A feeling of general indignation will be excited at the intelligence that has been received that an attempt has been made upon the life of the Em peror O. ; A USTRIA. It appears that as the Emperor was stepping into his carriage, upon leaving the Bohemia Theatre on the evening of Saturday, that a man was seen t o point a pistol at him. Fortu tunately his intention was not fulfilled, for an English gentleman (Captain PALMER), who hap pened to be there,seized his raised hand, and thus, no doubt, preserved instantly great danger, if not from death his c MAJESTY from b a nded the man to the police, and it Captain PALM ER as discovered that the pistol was loaded with ball. 'lie was a journeyman tailor. It does not yet appear what induced him to perpetuate so atrocious an act. We ar e glad for pol itical reasons, as well as for th e sake of humanity, and the sympathy which one naturally feels for a Sovereign who has been in so much mis fortune, that this attempt has failed. At the pre sent time the Emperor FRANCIS JOSEPII could ill be spared from the councils of Vienna, and as the im mediate effect of his loss would certainly be to augment greatly the power and influence of Prussia, it is doubly important that be should be spared to keep together his scattered dominions, and to re construct, to the best of his ability his shattered empire. There is much to admire in the character deuce or propriety. The worst of it all is that there seems n 8 satis factory solution of the enigma, no way of escape to the much beset EMPEROR, and no safe or suc cessful path for his advisers to take. The full effect of the evils of mixed races is being now experienced by the hapless ruler of the Austrian Empire, and he seems likely to realise most completely the truth of the saying that " misfortunes never come single." Itmay turn out in the long run that, injurious as the Prussian policy has been, there has been a more dange rous enemy to the rule of the House of HAPSBURG to be found nearer home in the great disunion that prevails everywhere, a disunion which has risen to such a height that it will not admit of any compro mise so far as foreigners can judge, but seems to call upon the EMPEROR to take some decided stops one way or the other. The chief object of interest just now is the ap proaching marriage of the Princess DAGMAR. Additional attention is bestowed upon it in conse quence of the misfortune which attended her previ ous betrothal. Among the guests who will throng to the festivities at St. Petersburg there will be the Crown Prince of Prussia. We should have thought, under the circumstances of the case, that his absence would have been a greater compliment than his presence. The events of two years ago were sufficient in themselves to Royal Family o'rifeniriarrT r AT, T TAlNs v ilikt, th a direct personal insult has been put upon the Prin cess DAGMAR herself in the prohibition that has recently been received from the Berlin Government to the Danish Scbleswigers, to offer a present to the daughter of their former Sovereign on the occasion of her marriage. The Saxon Diet will assemble in the middle of next month, and affairs are rapidly progressing relative to the terms of the treaty being carried out. The King of SAXONY has issued a proclaination to the Saxon people, in which ho declares that he has witnessed the devotion of his subjects with great satisfaction, and that such a spectacle has sustained him in his heaviest misfor tunes. It had been said that it was the intention of King JOHN to abdicate, but the explanation given is that such was his first idea on hearing the unfavourable terms of peace, but that at the solici tations of the PRINCE ROYAL and the request of the Prince of PRUSSIA, he resolved to remain and conform himself to his altered circumstances to the utmost of his power. It is reported from New York that Mr. STANTON has asked to be relieved of his office, and to be ap pointed United States Minister at Madrid. It is further rumoured that General SHERMAN will as sume the vacant post. Whether this intelligence is authentic is not as yet certain, but it has been known for some time that changes were likely to occur in the Cabinet, and it has even been said that the PRESIDENT would ask Mr. STANTON to retire, as they could not agree upon the policy to be pur sued towards the South. In Mr. JOHNSON'S critical position, however, he may well have felt reluctant to offend