The Gulf Stream; Its Source and its Termination, considered in connection with the contemplated Canal across the Isthmus of Darien, the Bay of Mexico and the Pacific. The Gulf Stream, in all probability, has its orisin the North and South Pacific Oceans, between the parallel of 30 deg. N. and 30 deg.

S. 'Tis between these parallels the trade winds prevail in the North from the N. in the South from the and on the equator the wind mostly prevails from the Eastward. These winds must crea'e a current, and the commingling of their respective streams, no doubt, gives to the water within these limits its progressive motion Westerly, and is thus thrown upon the Coast of China and the islands adjacent; hence the cause of those various currents that are known to exist among the islands in that region. 'Tis possible these islands may have been formed by the dissevering influence of this current.

Be this as it may, I hardly think they have ever offered sufficient resistance to ths continual flow of water to stop it entirely in its westerly course. This course is kept up, or rather it pursues its way until reaching the Indian Ocean; is hre acted upon bv the S. E. trade wind, which sends it towards the East Coast of Africa; there it acquires an impetus towards the Cape of Good Hope, around which it makes its escape to the South Atlantic Ocean: this may be accounted the cause of that strong, boisterly ana north-westerly current that is found to be so prevalent at that point; after doubling the Cape, it pursues, I believe, a W. course, from that to N.

W. along the West Cosst of Africa, until, feeling the influence of the S. E. trade wind, it becomes more westerly and unites itself about the equator with the current there created by the N. E.

trade wind. Thus this current wends its way towards the Car-ribean Sea, together with the outpourings of all those rivers on the Coast of Brazil, from Rio de Janeiro to Cape St. Roque, including the Amazon, Oronocoand the Magdalena in the N. E. part of that country, and finally driven to and piled up, as it were, in the Bay of Mexico, which would seem to be the reserva tory for these immense streams cf water, that may be said almost to encompass the earth.

Here the waters of the mighty deep are thundering at our doors; here they are throwing up barriers across the mouths of our rivers, breaking up and dissevering our continent at least a portion of it into islands, keys and banks, and may eventually burst the bond that unites us to our South American brethren, forming for themselves a channel through which they may flow unobstructed, and thereby encircle the earth entire. This immense body of water, thus collected in the Bay of Mexico, seems to have other apparent outlet than the one formed between Cape Sable on the soutn end of Florida and the Bahama Islands. This lies in the trnck of theN. E. trade wind; this wind doubtless impedes it in its progress to the North Atlantic very materially, and has a tendency, in all human probability, to keep the bay continually flooded.

forced out at this point, however, and no doubt the waters of the Mississippi, Brazes, Colorado and the Del Norte, togither with other rivers that empty themselves into that bay, afford it great assistance in its escape, not. however, without suffering from the effects of its influence; for this opinion cannot well be avoided, that it is the piling up of these ocean wa ters in this bay that gives rise to the obstruction across the mouths of all the rivers in that neighborhood. 'Tis here the water from the rivers meets that of theBeasin powerful opposition; this opposition of force is doubtless the cause ot great commotion and about these waters hence we may presume the cause of the many mouths the Mississippi has formed for itself. It may be reasonably supposed, that if it was to blow a gale of wind for two days, between the parallels of30 North and 30 South, the one from the North-East, the other from the South-East, 'twould be the means of elevating the water in the Bay of Mexico to such an extent, as not only to cause an overflow of its shores, but 'twould have a tendency to flood the banks of any river that admits of access from that Bay, and a further continuation of this cause would perhaps result in effects still more important that of forcing a passage, at the most assailable point, to the Pacific, and thus form a channel unilig the two cceans in one. It has been asserted, I believe, that the waters of the Pacific are higher than those of the Atlantic, this may be so, but I am of the opinion that the waters of the Carribian Sea and Bay of Mexico are higher than either.

