The Comet. We find in the Eclectic Magazine, for March, 1855, an article on comets, which contains the following statements : "A very remarkable comet made its appearance in 1264 and another in 1556. Of the former we are told that when its head was just above the eastern horizon

the tail stretched tar away westward to beyond the mid heavens. Dr. Halley calculated the orbits of these two comets with a number of others. Fifty years after the time of Dr. Halley, the elements of the comet ot 1264 were re-calculated by Mr. Dunthorne, and each resemblances observed between the results and those which Halley had given for the comet of 1556, as to lead to a suspicion of their identity. About twenty years after this, M. Pingre, by his calculations, strongly 'confinned this suspicion, and predicted the return of that great comet in 1848, thus assigning it a period of 292 years. Between 1843 and 1847, Mr. Hind carefully went over all the calculations, and having rectified some errors, he concurred in thinking that the comets of 1264 and 1556 were identical. Mr. Bomme, of Middleburg, repeated the calculations regarding the comet of 1556, making the proper allowance for the perturbations of Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune, and partially for those of the Earth, Venus and Mars. In the first instance, Bomme used the elements of Dr. Halley, according to which he found that this great expected comet will come to its perihelion in August, 1860. Subsequently, Bomme used the elements of Mr.Hind,and according to these the great comet of 1556 should return, and reach its perihelion in August, 1858. M. Hind, therefore, thinks that August, 1858, will be within two years either way of the perihelion passage, so that the great comet of 1264 and 1556 may be looked for in these parts of space some time between 1856 and 1860 ; and he is of opinion that our presentmeans of knowledge do not admit ot a nearer approximation. Many an intelligent mind will welcome with delight that mighty wanderer come back again, and will see in its return illustrious evidence of the power of God, and of his goodness to his creator man." This would seem to indicate that the present visiter in our heavens is an old acquaintance, come back a third time, after an absence on each occasion of nearly three hundred years. As the number of these eccentric visiters is so great, and their visits so seldom, it is difficult to recognize them at once. According to Arago, more than 7,000,000 of them come within the orbit of Uranus, and Mr. Hind supposes that over 5,000 have approached the sun within the orbit of Mars. Of these there are trustworthy records of more than six hundred. It is a curious fact, perhaps very little known, that the tail of the comet of 1843 actually struck the earth. The article from the Eclectic Magazine says : "No sensible effect has been produced on any partof the solar system by the numerous comets that have gwept through it. The cometary bodies have been affected by their approach to the planets ; but neither the planets nor their satellites have been affected by tie neighborhood of comets. This is probably owing to the extreme rarity of the nebulous matter of which comets are composed. It is so very thin that small stars have been seen through the centre of the heads of comets, without .being in the slightest degree obscured.' There is, therefore, very little matter in comets, and hence their approach to the earth does not produce any sensible effect on it. Were they of larger mass, and so to influence the earth or any of the planets by coming near them, the effect would be to accelerate or retard their motions in their orbits; for instance, to make our year a few days longer or shorter. It is doubtful if any seriously disastrous result would follow were the earth and a comet to come even into contact. And it seems probable that the tail of a comet (the great comet of 1843) actually swept over the earth, with what sensible or injurious effect many of us can perhaps tell. ANOTHER COMET. Turtle's comet can now be seen with the naked eye, in the constellation Pegasus. Tliis"group is in a direct range with a line drawn from the two pointers in the " Dipper" and the North Star, and is about as far from that body as Arcturus. Contemporaneous French Literature. A Paris letter savs : " We are looking forward with a great deal of interest to the appearance of a new novel by M. Earnest Feydeau, the author of 'Fanny,' which, in a few months, has run through three editions a successful career, which is ot its sell a loud condemnation of the corrupted state of this society. " This