There was no warning, no sign, no word. The Duke, as was his custom at this season of the year, had left the metropolis on a visit to Walmer Castle. lie was enjoying perfect health on Monday last, and ate a hearty dinner that day; he was lively, sociable, and in fine spirits. IIo retired to rest on Monday night, apparently quite well. On Tuesday morning, at half-past six, Mr. Kendall, the I Juke's -'alct, went to awake his master, but his Grace refused to get up; one hour afterwards the valet again went to the Duke, who appeared unwell and ordered the doctor to be sent for. Mr. llulke, surgeon at Deal, repaired immediately to the Castle. He found the Duke suffering from indigestion, and complaining of pains in the chest and stomach. He was in the full possession of his faculties, and described his situation clearly.? This was his last conversation on earth. Mr. llulke merely prescribed some dry toast and ten. KnbsenimiitK- \fr TTnlL-.? and Dr. McArthur consulted together, and emetics were administered, but they produced no effect. Every effort was used to afford relict, but in vain. The 1 Hike lost the power of speech and consciousness.? Ho was removed from his bed into an arm chair, and tho attendants of his dying moments were assembled in a group around him. On one side were Lord Charles Wellesley and Dr. McArthur, on the other Mr. llulke and Kendall, tho valet.? About noon a fresh attack came on, and from that time scarcely any sign of animation could be detected. Mr. llulke fell tho action of the pulse till about fifteei minutes past threo o'clock, when he fount that it had ceased to beat, and declared that all was over. Thus, on Tuesday, September 14, 1852, the Duke of Wellington expired calmly and without a struggle or a sigh to mark the exact moment when the vital spark was extinguished. The Great Methodist Ciiurcii Case. ?The New York papers published the port of John W. Nelson, esq., tho commissioner to whom was refered the Methodist Episcopal Church case, for adjustment of accounts between the Church North and South, by which it appears that the property, previous to the division of the institution into two sections, was upwards of $562,000. Tho profits from that period, 1845, to January, 1852, havel>een over $255,000; varying annually from 17,000 to $68,000. The aggregate value of the Book Concern, at the commence mcnt of this year, was $008,431, the increase since 1845 being about $40,000 It appears, also, that the profits paid tc. the Northern beneficiaries, sinco the dip vision of the Church, have been $ 113,000, Tho Southerners did not receive any during that period, tho Northerners contending that in consequence of their vol untary secession, tliey were not entitled to participate in profits. The Southerners liavo taken exceptions to the report, and the matter is again before tlrt Circuit Court, and will not be disposed of for several days. The Southerners contend that, they should receive their share in the money, and that they, arc entitled to $70,000 more than is allowed them, while tho Northerners contend that tho sum due tho Southern church is $56,480 36, deducting $10,184 10, interest, on tho value of the three Southern news papers, all tho profits ol which tho South have retained, leaving due the South for dividends and intrcst, to October 1, 1852, $46, 302 26. Tlu number of travelling preachers entitled u benefit of the fund is, 3,303 belonging tc the church North, and 1,82ft belonging U the church South. In relation to the payments to the widow of Bishop Iledding, it is stated that tlx Bishop bequeathed $10,000 to the Book Concern, subject to an annuity of $700 a year to his widow, which has been paid, and should l>ededucted from the share ol profits due the South. ?

