NATCHEZ, MISSISSIPPI, JUNE 14. (Continued from the Times of July 12.) As we jog along in an easy rolling carriage drawn by a pair of stout horses, a number of white people meet us coming from the Catholic chapel of the parish, where they had been attending a ser vice for the repose of the soul of a lady much be loved in the neighbourhood. The black people are supposed to have very happy souls, or to be as ut terly lost as Mr. Shandy's homuncule was under certain circumstances, for I have failed to find that any such services are ever considered necessary in their case, although they may have been very good —or where it would be most desirable—very bad Catholics. My good young friend, clever, amiable, accomplished, who had a dark cloud of sorrow weighing down his young life that softened him to almost feminine tenderness, saw none of these things. He talked of foreign travel in days gone by—of Paris and poetry, of England and London hotels, of the great Carew, and of poor Alexis Soyer, of pictures, of politics—de omne acibili. The storm gathered overhead, and the rain fell in tor rents—the Mississippi flowed lifelessly by—not a boat on its broad surface. The road passed by plantations smaller and poorer than I have yet seen belonging to small planters, with only some 10 or 12 slaves, all told. The houses were poor and ragged. At last we reached Governor Manning's place, and drove to the overseer's—a large heavy eyed old man, who asked us into his house from out of the rain till the boat was ready—and the river did not look inviting—full of drift trees, swirls, and mighty eddies. In the plain room in which we sat there was a volume of " Spur geon's Sermons" and of Baxter's works. "This rain will do good to the corn," said the overseer. " The niggers had had sceerce nothin' to do leetly, as they 'eve clearied out the fields, pretty well." We drove down to a poor shed on the levee called the Ferry-house, attended by one stout young slave who was to row me over. Two flat-bottomed skiffs lay on the bank. The negro groped under the shed and pulled out a piece of wood like a large spatula, some four feet long, and a small round pole a little longer, " What are those ? quoth I, " Dem's oars, Massa," was my sable ferryman's brisk reply. " I'm very sure they are not ; if they were spliced they might make an oar between them." " Golly, and dat's the trute, Massa." " There, go and get oars, will you ?" While he was hunting about we entered the shed for shelter from the rain. We found " a solitary woman sitting" smoking a pipe by the ashes on the hearth, blear-eyed, low-browed, and morose —young as she was. She never said a word nor moved as we came in, sat and smoked, and looked through her gummy eyes at chickens about the size of sparrows, and at a cat not larger than a rat which ran about on the dirty floor. A little girl some four years of age, not overdressed—indeed, half-naked, "not to put too fine a point upon it," crawled out from under the bed, where she had hid on our approach. As she seemed incapable of appreciating the uses of a small piece of silver presented to her—having no pre cise ideas on coinage or toffy—her parent took the obolus in charge with unmistakeable decision ; but still she would not stir a step to aid our Charon, who now insisted on the " key ov de oar-house." The little thing sidled off and hunted it out from the top of the bedstead, and I was not sorry to quit the company of the silent woman in black. Charon pushed his skiff into the water—there was a good deal of rain in it—in shape a snuffer-dish some 10 feet long and a foot deep. I got in and the conscious waters immediately began vigorously spurting through the cotton wadding wherewith the craft was caulked. Had we gone out into the stream we should have had a swim for it, and they do say that the Mississippi is the most dangerous river for that healthful exercise in the known world. " Why! deuce take yon" (I said, at least that, in my wrath), " don't you see the boat is leaky ?" " See it now for true, Mama. Nobody able to tell dat till Massa get in tho'." Another skiff proved to be stanch. I bade good bye to my friend, and sat down in my boat, which was soon forced up along the stream close to the bank, in order to get a good start across to the other side. The view, from my lonely position, was curious,but not at all picturesque. The landscape had disappeared at once. The world was bounded on both sides by a high bank, and was con stituted by a broad river—just as if one were sail ing down an open sewer of enormous length and breadth. Above the bank rose, however, the tops of tall trees and the chimneys of sugar-houses. A row of a quarter of an hour brought us to the levee on the other side. I ascended the bank, and directly in front of me, across the road, appeared a carriage gateway