Sheep 2 ee, carts ea sbenglane tarate and 146 hogs The Death of Lord Palmerston—After Him the Deluge. We believe that it was Metternich, the adroit and celebrated diplomatist and statesman, who, during the terrible convulsions of 1848, when ‘he was anxiously asked what he was going to do, calmly replied, “Do? Nothing! After me- comes the deluge.’ In the same sense we may apply these remarkable words to Lord Pal- merston. For tite past @fteen years his talents, his tact, bis geniatity, his personal and politi- cal influence haye kept the British government upon its feet, reconciled and ‘harmonized con- tending factions, and avoided giving any pre- text or opportunity fora formidable revolution. But now he is dead, and after him comes the deluge which is to overwhelm England and break up that proud and powerful but artificial and unnatural empire. Looking at English politics from our independent standpoint, we seck in vain for a Premier who can organize a permanent administration. Earl Russell is al- ready suggested; but he is personally unpopu- lar, and the opposition to him bas always been, aitd will continue to be, most vehement and determined. Lords Grenville and Claren- don are mentioned; but they have no strength whatever, even with their own party. Gilad- stone has been prominently named; but the recent election at Oxford showed that the aris- tocracy of the English Church were inimical to him, and his liberal suffrage speeches have ar- rayed all the conservatives against him. As for Derby and Disraeli, they are of course out of the question, since only a few weeks ago the electors of England voted against them as em- phatically as ever. We expect, therefore, that one Premier after another will be chosen, and one Cabinet after another temporarily formed— each woaker and tess stable than its predeces- sor—until, sooner or later, the deluge comes and the empire of Great Britain is dissolved. The philosophical student of history finds a parallel for the present condition of English society and politics in the condition of France in 1780, when the agitation began which culmi- nated in' the Revolution of 1789. The real es- tate of France was then owned by about eighty thousand families; the distinctions of classes were so rigidly drawn as to amount to distinc- tions of castes; the majority of the people were held in practical serfdom, and the government was administered solely for the benefit of the aristocracy, nine-tenths of the population of France having a0 rights which tho aristocracy were bound to respect. The real estate of England, Ireland and Scotland is now held by about forty-five thousand fami- lies; the funds are in almost as few hands; eight or nine hundred thousand electors do the voting tor nearly thirty millions of peo- ple; the nobles and the plebeiana have few intereats and no sympathies in common; white slaves groan beneath the yoke in every county; swine and horses are better cared for than human beings ; the intellect of the empire, in spite of such occasional bribes as the elevation of Macaulay to the peerage, is disgusted with the absurd, expensive and insulting ceremo- niats of rank and titles and with the foolish system of government that, disregarding all the natural claims of ability, enterprise and education, makes a man a noble simply be- cause his ancestors were descended from a Norman pirate; more than nine-tenths of the population have no voice in framing the laws that they are obliged to obey, no representa- tion in the government that they are compelled to suppor! by their money and their lives. The cases of France in 1780 and England in 1865 being almost precisely the same, why should the resuits be different? In England, before meoy years have passed, we sball see a tre- thendons revolution, which will end in the establishment of a republic like our own, founded upon the only tundamental principle that can be permanently accepted by a civil- ized people in the nineteenth century—viz : that all governments derive their just powers from the consent of the governed, and that all powers not thus derived are illegitimate and must be revoked. No one can attentively consider the vast pro- blems that have beea providentially worked out within the past century without acknowl- edging that humanity is steadily progressing ia accordance with a definite and absolute plan. England plants a colony upon this continent; in a short time we rebel and separate from her upon that very issue of representation which underlies all governmental systems. Then, having formed & new uation and revived the old experiment of # republic, we flourish and prosper, and attract the admiration of the world. From time to time the strength of the republic is tesied by a foreign war, and from each conflict we emerge more powerful than ever. Our example begins to affect all Europe, and millions of people secretly aspire and strug- glo for the liberties