Esrv, who has liaissori mach celebrity by his "Theory of Sturgis," and his researhes in the S Id of 54Pteloi leen! Science for a cop' , of his first report on Meteorology. We are gratified to note that the government had not been emnindful of the exalted merits of Dr Espy as a Man oc Science, and he has been attached to the Surgeon General's Office, and has thereby attained means bad facilities to pursue the scientific of jeMs be has in view. It might he welt if the aid of govern ment were more liberally dispensed in aiding the scientific labors of men of acknowledged talents and learning. The Report before us is the first elan annual series tobe made by Dr. Espy t, the Surgeon General. They are to be based upon the facts obtained by the research es and observations of the writer, and of other persons at the various military stetions of the U. States, a , messy schools and colleges, and other places. In De. comber, 1842, Dr ESPY p reparcd the form of a Meteor ological Journal, copies of which he sent to those wbo wouldstarefully keep them, in rill sections of tlria country, and throughout the world. Ilk tit t pose was to ascertain "all the most important phases of the great norms which come within the range of the simultaneous ob servations; and thus it is hoped that we shall be able to determine the shape and sire of all storms, wheth er they are round or oblong; and if oblong. whrth. , r they move ride foremost orend foremost, or obliquely; and their velocity of motion and the direction which they take in all different seasons ofthe year; the course that the wind blows in and beyond the borders of the storm; theffuctuation of the barometer and change of temperature ts Lich generally accompany storms, rind the extent to which their influence is felt beyond their borders." His plan has been attended with much success. More than fifty persons who note the barometer, and more than sixty others who have no barometers, have commenced sending in journals. By these means he hepes to obtain information that may give form and ' exactness to his Theory of Storms, and his Report is made up of the result of the observations of his cor respondents, taken at 3 o'clock, F. M. of each day, frornJan 7, till March 31, 1893. In regard to Dr Eser'S Theory of producing vain in a time of drought, we extract the following para graphs from his report. "In case any one has a salt mnrsh or prairie which he wishes to burn, or a large mass of timber from clearing of land, preserve these combustiblea„ till the time of a drought, if one should occur: then choose a very calm and clear day, and without eight o'clock in the morning take a tumbler of cold water, in the open air* in the shade, and with a thermometer find the highest temperature of the water when it is just cold enough to cause the moisture in the air to con dense on the tumbler. This highest temperature is called thedew-point. If this should not be more than six or eight degrees (the leas the better) belo•v the temperature of the sir, everything is then favorable at the surface of the earth for the production of rain. Set ftre.to your combustibles at many places in the circumference at once. Immediately an up-moving column of air will be produced; and if it is not bent oat of a perpendicular motion, by an upper current of of air, - it will begin to for-rn a cloud when its top reach es as many hundred yards high as the dew•point is below the temperature of the air in degrees of Fah renheit. Watch the subsf quent phenomena, and describe (hem to me. "If it rains, it will not extend much to the west: 'but it Is probable that it will widen out from the place of beginning, and become a general rain to the east. "If it should not rain, it will be prevented by one of two causes:an upper current of air, sweeping dia l up-moving column out of the perpendicular; or an 1 upper stratum too warm and light to let tire up-mo- ! ring column swim in it." The Doctordesires that particular attention should he paid to the fact that noartificisl means can produce rain, Ishii° there is any wind. But we must say that the making of rain a: any time is attended with so much uncertainty, and must be accomplished under such very peculiar circumstances, that that part of the' theory is not of much value. If the weather is just' tight below, and the indications on the "tumbler' , should be entirely favorable, there is no certainty that the 'upper current" or the "upper stratum," above, may not destroy the labor of the "drouthy eight," who would, like the British at Orleans, have to expend his "combustible*" for nothing. The author states in a note that various experiments ha, e been made and extensive rains produced—all of which fell east of the place where the fires were lighted. But although this part of the Doctor's theory may he imperfectand unsatisfactory. enough has been elicited toencourage him and his disciples to persevere in their ' researches. The folks% jog, ale among the “generali zationa" which have been deduced from the facts goal" cred into the Repoli: 4 '161.

