The Duke Of Terceira Has Arrived From Po...
The Duke of Terceira has arrived from Portugal , to take part in the funeral of the Duke of Wellington . The subscriptions for the memorial to the Duke of Wellington , to be erected at Manchester , amount to nearly 7 , 000 ? . It was resolved at a public meeting held at Liverpool last week , to erect a column in honour of tho late Duke of Wellington , and p lace a statue of him on the capital . The meeting was attended by the- Earl of Sefton , Mr . Littledale , Mayor of Liverpool , Mr . Turner , M . P ., Mr . W . Brown , M . P ., and others . At a court of dircqtors hel $ in tho East India House on Wednesday , it was . resolved , — " That as a testimonial of the gratitude with \^ hich the East India Company must ever remember that the glorious career of the Duke of Welling ton commenced in India , and that the consolidation of the British power there was greatly promoted by his brilliant achievements , a marble statue of that illustrious commander be placed in tne general court room . "

Dr . Benedict Chapman , Mafeter of Cams College , Cambridge , died last week .:. ' Efr , wte ft * years old . The people of Rochester have ^ presented a splendid silver testimonial to their late meinbe j ^ Mr . Ralph Bernal . Dr . Dixon , of Maynpothj is . announced as the successor of Paul Cullen in the diocese of Armagh and the Primacy . Dr . Cullen was formally invested with the " pallium " on Sunday , as Archbishop of Dublin , by Dr . O'Connor , Bishop of Pittsburg in the United States , sent by the Pope for that purpose . Lord Fielding ' s church , at Pantasa , North Wales , originally built for Protestants , has been duly opened with imposing ceremonies , as a Catholic church , by Dr . Brown , Bishop of Shrewsbury .
The will of the late Mr . J . C . Neild , of Chelsea , has been proved by Colonel Phipps , the keeper of her Majesty ' s Privy purse , and the property sworn under 25 O , O 0 OZ . Mr , Roberts , the coloured President of the Republic of Liberia , who has been on a visit to this country , is about to return to his Government . He will embark in a few days in her Majesty ' s ateam-vessel Dee , and will proceed to Monrovia , on the Coast of Africa . —Globe . The Lord Mayor , with tne sheriffs of London and Middlesex ( Mr . Alderman Carter and Mr . Croll ) left London on Friday morning on % visit to his native town , Bury St . Edmunds , and was present at a banquet given on that day in the Guildhall of that ancient borough .
We learn by a letter from Mr . Macaulay to the chairman of his committee , dated London , Thursday , that ho will visit Edinburgh after all . The letter says , — " I am so much better that I think that I may , with some management , venture to make my appearance at Edinburgh , before Parliament meets . I think that Monday the 1 st , or Tuesday the 2 nd of November , would be tho best day . I would start for the north on Friday the 29 th , and divide the journey into two days , reaching Edinburgh on Saturday , stopping over the Monday and Tuesday , and leaving on Wednesday , so as to bo in the House of Commons on Thursday afternoon . My kind friends must not expect from mo more than one address , and that , I hope , I shall bo able to get through pretty well . I am bettor , certainly , than in August I expected ever again to bo . "
Tho Leeds Chamber Of Commerce Has Memori...
Tho Leeds Chamber of Commerce has memorialised the Government on the propriety of obtaining a reform in tho tariff of Portugal , which is now almost prohibitory . Tho p lan of a reciprocal reduction is suggested . An important meeting of deputations from tho boards of guardians of several Unions in the north , was held at Manchester on Monday for tho purpose of obtaining the repeal of an order latel y issued by tho Poor Law Board , restricting tho giving of out-door relief , except under certain " vexatious" and " cruel" conditions . A preliminary meeting was held in tho lionso of Mr . B . Oliveira , M . P ., on Monday , for tho purpose-of establishing a " free library" in Marylebone . Arrangements wora made , and a committee named to carry out the project .
