The lorlhcumIng number of The Ameri-
can Rcpertory contains The details of II
| plan for protecting cities and shipping from
the effects Of lightning. which will be read
with much interest. IL is n singular cir
cumslance TINT the plan appears To have
been biz upon almost simultaneously in
ihi, country and in France. In the atler
II has Lcen proposed, as we learn from
GaIIisu,ni's Messenger, by ". Argo, with
u view Of discharging clouds of their cleo
tFic fluid, and thus preventing hail l-si0rms.
which arc generally produced by Two cur
rents Of clouds charged with positive amd
negative electricity, crossing each olher.-
VI. Arso recommends that q small balloon,
properly secured, armed with metallic
points and communicating with the ground
by rope, covered with metallic wire like
harp-strins, should be kept permanently
floating in the air at considerable hcieIIt
over the spot which i, is wished TO pre-
serve from The effects of lightning or hail:
and he expects that By such an appararus
as this. 4 cloud might have It's contents
entirely drawn OF: He proposes this ~
an improvement upon Frankln's expert
ncnt of the kite, with which he obtained
electric sparks from cloud.
10 this country similar plan was 1a.
turcd several months ago, aud commuui.
Gated TO some scientific gentlemen by Sir.
]. 4. Powers of this city. This was long
before Mr.. Acaso's plan was given To the
public, which shows that the ideas were

in detail. and proposing more extended
aud practical benefits.
Mr.. Powers proposes elevsiing. at the
approach OF The thunder cloud, balloon
OF oil silk. armed AT the top with hollow
metallic cone With several finely pointed
ramificaIiors. and surrounded by TWO thiu
metallic bands crossing each other az
rich, angles and connecting the cone with
a rope wound with metallic wi,e when
should reach TO the earth and be connected
with metal frame work, by which the
balloon may he depressed or elevated al
pleasure The frame should have u mr.
ta!lic communication IL or 20 feat he0w
the surfacc of the ground, SO that ,he ecec-
rric 1uid may be more readily dissipatcD
This is q general view Of the plan; We
have not room for further particulars
There is little doubt Thai if carried inf"
practical operation clouds could he easily
discharged OF their, electricity. and rcu
dcred entirely harmless in thar respect.
The Rcpcrtory states that Mr. Powers
has maturcd n plan expressly for protect.
ing this city, by which, for an annual cx.
pense of three cents on each building, lIc
proposes 10 protect the VIC city and tho
shipping in the hnrbor, and that the plan.
together with models, &c. illustrative OF
lis praclicability, will shortly be made

Correspondence of the HERALD
Proceedings OF Congress.

WAsHINGToN, Tuesday, 3 PM.
Much of the morning hour was taken up in the
Senate in the discussion of a bill providing for the
payment OF the sum Of $40, 900 to the heirs of Hall,
the inventor of a certain miserable rifle, which
loads at the breech, and frequently discharges the
load at the same place.
The unfinished business was the bill to remove
cases from the State to the Federal couris-such as
the Mcleod case. MIR. Choate is TO offer an amend
ment restricting its operation to foreigners domi-
ciled in a foreign country.
The House have the Apportionment bill still under
conside Grafton. There is much discrepancy of OPT
mon as TO the proper ratio of representation, and
every hours debate serves to increase it. No good
Of any sort can result from discussing the question.
II must eventually be settled by conference, and
compromise OF the large states ION the part Of The
House, and the small states in the Senate. A COM
bination of the great states in the House can control
the action Of that body, and the result may be pro-
ductive of injustice to the small states, but in the
Sc. ate all are on a level, and the over-shadowinc
popular strength Of New York, Pennsylvania and
Ohio, amounts to no more there than Rhode Island,
Delaware and Arkansas.