Thn velocity of this line is such. ihnt it travels from the Mississippi to the Connecticut river in it bout twenty-fenr bows; and from the Connecticut to St. Johns, Newfoundland, in nearly the Su m e time, or about rhirty-aix miles en hour. 10th. Many storms are of great and unknnn•n length from the north to the south, leaching beyond our ob a.ervers on the Gulf .1 Mexico and on the northern lakes, while their east and west diameter is compel-- ativoly small.

In the northern parts of the United States, the wind, in great storms, generally sets in from the north of east, and terminates from the north of west. 19th. In the southern part of the United States the wind generally sets in From the south of east, and ter minates from the south of west. 20th. During the passage of storms, the win.' gen erally changes from the eastward to the westward by the south, especially in the southern Farts of the Uni ted Stars. How far these generalizations will apply to other months of the same year, or even to the same months of different years, remains to be seen by future inves tigations. Whatever may be the result, the facts which will be collected and imbodied cannot tail to be of the highest interest and utility, especially if they shall be found to unite in one grand theory which ex plains all the phenomena."

MOST UNFORTUNATE.-0118 of our must worthy citizens has been burnt-out no leas than four tithe, within the last two months. He was one of the ma ny hundreds who suffered on the 10th of April; on the 9.7 th of May he was again caught in the fire on 7th street; from there be moved to Brighton, Beaver Co., where his ill luck appeared to follow him, and he was again burnt out by the fire that occurred in that place. Since then helms been purchasing thingt, to make an other start, and we understand they were all consumed in one of the buildings that was burnt on Penn street :kesterdny morning E 'fir JANWION, thq Supervisor on the Western division of the Canal, is in town, and has had (or will have) an interview w ith the Committee of Councils relative to cleaning oat the canal, from the basin to the Monongahela river, and putting it itt order. Mr 1. is disposed to assist in the work, which he thinks is necessary and useful, and will join the Councils in car rying out the object. He does not propose to employ luck-keepers, but to let owners of boats who wish to use the canal and the locks, lake their own hoists through. iVhether the canal and tunnel are used or not, they should he thoroughly cleansed, fur they are now mere receptacles of filth which emits a most abomniable stench in many places. THE FATED ENVOYS —The Pennsylvanian says, misfortune and misadventure seem to have dogged the footsteps of Mr Commissioner Elliott, recently sent out to Texas and Mexico by the British Government, as perseveringly as they have our own unfortunate and extraordinary envoy. The question is daily asked, "where is her —"what has become of him?"—but the only answer that can be returned is, that the latest in telligence from him stated that while on his way from Vera Cruz to Mexico he had met with an extraordi nary adventure, Laving been rubbed of his despatches, money and clothes, even his shoes wete taken from him, and he was left with nothing but his _shirt. II it should prove tree that Ex-Govet Le Shannon has really betuken himself to a monastery, it may in the end be discovered that Mr Commissioner Elliott has retired from the world with him—there are many things more improbable. Mr Clay has signified to the Historical Socie ty of New York, who consulted him on the propriety of changing the name of the U. S. to that of Allegania or Washington, that he has no "personal objection" to gee it changed to the latter, '•hut on the contrary would be glad to see it, without war. without dishon or. with the common coasent of the Union, and on just and fair toms." This letter appears to ben mattrr to get into the public journals, but it served as a pretext to keep Mr Clay ''before the pe.sple," and that it is the main object they had in view in its publication. There are almost a. many of Mr Clay's letters pub. li.hed now as there werebefore his last defeat. He can not speak of a bale of hemp or a steamboat trip, that does not find its way into the whig journals, with a par ticular call to the public to "rend the letter from the Hon Henry Clay" published in their columns. From the number of leuers which he is still wri ting, and the various journeys which he contemplates taking to different parts of the country, we are encour. aged in the hope that the whigs intend to have him on the Piesidential course once more in 1843. There is no doubt but Clay's ambition still hopes to attain the station for whict he has struggled so long and reser ted to so many means to win. If be desires the num inati6n, the whig party, dare not say him nay; their hest leaders are his devoted friends, and the rank and file dare not oppose the schemes that they may sug gest for the mere followers to support. If our neigh• bor of the Gazette has not returned to the bonds of masonic obligation, perhaps ha condescend to en lighten the public a little on this subject and let u■ know whether he is willing to again excerciw hi■ musical powers in Singing "Oh, Gallant Harry Clay." :, - -P"A note on the Bank of Xenia came into our possession, from the back of which we copy the follow ing extracts.

