NONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE, --...--- Two O'CCK. The Engli s h S tock Market has presented a LO heavy and depre sse d appearance to-day, and the Funds show a decline of 1 per cent. The attention devoted to the arrangement for the settlement in the foreign and share department has prevented any active dealing. Consols have receded to 88 1 for money, and to 881 89 for the acconnt.

It is stated that Major-General Butler had an interview with the President on the 2nd instant, during W hich he tendered his resignation. But it is added that 11 0 such document has reached the Adjutant-General's °face from the Executive Mansion or from General Butler. During the month of September, four hundred and fifty post-offices were re -opened in the South, and service ordered on fifty post- routes. This number would have been largely increased, but the department has found tstera goon deal of difficulty in finding persons to act as post s who can take the required oath of allegiance to the theytited States. This oath requires them to declare that have never participated in nor sympathised with the rebellion. Fifty returned miners arrived at St. Louis last week from Montana, who brought through with them 8150,000 in gold. This is the first large party of miners that have returned from there this fall. They report no trouble on the rotvi with the Indians. TWELVE O'CLOCK. The Money Market has been vy active, and the rates for discount accommodation er have been firm at Gi and 7 per cent. The fortnightly settlement in ' foreign. bonds and all c l asses of shares is occasioning 1 a good inquiry for money, especially for short loans ; and this, together with the bills ariving. at ity on the 4th of the month, cause the demand matur to be rather larger than usual. In the manufacturing districts last week there was 2 . rather less animation, particularly as regards opera- I tions in the textile departments of Manchester, Leeds, Bradford and Huddersfield. At Leicester and Not- . 8 tingham the hosiery and lace trades were mode- 8 rately active, while at Birmingham, Sheffield, and Wolverhampton increased activity prevailed in most 8 departments, chiefly to supply foreign demands.

Market• Police-constable Rogers, 89 F—About half-past 10 o'clock last night I was on duty in plain clothes beneath the Piazza, Covent-garden Market, and saw the prisoner standing with the witness White and another female against the Bedford Hotel. I saw the prisoner take Miss Jennings by the arm ; they appeared to be struggling to gether. As they were passing me I heard the young woman say " I will strike you." The prisoner said " No, you won't; no, you won't ;" and at the same kept pulling her along. As they were crossing the road to the market I saw Mr. Loader and the barman leaving the house and following them. I heard the barman say " Come along," and they ran on into the market. When they got there Miss Jennings and the prisoner were on the ground. I saw the barman trying to got him off her. I caught him by the nape of the neck and dragged him off her. As I did so I saw a razor lying at his feet beside a pool of blood. The barman picked it up and gave it to Sergeant Rogers. I have been on duty there for about a month. The prisoner used to go to the house every night, but for the last ten days I have seen him waiting about outside, and have sometimes asked him what ho was waiting for. By Mr. Abrams—l have only known the prisoner by seeing him about the market for the last month. I did not hoar any conversation. If he said anything it was before I came up. When he got up from the ground he did not say anything. I must have heard him if he did. I had hold of his collar all the time. Sergeant Rogers, F 17—I was on duty at about half past ten o'clock last night in the market, near Tavi stock-court, when I heard a scream and a cry of " Police !" in the market. I want to the spot and found Jennings there. Sho was bleeding, and there was a pool of blood at her feet. A gentleman said, " That is him." I turned to the prisoner and took him by the collar. A man said, "He has cut her throat." He could hear that. Policeman Rogers, 89 F, had him by the collar. I told Rogers and another constable, 105 F, to get a cab and take her to the hospital. I took the prisoner to tho station. He said, "She has led me a curious life, and now I have marked her." The prisoner was not at all excited He appeared rather pale—that was all. Until he got to the station he never uttered a word. Mr. William Travers, resident medical officer Charing cross Hospital—l saw the young woman a little before 11 o'clock last night and admitted her to the hospital. She had an incised wound on the left side of the