Taylor, in ‘Washington and other cities, which we received ‘by telegraph during yesterday, and in the course o¢ the evening, as well as the ceremonies which took place in New York and adjacent cities. These pro- ‘eeedings will be read with melancholy interest, und ‘the only consolation left to us, is, that full honors ‘and respect, civil and military, were paid to the re- anains of our late lamented chief magistrate. The people everywhere, according to our accounts, were desirous of evincing their respect for the venerable ‘General Taylor, and testified it in the usual melan- choly manner. ai? Affai Europe. We have received our letters and papers by the Hibernia. The political news is interesting in va- vious points of view. ‘We learn, by this arrival, that a very gross and ‘unwarrantable insult was offered to the American Minister, at a ball in Madrid. T:he particulars will be found in another column, under the usual head. This is a very important matter, and may yet lead te trouble between the two countries. If it had proceeded from a person occupying no office of im- ‘portance, it might be passed over without a thought ; but coming, us it did, from Narvaez, whois a re- sponsible person, as well as a high office holder under the Spanish government, the matter cannot be looked over ; but, on the contrary, ought to be explained away. If the haughty Spaniard did really, as is reported, openly, and without cause insult our minister at the court of Madrid, and it he should follow it up in his diplomatic intercourse with Mr. Barringer, the dignity of this country will demand that ample reparation be made, if it should extend even to the dismissal of the author of the outrage. The governments of Europe must be taught to respect our representatives, no matter what the cost may be. The more intetligent of them render to us that respect which is our due; and such of tem as willnot doso—or, asin this case, wantonly insult our representatives—must be taught # lesson that they will notforget. We are disposed to remain in peace and amity with Spain, as well ‘as with all other European nations; but, to secure a continuance of such relations, such occurrences as this must not take place. The Greek dispute, which has occasioned so mueb talk among European politicians, and has been managed with so litte tact, or common sense onthe part of the Eoglish ministry, is still the to- pic of general discussion. After Lord Palmerston has been defeated in the House of Lords on the Greek question, the House of Commons has com- pliment:d him with a vote of confidence in signiti- eation of its appreval of his conduct in regard to Greece. The whole matter, as it now stands, ap- pears in a still more ridicalous light than it did even at first. Here is a minister, who, for the purpose of showing that he is not afraid of Russia, the great- eet power in Europe, attacks Greece, the smallest and weakest state on that continent. He dare not, however, disregard the remenstrances which are urged against such a course of policy by Russia. Though not in the position to goto war with any ene, he rejects the mediation of France after he has already accepted it, and gets into a quarrel with thatpower. Instead of endeavoring now to settle &8 quietly as possible the whole difiiculty in re- | gard ' this matter,which eo seriously compromises the position of a great power like Great Britain he persists in the course he has taken at first, an the question is debated at length in both houses of Parliament, without any regard to the ex- tremely humiliating nature of the whole case. The divpute, of course, will be settled, or is on the point of being #0, in despite of the fighting humor of Lord Palmerston and his colleagues; as there is no chance, under existing circumstances, of a rupture between England and any of the great powers of Europe. Whether the present ministry will go out or not, we do not apprehend that anything serious will grow out of this quarrel in regard to Greece The assavit on the Queen by a retired lieutenant in the British army, named Robert Pate, has caused a good deal of sensation in England, as it appears that the perpetrator was perfectly sane when he committed the act; and the loyal people of Her Majesty are ata loss to comprehend the motive | that led to such a cowardly attack. As no serious injury was contemplated, the object of the assault | seemed to have been the same which leads to the commission of many other foolish acts, viz :—the Jove of gaining notoriety among men and a name in history. The criminal will, of course, be locked up to await his trial. From Prussia, we learn of the effect of the new jaw relating to the press, which was published some time ago. No lees than one hundred jour- nals will be prevented from appearing, in cone quence of the refusal of the Prussian post offi to tranemit them, as it is authorized to do under the new law. The whole liberal prees has been stopped in consequence of this mens and no more foreign journals are to be forwarded except such as. the post offices will allow to pass.