That might he called profoundly moral and senti- ' mental. If the gentlemen who penned these remarks feel any interest in the fate of the note they endorsed in so unique a manner, we mny inform them that it was doing well when we lost saw:it—but of . its where abouts we know nothing at present, having sent it on its "winding way" immediately. A LL is NuT GOLD TUT GLITTZRS.—No, nor yet . silver; as appears by the ultimate history of the 40 odd thousand Spanish dollars, of ancient date and appear.; mice, which were exhumed, lately, by the fall of a tree, somewhere in Geor b ia. The coins, on closer examination, prove to be a countatfeit—a base mix ture of copper arid zinc, with a thin coat of silver wash. the finder, however, is not utterly without cause for thanks to his good luck; the dollars are worth some hundreds, it is said, as bell-metal. rp. The Amount of specie exported from N. Y. be tween the 16th of 11Iay and the lit inst., wus $158,281; of which about $140,000 went to France. INDIANA MONEY.—The Sc. Louis New Era has an article in which it is recommended to commercial men to send the State Bank of Indiana homeward, on the alleged ground that its circulation is altogether too large for safety. NAVIGATIoN.—The river at. Cincinnati on Friday was falling with 31 water to Louisville. On Thursday morning at Louisville there was 3j ft water in the Caral and at a stand. The Arkansas is again quite low and falling—while the Red River is on a stand and in good boating order. The Cumberland is extremely low and navigation nearly stopped. Flour is selling in Cincinnati at $3,75. 14hisliey at 18. cents. IMPORTA 6T DrCIMON.—IC has been decided by Judge Nelson, that if the proprietor of a new invention sells even one of his articles before he has taken out his patent, he thereby loses his exclusive claim: the sale is held to he an abandonment of the invention to the public. This is a new decision—the opposite doc trine having been heretofore held at the Patent Of fice. ATTEMPTED MURDER AND SCICIDP:.—The Penn , sylvanian of Saturday Pays: ''Yesterday afternoon a bout 5 o'clock, a colored Lather named George South ard, whose shop i• in sth street. above Chesnut, went to a house in a small court running out of St. Mary's street above7th, and drawing a pistol shot a woman named Elizabeth Bellard in the right side, from which ;round she is not likely to recover. He then drew a• nother weapon and placing the muzzle to his neck fi red, and so eß•ctive was the shot that death ensued immediately. The deceased has a wife and children, but also was intimate with the above woman. The cause of the rash act is attributed to his being jealous of her. OUTRAGE IN lowx.—The St. Louis Republican states that Mr Rigg4, the sheriff of Schlayer county, Las been seized by the authorities of lowa and bound with ropes, and is now confined in jail in Van Buren comity, in Iowa; all fur the offence of exercising the duties of his office as sheriff, within the boundaries of Missouri, as established by law for many years past , and within our constitutional limits. itlay 28, 1395. Mr. Entron: Tu correct misrepresentations and to relieve the anxiety of tile many friends of General Mc.. Duffle, I ant induced to report the state of his health at this moo. Since the general's return from Washington he has been incessantly engaged in superintending and direct ing his plantation affairs. The exercise and excite ment connected with this, had a favorable influence on his health until lately, and he hail beenme much more vigorous than he was during the .winter. Since the weather became 'maim lie continued to walk and fatigue himself imprudently on his plantation. Ha awoke on the morning of the 20th instant, feeling some stiffness and numbness in his right arm and kg, and concluded exercise would relieve it. He walked two miles to oiled his fields where his hands were at work, and became more feeble, and had to take his over arm to enable him to return to his house. He laid down and soon after was conscious he had lust the partial use of his right arm and leg. His head and intellect are not affected in the slightest degree. The muscles of the face ore unharmed. The sensi bility of the arm and kg is not impaired the least. and helms perfect command over and use of item of the muscles of those members. His general health is as good as it was previous tot he attack. He remained at my house within a mile of his plan tation, from the time he was attacked till the morning of the 23th insr. After being assisted in his carriage lie was then able to drive himself to Cherry Hill, a distance of 10 miles. I visited the general yesterday. and was gratified to find him have more use of hi. arm and hand than he had a few days previously. Ile hind written a short note. and signed his I:sine readily to a letter or two which 1 wrote for him. I have been somewhat minute. but I am sure this te• port from his attending phpician will he satisfactory to his friends. H. H. TOWNES. Gen. Houston', Spred" at New Orleans.