Of course, gentlemen, a neighborhood such as I hire feeblytteuipted to describe to you is tiie fruitful source of misery, disease, and crime.

You no doubt feel after ' yon have visited it, as I have felt ever since my visit to it, us though you had been within the precinots of the loner world, and in the preseuce of the lost spirits. If the citi zens of I'hiladelphia could see for tbemyelvcs this plKue epot in their midst they would, not tolerate Jts existence for a single week. Roliinon, justice, and Uie welfare of society alike demand Its destruction. A noble Christian charity, known us the Bedford Ktreet Mission, is laboring faitlitully and ear nestlyintbe midst, ot this desolation, but the countless mm shops which infest the neighborhood with iluur poi Mnous ami fiery drinks, more than counteract the iiulu inee which moral suasion and religious UHclling can ac complish. lam informed that that valuable and efficient officer, Sergeant Dnffv, and the officers associated with him m e faithfully discharging their duty in this infected district But their labors will tie greatly assisted by invokimc against these violators of the law the penalties which are )ue to those eff onses. The law of Pennsylvania prohibits any porson keening and maintaining a common, ill governed, and disorderly bouse or place, to the encouragameut of iolous, gamin.:, drinking, or other inislieliavii.r, to the common nuisance ' or disturWace of the neighborhood or ordot ly citi.ens. It also prohibits the wilfully furnishing- intoxica ting drinks, by sale, gilt, or olluu vvi.-o, to any person of known intemperate habits, to a minor, or to an insane person, or to auy person vtuen drunk or in toxicated. At common law it is an otfeuso to maintain any thing which la detrimental and hurtful to the health, peace, and morals ot the publio at Urge. Such persons van be prosecuted for maintaining a common nuisance. All theso offenses are misdemeanors, and are punishable ty tine and imprisonment.

The variation of time with the chango of place Is a very curious fact, and sometimes loadu to very cniious result, a traveller crosslnrf the Atlantic, for Instance, If going towards tho cast, has to keep setting his watch forward all the time, and If towards tho west backward. Tho difference In time for different longitudes Is greater than some people imagine. Ilctween New Vork and London there is some live hours' difference, llet.ween Phila delphia and ritndinrg the difference Is considerable. Kven between I'ltlladclphla and Mew York, there Is ipiue a perccpnnie dissimilarity. Perhaps the most noticeable Irregularity Is between tho solar t ime of the Slate House, at Sixth and Ches nut, and that of the Spring Harden Hall, at Thirteenth mul Spring (iarden streets. The distance between these two meridians Is probablv less t han one degree, but the dillereuco in tlnio Is usually from live to twenty minutes. Wha-. Is still morn anomalous ia that the variation Is often in a contrary direction from what we should expect from the general rules of such things. The second named meridian is to the westward of the II rat. The sun renches It Inter, and the dial hands shonld point, to an earlier hour. Hut In madly the hands of the western meridian often point to a later hour than those of the eastern. Vhv Is this? Cannot somo philosopher ex-plain the cause '.' for cause there must be. The peculiarity lias not been recorded for auv other spot. I'itrhap.1 we are ou the brink or soino great discovery. I.ot-Ai.

It will be chiefly important, how ever, as the means of opening a communication with the mines, which will enable coal to be shipped nt all seasons of the year. This is a matter of the tlrst consequence, as every shipper or cual knows, and the effect til the road will be to develop our mining resources, and to give a fresh Impetus to the coal trade. The loan is well secured, und it oilers tuiusuul inducements to capitalists. Saif.