and wickets of wood painted white in a line of park palings of the same material, which ex tended up and down the road as far as the eye could follow, and guarded widespread fields of maize and sugar-cane. An avenue of trees with branches close set, drooping and overarching a walk paved with red brick led to the house, the porch of which was just visible at the extremity of the lawn, with clus tering flowers, rose, jessamine, and creepers cling ing to the pillars supporting the verandah. The proprietor, who had espied my approach issued forth with a section of sable attendants in his rear, and gave me a hearty welcome. The house was larger and better than the residences even of the richest planters, though it was in need of some little repair, and had been built perhaps 50 years ago, but it had belonged to a wealthy family who lived in the good old Irish fashion, and who built well, ate well, drank well, and—finally, paid very well. The view from the Belvedere was one of the most striking of its kind in the world. If an English agriculturist could see 6,000 acres of the finest land in one field, unbroken by hedge or boundary, and covered with the most magnificent crops of tasselling Indian corn and sprouting sugar-cane, as level as a billiard-table, he would surely doubt his senses. But here is literally such a sight. Six thousand acres, better tilled than the finest patch in all the Lothians, green as Meath pastures, which can be cultivated for a hundred years to come with out requiring manure, of depth practically un limited, and yielding an average profit on what is sold off it of at least £2O an acre at the old prices and usual yield of sugar. Rising up in the midst, of the verdure are the white lines of the negro cot tages and the plantation offices and sugar-houses, which look like large public edifices in the distance. And who is the lord of all this fair domain ? The proprietor of Houmas and Orange-grove is a man, a self-made one, who has attained his apogee on the bright side of half a century, after 25 years of suc cessful busi ness . When my eyes " uncurtained the early morning" I might have imagined myself in the magic garden of Cherry and Fair Star, so incessant and multi farious were the carols of the birds, which were the only happy coloured people I saw in my Southern tour, notwithstanding the assurances of the many ingenious and candid gentlemen who attempted to prove to me that the palm of terrestrial felicity must be awarded to their negroes. As I stepped through my window upon the verandah a sharp chirp called my attention to a mucking -bird perched upon a rose bush beneath, whom my presence seemed to annoy to such a degree that I retreated behind my curtain, whence I observed her flight to a nest cunningly hid in a creeping rose trailed around a neighbouring column of the house, where she imparted a breakfast of sp i d er s and grasshop pers to her gaping and clamorous offspring. While I was admiring the motherly grace of this melodious flycatcher a servant brought coffee, and announced that the horses were ready and that I might have a three hours' ride before breakfast. At Houmas les i 02421 se suivent et se ressenablent, and an epitome of the first will serve as a type for all, with the ex ception of such variations in the kitchen and cellar produce as the ingenuity and exhaustless hospitality of my host were never tired of framing. If I regretted the absence of our English agricul turist when I beheld the 6,000 acres of cane and 1,600 of maize unfolded from the Belvedere the day previous, I longed for his presence still more when I saw those evidences of luxuriant fertility attained without the aid of phosphates or guano. The rich Mississippi bottoms need no manure, a rotation of maize with cane affords them the necessary recu perative action. The cane of last year's plant is left in stubble, and renews its growth this spring under the title of retoons. When the maize is in tassel, cow-peas are dropped between the rows, and when the lordly stalk, of which I measured many 12 and even 15 feet in height— bearing three and sometimes four ears—is topped to admit the ripening sun, tie pea vine twines itself around the trunk, with a profusion of leaf and tendril that supplies the planter with.the most desirable fodder for his mules in " rolling time," which is their season of trial Besides this, the corn blades are culled and cured. These are the best meals of the Southern racehorse, and constitute nutritious hay without dust. Tile cow-pea is said to strengthen the system of the for the digestion of a new crop of sugar-cane. A sufficient quantity of the cane of last season is reserved from the milk and laid in pits, where the ends of the stalks are carefully closed with earth until spring. After the ground has been ploughed into ridges these