The first step towards arriving at a safe and satisfactory conclusion on any difficult or disputed point is undoubtedly to collect all the evidence that can b 3 obtained on the subject. Nothing can be done without full and careful preliminary investiga tion, and the great effort of all modern science is accordingly to search for truth, to discover all that can possibly be known, and thence to draw its con clusions. Of old the wise men of the day were wont to adopt some favourite theory, and, in Pro crustean fashion, fit into it all they learned. They refused to accept facts which contradicted their pre conceived notions, and sacrificed real knowledge at the shrine of prejudice. The wildest and most ex traordinary experiments were resorted to to sustain their fallacies, and every one who ventured to doubt or to dispute them was immediately silenced or scouted. We have now arrived at a more enlightened and more hopeful condition. If we do not actually know so much as we wish, we at least are ready to acknowledge the imperfection of our learning and 'Prompt to remedy its deficiencies so far a - g lies in ° lir Power. Our scientific men confess themselves t° be in some measure baffled by the kindred visitations of the cholera and the cattle plague, and accordingly, instead of insisting that they know all that can be known, they are endeavour ing to extend the area of their information. In . this attempt they are assisted by the authorities of their different nations, and we find that the establishment of a Conference to discover the first causes of an outbreak of cholera, the places where it originates, and the peculiar characteris tics of its progress, is -now finally determined on. M. DROUYN DE L'Huvs has just issued a circular to the various diplomatic representatives of France, informing them of the objects and character of the Conference, and the importance which the EMPEROR attaches to its deliberations. It is well known that one of the primary objects of this Con ference will be to inquire into the customs of the fanatics who yearly journey to Mecca, whose extravagant superstitions, and filthy habits, and reckless ignorance are believed to contribute greatly towards the spread of the evil, Heaps of animal :and vegetable refuse putrifying under an Eastern 'sun are certainly not calculated to favour sanitary .conditions ; yet remains of thousands of sheep, (sacrificed by these pilgrims, are left decaying in the desert sands, to the serious injury of the public health. The arrangements of many Eastern cities, I even those which are the highways of travel, are certainly such as in England we should consider fraught with danger. Despite the Turkish love of the bath, their fatalist doctrines prevent them from exerting themselves to remove the causes of disease and death. This reform, like many others, must begin at the top of the scale, and accordingly the proposed conference, to which most of the European Gcrveinments have given their consent, is likely to do much good. Delegates from different States are to confer with the scientific men most qualified to assist them, and they are to unite in endeavouring to throw all possible light on a subject so vitally important to all nations. The Conference, it is premised, will have no power to interfere in the in ternal affairs of any country, but its office will be to suggest remedies, advise precautions, and, above all, ascertain as far as may be the causes which originate and develope the malady. Such ob jects are reasonable and inoffensive to the most prejudiced Governments, and we can only hope that its researches may increase our scientific knowledge and lead to practical good. Many have been the victims to the tyranny and misrule of the great German Powers, and now it. would seem as if the city of Frankfort was to fall the next sacrifice. The consternation in that quarter at all events appears to be very considerable, and people seem to think that there is no time to lose in making their protest against the extravagant as sumption of the encroaching kingdoms, who would fain monopolise all power and possession to them selves. At a sitting of the Legislative Assembly a motion was brought forward in reference to the notes addressed to the Senate by Austria and Prussia, which requested the Senate to give "speedy information" as to whether com munication had been really received from the Governments of Austria and Prussia that were " injurious" to the independence of the Free City of Frankfort, and also directed especially against the method in which the laws of the press and asso ciations have hitherto been administered. A great deal of debate followed the proposal of this motion, and one speaker, Dr. REINGANUM, wished to post pone it for a few days, but Dr. BRAUNFELS wisely advocated the " immediate passing" of the motion. He said that great danger might be apprehended in consequence of the remarks of the Prussian Press concerning the meaning of these " Notes," and, besides, as they knew that similar notes had been sent to other Federal States, "Frankfort should pre code these Governments with an energetic protest." It was truly stated that the chief feature of these notes was that they could not be regarded as a mere harmless objection, but they were in fact a " new act of compulsion." This is, in reality, the right explanation of the matter, and the more widely it is entertained, and the more fully appre ciated the better for all States concerned in main taining their independence inviolate, and their in terests unimpaired. An insidious foe is sapping at the liberty that still remains to the smaller States of Germany, and it will only be by firm resolution and vigorous efforts that any de cided stand can be made. Half measures will not do, and a timid, vacillating policy can never effect the desired object. This indirect attempt upon the rights and privi leges of Frankfort is a monstrous thing, and cannot be too sternly reprobated. As Dr. FRIEDLEBEN observed, the " honour of the States and their duty as citizens demanded rapid action; the Senate should be reminded of the ancient motto of the free city of Frankfort—' Strong in right.' " If the majority would only adopt such a course, it could not fail to secure