face, which extended from behind the ear, dividing the lobo, and ex tending across the check. One or two arteries were divided. She had also an incised wound on the back of the left hand, which was not very severe. There was and had been considerable hemorrage—bleeding. The wound was ban daged and is going on well. Unless erysipela s should set in the wound is not dangerous. Mr. Flowers inquired whether, from the place where the wound was, it might not have been more serious ? Mr. Travers replied that it might. The wound was such as might have been produced by such an instrument as the razor produced. The wound was clean cut. Mr. Travers pointed out that the edge of the razor Was considerably notched. Mr. Travers, havig examined the razor, said it was an instrument quite capable of producing the wound. He did not think that Miss Jennings would be well enough to attend this week. She might if she went on as favourably as she was now doing, but even then it might do her mischief. Mr. Abrams—Do you consider hor out of danger. Mr. Travers—l do not consider hor in danger at pre sent. Mr. Abrams said that after hearing tho medical evidence, from which it appeared that the case assumed a less alarm ing aspect than might at first have been anticipated, he should fool it to be his duty to ask for the ad m i ss i on of the prisoner to bail. Respectable sureties would be found, and the prisoner was well known in the neighbourho o d . Mr. Flowers did not think it right to make observations, but he would call attention to the question he had put to Mr. Travers, a question which he considered very impor tant in reference to intent. Ho did not think he could, con sistently with his duty, admit the prisoner to bail. BREAKFAST BEVERAGE. —Homoeopathic practitioners, and the medical profession generally, recommend cocoa as being the most healthful of alt beverages. When the doctrine of homoeopathy was first introduces into this country, there were to be obtained no preparations of cocoa either attrac tive to the taste or acceptable to the stomach ; the nut was either supplied in the crude state, or so unskilfully manu factured as to obtain little notice.

Epps, of London, homoeopathic chemist, was induced in the year 1839 to turn his attention to this subje.t, and at length succeeded, with the assistance of elaborate machinery, in being the first to produce an article pure in its composition, and so refined by the pert• et trituration it ie2eives in the process it passe.4 through, as to be most acceptable to the delicate stomach. For general use Epps' cocoa is diaiin_uished as an invigo rating, grateful breakfast beverage, with a delLious aroma Dr. Hassan in his work, "Food and its Adulterations," sate—." Cocoa contains a great variety of important nutritive principles; every ingredient necessary to the growth and sustenance of the body." Again, "As a nutritive, cocoa stands very much higher than either coffee or tea." Direc tions: —Two teaspoonfuls of the powder in a breakfast cup, filled up with boiling water or milk.

Attempted Murder" in CoVent Garden Last evening, between ten and eleven o'clock, a delibe rate and most determined attempt was made by a .young man, named. James Murphy, living at 8, Russell-street, a market salesman, to murder a young woman, named Mary Ann Jennings; barmaid to Mr. Loader, •of the Red Lion, at the corner of Russell-street and the Piazza, Covent garden. Murphy had been courting - Miss Jennings for. Some years, and it is stated that there had been an engage ment which she had broken off, and that the disappoint ment had exasperated hint - to this act of violence. LaSt evening Mu'rphy was seen waiting about near the Red Licin . for the return of Miss Jennings, who had gone out for the -ovening.tHe was noticed in front of the house about nine o'clock by Rodgers, F 89, on duty (in priVate clothes) in the Piazza. Shortly after ten Rodgers saw . him with her opposite the house. Ile .was dragging her towards the market, and a young woman who had accompanied her home was in the act of rushing into the house to ask for help. Witness hurried towards the'spot, and found that Murphy had thrown Miss Jennings on the ground and him self upon her. He heard her say, " I will strike you." Murphy replied, "No, you will not." Rodgers perceived that ho was " working" with a sawing motion The in stant he reached the spot Rodgers seized Murphy and dragged him away from:his victim. Her throat appeared to be cut, and her face and neck were covered with blood. She was removed to Chtuing-cross Hospital,.where phe was placed under the care of Dr. Travers, the house-surgeon She had a gash across the upper part of the throat and the' jaw, cutting off a small piece, of