an influential man like Mr. STANTON, although his removal from the Cabinet might have been desirable. If, as this rumour states, Mr. STANTON has himself expressed a wish to be trans ferred to Madrid, Mr. JOHNSON may think himself fortunate. General SHERMAN is not likely to join the anti-Southern faction. He was long a resident in the South, and even during the war he never ex pressed the animosity and vindictiveness that many Union leaders manifested so strongly. He is not personally popular in the ex-Confederacy, for it is impossible for the Southerners to forget that ter rible march which was the commencement of their downfall ; but, nevertheless, he will not be likely to refuse their just claims. Neither is it probable that, having seen so much of the negro, he will be anxious to raise him without preparation to the poli tical level of the white man. Should General SHERMAN therefore replace Mr. STANTON, his pre sence in the Cabinet will bring a considerable acces sion of strength to the PRESIDENT, while his repu tation will also have weight with the masses. There are still signs of disturbance in the poli tical horizon. The Radicals will evidently not be able to carry their point with respect to the Con stitutional Amendment without difficulty, since another State has refused to accept it. The Texan House of Representatives has followed the example of Mississippi, and rejected the amendment, while in Maryland there has been great political excite ment. The Governor has summoned the Police Com missioners to answer certain charges. The Northern Radicals are said to be organising in order to prevent the Governor from removing the Commissioners. So high does the feeling run that an armed collision is apprehend e d. Thi s i s th e difficulty in dealing with the Radicals. They are so bent upon main taining their political ascendancy that they entirely put aside the ordinary considerations of right and law, of reas on and constitutionalism, and uphold those whom they consider represent their party, regardless alike of their antecedents or the con sequences. IVENDELL PHILLIPS has been urging the impeach ment of the PRESIDENT, And his reraoYal kora office Emperor. It is remarked in reference to the plebiscitum in Venetia, that considering that the population of the whole of that province does not exceed two mil lion six hundred thousand persons, the proportion of voters in France, even on the most solemn oc casions, was never so considerable. It has seldom reached a quarter of the total population, whilst the Venetian plebiscitum exceeds that number. The Siecle, after stating that notwithstanding the contradiction of the report it learns that the acces sion of M. Beust to the Ministry is an accomplished fact, proceeds to say— " The former Minister of the King of Saxony, the inveterate enemy of Prussia, will direct the foreign policy of the Austrian empire. The im pression produced by this appointment is generally unfavourable. It is considered as an indication of an afterthought on the part of Austria. In that case the Government of the Emperor Francis Joseph cannot resolve to submit to the new charac ter which events have dictated to it. It is feared that it has the idea that pease is but a truce, a time of respite to enable it to recommence the war under more favourable conditions. Its exclusion from that 11Ote#eii," lligy'VeßMl l rivla h e v itt what measures the new Minister of Foreign Affairs of Austria shall propose before a definitive opinion be formed of his appointment." A strike among the miners of Denain, in the north, has led to some disorders, but troops have been sent to the spot to repress them. A man of 22, named Anastasio Baquero Sanz, has been executed at Madrid, by strangulation. The circumstances of the case are peculiar, and the execution attracted an immense mass of people. Sanz was arrested after the insurrection in June last on the charge of being concerned in it. The gen darme who arrested him behaved with great bru tality, and the prisoner vowed vengeance against him. While in prison he meditated revenge. The Council of War, after examining into his case, de- cided that there was no proof against him, and last week he was set at liberty. He left the prison with a friend, who was also acquitted, and as they went along the latter advised him to go home to his family. " I mean to do so," said Sanz," but I must first kill a gendarme." As ill luck