THE CAHLK OF TIIK WOULT):
The work! is finished, it* spinal cord is laid, and now it begins to think. A "living nerve has been unwound, from tho Anglo-Saxon heart, and tied in a true love-knot between tho Old World and the IN'ew Time turns loiterer un its westward way, and Sea, the narrow selvedge of the globe.
Wlicai the Crystal Palace was opened in iT.ondun like a great eye, its retina painted' with all forms of art and science and industrial .skill everywhere from the marble ihatouly waited Divinity's smile, to kindle into* life, sing a Meninonian song, and bid humanity make ro.nn for it in heart and liouf.dbold, io lhe tall corn, that waved its .,i:rcen sabres and saluted a prairie morning from the Tndia lace, the woven air ot tLat owe itigkiV. dews could hide, to i"1tc American canvas that sd'andk' uiirent, like a sea-bird wing, the pipings of Cape .Horn: when that great eye of the laboring Age was thus tilled with its shapes of beautv, there ciimc to it in a sealed case
TI XAMMTFI OF KI.OWJCUS, plucked from the bo.Mim of the New, ami sent all fresh and •fragrant as they wi*n',a token to the Old.
We remembered what long years of experimental toil, alternately darkened by defeat and brightened by glimmers of success, that little gift bad cost what, earnest worker.*, what horizou-makers, had ,di'cd without the sight: what mines had been wrought, what forges glowed, what chemists studied, whiit Faltoiis triumphed /and of nil these, those western flowers.were token. The leaves must fade, they said, but can we narrow spare and lead captive time, and lay them blooming yet within that English heart beyond the sea?
It, seemed to us then—that nosegay— like a fresh thought, borne over the waters oven as the olive branch of old, and like that branch, a token of love and peace.
It was a bringing near 'of flic ends' of the earth it was a flower that, had grown beside a kindred Saxon's door wei. were neighbors we were friends.
It seems to us now:—this Oeeknie Telegraph—a kindred triumph, though a closer bond. There has been a wEnoixc in th English household, and this morning the Old World woke like Adam, with a bride, and found the New World sleeping by his side.
To-day, we hope,but if not to-day, if not already, then some other day, there shall come from the,Court of St. James, to the President bf this'Republic, the pleasant voice of woman it'khall bid him and it, "(!ood morning and good morrow!"—a wish for now and a hope for then it'shall be the voice of England's royal lady 'arid then, face to face in that sweet presence, as earnest as a prayer, the President shall answer for hiiusclf"aud for us, "GOD SAVK THE Ql'EEN.JI
And beyond tlic golden mantle 'of "our western noon, those words, the greeting and response shall go down into tlio deep, dry-shod, as went the Pilgrims guided by the God of the Clcfted Sea and they shall come ilp, here and there, from the sublime baptism, all the freshness and freedom of a spoken answer.
And this is no'achievement' to make lucre wonder within the sea, set like a precious writing in a mighty emerald, is one line more of the barthly Gospel of sweet peace. No bitter thought can grow inveterate now no time for weaving aark Suspicion's web no space to make the warm word cold. The azure enrtain hung so low between two Continents, that its folds were trailirig on the deep, a radiant hand has put osifc, and in the bine embrasure, like ttro friends, they stand and whisper round the world.
And when we think of those weary tossings on the winter sea, month after month when we remember liow like the "Ancient Mariner" they hung fJr breathless weeks amid llie "suwmcr calms. that lay1upon the waters like the Savior's "peace!" on stormy Galilee, "Bay ufler day,day aflcr day,

for the starving* work for the' waiting? whfen we think of those tomb-like gulfs df broad, dumb days that lay between the uttered hope and the hungry heart, and then turn to these little families of words that shall wall?. Undismayed, through the wilderness of the' ocean plateau, in .the time of a heart-beat, we. give" .Fancy a lhr: lough, for here is a fact whose far-fldng shadow it had never painted.
The old Northern caught the Morning by its wings, and wrested from it the time and secret of its flight a Gallic hand stayed it as it flashed from a human face -en route for heaven again, and lo, upon the metalic plate, "the counterfeit presentment an Englishman locked it up, as he ekprbssed it, in a cell of iron, aud the locomotive darted like a shuttle through the iron loom an American kindled a glowing soul within the ribs, of oak, and sent the steamship panting rdund the world.