In this case everything tends to confirm the fact, whereas in the other, there is nothing to sustain the opinion. We all know that a North-East wind, however light, tends to the flooding of our Atlantic harbors; let U3 suppose the wind to blow a gale from that quarter lor a weeK or ten uays, what wou'd be It w'ould'doubtless be come of the eitv ot left a mere shade of what it is, and its inhabitants would be compelled to take refuje in the Highlands; hence the continual blowing of the trade winds, con-verin as thev do to the same point, must exercise a oowerful influence in elevatiner the water at that point. This great body of water is not only driven to the ay oi iviexico ny tne traae wines, cut tne same force that impels it thither has a tendency to keep it there, for the trade winds extend from 30 North to 30 South, snd thewindonthe equator, as I have said before, prevails mostly from the Eastward. For a further solution of this part of the subject I can only refer vou to any well projected chart. With regard to the narrow boundary that separates the water of the Atlantic from that of the Pacific, I entertain the idea that it will, in the course of time, assimilate somewhat with the present aspect of tne West Inaia is.

from ihe Bay of Campeachy to the Gulf of Darien. Thus the course ot the Gull stream will be diverted in a manner without the assis tance of art. It may not be unreasonable to suppose, however, that its course might be diverted now to some extent, by giving to the river St. Juan the power of promoting this end, by connecting the Lake of Nicaragua with the Pacific. Such a connection would, I apprehend, give to the waters of the Lske together with those of the Carribian Sea, another outlet.

Thus this mighty stream would make the circuit of the globe, lessen to a great extent the difficulty of ingress and egrea? about our Southern rivers, and at the same time afford us safe and easy access to the Pacific. Melancthon. Treaty with Mecklesburg-SchwilRin The Grand Duchy of Mecklenburg-Schwerin hns acceded to the treaty of commerce and navigation concluded between the United States and Hanover, 10th, 1S46. The official announcement of the at'etf i to the treaty was made by the President on Hi- and appears in the Washipgton Union of Su.it ay. The principle of reciprocity in the comtwtrcil relations of the two countries, is recognizee, and some important changes are made in the dta re imposed upon various American products imported into Mecklenburg-Schwerin.

That government agrees to abolish the. import duty on raw cotton and paddy, or rice in the husk, the produce of the United States, to levy no higher import duty upon leaves, slems, or strips of tobacco, imported in hogsheads or casks, than 70 cents United States cuirency on every 100 lbs Hamburg weight; to lay no higher duty upon rice than 37J cents per 1C0 Hamburg weight, ana no higher duty upon whale oil than 18J cents per 100 Hamburg weight. Some unimportant conditions are attached to these provisions, one of which is, that a greater duty may be levied by the government of Mecklenburg-Sehwerin, upon giving one year's notice to this government. The grand duchy of Mecklenburg-Schwerin is a fertile country, containing 229 geographical square miles, and about 550,000 inhabitants, who are said to be in a better condition than any in Europe. Its annual export of corn, when the crop is an average one, amounts to bushels.

At the last accounts he had gone to St. Thomas to purchase vessels, in order to form a fleet, with which he intends sailing to Ma-raceibo, and thence to Caraccas. Business was extremely dull at Laguayra; the merchants were closing their stores on account of the unsettled elate of the country.

Pennsylvanians of the Virginia Regiment. On Monday afternoon, twenty seven of the fifty volunteers who enlisted in Philadelphia for Capt. Bank-head's company of the Virginia regiment, and who left under the command of the late Lieut. Mahan, who fell in a duel in Mexico with one of the Virginia officers, arrived at home by the Baltimore cars.

They were met by a large concourse of citizens, and escorted with music to the residence of F. Mahan, the father of Lieutenant Mahan, where they were entertained in a hospitable manner. Some others of the fifty had arrived the Friday previous. Mock Marriage. The Reading (Pa.)

