OUR OIL-oH!-As some doubts have

But to return to my conversation with
Prince Metternieh. He related to me several
anecdotes of singular cnses of insanity
which he had met with when visiting lunatic
asylums in company with Gall They once
saw two lovers in the same institution who
had become deranged in consequence of
sudden and cruel separation. They no
longer knew one another as objects of mu
tual affection, although they were constantly
raving to be united. When brought together
they acknowledged being acquainted, but
each said the other was not the beloved one.
Both were insane on this point. Poor crea-
turesl how different to the cherished image
of former days each may have become in the
others eyes.
The Prince mentioned, too, the case of
distinguished mathematician, whose derange-
ment consisted in his mistaking the number
8 for an 0 in all its calculations.
In speaking of periodical insanity and sui
cioe, the Prince told me that Gall considered
all suicides to be insane. He related the case
of tailor who had jumped into the Danube,
and when rescued had told how an angel ap
peared to- him and enticed him to spring
off the bridge. He had heard of several in
stances Of similar explanation of their con-
duct having been given by suicides before their
death. One was that of a woman who
climbed upon the roof of house and then
jumped off, She became collected before she
died and related how an angel had suddenly
appeared to her and enticed her upon the
roof. When there he hovered before her,
and so allured her that in attempting to reach
him she fell to the ground.
In cases of monomapia, the Prince consid-
cred it as strong evidence Of the Calls sys-
tem;.and in all cases of insanity he was con-
WINGED that the brain was either primarily or
indirectly affected by bodily disease.
He told me that il had been proved in Paris
that GAMBLING and politics were the nrinci-
pal causes of suicide. He added that man
minds became unhnged in consequence of
frequently attending the debates--a charac-
teristic idea of his highness.-F Frdzer's Mdgd-
zine ri. I'

WASHINGTON, April l9-The Tribune cor
respondence contains Mr.. Buchanan's cele-
brated letter Of July II, 1857 to Robert j.
Walker, then Governor of Kansas with re-
gard to the submission of the Lecompton
Constitution to the people of Kansas. Mr.
Buchanan says:
"You may judge with what satisfaction we
received an account of the proceedings of the
National Democratic Convention, held at Le-
compton on the Sd inst. The point on which
your own success depends is the submission
of the Constitution to the people of Kansas +;
and by the people mean, and have no doubt
you mean, the actual bona fds residents who
have been long enough in the. Territory to
identify themselves with its fate. On this
question of submitting the Constitution to
the bona Jide residents.of Kansas am will
ing to stand or fall. 1t is the principle of the
kansasN ebraska Bill, the principle of popu-
lar sovereignty, and the principle of the foun-
l.dation of all popular governments. The more
| it is discussed, the stronger it will become.
this principle, all will be settled harmoni-
| ously.n .-.
| In another portion of this letter. Mr. Bu-
chanan reiterates this doctrine, saying:
81 would advise you to make the great
principle of the submission of the Constitu-
ton to the bona fde residents of Kansas con-
spicuously prominent. On this you will be
irresistable-with the question of climate,
every person is acquainted, and the more you
insist upon that, the more will our opponents
urge that we are violating the principles of
non-interference at the foundation Of the
Kansas and Nebraska Bill"
The Senate to-day confirmed the appoint
ment of Frank E, Woolen as Secretary OF
State for Utah. The Committee on Elections
/ have reported in favor of Mr.. Howard against
Mr.. Cooper, the sitting member in the Mich
igan contested case. Messrs. Gartrell, Ste
venson and Royce unite in the minority re-
port. This completes the hundred days the
House has been in actual session. There is
no doubt from present indications that a
quorum will be present during next week.
As much, however, can not be said of the
Senate. Many of its members have left the
city. Nearly all the Republicans voted
against the Senate's amendment, appropri-
ating near one million dollars to enable the
President to call into service regiment of
Texas mounted volunteers. Messrs. Carter,
Curtiss, Junkin, Morris, of Penn. and
Schwartz voted with the Democrats and
Southern Opposition in its favor.

Wednesdays Tribune observes concerning
the New York Cattle market: l'
The market opened in gloomy weather,
with gloomy forebodings on the part of the
cattle brokers. The drovers and some spec
ulating owners of cattle lived upon hope
until the market was fairly open, and the
temper of the butchers tried, and then hope
fled, as it became evident that the market
would not prove equal to what it was a week
ago. There were 3,467 head of bullocks in
the sale-yards, or within hailing distance,
and few more may be expected in addition
to that number to-day making total for
this week market somewhat larger in num-
ber than last week, and on the average con-
siderably heavier. 1t is the general opinion
of cattle brokers that the opening day of the
market this week was not as good for own
ers by an average of half cent pound as
last week. Very few of the best bullocks
were sold at over 9]lc. net pound, and
many that went off at that were estimated
at extremely liberal weights for the buyer.
Our own opinion is, that the market this
week will prove about the hardest one for
drOvers that they have met with in the year
1860. There were good many cattle sold
yesterday, for the shrewdest of the statesmen
seemed disposed to push off their stock at
the best prices they could obtain. From the
indications, we believe that the report of the
market, which will be printed tomorrow,
will show fewer cattle sold at l0c. net a
pound than any report printed for years
