Scientific Notes:

HUDSON botanists are excited over q
floral monstrosity recently discovered
in garden in that city. The flower
itself is perfectly formed rose of un-
usual fragrance. on the top of which
are seven buds, completely filed and
ready to burst.
A NEW style of barometer, composed
of two slender strips of cedar and
wildwood glued together and attached
ty pivot to cross bow shaped frame.
IS In use on lake vessels. Atmosphe ic
variations cause the wildwood to ex-
pand or contract, thereby moving an
indicator in directions corresponding.
IT is certain that the faliing-stars
meteors, and @rolites differ in size
only. and not in composition. Hence
we presume that they are an example
of the materials Of the universe; and
as they contain no elements foreign to
those to the earth we may infer the
similarity of composition in the whole
UNIVERSE fact already suggested by
the spectroscope.
The gold medal of the Royal Astro-
nomical Society of London has re-
Gently been presented to Signor Schia-
parellj, for his remarkable discoveries
in meteoric astronomy. His study of
this subject received great impulse
from his observations of, the meteors
which fell on the nights of August 9,
10 and II, 1856, and he was then con.
firmed in the opinion expressed three
years ago, that great number of the
meteors which usually fall at that
season are distinguished by their
starting from one point in the heavens.
which is called their radiant point.
THE Russian corvette Witias, of nine
guns, has lately made an Interesting
voyage. She passed from the Bay
Islands in Upolu, of the Navigator
group, through the middle of the Pa
cific ocean, and its many clusters of
islands, directly to Nagasaki in ia
pan, and in her course entered many
almost or entirely unknown bays.
Among these was one in New Guinea.
where no European had ever been be-
fore. and where the inhabitants do not
know the use of iron, and are canni-
balls. Captain Nisimow gave to the
bay the name of the EBAY Of the Grand
Duke Constantine"

PRESENT appearance and vulgar conceit
ordinarily impose upon our fancies, dis
guising things with deceitful varnish, and
representing those that are yainest with the
greatest advantage; whilst the nobler oh.

and pass undiscerned by us. But the light
of wisdom, as it unmasks specious impos'

pointed at the twelve o'clock meeting made
their reports.
The committee to whom were referred
the several reports, presented the report Of

said papers their attentive consideration,
and found the same in all respects satisfac-
tory that they furnish the most gratifying
assurances Of the speedy completion of the
great work which has for so many years
occupied so largo share of the attention
Of the people Of Virginia. The committee
express the hope that as this great CONNER

ton, the president and directors would in
the future find it consistent with the inter.
est of the company to reduce the rate of
travel. The report was adopted.

Directors to issue common stock at such
time and in such amounts, within the limits
