ROTATION OF THE EARTH.

10 ne Editors Of the american Teiegrdph
| GENTLEMEN The late interesting expert
ments with the pendulum, by which it is sup
posed the diurnal revolution of the earth has
been demonstrated and rendered visible, seem
TO have attracted very general attention; and
I"A Mechanic" to meddle with matters o.
science, the writer would venture with becom
ing dffdence to suggest possible difficulty il
the demonstrations alluded to. @
So far as the public have been made ac
quainted with the experiments both at home
and abroad, they seem to have been greatly
wanting in some of the characteristics necessary
to force conviction on the cautious mind Of a
true philosopher. In the first place, they seem
not TO have been sufficiently numerous, MOI
sufficiently extended, to entitle them to the ap
pellation OF demonstrations and, in the second
place, the public have not been informed
whether, in any Of the experiments which have
been made, the variation Of the pendulum has
been observed to traverse the magnetic meri-
dian. 1t is but reasonable to suppose, that like
the magnetic needle the pendulum, in its oscil-
lations, would be in some degree influenced to-
wards the magnetic meridian; and if its first
movements be not precisely in that meridian,
it must necessarily vary until it arrive there !;
and ut that point, the writer supposes, it's
variation will cease. The writer has had no
opportunity to test this influence by expert
ment, and us the public has not been informed
whether any experiments have been made by
others with this view, he would with great diff
fdence submit the inquiry, whether the hori-
zontal variations of the pendulum heretofore
witnessed may not possibly be due to the earth's
magnetic attraction, rather than to it's diurnal
revolution? The free pendulum, in its hori-
zontal movement, is an instrument strikingly
similar to the magnetic needle; and if, instead
of its being allowed to oscillate in vertical
plane, the weight be elevated to the level Of the
point Cf suspension, and maintained in that
position by any contrivance which will not af-
feet its free horizontal motion-as, Tor instance,
by similar weight in the opposite direction,
the two being united by an infexible bar, in
stead of the wire-it will be Mt once perceived
that, after all it is but modification of the
needle, and governed in its horizontal move
ments by the same laws. Even in the simple
pendulum used i'll these experiments, there is
a very manifest resemblance to the needle the
weight in the opposite point of its oscillations
alternately representing the two poles, and the
whole freely turning Oh its central pivot. In
view of this strong resemblance between the
magnetic needle and the free pendulum, it seems
difficult to imagine why the former should be
subject to the earth's magnetic attraction alone,
and the latter not Mt all. .-@
If any of your scientific readers should think
it very silly in the writer thus to doubt, after
great philosophers have uttered their convic-
tions he trusts that they will pardon this as the
first offence OF A MECHANIC.

small but comfortable dwelling house, wood
house, carriage-house, smoke house, and barn ;
woodward, barn-yard, and lane FIVE rods
long from thence to the road; also a front yard,

Of onions, seven bushels of potatoes, three
bushels of sweet potatoes, quarter of a bushel

have also a small nursery upon this seven
eights Of an acre, consisting of over 1000 trees
mostly Of fine size for ansplanting-apple,
peach, pear, plum, cherry, ounce, and grape
trees. During the time of fruiting we had
raspberies, gooseberries, and currants, almost
without measure-bushels of each. Cherries,
peaches, plums, pears, grapes, and apples have
been used as free as water how many | cannot

Advices received from Mexico to the Sd, state
that the finances were in most deplOrable con-

the landing Of the Americans at Tehuantepec
without permission Of the Government. The
american schooner Lear left here month ago
with provisions for the expedition at Tehuan-
tepec, but the Mexican authorities refused the
captain permission to land his cargo, aud
threatened to seize the vessel. A revenue cut

DAMAGE FROM HIGH WATER.-Logansport,
Indiana, Nay 23.-Great damage has been done
on the canal. A viaduct has been carried away
fifteen miles east of Huntingdon, and another
has suffered the same fate six miles east Of the

Huntingdon is injured, and leak has occurred
between Toledo and Logansport. The Wabash
river is very high, and threatens destruction to
the aqueduct and bridge at this place. 1t will

done. ...