them the best protection against their new encroachment on their rights ; but the worst of the matter is, that in all the deliberations that take place in German States so much valuable time is lost, and so much energy exhausted in useless discussions, that little or nothing is effected, until the evil has gone too far to be checked. If even now, under the ad verse aspect of things, at present all the minor states and principalities were to combine at once, in a vigorous style, and assume a determined atti tude, much might be done to check the aspirations of the two great Powers, but, unfortunately Herr Von BISMARCK is only too well versed in those peculiarities which afford him so much advantage in dealing with the numerous petty principalities. He goes straight to his goal, but they are ever changing about, and while they study this conven tionality, and debate upon this precedent, he has changed forms and usages, abolished old customs and established new doctrines. Just now he has his hands full enough to satisfy the most daring and designing Minister that ever filled a high office of State or sought to gain an immense sway over the various states and kingdoms near him. A great deal of political capital has been made out of the visit of Herr VON BISMARCK to France, and it is sought to impress upon the mind of the public that his flattering reception there has put all things straight, and entirely done away with the evil im pression that M. DROUYN DE L'Hurs's famous note created in both France and Prussia. This is mere idle reasoning after all, because there is no thing definite to show to substantiate the asser tion. Mere reports will not do, and for the matter of that, as the French Emperor has no in tention of going to war, at present at all events, he could not do otherwise than be civil and cordial to a statesman so high in the favour of his Sovereign, and so influential in controlling► the destinies of his country as Herr BISMARCK. We have yet to learn that a word or sign was uttered or manifested which can give grounds for supposing that any im portant issue will be the result of the visit of the Berlin factotum to the Emperor. Sharp and dex terous as Herr Von BISMARCK is, he has yet to show that he is the equal, far more the superior, of Louis NAPoLtoig in discernment and dis cretion. After the ve ry stro ng o pp os iti on w hi c h was made in France to the designs of the G erman Powers, and the unsparing abuse which the French press continually heaped upon the course which they followed, it is not at all likely that the least en couragement will now be afforded when the culmi nating point of oppression has been reached. Th e progress which has been made in France for the last few years is a strong and striking contrast to the retrogade movements of the Prussians, and the idea of any coalition worthy of the name now taking place between the two countries is quite prepos terous. Among the most sensible remarks that have been made by the various speakers on the subject of the Duchies may be mentioned the speech of M. lIARKART relative to the tone of policy adopted by the ruling Powers: He did not attend the Frank fort meeting he says, because he did not desire to forestate the next resolutions of the Prussian Par liament. Some of his observations are most worthy of notice, especially those wherein he alludes to the want of principle that is so apparent in the chief actors in the transactions. " He who does not respect the right of disposal of others undermines his own liberty, and never will accep t t h e f ata l doctrine that might is superior to right. WELLESLEY'S motto of honesty is the best policy' appears to be ignored by the statesmen of the present day." These are truths that are more forcible than plea sant, but many will do well and wisely to dwell upon them, and it is quite refreshing to meet with so straightforward an address at this juncture, when tyranny and misrule appear to be the order of the day in German politics. An animated address on the advantages of social I intercourse and the interchange of ideas and expe rience was delivered on Saturday evening, at the Associated Arts' Institute. It was the first meet ing of the Assembly for the season, and was pre sided over by the Chairman, Mr. WESTMACOTT, R.A., being attended by a large number of the members and their friends, who were possibly at tracted by the subject under discussion, as well as by the circumstance of its being the inaugural meeting. It seems that this young Institute, whose objects are to deliver addresses and hold debates on matters connected with the fine arts, as well as to afford artists an opportunity of exhibiting their sketches, interchange ideas, and, generally speak ing, afford facilities for friendly intercourse among professional " brethren in arms and rivals in re nown," has received some severe criticisms. It is, as we have said, a comparatively new undertaking, having been commenced in 1863, but it has been hitherto a decided success. Perhaps this success has been the cause of those censures and strictures to which Mr. WALL, on Saturday evening, under took to reply. The title of his address was, " The Importance of General Mental Culture to the Artist," and laboured not unsuccessfully to prove that the free interchange of thought and experi ence, the pleasant cultivation of kindly and social tastes and feelings, were no less conducive to the real development of the artist's powers than his hours of severer study. " The duty which, as artists, they owed to art was also," argued Mr. WALL, " the duty which socially and morally they owed to society. Whether tray shrank from it in cowardice, neglected it in idleness, or vulgarly mocked at it in selfishness, they were alike culpable and unfaithful." This dictum is not so extravagant, nor this warning so uncalled for, as some might be disposed to believe. The artistic temperament is generally supposed to be only too easily attracted and engrossed by the plea sures of society ; but there is an opposite danger, less apparent, but not less real than the absorption of the mind in pleasure. It is a danger which be sets thoughtful and reflective minds in all profes sions, and because they shrink from a mere