Winds and Currents L. cture In Liverpool by
Lieutenant Maury.
From Wilmer Smiths Eutooean Times. August {.
Upon this subject. Lieut.. Maury, who has recently
arrived from America, under the auspices of the
american government, delivered q lecture in the
Town Hal last evening.
There was very considerable number of mer
On lnts and other gentlemen present.
The MAYOR took the chair, and after having made
some appropriate observations, called upon
Lieutenant MAURY, who stated that he was glad
70 have the opportunity of speaking to them as
merchants of Liverpool, on this subject. The ques-
ton on which he was now addressing the merchants
OF Liverpool was commenced several years ago in
the United States, and the object to give, from
observation, that information viii sh they themselves
possessed. to other parties. In reference to
fhis matter, the British government, in the year 1851
in reference to the then minister Mt Washington,
instructed that minister to call the attention
a plan of meteorological observations. The
honorable gentleman showed that by the
advice OF the government in England, the advice
given to the American government had been acted
was commanded by his government, who had en-
gagged all the naval powers Of Europe to meet him
the question OF neteoroog ical observations to dis
cuss that question in conference which was to take
place in Brussels on the sd Of this month In the
meantime, he had been requested by the United
States government to place before the shpowners Of
liverpool the benefits Of his discoveries What he
had to present before them involved no new theory,
but merely practical benefit to all shipowners. Mr..
Maury then went on 10 show that there was no new
Ory IN his proposition, and from the observations
he made, it was apparent that the latitude and the
longitude had great deal to do with the weather,
and was beneficial, or otherwise, to those who in
dulged in it. The pth OF the lecturers observa
lions amounted to thishat during certain seasonsin
the year the winds blow in certain direction, and
that by series Of experiments which be (the lectu
rer) had had brought before him, this theory
had been indisputably proved. Lieutenant Maury
proved that the way III which he established his
by combination of the united experience Of cap
tains showing how the winds blow in different
months. The fact was, there was no theory at all,
and he did not claim any benefit from it, His prin-
ciple was simply in the abstract. Lieutenant Marry,
An continuation, proved that what he had been
stating resolved itself iuto making short passages
and commended his observations to the merchants
present.
After some observations from Mr.. Towson, who re-
piled toa somewhat personal observation from Lieu
tenant Naury,
