About the beginning of last month a sue
cession Of sewers storms visited the British
Islands causing great loss Of life and prop
erty at sea. In an article on this subject the
London Times sayE
The event was predicted with as much GER
tainty as an eclipse, and could have been an
nounced byEsignals as conspicuous as fiery
beacOns. The information vas actually tele-
Rraphed to several places. Aberdeen, Hull,
Yarmouth, Dover Liverpool, Valentia and
Galway, were apprised Of the pending storm
in the plsinest terms. Notice was sent to
those ports as follows: "Caution-Gale
threatening from the Southwest, and then
NorthWard. Show signal drum" Now, as
ali points OF our coast ars eonnecteu by tele-
graphic wires, and Is there can be no diff
Guilty in showing signals Of this description,
we think it highly desirable that the system
should be established without delay. The
plan, though organized at the Board Of Trade,
is not yet, we are told, in full practical opera
ton. but, as the details, according to the de-
lineaticn given, cannot involve much trouble
or cost, the sooner the scheme is introduced
the befter- odd 'ail48 .-5ss.-a4
MetsoFIooy now rests upon evidence as
palpable as that which confirms our theory
Of astronomy We balieTs those theories,
because the predictions Of an astronomical
almanac are infallihly verified. An eclipse
occurs at the ho r and minute set down for
it. occuIatIons and transits take place with
similar punctuality, and as all things in7a-
riably happen according to the programme,
the truth Of the principles upon which the
science is based becomes evident to all, wheth-
er learned or unleaIned. We areIin exactly
the same position as regards meteorology.a
We cannot yet forecast the general eharac-
ter Of the season, but it seems that we can
really foretel a gale three days before il
comes, and even ascertain the quarter from
which the Wind viii blow. If we have in
deed got to this point-and there appears
no reason to doubt it-the rest ought to be
easy. a

A PHASEoM CARFRETER. = Certain odd

Johns Church in Detroit for some time
past. The Free Press tells this story Of the

night, and caused great perplexity among
our neighbors. who, through wonder and
other sentiments, were unable to sleep. An
investigating committee was the conse-

eipally expended in braalzneek excursions
on the ridges Of the roof, and perilous slides
down inclined planes and seafold poles, dis
covered the cause. A leose board in the

The Charleston correspondent OF the N. Y.
Times says:
One of these powerful Virginis moriars has
been erected on new battery inst below Fort
Moultfie "A beautiful summer house stood in
the way Of the proposed site, owned by faoi-
mating young widow of Charleston. The
"exigencies Of the pablo service" demanded
that it should 60, and although the beautiful
creature brought all her light batteries TO
bear on Maj. RIPLEY and the gallant DUNNO
Want, YET they, 90 often pregnable to Woman's
assaults, stood impregnable here, and left the
widow perfect Niobe. The harsh decree
went forth this morning, and the pet house
went down. / know where there Is a mutin-
ous spirit tonight, and know it would not
take much now to induce that fair creature to
pull down the Palmetto, and spread forth the

It is feared that the British ship Susan O..
OsVsas will blige. She went ashore near the
old United States lighthouse on Morris Island
yesterday, and remains in a very precarious
condition. If should ask a OharlestoniAn if
she had any other iron besides railroad iron, be

of iron on board, Of 8 very dangerous descriP-

they can feel that they have Sumpter com

One of the Alabama volunteers who went
down to Pensacola to take Fort Piekens, told
me last night, at the Planters Hotel, that one
reason they did not do what they swore to do,
was because they could hardly get fodder en- =

gentleman of the Commissariat must have
been in league with the Federal forces. Star

GEN. jams GUN.-Gep. James, of Rhode
Island, has made a statement respecting the
character and performances Of the remarka-
ble gun invented by him, and so successfully
tried few months ago by an Army Board.
BE says:
By adopting my plan the United States, at
small cost, can convert all its old guns into
rified cannon, throwing twice the weight of
metal they now do, with half the service
charge Of powder now used and made to
shootso accurately that 8 ship at distance of
more than two miles from 8 fort would be
struck BY every shot with entire certainty,
as the experiments st Watch Hill show.

weighed eighty-two pounds and a hall, was