would have it, the very first gendarme whom they met was the gen darme who bad arrested him. With an air of indifference, Sanz placed himself before the door of a house, and as the gendarme passed he drew from under his cloak a sharp knife, with which he had prepared himself after leaving the prison, and stabbed him near the heart. The gendarme was seriously but not mortally wounded, and he is still alive. Sanz was arrested and at once tried by a Council of War. Within an hour he was condemned to death and immediately executed. There was a curious incident afterwards,which I believe is always usual in cases of execution by order of the military tribunals. As soon as the executioner had fulfilled his melancholy task, he was surrounded by gen darmes, who handcuffed him and took him to prison. A few hours afterwards an officer, or escribano (official writer), and an alguazil, went to his cell, when the following dialogue took place :—" You are accused of having killed a man," said the escri bano. " Yes, it is the truth," replied the execu tioner. " Why did you commit this murder ?" "In obedience to the law and to fulfil the order confided to me by justice," replied the executioner. A docu ment embodying this conversation was immediately drawn up and signed by the executioner, and the next day it was examined by a judge. The judge immediately pronounced a sentence of acquittal in favour of the executioner, who was set at liberty after having been treated as a criminal during 24 hours. An extensive system of fraud committed by the jewellers of Marseilles has been discovered, and has excited great sensation in that city, because it is be lieved that it has been carried on for 20 years. They have contrived to procure or fabricate the Machine by which a control of gold similar to the Hall mark in England is given by the authorities, and thus very inferior gold is made to pass for standard gold. Numerous arrests have been made, and among them the heads of houses in the jewellery trade, who were considered among the most wealthy and respectable of the city. Alarm has spread among families, be cause they find their trinkets, which they consi dered very valuable, are plated, spurious, or almost worthless. A very useful association has been founded under the auspices of some of the most wealthy and in fluential ladies of Paris, "La Corporation des Abeil- les"—the Society of Bees. The object is to procure employment for respectable women in making fancy articles, embroidery, and other similar frivolities of dress or of the toilet. The association will not only procure employment for women who desire it, but there will be a central establishment where the articles will find a ready and advantageous sale, and thus the workwomen will be enabled to dispense with the objectionable process of having to seek purchasers for the fruit of their labours. By a curious chance the lady who has been chiefly instru mental in organising this Society of Bees is a Madame Bourdon. The humming of a bee is in French described by the word bourdon. The Prin cess Marat is one of the ladies of the committee. The grand vestibule of honour of the Palace of the Exposition, facing the Pont de Jena, is in pro. cess of completion. The height will be considerable. The width will be 25 metres. All the other circular and transversal avenues are only five metres wide, CLEMENCY OF THE KING OF PRUSSIA .—The Carlsruhe Gazette publishes the text of the decision accord ing pardon to Oscar Becker, the student who had attempted to kill the King of Prussia, and was for that offence con demned to 20 years' imprisonment. The condition for the remission of the putishment is that he shall not reside on German territory. The King of Prussia himself, it appears, had asked for this indulgence, having been moved by a petition sent in by an uncle of the prisoner, M. Webea, Protestant clergyman at Hosterwitz. The family asked for the young man's liberation, promising that he should go and live in America. The Grand Duke's decision is less severe, since it merely interdicts Becker taking up his resi dence in Germany. THE TRADE OUTRAGE AT SHEFFIELD.—At a meeting of the Saeffield Town Council yesterday the recent trades' anion outrage in New Hertford.