Mr . Andrews , Mayor of Southampton , has established regular working bourn for his men . Some of the other coaehmakerH concur with Mr . Andrews , some dissent . The liberated men cheered the masters favourable to regular hours , and hooted those who are unfavourable . Tho mayor ' s men hold u meeting on Saturday , and voted their thanks to him . An important , step in the Early Closing Movement , lias been taken by the Great . Northern , London and . North Western , Midland , Lancashire , Yorkshire , and Leeds Northern , Railway Companies . They have resolved to cease- collecting or receiving goods for the goods' trains , at 7 o ' clock every evening , at Leeds , Bradford , Wnkefiold ,
Pewsbury , II udderHlield , and Halifax , ho as to " curtail within reasonable limits the bourn of attondaneo of the employed in the merchandise department on railways ;" at the name time it will ensure a punctual despatch of tlio trains . They trust to the energies of the employed to meet this concession by increased exertion in the daytime . The ' ICiwning J ' osf . mentions the following as the reported measures contemplated by Lord Derby for l ~ rotund " A commission to inquire into the utalo of Maynoolh ; a bill to modify the Hoard of Kducation , ho as to render it more palatable to the parsons ; a bill regulating tho relations of landlord and tenant in Ireland ; and tho extension of the income tax to this country . "
How the 'D erby Government follows out the "family compact" entered into with Louis Napoleon is visible in many ways . It is said that the "gentlemen who concoct the ' comic Hcenes' for these merry annuals have been greatly perplexed thin year , an the ' examiner of | > hiyH nt tho Lord Chamberlain ' a-oilico has cut out many of
thenbest jokes , and refused to license many capital scenes on account of political or personal allusion . Amongst other objects of ridicule , Napoleon the s Little and his deeds came in for more than an ordinary share . The censor , has , however , destroyed all disagreeablo allusions to the future Emperor of France . "
Next Year, We Are Informed, An " Ocean P...
Next year , we are informed , an " Ocean Penny Postage Bazaar" will be held ia London ; contributions are to be sent to Mr . E . Fry , League of Brotherhood , 36 , Broadstreet-buildings , London . The clergy of the archdeaconry of London met at Siori College on Thursday , and denounced the opening of the Chrystal Palace on Sunday as a " desecration . " It is probable , we believe , that early in November a public meeting will be held , in one of our principal halls , for the purpose of making a public protest against the alleged intention of opening the new Exhibition at Sydenham on the Sunday afternoons . —Record .
Lord Eghnton performed the ceremony of raising the first pillar of the new Exhibition building , at Dublin , on Monday . When the ceremony was over , a workman called for cheers for " the Lady Lieutenant , " which of course were given . A dinner afterwards took place . M . Bonaparte has promised Mr . Roney that he will send specimens of Sevres and Gobelines manufacture free of expense to Dublin . Mr . Grove , the secretary of the Crystal Palace Company , states that the difficulties thrown in the way of Mr . Wyatt and Mr . Owen Jones , in their efforts to obtain casts at iNaples , are in course of removal , through the intervention of Lord Palmerston and Lord Malmosbury ; that it is probable they will be allowed to take a cast of the statue of Marcus Aurelius , in the capital , through the influence of Cardinal Wiseman ; and that steps have been taken to permit them to take copies of the treasures in the galleries of Munich and Berlin .
As there was a proposition to run tho railway which Bhall connect the New Crystal Palace and the west-end , across Clapham-common , the saints of that locality , and the owners of house property , held a meeting on Tuesday to oppose the scheme . They professed to be shocked at three things—the depreciation of their property which would ensue , the horrible nuisance of having working men digging and delving in those classic regions , and—the desecration of the sabbath by the projected opening of the Palace on the 6 abbath . And they carried their point . Mr . Sidney , a resident , whom the gentlemen affected not to know , as ho is only a literary man , said that the railway would not cross the common ; and Mr . Fuller , a director of the railway , pledged his word on behalf of the directors , to the same effect .
There was a singular meeting at Islington on Monday . The vicar presided ; the audience were estimated at about a thousand , of whom one half were ladies ; and the clerical speakers were in tho same proportion to tho lay . The object of their hostility was the projected opening of the Crystal Palace on Sunday . One resolution stated , " that the proposed opening of the Crystal Palace , at S ydenham , in the afternoon and evening of the Lord ' s-day , for purposes of pleasurable recreation to its visitors , and of profitable g ains to its promoters , would bo utterly at variance with the spirit and letter of the divine commandment , also with the statute law of this Christian country , and likewise with the best interests of society . " An amendment , in a contrary sense , was offered , but the chairman would not put it , on tho ground that the meeting was for those who " disapprove" of the opening of the Palace ; so the ori ginal motion was carried .
"James Lord , Chairman" of tho Protestant Association , lias addressed tho following categorical inquiries to Lord Derby : — " 1 . Whether Sir Henry Bulwer has been accredited as Ambassador or Minister to the Court of Homo , or to act there in any diplomatic relation on behalf of the British Government ? 2 . If any communication , official or otherwise , has born made b y him or others to her Majesty ' s Government of nny such interview as is nbovo referred to ? " Lord Dorhy , through " W . P . Talbot , " has replied ns follows : — "I have , in reply to your first question , to acquaint y ou that Sir Jlenry Bulwer lias not been in nny way accredited to the Court of Rome ; and with respect to your second question , that it does not consist with Lord Derby ' s duty to answer any inquiries as to private and unofficial communications which may have ; passed in conversation between Sir Jlenry and Cardinal Antonclli , or any other person at Rome .
