tuency, there are many other valid objections to this
mode oil acquiring fame and popularity, and in our OPT
mon no alterations, except verbal corrections
should be made from the spoken Grafton.
The pcrusal If Mr. Dcw's essay has suggested the
remarks we have vcn:n!ed to make. We commend
the article TO the youthful uspiranl in the field of
tory
There are other articles in The present number OF
the Literary Messenger deserving of notice; but as We
have already trrspascd far upon the patience Of the
reader we Will con.ine remaining observations TO
the article on Madame de Sacl, by Miss Jane T Lomax.
Our first impulse reading this production, to
inquire, who IL Miss Jane T. Lomax' We were foriu.
nate enough 10 be source of information, from
which we gathered rs follows
Miss L. Is The daughter OF the gallant Major Lomaxt
OF the u s. Army, and the charming Miss Lind
say OF Norfolk She is us blown into womanhood, and
beautiful gay and agreeable she is learned and PHI
losophca We hear she is now res dent of Massachu-
sets, but we trust coneenin spirit in her Viz
gina will coax her South of the Potomac. If we
free and twenty-five, would not be content 10 WOO
her portrait, but would fly on the wings Of steam
laugh Love, we meant 10 say-to worship of her
shrine The article before is wonderful the
production of SO young and lovely creature, and
gives promise OF an excellence which may rival the
great woman, the characteristics of whose mind she
so admirably pourtrays. We might point out passages
in this essay of exquisite beauty and finish We can
not resist lnstancing the following:
awe can neither recall the origin trace the pro-
grtss VI Reg, Out coulu we penetrate The un secfets
sumberlng in the sepuicre of the past would dis
tres to be the nsgators Of most important
deeds the fountains of those hopes and beliefs and de-
lusons, which make up the sum of human experience.
The river, rolling in power, bearing wealth its tide,
or making its way by wreck and desolaton, first
mountain stream, unheard in its ripping murmurs,
and scarcely needed in its channel The mate
rial world is full of signs and embems of the restless
world Of human intellect learn The moral OF life in
every change around us, and the heart acknowledges
lesson in the destiny all we have known"
This is not the first time attention has been mr.
rested by the compositions OF Miss Lomax in the Mes
senger. We had marked her merit and We pro-
phesy, that if God spare her life and health she des
tined 10 reach enviable distinction among the lite
rary females of this country.
While MIR. White supply such intellectual feasts
rs those of Professor Dew and Miss Lomax, he need
have no apprehension for the of his magazine
and we only wish he may never get old, but live
and enjoy the well-earned fruits of his enterprise.

Professor Espy-ihe Storm King


We sincerely regret that we were not in possession
of the movements of this distinguished man, until our
columns were filled We should have been proud OF
the opportunity of paying tribute that is due to
the philosophic abors OF one, whose fame has extend
ed over both Continents, aud who holds, as II were,
within his grasp, many Of the secrets of the wind
and of the rain But what higher compliment can be
paid to him, than the Report of the Academy OF Sci
at Paris prepared by such men as Arago, Foul
lat and BabneH They had his theory explained IN per-
son-They analysed his deductons-They heard his
predictions of storms hundred miles distant, and they
thu III verified by the fact-hus proving his intl-
mate acquaintance, with the laws which govern the at
mospere-and they report upon his abors in The fol-
lowing complimentary terms
ain consluson, MIR. Espys communication contains a
great number well and we'll described facts
His theory in the present state of science, alone &C
counts for the phenomena, and when completed as
Mr. Espy Intends by the study of action ofeectrcity
when it interyenes, will leave nothing to be desired
In word, for physical geography, agriculture, navlga-
ton, and meieoroogy, it gives US new explanations,
indications useful for Interior researches, and redresses
accredited errors"
"Conse qucnty, the committee proposes TO the Acade
my give its appreciation to the abors of Mr. Espy, and
to solicit him continue his researches, and especially
TO try to ascertain the influence which electricity exerts
in these great phenomena, of which complete theory
will be Of the most precious acquisitions of modern
science"
We are happy to find, that Mr.. Espy proposes to
give series of Lectures in this City, the fairest
terms The first is to be delivered tomorrow Even