canes are laid in the endless tumuli, and not long after their interment a fresh sprout springs at each joint of these intermediate flutes. As we ride through the waggon roads, of kvhich here are not less than 30 miles in this Confedera- tion of four plantations, held together by the purse and the life of our host, the unwavering exactitude of the rows of cane, which rar, without deviation nt right angles with the river down to the cane-brake, two miles off, proves that the negro would be a for midable rival in a ploughing match. The cane has been "laid by"—that is, it requires no more labour —and will soon " lap," or close up, though the rows are seven feet apart. It feathers like a palm top ; a stalk which was cut measured six feet, although from the ridges it was but waist high. On dissect ing it near the root we find five nascent joints not a quarter of an inch apart. In a few weeks more these will shoot up like a spyglass pulled out to its focus. Corn, chickens, and eggs are from time imme morial the perquisities of the negro, who has the monopoly of the two last-named articles in all well ordered Louisiana plantations. Indeed, the white man cannot compete with them in raising poultry, and our host was evidently delighted when one of his negroes, who had brought a dozen Muscovy ducks to the mansion, refused to sell them to him except for cash. " But, Louis, won't you trust me ? Am I not good for three dels, ?" " Good enough, massa ; but dis nigger want de money to buy flour and coffee for him young family. Folks at Donald sonville will trust massa—won't trust nigger." The money was paid, and, as the negro left us, his master observed, with a sly, humorous twinkle, "That fellow sold 40 dole. worth of corn last year, and all of them feed their chickens with my corn, and sell their own." There are three overseers at Houmas, one of whom superintends the whole plantation, and likewise looks alter another estate of 8,000 acres, some 12 miles down the river, - which our host added to his posses sion two years since, at a cost of £150,000. In any part of the world, and in any calling, Mr. S— (I do not know if he would like to sec his name in print) would be considered an able man. Mr. S. attends to most of the practice requiring immediate attention. We visited one of these hospitals, and found half-a-dozen patients ill of fever, rheumatism, and indigestion, and apparently well cared for by a couple of stout nurses. The truckle bedsteads were garnished with mosquito bars, and I was told that the hospital is a favourite resort, which its in mates leave with reluctance. The pharmaceutical department was largely supplied with a variety of medicines, quinine and preparations of sulphites of " Poor drugs," said Mr. S—, " are a poor ron. economy." What is termed hacienda in Cuba, rancho in Mexico, and " plantation " elsewhere, is styled " habitation " by the Creoles of Louisiana, whose ancestors began more than a century ago to reclaim its jungles. At last "venit summa dies et ineluctabile tempus." I had seen as much as might be of the best phase of the great institution—less than I could desire of a most exemplary, kind-hearted, clear-headed, honest 'man. In the calm of a glorious summer evening, arrayed in all the splendour of scenery that belongs to dramas in Cloudland, where mountains of snow, peopled by " gorgons and hydras and chimaeras dire," riso from seas of fire that bear black barques freighted with thunder before the breeze of battle, we crossed the Father of Waters, waving an adieu to the good friend who stood on the shore, and turning ever back to the home we had left behind us. It was dark when the boat reached Donaldson ville on the opposite "coast." I should not be a Rouge, sur prised to hear that th e f oun d er o f thi s rem a r kable transferred e city, which once contai ne d th e arc hi ves o f th e State now economy was a N n o t r h t oh planßri ton. of the place not unfavourable to that view, but the mo ti v es which induced the D ona ld son t o f oun d hi s T hro i s a s i mpl i c i tyto Baton Rome on the west of Bayon La Fourche from Mis issippi must be a secret to all time. Much must the worthy Scot have been perplexed by his neighbours, a long-reaching colony of Spanish Creoles, who toil not and spin nothing but fishing-nets, and who live better than Solomon, and are probably as well dressed, minus the barbaric pearl and gold of the Hebrew potentate. Take the odd little, retiring, modest houses which grow in the hollows of Scar borough, add to them the least imposing mansions in the natural town of Folkestone, cast them broad sown over the surface of the Essex marshes, plant a few trees in front of them,then open a few " Cafe billards" of the camp sort along the main street, and you have done a very good Donaldsonville. A policeman welcomes