Politics, finance, revolutions, diplomacy, exbinet intrigues, are nothing to cotton. This remarkable vegeta ble production rules the world, and, as our coun- try grows an immense suyplus above its owa consurnption, we may be said to rule the world. ‘This seeins to be fully ecknowledged in Europe, and the dependence an this country, in this impor- tant particular, has led the English to pay very | close attention to the cultivation of cotton in India | and other parts of the world. A few years ago, seven or eight Awerican planters were selected by | the East Incda Company to make experiments in India; but these all failed inthe ebject for which | they had been engaged, and, after spending five | hundred thousand dollars, the enterprise was ab { most ebandoned. The dry and wet seasons are be- lieved to be great objections to the cultivation of the plant, at least in many-districts. As many as two bales of cotton, say nine hundred pounds, can be obtained sometimes from a single acre of land in this country—whike a single acre in India eftener yields one hundred pounds than a larger quantity. The necessity, however, of having a competing growth with that of the United States, recently has brought about more favorable results in India, and the English are very proud in boasting that, at no distant day, they will do without American cot- ton, by increasing vastly the production in Egypt and in the East Indies, Withont doubt some very considerable changes | will take place in the growth and consumption of cotton, during the next five or ten years. It being the sovereign staple of the world, great nations will apply its power largely for political purposes. We have seen its eflect upon nations since 1816—how it | has regulated the money market between Great Britain and the United Statee—how it has estab- lished and perpetuated a long and blessed peace, and how powerful it now is, in keeping the world free from the alarms of war. Between Great Britain and India it has been seen to be a ligament that binds these islands of the sea toa mighty and barbaric empire, as nothing else could hold them. Our country, however, is the great consumer of cotton, and should slave labor be abolished, our crops be diminished, and we poesess no surplus for England, it is only reasonable to suppose that there would soon be found a pretext for war with us oa the part of Great Britain. Till we have no cotton to purchase peace, we are safe. Corrox—It* | Tue New Rasroap Prosgct.—There seems to be a desire on the part of our Common Council, to establish railroads in streets where it ia almost impossible that any such thing can be located, on account, in some cases, of the narrowness of the street, and in other cases, on account of the great | use made of the street by all the people who use horses and vehicles; it being, although, wide con- tinually filled with vehicles of all descriptions, and thus rendered impracticable for the uses aad pur- poses of a railroad. Now, to rum a railroad through @ very narrow street, is to give the use of that street to a person or a company, to the exclusion of these who have paid for its being built, and who have kept it in repair ever since it was firat con. structed, and to the anuoyance, and in many cases the destruction, of those who live along the liue; and to lay one in a wide street that has been used for a thoroughfare, is te drive those who have been in the habit of travelling in such street, with their cabs, coaches, carts, trucks, handcarts, private carriages, and even omnibusses, (the hardest of all to drive out of a street,) to seek some other thoroughfare in which they can travel in safety. Thus it is plain enowgh, that when they are driven out of one street they will go into another; and if one is made empty by the establishment of a railroed, they will go into another vid fill that, and so what is made in meal by such a measure (to use a homely phrase) is lost in malt—because one street is cleared and another is crammed. Much complaint is made of the extremely crowded state of Broadway, below the Park, by the very persons who clamor for tnilroads in the streets—a disposi- tion of the highway, which was originally open- ed, and by law intended, for the use .of the whole people, that is, in the opinion of many persons learned in such matters, that seems to be not only unwise, but extremely une- qual in its operation—as though a railroad would relieve that great thoroughfare of the plethora with which it is affected, unless a railroad were laid in it. The whole of the new system, which some mo- ney loving and money making man would foist upon us, is wrong. Before robbing the people of Tax Reronts vron tat Paine Liaur—A Bron Eine Levy.Two reports have been made by par- ties connected with the gas companies of Boston and of this city, upon the apparatus of Mr. Paine, of Worcester. The first report was a meagre and curious affair, and the second did not throw mach more light upon the subject. It was easy to per- ceive that the committee—a self-appointed one, we believe—were on a visit to Worcester to de- tecta fraud, and everything they beheld seemed to square with their first conclusions. Among other things, they en a tin vessel, which they supposed contained turpentine, but which they found, through a leak, only held water. This had a pow- erful eflect upon their excited imaginations, though other intelligent persons, present with them at the time of the examination, did not understand the construction of the epparatu8 to be such as they have represented. We are for having simple and exact justice dene to Mr. Paine, in spite of any alliances of gas pew- ers to put his light out; and, having given the re- ports ot Messrs.

