aOVERNMENT upon FIRST PRINCIPLES.
Illustrated Analogically, Statistically, and Morally.

By JOHN G "IiY'ROSSMITIE "
This work embodies a wide field for information, not only
upon Social and Moral subjects, but upon a great variety of
questions which are essentially incorporated with the politi-
cal discussions of the day, in connection with the Commerce,
Trade, and Taxation of the country. Statesmen and lovers
of intelligent progress will find in it a compilation of facts
well worthy their attention.

The angle from the sun's vertex of first contact
in each case may be assumed 100 degrees towards
the west, or right hand.

At the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, the times,
&c., will be as follows :—Begins, lh. 39m. 265.;
greatest eclipse, 2h. 49m. 16s. ; magnitude, 0.824 ;
ends, 3h. 54m. 12s.
The first contact will occur at 76 deg. from north
point towards the west, or at 102 deg. from the
vertex towards the west.

These numbers differ slightly from those pub-
lished in page 472 of the Nautical Almanac for 1860,
in consequence of the substitution of the tables of
Hansen and Leverrier for those of Burckhardt and
Carlini.

RAPRAEL'S APOLLO AND MARSYAS

IN ROME.

(FROM A CORRESPONDENT.)
ROME, JULY 1, 1860.
This famous painting has been in Rome some
days since, and here in this centre of Raphael's
works, here where the genius of the divine painter
may be contemplated in its every phase, it is re-
ceiving the culminating homage. Several of the
first connoisseurs have already visited it, and all
have departed amazed at this new page in the Sau-
zian work.

Professor Tommaso Minardi, long recognised
throughout Italy as the first judge of Raphael in
this country, and well-known throughout Europe,
declared at a glance, not only that " there could
not be a shadow of a doubt (non peter asservi
l'anibra diun dubio) as to its authenticity," but that
it stood conspicuous for its style, beauty, and sub-
ject among the works of Raphael. He much pre-
ferred it to the renowned " Vision of Ezekiel " (a
work of the same dimensions) in the Pitti Gallery
at Florence, and unreservedly endorsed all Mr.
Morris Moore's criticisms upon it, as regards merit,
date (1505-6), &c. In Mr. Morris Moore's visitors'
book he has inserted :

" Tommaso Profre. Minardi sorpreso, maravig-
liato quanto non puo esprienersi all' aspetto di in-
aspettata Opera del Divicio Artefice Raffaello,
Apolloe Marsia."

(Translation.)

" Professor Thomas Minardi surprised, amazed
beyond the power of expression at the sight of the
unexpected performance of the Divine Artificer
Raphael, Apollo and Marsyas."