—The New Orleans Arcade nes filled to an overflow on the es ening of the 28th oh., t hear Gen Houston's pro- mised speech on Textiq and Annexation. He com menced by complait.ing of an emtrirrassed tion. But he was animated by the reflection that the first meeting in behalf of the early struggle of the Texans for independence we, held in the snore Hall. and he seized the opportunity of returning thanks for the manifold favors they had since received from that city and the Urited. States. li e then briefly review ed the histo.ty of the revolution and its cau4etr—vindi cated his own administration, and repelled the charge that the Texans had emigrated for the purpose of rubbing Mexico of her dominions. While in office, he had never deigned to notice the charges of bribery, corruption and other misdemeanors against himself, and vras now content to invite a comparison of the country at the commencement of his administration in 113 4 I,and its present condition. The Bulletin of the `29th sketches his remarks concerning Annexation— by which it would appear that the consummation of that measure is next to certain. P. FLORENCE DEPENDENCE UPON THE NORTH - . The '•Augusta (Ga.) Chronicle" thus MITI up Southern dependence upon the North. "They build our houses, they adorn them with fur niture, and supply them with every comfort nod con venience of which we have ever ro njre t ored. They educate our chilli n. and cover our nakedness from head to foot, with hats and shoes. coats and shirts— we eat their flour, cheese, butter. apples, codfish, po tatoes , pickles, pork and onions--we feed our castle with their hay, drive their horses in their harness to their carriages, with their whips—we walk with their sticks, rile on their saddles, write on their paper, wash with their soap, scrub with their brushes, sweep is id; their brooms, milk in their pails, cook in their pots, strike with their hammers, blow with their bel low+, cut with their axes, sow with their seeds, reap with their hooks, pull with their leather, white wash with :heir lime, paint with their paint, march by their tunes, road by their lights, drink their Congress wa ter and rum, smoke their cigars—and last best of all these blessings, we marry their pretty girls, who make the best of wives." To which the "New Orleans Republican" thus re- "This is all true, but there is nn necessity for it.— Every one of the articles above enumerated can be made at home. IVe have the timber, the metals, the water power and the mechanics, if they were encour aged. Our soil produces every thing,and our climate is more favorable than in any other portion of the Union. But it is the fashion to spend our summers at the North, when we have watering places far more convenient, luxuries more agreeable. It is the fashion to buy at the North, and risk all the hazards of trans portation, when we may buy cheaper at home. It is the fashion even to have houses built at Cincinnati, when we have hundreds of contractors here in our midst who will undertake on the same, or even lower terms, and do the work better. As fur marrying the girls, we have nothing to ob ject to on that point. New F.ngland women are so justly renowned for all that renders the sez the pride and ornament of creation, that we can never break up the dependence complained of. and would not if we could." From the Charleston Memory MR. McDUFFIE. I.ODI7IoNT, Aneftritt.E DisTrucT, S. C., Domestic Exports during lke last Fiscal Year. —The National Intelligencer publishes a table which has been compiled with great care from the "annual statement of the commerce and nnvigntion of the Uni ted'States for the year ending June 30th, 1844." It shows, at a glance,the amount ofthe principal articles of exports, the growth and manufacture of the United States, and to what countries they have been respective ly exported; and also a lineal view of the amount in value which each country has taken from us. The fol lowing are the totals of the table, comprising the value of each nrticle exported, and the aggregate value of the whole: Cotton, $54,063,501 Tobacco, 8,397,282 Rice, 2,182,468 Vegetable fond and bread stuffs, 9,056,969 Animal food and live animuls, 6,149,379 Del ived from the seat 3,350,501. Derived from the fores t , 5,808,712 Manuftictutes of Cotton, 2.898,930 Other Manufactures, 5,030,854 All other articles nut enumerated 2,726,760 Total exports for the year, $99,715,173 In addition to the articles enumerated above, the a mount of lard exported in 1842 is stated to have been 20,102,397 pounds, and in 1814,25.746,355 pounds. The amount of cheese exported in 1842, was 2,456,609 pounds and in 1841 it had increased to 7,343,146 pounds. _ Ghosis—Does any body k now any thing about ghost s't it was hinted the