ihE LOW Of 6OLD TO THE UNITED STATES
The London Review, commenting ON the
continued eflux of gold from England to this
country; admits that it has continued on a
larger scale than was looked for, but pronoun-
ces the sum drawn off as yet inconsiderable.-
1t says:
AFTER the enormous receipts from that
country, month or two back, it is not much
to have to return some two hundred thousa nd
or three hundred thousand pounds in two or
three successive weeks. The most satisfac-
tory feature in the movement is the confidence
1t shows in the permanence of peace i'm Amer
lea, and that, as far as investors are concerned.
the renewal of the civil war is considered in
the highest degree remote. As we have already
nad occasion to observe, this belief is not only
ieit by Englishmen and Germans but has lat
terly been shared by Frenchmen. The FIVE

GRAND MErEoRIC SHowER.-Iti is fact prob
ably well known to most of our readers that
there are two periods in every year which are
marked by the regular recurrence of meteoric
showers. The first of these occurs in August,
from the 10th to the 18th; the second from the
18th to the 18th of November At intervals,
however, of something over thirty years these
displays of celestial fireworks have been OBJ
served to be on scale of greatly increased
magnificence. In November of the year 1888
occurred the last of these grand meteoric
storms. On that occasion from two o'clock till
broad daylight, the sky being perfectly serene
and clOudless the whole heavens were lighted
with the incessant flash and blaze Of the shoot
ing meteors. Arago computes that not less
than two hundred and forty thousand meteors
were visible above the horizon of Boston ON
the morning of the 18th of November, 1885,
The display was seen all over North America.
A similar display was seen by Humboldt at Gu
mana, South America, 1899.
A Boston contemporary, referring to these
phenomena, says:
A comparison of the epochs of appearance of
these great showers has led to the discovery
that they are periodic, their returns being sem
arated from each other by third part of a CEN
fury, or some multiple Of this period, and are
periodical appearances of one grand meteoric
shower. Professor Newton, of Yale College.
who has devoted much time to the inyestiGa,
ton of the periodic character of these showers.
finds that prodigious fight of meteors, the
most imposing of its kind, will make its ap-
pearance, probably for the last time In this
century, ON the morning of the 18th or 18th of
November next. Only thirteen of these great
showers are recorded between the years 903
and 1883. Such rare phenomena awakens a
deep interest among al classes of PERSONS

An Eloquent American.

One of the Kentucky Breckenridge who is a
member of the Missouri Legislature, and inherits
the preverbia eloquence of his family, thus allu-
ded to the American party, in speech the other
day. on Il bill referring to the regulations Of cleo
tions and the publication of the ballot-box:
Time does not now permit me- Mr.. Speaker, nor
is this the proper occasion to enter upon the defence
Of the principles of this great party, lthe Ameri-
cam shall eagerly avail myself of that opportu-
nifty at appropriate season of the session.
The secreSy at which gentlemen seem to be so much
panied, has been removed thank God. | may be
permitted to say. as a matter personal to myself
that while good reasons can be given for the adop
to me; and further, may say, that though | was
not able for some time to announce the fact of my
connection with it, l never awaited myself Of any
evasion to conceal it. That party at no distant
day would prevail The great heart of the people
was fully aroused. 1t had proved its faith in the
doctrines Of that party, by various and wonderful
manifestations.
He believed that the great mass of his country
men would be found standing on the platform OF
conservative principles which that party had pro-
claimed. From the teeming cities the people were
coming up TO attest their fealty to those princi-
ples-from the hillsdes, and the cabins and the
green pastures, were they coming in myriads to
the American banner, and when they had ac-
quired the power to reward and puniSh-when
they had reaped the rich harvest of victOry-they
would remember those who had deserted and OPP
posed them in the struggle and bartered away their
cause for temporary advantages

The Extra Session.

1t will be seen from the proclamation Of the
Governor, that he convenes the Legislature on the
Fourth of July 1t is stated in the rebel papers
that the Governor petitioned by forty members
of Congress TO do so. This is not true. He has
neither received or seen any such petition. We
suppose the motive for starting such report is to
show that the radicals in Congress are seeking to
NEEDLE with the Legislature of Tennessee. The mo.
tives which influenced the action of the Governor,
were these: First, to let Congress and the world
see that the loyal men of Tennessee are in full
sympathy with the Union party in Congress, and
those whom they represent. Next, he desired that
Tennessee should be the first State to ratify the Con-
stitutional amendments and have her members ad-
mtted to seats in Congress before the close of the
present session. Finally, he thought it suitable
way TO celebrate the anniversary of our National
Independence. And it is hoped the Senators and
Representatives will all respond promptly to the
CALL and give US quorum the day of the meeting
the glorious fourth.

The European War.

War has commenced in Europe in good faith,
the three great powers, having men and money &c
make bloody affair Of it. The Italians,are enthu-
sastc whilst the Ausrians appear to be less ardent
in their zeal, although determined to fight. The
Prussians avcr.e to war, but hostlities having
commenced, equal earnestness animates all the COM
batants. France sympathises with italy. The only
country that will gain by the war is France, and
perhaps Italy. Al parties agree that Napoleon is
responsible for opening hostilites. He has brought
a European war to crafty his ambition, and will
seize the coveted spoils either on the Rhine or il
Italy, as the chances may offer We doubt wheth-
er he will be able to keep out of a fight with Eng
land.

CrOWding the Penitentiary.

The several Courts of this State are sending M
unusually large number of criminals to the peniten-

some of the worst cases, hardened and confirmed
cases OF horse stealing and house robbery, and hang
the parties under late law giving jurors this dis
creton That is the remedy for all such despera te
and abandoned villains. The hanging of few Of
the leading characters will alarm the rest and drive
them out of the State.