popular novel turns altogether upon the tortures endurod by the lover of an adulterous woman, when he thinks upon and sees the husbands right s. Who on earth but a Frenchman could have thought of such a disgusting subject! Yet this book is said to be under every Jady s pillow in H ranee. M. bainte Beuve praises it to the skies. M. Jules Jannin has written a most eulogistic preface to the third edition The title of the new novel is 'Daniel.' Did you read Madame Bovary when it appeared ? It enjoyed and enjoyes great popularity, and, like all French books of late date, turns upon illicit conversation. An adulterous -woman is the heroine of it too; but it is interisting as being a miror of provincial life which these people admit for faithful. The provinces are represented as gangrened as the capital. "Nobody seems to have any idea that there are such things in the world as principles which honorable people would sooner lose their life than abandon; femenine chastity and fidelity to marriare-vows are looked upon as matters indifferent as salutations; its heroes and heroines all lie, some of them steal, and every body who appears in the book seems persuaded that as long as his bed is provided with an agreeable woman, his board with a plenty to eat. and his ward robe with aplenty to wear, he is derelict to no duty of the station of life to which it has pleased Heaven to assign him. How long society can keep together, rotton to the core, as French society is admitted to be, I cannot vaticinate. You will see in your exchanges the Holy Bible is prohbited in some departments by a decree not five days old ; the Bible prohibited and 'Fanny' and 'Madame Bovary' sold 1 The Governor is saia to hnd Uelial no bad moulder ot slaves. The Ohio State-house on Fire. About I o'clock yesterday morninsr those of our citizens resid m the vicinty of the State Capitol buildings were aroused by the alarm of fire given by the workmen on the artesian well in the State-house yard. It was dis covered that the basement room in the north-east cor ner of the building, directly under the office of the Secretary of State, and used by the Secretary as a store-rooni, and by workmen as a paint shop, was being rapidly enveloped in flames. ' A few minutes after the first alarm the steam fire-engine was on the ground, and was soon followed by the " Capitol" machine, both of which poured a tremendous stream of water through the windows, the steam-engine on the north side and the capital on the east. An immense volume of smoke 'scaped through the two windows, followed by sheets f flame leaping up into the very faces of the "firemen, siting it extremely difficult to reach the spot from "nith the fire arose, as all the avenues leading to the "Xin -were locked and full of smoke. A large pile of "otionery, wrapping and printing paper in a corner me subterranean room was wrapped m names, and " was almost impossible to reach it with water. But the strenuous exertions of the firemen were sue cessful and the flames succumbed after an hour's hard work. The room was opened, but for some minutes as as hot as a furnace. The stationery in the room, Jalued at about $400, was totally destroyed. Almost 300 worth of heavy glass, just placed in the room the "ky before, was a total loss. Considerable painting aPparatus and raw materials, valued at from two to wree hundred dollars, belonging to the contractor, Hamilton Cummings of Cincinnati, were destroyed. ive or six hundred volumes of public documents, embracing the only complete set extant of documents trom the first organization of the Territorial Government to the present time, were totally ruined. These documents were of great value as records, and it will "e impossible to replace them. Their real value is incalculable, though probably the whole lot would not "ave sold for $100. The total loss of the State will perhaps reach $500, aside from the expense of repairlng the room, the walls, windows and doors of which j1 considerably damaged. As to the origin of the re notliing is known. Ohio Statesman. T On Thursday night Washington street was all j ahl, v ., jj i I iaze vnth bonfires, the cannon was fired, and speech- j 8 made by the Republicans and their friends, over the i iuniph in the election. It was the largest and most enthuiastic meeting of the campaign. j

The Overland Mail. The first California Overland Mail arrived at St. Louis on Saturday in twentythree days and four hours from San Francisco, bringing dates from our Pacific emporium ten days later than had been received by way of the Panama route, and from the interior of California of course still later.