that we enjoy. Still the aristocracy contend that our republic is only an experiment; that ultimately we must fail; that no people can govern themselves. At last comes the crucial trial. Eleven States rebel against the federal government. Europe shakes its crowned hoad knowingly, and solemnly declares that the Union is dissolved and that republican institutions are ® failure. After four years of civil war, during which we raise the largest armies, produce the greatest generals, build the most powerful navy, fight the most tremendous battles and win the most glorious victorics that the world has ever seen, the aristocracy of Europe find their prophecies unfulfilled, their hopes betrayed, their decision reversed by accomplished facts; for the Union is restored, the capacity of the people for self-government is amply vindicated, and the American repub- lie is proven to be agrand success. Naturally enough this result stirs the revolutionary ele- ment of Europe to its utmost depths. The English voters boldly elect the best friends of (his oouairy to Parliament, wyecgres @Qh Cate. NuW YORK HERALD, WEDNESDAY, NUVEMBER 1, 1865, didates are presented; the Fenian movement in Ireland is precipitated; Kossuth at once de- parts for Italy, where almost all the continental conspiracies are planned. At this vital juno- ture Palmerston dies, leaving no one bebind him who can 6o admirably manipulate the various parties in England; so artfully concili- ate public sentiment; so adroitly balance the nobles against the people and the people against the nobles; so audaciously’ promise everything and perform nothing in the way of a reformation of the government; so dexter- ously flatter the national vanity when he is really sacrificing the national honor; so cau- tiously use his foreign allies to maintain himself in power, and so successfully keep the old, complicated and worn-out machinery of the British constitution in motion. His death thus opens the door to agitation, removes the re- atraints from the radicals and other revolu- tionista, and leaves the way open for a com- plete transformation of English institutions. Therefore we say that after Palmerston comes the deluge, and after the deluge a British republic. The logic of events is irresistible; the conclusion inevitable, Magnificent Railroad ‘Opetations end ‘Prospects. ‘The grand project, of which #0 much has been said lately, for makiag & continuous and central liae of broad gauge railroad from New ‘York to and through the great Western States is likely to be soon put into execution. It is proposed to connect this city with the Atlantic and Great Western road on the east, and to extend the connection on the west to St. Louis. In fact, the views and purposes of the pro- jectors reach far beyond the Mississippi or Mis- souri river. They regard this continuous cen- tral line to St. Louis as only the eastern section of the great Pacific Railroad, and contemplate extending their operations. Mr. McHenry, an enterprising American, a native born citizen from Pennsylvania, is the originator of this important movement. Those who know ,what this gentleman has accom- plished already with the Great Western Rail- road, which is, probably, the finest railroad in the country, will feel satisfied that this is no stockjobbing or kiteflying scheme. He has had the sagacity and influence to bring into it men having large capital and great experience in such matters. Sir Morton Peto is the railroad king of the world. It is said a hundred thou- sand persons are employed in the works he controls, The capital that he and those with him possess and represent is ample for the greatest undertaking. They come here to in- vest money in a legitimate business way, to build and improve railroads with it, and to pay themselves through the earnings of such roads, and not to make stock-gambling operations on Wall street. Such being the case, we might have supposed the preas and those who ought to feel inter- ested in the progress of the country would be highly gratified to see these. gentlemen come here with the view of using their money and skill in this great work. Instead of that, we see in a certain set a disposition to ridicule “British capital” and “British capitalists.” It is not 80 with the mass of the people, however; they have shown everywhere that they appre- ciate the purpose of these railroad capitalists. All sensible men will say God speed to them in the enterprise they have undertaken, for it will develop immensely the resources of the country and add greatly to our wealth. In ‘truth, none but the most silly peo- ple, those who imagine they have rival interests, or corrupt speculators who can- not control or touch the money of these capitalists, would venture to speak digparag- ingly of them or their object. Capital has no nationality. If all the wealth of our bilterest enemies were poured into the country to make improvements we