The wonders of thos sea are as marvelous as the glories of the heavens; and they also _ | proclaim, in songs of unutterable praise, that they too are the work of Holy fingers. Among the revelations which scientific research has lately made concerning tha crust of our planet, none are more interest- ing to the stndent of nature, or more sug- gestive to the Christian philosopher, than those which relate to the physics of the sea and which the investigations connected with the " Wind and Current Charts' the Lieu- tenant Maury have brought to light. They not unly lead us into the workshops of the inhabitants of the sea--show us through their nurseries and cemeteries, and enable us to study their economy--but the latest report from the Superintendent of the National Obasrvatory conducts us into the very chambers of the deep ; it treats of facts which go to show that the roaring waves and the mightiest billows of the ocean repose--not upon hard nor troubled beds--but upen cushions of still water. That every where at the bottom of the deep sea the solid ribs of the earth are protected as with a garment from the abrading action of its currents, and the cradle of its restless waves by a stratum of water at rest, or so nearly at rest that it can neither wear nor move the lightest bit of dnft that once lodges there. The tooth of running water is very sharp. See how the Hndson has ate through the Highlands, and the Niagara cut its way through layer after layer of solid rock, But where are the Hudson and the Niagara, with all the fresh water-courses of the world, by the side of the Gulf Stream and other great "rivers mn the ocean 7"'--(Lieutenant Maury's Physical Geography of the Sea]-- and what is the pressure of fresh water upon river-beds, in comparison with the pressure of ocean water upon the bottom of the deep sea ? Aud why have not the currants of the sea worn away its bottom ? + The pressure of the water upon the bed of our mightiest rivers is feather-light in comparison with the pres:ure of the deep sea upon the bottom under it, Let us see what the pressure is where the 8 | sea is only 3000 fathoms deep--for in many places the depth is even greater than that. It is equal thers, in round numbers, to the p of six hundred h Six hundred atmospheres, piled up one above the other, would press upon every square foot of solid matter beneath the pile with the weight of 1,396,000 pounds, or 648 tons. The better to comprehended the amount y vf such a pressure, let us imaginea column of water just one foot square, where the sea is 3000 fathoms deep, to be frozen from the top te the bottom, and that we could then, with the aid of some mighty magician, haul this shaft of ice up and stand iton end for inspection and examination. It would be 18,000 feet high ; the pressure on its ped- estials would be more than a million and a quarter of pounds ; and if placed in a ship of 640 tons burden, it would be heavy enough to sink her. . «There are curiants- inthe sea where. it - is, 3000 fathoms deep, and some of them--as the Gulf Stream--run with a velocity of four miles an hour, and even more. Every square foot of the earth's crust at the bottom of a four-knot corrent 3000 fathoms deep, would have no less than 506,880--in round numbers, half a million--of such columns of water daily dragging, and rubbing, and g, and chafing over it, under a continuous pressure of 648 tons. Water running with such a velocity, and with the friction upon the bottomn which such a pressure would oreate, would, in time wear away the thickest bed, though made of the hardest adamant. Why, then, has not the bottom of the sea been worn away ? Why have not its cur- rents cut out through the solid crustin which its billows are rocked, and ripped out from the bowels of the earth the masses of in- candescent, molten mater that is pent up' and boiling there ? If the currents of the sea, with this four mile velocity at the surface and this hun- dreds-of-ton pressure in its depths, were permitted to chafe against the solid matter of its bed, theAtlantic, instead of being two miles deep and 3000 miles broad, would, we may immagine, have been long ago cut down into a narrow channel that might have been, as the same ocean, turned up on edge, and measuring 2 miles broad and 3000 deep. But by this the proportion of land and water surface would have been destroyed, and the winds could not have been sucked up trom the sea--for the Jack of area to play upon--vapors for the rains, and the face of the earth would becoma as a desert without water, Now there is a reason why such changes should not take place--why the curterits | should not uproot nor score the deep bed of the ocean--wby they should = not throw out of adjustment any physical arrangement whatever in the ocean ; for in the presence of everlasting wisdom a compass 'has been set upon the face of the deep, ils waters measured inthe hallow of the Almighty were hand, bars and doors were sét to stay its AER amin ga proud waves, and when He gave to "he sea His decree that its waters should not pass His command, He laid the foundation of | the world so fast that they should not be ¥emoved forever. The currents of the deep sea are therefore so adapted and arranged that they should nct wear its foundations away. Its bed ie protected from abrasion by & eushion of still and heavy water. There it lies--that beautiful arrangement--spread out over the bottom of the deep, and covering its found- ations as with a garment, so that they can not be fretted.

