The thirteen tocho„ of water are of course supplied by evtperation from the sea, and ate carried beck to the land through the atmosphere. Vapuur is per- petually rising from the ocean, and is con- densed to the hills and high grounds, and through their pure* and crevices de.ccodv. ell it is collected, and conducted out to the surface.

The coldnea of the atmosphere sad other caudrs, •a* alreaJy mentioned, precipitate the moisture in clouds and ehuwers, and in both of these states it Is condensed and absorbed by the cool ground. Thus a perpetual and compound circulation of the waters is kept up, it ascending per- petually by a thousand curren'e through the air ; and descending by the tills and rivers, si agate returns into the great and mag.ticent reservoir of the ocean. 1.rery country of our globe thea two =regular of the aqueous circulation have =regular and nearly constant proper- ties.

A due distribuuoa of these co - tontine fluids in each country appears to be necessary to it• orgasm health ; to the WHO of vegetables, to all satinets, and to ease.

Here they had abundaoce uf wood, and built Gres all arround therm ; but with all their precations few slept, on account of the cold. At early daylight the following mor- ning the whole party set out.

Vengeance, however, pursu- ed the great culprit : –poor Lord George arrived on Epsom Downs just four minute" after the rues was over ! You will nee that Mr. Hume's motion on the state of the suffrage ha beau postponed to the 20th of June. The postponement was effected thus :–There was a full house un Tuesday, the night when it was to bave been introduced. The tiuvernmcnt mom - bete, however, to whom the question is wormwood and gall, took care to occupy u much time as possible in the mere routine business ce the day. 'Then came the De- bate about the Darby, which consumed a full hour of the evening ; and after that, Lord George Bentinck introduced a motion fur some unopposed Returns which be and hie recede, tee Ministers touk care should occupy the attention of the house until eleven o'clock. Mr. flume was then called upon to bring forward the question of which he had given notice. Of course that honourable gentleman felt that in conse- quence of the trick true played upon bun, he had re chance of fairly stating bis cue, and after a little squabbling, be postponed his motion until the day named above–the 10th of June. A remarkable speech from Lord John Russell characterised the short diecutaion which took place on Mr. Hunie's motion.

The most anxious solicitude hes, for some weeks pant, been cape- rieneed by the Itadinde, for the gaiety et her M.jesry's Ministry iu Canada ; the severe drought had given rise to some gloomy forebod- ings regarding the lits of the crops, sad as our orseelous cotemporary of the Cobarg Star lately announced that the dullness" of tide and acueity of cash, naturally resulted from the late change of the Admioi•tralioo, it was pretty generally believed that the drought bad arisen from the same cause ; that the clouds had takes the sulks at the want of leun consequen. on the decease of the Demetrsa ministry–had become coosenuive and would not shed another drop of rats while the Redaala remained in power! But provi- dentially it did rain 00 Sunday and on Monday; and on Tuesday it poured, and the crops are looking fully twenty -fire per cent. better. They are looking aztrerscly well, and our fears have vanished. and we think the Ministry are safe ; but we must own we were actually afraid, and when we heard that the ilon. Robert Baldwin had arrived in Toronto, and that Col. Tache had gone on to St. Catharines, we wondered if they had taken guilt to themselves and "cleared out" before the general expulsion should take place–the Attoroey General to resume has per- fesaion quietly, and the Commissioner of public works to get over to the States where • change of alifiatry hex no effect on the weather •ltd the crops !

It most be known to all men of even ordinary intelligence, that nearly all the popular knowledge on science, and every subject of useful information has been disseminated through the columns of oywsp•pers. No subject that is worthy of being known or that is celeste ted to do good, is either too sacred or too 'ernes to be trausmittd through such a medium, and it may be asserted that a newspaper is valuable jut .in proportion an it publishes and expounds such subjects.

Perhaps he belunp to the class wblhh of all others has most to dread from the popular progress of phrenology. Pbrenoligists are shrewd °Weevers of human character ; they are not easily duped, they can detect imposture almost at a gluier, and therefore, we think the regret of Mr. Giles is sincere ; and we trust he will be equally charitable in granting siacerity to .. when we express oar regret that the dignity sad utility of the newspaper prem, has been so woe- fully degraded, either through the ignorance •e mistaken notions of many of its cooductore, re- garding the use and importance of it.

With great pretence of mind she exclaimed as if to her -self, "That slut has left her mop here !" She then proceeded to the beer bar- rel, drew her beer, drank it, and then leisure- ly left the cellar ; but as soon as she had reached the landing she closed the door, drew the bolts and alarmed the house.– The man wan seized, and proved to be a thief who had hidden himself there with the intention of letting in • gang to which he belonged.