the ear. She had also a cut across the forehead. Her throat had been protected from further injury by a brooch in the neckerchief. Her fingers were cut, as if in an attempt to protect her: throat: A razor, supposed to be the instrument with which the deed was committed, was found at Murphy's feet by the barman, who had hurried to the spot at the first alarm. When able to speak, the first thing Miss Jennings said was that she hoped they would let him go. EXAMINATION' OF THE PRISONER AT BOW STREET (THIS DAY). James Murphy, aged 29, a salesman in Covent Garden market, was brought before Mr. Flowers, charged by Policeman Rogers, 89 C, with cutting and wounding Mary Anne Jennings with intent to murder her. The -prisoner appeared somewhat depressed, but perfectly cool and collected. Mr. Abrams, from the office of Mr. Goatly, defended. Sarah White—l live with my uncle at the Old Red Lion Tavern, at the corner of Russell-street, Covent Gar den. lam a single woman. Tho young woman and I went out together to visit her uncle at Regent's Park. The young woman's name was Mary Ann Jennings, and she was a barmaid. When we got back at about 20 minutes to 11 o'clock, we met James Murphy, by the Bedford Hotel. He called her all manner of names, put his arm round her neck, and said, "You shall go with me." She said, " I shall not." He said, "You shall," and pulled a knife from his waistcoat pocket. I think it was a white handled knife, similar to that produced. He opened it. She then said she would go with him if he would let her go in doors first. When he took out the knife, he said, "If you don't go with me I will cut my throat." He caught hold of her and dragged her from the Bedford Hotel to the cor ner of the Piazza. He pulled out the knife twice. The second time was when she said if he would let her go in first. I ran into the house. I did not look back. By Mr. Abrams—Ho did not seem to put himself out Much. When he pulled out the knife the second time he was more excited. I have known him three weeks. I believe they had kept company about nine years. When he said he would cut his own throat he did not appear so very excited. I have had many conversations with her about him. She has always expressed to me that he has behaved with kindness and feeling towards her. William Virinslado, barman at the Old Rod Lion—About 20 minutes to 11 last night Miss White ran in and told me that Murphy was pulling Miss Jennings about in the most disgraceful manner. I ran out and so.* him struggling with her under the pillars of the market. I saw him with a razor in his right Land sawing at her throat in that manner Lmaking a gesture]. I struck his arm and ho dropped the razor. I said, " Oh, Murphy, what have you done." They were both on the ground, and he had his left arm under her neck. He jumped up, and looking me in the face said, " and you." I picked up the razor, and brought it to the station, where I gave it to the sergeant. I was first on the spot. The policeman came up about a minu,te and a half after me. Cross-examined by Mr. Abrams—l have known him about eight months. When he jumped up I did not say a word to him. He only said the words I hare mentioned. He seemed quite cool. If he was excited I did not see it. I said to Miss Jennings what is the matter ?" She said, " Oh, Winslade," Mr. Loader is just behind, when Murphy said the words I have mentioned, but I cannot say whether ho heard them or not. Mr. Loader might have been 14 yards behind. The prisoner spoko with great violence. I aria sure they were the words. To Mr. Flowers—Ho said it as if ho was angry at my having interrupted him. I don't think ho had any against me. To Mr. Abrams- -During the last eight months he has visited the house almost daily. We had words on one oc• casion, and for the last month have not been on the bes to rms. MARK-LANE. The trade for wheat in the country markets held on Saturday was very firm, and a:further advance of is per qr. took place in prices. Spring corn of all descriptions was in request, and the quotations had an upward tendency: For flour there was a steady demand, and prices wore rather on the advance. On the Continent the wheat trade is firm, with an up ward movement in price. At Now York the export demand has slightly increased, and both wheat and flour have rea lised higher.prices. Fresh up to our market to-day tho arrivals of wheat from Essex and Kent were very small, but most samples were received in fair condition: Tho trade was very firm both for red and white qualities, and a clearance of the supply brought forward was readily effected. As com pared with Monday last, the prices realised showed an ad vance of 2s per quarter. The supply of barley on sale was very moderate.

