Perhaps the great amount of Easterly wind experienced in higher northern latitudes at this season may be related to this heaping up of air in the doldrums; for before Easterly winds can blow in our islands, the barometer must be higher to the northward than to the southward of them, and any check to the upper current which supplies air to the area of high pressure in about would tend to produce such a state of thingThe plain wind arrows show that the strongest Northeasterly wind is still in the northwestern corner of the square ; that theTrade has increased in force betweenand, especially on the western side of the square; also that betweenand the prevailing wind is still very northerly.The dotted wind arrows show that theTrade prevails up to, and that it is weaker and more easterly than the Isotherms of Air and Sea.The isotherms of air and sea are remarkably similar in their shape and positio The air still remains one degree colder than the sea.

By its means they are considerably compressed, and their vertical scales are rendered unifor The style of this pantagraph is a steel cutter, which scratches the reduced copies deeply into zinc plate A single zinc plate is allotted to each day at each statio The barogram and two thermograms are cut on its obverse, with fiducial marks attached, and the wind’s direction and velocity are cut on its reversThe wind velocity trace is divided by means of the same pantagraph into hourly sections, starting afresh from the same base linea plan which affords a more useful and intelligible representation than the original recor is due to Mr. De La RuIn respect of this mode of representation of the wind records, the Committee are glad to be able to say that it has received the approval of Dr. Romney Robinson, who is admittedly the highest living authority on all aneraometrical questions, and whose instrument has been adopted at the observatorie By his permission, they reproduce the following extract from a letter lately received from hii think the specimen curves which you have sent me are a great improvement on the former one.They are beautifully distinct, and the scale is quite sufficient to convey all needful informatioThe velocity lines in particular are a great improvement.Notwithstanding their want of parallelism, their extremities form a sufficient approximation to the velocity curve, of which I spoke in my last letter to you, to make an exact delineation of that curve unnecessary.In addition, the rainfall has been inserted for all the observatories at which it was measured at that tim The entry is made at 9 a., and refers to the preceding 24 hourThe accompanying diagram shows the exact size of these zinc plates, and contains the record for the observatory at Falmouth, for the storm in questioThe next step is to bring five of these zinc plates into a row with their fiducial lines carefully.

The next thing to be obserred

Thus God chose Momnt Sion, whence the gospel was to it sotmded forth, as the law had been from Mount Sinai.VIL here, is God’s solemnly renewing the covenant of grace with David and pwmking that the Messiah should be of his seed. We have in account . of it in the th chapter of the second book of Samuel. It wa done on occasion of the thoughts David entertained of building God an house. On this occasion God sends Nathan th prophet to him, with the glorious promises of the covenant of grace.’ It is especially contained hi these words in the th verse:And thy house and thy kingdom shall be est&bftshed for ever before thee ; thy throne shall be established for ever.” Which promise has respect to Christ, the seed of David, amIs iWfillwi in Mm mly: For the kingdom of David has long since ceased, any otherwise than as it is upheld in Christ. The temporal kingdom of the house of David has now ceased far a great many ages ; much longer than ever it stood.That this covenant that God Jiotr established with David by Nathan the prophet, was the covenant of grace, is evident by the plain testimony of scripture,Un Isa. Iv. There wt have Christ inviting sinners to come to the waters, &c. And in the d vecse he says, ” Incline your ear, come unto me ; hear, and your souls shall live ; and I will make with you an everlasting covenant, even the sure mercies of David. Here Christ offers to poor sinners, if they will come to Mm, to give them an interest in the same everlasting covenant that he had made with David, conveying to them the same sure mercies. But what is that covenant that sinners obtain m interest m, rhen they come to Christ, buj the covenant of grace IThis was the fifth solemn establishment of the covenant of grace with the diurch after the fall. The covenant of grace was revealed and established all along. But there had been particular seaton wherein God had in a very solemn manner renewed this covenant with his church, gmng forth a new edition and estabfi&hment of it, revealing it m a new manner.

The coolie’s station was inside the boat, where I was. and the other man was to keep watch in the afterpart of the boat, where the cooking department was camea on. now long tnese sentries        kept watch I cannot tell, but when I awoke, some time before the morning dawned, the dangers of the place seemed to be completely forgotten, except perhaps in their dreams, for I found them sound asleep. heavily, and no one seemed to have harmed us during our slumbers. I now roused the whole of them, and. the morning being fine, we proceeded on our journey towards the citynangchowfoo.During this three days’ journey we had been passing through a perfectly level country, having seen oniv tnree or iour smau s near tne citv oi Sungkiangfoo. Now, however, the scene began to change, and the hills which gird this extensive plain on the west and southwest sides came into view. We passed a town named Tansee, which is on the side of the grand canal on which we were now sailing. Tansee is a bustling town of considerable size, a few miles to the northeast of Hangchowfoo. The appearance of the flat country here was rich and beautiful. Still the mulberry was seen extensively cultivated on all the higher patches of ground, and nee occupied the low wet land.As we approached Hangchow the vegetation of the country was richer and under a higher state of cultivation than any which had come under my notice in other parts of China. It reminded me of the appearance which those highly cultivated spots present near our large market towns in England. Here were beautiful groves of the loquat Eriobotrya japonica yangmai Mynca sp., peaches, plums,         oranges, and all the fruits of Central China, in a high state oi cultivation.The country around Hangchowfbo may well be called “the garden of China.” The grand canal, with its numerous branches, not only waters it, but also affords the means of travelling through it, and of conveying the productions for which it is famous to other districts. The hills in the background, the beautiful bay which comes up to the town and stretches far away towards the ocean, and the noble nver which here falls into the bay. all contribute to render the scenery strikingly beautiful.On the evening of the nd of October I approached the suburbs of Hangchowfooone of the largest and most flourishing cities in the richest district of the Chinese empire. The Chinese authorities have always been most jealous of foreigners approaching or entering this town.

