OTTAWA, March 12sh.-Wigrius gives as
his theory, which he promised to publish
sitter tne storm had taken place, the follow
ing: This storm has satisfied nae that the
thsory OF opposite tides which advanced in
1864 is correct, namely, that Is is caused bya
vibratory motion Of tho ocean from east to
west. If yeu will look st the terrestrial globe
and see the peculiar position OF the Gulf Of
Mexico, and the tendency of Cape ST. Rouuue
to glance uorthwafd the tides moving west,
you will not wonder at my alarm when OBJ
serving that the moons forces had been ir-
creased to the greatest possible extent, and
that, too, when she is Fastening with the
other planets from south to north across the
equator. This was exactly the condition of
things during this storm, and only one els-
ment was lacking to make this o ter
rible affair for the psople of America
for, mark it well, il the moons
conjunction with the sun had taken place at
l O'Clock on the meridian of IIondor, instead
of o'clock in the morning, London time
10 other words, if the conjunction had taken
place over the Gulf of Guinea instead of
China. the whole American coast, granting
her to have beer, as she was. il perigee,
would have been put under water; and
the time will come, though it may
be thousands Of years yet, when this
will take place. And should Venus and
Mercury happen at that moment to be at
their inferior conjunction, and Jupiter, Mars
and Saturn at their superior conjunction,
breakers will roar In the streets Of New York
city and Florida will BE- under water. All