butterfly existence, leads them to an isolation and a self absorption which is injurious alike to mind and heart. Every really great man must study life. Before he can speak powerful and enduring lessons to his fellows he must mingle freely with them— must share their interests, must learn to bear their foibles, to tolerate their absurdities, to pity their errors. The man who shuts himself in his library or his studio is not the man to do this, and the more lofty and engrossing his study, the less sym pathy he will have with that common world of life from which, after all, the motive powers of art and poetry are drawn. Apart from the mental gain, there is a very positive physical gain in the relief afforded to the severely tasked faculties by pleasant change of thought and scene. The martyrs of art and study have too often fallen victims to their own disregard of those simple laws of our being which the sublimest genius cannot afford to contemn. .2Esor's illustration of the unstrung bow has long since grown hackneyed, but it is very much to be doubted if its lesson has been sufficiently heeded. The evils of excessive study and too long continued application in the training of the young have long since been pointed out by intelligent physicians, but children of a larger growth have need to be taught the same truth. Excess in anything defeats itself, and -while the headlong pursuit of pleasure numbers more victims than all the arts and sciences ever sarificed, yet the artist who would attain fve eminence must not exhaust his energies by unre mitting toil. It must be interesting to the mem bers of the same profession to compare opinions and to discuss their common objects as seen from different points of view, and such cultivation of the general intelligence is not without its beneficial influence on art. Mr. WALL said forcibly, that "if the architect was not to degenerate into the huilder, painters and sculptors into mere decorators, and decorators into mechanical manufacturers, they must have more and higher thought amongst them." As one meats of diffusing such thought, and of helping to raise the profession at least to sympathy with the highest, such institutes as these are con ducive to the interests of art, and as long as its members honestly strive for the objects which they set before them they will be likely to secure, as they well deserve, success. THE ZOOLOGICAL GARDENS.--Mr. A. D. Bartlett, superintendent of the Zoological Gardens, contra dicts the statements made with reference to the cattle plague having destroyed two bisons and three Italian cattle in the gardens. The truth is that no bisons have been in this collection for several months, and of the three Italian cattle the cow is in perfect health ; ono of the two bulls was slaughtered, as these animals showed strong symptoms of inflammation of the lungs; the other bull died from this same cause. All the ruminants are in perfect health. The only animal in the collection showing signs of sickness is a large baboon. PRESIDENT LINCOLN is thus sketched by the Athenmum as at once the most comical and the most melancholy of men !—A singular, a sad, a humorous man, full of originality and character, is the subject of Mr. Raymond's pen. Tall, unwieldy, gaunt in look, wabbling in motion, pinched in lip, with huge jaws and chin, strong cheek bones, wan colour, big ears, and shaggy brows, round all of which bristled a dark, thin stubble of hair— such was the visible Abraham Lincoln of the strangers' room. Only a pair of solemn eyes, now drooping with weight of care, now lightening with sudden laughter, told of the kindly sense, the sympathising heart, within that out ward, almost forbidding crust. For many months after his name had become a household word with us in England, we thought of him chiefly (apart from his politics and his posi tion) as a jester, a shrewd storyteller, a new edition of "Sam Slick;" we had no idea of his more serious side of character, of his abstraction, his melancholy, of what the Puritans would have called his inwardness. We thought him Yorick ; we had no suspicion that he was also Jaques. Yet this quaint solemnity of aspect was the side of him which struck his countrymen most strongly ; and while his enemies in London were describing him as a jovial buffoon, his enemies in Washington were representing him as a morose fanatic. But the two extremes of mirth and sad ness seemed to meet by natural appointment in this singular man. A Radical member of Congress called upon upon him in the dark days.of 1862, just after a great disaster. Lincoln began to relate some amusing trifle The Radical member, big with the bad news, and anxious to know how the President bore it, rose to his feet, and said, "Mr. President, I did not come here this morning to hear stories ; it is too serious a timo." Instantly the smile disappeared from Mr. Lincoln's face, who exclaimed, "A—, sit down! I respect you as au earnest, sincere man. You cannot be more anxious than lam constantly, and I say to you now, that were it not for this occa sional vont, I should die !" Mr. Carpenter, the portrait-painter, said he had the saddest face ever worn by man. " During some of the dark days of the spring and summer of 1864, I saw him at times when his careworn, troubled appearance was enough to bring tears of sympathy into the eyes of his most bitter opponents. I recall particularly one day, when, having occasion to pass through the main hall of the do mestic apartments, I met hini alone, pacing up and down a narrow passage, his hands behind him, and head bent forward upon his breast, heavy black rings under his oyes, showing sleepless nights—altogether such a picture of the effects of sorrow and care as I have never seen." All evi dence of eye-witnesses shows the same impression of the jester; the familiar story, illustrated in a thousand lives, from King Solomon down to clown Grimaldi. "No man," Mrs. Stowe says, "over suffered more and deeper, albeit with a dry, weary, patient pain, that seemed to some like ineeneihility." But for the vent he would have died. LATEST INTELLIGENCE. (REUTER'S TELEGRAMS.) AMERICA. ARRIVAL OF THE CITY OF WASHINGTON. (Via Crookhaven.) NEW YORK, OCT. 14 (Morning). President Johnson has