    facsimileof Thornas Campbells signature ; it is curious to contrast these two , and try to trace out how- far Buffon ' s saying , " the style is the man , '' applies to the mechanical phase of a man ' s writing , as well as to the form of expression and the thoughts . A few short articles which come after it excepted , an . account of Canton , with its tea statistics , concludes this part .

    As regards the sinews of war ( which seem to be developed in proportion to the commercial prosperity of a country ) , last week closed with , in . round numbers , 14 J millions of gold in the Bank , about £ 150 , 000 less than the preceding week ; a sum rather more than equal to the last-mentioned amount was received from the antipodean gold fields . Consols left off at from the fraction of an eighth below 93 , to ' Q 2 . % . Lord Palmerston was being immensely feted at Leeds during the close of last week . The address of the corporation was in the highest degree encomiastic . His lordship , moreover , has been discoursing about the microscopic animalcules * and the telescopic globes of space . And the Times thinks we must be prodigiously proud of having a premier who can do this in addition to accomplishing what Oxenstieim told his son was such . an easy , thing , i . e ., " govern a great country ; " and thinks such a thing quite beyond the power of the diplomatists of Warsaw . He also spoke in favour of local schools , and opened the new m arket

    hall'at Pontefraet . Mr . Train ' s plan for street-railways came before the Maryleborse vestry on Saturday . Dr . Ramsbottpm , and the solicitors for some noblemen whose property was in the vicinity of the proposed line , attended to oppose the projects Mr . Train exp lained his views at length , and offered to . modify his plan so as to leave untouched those neighbourhoods where property was situate in respect of which the opposition , had been raised , and . confine it to a tramway between Tottenhana-court-rpad and the Marble-arch , and ultimately offered to wait until the effect of the scheme as carried out in Victpria-stret had become known . Accordingly the consideration of the matter was postponed for threo months . ' , , number Scientific

    In an article in our last week ' s ( Philosophy ) we adverted to the fact that social progress , the well-being of society j deponds upon knowledge . Tins dootrino has received appropriate illustration in Lord Stanley ' s excollont speech , recently delivered , on Mechanics' Institutes and Education , Lord Stanley has illustrated the proposition from the opposite point of view , citing his experiences as a magistrate in proof of the fearful extent to which ignorance is productive of crime , that is , social degeneracy , and the z'ZZ-being ( so to speak ) of society . He lucidly explained how moral depravity and intellectual ignoranco do , in the " great averago of human affairs , " go hand-in-hund together j and that to inform ignorance ie to improve morality . Mulh ' ns having been found guilty in the caso of the Stepney murder , has been sentenced to death ; the . judge tolling him ,. in reference to an

    address whiph he had made to the court , that if ho could even now establish his , innocence , suoh exculpation would save his life . On the oubjeot of capital punishment we learn that the important town of Manchester has deoidod upon memorialising the Government , with a view of obtaining an inquiry into the operation of the existing law . Early in the week it was reported that in the caso of the lload murder the coroner ' s oourt was to bo re-opened , to receive any further evidence that might bo offered . In the oaeo of the Loods murder , Gowland , the husband of the woman who murdered her children , lias boon disohargod from custody , to which , ho had boon consigned on the aoousations of p 6 rjury and forgery ; there appoavei to have boon no ovidonoo against him for obtaining a conviction . _ „ at

    East , the magistrate sentenced him to pay a fine of £ 3 or suffer a fortnight's imprisonment . Mr . Rosier appealed , and the case came on . for decision this week before the Middlesex Sessions . Mr . Poland , who supported the appeal , topk a ' very ingenious point ; he urged that Mr : Hosier should have been fined or imprisoned at the option of the magistrate , and that the magistrate had no power to leave the alternative to Mr . Hosier . The appeal succeeded , and the conviction was quashed . The obituary of celebrated Englishmen this week receives a melancholy addition , in the Earl of Dundonald , who has now departed from among us in his 85 th year .

It appears by the report that has reached us , that an Englishman , said to be a lunatic , aimed a blow afc the Prince as he was traversing the city , without , however , being able to reach him . Prince Alfred lias been feted by the native chiefs in his excursion up the country , and brought back one of the most distinguished , Sandili , to Gape Town on a visit .