M. Rlir.HMN.Pf Another Woman's Rights' Convention. We gave a brief notice, a few day3 since, of a Woman's Rights' Convention at Seneca Falls, New fork; and we now have before us the proceedings of another Convention of a similar character held at Rochester, on Wednesday last. The Rochester Advertiser says there was a large attendance, and the proceedings were characterized by a zeal, spirit, talent, and enthusiasm rarely excelled in conventions of any character held amongst us." The following ladies were chosen officers of the Convention: Mrs. Abigail Bush, president; Laura Murray and Catharine A.

F. SiebDins, vice presidents; Sarah L. Hallowell and Mary H. Haliowell, secretaries. Mr.

William C. Nell read an eloquent essay on the rights pf woman, in which he took occasion to bestow a high eulogium on the moral and intellectual greatness of the sex, and complimenting them in the highest manner, at the same time denouncing man as a tyrant, and styling woman as the better part of creation. Lucretia Mott took some exceptions to the remarks of this gentleman, and the fuisome adulation and flattery he had bestowed on her sex. She said that man was not by nature a tyrant, but had been made tyrannical by the power which had by general consent been conferred upon him. She merely wished that woman might be entitled to equal rights, and acknowledged as the equal of man, not his superior.

Several gentlemen then addressed the convention, and Mr. Colton, of New Haven, Conn spoke feelingly of his regard for woman, and deprecated the idea of her going out of her proper sphere and engaging in the strifes and contentions of the political world, and to her occupying the pulpit as a teacher of the people. The male speakers generally were disposed to allow all the privileges contended for by woman, with the exception of the elective franchise. Lucretia Mott replied a speech of great sarcasm and eloquence, contending that the gentlemen were rather begging the question. She said the gentleman from New Haven nad objected to woman's occupying tne puipit, ana mueeu sne couia not see now any one educated in New Haven, Connecticut, conld think otherwise than he did.

She said we fcac all eot our notions too much frcin the Clergy, inatend of the Bible. The Bible, she contended, had none of the prohibitions of the kind in regard to wrmen, but spoke of the honorable woman not a few, Mrs. Sandford, of Michigan, followed in a short speech which enchained the aitention of the audience. She said from Semerasis to Victoria, woman had always been found equal to the position she was called upon to occupy She said, give us the rights of property, the right of exercising the elective franchise, and the other rights claimed. We can be as dutiful and obedient as wives, mothers and daughters, even if we do hang the wreath of domestic happiness on the Eagle's talons.

Mrs. Sandfora's speech was eloquent throughout, and we only regTet we cannot give it entire. It was an evidence, if any were needed, that the eloquence of woman could effect much in the sacred desk, in the legislative hail, or fact in any position, where true eloquence was required. Frederick Douglass, (colored runaway slave,) of Rochester, followed in an eloquent and argumentative appeal for women and women's rights, replying to the gentleman who had spoken on the other side. He was followed by Anna Edgworth, who spoke in an able and happy manner for some length of time.

Mrs. Roberts, in a report on the wages paid for female labor, said that the price paid in this city to seamstresses, was only from 31 to 39 eents per day, and generally, this was paid only one half in cash. That the price of board averaged from SI 25 to SI 50 per week, which had to be deducted from this meagre compensation. A series of resolutions were reported by the committee and adopted, which were pronounced by Lucretia Mott as entirely too tame. The proceedings throughout were of a highly in teresting cnaracter, ana tne discussions ot the convention evinced a talent for forensic efforts seldom surpasssed.

The convention closed its deliberations last evening and adjourned. Temferancs Statistics. The New York Herald is indebted to Charles Delavan, for the following interesting statistics on temperance There are at present England, Ireland and Scotland, eight hundred and fifty temperance societies, with one million six hundred and fortv thousand members. In the Canadas, Nova Scotia and New Brunswick, there are nine hundred and fifty temperance societies, with three hundred and seventy thousand members. In South America there are seventeen thousand persons who have signed the temperance pledge.

