IMPORTANT DISCOVERY IN
VENTILATION.

The London Literary Gazette, after remarking
upon the Importance of ventilation as conducive
to health, says:
" DR.. Chowne has enrolled patent for I'm
prcvements in Ventllatng Rooms and Apart
ments, of the perfect efficacy of which, we be-
lieVe, there cannot be doubt, and on a prnci-
pie at once most simple and unexpected. With
out going into details at present. we NAV state
that the improvements are based upon an action
in the syPhon which had not previously attracted
the notice of any experimenter, viz. that if fixed
with legs of unequal length, the air rushes into
the shorter leg and circulates up, and discharges
itself from the longer leg. 1t is easy to see how
readily this can be applied to any chamber, in
order to purify It's atmosphere. Let the orifce
of the shorter leg be disposed where it can re
ceive the current, and lead it into the chimney
lin mines, into the shaft to convert that
chimney or shaft into the longer leg, and you
nave at once Jne circuIaton compete. n SIM
lar air syphon can be employed in ships, and the
lowest holds, where disease is generated in the
close berths of the crowded seaman, be rendered
az fresh as the upper decks.
The curiosity Of this discovery is that air ia
a syphon rcVerses the action Of water, or other
liquid, which enters and descends or moves down
in the longer leg and rises up in the shorter leg!
This is now demonstrable fact; but how is the
principle to be accounted for? 1t puzzles our
philosophy. That air in the bent tube is not to
the surrounding atmosphere as water, Or any
heavier body, is evident; and it must be from
this relation that the updrat in the longer leg is
caused, and the constant circulation and with
drawal Of polluted gases carried on. But be
this as it may, one thing is certain-that more
useful and important discovery has never been
made for the comfort and health of civilized man.
We see no end to its application. There is no
sanitary measure suggested to which it may not
form most beneficial adjunct There is not a
hovel, a cellar, crypt, or black close hole
anywhere, that it may not cleanse and disiDfect
We trust that no time will be lost in bringing il
to the public test on a large scale, and we fore
see no impeachment to its being Immediately and
universally adopted for the public veal We
ought to remark that fires or heating apparatus
are not at all necessary; and that, as the spec
6cation expresses it, " this action is not prevent.
ed by making the shorter leg hot whilst the lon
ger leg remains cold, and no artificial heat is
necessary to the longer leg Of the air syphon tc
cause this action to take place." Extraordinary
as this may appear, we have witnessed the ex
periments made in various ways, with tubes from
less than an inch to nearly foot in diameter
and we can vouch for the fact being perfectly
demonstrated. Light gas does descend the short
or leg when heated, and ascend the longer LEI
where the column of all is much colder AM
heavier" ..

FRENCH LIBERTY.

Bryant, the poet and editor, in recent letter
from Paris, thus speaks of political liberty al
present in france:
"At present there is very little political liberty
in France, except the liberty of suffrage. The
police can seize the printed sheets of any jour
nal containing expressions which the Govern
ment happen to dislike, and prevent its circuh-
ton. The law Furnishes with severe penalties
the vague offence of printing and publishing
anything which is circulated to bring hatred and
contempt on the Government, and therefore a
trial by jury is allowed in such cases; all that
the jury has to do is to say whether the obnox-
lous urtlcle was published or moi the Judges,
who are the creatures of the Government, de
eide whether the law is violated or not. There
is no chance, therefore, of escape when the Gov
eminent has marked out its victim. People ale
arrested and detained by order of the Govern
ment, and there is no process like that of our
habeas corpus to deliver them, if confined on a
frivolous or insufficient pretext. There is no
liberty of assembling to express public opinions
on political questions, in addresses and resou
tons, or we should have seen the entire people
moving on the Roman question. In short, here
is Government, with popular FORMS conducted
in tho worst spirit Of oligarchy, and allowing
ample scope for the exercise of the most capri.
cious tyranny"

TEMPERANCE IN WINE
COUNTRIES.

My observations in France Al we'll as IN Ger
many and Italy, (says Durbin, n bis "Observa-
tions on the History of Europe \ satisfy Inc that
the people in wine growing cOitrcs IRE much
more temperate than in the North of Europe and
in America. The common wines which are
used on the soil that produces lNem, do not in
toxicate, but nourish, forming , large item, in
deed, in the pab,tlum of the peasant. When he
goes out to his daily toll, he carries with him
loaf of coarse black bread and canteen of
VINE, and these refresh and sustain him; he
rarely tastes meat, butter and cheese. This yin
ordinairs makes a part of his breakfast, Of his
dinner, and of his evening meal and costs him,
perhaps, two or three cents bottle, if he pur-
chase it. 1t is the juice Of the grape, not deriv-
ing its body or taste from an Infusion of spirit
and skillful combination Of drugs, as in our
country, but from the genial soil and benihcent
sun. The truth Of what have hero said, is
supported by tho general remark that drunken-

u 'AMAxIM OF WALHISGToN.--"L Labor to keep
alive in your breast that little spark of celestial
fire, conscience" was one of series of maxms
which Washington framed for his own use when
boy. His rigid adherence TO principle, his
steadfast discharge of duty, his utter abandon
ment of SELF his unreserved devotion to whatev.
er interests we're committed to his care, attest
the more than yestal vigilance with which he
obeyed that maxim. He kept alive that spark
He made it shine before men. He kindled ii
into fame which Illuminated his whole life.
The fact that every barrel of -four which bore
the brand Of George Washington, Mount Yer
non" was exempted from the otherwise uniform
inspection in the West india ports-thst name
being regarded as an ample guaranty of the
