A pint of atmospheric air weighs' eight grains, aud is no less than forty-six billions, six j hundred and (iffy-six millions of times as i dense as ether. It encompasses the globe, and is supposed to extend about forty miles upwards, in which the birds wing their Hight. The pressure of a stream of

: air upon one square inch is computed tobe j equal to fifteen pounds, and the pressure

ol the atmosphere, in all its diUerent directions to the human body, is not less than twelve or thirteen tons weight. This enormous weight, we should suppose, would crush us to death; but the mystery is unravelled when we pursue our research, and discover that the air and the elasticity which are in our bodies are sutfjeient to

counteract the force, and maintain an e

its elasticity, would leave the globe, and

dissipate itself in the irrmeasurnble regions of space. According to Boyle, the air when most 'dilated, is to itself, when most condensed, as live hundred and fifty thousand to one. The air appears to have the power of destroying the most solid bodies in nature. The marble monuments of an

tiquity have been eaten away by the tooth

of time, or the influence ot the atmosphere, which may be called the universal chemist, (iold alone can be said to escape its rava ges. The atmosphere is the medium of all sound, which could not exist without it. Were the largest cannon in the universe te be tired off in a vacuum, w here there is no air, there would not be the leat sound whatever. The heavier the air is the greater the sound is; and hence, a bel sounds louder in summer than in winter, because in summer the air is clear and dense. Many persons suppose, that in dark c Latdv weathrr the air is very heavy ; but it is precisely the reverse, which may be know n by the descending of smoke, the air not being heavy enough to support it. Ad armnauls choose a clear day to ascend in their balloons. The undulation of the air bears sound to our ears, the most acute of which is said to have seven thousand five hundred and twenty tremors in a second. The sound which proceeds from the ex

plosion of gunpowder is occasioned by tin

rari fact ion of the air in the grains, one of

which, it is supposed, would burst a cannon ball, if confined .qnd fired in it. .The sound, thus proceeding, maybe compared to the motion of the waves, occasioned by the rocking of a boat, passing off in swells. A pound of lead at the pole is heavier than the same piece is at the equator, because the earth being not rount', the lead at the

north or south pole is nearer the centre of attraction, and consequently the force of

attraction is greater. milford hard.

FORKIGX NEWS. Gheat Britain and Ireland. Parliament has been further prorogued until the 1 4th of Novembi r. It w ill be seen by the order in council inserted below, that ats, rye, peas and beans, are to be admitted for awhile, and that the people may eat those foreign products, if able to purchase or obtain them! This great privilege has been received with shouts of joy! The Bristol Mercury says there is not the least sign of an improvement in the woolen trade. Goods are selling at prices truly distressing. Lord Rodon has caused forty ejectments to be served upon his tenants, in consequence of the part they took at the late election, in favor of the popular candidate. It is coniectured that the effect of the

plately issuedorder of council, for the ad

mission of grain, will be, that England will become a customer to the foreigner, to the extent of four millions. It is not, however,

to be imagined that this will wholly leave the country, in "the shape of specie a considerable portion of it will no doubt be required in manufactures. Spain. The work of legitimacy goes basely on. The trial of 72 deputies who voted for inability of the kinp in 1823, has at last terminated, and they are condemned to be strangled, aud their property is confiscated. Their names are given. A man has been capitally punished for heresy, at a lay tribunal at Valencia, with some of the ceremonies of an Auto-da-fe. The Colombian privateers arc commit

ting great ravages cn the coasts cf Sptvla. They have nearly annihilated the coasting trade. Things in Spain appear to be very fast ripeniog for a general revolution. All the affairs of government are deranged and inefficient, and the people are miserable beyond description frequent murder and robbery is added to the distresses of the. half-famished population. In case of another revolution we hope that those who shall take the lead in it, will lay the foundation of permanency for a just and liberal government, by seizing, and without hesitation, shipping off the whole herd oforcrnment priests. There cannot be peace and quietness until these worthless fellows are disposed of. Many of them, distinguished for heir persecutions, might make good oars-men in the gallies, and, perchance, sometimes stop a bullet aimed at better men. Portugal. A conspiracy, the object of which is to proclaim Don Miguel king of Portugal, and the queen-mother regpnt of the kingdom, has just been discovered at Lisbon, and defeated. In the night of the 2 1st of August, the four cavalry companies of police, which formed the principal strength oftheconspirators,were surrounded and disarmed, and immediately the greater part of the individuals of whom the conspirators consisted, were embarked for the Azores. This operation was conducted with a promptness and vigor, which show that the government exercises equal vigilenee and decision. On the 22nd, a supplement to the official gazette was published, giving an account of the detection and suppression of the affair. Greece. It is said that the Turks have failed in an attack upon the island of Samos, with the loss of two frigates and two brigs. Ibrahim was inactive, perhaps triable to move, until reinforced. Gt:n. Nicolas, ti e ' Turk eater,"" is said to have been killed in a severe aliair with the Egyptians. There are rumors of serious disturbances at Constantinople, and of great slaughter of persons, or of an insurrection. Lord Cochrane was in the bay of Cagliari, on the 1 1 th of August, with a large team vessel wailing for some ships tojoin him. Letters from Constantinople state, that Stratford Canning, in order to quit the discontents of the Turkish government, has d eclared to the Divan, that Lord Cochrane was no longer a Biitish subject, and that if tie was taken prisoner in the war against the portc, the Iviglish cabinet would not demand him. Tne Turks have possession of Athens, through the treachery of a Greek raptain4 who went over to the Turks with 500 men. The pacha immediately honored him with the caftan, and discharged the arrears of pay duc to his troops. Commodore Hamilton, of the British ship Cambria, with a laudable zeal for the preservation of the relics of antiquity in that city, has procured a firman from the porte, prohibiting their mutilation. The plague rages dreadfully in some of the provinces of Asiatic Turkey, Two out of five attacked, die. The English frigate Sybille,capt. Spencer, in an attr.ck upon some Greek pirates, had lost upwards of one hundred men killed and wounded, and was obliged to withdraw from the attack, and surrender a prize and some prisoners she had taken. Africa. The slave trade is prosecuted with great activity,chiefly by vessels under the French flag. One vessel had 70 miserable wretches stowed in her lipIJ. Ten slave ships were atone placo,ng PapaPs, as the negro chief is called. The British continue to make captures. When the day ef retribution shall come, who will be able to stand ?