ordered the cessation of martial law in Kentucky. He has also assured a South Carolina deputation, who presented a memo_ rial to him on behalf of Mr. Davis, that the Go vernment had no disposition for persecution or thirst for blood. One of the deputation then asked that Mrs. Jefferson Davis might be allowed to re side with her friends in South Carolina, instead of being confined in Georgia, as at present. To which the President replied that he had received several letters from Mrs. Davis, only one of which was of a tone to recommend her as a subject for leniency. Mr. M'Culloch, Secretary of the Treasury, has made a speech, in which he said the only proper substitute for coin was a well secured, convertible paper currency. If Congress authorised the funding of the legal tender notes, the work of reduction could probably be reached without seriously em barrassing legitimate business, but, if not, a period of seductive prosperity, resulting in wide-spread bankruptcy, would ensue. Messrs. Stephens and Regan have left Fortress Monroe for the South. General Grant has issued an order for the reor ganisation of the army. All volunteer cavalry east of Mississippi are ordered to be mustered out. All the sea coast forts south of Fortress Monroe are to be garrisoned by coloured troops. The rest of the coloured troops are to be mustered out as fast as they can be dispensed with. President Johnson haspardoned Mr. Humphreys, the newly-elected Governor of Mississippi. Guerilla outrages continue in Mississippi. Howard is making arrangements for restoring to their former owners certain coastlands in Georgia, South Carolina, and Florida, where freedmen were located.

PARIS, OCT. 24. The Moniteur of this morning gives the following account of the visits paid by the Empress to the hospitals of Paris : " The Empress, although suffering from a severe cold, devoted the entire day to visiting the patients suffering in the hospitals from cholera. Her Ma jesty successively visited the hospitals Beaujou, Lariboisiere, and St. Antoine, and approached the bedside of all the cholera patients, questioning and exhorting than with solicitude and devotion. A Sister of Charity stated with great satisfaction that the number of recoveries showed a notable abate ment of the epidemic. A large crowd cheered her Majesty on leaving the hospitals." The Emperor has placed in the hands of the Minister of the Interior 25,000 francs, the Empress 15,000, and the Prince Imperial 1,000, for the . families of those who have died from cholera. The Minister of Public Instruction has published a note stating that the sanitary condition of the Paris and Marseilles Colleges is as satisfactory as could be desired. A telegram received here from Jersey states that from an inquiry which has been instituted it results that no case of yellow fever has taken place at Guernsey. AUSTRIA. AND MEXICO. VIENNA, OCT. 24. The General Correspondenz, in an article upon the rumours that Austria had agreed to place a yearly contingent at the disposal of the Mexican Govern ment, says :—" The sole cause for these rumours is that negotiations have taken place for permission to raise recruits in Austria, in order to fill up the vacancies from death and other causes in the ranks of the Austro-Mexican volunteers. The total num ber of men allowed to be recruited would at the most amount to 2,000. The negotiations are pend ing. The expenses incurred in levying these recruits will be exclusively borne by the Mexican Govern ment." notes of Prussia and Austria, expresses regret that, considering the present stage of the negotiations, it must confine itself to state that such despatches have really been brought to its notice by the Minis ters of Austria and Prussia. The contents of these despatches require grave consideration, but the Senate will not hesitate vigorously to uphold the independence of the Free Town of Frankfort. The Senates reserves its right of making further commu nication to the Legislative Body on this subject as soon as the circumstances will allow. Death of Lord Palmerston. The following despatch has been received at the French Embassy : The Minister of Foreign Affairs to Baron Baude, Chargé d'Affaires of France in London. Monsieur,—The Emperor and his Government could not, without a profound sentiment of regret, witness the disappearance from the political scone of the eminent statesman whose loss England at this moment deplores. His death has profoundly moved public opinion in the country which he served for long years with so much dis tinction. It will echo loudly wherever the English name is known. For ourselves, Monsieur, we have had in many important circumstances the opportunity of appreciating the high qualities with which Lord Palmerston was en dowed, and we shall always love to remember how much he contributed to the establishment of the relations of con fidence and friendship which, from tho beginning of the Second Empire, have existed between France and England. Lord Palmerston was the first, in the month of December, 1851, to recognise the character of the courageous resolu tions which the situation of France inspired in his Majesty. He loyally accepted the consequences, placing himself above the resentments of the past, with a freedom of judg ment so much the more honourable, that at the opening of his career he had been mixed up in the ancient strifes ; he used his influence to bring to the comprehension of his fellow-citizens the services rendered to the cause of order in Europe by tho events which had been accomplished in France. A few years afterwards we found in Lord Palmerston the most decided and certain assistance, when the compli cations in the East occurred, calling on the two nations to unite their efforts, and led them to contract that alliance, not less remarkable by the intimate and loyal agreement of the Cabinets than by the noble emulation of the armies. Nor could we forget the part which belongs to Lord Pal merston in the negotiation of the Treaty of Commerce, con cluded five years ago. As first Minister of the Queen he had emphatically approved the idea of consolidating the relations of England with us by giving them for base a stricter soli darity of material interests. He seconded with all his power the inauguration of that liberal system, henceforth conse crated by experience and adopted to-day by the majority of the States of the Continent. These acts belong to the history of the two countries. The name of Lord Palmerston will remain attached to it, and we shall not lose the recollection of the role which he played in conjunctures of so groat an interest for the rela tions of France and England. Wo make it a duty to unite the testimony of our sympathies to the honours which the British nation so justly renders to his memory. ' I beg of you to be tho interpreter to Lord Russell of tho sentiments of the Emperor and the Government of his Majesty. You will ba good enough at the same time to transmit to the Principal Secretary of State of the Queen a copy of this despatch.