Greater than all these is th'ajt'American Prometheus who brought down fire from heaven, and livdd t3 tell the story. What shall we say of him then, who played schoolmaster to those loud-voiced tongue's of flame, and taught them the language wherein one Shakespeare wrote, one Mil: ton sang who baptized them in the Atlantic, by an Anglo-Saxon name, that they may go speaking suCh'Words as hearth .and heart, as home, hope anil,heaven.

31H.KALI.0CH KKCALI.KD MtO.UKAXSASTO IIIS BOSTClS7 CIljUKCir. The Ex-Rev. Mr. Kalloch went to Kansas to practice law. lie de^ijiuocl at first to settle at Leavenworth, and was offered a partnership with J. L. Pendery, formerly of Cincinnati, and who has one of the best practices in the Territory, simply because he is almost the only lawyer tlu ro that attends to .his business instead of speculating iu town, lots or making political stump speeches. 35nt Mr. Klilloch didn't like Leavenworth—because there were too many aspirants there for the United States iSenat\ and 'because' he w:fS disgusted with the want of virtue in her politicians. So lie went into the inferior—way up to Manhattan—where lie hoped to'find, pristine virtue an I a few or no rivals for the Senatorship.
It was conceded that one of the Senators would be taken from the Eastern part ot' the Territory. The interior might lay claim to the other, and by settling up there, Mr. Kalloch supposed he would be the man but here again he was doomed to disappointment, for other men had the same sagacioiis views. Phillips, the correspondent of the New York Tribune, as if to outdo the Ex-l!everend, went'Mud settled with hi.s family clear up oh Saline Pork, some sixty or seventy miles yet west of Manhattan. Judge Wright, from Logansport, Intl., projected a town yet further West, and it was thought would hail from there where the Senatorial rjuestiou camo up. The Ex-Reverend got dis: gusted with this kind of political maneuvering, and his virtuous heart was especially pained by the loose'habit of the Pottawattamie women. .So belaid, "twill arise and go back to IJostoii—to1my first- loveto Tremont Temple." lie went—told his old friends in the Church of his disappointment in Kansas— and iotimated his willingness to return.—, A .meeting of the. Clnirch was accordingly called on Wednesday evening last, (the 23th,) and a vote taken in ret'erem-e to re c.illing .him.. Eighty-three votes were cast, and Mr. Kalloch had seventy-six of the number. lie was immediately informed of the result, made his appearance at the meeting, and accepted the call.—Cincinnati Gazette.
THE CLI.VATE OF I'RAZCIt K1VER. One of the most valuable of the practical results of an elaborate work on the cliiiiatc of the United States, published in this city within th# ^a.°t year, wa's-'the demonstration it 'gave that the climate of the north-west coast, arid .of the inferior far toward Lake Winnipeg, was quite the reverse of tliAt' esperiericed" in the'same latitudes on the Atlatlfic', iind higly favorable to occupation1hri8 settlement-' It was predicted in thatwork that a speedy development of this capacity wbiild cnsue when the 1 imate should beqon 1 ^oiTectly known. The Canadian people had moved With fcomo energy tp effect the liberation of that part of the British 'dominions on this continent from the savage rule of the Hudson Bay Company, and nothing, was wanting to eftect an enrly 'development of a line of States ou both sides Of tU cboinidary but the liberation of the company's rule, the demonstration of its superior climate, and some irnpulso to emigration" which should set the ball in motion.
