THICKNESS OF THE CRUST OF THE EARTH.
(From the London Polytechnic Magazine.)
The first investigation of importance that presents itself
is the thickness of the crust on which we dwell. We have
seen by the theory that this ought to be continually in-
creasing, though with increasing slowness, and that there
was a time when it was so thin as to be almost in a state of
fusion. We have stated that the increase of temperature
observed is about one degree Fahr. for every fifteen yards
of descent. In all probability, however, the increase will
yet be found to be in geometrical progression, asinvestiga-
tion is extended ; in which case the present crust will be
found to be much thinner than we have calculated it to
be ; and should this be found to be correct, the igneous
theory will become a subject of more importance, in a geo-
logical point of view, than we are at present disposed to
consider it. Taking then as correct the present observed
rate of increase, the temperature would be as follows :
Water will boil at the depth of 2430 yards.
Lead melts at the depth of 8400 yards.
There is red heat at the depth of seven miles.
Gold melts at 21 miles.
Cast iron at 74 miles.
Soft iron at 07 miles.
And at the depth of 100 miles there is a temperature equal
to the greatest artificial beat yet observed ; a temperature
capable of fusing platina, porcelain, and indeed every re-
fractory substance we are acquainted with. These tem-
peratures are calculated from GuytonMorveau's corrected
scale of Wedgewood's pyrometer, and if we adopt them,
we find that the earth is fluid at the depth of 100 miles
from the surface, and that even in its present state very
little more than the soil on which we. tread is fit for the ha-
bitation of organized beings.
As the cooling of the crust is a progressive action, there
must have been a time when the crust was very much
thinner than it is at present, and during those early pe-
riods changes in its condition from contraction must have
been frequent, because every new layer, as it cooled be-
neath, would contract and compress the fluid part below,
and in the effort would be rent in many places. It appears
as if several of these rents were still in existence. There
seems to be a great one passing from the West Indies
down the coast of South Xmerica, and across the Pacific.
It has a long line of volcanoes marking its course, and
those districts seated over it are the very abode of earth-
quake violence. Not many years ago a great shock
passed over that region, and a mountain in the island of
ava sunk in the fiery abyss with all its inhabitants, and
left a burning lake to occupy its place.

FREE TRADE IN GRAIN.—Let Polish and Russian
grain be admitted without a protecting duty into the
British harbours, as Lybian and Egyptian were into those
of Italy, and we shall soon see the race of cultivators
disappear from the fields of England as they did from
those of old Rome, and the words of Tacitus will, by a
mere change of proper names, become a picture of our
condition ; three hundred thousand acres will soon be re-
duced to a state of nature in Kent and Norfolk, as they
were in the Campania Felix. The free traders allege that
the decay of agriculture in the central provinces of the
Roman empire, to which, by the concurring testimony of
all historians, the ruin of the dominion of the Caesars was
chiefly owing, is to be ascribed, not to the free importation
of grain from Egypt, Podolia, and Lybia, but to the
tyranny of the emperors, the gratuitous distribution of
grain to the Roman populace, and the dreadful evils of
domestic slavery. A very slight consideration, however,
must be sufficient to show that these causes, how power-
ful soever in producing general evils over the empire,
could not have been instrumental in occasioning those
peculiar and separate causes of depression, which so early
tothflittihlaetgheir
situation may be said to
began to check, and at length totally destroyed, the agri-
culture of its central provinces.—Blackwood's Magazine

to obstruct his destiny ; on the contrary his eseY bolder

digging in the garden, that he turned up a geiniehre
guinea, which he laid out in the purchase of a low
Grammar. And it was in this trifling, accidentel,e,olo
stance, much more than in his meeting with the wof pt.
of Methodism, that the acquirements and fame efool
Clarke originated ; for, however his learned Coretongo
may excite admiration, and preserve his name au,'loo
the celebrated divinity scholars of the age, it is, to of

THE DOCTRINES OF THE FREE TRADERS."'" a gr

system as the free traders advocate, if practicable, .W„
be to the last degree inexpedient. What would be I" 0
suit? Why, that one country would become what; 0
in great part, agricultural, and the other wholly,,.°oo
great part, manufacturing. Is this a result desiree b 0
either? Admitting that a city or small state, whicl?rtio
no territory which can furnish any considerable pruPe dl
of the subsistance which it requires, like Holland, otelogi
well to attend exclusively to manufactures and canto: 6w
or a country which, by the rigour of nature, or ti!,l
moteness of its situation, cannot attain to comwere
manufacturing greatness, would do well to attend;
elusively to the cultivation or productions of tbe
the question which here occurs—ls such a system 8, tb.
able or expedient for a nation which has received frelV
bounty of nature the means of rising to greatness in flee
—such as Great Britain, Russia, or Prussia? The is
traders would have England sacrifice its agriculture ',l„
10
manufactures, and Russia sacrifice its manufactures 400
agriculture. Would such a system benefit either ? rolls
England be happier or richer, more stable or more mete
if the already colossal amount of its mannfactureS boo
trebled ; or Russia, if its rising iron and woollen fel, 0
were destroyed, and its industry confined exclusice,lll
the slow return of agricultural labour? Is it des1;01
that the zone of tall chimneys, sickly faces, brick teitlie
and crowded jails, which at present span across., b 0
whole of Engiand and part of Scotland, should of
doubled and trebled in breadth; and the fertile fieeA-ntr
Kent, Norfolk, and East Lothian, be reduced to rastiotte
enclosed pastures, such as overspread Italy in ti),e,ooe
stages of the Roman empire? Or is it desirable to the
and Prussia that they should be for ever chained TAN,

ing and unimportant effects of commercial weal; di
denied to their own exertions ? Nature has deg. 64
experience recommends, a very different system. Plt,
tells us in all parts of the world, that it is in the loci'
mixture of commerce and agriculture that the beet„,roef
rity is to be found for social happiness and advanee,'",,o
and the most effectual antidote provided to the evi'e
which either, when existing alone, is so prone' 0'
M'Culloch has told us, that the commerce and roan ions
tures of Great Britain have now risen to such a Pr,e ;reble'
height, that any further extension of them is unoee, he'
and that no real patriot would have desired there iteble,
come so extensive as they already are. Is it di,e, same
in such a state of matters, to go on increasing pen°

murder. I have said nominally, as, though the fau„t

WAKEFIELD CORN MARKET, MARCH S.
There is a good attendance of buyers at this day's market, and
a fair extent of business passing in Wheat, at fully last week's
prices. Barley is slow sale, without any material variation in
value. The demand for Oats, Shelling, and Beans is steady, and
each article fully maintains its price.