We copy from the New York Journal of Commerce the following letter from its Washington correspondent, a9 giving a fair | view of the present conditiou of the City j of Washington, and of the prospect ofits future: Washington, Sept. 17 1852. Washington continues remarkably healthy, there being fewer cases of inter! mittent fever lu re than has been usual at , ; this season. It is undoubtedly now the healthiest city in the country, as the bills j of mortality sufficiently show. Some tliir- j i I ty years ago, or more, when there were around the eitv uneleard and marshy f | grounds, and when Pennsylvania avenue I was itself a marsh, there used to occur, i even in the then stnall population, many ) cases in the autumn of congestive fever; ; but now, though the population exceeds j forty thousand, such fevers are of rare ocI currencc. There arc certain localities near , the river, where, as was mentioned recent * | ly in a letter in your paper, cases of ague ' and fever occur; but, in general, the city is free even from that pest. Some proposed 1 improvements in the navigation of the ' Potomac between Georiretown and Wash| ington, and the opening of a canal through ; James's creek, near the Arsenal, will free those parts of the city from ague and fever. Though Congress is not in session, yet . the city is no longer as dull and lifeless as | it used to be during the recess. The public and private improvements, which are goingou so rapidly, give the city a cheerful aspect. There arc more private houses now building than tl ere have ever been at any one time before. The north part of tiie city, which is elevated, beautiful, and salubrious, is rapidly tilling up with good ones nouses, i no < ?overunient appropriation foi new works hero, for the present year, is over a million of dollars. The number of Govcmment ofiiees and ofliec-holders is rapidly increasing, and is constantly tending to an increase. This must continue to l>o so, as long as the country continues to increase in population, territory, commerce and intercourse with foreign powers. "Washington, too, presents attractions for men of wealth and leisure, and it is found that every year the number of those who, with their families, spend a part of the year here, increases. Here will be, after a while, many national 1 interest. The Capitol will itself be an object of L general interest when it shall be completi ed. Tlio liberal appropriations made for 1 the arrangement of the Congress library 1 is an assurance that, ultimately, it will he a library worthy of the country. Over , eighty thousand dollars were granted for , the purchase of bodies during the last ses: sion. ; The Smithsonian Institute will, after a few years, be able to extend the sphere of its operations and its usefulness. Very large additions to its funds are to be made 1 by the beneficence of wealthy men now living, who have made their wills, bequeathing large sums to the Institute. The National (Ibservatorv is already an object of national pride. 1 The Washington Monument, now one ' hundred and seventeen feet in height, is in progress, and with every prospect of being ultimately completed according to design. The Jackson Monument will be erected in Lafayette square next winter. Every change of Administration is a ' benefit to the Federal city. It brings to the city a fresh accession, from every part of the country, of men of public spirit ' and intelligence; and each Administration loaves us substantial public and private improvements; and each one contributes to the permanent composition of the com" munity, and leaves its impress upon its tone and character. All political capitals have attracted to themselves population and wealth, whether the result of commerce or not, and such will be the ease with "Washington, as the seat of an empire destined to Ik? greater than any that the world oversaw. Colonel A. H. Gladden.

Carolinian. f ' ML m *1* >' W r m ' # 1 L * 9 * L ^ * Suggestions to our Grand Juries. The sitting of the approaching Courts will atford a fine opportunity for the Grand Juries of the different Districts to urge upon the Legislature the passage of such acts as the moral wants of their communities may require. Should anything like a respectable number of them unite upon a presentment, it would more effectually secure the attention of the members of this I body than the same suggestions from any other source, except, perhaps, the direct j instMiction of their constituents. Are there, then, no measures of public I utility, of such importance as to require j the aid of those conservators of the inorI ality and good order of the State? We think there are, and will proceed to point them out, under the hope that they Ill.'lV I ??> flm nvAnnw V O"- V..W?U al, in such a manner as to secure a prompt ami respectful consideration. First, then, the necessity of a more effectual system of punishment for our criminals has long been felt. It cannot bo denied that it bears no proportion to tho | crimes for which it is now inflicted: Al| though many improvements have already been made in our penal code, some of its enactments are still so extremely barbari ous, that the feelings of the community revolt at a conviction, and others so lenient that the punishment often bears no proportion to the enormity of the crime. A poor, starving wretch, for instance, may steal a few hams of bacon, or some other property of but little value, and he ispubI licly tied up to the w hipping past to receive the most disgraceful punishment that can possibly be inflicted upon a freeman, and, lost to all shame or self-respect, instead of being reformed, is turned loose upon the community in a state of mind well fitted for the most desperate crimes. On the other hand, should a public brawler, iu a lit of madness, deprive a fellowbeing of that life which it is the privilege of God alonoHo take away, he is probata,. 1 ? r .1-- s_ .1 deprive ins assailant or perhaps innocent by-slanders of their lives. Human life is too precious to be heedlessly taken, and the most stringent laws should bo enacted against a habit by which it is momentarily endangered. There are other suggestions which we might have made, but we have already transgressed our limits, and perhaps have l?een engaged in a fruitless effort; we have the consolation, hdWever,of knowing that we havo discharged a public trust, and will leave tho duty of fating upon those more immediately responsible.

