The magnificent packet boat Delaware passed
up the canal this morning, for the first time,
with company of ladies and gentlemen, bound
for the Great Falls, on pleasure excursion
Quite large number of persons gathered along
the canal wharves to see her start, and all APP
peared highly pleased when she foated off in
beautiful style, with the broad stripes and
bright stars flying at her bows
Yesterday we had gloomy, wet time of it,
and but little business of any kind was trans
acted This morning, however, things look
more cheerful, and all along our streets may be
seen suspended in front of the stores the va
rious emblems of trade. Along the wharves it
looks rather dull, owing to the fact that there
is not to be found at them single one of either
line of packets or any other large vessels, all
having been loaded Immediately upon their last
arrival with flour, grain, &c.
Owing to the unfavorable state of the weather
yesterday, there was no transactions of moment
in flour or grain.

A NOVEL DEMONSTRATION OF THE EARTH's
ROTATION. -Messrs. Editors: The phenomenon
of the whirlpool in funnel, always moving in
the same direction, if not counteracted, has long
been a subject of unsuccessful investigation
among scientific men. The public will be pleased
to learn that the Rev. Z. D. Saunders of Potts
vile, has submitted demonstration of the
principle to the Academy of Natural Science of
Philadelphia. 1t traces the cause to the earths
rotation. That we should have so simple and
beautiful an illustration of the earth's movement
is unexpected The demonstration will appear
in the next number of the academy's proceed
ings. It differs materially from the solution Of
the problem of the pendulum, and of Professor
Strong's wheel, as the motion to be accounted
for is in the opposite direction.
