FRENOII ACADEMY OF SCIENCES.

- -

At the last sitting a note was received from
Father Secchi, the Director of the Roman Observa-
tory, on the connection between meteorological
phenomena and the variations of the magnetic
needle. The results at which he arrives may be
summed up as follows :-1. When there are no
manifest perturbations of the needle, there are,
besides the diurnal variations, other variations
also of lthger duration, and which appear to be
large undulations on which the diurnal oscil-
lations are, so to say, engrafted in the shape
of shorter waves. Several irregularities in the
indications of two different instruments for
measuring intensity may be explained by the su-
perposition of these two systems of waves, the
uffects of which either conspire or destroy each
other ;-2. The diurnal variations are often dis-
turbed by sudden excursions of the needle, which
do not last more than three or four hours;—
3. The great magnetic undulations are not sym-
metrical in their rise and fall, the latter being
much more rapid than the former, so that a rise
of several days' duration may be obliterated in
one;-4. The great undulations are always coin-
cident with severe atmospheric storms, there being
evident synchronism between the two phenomena ;
—5. A strong magnetic perturbation occurring
after a long series of fine days, is a symptom of
a change of weather for the worse ; and conversely,
if it occurs after a long series of days of bad
weather, it predicts a return to fine.—M. M,tr-
chand sent in the results of his inquiries into the
saccharine richness of the beet-root,:from which it
appears that it varies according to the period of
sowing, that sown earlier being richer than that
which has been sown later; that the agricultural
yield follows the same rule ; that the nature of the
soil seems to exercise no influence over these re-
sults, and that the proportion of sugar seems to stalid
in no relation whatever to the quantity of carbo-
nate of lime contained in the soil, as had been
stated by M. Leplay. M. Luther, th
thecealtehberahtaedd
amateur astronomer, wrote to announce
discovered a new telescopic planet, being the 67th
of the group. It has received the name of Leto,
and its positions on the 29th and 30th ult. were
as follows :

AN ABSCONDER FROM HOLYHEAD.—Great con-
sternation has seized the inhabitants of this part of the
island by the absconding of Mr. Griffith Evans, of Caer-
geiliog, corn merchant, to America, leaving debts unpaid
amounting to upwards of £5,000, with scarcely any assets
to meet them. From his position as a Calvanistic Methodist
minister, and a very popular preacher, his credit stood well
in the country ; but his sudden exit has created quite a panic
among a numerous class of farmers and some respectable
tradesmen. Re not only turned his back upon his creditors
in a dishonourable way, but left his little children to the
mercy of the world—their mother having very recently
d ied.—Carnarvon Herald.

RAILWAY COMMITTEES.—Yesterday the com-
mittee of the Lords, Viscount de Vesci in the chair, passed
the bill of the Lancashire and Yorkshire for their proposed
branches to Shawforth and other places. In the case of
the Bootle branch, Mr. Rodwell, Q.C., appeared for Lord
Derby, who requires the insertion of some clauses affecting
his estates. In the Commons the opposition of Lord Rad-
nor and Gen. Hankey to the South-Eastern Railway Com-
pany's Folkestone Harbour Bill occupied the day, and gene-
ral evidence was adduced on the Devon Central Railways
in that committee. The case of the Colne Valley and Hal-
stead Railway for a line of 16 miles from Haverill to Cam-
bridge, and other extensions, was opened, and Sir John
M'Neil, C.E.,' was examined in the committee on the Cork,
Blarney, and Macroon Railways. The committee on the
Birmingham Improvement Bill closed their inquiry by
passing that measure.
