to the House Guards as a matter of course. He regarded the Church, like the Arm v. as a branch of the national defences, nothing more. Though hanging two days between life and death, no cler- irrmin Room r bavfl been called in. His j last words were about his stomach. His I soul departed between two Apothecaries. As an Irishman, we cannot trust our selves to speak of hiui. He is gone to his reward, and he will assuredly get it. American Celt. Mankind Originally Savages. The opinion that mankind were original ly savages is unsupported by either reason or history. Had they been created sava ges, they would probably have remained savages forever. They could have foriied no idea of civilization which had never ex isted, nor have desired comforts the wint of which they did not feel. History does not record a single instance of a savage na tion having become civilized by its own un assisted exertions Civilization has never sprung up spontaneously from the soil : it has always been imported from abroad. The Greeks derived their civilization from the Egyptians the Bonians theirs from the Greeks; tho nations conquered by Home became civilized from their inter course with the llomnns. But, if we at tempt to trace the origin of civilisation in Egypt and Babylon, we are at a loss ; for neither history, nor even tradition, men tions any period at which they were not civilized. The researches of Layard and llawlinson, in the ruins of Niuevah, may throw some faint beams oh this hitherto unapproachable myrtery. Fears of a. Revolution la Australia.. The intelligence, the wealth, and respectabil ity which is now emigrating to Australia, will never endure contact with that foul stream of emigration which government is sending by a different channel to meet and mingle with it there. It is not merely that the express from Van Iriernen's Land cross over the narrow strait that separates them from Australia. Govern ment admits that C84 prisoners under sentence has escaped to the gold fields ; an admission, considering the quarter from which it comes, may well be most liberally construed. AVe can look to nothing else Irom' the infatuated perseve rance in the present system than earlier, a more disgraceful, and a more disastrous trpara tion between this country and her Australian than between her and her American colonies. Its not t6 be forgotten that while America was valuable only through her trade, Australia has a peculiar value of her own. If we people that vast conti nent with a people of our own race, and then make that nation our enemy, in losing one em pire we endanger the possession of another. With a powerful Anglo Saxon country 60 close to her coasts, who shall insure to us the perma nent dominion of India ? We may hope to hold it against Europe and America, because their distance from it is as remote as our own ; but against another America in the Southern seas, animated as we seem determined it shall be, by a yet bitter spirit of animosity, our hold upon India will be feeble indeed. We are planting a great nation ; its geographical position will render it a great ally, or a most dangerous ene my, and our statesmen seem determined that it shall be the latter. London Time. Oct. 1. Tlie Republic of Liberia. The Republic of Liberia is progressing 6lowly but surely. The enterprise is a great one ; but for some cause or other we are unable to explain it has not met with its due share of public at tention. A prejudice exists in tue mtnis or our colored population in relation to the colony, aud hence the difficulty. Within a year or two, however, this has materially softened, and hence the prospects of Liberia are beginning to bright en. Sixty emigrants recently sailod from New York under the management of the 8tate Colo nization Society, and as w learn, five hundred are about to depart from Norfolk arid two hun dred from New Orleans. It should beremembcr- ered that the existence of the Republic ef Libe ria as a nation, has been formally acknowledge! bv some of the great European powers. The native chiefs in the neighborhood have abandon ed all hostility, the arts of peaco are prospering and an active trade is springing up. . May we not hope that the corner stone of a great em pire of the colored race has been laid in Liberia, A Scene at Marseille. A Paris correspondent of the New York Cou rier says "Among the incidents of the Prince's visit to Marseilles was particularly remarked the presence upon the Place St. Ferreol, on tho line of the princely procession of one hundred and twenty American seamen in uniform.