TAYLOR'S LIKENESS, ETC., ETC. Wasuinaron, July 13, 11 A. M, 1850, At sunrise, this morning, # federal salute was fired trom the military stations in the vicinity of Washing- ton. The hotels are crowded, but the number of strangers in the city is comparatively small to the melancholy occasion. Conspicuous among the soldiers and Blake, are prepared to learn{what may be saidon the other side—not having given any opinion, and not intending to give one, upon what we have not examined strictly and thoroughly. ‘The opponents of Mr. Paine acknowledge his pro- bity and integrity, and, unless they desire to have him branded as an impostor, we cannot entertain the report recently published. Itis altogether too sweeping and unfair, and makes too much of a de- mand against Mr. Paine. Iu the attempt to anni- hilate the inventor, they have jumped too high, and fallen over their saddles. Mr. Samuel H. Greene, of Brookline, Maseachu- setts, has illuminated us, however, on the investi- gation of the committee. He it was who invited them to meet Mr. Paine, and he has given some explanations which are very interesting. He states that the investigators were assured that Mr. Paine would be at home to explain his apparatus, if they would consent to remain over night. This they refused to do, being conteyted with making only a slight survey, under very inauspicious cir- cumetances. Mr. Greene, however, may tell the remainder of the story. He says:— Furthermore, it is true, and I challenge the denial of any part of this statement, that, on the following day, upon my receiving a line from Mr. Pedrick, th in Worcester, stating that Mr. Paine was at home, called upon Mr. Roome, at the Tremont House, and requested that he would go up to Worcester that noon, or in case he could, not do this, that he would at Worcester on his way home to New York. He ned doing either, Having stated the above facts, which have anim- portant ing, though the gentlemen saw fit to omit them, I now come tu the examination of their report, which is unimportant, excepting in one particular; but as this particular portion of it, by its careful word. ing, gives to the casual reade: false impression under asemblance of truth, it is due to the public that the truth should be made known. The report states, (speaking of the character of the flame after ipe which conveyed the pure hydro- jar of turpentine was iermeseod. the The flame from the gas, atter passing through turpentine, wus proved, beyond all doubt in our minds, to be hydrogen only, and not carburetted hydrogen, as at first, aud to be totally unfit for illumi- nation. Mr. Paine, jr., on witnessing the result of this last experiment, appeared confused, and declared that the light burned as well as before, but was much paler, to which we all assented.” Now, as an eye witness of the above experiment, in company with the committee, 1am willing to state under oath, that the flame from the gas, at the time alluded to, had not the appearance of “hydrogen only,’ as stated by them. That it burned with a considerably fainter light than when first showed to them, I admit; but 1 would ask the gentlemen whether, after the pipe was immersed the second time into the jar of turpentine, the gas was burned for more than half a minute, and whether the very act of moving the pipe up and down through the of th d not make wn opening for the en- eric air, which would accor ‘and satistactorily, too, it is remembered for how short @ e of time re after the flame was produced. Furthermore. if, as scientific men, and as the paid agents of partis having the use of their highways and bye-ways, by laying rails in them, they sheuld try what virtue there is in new avenues. Much has been said about the rapid growth of the western side of our city as far out as Fittieth street, and it is said that carts and all sorte of wheeled vehicles will travel in Broadway when going north, until they come tothe most con- venient route to Hudson street, which is Chambers street; and that, therefore, Broadway is filled up and obstructed below that point to such an extent as to render it at certain times of day impasable. There is a remedy for this crying evil, and that is to open and extend Hudson street southward from its present termination at Chambers street, in 4 straight line from Fourteenth street through to Broadway, which it will strike at the corner of Courtlandt street, preserving the width of that beautifal road to that point ; and then the city will be blessed with an avenue which will swallow up | the travel of the whole of the city west of Broad- way, and relieve that thoroughfare more than al | the railroads that can be guilt, far from it or near to it, in fifty years. We are told, moreover,{that the people owning property and living along the line of Hadson street, will pay for this most desirable im- provement out of their own pockets.

Now, this is a very simple and intelligent expla- tion of the whole matter, and we do not see but that the Paine light is just as sound and safe as it was before the publication of the committee's re- port. We were prepared to believe that the alleged invention might be a failure in some respects, and had the report demonstrated this, it would have been natural. When, however, interested persons come forward, and charge a man with wilfal false, hood, with knavery, imposition, and fraud, by the assertion, or its equivalent, that oil gas supplies a light, instead of the process claimed by the inven- 10r, then we are not disposed to pounce upon the i ef such inferences, without something like positive evidence. Mr. Paine may deceive him self—may deceive his friends—may believe his light is all that he pretends it ‘but he is not, we imagine, quite so much of a fool, ora knave, as the brilliant illuminating committee would have us believe. It is time, however, that the subject should be permitted to reet, and of that, we believe, we have assurances. The specifications for the English patent are in the hands of Messrs. Baring Brothers, of London. It is the first patent that they have | ever touched, and they must have had some slight knowledge of the value of the invention, before | thay consented to go out of their usual course of | speculation, to throw new light upon the world. If they have made a mistake, it is one in which they will have plenty of company on this side of | the water. | By the way, we have lately seen a report that Mr. Paine has been excoriated in the face by the explosion of a cigar, which had been sent to him by eome mischievous miscreant. This excoria- tion, and that attempted by the gas companies, | will do well to be classed among the “ ills that | flesh is heir to.” Mr. Paine must look out sharply | 3 for these attacks upon him. Le has even reason te fear when he puts onaclean shirt, for by the Paris papers we perceive that the socialists have invented a destructive white powder, that, if sprinkled on linen, will make it more destractive than the poisoned robe of Nessus. It will explode when in contact with the body, and blow the human form enveloped in it to pieces. We hope the enemies of Mr. Paine will not attempt to make light of him in this way, for the illumination of many an obscure place is exceedingly desirable in these dark days, and our only hope must be in an invention like Mr. Paine’s, which will enable us to see every tint, shade and color, in the darkest hour. There is no mistake—we want light—and Mr. Paine must beware of socialists shirts.

