By- The majority of the Judges of the S

preme Court, in their recent decision on the
application of Passmore Williamson for writ
Of habeas corpus, intimate that if Mr.. Will
hanson desires to be released from prison, he
should make an amended return to the writ is
sued by the authority of the Distrit Court OF
the United States, while the apologists OF
Judge Kane, who arc beginning TO End them,
selves forced to find some excuse for what is
owEgenerally conceded to be piece of wan,
ton persecution, demand why the prisoner does
not amend his return to the writ and thus Sc
cure his release from prison. These gentlemen
seem to lose sight of the somewhat important
fact that an application was made TO Judge
Kane by the counsel of Williamson for per-
mission to amend the return, and that the APP
plcation was promptly refused by the Judge
A correspondent Of the Philadelphia BaHstia
who was present at the time Of williamson
sentence, SAYS:
As soon as Judge Kane had finished read
ing the celebrated decision in which Wiilioml-
son, was committed to the custody of the
Marshal without bail or maniprize" United
States District Attorney Vankyke Sprang TO
his feet and moved that a commitment under
the seal of the Court issue, and that William
son be handed over to the custody of tie
Marshal
"Beforc Judge Kane made any reply what
ever to the motion of Mr. Van Dyke, Mr.
Gilpin rose and asked that the prisoner hare
PERMISSION to emeR& TIE return.
Mr. Van Dyke objected. ...
Judge Kane then said that Mr. Gilpin was
too late with his application rs the motion OF
Mr.. Van Dyke had already been granted
Mr. Gilpin rejoined that he was not aware
that his honor had made any reply to the mo-
ton of Mr.. Van DYKE
The Judge replied that he had directed
the clerk TO make ont the commitment, and
that it was now too late"

PHUosorHY or RAIN.-TO understand the
philosophy Of this beautiful and often sublime
phenomenon, so often witnessed since the crea-
tion of the world, and so essential to the very
existence of plants and animals few facts de
rived from observation and long train of ex-
perimeutS must be remembered =
l. Were the atmosphere everywhere at all
times of uniform temperature, we should ne
yer have rain, hail or snow. The water alb
sorbcd By it in evaporation, from the sea and
the carth's surface, would desccud in an imper-
ceptible yapor, or cease to be absorbed by the
air when it was once fully saturated ? The
absorbing power OF the atmosphere, and, con
scqueHty, its capacity to retain humidity, Is
proportioaately greater in warm than III cold
air
The air near the surface of the earth is warm
er than it is in the region Of the clouds. The
higher We ascend from the earth the colder dc
we find the atmosphere Hence the perpetual
snow on very high mountains in the hottest
climate. Now, when from continued eyapora
ton the air is slightly saturated with vapor
| though it be invisible aud the skv cloudleSS, il
its temperature is suddenly reduced, by cold
currents descending from higher TO lower
| latitude by the motion OF saturated air TO a
| lower latitude, its capacity TO retain moisture
Is diminished. clouds are formed, and thereSnlt
is rain 1t condenSes, it coolS, and like a sponge
! filed with water and compressed, pourS ont tht
water It's diminished capacity cannot hold
| How singular, yet how simple the philosophy
| Of rain What but OmnlStience could have tie
viSed such an admirable arrangement for wa
| tering the earth !

Al Obituary.

An article in the last North American
Review contains the following obituary OF
the Northwest passage:-
y aThe Northwest Passage has been found,
and found To be impossible. 1t can never
he opened as the pathway of civilization,
and from it commerce can reap no gains
I, has been found to be, alas the destruc-
lion of noble ships, the grave Of heroic men
Hencefor.h let it rest in its gloomy soli-
tude."
Obituaries have been often blamed for
being too euogislic. The above does not
contain any praise, but It certainly possess
es the more valuable quality of truth. Al
ter all, however, scientific men may not
improperly deem that to have led the fer
lorn hope in that enterprise, was as honora-
bic as to occupy the SINE post in some war
of aggrandizement or sPoliation. Those
engaged in these las. hayt generally been
rewarded BIZ The world with its lonieat
plaudi,s, and ,her actions form the great
staple Of Mandatory history The men who
have lost their lives il the prosecution Of
scientific inquiries, do no, form the millionth
part of those who have been sacrificed at
the shrincs Of unholy ambition. It may be
useless and blameube 10 make any farther
researches in those northern regions. But
some persons will very much blame the
the projectors Of Franklin's last expedition,
while they regard with great comp!aceacy
fusomely luudatory history of the inipr
rial tyrant who invaded Egypt and made
the expedition to Moscow.
