much as when extended in the act Of
stepping or walking.
With these the experiments ceased.

| have already occupied so much
space, that | am admonished to draw
these remarks to a close, which shall
do in few words. 1t may be proper
to mention the power of the battery EN-.
Iployed in the above experiments, and
that of DR.. IRE, so that a comparison
of results may be instituted, and it will
then be left to scientific persons to
judge Of the success which has attend.
ed these experiments. The battery
belonging to Mr.. Edmondson, and used
in this series of experiments, consisted
Iof200 pairs Of Wollaston's plates, each
? inches square, arranged in troughs,
connected by tinfoil communications,
but which, from more perfect mode of
Insulation, was estimated in DIR. Co.
hens letter to me to equal one of 800
or $50 plates, constructed in the usual
manner. DR.. Ure's battery consisted
of go plates, inches square, with in.
sllating handles. There was therefore
a great difference in the surface expos
ed to the acid. In Ure's plates sur.
face of is inches was exposed to tho
combined action oftwo powerful acids,
nitric and sulphuric; whilst in ours
surface of four inches only was exposed,
acted upon principally by Muriatic a.
| cid. During one stage of the experi.
ments, when the action of the battery
appeared decreasing, a small quantity
of nitric acid was put in the troaghs,
which was just before those beautiful
experiments on the arm.

A Har4 Case "A worthy physi-
ciah in Boston was last week arrested,
together with a lady with whom he had
boarded, and they were committed to-
jail in the same room together. In the
morning they were placed together at
the bar ofthe municipal court, and there
together awaited their turn Of being
heard and tried. They were informed
that they were charged with having
lived together contrary to law and Cos.

cate of marriage, and the clergyman
who had signed it testified that he had
married them together. 1t is danger

University Of Virginia.--The Rich
mond Enquirer ofthe ID inst. publishes
a communication from student Of the
University of Virginia, together with
a report of the proceedings Of a meet
ing Of the students, which was held last
November, In order to concert meas
ures for procuring the attendance Of a
Minister of the Gospel at the Universi-
ty. 1t appears that, until recently, the
students were without the benefit Of the
services Of a clergyman of any demo-
minatlon; and resolutions we're passed
by them at the meeting in question, ex-
pressing their sense of this deprivation,
and proposing that subscriptions should
be raised among the students and off,
GERS of the University, for procuring
the attendance of a clergyman ofsome
one Of the "four denominations most
generally received and approved in this
country" The proceedings were SUBJ
United to the Professors, who highly
approved of the plan, and expressed
their willingness to contribute individu-
ally to its execution. A minister was
accordingly engaged for the present
year, but the amount raised for his
compensation does not exceed three
hundred dollars, and the students ex-
press their fears that they will be COM
PEELED to abandon their project.

The Boston Courier closes some re.
marks upon the cause of opposition in
the South to the protective policy, with
the following paragraph:
"New England has become what
she is by keeping her men in the work
shops and on the farm, and her women
in the dairy and the kitchen. Had the
South been as wise, or as fortunate, we
should have heard less repining at her
condition, less envy at her prosperity
the Tariff and American System
would not have been such bugbears to
brighten children and old women-and
Notification would never have been
heard Of. All these miserable spectres
have had an existence solely because
the women of the South have never
known how to churn or make pud-
ding"

The Gazette, in noticing an outrage
committed in Indiana, by a United
States officer who entered a printing
office, and knocked a form into pi, says
The fellow should be Immediately
suspended from Office, and prosecuted
in the bargain.
We have "tackle' in our office,
by which we hoist our large forms up
to the press above the composing room.
If United States officer were to ''put
his finger into our pr, we would hook
the tackle to his waistband, and "sus-
pend" him out from the front window
of our office. As to the prosecution,
we would forego that; we should work
out his penance in disdain. This by

CURRAN.

One morning at an inn in the South
Of Iceland, gentleman travelling up
on mercantile business, came running
down stairs few minutes before the
appearance Of the stage coach in which
he had taken a scat for Dublin. See
ing an ugly little fellow leaning against
the door post, with dirty face and shah
BY clothes, he hailed him and ordered
him to brush his coat. The operation
proceeding rather slowly, the impa-
tient traveller cursed the lazy valet
for an idle, goed-for- nothing dog, and
threatened him with corporal punish
ment Oh the spot. II he did not make
haste and finish his job before the arri-
val Of the coach. Terror seemed to
produce its effect; the fellow brushed
the coat and then the trowsers, with
great diligence. and was rewarded
with sixPence, which he received with
a low bow. The gentleman went into
the bar, and paid his bill, just as the
expected vehicle had reached the door.
Upon getting inside, guess his astonish-
ment to find his friend qooodam wait.

all the look Of person well used to

glances, to be sore that his eyes did
not deceive him, he commenced q con-

stupidity: but he was speedily iEter.

other was thunder.truck by The idea
Of such an introduction: but the drol-
leTy Of Curran soon overcame his con-
fusion, and the traveller never reioiced
less at the termination Of long Jour-
ncy, than when he beheld the distant
spires Of Dublin glitter in the hight Of
the setting sun.