We wore again heavily supplied with foreign stock, for which the inquiry ruled heavy, on rather lower terms when compared with Monday last. The quality of both beasts and sheep was very middling. - . The arrivals of beasts fresh up from our own grazing dis- tricts were only moderate, whilst those from Ireland and Scotland were limited. As to quality the supply was rather inferior. Prime Scots, short horns, Herefords, and Devons commanded a steady sale, at full quotations. Inferior breeds were dull, and rather cheaper. The top figures were 5s 2d to 5s 4d per Blbs. From Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northampton shire we received about 1,500 short horns, &c. ; from other parts of England, 500 various broeds ; from Scotland, 38 Scots and crosses ; and from Iroland, 200 oxen, cows, and heifers. The aggregate supply of sheep was rather extensive. Good and prime Downs and half-breds, as well as Leicesters and Lincolns, moved off steadily at full prices; otherwise the mutton trade was somewhat heavy, on rather lower terms. The highest quotation for Downs was Gs 8d per 81bs. There was a fair number of calves on show. The de mand for them was inactive, nevertheless late currencies wore supported. Prices ranged from 4s 6d to 5s 6d per Blbs. Prime small pigs were scarce and in request, at from 5s 4d to 5s 10d per 81bs. Large hogs moved off heavily, at from 4s 2d to 5s 2d per 81bs.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE:—This Day, MARLBOROUGH -STREET. OBTAINING CHARITABLE CONTRIBUTIONS BY FALSE PRE TENCES.—EIizabeth Hemsley, who described herself as a cook, of Litehficld-street, Rugeloy, Staffordshire, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with unlawfully endeavour ing to procure charitable contributions under false and fraudulent pretences. Mr. William Copeland, of the firm of Copeland and Co., china warehousemen, Staffordshire and New Bond-etreet, said that on . tho 15th of April last the prisoner came to his place of business, 16, New Bond-street, and told him a very plausible tale, to the effect that she had been housekeeper to Mr. Spode, of Rugeley, Staffordshire, that she had come up to London to see her brother off who was going abroad, that her pocket had been picked at the railway station, and that in consequence she was without means, and asked him to assist her. She asked for 155., but he gave her a sovereign, believing her story t o b e true. He after wards wrote to Mr. Spode, and rece i ved a letter from whi c h i t appeared that some time ago i n hi s serv i ce, b ut consequence, of her miscond uc t, an d wt h h • a o e m s pdrii discharged gr g eh e da n d t i lne been m a n that she had been in gaol more than once, atd had subse quently much annoyed Mr. Spode. He (Mr. Copeland) subsequently made inquiries, and ascertained that the pri soner had been to all the Staffordshire families in town with a similar tale, obtaining and endeavouring to obtain charitable contributions. An advertisement was then inserted in some of the newspapers, cautioning the public against the prisoner. Afterwards seeing a report in a local newspaper of a case before Mr. Mansfield, in which it ap peared that the prisoner had by a similar tale to that told him (Mr. Copeland) obtained money from Col. Wetherall, he communicated with tie police, and on the prisoner being liberated from prism, after undergoing the punish ment imposed by Mr. Mansfield, she was again taken into custody. Henry Dawson, 301 A, said there were several other cases against the prisoner. • In answer to Mr. Tyruhitt, the prisoner said she had no questions to ask. Dawson said that he apprehended the prisoner that evening on her coming out of the Westminster Bridewell, where she had b een un dergoing three months' imprison ment. He t o ld h er th a t s he was charged with obtaining £1 from Mr. C ope l an d , o f Now Bond-street, by false pre tences, when she replied "Yes, I did have it, and I ex pected some ono here this morning for me.: He wished for a remand. The prisoner said she was guilty. She did borrow the money. Mr. Tyrwhitt asked whether anything was said about the money being lent? Mr. Copeland said nothing of the kind. The prisoner, who has been convicted at this court, and at Marylebone, was then remanded. St. James's Hall. _ The boys of the Duke of York's School, with their excellent band, under the sole direction of Mr. John Wilson, bandmaster, attended St. James's Hall, on Saturday afternoon last (specially invited), to witness " The World of Magic," " Begone, Dull Care," and the Great French Giant, " Anak," who