Havre, in order to embark-for New York,
.. after having, spent a part of the winter in.
.this capital. Soon - after his arrival, he
submitted to the Academy. of Sciences a
. comprehensive memoir respecting his theo
ry of storms, which was referred to a
: committee of three members -specially
versed in this important topic.. Saelt names
as itose • of Arago, Bouillet, and liatinet,
are familiar totll professors and-4.4fidents
fif Natuial PhiloSbnhy. Mr. Esp . )/ com
municated often with did jointly and
severally, furnishing every explanation and
fact which their curiosity and conscien
tiousness required. Owing to their desire
of complete conviction and inlaid mity,,thseir
report could not be presented to the' Ace=
derity- before his departure. Hut it .Was
promised for this day's meetino .and the
n' - •
committee Sent to -him a copy of their ue- . ,
neral,conelusionS, which Lhave.read.. My
'American pulse qyieltens with the gratifica
tion that I - experience in mentioning the
plentitude and force of the testimony in his
favor. The, committee declare that his
memoir contains "an immense number of
well-observed and decisive facts," and.:
new - can - d - ingenious views,-which put lid:
tural philosophy in the right Oay to under
. sta'rthind explain storms and meteors, and
imposeon the savans of Europe the neces
sity of reviewing their documents and opi-,
nions,•andvllating them with his observa
tions and opiiiiiins. • .

The committee, moreolW.; . pronounce
his theory to be admirably useful for phy
sical geography, agriculture, pilotage, and
meteorology; they recommend him to :the
patronage of the American Government,
so that he may - be enabled_to Carry
_out his
•scientific ideas by further adequate ohser
vation and experiments; and they propose
to the Academy - to accord its highest ap
probation. to his labor. and views. I have
seen, besides, a letter - from - a member of

ing that the basis of Mr. Espy's theory are
•incontestable---;-his inductions ample Cinl

the causes determining tornadoes, water

most important service to science.' ' Firm

Abet' the Whigs will be able to carry put
their measures notwithstancling.lhe trigs
the opposition throw in their way, and the
holds_back they put upon their. wheels.
When upon the reception of abolition
petitions, the opposition, by marching and
countermarching between Northern and
Southern Whigs, were able to thwart . all
.business ,of the Muse for nearly ihiee
weeks, They were so.delipted as to believe
that no business could be done during the
Extra Session. They have spread this idea
abroad "among their deluded compatriots - ,
but now they find this premature exultation
has but united the Administration members,
ti ho,will carry' out all the Measures for
which they were 'especially assembled. --
It is now quite certain that amona. -the
measures-which--will-be-passed--into laws
are the following :
Ist. The creation of a Fiscal Agent, or
in tither words, a-Bunk of the States...
'The funding of the Public Debt;•by
the creation of a Loan of $12;000,000.
3d. The distribution of

A. poor drunkard in the town of Foster,

day from the grog shop in. a great rage, and
begahtp beat his wife, who fled from the
house, leaving herlittle boy behind her.—
She .did not once think of his hurting the
hO roved very dearly when
he was sober. But being maddened by
the poison he had drunk, and not knowing
what he was doing, he caught up' tile poor
boy ail dashed, his head against filo jambs
of the fire-place. .The alarm was raised,
and the neighbors ran in, but too late to
save the child. It -was so .badly bruised
that it lived but a short- time.- ::When- the

the jamb to whiCh it had been fastened by
'the blood of the poor little victim. Before
.the_child was buried, the father was •per

he realized what he had done r and he bow-.
