Thirty years ago more now feU In thie region than now fall* in the winter eeaeone, end it generally laid l»«er on the croand. There wee then usually several weeks of good'eleighing. We hawTisd but little good sleighing in the vicinity of Pittsburgh during any Winter for several year*. Leas enow falls now in each winter, and it eoon melts away. Thie win ter may possibly prose an exoeption. Another foot is noticeable. The rirera are too low for navigation more months of the year now than thirty years ago. 11 For the lest year there were about seven mouths that the larger olase of steamboats could not run between Pittsburgh and Cincinnati, and for eome portion of that time there was not water enough to float the smallest dess of steamers. The Ohio and Alle gheny rivers are lest useful now for navigation than formerly, and the same would be true of the Monongabela but for the slack-water im provement Those who have kept rain guages In thle region for several years past will doubt less attest the faot that the quantity of rain that • falls each year is dimishing. The averjge-of rain each year was formerly from 22 to 2ff inches; hardly ever lees than 22 inohes or more than 26 in the form of rain, snow and hail. For the last - three years it has not reaohed the lowest figure; ■F and for the year 1854 it did not reaoh 18 inches. Bains and snows sufficient to make 24 inches of water in twelve months, if distributed in the I usual way through tiiat period, would keep the Ohio navigable nearly all the year round for smell boats, and at least fwo-tbirda of the ylar for boats of the largest class. But with oily about 18 Inohes falling in the year, the T Siue of the river as a channel of oommerce is greatly reduced. Whether thie ehapge, and thle diminished sup ply of water, are ts-oontinue hereafter must de pend upon the causes towhieh the change is at tributable. If It je to continue, the improvement of our rivers by locks and dams, or some other means, beoomes a matter of great importance to the cities and towns, and the vast region of country that depend on the rivers for thd supply of food and fuel, aud for the general prosperity of trade and business. We may venture to in dioats some of the causes of this diminished supply of wate/. A third of a century ago more than,two thirds of Allegheny county, and of the neigh boring counties, were covered with forests. And in fact it may be said that three-fourths of the soil of all the regions of Pennsylvania, New Fork, Ohio and Virginia, from whioh come -the supplies of water for our rivers, thirty years ago were covered with forests. There can be no doubt that forests attract olouds and storms. They not only supply, by eontlnual and gradual evaporation, the moisture that forms clouds, but ' they attract the storm olouds; and receive them. more frequent and. abundant discharges " 0 f rain and snow than eleared and cultivated re gions. The gradual clearing up and settlement, then, of the wide regions from which oo’me the supplies of water for our rivers, may be set down as one cause of the diminished supply. A million people now dwell in those regions. A third of a oentury ago soaree ono-fifth that popu lation dwelt therein. The forests have receded and fallen before the maroh of settlement and cultivation; and over a great portion of those regions the oleared and cultivated lands now outmeasura In extent the lands still oovered by the primitive forests. From the cleared lands, too, ths water that falls in eaoh storm Is sooner taken up by evaporation, or drained eff by the otreams, than from forest lands; and the bene flt to navigation is diminished. This fret, how ever, would not aecount for the diminution of the fall of rain jn each year; and it must be mainly to the “ disaforesting ” of the country. pfe believe, too, that our climate is under going other material ohanges. They are gradual, * and to ths casual.obseiiver perhaps impercepti ble. But as the country beoomes more thickly settled, and the forests recede, and the lands are more fully cultivated, the causes which pro duos fever and ague U its various forms, and bilious diseases, disappear. The climate be oomes more uniform; aubjeot to less frequent ohanges, and probably somewhat colder in win ter and warmer in summer. Severe droughts \ Will become more frequent. Diminished crops trill tesnlt from the wearing out of the land, and the reduced supply of nutriment and strength the soil receives from decaying vegetation and abundant rains. Thirty or forty years hence it may be as difficult to raise wheat in Allegheny county as upou the worn*'out fields of New Eng land The yield - of wheat bets is less per acre . now than formerly, and it may soon become an unprofitable crop. As the soil wears out by cropping, and the oountry is drained and be oomes more dry by cultivation, the olimate ohanges. It may become more healthy. At any rate, the nature of ~ the prevalent diseases will ohange. Fever and ague will disappear, and bilious complaints probably give plaoe to i y fevers, dyspepsia and Those who ’ have resided long In this region, and have csre -3 folly noted the changes going on around them, & Will probably confirm our remarks. The expe _ S riehce and observation of a fat years would not be euffiolent for their confirmation. But through * period of thirty years these changes have been going on, and are very manifest. . 5 Some practical-lessons may be derived from these gradual changas in our olimate and soil, /«» aid the effects produced thereby. Farmers should manure their lands, and keep up their strength; and not wait till they are worn out before attempting to revive them. Growing wool and etook is more profitable than selling 1 hay and wheat; and the land will last longer. Cultivating small farms well, will in the end SeTi'prove far more profitable than half cultivating large ones.’-' * As the population of this region, and of the - whole West increases, the constant navigation of the rivers beoomes every year more desirable; . ,et that constant navigation can only be ee oureiMSy looks and dams, or other expensive im 3provements, as the volume of water annually discharged by the rivers is diminishing. There “.doubt of the faot that the quantity of ' water discharged by the Ohio has been less for the last few years than formerly, and such will, profebly oontlnue to be ths ease. It i. equally : truethat ths amount of business that would have been done by the river, bad it been all the time In a navigable condition, would have been neater within the last few years then ever be- SnaXhe population Is Increasing if* *- if . ‘ i between the .east and west Is increasing; more Wvmti.^mdmmnfr.turman.w^ every year in the towns below; yet the river b beooming less reHabl. and usefbl.