us on landing and does the honours of the market, which has a beggarly ac count of empty benches, a Texan bull done into beef and a coffee-shop. The policeman is a tall, lean, west country man ; his story is simple, and he has it to tell. He was one of Dan Rice's com pany—a travelling Astley. He came to Donaldson ville, saw, and was conquerel by one of the Spanish beauties, married her, became tavern keeper, failed, learned French, and vas now constable of the parish. There was, however, a weight on his mind. He had studied the matter profoundly, but he was not near the bottom, How did the friends, relatives, and tribe of his w.fe live ? No one could say. They reared chickens, and they caught fish ; when there was a pressure on the planters, they turned out to work for 6s. 6d. a-day, but those were rare occasions. The policeman had become quite gray with excogitating the matter, and he had " nary notion of how they did it." Donaldson ville has done one fine thing. It has furnished two companies of soldiers—all Irishmen—to the wars, and a third is in the course of formation. Not much hedging, ditching, or hard work these times for Paady The blacksmith, a huge tower of muscle, claims exemption on the ground that " the divil a bit of him comes from Oireland ; he nivir hird av it, barrin' from the buks he rid," and is doing his best to remain behind, but popular opinion is against him. As the steamer would not be up till towards dawn, or later, it was a relief to saunter through Donaldsonville to see society, which consisted of several gentlemen and various Jews playing games unknown to Hoyle, in oaken bar rooms flanked by billiard tables. My good friend the doctor whom I had met at Houmas, who had crossed the river to see patients suffering from an attack of Eucre, took us round to a little club, where I was introduced to a number of gentlemen, who expressed great pleasure at seeing me, shook hands violently and walked away; and finally we melted:off into a cloud of mosquitoes by the river bank, in a box prepared for them, which was called a bedroom. These rooms were built in wood on the stage close to the river. " Why can't I have one of those rooms ?" asked I pointing to a larger mosquito box. "It's engaged by ladies." "How do you know ?—"Parceque elles ont envoyes leur butin." It was delicious to meet the French plunder for baggage —an old phrase so nicely rendered in the mouth of the Mississippi boatman. Having passed a night of exrreme discomfiture with the winged demons of the box, I was aroused towards dawn by the booming of the steam drum of the boat, dipped my head in water among drowned mosquitoes, and went forth upon the landing. The policeman had just arrived. His eagle eye lighted on a large flat, on the stern of which Was inscribed, "Pork, corn, butter, beef," &c. Several spry citi zens were also on the platform. After salutations and compliments, policeman speaks,—" When did she come in ?" (meaning flat). First Citizen—" In the night, I guess." Second Citizen—" There's a lot of whisky aboord, too." Policeman (with pleased surprise)—" You never mean , it ?" First Citizen— " Yes, Sir; 120 gallons." Policeman (inspired by a bright aspiration of patriotism)—" It's a west coun try boat; why don't the citizens seize it ? And whisky rising from 17c. to 35c. a gallon." Citizens murmiir approval, and I feel the whisky part of the cargo is not safe. "Yes, Sir," says Citizen Three, " they seize all our property at Cairey (Cairo), and I'm for making an example, of this cargo." Further reasons for the seizure of the article were adduced, and it is probable they were as strong as the whisky, which has no doubt been drunk long ago on the very purest principles. In course of conversation with the committee of taste which had assembled it was revealed to me that there was a strict watch kept over those boats which are freighted with whisky forbidden to the slaves, and , with when they come from the west country i equa y objectionable. "Did you hear, Sir, of the chap over at Duncan Renmer's as was caught the other day?" " No, Sir, what was it ?" " Well, Sir, he was a man that came here and went over among the niggers at Renmer's to buy their chickens from them. He was took up, and they found he'd a lot of money about him." " Well, of course, he had money to buy the chickens." " Yes, sir, but it looked suspicious. He was a West country fellow, tew, and he might have moant tamperin' with 'em. Lucky for him he was not taken in the arternoon." " Why so ?" " Because if the citizens had been drunk they'd have hung him on the spot." The Acadia was now alongside, and in the early morn ing Donaldsonville receded rapidly into trees and clouds. To bed, and to make amends for misquito visits. On awaking, find that lam in the same place I started from ; at least, the river