derneath those Frustrated towards the
south and IL the whirl was from left to
right, the trees with their tops towards
the south would be underneath, and on
the superstition Of whirl either way, il
would be hardly expected that trees near
the middle Of the path would be thrown
either nearly backwards or nearly for
wards, whereas if the motion Of the air
was nearly inwards, such would be the
fact.
18th. As the large drops Of rain which,
would be formed in this dense cloud al
no great height, would not be permitted
10 fall in the centre Of the ascending
column, they would be thrown outwar,
above, and fall within the annulus, an,
in descending they would deviate from
the perpendicular, and slope inward'
below, towards the spout or cone of clou.
reaching to the ground. And these
drops or sheets Of rain or hail thus de-
scending, would increase the violence
Of the inward motion Of the air, at the
surface Of The earth, quantity not easl'
ly calculated.
10th. lfthe spout should not be per
pendicular, but lean towards the north
more of the hail or rain would fall on the
north side, or perhaps all Of il which
might produce some irregularity, ant
greater violence on the north side thar
on the south. And there is some reason
why the spout should lean to the nortl
for the atmosphere within the tropic,
IL about i3 lilies in the winter and IL
the summer higher than it is within tho
polar circle therefore the air in the up
per part Of the cloud will spread out
wards more readily TO the north than to
the south.
18th. lf the spout should stop its mo
tion for few minutes on reaching the
side Of a mountain, the sheet Of rain oI
hail which it poured down on the side,
might become pillar, or number ol
pillars, and cut down immense gashes in
the side Of the mountain-c CONNIE ncing
suddenly, without even disturbing the
old dry leaves and loose materials withiI
. few inches above the upper end of tho
gashes, as is beautifully described in III,
4lh and 10th vols. Of Silliman's Journal
and IN other works.
18Th. In this way four or five times
as mu6 III rain may fall in few minutes
as all the vapor in the air at any one
time would produce, giving out sufiicien
latent caloric to heat up the whole at.
mosphere several hundred degrees-ll
inches of rain heating it 100 degrees.
Many Of the above principles are uni
versaIly recognized by philosophers as
being true-and those which the Proles-
sor considered discoveries be fully illus
trated by experiments with appropriate
instruments, among which the "Nephel
scope" invented by him was prominent.
The lectures Of the Professor have been
attended by large portion Of the litera-
ry and scientific citizens Of this place,
and have excited unusual interest through
the community.

The Supreme Judicial Court Of this
State, closed an unusually long session
in this town, on Saturday afternoon last,
having disposed, we believe, Of all the
cases on the docket. But one criminal
case was tried at this term. II was the
case of Mrs. Hannah Palmer, of T'iv-
erton, who was charged with stealing
"a quantity Of calico from the Globe
Print Works in Tiverton. The charges
were clearly made out and proved
against her, and the jury Of course,
found a verdict of guilty. She was
sentenced to six months Imprisonment
in the States Jail in this town, and to
pay the costs of Court. 1t was truly a
melancholy spectacle to witness a well
dressed, very respectable looking wo-
man, somewhat past the meridian OF
life, e,-having children and grand chill
dren-brought into court on criminal
prosecution, amid the gaze Of crowd
of spectators, to hear the verdict OF
guilty pronounced by a jury against
her, and receive the impartial sentence
of the law. 1t was indeed shocking to
the better feelings of our nature. 1t is
had cnouUh for man IN hn conv;cfoI fo,
crimes and punished for his misdemean-
ors, but it is vastly more revolving and
painful to the feelings, for woman to be
thus convicted and dealt with. We
hope never again to witness similar
case.
The case of Abraham Simmons, OF
Tiverton, charged with numbering his
brother, was continued in consequence
Of his apparent lunacy.

RAIL ROAD ACCIDENTAL serious
accident happened on the Stonington
Rail Road on Monday evening last
Mr.. George Lawton Of Wexford, son
Of Daniel, was instantly killed on this
Road, while passing under Bridge
near Kingston. A correspondent in
Wexford writes us that Mr.. Lawton,
at the time of the accident, acted
us breakman for the steamboat train
which was proceeding south, and at
about 8 o'clock, g miles South of Kings
ton depot, lc attempted to 60 back
and see to some baggage under his care
outside, when stepping up his head came
in contact with Bridge over the Road,
by which he was knocked between the
cars, and his skull fractured so as to
cause his death Immediately. He was
shortly afterwards found dead on the
cars, and was taken to Stonington,
where a coffin was procured in which
he was brought back to his fathers
house in Wexford, by the accommoda-
tion train on Tuesday morning. Mr..
Lawton was employed by the month to
keep tho south end Of the road in order,
between East Greenwich and StoniDg-
ton-was an ovcrscer several months
while the road was grading, and has
been employed on it most of the time
sincc.-He was young man of steady
habits, about "a years Of age. 1t will
be recollccted, (says our correspon-
dent, that Mr.. Lord was killed by a
bridge while passing under it on this
road near East Greenwich, with we'd
ding party, on an extra train, just one
year agopn Monday, the same day.--It
was little remarkable that another Of
the men in the company's employ had
just gone to Providence to be married
to the sister of the bride who was in
the cars when Mr.. Lord was killed,
aud that Mr.. Lawton was then supply
ing the groom's place as breakman.