We laid schemes to elude ihe careless watch of our parents, and succeeded to admiration. In such circumstances you will not wonder, sir. that we became mutual tempters and seducers : jthat. having no regular and proper employment for our time, we became proficients in many vices which we chose as sources of amusement, such as gambling and its concomitants.u Were I to give a recipe for the rum of a young man.

Thus Mrs Graham, ia her account

The Sea is violently agitated ; but it is maintained by some, that during earthquakes, as well as during volcanic erup-tions, the atmosphere does not in any corresponding degTce par-ticipate in the agitation experienced by the crust of the globe and tbe water* which partially cover it.340Although great portions of the globe arc removed from the destructive influence of earthquakes, it is remarked that no region of the earth ia entirely unviaited by them. In the lamentable catastrophes which result from great subterranean commotions, the destruction of cities and of human life, and the alteration* of the surfacc produced by alips, subsidences, elevations, and fissures, earthquakes are familiar to all readers ; few relations, even of war and conquest, exciting the emotions of the human breast more powerfully than those mysterious heaving* of the earth which spread consternation and dismay among it* inhabitant*. But an effect of earthquakes more especially insisted upon by Mr Lyell, in his Principles of Geology, requires to be noticed. It consists of a general elevation of the districts which are the seat of subterranean agency. of some effects of the late earthquake* in Chili, published in the Geological Transactions, Vol. I. Second Series, gives the following statement The first abock, by which the towns of Valparaiso, Meb’pella, Qui I lota, and Casa Blanca, were almoet destroyed, and Santiago much damaged, was felt at a quarter post ten in the evening of lite 19th November 1822. It lasted three minutes. It was a very still and clear moonlight night; the aurora australis had been visible, and some lightning had been seen over the Andes. In a few minutes after the first shock, there was another less severe, and from that time, the whole night long successive shocks were felt twice in every five minutes. On the morning of the 20th there were three violent shocks, and the earth continued trembling in the intervals. The day was hot and sunny, with wind ; the night clear and windy. On the 21st seven violent shocks were felt, tbe weather continuing as on the preceding day. On the morning of the 22d three violent shocks occurred ; a little before ten three successive loud explosions were heard, the earth trembling very much after each explosion; at eleven was another violent shock, and between that and one were three slight ones.

When questioned if she |had known the deceased, Julia answered that she had seen him three times in her life. Once upon a wharf near the Battery, ^ where she had wandered with flowers and fruit, which she” wished to sell. He then purchased a few of her flowers, and presented them to a lady who had left a southern vessel with him but a few moments before. She described how he had driven away with the lady at his side, and said at that time she never expected to have seen him again” But you did see him again,” said the examining connscl * Tell ns where aud how 7″194” It was in October, the evening before hebefore he died. I was going np town with some flowers, which a lady had ordered for a ball she gave that night. It was rather late when TI started from Dunlap’s, and I walked fast, fearing to lose my way after dark. This man saw me as I was passing a honse with a flower-garden in front, and a pretty fountain throwing np water among the dahlias and chrysanthemums; I was out of breath, and walked a little slower just then, for the water-drops as they fell were like music, and everything around was so lovely that I could not find it in my heart to walk fast. I did not stop; but Mr. Leicester saw me and wanted me to sell my flowers. I told him no; but he would have them, and almost pushed me, basket and all, through the gate and into the house.”" Well, what passed in the house ?”" He took me up Btairs into a chamber, and there I saw tho same lady that was with him on the wharf, alone, and dressing herself in some beautiful clothes that lay about. She asked me to help her, and I did. She took some of my flowers for her hair and her dress. I was in a great hurry, and wished to go, but she begged me to stay a few minutes longer, and I could not refuse.

My heart hath been weighed

Awake! and arise from the dust, and hear the words of a trembling parent, whose limbs ye must soon lay down in the cold and silent grave, from whence no traveller can return; a few more days, and I go the way of all the earth. But behold, the Lord hath redeemed my soul from hell: I have beheld his glory, snd I am encircled about eternally in the arms of his love. And I desire that ye should remember to observe the statutes and the judgments of the Lord: behold, this hath been tho anxiety of my soul, from the beginning. down with sorrow from time to time; for I have feared, lest for the hardness of your hearts, the Lord your God bould come out in the fullness of his wrath upon you, that je be cut off and destroyed forevor; or, that a cursing should come upon you for the space of msny generations; and ye aro visited by sword, ana by famine, and are hated, and ore led according to the will and captivity of the devil. O my sons, that these things might not come upon you, but that ye might be a choice and a favored people of the Lord. But behold, his will be done: for his ways are righteousness forever; and he hath said, that inasmuch as ye shall keep my commandments, ye shall prosper in the land; but inasmuch as ye will not keep my commandments, ye hall be cut off from my presence. And now that my soul might have joy in yon, and that my heart might leave this world with gladness because of you; that I might not be brought down with grief and sorrow to the grave, arise from the dust, my sons, and be men, and be determined in one mind, and in one heart united in all things, that ye may not come down into captivity; that ye may not bo cursed with a sore cursing; and also, that ye may not incur the displeasure of a just God upon you, unto the destruction, yea, the eternal destruction of both soul and body. Awake, my sons: put on the armor of righteousness. Shake off the chains with which ye are bound, and come forth out of obscurity, and arise from the dust. Rebel no more against your brother, whose views havo beenrious, and who bath kept the commandments from the e that we left Jerusalem, and who hath been an instrument in the hands of God, in bringing us forth into the land of promise; for were it not for him, we-must have perished with hunger in the wilderness; nevertheless, ye sought to take sway his life:
