the view Of preparing bis report to be sent to
the Secretary of-Wsr. We learn that he has
collected a very interesting fund of information
concerning that portion Of the territory of the
United States about which little is known by
the public ct large. Congress and the country
will doubtless anticipate the FORMULATION Of
the result Of his researches with much interest.
REsroRrD.-In addition to the list Of those
Naval Officers affected injuriously in their posi-
tons in the service by the action of the Retiring
Board, and restored to the active list or placed

lished yesterday, We may not inappropriatsly
mention that on the Sd Of March last the Pres

Five gentlemen who have resided for
many years in Jamaica, and desire change
in It's social and political condition, have
addressed letter to Mr.. Labouchere, the
Secretary of State for the Colonies, direct.
ing his attention to certain suggestions
which they offer, with the object in view Of
arresting the widespread and annuallyiu.
creasing distress which overshadows The
entire population, and has sunk large
portion of the inhabitants into actual desti.
lutiou.' The gentlemen whose names are
attached to the letter are Mr.. Chiuy, one Of
the late chaismen of the quarter sessions,
who has retired on pension; Mr.. Pinnock, n
! Kingston merchant; Mr.. Phineas Abra.
ham, the senior partner in the firm Of Z.
Abraham & Company, of Falmouth; Mr..
/ lIodgson, the chaplain Of the general peni.
tcntiary; and Mr.. Nalpy, u solicitor, and
nephew of our late ellie rls.ice, Si9 ,yeshus
Rowe. They state that the condition OF
the colony is at the lowest possible point,
short Of universal bankruptcy aud ruin; that
real estate has no market value; that dwell
ing houses are gradually decaying, ana
money can with difficulty be raised, even
in return for personal property; that most
Of The necessary articles for consumption
are imported from the United States. while
the natural products are neglected; and that

The Great Snow Storm.

Lieut. NJ. F. Maury, United STATES OBJ
seryatory, issued circular to the country,
inviting answers to certain questions con-
nected with the commencement, progress,
and termination Of the SnowsStonn Of
January Is. Answers have reached him
from North Carolina to Maine, from which
lie complies partial statement, to be fol
lowed by more comprehensive one rs
soon as fuller returns reach him from the
West, South, and ships a, sea.
In this report to the Secretary of the Ma
Wy he says:
From Bertie county, North Carolina, to
Washington, the course of the storm was
due north, and the time three or four hours.
From Washington 10 New Yorb il was
about fourteen hours on the march, with u
furious gale right in its teeth; thence TO
Boston it few at railway speed, making the
distance in six hours; and thence il arrived
at Portland, Maine, at I l p. IN. Of the 18th,
thus making its march in the winds eye
from North Carolina to Maine in about
twenly-six hours.
The cold, the wind, and The fall Of snow,
all Of (which were marked by violence, ap.
pear each TO have had its own rate Of march
The fury of this storm has been unequal
led for many years. Never since the estab,
lishment of railroads has there been such
an interruption Of travel or hindrance 10
the mails. 1t illustrates in very striking
manner the necessity-if we wish thor
oughly 10 investigate the laws which gov.
1 ern the movements Of the great nrial ocean
on which we live-of extending our meleo
rological researches from the sea to the land
! What though this storm may have had III
origin on the land, it caused many ant
dreadful shipwrecks along the shore an,
disasters at sea.
The appliances which, in the progress o
the age, have been placed within the reacl
of men of science would, had the power o
using them been possessed by these men
have enabled them TO give timely warnin,
Of the approach Of the storm to many who's
lives such warning would have saved.
If the system Of daily weather report
through the telegraph, which you have re
\ commended for the Observatory, had bee
established, New York and our shippfn
ports might have had rom eighteen {
! twenty four hours warning in advance Q
this storm; tho industrial pursuits Of tn
country and the convenience of the publ,
) as we'll as the shipping interests, might \
have had the benefit Of such fore know
edge; for the telegraph, the press, aud th
mails can outstrip the wind, and spread tli
news OF its coming faster than itsean run.
are you aware that at this season Of III
year the average number ofsshipwrecks
: aJout one American vessei,for every eigl
4 hours, and that the total value of the loss,
: atsea for the month of January Is set dow
t ss>satpelhipg like four millions of dollarsi
] IIews sinany of these losses would ha,
beau spased the country could few hour
t waIAing have been given s of this stor

FAsmoNApLE WoNEG.--Fashion kills
more women than toll or sorrow. Obedi-
ence 10 fashion is a greater lransgression OF
tic laws Of woman's nature, greater inju-
ry to her physical and mental constitution,
than the hardships of poverty and neglect,
The slave woman at her tasks viii live aud
grow old, and SEQ two or three generations
Of her mistress pass away. The washerwo-
man, with scarcely ray Of hope to cheer
her III her tolls, will live TO see her fashion,
able sisters all die around her, and the
kitchen maid is hearty and strong, ahen her
lady has to be nursed like sick baby. Il
is a sad truth that ,fashion-pampcred wo.
men are almost worthless for al the great
ends of human life. They have but little
force Of character, they have still less power
OF moral will, and quite as little physical
energy. They live for no great purpose
in life, they accomplish no worthy ends;
they arc only doll forms in the hands Of
millners and servants, to be dressed aud fed
10 order. They dress nobody, they feed
nobody, save nobody. They write no books;
they set no rich examples Of virtue and
womanly life. II they rear children, SER
wants and nurses do it all, save to con-
ceive and give them biilh. And when
reared, what are theyl What do they ever
amount 10, but weaker scions Of the old
stockl Who ever heard Of fashionable
woman's exhibiting any power of mind for
which it became eminentl Read the BIZ
ographies OF our men and women. Not
one Of them had a fashionable mother.
They nearly all sprang from plain, strong
minded women, who had about as little to
do with fashions rs with the changing
clouds.