In the fact thus briefly stilted, we have a striking condemnation of the policy blindly pursued by the Federal Government throughout the last ten years. During these years, the Treasury has suffered at least Two Millions per annum, for the support of Ocean Mails, about One Million per annum of which has been devoted to mails by way ot the Isthmus of Danen to California. Had this money been expended in sending the Mails through our own territories on the most direct routes from the Mississippi to the Pacific, the service would have been far better performed than it has been, with the incidental result of opening a great National Highway across the continent, lined with settlements and villages and provided with every accessory to comfortable and expeditious travel, whereby the Mails would now be carried at least twice a week from San Francisco to St. Louis within twenty days, with side-routes from Memphis to San Diego, and from St. Paul to the Dalles in less than half the time now required by the roundabout ocean transit. Grant that these Mails would, at the outset, have been interrupted or delayed for two or three months in Winter, and still the gain to the correspondence and business of the whole country would have been immense, while the advantage to emigration and travel would have been still more palpable. The pioneer from Wisconsin or Iowa, who resolves to try his chances in California, must now journey a thousand miles eastward in order to begin his voyage of seven thousand miles to San Francisco, whence he must make another expensive eastward journey of several hundred miles to reach, the mines, from which he was but two thousand to twenty-five hundred miles distant when he started. The cost to him of this- circuitous journey, both in time and money, is far greater than direct route, while the fifth, di scomfort and danger wruilfl hp t hivf. nr n nil sen crn hv sta rrorr!th rmoi. to health ot the sea-route are inconceivably the greater, bhall this be continued I JS. Jr. Irwune, x ellow a ever in inew ukleans. we copy the following from the New Orletns True Delta of the 2d. The steamer alluded to as taking such a laree number of passengers to the city is the New Uncle bam, whose captain, alasl was one ot the first victims of the epidemic : Absolute Insanity. it is a strange hallucination which will induce men to rush into the jaws of death; they stake their lives against dollars in the most reckless manner; they hold them cheap and dollars dear. J. he mortality has begun to steadily decline, as is evi dent from the reports of several days past, but it is reasonable to conclude that they will soon begin to increase, that the fever will fatten on the new food supplied it by new arrivals in the city, for great numbers fancying that the fever has left three or four situations apiece vacant, are coming from the country to the city. It can scarcely be credited that one river steamer land ed day before yesterday no less than three hundred and seventy-five passsengers, of whom 125 were in the cabin and 250 on deck ! In a few days the fate of these misguided persons will doubtless be apparent in the mortality statistics, arresting the appearance of its uniform diminution. W hy will people abroad be in such blind haste, when a delay of a few weeks would enable them to approach the city with safety I Not only do they run into certain danger themselves, but their sickness adds to the area of the epidemic, adds to the public uneasiness, and has a bad effect in every point of view. In the name ot humanity can nothing be done to keep unacclimated people from rushing into New Orleans by wholesale ? If they really do not know the peril, then every means ought to be taken for their enlightenment. Of course we cannot expect steamboat officers to be so conscientious as to turn back pas sengers making application, but we do expect benevolently disposed and intelligent persons in the up river cities to take some pains to inform the ignorant of the risk they run, and induce them, if possible, to hold on for a time. Of course the arrivals improve business a little, but what is that little in the balance with human life saccrificed. A short time more and a healthful business animation will legitimately ensue, compared with the progress of which the spasmodic revivals of trade caused by a few arrivals are as nothing. Let us wait patiently until then, and let people abroad also wait. . . Arrival of a Steam Canal Boat from Buffalo. The steam canal boat Charles Wack, the first of her class which has made the trip through to New York, arrived at pier No. 6 East river on Saturday, having made the passage in fourteen days. She left Buffalo on the 25th ult with 4,000 bushels of corn, weighing 134 tons, and had in tow as far as West Troy the Wm. Crozier, with 489 barrels of