-street came under discussicn, and it was proposed that a deputa tion, consisting of de Mayor and Alderman Brown (Mas ter Cutler), Alderman Jackson (President of the Chamber of Commerce), Alderman Vickers, and Councillor Baden, should be appointed as a deputation to wait on the Home Secretary to confer with him as to the necessity of granting a commission to inquire into the attempt recently made to blow up the house of William Fearneyhough, in Sheffield. In the course of a brief discussion the proposition met with nearly the unanimous approbation of the council, bat a general reluctance 'was expressed to fix the guilt of this outrage upon the trades' unions, although several speakers hinted that it was well known what everybody's opinion was. The impression seemed to be that Government should appoint a special commission with power to summon wit nesses before them, to examine upon oath, and to give in demnities to persons who might make statements incul pating themselves. Tho issuing of such a commission would carried, and the deputation wilrseek an interview with the Home Secretary as soon as possible. NOVEL MODE OF COMMITTING SUICIDE.--The following extraordinary account of a determined attempt at suicide is gravely related by the Epoca of Ma drid ; but as neither the name of the party nor the locality is mentioned, we must suppose that the whole statement is intended as a piece of pleasantry:--" Tho individual in question being tired of his life resolved to take such mea sures as must infallibly ensure his death. To that end he started for the sea shore provided with a ladder, a rope, a loaded pistol, a bottle of poison, and a box of matches. Having some time before discovered a post standing a little way out in the water he fixed his ladder against it, and ascending fastened one end of the cord to the top and passed a slip note round his neck, swallowed the poison, and, striking a light set fire to his clothes, then placing the pistol to his ear kicked away the ladder, but in so doing his hand swerved, and as ho fired at the same moment the bullet, instead of penetrating his brain, divided the rope, and he fell into the sea, extinguishing his burning gar ments; also a quantity of salt water ho swallowed caused him to throw up the poison he had taken, so that he scram bled on the shore, convinced that his time had not yet arrived." ......••••••011.0•••••••••••1.111••••••••••••••li THEATRE ROYAL DRURY-LANE.

Something more than the mere form of congratulation which custom dictates at such a time is here due, and amid the felicitations that he will receive from Courts and Cabinets will be mingled some real and true rejoic pend ing his trial. This is to be the chief part of the 'Radical programme for the coming session, and is likely to increase the present disturbed and tur bu.lent condition of affairs in the States. Another element likely to be troublesome is Fonianism, and England and America will have to exercise great caution to prevent these mischievous conspirators from involving them in difficulties. It is said that influential persons are pressing the Go vernment to make a formal demand upon the British Government for a settlement of the Alabama claims. We should hope that the Administration of the United States will have too much good sense to attempt anything so preposterous. At a Fenian meeting lately held at Roches ter it was resolved to adopt retaliatory measures if the Fenians in Canada were punished. It is surprising how busy their illustrious brethren continue to make themselves ; and while they receive such actual encouragement and sup port from the American people, if not from the American Government, our transatlantic cousins can scarcely, in common fairness, talk about Eng lish sympathy with the South. There is one very satisfactory item in the it telligence, and it is a fact which bears an especial significance to wise men on this side of the Atlan tic. The annual report of Secretary MiCuLLocn will, it is said, show a surplus of revenue over expenditure of $38,000,000. So much for the dire ful prophecies which many in this country uttered respecting American paper currency. iAgs that he has not fallen prematurely by the hands of an assassin. The description which had already been given I of the EMPEROR'S reception in Prague may perhaps have prepared more people for a heartier demonstration being made, but hardly for such extremities as those we have chronicled. Perhaps this episode in the EmrEiton's career is more powerful than any that has preceded it, how ever startling or terrible it may have been. There is something very