—Receive, &c., DROUYN DE LIMY& The following remarks upon Lord Palmergton's death and career are gathered from the continental journals : The Journal des DeZats says :—" Entering public life at a very early age, in the beginning of the century, he has never since ceased to take an active part in the affairs of his country. We shall subsequently consider in a special article this long political career, sometimes so brilliant, often contradictory as to the principles and means em ployed, but immutalile in its aspiration, which was to serve the interests of England at any price. It is this, without speaking of the remarkable talents of Lord Palmerston, which explains the popularity he enjoyed up to the last moment among his countrymen, and certainly, if anything in the world ever was sincere, it is the unanimous regret expressed this morning by the English press, upon this point a very faithful echo of public opinion. We at least aro not singular in considering the policy of Lord Palmer ston as having nearly served its time, and as no longer responding to the ideas and wants of the present day ; but in addition to his other merits, the celebrated Minister possessed that of being pre-eminently English. He was English from his heart, by instinct and by intelligence. Ile loved England passionately, and we ought to add, to the praise of our neighbours, that similar temperaments are not rare amongst them. The Monde states :—" The death of the Queen's Prime Minister is an event. His influence, his experience, and his pliability of mind rendered him a figure worthy to be examined, if not admired. The study of the noble lord's political life would bo a complete History of England dur ing the last thirty years. It is not the most brilliant period of that history. The attitude of the English Go vernment has not always had that firmness which made the reputation of its statesmen at the c'ose of the last or the commencement of the present century. It is, perhaps, necessary to attribute this relative weakness to the reaction consequent upon the immense efforts made by England to overthrow the First Empire. There is another phase of Lord Palmerston's personality which deserves still more attentive examination, and which may explain more than one apparently illogical act. Lord Palmerston occupied a very high rank in European freemasonry. The part played by England in the matter of the Italian annexations, and principally in Sicily and at Naples, is in the remembrance of all. The official re ception given to Garibaldi a reception which the will of the Prime Minister might have prevented — the attitude taken by the Cabinet of St. James's, under the influence of its president, upon every occasion when there has been question of some undertaking having a political character—these facts and many others prove to demon stration that official acts must not be the only ones to be regarded with importance by the historian of Lord Pal merston." The Opinione Nationale remarks :—" A grand figure has just left the world's stage. Lord Palmerston is dead. During the sixty years that he has entered into political life he has never ceased to occupy, either in power or in opposition, an important place. A rare mixture of pru dence and decision, of suppleness and vigour, has kept him for more than half a century in the foremost rank of British statesmen ; he combined, iu the highest degree, the qualities and tho defects of his country, which loved to re cegnise in him one of the most finished examples of the English character. Latterly, every rumour, every dis cussion, ceased around him ; it seemed that Great Britain had grown old with her First Minister. This death will probably be the signal for a new classification of parties, and if the foreign policy of England is not likely to be changed, internal questions, and especially electoral re form, are likely to demand a large share of attention. France does not lose a friend in Lord Palmerston. Still, wo cannot announce his death without paying a last tri bute of respect to the eminent statesman, who, sometimes our ally, sometimes our adversary, will be known in his tory as one of tho accomplished typos of an English gen tleman and statesman." La Patric says:—"England has just lost her ablest Minister, her greatest statesman since EIX and Pitt. Lord Palmerston died yesterday. It is tho most fatal blow the Government of the Queen could receive. When England lost Sir Robert Peel his policy was clearly marked. Lord Palmerston carries with him the secret of a policy which we may criticise, but which, it must be confessed, has often been the strength, tho resource of Great Britain. It is less, however, by his acts than by the prestige of his name, his long experience, and his relations with all the leading men of the age, that Lord Palmerston was a power for his country." Le Nord states_ :—" Lord Palmerston was more than the chief of a party, more than an able Minister. He was a national illustration of which the English people, Conser vatives as well as Liberals, were proud ; and before his tomb the dissensions of parties must be silent to make way for a universal mourning. The impression produced by the death of the First lord of the Treasury will be somuch the more profound as his popularity was increasing. . . All other news disappears before this death : which will for a long time absorb public attention." La France says :—" Ono of the greatest personages of