looks just the same. It is difficult to believe that we have been going 11 miles an hour against the turbid river, which is of the same appearance as it was below — the same banks, bends, driftwood, and trees. Beyond the levees there were occasionally large clearings and plantations of corn and cane, of which the former predominated. The houses of the planters were not so large or so good as those on the lower banks. Large timber rafts, navigated by a couple of men, who stood in the shade of a few upright boards, were encountered at long intervals. The river was otherwise dead. White egrets and blue herons rose from the marshes where the banks had been bored through by crayfish, or crevasses had been formed by the waters. The fields were not much more lively, but at every landing the whites who came down were in some sort of uniform, and a few negroes were in attendance to take in or de liver goods. There were two blacks on board in irons—captured runaways—and very miserable they looked at the thought of being restored to the bosom of the patriarchal family from which they had, no doubt, so prodigally eloped. I fear the fatted calf-skin would not be applied to their backs. The river is about half a mile wide here and is up wards of 100 ft. deep. The planters'houses in groves of pecan and mangolias, with verandah and delve dere, became more frequent as the steamer ap proached Baton Rouge, already visible in the distance over a high bank or bluff on the right-hand side. Before noon the:steamer hauled alongside a sta tionary hulk, which once "walked the waters" by the aid of machinery, but which was now used as a floating hotel, depot, and storehouse-315ft. long, and fully 30ft. on the upper deck above the level of the river. Here were my quarters till the boat for Natchez should arrive. The proprietor was somewhat excited on my arrival because one of his servants was away. " Where have you been, you -- ?" " Away to by de newspaper, Massa." " For who, you -- ?" "Me buy 'em for no one, Massa ;me sell 'um agin, Massa. " See, now, you --, if ever you goes aboard to meddle with news papers I'm but I'll kill you, mind that !" Baton Rouge is the capital of the State of Louisiana, and the State House is a quaint and very new example of bad taste. The Deaf and Dumb Asylum near it is in a much better style. It was my intention to visit the State Prison and Penitentiary, but the day was too hot and the distance too great, and so I dined at the oddest little Creole restaurant, with the fun niest old hostess and the strangest company in the world. On returning to the boat hotel Mr. Conrad, one of the citizens of the place, and Mr. W, Avery, a judge of the Court, were good enough to call to invite me to visit them, but I was obliged to decline. The old gentlemen were both members of the Home Guard and drilled assiduously every evening. Of the 1,300 voters at Baton Rouge more than 750 are already off to the wars, and another company is being formed to follow them. Mr. Conrad has three sons in the field already. The waiter who served out drinks in the bar wore a uniform, and his musket lay in the corner among the brandy bottles. At night a patriotic meeting of citizen soldiery took place in the bow, in which song and whisky had much to do, so that deep sleep was difficult ; but at 7 o'clock on Wednesday morning the Mary T. came alongside, and soon afterwards bore me on to Natchez through scenery which became wilder and less cultivated as she got upwards. Of the 1,500 steamers on the river not a tithe are now in employ ment, and the owners are in a bad way. It was late at night when the steamer arrived at Natchez, and next morning early I took shelter in another engineless steamer which was thought to be an hotel by its owners. Old negress on board, how ever, said, " There was nothing for breakfast ; go to Curry's on shore." Walk up hill to Curry's—a barroom, a waiter, and flies. " Can I have any breakfast ?" " No, Sir-ree ; it's over half an hour ago." " Nothing to eat all ?" " No, sir." " Can I can get something anywhere else ?" " I guess not." It had been my belief that a man with money in his pocket could not starve in any country soi-disant civilized. Exeeptions prove rules, but they are disagreeable things. I chewed the cud of fancy faute de mieux, and became the centre of attraction to citizens, from whose conversation I learned that this was " Jeff. Davis's fast-day." Observed one, "It quite puts me in mind of Sunday ; all the stores closed." Said another, " We'll soon have Sunday every day, then, for I 'spect it won't be worth while for most shops to keep open any longer." Natchez, a place of much trade and cotton export in the sea son, is now as dull—let us say as Harwich without a regatta. But it is ultra-Secessionist, nil obstante. My hunger was assuaged by a friend