an official source, that in the amount of revenue
which will be requisite to meet the expenditures
Of the Government for the fiscal years ending
the 30th of June, 1850, and the 3Oth June,
1851, there will be deficit of between fifteen
and twenty millions of dollaas. This deficit
will not have been occasioned by any INSULT
cheney Of the current revenue to meet the or
binary expenses of the Government, but by the
extraordinary expenditures growing out of the
Mexican war, and the treaty with that country.

INTERESTING FACT IN GRAFTfNG.-DuH amel,
the celebrated French pomologist and horticul-
turist, ingrafted a young lemon, of the size Of
a pea, upon the branch of an orange tree. 1t
grew there, ripened, and had all the qualities of
the lemon, without partaking of any of the pro-
perties of the orange. 1t is evident, in this in
stance, that the stalk Of the lemon changed the
color, taste and smell of the juices of the
orange tree. And from this experiment, we
have reason to conclude that all the different
figures, colors tastes and smells, which we find
in different plants, are formed in the plants
themselves.

THE EouAroR.-About the year 1910, DR.
Mitchell advanced an hypothesis to account for
the existence of animal remains, belonging to
warm and low ATTITUDES, being found in the cold
and frozen climates of the north. He suppos-
ed the axis of the globe to have changed 80
degrees, at some remote period. That the old
equatorial line extended in the northern hemis-
phere, from the Bay of Bengal, near where the
mouth of the Gauges is, through Thibet, Tar
tary, and Siberia, to the present North Pole, and
thence along in North America through the
tracts west Of Hudson's Bay and Lake Superb
or, to the sources of the Mississippi, and
thence down to the Gulf of Mexico, near its
places of disemboguement, and so onward
across New Spain to the South Sea.