our age has just disappeared from the political scene. Lord Palmerston is dead. It is impossible to foresee at present the influence which this sad event will have upon the policy of England, and the important questions which con cern tho peoples of our times. . . . He was ono of the most perfect and large-minded of political geniuses. Ho was an administrator and a man of the tribune, a legislator and an orator. He held in his hands all the threads of European diplomacy, and ho never lot ono escape him by chance or without a purpose. The loss which England has sustained is immense." The Presse observes :—" The old policy of England will be buried in Lord Pahnerston's tomb, and the hour of de mocracy will soon strike in liberal England. The states man who would succeed to the heritage of Palmerston must have the courage to become the Robert Peel of universal suffrage." The Avenir National says :—" He was very indifferent to the great movements which troubled other countries, and saluted the Republic of 1848 and the coup cretat of 1851 with empressement." Ifindependance Beige says:—" A man who has played a grand rule in the history of his country and of the world died yesterday. Lord Palmerston, Prime Minister to Queen Victoria, is no more. His loss will be regarded as a public calamity. The quickness, suppleness, and the infinite resources of his intellect ; his courage in confront ing, sometimes with a levity more apparent than real, difficulties and dangers before which other statesmen re coiled ; an invaluable aptitude to foresee the fluctuations of public opinion, and to follow them when the interests of England or thole of its ambition counselled him—these are qualities which during a long political career made Lord Palmerston the most popular person in his own country, and the corner-stone of the arch which main tained the balance of parties in the period of transforma tion which England, and Europe with lier, is traversing at this moment." The Cologne Gazette says :—"lf any one in future times wishes to sketch the portrait of an English statesman he had bettor try to write Lord Palmerston's history. Free England has the good fortune to possess statesmen of reputation as a special class—men called by birth and education to devote themselves to public affairs. Palmerston had not the moral elevation nor the entrancing fire of the elder Pitt— not the cool calculation of the younger, not the deep seri ousness and the religious conscientiousness of a Peel. The English also do not assign him so high a place in oratory as the fiery Canning; nay, they even consider him as sub ordinate to the sophistical Gladstone, and other modern speakers. But this judgment is probably mainly based upon imperfect delivery and outward form ; otherwise it would only prove the defective taste of the English. Many of his speeches, even those only delivered at an election or a dinner, are real masterpieces of manly eloquence and dalicate taste, overflowing with spirit and humour. With out being a learned man, or an expert, he yet represented the advanced spirit of general education and enlightened humanity as hardly any other English statesman, and yet he was a genuine Englishman in mind and manner of life. He was as indefatigable in the hunting field as at the desk, and exercised all the more influence over his nation because he was its genuine son. As regards his personal character as a man, he had no enemy. From one generation of Eng lishmen to another the saying will be handed down, We are all proud of him.' " The .21.1intiteur of Stiturday announced that the Emperor and Empress had caused the expression of their sympathies to be transmitted to Lady Palmerston. The following are among the opinions of our weekly contemporaries : TheSaturday:Review says :—lf he was not a great Minis ter, he was the most fortunate of statesmen and not the least prudent. He thoroughly understood his own coun trymen, and it happened that his system of foreign policy at length, after the lapse of many years, coincided with the creed which was universally adopted. His only bitter ad versaries were the advocates of democratic change and the tribe of intolerant theorists. More impartial critics thought that his popularity was extravagant, and that longevityf was in itself rather an accident than a virtue. His hold, however, on public sympathies, if it was not profound, was almost universal. His memory will be the more pleasantly recalled because he died in the full tide of prosperity, without any painful interval of obscure decay The Spectator says—He is the last of the school of Mini sters whose imaginations were trained by the story of Chatham's and Pitt's coups in foreign policy, though he never deserved the reputation for rashness which these ideas gained him. Higher-minded statesmen we have ; bolder, more sagacious, and more honourable in feeling we probably shall not have again. The Observer says—Even the foreign nations with whom his unswerving duty to his own country so often brought him into angry conflict have done justice to his memory, and see in that very devotion to his own land the highest title to their respect and admiration. When the departure of such a man—however inevitable it must have been—is felt as a shock over the wide, wide world, what must it be to those who were accustomed to the charm of his inter course, or who 'were honoured with his confidence and esteem? It is more than 20 years since the Observer ven tured to call him the foremost man left in Europe. That estimate was censured then by political opponents as the exaggerated tribute of personal admiration, or of a criti cism more friendly than just. And yet there is none to dispute now its fairness or its truth. The London Review says—No statesman of our own day has enjoyed so world-wide a reputation, and, whether rightly or wrongly, none has been so universally accepted abroad as in a peculiar degree the representative of Eng land. His disappearance from the scene of action will be regarded by foreign nations as the probable inauguration of an important change in the foreign policy of England. We do not think that that anticipation is likely to be rea lised, but there can be no doubt that the noble lord's death will