The only plan for the graduation of punishment to the various crimes is the Penitentiary. It moreetlectually combines the objects of all punishment, the prevention of crime and the reformation of the criminal, than any other system that has ever been adopted; and what is no small item, it relieves the State from the expense ol supporting her criminals. Wherever this system has been ndopted it has met with universal favor, 'lite laluii, solitary confinement, instruction, both literary and religious, (for they are generally provided with libraries as well as chaplains,) liavt had a wonderful effect fn not only reforming the criminal, but in preventing crime, for in the States where Penitentiaries arc established, no criminal escapes his just deserts. The certainty of punishmant lading found by experience to be of more importance than its severity, they are in.11.. i ?' ?i - - mj y.iiiiin-u, imu wiiui issiiii oeuer, punished, and better still, often reformed. No fact is better established than that the penitentiary system of punishment is the best that has ever been devised, and | why our State so studiously refuses to l?estow attention to the matter we are at ? loss to determine. We hope, however, that the press and the people will take the matter in band and agitate it until th< Legislature is forced to yield, or at least until it ascertains from reliable data that the number of criminals in the State will not justify its adoption. Another crying evil, which it would bt well for our Grand Jurors to present foi the consideration of the Legislature, is the carrying of deadly weapons concealed about the person. In consequence of the great perfection to which the mechanical arts have attain ed, these murderous instruments are now afforded at so trifling a cost that every School boy, out >f the pocket chang? which he is allowed by his parent or guardian, can arm himself in the most deadly manner: and as the bare possession of a weapon of this description almost invariably imparts a desire in the person wbt habitually carries one to use it, he is prepared. upon the slightest provocation, tc ? ; Great JaOKAO\ J HA l4 LAIN.?The (Jri'onvillcA < jeer hM the folowing: "A frieuA,!'] us the following incident i which he Hwj h to Rev.

We learn from s reliable source the following : Some time s go the ordinary,(Gritffith.) of ' Chesterfield District in this State, wrote to ' an engraver in Philadelphia, which letter ' was signed by a mnn named Smith, of the i same District, enclosing a 03 note of the Wadesboro' N.

The engraver having received no authority ' | from the Bunk, wrote to 4he President, ' who, on receipt of the letter, sent as many 1 unsigned notes to the engraver, ss Griffith 4t Smith had ordered. These notes the engraver then despatched to Griffith, who sc, knowledged the receipt offfbetn, which letter , of acknowledgement the engraver sent forth, with to the President of the Bank. The Ceshier was then despatched to Chesterfield C. H., to arrest the offenders, when they get' ting wind of it decamped. A man by the name of Evans baa also absconded, he, also, i having been concerned in some way in the transaction.

It is eight months to-day that we launched our little burk, and although our harbor was small to beat about in, our cap tain young, our pilot deaf, and our sailors and cnbin boy inexpcriencud but willing, we cast aloose and steered onward, determined to spare no effort to beat against the breeze, clear every rock and obstacle, and compete with other craft on the ocean of newspaper life. And this, friends and patrons we have done. We now print twenty-five quires, (600 copies) of paper weekly, and the cry is still they come. Scarcely a day passes but we enter the name of a subscriber on our book. This is not all ; common modesty forbids us to speak of the compliments we have received. Wo are glad our friends arc satisfied, and we assure them our efforts are progressive, t >n the return of our deaf pi- I lot, we expect to hoist up a new sail or two, | and placo a streamer on our topmast.

