INTERESTING PHENOMENON.
Lauriat has ascended into the upper
regions now about twenty times. He
has often been rem four to FIVE miles
high, and has passed through clouds
and all conditions of the atmosphere.
il is impossible that observations Of
different kinds, with different instru-
ments, at such height above the
earth 5 surface, should not result in
some discoveries highly interesting TO
science, and the following we deem
worthy of the examination of all in
terested in tracing the various pheno-
mena connected with this earth. In
Mr.. Lauriat's last ascension from Nav
York, he assembled five miles, and pro.
ceeded over a hundred miles. He
passed through clouds of siee. which
covered his balloon with icy particles
but what was more interesting, he
discovered that when he was at bis
greatest altitude, the needle Of a com.
pass which he had with him did not
have the least tendency to exhibit po-
lar attraction, but wavered about at all
points of the compass. This circum-
stance is worthy Of investigation, and
should be made the precursor of ex
aminetions OF the like kind, which
may by various experiments, result in
arriving al some probable estimate the
causes of polar attraction, respecting
which there 10 now only uncon6rmed
conjecture. 1t is true that the first
impression conveyed is that The needle
is above the influence Of attraction
but it will enable US to decide whether
the cause ofthe wonderful powers Of
the magnetic needle be resident in the
equator OF the poles. We should be
happy TO receive some disquisilions
upon the STANDARDIZATION HsrsM.

out Of debt, but deeply agitated by the
question how the surplus revenue OF the
national treasury shall ba disposed Of.
4 Serious Monitson.--In passing
sentence Of death upon man for the
murder Of his wife q few days ago) in
Court in the city Of New York, Judge
EDWARDS took occasion to remark that,
within few years, six persons had
been capitally convicted before him,
aud 10 every instance the crime was to
be traced to intemperance; and farther,
he would now say that, in most cases
Of persons sentenced to the State pris-
on, who were not incorporate them-
selves, from the intemperance Of their
parents, their education had been SO
much neglected that il was easy to ac-
count for their pronsness to crime.

EXHIBITION OF Ma. CocHRANE's
FIRE ARMs.-We understand that Mr..
Cochrane, of whose astonishing and
important improvements in fire arms,
the newspapers have lately furnished
most interesting descriptions, has late
ly visited Washington and made ss-
ries Of experiments at the Arsenal, in
the presence of several military and
scientific gentlemen, who were highly
gratiied at the result. These expert
ments were made on Saturday last.
Yesterday we had the pleasure Of con-
versing for some time with Mr.. Coch-
rane, on the subject Of his invention
and accompanied him to Browns Ho-
tel, where he showed US, his rifle and
carbine. With the permission Of MIR.
Cochrane, we 10y before the public,the

We have reason to suppose that the

been sometime expected with general
cargo from London.