have an important effect at home. No other states man can rally round him the whole Conservative forces of the kingdom ; nor can any one else oppose reform with out losing the confidence or forfeiting the support of the Liberal party. Ame: ican Cotton. The Boston Journal of the 11th says : The price of cotton is going up at a rapid rate, in con sequence of an active spinning and speculative demand. During tho latter half of last week it advanced 6c. per pound ; and Monday, after the receipt of the China news, the price rapidly rose 8c more, making a total rise of 14c. since Wednesday last. At the close of business on Mon day, good middlings were sold at 68c. per pound, and some holders were asking 60c. The market opened strong on Tuesday morning, when the same quality of cotton was quoted at 60c. to 65c. The steamer Tycoon, from Memphis for Louis ville, with 1,50.0 bales of cotton, had been burned on the Mississippi. Texas papers estimate that there will not be more than half a crop of cotton. The cotton of that State that was raised by Germans is said to be of clearer and of finer quality than that raised by slaves. It is estimated that 25,000 bales of cotton will be procured this year along the line of the Illinois Central Railroad, against 5,000 bales last year. The New Orleans Picayune, of the 30th of Sep tember, reports on the markets there : The weather being more favourable than for some time past, although not quite settled, cotton buyers come for ward with increased spirit to-day, but generally with offers below tie views of factors. As many of the latter, however, evinced a disposition to meet the demand more freely, a fair amount of business was done, at prices show ing a decided advantage on the side of the buyers. At the same time, all even running or otherwise desirable lists commanded previous rates ; and, for the present, we do not feel justified in reducing our quotations. The sales were to a liberal extent. We have the particulars of 3,100 bales, but hear of something brought by a party we were unable to see, which will probably swell the amount to 3,250 bales, The business included 900 bales to one party, and 600, 500, 160, 150, 100, 80, 60, and some smaller lots to others. Re ferring to our remarks above, we continuo to quote ordi nary at 32. to 35c ; good ordinary at 38c. to 40c. ; low middling at 41c. to 43c. ; and middling at 44c. to 45c. Statement of Cotton. Bales.

Hitherto the mana gers have contrived to transport their gigantic charge to and from the Egyptian Hall without permitting him to be seen by the inquisitive eyes of the public. But yesterday morning all the precautions were frustrated by a singular accident. As the vehicle containing the Chinese party neared Westminster Abbey the weight of Chang proved too much for the carriage, the bottom of which suddenly gave way, precipitating the whole Celestial party into the mud. Chang bore the accident with his usual philosophical equanimity, but poor little Chung Mow was sadly disturbed by his sudden plunge in the mud, and King-foo's modesty was seriously offended. However, they contrived to scram ble upon the seats, and managed to retain their position in the dilapidated vehicle until they were safely deposited at the Egyptian Hall. THE YORKSHIREMAN'S VIEW OF To3I THUMB.—A very raw Yorkshireman lately came to town to see General Tom Thumb, his wife, family, &c. He arrived late on the night of the very day that General T. T., his wife, family, &c., had held their last levee. The Yorkshireman was in despair. He had travelled all the way from Rose berry Topping to seo General Tom Thumb, and he could not endure his disappointment. Luckily, he had a letter of introduction to the editor of a London newspaper. He delivered the letter, and prayed the editor, who of course as an editor was all powerful, to get him a pri vate interview with the General. The editor, anxious to get rid of the young man, pacified him by telling 'him that he would use his best endeavours. The editor left• his house, and on his way to his office met Mr. Paul Bed ford, to whom ho related the Yorkshireman's embarrass ment. Paul took the editor by the button-holo, and said, "Dear boy, dear boy ; bring him to see me. I'l l be General Tom. Thumb." The editor saw tho j oke, and saw the Yorkshireman to Mr. Paul Bedford's house. "Is General Tom Thumb at home ?" asked the Yorkshireman. "Yes, sir," said the servant, who immediately ushered him into his portly presence. The Yorkshireman looked upon Mr. Paul Bedford, and Mr. Paul Bedford returned his gaze. "I beg your pardon," said the country man ; " there is some mistake. I wished to see General Torn Thumb." l am General Tom Thumb," said Paul, blandly. " You ?" cried the ast Dnished Yorkshireman. " ! Sit down, sit down, dear boy ; and take a glass of wino." "It is a swindle—a robbery—a do—an imposition," roared the countryman. "What is ?" asked Paul, innocently. "You are," cried the Yorkshireman. " The bills say you are only two feet 1 something high—that you only weigh seventeen pounds." " No more I do," said Paul, " in public ; but I am in pri vate here, at home, and taking my ease. And—and your wifo and baby ?" stammered Roseberry Topping. " Just now they are out," was the reply, "and, therefore, of the size and weight described in the programme. No ono knows what we public characters go through in our anxiety to gratify our audiences. You see, during our levees, we suffer so much from compression that we are obliged to rosort to these means to restore the natural balance,"—lllustrated Times. FRANCE. The Minister of War has decided, at the request of the General commanding the Ist corps d'arnzec, that, so long as the cholera prevails, 3c. additional shall be daily given for each soldier in Paris and the environs, for the purpose of supplying the men with hot coffee before exposing themselves to the cold morning air. The Prefect of POlice has ordered flannel belts to be distributed gratuitously to all the sergeants-de ville, and has also established, in each police station, a kind of canteen for supplying rum and medica ments during the night. Flannel waistbands have also been distributed amongst all the troops of the garrison of Paris, each soldier 'receiving one.