flour, 1,371 bushels of wheat on board, together with some castings and machinery, making the aggregate tonnage of both boats 277 tons. The average rate of speed of the Wack on the canal was about two miles an hour -sometimes running three and on the Hudson, without the tow, but with a strong head wind, four miles an hour. She consumed while on she canal about two tons of coal in the twenty-four hours. On the whole, she made far better time than could have been done by horse power, and at less expense than it would cost for one canal boat alone on the old principle. The Charles Wack was one of the boats that accompanied the experimental trip with Gov. King and the State officers a few months ago from Rochester to Buffalo. Her arrival in this city is quite an event in steam canal navigation. N. Y. Herald, Oct. 12. . Legal Tender. The new Orleans Courier, noticing the fact that gold and silver dollars of the United States coinage are a legal tender to any amount, says: ' The silver dollar has disappeared mysteriously, and few could tell how, or what had become of it. The mystery is now solved. To give place to the gold dollar, the silver one has been melted up and coined into half-dollars; and thus the Government has imposed upon us an immense quantity of money which is only a legal tender to a small amount. We are completely flooded with silver of this denomination. The banks will only receive ten dollars on deposit, and thus it is that our merchants have to sell this specie, called money, at 2 per cent, discount. Our Mint, we believe, has not cast any silver pieces above the denomination of fifty cents for two years. The Custom-house will not receive anything but gold for its dues, and still the coiners of our Mint are kept at work turning out $200,000 or $300,000 per week, of this uncurrent commodity. If we had our old genuine currency, this would not be the case. The Custom-house would be compelled to take it for the amount due her, and silver would be worth its intrinsic value. . ' ' The Courier considers this a great act of injustice, and one which should be investigated and corrected. Are Works of Art Sinful? A singular trial is about to take place in Lombardy. A wealthy man of that section lately died who possessed two pictures by Kubens one the picture of a woman, the other a zodiac two pictures of high merit, and well known in the country to which they belonged. When the priest arrived to confess the dying man he demanded to see the pictures of Kubens. They were shown him; he declared them indecent, because they were nude finires of women, and refused absolution to the moribund unless he gave orders for the burning of the oictures. He was obeyed, was absolved, and then died. To-day the son and heir to the estate has brought suit "against the confessor for having abused the mind of the dying man, and diminished the value of the succession 30,000 trances. Such a process, if intelligently conducted and pleaded, will be of immense0 value as a precedent. Ttik Central and Erie Again at Logger heads. Another grand railroad convention was to be held at Buffalo on the 1 2tb. The Central is charged with having violated some of the provisions of the rpfpntlv concluded armistice, and hence the trouble. The matter, it is said has been pushed so tar that the naners have been delivered into the hands of the umP? decMm It ;s to be hoped that these railgentiemen -will be able to come to some conclug;on amongst themselves as to what constitutes good faith, and endeavor to abide by it

For the Locomotive. BIRD.

THE BY MARY LYNN. Sitting idle by my window, Listening to the Autumn rain ' . As it pattered on the house-top Dashed against the window pane. While I dreamed about the future, . , Weary, turned me to the past, Wondering if my sky would ever Clear from clouds about it cast. As I sat thus idly dreaming Idly gazing on the rain, In the damp a bird came flying, Tapping on my window pane. ' Gently tapped, as if to ask nie ' For protection from the storm ; Said his wings were wet and weary, And that I would feed and warm. Then I roused me from my dreaming, Threw the window open wide, Reached my hand and took the wanderer, Placed him gently by my side, Dried his wet and heavy plumage, Gave him crumbs from out my hand. As I listened to his singing, Surely, thought I, I've a friend. God hath sent one thing to love me One to love me and not leave ; It will soothe me with his music, It will teach me not to grieve ; But this while the sky was clearing, And a gleam of sunshine fell On my new found hope's bright plumage, And he flew, nor said farewell.

These medicines, it appears, act chemically upon the blood, purging it from the elements of disease, and curing an infinite variety of disorders, by cutting off the supply of morbid matter which forms their basis.
