I mean time we late i e iiil.,.i iuuh j eautiou the members of the committee to disregard utterly all calls signed by W. l' Wageiiselier as Chairmau, inasmuch as he does not hold said office and has there fore no authority to issue such calls." These are the remarks of Mr. Geo. Merrill, editor of the Star, an organ of . ii-i i .i .1 no n.g parry, aim tuose are tue powers , iiliirli In. I'Liims tin- rielif. to :tsserf. Mid control. It therefore Wou.es a question -,f importance to the future welfare and ! .,, . . , ,, i - i narmony of the party as to whether he is I l ight or wrong. I shall now proceed toj show that the doctrine here contended fori ;.y the Star is wrong iu principle aud and would be ruinous in practice. In pursuance to the above resolution the delegates from each district selected one persoa,(which constituted the commit tee,) some of whom were and others were uot, members of the convention. Now, admit for the sake of argument, that the name of Geo. Merrill was first nimed, aud standing first on the list would be consid ered, according to rule, the Chairman of the committee; and suppose further, that J he was actually nominated and elected j Chairman by the convention, as contended for,would that destroy the right aud nullify tbe power of the committee to elect their Chairman and Secretary? Certainly not. It may have been right and proper in the convention to designate some oni as Chair man for tho time being, wh ?o duty it would be to call the committee together in the first place, but after having so met, they were fully authorized to elect the saute, or any oihtr uieiuuer of that body as their Chairuiia for their permanent organization. The 8tU rule of the U. S. House of j Representatives stys : " The first named j member of any committee fehall be the I Chairmau : and ii. his absence, or being: excused by the House, the next named member, and so oi, as often as the case shrill Lapprn, un'rss the committer, hy a majority of their mmber, ELECT A CllAItt MAN." The occasion of this rule was this : Mr. Smith of Connecticut bad been Chairman of the committee of Claims for several ! rCars anJ 0I1 tlie 5tu Xvmbcr, 1S01, i . .i .i : was reappomU-d-up to this ttme there 1 00 ru,e or "gulation as to the bead j ui & tommiticc : me nxvje uau uccq iuai j tJlc first.iia!ed member acted, but it was practice, the privileges of committees arei laid d jivu as follows in sectiou 7 : " Stand-1 ing co:uiiiittees, as of privileges and elec tions, &c, are Usually appointed at the! ! rt meeting, to continue through the i ally permitted to act as (Juairuian.

A similar accident occurred a second time, but instead of attempting to recover it, it was driven into tbe stra tum, which happened to be gravel. hen the calculated depth of 1,500 feet had been reached without any result, the Gov- crnmcnt became aisueartcncd, and tlie public patience exhausted. Oa the urgent representation of M. Arago, the sinkings were continued, until at length, on the 20th of February, 1841, the rod suddenly I descended several yards.

Patersnn ou eleven Artesian wells in Scotland, themean increase is 1 for ev ery 48 feet of descent ; and the mean of seventeen wells in other places gave 1 for every 53 feet of descent. In one observa tion tbe temperature of the well waterwas that 52, while of the surface of a f-pring close by was at the freezing point. Artesian wells have been sunk to various depths. The greatest depth is that of Grenelle, just noticed.. : . Artesiau wells have not only been em ployed for providing houses with water, but their waters have also been used as a moving power. In the village of Goue hem, near Bcthune, there are four borings to the depth of 120 feet ; the waters are conveyed into the watercourse of a flour mill, and are also made to subserve other agricultural purposes. The little town of Roubaix, near Arras, was in danger of losing iU principal means of suppott, viz., its silk-fpinning and dye-works, Horn waul ut w.uer.