who drove me up to his comfortable mansion through a country not unlike the wooded parts of Sussex, abounding in fine trees, and in the only lawns and park-like fields I have yet seen in America. In the evening after dinner my host drove me over to visit a small encampment under a wealthy planter, who has We were obliged to get out a narrow lane and walk towards the encampment on foot ; a sentry stopped us, and we observed that there was a sem blance of military method in the camp. The cap tain was walking up and down in the verandah of the poor, deserted hut for which he had abandoned his splendid home. A " Book of Tactics"(Hareie's) —which is, in part, a translation of the French "Manual"—lay on the table. Ou:: friend was full of fight, and said he would give all he had in the world to the cause. But the day before, and a party of horse, composed of 600 gentlemen in the district, with from £20,000 to £30,000 each, had started for the war in Virginia. Everything to be seen or heard testifies to the great zeal and resolu tion with which the South have entered upon the quarrel. But they hold the power of the United States and the loyalty of the North to the Union at far too cheap a rate. Next day was passed in a delightful drive through cottonfields, Indian corn, and undulating woodlands, amid which were some charming residences. I crossed the river at Nat chez, and saw one fine plantation in which the corn, however, was by no means so fine as I have seen. The cotton looks well, and some had already burst into flower—bloom, as it is called—which had turned to a flagrant pink, and seemed saucily con scious that its boll would play an important part in the world. In this part of Mississippi the Reces monist feeling was not so overpowering at firsts it has been since the majority declared itself, but the expression of feeling is now all one way. The rage of Southern sentiments is to me inexplicable, mak ing every allowance for Southern exaggeration. It is sudden, hot, and apparently causeless as summer lightning. From every-place I touched at along the Mississippi a large proportion of the popula tion has gone forth to fight, or is preparing to do so. The whippers which rise through the storm are feweddleeble. Soave there are who- sigh for the pOce pad -happine'ss they have :seen in .Eng land,;n7Atit they cannot , seek thoie things; they mustlook aftertheir property. Each man maddens his neighbour hy.desperate.resolves, and threats, and vows. .Their faith,is in Jefferson Davis's strength, and in the necessities and weakness of France and England. The inhabitants of the tracts which lie on the banks of the Mississippi, and on the inland regions hereabout, ought to be, in the natural order of things, a people almost nomadic, living by the chase and by a sparse agriculture, in the freedom which tempted their ancestors to leave Europe. But the Old World has been working for them. All its trials have been theirs; the fruits of its expe rience, its labours, its research, its discoveries, are theirs. Steam has enabled them to turn their rivers into highways, to open primoeval forests to the light of day and to man. All these, however, would have availed them little had not the demands of manufacture abroad, and the increasing luxury and population of the North and West at home, enabled them to find in these swamps and uplands sources of wealth richer and more certain than all the gold mines of the world. But there must be gnomes to work those mines. Slavery was an institution ready to their hands. In its development there lay every material means for securing the prosperity which Manchester opened to them, and in supplying their own countrymen with sugar. The small, struggling, deeply-mortgaged proprietors of swamp and forest set their negroes to work to raise levees, to cut down trees, to plant and sow. As the negro became valu able by his produce, the Irish emigrant took his place in the severer labours of the plantation, and ditched and dug, and cut into the waste land. Cot ton at 10 cents. a pound gave a nugget to every boll. Land could be had for a few dollars an acre. Negroes were cheap in proportion. Men who made a few thousand dollars invested them in more negroes and more land, and borrowed as much again for the same purpose. They waxed fat and rich—there seemed no bounds to their fortune. But threatening voices came from the North—the echoes of the sentiments of the civilised world repenting its evil pierced their ears, and they found their feet were of clay, and that they were nodding to their fall in the midst of their power. Ruin inevitable awaited them if they did not shut out these sounds and stop the fatal utterances. The issue is to them one of life and death. Whoever raises it hereafter, if it be not decided now, must expect to meet the deadly animosity