Lower James River.

The improvement OF the lower James
river under Colonel CRAIGKGLL and Major
WHITCoMB is conducted chiefly upon the
principle which prevailed in the deepening
OF the channel in the delta Of the Missis.
sippi-viz., the narrowing of the channel
Of the river, aEd thus compelling it to
scour out its own bed and deepen its chan
mel. Thus far it has proved successful,
and there can be no doubt thst it will con-
tinue TO do its work. The commission ap-
pointed by General GRANT to examine the
improvements OF the rivers in Europe was
a great advantage to the country. Major
WHtTCoMB was upon that commission. He
brought back with him some valuable
knowledge in the matter OF hydraulic en-.
gluecring. In The works upon the Danube
were found many things to interest and in
st:uct the commission. We think that in
those works there were lessons that threw
some light upon the efficacy OF the prin-
ciple developed so triumphantly in the
EADs jetties.

ST. SyITHIN's DAY.-Yesterday was St.
swithin's day and everybody who knew
them repeated these lines:
:. st: Swiihin's day, If thou dost rain,
For forty days IL vii. BE- raining;
&c Svithiu,s DIV II thou be fair.

- st: Swiihin day, If thou dost rain,
For forty days IL will. BE- raining;
Sc Swithin's day. If thou be fair.
For forty days twill rain nae Inair."
A few years ago it did rain in Richmond
on St. Swithin's day, and also daily fol-
nearly if not quite forty days thereafter.
So Richmond people might be excused il
they had some faith in the predictions Of
this very ancient cold Probabilities"
Therefore. to quiet the fears Of all such.
we quote from the Baltimore Sun the fol.
ing:
In the present season OF dry weather the
:dea of the absence Of rain until August
Oath, when the forty days would expire.
would be enough to bring dependency to
the most hopeful OF farmers and planters.
For their consolation, however, it may be
stated that observations at Greenwich, Eng
land, for twenty years proved the fallacy Of
the popular belief, for it was found that The
greatest number of rainy days after St.
SNithin's day had taken place when the
18TH OF July was dry. II, therefore, it be
fair or rainy to-day, it would not be safe to
calculate on having that kind of weather for
the next forty days.
