ter ls frozen, and ~: 6: use3. lnthc torrid zonex hers njs nohail storms, except near lofty mountains, befasiso there are no freeing currents of l.ir 10 mix With tine cuiu uruTTenfss 1IIe south ot Frssnce is moro rkablc iuf irs:- quent hail storms than any country in the world. This is owing to its silu.- ton between the Alps and Pyreaces; the cold blasts from these regions of snow aad ice, iniHgliDg with the not, damp air over the intervening country, pro- duce violent hail storms; the opposite currents of hot and cold air arc set m motion when the heat of the sun is great. It is surprising that hailstones, descend ing as they do, through many thousand feet, fall with so little force. They are
 heavy enough to fall with hundred
 times the force they actually exhibit.
 The reason of this is the following: they are very small when first formed. and receive continual acccssions in descend ing; these accesions are made from wa- tery vapours at rest, and the taking one of these new loads continually rctards
 their speed. Hail-stones nre smaller on
 the tops of mountains than in inc neieh-
 boring plains, because they do moi iall
 so far.

Ithas always been (next to the EasD the greenest island of my imagination. l like the gloomy gaiety of their gondolas, and the silence of their canals. l do not even dislike the evident decay of the city; for l have been familiar with ruins too long to dis like desoiation.

 Song a7er he Caraipal.
 So we'll go no more rowing.
 So late into the night,
 Though the heart be still as loving,
 And the moon be still as bright,
 Tor the sword out wears the sheath,
 And the soul out wears the breast;
 And the heart must pause to breathe,
 And love itself have rest.
 Though the night was made for loving,
 And the day returns too soon,
 Yet we'll gono more rowing,
 By the light of the moon"

 Description of an Execution. .---ss The day before l left Rome l saw three rob bers guillotined. The ccremony--irl- cluding the masqued priests; the half na- ked executioners; and bandaged crimi- nals, the black Christ and his banner, the seaffold, the soldiers, the slow pro seession, and the quick rattle and heavy tall of the axe; the splash of the blood, and the ghastliness of the exposed heads ~-is altogether more impressive than the vulgarand ungentlemanly dirty snew drop, and dog-like agony of inhiction upon the sufferers of the English sen fence. Twoof these men behaved calm iyenough, but the first ofthc three died With great ie rror and reluctance.

 One of the greatest blessings which a benign Providence has bestowed on our country during the past year is the pro motionof temperance in the use of dis titled liquors. The excessive consump- ten of Intoxicating drinks was, twelve months ago, an evil moro threatening, more demoralizing, more to be deplored, and stain of far deeper dye on our na- tlonal character, than even the holding in slavery millions of the sons of Africa. If the misery caused by the use of al coholic drinks for the last ten years, could be summed up and estimated, it would. we are we'll persuaded, greatly exceed that produced by slavery in the same number of years the mos. fruitful in dis tress. Scarcely family ythroughontour country stood unaffected by this calami- ty-eitber son an object oi disgrace, q daughter brought to want and misery by a drunken husband, or even the parent monster of terror and horror, bringing distress and death around him. Tosuch a degree had the evil increased, that a collection of men of almost any class and on almost any occasion, was place of temptation. The industrious yeo- marry inno section of our country, could assemble forthe discharge either of pub lie business, or to assist a neighbor, with out having exhibited among them, scenes of drunkenness, quarrelling, and not un- frequently of violent death. So gener- al was the use of these potions, that q sc,the could not be swung, nor an axe or fail lifted without dram before breakfast, and more or less throughout the day. In addition to the high price of labor, a farmer was at the expense ol liquor 10 every person efnrloyed--and proportion to the importance and LIT,
 geney of his work, he was compelled tt deal out the inebriating draft, which in
 stead of expediting, often delayed his business and frustrated his plans.

 Gr It has been TwENTY-oNE days since we have received an Eastern mali in this pIace. This mail is of more importance to our citizens, than all the rest of the mails together, yet it has not arrived re- gularly, one half of the time since the first of January last. These frequent failures, are certainly unpardonable, and should not be looked oyer. We are aware of the many difficulties on the Eastern route at this season of the year, which has ten dency to retard the progress of the mail, but in consideration of these difficulties, tue Post-Master General has allowed the contractor l2 days to perform the trip We are confident that there are men in this Territory, who, for a reasonable com pensation, would perform the trip weekly throughout the year without making sim gle failure, unless by the most perfect ac- cident.

 to the pride of talents. With every
 kind of public ability, every kind of pub | lie opportunity, and an unceasing and
 indefatigable determination to be at the
 summit of all things, his whole life was
 a succession of disappointments. lthas

 liamentary course, he declarcdthatthere
 were three objects of his ambition, and tha: he would obtain them all--that he
 should be the most popular man in Eng
 land, the husband of the handsomcst wo-
 man, and prime minister. He did at- tain them all; but in what diminished
 and illusory degree, how the s.juggling iend kept the promise to the ear and
 broke ito the hope, lis long since known. He was the most popular man in Eng land, if the Westminster electors were

 Violent hailstorms are always attend. edby black clouds, high winds, and thuil- der and lightnings: they are eontlned chiefly tothc temperate zones: they oc- curmostfrequently in the hottestmonths. Hail storms are much smaller on the tops of mountains than in the neighbor- ing plains; they are often followed by cooler weather. The immediate cause of hail storms is a sudden and extraor- dinary coldin the region of the clouds where the haiI-stoncs begin to form; but the great question is, what is the origin of this coIdq An exceeding cold wind from the norll,, or from the high and cold regions of tI.e atmosphere; this meets with moist, warm current of airy' an d hail storm follows.
