am much gratfed to learn, from announce
ment in the papers, that MI Espy is about to deliver
a course of lectures on the Philosophy of Storms. !
was one of his class when he delivered course in
this city some years ago and from the great pleasure
and profit which derived in listening to the clear de-
monstraons OF the manner nature adopts in the pro-
duction Of storms, and great variety of atmospheric
phenomena feel strong desire that my feow-citi-
zens generally should have it in their power to enjoy
the same pleasure. hope that our respectable and
intelligent citizens will postpone all parties OF mere
amusement on the nights when MI Espy lectures,
that young people may not be called off from the
feast of reason which the Espyan Philosophy al
WAYS affords With view Of exciting the curiosity
of nv fellow-cze avail themselves of the pre-
sent opportunity of becoming acquainted with this
most remarkable theory, send you the following par

taken deep interest in Mr.. Espys new theory OF
Storms, and believing that the following accoun; OF
an annunciation of approaching storm by that gen.

Mr. Espy stated in his lecture on Wednesday, the
22d inst, December l84l that though it was then

Westward all that day. probably not more than seven
or eight hundred miles Off that if the wind sprung
up to the Eastward next morning, then, the storm
would reach this place within 80 hours You are
aware that the phenomena occurred predicted in
this place. How it to the Westward is not yet
ascertained.
At the next lecture, Mr. Espy explained, at large
the method of making the predictions, and read from
his Philosophy Of Storms, account of similar
prediction which written down at tie time, by a
gentleman of this city, and afterwards piblished in
the newspapers of the day. A full account of this
storm, and the Of predicting storms of smi-
lar character, may be seen at page 2S9 Of Espy's
Philosophy Of Storms
Conyersing with the President of the United States
a few evenings ago, he told me that Mr. Espy had
made similar announcement to him Of storm in
the North some weeks ago, day uncommonly
fine in Washington-and the announcement was We
riicd as he assured me, by accounts in the newspa

tentively listen to one Of Mr.. Espy will be

equal consistency unite in the support Of IT, and
party names and party prejudices can take no
hold on il for il is truly the measure Of the
friends Of good Government, without reference
to party affinities or personal alliances. We
put il to the consideration of all honest, reflect

upon it according to the dictates of their honest
patriotic understandings Let the President,
and let Congress, have the cordial encourage

ing crisis, and the surges of our national embar-
easements will be staid and subdued, and the
tide of individual misfortunes which is still
sweeping onward, to higher and higher objects,
on shores once believed to be secure against its
desolating reach, will retire within its appropri-
ate limits, and nations blessing will rest upon
those who are the instruments of achieving so
great national good.

ANOTHER ADMINISTRATION MEETING II
BOSTON.

From several correspondents we learn that the
friends of the Administration held another meeting
in Boston on the 18th inst. 1t was full, animated
and consisted of citizens of weight and character
Col Joseph Adams in the Chair, and VIM. Hilliard
Secretary. Among others, the following resolutions
were adopted
Resoired That it is the unaenabe right of all
Americans to discuss openly and fairly the conduct
of those whom they have elected to fill offices of pow
er and trust, and to their motives indicated
by such acts
Resoired That all men placed in authority are
bound to recommend and support such laws, and to
carry out and enforce such acts as will insure the
greatest good to the greatest number.
ReSolred That il is the duty of every good citizen
to uphold and support all those whom they have
placed in power, far they with true hearts and
honest minds, fulfil the duties of their offices to their
best ability IN manner they can scientifically be-
eye to be for the interest of all their constituents
Resolved That in the existing state OF our National
affairs, 1t is the duty of every citizen who loves his
country to do all in his power to aay the spirit of
sectional prejudices and imaginary differences of in
tercs which agitate the public mind and threaten the
disruption of that golden chain which binds our great
Republic
Resolved, That the foul slandcrers of our men high
in office, unjustly mpeaching their motives and at
tempting to destroy their private characters thereby
bringing disgrace upon our nation, and clogging the
Wheeis oi government, snoulu DC aNolueu as Pcs.-
lence, and as the midnight assassin They poison the
air they breathe.
Resolped, That is the of this meeting, that
John Tyler in the administration OF government, has
exhibited great frmness of character and purity of
principle
Resolved, That the two projects for Fiscal Agents
or Banks which passedthe Legislature were not such
as would meet the wants of the peope-npt such as
would restore equal and sound currency to all the
States, and in vetong them the President acted ac-
cordmg to the wishes Of the majority of our country
RESOLVED, That John Tyler deserves the highest
commentator of all men, for his message to Con-
gress, recommending the passage of a Bankrupt law,
and using his influence in its favor, thereby doing
away one of the last vestges Of barbarism, and ele-
waiting our country to the standard of all other civil
hzed countries in its commercial enactments

any magazines in the country.
We have also received from Hampton & Son
Dickens book America work which will sell
rapidly and be read with avidity If we had our
way the work should fall stborn from the press in
this country. The American People should pay no
attention to it-for as long as they after such
productions there will never be any lack of similar
writers to keep them running. If they will persist in
encouraging the production of abusive books, they
may rely upon it they will continue to be produced
The better plan would be to say nothing about Dick

publish books in London about the English. Dickens
has given fatal blow to his successors Gin the lit