mean and contemptible in turn ing round upon one who has failed in his efforts or fallen from his position, whether he be a private individual or the occupant of a throne, and the Bohemians will do themselves no credit in the eyes of Europe by such unworthy demonstrations. The appointment of Baron von BEUST is no doubt a very great source of annoyance to the subjects of the EMPEROR, and has perhaps mainly contributed at the last to the very unfavourable reception he has met with in Prague, leading on by gradual means to the dark design we have become acquainted with. At any rate those who are the most favourably dis posed towards the Imperial cause, and most inclined to take a sanguine view of his fortunes, must con fess that the prospects of the EMPEROR are very bad, and that his path is environed by difficulties which seem to be almost insuperable. At the pre sent time a more unwise thing could not have been done than to select him for so responsible a post:as that of Foreign Minister. It is sure to make con fusion worse confounded, and to exasperate those who were already doubtful, while it influences and irritates the disaffected beyond the bounds of pru- -- --+- SUN, LONLON, TUESDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 30, 1866. The first establishments which will meet the eye on entering the Champ de Mars by the Pont de Jena, will be those devoted to photography, both on the right and left. The reserved garden in the centre of the Palace will be 166 metres long, and 56 metres wide. All round it, against the wall of the Gallery of Fine Arts, will be a covered promenade, sup ported by handsome columns. A great many packages containing various beautiful products have arrived in France from Russia. Two important improvements are to be introduced into the telegraphic system in Paris. The first is a reduction in the price for the transmission of mes sages in the interior of France. The second will be to carry the wires underground instead of their being supported by posts as at present. The isolation is often lost now, in wet weather for instance, but the subterranean wires will insure regularity. The latter change will entail great expense and cannot be carried into effect at present. ASTLEY'S THEATRE. The winter season, under the management of Mr. H. C. Nation, commenced most auspiciously on Saturday evening last, on which occasion a very large audience assisted to encourage the new lessee in his undertaking. Mr. Nation has secured the services of a very excellent company, and has also secured novelties by authors of acknowledged merit, of which report speaks very highly. The pieces selected for the opening night were the eminently successful drama founded on Mr. Charles Dickens's novel, "Our Mutual Friend," entitled the " Golden Dustman," which, on its first representation at Sadler's Wells last season, met with the most unbounded applause. The only alteration of importance from the original cast was in the character of Boffins, which was first repre sented by Mr. Belmore, but Mr. Atkins on Satur day sustained the part with the greatest excellence. The remaining characters were sustained by Miss Brecknell, Miss Nelly Nisbctt, Miss Nelly Burton, Messrs. W. T. Richardson, Branch, Walter Joyce, T. C. Harrii, Wrench, W. Arthur, Smithson, Craig, and W. Harris. The concluding piece was the burlesque of " Atalanta ; or, the Three Golden Apples." The character of Narcissus was entrusted to Miss Made line Percy ; and Miss Polly Marshall, as Atalanta, sustained her part with great spirit. Mr. Nation, we hear, is determined to carry on his campaign with spirit and energy, and therefore it will be but his desert if he meets with the most unequivocal success. (REUTER'S TELEGRAMS.)

On the evening of the day before yesterday a man, since discovered to be a journeyman tailor, was arrested in Prague upon strong suspicion of intent to assassinate the Emperor Francis Joseph. At the moment when the Emperor, who had just left the Bohemian Theatre, was stepping into his carriage on the evening in question, this man was seen to point a pistol at his Majesty. The act was observed by Captain Palmer, an English gentleman, who instantly seized the man's uplifted hand and prevented the accomplishment of his probable de sign. Immediately afterwards Captain Palmer handed the man over to the police. The pistol was found to be loaded with ball. THE BOMBAY MAIL. SUEZ, Oct. 29.