on that occasion made his -first appearance in public. The whole of the boys, with the band, ,marched round the "Colossus," shaking hands most heartily, whilst the diminutive army looked up with wonder and amazement on this towering monument of human nature. Upon this occasion Professor Ander son gave the following short address to the boys, all ' of whom were delighted with the treat accorded to them : Welcome ! yonag soldiers, to this hall ; A welcome—here's my hand. Your fathers he&rd the bugle's call On many a distant land. And when arrivl at men's estate May you like courage show-- Your honour'd fathers imitate, If you should meet the foe. But let all hope that peaco will reign, The sword aside be thrown, And olive branches long remain Entwin'd around each Throne ! Anak, the Frenchman, has totally eclipsed Chang, the Chinaman, for height and size, and thus Professor Anderson again stands prominent in his.exertions to gratify an d entertain his host of owing to the admirabl e arrangement of the b Mr. Nimmo, th e acting manager, the whole ts. The hall way crowded to suffo ca ti on, o cir l ou 'e ni o °6s f the delighted audience were enabled to see the giant without inconvenience. Professor Anderson's is certainly the greatest ‘, show" in the metropolis. DRURT-LANE THEATEE.—On Saturday evening the historical tragedy of " Julius Caesar" was per formed for the first time this season. Mr. Phelps's Brutus is a very fine performance, full of the purest feeling and the strongest effect. Mr. Anderson's Mark Antony is one of his best porsonations, and in parts is very good. He was much applauded in the rostrum scene. Mr. Swinbourne is the Cassius, and Mr. Edmund Phelps the Ciesar. Miss Atkinson was a graceful CLlphurnia. The play was pre ceded by a farce by Mr. Edmund Falconer, the lessee, entitled " Husbands Beware," in which the principal character is a lady who is a husband-tamer. In the course of her practice on a very refractory patient, Professor Snaffles (Mr. G. Delmore), she produces a great deal of merriment, and the fun having been kept up a sufficient time for an introductory piece it concludes amidst the roars and applause of the audience. Shakspere's "King John" will be produced on Saturday next, and there is every reason to expect it will be one of the finest illus trations ever put upon any stage. LYCEUM THEATRE.—After an unusually long recess, during which Mr. Fechter has been successfully performing in the country, this theatre will reopen for the winter season on Monday, November G. A new drama will be produced on that night, called " The Watch Cry." In addition to the numerous attractions it pre sent in the entertainments at Canterbury Hall, there is a solo performed nightly on the cornet-a-piston, by Mr.' J. 0. Kent, who is composer of " The Ohariug-cross PollFa" —a spirted composition, which is cleverly played. At*.v.7te t tr HER MAJESTY. PApIORAL, Oct. 26.

" THE SPECTATOE, " ON THE NEW CABINET.—A Palmerston Ministry without Lord Palmerston will be about as strong as an arch without a keystone. It is not of 'much use to speculate on Saturday on a decision which by Monday must be made known to all the world, but of this one thing we are satisfied, that if Earl Russell has decided to meet Parliament with a Cabinet unchanged except by the substitu tion of himself for Lord Palmerston and Lord Clarendon for himself, ho has ruined the best pro spect his party ever had of securing a large tenure of power, and carying out large reforms with the full support of the country. - Such a Ministry will be moribund before it has' begun to live, will have neither popularity, nor coherence, nor the power of securing both by vigorous initiative. Earl Russell may be and probably is deceived by the quiescence with which the country accepted Lord Palinerston's Cabinet, but it was never heartily liked. It was tolerated because -Mr. Gladstone and Lord Palmerston himself were included within it, and because the inferiority of other men did but se cure to Lord Palinerston the dictatorship it was desirable he should preserve, but it was neve r re spected for its e lf. The constituencies simply bore with Sir' Charles Wood, and Sir George Grey, and Mr. Cardwell, and Mr. Cowper, and Sir Robert Peel, and the rest of the secondrate men, who under the careful censorship of th e press and occasional snubi from the House contrived to carry on the business of the departments, but they never believed in them, and will -witness their return to power without their chief with apathetic weariness. Mr. Cardwell, with all his solid sense, has