ought to be glad. Why, then, sneer at this enterprise of friendly Eng- lishmen, ted by one of our own most worthy native born citizens? Such gross stupidity can only be accounted for by supposing that those who sneer are influenced by corrupt or ‘malicious motives, The organ of the New York Central Railroad in thia city made an insidions and puerile attack on these British capitalists yesterday. ‘Thongh constructed to play any tune called for by its patrons, or by the hand that happens to hold it for the time being, it makes very lugu- brious music. In the article referred to there is a ridiculous parade of classical similes and a jumble of nonsense having nothing to do with the subject. ‘The wriler makes @ ludicrous attempt to be witty and humorous upon a plain matter of fact subject. Having no argument, or any reason for endeavoring to ridicule “British capitalists,” he felt a necessity to say something in the interest of his masters, and wrote about Jupiter, Danae, the Shah of Persia, Brigham Young, Colorado Jewett, the Queen of the Sandwich Islands, Count Joannes, and other subjects equally as applicable. Such an absurd affectation and parade of classical learning and pretence of wit cannot cover up the animus and motive of the writer. What, then, is the secret of this insidious hostility to British railroad capitalists? We think it can be explained. Their project is to build a magnificent broad gauge railroad to counect with the Atlantic and Great Western that will shorten the distance from New York to the West one hundred and forty miles. The stock gamblers of the Erie, New York Central and Harlem roads are alarmed, and their organ ories out in agony. The Erie Railroad men tried to corner these capitalists and to use them for stock gambling purposes, but they failed. Sir Morton Peto and his associates are abont closing, and probably have closed, an arrangement with the Morris and Essex Rail- road by which they will construct their line through New Jersey and Pennsylvania to con- nect with the Atlantic and Great Western. ‘This road, ag was observed, will shorten the distance to the West one hundred and forty miles, and will pass through the richest agricul- tural and mineral regions of the whole country. It will be free, too, from many of those dangerous mountain curves and passes on other roads. Any one can perceive what an advantage such a railroad will bave over others that are longer, badly managed, worn out, more dangerous, and swamped with @ superabundance of stock. It will be a heavy blow, and, as far as the public interest and morals are concerned, @ useful one, to the great railroad stock operators in Erie, New York Central and Harlem. We could name these men if we thought proper. They are well known in Wall street; for apt bara boom iq the habit of buying up, selling out, cornering and gambling generally in the stocks of these railrosds for years. Aad now, when there is s prospect of railroad busi- nea being done in a legitmate, business-like manner by those who wil study to obtsin returns for their capital fom the earnings of the road, and by providing for the comfort and safety of the public, these gambling specula- tors set their organs hovling against British capital and capitalists. This is the secret of their conduct. We leave the public to pass judgment as to which is best for the country: the magnificent projects snd purposes of Mr. McHenry, Sir Morton Pe‘o and their gasoci- ates, or the selfish schemes of the railroad stockjobbers who indsidiously sssail them.

Blind Tom, the Musical Phenomenon. Blind Tom's woolly covered cranium was yesterdey” Return of the British Capitalists to Europe. Sir Morton Peto, Mr. James McHenry and some twenty or twenty-five of their travelling associates—bankers, brokers, railway direc- tors and capitalists—leave this port for Eng- land in the steamship Scotia to-day. They have had an instructive and delightful tour over the great central section of the Union, occupying two months of time, industriously | employed, and covering nine thousand miles of feasted like, princes from point to point, and with s generous welcome like that accorded to the favorite Prince of Wales. Independently of their supposed fiuancial designs, the syth- pathies and interests in our national cause of such men as Peto and McHenry were sufficient to secure their whole company @ cordial recep- tion everywhere among the American people. Starting from this city, the. fluancial and commercial centre and settling house of the continent, these gentlemen have seen some- thing of the commercial and agricultural pros- perity of our Empire State; they have in- spected the munificent coal, iron and oil regions of Pennsylvania ; they have scaled the Alleghanies, touched at Niagura and our fresh water inland seas; they have traversed the bountiful valleys and prairies of the Great West to the Mississippi; they have ‘marked the wonderful