Three and a half yards cast of the centre a second burnt body was found, also burnt on the spot, and with very few bones remaining. One yard and a half east of the last a third burnt body was found, more bones remain - ing, but still very few, and those of an older person. This was also burnt on the spot. Three yards south-east of centre, and one foot above surface, an urn was found lying on the side, the mouth to the east, and beneath it an " incense cup" of 2in. in diameter, and liin. high, the pottery quite plain. The urn has a rim with horizontal workings of impressed thong, and below the rim the urn has a line or v inarmang6, inn urn lb high, and with it was the least possible trace of burnt bone—microscopic, in fact—the body having been almost completely burnt on the spot. Two yards east of centre, lift. above the natural surface, was another burnt body, and upon the bones, or a little among them, was an urn, standing upright, sin. high, with [overhanging rim and ornamented with punctured holes; the surface of the urn was too much decayed to make out the pattern. In this case the body was burnt on the spot. A change occurred two yards east north-east of centre, where a burnt body was found on the surface of the ground, but not burnt on the spot. At the centre, but lift. above surface, an urn was found reversed over a burnt body, which had been nearly burnt up on the spot, very few traces of bone remaining. This urn was sin. high, ornamented with five lines of vertical markings, forming perpendicular zigzag impressions, and was a perfect miniature of a cinerary urn, beautifully made and quite perfect. The line mark ing had been made by a sharp pointed instrument of wood or bone. No flint was met with in the material of this barrow. The third barrow opened was 14 yards in diameter and 2ft. high. In the centre was an urn upright, standing upon burnt bones. This urn was after wards found to be standing on a second urn, which was laid on its side, the mouth to the west, and de posited also among burnt bones. Both urns were Sin. high, and with overhanging rims, but quite plain. The bodies had been burnt on the spot. The fourth barrow was 19 yards in diameter and 4ift. high. In the centre, 3ift. above the plane, a body, burnt on the spot, NI , as found, and in some places the bones remained only just charred, as re gards the curvical vertebra, very slightly so. Large quantities of charcoal lay underneath the bones, which lay in the position in which they had been placed before being subjected to the fire. This was a remarkable discovery—the body, half charred, lay on its right side, and was doubled up with the knees to the chin, and with the head to the south-west. At the head was placed an urn 7in. high, with over hanging rim, and ornamented with horizontal and perpendicular line markings, arranged to form squares, the squares forming lines round the urn. The body in this case was placed in a hole of 3ft. diameter, a cist sunk into the ground, and around it was a great redness and much sign of burning. Here was a connecting link between the inhumation and cremation customs, showing that the method of burial uniformly adopted in the former was also that in use in the latter, prior to the application of the fire ; in fact, the latter people prepared their body for burning just as the early people deposited theirs in the ground, in the customary doubled up or con tracted position. In the houe, also, were found a flint score, from which implements had been struck, and a quartz pebble, which had been used as a pounder or hammer, all broken round the edges for use, a counterpart of the one found behind the head of an unburnt body in one of the Weaverthorpe barrows. The fifth houe was 19 yards in diameter and 2ft. high. In the centre was a cist 4ft. deep, and 10ft. by Bft. measurements, formed east and west. At the bottom was a contracted and unburnt body laid on the left side, with head to south-east, and close to the south side of cist. Above the body were great masses of charcoal—large blocks of it, in fact. The body had as nearly as possible gone to decay. Parts of another skull—the parietal and occipital portions were found about a foot above the other body, but no other bones were with them. Was there here a displacement of one body to inter another ? There were no signs of such, and the archaeologists present could not determine, and there is no satisfactory conclusion arrived at respect ing the pieces of the second skull. The sixth and last barrow opened of this serie s was a return to the cremation type. The houe was 23 yards diameter, and lift. high. In the centre was a cist, aft. deep by 2ft. Sin. diameter, evidently made before the body was burnt, the burnt bones chiefly remaining on the place of cremation. Char coal was in the hole, and some few bones were in it and above it, the burning about being extremely large. Several large lints were placed over the in terment. These openings were on the southern slopes of the held by all classes throughout the county. Dt. The marriage of the Hon. Miss Keane wit h 0•... to grey wt st. Hanover-square.