Some families go whole days without food or fuel; and praise-worthy as are the exer tions of individuals and societies, they eannot reach all the eases of destl utioa in our midst. There is a want of .funds. Most other cities of the country have appro priated coniiderabls sums this winter for the relief of tho poor. Why don’t our Councils fol low, the example ? No one would otject to the] appropriation of a reasonable sum for the pur chase of.ooal, food and clothing for the destitute and suffering in this hard winter.

Mxao^.— A letter from Mr. Walsh, in the Journal of Committee, dated Paris, January 18th, says: “ Our worthy Minister, Mr. Mason, is con* valescent His mind has not been affected by the paralytio stroke experienced in his left arm. A member of my family oonvened with him yes terday in his ohamber. He waa seated by the fire, and talked both lucidly and cheerfully.” [from the Philadelphia Ledger.] New Tarn In the Destiny of the Band* Very trifliSg events sometimes make marked I changes in political destinies, as individual cir* 1 oumstances. Old King Kamehameba 111, of the Sandwich Islands, having died, and the event I duly proolaimed by the firiog of minnte guns | from Punch-bowl Battery, M a very proper se* 1 lection, considering the old King’s fondness I of whisky, his son, Prince Alexander Liholiho, has encceeded to.the title of King Kamehame* ha IV. Hia defunct Majesty was very desirous of annexing his the United States, he receiving a compensation for his resignation of regal honors, which would have kept him pretty wall supplied for the rest of his life with ammunition, for his punch-bowl battery. The yonng King is, however, a different kind of I an individual, with very different inclinations, | different tastes, different ambition, and entirely i different pohtioal views. He prefers being a king, i even of ooral reefs, to a plain sovereign in the i United States, and the project of annexation Is i crashed before it has had time to blow into full i blossom. - The..young king will be twenty- one i years old on the 9th of February. He is a man of good ability, having had a good English edu cation, and has traveled through the United States, Eogland and Franoe. Hitherto he haa given himself np to pleasure to a great extent, for want, probably of better oocnpation; but it U Is reported now. that he Is determined to give np his billiard and card associates, and turn Over a new leaf. The only annexation he desiree Is with a young English lady, with whom he has been deeply smitten, and who, it is supposed, will smile very approvingly on a suit which puts queenly robe upon her biaok. Love and ambi tion will accomplish, therefore, what craxy Con sul Miller ootid not effeot with all hiseloquenoe, all his mendaetonsness, and all his threats. The Sandwich Islands will still sit m triumph on the bosom, of the Pacific, shining in regal glory in the the pathway almost of the gold* enamored Yankee republicans.

So also, oar friends Fahnestooh, Ward, Small, Armstrong, and a host of others hare been eruehed out by the overwhelming power of the Uagve, (the first magnanimously given way to others) and Mr. Magee has been proclaimed Master of the Seale. \ It is not questioned bat that he will make an ' exoallent officer? tad fulfil the of those ! who so euooeiafnlly urged his nomination, yet 'any of the others were equally meritorious. What springs In the new order have been touched to accomplish the foregoing results, "I don’t know,” and It will pexile the initiated to “ know ” any thing about it. Thomas J. Power, of Beaver, has been ap pointed Adjutant General; an appointment which oannot take effect, It will be found, until Gen. Bowman's three years' term of service expires, wbieh will bs in about eighteen months I Stephen Miller, of Danphin couoty, will be appointed Flonr Inspector for Philadelphia. Stephen is a double-edged sword as an editor and politician; has many good qualities, and will not fail to labor for bis peculiar K. N. order. Sellers, from one of the north-eastern coun ties, will be Whisky Inspector of Philadelphia. This will make trouble with the legion of appli cants in Philadelphia, and may produce a re bound calculated to aid the enoccse of J. Murray Both for Btate Senator. However, there are a great number of other positions in Philadelphia connected with Laxaretto, Board of Health, &o. It is understood that the Governor, in his so lioitude to do right, consulted with the respect ive delegations to the matter of the foregoing appointmentsa wise precaution, every ooe will admit. The Executive difficulties are but oommenciog difficulties that will have no exodue hot with the expiration of his term of office. Mr. M'Glure, of Chsmberebnrg Whig, a gen tleman who illostratee the editorial chair, #ill bo appointed “Superintendent of Publio Print tag,” in plnoe of the present excellent incum bent, Mr. Coroman. The position has been graoed by Mr. Cornman, and he will no doubt be gratified^that he is to be followed by so worthy a cillxen. We part from Cornman retuctantly, bat cheerfally extend a (greeting to bis intelli gent successor.

Mr. Kirkpstriok met some unmeaning objection, vol unteered by the Rev. Mr. Clapp, and left the. Reverend gentleman in confusion worse ooofused. . Messrs. M’Gowan and Lewis appear delighted with this early quietiog of their doubts regard ing the passage of tho bill at so early a period m almost impracticable. This closed the business of the House, which adjourned at 12 M.

It is believed, however, that cer tain appointments, without the knowledge of the Governor, have been pressed and obtained, un der infiaeneee aiming at the elevation to that post of a person connected with the government; and It Is said that new oounty projects and rail road improvements are in the scale for some one or other o( the aspirants. I think, however, these are rumors without foundation, as legisla tion on those subjects and the business of the Exeoative Departments go on smoothly and rapidly. ' Secretaries Curtin and Sullivan, and the Depu ty Superintendent of Common*- Schools, Mr. Hiekoock, are courteous and obliging officers.