growth of its towns and cities and endless network of railroads; they have seen in St. Louis, in the heart of the con- tinent, a city surpassing in substantial wealth, commerce and activity any of the past or pres- ent commercial depots of the Mediterranean; they have learned from their trip to Harper’s the subject of a phreneological examination. Vory little light was thus thrown on the exceptional development se manifest in Tom’s musical abilities and strange antics. ‘The phrenologist merely found that Tom's head was @ very good average in all the qualities that the disciples of Gall and Spurzheim have ventured to catalogue. ‘Thore was declared to be a good development of all the faculties that make inan a domestic animal and keep ap that remarkable institution known as thé family; the perceptive and reasoning faculties wore also found to be good; there was goed time, good tune, good language 4nd good color, and that sunse of the right relation ef things which. (4 calied “ordec”” was ‘larger haa ‘ta. the majority of heads. This fact throws some light-on Tom's peculiarities, as it ix doubtless owing to this development, that the’ blind niusiciag {9 able to'carry in bis otind tae Tolation of the parts in all the very complicated pieces of nnusic that hé:so wanderfully remembers. ‘The irrelevancy of Tom's bumps may be sovounted for by the fact that his brain is a comparatively, unde. veloped one—tuat ix, the several qualitics have not tolt the influence of cultivation iu bis own life, They are as they were inherited. His brain is, in mont respects, the brain of his father or mathor reproduced. It is im- possible to explain in any other way the development of the so-called organ of color, Tom was born blind, has been blind all his life, and, practioally, is blind aow. He at present perceives light, and can sea any largo body near him; but this power has only been acquired re- cently. How, then, shoulda man without eyes have the organ of color? The fishes in the great cave in Ken- tueky, where there ts no light, have no eyes, and by the same arrangement of nature we must suppose that those withont the use of their eyes would be without what could only come through the sense of sight. But it is cay enough to suppose that Tom inherited this organ, ‘and that it has not been obliterated, merely because tha, with other parts of the brain, it has remained stationary. But 1 is sufficiently evident that thers is a quite exceptional distribution of faculties in Tom, whatever phrenology may see oF fail to soe. He carries to nearly their opposite extremes the sensuots and intellectual natures, His senses are defective. His eyes are noarly useless, and he bas an tacomplete control of the organs of speech. Hit deficiencies are thus in the very group of organs with which the negro race is usually so well Ferry that a single central railway line in the prosecution of a continental war is equal to a powerful army; and, from their visit to Rich- mond, that the most extensive, elaborate and costly lines of fortifications are useless when cut off from the railways from which they draw their supplies; but, above all, they have, seen for themselves in this country, trom New York to St. Louis, and trom the great lakes lo the James river, that there is a field for safe and profitable investment of money such as never before has invited the wealth-developing forces of capital and enterprise in any quarter of the globe. . oe From these practical, large minded and ex- perienced business men, seeking new fields for the surplus private capital of England and France, we may confidently expect important results in the development of our vast re- sources of wealth and power. We look for a new immigration into this country, not confined to the laboring people of Ireland and Ger- many, but embracing liberal infasions of Euro- pean capital, in great railway, banking and other financial enterprises. We expect that the old humdrum system of our financial ex- changes with Europe, as managed for many years past by the Barings, the Browns, the Bel- monis and the Rothschilds, will be superseded by a new set of men and a new system, more in keeping with the active and progressive spirit of the age. We expect to see the old set of international bankers of this city, who have become narrow minded and penurious as they have grown rich, dusted and cast into the re- tired list by a new body of financiers who do not measure their investments by the old Frankfort doctrine of sheat-per-shent. ‘There ia also good ground for the opinion that our pres- ent railway directors of such linesas the Har- lem and New Haven, Hudson River, New York Central and others, will be driven trom their stock gambling operations in Wall street to the repair of their lines to something like the European system of safety to human life or will be compelled to yield them into other hands. Finally, as the crowning reault of