sed to Viscount Palmerston by Colonel Reid of the

his attention to the theory of the storms and whose
object has been to investigate, with view to prac

the manner in which information on the subject Of
storms may be collected, and I am instructed by
Viscount Palmerston to use my best endeavors 10

subject as can obtain, with such remarks as may

OUR DELEGATION.

The Editor of the Fredericksburg News
in bird's-eye glance at the leading members
of our State Convention, very properly as
signs to the Delegates from the Jefferson
District that position which their high tai
ent and great experience would give them in
any delibcrative body. lie says:
Which delegation is strongest is ques-
ton often propounded The Richmond. the
Fauquier, the Alexandria and the Jefferson
districts have all strong men, Scott and
Chiffon and Strother constituting the Eau
quier delegation, are all men of unquestioned
talent. Hunter and Faulkner and Lucas of
the Jefferson and Moncure and Snowden Of
the Alexandria districts, are known to the
State for their high character as gentlemen Of
experience and power. The Metropolitan is
the largest, and we should say, the ablest rep
resentation. All six are men of strength
Bolts is without peer. Scott and Lyons
and Meredith and Stanard and Davis are all
men of fine abilities. They have varied but
practical talents which would rank them re-
specially in any delibcrative body.

friend Of the Union, and, withal, true friend

Hon. VIM. l.. GoGaIN has been unaui-
mously nominated for Congress by Wing
Convention of the Fifth District. The
Charlottesville Advocate says that he will be
cordially sustained by the entire strength of
the Wing party in that District, as the &C.
tion of the Convention was clearly In response
to the wishes of the people So manifest was
the desire of every part of the District that
Mr.. GoeGrN should be the candidate that the
name OF no other gentleman was presented,

THE PRESIDENTS PROCLAMATION.

The proclamation Of the President OF the
United States, in relation to the recent ne
gro and abolition riot at Boston, and the ar
rest Of the slave rescued by the mob can
not fail to convince the public of his deter
mination to perform his duty in this matter
to the full extent Of the power with which be
is vested by the Constitution. That the
ring-leadcrs, aidcrs and abettors Of a mob op-
posing the execution Of the sovereign laws
Of the land, deserve, and if arrested, should
receive the seyerest punishments imposed
on the crime Of which they have been guilty
is not to be doubted All the President
could do to bring those offenders to justice
has been done. Having promptly done his
duty be will naturally look to the conscrva-
tive, patriotic and law abiding citizen through
out the Union to sustain him in his high
attitude, and to give him assurances Of sup
port in any contingency of difficulty that may
grow out of bis firm and determined course
in seeing the laws faithfully executed. Such
support and such assurances there are thous-
ands and hundreds of thousands ready to
prefer, and not only TO prefer but to make
good to the end"

BERKELEY AND HAMPSHIRE ROAD.

We learn from Richmond that on the 18th
inst, the House of Delegates passed the bill
Incorporating a Company for the construction
of Road from Martinsburg, by way Of
Boyds Gap and the Bloomery or Forks of
Capon, to the Northwestern Turnpike about
six miles East of Romncy. The bill we un-
derstand, authorizes subscription of $l2, 000
on the part Of the State.
We know of no measure Of more general
Importance to the Counties of Berkeley and
Morgan than this. The Road in question
will open up an easy communication with the
Baltimore and Ohio Rail Road, to an extern
sive and valuable region of those Counties,
now denied an access to market, by the in
PREVENTION of mountains, unless by route so
circuitous and distant as to be of little or no
value.
Nor-would we say to the citizens of Mar
tinsburg-is it of much less Importance to
them and to every property holder among
them. Its effect upon the trade and the pop
ulation of the town, is not to be doubted

gA postscript to letter dated JAN
25th from the Bulletins correspondent at
Berlin, has the following reference to this
sad accident:
| should not send this letter, without men
tioning an event which has just thrown a
deep gloom over the circle of Americans in
Berlin---the death of Mr. John b. Arden,
Attache to the American Ambassy here
He was on his way home with dispatches,
and had reached a village between Minden
and Hanover think, when an accident &C.
Cured to the machinery of the cars, and
they were precipitatcd down steep bank,
and Mr.. Arden was killed on the spot
These accidents are very rare in Germany,
and in this case, he was the only passenger
killed. Strange that travelling SO long over
sea and land, he should at last meet bis
death here. There was something peculiarly
sad about it, for be was young and much be-
loved here, and was Fastening home to his
mother and his promised bride. He had
been particular friend in the family of our
Minister here, Mr.. Barnard.

BIRTH-NIGHT BALL.

We learn that the Ball, on Friday night
last, at STAUB's National Hotel" was very
brilliant affair. There were present more
than sixty couple, whose enjoyment was
abridged only by the fact that they had
danced all night till near daylight" The
entertainment was superb. The "Cicilian

no small degree to the pleasures Of the oeca

ain Offering it he stated that il was not de-

the address or the resolutions, nor could il be
SO. possibly construed that, while expressing
our devotion to the Union our determination to
maintain the Compromise, and our condelnna-
tion of fanaticism in any quarter---while those
ambitious politicians, if any there be in the
designing purposes, seek to dissolve the Union,
and who advocate ession, could not be de-
nounced in terms too severe---that, yet, we
should not fail to do justice to the motives and
feelings of those Southern men, who, under the
aggressions Of the North, and standing as the
assailed party are guilty, tits true, in some in
stances, Of violence in their counsels--that fhsy
should not be classed with Northern fanatics
that we should seek among ourselpes to check, not
to denounce them---that much less should we re-
prove those in the South less immoderate who
continue to warn the people of the necessity of
preparation against the danger to their institu-
lions from the continued agitation of the slavery
question, in the North.---His object was to ex-
clude any impression that such were not our
views.
Perceiving, from aspeech of Mr. HoGE's upon
the Resolution, that it was Enthusiastically
while he did not object to the Resolution he yet,
thought itwou,d seem conflict with the sentiments
Of the Address, &c--and that, under the same
misapprehension, Mr.. CONRAD supposed il would
disturb the harmony of the OCCASION although
not so intended and although it contained moth
ing antagonistic to the Address and Resolutions
which had been adopted---he said he would re-
frain from discussion, and having accomplished
his object of laying before the meeting his views