not succeeded in New Zealand, or the British American Colonies ; Sir George Grey required two votes of the House to whip him into common sense in the matter of prison judge discipline and re-tries p r isone r s as app e ll a t e with a jury of able editors; Sir Charles Wood, though he can govern, cannot defend his Government, or conciliate the governed ; Mr. Cowper is always trying to manage the only, job the House is deter mined to resist, the improvement of property in South Kensington, and as to Sir Robert - Peel, the Irish will • make his removal their first condition. The constituencies are weary of it all, yet it is with this dead weight upon his efforts that Mr. Glad stone is to face a House of Commons doubtful whether to worship or distrust. Who is to support him there ? He will be attacked every day of his life by debaters like Mr. Disraeli and Lord Cran bourne, men who can not only give wounds, but pour vitriol into the wounds they have made, and though himself more than a match for both, he can speak but once a n i g ht. F ace to f ace he is their master, but who is to prote c t hi s rear ? Si r Roun dell Palmer will have enough to do to neutralise Sir Hugh Cairns, Sir George Grey is no match for Lord Cranbourne, Sir Charles Wood simply exas perates an audience hungering for more light, and as to Mr. Cardwell, he is as useful as a 64-pounder in the field, irresistible if the enemy will only stand exactly within range. - None of the subor dinates promise to become great debaters, and the real work, the daily labour of reply and explanation, and retort, and all the minor duties of leadership will fall on a man who can perform them all, but who has the organisation of genius, and can when overworked grow harsh and fretful. His one difficulty will be exaggerated as if on purpose, and the result will be in all probability that inces sant collision with the House on little points which shake a Government more than a great defeat. Mr. Gladstone will not be injured by the irritation of individual members, but the Government will, and the necessity of the hour is not 'merely Mr. Glad stone, but Mr. Gladstone as a centre of a strong administration. To risk a failure in a House in which Liberals have an overwhelming majority in order to consult the amour propre of two or three individuals, is a mistake of which Earl Russell, of all men, ought not to be guilty. He has turned out his colleagues often enough when the resulting advantage was his own, and might show the same indifference to political convenance when the inte rest is that of his country and party. Rather than do it he will, it is believed, sacrifice the popular alliance which would have given his Ministry the strength and the meaning which the country at heart desires. THE SATURDAY REVIEW "ON TOM PAINS,—TOM Paineis one of those writers who have been, as it were, ' gibbeted by a not very remote posterity. Probably hardly any one opens his works ; no one takes the trouble to know much about his life ; he survives in the memory of men as a kind of disreputable ghost, who, having ignominiously failed in an assault, as hopeless as it was wicked, on all that men hold most sacred, does not deserve even that slight amount of respect which would be implied in calling him Thomas. He is, and always will be, Tom—the wretched uneducated plebeian who dared to attack Church and State. In our days, indeed, he is chiefly an awful example. The ribaldry of Voltaire, the polished sneer of Gibbon, and the coarse bru tality of Tom Paine, usually swing at one end of the see-saw, the other end of which supports Locke, Boyle, and Newton, weighted also with appropriate epithets. Paine, however, once attracted great attenti on , and was a real live monster whom it was thought creditable to kill. Lady Hester Stanhope, if we are not mistaken, says that her uncle Pitt used to speak of him as being both very able and perfectly consistent ; and he himself boasts, in the second part of the " Rights of Man," that between forty and fifty thousand copies of the first part had been sold in the United King dom. His works have therefore something of an historical interest, and it is worth the while of those who care for the history of past controversies to look • a little into them. Paine's reputation, such as it is, rests upon three performances—" Common Sense," published in 1776 ; the " Rights of Man," in two parts, published respectively in 1791 and 1792 ; and the "Age of Reason," in three parts, published in 1793, 1795, and 1807. Besides these, he published a variety of other pamphlets of much