Among the May anniversaries held in the city
none of more Importance than that Of the Amerl-
can Bible Society whose ffty-seventh annual meet
ing took place the Sth inst for business purposes
Managers were reelected and a report read, from
which il appears that it's receipts during the last
year approached $4,000 and its outlay very nearly
the same sum- The object Of this Society is 10 place
the Bible in the hands of every family in the United
States Here at least is one cause IN which every
Protestant sect can unite; and that great unnamed
party also of those who have lost faith in dOgmas
suspect creeds and rebel against prlestcraft and
preaching, but still reverence the Bible as the
frst agent Of civilization and religious truth.
With every year it becomes less and less a
collection of supernatural riddles Of doctrine, which
every man guessed and sorted according TO his own
peculiar creed, and more harmonious instruction,
ID story, prophecy and precept, III which the love
of God and our neghbOr is the theme, and all other
points of belief are comparatively as but OF

AN HISTORIC CYCLONE.

A scientific rriend, Mr. f. ii. Jahneke, of ST..
Thomas, West Indies sends us the following highly
interesting history OF the great October storm,
which readers will remember. According TO
Mr.. Jahneke's laborous Investigations Its pro-
gressive velocity was 800 miles per day up to the
"a OF October. and then increased to 400. Scien-
fists and the public generally will find the data
extremely instructive -
This cyclone had its origin to the west OF the
island OF Martinique, on the 25th september ut.,
and Its principal cause was the contact OF the
equatorial current or southerly wind with the
polar current trade wind. From the beginning OF
September up to the 18th the southerly winds
were steady and predominant. on the 26th and

tial brick and stone structure and has cost about
$40, 900, which has been collected principally by

Moab was reached the latter part OF March and

length was measured in the desert ten miles east
southeast OF HesboI, and the surrounding country
covered with network OF trangles. over 600 square
miles have been triangulated and the details OF 500
square miles filed in together with the hill shad-
ing. The whole has been done on the scale OF a
mile TO an inch and IN the same manner as that
pursued by the English engineers in western Pal
estine where they have been at work over two
years. 30 that the maps OF the two expeditions can
be joined together and make one harmonious
whole. This grand undertaking, III carried through
to completion, Will give US an accurate, detailed
map OF Palestine from Dan to Beersheba and IRON
che Mediterranean to Salcah. A number OF inter-
esting ruins were visited ana measurements OF
their plans, architecture &c, taken. Several
new inscriptions have been found and copies
and squeezes made, some OF which are now on
their way to this country. Professor Paine has
carefully examined the sites of Nebo and Pisgah
and has prepared a volumnous report on the iden-
tlcaton OF these interestingsDibcai localities. In
addition to the regular work the whole country
east of the Jordan and from the Zerka Main to Da-
mascus was gone over and reconnaissance made
OF the route travelled. On Lieutenant Steevers
return Beirut he presented to the Advisory Com
mlttee the maps and drawings then in progress
and he was recommended to MAKE an immediate
return to the United States TO lay before the Ex-
ecutive Committee OF the society true represen-
tatiOn OF the magnitude OF the work, its import
