could have been produced on the climate of
any country by agriculture, and we are GER
tain that no slch theory can account for the
contrary change OF climate-from warm to
cold winters-which history tells us has taken
| place in other countries than those named
Greenland received its name from the emerald
herbage which once clothed its valleys and
mountains; and its east coast, which is now in
accessible on account of perpetual ice Leaped
upon its shores, was, in the eleventh century,
the seat OF hourishing Scandinavian colonies
all trace of which is now lost Cold Labrador
was named Vinland by the Mortimer who
visited it in A. ID. 1000, and were charmed
with its then mild climate.
The cause of these changes is an important
inquiry. A pamphlet by John Murray, civil
engineer, has recently been published in Lon
don, in which he endeavors to account for
these changes of climate to the changeable
position OF the magnetic poles. The magnetic
variation or declination of the needle is well
known. At the present time 1t amounts in
London to about 23o west Of north, while in
1869 the line Of no variation passed through
England, and then moved gradually west until
1916. In that year a great removal of ice
took place on the coast Of Greenland; hence,
it is inferred that the cold meridian which now
passes through Canada and Siberia, may at
one time have passed through Italy and that
if the magnetic meridian returns, as it is now
doing to its old lines in Europe, Rome may
once more see her Tiber frozen over, and the
merry Rhineander drive his team on the ice
of his classic river. Whether the changes of
climate mentioned have been caused by the
change Of the magnetic meridian or not, we
have too few facts before us at present to de-
eide conclusively; but the idea once spread
abroad, will soon lead to such investigation as
will no doubt remove every obscurity, and set.

From the New York Times.
From the China Seas.

The following is letter from gentleman
on board one of the vessels of Commodore
Ringgold's exploring squadron, to his brother
in this CITY, to whom we are indebted for q
copy. 1t will be read with interest:
u. s. STEAMER JoHN HANCOCK,
CANTON, July 20.
Nv last was dated Hong Kong, when and
where we were preparing for sea, and in fact
had received orders to take in six months' provi-
sions. But 10, the orders were couhtermanded,
and in three hours we were on our way to
Whampoa which is about ninety miles up the
river. We arrived there in ten hours. AS the
Vincennes drew too much water to go any fur
Their up the river, Commodore Ringgold hoisted
his broad Pennant on the Hancock, and we
started in half an hour on the remaining fiji
teen miles TO Canton, and inoored head and
stern in front of the European factories, astern
of the United States steamer Queen, and her
Britannia majesty's sloop or corvette Comus, of
twenty guns. The rebels, or, as the Canton
people call them, 7iefa-mans, are surrounding
the city, and we are here to prevent, in case
they take the place, mob taking advantage OF
the confusion to attack the factories. SO, in
addition TO our own crew, we have chartered
two junks and moored them alongside with
sixty seamen and nineteen marines from the
yincennes.
We have light feld-piece stationed in the
factories, and guard OF marines every night
In the day time il is constant drill, and at night
we are prepared for the boatswain's call, All

The merchants have sent on board for safe
keeping about million and half Of Mexican
dollars, and there is good deal more coming

IT, - bof.ora yaotarday he y,taiu and
second lieutenant, with forty men, went fifteen
miles up the river to the scene of action, where
the rebels are encamped, for the purpose Of
seeing for himself whether they were really so
near the city. They took the consul with
them and two interpreters. When the boats
came to the spot there we're the two armies
within half q mile Of each other, in full view
of our party, and the river crowded with man
DARN boats or war junks, every one pulling
from sixty to a hundred oars, and mounting
from ten to twenty guns.
The captain did not get a chance Of speak
ing with the rebel chiefs, for three or four OF
their men, through ignorance, rushed down TO
the waters edge and fred their matchlocks at
the gig, wounding the consul in the cheek.
Our fellows on the instant returned the fire and
killed three of them. Our boats then went
down alongside the mandarins boats and had
n talk with one Of them, then turned tail and
came away.
The John P. Kennedy has been condemned
for the dry-rot, and will be sold, and the Fenni
more Cooper came up here the other day to

Perry comes; and as he has no vessel in
his squadron light enough 10 relieve us, it is
very probable we may remain here long time
which is rather an unpleasant lookout, as our
crew are getting very unhealthy.

The Magnet and Cold.

History informs us that many Of the coun-
tries Of Europe which now possess very mild
winters, at one time experienced severe cold
during this season Of the year. The Iiber at
Rome was often frozen over, and snow at one
time lay for forty days in that city. The
Euxine sea was frozen over every winter
during the time Of Ovid, and the rivers Rhine
and Rhone used to be frozen so deep that the
ice sustained loaded wagons. The waters OF
the Tiber, Rhine, and Rbone, now flow freely
every winter; ice is unknown in Rome, and
the waves Of the EuYine dash their wintry
foam uncrystalized upon the rocks. Some
have ascribed these climatic changes to agri-
culture; the cutting down of dense foresla,
the exposure Of the upturned soil to the sum.

We do not believe that such great changes

ANIMAL AND VEGETABLE PHYSIOLOGY.
Salisbury, Of Albany, has communicated to the
American Scientific Association some expert
ments on plants, which illustrate the analogy
existing between animal and vegetable physi.
ology. He extracted the pioson Of dead rat
tesnake, small portion Of which he inserted
in the plants by moistening with it the blade Of
n knife, with which he wounded lilac, horse
cbesnut, corn plant and sun6ower. In
sixty hours after the infliction Of the wound,
they began to manifest symptoms Of poisoning,
and in few days all their leaves above the
wound were dead. In about fifteen days they
manifested convnlescnce, and nearly all re.
covered from the injury,