inferior interest, relating principally to the American politics of the day. llis most considerable perform ances by far are those which we have named. Perhaps the most characteristic passage in tho whole of his works, and certainly the one which throws the greatest light on their nature, is to be found in the first part of the " Age of Reason." That strange performance was written under the solemn sanction of imminent danger to life ; for Paine, whilst he was writing it, expected to be guil lotined, and he was actually arrested within six hours after its conclusion. Towards the end of it he gives an account of his life and of the growth of his opinions, and this enables us to understand clearly enough what sort of man he was. "My father," he says, " being of th e Q uaker profession, it was my good fortune to have an exceeding good moral education and a tolerable stock of useful learning." He was sent to a grammar-school at Thetford, but learnt no Latin, " because of the objection the Quakers have against the books in which that language is taught." He adds, " The natural bent of my mind was to science. I.had some turn, and I believe some talent, for poetry." He gives, by the way, a singular specimen of his s poetical gifts in a no t e to another part of the " Age of Reason," which contains an elaborate argument to prove that the Hebrew prophets wrote poetry. "To show that these writs ings are composed in poetical numbers, I will take ten syllables as they stand in the book, and make a line of the same number of syllables (heroic measure) that shall rhyme with the last word. It will then be seen that the composition of these books is poetical measure." He speaks of mathematics with the same awkwardness as of poetry :—" The scien tific principles that man employs to obtain the fore knowledge of an eclipse, or of anything else relating to the motion of the heavenly bodies, are containedled chiefly in that p ar t o f scielice which is le which,cal trigonometry, or the properties of atriagn heavenly bodies, when applied to the study of the li e d is called to _ i c s o ur c s a e ll i structiOn of figur es geometryometry ; ofed a a s s h tr ip on o o n m t y he ; m o , e h e e a n n, ap t p tion ; when applied to the construction is called when n a when applied to th e mea surement is called architecture ; pbpyliruedletoaltillhecocenns-ipatrsusCtlion of plans of edifices, surement of any portion of the surface of the earth, it is called land surveying. In fine, it is the soul of Paineunk n o com bined,v v• unknown." il science ; it is an eternal truth ; it co n t a i ns the ma th em atical demonstration of whi c h man speaks, and th t e his ex d te e n g t ree of of itsuses i s education childhood, a pro f ound aversion to Christianity as commonly understood. ith from his • early The Quaker doctrine of the Inner Light, and the Quaker contempt for external authority, whether in books or men, as being carnal ordinances, lay at the bottom of Paine's character, and led him by an easy transition to be a dogmatic Deist and Repub lican. He says himself :—" The religion that ap proaches the nearest of all others to true Deism in the moral and benign part thereof is that professed by the Quakers; but they have contracted themselves too much by leaving the works of God out of their system. Though freverence their philanthropy, I cannot help smiling at the conceit that, if the taste of a Quaker could have been consulted at the creation, what a silent and drab-coloured creation it would have been." Su.th was Paine; a vigorous, sturdy snob (the word must be excused, for it exactly describes feelings of the man), with a slight education, principally mathematical, with stong conscientious a narrow kind, and with a creed which led h im t o revolt against all established beliefs, and to cling , to his own views with all the vehemence of a dog matist. General Humphreys, late of the Confederate Army, who was elected Governor of Mississippi by a ma jority of 10,000 over the Union candidate, has r9ceived his pardon from the Fresident.l Arrival of the Queen at Windsor. Her Majesty the Queen, with their Royal High nesses Princesses Helena, Louise, and Beatrice, and Prince Leopold, attended by Lieutenant- General Grey, Major-General Seymour, the Marchioness of Ely, Lady A. Stanley, Dr. Jenner, and Messrs. Sahl and Buff left Balmoral yesterday (Saturday) afternoon at 20 minutes to 1 o'clock en route for Windsor. The royal party posted by road to the Aboyne-station of the Deeside Railway, in the midst of a heavy fall of snow, which gave a very wintry aspect to the country. At Aboyne, the nearest station to Balmoral, a special train of 13 carriages, provided by the directors of the London and North-Western Railway, under the charge of Mr. Mason, assistant-general manager, Mr. Neele, the out-door superintendent, and Mr. Bore, of the latter line, was placed ready for the reception of the Queen and royal family on their arrival at the ter minus. Her Majesty and the Princess Helena on reaching the station entered the royal saloon, placed as usual in the centre of the train. At the back of this was a double saloon, reserved for the use of Princess Louise, a governess, and the Marchioness of Ely and Lady Augusta Stanley ; Lieut.