The betting was in favour of Hosa Bonheur , 100 dols . to 60 dols . being bet on her against the field . Any price could have been obtained about Montague and Bacchus . Mr , Bush's bay filly Cyclone looked in admirable condition , although she had not been in training more thaii a few weeks . Her forward state of preparation was stated to be the result of her having fed on Thorley ' s Pood for CattLe , which is alleged to be admirably adapted for horses in training for the turf . She won the first heat in clever style . —From tho dSTeto YorJc Tribune , Oct . 15 , 1860 .

    Last week closed with news that at Palermo the number of votes in favour of annexation was 36 , 232 , against 20 adverse ones ; 15 of the votes given having , beeii annulled . -Under the circumstances it is pretty clear that the excitement -of the public mind : does hot admit of a dispassionate consideration of the great question between dynastic rule and self-government ; an impartial decision of the issue between monarchy and republicanism . We also learned that Farini had been appointed Boyal Commissioner at Naples , and that the post of Minister of the Interior thus left vacant had been filled by Signor Minghelii . At the opening of the present week the news was confirmed that the Sardinians , and Neapolitans had again met in a great battle , which laated two hours , at a point between Sasso and Peanp , in . Campana ; the contest ended in the rout of the Neapolitans , who fell back upon the Garigliano . The Sardinians took a , great number of prisoners . — - The voting on the question of annexation in the city and province of Naples was 185 , 468 ayes , against 1 , 609 noes . —The Sardinian troops established themselves , as the week opened , on the southern ( or left ) bank of the Garigliano , - and a reconnoitring party along the bank of the river came into slight collision with the enemy . Garibaldi and Victor Emmanuel were making preparations for a battle early in the week , according to advices dated from Naples on the 30 th Oct ., when measures were being taken for , according to the latter , a brilliant reception at that city , where lie was expected shortly to arrive . The Neapolitan tariff has already been assimilated , with alight mpdifications , to the tariff of Sardinia . It having been intimated , as our readers know , on the part of France , that no attaok on Gaeta would be allowed to take place from the sea , Admiral Persano , the Sardinian , proceeded to the spot , and opened lire upon tho royal troops . Upon this , Admiral Barbier lo Tinan , of tho French fleet , sent a vessel tp warn him to desist , which Porsano accordingly did , entering , hpwevor , a polite protest against tho interference . The King of Sardinia succeeded on Wednesday in forcing the passage of the Garigliano , while Garibaldi has opened the siege of Capua with a vigorous bombardment . M . de Montalerabert , whoso belligerent proclivities are tolerably well known , has had what his compeer , Sir Thomas de Sayers , would pall a " go in" at Count Oavour . It seems the Count had alluded to Monsieur aa " an illustrious writer , " who had " had a luoid moment ,- " whereupon the latter puts himeolf in an attitude of offence , and delivers himself of two columns of Hoonan-liko literary right-handers . Some , however , ( arapng thorn the Times , ) think that he is only boating the air , and might as woll have savod himself tho trouble . News still came in as the present week commenoed , that tho Warsaw meeting was ontiroly of a personal ohftraotor as regards both xnonarohs and ministoi's attending it ; it appears that no stipulation won made at the Thursday mooting j no convention entered into j no protocol drawn up . Thus it eooms to have ended entirely in smoke ? or rather in snuff , the Emperor of Austria having presented Prince Gortsohakoff with a box sot with diamonds , for holding that nasal powder . Count Booliborg ' s toy was tho grand oordon of St . Andrew , presented to him of tho Emperor Alexander . , Tho Dowager-Emproes of Russia diod at St . Petersburg on Thursday m Ww ^ eavned , as tho woolc opened , that tho Gorman Federal Diet had boon considering the notice givon by Sardinia of tho blookade of Anoona , and confined itself to a declaration that it oould " ^ Xh » Sit with the policy of Sardinia in Italy . It also on . no to a rosolut on that it is oxiwclionbto furuiBh tho Federal ftwtrowoB wtliniloA guns , and declared that it aoooptod , with gratitude , tho offiir of PruBuw yoepeotmg "' IXiaTSooeedings having been instituted i ^^^^ jg ^ editor of tfio Opinion .