other night by Mr. Murdock, in one of his capital 'Shakspearion Evenings," that the ghost of Hamlet's father—tire bark(' majesty of Denmark—is, lalie usarte of the stage, made too solemn and mosiglirnotis in his manner, and that there is no reason why his style of conversation should be different from what it was in life. But we cannot "reason" here—a ghost must be a ghost, according to the popular irked' ghosts, else he is no ghost—aghost must be awful—supernatural—deep in voice—con strained in action—fearful and impressive. For in stance, a ghost taking snuff or smoking a cigar—tilting hack his chair, or sitting down on the front steps—a ghost whistling a Polka, or dreaming that he "dwelt i in marble halls"—it might all be natural enough to him inlife; but when he "revisits the glimpses of the moon, making night hideous, and us fools of nature so herd lily to shake our dispositions," it will not do for him to talk in the two and sixpence style of flesh end blood, or I he and Hamlet might seat themselves cheek-by-jowl upon the garden fence, to consult over domestic Erna hies, just us people thus chatter every day. No-- the fault to us is that mere human organs do not make his ghostship terrible enough- , --he sometimes forgets his part, and has been known to sneeze. His boots creak, and his garments rustle. He looks behind to see that he may nut hump against the scenes as he dis appears; and the whole thing, a, best executed, falls, sadly short of the ideal, which is the defect of the su pernatural in theatrical effects. But ghosts apart, how wonderfully Murdock has improved in all the; qualities which go to make up a great actor--in voice, elocution, action and the power of identifying himself with the parr. "It needs no ghosts come from the grave, to tell us" that he is destined to a distinguished career hereafter; but ho must have his ghost played I by sort ebody w ith the bronchitis and the rheumatism— a croak and a little lumbago are essential. A Citnracteristie Alteedole.-11r Gough, the elo- I qttent Temperance lecturer, at Hanford, Rave a few 1 evenings since, the following pertinent anecdote to illustrate the rnhjrct of temperance, which, as the Palladium correspondent remarks, is too good to be lost: "Some men are ton nnrrosr•mindcd to become what are usually termed drunk trds• They seldom drink except when other people pay for it—but after awhile appetite will sometimes draw a few pennies from their pockets. When a bit of silver appears, their love of f money will predominate neer love of drink, and a four- pence taken from their pockets, will be robbed in their fingers till it's as broad as a nine-pence—and then re- ' turned unspent. A member of the Legislature in this t cite, dining the present session, went into a groggery and called for a glass.—The price was three cents; he bartered with the man of evil spirits thus—' " I shall be in town four or five weeks, and shall want three or four glasses a day—now won't you say' ICO rents a 'lass!" That man, said Mr Gough, will never become a sot. He loves i ' (1110r well enough but i his narrow m l ndedness will sere him. If he was a noble Bottled fellow, nothlog but the pledge would keep him out of the gutter." A Family of Dwarfs.—The New Yr.rk Mirror tells us of a whole family of real Lilliputs, taho are said to be hying at Kishorn of Applectoss. The fa ther of these pigmies (John Finlay) is a poor otter of the ordinary Of middle size, and the mother is re:h er beyond it. The eldest soft, Master Finlay, is up wards i f twenty yeers of age. and stands two feet ten inches in height. The next is a girl, somewhat the ju nior of Finley in sears, and considerably less in sta ture; and the third and last is a boy, about fifteen, a mere pigmy. It is ludicrous to see these little crea tures sit around their little dinner table ; but to ob serve them dance together reminds one forcibly of the Celtic accounts of dancing elves, (the fairies of the Highlands,) whose fantastic measures so oft beguiled the wayworn Highlander. as he saw, or dreamed he saw them trip it lightly on the mountain side. Art of Floating.—Any human being who will have the presence of mind to clasp the hands behind the back, and turn the face before the zenith, may font at ease, and in perfect safety, in tolerably still water —av, and sleep there, no mutter how lung. If, not knowing how to swim, you would escape drowning when you find yourself in deep water; you have only to consider yourself an empty pitcher; let your mouth and nose, not the top part of your heavy head, be the highest part of you, nod you are safe, but thrust up one of your bony hands, and down you go, turning rip the handle tips over the pitcher. Having had the happiness to prevent one or two drowning by this sim ple instruction, says an exchange, we publish it for the benefit of all who either love aquatic sports or dread them.