which is dis played towards the North. The success of the South —if it can succeed—must lead to complications and results in other parts of the world for which neither it nor Europe is now prepared. Of one thing there can be no doubt,—a slave State cannot exist with out a slave trade. The poor whites who will have won the fight, will demand their share of the spoils. The land is abundant, and all that is wanted to give them fortunes is a supply of slaves. They will have that in spite of their masters, unless a stronger power prevents the accomplishment of their wishes. THE TRENTENARY BONDS. The Constitutionnel replies at some length to the objections brought forward by the Siecle against the trentenary bonds. The following is a portion of the reply :—" We have answered by anticipation many of the arguments of the Siecle. The points at issue are the competition which these bonds will cause to the 3 per Cent. rente, and the superiority of a perpetual loan over one repayable within a determinate delay. In the special case w hich now occupies our attention—the execution of extraor dinary public works—we persist in thinking that resources, also extraordinary, are the best of com binations. We are well aware that the issue of perpetual rente presents an advantage of a parti cular kind over the issue of bonds ; that is, to a ll o w of a speculation in which every one may take part, and which consists in selling rente for the account and purchasing the loan. That spe culation is not practicable with bonds which are a security for investment, and which almost abso lutely escape the operations of pure speculation. But this is not an objection which can be opposed to the State, and the Siecle itself certainly has not thought of making use of it. There remains there fore to be considered the injury which can be done to the perpetual rente by , bonds issued at the net rate of 432 fr. 77c., a price corresponding, after all profit has been deducted, to the 3 per Cents. at 64fr. 91c. ; the Siecle states that it is equivalent to the 3 per Cents. at 60fr. 05c., or the 5 per Cents. at par. The error of the Siecle is flagrant and absolute, and can only be ex plained by a carelessness which is deeply to be regretted in such a matter. The author of the article pretends that he has found this calculation in the Temps ; we have sought for it there, but in vain. The temps admits with the Minister of Finance, with us, and with the four rules of arithmetic, that the rate of 432 f. 77c. for bonds, exactly corresponds to the 3 per Cents. at 64f. 91c. Our contemporary perhaps wished to take into account the premium of reimbursement attributed to each bond, and which is 67f. 23c., payable in 28 years. We must be allowed to remind him of very simple and really primitive ideas in financial matters. What does this premium of reimbursement represent ? Nothing more than the surplus which the subscriber may hope for on his capital if he placed it in rente, and which it is just to give to him in return for a reimbursement at a fixed price. The loans of the year 1855 were issued at about n h t ed 64fr. or 65fr. ; and yet one year after the 3 per Cents. had reached 72fr. and gave to the subscri bersa profit of 7fr. or gfr., or the eighth p part their capital. In 1859 the loan was issuedas at 70fr , : fr Cen_ts., .but . with a 60fr. ; in four months after the p and the subscribers gained pe l . p e erp 3 etual rente. In reality, by the premium of 67fr. 23c. given n that th ry - avera gee was sta blis h e d , led to bonds, and it may be, therefore, see ey are little less advantage, t once the profit is limited, their capital.

The close agreement of these elements with the observed path of the comet up to this date proves that its period of revolution must be one of consi derable length, though any attempt to determine its duration at present - would be fruitless. Whether we shall ever ascertain it with any degree of cer tainty will depend upon the time the comet can be observed, and upon the amount of deviation from parabolic motion which the later observations may indicate. The small differences so far remarked between the true and calculated places of the nucleus are probably due to the earth's attraction upon it, which will have slightly affected its geo centric position from day to day, particularly in the early part of the month. The following ephemeris will represent the track of the comet during the ensuing fortnight, by the expiration of which time its increasing distance from us will most likely have carried it to the limit of naked eye vision AT GIMENWICII—MIDNIGHT.