A monument is to be raised over the tomb of the defunct with the surplus of the money added to the produce of col lections to be made amongst the population. THE COMMERCIAL TRAVELLERS' LIFEBOATS.- - The commercial travellers in the United Kingdom, but principally those of the Midland Counties and the North. of England, have liberally contributed the cost of two life boats to the National Lifeboat Institution. One of the boats is stationed atPiel, on the coast of LanCashire,and the other boat is being forwarded to Castletown, in the Isle of Man. The boats are respectively named the " Commercial Trit eller, Nos. 1 and• 2." Mr. R. Affieck, of Manchester, Mr. W. Bishop, of Boston, and other friends, have been inde fatigable in their kind exertions to promote the collection of this lifeboat fund. By .desire of the commercial travel lers their second lifeboat was taken to Sheffield on the way to her station that they might have the opportunity of seeing her ; and a public demonstration took place at Sheffield with the boat yesterday (Monday.) The day being fine, thousands of people turned out to see the "boat of mercy." She is a fine craft, 32ft. long and 7ft. wide, carries ten oars, double banked, and is built of mahogany. The ceremony of presenting the lifeboat to the institution took place in the Botanical Gardens, tho use of which was generously granted by the proprietors• The Rev. Canon Sale, •vicar of Sheffield, pronounced benediction on the boat, and Miss Jessop, the daughter of the mayor, performed the ceremony of naming the boat. After this part of the work had been gone through 1r• Bishop, on behalf of the donors, formally made the presen tation of the boat to the National Lifeboat Institution. It should be added that a free conveyance was readily g ranted to the boat and carriage by the Midland Railway CompanY and by the continuous line of railway companies to Liver pool, whence they were conveyed on similar liberal terms by the Isle of Man Royal Mail Steam Steam Packet Com pany to Castletown. TRADE OF CARDIFF.—During the nine months ending September 30 last the exports of coal from this port reached 1,081,418 tons ; iron, 119,104 tons ; pre served coal, 31,150 tons ; and coke, 6,844 tons. In 186 4 the exports for the same period were 1,090,499 tons of coal, and 127,351 tons of iron; and in 1863, 1,067,583 tons of coal, and 136,060 tons of iron. The decrease this year, 8. 0 compared with 1864, is mainly attributable to the falling off in Up continental demand during the summer months, and the competition of other ports has also diverted a little of the Aberdare coal traffic. The decrease in the exports of iron was caused by the reduced shipments to America, and a large quantity of iron that was formerly sent out from the local ports to various foreign markets is now for warded to Liverpool and London for shipment. SIIOCKING CASE OF SUICIDE.—On Saturday morn ing Mr. Banks, a newsagent of Lewes, was passing the door of a house occupied by a man named Brickmau , when Mrs. Brickman rushed out and told him that her husband had hung himself. Ascertaining from the women that she had cut her husband down, Mr. Banks fetched Dr" Murrell, and on arriving at the house he found Brickmen lying on the floor of his bedroom. On an examination being made life was found to be extinct. At the inquest in the evening it appeared from the evidence that the de ceased had lately given way to despondency, in consequence of his fears that he should be ruined because of having taken larger and more expensive premises. The jury gave the verdict that deceased hung himself while in a state of - sound mind. un THE CONFEDERATE GENERALS. —The rebel gene rals, like our Federal soldiers, are dropping quietly back into civil life. General Lee has just been installed with great humility and no show or ostentation, as Pre sident of Washington College, at Lexington, Virginia. General Johnston sought for the presidency of a railroad' and, having failed to obtain it for some political or politic reasons, is now an applicant for a similar position on another road. General Humphreys has within a few days been elected Governor of Mississppi, and another rebel general has been elected to Congress from the same state.

THE CONFESSION OF THE WIGAN MURDER. -- ; Yesterday the prisoner John Healey, who is charge' on his own confession with having been concerned in the murder of James Ba r t on , a t tho Burton Pit, Haigh, near Wigan, in January, 1863, was taken before the county. 4 magistrates by the police of the Wigan division, butyl a remanded for the production of additional evidence. general opinion seems to be that little if any credit is to " attached to the confession of the accused. _es THE STATE OF THE MONEY MARKET.—The IWor nion of the best-informed judges is that money 1 , not be cheaper for a little while, and we have little d 4 o v o that this opinion is well founded. It is certain th at 50°,,,„' money will be sent to Egypt, and some will probably P; sent to India also.