The army sites for 1867, show a considerable charge for the detence of the colonies, amounting lo £3,193,278, or nearly sixteen million of dollars. Of this large sum it is proposed to spend £635,604 in Canada, meluding a small amount for British Columbia ; £218,615. in. Nova Sco. tin ; £21,441 in Newfoundland, and the balance in Bermuda, West Indies, and the numerous colonies of the east.

If the labors of the superintendent of the National Observatory, with his assistants, had been attended by no other results than those contained in this discovery touching the physics of the sea, italone would have been, in the eyes of all great and good men, an exceedingly rich harvest for the ime and labor expended. This discovery suggests that the streams of running water in the sea played rather about its surface than its depths. The causes which produce oceanic our- rents reside at and near the surface ; they are changing heat and cold with their pow- ers of contraction and expansion ; the winds itation ; and none of these agents appear capabie of reaching very far down into the depths of the great and wide sea with their influences. On the other hand, the most powerful agents in the atmosphere reside at and near its bottom ; so that, when these two great there we probably have the greatest conflict, and the most powerful raging of the forces them to rage and roar. layer of cold water in the depths beneath, chafe against the solid bottom. ders of the yond the depth of two or three thousand feet. to establish thi from other points of view. -------- nema Visit or an Encuisu M.

Seventeen thofeand persons including the representatives of every nation on earth, were present, each dressed in their national cos- tume. There were mony Russians,Hunga- rians, Turks, Chinese and Ci in the assemblage. The arrangements were brilliant and made there entirety a splendid coup a' il, probably the most maguificent ever witness- ed. The north side of the Emperor's throne was hung with erimeon velvet. In front were the bers of the dipl io corps dressed in uniform. The galleries were filled with ladies and gentleman in full dress. Inthe east end of the building was placed the orchestra, made up of iwelve hundred The exhibitors who were to receive grand prizes, marched to the front of the throne,each groupe separately,the first being fine arts; As each name was called, the recipient ascended the steps of the throne, bowing to the Emperor and Empress, and 'received from Napoleon's hand the gold medals. These were passed one by one to Napoleon by Marshall Vaillant,uatil all the medals were given. Many of the recipients were called up again and received the deo~ orations of the Legion of Honor, the same y being gone through with as in the case of delivering the medals. The gold medals were only distributed by the Empers or. Altogether, there will be 18,500 re compenses to sixty thousand exhibitors.

In group ten Napoleon himself was awarded a gold medal for a model lodging house. Marshall Vallant was about hande musicians,an organ and musical bells. The roof of the building was decorated with streamers showing every colour of the rainbow. The nave was surrounded with ample patherre of natoral flowers growing as in a garden, with flags showing the different nations which had contributed to the Exhibition. In the centre placed on, pedestals, were shown the best specimens of each of the ten groups into which all articles of the Ex- hibition are divided. sent in uniform, with senators and Deputies of the Legislative chambers of the empire.

The imperial cortege was preceeded by squarons of dra- peters. The imperial party was conveyed in six outriders came on in advance of the carriage in which the Emperor was seated. This carriage was drawn by eight horses It contained the Emperor Napoleon the Third, the Empress Fugenie,the Prince Im- perial of France, his Imperial Highness Prince Napoleon Benaparte and one of his sons. There were thousands of people assembl- ed round the Exhibition building at the mo. ment, and the approach of the royal party was loudly cheered by them. The Sultan of Turkey was present. The by three carriages containing Turkish offi- cials of great distinction, who came before the Sultan's carriage. This vehicle was drawh by eight horees, each horse "being led by a servant olothed in rich livery. All these carriages were literally covered with gold having been brought in from thePalace of. Versatlles--where they have lain since the time of Louis the Fourteenth-- for jhe special use of the rulerof Turkey. On the Sultans right hand sat his nephew the heir to the throne of Turkey, and in front of his Majesty were his son and a second ne- phew. The imperial foreigners received a warm welcome from the crowd. The Sal- tan saluted the people by passing his hand from his mouth to his fez. The ladies attached to the French Court were dressed in most magnificent costumes, The officers of Napoleon's household, dressed in full uniform entered the building and took their places behind the throne. Next came Napoleon the Third, having the Sultan of Turkey on his right. The Empress Eugenie came next: He majesty was followed by his Royal High- nese the Prince of Walerythe Prince 1mpe- rial of France,the Princess Royal of Prussia, Prince Humbert of Italy, the Princess Ma- thilde, his Joamisl Highness Prince Nap p the Pri Clotilde the Duchess D'Oate, the brother of the T: coon of Japan, Prince Von Teck, and Lin Royal 'highness the Duke of Cambndge, Field Marshall and Commander-in-Chief of the British army, Napolaon took his seat on the throne in the centre of the group, having the Sultan on his right and the Empress Engenie on his left hand. The Empress was dressed in a robe of white satin, trimmed with silver, and wore a heavy diamond necklace.