Independently of a general prevalence of unfa-, vourable weather in the last days of June, the sudden appdarance of the comet in Europe is fully accounted for by the course it was then following among the stars. Its places calculated from the above orbit would be at midnight, on June 27, right ascension sh. 21m.; north declination, 15 deg. 8 min. ; on June 28, right ascension, sh. 40m. ; north declination, 25 deg. 13 min. ; on June 29, right as cension, 6h. 6m. ; north declination, 36 deg. 11 min. On the 27th it therefore set long before the sun; it rose after him on the 28th, and again set before him by three quarters of an hour or upwards is the latitude of London. On the morning of the 29th it would be above the horizon at daybreak, and might possibly have been discovered so far as its position was concerned, though clouds appear to have prevented its being detected until the evening of the same day, when it was remarked in several places a few degrees above the N.N.W. horizon. Since this date, on account of its increasing declina tion, it has never set, nor can it do so for at least a month from the present time. The circumstances attending the comet's appear ance at this return to perihelion are as favourable as possible for the exhibition of its brilliancy ; had the event occurred in December or January it would probably have passed through these parts of space unobserved from the earth. By measures taken here on the night of the 11th, the principal dimensions of the comet were as sub joined : Miles. Breadth of the cometic nebulosity at the nucleus 150,000 Depth from preceding edge to nucleus Diameter of the nucleus Length of the tail It is still a beautiful object in the telescope, the more condensed part shining with a pale yellow light, and the luminous sector thrown out towards the sun being yet discernible, though with a very indefinite outline. A bright streamer proceeded from the nucleus on the Bth inst., some distance up the tail, quite changing its previous aspect ; it has since faded away leaving the more usual dark or hollow appearance in the centre.. I am, Sir, your obedient servant, J. R. HIND. Mr. Bishop's Observatory, Regent's Park, Saturday. The following are the elements of the new comet, as calculated at Naples by the Director of the Ob servatory, M. Capocci. They differ in some respects from those of Mr. Hind : Passage through the perihelion, June, 4.719; longitude of perihelion, 231 deg. 46 min. 8 sec. ; longitude of ascending node, 278 deg. 53 min. 24 sec.; inclination of the orbit, 85 deg. 26 min. 30 sec. Perihelion distance, 0.71891. Motion, direct. M. Capocci adds that the above elements bear a certain analogy to those of the fine comets of 1684, 1742, 1807, and 1819; and that the differences existing between these and the present one may perhaps disappear when a helio centric arc shall have been obtained, of sufficient length to ensure the greatest precision in the cal culation of the orbit. M. Donati, of Florence, it will be remembered, has already adverted to the similarity of the orbits of this comet and that of 1807. THE KINGBWOOD MURDER. The public will be gratified to learn, whatever may be their opinions as to the innocence or other wise of Johann Karl Franz, at present under re mand on suspicion of being concerned in the mur der of Mrs. Halliday, at Kingswood Rectory, on the 10th ult., that he will not be left on his trial without legal assistance. It excited considerable surprise, and was a good deal commented on, that t t i h a e r y E n o v f o y E Saxony ax x o t n r y a o rd ha i d n r n y o a t nd p re Mini vo s u t s e l r y P e n n s t i p r u o e t e t e n d counsel on his behalf, because had he enjoyed the benefit of legal advice it is impossible that he would have been permitted to make the long and extraor dinary statement which he addressed to the bench at Reigate on Monday last. Professor Alsuser, of Guildford, addressed a letter on Thursday to his Excellency Count De Vitzthun on the subject, to which he yesterday received the following very satisfactory reply : " 3, Stratford-place, Cavendish-place, W., July 12, 1861. " Respected Sir,--The Royal Imperial Embassy . of Saxony has commissioned me to acknowledge the receipt of your communication of the 11th, and to thank you for the humanity which prompted you to proceed to the assist ance of the accused Johann Karl Franz. The embassy , was not enabled to undertake his defence until the declara tion of his nationality Was made apparent. To-day I have had a conversation with him in Horsemonger-lane Gaol, with the view of taking the necessary steps for his defence. Meantime, as he has no witnesses to call on his beha lf, his committal will be inevitable. So soon as this is deter mined on, I shall take care that he has a competent legal adviser to undertake his defence before the judge and jury. Should you possess any proofs of his innocence, you would confer a great favour on me if you would com municate the same to me at your earliest convenience: — Accept, &c., (Signed) " J. P.
