Geograph,ca, Phenomenon.


Russia and Persia present us with geo.
graphical phenomenon truly extraordinary.
There is in. these countries vast region,
covered with populous towns, great COM
mercial establishments, and fertile lands,
which is nevertheless much below the level
of the ocean. The extent Of this low region
is said TO be some one hundred thousand
square miles. In illustration of this depres-
sion is the fact that the level of the Caspian
Sea, and that Of the city Of Astracan, is more
than three hundred feet below the level OF
the Black Sea or of the Ocean. The enor.
nous sinking Of whole country-a phe-
nomenon which is believed to be unexam-
pled-being very difficult to explain by the
operation of kaown causes, has led some
persons TO attribute it 10 the action of COM
ct. In ricochet firing it is evident that the
spot struck by the ball is somewhat depress-
ed. Thus, according to some, the Caspian
Sea and the surrounding country has been
indented by the stroke of an immense ball
that is, comet. But, in the present state
Of geological science, such an idea cannot
be favorably received. No one doubts now
that isolated peaks as well as the longest
and highest range of mountains have been
gradually heaved up from the bosom of the
earth.

Abolit ionism In Old England and New
England.

We publish to day very significant arti
Gle from the London Times, which reflect;
the prevalent sentiment of British states
men on the question of restoring slavery in
The British colonies of The tropics. For years
the British aristocracy have instigated all
manner of mischief in the United States by
violent appeals to tbs mock philanthropy of
the abolitionists; and have used every means
to infame spirit of disunion
Now they are compelled to defend slavery,
not as necessity but as choice. In this
country the prevalent feeling is 10 devise
remedy for the eviI--in England the ques-
iion is how to open anew the traffic with
some sembance of decency, and without
giving too blunt an offence to the moral
sense of the world. 1t is therefore proposed
that some sort of free contract shall exist
between the negro and his master, but it
would very evidently be such free con-
tract as the wolf makes with the lamb-such
as the French Emperor makes with his peo-
ple--or such as England herself makes with
her degraded serfs of India.

men 10 manifest conscientious scruples on
this or any other subject She stocked the
Western World with slaves, and the infa
nous opium trade which she forces upon
China at the mouth of the cannon is not jot
less nefarious than the slave traffic.
But we have adverted to this subject TO
point out the fact that the hypocritical cant
of New England is just like that of Old Eng
land. In the olden time ii was the men Of
New England who grew rich upon the trade
in human flesh and blood and it was their
representatives who, in the formation OF the
national constitution, voted to cG1-l1Es The

LleHTsrSe; e;-The peeuliarities of that ter
rible but myterions agent, lightning, are
made the subjeotsof an Interesting paper in
a recent number of the British Quarterly Re-
view. Two clouds are not necessary for the
production of lightning, which is discharged
from solitary clump of vapor, when the
connection can be established with the
earth. A French academician, named Mar
cole, describes a case where a mere cloud
let, about foot and half in diameter, kill
ed a poor woman by dropping thunder
bolt upon her head. 1t has been shown by
Faraday that the electric fluid contained in
a single flash might be supplied by the de.
of one grain of wafer alone.