Governor Thomas, of Maryland, with three aids in uniform, is inthe procession. The day is very fine. The vicinity of the President’s House was the great foous. Thitherwards the troops and others to form the procession wended, and every accessible and eleva- ted point, especially the steps of the Treasury Depart- ment, and the fencing enclosing the publie building ‘was occupied by dense masses of spectators, marshals flying in every direction, cannons firing, bells tolling, and general excitement. Members of the two Houses met at 11 o'clock, and came to the Presidential man- sion im hacks. They were among the privileged visit- ors towhere the dead lay. The public, generally, were not admitted, and constables kept off the sovereigns. The troops were formed in the avenue north of the President's mansion, precisely at eleven o'clock, Brev. Major Bedgewick’s troop of Light Artillery resting opposite the War Department. The procession moved at one o'clock P. M., when minute guns were fired by a detachment of artillery stationed near St. John’s Church, the City Hall, and the Capitol, respectively. ORDER OF THE PROCESSION.

It was truly # mournful day in Washington. ‘The military portion of the procession was fifteen minutes in passing a given spot, and the whole pro- cession was three quarters of an hour. ‘The eorpee having been consigned to the tomb, the salute was fired, and the procession returned to the city.

RUMORS OF THE NEW CABINET. ‘The rumor that Mr. Webster declines the State De- partment is incorrect. He will accept the station, if tendered to him, as it probably will be. The main difficulty will relate to the time of assuming its duties, Mr. Webster wishes to remain where he is uatil the slavery question is disposed of. y It is nearly certain that Thomas M. T. McKennan will have the Treasury or the Interior Department; and that Thomas Butler King or Wm. A. Gerham wil have the Navy Department. The chanees are in favor of King. It is a fixed fact, that the old cabinet goes out en- tire, and that @ new one somes in, and new books will be opened, Humphrey Marshall, of Kentucky. a streng man, is urged for the War Department. Ed.D. Baker also has many backers for the same appointment. The pre- tensions of the Hon.

M. Wasmincron, July 18—6 P. M. The funeral ceremony being over, everybody is making @ cabinet again. Mr. Fillmore listens po- litely to the representations of all on the subjeet, but makes no committals for the present. J.C. Jones, of Pennsylvania, and Charles S. More- head, of Kentucky, are now pamed for cabinet sta- tions briskly. The latest impression is, that no cabinet ministers will be taken from a State that voted against Taylo, and Fillmore. In this view the eurrent to-night runs in favor of the following selections :—Webster, State Department ; Mr. Bimons, the Treasury ; Mr. McKen- nan, the Interior; Mr. Gentry, the War; T. Butler King, the Navy; Mr. Morehead, the Post Office ; and Mr. Graham, the Attorney General. THE SLAVERY QUESTION—NEW MEXICO, ETC. Wasninoron, July 13, 1850. Thave since learned, as a positive fact, that Judge Hopkins, of Alabama, will be the next Attorney Gen- eral, though « whole new cabinet is a matter of speca- lation, President Fillmore has, a yet, kept entirely dumb on the subject. 1 said, yesterday, that the President had determined ‘upon transmitting to Congress a special message on the slavery question. I have since learned that it was arranged in cabinet, and that Mr. Clayton was to write it out. It is said that it advocated the administration plan all through, and advocated the immediate admis. sion of California and New Mexico. T also hear it stated that a protest has been received from the Governor of Texas, against the employment of force in the dispute between that State and New Mexico, a that large meetings have been held in Texas, at which resolutions were passed. resolving to resist force by force. The Union office to-day discharged all except five of their compositors on Congressional printing. A move- ment will probably be made next week to repeal their contract. SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES. Wasnixcron, July 13, 1850. The Senators were in attendance at half-past ten o'clock. The usual badges of mourning were prepared by the proper officers, and, at eleven o’cloek, the Rev. ‘Mr. Butler delivered an appropriate and impressive prayer. The Senators then withdrew, to proceed to the Pre- sidential mansion, from whemee the grand civic and military procession was to move. After the obsequies, the Senators returned to the Se- nate, adjourned. THE SOLEMNITIES IN OTHER CITIES. Prerssvnen, July 13, 1850. All business is suspended here.