AT iss CORRESPONDENCE FROM PARIS. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS, Monday Evening. The Government has received news officially of the proclamation with solemnity of the result of the plebiscitum for the union of Venice to the kingdom of Italy on Saturday. There were at Venice 651,758 votes for the union, and only 69 against it. The Moniteur announces that, according to the last news from the Caucasus, tranquillity had been completely established, and that the last band of insurgents had been disarmed. Addresses have been received by the Emperor from various Municipal Councils, and a great num ber of communes which had been visited, by order of his Majesty, by Generals de Failly, de Waubert de Genies and Faye, conveying the thanks of the victims of the inundations who had participated in the assistance distributed in the Emperor's name by those Generals, and expressing sentiments of the deep gratitude with which the whole population had received the mission confided to them by the THE NEXT BUDGET.—The Sunday Gazette says " It is not difficult to assume that at the meetings of the Cabinet, which commence next Wednesday, the very earliest question to be considered will be one having an important influence on the next Budget. In au adminis trative sense its immediate settlement is imperative, while, as regards its effect upon Ministerial interests next session, it will probably be no less important than even the great question of reform. We allude to the dimensions of the two great departments of expenditure—the army and navy. We have only to look to the Recruiting Commission, and the scarcely doubtful fact that some additional pay must be recommended by it as a means of filling the ranks, and to the proceedings in connection with the arming of our troops with breech loaders, in order to come to the conclusion that General Peel will ask his colleagues for increased es timates, while it is clear from Sir John Pakington's own language that he cannot bring the navy to the condition in which he contends it ought to bo without an expenditure beyond the ordinary rate. However consistent the Chancellor of the Exchequer may be to his objection to " bloated armaments," however anxious he may be to produce a satisfactory budget, and have some thing to give away, even though he disappoint friends who cry out so loudly against the malt tax, there are some improvements which it will be impossible for him to resist, and which, if carried out, must be paid for. On the other hand, although the revenue returns are marvel lously good, they are good only in the sense of not show ing as largo a falling of as was anticipated, in consequence of Mr. Gladstone's great remissions. By the time that Mr. Disraeli comes to provide for the service of the year the full effect of these remisions will have been felt ; and if we bear in mind that they involve a reduction of more than £5,500,000 in two years, and look to the probably unfavour able influence of the harvest upon the excise and other returns, we can only say that, without an increased expen diture, Mr. Disraeli would not do badly to provide for the year 1867-8, and keep s few hundred thousands as a balance out of our present rate of taxation. We speak somewhat upon a rough guess, but still we are convinced not far from the mark, when we say that if the plans now before the Government are carried out, the increased charges for the army will not be very much under a million. Those for the navy must also bo considerable. Under these circum stances, ono of the first things which the Cabinet will have to consider will be the character of the next Budget. Tho efficiency which they cannot neglect is incompatible with the retrenchment with which they would like to identify themselves, and the reconcilement of the two objects is not the least difficult of the formidable questions to which they must address themselves now that they aro about to enter in earnest upon the business of Government. ARRIVAL& AT THE ZOOLOGICAL GARDENS. — In the monkey-house several specimens, including another pair of spider-monkeys, of which there are now six of three different species ; and also one of that curious-looking animal which has come to be known as the "jew-monkey." This little fellow has a frizzled crop of hair on the scalp, and a most respectable black frizzled beard, which imparts a ludicrous physiognomy. It is a timid, gentle creature, prone to be affectionate to those who tend it, but is much less energetic and intelligent than the cebi or "ring-tails," and it belongs to the group of South American monkeys with nonprehensile tails, though constituting,with others, a very distinct genus of that series, of more quiet de meanour than the little petulant marmozets and others with which most visitors to the gardens aro familiar. A pair of small pardino cats, also from South America ; and two more Arctic foxes, making eight in all. It is only when a number aro kept together that the Arctic fox seems to thrive in captivity. The cats are to be seen in the house for small quadrupeds, and are associated in the same cage with a remarkable pretty genet from Western Africa.—Lanl and Water.

The Northern Radicals are said to be organising to pre vent the Governor from removing the commissioners. Considerable political excitement prevails, and an armed collision is apprehended between the con tending parties. The Texan House of Representatives have re jected the constitutional amendment. Mr. Wendell Phillips has made a speech urging the impeachment of President Johnson, and his re moval from office pending his trial. Secretary M'Culloch's annual report will, it is stated, show a surplus of revenue over expenditure of $38,000,000. Influential persons are pressing the Administra tion to make a formal demand upon the British Government for a settlement of the Alabama claims. It is reported that the Federal Government is about to adopt a more active policy in Mexican affairs.