-Gen. Grey and Gen. Seymour, with Dr. Jenner and Mr. Sahl, occupied the saloon next to it. Prince Leopold and Mr. Buff were in the double saloon in front of the Queen's carriage, the single saloon before the former being occupied by Princess Beatrice and attendants. With the exception of a first-class, reserved for the railway officials, the other carriages were set apart for the use of the Queen's dressers, ladies' maids, pages, and men servants, while the Royal fourgon, &c., was placed on a truck at the rear of the special. The Royal train, accompanied by Messrs. Mason, Node, and Bore, left Aboyne at 2 30 p.m., on its way to the south. Aberdeen station, where the Scottish North-Eastern Railway commences, was reached at 3 32 ; the Bridge of Dun, 4 50, and Perth, 1221 miles, at 6 18 p.m. Here the first stoppage was made, 45 minutes being allowed for refreshments, and at 7 3 p.m. the journey was re sumed over the Caledonian line, the train reaching Greenhill at 8 19, Summit 9 56, and Carlisle, where the London and North-Western system commences, at 11 25, a total distance of 2731 miles having been run up to this point. Once more a stoppage was made, this time only for a quarter of an hour, in order that the Royal travellers might take some refreshments, and that the engines might bo changed. her Majesty left Carlisle at 11 40 p.m. the train passing over the London and North. Western Railway, and successively arriving a Kendal Junction at 1 3 a.m. this (Sunday) morn- ing, Boar's Head 2 34 a.m., and the Bushbury Junction of the Great Western Railway at 4 55 a.m. At Bushbury Mr. J. Grierson, the general manager, with Mr. Tyrrell, the superintendent of the line, Mr. Spagnoletti and Mr. Armstrong, o: the Great Western line, took charge of the Royal train, which passed Birmingham, 467 miles, a t 5 29 a.m., reaching Leamington at 6 6 and Oxford at 7 20, at both of which places short stoppages of fire minutes were made. The remainder of the journey was rather wet, the rain falling pretty steadily. Culham, Reading, Twyford, and Slough were next rapidly passed (the Royal train, throughout the journey of 5801 miles, keeping splendid time), and the special arrived at the Windsor terminus of the Great Western Railway exactly to the minute named on the time-table, 845 a.m. Rain was still falling when the Queen entered the station, from which the public were excluded, none but the officials peing present on the platform, though a few spectators, whose loyalty not even the drizzling wet could damp, clustered near the entrance, and were well rewarded for their patience by obtaining an excellent view of what was going on. A few minutes before the train reached Windsor the Royal carriages were despatched from the Castle mews to the station. Her Majesty stepped from the saloon as soon as the train paused, and, followed by the rest of the Royal family, was received on the platform by Lieut.-General Grey, General Seymour, Mr. J. Grierson, and Messrs. Neele, Tyrrell, Bcsant, and Matthews, and conducted through the private wait ing-room to the carriages, which in a few minutes with the rest of the cortege drove through the town and up the hill to the Castle, where the Que en arrived at 9 o'clock, the Royal Standard having been hoisted above the Round Tower as the special train passed over the Thames from the Bucks to the I3erks shore. Apparently her Majesty and the Princesses were in the best health. The Queen wore mourning, b u t their Royal Highnesses Princesses Helen a , Louise, and Beatrice, were attired in grey cl o th j ac k ets, dark dresses, and bonnets trimmed with blue. Her Majesty's journey was deferred from Friday to Sa turday, in consequence of the funeral of the Pre mier taking.place on the former day. The Queen and Royal family, it is understood, will reside at Windsor Castle for about six weeks, and then will pay a visit to Osborne in December. ~\. `~~
