THE SMOKY WEATHER.


The late smoky weather has revived the
old felton," that this phenomenon is caus-
ed by actual smoke. This opinion is among
the strange absurdities, that men entertain
merely for want consideration, Such was
the opinion, that the salt phenomenon after
the September gale was caused by the spray
Of the sea, carried over land by the wind. A
little consideration would convince auy one
that this was impossible in the nature Of
things, and could not happen without an al
tera,ion in the laws o, nature, or a special in
terposition Of the all-directing Providence.
To state few facts respecting the appear.
ance of smoky weather, will, | believe, be
sufficient TO refu,e the notion of its being
produced by the smoke OF existing fires.
/. This phenomenon happens at all sea-
sons of the year-in the dead Of winter.

well as at any other time.

3. 1t is extensive, appearing over an ex'

A correspondent ofhe New-York Gazette,
hopes that the subject OF the establishment Of
a Board Of Trade at the seat of government,
as suggested in the New-Yerk Gazette OF
the LIST inst. will not escape the immediate at
tention Of the members OF congress. Such a
Board, composed of intelligent merchants, of
known long standing as to talent and inte-
gritty. would result in incalculable advan-
tage to the revenue of the United States.-
The property too. Of sxacting, cash for du-
ties on importations, in most cases, is ano-
Their project, which, il is believed, would
more effactually secure the Interests and
prosperity of the country measure
would go far towards the encouragement OF
American manufactures, and, in some mea-
sure, obvia,e the necessity Of other acts to
protect manufacturers. Bali. Pat.