THE LIBEL ON THE QUEEN. —We should have thought that enough had been said on this subject, but as some people who ought to know batter aro not satisfied we insert the following :—" That in the case of the libel re specting the private life of the Queen further steps had been rendered unnecessary, the Editor of the Gazette de Lausanne having caused a paragraph to be inserted in a subsequent number recognising its falsehood, and express ing regret that it had found a placo in its columns." — Tinto, The Tumuli of the Yorkshire Wolds. The third week of the scientific examinations of she British barrows in Yorkshire has been spent by he Rev. Wm. Greenwell, of Durham, and with him Capt. Egerton, of Londesborough, Dr. Neis, Rev. F. Simmons, rector of Dalton, Rev. Canon Mus grave, rector of Etton, and others, on the Goodman ham Wolds, near Enthorpe, on the estates of Lord Londesborough. The removal from Weaverthorpe proved to be one from a district where inhumation had been the regular custom to one exclusively of cremation. A group of barrows of various sizes were opened, varying from 12 to 40 yards in diameter, and from lift. to Eft. high, all being more or less ploughed down. They were situate on rising and sloping ground in one of the smaller wold valleys, and probably the whole group of burial mounds num ber about 30. Of these some were opened in 1809, and many others at different times since. All are made of soil, mixed with flint and chalk, and some- times very large pieces or blocks of flint. The results of the openings showed that nearly all the bodies were burnt, and that the burnings had been made on the spot, an unusual circumstance only previously found in ,he examination of the small tumuli at Castle Howard. One barrow, however, revealed a highly important feature. Barrow No. 4 showed that the body was placed before burning in precisely the same position as the non-cremation people placed their bodies in the ground. The burnings had been very imperfect and the body was but charred, the bones showing the doubled-up position admirably. This seemed a remarkable and important discovery, showing that the custom of contracting the body for burial as adopted by the supposed aborigines was continued by the later race, who burnt the body and collected the fragments. The pottery found during the week was also remarkable. Several urns were found ac- companying the burnt burials, but none of them con tained burnt bones, and with one exception were miniature cinerary urns, and not like those which accompany but do not contain burnt bodies. There was also a singular absence of flint implements, both with the bodies and in the material of the houes, and what was further remarkable the searchings made in the adjoining fields showed that flint chippings and implements were particularly scarce in the sur- face soil. The researches, however, were on the whole of a peculiar nature and of great interest. The barrow first opened was 16 yards in diameter, and 4ft. high. Four and a half yards east of centre, and a little above natural surface, an urn was met with, measuring Bin. in height, the rim overhanging and ornamented with punctured markings in the clay, arranged in squares of nine impressions. This urn was empty and upright, and about Ift. west of it a second urn, also upright, was found, the pottery being quite plain, but the rim overhanging. Th e bottom of this second urn was on a level with the top of the first. Both urns were surrounded with burnt earth, mixed sparingly with charcoal, and both were p taced amid singularly scanty remains of burnt bodies, of which the first was of a young per son, and the second much y ounger—a mere child. The centre of the hone yielded nothing—the bodies having been burnt and interred on the same places. Two chippings of foreign flint and one long scraper (" thumb flint"), very like the type of the one found with the red urn in the Ganton barrows, were the only implements found in the barrow. The second barrow was of 12 yards diameter and 2ft. high. Five yards east-south-east of centre, on the plane, a burnt body was found, quite like those of the first barrow, and also burnt on the spot. wolds, in which district the burials seem to have been more frequently burnt than. otherwise, only one instance of inhumanity pure and simple occurr ing. The party, with the Rev. W. Greenwell at the fore, have returned to the Weaverthorpe welds, where, as stated in the last re p or t, the craniologic features of the inquiry are most abundantly met with. The ope n i ngs , f or th e presen t y e ar at least , are expected to be com pl e t e d d ur i ng th e next eight or ten days. ta '7-144179k • k n tklitriikitliro 11.."