this late busi- ness reconnoissance of Sir Morton Peto, Mc- Henry and Company, we have the prospect of such accessions of active capital from Europe in our public improvements as will materially facilitate the movements of Mr. McCulloch, of the national treasury, in view of an early re- sumption of specie payments, The moneyed bonds ‘thas falling into English and French hands will be additional bonds of peace be- tween their governments aud ours, and the work of diplomacy in this view will thus be- come very simple and easy. This was the ruling idea at the farewell ban- quet in this city of Sir Morton Peto to his four hundred guests. We wish him and his asso- ciates a pleasant voyage home, and that it may not be long before they return to these shores to put into practice some of the great financial enterprises suggested by their interesting and instructive American tour, Avsoruse New Rinu Formna,--The recent ring between Thurlow Weed and Fernando Wood having been broken up snd repudiated by all coacerned, another new ring is in pro- cess of formation. Fernando Wood haa been dropped, on the ground that Daniel Morgan O’Brien has completely extinguished him, and Brother Bea, the real head of the Wood family, has been adopted in hia stead. The new ring is to comprise, first, Ben Wood and bis Mo- zarters ; second, the rag-tag and bobtail, bogus reformers, played out politicians, seedy sad needy employes and addle-pated capitalists of the Citizens’ Association, and third, as much of Thurlow Weed’s skeleton as he can collect to- gether. All the talk about whether Compitrol- ler Robinson’s honest band spurned Thurlow Weed’s corrupt hand for fear of catching the lobby measles is raised to divert the attention of the pnblic from this new ring until it gets strong enough to stand alone. The shabby retainers and wealthy nincompoope of the Citizens’ Association are supporting Ben Wood for everything he wants, and will, of course, go Fernando for next Mayor if Ben orders them to do #0. Thurlow Weed was committed to this Mayoralty programme by the Astor House ring. As for Brother Ben, he wins money enough at cribbage to afford to pay liberally for the services thua rendered pim gad bis family, supplied.

Sravr Tugstrs.—About a mouth ago a German actrese by the name of Ottilee Genee mado her délut at the Stadt theatre in this city, and a great deal of noise war made about her at the time, She was represented to be a comedienne of the first class; Dut on her first appearance it wat apparent that she was not an artiste of a clans as she had been represented. Toa certain degree this actress has been successful, for she has frequeatly drawn “crowded: houses.’ Last night a mew system of performances war inaugurated at the Stadt theaire, A combination a. French and German plays were represented, bat the am- dortuking proved to be a ‘failure, for onty a small audi- ence attended the theatre. There were four plays— short one-act comedies—represented, in all but one of which Mme, Ottiles Genee uppeared, who, bowover, is not sulliciently master of the French to succeed im those Fronch vaudeviiles, She acted im French a sc-ne comiyue entitled Folichuuetts aw bab ad: VOpera, a rather vulgar ‘and nonseasical representation, which ix her live. A Suit About a Kies was represented jn German, There is nothing in thu farce which entertains but the pranks of Madame Genee, who ropresvuted a young peasantress, Le Piano de Bertha ia « one act French comedy, in which Mme, Gonev, Mme, d’Auberval and Mons. Gravier appeared. The iatter are clever actors in their line, which is in the style of Ottilee Genee, Two other farces—-one French and the other German—were represented, Alt thess yeces ave devoid of any richness in the display of churacitra, but are calculated to serve as an exhibition of Madame Genee’s comic and peculiar style of acting, which her friends may call “origival,” It may be origiual, and perhaps she cannot be excelled; bat this style of acting is exces sive, if not improper and vulgar at times, and by ao means a trye dramatic representation of eharactorm Hor irregular personation of characters cannot be coa- sidered an improvement, She hus more favor among certain classes of playgoers, who relish this low, farcical: acting, and thus ahe bas been nuccessful to a certain de- yree. Mme. Geneo's performances are mainly confined to burlesques arid such plays, which are specially adapted for an exhibition of her tulentol making caricatures from dramatic chatacters. Anniv. oF So.on Smixat.x.—The celebrated comediag, Mr, Joho KE.

It appeuts, however, that he encountered from the theatr- cal profession of England, on the score of hin nationality, a autien and invidious opposition, which greatly detracted frou the effect of his efiorts, and rendered his profes sional experience anything else than agreeable. he likely he will appear at the Broadway theatre some ime during the fall.
