We call particular attention to that por-

.whichsshoWs the e1trayagant appropriations
made blythe Democratic Party at the First
Legislature of the State, in both Houses
Of which we're "a tmajoity Of Democrats,
with Democratic, Executive to sanction
their action. The whole amount is Four
HUNDRED AND SEVENTEEN THOUSAND
($417, 000) DOLLARS I! $.. y
But itshould be. stated that Of this sum
ONLY ELEVEN THOUSAND THREE Hun
DRIED AND FOURTEEN DoLLARs were IL, appro-
priated to pay for old Territorial claims.
Then the CONSTITUTIONAL CONVEX
TON, quasi State affair--whic h the
Democratic Secession from the Maj orlty
Convention made three times as expen-
sive a. would have bee n--cost about Ss64-
900. > szsf " s.ss.= Y
Deduct, therefore, about SIS 900 from

HUNDRED and FoRTY- Two THousAD Dor
LARS i. the amount Of appropriations on
State .Arcou,st passed BY the First Dem

This il indeed fearful record, and we
fear that the half Of the extravaganza Of

OPINION OF THE ENGLISH PRESS.
"Wc have read Mr.. II. S. Browns Lectur-
es with much satisfaction. Mr. Brown
knows how to speak to the people, He has
almost every qualification for it, if we may
judge from his printed addresses. There is
no mauolin sentimentality about him; but all
is hcalthful as the breeze on the hill. There
is no clap-trap; he is both too honest anl too
earnest for that There is neither Pharisaic
sccrn Of vice, NOT any efeminate apoligizing
tor it, but wise Christian mans hatred Of it,
who knows how to look on those who are sin
degraded as his brethren. Hespeaks to the
people almost as one of themselves, only from
higher level and, though he uses their dali
ly phrases, yet he does not thereby pander to
vulg;arity: He has happy acquaintance WITH
ploys them tellingly. There is no afectation
Of extraordinary concern for the poor Or
their souls : but there is that real manly
concern which can afford to dispense with
profession, and to express itself in calm but
brave and sensible earnest endeavours. The
proyerb, Much cry and little wool, you may
reverse in his case. His true desire to benefit
the people is partly shown by the pains with
which he collects and prepares the statistics Of
vice, poverty, disease, &C., in order that his
well-marshalled facts may preach to the under
standing The genuineness of his earnestness5
is evinced by the cheerfulness with which it
tolls along the highway of common sense. He
has no recourse TO reckless, Understanding
charges, and is too strong for exaggeration. -
Truth is enough for him; would that this were
no distinction J.. While he Faithfully touches
the worst vices, yet you never feel that the
censor himself must have 8 coarse taste or pru-
rient ina gin alton. These Sunday afternoon
lectures are not sermons, nor intended to be.
In them he grapples with acknowledged evils
but still, while opening the eyes Of the people
to the real nature Of much Of what their daily
life too often is, and showing what it might be
he is never ashamed Of the Gospel Of Christ,
nor chargeable with even seeming to let them
80 away with the impression that anything
else, and not the king dom Of heaven is the first
jki1g to be sought. In Mr.. Brown we have
MAN aho, we should judge, can afford to go
where any classes Of Gods creatures are do

The Philosophy of Rain.

To understand the philosophy Of this
beautiful and often sublime phenomena.
SO often witnessed since the creation of
the world, and essential to the very exis-
tence of plants and animals, few facts
derived from observation and long train
of experiments must be remembered. /.
Were the atmosphere everywhere, at all
times, at a uniform temperature, we
should never have rain, or hail, or snow.
The water absorbed by it in evaporation
from the sea and the earth's surface,
would descend in an imperceptible vap-
or, or cease to be absorbed by the air
when 1t was once fully saturated. 2. The
absorbing power of the atmosphere, and
consequently lis capability to retain hu-
midity, is proportionably greater in warm
than in cold air. 3. The air near the
surface of the earth is warmer than it is
in the regions of the clouds The high
er we ascend from the earth, the colder
do We find the atmosphere. Hence the
perpetual snow on very high mountains
IN the hottest climate. Now, when from
continued evaporation, the air is highly
saturated with vapor, though it be inyis-
ible aud the day cloudless, if its temper
ature is suddenly reduced by the cold
currents descending from above or rush
ing from a higher to lower latitude, its
capacity to retain moisture is diminish
ed, clouds are formed, and the result is
rain. Air condenses as it cools, and /,
like a sponge filled with water and com
pressed, pours out the water which its
diminished capacity cannot hold. How
singular, yet how simple, the philosophy
of rain What but Omniscience could
have devised such an admirable arrange
ment for watering the earth -.Scienifc

Age of our New Years Day.

a writer in the National Intelligencer
brings to light curious fact, viz: that
we do not celebrate New Years on the
day our fathers, or at least our great
grandfathers, did. He says:
A little more than century ago that
festival fell on the 25th of March through
out the British dominions. The altera
ton was made in the 24th year of the
reign of George H., which will appear
by the following extracts of the act oil
parliament, entitled, An act regulating
the commencement of the year, and for
correcting the calendar now in use"
Preamble-Whereas the legal suppu-
tation of the year of our Lord-accord-
ing to which the year beginneth OH the
18th day of March-had been found By
experience to be attended with divers in
conveniences, etc.
Enactments-That throughout his mai
esty's dominions in Europe, Asia, Afri-
ca and America, the suppulation accord
ing to which the year of our Lord be-
glnneth on the 25th day of March, shall
not be made use of from and after the
last day of December, 1851 and that
the first day of January next following
the said last day of December, shall be
reckoned, taken, deemed, and accounted
to be the first day of the year of our
Lord, 1852, and so on from time to time
The first day of January in every year
which shall happen in time to come,
shall be deemed and reckoned the first
day of the year, etc.
The act also further corrects the then
existing calendar, thus
And that the natural day next imme-
dlately following the End day of Septem
ber, shall be called and accounted to be
the l4th of September, emitting for that
time the intermediate nominal DAYS of
the common calendar.