This impulse has come from an unexpected quarter. The new gold fields would draw emigrants over icebergs, or over, deserts of flaming sands, but when it isfoun'd that a salubrious and mild climate and a fertile soil attend die traveler north-west-ward'from Lake Superior, from the first step after leaving that Lake to the very sands of the Pacific coast, the tide of emigration will not only set toward the gold, hut toward the vacant lands whose produce in graiii may coin it1 as fast as the miner on the bar. This capacity for- settlement is the great point, and' that is to be determined by-climate. If the Fraier River country is as mild as the west of England, it is worth "more than the same area in' England by the value of the gold it contains Vancouver's Island is itself half as large as England. New Caledonia on the mainland is larger than England. Our own territory of Washington has a large area west of the mountains
CEAWFOKDS VTLLE,
which is foiH &nd prodttctedj while east of the doaat range a sphco, large5 enough'for two States like PensylVanJa has' a large share ofcultivable surface,- add "a climate not qnite so equable. An empire of the amplest extent ahel the most abundant natnral Tescdurces lies there awaiting occupation, and it is time to consider with some care what its value actually is L'!-f
On the map of this climafoTogicfil wort we find lines for the summer" connecting places of the like measure of beat going very far north, as they go westward from Philadelphia and New York. Where the mean is 72 deg., as at New York', and at points a few miles hortli' of this city, the line connecting points tof that temperature strikes off northwestward after leaving the Ohio River at iVKnetth, and goes almost to our northern! bounddry on the Upper Missouri. Thei ineasrire of 70 deg/goes far on the Saskatfe^awan "®iverj corjneeting its western -plsiins with St. Paul, Chicago, Cleveland, West: Point arid Providence. If these cities have a" tolerable eli mate for the summer, 'the plains of the Saskatehawan, which lie just'east of Fra^ zer River,1 afcross the inain'^cRhih' of the Rocky Mountains, have one capable of settlement. The line of 65 deg. connects Portland, (Maine.) Quebec,,Mackinaw Superior City and Lake Winnipeg. It-goes to the Athabasca River northward, and quite to the 55th parallel, "fnjfrt which it returns southward'to Fort Owen, _Fort Colvillc arid Fort Vancouver, in Oregon. The coolness: of the: couhtly westward is derived from the Pacific,, which prevents a high measure of sumnier heat, the average lpl: the vicinity of yatf'cbhvcr's I&hind and Frazer River being.'betirfcen GO'diid 65' deg., or almost pi-ecisely'".^uch aH that for the West of England.'
1
Taking' the isothermal chart For the winter, we have equally' important results.— The line of thirty-five degrees passes down tbe'ebast aerois the mouth of Frazer River and going its far "south' as Albuqueripitj, in New Mexico, it reached the1'Atlantic'coast: in the latitude of Washington'• Citjf.'-'^"G'oii-i erally, all the lines of temperature foi' thcl winter curve far northward as they approach the Pacific, though they fall off •southward at the mbridian of the west end bf-Lake Superior. The hundredth nieridian is remarkably and inexplicably mild to one who has not studied the: relation of contirientai climates to those of the adjacent seas. Uy this explanation this position affords, however,much of the ease'is-made plain. TheVinds of the temperate latitudes arc steadily from the west,, and they bathc the western coasts in milder air. derived from the adjacent, sea. In this manner ^Ireland, England, the'- west'of Norway and (!er many are far milder 'than the interior of Russia in the same latifciidcK At Moscow'au'd Kazan
!it
is intinitcly eold in
winter, while" on the British coast? snow scarcely ever falls. It is precisely so on the-American continent. Quebec and the Cauadas and the mountainous portion of New England no less represent the cold side, while "Washington Territory, New Caledonia and Vancouver's Island are the new west-of Europe.
Relieving tli.it this gold discovery will accomplish far more than the gathering of gold dust on this Frazer liiver, and that it will 'dcvelopc im empire on our own, as well as upon British soil, wc commend the careful to the study of the demonstrations in regard to the climate in the work we have niuried. The results of scientific research are, in this case, not without practical consequences of the very highest value.—Philadelphia North Americrn.

MUTlIiATJON OF BANK BILLS.

Jcter Cooper, President of the Atlantfe ^legrnph' Company, on 'Thursday telegraphed to. Mr. Field, stating that he was very anxious to know if the Agamcmnon had-laid/her end of the cable. Mr. Heid replied that the Cable had been sucC^ss^jly laid, and signals were parsing unfnterrupiedly throughout its entire length. Mr. Cooper states that it was arranged that no mossage should be transmitted either way'until-the Queen's greeting had been sent to Mr. Buchanan. Wo must, therefore, wait for tlie rcccipt of tlint message before we: can know anything definite about the success of tlio enterprise* Mr. Cooper himself has no doubt of the fact that the Cable ha® been successfully laid to both coasts, as telegraphed by Mr. Field. The folio whig dispatch has bceu received from Captain lludgou by Ins family "TIIIMTY BAY, Thursday, Aug. 5.