Nor did we know that we had to choose between the alternative of endorsing such a , convention, or of being credited with a deficiency of that very natural sympathy ( which binds together the sons of one profeaaion. A convention, even of editors, ' might be, like any other convention, a ve- 1 ry *ilV affair.

Incidents of Travel, No. IV. Wk have been requested to continue the " Incidents of our Travel," and therefore proceed to give an outline of what befel us at Barnegatt. after our shipwreck. By way of preface or introduction to this number, we will observe, that it may appear egotistical in us to talk so much about onrself. This is our reason for not publishing a "number" every week, but our excuse is, we only talk about ourself when there is nothing else to be talked of,? so soon as we find by the least intimation, that our " Incidents " are not welcome to our readers?that moment our pen drops? we cease to chronicle them. Barnagatt Island is about 75 miles from New York?it is ? barren waste. Home few families reside the e, deriving a support from the proceeds of the sale of dry wood, which is gathered on the main, and taken in little loops to New York, where it meets rapidly with a purchaser, as docs everything else that goes to that mart. Barnngatt is more of a promontory, and in conscquenco of the danger to mariners coasting along, a lighthouse is erected, which at night is always lighted. Horrid tales are told to this day about the early settlers of Barnagatt. It is said that they were in the habit of placing false lights on the beach, of dart stormy nights, in order that ships might be decovcd and wrecked. and give them an opportunity of realizing something from the picking* the next day. It was years ago, of a cold night, when the winds blew, the waves beat, and the lightning flashed, and thunder pealed, that en emigrant ship approached the coast of the new world, having lett liverpool some sixty days. Besides the large number of emigrants on board, there were sever il cuhin passengers of opulence, who were on a visit to the U. States. It was on that night that a band of fearless desperadoes, bent on plunder, whatever means be used to obtuin it, placed a torch so as to deceive the captain, and make it appear us the Burnngntt light. The ship < nine dashing onward, and struck. Where was buoyancy was now fear which every moment grew stronger, as death stares them in the face. The_following day was bright nnd lovely ?the suit shone brightly?the birds warbled , their gladsome notes, while fluttering among the branches of the shrubbery so peculiar to the sandy coa|it?but where was our ship and her passengers ? l?ook along the bench, and the lifclessr forms, and scattered portions of the wreck will answer the interrogatory. While on Barnagntt, we rumbled amongst the Hhrubery on the coast, and at every step, when some protion of a wreck would meet our gaze, we could not but feel angry, yet sorry to see such depriviiy and heartless treachery in the human heart. But we have not yet told what befel us at Burnag.itt. After being safely landed on the shore, the next questions were, what shall we do ? It would not do to stay there, so we all con* eluded to go over the bay to the main Isnd. We tuannged to procure some ox carts to carry our baggage, and then"re-einbarkod in several small boats. We landed on the Jersey coast about sundown, and took quarters at a country inn?und such an inn?we have never see n one like it since, or eve have before. As it had been drizzling, some of the ladies hud their handkerchiefs wet, and would place them on the backs of the chairs to dry. In less time than five min* | utea, they would be gone. Any small arti* cle which could be carried without detection, it wna dangerous to leave about, for it would certainly be stolen. Poor old Mr. E of Charleston?he was a good ole man. He was a fellow passenger and besides being Infirm from age* he was a cripple, therefore, common humanity induced us to extend to him a helping hand. We had Attended to his baggage and all his little matters, and the old man waa rery grateful. Our first move at the Inn waa to procure a bed for Mr. E? , In which we succeeded. He had gone to bed, and we had his trunk placed under hie bed for aafe keeping. The last article we placed there waa a large market basket, containing biscuits and other articles, also, several bottles of porter, fee.