In Germany there are fifteen hundred tem perance societies, with one million three hundreds thousand members, in Sweden and Norway there are five hundred and ten temperance societies, with one hundred and twenty thousand members. In the Sandwich Islands there are five thousand persons who have signed the pledge of total abstinence. At the Cape of Good Hone there are nine hundred pledsed members. It is ascertained that upwards of seven thousand persons annually perish in Great Britain through accidents, while drunk; and the loss to the working classes alone, through drinking, appears to be annually five hundred and fifty millions of dollars. The enormous sum of four hundred and ninety millions of dollars was expended in Great Britain last year for intoxicating beverages, and five hundred and twenty millions of gallons of malt liquors were brewed last year in Great Britain.

In tne United States there are three thousand seven hundred End ten temperance societies, with two million six hundred and fifteen thousand members, which includes the Sons of Temperance. In Russia all temperance societies are strictly forbidden by the Emperor. In Prugsia, Austria, and Italy, there are no temperance societies. In France, the temperance cause, although vet in i.s infancy, is greatly on the increase. The first temperance society in the world, so far as discovery is known, was formed in Germany on Christmas day, in the year 1600.

Ancient and Modern Temperance Pledges. The following ancient pledge of teetotalism was written and signed by a Bachelor of Divinity and preacher of the Gospel, of England, two hundred and eleven years ago: "From this daye forwarde to the ende of mv life I will never pledge anye health, nor drink a carowse in a lasse, cupp, bowle or other drinking instrument whatsoever, whosoever it be, or ffrom whom-sover it come not my own most gracious kinge, nor any the greatest monark or tyrant on earth, nor my dearest ffriende, nor all the goulde in the worlde, shall ever enforce or allure me; not an angelle ffrome Heaven (who I know will not attempt n) should per-swade me; not Satan, with all his old suttelties, nor all the powers of hell itself shall ever betray me. By this very sinne (for a sinne it is, and not a little one,) I doe plainly find that 1 have more offended and more dishonored my great and glorioHs Maker and most merciful Savior, than by all other sinnes that I am subject unto, and for this very sinne I know it is tlm God hath often been strange unto me. And for that cause, and noe other respect, have I thus vowed; and I heartily beg my good Father in Heaven, of his greate goodness and infinite mercie in Jeeus Christ, to assist me in the same, and to be favorable unto me for what is past. Amen.

Signed Bolton. "Broughton, April lOlh, 1037." The following is the temperance pledge of the present day: I agree to abstain from wines, malt liquors, cider, ordent spirits, and all that can intoxicate, and to neither give nor recommend the same, but in all suitable ways discountenance their use throughout the community. Expiring in Song A singular incident, showing the effect of music upon a Canary bird, occurred in Iloxbury within the last few days. A lady of rare musical attainments was playing on the piano, when all at once her bird, who seemed to have been listening very intently, burst forth into a strain of song so loud, shrill, and powerful, as at once to arrest her attention. Nothing like it had been heard before.

The little creature's breast seemed actually swelling and heaving with his efforts to give vent to the conceptions with whien his tiny heart was beating. All at once, at the full tide of his melody, he was silent. His mistress took him from the cage, and he turned over in her hand and died On dissection, it was found that he had completely split his windpipe from top to bottom Boston Evening Transcript. Rather tough. A Stirrihg Appeal ln Behalf of Ireland, signed by Robert Emmet, Charles O'Connor, Horace Greeley, John McKeon and others, appears in the New York papers of Monday.

The friends of the revolutionary movement in that country are implored to assemble forthwith in every "city, town and hamlet of America," for the purpose of contributing funds to aid the Irish in establishing their independence. In the meantime the probability is that the struggle between the oppressor and ihe oppressed has conrnr enced, and that before the funds now accumulating can reach Ireland, the contest will have been decided one way or the other. The suspension of the habeas corpus act has probably taken place ere now, and if go, a bloody conflict is in progress. Shocking Affair. The following telegraphic dispatch we find in the last Nashville Banner, dated Mount Pleasant, July 27: "A Mr.
