who saw that either Miss G. had an intrigue
with w., or that she was betrayed by the court

On the following day the landlady asked Miss
Gamble how long the courier had been in her
service, how we'll she knew him, and whether
she approved of all his proceedings! She an
swered unhestatingly that her courier had been
long with her, and that she did not doubt that
his conduct was entirely proper. Indeed, sup
posing the landlady was herself in fault, she
was replied to rather tartly. Thus, while con-
iding in perfidious servant, Miss G. wronged
person who desired to warn her of danger.
LIN the course OF an hour or two, the landlady
sent to inquire when Miss G.'s apartment would
be vacant. Indignant at this insult, Miss G. re-
piled, ''to- morrow morning. She determined
to go to Genoa and join some English friends
who were staying there, and directed the cou-
rier to be ready forthe early train. In the even

to leave so early, and as the nurse was i'll, it
would be better to take the second train. Miss
G. said, "that will bring us into Genoa in the

The United States steam frigate Mississippi is
expected to leave New York on or about the Doth
instant for Annapolis, where she will remain until
the Princeton, now fitting to accompany her on the
japan expedition, is ready The New York Tri-
bune says:
The Mississippi takes out variety Of articles pre-
sens to the Emperor of JAPAN to concate him. astonish
the natives and prepare the way for the desired negoa
ton. locomotive and quantity Of railroad iron will
be taken along with which to show him the operations Of
a railroad. A telegraphic apparatus and wire win also
be taken with which to demonstrate how the ghtnngs
have been converted the of civilization Two Of
the ships engineers Messrs. Z. Robbie and G. W. Alex

guerreotypes will also be used and explained for the in
formation Of his Majesty, by Lieut. Budd A beautiful
barges board to be presented to him Also boxes of
domestic goods comprising great variety Of manufac-
tured articles which give the Emperor idea of
the industrial pursuits of this country and perhaps
ken desire his part for exchange Of commodities
between japan and the United States. The Mississippi
will take ten boats for her There four beautiful
brass nine FOUNDERS mounted carriages which to
be used il necessary by parties of engineers engaged in
surveying They be fitted in the bows of boats which
may be employed in exploring the coast. Should this
petition succeed in its undertaking, and establish COM

THE PENDULUM EXPERIMENTS.

LEON FoUcAULT, the author of the beautiful ex-
pertinent relative to the movement of the earth, has
addressed the following interesting letter to the
Journal des Debats:
Permit me to communicate to you some results
of experiments which have been prosecuting for
time past, and which supply additional physical
evidences of the movement of the earth.
SIN order to arrive at indications of that great
phenomenon have assumed the plane Of rotation Of
body turning on axis, had previously used the
plane of oscillation of the pendulum 1t struck me that
body turning about principal axis which is freely
pended by its centre of gravity should like the pendulum
when put in notion resist the attraction Of the earths
movement. An apparatus constructed this principle
has accordingly furnished the additional proof sought
of the rotation.
Firmly braced towards the in absolute space the
axis of the turning body when examined with the micro
scope to retrograde slowly from east and
travels in continuous the field Of the in
strument like the image of heavenly body in the focus
of the astronomical glass.
81 have moreover discovered by experiment on bodies
turning upon themselves singular property, which
sonng had suggested to beforehand refer force
of orenaton, which tends to bring the axis of the body
into parallel with that Of the EARTH and to dispose at
the time the two rotations in the same direction
This force Of orentaon manfests itself whenever the
axis Of the turning body is maintained in plane fixed
with the EARTH full liberty Of directing itself in this plane
being left it.
/ "Ths new property of revolving bodies gives very
marked testimony of the earths movement recalling to
extent the evolutons of the magnetic needle When
it acts in horizontal plane the axis Of the body seeks
the NORTH and the apparatus acts like dpneedle when
it acts in any vertical plane the axis of rotation ncines
and initiates in approxmang the direction of the ter
restrial axis, the inclination needle.
For the last four months these facts have been sub
stantated in my mind without doubt and to present
them to the Academy Of Sciences waited quietly to the
end of the vacation and the return of occasion vora
bic to the narration of somewhat tedious abors But
learning that Of distinguished

If the aggregate Of empoyments open to women were

women to work for in Europe, and paying them with
the produce Of mems labor in this country If this policy
does not restrict the range Of employment for women in
America thereby seriously diminishing her average COM

more doubt than Of existence that protective
